This episode was supposed to be live. YouTube shut it down anyway.

In this Tier1 Podcast episode, Chris Blau joins the show after our live stream was taken offline. Instead of folding, we recorded the episode regardless and released it in full. The details of the shutdown are addressed at the beginning of the episode.

The conversation covers free speech, platform control, censorship, and why continuing to speak matters even when systems try to silence the message. This episode captures an unfiltered discussion recorded in real time under pressure, without edits to soften the points being made.

If you want context on why the live stream was shut down and what was discussed after the cameras kept rolling, this episode delivers exactly that.

Merry Christmas.
