Jimmy Kimmel and the Free Speech Debate - Live DiscussionUpdate: 2025-09-20
Description
Recorded live on Friday, September 19, 2025, at 8:00 PM EST, hosts Billy Dees and Cynthia Elliott dive into the controversy surrounding Jimmy Kimmel’s dismissal from ABC. From there, the conversation expands into a deeper examination of free speech—both on the broadcast airwaves and in the broader public forum.
The airwaves are public property, leased by the government to private broadcasters under the expectation that they serve the common good. But what happens when programming delivers heavily slanted political commentary or outright misinformation? Is that really in service of the public?
This thought-provoking discussion explores multiple dimensions of free expression, responsibility, and the balance between profit and the public interest.
