The spectacle that is CNN never fails to provide entertainment, especially when Scott Jennings decides to take on the liberal narrative that permeates the network like a bad smell. Jennings, it appears, is waging a lonely battle against the sea of anti-Trump sentiment that seems to flow through CNN’s veins. While most of his conservative counterparts appear to be playing for the wrong team—either squishy Republicans or outright Trump haters—Jennings delivers the voice of reason in a world gone mad.
Recently, Jennings took the airwaves by storm while discussing the concept of “soft power,” reminding his colleagues that President Trump has been delivering on his promises to cut the bureaucratic fat out of Washington. One would expect their jaws to hit the floor, but instead, CNN’s panel seemed more interested in fawning over liberal talking points. It’s almost comical. The trade war with Mexico and Canada lasted all of a minute and a half before reports started circulating that Trump supposedly “got rolled.” However, those who actually pay attention know that both countries swiftly caved, agreeing to better border measures in exchange for the cessation of tariffs. Clearly, the narrative was a little too rich for the CNN palate.

In a particularly entertaining moment, Jennings schooled Catherine Rampell from the Washington Post, who laughed off serious discussions around the fentanyl crisis that has been exacerbated by open borders. The absurdity of her laughing at such a grave issue highlights the intellectual gymnastics that CNN engages in daily. Jennings pointed out that Canada and Mexico have responsibilities too and need to step up before they become mere spectators in their own backyard.
The confusion continues on the network, with host Abby Phillip questioning why no one seems worried about Elon Musk’s influence on Trump. This is where sanity takes a backseat; claiming that the president isn’t functional while alluding to Elon Musk as some sort of puppet master is a reality distortion that would make even Lewis Carroll raise an eyebrow. Jennings clapped back, noting that Trump is a perfectly capable president and that Musk’s actions are aligned with the goals of the administration. In one fell swoop, Jennings turned what could have been a deep dive into delusion into a striking reality check.
Meanwhile, on the actual ground, it took a mere 48 hours for Mexican officials to give in under the pressure of Trump’s tough talk. After threatening tariffs, they agreed to send 10,000 troops to help curb illegal immigration and the fentanyl crisis. The irony here is thick—Chuck Schumer once lamented that Trump’s tariffs would drive up avocado prices, but it turns out that the real price hike was on the Democrats’ collective dignity. With Mexico folding like a cheap suit, it’s clear the so-called leaders on the left have once again underestimated Trump.
The narrative spun by media outlets like CNN and MSNBC is crumbling before their eyes. Correspondent Ana Cabrera painted a grim picture of America’s future thanks to Trump’s tariffs, only to have to backtrack as facts on the ground revealed that those very tariffs were effective in securing new borders. This is what happens when a staunch commitment to liberal ideology blinds one to reality. As the wind shifts and the conservative ecosystem continues to thrive, one thing is for sure: Jennings’ antics are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the reality check the left so desperately needs.
