Ep. 72 | Jimmy Kimmel CANCELLED After Charlie Kirk Comments + Assassin's Shocking Text Messages EXPOSED
Description
This week has been absolutely WILD, and we're breaking down all the chaos for you. Jimmy Kimmel's show got the boot from major networks after his tone-deaf comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination, and honestly? It's about time there were consequences. We're diving deep into the text messages between the alleged assassin and his roommate (because these 22-year-olds clearly thought they were criminal masterminds), plus we're calling out Obama for his ridiculous comments about "extremism" - the audacity! Rachel nearly had a coronary over the media's desperate attempts to humanize a literal assassin, and we're not here for any of it. The gaslighting has been STRONG this week, but we're cutting through all the BS to give you the truth. Buckle up, friends - this one's a doozy!
Episode Highlights
- Jimmy Kimmel Gets the Axe - Two major media groups pulled his show indefinitely after his disgusting comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination, and he's refusing to apologize like the stubborn Hollywood elite he is.
- The Assassin's Text Messages - We break down the bizarre text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his roommate that reads like a bad Breaking Bad fanfiction, complete with "my love" and references to his grandfather's rifle.
- Obama's Audacious Comeback - The former president had the nerve to lecture about "extremism" and division while conveniently forgetting his own administration's legacy of racial tension and government overreach.
- Media's Sick Humanization Campaign - CNN panels are literally trying to paint the assassin as a troubled romantic who killed for love, and we're calling out this demonic narrative for what it is.
- JD Vance's Presidential Moment - The VP delivered exactly the kind of passionate, truth-telling response this country needed instead of milk-toast unity platitudes.
