The Interview CBS Didn't Want on TV — And Why 85 Million People Watched It Anyway What was supposed to be a routine late-night interview turned into one of the biggest media controversies of 2026. In February, Stephen Colbert taped a 15-minute interview with James Talarico, a Texas state representative running for the U.S. Senate, for The Late Show . It never made it to air. That same night, Colbert told his live audience that CBS lawyers called the show and said the interview could not be broadcast. He was also reportedly told not to mention that it had been pulled — which he immediately did anyway. CBS pushed back, saying the show was only given "legal guidance" tied to FCC equal-time rules — not an outright ban. Under those rules, once a candidate appears on a broadcast station, competing candidates must be offered comparable airtime. Rather than fulfill those obligations, the show posted the interview on YouTube instead. Colbert publicly called the network's expla...

  Heavenly Father, I come before You at the beginning of this new month with a humble and thankful heart. Thank You for carrying me through the days I have already lived, for protecting me in ways I could not see, and for loving me even when I felt weak, tired, or uncertain. Every new month is a reminder that Your mercy is fresh and Your grace is enough for me. Lord, as I step into this new month, I surrender everything to You—my plans, my expectations, my worries, and my unanswered prayers. You know what I am facing. You know the silent battles I fight, the prayers I have prayed over and over again, and the tears I have cried in private. Nothing about my life is hidden from You. Father, I ask for  breakthrough . Break through every closed door that has kept me stuck. Break through confusion, delays, fear, and discouragement. Where I feel trapped, make a way. Where I feel weak, give me strength. Where I feel hopeless, restore my faith. I believe You are a God who moves mountai...

Thank You for carrying me through the days behind me and for allowing me to see this new beginning called January. I acknowledge that every breath I take, every opportunity I receive, and every blessing I hold comes from You alone.

  My beloved child, as this new year begins, I want you to pause and breathe. You made it here. Not by accident, not by your own strength alone, but because I carried you through days you thought you would not survive. There were moments you felt unseen, unheard, and overwhelmed, yet even then, I was near. I was working quietly in ways you could not recognize at the time. I know the nights you cried in silence and the questions you asked when answers did not come. I know the weight you carried while still showing up for others. None of it was wasted. Every delay, every closed door, every lesson was shaping your heart and preparing you for what is ahead. What felt like loss was often protection. What felt like waiting was growth. As you step into this new year, do not bring fear with you. Release the guilt, the regret, and the heavy expectations you placed on yourself. You do not have to figure everything out. You do not have to be perfect. All I ask is that you trust Me one step at...
