We spend so much time singing the praises of Scott Jennings owning all of the leftists at CNN, sometimes we forget that he's not the only one on that awful network who is pretty good at what he does.
Last night, Shark Tank's Mr. Wonderful himself, Kevin O'Leary, was engaged in a debate with Ahmed Baba (who?) about the economy and the United States' standing in the world. We can't quite figure out if O'Leary is just that good, or if Baba is just that bad.
We're going to embrace the power of 'AND' here, but you can judge for yourself. Watch:
This gets even funnier when we dig into who Baba is. He likes to fashion himself as an 'entrepreneur' because he founded something called Rantt Media, which we've also never heard of, and has a Substack. In truth, Baba is just another activist journalist who works for The Independent, which is as far-left as Sky News or the BBC. 'Ahmed Baba' isn't even his real name (or, at least, not the name he was born with).
Going up against an actual entrepreneur like O'Leary, it didn't take long for Baba to realize he was totally out of his league (just look at his eyes as O'Leary is blasting him). It also didn't help that he was just spouting talking points that could have been written by the DNC instead of looking at the reality of the stock market.
We loved how Baba tried to interject that the only reason the stock market is at a record high is that the world believes that President Trump will 'chicken out.'
How's that talking point been going for the left lately? LOL.
Maybe some of Phillips' regular guests are starting to decline appearing on her show because they know how woefully outclassed they are by the likes of Jennings and O'Leary.
What's even worse is that they think this still works.
It's tempting to want them to shut up, but it's actually better that they keep talking.
It just continues to show everyone how completely detached they are from the real world in which the rest of us live.
O'Leary doesn't overly dislike Trump, nor is he a Trump apologist. He just calls it like it is.
THAT is the kind of person who CNN should be trying to put on the air, not people like Baba, who only know how to lie and -- as he showed everyone -- aren't even very good at it.
We're tempted to give CNN some credit for putting these talented conservatives on their panels, but we know the only reason they do it is because, without them, fewer people would watch their network than watched the cancelled Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Exactly. On both of those posts.
It would be one thing if Baba were making a prediction. Leftists love them some doomsaying about how Trump will destroy us all at some undefined point in the future.
But this goes way beyond that into the world of (in the words of Mythbusters' Adam Savage), 'I reject your reality and substitute my own.'
And Phillip is right there with them.
We're used to that from her. We suppose she should at least be credited for being able to recognize when her 'team' is getting demolished on her show.
But she always jumps in to help them, and she just can't do it.
We love that analogy. Mostly because it paints the left as the bloodsucking parasites that they are.
That's probably giving most of them way too much credit.
Conservative pundit Ben Shapiro talks regularly about how the midterms in 2026 will not depend on anything as much as how well the economy is doing leading up to those elections.
He's not wrong about that. Regardless of everything else, it's still the economy, stupid. And right now, the economy is doing far better than many objective analysts expected.
Democrats know they are sunk if it keeps going this way, so they will try anything to deny the reality that inflation and consumer prices are down while the stock market is up.
Fortunately, we have folks like Kevin O'Leary (not to mention our own wallets and 401k accounts), who will not let them get away with it.
