Sinclair Backs Out of Airing Charlie Kirk Tribute Special Amid Jimmy Kimmel’s Suspension, Pushes Viewers to Watch on YouTube Instead
Sinclair Broadcast Group quietly pulled the plug on airing a special tribute to assassinated conservative icon Charlie Kirk on its ABC affiliate stations.
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was gunned down by an assassin on September 10 during a speaking event at Utah Valley University.
Instead of broadcasting the remembrance program as initially planned, the media giant directed viewers to watch it online via a YouTube link, while continuing with regular ABC late-night programming.
The decision comes after ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was hit with an indefinite suspension for making false accusations about the man arrested for assassinating Kirk, namely, that Robinson was a Republican.
“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them,” Kimmel sneered.
The backlash was swift and severe. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr publicly slammed Kimmel, and media companies like Nexstar, another major owner of ABC affiliates, announced they would preempt his show entirely in response to the tasteless remarks.
The outrage was so severe that Disney caved and indefinitely suspended Kimmel from his failing show.
Sinclair, which owns hundreds of local TV stations across the country, initially seemed poised to take a stand. The company demanded a full apology from Kimmel and echoed Carr’s sentiments, stating that ABC’s suspension “did not go far enough.” Instead, they had promoted the Kirk special as a way to honor the fallen activist on Friday night during Kimmel’s timeslot.
But in a sudden reversal, Sinclair released a statement saying, “Tonight, Sinclair will continue to air ABC network programming as scheduled in the late-night time period. The Charlie Kirk special will instead be available on The National News Desk’s YouTube channel, ensuring viewers can continue to enjoy ABC programming while also providing full access to the special online.”
The tribute, titled simply as a “Charlie Kirk special,” is now tucked away on YouTube and has garnered fewer than 10,000 views in its first 24 hours.
The accused assassin, Tyler Robinson, 22, is a leftist who was living with his transgender boyfriend at the time of the politically motivated attack.

“I Accept Jesus Christ as My Lord and Savior” – Scott Adams’s Ex-Wife Tearfully Reads Legendary Cartoonist’s Final Message (VIDEO)

Dilbert creator Scott Adams passed away on Tuesday after a battle with prostate cancer.
He was 68 years old.
In addition to the Dilbert comic strip, Adams has a podcast dubbed, “Coffee With Scott Adams,” where he often voiced his support for President Trump.
Adams was one of the first people to predict a Trump 2016 victory.
Last year Adams revealed he had an aggressive form of prostate cancer that spread to his bones. He said he had months to live.
Adams’ ex-wife, Shelly Miles, announced Scott Adams passed away on a “Coffee With Scott Adams” live stream.
Shelly Miles said Scott Adams accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior before he passed.
Earlier this month, Scott Adams said he is becoming a Christian after many of his friends witnessed to him during his last weeks on earth.
Adams had identified as Agnostic (not an atheist) and was skeptical of religion.
“I’ve not been a believer, but I also have respect for any Christian who goes out of their way to try to convert me, because how would I believe you believe your own religion if you’re not trying to convert me? Adams said last week.
Shelly Miles tearfully read Scott Adams’s final message during Tuesday’s live stream.
“I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and look forward to spending an eternity with Him,” Adams said in his final message before he passed away.

Trump Briefed on Military and Covert Options Regarding the Iranian Regime’s Actions Against its Own Citizens

Amid ongoing protests against the oppressive Iranian regime, reports indicate that at least 2,000 people have lost their lives. Will the U.S. respond, as President Donald Trump mulls a “very strong” response and is briefed on military strike options in Iran?
The protests stem from extreme economic difficulties, such as hyperinflation, a collapsing currency, and soaring prices for basic necessities. However, they have expanded into widespread protests against the government, calling for regime change. Fundamentally, the people of Iran desire liberation from corruption, poor governance, and political oppression. They desire freedom.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Dr. Chase Spears, a retired U.S. Army public affairs officer, writer and host of the Finding Your Spine podcast. He remarked on the incredible sight of the Iranian people rising up against a “well-armed, tyrannical government” that has repeatedly shown its contempt for innocent lives. “They’re offering a reminder that even in the darkest times and places, there is always a glimmer of hope and a remnant of courageous people.”
For decades, he said, the extremist Islamist regime has been the primary catalyst for “churning out evil and brutality” throughout the Middle East. He contends that “overthrowing it would be the single biggest contribution to peace in our age.”
“An Iran freed of the ayatollah’s fist would shut down the terror machine that has plagued the world from Tehran for the entirety of my lifetime,” he argued. “A free Iran makes the entire world safer.”
Currently, President Donald Trump has implemented a 25 percent tariff on products from any country engaging in trade with Iran. He has also urged American citizens to exit Iran immediately as protests escalate and the death toll increases.
Additionally, sources say he is strongly considering military options while the Israel Defense Forces are on heightened “alert for surprises.”
In response, Iran’s parliamentary speaker cautioned on Saturday that the nation may launch preemptive strikes on Israel and U.S. military bases should it perceive indications of an imminent attack.
But how legitimate is this threat from their parliamentary speaker? “Iran has proven incapable of meaningful retaliatory strikes against the U.S.,” Dr. Spears pointed out.
Typically, he is “very cautious” regarding the deployment of U.S. military force in the matters of other countries, having witnessed the consequences of that approach in Iraq and Afghanistan. “But things are different in this case,” he observed. “The rightful monarch is ready to return and reestablish a government that would be recognized as legitimate by the Iranian people.”
He expressed his satisfaction upon learning that President Trump is exploring measures to drive the Iranian regime to a breaking point leading to its downfall. “This could be the once in a lifetime opportunity for the U.S. to use military options for purposes that history honors,” he argued.
Should President Trump call upon the U.S. military, “a basic principle of warfare is to give the enemy multiple dilemmas to solve at once,” said Dr. Spears. “If ever there was an ideal time for the U.S. military to add to the list of dilemmas that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps must solve,” he said, “it’s now.
“As Americans we like to say that we stand with people seeking freedom,” Dr. Spears noted. “We now have a small window in which to demonstrate it in a way that will break up hostile alliances and make the entire world safer.” He prays for the successful removal of the extremist Islamist regime that has troubled the world for far too long.
