1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: ABC News is pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live quote indefinitely. Why 2 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: did this happen because of comments that he made about 3 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. But it wasn't just that. It was more 4 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:20,479 Speaker 1: about follow the money. Next Star Media, one of the 5 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: nation's largest TV station owners, said that it would stop 6 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: airing the program in response to Jimmy Kimmel's remarks about 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: the killing of conservative activists and friend Charlie Kirk. Now, 8 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: you may be asking yourself what did he say, because 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: the majority of you listening, I have a feeling did 10 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,200 Speaker 1: not watch Jimmy Kimmel when he did this or ever. 11 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: So I'm going to play it for you and then 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: you can decide afterwards if you believe ABC got it right. 13 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: All right, I want to take a moment and I 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: want to talk to you real quick about what you 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: can do to help the people in Israel. It was 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: nearly two years ago that the terrorists murdered more than 17 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: twelve hundred innocent Israelis and they took two hundred and 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: fifty hostages. Today, it seems as if the cries of 19 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: the dead and dying have been drowned out by the 20 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: shouts of anti Semitism and just pure hatred, not just 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: in America but around the world. And the most brutal 22 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: attack on Jewish people happened. It happened since the Holocausts, 23 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: and now it's like they're trying to act like it 24 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: never happened. Now, this is where it is important for 25 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: us to stand with the people in Israel. It's a 26 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: movement of love and support for the people of Israel, 27 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: and this is where I want you to get involved. 28 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: It is called Flags of Fellowship. 29 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 1: It's being organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 30 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: On October fifth, you can stand with Israel and the 31 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: victims proudly.

In translation, he was literally blaming 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk for his own assassination. He wasn't done there, 62 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: by the way. He then accused the Right of covering 63 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: it up to quote score political points. All of these 64 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: statements are false. All of them are malicious lies told 65 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: at the expense of one of the most horrific acts 66 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: of the left wing political violence in modern political American history. 67 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: So would you defend this well, ABC, many would believe 68 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: had no choice but to bench or fire Kimmel for 69 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: what he had to say in his monologue. And let's 70 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 1: also be clear, this was pre planned, it was well written, 71 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: it was organized, It wasn't off the coff This is 72 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: part of the show that night, and here it is get. 73 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 3: Some new lows over the weekend with the Magga Gang 74 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 3: desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk 75 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: as anything other than one of them, and do everything 76 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: they can to score political points from and in between 77 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: the finger pointing, there was grieving. On Friday, the White 78 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: House flew the flags at half staff, which got some criticism, 79 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 3: but on a human level, you can see how hard 80 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: the President is taking this back adults on a lot of. 81 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 4: Your friend Charlie Kirk asked sir personally, how are you 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: holding up over the last day and a half served. 83 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 5: I think very good. 84 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 6: And by the way, right there, you see all the trucks. 85 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 6: They just started construction of the new ball room for 86 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 6: the White House. 87 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 5: Which is something they've been trying to get, as. 88 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 6: You know, for about one hundred and fifty years, and 89 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 6: it's going to be a beauty. 90 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: He's at the fourth stage of grief construction, demolition. 91 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 5: Construction. 92 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: This is not how an adult grief's the murder of 93 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 3: somebody called a friend. This is how a four year 94 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 3: old mourns a goldfish. 95 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: Okay, you listen to what he had to say there. 96 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: He also mocked not only the murder, but what was 97 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: behind it. Now, this is normal for Jimmy Kimmel. And 98 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 1: you may say, Ben, that's not true. Show me evidence. 99 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: How can you say that this is normal? All right, 100 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 1: let me just remind you a couple months ago. You 101 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: remember when Jimmy Kimmel's audience actually cheered when Tesla's stock 102 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: was down, and he smugly called for more Tesla attacks 103 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: as there were anarchists out there attacking Tesla's setting them 104 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: on fire, setting dealerships on fire. This was Jimmy Kimmel 105 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: when he hates did Elon Musk because he was working 106 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: with the president. 107 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,359 Speaker 3: Our co president. Elon Musk sent a SpaceX vehicle to 108 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 3: bring the astronauts back, and when they landed, he fired 109 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:14,239 Speaker 3: them immediately upon landing. Tesla stock is way down, almost 110 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: disastrously sold people. 111 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 5: People haven't. 112 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: Vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles. Please don't vandalize. Don't 113 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: ever vandalize Tesla vehicles. 114 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 5: And so. 115 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: You know when I listened to that, it is consistent 116 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 1: with what he's been doing for years. Year after year, 117 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel comes on TV and trashes half of America. Now, 118 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: let's talk about the business side of this so that 119 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: you understand why ABC really may. 120 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: Have made this move. 121 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: It could be because they were looking for a way out. 122 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: It is reported by the Way that Jimmy Kimmel's salary 123 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: is massive sixteen million dollars a year. According to Forbes, 124 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: Kimmel is ranked as the twenty third most highest paid 125 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: TV host in twenty twenty five, and again, sixteen million 126 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: is an awful lot of money. The Economic Times reporting 127 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: right now, Jimmy Kimmel loses his annual salary of sixteen 128 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: million after ABC sacks him over to Charlie Kirk controversy. 129 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: Check his net worth. He's gonna be by the way 130 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: just fine. And there's also word that he's gonna keep 131 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: hosting other shows like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, 132 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: which will make him even more money as well. But 133 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel is a guy that's not as popular as 134 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: he used to be, and part of that is because 135 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: of the hatred and the bigotry towards conservatives on his show. 136 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: Each and every night, he brings on people to mock conservatives, 137 00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: to ridicule conservatives, to trash conservatives, to advocate for vioue 138 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: against things like Tesla dealerships because of Elon Musk, and 139 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 1: mocking Donald Trump every chance he gets. So is it 140 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: harder now for ABC to make money off of Jimmy 141 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: Kimmel that it's ever been. Yeah, And maybe this was 142 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: their way of saying, we get a get out of 143 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: jail free card from a long term contract. Let's not forget. 144 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: They just announced the announcement that they were getting rid 145 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 1: of Stephen Colbert. And it wasn't because he said something 146 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: about Charlie Kirk. It was because of the financial aspect 147 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: of the show. By the way, Stephen Colbert didn't say, hey, 148 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: drop my salary or I won't take a salary or 149 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: take care of the people around me, and stead he 150 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: complained that this was somehow cancel culture. Well, no, it 151 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: was about dollars and cents, which brings me to this 152 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: idea that this is somehow cancel culture, and that free 153 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: speech is being silenced, and that we should all be 154 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: terrified or concerned. The left is losing their mind over this. 155 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: They can't believe that someone that alienated at least half 156 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: of America every single night, mocking them, ridiculing them, and 157 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: chastising them could then all of a sudden get themselves 158 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: in a bad spot with ratings when the audience has 159 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: been diluted. We've all seen this among broadcast TV. We've 160 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: also seen it among radio. That phone that many people 161 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: have in their hand right now has changed the way 162 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: that people spend their time. No longer do people sit 163 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: in front of the TV and say, hey, who does 164 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: Leno have on tonight? Or who does Letterman have on tonight? 165 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: Many people don't even know which network Kimmel's on or 166 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: Colbert or whoever the other person is on the other network. 167 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: You get my point. This is the reality of late 168 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: night television. It is not what it used to be. 169 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: Nowhere close in fact, it isn't even the redhead stepchild of. 170 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: What it used to be. So you take a look 171 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: at this, and this may have been. 172 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: A chance for ABC News to actually fix a problem 173 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: that they had financially and do it under the cover 174 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: of well, you said some really mean things about Charlie. 175 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: But what is the media doing with it. Well, they're 176 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: going to the completely opposite direction. They're now claiming that this 177 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: is Donald Trump, a dictator and a tyrant doing cancel culture. 178 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: By the way, Donald Trump did not cancel Jimmy Kimmel. 179 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: The liberals at ABC and Disney are the ones that 180 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: did it. I want you to listen to what was 181 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: said on CNN tonight. Brian Skelter, a guy that was 182 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: fired and now brought back to CNN, had this to 183 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: say on Aaron Burnett's show Listen carefully. 184 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 7: Truly dropped, as I think a shock to anybody who 185 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 7: heard it, even if they knew the Brendan Carr, the 186 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 7: pro Trump chief of the FCC, had made the comments 187 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 7: he made on that podcast. I don't think there's anybody 188 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 7: who literally thought within hours Jimmy Kimmel would be gone. 189 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 8: Right, absolutely right. In fact, this was very sudden this afternoon, 190 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 8: after car spoke out on that far right podcast. Then 191 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 8: some stations that are owned by other companies but affiliated 192 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 8: with ABC started to complain to ABC. We know one 193 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 8: of them, Next Star, which has about two dozen stations 194 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 8: with the ABC logo and all the ABC programming. Nextstar, 195 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 8: publicly announced that they were going to drop Kimmel's show indefinitely. 196 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 8: Within a matter of minutes, we heard from Disney that 197 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 8: the show was being pulled all together. That suggests to 198 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 8: me that other station owners were probably also getting scared. 199 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 8: Other station owners were probably also coming up with backup 200 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 8: plans not to air Kimmel's show. But even though we're 201 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 8: talking about comedy, this is so serious, Aaron, America is 202 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 8: a less free place if late night comedians cannot do 203 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 8: and say what they want. 204 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: Let's just stop there and go to that last statement. 205 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: America is a less free place if late night comedians 206 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: cannot do and say what they want. You can say 207 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: what you want. There are consequences, However, when you lie. 208 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: He lied about the assassin. He blamed Charlie Kirk for 209 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: his own death. He lied and said it was some 210 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: sort of magic conservative when we all know this was 211 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: a radical lefty that was angry about what was being 212 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: said by Charlie Kirk about his transgendered lover. This was 213 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: someone that said he couldn't handle Charlie Kirk's words. You 214 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: want to talk about free place, Charlie Kirk wasn't free 215 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: to say what he wanted to say. By the way, 216 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: CNN won't say that. What they will say is Jimmy Kimmel, 217 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: who is one of their mouth pieces for the hate 218 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: of the left and the lies that are put out 219 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: by the left is now gone and they're upset about it. 220 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: So what they said is, well, oh my gosh, this 221 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: is we are less safe tonight. Free speech is left. 222 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: Say no, it's not. You can say whatever you want 223 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: to say when you're on radio and TV. 224 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: It may cost to your job if you lie. 225 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: And then he went on to say this claiming that 226 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: this is somehow something that should go to the viewers, 227 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: by the way, and saying, well, if you don't like 228 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel, we should keep paying him sixty million dollars 229 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: a year. And you can just turn the channel, right, 230 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: that's liberal logic. 231 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 8: Of course, they can be tuned out. People can change 232 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 8: the channel. 233 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: People can change the channel a lot of people did. 234 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: By the way, you think ABC News canceled this guy 235 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: because he has massive ratings. No, they canceled this guy 236 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: because the alien and half the country. And then he 237 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: blamed a man who was gunned down in the prime 238 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: of his life for his own death. The other thing 239 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: about free speech that's just a total lie about the 240 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel cancelation is the fact that like he can't 241 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: talk anymore, Jimmy Kimmel is still free to speak the 242 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: bigotry and the lies and the hatred towards conservatives, and 243 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: the lies about the assassination of Charlie Kirk. He can 244 00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 1: still rant all he wants to. He can do it 245 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: on social media accounts. But ABC doesn't have to pay 246 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: him to do that. They don't owe him a paycheck 247 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: to lie on national TV. And this was a TRIFECTA 248 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: number one viewers had had enough and there had been 249 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: a real decline in his ratings. Affiliates had had enough, 250 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: and he had lost major affiliates. This was a business 251 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: decision that was made, by the way. I believe that 252 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: if there was any way to keep going with Jimmy 253 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: Kimmel financially after they were losing These stations that were 254 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: saying we've had enough, they would have done it, but 255 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: they clearly saw that this was the end of the road. 256 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: The same way, without a controversy, another late night host 257 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: had alienated more than half of Americans by mocking them 258 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: and ridiculing them every day. And when you do that, 259 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: you have a smaller audience to grab from, and when 260 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: that audience deluded because they're watching so many other options 261 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: on demand and viewing habits of change, you end up 262 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: at a point where it's just not economically feasible to 263 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 1: keep Stephen Colbert on the air. That's why they made 264 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: the decision at that network. So this was probably a 265 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 1: moment where ABC News is like, thank you, thank you 266 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: for being this stupid, thank you for saying something that 267 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: we can't even defend. 268 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 2: Thank you for saying something that we all know is 269 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: a lie. And now we have. 270 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: The opportunity to get rid of you, and we get 271 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: to save a bunch of money. 272 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: I think that's as simple as this really is. 273 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: And all the media that is coming out there and 274 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: losing their minds David Axerot on CNN as well, saying, 275 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: you know, this is what happens when you get a 276 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: radical like Donald Trump in the White House. And this 277 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: is what happens when Donald Trump is designating leftist groups. 278 00:15:58,640 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 2: As terrorist organizations. 279 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a moment, but listen to 280 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: what he had to say about this is again, this 281 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: is a political enemies list. Jimmy Kimmel and now any 282 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: of these other terrorist groups, and there our groups and 283 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: he claims are terrorists. 284 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,920 Speaker 9: I think you had We owe it to the president, 285 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 9: we owe it to the people around him to. 286 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 5: Take him seriously. 287 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 9: He's been saying not just before but before since the 288 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 9: Kirk assassination, but before it, that he was going to 289 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 9: go after, say George Soros, because he said he was 290 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 9: funding agitators. And this thing tonight, this post should not 291 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 9: be dismissed because what it means is he will define, 292 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 9: just as they will define the public interest, they will 293 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 9: define what is Antifa, and they will go after everyone 294 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 9: and everything that they put under that umbrella. Even though 295 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 9: it isn't an organization, it is a it is a 296 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 9: in many ways mythology, but it gives them, you know, 297 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 9: a pretext to go after their political enemies. And you know, 298 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 9: Ram said, Karas said, well, you know, voters have a say. 299 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 9: They do have a say, but this is going to 300 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 9: be a major effort to try and defund any opposition 301 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 9: in this country by doing it under this rubric of 302 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 9: Antifa and the radical left. I think this is an 303 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 9: inflection moment, So it's quite concerning. 304 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 2: By the way. 305 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: It is an inflection moment, but not for the reasons 306 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: you just heard there from David Axod. I'm going to 307 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: deal with Antifa in a second, but let me just 308 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: go back to one of the things about Jimmy Kimmel 309 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: to put it in perspective. It is a fact that 310 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel lied about Charlie kirk'ssassination. It's a fact that 311 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: he blamed him for his own murder, and it's a 312 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: fact he mocked him on air. There was a line 313 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: that was crossed, and then you had the FCC that 314 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: is no longer run by solely leftist radicals, that started 315 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 1: to ask questions. Then you had next Our say we're 316 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: not carrying the show. Then you had Sinclair that was 317 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: saying we're pulling him from millions of homes. Jimmy destroyed 318 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 1: his own career. Now I don't know if he'll ever recover. 319 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: Some say he'll never recover from this. I never say never, 320 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: because I know how much the left needs propagandists and 321 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: hateful people like Jimmy Kimmel. 322 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 2: On the air. 323 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: But this is not and listen to me when I 324 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:25,920 Speaker 1: say this, This is not cancel culture. This is consequence culture. 325 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: And these are the consequences for being able to say 326 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:34,719 Speaker 1: and do just vile things for so many years, and 327 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 1: it's finally caught up to them because the audience isn't 328 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: there anymore to justify this level of bigotry. And when 329 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: you don't have an audience, what do you not have 330 00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: money coming in from major ad buys. You go back 331 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,959 Speaker 1: to Brian's skelterer, who was playing a moment ago, and 332 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: you listen to what Brian had to say. He is 333 00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: freaking out, sky is falling, chicken le saying this is 334 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: a chilling decision. If you understand the business of it, 335 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: it's not a chilling decision at all. Laura Ingram, by 336 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: the way, talking about this on her show, she had 337 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: a very interesting take as she said this. 338 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 10: But Byron, I want to get to the big news tonight, 339 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 10: which is that ABC is pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air. 340 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 10: After he made this remark about Charlie. 341 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 3: The Maggie Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who 342 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 3: murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, 343 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: and do everything they can to score political points from it. 344 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 11: Byron Well, ABC is a network that broadcast on television 345 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 11: stations that are mostly owned by other companies, and apparently 346 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 11: one of the biggest station owners in the country said 347 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 11: they were not going to air the Kimmel Show anymore 348 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 11: after this. You know, I think with him, as it 349 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 11: was with Stephen Colbert earlier, this was really a cumulative thing, 350 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 11: and I think that Jimmy Kimmel didn't seem to understand 351 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 11: that it's not twenty seventeen anymore. If you think back 352 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 11: to the terrible days of twenty seventeen, when the entire 353 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 11: media was saying Russia, Russia, Russia, twenty four seven, it 354 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 11: dominated everything. This is a different atmosphere today. Of course 355 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 11: Trump is still controversial, of course there is still a resistance, 356 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 11: but this is a serious presidency. They are failing to 357 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 11: grapple with that, and now they're also obviously failing to 358 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 11: grapple with the ugly violence that has arisen here. With 359 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 11: two assassination attempts on Trump and now the killing of 360 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 11: Charlie Kirk. 361 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 10: Your reaction to this news. Mark will be learning more 362 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 10: about it, but what we know so. 363 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 12: Far, well, it's incredible that the Walt Disney Company, which 364 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 12: for many, many years has allowed The View and Jimmy 365 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 12: Kimmel to take up two hours of real estate to 366 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 12: appeal to the big stations in New York and Los 367 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 12: Angeles and Chicago where the audiences are more liberal, and 368 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 12: now at least one station group and I believe it's 369 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 12: at least two where their stations are in more rural 370 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 12: areas and not in the big coastal cities and said no, 371 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 12: a comment like that in the current environment, less than 372 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 12: a week after Charlie Kirk was assassinated is not acceptable. 373 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,719 Speaker 12: And the fact that ABC did that under some pressure 374 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 12: from the FCC, but more under pressure from station owners 375 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 12: is a watershed again in the history of a company 376 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 12: that put pumped out the View anti Trump for a decade, 377 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 12: Jimmy Kimmel anti Trump for a decade. No equal time 378 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 12: for MAGA, no equal time for conservative voices. This was 379 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 12: a bridge too far under the circumstances, and it's of 380 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 12: a piece with what we're seeing, which is some government coercion, 381 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 12: but also just the market is speaking. Conservatives watch TV 382 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 12: two and they found that unacceptable. 383 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 10: Environ to those who say, oh, this is cancel culture. 384 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 10: Now you're embracing cancel culture. I hit this last night, 385 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 10: but I want to give you the chance to hit 386 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 10: that ridiculously stupid retort. What we're talking about, Well, well, I. 387 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 11: Think Marcus is right in the sense that the market 388 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 11: is speaking in this case, and obviously making a joke, 389 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 11: any joke about this assassination at this time just seems 390 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 11: to be incredibly reckless, and making one based on a 391 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 11: libelous falsehood is even worse. So he obviously did not 392 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 11: get the comedian here, did not get the feelings of 393 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 11: the mass of his audience. He was so used to 394 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 11: resistance narrow casting, which is what the late night shows 395 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 11: had become, that he lost track. 396 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 10: Of that they ceased to be funny because they cease 397 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 10: to connect with the American people. It should go back 398 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 10: and watch Carson and then maybe find their senses of humor. 399 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,120 Speaker 1: Mark I couldn't agree, by the way more with Laura there. 400 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: And this is how hatred is. Finally the American people 401 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: have had enough. They're not watching this crap anymore. They're 402 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: not gonna sit there and have their lives and their 403 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:10,679 Speaker 1: values be mocked. And you expect me to watch the show? 404 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: And so did he cross the line? 405 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: Yes? Is this cancel culture? 406 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 13: No? 407 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 2: And anyone that tells you that is they're lying to you. 408 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: This is accountability for saying something egregious on the air 409 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: that should not have been said. And by the way, 410 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel can say it right now and no one 411 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: will stop him. It doesn't mean that ABC has to 412 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: pay him to say it. I want to talk to 413 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: you about my friends at kirk Elliott Precious Metals. Two 414 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: days ago, I got my new order of silver. Now 415 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 1: I'm investing in silver right now because the pricing on 416 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 1: it is amazing and the upside well, it's real. I 417 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar. It is 418 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's one hundred ounces. 419 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 1: But I also know that I bought it at the 420 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: right price and I wasn't paying massive up charges on quote. 421 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: Rare are special coins and then when you go to 422 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: sell them, you take away all of your earning potential. 423 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 2: Why do they do it? 424 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: This way at Kurt Elliott because they have transparent pricing 425 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: up front. 426 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: It's very simple. 427 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 1: You pay eight percent when you buy, and here's what 428 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: matters to you the most, nothing when you sell. There 429 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: are no hidden fees ever with Kurt Elliott Precious Metals. 430 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: This is the reason why I recommend them.

You can also call them seven two zero 446 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: six oh five thirty nine hundred. 447 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 2: That's seven two zero six oh five thirty nine hundred. 448 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: So let's faithfully steward what God has given so you 449 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: can experience real peace now and for generations to come. 450 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 2: K e pm dot com slash ben. 451 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump has declared that he is designating the 452 00:25:55,960 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: Antifa movement as a major terrorist organization. He also stated 453 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: he will recommend that people or organizations funding Antifa be 454 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 1: strongly investigated under the highest legal standards in practices now. 455 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: This announcement came in the wake of the assassination of 456 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which Trump and his allies say 457 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: underscores the need to address what they characterize as left 458 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: wing extremism. Now Antifa, you may ask what is it now, 459 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: They say it's anti fascists. It's not a single group 460 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: or with a hierarchy structure. In fact, it's a loosely 461 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: affiliated ideology where people all the time are saying I'm 462 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: a member of Antifa and then carrying out many times 463 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: criminal activities. Now, because of the decentralization of it, there's 464 00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: no clear chain of command, which means you have to 465 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: actually follow the money. Because without formal membership lists or 466 00:26:57,160 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: centralized leadership. You've got to find out who is funding 467 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: Antifa and who on the left is writing the checks 468 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: for so many of the things that they actually do. Now, 469 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: there are several significant legal obstacles to make this kind 470 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: of designation meaningful and also enforceable, and that's exactly what 471 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: the President is doing right now. In fact, if you 472 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 1: want to know when this really became a reality, you 473 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: can go to the White House in the Oval Office 474 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,920 Speaker 1: just two days ago, when the President was asked this 475 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: question about Antifa and what it would mean to designate 476 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: them a terrorist organization from a member of the press. 477 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 1: Take a listen, yes, given PAULI, what's going on with 478 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: Charlotte Kirk's assassination and is. 479 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 5: The left wing of our left wing finance going on? 480 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,719 Speaker 5: Do you have plans and actually this is a great. 481 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 4: Opportunity with all of these other do you plan on 482 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 4: designating finally a domestic terrible organization? 483 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,239 Speaker 5: Well, it's sus some thing I would do. Yeah, if 484 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 5: I have support from the people back here, I think 485 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 5: would start with Pam, I think, but I would if 486 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 5: you give me, I would do that one hundred percent. 487 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 5: And others also by the way, but Antifa is terrible. 488 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 5: There are other groups, Yeah, there are other groups. We 489 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 5: have some pretty radical groups and they got away with murder. 490 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 5: And also I've been speaking to the Attorney General about 491 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,639 Speaker 5: bringing RICO against some of the people that you've been 492 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 5: reading about that have been putting up millions and millions 493 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 5: of dollars for agitation. This is These aren't protests. These 494 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 5: are crimes. What they're doing where they're throwing bricks at 495 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 5: cars of the of Ice and Border Patrol and they 496 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 5: come in a beautiful new car. They're so proud it's 497 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,959 Speaker 5: Border Patrol Ice. You know, it's got whatever it is, 498 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 5: and they're throwing rocks at it. And after fifty yards 499 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 5: it looks like an old beat up vehicle. It was 500 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 5: just brand new. It's just bought for the purposes. And 501 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 5: they don't have to take that anymore. I let it 502 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 5: be known, well take responsibility. They don't have to take 503 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 5: it anymore, and they don't want to take it. They 504 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 5: were told by a past administration. It became almost a culture. 505 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 5: If somebody throws a rock at you, do nothing. If 506 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 5: somebody spits in your face, do nothing. And I say, 507 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 5: when they spit you hit do whatever. You want, you 508 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 5: do whatever the hell you want. I watch it. I 509 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 5: watched it so sick it made me for four years. 510 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 5: I had to said, oh, and watch people screaming at 511 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,120 Speaker 5: policemen and spitting in their face and they weren't able 512 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 5: to do anything. They just had to grin and beard. 513 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 5: They're standing up like a piece of steel. And a woman. 514 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 5: In many cases women, you can see their professional agitators. 515 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 5: I had one the other night. I had four the 516 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 5: other night, all in one group, total phonies. I started 517 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,280 Speaker 5: to scream when I got into a restaurant, Oh, you 518 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 5: know something with Palestine. I said, well, I'm doing a 519 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 5: great job for peace in the Middle East. I should 520 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 5: get lots of awards for that, with the Abraham Accords 521 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 5: and everything else. But a woman just stood up and 522 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 5: said screaming, and she got booed out of the place. 523 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 5: To the people, there are a lot of people in 524 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 5: the restaurant. I went there to show how safe, and 525 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 5: it was safe. I mean a woman, it's just a mouthpiece. Well, 526 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 5: she was a paid shoes, a paid agitator, and you 527 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 5: have a lot of them. And I've asked Pam to 528 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 5: look into that. In terms of Rico bringing Rico cases 529 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 5: against the criminal rico because they should be put in jail. 530 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 5: What they're doing to this country is really a subversive. 531 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 2: That is where all of this really got started. 532 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,479 Speaker 1: Now Here is the best part about what this means 533 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: moving forward. The consequences of this action on Antifa are huge. 534 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 2: This will now allow the US government. 535 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 1: To increase investigations into individuals or entities that are believed 536 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: to provide support to Antifa aka money and logistics supplies. 537 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 1: Trump specifically asked for these types of investigations. It also 538 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 1: outs for potentially executive orders, regulations, policy changes aimed at 539 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 1: curbing political violence or hate speech associated with Antifa. And 540 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 1: then there's the possible legal or administrative sanctions for those 541 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 1: found to be a material support of Antifa if state 542 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: or federal laws can be invoked. This is where there 543 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: is real consequences for people that are involved with this 544 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: radical organization, and you need to find out who is 545 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: exactly funding them. Follow the money is everything here. Now 546 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: we can also expect legal challenges groups like the ACLU 547 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: and the SPLC. They're going to argue that the designation 548 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: violates constitutional protection, free assembly, free speech, due process, and 549 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: then the courts are going to have to interpret what 550 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: designating a terrorist organization means in this context. I think 551 00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: this is clearly a fight the White House is more 552 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: than happy to have. And then there's the political polarization 553 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: of this. Democrats are already coming out and saying that 554 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: this is a threat to free speech. So let's go 555 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: back to the President and what he actually had to 556 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,840 Speaker 1: say after designating Antifa a terrorist organization. Here's how CNN 557 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:19,080 Speaker 1: put it as they had to read the president's words. 558 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 14: Now, i don't know if you know this, but I've 559 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 14: just seen that the President on a social media on 560 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 14: a social media's announced I'm pleased to inform our many 561 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 14: USA patriots that I'm designating Antifa, a sick, dangerous radical 562 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 14: left organization, as a major terrorist organization. I'll also be 563 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 14: strongly recommending that those funding Antifa be thoroughly investigated in 564 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 14: accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. 565 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:49,120 Speaker 1: They can't stand the fact that radical organizations that are 566 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 1: out there being funded by dark money from democratic donors, 567 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: they are then committing crimes and terrorizing the public, are 568 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: no longer going to be able to operate the way 569 00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,320 Speaker 1: they were under the Biden administration. And by the way, 570 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: this is exactly why I voted for Donald Trump, and 571 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: I think so many of you did as well. All Right, 572 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: I want to move to something else. Also, that's really 573 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: important in something that Donald Trump has been asking for 574 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: and talking about a lot lately. Donald Trump has repeatedly 575 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: urged the FED to cut interest rates more aggressively. For example, 576 00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,640 Speaker 1: in June of this year, he called for a full 577 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 1: percentage point drop. Also, he said the rates are at 578 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: least three percentage points too high. Now, Trump had criticized 579 00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: the Fed, especially the chair Jerome Powell, for not cutting 580 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: sooner or more deeply. He made it very clear he 581 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,040 Speaker 1: believed that the cuts need to come and it was 582 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 1: holding the economy back. He even talked about the idea 583 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: that it was time to get rid of Jerome Powell, 584 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,760 Speaker 1: that he should resign. Well, Jerome is still there. But 585 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: the good news is finally the Feds have cut interest 586 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,480 Speaker 1: rates by a quarter percentage point. And here's how the 587 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 1: news hit on CNN tell. 588 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:03,040 Speaker 10: Us about this decision. 589 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 13: Matt, Yeah, Brianna, the Fed just delivered an interest rate cut, 590 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 13: and it is the quarter point cut that was widely expected. 591 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 13: Now this is a big deal because it is the 592 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 13: first interest rate cut of the second Trump administration, and 593 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,839 Speaker 13: it's sending a clear message that Federal Reserve officials are 594 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,439 Speaker 13: more worried about the slumping job market than they are 595 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 13: about stubborn inflation. They're acting now to try to shore 596 00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,320 Speaker 13: up the job market before this trouble turns into something worse, 597 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 13: and they're signally this concern in their new statement that 598 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 13: they just put out by inserting some new language that 599 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,320 Speaker 13: I'll read to you now. FED officials say that job 600 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 13: gains have slowed and the unemployment rate has edged up 601 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 13: but remains low. Fed officials also say that they have 602 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 13: judged that downside risks to employment have risen now. At 603 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 13: the same time, this statement also says that inflation has 604 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,360 Speaker 13: moved up up and remains somewhat elevated, which just gets 605 00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 13: at this really difficult situation facing the FED where they're 606 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 13: really trying to fight a two front war, right, They're 607 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 13: trying to fix the job market, and they're trying to 608 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 13: defeat inflation at the same time. It is really difficult. 609 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 5: Now. 610 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 13: As far as the voting here, this was actually almost unanimous. 611 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,720 Speaker 13: It was an eleven to one vote, with Fedschair Jerome 612 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,080 Speaker 13: Powell joined by ten of his colleagues, including FED Governor 613 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 13: Lisa Cook, who the President has tried to fire. The 614 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,040 Speaker 13: one the center is the Federal Reserve's newest member. That's 615 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,959 Speaker 13: Stephen Myron, the Trump loyalist and White House economists. Not surprisingly, 616 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 13: he was in favor of a bigger cut of half 617 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 13: of a percentage point. Now, looking forward, the key change 618 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 13: with the Fed's projections is they're now penciling in a 619 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 13: total of three interest rate cuts this year. Today's and 620 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,520 Speaker 13: two more quarter point cuts. Now that's a shift from June, 621 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 13: when Fed officials had previously just pencil in two interest 622 00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,080 Speaker 13: rate cuts. Now, what does all this mean to everyone 623 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 13: at home? Well, the fact that rates. 624 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 5: Have come down. 625 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 13: That could be helpful for people who have credit card 626 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 13: debt and people of floating rate debt like home equity 627 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 13: lines of credit. But we should be clear, this is 628 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 13: not a silver bullet that's going to fix the economy. 629 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 5: Interest rates do remain high. 630 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 13: The Fed spiked interest rates three years ago to try 631 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 13: to fight inflation. That amounts it to slamming the brakes 632 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:27,839 Speaker 13: on the economy. 633 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:29,000 Speaker 2: Now they're not. 634 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 13: Going pedal to the metal and hitting the gas. They're 635 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 13: sort of gradually taking their foot off the break now 636 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,560 Speaker 13: later this hour, fed shir Drum Powell, he's gonna take questions. 637 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,919 Speaker 13: I'm interested to hear what he's going to say about 638 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 13: all of the pressure, the political pressure from the White 639 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 13: House on federals of officials, and how many more interest 640 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,720 Speaker 13: rates he expects to have in the coming months. 641 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 1: Beck Toy Brian, I love how they're like, well, this 642 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: could be good for Americans. 643 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 2: This is going to be massive, by the way, for Americans. 644 00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 1: And this is exactly what the President has been advocate 645 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,400 Speaker 1: heading for, saying that we need to move this in 646 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,439 Speaker 1: the right direction. We also know from what was said 647 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: by Powell that you can expect that there is a 648 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 1: very good chance that more cuts could be coming on 649 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,080 Speaker 1: the regular. So is this a victory for all Americans? 650 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:16,680 Speaker 2: Yes? 651 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,480 Speaker 1: Is this the big victory for the fact that Jerome 652 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: Powell said it the way that he described it, Yes, 653 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: is it something that we should all celebrate. 654 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,720 Speaker 2: You better believe it. Jerome Powell in his own words. 655 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 14: Under what circumstances would a larger than twenty five basis 656 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 14: points rate cup be warranted? 657 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,520 Speaker 4: And how seriously was that option entertained at your meeting 658 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 4: this week? There wasn't widespread support at all for a 659 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 4: fifty basis point cut today. You know, I think we've 660 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 4: done We've done very large rate hikes and very large 661 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 4: rate cuts in the last five years. And you tend 662 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 4: to do those at a time when you feel that 663 00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,080 Speaker 4: policy is out of place and needs to move quickly 664 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,560 Speaker 4: to a new place. That's not at all what I 665 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 4: feel certainly now.
