U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested revoking broadcast licenses from television networks he claims are “against him.” His remarks follow ABC’s decision to suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show indefinitely after pressure from the FCC.
00:00Welcome back. U.S. President Donald Trump has suggested for the federal government to revoke broadcast licenses from television networks he claims are against him.
00:10His comments come a day after the American broadcasting company ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show indefinitely under pressure from the Federal Communications Commission, FCC.
00:22The suspension followed Kimmel's remarks about the murder of conservative influencer Charlie Kirk in Utah, which prompted the FCC to threaten regulatory action.
00:34Kimmel had suggested that Kirk's shooter was a Trump supporter and accused the megagang of exploiting the tragedy while also mocking Trump's response on the matter.
00:43FCC Chair Brandon Carr warned the suspension may not be the last, feeling concerns the Trump administration is interfering in media and curtailing free speech.
