JT Ennis, a spokesperson for Talarico’s campaign, noted on X that the interview’s YouTube views were more than double the number of viewers who watched President Donald Trump’s speech on Fox News during the Republican midterm convention in Dallas.
As of Saturday afternoon, the roughly 20-minute late-night appearance, which was moved to YouTube and not broadcast, had racked up 6.3 million views. Trump’s convention speech Wednesday drew in 2.5 million viewers on Fox News, ahead of MS NOW’s 1 million and CNN’s 441,000 in the same period, according to Reuters. Those figures measure television viewers, while the Talarico interview’s figure represents YouTube views.

If this had aired on TV I wouldn’t have seen it. Streisand would be proud.
Last I saw it, it was around 2 million, and now it’s over 9 million. Do the maga people even watch Kimmel?
Historically (2016) people who identify as conservative did watch Kimmel. As well as many moderates.
However a lot has changed in the last ten years and since then the late night cable show “Gutfeld!” has become popular with conservatives.
I suspect a handful of moderates and some conservatives do still watch Kimmel, and hopefully enough watched the interview and are swayed.
Streisand would be proud.
Probably not, given the particulars of how the phenomenon came to be named after her 😄
Best way to get someone to watch or read something is to tell them they can’t.
He’s still a transphobic piece of shit
What about the person he is running against?
Also a fucking waste of oxygen.
It can be both.
So let’s just say, hypothetically, that you had to pick between the two…
I’m not saying people shouldn’t vote for him.
Just hold him accountable for his shitty opinions.
It’s Texass.
Baby steps.
I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Fellow ‘Allies’ are always trying to push wedge issues.
Sorry that my basic rights are considered a “wedge issue” for you, dick
Yeah, it must be my personal bias and not an observation of actual reality to say that trans rights is used as a divisive issue in the US.
I’m glad you’ve educated me that the US population is, in fact, in harmony and without disagreement on this issue.
Does typing out all these $10 words make you feel nice and superior?
Yes, degradation of trans rights is “actual reality”.
Fucking hell, what a coward you are by calling it a “wedge issue” as if that makes it go away or something to be ignored
dude is way too into jesus, but on the transphobia, that’s not my take.
