CNN’s Scott Jennings is participating in Trump’s inauguration celebrations, but he did find the time to offer some commentary on his network about how he sees things in national politics right now.

Jennings suggested that Trump is now at the peak of his power, and noted that his popularity is higher now than ever before.

He also used the opportunity to remind his CNN colleagues that Joe Biden and the Democrats lied repeatedly to the American people and that voters knew this.

Partial transcript via Eric Daugherty on Twitter/X:

SCOTT JENNINGS: Trump is now at the peak of his power. Biden’s legacy is giving us Trump 2.0. And he broke his promises: said he would be honest – he wasn’t. He was gonna be moderate – he wasn’t. He was gonna ‘restore the soul of the nation’ – he didn’t. His entire record – it’s gonna be hard to make any comeback.

PANELIST: I’m really proud of the work Biden did for our country.

JENNINGS: I’ve gotta say. I’m on my way to a ball – I think you’ve been out to one already. I’d like to get into whatever you’re drinking.

Jennings got some compliments on his snazzy attire.

The Daily Mail reported:

Scott Jennings wowed liberal CNN with his ‘dapper’ tuxedo in an appearance before he went out to enjoy the festivities surrounding Donald Trump’s inauguration this weekend.

The conservative pundit – affectionately referred to as the ‘black sheep’ of the left-leaning network – was on for multiple segments to debate long-time Democrat strategist Paul Begala Saturday.

As the pair hashed it out with anchor Jessica Dean over Joe Biden’s legacy and Trump’s plan for mass deportations, both Dean and Begala made note of Jennings’ formalwear.

‘Scott, I want to get your thoughts on that but I just looked into the monitor and I saw you’re wearing a tuxedo, I want to get your thoughts on that later as well,’ Dean joked.

Begala chucked and quipped: ‘He’s a handsome devil!’

Jennings was the breakout conservative media star of 2024. If the people who run CNN had any common sense, they’d give Jennings his own primetime show.

TikTok has been officially banned following a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to remove the app’s availability in the United States.

This comes after a Friday decision upholding a law forcing China-owned ByteDance to divest from TikTok by Sunday or face a ban from U.S. app stores.

BREAKING: Supreme Court Upholds TikTok Ban – Biden Won’t Enforce

President Trump previously asked the Supreme Court to pause the ban so his administration could be given “the opportunity to pursue a political resolution of the questions at issue in the case.”

Trump also said in an interview with NBC that he will "likely" give Tiktok a 90-day extension when he takes office.

Per NBC:

“I think that would be, certainly, an option that we look at. The 90-day extension is something that will be most likely done, because it’s appropriate. You know, it’s appropriate. We have to look at it carefully. It’s a very big situation,” Trump said in the phone interview.

“If I decide to do that, I’ll probably announce it on Monday,” he said.

However, on Saturday evening, a TikTok advisory read,

"Important update from TikTok

We regret that a U.S. law banning TikTok will take effect on January 19 and force us to make our services temporarily unavailable.

We're working to restore our service in the U.S. as soon as possible, and we appreciate your support. Please stay tuned."

At approximately 10:30 pm EST, Tiktok announced its services had been terminated. No information was provided for when the app would be discontinued, but most users believed it to be at midnight. Users impacted by this ban may still download TikTok data here.

The latest TikTok notice advises:

"Sorry, TikTok Isn't available right now

A law banning Tiktok has been enacted in the U.S. Unfortunately, that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned!"

This is a developing story.

A fireworks show was held Saturday night at President Trump’s golf course in Sterling, Virginia, located about twenty-five miles from D.C., to celebrate Trump’s second inaugural.

President Trump, First Lady Melania and son Barron arrived at Dulles Airport Saturday evening on Special Air Mission 47 aboard an Air Force C-32 from Palm Beach.

Tech billionaire Mark Pincus announced his support for Trump just days before the 2024 election.

During a recent appearance on the ‘All In’ podcast, Pincus explained what his ‘red pill’ moment was that shifted his outlook and made him publicly announce that he was voting for Trump.

It had a lot to do with a particular lie that has been pushed by Democrats and the media for years. It’s one that all Trump supporters are very familiar with.

Transcript via Kanekoa the Great on Twitter/X:

Tech billionaire and lifelong Democrat Mark Pincus reveals his “Red Pill” moment, sparked by Mike Solana’s Pirate Wires and the “very fine people” hoax, culminating in him voting for Donald Trump.

“I started reading @PirateWires and @micsolana, and I thought he was a little crazy at first because he would write these articles, and one he wrote was about how the Ukrainian soldiers had swastikas on their helmets, and the NYT photographers would ask them to take the swastikas off for photos.”

“I said that can’t be true, and then four months later, it was in the NYT buried in the middle of the paper, and I kept seeing stories like that that he would be early on. So, I started feeling more uncomfortable and queasy with what was going on with mainstream media.”

“Then, in May 2024, I read an article that talked about Trump’s speech in Charlottesville, where he said there are good people on both sides, and the article said it was completely propaganda and didn’t actually reflect what he said. That he denounced the Nazis a bunch of times in his speech, so then I went and watched that video, and that was my red pill moment.”

“I think it was for a lot of people because it wasn’t just the media or politicians spinning it. That speech was one of the pillars of why you were supposed to hate Trump. Then you see Biden say that’s why he had to run a second time, and Obama says it, and Biden brings it up again at the DNC.”

It’s amazing how even though the ‘fine people’ hoax had been debunked repeatedly over the years, the media allowed Biden, Kamala, and Obama to repeat it on the campaign trail over and over again with zero pushback.

Elizabeth Warren and other Democrats are now sending threatening letters to people and companies that donated to Trump’s inauguration.

This is from the same party that has spent the last eight years calling Trump a fascist.

You may also recall that they have no problem with contributions like this when they are made to to Democrats, just Trump.

Hot Air reported:

Democrats Now Threatening People Who Donated to Trump’s Inauguration

Democrats are the political equivalent of mafia bosses who basically run protection rackets.

“Nice company you have there. Shame if something happened to it.”

We saw a lot of this behavior over the past few years. One of the techniques used to bully social media companies into censorship was the use of open (and private) threats to use antitrust laws to break up Meta, Twitter, Google and all the tech companies if they did not comply with demands to suppress the speech of conservatives and, frankly, anybody including dissenting Democrats.

Elizabeth Warren and Michael Bennett are trying the same thing by going after people and companies that contributed to the Trump inaugural.

These contributions are standard practice. Obama took millions of dollars from donors, including the companies Warren and Bennet are targeting. So did Joe Biden, even though all the inaugural hoopla was very muted due to insane COVID policies.

funny, they never sent me one of these for contributing to democrats… pic.twitter.com/xjpanXSb5D

it was a personal contribution as you state; i am confused about the questions given that my company did not make a decision.

Senate Democrats, led by Elizabeth Warren of course, are now sending letters to CEO’s demanding written answers on why they are contributing to Trump and Republicans…

Elizabeth Warren is determined to be the leader of the anti-Trump ‘resistance’ this time around. What does that tell you? She is planning to run again in 2028. That’s what this is likely all about.
