Summary
Tim Miller, Sam Stein, and Will Sommer discuss a chaotic CNN panel blowup, the strange rise of Scott Jennings as cable news’ go-to defender, and the surreal world of MAGA-themed cruises—from a “Gulf of America” getaway to a gay conservative cruise that left Tim stunned. They talk about the escalating Candace Owens feud and lawsuit drama, plus one of the weirdest political clips you’ll see all week—featuring Callista Gingrich.

| 0:39.1 | happened in the late at a legacy media outlet, which is CNN. Well, it's legacy media for now, |
| 0:45.2 | I guess, until the Ellison's take it over and turn it into, I don't know, make Scott |

| 1:06.3 | So I want to play last night. |
| 1:08.5 | Jennings was going after my boy Adam Mockler. |
| 1:29.1 | And things got a little heated. There was even a curse. And I thought we should watch that together. I mean, honestly, they have been at war with us for 47 years. We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with the letter is IRA, that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt. I was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars. Now this war is failing. Eight weeks is endless to you? Okay, you said it was going to be four to six weeks. Do you have the attention? You have the attention span of a net? Is that what you had? Homi, I debated you on TV four to six weeks ago and you said we were weeks away from it. Now you're making condescending remarks because you can't defend the fact that this war is not going your way. Wait, one more time. |
| 1:46.2 | Not going, not going your way. Wait, one more time. Not going. Not going your way. We need one political concession. Whoa. Honestly, I'm not, I'm not going to have this guy's behind my face. Everybody hang tight. Honestly. He's aware of this live television. Everybody calm down. Okay. We're having a debate. Got Geraldo there in the corner. Wow. Sam, you've been on a lot of panels on cable news. You've had, there have been some heated moments. That's a little different. I've never dropped an F bomb on a panel. At least I don't think I have. You definitely never pointed at somebody's face and dropped down at that. |
| 2:18.7 | Yeah, okay. |
| 2:23.1 | I was going to say, was Adam point, was Adam, no, no, I mean, when Jennings turned around, |
| 2:24.8 | like get your hand on my fucking face. |
| 2:27.9 | Like he was pointing at Machler, talking to fucking stop. |
| 2:29.7 | I mean, I was going to make, that's lost cool. |
| 2:32.3 | I was going to make the note of Haraldo being there. |
| 2:35.8 | Harald must have been just absolutely, aroused by it all. |
| 2:50.8 | It's like, this is like, this is Haraldor's shit, right? Like, he loves this shit. But also, like, the whole thing afterwards where Scott, like, felt like he needed to talk to Abby about, I'm not going to deal with this guy's hand in my face. like I don't want to deal with this hand in my face. His hand really wasn't in his face. |
