Scott Jennings taunts ex-MSNBC host for losing her job during heated tariff debate
While discussing the recent developments around Trump's tariffs, the conversation pivoted to the president's aspirations of acquiring Greenland from Denmark.
Cross slammed Trump's plans, claiming, "It's a colonizer's attitude to say, 'I like it, I'm just going to steal it.'"
"Steal what?" Jennings interjected.
"Land, land," Cross responded. "You cannot just go and say, 'I like it, it's mine now.' It doesn't work that way. That is what they're trying to do. And in this new world order…"
Jennings chuckled and asked, "What?"
The two continued to argue, with Cross turning up the heat when she labeled Jennings "irrelevant."
"I'm not even talking about you. You're not a member of government. So you're irrelevant on that point. I'm talking about the president of the United States," Cross quipped.
Jennings fired back, saying, "You got fired from your job. How relevant are you?"
"Scott, if you want to engage in personal insults…" Cross replied before being interrupted by Jennings.
"I don't, but you do," Jennings responded.
Cross quickly blasted Jennings, saying, "What you lack in the legitimate point, you make up for it in personal insults."
Jennings once more told the ex-MSNBC host, "I don't. You do."
The argument continued, with Cross claiming that Trump's foreign policy is causing the U.S. to become "increasingly isolated on the world stage."
Jennings disputed Cross's argument that the United States was becoming more isolated, to which Cross replied by accusing Jennings of engaging in "personal insults."
"So if you want to engage in personal insults, if I were you, I would reserve that for your party, who has increasingly isolated our position…" Cross said before being interrupted by other panelists.

DNC chair says 'bulls---' on air as Dem frustrations over Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' mount
The chairman of the Democratic National Committee let an expletive slip on air when describing President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" on Thursday. Ken Martin, who was elected DNC chair earlier this year, called Trump's bill "bulls---" during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." Network censors didn't catch the word as he said it, so it came out clearly during the broadcast. "Don't make no mistake about it. The Democratic Party, we're here to fight. We're here to win, and we're here to make sure that we actually give the American people a sense that their better days are ahead of them, and that this bulls--- bill that they see right now in Congress, that's not going to happen if you put Democrats back in power." It didn't appear to be an accident, as Martin had already described the bill that way on social media. Schumer Forces Name Change For 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Moments Before It Passes Martin made the statements ahead of the final congressional vote on Trump's $3.3 trillion government spending package. At the time, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., had launched into what would be a multi-hour speech on the House floor to delay the vote. Read On The Fox News App Final passage of the bill came on Thursday afternoon after Jeffries yielded the floor. During his TV appearance, Martin savaged Trump's bill and the Republican lawmakers who supported it, calling their actions a "betrayal." "This is one of the biggest betrayals we've seen in recent history, and we're going to remind voters next year – trust me – this is not going to go well for Republicans. And someone said this earlier, they are handing us a gift on a silver platter," he said, noting the potential political capital the Democratic Party could get with the bill's passage. Republican Lawmakers Stand Firm Against Musk's 'Kill The Bill' Assault On Trump's Agenda He continued, arguing that the bill will ultimately "be disastrous for the American people, who are – their lives are going to be shattered and communities are going to be afflicted with a lot of pain over the coming years because of this bill." As he went on, Martin mentioned how his party was galvanized in opposition to the bill and will succeed in the midterm elections against the GOP and Trump administration, which he described as an "authoritarian regime" which has "an unimpeded path to do whatever the hell they want to inflict more pain and damage in this country."
