Upcoming Policy Event with FCC Chairman Brendan Carr
In March, Breitbart News is set to host a policy discussion featuring Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr, who has been at the forefront of pushing President Donald Trump’s regulatory agenda.
This discussion, occurring on Tuesday morning, March 10, 2026, in Washington, DC, will see Carr engage in a conversation with Matt Boyle, Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief. The event is organized in collaboration with CGCN and the ALFA Institute.
Carr has garnered support from various free speech advocates and critics of Big Tech for his commitment to reinstating the FCC’s integrity. His goal seems to be ensuring media companies adhere to the laws enforced by the commission.
Boyle remarked, “Chairman Brendan Carr has significantly transformed the FCC by strictly applying existing laws, even against traditional media outlets that sometimes overstep. It’s a refreshing stance to hold the left and elite globalists accountable.”
He also highlighted Carr’s unwavering determination, noting, “In a time when some may defend television figures who breach federal rules, Carr’s resolute approach to enforcing accountability is what makes this event noteworthy.”
Sam Geduldig from CGCN echoed this sentiment, stating that Breitbart’s policy discussions have become essential for key figures to share insights on Trump’s Washington.
“It’s an honor to host Chairman Brendan Carr in the Breitbart News Speaker Series,” he commented. “In a city filled with rehearsed discussions, our series emphasizes genuine dialogue on policy. That’s why prominent leaders continue to participate.”
Carr’s efforts have already compelled media organizations to adhere to regulations they had previously ignored.
Recently, CBS’s The Late Show with Stephen Colbert chose not to air an interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico, complying with rules that ensure equal airtime for candidates. Colbert’s decision to exclude Talarico’s Democratic primary opponent, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), resulted in him incorrectly blaming CBS for the cancellation.
Shortly thereafter, Carr demonstrated his commitment by threatening legal measures against ABC’s The View for broadcasting Talarico’s interview in defiance of the FCC’s warnings.
Appointed to the FCC by Trump in 2017, Carr quickly made a name for himself as an effective communicator and regulator. Following the 2024 election, Trump announced plans to nominate Carr as chairman, describing him as a “defender of free speech” who works against regulatory constraints that hinder economic growth and freedoms.
Trump stated, “Carr will terminate the regulatory hindrances burdening American entrepreneurs and ensure the FCC’s support extends to rural areas.”
Carr also gained attention for his tough stance on the Chinese Communist Party, advocating for actions to ban TikTok due to security and cultural concerns.
In a conversation with Breitbart News in March 2024, Carr remarked, “If TikTok were simply a platform for diverse opinions, that would be one thing. Yet, it has engaged in espionage, admitting to spying on a U.S. journalist reporting unfavorably about the platform. In these scenarios, the First Amendment does not shield the government from addressing a persistent national security threat.”
This event marks Breitbart’s second policy gathering in 2026, following a recent meeting with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick. Last year, similar events featured key figures such as Vice President J.D. Vance and several cabinet members.
