Megyn Kelly Hosts the Charlie Kirk Show Featuring Turning Point Team on Their Boss's Legacy and Vision
Megyn Kelly sits in Charlie Kirk's studio with his team at Turning Point USA to discuss the man behind the movement. Staff members share intimate stories about Charlie's discipline, humor, and unwavering commitment to truth. From his obsession with sports and Taylor Swift to his meticulous preparation and nerdy brilliance, the team reveals the alpha male intellectual who changed conservative politics. They discuss Erika Kirk's appointment as CEO, the upcoming memorial service with President Trump, and how they plan to carry Charlie's vision forward while processing profound grief.
Inside Charlie Kirk's World with His Turning Point Team
Megyn Kelly sits down with Charlie Kirk's closest colleagues at Turning Point USA to paint an intimate portrait of the conservative leader who shaped a generation. Speaking from Charlie's own studio while wearing the Freedom shirt he wore on his final day, the team shares stories that reveal the man behind the microphone—a nerdy alpha male who combined intellectual rigor with unwavering discipline.
Staff members reveal Charlie's unexpected obsessions, from following Taylor Swift news to watching Cubs games on his iPad during shows. Despite his public profile, Charlie remained refreshingly normal to those who worked with him daily. As one team member notes, "When you're with Charlie every day, he's not Charlie Kirk. He's just Charlie."
The Disciplined Life of an Alpha Intellectual
Charlie's team describes him as the ultimate example of disciplined masculinity. He never drank alcohol, maintained a rigorous gym schedule, ate meticulously healthy, had his signature Starbucks order, and protected his vocal cords with throat coat tea. This discipline extended to his work ethic—he managed multiple initiatives simultaneously while still making time for normal human activities including his strict Sabbath observance every Saturday.
His intellectual preparation was equally demanding. Charlie would have researchers like Danny prepare detailed briefings on specific topics, sometimes requesting additional information just five minutes before events. Blake and other team members would read books for him when time was tight, while mentors like Frank Turek would visit to share knowledge that Charlie absorbed through meticulous note-taking. Everything he learned was focused toward his campus tours, where he wanted to share gleaned wisdom with students across America.
Memorable Moments and Charlie's Quick Wit
The team shares cherished memories that capture Charlie's essence. At the RNC, when JD Vance took the stage—a moment Charlie had helped orchestrate—they snuck onto the floor without passes. As the crowd chanted about Joe Biden, Charlie turned with cinematic timing and said, "Careful what you wish for." Days later, their prediction proved prophetic.
Charlie's humor shone through in unexpected moments. His Juneteenth video telling everyone to go to work became an instant classic among the team. He would send selfie videos to staff chats—quick commentary pieces that were funny without trying to be. Many got posted to social media, but the team treasured the behind-the-scenes glimpses of Charlie being himself.
His pop culture blindness provided comic relief. The team recalls him asking "What is Brat Summer?" because he was so focused on his mission that trends passed him by entirely. When Taylor Swift endorsed Kamala Harris, Charlie didn't let political differences dim his enthusiasm for her engagement, declaring "This is amazing. More people should get married and have kids."
The Sports Fanatic with No Time to Watch
Charlie's sports consumption had to be intense and efficient. He didn't have time to lounge watching games, so he developed creative solutions. During the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, he watched US matches on his phone during his show, reacting to plays during segments. He always had an iPad nearby for monitoring games.
The Cubs and Oregon Ducks held special significance—his family's college team that he adopted as his own. Charlie would sometimes joke that he wanted to retire and coach college football, especially when frustrated. During the Olympics and March Madness, the studio featured multiple iPads so he could track every game simultaneously.
Behind the Scenes: Life as Charlie's Executive Team
Nate Walker served as Charlie's executive assistant, handling daily logistics from food and water to clothes. He describes the challenge of maintaining clothing racks in the warehouse and sometimes having to guess what Charlie would want to wear. The Freedom shirt Charlie wore on his final day was his choice—a non-controversial statement that now carries profound meaning.
Katherine Loccastro managed administration and organization, balancing grief with the busiest period imaginable. She credits the team's will to work as contagious, following the lead of Mikey and Erica to do everything Charlie would have wanted—keep going and work harder than ever.
Danny handled research and prep for the show, meetings, and events. Charlie's requests ranged from incredibly specific details about obscure topics to complete trust in his team: "I got it covered." Those specific details would often surface in prove-me-wrong segments, demonstrating Charlie's commitment to being thoroughly prepared.
Security Concerns and the Ultimate Sacrifice
The team always received threats, though nobody had acted on them in such a devastating way before. Charlie wore a bulletproof vest, though many didn't realize the severity of the danger. As Mikey reflects, it didn't matter what security measures existed—nothing was going to stop Charlie from delivering his message where it needed to be heard.
Charlie died too soon, but he was always ready to die. Everything he did received his full commitment. He remained dedicated to his work and message, frequently stating that "North is north, no matter what"—objective truths must be shared with the world regardless of personal cost.
Danny and Nate were both on site when the tragedy occurred, experiencing the initial shock and disbelief shared by millions who watched on television. The team credits their ability to lean on each other as the most important factor in processing the unspeakable grief while maintaining their mission.
Erika Kirk Takes the Helm
The announcement of Erika Kirk as CEO of Turning Point USA brings the team profound comfort. Mikey describes an emotional moment when discussing the organization's future with Erica—for the first time since the tragedy, he felt like he was speaking to Charlie again. She knows everything Charlie shared with her in private conversations. From her texting style to her speech patterns, the team feels Charlie still leads the organization through her.
The operators who ran the organization with Charlie know exactly what he wanted. His vision and drive are ingrained in their minds, providing a blueprint for every difficult decision. As they prepare for Sunday's memorial service, they keep sending each other Charlie's quotes: "More people, make it bigger." His voice continues guiding them.
The Memorial Service and Overwhelming Response
The memorial service at State Farm Stadium features heads of state and virtually the entire White House administration. The security requirements reflect the significance of attendees including President Trump arriving on Air Force One. But beyond the logistics, the team finds beauty in messages from ordinary people.
Individuals message the team daily saying they're returning to church for the first time in seven or ten years. They sit in the empty seat Charlie left in the sanctuary and tell their neighbor, "Charlie brought me here." One message read: "For every Sunday after this, I'll go back for God, but for this Sunday, I'm going for Charlie Kirk."
The worldwide tributes surprise even those who knew Charlie best. Working with him daily, they knew Charlie the person, not Charlie Kirk the figure. Something like this made them realize his reach extended far beyond what any of them understood. They thought they worked for a company, only to discover something far more profound—a cause bigger than Charlie himself.
Charlie's Content Legacy
Charlie banked hours of content—four hours daily plus five speeches weekly. The team traveled constantly; they were supposed to be at Colorado State the day of the interview, Nashville the next day. Many speeches haven't been posted yet. Charlie spoke to diverse groups: church events, college students, random Japanese audiences, and Korea's version of AmericaFest.
Someone is going through hours of Charlie's footage, refreshing content that feels new to audiences getting to know him. People openly weep who never met Charlie and weren't necessarily fans—not detractors, but not followers either. The violence of his death combined with the content being shared allows millions to discover who he really was.
Turning Point's Path Forward
Kelly expresses optimism about Turning Point's future after meeting the team. They're young, energetic, and finding ways to laugh together while processing deep grief. It's a family more committed than ever to ensuring the organization stands, grows, and becomes even stronger.
The support is worldwide. Everyone asks what they can do to help. The answer is simple: keep telling them what you need. The team will continue Charlie's work with the knowledge that he picked them carefully. Charlie loved finding and acquiring talent, plucking people who excelled at their jobs to join his mission.
As Kelly reflects while wearing the Freedom shirt in Charlie's studio, these people prove they're capable of carrying the torch. They knew Charlie intimately, understood his vision, and have been executing it. Most importantly, they can do it—and they will.
Jimmy Kimmel Faces Consequences
The team finds sweet justice in ABC's indefinite suspension of Jimmy Kimmel following his comments about Charlie's murder. Charlie had tweeted long ago that "Jimmy Kimmel isn't funny"—a prediction that proved accurate. President Trump called it great news for America.
Walter Kern joins to discuss the suspension, emphasizing that broadcast airwaves belong to the public. The FCC licenses them to networks with conditions including serving the public good. When Kimmel made false claims that the case had been cracked and the culprit was MAGA—half the US public—he violated that public trust.
Kimmel wasn't funny, wasn't pulling ratings, and wished death on half his audience. He campaigned on stage instead of entertaining. Disney fired Chris Harrison from The Bachelor for far less. Bill Maher lost Politically Incorrect for controversial 9/11 comments. Roseanne lost her show for a tweet. The standard applies equally.
Kern notes that Kimmel was already on his way out—Trump predicted months ago he'd be next after Colbert. Kimmel went on a suicide mission, shooting his mouth off to please partisans so he could pose as a free speech martyr rather than a failed comedian. He reportedly feels furious, acting like a passive victim when he actively chose to lie during a time when MAGA faces unprecedented threat and grief.
The Broader Battle for Truth
The pharmaceutical industry purchased broadcast airwaves through advertising, using hosts like Kimmel to advance their interests. His mockery of ivermectin as "horse paste" while suggesting users should "rest in peace" served Pfizer's vaccine rollout. He wasn't speaking for himself—a huge industry spoke through him.
Now that industry faces losing advertising rights they've only held since the late 1990s, so they're manufacturing a First Amendment case. The irony is rich: these same people supported the Biden regime's censorship on COVID and the Hunter Biden laptop. Jeff Connolly wrote to Fox News demanding they not air Tucker Carlson's J6 special—actual government interference where it has no right.
The FCC has legitimate authority over broadcast networks but extended its reach during COVID and the Trump era into platforms like Twitter and Facebook where it doesn't belong. They intimidated management and infiltrated companies—documented cases of people moving from FBI to Twitter management.
Now the worm turns. The public was already changing before Charlie's death. Now it's absolutely outraged. The battle for truth continues with Charlie's team leading the charge, supported by millions who finally see the manipulation clearly.
Video Transcript
You guys made me obsessed with Charlie. I didn't even know him until this. >> Right now, speaking of obsessions, you two share one and Charlie tapped into it more than once. Tell us. >> Just any sort of Taylor Swift news that come up, he would just be like, "Explain this. What's happening?" And then when we were in the office when the news broke about them getting engaged and Charlie was so excited for them. He was like, "This is amazing. More people should get married and have kids. This is a great example for everyone." Like, yes. Exactly. We're so happy for Taylor. Well, that's I have a question for about Charlie for you guys. So, I mean, he was human. There were there were people who would irritate him. I know because I talked to him about some of those people. Would he how would he handle that? Like Taylor is one of them. She came out and she endorsed Kamla. She said it was because of Kamla's LGBTQ stance of Tim Walsh actually was I mean crazy statements. So, how would he get past that and then be had like he seemed to be able to do do that with everybody? I would say for the most part instead of him getting irritated by people in pop culture, it more so just went to the side of him and he wouldn't really pay attention to it until we'd be like, "Hey, this is I remember one time >> he's he's like, "What is Brat Summer?" Cuz everyone's talking about it. It like it didn't annoy him cuz he didn't even know about it. He was just so focused on what he needed to do. Some like Charlie here is Charlie was a nerd. >> Yeah. Yeah. There you go. >> Which is fine. You know, I mean, Andrew was telling me about how they like intentionally made him not nerdy for the uh prove me wrong segments, like maybe maybe we won't wear the suit, you know, maybe we'll wear a t-shirt. And that worked, right? He gained a lot of extra fans. >> He he still was pretty alpha. We got I think we can all agree. >> Yeah. Well, it's an interesting combination, right? Because he was a brainiac, but he was alpha. >> Yeah. And he was like the ultimate pinnacle example of what being a man is. And so being more like Charlie, he he would never drink alcohol. He'd go to the gym. He always ate healthy. He always had that Starbucks order. He always took care of his, you know, vocal cords with his throat coats and everything. >> Disciplined. >> He was a disciplined alpha male. And when when he had to tap into the nerdy side of him to learn something, he would tap into >> Well, how did he So, he didn't want you to go to college and you agreed not to. >> And then did he put you through college? >> Yeah. Yeah. I think I learned more under Charlie. But I also one of my favorite stories of Charlie since we're all just kind of going around. Literally probably my favorites. We were at the RNC and JD had just come out on stage and whether you guys know it or not, Charlie played a role in JD being the vice president. And um >> he comes out on stage, Charlie was so excited. He we snuck on the floor. We didn't have a pass. We went to the very front. It was just me and Charlie. And JD says something about Joe Biden. And this was right after the debate. And everybody was like, "Joe's got to go. Joe's got to go. Joe's got to go." And Charlie turns around, looks at me in this cinematic way, and he goes, "Careful what you wish for." And I was like, "Oh my gosh." And then the next I think a couple days later, I don't even remember Kla Harris's >> I know that summer was crazy. >> Yeah. More fundraising, more battles. Yeah. More pain, >> right? >> He Charlie was very funny and he had so many funny oneliners where he almost he wasn't trying to be funny, but it was just those quick little ones. Like I can remember on Junth this year, he sent us a video. He said, I can't remember exactly what he said. He said, "Happy Junth. I'm on my way to work. Go to work today. Everybody have a good day." >> You did not take off that national holiday. >> No, we did not. We were here working, but it was just those funny little selfie videos he would always send in our chats where most of them would get posted on TikTok or stories or whatever. Um, but >> what? Like you would send videos of himself to the team. >> Just selfie videos, just doing little quick commentary on whatever was happening or just telling a story or giving updates. And it was always those really short ones that I loved the most cuz they were just so funny without trying to be funny. And people loved them. >> That's hilarious. So, it wasn't necessarily for social media, but it was like for all of you. >> Yeah. And we we would post them a good amount, but it was just, you know, it was just kind of a little bit of behindthe-scenes Charlie. >> Yeah. that you know people love to see it. >> A really fun behind the scenes Charlie. So he was a sports fan and the way he would consume it had to be very intense cuz he doesn't have you know other than Saturday you know which he always was strict about taking off you know he didn't have the time to just lounge around watching a game. So the one I'll always remember is uh shortly after I joined uh you know we had the World Cup in uh Qatar and he was all invested in the US doing well and so he was watching the World Cup games on his phone during the show and was reacting to things in the game during the segments. He'd also always have the iPad with him. He always had an iPad with him and he was always watching sports on the side. >> So the Cubs, Erica mentioned the Cubs and did she say the Ducks? big we have flag that we had in the studio for a while. >> Why? As >> it's where his family went to college and he he wanted to inherit a college football team and it was his he was so passionate. >> He would sometimes say you know I I just want to retire and go coach college football. That was what he would say if he was frustrated like I should just quit and go coach college football. >> Same with the Olympics and March Madness. We had iPads set up all around the studio so he would constantly know what's happening in the games. Once you've been president, uh, coaching a sports team seems like a great thing. And that was clearly in Charlie's future. All right, we're going to take a break. We'll be right back. Don't leave. Yep. Your worst nightmare. Your car broke down.

Air Force One is on the tarmac and taxiing for takeoff as President Trump is wrapping up his visit to England. He of course was there for a royal state visit and now is headed back home with still a full slate of things ahead on his agenda. It will be highlighted by Sunday's memorial service for Charlie Kirk in Arizona. The president will be on hand for that. Also expected to be one of the speakers for that particular event. Just hours ago though the commander-in-chief as we continue to watch him take off here wrapping up a news conference with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer. Earlier in the day, the duo also signed an economic cooperation agreement that's worth more than a hundred billion dollars. A majority of the investment could reportedly come from equity firm Black Rockck, and we're talking over 10 years. The British government reportedly expecting the investment package in general to create some 7,600 highquality jobs in industries ranging from clean energy to life sciences. President Trump also using this shared stage with British Prime Minister uh Kier Starmer to share some breaking news about Afghanistan. >> Bram the big air base that one of the biggest air bases in the world. We gave it to him for nothing. We're trying to get it back by the way. Okay, that could be a little breaking news. We're trying to get it back because they need things from us. We want that base back. But one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. So, a lot of things are happening. >> Again, we are watching Air Force One uh taxing towards takeoff as President Trump is preparing to come home to Washington DC. uh he'll have the rest of the day and then of course tomorrow to spend at the White House and then a busy weekend is ahead again as the president will be among many uh he will be the most notable speaker but he'll be among many other notable speakers who are expected to take the podium at Charlie Kirk's memorial service in Arizona. It's going to be in a massive stadium and we're hearing that the attendance is expected to be massive. That's a quick check of your headlines of the day. We'll of course have more throughout the day. Stay tuned to the Charlie Kirk show. [Music] Welcome back everyone. I'm Megan Kelly. I'm sitting here on Charlie Kirk's set and what an honor to be hosting his show today as we simoc cast the Megan Kelly show as well. And I have to tell you, like we've been we've been joking in between the commercial breaks. Like I don't know how it's been here for you guys, but this is the first I haven't laughed this much in a week. >> I don't know. It just feels good to talk about him in a more lighthearted way because that's who he was. I mean, of course, the last thing Charlie would have wanted was for us to be all sitting around feeling sad, especially while talking about him. >> So, to me, this feels like an appropriate way of handling grief, too. Yeah. >> Um I'm joined now by two additional uh staffers for Charlie Danny Phillip and um >> hold on Nate Walker. You're Nate and you're Danny. >> And uh Katherine Loccastro. >> Yeah. And you did all admin. You do all the Abby stuff. It's from the sound of it like admin organiz organizing everything. >> Yes. >> This must be so hard. I How are you handling all this? >> Yeah. Thank you. I mean, um, it's been really special to have the team that we have to lean on each other and, um, get through it together. I think it definitely has been incredibly busy and it's kind of interesting to balance the grief and the busyiness of everything, but um, I think the will to work is contagious and I mean, I'm just following Mikey's lead and Erica's lead and trying to do everything that Charlie would have wanted, which is to keep going and to just work harder than ever. So, um, yeah, definitely busy and Business is a blessing. >> It is. I mean, it's it's amazing. Charlie's life work is keeping everyone occupied in a way that I think is good and is productive. Um, so Nate, tell us what what you did for Charlie. >> Yeah, I was Charlie's um executive assistant. Um, the day-to-day Charlie, make sure he has his food, water, clothes. Um, all the stuff that he doesn't need to think about, I uh would do for him. And uh >> clothes, how do you do clothes? >> Yeah, you figure that out. You uh it was difficult. Not not the easiest job. We have the clothing racks in the warehouse. >> Some days I would just have to guess, figure out what is Charlie going to want to wear today. And uh sometimes I'd be right, sometimes not. But >> well, can I ask you this is um not not to take it to a darker place, but we're all wearing these freedom shirts, the same shirt that Charlie was wearing. Yeah. >> On the day he was killed. >> What is there a story behind this shirt? >> Yeah. So, we uh we usually bring a couple shirts um to the to the campus stops and uh I asked Charlie in the car. I go, "Charlie, what what shirt do you want to wear?" He goes, "I want to wear the freedom shirt." That uh that's not controversial. >> What were the other options? >> I can't I can't remember. >> Like does he did he did he wear like the one that my son has with Trump giving double middle fingers? >> No. No. Twice. Not those ones. >> It would always say something. Never surrender. Here I am. Freedom. It was he he liked his short tagline. >> I was actually when you guys asked if I would wear this on the air, I was so honored and I'm >> I feel like I have such a treasure having this shirt, you know? I this is such a treasure now. Um Danny, what did you do for for Charlie? >> Um so I did like research and prep for him for the show. >> Oh wow. >> Meetings, events. >> That's a heavy lift. >> Yeah. Stuff like that >> because he was meticulous. >> Yeah. And then it would also be like, okay, 5 minutes before the event starts, I need more on this. So >> find more on this specific person or something like that. So it was always something >> like what what did what was he like in that in that way? What like what would interest him? He would be interested in the most specific stuff sometimes and then sometimes he wouldn't care. Um Mikey probably knows about this too, but yeah, he would want very specific details on very specific things that really no one else would think about. >> Then other times he'd just be like, I'm just going to wing it, >> which I got it covered. >> And then you'd probably hear that stuff actually come up in one of the Q&As's on the prove me wrong segments like oh wait a minute actually he needed that >> right? that I mean that's everyone's marveling right now on the internet at Charlie's depth of knowledge about everything. How how can anyone here explain that? How >> Yeah, he was diligent as we said earlier on on the show. >> Was he constantly studying? >> Constantly studying reading a book and his time management was impeccable. If he didn't have time to read a book, he'd have Blake read a book for him, Danny read a book for him, and he'd have people come out and mentor him and talk to him about details and Frank Turk would be here and he would pour into Charlie and Charlie be taking, you know, meticulous notes and study it and then everything was focused towards his campus tours. He wanted to give knowledge that he could glean from the world to all these students across America. >> That's an interesting question. Was the was the were the campus tours the his dominant focus or was it the big student events or was it the show? >> It was it was everything. It was everything and how he was able to manage it all. I I don't think anybody will really know. And he was a he he slept and he still was able to do normal human things while managing a million tasks. >> I can't imagine you trying to get him to like sit down with you and go over logistics when he is this, you know, busy and and important. Corelling him and Mikey was definitely a challenge at times, but sometimes I would say I just need 30 seconds. I have a few things I need to go over. And so, >> did you just send him a video on the group chat? >> I need you. >> Yeah, that would have been helpful. But I just needed a little bit of time to nail things down and we had a good routine. So, >> you know, you seem like somebody who can handle that and not everybody has those executive management skills. So, just meeting all of you, it's very clear. You had a very clear eye for talent and everyone here is so young. I just feel I'm so sorry that you've had such a tragedy at such a young point in your lives. We're going to be right back. [Music] >> Hey, just want to say thank you for your service. >> Yeah, sure. I'm sure you've heard that before, but we want you to know that we understand the freedoms and liberties in this country are because of people like you who served and gave everything for the cause of freedom. We don't take that lightly. So, thank you for everything you've done and sacrificed for us. >> Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. We're ready for our ticket. >> It's been paid. >> People thank me for my service all the time, but I want to thank you for being someone worth fighting for. You make it all worth it. If you really want to thank me and other veterans like me, go to helpdav.org and support disabled American veterans. That is the best way to say thank you and keep our promise to our nation's heroes. >> You can say thank you to our nation's heroes by going to helpdav.org right now or call the number on your screen and give your monthly support of only $19. Your support lets our disabled veterans know you appreciate them and everything they have sacrificed for us. When you do, we'll send you this DAV blanket as a thank you and a reminder that you support those who served. >> When you support DAV, you're showing veterans like me that you were worth fighting for. >> Please call or go online to help dav.org right now. Your support in this moment honors our veteran service. Every person who has taken me on this road to that prison is a freaking Democrat and a Trump hater. >> When former White House adviser Peter Navaro stood on principle, he never imagined it would land him behind bars. >> They demanded that I break the law, >> but he refused to betray Donald Trump or the Constitution and paid the price as a political prisoner. Locked inside a Miami federal prison, Peter found two lifelines, postcards of hope to his fiance, Bonnie Pixie Brener, and a hidden multi-million dollar prison scandal he's now exposing. I went to prison so you won't have to. Peter and Pixie share a riveting prison diary, a heartfelt love story, and a shocking look at injustice in America's prison system. Stand with Peter.

President Trump is headed back to the White House as we speak after wrapping up his Royal State visit in England. In fact, the president taking off just moments ago aboard Air Force One. We're going to show you that video here uh momentarily. The commander-in-chief wrapping up a news conference with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer even before taking off though. And then earlier in the day, the duo signed an economic cooperation agreement worth more than hundred billion dollars. A majority of the investment would reportedly come from equity firm Blackstone over 10 years. The British government also expecting the investment package to create some 7600 highquality jobs in industries ranging from clean energy to life sciences. President Trump using the shared stage with his British counterpart to share some breaking news when it comes to Afghanistan. >> Bram the big air base that one of the biggest air bases in the world. We gave it to him for nothing. We're trying to get it back, by the way. Okay, that could be a little breaking news. We're trying to get it back because they need things from us. We want that base back. But one of the reasons we want the base is, as you know, it's an hour away from where China makes its nuclear weapons. So, a lot of things are happening. Back here at home, a 24 year old is dead after investigators say he killed three police officers and injured two others. Those other two are in critical condition. It's the latest brazen attack involving a 20something to grip the nation. The murdered officers were honored with this procession Wednesday night following their killings during a domestic related investigation. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro condemning the attack and US Attorney General Pam Bondi calling violence against police officers a quote scourge on our society and never acceptable. The suspect was eventually shot and killed by police. The president making headlines from across the pond for his plan to designate Antifa a major terrorist organization. He made that announcement in this truth social post, calling the group a quote sick, dangerous, radical left disaster. The commander-in-chief says he'll also be strongly recommending that the people funding the left-wing group be thoroughly investigated. The self-proclaimed anti-fascist group is known for its various demonstrations that sometimes end with violence and destruction of property. Late night host Jimmy Kimmel is the poster child for the idea that words have consequences. ABC has suspended his late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely over comments he made about Charlie Kirk's murder. The network and other television station groups call Kimmel's comments quote offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse. President Trump chiming into the conversation on Truth Social, calling ABC's announcement great news for America. He goes on to lash out at Kimmel, saying that he was quote uh he has quote zero talent and worse ratings than even Cob Bear, if that's possible. We'll of course continue covering the ongoing changes in late night television. Stay tuned. Just don't expect to see Jimmy Kimmel live anytime soon. Well, things got pretty hot yesterday at the House Oversight Committee's grilling of FBI Director Cash Patel and his handling of various issues including Charlie Kirk's assassination as well as when it comes to those files uh to the various files that have been sought. >> We have released where President Trump is. It's a simple question. Did you tell the attorney general that the president's name is in the Epstein files? >> During many conversations that the attorney general and I have had on the matter of Epstein, we have reviewed >> The question is simple. Who did you tell the attorney general that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files? Yes or no? >> Why don't you try spelling it out? >> Yes or no? Director's the alphabet. >> Yes or no? >> No. ABC. >> Director, it sounds like you don't want to tell us. Did you tell the attorney general that Donald Trump's name was in the Epstein files? Why don't you try serving your constituency by focusing on reducing violent crime in this country and the number of pedophiles that are legally harbored in your sanctuary cities in California? I'll work with you on that. >> Also happening on Capitol Hill, House Republicans could begin debating the latest stop gap measure to keep the government funded through November 21st as soon as today. On Wednesday, the measure cleared a test vote in the House, setting the stage for House Republicans to get the continuing resolution passed. While the GOP conference can move the CR to the Senate if it stays united, Senate Republicans will likely need some Democratic help to keep the government funded.

I'm Megan Kelly sitting in for Charlie and simal casting now on SiriusXM on the Megan Kelly show as well which is perfect for me. That's perfect. The two of us kind of holding hands. >> Yeah. >> And doing the shows together, which is what we did when he was with us. >> Mikey, let me ask you because >> there are a lot of questions in conservative circles now about what's going to happen with the organization because Turning Point's become very important to a lot of people. >> Yeah. >> And >> I I hope there are no turf wars. I hope there's nothing like no, it has to go this way. you know, it has to go that way. I think, you know, choosing Erica to be Charlie's successor is the perfect way to stop all that, >> just to keep it consistent with Charlie's vision. >> But what are your thoughts on how you keep it consistent with what Charlie wanted and keep it going? >> Yeah. >> Without him? >> Yeah. Um, Erica said it the other night. Um, he was a he was an excellent person to pick people. He loved picking people and choosing talent, finding talent, and acquiring talent. and he would want to pluck somebody and bring them on the team if they were good at a job. Um, but I was telling you earlier with Erica that for the first time it I got a little emotional two days ago cuz for the first time when I was talking to her about where the organization's going, how we're going to continue Charlie's legacy, how we're going to really 10x this organization to become what what Charlie inevitably wanted it to become. I I hearing her thoughts and the way she was talking and breaking things down. I felt like for the first time I was speaking to Charlie for the first time again. Um and he told her everything. He private conversations, everything. He was shared with Erica. She knew everything. And from the way she texts to the way she talks and I I can confidently say that I feel like it's Charlie still leading this organization. >> And we just announced it that Erica is going to be the chief executive officer of Turning Point USA. And for the operators, the people that helped run this organization with Charlie, we know we know exactly what he wanted in his meetings, what he his vision was, his push and the event coming on Sunday, we all just keep sending quotes to each other, more people, make it bigger. And it's we it's he's ingrained in us. He's still there. And it's just like every difficult situation, every hard trial that comes up, it's almost like we have a blueprint that Charlie's just embedded into our minds. Can the the event on Sunday honoring Charlie's life, >> it's going to have heads of state. I mean, every administration official like that place is going to be in lockdown, I'm sure, first of all. But have you been overwhelmed with the number of responses? >> It It's touching the amount of responses, not just with the event, but also outside of the event. The amount of people messaging me, everybody on this team, the organization, saying for the first time in 7 years, 10 years ever, this is their first time going back to church. and that they sat in that empty seat that Charlie left in the sanctuary and they turned to their neighbor and they said, "Charlie brought me here." And they and other messages said, "For every Sunday after this, I'll go back for God, but for this Sunday, I'm going for Charlie Kirk." >> Oh, I love that. >> And the the overpouring of responses outside of this event, it's beautiful. But the event specifically, you're right. Every head there's heads of state coming. The entire White House essentially is coming. Yeah. >> It's beautiful. And I I believe when Air Force One lands, there's going to be a lot of people that you guys will see at this event. It's gonna be very beautiful. >> Have you guys been I mean, you knew Charlie so well. You knew him on a date. You were getting his clothes, right? And his his food. >> Have you been surprised at like the worldwide tributes to him, the massive impact that his loss has had? >> Yeah, for sure. Um you you when you're with Charlie every day, he's not Charlie Kirk. He's just Charlie. Um and then you know something like this happens and it just his reach was so big. Um it was bigger than anything I think we ever even realized. Um me personally especially and >> he was just so >> you think you're working for a company not necessarily a cause and then you realize >> something far more profound. >> It's way bigger than um any of us and it's bigger than Charlie. It's uh yeah it's really cool. >> Can I ask you guys like were you How did you get the news last week? Were you here? Yeah, we were. Me and Danny were both there. >> You were Oh, you were there on site with him? >> Uh, on site? Yeah. >> Gosh, Danny, >> I mean, did you worry about security in advance of these events? Because I know Charlie, he said openly he'd been getting death threats. >> Yeah, we always would worry. Um, but it wasn't really our job to worry. We were just kind of more so focused on uh doing what we had to for the team and whoever's job that was. You know, >> we trusted them and everything and we still do. um his team did great. Um so yeah, it was never really we were more so just focused on doing what we needed to uh for Charlie. >> I have to imagine there was a level of disbelief on your part too, just like there was for those of us who weren't there who were watching on TV. >> Yeah. Yeah. Just um just kind of state of shock at first. Yeah. Um >> has it been helpful to come back to the office and like be with each other? >> Yeah, absolutely. I think leaning on each other has been the most important thing through all of it. Um, it's sort of an unspeakable feeling that I think we're all experiencing, but to be able to go through it together has been very, very helpful. >> Do you like I I personally have been surprised at how many people feel this personally. I mean, people openly weeping who never met Charlie and actually who weren't even necessarily fans. Not detractors, but not fans either. And it's, I think, because of the content that's being pushed out that they're getting to know him. Of course, the violence with which he was taken, but also just the content. Do you have somebody going through hours and hours of Charlie tape and like refreshing it for us? Like, how are we getting all this new content? What feels like new? >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Charlie would bank hours of content. He did four hours a day and then on top of that, he was doing five speeches a week. >> He was >> he we were traveling like we were supposed to be in Colorado State today. We're supposed to be in Nashville tomorrow. He would just bank these these speeches and content. We didn't even post all of them. We have so many speeches that haven't even been posted yet. >> Who was he speaking to? >> It would groups. On Friday, he was supposed to be speaking at a church event. Today, he was supposed to be speaking to students at Colorado State. And wow, when we were in Asia, he was speaking to a random group of Japanese people. And at the America Fest equivalent in Korea, um, but to to their point, security-wise, I don't think it matters what the security was. Nothing was gonna stop Charlie from giving his message where it needed to be. >> And he died too soon, but he was always ready to die. Everything he did, he poured into it 100%. He was always dedicated to his work, dedicated to his message. He knew the truth was the truth. He would always say, "North is north, no matter what. It's there's objective truths that need to be shared to the world." And he was ready to share those. when I saw, you know, found out that he'd been wearing a bulletproof vest, I thought to myself, oh my god, like I didn't I didn't even know that it had gotten that bad. >> Yeah. >> Like in terms of the death threats, cuz we all sadly do get death threats in this in the public eye. >> Yeah. >> Um had it escalated prior to last week? >> We've always gotten threats before. Um nobody's ever really acted on them like in this way, but we have received stuff in the past. It's so sick, right? It's like >> that this should be the cost for saying what you believe. >> Truth. >> Now, everybody wants to know what Charlie would think about everything. You know, I'm talking to a lot of people. They say, "Well, what would Charlie think about this? What would Charlie think about that?" And I tried desperately not to answer those questions because it's not up to me to say that kind of thing. Feel like Erica can say that and nobody else can say that. >> Exactly. >> Um, but I do wonder I feel like Charlie would might be happy about the Jimmy Kimmel situation. >> He put out a tweet. I literally I posted on my story today. Jimmy Kimmel isn't funny was a tweet that he posted way back when. >> He was right. He's not he hasn't been funny for a long time. As President Trump would say, >> Rosie's a loser. She's been a loser for a long time. As if it's like a you know, it's quantifiable exactly when she became a loser. And same with Jimmy Kimmel. He was once funny and he's not anymore. >> Not anymore. >> And like President Trump with the anti with the with the Antifa declaration today. >> I thought that was amazing. Like that was a group that Charlie called a lot of attention to >> and obviously may have had some connection to what happened last week. But >> what what do you make of the the Kimmel termination? I love it. It's just indefinite suspension. >> Sweet justice. I think we are all waiting for it. It's it's a shame. I mean Charlie's seeing it and he's loving it. But to only see his reaction to it would have been priceless for all of us who work so closely with him. But >> yeah, we love it. Nobody thinks Jimmy Kimmel's funny anymore. No. So, >> and the ner I mean the nerve of that guy to suggest that that this guy was was MAGA. >> I know. Like disgusting. >> There was no way he was getting away with that. And we're going to talk more about that when Walter Kern joins me next. He's got lots of thoughts. You guys, I think I speak for everyone. I say we are all sending you all of our love, all of our support. I am of course willing to do whatever whatever it takes to keep Turning Point going forward in as robustly and strongly as ever. And I know everybody out there is feeling it in terms of donations. you guys just keep telling us what you need and we'll all be there. >> That's great. >> Much love to you. >> Thank you. >> Uh okay, don't go away because there is a lot to talk about in the actual news and we will talk about Jimmy Kimmel and President Obama's whining. Stay tuned. [Music] [Applause] [Music] >> No matter what you drive, there's only one guarantee it's going to break down. I had a sensor light up on my dashboard. >> There was a popping noise. >> The last thing I remember is just the engine cut out. >> Your next breakdown could be anytime, anywhere, whether you've got the money to fix it or not. >> It was a thermostat. $2,600. >> Seat sensor $1,400. >> But if you've got Endurance, you could never pay out of pocket for a car repair again, no matter how much it cost them to cover it. >> In my first year with Endurance, they covered a $14,000 engine replacement. for Endurance to pay over $7,000 to have my vehicle repaired is phenomenal. >> It was like almost a $6,000 job. If I didn't have Endurance, I would have had to pay for that or just trash the whole car and start again. >> If your car is out of warranty, a transmission can easily cost you $4,000. >> And an engine over $7,000 if you're lucky. >> With Endurance, those parts are covered, plus hundreds more. A bad camera unit, 800 bucks to repair. A bad wheel bearing over $1,000. A new steering rack close to $3,000. Endurance covered it fully. >> From engines to water pumps, electronics to key fobs, Endurance has you covered. >> Plus, you pick the mechanic you trust to do the work. >> It's a totally seamless process going to any certified mechanic. They submit the claim directly to Endurance. They get paid and I'm out the door. >> You trust us to do the work and we trust Endurance to pay us direct. And the best part, your rate stays locked in no matter how many claims you file. After I made my first claim to Endurance, I expected my rate to change and it never did. Like, I have no complaints. >> Endurance has been trusted by millions of Americans for nearly two decades. >> I've had two claims for over $4,600. Less than one year after signing up, Endurance saved me over $7,000. Whether you put 10,000 or 100,000 m a year on your car, if it's under 20 years old, Endurance has you covered.

[Music] Terrence Bates here with your Real America's Voice News Breakak. Thanks so much for being here with us. Just into our newsroom, Erica Kirk is the new CEO and chair of the board for Turning Point USA. It's the organization her late husband Charlie founded. The announcement was made just a short while ago in this news release from TPUSA. The release goes on to say, and this is a quote, "All of us at Turning Point USA have a special role in carrying Charlie Kirk's mantle and completing his vision of bringing us all closer to the Lord and fostering a prosperous country for generations to come." Meanwhile, preparations for Charlie's memorial service this Sunday continue. The event will be held at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Speakers will include President Trump and Vice President JD Vance, as well as Erica Kirk, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of War Pete Hegsath. President Trump headed home after wrapping up his Royal State visit in England. He left there just a short while ago. As I mentioned, he'll be in Arizona on Sunday to honor Charlie Kirk. But first, the commander-in-chief spent the morning making deals. He signed an economic cooperation agreement with British Prime Minister Kier Starmer worth more than hundred billion dollar. A majority of the investment will reportedly come from equity from Blackstone over 10 years. The British government reportedly expects the event the investment package to create some 7600 highquality jobs in industries ranging from clean energy to sciences. President Trump using the shared stage with his British prime minister to share some breaking news about Afghanistan and trying to get back air base. Late night host Jimmy Kimmel is f is the poster child for the idea that words have consequences. ABC has suspended his late night show Jimmy Kimmel Live indefinitely over comments that he made about Charlie Kirk's murder. The network and other television station groups call Kimmel's comments quote offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse. President Trump chiming in to the conversation on True Social, calling ABC's announcement great news for America. That's a quick check of your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates. [Music] Welcome back everyone to the Charlie Kirk show. I'm Megan Kelly. It's completely an honor to be sitting here in Charlie's studio wearing the Freedom shirt and talking with Charlie's staff and about how Charlie lived his life. It's amazing here. Everyone is young. Everyone is energetic. Everyone is, you know, in a weird way upbeat. And by that I mean like they're obviously in deep grief, but they are finding a way to laugh with one another and be with one another and forge forward. And I I will tell you this is the most optimistic I have felt since 8 days ago about the future of Turning Point. I just feel like these people, we are in good hands. Like this organization will go forward and they can do it. Not not only can they do it because they knew Charlie very well and they knew his vision and they'd been doing it, but you can just tell it's a family and they are more committed now than ever to making sure that that this organization stands and grows and becomes even stronger than it is right now. And it's going to be hopefully other than logistically it's going to be easy because they have the support of the world right now. Um, and they also keep getting bits of good news here and there, like last night, uh, the decision that Erica Kirk will take over as the CEO of Turning Point. Just saying it gives me the chills. It's exactly, of course, what Charlie would have wanted. You you know that from the tape you've seen of the two of them in what was one of the most beautiful love stories any of us has ever witnessed. an inspiration even to those of us who've been married for 18 years and are already happily married to do even better to try even harder to make our spouse even happier. Um, and think of what somebody like that can do at the top of this organization in in the name of her husband. I mean, it's it's going to be something to watch and participate in. They need everybody's help. Um, one of the other pieces of good news is that Jimmy Kimmel is no longer on the air and we're absolutely thrilled. We won't miss him at all. And I frankly all the liberal tear crying all over exes only making it better. What's the opposite of salt into your wounds? Sugar? I don't know. Balm. I like it's wonderful to see them upset. I'm sorry, but it's like um Steven L. Miller, uh, who's not to be confused with Steven Miller, the Trump administration senior official. Stephen El Miller, he's been on the show before. He's very clever. He's a great Twitter follow. He tweeted out or posted on X. Um, national media being more upset at Jimmy Kimmel losing his show than they are at Charlie Kirk losing his life is kind of proving the point. I couldn't say it any better than that. That's exactly it. They they're so they're way more upset about this news about this guy, this talking head who's been such a buffoon for so many years doing nothing other than being unkind. I'm trying not to swear. It says right here on the top of my packet. Reminder, no swearing because I'm on Charlie's show now. He's he so wholesome. Um but in any event, being such a jerk for so many years, losing his show, no one cares. Most normal people uh don't care. Walter Kern, do you care? He's my guest now. and joins me via satellite. Walter, your thoughts on Jimmy Kimmel and the leftist meltdown. >> Well, let me say something first. Uh, two months ago, Charlie asked me to be on this show. I had never been on it before. And, uh, I said no. I was too busy. I would get to him this fall. Well, he's not here. and now I'm on his show with him, not on earth, which is a lesson to us all. Don't put things off. Don't take take things for granted and how quickly and terribly things can change. So, uh I'm sorry, Mr. Kirk. >> I uh uh I'm sorry that I delayed too long. Anyway, what do I think of Jimmy Kimmel? Well, I do a little show biz. I write screenplays. I've had movies made in my books. I've written on TV shows. Jimmy, that's showbiz. You weren't funny. You weren't any good. You wished death on half of your audience in not so subtle ways. Hey Weezy, rest in peace. You made a false claim that this case had been cracked and the culprit was MAGA. Other words, half the US public. Now you're gone and you're gone legally and I think legitimately because ABC leases the public airwaves in order to make money and that lease comes with conditions and that is that it serves the public good basically. >> That's right. >> And it wasn't serving the public good. It was it was acting on behalf of a regime. It was acting on behalf of its pharmaceutical advertisers that keep it, you know, that keep it supported. It was slanting not just the news but every joke. It's not cable. Greg Gutfeld is not comparable. He's on cable news. Those are private wires that are laid in the ground. This is the public airwaves, a stage that we give people on the condition that they use it with decency and some sense of fairness and fair play and in the interest of all of us who own it. We own that station. we merely lease it to FCC. >> And now they're finding out they violated their lease that there's a new sheriff in town at the FC FCC who actually is going to start enforcing these rules and regulations. I got to take a quick break, but we're going to pick it up right here when we come back and I'll tell you what Jimmy Kimmel has been saying in response to the news. Don't go away.

[Music] >> Welcome back to this Real America's Voice News Breakak. I'm Terrence Bates. House Republicans could begin debating the latest stop gap measure to keep the government funded through November 21st as soon as today. On Wednesday, the measure cleared a test vote in the House, setting the stage for House Republicans to get the continuing resolution passed. While the GOP conference can move the CA can move the CR to the Senate if it stays united, Senate Republicans will need some Democratic help to keep the government funded. In the meantime, the House also voted down a measure Wednesday that would have censured Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and stripped her of committee assignments. Republican South Carolina Congresswoman Nancy Mace raised the resolution over Representative Omar's recent comments related to Charlie Kirk's death. Republican Congress members Mike Flood of Nebraska, Tom Mcccleintoch of California, Jeff Herd of Colorado, and Corey Mills of Florida join Democrats in voting down the censure measure. While the forsome denounces Omar's comments, they also agree that what she said is protected by the First Amendment. After two days of contentious hearings on Capitol Hill, FBI Director Cash Patel back in the office and trying to put the emotional banter he faced behind him. Things got pretty heated during Wednesday's appearance before the House committee. In fact, the questions range from the FBI's handling of the Charlie Kirk assassination to the release of the Epstein files. >> We have released where President Trump is a simple question. Did you tell the attorney general that the president's name is in the Epstein files? >> During many conversations that the attorney general and I have had on the matter of Epstein, we have reviewed >> The question is simple. Who >> did you tell the attorney general that Donald Trump's name is in the Epstein files? Yes or no? >> Why don't you try spelling it out? >> Yes or no? Director, use the alphabet. >> Yes or no? >> No. ABC. >> Director, >> it sounds like you don't want to tell us. Did you tell the attorney general that Donald Trump's name was in the Epstein files? >> Why don't you try serving your constituency by focusing on reducing violent crime in this country and the number of pedophiles that are legally harbored in your sanctuary cities in California? I'll work with you on that. >> Hey, I'm sorry. >> That's a quick check of your headlines. I'm Terrence Bates. [Music] [Applause] >> The voice of generations is the Charlie Kirk Show. Welcome back to the Charlie Kirk show, which goes on just as Charlie would want it to. He's got millions of fans now across the world and so many who listened to the show and depended on Charlie to bring them the news unfiltered and with his brand of straight talk. And I'm honored to be here doing that for him today. And a shout out to the Megan Kelly show listeners, too, who are listening on SiriusXM and on our pod as well. Um, Jimmy Kimmel wasn't sorry. Okay, we played the soundbite on our show for you yesterday, and I'll play it here now, just for those of you who haven't heard what got him indefinitely suspended. He's fired. We'll see. Unless Disney bends the knee, but right now, it's not looking good for old Jimbo. Um, here's what he said in ST 7. We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang 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. >> So, he's a despicable pig. And he said that when he knew that it wasn't the case, the evidence had been ubiquitous about this person's leftleaning and commitment to left-wing ideology. We've gone through it repeatedly, you all know. Uh, and that all of that was out before Jimmy Kimmel said that on Monday night. Did he come out on the air on Tuesday night and try to correct his lie? No, because it was a lie. It was an intentional misstatement of fact meant to mislead you. It was not a mistake as some leftwing defenders are saying right now on X. And his plan on Wednesday was not to go out and apologize that night either. His plan, according to the Hollywood Reporter, was to go out and claim that he was the victim because it was taken out of context. and he was going to give us the proper context in which somehow his lie about MAGA at a time when MAGA is under greater threat than it's been in quite some time. Um that that he jinned up that hatred during such a time when MAGA's grieving in a way it hasn't been so profoundly since I've known it. Um that that he did that in a way that was just simply out of context. Okay, more lies. And so the station's groups uh from NextStar uh and others, by the way, it wasn't just Nextar went Sinclair went uh to Disney and said, "We're not running this show. We're not going to be a part of this. Not now, not ever. We're not we're no longer going to be complicit in his lies." And the FCC commissioner, Brandon Carr, had said earlier in the day that he wasn't going to tolerate this, that they have an actual duty to uphold the public interest on the airwaves. and Disney caved as it should have. He had no right. That's literally what some are saying. He had a right to be out there with this show. Swallwell, he's an idiot. Um, he had no right and now he's accurately and justly been taken off the air. So, Walter, your thoughts on the leftist claim that this is government interference, which does make it a potential free speech problem? I mean, at least they have it right that when the government's involved, you have a potential First Amendment issue. But I mean my my own thought on it is yes that's right. But government actually here does have a role that's that's actually statutoily prescribed. It absolutely does. Imagine Yellowstone Park a park that belongs to the people. And it grants a license to one particular company to lead tours. But it says, "Hey, there's two things. You can't abuse the wildlife and you can't be mean to the tourists." And then it starts abusing the wildlife and being mean to the tourists. Does the federal government have a right to fire that person or at least threaten them with it? Absolutely. Does that company that wants to keep that lease, that special privilege that allows them to make money, uh, have an interest in getting rid of that tour guide? Absolutely. That's all that happened. The rest is bombast. You have a right to speak and I'm sure he'll have a very popular substack or or or or a streaming channel, but you do not have the right to a stage that belongs to the people of the United States. And the broadcast airwaves, as I said before, are exactly that. They are a resource like water or land, a set of frequencies. >> You know, here's what I want to say about Jimmy Kimmel or Steven Gob for that matter in the podcast lane. Of course, we love it and we've now really made our living in it. I mean, we we've I've been over this lane for 5 years and you're in it, too. So, we love it and it's meaningful and it's the future. We know that. But here's what's so delicious to Jimmy Kimmel. That would that's going to be horrible. Like his recognizing that that's where he has likely to land next is going to be a fate worse than the worst possible outcomes for him because he thinks he's of ABC and Disney. He's used to going to the theme parks and having his rear end kissed. He wants to be at all the right parties and he wants to be the king of television. People are on television think television the only thing that matters. So, he's definitely going to suffer, which is delicious because he's been the king of enjoying everyone else's cancellation for years, for years. just to do a quick search for what he said about Tucker when he got booted from Fox uh for far less controversy than what he just caused >> you there. No, there's no s Walter. That's just that's just me asking for your opinion on it. >> I was waiting for I thought that was the big lead up. I thought that was the drum roll. Listen, let's get some realism in here about show business and about network news and so on. Jimmy Kimmel was on his way out. Trump predicted that he was next after Co Bear months ago. I have a good friend who works in the very small world of late night comedy hosting. Okay, there everyone knew Jimmy was not long for this world. So what he did was he went on a suicide mission at the last minute. He shot his mouth off doing something that would only please the partisans so that he could then pose as a free speech martyr rather than a sad sack toad of a bad comedian. >> Yes, that's exactly right. And it's like it's amazing to me because people are like the speaking of swallow he tweeted out he's a comedian and Scott Adams responded so was Roseanne. Do cartoonists count? Because of course, Scott Adams had Dilbert pulled from him, his comic pulled after he said something too controversial. Roseanne got fired for a tweet. She wasn't even in her lane. He was on the air for Disney. Jimmy Kimmel was. And let's not forget they fired I tweeted this out last night, Walter. Hey, ABC. The mouse fired Chris Harrison, who hosted the Bachelor because a bachelorette was unearthed to have had pictures at an antibbellum themed party years ago. And he said, "Oh jeez, shouldn't we judge her by like the the way we were at the time as opposed to the way we are now?" They fired him. His career never recovered. So why wouldn't they get rid of Kimmel for this? Bill Maher was fired from his show Politically Incorrect if I'm not mistaken because he said something about the 911 hijackers. He said whatever else they were, they weren't cowards because they were willing to die for their cause. Okay. >> Yep. >> He got canned. He got his butt. Sorry, I almost swore. >> I know. We're not allowed. No swearing. It says right here on my list. >> $500 the turning point for every swear that comes out of my mouth. Uh, but they kicked his butt off the air and that's not a swear. And he came back because he was talented, because he had a loyal fan base and he, you know, I was on his show a couple of weeks ago. Jimmy Kimmel can land on his feet if he wants, but I doubt he will because the the real wonder of it all was that Jimmy Kimmel lasted on the air for as long as he did. He was the most some he had some guardian angel. He didn't have to be funny. He didn't have to pull ratings. He didn't have to speak to half America. He was allowed to insult people at will. He actually campaigned on stage. Uh I I just saw a clip this morning of him giving a long talk to Republicans in his audience about why they shouldn't vote for Trump. He wasn't news. He was worse than news. They used him to do things that news isn't allowed to do, like lie. >> Yeah. Exactly. So now he's reportedly very angry. This is what the the trade rags are saying is that Jimmy Kimmel is furious that this has happened to him as though he is a passive victim who is really just martyed here because he didn't do anything wrong. It was just taken out of context and the the mean bad television executives are out to get him. And meanwhile, I just have to get this out. You've got people like on the left, like Ben Stiller, and there are many I could pick on, but I'm going to pick on Ben Stiller here, who decided to tweet out about this, about Jimmy Kimmel's indefinite suspension. This isn't right. Okay, it's not that pointed. Whatever. It's fine. This isn't right. That's his belief. I We went back just to see if he had said anything about Charlie. Nothing. He couldn't manage this isn't right about Charlie Kirk's assassination, but he wants us to feel bad for Jimmy Kimmel. Walter, >> it makes you wonder about Hollywood. Aren't they in the business of amusing and pleasing the American public? Apparently not. For a long time now, they've been curiously not in the business of making money, pulling ratings, being right, making good movies, uh, and addressing reality in those movies. They're off in some Marvel comic book universe. What exactly are they showing solidarity with? I I don't understand it. Do they do they believe they are a guaranteed a future even if they have the wrath of the American? >> They think they're standing up for the First Amendment, which is so ironic given the way they've been behaving for the past six years. They're the ones who back the Biden regime that censored all of us on co on the Hunter Biden laptop. We could go down the list. They were fine with all of that. >> Megan, I'm I you know, you may not agree with this, but the public airwaves, meaning the broadcast networks, which are belong to all of us, were bought by the pharmaceutical industry, who are 70% of the advertising. They were purchased by them and they were used in their behalf. One of Jimmy Kimmel's bits was to make fun of ivormectin as horse paste and claim that anybody who showed up having used it at an emergency room should be allowed to quote rest in peace i.e die. Well, that drug ivormectin was a present danger to Fizer's vaccine that was coming and a way of treating people when there were no other real ways prevaccine. This guy sung for his supper for his masters. It wasn't Jimmy Kimmel speaking when that ugly mouth opened. It was a huge industry that spoke through him. And now he's acting like a free speech martyr because that industry is facing the loss of their right to advertise on TV, which they've only had since the late '9s. And so they're drumming up a big First Amendment case so that they can go on buying the news. And that's how I really feel. >> It's really incredible. I mean, this is the same group of people who wrote like Jeff, uh, the Democratic leader in the House actually wrote a letter to Fox News demanding that they not let Tucker Carlson air his special about the J6 event. And the actively like that's government actively interfering where it doesn't have any right. The FCC actually does have a right. >> And that's the funny thing, Megan. The government which does have a right to intervene with public broadcast networks took that right and extended it into places during COVID and during Trump the Trump era generally where it doesn't belong platforms like Twitter, Facebook and so on. Cable news etc. They tried to be the cops in other people's towns and they succeeded because they intimidated management and they infiltrated it frankly over at Twitter. I mean you just went from the FBI to Twitter management and that's documented. >> True. >> And and and so now they are facing the worm turning. They are facing a public that before Charlie's death was already changing in its complexion >> and now is absolutely outraged. Stand by. We're going to pick it up on the opposite side of this break.
