This week I spoke with an old friend and inspiration—comedian, author, commentator and activist Lee Camp. We’re all over the place in a cathartic conversation about independent media, censorship, Supreme Court antics, Julian Assange, the presidential election and more.

0:02.0 | Hey on fuckers, welcome back to UNFTR. |
0:15.0 | So we have an interesting one today because much of the work that my guest has done over the years, |
0:23.1 | not available. Why? Totally censored. It's a really, really interesting, fascinating story |
0:29.9 | that I can't wait to dig into. Because like many of us who've become politically sentient, |
0:36.1 | I'll say, over the past 20 or 30 years, there's been a shift. |
0:41.0 | And for me, that shift, I think like a lot of people, was during the war on terror years. |
0:46.8 | It became very difficult to discern fact from fiction. |
0:51.2 | And so the anger post-9-11 was replaced on one hand by this disillusionment. And on the |

1:32.2 | I watched his stuff in every format and every form that you could possibly do, that you |
1:37.7 | could possibly consume it, and sort of became hooked. |
1:41.6 | And to set up the interview today, I wanted to read one of my favorite |
1:46.0 | quotes about our guest. It's from investigative journalist Greg Pallas, who said, Lee Camp has |
1:53.4 | found the hole in America's brain where reason has been replaced by Walmart. Lee's rants channeled |
2:00.7 | the gunk oozing out. |
2:02.7 | I love that. |
2:04.4 | And so let's talk about some moments of clarity, |
2:07.3 | and it's my great, great pleasure to welcome the great Lee Camp to the show. |
