FCC to investigate, 'take appropriate action' on Colbert’s Trump rant
Late night talk show host Stephen Colbert's controversial joke about President Trump drew the attention of the Federal Communications Commission. The agency received "a number" of complaints about Colbert's commentary earlier in the week, according to the FCC's chief.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai promised to "take the appropriate action" following a comprehensive investigation of Colbert's remarks.
The FCC's response will depend on whether Colbert's remarks are considered "obscene."
"We are going to take the facts that we find and we are going to apply the law as it's been set out by the Supreme Court and other courts and we'll take the appropriate action," he told Talk Radio 1210 WPHT Thursday.
The FCC flags speech it considers "indecent" before 10 p.m., he told Fox Business Network, and looks for "obscene" content after that point. Colbert's "The Late Show" airs at 11:35 p.m. ET on CBS.
The agency's website states that content must meet a three-tier Supreme Court test to be labeled "obscene."
"It must appeal to an average person's prurient interest; depict or describe sexual conduct in a 'patently offensive' way; and, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value," it reads.
Colbert on Monday unleashed a flood of insults at Trump, satirizing an interview with CBS news the president cut short the day before.
"The only thing your mouth is good at is being [Russian President] Vladimir Putin's c-k holster," he said of Trump.
Colbert on Wednesday defended his joke amid fierce backlash online.
"I don't regret that," he said. "[Trump], I believe, can take care of himself. I have jokes; he has the launch codes. So, it's a fair fight."

This is absolutely absurd!!
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — The cost of imprisoning each of California's 130,000 inmates is expected to reach a record $75,560 in the next year, enough to cover the annual cost of attending Harvard University and still have plenty left over for pizza and beer.
The price for each inmate has doubled since 2005, even as court orders related to overcrowding have reduced the population by about one-quarter. Salaries and benefits for prison guards and medical providers drove much of the increase.
The result is a per-inmate cost that is the nation's highest and $2,000 above tuition, fees, room and board, and other expenses to attend Harvard.

Members of a congressional committee at a public hearing Wednesday blasted former President Barack Obama and his attorney general for allegedly covering up an investigation into the death of a Border Patrol agent killed as a result of a botched government gun-running project known as Operation Fast and Furious.
The House Oversight Committee also Wednesday released a scathing, nearly 300-page report that found Holder’s Justice Department tried to hide the facts from the loved ones of slain Border Patrol Brian Terry – seeing his family as more of a “nuisance” than one deserving straight answers – and slamming Obama's assertion of executive privilege to deny Congress access to records pertaining to Fast and Furious
