There are some reports today as well that they are in Virginia trying to make another run at Comey this time for leaking information from Congress.

We'll see.

We'll see what happens there.

But like, it's embarrassing.

I mean, there's a right wing podcaster at the charge of the FBI.

Exactly.

I mean, let's not look down our nose at podcasters taking high level government positions just for the record.

I would say there are, I'm unlikely to get an appointment in any subsequent administration, but I would suggest that Secretary of State is quite low on the list.

That's really Tommy's job.

That's fair, fair enough.

Trump is also trying to take down Jimmy Kimmel again.

As we talked about on Tuesday's show, the White House is pretending to be big mad about a joke Kimmel made days before the Correspondents Center about Melania being an expectant widow.

The FCC has now launched an early review of all of ABC's broadcast licenses.

They said this was part of a longer-running anti-DEI investigation, but the context is pretty clear.

And the White House communication director did tweet that Kimmel is a, quote, shit human being and that ABC needs to fire him immediately and he should be shunned for the rest of his life.

Alex, what is going on here with the FCC?

Is this a real threat?

Yeah, I mean, I think in the end of the day, nothing bad is going to happen to ABC here, other than that, like you said, they're going to have to work a little harder to get a result they were going to get anyway.

But there is a chilling effect from this sort of action from the FCC.

It sends a message.
