Speaker 1 (00:02):
From the heart of the Space City to the heart
of gen Z. Welcome to Next Gen Conversation, not Dad's
Talk Radio. Ethan talks to you about the issues and
events that mentors you our generation.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is the Next Gen Report.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
With Ethan bu cam In.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hey everybody, good Sunday evening to you. What a weekend.
I hope you were at the Texas Youth Summit. If
you were and I got the chance to see you
or say hi to you, Hey. If you were there
and I didn't see you, Hey anyway, If you weren't there,
you missed out. Sorry, it was great. It always is
great every year. Thank you Christian Collins for such an
(00:44):
awesome event. He was talking about it on the Wednesday
podcast with us as well. If you missed it and
you want to know what it is all about, what
exactly goes on there, you can go listen to that
the Next Gen Report wherever you get podcasts, or also
on x at Underscore Ethan Buchanan and YouTube as well.
Just search Ethan Buchanan or the Next Gen Report on
(01:06):
YouTube will pop up. Welcome to the Sunday edition. We
have got a lot to talk about today. Jimmy Kimmel
got canned. Let's go that was long overdue and well deserved.
But let's start I think with talking about public safety.
Living here in Houston. That's a big issue for us.
We think about that basically twenty four to seven. Everybody
(01:27):
in this city is concerned and thinking about public safety,
and that goes for really most of the country. Houston
isn't special. The entire country has a lot of crime.
And Donald Trump has set himself to solve that problem,
which is great. So here it is Trump signs order
to send National Guard to Memphis for crime crack down.
We saw that in Washington, d C. First, wildly successful,
(01:51):
wildly successful, wildly popular, even in Washington, d C, which
is far left. So now it looks like his next
target is Memphis, Tennessee. President Donald Trump signed a memmo Monday.
We didn't talk about this on the Wednesday show just
because there's too much. We had too much. A memo
establishing a task force in Memphis, Tennessee that would mobilize
the National Guard and other federal law enforcement agencies to
(02:13):
crack down on crimes, similar to steps taken in Washington,
d C. The effort will include the National Guard as
well as the FBI, ATFDAICE, Homeland security investigations, the US marshals,
and more. Trump said in the Oval Office. Now the
left is, of course upset about this, because why wouldn't
they be. Trump is doing something understandable and saying that
most people support, So why wouldn't the left go bananas
(02:36):
about it? They will sit there, they will look you
dead in the eye and tell you Washington, d C,
Saint Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, all these cities that we
know have out of control violent crime. The left will
look you dead in the eye and say, no, actually,
things are fine there. We don't need Trump to do
a crime crackdown. It's a lie, they know it is.
(02:56):
We do need the crime crackdown, the bill. Memphis, the
second biggest city in the red state of Tennessee, tops
the list of top ten most violent cities in the
US with two thousand, five hundred and one violent crimes
per one hundred thousand people, according to data from the FBI.
(03:17):
And the left will still look at you and say, no,
we don't need this. Oops. You know who will look
and say, yeah, this is a problem, we need to
do something about this is the freaking governor of Memphis, Tennessee,
well of Tennessee, including Memphis Governor Bill Lee's He's coming
out there and saying, just as Muriel Bowser of Washington said, Hey,
(03:41):
actually we do have a problem. Actually we do want
President Trump's help. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I've been governor for seven years. I'm tired of Memphis
being held back by this continuous issue of crime. We've
put tens of millions of day and deployed additional resources
for law enforcement. We have worked really hard to make
(04:08):
this situation of crime better in Memphis.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
But I'm tired of Memphis being held back.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I'm tired of being asked by CEOs about whether or
not they can make investments in this city and how
bad the crime really is. I am in a place
in my work and my understanding of how great a
city this is and what its potential is, and how
(04:33):
much is being held back by crime. I'm at a
position to say, if I can have a resource available
to me to use it, any resource available to use it,
I want it. I want to utilize the National Guard,
I want to utilize the Drug Enforcement Agency.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I want to utilize the FBI.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
If this can come in and help our local police
and sheriff's departments execute on the eradication of crime in Memphis.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'm gonna do it, And he says a lot of
things there that maybe most people will it might not
really hit them very hard, because frankly, most of us
don't live in Memphis. If you're listening to the show
right now, you probably live in Houston. But I've been
to Memphis. I love Memphis. I think Memphis is great.
I'm a big Elvis fan. I love seeing Elvis's house.
(05:23):
I went there and I visited. I did the big
tour over there. But also I just love the city.
It's a great city in concept. There's a lot of
good food there. Of course, it's a music superpower. It's
an awesome city. But I've never taken my wife there,
and I'm not going to for this foreseeable future for
(05:45):
the same reason I won't take her to Washington. It's
riddled with crime. It is, like I showed you the headlines.
It's number one on the FBI's Top ten list. Number one.
You don't just get there by accident. It's a terrible
place to live because of the crime. It's a great
(06:06):
place to visit, but you got to say in really
specific areas, and you probably shouldn't even really visit. You know,
who else knows this. It's the actual residence of Memphis, Tennessee.
Here's this random guy named Dwayne Mitchell. I guess some
local station there, some local TV station there, caught up
with this guy outside of a strip mall and here
(06:28):
he is saying, Hey, we need this to happen in
my city because it's dangerous here.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
We need help.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
If you could say one life, one life, I'm happy
with him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
People could be concerned that they're you know, it's not
normal to see you know, militarize people out in the street.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
No, it's not normal, but I mean that's what it takes.
That's what it takes.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
They have to do what they can to kind of
take back control of the city.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
We need do what you can to take back control
of the city from violent crime. We shouldn't accept that
in any of our American cities. We just shouldn't. Citizens
should be able to say, yes, this is my city,
I live here, I voted for the elected officials. I
know who's in office, and I know why, and I
(07:18):
don't need to have my city taken back from gangs
and thugs and murders. That's the situation in Memphis, that's
the situation in any number of left wing cities, and
Democrats will look you dead in the eye and say, no,
this is fine. Donald Trump should not try to clean
up the crime in this city. It's baffling to me
that they wouldn't just do that themselves. That we even
(07:39):
got to the point where Donald Trump feels like he
needs to. But if he's gonna do it, go for it.
Knock yourself out. Everyone should be behind that. All Right,
we got a great show coming up. Stay tuned. Got
to take a quick break, but we will be right
back with more of the Next Gen Report in just
a few minutes. Thank you very much. All ready, welcome
(08:20):
back in Remember at Underscore Ethan Buchanan on x go
give me a follow if you have not already. It's
a good way to get kind of a preview of
the show. If there's a topic that you think is
going to be interesting that you want to say, hey, Ethan,
take a look at this. What are your thoughts on this?
That's a good place to do it. But also a
(08:42):
lot of what I talk about on the show are
things that I talk about throughout the week online on
X I only have one hour here. I have a
lot more to say than just one hour. So if
you're interested in the things I'm saying, go check me
out on X. It's a good place to keep in touch,
all right. The topic of this segment, I think is
probably just going to ilhan Omar. She's gotten on my
nerves recently. I really don't like her, and there's a
(09:07):
lot of reasons for that. Obviously, I disagree with her
politically on quite literally every level. But more importantly than that,
I don't think she should be in this country. I'm
gonna straight up say it. Oh she's a citizen. Eh,
she's a naturalized citizen. Sure, should she have gotten citizenship?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Should we look into revoking that citizenship by any means necessary? Yeah? Absolutely.
She clearly is not interested in the United States of America.
She does not care at all for the American people.
She does not consider herself an American. She's a Somalian.
She is by every stretch of the imagination. That's why
(09:50):
she's here. She's here to be an agent for Somalia
in the United States of America. She said this openly.
But let's start first with how I kind of originally
this week got thinking about her and how she kind
of worked her way into the headlines this week. So
on Friday, there was a vote in the House to
(10:13):
just honor Charlie Kirk as just a victim of a
political assassination. Here is rapid response forty seven, one of
Trump's White House ex accounts, calling out the Democrats who
voted against it. Now, this was not politically partisan necessarily.
(10:33):
This was just saying, hey, Charlie Kirk was a good
man who is a victim of assassination. You don't have
to agree with him, but political assassination is bad, and
we honor him as a victim of that. And fifty
eight of the Democrats voted no. Now, I'll remind you
by contrast the two members of the Minnesota House of
(10:57):
Representatives who were recently victims of political assassinations. Allegedly political assassinations.
We don't really know the details there. It's hard to
iron out the politics of the man who killed Melissa Hortman,
who was the speaker of the Minnesota State House. He
apparently was a registered Republican and had voted in Republican primaries,
(11:18):
but at the same time he had been appointed to
serve in a couple of positions throughout Minnesota state government
by the very left wing Democrat Governor Tim Walls. So
we don't really know. But regardless, their political assassination was bad.
If it was political, and if it wasn't political, their
assassination was bad. No Republican has a problem with saying this,
and no Republican has a problem voting on a resolution
(11:41):
to condemn it, because that resolution a couple months ago
passed the House unanimously. But yet fifty eight Democrats, including
the usual suspects AOC and ilan Omer, voted. Now, if
you can't vote against condemning political assassinations, I don't think
you should be in Congress. I don't think you should
be in this. Ilan Omar could not do that. But
(12:04):
that's just one of her many recent crimes. Here is
a video for going out and saying, oh those of
you that are trying to uh and I use the
word crimes as a joke. There I have to say
everything so literally these days, I freaking hate it. But anyway,
here is illan Omar at a church no less, and
I'll remind you ilan Omar is very Muslim and she's
(12:26):
very proud to be very Muslim. So here she is
in a church for some reason, speaking to a bunch
of Minnesota voters, saying, Hey, if you're trying to rewrite
Charlie Kirk's legacy, presumably as anything other than being a
maga fascist, because that's what she thinks Charlie Kirk is,
then I think you're full of crap. Except she didn't
(12:47):
say craps. All sensure sen censor, not censure, because that's different.
I can't do that, but I will censor it. Here
she is saying that at this town hall in a church,
you gotta be kidding me. And then of course everybody
(13:11):
goes nuts cheering for her. They go bananas. I don't
understand how this woman is in Congress. And this isn't
the first thing she had to say about Charlie Kirk either.
She's been speaking out very vocally against Charlie Kirk. Here
is Texas state representative or not a representative from the
state of Texas, Brandon Gill. Here he is in a
(13:33):
committee hearing calling out the fact that hey, people have
been fired for saying a lot less than what Ilhan
Omar has been saying about Charlie Kirk, and he'll read
off some examples here in this video. Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Just a few days ago, a member of Congress of
this body, Ilhan Omar, shared a video on her social
media account about Charlie Kirk's murder, and I'll quote what
it said. It said, Charlie Kirk was doctor Frankenstein and
his monster shot him through the neck. In other words,
Charlie had it coming to him. The words that he
(14:09):
said naturally led to his assassination. I mean, that is
a reprehensible thing for a member of Congress to say,
to suggest, to promote in any capacity. And there are
people across this country who are losing their jobs for
far less than this. And that, by the way, is
a just response to acceptance and tolerance of political violence.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Just He's right, it is. Remember the objective here is
to make the killing of Charlie Kirk seem normal. That's
what they want. They want you to look at the
killing of Charlie Kirk and say, oh, well, of course,
that's why they keep comparing him to Hitler, to fascists,
(14:54):
to Nazis, because why wouldn't you kill Hitler? He was
a terrible person, right, He murdered six million people. Of course,
you kill the fascists. That's why they keep calling Charlie
Kirka fascists. That's why they keep calling all the other
Republicans they don't like, fascists. This is very intentional. Victor
Frankenstein was a bad man. He created a monster. Of
(15:18):
course that monster would kill him. It's the same thing.
It is. And this is the type of person that
we not only say, hey, welcome to America from the
Third World crap whole country of Somalia. Not only welcome
to America, not only will we allow you to stay here,
will grant you citizenship? You're one of us. Now you
(15:38):
have the same rights and privileges of everyone else. Welcome.
Not only will will we let you stay here, will
we grant you citizenship? Will elect you to Congress. You're
not one of our elected officials. That's supposed to mean
you're out to do everything you can for the benefit
of America. But no, she's clearly open and lee here
(16:01):
in office just to benefit Samalia. I told you she
had openly said this, and I wasn't kidding here. She
is openly saying this. She's saying this in whatever language
they speak in Somalia. By the way, I don't know
what language it is, but here she is at this rally,
openly saying this in her native tongue, that yeah, I'm
here to serve Samalia. Take a listen, you must fix
(16:25):
our roads. I am an American migrant or in Congress,
in the US Congress. But I am a Somali girl,
a girl with your lineage, a girl with your language,
a girl with your religion that was taken, a young
child taken from her country, that misses her country and
(16:49):
wishes to live there. All right, let me stop you
right there. Get out. You wish to live in Somalia,
get the hell out, go live in some Nothing is
stopping you, not a damn thing. Why are you living
in the United States? If you want to live in Samalia,
get a plane ticket. Leave. This woman swore an oath
(17:13):
to uphold and preserve the Constitution of the United States.
She is a member of our government, and yet here
she is openly saying, no, I want to be a Somalian.
I'm a Somali girl from Somalia. I don't want to
be here in America. How how do we allow this?
(17:35):
How did she get citizenship? This does not make any
sense to me. I can't wrap my mind around this.
Allowing her to be a citizen, let alone serve in
our government, is national suicide. Get this woman out. All right,
That's all I've got for you for this segment, But
stay tuned. We're going to be right back with a
lot more in justice. All right, let's talk about Jimmy Kimmel.
(18:18):
I'm not a Jimmy Kimmel viewer. You probably weren't either.
Most people, surprise, surprise, actually weren't. In case you missed it,
he got canned this week. ABC has fired him. The
left is and I'm not even kidding. They might be
(18:39):
being sarcastic, but if they are, I can't tell. They're
trying to turn Jimmy Kimmel almost into their Charlie Kirk,
which is baffling to me because, for one, he didn't
get murdered, he got fired. It's vastly different. At number two,
Jimmy Kimmel was leaped and bounds less inspiring than Charlie Kirk.
(19:05):
But nevertheless, he's been fired and they're trying to make
this their rallying cry. So there's basically two things going
on here. There is the reason he was actually fired,
and there was the reason they're saying he was fired.
The reason the left is saying he was fired is
(19:27):
because he spoke out against the Trump administration and said
something Trump didn't like about Charlie Kirk. That's what they're saying.
They want you to believe, and by they, I mean
the Left want you to believe that all Jimmy Kimmel
did was say something Donald Trump didn't like or call
(19:48):
Trump a fascist, and the Trump administration sent the FCC,
the Federal Communications Commission, after Jimmy Kimmel to get him fired.
That's not what happened. What it looks like happened is
Jimmy Kimmel outright lied about Charlie Kirk and the Charlie
(20:10):
Kirk assassination and the alleged Charlie Kirk killer, and that's
why Trump sent the FCC after Jimmy Kimmel to fire him.
What actually happened, What really happened is Jimmy Kimmel wasn't
very good at his job. People weren't watching his show,
(20:31):
and so the moment ABC had an opportunity to cut
him loose, that's what they did. That's what actually happened.
So for starters, let me just show you what Jimmy
Kimmel's viewership was looking like. Jimmy Kimmel Live. That's his show.
The advertiser coveted eighteen to forty nine demographic also cratered.
(20:55):
Kimmel averaged only one two hundred and hundred twenty nine thousand. God,
I can't read numbers right now. One thousand, one hundred
twenty nine thousand. Goll lee, Do I need to get
these checked? Goodness? Kimmel averaged only one hundred and twenty
nine thousand viewers in that bracket as of August, off
(21:18):
from two hundred and twelve thousand in January and less
than half of his June peak of two hundred and
eighty four thousand. So that's the demographic that advertisers want
to be selling to. We want people that are between
the ages of eighteen and forty nine years old watching
this show, so that we can sell that to advertisers.
(21:41):
We can say, hey, advertisers, look how many people of
this age we have watching the show. These are people
that are spending money. Eighteen to forty nine years old,
that's when you are just throwing money around typically, So
come advertise your product on this show, and those people
just aren't watching this show. Other people were. This is
(22:05):
not his like total advert or total viewership. I think
for the month of August he got around a million views.
I frequently see tweets with more views than that. Frequently,
almost almost on a daily basis, I see tweets with
more views than Jimmy Kimmel. So it kind of makes
sense that ABC is looking at this guy and saying, Okay, well,
(22:26):
is it really worth the time and money for us
to have him employed?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Here?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Are we getting our money's worth out of Jimmy Kimmel.
And there's a strong argument by ABC to say no,
we're not. What they should have just done is say
so we're gonna fire him. That's not what they did.
They looked for an excuse. It's worth asking the question, Okay, well,
why was Jimmy Kimmel getting such poor viewership? And that's
(22:54):
a difficult question to answer, but I think if one
man can answer it, it's Jimmy Kimmel himself. I'm gonna
play you this clip. Christian Collins posted this. It's a
clip of Jimmy Kimmel of his show, and I'm gonna
play you the clip and then you tell me if
this is just riveting television that you can't wait to
get home and watch.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Let's be honest, it was a terrible night last night.
It was a terrible night for women, for children, for
the hundred.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
This is from the election night, by the way, in
case you didn't pick up on that.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
It's of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this
country go.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
For healthcare, for our climate. So just so we're on
the same page, he's so beat up about Trump winning
the election that he tears up on live television. I
don't know about you, but I'm not particularly interested in
going out of my way to just watch a grown
(23:51):
man cry because he didn't get his way in an election.
That just doesn't do it for me. And I'm in
that demographic, and I'm not alone. I'd rather go listen
to a podcast. I'd rather go listen to, you know,
a comedian. I'd go watch a Netflix comedy special before
I sit down and watch this. And I'm not alone
on that. That's a common position to take. You have
(24:16):
to give the people what they want. That's the sad
reality of this business. You have to give the people
what they want, so I mentioned that that's kind of
the real reason he was fired because he wasn't bringing
people in. His content wasn't interesting, it wasn't good. What
(24:38):
a lot of people are saying, Oh, this is why
he got fired. It's because he went and lied about
the shooter, the Charlie Kirk killer, alleged Charlie Kirk killer.
And he did, and that would have been a good
reason to fire him. I think I think this was
just the excuse that ABC gave rather than the actual reason.
(25:00):
But here he is on his Monday show right before
he got fired on Tuesday, just outright lying about Charlie
Kirk's assassin, saying he was some right wing radical maga.
We know this to be false. We knew it to
be false. By the time Kimmel said it. Kimmel knew
it to be false. It wasn't secret private information. The
(25:22):
FBI came out and said this, Yeah, this guy who
killed Charlie Kirk, he was a leftist with a training lover.
Here's all his family saying, yeah, he's a leftist with
a training lover. He's not a right winger. Jimmy Kimmel
knowing all of this openly lied about it. Take a listen.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
We hit 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
doing everything they can to score political points from and
in between the finger pointing, there was grieving.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
On Friday, the White House flew the.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Flags at half staff, which got some criticism, but on
a human life, you can see how hard the President
is taking this back.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Adults down a loft of your friend Charlie Kirk asked
sir personally, how are you holding up over the last
day and a half, sirved.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I think very good.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
And by the way, right there you see all the trucks.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
They just started construction.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Of the new borough for the White House, which is
something they've been trying.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
To So that's what the left says Kimil got fired
for for saying Trump wasn't very sincere about his grief
for Charlie Kirk, and then the right says, no, he
got fired for lying, and he did to a certain extent. Again,
the line was an excuse, make no mistake here. ABC
wanted to get rid of this guy. His contract is
(26:42):
up at the end of the year. They don't want
to renew it. But for whatever reason now they couldn't
just can him, which is what they should have done.
They needed an excuse. This was their excuse when he
said again, I'll play it for you, and I can't
say this enough. He knew this was false when he
said it. Here he is making the claim that Charlie
(27:04):
Kirk's assassin is a right winger. We hit some new lows.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Over the weekend with the Maga gang desperately trying to
characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other
than one of them into it.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Okay, he's not one of us. He isn't. He's definitely
not a grouper kind of the far far, far right
Nick Flintes types, and he's definitely not mainstream. Maga and
Kimmel knew that, and he lied about it anyway. That's
why I think I may be on the wrong side
(27:38):
of this with some of my libertarian friends. But even
if Trump did tell FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to go
crack down on ABC and get them to fire Jimmy Kimmel,
I think he's well within his right too. Because remember
this is ABC, this is broadcast television, this is public airways.
There's a commitment that they have to do things like
(28:00):
tell the truth. This isn't like cable, this isn't like
my podcast. I can say whatever I want right here.
The government can't do a darn thing about it. Well,
this is on the air as well. This is the
Sunday episode, So uh, there's some stricter limitations. But on
the Wednesday show, I'll say that the Wednesday show that
I don't air, that's just a podcast. I can say
whatever I want because that doesn't get broadcasted over public airways.
(28:24):
On this show, I have a little bit more of
a standard that I have to uphold to and show
does Jimmy kill He neglected that standard. He outright lied
and he knew it. I guarantee you he knew it.
And if he didn't, if he completely missed that fact
that this shooter was left wing, then he should be
fired for being stupid. All right, I've got some more
(28:47):
to say about this, so stay tuned. We've got one
more segment talk king about this, and then we're gonna
call it a night. So uh, don't jay Ja dial.
We will be right back with more than next Gen report.
(29:13):
All righty, welcome back. Hey, I want to say one
more time. If I got a chance to bump into
you at the Youth Summit and you're listening now, thank
you very much for tuning in. It was great to
meet a bunch of folks there. I highly recommend you
go to that. And I had mentioned it quickly earlier
in the show. I want to mention it again just
because I really did have a good time. Christian Collins
(29:35):
puts on a fantastic event every year, and if you
missed it this year, stay tuned. He does it every year.
It'll be back next year. You should go. It is
a lot of fun every single time. So yeah, I
got to meet a bunch of people, shook a lot
of hands, took a lot of pictures. So if I
pumped into you and you're here listening now, hey, nice
(29:57):
to meet you. Okay, let's get back to Jimmy Kimmel. Oh,
by the way, let me plug myself real quick at
Underscore Ethan Buchanan on X. Now back to Jimmy Kimmel. So,
of course, like we talked about in the last segment,
he got canned, well deserved. Nobody watched his show. They
should have cannonim a long time ago. The left, again,
(30:19):
like I said earlier, is trying to act like this
is their Charlie Kirk moment. This is what they're gonna
get all fired up about. This is the hill that
they're now gonna go and die on. That's frankly preposterous,
but they're doing it anyway. I don't know why. Again,
nobody likes Jimmy Kimmel. Who are you trying to motivate
right now? The reason Charlie Kirk's assassination motivated so many
(30:43):
people on the right and was such a big deal
to the right is because Charlie Kirk was beloved by
the right and even more politically moderate or even neutral people.
Charlie Kirk was actually an inspirational people that people tuned
into and listen to, unlike Jimmy Kimmel, who ABC desperately
(31:04):
wanted to fire and they finally got an opportunity to
do so. Hate me for saying it. Those are the facts. Anyway.
The left is going nuts despite all this. Here is
Jason Bateman. He's an actor. I honestly couldn't tell you
to save my life. What he's in. I know he's
in a lot of stuff. I'm not trying to say, oh,
(31:26):
he doesn't agree with me, so he must be unimportant.
I know hosts do that all the time. I don't
like it. That's not what I'm doing. I just don't
know what he's in. I'm not that familiar with him.
I know he's in a lot of stuff. I know
who he is. I'm familiar with him. I just don't
know what he's in. Anyway. Here he is talking about, Oh,
how God terrible and evil it is that Jimmy Kimmel
(31:49):
got fired. Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Well, it's troubling, to say the least, and we all
have to really take a moment and figure out how
we feel about this type of thing, especially you know,
people doing what you do. It's it's I'm sure there's
gonna be some sort of collective move to respond to this,
(32:12):
but I'm not smart enough or powerful enough to be
the one to do it. But I imagine there's plenty
of conversations going on to do something, because he just
can't stand by and let stuff like that go on, like, well,
Jimmy getting a show pulled for you know, freedom of speech.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
He didn't get his show polled for freedom of speech.
He got his show pulled for freaking lined people. Again,
it's so transparent. That's another reason this isn't going to
take off. This narrative that they're trying to push will
not make it to Wednesday. It won't because it's so
obvious that what he did was go out to his
viewers an outright lie. And I say his viewers. He
(32:54):
didn't have that many viewers, but that's what he did.
He went out there, he blatantly. Jason Bateman isn't the
only one Van Jones was on CNN. And again he's
trying to make this the left Charlie Kirk moment, he goes,
this is a red line that has been crossed for
the industry for the First Amendment. Ladie, Dottie dot No,
(33:16):
it's not shut up, you idiot. You've never been allowed
to go out on public airways and push just an
outright lie on however few viewers you have. And I'll
show you the actual SCC rules that say you can't
do it in just a minute. But first, here's Van
Jones getting all up within himself about how terrible this is.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
That is why we exist not to knuckle under, not
to do what we're told, but to stand up and
to say listen, if you want to pull these licenses,
then we're going to go to court. It will be
in the court of public opinion. But you don't get
to go on a podcast and set policy for American media,
for an American the institution that's been around a lot
(34:01):
longer than me and you or Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Okay, take note of that claim. He's got more to
say here, and I'm gonna let him finish, But take
note of that claim. You don't get to just go
on a podcast and set policy. So he's trying to
make the case that this was just out of the blue. Again,
he's pushing the narrative that the FCC pressured ABC to
fire Jimmy Kimmel, and maybe ABC did get a letter
(34:26):
from the FCC. All that letter probably said was hey,
y'all want to go ahead and let him go, and
ABC was like, yeah, kind of, but anyway, finish your nonsense,
Fan Jones.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
This is a redline that has been crossed for our industry,
for the First Amendment, for the right of people to speak.
There was nothing hateful about what was said, and even
hateful speech is protected. This is not acceptable if you are.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Okay, that's enough of that. He's right. Hate speech is
protected by the First Amendment, and I will open openly
say that you are allowed to be as hateful as
you want. But I think what the left is realizing
is that we have realized that we can do to
you what you've been doing to us for years. We
can cancel just as good as they can. They're learning
(35:21):
that now for the first time, and they don't like it.
They don't appreciate it, but hey, cancel culture is your baby.
We're just taking it by the legs and smacking you
with it. That's what's happening here. You made this, and
now we're using it against you. You set this precedent,
We didn't. You did this. How many times have conservative
(35:42):
figures or political right wingers been canceled for things they said?
I could rattle off names for days. The first one
that comes to mind, because I'm a big fan of his,
is Shane Gillis, who is canceled for making some Asian
jokes on his podcast. He got fired from SNL. That's
(36:02):
way not as bad as going out to your incredibly
small audience on ABC's network of television stations and pushing
an outright line, which you're not allowed to do. And
that's not just me saying that this isn't policy that
was just made suddenly. This is long standing FCC rules.
I'll show it to you right here, this is FCC
(36:24):
dot gov right here, boom. The FCC does impose certain
restraints and obligations on broadcasters. Again, because these are public airways,
speech regulations are confined to specific topics, which usually have
been identified by Congress through legislation or adopted by the
FCC through notice and comment, rulemaking or adjudicatory proceedings. These
(36:50):
topics include indecently, your indecency, and obscenity. So like, I
can't talk about graphic sex on this show because we
podcast out on public airwaves, I can't drop an F bomb,
or if I do, I have to hit the center button.
A sponsorship identification that just means there's specific rules about
how you sponsor a product. I had to go through
(37:11):
training about that recently, conduct of on air contests, and
here it is right here, this is the golden one
right here. Hoaxes. There are rules about pushing hoaxes. You're
not allowed to do it. So if you know that
a particular assassin who killed a particular right wing figure
(37:34):
is a leftist, and you go out and you push
a hoax that he's a right winger and you're knowingly
lying about that, which either that's what Jimmy Kimmel did
or he was too stupid to know that it was
a lie. An either way, both of those are bad.
He should have been fired. This wasn't just out of
(37:58):
the blue. This wasn't just Trump didn't like him or
got mad at him, and so Trump made the FCC
and make ABC fire him. He violated the rules, the
rules that I know he knew, because I am positive.
ABC makes him go through the same broadcaster conduct training
that I have to go through working for iHeartMedia. Again,
(38:21):
this dog will not hunt for the left, but they
desperately wanted to. They need it to because they have
nothing going on. And the murder of Charlie Kirk has
radically motivated the right wing in a way that frankly,
I think they're scared of, and they should be, because
we're now doing to them what they've done to us
for years. We've had enough. We're playing your ballgame now,
by your rules, and we're gonna win because, for a
(38:43):
number of other reasons, we're just right pun intended. All right,
thank you very much for listening to the next Gen Report.
Follow me on x at Underscore Ethan Buchanan. We'll see
it Wednesday, or right here Sunday evening at seven on
AM nine fifty kprc
Speaker 5 (39:00):
E
From the heart of the Space City to the heart
of gen Z. Welcome to Next Gen Conversation, not Dad's
Talk Radio. Ethan talks to you about the issues and
events that mentors you our generation.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
This is the Next Gen Report.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
With Ethan bu cam In.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Hey everybody, good Sunday evening to you. What a weekend.
I hope you were at the Texas Youth Summit. If
you were and I got the chance to see you
or say hi to you, Hey. If you were there
and I didn't see you, Hey anyway, If you weren't there,
you missed out. Sorry, it was great. It always is
great every year. Thank you Christian Collins for such an
(00:44):
awesome event. He was talking about it on the Wednesday
podcast with us as well. If you missed it and
you want to know what it is all about, what
exactly goes on there, you can go listen to that
the Next Gen Report wherever you get podcasts, or also
on x at Underscore Ethan Buchanan and YouTube as well.
Just search Ethan Buchanan or the Next Gen Report on
(01:06):
YouTube will pop up. Welcome to the Sunday edition. We
have got a lot to talk about today. Jimmy Kimmel
got canned. Let's go that was long overdue and well deserved.
But let's start I think with talking about public safety.
Living here in Houston. That's a big issue for us.
We think about that basically twenty four to seven. Everybody
(01:27):
in this city is concerned and thinking about public safety,
and that goes for really most of the country. Houston
isn't special. The entire country has a lot of crime.
And Donald Trump has set himself to solve that problem,
which is great. So here it is Trump signs order
to send National Guard to Memphis for crime crack down.
We saw that in Washington, d C. First, wildly successful,
(01:51):
wildly successful, wildly popular, even in Washington, d C, which
is far left. So now it looks like his next
target is Memphis, Tennessee. President Donald Trump signed a memmo Monday.
We didn't talk about this on the Wednesday show just
because there's too much. We had too much. A memo
establishing a task force in Memphis, Tennessee that would mobilize
the National Guard and other federal law enforcement agencies to
(02:13):
crack down on crimes, similar to steps taken in Washington,
d C. The effort will include the National Guard as
well as the FBI, ATFDAICE, Homeland security investigations, the US marshals,
and more. Trump said in the Oval Office. Now the
left is, of course upset about this, because why wouldn't
they be. Trump is doing something understandable and saying that
most people support, So why wouldn't the left go bananas
(02:36):
about it? They will sit there, they will look you
dead in the eye and tell you Washington, d C,
Saint Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, all these cities that we
know have out of control violent crime. The left will
look you dead in the eye and say, no, actually,
things are fine there. We don't need Trump to do
a crime crackdown. It's a lie, they know it is.
(02:56):
We do need the crime crackdown, the bill. Memphis, the
second biggest city in the red state of Tennessee, tops
the list of top ten most violent cities in the
US with two thousand, five hundred and one violent crimes
per one hundred thousand people, according to data from the FBI.
(03:17):
And the left will still look at you and say, no,
we don't need this. Oops. You know who will look
and say, yeah, this is a problem, we need to
do something about this is the freaking governor of Memphis, Tennessee,
well of Tennessee, including Memphis Governor Bill Lee's He's coming
out there and saying, just as Muriel Bowser of Washington said, Hey,
(03:41):
actually we do have a problem. Actually we do want
President Trump's help. Take a listen to this.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I've been governor for seven years. I'm tired of Memphis
being held back by this continuous issue of crime. We've
put tens of millions of day and deployed additional resources
for law enforcement. We have worked really hard to make
(04:08):
this situation of crime better in Memphis.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
But I'm tired of Memphis being held back.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I'm tired of being asked by CEOs about whether or
not they can make investments in this city and how
bad the crime really is. I am in a place
in my work and my understanding of how great a
city this is and what its potential is, and how
(04:33):
much is being held back by crime. I'm at a
position to say, if I can have a resource available
to me to use it, any resource available to use it,
I want it. I want to utilize the National Guard,
I want to utilize the Drug Enforcement Agency.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I want to utilize the FBI.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
If this can come in and help our local police
and sheriff's departments execute on the eradication of crime in Memphis.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
I'm gonna do it, And he says a lot of
things there that maybe most people will it might not
really hit them very hard, because frankly, most of us
don't live in Memphis. If you're listening to the show
right now, you probably live in Houston. But I've been
to Memphis. I love Memphis. I think Memphis is great.
I'm a big Elvis fan. I love seeing Elvis's house.
(05:23):
I went there and I visited. I did the big
tour over there. But also I just love the city.
It's a great city in concept. There's a lot of
good food there. Of course, it's a music superpower. It's
an awesome city. But I've never taken my wife there,
and I'm not going to for this foreseeable future for
(05:45):
the same reason I won't take her to Washington. It's
riddled with crime. It is, like I showed you the headlines.
It's number one on the FBI's Top ten list. Number one.
You don't just get there by accident. It's a terrible
place to live because of the crime. It's a great
(06:06):
place to visit, but you got to say in really
specific areas, and you probably shouldn't even really visit. You know,
who else knows this. It's the actual residence of Memphis, Tennessee.
Here's this random guy named Dwayne Mitchell. I guess some
local station there, some local TV station there, caught up
with this guy outside of a strip mall and here
(06:28):
he is saying, Hey, we need this to happen in
my city because it's dangerous here.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
We need help.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
If you could say one life, one life, I'm happy
with him.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
People could be concerned that they're you know, it's not
normal to see you know, militarize people out in the street.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
No, it's not normal, but I mean that's what it takes.
That's what it takes.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
They have to do what they can to kind of
take back control of the city.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
We need do what you can to take back control
of the city from violent crime. We shouldn't accept that
in any of our American cities. We just shouldn't. Citizens
should be able to say, yes, this is my city,
I live here, I voted for the elected officials. I
know who's in office, and I know why, and I
(07:18):
don't need to have my city taken back from gangs
and thugs and murders. That's the situation in Memphis, that's
the situation in any number of left wing cities, and
Democrats will look you dead in the eye and say, no,
this is fine. Donald Trump should not try to clean
up the crime in this city. It's baffling to me
that they wouldn't just do that themselves. That we even
(07:39):
got to the point where Donald Trump feels like he
needs to. But if he's gonna do it, go for it.
Knock yourself out. Everyone should be behind that. All Right,
we got a great show coming up. Stay tuned. Got
to take a quick break, but we will be right
back with more of the Next Gen Report in just
a few minutes. Thank you very much. All ready, welcome
(08:20):
back in Remember at Underscore Ethan Buchanan on x go
give me a follow if you have not already. It's
a good way to get kind of a preview of
the show. If there's a topic that you think is
going to be interesting that you want to say, hey, Ethan,
take a look at this. What are your thoughts on this?
That's a good place to do it. But also a
(08:42):
lot of what I talk about on the show are
things that I talk about throughout the week online on
X I only have one hour here. I have a
lot more to say than just one hour. So if
you're interested in the things I'm saying, go check me
out on X. It's a good place to keep in touch,
all right. The topic of this segment, I think is
probably just going to ilhan Omar. She's gotten on my
nerves recently. I really don't like her, and there's a
(09:07):
lot of reasons for that. Obviously, I disagree with her
politically on quite literally every level. But more importantly than that,
I don't think she should be in this country. I'm
gonna straight up say it. Oh she's a citizen. Eh,
she's a naturalized citizen. Sure, should she have gotten citizenship?
Speaker 5 (09:29):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Should we look into revoking that citizenship by any means necessary? Yeah? Absolutely.
She clearly is not interested in the United States of America.
She does not care at all for the American people.
She does not consider herself an American. She's a Somalian.
She is by every stretch of the imagination. That's why
(09:50):
she's here. She's here to be an agent for Somalia
in the United States of America. She said this openly.
But let's start first with how I kind of originally
this week got thinking about her and how she kind
of worked her way into the headlines this week. So
on Friday, there was a vote in the House to
(10:13):
just honor Charlie Kirk as just a victim of a
political assassination. Here is rapid response forty seven, one of
Trump's White House ex accounts, calling out the Democrats who
voted against it. Now, this was not politically partisan necessarily.
(10:33):
This was just saying, hey, Charlie Kirk was a good
man who is a victim of assassination. You don't have
to agree with him, but political assassination is bad, and
we honor him as a victim of that. And fifty
eight of the Democrats voted no. Now, I'll remind you
by contrast the two members of the Minnesota House of
(10:57):
Representatives who were recently victims of political assassinations. Allegedly political assassinations.
We don't really know the details there. It's hard to
iron out the politics of the man who killed Melissa Hortman,
who was the speaker of the Minnesota State House. He
apparently was a registered Republican and had voted in Republican primaries,
(11:18):
but at the same time he had been appointed to
serve in a couple of positions throughout Minnesota state government
by the very left wing Democrat Governor Tim Walls. So
we don't really know. But regardless, their political assassination was bad.
If it was political, and if it wasn't political, their
assassination was bad. No Republican has a problem with saying this,
and no Republican has a problem voting on a resolution
(11:41):
to condemn it, because that resolution a couple months ago
passed the House unanimously. But yet fifty eight Democrats, including
the usual suspects AOC and ilan Omer, voted. Now, if
you can't vote against condemning political assassinations, I don't think
you should be in Congress. I don't think you should
be in this. Ilan Omar could not do that. But
(12:04):
that's just one of her many recent crimes. Here is
a video for going out and saying, oh those of
you that are trying to uh and I use the
word crimes as a joke. There I have to say
everything so literally these days, I freaking hate it. But anyway,
here is illan Omar at a church no less, and
I'll remind you ilan Omar is very Muslim and she's
(12:26):
very proud to be very Muslim. So here she is
in a church for some reason, speaking to a bunch
of Minnesota voters, saying, Hey, if you're trying to rewrite
Charlie Kirk's legacy, presumably as anything other than being a
maga fascist, because that's what she thinks Charlie Kirk is,
then I think you're full of crap. Except she didn't
(12:47):
say craps. All sensure sen censor, not censure, because that's different.
I can't do that, but I will censor it. Here
she is saying that at this town hall in a church,
you gotta be kidding me. And then of course everybody
(13:11):
goes nuts cheering for her. They go bananas. I don't
understand how this woman is in Congress. And this isn't
the first thing she had to say about Charlie Kirk either.
She's been speaking out very vocally against Charlie Kirk. Here
is Texas state representative or not a representative from the
state of Texas, Brandon Gill. Here he is in a
(13:33):
committee hearing calling out the fact that hey, people have
been fired for saying a lot less than what Ilhan
Omar has been saying about Charlie Kirk, and he'll read
off some examples here in this video. Take a listen.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Just a few days ago, a member of Congress of
this body, Ilhan Omar, shared a video on her social
media account about Charlie Kirk's murder, and I'll quote what
it said. It said, Charlie Kirk was doctor Frankenstein and
his monster shot him through the neck. In other words,
Charlie had it coming to him. The words that he
(14:09):
said naturally led to his assassination. I mean, that is
a reprehensible thing for a member of Congress to say,
to suggest, to promote in any capacity. And there are
people across this country who are losing their jobs for
far less than this. And that, by the way, is
a just response to acceptance and tolerance of political violence.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Just He's right, it is. Remember the objective here is
to make the killing of Charlie Kirk seem normal. That's
what they want. They want you to look at the
killing of Charlie Kirk and say, oh, well, of course,
that's why they keep comparing him to Hitler, to fascists,
(14:54):
to Nazis, because why wouldn't you kill Hitler? He was
a terrible person, right, He murdered six million people. Of course,
you kill the fascists. That's why they keep calling Charlie
Kirka fascists. That's why they keep calling all the other
Republicans they don't like, fascists. This is very intentional. Victor
Frankenstein was a bad man. He created a monster. Of
(15:18):
course that monster would kill him. It's the same thing.
It is. And this is the type of person that
we not only say, hey, welcome to America from the
Third World crap whole country of Somalia. Not only welcome
to America, not only will we allow you to stay here,
will grant you citizenship? You're one of us. Now you
(15:38):
have the same rights and privileges of everyone else. Welcome.
Not only will will we let you stay here, will
we grant you citizenship? Will elect you to Congress. You're
not one of our elected officials. That's supposed to mean
you're out to do everything you can for the benefit
of America. But no, she's clearly open and lee here
(16:01):
in office just to benefit Samalia. I told you she
had openly said this, and I wasn't kidding here. She
is openly saying this. She's saying this in whatever language
they speak in Somalia. By the way, I don't know
what language it is, but here she is at this rally,
openly saying this in her native tongue, that yeah, I'm
here to serve Samalia. Take a listen, you must fix
(16:25):
our roads. I am an American migrant or in Congress,
in the US Congress. But I am a Somali girl,
a girl with your lineage, a girl with your language,
a girl with your religion that was taken, a young
child taken from her country, that misses her country and
(16:49):
wishes to live there. All right, let me stop you
right there. Get out. You wish to live in Somalia,
get the hell out, go live in some Nothing is
stopping you, not a damn thing. Why are you living
in the United States? If you want to live in Samalia,
get a plane ticket. Leave. This woman swore an oath
(17:13):
to uphold and preserve the Constitution of the United States.
She is a member of our government, and yet here
she is openly saying, no, I want to be a Somalian.
I'm a Somali girl from Somalia. I don't want to
be here in America. How how do we allow this?
(17:35):
How did she get citizenship? This does not make any
sense to me. I can't wrap my mind around this.
Allowing her to be a citizen, let alone serve in
our government, is national suicide. Get this woman out. All right,
That's all I've got for you for this segment, But
stay tuned. We're going to be right back with a
lot more in justice. All right, let's talk about Jimmy Kimmel.
(18:18):
I'm not a Jimmy Kimmel viewer. You probably weren't either.
Most people, surprise, surprise, actually weren't. In case you missed it,
he got canned this week. ABC has fired him. The
left is and I'm not even kidding. They might be
(18:39):
being sarcastic, but if they are, I can't tell. They're
trying to turn Jimmy Kimmel almost into their Charlie Kirk,
which is baffling to me because, for one, he didn't
get murdered, he got fired. It's vastly different. At number two,
Jimmy Kimmel was leaped and bounds less inspiring than Charlie Kirk.
(19:05):
But nevertheless, he's been fired and they're trying to make
this their rallying cry. So there's basically two things going
on here. There is the reason he was actually fired,
and there was the reason they're saying he was fired.
The reason the left is saying he was fired is
(19:27):
because he spoke out against the Trump administration and said
something Trump didn't like about Charlie Kirk. That's what they're saying.
They want you to believe, and by they, I mean
the Left want you to believe that all Jimmy Kimmel
did was say something Donald Trump didn't like or call
(19:48):
Trump a fascist, and the Trump administration sent the FCC,
the Federal Communications Commission, after Jimmy Kimmel to get him fired.
That's not what happened. What it looks like happened is
Jimmy Kimmel outright lied about Charlie Kirk and the Charlie
(20:10):
Kirk assassination and the alleged Charlie Kirk killer, and that's
why Trump sent the FCC after Jimmy Kimmel to fire him.
What actually happened, What really happened is Jimmy Kimmel wasn't
very good at his job. People weren't watching his show,
(20:31):
and so the moment ABC had an opportunity to cut
him loose, that's what they did. That's what actually happened.
So for starters, let me just show you what Jimmy
Kimmel's viewership was looking like. Jimmy Kimmel Live. That's his show.
The advertiser coveted eighteen to forty nine demographic also cratered.
(20:55):
Kimmel averaged only one two hundred and hundred twenty nine thousand. God,
I can't read numbers right now. One thousand, one hundred
twenty nine thousand. Goll lee, Do I need to get
these checked? Goodness? Kimmel averaged only one hundred and twenty
nine thousand viewers in that bracket as of August, off
(21:18):
from two hundred and twelve thousand in January and less
than half of his June peak of two hundred and
eighty four thousand. So that's the demographic that advertisers want
to be selling to. We want people that are between
the ages of eighteen and forty nine years old watching
this show, so that we can sell that to advertisers.
(21:41):
We can say, hey, advertisers, look how many people of
this age we have watching the show. These are people
that are spending money. Eighteen to forty nine years old,
that's when you are just throwing money around typically, So
come advertise your product on this show, and those people
just aren't watching this show. Other people were. This is
(22:05):
not his like total advert or total viewership. I think
for the month of August he got around a million views.
I frequently see tweets with more views than that. Frequently,
almost almost on a daily basis, I see tweets with
more views than Jimmy Kimmel. So it kind of makes
sense that ABC is looking at this guy and saying, Okay, well,
(22:26):
is it really worth the time and money for us
to have him employed?
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Here?
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Are we getting our money's worth out of Jimmy Kimmel.
And there's a strong argument by ABC to say no,
we're not. What they should have just done is say
so we're gonna fire him. That's not what they did.
They looked for an excuse. It's worth asking the question, Okay, well,
why was Jimmy Kimmel getting such poor viewership? And that's
(22:54):
a difficult question to answer, but I think if one
man can answer it, it's Jimmy Kimmel himself. I'm gonna
play you this clip. Christian Collins posted this. It's a
clip of Jimmy Kimmel of his show, and I'm gonna
play you the clip and then you tell me if
this is just riveting television that you can't wait to
get home and watch.
Speaker 7 (23:15):
Let's be honest, it was a terrible night last night.
It was a terrible night for women, for children, for
the hundred.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
This is from the election night, by the way, in
case you didn't pick up on that.
Speaker 7 (23:24):
It's of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this
country go.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
For healthcare, for our climate. So just so we're on
the same page, he's so beat up about Trump winning
the election that he tears up on live television. I
don't know about you, but I'm not particularly interested in
going out of my way to just watch a grown
(23:51):
man cry because he didn't get his way in an election.
That just doesn't do it for me. And I'm in
that demographic, and I'm not alone. I'd rather go listen
to a podcast. I'd rather go listen to, you know,
a comedian. I'd go watch a Netflix comedy special before
I sit down and watch this. And I'm not alone
on that. That's a common position to take. You have
(24:16):
to give the people what they want. That's the sad
reality of this business. You have to give the people
what they want, so I mentioned that that's kind of
the real reason he was fired because he wasn't bringing
people in. His content wasn't interesting, it wasn't good. What
(24:38):
a lot of people are saying, Oh, this is why
he got fired. It's because he went and lied about
the shooter, the Charlie Kirk killer, alleged Charlie Kirk killer.
And he did, and that would have been a good
reason to fire him. I think I think this was
just the excuse that ABC gave rather than the actual reason.
(25:00):
But here he is on his Monday show right before
he got fired on Tuesday, just outright lying about Charlie
Kirk's assassin, saying he was some right wing radical maga.
We know this to be false. We knew it to
be false. By the time Kimmel said it. Kimmel knew
it to be false. It wasn't secret private information. The
(25:22):
FBI came out and said this, Yeah, this guy who
killed Charlie Kirk, he was a leftist with a training lover.
Here's all his family saying, yeah, he's a leftist with
a training lover. He's not a right winger. Jimmy Kimmel
knowing all of this openly lied about it. Take a listen.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
We hit 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
doing everything they can to score political points from and
in between the finger pointing, there was grieving.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
On Friday, the White House flew the.
Speaker 7 (25:56):
Flags at half staff, which got some criticism, but on
a human life, you can see how hard the President
is taking this back.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Adults down a loft of your friend Charlie Kirk asked
sir personally, how are you holding up over the last
day and a half, sirved.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I think very good.
Speaker 6 (26:11):
And by the way, right there you see all the trucks.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
They just started construction.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Of the new borough for the White House, which is
something they've been trying.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
To So that's what the left says Kimil got fired
for for saying Trump wasn't very sincere about his grief
for Charlie Kirk, and then the right says, no, he
got fired for lying, and he did to a certain extent. Again,
the line was an excuse, make no mistake here. ABC
wanted to get rid of this guy. His contract is
(26:42):
up at the end of the year. They don't want
to renew it. But for whatever reason now they couldn't
just can him, which is what they should have done.
They needed an excuse. This was their excuse when he
said again, I'll play it for you, and I can't
say this enough. He knew this was false when he
said it. Here he is making the claim that Charlie
(27:04):
Kirk's assassin is a right winger. We hit some new lows.
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Over the weekend with the Maga gang desperately trying to
characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other
than one of them into it.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Okay, he's not one of us. He isn't. He's definitely
not a grouper kind of the far far, far right
Nick Flintes types, and he's definitely not mainstream. Maga and
Kimmel knew that, and he lied about it anyway. That's
why I think I may be on the wrong side
(27:38):
of this with some of my libertarian friends. But even
if Trump did tell FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to go
crack down on ABC and get them to fire Jimmy Kimmel,
I think he's well within his right too. Because remember
this is ABC, this is broadcast television, this is public airways.
There's a commitment that they have to do things like
(28:00):
tell the truth. This isn't like cable, this isn't like
my podcast. I can say whatever I want right here.
The government can't do a darn thing about it. Well,
this is on the air as well. This is the
Sunday episode, So uh, there's some stricter limitations. But on
the Wednesday show, I'll say that the Wednesday show that
I don't air, that's just a podcast. I can say
whatever I want because that doesn't get broadcasted over public airways.
(28:24):
On this show, I have a little bit more of
a standard that I have to uphold to and show
does Jimmy kill He neglected that standard. He outright lied
and he knew it. I guarantee you he knew it.
And if he didn't, if he completely missed that fact
that this shooter was left wing, then he should be
fired for being stupid. All right, I've got some more
(28:47):
to say about this, so stay tuned. We've got one
more segment talk king about this, and then we're gonna
call it a night. So uh, don't jay Ja dial.
We will be right back with more than next Gen report.
(29:13):
All righty, welcome back. Hey, I want to say one
more time. If I got a chance to bump into
you at the Youth Summit and you're listening now, thank
you very much for tuning in. It was great to
meet a bunch of folks there. I highly recommend you
go to that. And I had mentioned it quickly earlier
in the show. I want to mention it again just
because I really did have a good time. Christian Collins
(29:35):
puts on a fantastic event every year, and if you
missed it this year, stay tuned. He does it every year.
It'll be back next year. You should go. It is
a lot of fun every single time. So yeah, I
got to meet a bunch of people, shook a lot
of hands, took a lot of pictures. So if I
pumped into you and you're here listening now, hey, nice
(29:57):
to meet you. Okay, let's get back to Jimmy Kimmel. Oh,
by the way, let me plug myself real quick at
Underscore Ethan Buchanan on X. Now back to Jimmy Kimmel. So,
of course, like we talked about in the last segment,
he got canned, well deserved. Nobody watched his show. They
should have cannonim a long time ago. The left, again,
(30:19):
like I said earlier, is trying to act like this
is their Charlie Kirk moment. This is what they're gonna
get all fired up about. This is the hill that
they're now gonna go and die on. That's frankly preposterous,
but they're doing it anyway. I don't know why. Again,
nobody likes Jimmy Kimmel. Who are you trying to motivate
right now? The reason Charlie Kirk's assassination motivated so many
(30:43):
people on the right and was such a big deal
to the right is because Charlie Kirk was beloved by
the right and even more politically moderate or even neutral people.
Charlie Kirk was actually an inspirational people that people tuned
into and listen to, unlike Jimmy Kimmel, who ABC desperately
(31:04):
wanted to fire and they finally got an opportunity to
do so. Hate me for saying it. Those are the facts. Anyway.
The left is going nuts despite all this. Here is
Jason Bateman. He's an actor. I honestly couldn't tell you
to save my life. What he's in. I know he's
in a lot of stuff. I'm not trying to say, oh,
(31:26):
he doesn't agree with me, so he must be unimportant.
I know hosts do that all the time. I don't
like it. That's not what I'm doing. I just don't
know what he's in. I'm not that familiar with him.
I know he's in a lot of stuff. I know
who he is. I'm familiar with him. I just don't
know what he's in. Anyway. Here he is talking about, Oh,
how God terrible and evil it is that Jimmy Kimmel
(31:49):
got fired. Take a listen.
Speaker 5 (31:51):
Well, it's troubling, to say the least, and we all
have to really take a moment and figure out how
we feel about this type of thing, especially you know,
people doing what you do. It's it's I'm sure there's
gonna be some sort of collective move to respond to this,
(32:12):
but I'm not smart enough or powerful enough to be
the one to do it. But I imagine there's plenty
of conversations going on to do something, because he just
can't stand by and let stuff like that go on, like, well,
Jimmy getting a show pulled for you know, freedom of speech.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
He didn't get his show polled for freedom of speech.
He got his show pulled for freaking lined people. Again,
it's so transparent. That's another reason this isn't going to
take off. This narrative that they're trying to push will
not make it to Wednesday. It won't because it's so
obvious that what he did was go out to his
viewers an outright lie. And I say his viewers. He
(32:54):
didn't have that many viewers, but that's what he did.
He went out there, he blatantly. Jason Bateman isn't the
only one Van Jones was on CNN. And again he's
trying to make this the left Charlie Kirk moment, he goes,
this is a red line that has been crossed for
the industry for the First Amendment. Ladie, Dottie dot No,
(33:16):
it's not shut up, you idiot. You've never been allowed
to go out on public airways and push just an
outright lie on however few viewers you have. And I'll
show you the actual SCC rules that say you can't
do it in just a minute. But first, here's Van
Jones getting all up within himself about how terrible this is.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
That is why we exist not to knuckle under, not
to do what we're told, but to stand up and
to say listen, if you want to pull these licenses,
then we're going to go to court. It will be
in the court of public opinion. But you don't get
to go on a podcast and set policy for American media,
for an American the institution that's been around a lot
(34:01):
longer than me and you or Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Okay, take note of that claim. He's got more to
say here, and I'm gonna let him finish, But take
note of that claim. You don't get to just go
on a podcast and set policy. So he's trying to
make the case that this was just out of the blue. Again,
he's pushing the narrative that the FCC pressured ABC to
fire Jimmy Kimmel, and maybe ABC did get a letter
(34:26):
from the FCC. All that letter probably said was hey,
y'all want to go ahead and let him go, and
ABC was like, yeah, kind of, but anyway, finish your nonsense,
Fan Jones.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
This is a redline that has been crossed for our industry,
for the First Amendment, for the right of people to speak.
There was nothing hateful about what was said, and even
hateful speech is protected. This is not acceptable if you are.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Okay, that's enough of that. He's right. Hate speech is
protected by the First Amendment, and I will open openly
say that you are allowed to be as hateful as
you want. But I think what the left is realizing
is that we have realized that we can do to
you what you've been doing to us for years. We
can cancel just as good as they can. They're learning
(35:21):
that now for the first time, and they don't like it.
They don't appreciate it, but hey, cancel culture is your baby.
We're just taking it by the legs and smacking you
with it. That's what's happening here. You made this, and
now we're using it against you. You set this precedent,
We didn't. You did this. How many times have conservative
(35:42):
figures or political right wingers been canceled for things they said?
I could rattle off names for days. The first one
that comes to mind, because I'm a big fan of his,
is Shane Gillis, who is canceled for making some Asian
jokes on his podcast. He got fired from SNL. That's
(36:02):
way not as bad as going out to your incredibly
small audience on ABC's network of television stations and pushing
an outright line, which you're not allowed to do. And
that's not just me saying that this isn't policy that
was just made suddenly. This is long standing FCC rules.
I'll show it to you right here, this is FCC
(36:24):
dot gov right here, boom. The FCC does impose certain
restraints and obligations on broadcasters. Again, because these are public airways,
speech regulations are confined to specific topics, which usually have
been identified by Congress through legislation or adopted by the
FCC through notice and comment, rulemaking or adjudicatory proceedings. These
(36:50):
topics include indecently, your indecency, and obscenity. So like, I
can't talk about graphic sex on this show because we
podcast out on public airwaves, I can't drop an F bomb,
or if I do, I have to hit the center button.
A sponsorship identification that just means there's specific rules about
how you sponsor a product. I had to go through
(37:11):
training about that recently, conduct of on air contests, and
here it is right here, this is the golden one
right here. Hoaxes. There are rules about pushing hoaxes. You're
not allowed to do it. So if you know that
a particular assassin who killed a particular right wing figure
(37:34):
is a leftist, and you go out and you push
a hoax that he's a right winger and you're knowingly
lying about that, which either that's what Jimmy Kimmel did
or he was too stupid to know that it was
a lie. An either way, both of those are bad.
He should have been fired. This wasn't just out of
(37:58):
the blue. This wasn't just Trump didn't like him or
got mad at him, and so Trump made the FCC
and make ABC fire him. He violated the rules, the
rules that I know he knew, because I am positive.
ABC makes him go through the same broadcaster conduct training
that I have to go through working for iHeartMedia. Again,
(38:21):
this dog will not hunt for the left, but they
desperately wanted to. They need it to because they have
nothing going on. And the murder of Charlie Kirk has
radically motivated the right wing in a way that frankly,
I think they're scared of, and they should be, because
we're now doing to them what they've done to us
for years. We've had enough. We're playing your ballgame now,
by your rules, and we're gonna win because, for a
(38:43):
number of other reasons, we're just right pun intended. All right,
thank you very much for listening to the next Gen Report.
