Claims and stances

- 0:00 Yeah, I think uh y'all both bring up very valid um arguments and stances on this.
- 0:06 But one thing that I want to mention is censorship right now, even though Trump was, you know, he's uh he was heavily censored for a long time, um, whether it was for a good reason or for not.
- 0:21 Um during that time, every platform he got was preaching, you know, how censorship is bad.
- 0:30 And it's unfortunate to see um this censorship coming back, because that's not how America should be.
- 0:37 And yes, I agree with you on the kids' channels, but I'm not really talking about kids' channels here.
- 0:41 I'm really referring to people um with more political voices.
- 0:45 But one thing I kind of wanted to touch on here was um in this past Trump election cycle, obviously long-form media like podcasts has started to dominate a lot of how um educated and uneducated people um source their information and hear from some of these candidates.
- 1:04 And I remember when the Trump administration won, a lot of people credited Joe Rogan and his um kind of think tank into supporting him and that being a huge reason why a lot of moderates, as he is a moderate, um, voted for Trump.
- 1:24 But I think an important thing to think of now is if you listen to a Joe Rogan podcast, he is the first one to call out um the censorship and you know, some of the stuff Cash Patel's done with the Epstein files and how things have gone back and forth there.
- 1:41 So one thing that I just wanted to point out is that yes, there is um a push for more censorship right now in our media, unfortunately, on certain debate on certain topics, but um America as a country I feel like is is growing out of listening to what they um you know have to say.
- 2:06 Uh you know, they're they're looking to people like Joe Rogan and and these other these other you know political commentators who stand a little more in the middle, and I think that's great for our country.
- 2:18 So yeah, it is growing, but I think a big aspect of this is people's perception on it and how you know people aren't necessarily just eating up who gets censored and who does what.
- 2:30 They still are to a degree, but um social media is helping um people more moderates agree with each other and helping everybody find common ground a little bit, I believe.
