 Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesIn the wake of Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris' record-breaking fundraising numbers, Ben Shapiro has an answer for anyone wondering if Donald Trump would pick J.D. Vance as his running mate again: "I doubt it."
"I think he probably would have picked somebody like Glenn Youngkin from Virginia in an attempt to broaden out his base," Shapiro said on the latest episode of his self-titled show, according to Media Matters. "Instead, he went with J.D. Vance feeling, because he was right that at the time, he had a very solid advantage in the race against Joe Biden."
Shapiro was referring to President Joe Biden's murmuring debate performance two weeks before the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee last week. That performance was the catalyst for Biden quitting the race and why Trump felt comfortable choosing a running mate who defies the traditions of picking a candidate that shores up support with the party's larger base.

 XSandy Hook denier Alex Jones is convinced a video proves with "no doubt" that President Joe Biden has been replaced by someone—or something— much taller.
Jones retweeted a video on X Friday morning that appeared to be taken at the White House on the day of Biden's "pass the torch" speech. However, Jones claimed the president smiling and waving in the clip, with First Lady Jill standing nearby, was "not the real Joe Biden."
"Clearly different," wrote Jones, adding, "The legs are 6 to 8 inches longer."

 Brendan McDermid/ReutersThe FBI has reportedly confirmed former President Donald Trump was indeed shot by a bullet, ending speculation about what exactly bloodied Trump's ear.
The agency told Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich in a statement on Friday afternoon, "What struck former President Trump in the ear was a bullet, whether whole or fragmented into smaller pieces, fired from the deceased subject's rifle," the statement read. The statement was also posted by Fox's Bret Baier.
The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast.

And the former astronaut and Navy veteran's military and scientific bonafides just landed him a shiny new endorsement from the 314 Action Fund, a grassroots organization that elects STEM professionals who want to tackle climate change and health care.
"He uses facts, science, and data to make informed public policy decisions," Shaughnessy Naughton, the president of 314 Action Fund, said. "He can simultaneously energize the base, win swing voters, and profoundly impact this race and we are proud to stand with him."

 Reuters TVDonald Trump's former White House physician insisted Friday he is certain the former president was hit by a bullet during his assassination attempt two weeks ago.
"There is absolutely no evidence that it was anything other than a bullet," Ronny Jackson, a Republican U.S. House representative from Texas who is no longer a fully licensed physician, said in a letter posted on Truth Social.
Jackson slammed FBI Director Christopher Wray, who told Congress this week that he could not conclude whether Trump was hit or grazed by a bullet, or by flying shrapnel.

 Photo Illustration by Elizabeth Brockway/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesDon't fuck with cats, and certainly don't fuck with "childless cat ladies." It's a truth Republican vice presidential candidate J. D. Vance has been learning the hard way in recent days, after comments he made during a 2021 interview with Tucker Carlson resurfaced online.
In the interview, he described Democratic politicians and leaders as "a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they've made...the entire future of the Democrats is controlled by people without children."
Vance has since received criticism from all over: from Jennifer Aniston to Gabby Giffords, as well as cat lovers, women who've struggled to start a family, quick-to-pounce Democrats and many more. But the extent of the ire he may have awoken is perhaps yet to be fully understood, especially considering the cultural pull of those who could be proudly among the "childless cat lady" lobby. It will likely take more than catnip to calm these power players down, and rightly so:

Just hours before Friday's opening ceremony for the 2024 Summer Olympics, a series of apparently coordinated arson attacks were reported on France's high-speed rail network. No one has claimed responsibility yet. Before the games, protests highlighted the displacement of thousands of migrants, unhoused people and other vulnerable communities as "social cleansing." We go to Paris for an update with Jules Boykoff, former professional soccer player, author and scholar focusing on the Olympic Games, and Paul Alauzy, Paris-based activist with the collective Revers de la Médaille (Other Side of the Medal). "We are not anti-Olympics," says Alauzy. "You can support the games, but you need to know that they have a big social impact and they come with a cost. And they come with a cost of the lives of hundreds, thousands of people being mistreated." We also discuss how Palestinian athletes are taking part in this year's Olympics amid the Israeli war on Gaza, the health risks of competing during rising heat and COVID, the environmental impact of major sporting events and more.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress on Wednesday to defend the ongoing war on Gaza as thousands of people outside protested his appearance. The speech came two months after Karim Khan, the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, announced he was seeking an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for committing war crimes in Gaza. Over 100 Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, skipped the speech, but those in attendance gave Netanyahu numerous standing ovations as he painted a distorted picture of what's happening in Gaza, making no mention of efforts to reach a ceasefire or the more than 16,000 Palestinian children killed in Israel's assault. Foreign policy analyst Phyllis Bennis says the speech was "horrifying," but says it showed that "support for Israel has become a thoroughly partisan issue." Bennis adds that peace activists in the U.S. have built a broad consensus against the war on Gaza and military support for Israel, and says Vice President Kamala Harris has an opportunity to chart a new path on Middle East policy as she runs for president.

 Erin Schaff/AFP via Getty ImagesThe ex-wife of Kamala Harris' beau has expressed her support publicly for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, calling out critics for their "baseless" attacks surrounding sexist commentary about Harris' lack of biological children.
Kerstin Emhoff was married to Doug Emhoff in 1992, and the pair remained together until 2008. They had two children together, and divorced in 2008.
"These are baseless attacks. For over 10 years, since Cole and Ella were teenagers, Kamala has been a co-parent with Doug and I," Kerstin Emhoff told CNN Wednesday. She later echoed the comments to The New York Times. "She is loving, nurturing, fiercely protective, and always present. I love our blended family and am grateful to have her in it."

Journalist Mehdi Hasan joins us to respond to President Joe Biden's announcement Sunday he is ending his campaign to seek reelection just four months before Election Day. In a letter posted on social media, Biden wrote he was stepping aside "in the best interest of my party and the country," and then endorsed his Vice President Kamala Harris. She quickly received the backing of many powerful Democrats, but Harris could still face a challenge for the party's nomination in the four weeks before the Democratic National Convention. Questions about Biden's candidacy had been growing since at least last year. The activist group RootsAction launched a campaign called Don't Run Joe 20 months ago, and during the primary more than a half-million voters chose "uncommitted" instead of Biden to protest his support for Israel's war on Gaza. Hasan says that this is a "big, big moment for American democracy," and when it comes to Harris, we need to "pressure her in a way that we failed to pressure Joe Biden."

As anger grows in Milwaukee over the police killing of 43-year-old Samuel Sharpe during the Republican National Convention, we speak with his sister, Angelique Sharpe, who says the family is fighting for transparency from the authorities and the full video of the fatal incident. "We really want justice for my brother," says Angelique, who also explains that her brother's life had been threatened by a "bully" and that he had actually called the police for help before he was killed. Samuel Sharpe was an unhoused Black man shot 27 times by police on Tuesday — but the officers were from Ohio, part of a deployment of thousands of outside law enforcement members in Wisconsin for the RNC. We are also joined by Wisconsin state Representative Darrin Madison, a Democratic Socialist, who says both Sharpe's death and the killing of D'Vontaye Mitchell by hotel security guards weeks earlier point to a larger problem of anti-Black violence in Milwaukee.
