Jennings highlighted his own weekly observations of the National Guard&#8217;s positive impact, contrasting it with Elrod&#8217;s lack of direct experience. The discussion also touched on Democrats&#8217; tendency to project authoritarian accusations onto Trump and their repetitive denial of the criminal implications of illegal immigration. Despite the contentious and often misleading claims made by panelists, Jennings maintained composure, emphasizing the effectiveness of the National Guard and criticizing Democrats&#8217; support for criminals and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/its-happening-president-trump-issues-warning-swing-states-that-found-massive-voter-fraud-which-is-all-of-them-cannot-legally-certify-these-votes\/\" title=\"IT\u2019S HAPPENING: President ...
