Train Wreck On CNN After Scott Jennings Speaks Logically!

James Calkman, The World News Report, today, February 12th, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Everything blows up on CNN after Scott Jennings speaks logically. CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings was not having it when network host Abby Phillips tried to speak condescendingly to him. Monday night, while discussing federal judges blocking President Donald Trump's executive orders, these judges are shocked. Trump ordered a freeze on issuing federal government grants so spending could be reviewed for fraud and waste. Obama appointed U.S. District Court Judge John McConnell of Rhode Island. Then directed the administration to immediately restore frozen funding across the federal government. Further, he ruled Monday that the administration was not fully in compliance with his order and threatened criminal contempt judgments to officials who did not comply according to Politico. Well, I think there's a difference between saying whether you're complying with the law and then you have these individual district court judges setting effectively broad federal policy that is specifically reserved for the president of the United States. I think we do have a constitutional crisis, and it's being caused by these judges. They're not here to tell us how to spend the money. They're not here to set broad federal policy. That is the president's job as elected by the people. These judges are supposed to be settling discrete, specific matters. Not policy-setting, I think Vance is right, I think Trump has a point, and these judges want nothing more to continue the law theory. I don't think anybody's executive branch is saying, no, I don't feel like it, and the courts say, you have to... Well, my answer to that simply is... It is the executive branch's job to figure out how to spend money once it is appropriated by Congress and sometimes they spend money that's not been appropriated, but the correct political control is between the executive and the Congress, not some random piracy act. I get it. You want individual federal judges who hate Donald Trump to tie him up for four years. If you want big policy questions, decide it. Let the Supreme Court do it, but in the interim, the executive has to be allowed to go. Am I wrong about that? You're supposed to comply, but Scott's absolutely right in that the court cannot say you have to spend these dollars today. So, as a governor, I dealt with this. We've got things challenged in state court and federal court. It's all judge-shopped, by the way. Judges don't randomly get these cases. There's a reason that these cases are filed in Boston, the Boston court, or a certain district, Rhode Island, because they know they're going to get a judge. That's the right point. Should the president, this sitting US president, should he have to share the presidency with 300 district court judges? No, absolutely not. But the point, though, you made a really good point, But there have been judges that shut down some of President Biden's executive actions, and they understand. the Biden administration understood that he needs to check some balances The Supreme Court tried to stop him, but they never will. Who said that? Who still has? Who said that? Who said that? Joe Biden. Joe Biden. He actually didn't ignore it. He did. No, let me, let me stop. He actually got deep into the issue, I needed the forgiveness. Yeah, what did he say about that I thought it was a ridiculous policy, I thought it was unconstitutional, I predicted it would get struck down, it did get struck down, and I applauded it. He did not ignore it, though. He went and tried under a different law. So he ignored it. No, he didn't ignore it. He didn't try to ignore it. He tried to do it. He tried to do it. But let me just understand where you stand. If a district court judge... Rules in a way that the president dislikes. Should the president listen or should the president defy? If a district court judge tries to usurp the authority of the... Uh, chief executive of this country, he should absolutely defy it. There's a difference between broad policy decisions and discrete disputes between parties. That's the difference. If I want a policy decided, I'll take the decision. But what about checks and balances? So you're saying that a judge should decide how and when money is spent for years and not the president of the United States? Let me explain it a little bit more slowly. A judge is saying... You don't have to talk to me like that. Congress... I have a position on this. And you have an opinion, we can discuss Yeah, but I'm saying, listen to me, because you're not listening, and you're making claims that are not connected to the facts. The judge is saying... Maybe you... Congress appropriated a certain amount of money. Yeah. we need to litigate this Okay. While we litigate this... We're going to put a hold on the actions that you took that might be unconstitutional. So while we litigate, while we litigate, there's not a judge, and I'm in charge of the executive branch, and you're not, forget it. I totally disagree. You just can't compel the executive branch to spend the dollars. You can't do that. They can't say we're going to start. Have you heard of the empowerment? Have you heard the empowerment? No matter who the president is, the duly elected chief executive of this country, they should not be sharing the broad plenary powers of the presidency. With 300 individual district court judges, that is not what the people want. That is a great position to take when you are in power. Yeah, but I don't believe in power. District court judges are different from the Supreme Court. That got ridiculous, ladies and gentlemen. So all the women on the panel believe that the judges should be in charge of Donald Trump's policies. And all the men on the panel believe that... Well, the judges are there for specific disputes, not to dictate the executive branch's office. Trump was given a mandate by the people. He's trying, trying to follow it. But again, they're shopping these liberal nutcase judges all around the country until they find just one. Who will attempt to block any and every executive order Donald Trump has put together. This has turned into a complete nightmare. Of course, anything the Democrats are involved with turns into a complete nightmare. Please share, subscribe, and always remember, anything's possible.
