[00:00:00] Every day on the Steven Cobear show is [00:00:02] basically an ad for some Democrat or [00:00:04] other. It is just MS Now but with some [00:00:07] bad jokes. Steven Colbear is very upset [00:00:10] because CBS [00:00:11] he did an interview with James Telerico [00:00:14] on CBS and James Telerico is the [00:00:17] probable Senate nominee for the [00:00:19] Democrats in Texas. According to the [00:00:22] Kelshi market, 75% of people in that [00:00:26] Kali market believe the Telerico will be [00:00:27] the nominee, not Jasmine Crockett. [00:00:29] Telerico has been highly touted by a [00:00:32] wide variety of people on the political [00:00:33] spectrum, including, of course, Joe [00:00:34] Rogan, whose show he appeared on. [00:00:37] And CBS spiked the interview. And the [00:00:40] reason that they spiked the interview is [00:00:42] because they're afraid of the so-called [00:00:43] equal time rule because the FCC says [00:00:47] that particularly if you are in a Senate [00:00:49] primary, for example, that if you [00:00:51] provide time to one candidate, you also [00:00:54] have to provide time to the other [00:00:56] candidate, equal time to the other [00:00:58] candidate. And CBS said, "We don't want [00:00:59] to provide equal time to say Jasmine [00:01:00] Crockett or some other fringe candidate, [00:01:03] so we're not going to air the [00:01:04] interview." Well, Coar then went on the [00:01:06] air and ripped into CBS. At this point, [00:01:08] Colbear is just he is hoping that he is [00:01:11] fired. He wants to be fired. Again, his [00:01:14] contract will come to its terminus. That [00:01:17] has already been declared, but he wants [00:01:18] to be fired so that he can be treated as [00:01:20] a victim, as a victim of the Trump [00:01:22] administration and their evil acolytes [00:01:25] like Larry and David Ellison. That that [00:01:26] that is his goal. He is actively [00:01:29] attempting to militate for his own [00:01:31] dismissal. That is what he is doing [00:01:33] right now. So, he goes on the air after [00:01:35] this interview is spiked, and it was [00:01:36] spiked, as we will explore in a moment, [00:01:38] for a fairly decent legal reason, and he [00:01:41] proceeds to rip into CBS. And by the [00:01:42] way, CBS allows this to air. [00:01:46] You you you might have heard of this [00:01:47] thing called the equal time rule, okay? [00:01:49] It's an old FCC rule that applies only [00:01:51] to radio and broadcast television, not [00:01:53] cable or streaming, that says if a show [00:01:56] has a candidate on during an election, [00:01:58] they have to have all that candidates's [00:01:59] opponents on as well. It's the FCC's [00:02:02] most timehonored rule right after no [00:02:04] nipples at the Super Bowl. [00:02:08] There's there's long been an exception [00:02:10] for this rule. An exception for news [00:02:13] interviews and talk show interviews with [00:02:16] politicians. Now, that's crucial. How [00:02:18] else were voters supposed to know back [00:02:20] in '92 that Bill Clinton sucked at [00:02:22] saxophone? [00:02:24] But on January 21st of this year, a [00:02:27] letter was released by FCC chairman and [00:02:30] smug bowling pin Brendan Carr. [00:02:33] In this letter, Carr said he was [00:02:35] thinking about dropping the exception [00:02:36] for talk shows because he said some of [00:02:38] them were motivated by partisan [00:02:41] purposes. Well, sir, you're chairman of [00:02:44] the FCC. So, FCCU. [00:02:49] Okay. So, by the way, Brennan Carr is [00:02:51] right. Steven Clar obviously is [00:02:53] motivated by partisan purposes. When was [00:02:55] the last time he had on a major [00:02:56] Republican guest? [00:02:59] When can you name it truly? When has he [00:03:02] invited on a major Republican guest or [00:03:05] and treated that person by the way if he [00:03:07] did with the same sort of kid gloves [00:03:09] with which he treats Democrats? Every [00:03:10] day on the Steven Colbear show is [00:03:12] basically an ad for some Democrat or [00:03:14] other. It is just MS Now but with some [00:03:18] bad jokes. [00:03:20] Well, CBS responded by saying the late [00:03:23] show was not prohibited by CBS from [00:03:25] broadcasting the interview with [00:03:26] Representative James Terico. The show [00:03:28] was provided legal guidance that the [00:03:29] broadcast could trigger the FCC equal [00:03:31] time rule for two other candidates, [00:03:33] including Representative Jasmine [00:03:34] Crockett, and presented options for how [00:03:36] the equal time for other candidates [00:03:37] could be fulfilled. The Wade Show [00:03:39] decided to present the interview through [00:03:40] its YouTube channel with on air [00:03:42] promotion on the broadcast rather than [00:03:43] potentially providing the equal time [00:03:45] options. [00:03:46] So, first Cole Bar and team sort of [00:03:49] tried to retell the lie that they would [00:03:52] not allow that the FCC had overtly [00:03:55] banned CBS from airing the interview. [00:03:57] That is not true. Then he tried to [00:03:58] retail the lie that CBS banned the [00:04:00] interview with Terico because what they [00:04:02] were afraid of Terico and they they were [00:04:03] saying that if he aired it with Terico [00:04:05] then presumably he would also have to [00:04:06] have on a Republican like a John Cornin [00:04:08] or a Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate [00:04:10] race. That is not what the equal time [00:04:11] rule says. They're in the middle of a [00:04:13] primary season. he would have had to had [00:04:14] on another Democrat, Representative [00:04:16] Jasmine Crockett. And the late show [00:04:18] itself, like the producers, decided not [00:04:21] to promote that interview on the air [00:04:22] because then they would have to do the [00:04:24] same for other Democrats. [00:04:26] For what it's worth, for what it's [00:04:28] worth, Telerico is basically just [00:04:31] straight Pete Buddha Judge. That is his [00:04:33] entiretick down to the Pastor Pete [00:04:36] routine. So, one of the most irritating [00:04:37] facets of the Pete Buddha Judge for [00:04:40] President campaign, if you can remember [00:04:41] back that far since every day in [00:04:42] American politics is now charted in dog [00:04:45] years, if you remember the Pete Buddha [00:04:46] Judge presidential run, the thing that [00:04:48] irritated me most is when he would cite [00:04:50] the Bible to say completely non-biblical [00:04:52] things, where he would suddenly turn [00:04:55] into your world's worst Sunday school [00:04:57] teacher, explaining to you that the [00:04:59] Bible has nothing to say about issues [00:05:01] ranging from same-sex marriage to [00:05:02] abortion, and that basically it's just a [00:05:04] social justice document drafted by the [00:05:06] Democratic National Committee. Well, now [00:05:08] James Terico is doing the same exact [00:05:10] thing. He's out there claiming that [00:05:12] you're a bad Christian if you believe [00:05:13] that, for example, samesex marriage is [00:05:16] non-biblical. For the record, samesex [00:05:18] marriage is non-biblical. There are many [00:05:21] books of the Bible that reference this, [00:05:23] not least of which is Leviticus. [00:05:25] But here is James Tallerico trying to do [00:05:28] the past repeat routine. [00:05:30] >> Jesus gave us two commandments, love God [00:05:33] and love neighbor. And there was no [00:05:36] exception to that second commandment. [00:05:38] Love thy neighbor regardless of race or [00:05:40] gender or sexual orientation or [00:05:43] immigration status or religious [00:05:44] affiliation. And it's why I have fought [00:05:48] so hard for the separation of church and [00:05:49] state in the state capital in Texas. [00:05:54] I'm sorry. When Democrats try to retail [00:05:56] their own religiosity on the basis of [00:05:58] Jesus apparently was a post-religious [00:06:01] figure who is in favor of secular [00:06:03] humanism. I may not be a New Testament [00:06:05] expert, but it seems to me that Jesus [00:06:09] was in his human form a Jew growing up [00:06:13] under biblical law and that Jesus then [00:06:16] as the creator of Christianity proceeded [00:06:20] to suggest that people ought to follow [00:06:22] the precepts of Christianity rather [00:06:24] exclusively. [00:06:25] I feel it's a rather non-controversial [00:06:27] take on the Bible. [00:06:29] But the stick that Democrats do where [00:06:30] they have they can't just say, "Listen, [00:06:32] they don't do the old school Bill [00:06:33] Clinton routine." It's amazing how far [00:06:35] Democrats have moved in my lifetime. [00:06:36] Democrats used to do this routine where [00:06:38] they would say, "Sure, the Bible says [00:06:39] that abortion is bad, that Christianity [00:06:42] says abortion is bad." Long-standing [00:06:43] several thousand years old doctrine that [00:06:45] abortion is not a good and that samesex [00:06:48] marriage is not a thing, and that [00:06:50] homosexual activity is a sin. Right? [00:06:52] Like, these are long-standing religious [00:06:53] traditions. But we have separation of [00:06:56] church and state. And so in terms of [00:06:58] public policy, I don't make public [00:06:59] policy on the basis of biblical law [00:07:01] because this is not a theocracy. That [00:07:02] used to be the democratic stance, [00:07:05] which I think is weak when it comes to [00:07:07] trying to make peace with Christians, [00:07:09] but at least is arguable. You know, [00:07:12] Spikeley, if he is going to, you know, [00:07:14] spend his time critiquing other [00:07:15] countries, maybe he should spend some [00:07:17] time in some of the worst parts of the [00:07:18] world so he could be a little bit more [00:07:19] grateful for Western civilization. But [00:07:21] while he's traveling to those terrible [00:07:23] parts of the world, perhaps he should [00:07:24] protect his internet activity the way [00:07:26] you should when you travel with, you [00:07:28] know what I'm going to say? ExpressVPN. [00:07:30] See, here's the thing. When you go all [00:07:32] over the world, you actually don't know [00:07:33] who's on your network. If the Wi-Fi is [00:07:35] secure, if the government is watching [00:07:36] your data, that's why I take privacy [00:07:38] seriously and why I use our sponsor, [00:07:39] ExpressVPN. It's fast, it's reliable, it [00:07:41] keeps my information safe. ExpressVPN is [00:07:44] the app I trust to protect my privacy [00:07:45] online. Period. It reroutes your [00:07:47] internet connection so nobody, not your [00:07:49] Wi-Fi admin, not your service provider, [00:07:50] not even government agencies can spy on [00:07:52] what it is that you are doing. [00:07:54] Obviously, I travel a lot. When I'm out [00:07:56] of town, I have to use public Wi-Fi. I'm [00:07:57] using like hotel Wi-Fi and I don't know [00:07:59] who's on that network. So, I'm using [00:08:00] ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN encrypts 100% of [00:08:03] your data, your login, credit cards, all [00:08:05] of it. So, hackers are completely out of [00:08:06] luck. And here's the thing, it is the [00:08:07] only VPN that I actually recommend cuz I [00:08:10] use it. It's ranked number one by the [00:08:11] Virgin CNET. You can use it on up to 14 [00:08:13] devices at once. That means your whole [00:08:15] family is protected. Right now, you can [00:08:17] get ExpressVPN for just $3.49 a month. [00:08:19] That's less than 12 cents a day. And my [00:08:21] listeners can get an additional four [00:08:22] months of service when you use my link [00:08:24] at expressvpn.com/ben. [00:08:26] That's ex psvpn.com/ben [00:08:29] for four additional months of service [00:08:30] with ExpressVPN. The new Democratic [00:08:32] stand is that the Bible is somehow a [00:08:35] document that greenlights samesex [00:08:37] marriage and encourages abortion and [00:08:40] that if you truly were a Christian, you [00:08:42] would you would be in favor of all these [00:08:43] things. When when Taller Rico says love [00:08:45] thy neighbor means love thy neighbor [00:08:46] regardless of immigration status or [00:08:48] sexual orientation. [00:08:50] What what when the Bible says that what [00:08:52] it means that you are supposed to love [00:08:54] thy neighbor as thyself but you are not [00:08:56] supposed to love his sin. In fact you [00:08:59] are not supposed to place a stumbling [00:09:01] block in front of the blind. Another [00:09:02] biblical injunction which is commonly [00:09:05] presumed to mean that you are not [00:09:07] supposed to allow your neighbor to go [00:09:09] without redress if he is sinning. You're [00:09:11] supposed to warn him. That is a biblical [00:09:13] injunction to warn your neighbor if he [00:09:15] is sinning. [00:09:17] But again, it's all about the virtue [00:09:19] signaling for the Democrats. And so, [00:09:20] back to CBS again, what what's happening [00:09:22] at CBS right now is an attempt to [00:09:25] basically scuttle the ownership change [00:09:27] at CBS and also to go after Barry Weiss [00:09:29] at CBS News. It is all a virtue [00:09:31] signaling point. It has nothing to do [00:09:33] with reality. [00:09:35] Democratic lawmakers, for their part, [00:09:36] are suggesting they're now going to [00:09:38] investigate CBS [00:09:43] Representative Darren Sodto of Florida [00:09:44] accused Brennan Carr of blocking [00:09:46] Democratic candidates as part of his [00:09:47] reign on unlawful censorship, vowing, a [00:09:50] reckoning is coming and including an [00:09:51] investigation of this outrage by [00:09:53] Democrats on the House Energy and [00:09:55] Commerce Committee. Ooh, the vaunted [00:09:57] House Energy and Commerce Committee. An [00:09:59] investigation, [00:10:01] by the way, just shows you what [00:10:02] Democrats are going to do with Congress [00:10:03] if they happen to win in 2026, which is [00:10:05] shut everything down. I mean, basically, [00:10:06] it's going to be investigations out the [00:10:08] wazoo. Nothing will happen ever again. [00:10:10] Meanwhile, Anderson Cooper is doing the [00:10:11] same routine. So, he is leaving at 60 [00:10:13] Minutes. He actually was given an offer [00:10:15] by CBS News to remain, but apparently he [00:10:18] is turning that down. You would assume [00:10:21] the reason he's turning that down is [00:10:23] sort of a soft slap at Barry Weiss and [00:10:25] her takeover of CBS News. [00:10:30] He put out a statement, quote, "Being a [00:10:31] correspondent at 60 Minutes has been one [00:10:33] of the highlights of my career. I got to [00:10:34] tell amazing stories and work with some [00:10:36] of the best producers, editors, and [00:10:37] camera crews in the business. For nearly [00:10:39] 20 years, I've been able to balance my [00:10:40] jobs at CNN and CBS. But I have little [00:10:42] kids now, and I want to spend as much [00:10:43] time with them as possible while they [00:10:45] want to spend time with me. So, I I [00:10:47] imagine that sometime in the near [00:10:49] future, he will come out with his [00:10:50] ringing critique of Barry Weiss and and [00:10:54] the Ellison's. And it is all about the [00:10:56] virtue signaling for the Democrats. It [00:10:57] is not about reality. [00:10:59] >> Hey Ben, can you do another read for the [00:11:01] Ben Shapiro clips channel [00:11:02] >> again? No, I'm done for the day. I'm out [00:11:06] of it.
