NBC filed an Equal Time notice with the Federal Communications
Commission on Sunday night for Vice President Harris' appearance on
"Saturday Night Live," per the FCC chief.

Why it matters: FCC commissioner Brendan Carr said on X that Harris'
appearance on "SNL" Saturday alongside her on-screen doppelgänger, Maya
Rudolph, was a "clear and blatant effort to evade" the rule that's
designed to "avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct."

Context: FCC program guidelines state that equal opportunities during
elections generally mean "providing comparable time and placement to
opposing candidates."

It "does not require a station to provide opposing candidates with
programs identical to the initiating candidate," according to the FCC.
The intrigue: NBC aired a short video message from Harris' 2024 rival
former President Trump during a NASCAR broadcast just after a playoff
race ended.

Trump said during the message that Harris would cause a "depression" as
he urged people to "go and vote," per the Hollywood Reporter, which
reported that ad was aired due to the Democratic presidential
candidate's appearance.
Between the lines: Harris appeared for one minute and 30 seconds,
according to NBC's filing.

Under the Equal Time rule, Trump could ask for the same amount of
airtime.
Zoom in: NBC also filed an Equal Time notice for Hillary Clinton's 2016
running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who appeared in a sketch on "SNL"
after the cold open with Harris, per Carr.

Representatives for NBC did not immediately respond to Axios' request
for comment in the evening.

NBC has already given Trump more time than any president, presidential
candidate or wannabe president in history.

PHOENIX –David Michael Hanson, 41, of Phoenix, was arrested on Wednesday
for making online threats against the President and Vice-President.
Hanson was charged by Federal criminal complaint on Tuesday with five
counts of Threats Against the President and Successors to the Presidency
and five counts of Interstate Communication of Threats.

The complaint alleges that in November and December of 2023, while
living in Arizona, Hanson used a social media platform to post threats
to murder the President and Vice President of the United States. On
November 19, 2023, Hanson posted online a series of threatening
statements including one that stated, “#joeAndKamala I’m asking you to
resign on Monday your alternative is death brutally murdered.” After the
U.S. Secret Service spoke to Hanson and warned him that it was a Federal
crime to post such threats, on December 23, 2023, Hanson posted another
series of similar threats aimed at the President and Vice-President.

Each count of Threats Against the President and Successors to the
Presidency carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of
up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. Each count
of Interstate Communication of Threats carries a maximum sentence of
five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of
supervised release.

A complaint is simply a method by which a person is charged with
criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is
presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes
guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The United States Secret Service is conducting the investigation in this
case. The United States Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is
handling the prosecution.

Laws are for the little people.
Vote for Trump. He's a man of the law. Why if you listen to him, he's
practically a crime fighting super hero like Batman.
Just don't ask any questions because he'll plead the 5th.
That would be Harris...."BUT TRUMP"

NBC filed an Equal Time notice with the Federal Communications
Commission on Sunday night for Vice President Harris' appearance on
"Saturday Night Live," per the FCC chief.
Why it matters: FCC commissioner Brendan Carr said on X that Harris'
appearance on "SNL" Saturday alongside her on-screen doppelgänger, Maya
Rudolph, was a "clear and blatant effort to evade" the rule that's
designed to "avoid exactly this type of biased and partisan conduct."
Context: FCC program guidelines state that equal opportunities during
elections generally mean "providing comparable time and placement to
opposing candidates."
It "does not require a station to provide opposing candidates with
programs identical to the initiating candidate," according to the FCC.
The intrigue: NBC aired a short video message from Harris' 2024 rival
former President Trump during a NASCAR broadcast just after a playoff
race ended.
Trump said during the message that Harris would cause a "depression" as
he urged people to "go and vote," per the Hollywood Reporter, which
reported that ad was aired due to the Democratic presidential
candidate's appearance.
Between the lines: Harris appeared for one minute and 30 seconds,
according to NBC's filing.
Under the Equal Time rule, Trump could ask for the same amount of
airtime.
Zoom in: NBC also filed an Equal Time notice for Hillary Clinton's 2016
running mate Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.), who appeared in a sketch on "SNL"
after the cold open with Harris, per Carr.
Representatives for NBC did not immediately respond to Axios' request
for comment in the evening.
