In this episode of the Dudes and beer podcast host Christopher Jordan and Stephen Bishop sit down with investigative reporter and head of Daily News Collective, Jon Bowne to discuss the burning question, is America becoming a society of censorship? In the first part of the episode we discuss the recent issues regarding comments made by comedians Stephen Colbert and Bill Maher regarding President Donald Trump and his family. Were these “jokes” appropriate? Are comedians fully protected under the coverage of the First Amendment? Jon expresses his extreme displeasure with Bill Maher’s remarks and makes the case for his joke being wildly inappropriate which spurs a heated debate on the topic…is this the case? Jon Bowne throws down the gauntlet and challenges Bill Maher to a no holds bar 10 round grudge match in the ring to see who is the better man…will Bill Maher accept the invitation to the dance?! Are we even aware of the soft censorship being used on the media and the internet presently that sways the course and tide of public opinion? Is all speech protected by the First Amendment or is there a clear and distinct line drawn? Is the removal of statues around the country a beginning of the censorship of American history as we know it? How far does the Federal Government take the use of censorship and what form might we not know about? How do censorship and propaganda play hand in hand as a means of societal control? These questions and more pondered in this powerful episode of the Dudes and Beer podcast.
