We have some major developments at this hour. The effort to silence Stephen Colbert has failed, has failed pretty miserably as Stephen Colbert's numbers right now are surging. If you didn't know the Trump fcc, the chairman of the fcc, Brendan Carr, who wrote the chapter for the FCC and Project 2025, tried to censor CBS and Colbert telling CBS Colbert cannot air a recorded interview with State Representative James Talarico. CBS quickly obliged caving to the Trump administration. Colbert put that up anyway on social media and while the accounts they're surging at the same time, the Department of Homeland Security right now is in deep trouble as there are significant issues emerging between Kristi Noem, the Secretary, and the Coast Guard to the point where now today, Trisha McLaughlin, the spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, has decided to resign from her role.

Let's jump right into it this afternoon. Stephen Colbert show is surging View counts on the most watched Colbert clips on his FCC censored Talarico interview are over a million on every platform platform from YouTube to Instagram to TikTok and Twitter. Significant surges across the board. For perspective on linear TV, his show averages 2.3 million viewers. So on most platforms that's already been surpassed and well, those numbers are only going to continue growing. What Trump tried to do is silence Colbert, but it turned into the Streisand effect where more people are now tuning into Colbert rather than not. And so you have a situation where Colbert's ratings online on social media continue to surge as the Trump administration continues to crack down on media that it does not approve of. And it comes at a precarious time for the President because his Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under significant fire. New reporting from the Coast Guard shows from NBC News shows that Noam's leadership at the Department of Homeland Security has created a specific split in the Coast Guard. Many rank and file members are motivated by her approach, in which she showcases their work by joining them on operations and visiting their ships. Some more senior officials, however, see that approach as taken away from the Coast Guard's traditional missions. The dynamic with more senior officials has only worsened in recent months as NOME oversaw a tenfold increase in the use of the Coast Guard's aircraft for deportation efforts. So let that sink in. They are using Coast Guard efforts for deportation. Now. There is a key story here that I think many people need to know about because this tension between Coast Guard officials and Nome began after a 23 year old coast Guardsman went overboard into the Pacific Ocean from the Qatar on February 4 last year, shortly after the United States Senate confirmed Noem into her role. The Coast Guard had searched ships and aircraft to the Pacific to find the Guardsmen. Hours into the search, Noem learned that a Coast Guard C130 that was supposed to fly detained migrants from California to Texas was among the aircraft over the Pacific looking for the missing guardsmen. And she interviewed, according to two officials, and she intervened. Noem verbally instructed the acting commandant of the Coast Guard to pull the plane off the search and rescue mission so it would not miss the immigrant flight. As part of the Department of Homeland Security, so called alien expulsion operations. Lunde then notified the National Command center which ordered the C130 to fly to San Diego while the other aircraft and ships were involved in the search. In an effort to keep the C130 searching for the missing service member, the regional Coast Guard command in south in San Diego scrambled to find two available C27s that could fly the detained people to Texas, which freed up the C130 to continue searching for the missing Guardsmen. After about an hour, the search went on for 190 hours, covering 19,000 square miles. The guardsman was never found. She wanted to pull away Coast Guard resources and instead use them to continue her mass deportation efforts. And that's caused outrage. It's caused outrage. And it comes as polling for many of the President's policies are really tanking, whether it's immigration or health care. And I do want to briefly touch on health care while I have you because I partnered with Chapter, a company that deals with Medicare, a company that deals with making Medicare simpler. Millions of seniors right now are essentially on the wrong side of the Medicare, on their wrong Medicare plans. And most of them, most of you, if you're watching, don't even know it. I partnered with Chapter because it makes Medicare simple, makes it easier. You can go on their website and compare all your options in just under 20 minutes. It essentially allows you to search every plan to make sure that you have the right one. It saves seniors on average about $1,100. And it's completely free to use. So you can check out Chapter for free and unbiased medical help. Simply dial 212-200-3531 to speak with my trusted partner Chapter or go to ask chapter.org backslash Parnas. All of that information is linked below as well. And for me, I mean, I think it's an important partnership to have, especially as Medicare is becoming more difficult to use and efforts in Washington, D.C. aren't helping at all. So that polling is tanking. What else is tanking is immigration. Immigration is tanking right now. And we'll listen to Don Bacon, what he had to say about new changes in the Trump immigration policy about whether or not they need a search warrant to enter your home. Take a listen to this from Congressman Don Bacon, who is a Republican, though.
