If CBS is censuring the James Talarico interview at the behest of the FCC, then CBS is now operating as an agent of the federal government.

And since all works produced by the government are public domain, here it is in full.

84 years today since 21 Australian nurses marched "chins up" into the sea on a quiet Sumatran beach and were murdered by Imperial Japanese forces. The nurses had earlier refused to flee and leave their patients. Amongst the most gallant of our Greatest Generation. Lest we forget.

@Linda__Stevens @atrupar @PamBondiAG @RepBeccaB She laughed bc even she was embarrassed by her stupidity

[Kate Webb 🇦🇺 🇺🇦🇵🇸 @ktjnw]

@atrupar Bondi is a fucking moron

[Daractenus @Daractenus]

Bondi: "There is no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime"

Lieu: "I believe you just lied under oath."

Bondi: "Don't you ever accuse me of a crime"

Lieu: "I’m showing you evidence."

I think Pam Bondi’s "career" has just come to an end today.

“It’s a public holiday today, and in Tehran it feels like a family festival.”

I can’t believe this BBC report.

Over 40,000 families are mourning at least one loved one. Yet according to this journalist, the sun is shining, Iranians are happy, the regime is “listening,” and even apologizing for economic hardship.

Who exactly are they apologizing to? They slaughtered everyone who dared to complain.

[Christiane Amanpour @amanpour]

Exclusive: The Nobel Committee say they have credible reports that Iranian Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi has been severely beaten in custody. The allegations are graphic and horrific. Nobel chair Jørgen Frydnes calls it “cruel and inhumane treatment, a blatant violation of international human rights law.”

In the 1970s, Peter Norman was one of the fastest sprinters on Earth, an Australian athlete who shocked the world by winning silver in the 200 meters at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. But his greatest moment had nothing to do with speed.

At the medal ceremony, American runners Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their fists in a Black Power salute to protest racism. The gesture became one of the most iconic images in sports history. What most people don’t know is that Peter Norman stood with them.

Norman wore an Olympic Project for Human Rights badge in solidarity. He even suggested that Smith and Carlos share a pair of gloves when Carlos forgot his own, which is why one raised a right fist and the other a left.

The backlash was brutal. While Smith and Carlos were expelled from the Olympic Village, Norman returned to Australia and was quietly punished. Despite running qualifying times for the 1972 Olympics, he was never selected. Officials and media labeled him a troublemaker. His career collapsed.

He fell into depression, struggled financially, and faded from public memory, even though he still held the Australian 200m record for over 50 years.

In 2006, when Peter Norman died, Smith and Carlos carried his coffin. They called him “the third man on the podium.”

It took until 2012 for the Australian Parliament to officially apologize for how he was treated.

Today, Peter Norman is remembered not just as an athlete, but as a man who sacrificed his career to stand for something bigger than sport.
