Podcasts about Censorship

From startling political alignments in state primaries to sweeping shifts across the national landscape, today's broadcast breaks down the biggest stories making headlines!

Are we witnessing the creation of a Chinese-style social credit system right here in America? Following a massive $17 billion legal settlement, social media platforms are being forced to roll out strict age verification tools, including mandatory facial scans and digital IDs to access accounts. We break down how these new regulations threaten total Internet anonymity, how state legislatures are pushing the surveillance state forward under the guise of protecting children, and what this means for your private data, online freedom, and digital identity!

Lawfare Public Service Julia Curlee has written an article on the incentives facing intelligence community members when they are purged from government. Entitled “The Censorship Machine: Silencing the National Security Workforce,” and published on August 26, the piece explains why more former public servants are not speaking out about what they saw in government. She and former FBI Special Agent Mike Feinberg, now a Lawfare senior editor, joined Editor in Chief Benjamin Wittes to discuss the article, the pressures former officials are facing not to talk, and the sheer numbers who are keeping quiet.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.

Investigative journalist and O’Keefe Media Group founder James O’Keefe joins Tudor Dixon to reveal what his undercover investigations uncovered about vulnerabilities in America’s election system. O’Keefe takes Tudor inside his recent investigations in Michigan, Minnesota, Alaska, and California, including allegations involving non-citizen voting, voter ID requirements, absentee ballots, ballot harvesting, and Minnesota’s controversial voter “vouching” system. O’Keefe also discusses his investigation in Alaska involving Sen. Lisa Murkowski’s brother, the calls for his prosecution following his undercover reporting, and why he says his team carefully avoided illegally casting or obtaining ballots while documenting potential weaknesses in election safeguards. The conversation also turns to California, where O’Keefe says his reporting uncovered people paying homeless individuals to forge signatures on petitions and register to vote—an investigation he says ultimately resulted in an FBI arrest. Tudor and O’Keefe discuss the SAVE Act, election integrity, voter ID, censorship, the role of investigative journalism, and why O’Keefe believes exposing election vulnerabilities on camera is more powerful than simply telling Americans they exist.

Todd examines former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran's admission that the network is a liberal institution with little viewpoint diversity. He explains how ideological uniformity in journalism schools and newsrooms shapes coverage, treats conservatives as adversaries, and turns supposedly neutral reporting into political persuasion. Todd then highlights Moran's account of ABC editors, lawyers, standards officials, and Dr. Anthony Fauci reshaping a 2021 report about the COVID-19 lab-leak theory, arguing that the episode exposes institutional censorship and the media's failure to provide Americans with trustworthy information.

Mark is joined by Amy Sousa, a Women's Rights Advocate based in Washington State, to discuss recent controversies surrounding fan attire and apparel rules at WNBA games, the ongoing national debate over protecting women's sports categories, public reactions to athlete statements, and the importance of safeguarding fairness and privacy in women's athletics.

In 2024, at the height of Israel's US-backed genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, one of the most widespread waves of college campus protests since the Vietnam War exploded across the United States. Then came the repressive backlash. Over the past two years, we've seen a harrowing assault on free speech and the right to protest from the federal government and Zionist organizations, and universities themselves have ramped up their own internal surveillance and repression machines, weaponizing them against their own students, grad students, and faculty.Life, learning, and activism on American college campuses looks very different today than it did in 2024, but the student-led Palestine solidarity movement is not going away. As a new school year begins, we speak with four students at different college campuses across the University System of Maryland (USM), who are all organizers and members of the USM Divestment Coalition for Palestine, about how the movement is maintaining its demands and adapting its tactics in 2026.Additional links/info:USM DIvestment Coalition for Palestine website, Instagram, and LinktreeDiamondback Staff, The Diamondback, “USM students call for divestment from defense companies at Board of Regents meeting”Credits:Audio Post-Production: Alina NehlichBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

Chuck And Julie Show with Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden COVID Reckoning, Fauci Fallout, and the Culture-War Fight Over Women's Sports Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden host The Chuck and Julie Show with guest Dr. Brian Joondeph for a sharp political and cultural discussion on COVID-era policy, Fauci logs and accountability, media complicity, medical trust, censorship, midterms, the WNBA transgender-athlete controversy, and broader debates over science, institutions, race, gender, and political power. In December of 2020 Dr.Brian Joondeph was criticized for what a liberal writer called his “contrarian” COVID views. Turns out Joondeph was right… while Fauci lied to us all along. He joins the show today to let us know if the reporter ever corrected his story. Guest Spotlight: Dr. Brian Joondeph This episode of The Chuck and Julie Show, hosted by Chuck Bonniwell and Julie Hayden, features guest Dr. Brian Joondeph, identified in the corrected transcript as a guest commentator and physician. The transcript notes that statements involving politics, medicine, COVID policy, elections, race, gender, public figures, and other disputed topics are preserved as speaker claims and opinions rather than verified facts. COVID Contrarians, Fauci, and the Westword Article Chuck and Julie open by introducing Dr. Brian Joondeph and revisiting a 2020 Westword column that had described his COVID views as contrarian. Julie asks whether the writer has followed up now that, in her view, more information has emerged supporting many of the objections raised during the COVID era. Dr. Joondeph responds that he has not heard from the writer and jokes that Dr. Fauci's own diary appears to have been more “contrarian” than Fauci's public statements. This sets up the main interview theme: how public-health narratives were shaped, defended, enforced, and later left without clear accountability. Public-Health Rules, Censorship, and Institutional Trust The conversation moves into masks, distancing, PCR testing, COVID death counts, school closures, church closures, business shutdowns, riots, and the contradictions of elite behavior. Dr. Joondeph argues that physicians and commentators who challenged the COVID consensus risked professional punishment, censorship, deplatforming, or threats to their licenses. He also criticizes the use of PCR testing as a mass-screening tool and says COVID death numbers were overstated. Chuck and Julie frame the larger issue as a collapse of trust in journalists, doctors, public-health institutions, and political leaders who, in their view, pushed rules on the public while exempting themselves. Fauci Logs, Celebrity Culture, and Accountability The hosts and Dr. Joondeph then discuss newly discussed Fauci logs, diary entries, private communications, and public statements. Dr. Joondeph argues that Fauci said one thing privately and another publicly, especially around lab-origin possibilities, masks, distancing, and vaccine messaging. He also criticizes Fauci's celebrity status, describing him as starstruck and distracted by contact with famous figures while ordinary people were dealing with hospital isolation, mandates, and fear. Julie and Chuck repeatedly ask where accountability is, while Dr. Joondeph says the medical and media establishments still avoid a serious reckoning. Vaccines, Boosters, Medical Honesty, and Future Emergencies The interview continues into vaccine claims, booster injuries, hydroxychloroquine, ivermectin, Big Pharma influence, and the loss of faith in medical institutions. Dr. Joondeph says public-health officials and media figures made overconfident promises about vaccines preventing infection and transmission, when they should have been honest about uncertainty. He compares this to surgical practice, where a physician explains risks and probabilities rather than guaranteeing an outcome. The conversation ends with a warning that another emergency could be attempted in the future, possibly under a different label such as climate, and that local, state, and federal elections will determine how much resistance is possible. Caller Comment, Fauci Allegations, and the WNBA Turn After Dr. Joondeph leaves, Julie reads listener comments about Fauci, and caller Sherrie raises allegations connected to the BBC documentary Guinea Pig Kids, Celia Farber, AIDS drug testing, orphan children, and unmarked graves. Julie says she has not heard those claims and will look into them, while also expressing skepticism. The show then turns to the WNBA, Caitlin Clark, Sophie Cunningham, and the transgender-athlete debate. Julie says Dr. Joondeph has written about the WNBA at American Thinker, and the hosts argue that the controversy exposes what they see as contradictions in claims about sex, gender identity, athletic fairness, and women's sports. Royce White, Satire, and the WNBA Trans-Athlete Dilemma The hosts play an audio clip from former NBA player and political candidate Royce White, who says he sometimes identifies as a woman for the purposes of professional basketball and intends to declare for the WNBA draft. Julie and Chuck discuss this as satire meant to expose the league's dilemma: if the league says it respects gender identity, what happens when male professional athletes claim eligibility for women's basketball? They argue that the situation makes the debate absurd and forces the WNBA to confront the biological realities of elite athletic competition. The discussion remains framed through the hosts' viewpoint and political-cultural commentary. Midterms, Cambridge, Equality Claims, and Closing Tease The closing section broadens into midterms, the possible balance of power in Congress, intelligence-community influence, pharmaceutical companies, and a Cambridge professor named Jason Arday. Julie describes Arday's public backstory and says later scrutiny raised questions about his claims and scholarship. Chuck links the story to larger debates over equality, intelligence, sex differences, race, and institutional ideology, while Julie ties the same thinking back to the WNBA controversy. The episode closes with a preview of Janice Fiamengo's upcoming appearance and thanks to Dr. Joondeph, the Zoom audience, BBS, and the show's supporters.

THE CENSORS' THREAT TO ARTIn his latest Lowdown podcast, Nick Cohen talks to Sally Gimson, editor of Index on Censorship, discussing her report on censorship and the lack of political drama in the British arts scene. Sally explains that despite a strong left-wing political passion in the arts, there is a dearth of political theatre, with institutions playing it safe to avoid controversy. She describes how plays are now heavily workshopped and censored by committees, leading to bland and inoffensive productions. Sally highlights specific examples, such as the canceled production of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Royal Exchange in Manchester, which was deemed too political. Nick and Sally also discuss the chilling effect of funding dependencies, such as deals with China, and political pressures, particularly in Scotland where the SNP's dominance has stifled satire. Sally concludes with a critique of the self-censorship and institutional timidity that is rendering the arts irrelevant and apolitical.Read all about it!@SallyGimson is editor of @IndexCensorship, aTrustee of Abortion Talk.

On Meta, Abhinandan Sekhri asked whether the platform has the bandwidth to process takedown requests in India at that scale, or whether “it's actually a phase where it's the Wild West”. Independent tech journalist Abhishek Baxi agreed with that characterisation and explained that Meta's automated moderation system – a response to takedown requests in India doubling year on year – was behind the technical glitch that pulled down PM Modi's video from Facebook. Meta's global affairs chief had to fly down to apologise to IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw directly.Manisha Pande pointed to a recent instance where an interview with a CJP protester, conducted by Priyanshi Sharma, a journalist with Peak TV, was repeatedly taken down from Instagram and reinstated without explanation, alongside three of Newslaundry's own videos that are restricted in India. “I don't think these platforms are going to fight the freedom of speech fight for us,” she said. “They want to continue doing business here.”On the ruling establishment's inability to figure out Instagram like they did WhatsApp, Shardool added that it was “a sad fact that a government governing 1.4 billion people doesn't understand Instagram” and that “it takes one conversation with creators to understand how the platform works, but instead every viral trend is seen as a conspiracy.”Abhinandan went on to argue that US tech giants “don't have our interest in mind at all”, and would readily compromise on user protections if it meant preserving profit and market access, leaving Indians caught “between two [powers] who basically don't have your interest in mind.”Subscribe to watch the entire discussion.

From digital regulation and political pressure to economic influence and self-censorship, media freedom in Asia is being shaped by a range of subtle and evolving constraints. Rather than outright bans on reporting, many observers point to a process of "creeping censorship"—the gradual narrowing of space for independent journalism and public debate. How are these pressures playing out across Asia? What do they mean for journalists and media organisations? How are the changing political, technological, and economic realities reshaping the region's information environment?

Anthony Fauci pleads the Fifth more than 100 times, raising one unavoidable question: Why won't the media ask the questions every American should ask? RFK Jr.'s confrontation with CNN exposed far more than a disagreement over COVID. Together, these moments reveal a deeper crisis: the death of a press that once held government accountable. Anthony Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than 100 times after receiving one of the broadest presidential pardons in modern history, yet much of the legacy media showed little interest in examining the constitutional, legal, and political implications. At the same time, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s exchange with Dana Bash exposed how many journalists now defend government authority instead of challenging it. This episode goes far beyond COVID. It examines what happens when the media, bureaucracy, politicians, and powerful institutions stop holding one another accountable. Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the constitutional questions surrounding Fauci's testimony, the media's role during the pandemic, the collapse of journalistic skepticism, and why every American - Republican, Democrat, and Independent alike - must demand accountability before the next national emergency. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why Anthony Fauci's Fifth Amendment testimony raises major constitutional and legal questions. How RFK Jr.'s CNN interview challenged the media's COVID narrative and exposed the collapse of journalistic skepticism. Why emergency powers, censorship, and bureaucratic overreach threaten constitutional government and individual liberty. How the media, bureaucracy, politicians, and Big Tech reinforced one another instead of holding each other accountable. What concrete reforms can restore constitutional guardrails, government accountability, and a truly independent press. If you care about the Constitution, freedom of the press, government accountability, and the future of self-government, this episode is for you.

Dr. Kirk Moore never expected to become one of the most controversial doctors in America.After questioning COVID policies and helping people who didn't want the vaccine, the Utah plastic surgeon became the target of a federal investigation. He was arrested, faced decades in prison, spent time in jail, and ultimately watched his case become a national story before it was dismissed.In this episode, Jimmy and Dr. Moore discuss the events that led to his prosecution, the cost of standing by his convictions, what he learned about medicine and government during the pandemic, and why he says he would make the same decisions again.Whether you agree with his views or not, this conversation explores conviction, personal sacrifice, and the consequences of challenging powerful institutions.Follow Dr. Kirk Moore: IGFreedom Surgical Utah: IG

Anthropic paid $1.5 billion to settle claims over pirated books.

Mark Edge welcomes Light, a Bitcoin veteran since 2011, researcher, co-founder of Bitseed, and current team member at Alpen Labs, for a wide ranging conversation about the history of Bitcoin, where it stands today, and where it might be headed. They cover the block size debate, SegWit, the Lightning Network, self custody, zero knowledge proofs, and why Light believes the onus is on Bitcoin developers to make Bitcoin the best tool for the job rather than shaming people for using alternatives.

Anthony Fauci is back in the hot seat!

The truth is bursting out, and the mainstream media can't cover it up anymore!

The truth is finally coming out, and it is bigger than anyone imagined!

Are we expecting enough from our kids? From a 12-year-old swimming through deadly waves to save his family to a 16-year-old lifeguard pulling off a fearless riptide rescue, incredible young heroes are proving what kids are truly capable of!

Greg and Ed tackle the uncomfortable topic of self-censorship in Thailand, especially as it pertains to the podcast itself, and the churning, roiling issue of what you can say, when, and how, which seem to be in the news every day. Although it is unfortunate, the reality of working and living in Thailand is that the laws and culture are not the same as back home in the U.S. and Canada. Obviously, this means no discussion of the monarchy, and Ed explains how he always advises visiting friends to simply avoid discussion of the monarchy and royal family in pretty much any context. This is good advice for all foreigners in Thailand actually. Second, the boys concur that although they do criticize the government broadly, they make sure not to name specific politicians or policymakers. Although technically no law forbids it, strong and pointed criticism of the Thai government has a way of ending up poorly for the critic, from sudden problems with your visa to (in extreme cases) outright disappearance. On a podcast that is not centered on political issues, it just ain't worth the risk, and while the guys feel comfortable critiquing the government broadly, that's about as far as they are willing to go. Last, Greg and Ed discuss Thailand's defamation laws, which work differently than the laws back home where 'truth' is more or less an absolute defense. In Thailand, even if you say something true, you can be found guilty of violating another person's privacy. As Ed put it, Thailand has a 'mind your own business' culture, as opposed to the 'speak truth to power' culture we have back home. All this being said, the guys admit that self-censorship is fairly rare and not really a problem for a podcast focused on the serious (and sometimes silly) aspects of living in Thailand as a foreigner.

***This episode is not edited as it was recorded directly after Donald Trump's speech***Donald Trump went on primetime television to tell the country that America's elections are compromised. A few hours earlier, Stephen Miller gave a much quieter speech at the State Department that was far more alarming. While Trump ranted about voter fraud, voting machines, China, mail ballots and election “security,” Miller laid out a federal counterterrorism strategy aimed directly at the political left.In this episode, Robin breaks down both speeches, what NSPM-7 actually does, and why the administration's plan for the 2026 midterms goes far beyond campaign messaging. The language is already in place: disrupt, identify, defund, debank, arrest and prosecute.Trump's address got the live blogs, cable coverage and instant fact-checks. He repeated unsupported claims about noncitizen voters, Chinese interference, stolen voter data and compromised election machines. He also announced plans to involve federal agencies in state election systems, remove people from voter rolls and investigate officials tied to the alleged fraud.But while everyone was watching Trump, Stephen Miller was explaining what comes next.Speaking to foreign security officials at a State Department ministerial, Miller described the political left as a terrorism threat and defended NSPM-7, a national security directive that gives federal agencies a broad mandate to target organizations, activists and financial networks.And the scope does not stop with people accused of violence. It can reach donors, organizers, lawyers, bail funds, nonprofits and anyone the administration decides is supporting the wrong movement.The speech also went somewhere even darker. Miller attacked civil liberties, complained about juries refusing to convict people accused of assaulting ICE agents, and told the room that leftists do not look “normal” because their appearance reflects what is supposedly inside them.That language is not random. Robin traces its historical roots and explains why authoritarian movements so often describe political opponents as diseased, deformed, dangerous or visibly different. Once the enemy is defined by who they are instead of what they have done, there is no way to behave your way out of the category.Trump provides the spectacle. Miller provides the machinery and framework for what's to come. Together, the two speeches point toward a broader strategy for the 2026 midterms:• Destroy confidence in election results before voting begins• Push federal agencies deeper into state election systems• Purge voter rolls in the name of election security• Threaten media outlets that refuse to cooperate• Treat protest networks and organizers as terrorism infrastructure• Intimidate donors, lawyers, nonprofits and bail funds• Use financial pressure and debanking without waiting for criminal convictions• Export the framework through international intelligence sharingThis episode separates what the administration has actually done from what it has merely claimed.The franework is real. The evidence being used to justify it often is not.Trump's speech was the distraction. Stephen Miller's speech was the blueprint.The loud speech told America what to fear. The quiet speech explained what the government plans to do about it.Topics include Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, NSPM-7, the 2026 midterm elections, voter purges, election security, left-wing terrorism, debanking, civil liberties, ICE protests, jury trials, political repression, authoritarianism, fascism, voter fraud claims, media license threats and federal intervention in state elections.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/we-saw-the-devil-unfiltered-political-analysis--4433638/support.Website: http://www.wesawthedevil.comPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/wesawthedevilRobin's Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/robin_wstdTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/WeSawtheDevilInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/wesawthedevilpodcast.TikTok: tiktok.com/@wesawthedevilpolitics

President Trump addresses the nation tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern with major new declassified intelligence on foreign election interference and voting machine vulnerabilities. But before he even speaks, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is demanding networks censor the entire speech. On this episode of The Right Side, Doug Billings breaks down what this reveals about the left's confidence in our system and how the House's bold move attaching the SAVE America Act to a national security bill changes the game.Doug also connects the dots on the broader cultural assault: New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's controversial immigrant map that erased Little Italy and historic communities, the push to bring Ebonics back into California classrooms, and alarming polls showing growing sympathy for Hamas among younger Americans. This isn't random — it's the systematic replacement of America's melting-pot culture with tribalism and victimhood.Strong analysis, historical perspective, and real hope for the path forward. If you want to understand what tonight's speech really means for the future of the Republic, this is the episode you can't miss.Subscribe, leave a review, and share with fellow patriots — The Right Side delivers the unique conservative insight you won't find anywhere else.#TrumpSpeech #Trump #ElectionIntegrity #AOC #SaveAmericaAct #AmericaFirst #MAGA #Assimilation #CulturalWar #TheRightSide #DougBillings #fyp Support the show

Once you start paying attention to the words they parrot and the propaganda they push, it's far easier to hear the panic in democrats' voices when they're asked outside the Capitol if the media should refuse to cover the President's address tomorrow night. Censorship? Isn't that un-American? Joe Biden wants to tell you all about his new book... if you can understand what he says... and the "safest most secure election ever" has apparently never heard of Sidney Powell. Listen to the former federal prosecutor tell you ALL ABOUT the fraud in Fulton County, Georgia.
