WATCH: 'Smug' CNN Host Gets Shut Down Over Trump's Project 2025
- 9 minutes
CNN Scott Jennings slammed
over Trump's Project 2025 agenda.
Here it is.
I was sort of taken aback
by the absolute full on attack on Trump.
We've heard it all before.
It sounded a little frantic to me,
to be honest,
this close to the end of the election.
[00:00:16]
I took a few notes.
Again, they're still pushing the lie
about project 2025.
It doesn't matter
how many times she says it.
Donald Trump did not write it.
He has disavowed it.
This is not his agenda.
He has his own campaign agenda.
It is not project 2025.
No, it's agenda. 47,
which is exactly the same as project 2025.
[00:00:32]
And you can say that as many times
as you want, Scott, but it's not true.
So just to say here and say,
I've said this a million times
and it's not his plan.
His plans are.
That is a very smug way
to look at me, my friend.
The thing is, is that what we're doing
is we're talking about
what she's planning for us.
And you're saying 100,000 people.
Or she could draw that anywhere if it was
in Washington, DC. You're totally
[00:00:51]
overlooking what she has done here.
She's brought together 100,000 people
to say, I look forward to the future.
I will be a president for everyone,
and not just for the president,
for the people that I like.
Put up the smug look
she was talking about there.
Alright.
[00:01:06]
Yeah, that's the kind of look that'll
make you upset on any panel right there.
So I understand.
Social media influencer
Lee Mcgowin snapped at CNN senior
political commentator Scott Jennings.
I have no idea how this guy
still has a job at CNN on Tuesday
[00:01:24]
for looking at her in a very small way.
She took issue with Jennings saying,
quote, they're still pushing the lie
about project 2025.
It doesn't matter
how many times she says it.
Donald Trump did not write it.
He has disavowed it.
This is not his agenda.
[00:01:39]
He has his own campaign agenda.
It is not project 2025.
And then she interrupted and said,
no, it's agenda 47,
which is exactly the same as project 2025.
And you can say that as many times
as you want, Scott, but it's not true.
Fact check quickly. She's right.
[00:01:56]
He's wrong. Okay,
now Donald Trump insists
insists that project 2020. 2025
a nearly 1000 page blueprint for a hard
right turn in American government and
society does not reflect his priorities
[00:02:13]
for a white House encore.
Yet from economics,
immigration and education policy
to civil rights and foreign affairs,
there are common ideas
and shared ideology between project 2025
[00:02:29]
and Trump's outline for another term
from his official agenda 47 slate.
The Republican platform
he personally approved for and excuse me,
his other statements.
So this was not the first time
that Jennings has been disrespectful
[00:02:46]
to a fellow panelist.
Remember this.
Why are we letting walls
off the hook here?
I mean.
- I just played the but I mean, but but.
- Like this, this idea.
No. I'm just. He said occasionally.
Occasionally I'll be a knucklehead.
I mean, knucklehead is
a euphemism for a damn liar.
The kind of quote knucklehead.
[00:03:02]
And we can take it to mean
what Scott says is qualitatively different
than a person who is deliberately
deploying lies to create false narratives
that hurt other people,
that have a destructive impact
upon the nation, and that he refuses
[00:03:19]
to be held accountable for.
I'm just curious if Madison
and Scott are disturbed by any lies
that Donald Trump is telling.
You've done an analysis of walls.
Are there any lies that Donald Trump tells
that you are disturbed by?
I don't want any politician to lie. Ever.
I wish they would all
tell a lie all the time.
[00:03:36]
- That was.
- A Kamala Harris.
Evasion. What is a lie that Donald Trump.
First of all, I don't answer to you
and I don't answer to you.
That's number one. Number two is my my.
It is.
It is my sincere.
Well, I don't answer to these two guys.
It's my sincerest hope
that all politicians do the best job.
Wow. Fascinating.
[00:03:52]
He's an actual paid commentator
who does not want to commentate.
Fascinating stuff here.
Steve has a job at CNN
invading people's personal space.
[00:04:08]
That seemed to be threatening.
I think, doc,
you need to pull a Karen on them.
Send a letter to HR. You fear your life.
It's very aggressive. What he did there.
I promise if you would have done that,
doc, that's exactly
what he would have said about you.
Alright.
[00:04:24]
Jennings previously used
the same language on air when pushing back
against CNN commentator Ana Navarro,
who posed a question to him whether
comments made by Trump were racist.
Quote, I'm not going to sit here
and answer for somebody.
[00:04:42]
Quote, and I don't answer to you either.
In 2019, Jennings snapped at a fellow
panelist during a discussion of then
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, Democrat,
saying, quote, don't interrupt me in 2022.
Jennings blew up again when Democratic
strategist Jim Messina accused him
[00:05:02]
of reading Republican talking points.
Quote, do you have a single friend?
You're an absolute jerk.
End quote.
Jennings responded, I don't even know you.
And you come out here and insulted me.
In March, he referred
to Representative Omar as, quote,
[00:05:17]
a public relations agent for Hamas.
Language he referred to
as blatant Islamophobia and racism
in the past several months.
Jennings has said the Democratic Party
is awash in anti-Semitism,
is usually burning American flags,
and doesn't care about political violence.
[00:05:37]
Now I get CNN.
There's a point where I get it, and then
there's a point where I absolutely do not.
This individual is not presenting
a nuanced argument.
He doesn't balance out the stage.
[00:05:52]
He's not someone who provides a balancing
of the various political views.
He's in a cult, and he's representing
the position of a cult leader.
And instead of answering the questions
as everyone else on the panel is required
[00:06:10]
to do per their contract with CNN.
He gets to tell people,
I don't have to answer the damn thing.
Sir, you are literally on staff.
You're not a guest.
You literally get a check
to answer questions.
What kind of privilege is this?
Never seen it before in my life, Jackson.
[00:06:28]
The man actually gets a check to answer
questions and provide a point of view
on behalf of a particular individual,
movement, party, whatever it may be.
And when he doesn't like the question,
he just says, I don't have to answer that.
- Well, that's very Trumpian.
- You know what I mean?
[00:06:45]
Like when, when when Trump did his,
60 minutes interview in 2020,
he's like, I think we're done here.
I think we have enough of an interview.
Right.
Because, because because he was getting
asked, some real questions or whatever.
But first I gotta say CNN,
there's they're so bad.
They have been so bad this election cycle.
[00:07:02]
Their conversations are empty,
unnecessary.
And they always dance around the fact
that Donald Trump is a lunatic.
He's insane. He's a moron.
Everything he says is a lie.
I mean, did this dude will come
in with this on and be like, I've got
on a red sweater right now and then.
[00:07:19]
And then we have to pretend
like this is normal.
I mean, I Donald Trump largely is
where he is because the media treats him
like he's a normal person.
You know, Kamala was just doing
an interview with ABC, and she was
asked something about project 2025.
[00:07:34]
And the interviewer was like,
well, Trump said that he doesn't
have anything to do with it.
And Commonwealth was like,
yeah, Trump says a lot of things.
You know, so but, but but it's yeah,
Scott Jennings did that
because they don't have anything to say.
You know, it's like, oh Kamala cackle.
She laughs too much because objectively
now if Kamala was running against
[00:07:51]
a more normal human being, then these
conversations might make some sense.
But you can't say, oh, Tim Walz,
a knucklehead means you're an abject liar,
but Donald Trump isn't.
It's just,
what are we even talking about here?
That's why, I mean, we're all ready
for the election to be over.
[00:08:07]
And, you know, things keep going.
Well, then Trump's not going to win if
things keep going the way they're going.
But it's just like the Republican Party.
Where's your credibility?
Moving forward? Where is your credibility?
How can you pretend
like you care about anything?
Because it's a cult.
You pointed it out just right.
[00:08:22]
This. This is a cult.
That's all it is.
And those who support it are obviously,
obviously antithetical to democracy.
I cannot believe any longer
that anyone who supports Trump
is actually pro democracy.
Just cannot believe that.
And at this point in the game, for the
Republicans who are actual Republicans,
[00:08:41]
you have to make a decision
to save your party for the future,
because it actually, in an ironic way,
having a strong, sensible, hopefully,
nuanced and ideas Republican party
may actually help Democrats compete
[00:09:00]
in a more authentic way for the votes
inside of the United States of America.
Because right now, due to the insanity
being given by the conservatives
in this country, Democrats will begin to
basically get away with anything and say,
[00:09:16]
well, what are you going to do about it?
Vote for that guy.
