YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s program Wednesday over comments he made about the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez pushed back, saying"there is no basis for revoking any licenses."

President Donald Trump said US broadcast networks should face scrutiny over their licenses if they’re too critical of him, in what amounts to his furthest-reaching threat to media freedoms.

“When you have a network and you have evening shows, and all they do is hit Trump,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Thursday. “I would think maybe their license should be taken away.”
