CNN contributor Scott Jennings obliterated his fellow panelists as they tried to argue that it was reasonable for Democrats to put the Department of Homeland Security at risk.The partial shutdown of some parts of the government is due to the demands of Democrats that Immigration and Customs Enforcement be reformed after multiple lethal incidents during ICE operations.'The irresponsible Democrats continue to keep DHS shut down. Partisanship with deadly consequences.'Jennings took on CNN host Abby Phillip and panelists Bakari Sellers, former Biden official Sabrina Singh, and Beth Sanner."Does anyone here believe that we should keep the Department of Homeland Security — that’s the name of it — indefinitely shut down to try to force ICE policy changes on an agency that’s already funded until 2029?" he asked rhetorically."When you acknowledge there are sleeper cells, when we all see radical Islamic terrorists throwing IEDs in New York City, when we saw a radical Muslim terrorist shoot up a bar in Austin, when we had tornadoes in Oklahoma and Michigan this weekend, when we have TSA lines of five hours in airports, we have all these things going on," he added."Is it even remotely reasonable to keep it closed?!" Jennings said.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said at the end of January that Democrats were not backing down on the restrictions demands."Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate," he said at the time.RELATED: Scott Jennings obliterates liberal spin on alleged Kirk assassin: 'Evidence... is overwhelming!' Jennings posted video of his scorching tirade on his social media account."Another day of the Democrat DHS shutdown dawns on America. We have radical Islamic terrorism, tornados, and 5-hr lines at the airport," Jennings wrote on the post."And yet the irresponsible Democrats continue to keep DHS shut down," he added. "Partisanship with deadly consequences."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Neuroscientist Dr. Debra Soh’s new book, “Sextinction,” addresses an alarming trend she’s noticed: Why are so many young adults not dating, not getting married, and not having children?And Soh isn’t the only one looking for answers.“We’re not having children. ... And part of that is because we’re not having sex, and people aren’t even dating anymore. What the hell is happening to us?” Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck asks Soh on “The Glenn Beck Program.”“We definitely are experiencing a sex recession. So there’s been studies coming out since 2016 basically showing that people are having less sex. This is happening across the globe. In America in particular, this is happening among married people, single people, it doesn't matter,” Soh explains.“It’s happening in Western countries, Eastern countries, all age cohorts, but it’s especially pronounced among younger generations. So among Millennials and Gen Z. And what we find consistently is that roughly one in three men and one in five women have not had sex in the past year,” she continues.One reason Soh points to is the convenience of “sexual outlets” like pornography, AI companions, or even sex dolls.“I also think there are factors like endocrine disruptors and environmental toxins that are affecting us and men in particular at a hormonal level, lowering their testosterone levels. So that is also affecting their drive and their desire to pursue women,” Soh explains.“And then we also have social and cultural factors like ‘me too’ that have made it very difficult for men to want to approach women because they’re afraid of potentially having their lives ruined. And then we have also initiatives like DEI, diversity, equity, and inclusion, that are actively penalizing men for no reason other than the fact that they are men,” she continues.“And this is especially the case for white and Asian men and men who are straight. So all these factors combined, I think have created this situation in which there’s a smaller pool of very successful men in society who have tons of sex, plenty of partners, no problems there,” she says.“But for the vast majority of men, especially younger men, they’re really struggling,” she adds.Want more from Glenn Beck?To enjoy more of Glenn’s masterful storytelling, thought-provoking analysis, and uncanny ability to make sense of the chaos, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

In a 2-1 ruling on Friday, a pair of federal appellate judges appointed by former President Joe Biden blocked the Trump administration from revoking Haiti's Temporary Protected Status designation — a special status that not only shields over 350,000 Haitian nationals from removal but enables them to continue displacing American labor.Apparently emboldened by the D.C.-based appellate court's ruling, activists have filed a federal lawsuit in hopes of similarly blocking the Trump administration from ending Somalia's special status.The long, slow goodbye BlazeTV host Christopher Rufo and investigative reporter Ryan Thorpe highlighted in a damning Nov. 19 report various instances of alleged and confirmed fraud perpetrated by members of the Somali community in Minnesota as well as the alleged direction of stolen taxpayer funds by members of the Somali community to terrorists abroad.'We are putting Americans first.'Two days later, President Donald Trump announced that he was terminating the TPS designation for Somalia, stating, "Somali gangs are terrorizing the people of that great State, and BILLIONS of Dollars are missing. Send them back to where they came from. It's OVER!"Amid multiple investigations into the pervasive fraud within the heavily welfare-dependent Somali community, the Department of Homeland Security announced in January that the crime-ridden East African nation would be stripped of its special status effective March 17.The DHS advised Somali nationals without legal status apart from TPS to start the process of self-deporting.Somalia was initially designated for TPS in 1991 based on a determination that there were "extraordinary and temporary conditions" in Somalia preventing its expatriates from returning. This supposedly temporary designation was repeatedly extended over the next three decades.RELATED: Mullin inherits a mess at DHS. Here’s how he can still save Trump’s legacy. Photo by ABDISHUKRI HAYBE/AFP via Getty ImagesA Jan. 14 notice in the Federal Register pointed out, however, that the situation in Somalia has materially changed and that the country "today shows improved national governance and security structures and now experiences localized pockets of violence rather than nationwide, generalized conflict."The notice stated further that "requiring Somali nationals to return to Somalia would not pose a serious threat to their personal safety as there are areas within Somalia where Somali nationals may live in safety."DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated, "Allowing Somali nationals to remain temporarily in the United States is contrary to our national interests. We are putting Americans first."The lawsuitAfrican Communities Together — an activist group that has challenged the Trump administration's efforts to repatriate various temporarily welcomed African migrant groups — joined the California-based Partnership for the Advancement of New Americans and four Somalis in filing a lawsuit on Monday, accusing the administration of violating the Administrative Procedure Act as well as the Fifth Amendment.The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, downplays Somali criminality in the U.S., claims that the migrants' homeland is not as safe as the U.S. government has said, and states that the status termination was "motivated by racial, ethnic, and national-origin discrimination."This theme — that the Trump administration and Trump's popular deportation agenda are racist — continues throughout the lawsuit and appears to be based on a presumption of racial animus on the part of the Trump administration.The lawsuit presumes, for instance, that race was a factor when the administration left protections in place for Ukrainians but not for Somalis and Haitians. The complaint makes no mention of Ukraine's ongoing war with a nuclear power which has so far resulted in over 1.2 million casualties."The Trump administration has long embraced an anti-immigration agenda, which includes an objective of eliminating or severely restricting access to TPS for non-white, non-European immigrants," the complaint reads, "targeting them with racist rhetoric and attempting to use any mechanism possible to remove them from the country."One example of supposedly "racist" commentary cited in the lawsuit was Trump's statement during a Nov. 27 press conference that "Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off for a lot of money."The lawsuit also referenced Trump's commentary during a Dec. 2 Cabinet meeting, specifically his statement, "I don't care. I don't want them in our country. Their country is no good for a reason. Their country stinks, and we don't want them in our country. I can say that about other countries too."In addition to characterizing the administration as racist, the lawsuit complains that without the special status, former TPS beneficiaries will lose employment eligibility and benefits, which supposedly amounts to "severe" harm.DHS did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.The Trump administration announced over the weekend that it intends to pursue an appeal at the U.S. Supreme Court to see through its termination of Haiti's TPS, Reuters reported.Like Blaze News?
