omg... ted cruz BLASTS Trump -- Jimmy Kimmel | Charlie Kirk
FULL TRANSCRIPT
and saying it's absolutely dangerous uh
for the government to determine which
speech is okay and which is not.
>> What's your reaction to techn
is an incredible American patriot with
courage. You know it used to be I
remember in the old days that Trump
doesn't answer would have to get
licensed rellicensed and it was always a
big deal you know they had to show
honesty and integrity. Uh, when you have
a network, again, I'll use the same
numbers, whether it's 90 or 94 or 97,
all different numbers, but when you have
networks that give somebody 97% bad
publicity or 94% bad publicity,
>> Trump punts uh
>> Trump totally punch punts talking about
what Ted Cruz said because Ted Cruz just
came out with the truth. Now, this is
interesting. Ted Cruz slamming the FCC
for threatening
ABC and Disney thereby
for not taking action against Kimmel,
which of course then they did. Ted Cruz,
obviously a Republican, uh slamming the
FCC. Let's let's listen to see what he
says. Kim will be fired. Um I think you
know you could certainly see a path
forward for uh suspension over this. And
again, you know, the FCC is going to
have remedies that we could look at. Um,
and again, you know, we may ultimately
be called to be a judge on that.
>> No, that's a quote from the FCC that
they just played. Let's now listen to
the reaction of theirs.
>> No, no, no, no. Look, look, I like
Brendan Carr. He's a good guy. He's the
chairman of the FCC. I work closely with
him. But what he said there is dangerous
as hell.
>> Yes. uh
>> for hold on for people that are
listening cuz this is going to be quote
controversial. So I want to make sure we
explain it clearly
>> when you say no and it's dangerous
explain and and and run this out the
slippery slope that this can open so
that people understand why we're saying
it.
>> So the Federal Communication Commission
I is in charge of granting broadcast
licenses. So ABC, NBC, CBS, they have
licenses from the FCC. It is true that
under statute they are required to be in
the public interest.
>> What he is saying is Jimmy Kimmel was
lying. That's true. He was lying and his
lying
>> I I obviously dispute that. We made a
whole video disputing that it was a lie.
Not to side with Jimmy Kimmel. He made
insensitive comments about Charlie Kirk.
Charlie Kirk at a at at a terrible time.
So bad timing and insensitive comments.
And it was stupid what Kimmel did. But
he didn't lie. Now, I encourage you and
implore you to watch my breakdown of why
I say this because I think people who
don't watch my full breakdown of why I
say that don't get it. Uh, and what we
did is we did a logical and fallacy and
fact-based breakdown of what Kimmel
said. Now, I encourage you to watch the
whole thing, but I'll give you a very
quick sneak preview. Kimmel said,
long story short, people spent the
weekend claiming that Robinson was
anything other than one of them.
Desperately so, right? All the
amplifiers and modifications of that,
all that doesn't really matter. What
matters is the crux of the argument is
spent the weekend claiming that he is
anything other than one of them, which
means he's basically saying he's not
MAGA. But you have to remember calling
somebody not MAGA does not equal calling
them MAGA. The opinion that comes out of
this is well he was implying that
they're MAGA. No, that assumes there are
only two options. That's like saying
you know Donald Trump spent the whole
weekend claiming he's not white. And
then somebody going ah our fearless
black leader. Wait, no. There are more
choices. This is what's called the
logical fallacy of a false dilemma,
which is an eitheror fallacy.
And it's the fallacy of it's either this
or that. No, you don't have to be if if
somebody is cheering that somebody is
not MAGA. It could be that they're
deranged. It could be that they're a
Zionist or they're part of the Nazi
party or they're part of some other
party. that that doesn't make them MAGA
just because, you know, somebody was
arguing that they're not MAGA. So, I
don't think there was a lie there and
you could watch my full video breaking
that down, but we we'll keep going to
see what Ted Cruz says because what Carr
does is very bad for free speech in
America and for capitalism in America to
the American people is not in the public
interest. And so, he threatens
explicitly,
we're going to cancel ABC's license.
We're going to take him off the air so
ABC cannot broadcast anymore.
>> Yes. Yes.
>> And and I got to say he he he he
threatens it. He says we can do this the
easy way, but we can do this the hard
way.
>> Yeah.
>> And and I got to say that's right out of
Good Fellows. That that that that's
right out of a mafiosa coming into a bar
going, "Nice bar you have here. It'd be
a shame if something happened to it."
And and I got to say, look, I
understand. Jimmy Kimmel has mocked me
so many times I cannot count. the the
corporate media, they are dishonest.
They are liars. I hate what Jimmy Kimmel
said. I am thrilled that he was fired.
>> But let me tell you, if the government
gets in the business of saying
>> what you, the media, have said, we're
going to ban you from the airwaves if
you don't say what we like. That will
end up bad for conservatives. It reminds
me of you and I are both fans of the
Lord of the Rings.
>> Yeah.
>> JR Tolken. It reminds me of like the
ring of power and and it is so
attractive. It's sort of like
conservatives are saying, "Wait, wait.
If we have government, we have power. We
can ban the media. Let me tell you what
will happen going down this road. There
will come a time when a Democrat wins
again."
>> Yep. Exactly. That's exactly what we
talked about in my video this morning.
We literally broke this down in my full
33minute detailed video on why what
Jimmy said was disgusting and he's a
dumbass and we could hate him for it. I
did also break down why it's not a lie.
Now Ted Cruz doesn't do that here
because if you're aligned with the
right, you have to say it was a lie. Now
people are like, "What did you imagine?
It wasn't a lie." Okay, just to to say
that, you know, they spent the weekend
arguing that he's not MAGA. Of course,
because that boosts up the MAGA party.
It unites the party to get more votes
for midterm. That's not a lie. That's
exactly what that's literally what
everybody did after the Charlie Kirk
shooting. Oh my gosh, this is so
terrible. We have to come together. We
need to we need to grow the party. We
need to donate more to political
campaigns and to security and we need to
grow uh the power of the MAGA movement
more. This won't stop the MAGA movement.
That's that's literally what everybody
did. So Jimmy stated a fact. Does yes,
he was not MAGA. Correct. Nobody ever
implied this guy was MAGA. You know, all
weekend long it's he's trans and mental
and a psycho, radical leftist. Like
that's all we heard all weekend long. So
Jimmy was right to make that
observation.
>> Wins the White House.
>> They will get rid of,
>> right? But the next politicians, if the
SEC, the FCC is allowed to make these
threats where they say, "Hey, we could
do this the easy way or the hard way,
you know, we might have to rule on
this."
And then all of a sudden, Bob Iger hears
about this. And the staff at Disney are
like, "Do we really want to risk this
for our shareholders? Do we really want
to be in a fight with the FCC when we
have six plus billion dollar merger and
acquisition deals pending that require
FCC approval? Nah. So you fire them.
That's wrong.
That's a conservative. They'll get rid
of every podcast. They'll get rid of
every silence us. They will use this
power and they will use it ruthlessly.
>> Yes.
>> And that is dangerous. And by the way,
in the Biden administration,
they tried to go after and revoke Fox's
license because they didn't like and
they say correct. And the same thing is
the kind of censorship that you saw with
Meta and and uh Twitter before it was X.
It's all the same. And it was all driven
by
the leftleaning
folks in power then. Everything they say
on Fox is hate speech. I'm sure they say
everything you and I say is hate speech.
It's misinformation. They've defined
anything counter to the leftist
narrative as misinformation. Now, we
just talked about Jimmy Kimmel was
lying. But you know what? It's it's
interesting. Brendan said, "Well, gosh,
they they slandered they slandered
Charlie Kirk and his family." You know
what? If they slandered him, there's
already a remedy. There's a remedy of
defamation. ABC could be sued. And by
the way, you get a defamation lawsuit,
you could pay millions of dollars. Let
that process play out. I think it is
unbelievably dangerous
>> for government to put itself in the
position of saying, "We're going to
decide what speech we like and what we
don't, and we're going to threaten to
take you off air if we don't like what
you're saying." And it might feel good
right now to threaten Jimmy Kimmel.
>> Yeah.
>> But when it is used to silence every
conservative in America, we will regret
it. And and and so again, I like Brennan
Carr, but we should not be in this
business. We should denounce it. It's
fine to say what Jimmy Kimmel said was
deplorable. It was disgraceful, and he
should be off air, but we shouldn't be
threatening government power to force
him off air. That's a real mistake.
>> Ted Cruz, absolutely amazing. Double
take. Like I say, my goal is if
everybody hates me, it means I'm always
focused on the truth because I'm not a
tribalist. I poop on Biden. I poop on
Trump. I poop on like this morning, you
know, I used to poop on that mirin guy,
Steve Mirren or whatever, the the new
Fed guy that, you know, Trump shilled
into there. He's actually good. He's
better than I thought, you know, and so
I'll change my opinion if different
facts and data and commentary come out.
But this Ted Cruz comment was a win. It
is a 100% in alignment with what I said
about the danger of the FCC this morning
in a 33minute video where I broke all of
this down in detail with the clips and
the recordings. This corroborates
exactly what I warned about this
morning, saying this is very dangerous
for our first amendment rights to free
speech because it's not about now. It's
about what happens in the future. Good
job.
>> Knows about this.
>> We'll we'll try a little advertising and
see how it goes. Congratulations, man.
You have done so much. People love you.
People look up to you.
>> Kevin Papra there, financial analyst and
YouTuber. Meet Kevin. Always great to
get your take.
