Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump's latest Epstein questions on Air Force One, as a growing list of right-wing media figures—from Shaun Ryan to Nick Fuentes and Dave Smith—turn on him and fracture MAGA unity. They analyze what that backlash means ahead of next week's Clinton hearing dates and the broader implications for Trump's coalition. Kander and Gupta also dive into the CBS decision to move James Talarico's Colbert interview online, the explosion of digital viewership, and the record-shattering ad spending in the Texas Senate primary. Plus, they discuss the GOP's new push for sweeping voting restrictions and what it signals for the future of American elections.

Chris Cuomo breaks down why CBS and Paramount blocked Stephen Colbert from broadcasting an interview with Texas State Rep. James Talarico and why the justification being floated about the “equal time” rule doesn't hold up. Cuomo walks through the history of the 1934 Communications Act, the Mayflower Doctrine, and the Fairness Doctrine to explain what the FCC actually regulates — and what it doesn't. He argues that CBS did not have to preempt the interview to comply with the law, and questions whether this move was about legal risk or political pressure. The deeper issue, Cuomo says, isn't just one guest or one late-night show. It's how corporate media, government influence, and outdated regulations intersect — and why social media platforms operate with fewer guardrails than broadcast ever did. More speech, not less, is the answer, but only if it's applied consistently.

Scott Galloway and Jessica Tarlov break down how censoring Colbert backfired on CBS — after Texas state Rep. James Talarico's scheduled appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert was abruptly pulled off the air. Is this corporate media caving to Trump-era pressure — and is Paramount the real loser? Then: the DOJ says it's done releasing the Epstein files — but reports suggest the public has seen just 2% of them. If that's true, who's still exposed, and why is the department claiming mission accomplished? Plus: a DHS funding showdown is underway in Congress. With ICE funding already secured, and public trust in government near historic lows, which party blinks first? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan takes on the growing problem of propaganda in America, from Stephen Colbert's clash with the FCC over equal-time rules to media framing in high-profile immigration cases and a former Trump prosecutor now running for Congress as a Democrat. Bryan explains how headlines shape public perception, why critical details often appear deep in articles most readers never reach, and how partisan incentives inside journalism fuel what he calls a century-old tradition of influence over information. He also offers three practical tools to spot bias and navigate the era of Fake News.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect Stephen Colbert and James Talarico apparently lying about why their interview was not aired on CBS, Zohran Mamdani threatening to soak all property owners in New York City with much higher taxes, and a House Republican sounding the alarm about how soon Social Security is going to implode.First, they follow up on Tuesday's martini about why Colbert's interview with Talarico did not air on CBS. Colbert and Talarico claim President Trump's FCC forced the network to spike the segment, but CBS officials now say they never suggested pulling the interview. Jim is fuming at Colbert and Talarico.Next, they turn to New York City, where New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is threatening massive property tax increases if state lawmakers refuse to approve higher taxes on “the rich” and corporations. Jim and Greg point out how painfully predictable this was despite Mamdani's "affordability" campaign.Finally, they spotlight Rep. David Schweikert's warning that Social Security will implode in less than seven years if no action is taken. Jim and Greg not only lament the lack of will in either party to address the problem, but they also remind us how much more solvent the program would be if we started investing some of Social Security in the markets 20 years ago when President George W. Bush was pushing for it.Please visit our great sponsors:Help protect your family with life insurance through Ethos.
