Why is Hollywood furious when Jimmy Kimmel is censored, but silent when Roseanne Barr is fired? This week’s podcast exposes the double standards and selective outrage dominating the entertainment world. When Kimmel’s show was pulled for comments about Charlie Kirk, media elites suddenly became free speech warriors—where was that energy before? The boundaries between comedy, commentary, and harmful rhetoric have never been more confusing, and it’s clear that who gets protected depends on which side they’re on. It’s time we demand consistent standards and stop letting political tribalism decide who can speak and who gets silenced. Where do you think the line should be drawn?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let him play for a second.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh guys, it's Friday, thank God.
It's been a long and crazy week, and if you're on ABC which
really is the acronym for AlwaysBe Kirsten Trump it just seems
to be Jimmy Kimmel and ABC seemto be reeling right now, after a
week of all of this nonsense.
What do you mean?
Jimmy Kimmel and ABC seem to belike reeling right now, after a
week of all of this nonsense.
(00:27):
What do you mean?
Jimmy Kimmel can't make a joke.
What do you mean that it was soegregious.
What do you mean?
Where's free speech?
Fascinating, though, how theleft, when someone finally calls
them out on their bullshit,they freak out.
When punishment is laid down,when you are accountable for
(00:50):
your words, you can't hidebehind all of a sudden.
Oh, this is free speech, I cando whatever I want, but yet you
can't.
On the other side, it's anamazing thing.
What an amazing Friday.
Welcome back everybody to theRent Network.
My name is David Solomon, he isStuart Briscoe.
We are the Rent Network.
Every Monday, wednesday, friday, noon Eastern, we broadcast
this thing called the RentNetwork, where we bring you our
(01:10):
opinions, our angles, our lovefor what's going on out there.
So unapologetic it's actuallynot even funny.
Um, in the past I would havesaid we were starting.
You know we do all.
We have these conversationsthat are, yeah, really generally
in hushed tones but recentlystarting to come out more and
(01:32):
more, including this topic.
So sit back, ladies andgentlemen, as we go through the
friday rant start.
You know rosanne bar, who gotfired by the same ABC network
because she made a comment thatwas viewed as racist.
(01:53):
It wasn't, I mean, I don'tthink that Usain Bolt ran faster
than ABC firing Roseanne Barrat the time and her co-stars all
wanted to wipe their hands ofher.
No one wanted to be near herbecause she was like toxic waste
.
But along comes Jimmy Kimmel,who makes an egregious comment,
(02:17):
crosses definitely an ethicalline, gets fired and suddenly
it's not acceptable.
Stuart, I don't know about you,but I'm good with the move you.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I am so happy we brought this topic up.
Let's start here.
David, you're sitting next toBilly Bob, who's an Admitted
murderer.
Do you have to Change chairs?
Next to Billy Bob, who's anadmitted murderer, do you have
to change chairs, is it?
Or do you have to stay in thechair?
(02:52):
Is more like the question.
Or do you think maybe it'sprudent that you find another
seat because cannibal lector isgoing to eat you for lunch?
You don't have to sit next tocannibal lector or Billy Bob the
murderer.
And if you work for my company,david, and you decide to say
death to Israel, death to Jews,I don't have to employ you and
(03:18):
you don't have a right to beemployed by me.
Now, why am I using suchextreme examples?
Because Jimmy Kimmel works forABC Network and affiliates like
Nextar decide to go and say wewill no longer broadcast this
show because we really don'tlike what he's saying.
(03:41):
There's no free speech.
That's a right for me not tohave to broadcast your nonsense.
If you want to walk around andsay death to Israel, does that
mean I have the right to punchyou in the face?
The answer is no, though I mayfeel that way, but the answer is
no.
(04:01):
Now, if the guy that's runningaround death to Israel spits in
your face, well, that'sconsidered battery and that guy
needs to go to jail.
There are certain key notes inlaw and I'm not a lawyer giving
legal advice that the press andthe left-wing media seem to have
(04:21):
forgotten.
You can't yell fire in a movietheater and not expect to get
arrested, which is exactly whatJimmy Kimmel has done.
He has made really horriblestatements about a very tender
topic, and the networks thatbroadcast ABC around the United
(04:43):
States said we will not allowthis anymore.
So Jimmy Kimmel has been takenoff the air indefinitely because
of his remarks about killingconservatives.
Right now, I could say to leavethe whole friggin, you know
crazy squad, who has beencalling them fascists, like
(05:08):
Kimmel does as well.
What is a fascist?
David Solomon, can you tell mewhat a fascist is?
What?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
A fascist is an extreme Right-wing individual.
Where are you going with this?
Speaker 1 (05:23):
No, that's not what a fascist is.
In fact, a fascist is a personwho believes to support fascism
is far right, authoritarianism,unilateralism, political
ideology.
The term is progressively usedfor the certain group called the
third right.
In fact, that's where the wordfascist has most commonly been
(05:47):
denounced and used for, andfascism is the plurality of that
word.
Why am I bringing this up?
Because the far right isn'twhat necessarily you could
describe fascism.
In fact, fascism is more likethe far left.
If you don't believe what Ibelieve, you must be killed.
(06:09):
If you don't say what I say,you must be stricken from the
record.
If you don't do as I do and getin line, you will be taken out.
So I think fascism bestdescribes the Democrats, which
is what we've ranted about overthe last several years, and I
want to be honest with you,david.
Remember we said the democratslike to project.
(06:31):
They have.
Donald trump is a russiancollusion.
He's an involved.
Really.
You know, hillary clinton was,you know.
It seems that they constantlywant to telegraph their own
actions onto their competitorright.
So is Charlie Kirk a saint?
Probably not.
(06:51):
Did he say some things thatwere wrong?
Probably Did people have theright to say nasty things.
I don't like you, yes, butwhere you start going off.
The deep end is I don't have tobroadcast your nonsense.
You don't have the right toforce me to put you on the air.
(07:12):
You don't have to force me toemploy you because you're crazy
and I don't like the way youtalk, walk and say things.
I have the right not to haveyou work here any longer and
represent my company.
Now, david, why am I talkingabout all these things?
Like in a bubble?
Because Charlie Kirk was shotand rounds were fine.
(07:42):
Catch this fascist, david.
You're a Jew.
When I say fascist fascism,what comes to mind?
It's the worst of the worst, butit's the worst of the worst for
us, okay, but it's the worst ofthe worst period.
It's extreme, extremeauthoritarianism, military and
(08:05):
and violence that that preventspopulace to be what it wants to
be.
I'm sorry, fascism, socialism,communism.
I'm sorry, the five isms.
You know Marx wrote a good book, five isms.
I mean it's a good book.
It tells you what it is.
You have people moving tounited states.
(08:25):
You have those immigrants thatare coming here that the
democrats want are coming out offascist, communist, socialist
countries.
You're in canada, david.
It's a socialist country.
How's your healthcare?
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Stuart, I'm trying to figure out the relevance and
where you're going with this.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Because I'm trying to draw the relevance that when
you go up and say something,there's consequences, and the
consequences are on both sides.
When you want something and youwant to say it as a political
puppet and want to get paid $11million to do so to $25 million
(09:08):
and I don't want to pay you todo it anymore that is not
freedom of speech.
You know.
Free speech, fair speech, hatespeech, there's, there's
definitions.
The left that is communistic,socialistic, fascist in nature,
(09:28):
wants you to believe otherwise,as well as which I'm going to
tell you which our next fewrants are going to probably lean
into how the left is now tryingto take antifa and say they are
angels yeah, I'm trying tofigure out where you what you
did today, because we're here totalk about jimmy kimmel and, in
(09:49):
your typical fashion, you justbrought in.
I'm like you made it all madeit's about the left trying to
support him.
Here's where I think you'redoing it Censorship, fascism.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
All right, all right, all right, all right, all right
, I heard you.
I heard you.
Let me try to make this reallysimple.
You love to bring in theDemocrats.
Everything is the Democrats'fault.
Let's slow down for just asecond, because I really could
care less about the Democrats.
Everything's the Democrats'fault.
Let's slow down for just asecond, because I really could
care less about the Democrats.
I could care less about whatthey have to say, because
they're just political animalsand they just want to get voted
(10:24):
in.
I don't really care.
You know, what's fascinating tome is to hear how Hollywood
reacts, you know, because thisis one of them.
And again, it's a question ofwell, what?
What a comedian can't make ajoke.
Well, I want to ask you aquestion.
You know, why are thereguidelines in terms of what a
joke is?
Where's you know if?
If I look at mel brooks in the1970s and I brought him to today
(10:47):
, you would tell me that's badtaste and mel brooks should be
fired.
Okay, but when jimmy kimmelmakes the following statement,
we hit some new lows over theweekend with the maga gang
desperately trying tocharacterize this kid who
murdered Charlie Kirk asanything other than one of them.
That's not a joke.
He said it was a joke.
It wasn't a joke.
(11:12):
Who, instead of taking the highroad and talking about the fact
that Erica Kirk is a widow,their two children are now
fatherless what is that?
No, let's go talk about MAGA.
What is once again Jimmy Kimmel, seth Meyers, stephen Colbert?
(11:35):
They have such freaking Trumpderangement syndrome.
It's not even funny that forclose to 10 years, they have
alienated 50% more than morethan 50, more than 50% of their
viewers because they decidedthat the only thing that's funny
is ripping Trump.
They now the sad.
What people don't realize isthat, because there's this lack
(11:59):
of faith in the news, people aregoing to these places and other
comedy areas to get their newsand if Kimmel says it and
Colbert says it, and Meyer saysit, it's got to be fact.
People unfortunately don't havethe common sense to believe
that they're trying to be funny.
(12:20):
But this isn't funny, nope.
And ABC didn't make thedecision.
A Texas-based TV stationdecided this is now crossing the
line.
Kimmel's crossed the line waytoo many times, nope.
And they said we are no longergoing to broadcast.
And ABC took its sweet time tosay you know, if we're going to
(12:41):
get this kind of reaction, maybewe shouldn't be broadcasting.
Kimmel Guys, the message issimple you have no fucking
decency.
All you've done right now isberate the right incessantly.
You stewart.
Do you use the word fascist?
Their words like dictator,authoritarian, all these types
(13:01):
of things that are being said?
And they have been hidingthemselves behind this.
You know this belief that theyare protected by the
Constitution.
It's free speech.
I can be funny.
I can be funny.
No, no, no, stuart, stuart,come on.
Their attitude is I can befunny and say whatever I want.
I am covered by free speech andyou can't.
You are accountable for yourwords, and if Roseanne Barr
(13:25):
could get fired in thenanosecond that she did, so can
Kimmel.
And to sit there today and say,wow, free speech is under
attack.
Now I know Donald Trump gets onAir Force One, takes a victory
lap, threatens otherbroadcasters to comply and stop
being so mean to him.
Ninety-seven percent of Americatrusts him.
(13:47):
There's a lot of nonsensethat's coming out of the Trump
camp, as usual, but what heshould have said was we have to
stop being biased.
We have to stop with this.
You can't hide yourself behindthis bs and believe it.
(14:08):
You could say and do whateveryou want.
Words, if words matter, stewart, and this is something that I'm
shocked you didn't bring up.
The left keeps telling you thatwords matter.
Words hurt.
Words are painful.
People don't want to bedemeaned, except if you're a
conservative, except if you'reon the right.
Stewart.
(14:28):
Today, university campuses arestill denying conservatives from
going on to campus to speak yep, and I think, I think that's
going to be a very quick changeoh well, but it's.
They're still protesting thatconservatives should be banned
from coming to campuses.
Denial of free speech.
You have left-wing morons whoare posting online and we talked
(14:54):
about this the other day, onMonday that they're posting
online and they say I have aright to tell you that
conservatives should be killed.
Great that Charlie Kirk is dead.
And they're saying why can't Ikeep my job?
You can't play both sides.
The rules have to apply on bothends and Jimmy Kimmel got the
(15:16):
butt end of this one.
I don't want to talk about thefact that Kimmel's rating sucked
and he cost ABC a ton of money,just like Colbert did.
It's not the reason he gotfired although if it is great,
like that's the abc's, you knoweconomic decision but the man
crossed the line.
And again and again and again,it's okay for the left to say
whatever they want because it'sfree speech, but the moment one
(15:40):
of them crosses the line, theycry.
And why did?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
you just convoluted a statement.
I need to give it clarity,because you wanted to say
something.
I think you screwed it up,david.
What you want to say is youhave the right to say I'm happy
charlie kirk's dead, but thatdoesn't mean you have the right
to stay employed and represent acompany.
You see, there's two thingshere.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's more than what you know.
No, no, you see, if you would,no, no, no, let me, let me, let
me.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You could say I don't like Charlie Kirk, but she
can't go and say that I have toemploy you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Now it goes further than that.
I'm going one step further.
Ok, I'm not about employment,it's about freaking decency.
It's about being.
You know you talk about word.
You know you hear again andagain.
You see these Senate hearings,you see all of these things.
Kash Patel said it perfectlyYou're trying to get your 10
(16:38):
second soundbite to post onsocial media.
The left has no desire foranything other than chaos and
other than to destroyconservatives.
They're on that mission andthis is example.
I'm sorry to Christie Brinkleyand Henry Winkler and all the
(16:59):
rest of the artists who arepissed off today because they
think that their free speech isat risk.
Your free speech was always atrisk, always at risk when you
crossed the line that you put in.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Hang on a second, but that's free speech.
No, David, you're confusing theissue.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I am not confusing If you would have listened to what
I just said.
If you will listen to what Ijust said, because you tend to
jump on me here.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
No, I don't.
I'm trying to say that you'resaying something and it's not
coming out right.
Henry Winkler has the right tosay I don't like David Solomon
because he's got a goatee.
That's great.
But let me tell you somethingDavid Solomon doesn't have to
continue to employ henry winklerbecause he said that henry
(17:49):
winkler has no right what arethey upset about?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
they're upset about the party, they're not.
Once again, once again, let meget the point across without you
deciding what my words are.
My words are not aboutemployment.
You said that.
That.
That was your statement.
My statement is the left putrules down.
The left has decided that theseare the rules that if Roseanne
(18:15):
Barr crosses this line, or anyother performer crosses this
line, you're fired.
They said it.
And the moment one of themcrosses the line, no, no, no
free speech.
That's what I'm talking about.
There's no, there isn't the.
There is a double standard, andyou've said it too many times.
You know rules for me and notfor the.
(18:36):
The left wants it their way.
They get to move the pondswherever they want.
They get to change the ruleswhenever they want.
You and I can't.
You and I will get the doublestandard every single time.
If this was a right-wingconservative standing there and
(18:58):
making a comment that KamalaHarris or something along the
lines, if someone would havegone up on stage and talked
about Nancy Pelosi's husband theway that Kimmel did, that the
guy who went out and struckPelosi's husband was a crazy,
loony lefty they would have gonenuts.
(19:20):
They would have fired everybody.
But here it doesn't work thatway, David.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I got a funny one for you.
David, watch this.
Jimmy Kimmel, catch this.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Oh, that's hilarious.
On that note, ladies andgentlemen, as Stuart shows us
his high degree of maturity, wewant to finish this week.
We're done.
See you Monday.
Let him play for a second.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Oh guys, it's Friday, thank God.
It's been a long and crazy week, and if you're on ABC which

You know, what's fascinating tome is to hear how Hollywood
reacts, you know, because thisis one of them.
And again, it's a question ofwell, what?
What a comedian can't make ajoke.
Well, I want to ask you aquestion.
You know, why are thereguidelines in terms of what a
joke is?
Where's you know if?
If I look at mel brooks in the1970s and I brought him to today
(10:47):
, you would tell me that's badtaste and mel brooks should be
fired.
Okay, but when jimmy kimmelmakes the following statement,
we hit some new lows over theweekend with the maga gang
desperately trying tocharacterize this kid who
murdered Charlie Kirk asanything other than one of them.
That's not a joke.
He said it was a joke.
It wasn't a joke.
(11:12):
Who, instead of taking the highroad and talking about the fact
that Erica Kirk is a widow,their two children are now
fatherless what is that?
No, let's go talk about MAGA.
What is once again Jimmy Kimmel, seth Meyers, stephen Colbert?
(11:35):
They have such freaking Trumpderangement syndrome.
It's not even funny that forclose to 10 years, they have
alienated 50% more than morethan 50, more than 50% of their
viewers because they decidedthat the only thing that's funny
is ripping Trump.
They now the sad.
What people don't realize isthat, because there's this lack
(11:59):
of faith in the news, people aregoing to these places and other
comedy areas to get their newsand if Kimmel says it and
Colbert says it, and Meyer saysit, it's got to be fact.
People unfortunately don't havethe common sense to believe
that they're trying to be funny.
(12:20):
But this isn't funny, nope.
And ABC didn't make thedecision.
A Texas-based TV stationdecided this is now crossing the
line.
Kimmel's crossed the line waytoo many times, nope.
And they said we are no longergoing to broadcast.
And ABC took its sweet time tosay you know, if we're going to
(12:41):
get this kind of reaction, maybewe shouldn't be broadcasting.
Kimmel Guys, the message issimple you have no fucking
decency.
All you've done right now isberate the right incessantly.
You stewart.
Do you use the word fascist?
Their words like dictator,authoritarian, all these types
(13:01):
of things that are being said?
And they have been hidingthemselves behind this.
You know this belief that theyare protected by the
Constitution.
It's free speech.
I can be funny.
I can be funny.
No, no, no, stuart, stuart,come on.
Their attitude is I can befunny and say whatever I want.
I am covered by free speech andyou can't.
You are accountable for yourwords, and if Roseanne Barr
(13:25):
could get fired in thenanosecond that she did, so can
Kimmel.
And to sit there today and say,wow, free speech is under
attack.
Now I know Donald Trump gets onAir Force One, takes a victory
lap, threatens otherbroadcasters to comply and stop
being so mean to him.
Ninety-seven percent of Americatrusts him.
(13:47):
There's a lot of nonsensethat's coming out of the Trump
camp, as usual, but what heshould have said was we have to
stop being biased.
We have to stop with this.
You can't hide yourself behindthis bs and believe it.
(14:08):
You could say and do whateveryou want.
Words, if words matter, stewart, and this is something that I'm
shocked you didn't bring up.
The left keeps telling you thatwords matter.
Words hurt.
Words are painful.
People don't want to bedemeaned, except if you're a
conservative, except if you'reon the right.
Stewart.
(14:28):
Today, university campuses arestill denying conservatives from
going on to campus to speak yep, and I think, I think that's
going to be a very quick changeoh well, but it's.
They're still protesting thatconservatives should be banned
from coming to campuses.
Denial of free speech.
You have left-wing morons whoare posting online and we talked
(14:54):
about this the other day, onMonday that they're posting
online and they say I have aright to tell you that
conservatives should be killed.
Great that Charlie Kirk is dead.
And they're saying why can't Ikeep my job?
You can't play both sides.
The rules have to apply on bothends and Jimmy Kimmel got the
(15:16):
butt end of this one.
I don't want to talk about thefact that Kimmel's rating sucked
and he cost ABC a ton of money,just like Colbert did.
It's not the reason he gotfired although if it is great,
like that's the abc's, you knoweconomic decision but the man
crossed the line.
And again and again and again,it's okay for the left to say
whatever they want because it'sfree speech, but the moment one
(15:40):
of them crosses the line, theycry.
And why did?
Speaker 1 (15:44):
you just convoluted a statement.
I need to give it clarity,because you wanted to say
something.
I think you screwed it up,david.
What you want to say is youhave the right to say I'm happy
charlie kirk's dead, but thatdoesn't mean you have the right
to stay employed and represent acompany.
You see, there's two thingshere.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
It's more than what you know.
No, no, you see, if you would,no, no, no, let me, let me, let
me.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You could say I don't like Charlie Kirk, but she
can't go and say that I have toemploy you.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Now it goes further than that.
I'm going one step further.
Ok, I'm not about employment,it's about freaking decency.
It's about being.
You know you talk about word.
You know you hear again andagain.
You see these Senate hearings,you see all of these things.
Kash Patel said it perfectlyYou're trying to get your 10
(16:38):
second soundbite to post onsocial media.
The left has no desire foranything other than chaos and
other than to destroyconservatives.
They're on that mission andthis is example.
I'm sorry to Christie Brinkleyand Henry Winkler and all the
(16:59):
rest of the artists who arepissed off today because they
think that their free speech isat risk.
Your free speech was always atrisk, always at risk when you
crossed the line that you put in.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Hang on a second, but that's free speech.
No, David, you're confusing theissue.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
I am not confusing If you would have listened to what
I just said.
If you will listen to what Ijust said, because you tend to
jump on me here.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
No, I don't.
I'm trying to say that you'resaying something and it's not
coming out right.
Henry Winkler has the right tosay I don't like David Solomon
because he's got a goatee.
That's great.
But let me tell you somethingDavid Solomon doesn't have to
continue to employ henry winklerbecause he said that henry
(17:49):
winkler has no right what arethey upset about?
Speaker 2 (17:52):
they're upset about the party, they're not.
Once again, once again, let meget the point across without you
deciding what my words are.
My words are not aboutemployment.
You said that.
That.
That was your statement.
My statement is the left putrules down.
The left has decided that theseare the rules that if Roseanne
(18:15):
Barr crosses this line, or anyother performer crosses this
line, you're fired.
They said it.
And the moment one of themcrosses the line, no, no, no
free speech.
That's what I'm talking about.
There's no, there isn't the.
There is a double standard, andyou've said it too many times.
You know rules for me and notfor the.
(18:36):
The left wants it their way.
They get to move the pondswherever they want.
They get to change the ruleswhenever they want.
You and I can't.
You and I will get the doublestandard every single time.
If this was a right-wingconservative standing there and
(18:58):
making a comment that KamalaHarris or something along the
lines, if someone would havegone up on stage and talked
about Nancy Pelosi's husband theway that Kimmel did, that the
guy who went out and struckPelosi's husband was a crazy,
loony lefty they would have gonenuts.
(19:20):
They would have fired everybody.
But here it doesn't work thatway, David.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I got a funny one for you.
David, watch this.
Jimmy Kimmel, catch this.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Oh, that's hilarious.
On that note, ladies andgentlemen, as Stuart shows us
his high degree of maturity, wewant to finish this week.
We're done.
See you Monday.
