CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings got into a brief dust-up with guest host Audie Cornish on Tuesday, after she implied that her compassion for Jordan Neely was rooted in her Christianity rather than her political beliefs. The conversation came about in reaction to Monday’s not guilty verdict in the New York-based case against Marine Corps veteran Daniel Penny, who subdued a violent and threatening Neely using a choke hold. Though Neely was alive when police first arrived on the scene, he later died, and Penny was charged in relation to his death. GOP strategist @ScottJenningsKY didn't hold back when Audie Cornish invoked religion to call Jordan Neely a victim. @DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/ZCOC7QuBot — Harold Hutchison (@HaroldHutchison) December 11, 2024 The discussion began with guest Geraldo Rivera, who argued that the case against Penny had been political from the start. Cornish interrupted him, asking what he would say “to the parents of a victim who dies in this circumstance,” suggesting that Neely — who, by multiple accounts, had been threatening other subway passengers and behaving erratically before Penny and at least one other passenger stepped in to stop him. “You keep referring to Neely as the victim,” Jennings said then, adding, “I think Penny is the victim in this case, and I think the people on the train are the victims.” CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE “I have a tendency to call the people who die a victim,” Cornish interjected. “We have different ideas about that. But to my mind, someone lost a child and I’m always going to feel for that person — that’s just how I’m built, it’s like a Christian thing. But the reason why I’m asking —” “Are you saying I’m not a Christian?” Jennings pushed back. “Is that your assertion?” “I’m not at all,” Cornish back-pedaled. “I just want to make sure that you understand it’s a values-based comment, not a political one.” Jennings pushed back again: “Are you saying I don’t have any values?” The rest of the panel jumped in to defend Cornish, telling Jennings that was not what she meant. “He needs a clip for the internet,” Cornish claimed, turning to smile directly at the camera. Rivera rounded out the discussion, noting that it was important to remember that everyone has family, but that Neely being someone’s son did not make him an innocent in the situation at hand.

I used to enjoy Bill Burr’s work. On occasion, I still do. He’s a comedian, which means he’s very hit or miss. Once upon a time, I was such a fan that I actually bought tickets for me, my wife, and two of my friends to go see him. It turned out to be one of the worst shows I have ever seen in my life because Burr has become woke. Over time, I think he became embarrassed that many people on the Right thought he was very funny, so he decided he was going to go woke. The show I saw was so bad that he got frustrated with the audience. The audience was not laughing at his jokes because his jokes were basically about how Floridians were a bunch of anti-gay racists. And Floridians reacted badly because that’s not true. There are a lot of gay people who live in Florida and many Hispanics, blacks, and Jews live there as well. He ended up cutting his show early and walking off the stage. The reason was, he was totally disconnected from the audience. That disconnect has continued. Not long ago, he appeared on Bill Maher’s show where he declared solidarity with the pro-Hamas students on campuses. Now, he is proclaiming he is very happy that CEOs are walking around in fear for their lives. We tend to give comedians more leeway to say edgy things because they’re trying to be funny. WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show But it’s not clear to me that Burr is attempting to be funny. This week, he explained that he is perfectly fine with CEOs having to live with full-time security because they fear they might be shot. Because, after all, they are murderers too. Burr openly cheered the murder of the UnitedHealthcare executive because he says CEOs should live in fear if they don’t act in the way that he would have them act — in a system that he has no fixes for, by the way. He stated: You know what’s annoying me about this kid who killed this CEO? None of these news programs are talking about the incredible lack of empathy from the general public about this because of how these insurance companies treat people when they at their most vulnerable, after we’ve all given them our money every f***ing month, and now we finally need you and all you do is deny us… You know, I gotta be honest with you, OK? I love that f***ing CEOs are fucking afraid right now. You should be! By and large, you’re all a bunch of selfish greedy f***ing pieces of s***; and a lot of you are mass murderers. You just don’t pull the trigger. That’s why it looks clean. What he said is truly evil. He’s saying you should live in fear if you’re the CEO of a company that does things that Burr deems to be bad or wrong. Now, we have laws on the books, for example, that prevent crimes like fraud and embezzlement. We have laws on the books that punish criminal activity. If you don’t like the system, and many people don’t, the proper response to that system would be legislation. In a democratic republic, the way to fix problems is to have open discussions of the details of those problems and then craft regulatory or legal fixes. You do not say that it is a good thing that CEOs should live in fear of their lives because Burr deems them morally inferior. Bill Burr’s blue collar class routine act is a bunch of horses***. The man is worth $14 million, and he makes his money creating crap movies for Netflix at this point. If we’re going to have a functioning country, you can’t justify the murder of people who run their businesses legally in ways with which you disagree. It is one thing to disagree with executives. You can call them whatever you want. But to start justifying that they should live in fear or suggesting that they should be murdered? What is the limiting principle here? The alleged shooter in this case was echoing Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber. The Unabomber suggested that if you were, for example, an oil executive, maybe you should be murdered, because after all, there were externalities to the oil industry. Why not the banking industry? Maybe Burr doesn’t like the banks. After all, that bank denied grandma her loan. So, with his logic, maybe the CEO of the bank should be tracked down and murdered. This is full-stop evil. It is evil. I don’t care what complaints exist with the health insurance company, the notion that the solution to those complaints is the murder of the executives is sick. If you were living in a tyrannical society with no legal correctives or alternatives in terms of Medicaid — which does exist — and no alternatives in terms of other health insurance programs, then an argument could be made for there to be a full-scale monarchic tyranny. But that’s not the system in which we live. And promulgating that lie leads to greater violence. It leads to justification of all violence. It’s not just Bill Burr. It is also Jimmy Kimmel, who decided last night to devote an entire segment celebrating the good looks of the alleged shooter. He said, So many women and so many men are going nuts over how good-looking this killer is. There’s a huge wave of horny washing over us right now. It’s like when one of the guys you work with says, ‘I had a dream about you last night.’ When it’s the FedEx guy with the big muscles and the rolled-up sleeves, you’re like, ‘Ohh.’ But if it’s the bald IT guy wearing Crocs with black socks, you’re on the phone with HR. He continued: It’s kinda that same dynamic. … I have never experienced anything like this. These are screengrabs of actual exchanges between our members of our staff and their friends, relatives, whatever. I’ve changed the names to protect the guilty. Lorraine C. asks, “Do you guys think the United Health Care Co killer is hot?” Friend replies, Yes, I love Luigi. I think he’s gay though. … And one more from a young woman in our segment department. “Texting all my friends in New York that I hope they get called to jury duty.” “God, I want to do jury duty so bad.” Hilarious, hilarious stuff. Glorifying the alleged murderer of the UnitedHealthcare CEO. What a delight these people are.

Washington State has proposed a transgender division for athletes to compete in that will prevent males from competing against women in female sports. In a proposal from the governing body for high school sports in the state, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) has suggested creating an open division for transgender athletes in order to ensure a “level playing field” for girls in female sports, KXLY reported. “The WIAA encourages participation for all students, regardless of their gender identity or expression. Further, most local, state, and federal rules and regulations require schools to provide transgender and other gender-diverse student-athletes with equal opportunities to participate in athletics,” the proposal read in part.  “However, in order to maintain fair and equitable competition, participation in girls’ sports and girls’ divisions of sports is restricted to students who were assigned female at birth,” it added. “The purpose of this policy is to offer clarity with respect to the participation of trans and gender-diverse student-athletes. Additionally, this policy encourages a culture in which student- athletes can compete in a safe and supportive environment, free of discrimination.” Several schools in the state have already shown their support for the proposals that will be discussed and decided during the virtual Winter Coalition on January 27. BREAKING: The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association finally does what’s right. They’re proposing a league for transgender athletes so that girls no longer have to compete against biological boys. https://t.co/93HyfWD1tI — Jason Rantz on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) December 11, 2024 The WIAA currently allows trans-identifying students to compete on the team of the opposite sex, as previously reported. “The WIAA encourages participation for all students regardless of their gender identity or expression,” the WIAA handbook reads. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The WIAA also does not require high school athletes to take cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers to play on the team of the opposite sex. The proposal comes months after a male won a title in the girl’s division of Washington State Track & Field Meet, stealing a spot for a female on the podium and a chance for the girl to advance her game by scoring a possible scholarship to get into college, OutKick noted. Tennis legend and outspoken advocate for women’s sports, Martina Navratilova, reacted to the proposal and wrote on X “Perfect!!!” Another person wrote, “HUGE NEWS. The house of cards is crashing down. Washington state’s @wiaawa just announced two new policies that would require high school boys-pretending-to-be-girls (‘transgender’ athletes) to compete in a proposed new ‘transgender students’ division.” “Girls’ sports, like volleyball, soccer, basketball and wrestling would be limited to girls,” the post added. “This will have a huge rippling effect on California and @CIFState as our state’s policies for ‘gender inclusivity’ in high school sports are modeled on the WIAA regs.” Related: LPGA Announces Major Change To Transgender Rule

A federal court ruling has stalled the expansion of Affordable Care Act benefits for certain undocumented immigrants in 19 states. The decision questions the authority of a federal agency to extend healthcare coverage, igniting a debate over immigration and healthcare policy. Court Halts ACA Coverage for DACA Recipients U.S. District Judge Daniel M. Traynor issued a preliminary injunction, putting a stop to the Biden administration’s plan to allow DACA recipients access to ACA health plans and financial support. Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach led the charge, stating the move violated congressional authority by extending benefits to “lawfully present” individuals not recognized as such under current law. The policy aimed to provide health coverage options for approximately 100,000 DACA recipients. States involved argued that this extension would lead to irreparable harm and added administrative burdens, potentially affecting federal support. The Department of Health and Human Services adjusted the “lawfully present” definition to include DACA recipients, fueling the controversy. NEWS: We're expanding access to health care for Dreamers by ensuring they will no longer be ineligible for coverage through the ACA Marketplaces or a Basic Health Program—allowing an estimated 100,000 previously uninsured DACA recipients to enroll. https://t.co/gZeA9H2WdE — HHS.gov (@HHSGov) May 3, 2024 Judicial Authority vs. Congressional Authority Judge Traynor emphasized that CMS lacks the power to unilaterally redefine what constitutes lawful presence, a capability reserved for Congress. Kris Kobach hailed the ruling as a victory for the rule of law, underscoring how Congress never intended for ACA benefits to extend to undocumented immigrants and asserting that two laws expressly prevent such actions. A spokesperson for CMS indicated the agency is reviewing the decision, although they refrained from commenting on ongoing litigation. The case adds to the existing tensions over healthcare access for undocumented immigrants. Federal judge temporarily blocks Dreamers from accessing Obamacare https://t.co/ovMVfRFMuU — Just the News (@JustTheNews) December 10, 2024 Continuing Legal and Legislative Battles The case brings attention to the broader legislative and judicial conflicts surrounding the DACA program, originally established during the Obama administration to shield immigrants from deportation while allowing them to work legally. However, DACA has consistently faced legal challenges, particularly over recipients’ eligibility for government-subsidized health insurance. The Department of Justice remains involved, as federal agencies navigate the complex intersection of immigration and healthcare policy. Kris Kobach stated this legal battle underscores the importance of adhering to established laws and the proper legislative process. The decision currently halts the ACA benefit expansion while the broader legal debate over immigrant healthcare rights continues to unfold.

Senator Thom Tillis demands answers from the FBI regarding allegations that Iranian hackers targeted Kash Patel, who is slated to head the FBI. Concerns about national security and the quick leak to the media amplify the urgency for clarification. Iranian Hackers and Kash Patel An Iranian cyberattack allegedly targeted Kash Patel, the choice of President-elect Donald Trump for the FBI director position. The incident unfolded before Trump publicly announced Patel’s potential appointment. Hackers attempted to infiltrate Patel’s communications system, but it remains uncertain if any data was stolen or compromised. The FBI is actively investigating the attack while declining to comment further on the issue. FBI Director Christopher Wray’s current term extends until 2027, necessitating Senate confirmation for any replacement. Despite this cyber threat, Patel continues to seek support from senators. Trump’s team emphasized Patel’s prior role against the Iranian regime, signaling his readiness to implement Trump’s policies as FBI Director. Tillis’s Call for FBI Transparency Sen. Thom Tillis from North Carolina expressed grave concerns about the cybersecurity breach, highlighting its implications for national security. In a letter to the FBI Deputy Director, Tillis questioned whether any FBI personnel were responsible for leaking sensitive information to the press. The FBI acknowledged receipt of the communication but refrained from providing additional details. Tillis stressed that maintaining confidentiality within intelligence agencies is critical for safeguarding national interests. There is no doubt that the increase in Iranian-backed cyberattacks is an attempt to undermine U.S. sovereignty. The news of Iran's potential targeting of Kash Patel in a cyberattack is extremely alarming. We will continue to monitor this situation.https://t.co/XHeR1aeZ6p — House Homeland GOP (@HomelandGOP) December 4, 2024 The targeting of Patel echoes broader Iranian cyber activities, with recent events marking a notable increase in these efforts. Microsoft reported attempts by Iran to influence the upcoming election through phishing attacks on a U.S. presidential campaign. Such actions are part of a pattern observed since the 2020 conflict involving General Qassem Soleimani. Patel’s Position and History Kash Patel is no stranger to intelligence and defense operations. During Trump’s tenure, he served as chief of staff to the Secretary of Defense and held advisory roles on the National Security Council. His experience extends to investigations of foreign interference in U.S. elections, reflecting his integral involvement in national security matters. As an attorney and loyal ally to President Trump, Patel’s background in defense gives him a foundational understanding needed for the responsibilities as FBI director.

With increased federal warnings about Iranian cyber threats, his leadership in an intelligence capacity would be crucial. Patel’s methodical and experienced approach is key in rallying necessary support from the Senate, fortifying the nation against foreign adversarial threats.
