Triggered - Donald Trump Jr - Even For CNN... This Is Too Weird

Jeffrey Toobin returns to CNN seven months after being fired for masturbating on camera. Toobin's defense: He thought the camera was off, which made it okay apparently to masturbate while in a meeting with his work colleagues. This is CNN, folks. Watch this clip and decide for yourself whether or not this was a good or bad idea. This is a clip from CNN's "Zoom" in October of 2018, where Toobin was caught masturbating while on a call with colleagues from The New Yorker Magazine. He was fired from that job after 27 years of working there. And since then, he has been on leave from CNN. Well, guys, I'm glad he had seven months to think about it. He's working at a food kitchen to make him realize that maybe, maybe, playing with yourself while at work on a zoom call, whether the video is on or off, is in fact wrong. And I surely hope they don't think about that each and every time he's on air. Keep up the good work, buddy. We need more like Jeffrey Toobin in this business. And we need more clowns like him in the business. It makes everyone else realize how big a clown the media truly is. And I hope they see this and just have that visual of what they were doing while listening to their voices while they're trying to create whatever propaganda CNN is going to put out next on while they re doing this crap. It doesn't take much to come up with this crap, okay? It doesn t take much more than that, does it? And I think you'll agree that it's not that hard to make the media put out a lot of garbage, right? You know what they're not that they put out much more garbage, do you agree with that they're a clown? Well, they should be able to make it up in a way that makes you think about what they do it better than they actually do it? And they can be a clown like that, you know what you're going to be better than you do it in the job they're gonna do it right, right, don't they? or they'll get a chance to do their job better than that? And they'll have to do the job better, you'll have a better job of being a clowns in the future, right?? And you'll be better at it, don t you think they'll be more like that?

00:00:00.000 Okay, guys, you won't see me do this often, but you have to watch this clip from CNN. Yes, I actually said it.

00:00:08.000 The Communist News Network, you gotta watch this clip.

00:00:12.000 They brought back Jeffrey Toobin seven months after he got caught doing a little something-something on a Zoom call.

00:00:19.000 Now, his defense, he thought the Zoom... 0.83

00:00:22.000 Video was off, which made it okay apparently to masturbate while in a meeting with your work colleagues. 0.96

00:00:30.000 This is CNN, folks. 0.95

00:00:32.000 Watch this. I guess I'll recap.

00:00:34.000 I'll do the honors. Help yourself.

00:00:38.000 Okay. In October, you were on a Zoom call with your colleagues from the New Yorker magazine.

00:00:45.000 Everyone took a break for several minutes, during which time you were caught masturbating on camera.

00:00:53.000 You were subsequently fired from that job after 27 years of working there.

00:00:58.000 And you, since then, have been on leave from CNN. Do I have all that right?

00:01:02.000 You got it all right.

00:01:04.000 Sad to say. Okay, so let's start there.

00:01:07.000 To quote Jay Leno, what the hell were you thinking?

00:01:11.000 Well, obviously I wasn't thinking very well or very much and it was something that was inexplicable to me.

00:01:19.000 I think one point, I wouldn't exactly say in my defense because nothing is really in my defense, I didn't think I was on the call.

00:01:27.000 I didn't think other people could see me.

00:01:29.000 You thought that you had turned off your camera?

00:01:32.000 Correct. I thought that I had turned off the Zoom call.

00:01:35.000 Now, that's not a defense. 0.99

00:01:36.000 This was deeply moronic and indefensible. 0.98

00:01:40.000 But, I mean, that is part of the story. 0.98

00:01:46.000 And, you know, I have spent the seven subsequent months, miserable months in my life, I can certainly Confess.

00:01:54.000 Trying to be a better person.

00:01:56.000 I mean, in therapy, trying to do some public service, working in a food bank, which I certainly am going to continue to do, working on a new book.

00:02:04.000 Well, guys, I'm glad he had seven months to think about it.

00:02:07.000 He's working at a food kitchen to make him realize that maybe, maybe playing with yourself while at work on a Zoom call, whether the video is on or off, is in fact wrong.

00:02:21.000 Probably not a great idea.

00:02:23.000 I mean, you know, during the lockdown, Jeffrey, wasn't there plenty of other time throughout the day where you weren't on a Zoom call where you could take care of yourself?

00:02:32.000 I mean, I would think that you'd be able to make some time.

00:02:36.000 Between CNN and The New Yorker, you're not that busy, okay? 0.99

00:02:39.000 You guys put out a lot of garbage. 1.00

00:02:41.000 It doesn't take much to come up with this crap. 1.00

00:02:43.000 So, I think you'd be able to do it a little bit better. 0.98

00:02:47.000 I think you'd be able to hold off just a few minutes till that Zoom call ended, but I'm glad you're figuring it out.

00:02:56.000 I'm glad you're realizing now that it was wrong to not just hold off for a couple minutes for the Zoom call to end, that you could just turn off the cameras and listen to your coworkers as you pleasure yourself.

00:03:07.000 And I hope...

00:03:09.000 I hope that they see this and just have that visual of what you were doing while listening to their voices, trying to get, I assume, create whatever propaganda CNN is going to put up next on while you're doing that.

00:03:23.000 Because I'm not sure that's something that I could ever get out of my mind.

00:03:27.000 That'd be a swing thought that would haunt me for the rest of my life if I was your coworkers.

00:03:31.000 And I surely hope they don't think about that each and every time you're on the air, buddy.

00:03:36.000 Keep up the good work.

00:03:38.000 We need more like you in this business. 0.94

00:03:40.000 It makes everyone else realize how big a clowns the media truly is. 0.97
