- 0:00Speaker 1: We got a question for American mamas. Dear mamas, how
- 0:02Speaker 1: can anyone continue to defend Jimmy Kimmel.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas, she said, and.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Jodie is now our American mama. Terry Netderville.
- 0:23Speaker 3: Okay.
- 0:23Speaker 1: So Jimmy Kimmel was on air on Friday of last
- 0:27Speaker 1: week before the White House Correspondence dinner, and he was
- 0:31Speaker 1: doing a mock speech, as a pretend speech, and he
- 0:35Speaker 1: was in making fun of Trump administration officials.
- 0:39Speaker 3: He was roasting them.
- 0:40Speaker 1: It wasn't just you know, a Johnny Carson moment. This
- 0:43Speaker 1: was like as if this was a big roast. And
- 0:45Speaker 1: he said, oh, look there's Milania. She has the glow
- 0:49Speaker 1: of an expectant widow. And then the next night then
- 0:54Speaker 1: someone tried to kill President Trump, and Kimmel's defended Manni
- 0:59Speaker 1: came out. You said, hey, this is unacceptable.
- 1:01Speaker 3: ABC. You got to get him off the air.
- 1:02Speaker 1: You should not have somebody on the air talking about
- 1:05Speaker 1: the death of the president. And Kimmel defends himself says, well, no, no, no,
- 1:08Speaker 1: I wasn't saying somebody should assassinate him.
- 1:10Speaker 3: I was just saying he's old, he's going to die.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Soon.
- 1:14Speaker 3: That's really I mean, that's what he's saying.
- 1:15Speaker 1: He's like, look, I'm just saying, Look, he's almost eighty
- 1:17Speaker 1: years old and she's so much younger, and that's all
- 1:20Speaker 1: I'm saying.
- 1:21Speaker 4: Sure, Yeah, that's exactly what he meant. I'm sure of it. Look,
- 1:24Speaker 4: everybody knows that's not the truth. That may December joke
- 1:28Speaker 4: that he came out and said, I would never I
- 1:30Speaker 4: would never joke about an assassination. You have, you have,
- 1:34Speaker 4: and you also celebrated Charlie Kirk after the assassination. Yeah,
- 1:38Speaker 4: it is a lot of his rhetoric that has caused
- 1:41Speaker 4: a lot of the division. But here's the thing that
- 1:43Speaker 4: people are having trouble with. And Milania has every right
- 1:47Speaker 4: to feel this way about this because she's had somebody
- 1:50Speaker 4: attempt to assassinate her husband now three times.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Right.
- 1:55Speaker 4: Well back in twenty one or twenty two, remember when
- 1:58Speaker 4: Roseanne bar mentioned Valerie Jarrett and said something about she
- 2:03Speaker 4: looks like she's from the planet of the apes, right,
- 2:06Speaker 4: and they forced her to apologize.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Which she did and then canceled her then canceled in
- 2:11Speaker 1: a forty eight.
- 2:11Speaker 4: Hours right, And her response was so genuine because I
- 2:14Speaker 4: saw this Valerie. She said, I didn't even know she
- 2:17Speaker 4: was black. I mean, she looks like my skin color.
- 2:19Speaker 4: But they took that. They canceled her. Her show was
- 2:22Speaker 4: the number one show and it had a conservative slant
- 2:25Speaker 4: to it and.
- 2:25Speaker 3: It was called the Roseanne barsh Roseanne.
- 2:28Speaker 4: Well, they'd rather her voice be muted than have a
- 2:32Speaker 4: number one show. I mean they had an agenda, and
- 2:34Speaker 4: that was to make sure that they didn't have a
- 2:35Speaker 4: conservative president. We know that, so this is ABC. And
- 2:39Speaker 4: then you have Shane Gillis. He was a comedian that
- 2:43Speaker 4: came on. He spoke an Asian accent in one of
- 2:47Speaker 4: his acts.
- 2:48Speaker 3: He was hired by NBC to be on Saturday Line.
- 2:51Speaker 1: Right right, never got to do it because people when
- 2:53Speaker 1: digging back through his Twitter feed in like a decade earlier,
- 2:55Speaker 1: found him doing a joke about a nation.
- 2:57Speaker 4: Yeah, well he was canceled, he was fired or even
- 3:00Speaker 4: got started.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Although he's probably much bigger now he is he is.
- 3:03Speaker 4: Then you have people like Chris Harrison and he was
- 3:06Speaker 4: the host of the Bachelorette and Bachelor of franchise.
- 3:10Speaker 1: Right.
- 3:11Speaker 4: There was a girl she was I think this is
- 3:13Speaker 4: back in twenty one where she came on and she said,
- 3:17Speaker 4: it was discovered that she participated in one of those
- 3:20Speaker 4: Annabellum The Kas have this ball every year. It's like
- 3:25Speaker 4: the It's the South, you know, the South party, and
- 3:31Speaker 4: they dress up in Annabellum gowns. And so Rachel Lindsay,
- 3:35Speaker 4: who was a black bachelorette, said this was racist. She
- 3:39Speaker 4: was racist. Now she needs to be canceled. And all
- 3:41Speaker 4: Chris did was try to defend it. He said to Rachel.
- 3:44Speaker 4: He said, Rachel, they didn't go to this party thinking,
- 3:48Speaker 4: oh yeah, this is for racism. They went to the
- 3:51Speaker 4: party because it was like I'm going to dress up
- 3:52Speaker 4: and you know, go to this ball and look great.
- 3:56Speaker 4: And she said, why is that even?
- 3:59Speaker 3: Okay?
- 3:59Speaker 4: Where where do my people have a role in this?
- 4:02Speaker 4: He said, But you got to think about it in
- 4:03Speaker 4: the lens of twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Not eighteen fifteen.
- 4:07Speaker 4: Well then he got grilled by straight hand on ABC's
- 4:11Speaker 4: Good Morning America. He got canceled after twenty years as
- 4:15Speaker 4: the host. He got canceled for that. He was just
- 4:17Speaker 4: simply trying to say, and he groveled. They made try back,
- 4:21Speaker 4: ye say it like, wait a minute, she didn't mean it,
- 4:23Speaker 4: you know, and of course he was. You don't hear
- 4:26Speaker 4: of him, you Billie Bush. He has his own podcast now,
- 4:29Speaker 4: but he was destroyed because he was a right leaning
- 4:32Speaker 4: and tried to defend Trump. But all of this to say,
- 4:35Speaker 4: all of those people got fired, right, Jimmy Kimmel has.
- 4:40Speaker 4: He has such destructive language when it comes to our
- 4:44Speaker 4: president and the first lady, and we know what he
- 4:46Speaker 4: meant by what he said. And yet he won't be fired.
- 4:49Speaker 4: He won't be but Hollywood is coming to the defense
- 4:52Speaker 4: of him. George Clooney, George Clooney, Jake Tapper, Gail King.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Even, oh my gosh, I'm blinking on his name.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Did the Man Show with him? He was like, yeah, yeah,
- 5:01Speaker 3: So look, it was just like a roast.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Here's the thing, it's not just like a roast, because
- 5:06Speaker 1: a roast only works if you like the person yours.
- 5:09Speaker 1: Go back and watch the Dean Martin Rose with Seemy
- 5:11Speaker 1: Davis Junior and you know all these great comedians of
- 5:16Speaker 1: the past. Those guys loved each other. That's a roast
- 5:19Speaker 1: works if there's actual genuine affection. Yeah, But if you
- 5:23Speaker 1: are roasting someone that you hate, that's not a roast.
- 5:26Speaker 3: That's hate.
- 5:27Speaker 4: Well not only that, but Jimmy Kimmel has dressed up
- 5:29Speaker 4: in blackface. He dressed up as a black fat Oprah. Yeah,
- 5:32Speaker 4: he dressed up and spoky bonnics about who I think
- 5:37Speaker 4: it was? The mailman? Oh no, it was Charles Barkley.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Charles Barklay.
- 5:40Speaker 4: And and nothing ever happens to these people on the
- 5:43Speaker 4: left yet Megan Kelly, who never dressed up in blackface,
- 5:45Speaker 4: just got canceled pretty quick.
- 5:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
