Summary

The Left Has Become Psychotic, And Its Truly Terrifying . The evidence has become overwhelming, we can see "the left" completely abandon its principles.The ACLU openly endorsing racial discrimination, refusing to defend free speech, hacker conferences getting shut down, and now we have "The Free Press" a non profit advocating AGAINST a free press.Today I saw the left wing group Free Press openly call for banning Alex Jones and I thought it was funny, the extreme irony. But after thinking about how they used to be and all the examples we have seen of the media openly defending Antifa and other fringe extremists it feels like the left has been over run by dogma and completely abandoned its principles.This is in no way a defense of the right but this is something that today truly terrifies me. They have abandoned reason and logic in favor of identitarian social justice and feminist zeal. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Alex Jones is a wacky dude. I've never been a big fan of his. I think some of his content
0:04.8	is entertaining and I know many of my friends who watch his stuff don't take him seriously.
0:09.3	They think it's funny when he rips his shirt off and yells and that's the kind of stuff they
0:12.4	watch from him. For the most part, no one that I know really watches him anymore. And I don't know
0:16.8	very many people who actually watched his content for serious news, but I do know he has many fans
0:21.8	who do. Regardless of my opinion of Alex Jones, he certainly has a right to say wacky things.
0:28.4	And recently as many of you know, you probably all know, he was basically purged from the internet.
0:34.3	Everything was banned. Well, the other day, Roku, which is an over-the-top system that allows
0:39.2	people to... It's kind of like Apple TV, you know, you download apps and you can watch shows.
0:43.1	The InfoWars app was placed on the Roku player. Some people noticed this and Roku made a statement
0:48.6	they said that basically because he hasn't broken any rules today, they're not going to ban him.
0:53.5	However, there was a backlash on Twitter or however it happened. I have no idea.
0:58.2	And they decided that you know what, they were going to ban him even though he didn't overtly break any rules.
1:02.9	I, for the most part, disagree with this. I think Alex Jones may have pushed the line a little bit,
1:08.4	but I don't personally. I've not seen him do things that are... You know, look, does he
1:13.6	publish fake news? Is that your opinion? You disagree with them? Sure fine, but Vox publishes fake news.
1:18.7	You know, the verge, in some instances, you know, CNN has had to issue retractions. So if we believe
1:24.9	in a free press, then you know what? Yeah, Alex Jones is right to say what he says. Even to an extent,
1:30.8	saying hyperbolic things, like the other day I covered a story where a woman posted something
1:35.6	that was kind of a veiled threat against Trump. And it wasn't even a crime. If you can do that,
1:39.8	then why is Alex Jones substantially worse? Now again, I said I'm not a big fan of the guy,
1:44.3	but I certainly believe in a right of people to express themselves on the internet. I truly believe
