Tim Dillon: "Pete Hegseth is...not Defense Secretary, he's now the Secretary of War—the thing that Trump got elected to not have. We changed one of the departments in our government to the name 'War,' which might make you think we're actually gonna get into more of them."

Jimmy Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can't take a joke."

Jimmy Kimmel: "He did his best to cancel me, instead he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly. He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now."

Jimmy Kimmel: "Brendan Carr, the Chairman of the FCC, telling an American company 'We can do this the easy way or the hard way...Take action on Kimmel or there's going to be additional work for the FCC,' [is a direct violation of the First Amendment."

Tucker Carlson: "Any attempt to impose hate speech laws in this country...is a denial of the humanity of American citizens and cannot be allowed under any circumstances. That's got to be the red line. Because when they can do that, what can't they do?"

Tucker Carlson: "You hope that a year from now the turmoil we're seeing in the aftermath of [Charlie Kirk's] murder won't be leveraged to bring hate speech laws into this country. If that does happen, there is never a more justified moment for civil disobedience."
