FCC threatens ABC as Trumps call for Kimmel's firing

Season 2026 Episode 88 | 6m 03s

The FCC is ramping up the pressure on ABC and Disney by threatening to strip broadcasters of their station licenses. The FCC says the review of the licenses is tied to Disney’s DEI initiatives, but it’s widely seen as retaliation in the ongoing battle between President Trump and ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Geoff Bennett discussed more with CNN media analyst Brian Stelter.
