CNN commentators Scott Jennings and Kate Bedingfield clashed Friday during a live broadcast, stunning the controversial pundit into silence.

Bedingfield, former Biden White House communications director, and Jennings were part of a panel discussing the aggressive tactics employed by ICE agents in Minnesota when Jennings tried to defend the Trump administration's actions — saying people were not understanding President Donald Trump's messaging — when Bedingfield questioned his response. Both tried to comment on the scrutiny the administration has faced in a fiery back-and-forth.

"Can I, can I just say, trying to tell people that the images that they're seeing on camera is a wall of propaganda is not a winning strategy. People can see with their own eyes ICE," Bedingfield said.

That's when Jennings cut in.

"You're saying images are used for propaganda. ICE engages every day..." Jennings said.

Bedingfield responded again, emphasizing her point.

"We've all seen the footage of the ICE agent shooting the mother in the head two weeks ago. That is the backdrop behind which people are filtering in information," she said.

But Jennings tried to deny the video and images of ICE agent Jonathan Ross in the incident.

"We saw her hit him with the car as well. Actually," he said.

Bedingfield then pushed back on Jennings' claim.

"Actually, we did not," she responded.

"If you watched, if you watched the video," he said, trying to say that Bedingfield "can't even admit" that Ross was hit by Good with her car, which has been called into question.

"Scott Jennings, will you let me finish my sentence? I'll let you finish yours," Bedingfield fired back.

That's when the conversation went silent for a moment — and Bedingfield continued.

"You also had, after that event, you had the vice president of the United States go out and fully embrace the actions of the ICE agent," she said. "So I would argue if anybody is eroding the credibility of ICE, it's the Trump administration by throwing their arms around every single..."

Jennings again interjected and tried to argue that the people protesting should cooperate with law enforcement.

"Why won't they cooperate?" Jennings said.

And Bedingfield pushed back again.

"Every single errant and awful action that we're seeing from these people. So again, I think, you know, for Trump to say that his message is being lost when he and his administration are encouraging ICE to behave in a way that is clearly outside of the existing rules of engagement, is is absolutely ludicrous," Bedingfield said.

Ethereum Joins the Race to Become the AI Economy’s Base Layer

Ethereum Joins the Race to Become the AI Economy’s Base Layer

The post Ethereum Joins the Race to Become the AI Economy’s Base Layer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Ethereum Foundation is looking to make DeFi’s top blockchain the settlement and coordination layer for autonomous AI agents. The Ethereum Foundation is formally entering the artificial intelligence race with the launch of a new unit, the “dAI Team,” that aims to make Ethereum the “preferred settlement and coordination layer” for AI agents and the machine economy. The move comes as other networks, like NEAR Protocol and Solana, push similar efforts to develop blockchain-based infrastructure for the AI economy. In an X post on Monday, Sept. 15, dAI Team lead Davide Crapis, previously a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, said that the initiative will focus in two directions: First, building tools that let AI agents and bots transact and follow rules without intermediaries; Second, developing a decentralized AI stack so that future AI development doesn’t depend on a small number of centralized companies. Part of the effort centers on ERC-8004, a new Ethereum standard and so-called “trust layer” in the works that’s meant to give AI agents something like an on-chain reputation score. “This standard extends the Agent‑to‑Agent (A2A) protocol with a trust layer that allows participants to discover, choose, and interact with agents across organizational boundaries without pre‑existing trust,” Crapis explained in a forum post describing the proposed standard. With ERC-8004, instead of blindly trusting a bot, users would be able to check an agent’s identity, see how it’s behaved in the past, and confirm whether it meets certain requirements through registries stored on Ethereum. As Crapis added in the post, the Ethereum Foundation will work closely with the Linux Foundation and A2A ecosystem stakeholders to “refine and improve the specifications of this extension.” Nick Johnson, lead developer at ENS, a protocol for blockchain-based domains, told The Defiant that the urgent challenge with AI is to develop “decentralised standards…
