Trump, Harris Both Take Campaign to Fox News
Former President Trump and Vice President Harris appeared on Fox News on Wednesday, with Trump aiming to improve his support among female voters in a female-focused town hall and Harris seeking to appeal to moderate Republicans.
Women in the audience described Trump’s appearance at the town hall as “warm,” “friendly,” and the opposite of the person portrayed in the media. You can see their reactions here.
Harris participated in a tense 30-minute interview with host Bret Baier, who said afterward that she relied on prepared talking points, leading to frequent interruptions as he tried to steer the conversation in a different direction.
During the interview, her first formal sit-down with the cable news channel, Baier and Harris sparred over her positions on immigration, sex-changing surgery for prisoners, and foreign policy.

Ending Tomorrow: One Giant Leap for AI
The move from prototype to commercial product is a critical step for any startup. It’s a sign that they’ve proven their tech, their customers want it, and they can now start making money. That’s exactly what’s happening with Miso Robotics. And unlike most successful startups that make this transition, until midnight tomorrow, you can invest in Miso at this pivotal moment.
Miso’s honed Flippy, their AI-powered kitchen robot, at the fry station of some of the world’s top fast food brands, including CaliExpress and Jack in the Box. Backed by 150,000+ hours of training data in live kitchens and collaborations with Nvidia and Amazon, Miso just launched the commercial-ready Flippy Next Gen robot. It’s smaller, faster, and smarter than its predecessor, making it tailor-made for today’s fast food kitchens. That’s why its first production run just sold out in only seven days. And that’s just the start. White Castle even expressed interest in rolling Flippy out to 100 locations.
Now, Miso is ready to begin selling to 170 brands and 100,000+ fast food locations desperate for an automation solution. That’s a $4B recurring revenue opportunity for Miso. Invest in Miso before the opportunity ends tomorrow at midnight PST.

Remember When Humans Did That?
Working the local burger joint’s fryer is a tough job. Between the grease burns and long hours, it’s getting harder and harder for fast-food restaurants to staff their kitchens. In fact, around 3M jobs are expected to go unfilled in the U.S. alone.
Miso has a solution: its AI-powered robot, Flippy, has mastered the deep fryer. That’s why it’s worked more than 150k hours in real-world kitchens for brands like Jack in the Box. Now, Miso just released the newest Flippy, its smallest, smartest, fastest fry station robot yet. Industry buyers are excited, too—initial units sold out in just 7 days. And that’s just the start. White Castle even expressed interest in rolling Flippy out to 100 locations.
170+ US fast food brands need automation—a $4B annual revenue opportunity. Become a Miso shareholder before the opportunity ends tomorrow at midnight.
