The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
4:05pm- Kimmel is Back: Last week, ABC/Disney indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel’s comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network’s move appeared to be a result of Kimmel’s comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel’s vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many expressed concern that Carr’s warning amounted to a First Amendment violation. ABC/Disney is now announcing that the suspension has concluded, and Kimmel will be back on-air Tuesday night. Rich notes that if Carr had not opened his mouth and baselessly threatened ABC/Disney, Kimmel’s show would have likely ended permanently. Did Carr inadvertently save Kimmel’s career?
4:20pm- Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked President Trump: “If you could eat only one thing for a week, what would it be?” Trump responded, “probably steak.”
4:40pm- Joe Gruters—Chairman of the Republican National Committee—joins The Rich Zeoli Show for his first interview since becoming RNC Chair last month! He discusses his experience as a Florida State Senator, November’s New Jersey gubernatorial election, and more. Chairman Gruters explains, “I’m committed to do whatever it takes to make sure we give the President a full four years [with a Republican-controlled House & Senate]” so “he continues to save the world.”
