"They have a license granted by us at the FCC, and that comes with it an obligation to operate in the public interest. Look, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct, to take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or, you know, there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead, he added."
"I read someplace that the networks were 97% against me. again, 97% negative. And yet I won, and easily won all seven swing states popular and won everything. And then 97% against. They give me only bad publicity, said Trump. And I mean, they're getting a license, I would think maybe their license should be taken away. It will be up to Brendan Carr."
President Donald Trump suggested revoking broadcast licenses of networks and late-night hosts that he said consistently attack him. ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's show following FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's remarks about broadcaster obligations tied to FCC licenses and possible enforcement. Carr emphasized that licensed broadcasters have a duty to operate in the public interest and signaled potential regulatory action if conduct does not change. Trump cited overwhelmingly negative network coverage and praised Carr as a patriot who could consider licensing actions. Trump characterized evening shows that repeatedly criticize him as aligned with the Democratic Party.
