00:00Now we go to the United States. The threats against free speech continue.
00:04The latest example was the indefinite consolation of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show.
00:09Our correspondent Jorge Gestoso has more details on the subject.
00:15Thank you. Here in Washington and all over the country,
00:19one subject was the main issue of discussion and controversy.
00:24We're talking freedom of expression granted by the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and possible censorship.
00:32Why? Because a very, very popular television show, the one of Jimmy Kimmel, every night on ABC,
00:41suddenly has been cancelled after what it seems to be the reason it was not officially admitted that was the reason,
00:49a joke made by Jimmy Kimmel who said that the assassin of Charlie Kirk was a mega member.
00:58Mega makes America great again means the movement of Donald Trump.
01:03So that was meaning that one of themselves was killing another member of MAGA that was this activist Charlie Kirk.
01:12And at that point, everybody from the right and everybody from the MAGA movement go around the country to start to denounce what they say that is discrimination,
01:27misinformation, wrongly use of the mass media.
01:32What they say that is the attack by the president of the United States who say that 97% of the times that have been talked about him is negative.
01:44And he brought the possibility, he mentioned the possibility that because of all those incidents that is repeated lately,
01:52the licenses of the television networks could be revoked.
01:57And that exactly was creating the flurry about all the colleagues of Jimmy Kimmel,
02:03such as legends as David Letterman or Jay Leno or even Stephen Colbert that yesterday,
02:09he said that this is pure censorship put in the middle of the debate what is going on in terms of polarization in the United States.
02:19And the bottom line is that for many analysts,
02:23they believe that is the very dangerous episode that they create the possibility of self-censorship
02:32for fear that the government of Donald Trump could put to impose sanctions on even consequences economically
02:41and in terms of personnel and employment very, very dangerous.
02:47We're good.
