And you give that to the executive.

It doesn't work well for anybody.

I've also seen this ridiculous conflation that kind of the public.

canceling people the public critiquing people on their own average everyday american people is somehow the same as the state doing it and this is something that really enrages me because of course there's a whole huge discussion out there about cancel culture this has been a big topic the right wing for a while has gone you're canceling us you're canceling us look at what the libs are doing once again they try to take the actions

of random people of everyday americans and they try to say this is indicative of the state this is indicative of the democratic party no the hell it is not joe biden wasn't going around telling corporations to fire people he was not going around saying jesse waters you said that horrible thing on fox fox better fire you or else i will take action as the government

That's exactly what Donald Trump and his regime are doing.

You could even look at Brendan Carr's own words and also where he went in the first place before all this Kimmel stuff, kind of all the entire fallout happened yesterday.

Brendan Carr went on Benny Johnson's podcast.

Yes, the guy who was funded by Russia to make content.

He went on Benny Johnson, a MAGA propagandist podcast to say that, and I directly quote,

we can do this the easy way or we can do this the hard way abc when i see all these trump stooges out there who go oh this is just the acts of a private company and the private company is doing what they want to do every time you say it brendan carr of the fcc and donald trump go no we did it it was us it was us i did it and i'm gonna come for more people they say it every time yet you still continue to deny it and

This idea of cancel culture that people have gotten so enraged about over the past few years, as I said, has come from everyday Americans.

People getting mad at somebody because they said something racist is much different than the FCC threatening a comedian over jokes that they did not like.

There's a massive distinction between those two things.

And by the way,

You also have the right, if somebody says, I don't like what XYZ celebrity did or said, and then say ABC goes, okay, there's been a lot of public pressure.

We, looking at our audience, we determine that we need to fire this individual.

That's all First Amendment activity happening.

That's how the First Amendment works.

By the way, you then on whatever other side of the aisle you are here, you have a right to then go ABC.
