1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: All right, let's start with the issue that the media 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,799 Speaker 1: has decided to go all in on, and they're claiming 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 1: that this is what dictators and tyrants do. They're claiming 4 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has gotten late night comedians fired Stephen 5 00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:23,600 Speaker 1: Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, and they're saying, like, who's going 6 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: to be next, And this is what a dictator and 7 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: a tyrant does. That is a lie, and we're going 8 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: to talk about that lie. So you understand it. When 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert was his show was canceled, all right, And 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: it's a different way than being fired. It was a 11 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: canceling of the show for one reason. It was the 12 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: canceling of the show because it wasn't making money and 13 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: apparently it was losing listen carefully like forty million dollars 14 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: a year. That is a lot of money. There was 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: not pressure from the President the United States of America 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: for Stephen Colbert's show to be canceled. There have been 17 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: a lot in the media that are now rewriting history 18 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: as we speak, and they're saying that in fact, the 19 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: people that are in charge of the network have now 20 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: explicitly said that CBS was not threatened or pushed to 21 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 1: do what I just said, like that didn't happen. And 22 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: so if you look at the facts, it was a 23 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: money issue. The show costs way too much money to produce, 24 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: and the ratings weren't there. Now, when Stephen Colbert was 25 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: let go, I said this on CNN at the time, 26 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: and I made it very clear, and I said, what 27 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: you guys are not understanding is this is not canceling 28 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: of an individual because of what he said. In fact, 29 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: I believe that CBS would love to keep Colbert on 30 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: attacking conservatives as long as they could. In fact, they 31 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: did it to the point where they were upside down 32 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: losing money on this show and there was no way out. 33 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: And so they had made the decision. They said months 34 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: earlier now in interviews CBS executives, months earlier, they decided 35 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: not to move forward with the show, not to renew 36 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: the show. So when you look at this and you 37 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: look at Colbert, it's a lie to say that Stephen 38 00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: Colbert was canceled because of Donald Trump. In fact, let 39 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: me just let you hear from the ex Paramount chief 40 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: who is insisting that Colbert's cancelation had nothing to do 41 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: was seeking the Trump administration's approval for what is being 42 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: described as a mega merger. So this is again the 43 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: grand conspiracy theory of the left. Listen to her tell 44 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 1: the story in her own words. 45 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: Outside of the settlement, there are other actions taken to 46 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 2: ensure there would be regulatory approval. I think about rollbacks 47 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: of DEI policies. I think about some things like the 48 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: cancelation of Steve Colbert's show. You know that was never 49 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 2: explicitly stated as being part of getting regulatory approval, but 50 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: it's something that I think a lot of people assumed. 51 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,920 Speaker 2: Do you think that they made the right choices to 52 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 2: ensure that they got the regulatory approval. 53 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: I'm not going to tie any of that to regulatory approval. 54 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: I can tell you that we had been looking at 55 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 3: late night. It was financially not viable. It had been 56 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: that way for a long time. 57 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: We paused. Listen to what she just said. Her words 58 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: right there was that I can and you know what, screw, 59 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to back it up. I'm going to back 60 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: it up so that you can hear her words again. 61 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: It wasn't viable, she said, and it hadn't been viable 62 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: for a long time, meaning they let it go way 63 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: past the expiration date because they loved the propaganda of 64 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: their network attacking conservatives night. 65 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: It was financially not viable. It had been that way 66 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: for a long time. We had made a decision months 67 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: prior to the announcement that we were not going to 68 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 3: be going forward with that show. I love Stephen, he 69 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 3: does a great job, but we really needed to be 70 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: in a financially viable business and you saw we did 71 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 3: that with James Corden as well. And in terms of DEI, 72 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 3: I think the reasons why DEI exists matter and will 73 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: always matter, and we need to continue to fight for 74 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: those issues. But I think the way in which DEI 75 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 3: has been executed has often led to more problems than 76 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 3: it solved. So any of the changes that were made 77 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 3: or continue to be made, but under us, I think 78 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 3: we were trying to create an environment that would address 79 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 3: the issues in a different way. 80 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: So translation, this is all PCBs. I'm going to go 81 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: back and I'm going to play for you what I 82 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: said on Stephen on Stephen Colbert being canceled. Now, this 83 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,799 Speaker 1: was the night after Stephen Colbert was canceled. I said 84 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 1: this on Abby's show on CNN, And this goes to 85 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: the core of why his show was canceled because he 86 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 1: lost his audience. 87 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 4: They're going to get effected by some of this too, 88 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 4: I would say s Letterman A Leno did a much 89 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 4: better job of having on George Bush and then having 90 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 4: on Bill Clinton. 91 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: They actually did a better job. 92 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: It was a different time, but it doesn't. 93 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: My point is if you stop doing it, and there 94 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 1: are people like me that just we don't even care. 95 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: I don't even know when the show's on. That's how 96 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 1: irrelevant it is. Because once he hate Once it was 97 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: so clear how much sustain he had for conservatives, and 98 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't funnymore, you're gonna lose your show. 99 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 4: I mean, listen, I really yeah, I honestly I'm with 100 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 4: Cherrey on this one. I mean, I think you can. 101 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 4: I think it's a little speculative that Elizabeth Warren of 102 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 4: it all, but there's no question that the direction of 103 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: linear television is going in a certain place. So that 104 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 4: is the by far, probably one of the bigger factors. 105 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 4: Can I give you a quick on yeh. 106 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: But I just love there how they will not accept 107 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: the truth Colbert had made your disdain for conservatives and 108 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: it wasn't funny anymore, and he lost his audience, and 109 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: that's what led to the cancelation. The ex paramount chief 110 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: insisting Colbert's cancelation had nothing to do with seeking Trump approval. 111 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: It was about the show was unsustainable. So now you 112 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: fast forward to right now and they're all saying that, 113 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: you know, Stephen Colbert, and now you've got Jimmy Kimmel, 114 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: this is all about a dictator. All right, Let's look 115 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: at what Kimmel said. Kimmel said, quote, we hit some 116 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: new lows over the weekend with a maga gang desperately 117 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as 118 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: anything other than one of them. Okay, that's a lie. 119 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: We know he wasn't a conservative. We know he's a liberal. 120 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: We know he hated Charlie Kirk. We know that he 121 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: wanted to take out Charlie Kirk because Charlie Kirk was 122 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: saying mean things he believed about his lover and he 123 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: couldn't take the hate anymore, and so he said I'm 124 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: going to kill him. That's his own words and his 125 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: own text messages. So he's lying to you, and he 126 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: knows that he's lying to you. When he says this, 127 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: he's trying to say, this is somehow maga kid. Everybody knows, 128 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: the reason why I killed Charlie kirkis because he hated 129 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: the maga kid. He hated him, He hated him. Back 130 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: to the exact quote, Charlie Kirk is anything other than 131 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: than one of them, and doing everything they can to 132 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: score political points from it. That's also not just a lie, 133 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,119 Speaker 1: it's sick. And by the way, look at the time frame. 134 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: By the time Kimmel did this monologue, it was already 135 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: extremely clear from the governor, local law enforcement, and our 136 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: federal government law enforcement that Charlie Kirk accused assassin and 137 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: by the way, in his own words, was a leftist 138 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: in a relationship with a furry transsexual. That's not a 139 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: maga kid, okay. And knowing this, Kimmel still told tens 140 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: of thousands of people who still watched the show that 141 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: the alleged sassion was in fact magas. So it's his fault, 142 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's fault, It's conservative's fault that Charlie Kirk was killed, 143 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: which doesn't make any sense logically, but hey, who cares 144 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: about facts, right, Let's not even care about facts at all? 145 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 1: The second reason why he was fired is because already 146 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: the show was losing money. And so you had two 147 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: of the country's biggest affiliates. And again, this is not 148 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: cancel culture. This is this is Nextstar in Sinclair Media 149 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: who had had enough. Both of those networks that are 150 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: affiliates told Disney and ABC that they were done during 151 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: airing a late night show that is attacking literally their audience, 152 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: and it's a show that is only pleasing to LA 153 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: and New York viewers and maybe Boston and some other 154 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: places like that. But in normal America, no one is 155 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: watching Jimmy Kimmel anymore for the reasons that I just stated. 156 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: And he had lost his audience in the core demographic 157 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: that you need. With an audience, okay, in a core 158 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: demographic that you need, it is a the younger generation, 159 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: and that's how you buy ads. He was down to 160 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 1: like one hundred and twenty something thousand. He was over 161 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: a million a decade ago. This was a massive drop 162 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: in audience size. And so when you have Nextstar in 163 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: Saint Clair, who are about to make him even smaller, 164 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: both of them telling were done with the show because 165 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: we're done with him attacking Americans never forget if this 166 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: was really about cancel culture. Is that is the left 167 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: trying to claim that this is like a dictator and tyrant, 168 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: like getting people fired in media. Jimmy Kimmel would have 169 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 1: been fired, okay when he said that people that went 170 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: to a hospital and if it's overcrowded, they hadn't gotten 171 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine deserved to die and not get care. 172 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: He did not get canceled, and he said that why 173 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 1: because I believe ABC and Disney love this guy. They 174 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: held on to him while he was losing money for 175 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: a very long time. Yes, they were then finally at 176 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: the point where they were looking for an out Stephen 177 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: Colbert was not fired for censorship. It was because the 178 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: show sucked. He wasn't funny anymore. He hated half American 179 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: alien of them, and there wasn't enough audience left to 180 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,959 Speaker 1: cover that. That is a very risky bet now, per 181 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: the Hollywood Reporter, Disney asked Kimmel to address the lie 182 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 1: he told in a way that quote would take down 183 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: the temperature what he planned to do, by the way 184 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: we were being told on Wednesday night. Instead, the report says, 185 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: was going to fan the flames with the Maga fan base. 186 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 1: Someone who worked on the show basically confirmed this while 187 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: claiming to deny it. No, no, The source said Jimmy 188 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: was not planning of making it worse, but he also 189 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: wasn't cow telling to Maga. Okay, so now we know 190 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: now by the time all this had happened, so you 191 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 1: understand the timeline, sixty six big affiliates of the roughly 192 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 1: two hundred affiliate stations had said they would not carry 193 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: the episode, and that's when ABC announced it was suspending 194 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: the program. And that's when the left and the crazy 195 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: media started to blame the FCC. When the Trump administration 196 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: had allowed ABC Disney to brazenly violate the public interest 197 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: clause in the broadcast for five years, four years in 198 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: the Trump's first term and nearly a year into Trump's 199 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 1: second term. That is how you could argue this right. 200 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: And the arrogant Jimmy Kimmel is the one who got 201 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: him suspended. And it wasn't for what he said the 202 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: other night. It was for alienating and attacking over half 203 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: the country every chance he could. And then when he 204 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: had his screw up, he refused to do the decent 205 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: and honorable thing, and that's when affiliate said, we're done, right, 206 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: we are done until Jimmy Kimmel agrees to retract his 207 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: lie and tell the truth. We're done now. I don't 208 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: know if Kima will ever apologize, because he's got a 209 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 1: money where he can just say, here's a middle finger. 210 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: I don't care, but I do think it's interesting how 211 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: the media is trying to protect him. All the other 212 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: late night hosts, by the way, they're a narcissists, trying 213 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: to make it about themselves too in this big kumbah 214 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: Yah United moments, And I'll read you some of that 215 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 1: in a moment so that you can hear what they're saying, 216 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: because it is pretty disgusting. But Jimmy Fallon, responding to 217 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: Hanimmel situation, said quote, I know Jimmy Kimmel and he's 218 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 1: a decent, funny and loving guy. That's not true. If 219 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: he was, he wouldn't have said that people deserve to 220 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: die if they didn't get the COVID vaccine. Like I'm 221 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: going to call bs there. And the way that they 222 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: did their monologue was like this me too type movement. Right, 223 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: we'll stand with you, We'll stand with you, And it's 224 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: pretty pathetic, but also I would say not surprising, because 225 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: this is what the Democratic Party has become. They have 226 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: become a group of radical extremists, and a small group 227 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: of them are just i would say, straight domestic terrorists, 228 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: and this is what they believe. All right, I want 229 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: to take a moment and I want to talk to 230 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: you real quick about what you can do to help 231 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: the people in Israel. It was nearly two years ago 232 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: that the terrorists murdered more than twelve hundred innocent Israelis 233 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 1: and they took two hundred and fifty hostages. Today it 234 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: seems as if the cries of the dead and dying 235 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: have been drowned out by the shouts of anti Semitism 236 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: and just pure hatred, not just in America but around 237 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: the world. And the most brutal attack on Jewish people happened. 238 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: It happened since the Holocausts, and now it's like they're 239 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: trying to act like it never happened. Now, this is 240 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: where it is important for us to stand with the 241 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: people in Israel. It's a movement of love and support 242 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: for the people of Israel, and this is where I 243 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: want you to get involved. It is called Flags of Fellowship. 244 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: It's being organized by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. 245 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: On October fifth, you can stand with Israel and the 246 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: victims proudly. Just a few weeks away, millions across America 247 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: will prayerfully plant an Israeli flag in honor and solidarity 248 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 1: with the victims of October the seventh, twenty twenty three, 249 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: and stand with their grieving families. You can be a 250 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 1: part of this movement as well. And that's what I 251 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: love about what IFCJ does. They're making sure that the 252 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: world knows there there are lots of people of faith 253 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: in this country and friends and advocates for Israel. They're 254 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: going to stand with them. You can get more information 255 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: about how you can join the Flags of Fellowship movement, 256 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: including your church. There are going to be countless churches 257 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: around the country they're going to plant flags as well. 258 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: So all you have to do to get involved with 259 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: Flags of Fellowship movement is go to if CJ dot org. 260 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: That's if CJ dot org stand with Israel on October 261 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: the fifth. It's just a few weeks away. And if 262 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: your church you think would want to be involved, you 263 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: can also find out more about how to get your 264 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: church to be involved on a special Sunday at IFCJ 265 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: dot org. That's if CJ dot org. I've also one 266 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: other point I want to make on this is I've 267 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: seen a lot of people saying that this is like 268 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: consequence culture, that's like some of new things, It's like 269 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: happen in the last twenty four hours. I don't believe 270 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: that that is what happened to Jimmy Kimmel. I believe 271 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: that it is actually as simple as they were losing 272 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: millions of dollars on a show that no one was watching, 273 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: and they saw an opportunity to get out. If he 274 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: was making the money, he would still be in the 275 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: ar right now, even after what he said about Charlie Kirk, 276 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: because he's been able to say things like that for 277 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: a very long time. A great example is just rewind 278 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: to when he said it COVID. If you hadn't gotten 279 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: the vaccine and show up at a crowded hospital, you 280 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: deserve not to get treatment, you deserve to die. And 281 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: he didn't get fired then, So this is not a consequence. 282 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't believe that ABC News here is doing the 283 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: right thing. This was a financial decision. I'm also not 284 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: in favor of limiting free speech, okay, but if you 285 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: cheer and mock a violent assassination of someone like Charlie Kirk, 286 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: should there be a consequence for that? If you're employed 287 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: by a private company like ABC and Disney, even as 288 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: woke in liberal and radical as they are, you would 289 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: hope there'd be a consequence. I do not believe ABC 290 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: News did this as a consequence for him. It was 291 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: a business decision. They had lost a bunch of affiliates 292 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: from two different affiliate groups, and they said, well, now 293 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 1: this is beyond unsustainable, so I will not give ABC 294 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: News credit. By the way, they still air The View. 295 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: Let's also be clear about that. Now, there's been a 296 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: lot that has been said in the last twenty four 297 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: to forty eight hours about the FCC and the fact 298 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 1: the SCC should be looking into these shows like The View. 299 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: I want to caution you on that, and I want 300 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: to make it very clear why I want to caution 301 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: you on that. Okay, I know that there are ebbs 302 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: and flows in politics. Jimmy Carter gave us Ronald Reagan, 303 00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: then he gave us then we got Bush, and then 304 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: we got Bill Clinton, and then we got Bush, then 305 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: we got Barack Obama and then we got Trump, and 306 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: then we got Joe Biden. Kamala Harris. I am a 307 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: history of the presidency and the history of politics, guy, 308 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: and I can promise you Democrats in my lifetime will 309 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: be back in power multiple times. And if we start 310 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: using the sec to go after our political opponents, who 311 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: by the way, are dying on their own on the 312 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: air because the audience is disappearing, because the American people 313 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: are starting to reject this woke, radical ideology of the left. 314 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: If we start advocating for people to get fired, then 315 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 1: when they're in power, they are going to come after 316 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: us tenfold. They already did it. By the way, the 317 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: last time they had conservatives like myself that were canceled 318 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: on social media, they had kick Donald Trump off of 319 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: social media platforms, all of them where he had to 320 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: make his own. We saw the government conspiring with private 321 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 1: sector to silence and censor into throttle conservatives. We do 322 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: not want to play that game. We do not want 323 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: to play that game. I'm actually don't think they should 324 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: have fired him a long time ago. I like knowing 325 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: that their radical leftists out there that are alienating a 326 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: lot of America and bringing them to the conservative side 327 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: of things. I actually like that there is Ilama Omars 328 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: out there and the aocs because I actually think that 329 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: people are just realizing how crazy the left has become 330 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: and how hateful they are. Jimmy Kimmel wasn't funny. He 331 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: was mean spirited man like. I think he did more 332 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 1: harm on TV than good for the Democrats that he 333 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: had on his show. I think it destroyed late night television. 334 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: And there's just a certain point of being like those people. 335 00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 1: I don't want to be associated with this. People are 336 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: sick and that's what he'd I think, become to represent. 337 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 1: So I actually liked him on the air. And look, yes, 338 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: he quote got fired. Okay, he got fired because of 339 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: what he said about about Charlie. No, he got fired 340 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: because his ratings sucked and they looked for an opportunity 341 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: to get rid of him, and this was the one 342 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: they could do it on. And I'll give you this 343 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: scenario on this so that people understand it. Several years ago, 344 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: Democrats pushed hard to get rid of conservative talk radio. 345 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: They said it was unfair that there were so many 346 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: conservatives on talk radio and there weren't enough liberals, and 347 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: they were talking about equal time like they wanted it. Basically, 348 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: if you had three hours of Limbaugh or Levin or Ferguson, 349 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 1: that you had to have three hours of counterprogramming of 350 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: a left a lefty. That's what they were. That was 351 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: their argument. They wanted to shut down conservative talk stations. 352 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: Now luckily it didn't happen. I believe now that's exactly 353 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: what they would do if they got power. If we 354 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: start abusing the power at the FCC to start silencing 355 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: people that we disagree with, there will be precedent and 356 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: there will be hell to pay, and you will watch 357 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,719 Speaker 1: the number of news talk stations disappear overnight, or they 358 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 1: will start mandating that you put on the liberals to 359 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: counter the conservative programming, and that also would kill conservative 360 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: talk radio. You don't weaponize the SEC. It is supposed 361 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: to be non partisan. It is supposed to be non political. 362 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: And that is the point that everybody needs to just 363 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: keep their eye on the ball here and understand that 364 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: this is a terrible move by us if we want 365 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 1: to weaponize our government to go after them, because they'll 366 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: do it right back to us. And there's an argument 367 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: you'll go, well, they already did it to us, So 368 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: it's fair game. You cannot get this back in the 369 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: box if you use it to start getting people fired, 370 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: because and they will use it ten times harder on 371 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 1: us than we ever could have imagined before. That's how 372 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: extreme they are, So don't give them the opportunity. I 373 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,239 Speaker 1: don't believe this is abuse of the airwaves, as some 374 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: have tried to describe it. I don't believe that. I 375 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: want to be clear. I think this was just a 376 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: scumbag whose ratings were down forty three percent. Long before 377 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: Charlie kirk Lie happened. You had only one hundred and 378 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: twenty nine thousand viewers, and the coveted Demo and Jimmy 379 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: Kimmel's ratings have been in the toilet for years, and 380 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: finally it got to the point where they just said, 381 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: we went out and they and he gave them a reason, 382 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: and Disney said, yay, we're going to save a bunch 383 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 1: of money. At the beginning of the year. At the 384 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: beginning of the year, Kimmel had one point nine five 385 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: million total viewers. By the end of August, two weeks 386 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: before his long overdue suspension, all right, the number had 387 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: plummeted to just one point one million viewers. How did 388 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: he lose nine hundred and forty thousand viewers in the 389 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: first half of the year because he'd become so mean 390 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: spirited and hateful towards Donald Trump in his monologues that 391 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:08,199 Speaker 1: they basically conservatives and even moderates like, I'm done with you, 392 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: like you've gone crazy, right, you've gone nuts. You're nowhere 393 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: close to being funny where you were The post, by 394 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: the way, and your post pointed out those rating slide 395 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: is down forty three percent from January, that is at 396 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: one point nine to five million. His August household rating 397 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: was a zero point three to five. It marked the 398 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: weakest showing of the year, and that what would be 399 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: most concerning the ABC Disney is if the corporation driven 400 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,360 Speaker 1: by profit, decided to stay with hate right, because we 401 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: were seeing the collapse of Kimmel's viewers. The eighteen to 402 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: forty nine age demo, which sets the advertising rates, the 403 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: number was at two hundred and twelve thousand and January. 404 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,719 Speaker 1: By August that number had dropped to one hundred and 405 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: twenty nine thousand, and so Stephen Colbert, by the way, 406 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: he was, you know, they cancel the show. He's still 407 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: in the air, but he's gonna be It's at the 408 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: end of the year. It's gone. He was some said 409 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: fired by CBS. The show was just canceled. It lost 410 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: around fifty million dollars a year. It currently attracts, by 411 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: the way more viewers at two point five to seven 412 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: million total viewers and two hundred and eighty one thousand 413 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: and the demo that is coveted for advertisers. So just 414 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 1: to put it in perspective, Jimmy Kimmel was way I 415 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: mean one hundred and twenty nine thousand and the key 416 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: demo compared to two eighty one for Stephen Colbert, and 417 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 1: Colbert was losing them money. The Late Night is done 418 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: with because they were so hateful for so long that 419 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: the that half of America will never watch them, and 420 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: the other half of America has a lot of other 421 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: options to watch, streaming shows, on demand shows. The list 422 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: goes on and on and so the audience is smaller. 423 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: There's more people that spend time on social media than 424 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: ever before because of the phone that's in her hand, 425 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 1: so grabbing viewers is extremely hard. He took them for granted. 426 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: He hated on too many people for far too long. 427 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,920 Speaker 1: And that's where you get yourself in the situation that 428 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: he's in right now. So I don't feel sorry for him, 429 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: But I'm also not giving praise to ABC News like 430 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: they quote did the right thing. I'm not buying that 431 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: at all. And the rich narcissists, they're all getting together 432 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: right now. John Stuart, Stephen Colbert make Jimmy Kimmel's suspension 433 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: all about Stuart, by the way, and Colbert, they're all 434 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: like woe as me? 435 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:33,080 Speaker 2: Right. 436 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: If you're looking for an oasis away from the left 437 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: bitter and divisive politicalization of Charlie Kirk's brutal murder, former 438 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: comedian John Stuart and Stephen Colbert were not the place 439 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: to go. John Nolte's saying this and Breitbart both once 440 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: again bus abused their late night purchase to make the 441 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: long overdue suspensions of Jimmy Kimmel all about them. Stuart was, 442 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 1: so you go to make it all about John Stewart. 443 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 1: He rushed into the studio on Thursday, even though he 444 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: normally only works Mondays. John Stewart returned the Daily Show 445 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: with a government approved program and referred to President Donald 446 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: Trump as a great father and dear leader. He joked 447 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: about Trump's recent visit to the UK and played a 448 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: clip of a reporter's question about Kimmel and whether free 449 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: speech was under attack in America. How dare you, sir? 450 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: How dare you sir? Stuart yelled, what outfit are you with? Sir? 451 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: The Antifa Harold Tribune. When the audience, Booter expressed this 452 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: may Stewart, in a panic, tried to shush them. A 453 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: group of correspondents delivered a message in unison and showered 454 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: the president with over the top praise as though they 455 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: lived in a dictatorship. Naturally, these soon to be well gone. 456 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,919 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert did the same thing, saying, quote, tonight, we 457 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: are all Jimmy Kimmel. That's when he said the start 458 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: of his monologue before decrying the suspension is quote blatant censorship. 459 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 1: With an autocrat, you cannot give thee an inch, he said. 460 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: If ABC thinks this is going to satisfy the regime, again, 461 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: this is how you have people trying to kill the 462 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: president and people trying to kill Charlie Kirk because of 463 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: this type of rhetoric. When you have an autocrat, you 464 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: cannot give an inch. If ABC thinks this is going 465 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 1: to satisfy the regime. They are woefully naive and clearly 466 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: they've never read the children's book If you give a 467 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: Mouse a Kimmel and did Jimmy. Let me just say, 468 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: I stand with you and your staff one hundred percent. 469 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: Both of them, by the way, are lying with a 470 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: claim that the FCC had something to do with Kimmel's suspension, 471 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: when it was the affiliates who on the local stations 472 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: that said we're not airing the show anymore. And Kimmel's 473 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: ratings were in the basement in which he lives. When 474 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel said that Charlie Kirk's accused of sassion was MAGA, 475 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: that was a clear lie. It was a violation of 476 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 1: public interest right and the public interest clause in my opinion. 477 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: But again, that is not why they fired him. They 478 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: fired him because it was insensitive. They fired him because 479 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: his ratings were in the tank. They fired him because 480 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: the money was that the show was unsustainable financially. That 481 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: is what it boils down to. And anyone else saying 482 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: anything else on one side or the other outside of that, 483 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: you're just wrong. You're just wrong. And I go back 484 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: to what I played for you earlier with that x 485 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: Panier chief. She said it clearly, this is a business decision. 486 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 2: Outside of the settlement, there are other actions taken to 487 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 2: ensure there would be regulatory approval. I think about rollbacks 488 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 2: of DEI policies. I think about some things like the 489 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 2: cancelation of Steve Colbert's show. You know that was never 490 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 2: explicitly stated as being part of getting regulatory approval, but 491 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 2: it's something that I think a lot of people assumed. 492 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 2: Do you think that they made the right choices to 493 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 2: ensure that they got the regulatory approval. 494 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 3: I'm not going to tie any of that to regulatory approval. 495 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 3: I can tell you that we had been looking at 496 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 3: late Night. It was financially not viable. It had been 497 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,119 Speaker 3: that way for a long time. We had made a 498 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 3: decision months prior to the announcement that we were not 499 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 3: going to be going forward to that show. I love Stephen, 500 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 3: he does a great job, but we really needed to 501 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 3: be in a financially viable business and you saw we 502 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 3: did that with James Corden as well. And in terms 503 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 3: of DEI, I think the reasons why DEI exists matter 504 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 3: and will always matter, and we need to continue to 505 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 3: fight for those issues, but I think the way in 506 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 3: which DEI has been executed has often led to more 507 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 3: problems than it solved. So any of the changes that 508 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 3: were made or continue to be made, but under us, 509 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 3: I think we were trying to create an environment that 510 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 3: would address the issues in a different way. 511 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: That is the narrative that they don't want you to know. 512 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: CNN Brian Skelter on the cancelation of Cobert the Late 513 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: Show another form of he said capitulation by CBS to Trump. 514 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: There's no indication that that is true. That's another lie 515 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: put out there by Brian Skelter on cancelation of Colbert. 516 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: And now they're doing the same exact lie, the same 517 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: exact lie when it comes to why Kimmel's gone. Kimmel's 518 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: gone because they were losing too much money, and Kimmel's 519 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 1: gone because the show sucked. Don't forget Share this podcast 520 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,880 Speaker 1: please with your family and your friends whereover they are, 521 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: and I will see you back here tomorrow
