aaron rodgers is expected to go back on espn today. he's expected to address whatever kimmel said in his monologue. i would not expect an apology, though, poppy, from aaron rodgers. aaron rodgers has been pretty vocal about his political viewpoints for a long time. he tends to say pretty outlandish things whether it's about not supporting vaccines, et cetera. so i think this feud is just going to continue to boil over. >> sarah, the business elements of this are completely fascinating to me because mcafee's show was a new introduction to espn. he's kind of been the new hot thing, huge viewership and listenership. espn obviously is abc, espn, part of disney, bob iger, like all of this connects together in a way that i would think bob iger would not really enjoy right now. how is this all playing out internally? >> yeah, well, it causes major tensions, especially with the pat mccalf fi show. this isn't the only controversy they're experiencing internally. i think what you're seeing is there is a certain type of internet culture where voi

aaron rodgers, we all heard it.hat he's on a weekly mainstream media platform, complaining about the mainstream media censoring him. you're not silence, it's just people think that all the things come out of your mouth are stupid. >> jimmy kimmel could sue for that kind of allegation. it is a really serious thing for espn. pat mcafee signed with espn for $85 million over several years, is this a case of the star here, pat mcafee, being so big that they cannot reprimand him? >> oh they could, but then they know that pat mcafee doesn't need espn this is him saying a leverage play, he's making a lot of money he's got an enormous audience, and they brought him in there to appeal to that young sports culture, that is what they want to tap into. when they decided to tap into certain parts of that culture, that is going to come with very specific headaches, specifically when you have aaron rodgers who is known to go off on his own tangents about the vaccines, and all those other things that have nothing to do with sports o

now they shut down aaron rodgers. pat mcafee, comes, as you don't need that big conglomerate anymore. the disney just prove that mcafee is more powerful than there? >> yes, i will say that i think mcafee making an announcement that he was not going to come back on was probably driven by disney. i think disney put pressure on him. that is what i would expect. but i think they cannot get out of this. you are absolutely right. because now, if they do the right thing and order him not to have rodgers on, they will inflame the right again. but so? what's so wet? what is disney really standing for here? jimmy kimmel is also very important to them. he is on five nights a week on their dying network, which doesn't have much to put on. he's also the host of the biggest show of the year. the oscars is going to come on. he's the host. do they really want this? they want their star to be bombarded this way? [inaudible] [inaudible] make the decision here. jimmy kimmel does not deserve to be dragged for this. and they should make c

so, what do you make of aaron rodgers? not sticking to sports at all. over again? >>> it makes me wish that would've said it on sports center. instead of 20 because people seem to think that anyway. because back then, the company guidelines -- would've been different. and now, every week, when you see aaron rodgers on that show, it looks like you're -- i'm try to figure out where all of this is going. the network is funny because they spend a lot of time to remove themselves from being political because they were accused mostly by right-wing conservatives of being to political, of being too liberal. now they seem to embrace and run in a different direction. aaron rodgers, one of the things that make someone of the best runner backs, he has great pocket, witness situational where. nobody is zero awareness when it comes to real life. i saw the entire interview that he did on pick mcafee show that kind of kick started this drama. what he said about jimmy kimmel. and he totally inferred, we know jeffrey epstein, we know what he's willing to. it's traffickin

espn took aaron rodgers off the air for the rest of the season. >> so aaron rodgers season 4 is done.se] >> a lot of people happy. myself included. the way it ended it got real loud. we are lucky to get a chance to chad with him. i am pumped that is no longer every single wednesday. >> jesse: rodgers and kimmel spent last three weeks throwing hay makers. kimmel is crown jewel two have been feuding for three years since kimmel rallied troops for standing up against vax mandate. rodgers may come up. kimmel is getting the last laugh. >> he thinks because god gave him the ability to throw a ball he is smarter than anyone else. congratulations to aaron rodgers done the impossible made the new york jets look even worse. >> flu, covid, rsv teaming up. doctors urging americans to ask your medical approximatal whichever quarterback you trust. >> jesse: out kick host charlie joins me. started over epstein. >> yes. >> jesse: how did this become aaron rods j-- rodgers off air. >> he said he called him a pedophile. aaron rodgers did explain what he said. all he said was people like jimmy kimmel do

you heard aaron rodgers say it.e saying he was on the flight list that had already been released about who had flown in epstein's plane. people believe what aaron rodgers says, and, unfortunately, i think we're in a case where it's happened across a lot of media where there's more money in letting the conspiracy theorists rant and rave and nothing much is done to correct them. i mean, i went to journalism school and i was taught you need to have not only a source and source and corroboration before you can publish something and that's simply not the case anymore. >> i've seen on social media all the fake lists. obviously nothing has been released. we've been covering this and will continue to cover it, and when the liz come out, we'll certainly cover it. you know, would you be surprised if espn continues to let rodgers on air after making this wildly inappropriate allegation and, again, just to underline this point and i don't want to sound preachy on this, but this isn't funny. this is about child sex trafficking,

there was some bad blood between aaron rodgers and kimmel because of jokes kimmel made criticizing rodgers conspiracy theories. here is legal analyst joey jackson. the reason ied you on to talk about this was the issue of defamation. what aaron rodgers said has no basis and no evidence to support it. when does something like that become defamation? >> yeah, important question to be answered for sure. what happens is remember what defamation is. it's a false statement that is injurious to someone's reputation and as a result of that can cause the person great reputational damage. when you talk about defamation as it relates to public figures, as both jimmy kimmel and aaron rodgers are, you had to show actual malice. what does that mean? you have to show knowledge that you made the statement knowing it was false or just reckless disregard as to whether it was false or true. so it's a very heightened standard. at the end of the day, i don't think it's ripe for defamation. no one would want to be talked about in the same sentence of epstein. when you talk about defamation, one defense is absol

aaron rodgers has a very high opinion of himself.ecause he had success on the football field, he believes himself to be an extraordinary being. he genuinely thinks that because god gave him the ability to throw a ball, he is smarter than everyone else. the idea that his brain is just average is unfathomable to him. we learned during covid that somehow he knows more about science than scientists. a guy who went to community college, then got into cal on a football scholarship and didn't graduate, someone who never spent a minute studying the human body is a expert in the field of immunology. he put on a magic helmet, and that g made him a genius. aaron got two "a's" on his report card and they were both in the word "aaron." okay. [ applause ] can you imagine that this hamster-brained man thinks he know what's the government is up to because he is a quarterback doing research on youtube and listening to podcasts. i looked it up, this is actually a thing. it's called the dunning-kruger effect. the dunning-kruger effect is "a cognitive b

and the vaccine in aaron rodgers was mostly vindicated on a lot of the things that he said. would also say jimmy campbell has a history of what you might consider to be slanderous statements he went after trump's staying into insane pt existed on this program so he better be careful if he wants to sue people for defamation. cheryl: jimmy campbell is going to say it's my job i'm a comedian this is what i do. but at the same time did he overreact, maybe jimmy campbell has thick skin. >> you forget addition out you gotta be able to take it as well, that's a moral story, i wonder the 200 names who they are that will be interesting to see. >> obviously the bid? in charlie gasparino has been reporting on this is the bank names, that will be an issue and obviously we have some? about some of those names coming out, bill clinton has been reported as whether the john does on the list although this comes from virginia jeffries lawsuit that bill clinton was not accused of any sexual misconduct but that he was on the island and on the plane. let's talk about this as far as the epstein l

and see migration in theaters now. >>> judge quarterback aaron rodgers made an appearance. it did not include an apology to a bct of host -- tv host jimmy kimmel. kimmel might be listed in the jeffrey epstein documents. rodgers made a brief mention of jimmy comeau and instead doubling down on debunked conspiracy theories about covid , vaccines and raising questions about misinformation going unchallenged on a platform that disney owns. oliver, pat said that he would check rodgers on anything that he knew was not true. >> he didn't do a good job. aaron rodgers was once again peddling all sorts of conspiracy theories and nonsense on espn when he came and responded to jimmy kimmel. he was talking about how vaccines supposedly cause injuries, which is of course something rejected by the medical community. he once again attacked dr. anthony fauci who is a widely respected public health authority. it was really a repeat of what we have seen rodgers do on espn during the show every tuesday. he comes on every tuesday. often, the conversation goes down this rabbit hole where he start

to apologize. >> aaron rodgers is too arrogant to know how ignorant he is. >> reporter: overnight, jimmyrk jets' quarterback aaron rogers in a scathing seven-minute monologue. >> he generally thinks that because god gave him the ability to throw a ball, he's smarter than everyone else >> reporter: kimmel again taking on the star quarterback after rodgers last week suggested a link between kimmel and convicted sex offenders jeffrey epstein while appearing on espn's pat mcafee show >> a lot of people, including jimmy kimmel, are hoping that doesn't come out >> geez. >> reporter: rodgers was referring to court documents that included names of people with some alleged connection to epstein. mcafee apologizing describing rodgers talk as locker room talk kimmel, who had threatened aaron rodgers with legal action doubling overnight. >> i don't know jeffrey epstein. when you hear a guy that won a super bowl and did all the state farm commercials say something like this, a lot of people believe it. >> reporter: over the past few years, the late night comedian has made the nfl star a punch line on

>>t become allf a sudden aaron rodgers is off the air? >> wele aal, jimmy kimmel, you mince his words and you said that aaron rodgers called him a and now his family was in danger. and this is how it all started when meanwhile, aaron rodgers did go baclled himk verbatim ye, we explaining what he said and it was nothing like that. all he said was people like jimmy kimmel do not want this list being released. >> right.o because he was saying like there maybe wasn't a list or the people who were talking about it were out of their minds. the liberals, they want to protect their own right. you realizliberalse that. but from there it all just got fr, big backre it all just got and forth. and aaron rodgers, he's a very authentic guy, as we've seen for years now. he does not do what others expected him to do to the beat of his own drum, as does pat mcafee. >> so what is so then what is pat mcafee saying now? he's sayin : whatg i took him offk hi the show or what? >> okay. o some so i spoke to someone close to the show earlier today and i said, wh

aaron rodgers, used his time to go on his anti-vaccine rant. assailing jimmy kimmel, for standing with the medical community, and the likes of doctors during the pandemic. let's take a look at that. >> he's on the platform of one of the biggest spreaders of misinformation during colder times. in my opinion, he ripped me about the vaccine. that turns out to be an apple -- there are a lot of injuries related to the vaccine. in my opinion, you went after me, that's fine. you are not offended. that was l what do you think that they are not the vaccine was both safe and effective. at some point, you have to wonder when espn and the parent company disney, when they step in. at this point, disney is one of the only major media companies outside fox that would allow this dangerous, anti-vaccine, medical misinformation to be aired and unchecked on air. this the first time that aaron rodgers has done this. he goes on these extended rents on this show. this is aired on espn. for now, they are staying silent and not commenting. >> thank you for that report

. >>> and jimmy kimmel eviscerating aaron rodgers. watch. >> aaron got two as on his reportrt card, thehey were boto the worlrld aaaaron, okay?y? i'm free to explore. i'm free to learn. i'm free to forge my own path. contra costa college is free for full-time students, which makes you free to explore all the incredible opportunities unleashed by higher learning. start your future and apply today at contracosta.edu/free >>> saw something on january 6 we'd never seen before even during the civil war. snu insurrectionists waving confederate flags inside the hall of congress for hours. defeat of the former president sat in the oval office and did nothing. nothing. absolutely nothing. losers are taught to concede when they lose. and he's a loser. >> that is president biden yesterday warning voters in south carolina what a second trump term could do to democracy. he spoke at the mother emanuel ame church in charleston where a white supremacist murdered nine people. and this comes as biden is losing some key report of african-americans, suppo

aaron rodgers, hot water is -- i don't know, the lightest of terms here. jimmy is really angry about this. and he should be. >> yeah, and as a jets fan, i think there are a lot of fans annoy good this. you recruit -- annoyed about this. you recruit a high- profile star, now he's injured accusing people of things, it's not a good look for the team, nfl, espn. having him on air accusing an abc star, remember disney owns abc and espn of doing something like this, it makes everyone look bad. no one looks good. >> why hasn't espn said anything? they've been silent. like you said, espn, abc, same company. >> i think one of the reasons is that they're paying pat mcafee a lot of money to license his show and the reason they did it is because they want espn to be in the zeitgeist. this is a pretty old cable network. they're competing against companies like barstool and bleacher report that are now and hip and internet friendly. and so when they license his show, the deal was we're not going to mess with the content. for them to come out and make a statement, i'm as

new york jets quarterback aaron rodgers went back on the pat mcafee show yesterday. >> it was his chance to clear the air with jimmy kimmel after he clearly and baselessly implied the comedian was associated with jeffrey epstein. instead, rodgers took digs at kimmel, claimed he was being censored, railed on the woke establishments and made disparaging comments about dr. anthony fauci. joining us sara fisher. look, i'm not surprised as somebody who follows aaron rodgers and his appearances on the show. i think what i'm more intrigued by is this was like a half hour deal on a sports show that people listen to for sports. how is -- like from a business perspective i don't understand how that's something that can work? >> people don't just listen to it for sports, phil. that's the thing. remember, when espn paid pat mcafee to license his show, they were looking to tap into young, internet culture and part of that is taking big sports celebrities and athletes and putting them on your show and getting their opinion about whatever it is in their life. obviously, that presents a problem for espn

sports host pat mcafee apologizing for controversial comments made on his show by jets quarterback aaron rodgersght be a connection between late night host jimmy kimmel and sex offender jeffrey epstein. >> a lot of people, including jimmy kimmel, are really hoping these documents aren't released. >> reporter: referring to documents released that included names of hundreds of people tied to epstein. kimmel oos name not among them. >> there could be things that were probably meant to be talk joke that can then become something that is obviously a serious allegation. >> mcafee noting he and rodgers recorded tuesday's show on two hours of sleep after the rose bowl game adding he didn't think the comments were serious the calling it locker room talk. >> i think aaron is like, hey, he said stuff about me in his monologue. i don't think he meant anything else. but he's going to have to clarify that. they have been jousting a bit. sfwlr over the past few years, the comedian has made the nfl star a punch line on his show. frequently criticizing rodgers for conspiracy theories and his anticovid vaccine st

the next day the host of the program had to go on tv and try to clean up aaron rodgers mess. >> i can see why jimmy kimmel felt the way he did, but i think aaron was just trying to talk [ bleep ]. did you go to fire? jimmy kimmel certainly so that was the case. we, and i but that is aaron and jimmy. >> blah blah. that's one example of the way that the epstein conspiracies are sort of weaponized as all purpose tool against the conspiratorial right perceived enemies. i have to say, it is just so unbelievable that fox news, republicans, conservatives, have made jeffrey epstein, jeffrey epstein, the focal point of their world view about who the bad guys are in society. let's look at the facts. the guy in american politics most closely associated with epstein and particularly epstein's scandals is, i think, inarguably donald trump. back in 2019 when epstein was arrested for sex trafficking charges there is renewed interest in his past misdeeds, in including that he had been nailed for this before and had pled guilty in 2008 for a white prostitute prosecutors called soliciting an underage p

its top star, jimmy kimmell, has been getting roasted by quarterback aaron rodgers. happening on espn which disney ceo bob iger owns. last year kimmell called rodgers a whack o for speculating powerful forces are trying to keep a lid on the epstein client list. now we know there is a list and it has been supressed, and famous names like steven hawking, michael jackson and bill clinton keep popping up, aaron rodgers feels vindicated. >> something to do with the epstein list that came out. >> that's supposed to be coming out. >> i have been waiting in my wine cellar. >> there's a lot of people, including jimmy kimmell, really hoping that doesn't happen. >> please! >> jesse: kimmell took that personally and thought rodgers was accusing him oven being on the epstein list. first kimmell threatens lawsuit in a lawsuit then on jimmy kimmell live he came out swinging. >> we learned during covid somehow he knows more about science than scientists. a guy who went to community college then got into cal on a football scholarship and didn't graduate. someone who never spent a minu

aaron rodgers is the hall of fame, he went outside of the realm of coaching and sometimes it is good you have a guy who does what he's coached to do. >> taylor swift and her custom-made travis kelce jacket had social media buzzing over the weekend. it turns out it was designed by his teammates wife. >> my wife was talking about that but i told her i don't have her number. that would be so embarrassing for us. >> with the red and gold report, i'm vern glenn. >>> coming up, decades of high-fashion all in one place. where you can check out a century of this election is a choice between results or just rhetoric. californians deserve a senator who is going to deliver for them every day and not just talk a good game. adam schiff. he held a dangerous president accountable. he also helped lower drug costs, bring good jobs back home, and build affordable housing. now he's running for the senate. our economy, our democracy, our planet. this is why we fight. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. >>> coming up tonight at 5:00, we meet a woman who has been at the forefront of caring for fa

this is not what the network wants to be known for, so today, the host, coming out and saying, aaron rodgers is no longer going to be joining them for the rest of the nfl season. now, i'm told that this is in direct response to rodgers and his behavior on the program. in past nfl seasons, rodgers has been a guest as the playoffs have been underway but that won't be the case this year, and frankly, pat mcafee who has a good relationship with roger, he pays them seven figures to come on the show, he also seemed relieved, take a look at what he said earlier today. >> there could be a lot of people that are happy with that, myself included. the way it ended, it got real loud. i'm happy that he's not going to be my mentions going forward, which is great news. i'm running my show. i keep my creative rights, 100%. >> he said this is not what he wants his show to be known for. and so, i think espn, disney, they're looking to put this all behind them. >> very interesting to hear what he said there. oliver, thank you so much. stay with cnn news central, much more news, after the break. >>> breaking ne

harsh new words for quarterback aaron rodgers from late night talk show host jimmy kimmel. t totally unfounded claim kimmel had ties to sexual predator jeffrey epstein. last night kimmel had a takedown during his seven-minute monologue. >> aaron rodgers is too arrogant to know how ignorant he is. they let him host "jeopardy!" for two weeks, now he knows everything. by the way, i'm not one of those people who thinks athletes and members of the sports media should stick to talking about sports. i think aaron rodgers has the right to express any opinion he wants to, but saying someone is a pedophile is not an opinion. >> he made comments last week and kimmel threatened him if he continues to make claims. kimmel wants rodgers to apologize, but fears that will not happen. >>> the irs says americans can start filing their taxes on january 29th. now, the deadline is still april 15th, irs expects to receive nearly 129 million returns by the scheduled deadline. the tax season will include new developments, including the irs effort to launch its own direct filing platform, which would

new york jets quarterback aaron rodgers on tuesday refused to apologize to jimmy kimmel for publicly suggesting without any support that he might be named in documents identifying associates of the late accused sex is trafficker jeffrey epstein. kimmel has not been named in any documents. on tuesday on espn, rodgers not only didn't apologize, he denied implying that kimmel was in the epstein documents. >> as long as he understands what i actually said and that i'm not accusing him of being on a list, i'm not stupid enough to accuse you of with zero evidence, that's ridiculous. >> but here's what rodgers said last week about the epstein documents. >> a lot of people, including jimmy kimmel. >> which kimmel threaten eed to sue rodgerss and secured him on his show. >> he got two a's on his report card. they were both in the word aaron. >> reporter: kimmel th felt he needed to counter his insinuation about being in the documents. >> my name wasn't on it. it won't ever be on it. i don't know jeffrey epstein. i am not on a list. i was not on a plen or island or anything ever. >> on tuesday

next, we might be hearing a little less from aaron rodgers going forward. >> the new york jets quarterback's pat mcafee show during the current nfl season. the gig ended amid controversy sparked by rodgers comments about jimmy kimmel. it's unclear if rodgers will be back on the show next season. well, a sweet treat steeped in nostalgia is disappearing from store shelves. >> say it ain't so. we're talking about fruit stripe gum. generations of americans have enjoyed the brightly colored striped sweets since 1960. from 1960. if you're a fan, stock up because the gum is being discontinued. and if you're a fan of mcdonald's big mac, get ready to double up starting in about two weeks, mickey d's is bringing back the double big mac. >> it includes four all beef patties and almost double the amount of sauce, but only one slice of cheese. adding up to a whopping 740 calories. that's it. you know, go great after a big mac, some fruit stripe gum. >> you can't do that no more top >> you can't do that no more top headlines next aah, it's a good day to cough. oh, no! bye, bye cough. later chest congest

is there liability on aaron rodgers part for even associating him with this list?> i mean maybe but he's not going to prevail in court. i saw the clip and this was totally a joke in response to the way that jimmy kimmel has mocked aaron rodgers on his show and if you watch jimmy kimmel's show you know that he no longer knows what a joke i is so at the end of the day he won't prevail. >> trace: your final thoughts on this entire subject sarah? >> yeah, i think you don't trust institutions and particularly the justice department has fallen so low among members of the public that will's not a lot of faith that anyone will be held accountable for the epstein saga. law enforcement authorities had known about this for a decade before jeffrey epstein was arrested on federal charges. even though this is emerging faith that this is going to get taken carry of, accountability is low. >> trace: he had sex with under age girls and he did not account for it. he had a very softball punishment in florida. so that goes to show you. sarah, mehek thank you both we appreciate it >> c

i love aaron rodgers.giving everyone the middle finger. >> kayleigh: he does trigger the left often. >> pete: he does. jimmy kimmel literally traffics in the reckless words. that's what comedians do. how many people has he targeted time and time again who have been impacted by that, and now he, one commons, he loses his mind? they've all lost their mind. they are not finding anymore and they can't take criticisms. >> kayleigh: legal action, emily. i'm sure you will represent him. >> emily: you said a perfect and the intro, can dish it but can't take it. i hate public feuds between these babies, where you -- to your point, you traffic in words, and funny clips. someone says it and you lose your mind. all it does is show him, insecurity, his sensitivity. pat mcafee is apologizing, because everybody is afraid of accountability. let's not bury the lede. what we want to know is -- identified, the subject of our first block. show me the real answer. i don't care about the people who are pointing fingers at each

with some rearguard action, its top star, jimmy kimmel, has been getting roasted by quarterback aaron rodgers. >> and it's all been happening on espn, which disney ceo bob iger owns. last year, kimmel called rodgers a concussed wacko for speculating that powerful forces are trying to keep a lid on the epstein client list. >> and now that we know that there is a list and it has been suppressed and famous names like stephen hawking, michael jackson, david copperfield and bill clinton keep popping up. >> aaron rodgers feels vindicated. >> so something to do with the epstein list that came out. >> it feels feels like it's close to coming out to and that's supposed to be coming out soon. >> this guy's been waiting here. i've waiting in my wine cellar for whole lot of people, including jimmy kimmel. >> i really hope it is not now, kimmel took that personally and thought rodgers was accusing him of being on the epstein list first. kimmel threatens rodgers with a lawsuit and then on jimmy kimmel live, he came out swinging. we learned during colbert. somehow he knows more about science than scientists
