let's not abuse it let's not be biased about it but let's apply it in an even-handed way and that's what i'm doing now what democrats do when they get gavels is they weaponize it and we saw this at the fcc when the democrats were charged in the fcc during the biden years they went after fox broadcast tv station and threatened to not renew their license for programming they didn't like on fox news cable
which is not regulated by the FCC.
You had Democrats that pressured cable companies to drop Fox News and OAN and Newsmax, and that campaign worked.
You had senators on the Democrat side calling for the FCC to investigate Sinclair, a broadcaster, for news distortion because they were viewed as a conservative outlet.
And so Democrats actually weaponized.
Whenever Democrats get gavels again at the FCC, let me tell you something, they're going to weaponize
What we need to do is that when we're here, let's just apply the law.
Let's not weaponize it against Republicans or Democrats, but the law is on the books.
If people want to get together and go to Congress and say change the law, then they should do that.
But up until then, we're just going to do this in a fair, even-handed, and balanced way.
That's effectively right.
That's how the rule operates.
And again, the idea here is let's let individual people, voters get more information and they pick the winners of primaries and of generals.
Let's not have the media gatekeepers abuse their position of power, the position of public trust, of being on the airwaves.
to unfairly advantage one candidate or party over another so it's a leveling of the playing field it's about more speech not less but again people can go to congress and try to change it i would love for anybody who wants to make the fcc smaller or any government agency smaller um and well you're right well enough to know that you're the same and we're and we are doing it we're actually running you know the largest deregulatory
initiative in the agency's history we've gone through our big stack of code of federal regulations and we are deleting and deleting and deleting we're getting rid of hundreds of regulations at this point a lot of dead wood a lot of regulations we don't need on the broadcast side though again it's just it's a fundamentally different medium and on social media my position is very clear and continues to be we want wide open robust uninhibited debate um and that's what we want to see
But if you want to be on the unique medium of broadcast TV, you've got to comply with the rules of the road there.
Is the FCC an independent agency?
Senator, thanks for that question.
Yes or no is all we need, sir.
