“I had this clip yesterday where I mentioned what Joe Rogan said, uh, sort of like, oh, well, Jimmy was making a joke and you know, he may have got some facts wrong. And I said, hold on, right? Like, like pause. It wasn't that he just got some facts wrong. It’s that he lied,” Posobiec said. “You need to apologize when you lie and the lies stay standard. And so for six days, he's not on air. He comes back. He doesn't correct the lie. Just correct the lie. It's really not that hard.”
He said that Kimmel’s refusal to retract his claim that the Kirk shooter was “some MAGA guy” mirrored media coverage of the ICE shooting. “The fact that he'd let it stand, that he thought it was some MAGA guy that committed this. And you see the same type of deception with, as you just said, the ICE shooter down in Dallas, who, by the way, we just found out as it turns out, not only was the ICE shooter motivated by anti-ICE elements— obviously shooting up an ICE facility—but in fact had been doing searches for the Charlie Kirk shooting on his phone immediately prior to that, his own act of terrorism. And so you've got copycat shooters now coming from the violent left. And you've got all these people in the media trying to tell you that it's not happening.”
“We know it was a lie because trust me, I've been a broadcaster for many, many years," Kelly responded. "When you make a mistake, then when you go and then controversy hits, you can very easily go out on the air and say, oh my God, I'm so sorry. I made a mistake.
"And so the fact that he wouldn't correct it is what shows you. It was not a mistake. He meant it. He wouldn't get off that talking point.”
Kelly pointed to reports about Kimmel’s staff. “Even when his show was hanging in the balance, it was too important to him that lie that, that the shooter was MAGA. And now we have a report in the Daily Mail out today that his staffers were behind the scenes crying when he didn't back down when he went out there and doubled down on his criticism of MAGA and Trump and didn't offer an apology. And they were getting ready to quit if he were to do it. That's what Jimmy Kimmel has surrounded himself with.”
She then connected the conversation back to the ICE Dallas shooting. “And the points you're making about the guy now who did the ICE shooting yesterday are completely valid. And what's infuriating is we saw in this case, as we saw with the Charlie case, what the motivation was, it was literally written on the bullet casings that the shooter went to the trouble of writing it on the bullet. So there wouldn't be any ambiguity. And yet still the media pretends like it's all some big mystery.”
Kelly added that reports had already identified the shooter’s ideology. “This morning, having seen this photo and read the reports we felt that we read where he was openly identified as a communist. Um, they still went to air with, ah, unclear. We really don't know what the motive was. We have no idea, totally inappropriate and irresponsible,” she said.
“You don't normally get it like this. You don't normally get the explicit; ‘My goal is to terrorize ICE.’ I hope they're terrorized by now realizing I can shoot them from roofs around their facilities. And you watch not one of those sources, not NPR, not MSNBC, not NBC, none of the sources who pitched the, ‘we don't know’ this morning before we had that explicit line. All we had was the bullet casing is going to update their report with ‘Now we know.’"
"They're going to continue pretending it was a mystery because they don't care about stopping it. If this were their people, they'd be blasting the motivations as they've been written by these killers from the rooftops. It's because it's us and they're secretly in favor of it, that they want to keep doing this, which is why I think many of us are feeling truly radicalized by their behavior.”
The FBI identified the Dallas ICE shooter as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, who opened fire from a rooftop overlooking an ICE field office on Wednesday morning. The attack left one migrant detainee dead and two others wounded. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, Jahn had searched for “Charlie Kirk Shot Video” and ballistics data prior to the shooting.
