Bill O'Reilly delivers a blistering critique of Jimmy Kimmel’s recent commentary on Melania Trump, accusing Disney of enabling political hate speech through its platform. He argues that Kimmel’s attacks on the Trump family are not satire but personal vendettas, and that Disney bears responsibility for allowing such content—especially given formal letters from both Trumps demanding sanctions. O'Reilly frames this as a moral and cultural failure, declaring Walt Disney Company 'finished as a positive force' in America. He also highlights a surprising economic rebound, with non-residential investment surging at 10.4% annualized, driven by equipment and intellectual property spending. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court’s gerrymandering ruling has forced Louisiana to delay its primaries, sparking a wave of redistricting efforts across the South. In a historical segment, O'Reilly recounts the rise and violent end of Billy the Kid, emphasizing how his legend was amplified by early Hollywood, with over 150 films made about him since 1911.
Disney is responsible for Jimmy Kimmel's anti-Trump content and should face consequences, including possible furlough, due to its platform enabling political hate.
