ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel welcomed Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz to his Monday show for a softball interview about his life and to offer him an opportunity to promote Kamala Harris while bashing Donald Trump and JD Vance. A typical question Kimmel would ask was, “I do want to ask you about being the lunchroom supervisor. What does that entail? What are you watching for?” Walz would quip that it is “preparation for Congress” before recalling the time he had to give a kid the Heimlich maneuver, but Kimmel had more biographical softballs, “You were the football coach, you were the Gay-Straight Alliance counselor. I mean, this is, were you popular with the students?”     For his part, Walz claimed to be popular enough to be routinely picked to play Santa Claus, but at least everyone knew he was just pretending in that instance. All of the other times Walz pretended to be someone else escaped Kimmel’s scrutiny. In another school-related question, Kimmel wondered, “Would you go to the prom and watch and make sure the kids weren't touching each other too much?” Walz replied that he and his wife built the prom sets as he and Kimmel marveled at how he went from that to vice presidential nominee. Speaking of getting the VP nod, Kimmel asked, “Why didn't we know you? Like, how did you get picked? Do you know how it happened?” Republicans have criticized Walz for being a radical on plenty of things, from abortion to gender ideology to crime and public safety, but Walz tried to claim he’s called a radical because “we feed our kids breakfast and lunch at school.” As for Harris, Walz added, “She is amazing. She makes me laugh. And I think it's a good thing, by the way. I think a president should know how to laugh, not at someone, but laugh with things, or whatever, so, and I like that.”     Kimmel then brought up his Oscars-related feud with Trump, “This guy who used to be president is a little sore with me for a joke I made. That wouldn't bother you? You don't get bothered by people making fun, comedians on Saturday Night Live! or whatever?” Earlier in the show, Kimmel joked that, before their interview, Walz raked the leaves outside the studio. That is the kind of joke Walz gets, whereas Trump gets much nastier content, so Walz was easily able to say, “No, you started this. I taught school. The only thing, if you're going to do profanity, spell it correctly.” Later, Kimmel turned to the recent VP debate, “You also have, I think, a very unique perspective on the school shootings and this horrible gun violence that is happening in our schools. During the debate, JD Vance suggested that we have stronger windows and stronger doors. As a teacher, what do you think when you hear? And what can we do about that?” Walz got in on the old misrepresentation of a comment Vance made about the issue, “And their idea is to arm teachers. That is a very, very bad idea. Teachers are not like—don't want it. I just, like the vice president, I simply refuse to accept. Donald Trump tells us to get over it. JD Vance says, you know, ‘This is just a fact of life,’ or whatever. And we have to get to a point. I'm a hunter. I'm a veteran, pheasant season opens in Minnesota this week, I’m excited about that.”     Later still, after a game of “weird or not weird,” Kimmel wondered, “This has got to be weird. Bruce Springsteen made a lengthy video endorsing you on Friday. Did you know he was doing that?” Walz claimed he did not, but claimed ‘“The River’ and changed my life. It was a religious experience.” No liberal media interview with Walz can be complete without a discussion about food, as Kimmel wondered, “You are without a doubt the only vice presidential candidate in history for whom this would be an enticing way to raise funds… And people want your recipe. And have they been making your recipe?” Walz replied, “They have. We're raising money off that recipe. A hot dish, all the food groups, tater tots, cream of mushroom soup, a protein, cheese. Spam is the protein that wins it.” Here is a transcript for the October 7-taped show: ABC Jimmy Kimmel Live! 10/8/2024 12:00 AM ET JIMMY KIMMEL: I do want to ask you about being the lunchroom supervisor. What does that entail? What are you watching for? TIM WALZ: Well, it's preparation for Congress, first of all. But you're taking the tickets from the kids, and then you're just making sure that everything is okay. And this is no good deed goes unpunished. One of my first years in there I went over to the freshmen table and they're getting kind of loud and I’m like “Fellas, calm down,” I look over, a kid’s got milk coming out of his mouth, turning kind of blue, I looked down, half a Polish dog there, I realize he’s choking on the Polish dog, so I grab him and I wondered if it always worked and it does, I gave him the Heimlich and I pop the Polish dog across the room. I got lunchroom duty every year after that. That was what it was. KIMMEL: You were the football coach, you were the Gay-Straight Alliance counselor. I mean, this is, were you popular with the students? WALZ: I think so. I was-- they picked me to be Santa Claus. I think it was looks. So, I was Santa Claus every year. So, seems like okay. KIMMEL: Would you go to the prom and watch and make sure the kids weren't touching each other too much? WALZ: My wife and I built the proms. KIMMEL: What do you mean? WALZ: You have to build the set. So if it's, you know, under the sea or whatever, you build an undersea set. And we did a night in Paris, you build the Eiffel Tower. For me, my wife says "nothing in moderation." She says you couldn't just go vote and then you have to run for Congress and all this. So, we would build these elaborate proms and the sets together. KIMMEL: That's so crazy. Now you're in this position. I would imagine for your wife, this must be something that you guys look at each other from time to time and go how did this happen. WALZ: Yes. And she just shakes her head and says it's just the way it goes with us, I guess. We're both teachers. And you, just kind of throw yourselves into it. But I think Vice President Harris talks about this. It's the beauty of America. Truly, where could a girl from Oakland and middle class family, a single mom and a kid from Nebraska. And she says this to me. And look, we're running for president and vice president. It's something. That's America, though. … KIMMEL: Why didn't we know you? Like, how did you get picked? Do you know how it happened? WALZ: Well, I certainly said I never planned my life to be here. But I think my life prepared me well. I think the vice president was looking. I'm very proud of what we've done in Minnesota. I ran and won a congressional seat in a very red district for 12 years and then governor of Minnesota. I think people watched. And we're doing things. I know the Republicans say they're super radical. Yeah, we feed our kids breakfast and lunch at school. It's a radical idea. And so, I think she saw that, and I think the one thing, and it's kind of, as all of us know in life, some things just meant to be by fate or whatever and we get along really well. And she is amazing. She makes me laugh. And I think it's a good thing, by the way. I think a president should know how to laugh, not at someone, but laugh with things, or whatever, so, and I like that. KIMMEL: Yeah. Yeah – WALZ:  You might have thoughts on that. KIMMEL: This guy who used to be president is a little sore with me for a joke I made. That wouldn't bother you? You don't get bothered by people making fun, comedians on Saturday Night Live! or whatever? WALZ: No, you started this. I taught school. The only thing, if you're going to do profanity, spell it correctly, George. Write that on there, so— KIMMEL: I think your school experience, it's so interesting because, you know, life is so much like school. WALZ: Yes. KIMMEL: In so many ways. Even just talking about tickets from students at lunch. Some of the students probably didn't have tickets. WALZ: That's right. Every teacher who has done that job had another account where they just paid for them. That's just the way it worked, but we made the case in Minnesota why should we go through that? You don't have the kids come in and say “have you paid the heat bill at the school today” or “We just got new carpet, where’s your money for this?” or whatever, you go to school, take care of them and what we found is when you do school meals, guess what? More kids show up for school. They do better. You can't learn on an empty stomach and so— KIMMEL: You also have, I think, a very unique perspective on the school shootings and this horrible gun violence that is happening in our schools. During the debate, JD Vance suggested that we have stronger windows and stronger doors. As a teacher, what do you think when you hear? And what can we do about that? WALZ: And their idea is to arm teachers. That is a very, very bad idea. Teachers are not like — don't want it. I just, like the vice president, I simply refuse to accept. Donald Trump tells us to get over it. JD Vance says, you know, "this is just a fact of life," or whatever. And we have to get to a point. I'm a hunter. I'm a veteran, pheasant season opens in Minnesota this week, I’m excited about that. You can pass common sense things, not infringe on the Second Amendment, but our first responsibility is those kids and I think listening to them make these things up, try and tell you and then pivot to like it's a mental health issue, trying to demonize people who are trying to get mental health, at the same, they’re cutting the funding for mental health care, we don't have to live this way. And I brought up in there, and he batted it down, countries that have just as much gun ownership as us, but common sense things in place, their children don't get shot in schools. … KIMMEL: You know what? I have a little quiz for you. Help us decide what is weird and what is not weird. Weird or not weird. Families wearing matching pajamas at Christmas time. WALZ: Oh, not weird. KIMMEL: Not weird. Wearing a shirt in the pool, weird or not weird? WALZ: Not weird. KIMMEL: People who ask you to take your shoes off in the house, is that weird or not weird? WALZ: No, not weird either. KIMMEL: Tofurkey. WALZ: Oh, that's weird. KIMMEL: I'm going to skip to the last one. A 60-year-old man drinking Diet Mountain Dew. WALZ: That's just life right there. KIMMEL: This has got to be weird. Bruce Springsteen made a lengthy video endorsing you on Friday. Did you know he was doing that? WALZ: No, no. Those of you at 60-year-old, this is a high school kid who got “The River” and changed my life. It was a religious experience, Bruce Springsteen's “The River” and— KIMMEL: When you say a high school kid you mean this high school kid? Look at that corduroy suit. WALZ: No, didn't know it. To have Bruce say that and my daughter says “Bruce Springsteen knows your name” and that was the strangest thing. KIMMEL: That's pretty crazy. Have you not met Bruce, yet? WALZ: I have not met Bruce. KIMMEL: Jimmy: Were you married in high school? What's going on here? WALZ: That is a class ring. KIMMEL: Oh, all right. WALZ: Look at that hair, though. That's the thing I'm looking at. KIMMEL: Yeah, that hair is spectacular. You are without a doubt the only vice presidential candidate in history for whom this would be an enticing way to raise funds. WALZ: Oh, yeah. KIMMEL: And people want your recipe. And have they been making your recipe? WALZ: They have. We're raising money off that recipe. KIMMEL: I know that. WALZ: A hot dish, all the food groups, tater tots, cream of mushroom soup, a protein, cheese. Spam is the protein that wins it.

MSNBC freaked out over X owner Elon Musk’s potential impact on the 2024 race, ignoring a recent report that the biggest names in Big Tech massively favor Democrats. A new report by Fortune revealed that since 2020, Silicon Valley executives—who predominantly support Democrats—spent over $75 million more on campaign donations than Silicon Valley executives who predominately give to Republicans. Despite this disparity and the well-documented history of election interference on behalf of Democrats by platforms like Google, MSNBC anchor Ayman Mohyeldin chose to lash out over Musk’s endorsement of former President Donald Trump. During the Oct. 6 edition of Ayman, Mohyeldin belittled Big Tech censorship while he and his guests fretted over Musk’s impact.  “I am old enough to remember when Republicans were complaining and up in arms that tech bros or Big Tech companies and their leaders were the ones trying to help tip the scales for Democrats and ads on Facebook and Meta and all this,” Ayman claimed. He proceeded to go after Musk for supporting Republicans before saying that “it’s always projection with everybody people on the right, it seems.”  People on the right aren’t imagining the censorship or Big Tech’s leftist bias. According to Fortune, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt mostly donates to Democrats and gave at least $19,490,000.  Even worse, Google has interfered in American elections on behalf of its preferred candidates at least 41 times from 2008 through early 2024. For example, Google buried seven Republican Senate candidates’ campaign websites in 2022. Google has continued to do so since then, burying Trump’s campaign website as well as any election coverage by a source right of Lenin. Fortune also noted that Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, who gave at least $59,780,000 to political causes, predominantly supports Democrats. Meta has also famously interfered in elections on behalf of the Democratic Party, with CEO and Founder Mark Zuckerberg recently admitting that Facebook and Instagram wrongly censored the Hunter Biden laptop story and “COVID-19 content” in response to government pressure. Former Facebook CIO Sheryl Sandberg has given $1,500,000 and mostly donates to Democrats.  Other prominent Big Tech players mentioned in the Fortune article include people like Microsoft Founder Bill Gates ($1,690,000), his wife, Melinda Gates ($2,090,000), and LinkedIn Founder Reid Hoffman ($55,500,000) all of whom have left-leaning donation histories according to Fortune. Conservatives are under attack! Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.

Jason Nelson texted me the Sunday after Hurricane Helene destroyed homes and lives throughout the East Coast. Nelson is the CEO and co-founder of Prepper All-Naturals, marketed at PrepperBeef.com. He’s also a combat-disabled vet. As a Marine, he joined the civil affairs and psychological operations branch of the military, where he was assigned to humanitarian missions. 'The reason Western North Carolina is suffering right now is because they want them to. That's it.' “I leave tomorrow morning,” he wrote. “People are starving.” He offered to pick me up on the way. Sadly, I couldn’t join, but after Jason returned home, we spoke via video about his experience. Here’s the entire interview: Asheville or bust Nelson drove $60,000 worth of freeze-dried beef — about 7,000 portions — from Waco, Texas, setting off at 7:30 a.m. on Monday morning. He arrived in Asheville at 2:30 a.m. on Tuesday, only to be back on the road by 3:00 a.m. after dropping off the supplies. With the help of a volunteer who split the drive with him, Nelson made it back home by 11:30 p.m. that same day. Now, he's coordinating a range of services across Western North Carolina to ensure that aid reaches those who need it most. Cracks in the system Nelson has become a symbol of grassroots resilience, an advocate for food independence, and a man who backs up his beliefs with action. His recent trip to North Carolina highlights his commitment not just to his business but to the broader mission of ensuring that people have food, no matter the circumstances. Nelson saw the cracks in a system that many still take for granted — the globalized, centralized food chain. For him, the North Carolina mission wasn’t just about handing out food; it was a microcosm of the larger battle he’s been waging through his company, Prepper Beef. Nelson’s philosophy centers on localized supply chains, a concept that hits particularly close to home in disaster zones like those affected by Hurricane Helene. Jason has years of experience with on-the-ground humanitarian crises from every angle. I asked him how severe the damage from Hurricane Helene is and the resultant chaos compared to what he’s seen. “I mean, you'd be better off with a parking lot,” he told me. “You can work at a parking lot. That's it. I'd be better off in Afghanistan, where I've got to convince terrorists to come together and work together. Because the government cares about putting money into Afghanistan.” Long lines In the hurricane’s aftermath, people stood in long lines for basics — water, canned goods, and, in some cases, freeze-dried meals, including Nelson’s high-quality beef. Prepper All-Naturals, marketed at PrepperBeef.com, uses 100% Texas-born and -bred cattle. The aid may have come from multiple sources, but the message Nelson delivered to the people of North Carolina was clear: Localized food production isn’t just an economic model; it’s a lifeline. He added, “The reason Western North Carolina is suffering right now is because they want them to. That's it.” Supply chain risk Hurricane Helene’s path of destruction left thousands without power, running water, or food. Flooded highways and downed communication towers slowed aid, leaving many stranded. Working with local emergency responders, church groups, and community leaders, Nelson helped coordinate the distribution of essentials in towns that hadn’t seen relief in days. “It’s devastating,” Nelson told me, "but it’s also a reminder of how fragile our system is. It doesn’t take much — a storm, an outage — for everything to fall apart. And if we’re relying on food shipped in from halfway across the world, we’re putting ourselves at risk.” Nelson’s point is hard to argue with, especially when looking at the state of supply chains post-hurricane. With ports shut down and air transport delayed, imported goods were among the first to disappear from store shelves. Localize it What makes Nelson’s trip to North Carolina more than just another humanitarian mission is the depth of his conviction and his reasonable indignation. “There's so much to this, and it's a complex thing,” he told me. “It’s not that they are ill funded, ill trained. The national resources we could bring to bear have been instead brought to bear to serve communities that have welcomed illegal immigrants instead.” In Nelson’s eyes, the disaster response in North Carolina illustrates a larger societal issue. When a hurricane hits, people can’t rely on distant supply chains. They need food grown close to home, processed by businesses that understand local needs, and distributed without the bureaucratic hurdles that come with large-scale government aid programs. The hopeful success of his efforts in North Carolina underscores his belief that decentralized, localized supply chains are key to weathering future crises, be they natural disasters or man-made economic disruptions. Prepping for the future In North Carolina, Nelson’s donations weren’t just meals — they were a symbol of self-reliance. Families who had lost everything found comfort in the freeze-dried beef, not just because it provided nutrition but because it embodied the idea that Americans can still take care of their own. “We don’t need to rely on anyone else,” Nelson told me. “We have everything we need right here.” His trip to North Carolina solidified that belief. Seeing the devastation firsthand only reinforced his mission: to protect America’s food supply chain by keeping it local, sustainable, and out of the hands of global corporations and governments Food security For Nelson, local food systems are the only way forward. His experience in North Carolina, amid the wreckage of Hurricane Helene, served as both a warning and a lesson: If the country doesn’t start paying attention to where its food comes from, it might find itself helpless when the next disaster strikes. “I want you to think about supply chains,” he told me, “and how normal storehouses only have about two weeks' worth of supplies and they constantly depend on this resupply. Well, those are washed out. They're not just washed out. It's your primaries, your secondaries, your downstream supply chains.” Nelson’s trip to North Carolina was more than an act of charity. It was a rallying cry for the kind of change he believes will protect America’s future. As he loaded the last boxes of freeze-dried beef into the back of a relief truck, he must have thought: If we want to survive what’s coming, we need to start growing, processing, and consuming locally. Anything less is putting our freedom — and our lives — at risk. “Food security is the next target,” Nelson told me. “And when it’s gone, it won’t just be about what we eat — it’ll be about who we are as a nation.”

Kamala Harris sat down with Bill Whitaker of "60 Minutes" this week for another largely toothless interview with a sympathetic network. Although she was primarily served softball questions, Harris once again demonstrated why her campaign has sought to minimize her encounters with the press and public. Inside an hour, Harris claimed to have the same kind of firearm she has tried to ban; defended her abysmal record on the border; and talked around the question of whether democracy was best served by her making a mockery of it.Home defense for me but not for thee "You recently surprised people when you said that you are a gun owner, and that if someone came into your house —" said Whitaker. Harris interrupted, shaking her head and smiling: "That was not the first time I've talked about it. That's not the first time I've talked about it." 'Look, Bill, my background is in law enforcement, and, um, so there you go.' At her well-choreographed micro-rally hosted by Oprah Winfrey in Michigan last month, Harris attempted to paint herself as a supporter of the Second Amendment with the competence to shoot a home intruder. "I'm a gun owner, too," said Harris. "If someone breaks in my house, they're getting shot." "Some people have been pushing a real false choice — to suggest you're either in favor of the Second Amendment or you want to take everyone's guns away," Harris told Oprah. "I'm in favor of the Second Amendment, and I'm in favor of assault-weapons bans, universal background checks, red-flag laws." After Harris' interruption, Whitaker asked, "So what kind of gun do you own, and when and why did you get it?" Harris responded, "I have a Glock, and, um, I've had it for quite some time, and um, I mean — look, Bill, my background is in law enforcement, and, um, so there you go." "Have you ever fired it?" Whitaker asked. "Yes," Harris said, laughing. "Of course I have. At a shooting range. Yes. Of course I have." Blaze News previously reported that when serving as San Francisco's district attorney, Harris sponsored Proposition H — an ordinance that banned the manufacture, distribution, sale, and transfer of handguns in San Francisco. Law-abiding citizens would have been required to surrender their weapons without receiving compensation for doing so. Although the proposition passed, the National Rifle Association and others filed a legal challenge, holding up its enforcement long enough for a Republican-appointed judge to kill the ban in June 2006, indicating that it was "invalid as pre-empted by state law." The future Glock owner was undeterred and continued her crusade to disarm her fellow Americans. A year after threatening to storm the homes of law-abiding Americans for surprise gun inspections, Harris joined other leftist district attorneys in signing a 2008 amici curiae brief in the Second Amendment case D.C. v. Heller, claiming that a total handgun ban was constitutional. According to the brief bearing Harris' name, the Second Amendment does not secure an individual right but rather a "collective" or "militia-related" right. Defending failure In one of the confrontational moments in the interview, Whitaker said to Harris, "You recently visited the southern border and embraced President Biden's recent crackdown on asylum-seekers. And that crackdown produced an almost immediate and dramatic decrease in the number of border crossings. If that's the right answer now, why didn't your administration take those steps in 2021?" Harris, who failed as border czar to prevent tens of millions of illegal aliens from stealing into the United States and has been accused of covering up the rise in terrorism-linked migrants, rejected Whitaker's premise. 'But the numbers did quadruple under your ... under your watch.' The border czar once again suggested that the solution lies with Congress — despite President Donald Trump having provided evidence to the contrary — and touted the failed "bipartisan" border bill as a panacea, even though it would have been wholly ineffective against the illegal immigration crisis. Whitaker pushed back, noting that while the border crisis did not start with the Biden-Harris administration, she helped make it worse than ever before. "There was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration," said Whitaker. "As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did?" Harris dodged the question, claiming, "Solutions are at hand. And from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions." Shortly after taking power, the Biden-Harris administration halted the flow of government funds toward the construction of the border wall — which Harris previously campaigned against — and in subsequent months took additional steps to axe construction contracts. Extra to ending Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, the Biden-Harris administration has also challenged virtually every effort by Texas and other states to stem the flow of illegal aliens into the country and to oust criminal noncitizens. Whitaker tried one last time to see whether Harris would admit fault or regret, asking, "Was it a mistake to allow that flood to happen in the first place?" "I think the policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem, OK?" said Harris. "But the numbers did quadruple under your ... under your watch?" Whitaker struggled to say between interruptions. Harris claimed she cut the flow of illegal immigration by half, then doubled down on her previous suggestion that "we need Congress to be able to act to actually fix the problem." Sidestepping democracy for democracy "Was democracy best served by sidestepping the traditional primary process?" Whitaker asked Harris, referring to what some have called a "coup." Harris told the "60 Minutes" interviewer that she "earned" the delegates who were yanked from Biden as he was kicked to the curb. 'Everyone knows that there was no real primary this year.' Biden was ejected from the race after his disastrous debate with Trump in late June, even though he secured a sweeping majority of the 3,933 pledged delegates available during the primary process — delegates who in most cases were elected in primaries because they had pledged to vote for Biden. Inside 32 hours, Harris snatched up her boss' hard-won delegates because of a loophole in Rule 13J of the delegate selection rules. Not only were the Democratic primaries rendered utterly meaningless since Harris did not net a single primary vote, but she was spared from having to compete against other prospects in an open Democratic National Convention. Referring to the 2020 election, Trump said during a September town hall, "She ran against [Biden] in the primary. She got no votes, and she was the first to leave. ... He got 14 million votes [in 2024], and they threw him out." "It was really a coup when you think about it," continued Trump. "And the woman who came in last, the person who came in last [became the nominee]." Even leftist publications acknowledged that Harris was "an Undemocratic Candidate." Slate, for instance, noted that "everyone knows that there was no real primary this year. Democratic voters did not have a chance to say at the ballot box who their ideal nominee in 2024 should be. It's the first time since 1968 that delegates rather than voters decided the candidate." Harris told Whitaker, "I am proud to have earned the support of the vast majority of delegates and to have been elected the Democratic nominee." Extra to putting a gloss over how she came to become the Democratic candidate, Harris suggested she is now a champion for democracy. "I am honored to have received the endorsement of leaders around this country from every background and walk of life, to fight in this election over the next month for our democracy," said the vice president.
