Megyn Kelly, Clay Travis, and others reacted on Wednesday to Vice President Kamala Harris‘ surprise press conference to talk about the hit piece on former President Donald Trump in The Atlantic. The White House notified members of the press that Harris would be speaking from the Vice President’s residence at the Naval Observatory. During the 15 minute speech, the VP compared Trump to “Hitler” and attacked the former president for a since-rebuked story about a slain U.S. soldier. “Their closing message is all about Trump and Hitler (all recycled),” the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast wrote on X. “Can you imagine how alarming their internal polls are?” Ezra Cohen compared Harris’ move to the “Classic DC swamp playbook. Plant a fake story with a captured journalist/media outlet, then cite the fake story in a political attack. Similar to the fabricated Steele dossier story.” The host of “The Jesse Kelly Show” wrote, “The Harris campaign has a billion dollars, an army of consultants, months to work on a plan, and the October surprise was the same ‘Trump is Hitler!’ drivel we’ve been hearing since he came down the escalator in 2015. This campaign ain’t gonna make it.” Daily Wire Editor Emeritus and podcast host Ben Shapiro pointed out the actions of President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ administration. “Hey, come to think of it, somebody should ask Kamala Harris why she wants to slow-walk aide to the Jews who want to fight people who literally agree with Hitler (Hamas and Hezbollah and Iranian government)?” Shapiro wrote. “Oh, she took no questions and walked away.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Outkick’s Clay Travis told his followers that “Kamala just called a press conference to call Trump Hitler. This is all they have. She’s going to lose the popular vote. Keep early voting. The panic is palpable. She’s cooked.” Monica Crowley said, “Kamala Harris out here smearing President Trump with grotesque lies. This is real desperation. She is flailing.” Joe Concha took to social media and said, “The D nominee shares disputed story written by author with a horrible reputation. Said story is rebuked by several sources. She says nothing about her own plans for the country or current record, and proceeds to walk away without taking any questions. Yep- total game changer.” The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway and others suggested Harris’ comments were some kind of “assassination prep” to get Trump killed. “Very terrifying language laying the groundwork for more left-wing violence coming from Kamala Harris on the grounds of the Naval Observatory right now,” Hemingway wrote. “She now ramps up the assassination prep — calling the man who has already survived two assassination attempts a ‘fascist.’” Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk wrote on X, “Kamala Harris instantly seizes upon an already DEBUNKED hoax from the Atlantic and weaponizes it to attack Donald Trump: ‘Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler, the man who is responsible for the death of six million Jews.’ They’re going to get Trump killed. Pray.” Trump’s Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung released a statement about Harris’ comments labeling her “a stone-cold loser who is increasingly desperate because she is flailing, and her campaign is in shambles.” “That is why she continues to peddle outright lies and falsehoods that are easily disproven,” Cheung said in a statement. “The fact is that Kamala’s dangerous rhetoric is directly to blame for the multiple assassination attempts against President Trump and she continues to stoke the flames of violence all in the name of politics. She is despicable and her grotesque behavior proves she is wholly unfit for office.”

A hit piece published Tuesday in The Atlantic featured a claim from former President Donald Trump’s chief of staff John Kelly that Trump had praised Adolf Hitler’s generals. The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg highlighted Kelly’s claims, which he alleges happened more than four years ago. It’s a recycled claim from a 2022 book by New York Times reporter Peter Baker and New Yorker reporter Susan Glasser, titled “The Divider: Trump in the White House.” The pair wrote in the book that Trump had asked Kelly, “Why can’t you be like the German generals?” The Atlantic hit piece also included a smear from unnamed sources that has been dismissed by on-the-record sources present at the meeting in question, as The Daily Wire reported. Readers may also recognize Glasser’s name from her New Yorker article falsely claiming Trump made up a story about Vice President Kamala Harris supporting sex changes for illegal immigrants in prison. Yes, Harris said she thinks the government should fund them. But back to John Kelly. Kelly has a history of smearing Trump, like many former aides looking to continue their careers. He rebuked Trump for firing Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who leaked a private phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and gained hero status among the Left. Kelly also attempted to recruit others to defy Trump when he was president, The Daily Wire previously reported. Kelly allegedly tried to recruit then-United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley to his group, saying he was doing it to “save the country.” When Trump fired Kelly, the former four-star general was singing a different tune – defending Trump and saying he consulted multiple sources for information before making a decision. Kelly also believed the false allegations of domestic abuse against former White House staff secretary Rob Porter. Kelly initially defended Porter, but then called claims from Porter’s ex-wife as “new allegations” and denounced domestic violence. Kelly, however, had access to Porter’s background file, and should have known of the dubious nature of the incident and the true story behind photos claiming Porter had punched his ex-wife. In reality, Porter took the photos (his ex-wife initially claimed she had taken the photos herself) to document the bruise due to her taking prescription Accutane and other skincare treatments. The ex-wife didn’t say anything about the alleged incident shortly after she and Porter divorced and Porter received his first security clearance in 2008. The allegation only came up after Trump was elected and Porter’s ex-wife became politically active for Democrats. Even then, whatever she told the FBI during Porter’s background investigation couldn’t have lined up with what she told the tabloids, because no issues were flagged with Porter’s security clearance. And then there’s the allegation that Kelly once shoved Trump’s daughter Ivanka in the West Wing. The allegation was made in Jared Kushner’s memoir, where he wrote Kelly had a “Jekyll and Hyde” personality. Kushner wrote that Kelly was angry with Trump one day and shoved Ivanka out of his way when she said “hello.” Kushner said Kelly later apologized to Ivanka. Ivanka confirmed the report and her former chief of staff confirmed the apology, though Kelly denies either event took place. “It is inconceivable that I would EVER shove a woman. Inconceivable. Never happen,” Kelly told The Washington Post. “Would never intentionally do something like that. Also, don’t remember ever apologizing to her for something I didn’t do. I’d remember that.” But Kelly expects people to believe that, just weeks before a presidential election, he remembered a damaging conversation with Trump from more than four years ago.

North Korean troops have deployed to Russia and may join the fight against Ukraine, U.S. officials said Wednesday. The confirmation from U.S. officials came after South Korea and Ukraine in recent days have expressed alarm at the North Korea troop movements. South Korean lawmakers have said that 3,000 North Korean troops have left to Russia so far, and another 7,000 are expected to go, according to NBC News. “We assess that between early- to mid-October, North Korea moved at least 3,000 soldiers into eastern Russia,” National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said, according to CNN. “We assess that these soldiers traveled by ship from the Wonsan area in North Korea to Vladivostok, Russia. … We do not yet know whether these soldiers will enter into combat alongside the Russian military, but this is certainly a highly concerning probability. After completing training, these soldiers could travel to western Russia and then engage in combat against the Ukrainian military.” Kirby’s comments followed an initial confirmation of U.S. intelligence from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who spoke to reporters in Rome on Wednesday. “We are seeing evidence that there are North Korean troops that have gone to Russia,” Austin said. “What, exactly, they’re doing is left to be seen.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 If North Korea joins the war in Ukraine, the consequences could be severe and widespread, the Defense secretary said. “If they’re a co-belligerent, their intention is to participate in this war on Russia’s behalf, that is a very, very serious issue, and it will have impacts not only on in Europe, it will also impact things in the Indo Pacific as well,” he said. The troop movements have caused unease within NATO, which has begun discussions on how the alliance will respond should North Korea join the war, according to a spokeswoman. “Allies have confirmed evidence of a DPRK troop deployment to Russia. If these troops are destined to fight in Ukraine, it would mark a significant escalation in North Korea’s support for Russia’s illegal war and yet another sign of Russia’s significant losses on the front lines,” NATO spokeswoman Farah Dakhlallah told Politico Europe in a statement. “We are actively consulting within the Alliance on this matter, and the North Atlantic Council will receive a briefing from the Republic of Korea and further discuss this matter soon,” she added. North Korea and Russia have strengthened their ties in recent years. In June, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed an agreement to provide “mutual assistance in the event of aggression against one of the participants.”

A United Airlines pilot faces legal repercussions after unintentionally carrying a stun gun while traveling through Edinburgh Airport. Pilot Caught with Illegal Weapon at Airport Ryan Cecil, a veteran United Airlines pilot, faced legal trouble when security at Edinburgh Airport discovered a stun gun hidden in his luggage. Cecil, 56, was unaware that the device, though legal in many US states, was illegal in Scotland. Attempting to board a flight to New York, Cecil believed the item was a torch. It was only during a security check that the truth emerged, resulting in police involvement and his subsequent detainment. Cecil spent two nights in custody before being released on bail, much of which was consumed with resolving the confusion. His lawyer emphasized that Cecil had no knowledge of the stun gun, reflecting the incident as gross carelessness rather than malicious intent. Despite these claims, Cecil pled guilty to possessing a prohibited weapon, thereby avoiding a potential prison sentence in favor of a hefty fine. American airline pilot caught with 'high voltage' stun gun at Edinburgh Airport https://t.co/Fu6An3FIUv — The Scotsman (@TheScotsman) October 22, 2024 Professional History Shielded Harsh Penalty The court considered Cecil’s long-standing career as a pilot and his unblemished military history. Cecil’s dedication and contributions to aviation seemed to tip the scales in his favor, as the Scottish court opted for a fine rather than imprisonment. Sheriff Charles Walls stated, “This is a very serious offence and ignorance of the laws of Scotland or in any country is not an excuse.” “He was completely unaware it was in his bag. That bag went through security checks and went undetected and he spent two nights in Edinburgh before planning on flying back.” Given Cecil’s past military service and 23-year tenure as a commercial pilot, the airline decided to retain him. United Airlines recognized the incident as an isolated mistake, especially given that Cecil shows sincere regret and responsibility for the oversight. United Airlines Flight From Edinburgh is Grounded After Pilot is Arrested By Scottish Police When Stun Gun is Found in His Carry-On https://t.co/8NZI8s30gi via @yourownkanoo pic.twitter.com/VqEwnT0tnO — BoardingArea (@BoardingArea) January 20, 2024 Global Perspectives on Stun Guns While stun guns are often overlooked or deemed non-lethal in certain regions of the United States, other countries like Scotland maintain stringent laws prohibiting them. The incident involving Cecil implicitly underscores the complexities of international laws. It highlights the importance of awareness for travelers and government enforcement agencies collaborating to mitigate similar issues. As aviation continues to grow, incidents like these remind us of the intricacies involved in international travel and the critical need for stringent adherence to local laws. For professionals like pilots, possessing comprehensive knowledge of such rules becomes even more paramount to ensuring safety and compliance. Sources: Pilot grounded for carrying stun gun on plane.
