Here's Colbert's interview with Talarico, not on the Carr-controlled, Trump-tainted airwaves but in the free air of the internet. As I post this, 500k have watched. Let's make sure more people see it on YouTube than TV. Call that the Carr Effect.

@jeffjarvis This is so messed up! Colbert can’t even talk about censorship without being censored? That’s wild. Free speech matters!

Boosting this, but I'm voting for Crockett in the primary.

The Senate needs a smart black woman more than it needs a smart white man.

If Talarico wins, I'll be happy to vote for him in November.

@jeffjarvis it's astonishing. For now Colbert is moving part of his content to Youtube. But for how long? Once cable is sufficiently squeezed, surely the big tech platform companies will be next.

Good work, America. Colbert's Talarico interview just matched Colbert's average audience on dead CBS--2.4 million--and no doubt much better demographics. The Carr Effect at work in late night, making Kimmel and Colbert bigger than ever.

#jamestalarico #FCC #EqualTimeRule

His great interview was ⭕not allowed (by #CBS) to be on the TV airwaves, not even a REAL photo of #talarico

#Colbert was not even allowed to show a drawing of him, but Colbert broke with CBS legal dept and drew Snoopy's face/head 😀

#jasminecrockett is running against #jamestalarico

Yo‼️ run as a TEAM and turn #Texas blue

@JonChevreau
Thx 4 orig Jeff boost

An excellent interview, and a powerful message.

“There is nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism, it is the worship of power in the name of Christ, and a betrayal of Jesus of Nazareth”

@jeffjarvis his final words could have been "culture war is a smokescreen, it's a class war". Instead he went with "not left vs right but top vs bottom".
I think it is long overdue that American people start hearing the words and learn about it to break the stigma.

@jeffjarvis

it's a really good interview! Talarico seems very smart and genuine.
he also happens to be a seminarian who is fighting for separation of church and state. This is a great clip to share with family and friends who happen to be Christians.

"I've said it before, Don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people, and I'll tell you what you believe." -James Talarico
