Colbert says he was “silenced.”

Reality: CBS lawyers reminded him the FCC equal-time rule exists — and he didn’t want to give the other Democrat equal airtime.

So instead of booking other candidates, he kicked the interview online and cried censorship.

This wasn’t Trump.

It wasn’t the FCC storming the studio.

It was a late-night host trying to tilt a primary on broadcast TV — and getting boxed in by the rulebook.

Josh Holmes, Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan, and John Ashbrook break down the spin, the fundraising play, and the Democrat-media machine that treats late night like a campaign arm.

In this episode:• The Equal Time rule Colbert pretends doesn’t apply• Why CBS lawyers stepped in• How a “banned interview” turns into a multi-million dollar outrage haul• The real reason Jasmine Crockett didn’t get the same invite PLUS — we actually believe in equal time.

Featured Interview: Coach Dooley, candidate for U.S. Senate in Georgia 🇺🇸• Why he’s running• What makes this Georgia race critical• How Republican primaries are shaping up nationwide• What voters in Georgia are really focused on.

Then it’s King of the Hill chaos — Bill Kristol vs. Steve Schmidt — because no episode is complete without a little courtroom carnage.

Question of the Day: Should CBS pull Colbert off air for turning his show into a Democrat campaign shop?
