Septuagenarian David Letterman (remember him?) has stumbled eagerly back into the spotlight to voice his support for Stephen Colbert’s Late Show ahead of its demise, using his YouTube page to bash CBS for the decision to axe it.

The hirsute 78-year-old posted a 20-minute video montage of him taking CBS – which he worked for from 1993 to 2015 – to task.

Letterman captioned the curated clip, ‘You can’t spell CBS without BS’ – amid widespread speculation the move was somehow the result of an intervention by President Donald Trump.

The effort showcased various jokes Letterman told about the network which helped propel him to late night stardom, with eight clips spanning two decades, from 1994-2013 all part of the package.

Letterman is just the latest in a long list of past and current late night hosts to voice their backing for Colbert and his show which will finally head for the exit next year, as Breitbart News reported.

Some of the Hollywood elite, like faded 80s star Molly Ringwald, have even seen this as a release for Colbert to now set his vengeful sights on the White House and seek redemption against omnipotent GOP political forces.

CBS confirmed the Late Show will not be renewed for another season, with the network calling it a “financial decision” after it bled millions while trying to push leftist propaganda.

“We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire ‘The Late Show’ franchise” in May of 2026,” executives said in a statement.

“We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late night television.  This is purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.  It is not related in any way to the show’s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount,” the statement further explained.

The end came just days after Colbert denounced his parent company’s $16 million settlement with Trump, calling it a “big, fat bribe” for the Skydance merger.

The show, known for its sneering disdain for the GOP and its supporters, ends its run in May, 2026.

New York is still a sanctuary city, but ICE detainers under President Trump have skyrocketed in the Big Apple. City officials, however, are determined to oppose those detainers every step of the way. It’s inexplicable that any city would go to such effort to protect people in the country illegally, but that seems to be the line that New York has drawn.

Meanwhile, the detainers just keep coming.

President Donald Trump‘s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released numbers on Wednesday showing that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already issued 400% more detainers on illegal immigrants in sanctuary city of New York than former President Joe Biden did during his entire term.

The data shows that ICE has issued 6,025 arrest requests to transfer custody or detainers since Trump took office in January. DHS says that during Biden’s entire presidency, he issued just 9,472 detainers in New York City.

We’re becoming accustomed to these kinds of observations, wherein President Trump has accomplished more in six months than Joe Biden did in four years. Granted, our pleasure in that is dampened (only a little) by the low bar that Joe Biden set, in that such things as “staying awake” and “speaking coherently” are enough to surmount it. But President Trump has his timelines, and his agenda, and cleaning up the millions in the country illegally was and is a key priority.

New York, of course, is not cooperating.

Despite the surge in ICE detainers, the department says that New York City has honored only a “handful” of the requests. 

“In just six months, ICE has issued over 6,000 detainers in NYC alone—that’s a more than 400 percent increase in the number of detainers lodged under Biden,” Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Again, there’s that low bar again. But this is a significant accomplishment all on its own.

Homan Puts Sanctuary Cities on Notice, Slams the Media Over Immigration Enforcement Coverage

What Democrats have managed to do, of course, is to demonize ICE and other federal officials at every turn, with predictable results.

Assaults on ICE agents are up 830% since Trump took office, according to DHS, and the department said in the press release Wednesday that the violence is “largely driven” by anti-ICE rhetoric and sanctuary policies. 

New York City’s sanctuary immigration policies catapulted to the forefront of the national conversation over the weekend when an off-duty border patrol officer was shot in the face by a man government officials say is an illegal immigrant.

The border is closed, and the Trump administration has been moving towards cutting off federal funds for sanctuary jurisdictions, which may serve to encourage them to do what a majority of American citizens clearly voted for. And New York, in particular, would actually benefit from the removal of a few thousand illegal aliens, especially in areas like the crime-ridden South Bronx, or even Queens.

New York would do well to assist ICE, not to impede them. After all, it’s not like the Big Apple has fruit that won’t get picked if the illegal aliens aren’t there.

Editor’s Note: Thanks to President Trump, illegal immigration into our great country has virtually stopped. Despite the radical left’s lies, new legislation wasn’t needed to secure our border, just a new president.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) is a favorite of many on the right for his Southern humor and intelligence. We’ve covered his wit many times on this site; it’s a wonderful asset to have in a fractious world. As we’ve seen, he can break down issues into their simplest parts like no one else.

Funniest Man in Congress Cracks Me Up With Another Knee-Slapper Email, Eviscerates Comey, Brennan

So it was concerning when some media outlets and accounts on X ran with a story over the past day about an appearance he had with Larry Kudlow on Fox Business on Tuesday.

Here was the headline from “The Daily Beast” claiming Kennedy froze right in the middle of speaking. 

They also added a little “Gerontocracy” tag to the bottom of the headline. They compared the moment to what happened to Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) when McConnell froze up while speaking. 

Kennedy was supposed to be talking about sanctuary cities. 

Here’s the moment that they were referencing. “Jesus loves them, but everybody else thinks…” Sen. Kennedy said, before stopping.

While he does stop, you can also hear a weird buzzing on the feed. Kudlow said they had prior problems with the same mic going out on them when Kudlow was talking with Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) in a previous segment. 

‘I guess we had some more technical problems. That was the same mic we lost with Senator Rand Paul,’ Kudlow said.

Kennedy told “The Daily Mail” it was a mic problem, as Kudlow had said. And he let “The Daily Beast” have it – in that inimitable way that he has – for not doing more to check the story

‘The Daily Beast is wrong. Yesterday, during my interview with Larry Kudlow on Fox Business, there was a malfunction in my earpiece. I heard a loud screeching noise with a lot of static. It sounded like a 747 taking off,’ the senator told the Daily Mail via a statement.

‘The same thing happened with Rand Paul, who was interviewed before me. I stopped talking until the interference cleared up, and thought we were off the air. Once I could hear Kudlow, I started talking again. All you have to do to get the facts is call Kudlow’s producer, which the Daily Beast intern clearly didn’t do,’ Kennedy added.

Kennedy’s X account also continued to post after the incident and didn’t appear to have anything out of the ordinary. 

So I’m glad to hear he’s fine, but he’s right. They should have taken the clue from Kudlow about the mic and checked with him. And they should have updated their story when the facts came out. They haven’t done so as of this writing. They did say they contacted Kennedy’s spokesperson, who did not immediately respond before they ran the story. 

Some accounts on X are still publishing the video without Kennedy’s explanation. 

So I wanted to clarify the issue, if you had heard about it. Hopefully, he will be around for some time to continue to put Democrat witnesses on the spot, and skewer Democrat wasteful spending.

Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) does not believe taxpayers should subsidize fake news, and he’s filed a bill to cancel a prominent offender, the Wall Street Journal.

The freshman Floridian filed the Stop Unnecessary Expenditures Act, or the SUE Act, Tuesday night to prohibit the use of federal funds by Members of Congress to pay for a subscription to the Wall Street Journal. Fine’s move followed a much-maligned hit piece by the Journal that alleged that Trump sent a lewd letter to convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday.

Trump denied sending the letter, yet the Journal published the dubious allegation regardless.

Fine believes Trump’s credible denial and insists the notion the letter came from Trump “just doesn’t make any sense.”

“The Democrats made stuff up about Donald Trump to try to take him out while he was running for president. If he’d actually done something real, Joe Biden would have released it,” he told Breitbart News. “So we know by definition, none of this can be true, right? If you’re willing to lie about Donald Trump to try to defeat him, if you actually had something that was bad, that was true, you would share it, and they didn’t.”

Fine wants repercussions for the recklessness.

“The SUE Act would say no more money to the Wall Street Journal, and members of Congress cannot subsidize the Wall Street Journal with subscriptions from their offices, which, frankly, is a good idea no matter what, but certainly given this incredible breach of journalistic ethics, it’s a no brainer,” he said.

Fine isn’t alone in seeking to hold the Journal accountable. The White House announced Tuesday it would remove the publication’s reporters from the press pool that covers the president.

“As the appeals court confirmed, the Wall Street Journal or any other news outlet are not guaranteed special access to cover President Trump in the Oval Office, aboard Air Force One, and in his private workspaces,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt explained. “Due to the Wall Street Journal’s fake and defamatory conduct, they will not be one of the thirteen outlets on board.”

Fine agrees with the move.

“If they can make up the news, why does the White House need to give them access to the media room?” he asked. “They can just make it up without being there.”

The Journal and the New York Times have what the House Administration Committee called an “enterprise contract” where they offer bulk, discounted subscriptions to employees of the U.S. House of Representatives. Fine’s bill would eliminate the Wall Street Journal‘s contract.

“If you’re going to make up the news, you shouldn’t expect the taxpayers to pay for it,” he told Breitbart News.

After the story published, Trump made good on his threat to file a lawsuit against News Corp. owner Rupert Murdoch, Dow Jones & Company Inc., and the reporters of the article.

If the lawsuit is successful, the Journal may have to pay for its decision to publish the story regardless of whether taxpayers continue paying for subscriptions for Members of Congress.

“I hope your ‘exclusive’ is worth the millions of dollars you’re going to have to pay out,” Fine tweeted.

President Donald Trump believes the Department of Justice (DOJ) should go directly after former President Barack Obama following the recent revelations from Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard showcasing the true origins of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

A reporter asked Trump about Tulsi Gabbard submitting a criminal referral to the DOJ following her declassification of documents showing that the Obama administration deliberately manufactured intelligence to create the false Trump-Russia collusion hoax.

When asked who the DOJ should target as part of their investigation, Trump said Obama himself.

“Based on what I read — and I read pretty much what you read — it would be President Obama. He started it, and Biden was there with him, and Comey was there, and Clapper — the whole group was there,” Trump began.

“If you look at those papers, they have them stone cold, and it was President Obama. It wasn’t lots of people all over the place. It was them too, but the leader of the gang was President Obama — Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him?” Trump said.

“And except for the fact that he gets shielded by the press for his entire life, that’s the one they — look, he’s guilty,” Trump continued, asserting that Obama’s guilt is not a question.

“It’s there. He’s guilty. They — this was treason. This was every word you could think of. They tried to steal the election. They tried to obfuscate the election. They did things that nobody’s ever even imagined. Even in other countries. You’ve seen some pretty rough countries. This man has seen some pretty rough countries, but you’ve never seen anything like it,” Trump added.

WATCH:

Trump’s response follows the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) releasing documents last week showing “overwhelming evidence that demonstrates how, after President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump,” as Breitbart News detailed:

The new allegation that emerges from the documents is that senior Obama officials defied existing intelligence assessments that suggested Russia had not interfered meaningfully in the 2016 election, and prepared new assessments to suggest that it had done so — “based on information that was known by those involved to be manufactured i.e. the Steele Dossier or deemed as not credible,” an ODNI statement said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has since said that Congress may subpoena Obama over allegations that he colluded with America’s intelligence agencies to create the fake Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

The CBS decision to cancel Stephen Colbert’s show (ending in 2026) has folks on the left throwing fits.

The main liberal take seems to be that it’s President Donald Trump’s fault because Colbert was critical of him. So some on the left are speaking out. How stunning and brave. 

But it might be hard to find a worse response than the one from Jon Stewart. He said if CBS was afraid [of Trump] and wanted to protect their bottom line, this was his response. 

Warning for graphic language: 

He dances to a Gospel-singing of “Just go f*** yourself!” Not only is it a false take, it’s an insulting use of gospel singing, and cringeworthy beyond belief. But this is all they have left. 

People who react like this have thrown away any kind of dignity that they may have had, because their heads are so buried in the bubble of bad politics. They’ve forgotten about being funny. If they wonder why they’re losing viewers, it’s things like this. Who wants to watch that, and how does it add to anything? 

Here’s the reality of the decision that they refuse to accept, as my colleague, Joe Cunningham, explained.

The numbers behind Colbert’s cancellation are sobering and have been building for years. According to industry reports, The Late Show costs CBS approximately $100 million annually to produce, with Colbert’s salary alone reaching $15 million per year. The show employs roughly 200 people, creating significant overhead costs that made sense when late-night television was profitable, but no longer do.

Most damning of all: CBS was reportedly losing $40 million per year on The Late Show, despite it being the #1 rated program in its timeslot. When your most successful show is hemorrhaging that much money, the problem isn’t political pressure—it’s structural economic collapse.

This financial bleeding wasn’t sudden. Industry sources revealed that CBS had approached Colbert before this season, asking for salary cuts, with one source noting that “poverty was pled” during those negotiations. The network had been grappling with these losses for years, not days.

 Oh-So-Sad Writers Guild Demands Investigation Into Colbert Cancellation

No company will continue to lose $40 million – it’s just not sustainable. And how could a one-host show like that cost $100 million annually? That’s crazy, the amount of money. 

Stewart and others want to claim some kind of censorship. However, he demonstrates he’s free to be as stupid as he is here, without anyone trying to stop him.

Frankly, this situation is a lot like why the Democrats are failing at elections. They can blow a ton of money, but they’re not offering up what people want to see or hear. There is no actual humor anymore. If they wonder why late night is dying, this is it.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) schooled CNN anchors, who appeared genuinely confused and shocked after they gave anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil numerous chances to say he condemned Hamas, and he refused.

During a CNN segment on Tuesday, Pamela Brown and Wolf Blitzer asked the former Columbia University protester, who was detained by ICE in early March before being released by a federal judge, if he condemned the terrorist group after President Donald Trump’s administration accused him of being a terrorist sympathizer.

“Just to be clear here though, do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their actions on October 7?” Brown asked.

“I condemn the killing of all Pal-, of all civilians, full stop,” Khalil replied. “And, but what I don’t want to get into is-“

The anchor interjected and tried once again to help Khalil out and asked him, “But do you condemn Hamas, specifically?”

“No, I am very clear with condemning all civilians. I’m very straight in my position in that part,” Khalil insisted. “But it’s disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel. It’s not condemning October 6, where 260 Palestinians were killed by Israel before October 7.”

“So I hate this selective outrage of condemnation because this is not, this wouldn’t lead to a constructive conversation,” he added. “And this is also, like what we want to deal with is the root causes of why that happened. And it’s no way anyone can justify the killing of civilians.”

Third time’s the charm! Brown hits him once more:

BROWN: Just to be clear, Mahmoud, we did ask about-, you know, we’ve talked at length about your views, of course, on the Palestinians. But it is fair to ask you about whether you condemn Hamas because the Trump administration has claimed that you are a Hamas sympathizer. So it’s very important to actually ask that question in this broad conversation.

And to no one’s surprise, he ignored the question and deflected, stating that he “simply asked and protested the war in Palestine … That’s why I wouldn’t really engage much into such questions on condemnation or not. Because selective condemnations is not, wouldn’t get us anywhere. It’s just like a hypocrite, to be honest.”

The DHS responded to the clip and said Khalil has not been “painted” as a Hamas sympathizer; he is one, and not condemning the terrorist group is just more proof.

“Mahmoud Khalil refuses to condemn Hamas because he IS a terrorist sympathizer not because DHS ‘painted’ him as one,” the Department wrote on X. “He ‘branded’ himself as an antisemite through his own hateful behavior and rhetoric.”

“It is a privilege to be granted a visa or green card to live and study in the United States of America,” the post added. “The Trump Administration acted well within its statutory and constitutional authority to detain Khalil, as it does with any alien who advocates for violence, glorifies and supports terrorists, harasses Jews, and damages property.”

Gotta love when CNN accidentally stumbles on the fact that Trump was right again.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard revealed that the Trump administration had released more than 200,000 files regarding the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In a post on X, Gabbard revealed that included in the 230,000 MLK assassination files were documents that included details regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) “investigation into the assassination of MLK,” as well as “internal FBI memos detailing the progress of the case,” along with other information.

“Today, after nearly 60 years of questions surrounding the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we are releasing 230,000 MLK assassination files, available now at archives.gov/mlk,” Gabbard said. “The documents include details about the FBI’s investigation into the assassination of MLK, discussion of potential leads, internal FBI memos detailing the progress of the case, information about James Earl Ray’s former cellmate who stated he discussed with Ray an alleged assassination plot, and more.”

Gabbard continued to praise President Donald Trump Executive Order 14176, which declassified records regarding the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr., former President John F. Kennedy, and his brother Robert F. Kennedy.

In her post, Gabbard noted that thanks to Trump’s leadership, “Executive Order 14176 resulted in three, unprecedented interagency efforts to identify, digitize, declassify and release files related to the federal government’s investigations into the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Dr. King.”

“I am grateful to President Trump and DNI Gabbard for delivering on their pledge of transparency in the release of these documents on the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr,” Dr. Alveda King said in a statement. “My uncle lived boldly in pursuit of truth and justice, and his enduring legacy of faith continues to inspire Americans to this day.”

Breitbart News previously reported that Dr. King’s family responded to the news that Trump had issued an executive order declassifying the records relating to Dr. King’s assassination by requesting that they have the “opportunity to review the files as a family prior to its public release.”

The divide in the Democratic Party further widened this week when Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) publicly said that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani “isn’t speaking for our party.”

As Breitbart News previously chronicled, Zohran Mamdani holds extremely far-left positions, most specifically on private property and Israel, with some questionable views on the Jewish state. Since coming within striking distance of becoming the mayor of New York City, moderate Democrats have been sounding the alarm. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Rep. Adam Smith attempted to distance Mamdani from the rest of the party.

“Look, the mayor of New York has never, never, ever been the leader of the Democratic Party,” Smith said when asked about Mamdani.

Smith then played off Mamdani’s prominence as being the result of the Democrats’ “Big Tent” platform.

“Mamdani isn’t speaking for our party, any more than I’m speaking for our party. It’s a big tent. It’s a big coalition,” he said before attacking President Donald Trump on his “Big, Beautiful Bill.”

“He says he has secured the border. He’s spending all this money now on going around and terrorizing communities with high-profile ICE raids, which are not effective, which has turned people against him on immigration,” Smith said.

Smith encouraged Democrats to stay on message and not consider Mamdani the leader of their party.

“We, Democrats, have a message, and we have a message to deliver. And I’ll tell you this. The mayor of New York, no matter who he is, is not going to be the leader of our party. And we still need to stay focused on those issues,” he said.

Jewish Democrats also denounced Mamdani for refusing to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” while refusing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

“To not be willing to condemn the term ‘globalize the intifada,’ it just demonstrates his callous disregard for antisemitism, terrorist activity,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL).

“Anyone that I care about couldn’t possibly distance themselves from him more,” Wasserman Schultz added. “It’s really terribly disturbing and potentially dangerous.”

Fellow Jewish Democrat lawmaker Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) said Mamdani is “either ignoring or gaslighting the public” when he said “globalize the intifada” is “a peaceful call.”

“I think he’s wrong on all those things,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL). “If he can’t tell people ‘globalizing the intifada’ — if he can’t say that that’s antisemitic, then obviously he’s going to continue to add to the problem, not deflate it.”

The more that comes to light about the wastefulness and incompetence of the Biden administration – a fish that really did rot from the head – the more we should be glad to see that administration in the nation’s rearview mirror. In the latest example of wastefulness that should have any sensible person’s eyes rolling like the reels on a slot machine, we learn on Monday that the Biden administration’s Transportation Secretary, “Pothole Pete” Buttigieg, wasted tens of billions on, you guessed it, “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” schemes.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg failed to replace outdated air traffic control systems while in office — with his agency instead shelling out tens of billions of dollars on a DEI agenda, according to federal spending records and airline industry insiders.

Honestly, though, is anyone surprised? The Biden administration, now thankfully defunct, was notorious for this kind of horse squeeze. And aside from pushing the DEI stuff, “Pothole Pete” seemed to have very little idea what his job was. But that’s no surprise; he had very little idea what his job was as mayor of South Bend, Indiana, either.

In one meeting, Buttigieg — who is said to be eyeing a 2028 presidential run — told industry executives that air traffic control upgrades would just allow them to fly more planes, “and so why would that be in his interest?,” sources said.

What his department was really interested in was handing out hundreds of diversity, equity and inclusion grants totaling more than $80 billion over four years — at least half of the DOT’s entire budget for a typical fiscal year, records show.

“He was definitely pushing an agenda,” an air industry official said, noting the transportation secretary had “little to no interest” and took “definitely zero action” toward air traffic control modernization.

Buttigieg spent his time in President Joe Biden’s cabinet blaming the airlines for their delays and “vilifying” the industry as a whole while denying his department’s DEI agenda led to any air traffic control staffing shortages or was maintaining an ailing safety system that hasn’t been updated since the Carter administration, sources told The Post.

Another sign of incompetence: Blaming anyone but yourself for the failures of a system you’re supposed to be managing.

Fortunately, his replacement is far more competent.

New Poll Shows Democrats Are Committed to Losing Again in 2028

The Biden administration dropped many more billions down DEI ratholes than just this, and for what? What value have any of these programs added to any function of government at any level – and more to the point, how many solid, competent people have been screened out and a job given to less solid, less competent people, in order to tick off a “diversity” box?

But Democrats still seem to like Pothole Pete:

As of last month, an Emerson College poll of registered voters found the former transportation secretary leading the 2028 Democratic presidential primary field with 16% support, followed by ex-Vice President Kamala Harris at 13%.

To national Democrats, I will only say this: Please run this guy for president in 2028. Or ever. Please. Please, please, please. It would be worth it, just to see him in one debate, just one, with someone like JD Vance or Ron DeSantis.
