Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Donkey.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I'm a Democrat, so being Donky of the day is
a little bit of a mixed but like a donkey
the other day, bitch you Now, I've been.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Called a lot of my twenty three years.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
That donkey of the day is.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
A new one.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yes, Donkey Today for Thursday, September eighteenth, goes to ABC. Now,
if you haven't heard, ABC announced that it's pulling Jimmy
Kimmel Live off air indefinitely. This comes after threats from
the chairman of the FCC to the stations that carry
the show and supposed backlash to comments Jimmy Kimmel made
this week about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Now,
(00:41):
I'm gonna be honest with you, I didn't even hear
anything about these comments until yesterday when they suspended Jimmy
Kimmel indefinitely. Can we go to CBS News for report please.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
ABC have suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late night show indefinitely over
comments that he made on his show Monday night about
Charlie Kirk's death.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's new lows over the weekend with the Magga Gang
desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk
as anything other than one of them, and everything they
can to score political points from it.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
The suspension comes after Next Star announced that its ABC
affiliates would preempt Jimmy Kimmel Live. Next Star called the
comments quote offensive and insensitive at a critical time in
our national political discourse. A spokesperson for ABC said quote
Jimmy Kimmellive will be preempted indefinitely. Today. Federal Communications Commissioned
(01:36):
Chair Brendan Carr blasted Kimmel's remarks and said the FCC
has quote remedies it could look at. Next Star currently
has a major merger before the Trump administration for its
proposed acquisition of Tegna. Jimmy Kimmel has not commented.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Now if from understanding this right, people are upset because
he's implying that the shooter was mad. Understandable. I haven't
seen anywhere with a guy identifies as Maga, But to me,
that should be neither here nor there. What's the difference
between Jimmy KIMMEO saying the shooter was Maga and all
those folks on the right assuming the killer Tyler Robinson
was a raging left lunatic. Okay, it's the same exact
(02:18):
energy and exactly why partisan politics have no place in
an institution like the FCC, Because if someone on the
right gets on Fox, Dues or any of these conservative
platforms and blames the left before the shooter is even caught,
the FCC says nothing. Okay, they were talking heads on
all the news platforms blaming the left, and nobody said anything,
but Jimmy Kimmeo comes out, makes the statement he makes
(02:40):
about the murderer being one of them, and I put
one of them in their quotes, and ABC suspends them.
ABC is taken out a page of Paramount's book and
just kissing the ring. Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I know.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Nextstar Media Group owns a bunch of ABC affiliates, and
they are in the middle of a six point two
billion dollar merger with media company Tegna, and they will
need the FCC's approval of the merger. It's the same
exact play as sky Dancing Paramount. I know all that
this is going on, but could you at least try
to make it a little less obvious. I mean, FCC
(03:11):
Chairman Brendan Carr was on Bennie Johnson's podcast, and he
literally threatened federal action against ABC affiliates who carried the
show listen.
Speaker 5 (03:19):
Should they have a license granted by us at the FCC,
and that comes with it an obligation to operate in
the public interest. And we can get into some ways
that we've been trying to reinvigorate the public interest in
some changes that we've seen. But Frankly, when you see
stuff like this, I mean, look, we can do this
the easy way or the hard way. These companies can
find ways to change conduct, to take action frankly on
(03:43):
Kimmel or you know, there's gonna be additional work for
the FCC ahead.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You know, for an administration that doesn't like being labeled authoritarian,
they damn show do a lot of authoritarian things. Okay,
serious question, y'all are saying you're doing this in defense
of Charlie Kirk. Do you really believe Charlie Kirk, who
went on college campuses all the time, debating people of
all walks of life, that was his thing to do
you really believe he would support you canceling people for
(04:11):
exercising their free speech. Of course he wouldn't, but you
all aren't doing this because you're supporting Charlie Kirk. You
are using the death of Charlie Kirk to push your
own political agendas. It's actually disgusting.
Speaker 4 (04:22):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
If you cared about Charlie Kirk for real, and you
were the Christians you claim to be, and I put
Christians in their quotes too, Okay, if you were the
Christians you claim to be, you would be looking at
the signs God is trying to show you, and the
signs God is trying to show you is having real
discussions about gun violence, real discussions about common sense gun
reform in this country. I said this last week and
(04:44):
I will say it again. I am too a all day,
but I'm also for common sense gun reform. Charlie Kirk said,
are his words, a certain amount of gun depths are
worth it to have to right to bear arms? I
ask a simple question in the name of the debate,
Jolly Kirk champions, is it worth it when the gun
deaf is you? Is it worth it when the gun
(05:05):
deaf is someone you love? MAGA Conservatives, why are you
avoiding that conversation? Why are you avoiding that debate? Okay?
Charlie Kirk got murdered while he was discussing gun violence.
If that's not a sign from a higher power that
maybe we should be having a conversation about gun violence
and commisants gun reform, then I don't know what is Okay, Maga,
(05:26):
I am disappointed in you. Okay. When did y'all become
such snowflakes?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
You were the anti cancel culture party, the party of
free speech. Okay, you hated the woke left, and now
y'all the party that needs some sleep. Okay, how do
you not recognize your own hypocrisy in this situation? Salutor,
My guy Andrew Shoultz he posted something this morning I
totally agree with. He said, the left will say fascism
(05:52):
is wrong unless you kill one of our political opponents,
then we'll celebrate it. The right will say cancel culture
is wrong unless you canceled it shows of our political opponents,
then we'll celebrate it. That is absolutely accurate of where
we are as a country. And as my guy Ted
Ryan used to always say, you have a right, you
(06:12):
have a left. But most of us are in the
exhausted majority. Okay, we tired, Okay, we are tired of
the partisan politics because while Dems and Republicans and positions
of power and government do petty little things like this
to each other. The people suffer, and networks like ABC.
I don't understand how you expect to get taken serious
(06:33):
when you bend the knee to an authoritarian strategy. You
already paid Trump fifteen million because of the defamation suit
he filed against George Stephalopolis. Why hepepen out the name stuff?
You know what I'm talking about. You know what I'm
talking about. Okay, snuffle upfagus. Now you're suspending Jimmy Kimmel
in definitely because he made comments about Charlie Kirk when
(06:56):
you know the real reason you suspended him is because
you need the FCC to approve this merger between Nextstar
Media Group and Tagna. Listen man, People who aren't proponents
of free speech don't want a dialogue. They want a
dictatorship of their own ideas. But the way I'm watching
all these media companies and institutions bowed down to the
Trump administration, I'm convinced America just wants a dictatorship. Period.
(07:20):
Please let bring me mag give ABC the biggest e
hull he ha he ha, You stupid mother, Are you dumb?
