Tim argues that Kimmel's suspension is a politically motivated hit job, tying it to FCC Chairman Carr's comments about revoking broadcast licenses and Trump threatening other late-night hosts.
- Tim argues that America is about people making money saying things you don't like, and citizens either turn it off, hate-watch it, or project their own beliefs onto the speaker.
- The FCC chairman told a podcaster they could revoke broadcast licenses 'the easy way or the hard way,' then pressured affiliates to drop the show because the host said something the president disliked.
- The president followed up by threatening late-night hosts, telling them 'you're next.'
