Discussions about impeaching Trump after he leaves office: Constitutional arguments against holding a Senate trial for a former president, no purpose other than to prevent him from running again, and concerns about false information spread by media
There are ongoing discussions about the potential impeachment of President Trump after he leaves office on January 20th, but there are significant constitutional arguments against holding a Senate trial for a president who is no longer in office. Furthermore, some argue that impeaching a politically finished president serves no purpose other than to prevent him from running for office again. Additionally, there is a concern about the spread of false information by the left-wing media, which can lead to misunderstandings and even violence. The Washington Post recently published a false story about Mark Levin and other conservative radio hosts, implying they worked for a specific company and calling for tempering election fraud rhetoric. These issues highlight the importance of fact-checking and critical thinking in the face of misinformation.

The Washington Post story implying that he received such an email is categorically false.

The incident highlights the power and potential misuse of tech giants' control over online platforms and the potential consequences for businesses and free speech.

Private Tech Companies and Freedom of Speech: Private tech companies' censorship actions against political opponents raise First Amendment concerns, and inconsistent media support for censorship should be challenged.
There is a growing concern over private tech companies wielding significant power to censor content and silence political opponents, raising questions about freedom of speech and the role of these companies as de facto government entities. The speaker argues that the actions of these companies, such as Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, and Google, against political opponents, particularly conservatives, should be seen as a First Amendment issue. He challenges the media and those defending speech censorship to explain why these companies, acting on behalf of one political ideology, should be exempt from First Amendment concerns. The speaker also criticizes the media for their inconsistent application of freedom of speech principles and their support for censorship. He encourages listeners to consider the implications of these issues and to challenge the status quo.
Tech companies acting as de facto arms of the government: Tech firms rely on gov't subsidies, restrict comms for gov figures, pose national security risks, and infringe on First Amendment rights
Tech companies, such as Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and Google, are effectively acting as de facto arms of the government due to their reliance on government subsidies, particularly Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. These companies, which only exist because of this government subsidy, are using their power to attack one political party (Republicans) and restrict communication channels for government figures (like former President Trump), while also posing a threat to national security. This raises First Amendment concerns, as these companies are only able to exist and act in this manner due to the government's subsidy. Additionally, these tech companies are not the only entities acting as de facto governments; governments themselves can also take actions that infringe on individual rights and freedoms. A solution to this issue could be reevaluating the government's role in enabling these tech companies' actions and ensuring equal treatment for all political parties and communication channels.
Tech companies suspending gov't communication channels: national security & legal implications: Tech companies suspending official gov't communication channels, such as Twitter and Amazon, has serious consequences including potential disasters during emergencies and unclear legal liability
The actions of tech companies, such as Twitter and Amazon, in suspending official government communication channels, including those of the President of the United States, has serious national security and legal implications. This issue goes beyond US politics and affects the sovereignty of communication channels for leaders around the world. The potential consequences could be disastrous, particularly in the event of an emergency, where accurate and timely information is crucial. The legal liability for these tech companies in shutting down such channels has not been fully considered, and their actions could have unintended consequences. It is essential to recognize the significance of this issue and the potential risks involved.

Primary campaigns may be necessary if they waver, and the primary season is the time for change.
In the current political climate, it's crucial for Republicans to take a firm stand against tech companies and political censorship. Business partners, payment processors, affiliates, and even banks could potentially turn against conservatives, so it's essential to ensure they support free speech and a free country. The 2022 elections are approaching, and it's necessary to hold Republican officials accountable for their stance on Section 230, the free and open internet, and political beliefs protection. If they waver, primary campaigns should be readied to replace them. Time is of the essence, and every effort should be made to get them on record and spread the word. Even if they're not perfect, they'll still be better than the Democrats, but the opportunity to remove them exists now. The primary season is the time for change, and it's starting early in 2021.
