Actor and singer Pat Boone had some words of wisdom for alleged comedian 
Jimmy Kimmel amid controversy over his lies about the individual suspected 
of assassinating Turning Point USA’s Charlie Kirk.

In a video posted on TikTok, the 91-year-old entertainer praised  Kimmel, 
saying he has “spent many hours enjoying your wit and your ability to 
interview and interact with almost anybody except Brad Pitt, for some 
reason.”

Boone then stated that Kimmel and fellow late-night talk show host Stephen 
Colbert “have increasingly abused your freedom of speech” because they 
believed they “could infect the airwaves and the consciences of millions 
of watchers without regard to their differing and actually opposite views 
and beliefs.”

“While networks and sponsors were paying you millions to entertain, amuse, 
and help them in their days feeling good, you've chosen to infect and 
insult the intelligence, strongly held political views, and convictions, 
and increasing instances, actual facts, with your very personal freedom to 
say whatever you want on the public airwaves,” Boone said.

“Well, you still have that precious freedom, Jimmy, and I'm sure you're 
still vehemently employing it to anybody who wants to hear what you have 
to say right now,” the actor continued. “But say whatever you choose to 
Bill Maher or Howard Stern or other programs whose sponsors profit from 
and share your views. But learn that networks and sponsors who pay dearly 
to reach viewers who don't share your views and are seriously offended by 
them.

Boone affirmed that Kimmel is “still perfectly free” to say anything he 
wants, but “freedom isn’ tfree, as you’re finding out shockingly.”

He explained that “There is a responsibility that comes with it and 
consequences from its misuse, and that’s why it’s so precious.”

Boone concluded, “So shout, shout on. Speak your views publicly in the 
streets without fear. But don’t expect to be paid millions when you bite 
the hand that feeds you.”

Disney and Kimmel are currently in talks to see if both parties can come 
to a compromise to bring “Jimmy Kimmel Live” back to ABC, according to 
Variety. This comes after the show was taken off the air when Kimmel lied 
about Kirk’s alleged assassin, deceptively claiming the suspect was a 
right-winger when all available evidence shows he was on the left.

Insiders have noted that there is no guarantee that Kimmel will return to 
the airwaves. Kimmel has remained silent on the matter, but behind the 
scenes, sources claim he was “livid” about his predicament.

There has been much debate over Kimmel’s removal and the role FCC Chairman 
Brendan Carr is believed to have played in his situation. The chairman 
suggested that there could be regulatory consequences if ABC refused to 
address the matter, which has elicited criticism from those saying it is a 
violation of free speech.

Boone absolutely nailed it. His take was probably the best I’ve seen on 
this controversy so far.

Of course, Kimmel has the right to say whatever he wants. He absolutely 
should speak his mind — even though he’s clearly full of it most of the 
time. But it is ridiculous to expect to be able to blatantly lie to his 
audience to promote a political agenda and expect that advertisers and 
companies will still want to associate with him.

But in one respect, I can’t blame him. Kimmel has been nothing more than a 
feckless hack for at least a decade. He got away with it then, so why 
wouldn’t he now? But the mistake he made was failing to read the political 
tea leaves and see that times are a-changin’ and that there is less demand 
for that type of claptrap. After all, there is a reason why Kimmel’s 
ratings dropped by 40 percent over the past ten years, isn’t there?

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama 
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
