DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel told British viewers on Thursday that “tyranny is booming” under President Donald Trump’s leadership in the United States. Kimmel gave a four-minute speech to Britain’s Channel 4, a public broadcast network that traditionally picks a high-profile person to counter the monarch’s Christmas message, where he stated that fascism has flourished in the U.S. The late-night host blamed Trump for his three-day suspension for making false claims about the late Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination. “I honestly have no idea what’s going on over there. I do know what’s going on over here, though, and I can tell you that from a fascism perspective, this has been a really great year. Tyranny is booming over here,” Kimmel said. “You may have read in your colorful newspapers, my country’s president would like to shut me up because I don’t adore him in the way he likes to be adored.” “The American government made a threat against me and the company I work for and all of a sudden we’re off the air,” Kimmel continued.  ABC temporarily suspended his show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” on Sept. 17 after Nexstar and Sinclair Broadcasting announced they would not air his show over his remarks about Kirk. Kimmel stated during a Sept. 15 episode that Kirk’s alleged assassin, Tyler Robinson, was a Trump supporter and that Trump responded to the assassination in the same manner that a child mourns a goldfish. Kimmel said that his suspension happened because Trump is silencing speech, despite there being no evidence that Trump had any involvement. He accused his administration of “figuratively and literally tearing down the structures of our democracy.” “And the reason I’m telling you this story is because maybe you’re thinking, ‘oh, a government silencing its critics is something that happens in places like Russia or North Korea or LA, not the UK.’ Well, that’s what we thought, and now we’ve got King Donny VIII calling for executions. It happens fast,” Kimmel said.  “You know, it’s funny, we Americans are very proud of not having a king. It’s kind of why we left. Earlier this year, tens of millions of us marched at protests called No Kings,” Kimmel added.  Kimmel also apologized to British viewers and assured them that not all Americans are like Trump. He urged the nation to give the U.S. three years to turn things around, which was an apparent reference to the 2028 presidential election. British citizens have been censored and arrested for speech and public prayer in recent years. Police in the United Kingdom have made over 30 arrests per day over offensive online posts, The Telegraph reported in September. More than a dozen British citizens were jailed in August 2024 for allegedly causing “unrest” on social media, while two citizens were sentenced to over a year in prison for stirring up “racial hatred” online, the BBC reported. Authorities also arrested a British army veteran in August 2022 for denouncing LGBTQ and transgender activists online, which authorities said caused someone “anxiety.” Originally published by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The young conservative movement is experiencing a notable leadership gap amid ongoing chaos in the online right-wing space. Sure, there are passionate influencers and rising political voices, but no one has fully stepped up to unify and guide the broader coalition with a commanding presence.One person investigative journalist and BlazeTV host Christopher Rufo thinks might be able to step into the role, however, is Vice President JD Vance. But Rufo’s co-host Jonathan Keeperman isn’t sure Vance is up for the job either.In this episode of “Rufo & Lomez,” the hosts debate whether JD Vance can step up as the unifying leader the conservative movement needs amid escalating chaos. “I've been so far a bit surprised that the vice president hasn't tried to step into this role,” says Rufo, arguing that Vance has both the “charisma” and the “authority” to effectively lead the movement.“I’ve known JD over the years. ... It does feel like he has some hesitation or maybe even some fear,” he adds.While Keeperman agrees that Vance “has all of the tools and charisma and ... the right talking points” to be an excellent leader, his role as the vice president would actually be a hindrance.“I don't think JD Vance should actually do that in his vice presidential position. Not right now. I think it'd be a bit presumptuous. I think people might kind of see it as him stepping in to sort of correct a situation that I think needs to just happen organically,” he counters.For one, Vance’s position prohibits him from “[speaking] candidly about the administration.”“Whoever is going to step into this role has to feel credible to this audience, and part of that credibility is going to come from just speaking honestly about all of these different things happening in this ecosystem — whether it's the different personalities, the ideas, the sort of ideology that's animating Trump but also the specific actions that the Trump administration is taking,” Keeperman explains.In other words, the kind of leader people will follow needs to be an outsider who can speak brutal truths about the current administration, and Vance, as Trump’s right-hand man, can’t be that person.Secondly, President Trump is still the top dog, Keeperman explains. For his VP to assume the authority of this role as the leader of the conservative movement “might not sit well inside of this coalition.”“Maybe you're right,” Rufo concedes. “We need some sort of native figure to step up in the same way that Charlie Kirk did, in the same way that Tucker had done.”To hear more of the conversation, watch the episode above.Want more from Rufo & Lomez?To enjoy more of the news through the anthropological lens of Christopher Rufo and Lomez, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

With the first Turning Point USA AmFest convention since Charlie Kirk's death in September now concluded, TPUSA's Andrew Kolvet offered his insights on the convention and the political path ahead.Earlier this week, Kolvet told Fox News in an interview that Turning Point is "all in" for one of Charlie Kirk's closest friends in politics.'Charlie was very close to the vice president and had basically endorsed him already for months beforehand.'"We're all in behind Vice President JD Vance. Charlie considered him a generational talent and somebody that could lead this nation forward," Kolvet, executive producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show," said. Kolvet remarked that it was almost natural for the organization to support JD Vance given Charlie Kirk's relationship with him. "Charlie was very close to the vice president and had basically endorsed him already for months beforehand. It was no surprise for us. It was no surprise for those who were close to us."RELATED: TPUSA straw poll shows dominant front-runner for 2028 nomination Turning Point CEO Erika Kirk announced her endorsement of JD Vance during her speech at America Fest on the first day of the convention."We're gonna ensure that President Trump has Congress for all four years," she said. "We are going to get my husband's friend JD Vance, elected for 48 in the most resounding way possible!"Andrew Kolvet reiterated the organization's support for the vice president while urging people to stay focused on the present: "We're very happy for the here and now, so we're going to let the next year play out, but heading into 2028, we're excited to get behind him. And the machine that Charlie built and that's still in place at Turning Point is going to be all in for the vice president." Vice President JD Vance gave a speech on unity on the last day of the convention, refusing to condemn dissident voices despite loud demands within the conservative movement. Like Blaze News?
