Welcome to the RedState Weekly Briefing  — where we take a quick look at the week’s most viewed stories in case you missed any of them. Grab a cup of coffee (or something stronger as we head into the homestretch of election season), and sit down with this 21st Century Weekend Edition of your favorite (online) publication!

#1 - Catherine Herridge Spills the Tea on CBS Over Kamala Interview Editing Scandal — by Nick Arama

The Harris campaign is trying to run away from the scandal. "We do not control CBS's production decisions and refer questions to CBS," a Harris campaign aide told Fox. Uh-huh. Did they ask to have any parts aired or not aired? Notice their response simply says they don't "control" the production decisions.

CBS isn't talking, so that's not looking good for them.

The Trump campaign is demanding the release of the full transcript, understandably.

#2 - Karma Is a Female Dog: Trump Hater Gets His Just Rewards in Hysterical Video — by Bob Hoge

Listen, I get that tensions are running high, and that this is perhaps the most consequential election in our lifetimes. But that doesn’t mean violence and vandalism are OK. My neighbors—who I like quite a lot –have a Harris-Walz sign in their front yard. While I might fantasize about setting it on fire, I would never do such a thing because that is antithetical to who we are as a people. Leftists, however, feel it’s just fine to burn down anything that goes against their worldview.

But now this guy has discovered the hard way that actions have consquences. I can guess at what my punhappy colleague Ward Clark might say: “These Trump supporters nailed it.”

And indeed they did.

Welcome to karma, beta-Man with your useless mask and intolerant hatred. Have a nice day.

#3 - Trump's Funny, No-Holds-Barred Interview Has Them Rolling When He Explains Joe Biden's Real Talent — by Nick Arama

He praised Musk for loving the country and "picking a side," noting how now (because of Democrats), you can suffer a cost for supporting the opposition, a troubling turn of events for the country. He mentioned how he had supporters who were hesitant to be supporters publicly for that reason. But Elon has gone "all out," which takes courage. He also spoke about returning to Butler, Pennsylvania, and the importance of honoring the fallen firefighter Corey Comperatore and supporting the two men who had been injured in the assassination attempt against Trump in July. 

Schulz asked about him being a father and about a funny story of Don Jr. asking if he could have five friends over when he thought his father would be out of town. He ended up bringing over 200, and his father showed up. It did not go well.

#4 - Brian Trascher of United Cajun Navy Confirms a Blackhawk Did 'Rotor Wash' a Western NC Resource Site — by Jennifer Oliver O'Connell

In a phone interview with Trascher, he said that text was only one of many. Trascher said from studying the videos and hearing the eyewitness accounts of the volunteers and staff at the location, UCN ascertained that the helicopter was probably a UH60 standard Blackhawk, and the pilots were wearing military headgear.

Yeah, it takes two pilots to fly. One of those things, and both were wearing standard DOD gear, the headgear.

Video taken by another bystander on the site was also leaked, with lots of commentary and speculation that the government was involved — that it was a deliberate attack, along with the usual full-on conspiracies about Hurricane Helene and its causations.

#5 - Fox News Makes Insanely Smart Move Just in Time for the Election — by Teri Christoph

As RedState's Sister Toldjah noted in September, "That Democrats are having to compete more for these voters than they have in decades confirms two important things: That an increasing number of folks in their normally reliable voting blocs are fed up with woke, and that Republican persistence is paying off."

It's obvious that Fox News has also noted that trend and knows that conservative viewers are their bread and butter (and, of course, the liberal hate watchers). Therefore, it's incredibly smart for them to launch this new product in the weeks before the election. It's also smart to air the show on the sports network, as it will catch Hispanic viewers who might not tune into traditional news shows.
