Texas Senate Candidate James Talarico (D) on Stephen Colbert Show Interview

[00:00:00] The 24 hours before this tour launch has [00:00:04] been something else. [00:00:06] Last night I filmed a interview with [00:00:10] Steven Cob Bear on the Late Show [00:00:13] [cheering] and [00:00:15] and as you probably know by now, Trump's [00:00:19] FCC colluded with corporate media [00:00:22] executives at CBS to keep that interview [00:00:25] off the air. [00:00:28] But I think it's safe to say that their [00:00:30] plan backfired. [cheering] [00:00:35] >> I think I think Donald Trump and his [00:00:38] billionaire friends know that we're [00:00:40] about to take back Texas. [00:00:43] [cheering] [00:00:44] And and these are the same people who [00:00:48] ran against cancel culture. And now [00:00:52] they're trying to control what we watch, [00:00:55] what we say, what we read. And this is [00:00:58] the most dangerous kind of cancel [00:01:00] culture, the kind that comes from the [00:01:02] top. They went after The View after I [00:01:05] went on there. They went after Jimmy [00:01:08] Kimmel for telling a joke they didn't [00:01:09] like. They went after Steven Colbear for [00:01:12] telling the truth about Paramount's [00:01:14] bribe to Donald Trump. Corporate media [00:01:17] executives are selling out the First [00:01:20] Amendment to curry favor with corrupt [00:01:23] politicians. A threat to any of our [00:01:26] First Amendment rights is a threat to [00:01:29] all of our First Amendment rights. [00:01:32] [cheering] [00:01:33] Whether [00:01:36] whether you're a Democrat or Republican, [00:01:39] whether you're conservative or [00:01:41] progressive, the real fight in this [00:01:43] country is not left versus right. It's [00:01:46] top versus bottom.
