The very word secrecy is repugged in a free and open society.

And we are as a people, inherently and historically, opposed to secret societies,

the secret oaths, and to secret proceedings.

And ruthless conspiracy.

Descent to the news. St, this is a special episode. We're alive on YouTube. I did get a strike for our last episode. Uh, it's not. Uh, well, I was going to... Well, guys, this is a special episode. We're live on YouTube.

We continue to be live on YouTube.

I did get a strike for our last episode, the year and review episode, which, you know,

we all kind of saw coming at some point.

But we'll see what happens in the future.

I'd love to get your guys' take on Facebook and everybody kind of now it's sounding like they want to go in the direction of like not so much censorship, which sounds like a good luck.

Yeah.

I, you know, I inherited this activist post Facebook account that has 470,000 followers.

And I've been posting on there and I'll get like two

show he wants to and talk about how he's turned over a new leaf or he's a changed android or whatever he is,

but I'm not buying any of it. We're still as throttled as ever. Same on X. This, this, I,

oh, Elon Musk has restored free speech to the site. Really? When am I going to get some?

Yeah, I think, I think they're censoring whatever they don't like.

Well, I think there's like free speech, if I agree with you.

I was just talking to Ryan Christian about this the other day about like, I feel like

if he agrees with you, like he's okay with free speech.

And it could be stuff that's not censored.
