Vice President Kamala Harris was asked point blank on Wednesday night to name a major legislative policy goal that she would pursue if she became president. She was unable to name any. Harris was asked the question at CNN’s town hall event by an audience member who wanted to know “one major policy goal” that she wanted to pursue in Congress and why. “Well, there’s not just one,” Harris responded. “There’s a lot of work that needs to happen.” “I think that maybe part of this point that — how I think about it is we’ve got to get past this era of politics and partisan politics slowing down what we need to do in terms of progress in our country,” she continued. “And that means working across the aisle.” She claimed that she has accomplished things in bipartisan fashion before and that she was committing to “work with Democrats, with Republicans, with independents to deal with a number of issues.” “Whether it be what we need to do in terms of housing and creating legislation that creates incentives for that,” she said. “What we need to do to reinstate the freedom of a woman to make decisions about her own body and not have her government tell her what to do.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “Whether it be what we need to do to actually invest in a substantial way in the industries of the future, in American-based manufacturing, in American-based industries where American workers and union workers have those jobs in a way that is good-paying jobs that gives people the dignity they deserve,” she continued. “All of those areas I plan on working across the aisle and with Congress, including the issue of immigration which we’ve got to fix.” WATCH: Kamala Harris was asked to name 1 thing she will try to get done as part of her legislative agenda She could not name anything. pic.twitter.com/greqPQTQNg — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October 24, 2024 Harris never answered the question and was subsequently criticized on CNN by Dana Bash for not answering. “But what will she do? The question about her legislative priorities,” Bash said. “Name one. There wasn’t one.” CNN’s Dana Bash on Kamala Harris’s lack of answers regarding her policies: “But what will she do?

Vice President Kamala Harris said during a CNN town hall on Wednesday night that the Biden-Harris administration did “the right thing” by allowing millions of illegal aliens to pour across America’s borders. The shocking admission came when host Anderson Cooper highlighted the numerous border initiatives that the administration failed to secure, including an immigration bill that they failed to pass when Democrats controlled the House and Senate during the administration’s first two years in office. At the start of this summer, the administration implemented an executive order that provided some alleviation to the crisis on the southern border. “Why didn’t your administration do that in 2022, 2023?” Cooper asked. “First of all, you’re exactly right, Anderson, and as of today, we have cut the flow of immigration by over half,” Harris claimed without acknowledging that a lot of the supposed reduction that has happened has come from illegal aliens claiming asylum through the administration’s CBP One app. “But if it was that easy with that executive action, why not do it 2022, 2023?? Cooper pressed. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “Because we were working with Congress and hoping that actually, we could have a long-term fix to the problem, instead of a short-term fix,” Harris claimed. Cooper again pressed Harris: “You couldn’t have done both at the same time?” Harris responded by claiming that Congress was really at fault for the administration’s border crisis. “Do you wish you’d done those executive orders in 2022, 2023?” Cooper asked. Harris responded: “I think we did the right thing.” WATCH: CNN’s Cooper presses Kamala on why she didn’t use an executive order to stop the illegal immigration crisis earlier She claims that it was because they wanted Congress to work He asks if she wishes they took action earlier, she says they did the right thing by not doing it pic.twitter.com/ZjOaJaW8rz — Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) October 24, 2024

This is the fourth in a series of articles from Alliance Defending Freedom on the state of free speech in America today. October 21 to 27 is National Free Speech Week. * * * “If it wasn’t for the information about Abortion Pill Reversal online, I would have completed the abortion and [my baby] would not be alive today.” Maranda Halstead’s baby was saved because of speech — information that told her about an option to save her baby’s life after she had taken, and regretted taking, the first abortion drug. But if blue-state attorneys general have their way, that life-saving speech will be censored, and mothers like Maranda will never know about abortion pill reversal. This week commemorates Free Speech Week, which gives us an opportunity to celebrate the freedoms we enjoy in the United States. Our ability to speak freely matters. And one of the most important ways we can use our speech is by speaking life to those around us. Unfortunately, some elected officials want to silence speech that offers women who have sought an abortion the chance to save their child’s life. In 2023, 63% of abortions were caused by abortion-inducing drugs. The abortion-by-drugs method involves taking two different drugs within a few days of each other. Some women regret taking the first drug (mifepristone) and investigate ways to halt its effects. Pro-life pregnancy centers seek to inform these women that it may be possible to counteract mifepristone’s effects. When taken shortly after the first drug, progesterone has been shown to potentially save the life of the child. Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone that has been used to support pregnancies for 50 years. Many women have used this method to try and reverse the effects of mifepristone, and studies and statistics suggest it has saved over 5,000 unborn babies at a 64-68% success rate. For as much as abortion activists harp on “choice,” they don’t show much respect for those women who change their minds to ultimately choose life. Several states have made moves to shut down the speech of pro-life pregnancy centers that offer women hope and resources should they choose to save the life of their baby. In 2023, Colorado enacted a law that prohibits doctors and nurses from offering women abortion pill reversal and assisting them in the process, making it professional misconduct to do so. For Chelsea Mynyk, a licensed nurse practitioner and certified midwife, helping women through unexpected pregnancies is a religious calling. Yet she received a letter from the Colorado State Board of Nursing notifying her that she is being investigated for a possible violation of the Nurse Practice Act all because of an anonymous complaint about her provision of abortion pill reversal. This put Chelsea in an impossible position — follow her convictions or leave women without life-saving care. Alliance Defending Freedom, where I serve as vice president of the Center for Life, intervened in a lawsuit filed by The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, on behalf of Chelsea. The court clarified that Chelsea was protected on religious liberty grounds. This meant that she may continue to help young women, like Mackenna, through the abortion pill reversal process. Mackenna recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl, who Mackenna “can’t imagine life without.” If Colorado had its way, Mackenna would never have known that Chelsea could help her choose life for her daughter. MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 This crackdown on choosing to save the life of a child is not limited to Colorado. In New York, a federal judge blocked Attorney General Letitia James from abusing her authority to censor pregnancy care centers’ speech about abortion pill reversal. The judge ruled the First Amendment protects the centers’ “right to speak freely about” abortion pill reversal and say it “is safe and effective for a pregnant woman to use, with her doctor, to reverse the effects of a first chemical abortion pill and, thereby, help to save the life of her unborn child.” In California, a pro-life pregnancy center and pregnancy center network represented by ADF recently sued Attorney General Rob Bonta for doing the same thing. Elsewhere, state politicians are filing agenda-driven investigations into pro-life pregnancy centers — not just for their promotion of abortion pill reversal. In Washington state, Attorney General Bob Ferguson closed his investigation into two faith-based, pro-life pregnancy centers after ADF sued his office for singling the pregnancy care centers out for their life affirming views. In New Jersey, Attorney General Matthew Platkin targeted First Choice Women’s Resource Centers with a burdensome subpoena because of their pro-life viewpoint. The federal courts are rightly skeptical of government attempts to censor speech. But that hasn’t prevented state officials from trying to squelch speech with which they disagree — even if that speech might allow women to save the life of their unborn child. While opponents of the sanctity of life keep looking for creative ways to silence their political opponents, ADF stands ready to advocate for life and our ability to speak about it.  * * * Erin Hawley is senior counsel and vice president of the Center for Life and regulatory practice with Alliance Defending Freedom (@ADFLegal).

A group of elderly performers has been astounding audiences with their spot-on impression of the Royal Air Force’s aerobatic team, the Red Arrows. What’s especially impressive about their act is that there are no airplanes involved! Instead, these entertainers use wheelbarrows to parody famous stunts that typically take place in the sky. Cleverly, they call themselves the Red Barrows! Social media user Lewis Lister caught some incredible footage of the elderly acrobats in action during an outdoor show. In his video, the Red Barrows performed amazing feats like jumping through flaming hoops with wheelbarrows in tow. Everyone was wearing the same bright red aviator outfits, complete with flowing white scarves and curling fake mustaches. @lewis_lister Meanwhile in Devon… #devonlife #bradninch #redarrows #aviation #aviationdaily #avgeek #airshow #royalairforce #tiktokaviation #devon #thiscountry @Red Arrows ♬ R.Wagner, “Ride of the Valkyries” from the opera�Die Walkuere�, (The Valkyrie) – AllMusicGallery One of the most hilarious moments in the video was when the group attempted a barrel roll. This stunt is usually pretty dramatic when executed by pilots, but the Red Barrows brought a certain levity to it. That’s probably because, instead of rolling airplanes over in mid-air, they were just rolling their bodies across the grass while holding onto their wheelbarrows! What makes the Red Barrows so special is that everyone clearly has lots of fun while performing these wheelbarrow feats. As the group wrote in their bio on X, they’re dedicated to making people smile and raising money for worthy causes. We couldn’t think of two better goals! These days, some may know the Red Barrows by a different name. Screengrab from TikTok Last year, the Red Barrows celebrated their 21st anniversary. We’re not sure when and where Lewis managed to catch one of their shows, especially since they don’t make very many public appearances anymore. According to the East Anglian Daily Times, many of the group’s members have instead formed a band called Reptile Dysfunction. They sure have a thing for punny names!
