Brendan Carr
đ€ SpeakerAppearances Over Time
Podcast Appearances
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.
Biden never said, go after the comedian who mocks me. It never happened. It just never happened. Then you have Senator Peters. Here's what he had to say in his cross-exam of Brendan Carr. Let's play it. I'm going to ask you just a simple yes or no question. Will you commit here today that you will not move to revoke any media license for broadcasters?
or retaliate in any way against broadcast companies merely for choosing to host content that is critical of the president or says something that he may not like. Yes or no? Very simple. Sir, any broadcaster that complies with the public interest standard is not in any risk at all. If a broadcaster is engaging in broadcast hoax or violation of news distortion policy or political equal opportunity policy,
There's going to be work for the FCC potentially there. So this should be a pretty easy question. Do you think the FCC should protect free speech? Yes. Okay. So you will not revoke licenses, so we can go back that you will do it? You won't revoke licenses or retaliate if they're simply engaging in free speech? First of all, the Supreme Court has expressly said
There is no First Amendment right to an FCC license. The Supreme Court has said that the FCC enforcing the public interest standard on licensees is not a violation of the First Amendment or censorship. And you get to determine what is the public interest. So if the president is offended, you think, wow, that's the public interest. No one...
Se tuntuu olevan koulutus koko maailmaa. Ihmiset ovat aina kriittisiÀ, enkÀ huolta, kuka presidentti on, demokraattinen vai republikaattinen. MeidÀn pitÀisi pystyÀ haastamaan heitÀ. HyvÀÀ demokraattia on se, ettÀ voit haastaa joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain joitain.
I'm talking about any president. If you have somebody as a comedian, you can use his example. Kimmel was not making fun of the president. What Kimmel said is we hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them. It appeared to be an effort to mischaracterize the motivations of one of the most significant political assassins. We also know that the president...
I don't want to make just the issue of the community, because it's broader than that. The public interest is a lot broader than that, and it shouldn't be you that determines that. In a democracy, people are free to say things that you may not like, I may not like. But that's why we always defend that. I'm running out of time here. I've got limited time here.
Sen jÀlkeen nÀemme Brendan Carrin tuntemuksia, kun Markki huomioi, ettÀ hÀn on puolustusministeriön puolustusministeriön puolustusministeriön puolustusministeriön puolustusministeriön puolustusministeriön puolustusministeriön puolustusministeriön
Especially your threats don't matter. So just to be clear, your position is that your mafia threats had nothing to do with Nexstar and Sinclair and Disney's decisions to preempt and suspend Kimmel. Is that your position? Is that your point, that you had nothing to do with the suspension of Kimmel?
Sen jÀlkeen, jos katsotaan tietoja, joita jokaisella yrityksellÀ on kÀsitellyt, esimerkiksi Nextarille, Sinclairelle tai Disneylle viime aikoina, niin he ovat tehneet nÀitÀ yritysten pÀÀtöksiÀ heidÀn omaansa. Rekordi on selkeÀ. Ja taas, sinÀ ei halua ottaa huolta itsesi. SinÀ intimidoitat yrityksiÀ, he tekevÀt sitÀ, mitÀ haluat, ja sitten sanot, ettÀ se oli heidÀn kanssaan. SinÀ olet puheenjohtaja Yhdysvallan kommunikaatiolla.
Ja kaverit, kun kaikki se oli tapahtunut,
TiedÀtkö, mitÀ Donald Trump tarkoittaa, hÀnen hallituksen hallituksen, jossa hÀnellÀ on kaikkia kuvia presidentteistÀ ja jollekin esim. presidentti Biden, hÀn kÀyttÀÀ autopennin. HÀn sanoo, ettÀ tÀmÀ on autopenni. TÀmÀ on nyt lopulta valmisteltu Yhdysvallalle. Haluan, ettÀ ajattelee tÀmÀn syvÀn hallituksen. Katsokaa, mitÀ Brendan Carr teki ja sanoi.
TÀssÀ on nyt White House-tapa. TÀmÀ on lopulta tapa. Ja se jatkuu jatkuvasti ja jatkuu jatkuvasti. Sitten kun se kertoo vanhemman presidentin Barack Obamaa,
It says, Barack Hussein Obama was the first black president, a community organizer and one of the most divisive political figures in American history. As president he passed the highly ineffective, unaffordable care act. This stuff is now officially attached to the White House. Former President Clinton, it says over here.
Se kertoo siitÀ, ettÀ hÀn valitsi NAFTA, jota Donald Trump lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta lopulta
But you're in charge now. He's affixing this to the White House while you have Brendan Carr, his censorship czar, in the White House. Anyway, let me know what you think. Hit subscribe. Let's get to six million.
Just so you know, Brendan, on your website, it just simply says, man, the FCC is independent.
