00:00:00.000 Jimmy Kimmel admits repulsive liberal scolds
00:00:05.040 are driving people away from the Democratic Party.
00:00:08.580 He admits, and here's what he had to say.
00:00:10.440 And he's on the podcast with Sarah Silverman, right?
00:00:13.140 That's the other girl. 0.98
00:00:14.660 Yeah, go ahead, Rob.
00:00:16.080 It's the loud voices that scare people
00:00:20.600 from saying what they believe
00:00:22.180 and make you think twice about a joke or whatever,
00:00:26.960 you know, these things.
00:00:27.740 And, you know, a lot of their points are valid,
00:00:30.480 but a lot of them are also just repulsive.
00:00:33.320 And I mean, in that they repel people from,
00:00:36.080 they go like, oh, you're no fun.
00:00:37.520 I don't want to be around you.
00:00:38.680 And I think that if you had to boil it down to like one thing,
00:00:42.020 that's kind of what it is.
00:00:43.640 It's like, oh, you're no fun.
00:00:45.660 I don't want to be part of your group.
00:00:47.480 Yeah, you know, it's funny.
00:00:48.840 First of all, Sarah Silverman needs a better audio person
00:00:52.360 that's working for her. 0.55
00:00:53.280 How horrible was that?
00:00:53.960 That was pretty pathetic.
00:00:55.220 Maybe she needs to manet a couple of our guys here. 1.00
00:00:58.520 But I would tell you this when I'm hearing that.
00:01:01.740 I responded back to Kimmel,
00:01:03.340 and this is what I had to say.
00:01:04.800 I have no problem with Kimmel having opinions
00:01:07.000 about any of these things.
00:01:09.140 But here's what I said.
00:01:10.500 I said some unsolicited advice for you.
00:01:12.760 If you wanted to be a pundit,
00:01:14.700 go to CNN or MSNBC and share your opinions.
00:01:17.740 But your job as a late night host
00:01:19.560 is to entertain Americans
00:01:21.080 who are burned out with divisive politics.
00:01:24.860 You failed miserably.
00:01:26.680 People don't have a problem with Jimmy Kimmel's opinions.
00:01:29.600 People don't have a problem with Stephen Colbert's opinions.
00:01:32.720 They have a problem that your job wasn't that.
00:01:36.520 And that's why you failed miserably.
00:01:39.500 You failed.
00:01:40.120 So I want Jay Leno.
00:01:42.040 I found a picture the other day of me
00:01:43.880 going to a Jay Leno show,
00:01:45.900 and luckily I was able to get in
00:01:47.220 because they thought I was 16
00:01:48.400 while I was only 14 years old.
00:01:50.060 And I took a picture with the guy.
00:01:51.780 And they said, who's here?
00:01:53.300 We screamed out.
00:01:53.980 We came here from Vancouver.
00:01:55.040 We have no clue where Vancouver is.
00:01:56.880 We went up on the stage
00:01:58.200 and we took a picture with Jay Leno.
00:02:00.600 We're like, oh my God, we met Jay Leno.
00:02:02.240 It was so funny.
00:02:03.480 I wouldn't, we were one of those guys
00:02:05.520 that would go stand in line to listen to Leno.
00:02:07.600 Maybe I got to bring the pictures next time
00:02:09.560 to show it to you.
00:02:10.540 What's the point here?
00:02:11.920 Their job is to entertain.
00:02:13.780 Their job is to make us laugh.
00:02:15.240 Their job is to make us sit there 0.80
00:02:16.980 and be like, oh my God, that's so funny.
00:02:18.580 Ah, that's hilarious.
00:02:19.400 That's good.
00:02:20.000 And all of a sudden,
00:02:20.980 if you don't take the vaccine,
00:02:22.780 if you don't do this,
00:02:23.920 if you vote for Trump,
00:02:24.980 if you do that, you know what?
00:02:27.040 Just go work at MSNBC and work with Maddow.
00:02:29.960 Just go to CNN.
00:02:31.080 It's okay.
00:02:32.020 Nothing wrong with that.
00:02:33.560 But your job wasn't that, Jimmy.
00:02:36.180 Neither one of you.
00:02:37.180 Your job wasn't that, Colbert.
00:02:38.740 That wasn't your job.
00:02:39.880 Tom, your thoughts on this whole thing
00:02:42.000 with Jimmy Kimmel.
00:02:43.540 Well, Jimmy, you bought into it.
00:02:46.420 You made it your own,
00:02:47.700 but you got used, buddy.
00:02:49.020 You are responsible for who you are
00:02:50.980 and who you became and what you did,
00:02:52.700 but you got used
00:02:53.800 because the whole ABC network
00:02:55.920 was 100% behind Kamala,
00:02:57.780 100% anti-Trump in 2016,
00:02:59.960 and you bought into it
00:03:01.860 and you guided that.
00:03:03.100 If you had held a little bit
00:03:04.840 of your independence, buddy,
00:03:06.380 you know, you could have been
00:03:07.800 a different guy.
00:03:09.020 But look at all of them
00:03:10.520 that became better.
00:03:11.280 Kimmel, so bitter.
00:03:12.840 Colbert became so bitter.
00:03:14.340 And he had the dancing COVID things.
00:03:16.600 My gosh, you were a propaganda machine
00:03:18.380 for the government
00:03:19.640 that's now been widely discredited.
00:03:20.800 You know, I just think
00:03:23.000 it's so ironic,
00:03:24.720 and Rosie O'Donnell, too,
00:03:25.960 this past weekend,
00:03:26.620 it's so ironic
00:03:27.720 that everybody now is saying,
00:03:29.720 wow, it's not the party,
00:03:31.880 it's the loud voices
00:03:32.760 that scare people.
00:03:33.960 You were one of the loud voices.
00:03:35.960 What are you talking about?
00:03:36.780 You were a loud voice
00:03:37.780 that was on a prime time,
00:03:40.920 it's not prime time,
00:03:41.820 a prime network
00:03:42.840 in that late night zone
00:03:45.200 where people were watching.
00:03:46.840 Not very many now,
00:03:47.880 but at the time there was initially,
00:03:49.760 and now you're like
00:03:50.940 out there saying these things.
00:03:52.640 Dude, you did it to yourself.
00:03:53.960 You didn't have enough spine.
00:03:55.100 At a point where you had audience,
00:03:56.920 you could have had
00:03:57.560 a little bit of spine,
00:03:58.700 but you went with it,
00:03:59.900 you made it your own,
00:04:01.040 you became bitter like Colbert,
00:04:02.840 and now you sit and you say,
00:04:04.480 oh, you know,
00:04:05.480 it's the loud voices.
00:04:06.720 You were one dude.
00:04:07.740 It's your fault.
00:04:08.520 And by the way,
00:04:08.920 him and Sarah Silverman
00:04:09.860 apparently used to date
00:04:10.680 for like seven years.
00:04:12.280 Adam, your thoughts on this?
00:04:13.220 Well, it's almost like
00:04:14.200 people forgot
00:04:14.900 what the hell their job was.
00:04:16.220 A journalist's job 0.99
00:04:18.640 was to report the news.
00:04:19.800 They turned into an activist.
00:04:21.180 An actor's job 0.72
00:04:22.080 was to do movies and do shows.
00:04:23.620 They turned into activists.
00:04:25.380 Entertainers,
00:04:26.140 make us laugh.
00:04:27.120 Comedians,
00:04:27.920 entertain us,
00:04:28.880 make us laugh.
00:04:29.900 Activists,
00:04:30.800 musicians,
00:04:32.020 play music,
00:04:32.900 people enjoy.
00:04:33.700 Activists.
00:04:34.480 It's almost like
00:04:35.120 all these people
00:04:36.360 forgot what the purpose
00:04:38.120 of their job was,
00:04:38.920 and they became
00:04:39.340 political lecturers,
00:04:40.660 and half the country
00:04:41.760 was like,
00:04:42.740 dude, I'm done with you.
00:04:44.320 Jimmy Kimmel,
00:04:45.120 Stephen Colbert,
00:04:46.000 Howard Stern,
00:04:46.760 and what happens is
00:04:47.900 we're going to see
00:04:48.680 one by one,
00:04:49.500 bing, bing, bing, bing, bing,
00:04:50.860 Stephen Colbert gets canceled.
00:04:52.480 Howard Stern's
00:04:53.120 going to be off the air.
00:04:54.480 Jimmy Kimmel,
00:04:55.220 you're next, buddy,
00:04:56.120 and we'll see
00:04:56.820 who the next man up.
00:04:58.080 This country
00:04:59.580 is coming back
00:05:00.720 to normalcy.
00:05:01.740 I mean,
00:05:02.740 Adam,
00:05:03.080 great points.
00:05:03.700 Tommy,
00:05:04.120 and I'm going to piggyback,
00:05:05.340 and I think these guys,
00:05:06.600 especially somebody like him,
00:05:07.960 they sold their soul.
00:05:09.220 Like Jimmy,
00:05:10.160 honestly,
00:05:11.160 Kimmel used to be
00:05:12.260 on the opposite.
00:05:13.360 He was on the man show.
00:05:15.360 Disgusting,
00:05:16.020 perverted, 0.79
00:05:16.960 you know,
00:05:17.240 that whole,
00:05:17.920 you know,
00:05:18.180 you want to talk about MAGA,
00:05:19.500 that,
00:05:20.000 in their sense,
00:05:20.980 you were that guy.
00:05:22.040 That was the good stuff
00:05:22.860 back in the day.
00:05:23.460 By the way,
00:05:24.060 racial comedy.
00:05:25.040 Blackface, 0.99
00:05:25.400 come on,
00:05:25.880 let's bring that back,
00:05:26.760 Jimmy.
00:05:27.120 Listen,
00:05:27.420 when you sell your soul,
00:05:28.720 and you're a shill
00:05:29.460 for the other side,
00:05:30.500 you can get away
00:05:31.360 with everything,
00:05:32.820 and anything.
00:05:33.600 Notice,
00:05:33.920 if it was anybody else
00:05:34.800 from the other side,
00:05:35.800 all that stuff would have
00:05:36.640 surfaced.
00:05:37.160 He made fun of Oprah.
00:05:38.180 He literally was black body.
00:05:40.520 The hell with just face
00:05:41.420 when he did,
00:05:42.480 was it Karl Malone?
00:05:44.060 He did Karl Malone.
00:05:44.860 It wasn't Shaq,
00:05:45.580 it was Karl Malone.
00:05:46.260 Yeah,
00:05:46.420 it was Karl Malone.
00:05:47.120 And that's the thing,
00:05:47.820 and you made a great,
00:05:48.540 one of the greatest rebounders
00:05:49.240 of all time.
00:05:49.380 And then on top of that,
00:05:50.440 I mean,
00:05:50.620 he works for ABC.
00:05:51.980 Who do you think runs ABC?
00:05:53.780 Those are those people
00:05:54.540 that were pushing that nonsense,
00:05:56.420 and listen,
00:05:57.300 he has to do it.
00:05:58.640 Guys,
00:05:59.020 you sign the contract,
00:06:00.200 you sell your soul,
00:06:01.200 he has to.
00:06:01.820 Remember what he said
00:06:02.560 about people
00:06:03.060 not taking the vaccine?
00:06:04.620 He said,
00:06:04.780 if you go to the hospital,
00:06:05.700 next,
00:06:06.780 next,
00:06:07.520 go like die, 0.99
00:06:08.860 wheezy.
00:06:09.400 He basically said to die.
00:06:10.380 Let me have 30 seconds
00:06:11.500 with Vinny real quick.
00:06:12.260 Yeah.
00:06:13.380 When they sell their soul,
00:06:14.960 what do they get in return?
00:06:16.560 Not a damn thing.
00:06:17.620 What do you mean?
00:06:17.980 They get fame.
00:06:18.900 He gets fame and money.
00:06:20.080 He gets fame and money.
00:06:20.940 They get money.
00:06:21.380 Yeah,
00:06:21.520 but he's never going
00:06:22.040 to get that back.
00:06:22.800 You're done.
00:06:23.360 I'm going to tell you
00:06:23.800 a quick story.
00:06:24.440 For now.
00:06:24.960 We were in LA.
00:06:25.740 Yes.
00:06:26.680 The last night there,
00:06:27.720 I snuck off like an outdoor cat
00:06:30.080 and went to a little house party.
00:06:33.160 I will not say the name
00:06:34.640 of the influencer
00:06:35.840 whose house it was
00:06:36.600 because he was an awesome guy,
00:06:38.460 and I don't want to put him out there,
00:06:39.640 but the house was incredible.
00:06:41.860 I walk in.
00:06:42.500 Hey,
00:06:42.700 how you doing?
00:06:43.540 You know,
00:06:43.860 there's 20,
00:06:44.840 25 people.
00:06:45.440 There's not a big thing.
00:06:46.360 Goats.
00:06:46.660 And our old friend there,
00:06:47.860 the boxer,
00:06:48.320 I won't say his name was there.
00:06:49.480 I walk in
00:06:50.360 and I greeted very nicely.
00:06:52.460 Hey,
00:06:52.640 how you doing?
00:06:53.200 I walk in
00:06:54.720 and it's the exact opposite
00:06:56.100 type of conversation
00:06:57.040 that I was expecting.
00:06:58.560 The argument was
00:07:00.100 amongst people,
00:07:01.300 black,
00:07:01.660 white,
00:07:01.980 who should be able
00:07:03.680 to use the N word?
00:07:04.640 Oh God.
00:07:05.960 They go,
00:07:06.480 Hey,
00:07:06.920 we got a famous podcaster here.
00:07:09.040 Walk in.
00:07:09.520 What do you think?
00:07:10.120 I'm like,
00:07:11.100 I ain't getting involved
00:07:12.020 in this conversation.
00:07:13.300 The owner of the house
00:07:14.340 is sitting there
00:07:15.020 and I say to him
00:07:16.100 almost jokingly,
00:07:17.000 like,
00:07:17.320 you might want to leave
00:07:18.740 for this conversation.
00:07:20.020 You don't want to get canceled.
00:07:21.320 He goes,
00:07:21.560 you know what?
00:07:22.400 I'm out.
00:07:23.340 Goes upstairs.
00:07:24.140 He goes,
00:07:24.540 I got way too many brand deals
00:07:26.100 on the table.
00:07:26.880 I got way too much going on
00:07:28.260 to get caught up
00:07:29.240 in this nonsense.
00:07:30.180 What's my point?
00:07:31.960 He just left the room.
00:07:32.880 He didn't have to say anything,
00:07:34.120 but a lot of times
00:07:35.200 people sell their soul
00:07:36.660 for money,
00:07:37.380 for fame,
00:07:37.940 for this,
00:07:38.360 for that.
00:07:39.340 It's a wild world out there
00:07:40.660 and people like Jimmy Kimmel,
00:07:42.620 basically,
00:07:43.520 they do not want to
00:07:44.720 lose their money.
00:07:46.220 Was there no adrenochrome?
00:07:47.460 Does anybody have adrenochrome
00:07:48.560 on this?
00:07:48.780 Adam just wanted to tell us
00:07:50.120 that he partied in LA
00:07:51.240 and he knows people.
00:07:52.060 I'm doing shots
00:07:52.600 of adrenochrome.
00:07:53.040 Let me get to the next story.
00:07:54.300 The Gentleman's Series,
00:07:56.040 VT merch.
00:07:56.680 Let me tell you,
00:07:57.740 the ties that you ask for,
00:07:59.700 black ties,
00:08:00.980 this is 100% silk,
00:08:02.240 with the Valuetainment logo,
00:08:04.480 is on it
00:08:05.200 with the pocket square tie.
00:08:07.160 We have them in black
00:08:08.060 and blue,
00:08:09.520 absolutely sharp,
00:08:11.180 incredible quality.
00:08:13.260 It's not the thin,
00:08:14.600 shiny quality.
00:08:15.780 It's great quality,
00:08:17.140 the ties that are here.
00:08:18.200 And the other one is,
00:08:19.320 this is limited edition,
00:08:20.340 100% leather,
00:08:21.840 Valuetainment bag
00:08:23.840 that's out here.
00:08:24.900 Leather shoulder tote bag.
00:08:27.680 Feel the quality
00:08:28.600 on how the leather feels,
00:08:29.980 by the way.
00:08:30.260 I feel like Vanna White
00:08:31.140 right here.
00:08:31.520 This feels great.
00:08:32.340 And by the way,
00:08:32.880 the VT logo is there.
00:08:34.780 Adam knows about leather.
00:08:36.340 And then when you open it up,
00:08:38.080 when you open it up,
00:08:39.160 inside of it,
00:08:40.420 you will see Future Looks Bright
00:08:41.840 right here.
00:08:42.420 Sick,
00:08:42.940 absolutely sick.
00:08:44.600 And by the way,
00:08:45.320 the other day,
00:08:45.820 Michael Beasley
00:08:46.400 was doing a podcast.
00:08:47.720 We're not seeing people
00:08:48.560 actually wearing a Future
00:08:50.400 Looks Bright hat
00:08:50.980 all over the place.
00:08:51.860 Michael Beasley's doing a podcast.
00:08:52.480 NBA player,
00:08:53.180 number two pick of the draft
00:08:54.540 many years ago
00:08:55.380 by the Miami Heat.
00:08:56.080 I can't wait to see
00:08:57.500 millions on top of millions.
00:08:59.920 I get so many people on X
00:09:01.240 who are posting pictures
00:09:02.120 while they watch this podcast
00:09:03.140 and they'll tell me
00:09:04.220 how they're watching the podcast.
00:09:05.240 But they'll say,
00:09:05.640 man,
00:09:05.780 look at my Future Looks Bright hat.
00:09:06.920 Look at my Future Looks Bright gear.
00:09:08.640 Love seeing the support.
00:09:10.180 More importantly,
00:09:10.800 we need to convert more people
00:09:12.400 that are coming here.
00:09:13.460 We were just in L.A.
00:09:14.320 this last weekend
00:09:15.400 for,
00:09:16.700 what do you call it,
00:09:17.340 that show that happens.
00:09:18.340 We won't post any of the pictures.
00:09:19.520 You know the guy
00:09:19.980 that sits in the middle
00:09:20.720 and 20 people grill you?
00:09:22.880 I was in the middle
00:09:23.680 with 20 anti-capitalists.
00:09:24.920 That was awesome, Pat.
00:09:25.520 It was epic.
00:09:26.660 It was fire
00:09:27.460 and it'll be released
00:09:28.420 in the next four to six weeks.
00:09:30.580 Cannot wait to have you guys see it.
00:09:32.200 But the whole premise is
00:09:33.340 we need more people
00:09:34.740 thinking the future looks bright
00:09:36.080 instead of being victims
00:09:37.780 and, you know,
00:09:38.440 it's not fair.
00:09:39.540 I'm not happy
00:09:40.320 about what's going to happen.
00:09:41.120 I'm so scared about the future.
00:09:42.280 So if you support that as well,
00:09:43.920 go to vtmerch.com.
00:09:45.080 Place your order.
