And James Tallarico, I believe that's how you pronounce his last name.
Is that correct, Buck, so far as you can tell?
And he went on Stephen Colbert's show.
And CBS decided they would not air the interview because they were worried about conflicting with the equal time doctrine.
And the equal time doctrine, basically, as interpreted by our friend Brendan Carr, the FCC chairman who was on recently, he has said what I think is 100% true, which is if you're going to have these late night talk shows,
You can't fit into the exemption of news programming if you're only having one side on all the time.
There are no right-leaning guests on, for instance, Stephen Colbert's show.
And Stephen Colbert would never have the Republican nominee on his show.
And so as a result, CBS said, we're worried about violating the equal time doctrine.
We're not going to run this interview.
That was a decision that was made by CBS corporate.
Well, Stephen Colbert, whose show has been canceled, I believe it is scheduled to end in May, went on and teed off, and I believe this aired on his actual CBS program, him ripping his bosses at CBS Cut 26.
Okay, this is, I think, actually more interesting than Stephen Colbert is letting on.
And it's actually super interesting in general.
So he was only going to have James Tallarico on.
Now, James Tallarico is in a highly competitive Senate race against Jasmine Crockett.
But Jasmine Crockett has a 0% chance of being elected statewide from Texas.
I want to repeat this.
I think even Democrats are aware of this.
If Jasmine Crockett is the nominee, there is a zero percent chance that Republicans have to worry about the Democrat in that race at all.
