Jimmy Kimmel returned to air with an emotional monologue addressing backlash over his comments linking a murder suspect to MAGA, but critics argue his speech was more like a tearful "non-apology" filled with contradictions. He claimed he never intended to make light of the killing or blame any group, yet past clips showed him doing exactly that.
Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger highlight Kimmel's history of supporting censorship against others while now presenting himself as a free-speech defender. They discuss Kimmel's hypocrisy, pointing to past jokes about denying medical care to the unvaccinated and his refusal to take political risks such as saying "Free Palestine."
Plus segments on the joke that got Tim Dillon DISINVITED from the upcoming Saudi comedy festival, a viral video demonstrating that Charlie Kirk was shot from behind and Trump's insistence with no supporting evidence that the boats the US military is blowing out of the water are all drug trafficking vessels.
Also featuring James Li and Stef Zamorano!

And most of the right wingers I know, or people who consider themselves conservative, are very free speech. Didn't used to be that way when I was a kid. It was always the Christian right that was wanted to censor everybody. |
