Censorship is Coming
Summary
Dave Smith and Robbie the Fire Bernstein discuss the escalating conflict with Iran, criticizing Donald Trump’s failed military strategies and propaganda regarding the Strait of Hormuz. They address calls for censorship by pro-war figures like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro, arguing that these voices are losing public support due to dishonesty. The hosts also analyze how right-wing commentators refuse to engage in debates, preferring to blame algorithms and bots for their declining influence rather than confronting opposing arguments.
