CNN -anchor Kate Bouldan lost her cool with the Republican Outlier Scott Jennings of the news network during a tense debate about transparency and Elon Musk.
Earlier this week it was Abby Phillip who encouraged Jennings, one of the few conservatives of the Fading Network, and said during a debate that she could “talk more slowly” so that he could understand a point.
On Wednesday morning, Jennings appeared on CNN News Central with Bouldan when the discussion about Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) and the controversial press conference came up on Tuesday.
Jennings was asked for his thoughts about Musk's efforts: 'Musk, who does not have to do this, has, you know, he could do something else. He has companies, he is the richest man in the world. '
Bouldan was skeptical, which caused Jennings to hammer home the point that Musk did this in his opinion for patriotic reasons.
“Has decided to give his own time to a government of a country that he loves, who has given him all these opportunities. I assume his word that he wants to be transparent that he invites transparency, “he said.
Jennings added that the entire media 'investigate him every day' and should not be afraid of congress supervision.
Bouldan rejected the idea that Musk was 'transparent' about the nature of his work.

“They make routine announcements about the things they find and they express ask about the things they find every day,” Jennings claimed.
She replied: 'But by definition he is not transparent. They are not, they do not provide data for the things they say they have found evidence. They just don't. '
“So you just don't believe it. I mean, they are that they provide information. You just choose not to believe it is true, “Jennings said about the announcements that Musk and Company did.
Bouldan hit back: 'I don't think I don't think someone should just believe it is true. Do you think people have taken a bribe of dozens of billions of dollars from USAID? Do you believe that? '
The couple afterwards became entangled in the crush, in which Jennings wanted to know if Bouldan believed in the 'waste, fraud and abuse' from Washington trying to eradicate that Musk.
“That's not what you ask me and I'm going to ask the questions. Don't accuse me of just like “Zei, before Jennings was interrupted.
'And so if you believe that, do you believe that it is possible that they find and produce information about it? Of course they are. '
Bouldan shot back: 'That was not my question. My question was: by definition they are not transparent. They can remain successful '

Jennings then wondered what she wants Doge to worry about her.
“Give data if they firs, provide information that they have found people to know if someone has received a bribe on the melody of tens of millions of dollars,” she argued.
“I don't agree with you. I love the idea of data. I love the announcements. I like that they regularly report reports about what they do, “said Jennings.
“They don't have that,” Bouldan claimed.
'And I love the idea of the congress that she also informs the congress about what they think, because the congress must ultimately also be involved in this. I have no problem with that and I think they don't. And that is what I heard yesterday in his press conference, “said Jennings.
After that the pair seemed to reach peace and continued.
Jennings, a rising star at CNN, who has since joined the La Times Editorial Board, is said to participate in a conservative answer to 'The View' started by the owner of the newspaper.
Musk and his son X took over the oval on Tuesday afternoon to mark President Donald Trump who signed an executive order.
The order, which was not immediately released by the White House, was intended to “considerably” scale the federal workforce, so that agencies do not hire more than one employee for every four employees who leave, according to Semafor.
Trump did not even bother to sign the order for reporters, so that instead Musk can hold with his toddler for more than 30 minutes, asking the President Musk to reveal some of his findings.
