Between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, the major broadcast networks ABC, CBS, and NBC and their liberal cable networks CNN and MSNBC have yet to devote a single second to disturbing new allegations leveled by the Daily Mail against Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff that claim he slapped a then-girlfriend in 2012. In contrast, NewsNation has had robust coverage with 30 minutes and 50 second on the allegations reported by Daily Mail senior writer Josh Boswell (which made anonymously by three friends of the woman whom Emhoff dated) and the double standard if these claims were made against a Republican. Newsmax was the only other cable network to have touched it with 11 minutes and 29 seconds. Instead, ABC, CBS, and NBC have combined for 27 minutes (27:08) obsessing over January 6-related matters with the newest filing by Special Counsel Jack Smith against former President Trump and the Kamala Harris-Tim Walz campaign cutting a new ad about what Senator JD Vance (R-OH) said about that day during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. NewsNation’s flagship AM show Morning in America led the way with a segment in each of its three hours. In the last hour, host Markie Martin interviewed Boswell following this table-setter: Bombshell allegations out this morning against Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff. A new Daily Mail article claiming that the Vice President's husband allegedly slapped an ex-girlfriend in the face back in 2012 while the two waited in a valet line after an event at the Cannes Film Festival in France. Now, NewsNation, of course, did reach out to the Harris campaign to respond to these allegations. So far, we have not heard back. Martin first had Boswell explain the story behind how he came to this information, but then invited him to lay out what his article alleged took place in May 2012 in Cannes (click “expand”):     BOSWELL: You've got this girlfriend who'd been dating Doug for about three months and she got some tickets to the AMFAR gala, which is, you know, a hugely high-end, A-list celebrity event in – alongside the Cannes Film Festival in May 2012. They go to this event. Everything's going fine. It’s about 3am. They – they leave. This is in the south of France. They’re waiting in line for a taxi and, Jane, the girlfriend, goes up to the valet to – to try and, you know, slip him 100 Euros to get the car faster. Doug sees her put her hand on the valet’s shoulder, thinks that he – that she’s flirting, comes up slaps her in the face so hard that she spun around. That's what the friends were telling me. MARTIN: Mmmm. BOSWELL: She then manages to get in – she slaps him back two times. She manages to get into the car, but Doug forces his way in also. She’s scared at that point, friends told me. And so, she immediately called one of them. He's a New York businessman, so he was just getting ready for bed in New York. He gets this call from her. She tells him what happened immediately afterwards and then they go back to hotel. The next day, she – she breaks up with him and Doug apparently is – complete –shows no remorse for the incident. And he instead to give some tennis metaphor. He’s into tennis, right? And he said, oh well, it’s no big deal because you got one across the court and down the line, meaning – a tennis metaphor for slapping him back. So, according to the friends, this suggests that Doug didn’t think slapping a woman was a big deal. MARTIN: Ah, well, certainly damning, if true. Martin closed with the other important question here, which is any reaction from either the Harris-Walz campaign or Biden-Harris White House. On both counts, Boswell said “[w]e've gone to them numerous times and they've not responded at all and I think this is important because the Harris campaign is putting Doug front and center” with a message of “womens safety” being “really on the ballot” and “staff funded by public money.” Here’s more from Boswell’s article (click “expand”): DailyMail.com is not naming the woman, who is a successful New York attorney, but will refer to her by the pseudonym 'Jane'. A second friend said Jane, who had been dating Emhoff for three months, also told her about the alleged violence at the time. A third friend told DailyMail.com that Jane first told her in 2014 that she had dated Emhoff, and recounted the full story of his alleged abuse in 2018, when then senator Harris was in the news after grilling Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in a Senate hearing over sexual assault allegations. The friends, who all asked not to be named for fear of retaliation by Emhoff, shared with DailyMail.com pictures of him and Jane together from 2012, and other documents and communications corroborating elements of the story. Jane declined to comment. (….) One of Jane's friends, a top New York businessman, said he was at home getting ready for bed that night when he got an unexpected phone call from her. 'It was hard to hear her because she was sobbing,' he said. 'She told me she was with a guy and he hit her. 'It was very clear what she was telling me. She said she was with a guy, her date, she was at the Cannes Film Festival, and he hit her. She was in the car with the guy at the time. 'I didn't know what to do, I didn't know whether to call the French police. I couldn't get a hold of her after calling back.' He said he still had a 'vivid' memory of the troubling conversation from 12 years ago. 'In later conversations, but pretty contemporaneous with that, she told me more about the guy,' he added. Going back to the beginning of the interview, Martin asked how this story came to his attention. Boswell revealed this story took “[s]everal weeks” to pin down and vet, but “grew out of” his previous blockbuster story about Emhoff from August in which he was the first to reveal the Second Gentleman’s first marriage fell apart following an affair with the nanny and elementary school teacher of his daughters. In addition, he got the nanny pregnant, but the child did not survive. While naysayers may dismiss the Daily Mail outright, Boswell noted Emhoff himself confirmed the affair only hours after publication. After explaining his investigation turned him “documentary evidence – messages, photographs, emails that help[ed] back up” the verbal claims from his sources, Boswell answered Martin’s question about the timing of the story so close to the election. “[T]he thing that really sparked coming forward was seeing the Harris campaign present Doug Emhoff as this feminist ally. And that's what really got that backs up…[One] of the friends…finds it kind of, you know, disgusting was the word she used that they are presenting him as a feminist when, in fact, they say that, you know, he has this abusive background,” he replied. After Boswell’s retelling of the events in question he chronicled in his article and the lack of responses from both the campaign and White House, Martin tossed to a portion of a lengthy segment on Chris Cuomo’s show Wednesday night in which he invited Bill O’Reilly and Stephen A. Smith to weigh in. She noted that while they think it “may not impact the election,” this story “speaks to a larger issue in media coverage.” To see the relevant transcript from NewsNation’s Morning in America from October 3, click here.

Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's Morning Joe on MSNBC, author Ta-Nehisi Coates -- who became famous as a writer forThe Atlantic -- complained about the way Israelis treat Palestinians and compared it to Jim Crow, declaring that he wished people paid more attention to Gaza before the October 7 terrorist attack. As BBC's Katty Kay took part in asking questions to Coates as part of the show's panel, she brought up his history of criticizing Israel and his reaction to October 7: So, for this book, you also went to Israel, and you have been very critical of the Israeli -- Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. Can you put it in the context -- I'm not sure whether you went for this trip for the reporting before or after October the 7th, but put it -- put what you found in the context of those attacks. He responded: Look, my politics are the politics of nonviolence. There is nothing within that politics that can watch 1,000 people be murdered -- be massacred and be okay with that and think that that is somehow justified. The only thing I would add to that which I think -- which I will insist on and think is very, very important. I wish that this country was more interested in Gaza before October 7th. Gaza was described to me while I was over there as the largest open air jail in the world. Like I said, I did not see it for myself. I wanted to -- I was not able to. But we're part of that. We're part of the maintenance of that. We're part of the maintenance of that. And evidence of that fact was everywhere around me during my trip. MSNBC's Symone Sanders-Townsend, who was also taking part in the Morning Joe panel, pushed back: You know, people will say -- I mean, the conversation around the -- just the region prior to October 7th is that it is complicated. People say, "Oh, it's not as black and white," as folks try to make it seem complicated. There's nuance there, but you write that what you saw reminded you of the Jim Crow South. There are people who would say this is not that. Coates responded by misleadingly referring to some roads in the West Bank that only Israeli citizens are allowed to use: I would tell them to go. I would tell them to go. I would tell them, "Drive down the roads in the West Bank where you are only allowed to go certain places if you're either Palestinian or you're an Israeli settler. I would tell them to go to Hebron and watch how people whose ancestors have lived there for generations cannot walk down certain streets.... I would ask them whether they think it's okay for a state to label itself as the only democracy in the Middle East and erects citizenship for one-half of its population and for the other half to erect a kind of citizenship or a residency or a stateless status that is somehow less.I don't know how that corresponds with our definitions of what a democracy is. It was immediately familiar to me as somebody who has been raised on the tales of Jim Crow and whose parents were born into Jim Crow. He did not mention that Palestinians who are Israeli citizens are allowed to use the roads or that restrictions were introduced because terrorists were using the roads to attack Israelis. Most Arabs who actually live within Israel are either Israeli citizens or are eligible to apply for citizenship but choose not to, Coat Most Palestinian Arabs who live in the West Bank or Gaza Strip are living in disputed territory that has never been annexed by Israel, so it would not make sense to grant a right to vote in Israeli elections. These are the areas that would already be part of an Arab state if the Palestinian leadership had not repeatedly rejected two-state solution proposals by past Israeli governments. Transcript follows: MSNBC's Morning Joe October 1, 2024 7:30 a.m. Eastern- KATTY KAY: So, for this book, you also went to Israel, and you have been very critical of the Israeli -- Israel's treatment of the Palestinians. Can you put it in the context -- I'm not sure whether you went for this trip for the reporting before or after October the 7th, but put it -- put what you found in the context of those attacks. TA-NEHISI COATES: Yeah, I did. It was made 2023, and, like I said, I went to the West Bank -- I went to, you know, cities throughout Israel. I went to Haifa, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, South Hebron Hills, Ramallah. And the one thing that people told me the whole time I was there was, "You have to go to Gaza." That turned out to be a lot more difficult than I wanted. It was 10 days. And then, when I came back, I was trying to, you know, get back. I was supposed to go in October, and, you know, for obvious reasons, I, you know, I could not go. Look, my politics are the politics of nonviolence. There is nothing within that politics that can watch 1,000 people be murdered -- be massacred and be okay with that and think that that is somehow justified. The only thing I would add to that which I think -- which I will insist on and think is very, very important. I wish that this country was more interested in Gaza before October 7th. Gaza was described to me while I was over there as the largest open air jail in the world. Like I said, I did not see it for myself. I wanted to -- I was not able to. But we're part of that. We're part of the maintenance of that. We're part of the maintenance of that. And evidence of that fact was everywhere around me during my trip. SYMONE SANDERS-TOWNSEND: You know, people will say -- I mean, the conversation around the -- just the region prior to October 7th is that it is complicated. People say, "Oh, it's not as black and white," as folks try to make it seem complicated. There's nuance there, but you write that what you saw reminded you of the Jim Crow South. There are people who would say this is not that. COATES: I would tell them to go. I would tell them to go. I would tell them, "Drive down the roads in the West Bank where you are only allowed to go certain places if you're either Palestinian or you're an Israeli settler. I would tell them to go to Hebron and watch how people whose ancestors have lived there for generations cannot walk down certain streets. I would ask them to talk to Palestinians about a water system that sees Israelis with access to four times as much water as Palestinians. I would ask them whether they think it's okay for a state to label itself as the only democracy in the Middle East and erects citizenship for one-half of its population and for the other half to erect a kind of citizenship or a residency or a stateless status that is somehow less. I don't know how that corresponds with our definitions of what a democracy is. It was immediately familiar to me as somebody who has been raised on the tales of Jim Crow and whose parents were born into Jim Crow. JONATHAN LEMIRE: The complication, though -- and I'm curious to get your thoughts - of course Gaza run by Hamas, a terror group. COATES: Gaza, I would dispute the idea it is run by Hamas. [?] And the reason why I would dispute that is because there was a cordon around Gaza. You do not have freedom of movement in and out. You do not have an airport. You don't have the right to go out and fish and make a living. If your child, for instance, who needs cancer treatment, you need permits to get out to actually get that cancer treatment. They ran it within a certain context. And I need to be absolutely clear about this. This is in no way -- in no way to say Hamas is great or Hamas is good or to sympathize with Hamas, but I do think we need to be accurate about what the power dynamic is there and what the effects of that are. LEMIRE: And, again, your visit there May 2023 ahead of the October 7th attacks.

Former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn prides himself on telling the truth. When it comes to January 6, though, he and the truth often appear to be at odds. That is the powerful contention in a new Blaze Media video production, “A Day in the Life of Harry Dunn: Part One — A Leisurely Pace,” streaming on BlazeTV and social media. The video chronicles some of the tales told by the most famous police officer on Jan. 6 — and then reveals what really happened. Steve Baker, a Blaze News investigative reporter who researched and narrated the production, said Dunn’s carefully crafted story — told before Congress, on network talk shows, and in his best-selling book — is nothing but fiction. “Everything he did to establish his fame was done deceptively,” Baker said, recalling Dunn’s dramatic retelling of a briefing he attended at the Capitol early on Jan. 6. It was a meeting that security video proves never took place. “When one opens their own narrative with so much detail about the time, the location, the content of the meeting that never happened,” Baker said in the film, “well, then everything else he says about January 6 must be called into question.” 'Harry rose to fame based on deception and lies.' Just as more doubts began to emerge about his truthfulness in 2024, Dunn retired from the Capitol Police. After a losing bid for the U.S. House of Representatives, Dunn joined the presidential campaigns of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. “I don’t think it’s a stretch of the imagination, I don’t think it’s an exaggeration, to say that we are one election away from the extinction of democracy as we know it,” Dunn told CBS News when he announced his bid for Congress. During a presidential election panel discussion in Michigan in August, Dunn said news accounts undersold the amount of violence he and other officers experienced on Jan. 6 at the hands of Trump supporters. “The violence that you saw was probably 10, 100 times worse than what the cameras portrayed it to be,” Dunn said in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn laughs with President Joe Biden before Dunn is awarded a Presidential Citizens Medal at the White House on Jan. 6, 2023.Photo by Drew Angerer/Getty Images Dunn was not the target of violence on Jan. 6. The Blaze Media investigation showed how Dunn’s dramatic tales about his actions on Jan. 6 don’t match thousands of hours of Capitol Police security video that Baker reviewed. Security footage shows Dunn’s stories simply don’t match the evidence. Baker got the initial idea for the video while listening to Dunn testify for the prosecution in the first Oath Keepers trial in October 2022. The details Dunn shared not only didn’t add up, they were different from what he told the FBI in his first meeting with agents in 2021, Baker said. Baker discovered that Capitol Police Special Agent David Lazarus could not have witnessed an alleged confrontation Dunn had with the Oath Keepers. Dunn testified under oath that Lazarus was present near the Small House Rotunda with the Oath Keepers. But at the time Dunn claimed it took place, Lazarus was on the other side of the Capitol. As Baker dug into more of Dunn’s public statements and media appearances, other problems became apparent. Included among them was Dunn’s contention that he engaged in “hand-to-hand combat” with rioters and that fellow officers were carried away on stretchers during the worst violence of Jan. 6. Then there was Dunn’s most widely repeated story of a group of 50 white-supremacist Trump supporters chanting the N-word when he told them he voted for Biden in the 2020 presidential election. A review of hundreds of hours of footage from that day, tracking Dunn's whereabouts, did not uncover any evidence that any such "hand-to-hand combat" or racially charged interactions occurred. “The key to the story is that Harry rose to fame based on deception and lies,” Baker said. Dunn testified under oath before the now-defunct Jan. 6 Select Committee. He made countless television appearances on CNN, MSNBC, and the ABC talk show “The View.” He received a Presidential Citizens Medal from Biden at the White House in 2023. Dunn’s 2023 memoir, “Standing My Ground,” received widespread media attention. Baker said the book, much like Dunn’s other public testimonies, is “a gold mine of lies.” Capitol Police and Dunn did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment. Like Blaze News?

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) definitively won Tuesday's vice presidential debate. Whereas a number of liberal pundits admitted as much, MSNBC talking head Joy Reid did her best to characterize Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's abysmal showing as a strategic victory. Midway through her latest mental gymnastic routine, Reid suggested that unlike the undecided voters Walz was supposedly trying to win over with words, the Democratic base is instead attracted to political violence, particularly toward President Donald Trump. "I don't think that this was a debate that was designed to move people off of their team if they were already on it," Reid told her fellow panelists. "There is a very small, narrow group of people who have not made up their minds about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris." According to Reid, Walz satisfactorily targeted that "small, narrow group of people" and gave them what they want and haven't alternatively been getting from Kamala Harris: policy details. Unlike undecided voters hungry for more information, Reid suggested that the base of the Democratic Party wanted to see a "fist fight." 'Democrats are still calling for violence.' "Democrats want to see someone get up there and give a knuckle sandwich to Donald Trump," continued Reid. "That's what they want, but that's not the group of people who need this debate. Those people are already voting, already know what they want." Reid's admission that the Democratic base wants Harris' opponent to be met with physical harm appears to support the finding in a recent poll concerning Democrats' bloodlust. Blaze News reported last month that nearly 3 in 10 Democrats polled by RMG Research for the Napolitan News Service following the second attempted assassination of President Donald Trump indicated they would have preferred for Trump to have been slaughtered at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida. The suspected would-be assassin who had waited for Trump at the golf course was himself a long-time Democratic donor. The would-be assassin who shot Trump in July was also an ActBlue donor. Responding to Reid's suggestion, conservative columnist Joe Concha wrote, "Joy Reid can say this stuff because as management showed with the Ronna McDaniel debacle, there is no accountability and the power is with the so-called on-air 'talent.'" Concha was referencing the vicious smear campaign waged earlier this year against Ronna McDaniel by Reid, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinksi, former Biden White House press secretary Jen Psaki, and Rachel Maddow and other talking heads at MSNBC after NBC News announced it was hiring the Republican. In response to Reid's comments about physically attacking Trump, Libs of TikTok tweeted, "2 ass*ss*nation attempts and Iran plotting to try to get Trump and Democrats are still calling for violence."

The Apple Vision Pro has been available for a few months now. With the recent visionOS 2 update, Apple added one of the long-requested features for this device: Guest User support. Unlike other products, people are curious to try their friends' spatial computers, so this mode gives you peace of mind when others test out your spatial computer. Here's how Apple describes the feature: Guest User is an easy way for your friends and family to try out Apple Vision Pro. And now it lets you save your most recent guest’s eye and hand data — so they can easily skip their next setup and get right back into their experience. Fortunately, it seems something like that could be coming to the iPhone. MacObserver discovered a patent that suggests Apple is working on a new Guest Mode for the iPhone. This could be especially useful for parents, office presentations, and more, as you can lend someone your iPhone without them having access to your sensitive data. Image source: Apple Inc. According to the patent, the iPhone Guest Mode would let the phone owner limit access to multiple apps and features. They could choose which apps others could use before the mode is turned on. The publication also says Apple would even let the owner manage permissions remotely from another Apple device, such as another iPhone or iPad. You could even change guest mode settings in real time, depending on what the other person needs to access. Interestingly, this patent almost feels like what iPad users have been asking for ages: the ability to have multiple users on a single device, similar to the Mac. If it ever launches, it could mean iPads could be shareable by family members or in a classroom. It's unclear when Apple will make these functions available. With iOS 18 just released and the company working hard on iOS 18.1 to bring Apple Intelligence features to its newer devices, this sounds like something the company is developing for the long term. Below, you can learn some of the iOS 18 hidden features that you should be using.
