About this episode

Michael Popok discusses Trump's attempts to silence Jimmy Kimmel over a joke about Melania.

Popok explains how Trump is using his feckless FCC Chair Brendan Carr to try to extort ABC all over again to get Jimmy Kimmel off the air because Melania can't take an "age" joke. This just goes to show you that ABC should never have settled with Trump at the beginning of the Administration over ABC's interview with E Jean Carroll that brought up Trump's sex abuse jury verdict, because it only invited a future shakedown.
