CNN&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/scott-jennings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Scott Jennings</a> said on Wednesday that watching the picks that President-elect Donald Trump has selected for his new administration have made the current transition &#8220;the most entertaining&#8221; one that he has ever seen.
Jennings made the remarks on the network&#8217;s &#8220;News Central&#8221; show as Trump made a slew of announcements late in the afternoon, including Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for U.S. Attorney General.
“Are you not entertained?” Jennings asked. “I mean, this is the most entertaining transition I’ve ever seen. I was as surprised as Paula because it was not a name we have seen. We have seen some reporting, a lot of different names, frankly a lot of sort of well-heeled Washington legal types that were on the list. So, I’m as surprised as anyone.”
&#8220;But what I take away from this is that this is a president-elect who is feeling his power,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;This is someone who is appointing people to things, whether it is Gaetz or anyone else we have seen today, who is feeling his influence, doesn’t feel like he’s in a mood to negotiate with people in Washington, D.C. He’s here to do what he wants to do, and he is going to expect the Republicans to fall in line.”
Jennings noted that Trump&#8217;s picks will have to go through confirmation hearings to &#8220;prove themselves like anyone else.&#8221;

&#8220;But it is apparent to me that Trump is in a decisive mood and is not interested in picking things he would consider to be watered-down,&#8221; he added.

Sen. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ted-cruz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ted Cruz</a> (R-TX) mocked Vice President Kamala Harris this week over her failed presidential campaign, saying that it was like the Fyre Festival.
Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about the disastrous campaign that Harris ran, including how her campaign ended up $20 million in debt.
&#8220;Kamala Harris ran the Fyre Festival of campaigns, and it points out that Trump&#8217;s campaign spent roughly $488 million, and Kamala spent more than a billion,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;So, she outspent Trump more than two-to-one, and Kamala campaign ended up $20 million in debt.&#8221;
The Fyre Festival is the name of a hyped festival that was supposed to take place in 2017 that ended up falling so far below what was expected that the term &#8220;Frye Festival&#8221; is now a meme for something that is an epic disaster.
&#8220;Where did that money go? Well, one of the things that it went to is they paid many of [the] &#8216;celebrities&#8217; who supported her,&#8221; Cruz noted, adding that they were given &#8220;significant sums&#8221; of money.

&#8220;Look, I&#8217;m a fiscal conservative, damn it,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;If you want to be there and you believe in saving the country, stand up and save the country, and if not, get the hell out.&#8221;
&#8220;Like, what is it with these lefties who, ironically, they want to put socialists in office who make it impossible for people to earn a living, and yet they&#8217;re such capitalists that they&#8217;re like, show me the money to do it. I mean, there is an intense hypocrisy on this,&#8221; he added.

President-elect <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/donald-trump" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump&#8217;s</a> border czar, Tom Homan, said during an interview on Tuesday that he has received &#8220;thousands&#8221; of messages from former border and immigration officials who want to return now that a pro-law enforcement administration is getting ready to come back into power.
Homan made the remarks during an interview with David Webb on SiriusXM’s “The David Webb Show” when asked about what additional government resources he needs to carry out Trump&#8217;s proposed mass deportations.
&#8220;A lot of guys retired early or left because they weren&#8217;t able to do the job they took an oath to do,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So we need more manpower. DOD has helped several administrations on the border. They could be a force multiplier.&#8221;
He noted that using manpower from the Pentagon does not mean that he will be sending the military into U.S. cities and arresting people.
&#8220;The DOD could be used to help relieve law enforcement officers from administrative duties so they can get on the street and do what they&#8217;re supposed to be doing,&#8221; he said. &#8220;For instance, DOD could help with transportation. They could help ground transportation, they could help with air flights out. They can help with infrastructure building. They could help with intelligence. Things that don&#8217;t require immigration authority. So if DOD can help me, great. Other agencies, we&#8217;d love their help.&#8221;

He said that it was unfortunate that Democrat governors were already digging in to shield illegal aliens from having to face U.S. law enforcement.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand what city or state would not want to assist in removing public safety threats from their community, removing national security threats from their community,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I&#8217;ll tell you this, if they don&#8217;t want to help us, just get the hell outta the way. Because we&#8217;re going to do it. You&#8217;re not going to stop us. It&#8217;d be great if law enforcement would work with law enforcement.&#8221;
He said that in just the last two days, he has received &#8220;thousands of texts and emails from retired border patrol agents, retired ICE agents, retired police officers, guys that just got outta the military that want to come help.&#8221;
&#8220;And so we gotta see what we can do about bringing some more people on board,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And that&#8217;s all gonna depend on what kind of money we get when we get in there. But, you know, we&#8217;re gonna do the job. Despite the hate, we&#8217;re going do the job. Despite the resistance, we&#8217;re gonna do the job. Despite the roadblocks, we&#8217;re gonna do the job. You&#8217;re not gonna stop us. So either join us or get out of our way.&#8221;

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/houthis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Houthi</a> terrorist organization announced on Tuesday that it launched attacks against U.S. warships that were transiting the Bab el Mandeb strait.
Pentagon press secretary Air Force Major Gen Pat Ryder told reporters during a press conference that &#8220;the Arleigh Burke class guided missile destroyer, USS Stockdale and USS Spruance were attacked by at least eight one-way attack uncrewed Aerial systems, five anti-ship ballistic missiles and three anti-ship cruise missiles which were successfully engaged and defeated.&#8221;
There was no damage to the ships and no personnel were hurt, he said.
The attacks from the Houthis came after U.S. forces conducted several precision airstrikes against facilities used by the Iranian-backed terrorist group in Yemen over the weekend.
<a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</a>
&#8220;These facilities housed a variety of advanced conventional weapons used by the Iran backed Houthis to target U.S. and international military and civilian vessels navigating international waters in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,&#8221; Ryder said. &#8220;The operation involved US Air Force and US Navy assets to include F-35C fighter aircraft.&#8221;

The Houthis claimed in a statement that they targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier with cruise missiles and drones and claimed that the attack was successful, even though there was zero evidence supporting its claims.
The terrorist group also claimed that it successfully attacked the two destroyers despite there again being no proof to support its claims.

President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s new border czar signaled to Democrat governors attempting to protect illegal aliens in their states that if they won&#8217;t comply with the federal government then they need to move out of the way and not obstruct removal proceedings.
Tom Homan, who served as Trump&#8217;s acting director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during his first term in office, made the remarks during a Fox News interview on Monday.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve been on this network for years complaining about what this administration did to this border. I&#8217;ve been yelling and screaming about it and what they need to do to fix it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So when the president asked me, ‘Would you come back and fix it?’ Of course. I&#8217;d be a hypocrite if I didn&#8217;t. I&#8217;m honored the president asked me to come back and help solve this national security crisis, so I&#8217;m looking forward to it.&#8221;
He said that he would love to work with local law enforcement agencies to get the people removed that need to go.
&#8220;I&#8217;ve seen some of these Democratic governors say they are going to stand in the way, they&#8217;re going to make it hard for us,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I suggest, if you&#8217;re not going to help us, get the hell out of the way — because we’re gonna do it.&#8221;
&#8220;If we can&#8217;t get assistance from New York City, we may have to double the number of agents we send to New York City,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Because we&#8217;re going to do the job, we&#8217;re going to do it with you or without you.&#8221;

Trump’s Border Czar To Dem Governors Shielding Illegals: ‘Get The Hell Out Of The Way’

border security

A former Trump campaign official triggered a CNN commentator this week over the subject of mass deportations and Latinos realigning with the Republican Party during last week&#8217;s elections.
Giancarlo Sopo, who led Trump’s 2020 campaign efforts for Spanish language media, said Monday on &#8220;CNN News Central&#8221; that polls found that illegal immigration was one of the top reasons that Latinos voted against Vice President Kamala Harris during the election.
&#8220;We simply cannot have millions of people rolling around this country who have been unvetted, many of whom have criminal backgrounds,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I agree, most of them do just come here to work and they want a better life, but we don&#8217;t know that because we don&#8217;t know who they are.&#8221;
He added that he does not anticipate any kind of major backlash to border enforcement and removal proceedings.
CNN&#8217;s Maria Cardona lashed out, claiming that the Latino community was going to go through &#8220;incredible pain and cruelty.&#8221;
&#8220;That is not what anyone voted for,&#8221; she claimed. &#8220;And in fact, I will tell the American electorate, if the administration, if the incoming Trump administration goes through this, here&#8217;s the people that they&#8217;ll go after. They&#8217;re going after your kids’ classmates. They&#8217;re going after your delivery guy. They&#8217;re going after the people who take care of your kids. They&#8217;ll go after the people who work in restaurants. They&#8217;ll go after the business owners in your community. They&#8217;ll go after the people who live and work and who own the farmer&#8217;s markets that you love going to on weekends.&#8221;
She claimed that Trump&#8217;s &#8220;CEO friends&#8221; would &#8220;go crazy&#8221; if they did not have anyone to &#8220;pick fruits and vegetables.&#8221;

Sopo later added that the Latino community was &#8220;sick and tired&#8221; of D.C. elites pulling at their heartstrings, &#8220;saying that the murders of people like Laken Riley, though tragic, are just part of being a generous society.&#8221;
&#8220;We&#8217;re telling people loud and clear, you do not speak on our behalf,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And these Hispanic groups, these are the same people that in — just a couple years ago, encouraged their party to call us Latinx.&#8221;
Cardona claimed that was &#8220;not true.&#8221;
&#8220;Yes, Joe Biden apologized for calling Laken Riley’s murderer an illegal immigrant,&#8221; Sopo fired back. &#8220;Not a single Hispanic — not one — was offended by that. These groups do not speak for our community. They are way to the left of your average Latino. We&#8217;re not worried about pronouns. We are worried about prosperity.”

Former Trump Official Triggers CNN Commentator Over Mass Deportations

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that there will be &#8220;severe consequences&#8221; for Iran once President-elect Donald Trump takes office because of their attempts to assassinate him.
Cruz made the remarks during the most recent episode of his &#8220;Verdict&#8221; podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while discussing last week&#8217;s elections.
&#8220;Election Day was a fantastic day for America. It was a fantastic day for everyone who wants to see jobs, who wants to see border security, who wants to see national security enhanced,&#8221; Cruz said. &#8220;But it was a terrible, terrible day for the Ayatollah and the Iranian mullahs.&#8221;
The Texas senator, who won re-election last week for another six-year term, said that the Biden-Harris was not only responsible for Iran&#8217;s increased aggression, they also paid for it by not enforcing sanctions.
&#8220;The Trump administration is going to cut off the money,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s going to be the beginning and I expect serious consequences for Iran repeatedly trying to murder President Trump. I don&#8217;t know what those consequences will be, but I guarantee you, the Ayatollah and the mullahs are deeply, deeply worried and scared.&#8221;
He also called out the Department of Justice for not disclosing the most recent plot from Iran until after Election Day.
&#8220;Look, DOJ has long-standing rules that you&#8217;re not supposed to do anything to interfere in an election,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I would say that that foiling an assassination attempt by a foreign government is not DOJ doing something to interfere with an election.&#8221;
He said that the public had a right to know about the plot for the election and that their decision to bury it was an attempt to not help Trump on Election Day.

Charlamagne tha God said that Democrats only had themselves to blame for their losses in last week&#8217;s elections.
He made the remarks during a Sunday ABC News interview with Jonathan Karl on &#8220;This Week.&#8221;
Charlamagne expressed shock after learning that one-third of minorities voted for President-elect Donald Trump in the election.
&#8220;I think some of this is a backlash to race and gender and identity politics,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But, man, most people, they just care about keeping food on the table and keeping a roof over their head. And I think sometimes people forget about that.&#8221;
&#8220;I think that they forget about, you know, the working class,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And I, for whatever reason, Donald Trump speaks to the grievances of the working class in a real way. And I keep telling folks, people forget what you did, they&#8217;ll forget what you said, but they&#8217;ll never forget how you made them feel.&#8221;

He said that the reason that Trump saw gains across the board was because of dinner table issues.
&#8220;It&#8217;s literally that simple,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Every day people wake up and all they want to do is have more money in their pocket and they want to feel safe. I don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re black, white, gay, straight, whatever religion you are, those are the two things that you&#8217;re thinking about every day. How can I keep some money in my pocket and how can I stay safe?&#8221;
&#8220;I was having conversations with folks and they was telling me, &#8216;my God, these gangs are coming into our neighborhood. And I know it&#8217;s because of the border. We&#8217;ve got to close the border,'&#8221; he continued. &#8220;They were having these conversations. And I told you, Jon, this was the first time in my life that I heard people in my community, black people, brown people, having those conversations. So that was going to be an issue.

Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) on Sunday outlined what Senate Republicans will aim to do during President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s second term.
Barrasso made the remarks during an interview with NBC News&#8217; Kristen Welker on &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; while recapping Trump&#8217;s victory last week.
&#8220;The biggest comeback, politically, in the history of our country,&#8221; Barrasso said. &#8220;You know, they used to call Bill Clinton &#8216;the comeback kid.&#8217; Donald Trump is the comeback king. He has come back from two impeachments, from being dragged through the courts, from getting shot and he won with over 300 electoral votes, a majority of the people, winning all these demographic areas.&#8221;
He said that Republicans would immediately focus on fighting high costs and closing the southern border.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve been working with the transition team on those things,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now, there are some things that the president can do as soon as he takes office, in terms of making some U-turns on these bad policies of the current administration, in terms of unleashing American energy, in terms of the policies with the border, reversing so many of these executive orders that were put in place four years ago.&#8221;

&#8220;I expect to see the president put back in place the Remain in Mexico policy, stop this catch-and-release policy,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And the Senate also wants to work very quickly &#8212; actually, before the inauguration &#8212; on making sure the president&#8217;s Cabinet is in place. We&#8217;re going to have hearings and votes so that on Day One, January 20, when the president takes over, he&#8217;s going to have as much of the Cabinet in place as we can get.&#8221;
&#8220;And he met huge resistance in 2016 and when he was inaugurated in 2017 with getting his Cabinet in place,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;What I&#8217;m hoping is that as a result of this huge landslide victory, that we get a little more cooperation from the Democrats in helping President Trump get that Cabinet in place for Day One.&#8221;

Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) signaled during an interview over the weekend that President-elect Donald Trump will once again put the clamps on Iran as he did during his first term in office.
Hagerty made the remarks during a Sunday CBS News interview with Margaret Brennan on &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; while talking about what Trump&#8217;s foreign policy will look like.
&#8220;Iran, we had them shut down,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Iran was broke. Now they&#8217;re able to fund terror all over the world. We had a maximum pressure campaign.&#8221;
He noted that they were not able to do business with other foreign adversaries during Trump&#8217;s first term.
&#8220;They were not able to do that under the Trump administration,&#8221; he said. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we saw peace breaking out in the Middle East. Without Iran being shut down, which is what we did under the maximum pressure campaign – President Trump led this.&#8221;
&#8220;We were able to move our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Everybody said it couldn&#8217;t happen. It did,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The Abraham Accords. Peace was breaking out in the Middle East because Iran could not fund terror.&#8221;
He noted that the likelihood of Israel getting the hostages back from Hamas has increased because the terrorist organization realizes it&#8217;s no longer going to get a free pass like it did under President Joe Biden.
&#8220;It seems that the entire environment is shifting right now,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Because they see new leadership coming in. And I&#8217;m encouraged by that, and I think we&#8217;ll have new opportunities to – again, President Trump was able to deliver peace through strength.&#8221;
&#8220;I think that&#8217;s on the way, and I&#8217;m optimistic what it might lead to,&#8221; he continued.
He said that Trump would &#8220;focus on the root cause&#8221; of the problems in the Middle East, which he noted was Iran.

Jamal Simmons, a former communications director for Kamala Harris, said during an interview over the weekend that President Joe Biden should resign so that Vice President Kamala Harris can be president.
Simmons made the remarks during a Sunday interview on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; while discussing Harris&#8217; loss to President-elect Donald Trump last week.
&#8220;Joe Biden&#8217;s been a phenomenal president,&#8221; he claimed. &#8220;He&#8217;s lived up to so many of the promises he&#8217;s made. There&#8217;s one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure. He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris the president of the United States.&#8221;
&#8220;It would absolve him from having to oversee the January 6 transition, right, of her own defeat,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;And it would make sure that — it would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public want to see.&#8221;
&#8220;This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate,&#8221; he added.
Simmons also suggested that Harris could potentially be nominated to the Supreme Court.
&#8220;Well, the Supreme Court might happen,&#8221; he claimed. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if it will, but I think this is something that&#8217;s in Joe Biden&#8217;s control.&#8221;
&#8220;And if he did it, it would — again, it would fulfill his promise, his last promise,&#8221; he added. &#8220;It would give Kamala Harris the chance to be the 47th president of the United States of America. It would disrupt all of Donald Trump&#8217;s paraphernalia, right? He would have to rebrand everything.&#8221;

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said during an interview over the weekend that some of President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s top supporters, who in the past were not Republicans, came together to support him over the issue of free speech.
Jordan made the remarks during a Sunday CNN interview with Dana Bash on &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; while discussing what actions Trump might take in his second term in office.
&#8220;He&#8217;s going to secure the border,&#8221; Jordan said. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s going to get rid of this crazy inflation that&#8217;s hurting middle-class and working-class families, hurting our economy. I think he&#8217;s going to get back to commonsense energy policy. I think he&#8217;s going to focus on protecting the First Amendment.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, think about this: Did you ever think you would see Donald Trump, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard on the same team?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;They&#8217;re on the same team because people — because of the attack on free speech, the attack on the First Amendment. He&#8217;s going to focus on those things that the American people elected him to do.&#8221;
&#8220;It&#8217;s no accident that those four people came together,&#8221; he added. &#8220;All because of the attacks on the First Amendment, on free speech.&#8221;
