Jimmy Kimmel RETURNS | Game changer

Oh my goodness. Jimmy Kimmel coming back

was not on my bingo board. Remember, we

have debated this at nauseium on this

channel. Let me give you a quick

background and then give you the news

that well, I mean, you already know

Jimmy Kimmel's coming back and we should

have a conversation about that, what

that potentially means for Trump or

Disney or whatever otherwise. Okay,

here's the thing. Last week, Jimmy

Kimmel said something very stupid.

He made fun of a very divided

moment in America where we highlight

is it okay to kill people because you

disagree with their political opinion or

not. Now that is not equally divided.

There are only maybe I don't know half

percent of loonies who say the answer to

that is yes and then 99.5% of people

like you and I like normal people are

like no like let people say what they

want you have the choice not to listen

or tune into them but don't go kill them

okay it's crazy especially like I you

know you got to give Kirk credit he was

standing for the ideals of being an

American dad this

idea a that if a guy can support a

household, then we can have a full-time

parent at home. I stand for those

ideals, too. I have seven children. For

goodness sakes, Lauren can't do anything

else. No, I'm kidding. Lauren helps a

lot with our designs and property

management and architecture. She's

amazing. I I don't know how she does

seven kids and still works. It's

incredible. But the point is

Charlie Kirk,

he got some uh unfair commentary from

Kimmel at a sensitive time. Now, this

idea that Kimmel lied, we've already

debated. It's abjectly false. You can

watch the video where I use logic,

reasoning, and I break down the sentence

structure of what is said, and it is

clear that Jimmy Kimmel did not lie. He

did not say that the shooter was MAGA.

He did say that MAGA spent the weekend

making sure everybody knew he was

anything but MAGA. But that statement is

also true. That entire weekend, pretty

much all of society was like, "This is

some crazy like anarchist psycho." That

doesn't make them a Democrat. That

doesn't make them a Republican. That

makes them a psycho. Anyway, that's

beside the point. All right. So, that

that catches you up. You watch my

logical breakdown on the channel. you

already know all that. But now he's

coming back and this obviously after

even the Wall Street Journal editorial

board destroyed

Mr. Carr the FCC for basically being a

good fellow's dictator suggesting we can

do this the easy way or the hard way.

We're just going to have to, you know,

decide on revoking your license Disney

or ABC unless you pull this Kimmel guy

or punish him or whatever. So they did.

They suspended him. Now that turns out

to be a temporary suspension and Disney

is playing this off as you know tensions

were really high at the time. So we

decided to take a pause. Now it was

implied that it was over that the show

was done and that was the end of uh this

sort of I don't want to call it

journalism because it's more like late

night comedy than it is journalism. Some

people get kind of the you know what

happened today from these shows. So to

some extent it's journalism,

which is obviously why the FCC is

arguing, hey, you can't lie. Now again,

we think from a logic point of view, he

didn't lie. But then again, what if the

implication

was a lie? Well, again, I don't think

that's what the implication was, but

there are plenty of other people who do.

All right, so we can kind of see where

the arguments are on both sides. The

point is now Kimmel's coming back, and

this is great for free speech. You don't

have to watch Kimmel if you don't want

to. But now you have the choice. I mean,

you have a bunch of other, you know, you

know, people picked up the slogan, we

are Charlie, which is, you know, very,

uh, sort of camaraderish. Uh, after the

shooting, of course, totally reasonable.

After that, people picked up the slogan,

we are Kimmel, uh, to argue that we

stand for free speech. And, and frankly,

I made a very angry video about this

that probably lost subscribers. I just I

I don't look anymore cuz it's not good

for mental health and I want to share my

unfiltered opinion. You see, because you

creators can be manipulated by bot

farms. You get bot farms in the

comments, which you could buy a comment

for like 5 cents. It's kind of

depressing if you're leaving comments

because like people can buy them for 5

cents and shut yours down basically. Uh

but think about it.

Not only bot farms for commentary, but

bot farms around subscribers. So, oh,

you said something good about Trump.

send in a thousand bots to go subscribe

to a channel who says something good

about Trump and then as soon as a person

says something slightly bad, all right,

have half of those 10,000 unsubscribe.

It sends signals in a manipulated way to

creators. Oh, talk about this, not that.

This is why there's a lot of concern

about Donald Trump potentially and the

Republican party taking over the Tik Tok

algorithm. Yes, Democrats were in charge

of like the Facebook and Twitter

algorithm for a while and that was

terrible. We saw what came out of that.

But now we have this risk of it going

too far in the pendulum in the other

direction. Really Tik Tok topic for a

different video. But this Kimmel return

thing is a victory for free speech. It

is a victory. It says that our

constitution actually matters. That you

don't need to be, you know, a bend the

knee shill for uh uh what you know a

dictator wants. I'm not saying Trump is

a dictator. I'm saying like in China

that's what you have to do. you uh

adhere to the allegiance of the

Communist Party and if you say anything

bad about it, you are kicked out of the

party. That's not what America is about.

That's why we have First Amendment

protections. That's why we are the

capitalist country we are now. Are there

problems with that? Yes. Is it a perfect

system? No. Is it the best system? Yes.

for now. Hopefully, we can we can grow

everybody's wealth even more and the

standards of living even more because

there are serious issues right now where

poorer Americans are suffering in this

economy.

See, I you know, I was talking about

this a little bit yesterday. What we

really need is education so people can

graduate high school with a skill like a

tech skill, a trade skill, whatever,

something that makes money, right? We

don't have that today. And the reason is

because politicians don't think long

term because they don't need to. That's

why it's so important.

You know what's happening with this

Kimmel situation? Politicians have to

realize that long term if Kimmel is

threatened off the air, what is that

going to mean long term? Just like Ted

Cruz says, what does that mean long term

when Democrats are in power again?

Why don't politicians today in the same

regard? Why don't politicians today

invest in education? because it's going

to take five to 20 years to see the

dividends of investing in education. So,

of course, it's not popular to the party

now. It's more popular to send out stim

checks. So, these are all unfortunately

issues that are features of the American

uh political system that actually China

doesn't have because, you know, China

always tries to take the long-term view

because their power remains for the long

term. So, they have sort of that luxury

to play in for the long term. But it

also comes with too much central

planning which which leads to the

failures of central planning like we saw

with their real estate bust. There are

also excesses in capitalism like we saw

with the real estate bust in 2008. So it

can go both ways. That said, the return

of Kimmel,

whether you watch him or not, I never

used to watch. Whether you watch him or

not is a is a win for America. It's a

win for the First Amendment. And it

shows that in the future when Democrats

are in power, it's not going to be okay

to strip First Amendment protections

from anyone. You know, it's kind of like

remember when Trump got kicked off of

like Twitter and banned from multiple

platforms. We don't stand for that. Like

let people have a voice whether you

agree with it or not.

I am still concerned that in the longer

term we'll end up seeing some influence

on platforms like YouTube where we just

won't be able to speak as freely like

this. And I do get nervous about that.

Right now I'm very grateful about

YouTube because I feel like we don't

have that issue. But we'll see. Anyway,

thanks for watching. We'll see you in

the next one. Goodbye. Good luck out

there.
