This is an IHeart podcast.

Hey there, folks. It is Wednesday, September 24th. Jimmy Kimball is back. And I don't know how he could

have nailed that any better. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J.

Robs, you like them. you don't like them you love

them you hate them you're indifferent yeah we gotta kind of give him credit for what he put together

last night which to some degree robes made him a national leader and a national voice in the

midst of all this upheaval.

Absolutely. He is the voice of the freedom of speech. One of the basic rights we have here

in America that makes us America. I can't imagine the pressure that he must have felt to get it

right. But man, felt to get it right.

But man, did he get it right?

I was blown away at his ability to navigate all of the different emotions surrounding,

first of all, what he said last week and then what ABC decided to do

and how the Trump administration has literally declared war against him.

And he managed to validate how the other side feels while at the same time not apologizing

for the joke he made.

And again, everybody, you're up on this.

By now, you know, he got suspended, if you will, last week after he made comments that were deemed insensitive about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

Under pressure from Brendan Carr, the FCC chairman who went out on a podcast and said, hey, maybe we need to be looking into Kimmel and whatnot.

Well, they ended up suspending him. That was a threat, it seemed, of taking away the broadcast license of ABC.

So they, in a lot of people's view, caved to pressure, took him off the air, had negotiations, had talks.

He comes back last night.
