Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I thank you. We'd like to welcome our newest viewer, viewer James Kimmel

out of Los Angeles. Good to see ya. Close your robe. Happy Thursday, everyone. So ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmel's show indefinitely after his remarks about Charlie Kirk. True, even in getting fired,

he comes in second to Colbert. The battled talk show host is reportedly effing livid over the possible cancellation of his show, adding, is it because I'm black? Meanwhile, Brian Stelter warns that America is less free after Kimmel's suspension. He also complained that Golden Corral is less free after they put a lock on their pastry dumpster. While some say it's an attack on free speech, others believe it's an excuse to unload Jimmy due to his poor ratings and the cost to keep him on.

So ABC had to make a tough call. It was either him or Joy Behar's Ham of the Month subscription. Adds up. Meanwhile, over at Ball State, Suzanne Swerk, the director of health promotion and advocacy has been fired for her comments about Charlie Kirk. Ball State? Looks like she's better suited at Meatball State. She's often been accused of being a DEI hire, but in reality, she ate all the other candidates. But don't worry, Suzanne, you'll find another job. Keep your chins up.

Hey, no mercy. Barack Obama seemed to put some blame on Trump for Charlie Kirk's assassination for having extreme views in the White House. And once again, the only time of Obama. it turns down the temperature is to get his wife to put on more clothes. And finally, President Trump announced he's designated Antifa as a major terrorist organization. Followed by CNN, MSNBC, and the plastic surgeons responsible for this. We'll be back with more Gutfeld.

It's Will Tame Country. Watch it live at noon Eastern Monday through Thursday at Fox News.com or on the Fox News YouTube channel. And don't miss the show. Listen and follow the podcast five days a week at Fox News Podcasts.com or wherever you download your favorite podcasts. Okay, to the monologue. So ABC yank Jimmy Kimmel off the air.

Now, as much as I'd like to take credit, his demise was caused by another asshole. One named Jimmy Kimmel. He's gone indefinitely, which is like saying Amelia Earhart's flight is delayed. Turns out you can't blindly lie to a million viewers and say Charlie Kirk's killer was Maga, especially since the shooter appears to be a lefty, meaning he's more in line with Kimmel than Kirk. Perhaps that's why Kimmel said this. We hit some new lows over the weekend with the Maga gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk,

anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it. Now, usually when Kimmel mentions new lows, he's discussing his ratings. But this time, that rock bottom was in his soul, lying about an assassination to project his own hateful fantasies. Now he has time for a new fantasy, imagining he has a TV show. Next star, a group that owned some ABC affiliates, said it would preempt his airings. And that's poetic justice. he gets booted by next star, now he'll be looking for change outside CoinStar. Meanwhile, Trump is calling the move Great News for America.

The last time he said that was when Rosie packed all 35 of her Black and Decker vibrators and moved to Ireland. 35. But what does this really mean? Is it censorship? I don't think so. After all, you do have. a right to be wrong, but your boss also has a right to suspend you when you deliberately

do so. And Jimmy meant to mislead his viewers at the worst possible time to do it. And the FCC's job is to oversee the three networks, which are finite public goods, so it's a privilege and not a right, and he can always peddle his bile elsewhere. But while it makes sense for ABC to suspend Kimmel for his ethical lapses or cancel him for bad ratings, the FCC gave Jimmy and his pathetic supporters, the drug that they love most, grievance. Charlie is no longer the victim. They are, at least in their minds. This is just the latest chapter in Donald Trump's ongoing campaign to crack down on free speech.

The suppression of Democratic Party speech is coming next. This is a red line that has been crossed for our industry, for the First Amendment, for the right of people to speak. There was nothing hateful about what was said. The job should be to speak truth to power, even when there are people who don't like the word truth anymore. This is so serious, Aaron. America is a less free place if late-night comedians cannot do and say what they want. But this really does have a chilling effect across the American media.

Chilling effect. Dude, the only thing chilling is the 10-gallon jug of ranch dressing you used to make popsicles. in your fridge. This f*** watch tried to get us off the air, and now he's acting like, oh, chilling effect, shut up, Baldi. I know he can't hear me. But of course they're freaking out.

They've gotten so used to getting a free pass for their propaganda. But times have changed. Charlie changed them. His death has reset this country, and now people are actually paying attention to their words, because we saw what those words did to a fine young man.

It's interesting how the people who always claimed words equal violence now say, oh, no, it's just words. But I'm not sure they're really upset about this. Everything for them is always a performance. And now this drama gets to be about them. And not about the like-minded leftists who murdered a man over free speech.

Don't be fooled. The media is trying to make Kimmel there, Charlie Kirk, just to get the stink off them. But Kimmel's not being censored. He can still tell jokes and malign Charlie and lie about his killer. It just needs to find another place to do it. I hear Gaza is nice this time of year.

Or take my advice. Do a live show. Hold an outdoor rally and invite everyone. That's what Charlie would do. But I get it. You're not Charlie. You're not even close. Maybe it's just better to stay in studio with metal detectors and security.

It's true. He and the douchebags who support him will never debate strangers in public in front of thousands. Chris Hayes, Stelter, S.E. Cup. They will never know what it's like to stay. stand before a massive crowd and wonder, is there someone out there that might kill me? Nope, they're too busy parking their lips on Kimmel's ass. But me, this weekend, I'm doing live shows. I'll be in Allentown, PA, and then in Foxwoods, Connecticut.

There will be thousands of people there. And I'd be lying if I didn't say I'll be scanning the audience for one weirdo or two. But I'm not going to hide. And neither should you. But to be honest, I'm a little jealous of those hacks at CNN and MSNBC, because there's no risk to them. Because, first, you need an audience. And you also need to be a little dangerous,

which happens by telling the truth, which they don't. Instead, they mirror the mob, the mob that kept them safe. True, they can be fired, but they aren't being fired upon. And shame on them for not seeing the difference. Let's welcome tonight's get. Listen ad-free with a Fox News podcast plus subscription on Apple Podcasts.
