BTLS | 8AM Mon. May 4 - Late-Night Jokes, Trump, and Why the FCC Probably Can’t Touch Them
Podcast: Bubba the Love Sponge® ShowRating: Explicit Published On: Mon May 04 2026
Description: *:first-child]:mt-0 [&_>*:last-child]:mb-0"> On this episode of the Bubba the Love Sponge® Show, the crew unloads on President Trump’s threats toward late‑night comedians, walking through why the First Amendment and decades of case law make it almost impossible to yank TV or radio licenses just because hosts roast the president. They dig into the old FCC fairness doctrine and how Reagan-era deregulation helped launch partisan talk radio superstars like Rush Limbaugh, then argue that instead of trying to weaponize regulators against comics, the president should be fixing wars and fuel prices while comedians keep doing what they do best: protected political jokes that are nowhere near obscenity or incitement.
