00:00I'm Laura Ingram. This is the Ingram Angle live from Washington tonight.
00:03Now, if you're not invested in America right now, you are missing out, my friends,
00:09several new indicators that America is poised for an economic boom, perhaps the biggest since
00:14we've seen maybe since the early 1980s, maybe bigger. The administration is on a roll trying
00:19to tackle the biggest problems facing the country today. And meanwhile, more evidence building
00:25tonight that the Democratic Party is LOST. As President Trump and his team are chalking
00:32up win after win, Democrats are fulminating about fake issues that few outside the Acela
00:39Corridor even care about. Now, a year ago, it was Trump's a threat to democracy. He's a dictator.
00:45And of course, that message flopped at the polls. And a year later, here we are. And the Dems,
00:50they got nothing. It's pretty much the same message with a few little twists.
00:54Now, it's the dictators banning free speech.
00:58Now, what happened to Jimmy Kimmel last night, and Stephen Colbert, for that matter, isn't
01:04just about one comedian or one television personality or any one network. It's about whether we as
01:13Americans still have the freedom to laugh at those in power.
01:19Well, wasn't he busy busting into the Christine Elm press conference? Same guy, yeah.
01:24He has a lot of credibility. Now, as Trump is rebuilding our military, of course, championing
01:28the American economy, the Democrats have decided to champion Jimmy Kimmel. So Axios is reporting
01:36that Democrats are treating the suspension of the late night talk show host as a, quote,
01:40five alarm fire. And they're launching a frantic multi-prong response. If only they were so frantic
01:48when the border was blown wide open by Biden. Now, remember, Kimmel on Monday claimed.
01:55We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize
02:00this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can
02:05to score political points from it. Well, before Kimmel's suspension,
02:10the FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, made these comments.
02:14It was not, you know, making fun. It was appearing to directly mislead the American public about a
02:22significant fact that probably one of the most significant political events we've had in a long
02:27time, certainly the most significant political assassination we've seen in a long time.
02:30Now, remember, under the Federal Communications Act of 1934, television stations that have these
02:36licenses must serve the public interest. And after a, you know, interesting kind of broad analysis,
02:43they do not, they could risk, could risk losing their license, but it's a process.
02:48But Carr mostly addressed the market's response to Kimmel.
02:52And if there's local TV stations that don't think that running that programming does it,
02:56then they have every right under the law in their contracts to preempt it. And we'll see how this
03:01plays out. But I do think that, again, we are in the midst of a massive shift in dynamics in the
03:07media ecosystem for lots of reasons. I would simply say we're not done yet with seeing the consequences
03:13of that shift.
03:14Oh, we're not done yet. That last line of Carr's sent the Democrats into a fit of performative outrage.
03:22The press went on to skew it to mean that the administration was planning to start revoking
03:27licenses of any group of stations that said bad things about President Trump. Of course,
03:32that is not what Carr said.
03:35What does that mean when you say you're not done yet, then? I mean, will you only be
03:39pleased when none of these comedians have a show on broadcast television?
03:44No, again, it's not about any particular show or any particular person. It's just we're in the midst
03:49of a very disruptive moment right now. And I just frankly expect that we're going to continue to
03:53see changes in the media ecosystem. Now, that's totally reasonable. If anyone can actually listen
03:59to what he's saying. Look, most corporations right now don't want to be fighting with half the country
04:06with its programming. So in the Trump era, certain personalities who worked maybe eight, nine years
04:11ago may not work today. It's a different time. But the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries,
04:17and his leadership, they're demanding that FCC Chair Brendan Carr resign immediately.
04:23They're vowing to get at the truth, even if it requires the relentless unleashing
04:28of congressional subpoena power. And now Liberal Rep Rob Garcia is launching an investigation, too,
04:34into Trump, into ABC and Sinclair Broadcasting, which is one of the station groups that dropped Kimmel.
04:41And over at the House Judiciary Committee, Jamie Raskin, he got in on the fun.
04:45He signaled that he plans to launch his own investigation, telling Axios he will leave no stone
04:51unturned. First of all, an investigation about what? A private business's decision to suspend a host
05:00for callous remarks at a time of national mourning? I mean, because Democrats think that they can convince
05:06what? A critical core of voters? That if Kimmel isn't on the air, America is leaning toward a
05:12dictatorship? Is that their argument, really? In a dictatorship, no one, and I mean no one,
05:19not the reporters or politicians in any country, could publicly criticize their political leaders.
05:25But we have media outlets that, of course, criticize Trump 24-7, like MSNBC. Do Democrats really believe
05:31that Rachel Maddow is worried about being sent to jail in a Trump dictatorship? Of course not.
05:37So if you're a political party that thinks millions of Americans are this stupid and that they care
05:44about whether a late-night comic who has a declining audience and lost a multi-million dollar contract
05:51after making cruel comments that that's a national emergency, then you've lost the plot, my friends.
05:56Did these people, by the way, watch the Emmy Awards? Do they ever catch the gals on The View?
06:04Who exactly, and just looking at those two forums, are afraid of attacking Donald Trump or the MAGA
06:11movement? Exactly none. None of these Trump-hating actors or anchors are afraid they're going to be
06:18hauled away in the middle of the night for what they say. So this is just another idiotic attempt to
06:25gain traction for the Democrats. But most people, I think, see Democrats as just spinning their
06:30wheels. Companies are making business decisions that involve many factors, including the simplest
06:37of all, that certain hosts aren't making them money and maybe are more trouble than they're worth,
06:43especially in the age of Trump. Kimmel apparently has refused to apologize for his comments.
06:49Okay, it's his right to refuse to apologize, but then he's got to live with the consequences.
06:54Plus, I have to say, there are a lot of selective moral outrage out there. Because where were all
07:00these free speech warriors when Bill Maher was pushed off the air from ABC? Remember he had that
07:04show, Politically Incorrect? I used to go on it all the time. After he made some comments, like it was
07:09about Al-Qaeda. Or how about when Don Lemon got booted from CNN after his women are past their prime
07:15comments? I don't remember them standing up for old Don. And forget they're ever coming to the defense
07:22of conservatives like yours truly. Remember? So it's a little rich that liberals are now crying for
07:29Kimmel. And let's not also forget that if Democrats had their way, they would ban their opponents
07:36completely from the airwaves. They'd call it all misinformation, disinformation. Heck, they wanted a
07:42government bureau of misinformation to fight against so-called disinformation. Remember when Kamala
07:49Harris was campaigning for president in her abysmally bad primary run back in 2019? She called
07:56for Trump to be suspended from Twitter, for goodness sake. And we saw COVID policy critics
08:01get banned from social media. Most of them were on this show. After, of course, hearing from government
08:06officials, the social media companies decided, well, we can't put that stuff out there.
08:10So where were the Democrat First Amendment champions then?
08:13Of course, while most Americans see through the party's manufactured outrage over Kimmel,
08:20still, the Trump folks also need to be careful with words.
08:25They can be only bad publicity or press. I mean, they're getting a license. I would think
08:32maybe their license should be taken away.
08:34I think he's getting at the issue of whether stations serve the public interest when they're
08:41one-sided. But determining that is, as I said earlier, it's a process and it's a, you have to
08:47have hearings. I don't think there's any need to play into the media's hands here. The market will
08:53and is sorting this all out. It always does. Here to discuss is Laura Trump, host of My View
08:59with Laura Trump. Laura, what do you make of the Democrats' new strategy? Now turning Jimmy Kimmel
09:08into their 2025 martyr. Yeah, I mean, when you talk about the fact that this is where they're
09:17putting their energy again, it's just more of the same from the Democrats. They continue, Laura,
09:23to go down the wrong path and to talk about the things that the American people don't care about
09:28really. When, when are they making anyone's life better by obsessing over Jimmy Kimmel? I think
09:34my brother-in-law Don said it best. He said, this isn't about cancel culture. This is consequence
09:38culture. I mean, my gosh, this has nothing to do with Donald Trump not agreeing with anything Jimmy
09:44Kimmel said or not liking it. Jimmy Kimmel has been horrible to my father-in-law, our entire family,
09:49conservatives for that matter, for years. He's made fun of how I look. This is not a nice guy,
09:55but that has nothing to do with any of this, Laura. This is, of course, a business decision
09:59made by ABC News who said, hey, you know what? Whenever someone is actually making light of a
10:06heinous murder, maybe that's not going to be a great fit for our audience. Maybe we need to make
10:11a decision to say enough is enough. And I think it's sort of amazing that this is where the Democrats
10:17are again. They're pro-illegal immigration. They are pro-crime in cities. And now I guess they're
10:22pro-people who are saying that in some ways somebody had it coming for an assassination
10:28attempt or an assassination itself. That is the problem here. And the Democrats yet again
10:33have chosen the wrong path and the wrong thing to focus on as far as I think a lot of America would
10:38say. Well, at the same time, super conservative Ted Cruz really tore into Brendan Carr, the Trump
10:48FCC chairman. And he basically equated him with being a mob boss for his comments about these
10:57stations that are pulling Kimmel off the air or questions about whether you're going to punish
11:05stations for having people on the stations who criticize Donald Trump. Is Ted Cruz wrong here?
11:12Well, Ted Cruz is, of course, entitled to his own opinion. But as you pointed out in your open,
11:20if Donald Trump wanted to take everyone off the air who had criticisms for him,
11:24there would basically only be a handful of individuals left on television, Laura. And I
11:30think we all know that. That has nothing to do with any of this, of course. Look, a lot of these
11:35people, I think, at a certain point have had to really reflect on where we are in America. It wasn't
11:40that long ago, you know, that people were able to say anything and everything about Donald Trump
11:47after an assassination attempt. Now Charlie Kirk is no longer with us. And we have to draw a line
11:53somewhere in America. And I think that unfortunately that line was drawn Wednesday a week ago. A lot of
11:59people saw what happened and it changed things in America. And we have to reflect on who we are as a
12:04country. So, look, I think I'm pro taking Jimmy Kimmel off the air. But, you know, that was ABC's
12:11decision ultimately. All right, Laura, great to see you. As always, we'll be watching this weekend.
12:16And as Laura was referencing, look, the Democrats, they're not just addicted to failed political
12:22strategy, but to the specific F word that seemed to motivate Charlie's suspected assassin.
12:29Republicans are implementing a dangerous agenda to punish their opposition.
12:36Fascism is not on the way. It is here. We're attacking a process, not attacking people here.
12:42And I think it's really important. We need to stand up against this fascist takeover. That's not a bad
12:48word. It's a fact. Now, if an assassination viewed around the world won't make them temper their
12:55rhetoric, what will? What's our only conclusion here? They don't care about political violence unless
13:02it's committed against one of their own. And today, 58 Democrats voted against a resolution
13:09to honor Charlie Kirk and condemn political violence. And by the way, the party's it girl
13:16turned standard bearer decided to attack the dead.
13:19We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant,
13:27uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans. Far from the working,
13:34quote, working tirelessly to promote unity, unquote, asserted by the majority in this resolution.
13:41Of course, I can hear Charlie laughing right now. Congresswoman, please explain exactly how I
13:48sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans. And what is your definition of uneducated?
13:54Like, if you are a hardworking, innocent person, I have got your back. If you are just trying to
14:05make it in this world, I've got your back.
14:08Like, like here with me right now is like Andrew Colvett, Turning Point USA, official spokesman,
14:16executive producer for the Charlie Kirk show. Andrew, it's great to see you. What did Charlie
14:23think of AOC? Did he ever invite her on his show? Because he sat down with Newsom and Bill Maher.
14:29And what did he think? Now, Charlie would have loved to sit down with AOC. And he he often reflected
14:39on her her her her deep wisdom and her insightful analysis of the current moment. But no, I mean,
14:47this I just I want everybody to realize that my friend that I worked with for eight years was not
14:54only a good and decent and true person. He was a loving father. He was a loving husband. And the
15:01fact that we can't get unanimity within our own U.S. Congress to condemn the assassination of my
15:08friend. And he's an American hero and American icon. He belongs to history now. But the fact that we
15:15can't even get people to agree on that, Laura, is really, really disappointing. The fact that she
15:19would put her words in public like that is disappointing. And I hope that I hope that
15:25she receives all of the appropriate backlash for that, just as Jimmy Kimmel did. And that's what
15:29we're talking about. You could say things. Sure, you have the freedom to. But we have the freedom
15:32to respond the way that we that we want. And frankly, I think a lot of Americans find it
15:37disgusting what's happening. Well, I mean, it's stunning that after the bullet casing had the
15:45engraving, you know, catch this fascist. And then we're hearing all these Democrats use the fascist.
15:52Then we hear AOC saying, oh, he's uneducated. I mean, the fingers always pointed back at you,
15:59as the Buddha said. It's just uneducated. Charlie dealt with that so often, that line from all the
16:06college grads snobs out there. And one by one, he just he just took their arguments apart. So when
16:13she's saying that now, I think, has she ever seen a debate that Charlie did? Apparently not.
16:20Yeah, apparently not. I mean, people have to understand, Charlie was thought of that as a
16:24badge of honor, because he inherently distrusted the academy. He knew the ideas that they were
16:28teaching. He knew that they were brainwashing and indoctrinating so many young people to hate
16:33their country, to hate faith, to be rejecting the things that make America amazing. And also,
16:38he was an autodidact. Charlie spent all of his free time reading books, skimming books,
16:44talking to learned people that had wisdom that he looked up to. He devoted himself. He was like an
16:50athlete that was training to be able to engage with college kids, with anybody he might be speaking
16:56to, to convince them and to bring them to his side. And that is the best of America. That's the way
17:02constitutional republic is supposed to work with words, with words. And the fact that our, you know,
17:08our house can't even vote to condemn violence when Charlie was a proponent of words and a free speech
17:14is truly disappointing. Well, Andrew, I will see you on Sunday. This is going to be an amazing moment
17:20for all those gathered, but for the country and the world. And thank you for everything you've done over
17:26these past very, very difficult days. Andrew, I'll see you Sunday. And coming up, the liberal anarchists
17:32are back at it. Ice facilities stormed. You can't miss this video. Next.
17:40Now, Democrats, we've heard this time and again, they love to claim that they're the ones defending
17:46the norms that Trump is trying to destroy, right? They're defending it all. But of course,
17:52the rule of law, actual lawful, you know, enforcement of duly passed legislation, like
17:59our immigration laws. Oh no, they're not for that at all. And in fact, the rhetoric of Democrats is
18:04helping spur more potentially dangerous protests tonight against ICE. And in New York City, Chicago,
18:12sanctuary city Democrats, they're, they're in on the game. Dozens were arrested in New York yesterday,
18:17including 11 elected city officials who themselves stormed into an ICE facility.
18:38That's just bad Spanish. The city's comptroller, Brad Lander was arrested for the second time this
18:43year. What an accomplishment. A similar situation in Chicago today, where absolutely unhinged agitators
18:49worked to form a blockade. They don't have actual jobs, but that is their job in front of an ICE
18:55facility, including a Democrat congressional candidate who was thrown to the ground by an ICE agent. Good
19:02work. Greg Bovino is the commander of Operation Midway Blitz. He's also the Border Patrol chief of the
19:08El Centro sector out in California. We've been there many times. Greg, why do Democrats
19:13feel like this is their path to electoral salvation? Well, Laura, good evening and thanks for having
19:22me. It's nice to see you again. These elected representatives, you know, I don't, I'm not sure
19:28if they think they're appealing to their constituency, but what I find they're doing is they're setting that
19:33constituency up for failure. I was actually out at Broadview ICE detention facility today during that
19:40protest. And we ended up arresting three individuals for 18 U.S.C. 111 assault on a federal officer.
19:48Those constituents pay the price for those crazy, derisive politicians who banter this rhetoric about
19:55without regard, without regard at all. And someone pays the price. And that's what happened today.
20:00And that's what happened in New York as well. Yeah, the rhetoric, Nazi jackbooted thugs. I mean,
20:05we've heard it time and again. And a Democratic mayor running for Congress in Illinois posted a video
20:13to his social media. Watch this. I'm back at the Broadview ICE facility where in part of a protest
20:18just a few minutes ago, not only did they come with weapons and violent show of force and drive a van
20:24into us, but then they tear cast us. And I have to tell you, it was terrifying. It was impossible to
20:29breathe and really, really scary. But the point is they are trying to intimidate us, to stop us from
20:34standing up and being a part of a nonviolent resistance. And we will not be intimidated.
20:41Greg, their constituents, when you really listen to them, the constituents seem to be the illegal
20:46alien gang members, predators, sexual deviants, felons that they end up protecting or so-called
20:54protests.
20:56Laura, exactly. The word you used at the beginning of your segment was deranged.
21:01That word fits absolutely perfect with that individual and many of these other elected
21:08representatives. They do choose criminal, illegal aliens over American citizens. And that's what
21:13we're after here in Chicago, Los Angeles, and nationwide are those criminals, those bad people
21:19and bad things that prey on American citizens. And what's deranged is the fact that they would support
21:26that criminality over mom and pa America. And Laura, I had the opportunity here over the past
21:32couple of days in Chicago to talk with a lot of our inner city American citizen residents.
21:38They, too, feel the the they're at the receiving end of a lot of these violent gang members that you
21:45mentioned. And, you know, it's it's it's sad that our elected representatives say that.
21:50All right, Greg, we got to run. But thank you very much. And ahead. Did China just score a big win
21:56to steal your data?
22:00And a few days ago, I almost fell over because The Economist, it's a perpetually globalist,
22:07Trump skeptical news source for the business elite. It ran this piece.
22:12America's economy defies gloomy expectations.
22:15Oh, interesting. I was like, is that really The Economist and The Economist's biggest cheerleader,
22:21of course, was once again taking on the doubters.
22:24If you look at the stock market and other indicators, we have tremendous
22:28investment coming in records investment coming. Everything is going well,
22:32but the Democrats are unhappy about that because they don't want it to go well.
22:36Well, tariffs are having a desired effect, certainly on China and revenues will be in the
22:41hundreds of billions of dollars. And that's just for starters. And the president has scored huge
22:46investments. New factories are under construction. Gas prices are going to go down even more and
22:52are expected to go down further this fall. Jobs are now going to Americans. Not enough, maybe,
22:58but they're going to Americans instead of foreign born workers. And the stock market,
23:03we all know, is now at an all time high again today. But the press, as usual,
23:08seems to be hoping that things go south. There are a range of different outcomes here when it
23:14comes to the economy, because the reason why they cut interest rates was because of concern over
23:18what's going on in the labor market. Look, there may be, the economy is clearly slowing down.
23:23There may be a recession. It does not matter how anyone spins the economy. People know how much
23:29their lives cost. Joining me to discuss, founder and CEO of Cardone Capital, Grant Cardone.
23:35Grant, look, there, there, there is some bumps in the road in the labor market. There's no doubt
23:41about that. But overall, given what Trump has taken on this year, and to see the stock market where it
23:49is and to see the energy prices coming down, inflation is 2.9 percent ticked up a little bit
23:55last month. But all in all, where do you see things going?
23:58This is the beginning of a great resurgence, Laura. And you've been right. You've been supporting
24:05President Trump the entire time about his ability to get the economy back in track.
24:11This is a Trump halo effect. This is why successful business people are so important to politics.
24:17President Trump is doing exactly what he promised. We're experiencing massive economic resurgence right
24:22now. Big corporations are investing hundreds of billions of dollars. That's not taxpayer dollars.
24:28That's their dollars. That will create more manufacturing and more jobs. Rates are coming
24:33down. Small and medium-sized businesses are on the research. That will mean CapEx will explode in the
24:38first quarter of next year as they make new investments. Also, home sales, because rates will come
24:44down. Homes will start selling again, unleashing trillions of dollars, Laura, of equity that's been
24:51frozen up. And money that's been sitting on the sidelines is going to flood back into the markets
24:56and toward real assets. The job numbers will be improved. Jimmy Kimmel didn't help himself by
25:03killing his own career this week, but the job numbers are going to recover as well.
25:08Now, speaking of all these naysayers in the press, the Washington Post has a new survey out tonight,
25:13and it found that the public is not feeling the stock market boom. More than six in 10 Americans,
25:19again, according to this study, take it for what it's worth, disapprove of how Trump is handling
25:24tariffs. And more than two-thirds of Americans describe the state of the economy as not so good
25:29or poor. What should the Trump team be doing to get people to feel these benefits faster,
25:39Grant, given this CapEx spending that's coming? We know it's coming early in next year,
25:43but, you know, prices are still pretty high for most people, and those wages need to go up even
25:49further. You know, I would just say, Laura, that I'm connected to a tremendous number of middle-class
25:57entrepreneurs, small business owners, and they are, for the most part, optimistic. They are not
26:02feeling the negative impacts of tariffs. They're actually feeling lower interest rates, lower short-term
26:08rates, housing opening up in their marketplace. And remember, the business person is going to only
26:14make investments when their future looks positive. Tomorrow, I have 44,000 people joining me online for
26:22a real estate investing class because they want to take advantage of the real estate correction that
26:28will take place when rates come down. So I see people as mostly optimistic.
26:32All right. That's good. And I love how Tim Cook today said,
26:35the tariffs really had no impact on the new iPhone sales at all. And China, by the way,
26:40is hurting in its auto industry. Big article about that a few days ago. A lot of people missed. So
26:45the tariffs hurt China's manufacturing. They need us more than we need them. Grant, thank you so much.
26:50Great to see you, as always. And President Trump says he's cut a deal with China on TikTok after a phone
26:56call with Xi Jinping. Now, the agreement would allow the social media company to continue operating in
27:02America. But that is part is key. The algorithm will reportedly also remain under Chinese control.
27:11I can tell you the young people in our country wanted to see it stay open very badly because
27:16and if you take a look at my numbers, no Republican has ever done anything like we had. We got massive
27:24numbers of youth vote. And by the way, helped very much by Charlie Kirk. So Charlie was very much in
27:32favor of TikTok. He liked TikTok. And he said, you know, you should use it.
27:37Now, there are a number of American investors, private equity investment groups that are going to,
27:42you know, be involved in big ownership stakes in TikTok. And it is true. Gen Z is very happy about
27:48this. President Trump did benefit from the platform. But the first Trump administration
27:53made the national security concerns exceedingly clear for everyone to understand.
28:00And it wasn't too long ago when Pompeo gave the angle this warning.
28:04Would you recommend that people download that up on their phones tonight, tomorrow, anytime
28:09currently? Only if you want your private information in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party.
28:14My kid was on TikTok. They'd have a social security number. They'd know what his face looked like.
28:18They'd know who his friends were.
28:21Government officials, members of Congress, security experts have warned for a long time
28:26that TikTok is dangerous because China is collecting our data and also pushing its propaganda,
28:34slanting the news. Here to discuss is Gordon Chang, senior fellow at the Gatestone Institute,
28:39Gatestone Institute. Gordon, a lot of people love TikTok and I get it. Fun stuff on TikTok,
28:46lot of cool little videos and all that. But national security concerns are real. Are they addressed in
28:54this deal so far as we know tonight? Well, as far as we know, we don't have the terms for the deal.
29:01So all we have understanding is that there will be a new TikTok. 80 percent of the owners will be
29:08American. The 20 percent will remain in Chinese hands. It's told that we've been told that Oracle
29:16will handle the data, which is good. But we've also been told that China will control the algorithm.
29:22And that is by far the most important national security issue. We will be licensing the algorithm
29:29and U.S. engineers, they say, might be working on the algorithm. But that still leaves China in a very
29:36dominant position. Well, does Congress need to actually approve this deal? How would this work?
29:43Well, there's federal legislation that requires a divestiture or a ban of TikTok. President Trump is
29:51now given four extensions. The last extension expires on December 16th. So I think Congress does need to
29:59approve this deal. And by the way, Laura, the first Chinese readout today did not mention that there
30:05was a deal. The Chinese foreign ministry, the only thing they said was that Chinese enterprises may
30:11negotiate with foreigners as long as they comply with Chinese law. Well, why does China want this so
30:18badly? I mean, if they want to deal with the United States, they need our market. But why is TikTok in
30:23particular so important to China? You have to ask yourself that, Gordon, correct?
30:30Well, they're using it to exacerbate divisions among the American public. They're meddling in our
30:35elections. They're promoting social ills like suicide and illicit drug use. And they're supporting Hamas
30:41and other terrorist groups with the algorithm. They see it as a critical tool to bring down the United
30:47States. And that means the curation of the algorithm, that the algorithm creation is really,
30:55really important to us. It's absolutely critical that we control it. And if we don't, this deal is
31:00a betrayal. Yeah, 100 percent control, not 80 percent, 100 percent. They like the godfather. What's the
31:08deal? No deal. That's where I'd be. But this is why I'm not negotiator. Gordon, we'll find the details
31:13out and have you back. Thank you very much. And coming up, the Kimmel Wars break wide open and
31:19Kamala Harris feeds on her own. Friday Follies with Raymond Arroyo is next.
31:26It is Friday, and that means it's time for Friday Follies. And for that, we turn to Fox News
31:31contributor Raymond Arroyo. All right, Raymond, I know you're obsessed with the story of Jimmy Kimmel's
31:37suspension. Howls of protest. My ears are ringing with the howls. The Writers Guild,
31:43they're picketing, I saw. They're claiming a First Amendment violation. Got talk show hosts,
31:49past and present. I mean, it's insane. Yeah, well, they also took up this free speech
31:54violation routine. Watch. We all see where this is going, correct? It's managed media, and it's no good.
32:02It's silly. It's ridiculous. And you can't go around firing somebody because you're fearful
32:10or trying to suck up to an authoritarian criminal administration in the Oval Office.
32:17Tonight, we are all Jimmy Kimmel. I still have a show, though, right?
32:21That is blatant censorship.
32:25Well, this is not censorship, Laura. As you alluded to earlier, the government is doing nothing here.
32:30This is a private network deciding that Kimmel's show had lost so many viewers and advertisers,
32:36it was no longer sustainable. And these comments about Charlie Kirk's assassin,
32:40they were just the latest in a line of offensive statements, Laura. And you just can't say this
32:45kind of stuff at a hot moment in the culture. Now, Raymond, when you look at the decline,
32:50and look, broadcast television is getting fewer people annually watching, right? But since 2013,
32:56it's straight down. I think they've lost 50% of their audience.
33:03Well, and Laura, imagine the money that goes along with that. We looked. ABC, since January of this
33:08year, has lost $70 million on the Kimmel show in ad revenue. So they were hemorrhaging money.
33:15They're paying him somewhere between $16 and $48 million a year. And the truth is, he was unrepentant.
33:21In fact, he was going to double down in his latest monologue. And they felt the heat was just too hot.
33:26Look, I love how actor Pedro Pascal showed up. He posted that he's standing with Jimmy Kimmel.
33:32Where was he when his Mandalorian co-star Gina Carano was fired by the same company?
33:38She won a lawsuit, by the way, over that sacking. Kimmel won't, Laura, but maybe he can don that
33:43Baby Yoda outfit and have a backup gig in the next season of Mandalorian. He'd be cute in the Baby Yoda.
33:48Oh, my goodness. Meanwhile, like one wishes that the Democrats are as upset about political
33:55assassination as they are about a talk show suspension. Democrats in the House and the
34:00Senate are deeply disturbed by the events. This is another example of Donald Trump and the Trump
34:06administration weaponizing the federal government and part of an ongoing war against the First
34:12Amendment. It's unacceptable. It's unconscionable. And it's un-American.
34:16If you ever wondered how democracy dies, you're witnessing it. It's one of the most
34:20outrageous affronts on this. This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is
34:25a weak, thin-skinned man who's failing as a president.
34:30North Korea, Laura, North Korea is where they have political assassinations, which Tim Waltz doesn't
34:35want to talk about. That's really how we're North Korea. But believe it or not, Eric Swalwell,
34:40Laura, is on the Hill right now passing out Kimmel swag. My personal take on this is this whole narrative
34:46was completely avoidable. Look, you had Nexstar who came out and said, wait a minute, we're the
34:53affiliate. We're offended by this. We're suspending the show. And then the FCC chairman,
34:58Brendan Carr, should not have said, should not have come out there and said, we can do this the hard
35:02way or the easy way, because it made it look like he was somehow involved. And then subsequently,
35:07when Sinclair said, we want him off too, the narrative is that the government's driving this bus.
35:13No. The local affiliates have since come out and said, it was our decision alone. And then ABC
35:18capitulated. It's a business decision. But why get involved when the dominoes are already falling?
35:24Stay out of this.
35:24I agree. I would have stayed out of it. But Trump was, Trump absolutely ran to Brendan's defense
35:31today in the Oval. He said, I think he's genius. I love him. And I think, you know, you got to say,
35:35Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump stuck with his man there. Ted Cruz is like strafing everyone,
35:40saying this is a First Amendment atrocity that's being committed by the Trump administration. But
35:46I don't quite see it that clearly. I think that's an overstatement extraordinaire.
35:51Well, they got out over their skis when something was moving in a direction where the marketplace was
35:57saying we've had enough. But I don't like the idea of the FCC determining, you know, what speech is
36:02acceptable or not acceptable. Let the people figure that out. Let the entities figure it out. They always
36:08do. And that's what happened here with Jimmy Kimmel. All right, Raymond, great to see you as
36:12always. And coming up, fight night at the White House. Oh, it's taking shape. UFC star Michael
36:18Chandler here next. We all know President Trump loves UFC crowds and they love him. But he usually
36:28needs to travel to see a UFC fight, but not next July when America 250 will welcome a major UFC fight to
36:36the White House grounds. Yeah, the octagon. It's coming to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And UFC
36:41President Dana White just gave Brett a preview of what the event setup will look like. Oh, man,
36:47it's awesome. A UFC legend will also be fighting. Conor McGregor want to be a part of that. I'm on it.
36:54You're on it. I'm on it. I am. This is me. Michael Chandler. Michael Chandler and myself have done the
36:59show. The ultimate fighter. We've had a good back and forth. He's a good, tough guy. And, you know,
37:06the Mac is excited to get back for sure. Here to react is UFC fighter Michael Chandler, a good,
37:13tough guy. Michael, how are you tonight? How big of an event is this one going to be,
37:19my friend? This is amazing. Yeah, it's going to be absolutely amazing. Thank you for having me.
37:24You know, Dana said it earlier on the on Brett's show. They are in the business of putting on one
37:30of one experiences that you never will never, never be seen again. Fighting at the White House
37:36in June, July, whenever it is going to be, is going to be absolutely spectacular on America's
37:41birthday, no less. Do you expect that this will be like a light show, kind of something like we've
37:48never seen before at UFC? I mean, I've been to UFC fights. They're unbelievable. But Trump is
37:54promising something very different for the way this will look. Yeah. One thing is for sure. Expect
38:01the unexpected. When you got Dana White and Donald Trump, you got their brains behind it,
38:06their promotional brains behind it. Man, expect the unexpected. Nothing is impossible for these
38:11gentlemen. It's going to be a one of one type of show. Obviously, as we heard Conor earlier,
38:16that is the fight to make. Conor and I, we have some history. We did the ultimate fighter 12 weeks
38:21on ESPN. I'm the opponent that he wants. He's the opponent that I want. And it seems like that's a
38:26heck of a main event for the UFC White House. How many times have you had your nose broken,
38:31Michael? Have you lost track? You know, I've lost track. I think I lost track of the stitches as well,
38:38you know, but that's what we do. The scars and the crooked noses, they remind people of what you've
38:44done, what you've accomplished, and that you're a man, that you're a man or a woman that's battle
38:47tested, and a man or a woman to be followed. And we've gone through a lot as fighters. We go through
38:53a lot. And just to see as the sport grows, that we're talking about a fight at the White House,
38:57it's absolutely spectacular. What Dana White has done with the UFC over the last 32, 33 years is
39:03absolutely amazing. I'm very blessed to be a part of it, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger.
39:07Do you expect this to be your biggest fight? I mean, you've had some legendary fights,
39:15but do you think this will be unlike anything else because of the atmosphere, the president,
39:21or the occasion? I do. You know, this has all of the ingredients needed for the biggest fight in
39:28UFC history. You've got Conor McGregor and myself, two huge stars in the UFC. We've got history.
39:34There is a buildup to this fight, and now you're talking about 250 years of this great nation of
39:40ours, America's birthday, the celebration near July 4th at the White House. Like we said, this
39:46will never, ever be done before. Never did we ever think this would even be possible, and here we are
39:50talking about it. Every time I talk to somebody about it, whether they have heard about it, they
39:55are absolutely ecstatic about it, or they haven't heard about it, and they think I'm lying to them,
39:58Laura. It's absolutely nuts. And you look at the renderings. Have you seen the renderings? It's
40:02absolutely amazing. All right. Well, everyone's going to want a ticket. I want to go. I hope I
40:06can. Michael, I can't wait to see you there, my friend. And Jesse Waters is next.
