CNN host Kasie Hunt was visibly stunned by incoming border czar Tom Homan’s recent statement that he’d jail one Democratic mayor who said he may not comply with the second Trump administration’s deportation plans. After playing a clip Wednesday morning of Homan saying he’s “willing to put” Democratic Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail for declaring he will not deport illegal immigrants living in his city — Johnston had said himself he was willing to be arrested for his defiant stance — Hunt looked visibly disturbed and described the rhetoric as “more extreme” than that on the Trump campaign trail.

CNN contributor and former Obama adviser Van Jones said Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom” that President-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Fox News host Pete Hegseth as the next secretary of defense is “very alarming.” Jones said, “I think look, he looks great, but he sounds terrible, and I think if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

We have the most lethal, respected, the most feared military in the history of the world. There’s not even a number 2. So the idea that our military,...

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clashed with Breaking Points host Krystal Ball, comparing Israel’s situation to a hypothetical one of America being attacked by Mexico, while accusing the Palestinians of being exceedingly “pampered” and firing back at Ball’s relentless fault-finding against the Jewish state, stating: “Everything in your mind is telling you to blame Israel, instead of blaming Hamas.” In a fiery interview with Breaking Points, hosted by Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball, Robert F.

During an episode Monday of the network’s top-watched table talk program “The Five,” the panel discussed the state of Florida’s new controversial standards for teaching Black history, which direct teachers to include instruction on “how slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit.” After a liberal member of the show’s panel asked if the same standard could be applied to Jews who were captured and tortured during the Holocaust, Greg Gutfeld chimed in. The late night...
