Kimmel’s interview with James Talarico will be shown on YouTube, the late night host announced
Jimmy Kimmel’s upcoming interview with Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico will not air on ABC, the talk show host announced, citing the network’s legal troubles with Trump’s FCC as the cause.
The late night host shared the news during his opening monologue on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday, beginning by discussing the Texas Senate race in which Talarico is leading Republican Ken Paxton, according to recent polls.
“I will be interviewing James Talarico tomorrow night under unusual circumstances,” Kimmel said, before explaining that the interview will go directly to YouTube and not air on ABC amid the network’s ongoing issues with the FCC.
Dems embracing Christianity rather than rejecting it is how we’re going to get back in the game. You don’t have to believe, you just need to let someone who does believe go have that spiritual argument for you. And you have to just acknowledge that separation of church and state doesn’t exist and never truly has.
I agreed with everything you said, right up till this…
And Talarico doesn’t agree with you, either…even though he’s Christian. Just because someone is religious, doesn’t mean they can shove religious policies down the rest of our throats.
Churches are absolutely an arm of the political beast of America and always have been, but shouldn’t be, is what I think they meant.
It wasn’t until I’d gotten past my “angst” phase that I finally realized it’s okay to respect Christianity as much as any other world religion (even if that’s no respect at all - just be fair about it).
There are lots of disturbing counter examples, but “love thy neighbor” doesn’t sound so bad. I wouldn’t mind if that was the kind of inseparable idea you’re talking about.
Christianity as a concept, defined by the teachings of jesus, is a kind, accepting, and generous faith. I’m not an expert on religion, but I’m willing to wager that many religions are similar. So long as that religion is helping to give a moral compass to those without one, great! But, inevitably, religion throughout history is twisted to function as a cudgel for the ruling class, and used by the hateful to justify hate.
Sure. Which is why we should judge people on their deeds, not their religion.
Wow that’s a shit take if I ever read one. We need a party for atheists. And church and state should absolutely be separate
He’s acknowledging that it currently does not exist, not whether he thinks it should or should not exist.
