00:00
Jimmy Kimmel is ready to fly the coop.
00:03
He is prepared to leave America if necessary,
00:08
if this war that he's had going for years now with Donald Trump gets worse.
00:14
He didn't say what necessary means. That's the thing.
00:17
So it wasn't even so much.
00:19
Look, Trump said Jimmy Kimmel is next after Stephen Colbert's show got canceled.
00:26
The reality is Stephen Colbert was beating Jimmy Kimmel.
00:30
So if you're just going by ratings, any other late night host, Colbert had the best ratings.
00:35
So the others, you're like, well, I don't know. Maybe I could be.
00:38
They're neck and neck. But yeah.
00:40
But the thing is, ratings don't seem to matter if you believe the narrative,
00:45
which may be true, that Trump just didn't like Colbert because Colbert was super critical of him.
00:51
And so is Jimmy Kimmel.
00:52
Maybe more so.
00:53
So is Jimmy Kimmel saying, he was on a podcast with Sarah Silverman,
00:58
but is he saying, I'm going to leave if my show get cancels or if it gets difficult in America?
01:06
And I think it's the latter.
01:10
Okay, here's what he said.
01:12
A lot of people I know are thinking about where they can get citizenship and stuff.
01:18
I do have Italian, I did get Italian citizenship.
01:21
You do?
01:21
Oh, that's amazing.
01:23
I do have that.
01:24
And what's going on is, as bad as he thought it was going to be.
01:29
Way worse.
01:30
It's so much worse.
01:32
It's just unbelievable.
01:34
Like, I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.
01:40
Probably, yeah.
01:40
So it sounds like it is the latter.
01:43
It sounds like it is.
01:45
But I don't know what he's saying.
01:47
Because Jimmy's never been about, yes, there's a part where he acknowledges, look, I could be on the chopping block.
01:54
My show could be on the chopping block.
01:55
But Jimmy, his complaints have always been about what he feels the president is doing to the country and to all citizens.
02:04
But what is he talking about if it gets too difficult?
02:07
Meaning what?
02:08
Meaning what?
02:09
Does that mean the show?
02:09
I don't know.
02:10
Does he mean show canceling?
02:10
He talked a lot about immigration.
02:13
He talked about how crazy it is that people are living in fear that they are suddenly going to be taken.
02:20
But that's happening right now.
02:21
Right.
02:22
But he's talking, he sounds like he's talking in the future.
02:25
If it gets, well, it's already gotten in that sense.
02:28
So it's got to be something more than immigration.
02:29
I would love to hear what, I hope he has a fresh show tonight.
02:32
I would love to hear what Jimmy Kimmel is going to say about the National Guard being rolled out in D.C.
02:38
Oh.
02:39
To police.
02:39
So, hold on.
02:40
So, you know why I think he's doing this?
02:43
Why?
02:45
I know this sounds.
02:46
Oh, boy.
02:47
Why?
02:48
Here we go.
02:48
Let me see for this one.
02:50
Conspiracy theory inbound.
02:51
I am not sure Donald Trump is going to leave office voluntarily in 2029 on January 20th.
03:00
Why?
03:01
Well, because crime is actually down by double digits in D.C.
03:07
And now he's calling in the National Guard.
03:12
Am I wrong here?
03:13
Okay.
03:14
But you know you can be funny with numbers.
03:16
It's one of the most unsafe cities in the country, period.
03:19
It's going down.
03:20
Okay, that's great.
03:21
It's getting better.
03:21
Is it horrible or no?
03:22
But he's saying it's getting worse.
03:24
Okay, but what does that have to do with him?
03:26
What does that have to do with him not leaving office?
03:27
Why is he, if he's calling the National Guard in, so the National Guard runs D.C., and he is in control of the National Guard, it's a lot easier.
03:38
So you thought it was the Washington, D.C. Police Department that was going to go and bring him out of office?
03:44
I don't know, Babcock.
03:45
No, I think you're, this is crazy.
03:47
I don't know.
03:48
You said this last time, too.
03:49
You said this in 2020.
03:51
So, there was a riot.
03:53
But he walked out.
03:55
There was a riot.
03:56
I'm saying after that, though, you said, no way he's leaving the White House.
04:00
And he did.
04:01
The Congress was fleeing.
04:03
No, I'm saying after January 6th, you said he's not leaving.
04:07
And then he walked out of the White House.
04:09
He didn't want to walk out of the White House.
04:11
Because January 6th didn't work out.
04:11
Oh, my God, you know that.
04:13
Jeez.
04:13
I pointed to January 6th so they didn't want to go, Babcock.
04:15
No, I think after, after.
04:18
I'm Sean from Newark, Delaware.
04:21
I think Jimmy Kimmel is just joking about leaving the U.S.
04:25
Like, come on, y'all.
04:25
Like, he's a comedian, and he's extremely sarcastic.
04:29
He's always joking on people.
04:31
But I also think he's really good at pointing out what he doesn't like about Donald Trump and how he's running the country.
04:37
But he makes it very entertaining.
04:40
So those are my thoughts on the situation.
04:41
Can I give you two comedians that you're going to have to reckon with here?
04:46
Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell.
04:49
They both did leave the country.
04:51
And they're funny.
