The Real Agenda Behind Jimmy Kimmel's Removal - David Frum - America at a Crossroads

[Rhiannon12866]

Why was Jimmy Kimmel really fired — and how does it tie into Donald Trump’s larger political strategy? In this exclusive interview, The Atlantic’s David Frum argues that Kimmel’s removal isn’t just another “cancel culture” headline but part of a much bigger struggle over free speech, money, and political power.

Frum lays out why he believes the Kimmel episode reveals Trump’s “golden opportunity” to weaken Democratic fundraising and exert unprecedented influence over media voices. He also explains why, in his view, this moment is more dangerous to free expression than anything seen since the McCarthy era.

Watch to hear David Frum connect the dots between Kimmel, Trump, and the fight over America’s democratic institutions. - 09/18/2025.
