from The Late Show Pod Show with Stephen Colbert · host CBS

In this Pod Show exclusive BONUS episode, Stephen Colbert explains to his broadcast audience that a new directive from Brendan Carr’s FCC makes it next to impossible for CBS to air his interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico on CBS. Then hear what couldn't go on TV last night, and get the online-exclusive interview that touches on the issues raised in Talarico's campaign for the Democratic nomination for Senate including the separation of church and state, the dangers of consolidated corporate-owned media, and the fabricated culture wars pushed by Republicans in states like Texas.
