Correct, they refused to air it not out of fear of the FCC, but out of fear of that Texans might like what Talarico has to say.

That guy was super well spoken and had a good message. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of him before. Always nice to see the Streisand Effect in action!

If the link goes dark I've pulled copy, hit me up.

The joy of his Colbert Report is finally returning to him.

or you could donate to jasmine crockett. just sayin.

we need more black representation in dc.

Are you suggesting only agnostics should govern?

Talarico said in the interview he wants the separation of church and state to return as the current blend diminishes both.

Did you listen to his interview?

He states that his belief is that the separation of Church and State should 100% be protected. Not just to protect the government but to protect the religion, so it doesn't get taken advantage of by political movement like Christian Nationalists.

He mainly pushed love God and love your neighbor. If you loved your neighbor, then you wouldn't push your religion or any other belief on them.

I'm paraphrasing but that's what I got out of it. I think he's someone that could break through to some of the religious right.

I'm torn on this - Christianity (particularly evangelical christianity) has had an extremely negative effect on democracy in our country and has caused physical harm to others.

However, I think most people with a conscience subscribe to some form of philosophy or religion (even if atheists aren't "loyal" to any particular perspective and may not even use titles/categories to describe their value system) and I think it's fine for your morals/conscience to influence decision making. Even a purely scientific decision making process could be considered a form of philosophy.

That being said, most organized religion is about obedience to the tenets of said religion, not a method of asking questions about the world to try to find the most just way to proceed.

The US has been ChristoFascist for decades, banning stem cell research, stopping vaccines, every President has to attend some bullshit church, even the pedophiles.

i wouldn't have watched the interview if cbs hadn't cancelled it

Yep, and Colbert has no reason to pull any punches either. They already canceled his show to appease the administration. Why would Stephen hesitate to tell the world every time CBS bends the knee?

Good on him for calling out every time they act as state propaganda and not a news network.

Banning something is a sure fire way to give it oxygen.

Depends. Stephen says he was told not to tell anyone on air that they couldn't air it. Assuming that's true, and he had decided to comply, no one really would have known. It's only through his (presumed) bravery that we've all seen it.

Talerico. Brings his sincerity, faith, and working class background in in one of the poorest school districts in the country. He has integrity and and a way of invoking Christianity that I think resonates in Texas. He appeals to a broad swath of voters without compromising his progressive ideals.

I would vote for Crocket if she wasn't up against Talerico. But as is, I think he has a better shot at the general and I trust him more.

He's good at messaging from a Christian left perspective. Before I deleted social media, some of his more viral moments on the Texas House floor would make it to my feed. I liked what I heard, but I'm not a Texas resident or voter so Crockett vs Talarico is someone else's judgement call to make.

Talarico resonates with the deeply Christian left

It's the Orson Wells playbook. "See the movie that the Hersts dont want you to see!!"

Still brilliant either way.

I believe that communications/media broadcasting are under the technology umbrella.
