⏩ RIP Free Speech in America? Kimmel, Kirk & the Crackdown | Karel Cast 25-116
Is free speech officially on life support in the USA? Jimmy Kimmel makes a factual statement about Charlie Kirk and suddenly his show is “pulled indefinitely.” Meanwhile, politicians are pushing new definitions of “hate speech,” platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and AI moderation systems are flagging content left and right, and Sinclair is planning a national tribute to Kirk while demanding donations.
Karel unpacks the chilling trend: networks being stripped of their ability to self-regulate, cultural symbols under attack, and a democracy that feels like it’s slipping away. Has America already lost its 249-year experiment?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Show time is here. No time to fear.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Corrilla is so near because show time is here.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Corilla is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Now it's show time.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Well it had a good run, but guess what, Breeze
Beach is officially dead in the United States. We are
going to talk about the alleged freedom they always say
we have and how they are very quickly becoming a
thing of the past. On today's show, Uncensored, Unfiltered, un Hinged.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's the Corral Cast.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
It is cast. I am Carrel, so very glad you
are joining me. You know what, I'm gonna get up
and I'm gonna move around all because I forgot my
iPad over here and that is my key to being
in the chat room, and so I don't want to
not have be in the chat room. So now I
have it here, we go. Alrighty, let's get this big
shoe on the road. Gots not that I want to. Really,
(01:24):
today is a sad day in America, and it's all
there is anymore is sad days in America. But it's
really a sad day in America as free speech basically dies.
And I'm talking, of course about the basic firing. They
say suspended indefinitely, that means firing in media, the basic
firing of Jimmy Kimmel. And he was another person that
(01:49):
Trump wont and fired in so he is and more
than that. And let me explain to you why that happened.
Next Star Media, which is MAGA, MAGA owned next Our Media,
wants to merge with another company called like Tenga Media
something like that, and it's a six point five billion
(02:09):
dollar deal. Okay, So they want to curry favor with
the Trump administration. So when Jimmy Kimmel said a factual
thing as a joke about Charlie Kirk, meaning that he
had said that over the weekend, the left really got
or the MAGA really got it wrong by trying to
(02:30):
point the fingers at the Left when it turned out
to be one of their own that killed Charlie Kirk.
And it was. And he also joked about Trump's grief
because when asked about his friend Charlie Kirk, he said
it was terrible. But then the next sentence was about
the big ballroom that he's building, the two hundred million
(02:50):
dollar ballroom at the White House. I'm sure they're going
to put in slots on a water slide sometime soon.
And he's been suspended indefinitely for those for that, for
saying that MAGA got it wrong, that it was one
of their own that killed Charlie Kirk. Sinclair Media has
(03:12):
announced that they want Kimmel to donate to the Kirk
family to a turning point America. And also they are
asking now the FCC for stations to no longer be
able to police themselves for speech violations and have it
be the FCC. So basically what's happening is Trump is
(03:36):
taking over all media. Sinclair is already in Trump's pocket.
Why is that important to you? There are more locally
owned stations by Sinclair and Nextstar Media than any other,
and those affiliates are all in Trump's pocket. There are
over three hundred affiliate radio stations in this country, I'm sorry,
(03:59):
TV stations and radio stations owned by Next Star and Sinclair,
and those are MAGA. So Trump is taking over all
media just period, end of story. And free speech is dead.
Free speech is over in this country. And you know
(04:26):
what do we do with that? What do we do
with that, I have to tell you as someone who
has been a talk show host for thirty years of
my life, and that's how long I've been on major
talk radio. No, he won't. John Slade says, Kimmel will
be back when SAG and other unions boycott Disney and
(04:48):
Next Star. Nope, Disney and Next Star don't care. Then
Disney has suffered boycotts from everybody from Southern Baptists to whatever.
Disney doesn't care about boycotts. And Next Star is owned
by MAGA, so they really don't care. And all corporations,
no corporation is standing up to Donald Trump. None, zero, Zip, nada,
(05:16):
no corporations. So no, no one's gonna stand up for
Jimmy Kimmel. Oh, there'll be some horror and outrage on
the left. But Democrats did this. First of all, Joe
Biden did this. This is all Joe Biden's fault. Joe Biden,
and it's Hubris decided to run again. Democrats decided to
(05:38):
let him. And then we had the Kamala Harris debacle
of only having sixty one days to campaign. And here's
where we are. Joe Biden did this, make no mistakes,
and now the Democrats refused to show up the work
and refuse to do anything substitute for the country.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
If you're a really Correll dot com daily, you're missing out.
Get the podcast videos in the blug including recipes at
really Correll dot com. That's really ka R e l
dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Show Time is here.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
No time to fear Corell is so near because show
time is here.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So most affiliates in the markets are Sinclair or Nextstar.
When Next Star told Disney they were going to suspend
Kimmel from their air, that left Disney with only thirty
one stations to show kim Al on because that's all
that Disney actually owns, and so Disney capitulated to Next
Star and put him on in definite vacation. This is
(06:54):
not the first Colbert has been fired. Pambondi wants to
label any anti Trump speech hate speech. Donald Trump told
a reporter yesterday that perhaps he should be targeted for
his speech because he was very nasty as he said today.
(07:14):
Aluisi and a lawmaker is calling on social media to
ban any account critical of Charlie Kirk. Fuck Charlie Kirk,
ban me, go ahead. I don't care anymore. I'm canceling TikTok,
I'm canceling Instagram. I have removed all of my podcast
(07:35):
videos from YouTube. The only thing on YouTube now are
my music videos, Today's Show, Yesterday's Show, and a story
in Every Bottle and the Dorian Awards. Last night, I
removed one thousand and thirty three episodes of the Corell
Cast from YouTube. I'm done. I'm done. I'm not going
(07:56):
to be targeted by these people. I'm done. I am
going to move my show to another country. I have
decided in order for me to keep doing the Correll
Cast and not fear what I want to say, I
have to go to another country. I cannot do it
(08:16):
in America, and I think a lot of media is
going to see that that path as well. If Jimmy
Kimmel moves his production to Canada, Trump can't touch him.
You know, it's the same way with me. If I
move my production to Canada or Mexico and you guys
(08:37):
stream it, there are some platforms that could ban me,
but you'd still be able to get it. You wouldn't.
It wouldn't be prohibited. So you know, if I live
here and say the things I want to say, then
I could be a target for violence. I don't know
(08:58):
how Stephanie Miller and David Pacman and Tom Hartman are
going to keep doing it. I really I don't know.
I don't tune into them, so I know that they're worried.
I know that David Pacman is worried. He has said
so on his show. He is a dual citizen with
another country citizen, he may move there. Jimmy Kimmel is
a citizen of Italy. He's probably gonna go. I bet
(09:21):
he goes. Free speech is how do I say this?
The founder set up free speech for this exact situation.
You have to allow speech that you hate. Trump does
not see it that way. They think speech is free
(09:42):
only if it's on their side of the isle. Charlie
Kirk said some of the most abhorrent, horrifying things about
Americans that has ever been said by anybody. He was
an abomination, and yet he was allowed to say it.
And this weekend, Sinclair on all of their affiliates across
(10:05):
the land are going to play a tribute show to
Charlie Kirk. Americans gay Americans, black Americans, female Americans, Muslim
Americans are going to have Charlie Kirk thrust into their
face as a memorial to a man that was hateful
(10:27):
and despicable. We're done. America is done. For those of
you that thought I can hang on to the midterms,
I know America's done. Either you want to live in
a dictator autocracy or you don't. If you don't, then
(10:47):
you seriously need to start thinking about leaving, and not
just to a blue state, because there's not going to
be many of those left. They are redistricting in almost
every Republican state that they can to give them a
super majority. Democrats are irrelevant now. They have no power
in Washington, DC none, They're out voted on everything. They
(11:11):
refuse to get rid of the filibuster. Democrats are over.
They're not going to win in the midterms, and they're
not going to win in the general because there's not
going to be midterms and there's probably not going to
be a general. And if you think there are your
delusional in the chatroom at YouTube dot com forward Slash,
really carell when the actors, directors and others don't show
(11:35):
up for work. No one's going to care. I'm telling you,
you think that the entertainment industry has leverage here, they
don't because the owners of the entertainment industry are going
to bow to Donald Trump because all they care about
is money. Do you think the head of ABC CB,
the head of Paramount is Maga. Sky Dance is owned
(12:00):
by Larry Ellison. Who is Maga? So CBS is already
owned by Maga. ABC just bowed to Donald Trump. NBC
has already paid Donald Trump. So who is going to
Who do you think is out there that's gonna stand
up to Donald Trump? What network? Explain that to me?
(12:26):
Because I don't see one. Did kim O give Sinclair
an excuse to bail out of Late Night? He doesn't.
He didn't bail out of Late Night, And just saying
what he said about Charlie Kirk was not any kind
of inflammatory statement or should have been. No one is
(12:47):
gonna stand up for us, No, because no one is
standing up for us. Biden's been remarkably quiet. Obama's just
been tweeting doom. Our democracy is in peril. Yeah, what
do you fucking do about it? You know, Colbert and
Kimmel should do a show together from another country. Fully agree.
Tonight on Colbert Kimmel should be the host. I would
(13:08):
do that if I were Stephen Colbert. I worry about SNL. Oh, yeah,
SNL will be the next thing to go. Yeah. Maxwell agrees.
I'm sure that SNL will soon be pretty gone. Yeah,
I agree. I agree. It's days are numbered as well,
and it won't nearly be as edgy. It won't. We
are headed for the demise of democracy. Free speech already gone,
(13:34):
freedom from religion already gone. Christian nationalists have taken over.
You're not free from religion. That's in your face every day.
Most of the amendments gone, due process gone, Immigrants don't
get due processed. Many people are not getting due process now.
So the first amendment's gone. They cling to the second, third,
(13:56):
and fourth gone. So it's failing and no one's stopping it.
That's the thing. When corporate America bows to the president.
Do you think Mago would bow to Joe Biden. Do
you think if Joe Biden had told Sinclair or Next
(14:18):
Star to cancel, you know, to get rid of Newsmax
or News Nation. Joe Biden should have put an end
to Fox News his first year in his presidency. Again,
this is all Joe Biden's fault. Joe Biden did not
prosecute Donald Trump, did not push for an expedient prosecution
(14:39):
to put that man in jail, did not direct me
Garland to act immediately. Joe Biden did nothing to curtail
Fox News or Newsmax or Oan. Well, what could you
have done? Well, what is fucking Trump doing? Stopping it?
That's what Trump's doing. Why didn't Biden? Well, Democrats aren't
the way you mean. They bring a knife to a
(14:59):
guy fight. Fox News should have been shut down Biden's
first week in office period shut down, sued, out of
business investigated. Had the murdocks torn apart every bit of
their lives? Sick the IRS on them, sick the FCC
on them, everything, Next Star Media and Sinclair should be
(15:23):
broken up. They shouldn't. Even Biden should have did antitrust
laws and broken up Next Star Media, broken up Sinclair Broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Not.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
All of this is the Democrat's fault. They allowed it
to happen, and it did. They gave Maga the opportunity
and Maga took it. Trump has no problem with his agenda.
Biden had no agenda to protect America. None, none, And
(16:03):
who knows what Kamala would have done, would she have
gotten rid of Fox. We're too tolerant. The left has
become too tolerant, and they tolerated all this evil and
it triumphed, and no one's stopping it. Now. Oh, Corey
Booker's out having an aneurysm here or there, or Hakeem
Jeffries is off having his veins pop out of his head.
(16:27):
But what good does that do? And all the liberals
in Hollywood are screaming and yelling and blah blah blah,
But what good does that do. It's not stopping him,
it's not stopping Sinclair or Next Star Media. So what
good does it do? Your boycott of Hulu will do nothing.
(16:48):
They will continue to have programming and they will continue
to have subscribers. Because America has died from complacency. The
Democrats were complacent to not punish Donald Trump, not put
him in jail within year one of Biden's presidency. The
(17:11):
Democrats were complacent to let Joe Biden announce that he
was going to run again when he shouldn't have. The
Democrats have been complacent in everything for the last nine
months and voters, people like you and I in France.
If we were in France today, they'd be in the streets.
(17:33):
They'd shut down Hulu. They would literally go to its
corporate offices and shut it down. Not us. People going
to go about their lives today, go about their jobs today.
They're going to just complain a bit on social media.
And that's that. I have a friend, Sibille, who moved
(17:53):
to Switzerland. I may take up a room with her
for a couple months. You know, it's it's time. The
Germans knew when it was time to leave Germany, and
it was a hard decision. But if you love freedom,
if you love democracy, if you don't want to live
under authoritarian rule, it is now time to seriously consider leaving.
(18:18):
And I know none of you are going to seriously
consider it. You're just gonna sit here and bitch and
you're gonna put up a thousand reasons why you can't go.
And then when it gets even worse, when they're jailing
people for free speech, and they will, that's next, people
like me are going to be put in jail. You
wait and see. Oh, yesterday in the Oval Office, when
(18:43):
asked about gay pride flags in Washington, DC, and how
Trump said they should be taken down. Donald Trump said
that they are looking in to having the Pride flag
declared a symbol of terrorism. You heard me, right, They
are trying to have the Pride flag declared a symbol
(19:09):
of terrorism. This is where it's going, people, quickly in
a week, two weeks by Christmas. This is where it's going.
What are you gonna do about it? I mean that,
what are you gonna do about it? Sit and complain,
(19:31):
turn off the news, cancel your Hulu? What what are
you gonna do? I am so serious. What are you
going to do? You're outraged, you're mad, you don't like
the way it's going. What are you gonna do? I'm serious.
I'm asking let's see, did Sinclair use Kimmel to get
(19:55):
them out of that business? You mean to get them
out of the Jimmy Kimmel business. James, I'm not sure
what you're asking. Hi, RHS XO, James, I'm not sure
what you're asking. First of all, it's Next Star. Next
Star is the ABC's number one affiliate holder, and it
was Next Star that announced they were going to suspend
(20:17):
the show indefinitely. Now Next Star is not ABC. They
own the most ABC affiliates, but ABC is Disney, so
ABC had no plan to suspend Jimmy Kimmel or cancel them. Now,
maybe they wouldn't renew in two years, and Jimmy was
alluding to that, but they didn't wake up yesterday morning
(20:38):
and say let's suspend Jimmy Kimmel. Next Star, who is
their number one affiliate holder, said they were suspending Jimmy
Kimmel's show. So Disney faced one hundred and thirty five
stations not playing their content. That only left thirty four
(21:02):
stations that Disney actually owns. They're called Legacy Stage. So
it would either just have Kimmel on thirty four stations
or suspend it. So Next Star will keep taking your
contracts so I can ABC k Next but it was
(21:24):
Next Star they did.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Stay now is show side.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Next Star is owned by Perry siok s Okay and
he is a Trump supporter. He is the one that
led the effort Perry Sook to remove Jimmy, to remove
Jimmy Kimmel and Next Star broadcasting supports. Perry Sook has
(22:22):
given millions to the Trump administration h Donald According to Deadline,
this is two years ago. Donald Trump's win could finally
n TV station ownership cap Next Star CEO Perry Sook says,
and they say, oh, his whole thing is we must
preserve local journalism. That's what the head of Next Star says. No,
(22:46):
they must control the message. Look, I saw this coming
a long time ago. Why is there more right wing
than left? Because the right bought up radio stations decades
ago and small TV stations. We let this happen, We
let Republicans. That's why there's so much right wing talk
(23:07):
radio and not left. They bought the stations. They didn't
care if Fresh Limbaugh made money, they didn't care if
Glenn Beck made money. They threw a shit ton of
money at these hosts, Hannity and everybody and just told
him go talk your shit on these stations. And they did,
and they won. They won the radio battle. I can't
(23:28):
there's not one station in the United States that will
now employ me, not in this climate, not one. I
am openly gay and I'm progressive. No radio station in
America is going to employ me, No television station is
going to employ me, And no network in America is
gonna give me a TV show about politics or current events.
(23:51):
Maybe about vegan cooking or something, but I'd have to
censor everything I say. Jimmy Kimmel's comment was not career ending.
He simply said that the right had lost to jumped
the shark and was trying to blame a left winger
when it ended up being one of their own. He said,
a fact I know in the chat room, James, you
(24:13):
said that Kimmel gave them reason. That was not a reason.
That was not any kind of anticha. He actually was
sad about Charlie Kirk. He said it was terrible. He
contacted Charlie Kirk's widow and said how terrible this was.
He didn't go on an anti Kirk tirade. He simply
said they got it wrong about the shooter. That's all.
(24:34):
He said, that's it, and that Trump had a weird
way of grieving talking about a ballroom. That's it. That's all.
He said. That's not reason. There's no justification for this.
He should have been able to say that Charlie Kirk
sucked donkey dick who cares. It's called free speech, But
(24:57):
he can't. Can't. Now, you cannot criticize anyone on that side,
or you will be banished. That's America. Local journalism is
too expensive, which is why national rules. You are absolutely
right about that, James. Most places have cut their newsrooms
(25:19):
and gone to national newsrooms. Absolutely right. We used to
have a left leaning talk station in the Bay Area, yeah, KGO,
I was on it. And you know what happened to KGO. Yep,
it's now right wing. And that right there. When I
went to KGO, it was the number one station on
the West Coast, beat everybody. Thirteen years later, when I
(25:42):
was fired, it was number nine in the market. Then
after I was fired, it slid lower and one day
in the middle of programming, it just switched and now
it's right wing talk or have even gone to sports
or something. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
That.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
That's the story of American media right there. Major a
major city like San Francisco, where there's more liberals than
almost any other city, has no progressive talk radio. None, zero, none,
(26:23):
La La Hollyweird, zero progressive talk radio. Kf I is conservative,
KBC conservative. There is no liberal talk radio in America anymore,
and there certainly won't be not now. And as for TV,
(26:49):
where the liberal host Kimmel's now gone, Colbert's going where
are they? The Oprah is not doing a show anymore.
Drew and Jennifer Hudson and Kelly they don't talk politics
at all, so it's gone. He's wiped it out. MSNBC
(27:15):
is changing their name. They have very few viewers as
it is. And I give MSNBC a year before they
switch programming a year. I give it one year before
MSNBC flips. Trump will get mad, he'll want Rachel Maddow
off the air. There'll be a deal going through that
(27:36):
Peacock needs, and away they'll go. It's all about money.
They're selling us out for money. Next Star just sold
us out so Peter Suk and his company can make
a six point five billion dollar deal to acquire another
media company, so he controls even more of the narrative.
(28:01):
Free speech is dead in America. There is no longer.
Free speech had a good run eighteen seventy six until
twenty twenty five. It's a really good run, but it's over.
What next? Well, I think broadcasters should leave the country.
(28:22):
I want to. I think I'm going to start a
Kickstarter campaign to move the show to another country where
I won't be afraid to say whatever it is. I
might want to say, and I won't be afraid there'd
be someone showing up at my door. So yeah, I
think it is my goal to now take the Correll
Cast and all of my other video projects out of
(28:43):
the country, produce shows from Canada or Porto Aarta or Ireland.
Still keep you as my listeners, Still keep you as
my viewers. Still provide a show for you, but do
it from another country where I can't be prosecuted for
what I say, and where if I'm canceled it won't
(29:05):
matter because you could still I'll get a web host
in another country if I have to just do it
through my own website instead of YouTube, you know. But
the only way to do it is to get out
of the United States. I cannot stay in the United
States and be a gay liberal. They're gonna outlaw being
gay here very soon. You wait, I am Corel see
(29:27):
who you want to be? Something to hurt you, buddy.
We'll see you back on monkey. I love you very much.
I do. I love you guys so much. Thank you
for sharing today, Bucalot because more horror has yet to come.
Speaker 5 (29:44):
It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view yours.

Speaker 1 (00:07):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Corilla is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Now it's show time.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Well it had a good run, but guess what, Breeze
Beach is officially dead in the United States. We are
going to talk about the alleged freedom they always say
we have and how they are very quickly becoming a
thing of the past. On today's show, Uncensored, Unfiltered, un Hinged.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
It's the Corral Cast.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Listen daily on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
It is cast. I am Carrel, so very glad you
are joining me. You know what, I'm gonna get up
and I'm gonna move around all because I forgot my
iPad over here and that is my key to being
in the chat room, and so I don't want to
not have be in the chat room. So now I
have it here, we go. Alrighty, let's get this big
shoe on the road. Gots not that I want to. Really,
(01:24):
today is a sad day in America, and it's all
there is anymore is sad days in America. But it's
really a sad day in America as free speech basically dies.
And I'm talking, of course about the basic firing. They
say suspended indefinitely, that means firing in media, the basic
firing of Jimmy Kimmel. And he was another person that
(01:49):
Trump wont and fired in so he is and more
than that. And let me explain to you why that happened.
Next Star Media, which is MAGA, MAGA owned next Our Media,
wants to merge with another company called like Tenga Media
something like that, and it's a six point five billion
(02:09):
dollar deal. Okay, So they want to curry favor with
the Trump administration. So when Jimmy Kimmel said a factual
thing as a joke about Charlie Kirk, meaning that he
had said that over the weekend, the left really got
or the MAGA really got it wrong by trying to
(02:30):
point the fingers at the Left when it turned out
to be one of their own that killed Charlie Kirk.
And it was. And he also joked about Trump's grief
because when asked about his friend Charlie Kirk, he said
it was terrible. But then the next sentence was about
the big ballroom that he's building, the two hundred million
(02:50):
dollar ballroom at the White House. I'm sure they're going
to put in slots on a water slide sometime soon.
And he's been suspended indefinitely for those for that, for
saying that MAGA got it wrong, that it was one
of their own that killed Charlie Kirk. Sinclair Media has
(03:12):
announced that they want Kimmel to donate to the Kirk
family to a turning point America. And also they are
asking now the FCC for stations to no longer be
able to police themselves for speech violations and have it
be the FCC. So basically what's happening is Trump is
(03:36):
taking over all media. Sinclair is already in Trump's pocket.
Why is that important to you? There are more locally
owned stations by Sinclair and Nextstar Media than any other,
and those affiliates are all in Trump's pocket. There are
over three hundred affiliate radio stations in this country, I'm sorry,
(03:59):
TV stations and radio stations owned by Next Star and Sinclair,
and those are MAGA. So Trump is taking over all
media just period, end of story. And free speech is dead.
Free speech is over in this country. And you know
(04:26):
what do we do with that? What do we do
with that, I have to tell you as someone who
has been a talk show host for thirty years of
my life, and that's how long I've been on major
talk radio. No, he won't. John Slade says, Kimmel will
be back when SAG and other unions boycott Disney and
(04:48):
Next Star. Nope, Disney and Next Star don't care. Then
Disney has suffered boycotts from everybody from Southern Baptists to whatever.
Disney doesn't care about boycotts. And Next Star is owned
by MAGA, so they really don't care. And all corporations,
no corporation is standing up to Donald Trump. None, zero, Zip, nada,
(05:16):
no corporations. So no, no one's gonna stand up for
Jimmy Kimmel. Oh, there'll be some horror and outrage on
the left. But Democrats did this. First of all, Joe
Biden did this. This is all Joe Biden's fault. Joe Biden,
and it's Hubris decided to run again. Democrats decided to
(05:38):
let him. And then we had the Kamala Harris debacle
of only having sixty one days to campaign. And here's
where we are. Joe Biden did this, make no mistakes,
and now the Democrats refused to show up the work
and refuse to do anything substitute for the country.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
If you're a really Correll dot com daily, you're missing out.
Get the podcast videos in the blug including recipes at
really Correll dot com. That's really ka R e l
dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Show Time is here.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
No time to fear Corell is so near because show
time is here.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
So on with the show. Let's give it a go.
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So most affiliates in the markets are Sinclair or Nextstar.
When Next Star told Disney they were going to suspend
Kimmel from their air, that left Disney with only thirty
one stations to show kim Al on because that's all
that Disney actually owns, and so Disney capitulated to Next
Star and put him on in definite vacation. This is
(06:54):
not the first Colbert has been fired. Pambondi wants to
label any anti Trump speech hate speech. Donald Trump told
a reporter yesterday that perhaps he should be targeted for
his speech because he was very nasty as he said today.
(07:14):
Aluisi and a lawmaker is calling on social media to
ban any account critical of Charlie Kirk. Fuck Charlie Kirk,
ban me, go ahead. I don't care anymore. I'm canceling TikTok,
I'm canceling Instagram. I have removed all of my podcast
(07:35):
videos from YouTube. The only thing on YouTube now are
my music videos, Today's Show, Yesterday's Show, and a story
in Every Bottle and the Dorian Awards. Last night, I
removed one thousand and thirty three episodes of the Corell
Cast from YouTube. I'm done. I'm done. I'm not going
(07:56):
to be targeted by these people. I'm done. I am
going to move my show to another country. I have
decided in order for me to keep doing the Correll
Cast and not fear what I want to say, I
have to go to another country. I cannot do it
(08:16):
in America, and I think a lot of media is
going to see that that path as well. If Jimmy
Kimmel moves his production to Canada, Trump can't touch him.
You know, it's the same way with me. If I
move my production to Canada or Mexico and you guys
(08:37):
stream it, there are some platforms that could ban me,
but you'd still be able to get it. You wouldn't.
It wouldn't be prohibited. So you know, if I live
here and say the things I want to say, then
I could be a target for violence. I don't know
(08:58):
how Stephanie Miller and David Pacman and Tom Hartman are
going to keep doing it. I really I don't know.
I don't tune into them, so I know that they're worried.
I know that David Pacman is worried. He has said
so on his show. He is a dual citizen with
another country citizen, he may move there. Jimmy Kimmel is
a citizen of Italy. He's probably gonna go. I bet
(09:21):
he goes. Free speech is how do I say this?
The founder set up free speech for this exact situation.
You have to allow speech that you hate. Trump does
not see it that way. They think speech is free
(09:42):
only if it's on their side of the isle. Charlie
Kirk said some of the most abhorrent, horrifying things about
Americans that has ever been said by anybody. He was
an abomination, and yet he was allowed to say it.
And this weekend, Sinclair on all of their affiliates across
(10:05):
the land are going to play a tribute show to
Charlie Kirk. Americans gay Americans, black Americans, female Americans, Muslim
Americans are going to have Charlie Kirk thrust into their
face as a memorial to a man that was hateful
(10:27):
and despicable. We're done. America is done. For those of
you that thought I can hang on to the midterms,
I know America's done. Either you want to live in
a dictator autocracy or you don't. If you don't, then
(10:47):
you seriously need to start thinking about leaving, and not
just to a blue state, because there's not going to
be many of those left. They are redistricting in almost
every Republican state that they can to give them a
super majority. Democrats are irrelevant now. They have no power
in Washington, DC none, They're out voted on everything. They
(11:11):
refuse to get rid of the filibuster. Democrats are over.
They're not going to win in the midterms, and they're
not going to win in the general because there's not
going to be midterms and there's probably not going to
be a general. And if you think there are your
delusional in the chatroom at YouTube dot com forward Slash,
really carell when the actors, directors and others don't show
(11:35):
up for work. No one's going to care. I'm telling you,
you think that the entertainment industry has leverage here, they
don't because the owners of the entertainment industry are going
to bow to Donald Trump because all they care about
is money. Do you think the head of ABC CB,
the head of Paramount is Maga. Sky Dance is owned
(12:00):
by Larry Ellison. Who is Maga? So CBS is already
owned by Maga. ABC just bowed to Donald Trump. NBC
has already paid Donald Trump. So who is going to
Who do you think is out there that's gonna stand
up to Donald Trump? What network? Explain that to me?
(12:26):
Because I don't see one. Did kim O give Sinclair
an excuse to bail out of Late Night? He doesn't.
He didn't bail out of Late Night, And just saying
what he said about Charlie Kirk was not any kind
of inflammatory statement or should have been. No one is
(12:47):
gonna stand up for us, No, because no one is
standing up for us. Biden's been remarkably quiet. Obama's just
been tweeting doom. Our democracy is in peril. Yeah, what
do you fucking do about it? You know, Colbert and
Kimmel should do a show together from another country. Fully agree.
Tonight on Colbert Kimmel should be the host. I would
(13:08):
do that if I were Stephen Colbert. I worry about SNL. Oh, yeah,
SNL will be the next thing to go. Yeah. Maxwell agrees.
I'm sure that SNL will soon be pretty gone. Yeah,
I agree. I agree. It's days are numbered as well,
and it won't nearly be as edgy. It won't. We
are headed for the demise of democracy. Free speech already gone,
(13:34):
freedom from religion already gone. Christian nationalists have taken over.
You're not free from religion. That's in your face every day.
Most of the amendments gone, due process gone, Immigrants don't
get due processed. Many people are not getting due process now.
So the first amendment's gone. They cling to the second, third,
(13:56):
and fourth gone. So it's failing and no one's stopping it.
That's the thing. When corporate America bows to the president.
Do you think Mago would bow to Joe Biden. Do
you think if Joe Biden had told Sinclair or Next
(14:18):
Star to cancel, you know, to get rid of Newsmax
or News Nation. Joe Biden should have put an end
to Fox News his first year in his presidency. Again,
this is all Joe Biden's fault. Joe Biden did not
prosecute Donald Trump, did not push for an expedient prosecution
(14:39):
to put that man in jail, did not direct me
Garland to act immediately. Joe Biden did nothing to curtail
Fox News or Newsmax or Oan. Well, what could you
have done? Well, what is fucking Trump doing? Stopping it?
That's what Trump's doing. Why didn't Biden? Well, Democrats aren't
the way you mean. They bring a knife to a
(14:59):
guy fight. Fox News should have been shut down Biden's
first week in office period shut down, sued, out of
business investigated. Had the murdocks torn apart every bit of
their lives? Sick the IRS on them, sick the FCC
on them, everything, Next Star Media and Sinclair should be
(15:23):
broken up. They shouldn't. Even Biden should have did antitrust
laws and broken up Next Star Media, broken up Sinclair Broadcasting.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Not.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
All of this is the Democrat's fault. They allowed it
to happen, and it did. They gave Maga the opportunity
and Maga took it. Trump has no problem with his agenda.
Biden had no agenda to protect America. None, none, And
(16:03):
who knows what Kamala would have done, would she have
gotten rid of Fox. We're too tolerant. The left has
become too tolerant, and they tolerated all this evil and
it triumphed, and no one's stopping it. Now. Oh, Corey
Booker's out having an aneurysm here or there, or Hakeem
Jeffries is off having his veins pop out of his head.
(16:27):
But what good does that do? And all the liberals
in Hollywood are screaming and yelling and blah blah blah,
But what good does that do. It's not stopping him,
it's not stopping Sinclair or Next Star Media. So what
good does it do? Your boycott of Hulu will do nothing.
(16:48):
They will continue to have programming and they will continue
to have subscribers. Because America has died from complacency. The
Democrats were complacent to not punish Donald Trump, not put
him in jail within year one of Biden's presidency. The
(17:11):
Democrats were complacent to let Joe Biden announce that he
was going to run again when he shouldn't have. The
Democrats have been complacent in everything for the last nine
months and voters, people like you and I in France.
If we were in France today, they'd be in the streets.
(17:33):
They'd shut down Hulu. They would literally go to its
corporate offices and shut it down. Not us. People going
to go about their lives today, go about their jobs today.
They're going to just complain a bit on social media.
And that's that. I have a friend, Sibille, who moved
(17:53):
to Switzerland. I may take up a room with her
for a couple months. You know, it's it's time. The
Germans knew when it was time to leave Germany, and
it was a hard decision. But if you love freedom,
if you love democracy, if you don't want to live
under authoritarian rule, it is now time to seriously consider leaving.
(18:18):
And I know none of you are going to seriously
consider it. You're just gonna sit here and bitch and
you're gonna put up a thousand reasons why you can't go.
And then when it gets even worse, when they're jailing
people for free speech, and they will, that's next, people
like me are going to be put in jail. You
wait and see. Oh, yesterday in the Oval Office, when
(18:43):
asked about gay pride flags in Washington, DC, and how
Trump said they should be taken down. Donald Trump said
that they are looking in to having the Pride flag
declared a symbol of terrorism. You heard me, right, They
are trying to have the Pride flag declared a symbol
(19:09):
of terrorism. This is where it's going, people, quickly in
a week, two weeks by Christmas. This is where it's going.
What are you gonna do about it? I mean that,
what are you gonna do about it? Sit and complain,
(19:31):
turn off the news, cancel your Hulu? What what are
you gonna do? I am so serious. What are you
going to do? You're outraged, you're mad, you don't like
the way it's going. What are you gonna do? I'm serious.
I'm asking let's see, did Sinclair use Kimmel to get
(19:55):
them out of that business? You mean to get them
out of the Jimmy Kimmel business. James, I'm not sure
what you're asking. Hi, RHS XO, James, I'm not sure
what you're asking. First of all, it's Next Star. Next
Star is the ABC's number one affiliate holder, and it
was Next Star that announced they were going to suspend
(20:17):
the show indefinitely. Now Next Star is not ABC. They
own the most ABC affiliates, but ABC is Disney, so
ABC had no plan to suspend Jimmy Kimmel or cancel them. Now,
maybe they wouldn't renew in two years, and Jimmy was
alluding to that, but they didn't wake up yesterday morning
(20:38):
and say let's suspend Jimmy Kimmel. Next Star, who is
their number one affiliate holder, said they were suspending Jimmy
Kimmel's show. So Disney faced one hundred and thirty five
stations not playing their content. That only left thirty four
(21:02):
stations that Disney actually owns. They're called Legacy Stage. So
it would either just have Kimmel on thirty four stations
or suspend it. So Next Star will keep taking your
contracts so I can ABC k Next but it was
(21:24):
Next Star they did.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Stay now is show side.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Next Star is owned by Perry siok s Okay and
he is a Trump supporter. He is the one that
led the effort Perry Sook to remove Jimmy, to remove
Jimmy Kimmel and Next Star broadcasting supports. Perry Sook has
(22:22):
given millions to the Trump administration h Donald According to Deadline,
this is two years ago. Donald Trump's win could finally
n TV station ownership cap Next Star CEO Perry Sook says,
and they say, oh, his whole thing is we must
preserve local journalism. That's what the head of Next Star says. No,
(22:46):
they must control the message. Look, I saw this coming
a long time ago. Why is there more right wing
than left? Because the right bought up radio stations decades
ago and small TV stations. We let this happen, We
let Republicans. That's why there's so much right wing talk
(23:07):
radio and not left. They bought the stations. They didn't
care if Fresh Limbaugh made money, they didn't care if
Glenn Beck made money. They threw a shit ton of
money at these hosts, Hannity and everybody and just told
him go talk your shit on these stations. And they did,
and they won. They won the radio battle. I can't
(23:28):
there's not one station in the United States that will
now employ me, not in this climate, not one. I
am openly gay and I'm progressive. No radio station in
America is going to employ me, No television station is
going to employ me, And no network in America is
gonna give me a TV show about politics or current events.
(23:51):
Maybe about vegan cooking or something, but I'd have to
censor everything I say. Jimmy Kimmel's comment was not career ending.
He simply said that the right had lost to jumped
the shark and was trying to blame a left winger
when it ended up being one of their own. He said,
a fact I know in the chat room, James, you
(24:13):
said that Kimmel gave them reason. That was not a reason.
That was not any kind of anticha. He actually was
sad about Charlie Kirk. He said it was terrible. He
contacted Charlie Kirk's widow and said how terrible this was.
He didn't go on an anti Kirk tirade. He simply
said they got it wrong about the shooter. That's all.
(24:34):
He said, that's it, and that Trump had a weird
way of grieving talking about a ballroom. That's it. That's all.
He said. That's not reason. There's no justification for this.
He should have been able to say that Charlie Kirk
sucked donkey dick who cares. It's called free speech, But
(24:57):
he can't. Can't. Now, you cannot criticize anyone on that side,
or you will be banished. That's America. Local journalism is
too expensive, which is why national rules. You are absolutely
right about that, James. Most places have cut their newsrooms
(25:19):
and gone to national newsrooms. Absolutely right. We used to
have a left leaning talk station in the Bay Area, yeah, KGO,
I was on it. And you know what happened to KGO. Yep,
it's now right wing. And that right there. When I
went to KGO, it was the number one station on
the West Coast, beat everybody. Thirteen years later, when I
(25:42):
was fired, it was number nine in the market. Then
after I was fired, it slid lower and one day
in the middle of programming, it just switched and now
it's right wing talk or have even gone to sports
or something. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
That.
Speaker 4 (26:03):
That's the story of American media right there. Major a
major city like San Francisco, where there's more liberals than
almost any other city, has no progressive talk radio. None, zero, none,
(26:23):
La La Hollyweird, zero progressive talk radio. Kf I is conservative,
KBC conservative. There is no liberal talk radio in America anymore,
and there certainly won't be not now. And as for TV,
(26:49):
where the liberal host Kimmel's now gone, Colbert's going where
are they? The Oprah is not doing a show anymore.
Drew and Jennifer Hudson and Kelly they don't talk politics
at all, so it's gone. He's wiped it out. MSNBC
(27:15):
is changing their name. They have very few viewers as
it is. And I give MSNBC a year before they
switch programming a year. I give it one year before
MSNBC flips. Trump will get mad, he'll want Rachel Maddow
off the air. There'll be a deal going through that
(27:36):
Peacock needs, and away they'll go. It's all about money.
They're selling us out for money. Next Star just sold
us out so Peter Suk and his company can make
a six point five billion dollar deal to acquire another
media company, so he controls even more of the narrative.
(28:01):
Free speech is dead in America. There is no longer.
Free speech had a good run eighteen seventy six until
twenty twenty five. It's a really good run, but it's over.
What next? Well, I think broadcasters should leave the country.
(28:22):
I want to. I think I'm going to start a
Kickstarter campaign to move the show to another country where
I won't be afraid to say whatever it is. I
might want to say, and I won't be afraid there'd
be someone showing up at my door. So yeah, I
think it is my goal to now take the Correll
Cast and all of my other video projects out of
(28:43):
the country, produce shows from Canada or Porto Aarta or Ireland.
Still keep you as my listeners, Still keep you as
my viewers. Still provide a show for you, but do
it from another country where I can't be prosecuted for
what I say, and where if I'm canceled it won't
(29:05):
matter because you could still I'll get a web host
in another country if I have to just do it
through my own website instead of YouTube, you know. But
the only way to do it is to get out
of the United States. I cannot stay in the United
States and be a gay liberal. They're gonna outlaw being
gay here very soon. You wait, I am Corel see
(29:27):
who you want to be? Something to hurt you, buddy.
We'll see you back on monkey. I love you very much.
I do. I love you guys so much. Thank you
