  1. When I, and you know this because you've been on the set, when I look at that camera, it's because it is literally right over Abby's shoulder from my position. And so Correct. When I'm looking back at her preparing to do the next thing, it looks like I'm looking at the camera, but most of the time I am just looking back at Abby. It's almost my turn again. And so some of that is more me looking at my host and my boss, Abby, and not Looking at the camera, but it's a good spot for the camera, I will admit.

  2. Mean a different nomine Oh, wow, gosh, that would be an interesting outcome. Look, I think But look, I'm a Republican. I've been a Republican my entire life. And if somebody becomes the nominee of the Republican Party and they do what I want them to do 90 or 95% of the time, and the Democrat nominee, who's going to be a socialist, does what I want them to do 0% of the time, it's a pretty easy choice for me.

  3. Well, I think every nominee of the party has every right to put their own imprimatur on our platform. I think if it's JD Vance, as the sitting vice president, he'll largely be running on the general policy direction that Trump has set. I mean, after all, he has been helping Trump implement that policy direction. I think it'd be quite weird if he took the party in a totally radically different direction. I'd be quite shocked if that happened.

  4. No, I mean, look, I don't think I'm not one that believes everybody has to get along or be golfing buddies. You know, politics means that sometimes you have people on your team that you don't personally get along with, but you're still fighting largely for the same things. And I will tell you this. McConnell and Trump are forever linked in history by what they did to change the Supreme Court. I mean, but for both of them, it is one of their biggest, from McConnell, certainly, and for Trump, it's one of their biggest legacy points, the changing of the court. And it was McConnell and Trump that teamed up to do it. And whenever conservatives come up to me and complain to me about McConnell, I say, oh, do you like a 6-3 Supreme Court? And they always say yes. And I say, welcome to Team Mitch, because that's what the results of that was.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  5. And McConnell is, I think, actually been quite helpful to Trump. And I mean, he helped, I know internally in the Senate, the lobby internally to get the big beautiful bill passed.

  6. Not at all, really. It's interesting actually in Kentucky. Everybody assumed McConnell was going to be a thorn in Trump's side. But it's really turned out to be Rand Paul and Thomas Massey that have been the thorns in

  7. I mean, he's been my mentor. I've known him since I was 16 years old. And if it weren't for Mitch McConnell, I don't know if I would have been able to go to college, to be honest with you. So in the short term, no, medium or far term, maybe. We'll see

  8. I think I was put on this earth to debate and to do so in a hostile environment. I think I have found the absolute correct job for me in this business. And I think seeing in creating this environment for these debates has been one of the best things that's ever happened to me. And I think it's one of the best things that's ever happened to the network. And so I quite like what I'm doing right now.

  9. I mean, look, I think the president is going to have a successful term, and when it's over, we'll put a new president in there and we ought to have a peaceful transfer of power just the way we had in 2024.

  10. Well, look, my personal view is that he is only able to do what the law or the Congress has created the FCC to do. If the Congress wants to change that, that's up to them.

  13. I don't have any problem with military action against Venezuela. I don't think we'll be having any wars with Canada and Greenland. And I write about this in my book, the impulse to possess Greenland is a good one.

  14. Yeah, look, I think there was a lot about the run up to January 6th, what happened that day, and what happened in the aftermath that, you know, there's not a lot to be proud of there. And I think it was a dark moment. I hope we never, ever see anything like that happen again. The transfer of power in this country is a sacred thing, and we need to respect it. And by the way, at the time, I was thinking, gosh, is this going to be the norm now, no matter who wins the next election? Then we get to 2024 and Trump wins. Know we kind of went back to normal in some ways. We had a normal.

  15. Not get pardoned. I don't agree with it. I do think people who were there, some of them may have been overcharged. That's certainly the president's view. I haven't reviewed every single case. You know, I'm not somebody who necessarily believes in large class action pardons. I didn't like it when Biden did it to the drug offenders at the end of his administration. And I don't think it's correct that these people didn't pay a price. Most of them were convicted. Most of them suffered severe consequences and life. So they were punished. But my view of January the 6th is that it was a terrible day. I wish it had not happened. I hope it never happens again. And it was hard to watch. And I think it was. And you stand.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  16. Think I might have mentioned Signal because I did interview Heg Sef about it and I don't. I thought I mentioned it. I certainly talked about it a lot on TV and certainly gave them some advice about it on TV that maybe it was a little tough love on it. So to me, I viewed that as a bit of a tempest in a teapot at the time. And look, the president even, I think himself said it. Has been a learning experience for everyone involved here. So, I don't think he was super happy with it, to be honest. On the pardons, you know, my view is this. People who commit violent actions.

  17. Know, I think some of it is working already. I think some of it is TBD, and I think I would probably rethink some of it. But I guess I have a bit of a nuanced answer on it. But yeah, do I support his general theory that manufacturing needs to be stimulated, that workers have been left behind and that we have let some other countries take advantage of it? Yeah, I agree with all that.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  18. No, no, Republicans, for my whole career, did not believe in tariffs. We were not a tariff party. Some of our presidents had dalliances with it, but they didn't believe in it the way Trump did. And so there's no question and no quibble from me that this is, in my opinion, the biggest policy departure from the traditional conservative or Republican movement.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  19. I guess what I would say is that every president puts their own policy and premature on their own party. Bush did a few things that weren't particularly conservative either. But what I have come to believe is that we're not just arguing about the daily politics anymore. I do believe the future of the West is at stake. And whether Trump knew he was signing up for it or not, I believe he believes in the future of the West. And I think he's fighting forces that don't. And so I guess I sobbered up a little bit about what's really at stake in this world. And it's not just daily policy fights, but it's about ideologies and it's about whether we're going to have an American future or something much darker.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  20. But it's his most consistent view, and he has never ever shied away from it, and yet he did win two elections on it, and he did implement it. I personally think the Supreme Court may take away some of his power here based on what I heard in the arguments.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  21. Departure on policy orthodoxy has been tariffs. No question about it. It's not been a tariff party. Bush did a little tariffs briefly. Reagan did a little briefly, but we've not been a tariff party. But interestingly, it is the, I think, and I don't know what you think, but it's the longest held view of Trump. It's his most closely held view.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  22. 2015 scale would have been totally shocked to have learned early on anyway that Donald Trump was going to get elected twice. I will tell you a quick story that I tell in my book You know, the first person to ever tell me Trump was going to be the next president was my dad, a garbage man in a factory worker from Kentucky who was the biggest Clinton Democrat that I knew. And of course, I told him he was full of shit. And you don't know what you're talking about. And he was right. And I was wrong. And so I think a lot of people who had been trained in normal politics didn't take it seriously at first. I learned very quickly during that primary, not only should it be taken seriously, but that it was quite likely to happen. I did campaign in 2016 for Jeb early on. And I was out on the road and I was running into people thinking, he's got something going on here. And that's when I realized there was a big change coming to the Republican Party. So I think in many ways, Donald Trump has executed, like any Republican would, taxes are low. The Supreme Court is conservative. These are basic Republican things. The number one...

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  23. I thought you were going to get a question from an expert, but you got Tim Milwaukee said. When you get the expert question,

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  24. Well, look, I think that the Congress is largely in step with Trump on his policy priorities. And it's because when he ran for president, they were all running at the same time and they all basically ran on the same platform. They didn't run their campaigns to say, well, I know you love Trump, but I'm going to go up there and oppose him, even though I'm also a Republican. I mean, that's kind of ridiculous. And so I think they've done what their voters expected them to do. help the president execute. I think the long-term fiscal health of the country, though, is troubling and it needs to be dealt with. And, you know, look, 70 something percent of our budget is non-discretionary. And so, you know, we are going to have to reckon with some long-term structural issues if we're going to get the fiscal health of the country in order. And that has not been dealt with yet, but it will have to be someday.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  25. I think some things are good. I like that they executed the biggest welfare reform in a generation and the big, beautiful bill. I think that is good. But I think the enduring question and the most important question is we're spending 54% more money today than we were just before COVID. Do you feel like your government is 54% better today than it was just before COVID? I don't. And we have trillions upon trillions upon trillions in debt. I think Elon's alarm that he raised to me is quite real. And I think that sentiment is held by a lot of people. And so eventually we're going to have to reckon with this and we haven't done it in a serious way yet.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  26. Oh, look, I think it would be great if Congress would take up their responsibilities to exercise a little more fiscal responsibility in this country. I think most Republicans believe that.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  27. And then look, I wrote about this as well. When you look at what the president laid out in his speech to Congress in March, going through that line item of all this sort of ridiculous things, I think those are the nagging things that drive people crazy. And no one ever seems to do anything about it. So yes, I liked it very much. As I said, though, I think the future of this is you have to have more cooperation with the Congress because ultimately they are going to have to be the ones to decide to spend less and enforce less spending and enforce less ridiculous spending on the executive branch. So that to me is what's missing right now is the evolution where we're working with Congress to make it stick and make it frankly more expansive over time.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  28. Yeah, he believes that combined with the mass migration crisis and the low birth rate is sort of, all these things are aligning to really threaten the future of the country. And he was very sincere about that when I spoke with him about it.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  29. And in some cases, they ran into roadblocks, but I think they were feeling pressure to move quickly. And, you know, Elon told me, he believes our fiscal situation is dire. He thinks the amount of debt in the country is devaluing the currency.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  30. Well, I think that, and if you were going to start to examine how we're spending money and where it goes within our vast bureaucracy, you have to have access to the systems that would tell you where it's going. I don't have any reason to believe Elon had any nefarious purposes whatsoever other than to tell you what he told me when I interviewed him. I said, why are you here? And he said, I'm trying to find a way to make America not go bankrupt. And he was sincere in that. He had strong feelings about a lot of other issues, but that was the first thing that he told me when we sat down. And so I interpreted all of his moves as this. I've been given a mandate by the president to find wasteful spending and to cut it. And I want to move fast and I may need to break some things along the way, but how do I actually get access to the information that I need to find the things to cut? I mean, they did it. And in some cases, it was successful.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  31. But I don't think the PR and the public communication was right. And I think when you're going to make major changes like that and you are going to go in and take a wrecking ball to certain things, you have to have a PR strategy that matches the magnitude of it. And so to me, it made sense to do it, but it didn't make sense to do the PR the way they did it. So there's an example from if I had a criticism of something that was handled or mishandled this year. That was one of them. I like the concept of it, but I think the PR of it could have been handled much better. And I think the American people would have approved of it if more communication efforts had been made, not just directly, but also with the Congress.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  32. Without you giving me an example to react to, I don't know what I would conjure up. I'll give you one from early in the administration. I personally thought the Doge effort to cut wasteful spending, the principles and the impulses were correct

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  33. I mean, the Congress specifically did not appropriate money for this, and then you want them to spend money that wasn't appropriated. They just had no kings rallies. And then they want him to act like a king and spend money that wasn't appropriated. They wanted king for a day.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  34. Well, I'll give you the Republican eye view of that. I don't think it was common sense to shut down the government. I don't think it was common sense to, I think, effectively hold federal workers and all these people and their snap benefits hostage just to keep your base gend up for an election. And that's why they caved when the election ended, because they didn't know how to get out of it. They knew it was a political tactic in the beginning. But I don't think any of that was common sense for the Democrats. I guess they got their political outcome, but I don't really put any of that on Trump. They were the ones who voted against the Biden budget levels that they themselves had just supported. What was common sense about that? Absolutely nothing.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  35. Has rebranded his political movement. I asked him once, do you consider yourself to be more of a conservative or like a common sense person? And he said, well, most of the time, conservative is common sense. But when I went with him to Michigan on his 100th day in office, he told the crowd. And I think this sums it up. Whether you're right or whether you're left or whatever the hell you are, it's just common sense. So I called the book this because it struck me the way he said it in the inaugural, but I think it is authentically how he brands himself and how he would brand his movement.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  36. Well, common sense was his pamphlet. Trump in his inaugural address said, We are having a revolution of common sense. And when I heard it, I thought, oh, that would be a great book title. And so that's where I got the germ of the idea. But I think there's been a lot of issues in American politics over the last few years where it felt like we were dealing with uncommon nonsense and Trump comes along and he has a pretty good instinct for picking the 80 of a lot of 80-20 issues, boys and girls sports is a good example. Avon mentioned, I was in the Oval Office today. I think he signed the executive order banning Paper straws. Some things are big, some things are large, but they're all just what an average person would say, oh yeah, that's common sense.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  37. Turns out some of those people were right and the people who were censoring them were wrong. And so I guess my point is this, there is a general feeling that if the elites make a decision about what the narrative is going to be, they can crush you and they can either coerce tech companies into crushing you, they can coerce media into crushing you, but the crushing of opinions and dissent in this case, I think it left a bad taste in people's mouth.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  38. Can I make one more comment about? Because I think it's an important debate. You had that issue going on. And then there was, you know, there's also been questions about what was kept from the American people or what information was downplayed from the American people during COVID. I mean, there were people that had opinions or ideas about COVID and what was going on during that time. And people lost access to social media. People had their opinions villainized.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  39. Well, I don't agree that it's just a simple matter of making your case when you use your government title and you use your intelligence bona fides and you use all your credentials to flat out lie to the American people, they didn't know that. That was a political argument, but they were saying this is Russian disinformation. What you're reading is directly out of the Kremlin. It was one of the biggest lies that was told to try to get Joe Biden over the finish line. Do you think that's just politics as usual?

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  40. Such an effort to keep this information from broad distribution to the American people on the doorstep of an election. Republicans were mad about it then, and they're still mad about it today. What were they so afraid of? I mean, the story was true. There wasn't really any dispute of that other than from these 50 people who come from government, who are in and out of government when Democrats are in power.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  41. Well, I think in that particular case, what Republicans were exercised about was that this Hunter Biden story was emerging. There was something there. And there was an immediate attempt by media outlets to say, this is not a huge deal. I remember NPR saying we're not going to cover this because it's not important to the American people, which I totally disagree with. And then you had tech companies and platforms literally not putting the story on their platform. I mean, they were actively censoring it on the doorstep of an election. So the general criticism is and then on top of that, the Democrats go out and recruit 50 people with fancy titles, intelligence backgrounds to all say, oh, this is classic Russian disinformation. So you had a number of things going on. And what did we find out later? It was real. The information on it was real. And it was valid stuff about whether the Biden family was, you know, involved in things that, you know, you and I might agree would be considered corrupt. And so why was there?

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  42. Well, look, I think one thing is true to succeed in politics these days, you do need a level of showmanship. You do need a level of production. You do need a level of being able to communicate in a modern way. And I concur with you. Momdani knew how to do that. Now, whether there's any substance underpinning all that production, we'll have to find out. I'm dubious, but we'll see.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  43. Oh, look, I think in politics, you always have to be careful what you wish for. I remember Democrats licking their chops at the thought of running against Donald Trump in 2016. Oh, this is a good thing. Be careful what you wish for. And I think the ascendant energy in the Democratic Party is with people like him, the socialist energy in the party is clear. It's reflected in the polls. He's a great actor. He's well produced. So I take it very seriously what he was able to do. I do think he had a terrible opposition and he had a fragmented field, which also helped him. And I think he may run headlong into the governing realities of the way being mayor of New York City works. But I think it did tell us something about where the Democrats are, which is.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  44. I'm as hopeful as any Republican is, which is to say not very much. I don't have a lot of utility for people who are quoting Eugene Debs in their acceptance speeches.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  45. He lost a third of his own party to a guy who was disgraced when he left office just a couple of years ago. I don't know whether that's true or not.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  46. Oh, really? I think the winning message was that he got to run against Andrew Cuomo twice. I mean, he. I mean, he got to run against the worst candidate twice, not once, but twice. And that was really helpful to him. I mean, look, he has never had a real job. He has never managed anything approaching. You don't have to do it.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  47. So I think that'll color their relationship, obviously, because of Trump being from New York and having strong positions on New York. But it's New York City. It's an important place. It's a financial capital of the world. And so should they have some kind of relationship? Yes. Do I think Momdani intends it to be adversarial? I do. And we'll have to see how he's going to play that.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  48. Well, I think the president should have a relationship with the mayor of New York City. I mean, it's one of the most important cities in the world. Now, the way Trump sees the world and the way Mom Donnie sees the world obviously couldn't be farther apart. And Trump being a New Yorker, I think he feels like he knows more about New York City than Mom Donnie will ever know. And so it's not like he's coming into the conversation cold. It's not a kind.

    2025-11-21 · On with Kara Swisher · Gloves Off with Scott Jennings, CNN’s Conservative Pundit · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT

  49. Is that a good thing? Is it a good thing? I mean, I think it's a Trump thing. I mean, when has he had warm relations or warm reactions to the press gaggle that has followed him around for the last 10 years? I can't think of a moment that he did. So I guess I didn't think anything of it because its situation normal. He believes they're hostile to him. I think they are largely hostile to him and he reacts to them in a way that you would if someone was constantly hostile to you.
