18 Feb 2026
Buck welcomed the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, to react to Stephen Colbert’s claims that the Trump administration pressured CBS over his interview with Democrat congressional candidate James Talarico. Carr says FCC had nothing to do with it, and that Colbert and Talarico invented a “hoax” to raise money for Talarico’s campaign. He also explained FCC broadcast Equal Time rules, the situation with ABC’s The View — and how the FCC is combatting spam calls.
