Welcome to the RedState weekly briefing — where we take a quick look at the most-watched stories of the week, in case you missed any of them. Grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger as we head into the home stretch of election season) and sit down with this 21st century weekend edition of your favorite publication (online)!
#1 – The Most Devastating Moments of the Train Wreck Fox Interview with Kamala Harris – by Jennifer Oliver O’Connell
Baier gently pushed back with documented facts, and Harris briefly got the “deer in the headlights” look you get when she’s desperately trying to find her talking points. She then pointed to her supposed record as California attorney general (not her current position as vice president) as evidence that she knew how to handle this crisis. If you don’t understand that the fact that a crisis exists is evidence of your inability to fix it.
But the worst and worst thing about this illegal immigration issue was the fact that Harris couldn’t even find the words to apologize for allowing criminals into the country, resulting in the senseless deaths of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray and Rachel Morin led.
#2 – Ted Cruz leaves Colin Allred’s campaign in tatters with masterful debate performance – by Bonchie
While Allred bombards the airwaves with ads claiming he’s a tough boundary-pusher and social moderate, the truth is quite different. As Cruz so accurately explained, the congressman went to Washington and did what Democrats always do in Washington. He supported and voted for a variety of radical, far-left policies that make most people in Texas cringe.
On the issue of transgenderism, Allred repeatedly voted enthusiastically with his party and against the protection of children. Far from the rebel he claimed to be, the congressman was actually a seal of approval for the most extreme aspects of the left’s agenda. He can try to run away from this record, but he can’t hide from it.
#3 – Kamala unravels in PA, but those who weren’t there tell the story – by Nick Arama
Then she dove deep into lies and tried to incite fear of Trump because she has nothing else. She claimed Trump was “weaponizing” the DOJ against political enemies.
Kamala again claims that President Trump would “use the Justice Department as a weapon against his political enemies.”

In response, many labeled this a “projection,” especially given the legal battles Trump has faced and efforts to push him off the ballot.
But as she walks over the cliff, guess who wasn’t there to walk over with her? Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), who is in a neck-and-neck race with Republican challenger Dave McCormick.
#4 – Catherine Herridge Gets Big Help Finding Transcript in CBS Kamala Interview Scandal – from Nick Arama
“A strong majority of voters (DEM + GOP) believe CBS should release the Harris interview transcript from 60 Minutes; a slim majority think CBS edited it to make them look better.”
Eighty-five percent of people — including 87 percent of Democrats, 88 percent of Republicans and 80 percent of independents — said they should release it. A majority of 53 percent also thought this was done to assist Kamala Harris.
“60 Minutes” aired again on Sunday, but did not address the “growing controversy” and “widespread calls for transparency.” Yahoo called it. “60 Minutes” did not inform its viewers of the situation or mention it in any way.
#5 – Shocking discovery about Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar’s bodyguard after his elimination – by Margaret Clark
Since the IDF operation in Gaza, hardly a single UNWRA school, hospital or office space has been found without weapons or forces. A network of tunnels was found directly beneath the UNWRA headquarters. Hamas tunnels are found full of bags of stolen UNWRA aid.
The evidence is irrefutable. The credibility of this organization and the UN that should have overseen it has been irreparably damaged. The American people, Israel and every other contributing country deserve an apology. Our leadership should answer for the blank check they gave this incredibly tainted organization, even though there is ample evidence of corruption.
