Q: Your post from 2019 says, 'Should the government censor speech it doesn't like? Of course not. The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the public interest.' How do you square what you're saying with those old posts? Trump's FCC Chair:... show more

Philip: Just a couple of years ago, back in 2019, Brendan Carr, he tweeted this on a different topic. Should the government censor speech it doesn't like? Of course not. The FCC does not have a roving mandate to police speech in the name of the public interest. And yet he is doing exactly that today. Where does this end? Where does this end in your mind? Are you you are fully comfortable with the government saying, if you don't do this, if you don't get this person off the air who said something that was wrong or that you did not like…. Walker: I didn’t like it when the Biden admin worked with big tech during covid Phillip: So, why are you defending it?

Polls shows that most Americans agree with @TedCruz's statement today that "it's not the government's job to censor speech, and I do not believe the FCC should operate as the speech police."

.Rep. Darren Soto: "Chairman, you've turned the FCC into Trump's attack dog to crush First Amendment rights...How do you justify using the FCC to censor news and satire of Trump's rampant corruption?" Brendan Carr: "I have an obligation to operate in the public interest."

NEWSNATION: Should the networks air President Trump's speech tomorrow night? FCC CHAIR BRENDAN CARR: Of course. Yeah. Any time the president stands up there in primetime to deliver information or news or content, I think broadcasters should make sure the American public can see it. NN: Do you think the networks have a responsibility in terms of their TV licenses to air it? CARR: Broadcasters have an obligation to operate in the public interest.

Q: I do wonder whether you really are just targeting comedians, who typically have made fun of political figures, because Trump simply is offended by it. Trump's FCC Chair: Not all. If you have a broadcast TV license, that means that you have something that very few people have. It comes with an obligation to serve the public interest

BARTIROMO: What do you say to critics who say the FCC is crossing over into editorial decision making? BRENDAN CARR: There are some broadcasters out there that feel they are being censored by the FCC. There are broadcasters saying they're changing their coverage because of the agency. What we're really doing is restoring the FCC's enforcement of the public interest standard (Not that this is not a denial of ABC's allegation that the FCC is engaging in censorship ... )

Schatz: "If there's a determination by the FCC that satire is not in the public interest, you believe you have the authority to revoke the license of the broadcaster?" Carr: "That's not my position at all…Satire that's not broadcast hoax, that's not news distortion, is perfectly fine."

Free speech is not for the speech you like or for the people you like. Free speech is for the speech that you hate of the people you despise. If you're for free speech, you have to be for their free speech, or else you're not for free speech. You're for the government breaking the constitution. Full Video:

🚨 NOW: Trump FCC Chair Brendan Carr is officially CALLING IN EARLY Disney's ABC licenses after their DEI practices were scrutinized ABC should reverse course NOW! DEI is DOA! "Broadcast licenses are not sacred cows. You have to comply with certain public interest obligations to get them and to maintain them and to renew them." "We've called in Disney's ABC licenses early for early renewal. That's pending before the FCC. There have been petitions to deny the renewal of those station licenses." "Ultimately, if Disney has not been operating its ABC TV stations in the public interest over the last several years, then that's a pretty long put for them."

Joe Manchin: "Ted Cruz said, this guy, the FCC [Chair], is crazy. You can't do that. Get rid of him." Bill Maher: "Here's the ultimate irony. Charlie Kirk said, 'hate speech does not exist legally in America. There's ugly speech, there's gross speech, there's evil speech, and all of it is protected by the First Amendment. Keep America free.' Could you guys at least honor the person you're insisting that we honor?" Alex Wagner: "The administration's Wizard of Oz, Tucker Carlson, has come out and said that what Pam Bondi said isn't okay."

Schneider: When you absolutely lie to the public, then you are no longer in the public interest like Jimmy Kimmel did the other night… The FCC chairman, he did not say he would pull the license, he was going to give them a warning… so it is not the government doing it.

Mullin: Will you commit today that the FCC will not use its licensing authority, enforcement role, or claims of news distortion to politically pressure or punish broadcasters for their editorial decisions? Carr: The FCC is going to enforce the public interest standard and the news distortion broadcast hoax rule, and those are the actions we’re going to take.

Q: When you say you want fair coverage, does that mean coverage that's more favorable to this president? Carr: Look, something has to change. Again, it's not just my perspective… If you're going to run a broadcast media operation, the FCC and congress, frankly, have decided you need to operate in the public interest. That's one of the things we're pushing for, how do we reempower these broadcasters who serve the interests of their local communities? So much of this now is driven by the national programmers whether ABC, CBS is or NBC.. One of the things we’re trying to do at the FCC is how do we empower local, constrain the power of these national programmers so broadcasters can actually serve their local communities.

Trump’s use of the FCC and the federal government to silence a comedian is just another chilling development down the road of ending free speech in America.

🚨 "The Media Is NOT the Gatekeeper." Mainstream Media Debates NOT Airing Trump's Address Ahead of President Donald J. Trump's address to the nation, some in the media are suggesting networks should cut away from the speech if they believe he's making false claims - or not air it at all. "It is not the media's job to censor what the president says and decide what he's right about or wrong about." The argument is simple:🚨 "The Media Is NOT the Gatekeeper." Mainstream Media Debates NOT Airing Trump's Address "When you start blocking him from even speaking because you think he's going to tell falsehoods... you've crossed the line." The bigger question isn't just about one speech - it's about whether news organizations should act as gatekeepers for what the public is allowed to hear.

Democrat or Republican, we can’t have the government arbitrating truth or opinion. Thank you to Brendan Carr for agreeing that we must implement robust First Amendment protections to ensure that the FCC can’t use the public interest standard to suppress the freedom of speech.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr says Kimmel and Colbert are now facing the consequences of choosing to cater to a narrow, partisan audience. “You can do that, you can start a podcast, you can go on YouTube…but if you’re going to have a license from the FCC, we expect you to broadly serve the public interest.” The era of activist late-night TV is collapsing.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Sen. Ed Markey just SHREDDED FCC Chair Brendan Carr right to his face: “You should be ASHAMED of yourself. You’re parroting whatever Trump wants you to say. You once believed in the First Amendment. Now you’ve sold it out for a title.” Markey didn’t stop there 👉 “….You should go back to the original Brendan Carr, who believed in the First Amendment, who believed in free speech. It is a sad commentary upon you, Brendan Carr, attorney, FCC commissioner, free speech advocate, to have sunk so low that because Donald Trump gave you this job, he has given you an offer you can't refuse, which is if you don't bend the knee, you will lose your job as the FCC chairman. What a sad price you're paying. What a sad price that you, who have committed your life to the First Amendment, to free speech, is paying just so you can have a title at a federal agency. Please stand up the same way that Susan Monarez stood up at the Center for Disease Control to say, "I will not allow for the compromise of science." You, sir, should say the same thing about the compromise of the First Amendment.”
