Speaker 1 (00:00):
Six, twenty two, our time here in Houston's morning news. Right,
Tim Graham is with this executive editor of MRC Newsbuster.
So it's not just Jimmy Kimmel. Huh. Now we've got
this podcast done by a couple of couple of clowns
that work for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper, who are
also making the claim that the Utah shooter was a conservative.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
It is crazy. It's crazy on its face. Why would
a Trump fan shoot Charlie Kirk?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
They wouldn't, so, I mean.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, I mean it's sort of like, you know, Dorothy
strangled the scarecrow.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
What exactly? Well, yeah, clearly they're playing to a certain audience.
Do they believe somehow deep inside that the propaganda that
they're trying to give us works.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well, that's it's rather shameless. It's shameless, it's reckless, and
it's dramatically insensitive. You know, half of the country is
morning this, at least half the country. You know, this
is sadly the way that these stories develop. We start
by being shocked and horrified by it, and after about
(01:14):
forty eight hours, then suddenly it becomes well, you're lying
about it. You know, why would you lie about it.
I mean, it's but you know, this is the whole
problem is that it became obvious pretty clearly once they
nabbed the shooter and he has bullet casings that say
catch this fascist or whatever. Everybody could figure out where
(01:35):
this guy was coming from. And yet these people are
utterly in denial. They're either sort of in this confusing
middle where they're like, well, we don't know, we have
no idea, we haven't figured out yet what he is
when it's quite obvious. And then of course when they
had this press conference and really lay it out, which
(01:56):
should be obvious to everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
And you would have thought the tran's boyfriend have been
enough to make you go, Okay, I can't really get
away with lying about this. Dude's got a trans boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well, and then you know, we had this bizarre thing
where ABC's Matt Gutman said it was very touching the
text he spent, yeah, and he sort of turned it
into a romance novel of I Must Protect You My love.
Charlie Kirk wasn't threatening anyone's life. You know. It's just
the way that these people take an event that was
(02:29):
so shocking and send it into some crazy kaleidoscope. I
just don't get it.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Well, I don't pretend to get it either, but it
continues to him, and it obviously it will continue. The
thing I find interesting is sort of the progression on
the progressive far left here they've gone from, you know before,
especially in the mainstream media, if they didn't like something,
they just wouldn't report it. I guess this story was
so big they couldn't figure out how they just wouldn't
report it.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Well, and in the case of kim being suspended, it
sort of fits the kind of story they love because
this is the way they're doing it. It's not Jimmy
Kimmel shamelessly lies. It's Donald Trump fired Jimmy Kimmel. That's
the way that they've created it. And so they're going
to talk about this. They're obsessing, the cable networks are
(03:19):
obsessing over this, like Jimmy Kimmel was murdered. It's really bizarre,
but they all have this self righteous thing about, oh,
the authoritarian playbook, fascism descends, and when you give them
grist for that, they're going to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Twenty four to seven, Well, and they're all worried about
their own jobs But at the end of the day,
it really wasn't ABC Disney that fired Jimmy Kimmel. It
was the affiliates. There was a mass exodus of affiliates
who said we're not going to air this show. They
weren't given the choice. If there hadn't been this big
affiliate of mutiny, if you will, I don't know that
ABC Disney would have done a dog one thing about it.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Right, because he's been doing this for ten years now.
You know, as our president David Bozell mentioned yesterday, the
real firing offense could have been him saying during COVID
that if there's any problem about who to admit at
the emergency room, the vaccinated can come right in and
the unvaccinated can go die. See a wheezy. You know,
(04:27):
that's the kind of statement that should be beyond the pale.
But you know, ABC didn't touch himn I mean, you're right, obviously,
when a big chunk of stations, the next Star stations
and the Sinclair stations say we're not going to air
this crap anymore, they didn't really have much of a choice.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Yeah, you're right about that. Pleasure to talk to you, Tim,
Thanks for your time. This morning, I sure do appreciate it.
