Trump is Using Media Consolidation Like Mob Bosses Use Protection Rackets

John discusses Disney executives who are hopeful they can bring Jimmy Kimmel Live back to the airwaves but want a commitment from the host to “turn down the temperature” of his monologues and political humor. Which is of course, censorship. He also plays clips from FCC Chair Brendan Carr - bragging about his power to crush any broadcast political show he wants. Then, he talks with Richard Chew of WCPT in Chicago about Jimmy Kimmel, Charlie Kirk, and Trump's plans to send the National Guard to Chicago. Then finally, John welcomes back the 2 Taras to talk politics.
