Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet said he and other members of the company are glad Jimmy Kimmel was put back on the air because it ensures he no longer has “martyr” status. “I don’t want Jimmy Kimmel to be a martyr. He doesn’t deserve it. He’s a liar, he’s an unrepentant liar, but he should not be considered a martyr by anybody,” Kolvet told Fox News Digital in a newly published interview. Kimmel’s late night show was suspended for less than a week after comments he made about the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10. This led to the Left having absolute meltdowns about free speech and suggesting that the Trump administration had orchestrating the show’s suspension. Kolvet says the best way to deal with someone like Kimmel is to let them keep lying and keep getting terrible ratings, which will eventually lead to their shows getting canceled. “It’s important that when people lie, and they lie in that type of setting and that platform about such a huge event, that there are real consequences. And I think the best consequence would be that people just tune out,” he told the outlet. “People refuse to watch a liar on TV and that when the ratings come up and the P&L statement, ABC reviews it, that they just say, ‘Hey, this isn’t worth continuing.’” “When that happens, I don’t think that he’s gonna be able to blame us for it. I think he’s just gonna have to blame himself and his own choices, and when that happens, I’m not gonna be sad about it,” Kolvet added.

By Thursday, those numbers had dropped by 64%, leveling off at 2.3 million. Kolvet said he’s been most upset to hear the narrative that political violence is “equally as extreme whether it’s on the Right or the Left.” “I think that’s why I keyed in on the Jimmy Kimmel saga because he tried to lie to his audience and tell us that it was actually somebody from the Right that killed Charlie and that’s just simply not true,” Kolvet said. “There’s no facts that back that up,” he told Fox News Digital. “And that strikes me as a really fundamental problem because … if you feel you can go into that platform and lie brazenly … that says that you don’t care about us as humans. That tells me that you think that we are worth smearing, slandering, lying about and dehumanizing people. And that’s how we get this violence in the first place.” The saga began last month when Kimmel was accused of slandering conservatives when he suggested Kirk’s assassin was part of the “MAGA gang,” despite authorities saying otherwise. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said at the time. While the host addressed the controversy during his return monologue, many viewers, including Kolvet, found his comments to be insincere. The TPUSA spokesperson called Kimmel an “unrepentant liar.”

A coalition of pro-life advocates led by Live Action President Lila Rose on Friday urged Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and FDA Commissioner Marty Makary to reverse the recent approval of an abortion drug.  Over two dozen pro-life advocates petitioned the FDA following the agency’s Tuesday approval of Evita Solutions’ generic version of mifepristone, the drug used in over 60% of all abortions. The signatories say that instead of approving new life-ending drugs, the FDA should completely remove mifepristone from the market.  “We urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to reverse this dangerous approval immediately,” the coalition wrote, according to a copy of the letter obtained by The Daily Wire. “Rather than expanding the license for these drugs, the FDA should acknowledge the clear evidence of harm and withdraw mifepristone from the market.” “Every abortion is a violation of human rights, and every life lost is an irreplaceable son or daughter. The federal government must stop enabling this violence under the false banner of ‘healthcare,’” they added.  Signers of the letter included Ethics and Public Policy Center President Ryan Anderson, Students for Life President Kristan Hawkins, and Concerned Women for America CEO Peggy Nance. On Friday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the administration did not endorse the drug, but was required by law to approve Evita’s application because it was a generic offering of a drug already offered by two other pharmaceutical companies.  The letter to Kennedy also laid out the brutal process that takes place after a mother takes a chemical abortion pill.  “A chemical abortion consists of a two-step process. First, a pregnant mother will take mifepristone to starve her preborn child to death. Next, she will take misoprostol to induce labor contractions and deliver the baby’s dead body. At this stage in the first trimester, children developing in the womb already have a detectable heartbeat and brainwaves, and are beginning to move their arms and legs,” the coalition wrote.  The coalition said that the approval contradicted a recent commitment from Kennedy to study the dangers of mifepristone.  “Yet rather than pausing to examine the mounting evidence showing the harmful effects of mifepristone, the FDA has chosen to expand access to a drug that has already killed millions of preborn children and harmed countless women, undermining the very commitment that the Secretary publicly made to protect patients,” they wrote.  Chemical abortions account for about two-thirds of all abortions in the United States and have ended the lives of at least 7.5 million unborn babies. At the same time, the mothers who take the pills often experience additional medical complications like hemorrhaging and sepsis. Studies showing the dangers of the drug have been manipulated to hide the harm, the coalition said.  The decision has already triggered outrage from many Republican lawmakers. Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) said he had completely lost faith in the FDA over the move, while over a dozen Republican representatives sent a letter on Friday telling Kennedy to fire the “rogue actors” at the agency who approved the lethal drug.

The Iowa Democratic Senate candidate who hired a now-infamous illegal immigrant to be superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools is in a dead heat with her primary opponent, a new poll obtained by The Daily Wire shows. Des Moines School Board Chair Jackie Norris, who is now running to replace outgoing Iowa Senator Joni Ernst (R), was serving the school district when Ian Andre Roberts of Guyana was hired to lead as its superintendent. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested Roberts last week after he received a deportation order from an immigration judge in May 2024 and had weapons charges from Feb. 5, 2020, the agency said. Credit: YouTube//Des Moines Register Since then, the school district has faced backlash for its vetting of Roberts when he was hired in 2023. A recent poll conducted by the National Republican Senatorial Committee found that Norris has 23% popularity, while candidates Zach Wahls has 24.7%, and Josh Turek has 17.6%. Meanwhile, 74% of the Democratic voters polled supported Norris’ recent call for “radical empathy” following Roberts’ arrest. The poll also revealed that 30% of Democrats believe it’s permissible to harass elected officials and public figures with whom they disagree. Fifty-seven percent said they support abolishing ICE altogether. The poll surveyed 579 Democratic primary voters via text-to-web surveys conducted between Sept. 29 and 30, according to the NRSC. The margin of error is ±4.05% at the 95% confidence level. Norris claimed Monday that “at no point was any DMPS employee or board member notified that Dr. Roberts was not eligible to work, either by a federal agency or Dr. Roberts.” Roberts also “stated he was a citizen” on his I-9 employment eligibility form and provided a driver’s license and social security card when he was hired, said Norris. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services also recently revealed to The Daily Wire that Roberts did not undergo an immigration employment verification check through the federal E-Verify system, which ensures workers are in the country legally and eligible to work, before assuming the role. Credit: Immigration and Customs Enforcement The Dentons Davis Brown law firm was tasked with reviewing the form and accompanying documents and stated that the information provided “did not raise concerns about his eligibility to work,” Norris said. Des Moines Public Schools also brought on the firm JG Consulting to recruit possible superintendent candidates in December 2022, the school district said. The firm used the company Baker-Eubanks to conduct a background check, which “found nothing related to citizenship or immigration matters related to Dr. Roberts,” the district said. The school district is now suing JG Consulting, saying it failed to properly vet Roberts. “Dr. Roberts should have never been presented as a potential Superintendent,” Norris said. “JG Consulting’s contract required them to bring all known information of a positive or negative nature to the Board, and since that did not happen, the Board will pursue aggressive legal action in accordance with the law.” A spokesman for Baker-Eubanks recently told The Daily Wire that “all publicly available criminal records” were shared with the school district, which “ultimately chose to proceed with the hire despite having received” Roberts’ history. Roberts subsequently resigned after being placed on unpaid leave and losing his superintendent license. When he was initially approached by ICE officers, Roberts fled the scene and abandoned his car in the nearby woods, the agency said. They eventually tracked him down and found that he had a loaded handgun, $3,000 in cash, and a fixed-blade hunting knife. Roberts first came to the U.S. in 1999 on a student visa, which has since expired.

Netflix stock went down 2.4% following Elon Musk announcing earlier this week that he was canceling his subscription. The billionaire Tesla founder made the proclamation on X Tuesday after clips of multiple children’s shows available on the platform started going viral. These animated shows, which were targeted at kids ages 7 and up, included explicitly LGBT storylines. One of the most egregious examples, “Dead End Paranormal Park,” included a cartoon character who identified as transgender. “Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids,” Musk instructed his X followers. Besides saying he was canceling Netflix, the SpaceX CEO reposted a meme of Netflix smuggling in a “transgender woke agenda” via a Trojan horse. Cancel Netflix for the health of your kids https://t.co/uPcGiURaCp — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 1, 2025 Following the clips going viral, Netflix stock dropped, and was down 2.4% as of Friday, per Forbes. Many X users flooded the platform with screenshots of proof that they had canceled their subscriptions. Netflix shares are down 4.4% in the last five days of trading, the outlet noted. Shares for the streaming platform have recently been on an upward trend, rising 30% since the beginning of last year. But Musk’s calls for a boycott did seem to make an impact, and social media users are celebrating. The offending television show wasn’t just one isolated incident. Clips have been circulating all over X highlighting LGBT themes in Netflix content aimed at young children. Another clip going viral is part of the animated show “Ridley Jones,” which includes Fred, the non-binary cow, fretting over using a “different name and pronouns” for the first time since last seeing his grandmother. In the animated show “Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous,” two women share a passionate kiss. Unbelievable. Netflix is using a children’s cartoon, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, to push same-sex sexual relationships and the LGBTQ agenda. This is the blatant sexual indoctrination of innocent children. Boycott Netflix. pic.twitter.com/pe30azv6Qm — Lila Rose (@LilaGraceRose) October 2, 2025 “CoComelon Lane” is also listed as one of the shows inspiring the boycott as it features a little boy wearing a princess dress for his two gay “dads.” The animated show “Strawberry Shortcake: Berry in the Big City” promotes transgender drag queens to kids. Chaya Raichik, who runs the popular account Libs of TikTok, has been leading the charge to expose the content of these shows and has been reposting screenshots of users proving they canceled their Netflix subscriptions, too. She also noted that Hamish Steele, the trans-identified creator of the show “Dead End Paranormal Park,” made vulgar comments on Bluesky following the assassination of Charlie Kirk last month.
