12:41Now PlayingAttorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down the Trump administration's escalating war on the press over its coverage of the war in Iran. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is literally standing at the Pentagon podium telling reporters what their headlines should say. FCC Chair Brendan Carr is threatening to revoke broadcast licenses — except he has no authority over cable networks like CNN. And Trump is calling the media "corrupt and highly unpatriotic" for doing their jobs. Brian and Shant walk through the First Amendment, prior restraints, and the Federal Communications Act of 1934, then run through the long and distinguished list of world leaders who've tried what Trump is trying — from Hitler and Stalin to Putin, Erdogan, and Kim Jong Un. The company you keep says everything.
