JEMELE HILL IS AN ANCHOR FOR ESPN.
SHE'S GOTTEN IN A LITTLE BIT OF TROUBLE BEFORE FOR TWEETING
ABOUT HOW DONALD TRUMP BELIEVES IN WHITE SUPREMACY.
THERE'S A GOOD REASON FOR THAT.
HE SAID DURING AN OLD RIGHT WHITE NATIONALIST NEO-NAZI
MARCH IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, EVEN AFTER ONE OF THE NEO-NAZIS
HAD MURDERED SOMEBODY THAT THERE WAS QUOTE VERY FINE PEOPLE
ON BOTH SIDES.
SO SHE CALLED HIM OUT FOR THAT, AND HIS MANY OTHER COMMENTS
ALONG SIMILAR LINES.
WE COVERED THE STORY EARLIER, AND OBVIOUSLY WE HAD HER BACK.
SHE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
IT IS PROVABLE AND WE SHOWED YOU
THE HALF A DOZEN INCIDENCES OF CLEAR, INCONTROVERTIBLE
RACISM FROM DONALD TRUMP.
SO JEMELE HILL DID SOMETHING SIMILAR THIS TIME BUT NOT
ABOUT TRUMP.
LET ME SHOW YOU THE TWEET AND THEN SHOW YOU
ESPN'S REACTION.
THIS IS ABOUT JERRY JONES.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY THE WHITE HOUSE IS GOING TO A LOT OF THE OWNERS
AND SAID REMEMBER, YOU GUYS ARE BILLIONAIRE REPUBLICANS.
I DON'T KNOW THE INTERNAL CONVERSATIONS BUT PROBABLY
HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT HEY, THE TAXPAYERS SUBSIDIZE YOU GUYS.
IT'S CALLED CRONY CAPITALISM.
WE REPUBLICANS LOVE IT, AND WE'VE BEEN PRACTICING IT
WITH YOU FOR A LONG TIME, PLUS, I'VE GOT CHILEAN DOLLARS
TAX CUTS COMING, WOULD YOU LIKE SOME OF THE?
OR WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NFL OWNERS
ARE LEFT OUT?
I DO NOT KNOW THAT FOR SURE, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THAT WE WILL
HAVE TYT INVESTIGATE MAYBE LOOK INTO IT AND SEE IF WE CAN
FIND SOME PACKS FOR YOU GUYS.
BUT OBVIOUSLY, WHAT WE CAN SEE FROM THE OUTSIDE IS THAT THERE
WAS PRESSURE PUT ON SOME MIAMI DOLPHINS OWNER AND THE DALLAS
COWBOYS OWNER, JERRY JONES, CAME OUT AND SAID THAT IS IT.
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PLAYERS WILL BE
STANDING DURING THE NATIONALLY THEM.
REMEMBER, JERRY JONES, BEFORE THE NATIONAL INCOME WAS PLAYED,
AFTER TRUMP HAD ORIGINALLY LED HIS ATTACK ON THE NFL PLAYERS
HAD GONE AND KNELT WITH HIS OWN PLAYERS, AGAIN, BEFORE THE
ANTHEM BUT IT WAS A POWERFUL STATEMENT AND THEY WALKED ARMS
DURING THE ANTHEM AND TRUMP HAD CRITICIZE THEM.
JERRY JONES, BEING THE MONEY HUNGRY COWARD THAT HE IS DECIDED
THAT OF COURSE, HE WAS GOING TO BACK DOWN AND GO BETWEEN
MONEY AND PRINCIPLES, MONEY AND FIGHTING AGAINST RACISM?
THAT IS A JOKE, IT IS NOT EVEN CLOSE A DOCUMENT TO MONEY.
SHOW ME THE MONEY.
THAT IS THE DIRECTION JERRY JONES WENT AND I'VE MUCH HARSHER
WORDS FOR HIM THEN JEMELE HILL DOES BUT SHE SAID ABOUT THAT:
WHOA.
TO ME, I GET IT.
IT'S A LOGICAL WAY TO BUY BACK.
I HAVE HAD MY OWN OPINIONS ON WHETHER THAT SHOULD BE DONE
TO CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW HOST.
GENERALLY, I DON'T LOVE THAT APPROACH BUT THAT IS OKAY.
TO EACH HIS OWN, THAT IS HER OPINION THAT GOD BLESS HER
HEART.
IT IS PERFECTLY LOGICAL AND RATIONAL TO HAVE ONE JUST
LIKE THAT I'VE YOU CARE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND OF COURSE,
ESPN IS FURIOUS.
SO THEY EXPLAIN:
WHAT THEY DIDN'T ADD BUT COULD OF IS, IT IS ONE THING IF YOU'RE
GOING TO GO TO THE PRESIDENT NETS BAD AND WE GOT SOME
BLOWBACK FROM REPUBLICANS ON IT, ADVERTISERS?
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT ADVERTISERS?
NO, NO, NO.
NOW YOU'VE TOUCHED THE FACE OF GOD.
WE HAD A GREAT COMEDIAN ON HERE, MONSTER BROADENING AND HE
MADE A GREAT POINT THAT HE SOMETIMES GOES TO COMEDY IN
THE MIDDLE EAST AND HE GETS HE 4.
PEOPLE SAY OH, YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT MOHAMMED
OR GOD OR ALLAH OR ISLAM WHEN YOU GO TO THE MIDDLE EAST.
THAT IS CENSORSHIP.
HOW COULD YOU DO COMEDY THERE DESPITE THE CENSORSHIP?
AND HIS A BOOK, THESE HAVE A SHOW ON COMEDY CENTRAL AND
THEY WOULD TAKE OUT ALL THE JOKES ABOUT ADVERTISERS.
SO HE SAID, OUR GOD IS TIDE.
OUR GOD IS ADVERTISERS.
YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH THEM UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
SO SHE TOUCHES A THIRD RAIL AND ESPN IS LIKE WELL.
NO WAY.
SUSPENDED.
MORE FROM ESPN.
I DON'T THINK THAT THEIR ISSUE WITH HER IMPULSE.
I THINK SHE THOUGHT IT THROUGH, SHE THOUGHT THAT WAS THE BEST
STRATEGY, AND THAT CASE TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE OPPRESSION OF
THE PLAYERS AND THE OWNERS WHICH IS CLEAR AND DEMONSTRATED
BY JERRY JONES.
NOTHING ABOUT IMPULSE THERE AT ALL.
SHE THOUGHT IT THROUGH AND SHE DID IT.
THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM WITH IT.
THEIR PROBLEM WITH IT IS THE MONEY, LEBOWSKI.
FINALLY THEY SAID:
NELLA, ESPN IS A COMPANY THAT
IS ALLOWED TO SAY IN THE
POLICIES THEY WANT AND YES, THERE'S CLEARLY LINES THAT
YOU CAN GO PAST AND THEN I WOULD SAY THAT THE COMPANY WAS
WITHIN THEIR RIGHTS TO ACT THAT WAY.
1ST OF ALL, THE COMPANY IS WHERE IT THEN THEIR RIGHTS BACK
TO THE WAY THEY LIKE.
I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT THOUGH.
ALL RIGHT.
LET ME GO LITTLE FURTHER.
WE ARE CONSIDERING MAKING JAMIL HELEN OFFER HERE AT TYT.
WE HAVE TYT SPORTS.
THERE WE GO HAVE SPORTS COMMENTARY
AND WE DON'T HAVE TO KISS THE ASS OF ADVERTISERS AND WE DO NOT
HAVE THE NFL RIGHTS, WE CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THEM.
SO WE CAN HAVE ANY DAMN THING WE LIKE ABOUT THE NFL OR NFL OWNERS
OR MANAGEMENT OR THE ATHLETES OR ANY OF THE THINGS THAT
TOUCH SPORTS WHETHER IT'S NFL, NBA, OR ANYTHING ELSE.
WELL, THIS IS KIND OF A FUNNY ANNOUNCEMENTS AND I DON'T WANT
TO BE OVERDRAMATIC, WHAT I'M GOING TO KEEP IT REAL WITH
YOU GUYS.
I KNOW IT'S FUNNY THAT WE'RE DOING IT ON AIR
BUT THIS IS TYT AND THIS IS HOW WE ROLL.
OF COURSE I HAVE TO LOOK AT MORE TAPE OF JAMIL HILL AND WE
HAVEN'T CALLED HER YET, SO ESPN, DON'T PANIC.
SHE HASN'T VIOLATED HER CONTRACTOR ANYTHING OR TALKED
TO US BUT WE ARE VERY SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING MAKING AN OFFER
TO HER BECAUSE THAT IS TRUTH TO POWER.
THAT IS WHAT WE DO IT TYT SO IF ESPN AND THE REST OF THE
MAINSTREAM MEDIA DON'T WANT YOU SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER,
THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU.
IT IS CALLED THE YOUNG TURKS.
SO JEMELE HILL, AS USUAL ON THIS, WE HAVE YOUR BACK.
