(DCNF)—CNN’s Scott Jennings halted network commentator Xochitl Hinojosa Sunday after she stated she was worried about Department of Government Efficiency’s Elon Musk allegedly providing the FBI with his satellite internet, Starlink.
Despite Democrats’ vocal criticisms of Musk’s involvement with Trump since his endorsement of the president, the party ramped up their pushback against Musk in February, protesting in Washington, D.C., throughout the week. On “State of the Union,” Hinojosa told CNN host Dana Bash that she was “terrified” of Musk “acting on behalf of himself,” claiming her sources at the FBI are concerned he is attempting to place people in the agency “in order to advance his financial interests.”
“You’re terrified that the FBI might have the internet? I mean, I don’t understand, like — ” Jennings jumped in.
“I’m terrified that Elon Musk is putting people in federal agencies to figure out business opportunities for him,” Hinojosa responded.
Jennings, however, immediately pushed back on Hinojosa, stating that her claims were “overblown.” Despite the commentator attempting to echo her concerns, Jennings went on to highlight how Musk is working to “help” the U.S. government.
“He’s like sleeping on a, whatever, on the floor of a government office building seven days a week in order to help this government. The spending is interesting. We’re not going to balance the budget based on these spending cuts,” Jennings said.

“Although some of this stuff is patently, objectively ridiculous. When I see Democrats rushing out to defend some of the things that he’s cutting, I mean, it makes the Democratic Party sink to very low levels. But what I see him actually doing, and the most important thing he’s doing, is enforcing the doctrine of common sense,” Jennings added.
Musk was heavily criticized on Monday after he announced that he and President Donald Trump had agreed to upend the U.S. Agency for International Development, bringing it under the power of Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Despite reports of billions of taxpayer dollars being wasted on international programs, some of which engaged in left-wing social engineering abroad, Democrats claimed that Musk’s move on the agency was illegal.
Jennings continued to state how the U.S. is returning to “common sense” under the Trump administration, emphasizing that the administration must look through the agencies to “restore” balance.
“This was the doctrine that Trump laid out in his inaugural address.What is the ideology of the Republican Party right now? It is best described as enforcement of common sense. We have uncommon nonsense on the left, and we have common sense,” Jennings said.
“When you look at what the government is doing, agency after agency, and spending some of our money, we’re not going to balance it on a $79,000 grant here or there, but we are going to restore common sense. That’s the point,” Jennings concluded.
In a new CBS poll released on Sunday, 53% approve of Trump’s leadership just weeks into his second term, with 70% stating that the president is fulfilling his campaign promises.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
