This week on CNN, lone conservative Scott Jennings dismantled his fellow panelists, including former MSNBC host Touré Neblett, who were trying to claim that Trump is shredding the Constitution.

Touré kicks it off by suggesting that the goal of DOGE was to shrink the government so that it would be too small to stop Trump. Take a moment and consider what he is saying there. Is it the job of unelected bureaucrats to stop Trump? Why does Trump need to be stopped? These people never seem to take a moment to consider what they are saying or how incredibly stupid it sounds.

Jennings took apart their arguments with simple logic.

Partial transcript via Townhall:

“Can I be real for a moment that DOGE is not about cutting money, right? It’s not about spending. It’s about shrinking government so that it’ll be too small to stop Trump with whatever else is in this plan,” Touré said.

“Why would the government stop Trump? Isn’t he the head of the government?” Jennings asked. “You’re saying the government would be too small to stop Trump. If Trump’s the president, why would the government, the bureaucracy, be actively trying to stop him?”

“Because he is shredding the Constitution,” Touré replied. “And creating an authoritarian dictatorship.”

“Is he?” Jennings asked.

“And no matter who is in office, I am going to hold them accountable, but more importantly, I’m going to make sure the government is working for the American people,” said Alencia Johnson, a former Harris 2024 campaign advisor.

You mean the American people who elected Donald Trump president in 2024?

“Both of you made an interesting point, which is that your view is that Trump is ‘shredding’ the Constitution — I’d like to hear more about that — but that, it seems to me that you all both believe that the unelected part of our government, the bureaucracy, has a responsibility to resist the political leadership. Is that your view?” Jennings asked.

These people just make things up out of thin air then act surprised when their dumb claims are challenged.

Why does CNN even allow it?

A transgender person who was born a male but now identifies as a woman, fled the United States of America for the Netherlands, apparently believing there would be greater freedom there. This same person was recently interviewed and complained about being harassed by Muslim migrants in the Dutch country.

How many times have we seen something like this before?

People on the left who flee the United States of America looking for something better, almost never find what they are seeking. In fact, they usually end up learning a hard lesson about how much better life is in the United States.

John Nolte writes at Breitbart News:

The Dutch town of Ter Apel has a population of just 10,000 and was just sabotaged by its own government.

Over 2,200 asylum seekers were dumped on this town, most of them young, Muslim men. The center used to house asylum seekers tops out at 2,000, so, according to local news reports, “between 40 and 100 asylum seekers have spent their days outside the centre.”

Naturally, this influx of hostile foreigners who are not interested in integrating has deteriorated conditions. Violence has become enough of a problem that the “Red Cross and the Dutch Council for Refugees… have withdrawn their aid workers from the grounds around the Ter Apel asylum reception after rising violence, culminating in two stabbings last week, have left the area too dangerous to continue operating in.”…

“It’s scary. It’s legitimately scary. I decided that my mental health is degrading so substantially, being here, that I just need to get out,” the dude in a dress said. “The situation I have in the U.S. as a trans person — not good, right? — but here I will be hurt or killed.”

So many people on the American left think they are victims of oppression and don’t seem to have the slightest idea of how good that have things here.

Even transgender people in the United States can, for the most part, lead positive, happy lives. The only times that American conservatives really push back is when this ideology is being pushed on children. That’s where most people draw the line.

If you’re an American citizen, you won the international lottery. Be thankful.

Chamath Palihapitiya is an investor who manages a portfolio worth billions of dollars. He also co-hosts the ‘All In’ podcast with David Sacks, Trump’s Bitcoin Czar.

Despite his relationship with Sacks, he was not a fan of President Trump, and now admits that he suffered from Trump Derangement Syndrome.

During an appearance on CNBC this week, he explained how he changed his mind about Trump and offers his story as advice for others.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

CHAMATH PALIHAPITYA: There are enough people that I hear who are lazy and reductive, and they’re going to end up where they’re supposed to end up—in a little cul-de-sac of their own making.

The reality is that most of us were lied to by the media about President Trump. If you just go back to the source material, you should take away two things.

One, he didn’t say half the things they said he said.

Two, why did these other people just fabricate what they wanted to say so that they could essentially assassinate his character?

I think that second thing is completely unacceptable in America, and there have still been no repercussions, really.

I took the time to learn about it. I admitted on the pod—which has millions of viewers—that I got it totally wrong, because I went and watched Charlottesville.

The first person to call me was President Trump. I got to know him, and when I put the phone down, I called my wife and said, “We got it totally, totally wrong. We were lied to.”

Then I got to know him, and he is fantastic.

This is one of the most important moments ever aired on CNBC.

People simply need to be rational and reasonable. It’s not that difficult.

Hopefully, Mr. Palihapitiya can serve as an example to others.

One person is dead and two others are missing after a pontoon boat capsized near Alcatraz Island.

A total of 19 people were aboard the pontoon boat when it caught fire and capsized.

16 people were rescued, according to authorities.

Rescue efforts are still underway for the two missing passengers.

WATCH:

Fox News reported:

One person is dead, two people remain missing and 16 others were rescued Tuesday after a pontoon boat capsized near Alcatraz Island off the coast of San Francisco, authorities said.

San Francisco Fire Chief Dean Crispin said during a news conference that 19 people were aboard the vessel. Thirteen survivors made it safely to shore, while three others were transported to a hospital.

One of the people pulled from the water received CPR and was later pronounced dead, Crispin said.

Crispin described the vessel as a three-deck pontoon boat that was roughly 600 yards from Alcatraz Island when the boat capsized.

Crispin said the San Francisco Fire Department initially responded to a report of a vessel fire around 3:35 p.m., but crews instead found a capsized boat. He later said there was no evidence of a fire.

Authorities, including the U.S. Coast Guard, have 11 vessels, divers and helicopters searching for the two missing people, Crispin said.

“It’s a very active scene,” he said, adding that the search would likely continue into the evening.

UPDATE: US Central Command released new video footage from strikes against Iran. The Tuesday round of strikes lasted approximately seven hours and hit “dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

CENTCOM said in in a press release,

TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) completed an additional round of strikes against Iran at 10 p.m. ET, July 14, hitting dozens of military targets near the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian coastal areas.

U.S. fighter aircraft, drones, and naval vessels launched precision munitions against Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and coastal defense systems during the seven-hour wave to further degrade Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping and civilian crews.

The strikes took place the same day U.S. forces resumed the naval blockade against vessels transiting to or from Iranian ports and coastal areas. The blockade went into effect at 4 p.m. ET today.

U.S. forces remain vigilant, lethal, and prepared to execute operations directed by the Commander in Chief.

US forces launched another round of strikes against Iran on Tuesday afternoon, marking four consecutive days of attacks, just one hour before the US Navy blockade against Iran started. 

US Central Command announced that the strikes began at 3 pm ET “as American forces prepare to resume the naval blockade against Iranian ports and coastal areas.”

At 3 p.m. ET today, U.S. Central Command forces began launching an additional round of strikes against Iran to continue degrading Iranian capabilities used to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

President Trump previously declared that the ceasefire with Iran is “over” last week before launching multiple strikes, including a 5-hour-long mission on Monday.

Before this, the US executed strikes throughout the weekend after Iran targeted another commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday.

Trump also announced on Monday that he’s resuming the blockade on Monday.

The President told Fox News earlier, “We’re taking over the Strait. They have nothing. They’ve got nothing. They’re professional negotiators. That’s all they are. I don’t even call them good at it. They haven’t gotten anything. They’ve got nothing from me.”

“But if you look for 47 years, they’ve been tapping people along, Presidents. Every president got tapped along, didn’t do anything, and they became more and more powerful,” the President added.
