THIS IS INSANE: James Talarico’s interview with Jimmy Kimmel—the one Trump’s own FCC reportedly attempted to block—has now outperformed Trump’s midterm convention speech in the ratings.

Trump’s FCC reportedly tried to prevent the interview from happening, aiming to stop a Texas Senate candidate from reaching voters through national television. It didn’t work.

Kimmel put the interview on YouTube anyway, without gatekeepers or government approval.

And the numbers explain why it drew so much attention. Talarico’s interview surpassed 3.5 million views and continues to rise.

Meanwhile, Trump spent nearly two hours in Dallas boasting that his convention speech “beat the NFL.”

Fox News, the only network broadcasting his full address, averaged roughly 2.5 million viewers—nowhere near the figure he claimed.

So, look at the numbers: the interview the Trump administration allegedly attempted to censor reached more than 3.5 million views, while Trump’s own speech—the one he repeatedly bragged about—drew about 2.5 million.

A Texas Senate candidate just attracted a larger audience than the President of the United States on YouTube, after the government allegedly tried to keep the interview from being seen.

They tried to suppress the interview, but instead gave James Talarico one of the biggest moments of his campaign. That isn’t a government victory; it shows why so many people are tired of listening to them.
