Puck: Inside the Post Coup

Monday’s CNN This Morning illustrated the network’s long-standing arrogance, petulance, and version to outside criticism as host Kasie Hunt had a conniption when Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt merely pointed out the basic fact that the two moderators for Thursday’s CNN debate — Dana Bash and Jake Tapper — have long records of bias against Trump and the wider MAGA movement. Hunt began by recalling videos of Trump speaking about the upcoming debate, visually annoyed with his words she introduced Leavitt. Something must have been in the Hunt’s coffee, for, as soon as the politics segment began, the hosts seemed a combination of peeved and forlorn. After introducing Leavitt and asking her how Trump would improve from 2020, Leavitt briefly pointed out an issue that has and will plague the GOP in debates past and future in biased moderators.  President Trump is knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very network, on CNN with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years. And their biased coverage of him. So President Trump is willing to bring his message to every corner of this country to voters to ensure that he wins this election in November.     Clearly upset and refusing to accept outside criticism, Hunt was quick to defend Bash and Tapper: So I'll just say my colleagues, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash have acquitted themselves as, as professional as they have covered campaigns and interviewed candidates from all sides of the aisle. I'll also say that if you talk to analysts of debates, previous, that if you're attacking the moderators, you're usually losing. To be clear, the allegations which Leavitt made were no conspiracy, As cross-talk ensued, it became clear Hunt had no interest in hearing any criticism in turn, she promptly cut off Leavitt and rudely ending the interview: LEAVITT: Well, first of all, it's it would take someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has HUNT: Ma’am we’re going to stop this interview if you are going to continue to keep attacking my colleagues LEAVITT:  Consistently, frequently likened President Trump to Adolf Hilter – HUNT: Ma’am I’m going to stop this interview LEAVITT: I’m stating –  HUNT: – If you continue to attack my colleagues, I would like to talk about –  LEAVITT: I am stating –  HUNT: Joe Biden and  Donald Trump, who you work for.  LEAVITT: Yes.  HUNT: If you are here to speak on his behalf I am willing to have this conversation LEAVITT: I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past. Now, as for this debate HUNT: I'm sorry, we're going to come back out to the panel. Karoline, thank you very much for your time. You are welcome to come back at any point, she is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump. And Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us now at next, early, later this week, in Atlanta for this debate, our thanks to Caroline. The level of sanctimoniousness is both overwhelming and completely in-line with how CNN has operated for the last decade. While such a meltdown would receive widespread media condemnation if it occurred on, say, Fox, it’s perfectly suitable in press circles for Hunt to shut Leavitt down, barring her from answering questions as she saw fit. It’s not as though Leavitt went after Hunt personally. But, for the crime of speaking to CNN’s progressive nature, Hunt censored Leavitt’s legitimate media criticism.   The transcript is below, click “expand” to read: CNN This Morning 6/24/2024 06:49:01 AM EST   KASIE HUNT: Joining me now is Karoline Leavitt. She is the Trump Campaign National Press Secretary. Karoline, thanks very much for being here on the show. We played that to remind everyone that that was some of what they saw on the debate stage in 2020. Of course, ah, President Trump went on to lose that election to Joe Biden. Can you tell us what Donald Trump is going to do differently on the debate stage this time? KAROLINE LEAVITT: Sure. Well, President Trump is well prepared ahead of Thursday's debates. Unlike Joe Biden, he doesn't have to hide away and have his advisors tell him what to say. President Trump knows what he wants to say and he's going to relay his vision to the American people to make this country strong, safe, secure, and wealthy again, he's been doing that across this great nation to all corners of this country. That's why he was in Detroit, Michigan last week. He was in Philadelphia for a big rally on Saturday night, and that's why President Trump is knowingly going into a hostile environment on this very network, on CNN with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years and their biased coverage of him. So, President Trump is willing to bring his message to every corner of this country to voters to ensure that he wins this election in November. He looks forward to doing that, and I know the American public look forward to hearing from him. HUNT: So I'll just say my colleagues, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash have acquitted themselves as – as professional as they have covered campaigns and interviewed candidates from all sides of the aisle. I'll also say that if you talk to analysts, of debates, previous, that if you're attacking the moderators, you're usually losing. So I really want to focus in – LEAVITT: Well – HUNT: – on what these two men are going to do and say, when they stand on the stage. Now, now – we have a little bit of what Donald Trump, your boss, has said in trying to set expectations for this debate, I want to play a sum of a series of his comments and then we'll talk about it. Watch. DONALD TRUMP: Maybe I’m better off losing the debate. I'll make sure he stays. I lost the debate on purpose. Maybe I'll do something like that. [CUT] I assume he's gonna be somebody that will be a worthy debater.  [CUT] Should I be tougher and nasty and say you're the worst president in history or should I be nice and calm and let him speak? HUNT: So he's basically saying there, “Well, will I let Joe Biden win?” It does seem as though many Republicans have set the bar very low in terms of arguing that Joe Biden is basically senile. Now, you have people like Doug Burgum coming out and saying, “well, President Biden's very accomplished”, trying to set expectations in a different place. What do you expect from Joe Biden? LEAVITT: Well, first of all, it's – to take someone five minutes to Google Jake Tapper, Donald Trump to see that Jake Tapper has – HUNT: Ma’am we’re going to stop this interview – LEAVITT: – consistently, frequently likened President Trump – HUNT: – if you are going to continue to keep attacking my colleagues. LEAVITT: – to Adolf Hilter. HUNT: Ma’am I’m going to stop this interview – LEAVITT: No, I’m stating –  HUNT: – if you continue to attack my colleagues, I would like to talk about –  LEAVITT: I am stating –  HUNT: – Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who you work for.  LEAVITT: Yes. And we – HUNT: If you are here to speak on his behalf, I am willing to have this conversation. LEAVITT: I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past. Now, as for this debate – HUNT: Okay, I'm sorry, guys, we're going to come back out to the panel. LEAVITT: – the expectation – HUNT: Caroline, thank you very much for your time. You are welcome to come back at any point. She is welcome to come back and speak about Donald Trump. And Donald Trump will have equal time to Joe Biden when they both join us now – at next – early – later this week, in Atlanta for this debate, our thanks to Caroline. John, that of course is something that we are going to see from the Right, right? It's going to be attacks on how this debate is conducted. As you know, our colleagues Jake and Dana have played a role in our conversations throughout which they have interesting viewed candidates on both sides. Let's talk, though, again, about the candidates. JOHN KING: Alright, look, what you just heard there, it is part of the strategy, and it always has been, and it works for Trump with his base. Does it work for Trump with the small slice of people he needs to, you know, get to win Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona? I would argue, let's deal with policy. Let's deal with that. But that is part of their strategy.

Newsweek: Gov. Ron DeSantis Raises Eyebrows With New Bear-Killing Law

Should Trump Choose J.D. Vance As His VP?

A new six-part docuseries about Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich features a segment about the dictator's holiday getaway in the Bavarian Alps, with a contributor likening it to "Hitler's Mar-a-Lago."

Over the past three years, millions of migrants have come pouring into this country looking for a better life.  They were promised that things would be so much better once they got here, but for so many of them that has turned out to be not true at all.  There just aren’t enough resources to care for the vast number of migrants that are arriving, and as a result many quickly find themselves homeless.  It is a tragedy of monumental proportions, and it is getting worse with each passing day. Just look at what is happening to the city of Chicago.  According to a new report that was just released, the homeless population in the Windy City tripled between January 2023 and January 2024… The number of Chicagoans living in city shelters or on city streets tripled between January 2023 and January 2024, according to the annual survey used by federal officials to track homelessness, city officials announced Friday. When your homeless population triples in a single year, you have a major problem on your hands. And please keep in mind that these are just the ones that they can actually find and count.  Studies have shown that the real homeless population is often several times greater than official counts reveal. According to this latest report, the migration crisis is the primary reason why the homeless population in Chicago is exploding… The point-in-time count estimates the number of people in shelters, transitional housing, encampments and other “unsheltered” locations. The estimate noted the pressures the migrant crisis poses to the city. “Since August 2022, Chicago has welcomed over 40,000 New Arrivals arriving from the southern border, many of whom have needed shelter and services,” it said. “The largest increase in this year’s Shelter Count was due to the continued influx of New Arrivals to Chicago in 2023.” When 40 people show up, it is easy to take care of them. When 40,000 people show up, that is another matter entirely. A similar thing is happening in San Antonio. One Catholic charity that cares for migrants says that it simply cannot keep up with the “huge increase” in migration that has occurred… A Catholic charity has said it can’t keep up with a “huge increase” of migrants entering San Antonio through the U.S.-Mexico border, who are now finding themselves on the streets. Over the past several years, San Antonio has been completely transformed. According to official city data, a whopping 619,919 migrants have arrived in the city since January 2021… According to the city’s migrant dashboard, as of June 19, migrant arrivals since January 2021 have totaled 619,919. Those numbers peaked in November and December 2022, at 30,900 and 37,146, respectively. For many, San Antonio is not the final destination. But there are others that have ended up stuck in the city because they literally have nowhere else to go… “I can tell you we have seen a huge increase of people in the streets, so we have our mobile units go around like south side, west side, places we usually give out food to the homeless people, we’re having now an increase in people coming to the food pantry and our mobile unit who are from Venezuela,” said Fernandez. With no place to sleep and no money for a bus or plane ticket, Fernandez said many of these migrants are out on the streets, adding to the homeless population Catholic Charities already serves. We should all be greatly saddened by what we are witnessing. So much of this suffering could have been easily avoided if our politicians had made different decisions. At one shelter in Los Angeles, it is being estimated that migrants now account for about 90 percent of the people that are being served… “We’re mainly serving people that come from other countries like Venezuela, Honduras, Nicaragua,” said Salvador Mendoza, the shelter’s lead case manager. “I will say yeah, 90%.” The bulk of the shelter’s residents are now asylum seekers who’ve arrived in the U.S. in the past several months, he said. Most are from Venezuela. Some came on buses from Texas; others made it to L.A. themselves, some after being initially bused elsewhere. Many had plans to stay with acquaintances, relatives or other sponsors, but those plans fell through. “So they come to this cruel reality, you know, of not being able to find a job, not being able to have a roof over their head, not knowing the language, not knowing where to go, what to do, so their only option is just being on the street,” Mendoza said. Some cities have decided that the solution to the migrant crisis is to simply ship migrants somewhere else. Recently, reports that Denver was shipping large numbers of migrants to Salt Lake City caused a tremendous uproar… News that the city of Denver was covering the transportation costs of some immigrants to travel from the Colorado capital to Salt Lake City caused an uproar last Friday. Denver, also overwhelmed by an immigrant influx, has also covered the cost of transporting immigrants to Chicago and New York City, which actually received a larger influx than Salt Lake City, according to a report last February by Denverite, a Colorado publication. Cox called Denver’s practice “completely unacceptable” and said Utah resources “are completely depleted.” Salt Lake City and Salt Lake County officials also said the situation has stressed their ability to contend with the housing and other needs of the immigrants, which led to the alert, published in both Spanish and English. Denver is absolutely overwhelmed by migrants. But so is Salt Lake City. And so is Chicago. And so is New York City. Transporting them from city to city isn’t going to solve anything. But many local politicians feel like they have to do something because of all the social problems that are erupting. In the Big Apple, there has been a lot of violence and crime, and that includes one recent incident that involved two police officers… A mob of migrants are facing gang assault charges after allegedly pummeling two NYPD cops outside a Queens hotel shelter, prosecutors and law enforcement sources said Tuesday. Four men were busted after they attacked two of New York’s Finest shortly before 4:30 a.m. Monday as the cops were checking on three unattended children outside the converted Long Island City hotel that now houses asylum seekers, according to authorities. When they asked about the unsupervised kids the men allegedly pounced on them. As I have been relentlessly warning my readers, a tremendous amount of social unrest is in our future, and adding millions of extremely desperate migrants to the equation is only going to make things even worse. We depend upon our politicians in Washington to make common sense decisions, and they have completely and utterly failed us. Now major cities all over the nation are being absolutely overwhelmed by deeply suffering people, and that is a reality that should greatly sadden every single one of us.
