9-24-25 - 6am - Jimmy Kimmel Opening Monologue

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Morning, Michael and Dragon. Well, I was going to leave
it alone, but I'll add one more.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, we might be a little redneck out here in Nebraska.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
However, I can tell you I can leave my keys
in my vehicle and I have no fear of it
being stolen. Nor have I ever seen a tent on
any of our sidewalks. Have a great day.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
Where do you live, Carney, Let's go to Omaha. Let's
go to Omah and see what we can find it.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
Down down Omaha.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Now, granted, I've been it down down Omah in years,
so I don't know what it's like. But let's as
long as I can get a battle going between people
all over the country that my life has you know,
fulfilled its purpose. Just start an argument, I Gragon, and

(00:49):
I listened to There's the monologue is about seventeen minutes
in eighteen seconds.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Far too long, far too long. We got through what seven?

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:00):
I think we got through seven minutes of it, and
the seven minutes to get through will probably take us
an hour to get through it.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
And did we laugh at all?

Speaker 3 (01:09):
At one point you said, well that's sort of funny.

Speaker 4 (01:12):
So does that count?

Speaker 1 (01:15):
And you made comment of something that was kind of funny.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
Oh yeah, the Ted Cruise thing, the wrong clip, the
wrong yeah, yeah, the wrong cliff was played. Yeah yeah,
that that was That was a typical comedy thing to do.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
But it wasn't funny.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
But yeah, it was like funny because okay, yeah, that's
when you do something because it's the unexpected. That's comedy.
You catch people off guard. It makes somebody laugh. We
didn't laugh at it. We just said, oh, yeah, that's
that was clever.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
Kind of like when you get a comedian that starts
a new radio show and for the first segment they
pretend like they're not on the area yet, so they're
just dring back and forth talking, you know whatever, and
they go, oh, we're on the air. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah,
it's terrible.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
Yes, it's old, it's tried, it's been done a bazillion times.
So we're gonna and I want to walk through.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Maybe the first seven minutes of it one because I
want you, I want to hear from you on the
text line whether you think it's funny or not. But
it's now a great lesson because he swerves into and
I give them credit for.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
This real quick. I am curious as to if anybody
in our audience watched it live?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
Yeah, that would I would be curious if anybody give us.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
A text three three one oh three Mike or Michael
and let us know if you watched it live. I
know you probably didn't if you're up this early and
already working or on your way to work, but just
ask your curiosity. Did you watch it live?

Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Did you watch it live last night? Neither Dragon nor
I did. I Frank, I didn't even think about it
last night. I did wake up this morning though, thinking,
you know, because I'm thinking, you know what I want
to start off with this morning, Oh Kimmel. So I
knew I wanted to come in and grab the our
clipping service and see if we couldn't find the Kimmel thing,

(03:21):
And boom there was right at the very time.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I didn't even think about it last night. But I
woke up this morning perusing my own social media, so
it's my own small, tiny little window, trying to see
if anybody had posted anything about it or said anything
about it. I saw something about de Niro made a
surprise appearance, and I was like, oh, big shock there.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
Well interestingly, and it doesn't appear to me that de
Niro went to he records this in LA, right.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
No, Kimmel's in New York.

Speaker 4 (03:51):
Well, Kimmel's in New York.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Yeah, okay, Well that's interesting because what I saw in
the clips, you know, where they have the thumbnail, de
Niro appears to be appearing remotely. So de Niro the
New Yorker couldn't take time to go to sixth Avenue
or wherever the hell is Kimmel's studios are as SMS.

(04:13):
I always though Kimmel was in LA, and I don't
know why I thought that Colbert is in New York,
because he's in the Old.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Is in Hollywood. My apologies. I thought, okay, right about that.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
And the only reason I thought he was in LA
was because his logo is kind of an l A
style logo, So that's the only reason I thought that
it was.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
So let's walk through this.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
Because as much time as I have spent not just
because of Jimmy Kimmel, but because of Brendan Carr, because
of Donald Trump, because of just the left in general
focused on the First Amendment, I will say this. I
give them credit. I give the cable credit for doing

(05:01):
an amazing job of conflating heavily regulated broadcast industry and
their right to fire anybody based on what they said
or what they don't say. And in fact, Kimmeill even
gives an example in this of getting fired from an

(05:22):
FCC regulated radio station early in his career for refusing
to say something that management wanted him to say.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Oh where was the.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Hue and cry about that? And then I want you
to think about the news that we've received recently about
Google and everything the Biden administration did. So I fast
forward for the first minute or so to get rid
of the applause, because the audience managers are clearly doing

(05:55):
everything they can to get this audience to just over
the top.

Speaker 4 (06:01):
Oh to me, we love you in your backy.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Audience that gets free tickets to the show, Yes, okay,
the audience that gets free that they're they're you don't
have pay for they just have to stand in line
and go into the theater.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
That's exact for free. Yeah that's exactly right. Okay, Yeah,
now they are free. I think the one time that
I took my son to see Letterman, I think we
reserved the tickets in advance. They were still free, but
we had to get them because it was a high

(06:33):
demand show, so they you know that you had to
get the tickets in advance, but there were still people
waiting outside because people would get free tickets or they
may not have enough people who reserve tickets, and so
they would give away tickets.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
So it's like the Oscars. When somebody gets up, they
have a seat filler that just you know.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Just go fill.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Somebody got to go pee, somebody comes in to fill
that seat.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
And outside the Salevan Theater in Midtown Manhattan, there are
always people mulling around. And I don't know what it's
still true or not, but they also used to mull around.
There was a side entrance to the Ed Sullivan Theater where,
if you remember the Letterman Show, he would occasionally send
the camera crew out to go to the It was
a pizza joint or something, and there was a photoshop

(07:14):
and sometimes they would do you know, stupid pet tricks
or stupid you know things out on the side street,
the cross street, and so there would people be mulling
around on that side street hoping to get a glimpse
of Letterman or whatever stick they were going to play
on the on that side street.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
Whether that's still true with Colbert or not. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
Here we go, let's work our way through this. Now
he's about to say something here that I didn't realize
was a reference to the Butler assassination attempt.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Correct, well it was. It was President Trump, then Candidate
Trump's uh next live campaign speech after it.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
Okay, all right, when we get to explain that to me,
because I missed that reference.

Speaker 4 (08:18):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Anyway, as I was saying before I was interrupted, if.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
You're just is that that's that's the because that's exactly
what Trump had said when he started that, because when
he got shot, he was trying to point to one
of the charts to the side. Yes, and that's when
everything went bad. Then his next public appearance. I do
remember that heed his speech with that.

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Before I was interrupted.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
Yeah, okay, all right, so I dig it Trump right
off to be any I mean in the first minute
and seven seconds.

Speaker 5 (08:53):
Yes, we were preempting your regularly scheduled encore episode of
Celebrity Family Feud to bring you this special.

Speaker 6 (09:00):
I'm happy to be here tonight with you.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'm all right, please, good shit of it.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
I'm not sure who had a weird forty eight hours
me or the CEO of Thailand. All he's been overwhelming.
I've heard from a lot of people over the last
six days. I've heard from all the people in the
world over the.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Last six stays.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
Everyone I've ever met has reached out ten or eleven times.
Weird characters from my past are the guy who fired
me from my first radio job in Seattle, where we
are not airing tonight, by the way, sar Seattle.

Speaker 6 (09:56):
His name is Larry. In nineteen eighty nine, Larry.

Speaker 5 (09:59):
Tried to forced me to do a bit called Jokes
for Donuts, where people will call in with a joke
and I would give them donuts.

Speaker 6 (10:06):
I refused to do it, and then.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
I made a lot of fun with Larry for suggesting it,
and eventually Larry fired me and I had to move
back in with my parents.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
But even HM, well, was that not a violation of
your First Amendment forcing you to say something? You see,
this is the conflation of the First Amendment with his
First Amendment rights. He again, he has the right to
say anything he wants to, and ABC Disney has the

(10:36):
right to suspend him or fire him for anything that
he does say because he's saying it in the workplace.
He is saying it, not as a private citizen, and
even if he were, depending on what his contract terms are,
he may be subject to termination four things he does
off air also, but they just gloss right over that.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
To cheer me up. Thank you, Larry. And I want
to say to everyone who checked in, fine, fine, some
that I do especially want to mention on my fellow
late night talk show hosts, my friend Steven.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Now just get ready, because here we just get a litany.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Of how many names can I drop in thirty seconds?

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Colbert, who has.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
Found himself in this predicament.

Speaker 3 (11:27):
No, Colbert's not in that predicament. CBS Paramount or CBS. No,
it's not Paramount, CBS.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Whatever it is.

Speaker 3 (11:39):
CBS made a business decision that we're going to cut
the bleeding What was it? It was it was a
one hundred million dollars a year production. I think it
was closer to they were losing ten or something.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
There was something.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
I mean, it was it was a significant loss that
the show was incurring. So they announced that they were
termedating the program affecting you sometime in twenty twenty six, not.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Just the host, the entire program.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yes, all everybody that works in that program unless they
found other jobs within CBS are without a job. Okay,
it's not the same. I'm sorry, Jimmy, but it's not
the same. But that's a typical that's a typical mechanism

(12:30):
of trying to bring in sympathy for your position by
bringing somebody else that is in a similar position. But
it fails here because Colbert is not in a similar position.
There was a business decision, just as this was an
original business decision.

Speaker 5 (12:46):
My friend John Stewart said Myers, Jimmy Fallon and Iloman Corner,
O'Brien and Corton Artio, Kathy One that Chelsea even Jay
reached out. I heard from late night hosts in other country,
from Ireland and from Germany.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
The guy.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
Now listen to this part about Germany, because again this
is a great example of the conflation of business decisions
versus First Amendment decisions.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
Germany offered me a job.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
Can you imagine this country has become so authoritarian that
Germans are like, come here, come Ruth, my boy. I
knows Howard Stern and David Letterman were very time and
I feel honored to be part of a group of
people that knows what goes into doing a show like this, and.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
I want to say, say, Carson reached out. Well, Carson's dead,
I know.

Speaker 4 (13:46):
Now that that would have been Actually, that might have
been kind of fun.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Might be going to play even Carson, the ghost of
Carson reached out.

Speaker 5 (13:52):
You were supported our show, cared enough to do something
about it, to make your voices heard so that mine
could be heard.

Speaker 6 (14:07):
I will never forget it, and maybe.

Speaker 7 (14:12):
Maybe most of.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
All, I want to thank the people who don't support
my show and what I believe, but support my right.

Speaker 6 (14:19):
To share those beliefs.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Anyway, now here's where we get the first major I
actually printed off a story last week that was in
one of our trade magazines about Ted Cruz because Cruise
came out and just blasted Trump for or the administration.

(14:41):
I guess I should say he didn't. He didn't specifically
point out Trump. I don't think if I don't recall,
but Cruise was really upset with the idea, and let
me emphasize it would be very careful how I say this.
Cruise was very upset with the I idea of the
government deciding what people can and cannot say. So Cruise

(15:08):
was one of those that for and he knows better,
was one of those that stepped in and misconstrued everything
that Brendan Carr was doing or that Donald Trump had
said regarding the public interest. And this is a business
decision by ABC. And Cruz made a comment about how
we have to protect the First Amendment. Well, I agree.

(15:30):
I do believe we have to protect the First Amendment
within the bounds of what the First Amendment does, which
is prohibits government from abridging the right of freedom of speech.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
Or I never would I imagined, right, Ben Shapiro, Clay Travis,
Candice Owens, Mitch McConnell, Ran Paul, even my old pal
ted Cruz, who believe it or not, said something.

Speaker 6 (15:59):
Very beautiful on my palth.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
I hate what.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Jimmy Kimmel said.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
I am thrilled that he was fired.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
Oh the way, No, not that, but the other part. Yeah,
I see, you're right, Greg. Can I hear it again? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (16:15):
That that's kind of funny. I mean that's you know,
Oh wait, wait, that's that's wrong one. Don't play that one. No, no,
don't play that one.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Here's the one where Crew says.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
But let me tell you, if the government gets in
the business of saying we don't care saying what you
the media have said. We're going to ban you from
the airwaves if you don't say what we like. That
will end up bad for conservatives.

Speaker 6 (16:43):
I don't think I've ever said this before, but Ted
Cruz is right.

Speaker 1 (16:46):
He's right, that's.

Speaker 6 (16:51):
All.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Ted Cruz is right. That's inapplicable to this situation. That
that's the that's the really who wants part that I
think Unfortunately, people other than those who listen to this program,
or maybe even those who listen to this program that
might disagree with me about this, but this is not
a First Amendment case whatsoever, including him.

Speaker 6 (17:16):
I mean, think about it.

Speaker 5 (17:17):
If Ted Chris can't speak freely, then he can't cast
spells on the Smurfs. Even though I don't agree with
many of those people on most subjects, some of the
things they say even make me want to throw up.
It takes courage for them to speak out against this administration,
and they did, and they deserve credit for it.

Speaker 8 (17:36):
And think so telling your followers that our government cannot
be allowed to control what we do and do not
say on television, and that we have to stand.

Speaker 6 (17:48):
Up to it.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
No government can't control what you say or not say
on television, except there are limitations on what you can
and cannot say on television, which has been upheld by
the Supreme Court because you are on a public airway.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
Mike, get really sex saving to listen to Kimmel. What
do you do for an encore?

Speaker 6 (18:11):
Play Kamala next?

Speaker 1 (18:14):
That's funnier than any of Kimel's jokes.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
It is, And in fact, I do have another Kamala
sound bite for today.

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Her book came out yesterday. I wonder what people have
to say about it.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, and what she's saying about it is simply mind boggling.
I'll also see if I I hadn't thought about this,
but now that you reminded me, thank you.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Ah.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
You gotta be careful you call in here and bitch,
you know you gotta be careful about it. CNN had
had a bit yet not a bit of a spot
yesterday about Kamala's approval ratings are plumbiting Yes, the Democrats
preferred candidate now is nwsome she was ahead of Gavin

(19:02):
and now she's dropping in as far below Gavin. Back
to Kimmel, so he continues with He's talked about how
Ted Cruz supports you know the First Amendment.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Well, we all do.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
I've been hearing a lot about what I need to
say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't
think what I have to say is going to make
much of a difference.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
If you like me, you like me.

Speaker 6 (19:20):
If you don't, you don't.

Speaker 5 (19:21):
I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind, but I
do want to.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
Make something which I you know, actually, if he's sincere
about that, that's the attitude anybody who is broadcasting has
to understand.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
That is true.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
I know that that's why you have to take the
attitude that you do not care. And by new I
mean obviously I care, but I know the haters are there.
People dislike it rather listen to something else. It's fine
with me.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
I'm doing what I like to do, and that tracks whomever.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
The tracts clear because it's important to me as a human.

Speaker 5 (20:05):
And that is you understand that it was never my
intention to make light of the murder of a young man.
I don't.

Speaker 7 (20:17):
I don't think there's anything funny about it.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
I posted a message on Instagram and the Dave's killed,
sending love to his family and asking for a compassion,
and I meant it.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
I still do.

Speaker 6 (20:27):
Nor was it my intention to blame any.

Speaker 5 (20:29):
Specific group for the actions of what it was obviously
a deeply disturbed individual.

Speaker 6 (20:35):
That was really the opposite of the point I was
trying to make.

Speaker 4 (20:38):
But Anie, here's where I disagree. I looked up.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
He did post something on Instagram expressing sympathy to the family.
He did do that, So I do believe him that
he was, you know, probably like the rest of a
shock that you know, Charlie was assassinated. You can't be
human and not be shocked by that. But the next
point that he makes about it was never my intention.

Speaker 7 (21:07):
I don't think there's anything funny about it.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
I posted a message on Instagram when the Daves killed,
sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and
I meant it.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
I still do.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
Nor was it my intention to book.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Now here's where I don't believe him, because it was
very clear that he was trying to blame MAGA for
the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The reason I believe that
so sincerely is because, as he clearly admits earlier in
this monologue. Later in this monologue, throughout his entire career,

(21:43):
he despises what we stand for. Now he tries to
justify or say I'm not that bad of a person. Again,
it's the whole I'm not a racist, I've got I've
got a black friend.

Speaker 5 (21:59):
You'll hear that blame any specific group for the actions
of what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual That
was really the opposite of the point I was trying
to make. But I understand that to some that felt
either ill timed or unclear, or maybe both. And for
those who think I did point a finger, I get
why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there's a

(22:20):
good chance I'd have felt the same way. I have
many friends and family members on the other side who
I love and remain close to, even though we don't
agree on politics at all. I don't think the murderer
who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a sick
person who believed violence was a solution and it isn't it.

Speaker 6 (22:41):
Ever, and also.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
Selfishly I am.

Speaker 6 (22:48):
I am a person who gets a lot of threats.

Speaker 5 (22:51):
I get many ugly and scary threats against my life,
my wife, my kids, my coworkers because of what I
choose to say, and I know those threats.

Speaker 6 (22:58):
Don't come from the kind of people on the right
who I know and love. So that's what I wanted
to say on that subject.

Speaker 3 (23:04):
But he assumes that all the threats that he gets
does come from the right, never even imagining that if
he gets threats that there may be some coming from
the left too.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
I don't want to make this about me because and
I know this is what people say when they make
things about them.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
But I really don't know this show. This show is
not important.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
What is important is.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
That we get to live in a country that allows
us to have a show like this.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yes, you are allowed to have a show like that
because you have been your company, your employer has been
given a license. That's an entirely different issue from the
First Amendment. I'm allowed to have this show not because
of the First Amendment, but because the Federal Communications Commission

(24:01):
has issued a license to iHeartMedia to use this public
spectrum of these airwaves to broadcast. It's not satellite, it's
not cable, it's public spectrum. And so they literally auction
off that spectrum and.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Then you.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Buy that you know, ABC, CBS, NBC buy that portion
of the spectrum, and in exchange for that purchase, which
is in the billions of dollars, they get a license
to use that spectrum.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
That's why he.

Speaker 3 (24:39):
Has a show that he has now separate, and apart
from that, he has a First Amendment right. He can
say anything he wants to. Is I've explained ad nauseum.
He can say anything he wants to. However, because he's
saying on the public airwaves, it has to meet that.
What I've done describe incessantly is kind of an amorphous,

(25:04):
nebulous concept of in the public interest, and it is
the obligation, it is the duty. It is the statutory
requirement of the FCC too. In fact, every year every
broadcast station television and radio both have to put in
to the have to file with the FCC all the

(25:28):
stuff that they've done, indicating that they have done some
things that you know are clearly public service kind of
things and explain how what we're doing meets the public interest.
What has not happened is that government has just turned
a blind eye for decades. Republicans and Democrats alike, not

(25:53):
just Democrats, everybody has turned a blind eye to are
we really looking that and truly analyzing about whether or
not broadcast media is doing so in the public interest. Now,
just as a footnote, that's separate apart from the funding

(26:13):
of the public broadcast system, while they are also subject
of FCC regulations. The issue there was not whether they're
operating in the public interest, but should the taxpayers be
paying for a media a broadcast company to do this.
And as I've said for decades, no, taxpayers should not

(26:36):
be paying for that. They should survive in the marketplace
like anybody else because they are operating on the public airwaves.
So Kimmel is just flat wrong, and he's playing to
an ignorant audience that thinks that the First Amendment is
the same as his right to have a show like this. Yeah,

(26:59):
and we'll break here, we'll finish on.

Speaker 4 (27:02):
The other side, Michael, Jimmy's a more on.

Speaker 7 (27:04):
I know I can't get this on the air, but
you know I can't stand that piece.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
All right, fellas, please just fill me in so I
can have some context. Who is this Jimmy Kimmel character?
And why do we care?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Actually, I know you're being a smart ass, but here's
why you should care, because maybe dis may force me
to do the story next hour instead of later in
the program. It is because Jimmy Kimmel is an integral

(27:38):
part of the cabal, and it is his influence on
left leaning people through culture, misinformation, disinformation, outright lies, crocodile tears.
Many of you noticed that he did get he did
get choked up. I don't know whether it's legit or not.

(28:00):
I'm not going to judge that I got, you know,
I question it.

Speaker 4 (28:04):
But who knows.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Maybe he really was choked up about it because he
thought about you know, or maybe he's watched the videos.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
I don't I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Real quick, Michael, you would you mind jumping back to
that part where he was talking about how what his
intentions were and he well, you know what.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
I just happened to have that queued up for you.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Look at you.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Yeah, that's because my producer told me to do this
during the break. Oops, I need a microphone, Yes, thank you. Yeah,
we get it all cued up and then we do that.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
I've been hearing a lot about what I need to
say and do tonight, and the truth is, I don't
think what I have to say is going to make
much of a difference. If you like me, you like
me If you don't, you don't. I have no illusions
about changing anyone's mind. But I do want to make
something clear because it's important to me as a human,
and that is you understand that it was never my
intention to make light of.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
The murder of a young man.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
Okay, keep on you more. Yeah, I.

Speaker 7 (29:04):
Don't think there's anything funny about it.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
I posted a message on Instagram when the Naves killed,
sending up to his family and asking for compassion, and
I meant, but I still do.

Speaker 6 (29:14):
Nor was it my intention to blame.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Any specific group for the actions of what it was
obviously a deeply disturbed individual that was really.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, oh is that so? Yes, let's go ahead and
take a look at what he actually said.

Speaker 4 (29:29):
Hey, let's do that.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Everybody was pointing to the reason why he got suspended.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
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 it.

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Wait, what did he just say, Well, this kid Charlie Kirk,
and you know, MAGA definitely trying to you know, shove
off and blame somebody else.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
And I thought he just said in his monologue from
last night that it wasn't his intention to blame anybody.

Speaker 4 (30:01):
He uh, well, let me, do you.

Speaker 6 (30:04):
Understand that it was never my intention to make light
of the murder.

Speaker 5 (30:11):
And 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 6 (30:20):
In between.

Speaker 4 (30:21):
Oh huh, yeah, so you can judge for yourself.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
What was his intent there? Then?

Speaker 3 (30:27):
Well, I think his intent was to, well, it was
a lame attempt at a joke if you want to
be try to if you want to try to justify it,
and if you consider his entire stick about Republicans and
conservatives and MAGA, it was indeed to pin pin the
murderer as a right winger that killed Charlie Kirk. That

(30:51):
was the intent, no question about it, in my opinion.
What's your opinion now? Because of girl dad trying to
wondering who or why this is important. When we get back,
I'm going to jump ahead of my pos and we're
going to talk about a substactor because it's a great

(31:14):
example of how influential these people are on the left.
