The well-known 49-year-old American TV presenter Jimmy Kimmel began on Monday the ether of his entertaining show with not very cheerful news. It turns out that on April 21 he and his wife Molly became parents for the second time. They had a boy named William, who had a serious heart disease diagnosed.
Kimmel praised the US Congress
All the fans of the transfer of Jimmy Kimmel Live are used to the fact that it is not necessary to feel sad. As it is already started not for the first year Jimmy invites in a studio of different known persons over which he jokes. But yesterday's broadcast was dedicated to his newborn son William and the problems of funding medicine in the US.
His transfer Kimmel began with a rather long monologue, in which he spoke about the birth of his son. Here are the words in it:
"April 21 is one of the most amazing and memorable days in my life. Molly gave birth to a son! You can not imagine how happy I was! At first everything was fine, but three hours after the birth of William the doctors began to take some tests from him. We really did not say anything, but after a series of examinations a doctor approached us and said that the boy had a congenital heart disease. He was immediately taken to the operating room and opened his chest, where one of the valves was normalized. When I say these words, everything inside of me contracts. For me, those 3 hours that the operation lasted were the most exhilarating, heavy and longest in my entire life. However, I'm glad that the operation ended well, and my son will live. "
After that, Jimmy decided to talk about politics, although he had never done this before:
"For the first time in my life on my show, I will be talking very serious things. While I was with William and Molly in the hospital, I heard a lot of different things about what is happening in the healthcare industry. It turns out that Donald Trump is trying to cut funding for medicine. This is very sad, because when children die all other problems go to the background. And it does not matter who earns how much, just if in the hospital at the time when you urgently need to operate the child, there would not be the right drugs, then he would just die. I want to now stand up to applaud the US Congress, which did not support the president in this matter and did not sign the relevant documents. You know, it was only after the incident with William that I became seriously interested in politics. I always thought that what is happening somewhere around the president does not concern me, but I was wrong. This applies to everyone and everyone. It is necessary to fight injustice, because such laws can kill hundreds of young children. "
