Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced the development of two autonomous vehicles Thursday night in California, hailing the vehicles as the future of transportation. During an event called “We, Robot” in Burbank, Musk said that his company would be rolling out the “Robotaxi” or “Cybercab” and the “Robovan,” both of which would be fully autonomous vehicles. The Robotaxi will be a smaller vehicle with no pedals or steering wheel while the Robovan will be designed for public transportation or movement of goods. “We’ll move from supervised Full Self-Driving to unsupervised Full Self-Driving, where you can fall asleep and wake up at your destination,” said Musk, who arrived at the event in a Robovan. “It’s going to be a glorious future.” Robotaxi & Robovan pic.twitter.com/pI2neyJBSL — Tesla (@Tesla) October 11, 2024 Musk said that he had brought 50 fully autonomous vehicles to the event, which also highlighted his Tesla bot “Optimus,” which will be humanoid robots designed to help people with household chores and errands. When available for the public, the Robotaxi would cost customers around $30,000, according to Musk, who said he hopes to start producing them by 2027, CNBC reported. Musk said that the Robovan, which is still in development, would be able to hold up to 20 people. “Now can you imagine going down the street and you see this coming toward you? That’d be sick,” he said. “This can carry up to 20 people and it can also transport goods so you can configure it for goods transport within a city or transport of up to 20 people at a time.” Musk said he believed that the Robovan would increase safety and solve problems with heavy traffic in densely populated areas. “The Robovan is what is going to solve for high density,” he said. “So if you want to take a sports team somewhere or you’re looking to really get the cost of travel down to five, 10 cents a mile, then you can use the Robovan.” Musk said the products were part of his overall vision for innovation and technological advancement. “One of the things we want to do, and you’ve seen this with the Cybertruck, is we want to change the look of the roads,” he added. “The future should look like the future.”

Former CBS News staffers are calling for the network to launch an independent investigation into “60 Minutes” after the left-wing news program deceptively edited remarks made by Vice President Kamala Harris in an interview. “I think there should be an outside investigation,” one former CBS News journalist told the New York Post this week. “Obviously, there’s a problem here. If they care about journalistic integrity, they would conduct an investigation or release the full transcript.” They said the fact that Harris’ two responses to the same question were “so different” made it imperative that the network be transparent and release the entire interview. A source inside the organization told the newspaper that the way it edited Harris’ response was “biased.” “Their credibility has been called into question and their impartiality has been called into question,” the source said. “Don’t you need a full-throated review of what went wrong?” “The stakes are too high,” they added. “It’s a presidential election. Trump is asking for the transcript and journalists are asking for answers.” The controversy happened when host Bill Whitaker was discussing with Harris the United States’ financial support for Israel in its war against genocidal Islamic terrorists in the region. “But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening,” Whitaker said to Harris. In a promotional clip that was posted by CBS News on Sunday, Harris responded to that statement from Whitaker by saying: “The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.” However, when the full interview was published by the network on Monday night, that statement from Harris was nowhere to be found. Those words were not included anywhere in the television broadcast, nor did they appear in the interview when it was posted on YouTube, the interview’s transcript, or the show’s “Overtime” segment. Instead, on television and in the interview posted online, Whitaker’s identical statement that “it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening” is followed by Harris saying: “We are not gonna stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end.”

Former President Donald Trump will appear at a Fox News town hall next week with an all-female audience. In a statement on Friday, Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner talked about moderating the town hall and said she looked forward to giving viewers more information about where Trump stands on a host of issues, The Hill reported. “Women constitute the largest group of registered and active voters in the United States, so it is paramount that female voters understand where the presidential candidates stand on the issues that matter to them most,” Faulkner’s statement read. “I am looking forward to providing our viewers with an opportunity to learn more about where former President Trump stands on these topics,” she added. Former President Trump to attend Fox News town hall with all-female audience https://t.co/hdOCtOaYLx — The Hill (@thehill) October 11, 2024 On the “Faulkner Focus,” Faulkner talked about the town hall and said that it’s essential that “voters understand where these presidential candidates stand on the issues, which they say matters most to them.” The Fox News anchor said the issues they will discuss will include the economy, abortion, immigration, health care, daycare, childcare, and more. “Members of the audience will put their questions to former President Trump…” Faulkner said. The town hall will be taped on Tuesday, October 15, in Cumming, Georgia, and will air the next day in the morning on the Fox News network, The Hill noted. The news outlet said it has also extended an invite to Vice President Kamala Harris for a similar town hall. No word at the time of this publication if she has accepted. On Wednesday, Fox News Media announced that it has offered the presidential candidates a chance to debate in Pennsylvania on either Thursday, October 24, or Sunday, October 27. The news channel said that Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate the debate. Neither campaign has agreed publicly to either dates so far. Harris did not agree to debate Trump on Fox News on September 4. The September 4 debate was initially scheduled to take place between Trump and President Joe Biden on ABC until Biden dropped out of the race following his disastrous debate against Trump on June 27. Two days after Trump and Harris met for the first time on the debate stage, the Republican nominee said he would not debate Harris again. Zach Jewell contributed to this piece.

A pro-life political action committee launched a six-figure ad campaign on Friday that will highlight Vice President Kamala Harris’ radical abortion record in eight battleground states. The Women Speak Out PAC, a partner of SBA Pro-Life America, announced $2 million on a digital ad campaign in Arizona, Georgia, Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Ohio targeting Harris. The ads come as Harris and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz have focused much of their campaign on promoting abortion. “Through this campaign, we are investing 2 million dollars in eight key battleground states across the nation to expose the truth of the Democrats’ pro-abortion extremism and educate persuadable voters about what’s at stake in this election,” SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser told The Daily Wire. “By November, we will reach 10 million voters overall – including four million visits to their homes to speak with voters face-to-face.” SBA Pro-Life America and its affiliates plan to spend some $92 million in total for the 2024 election cycle. “Kamala Harris is so focused on abortion that she is blind to everything else, including the real needs of women and the humanity of the unborn children,” Dannenfelser said. “She refuses to name a single limit on abortion, even in the seventh, eighth, and ninth months of pregnancy. Harris promises to federally force taxpayers to fund all-trimester abortions and cheers on politicians who shut down pregnancy centers that offer real choices and resources for women.” “Most Americans have reasonable views on abortion. Kamala Harris goes too far. Most Americans support parental notification. Kamala led the charge against it. Most Americans oppose taxpayers funding abortions in foreign countries. Kamala is for it,” a narrator in one of the digital ads says. Harris announced last month that she would be in favor of ending the filibuster, which requires 60 votes to advance most legislation, in order to pass a law creating a national right to an abortion. A second ad focuses on Toni McFadden, a black woman from Pennsylvania who had an abortion in high school. “Chris and I have built a loving family, but part of us is missing forever,” Toni says in the ad. “We got pregnant in high school. I was terrified. Planned Parenthood handed me drugs and sent me home. A month later, I started hemorrhaging. Vice President Harris, you call this freedom? Pushing abortions in the black community? If black lives really mattered, help moms and babies.” Abortion is also on the ballot this year in multiple states, including in states like Florida and Missouri, where leftist activists hope to enshrine abortion into state constitutions.

On the latest episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast,” President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris learn the consequences of a failed coup. When you shiv your boss in the back only half-way, leaving him a vegetable in the Oval Office, but in the office all the same, you run the risk of his anger and bitterness at betrayal coming back to haunt you. Not only is the nation learning about the cost of the Oval Office coup, but of a similar power struggle between hyper-progressives, far-left activists against Israel, and the more moderate, corporate Democrats of old. This cost of picking Minnesota governor and far-leftist Tim Walz over the more moderate Pennsylvania governor, Josh Shapiro, may be just as high as the Oval Office coup. We sit down with Mandy Gunasekara, former chief of staff for the Environmental Protection Agency, to discuss a bevy of issues, including pollution policy, climate change, Bill Nye, and midwestern rivers.

Doug Emhoff is a lawyer, so it matters when he is asked about the allegation in the Daily Mail that he viciously slapped a girlfriend at the  Cannes Film Festival in 2012 by calling it a "distraction" and not denying it. In the last hour of Morning Joe on Friday, they played a preview of a patty-cake interview Joe Scarborough gave to Emhoff in Georgia, and it started off with Emhoff talking like a tough guy about his his wife kicked Trump's ass in their debate.  SCARBOROUGH: You talked about the debate. Why do you think Donald Trump won’t debate her again? EMHOFF: Well, you saw the first debate, didn’t you? SCARBOROUGH: Yeah, yeah. EMHOFF: Yeah. That’s why. He got his ass kicked. And so he’s afraid that that’s going to happen again. Rather he’s spreading this fog, this fog of misinformation and disinformation and gaslighting rather than face her again. That was the opening for Scarborough to lump in the domestic-violence allegations as part of the fake-news "fog." Scarborough said Trump is spreading “tabloid stories about your personal life, saying -- this should be front and center. He's saying it about your wife and making incredibly crude and lewd suggestions about her past life.” This is pretty funny stuff after CNN and MSNBC gave porn star Stormy Daniels and her lawyer Michael Avenatti about 200 interviews. This was then Joe's question, of sorts: “I'm just curious. I know I'm like a very Zen, mindful person [Emhoff smiles at the sarcasm], but I think I'd be pissed off. I'm just wondering... How do you all stay centered? How do you stay disciplined and not really go off and not really push back hard at these things?” So it’s not asking Emhoff if he battered a woman. Instead, it’s how do you put up with this obvious malarkey?   Emhoff then gave the lawyerly non-denial denial: "We don’t have time to be pissed off. We don't have time to focus on it. It's all a distraction. It's designed to try to get us off our game.” Scarborough nudged: Does it get you off your game?” Emhoff said: “No. All we're doing, all we talk about is this election. We understand the stakes. We understand the responsibility.” An unnamed representative for Emhoff told the website Semafor "Any suggestion that he would or has ever hit a woman is false," which Emhoff certainly could have said. If he was truly upset by the allegation, he could have angrily denied it. Apparently, calling it a "distraction" is code to journalists to not ask whether the allegation is true or false, because investigating it helps Trump. This is how the bias-by-omission game is played.
