Here's the interview that they weren't allowed to air. The Streisand Effect is strong here.

And it's not just the Colbert show. I'm deleting more and more and more media apps/accounts/etc. Pretty soon it will just be whatever comes up on Lemmy.

Unfortunately The Daily Show, The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart and Late Night with Colbert are all Larry Ellison productions so even though they may sound adversarial they're just helping to treat Trump like politics-as-usual in the US.
It really isn't though. This is an authoritarian coup. By the time the elections roll around it'll be too late to make them fair and democratic. The Media is one of the reasons why.
Here's his website, if you want to learn more about Talarico:

As a legislator, I’ve passed major legislation to fund our neighborhood schools, expand job opportunities for young adults, and lower the cost of child care, housing, and prescription drugs.
I’ve led the fight against the billionaire mega-donors that have rigged the system against working Texas families. And I’m the only member of the Texas Legislature who has never taken corporate PAC money.
Now, as those same billionaire mega-donors take over the federal government, we need more fighters in Washington who will take power back for working people.
Jasmine Crockett is alright, but the regime is clearly more frightened of Talarico. Sad that (I think) he's polling behind her.
Looks like the Streisand effect in full play: https://www.rawstory.com/james-talarico-2675277614/
Watch this if you can. I had it at 1.35 speed and that was about right. This is what every red state democrat should be like and be doing.
Had to bail on the neverending religion/god talk.
Dude, I get it, but he's the best kind of Christian for the red states. He wants a separation of church and state and fought for it. He tells everyone to love their neighbor no matter if they're LGBTQ+, another ethnic group or another religion. This is the best red state candidate there is.
Yep. He actually follows Christ. It's nice to see
Yeah, Talarico is an anti-christian nationalist Christian who actually believes and follows the actual teachings of Jesus...he's living proof that real Christians still exist and understand biblical teachings about liberal ideas. Jesus is too liberal for most pretend Christians, aka evangelicals. Evangelicals aren't actually Christian, because Christ's teachings are too liberal for their conservative hate and bigotry. They just usurped the religion to teach the hateful side of it. They use it and abuse it.
If he actually followed Christ he wouldn't be a millionaire but sure, he's way ahead of the curve as far as most American "Christians" are concerned
I hear you. And everyone else. And even agree. I just can't stand listening after a while. I had my own religious upbringing and I'm not happy about it. I appreciate everyone's comments here.
I support this guy and hope he does well, but anyone who is this religious, but also simultaneously smart and competent must have some dangerous psychothapy below the surface. Wait did I say I support him, hmm.
