1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,200 Speaker 1: James and Amanda gem Nation. 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 2: I'd say the timement end Gillespie from The Daily Os 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 2: is here and Jimmy Kimmel is backing. 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,319 Speaker 3: Jimmy Kimmel is back. While he's nearly back, he's going 5 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 3: to be back on air on Tuesday next week broadcasting 6 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 3: at the Jimmy Kimmel Light Show. But of course he 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 3: was canceled nearly a week ago or suspended for these 8 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 3: comments about Charlie Kirk's death. 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 4: Get some new lows over the weekend with the Magga 10 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 4: Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie 11 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 4: Kirk as anything other than one of them and do 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 4: everything they can to score political points from it. You 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,879 Speaker 4: can see how hard the President is taking this. 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 3: I can also done a lot of your friend Charlie Kirk, 15 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 3: Sir personally. How are you holding up for the. 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: Last day and a half, sir, I think very good. 17 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 4: And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. 18 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 2: They just started construction of the new borough for the 19 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 2: White House and it's. 20 00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 4: Going to be a beauty. Yes, he's at the fourth 21 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 4: stage of grief construction. 22 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: Interestingly, I thought he'd said harsh things than that before well. 23 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 3: Exactly, a lot of people were sort of saying, is 24 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 3: that it is that all he said, and a lot 25 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,319 Speaker 3: of people said a lot worse and you know, didn't 26 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 3: seem to lose their right to broadcast. But there's been 27 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 3: this huge momentum building over the last six or so days. 28 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 3: We've had all the other late night hosts come out 29 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 3: in support of Jimmy Kimmel. So, you know, Jimmy Fallon, 30 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 3: Stephen Colbert, John Stewart, John, Oliver, Seth Meyers. But it's 31 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: really started this huge debate about what is first speech 32 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 3: in the US, because of course, the first amendment of 33 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 3: their constitution is the right to free speech. It's their 34 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: most pivotal kind of founding documents, what kind of stood. 35 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: For exactly, that's what shot for that. But having said that, 36 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: people are saying about Jimmy Kimmel, his ratings are failing, 37 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 2: he's not doing well all those late That's not true. 38 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: That's way. He's the number one show out. 39 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: Of all that is number one, And you have to say, 40 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 3: against all the other late night hosts, he's probably the safest. 41 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 3: Like Jimmy Kimmel, I would say he's probably the more 42 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 3: family safe show of all the late night. 43 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: Shows, Jimmy's pretty safe as well. 44 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's safe too. But of course they make fun 45 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: of politicians, but that is, you know, comedy, that's what 46 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: you do always what late night shows hold of time. 47 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: A whole lot of other politicians, including Ted Cruz, have 48 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: said he's mocked me. I don't like it, but I 49 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: would never stop him doing it. 50 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 2: Well, you imagine that happened with us. We've had a 51 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 2: field day at all that Prime ministers. 52 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 3: He yeah, and I don't think that the audience would 53 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 3: want us or any other broadcaster to not be able 54 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 3: to have that field day. What's been really interesting in 55 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: all of this is the FCC. So this is the 56 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: communications broadcast regulator in the US. Their chair, this guy, 57 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: Brendan Carr, has been really vocal about wanting to get 58 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 3: rid of Kimmel. He called his conduct some of the 59 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: sickest possible and really, as chair of the FCC, he 60 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: shouldn't be someone probably who we know about, whose name 61 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 3: we know, and I'm sure no one off the top 62 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 3: of their head knows who the head of AKHMA, the 63 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 3: media regulator here is, But he's a Trump guy. He's 64 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: a MAGA supporter. Trump him in the role, and he's 65 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 3: really set out to kind of get Kimmel and all 66 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 3: the late night hosts off the air for what he's 67 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 3: described as offensive and insensitive comments. Meanwhile, there's this big 68 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: deal going on in the background, a merger between Disney, 69 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: which owns the American ABC that Kimmel broadcasts on, and 70 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 3: a couple of other syndicates. You know how in the 71 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: US they'll have the big networks and then they'll have 72 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,519 Speaker 3: all the regional kind of stations and all the little channels. 73 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 3: So there's about a thirty five TV channel network and 74 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 3: Disney that are doing a big merger worth a couple 75 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: billion dollars that needs FCC approval, that needs FCC approval, 76 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 3: and those TV stations are in conservative slash red States 77 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 3: Republican held strong seats. So there's this other kind of 78 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 3: political conspiracy going on. 79 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: But Disney have been punished financially because of this by people. 80 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 3: Power absolutely so overnight after the first day of Jimmy 81 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 3: Kimmel's suspension, they lost four billion US dollars in revenue 82 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: from people canceling their Disney subscriptions, canceling their visits to 83 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 3: Disney hotels, cruisers, and the likes thereof, so there has 84 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 3: been a huge public fallout. We also saw overnight four 85 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: hundred Hollywood stars sign this open letter calling for Jimmy 86 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: Kimmel to be brought back on air, so Meryl Stree 87 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 3: brought it to Nero, Jen Aniston, all these big names, 88 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 3: and then of course we woke up this morning to 89 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 3: the news that he is coming back. So we've got 90 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: a statement from the Walt Disney Group that said it 91 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 3: made the decision to suspend the show to avoid further 92 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: inflaming a tense situation at an emotional moment for our country. 93 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 3: It said, the decision to bring him back though we've 94 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 3: spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy, and 95 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 3: after those conversations, we reached a decision to return the 96 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 3: show on Tuesday, So he will be back on the 97 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 3: air on Tuesday. 98 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: You didn't have to give into the demands, which was 99 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: making a substantial donation to Charlie Kirk's White Widow and 100 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,039 Speaker 1: also making a substantial donation to Charlie Cook's organization. 101 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 3: Turning point, we don't know then apology of those details 102 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: yet and the one person in all of this who 103 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,679 Speaker 3: we haven't yet heard a peep from is Jimmy kim himself, 104 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: so he still hasn't responded. I'm sure everyone will be 105 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 3: watching on that monologue on Tuesday night, which will be Wednesday, 106 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: for us to see how he's going to handle it. 107 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 3: I doubt he will be, you know, suddenly conforming and. 108 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: It can't afford to supreme leader. 109 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: What are the Real Housewives of New York doing?
