Did the government take Jimmy Kimmel off the air?

Don Lemon just threw another hissy fit… Man, this guy sure is thin-skinned! Don went on Piers Morgan’s show and was asked a pretty fair and straightforward question by Piers and he went into total free-fall. Watch here: Don Lemon becomes visibly enraged as Piers Morgan rolls the very clip that got him fired from CNN. “Not once did you mention that we were gonna talk about CNN or whatever. And had I known that, I probably wouldn’t have accepted this interview.” What followed was a heated… pic.twitter.com/pYw40RmT2K — Vigilant Fox (@VigilantFox) September 18, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: This is what led to you leaving CNN. Let’s take a look at the clip. She says people, you know, politicians or something, are not in their prime. Nikki Haley isn’t in her prime, sorry. Women, a woman is considered to be in her prime in her 20s and 30s and maybe 40s. What are you talk— That’s not according— Wait. That’s not according to me, you know— Prime for what? Uh, uh, it depends. I mean, it’s just like prime, if you look it up, if you Google when is a woman in her prime, it’ll say 20s, 30s, and 40s. I don’t necessarily— Oh, 40s. Oh, I got it another decade. I’m not saying I agree with that. So I think she has to be careful about saying that. When you watched that, Don, I happened to be watching that live, and I was like, “Whoa, what did he just say?” What, what, do you, I mean, if you had a do-over, would you say that again? I mean, what led you to say that? Okay, Piers, let me just say this. I, I’m, I’m gonna answer your question, but just so the audience knows, and I hope you don’t cut this out. When I asked you what subjects you wanted to talk about, you know what you said to me? You said, “I wanna talk to you about, uh, freedom of speech in America—” Mm-hmm. “—and the response to Charlie Kirk’s death.” Yeah. Not once did you mention that we were gonna talk about CNN or whatever, so— And had I known that, I probably wouldn’t have, uh, accepted this interview. This is a view that— And you have invited me on many times and I tell you, “Piers, I know you. Uh, I would come on your show, but I don’t do panels.” And so when you said you, “I’m not gonna be involved in a panel,” I agreed to come on your show, but I thought you would also stick by the subjects that you told me that you were gonna talk about— Well, just to be clear, Don, Don— Rather than try to ambush me with something. Don, just to be clear— So, yes? You and I haven’t— Well, Don, just to be clear, you, you and I haven’t had any conversation about your appearance here. You’re talking about my team talking to you? Yeah, no, and I saw you, Piers, in a restaurant, and I said, “Hey, Piers, good to see you.” “I would come on your show, but I don’t do panels.” Right, you’re not on a panel. And I said the same thing to your bookers. There’s only one of you, Don. And so when I asked you— And, right, okay, and so, yes, and I said that’s why I agreed to do it. Mm-hmm. But when you asked me, or when your, your team asked me what subjects, and I asked them 2 or 3 times, I have the text messages, “What do you want to cover?” Yeah. Not once was CNN mentioned. So I don’t appreciate being ambushed, but let me answer your question since you— Ambushed? Since we are here. Okay? Hang on, hang on one second. Oh, Don, Don. Okay? Don, hang on one second. Let’s just be crystal clear about what’s just happened. You brought up the, the subject of cancel culture. I asked you, did you feel your departure from CNN was an example of that? And you answered the question. Mm-hmm. And I think it’s perfectly reasonable— And I answered the question. Perfectly reasonable in that if you’d have said to me, “I don’t wanna talk about it.” Uh, uh, Piers, I don’t think it’s— Fine. But, but, uh, no, so sorry. Piers, that, that is, uh— You made— No, you said what you were gonna say. That is completely disingenuous. And by the way, we, we don’t, Don— I don’t wanna get— Don, we don’t, we don’t edit— Piers, I don’t like arguing like this. I’m not gonna get into an arguage— argument with you. Piers, I think that’s completely disingenuous, and I think anyone watching that, this will know that. What are you talking about? And so if you will let me, if you will allow me, please, just please stop interrupting me, okay? What are you talking about? I’m— Did you invite me here to interrupt me or are you gonna let me answer the question? I think you’re being a complete dick, if I’m honest with you. Okay. I do. Well, that’s very kind and respectful of you. It wasn’t intended to be kind or respectful. I, I, I don’t like the homonym attacks.

The Senate unanimously voted to approve legislation designating October 14th as the “National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk,” to honor his legacy on his birthday.

As the shock dies down about “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” being suspended until further notice, industry insiders are circulating theories as to why this happened now, when leftists have been left unchecked for years to spread lies about conservatives. While the Left cries about “free speech” and “cancel culture,” and blames the whole thing on Trump, the truth appears to be a lot more of a logical business decision than it is a massive conspiracy. The New York Post noted on Thursday that Nexstar, one of the massive media companies behind Kimmel’s cancellation, is poised to enter into a $6.2 billion merger with its next-biggest rival, Tegna. The move will be closely watched by the FCC, as it could be seen as violating antitrust laws. Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said Kimmel’s comments were “offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse.” The outlet noted how FCC Chairman Brendan Carr was furious over Kimmel’s statements, telling conservative podcast host Benny Johnson that Kimmel’s comments represented “some of the sickest conduct possible,” and that there could be “a path forward for suspension over this.” “This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney,” Carr said. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way.” “Clearly, Nexstar is sucking up to Carr,” a telecom lawyer told Fox News correspondent Charles Gasparino on Wednesday. “Kimmel’s comments are noxious, but from a First Amendment standpoint, they would have been protected in the past. He’s a comedian, so how is he distorting the news unless you have a deal to be approved by the FCC?” Reactions online have been divided on partisan lines, with the Left freaking out over censorship and the Right insisting this is the standard that was set long ago by the same leftists who now oppose it. The comments from Kimmel that prompted the backlash included the host claiming that Kirk’s assassin was a MAGA supporter. Investigators say that the 22-year-old man arrested for Kirk’s killing was deeply steeped in leftist ideology and disliked the conservative commentator for his beliefs. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” Kimmel said during his show. This prompted Sinclair, another major media group, to suspend “Jimmy Kimmel Live” until further notice. There’s been a big shakeup in the media since the Trump administration took over. George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS, discussed the cancellation of “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert in July 2025. His statements came on the same day that Paramount Global and Skydance Media finalized their $8.4 billion merger. “The challenge in late night is that the advertising marketplace is in significant secular decline,” Cheeks said following the deal closing, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “We are huge fans of Colbert, we love the show, unfortunately the economics made it a challenge for us to keep going.” Also in July, Paramount Global agreed to a $16 million settlement in a lawsuit Trump had brought that accused the media outlet of election interference. The lawsuit stemmed from an interview CBS News’ “60 Minutes” conducted with Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris one month before the 2024 election. The lawsuit alleged that the interview was edited to make it seem more coherent than it really was.

The Republican-led Senate confirmed 48 of President Donald Trump’s remaining nominees for below-cabinet-level federal positions, moving ahead with what’s called an “en bloc” nominee package after Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) invoked the nuclear option. The bloc of 48 nominees confirmed on Thursday included a number of lower level War Department positions — and several ambassadorships including those held by Kimberly Guilfoyle and Callista Gingrich — and passed 51-47 along party lines. WATCH: 48 NOMINEES: CONFIRMED TODAY ✅@SenateGOP ended liberal obstruction and CHANGED the Senate rules to get @POTUS’ sub-cabinet noms in place (in groups) and speed up the process. We just confirmed the first “en bloc” nominee package of 48. More to come. ? pic.twitter.com/Dg4oxsrHCl — Markwayne Mullin (@SenMullin) September 18, 2025 Thune promised to move forward with the nuclear option a week earlier, saying that Democrats had stonewalled the process long enough. Quoting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Thune said that it was unacceptable for nominees to be blocked unless there was a legitimate reason or concern that made it necessary. Thune also pointed out the fact that all of the 48 nominees in the first bloc had actually been approved out of committee — with bipartisan support — and were only being blocked in the full Senate. The Senate Democrats, he said at the time, were intentionally stalling the process by refusing to allow the nominees to be confirmed by voice vote or unanimous consent, as is traditionally done with civilian nominees. One major nominee who did not make it through on Thursday was former Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), whose nomination to serve as Ambassador to the United Nations is still pending. Democrats succeeded in recent weeks in having Waltz’s nomination sent back to committee.
