<p>Elon Musk, Twitter, X, Free Speech, Censorship, Trump, US Election, Liberty, End The Fed, Nostr, Federal Reserve, Bitcoin, Libertarianism.</p> <p>Timothy Allen talks with Natalie Danelishen.</p> <p>It is election week in the US, so I thought we should get some feedback from a local this week.</p> <p>Natalie is well-embedded in the political quagmire as a well-followed Twitter influencer, tweeting about liberty and freedom. One of Elon's favourite libertarians, she even got Javier Milei to retweet a photo from the conference this year. Well done, Nat!</p> <p>We recorded this conversation a few days before the election, so we didn't know the result. However, as you'll hear, Natalie was pretty confident that Trump would win through.</p> <p>This is a very informal chat touching on money, politics, social media, and freedom in general.</p> <p>Enjoy the conversation.</p> <p>Video version of this episode: <a href="https://youtu.be/K7Zx5ANwD-A">https://youtu.be/K7Zx5ANwD-A</a></p> <p>Free Cities Podcast on Fountain: ⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://fountain.fm/show/xudG4tsYH5TimGLfAmqn⁠⁠⁠⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://fountain.fm/show/xudG4tsYH5TimGLfAmqn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Contact the podcast: <a href="mailto:[email protected]">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Free Cities Telegram Community: <a href="⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://t.me/+im6c6r4jQkUzMjU0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://t.me/+im6c6r4jQkUzMjU0⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>LIBERTY IN OUR LIFETIME CONFERENCE: <a href="⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://libertyinourlifetime.org/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Make a small weekly donation to support the show:</p> <p>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠<a href="https://www.patreon.com/FreeCitiesPodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/FreeCitiesPodcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>TIMESTAMPS:</p> <ul> <li>(00:30) Introduction</li> <li>(06:05) Beginning of conversation</li> <li>(07:16) Thomas Massie introduced a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve</li> <li>(08:20) Worries about Trump becoming the 'saviour of humanity' since nearly getting shot</li> <li>(11:34) There are some things about the Trump administration that still worry me</li> <li>(13:40) Why do non-Americans follow US politics?</li> <li>(15:58) A Scottish comedian was arrested for teaching his dog to do a Nazi salute</li> <li>(20:19) Why do some people care strongly about trans issues and others don't</li> <li>(24:29) Should we end the furries?</li> <li>(27:49) Algorithms and social media</li> <li>(34:14) Nostr is censorship resistant</li> <li>(37:25) Nostr is a protocol like Bitcoin</li> <li>(40:34) What do you think Trump's detractors get wrong about him?</li> <li>(43:54) Why isn't the US prospering under the democrat administration?</li> <li>(50:19) I think the United States dollar has to collapse for Bitcoin to win</li> <li>(54:57) Twitter is fragile</li> <li>(56:57) The mainstream media isn't mainstream anymore</li> <li>(01:01:21) Twitter has given people access to unlimited information</li> <li>(01:06:13) Twitter will become the Everything app</li> <li>(01:10:27) Does a president actually run the country?</li> <li>(01:18:13) Ancient civilizations in North America</li> <li>(01:21:00) Let's talk about hope</li> <li>(01:22:08) Trump will win</li> <li>(01:26:28) Banning Trump on X</li> <li>(01:33:15) Historically people always went off and searched for frontiers</li> <li>(01:36:12) Finding your own freedom in an unfree world</li> </ul> <p>NOSTR:</p> <p>Timothy Allen: [email protected]</p> <p>Free Cities Foundation: npub1lsj8pmgedqqamt89c27tzjjnlf0wn7q7udjm7j2cl9xxz97eacns2mwpee</p> <p>TWITTER:</p> <p>Natalie Danelishen: <a href="https://x.com/Chesschick01">https://x.com/Chesschick01</a></p> <p>Timothy Allen: ⁠<a href="https://twitter.com/MrTimothyAllen⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/MrTimothyAllen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>Free Cities Foundation: ⁠<a href="https://twitter.com/freecitiesfound⁠">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/freecitiesfound⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p> <p>LINKS:</p> <p>Free Cities Foundation: ⁠<a href="https://free-cities.org/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://free-cities.org/⁠</a></p>
