No, Jimmy Kimmel giving up already.
I mean, it's like, it's done.
No one wants you on TV.
You got 70 affiliates that are like, no, no, no, please get this guy away fast and get him away today.
Now, I'm telling you, Bob Eiger is in some tough, you know what.
And this guy, Jimmy Kimmel, I think he's asking like, what's that mean?
Like grumpy cat?
He looks kind of angry here.
Does he not?
Oh, yeah.
Someone found him in the airport.
How did Obama do?
Listen, I'm not interested in this.
How many times do you have to tell you?
He doesn't want to talk about it.
He doesn't want to talk about it because guess what?
This is a career ender.
I mean, finish finito.
And you can go on all you want.
Oh, this is President Trump doing this.
It's not, actually.
It's the affiliates.
Because the affiliates are like, gee, we have a lot of people here in some pretty big markets,
including we're talking markets like D.C.
We're talking markets like Philadelphia that don't actually align with Jimmy's School of Thought.
I mean, Jimmy's School of Thought, which is left of left of left.
I mean, for goodness sakes, the guy hasn't even had, oh, forgive me, he had one.
He had one conservative on his show in three years time.
What's that about, ladies and gentlemen?
That's about propaganda with a capital P, okay?
I'm sorry, but when you only put Libs on your program over and over and over again,
I think we do actually have an issue.
So here's the New York Times writing on this saying local TV giants.
They're refusing to air this thing.
They don't want anything to do with them.
Together, these two TV station groups,
and we're talking about Sinclair and Next Star,
they control more than 20% of all of ABC's local affiliates.
So he's losing 20% of his market.
Bob Hager's sitting there going, what do I do?
Right?
Like, nobody wanted me in this job to come back anyway.
Here I am.
The stock is doing miserably bad.
I mean, I think it was like 123 when he came.
in, it's now like 113, the stock hasn't moved anywhere in five years. Actually, maybe it has.
It's moved down like 10% while the stock market has doubled. So basically, you got dead money
in Disney. You need this new CEO, for goodness sake, a new CEO and fast. And this guy clearly
can't figure it out. So again, this is not the one I wanted to show you. Fox News is apparently
buying TikTok, but that's another story. I think we covered that yesterday. Did you guys see
that some concerns about maybe a little too much fox in the conservative media world.
Anyway, that's neither here nor there.
We're talking about ABC, which is the liberal media world, and the liberal media world has
gotten super-duper liberal.
I do want to touch on what's going on at the UN.
We're going to get to that in a second.
But first, back to poor Jimmy, because even People magazine is saying, you know, this is
kind of, this is sort of atrocious.
I mean, Jimmy Kimmel had an opportunity to go on and apologize.
to Charlie Kirk's family. I mean, it might be kind of a nice thing to do. I mean, you just said that
the guy that ended his life, ended that beautiful marriage he had with his wife, Erica, ended those
children's hope of having a father. You were asked to apologize because you said that the guy who
did all that was actually a MAGA person, which you knew wasn't true. Everyone on your 200
producer strong team knew was not true. And yet you did it anyway, Jimmy. And you don't have
the common decency and the kindness to actually go and say, hey, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to
apologize for this. Like, why wouldn't you, why wouldn't you do that? Because you're kind of, I don't know,
maybe a bad person. Maybe you actually believe all this propaganda that you're selling. You know,
Johnny Carson actually said this and I played this on my shorts clip over the weekend. Johnny Carson
talked about how he never went down that road. He did this interview in the 1980.
he was 60 minutes. I think it was with Mike Wallace. And he was like, you know, why would I do that?
I'm an entertainer. I didn't need to get into that because at that point, like, I'm really trying
to sway people in a political way. And that's not my job. My job is to make them laugh.
Well, Jimmy apparently saw it as his job because three whole years and only one conservative guest.
And that guest was none other than James Woods. And he's tweeted about this. And he's like,
oh, I had to be super careful. And there are all these restrictions and this, that and the other.
Give me a break. You know, we don't need it. Half the country doesn't want to watch it.
And by the way, your ratings have sucked, okay, for 10 years.
Look at this in the last decade.
And granted part of this is that everybody's coming over here, right?
Like, this is where it's at over in Streamingland at YouTube.
I hope that you're subscribed, that you're sharing, that you're commenting, all that stuff.
I can actually read your comments in real time.
So careful.
Careful.
But look at this.
You know, he's lost 72% of his viewers in the key demo.
So these ratings were a disaster.
You know, if I'm Disney,
I want them gone anyway. Who the heck needs a 200 person produced show on an hour that nobody watches?
And by the way, it's not like the clips go viral or anything. Why? Oh, because they're stuck in the
dark ages where if I were to even run a clip without proper permission and, you know, some kind of
contract signed. Guess what? I can't even run it. I can't run it because I'm going to get hit with
a bunch of copyright things by these morons who, if they knew any better, they would say Trish Regan
and everyone else, please run our material all day long. Run our material because we actually
still want to be relevant. But they don't understand the new world in which they live.
They don't understand the fact that they have all become dinosaurs overnight.
Ozelia who understands one president, Donald J. Trump.
How do you don't like be grounds for losing a broadcast license?
Well, I think when a network is dishonest, certainly, if they are dishonest,
because they give you 97% bad publicity or whatever it is, some ridiculous number,
Yeah, I would say that would be ground here.
Just a little, you know.
So before everybody flips out, oh, this is free speech, I just want to remind you of a
distinction.
We've been going through this over the last couple of days, but I think it's important
to just say it again.
I've worked in network television.
I've worked in cable television.
Now I work in streaming.
They're very different business lines.
But I can assure you that whenever I was at network television broadcast TV, it was actually
really important.
This was back in the day.
Okay, we're talking.
I mean, gosh, I started there in like two.
2004. So that was actually back in a time when there was management that cared about having both sides
and you were very careful about how you phrased things. I mean, everything went out the window
starting in 2016 when Donald Trump walked down that escalator. You know, I know. They know. They can
pretend otherwise. But back in the day, you were actually really careful to make sure you always
had both sides because that was part of the obligation. It's like the 1934 Communications Act.
and you have an obligation to be very fair because you're there for community interest
and the community relies on you.
Well, what happens when you're no longer fair?
What happens when you have only one side?
What happens when you're Jimmy Kimmel and you only put one conservative on your show in three years' time?
Well, then you become something else.
Then at that point you are a wing and arm of the Democrat Party.
And that's where I believe the FCC has some room to run.
I mean, if Jimmy wants to do this show over on MSNBC, be our guest, right?
Hey, Jimmy, you can go do that all day long and you're fine. Just like Greg Gutfeld has his show on
Fox and it has a conservative bent, right? He can do that. Totally, totally fine to do because it is
cable television. But when you're talking about public airways, it's a different kind of thing.
Donald Trump has brought this up over and over again, again, with this idea that you have to have
some public good. Disney could be forced to choose between Jimmy Kimmel and the NFL as a massive ESPN deal looms.
That's another big headline coming out today, this in the New York Post.
The reason for that is that they do need to get some approval from the FCC.
And let's just say the FCC is not really in the approval kind of mindset these days, right?
You know, the FCC has a whole lot of power and they don't seem afraid to be able to use it,
which I think could actually result in one Bob Iger possibly losing his job.
Again, the stock price has been a disaster.
Disney theme parks.
You won't talk a disaster, for goodness sakes.
So crowded, you got rides breaking down.
Who the heck wants to sit there after you've paid 100?
And God knows what dollars to sit in the line for three hours.
I mean, it's out of control.
They need to fix that.
Nobody's going to go and do that anymore.
Not to mention all these lousy movies.
Look at the Marvel franchise.
It's just a total disaster.
They kept going woker and woker and woker and woker and woker and they thought it was going to make it better and better and better.
And you know what? Nobody wanted to see their movies. Everybody stayed home so they have not had any successes.
They keep coming up with sequels because there's not an original thought in these brains. That's what
happens. They figure they can just wokeify Snow White and it will all be good. Now, that's not how it works,
guys, okay? You're going to have to create the new Snow White. You're going to actually have to use
some creative talent, but where's your creative talent? I mean, when you only hire people based on,
do they check a box? That won't work. It's
I mean, it doesn't work in any environment.
Maybe you've got some brownie points from the Biden administration for that.
You definitely not getting any brownie points from this administration for that.
But let's just talk about succeeding as a business.
Politics aside, people just want to watch a good show.
They want to take their kids to a good show, have them watch it, enjoy it.
Maybe they want to watch some late-night TV on old-fashioned traditional television.
And maybe they don't feel like getting bombarded.
with the chaos that Jimmy Kimmel or lies, frankly, that Jimmy Kimmel is putting towards them.
And so from a pure business standpoint, politics aside, I mean, you guys made some wrong
decisions. And I would just say that Bob Hagger, Bobby Boy, you know what, you're getting
up there. Aren't you past retirement age as it is? Just retire, for God's sakes. I know you
hate to talk about that. I know that because his PR person, whenever he would do an interview
with me, would always say, please don't bring up retirement. So I'm bringing it up.
bringing it up with a capital R, E, T-I-R-E-T-I-N-T, it is time.
Bob Eager, buddy, boy, two, give it up.
You got two young kids, go spend some time with them and your beautiful wife, okay?
She's got a great soccer team as well.
Focus on that because you haven't been able to mind this store.
You haven't been able to manage this business.
This should not have gotten so out of control.
Maybe if you had said to Jimmy, gee, what do you think of her monologue tonight?
a guy who was kind of important in the conservative unisphere, he just died. And maybe there should be
a sensitivity tip amongst you and your producers when it comes to that. Instead, do you know,
he was actually going to double down on it? If you're looking at this picture right here on the live
show as we are live right now on YouTube, I'm looking at Dana Walden and I'm looking at the Disney
CEO, Bob Iger, you got Jimmy in the middle. So Dana and Bob found out that Jimmy was going to go on
the next night and double down on his lies.
He was going to double down and say, yeah, this kid was part of MAGA, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And they were like, oh, gosh, you know, we can't have that.
And that is why they pulled his show.
But today, now they're out with a statement.
And they say, well, last Wednesday we made the decision just to suspend production on the show
to avoid further inflaming a tense situation and an emotional moment for our country.
It is a decision we made because we felt some of the comments were ill-timed and thus insensitive.
We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy,
and after those conversations, we reached the decision to return this show to air on Tuesday, i.e. tonight.
So, you know what?
Here's the moral of the story.
Dana, you're out.
Bobby, you're out.
Jimmy, you're out.
You guys have a lousy company, and now this thing just blew up in your face.
I don't know how you survive it.
I mean, the Bud Light CEO, he got to stay another day.
But the marketing gal, she went and the head of marketing for that company, he went.
And the target CEO, he went.
I mean, you see how these things happening.
We're talking about a boycott on all sides for Disney right about now.
Yeah, nobody likes Disney.
It's happening all over the place.
So when I look at these people in management, I'm like, I don't know how you stay on.
I'll tell you, Mike Eisner doesn't know how they stay on.
He's the former head of Disney.
He was actually a pretty good CEO.
He and I used to work together over at CNBC.
He had a show on CNBC.
I also had a show on CNBC.
11 a.m. every day, top-rated show.
We're growing here, too.
One million strong and counting.
Make sure you subscribe, share, like.
Anyway, Michael Eisner.
That's what I called him, right?
Did I call him Michael Eisner.
You can see his picture there on the screen.
He's out, like saying, what the heck are you doing, Bob?
You know, you got to stand up.
You got to stand up for your talent.
Okay, fine.
You know what? Stand up for your talent, but you shouldn't have your talent or the inmates,
as I should say, running the asylum. In other words, somebody had to manage this entire apparatus
that is Disney long before it became so crazy. And so at some point in that three-year period,
you might have said to Jimmy, hey, let's try and book a couple of conservatives. I mean, heck,
you got your friend Arnold on the view the other day and nearly not to joy and whoopey off the
couch when he dared to say that, oh gosh, you know, if you're staying in someone's country as an
immigrant, you ought to show some manners. So do a little more of that.
I mean, you've got to know a few conservatives out there in La La Land, right? I mean, we've seen
some, like a few of them who have come out actually for Charlie. But this is the problem you're
now in. You get a boycott underway from the left and the right. So celebrities are threatening
to break ties with Disney. You've got conservatives saying, well, I never want to see another Disney
thing again, no thank you.
And by the way, Conservatives are the ones that used to go to the theme parks.
Seriously, I remember when I first went to Fox, like, I liked Disney back in the day.
I mean, I liked it so much.
I was like, I think we should get a timeshare.
My husband's like, first of all, time share, second of all, Disney?
I love it.
I love it.
It felt so Americana, but it's just deteriorated ever since Donald Trump came into power.
Or perhaps we should say, since Bob Eager and then the second Bob.
Remember Bob Chappell came in and then, oh, then we have Bob Iger again.
So our third Bob in 10 years, this is not going well.
I'm looking for Michael Eisner again, okay?
Even if he's liberal, he knew how to run a company.
And I don't think he would have allowed Jimmy to do what Jimmy did.
I don't think he would have allowed the view to do what the view has done.
I don't think he would have allowed these theme parks to have these insane lines with rides breaking down all the time all while you're charging a gargantium fortune.
Right?
Like that doesn't make any sense.
I don't think he would have said, okay, let's rely on sequel.
after sequel after sequel and let's just wokeify it. So everybody will really love it. Wrong.
Okay, so John Oliver now, he's coming out on HBO and he's blasted. I mean, like,
everybody is blasting Jimmy Kimmel and Bob Iger.
Jimmy Kimmel's getting it from the conservatives, Bob Iger's getting it from the libs.
Everybody's boycotting the company. So really and truly, I ask you, how does this company stay in
business? Keep in mind what's happening at this point. You got Next Star. You've got Sinclair. They
control big, big, big affiliates, including in D.C. and Philadelphia, they're not going to put
them back on the air. So, like, clearly, whatever you were doing, talking to Jimmy all these last
few days alongside your colleague, their day not, like, you guys didn't get through to him
because he's not willing to do anything. So, you know, nothing's changed. This is the career
ender for Jimmy Kimmel, and quite possibly the career ender for one Bob either. Oh, couldn't have
do a nicer team, right? Jimmy Kimmel, on his way out, mark my words, when have I been wrong?
When have I been wrong? And you know what, Jimmy Kimmel's not the only one you get stuff going on
over at the view. We've talked about that. It's going to happen. Okay, it's just going to happen.
Here he is talking about this is Donald Trump just a couple of weeks ago. Well, what the heck? I mean,
they aren't paying anything for these FCC license. So he's like, maybe we just find them.
Maybe we just give them these really big licensing fees because how can you be functioning like this?
You don't have any Republicans or conservatives on your show.
You give unfair coverage to one side at all times.
Enough is enough, right?
Seems to me.
Seems to me, ladies and gentlemen, for goodness sakes.

give you the name. What the heck right now? We had written about them, maybe about six months ago or

situation. I'm glad I'm not in New York City today. Donald Trump's over at the UN. He's really
telling them off as only Donald Trump can. This stuff is great. I have so much good sound to play
you because it is hysterical. Okay, so first of all, we got a few little tech issues going on. What's
that about? I mean, did you see the escalator just stopping? I want to show you this here.
The escalator just gave out.
Okay. Do you see that? Okay. So they're approaching. They're getting close to the
escalator. They're approaching. They're approaching. And then all of a sudden, da-da-da-da.
It stops. Totally stops. There's the president, Melania. So they clobes. So they clobody.
I'm up. That's a little peculiar, don't you think? I mean, so, you know, okay, whatever. The escalator
had a problem. But then there's another problem. We just put this one in my shorts feed.
The teleprompter was busted. I get some issues going on at the UN. I mean, first the escalator,
now the teleprompter? I don't mind making the speech without a teleprompter. He doesn't need one.
Because the teleprompter is not working. I feel very happy to be a little bit. I don't mind. I don't mind. I feel very happy to be a
up here with you nevertheless.
And that way you speak more from the heart.
I can only say that whoever's operating this teleprompter is in big trouble.
You better believe it.
Yep.
Big, big trouble.
I mean, is it a coincidence?
Oddly.
The director of Homeland Security came out with something on Twitter today.
He posted saying that they had actually found
that there was an attempt to try and take down the cell phone networks around the UN,
and they thwarted that a while back, and they wanted everybody know they were safe, et cetera,
but what was the attempt to take down the communication?
I'm like, okay, well, you know, so they weren't able to do that.
So they decided to have the teleprompter go out and the escalator go out?
Come on, is that petty or what?
It could just be a coincidence, let's say.
We'll go with that.
We'll go with that.
Anyway, he had a very pointed message for all those of years.
Europeans all into their NATO thing. He's like, mm-mm, careful. Quite a warning. Let's listen in.
Europe is in serious trouble. They've been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody's ever seen before.
Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe. Nobody is ever, and nobody's doing anything to change it, to get them out.
It's not sustainable. And because they choose to be politically correct,
They're doing just absolutely nothing about it.
And I have to say, I look at London where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible
mayor.
And it's been so changed, so changed.
Now they want to go to Sharia law.
But you're in a different country.
You can't do that.
Both the immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe
if something is not done immediately.
They cannot, this cannot be sustained.
So he was pretty direct, pretty pointed.
And again, he's talking about the sort of open entry that they've had from so many people in the Middle East
coming into parts of Europe and not really adhering to the cultural norms of Europe.
I've reported on this in the past, for example, in Germany, where they did under Angela Merkel,
they welcomed all of these Syrians in as refugees.
The problem was they had no way of integrating them into society.
So they couldn't write German, they couldn't speak German, and they had a set of customs
that was extraordinarily different from any that the Germans were used to, including, this one
always got me, I guess, as a woman, the swimming pool.
So there's a tradition in Germany, and everybody goes to the swimming pool.
It's like the YMCA, right?
You go to the pool, you swim together, and they suddenly had to start changing that after putting
up signage everywhere, saying you can't grab women, you can't grab their swimsuits, that you
actually couldn't defecate in the pool. I mean, wild, right? But they were trying to teach them on
this etiquette, and it wasn't working. So ultimately, what many of these pools in these local communities
did was they decided they would have separate hours for swimming when it would be women or men
so that you wouldn't have women and men swimming together. And I'm like, what is going on? I'm sorry,
but like, why are you changing your culture for them? They are the guest to go back to what Arnold
Schwarzenegger told Joy Behar.
and she nearly fell off her seat.
You're the guest, right?
So you have to adhere to their customs.
It is what it is.
And so Germany shouldn't be changing themselves.
London should not have to change themselves.
You have a group of people that have already been there.
If you're coming in, you would think that you want to,
what is that expression that we used to talk about in grades called the melting pot, right?
Not the salable, the melting pot.
We've got to all sort of be one here together.
He reiterated this point and said, listen, we're not going to be part of this at the
We're not going to partake in promoting these NGOs that are going to promote these immigration
standards, which we don't think are healthy for us or healthy for Europe.
Watch.
Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should, too often, it's actually creating new problems
for us to solve.
The best example is the number one political issue of our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration.
It's uncontrolled.
Your countries are being ruined.
The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries and their borders.
In 2024, the UN budgeted $372 million in cash assistance to support an estimated 624,000
migrants journeying into the United States.
Think of that.
The UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the United States, and then we have to get them out.
The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards to illegal aliens.
Can you believe that?
On the way to infiltrate our southern border.
Millions of people came through that southern border.
Just a year ago, millions and millions of people were pouring in, 25 million altogether over
the four years of the incompetent Biden administration.
And now we have it stopped, totally stopped.
In fact, they're not even coming anymore because they know they can't get through.
But what took place is totally unacceptable.
The UN is supposed to stop invasions, not create them and not finance them.
In the United States, we reject the idea that mass numbers of people from foreign lands
can be permitted to travel halfway around the world, trample our borders, violate our sovereignty,
cause unmitigated crime, and deplete our social safety net.
He's not going to have it.
I mean, this is entirely what he ran on.
And by the way, this is actually what is seeing him successful.
I mean, you look at all the poll numbers, and I realize, you know, he's not doing as well.
I beg to differ because when you look at the GOP as a whole, who do Americans trust when it comes to the issue of the economy?
Guess what?
By like a seven point advantage?
The GOP.
when it comes to issues of immigration, you get like a 13 point advantage there.
Again, GOP.
When it comes to law and order, again, GOP.
I mean, this is pretty consistent.
And so I think there's lots of changes coming.
These NGOs that would funnel money to organizations that might not be in our interest.
Those days are over as Marco Rubio outlined to one, Georgie Poo, I like to call him Georgiepoo.
Georgeie, Stephanopolis, did I say it right?
He's little Georgie, because whenever I'd go on the set and believe me, I used to go on ABC
morning America. They tried to hire me at one point, but I went to Bloomberg. And I go on the
set and I'm like, come on, can I put my chair up a little, please? Like down here, like in the case table
and Georgie would be up here. But, you know, in real life, I'm 5'7 plus good set of heels.
Georgie's like up to here in real life. Anyway, you know, it's TV. It's TV, baby. He gets to make
his guests sit on the little kid's chair. Here he is. Marco. School in.
him watch we shut down aID because it was a dysfunctional organization we moved in under the
state department number two we are going to do more foreign aid than any country in the world than any
country in the world we're going to do more than anyone in the world again this year but we're
going to do it the right way we're going to do it holistically we're going to do it as part of an
integrated foreign policy we are not going to fund an NGO industrial complex that built itself
up that was taking a substantial percentage of the money and not going directly to the recipients
It was going to these organizations that had multi-billion dollar projects and budgets.
We're not going to continue to do it that way.
We are going to provide aid.
We're providing aid now.
We just rolled out our new initiative on health.
It's going to be much more successful and much more effective.
We're going to enter into direct compacts with the countries.
We're going to empower our embassies and our ambassadors to direct which projects we fund
and how much money countries are going to be receiving.
So we are restructuring the way we do aid.
It's going to be far more effective.
and it's going to be integrated into our holistic foreign policy.
That's all in the future.
But are you standing by that comment that you're saying that no one has died?
No one has died because of the aid cuts.
Are all those aid organizations lying?
That's ridiculous.
Well, first of all, well, then they died because England didn't give enough money or Canada didn't give more or China did.
Let's blame the other countries that don't do any foreign aid.
How about China?
I mean, China's second largest economy in the world, they don't give money to these projects.
So you're no longer disputing that the aid cuts have cost people's lives.
You're no longer disputing that.
It didn't.
I think anybody who,
who tells you that somehow it's the United States,
if we cut a dollar, somehow we're responsible
for some horrific thing that's going on in the world,
it's just not true.
Beyond that, I would say that in some of these places that they cite,
the reason why the aid didn't get there, someone's going to die.
One of the reason why some of these places didn't get the aid
is not because we cut the aid,
it's because there's a war going on,
and the aid never got to the people.
So in Sudan, for example, it's not just a humanitarian catastrophe.
It's a war zone.
I'm just going to jump in.
The aid is impeded.
In fact, they use aid as a tool against the people.
the people and so blocking aid as a tool.
You understand money is fungible, right?
So you can say, okay, we're giving aid money.
And then the people in charge, they take that money and they don't send it to the people.
They don't get them food.
They don't get them aid.
They actually use it to buy more weapons.
So that's where it becomes very nuanced and very challenging.
And you've got to be smart about that, which this team is.
This team really and truly is.
Donald Trump also addressing the climate issue head on.
He said, and I quote, Europe reduced its carbon footprint by 37 percent.
Congratulations, Europe, great job.
You cost yourself a lot of jobs and factories, but you reduced your carbon footprint.
And so, you know, I think he's just sort of saying enough is enough.
All that sacrifice has been totally wiped out and then some by a global increase in carbon of 54%.
So again, the point being, if you don't have everyone on board and you don't have commitments from the likes of India and China,
then how are you really going to get these things done?
Finally, somebody with a little bit of common sense, I know it's not always belittle.
correctly correct to hear. I know it like freaks some people out sometimes, but listen,
if there are things that must be said, must be said. And one of those things that must be said
is Jimmy Campbell is going to fail. And Bob Eiger is going to be losing his job. It's only a matter
of time. Shareholders can only take so much. The media world is changing. Disney hasn't
figured out how to get on board. Their streaming situation is a mess.
content is not watchable and their parks are painful.
So it's a great brand. I'd love to see it continue. I want to get back to the
days when I actually like Disney. It's going to take a lot to get there. Thank you for
