Ben Stein: I Wish Jimmy Kimmel Would Say Some Jokes About Somebody Else Instead of Mr. Trump

RUSH EXCERPT Like three ░░░░░░░░ ago I was equally ░░░░░░░░ by Republicans and Democrats ░░░░░░░░ the Republican members went ░░░░░░░░ down like 30 or ░░░░░░░░ As a talk show ░░░░░░░░ that s not ideal ░░░░░░░░ I would do it ░░░░░░░░ in a heartbeat So ░░░░░░░░ don t mind if ░░░░░░░░ turn off your show ░░░░░░░░ don t say I ░░░░░░░░ t mind I want ░░░░░░░░ with a television to ░░░░░░░░ the show But if ░░░░░░░░ re so turned off ░░░░░░░░ my opinion on healthcare ░░░░░░░░ gun violence then I ░░░░░░░░ t know I probably ░░░░░░░░ t want to have ░░░░░░░░ conversation with them anyway ░░░░░░░░ riddance Not good riddance ░░░░░░░░ riddance Neil All right ░░░░░░░░ could be a significant ░░░░░░░░ of his audience What ░░░░░░░░ the fallout Jimmy Kimmel ░░░░░░░░ he doesn t regret ░░░░░░░░ other conservative losers He ░░░░░░░░ talks with one of ░░░░░░░░ Ben style The best ░░░░░░░░ author They keep in ░░░░░░░░ contact I understand So ░░░░░░░░ what do you think ░░░░░░░░ his position Don t ░░░░░░░░ to lose them but ░░░░░░░░ be it STEIN Well ░░░░░░░░ don t know what ░░░░░░░░ make of it I ░░░░░░░░ t think he wants ░░░░░░░░ lose anyone His jokes ░░░░░░░░ incredibly funny I m ░░░░░░░░ Trump supporter I voted ░░░░░░░░ Trump Generally think he ░░░░░░░░ doing a pretty darn ░░░░░░░░ job It s a ░░░░░░░░ upsetting to me sometimes ░░░░░░░░ I see how hard ░░░░░░░░ is on them But ░░░░░░░░ is the most tempting ░░░░░░░░ for comedians there s ░░░░░░░░ been He s a ░░░░░░░░ talking target for comedians ░░░░░░░░ is a genius comedian ░░░░░░░░ I don t blame ░░░░░░░░ for going after him ░░░░░░░░ Do you hold the ░░░░░░░░ standard or differing standards ░░░░░░░░ some of the other ░░░░░░░░ that have also been ░░░░░░░░ in their attacks Not ░░░░░░░░ Kimmel has It s ░░░░░░░░ late development I m ░░░░░░░░ about Colbert or Seth ░░░░░░░░ What do you think ░░░░░░░░ I do not watch ░░░░░░░░ other late night shows ░░░░░░░░ only watch Kimmel and ░░░░░░░░ watch him every night ░░░░░░░░ almost every time I ░░░░░░░░ him I send him ░░░░░░░░ or e mails about ░░░░░░░░ He writes back to ░░░░░░░░ He s an incredibly ░░░░░░░░ correspondent and one of ░░░░░░░░ most stand up guys ░░░░░░░░ the world I disagree ░░░░░░░░ him on many subjects ░░░░░░░░ m sure he disagrees ░░░░░░░░ me on many subjects ░░░░░░░░ he s a stand ░░░░░░░░ guy doing what he ░░░░░░░░ is best for this ░░░░░░░░ I think we re ░░░░░░░░ to have him I ░░░░░░░░ he would wake up ░░░░░░░░ say you know I ░░░░░░░░ I m going to ░░░░░░░░ some jokes about somebody ░░░░░░░░ instead of Mr Trump ░░░░░░░░ But I think we ░░░░░░░░ very lucky to have ░░░░░░░░ Neil He s a ░░░░░░░░ bit different in so ░░░░░░░░ as he passionately embraces ░░░░░░░░ many would deep an ░░░░░░░░ or something he perceives ░░░░░░░░ be an injustice With ░░░░░░░░ healthcare rework the fear ░░░░░░░░ those that are vulnerable ░░░░░░░░ his son with a ░░░░░░░░ condition might be left ░░░░░░░░ So there s not ░░░░░░░░ push for humor with ░░░░░░░░ Republicans say yeah but ░░░░░░░░ as we re beginning ░░░░░░░░ buy that you re ░░░░░░░░ to Chuck Schumer about ░░░░░░░░ points What do you ░░░░░░░░ about that I think ░░░░░░░░ should talk to anybody ░░░░░░░░ wants to talk to ░░░░░░░░ anything he wants to ░░░░░░░░ talks to me about ░░░░░░░░ points all the time ░░░░░░░░ don t think he ░░░░░░░░ ever once taken my ░░░░░░░░ on anything Neil Really ░░░░░░░░ disagree on about everything ░░░░░░░░ he answers very thoughtfully ░░░░░░░░ responsibly when I talk ░░░░░░░░ him As I say ░░░░░░░░ m not going to ░░░░░░░░ anybody else Once or ░░░░░░░░ somebody in the house ░░░░░░░░ leave a TV turned ░░░░░░░░ a channel where I ░░░░░░░░ seeing somebody else on ░░░░░░░░ it s like touching ░░░░░░░░ I turned it back ░░░░░░░░ Jimmy Kimmel right away ░░░░░░░░ s so much better ░░░░░░░░ You re not watching ░░░░░░░░ rerun of Lou Dobbs ░░░░░░░░ I should be Probably ░░░░░░░░ be Jimmy is a ░░░░░░░░ smart guy I disagree ░░░░░░░░ what he says about ░░░░░░░░ and I disagree I ░░░░░░░░ agree with him about ░░░░░░░░ healthcare system We have ░░░░░░░░ this many times about ░░░░░░░░ president Nixon handled it ░░░░░░░░ president Nixon wouldn t ░░░░░░░░ had a cut off ░░░░░░░░ people with long term ░░░░░░░░ or illnesses Neither should ░░░░░░░░ present president Neil So ░░░░░░░░ do you think of ░░░░░░░░ present president s approach ░░░░░░░░ that where he s ░░░░░░░░ look these subsidies we ░░░░░░░░ insurance companies to cover ░░░░░░░░ that can t afford ░░░░░░░░ you think that boomerangs ░░░░░░░░ him I don t ░░░░░░░░ it boomerangs on him ░░░░░░░░ is a country that ░░░░░░░░ the biggest heart in ░░░░░░░░ world I don t ░░░░░░░░ that anybody should be ░░░░░░░░ from getting decent medical ░░░░░░░░ because he or she ░░░░░░░░ not well to do ░░░░░░░░ is a disgrace I ░░░░░░░░ said this to you ░░░░░░░░ Neil I live in ░░░░░░░░ neighborhood where half the ░░░░░░░░ in my neighborhood have ░░░░░░░░ bentleys To think there ░░░░░░░░ neighborhoods like this and ░░░░░░░░ that cannot afford health ░░░░░░░░ that s wrong Shepard ░░░░░░░░ very much.
