1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines. Stephen Colbert has been axed. Now

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: American late night TV host Jimmy Kimmel has been booted

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: by both Disney and the US network ABC from his

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: own show. Next on Trump's list Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers.

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 1: So here's what Jimmy Kimmel actually said on air making

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: fun of Trump's reaction to the murder of conservative activist

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. Kimmel suggested the man who's been charged with murder,

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: Tyler Robinson, could have sympathies to Trump's Make America Great

10
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: Again movement.

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 2: We had some new lows over the weekend with the

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered

13
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,480
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and

14
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: everything they can to score political points from. And in

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 2: between the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the

16
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: White House flew the flags at half staff, which got

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: some criticism, but on a human level, you can see

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: how hard the President is taking this.

19
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: Adults on the lot of your friend Charlie Kirk, asked

20
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: sir personally, how are you holding up over the last

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 3: day and a half, Sir, I.

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 4: Think very good. And by the way, right there, you

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 4: see all the trucks. They've just started construction of the

24
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 4: new borough for the White House, which is something they've

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 4: been trying to get, as you know, for about one

26
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty years, and it's going to be a beauty.

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: Yes, he's at the fourth stage of grief construction. There's demolition.

28
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: Construction.

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: This is not how an adult griefs the murder of

30
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,759
Speaker 2: somebody called a friend. This is how a four year

31
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: old mourns a goldfish. Okay.

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: Federal Communications commission Ship Brendan Karr was quick to attack

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: Kimmel and the broadcasters, suggesting there could be consequences for

34
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: their licenses. There's a big upcoming merger on the horizon

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: that will also need FCC approval.

36
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: We can do this the easy way or the hard way.

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: action frankly on Kimmel, or you know, there's gonna be

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: additional work for the FCC ahead.

40
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Trump celebrated Kimmel's suspension, and now he's demanding network NBC

41
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: sack the two remaining Big Late Night stars, Jimmy Fallon

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: and Seth Myers. Myers is already goading him.

43
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 5: Donald Trump is on his way back from a trip

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: to the United Kingdom, where he was met with protests,

45
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 5: while back here at home, his administration is pursuing a

46
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 5: crackdown on free speech and completely unrelated. I just want

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 5: to say before we get started here that I've always

48
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: admired and respected mister Trump.

49
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Brittany Higgins's husband, David Cherraz, has been ordered to pay

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Linda Reynolds ninety two thousand in damages plus legal costs

51
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: that may amount to a further half a million. That's

52
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: after he was found to have defamed the former Liberal

53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: minister in a series of social media posts. Higgins has

54
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: already been ordered to pay the former senator at three

55
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: hundred and forty thousand in damages and legal costs of

56
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: more than a million dollars, but Higgins has launched an

57
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 1: appeal against that finding. The appeal will delay bankruptcy proceedings.

58
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: Reynolds has already begun against Higgins. A very personal update
