Do you remember those ridiculous media interviews with General Norman Schwarzkopf as U.S troops were preparing to liberate Kuwait from the invasion by Iraq? The media asking Schwarzkopf repeatedly, “where are our troops?” …. “how many soldiers are there?” … “what exact time are you going to attack?” … and “how many forces will you use in the ground attack – how many troops will arrive from sea?” Schwarzkopf smiled, laughed at the media and kept telling them, repeatedly, he was not going to answer these operational questions for obvious reasons.
Today, CNN host Dana Bash does that exact same routine as she pretended to just find out that Border Czar Tom Homan is going to begin the deportation operation he previously outlined. Ms. Bash wants to know how many ICE officers, where are they going, what cities are being targeted, what are the names of the people being targeted by ice, and how long do they have until ICE officers arrive. Seriously, no joke, this is the priority of questioning. WATCH:
.
lolol…. It’s a new era now, and the media are having a hard time adjusting to it.
Dana needs to get off the ‘pipe’.
It’s obvious that intelligence is not one of the boxes checked for DEI journalists.
She sounds like she acted in an old Looney Tunes cartoon, “Which way did he go, George?”
The media tactics are so transparent after so many yrs of their drivel. It is funny to watch.
Agree. However, I am tired of seeing the same loser media heads performing the same stupid line of questioning.
No need to watch this ‘drivel’ anymore.
Please stop giving interviews to these fake media outlets; doing so shows the Trump administration kowtowing to the MSM and Democrats.
IT IS TIME TO FORGE A NEW MEDIA.
There are plenty of high-quality independent journalists out there that can drive home the MAGA message.
They are completely irrelevant now, but they don’t know it.
Wonder now how much of a cut in pay her hubby will take since he is on the list of “51” intelligence agents that just had their credentials revoked by PDJT? Maybe she can teach how to code…..
“They are completely irrelevant now, but they don’t know it.”
Please tell that to the people who watch these Sunday morning shows.
Please someone buy CBS and rename it ConservativeBroadcastingSystem.
I agree. BUT, I love the way this guy handles the media. We need AMERCIANS to stop the BS right where it starts. He does not allow her to spread it, with short concise rebuttal’s!!!!!!!
MAGA It will take intensional effort, not backing away.
You nailed it, 307. All of DJT’s people who deal with msm types need to follow suit: short, concise answers and rebuttals.
You are in a debate, not a ‘friendly conversation’.
Act like it.
That ‘journalist’ is out to get the ‘gotcha’ quote – to ‘Lesley Stahl’ you – to edit the interview to find that one thing they can use to paint you as:
Heartless
Evil
Cruel
‘Right wing’
Underhanded
Unfair
Unjust
And whatever other negative attribute they can hang on you.
Keep It Short and Simple.
Most times, they won’t be ready for it.
Know also, ahead of time, that you – as a rational conservative – will NEVER be given the benefit of the doubt, on Anything.
Prepare for a verbal battle, and know what you want to achieve by this interview.
Get Your message out – don’t let them try to use you to fashion their narrative.
Spot on Smitty! Stop giving interviews to the Bash & company newsreaders. The troubling issue is the sudden comprehension issue by Dana Bash. Maybe Homan should have spoken slower to help her comprehend the straightforward answers? I’m sure Bash was none to pleased with Tom Homan not taking the bait either, concerning the Afghans.
The Left Wing media is so predictable they are boring!
Same script every single time read by the same idiots.
You would almost think they signed up for one of Elon’s brain chip implants.
Let’s stop calling it “illegal immigration,” and call it: “HUMAN TRAFFICKING.” And: “INVASION.”
neocolonialism
The gloBULLists want to impose feudalism on the entire planet. Trump started blowing that up in 2015. We have a ways to go but they will not be successful. Could get even more ugly at times.
Or…”Globullies”?
That was a good one!
Foreign invasion.
1,000 upvotes!! Truth!! Change the words, change the naritive!!
Yes, and let us call them what they are, felons, and not illegals.
Is it me or is Dana Bash starting to look like Henry Winkler?
Or Mr. Ed.
Exactly — her horse face is made worse by her trying to keep a “straight” face! BTW when I looked over the list of 51 intelligence community signers of the letter implying Russian collusion re: Hunter Biden’s laptop whose security clearances have now been revoked, I saw that there was a Bash listed. Dana’s Husband?
Jeremy Bash is her ex-husband.
“Ex” being the operative descriptive.
Can’t blame him, can you?
I heard she dates John F’n Kerry, the horseface standard.
A Dog Face Pony Soldier no less.
If that’s the case, I wonder if they have a face off.
Uck… a nest of traitors.
He’s married to Tersa Heinz Kerry, right?
Is she still alive?
Ter-RAY-sah to you, peasant! LOL
They’re kind of old, beyond “child-bearing years,” but OMG!
Not nice to bash someone when they are down
ask Plouffe about it !!!!
Well, she has jumped the shark…
Lassie.
Mary McCords sister
NO, it’s not you. All she needs is a leather jacket.
I am happy I wasn’t drinking coffee when I read that!
it seems they are loosing their contacts from within that have been leaking to them.
CUT THE CORD
2025
How did she ever get a gig in broadcasting??? She looks and sounds dull; she’s rude. She looks like she hates her job – no life at all.
“She looks and sounds dull; she’s rude.”
All women in the MSM act and look this way. It is their propped-up way of showing the fawning public that they are ‘serious’ journalists. Unemotional, hard hitting. BS.
It’s just Hollywood in the newsroom.
I usually watch sports with the sound off (and immediately turn off the TV when the commercials come on). And that’s pretty much the only TV I watch at all.
I hate the way the networks turn sports into a three-ring circus. Constantly highlighting the obnoxious showboating of the players and non-stop shots of the most obnoxious people in the stands.
But my favorite is when they show these babe reporters on the sidelines with their oh so important game updates. When you watch them with the sound off it’s hysterical.
I just focus on what they’re wearing and their makeup, jewelry and hair, as they try to act all serious while delivering such important news (which I’m happy not to actually hear).
Watching them with the sound off just emphasizes how unnecessary their presence is.
A: The sullen look is meant to convey disinterested fact-finding, when she is, in actual fact, trying to paint legit enforcement as illegitimate.
And her questions are meant to assist illegals, Cartels, Sex Traffickers and Tren de Obama-gangsters evade the Law.
That’s what “Sanctuary” means; exemption from the Rule of Law, laws enacted by We the People through our legislators.
Then it backfired.
Homan’s take away was if you are illegal and you shelter criminal aliens, we will deport you too. A message very useful to ICE
She wanted a Trump boogey man story and got nothing.
Even better, aliens here for a better life would embrace the message Homan gave:
Right now we are getting rid of the criminals living among you.
What’s not to like?
OK I’ll go back and watch it…
Where are the three hundred thousand children? Why do they never mention them as a result of trafficking across the open border?
Some DO bring up those “missing” children, but of course those delicious moments litter the floor in the edit room.
Dana Gash….such a tool..the demedia just oozes. We can’t hate them enough
I love Tom Homan, but why is he wasting his time speaking to a low IQ twit like Dana Bash, on a TV network that draws fewer viewers than The Food Network?
Our politics and our culture are riddled with “pretending,” as so often discussed here at CTH. Here we see Tom Homan pretending that CNN is a legitimate news organization watched by a large number of Americans. He’s pretending that Dana Bash is an honest, intelligent person capable of discussing important issues. It’s all pretending and it’s very tiring.
May God bless Tom Homan. May He strengthen Mr. Homan as he continues his important work.
Tom Homan has spent a career of 40 years dealing with immigration.
He knows more in his little finger than the interviewer will ever know.
She’s keeping to ‘the narrative’ that ANY immigration enforcement is…. EVIL!!! Yes, Evil!!!
That’s all they want the viewer to hear.
Homan sticks to the facts, and does not elaborate.
It leaves the interviewer scrambling, because she doesn’t have time to formulate another followup question.
She really didn’t do her homework before interviewing Homan.
It’s different when you’re talking with an experienced, intelligent person who has a mission – and knows what their job is.
She sounds like a newbie at a local station.
No contest.
Imagine William F. Buckley
debating a mental giant like fjb.
No contest.
Mr. Holman is a force Miss Dana can’t handle.
He is speaking directly into airport TVs everywhere (for now) and giving the TSA, etc. a clear and definitive message.
Great point
Do the illegals watch CNN?
I should have read down further before I replied to Bruce Gordon. I could have just upvoted you.
Alpha Homan, playing like a cat does with a mouse before ending it’s misery. He knows exactly what she is trying to do, not his first rodeo, almost as bad as when he gets questioned before a House Intelligence meeting with Democrats.
“but why is he wasting his time . . . on a TV network”
Because he got a low IQ idiot to produce a useful video clip to spread his message all over the internet.
Why? To reach low-info viewers.
Don’t be too hard on Homan, he knows CNN is on in every airport across the country.
I cannot put into words how much I despise the media.
That was really painful to watch, the disbelief on Homans face at the level of stupid questions was priceless.
Even listening to this short clip of Bash once again demonstrating her inability to perform the duties of her job…journalism. The have been nothing more than propagandist and Deep State tools. Like Don Lemon they’ll find themselves on the trash heap of meaningless self-importance.
She perpetually reminds me of the dog that watches the puppy’s dish get filled and realizes there is no dish for her.
Why the long horse face Dana?
My gosh she is such a douche nozzle.
Dana Bash … enemy operative
She reminds me of the story about Winston Churchill and Lady Astor.
You can’t leave us hanging… please remind us of that story.
Lady Astor: If you were my husband, I’d put poison in your drink.
Winston: Madame, if you were my wife, I would drink it.
Dana Bash’s questions fill time between the commercials. That is all.
The strategy is to stay on the Air as long as possible. CNN has no legitimate understanding of how to do that with real news. Just a bunch of grifters.
This woman has the sads. Too bad, so sad.
I would’ve asked Dana Bash
would you like illegals to be your neighbors, if not, why ?
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
That poor woman looks as though she has something uncomfortable lodged in her you know what. Oh wait! She does! it is Tom Homan’s boot!
That is the sad face of a liberal talking head trying to retain some sense of revelance in the post mortem of the Biden regime.
I made it to 1min13sec…..
Watch to the end

Watch to the end (10 seconds)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VgGA3NAhiZg
it’s called OPSEC.
Why the sad face Dana? Are the six illegals living with you going to get rounded up and sent home? All those on Martha’s Vineyard too, they will be gone. And those gated communities, better reinforce the gates.
snow today, ICE tomorrow.
The lame stream media will never learn until they completely go broke. Boycott the trash alphabet media and never give them an interview.
I love how he talks like he’s got rocks in his his mouth, — that’s how I know he’s the real deal and not a psyop — and Bash visibly straining to understand him lol.
Bash talks like she’s got rocks in her head.
Please let us know so we can be there with our cameras to catch ICE mowing down our crisis actors.
These leftists are not going to stop being insufferable.
You can bet the first impressive scoop of illegals will get nonstop legacy media play. Problem might be no insider tipping that media off…
The assault by the media and forces aligned against President Trump are going to behave and act out in an even worse manner than 2017-2020. The OP-Tempo of these enemies of the People is going to be on a 24 hour cycle and not some weekly cause of the week basis.
Although their zeal may actually work to push some Uni-party members back into the fold as it becomes apparent that they too are on the must remove list.
There was not a single MSM Outlet, on any media, which did not go 100% anti-Trump last night. Even faux conservative outlets like newsmax have attacks by enemies f the state on their sites…WITHOUT editorial comment.
The lawfare foot soldiers have moved from within the Government to well funded NGO’s. The courts are already starting to fill with law suits in selected court room venues.
Democrat run States and Cities are structuring their finances to fight President Trump vs seving the citizens living in their areas. Hopefully, President Trump is able to exploit his maybe good relationships with Mike Johnson and force the Senators (doing the Trump Dance- in public) to ensure ALL new spending BILLS prohibit use of money outside the line items the money was authorized to support…and limit use of welfare to US Citizens.
The Objective of the assault is the down ticket 2026 Elections.
Do not dismiss this objective..the target audience is not us..it’s the 30-40% who may have gone with a MAGA President in 2024 but are still not fully bought into the cause…there are still la la landers who can be swayed at local levels.
You mean, the elections they can still steal at the Congressional and lower levels…
A miserable lot these people they think they will gain much when in reality they will never have the Joy of having the Holy Spirit in dwelling their body.
Nothing else satisfies.
.
5
My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food,
and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips,
6
when I remember you upon my bed,
and meditate on you in the watches of the night;
7
for you have been my help,
and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.
8
My soul clings to you;
your right hand upholds me. Ps. 63:5-8

It is so obvious that she is trying to make him say that they’re going to round up anyone that looks even somewhat foreign, beat them to a pulp, throw them into detention camps and finally throw them out of planes over their country of origin. She refused to comprehend that sanctuary cities that release dangerous criminals back out into their communities are causing more immigrants to be detained as collateral damage. She brought up children like Tom Hogan was some kind of ogre for not giving children and their families a automatic path into the country… How about we find the 340,000 children that are missing before we start bringing more children into this country to disappear? It is obvious that this TV host has the same brain power as the audience she caters to.
If you dare, read some of Elizabeth Nickson’s posts on substack . She lays out the god awful truth about these missing kids. Best bring a couple of barf bags if you are serious.
Bash wants to know so she can tip off her compatriots then say Homan leaked privileged information to her.
Dana’s ex-hubby, Jeremy, just got his security clearance revoked.
Dana Bash is a clown…
Sadly Dana Bash looks so pitifully full of evil.
.
She looks like she has cancer.
.
Only prayer and fasting can drive out the kind of evil that she has courted.
I could only stand a few minutes of this. Gheesh!
Dana makes a certified idiot look like a MENSA member.
Tom Homan has the patience of Job to be part of this “interview.”
I imagine this was also an attempt at a “gotcha” against our new Border Czar not only brought on by the disgusting CNN and their attempts at journalism, but also by the forces against immigration who likely supplied most of this bimbo’s questions. So glad to watch Mr. Homan politely but firmly parry each egregious and intrusive query that had deliberately been designed to undermine and disrupt President Trump’s border agenda.
He did a good job.
He will enforce the INA.
That’s the ‘law of the land’ when it comes to immigration.
Something fjb ignored for 4 years.
The demons inside her are having their way with her appearance.
He’s so good and showing enormous patience and self- discipline.
Is this an IQ problem or what?
I’m just curious how this woman got this job. What does she bring to the table?
I realize the accuracy of closed captioning is always jankey at best, but I had to smile every time Sec. Homan said “ICE is…”, the CC interpreted it as “isis”!
Can’t eve listen to this crap. This is one of the reasons I like President Trump, he just won’t put up with this B.S. Ton Homan has waaaay more patience that I would with this woman.
So Jar-Jar Binks got a hair transplant and a new wardrobe. Who donated the hair and who provided the new wardrobe? Is this just a cover for a clandestine reporter working for the cartels? And by God who provided her with the list of questions? There’s the real crime right there!
I like Tom Homan, and I’m just smiling at seeing the man go to work. Hunt ’em down, Tom! Clear out the invaders!
Has her face gotten longer over the years – or is it just me?
I only see show segments, I don’t have cable or satallite, so I only see excepts of programs like this on occasion.
These mainstream national mediots remind me of that movie The Sixth Sense.
“I see dead people, walking around like regular people. They don’t see each other. They only see what they want to see. They don’t know they’re dead”
I would blow up the whole circuit at the broadcast tower by responding: under former President Biden, the Secret Service, the Homeland Security, the Intelligence apparatus could not find who was responsible for the bag of cocaine in the White House. Perhaps the mighty snoop dog media should settle down and get an answer for that one, before they jump on the 10 million illegal problem in the country.
