FCC Chair Brendan Carr:

This is a very, very serious issue right now for Disney. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. These companies can find ways to take action on Kimmel or there is going to be additional work for the FCC ahead.

TV Tropes:

A Stock Phrase. The easy way is usually giving in, and the hard way usually involves some kind of violence or torment.

Carr is a cartoonish mob enforcer—and not even an original one.
