Can you please pull up the clip of Jimmy Camel on him being back on day one?
00:00:04.740
A lot of people thought it was going to be Newsom being on his first show, but it wasn't.
00:00:10.340
After being announced that he's coming back, opening show, everyone's wondering,
00:00:18.220
I said, I think he has to, or else they're not going to bring him back,
00:00:28.700
I don't think what I have to say is going to make much of a difference.
00:00:33.780
I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind.
00:00:36.360
But I do want to make something clear, because it's important to me as a human,
00:00:39.840
and that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.
00:00:54.020
I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed, sending love to his family.
00:01:02.240
Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was,
00:01:10.040
That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make.
00:01:13.300
But I understand that to some that felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both.
00:01:17.840
And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you're upset.
00:01:22.300
If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way.
00:01:26.020
I have many friends and family members on the other side who I love and remain close to,
00:01:34.960
I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone.
00:01:38.740
This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution, and it isn't ever.
00:01:45.840
And also, selfishly, I am a person who gets a lot of threats.
00:01:54.480
I get many ugly and scary threats against my life, my wife, my kids, my co-workers,
00:02:01.500
And by the way, I'm sure he does, and I don't want any of that on him either.
00:02:07.680
I'm going to ask you guys if you guys think it's sincere or not.
00:02:14.260
Why not, for you guys, as you're going through this,
00:02:18.800
if you truly, Bob, want to show that this is a new you,
00:02:22.260
because of ratings, Rob, if you show the ratings.
00:02:24.560
Brandon Carr, you know, I think that's the gentleman's name.
00:02:27.560
Yeah, he came back and said, you know, this being taken down,
00:02:34.940
But the reality of it is, this is Jimmy Kimmel's ratings, guys.
00:02:38.900
I mean, from the moment he comes in, he went from .71 to...
00:02:49.020
And it's at the lowest of the lowest of the lowest.
00:02:53.660
Zoom out a little bit, Rob, just to show the other ones.
00:02:59.280
Colbert is the late show, and the tonight show is with Fallon.
00:03:27.000
Do you realize, you guys, not you guys, do you realize why this is?
00:03:39.880
In business, when you look at case studies, and you try to see one that's doing well,
00:03:44.800
is Gutfeld a more talented comedian than Fallon?
00:03:51.620
Because he's talking to an audience that they're not making fun of.
00:03:55.280
And all you're doing is making fun of the conservative audience.
00:04:00.800
Fallon, Kimmel, if you truly want to do this, you know what would be great?
00:04:12.080
By the way, Jimmy, it's going to get you 30 million views.
00:04:35.960
Not 80%, not 99% because all your interviews are on the left.
00:04:42.160
You brought the pillow guy before, Jimmy Kimmel.
00:04:52.220
So if Bob Iger truly is leading, because, Bob, Michael Eisner called you out.
00:05:07.960
Even though I'm a fan of your story on how you went for 41 years at ABC, being where
00:05:12.420
you're at, and where ABC is now today, not ABC, Disney is at today.
00:05:21.740
And then now on you, look what Disney's going through.
00:05:24.360
So if you guys truly want to make a statement that, hey, we are for America, like American
00:05:29.760
kids also like Disney, we grew up watching Disney movies in Iran, you know, all of them
00:05:40.780
You have a shot at getting back to being for everybody.
00:05:46.320
Out of all the guests, this is a timeline that they had.
00:05:50.000
Colbert, 176 liberal Democrats, one conservative.
00:05:56.040
Camel, 58-2, Fallon, 41-2, Trevor Noah, 7-0, James Gordon, 4-0.
00:06:04.680
Your business model sucks, and everybody noticed it publicly.
00:06:16.200
And make a decision collectively, the booking team.
00:06:20.500
For every one we bring on the right, we bring one from the left.
00:06:26.680
See, the problem with us is, people are like, why don't you invite Don Lemon?
00:06:52.640
How is Jubilee, a bunch of regular guys destroying you?
00:06:57.320
They don't agree with all the conservatives, but they say yes.
00:07:05.960
Kimmel, Fallon, and Seth, invite conservatives.
00:07:09.500
They will show up because they're not afraid of the camera.
00:07:23.440
You invite them and see what it does to your show.
00:07:25.940
And by the way, within 90 days, it won't even take that long.
00:07:34.060
But I know you won't because you guys are scared on the inside.
00:07:40.540
God forbid all the liberal people on the inside start storming out and saying,
00:07:46.260
I'm leaving all these scared people to talk to others.
00:07:52.500
By the way, Jimmy, I respect you for coming out and saying it.
00:07:55.940
And Bob, I respect you for letting him know, here's the line.
00:08:00.960
If you don't come out and say something, you ain't coming back.
00:08:03.880
Because he had to do that because, Bob, you gave him an option.
00:08:08.960
Vinny, I know you have different feelings, and I want to hear your thoughts as well.
00:08:13.320
But I kind of want to share that with everybody.
00:08:17.300
You just gave fantastic free business advice that they are never going to take.
00:08:24.580
These guys are the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.
00:08:28.800
And if you think for two seconds they're going to do something that's going to change
00:08:32.380
to go for the positive, we're all delusional, Pat.
00:08:34.960
They're getting money from all this big pharma and all these donors.
00:08:40.280
As a Christian, I will accept your apology 1,000%.
00:08:46.940
But I'll accept your apology if you actually say, I am sorry.
00:08:54.200
Not one time did this political hack, unfunny, unfunny.
00:09:12.720
And that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.
00:09:24.880
Tell me what you mean that's exactly what he did.
00:09:27.280
He said he didn't want to make intention to make light of the murder.
00:09:31.600
He was cracking jokes about how Trump responded.
00:09:33.520
He was saying, and I quote, the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.
00:09:44.540
And then yesterday he goes, I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone.
00:09:59.260
You know why they didn't want him to come back on, Tom?
00:10:01.280
Because he said he wanted to go back and go after MAGA even more.
00:10:12.560
All I've been seeing is all the celebration of the pillow guy, Mike Lindell, of Donald Trump, of Roseanne.
00:10:19.200
These people are the biggest hypocrites in the history of the world.
00:10:25.400
Pat, as a businessman, you're giving them the model.
00:10:41.460
Yeah, and how long are they not learning to listen?
00:10:43.240
Their lesson, they're still projecting that LGBTQ stuff.
00:10:46.160
They're still trying to groom the kids in their videos.
00:10:51.480
Budweiser puts Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender, like, as if that was going to work.
00:10:58.600
I will, Pat, I swear to you, anybody that looks at me in the face and says,
00:11:10.020
But I do think, did he not, when it happened, tweet about it or say something about it, Rob?
00:11:15.620
Why do I feel like he said something about it when that day it happened?
00:11:19.460
Well, he said in his monologue that he had put something on Instagram.
00:11:28.020
But, Pat, you know, it's going to be back to business, talking crap about Trump.
00:11:38.320
And I'm telling you, just because he's not celebrating and whatever, if God forbid something
00:11:42.380
happened to the president, those people are throwing parties.
00:11:47.360
These people, the Keith Olbermanns and all of them, Keith Olbermann's at the top of the
00:11:52.060
But all these people, Pat, they are captured by something different.
00:11:57.520
So is this the one that says, instead of angry, finger pointing, can we just one day
00:12:01.300
So on behalf of my family, we sent our love to Kirk's mom.
00:12:09.740
And that's the part that, you know, Sinclair and others pulled the show and they said,
00:12:16.180
So if I gave an apology like that to my wife on something, it was never my intention.
00:12:23.140
What I really meant to do, she's waiting for me to look at her and say, hey, I'm really
00:12:29.900
I was, that was just, and then say, you know, Kim, it never was my intention, but that's
00:12:42.060
I saw some emotion in Jimmy, but I don't think Jimmy wants to be out there.
00:12:46.620
He was very, he was apoplectic and he was very clear.
00:12:50.940
You don't believe he feels bad for a 31 year old father of two getting killed?
00:12:55.400
Do I think when he steps back and does he feel bad for that?
00:13:07.220
I think he was, I think there's a lot of emotion inside him because I think there's
00:13:12.720
a lot of confusion on the left at the strength of the response they got.
00:13:21.860
They've never had to be called into account for those guest counts.
00:13:25.060
They've never had to be pushed to the edge and say, why don't you have equal time?
00:13:29.280
And instead, you know, do I think, you know, I don't have disdain for what Jimmy just said.
00:13:41.460
I just, I guess the word Pat is, I don't think it was complete.
00:13:46.840
And I think, does he have some real emotion and thinking about what really happened when
00:13:52.420
he gets back past of the, uh, the propagation and then, and, and, uh, the IRA has for MAGA?
00:14:01.060
But I think he was also staring into the abyss of a career.
00:14:10.300
He was probably not in some very, you know, productive conversations.
00:14:14.560
Well, according to Disney, they don't have a renewal offer on the table and the ratings
00:14:19.160
Uh, and I look at that and I'm like, you know, come on, Jimmy, this is an opportunity
00:14:23.840
at this point in your career to make a full throated apology and then to take a look at
00:14:29.680
it and, and just don't take anybody's word for it.
00:14:32.860
Don't listen to what you just said, Pat, what you just said was so eloquent, but look at
00:14:39.140
Look at what other people are saying and saying, wait a minute here, is there an opportunity
00:14:43.600
And right now I feel like they're kind of trapped in the echo chamber and they are cornered
00:14:48.600
by the tigers and the hyenas on the left, which were the pets they adopted.
00:14:53.980
And now those pets have grown up and they don't know how to handle them and they're trapped.
00:15:01.020
I saw a motion there that, uh, I feel was authentic, but really what's behind it.
00:15:07.920
The real guy was the guy that said, no, I'm going to go out and I'm going to double down
00:15:16.060
That's, that's a guy that's not looking to have a conversation.
00:15:18.760
That's a guy that's not looking to take the road like Van Jones talked about.
00:15:23.160
Did he apologize for during COVID saying, Hey, if you're vaccinated, come into the hospital.
00:15:28.200
If you're not, die, go ahead and die because you're not vaccinated.
00:15:36.120
Has he apologized for saying, Hey, if you didn't take this experimental drug, go die outside of
00:15:40.500
a hospital, I think, I think I, I, I agree with that on that, that, that he did go to
00:15:47.060
What I want to isolate here is Adam, what thoughts do you have with this year with Jimmy?
00:15:50.480
Well, Jimmy led off by saying, look, I know that this show is not important.
00:15:54.000
And then he went on to kind of give like a monologue.
00:15:56.300
I think he would have just stopped right there.
00:15:58.320
I know that this show is not important period because the show really isn't that important.
00:16:05.680
And Vinny kind of touched on this and I'll go deeper.
00:16:08.320
Remember, TDS, Trump derangement syndrome is a real thing.
00:16:15.800
Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.
00:16:23.160
In 2020, Biden showed up and they pretty much were, but then they fumbled the ball, the Biden
00:16:28.880
administration, Kamala Harris, and lo and behold, Trump came back.
00:16:32.540
And the Trump derangement syndrome, which was sort of like simmering, came back full throated
00:16:44.700
Like we can't just kind of move past like they're like, what?
00:16:49.420
Like it's because it's true because a lot of it is just completely irrational emotion,
00:16:56.580
And when you talk about having anyone on the show from the right, whether it's Erica Kirk,
00:17:02.480
God forbid, whether it's Trump himself, Fallon had Trump on.
00:17:10.800
But when you make the statement that he is Hitler, they're all Nazis, they're all fascists,
00:17:19.980
you're not going to invite Hitler onto your show.
00:17:25.120
Tonight we got Mussolini, Stalin, and Adolf Hitler.
00:17:31.580
They're never going to happen because that's what they think that they're at.
00:17:34.660
And when you think that Trump can never tell the truth, that any word that comes out of
00:17:41.880
his mouth is a lie, there's an inability, inability to acknowledge that he can do anything
00:17:54.720
People from the right, look what Charlie Kirk did.
00:17:57.500
He's inviting people to debate, open discussion, dialogue.
00:18:01.840
Even the message that he sent to Van Jones before he was assassinated, you don't see people
00:18:09.000
Can you show those stats one more time, Rob, about the percentage?
00:18:15.140
When it's 99%, that one, 99% liberals or Democrats, at least the Daily Show is like batting 10% that
00:18:27.100
But everybody else, I mean, it's just so, so left.
00:18:33.420
For all of you guys that were going through the Faith Over Fear shirt that, by the way,
00:18:44.320
For people to have that kind of boldness, to put that out there, Vinny, got to respect it.
00:18:50.480
You're letting everybody know who you are on the front, and you're letting them know I have
00:18:54.180
And I got so many Menecs and so many DMs from girls that are like, you never have anything
00:19:04.540
We'll have other colors coming, but for right now, we have a teal shirt for the women with
00:19:13.040
We have the hoodie because it's going to, you know, the season's changing.
00:19:19.140
Place Your Faith Over Fear, jackets, shirts, ladies, get a gift for your wife.
00:19:26.820
