Jimmy Dore: 参议院共和党人刚刚通过了一项法案，允许支付应用以意识形态为由拒绝服务。他指出，这种做法已经在加拿大卡车司机抗议强制疫苗时发生过，并且支付平台如Gray Zone和Jackson Hinkle的账户也被封禁。Jimmy认为，消费者金融保护局的规则禁止支付应用无故封禁用户，我们需要这个机构来保护消费者免受滥用权力的侵害。他还提到，共和党人自称是‘言论自由党’，但他们的行为与此相矛盾。 Kurt Metzger: Kurt指出，共和党人在言论自由问题上与民主党人划清了界限，但他们并不真正支持言论自由。他认为，共和党人只是利用了民主党在疫情期间的审查行为，但实际上他们并不支持言论自由，尤其是在支付平台封禁用户的问题上。

Shownotes Transcript

Senate Republicans on Wednesday passed a measure to allow payment apps like Venmo and PayPal to return to ideological debanking—repealing a rule implemented in December by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Repeal of the rule would leave users of the apps in limbo, as the laws protecting consumers would still be in place, but the rule enforcing the law—and the bureau with the capacity to enforce it—would not.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the bill, which has not yet passed in the House, and how it will allow these payment app companies to deny service to individuals or groups on ideological grounds.

Plus segments on Americans’ declining support for Israel, Matt Taibbi’s perspective on why the left should support Kash Patel’s efforts to reform the FBI and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s bellicose rhetoric toward China.

Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Al Pacino!
