We're talking about Jimmy Kimmel. If you hadn't 10 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: heard what he's he's back tonight. Is that right? 11 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: Yes, he is returning to the air tonight. 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: It was one heck of a suspension. Did that even 13 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: last a week? 14 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a five days. ABC said that they 15 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 2: had thought full conversations with Kimmel before deciding to reinstate him. 16 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 2: He was suspended indefinitely last Wednesday after he made some 17 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 2: controversial comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination. But yes, he will 18 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: be back tonight. However, he won't be back everywhere. Sinclair 19 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: Broadcast Group, which owns thirty one ABC affiliates, they say 20 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: they're not going to be airing his show tonight, and 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: stead they're going to broadcast news. 22 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: You're a TV person former. Yes, you still should be 23 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: on TV. 24 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 2: Thanks. 25 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: You and Phil Sanchez would do a great program together. 26 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: That not on any way disperching the people currently doing 27 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: programs with Phil Sanchez, but I've always thought you would 28 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 1: make a great team. How big of a deal if 29 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: I like baseball enough? How big a deal is thirty 30 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: one television stations in terms of the like landscape? 31 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,279 Speaker 2: Is it like thirty one markets? 32 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, don't don't let the door hit you where the 33 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: good Lord split you. It's an airport, it's not an airport. 34 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: You don't need to announce your departure or they're like, oh, shoot, 35 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: that's really going to hurt us. 36 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: Uh, well no, I think that would. That's really that's something. 37 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 2: It really depends on the markets that they're. 38 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: Well, that's what I'm asking you. 39 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: Like there, I don't know exactly which markets the ABC 40 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: affiliates are in. For example, the television station that I 41 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: formerly worked at was a Sinclair group. Okay, so however 42 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: I was on a Fox, not on ABC. I get it. 43 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to put this in perspective for audience. 44 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: So let's just say, just look, some we're gonna be bigger. 45 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: Some we're gonna be smaller. But let's just say it 46 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: was thirty one South Beins. Let's say you lost. Let's 47 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: say the average market there in is South Bend, Indiana. 48 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: Would that at all motivate or move how ABC programs? 49 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: If thirty one South Bend said we're out? 50 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean it is, what the second largest 51 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: television group. 52 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 1: In the country, So they do have some influence. Yeah, definitely, Okay, 53 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: they've got some, but there's some reason they've decided to 54 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: bring this guy back. 55 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: Now. 56 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: Carl Tony's producer that are known as Conspiracy Carl has 57 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: his own little program that he does, Conspiracy Carl's Corner 58 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 1: with Ethan believes that the fix is in and this 59 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: whole thing was planned, and that they're doing this just 60 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: to get like a hit for Jimmy Kimmel. Like this 61 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: whole thing publicity is designed to give him a bump 62 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 1: because otherwise nobody's watching Kimmel. And now people be like, Ooh, 63 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: I wonder what he's gonna say. And I don't necessarily 64 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: rule that out. My question just be Okay, so somebody 65 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: watches him the first night back and the show still stinks. Yeah, 66 00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: you got to come. 67 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 2: Back, said why right. Well, you had I don't know, 68 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 2: four hundred plus Hollywood figures signing some big letter defending 69 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: free speech and demanding that Kim will come back. And 70 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 2: so he's coming back, and then he'll be on there tonight. 71 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 2: Well guess what he's got to produce again Wednesday night? Yeah, 72 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: and then Thursday night and then Friday night. Oh, and 73 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,799 Speaker 2: then next week and then the week after that, and 74 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 2: the week after that and on and on and on 75 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: and on. Right. 76 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: So, I don't know, it is interesting that that that 77 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: could be what I guess it would determined. Did Kim 78 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: will get paid while he was quote unquote suspending because 79 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: he ain't give it up no money? If it was all, 80 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: you know, if they were all in on the you know, 81 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: the work together or whatever. Here's the point of all 82 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 1: of this. Society will still police it whether Kimmel's on 83 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: the air or not. If you don't watch it, then 84 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: it will naturally take care of itself, because they're not 85 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: gonna have something on that nobody pays attention to and it' 86 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: so if you simply don't engage with the product, the 87 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: same AAU you would advertisers on a program where somebody 88 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: says something you're upset with or whatever, then it'll all 89 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: take care of itself, whether Kimmel's. 90 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: There or not. So Kimmel, he negotiated his return directly 91 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 2: with Disney CEO Bob Iger, and he's going to address 92 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: allegedly the controversy in his monologue tonight, but he's not 93 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: going to apologize for it. Now. Next Star, who's another 94 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: major affiliate owner, hasn't confirmed whether they're going to erit 95 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 2: or not. 96 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: Okay, so let's back up for just a second. And 97 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll get in big trouble for even asking 98 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 1: this question. I have seen the take of many people, 99 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,119 Speaker 1: including some concerned look like rand Paul has come out, 100 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, against this, and. 101 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz against his return. 102 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: The suspension, and well it's primarily I'm not so much 103 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: his suspension as the heavy hand of the FCC orders 104 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: perceived as the heavy hand of the FCC. 105 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: Todd Young was even saying, you know what, Brandon Carr 106 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: crossed the line, right, who's. 107 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: The chairman of the FCC. The argument is Kimmel wasn't 108 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: in sight. Now he says that that's fact incorrect. Right 109 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: about the shooter. That's bad, But there's also an argument 110 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: that Kimmel was simply talking about Trump's reaction to it 111 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: and what he sort of believe was the hypocrisy of 112 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: Trump's reaction to it, talking about the ballroom and everything else. 113 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 1: You know, your good friend has you know, been assassinated, 114 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: and is that really going to be on the you know, 115 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: the first thing you're thinking about. And he was insulting 116 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: that they have a case for that. Do they have 117 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: a case to say, Well, we were going after the 118 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,679 Speaker 1: president showing a ridiculous he's being about it. However, people 119 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: are laughing, people are having a good time. You can't 120 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 1: be laughing and having a good time in delivering jokes about, 121 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, in or around some guy's assassination. 122 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was in poor taste, but again it will 123 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 2: you know, the public will police this via rating. Sinclair 124 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: asked Kimmel to apologize and also donate to Turning Point USA. 125 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: Oh that ain't gonna happen. 126 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 2: Well, no kidding, even though he could. Yeah, no, he's 127 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: in a financial position where he could do that. 128 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: No way is that happening.
