ta is quitting, apparently because they moved him to the midnight slot, which is what you do when you're trying to get somebody to quit on their own, because I think it's cheaper if they quit. So that plan worked. So Acosta's out now. He had been the dumbest guy, or I don't know if he's the dumbest. Let's say he was the one who seemed least interested in the truth. But they have this new dumb person, Catherine Rampell, who's on the panels with Scott Jennings and some other people. And she's quite a piece of work. It feels like CNN's just trying to put their business completely out of business. Like here's somebody you would only let on TV if you were trying to destroy your own business model. I mean, just incredible.

So she's sort of a seething TDS, that old racist kind of a panelist. And she went on a five-minute rant about how Elon Musk is clearly some kind of a racist Nazi because of all the little hints, all the little hints, including the fact that twice he's raised his hand above his waist. Oh, I didn't know that. Apparently twice one of his hands has been higher than his waist. Well, I guess I'm going to have to rethink everything here. I thought he wasn't a Nazi, but now that I know his hand has gone up twice above his waist, I'm rethinking everything.

But wait, there's more. There's more. So part of her evidence is that the actual Nazis in Germany, I guess, said it was a salute. Oh no. Oh no. The actual Nazis said it's a salute. In other words, CNN is using Nazis as their source of truth. Why would you use Nazis as your source, as your fact checkers? Did they replace Daniel Dale? I'd like to see Daniel Dale fact check that. Huh. If the Nazis say it's a salute, it must be a salute. It's not because the Nazis want to draw attention to themselves and act exactly like people that they're more popular than they are. No, it's not opportunistic at all.

Let me tell you the proper way to respond to that. When somebody says, but the Nazis say it's a salute, what you want to do is you would say, why do you think they think it's a Nazi salute? It's because they watched CNN. Where else would they learn that that was a Nazi salute? They didn't make it up on their own. Do you think they go around all day long, and every time somebody puts their arm in the air, they're like, yep, yep, there's another one, Nazi salute? No. The reason they're targeting Elon Musk is because CNN told them it's a Nazi salute. And then they look at the Nazis as the source. No, CNN, you're the source. The Nazis never even would have thought about it, because there's not a single Nazi that thinks that touching your heart and saying my heart goes out to you is a Sieg Heil. Not one. You can't find one Nazi that thinks that's the case. But you can find Nazis that watch CNN, can't you?

And do you think they watched Fox News? No, they weren't watching Fox News, because Fox News said this is ridiculous. It's obviously not a Nazi salute. So where are they getting their information? They're getting it from CNN. So CNN is the choice of news for the Nazis, which I think has to mean something, doesn't it? I mean, connect the dots, right? If the Nazis are getting their information from CNN, that would sort of suggest that CNN are Nazis, right? I'm just seeing how stupid I could be, see if I can get a job on the panel.

Anyway, and the fact that Netanyahu says absolutely he's not a Nazi. You know, he's a big friend of Israel. He came and he toured the Holocaust sites. You'd think that would be enough. I'd like to suggest the standard for knowing if somebody's a Nazi. Now, you couldn't use this as an absolute, but I think if the head of Israel says in public this is ridiculous, he's a friend of Israel, that should sort of settle it, don't you think? Because who's better at spotting Nazis, the actual head of Israel or a panelist on CNN? I don't know. I think Israel's got that down.

Scott Jennings warned that she went so far that she might want to lawyer up because it was just such obvious defamation. Now, I'm no expert on defamation, but suppose she did get sued for suggesting with her five minutes of evidence that Musk must be a Nazi. Suppose he sued her. What would be the defense? She would have to either say she wasn't trying to suggest he's a Nazi, which of course was the entire point of her entire thing. That would be ridiculous. Or she'd have to say I'm too stupid to know it's not true. So she'd actually have to, her defense would have to be that she says things that are not true and she knows it and didn't mean it. Like it would be a ridiculous defense because it's so obviously intentional and so obvious what her intention is. I don't know. I'm not sure if the lawsuit is worth that.

But then Abby Phillip, who's the host for that same panel, she's the CNN host, she gives Musk a hard time, I think separately, for saying that Germany needs to move past their guilt. So here's how she reframed "move past your guilt." She says, is forgetting the Holocaust. Did Elon Musk say we should forget the Holocaust? Again, he literally just toured the Holocaust sites with Netanyahu. Who else has done that? Who's actually toured the Holocaust sites with Netanyahu? That's as far as you can get from forgetting the Holocaust. So this is so disgustingly stupid and petty and weak that I'm going to guess that Abby Phillip will be the next one that CNN gets rid of, because their credibility is really tanking with that particular host. I mean, that's just unforgivable, really.

Anyway, Jim Acosta's out, as I said. He's quit CNN. But at least he has that Don Lemon career path ahead of him. What? No.

All right, I've got a question for you. I'm going to make a generalization. I don't think the generalization holds for every case, but it might. It goes like this. When a Fox News host leaves Fox News, they can get a big audience because they were a celebrity. Say Tucker Carlson. Now, Hannity is not planning to leave, but suppose he did. If Hannity left Fox News tomorrow, don't you think he'd have a huge podcast? He would, because he's a star. How about Gutfeld? He's not going anywhere because he's got two of his shows on Fox News. But what if he did? He would bring with him a gigantic audience because he's a star. And you could go right down the line. Jesse Watters, blah blah blah. Stars, stars, stars.

But here's what I noticed this morning. The stars make Fox News. That's what makes it the better show. Yeah, they also have better producers. I always say that their production skills are just amazing. So good. But they have lots of stars. And part of being good at producing is making sure you selected people with personality and charact
