Brendan Carr

My job is to implement the law passed by Congress. And Congress has said that broadcast is fundamentally different, that there's a public interest standard. Do you think there are any conservative commentators or conservative comedians or conservative satirists that ever say anything offensive that you would consider investigating?

I'm not looking at things that are offensive or awful, to use your words. I'm looking at things that are consistent with our public interest rules and regulations. That's the full scope. And in what way... So I'm a little confused because it seems to me that in subsequent conversations, I forgot after Ted...

Ja John Thune ja Dave McCormack ja muut sanoivat, että tämä näyttää hieman paljon sinulle, puheenjohtaja. Että sinä menit ulos ja sanoit, että se oli vahvaa uutta. En tehnyt sitä. Tämä on vahvaa uutta. En tehdä sitä. En menetä Jimmy Kimmelin jälkeen. Ja nyt sanoit, että sinulla on periaatteellinen oikeus mennä Jimmy Kimmelin jälkeen. Ja minä kysyn, mikä se on? No, kaksi eri asiaa. Demokraatit aiemmin sanoivat, että me vahvistamme, että Jimmy Kimmelin lainsäädäntö ei ole vahvistettu. Se ei koskaan tapahtunut.

Se ei ollut mitään muuta kuin demokraattilaisen näkökulmasta. Se, mitä sanon, on se, että jokainen broadcaster, joka käyttää ääniä, joko radioa tai TViä, täytyy omistaa yksityiskohtaisuuteen. Lisenssejä eivät ole vihreämpiä. Kyllä, voit tehdä asioita, jotta voit pysyä lisenssejä. Mutta jos haluamme muuttaa sen, sen täytyy tehdä kongressiin. Yksi idea on, miksi emme laittaa kaikki broadcaster-tv-lisenssejä auki.

If people want to buy them without the public interest obligation, they can do that. But look, there was a bargain here. You're kind of tiptoeing through the tulips here, right? Because what you actually said is, they have a license granted by us at the FCC that comes with an obligation to operate in the public interest. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct and take action, frankly, on Kimmel, on Kimmel,

or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead. Chairman, my final comment is I have actually enjoyed our relationship. I have praised you behind your back as a solid, someone I disagree with, but solid, knowledgeable person. This stuff, at least up until the last year, has been out of character, and it will not age well. And it will not age well on the conservative side of the aisle and the liberal side of the aisle. This is not American FCC behavior.

Ja toivon, että voimme rekalibroida. Haluaisin ymmärtää, oliko sinulla ongelma, kun Marki kertoi SZT, että tutustuisi Sinclaireille? Oliko sillä jotain ongelmaa? Voin antaa tämän, koska olin vaikea sinulle. Olet kysynyt minulle kysymyksen. Se on ensimmäinen kertomus, jossa olen vastannut kysymykseen yksilöstä. En onnistunut kirjoittamaan sen.

It's called the Holiday Credit Dip, and it hits millions of people every year, and most don't see it coming. The holidays roll in, you swipe your credit card a few extra times, your balance goes up, and your credit score drops. That's where Smart Credit comes in. Smart Credit helps you stop the dip before it happens.

And you have Democratic Senator Marky grilling Brandon Carr about whether he regrets his tweet about Jimmy Kimmel. Here, play this clip.

Chairman Carr, you are not reinvigorating the public interest standard. You are weaponizing the public interest standard. That is what the Carr FCC is doing every single day. Behind me are your past tweets declaring your commitment to the First Amendment.

You even defended political satire, saying in 2022 it challenges those in power. And that's why people in influential positions have always targeted it for censorship. That's why your threats against ABC and Disney over Jimmy Kimmel's political monologue were so outrageous. And here's what you said.

In September of 2025, as the chairman of the FCC, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to change conduct or take action, frankly, on Kimmel, or there's going to be additional work for the FCC ahead. Now, that statement was roundly condemned across the political spectrum. Chairman Cruz called it dangerous as hell. Chairman Carr, do you regret making that statement, yes or no?

Sena Markki, kiitos kysymyksestäni. Minun tehtäväni on edistää lainsäädäntöä, joka sisältyy järjestelmään, joka sisältyy järjestelmään, joka sisältyy järjestelmään, joka sisältyy järjestelmään.

My job is to enforce the law. So you don't regret making that statement. Well, that's a refusal to take accountability for your language, for your use, your abuse of power. You will not say that you made a mistake.

Esimerkiksi demokraattinen senaattori Klobuchar menee tehtäväksi käsitellään Brendan Carr ja hän osoittaa, että onko se mielenkiintoista, että ainoa netto, jota et käsittele nyt, on Fox? Eikö se ole oikein? Katsotaan.

Yes, Senator. And whenever that satire or any other programming is over the public airways for broadcasters, there's a public interest standard, and there's a news distortion rule, a broadcast hoax rule. You answered it, yes. I'm going to go on. That particular instance, too, had to do with speech on social media, where Biden administrations were trying to shut down political speech. Again, an area where there is no license, there's no public interest.

I don't know if that's true or not. We do have investigations going on NPR and PBS. We have a number of investigations that are ongoing. I think if you step back over the years, I think the FCC has walked away from enforcing the public interest standard, and I don't think that's a good thing. Okay, you brought up social media. So do you think it's appropriate for after a horrific murder and the stabbing?

They are cruel. I think they hurt President Trump to say that kind of thing. I think it hurts him with trust in the American people. But this is the kind of stuff that's going on right now. And yet you are going after broadcast stations. More of this exchange between Brendan Carr and Democratic Senator Klobuchar. Here, play this clip. Broadcast TV is fundamentally different than any other forms of media, whether it's cable or podcast or soapbox or man on the street. There's a public trustee model that Congress has set up.

When it comes to AI in particular, there's an executive order. It asks the FCC to initiate a proceeding. We're going to initiate a proceeding. We're open-minded on where that goes. But look, if you want to step back and talk about weaponization, we saw that for four years in the Biden mission. Joe Biden is no longer president. You are head of the FCC, and Donald Trump is president, and I'm trying to deal with this right now. They always go back to, well, Biden's not the president, and Biden didn't do this stuff.
