1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: It's time for Donkey of the Day.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 2: Donkey.

3
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: I'm a Democrat, so being Donky of the day is

4
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a mixed but like a donkey

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: the other day, bitch you Now, I've been.

6
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: Called a lot of my twenty three years.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: That donkey of the day is.

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 3: A new one.

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: Yes, Donkey Today for Thursday, September eighteenth, goes to ABC. Now,

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: if you haven't heard, ABC announced that it's pulling Jimmy

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: Kimmel Live off air indefinitely. This comes after threats from

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: the chairman of the FCC to the stations that carry

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: the show and supposed backlash to comments Jimmy Kimmel made

14
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,279
Speaker 2: this week about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Now,

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't even hear

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: anything about these comments until yesterday when they suspended Jimmy

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 2: Kimmel indefinitely. Can we go to CBS News for report please.

18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 3: ABC have suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late night show indefinitely over

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: comments that he made on his show Monday night about

20
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk's death.

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 4: It's new lows over the weekend with the Magga Gang

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 4: as anything other than one of them, and everything they

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: can to score political points from it.

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: The suspension comes after Next Star announced that its ABC

26
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: affiliates would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live. Next Star called the

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: comments quote offensive and insensitive at a critical time in

28
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 3: our national political discourse. A spokesperson for ABC said quote

29
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: Jimmy Kimmellive will be preempted indefinitely. Today. Federal Communications Commissioned

30
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: Chair Brendan Carr blasted Kimmel's remarks and said the FCC

31
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: has quote remedies it could look at. Next Star currently

32
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 3: has a major merger before the Trump administration for its

33
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 3: proposed acquisition of Tegna. Jimmy Kimmel has not commented.

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 2: Now if from understanding this right, people are upset because

35
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: he's implying that the shooter was mad. Understandable. I haven't

36
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: seen anywhere with a guy identifies as Maga, But to me,

37
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 2: that should be neither here nor there. What's the difference

38
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 2: between Jimmy KIMMEO saying the shooter was Maga and all

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,519
Speaker 2: those folks on the right assuming the killer Tyler Robinson

40
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: was a raging left lunatic. Okay, it's the same exact

41
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: energy and exactly why partisan politics have no place in

42
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 2: an institution like the FCC, Because if someone on the

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 2: right gets on Fox, Dues or any of these conservative

44
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: platforms and blames the left before the shooter is even caught,

45
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: the FCC says nothing. Okay, they were talking heads on

46
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: all the news platforms blaming the left, and nobody said anything,

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: but Jimmy Kimmeo comes out, makes the statement he makes

48
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: about the murderer being one of them, and I put

49
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 2: one of them in their quotes, and ABC suspends them.

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: ABC is taken out a page of Paramount's book and

51
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: just kissing the ring. Okay.

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: I know.

53
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Nextstar Media Group owns a bunch of ABC affiliates, and

54
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: they are in the middle of a six point two

55
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: billion dollar merger with media company Tegna, and they will

56
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 2: need the FCC's approval of the merger. It's the same

57
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: exact play as sky Dancing Paramount. I know all that

58
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: this is going on, but could you at least try

59
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: to make it a little less obvious. I mean, FCC

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: Chairman Brendan Carr was on Bennie Johnson's podcast, and he

61
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: literally threatened federal action against ABC affiliates who carried the

62
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 2: show listen.

63
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: Should they have a license granted by us at the FCC,

64
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 5: and that comes with it an obligation to operate in

65
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 5: the public interest. And we can get into some ways

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 5: that we've been trying to reinvigorate the public interest in

67
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 5: some changes that we've seen. But Frankly, when you see

68
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 5: stuff like this, I mean, look, we can do this

69
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 5: the easy way or the hard way. These companies can

70
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 5: find ways to change conduct, to take action frankly on

71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 5: Kimmel or you know, there's gonna be additional work for

72
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 5: the FCC ahead.

73
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 2: You know, for an administration that doesn't like being labeled authoritarian,

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 2: they damn show do a lot of authoritarian things. Okay,

75
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: serious question, y'all are saying you're doing this in defense

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 2: of Charlie Kirk. Do you really believe Charlie Kirk, who

77
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: went on college campuses all the time, debating people of

78
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: all walks of life, that was his thing to do

79
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: you really believe he would support you canceling people for

80
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 2: exercising their free speech. Of course he wouldn't, but you

81
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: all aren't doing this because you're supporting Charlie Kirk. You

82
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: are using the death of Charlie Kirk to push your

83
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: own political agendas. It's actually disgusting.

84
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 4: Okay.

85
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 2: If you cared about Charlie Kirk for real, and you

86
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 2: were the Christians you claim to be, and I put

87
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: Christians in their quotes too, Okay, if you were the

88
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: Christians you claim to be, you would be looking at

89
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: the signs God is trying to show you, and the

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: signs God is trying to show you is having real

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 2: discussions about gun violence, real discussions about common sense gun

92
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: reform in this country. I said this last week and

93
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: I will say it again. I am too a all day,

94
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: but I'm also for common sense gun reform. Charlie Kirk said,

95
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 2: are his words, a certain amount of gun depths are

96
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: worth it to have to right to bear arms? I

97
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 2: ask a simple question in the name of the debate,

98
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: Jolly Kirk champions, is it worth it when the gun

99
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: deaf is you? Is it worth it when the gun

100
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 2: deaf is someone you love? MAGA Conservatives, why are you

101
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 2: avoiding that conversation? Why are you avoiding that debate? Okay?

102
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk got murdered while he was discussing gun violence.

103
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: If that's not a sign from a higher power that

104
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 2: maybe we should be having a conversation about gun violence

105
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: and commisants gun reform, then I don't know what is Okay, Maga,

106
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: I am disappointed in you. Okay. When did y'all become

107
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 2: such snowflakes?

108
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 3: All right?

109
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: You were the anti cancel culture party, the party of

110
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: free speech. Okay, you hated the woke left, and now

111
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 2: y'all the party that needs some sleep. Okay, how do

112
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: you not recognize your own hypocrisy in this situation? Salutor,

113
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: My guy Andrew Shoultz he posted something this morning I

114
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: totally agree with. He said, the left will say fascism

115
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: is wrong unless you kill one of our political opponents,

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 2: then we'll celebrate it. The right will say cancel culture

117
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: is wrong unless you canceled it shows of our political opponents,

118
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 2: then we'll celebrate it. That is absolutely accurate of where

119
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 2: we are as a country. And as my guy Ted

120
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: Ryan used to always say, you have a right, you

121
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: have a left. But most of us are in the

122
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: exhausted majority. Okay, we tired, Okay, we are tired of

123
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 2: the partisan politics because while Dems and Republicans and positions

124
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: of power and government do petty little things like this

125
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: to each other. The people suffer, and networks like ABC.

126
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: I don't understand how you expect to get taken serious

127
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 2: when you bend the knee to an authoritarian strategy. You

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,239
Speaker 2: already paid Trump fifteen million because of the defamation suit

129
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: he filed against George Stephalopolis. Why hepepen out the name stuff?

130
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: You know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm

131
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: talking about. Okay, snuffle upfagus. Now you're suspending Jimmy Kimmel

132
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: in definitely because he made comments about Charlie Kirk when

133
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: you know the real reason you suspended him is because

134
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: you need the FCC to approve this merger between Nextstar

135
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: Media Group and Tagna. Listen man, People who aren't proponents

136
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: of free speech don't want a dialogue. They want a

137
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 2: dictatorship of their own ideas. But the way I'm watching

138
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: all these media companies and institutions bowed down to the

139
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: Trump administration, I'm convinced America just wants a dictatorship. Period.

140
