Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is Red Pilled America. You're listening to Red Pilled
America's fam Bogie. This is part two and we're talking
about Jimmy Kimmel and his indefinite suspension. Is it going
to last? Well, when we left you, guys, we talked
(00:25):
about the news hitting the fan, so to speak, where
Chris Hayes over at MSNBC announced this earth shattering news. Well,
of course the legacy media went bonkers. You have every
left leaning politician basically elbowing their way to the microphone
(00:48):
to say that we are now living in a fascist America,
basically using the same language that this murderer of Charlie
Kirk used. Here's a quick compilation of this outrage.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Talk about what was the comment that got Jimmy Kimmel
in trouble. It was not about the murder. It was
about he was criticizing. He was mocking the president and
the president's political movement MAGA.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
So what we have.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Here is the administration cracking down on someone for criticizing them.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
He's such a liar, that's tubin. The guy that basically
got suspended, also suspended, by the way, from masturbating on
a zoom call. Okay, he's on CNN and he's spewing
more lies, which.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Is much worse than the government cracking down for some
sort of offensive conduct relating to good taste. This is
about criticism of the administration.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Then Van Jones calls into CNN and he is basically
arguing that hate speech is not against the law. I
means actually against everything that the left has been arguing
over the the last ten years, but that basically there's
no laws against hate speech. Hate speech is speech, which
has been a conservative argument for forever since that term
(02:13):
has been used. And he calls in saying that this
is just an existential attack on free speech.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
This is a redline that have been crossed for our industry,
for the First Amendment, for the right of people to speak.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
There was nothing.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Hateful about what was said, and even hateful speech is protected.
This this is not acceptable.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Well, the job should be to speak truth to power,
even when there are people who don't like the word
truth anymore.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Brian, just to take one issue your interpretation. But Kimmel said,
I think is the one that Brendan Carr had and
the one that the individuals next are have. But what
he said specifically was quote the Maga gang is desperately
trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as
anything other than one of them, and doing everything they
can to score political points from it that can be read.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
And so.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
They don't play. They don't play the segment. They all
just reading the text. They don't see the way that
he delivers it. He clearly is saying that the shooter
was a MAGA person. But of course they're kind of
getting off of that. So you had Jake Tapper coming forward,
you had Brian Stelter, the other propagandist over at CNN,
(03:26):
you had all of the people over on MSNBC, you
had panel discussions about this. Now it's as if these
guys don't live in the age of the Internet, because
here is a montage of them constantly asking for censorship
and mocking those that got canceled in previous years.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
You shouldn't be banned from one platform and not others
if you for providing misinformation out there.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
There's no guarantee of free speech on misinformation or hate speech,
and especially around our democracy.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
There are Americans who are engaged in this kind of
propaganda and whether they should be civilly or even in
some cases criminally charged. Is something that would be a
better deterrent.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
If people go to only one source, and the source
they go to is sick and as an agenda, and
they're putting out disinformation. Our First Amendment stands as a
major block. It's really hard to govern today. This is
a matter of corporate responsibility.
Speaker 6 (04:35):
Twitter should be held accountable and shut down that site.
Speaker 8 (04:38):
It is a matter of safety and corporate accountability.
Speaker 9 (04:40):
The First Amendment is not absolute. It does not protect
any single thing anyone says, and there are limits and
that's important. And what this committee has been trying to
do for the last year and a half is to
chill the federal government from monitoring what is going on
on social media.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
When you look at what Tucker Carlson and some of
these other folks on Fox do, it is very very
clearly incitement of violence, very clearly incitement of violence. I
believe that when it comes to broadcast television like Fox News,
these are subject to federal law, federal regulation in terms
(05:22):
of what's allowed on air and what isn't.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
So there you have it. You have a bunch of
liberalsfts lefties, far lefties arguing for censorship, arguing for the
government to crack down on misinformation on broadcast television, saying
that there are regulations that prohibit that certain kinds of
(05:44):
information being distributed. She was talking about Fox News. Fox
News is on cable. That's a completely different thing. They
aren't using public airwaves. But ABC News and ABC and
CBS and NBC do. Why are they freaking out right now?
Because it's so clear the hypocrisy here. It's so clear
(06:05):
that over the course of the last ten years, they've
loved cancel culture, quote unquote cancel culture. They've loved the
idea of being able to shut up their opponents, and
they've had a monopoly on that, and they want to
continue that monopoly. And now you have a legitimate position.
(06:28):
You cannot go on the public airwaves and spew deliberately
spew false information about a major event like this. You
can't do that. And this is not the same thing
as free speech. Jimmy Kimmel can go and talk anywhere
that he'd liked to talk. He can go and create
his own podcast. He can go create a YouTube channel
(06:49):
like we just did. Go to YouTube and subscribe to
our show. He can go to any of these platforms
that aren't part of the public spectrum and talk. Nobody
is taking away his free speech. He does not have
a right to have a late night television show. He
does not have the right to use the public airwaves
to spew false information to the public. It's as simple
(07:13):
as that. This is consequence culture. It's not cancel culture.
He is basically reaping the consequences of the information that
he pumped out there to the public, deliberately telling an
untruth to the public, and maligning a family that is
going through a horrific mourning right now. Okay, he's facing
(07:38):
the consequences of his actions. It's just as simple as that.
It is very clear that this is not cancel culture.
In the cancel culture that we've been talking about over
the course of the last ten years, what is cancel culture.
Cancel culture is somebody like Shane gillis getting hired for
SNL and then people not wanting him to be hired
(08:00):
on SNL, so they dig through all of his pots,
they dig through all of his tweets, They find a
tweet that's going to or a joke that's going to
kind of be off color, and then they bring it
out to the surface for the main purpose of getting
that man fired. It wasn't something that just happened right then.
It wasn't something that happened live. We were not in
(08:20):
the wake of some comments that he made. No, this
is deliberately digging through all of this stuff to find
him saying something that's off color. That's going to scare SML.
It is going onto a college campus and being shouted
down in your and fires being started to stop you
(08:41):
speaking on college campuses. That is what we see as
cancel culture being debanked. It's being debanked exactly what.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Owen Benjamin exactly now he was canceled. It's it's not
wanting people to be able to make a living, not
able to have a bank account, not able to get
a credit card, not able to support their family. That's
cancel culture.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
One percent. They want to monopoly on canceling. It's that simple.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And now the fact that that the Trump administration is
has some balls right now in the wake of this
Charlie Kirk horrific event, they're saying enough is enough. So Tapper,
Jake Tapper has a theory behind what is happening with
this event, and it's actually a pretty interesting theory. I'll
(09:29):
give them credit for that. We're going to talk about
that right after the break. We're listening to Red Pill
America's fam Boogey. Go check out our new YouTube version
of Red Pilled America. Of all of our audio documentary series,
we are going to be slowly making them into video versions.
(09:51):
Go over to YouTube. You'll see the link in the
show description of this show, So just go over there
subscribe to it. We're trying to make moves into the
video space. So we're continuing with this this Jake excuse me,
with this Jimmy Kimmel suspension, and Jake Tapper has a
theory and I think he's onto something here as to
(10:14):
why these affiliates, these local affiliates chose now to kind
of make this move against the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show.
And here's his theory.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
So how do we make sense of the fact that
late night host Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely lost his show because
of comments he made Monday night in which he said
that the Maga gang was really trying hard to prove
that Charlie Kirk's assassin was not one of theirs, so
that they could score political points that's what he said. Well,
(10:48):
follow the money. In August, next Star, the largest owner
of TV station's local TV stations in the country, announced
that they wanted to purchase their rival Tegna for more
than six billion dollars. Now, in order for that deal
to go through, Next Star would need the approval of
the Federal Communications Commission, and in fact, they would need
the FCC to lift the cap thirty nine percent cap
(11:13):
that the SCC has, which is a rule that states
no company can own enough TV stations to reach more
than thirty nine percent of the households in the United States,
and this deal going through would violate that cap. The
current chair of the FCC, Brandon carr, he earlier this
year said that he would be willing to entertain lifting
(11:35):
what he called arcane artificial limits on how many TV
stations anyone company can own. Okay, so that's where we are,
Next Star wanting to get the FCC's approval, the SEC
Commissioner making it clear that his mind is open. Today Wednesday,
the FCC Commissioner goes on a podcast, a MAGA podcaster,
(11:56):
and makes it very clear that he did not like
the comments that Jimmy Kimmel made on Monday night, he
calls Kimmel talent list, and then he says.
Speaker 10 (12:05):
So, I think again, Disney needs to see some change here.
But the individual licensed stations that are taking their content,
it's time for them to step up and say this,
you know, garbage to the extent that that's what comes
down the pipe in the future. Isn't something that we
think serves the needs of our local communities. But this
sort of status quo is obviously not acceptable where we are.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
So he's calling on local TV stations to reject the
Jimmy Kimmel show that was posted on Twitter or x
at one oh one pm Wednesday. Within hours, Next Star
makes the announcement that the companies owned and partnered television
stations affiliated with ABC will preempt Jimmy Kimmel because they
(12:46):
object to recent comments made by Kimmel, and then shortly
after that, ABC Television Network announced that they were suspending
Kimmel's show. And so, while there are no doubt people
who are legitimately offended by what Kimmel said, and no
doubt tensions are high and feelings are fraud, there is
also a lot of money to be made, and there
are also a lot of people who want to endear
(13:08):
themselves to the FCC commissioner and President Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So that's Jimmy Kimmel's theory about why the show got
suspended is because basically there was a merger happening. There's
money associated with that merger that needed to happen. They
were afraid of the Trump administration, that the Trump administration
might crack down on that merger, and so hence the
show got suspended. The problem with it is is one
(13:34):
Sinclair also came forward, which is not a part of
a merger that said they were also preempting the show.
And secondly, and probably more importantly, The Wall Street Journal
has reported that Jimmy Kimmel planned to address the controversy
on his Wednesday night show, but that the Disney executives
that met with him to talk with him about the
(13:56):
show learned what he was going to say, that he
was basically going to double down on blaming me, and
so they decided he's going to be throwing fuel on
the fire and they decided from that point to pull
the show. So this entire theory of oh, well, the
Trump administration is going to be heavy handed and they're gonna,
(14:18):
you know, cut off free speech, and this is fascism
in play. What it was actually happening here is that
Jimmy Kimmel was going to double down on a false
statement and blame MAGA again for being the killer of
Charlie Kirk, and the Disney executive said, no, we can't
(14:39):
do this. This is going to make it worse, and
so we are going to suspend this show. Jimmy Kimmel
has been in broadcasting for decades. He should know better.
He should understand the public interest mandate that his network
has when he's putting on his show. He should also
know that his affiliate, that their affiliates are also trying
(15:01):
to make a merger, and and that maybe it's not
smart to lie to your public and try to pin
a horrific assassination on the followers of the person that
was assassinated. That's called consequences, dude, That is called consequences,
and you are reaping them right now now.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
We're finally seeing some you know, people are being held
accountable for what they're saying on the left. And I
think it's great. I think it's long long overdue, you know, And.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
We can go through and show, you know, video clips
of Jimmy Kimmel celebrating Tucker Carlson's firing. We can show
video clips or play audio of him basically cheering on
Roseanne's cancelation. And this has been something that has been
going on for these people to now try to make
(15:53):
the argument that this is some existential threat that has
just happened. This has been happening now for a decade.
Tim Allen's show was canceled. We saw Anthony Kumilla for
saying something on Twitter that was completely not even on
the air of Sirius. His show got canceled. Roseanne bar
(16:13):
got kicked off of her show for basically putting tweets
on that about Valerie Jarrett that were deemed as racist.
You had Gina Carano, You had Megan Kelly. Megan Kelly
was accused of a blackface controversy. She got fired. Tucker
Carlson got fired. Shane Gillis, as we said earlier, got fired,
James Woods was dropped by his management. And then you
(16:36):
had Sam Hyde, you had Owen Benjamin, you had I mean,
the list goes on and on. Josh Danny lost his show.
He had a show, a cooking show on one of
these networks. The list goes on and on, and this
is something that we have been dealing with now for
fifteen years, this cancel culture, and now they're trying to
make it seem like it's some brand new phenomenon. It
(17:00):
is infuriating and I am loving it. And I want
to once again give Benny Johnson props for bringing this
issue to the four. This has been an amazing work
of media influencers, conservative media influencers bringing this issue to
the forour Benny Johnson being the man that did that,
(17:22):
and I want to applaud him for doing that, because
this has to stop. We need a functioning media ecosystem.
It is the reason why it is the first amendment
in the Constitution. It's an important thing to be able
to argue both sides of a topic and find solutions.
It's what made America special. But we cannot allow these
(17:46):
public airwaves to be polluted with deliberate lies by somebody
like Jimmy Kimmel. And this is just the tip of
the iceberg. This man has been lying week after week
with It was the COVID stuff where he was basically
telling people that if you didn't get a vaccine, you
should basically die you should be the last people to
(18:06):
get a surgery. That basically people that with vaccines should
have priority to go into the to get medical operations.
The guy has been spewing the Russia Gate stuff for
years and years on end. Well, now it's being discussed
that maybe the View, which is also spewing week after
(18:28):
week after week false information into the public airwaves. Well
now there's some discussion of maybe needing to investigate the View.
This is the FCC Chairman Brendan Carr going on with
Jennings the CNN, the one guy that everybody loves at CNN,
Scott Jennings podcast, speaking about the View.
Speaker 11 (18:49):
Jimmy Fallon and Seth Minor at NBC, just wondering do
you have comments on those shows and are they doing
what Kimmel did Monday Night? And is it even worse
on those programs in your opinion?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, you can be unfunny, that's fine, And a lot
of people are sort of saying that, Well, people are
punishing Kimmel because they don't like a joke that he told.
But you know, we don't need to rehash it here valously.
What he said was not a joke. It wasn't presented
at all that way. But when you look at these
other TV shows, what's interesting is the SEC does have
a rule called the equal opportunity rule, which means, for instance,
(19:25):
if you're in the rubs to an election, you have
one you partisan elected official on, you have to give
equal time, equal opportunity to the opposing partisan politician. So far,
so good. But there's an exception to that rule, all
the bonafide news exception, which means, if you are a
bonafide news program, you don't have to abide by the
equal opportunity rule. And over the years, the SEC has
(19:48):
developed a body of case law on that, and its
suggested that most of these late night shows other than
SNL are bonified news programs and potential I would assume
you can make the argument that the View is a
bonified news show, but I'm not so sure about that,
and I think it's worthwhile to have the SCC look
into whether the View and some of the programs that you
(20:10):
have still qualify as bonifi news programs and therefore exempt
from the equal opportunity regime that Congress is.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Put in place.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So it looks like maybe the View is also going
to be feeling some pressure. Let's say, and don't listen
for a second anybody that tries to claim that this
is some unprecedented thing or that this is some new development.
You had Brian Stelter calling up cable networks trying to
get Fox News removed. You had Obama malign a YouTuber
(20:46):
in the wake of the Benghazi attack, trying to claim
that a YouTuber's video inspired violence that cause the invasion
of the Benghazi embassy, the American embassy in Benghazi. That
YouTuber ended up going to jail, and then it ended
up finding out that that was complete bogus. It was
something that had been planned for quite some time. Obama
(21:09):
threw a man in jail to cover their tracks and
to cover their mistake that they made in Benghazi. That
has no comparison to what is happening right now. What
is happening right now is is you have Jimmy Kimmel
lying to the public about a huge, massively horrendous event,
and now he's reaping the consequences. What we're seeing happen
(21:33):
right now is Hollywood starting to slowly lose its grip.
There was news that came out relatively recently that Disney
now is looking for shows that appeal to males. They've
put out all of these female superhero type of shows
that have flopped left and right. They have lost a
huge portion of their audience. You can only for so long,
(21:55):
for so many years, throw money into a fire pit.
You can only do that for so long, and at
some point you need to start making money. And so
you have Hollywood now seeing that they need to start
appealing to a broader audience. So there's a loosening of
this grip happening right now. And what we're seeing right
now is an exorcism. We're seeing an exorcism happening right
(22:18):
in front of our eyes. You saw it in the
wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, all of these people
filming themselves and willingly putting those videos, laughing and dancing
on Charlie Kirk's grave. It's just a horrible display. Horrible
it's and you're seeing demons being exercised right now. And
(22:40):
this is what you're seeing right now, this loss of
control that all of these media figures on the left
who had a complete control, a complete monopoly on cancel culture.
They had a complete monopoly on the storytelling industry, and
it's slowly they're starting to see, wait a minute, we
don't have as much control as we thought we had.
That's why it is so important right now for us
(23:03):
to go on offense and to start having our stories
out there. The technology is there, we just need the
will to do it. We have a once in a
lifetime opportunity right now. We cannot let Charlie Kirk die
in vain. Everything that this man stood for in regards
to open dialogue, in regards to speaking to the other side,
(23:27):
we have an opportunity right now to extend his message
into areas that we couldn't possibly have been dreamt of
on September ninth. Take the opportunity right now to convince
people to get into storytelling, Convince them to get into screenwriting,
Convince them to make films, Convince them to go into
the arts. If they show a skill set in that area.
(23:49):
Now is the time to start doing those things because
this country needs to be healed, and I think in
the wake of this Charlie Kirk assassination, we're going to
start seeing some healing happen. That's it for this week's
episode of fam Boogie. Please go check out our YouTube channel.
(24:13):
There'll be a link in the show notes and we'll
have a new episode coming up soon of Red Pilled America.
Keep your eyes out right now. We are running the
Nixon series. It's our most talked about series, so of
spread the word on that because it tends to bring
some people in. It's a great series that we have.
I think is one of our best. Until next time,
enjoy your guys' weekend, and let's say of America one
(24:35):
story of the time. Guys.
Speaker 7 (24:37):
Hi, everyone,
This is Red Pilled America. You're listening to Red Pilled

They don't play. They don't play the segment. They all

they've had a monopoly on that, and they want to
continue that monopoly. And now you have a legitimate position.
(06:28):
You cannot go on the public airwaves and spew deliberately
spew false information about a major event like this. You
can't do that. And this is not the same thing
as free speech. Jimmy Kimmel can go and talk anywhere
that he'd liked to talk. He can go and create
his own podcast. He can go create a YouTube channel
(06:49):
like we just did. Go to YouTube and subscribe to
our show. He can go to any of these platforms
that aren't part of the public spectrum and talk. Nobody
is taking away his free speech. He does not have
a right to have a late night television show. He
does not have the right to use the public airwaves
to spew false information to the public. It's as simple
(07:13):
as that. This is consequence culture. It's not cancel culture.
He is basically reaping the consequences of the information that
he pumped out there to the public, deliberately telling an
untruth to the public, and maligning a family that is
going through a horrific mourning right now. Okay, he's facing
(07:38):
the consequences of his actions. It's just as simple as that.
It is very clear that this is not cancel culture.
In the cancel culture that we've been talking about over
the course of the last ten years, what is cancel culture.
Cancel culture is somebody like Shane gillis getting hired for
SNL and then people not wanting him to be hired
(08:00):
on SNL, so they dig through all of his pots,
they dig through all of his tweets, They find a
tweet that's going to or a joke that's going to
kind of be off color, and then they bring it
out to the surface for the main purpose of getting
that man fired. It wasn't something that just happened right then.
It wasn't something that happened live. We were not in
(08:20):
the wake of some comments that he made. No, this
is deliberately digging through all of this stuff to find
him saying something that's off color. That's going to scare SML.
It is going onto a college campus and being shouted
down in your and fires being started to stop you
(08:41):
speaking on college campuses. That is what we see as
cancel culture being debanked. It's being debanked exactly what.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
Owen Benjamin exactly now he was canceled. It's it's not
wanting people to be able to make a living, not
able to have a bank account, not able to get
a credit card, not able to support their family. That's
cancel culture.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
One percent. They want to monopoly on canceling. It's that simple.
Speaker 7 (09:07):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And now the fact that that the Trump administration is
has some balls right now in the wake of this
Charlie Kirk horrific event, they're saying enough is enough. So Tapper,
Jake Tapper has a theory behind what is happening with
this event, and it's actually a pretty interesting theory. I'll
(09:29):
give them credit for that. We're going to talk about
that right after the break. We're listening to Red Pill
America's fam Boogey. Go check out our new YouTube version
of Red Pilled America. Of all of our audio documentary series,
we are going to be slowly making them into video versions.
(09:51):
Go over to YouTube. You'll see the link in the
show description of this show, So just go over there
subscribe to it. We're trying to make moves into the
video space. So we're continuing with this this Jake excuse me,
with this Jimmy Kimmel suspension, and Jake Tapper has a
theory and I think he's onto something here as to
(10:14):
why these affiliates, these local affiliates chose now to kind
of make this move against the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show.
And here's his theory.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
So how do we make sense of the fact that
late night host Jimmy Kimmel indefinitely lost his show because
of comments he made Monday night in which he said
that the Maga gang was really trying hard to prove
that Charlie Kirk's assassin was not one of theirs, so
that they could score political points that's what he said. Well,
(10:48):
follow the money. In August, next Star, the largest owner
of TV station's local TV stations in the country, announced
that they wanted to purchase their rival Tegna for more
than six billion dollars. Now, in order for that deal
to go through, Next Star would need the approval of
the Federal Communications Commission, and in fact, they would need
the FCC to lift the cap thirty nine percent cap
(11:13):
that the SCC has, which is a rule that states
no company can own enough TV stations to reach more
than thirty nine percent of the households in the United States,
and this deal going through would violate that cap. The
current chair of the FCC, Brandon carr, he earlier this
year said that he would be willing to entertain lifting
(11:35):
what he called arcane artificial limits on how many TV
stations anyone company can own. Okay, so that's where we are,
Next Star wanting to get the FCC's approval, the SEC
Commissioner making it clear that his mind is open. Today Wednesday,
the FCC Commissioner goes on a podcast, a MAGA podcaster,
(11:56):
and makes it very clear that he did not like
the comments that Jimmy Kimmel made on Monday night, he
calls Kimmel talent list, and then he says.
Speaker 10 (12:05):
So, I think again, Disney needs to see some change here.
But the individual licensed stations that are taking their content,
it's time for them to step up and say this,
you know, garbage to the extent that that's what comes
down the pipe in the future. Isn't something that we
think serves the needs of our local communities. But this
sort of status quo is obviously not acceptable where we are.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
So he's calling on local TV stations to reject the
Jimmy Kimmel show that was posted on Twitter or x
at one oh one pm Wednesday. Within hours, Next Star
makes the announcement that the companies owned and partnered television
stations affiliated with ABC will preempt Jimmy Kimmel because they
(12:46):
object to recent comments made by Kimmel, and then shortly
after that, ABC Television Network announced that they were suspending
Kimmel's show. And so, while there are no doubt people
who are legitimately offended by what Kimmel said, and no
doubt tensions are high and feelings are fraud, there is
also a lot of money to be made, and there
are also a lot of people who want to endear
(13:08):
themselves to the FCC commissioner and President Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
So that's Jimmy Kimmel's theory about why the show got
suspended is because basically there was a merger happening. There's
money associated with that merger that needed to happen. They
were afraid of the Trump administration, that the Trump administration
might crack down on that merger, and so hence the
show got suspended. The problem with it is is one
(13:34):
Sinclair also came forward, which is not a part of
a merger that said they were also preempting the show.
And secondly, and probably more importantly, The Wall Street Journal
has reported that Jimmy Kimmel planned to address the controversy
on his Wednesday night show, but that the Disney executives
that met with him to talk with him about the
(13:56):
show learned what he was going to say, that he
was basically going to double down on blaming me, and
so they decided he's going to be throwing fuel on
the fire and they decided from that point to pull
the show. So this entire theory of oh, well, the
Trump administration is going to be heavy handed and they're gonna,
(14:18):
you know, cut off free speech, and this is fascism
in play. What it was actually happening here is that
Jimmy Kimmel was going to double down on a false
statement and blame MAGA again for being the killer of
Charlie Kirk, and the Disney executive said, no, we can't
(14:39):
do this. This is going to make it worse, and
so we are going to suspend this show. Jimmy Kimmel
has been in broadcasting for decades. He should know better.
He should understand the public interest mandate that his network
has when he's putting on his show. He should also
know that his affiliate, that their affiliates are also trying
(15:01):
to make a merger, and and that maybe it's not
smart to lie to your public and try to pin
a horrific assassination on the followers of the person that
was assassinated. That's called consequences, dude, That is called consequences,
and you are reaping them right now now.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Listen.
Speaker 7 (15:23):
We're finally seeing some you know, people are being held
accountable for what they're saying on the left. And I
think it's great. I think it's long long overdue, you know, And.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
We can go through and show, you know, video clips
of Jimmy Kimmel celebrating Tucker Carlson's firing. We can show
video clips or play audio of him basically cheering on
Roseanne's cancelation. And this has been something that has been
going on for these people to now try to make
(15:53):
the argument that this is some existential threat that has
just happened. This has been happening now for a decade.
Tim Allen's show was canceled. We saw Anthony Kumilla for
saying something on Twitter that was completely not even on
the air of Sirius. His show got canceled. Roseanne bar
(16:13):
got kicked off of her show for basically putting tweets
on that about Valerie Jarrett that were deemed as racist.
You had Gina Carano, You had Megan Kelly. Megan Kelly
was accused of a blackface controversy. She got fired. Tucker
Carlson got fired. Shane Gillis, as we said earlier, got fired,
James Woods was dropped by his management. And then you
(16:36):
had Sam Hyde, you had Owen Benjamin, you had I mean,
the list goes on and on. Josh Danny lost his show.
He had a show, a cooking show on one of
these networks. The list goes on and on, and this
is something that we have been dealing with now for
fifteen years, this cancel culture, and now they're trying to
make it seem like it's some brand new phenomenon. It
(17:00):
is infuriating and I am loving it. And I want
to once again give Benny Johnson props for bringing this
issue to the four. This has been an amazing work
of media influencers, conservative media influencers bringing this issue to
the forour Benny Johnson being the man that did that,
(17:22):
and I want to applaud him for doing that, because
this has to stop. We need a functioning media ecosystem.
It is the reason why it is the first amendment
in the Constitution. It's an important thing to be able
to argue both sides of a topic and find solutions.
It's what made America special. But we cannot allow these
(17:46):
public airwaves to be polluted with deliberate lies by somebody
like Jimmy Kimmel. And this is just the tip of
the iceberg. This man has been lying week after week
with It was the COVID stuff where he was basically
telling people that if you didn't get a vaccine, you
should basically die you should be the last people to
(18:06):
get a surgery. That basically people that with vaccines should
have priority to go into the to get medical operations.
The guy has been spewing the Russia Gate stuff for
years and years on end. Well, now it's being discussed
that maybe the View, which is also spewing week after
(18:28):
week after week false information into the public airwaves. Well
now there's some discussion of maybe needing to investigate the View.
This is the FCC Chairman Brendan Carr going on with
Jennings the CNN, the one guy that everybody loves at CNN,
Scott Jennings podcast, speaking about the View.
Speaker 11 (18:49):
Jimmy Fallon and Seth Minor at NBC, just wondering do
you have comments on those shows and are they doing
what Kimmel did Monday Night? And is it even worse
on those programs in your opinion?
Speaker 3 (19:00):
Well, you can be unfunny, that's fine, And a lot
of people are sort of saying that, Well, people are
punishing Kimmel because they don't like a joke that he told.
But you know, we don't need to rehash it here valously.
What he said was not a joke. It wasn't presented
at all that way. But when you look at these
other TV shows, what's interesting is the SEC does have
a rule called the equal opportunity rule, which means, for instance,
(19:25):
if you're in the rubs to an election, you have
one you partisan elected official on, you have to give
equal time, equal opportunity to the opposing partisan politician. So far,
so good. But there's an exception to that rule, all
the bonafide news exception, which means, if you are a
bonafide news program, you don't have to abide by the
equal opportunity rule. And over the years, the SEC has
(19:48):
developed a body of case law on that, and its
suggested that most of these late night shows other than
SNL are bonified news programs and potential I would assume
you can make the argument that the View is a
bonified news show, but I'm not so sure about that,
and I think it's worthwhile to have the SCC look
into whether the View and some of the programs that you
(20:10):
have still qualify as bonifi news programs and therefore exempt
from the equal opportunity regime that Congress is.
Speaker 7 (20:18):
Put in place.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
So it looks like maybe the View is also going
to be feeling some pressure. Let's say, and don't listen
for a second anybody that tries to claim that this
is some unprecedented thing or that this is some new development.
You had Brian Stelter calling up cable networks trying to
get Fox News removed. You had Obama malign a YouTuber
(20:46):
in the wake of the Benghazi attack, trying to claim
that a YouTuber's video inspired violence that cause the invasion
of the Benghazi embassy, the American embassy in Benghazi. That
YouTuber ended up going to jail, and then it ended
up finding out that that was complete bogus. It was
something that had been planned for quite some time. Obama
(21:09):
threw a man in jail to cover their tracks and
to cover their mistake that they made in Benghazi. That
has no comparison to what is happening right now. What
is happening right now is is you have Jimmy Kimmel
lying to the public about a huge, massively horrendous event,
and now he's reaping the consequences. What we're seeing happen
(21:33):
right now is Hollywood starting to slowly lose its grip.
There was news that came out relatively recently that Disney
now is looking for shows that appeal to males. They've
put out all of these female superhero type of shows
that have flopped left and right. They have lost a
huge portion of their audience. You can only for so long,
(21:55):
for so many years, throw money into a fire pit.
You can only do that for so long, and at
some point you need to start making money. And so
you have Hollywood now seeing that they need to start
appealing to a broader audience. So there's a loosening of
this grip happening right now. And what we're seeing right
now is an exorcism. We're seeing an exorcism happening right
(22:18):
in front of our eyes. You saw it in the
wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, all of these people
filming themselves and willingly putting those videos, laughing and dancing
on Charlie Kirk's grave. It's just a horrible display. Horrible
it's and you're seeing demons being exercised right now. And
(22:40):
this is what you're seeing right now, this loss of
control that all of these media figures on the left
who had a complete control, a complete monopoly on cancel culture.
They had a complete monopoly on the storytelling industry, and
it's slowly they're starting to see, wait a minute, we
don't have as much control as we thought we had.
That's why it is so important right now for us
(23:03):
to go on offense and to start having our stories
out there. The technology is there, we just need the
will to do it. We have a once in a
lifetime opportunity right now. We cannot let Charlie Kirk die
in vain. Everything that this man stood for in regards
to open dialogue, in regards to speaking to the other side,
(23:27):
we have an opportunity right now to extend his message
into areas that we couldn't possibly have been dreamt of
on September ninth. Take the opportunity right now to convince
people to get into storytelling, Convince them to get into screenwriting,
Convince them to make films, Convince them to go into
the arts. If they show a skill set in that area.
(23:49):
Now is the time to start doing those things because
this country needs to be healed, and I think in
the wake of this Charlie Kirk assassination, we're going to
start seeing some healing happen. That's it for this week's
episode of fam Boogie. Please go check out our YouTube channel.
(24:13):
There'll be a link in the show notes and we'll
have a new episode coming up soon of Red Pilled America.
Keep your eyes out right now. We are running the
Nixon series. It's our most talked about series, so of
spread the word on that because it tends to bring
some people in. It's a great series that we have.
I think is one of our best. Until next time,
enjoy your guys' weekend, and let's say of America one
(24:35):
story of the time. Guys.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
