Shitler: "They're licensed. They're not allowed to do that."

Trump: When you have a network and you have evening shows and all they do is hit Trumpâ€¦ Theyâ€™re licensed. Theyâ€™re not allowed to do that.

Networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc) are not. There are federal laws about this. Each legal broadcast station (not network) is individually licensed by the FCC. Think of the broadcast station and television or radio network relationship like an electrical substation that connects to a (centralized) national electrical network.

Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his asshole to talk? His whole abdomen would move up and down you dig farting out the words. It was unlike anything I ever heard ...

After a while the ass start talking on its own ...
