Kimmel Bites the Dust

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, cooner country. Okay, my friends, the news hit
late last night like an absolute hurricane. I'm talking category five.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
The cultural political left has now suffered a major, major
defeat late night television host. He's supposed to be a comedian.
He's not funny, hasn't been funny in many, many years.
He's just a cheap propagandist for the Democrats. Jimmy Kimmel

(00:35):
was effectively fired by ABC. To be more accurate, his
show has been preempted indefinitely. They are gonna pull his
show off the air. And this comes on the heels
of what happened to Stephen Colbert, another liberal smear merchant,

(00:56):
another mouthpiece for the Democratic Party, who lost his show.
Just what was it a couple weeks or a month ago?
So what you're starting to see now a is that
the left is starting to lose its grip on the
commanding heights of culture. This is something that has been
key to the left's ability to shape debate, impose its

(01:21):
will on America and on American society, their control of
culture and the institutions of popular culture. That grip is
now loosening, and now they're on their heels. What it
is also showing is that the blowback, the backlash against

(01:42):
those on the left who, to me, I will never
forget till the day I die. How so many, not
just on social media, not just ordinary democrats and progressives
and liberals, millions of them across the country. But how
many in the universities, professors, how many of them in

(02:05):
the medical field, say, doctors, nurses, teachers in education, government bureaucrats,
civil service employees openly celebrated, cheered on, joked about the
political murder of an innocent American because they simply didn't

(02:30):
like his ideas. Professors now are being let go for
comments that they've posted on social media. You have doctors,
even surgeons, now being pushed out, nurses being pushed out,
teachers now being forced to step down. This is happening
all over the country. Jimmy Kimmel is now the biggest

(02:52):
and most prominent of those who have now fallen for
their reaction. They're frankly, they're callous, old, savage reaction, their disgusting,
vile reaction. They're mocking of the assassination and death of
conservative civil rights icon Charlie Kirk on Monday. Now, I

(03:16):
want you to think about the context on Monday, Monday evening. Remember, now,
Kirk was killed over a week ago last Wednesday. The
country was in mourning. The country was in absolute shock
and disarray. There was fear that political violence could continue

(03:37):
to spread. You had already people now getting in serious trouble,
losing their jobs, having their careers ruined because they couldn't
help themselves, and were openly cheering and glorifying the death
of Charlie Kirk. Yet this liberal moron went on his

(03:59):
show and he's a diehard anti Trumper. Jimmy Kimmel has
Trump derangement syndrome, and he's had it for years. His
hatred for Maga, his hatred for Trump, his hatred for
Trump's supporters was so powerful, his hate was so all
consuming that this vicious, hateful man couldn't contain himself. He

(04:26):
went on the show and this is what he said.
Roll cut eight, Mike.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang
desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk
as anything other than one of them, and do everything
they can to score political points from it.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Unbelievable, unbelievable, Honestly, unbelievable. The moment I heard when I
read that he had said that. Right away, I said
to Grace and a couple of my friends, I said,
right away, I said, this guy's finished. I said, I'm
telling you he's not going to recover from this this

(05:10):
unless the next day he goes and makes a formal
apology and a full retraction. I said, this guy's career
is finished, finished, and he refused to apologize. He thinks
there's nothing to this day. Even after being fired last night,
he still thinks there's nothing wrong with what he said. Now,

(05:33):
he added insult to injury by saying this. There is
a screen shot. This was Monday evening. There is a
screen shot a clip of Trump talking about the new ballroom.
He was asked about the new ballroom. In other words,
the president has to continue doing his job, so he's

(05:55):
got many things still on his plate. He can't just
stand around and be crying and warning over the death
of Charlie Kirk. He's going to be attending his funeral.
He's been speaking out passionately and eloquently about it. He's
now saying what he's going to do to try to
go after left wing domestic terrorism. But you know, he
can't just sit around all day and just do nothing.

(06:18):
So the media keeps asking him questions about foreign policy,
about the Russia Ukraine War, about Gaza, blah blah blah blah.
They asked about the ballroom, so Trump gave an update
on the construction of the ballroom. Listen now to Kimmel vicious, hateful.
I'm telling you, the guy's a scumbag. Roll cut eight

(06:41):
a a mic.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
In between the finger pointing. There was grieving. On Friday,
the White House flew the flags at half staff, which
got some criticism. But on a human level, you can
see how hard the President is taking this.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
I don't have a lot of your friend, Charlie Kirkman personally.
How are you holding up for the last day and
a half served.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
I think very good.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
And by the way, right there you see all the trucks.

Speaker 5 (07:07):
They've just started construction of the new Baurel to the.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
White House, which is something they've been trying to.

Speaker 5 (07:12):
Get, as you know, for about one hundred and fifty years, and.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
It's going to be a beauty.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
Yes, he's at the fourth stage of grief, construction, the demolition.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Constructing.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
This is not how an adult griefs the murder of
somebody called a friend. This is how a four year
old mourns a goldfish.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Okay, I mean this is by the way, this is
what this guy did for years. This is just a
taste of what this guy did for years. The problem
now is he did it at the wrong time and
now it's finally caught up to him. So this wasn't comedy.
This is not funny. He hasn't been funny for god
knows how many years. This is hate. This is left

(07:56):
wing hate. And that's why his ratings, if you believe it,
were even worse than Stephen Colbert's. So let me tell
you exactly what happened, because now the left, when I say,
they're going apoplectic, they are losing their minds over ABC's announcement.
Now that they're pulling Jimmy Kimmel's show off the air.
They're saying, this is an assault on the First Amendment,

(08:19):
this is an attack on free speech, This was orchestrated
and organized by the White House. That this is now
Trump apparently it's his Reichstag fire. I'm not kidding, this
is it. Now He's now gonna launch his Nazi takeover
of America. It starts with Jimmy Kimmel, Van Jones, that

(08:41):
propagandistan liar, that smear merchant ran onto CNN on the phone,
on the phone, he was on with Aaron Burnett last
night saying, quote unquote, this is a red line, a
red line for the media, a red line for our
industry that has now been crossed. Free speech is now dead.

(09:04):
Really okay, let me tell you what really happened. What
really happened is that the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission,
Brendan Carr, came out and said, after those despicable comments
that he now is gonna look at potentially revoking the

(09:25):
broadcasting license of ABC. And the reason he said was
very simple. You violated what is clearly in the FCC charter.
That was propaganda. That was a blatant lie, and he
knew it was a blatant lie. Jimmy Kimmel was not

(09:46):
let go because he was telling truth to power. As
the left is now claiming, where was the truth? The killer?
Tyler Robinson, the assassin was not Maga. He was not
a Trump supporter. This was not a Maga political assassination.

(10:08):
Are you freaking crazy? We know because He told his
parents what his motive was. He told his lover what
his motive was. He wrote his damn a motive on
a piece of paper and in text messages. This had
nothing to do with him being Maga or so. Now

(10:29):
he's a right winger. Now Tyler Robinson is a right winger.
According to this liar. He lied, He lied, and the
reason why he lied was because he wanted to incite
even more violence. He wanted to pin this grotesque murder
and assassination on Trump and on Trump supporters. And so

(10:51):
ABC executives were now confronted, either we lose our broadcasting
license or we dumped guy whose ratings, I kid you not,
are in the toilet. He was losing ABC money. Six
one seven two, six, six sixty eight sixty eight is

(11:11):
the number. Okay, let me ask all of you, the
great audience of Cooner Country. Should Jimmy Kimmel have lost
his show? Should his show have been pulled off the
air for the comments that he said about Charlie Kirk,
about President Trump, about Maga, about Trump's supporters Monday evening,

(11:36):
in the wake of Kirk's brutal assassination, let me just
play you the shortcut again. Uh, this was him Kimmel
Monday evening. By then, everybody knew Tyler Robinson had been
the shooter, he was arrested, pretty much everybody knew his politics,
that this was a man of the radical left, that

(11:58):
this was an act of left wing terrorism, his ties
to his transgender roommate, his so called boyfriend who's transitioning
to a girl or a woman who's also a furry,
and that he was consumed with hatred for Charlie Kirk
and everything that Charlie Kirk stood for. This had nothing
to do with MAGA, nothing to do with Trump, and

(12:21):
yet he went on the air and lied, I mean
blatantly lied in the most despicable, disgusting way possible. Roll
cut eight one more time. Mike played again my friend.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
Some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang
desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk
as anything other than one of them and do everything
they can to score political points from it.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Yeah, by the way, who's scoring political points from this?
I mean, on top of the top of the fact
that it's you know, it's a brazen lie about who
the shooter is and his political affiliations. Who's scoring political
points off of this? I mean just pouring now gasoline
on the fire. And so here is what happened. He

(13:10):
wouldn't apologize. The blowback kept growing and growing and growing
to the point that it was clearly a crisis. And
so Next Star, which is a a media giant. They
own thirty two ABC affiliated stations, most of them in
very big markets and mid size markets. The president of Nextstar,

(13:35):
this was Tuesday evening, came out and said, we don't
want to carry Jimmy Kimmel's show anymore. What he said
was beyond the pale. It it was a violation of
everything that is good and decent, and we want nothing
to do with him anymore. That this is not what

(13:55):
this country needs at this time. This is inciting more
violence and mocking, mocking the assassination of an innocent American.
Plus he's lying, and that's that we could lose our
license because he lied, So we don't want anything to

(14:18):
do with him. Once Next Star cut him loose, it
was almost inevitable. These are some of the biggest markets
in the United States. Now, this is the key that
you have to remember about Kimmel, Kimmel, like Colbert and
all these late night comedians, Jimmy Fallon, they're all next
now they make no money. They're not Johnny Carson. Carson

(14:42):
made everybody money. Why because Carson never injected politics. I mean,
he'd make the occasional political joke, but it was good natured,
it was good humored, it was both sides. He never
politicized this show. He never made his show a political platform,

(15:03):
especially for one party to go out and destroy another party.
That's what Jimmy Kimmel and the others. Colbert, you can
run right down the line. These are not comedians. These
are political propagandists. They're Democrat activists masquerading as comedians. So

(15:24):
the problem is they don't appeal anymore to mainstream Americans
the way Johnny Carson did. Their ratings are when I'm
talking into toilet, I mean, they're into toilet. The only
people that ended up watching the likes of Jimmy Kimmel
are those on the very far hard left. And if

(15:46):
you even at this point, if you even try to
change and say, well, let me broaden out the audience,
let me try to go more to the middle. The
people that are your base will then leave you. So
he almost had a perverse incentive, like Colbert, just keep
getting even more strident, even more extreme, even more militant,
even more anti Trump, more anti Maga, And so he

(16:11):
becomes even less funny and less appealing. He sees like
a downward spiral. Frankly, many newspapers are in that same crisis. Okay,
like the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe.
I could run down the list. So and their subscriptions
are dwindling, their readership is dwindling because they're not a
serious newspaper anymore. They're just a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. Okay,

(16:35):
but let that go. So the problem with Kimmel, and
I think this is what brought him. This is ultimately
what brought him down. This is not even a free
speech issue. What brought him down. He wasn't making ABC money.
In fact, he was hemorrhaging ABC money. He has an
outrageous salary. What was he getting paid fifteen to twenty

(16:57):
million dollars a year to spew this drek? And so
ABC executives, when they saw that next Star was turning
on him, when they saw the public was disgusted and
had enough of him, and faced with the prospect of
losing their license, looked around and said, we've been looking
for an excuse to get rid of this guy. This

(17:18):
is it. Take it, and that's why they got rid
of Jimmy Kimmel. Now, if the guy had half a brain,
seeing the atmosphere in the country, seeing what was happening
to so many other people, just shut up, just shut up.

(17:38):
But he couldn't help himself. He had to lie, he
had to mock. All right, let me ask you, the
lines are jammed. I'm gonna go right to the phones.
Let me ask you, double barrel question one. Did ABC
slash Disney? Because ABC is owned by Disney, so ultimately
Disney signed off on this. Did ABC Disney do the

(18:02):
right thing in letting Jimmy Kimmel go and pulling his
show off the air? Yes or no? And the left Democrats,
the media, they are going crazy, they're losing their minds,
saying this is now the shutting down a free speech,

(18:23):
This is now a violation and assault on the First Amendment.
Do you agree or disagree? Is the decision now to
can Jimmy Kimmel? Are we now looking at a breaking point?
When it comes to the First Amendment, I say, these
people are insane, but that's me. I want to hear

(18:44):
from you. Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight Michael in Florida. You're gonna kick us off. Michael,
Thanks for holding and welcome.

Speaker 4 (18:58):
Good morning, sir.

Speaker 2 (18:59):
How are you very good after last night's news? You know,
I feel very bad for what happened to Charlie Kirk
and his family, but I got to say, there's justice
and this is now a reckoning, my friend. But so
there's a silver lining, and the silver lining is the Left.
I've never seen them. Now they are taking a beating

(19:23):
and Jimmy Kimmel is now their latest casualty. So yes,
I'm feeling good. Michael.

Speaker 6 (19:28):
There is a god, yes, sir, well as a former
alum of mcgilly University like you, good to talk to
you this morning.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
Jimmy Kimmel got what was coming to him. His brash
and straightforward hatred towards the right finally came to light.
And I appreciate Disney, which I have no affinity for Disney,
but good riddance. And it's a new day in America

(20:03):
for you know, the establishment to really take a look
at the people who are their voice. And you know
our voice has been silenced for too long here on
the right. If I can say that, of course I'm
looking out the window here. I make it shot myself.
But good riddance to Jimmy Kimmel. A voice is great,

(20:27):
The First Amendment is great, and I thank God from
my founding fathers for giving me that voice. But Jimmy
Kimmel was a voice of the left, straight up, just
a voice to the left. And good rittance, And think
heavens for Disney for making right decisions.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
I agree with you, Michael, not one hundred but one
thousand percent. Look, you know many conservatives have been pointing
this out. This is not original on my part. You
look at the First Amendment, and I revere the First Amendment.
I think it's really literally one of the greatest, one
of the greatest amendments ever. I think it's one of
the greatest principles enshrined in law in the history of humanity.

(21:11):
But the First Amendment is crystal clear. What the First
Amendment says, in a nutshell is that the government cannot
arrest you or put you in jail or imprison you
for what you say as it happens, as this happens
in Russia or China or Iran, or in Cuba or

(21:32):
North Korea, or in dictatorships all over the world. It
doesn't say you have a right to your own show,
you know. It doesn't say, well, you can say whatever
you want to hear, employer just got to suck it up. No,
that's not what the First Amendment says. He worked for
a private company. Okay, Now there was a public aspect

(21:54):
to it. It had a broadcast license. But he signed
a contract like I did, and there's a morals clause.
And in that morals clause they say, well your conducted really,
I mean, almost anybody who works in media you have
to sign a morals clause. So, just to give you
an example, if I engage in certain not that I

(22:15):
ever would, but I'm just explaining, if I ever engaged
in certain sexual activity, I'm gone. Like I said, well, Jeff,
that's my private life. That's part of my morals clause.
If you know, if I conduct myself in a certain way,
even though it's in private or you know, off off hours,

(22:35):
the company iHeart has a right to fire me. So
what I'm saying is he violated his morals clause. You know,
I think inciting violence and mocking a political murder of
an innocent man. If that doesn't get you fired, I
don't know what will. So you know, his hatred caught

(22:57):
up with him and he was spid and now he's
paying for his stupidity. But you don't have now. Look,
I'll tell you this, by the way, all this idea
of censorship, I'm telling you he's gonna have a podcast
by the end of the week. He's gonna have his
own podcast. It's so obvious. I think it's gonna bomb
like a show because there's no difference between him and

(23:19):
MSNBC and CNN, and there are all these shrill, hate
filled voices on the left. So he's not funny. If
he's not funny, who wants to listen to this guy?
But the point is he can. He can go on x,
he can go on social media. He can write an
offbed for the Los Angeles Times. He can set up

(23:40):
his own podcast. Hey, he's got so much money that
he's made over the years. He can buy his own radio,
so he can buy radio stations. He can say whatever
he wants. But ABC has first Amendment rights to Next
Star and Disney. They at First Amendment rights to and
when they listen to what you're saying, they're like, no, dude, No,

(24:03):
you're not worth us losing our broadcast license. No, you
know what, dude, maybe people like you are the problem.
Maybe people like you are inciting violence in our country,
and maybe your reaction shows you just don't get it.
You don't get it. A guy like Tyler Robinson most

(24:24):
likely would watch a show like Jimmy Kimmel. That's where
we got his sick ideas that Charlie Kirk was a
Nazi and a fascist and a racist and a hater,
and that all Trump supporters are fascist and Nazis, because
that's what Kimmel spewed day at night after night, week

(24:46):
after week, year after year. So I'm sorry, you're not
guaranteed a job. You have to have a professional code
of conduct at work and it's not even what you say.
You know, I can get fired for how I dress
and rightly.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
So.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
You know you'll come into the studio any places of work,
there's certain standards. I'm sorry. Look, if you're gonna walk
around with your shirt off, well it's my right. It
may be, but not on my dime. I have a
right to enforce a certain code of conduct. So you
can be fired for your attitude. You can get fired
for your dress. You know how you dress. Certainly you

(25:26):
can be fired for stuff that you say. Of course,
I do I want someone who openly celebrates murder, the
killing of innocent people. No, your psychopath. I don't want
you around my customers. I don't want you around me.

(25:46):
I don't want you around other co workers.

Speaker 5 (25:48):
By by.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Michael, am I wrong final word.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
To you, No, sir, marketing one on one. I mean
you know he represented a comempany and uh and I
say in past tense because he's fired. He's fired. But
you know, the representing a company, how you dress. You know,
people are prejudice. I hate to use the word prejudice,

(26:15):
but they prejudge how you dress, how you conduct yourself.
Is again marketing one on one. And good riddance to
Jimmy Kellen And.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Michael,
thank you very much for that call. Now you hit
the nail on the head. Okay, the audience on fire,
already on fire. This is from Kyle on messenger Jeff
the left doesn't understand the difference between freedom of speech

(26:46):
and freedom from consequences. Kimmel can still say what he
wants to, he just can't say it on ABC. Kyle,
You're completely right, absolutely completely right. Okay, this is from
by the way, you can text the cooner man seven
zero four seven zero seven zero four seven zero. This

(27:10):
is from six to one seven Jeff. Regarding Jimmy Kimmel,
his firing doesn't go far enough. Perhaps your audience is
not aware, but Kimmel does not write his own quote
unquote material, nor was he improvising on his feet. These

(27:31):
shows are scripted to the word to each pause and breath.
Someone else wrote it, likely a small team. Kimmel of
course approved it, and these monologues are typically even rehearsed.
Wow really, I didn't know that, so that they actually

(27:51):
do them a couple of times before they go on air. Wow, well,
this makes this thing even worse. To be honest. Anyway, Uh,
six ends with they should all be fired. I agree,
I agree. I mean, then you're really stupid. I mean,
now you're really stupid. I mean I thought this was

(28:11):
just him, you know, just you know, a monologue, and
he just his emotions got the better of him. But
I mean, if this is all written out for him
and he goes through it and he's practicing it and
rehearsing it, then he's really dumb. Oh, He's really dumb. Okay,
one more and then I'm going to go back to
the blazing phone lines. This is from six to oh three. Jeff,

(28:32):
Wait a second, the left is now saying that this
is a violation of free speech. You mean the same
left that defended social media outlets for shadow banning, censoring,
and deeplatforming millions of conservatives for voicing their opinions by saying, quote,

(28:55):
these are privately owned businesses. They don't have to uphold
the First Amendment. And because they're not the government, so
they can't violate free speech, they can remove whomever they
like unquote. As my good friend Jeff Kooner likes to say,

(29:17):
what sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
That's one of my favorite expressions. And in this case, man,
is it pertinent? It's right on. I mean, it's so
spot on. And just to hear, here's the cherry on
the Sunday tell me was Chuck Schumer crying. Was Elizabeth
Warren crying because that's what they're doing now? Was Nancy

(29:41):
Pelosi crying? Was everybody? Was Van Jones and CNN? Were
they crying when? Remember Rosie O'Donnell? And by the way,
the show that she was on was a number one hit.
Unlike Kimmel who's bleeding them cash, okay, losing money hand

(30:01):
over fist, she was making them money and I mean
a ton of money. Remember, under pressure from Obama, Disney
and ABC fired Roseanne Bar. Remember they fired Roseanne Bar
because of comments that she made about Valerie Jarrett off

(30:23):
color comments on it. Was it a Twitter post or
whatever it was, And they said no, No, That's when
the cancel mob. That's when all these woke liberals descended
like bats out of hell and said fire her, get
rid of her, cancel her, destroy her. And ABC said

(30:45):
bye bye, and they cut her loose. Now, the very
same people literally who championed the firing of Roseanne Bar
now are turning around and saying, how dare you do this?
Our Jimmy, what comes around goes around six one seven,

(31:08):
two sixty six sixty eight sixty eight, or as the
coooner Man likes to say, what sauce for the goose
is sauce for the gander. You can't complain. Now, you
wrote the rules. This is the rules that you wanted.
This is the rules that you've imposed on conservatives and

(31:28):
Trump's supporters for years. Now, we're just applying them to you.
Sal in Worcester, Thanks for holding Sal and welcome.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Hey Jeff, Hey Jess are you doing good? How are you? Sal?

Speaker 5 (31:47):
I'm good. I was your summer.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Well, it was great until I shattered my ribs.

Speaker 5 (31:54):
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
That's okay. It was on a trip. I was at
a trip in Croatia and the Ancestral Motherland, and even
then the trip was great. And then I got on
this bus and this idiot bus driver, I mean I
was still. It was a double decker and I was
just going up the stairs to get to my seat,
and the guy just takes off, you know, the bus driver,
And I mean he hits the gas pedal like I like,

(32:16):
it's like the Indy five hundred, and then he slams
on the brakes and I literally fly off the steps,
slam against the wall on my left side, and I
tumbled all the way down the stairs. Anyway, long story short,
I did a lot of damage to my left ribs.
Cooner Man's been really sore the last couple of weeks.
But I am getting better, slowly but surely. But thank

(32:39):
you for asking.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Sal You're welcome, so I wish it was recover Thank you,
thank you. Let me ask you. You know this has
nothing to do with the First Amendment, totally, one hundred
percent nothing to do with the First Amendment. The First
Amendment is alive and kicking and tanged.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Odd for that.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Let me ask you a question. If I start swearing,
you're gonna you're gonna block me off, or you're gonna
or you're gonna let me swear.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
Why is that I would be fined literally millions of dollars.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
Right now if I go on the street, I can
all in this country we have, believe it or not,
a communist party. No one's shutting them down. Is that
this is a problem with the with ethic. If you
are and if you represent a business, you have a

(33:39):
certain standard to indulge or oblige. Hence you can't say
whatever you want. It's got everything you say as consequences.
Look what happened to when when in the Summer of
Love when the uh ryle rittenhouse UH drove to protect

(34:05):
his uh father's business and had to uh had to
defend himself with a rifle that was legally allowed to carry.
The media right away, right away, pushed the narrative that
a white guy thought uh uh shot a couple of

(34:25):
uh Afro American UH persons. There was not even one
black person involved in that shooting. And you know, obviously
it was it was. It was acquitted and UH. But
right away, if you are holding a platform, you have
the responsibility to be as neutral and as possible. Journalists

(34:50):
nowadays they don't print news. They spread their up their
narratives on what the news should be, and some week
brainwash people who don't know how to do their own
research fall into the trap. And then this is, and
then this is, and then this is what happens. That

(35:10):
the problem, the problem in this country right now, it
is a mental health issue. There is a mental health issue.
They have been labeling us since John since Donald J.
Trump descends from the escalator in the Trump Tower, as Nazis, fascist, homophobic, xenophobic,

(35:38):
the whole vocabulary of of of the worst names we
could be called. They don't even know what the means.
What is the mean of Nazism and fascism?

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Brand hit the nail right on the head. Look, you're
completely right. This has been going on now for ten
years and now we're living with the consequences of it.
They have unleashed a form of hatred, irrational, as you
put it, you know, mentally ill. Really it's it's Trump
derangement syndrome. It's really now a mental illness. And you know,

(36:16):
we're hitler, we're authoritarians, we're Nazis, we're fascists, we're white supremacists,
we're racists, we're bigots, we're remember, we're a threat to
democracy that we want to take the whole somehow. What
we want to overturn free elections, like what we want
to ban political parties like this is the kind of
garbage they're spewing, and it's incitement. And now people are

(36:42):
acting out on this incitement and their naked lies, and
they know their naked lies, and they just keep lying
and lying and lying with the intent to inflame. That's
the thing. It's the with the intent to incite. They're
trying to mobilize people to hate us so that we

(37:02):
will be intimidated and eventually allow them to just take power.
It's disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting. And you know you mentioned
when you work for a business, you're completely right. You're
obligated to hold up all kinds of professional standards. Look,
if you're in a business meeting, you can't tell a
client to go f himself. I mean, the company would say,

(37:23):
what are you doing? He said, well, freedom of speech,
not on my dime. You just lost us a client
and you made us look horribly bad. It's to say, look, yes,
I have editorial independence, that's one of the things I
fought for very hard on this show. But I can't
say the F bomb as an example. Why Because I'm
gonna get fined millions of dollars That's why. Obviously. Hello,

(37:49):
And if I keep swearing and they don't censor me,
I e bleep me, then it's going to be more
and more and eventually I'm going to bankrupt the freaking company.
So obviously you have the First Amendment within reason when
you work for an employer. Now, look, Jimmy Kimmel is

(38:11):
free to say anything he wants. No one's gonna put
him in jail. So what's his problem. You work for ABC,
they cut your check. You signed a contract. It's got
a morals clause. And you see, they got so used
to saying anything they wanted sal with impunity that they

(38:32):
almost feel like, actually, he feels entitled. I'll tell you
what the New York Post is reporting, okay, is this
was like at midnight last night. So this is what
they reported last night at midnight, that Kimmel now is
talking to his agents and his producers and that he
is quote unquote their words, the f bomb, that he
is e fing livid at ABC saying how dare they

(38:57):
let me go? That he now wants out of his contract,
that he wants nothing to do with ABC. In other words,
he's the victim. He's the victim. So imagine the gall
of this guy. You want to talk about, a typical
entitled liberal jerk, a narcissist, typical moonbat. You're let me

(39:23):
get this straight. They're paying you twenty million dollars a year.
You lose them money. They're losing millions of dollars on
your show because you turned your show into a political platform.
It's not comedy. You're basically a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party,
and you've been using your show for years to spread

(39:44):
pure hatred against Trump and his supporters. You're losing the
company millions of dollars. You're now destroying their brand. They're
now faced with a massive backlash that could cost literally
the company their license, the whole damn company go bankrupt.
And you're the victim because you mocked the death of

(40:09):
an innocent man and lied and said it was done
by someone who is a supporter of Trump, that he
was a maga. What everybody knows, it's the exact opposite.
So what you can lie with impunity, You can destroy
people's lives with impunity. You can bankrupt your company with impunity. Buddy.
If I'm the president of ABC, I'm like, buddy, who

(40:32):
the F do you think you are? Out out? And look,
don't cry for Jimmy Kimmel, everybody. I mean, he's worth
way over one hundred million dollars. Okay, this guy, by
the way, just so that you know the kind of
sleeves bag, Jimmy Kimmel is mister quote unquote comedian. He

(40:56):
plans a lot of his shows. I literally would Chuck
Schumer staff when they rolled out Obamacare. Chuck Schumer's people
worked with Jimmy Kimmel's people to make fun of Republicans
who were opposing Obamacare. When he makes jokes against Trump

(41:18):
year after year, night after night, he works with Chuck
Schumer's people to make fun of Donald Trump. He's a
political hatchet man. That's what this guy is. No wonder
nobody watched his show. That's not funny. His show wasn't funny.
It's just listening to an angry liberal tell everybody night

(41:41):
after night, I hate him and I hate his supporters.
I hate him. It was poison, it was toxic. Honestly,
it was boring. And now this loser who lost his company,
God knows how much he cost him in ratings and
millions and millions of dollars. Now this guy who's worth

(42:02):
over one hundred million dollars, and you want us to
cry for you. Nah, I don't think so. Nah, I
don't think so. Jimmy. No, it's okay. Jimmy'll be fine.
He's got four mansions, twenty five cars in his driveway.
Trust me, Jimmy Kimmel's gonna be okay. Don't cry for
Jimmy Kimmel. He's going to start his own podcast. Don't worry,

(42:26):
Jimmy'll be flopping his mouth till the day he dies South.
Thank you very much for that call. Don't worry. Nobody's
silencing Jimmy Kimmel. Betty in Quinsy, thanks for holding Betty,
and welcome Jef.

Speaker 5 (42:43):
Jeff.

Speaker 7 (42:44):
How's it going. We're so happy to have you back.
I hope you rips are feeling better.

Speaker 2 (42:48):
My bad. They are, they are, They're starting to get
a little bit better. Thank you, Betty.

Speaker 7 (42:53):
Yeah, Hey, so Amon and Alan Luja. This is long overdue,
a thousand percent. He should have lost his job. She
should have lost more than that. A long time ago,
he had lost his shirt.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
I mean, this guy is not funny.

Speaker 7 (43:08):
And you know, Jeff, during these dark times, everybody needs
a good laugh, you know. And since when do they
pay you for doing a bad job. I mean, my
mother used to say that weatherman, they're wrong all the time.
They still get paid. But this guy, you look at him,
I think they're so green.

Speaker 5 (43:26):
Was envy, I mean, he.

Speaker 7 (43:27):
Can't hold a candle. To Charlie Kirk, to Donald Trump,
I mean it's just I look at Charlie Kirk was
larger than life. What a life?

Speaker 5 (43:39):
I mean, what a movement.

Speaker 7 (43:41):
What a blessing to our country and getting all the
young kids involved.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
They could never even.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
Fathom of doing anything like that, Jeff. I mean, the
only thing is hate.

Speaker 7 (43:52):
That's all they have. That's the only current they have
to play. And you know what, it's so overdone.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
We're all of it.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
The hatred. They lost their soul, they lost their freaking mind.
And I'm done. And this is a great day.

Speaker 5 (44:07):
I think we should all celebrate.

Speaker 2 (44:08):
I'm with you, No, honestly, I'm with you. These people
have been spreading hatred and poison and bile on the
air against us, to be frank, against us, against Conservatives,
against Republicans, against Trump, against Trump's supporters, Trump voters for years,

(44:30):
I mean years. They're conditioning people, they're indoctrinating people to
hate us, to the point now that we're being hunted.
And so every single one of them out out this
is man. We are so far from Johnny Carson it's
not even funny. Really, honestly, you know, you're right. He
couldn't hold a candle to Charlie Kirk. But this guy's

(44:52):
supposed to be a quote late night comedian. He couldn't
hold a candle to Johnny Carson. Well, he couldn't hold
a candle to ja. Not that I'm saying jay Leno
was great, but jay Leno was leagues better than this guy,
you know, or or David Letterman another one. I'm not
crazy about him, but better, I'm telling you, much better

(45:13):
because they were at least funny. I'm telling you they
could be funny. You can actually laugh. This guy miserable?
How are you worth hundreds of millions of dollars with
the show that has hardly any ratings and you know
you live in southern California, beautiful weather, you have multiple mansions,

(45:35):
I'm talking every sports car under the sun, and you're
this miserable and full of hate. Like, what a pathetic loser.
I'm telling you, just as a human being. What a loser. Now, look, Betty,
I'm just being candid with the whole audience. Okay, God
is my witness. He is so privileged, he has no idea.

(45:59):
Do you do you think if I had his ratings
that I'd be on the air. I would be gone.
I would have been gone years ago. The only reason
why this show is on the air are two things.
I'm telling you two things. One the ratings thank the Lord,

(46:20):
we always have sky high ratings. And two because this
show makes iHeart money. I'm not bragging. I don't want
to curse myself. I'm just telling you the truth. We're
not in the red, We're in the black. And that's
why I keep telling the audience. Please. I know there's
a lot of commercials. I know some of you get frustrated,

(46:42):
but the commercials are what keep the show on the
air because I'm making I hurt money. Jimmy Kimmel was
in the red, so you've got no ratings. Nobody wants
to listen to your drek, and you're losing the company money.
And by the way, you're making an outrageous salary of

(47:04):
twenty million dollars a year. And when you glorify and
mock the assassination of an innocent man,
