My apologies to Wesley Hunt.

Trying to name three right off the top of my head.

All three of them are seriously contending.

And whoever wins that Republican primary will likely be the next Republican senator from Iowa.

Texas or the continuing Republican senator from Texas.

So Wesley Hunt, John Cornyn, and also Ken Paxton all running on the Republican side.

Now, on the Democrat side, this has turned into a bit of a story today, Buck.

Democrat Senate candidates Jasmine Crockett, who has given up her congressional seat and is instead now running to be the senator from Texas,

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.
