Harris resurrects campaign word salad when concerned pregnant mom asks about raising a son under Trump
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
NEW YORK — Former Vice President Kamala Harris tried to quell a nine-month-pregnant mom’s concerns over having a baby boy under the Trump administration, resurrecting a campaign phrase celebrating the «children of the community.»
«Part of how I was raised to think about things was that the children of the community are our children of the community. And we all have some, I think, responsibility — you can call it a moral responsibility, you can think of it in different ways — but to be invested in their well-being and success,» Harris said Wednesday evening from The Town Hall theater venue in Midtown Manhattan.
Harris was in New York City to launch her book tour to promote «107 Days,» which offers a detailed and personal retelling of her days on the 2024 presidential campaign trail after then-President Joe Biden dropped out amid mounting concerns over his mental acuity.
KAMALA HARRIS’ BOOK, MEDIA TOUR SLAMMED BY LIBERAL CRITICS AS ‘EMBARRASSING’ AND ‘UNHELPFUL’
Harris only took a couple questions from the audience, including one from a nine-month-pregnant mom who was concerned about raising a son with a «good heart and moral compass» under «this current political climate.»

Harris quelled the mom’s concerns by reassuring her she would teach her son how to be «strong,» which would catapult him to «role model» status as an adult.
«To teach that our own children, that that is the way that we expect that they will live, which is to see the connection between themselves and others, to see the interdependence between themselves and others, and to have a sense of understanding that it’s a sign of strength to lift other people up,» she continued.
BERNIE URGED HARRIS TO FOCUS ‘ON THE WORKING CLASS, NOT JUST ON ABORTION,’ BOOK REVEALS
Harris argued that President Donald Trump has a «perverse notion» that strength is measured by «who you beat down,» which she rejected.

«I used to talk about it a lot in those 107 days, which is this perverse notion that is absolutely being pushed by this guy in the White House, which is to suggest that the measure of strength is based on who you beat down,» she said. «Instead, what I think everyone here understands, which is the true measure of strength, is based on who you lift up.»

Harris added that she was excited about the future of the unborn baby under his mom’s leadership.
«You’re going to teach him to be strong in every way that is important, and he will be a role model,» she continued. «And we are very, very excited for the future of that child.»
Harris repeatedly has used the phrase «the children of the community are the children of the community» while speaking during public events, including as vice president and when she was running for the presidency in 2024.
Conservative critics and others frequently mocked Harris’ «word salad» comments during the election cycle, including in September 2024 when she tied inflation to her «children of the community» phrase.
«I grew up understanding the children of the community are the children of the community, and we should all have a vested interest in ensuring that children can go grow up with the resources that they need to achieve their God-given potential,» Harris said, explaining she wanted to lower the cost of groceries for struggling families and vowing to take on big corporations who gouged customers.

Harris kicked off her book tour in New York City before traveling to cities from coast to coast to promote her new book, which was released Tuesday.
Her roughly hourlong conversation Wednesday evening included taking a few shots at Trump, as well as celebrating how former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton served as her mentor and supporter throughout the 2024 election.

Trump: Erdogan could be ‘influential’ in ending Putin’s war by ending oil sales ‘if he wants’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump on Thursday said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan could prove hugely influential in ending Russia’s war in Ukraine «if he wants to.»
Trump, who in recent weeks has increasingly demanded that NATO allies cease all Russian oil purchases to block funding for Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war chest, set his sights on Erdoğan while speaking to reporters from the Oval Office.
«I think he could have a big influence if he wants to,» Trump said while sitting next to Erdoğan. «Right now, he’s very neutral. He likes being neutral. So do I, like being neutral.»

«But he’s somebody that if he got involved, the best thing he could do is not buy oil and gas from Russia,» Trump added.
The president told reporters the two main issues he planned to discuss with the Turkish leader were «war» and «trade.»
«I’d like to have him stop buying any oil from Russia. While Russia continues this rampage against Ukraine,» Trump said. «Disgraceful.»
«Putin ought to stop,» he added.

Erdoğan said he plans to discuss the sale of U.S. F-35s to Turkey, which during Trump’s first term, the U.S. barred Ankara from obtaining after it also purchased a Russian air defense system over concerns that Moscow could get its hands on the U.S. technology.
Trump on Thursday did not say if he would agree to lift the ban or use it to negotiate an end to Turkish imports of Russian oil. Ankara is Russia’s third-largest importer, behind India and China.
But while India has already had secondary tariffs slapped on it, and negotiations with China remain ongoing, Turkey has so far escaped Trump’s secondary tariff threats — though Trump said tariffs would also be on the day’s agenda.

Trump on Thursday said the U.S. and Turkey are «in great shape» when it comes to securing a possible deal on F-16 fighter jets, but did not indicate if that extended to F-35s as well.
«We’re talking about that very seriously,» Trump said. «He needs certain things, and we need certain things, and we’re going to come to a conclusion by the end of the day.»

Netanyahu llega a la ONU decidido a rechazar el Estado palestino mientras crece la presión por la ofensiva en Gaza
El primer ministro de Israel, Benjamín Netanyahu, llega a la Asamblea General de la ONU con la determinación de reafirmar su oposición a la creación de un Estado palestino. Su intervención, prevista para este viernes en Nueva York, ocurre apenas unos días después de que Francia, Reino Unido, Canadá, Australia y Portugal, junto a otras potencias occidentales, hayan dado un paso inédito con el reconocimiento oficial de Palestina como Estado, en respuesta a la prolongada ofensiva israelí en Gaza.
La comunidad internacional asiste a la cita con una preocupación renovada: la ofensiva militar, lanzada tras el ataque de Hamas el 7 de octubre de 2023, ha dejado más de 65.500 muertos en Gaza, la mayoría de ellos civiles, según datos del Ministerio de Salud del territorio bajo control del grupo islamista y considerados confiables por la ONU.
El lunes, el presidente francés Emmanuel Macron reunió a varios líderes occidentales en una cumbre que culminó con la decisión colectiva de reconocer el Estado palestino, un hecho sin precedentes en el seno de la diplomacia europea reciente. La medida representa un giro frente a la falta de avances en el proceso de paz y al creciente descontento ante la respuesta militar israelí.
“Lo que ocurre en Gaza es indefendible, inhumano y absolutamente injustificable y debe acabar ahora”, sostuvo el viceprimer ministro británico, David Lammy, en su intervención ante la Asamblea General.
Netanyahu, en tanto, permanece firme en su negativa a cualquier iniciativa que implique la independencia palestina. A lo largo de los últimos años, ha contado con el respaldo de fuerzas de extrema derecha, que incluso han impulsado la posibilidad de anexar Cisjordania y desmantelar cualquier escenario de Estado palestino viable.
Su gabinete ha respondido a los gobiernos que reconocieron Palestina con un endurecimiento del discurso y el rechazo frontal a un cambio de postura.
El clima en Nueva York refleja el nivel de polarización. Decenas de manifestantes y simpatizantes se congregaron frente al hotel donde se hospeda Netanyahu. “Los criminales de guerra no merecen paz mental. No merecen dormir”, afirmó la activista Andrea Mirez, una de las que pide su arresto internacional por crímenes de guerra en Gaza. Se espera que el viernes, cuando el primer ministro dirija su mensaje a la Asamblea General, tenga lugar una protesta masiva en Times Square impulsando el pedido de detención.
Mientras tanto, el presidente de la Autoridad Palestina, Mahmud Abbas, intervino el jueves por videoconferencia, luego de que Estados Unidos rechazara su solicitud de visa. Abbas aprovechó el foro para condenar el ataque de Hamas el 7 de octubre y el antisemitismo, al tiempo que defendió el derecho palestino a un Estado independiente, libre del dominio de Hamas, rival del gobierno central en Ramallah.
Especialistas anticipan que el discurso de Netanyahu será de confrontación, dirigido contra la ONU y los países que han oficializado el reconocimiento del Estado palestino. “Él no viene a defender su campaña en Gaza, sino a castigar a la ONU y condenar a los que esta semana reconocieron a Palestina”, señaló Richard Gowan, analista de Naciones Unidas en International Crisis Group.
La postura del primer ministro se verá puesta a prueba en un escenario político internacional cambiante, mientras persiste la presión humanitaria y mediática sobre la crisis en Gaza y la exigencia por una solución negociada. La jornada en la Asamblea General promete elevar la presión diplomática y profundizar la distancia entre Israel y quienes hoy apuestan por un giro en el conflicto palestino-israelí.

James Comey, the former FBI Director, was indicted on felony charges of obstruction and perjury Thursday, igniting fierce reactions across the nation and political spectrum.
The charges, announced by newly appointed U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan in the Eastern District of Virginia, relate to his 2020 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Halligan framed the indictment as a matter of accountability, declaring it «a breach of public trust at an extraordinary level» and emphasizing that «no one is above the law.»
If convicted, Comey faces up to five years in prison.

IN TRYING TO SECURE COMEY INDICTMENT, US PROSECUTORS HAVE SHORT WINDOW — AND A DIFFICULT CASE TO MAKE
The announcement sparked reaction with the fastest coming through from the president and his allies.
President Donald Trump has long demanded Comey’s prosecution since firing him in 2017 and railing against the Russia investigation he oversaw.
Trump celebrated the news with a triumphant post on his Truth Social account.
«JUSTICE IN AMERICA! One of the worst human beings this Country has ever been exposed to is James Comey, the former Corrupt Head of the FBI. Today he was indicted by a Grand Jury on two felony counts for various illegal and unlawful acts. He has been so bad for our Country, for so long, and is now at the beginning of being held responsible for his crimes against our Nation. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!» the president wrote.
FBI LAUNCHES CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS OF JOHN BRENNAN, JAMES COMEY: DOJ SOURCES

Attorney General Pam Bondi also issued a sharp statement on X declaring, «No one is above the law. The American people deserve justice after years of lies and political interference.»
FBI Director Kash Patel amplified that opinion and cast the indictment as part of a broader effort to restore trust in the bureau.
«Today, your FBI took another step in its promise of full accountability,» he wrote.
«For far too long, corrupt leadership weaponized federal law enforcement, damaging once proud institutions and eroding public trust. Under my leadership, this FBI will confront the problem head-on. No one is above the law.»
U.S. Senator John Cornyn responded noting the gravity of Comey’s offenses.
«While our legal system provides for the presumption of innocence, Comey’s accountability for FBI abuses during the first Trump term are long overdue,» he said. «These charges are serious offenses, especially if committed by the head of our nation’s top law enforcement agency, and there must be consequences for any crimes.»

Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller called it «a long-awaited correction to years of corruption and cover-ups,» while economic adviser Peter Navarro said it proved «justice delayed is not justice denied.»
Democrats condemned the charges as politically motivated.
Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) denounced what he called a «malicious prosecution,» reminding reporters that Trump previously fired a prosecutor who refused to bring «frivolous charges.»
Senator Mark Warner (D-VA), vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, issued an even sharper rebuke.

«This kind of interference is a dangerous abuse of power,» he warned. «By ousting a respected, independent prosecutor and replacing him with a partisan loyalist, Trump is undermining one of the most important U.S. Attorney’s offices in the country and eroding the rule of law itself.»
