Podcast Summary
Democrats' intolerance for free speech and civil liberties: Democrats' growing intolerance for free speech is evident in their support for corporate de-platforming and government prosecution of individuals for controversial content, putting fundamental rights at risk. Reform Democrats and thinkers like Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin are speaking out against this totalitarian streak.
The issue of civil liberties and free speech is becoming a major concern as the de-platforming movement gains momentum with the Democrats. A recent incident involving a content creator named Sargon of Akkad, who was pushed off social media due to his controversial content, highlights this issue. Sargon funded his operation through sponsors and Patreon. This incident underscores the Democrats' growing intolerance for free speech and their support for corporate de-platforming and government prosecution of individuals for process crimes. Thankfully, there are reform Democrats and thinkers like Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin who are speaking out against this totalitarian streak by the left. It's important for individuals to stay informed and engaged in the conversation around civil liberties and free speech to ensure that these fundamental rights are protected.

Liberal-leaning Patreon targets non-liberal content creators: Despite not violating rules, some content creators are being kicked off Patreon. Independent platforms are emerging as a response to protect free speech and diverse viewpoints.
The liberal-leaning platform Patreon has recently kicked off controversial content creators, such as Sargon of Akkad, despite not violating the platform's rules. This action follows previous warnings about the potential suppression of free speech and the eventual targeting of non-liberal figures, like Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin. In response, Peterson and Rubin have announced plans to create an independent platform for content creators to openly express their views and be funded by their audiences. This development highlights the importance of alternative payment platforms and the potential for entrepreneurs to capitalize on the growing demand for non-mainstream content. The liberal war on free speech is a serious issue, and the creation of independent platforms is a necessary step to ensure that diverse viewpoints continue to be heard.
Building a Comprehensive Alternative Platform for Conservative Voices: To succeed in creating an alternative platform for conservative voices, focus on every aspect from payment processing to marketing, present a clear alternative identity, and prioritize free speech and civil liberties.
To build a successful alternative platform for conservative voices, it's essential to consider every aspect of the operation, from the ground up. This includes creating a payment processor, server company, and marketing brand that distinguishes the new platform from the competition. The key is to present a clear alternative identity and ground rules that prioritize free speech and respect civil liberties. The speaker emphasizes the importance of this initiative due to the ongoing efforts by "anti-civil liberties advocates" to de-platform conservative voices. By building a comprehensive alternative platform, Jordan Peterson and Dave Rubin can effectively mitigate threats and leverage their strengths to create a successful business.
FBI's Interrogation of Flynn Raises Questions: The FBI's handling of Michael Flynn's interview raised concerns over their motivations and inconsistencies, as agents seemed more focused on getting him to lie than investigating the content of his conversations with the Russian ambassador.
The FBI's handling of the investigation into Michael Flynn raises questions about the agency's motivations and the inconsistencies in their actions. According to reports, FBI agents had interviewed Flynn about his conversations with the Russian ambassador, but they already had the transcripts of those conversations. Yet, they seemed more interested in getting Flynn to lie during the interview, rather than focusing on the content of the conversation itself. This raises concerns that the FBI was trying to create an investigation and potential crime out of thin air. Furthermore, it was revealed in Flynn's sentencing memo that the FBI agents involved in the interview had the impression that Flynn was not lying, but he was later charged with lying to the FBI. These inconsistencies add to the ongoing debate about the role of the FBI in political investigations.
Disagreement between Comey and Agents over Flynn's Lying: Former FBI director Comey and agents had differing opinions on Flynn's alleged lies during interview, raising questions about transparency and accuracy in investigations.
There seems to be a discrepancy between the accounts of former FBI director Jim Comey and the agents who interviewed Michael Flynn regarding Flynn's alleged lying during an interview in 2017. According to the agents' documented paperwork, they did not believe Flynn was lying at the time. However, Comey testified that he believed Flynn was lying despite the agents' observations. This inconsistency raises questions about who is telling the truth or if there is a misunderstanding of the situation. Additionally, Flynn later pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, but it has been suggested that he may have been pressured to do so due to the financial burden of a lengthy legal battle with the federal justice system. The inconsistencies in these accounts highlight the importance of transparency and accuracy in investigative processes.
Flynn was transparent about the recording and transcript of his call with Russian ambassador: Despite the FBI recording and transcribing Flynn's call with the Russian ambassador, he was upfront about it with the FBI, but was still charged and pleaded guilty to false statements
During the investigation into Michael Flynn's conversation with the Russian ambassador, Flynn was aware that the call was being recorded and transcribed by the FBI. He made this known to then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe during a phone call. Despite this knowledge and the FBI's own assessment that Flynn was not lying, he was charged and pleaded guilty to making false statements to the FBI. The existence of a 302 report from Flynn's interview, which summarizes the conversation between Flynn and the FBI agents, is still in question, and its absence may have contributed to the public pressure and Flynn's decision to plead guilty. The discrepancy over who initiated the call between Flynn and McCabe adds to the complexity of the situation, but the key point is that Flynn was transparent about the recording and transcript of the call.
Potential Existence of Michael Flynn's Exonerating 302 Report: An FBI 302 report from Michael Flynn's interview, which could contradict the prosecution's case against him for lying, may still be sealed in the court case.
The original 302 report from Michael Flynn's January 2017 interview with the FBI, which could potentially clear Flynn of lying to investigators, may have been filed under seal and not destroyed as some speculate. This report, written by FBI agents who likely believed Flynn was not lying, could significantly impact the case against him. The docket numbers from the court case suggest that the document may have been produced and kept under seal. The importance of this 302 report lies in its potential to contradict the prosecution's case against Flynn for lying to the FBI. The second-in-command during the interview, Joe Pianca, is urged to come forward with his account of the interview to provide clarity on the situation.

Meanwhile, the recent ruling on Obamacare being unconstitutional doesn't mean its end. The penalty for not having health insurance, which was a point of contention, was argued by Obama to not be a penalty but a tax during a TV interview. However, this argument contradicted the Supreme Court's stance on the matter, leaving Obamacare in a precarious position.
Obama's Contradictory Arguments on ACA's Individual Mandate: During Obama's presidency, the individual mandate of the ACA was argued as a penalty in public but a tax in court. The Republican-led Congress then eliminated the penalty, making the entire law potentially unconstitutional. The Supreme Court's previous ruling classifies it as a tax, creating a dilemma for the court if they rule again.
During the Obama administration, there was a contradiction between what the president argued in public about the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate being a penalty and what his solicitor general argued in court that it was a tax. The Republican-led Congress then zeroed out the penalty, making the entire law unconstitutional based on the argument made in court. However, the law remains in effect while it goes through the appeals process, with the possibility of it returning to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court's previous decision, which classified the penalty as a tax, puts the court in a difficult position if they were to rule on the case again, as it would require them to either uphold a tax with no revenue or reverse their previous decision. The outcome remains uncertain.
Obamacare's Individual Mandate Ruled Unconstitutional: The recent court ruling against the individual mandate in Obamacare could weaken the entire law, leaving Democrats to defend it without the tax component.
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, is facing significant challenges after a recent court ruling declared the individual mandate unconstitutional. This mandate was considered essential to the functioning of the ACA, as both Congress and the Obama administration argued that it must work together with other provisions for the law to function effectively. However, with the tax component of the mandate now being zero, Democrats may struggle to defend the law. In other news, the winner of the Bongino meme show contest was announced, and Dan continues to endorse Brick House Nutrition's Foundation supplement, which he believes helps users look better, feel better, and perform better. Additionally, Dan debunked the need for government regulation of the internet through net neutrality, arguing that such intervention would only lead to destruction.
Net neutrality debate goes beyond equal treatment: Net neutrality debate includes pricing models and resource consumption, with zero rating plans seen as discriminatory but legal price discrimination based on data consumption is not the same as discrimination based on race or ethnicity, and net neutrality rules being scrapped did not lead to internet slowdowns.
The net neutrality debate is not just about treating all internet data equally, but also about pricing models and resource consumption. Zero rating plans, where companies subsidize data for certain content, were seen as discriminatory by net neutrality supporters. However, this is not the same as price discrimination based on race or ethnicity, which is illegal. Pricing models based on data consumption are not illegal and can be compared to first class tickets, where passengers pay more for additional resources. The net neutrality rules were scrapped in 2017, and while some feared the end of the internet, data speeds have actually increased according to recent studies. It's important to understand the nuances of this complex issue and not be misled by sensational headlines.
Fears of internet collapse after net neutrality repeal unfounded: Despite predictions of doom, internet speeds have improved and investment in broadband has rebounded post-net neutrality repeal
The predictions of doom and collapse following the repeal of net neutrality regulations have not materialized. Instead, download and upload speeds have seen significant increases. The fear-mongering about market pricing leading to discrimination and mass throttling was unfounded. The investment in broadband has also rebounded since the regulations were scrapped. It's important to recognize that a bit is not a bit when it comes to internet usage, and the apocalyptic predictions were not based on factual evidence. The politicization of tragic incidents to fuel hatred towards the country and its institutions is a concerning trend.
Political Strategy to Inflict Trauma on Children at U.S.-Mexico Border: Some politicians are accused of promoting a radical left ideology and spreading lies about the U.S. by suggesting intentional harm to children in border camps, while others urge recognition of the truth and a call for change.
During a recent discussion, it was emphasized that there are children who have been detained in camps at the U.S.-Mexico border for extended periods of time, and some politicians are suggesting that this is part of a deliberate political strategy to inflict trauma. Sen. Jeff Merkley was specifically called out for his comments, with some accusing him of hating the country and suggesting that the United States is intentionally hurting children. The speaker urged everyone to recognize the truth behind the situation and called on Merkley and other like-minded politicians to be voted out of office. The overall sentiment was that these individuals are promoting a radical left ideology and spreading lies about the United States in an attempt to dismantle the current system. It's important to note that this is a complex issue with many nuances, and it's essential to seek out reliable sources of information to form an informed opinion.
