Stop censoring!

Shocking: Trump gives one version of the story in August 2017. Then, a year later, he gives the same rendition. Shocking, I tell you! This is the beginning of the end of a presidency that has been ending since the beginning but is now really beginning to end because we have ended the beginning and are beginning the end of the beginning...or, maybe this is just more media crap!

Andrew discusses the joint action taken by the big tech companies to take Alex Jones off the air. Andrew knows that it is just a matter of time before the same censors come after more ethical programs on the right, such as his podcast. YouTube has already messed with the funding of his YouTube videos, as it has with the Louder with Crowder videos. For years the Left (media) has been defining those who disagree with them as hateful.

The Left is trying to bring down capitalism, free speech, freedom. Because we love those things, the Left makes it seem that the products of those things are somehow unacceptable. The Left has been doing this since the sixties. "It's not bias," says Don Lemon, "We're just reporting the facts!"

Facebook, Twitter, Apple, and Google/YouTube need to stop censoring! When you hate people, you think they are hateful! The right is going to have to build their own platforms. These big corporations can be brought down, just like us little guys can be brought down. Look what happened to Facebook last week, losing billions.

Jimmy Walker is Andrew's guest. Remember him? He says comedy is now part of our great American divide. His desire is for his comedy act to be funny. He believes, though, that most comedy nowadays is to make a point, rather than to be funny. The anti-Trump thing is the most negative thing Jimmy has seen since the Vietnam War. There is not a positive word to be said. He has never seen such an uncivil time as we are now experiencing.

Jimmy says when the Cosby show began, Cosby wanted it to be like the Honeymooners: with Cosby playing a bus driver. That request was not granted, because of pressure groups not wanting anything that smacked of negative stereotypes. Jimmy tells the story of how Married with Children was originally made for black actors but was changed to whites because of fear of making blacks angry. Now every black person portrayed has to be a good person. And, since Will Smith's wife complained about him now winning an award, "You'll never see a black person not be nominated again!" Jimmy has a special entitled "We're still here!" coming out soon.
