The Culture War and the First Amendment

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, just a quick update for everybody,
because this is really this whole week and even last week,
since obviously last Wednesday, really has been devoted to Charlie Kirk,
and I think no one deserves it more. And so

(00:20):
tonight Boston, Coooner Country Conservatives, MAGA, in Massachusetts, in New Hampshire,
in Rhode Island, we're going to be mourning Charlie Kirk.
I wish I could be there my ribs. As you know,
I can barely move around the house, but I will
be with all of you in spirit. So there is
a vigil tonight for Charlie Kirk. It starts at seven

(00:44):
o'clock seven pm till ten pm. Now it has been moved.
It was initially going to be at the Boston Common,
the gazebos. It has now been moved to the steps
of the State House, so literally just right across from
Boston Common where we normally have our rallies. And the

(01:04):
reason why it was moved it's actually good news is
there's going to be a very big police presence tonight.
The organizers told me that the Boston Police Department reached
out to them and they said, look, we want to
make sure there's no problems, there's no incidence whatsoever that
those who will be attending this prayer and candlelight a

(01:26):
candlelight vigil will feel absolutely safe. They will be complete security.
So there's going to be a very heavy police presence
for security for people who attend. And they say it's
much easier to provide a real ring of protection and
security if you're going to be at these steps of
the State House. So it has been moved to the

(01:47):
steps of the State House. So please, if you do go,
be aware of that it starts at seven pm sharp,
it will last for about three hours till ten pm.
What I'm urging everybody, please, if there is some crazy
leftist that shows up or some you know, moon bat

(02:07):
and they start yelling, screaming, insulting, saying the most vile,
heinous things, just ignore them. Please do not engage with them.
Keep it peaceful, keep it non violent. Obviously, that's what
Charlie Kirk would have wanted. Charlie was about peace. He

(02:27):
was about open civil discourse and about freedom speech. So
just ign if some of these idiots do show up,
there'll be a lot of police there to begin with,
but just ignore them, don't just like they're not there,
and just go on with the vigil because Charlie deserves it.
And UH to honor and commemorate his memory, and frankly,

(02:50):
to pray not just for him, but for his family,
for his wife, for his children, and really for our country.
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Okay,
remember we talked about this during the height of the
pandemic during COVID. We mentioned Kimmel and the disgusting comments
that he said. But this is from five o'weight and

(03:13):
five oweight is reminding us what Kimmel said during COVID.
And remember what he said, quote, Jeff, remember what Kimmel
said about all of those who didn't want to take
the poisonous mRNA injections the job. I'm basically paraphrasing, but

(03:34):
in one monologue he said, and I remember this, if
an unvaxed person comes to the emergency room with say,
a heart attack, quote, let weezy die in the hallway unquote.
I remember that distinctly, that if you didn't take the

(03:54):
job and suddenly you were brought you know whatever, something
is wrong with you anything, stroke, heart attack, whatever it
may be, and they bring you into the hallway, into
the emergency room, just leave you there to die. As
he put it, I remember, let Wheezy die in the hallway.

(04:15):
That's that's the kind of bile. This is comedy, This
is supposed to be funny. That's the kind of sewage
that came out of Jimmy Kimmel's mouth. And as the
Texter says, he should have been fired for that. Oh yeah,
he should have been fired for god knows how many

(04:35):
things he said six one seven two, six, six, sixty eight,
sixty eight. But you know the expression better late than never. Okay,
this is from Larry on Messenger. Uh. And this is
what Larry writes, Jeff, all these people who are screaming

(04:56):
bloody murder over Jimmy Kimmel being quote unquote canceled are hypocrites.
If they actually watched his show, his ratings wouldn't be
in the crapper. You know, that is a great point.
All these people now that are yelling and screaming.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Jimmy, Jimmy, he's victim of Trump censorship First Amendment.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
If all of you watched him, his ratings wouldn't be
in the toilet. Maybe they wouldn't let him. They wouldn't
have let him go because he'd actually be making the
company money. But anyway, let that go. Larry goes on
to say, Jeff, you're not gonna believe this. The left
is now calling to boycott ABC, Hulu, and Disney. I

(05:48):
find this hysterical. I don't know. Disney may be the
most pro left wing corporation in America. ABC and ABC News.
I don't know if you can get more anti Trump
than them. David Murr, How we rigged the debate against

(06:09):
Trump with Kamala That's ABC News, Stephie, Stephanopolis, Jonathan Carl,
Martha Raddits. Remember just what was it over the weekend,
Matt Gutman. It was the ABC reporter that went on
about the text exchange messages between the Kirk murderer and

(06:30):
his lover boyfriend Slash Furry. Six one seven two six
six sixty eight sixty eight is the number. Okay, my friends,
We're probably going to talk about it later on today's show.
If not, we'll definitely talk about it tomorrow. But lost
in the news of Jimmy Kimmel essentially being fired by

(06:52):
ABC to be accurate. His show has been pulled off
the air, preempted indefinitely. Essentially, his show is finished, and
it was because of the vile things that he said
in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, especially his disgusting
rant so called monologue Monday evening and his refusal to

(07:13):
apologize or retract what he said. However, President Trump last night,
on his way back from the United Kingdom, has now
designated listen to this Antifa finally, finally, yes, baby, he
has designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. So finally,

(07:40):
now Antifa is going to get the domestic terror group treatment.
They are now going to be subject to massive investigations.
There's now gonna be rico rico charges are going to
be filed against those who fund Antifa, their donors e.
George Soros and his son Alex Soros are now in big,

(08:05):
big trouble. Uh. And many Antifa members now are going
to be arrested and they're going to be charged as
domestic terrorists. So that is a massive development. Last night, winning, winning, winning,
That's all I can say. Six one seven two six,
six sixty eight sixty eight. Anthony in New Hampshire. Thanks

(08:30):
for holding Anthony and.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Welcome rest in peace, Charlie. But I gotta say yeah, baby,
bye bye, you scumbag Jeff. I don't know if you
remember your Trump rally that we had in twenty sixteen,
but Kimball blasted me and my kid because I made
the mistake of sitting next to his other scumbag puppet,

(08:53):
cake Bird in the audience, and he made all kinds
of fun of us, and my kid ended up getting
ridiculed and mocked out of school because everybody hated Trump
because of what people like Kimmel said. So I've been
waiting for years for this loser to lose his job,
but everybody keeps on going on about freedom of speech.

(09:15):
And believe me, I do not agree one bit with
what Alex Jones said. But he got sued for billions
of dollars because he said that it was a hoax.
So why can't we sue Jimmy Kimmel for saying that
it's somebody else than who it was, Because it's an active,
ongoing investigation and he's actually interfering in that investigation by

(09:38):
deflecting away from the real people who were involved.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
That's an excellent point. I mean, look at it that way, Anthony,
but that's an excellent point. And he's lying. I mean,
he's just blatantly lying. And what he's doing is again
he's inciting hatred against Trump's supporters by saying we were
the ones responsible, we were the ones behind the you know,
the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which is insane, like literally

(10:05):
it's insane. So according to the Left and idiots like Kimmel,
Maga wants to kill Maga. I mean, this is like,
I mean, it's so stupid it's not even funny. But no,
I want to go back to something that you said earlier, Anthony,
about what he did to you and what he did
to your son, and I remember that, and this is

(10:26):
what I'm saying. This is the kind of man he was.
He was, I mean, just he was scum. This is
no other way he is come, there's no other way
to put it. Consumed with hatred, really just despising anybody
who supported Trump, would do anything in his power to

(10:48):
attack them, vilify them, villainize them, ruin their life. And now,
I mean, call me crazy, Anthony. This is karma. You
know what they say karma. I can't say the word
Karma's a bee. What comes around goes around. And I
think it's it's his hatred, really, the fact that this

(11:09):
guy is so evil and so consumed with hate and
Trump arrangement syndrome. It's his own hatred now that has
brought him down.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
What say you, Anthony, Jeff, they couldn't find anything to
pin on mega Republicans. I don't know one single maga Republican. Yes,
there might be some gay Republicans, but I don't know
one single trans furry lover. No.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
I've never even heard of a Republican that's a transferrairiy lover. Okay,
But they have.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
To insert and insert their actors into our crowds and
ye that we want veterans to die on the streets
because Trump wants to cut medicaid. Okay, they have to
invent stuff, like we're a bunch of racist Not he's
because you know, we support the Second Amendment, Like he

(12:06):
had to invent stuff. And the sad part of all,
Jeff is is the Liberals turned to this guy for
basically their news, like we turned to you for the news.
The difference is that you're just telling us the news.
This guy is in certain comedians and actors and on
the road interviewers to paint the picture that the left

(12:30):
believes is real.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
They believe that about us. Right now, I can't even
talk to my own father because back when the Trump
thing was, when everybody thought.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
He was dead because he didn't speak for like three days,
my father made a post on Facebook saying, I'm waiting
for the big fat obituary. I could tolerate your hatred
for my party, but when you're wishing death upon people,
I'm like, I'm done, Like I don't don't even really

(13:01):
want to hear what you have to say anymore, because
you're stum.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
As much as we.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Disliked Obama, as much as we disliked Hillary, we might
have wanted her locked up for the primes that she committed,
but we didn't want her dead. We didn't want some
psychopath to sniper shoot them dead on the streets. And
I would still feel bad if somebody did that to
Obama or Clinton or any of the other big wigs.

Speaker 4 (13:26):
That are lying have been lying for years about me,
Like you're stick in the head if you wish that,
and I've said it before.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
On your show, there's nothing left for me to unite
with the other side.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Nothing. You can't name anything other than we share the
same flag, and they.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
Hate our flag. The flag that we share they hate.
Very powerful, very eloquent, Anthony. I agree with you one
thousand percent. And look, just to add to what you're
say saying, and that's all I can do is add
to it. Look what they're doing now, even in the
wake of Kirk's murder, his assassination, they're literally making stuff
up about what he said. They're going on about how

(14:13):
he supported slavery. He never supported slavery. What are you
talking about, Or that he apparently supported Jim Crow. He
never supported Jim Crow. And you have that Washington Post
editor and call him this. She got fired for this.
She literally made up a quote, she fabricated it where
she she writes that he says that black women have

(14:36):
smaller brains than white women. He never said that. Six
one seven two, six, six sixty eight sixty eight is
the number. Jimmy Kimmel bites the dust News broke late
last night. Disney ABC are now pulling his show. It's
going to be preempted permanently and definitely. According to The

(15:00):
New York Post and The Daily Mail. They are now
saying that producers agents close to Kimmel say their words,
he is quote blanking livid. Kimmel now refused to apologize
or retract what he said about the shooter, saying it
was a maga shooter, a Trump, a Trump supporter who

(15:22):
assassinated and killed Charlie Kirk in a vile monologue Monday
evening mocking the assassination of Kirk and for this men's blowback,
tremendous backlash, ABC Next Star and ultimately Disney said it's
time to cut him. Loose your reaction good move, bad move?

(15:47):
And what do you say now to the argument being
made by the left, liberals and the entire Democratic media,
including the Democratic Party, actually that this firing of Kimmel
is a fundamental assault and violation of the First Amendment.
As Van Jones on CNN put it, a red line

(16:09):
has been crossed, has it? Julie in Boston, thanks for
holding Julie, and welcome.

Speaker 6 (16:19):
I just I find this whole thing ironic with Jimmy
Kimmel's high, holy moral attitude, and he supposedly espouses the
belief of the Democratic Party. When he got his start
on TV with the Men's Show and women jumping in
bikinis on trampoline.

Speaker 7 (16:39):
And the song that he and Sarah Silverman did with
Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. But yet he supposedly is
the one we're supposed to listen to him believe.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
Well, you're dead on, Julie. And just to add, remember
he's the one that the basketball player Karl Malone he
imitated him, and he mocked him, and he put on blackface.
You know, he put is it? He put what is
it marked?

Speaker 7 (17:10):
You know?

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Uh, colored his face black and started to try to
talk like a black guy. And he made like thick lips.
And I mean, you know, you want to talk about
a racist, nakedly racist skit, and I mean this that's
Jimmy Kimmel, that's Kimmel and this guy, you know, And
I mean when I say he made money, you would

(17:32):
and the guy was never funny, He never had talent.
I agree with Trump completely. Trump weighed in on this
even in the United Kingdom at two in the morning
there he weighed in saying, finally, what took ABC so long?
This guy has no talent whatsoever? And this guy for
how many years now? And we're talking fifteen twenty twenty

(17:54):
five million dollars a year because he was a Hollywood
leftist and he did their bidding. And now he finally
crossed the red line. He finally said something that's so
beyond the pale that they finally had to cut him loose.
But Julie made no mistake about it. And I promise

(18:14):
I'll give you the final word. If he was making
them money, if he had good ratings, if this guy
had him in the black and not in the red,
they still would have stuck with him. I'm telling you,
they would have stuck with him. His ultimate crime in
their eyes, And this is what's really sick, is not

(18:35):
that he mocked the assassination of an American man, an
innocent American, a father, a husband, a son, never mind
a conservative icon and civil rights leader. But his real
sin is that they were looking to cut this guy
loose for years because the ratings were so bad and

(19:00):
there was no revenue, so they were losing money with
this guy. As I said, hand over fist to me.
And by the way, that's the same for ABC News
or all the other news divisions. They lose them so
much money because they've alienated so many of their viewers. That,
by the way, is same thing with late night comedy

(19:22):
Jimmy Fallon, who's still on the air, and I think
he's next. Okay, Jimmy Fallon has terrible ratings. Seth Meyers
the other clown. He's got terrible ratings. Colbar has horrible ratings,
and Jimmy Kimmel was the worst. His ratings were lower
than their ratings. That's what you know. Trump made that

(19:45):
point on his truth social post. He said, you know
how bad Kimmel was, He goes Colbear's ratings were nothing
and this guy was less than nothing. And you're gonna
pay him twenty million dollars a year. And by the way,
as someone said, he doesn't write his own jokes, I'm like,

(20:05):
what are you paying him for? He's just a pitch man,
so he doesn't write his own jokes. He's got a team,
so his people write him the material, They script everything
for him. All he's got to do is come on
and just deliver his lines. And you're paying him twenty
million dollars a year And what really, what did he

(20:27):
say that? I'm not kidding. Rachel mad Cow on MSNBC
wouldn't say, or Larry Stop the hammering O'Donnell or any
mouthpiece on CNN. In other words, I'm watching him to
what I can watch the DNC. I don't need to
watch this guy. So I'm listening to a crazy, hateful leftist,

(20:51):
a political fanatic, every night spew how much he can't
stand Trump supporters. And that's all he does is just
mock us and hate us, and mock us and hate us.
And now he mocked the murder of an innocent man
and he's running around claiming he's the victim. Julie, how

(21:15):
this guy ever rose is beyond me. But honestly, there's
finally justice and this guy is gone. Final word to you.

Speaker 6 (21:25):
I can honestly say I have never watched any of
the night shows that you mentioned, and I'm proud to
say that, because they're all discussing and hateful people.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
Julie, if I'm getting too personal, please tell me. Did
you ever watch Johnny Carson or Jay Leno or David Letterman.
I'm just curious.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
I thought Johnny Carson was hysterical. Yes, I watched him.
I would watch Jay Leno. It just it seemed like
we got away from comedy. And that's the whole issue.
Is some was all about making you laugh. These late
night hosts are all about pushing their agenda and the

(22:07):
democratic agenda. It's not about fun and light heartedness anymore.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
You hit the nail right on the head, right on
the head. Julie, thank you very much for that call.
I grew up watching Carson. I mean not every night,
but I mean I watched him quite often. I thought
he was hilarious, and as Julie put it, it was fun.
It was lighthearted, and yeah, he'd make the occasional political joke,

(22:34):
but it was in good It was in good fun,
you know, and it was both sides, and it was like,
you know, one or two jokes and that's it. It's
not monologue after monologue after monologue after monologue, angry, yelling, screaming, shouting,
literally foaming out the mouth. And then I just didn't

(22:56):
think Jay Leno was as good as Johnny Carson. He
was to me, almost like a poor man's Carson. But
even then, I gotta say he could be funny. At times.
It still was, you know, kind of lighthearted. I thought
Letterman was worse than Leno, But even then I would
watch it occasionally and sometimes I would chuckle or laugh,

(23:17):
but I didn't notice it was declining. But then after that,
I'm like, this is just like watching Chuck Schumer do
a late night show. No really, or Jasmine Crockett or
AOC or Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren, Jimmy Kimmel. I'm
telling you, was like watching Bernie or Elizabeth Warren with

(23:37):
the late night show. Like I'm like, where's the comedy,
where's the comedy. It's just Republicans, evil Trump, Hitler and
his supporter's Nazis, and it's like hate them, hate them,
hate them, hate them. Okay, see you tomorrow. Bye. And

(23:57):
if you get paid twenty million dollars for this, ye
six one. Now, if you delivered ratings, I say, well, okay,
he's got the ratings. You couldn't even deliver that. Victor
in Georgetown. Thanks for holding Victor, and welcome.

Speaker 8 (24:16):
Toner Man. Great show as usual. And I just want
to say Kimmel and Cobert swim with the fishes and
good riddance to them. Uh just a side comment before
I make my point. Respectfully, I hear people say always
transitioning from a male to female, which is impossible. What's

(24:39):
really happening is they're transitioning away from being a male,
which is a big difference because arguing that transitioning from
a male to a female goes along with the narratives
that the left and the uh you know there would
be you know whatever they call themselves, Burris or whatever.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
It's well, no, you're making an excellent point. No, you're right.
It's it implies that he can reach the point of
being a female, which he can't. I mean, it's it's
impossible he can't. So you're right. So you know, we
can say quote transitioning. I guess you know, I like
transgender boyfriend slash furry personally. But no, you're you're dead on, Victor.

(25:26):
You're completely right. Uh, Victor, let me ask you about Kimmel.
They're making such a big deal about it. I'm gonna
play a cut from Schumer. Uh, just because it's it's
it's embodying what the how the left is reacting to this.
But they're they're going after ABC. They're saying Trump is
behind all this. He forced the firing of Kimmel. Kimmel

(25:49):
got fired for speaking truth to power because he opposed
Trump and the Trump administration, the Trump regime. Uh, and
that this is a really a violation, an abrogation of
the First Amendment. That the First Amendment has now been
shut down. It is dead according to the left.

Speaker 8 (26:09):
What say you, well, like like Van Jones, you just
can't believe these people. They're communists, you know, and Van
Jones is a self admitted communist. So I say that,
you know, on the record, on his record, I don't
buy into the argument. Here's here's what I think is
really happening. ABC and Disney and better In and I

(26:36):
think they've they've read the tea leaves and they know
this next election is going further to the right. There's
going to be less left control that they, you know,
have enjoyed for the last fifty years. And they are
making adjustments. And you were right, Jeff when you said
Kimbo should have known, Hey, this bombs going off everywhere,

(26:59):
maybe I should be paying attention. No, he just stepped
on it, and it gave them the right to get
rid of him. They're getting rid of these people because
they don't work anymore. American people, because the people like
you and a lot of the podcasters are waking up
and they're not listening to this dribble anymore. They're sick

(27:20):
and tired of you know, them arguing the arguments that
they do, not that the people's lives improved. Notice that
their arguments are never anything to improve the working man's life.
And the working man has finally woken up and saying
I hate this, I hate the direction that the country

(27:41):
is going. And ABC and NBC and CBS are making
their shifting gears because they know that they're going to
get run over if they don't start adjusting to the
American people. And it's thanks to people like you, Jeff, Oh,
thank you, and.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I think you had I think you nailed it. I
really do. You can see and I said this after
the assassination of Kirk. I said this, you can see
it's pardon the pun, but it is a turning point
like his group turning point USA. And something fundamentally has
been transformed and changed in the country, and something snapped

(28:19):
in Middle America. You can just see that we're not
going to take it anymore. What people are doing now
is what I've been asking people to do for ten years.
Speak out, like really speak out. And now office depots
firing people, universities are firing people, hospitals are firing people,

(28:40):
schools and and you know, are firing people because there's
so much pushback. And that's what brought Kimmel down. There
was such massive pushback. And look, I got to say
this about Greg guttfeldt I don't watch late night comedy
at all. I haven't been oh Man at least twenty
five years. Okay, I never watched the show of Jimmy Kimmel.

(29:00):
I just would have clips for you know, when I
would do show prep, but I never actually watched the show.
I have no interest. I don't watch Greg Guttfeld. Nothing
personal against the guy. I just I don't have time.
I'm always show prepping, especially at that time of night.
I'm up show prepping. So I just I don't watch
late night comedy. But the thing that shocked me about

(29:20):
Gutfeld is here's a guy who's not a professional comedian.
He's very funny, but he's not a professional comedian. Who's
on a cable network, cable. He's not on CBS, ABC, NBC,
you know Fox as in Fox the Big Channel, not
Fox News. So he's not on all of these affiliates

(29:45):
and stations across the entire country. You don't get cable,
you don't have satellite TV. If you don't subscribe, you're
not gonna get Fox News. And he was annihilating, I
mean slaughtering Kimmel, Colbert fell In, all of them in

(30:05):
the ratings. He was destroying them. And I'm like, to me,
as a professional, if I'm a comedian, a late night comedian,
I'm like, hold on, let me get this straight. I've
got all these stations around the country carrying me, and
this guy on Fox News at ten o'clock at night

(30:28):
is destroying me in the ratings, slaughtering me, like we
got to pick up our game. Hey, come on, this
is ridiculous nothing. And then the other point that gut
Felt made, and I think he was completely right that
it was so stupid on the part of Kimmel. I mean,

(30:48):
read the room. People are getting fired now, left, right
and center. The country will not tolerate making light of murder.
The country will not tolerate comparing Trump's supporters to Nazis.
The country will not tolerate celebrating or mocking or gloating
over an assassination. It's costing careers everywhere, and you go

(31:15):
and do it days and days after we knew who
the shooter was or is days and days after we
knew exactly what his motive is. I mean, it's screams transgender,
radical left wing terrorism. I mean, I don't know how
much you have the bullets. You have his own words,

(31:38):
you have the engravings on the bullets. You have his
own parents, his own relatives, his own family members. Hell,
you've got his own confession. And you still hate us
so freaking much. You're so blinded by your hate that
you go on national television and knowingly, law knowingly lie.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
And say, Maga struck again, this was a Maga shooting,
a Maga killing. There was Maga who shot him, a
Mega guy.

Speaker 1 (32:14):
You're freaking sick in the head, man like you're delusional,
You're sick, You're mentally ill. There's something that's not right.
And that's when ABC said, cut this guy loose. I mean, seriously,
what are we keeping him for to continue to lose money.
We're gonna have zero people watching us. And that's when
they said bye bye, and think about it. ABC was

(32:38):
faced with a choice either we lose our broadcast license,
which means the whole thing goes caput, we go bankrupt,
or we keep Kim along well it's it's a no brainer.
Jimmy or our license. Jimmy or our license. Now I'm
gonna go with the license. Victor. Thank you very much

(32:58):
for that call. No. Look, the zeitgeist, it's a great
German word. The overall culture, the cultural vibe, the cultural
dynamics have now completely changed. You can see that the
left is on defense and they know it because now
they've been unmasked, and it wasn't I really want to
