This week, in spite of some technical difficulties, Flavius and Jake discuss Twitter's fact checking of President Trump, how it relates to the First Amendment, and the possible why the tabloid offerings of either side reporting on the former didn't want to mention the latter.

Additionally, at the start we discuss the protests and riots that have occurred regarding the death of George Floyd with special consideration of the words of Civil Rights pioneers in the 1960s (as well as the band Sublime).
