Elon Musk talked to Jesse Watters about the shocking fraud DOGE uncovered. For example, the Department of Education had a $4 billion slush fund. No one tracked it, so it reached the point where they rented out sports stadiums for parties.

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings issued an invitation to “The Office” star John Krasinski during a Wednesday evening broadcast, saying that he’d been compared to Krasinski’s character Jim Halpert and suggesting that they get together and compare notes. Krasinski, as Halpert, garnered a reputation throughout the popular series’ run for repeatedly breaking the fourth wall — blurring the line between the performers and the audience — by looking straight at the camera when he reacted to the actions of his costars. Jennings, who often appears on “CNN NewsNight” with anchor Abby Phillip, has a habit of doing the same. On Wednesday’s show, Phillip strayed from the politics of the day and asked her panel about their dream “celebrity encounters” — and Jennings suggested a confab between himself and Krasinski. “It’s been suggested to me by the internet that I get some inspiration from Jim Halpert during my CNN appearances,” Jennings captioned the video clip he shared. “@johnkrasinski, I’m very coachable if you want to come on and show me how it’s done.” WATCH: pic.twitter.com/xDChxhyhpm — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) May 2, 2025 Jennings noted that “The Office” was a favorite show of his, and suggested that perhaps he and Krasinski could get together and “discuss the correct way to look into a camera when something is happening that you think is wild. So anyway, John, if you want to come on someday we can discuss this, ah, let’s do it. It would be pretty funny.” Throughout his comments, Jennings paused from time to time to give an exaggerated look toward the camera — each time prompting laughs from around the table. “This is very good,” Phillip conceded. Vice President JD Vance also rated a Jim Halpert comparison during his debate with Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), as he often looked at the camera when reacting to the answers Walz was giving to the moderators’ questions.
