“More Trust in Gas Station Sushi!” — FCC Chair Brendan Carr BLASTS Legacy Media, Colbert, and Dem Hopeful Talarico for FALSELY Claiming Trump’s FCC BLOCKED TV Interview Over Fears Talarico Could Flip Texas
FCC Chair Brendan Carr absolutely eviscerated the fake news peddlers who swallowed hook, line, and sinker a blatant hoax cooked up by late-night comedian Stephen Colbert and far-left Democrat Senate hopeful James Talarico.
Texas Democrat James Talarico apparently teamed up with late-night leftist Stephen Colbert to push a massive, embarrassing HOAX.
The ridiculous claim? That Donald Trump’s FCC supposedly “blocked” a TV interview because they were utterly “worried” Talarico might actually flip the deep-red state of Texas.
In January, The Gateway Pundit reported that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a crackdown on partisan talk shows in both daytime and late-night in an effort to provide equal treatment for political candidates.
FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said at the time, “For years, legacy TV networks assumed that their late night & daytime talk shows qualify as “bona fide news” programs – even when motivated by purely partisan political purposes.”
“Today, the FCC reminded them of their obligation to provide all candidates with equal opportunities.”
As a result of the rules, CBS chose not to air an interview between Late Night host Stephen Colbert and Texas Democrat Senate candidate James Talarico on the network.
The interview was instead moved to YouTube, and Colbert was not pleased.
In an effort to look like a free speech warrior, Colbert mentioned Talarico during the show and released a false statement:Colbert: You know who is not one of my guests tonight? That’s Texas State Representative James Talarico. He was supposed to be here, but we were told in no uncertain terms by our network’s lawyers—who called us directly—that we could not have him on the broadcast. Then I was told in some uncertain terms that not only could I not have him on, I could not mention not having him on.
And because my network clearly doesn’t want us to talk—let’s talk about this. This doesn’t just affect interviews. The rules forbid any candidate appearance, including by voice or picture. That’s right. I am absolutely not allowed to show a photo of Texas State Representative James Talarico.
Because that’s not him—that’s a stock photo we found when we Googled “not James Talarico.”
It was a couple of weeks ago, on Carr’s Orders, the SEC opened an investigation into ABC’s The View after their James Talarico interview. That is absolutely shocking. James Talarico did The View before my show?
So I cannot show you any form of James Talarico. I can’t interview James Talarico. I can’t show any pictures of James Talarico.
I’m not even sure I can say the words “James Talarico.” But what I can show you is what we always show when we have to pull material at the last minute: this tasteful nude of Brendan Carr.Talarico also posted a clip of the segment, further spreading the lie.
“This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see. His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert. Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas,” Talarico wrote on X that was viewed 12 million times.This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.
His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

— James Talarico (@jamestalarico) February 17, 2026Because of the lie, Talarico announced they raised up to $2.5 million in donations within 24 hours.
BREAKING: Our campaign raised $2.5 million in 24 hours after the FCC banned our Colbert interview. pic.twitter.com/g6v4gzGAhS
— James Talarico (@jamestalarico) February 18, 2026In response, CBS said in a statement:
“THE LATE SHOW was not prohibited by CBS from broadcasting the interview with Rep. James Talarico. The show was provided legal guidance that the broadcast could trigger the FCC equal-time rule for two other candidates, including Rep. Jasmine Crockett, and presented options for how the equal time for other candidates could be fulfilled. THE LATE SHOW decided to present the interview through its YouTube channel with on-air promotion on the broadcast rather than potentially providing the equal-time options.”
More from NBC News:In a seven-minute monologue, Colbert fired back, reading that statement, then adding: “Now, clearly, this statement was written by, and I’m guessing for, lawyers. Now, I’m not a lawyer, and I don’t want to tell them how to do their jobs, but since they seem intent on telling me how to do mine, here we go.”
Colbert went on to say he was aware they could book other guests and noted that Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, Talarico’s primary opponent for the Democratic nomination for the Senate race in Texas, had been on his show twice. He then noted he obeyed the network’s guidance and put the video on YouTube.
“But here’s where I do want to tell the lawyers how to do their jobs,” Colbert continued. “They know damn well that every word of my script last night was approved by CBS’ lawyers, who, for the record, approve every script that goes on the air, whether it’s about equal time or this image of frogs having sex. That’s a true story, but for another time.”
“Very specifically, and this is never, in fact, between the monologue I did last night and before I did the second act talking about this issue, I had to go backstage,” he said.
“I got called backstage to get more notes from these lawyers, something that had never, ever happened before, and they told us the language they wanted me to use to describe that equal time exception, and I used that language, so I don’t know what this is about,” Colbert said, gesturing toward the statement.
He went on to say he did not want to have an adversarial relationship with CBS, but added: “I’m just so surprised that this giant global corporation would not stand up to these bullies. Come on, you’re Paramount. No, no, no, you’re more than that. You’re Paramount Plus.”
Colbert then finished on a somber but humorous note.
“And for the lawyers to release this without even talking to me is really surprising. I don’t even know what to do with this crap,” Colbert said, before pulling out a bag and picking up the statement as if it were animal excrement.Chairman Carr just dropped the hammer on Colbert, Talarico, and the entire legacy media apparatus in a brutal, no-holds-barred takedown.
Speaking directly to the press, Carr completely humiliated the journalists who eagerly peddled the fake narrative, calling out the Democrat playbook for exactly what it is.
Carr absolutely eviscerated them:“You had a Democrat candidate who understood the way that the news media works. He took advantage of all of your prior conceptions to run a hoax, apparently for the purpose of raising money and getting clicks.
The news media played right into it. > I think yesterday was a perfect encapsulation of why the American people have more trust in gas station sushi than they do in the national news media.
This was very plainly an effort ginned up to get clicks and to raise money. You guys ate it up like slop. When it was pointed out that the facts were completely different than what the fake news media was running with, nobody did an about face and did a fact correction.
They just pivoted and moved away. Again, I think this is why the American people simply don’t trust the news media anymore.”WATCH:

Biden Judge Holds DOJ Lawyer in Civil Contempt Over Immigration Case, Fines Him $500 Per Day
A Minnesota-based federal judge on Wednesday held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt over an immigration case and fined him $500 per day for violating her order.
US District Judge Laura Provinzino, a Biden appointee, said the DOJ lawyer violated her orders in a habeas case related to the release of an ICE detainee’s papers.

‘It’s a Witch Hunt’: Mother of Woman Dead in Austria’s Highest Peak Defends Daughter’s Boyfriend Charged With Leaving Her To Die
Kerstin Gurtner died at peak Grossglockner. Many blamed his boyfriend, but not his mother.
A mother rejecting the lust for vengeance.
We have reported here on TGP about the tragic case of Thomas Plamberger and Kerstin Gurtner.
Experienced mountaineer Plamberger has been criminally charged for allegedly leaving his struggling girlfriend Gurtner to freeze to death on Austria’s highest peak of Grossglockner.
Welt reported:
“The Innsbruck public prosecutor’s office sees the case less as a tragic accident than a grossly negligent homicide – a crime that can be punished with a prison sentence of three years in Austria. The whole tour had been prepared and carried out amateurishly. On Thursday, the trial against the friend who left his girlfriend behind on the mountain begins.
According to the public prosecutor’s office, the couple set off at the foot of the mountain at around 6:45 a.m. The planned route was to lead up the Stüdlgrat, a challenging tour. For the investigators, the drama began at this point: Kerstin G. had never completed such an alpine high-altitude tour of this length, difficulty and altitude. The wintry conditions also made the tour more difficult. Despite these factors, Thomas P. did not use emergency bivouac equipment because he did not expect to need one.”But now, in a rather surprising turn of events, Gurtner’s mother has come out criticizing the ‘witch hunt’ against Plamberger.
The Telegraph reported:
“Thomas P, 39, was charged with grossly negligent homicide after Kerstin G, his 33-year-old girlfriend, died while they were hiking in the Austrian Alps on Jan 18 2025. However, Kerstin G’s mother criticized the allegations, saying it made her ‘angry’ that her daughter was being portrayed as a ‘naïve little thing’.”
“I think it’s unfair how Kerstin’s boyfriend is being treated. There’s a witch hunt against him in the media and online. The two of them always made their decisions together. Many people who blame Kerstin’s boyfriend have never been in such a situation. It’s easy to be a hero in the comfort of your own home.”
Kerstin collapsed from exhaustion just 150ft from the Grossglockner’s summit.
“Thomas P decided to leave her and climb back down the mountain to seek help. But in the six hours he was gone, Kerstin G died from extreme cold.
Since then, he has been accused of making a series of life-threatening errors during the trip and faces up to three years in prison if convicted.”

Grieving D.C. Grandmother Who Lost Son to Violent Crime TORCHES Democrats in a Powerful Speech: “Get Off the Man’s Back… Let Him Do His Job!”
The radical left has turned our nation’s capital into a dangerous, lawless warzone but the victims of their disastrous policies are finally fighting back.
At the East Room event celebrating the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, Forlesia Cook took the stage and electrified the audience with raw emotion and unfiltered truth.
She recounted years of marching and rallying for justice after her family’s tragedy, only to be met with silence, until President Trump sent his team to her home and brought real solutions like the National Guard.
Cook’s 22-year-old grandson, Marty William McMillan Jr., was brutally murdered in cold blood in 2017 after meeting someone online.
On April 23, 2017, he left home to meet a woman he connected with on the Plenty of Fish dating app. He never came back.
His remains were discovered months later on the side of a highway in Maryland, shot seven times and discarded like trash in the woods. It took until January 2018 for authorities to officially identify him.
Forlesia Cook absolutely torched the entire Democrat Party at President Donald Trump’s White House Black History Month celebration on Wednesday.Forlesia Cook: “I like him, too. One thing I like about [Trump]—he keeps it real, just like Grandma. I appreciate that because I can trust him, because he tells exactly how he feels and what he thinks. Thank God for this president.
I am filled—my cup runneth over—because he allowed his constituents, his people, to come to my house to interview me, to talk about the murder of my grandson. It seemed like nobody cared.
I’m an advocate for murder victims. I marched, I rallied, I pulled out other families in the District of Columbia that had murders and did not have answers.
Oh, we marched and rallied, and nobody heard me. Democrats get mad at me until this Republican sent his constituents, his people, out there to interview me in my home. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Then they invited me twice before Congress to testify for the beautiful bill.
That’s going to change crime in the district. If you kill somebody, okay—you take a life, you do life. Just that simple. If you do a harsh crime, you do harsh time. Just that simple. And then we need the National Guard, which we did years ago. He brought it on.
I love him. I don’t want to hear anything you have to say about that racist stuff. And don’t be looking at me on the news, hating on me because I’m standing up for somebody that deserves to be stood up for. Get off the man’s back. Let him do his job. He’s doing the right thing. Back up off of him. And Grandma said it.”WATCH:

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee Responds to Reports of Tucker Carlson Being Detained in Israel
Edited photo of Ambassador Mike Huckabee giving a speech via the U.S. Embassy
United States Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has responded to reports that conservative podcaster Tucker Carlson was detained in Israel.
In an exclusive report, The Daily Mail on Wednesday reported that Tucker Carlson was detained and interrogated by Israeli officials at Ben Gurion airport in Tel Aviv.
Tucker was in Israel to conduct an interview with former Presidential candidate and now U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.
Carlson reportedly told the outlet, “Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about.”
In response to the Daily Mail’s report, Governor Mike Huckabee released a statement on X and wrote, “EVERYONE who comes in/out of Israel (every country for that matter) has passports checked & routinely asked security questions.”
“Even ME going in/out with Diplomatic Passport & Diplomatic Visa,” added Huckabee.
LOOK:Thanks @EFischberger for a more accurate report. EVERYONE who comes in/out of Israel (every country for that matter) has passports checked & routinely asked security questions. Even ME going in/out with Diplomatic Passport & Diplomatic Visa. https://t.co/UbblLiznMO
— Ambassador Mike Huckabee (@GovMikeHuckabee) February 18, 2026Per The Daily Mail:
Conservative podcasting titan Tucker Carlson said he and his staff were detained in Israel on Wednesday following an interview with Donald Trump’s ambassador to the country. The former Fox News host flew into Tel Aviv for a sit-down with Mike Huckabee, who challenged Carlson to speak to him directly following an online spat about the country’s treatment of Christians.
Carlson, who also frequently criticizes Israel for its military actions in Gaza, took Huckabee up on his offer.But as critics and pro-Israel activists began piling on Carlson for purportedly not leaving the airport during his brief visit, he revealed that he was met with hostility in the Middle Eastern country.
Carlson exclusively told the Daily Mail that shortly after the interview, Israeli officials confiscated his passport and hauled one of his colleagues off to an interrogation room. ‘Men who identified themselves as airport security took our passports, hauled our executive producer into a side room and then demanded to know what we spoke to Ambassador Huckabee about,’ Carlson told the Daily Mail.
‘It was bizarre. We’re now out of the country.’
Tucker has yet to release a statement on the incident outside of what he reportedly told the Daily Mail.
However, he did post a photo of himself in Israel.Greetings from Israel. pic.twitter.com/1uBWvqBNST
