00:00Barack Obama slams dangerous Trump administration after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.

00:06Barack Obama slammed Donald Trump's administration following Jimmy Kimmel's suspension.

00:11After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to

00:16a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies

00:22unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn't like, Obama wrote on X.

00:28He added a link to an article calling out Kimmel's suspension as Trump's most brazen

00:32attack on free speech yet.

00:35On September 15, Kimmel spoke about Charlie Kirk on his show.

00:39We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize

00:43this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, he stated.

00:48As OK reported, Kirk was speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University on September

00:5210 as part of his American comeback tour.

00:56He spoke to a crowd at a Prove Me Wrong debate outside, inviting students to challenge his

01:00political and cultural views.

01:03After a question regarding mass shooters, a bullet struck Kirk in the neck.

01:07He was pronounced dead soon after.

01:09Tyler Robinson was taken into custody after reportedly being turned in by his dad for the murder of

01:14Kirk.

01:15While his parents appear to be conservative politically, Robinson had developed different views than

01:20them.

01:21The FCC urged companies to take action on Jimmy Kimmel.

01:25Brendan Carr, the head of the FCC appointed by Trump, spoke out after Kimmel's comments.

01:31We can do this the easy way or the hard way, he said.

01:34These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's

01:39going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.

01:42Shortly after, the show was pulled from ABC and put on an indefinite pause.

01:47After the ordeal, a source claimed Kimmel wants to cut ties with ABC for good.

01:52This is the last straw, they said, adding that Jimmy is furious over his suspension and actively

01:57seeking to break his contract.

01:59The insider revealed Kimmel and Colbert are even considering teaming up to push back against

02:03Trump, with Jimmy more determined than ever to speak his mind.
