In a week punctuated by disastrous interviews, Kamala Harris' interview with Bill Whitaker of CBS News' "60 Minutes" was perhaps her greatest train wreck. It turns out that the full and unedited version of the vice president's conversation with Bill Whitaker was actually far worse than what the sympathetic network ultimately decided to air Monday evening. President Donald Trump's campaign has demanded that "60 Minutes" release the unedited transcript of the interview, suggesting that CBS News is covering up the Democratic presidential candidate's latest blunder. Keen observers were quick to notice something amiss about the interview, namely that it was heavily edited. These edits appear to serve a singular objective: spare Harris, who is notorious for her word salads, yet another embarrassment and help her come across as coherent. Critics noted a major difference between Harris' response shown in a preview of the interview and the one presented in the final. 'The word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala's idiotic response.' In one preview, Whitaker asked Harris whether America lacks influence over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his strategic decisions in the Middle East, prompting a meandering response from the vice president. Whitaker then states, "It seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is not listening," to which Harris replies: Well, Bill, 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. Harris' word salad was replaced in the final so that it would appear as if she responded by saying: We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for the United States to be clear about where we stand on the need for this war to end. The Orwellian revision is also reflected in the official transcript of the interview on CBS News' page. Karoline Leavitt, press secretary for the Trump campaign, said in a statement Tuesday, "On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala's highly-anticipated sit-down interview with one of her worst word salads to date, which received significant criticism on social media. During the full interview on Monday evening, the word salad was deceptively edited to lessen Kamala's idiotic response." 'It is the very definition of FAKE NEWS!' "Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala's full word salad, and what else did they choose not to air?" asked Leavitt. "The American people deserve the full, unedited transcript from Kamala's sit-down review. We call upon 60 Minutes and CBS to release it. What do they and Kamala, have to hide?" CBS News did not respond to Blaze Media's request for comment. Absent a meaningful response from the liberal news network, President Donald Trump wrote Wednesday morning, "I've never seen this before, but the producers of 60 Minutes sliced and diced ('cut and pasted') Lyin' Kamala's answers to questions, which were virtually incoherent, over and over again, some by as many as four times in a single sentence or thought, all in an effort, possibly illegal as part of the 'News Division,' which must be licensed, to make her look 'more Presidential,' or a least, better. It may also be a major Campaign Finance Violation." Trump has previously suggested that propaganda networks should have the licenses for their individual broadcast stations revoked by the Federal Communications Commission. "This is a stain on the reputation of 60 Minutes that is not recoverable," continued Trump. "It will always remain with this once storied brand. I have never heard of such a thing being done in 'News.' It is the very definition of FAKE NEWS! The public is owed a MAJOR AND IMMEDIATE APOLOGY! This is an open and shut case, and must be investigated, starting today!" Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller noted, "As uniquely disastrous as Kamala's 60 minutes flaming train wreck of an interview is, remember that this is the *most* favorable edit the CBS partisans could make for her." Donald Trump Jr. tweeted, "Everyone has seen the clipped version of Kamala Harris' on 60 minutes and it's a catastrophe. Imagine how bad the actual interview was before they edited and cut the hell out of as only today's media would!!! We saw the best of the best and it was a disaster!" CBS News failed to edit out Harris' claim that she owns the same kind of firearm she has tried to ban as well as Harris' defense of her abysmal record on the border. The final interview also includes Harris' desperate on-camera attempt to talk around the question of whether democracy was best served by her making a mockery of it. Like Blaze News?

UFC No. 1 contender Sean Strickland delivered harsh comments toward Chechnya-born UFC fighter Khamzat Chimaev.Strickland has typically been an open book in terms of his political views and opinions throughout his career, which have included derogatory statements and claims about Chimaev.Chimaev, on the other hand, has seemingly enjoyed playing the bad guy role and at times riled up the crowd with his antics."I'm the most dangerous guy here, I'm coming for everyone, I kill everybody! Allahu Akbar!" Chimaev told Joe Rogan in a post-fight interview at UFC 279 in 2022.'You should not be allowed in this country. You [sold] your soul to a terrorist dictator.'In a recent Instagram post, Strickland lashed out at Chimaev and questioned whether or not he should be allowed in the United States due to his apparent ties to unsavory figures."I love how the world just over looks this guys past... Builds a life in Sweden, goes and becomes best friends with an absolute monster who pretty much bought him like a W.. then when the leash got too tight he fled to the middle east," Strickland said, per BJPenn.com."You should not be allowed in this country. You [sold] your soul to a terrorist dictator... You are not compatible with America. Thank god we don't do drone trikes in that part of the sand pit," the middleweight continued. "Sick of the UFC forgetting it's an American company," Strickland added.Strickland is perhaps making reference to Chimaev's relationship with Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who has received sanctions from the United States over the years for alleged human rights violations.In 2020, the State Department prohibited Kadyrov, his wife, and his two daughters from traveling to the United States.Kadyrov, a supporter of the region's MMA athletes, has written about his conversations with Chimaev about the sport and at times seemed like he was dictating his moves."During our conversation, Chimaev realized how important his career is for every Chechen and promised to make every effort to recover as soon as possible," Kadyrov wrote in 2021. "In the near future he will fly to the republic, where he will complete a rehabilitation course, hold a training camp and start training."In a separate statement on Instagram, Strickland also said, "Lmao 'now buy a crypto scam with my name on it.'"This was in reference to an ordeal in July in which Chimaev was accused of a cryptocurrency pump-and-dump scheme with a coin called Smash. Chimaev's manager denied any connection to the coin after accusations started surfacing, despite Chimaev making a video to promote it. Following the manager's statements, a man claiming to be involved in the crypto team for the Smash coin said he never spoke directly to Chimaev while admitting his team owned 80% of the coin's supply.Strickland said at the time he has received similar offers that he turned down."I've been offered a ton of money to do this same exact thing...... Crazy man you're rich and still try to scam your fans," he wrote. "That was 100 percent to scam his fans."Like Blaze News?

Josh Hawley: Whistleblower Claims Secret Service Hiding Info About Trump Not Getting Max Protection

Image: Nintendo Nintendo just announced its new Alarmo clock with a motion sensor, and even though we’re still soaking in the $100 device, the company also shared a look at some interesting early prototypes that reveal how the project changed during its development. While the Alarmo is round and an eye-catching red, one “early” prototype Nintendo showed in an “Ask the Developer” interview had a more boxy shape and came in gray. This prototype did have an interesting feature in its dot matrix LED display (similar to the now-discontinued Echo Dot with Clock), but Nintendo ultimately went in a different direction because “we felt that this display system wouldn’t be able to communicate the instructions sufficiently,” says Nintendo’s Yosuke Tamori, who...

I upgraded my Apple Watch SE 2 to an Apple Watch Series 10 as soon as it was released. I wanted better battery life for my marathon races, as the battery health on my Apple Watch SE 2 had dropped below 80%. After two years of use, I was now charging the SE 2 twice a day. But if improved battery health is all I wanted from the Apple Watch, I could have simply had my battery replaced or just bought a brand new Apple Watch SE 2. The thing is, I wanted the Apple Watch Series 10's improved health-tracking capabilities, too. As I get older, I want to collect more data points about my health, and the Series models will always have better tracking abilities than the SE. After nearly two weeks of wearing the Apple Watch Series 10, I encountered an unexpected problem. The wearable wasn't tracking my wrist temperature. It turns out I'm probably doing something wrong, and I think I know how to fix it. If you've experienced the same issue with your Apple Watch, follow this guide to fix it. Continue reading...
