US Pres LIVE: Trump Says TV Networks Against Him ‘Maybe’ Should Lose
Their Licences | Jimmy Kimmel
In a heated press gaggle aboard Air Force One on September 18, 2025, during his return from a state visit to the UK, President Donald Trump doubled down on threats against media outlets critical of his administration. Speaking alongside British Prime Minister Keir Starmer earlier that day, Trump celebrated ABC’s indefinite suspension of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"—attributing it to Kimmel’s "bad ratings" and "horrible" comments about conservative figure Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier this week. Trump called Kimmel "not a talented person" and a "whack job," while falsely claiming that national TV networks require government licenses to operate. He suggested that broadcasters providing "97% negative" coverage of him "maybe" deserve to have those licenses revoked by FCC Chair Brendan Carr, whom he praised as a "patriot." The remarks have sparked outrage from free speech advocates, late-night hosts like Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers, and figures including Barack Obama, who decried the move as an assault on comedy and press freedom. This clip captures the full exchange amid escalating tensions over media regulation in Trump’s second term.
