Here's your Conservative but Not Bitter host, Tod Huff. Well, 5 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:39.600 thank you Glenn for that stellar introduction, and it is my pleasure to 6 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:45.039 be here as always, my friends. You know today on today's program, 7 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:48.600 what I want to do here, there's an article out there that is in 8 00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:52.840 the stack of Stuff tod Huffshow dot com. Just go to the Stack of 9 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:58.679 Stuff on the you'll find the link on the homepage and we put articles and 10 00:00:58.719 --> 00:01:03.320 things that we've talked about on this show on that on that page. And 11 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:07.640 so, but this article is there. There's a disinformation expert, which just 12 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.159 let that set in for a moment. Just let that set in for a 13 00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:18.879 moment. A dis information expert reminds me of something I saw, something I 14 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:26.599 saw I think this was from the Patriot Post. Here it is a little 15 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:30.079 meme. What's it called when the people doing the fact checking are controlled by 16 00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.599 the same people doing the lying. And there's that's a great question. I 17 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:38.040 mean, that's exactly what we've got today, the media, and we'll go 18 00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:42.040 through all this. The media, however, has lied to the people so 19 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:47.200 much, so much, they've they've deceived people. Trump's caught them out as 20 00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.280 the fake news. They went into meltdown mode. You know how this all 21 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.000 would This is a an attack on our democracy. You can't be attacking the 22 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.560 free press like that. Well you can't if they're lying. And the media 23 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:05.079 is certainly certainly free to defend itself. But don't just say you can't say 24 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.479 that. I mean, that's kind of the whole point of the First Amendment 25 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:12.840 is to have a free exchange of ideas and so forth. Anyway, but 26 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:17.879 we've got disinformation experts. Now, we've got fact checkers, we've got disinformation 27 00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:23.000 experts, but we've got a disinformation a disinformation expert who's out there saying do 28 00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:30.360 not do your own research. And there's a whole bunch that comes from this 29 00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:35.479 that I want to get into today, and we will do that in due 30 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.919 course.

So disinformation expert 42 00:03:54.960 --> 00:04:01.840 here disinformation expert, which again is a lot to wrap your head around, 43 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:10.960 because if you grew up in the era that had that had just the media, 44 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:16.399 you understood that you were supposed to be getting you were supposed to be 45 00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:23.079 getting information from people, and then you were supposed to then be able to 46 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:29.079 use that information to make decisions, to form opinions and all of that. 47 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.600 But the media, who by the way has been deceitful for a long time. 48 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:39.439 This was not something that popped up overnight. The media has been duplicitous 49 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:46.480 and deceitful, and they have used their power. They have used their authority 50 00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:53.079 not to give you information and to hold truth to power. They didn't use 51 00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:57.639 it to keep our elected officials in check. No no, no. They 52 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.879 used it to further their They used it for their own personal interests, for 53 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.920 their own desires. In fact, much of what we read in the media 54 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:12.360 today isn't about giving you information, no no, no. It's about creating. 55 00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:18.399 It's about creating a certain outcome. And that's where that's where we stand 56 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:26.240 today with our media, and most people have unfortunately come to realize this, 57 00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.439 and so as a way to combat this, the media has come up with 58 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:33.439 all sorts of things. They've got their fact checkers. The fact checkers are 59 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:41.680 there to hold whatever information that's being you know, set out there online or 60 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.639 on other news sources. The fact checkers are supposed to be independent. But 61 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.879 it's interesting to me, as a student of media, as a student of 62 00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:54.920 things that pertain to the Constitution and the First Amendment and so forth, it's 63 00:05:54.959 --> 00:06:00.199 interesting to me that the media has had to replace themselves another group that's supposed 64 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:05.240 to be viewed as this unbiased group of individuals because friends, the media is 65 00:06:05.279 --> 00:06:12.240 supposed to be unbiased the media, And I know it's laughable because because that's 66 00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.199 not what we have today. I understand that it's it's a laughable concept that 67 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:21.560 the media, the media is an unbiased group. But a journalist is supposed 68 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:30.959 to be someone who presents a story, who shares information, who shares you 69 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:36.480 know, different points of view as best that they can, removing themselves as 70 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:43.199 completely as possible. Not there. They're not there to push you in a 71 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:49.120 certain direction or to elicit a particular response. They are there to, supposedly 72 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:57.240 to get information out so that then we, the American people, or wherever 73 00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.600 you are in the entire world, the consumer, the reader, the viewer 74 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:10.759 can then take that information and analyze or synthesize or break down, build up, 75 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.000 fact check on your own whatever, and then come to your own come 76 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:18.680 to your own conclusion, come to your own opinions on these matters. Now 77 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:23.800 that's of course not what is happening, and so they've had to come along 78 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:28.439 and bring in fact checkers to do that. And now we've got disinformation experts, 79 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:30.639 not just fact checkers, who are out there saying, oh, that's 80 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:34.680 not right, that's false, that's false. We give this three pinocchios, 81 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:41.160 we give this two stars, we give this whatever other form of measuring the 82 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:44.800 lie that there might be. You know, that's what they're out there doing 83 00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:48.000 today. The media used to play this role, but they the reason they 84 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:55.879 can't anymore is because their credibility, their trustworthiness, has been flushed down the 85 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.759 toilet. And it's because they've not been engaged in actual dalis. I remember 86 00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:05.199 Rush talking about this years ago. Rush said he knew that there was going 87 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:09.160 to be problems in journalism whenever whenever you would see people who were going to 88 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:16.800 journalism school explain why they were in journalism school, and you had people who 89 00:08:16.959 --> 00:08:20.720 were there who would say, I'm here to you know, change the world 90 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.040 or whatever, and hey, there's nothing wrong with having these grandiose sorts of 91 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:33.720 objectives and dreams and so forth. But being a journalist is not you're really 92 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.480 removing yourself from the equation. If you do this correctly, you're supposed to 93 00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.960 present both sides of the story, as we said, and if you want 94 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.960 to change the world, then go out there and try to be someone who's 95 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:52.240 changing what's actually being said, entering, creating your own objections and you know, 96 00:08:52.519 --> 00:08:56.879 presenting your own ideas, like say an op ed writer, or like 97 00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.960 a talk show host or whatever, right, someone who's going to run for 98 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.799 office or whatever role that might be. But it's not journalists. Journalists is 99 00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:09.399 supposed to be. It's supposed to a good journalist. You really shouldn't even 100 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:15.759 know what their personal ideas are because they are supposed to be a vehicle that 101 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:20.919 is there to deliver the perspectives and the ideas to you, the consumer. 102 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.000 That's not what's happening. So now we've gotten to the point where disinformation experts 103 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:31.559 disinformation, you know, they have to make it sound like that they love 104 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:37.200 the term disinformation, which really is effectively the same thing as a as a 105 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:43.320 fact checker, but disinformation expert that makes it sound more like, hey, 106 00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.039 this is a serious thing. This isn't just checking facts. We have to 107 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:52.720 prevent against an attack from Russia or some foreign adversary. Which the problem from 108 00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.279 my perspective is, I don't care who the disinformation is coming from. Disinformation 109 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:03.600 is bad period. If the disinformation is coming from a group of communists that 110 00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:11.480 call themselves journalists. How is that any worse than disinformation coming from communists who 111 00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:18.000 call themselves communists. I just to me, it's disinformation. It doesn't matter 112 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:24.600 who it is, whether it's a Russian adversary or someone who's pretending to be 113 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:31.360 my ally as a United States citizen or representative, or news media personality or 114 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:35.440 whatever. What matters is the disinformation part, the lying part. But the 115 00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:39.039 disinformation term is designed to make it sound more like we're previtting. You know, 116 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.080 these these folks are serious throughout there trying to prevent Russia and China and 117 00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:52.279 Iran and all these all these adversaries on the geopolitical world stage from influencing our 118 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:54.559 elections and our discourse here in the United States. But, my friends, 119 00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.279 a lie is a lie, no matter who's telling it. It needs to 120 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:03.720 be corrected, It needs to be exposed to the light, and we need 121 00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:09.600 to address it and get people to hear and understand the truth rather than to 122 00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.960 believe the line, no matter who it is that's uttering it. So here's 123 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:20.320 an article the National Pulse dot com dis info expert tells people to avoid doing 124 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.279 their own research. I love this. Just trust them, my friends, 125 00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.840 if you just trust the media. The very same media that statistically very few 126 00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:37.799 people trust historically has proven to lie and deceive the American people in many individual 127 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:43.799 instances. I'm reminded of Brian Williams when he told the story of being in 128 00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:46.120 a helicopter taking on fire. I mean, there's all sort of dan Rather, 129 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:54.600 I remember the National Guard fake story that was designed to hurt President Bush 130 00:11:54.919 --> 00:12:00.000 prior to the presidential election, either of I don't know if it was two 131 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:01.159 thousand or four. It might have been four. I think it was for 132 00:12:01.240 --> 00:12:05.279 because I think it was against John Kerry, who, as Rush would say, 133 00:12:05.320 --> 00:12:09.440 served in Vietnam. So, but let's look at what this article, 134 00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:15.399 what this piece is talking about. The disinformation expert wants you wants me not 135 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:20.120 to do our own research. Actually, before I do that, my friends, 136 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.759 did you know gold has outperformed Gold has outperformed the S and P five 137 00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:28.799 hundred and the Dow since nineteen seventy one. That's when the US took the 138 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.600 dollar off of the gold standard. And so that's an interesting bit of information. 139 00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:39.919 Is that a coincidence? Well, when the US allowed people, I 140 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:43.600 still every time it just allowed people, the government said you can own it, 141 00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:46.080 But now we're gonna let you again. It wasn't that nice when the 142 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:52.759 government allowed people to own gold again. They reclassified gold as a commodity rather 143 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.639 than a paper currency backstop. And that was despite the fact that the US 144 00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:03.679 itself holds and hoardes the highest amount of physical gold in its reserve. All 145 00:13:03.720 --> 00:13:09.600 countries, all central banks, all major financial institutions, even the IMF, 146 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:16.720 the International Monetary Fund itself own substantial gold holdings. If all these entities that 147 00:13:16.799 --> 00:13:22.480 are actually there to control our fiat paper money supply our fiat paper money system, 148 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.480 if they all have physical gold, should you as well well? If 149 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:30.679 you like to learn more about that, have a conversation about that to see 150 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.840 if gold makes sense for you. I encourage you to reach out to my 151 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.639 friends at Harvard Goold Group. That's Harvard Gooldgroup dot com. You can use 152 00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:43.279 my name Todd.

This info expert tells people to 156 00:13:58.799 --> 00:14:05.679 avoid doing their own research. In a recent panel discussion with Pennsylvania's Secretary of 157 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:13.799 the Commonwealth Al Schmidt about trusting elections, Beth Schwonky, executive director of the 158 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:18.279 Pit Disinformation Lab, told Pennsylvania voters not to do their own research and use 159 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:24.200 only trusted sources. Well, what does that mean? Who are the trusted 160 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:26.039 sources today? Would it be NPR? By the way, there's something in 161 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.480 the stack of stuff, and time permitting, we'll get into this today. 162 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:35.039 But an MPR journalist basically has come out and said, hey, I understand 163 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:43.000 why people no longer trust us, and a lot of people have lost trust 164 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.559 in us because we told them how to think. So he's out there saying 165 00:14:46.639 --> 00:14:50.759 that, time permitting, I will get to that here, but that's just 166 00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.279 down the road. So but you got this person that comes out and says, 167 00:14:54.279 --> 00:15:01.039 look, you need to use trusted sources. Now. I remember in 168 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:05.559 the early days of the Internet, back when Al Gore invented the Internet. 169 00:15:05.799 --> 00:15:09.039 I remember the early days, and I thought, you know what, we 170 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:16.679 have a scenario now, we have a scenario where people are no longer going 171 00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:22.320 to have to be funneled or be funneled to or get their information exclusively from 172 00:15:22.559 --> 00:15:30.120 people or organizations like the New York Times, the Washington Post, ABC News, 173 00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:33.039 NBC News. You get the idea, right, because all of those 174 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:37.879 folks, and I remember, I remember through my own experiences, and I 175 00:15:37.879 --> 00:15:41.639 would remember sometimes when Rush would do this. But the amount of stories, 176 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:50.279 the amount of headlines that these news outlets would come up with that were the 177 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:54.519 same virtually every day. In fact, Rush used to say, if you 178 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.440 didn't read the New York Times, don't worry, you can read the take 179 00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:02.080 your pick the Washington Post. If you miss that, you could turn on 180 00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:04.799 NBC Nightly News. You could If you miss that, never fear, you 181 00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.279 could watch ABC. If you didn't get tuned into that in time, you 182 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:12.279 could go to this news outlet or that news outlet, Los Angeles Times, 183 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:17.120 whatever the case may be, because they were all saying the same thing, 184 00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:21.759 which in a sane world is absolutely not possible, right. I mean, 185 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.559 at some point you have to ask yourself what level of collusion, a level 186 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:34.519 of collusion was existing or does exist between these media outlets, and so many 187 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.960 times now, certainly on a day's say, like nine to eleven, everybody's 188 00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:45.720 going to be talking about that for obvious reasons, But on an average maybe 189 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:52.200 a slower, slower news day, the likelihood that say, the NBC Nightly 190 00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:57.279 News, ABC, whatever it's called in CBS would all be talking whatever time 191 00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.200 that stuff comes on six or six thirty, they would all be talking about 192 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:07.160 the same things more times than not. That seems incredibly unlikely, wouldn't you 193 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:12.400 say that? It would seem incredibly incredibly unlikely, especially in fact, it 194 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:18.119 would be impossible for this to happen every day or nearly every day for months 195 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.160 and years on end. But that's what's happened. That's what happened. And 196 00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:23.119 so in the early days of the Internet, I thought, Man, now 197 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:29.519 people are actually going to have to well, they're going to have to talk 198 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:33.359 about things that matter, because if they're not talking about things that matter to 199 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:38.480 their consumer, to the person that is watching or listening to or reading information 200 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.359 coming from this news source, they're going to go get it from somewhere else. 201 00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:47.920 Well, in a way, in a way that happened and in a 202 00:17:47.960 --> 00:17:52.039 way that didn't happen. And I think there's a variety of reasons for this. 203 00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:56.200 I think a lot of this, a lot of the problem is to 204 00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:59.720 be blame or the problem is to be laid at the foot of the public 205 00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:03.279 edge cation system. People don't know how to think. And when I say 206 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.839 how to think, I don't mean being told specifically what conclusions to draw, 207 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:11.839 but being given and taught the skills that help you to become an independent, 208 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:17.640 free thinker. And so it's easier for people. Don't tell me to weed 209 00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:19.960 through all this stuff. Just tell me who to trust, right, tell 210 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:26.359 me, tell me which news outlets are quote unquote trusted, and that's where 211 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:29.319 I'll go and look. And so you've got a percentage of people that do 212 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:33.920 that, But you've also got a percentage of people that go anywhere besides anywhere 213 00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:38.960 besides the quote unquote trusted sources. But this disinformation expert says, hey, 214 00:18:38.960 --> 00:18:44.160 you better not do your own research. You better go to the trusted sources, 215 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:48.119 the same people who have been giving us a line of crap for decades. 216 00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.839 Now, now back to this article, it says one thing everyone can 217 00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:56.279 do to make sure that they are seeing accurate information is to use trusted sources. 218 00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:02.240 Swunky said, So in eluction, that means using the Department of State, 219 00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:07.359 that means using your county elections office, it means using media organizations that 220 00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:18.839 follow that adhere to professional journalism standards, like your local NPR affiliate. Now 221 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:23.079 this is beautiful because this is written literally, I mean almost the same day 222 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:27.960 that the journalists at NPR said, I understand why people don't trust this anymore. 223 00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:34.799 This person is out there saying trust your local MPR affiliate, and the 224 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:40.559 NPR journalists is saying, I understand why you don't trust us. And so 225 00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.960 this is a massive problem if you get down to it, the core of 226 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:48.079 the problem here, This is one of the biggest problems that we have. 227 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:55.240 I call I say that there's what's called the seven pillars of propaganda in our 228 00:19:55.359 --> 00:20:00.440 system of government in our society today. And I list those seven pillars of 229 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:07.559 propaganda I mentioned, well, the seven ar government academia, which would include 230 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:14.200 higher education, colleges, universities, public schools, you know, just our 231 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:18.200 public education system in general. We've got entertainment. We've got media, which 232 00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:22.240 of course we're talking about media here. We've got science, we've got woke 233 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:30.279 business, and we've got big tech social media technological companies that use their power 234 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:34.440 to again further the leftist agenda, move us in a direction intentionally to feed 235 00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:40.720 us propaganda to feed us propaganda that gets us, the American people, to 236 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:45.960 take steps that they want us to take. That is what we are dealing 237 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.559 with, and people have realized this. They might not think about it in 238 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:52.799 terms of the seven pillars of propaganda, although I would highly advise that, 239 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:59.559 but they at least know I can't trust these sources anymore. I don't know 240 00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:03.240 what to believe. And I think if we're getting down to it, that 241 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.400 is what the average person would say. I don't trust anything I'm being told. 242 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.880 I don't trust the media. I don't trust the government. I don't 243 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:15.200 trust the public schools. I don't trust what the Hollywood elites or the NFL 244 00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:21.000 players or the NBA players are out there telling us about. I don't trust 245 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:27.920 science because they're funded by government and they of course become a well a partner 246 00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:34.039 in collusion to further the leftist cause. I don't believe these woke business company, 247 00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:38.400 these companies who are engaging in di and all that stuff. I don't 248 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:42.720 believe in these social media a big tech companies that are trying to push us 249 00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:48.559 to become more leftists, to give the government more control, whatever the case 250 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.880 may be. And so that's a massive problem. So I'm going to continue 251 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.839 talking about this on the other side of the break. But my friends, 252 00:21:56.200 --> 00:21:59.559 let me tell you a little bit about nick Neck Naturals getting one of my 253 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.440 favorite names to say of businesses that are partnered with and who sponsor advertise here 254 00:22:04.440 --> 00:22:11.000 on the program.

Nickknack 263 00:22:51.599 --> 00:22:57.279 dot Com promo code Todd Quick time out my friends back in just a minute. 264 00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:07.359 Welcome back, my friends. So so so, so let's look here 265 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:14.880 at continuing this conversation about, well, the disinformation expert doesn't want you out 266 00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.799 there, doesn't want me out there doing our own research. You should just 267 00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:23.640 trust the people that they well, that they say are trusted sources, which 268 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:30.640 just so happened on a completely unrelated, in an unrelated manner. It just 269 00:23:30.680 --> 00:23:33.000 so happens that all these folks are run by people who vote for Biden, 270 00:23:33.079 --> 00:23:38.200 vote for Democrats, who want to further the Democrat agenda for the little leftist 271 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.720 cause, and so forth, you're supposed to just trust them. Now, 272 00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:52.039 in in logic, in argument, right in debate, there's something called, 273 00:23:52.079 --> 00:23:56.559 we talked about this before, the appeal to authority. So that's when you're 274 00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:59.960 debating someone about an issue. You're trying to make your case, and instead 275 00:23:59.960 --> 00:24:07.359 of actually making the case through logical argumentation or just you know, using logic 276 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:12.559 and rationale and so forth, you say, well, the federal government says 277 00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:17.599 this, or this news outlet says that, and that's supposed to suffice. 278 00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:23.039 That's called an appeal to authority. So rather than actually demonstrating or strengthening your 279 00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:27.319 argument through logic, you just say, well, this person over here, 280 00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:33.880 this group over here says that this is true. So suddenly you should You 281 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.759 should just believe this, my friends. I think you should do your own 282 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.240 research. I think you should do your own research. Now. I know 283 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:47.000 that you the folks on this program, have folks listening to this program. 284 00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.640 You know, on the program, maybe one day you could be talking about 285 00:24:51.720 --> 00:24:55.720 some ways to make that happen. We'll see here. But anyway, I 286 00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:00.519 think you should do your own research. But I think that you are capable 287 00:25:00.920 --> 00:25:07.119 of doing your own research because you know how to think. You haven't been 288 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:14.000 trained, or you've broken the the intention of our public school system. If 289 00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:19.119 you went through public school, you've broken the chains of being following what to 290 00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:26.119 think. You've learned to become an independent freethinker, and that is the first 291 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:33.480 prerequisite. Now, the danger, said, The danger lies in saying to 292 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.559 people who haven't learned how to be freethinkers, to say, do your own 293 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.119 research, because then where does that lead. Now. I still believe people 294 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.720 should be free to do that. I'm just simply saying now they are playing 295 00:25:45.799 --> 00:25:49.880 right into the hands of these people who are telling them what to think. 296 00:25:51.160 --> 00:25:53.160 If you don't know how to think, it's the default is you go to 297 00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:59.079 the people who tell you what to think and that's really what they the radical 298 00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:03.880 left, the seven pill propaganda want you want me to believe. That's what 299 00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:07.799 they want us. It's how they want us to operate. Now, we 300 00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:12.799 live in a high information world, right we have information at our fingertips, 301 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:17.279 I mean just within within arms reach of me. Right now. I've got 302 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:22.160 a desktop computer, my iMac, I've got an iPhone, I've got an 303 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.680 iPad, and I've got my brain. But I can, at any moment 304 00:26:26.720 --> 00:26:30.359 in time, and we all have this virtually any moment in time, go 305 00:26:30.640 --> 00:26:37.720 to the World Wide Web and I can search for information. Now that's wonderful 306 00:26:37.759 --> 00:26:41.880 in one sense. Information is at our fingertips, but so many people don't 307 00:26:41.920 --> 00:26:47.519 know what to do with that information. In fact, I had a teacher 308 00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:51.039 in high school. I don't know if I had him in junior high or 309 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:56.119 none. He's passed away recently. His name was mister Shukla. He was 310 00:26:56.200 --> 00:27:00.119 from India. He was He taught my goodness, advance math. He taught 311 00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:08.079 chemistry, he taught physics, he taught trionometry, he taught calculus. I'm 312 00:27:08.119 --> 00:27:11.039 probably leaving out a few subjects. I don't know if I don't think he 313 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:18.920 taught biology. But again lots of things, incredibly incredibly brilliant man, A 314 00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:25.799 good guy. I always liked mister Shukkel. I seemed to get his humor, 315 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:30.119 maybe because I'm a little dorky, but I understood his humor. Smart 316 00:27:30.119 --> 00:27:34.440 guy. But I remember him telling us one day he couldn't understand why the 317 00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:38.319 rest of us weren't as smart as smart as him on these you know, 318 00:27:38.440 --> 00:27:42.400 on math or whatever it was. And I remember one day we had taken 319 00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:48.000 a test and we had all done pretty abysmally. But as mister Shukel would 320 00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.319 often say, well, you're a good kid. I give you an A 321 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:56.359 for that paper, even though you by percentages you got about a twenty five 322 00:27:56.400 --> 00:27:59.559 percent or some such maybe not that low, but you had a very very 323 00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:03.039 bad grin. But because you're a good kid, mister Shuklu would give you 324 00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.519 bonus points and bump you up into into their grades that you were maybe used 325 00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.799 to getting. But anyway, I remember I remember him saying, you know, 326 00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:17.079 you know, kids, you grab the calculator, you push one plus 327 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:19.279 one and it tells you fivey two hundred and thirty and you're write it on 328 00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:23.079 the paper, right, you have you just you just plug in you punch 329 00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.920 in some numbers. You don't know why you're plugging him in. You're punching 330 00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:30.920 him in the wrong way, or you're plugging something in that you shouldn't know 331 00:28:32.640 --> 00:28:36.480 and understand, but it's telling you. It's outputting something that's completely contrary, 332 00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:41.400 completely contradictory to everything that is logical and reasonable. Yet you write it down, 333 00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:45.039 right, You either you either trust what the calculator tells you even though 334 00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:49.640 you don't know what to put into it, or you input the right thing 335 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:53.920 it outputs the right thing, and then you know, you just you don't 336 00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:57.599 know. You don't know what to do with it because you don't understand it 337 00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:02.079 on your own right. You don't don't have a good enough, a solid 338 00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:07.960 enough understanding to know how to use what you're being told or to properly know 339 00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:11.720 how to input it. And that's what's happening in this Google world that we 340 00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:15.480 live in. We have knowledge, there's knowledge, there's wisdom, and there's 341 00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:21.799 understanding. Knowledge is facts and information. People love knowledge. People love to 342 00:29:21.799 --> 00:29:26.319 be able to say I know the capital of Australia, or I know how 343 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.640 many nautical miles it is from here to there. I know this, or 344 00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:33.680 I know that you got all sorts of people like this on social media. 345 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.839 In a lot of ways, these people might be the danger the most dangerous 346 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:41.759 if they only have knowledge and they don't know what that knowledge really means, 347 00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:45.200 they don't know how to apply it. This is where understanding and wisdom come 348 00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:48.079 into play. This is where I think so many crazy sorts of I guess 349 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:55.079 you could say conspiracy theories come into play. But knowledge is facts, it's 350 00:29:55.160 --> 00:30:00.319 information, it's skills. This is through the definition I've found researching prior to 351 00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:06.599 the program and its skills acquired by a person through experience or education. Now, 352 00:30:06.720 --> 00:30:11.200 understanding is the power of comprehending. It's comprehension. It's not just knowing 353 00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:15.920 the raw figures. It's it's having an understanding about what that means. It's 354 00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:22.200 having an understanding about what it means to I mean, take your pick, 355 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:26.079 whatever fact that you want to that you want to rely upon. Here the 356 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:32.680 population density of some you know, Mexico City and Tokyo versus Casper, Wyoming, 357 00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:38.519 and understanding having an ability to comprehend maybe what that means from a practical 358 00:30:38.599 --> 00:30:44.640 matter, the way that land is being used, and just having a just 359 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:49.440 a deeper understanding of how those things, what they might mean in real life, 360 00:30:49.599 --> 00:30:55.279 and how to well, just just some depth to that information, not 361 00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:59.680 just the raw numbers. Now I'm beginning to understand why why something may matter. 362 00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:04.119 And then wisdom is the ability or the results of an ability to think 363 00:31:04.160 --> 00:31:08.640 and act utilizing knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight. 364 00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:14.480 So wisdom is really kind of putting it together. So knowledge is kind of 365 00:31:14.359 --> 00:31:18.160 the raw information. Understanding is getting some depth to that information, building it 366 00:31:18.160 --> 00:31:22.759 out dimensionally, getting some heights, some width, and some depth to it. 367 00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:26.839 And then wisdom is actually knowing how to assemble those blocks and to make 368 00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.480 sense of things. And Google can't. Google can't do that for you. 369 00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:37.240 Google can't do that for anybody. Google is just pumping out raw information, 370 00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:40.920 raw data. And then, just like with the case with mister Shukla, 371 00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:45.200 my teacher, you have people who are taking one plus one and then they're 372 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.880 told that it equals five, two hundred and thirty and they just write it 373 00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:53.559 down because they don't have understanding and they don't have wisdom. They don't know 374 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:59.200 what to do with all this information that is at their fingertips. And this 375 00:32:00.000 --> 00:32:05.000 the STEM is largely back to the reality that most people are taught or most 376 00:32:05.039 --> 00:32:10.079 people focus on what to think versus how to think. How many people cram 377 00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:15.000 for exams, people who are studying biology or whatever I mean. And you 378 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:22.039 memorize answers, you memorize the what, but you don't understand the how. 379 00:32:22.160 --> 00:32:24.799 You don't have the depth and the understanding and the wisdom. And this is 380 00:32:24.839 --> 00:32:31.680 a dangerous, dangerous thing, very dangerous thing. So more to say on 381 00:32:31.720 --> 00:32:35.039 this, and I'm still going to plug in the rest of this article. 382 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:39.079 We've been referencing here as well, which is why they the disinformation experts, 383 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:43.799 don't want you to do your own research. Instead, they want you to 384 00:32:43.839 --> 00:32:49.400 trust the radical, well the media at least, I would say the radical 385 00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:53.559 is running the seven pillars of propaganda, which include the media.

Quick time out back here in just 398 00:33:53.920 --> 00:34:14.519 a minute. All right, my friends, So we've been talking about, 399 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:19.119 well, the disinformation experts that do not want you to do your own research. 400 00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.679 They want you to trust the experts. They want you to trust your 401 00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:28.320 local NPR affiliate, even as and I won't have time to get to it, 402 00:34:28.360 --> 00:34:30.760 but it is in the stack of stuff if you want to read that 403 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:36.800 piece. It's actually pretty long, but it's worth reading. While an NPR 404 00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:40.920 why an MPR journalist says, Hey, I understand why people don't trust us 405 00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:46.039 because we've been telling him how to think. Now he meant how to think 406 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:51.559 differently than what I've been talking about here today I think teaching someone, giving 407 00:34:51.559 --> 00:34:55.079 someone the skills to become a free, independent thinker, is a good thing. 408 00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:59.760 This is what our public schools should be doing. They should be focusing 409 00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:04.760 on, you know, the what, and more on the how, more 410 00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.559 on giving people the skill set to learn how to think, not how to 411 00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:13.679 think, like let me tell you specifically what to think, but the process, 412 00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:16.039 the skill set, I should say, to teach someone to be a 413 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:22.239 free and independent thinker. So anyway, you ever listened to NPR by some 414 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:24.239 of you might listen to NPR. I I've never been able to do it. 415 00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:31.679 I just I can't get past it's it's so it's so emotionless and dry 416 00:35:31.760 --> 00:35:37.679 and I don't know, it's just a lot of Today we're brought to you 417 00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:43.960 by sponsor x y Z in London, England. Today there's actually no there's 418 00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:46.440 no emotion in the voice. I just I don't know. It's hard for 419 00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:50.199 me to listen to that. But some people it's their thing, whatever, 420 00:35:50.760 --> 00:35:54.679 whatever, whatever. But this this disinformation expert says, hey trust NPR, 421 00:35:54.760 --> 00:36:00.800 but don't trust other other outlets. So when it can take you going back 422 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:05.679 to this article, which we've referenced a few times earlier, it says this, 423 00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:08.559 and it doesn't just well, hold on, and it doesn't mean you 424 00:36:08.639 --> 00:36:13.360 know, doing your own research and just asking questions and sharing you know, 425 00:36:13.480 --> 00:36:15.880 posts from I don't know. In my case it's Uncle Joe, right. 426 00:36:16.400 --> 00:36:22.400 It means being thoughtful about where your sources are coming from. Now, this 427 00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:29.159 is a very important thing to understand. Now, there are certain ideas, 428 00:36:29.480 --> 00:36:37.119 my friends, There are certain ideas that you don't You don't need sources to 429 00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:40.039 tell you other information about to fill in the gaps. Let me give you 430 00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:51.159 an example. You don't need to be told by a trusted source that having 431 00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:57.360 an unfaithful spouse is a bad thing. You don't need an independent source, 432 00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:02.480 a trusted source. You're the trusted source, right, You're the trusted source 433 00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:08.079 to determine, to use logic to say certain behavior is reprehensible. Certain ideas 434 00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:15.599 are actually good to implement freedom. For example, you don't need independent sources 435 00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:21.199 to give you information about why liberty is a good thing. Now, certainly 436 00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:24.119 you can read on it, and you can build upon the ideas that you 437 00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:28.400 already have. But these things, my friends, are things that we can 438 00:37:28.440 --> 00:37:35.719 figure out just through the process of just sitting down and thinking about and maybe 439 00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:42.360 writing some stuff down, just you know, journaling, writing these thoughts out, 440 00:37:42.719 --> 00:37:45.840 because we can come to conclusions that are good. We don't need we 441 00:37:45.880 --> 00:37:50.199 don't need a source. Now. What we need a source on is when 442 00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:53.760 we're being told something happened. Is when we're being told, for example, 443 00:37:53.800 --> 00:37:59.960 what happened on January sixth, Well, let's look at what happened on January 444 00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:05.440 six and let's look at what we were told about what happened on January sixth. 445 00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:09.000 We had Adam Kinsinger and Liz Cheney and a bunch of Democrats put together 446 00:38:09.079 --> 00:38:15.760 this sham j six committee. They gave us Adam Kinsinger was crying for his 447 00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:22.199 country as he questioned witnesses and so forth during these sham proceedings. But yet 448 00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:28.519 the narrative we were given and I'm not look the people that broke laws that 449 00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:31.440 you need to pay consequences for that. But there was a whole lot of 450 00:38:32.639 --> 00:38:37.440 context that we were not allowed to see, a whole lot of information that 451 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:42.519 they withheld from us, They deliberately lied to us. I'm reminded of George 452 00:38:42.719 --> 00:38:51.400 Zimmerman. George Zimmerman when there's a recorded nine to one one call and it 453 00:38:51.440 --> 00:38:55.320 cut out the part where the nine on one operator asked the race of the 454 00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.960 person that he was calling the police on, and it makes it sound like 455 00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.360 George Zimmerman just picked up the phone and said, Hey, there's a black 456 00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:06.960 guy in my neighborhood. And then, of course we know what happened from 457 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:08.679 the rest of the story. But that's not what happened. He said, 458 00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:12.400 hey, there's someone who looks suspicious. The nine to one operator said, 459 00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:17.480 what's the race of the person? He says, he looks black, Trayvon 460 00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:27.239 Martin. So they constantly deceive us to fit into a narrative in the case 461 00:39:27.239 --> 00:39:31.400 of Black Lives Matter or in the case of Trump, arranged a coup to 462 00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:37.119 overthrow the government. They have violated our trust, my friends, and that's 463 00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:40.639 not my fault that they violated my trust, and it's not your fault. 464 00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:47.360 It is their fault. So what are we supposed to do as the consumer? 465 00:39:49.760 --> 00:39:51.880 You know? I mean, someone tell me what am I supposed to 466 00:39:51.920 --> 00:39:54.239 do? I assume that these people have an angle every time they tell me 467 00:39:54.280 --> 00:40:00.360 anything. But I don't know specifically what happened in a me or what was 468 00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:07.519 reported to have happened behind closed doors. I don't know what happened somewhere where 469 00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.280 I wasn't. I have to trust people to tell me. But the problem 470 00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:15.320 is none of us know who to trust anymore. None of us know. 471 00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:17.519 I mean, you know to trust me here, and you have your other 472 00:40:17.559 --> 00:40:22.280 trusted sources. But a lot of these places they're not media, they don't 473 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:29.119 have they're not doing true journalism. They're just basically trying to communicate larger truths 474 00:40:29.239 --> 00:40:34.239 or ideas that matter in this country. And all the while we're just told 475 00:40:34.320 --> 00:40:39.719 to trust these so called trusted sources who are completely untrusted, untrustworthy. Anyway, 476 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:42.400 I'm out of time here, my friends, got to take a break, 477 00:40:42.480 --> 00:40:43.519 quick time out. STG
