Amy Klobuchar Clashes With FCC Chair Brenden Carr; ‘What If Kimmel Said This, Not Trump?’

Senator Amy Klobuchar grilled FCC Chairman Brendan Carr during a Senate Commerce Committee oversight hearing over concerns about free speech, censorship and the role of the Federal Communications Commission. Klobuchar pressed Carr on his past comments about political satire — including remarks about Jimmy Kimmel — and whether it’s appropriate for the FCC to threaten broadcasters over content. She also raised alarms about President Trump’s recent executive order on AI safety standards and whether the FCC has the authority to preempt state laws on tech platforms. Watch.
