3:05pm- Trump Should End the Federal Communications Commission (FCC): ABC/Disney has indefinitely suspended “Jimmy Kimmel Live”—following Kimmel’s comments on the killing of Charlie Kirk. The late-night host shamefully accused Republicans of using the death to “score political points.” While the network’s move appears to be a result of Kimmel’s comments coupled with poor ratings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr suggested his department could potentially investigate ABC/Disney over Kimmel’s vitriolic remarks—muddying the waters. Many have expressed concern that Carr’s warning amounts to a First Amendment violation. Republicans must be consistent defenders of free speech. Rich thinks Carr should mimic Linda McMahon’s pledge to do away with the Department of Education and end the FCC once and for all.

3:20pm- During the Biden Administration, Democrats and media members called for widespread censorship of opinions they didn’t like—suggesting those takes amounted to “dangerous misinformation.” Republicans should not be adopting a similar stance just because they’re in power right now.

3:25pm- Flashback: In February 2022, then-White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki warned that if Spotify did not do more to police Joe Rogan’s Covid-19 “misinformation,” the federal government would get involved.

3:40pm- Listeners weigh in: Should the Trump Administration do away with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)?

3:50pm- On Friday, 38 Democrats—including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez—voted against a House resolution honoring the life and legacy of Charlie Kirk. The resolution ultimately passed with bipartisan support despite performative outrage from AOC.

Remember when hate speech was supposed to be policed? The left has apparently given up on that now that Jimmy Kimmel has been suspended for what he said in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination. Here's a wide-ranging, insightful take on the FCC and Donald Trump, hypocrisy and censorship from the Marc Cox show, Rich Zeoli, Annie Frey, Tara Servatius and more.

Many have expressed concern that Carr’s warning amounts to a First Amendment violation. Republicans must be consistent defenders of free speech.

3:15pm- Following ABC/Disney’s decision to end Kimmel’s show, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr went on television expressing joy over the announcement. Carr told MSNBC: “We're on a cable show right now. You don't have an FCC license and an obligation to serve the public interest. Podcasts don't either...Kimmel is free to do that—but if you have a broadcast TV license...it comes with an obligation to serve the public interest.” Rich points out that Carr’s comments aren’t helpful and allow Democrats to claim Kimmel is a victim of government-led censorship.

3:50pm- Callers weigh in on comments from the FCC Chairman and ABC/Disney’s decision to end Jimmy Kimmel’s show. Is the Trump Administration making a massive mistake getting involved in Kimmel’s termination? Most seem to agree, this is problematic.

4:20pm- Fox News host Laura Ingraham stated that Carr should have stayed off television and allowed the market to determine whether Kimmel retained his show. Rich says her take is 100% correct: keep the government out of it!

4:30pm- During the Biden Administration, Democrats and media members called for widespread censorship of opinions they didn’t like—suggesting those takes amounted to “dangerous misinformation.” Republicans should not be adopting a similar stance just because they’re in power right now.

4:40pm- Why is FCC Chairman Brendan Carr constantly making television appearances and taking credit for Kimmel’s cancellation? He’s not doing the Trump Administration any favors. Does he have an interest in running for office? Because he seems to be prioritizing his own self interests. Rich says: “this guy has got to go.”

6:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer held a joint press conference from the United Kingdom. Trump reacted to the U.K.’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state: "We have to remember October 7th—one of the worst, most violent days in the history of the world...I want an end. I want the hostages released...I have a disagreement with the Prime Minister on that score—one of our few disagreements, actually."

6:40pm- Unbelievable: While speaking with Scott Jennings, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said he may investigate “The View’ next.

3:05pm- Krasner Ramps Up Vitriolic Language. During a town hall event on Tuesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said of Republicans: “fascists are going to be fascist” and abhorrently accused the party of not believing in racial or gender equality. While other public officials have turned down the heated rhetoric following the murder of Charlie Kirk, Krasner seems to be embarrassing venomous, purposefully divisive language.

Plus, DeAngelis reacts to Weingarten baselessly calling him “weird” and a “stalker” simply for advocating for school choice. She also accuses DeAngelis of being “obsessed.” He hilariously responds: “No, Randi Weingarten! I don’t want to date you!!”

5:40pm- Embarrassing: Sen. Cory Booker lost his mind during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel—at one point continually screaming, “I’m not afraid of you!”

5:50pm- Congresswoman Lucy McBath (D-GA) accused FBI Director Kash Patel of making the U.S. less safe under his leadership. Patel rejected her accusation, destroying her claims with facts: “If we're failing...how are we arresting 23,000 violent felons? 2x as many as this time last year. How are we seizing 1,500 kg of meth, 25% increase from last year. We captured four top ten FBI most wanted from around the world in 7 months. That's more than the entirety of the last administration. We put 1,500 child predators in prison. We dismantled 300 human trafficking networks. So, which is it? You don't like me, that's fine. But don't you dare disparage the men and women of the FBI that are producing record results in historic fashion to protect this country. They are kicking ass ...
