‘You Can’t Say You Weren’t Warned’: Five Times CNN’s Harry Enten Was Right About The Election
'I think this is what gives Democrats agita'
CNN’s Jake Tapper is refusing to answer basic questions about his salary and his show's finances as he navigates a $1 billion defamation lawsuit brought by a Navy veteran who says CNN destroyed his security contracting career when it aired false and defamatory claims about his efforts to get Afghans out of the country as the Taliban took control in 2021.

Over the past few months, Americans everywhere had called on each other to make the results of the 2024 presidential election “too big to rig” — though many were skeptical that a feat of that nature was possible.
But it turns out it was.
The red wave was unstoppable, and Donald Trump won every single swing state.
“I mean, from the beginning, it kind of looked like there's no path for her. There’s no path,” Pat Gray of “Pat Gray Unleashed” comments. “You didn’t want to believe it immediately because I didn’t want the beat down at the end.”
“But you know what, we are finally unburdened by what has been,” he adds.
The prospect of a Donald Trump win became clearer and clearer as the night went on, and one clip of Jake Tapper from CNN illustrates this perfectly.
As Tapper stands looking at an electoral map, his colleague shows him that there was currently no state in America where Kamala Harris was outperforming Biden in 2020.
“Literally nothing?” Tapper says, shocked, staring at the empty electoral map. “Literally not one county?”
Gray, Keith Malinak, and Jeffy couldn’t help but burst into laughter watching the clip.
“He hates Trump,” Gray comments. “It’s made him unreasonable, a guy who used to be somewhat of a real journalist,” noting that Tapper now has Trump Derangement Syndrome, like so many others.
While Tapper is not alone in his condition, the guys aren’t sure that Kamala supporters actually support Kamala enough to do anything about it.
“There might be a little bit of upheaval, but no one really feels the need to go out and burn the streets down because of Kamala Harris not winning,” Jeffy says.

CNN anchor Jake Tapper could not hide his astonishment when he learned that Vice President Kamala Harris badly underperformed compared to President Joe Biden four years ago.
Around 2 a.m. Wednesday morning — after Donald Trump had already won Pennsylvania and sealed his path to victory — Tapper sought to better understand why Harris lost, asking CNN chief national correspondent John King if Harris was overperforming in any areas of the country compared to Biden in 2020.
Harris' dismal performance is raising an ironic question: Would Biden have been more competitive than Harris?
King then showed Tapper hard data showing that Harris was not outperforming Biden statewide in any state.
"Holy smokes!" Tapper reacted, according to a clip of their exchange. "Literally nothing?!"
"Literally nothing," King confirmed.
Next, King showed Tapper counties where Harris had overperformed by 3% or more compared to Biden in 2020. At the time, only 58 counties in the entire country could be included in that tally.
Harris' dismal performance is raising an ironic question: Would Biden have been more competitive than Harris?
For their part, Tapper and King believe he would not have been.
"I don't want to be disrespectful to the president of the United States," King began. "The vice president of the United States looks like she's about to lose the presidential election. She was campaigning vigorously from the second she got the nomination until the votes counted today. Is there any evidence on the table that the president of the United States could do half of what she did?"
"No," Tapper responded.
"A third of what she did?" King added.
"No," Tapper affirmed.
Trump's historic overperformance and a national red shift are two of the key reasons why he is headed back to the White House.
Trump, in fact, improved on his 2020 margins in more than 2,300 counties across America, while his margins decreased in fewer than 250, according to New York Times analysis.

Republican vice presidential nominee Senator JD Vance (R-Ohio) sparred with CNN's Jack Tapper on Sunday, challenging the accuracy of comments Tapper attributed to former President Donald Trump.
Tapper opened the interview by questioning Vance about criticisms from Trump's former chief of staff, retired Marine General John Kelly, who expressed concerns that the former president would allegedly deploy the military against "the enemy from within." Last week, Kelly accused Trump of being a "fascist" and an "authoritarian."
'Show me the quote where he said that.'
Vance dismissed the allegations and described Kelly as a disgruntled former employee attempting to tarnish Trump's reputation. He told Tapper that several witnesses have accused Kelly of fabricating false statements he has attributed to Trump.
Tapper claimed that Kelly and Trump are in alignment on policies, but Vance stated, "I don't buy that."
Vance said, "If you actually look at John Kelly and folks like Liz Cheney, the fundamental disagreement they have with Donald Trump is, even though they say they're conservative, they're conservative in the sense that they want America to get involved in a ton of ridiculous military conflicts. They want America to police the world, and Donald Trump [doesn't]."
Tapper interrupted Vance, stating, "John Kelly lost a son in Afghanistan. Why are you saying, like — I've never heard John Kelly say whether he supports Iran or Afghanistan."
Vance responded, "And I honor his son's sacrifice and his family's sacrifice; that doesn't mean he's not wrong about policy."
"Is your argument that a person that lost a son in Afghanistan can't be wrong about public policy?" Vance asked Tapper.
Vance stated that many of Trump's conservative critics who were previously in his Cabinet had turned against him because he "wouldn't listen to the leadership of the military when they wanted him to start ridiculous conflicts."
Tapper pressed Vance on his claim that Kelly coordinated with Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign before making his critical comments about Trump. Tapper reported that sources close to Kelly and the Harris campaign denied any such communication.
"I'm highly skeptical of that, Jake. You know the way that these attacks work," Vance responded. "You're telling me that based on secondhand conversations with John Kelly."
Vance contended that the only reason Harris does not have former staff criticizing her is because "she doesn't fire people who fail."
"That's why we haven't had a real audit of the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal," he added. "Kamala Harris protects failures in government; Donald Trump fires them."
Tapper argued that several of Trump's former staff members think Trump is "not fit for office."
"Oh, they didn't think he was unfit for office until they had a falling-out with him because he fired them, and we're not talking about public policy," Vance responded.
The senator tried to steer the conversation to policy issues, urging Tapper to question him on Trump's strategies for reducing grocery and housing costs for Americans.
"You'd much rather talk about what Donald Trump allegedly said than what Trump did in office," Vance stated.
Tapper stated that Trump threatened to use the military against American citizens, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).
"He did not say that, Jake," Vance fired back. "Show me the quote where he said that."
"He's talking about people rioting after the election," the senator continued. "People who burn down American cities in the summer of 2020. Yes, we should have a federal law enforcement response."
Tapper persisted, claiming that Trump intends to use the military to "go after the enemy from within."
"Here's the game that you're playing," Vance explained. "He said that he wanted to use the military to go after far-left lunatics who are rioting, and he also called them 'the enemy within.' He separately, in a totally different context and a totally different conversation, said that Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff were threats to this country."
"You're imputing things. You're taking words out of context. You're taking two separate conversations and pretending they were made at the exact same time," Vance remarked.
Vance then slammed Tapper and CNN for giving credence to the "Russia hoax."
"Ask yourself a basic question on network integrity. You guys talked about the Russia hoax nonstop," Vance stated. "And so you took the words of unnamed FBI agents and put them on your network as though they were the gospel truth. You did it again and again."

“Every now and then, a debate is so clear ... who won and who lost that they can't really lie about it,” says Dave Rubin.
That was the case during Trump’s debate against Biden, which was the catalyst that kickstarted Biden’s dropping out, and it was certainly the case in the VP debate on Tuesday.
Even the mainstream networks couldn’t deny that Vance mopped the floor with Walz.
Dave plays a compilation of some of the post debate coverage.

In a News Nation clip, Geraldo Rivera told Dan Abrams, “There is no doubt in my mind, however Governor Walz did in terms of sincerity that Vance won this debate.”
In another News Nation clip, Chris Cuomo said, “At one point, Vance wanted to correct something about how Haitians got into this country, and he was right, and the moderators wouldn't let him correct it.”
In a clip from CNN, John King told Jake Tapper, “The two issues driving the campaign right now are Harris has a big deficit on the economy; Harris has a big deficit on immigration. And Republicans were happy tonight and Democrats a little bit nervous that on those two issues, Vance carried it.” Tapper nodded in agreement.
In another CNN clip, Tapper said, “JD Vance is much more experienced at this — at public speaking, at defending himself, at pivoting.”
CNN’s Abby Phillip also told Dana Bash that she saw “a clear lack of preparation and execution” on the part of Tim Walz in the debate.
Bash disagreed and said, “I think actually it’s the opposite. I think he had too much preparation.”
