This comes after California Governor Gavin Newson signed a law to eliminate deepfake and other AI-generated content in the lead-up to the election following a series of parody videos created by AI and using deepfakes to mock Kamala Harris on social media. “After 60 years of policy failures, the left is beginning to lose its sense of humour,” Mr Klavan told Sky News host James Macpherson.

Author and commentator Andrew Klavan says the Democrat Party is “completely enslaved” to its far-left wing. “They’re not the majority ... but no Democrat politician, not one will break from this far-left entity,” he told Sky News host James Macpherson. “And the reason for that, I think, is pretty simple. It’s the media. The left also owns most of the news media in this country.”

Former FBI special agent Jonathan Gilliam slams the new US Secret Service director “who made no changes” following the first assassination attempt on Donald Trump. “That’s under the new director, who made no changes from the old director,” Mr Gilliam told Sky News host Erin Molan. “He comes out and uses verbiage that sounded just like what Kamala Harris was doing, where there’s no answers to the issues.”

Mr Truelove joined Sky News host Erin Molan to discuss the “daunting” experience.

REA Group Senior Economist Paul Ryan says the latest employment figures show the economy is still in a good place despite high interest rates. This comes after it was revealed that the unemployment rate has remained steady at 4.2 per cent for the month of August, with roughly more than 47,000 jobs added. “I mean, adding 50,000 jobs – or close to 50,000 jobs – in a month when interest rates remain at levels that we haven’t seen in more than a decade does suggest that the labour market’s strong, the economy’s quite strong,” Mr Ryan told Sky News Australia. “And does start to say that you know inflation’s going to be difficult to get down into the target band, which is the main thing the RBA’s worried about.” In partnership with realestate.com.au

United Against Nuclear Iran Senior Advisor Dror Doron discusses the detonation of Hezbollah-owned communication devices killing 37 and injuring thousands. Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack but is assumed to be the responsible party. “What we can assume by now is that whoever committed this operation had a very intimate knowledge of Hezbollah, of Hezbollah’s way of acquiring communication equipment from abroad,” Mr Doron told Sky News Australia. “Out of the 4,000 people hurt in Lebanon due to this operation, the overwhelming majority were Hezbollah’s operatives. “That’s a very highly targeted operation and I think security professionals and counter-terrorism professionals are going to study for many years to come.”

OutKick host Tomi Lahren has accused California Governor Gavin Newsom of having the wrong priorities after he signed a bill banning election satire videos. The ban was inspired by a clip which uses AI to twist Kamala Harris’ words about Joe Biden. “The priorities here for a failed state are so wild to me. It’s almost funny if it weren’t so accurate and so true,” Ms Lahren told Sky News host James Morrow.

US Vice President Kamala Harris was caught backtracking a comment she made about guns during an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Harris revealed that if “somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot” before immediately regretting her comment. If somebody breaks into my house, they're getting shot. Sorry, probably shouldn't have said that, but my staff will deal with that later. A clip of the vice president’s comment was posted to X, with users criticising Harris for previously campaigning for gun confiscation. “In the span of 4 years, Kamala has gone from campaigning on gun confiscation to telling Oprah “if someone breaks into my house, they gettin’ SHOT”. This just shows how strongly the American people reject Kamala’s radicalism. She’s in total pandering mode,” wrote one user.
