0:31
know in this business where you report
0:33
news to people it becomes hard sometimes
0:37
to not come off to other people as
0:40
though you know more than them and it
0:42
can kind of be aggravating right so if
0:45
you're talking to your friends say I'm
0:47
talking to my friends and they have
0:49
other jobs this is not their full-time
0:51
job when you explain something to them
0:54
sometimes you know it can come off as
0:56
like you're a knowitall and I always try
0:58
and tell people like if you want to see
0:59
how smart I am ask me to fix your car
1:01
I'm useless okay so smart is relative to
1:05
what you're doing and you try you know
1:07
if you're in this position where you
1:09
know certain things about government and
1:10
what's going on to not sound like a
1:12
pompous jerk at least some of us try
1:15
that Jim maasta appears to take the
1:19
pompous jerk thing to a new level he
1:21
seems to enjoy acting like a pompous
1:23
Jerk It's almost like he wants you to
1:25
know he's a pompous jerk and he wants
1:28
you to believe more than anything that
1:30
he knows more than you and he knows
1:33
what's best for you and those things
1:37
those things make him to me one of the
1:38
biggest jerks on TV today well he was on
1:42
TV today but now he's finished see what
1:45
happened was they were going to move
1:48
aosta to the Midnight Hour where no one
1:50
could feel his power and that was going
1:52
to be kind of a old maybe an olive
1:54
branch to Trump say look here's one of
1:56
your biggest enemies we're taking him
1:57
off daytime still making a ton of M
2:00
right Jim aosta had a fit had a temper
2:05
tantrum and not only did he quit CNN he
2:08
made a spectacle of himself when he
2:11
publicly announced it on the air on
2:13
their show I want you to take a look at
2:15
this video and let me know what you
2:16
think in the comments you and I just
2:19
wanted to end Today's Show by thanking
2:20
all of the wonderful people who work
2:22
behind the scenes at this network you
2:24
may have seen some reports about me and
2:26
the show and after giving all of this
2:28
some careful consideration and weighing
2:30
an alternative time slot CNN offered me
2:33
I've decided to move on I am grateful to
2:35
CNN for the nearly 18 years I've spent
2:38
here doing the news people often ask me
2:41
if the highlight of my career at CNN was
2:43
at the White House covering Donald Trump
2:44
actually no that moment came here when I
2:49
covered former president Barack Obama's
2:51
trip to Cuba in 2016 and had the chance
2:54
to question the dictator there rul
2:56
Castro about the Island's political
2:58
prisoners as the son of a Cuban Refugee
3:01
I took home this lesson it is never a
3:04
good time to bow down to a tyrant Ive
3:08
always believed it's the job of the
3:09
press to hold power to account I've
3:11
always tried to do that here at CNN and
3:13
I plan on going doing all of that in the
3:16
future one final message don't give in
3:19
the lies don't give in to the fear hold
3:22
on to the truth and to Hope even if you
3:27
have to get out your phone record that
3:28
message I will not give into the lies I
3:31
will not give into the fear post it on
3:34
your social media so people can hear
3:36
from you too I'll have more to say about
3:39
my plans in the coming days but until
3:41
then I want to thank all of you for
3:42
tuning in it has been an honor to be
3:44
welcomed into your home for all these
3:46
