Stephen Colbert responds to CBS disputing his claims that he was barred from airing the James Talarico interview:

"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. Hold on."

He then picks it up with a dog poop bag.

Civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has passed away at the age of 84. My thoughts are with his family.

I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

Trump was credibly accused of sexual assault in the Epstein files. It's unclear what became of the DOJ's investigation.

The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious:

The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up.
