Let me tell you what will happen: Going down this road, there will come a time when a Democrat wins again, wins the White House.

He says, ‘We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way.’ And I got to say, that’s right out of ‘Goodfellas.’ That’s right out of a mafioso coming into a bar going, ‘nice bar you have here. It’d be a shame if something…

They will silence us, they will use this power, and they will use it ruthlessly. And that is dangerous.

It might feel good right now to threaten Jimmy Kimmel, yeah, but when it is used to silence every conservative in America, we will regret it.

I think it is unbelievably dangerous for government to put itself in the position of saying, ‘We’re going to decide what speech we like and what we don’t, and we’re going to threaten to take you off air if we don’t like what you’re saying.’

We will certainly engage in oversight of all the agencies within the committee’s jurisdiction.

Look, look, I like Brendan Carr. He’s a good guy. He’s the chairman of the FCC. I work closely with him. But what he said there is dangerous as hell.

I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said. I am thrilled that he was fired.

I hate what Jimmy Kimmel said, but we should not be in this business. We should denounce it.

And I gotta say, that’s right out of Goodfellas.

Going down this road, there will come a time when a Democrat wins again – wins the White House … they will silence us. They will use this power, and they will use it ruthlessly. And that is dangerous.
