New Law Would End Social Media Censorship, Leaves Big Tech Is Outraged. Josh Hawley, a republican, has proposed a new law that would remove section 230 protections from big tech giants under certain circumstances. Naturally many of these companies are outraged and demand to have it both ways. They want to have the right to control who gets to say what but also not be liable for speech that violates certain laws of presents civil liability. Many of the people at these tech companies hold social justice and far left views which creates a fear of political bias down the root of their rules. Conservatives do not agree with most of the policies these companies have while progressives tend to feel the companies need to enforce stricter rules. As we recently saw with the Project Veritas Pinterest story social media bias is very real and has serious political consequences. If this new law comes into place these companies will lose liability protection unless they submit to an audit and prove that they are politically neutral. In any event big tech regulation is coming and its moving faster everyday. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The US Migrant Crisis Is Going Critical, Local Towns Being Devastated. A Democratic mayor of the town of Del Rio is outraged as he says calls to federal lawmakers fall on deaf ears. This rhetoric has been echoed by many other jurisdictions that have declared emergencies but it seems that national level democrats just push rhetoric and block Trump, ICE, and CBP from doing their jobs. Democrats have even begun to blame federal law enforcement for the problems at the border while simultaneously voting to block funding for facilities. While Trump's solution is building a wall we don't see much of anything from Democrats as their priorities seem to be on winning in 2020 and on impeachment. Yet everyday the crisis at the southern border with mexico gets worse. Record waves of illegal immigrants are coming to the US and even migrants from African are now flying to Brazil then coming to the US. Many far left social justice types endorse open borders, like the Democratic Socialists of America. It seems that these activists don't understand basic economics and don't actually care for the crisis and what its doing to local communities.

Record Wave Of African Migrants Reach US-Mexico Border, Complain Of Bad Conditions. Migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa have begun flying across the Atlantic to South and Central America to try and enter the US at the Southern Border. We are already at record levels of illegal immigration at our Southern border and now we see even more people flying half way around the world to travel through several countries to try and enter the US. While Trump has used emergency powers to being construction on a border wall, many mainstream publications such as the New York Times have called on Congress and Democrats to give Trump the funding he needs. Many questions arise in response to stories like these. Why won't Democrats provide funding for shelters, food, and personnel, and why are so many Africans skipping over safe countries to try and enter the US? While many far left and social justice activists decry the harsh conditions faced by these migrants we seem to see no clear path to securing the border, keeping these people safe, and disincentivizing these journeys.

We Are Heading Straight Into A Technocratic Dystopian Future. With the censorship of Project Veritas and my video on censorship itself we can truly see that 'the fire truck is on fire.' If any of us try to prove censorship and that political motivations drive the tech giants they shut us down. This is just another example of the encroaching nightmare dystopia. A future run by unelected billionaires who are accountable to no one and refuse to stop. While these tech giants have destroyed local journalism and slowly monopolized public discourse many far left activists have defended them as private businesses. Now Facebook seeks to launch a new currency called 'Libra' and has the backing of Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal. Tech giants will now begin slowly monopolizing the economy, removing your access to trade and speech. Its possible that Libra fails but we have already seen Mastercard and Chase bank 'debank' conservatives and political figures. Under the guise of social justice these companies have begun removing people they view to be 'unhealthy' for the conversation. But who gives them this right? How long until these companies ban you from finance and the economy for wrongthink? Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Youtube Has Censored My Video About Censorship, Yes Seriously. Recently there was a big story released by James O'Keefe and Project Veritas about Pinterest censoring conservatives. The story was covered by many outlets including far left and leftist digital media. My video was me reading publicly available information from a website and no new information was revealed. Yet for some reason my video was quietly removed without any notice on youtube. I only found out because someone emailed asking why I was being censored. The official reason? A Privacy complaint. But from who? Not only did I get a complaint but James O'keefe and Steven Crowder got complaints. In fact the origianl report has been removed and Steven Crowder got a privacy complaint for interviewing O'Keefe about it. Social media censorship is now coming for journalism not just commentary. Perhaps this is in result to recent reports, like from Vox, that conservatives are winning the internet. Maybe this wave of censorship hitting Youtube is a result of far left social justice activists taking the only action they have left.

We Just Took A Dramatic Turn Toward Political Collapse. Many people have been saying that there will be come kind of escalating conflict between left and right, a second civil war, or however you want to describe it. Eric Weinstein, of intellectual dark web fame, recently tweeted a thread about how he feels the political world is coming apart and he won't make the same error of 2008 when the financial system took a massive hit. It seems with the dramatic escalation of censorship over the past few weeks and years we are dividing our society in two and that can only lead to one path. The far left social justice activists against the those who oppose them. The "right wing" seems to be a mix of varying ideologies and politics with libertarians, liberals, and conservatives mostly agreeing in their opposition to the regressive left. But the far left activists use powerful institutions to command power and silence opposition under the guise of social justice. Conservatives face bias on social platforms and a double standard in left wing media. If this continues than I think some kind of conflict is guaranteed, though what form it will take I am unsure of. We may already be in it. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rachel Maddow Slammed After Being Announced DNC Debate Moderator. Rachel Maddow is under fire after being named a moderator for the first DNC presidential debates. Many view her as the wrong choice due to her being an opinion show host and not a journalist while others, including myself, are more concerned with her Russiagate rhetoric and calls for impeachment. Many have pointed out that while other networks have had opinion hosts moderate they still think its a bad idea, citing Don Lemon and Megyn Kelly as previous moderators. Assuming the Democrats will want to offer something real to the American public they need to stick to the issues such as healthcare and the economy. There is a concern that with Maddow she will start to push on impeachment and Russia which most Americans do not care about. These lines can be used by conservatives, republicans, and Trump supporters to show how Democrats aren't focused on solutions. It shows that they are just mad about losing 2016. But more importantly it would speak to moderates and independents that the Democrats only care about old news and not moving the country forward and helping make the country better.

Exposing The Motive Behind Media Smears Of Youtube (A Warning To All Youtubers) Recently the Mainstream Media as well as many other digital outlets ran smears against youtubers. On Wikipedia one person even highlighted a smear campaign against Philip Defranco after he was included in the Times hit piece. The motive for the smear may have just been revealed in another story by the New York Times who published a quote from an organization representing them stating that they deserved a piece of Google's profits off of news search. You read that right. NYT Ran a story in which they claimed they deserve a piece of Google's revenue. If that doesn't make it clear as to why they ran this hit job then I don't know what else will. We are in an unprecedented political era with the rise of the far left, social justice activists in media, and the election of Trump. News outlets are spiraling out of control and losing money left and right which brings about an unhinged desperation. Drama and controversy generates views and clicks while also serving to harm political and economic rivals. Carlos Maza and Steven Crowder was just one more straw on the camels back. It triggered a wave of censorship on apolitical youtubers. Even channels that make hippie music for meditation got hit by the wave. You may be an entertainment or history Youtuber but make no mistake, you will be dragged into the next great youtube war same as anyone. They did it to pewdiepie, they will do it to you. The Youtube Vs Mainstream media war won't be the first but it will be bad news for many smaller channels on youtube who can't take the heat.
