From the bulk I was on with my girl Nicole Wallace right as the news broke about Jimmy Kimmel being back on air this Tuesday evening, which is exciting news. I was uncharacteristically optimistic and Nicole it was a rare change of role where Nicole had to offer a moment of cynicism or a moment of a counter to my more bullish pitch about the way that we're seeing some signs that people are rallying around the commitment to free speech in this country. And I do think that people, with some exceptions that are concerning that we need to keep talking about, will broadly be rallying against some of the worst of the free speech abuses of this administration, let's put it that way. So I offered that little bit of optimism. We talked about kind of a bunch of other stuff related to the Jimmy Kimmel news. So if you want a little skip in your step with optimistic Tim, stick around. Subscribe to the feed right here. Next video probably will be a little darker, but who knows, we'll see how it goes? Your first reaction? Well, my action is good. And finally, kind of finally, we've seen this from a corporate leader who has been targeted by this administration, who has done the thing that we've suggested on this program a lot that John Oliver put so succinctly on his show, which is the administration f you make me. And like, that's been. That was the most frustrating thing about this thing from the start, right? Was, you know, this is a threat to the First Amendment. This is Donald Trump, you know, trying to bully and intimidate and silence people. But he was able to do it in kind of his way, where he just sends out bleats and he just intimidates and he just says nasty things about people and he makes veiled threats and he hopes that people will just fold to his wishes. And way too many people this year, way too many prominent organizations and institutions have just fell, have just folded to his pressure campaign. And, you know, throughout all of this, we've said, well, we don't exactly know how far he will go. You know, we know how extreme his rhetoric is, but we also know about Donald Trump that he is tacoed a lot. He's chickened out a lot when, when the heat gets, when the heat gets turned up. And so rather than just fold, say, hey, you know, we want to grant you all of your authoritarian wishes and we're going to fire people to criticize you and we're going to, you know, give you pro bono legal services and on and on. Why don't these institutions say, okay, you want, you want to come after us? You want FCC Chairman Brendan Carr to come after us? Do it. Let's do, let's go to court. Like, we'll see you in court. You want the Department of Justice to go after your political foes? Find a grand jury. Like, find a grand jury that will support your allegations. Right. And, and if you start doing that, then this admin administration, I think, is going to be slowed down quite a bit in their authoritarian aspirations. And you can see that maybe the pro democracy side can get some wins under their belt. And I think that, to me, that is the big message of this, which was the main issue. As serious as the threats to the First Amendment for the administration was, the main issue in this particular case was just how easily people were folding. They did this. They silenced Jimmy Kimmel without any actual tangible threats to them. At least at the Disney level, that might be different. When we get down to the affiliate level, in the category of how bad is he? He's so bad, he's lost the likes of Rand Paul and Ted Cruz and many others. Tim, just take me inside what's happening on the maga, right? Well, look, this is maybe a glimmer of hope. I love when I get to do a rare glimmer of hope on this show. Nicole is like, there are a bunch of issues in which the right is happy to be totally cynical and partisan, nearly all of them, frankly. And we've seen that with Donald Trump, right, where they've been willing to be lockstep with him and apologize for him no matter what his corruption is, no matter his cruelty, no matter how non conservative he is. Tariffs, we can go down the whole list. The free speech issue is just so fundamental. It's not even just Republicans, but it's just society wide. It's just such a part of the American fabric. Like anybody that's American is like, this is, it's the First Amendment. Like we are in America. We get to say what we want. Like we don't have kings, we don't have dictators telling us to shut us up. And it's, it is instinctual for a whole lot of people, not everybody, but a whole lot of people. And that is including some people within the Trump, within the MAGA movement. It includes a lot of the people who are in like you played all the actors. It's obvious why earlier in the show, why all of them care about this. But that's also true of the podcasters of comedians, of a lot of the manosphere folks we talk about this. This is essential for a lot of folks in this country, including a lot of people that, that supported Donald Trump. And so while they're willing to suffer a lot of other indignities and humiliations on his behalf, there's at least some minority percentage of them that start to get their backup. And it's like, hey, you're. I'm not allowed to say what I want. I'm not allowed to criticize people in power. I'm not allowed to make jokes about things that, that feels very un American. And, and I think it's a good sign that we've seen some pushb within his coalition on this from a bunch of different vectors.
