NBC gave Trump equal time on its network after Kamala Harris appeared on SNL, but Brendan Carr thinks government speech regulations are a good idea.

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr loves the idea of government speech regulations, and he especially loves the idea that he will be the one to impose them in a future Trump administration. That’s the short version. Here’s the slightly longer, dumber version: Kamala Harris made a cameo appearance on Saturday Night Live over the weekend, triggering an FCC broadcast TV policy known as the “equal time rule”.

In fact, we just did an entire Decoder episode about the increasing number of threats against broadcast TV networks from Trump and the GOP because it’s getting so weird. '“No program is more familiar with the equal time rule than SNL.”' Here, the system worked exactly as designed. Harris appeared on SNL, NBC told the Trump campaign, and then Trump appeared in a short video broadcast during a NASCAR race on NBC and again during Sunday Night Football, satisfying the equal time rule.
