Brendan Carr

We're at a tipping point where these leagues can push it so far, putting games behind paywalls that they undermine their ability to claim that antitrust exemption.

In a statement, FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the country's broadcasters should use their national reach and ability to inform and entertain audiences by upping programming that highlights, quote, the historic accomplishments of this great nation from our founding through the Trump administration today.

Carr cited the song-filled animated kids' TV series Schoolhouse Rock, created in the 1970s in the run-up to the country's 200th anniversary, as a good example.

Carr's suggestions also include starting each day with the Star Spangled Banner or Pledge of Allegiance and airing works by such U.S.

composers as John Philip Sousa and Duke Ellington.

Thank you so much for having me on, and thank you for convincing me 15 years ago not to go to an Ivy League business school and to come work for you instead at your company.

It all worked out, Glenn.

It all worked out.

ivy league education maybe it would have been different for you because i mean you're you talk about it manufacturing delusion you know the tricks of indoctrination so maybe it would have been different from you yeah i i would hope that i could have continued to stay sane i mean look the the basis of this book the basic idea it comes out of the madness of of covid um but it's not a covid book it's okay everybody we know we read about these other places

We're familiar with mind control in the Soviet Union, with the Cultural Revolution in Maoist China and how insane that got, with the reality of North Korea today.

We know that that all exists and that all has happened.

But how is it that in this country, we basically collectively, not all of us, but as a country, went insane during COVID?

And I was like, well, if it's possible on that, you know, it's possible on other things, too.
