This is how Marxism/Communism works, or Fascism for that matter. Someone disagrees with you then they should be silenced. It is such an anti-American mindset. I have little tolerance for this intolerant mindset that is promoted by people who think they are tolerant all the while.

Seems spot on to share this video on its 40 year anniversary. Absolutely haunting how confidently he spoke about it at the time, and how true it's become.

Leave it to a bobby to absolutely nail it.

and if any of you think ND has a Lou problem, it's really a you problem.

1. Censorship is weak and unamerican.
2. Not personally engaging with media and/or saying you aren't interested in media because it has a political bent you don't vibe with isn't censorship.
3. Lou Holtz is a legendary coach, a model citizen, and loves Notre Dame. I'd pick him up from the airport on a Friday during rush hour and grab his favorite fast food on the way.
4. I personally think he's been embarassing since his ESPN days and the idea of listening to a podcast with him sounds like torture. The fact that his early
guests are going to be a "who's who" of scumbag coaches presumably acting sanctimonious is just icing on the cake.

Now ask him about banning books.

So not only can Lou get under Day’s skin, but he can under some of yours. Smh
My skin crawled away when I saw the guest list.

Tim Brown and a bunch of dickwads. Surely Tony Dungy and Tim Tebow can carve out some time for Lou?

The Candice Owens and Alex Jones episodes should be fire.

The 2012 National Title debacle was an inside job perpetrated by Brian Kelly, Manti Teo, Robby Toma, and an extensive underground network of crisis actors.

The "Manti Got Catfished" thing was a false flag to hide what was REALLY happening.

You all aren't ready for that conversation, though.

How dare you Lou. Now I might have to listen to it if it’s getting liberals panties waded up.

I think there's two thought processes here. If you have the safe, anti-inflammatory guest it may result in no one tuning in. People feed on the opposite. Throw a little drama in and it will probably bring listeners. It's why the View is still inviting guests with opposing viewpoints and tends to keep a conservative on staff, they know the drama brings ratings.
On the other hand, if they keep bringing on guests with the same mindset they could end up alienating half their viewers that don't want to sift through the garbage. You'll lose people quicker than an Alec Baldwin talk show.

The US has a lonnnnng history of censorship, particularly if you were a "commie" or non-white.

Lou is 87. A good majority of the people he knows are of his same mindset, former players or dead.

I hope he gets better guests than what he's starting out with. For his own sake. Have Jimmy Johnson on there. That would be awesome.
