Episode Transcript

Speaker 1

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 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 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

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

So what we have.

Speaker 2

Here is the administration cracking down on someone for criticizing them.

Speaker 1

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

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

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 has been used.

And he calls in saying that this is just an existential attack on free speech.

Speaker 3

This is a redline that have been crossed for our industry, for the First Amendment, for the right of people to speak.

Speaker 4

There was nothing.

Speaker 3

Hateful about what was said, and even hateful speech is protected.

This this is not acceptable.

Speaker 5

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

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

And so.

Speaker 1

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, 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

You shouldn't be banned from one platform and not others if you for providing misinformation out there.

Speaker 7

There's no guarantee of free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and especially around our democracy.

Speaker 5

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

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

Twitter should be held accountable and shut down that site.

Speaker 8

It is a matter of safety and corporate accountability.

Speaker 9

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

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 of what's allowed on air and what isn't.

Speaker 1

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 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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 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 speaking on college campuses.

That is what we see as cancel culture being debanked.

It's being debanked exactly what.

Speaker 7

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

One percent.

They want to monopoly on canceling.

It's that simple.

Speaker 7

Absolutely.

Speaker 1

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 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.

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 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

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, 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 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 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, 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

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

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 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 themselves to the FCC commissioner and President Trump.

Speaker 1

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 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 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, 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 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 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

Listen.

Speaker 7

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

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 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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

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

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, 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 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 have still qualify as bonifi news programs and therefore exempt from the equal opportunity regime that Congress is.

Speaker 7

Put in place.

Speaker 1

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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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, 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.

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.

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 story of the time.

Guys.
