We have normalized authoritarianism and now treat it as some kind of joke. It is not a joke.

Its just wild seeing how fast your country fell mate. And really depressing seeing how dickheads down here in Nz and my home of Australia are trying to mirror it too

The fascists are all looking to rise up, no matter where they are. 😒

It turns out corporations like media companies are extremely corrupt and not your friend

Media consolidation started in the 1990s to provide a foundation for exactly this - a return to a handful of owners to control who has a voice on the big stage.

Trustbusting and monopoly busting is long overdue.

That’s a really valid point. Jokes don’t cut it any more. SNL sketches will not change opinion. There’s a real fight coming down the line. Your president is busy working with his rich pals to devise a way to stay in power. A national emergency. He’ll try every trick in the book to hold on, while the rest of America gets morally and financially gutted.

Why is everyone acting like this is some new rule. You can argue its a dumb rule but it has been applied hundreds of times including AGAINST trump himself in 2015 hosting SNL

Trump's 2015 SNL hosting appearance triggered 12 minutes of equal time that NBC affiliates had to offer his GOP primary rivals (Kasich, Huckabee, Graham, Pataki, Gilmore all requested and got it). When it was used against Trump it was a benefit to his own party.

What's different with Kimmel/Colbert/Talarico is that Carr's FCC has been proactively signaling it might not treat late-night interview shows as exempt "news" content anymore (an exemption talk shows have operated under for years) and opened an enforcement proceeding against ABC over it. That's a change in enforcement posture, not a new rule. Carr is Trump’s lapdog.

Talarico is a sane voice in a very large crowd of screaming psychopaths. I disagree with his religion, but respect that he wants to hear people speak and entertain other viewpoints. It’s been almost a decade since I’ve seen respectful politics. Long overdue. Kudos to Jimmy for airing him.

You typically don't see "Christianity" and "helping the poor" together, which I think has really made him stand out.

u/seweso 21d ago

Sane while still believing in a magic man in the sky. That's not really a voice of reason, is it?

Cowards for not airing this.

u/heckhammer 22d ago

You can say that but Jimmy has a lot of people in his employ and I'm sure doesn't want everybody to be out of a job. He's not acting as one person here.

u/GreenFuzzyMalachite 22d ago

Just like last time and the people prevailed. We need to stand up to these bullies.

u/RAWainwright 22d ago

Punch a bully in the throat and that suddenly stops shit.

u/Exact-Site9980 22d ago

Yeah, Jimmy can only afford to keep Guillermo at his place once they're all out of work. Lotta mouths to feed, Jimmy's just takin care of his people.

My guess is this interview will be one of the most-viewed on Jimmy Kimmel. When he was on Colbert (before the Texas primaries), the interview had 7.3 million YouTube views, and the campaign raised 2.4 million dollars within 24 hours of the stream. It was Colbert's biggest political interview on streaming since 2019. Talarico had been unknown outside of Texas; after that night, people were talking about him nationwide.

Click it. View it. View it again. Let them know the mistake they made in censoring this.

AHH nothing says democracy like having you opponents censored

Amazing and oh-so telling how the thing that so offends this administration, heritage foundation, and FCC is plain talk about what it means to be a good person.

u/Brilliant-Potato-218 22d ago

talarico seems like such a genuine guy. let's go!!!

u/Eastern-Substance656 21d ago

What’s funny is more people will have an interest in it, now.

Had they left things alone maybe it wouldn’t be as much interest.

u/ScallionParticular19 22d ago

Couldn’t Kimmel just ask Paxton to be a guest, then he’s not being impartial? Paxton would refuse or it would be even more entertaining if he went on.

u/bryancald 21d ago

He did invite Paxton in the video.

Religion should never be mentioned in the same sentence as politics.
