Sean Hannity breaks down ABC's decision to indefinitely pull Jimmy Kimmel's show, following controversial comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination and President Trump's reaction. Hannity frames Kimmel's exit as a business move due to "tanking ratings and lost ad revenue" rather than the result of conservative outrage or organized boycotts, despite claims from some political figures. Guest insights highlight the contrast between Kimmel's polarizing approach and traditional hosts like Jay Leno and Johnny Carson, who prioritized broad appeal over politics. This matters as it signals a shift in late-night TV, with entertainment value, not partisan attacks, emerging as the new priority for network survival.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
And if you want a little banging your.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Ying me, I come along that rand.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
A false information does not bring this country together. If
you want to work on bringing this country, it's my time,
not yours. Me disagreeing with you, me calling you.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You know I want to be hitler.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
All those things are like not necessarily saying go out
and hurt somebody.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Although you live here, I want you to know, as mayor,
you're not welcome here. And the day you move out
of the city, but with the day that I launched
a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of
the city, credo.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Is back in style. Welcome to the.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Coming to your doing the way I get talas and
saying you a conscious son.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
The new Sean Hennity Show, more him the scenes, information
on breaking news, and more Bond inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
All right, thank you, Scott Channon, Thanks to all of
you for being with us. Right down are toll free
telephone number you want to be a part of the program.
As eight hundred and ninety four one, Shaan if you
want to join us. This breaking earlier today that Erica Kirk,
the wife of the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk,
has now been chosen to lead the organization as its
(01:33):
next chief executive officer. After seeing so much videos, so many,
so much better, so many videos of both Charlie and
Erica together and the advice they would they would give
young people, relationship advice, and the way these young kids
responded was phenomenal. It's advice that that parents really want
(01:57):
to give their kids, but the kids will roll their
eyes if the parents give it.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Does that make sense, Linda at all?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
It just there's certain times like you know, if the
dad's given them advice, Uh, there it goes. Now, Oh,
dad's given me a lecture again. And I don't try
to lecture my kids. But it just really really deep,
profound advice on how to navigate through relationships, navigate through
their faith and and encourage their journey of faith, navigate
(02:27):
through the issue of drugs and alcohol and and and
what relationships should be about what they should look like,
and offering a very moral message and and it was deep,
and it was it was profound, all right. So the
big news of the day has to do with Jimmy Kimmel.
(02:51):
And there's so much BS out there. And I predicted
last night because the story broke just kind of prior
to me coming on the air, and that ABC, ABC
made this decision. ABC, you know, the same ABC that
fired rose Anbar for a tweet, the same ABC that
fired you know, iconic radio talk shows Bob Grant many
(03:15):
many years ago for a comment that he made on air,
controversial comment that he made that same ABC. But it's
really not the issue that you know that that's only
fundamental in terms of if Jimmy Kimmel had a mass audience,
(03:36):
if Jimmy Kimmel were more successful, and he wasn't by
any objective measure there, he would not be probably not
be in the situation that he's in today, even in
spite of what he said. Now, the first crack that
he made about Charlie Kirk was to mock President Trump's
(03:57):
reaction to Charlie Kirk's assassination. Why would you mock somebody's
reaction to that. It's more like the William mourn for Goldfish. Listen,
this is not how an.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Adult grieves the murder of somebody called a friend. This
is how a four year old mourns a goldfish.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Okay, Now I do remember, and I don't remember what
medical issue that his own child was going through, and
I remember thinking, I hope that kid's okay, and that's
all I remember, and I remember him getting very teary eyed.
You would think you'd be a little bit more sensitive
when you're talking about a husband and father of two
(04:30):
young children, mister sensitivity. But anyway, then he claimed that
Charlie Kirk's assassin was Maga, which is simply just fake news.
It's just not true.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Get some new lows over the weekend with the Maga
gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie
Kirk as anything other than one of them and do
everything they can to score political points from it.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
All Right, so we you know, ABC made the decision
to pull Jimmy Kimmel Show off the air indefinitely. If
you ask me, I don't think he's ever coming back,
and I don't think many people are gonna care, meaning
not coming back to ABC. There are plenty of platforms
that will be available Jimmy Kimmel if he wants his
his his political commentary because it's not late night comedy,
(05:20):
which is a big part of the problem. A lot
of this decision came after local affiliate station owners like
Next Star in Sinclair. I thought maybe one of the
more more ironic parts of this Sinclair Uh, They're they're
going to do a tribute instead of Jimmy Kimmel, They'll
do a tribute to Charlie Kirk and all of this,
(05:45):
I mean, his comments were just, you know, just typical Kimmel.
He made a lot of disgusting remarks he made, you
know about for example, the you know, why would you
make that remark about President Trump's grief over the assassination.
And I've had my battles with Kimmel over the years,
but not one time did I ever call for Jimmy
(06:07):
Kimmel's firing. At no time that I ever called for
his for his show to be boycotted. I just called
him out for what he is at jackass, and he
to this day he'll be a jackass. If anything, he'll
be on a platform where he can curse a lot
and say anything he wants about anybody until I guess
it crosses the libel line. Then he will be sued
(06:28):
if in fact he does that. But he has spent
so much of his show has become political. And this
is where we this, this is where now we get
into what the real reasons are. And we've all read
about Stephen Colbert's show and what it had two hundred employees,
(06:48):
it was losing forty million dollars a year according to CBS,
and you know, you have to ask hisself, well, why,
you know what happened? These are supposed to be late
night comedy shows. And you know, it's a typical show
you'd expect to see on on fake news CNN or MSDNC,
and you know that it and there's you know, there
(07:11):
was the predictable race. Humpty Dumpty. I thought, Humpty Dumpty.
Didn't he get fired? They hired him back, right, Humpty
Dumpty's back. That was a badness. There's bad hiring decision.
And Gavin Newsom got involved and JB. Pritzker got involved,
and it's it's not what got Jimmy Kimmel fired. I
(07:32):
can't find and I looked, and I looked last night
before the TV show. I can't find a single prominent
conservative voice in the country that wanted you know, except
for people being critical of the show, saying he sucks
and shouldn't be on the air, there's been no effort
to get him removed from from ABC, not one nobody.
(07:57):
I've never, in my whole career have called for anybody,
anybody's show to be canceled, for anybody to be fired.
I've never, once in my life call for a boycott.
I've experienced all these calls against me in my life,
and I'll get to that in a second. But the
show was failing spectacularly. His ratings are even lower than
(08:18):
Stephen Colbert's ratings, which were pretty low, because these are
supposed to be late night comedy shows and they've become
nothing more but a never ending, you know, Trump hate shows,
and that in and of itself is problematic. There's plenty
of that everywhere else on the TV and you know,
(08:41):
all over the legacy media mob. So what's happened is
he had a show that at one point had decent
ratings when he inherited it, and he ran that show
into the ground and as a result, the ratings tanked,
and the ratings have been in the sewer now for
(09:02):
some time. When ratings go that low then revenues they
begin to dry up. In other words, Jimmy Kimmel failed
at his job. He lost a significant portion of the
audience he inherited when he took over that show and
then lost you know, or since he's had the show
and then lost you know, revenue that they had predictably
(09:26):
counted on at ABC Disney. And my understanding is is
most of these station groups they were just fed up this.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
This was like the straw that broke the camel's back.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
They had a show with low ratings that wasn't generating
a lot of revenue, and they didn't want the show anymore,
and so they were putting it on hiatus.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
But in the end it was ABC that made the decision.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
And my understanding is it's probably going to be replaced
with Steve Harvey's Celebrity Family Feud. Steve Harvey's funny Steve
Harvey on that show is funny. That show is more entertaining.
I predict they'll probably have higher ratings with Celebrity Family
Feud than with anything Kimmel was offering. Now, the good part,
(10:14):
if there's any if if Kimmel, who according to reports,
is very angry today, wants any good news, you'll have
an opportunity to be platformed. But it's just not going
to be where he is now. And as Brendan Carr,
he first said it to podcast to Benny Johnson, then
he said it to us last night. Is what people
(10:35):
don't understand is if you're on a broadcast network. If
you're on a broadcast network, it's entirely different than if
you're on a cable channel. And they have a license
that is granted by the FCC, and with that license
comes an obligation to operate in the quote public interest. Now,
(10:56):
the public interest part of that equation has been ignored
for many many years. But a lot of things have
been ignored many many years, and the Trump administration has
decided that they're not going to ignore it anymore. But
I find the other hypocrisy of it is pretty spectacular,
you know, a little odd. We had Barack Obama complaining
(11:17):
that the Trump administration is somehow responsible for getting Jimmy
Kimmeo fired. It's precisely the kind of government coercion The
First Amendment, Obama said, was designed to prevent media companies
need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it. Well,
that makes, you know, a particularly interesting comment, because Roseanne
(11:37):
Barr retweeted that and said that it was Michelle Obama
and Barack Obama that actually called Bob Iger to get
her fired from her top rated ABC show that was
making a ton of money in twenty eighteen, and Obama
personally thanked ABC's Bob Iger for dumping rose Hand. Now,
(11:58):
Obama had been out of the White House little over
a year at the time, but when a network executive
gets a request for a favor from an ex president
and his wife, altha whom a Democratic Party, you know,
icons that executive is going to take note, and they did.
Roseanne said, Michelle Obama's the one that got me fired.
She's the one that called ABC that I had to
(12:20):
go because of my quote racist tweet. Bob Biger who
fired me. That his first phone call was the Valerie
Jarret to apologize to her, and that Michelle Obama also
got a phone call with them, and that Barack Obama
called them afterwards to thank him for firing me. That's
what she said. Look, these broadcast networks I got to
(12:40):
know from a friend of mine. I thought it was
dead on accurate. They've been tone deaf since they shared
this deep psychotic trumpt arrangement syndrome, rage and hatred of
Trump and the political beliefs, and this is their talent.
They failed miserably, and you know, and they lost their
(13:03):
audience in the process. And the political convictions, already misguided,
blinded them to the economics of what the programming was about.
Let me play for you, and this was set after
Colbert was fired by Jay Leno. Let's listen to what
Jay Leno said.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
There was an analysis done of your work on the
Tonight Show for the twenty two years and that your
jokes were roughly equally balanced between going after Republicans and
taking aim at Democrats.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Well, that's strategy. That Well, it was fun to me
when I got hate letters from damns on you and
your Republican friends, who well miss and I hope you
and your Democratic buddies are happy over the same joke,
and I go, well, that's good.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
So that's how you get a whole audience.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Now you have to be content with half the audience
because you have to give your opinion.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Well, and it's worth noting that both you and Roddie
Dingerfield experienced and have been experiencing enormous success.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Right, so your approach worked in the marketplace, Well why
shoot for just half an hour insult right time? You know,
why not try to get the whole? I mean, I
like to bring people into the big picture.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group,
you know, or just don't do it at all. I'm
not saying you have to throw your support or whatever,
but just just do what's funny?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Why alienate half the country? Now, let's go to the
great Johnny Carson. Johnny Carson was on with Mike Wallace
and this is how that went out.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Ex sensitive about the fact that people say he'll never
take a serious controversy. Well I have an answer to that.
I said, no, tell me the last time that Jack
Benny red Skeleton Benny comedian use his show to do
serious issues.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
That's not what I'm there for.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Can't they see that? But you and I do.
Speaker 9 (14:49):
They think that just because you have it tonight's show,
that you must deal in serious issues. It's a danger.
It's a real danger. Once you start that, you start
to get that so important fee what you say has
great import and you know, strangely enough, you could use
that show as a form, you could sway people, and
I don't think you should as an entertainer.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I don't think you should as an entertainer. These are
supposed to be entertaining shows, and they lost their audience,
they lost their revenue. I do have articles. Thanksweet Baby, James,
I really appreciate you reminding me. Headline the rap fox
News should fire Sean Hannity. Media matters head says uniquely destructive.
Let's see, oh, another article that he thankfully pulled out
(15:32):
of the archives. Well, fox News fires Sean Hannity a
naive and hopeful analysis. These are Sean Hannity's leading advertisers.
I don't remember any liberal caring when I got fired.
And ironically, when Tucker got fired, who was leading the
cheers but Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Here's what he said, Fox News has severed bow ties
with Tucker Carlson after all these years.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
They are party ways, which means he was fired. I mean,
that's really what party weighs me. He Tucker couldn't be
reached for comment. He's already on a plane to Moscow
to meet with his manager.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
But what a shock, I mean, what an absolutely delightful shock.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
This is al.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Tucker can spend more time at home, tanning his testicles
and touching himself to that sexy green M and M. Sadly,
he's probably not done poisoning old people's brains.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
The question now is where will he do it next?
Will he go to O A N? Will he go
to newsbacks?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Will he crawl back up Satan's fiery b hole from
once he came? We don't know one of the most
despicable mother Tuckers ever to appear on American television.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Oh so, I guess that that gives us free rein
to celebrate his his demise and his firing. Eight hundred
nine four one Shawn. If you want to be a
part of the program, H'm twenty five till the top

into sharing information with the wrong people, the wrong organizations.

expose your personal information. That's why we all need LifeLock

for any risk to your identity. If they detect anything wrong,
they will alert you to any potential identity threat. You know,

and a LifeLock member like my neighbor, you'll get a
a dedicated US based restoration specialist that will fix it.

eight hundred LifeLock LifeLock dot Com promo code Hannity Today.
You know there is a business aspect too, broadcasting. It's
(18:33):
just an undeniable fact. I think Johnny Carson said it well,
we just played that. I think that Jay Leno said
it well. I think that's one of the reasons their
shows were so infinitely more successful. And as these late
night not funny, supposed to be comedy shows have deteriorated
(18:54):
into basically, you know, mocking, making fun of slandering and
smearing half the country and being obsessed with all things
Donald Trump. You know, this is a predictable outcome if
you go back to the days when Politically Incorrect was
on ABC. The show did well and when it got
(19:17):
canceled because of something that Bill Maher said, I understood
what he was saying. A lot of people didn't like
what he said. You know that the hijackers on nine
to eleven, you know, when somebody said that they were
when the government said they were cowards, he said, no,
I wouldn't use that phrase, meaning that they were insane
(19:38):
killers and they didn't care, and that you know, to
be a killer like that. It just was more nuanced anyway,
you know, the loudest voices that I recall, I can
only speak for myself, but the loudest voice is saying
that ABC shouldn't fire Bill maher with people like Rush
Lombaugh and Mark Levin and Sean Hannity, and there were others,
(20:03):
not that I think he would ever remember, but those
were the voices that said this is ridiculous. But that
didn't stop. In all the years that I've had calls
for boycotts of this show or you know, efforts to
get me fired from this show, or efforts to get
me fired from Fox or boycotted from Fox. In all
those years, I don't remember many liberal ever standing up
(20:27):
for me. When when Joy Reid was about to get
fired because of comments she had made years earlier, I
said that, you know what, she should, you know, be
given a second chance. And I was told later by
an NBC executive True story that I that my commented,
(20:48):
my comments on this played a major role in her
at the time being able to keep her job. And
I don't agree with the single thing she says. But
I don't want to be a part of this cancel culture.
I don't want to call for people's firing. I'm not
calling I didn't call for Jimmy Kimmel's firing, and I
had more fights with Jimmy Kimmel than any conservative that
(21:10):
I can think of. You know, when I used to
spend waste my time on social media, which I don't
really do anymore. But you know, it's it's kind of
like they just they're kind of like Rush used to
call it flyover country. You know, it's they're like flyover
networks driven by their thought minders, you know in California,
(21:31):
New York and DC, and that's who they did their
show for. And you know, and you want to understand
the phenomenon that continues with alternative media like talk radio,
alternative media like new podcasters, alternative media. And I still
believe it's alternative because there's nothing else like it Fox News,
(21:56):
and I will be completing my thirtieth year, if you
can believe it, next month, thanks to all of you.
You know, the growth of these alternatives and all the
online options that are available and social media that is available,
although that is becoming cancerous and toxic in its own right.
And you know, these anonymous people in their basement underwear.
(22:18):
We've seen this since the assassination of Charlie Kirk has
just been horrible and his you know, Kimmel's if you
want to know the truth, I mean, he tried hard
to get fired, even predicted that these shows wouldn't last
because he knew the ratings were in decline, and with
ratings decline comes the predictable revenue decline, which then results
(22:40):
in them canceling shows. That's kind of the way it's
always worked anyways. Can's show will be replaced on Sinclair
Television stations. Their local stations paid to run ABC's Jimmy
Kimmel Liive said that they will refrain from broadcasting Kimmel's
show indefinitely following following his comments that he made about
(23:03):
Kirk's assassination. It didn't detail which stations would air tribute,
but the firm is a portfolio apparently that includes as
many as one hundred and eighty five TV stations around
the country eighty five markets throughout the US affiliated with
different networks ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, and they said
(23:23):
they will refuse to lift the suspension of Kimmel's show
on its stations until formal discussions are held with ABC
regarding the network's commitment to professionalism and accountability. The broadcaster
also called on Kimmel to issue a direct apology to
the Kirk family. Apparently Jimmy Kimmel went nuclear. According to
(23:45):
The Daily Mail, he's gone absolutely apoplectic. He's gone nuclear
after ABC pulled this show, Insiders telling The Daily Mail
that the late night host is absolutely effing livid that
they canceled his show hours before he was about to
tape and go on the air. The sources revealed he
was holding a crunch meeting with network executives, but it's
(24:08):
keen to break his relationship with with them forever. And
apparently he's already teeing up a short teeing up a
guest slot with acted CBS star Stephen Colbert. One of
his producers said they were wandering around like aimless cows,
adding I've never seen Jimmy this angry. You know, Jimmy
(24:31):
really has nothing else. I just played for you. Jimmy
Kimmel's celebrating when Tucker Crossing got fired. You know, you
really don't have a career in broadcasting if at some
point you don't get fired. I kind of got fired
early in my career. In retrospect, I would argue I
deserved every bit of it because I was stupid. But
everyone else on the station was stupid too. They all
(24:52):
should have been fired. But that's a different issue for
a different day. But anyway, it's the other big netw
work group is next Star. They made their announcement that
they rejected the comments made by mister Kimmel concerning the
killing of Charlie Kirk. A lot of these stations are right,
they're in major markets, but they're not in California, they're
(25:14):
not in DC, and they're not in New York. And
there's a whole other part of the country and if
you look at the electoral map, that part of the
country is red. And to insult all of those people
as on a nightly basis and then see your ratings
deteriorate on a daily basis, you know, should have been
(25:37):
a wake up call for everybody involved.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
In that sense.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I think you can blame probably network executives for a
lot of what's going on here. But you know, apparently
one article said ABC execs were quote pissing themselves fearing
Trump blowbacky and Kimmel despite thinking he didn't cross the line,
according to one report, And then all these liberals coming
(26:00):
out the systemic destruction of freedom of speech, did they
ever once when any conservative was ever fired, or any
calls for any firing. No, they supported these groups that
organized these boycotts and these these efforts to cancel conservative shows.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
So saved me the lecture. I don't remember, Linda, when.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
They were publishing, without my permission, thousands of my personal
text messages. Did anyone ever stand up for me when
they were boycotting the show? It was the audience that
stood up for me when when carag pulled off the
show and then all these people started destroying their their
(26:40):
Carrig machines in the coolest ways imaginable, hitting them with
baseball bats, dropping them from you know, third floor windows,
and letting them smash.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
How many Carrig machines that I ended up.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Buying as a result of that, because I ended up
buying if everyone that defended me a thousands, organically, I
bought a thousand.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Of a thousand. Did we get a discount? We did
get a discount.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Ironically, the gentleman who we bought the curate machines from
was a huge Hannity fan. So well, it was the
audience that saved me in that moment, and it was
it was kind of a perilous moment for me, and
it happened organically. I didn't all of a sudden somebody
starts sending me all these videos. I'm like, holy moly,
(27:27):
I couldn't believe it. Rose O'donald predictably melting down. It's
all very predictable behavior, and it's it's it's not the
result of a conservative group of people wanting to get
Jimmy fired. Anyway, we have other news to get to here.
(27:48):
Uh oh. Kamala Harris revealed that her first choice for
VP would have been Pete Buddha Judge, but she decided
she couldn't pick him because he was gay. According to
The Hill, Harris revealed in her upcoming book that Transportation
Secretary pop Hool Pete was her first choice for running mate,
but that he would have proved too risky. Atlantic reported
(28:11):
an excerpt of her book, One hundred and Seven Days,
detailing Harris's assessment that Buddha Judge would have been an
ideal partner if I were a straight white man. But
we were already asking a lot of America to accept
a woman, an African American woman, a black woman married
to a Jewish man, the former Vice President Rope. I mean,
(28:32):
is this all predicated on the belief that they think
the country's bigoted, because if they do, they're wrong. Newly
declassified documents indicate that the congenital liar Adam Schiff. No
shock here, we already knew this and believe this to
be true. Recently declassified twenty seventeen documents link people close
to ex FBI boss James Comy and now Senator Adam
(28:55):
Shift to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed
to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in
league in the league with Russia. According to Real Clear
investigations Paul Sperry and now picked up by The New
York Post. The documents exposed selected Washington reporters, notably The
(29:16):
Washington Post New York Times scored these scoops by repeating false,
inflammatory leaks. We've lived through this, and it's all been debunked,
and it's all getting exposed, and all these people should
be held accountable. Later in the program, we're talking to
our friend Peter Navarro is a new book out. I
went to prison so you won't have to a love
(29:37):
and lawfair story, and Trump Land he didn't have to
go to jail. Way, do you hear his story. It's unbelievable.
Immigration judge in Louisiana ruled the Democratic favorite pro hamas
rabble rouser should be deported to Algeria. Ooopsie Daisy, Oh
God forbid. The funniest thing I think that happened this
(29:58):
week is Kathy Hokle finally gave into the pressure endorsed
Zorn Tommy Marxist Mundani, and then he refused to endorse
her back. I don't know why I thought that was
so funny, but they did think it was funny. President
Trump has designated Antifa a major terrorist organization. I'm not
(30:21):
sure why David Axelrod would be against that, but apparently
he is. That's a little bit shocking. I'm not sure
exactly why, but he was grimly warned Trump that the
designation of the leftist grouped would be used to go
after the president's enemies. It's not really These people are lunatics. Unbelievable,
(30:48):
but you know, people stand by me and believe what
they want to believe. We have a lot of Charlie
Kirk news that I want to get to in the
course of the program today, not the least of which
the edged assassin negotiated his surrender, was afraid of being shot.
And of course Erica is now going to head up
(31:09):
the organizations. He's going to be the new CEO, and
we wish her the best. And it's going to be
a rough weekend. I think the funeral is on Saturday
and then the rally is on Sunday of this week.
An immigration judge in Louisiana's rule Democrats pro amous rabble rouser,
as I said, would go to Algeria. But back to
(31:32):
kirk here for a second. The family of these suspected
assassin should quote lay low. According to the local sheriff,
they need to lay low for a long time. Unfortunately,
Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby said to reporters after being
asked about the family of Tyler Robinson. So even I'll
(31:53):
throw this out there. I have a second cousin with
the last name Robinson, who appears to be an optometrist
in town, and you know his office has been receiving
threatening calls.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
People need to stop with this. They need to stop.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
According to a new report on foxnews dot Com, Charlie
Kirks alleged the assassin's roommate was problematic before the family
ended up kicking that person out. There's a lot more
to this story. I'll tell you some things.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I want to know.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Was anybody else involved? There are apparently in and around
the area extremist groups that share this assassin's you know,
twisted worldview and even have the word armed in the
name of their organizations, and I want to know that
part of it. I want to know if anybody else
(32:42):
was involved in it. I want to know if he
acted alone. There's just too many unanswered questions here, and
the FBI has got to turn over every stone and
get to the bottom of it. I will have more
on the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. I think permanent.
That's my guess. We'll find out what happens. We haven't
(33:04):
seen any reaction. It was ABC that pulled them. Local
stations had had it with his comments after Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Then later in the program, our friend Pete Navarro, his
book is so compelling. I went to prison so you
won't have to a love and law fair story and
drump pland trust me, the Left gets back in power,
(33:25):
they'll come after us all again.
Well, well, come out, you don't way I get talis
and saying you a conscious cell, will I'll be tied.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
I a little tell.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
And if you want a little banging your.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Ying me, I come along that rand.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
A false information does not bring this country together. If
you want to work on bringing this country, it's my time,
not yours. Me disagreeing with you, me calling you.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You know I want to be hitler.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
All those things are like not necessarily saying go out
and hurt somebody.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Although you live here, I want you to know, as mayor,
you're not welcome here. And the day you move out
of the city, but with the day that I launched
a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of
the city, credo.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Is back in style. Welcome to the.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Coming to your doing the way I get talas and
saying you a conscious son.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
The new Sean Hennity Show, more him the scenes, information
on breaking news, and more Bond inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
All right, thank you, Scott Channon, Thanks to all of
you for being with us. Right down are toll free
telephone number you want to be a part of the program.
As eight hundred and ninety four one, Shaan if you
want to join us. This breaking earlier today that Erica Kirk,
the wife of the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk,
has now been chosen to lead the organization as its
(01:33):
next chief executive officer. After seeing so much videos, so many,
so much better, so many videos of both Charlie and
Erica together and the advice they would they would give
young people, relationship advice, and the way these young kids
responded was phenomenal. It's advice that that parents really want
(01:57):
to give their kids, but the kids will roll their
eyes if the parents give it.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Does that make sense, Linda at all?
Speaker 4 (02:03):
It just there's certain times like you know, if the
dad's given them advice, Uh, there it goes. Now, Oh,
dad's given me a lecture again. And I don't try
to lecture my kids. But it just really really deep,
profound advice on how to navigate through relationships, navigate through
their faith and and encourage their journey of faith, navigate
(02:27):
through the issue of drugs and alcohol and and and
what relationships should be about what they should look like,
and offering a very moral message and and it was deep,
and it was it was profound, all right. So the
big news of the day has to do with Jimmy Kimmel.
(02:51):
And there's so much BS out there. And I predicted
last night because the story broke just kind of prior
to me coming on the air, and that ABC, ABC
made this decision. ABC, you know, the same ABC that
fired rose Anbar for a tweet, the same ABC that
fired you know, iconic radio talk shows Bob Grant many
(03:15):
many years ago for a comment that he made on air,
controversial comment that he made that same ABC. But it's
really not the issue that you know that that's only
fundamental in terms of if Jimmy Kimmel had a mass audience,
(03:36):
if Jimmy Kimmel were more successful, and he wasn't by
any objective measure there, he would not be probably not
be in the situation that he's in today, even in
spite of what he said. Now, the first crack that
he made about Charlie Kirk was to mock President Trump's
(03:57):
reaction to Charlie Kirk's assassination. Why would you mock somebody's
reaction to that. It's more like the William mourn for Goldfish. Listen,
this is not how an.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
Adult grieves the murder of somebody called a friend. This
is how a four year old mourns a goldfish.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Okay, Now I do remember, and I don't remember what
medical issue that his own child was going through, and
I remember thinking, I hope that kid's okay, and that's
all I remember, and I remember him getting very teary eyed.
You would think you'd be a little bit more sensitive
when you're talking about a husband and father of two
(04:30):
young children, mister sensitivity. But anyway, then he claimed that
Charlie Kirk's assassin was Maga, which is simply just fake news.
It's just not true.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Get some new lows over the weekend with the Maga
gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie
Kirk as anything other than one of them and do
everything they can to score political points from it.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
All Right, so we you know, ABC made the decision
to pull Jimmy Kimmel Show off the air indefinitely. If
you ask me, I don't think he's ever coming back,
and I don't think many people are gonna care, meaning
not coming back to ABC. There are plenty of platforms
that will be available Jimmy Kimmel if he wants his
his his political commentary because it's not late night comedy,
(05:20):
which is a big part of the problem. A lot
of this decision came after local affiliate station owners like
Next Star in Sinclair. I thought maybe one of the
more more ironic parts of this Sinclair Uh, They're they're
going to do a tribute instead of Jimmy Kimmel, They'll
do a tribute to Charlie Kirk and all of this,
(05:45):
I mean, his comments were just, you know, just typical Kimmel.
He made a lot of disgusting remarks he made, you
know about for example, the you know, why would you
make that remark about President Trump's grief over the assassination.
And I've had my battles with Kimmel over the years,
but not one time did I ever call for Jimmy
(06:07):
Kimmel's firing. At no time that I ever called for
his for his show to be boycotted. I just called
him out for what he is at jackass, and he
to this day he'll be a jackass. If anything, he'll
be on a platform where he can curse a lot
and say anything he wants about anybody until I guess
it crosses the libel line. Then he will be sued
(06:28):
if in fact he does that. But he has spent
so much of his show has become political. And this
is where we this, this is where now we get
into what the real reasons are. And we've all read
about Stephen Colbert's show and what it had two hundred employees,
(06:48):
it was losing forty million dollars a year according to CBS,
and you know, you have to ask hisself, well, why,
you know what happened? These are supposed to be late
night comedy shows. And you know, it's a typical show
you'd expect to see on on fake news CNN or MSDNC,
and you know that it and there's you know, there
(07:11):
was the predictable race. Humpty Dumpty. I thought, Humpty Dumpty.
Didn't he get fired? They hired him back, right, Humpty
Dumpty's back. That was a badness. There's bad hiring decision.
And Gavin Newsom got involved and JB. Pritzker got involved,
and it's it's not what got Jimmy Kimmel fired. I
(07:32):
can't find and I looked, and I looked last night
before the TV show. I can't find a single prominent
conservative voice in the country that wanted you know, except
for people being critical of the show, saying he sucks
and shouldn't be on the air, there's been no effort
to get him removed from from ABC, not one nobody.
(07:57):
I've never, in my whole career have called for anybody,
anybody's show to be canceled, for anybody to be fired.
I've never, once in my life call for a boycott.
I've experienced all these calls against me in my life,
and I'll get to that in a second. But the
show was failing spectacularly. His ratings are even lower than
(08:18):
Stephen Colbert's ratings, which were pretty low, because these are
supposed to be late night comedy shows and they've become
nothing more but a never ending, you know, Trump hate shows,
and that in and of itself is problematic. There's plenty
of that everywhere else on the TV and you know,
(08:41):
all over the legacy media mob. So what's happened is
he had a show that at one point had decent
ratings when he inherited it, and he ran that show
into the ground and as a result, the ratings tanked,
and the ratings have been in the sewer now for
(09:02):
some time. When ratings go that low then revenues they
begin to dry up. In other words, Jimmy Kimmel failed
at his job. He lost a significant portion of the
audience he inherited when he took over that show and
then lost you know, or since he's had the show
and then lost you know, revenue that they had predictably
(09:26):
counted on at ABC Disney. And my understanding is is
most of these station groups they were just fed up this.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
This was like the straw that broke the camel's back.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
They had a show with low ratings that wasn't generating
a lot of revenue, and they didn't want the show anymore,
and so they were putting it on hiatus.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
But in the end it was ABC that made the decision.
Speaker 4 (09:53):
And my understanding is it's probably going to be replaced
with Steve Harvey's Celebrity Family Feud. Steve Harvey's funny Steve
Harvey on that show is funny. That show is more entertaining.
I predict they'll probably have higher ratings with Celebrity Family
Feud than with anything Kimmel was offering. Now, the good part,
(10:14):
if there's any if if Kimmel, who according to reports,
is very angry today, wants any good news, you'll have
an opportunity to be platformed. But it's just not going
to be where he is now. And as Brendan Carr,
he first said it to podcast to Benny Johnson, then
he said it to us last night. Is what people
(10:35):
don't understand is if you're on a broadcast network. If
you're on a broadcast network, it's entirely different than if
you're on a cable channel. And they have a license
that is granted by the FCC, and with that license
comes an obligation to operate in the quote public interest. Now,
(10:56):
the public interest part of that equation has been ignored
for many many years. But a lot of things have
been ignored many many years, and the Trump administration has
decided that they're not going to ignore it anymore. But
I find the other hypocrisy of it is pretty spectacular,
you know, a little odd. We had Barack Obama complaining
(11:17):
that the Trump administration is somehow responsible for getting Jimmy
Kimmeo fired. It's precisely the kind of government coercion The
First Amendment, Obama said, was designed to prevent media companies
need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it. Well,
that makes, you know, a particularly interesting comment, because Roseanne
(11:37):
Barr retweeted that and said that it was Michelle Obama
and Barack Obama that actually called Bob Iger to get
her fired from her top rated ABC show that was
making a ton of money in twenty eighteen, and Obama
personally thanked ABC's Bob Iger for dumping rose Hand. Now,
(11:58):
Obama had been out of the White House little over
a year at the time, but when a network executive
gets a request for a favor from an ex president
and his wife, altha whom a Democratic Party, you know,
icons that executive is going to take note, and they did.
Roseanne said, Michelle Obama's the one that got me fired.
She's the one that called ABC that I had to
(12:20):
go because of my quote racist tweet. Bob Biger who
fired me. That his first phone call was the Valerie
Jarret to apologize to her, and that Michelle Obama also
got a phone call with them, and that Barack Obama
called them afterwards to thank him for firing me. That's
what she said. Look, these broadcast networks I got to
(12:40):
know from a friend of mine. I thought it was
dead on accurate. They've been tone deaf since they shared
this deep psychotic trumpt arrangement syndrome, rage and hatred of
Trump and the political beliefs, and this is their talent.
They failed miserably, and you know, and they lost their
(13:03):
audience in the process. And the political convictions, already misguided,
blinded them to the economics of what the programming was about.
Let me play for you, and this was set after
Colbert was fired by Jay Leno. Let's listen to what
Jay Leno said.
Speaker 6 (13:19):
There was an analysis done of your work on the
Tonight Show for the twenty two years and that your
jokes were roughly equally balanced between going after Republicans and
taking aim at Democrats.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Well, that's strategy. That Well, it was fun to me
when I got hate letters from damns on you and
your Republican friends, who well miss and I hope you
and your Democratic buddies are happy over the same joke,
and I go, well, that's good.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
So that's how you get a whole audience.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
Now you have to be content with half the audience
because you have to give your opinion.
Speaker 6 (13:48):
Well, and it's worth noting that both you and Roddie
Dingerfield experienced and have been experiencing enormous success.
Speaker 8 (13:54):
Right, so your approach worked in the marketplace, Well why
shoot for just half an hour insult right time? You know,
why not try to get the whole? I mean, I
like to bring people into the big picture.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
I don't understand why you would alienate one particular group,
you know, or just don't do it at all. I'm
not saying you have to throw your support or whatever,
but just just do what's funny?
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Why alienate half the country? Now, let's go to the
great Johnny Carson. Johnny Carson was on with Mike Wallace
and this is how that went out.
Speaker 9 (14:28):
Ex sensitive about the fact that people say he'll never
take a serious controversy. Well I have an answer to that.
I said, no, tell me the last time that Jack
Benny red Skeleton Benny comedian use his show to do
serious issues.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
That's not what I'm there for.
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Can't they see that? But you and I do.
Speaker 9 (14:49):
They think that just because you have it tonight's show,
that you must deal in serious issues. It's a danger.
It's a real danger. Once you start that, you start
to get that so important fee what you say has
great import and you know, strangely enough, you could use
that show as a form, you could sway people, and
I don't think you should as an entertainer.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
I don't think you should as an entertainer. These are
supposed to be entertaining shows, and they lost their audience,
they lost their revenue. I do have articles. Thanksweet Baby, James,
I really appreciate you reminding me. Headline the rap fox
News should fire Sean Hannity. Media matters head says uniquely destructive.
Let's see, oh, another article that he thankfully pulled out
(15:32):
of the archives. Well, fox News fires Sean Hannity a
naive and hopeful analysis. These are Sean Hannity's leading advertisers.
I don't remember any liberal caring when I got fired.
And ironically, when Tucker got fired, who was leading the
cheers but Jimmy Kimmel.
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Here's what he said, Fox News has severed bow ties
with Tucker Carlson after all these years.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
They are party ways, which means he was fired. I mean,
that's really what party weighs me. He Tucker couldn't be
reached for comment. He's already on a plane to Moscow
to meet with his manager.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
But what a shock, I mean, what an absolutely delightful shock.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
This is al.
Speaker 5 (16:17):
Tucker can spend more time at home, tanning his testicles
and touching himself to that sexy green M and M. Sadly,
he's probably not done poisoning old people's brains.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
The question now is where will he do it next?
Will he go to O A N? Will he go
to newsbacks?
Speaker 5 (16:31):
Will he crawl back up Satan's fiery b hole from
once he came? We don't know one of the most
despicable mother Tuckers ever to appear on American television.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Oh so, I guess that that gives us free rein
to celebrate his his demise and his firing. Eight hundred
nine four one Shawn. If you want to be a
part of the program, H'm twenty five till the top

You know there is a business aspect too, broadcasting. It's
(18:33):
just an undeniable fact. I think Johnny Carson said it well,
we just played that. I think that Jay Leno said
it well. I think that's one of the reasons their
shows were so infinitely more successful. And as these late
night not funny, supposed to be comedy shows have deteriorated
(18:54):
into basically, you know, mocking, making fun of slandering and
smearing half the country and being obsessed with all things
Donald Trump. You know, this is a predictable outcome if
you go back to the days when Politically Incorrect was
on ABC. The show did well and when it got
(19:17):
canceled because of something that Bill Maher said, I understood
what he was saying. A lot of people didn't like
what he said. You know that the hijackers on nine
to eleven, you know, when somebody said that they were
when the government said they were cowards, he said, no,
I wouldn't use that phrase, meaning that they were insane
(19:38):
killers and they didn't care, and that you know, to
be a killer like that. It just was more nuanced anyway,
you know, the loudest voices that I recall, I can
only speak for myself, but the loudest voice is saying
that ABC shouldn't fire Bill maher with people like Rush
Lombaugh and Mark Levin and Sean Hannity, and there were others,
(20:03):
not that I think he would ever remember, but those
were the voices that said this is ridiculous. But that
didn't stop. In all the years that I've had calls
for boycotts of this show or you know, efforts to
get me fired from this show, or efforts to get
me fired from Fox or boycotted from Fox. In all
those years, I don't remember many liberal ever standing up
(20:27):
for me. When when Joy Reid was about to get
fired because of comments she had made years earlier, I
said that, you know what, she should, you know, be
given a second chance. And I was told later by
an NBC executive True story that I that my commented,
(20:48):
my comments on this played a major role in her
at the time being able to keep her job. And
I don't agree with the single thing she says. But
I don't want to be a part of this cancel culture.
I don't want to call for people's firing. I'm not
calling I didn't call for Jimmy Kimmel's firing, and I
had more fights with Jimmy Kimmel than any conservative that
(21:10):
I can think of. You know, when I used to
spend waste my time on social media, which I don't
really do anymore. But you know, it's it's kind of
like they just they're kind of like Rush used to
call it flyover country. You know, it's they're like flyover
networks driven by their thought minders, you know in California,
(21:31):
New York and DC, and that's who they did their
show for. And you know, and you want to understand
the phenomenon that continues with alternative media like talk radio,
alternative media like new podcasters, alternative media. And I still
believe it's alternative because there's nothing else like it Fox News,
(21:56):
and I will be completing my thirtieth year, if you
can believe it, next month, thanks to all of you.
You know, the growth of these alternatives and all the
online options that are available and social media that is available,
although that is becoming cancerous and toxic in its own right.
And you know, these anonymous people in their basement underwear.
(22:18):
We've seen this since the assassination of Charlie Kirk has
just been horrible and his you know, Kimmel's if you
want to know the truth, I mean, he tried hard
to get fired, even predicted that these shows wouldn't last
because he knew the ratings were in decline, and with
ratings decline comes the predictable revenue decline, which then results
(22:40):
in them canceling shows. That's kind of the way it's
always worked anyways. Can's show will be replaced on Sinclair
Television stations. Their local stations paid to run ABC's Jimmy
Kimmel Liive said that they will refrain from broadcasting Kimmel's
show indefinitely following following his comments that he made about
(23:03):
Kirk's assassination. It didn't detail which stations would air tribute,
but the firm is a portfolio apparently that includes as
many as one hundred and eighty five TV stations around
the country eighty five markets throughout the US affiliated with
different networks ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC, and they said
(23:23):
they will refuse to lift the suspension of Kimmel's show
on its stations until formal discussions are held with ABC
regarding the network's commitment to professionalism and accountability. The broadcaster
also called on Kimmel to issue a direct apology to
the Kirk family. Apparently Jimmy Kimmel went nuclear. According to
(23:45):
The Daily Mail, he's gone absolutely apoplectic. He's gone nuclear
after ABC pulled this show, Insiders telling The Daily Mail
that the late night host is absolutely effing livid that
they canceled his show hours before he was about to
tape and go on the air. The sources revealed he
was holding a crunch meeting with network executives, but it's
(24:08):
keen to break his relationship with with them forever. And
apparently he's already teeing up a short teeing up a
guest slot with acted CBS star Stephen Colbert. One of
his producers said they were wandering around like aimless cows,
adding I've never seen Jimmy this angry. You know, Jimmy
(24:31):
really has nothing else. I just played for you. Jimmy
Kimmel's celebrating when Tucker Crossing got fired. You know, you
really don't have a career in broadcasting if at some
point you don't get fired. I kind of got fired
early in my career. In retrospect, I would argue I
deserved every bit of it because I was stupid. But
everyone else on the station was stupid too. They all
(24:52):
should have been fired. But that's a different issue for
a different day. But anyway, it's the other big netw
work group is next Star. They made their announcement that
they rejected the comments made by mister Kimmel concerning the
killing of Charlie Kirk. A lot of these stations are right,
they're in major markets, but they're not in California, they're
(25:14):
not in DC, and they're not in New York. And
there's a whole other part of the country and if
you look at the electoral map, that part of the
country is red. And to insult all of those people
as on a nightly basis and then see your ratings
deteriorate on a daily basis, you know, should have been
(25:37):
a wake up call for everybody involved.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
In that sense.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
I think you can blame probably network executives for a
lot of what's going on here. But you know, apparently
one article said ABC execs were quote pissing themselves fearing
Trump blowbacky and Kimmel despite thinking he didn't cross the line,
according to one report, And then all these liberals coming
(26:00):
out the systemic destruction of freedom of speech, did they
ever once when any conservative was ever fired, or any
calls for any firing. No, they supported these groups that
organized these boycotts and these these efforts to cancel conservative shows.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
So saved me the lecture. I don't remember, Linda, when.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
They were publishing, without my permission, thousands of my personal
text messages. Did anyone ever stand up for me when
they were boycotting the show? It was the audience that
stood up for me when when carag pulled off the
show and then all these people started destroying their their
(26:40):
Carrig machines in the coolest ways imaginable, hitting them with
baseball bats, dropping them from you know, third floor windows,
and letting them smash.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
How many Carrig machines that I ended up.
Speaker 4 (26:52):
Buying as a result of that, because I ended up
buying if everyone that defended me a thousands, organically, I
bought a thousand.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Of a thousand. Did we get a discount? We did
get a discount.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Ironically, the gentleman who we bought the curate machines from
was a huge Hannity fan. So well, it was the
audience that saved me in that moment, and it was
it was kind of a perilous moment for me, and
it happened organically. I didn't all of a sudden somebody
starts sending me all these videos. I'm like, holy moly,
(27:27):
I couldn't believe it. Rose O'donald predictably melting down. It's
all very predictable behavior, and it's it's it's not the
result of a conservative group of people wanting to get
Jimmy fired. Anyway, we have other news to get to here.
(27:48):
Uh oh. Kamala Harris revealed that her first choice for
VP would have been Pete Buddha Judge, but she decided
she couldn't pick him because he was gay. According to
The Hill, Harris revealed in her upcoming book that Transportation
Secretary pop Hool Pete was her first choice for running mate,
but that he would have proved too risky. Atlantic reported
(28:11):
an excerpt of her book, One hundred and Seven Days,
detailing Harris's assessment that Buddha Judge would have been an
ideal partner if I were a straight white man. But
we were already asking a lot of America to accept
a woman, an African American woman, a black woman married
to a Jewish man, the former Vice President Rope. I mean,
(28:32):
is this all predicated on the belief that they think
the country's bigoted, because if they do, they're wrong. Newly
declassified documents indicate that the congenital liar Adam Schiff. No
shock here, we already knew this and believe this to
be true. Recently declassified twenty seventeen documents link people close
to ex FBI boss James Comy and now Senator Adam
(28:55):
Shift to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed
to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in
league in the league with Russia. According to Real Clear
investigations Paul Sperry and now picked up by The New
York Post. The documents exposed selected Washington reporters, notably The
(29:16):
Washington Post New York Times scored these scoops by repeating false,
inflammatory leaks. We've lived through this, and it's all been debunked,
and it's all getting exposed, and all these people should
be held accountable. Later in the program, we're talking to
our friend Peter Navarro is a new book out. I
went to prison so you won't have to a love
(29:37):
and lawfair story, and Trump Land he didn't have to
go to jail. Way, do you hear his story. It's unbelievable.
Immigration judge in Louisiana ruled the Democratic favorite pro hamas
rabble rouser should be deported to Algeria. Ooopsie Daisy, Oh
God forbid. The funniest thing I think that happened this
(29:58):
week is Kathy Hokle finally gave into the pressure endorsed
Zorn Tommy Marxist Mundani, and then he refused to endorse
her back. I don't know why I thought that was
so funny, but they did think it was funny. President
Trump has designated Antifa a major terrorist organization. I'm not
(30:21):
sure why David Axelrod would be against that, but apparently
he is. That's a little bit shocking. I'm not sure
exactly why, but he was grimly warned Trump that the
designation of the leftist grouped would be used to go
after the president's enemies. It's not really These people are lunatics. Unbelievable,
(30:48):
but you know, people stand by me and believe what
they want to believe. We have a lot of Charlie
Kirk news that I want to get to in the
course of the program today, not the least of which
the edged assassin negotiated his surrender, was afraid of being shot.
And of course Erica is now going to head up
(31:09):
the organizations. He's going to be the new CEO, and
we wish her the best. And it's going to be
a rough weekend. I think the funeral is on Saturday
and then the rally is on Sunday of this week.
An immigration judge in Louisiana's rule Democrats pro amous rabble rouser,
as I said, would go to Algeria. But back to
(31:32):
kirk here for a second. The family of these suspected
assassin should quote lay low. According to the local sheriff,
they need to lay low for a long time. Unfortunately,
Washington County Sheriff Nate Brooksby said to reporters after being
asked about the family of Tyler Robinson. So even I'll
(31:53):
throw this out there. I have a second cousin with
the last name Robinson, who appears to be an optometrist
in town, and you know his office has been receiving
threatening calls.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
People need to stop with this. They need to stop.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
According to a new report on foxnews dot Com, Charlie
Kirks alleged the assassin's roommate was problematic before the family
ended up kicking that person out. There's a lot more
to this story. I'll tell you some things.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
I want to know.
Speaker 4 (32:22):
Was anybody else involved? There are apparently in and around
the area extremist groups that share this assassin's you know,
twisted worldview and even have the word armed in the
name of their organizations, and I want to know that
part of it. I want to know if anybody else
(32:42):
was involved in it. I want to know if he
acted alone. There's just too many unanswered questions here, and
the FBI has got to turn over every stone and
get to the bottom of it. I will have more
on the indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel. I think permanent.
That's my guess. We'll find out what happens. We haven't
(33:04):
seen any reaction. It was ABC that pulled them. Local
stations had had it with his comments after Charlie Kirk's assassination.
Then later in the program, our friend Pete Navarro, his
book is so compelling. I went to prison so you
won't have to a love and law fair story and
drump pland trust me, the Left gets back in power,
(33:25):
they'll come after us all again.
