Watch this if you can. I had it at 1.35 speed and that was about right. This is what every red state democrat should be like and be doing.
Warning: He's very Christian, but the good kind.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Eh I stopped watching when they brought up Jesus. It was kind of a boring normal late night interview, no?
Why might they be afraid of what an up-and-coming young Texas Democrat who pushes back on their co-opting of "Christian values" could potentially say? Gosh, what a mystery.
Interesting that the fcc decided to enforce this rule on this show but doesn’t for radio talk shows.
Selective enforcement. Watch, they’re coming for non-conservative podcasts next.
That would be extremely difficult.
Most of us don’t access podcasts through a publicly broadcast means, and similar regulations just don’t exist.
Won’t stop them, sure, but there’s no regulatory framework to even start on podcasts.
Un-fucking-real. Can't believe we're watching one of the largest democracies in the world implode at such ridiculous speed.
Mary Trump predicted that us democracy wouldn't survive his reelection. Look at where we got in just a year. If the midterms don't go well I worry that she's right.
If the U.S. adopted the same rules that the UK have regarding the media and election, we’d shut up a lot of people.
EDIT: To my understanding the media (primarily television) is barred from discussing elections on the day of an election.
I'd settle for a ban on polling while the polls are open.
