It was 24 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: known at the time that Kirk was assassinated by a 25 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: guy who saw himself. 26 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: On the left. 27 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: Yes, he had a family that seemed normal and it 28 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: seemed Trump supporting and a good, you know, type of family. 29 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: But he got. 30 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: Radicalized because these things happen. The question is how do 31 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 2: they happen and how do we stop them from happening? 32 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 2: And took on a boyfriend he did who was transitioning. 33 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 3: This is how the story is told. And when you read. 34 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: That on the bullets that were found on the casings 35 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: that were found, hey, fashion catch that. 36 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: There's no difference between that and the thing said. 37 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: By Randy Weingarten and the American Federation of Teachers, or 38 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton or any member of the squad or any 39 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 2: member of the Democratic Party or any gust on MSNBC. 40 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: There is no difference in that phraseology. 41 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: The people we disagree with are fascists. It's it's like 42 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: when people put out that meme it's a children's book. 43 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: Everyone I disagree with is Hitler. Have you ever seen that? 44 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 2: I want to see if I can find it. It's 45 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: a it's a it's supposed to look like a children's book, 46 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 2: and it's a. It makes the point, right, I can't 47 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 2: find it right now. Oh there, it is there, It 48 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: is right there. Everyone I don't like is Hitler. There's 49 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: actually a book, a children's guide to online political discussions. 50 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's pretty good right there. But it's true. 51 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: It's true, and it's awful. And I've already engaged the 52 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 2: conversation a little bit earlier that no one is toning 53 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: down the rhetoric. And this is the only thing that 54 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 2: the left has to run on, hatred of It's the 55 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: only thing they have to run on. This is what 56 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel said. These are the words. We hit some 57 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 2: new lows over the weekend. 58 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 4: With the Magi gang desperately trying to characterize this kid 59 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 4: who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of 60 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 4: them and do everything they can to score political points 61 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 4: from it. In between the finger pointing, there was grieving 62 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 4: on Friday, the White House flew the flags at half staff. 63 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 3: Leave it there just for a moment. When he compares 64 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 3: Trump and his morning to a four year old morns. 65 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: Of goldfish because Trump got on one of his side 66 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: rants because that's what he does. 67 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 4: But it's this He hit some new Lows over the 68 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 4: weekend with the Magig gang desperately trying to characterize this 69 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one 70 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 4: of them and do everything they can. 71 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: To score political points. He could not have been more clear. 72 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 3: New Low's. 73 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: With the Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid 74 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 2: who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of 75 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: them and doing everything they can to score political points 76 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: from it. But he wasn't Maga, wasn't a Trump supporter, 77 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 2: and Jimmy Kimmel knew this not true. If you were 78 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 2: to take a look at social media feeds, you would 79 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: see Lefty's saying, I've gone over this clip numerous times, 80 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: and that's not. 81 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: What he's saying at all. What do you mean, That's 82 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: not what he's saying at all. It's the only thing 83 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 3: that he's saying. 84 00:05:53,240 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: He's saying that this guy was a Trump supporters, a bulwark, 85 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 2: which is an anti Trump or outfit. Jimmy Kimmel wasn't 86 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: being totally factually incorrect, but more to the point, he 87 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: was telling a joke. Censorship of comedians is pretty textbook 88 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: authoritarian behavior. 89 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: This is bonkers. That's exactly what I wrote on social media. 90 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 3: It's nuts. 91 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 2: He wasn't being totally factually inaccurate, what the hell? 92 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: And he wasn't telling a joke that was not a joke. 93 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 2: It's the same way I argue that he may be 94 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 2: a comedian, he may have come up as a comedian, 95 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,159 Speaker 2: but what I'm saying to you out loud is that 96 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 2: when he did that show, he wasn't engaged as a comedian. 97 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: He was engaged as a propagandist. And maybe the rules 98 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 2: should be different. I would argue the rules are different. 99 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 2: And if you want a great example of not bringing 100 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: down the rhetoric, check this post out from a guy 101 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: aimed Adam Mockler. I don't know who this guy is, 102 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 2: but this is what he put See if I can 103 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 2: do this. All he wanted to do was make you laugh. 104 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: Now we have no choice but to make you cry. 105 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 2: It's a picture of Jimmy Kimmel, And my question was, 106 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: what kind of middle school threat is this? All he 107 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 2: wanted to do was make you laugh, and now we 108 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 2: have no choice. But to make you cry. To Adam Mockler, 109 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 2: my question exactly, how are you going to do that? 110 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: How are you going to make me cry? How does 111 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 3: this work? In your mind? 112 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 2: When you wrote that down, what did you mean? Did 113 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: you mean that you're going to lose elections? Because when 114 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: I discussed it, I talk about them losing elections. The 115 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: Left cannot be allowed to win an election again. We 116 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 2: have to go out there and compete in every race everywhere, 117 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 2: tell our story, make our case, show off our policy, 118 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 2: and win. 119 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 3: And part of that is these people really want to 120 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: threaten you all day. 121 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: All he wanted to do was make you laugh. Now 122 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: we have no choice to make you cry, but to 123 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 2: make you cry. Exactly how does that? How does that work? 124 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: What do you mean, Adam Mockler. Adam Mockler, by the way, 125 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 2: is part of something called Midas touch. Okay, if if 126 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 2: that's the way, all you're telling me to do is 127 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 2: be aware, trust me with you progressives. I'm always aware. 128 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: So Jimmy Kimmel does this. The affiliates are very concerned 129 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: because the affiliates, whether it's next door or whether it's Sinclaire, 130 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: they're they're local and they've got local audiences and. 131 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 3: They don't want this. 132 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: And you have absolutely ask some economics where next to our 133 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 2: is trying to buy this group Tegna and they don't 134 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: want this screwed up by the FCC. We're not going 135 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: to argue that there isn't that level at play here. 136 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: We're also not going to argue that Jimmy Kimmel was 137 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: a pretty crappy employee not caring about the business future 138 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: because what he said did not have to be said. 139 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: No one is addressing this. Jimmy Kimmel did not have 140 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: to say any of that. 141 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: He could have continued to hate Trump had not said 142 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: that at all, but he couldn't stop himself. In the question, 143 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 2: of course we should ask is why. Well, it turns 144 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 2: out that question was someone asked. That question was asked 145 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 2: inside this Wall Street journal piece inside Didney's abrupt decision 146 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 2: to suspend Jimmy Kimmel's show. 147 00:09:55,840 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: This question was asked. 148 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 2: By Dana Walden, co chairman of Disney Entertainment, because before 149 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 2: the show Wednesday night, before all this went down. It's 150 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 2: interesting I was on Newsmax with Carl Higbee and we 151 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: were talking about just this because Kimmel had been mocking 152 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: Carl Higby for something he said on his show, and 153 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 2: I actually referred to Jimmy Kimmel as Jimmy blackface Kimmel. 154 00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 3: Because you know, he did that. 155 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: And literally minutes later, we learned that Kimmel was out 156 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: and I wasn't on the air at the time. So 157 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: Dana Walden, the co chairman of Disney Entertainment, reaches out 158 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: to Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy, Jimmy James, Jimbo, Jim Marino. So 159 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 2: we've got this problem then, and some of the affiliates 160 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 2: are not happy Sinclair Next Star. We're talking about more 161 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: than sixty local ABC stations. 162 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 3: They're not happy. Man, talk to me about your plan. 163 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 2: What is it that you're gonna do, You're gonna come 164 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 2: on tonight, what what is it that you're gonna you're 165 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 2: gonna say, Jimmy, Jimmy. 166 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 3: I don't want to edit you. I need to know 167 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 3: what's gonna go on here. 168 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 2: I need to know what you're gonna say because I 169 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 2: need to know how to deal with these affiliates. 170 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 3: What's gonna happen. 171 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 2: So what had happened in the conversation, of course, happened 172 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: between the two of them. What is believed to have happened, 173 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: is that Kimmel said that he was planning to say 174 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 2: that his words were being purposely twisted by some members 175 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 2: of MAGA. No apology was planned. No, hey, I really 176 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 2: shouldn't have said that was planned. But rather look at 177 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: those terrible MAGA people noticing what I said, and and oh, 178 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 2: of course you know I didn't say that, even though 179 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 2: we just heard it and he said it. His plan, 180 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel's master plan, was to quadruple down because Jimmy 181 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: Kimmel did not care about the stations, didn't care about 182 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: the advertisers, didn't care about their money, didn't care about 183 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 2: their future. No, no, Jimmy Kimmel cared about Jimmy Kimmel 184 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 2: being Jimmy Kimmel. And he's going to Jimmy Kimmel himself 185 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 2: all over the Jimmy Kimmel place. I'm important, I'm Jimmy Kimmel, 186 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: I host the Oscars. I'm Jimmy Kimmel. This is my 187 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: parking spot, this is my Porsche. I'm Jimmy Kimmel. Everybody says, yes, 188 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,719 Speaker 2: mister Kimmel, No, mister Kimmel, right away, mister kim O 189 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 2: yourself funny. 190 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 3: Mister Kimmel, Oh my gosh, didn't you know that? I 191 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 3: was Jimmy Kimmel. 192 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 2: I'm extremely important, Jimmy Kimmel, And he believed it. Never 193 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: believe your own hype, kids, Never believe your own hype. 194 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: And so after that conversation, after hearing that, Dana Walden 195 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 2: gathered the executive team. She gathered the senior executives and said, ah, 196 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 2: this is gonna be a problem. 197 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 3: They discussed staff safety. 198 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 2: According to The Wall Street Journal, including threatening emails to 199 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,599 Speaker 2: the staff on Kimmel's show. Don't threaten the staff, it's ridiculous. 200 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: Don't send death threats. It's just dopey as can be. 201 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 2: Don't threaten violent, don't do that. But they were concerned. 202 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: So she got the team together and they called Bob Iger, 203 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: the chief executive over at Disney, and that's when they decided. 204 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 2: Dana Walden, Bob Iger, they decided to take Jimmy Kimmel 205 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 2: off the air. Wasn't Brendan Carr, it was Igern Walden. 206 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: Jimmy Kimmel did this to himself. Jimmy Kimmel so believed 207 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: that Jimmy Kimmel should be able to say anything that 208 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 2: he never once asked, Wait, isn't there something bigger than 209 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: me out here? What about these people? What about the 210 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: responsibility I have to them? Nope, didn't care, And I 211 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 2: would argue, still doesn't care, still doesn't care. Supposedly he's living. Okay, 212 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: you're living. That's that's fine. You you be livid, and 213 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: then you have people going out there like, uh, oh, 214 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 2: what's his name?
