Scott Jennings Takes Down Touré and Jeff Jarvis

Gutfeld's comments followed a recent CNN segment where Jennings challenged Touré and Jeff Jarvis over their claims of an impending "fascist coup." As Jennings pressed them for specifics, their arguments appeared to crumble. Gutfeld highlighted how Jennings' ability to ask direct, logical follow-ups left his opponents floundering, calling it a "slaughterhouse" for weak arguments.

CNN's 'Struggle' to Find Opponents for Jennings

Gutfeld humorously speculated that CNN producers may have a difficult time booking panelists to debate Jennings. "They see it's like a Model U.N., like a collection of high school debaters who have no idea they're on a TV show," he quipped. 
He imagined producers reassuring guests that Jennings wouldn't be on — only for them to realize too late that they had walked into a rhetorical ambush.

Does Jennings Boost CNN's Ratings?

According to Gutfeld, CNN likely experiences a temporary ratings surge whenever Jennings appears on a panel. However, he joked that the numbers "crater" as soon as the segment is over. 
While CNN has struggled with overall viewership, Jennings' growing reputation as a sharp conservative commentator may be helping draw in Fox-leaning audiences who enjoy seeing his showdowns with left-wing panelists.

Social Media Reactions

The debate quickly spilled onto social media, where conservative users celebrated Jennings' CNN appearances. 
"Scott Jennings is the only reason I ever watch CNN clips. The man destroys leftist talking points with ease," one X user shared.
Others mocked Toure and Jarvis, with someone posting, "Jennings vs. CNN panelists is like watching a college professor debate toddlers." 
Meanwhile, liberal users pushed back, with one person stating, "Jennings is just a smug right-winger who never debates anyone serious. Bring him on against real experts."
