For the first time ever, the audience for the World Series in Japan was larger than in the United States, driven largely by Japanese-born Dodgers’ pitcher/designated star hitter Shohei Ohtani. The ratings for the second game of the series between Los Angeles and the New York Yankees scored 15.9 million viewers in Japan, while the viewership in the U.S. fell to 13.8 million, making it the second biggest TV market for the series, according to data from the Major League Baseball and Fox Corp’s sports division, The Hollywood Reporter noted. Due to the 16-hour time difference, the first two games of the World Series, which were held in Los Angeles, aired in Japan on Saturday morning and Sunday morning. After game one, the Dodgers came away with a 6-3 victory over the NY team and LA also scored a 4-2 victory in game two. Despite the lower ratings than Japan, the World Series has scored Fox Sports the biggest ratings the World Series has had since 2017, THR noted. The ratings for the first two games in the coveted age demographic of ages 18-34 were also up 93 percent, according to Nielsen. And according to the league, World Series engagement has never been higher, with 345 million views on social media and 25 million engagements. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ Saturday’s Game Two of the World Series drew 15.9 million average viewers in Japan, the most ever for a postseason Major League Baseball game in the country, the league said on Monday. https://t.co/abbtBYyNM4 — The Japan Times (@japantimes) October 29, 2024 The ratings for game three in Los Angeles of the series drew another 13.6 million views across all its platforms on Fox, Fox Deportes, and Fox Sports, making it the most watched World Series game three since 2018, when 13.3 million viewers watched the Dodgers beat the Red Sox 3-2, the outlet noted. On the Fox network alone, the Dodgers’ 4-2 victory over the Yankees drew 13.2 million viewers, the Wrap noted. The audience was also 63% bigger than the game two series last year between the Texas Rangers and Arizona Diamondbacks, which had an audience of 8.13 million, the Wrap noted. Coming out of game three, the Dodgers are leading the series 3-0. The series will now shift to New York for games 3-5 where the Yankees must come away with the victory if they want a shot at winning the championship, or the Dodgers will go home the victors. Game four of the series takes place Tuesday night in New York. Related: ‘Greatest Day In Baseball History’: Dodgers Star Sets New MLB Milestone

Former President Donald Trump said that President Joe Biden’s attack Tuesday night on the 74 million Americans who voted for him was “terrible.” “That’s terrible,” Trump told the crowd. “Remember Hillary? She said ‘deplorable’ and then ‘irredeemable’ right? That didn’t work out.” “Garbage I think is worse, right?” Trump continued. “But he doesn’t know, you have to please forgive him. Please forgive him, for he not knoweth what he said. These people, it’s terrible. Terrible. Terrible to say a thing like that, but he really doesn’t know, he really, honestly, he doesn’t and I’m convinced that he likes me more than he likes Kamala.” BREAKING: Trump responds to Biden calling 74 million Americans “garbage” Trump says that Biden’s comment is worse than Hillary Clinton calling Trump supporters “deplorable” pic.twitter.com/hEPtEAYAof — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October 30, 2024 Biden made the remark during a campaign call on Tuesday night as Vice President Kamala Harris was giving her closing argument to American voters before the election. “Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage,” Biden continued, referencing remarks that were made at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weekend by an insult comedian. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said. The remarks from Biden in the final days of the 2024 presidential election undercut the message about “joy” and “turning the page” that his vice president, Kamala Harris, is pushing as the Democrat presidential nominee. Biden’s divisive rhetoric comes after Trump has survived two assassination attempts over the last several months.

Reba McEntire wasn’t born into a family of country stars. Instead, she grew up on a farm in rural Oklahoma and helped her family raise cattle. Per Fox News, Reba recently told the Wall Street Journal that she and her three siblings worked hard on the family farm. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Reba (@reba) “My family lived on an 8,000-acre ranch in Chockie, Oklahoma, where my father ran several thousand cattle a year,” she said. “I began working on our ranch at age 5,” Reba recalled. “If Daddy needed a driver to move grain in his pickup truck, he came in and got whoever was there. “ Reba McEntire recalled her dad rigging the truck so she could drive. “I was so little that Daddy put a 50-pound feed sack on the driver’s seat before putting me on top of it. I’d be on my knees to work the steering wheel. He’d put the truck in granny gear, jump out, and off I’d go.” Reba McEntire Was A Cowgirl Through And Through She told the WSJ that not only did she work on the cattle farm, but she also followed in her dad’s footsteps and competed in rodeo barrel racing starting at age 11. @reba Barrel racing prepared me well for my career in the music business. Hear some of the lessons rodeo taught me over the years in my audiobook, NotThatFancy! ♬ original sound – Reba McEntire She shared a clip from her audiobook on TikTok about her days barrel racing, “The kind of drive I learned on horseback set me up for building a career in music. In this industry, the key thing to do is just keep going and keep racing against yourself. There are a lot of talented, hard-working people in the world, but I’m convinced that it’s the ones with an unshakable belief in themselves who end up succeeding most often.” As we know, Reba eventually turned to music and never looked back. She’s had 24 No. 1 hits and won Grammys, CMA awards, and a Kennedy Center Award in 2018. Reba McEntire is an icon but stays humble and close to home. She told the WSJ that she splits her time between Los Angeles and Nashville, and that’s her true “happy place.” This story’s featured image is by Kathy Hutchins via Shutterstock.

President Joe Biden made a crass reference to supporters of former President Donald Trump, sparking widespread condemnation from Americans. The remarks, originally reported on X by NBC News’ Gabe Gutierrez, were intended to rally Latino voters Tuesday. They followed comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s off-color joke about Puerto Rico at Trump’s event Sunday at Madison Square Garden. “Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said on the video. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ Well, let me tell you something. … The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” Here’s the video: pic.twitter.com/7hNp3su8k2— Gabe Gutierrez (@gabegutierrez) October 30, 2024 The remarks drew a sharp and swift rebuke—and even resulted in a rare clarification from Biden himself. “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden wrote. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.” Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it.

The…— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) October 30, 2024 Biden’s repudiation of Trump supporters overshadowed what was billed to be Vice President Kamala Harris’ high-profile speech to thousands of supporters in Washington, D.C. Harris returned to the Ellipse, just south of the White House, where Trump spoke on Jan. 6, 2021. “[Trump] is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election, an election that he knew he lost,” Harris told her supporters. More than 74 million Americans voted for Trump in 2020, the highest total ever for an incumbent president. With the 2024 presidential race tied nationally and in the seven swing states, Trump is aiming to pull off a feat next week once thought unimaginable. The post Biden Attacks Trump Voters: ‘The Only Garbage I See Floating Out There Is His Supporters’ appeared first on The Daily Signal.

Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, gave her “closing argument” speech for the 2024 presidential election at the Ellipse by the White House, the location former President Donald Trump spoke at on Jan. 6, 2021, before a mob of his supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. Harris repeatedly condemned Trump, attempted to define herself as different from President Joe Biden, and presented herself as a conciliator when her record suggests the opposite. Here are 6 fact checks of statements from her speech. “Armed Mob” Harris began her speech by referencing the Jan. 6 protest at the Capitol. She said of Trump, “He is the person who stood at this very spot nearly four years ago and sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election, an election that he knew he lost.” She went on to claim that “Americans died as a result of that attack,” and she noted that 140 law enforcement officers were injured. The claim that the Jan. 6 protesters were “armed” has been disputed. Several carried pepper spray or bear spray. Some wielded flagpoles as clubs and attacked law enforcement officers. Prosecutors charged at least three protesters with having firearms “on Capitol grounds,” or stashed nearby, meaning not necessarily inside the Capitol. Harris is correct that people died, but only two people died directly from the Jan. 6 violence. Seven others died indirectly from events of the day, according to The New York Times. A Capitol Police officer fatally shot protester Ashli Babbitt when she was trying to break through a door, and another protester died in a stampede of fellow rioters. Others died of natural causes or suicide, but the stress from the violence and commotion of the day could have contributed to those deaths. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, initially thought to have died from an attack, actually died of natural causes, although the stress from the day’s events could have prompted his strokes.  ?ARMED MOB? Kamala Harris spins a yarn about the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.She claims Trump "sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people in a free and fair election, an election that he knew he lost."Yet was the mob… pic.twitter.com/cy9uN5MG3r— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 29, 2024 Abortion Lies Harris repeated three lies about Trump’s agenda on abortion. “He would ban abortion nationwide, restrict access to birth control and put IVF treatments at risk, and force states to monitor women’s pregnancies,” Harris said. “Just Google Project 2025.” Trump has pledged to leave the issue of abortion up to the states, even saying he would not sign a federal law restricting the practice. Although Trump briefly mentioned that he would consider restrictions on contraception, he immediately reversed his position and has not returned to it. As for IVF, an acronym for “in vitro fertilization,” Trump has not only not opposed it, but pledged to subsidize it with federal tax dollars. As for Project 2025—a project launched by The Heritage Foundation in partnership with over 100 conservative organizations to empower a conservative president to undermine the deep state and restore the Constitution—Trump has stated that he has not read it and does not support it. The project consists of three major parts: “Mandate for Leadership,” a list of policies Heritage recommends; a database of conservatives who would be interested in joining a conservative administration; and trainings for those in the database. The claim about forcing states to monitor women’s pregnancies comes from a twisting of a policy advocated in the Mandate for Leadership. Even left-leaning outlets like PolitiFact have rightly branded this claim false. The Project 2025 document does not call for the federal government to force states to monitor women’s pregnancies. It does, however, urge the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to require every state to submit abortion data. Currently, the CDC does not require states to submit abortion data, but many of them do. ?ABORTION LIES: How many mendacities can Kamala Harris fit into one statement on abortion? This one is pretty impressive. She claimed Trump will:??Ban abortion nationwide (FALSE)??Restrict access to birth control (DEBATABLE)??Put IVF treatments at risk (FALSE)??Force… pic.twitter.com/pNmBSVhB3C— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 30, 2024 ‘Price Gouging’ When seeking to distinguish herself from Biden, Harris said, “My presidency will be different because the challenges we face are different.” “Our top priority as a nation four years ago was to end the pandemic and rescue the economy. Now, our biggest challenge is to lower costs,” she said. ?NOT JOE BIDEN: Kamala Harris again attempts to define herself as different from Joe Biden. Her message? "My presidency will be different because the challenges we face are different."In other words, effectively they're the same. She's finally acknowledging inflation? is a… pic.twitter.com/Cu5AdXCGXf— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 29, 2024 Yet Harris appeared not to consider inflation her top priority. Her speech largely focused on Trump, abortion, and a few other issues. She did briefly return to costs when she pledged to cut down on price gouging, however. “I will enact the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on groceries,” she pledged. She also pledged to cap the costs of drugs like insulin. By focusing her price remarks on alleged price gouging, Harris suggested that inflation is largely due to greedy companies jacking up prices too high. Yet as Heritage Foundation research fellow EJ Antoni pointed out, there is a far more obvious culprit: government spending. As Antoni noted, “One of the functions of money is that of a measuring tool. If a yardstick were to shrink from 36 inches down to just 30, it would take 120 of these shortened yardsticks to cover the distance of a football field, instead of 100. As the dollar has lost value, it takes more dollars to measure the value of the things we buy.” While Americans feel the pain of inflation, so do businesses. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “businesses have gotten the short end of the stick,” Antoni explained. “The producer price index is used to measure inflation on the products and services businesses buy—sometimes called wholesale inflation—and that index has risen 17.5% since Biden took office. Conversely, the consumer price index, the widely cited metric for inflation faced by American families, is up 17.1% over that same time.” “Businesses have actually been sheltering consumers from some cost increases in an effort to maintain market share and not lose customers,” he wrote. “That also explains why, according to the Biden administration’s Census Bureau, total corporate profits have fallen for the last six quarters after adjusting for inflation.” “If alleged price gouging were really the cause of inflation, did businessmen magically become greedy when Biden took office?” Antoni asked. “Were corporations never greedy in the 40 years leading up to Biden’s inflationary expansion of government? Businesses haven’t even passed all their higher costs on to consumers; if they’re trying to be greedy, they’re doing it all wrong.” ?PRICE GOUGING?! Once again, Kamala Harris pledges to "enact the first-ever federal ban on price gouging on groceries," suggesting that those eevil greedy companies are responsible for higher costs, not her precious government spending. I've fact-checked this claim numerous… pic.twitter.com/ZAL1r1zGI7— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 30, 2024 Immigration Harris accused Trump of cynically using immigration as a campaign issue rather than attempting to solve the problem. “Politicians have got to stop treating immigration as an issue to scare up votes in an election,” she said. “I will work with Democrats and Republicans to sign into law the border security bill that Donald Trump killed.” “We will quickly remove those who arrive here unlawfully, prosecute the cartels, and give Border Patrol the support they most desperately need,” she added. “I will work with Congress to pass immigration reform, including an earned path to citizenship for hard-working immigrants.” Yet her narrative does not align with reality. Biden only supported the “border security bill” earlier this year, while he issued multiple executive orders on his first day in office, reversing Trump policies like the Migrant Protection Protocols (commonly known as “Remain in Mexico”) and instituting a system of catch-and-release. Furthermore, not every Democrat in the Senate even voted for the bill Biden supported earlier this year, and critics have warned that the bill would have cemented Biden’s open-border policies into law. Trump, by contrast, directed his administration to crack down on illegal immigration when he was in office, creating new policies to prevent illegal entries. ?SCARE UP VOTES: Kamala Harris suggests Trump treats immigration as an issue to "scare up votes in an election," not a serious issue. She pledges to sign the Biden-backed bill Trump opposed earlier this year and pledges to create an "earned path to citizenship for hardworking… pic.twitter.com/j8zgtssWRN— Tyler O'Neil (@Tyler2ONeil) October 30, 2024 People Who Disagree Are Not the Enemy Harris claimed that she does not consider people who disagree with her to be the enemy. “I pledge to listen to experts, to those who will be impacted by the decisions I make, and to people who disagree with me,” she said. “Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy. He wants to put them in jail. I’ll give them a seat at my table.” “I pledge to be a president for all Americans, and to always put country above party and self,” she added. Yet Harris’ record suggests she does consider those who disagree with her to be the enemy. ??THAT'S RICH:Kamala Harris pledges to listen "to people who disagree with me.""Unlike Donald Trump, I don’t believe people who disagree with me are the enemy.

(Planned Parenthood denied it did so.) Harris, who received funding from Planned Parenthood during her 2016 Senate campaign, directed her office to search Daleiden’s home, seizing his video footage and preparing a legal case against him. Her successor as California attorney general, Xavier Becerra (now secretary of Health and Human Services), filed 15 felony charges against Daleiden and his center in 2017. “I would say this is an abuse of the criminal process,” Peter Breen, special counsel at the Thomas More Society, told PJ Media in 2020. “I could point you to undercover investigations that are being shown on the evening news in Los Angeles. Under the standard they are applying to David, those would be felonies.” In May 2020, Daleiden sued Becerra and Harris, claiming Harris conspired with Planned Parenthood to violate his civil rights by prosecuting him for the undercover investigation. That case remains pending. Harris also targeted the conservative groups Americans for Prosperity and American Freedom Law Center. Her office demanded that those groups turn over their IRS Schedule B tax forms, which include donor information. Both groups refused to hand over the forms, citing concerns for donor anonymity. Harris’ office threatened to suspend their nonprofit registrations and fine their leaders. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld their rights to protect donor anonymity in a 2021 ruling. In the U.S. Senate, Harris served on the Senate Judiciary Committee. She aggressively questioned Trump’s nominees on issues arguably unrelated to their official positions. She pressed nominees over their membership in the Catholic fraternal organization the Knights of Columbus, because it upholds the Catholic Church’s position against abortion. She also joined her colleagues in pressing Allison Rushing, another Trump judicial nominee, about her participation in events with Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian legal organization. As Harris spoke Tuesday night, Biden rallied Latino voters and condemned a remark about Puerto Rico during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who spoke before Trump, called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage.” “They’re good, decent honorable people,” Biden said of Puerto Ricans. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of these people is unconscionable and it’s un-American.” Speaking about Hinchcliffe Tuesday, Trump told ABC, “I don’t know him, someone put him up there. I don’t know who he is.” ?IT'S REAL:Here's the evidence that Joe Biden did indeed say of Trump, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters."I remember the "basket of deplorables."
