Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Support for the show comes from Retool. Too many companies run critical operations on duct tape spreadsheets, Slack workflows, and whatever else they could cobble together.

Chapter 2: What are the details surrounding Prince Andrew's arrest?
So he said he would have done what Colbert said he would have done. And then also noted that the way he's trying to thinking about enforcing this equal time rule has not been done in forever. So he just admitted, calling it a hoax, and then admitted he was going to do exactly what they said he was going to do. Again, a moron. And he thought, this is like some story.
And I love Colbert, I think, is handling it beautifully. I don't think he's being too virtue signally, but it is definitely a nail in the coffin for broadcast television.
Yeah. But just to step back and try and understand the real dynamics and the shape of power here, because we've moved from a democracy and capitalism to an autocracy and kleptocracy, this is what's going on. The president has made it clear he will exercise his authority unilaterally and illegally, in my view, to decide who gets to acquire which companies.
And essentially, he has decided that, okay, if the Ellisons, who own Paramount and CBS, fly their partisan pro-Trump flag, I will figure out a way to get them Time Warner. And so they are very sensitive to trying to not offend him, placate him, do whatever he wants, regardless of the First Amendment. And the excuse they're using is the following.
The FCC's equal time rule is a federal law that requires broadcast stations to provide equivalent airtime to all legally qualified candidates for the same political office. That theoretically makes sense, right? Historically, though, the FCC has exempted many entertainment talk shows. And now they've decided to update this and they're selectively enforcing it.
And by the way, folks, curiously, FCC Chairman Carr has not yet attempted to apply these rules to any conservative talk shows.
He's sued—he's investigating The View just on ABC for having television come on.
The View and Colbert.
By the way, Colbert has had Jasmine Crockett on and has probably asked right-wing people.
