NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
New York City — Former Vice President Kamala Harris played up her relationship with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as she kicked off her book tour promoting «107 Days,» a memoir on the 2024 race that has deepened Harris’ divide with former President Joe Biden and his orbit.
«We all hope to be mentored. We all hope to have support from those who come before. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. And certainly that’s true of politics. Hillary Clinton is one of those people that believes in lifting people up and supporting people,» Harris said from the stage of The Town Hall, a theater venue in midtown Manhattan, where she kicked off her book tour that will take her across the country in the coming weeks.
«And she follows through,» Harris said.
Harris released her new book Tuesday, which reflects on her experiences on the 2024 campaign trail as the Democratic presidential nominee after Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, 2024, amid mounting concerns over his mental acuity.

The 300-page memoir takes a handful of shots at Biden and his leadership as president, including arguing it was reckless for the octogenarian president to run for re-election, describing that Biden staffers did little to defend her from negative press when she served as vice president, as well as critiques of Biden’s botched debate against Donald Trump that ultimately served as a death knell for Biden’s re-election efforts.
The book, including excerpts that were released in the lead-up to it hitting store shelves, set off condemnation from former White House staffers who claimed Harris was attempting to scapegoat Biden instead of owning her own alleged failures.
Harris told the crowds at the theater that the book was not focused on Biden, but instead on her personal experiences on the campaign trail, and her efforts to «fight» and «win.»
And as she launched that fight, she said, Clinton, as well as former President Bill Clinton, had been rallying support for her campaign since the moment Biden dropped out.

Harris set the scene for the day Biden dropped out, telling the audience that she was in the midst of cooking a pancake breakfast for her young great-nieces who were enjoying the last days of their summer before they headed back to school, when she got a number from a blocked call.
«I got my old Howard sweatshirt on … so I was there in my sweats when my phone rang from a blocked number and there’s only one person who did that. So I answered the phone, ‘Hey Joe, Mr. President,’ and, and then he told me he wasn’t gonna run,» she said.
«And so then all hell broke loose,» she continued.

Harris said she began making calls, including to the Clintons’ home phone number.
«So I have their home number, for Hillary and Bill, and it was the cutest thing. So I called and Hillary picked up and then Bill was in the other room, and she’s like, ‘It’s Kamala on the phone, Bill, pick up the other phone,’» she recounted.
Harris said that the former first couple immediately offered to travel to campaign for her presidential ticket, including taking public transportation.

The former vice president included anecdotes of the exchange in her book as well, saying Hillary Clinton offered to hop on an Amtrak train to help her campaign, while Bill Clinton told her, «Send me anywhere.»
«Hillary: We’re thrilled the president endorsed you. We’ll do whatever we can—we’ll jump on a plane, we’ll get on Amtrak. I want to be part of your war council,» her book reads, according to notes she jotted down during the call.

«Bill: Oh my God, I’m so relieved! Send me anywhere. Make this your own campaign,» the book added of the former president’s reaction.
Harris focused her talk Wednesday evening on the future of the party, her support of «rising stars» among Democrat politicians, as well as providing readers a real-life discussion of the anecdotes on her failed 2024 election. The event yielded a packed house, as well as pro-Gaza protesters who banged drums and chanted outside the venue during the event, including accusing Harris of «setting Palestine on fire» amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas.
Harris’ book tour launch included continuing claims that the 2024 election was «the closest» of this century, as well as a handful of attacks on Trump, including lambasting him as one who «lied» to the public on the campaign trail about bringing costs down for Americans.

«It was the closest election in the 21st Century. It was one of the top three closest elections in the last century. So for all those pundits who want to say that America is not ready for a woman to be president, I reject that,» she said.

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.

Corea del Sur efectuó disparos de advertencia contra una embarcación norcoreana que violó su frontera marítima
El ejército de Corea del Sur disparó tiros de advertencia el viernes después de que un barco mercante de Corea del Norte cruzó la frontera marítima en el mar Amarillo, lo que obligó a la nave a retirarse, informó el Estado Mayor Conjunto (JCS).
El barco ingresó en aguas surcoreanas alrededor de las 5 de la mañana, cuando cruzó la Línea Límite del Norte (LLN) cerca de la isla surcoreana de Baengnyeong, señaló el JCS en un comunicado.
“Nuestras fuerzas emitieron señales de advertencia y dispararon tiros de advertencia, después de lo cual el buque se retiró más allá de nuestras aguas”, indicó la institución, que agregó que respondió “de acuerdo con los procedimientos” y que sigue “monitoreando de cerca los movimientos de Corea del Norte”.
No hubo reportes inmediatos de que fuerzas norcoreanas respondieran con disparos o con otro tipo de acción militar.
El incidente se produjo dos días después de que Corea del Sur realizara ejercicios de tiro real en la LLN, una línea que el régimen de Corea del Norte no reconoce formalmente. Pyongyang sostiene que la frontera marítima debería estar más al sur, lo que ha provocado numerosos enfrentamientos en el pasado.
La franja occidental del mar Amarillo ha sido escenario de choques militares, entre ellos el bombardeo norcoreano de 2010 contra la isla de Yeonpyeong y el presunto torpedeo de la corbeta surcoreana Cheonan el mismo año, hechos que dejaron 50 muertos.
En 2022, las dos Coreas intercambiaron disparos de advertencia después de que otro barco norcoreano cruzara la frontera marítima disputada.
En enero de 2024, el líder dictador norcoreano Kim Jong-un reiteró que su país no reconoce la LLN, establecida por el mando de la ONU al final de la guerra de Corea (1950-53), conflicto que concluyó con un armisticio y no con un tratado de paz.
El ejército surcoreano recordó que permanece en un estado de preparación elevada para proteger firmemente sus aguas territoriales.
El presidente surcoreano Lee Jae Myung, que asumió en junio, ha prometido una postura más moderada hacia Pyongyang que la de su predecesor, Yoon Suk Yeol. En un discurso el martes ante la Asamblea General de la ONU, Lee afirmó que trabajará para poner fin al “círculo vicioso” de tensiones con Corea del Norte y aseguró que su gobierno no buscará un cambio de régimen.
El presidente de Corea del Sur, Lee Jae-myung, y su homólogo de Polonia, Karol Nawrocki, acordaron este miércoles ampliar la cooperación bilateral en materia de defensa. El tratado busca consolidar la asociación estratégica fortalecida a raíz de la guerra entre Ucrania y Rusia y de los recientes episodios de intromisión territorial por parte de drones rusos en espacio aéreo polaco.
“Ambos líderes reconocieron el continuo desarrollo de la cooperación bilateral en la industria de defensa, en particular en áreas como los tanques, y acordaron ampliarla para lograr resultados mutuamente beneficiosos para las empresas de ambos países”, señaló un comunicado de la oficina presidencial surcoreana.
Durante la cumbre en Nueva York, Lee manifestó su esperanza de que la colaboración alcance también el sector de submarinos y respaldó el avance del programa impulsado por Polonia. Nawrocki, por su parte, destacó que los tanques K2 surcoreanos se entregan conforme a los plazos estipulados en los contratos con Varsovia.
Polonia se ha posicionado como un destino clave para las exportaciones surcoreanas de defensa, con contratos por miles de millones de dólares que contemplan tanques K2, obuses K9, cazas FA-50 y lanzacohetes Chunmoo, algunos a ensamblarse en territorio polaco. Ambos países firmaron en marzo un plan de acción hasta 2028 que convertirá a Polonia en centro europeo de ensamblaje.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has suggested he is ready to step down from office once Russia’s war on Ukraine ends.

When pressed on if Ukraine would hold elections during a ceasefire, Zelenskyy was firm.

«So do you commit that if tomorrow, President Putin agrees for a ceasefire of three months, six months, whatever you will push forward to go for elections in Ukraine?» Ravid asked. «Yes,» Zelenskyy responded.
When asked whether he envisioned leading Ukraine in peacetime, Zelenskyy again suggested his intent to step aside once the war is won.
«If we will finish war with Russia? Yes,» Zelenskyy said, before clarifying that elections were not his personal ambition.
«It’s not my goal, elections,» he explained. «I want it very much, in a very difficult period of time, to be with my country, help my country. Yes, that is what I wanted. My goal is to finish the war,» he stated.
