(NOTE: This podcast was recorded after 3 p.m. this afternoon. Shortly afterward, ABC announced that they will restore Jimmy Kimmel's show to the schedule Tuesday night. Boycotts work.)
Summarizing today's podcast...
*When Donald Trump was shot last year, Michael Moore wrote an article about the first election he voted in back in 1972. He voted for Shirley Chisholm for the Michigan Democratic primary, but racist Alabama governor George Wallace won the state. Moore put the blame on his assassination attempt.
*Charlie Kirk's funeral was held on Sunday at State Farm Stadium by Phoenix. 70,000 people attended, plus an additional 20,000 who saw the event at the former Glendale Arena next door, which has been seldom-used since they evicted the former Coyotes NHL team. Chuck saw a game there nearly 20 years ago and it was 50-50 Coyote and Red Wing fans.
*The funeral was more of a political rally than an actual funeral with many of Trump's staffers making speeches. There was hardly any praying and nobody hosted.
*Trump made an ass of himself by talking about hating his enemies.
*Erika Kirk praised people for not rioting and going to church instead. To Chuck, it only adds to why he doesn't go to church.
*Trump's policies are hurting the tourism industry.
*Howard Stern - who was attacked by the FCC back in his terrestrial radio days - supported Jimmy Kimmel by canceling his Disney + account. Stern called companies like Disney and others who kneel to Trump "spineless".
*While the economy is crashing and burning, Trump is building a new Rose Garden and in talks to bring a UFC fight to the White House.
*Chuck talked about how Bill Johnson and his American Decency Association screwed over Howard Stern by preying over the less fortunate.
*In all, Chuck tells people to think when it comes to politics. "Vote Blue No Matter Who" is not the way to go. He also says that since the Lions play tonight's Monday Night Football, people should boycott their sponsors. (Of course, everything's moot now that Jimmy Kimmel's back tomorrow.)
