00:16Thank you. A massive boycott is taking place at this hour and the last 24 hours
00:22against Walt Disney, subscribers of Walt Disney, and also viewership of the ABC network
00:31as a consequence of pulling off unexpectedly of the show of Jimmy Kimmel and ABC. The comedian
00:40was making a remark that was considered by the White House and by the MAGA movement very inappropriate
00:49and supposedly it was a lot of pressure from the White House and from the powers to be
00:56just to pull that show off. Immediately the reaction has been all over the place. President
01:04Trump doubled down his decision and he said that even it could be necessary to revoke the
01:13licenses of those networks that broadcast that types of comments, that type of programs. And
01:23from the side of Jimmy Kimmel, legends in the comedian part of the U.S., such as David Letterman,
