"This guy who [Brendan] Carr who runs the FCC, he had the nerve to say that Kimmel, if he wanted to get back on television... he had to pay Charlie Kirk's Turning Points USA Foundation money to get back on. Think about that: Elon Musk bought the election for Trump because the Supreme Court said money was free speech. But if they make [Kimmel] pay money for some shit he doesn't believe in, they are compelling him to say something he does not mean...."
"I'll take money from Saudi Arabia any day just so I can say 'no' over here. It feels good to be free. And I know the people in Saudi Arabia can't say all the things I can say, but a deal's a deal and the king said I could say these things. I looked at it like I was on a diplomatic mission: I got to bring pussy jokes to the Middle East."
Dave Chappelle released a surprise 75-minute Netflix special titled Dave Chappelle: The Unstoppable, recorded in Washington, DC in October. The special includes commentary on the National Guard deployment in Washington, Jimmy Kimmel's show being pulled from ABC amid FCC pressure claims, Charlie Kirk, and Sean Combs. Chappelle defended his appearance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival and referenced Jamal Khashoggi's murder while critiquing selective outrage and citing recent journalist casualties. A clarification noted that Brendan Carr did not request Kimmel donate to Turning Point USA; that request came from Sinclair's head. Chappelle framed his Saudi show as a chance to speak freely and bring jokes abroad.
