When you were ready to double down, dive in, try for a shell and not look back. Roll into Pearl River Resort from tea times to table games, water slides by day, slots by night. Savor the flavors, feel the fun. Win big. Let's roll into Pearl River rezoot must be twenty what or order to play gambling problem called one he hunter gambler. Remember last week when Jimmy Kimmel made

his triumphant return to the airwaves. Well, you know, he had this huge spike in ratings, which I told you was going to happen because there were going to be several people that were merely curious about what he might have to say. But the other thing I told you was don't be shocked when those people disappear almost immediately, And that happened because on Thursday he dropped sixty four percent of the viewers that he had for his Tuesday night return. Kimmel is one of those folks that, again

he's not very likable. He can have some clever bits here or there, but for the most part he has become an insufferable leftist talking head. He gave up his comedian status, he gave up trying to do an entertainment show and thinks that he is a political show with jokes mixed in, but unfortunately it has not worked out for him in the ratings department. And this also comes after after one of the bands from one of the

distributors in Claire Broadcasting was lifted. Yet he's still back to hemorrhaging his viewers because Jimmy Kimmel is not that popular. The morbid curiosity to see what he might say was the reason for the rating spike, and it was very predictable because you had folks that have never liked Jimmy Kimmel, don't like what he has to say, but they tuned in that night because they were curious, but they were

never going to come back. Then you had other folks who don't watch Jimmy Kimmel but were all so curious to see if they could find out exactly how he was going to spin this. Was he going to come

back the apologetic man, which he wasn't. Here's the thing, and Jimmy had an opportunity, opportunity to maybe maybe save his talk show, but instead he went right back to his political diatrap and his own attempt to make himself a martyr, because again, the left wants him, they want Stephen Colbert, they want all these people to be martyrs for some reason. But it's just not working because the average American does not care to hear what they're saying.

The average American can't stand these overly preachy, rich talk show hosts trying to pretend that they understand the plight of middle class America because they do not. They haven't lived in middle class America in several years. They live a privileged life. You know, we hear that word so often from the left, privileged. Oh it's your white privilege, your privilege or whatever. These Hollywood elite, they're the ones who actually live privileged. Not me. I can tell you

I'm scraping by from paycheck to paycheck. But Jimmy Kimmel's he's doing all right. He's got a mansion, but he's supposed to be the common man. Nobody's buying that. And when he came back and he was the same show and he didn't issue a true apology, people tuned back out because that's the reason he was bleeding viewers in the first place. Is this nonsense that he continued to speak. But now as predictable as it was sixty four percent drop.

If ABC does decide because he's controversial and he's not bringing in ratings to move on, are they going to get called folks for trying to deny his freedom of speech, which again, it's well within the rights of a network to cancel a show. That's the other thing about this whole they're denying his freedom of speech, nonsense that we constantly have heard, because you know, they said that when Stephen Colbert's show was announced, that it was going to

be canceled. But meanwhile, Stephen Colbert's been given a full year to say goodbye. That's not denying him his freedom of speech. That's in no way, shape or form a denial of his freedom of speech. He was costing the network money and that's the reason he's going to wait, Jimmy Kimmel. If these ratings remain where they are, he's costing the network money. But are they stuck with him now they fear the liberal crowd too much to actually

pull the switch and have this man canceled. That's a good question because I don't have the answer for it. I don't think CBS is hurting since the announcement of Stephen Colbert's cancelization. Yes, there were people out there who wanted to try to pretend that it was politically motivated, and in some ways maybe it was, because it's his political content that made him bleed ratings. It's Jimmy Kimball's

political content that has made him bleed ratings. And these networks at some point they like making them money more than they like their politics. So at some point you got to figure they're going to move on from these type of characters. It's just got to happen at some point. But again, here we are in a world where Jimmy Kimmel had his high ratings return and then came crashing back down to earth almost immediately, which just goes to

show you people still don't like Jimmy Kimmel. This has been Morning Coffee with the Right Side and I'm your host, Jack Fairchilds and we're a part of the Midnight Ride Network. This show has been brought to you by Pearl River Casino and Resort,
