This is amazing. New York Jets star quarterback Aaron Rodgers went off on late night host Jimmy Kimmel on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday and he brought the receipts.
The quarrel between the two public figures started last week when depositions related to the Epstein case were unveiled.
Rodgers seized the opportunity to point out “there’s a lot of people, including Jimmy Kimmel, really hoping that doesn’t come out.”
But Rodgers’ eloquent and detailed explanation for the remark should put Jimmy Kimmel, and the rest of the mainstream media that has been attacking Rodgers for being insufficiently “Woke,” to shame.
Fast forward to, again, unprompted, we’re talking on our show as we do about a lot of different topics. Somehow the Epstein client list comes up and I said, it’s interesting. And there were for a long time, even still, there hasn’t been a list that’s been released. There’s been one person’s deposition from a 2015 case. But we said there’s an excitement to expose corruption. And what I joked about the other day, about popping a bottle, there’s excitement about when the corruption anywhere gets exposed and people who are accused of these heinous crimes get exposed. That will be nice that we can get this all out in the open that’s not there.
So I made this comment on the show whenever that was last year, right? I believe. And then unprompted, he comes out and says that I’m an overly concussed wacko, in my opinion, it seemed like, because I believe that there was a list and that there were names on that.
So then we fast forward to this last week, and I said that a lot of people, and I’m quoting myself here, ‘a lot of people including Jimmy Kimmel, are really hoping that doesn’t come out.’ That’s what I said. That’s the entire quote. Okay? I was referring to the fact that if there is a list, which again, this hasn’t come out yet. This was just a deposition, right?
And there are names on it, then that would be the second time that a soft brain, junior college student, wacko, anti-vax, anti-Semite purveyor, spreader of misinformation, conspiracy theorists, MAGA, whatever other things have been said by him and other people in the media would be right twice.
Now, let me just say that that is the truth, number one. Number two, I totally understand how serious an allegation of pedophilia would be. So for him to be upset about that, I get it.
Did you watch the quote? Because that’s exactly what I said verbatim what I said on the show. Okay? I’m not stupid enough, even though you think I’m an idiot and you made a lot of comments about my intelligence, but I’m not stupid enough to accuse you of that with absolutely zero evidence, concrete evidence. That’s ridiculous.
So I’m glad, and I think we can agree on something, is that one, those crimes are heinous, and two… and this is what I think we can agree on that at minimum, there should be an inquiry into their involvement, especially if they went to the island and at maximum there should be an investigation into it. So I hope that you’ll give the same type of energy to these heinous crimes when they do come out and the names do come out, and there is an inquiry into it that you gave to other subjects that I actually mentioned that you spent a lot of time working on.
So I’d like to put this to bed to move forward. I don’t understand, to just finish this up, I do understand, but I don’t understand Mike Foss comment because he didn’t help out either. And I’m going to quote Mike Foss. He said, ‘Aaron made a dumb and factually incorrect joke about Jimmy Kimmel. It should never have happened. We all realized that in the moment.’ Mike, you’re not helping. You’re not helping. Because I just read earlier exactly what I said, and this is the game plan of the media, and this is what they do. They try and cancel. And it is not just me. It is nowhere near just me. I mean, if you look at all the different people who’ve been censored from the internet, especially during Covid, the canceling that went on the censorship, using the government to try and censor people that happened, and if that doesn’t work, then they go to name calling.
I mentioned a lot of the names that I’ve been called and they don’t stick because I’m not anti-vax, interested in informed consent and things that are in the best interest of my body. I’m not a MAGA. I’ve never had any affiliation with anybody associated with that movement, which is okay if you are though. There’s different opinions all over the place. If that’s your ideology, that’s fine. I’m not a super political person. Okay? Do whatever you want. Conspiracy theorists, that’s fine, because if you look at the track record of conspiracy theorists in the last few years, they’ve been right about a lot of things.
So I don’t care about that one. Antisemite that was called, I mean, that’s like this is their game plan. They use these words to cancel people, and they went and ran with this because it’s the crazy anti-vax or wacko. Again, talking about accusing somebody of being a pedophile.
Of course, this is the game plan that they use… but that’s the environment that we’re in. There’s a lot of people who have been captured by various entities, government entities, whether we’re talking about pharmaceutical industrial complex, or whether you’re just talking about believing that the government has a best interest in mind, and we’re puppeting various narratives. In the end, if you are not someone whose opinion aligns with the mainstream narrative, this is what they’re going to do with you. And it’s not me. I’m not a victim. I don’t give a shit. Say whatever the hell you want about me. That’s fine. The people that know me and love me, you know what I’m all about. My teammates know what I’m all about. Most inspiring, most inspiring teammate.
*By way, congratulations. Won an award in the middle of this whole thing for your teammates… Obviously some people puked because of that… You were named the most inspiration teammate, should we say? That was not like joy, tears of joy.
I still, in the end, to sum this up, listen, I still haven’t popped a bottle because there hasn’t been any list that’s come out. And I’m glad that Jimmy is not on the list. I really am. And I don’t think he’s the P word. And I think it’s impressive that a man who went to Arizona State and has 10 joke writers can read off a prompter. So my education at JUCO and my three semesters at Cal that I’m very proud of has worked out for me, and I’m glad to see it’s worked out for him as well. So I wish him the best. Again, I don’t give a shit what he says about me.
Kimmel had recently ribbed Rodgers by calling him “Karen” in a windy monologue that was long on lame jokes and short on facts.
It looks like Kimmel just got beat at his own game by a Community College graduate who happens to be a four-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl Champion, Super Bowl MVP, and future Hall of Famer.
Who could’ve seen that coming? Except, you know, everybody.
