00:00Late night comedian Jimmy Kimmel confirming he has obtained Italian citizenship,

00:05saying that he will consider using it to flee Trump's America,

00:10much to the same kind of exodus of liberals like Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres,

00:14both picking up and moving overseas.

00:17Kimmel dropped the news on a podcast last week when discussing his opinion on the state of the U.S.

00:22A lot of people I know are thinking about where they can get citizenship.

00:30I do have Italian. I did get Italian citizenship.

00:33You do? Oh, that's amazing.

00:35I do have that. And what's going on is as bad as you thought it was going to be.

00:41Way worse.

00:42It's so much worse. It's just unbelievable.

00:46Like, I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.

00:52You know, we—my relatives immigrated here. Much of us have relatives that did.

00:57And when my grandparents did immigrate here, they had to renounce their Italian citizenship to become U.S. citizens.

01:03They framed the U.S. citizenship on the wall. They were so proud.

01:07But Russell Shorto put it best when he said the Italian government succeeded in accomplishing in 20 years

01:12what centuries of invaders of Sicily had not, which is bringing the island to ruin and starvation.

01:18And so when I think of what Jimmy Kimmel says, and in somehow comparing this current state to tyranny

01:25and starvation and oppression, and I think about what my relatives actually did flee,

01:30they are rolling over in their graves to think of this land of opportunity that has afforded my growth.

01:36I'm here a product of their hard work, their determination, and their desperation.

01:40And Jimmy Kimmel knows nothing about either.

01:43Listen, I am a one-man woman. I'm also a one-country woman.

01:49I don't like the idea of dual citizenship.

01:51Part of it is because I don't like this kind of situation, right?

01:54Like, if you think America's not great, then stay and work for it.

01:57And by the way, you're a multimillionaire. You're doing pretty good.

02:00America's been really good to Jimmy Kimmel.

02:03On the other hand, good riddance.

02:05By the way, I bet he can afford an incredible place in Tuscany,

02:10so it's not exactly like he's moving to Italy to be with the poor people there.

02:14But, you know, it shows the deterioration of this whole thing with late night.

02:18I love that Gutfeld went on Fallon's show.

02:21I remember when Jon Stewart used to come here and go on with O'Reilly.

02:26And I know Jay Leno really well.

02:29He's a real open-minded guy. He loves his cars.

02:31You can talk to him.

02:32You don't even know what Jay Leno's politics are half the time.

02:35They've destroyed late night.

02:37Except for Greg.

02:38Well, look, I mean, I kind of don't understand

02:41why it's even a question of him not wanting to stay here.

02:45I mean, if he's going to capitulate and just give up everything he's worked for

02:48because his ego won't let him stay on TV and actually compete, that's up to him.

02:52He does have Italian ancestry through his grandmother, I understand,

02:57because from what I've read, she immigrated here in, like, the late 1800s

03:01after an earthquake near Naples.

03:03At least that's what I'm reading.

03:05So I can understand the familial connection.

03:07But this is the greatest country on the planet for making your dreams come true.

03:11And if he feels some pressure from Greg on late night,

03:15doesn't he have any other fresh ideas?

03:17Yeah.

03:18Kellyanne, talk to us about this narrative that is so prevalent

03:20in all of these sort of microcosmic shows that we're talking about

03:22where, you know, hate America, get out of here,

03:24but weirdly enjoying all the fruits of it with their big microphone.

03:28Yes, absolutely.

03:29Well, first of all, I didn't know he was Italian.

03:31I'm kind of disappointed because my mom was 100% Italian.

03:35His vowels are in all the wrong places, so I had no idea.

03:38I need him with an L.

03:39But I certainly know he's not funny.

03:41President Trump has broken these people, broken this industry.

03:44They're not funny anymore.

03:45Even that exchange is so caustic and so formulaic, like, oh, two white, rich liberals podcasting

03:52together in their safe spaces, complaining about this great country.

03:57Then go somewhere else.

03:58Be my guest and stay.

04:00But I'm with you on the dual citizenship.

04:02I do know lots of people have it, and they have it for different reasons, Rachel.

04:06I know.

04:06But I think this is the time where President Trump is making very clear, let's get rid of

04:10all the stupid acronyms, CRT, BLM, DEI, ESG, and replace it with USA.

04:18And there's this great patriotic fervor just sweeping this country.

04:21Look at these cheerleaders.

04:22Look at this sweeping this country.

04:24And it just makes people like that not only seem unfunny, but out of sync and out of touch.

04:28And ungrateful.

04:30Ungrateful.

04:31Ungrateful.
