BREAKING: Trump’s FCC pushes Talarico Kimmel interview to YouTube, trampling the First Amendment. Sound familiar? It happened with Talarico and Colbert last February, which resulted in $2.5M in donations and millions of views. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/10/a...

Say goodby to all constitutional freedoms when fascism knocks at the door. And when a fascist rule is consolidated, you can count the days until your second amendment is taken away, not by democrats but republicans, because a militia endangering total rule and control? Nope, they will not have it.

The problem with the Colbert "equal time" rule was that it was a Primary. The equal time that they didn't give was Jasmine Crockett's. They boxed out the better candidate to help a bland white guy.

. "The United States is ranked 64th out of 180 countries in the... World Press Freedom Index, marking the nation's lowest ranking ever. Falling seven places from the previous year, the US remains in the index's "problematic" category." One of the poorest in the west. . bsky.app/profile/meid...

A big point in his leadership skills is in his adamant adherence to the separation of church and state. It's so happens that many perspectives, religious, philosophical, or just every day more align with his view. I predict a huge pushback, and I hope it is hearty but not violent 

A question for anyone who knows FCC regulations - Could Kimmel show YouTube clips of the Talarico interview during his show to skirt around Carr's threats? Could he get an actor to sub-in and read the transcript from the interview? Just spitballing here! I'm sure the YT video will get more 👀!

Are there any grounds for Kimmel to sue the FCC...? He's done Nothing Wrong...and they're making him look like a criminal. Like he's breaking some law and is a bad man. Using a government agency to slander, political targeting, first Ammendment stuff..? . Reputational harm...with financial hits..!

The FCC should not be involved in this, but of course we are no longer a democracy so the King gets what he wants. I hope being pushed to YouTube will get so millions of views, along with a windfall of donations!

Actually I'd say it's more Putin-ish. I was reading that after the Kursk disaster made Putin look bad the oligarchs bought all the stations then they were nationalized. We see how well that worked out for Russia.

It already is. They been deleting 100s of channels cause of some Azzwhole called 'notyoudvideos' who is copyright striking 1000s of videos hundreds of times for uttering negative criticism about anime.

I mean Paxton could go on Kimmel 🤷🏻‍♂️ All they have to do is offer equal time for the candidate & when the coward refuses they move on 😉 If he did, it would be worse than when the my pillow guy went on 🤣

During the time Talarico's interview was scheduled to run they should run a screen with a message saying the interview has been censored by the government (or similar wording).

Does that massive, moronic pile of orange guano not understand that every time he pulls this BS, viewership for those interviews he's trying to suppress goes through the roof? Is it airing against that GOP Blowfest in Dallas?

What does a DC bartender say when someone walks into their bar wearing a red cap make America great again; "sorry", the Trump con man pedophile rapist club is down the road on the hill; "you can't miss it", "Big White House", "it's the one with burned out Tesla trucks parked in the front lawn"!

Every American should reset their outrage/shock button with shit like this. My first reaction, no matter how much this happens is: "Why? What is so bad and worth censoring about a guest on a talk show? Why are you stifling people's 1st amendment rights?"

Sorry not sorry we the people are gonna need yall to stop bending the fuckin knee to fascists and stand the fuck up and tell these un-American assholes FUCK YOU and air it anyways they have ZERO authority outside constitutional authority.
