Conservative host forced to apologize after he's checked on mispronouncing Kamala Harris

A conservative British network host was forced to apologize after being corrected for repeatedly mispronouncing Vice President Kamala Harris' name even after being told the proper pronunciation. It's something Donald Trump also does.

Martin Daubney, a former Brexit Party Member of the European Parliament who then turned to the right-wing Reclaim Party, now hosts a show on weekday afternoons about news and politics. On Friday, he invited an American former congressional candidate, Democrat Qasim Rashid, a long-time human rights lawyer.

'He's a complete joke': MSNBC analyst flips out over Trump's latest 'crazy' flip flop

Speaking with host José Díaz-Balart on Friday afternoon, a visibly frustrated Alexi McCammond launched into a scorching rant about Donald Trump's ever-shifting positions on abortion, calling his latest stance "crazy."

McCammond who serves as an MSNBC analyst in addition to her duties with Washington Post, told the panel that she sees no reason why anyone should take the former president at his word.

She began by praising NBC's Dasha Burns for cornering the former president about a 6-week ban in his home state of Florida which led the former president to state, “I think the six week is too short. It has to be more time. I told them that I want more weeks. I am going to be voting that we need more than six weeks."

That led the normally placid McCammond to complain, "I mean it's crazy. Kudos to Dasha for getting him on the record saying something that is as crazy as the most extreme positions he has taken on women and reproductive rights."

"I mean talk talk about a political flip-flop-flop!" she continued. "He thinks it is suddenly politically expedient to support women and our reproductive rights. He thinks it's suddenly politically expedient to say he'll protect women if he's re-elected — he'll pay for IVF treatments when his running mate is, you know, dumping on women who don't have their own biological children, when Republicans in the mold of his party have become so extreme that they are coming after birth control, Mifepristone, IVF, splitting hairs on different procedures that women and families need to take in desperate times to save lives to be able to even have a family."

GOP strategist follows J.D. Vance on CNN and trashes his 'disaster' interview as 'weak'

Moments after Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance concluded his widely-panned ("A wonderful disaster") interview on CNN on Friday morning, a GOP strategist appeared with host John Berman and joined the pile-on.

Vance's interview which found him returning to the cost of groceries no matter the question, ended with him defending Donald Trump for posting vulgar and sexist memes on his Truth Social account as well as his reposting a video that once drove the teen subject appearing in it to contemplate taking her own life.

According to Donald Trump's running mate, it was all done in the spirit of "fun."

After Vance was off the air, he pressed Republican Party strategist Rina Shah, formerly the spokesperson for NextGenGOP, on how the GOP's VP candidate performed when asked about Vice President Kamala Harris' Thursday night CNN interview.

After praising the Harris interview as "concise," Shah told the host, "I made a couple of notes here listening Senator Vance. I found his response to her interview last night to be quite weak. And if I was advising him, which I'm not, would say it's bad of them to keep talking reproductive care and access, that's a losing issue for them."

"Look, women are not a monolith," she continued. "We care about the economy too and that's what I heard Kamala Harris talk about last night. She sounded more like a Republican to me in some ways, talking about tax credits for families, children, talking about tax credit for small businesses, talking manufacturing, talking about having a clean driving energy policy that does not ban fracking, basically making us independent of foreign sources for oil. I loved all that because that was what I heard from the Republican Party right before Donald Trump came in."

'Frightened' Trump's IVF for all proposal brutally skewered by analyst on Morning Joe

Reacting to Donald Trump's latest position on abortion and his out-of-the-blue proposals to either have the government pay for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments or force insurance companies to pay for them, a political analyst on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" ridiculed his motivations.

In a clip shared on Friday morning, Trump was seen stating, "I'm announcing today in a major statement that under the Trump administration, your government will pay for or your insurance company will be mandated to pay for all costs associated with IVF treatment, fertilization for women."

Speaking with MSNBC host Willie Geist, who prompted his guest by calling the Trump campaign "flailing," Anand Giridharadas suggested Trump is running scared.

"Look, I mean, for millions of American families, IVF stands for in vitro fertilization. For Donald Trump right now, it stands for, 'I'm very frightened.'" he joked.

"He is something we don't normally see: scared, defensive," he continued. "He's on his back foot, right? Think about since 2015, you and I have had this conversation in various forms, how many of those years was Donald Trump on the back foot, defensive, and frightened? He is now."

"I think the reason is, what happened with IVF, this started with Dobbs and abortion," he elaborated. "What happened with IVF is illuminating. I think it was the American people starting to realize that these things never stop with the initial thing, right? IVF was sort of falling down the slippery slope from Dobbs. You first come for abortion, and then there were murmurs of IVF."

'The behavior is grotesque': MSNBC host pummels Trump World over war with cemetery

On Friday morning, MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Willie Geist took aim at Donald Trump and his campaign officials for their continuing attacks on officials at Arlington National Cemetery following the fracas which occurred during a controversial campaign photo-op.

Noting that Trump campaign officials have ramped up attacks on officials who have called out and criticized the former president for breaking the rules, Geist, who has been off the air all week, had a few things to say.

"At the end of the day, the behavior is grotesque," he began. "Ask yourself, knowing what we know about Donald Trump for these last ten years at least, go back further if you want, if you believe an employee at Arlington National Cemetery, sacred ground of the United States, trying to enforce rules that restrict video and political ads inside a cemetery, or Donald Trump and his campaign and the people who are saying, that this person was mentally ill, throwing that out there, that they were having some kind of a mental health episode, and not just doing his or her job."

CNN fact-checker isn't buying Kamala Harris' explanation of evolving stance on key issue

A CNN fact-checker isn't buying Kamala Harris' insistence at her first sit-down interview as presidential nominee that she clearly evolved her stance on fracking in 2020 after vowing to ban the practice a year prior.

While in Congress, Harris supported the Green New Deal and in 2019, said there was "no question" that she was in favor of a fracking ban. When CNN anchor Dana Bash asked if she still holds that position, Harris said no.
