Former CNN Host Brooke Baldwin's Oversharing Substack and Absurd TED Talk, with Emily Jashinsky

Brooke Baldwin was a CNN anchor for over 10 years. We played some of this yesterday in which she's she has a sub stack now in which she's bragging about casual sex and how she had the opportunity to sleep with four men this past month. One used to run a country. One literally flew in just to take me to dinner and then spends his days trying to save our democracy. One congressional district at a time. One is just hot. That's all you're getting for now. She says that her online dating profile reads integrity, brains, respect, big career, deeply spiritual about herself, serial monogamist. But taking a break from that for the first time in my life, rare window. I'm sorry, but like who talks about themselves like that? I have brains and a big career, just so you know. And I'm taking a break from my serial monogamy. And then she says, you know, this thing. Well, as it turns out, we should have paid to read the rest of her stupid sub stack, which we didn't because who gives a ---- about Brooke Baldwin, to be honest? And in the in the paid piece of the article, she confesses she actually did not have casual sex with these men. It was all just a teaser to get you to pay to listen to her lame recitations about her life. It's I don't know. I've got nothing. But her hypocrisy stands because this is the same person who went after Clay Travis. And now we've learned more about that incident. He was on her show at CNN and said he believes in two things, the First Amendment and boobs. And she, as it turns out, after that happened, wrote this long piece on CNN dot com playing this virtuous card of how horrified she was at Clay Travis and painting herself as the hero talking about how she wasn't prepared for this. But she's she was they applauded her on set at CNN after she cut his mic and told him to get out. And they men and women, men and women, they both applauded me. And then I got notes like from Pat Benatar. OMG, nice job cutting him right off, asshole, from friends and others. Good grief. It's effing 2017. I love you. Ridiculous. She repeats all this. She wants us to know about all of her because of her brains and her integrity. We need to know how what a hero she was and how much everybody looked up to her. Then she talks about how she her passion project is elevating women, talking to first to young women and seeing firsthand how so many of them feel empowered with a desire to be heard and get involved. And she wants to help lift women's voices. Now she really just wants them to, I guess, have casual sex with random hot guys. Clay Travis will never be coming back on my show ever. And she says he was demeaning to her. I mean, rather than just like laughing it off and being like, literally, every man out there loves boobs. All the straight men in the world feel as Clay Travis does. He was having some fun. He was making a funny joke, but she takes herself so seriously. She had to have her feminist moment. OK, anyway, you decided to put together a little homage to Brooke Baldwin's weird substack musings and her bizarre TED talk. And here it is in part. America is at an inflection point. Once one of the most powerful women in news. So many women, black, white, brown progress. Y'all know the story of how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly now thrust into a state of chaos, cast into the choppy waters of waning relevance, flailing for a life raft, Baldwin took to substack. Reality, the truth is at an inflection point. Over the last month or so, she wrote, I've had the opportunity to sleep with four different men. This is not a humble brag, nor have I suddenly become Samantha Jones, though. If that's your lane, do you, boo? You got to see the whole thing on Emily's after party feed. So funny. She did actually give a TED talk. Unbelievably. Here's a longer stop from it. Watch. Y'all know the story of how a caterpillar becomes a butterfly or you think you think you do? I'm going to rock your world right now. It's not like a caterpillar is like, OK, cool, cool, cool. Time to be a butterfly. No caterpillars like, hey, I'm a caterpillar. I'm a caterpillar. And all of a sudden it starts turning into goo. What are these caterpillar cells fighting? They're fighting what's called imaginal cells. What are imaginal cells? They're these teeny tiny seeds of the butterfly. The guess what? Have existed in the caterpillar all along. They start growing and they start multiplying and they start fighting. And by the way, sorry, nerd alert. Imaginal, the Latin root, imago, imago. What other words share the root? Imagination. Imagine. Image. And the imaginal cells, they use the goo to reconstruct an entirely new organism. So the caterpillar cells dissolve entirely into itself. And what comes from this process is an entirely new being. I believe this biological metaphor is the most profound of any example of transformation that exists. So to bring it full circle to us, we are the caterpillar. We're fighting the goo. This is the darkness before the It's unbelievable getting a window into who's been lecturing to us from the CNN set for almost 15 years, right? I was going to say there is a serious angle to this, which by the way, I didn't even finish that TED talk because I was so horrified by the beginning of it. Like it was making my skin crawl. It was making me, it was inducing a level of secondhand embarrassment that I don't think was survivable for more than 30 seconds. But I guess we just proved it wrong. I hear you. I mean, Lord have mercy. Brooke Baldwin is also clearly in the same category as Jim Acosta, as Don Lemon, as Terry Moran, as these people who were at quote unquote mainstream media purchase, very celebrated journalists at the top of their field who for years were telling us that they were just neutral observers. And then when they need to get money because they're thrust out of this high paying mainstream quote unquote mainstream media gig, they turn and totally just reveal themselves to be left-wing ideologues. She's been thirst tagging James Tallarico in posts. She's been hanging out with Nicole Hannah-Jones of the 1619 Project. Also there's the terrible confessional writing angle of all of this, which reminds me of somebody who wants to be Alina Dunham, but doesn't have any of the talent of Alina Dunham and just wants to kind of like exploit her exploits. It's all, there's this novel from 1973 called Fear of Flying by Erica Zhang that I feel like really started this like feminist confessional writing in a way where it's like you're supposed to be very proud about your sexual conquests as a woman, which most women- Even though she's made none. If you paid for that, as I bet producer Steve did, you should get your money back. Send an email. I know. That's terrible. No, producer Steve would like you to know he did not. Debbie Murphy did it. Canadian Debbie did it. God bless you, Debbie. This is like, look, this is what she keeps, she's posting this online of her like doing acrobatic yoga poses so we can see her ass. Those bikini photos are from her social media. She wants us to see her in a bikini. I'm like, I guess you've given up your news job because very few newswomen would actually post bikini photos of them. Even if they look great, they are too reserved, too professional, too intent on maintaining a professional relationship with the audience to do such a thing. She's referring to herself as a sapiosexual, meaning she's attracted to brains. What do you mean, like you're ******* human? Everybody is attracted to brains. Anybody keeps telling you how smart they are and how she'll only have sex with a smart guy probably isn't. This is getting more pathetic by the day. I don't know if CNN did this to her or just didn't catch this about her. But I'm starting to think Jeff Zucker was, he was on the right side. I think I'm on his side. Emily, he's the hero of the story. I think she's stuck in 2020. This might have worked with her small circle of New York City feminists at the time, but doesn't anymore.
