The advised the content of this program has been documented to prevent and even cure liberalism, and listening may cause you to lean to the right. Here's your Conservative but Not Bitter host, Tod Huff. Well, thank you Glenn for that stellar introduction, and it is my pleasure to
be here as always, my friends. You know today on today's program, what I want to do here, there's an article out there that is in the stack of Stuff tod Huffshow dot com. Just go to the Stack of Stuff on the you'll find the link on the homepage and we put articles and things that we've talked about on this show on that on that page. And so, but this article is there. There's a disinformation expert, which just let that set in for a moment. Just let that set in for a
moment. A dis information expert reminds me of something I saw, something I saw I think this was from the Patriot Post. Here it is a little meme. What's it called when the people doing the fact checking are controlled by the same people doing the lying. And there's that's a great question. I mean, that's exactly what we've got today, the media, and we'll go through all this. The media, however, has lied to the people so much, so much, they've they've deceived people. Trump's caught them out as
the fake news. They went into meltdown mode. You know how this all would This is a an attack on our democracy. You can't be attacking the free press like that. Well you can't if they're lying. And the media is certainly certainly free to defend itself. But don't just say you can't say that. I mean, that's kind of the whole point of the First Amendment is to have a free exchange of ideas and so forth. Anyway, but
we've got disinformation experts. Now, we've got fact checkers, we've got disinformation experts, but we've got a disinformation a disinformation expert who's out there saying do not do your own research. And there's a whole bunch that comes from this that I want to get into today, and we will do that in due course. Before we do that, my friends, I want to ask you if you are looking for the ultimate natural natural health supplement. I know many
of you use supplements, different kinds vitamins and so forth. But are you looking for a natural health supplement like ze stags. Z Stak is a trusted brand. It was formulated by doctor Zelinko, it has clinically proven ingredients, and it's proudly manufactured right here in the good ol us of a z Stack is the choice of true patriots who want to fight against the corrupt medical system.

So disinformation expert here disinformation expert, which again is a lot to wrap your head around, because if you grew up in the era that had that had just the media, you understood that you were supposed to be getting you were supposed to be getting information from people, and then you were supposed to then be able to use that information to make decisions, to form opinions and all of that.
But the media, who by the way has been deceitful for a long time. This was not something that popped up overnight. The media has been duplicitous and deceitful, and they have used their power. They have used their authority not to give you information and to hold truth to power. They didn't use it to keep our elected officials in check. No no, no. They used it to further their They used it for their own personal interests, for
their own desires. In fact, much of what we read in the media today isn't about giving you information, no no, no. It's about creating. It's about creating a certain outcome. And that's where that's where we stand today with our media, and most people have unfortunately come to realize this, and so as a way to combat this, the media has come up with
all sorts of things. They've got their fact checkers. The fact checkers are there to hold whatever information that's being you know, set out there online or
on other news sources. The fact checkers are supposed to be independent. But it's interesting to me, as a student of media, as a student of things that pertain to the Constitution and the First Amendment and so forth, it's interesting to me that the media has had to replace themselves another group that's supposed to be viewed as this unbiased group of individuals because friends, the media is supposed to be unbiased the media, And I know it's laughable because because that's
not what we have today. I understand that it's it's a laughable concept that the media, the media is an unbiased group. But a journalist is supposed to be someone who presents a story, who shares information, who shares you know, different points of view as best that they can, removing themselves as completely as possible. Not there. They're not there to push you in a
certain direction or to elicit a particular response. They are there to, supposedly to get information out so that then we, the American people, or wherever you are in the entire world, the consumer, the reader, the viewer can then take that information and analyze or synthesize or break down, build up, fact check on your own whatever, and then come to your own come
to your own conclusion, come to your own opinions on these matters. Now that's of course not what is happening, and so they've had to come along and bring in fact checkers to do that. And now we've got disinformation experts, not just fact checkers, who are out there saying, oh, that's not right, that's false, that's false. We give this three pinocchios, we give this two stars, we give this whatever other form of measuring the
lie that there might be. You know, that's what they're out there doing today. The media used to play this role, but they the reason they can't anymore is because their credibility, their trustworthiness, has been flushed down the toilet. And it's because they've not been engaged in actual dalis. I remember
Rush talking about this years ago. Rush said he knew that there was going to be problems in journalism whenever whenever you would see people who were going to journalism school explain why they were in journalism school, and you had people who were there who would say, I'm here to you know, change the world or whatever, and hey, there's nothing wrong with having these grandiose sorts of objectives and dreams and so forth. But being a journalist is not you're really
removing yourself from the equation. If you do this correctly, you're supposed to present both sides of the story, as we said, and if you want to change the world, then go out there and try to be someone who's changing what's actually being said, entering, creating your own objections and you know, presenting your own ideas, like say an op ed writer, or like a talk show host or whatever, right, someone who's going to run for
office or whatever role that might be. But it's not journalists. Journalists is supposed to be. It's supposed to a good journalist. You really shouldn't even know what their personal ideas are because they are supposed to be a vehicle that is there to deliver the perspectives and the ideas to you, the consumer.
That's not what's happening. So now we've gotten to the point where disinformation experts disinformation, you know, they have to make it sound like that they love the term disinformation, which really is effectively the same thing as a as a fact checker, but disinformation expert that makes it sound more like, hey, this is a serious thing. This isn't just checking facts. We have to prevent against an attack from Russia or some foreign adversary. Which the problem from
my perspective is, I don't care who the disinformation is coming from. Disinformation is bad period. If the disinformation is coming from a group of communists that call themselves journalists. How is that any worse than disinformation coming from communists who
call themselves communists. I just to me, it's disinformation. It doesn't matter who it is, whether it's a Russian adversary or someone who's pretending to be my ally as a United States citizen or representative, or news media personality or whatever. What matters is the disinformation part, the lying part. But the
disinformation term is designed to make it sound more like we're previtting. You know, these these folks are serious throughout there trying to prevent Russia and China and Iran and all these all these adversaries on the geopolitical world stage from influencing our elections and our discourse here in the United States. But, my friends,
a lie is a lie, no matter who's telling it. It needs to be corrected, It needs to be exposed to the light, and we need to address it and get people to hear and understand the truth rather than to believe the line, no matter who it is that's uttering it. So here's an article the National Pulse dot com dis info expert tells people to avoid doing their own research. I love this. Just trust them, my friends,
if you just trust the media. The very same media that statistically very few people trust historically has proven to lie and deceive the American people in many individual instances. I'm reminded of Brian Williams when he told the story of being in a helicopter taking on fire. I mean, there's all sort of dan Rather, I remember the National Guard fake story that was designed to hurt President Bush prior to the presidential election, either of I don't know if it was two
thousand or four. It might have been four. I think it was for because I think it was against John Kerry, who, as Rush would say, served in Vietnam. So, but let's look at what this article, what this piece is talking about. The disinformation expert wants you wants me not to do our own research. Actually, before I do that, my friends, did you know gold has outperformed Gold has outperformed the S and P five hundred and the Dow since nineteen seventy one. That's when the US took the
dollar off of the gold standard. And so that's an interesting bit of information. Is that a coincidence? Well, when the US allowed people, I still every time it just allowed people, the government said you can own it, But now we're gonna let you again. It wasn't that nice when the government allowed people to own gold again. They reclassified gold as a commodity rather than a paper currency backstop. And that was despite the fact that the US
itself holds and hoardes the highest amount of physical gold in its reserve. All countries, all central banks, all major financial institutions, even the IMF, the International Monetary Fund itself own substantial gold holdings. If all these entities that are actually there to control our fiat paper money supply our fiat paper money system, if they all have physical gold, should you as well well? If you like to learn more about that, have a conversation about that to see
if gold makes sense for you. I encourage you to reach out to my friends at Harvard Goold Group. That's Harvard Gooldgroup dot com. You can use my name Todd. You'll get a two hundred and fifty dollars credit on your purchase should you decide to move forward with Harvard Goldgroup. At Harvard Gooldgroup dot com, promo code Todd gets you a two hundred and fifty dollar credit. So let's look here at this article again. This info expert tells people to
avoid doing their own research. In a recent panel discussion with Pennsylvania's Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt about trusting elections, Beth Schwonky, executive director of the Pit Disinformation Lab, told Pennsylvania voters not to do their own research and use only trusted sources. Well, what does that mean? Who are the trusted sources today? Would it be NPR? By the way, there's something in the stack of stuff, and time permitting, we'll get into this today.
But an MPR journalist basically has come out and said, hey, I understand why people no longer trust us, and a lot of people have lost trust in us because we told them how to think. So he's out there saying that, time permitting, I will get to that here, but that's just down the road. So but you got this person that comes out and says, look, you need to use trusted sources. Now. I remember in the early days of the Internet, back when Al Gore invented the Internet.
I remember the early days, and I thought, you know what, we have a scenario now, we have a scenario where people are no longer going to have to be funneled or be funneled to or get their information exclusively from people or organizations like the New York Times, the Washington Post, ABC News, NBC News. You get the idea, right, because all of those folks, and I remember, I remember through my own experiences, and I
would remember sometimes when Rush would do this. But the amount of stories, the amount of headlines that these news outlets would come up with that were the same virtually every day. In fact, Rush used to say, if you didn't read the New York Times, don't worry, you can read the take your pick the Washington Post. If you miss that, you could turn on NBC Nightly News. You could If you miss that, never fear, you
could watch ABC. If you didn't get tuned into that in time, you could go to this news outlet or that news outlet, Los Angeles Times, whatever the case may be, because they were all saying the same thing,
which in a sane world is absolutely not possible, right. I mean, at some point you have to ask yourself what level of collusion, a level of collusion was existing or does exist between these media outlets, and so many times now, certainly on a day's say, like nine to eleven, everybody's going to be talking about that for obvious reasons, But on an average maybe a slower, slower news day, the likelihood that say, the NBC Nightly
News, ABC, whatever it's called in CBS would all be talking whatever time that stuff comes on six or six thirty, they would all be talking about the same things more times than not. That seems incredibly unlikely, wouldn't you say that? It would seem incredibly incredibly unlikely, especially in fact, it would be impossible for this to happen every day or nearly every day for months
and years on end. But that's what's happened. That's what happened. And so in the early days of the Internet, I thought, Man, now people are actually going to have to well, they're going to have to talk about things that matter, because if they're not talking about things that matter to their consumer, to the person that is watching or listening to or reading information coming from this news source, they're going to go get it from somewhere else. Well, in a way, in a way that happened and in a
way that didn't happen. And I think there's a variety of reasons for this. I think a lot of this, a lot of the problem is to be blame or the problem is to be laid at the foot of the public edge cation system. People don't know how to think. And when I say how to think, I don't mean being told specifically what conclusions to draw, but being given and taught the skills that help you to become an independent, free thinker. And so it's easier for people. Don't tell me to weed
through all this stuff. Just tell me who to trust, right, tell me, tell me which news outlets are quote unquote trusted, and that's where I'll go and look. And so you've got a percentage of people that do that, But you've also got a percentage of people that go anywhere besides anywhere besides the quote unquote trusted sources. But this disinformation expert says, hey,
you better not do your own research. You better go to the trusted sources, the same people who have been giving us a line of crap for decades. Now, now back to this article, it says one thing everyone can do to make sure that they are seeing accurate information is to use trusted sources. Swunky said, So in eluction, that means using the Department of State, that means using your county elections office, it means using media organizations that
follow that adhere to professional journalism standards, like your local NPR affiliate. Now this is beautiful because this is written literally, I mean almost the same day that the journalists at NPR said, I understand why people don't trust this anymore. This person is out there saying trust your local MPR affiliate, and the
NPR journalists is saying, I understand why you don't trust us. And so this is a massive problem if you get down to it, the core of the problem here, This is one of the biggest problems that we have. I call I say that there's what's called the seven pillars of propaganda in our
system of government in our society today. And I list those seven pillars of propaganda I mentioned, well, the seven ar government academia, which would include higher education, colleges, universities, public schools, you know, just our public education system in general. We've got entertainment. We've got media, which
of course we're talking about media here. We've got science, we've got woke business, and we've got big tech social media technological companies that use their power to again further the leftist agenda, move us in a direction intentionally to feed us propaganda to feed us propaganda that gets us, the American people, to take steps that they want us to take. That is what we are dealing
with, and people have realized this. They might not think about it in terms of the seven pillars of propaganda, although I would highly advise that, but they at least know I can't trust these sources anymore. I don't know what to believe. And I think if we're getting down to it, that is what the average person would say. I don't trust anything I'm being told. I don't trust the media. I don't trust the government. I don't
trust the public schools. I don't trust what the Hollywood elites or the NFL players or the NBA players are out there telling us about. I don't trust science because they're funded by government and they of course become a well a partner in collusion to further the leftist cause. I don't believe these woke business company,
these companies who are engaging in di and all that stuff. I don't believe in these social media a big tech companies that are trying to push us to become more leftists, to give the government more control, whatever the case may be. And so that's a massive problem. So I'm going to continue
talking about this on the other side of the break. But my friends, let me tell you a little bit about nick Neck Naturals getting one of my favorite names to say of businesses that are partnered with and who sponsor advertise here on the program. They are in American small business. They prioritize customer health

Now they've created a mint that is designed to fully dissolve so that you don't have to deal with the smoke or the slimy pouches, any of this stuff that comes with cigarette smoking or chewing tobacco, even vaping.

Nickknack dot Com promo code Todd Quick time out my friends back in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So so so, so let's look here at continuing this conversation about, well, the disinformation expert doesn't want you out
there, doesn't want me out there doing our own research. You should just trust the people that they well, that they say are trusted sources, which just so happened on a completely unrelated, in an unrelated manner. It just so happens that all these folks are run by people who vote for Biden, vote for Democrats, who want to further the Democrat agenda for the little leftist
cause, and so forth, you're supposed to just trust them. Now, in in logic, in argument, right in debate, there's something called, we talked about this before, the appeal to authority. So that's when you're
debating someone about an issue. You're trying to make your case, and instead of actually making the case through logical argumentation or just you know, using logic and rationale and so forth, you say, well, the federal government says this, or this news outlet says that, and that's supposed to suffice. That's called an appeal to authority. So rather than actually demonstrating or strengthening your argument through logic, you just say, well, this person over here,
this group over here says that this is true. So suddenly you should You should just believe this, my friends. I think you should do your own research. I think you should do your own research. Now. I know that you the folks on this program, have folks listening to this program. You know, on the program, maybe one day you could be talking about some ways to make that happen. We'll see here. But anyway, I think you should do your own research. But I think that you are capable
of doing your own research because you know how to think. You haven't been trained, or you've broken the the intention of our public school system. If you went through public school, you've broken the chains of being following what to think. You've learned to become an independent freethinker, and that is the first prerequisite. Now, the danger, said, The danger lies in saying to people who haven't learned how to be freethinkers, to say, do your own
research, because then where does that lead. Now. I still believe people should be free to do that. I'm just simply saying now they are playing right into the hands of these people who are telling them what to think. If you don't know how to think, it's the default is you go to the people who tell you what to think and that's really what they the radical left, the seven pill propaganda want you want me to believe. That's what
they want us. It's how they want us to operate. Now, we live in a high information world, right we have information at our fingertips, I mean just within within arms reach of me. Right now. I've got a desktop computer, my iMac, I've got an iPhone, I've got an iPad, and I've got my brain. But I can, at any moment in time, and we all have this virtually any moment in time, go to the World Wide Web and I can search for information. Now that's wonderful
in one sense. Information is at our fingertips, but so many people don't know what to do with that information. In fact, I had a teacher in high school. I don't know if I had him in junior high or none. He's passed away recently. His name was mister Shukla. He was from India. He was He taught my goodness, advance math. He taught chemistry, he taught physics, he taught trionometry, he taught calculus. I'm probably leaving out a few subjects. I don't know if I don't think he
taught biology. But again lots of things, incredibly incredibly brilliant man, A good guy. I always liked mister Shukkel. I seemed to get his humor, maybe because I'm a little dorky, but I understood his humor. Smart guy. But I remember him telling us one day he couldn't understand why the rest of us weren't as smart as smart as him on these you know, on math or whatever it was. And I remember one day we had taken a test and we had all done pretty abysmally. But as mister Shukel would
often say, well, you're a good kid. I give you an A for that paper, even though you by percentages you got about a twenty five percent or some such maybe not that low, but you had a very very bad grin. But because you're a good kid, mister Shuklu would give you bonus points and bump you up into into their grades that you were maybe used
to getting. But anyway, I remember I remember him saying, you know, you know, kids, you grab the calculator, you push one plus one and it tells you fivey two hundred and thirty and you're write it on the paper, right, you have you just you just plug in you punch in some numbers. You don't know why you're plugging him in. You're punching him in the wrong way, or you're plugging something in that you shouldn't know
and understand, but it's telling you. It's outputting something that's completely contrary, completely contradictory to everything that is logical and reasonable. Yet you write it down, right, You either you either trust what the calculator tells you even though you don't know what to put into it, or you input the right thing it outputs the right thing, and then you know, you just you don't know. You don't know what to do with it because you don't understand it
on your own right. You don't don't have a good enough, a solid enough understanding to know how to use what you're being told or to properly know how to input it. And that's what's happening in this Google world that we live in. We have knowledge, there's knowledge, there's wisdom, and there's understanding. Knowledge is facts and information. People love knowledge. People love to be able to say I know the capital of Australia, or I know how
many nautical miles it is from here to there. I know this, or I know that you got all sorts of people like this on social media. In a lot of ways, these people might be the danger the most dangerous if they only have knowledge and they don't know what that knowledge really means, they don't know how to apply it. This is where understanding and wisdom come into play. This is where I think so many crazy sorts of I guess you could say conspiracy theories come into play. But knowledge is facts, it's
information, it's skills. This is through the definition I've found researching prior to the program and its skills acquired by a person through experience or education. Now, understanding is the power of comprehending. It's comprehension. It's not just knowing the raw figures. It's it's having an understanding about what that means. It's having an understanding about what it means to I mean, take your pick,
whatever fact that you want to that you want to rely upon. Here the population density of some you know, Mexico City and Tokyo versus Casper, Wyoming, and understanding having an ability to comprehend maybe what that means from a practical matter, the way that land is being used, and just having a just a deeper understanding of how those things, what they might mean in real life, and how to well, just just some depth to that information, not
just the raw numbers. Now I'm beginning to understand why why something may matter. And then wisdom is the ability or the results of an ability to think and act utilizing knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight. So wisdom is really kind of putting it together. So knowledge is kind of the raw information. Understanding is getting some depth to that information, building it out dimensionally, getting some heights, some width, and some depth to it.
And then wisdom is actually knowing how to assemble those blocks and to make sense of things. And Google can't. Google can't do that for you. Google can't do that for anybody. Google is just pumping out raw information, raw data. And then, just like with the case with mister Shukla, my teacher, you have people who are taking one plus one and then they're told that it equals five, two hundred and thirty and they just write it
down because they don't have understanding and they don't have wisdom. They don't know what to do with all this information that is at their fingertips. And this the STEM is largely back to the reality that most people are taught or most people focus on what to think versus how to think. How many people cram for exams, people who are studying biology or whatever I mean. And you memorize answers, you memorize the what, but you don't understand the how.
You don't have the depth and the understanding and the wisdom. And this is a dangerous, dangerous thing, very dangerous thing. So more to say on this, and I'm still going to plug in the rest of this article. We've been referencing here as well, which is why they the disinformation experts, don't want you to do your own research. Instead, they want you to trust the radical, well the media at least, I would say the radical
is running the seven pillars of propaganda, which include the media. But we'll get to that after this break. But did you know heart disease, my friend, has taken the lives of seven hundred Americans in each of the last two years.

All right, my friends, So we've been talking about, well, the disinformation experts that do not want you to do your own research. They want you to trust the experts. They want you to trust your local NPR affiliate, even as and I won't have time to get to it, but it is in the stack of stuff if you want to read that
piece. It's actually pretty long, but it's worth reading. While an NPR why an MPR journalist says, Hey, I understand why people don't trust us because we've been telling him how to think. Now he meant how to think differently than what I've been talking about here today I think teaching someone, giving someone the skills to become a free, independent thinker, is a good thing.
This is what our public schools should be doing. They should be focusing on, you know, the what, and more on the how, more on giving people the skill set to learn how to think, not how to think, like let me tell you specifically what to think, but the process, the skill set, I should say, to teach someone to be a free and independent thinker. So anyway, you ever listened to NPR by some of you might listen to NPR. I I've never been able to do it.
I just I can't get past it's it's so it's so emotionless and dry and I don't know, it's just a lot of Today we're brought to you by sponsor x y Z in London, England. Today there's actually no there's no emotion in the voice. I just I don't know. It's hard for me to listen to that. But some people it's their thing, whatever, whatever, whatever. But this this disinformation expert says, hey trust NPR,
but don't trust other other outlets. So when it can take you going back to this article, which we've referenced a few times earlier, it says this, and it doesn't just well, hold on, and it doesn't mean you know, doing your own research and just asking questions and sharing you know, posts from I don't know. In my case it's Uncle Joe, right. It means being thoughtful about where your sources are coming from. Now, this
is a very important thing to understand. Now, there are certain ideas, my friends, There are certain ideas that you don't You don't need sources to tell you other information about to fill in the gaps. Let me give you an example. You don't need to be told by a trusted source that having an unfaithful spouse is a bad thing. You don't need an independent source, a trusted source. You're the trusted source, right, You're the trusted source
to determine, to use logic to say certain behavior is reprehensible. Certain ideas are actually good to implement freedom. For example, you don't need independent sources to give you information about why liberty is a good thing. Now, certainly you can read on it, and you can build upon the ideas that you
already have. But these things, my friends, are things that we can figure out just through the process of just sitting down and thinking about and maybe writing some stuff down, just you know, journaling, writing these thoughts out, because we can come to conclusions that are good. We don't need we don't need a source. Now. What we need a source on is when
we're being told something happened. Is when we're being told, for example, what happened on January sixth, Well, let's look at what happened on January six and let's look at what we were told about what happened on January sixth. We had Adam Kinsinger and Liz Cheney and a bunch of Democrats put together this sham j six committee. They gave us Adam Kinsinger was crying for his
country as he questioned witnesses and so forth during these sham proceedings. But yet the narrative we were given and I'm not look the people that broke laws that you need to pay consequences for that. But there was a whole lot of context that we were not allowed to see, a whole lot of information that they withheld from us, They deliberately lied to us. I'm reminded of George
Zimmerman. George Zimmerman when there's a recorded nine to one one call and it cut out the part where the nine on one operator asked the race of the person that he was calling the police on, and it makes it sound like George Zimmerman just picked up the phone and said, Hey, there's a black guy in my neighborhood. And then, of course we know what happened from the rest of the story. But that's not what happened. He said, hey, there's someone who looks suspicious. The nine to one operator said,
what's the race of the person? He says, he looks black, Trayvon Martin. So they constantly deceive us to fit into a narrative in the case of Black Lives Matter or in the case of Trump, arranged a coup to overthrow the government. They have violated our trust, my friends, and that's not my fault that they violated my trust, and it's not your fault. It is their fault. So what are we supposed to do as the consumer? You know? I mean, someone tell me what am I supposed to
do? I assume that these people have an angle every time they tell me anything. But I don't know specifically what happened in a me or what was reported to have happened behind closed doors. I don't know what happened somewhere where I wasn't. I have to trust people to tell me. But the problem is none of us know who to trust anymore. None of us know. I mean, you know to trust me here, and you have your other trusted sources. But a lot of these places they're not media, they don't
have they're not doing true journalism. They're just basically trying to communicate larger truths or ideas that matter in this country. And all the while we're just told to trust these so called trusted sources who are completely untrusted, untrustworthy. Anyway, I'm out of time here, my friends, got to take a break, quick time out.
