Former President Donald Trump has made a controversial appeal to Jewish voters.
What Happened: Trump made these remarks at a pro-Israel conference in Washington, D.C., where he criticized Jewish Democrats and Vice President Kamala Harris, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/4889959-donald-trump-israel-will-cease-to-exist-kamala-harris/">reported</a> on Friday. He referred to the estimated 60% of American Jews who vote for Democrats as &#8220;fools&#8221; and suggested that their choice could lead to Israel&#8217;s demise.
"Anybody who votes for a Democrat or Kamala, worst…you should have your head examined," Trump said during his remarks while addressing a pro-Israel conference with the theme of combatting antisemitism.
Trump&#8217;s comments appear at a time when recent polls are indicating <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/09/40910999/trump-in-trouble-vice-president-harris-has-record-6-point-lead-in-2024-election-poll-after-debat">Harris&#8217; lead over him</a>. A new Morning Consult poll of likely voters showed Harris&#8217; growing popularity after the presidential debate.

Trump&#8217;s speech was well-received by the audience, which included Miriam Adelson, the wife of the late Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson.
Trump also highlighted the significance of the U.S. election for Israel, especially in light of the upcoming first anniversary of Hamas&#8217; Oct. 7 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/09/40862471/turkeys-spy-chief-meets-with-hamas-to-discuss-cease-fire-in-gaza-reports">attacks on Israel</a>, which resulted in the deaths of approximately 1,200 people.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s recent comments are in line with his previous statements regarding the potential impact of a Democratic victory on Israel. In early September, he warned a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40761179/donald-trump-says-kamala-harris-victory-would-mean-israels-demise-criticizes-jewish-democrats"> group of Jewish Republicans</a> that a win for Harris would mean the end of Israel. 
This rhetoric aligns with his consistently pro-Israel stance, including his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40417063/trump-says-he-encouraged-netanyahu-to-end-gaza-war-while-critizing-kamala-harris-for-demanding-cease">support for Israel </a>during the Gaza war and his criticism of the Biden administration&#8217;s calls for a ceasefire.

'Anybody Who Votes For A Democrat Or Kamala, Worst…You Should Have Your Head Examined:' Trump Tells Voters In Washington As Poll Numbers Plummet

APLS

The Committee For Medicinal Products For Human Use Of The European Medicines Agency Has Confirmed Its June 2024 Negative Opinion On Apellis Pharmaceuticals' Intravitreal Pegcetacoplan For Geographic Atrophy Secondary To Age-related Macular Degeneration

Former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci on Thursday weighed in on the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40893118/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-leads-in-this-must-win-swing-state-and-2-bellwether-counties-but-25-s">recent poll numbers that have given Vice President Kamala Harris a slight lead </a>over her rival Donald Trump and explored the reasons thereof.
Elections And Immigration: After the presidential debate held on Sept. 10, the polls were largely tied and the upper hand Harris has recently gained is due to the &#8220;cat and dog memes&#8221; that are out there in droves following claims from Trump and his team that Haitian immigrants in Springfield Ohio ate pets, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCnYob_V1Q4">said </a>Scaramucci in the latest episode of Rest Is Politics US podcast.
Trump believes that he has a three-legged stool of &#8220;racism, misogyny and anti-immigration&#8221; and he thinks if he can run on that platform, he can bring enough of his base out, who will equivocate on his behalf, Scaramucci, a businessman, crypto bull and founder of SkyBridge Capital said.
&#8220;Ohio is tarnished by him; there&#8217;s no evidence to this; Haitian Americans are tarnished by him, he added.
The &#8220;orange maze&#8221; inside Trump&#8217;s brain thinks people fear foreigners and that America has always classically been a xenophobic country, Scaramucci said, adding that it has also been an immigration country but there&#8217;s a large part of the people that are xenophobic and there has always been an element of isolationism in the country.
While weighing in a recent poll result that showed a majority of people were in favor of deporting undocumented immigrants, Scaramucci said he does not attach much significance to the number, given his view that response ultimately depended on the way the question is phrased.

Harris Closes Gap On Economic Stewardship: While referring to the recent FT-Michigan Roo and Morning Consult polls, which show <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40876581/trump-vs-harris-vice-president-widens-lead-on-key-election-issue-that-is-democrats-achilles-heel-as">Harris has closed her gap with Trump on economic policies,</a> Scaramucci said it is due to Trump doing a poor job of explaining his economic policies 
&#8220;If you&#8217;re sitting out there saying that we&#8217;re going to do tariffs, tariffs, tariffs and the other governments around the world are going to pay those taxes and they&#8217;re going to lower the cost of goods in the country, that&#8217;s the trifecta of lies,&#8221; Scaramucci said. On the other hand, the lower and middle-class people will pay more of a percentage of their disposable income for those tariffs than the rich people, he said, adding that it&#8217;s a regressive tax and prices will go up.
He also flagged the possibility of a country circumventing the tariffs by exporting semi-finished goods to another for which tariffs do not apply. This country then exports the fully-finished product to the U.S., thus avoiding tariffs.
Scaramucci also called the widely-held belief that Republicans are better for the economy a misnomer, as he cited better stock market performance and employment under the Democratic government. That said, Harris is not putting a lot of flesh on the bones of her economic plan, he said.
Swing State That Matters: Pennsylvania, which goes by the moniker &#8220;Keystone State,&#8221; is a very eclectic mix of people and it&#8217;s a political puzzle that has to be solved, Scaramucci said. &#8220;If you want to win the presidency and Donald Trump solved it with volume in 2016, Joe Biden solved it with being a native in 2020,&#8221; he said.
The ex-White House aide noted that the Quinnipiac poll showed Harris up 6 points in the state versus Trump, with a 51%-45% tally. He noted that Green Party candidate Jill Stein has 1% of votes in the state. &#8220;That&#8217;s got to be a source of frustration for the Democrats because those votes would lean towards Harris,&#8221; he said.
The moot points are whether they can believe in her fracking and how she does in the urban areas. Scaramucci said he plans to go to Pennsylvania and be on left-leaning radio talk shows over the next couple of months. Harris needs to get blue-collar turnout, African-American turnout and support of the union and energy people to pull this off, he said.
When his co-host Katty Kay noted that Pennsylvania Michigan and Wisconsin have voted the same way in every presidential election since 1980 with the exception of 1988, Scaramucci said if Harris does emerge victorious in Pennsylvania that would seal the deal for her. &#8220;If she wins those three states, she becomes the 47th president,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;I think Trump is underestimating her in Pennsylvania and I think his campaign is underestimating her in Pennsylvania and and I think she could use that to her advantage,&#8221; he added.

Anthony Scaramucci Says Trump's 3-Legged Stool Strategy Of 'Racism, Misogyny And Anti-Immigration' Will Misfire: Here's What Would Seal The Deal For Kamala Harris

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) raised concerns over the usage of the term &#8220;digital asset security&#8221; by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC,) questioning its legal basis and origin.
What Happened: During a recent congressional hearing, the Democratic Congressman asked Daniel Gallagher, former SEC commissioner, and currently the Chief Legal Officer at Robinhood, if he knew about the existence of such a term in any law enacted by the Congress or in any rule promulgated by the SEC. Gallagher responded in the negative. 
&#8220;If it comes from neither statute nor rule, then where does it come from,&#8221; Torres wrote in an X post. &#8220;The SEC invented the term out of thin air.&#8221;
The&nbsp;hearing, entitled "Dazed and Confused: Breaking Down the SEC's Politicized Approach to Digital Assets," featured other market participants like Teddy Fusaro, president of Bitwise Asset Management, as witnesses.

He questioned whether the SEC intended to reevaluate its hardline stance on cryptocurrencies, following its unsuccessful lawsuit against Ripple Labs, where the court determined that XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>) does not qualify as a security.
The SEC invited criticism from the cryptocurrency community <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/06/32718798/binance-and-changpeng-zhao-sued-by-the-sec-has-the-empire-just-started-crumbling">after labeling as many as 12 tokens</a> on Binance as securities, as part of a lawsuit against the cryptocurrency exchange in June 2023.

Faraday Future Launches Second Brand, Faraday X (FX), With Plans For Affordable AIEV Models Priced Between $20K And $50K, Supported By Strategic Agreements With Four OEMs

Brazil's Supreme Court has fined Elon Musk&#8216;s social media platform nearly $1 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40932378/elon-musks-x-manages-to-dodge-brazil-ban-with-software-update-court-wants-an-explanation">daily for allowing access to X, despite a ban</a>.
What Happened: The court accused Musk of switching X's network provider to partially restore access. This maneuver was seen as an attempt to bypass the ban imposed three weeks ago, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/brazil-fines-musk-for-skirting-x-ban-945813ed">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal. 
In his latest ruling on Thursday, Justice Alexander de Moraes ordered X to immediately block user access to the platform in Brazil due to the network switch, or face a daily fine of approximately $921,000. The Brazilian judge described the crackdown on X as part of broader efforts to &#8220;clean up the internet.&#8221;
X stated it had no intention of evading the ban. The company claimed it was forced to switch providers after shutting down its Brazilian operations, which inadvertently restored service temporarily. However, de Moraes cited Musk's cryptic <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1836289127907758312">post</a> on X as a "confession" of deliberate circumvention.
De Moraes initially banned X on Aug. 30 for failing to block accounts spreading misinformation and hate speech. He emphasized the crackdown as part of efforts to "clean up the internet" and protect democracy, following violent attacks on Brazil's capital last year.
Brazil's telecom regulator, Anatel, accused Musk of intentionally defying the court order. They are working with Cloudflare to find a solution to enforce the ban without disrupting other services, according to the report.

Why It Matters: The conflict between Musk and Brazil&#8217;s government has broader implications. On Thursday, the Brazilian Association of Internet and Telecommunications Providers reported that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40932378/elon-musks-x-manages-to-dodge-brazil-ban-with-software-update-court-wants-an-explanation">X managed to dodge the ban</a> using an automatic software update, complicating efforts to block the platform. This maneuver has raised questions about the effectiveness of Brazil&#8217;s regulatory measures.
Earlier in the month, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40748476/fcc-chief-defends-elon-musks-x-and-starlink-amid-brazils-punitive-actions-warns-business-leaders-are">criticized Brazil&#8217;s actions</a>, warning that such punitive measures could make Brazil an &#8220;uninvestable market.&#8221; Carr&#8217;s comments reflect growing concerns among U.S. business leaders about the stability of Brazil&#8217;s regulatory environment.
The situation has also affected Musk&#8217;s other ventures. On Sept. 5, SpaceX <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40723859/spacex-reportedly-evacuates-employees-from-brazil-halts-travel-amid-elon-musks-legal-battle-with-sup">evacuated employees from Brazil </a>and halted travel to the country amid the legal battle. This move underscores the broader impact of the dispute on Musk&#8217;s business operations.
Moreover, experts warned that the standoff could affect other Musk ventures like SpaceX and Tesla Inc. Tim Higgins noted that the ban on X could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40709109/elon-musks-brazil-standoff-for-x-could-impact-tesla-spacex-and-other-ventures-warns-expert">jeopardize Musk&#8217;s business opportunities in Brazil</a>, particularly in rural areas where his ventures have been successful.

For the first half of 2024, Cruise accrued an operating loss of $1.65 billion, 28% higher than the loss of $1.29 billion recorded in the corresponding period of last year. GM also spent $583 million on restructuring Cruise in the period.

The company updated software in all of its vehicles on the road to fix the issue.

GM's Cruise Eyes Resuming Robotaxi Operations In California After Long Pause Due To Pedestrian Accident In 2023

The United States will continue to keep a mid-range missile system in the Philippines, the decision comes despite demands from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39710570/us-has-better-global-image-than-china-survey-reveals">China for its removal</a>.
What Happened: The Typhon missile system, capable of launching missiles that can reach Chinese targets, was initially deployed for joint exercises earlier this year. However, it has remained in place, reported Reuters on Friday, citing sources familiar with the situation.
The Philippines, located near Taiwan, is a crucial part of the U.S. strategy in Asia. The missile system&#8217;s presence is seen as vital for supporting Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack.
China and Russia have criticized the deployment, accusing the U.S. of escalating an arms race. China&#8217;s foreign ministry expressed significant concern over the decision to keep the system in place, stating it threatens regional security.
Philippine officials confirmed ongoing training with the missile system on the northern island of Luzon, near the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, according to the report. They indicated no immediate plans to withdraw the system, even though joint exercises conclude this month.
A senior Philippine government official noted that the U.S. and the Philippines are testing the system&#8217;s feasibility for potential conflict scenarios. 
&#8220;It is up to the higher headquarters to decide on its stay, and most importantly the United States Army Pacific&nbsp;(USARPAC) because they own this, it is not our capability,&#8221; Philippines army spokesman, Colonel Louie Dema-ala said according to the report.

Why It Matters: The decision to retain the missile system in the Philippines comes amid a series of escalating tensions between the U.S. and China. 
Recently, President Joe Biden&#8216;s administration launched an investigation into a significant rise in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40896792/us-probes-surge-in-chinese-uranium-imports-amid-fears-of-russian-ban-evasion">enriched uranium imports from China</a>, suspecting it as a potential loophole for Russia to bypass a U.S. import ban. 
Additionally, key congressional panels have warned that the U.S. is lagging behind China in war preparedness. Lawmakers have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40936105/us-lagging-behind-china-in-war-preparedness-congressional-panels-warn">criticized outdated Pentagon procedures</a> and emphasized the need for faster technology transfers to allies.
Tensions in the South China Sea have also been on the rise. In June, a collision between Chinese and Philippine vessels near the Spratly Islands led to accusations of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39351335/us-ally-slams-chinas-claims-of-vessel-collision-as-deceptive-and-misleading-amid-rising-south-china">deceptive information from Beijing</a>. The Philippine military has previously condemned China&#8217;s actions as illegal within their exclusive economic zone.
Furthermore, a survey by the Pew Research Center revealed that the U.S. enjoys a significantly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39710570/us-has-better-global-image-than-china-survey-reveals">better global image</a> than China in numerous high- and middle-income countries. This perception plays a crucial role in the ongoing geopolitical rivalry between the two nations.

FedEx, Lennar And 3 Stocks To Watch Heading Into Friday

Palantir Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NYSE">PLTR</a>) co-founder, Joe Lonsdale, has expressed his support for Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31810229/elon-musk-bought-twitter-1-year-ago-a-look-back-at-whats-happened-since-and-what-could-be-next">acquisition of</a> Twitter, now rebranded as X.
What Happened: On Thursday, while appearing on CNBC&#8217;s Squawk Box, Lonsdale was asked about Musk&#8217;s sentiments toward his $44 billion purchase of Twitter. 
Lonsdale responded positively, suggesting that Musk&#8217;s acquisition was a crucial step for the preservation of the West.
&#8220;If Elon hadn&#8217;t bought Twitter, if he hadn&#8217;t done this, the entire West would be at 10x the threat,&#8221; he said and went on to underscore the significance of free speech in maintaining our civilization.

When probed about the financial implications of the acquisition, Lonsdale acknowledged a decrease in revenue due to brands pulling their support.
However, he contended that this was a result of illegal coordination and attacks, which he deemed &#8220;probably illegal.&#8221;
he stated that while brands have the right to withdraw their support, behind-the-scenes coordination to damage a company is inappropriate.
Musk also shared the clip from this discussion on X and said, &#8220;Thanks Joe.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s acquisition of Twitter has been fraught with controversy. Just earlier this month, it was reported that X is expected to see a drastic <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40762349/x-faces-major-advertiser-exodus-amid-string-of-elon-musk-controversies">reduction in advertising expenditure</a> in 2025, following a 26% decline in marketers' ad spending on the platform.
Last month, it was reported that since Musk&#8217;s acquisition, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40533138/as-twitters-revenue-collapses-by-84-tesla-bulls-fear-elon-musk-will-liquidate-more-tesla-stock-bring">X&#8217;s revenue has plummeted by 84%</a>. This number also reportedly sparked fears among Tesla investors that Musk might sell more of his Tesla stock to fill the financial gap.
Previously, Meta Platforms Inc's president for global affairs, Nick Clegg, also criticized X for becoming a "tiny" platform for elites that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40852207/meta-exec-slams-elon-musks-x-as-tiny-platform-that-allows-anyone-say-anything">permits anyone to say anything</a>.
He also noted that individuals banned from Meta's platforms like Facebook and Instagram remain active on X and Telegram, and were involved in the far-right protests and riots in Britain last month.
Meanwhile, on Thursday morning, Palantir <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40939510/palantir-stock-hits-52-week-highs-thursday-whats-going-on">shares made a new 52-week high</a>. This development came after the company got a new contract from the U.S. Army worth $99.8 million.
