Welcome back to the ModState Podcast.

As "Cancel Culture" become a more mainstream topic of conversation John and Nate organically dive into the the concept of canceling and changing the narrative. This is not an all encompassing discussion of "Cancel Culture", but a beginning discussion of the goals and consequences of canceling discussion and more importantly the consequence of changing narratives that may not need to be changed.

Welcome back to the ModState Podcast.

On this episode John and Nate dive into what Nate calls, "2016 PTSD." By all signals Hillary Clinton had the last presidential election in the bag. Somewhere the majority of analysts and media outlets were proved wrong.
Recent polls out show that Biden is ahead in the polls but a large majority of Democratic voters feel that there is a large number of silent voters ready to cast their ballot for President Trump. Is this fear unfounded? Is there a large chance of this happening or is this "2016 PTSD?"

Tune in and have a listen.

Welcome back to the ModState Podcast.

**Disclaimer** John meant to say Loretta Lynch when referencing Susan Rice and Joe Biden.

In this episode John and Nate dive into two different topics. The topics meld together through the episode. Nate proposes that the GOP are at a pivotal time to rebrand themselves from the party of Trump to the party of the GOP they once were.

Throughout the episode the conversation pivots to tough questions for Nate. The overall national conversation has been about race, social justice, and a new America. How should we be helping underprivileged communities. Is a Biden presidency just another crony administration? Or is it a way to reset?

Race can be a tricky topic to navigate as two white male hosts. In an effort to move forward in America. The goal should be to create a more equitable society so there are ample opportunities for listening and conversation.

Welcome back to the ModState Podcast.

After two big SCOTUS wins for the LBGTQ community and some protection for Dreamers, (Jack) DeViney and Nate dive into the implications for each.

As we know the win for Dreamers does not mean they will be able to stay or that there is a path to citizenship however the SCOTUS determined that the Trump administration did not have a good argument. How does this look in the future.

In the second half of the episode, the pair then dive into the difference of opinion regarding the Title VII win for the LBGTQ community. How does this play in the religious community?

As the protests in America continue the cries for reform continue. In this episode John and Nate continue to build upon the previous episode to discuss the merits and criticism of defending police departments. Additionally, the team clarifies what they meant by "defund".

As always the ModState team stands in solidarity with those who are fighting for a more equitable and just world.

Welcome back to the ModState Podcast.

The ModState team stands in solidarity with those who are feeling pain and suffering in these times. The fight isn't over until there is equality of opportunity and these times have shed an uncomfortable light on the reality of America today.

John and Nate discuss the recent events, protest and unrest, in the United States, following the death of an unarmed black man, George Floyd. The discussion seaways into the leadership of the President of the United States and ends with a demand for systemic change in a broken system.

In light of the nation wide protest ModState will stand principled for the freedom of speech and the right to demonstrate. Maybe the most important constitutional right of them all.

Be safe.

Welcome back to the ModState Podcast.

John and Nate reconvene to discuss several topics. This podcast discusses the lead up to the presidential election in about 6 months.

Is reopening the states because of his in ability to hold these rallies.

The team then discusses Twitter warnings after the president sends untrue tweets.

Nate presses John about Christian religious groups pushing back against government to open their churches when Jesus taught his followers to respect the laws of the land.

All in all it is gearing up to be a wild ride to the 2020 presidential election. How do you feel about the chances of President Trump retaking the White House?

Covid-19, Bill Gates (and the amazing technicolor "Conspiracies without Theories"), and Joe "This is a Big F***ing Deal" Biden (D-DE) versus Donald "Grab 'Em by the [Meow]" Trump (R-FL)…

...whew! All by his lonesome again, Jack DeViney probably needed to follow Hunter S. with drink or four plus a visit with Miss Jane outdoors, but alas! It was not to be. SAD!

As promised, we did our due diligence and provide links regarding our research and statements in the episode, and they're cited below as follows:

https://bing.com/covid?form=COVD07 - the latest numbers on Covid-19 cases, deaths and recoveries. You can view the numbers from all of Earth, by country or by state (if you're in America; not sure about north and south Holland).

https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/bill-gates-vaccinations-depopulation/ - Snopes fact-check showing that, no, Gates did NOT say the idea behind giving away vaccines and potable drinking water systems to developing nations was to reduce the population (i.e., kill people). Not even close, actually. Lie better, Bobby, Jr.!

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/18/bill-and-melinda-gates-bet-on-this-biotech-to-develop-zika-vaccine.html - will Moderna avail itself of the $100 million (of his own money) Bill Gates has made available to the firm in their bid to have a breakthrough?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZMwKPmsbWE - "End of Ze World" clocks in at roughly 90 seconds. Yes, as in 1.5 minutes, so I hope y'all can endure the heavy toll it exacts upon you. Video creators and their marathons, I swear.
