Hour of Decision Episode 23: Bad Thinking

[00:00:00] It's midnight in America and this is the Hour of Decision.

[00:00:05] My name is Lou Moore. Tonight we're going to talk about bad thinking. Bad thinking. Bad thinking is bad.

[00:00:17] So what causes bad thinking in humans? Can it be their education or lack of it?

[00:00:25] So I've got in my hands right now the sixth MacGuffey reader.

[00:00:30] I don't know if you've ever heard of the MacGuffey readers. They were around in the later 1800s.

[00:00:38] This is a sixth grade reader that has selections from Shakespeare and Coleridge,

[00:00:45] if you even know who Coleridge is, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Lyman Beecher, the necessity of education.

[00:00:55] Massachusetts in South Carolina by Daniel Webster. Let me tell you folks, this is not the sixth grade reader

[00:01:02] you're going to find in any public school in America today. The depth of this material is astounding

[00:01:10] and so is the first part of the book where they talk about Elocution at some great length

[00:01:17] and many of the other technical aspects of reading, of writing, and reading out loud.

[00:01:26] Some of this fantastic work that's in this book that is, my goodness, almost 500 pages

[00:01:35] and fairly small type that was a sixth grade reader in this country. At one time, certainly not like it is right now.

[00:01:46] So there is some educational deficiency that's going on if you're going to be comparative about it.

[00:01:53] There's also a common sense deficiency. You know, we used to be a rural country,

[00:02:01] mostly people on the farm. I think at the turn of the century it was well over 90%

[00:02:06] at the turn of the last century from the 1800s to the 1900s.

[00:02:12] You know, my mom grew up on a farm in Utah and she was driving a truck when she was 10 years old

[00:02:20] and shooting guns and doing this all very responsibly because it's a little bit different life on the farm,

[00:02:28] particularly the old days with smaller farms. You know, you fixed your own stuff,

[00:02:33] a whole lot of problem solving going on as well as a whole lot of hard work.

[00:02:41] Things that are missing in the lives of almost all people in modern suburban America.

[00:02:48] So how does that affect our thinking? I think it probably does.

[00:02:54] And you know, then there is the progressive education that I've already ranted about

[00:03:00] that came in in force with the Rockefeller Foundation and others at the turn of the last century.

[00:03:07] They were always real big on teaching critical thinking, but critical thinking techniques don't help you

[00:03:15] if you don't actually know anything like the basics of US history besides what some Native American woman did

[00:03:23] or that if you gave people something for nothing, bad things can happen

[00:03:28] or that waiting for police officers for 45 minutes is far better than having the means of protecting yourself.

[00:03:36] So you know without the content, without some common sense teaching critical thinking isn't really helping

[00:03:46] or isn't really teaching critical thinking. And a lot of this was connected to the Frankfurt School Critical Theory

[00:03:55] but they were really teaching is how to criticize the traditions, the origins, the beauty,

[00:04:02] the fantastic nature of the Constitution and of America,

[00:04:07] a complete unique nation in the history of the world.

[00:04:12] That's what the critical thinking they were trying to get across was really about. Anyway,

[00:04:18] but there's other forces that work. There's like the force Freudian psychology, not in the hands of a therapist.

[00:04:26] That didn't seem to work out all that well, but in the hands of admin like Sigmund Freud's nephew

[00:04:33] who started the whole field of public relations, getting women to smoke by appealing to their base or instincts.

[00:04:42] What does that do to your thinking when you're being affected by the media who is manipulating you psychologically?

[00:04:53] How about just lack of character? Lack of character we know can easily lead to bad judgment,

[00:05:01] selfishness and a desire for instant gratification rather than patience.

[00:05:07] And all of these things, all of these impulses certainly affect our thinking.

[00:05:13] People that are happy to be told what you want to hear.

[00:05:17] America is the greatest nation ever and let's just print more and more money because we have modern monetary theory.

[00:05:23] It proves it's okay. Or what about supply side economics without that budget cut?

[00:05:30] Being told what you want to hear, you don't have to pay more taxes and you will get many more benefits from the government.

[00:05:38] So how does that relate to bad thinking?

[00:05:42] And then there's the appeal to our best thinking. We have to help these people.

[00:05:47] And then they slip in the lie or the manipulation.

[00:05:51] You know the idea of Jesus Christ, the greatest person that ever walked the earth is some kind of humanitarian communist running around.

[00:06:01] Appealing to your belief in Christ and your belief in selflessness as he taught but then twisting it into a political message.

[00:06:11] Or what about the fact that it's not easy to even get the correct information to base your thinking on?

[00:06:19] And this is getting worse and worse my friends every day as the first amendment is challenged on every side.

[00:06:27] Today even government statistics are coming under more and more scrutiny.

[00:06:32] Biden announces inflation is down but then they have to revise it two or three months later. Oh really, it was up.

[00:06:40] This is a new problem but it is a real problem that's symptomatic of the problem of our society overall.

[00:06:48] Difficulty in even getting the correct information on which to think about what we should do, how we should be, how you should be.

[00:06:58] What's your next move should be? The origin and another origin of bad thinking.

[00:07:04] You know this is why there's prices in a free market economy.

[00:07:08] Prices are an indication of what people want.

[00:07:12] And you but they're not a great indication of it unless you have a free market economy.

[00:07:17] So there's freedom for a lot of choices to come into the picture.

[00:07:21] Then there is our friends from the progressive era and a legacy from the progressive era.

[00:07:29] Appeal to authority. Those experts.

[00:07:33] An expert said the COVID vaccine is absolutely required. You better be taking it right now.

[00:07:40] Why? Because some experts said to do it.

[00:07:44] So life experiences, I would argue is an important part of your thinking.

[00:07:51] A real education. Being watchful against manipulation.

[00:07:57] Being a good character. Struggling the best you can to get real news and real information.

[00:08:05] And being very, very careful about the appeals to authority that are being made all the time in the media and everywhere else.

[00:08:14] Appeal to these experts. Like that political scientist at the university they always quote.

[00:08:20] When they want to tear down a conservative or your local climate change scientist with that great big government grant.

[00:08:29] Can we completely rely on them? What about the CDC or the WHO?

[00:08:36] So now today's bad thinking. Let's talk about it in more detail.

[00:08:42] You've heard some of this from me before but let's just go at it and we kind of start with the left.

[00:08:48] Defunding the police. Could there possibly be a more stupid idea than that?

[00:08:55] I mean do I need to explain why that is a dumb idea?

[00:08:59] No cash bail. Just about as dumb as defunding the police.

[00:09:04] Practically for all effect, you know in effect.

[00:09:08] Letting any criminal perpetrator out on the street within an hour after they've been arrested to go perpetrate some more.

[00:09:15] Cash bail. Put a check on that. Put a block on that.

[00:09:20] What about department autonomy at universities?

[00:09:24] That's leading to a whole other subject one that you may or may not know much about.

[00:09:29] But you know like the history department at your average university has a great degree of autonomy.

[00:09:34] So even though the taxpayers in a state, maybe patriotic Christian conservatives,

[00:09:41] a history department at a university can hire one Marxist after another

[00:09:46] and the taxpayers cannot do anything about it.

[00:09:50] This is a huge problem friends and not just in the history department.

[00:09:56] It's spreading to every department at the universities.

[00:10:00] And then what about all those public school experiments?

[00:10:05] Like the new math. Like that sight reading thing they had that prompted the book

[00:10:10] that sold millions of copies called Why Johnny Can't Read.

[00:10:14] Getting rid of phonics for all these weird experiments.

[00:10:18] The idea of no grades.

[00:10:21] And all of the rest of the wacky experiments that continue unabated

[00:10:27] by our progressive masters and their friends in the public school industrial complex.

[00:10:34] So what about this idea that religion shouldn't be in public life?

[00:10:39] Church and state. They need to be separate.

[00:10:43] But church and state were never separate in the United States.

[00:10:47] For crying out loud they still open with prayer in the Congress.

[00:10:50] They can't quite get rid of that one.

[00:10:52] People still put their hand on a Bible when they are testifying in the court.

[00:10:58] What a lie. It's just an obvious lie.

[00:11:01] It's not the same thing as giving the Episcopalians a little bit of your tax money for whatever they want to do.

[00:11:07] That's what the founders were talking about.

[00:11:10] People were talking about separating church and state.

[00:11:13] And it's a ridiculous idea anyway.

[00:11:16] If anybody needs God, it's people operating in the state.

[00:11:21] And then beat up this subject many times already on this podcast show.

[00:11:27] Hour of Decision.

[00:11:29] Progressivism.

[00:11:31] Making rule by experts.

[00:11:34] The model.

[00:11:36] And expanded government.

[00:11:38] Experts rule can be accomplished.

[00:11:41] So all of the things they think we should do can happen because the government will be powerful enough for them to happen.

[00:11:49] You know, when an expert says it, it almost always leads to the wrong regulations or the wrong solutions.

[00:12:00] Because it also leads to centralized thinking.

[00:12:03] Centralized thinking is one of the biggest problems when it comes to actually getting to the right answer and getting to the right way of doing things.

[00:12:14] Centralization of power, which many people just love that they're at the top of the pyramid,

[00:12:20] means that when there's a mistake at the top, like, oh, this vaccine is fantastic. Everybody needs to take it.

[00:12:27] When a decision is made at the top and it's not bedded at the lower levels to see kind of how it works.

[00:12:34] It just magnifies disaster over the whole system, over the whole society.

[00:12:39] And centralized planning is even worse because it's static planning.

[00:12:46] It starts from how you think things are today.

[00:12:50] And you're a finite human being so you actually don't really know that.

[00:12:54] But then you take this plan into a future that is fluid, that is dynamic, that has all kinds of things in it that will be hitting you that you didn't think about.

[00:13:06] So planned economies, the planning is filled with disasters.

[00:13:12] Now everybody can make a plan but when you have centralized power and you issue a plan, oh different thing.

[00:13:20] I remember in the county where I used to live, everybody on the county council said, boy, we need to build our own canola oil plant because that's going to be the future of fuel in America.

[00:13:32] Well, that thing sitting there, a completely idle rusting up, it costs taxpayers a couple million dollars, a big deal.

[00:13:39] But that is an example of centralized thinking and planning by a government entity that had no business even being involved with that.

[00:13:48] Don't even have expertise in all of the dynamics of the fuel markets.

[00:13:55] You know, at one time biodiesel was going to be picked by the state of Washington as the way to go.

[00:14:02] We got to start backing biodiesel.

[00:14:05] They don't have enough capital right now.

[00:14:07] It's the way to go but they need more funding.

[00:14:10] We can do that with government grants.

[00:14:13] Probably not something these environmental crazies would be wanting to spend money on now.

[00:14:18] So, you know, we've picked wind, solar and EVs.

[00:14:22] They've been picked by the government.

[00:14:25] Biodiesel has not and natural gas has not been picked even though natural gas is a fuel solution,

[00:14:31] far less carbon emission, far cleaner engines and longer engine life,

[00:14:37] and something that would not be that hard to implement.

[00:14:40] Not having a tenth of the problems of these EVs, cars that are converted to natural gas,

[00:14:47] but I'm not even saying we should do that.

[00:14:49] But I'm trying to appeal now to the climate crazies.

[00:14:52] This would be a way to almost immediately improve carbon emissions in a way that would be smart that would actually help the economy.

[00:15:00] Oh no, no, no. We're going to do wind disaster, solar,

[00:15:05] something that has not ever come close to its so-called potential,

[00:15:09] and then all this stuff with the batteries and I mean, it's just a total disaster with the electric vehicles.

[00:15:17] Climate change itself, the whole idea of climate change,

[00:15:21] is vetted almost exclusively by scientists who have an interest in the theory

[00:15:27] and a great need for further government grants which they will not get

[00:15:32] if they don't ratify the current thinking about climate change.

[00:15:37] Perfect example.

[00:15:39] So progressivism ruled by experts.

[00:15:44] We talked about that.

[00:15:46] A classic example of how disastrous this rule by experts can be was the whole COVID response.

[00:15:57] It was a disaster of centralization.

[00:16:01] Just making that decision while vaccine children not at risk,

[00:16:05] we still have to do it to help the seniors.

[00:16:09] Why would it help the seniors?

[00:16:11] Because then if the children were vaccinated they wouldn't be spreading COVID,

[00:16:15] but guess what?

[00:16:17] The vaccine didn't do that,

[00:16:19] so then they changed the definition of what a vaccine is because it wasn't really a vaccine,

[00:16:24] because it didn't keep people from spreading the disease.

[00:16:27] And of course corruption was involved.

[00:16:31] We all know about Dr. Fauci now, we all know about Pfizer.

[00:16:35] I should say many of us know.

[00:16:38] But the normies still go along with a bad thinking.

[00:16:42] They don't know about all the corruption or they don't care to look.

[00:16:46] And corruption always comes with centralization of power and planning anyway.

[00:16:51] So corruption was a big problem with the COVID response,

[00:16:55] but the single biggest problem was centralization.

[00:16:58] People all over the country, all kind of medical providers, friends,

[00:17:02] figured out various ways of dealing with COVID and mitigating its bad elements,

[00:17:09] its bad effects.

[00:17:11] They came up with these things on their own innovating around the country.

[00:17:15] And of course the government tried to shut most of these people down.

[00:17:18] But it's a perfect example of how you can fix a problem when you recognize a problem

[00:17:23] without going straight to a governmental authority and stable of experts

[00:17:30] who will come out with the plan and, you know, untested, what a disaster,

[00:17:36] complete disaster and we will be paying for it for many, many years with the turbo cancers.

[00:17:42] With kids who can't speak correctly because they were looking at all the parents in mass.

[00:17:47] I mean, they say can go on for three hours.

[00:17:49] I'm going to move on from that one.

[00:17:51] The right has its own problems with bad thinking.

[00:17:54] Let's start with off-shoring industry.

[00:17:57] People who were worshiping the economic theory of David Ricardo,

[00:18:02] which on a blackboard or on a whiteboard or on an electric board

[00:18:07] or whatever they have now in class looks great.

[00:18:11] Go to the lowest, go to the place with the lowest wages to do the actual industrial production.

[00:18:17] That will make the item cheaper, help everybody around the world.

[00:18:22] Perfect for a globalist world but not for a world where China is pointing a whole lot of nukes at us

[00:18:30] and has all of the industry we used to have because their wages are lower.

[00:18:35] It's a terrible idea when you look at the whole picture.

[00:18:39] It's a great idea when you just look at all lower wages,

[00:18:44] glass of unit cost per production.

[00:18:47] Everything will be great.

[00:18:49] Not great folks, not great folks that we have still not paid the bill for that yet.

[00:18:55] The fact that America has already lost a lot of its independence

[00:18:59] to the thinking of David Ricardo and the venal globalists

[00:19:04] who used his theories for their own ends.

[00:19:09] Economics is not power thinking and when you're dealing across countries in the world,

[00:19:14] you better be thinking about power and about your own self-preservation.

[00:19:20] The idea now more coming from the right that we should get rid of the CIA and get rid of the FBI.

[00:19:29] Totally wrong thinking friends.

[00:19:31] We certainly need to clean the places out.

[00:19:34] Maybe we need to change the names.

[00:19:36] Maybe we need to board these places up and start new places.

[00:19:39] But I don't want to be America without an intelligence agency operating in the world.

[00:19:46] This is a conundrum.

[00:19:48] It was not done right with the black budget and all that of the CIA.

[00:19:52] We can't operate in the world without an intelligence arm.

[00:19:56] And you know, the FBI was never constitutional.

[00:20:01] The right loved it because of Jay Edgar Hoover

[00:20:05] and as I said in an earlier podcast, a couple of them,

[00:20:08] the number one anti-communist fighter in America,

[00:20:12] the single reason that Joe McCarthy and these other crusaders in the Congress

[00:20:19] had any material to work with and the documents that they needed

[00:20:23] and the communists that were ferreted out that were pressured out

[00:20:28] almost exclusively because of the efforts of the FBI.

[00:20:32] So then the right wing loved the FBI.

[00:20:35] But then the FBI turned into the kind of national police

[00:20:41] that we have been warned about for generations.

[00:20:45] People like Ron Paul and others warning us and they were right.

[00:20:49] They were not wrong.

[00:20:50] So this is a conundrum because we also have cartels running wild,

[00:20:56] organized crime running wild, child traffickers running wild

[00:21:00] and they're not doing a whole lot about a lot of these things,

[00:21:03] but somebody has to.

[00:21:04] So that needs to be thought through, folks,

[00:21:07] before we just shut these things down and move on.

[00:21:10] The idea that, oh, I hate the UN.

[00:21:13] Well, I sure hate that UN.

[00:21:15] They're terrible.

[00:21:16] What they do to Israel is so terrible.

[00:21:18] But we have to stay at the table.

[00:21:21] America needs to stay at the table.

[00:21:25] My friends, if America just exerted 10% of the power

[00:21:29] we still have, it's our table.

[00:21:33] We can sit wherever we want.

[00:21:35] We sure as hell don't need to be sitting at the table

[00:21:38] with all the communists and all these third world despots

[00:21:41] and all these grifters and all these inefficient bureaucrats

[00:21:45] and all the spies that are in New York City

[00:21:49] because the UN is in New York City.

[00:21:51] We need to get out of the UN

[00:21:54] and get the UN out of the United States, period.

[00:21:57] No, no.

[00:21:59] We have the weasley-rino politicians telling us,

[00:22:03] oh, I hate the UN.

[00:22:04] I just don't like it at all.

[00:22:06] But we have to stay at the table.

[00:22:08] Bad thinking. It's bad thinking.

[00:22:11] I hate the Fed.

[00:22:13] But we need something to mediate international trade.

[00:22:17] I hate the Fed.

[00:22:19] But we can't go back to the gold standard.

[00:22:22] I hate the Fed, but what about economic downturns?

[00:22:26] Holy smokes.

[00:22:28] Look at some history.

[00:22:30] The Fed has caused most of these problems.

[00:22:32] And Russia and China are talking about going to gold.

[00:22:35] How are they doing it?

[00:22:37] Why is it that we can't ever go back to gold

[00:22:40] as a basis of our currency?

[00:22:42] Of course we can. Ridiculous.

[00:22:45] The idea that international trade

[00:22:48] is always a positive good.

[00:22:51] Now, trade can definitely be a positive good.

[00:22:54] It makes a lot of sense.

[00:22:56] We have A, you have B.

[00:22:58] We need B, you need A.

[00:23:00] Well, trade.

[00:23:02] And that's why international trade should always be

[00:23:04] on a bilateral basis,

[00:23:06] one country to another.

[00:23:08] Because then it becomes clear

[00:23:10] what we're getting, what we're giving up.

[00:23:13] But international trade today

[00:23:15] is just code for globalism.

[00:23:17] It's all it is, friends.

[00:23:19] You got some Republican politician running around

[00:23:22] talking about how great trade is.

[00:23:24] They're just empowering the WTO,

[00:23:27] managed trade at an international scale,

[00:23:30] these broad trade agreements

[00:23:32] that we always get screwed in.

[00:23:34] These deals we do with Europe

[00:23:36] that we always get screwed in.

[00:23:38] Hell, we don't need it.

[00:23:40] Trump was right.

[00:23:42] He was just beginning to open that door

[00:23:45] to give us fair trade,

[00:23:47] which is exactly what we need.

[00:23:50] Fair trade, not this so-called free trade.

[00:23:54] Or another one,

[00:23:56] and I've talked about this one before too.

[00:23:58] Oh, the answer is changing some kind of procedure.

[00:24:02] That is, that'll solve everything.

[00:24:04] We need a constitutional convention.

[00:24:07] So a political class

[00:24:09] who has no respect

[00:24:11] for the current constitution

[00:24:13] will be able to ignore all of these new things

[00:24:15] they're going to do in the constitutional convention,

[00:24:17] should they choose to.

[00:24:19] And that's not even to mention

[00:24:22] our enemies that lurk

[00:24:24] on both the right and the left

[00:24:27] that want to destroy our constitution

[00:24:29] more than anything.

[00:24:31] As difficult as it has been

[00:24:34] to keep the politicians in the harness

[00:24:36] with the limitations of the constitution.

[00:24:39] This is not a time to get rid of it

[00:24:41] or to jeopardize it

[00:24:43] in any way.

[00:24:45] Term limits.

[00:24:47] Term limits is supposed to solve

[00:24:50] the problem of corrupt politicians.

[00:24:53] But really it's trying to deal with

[00:24:56] lazy and corrupted voters

[00:24:59] that keep returning corrupted politicians to office.

[00:25:02] And there's so many examples

[00:25:05] of even the most powerful politicians

[00:25:08] going down to defeat Barry Goldwater.

[00:25:11] In 1952 I talked about this.

[00:25:14] He beat the majority leader

[00:25:16] of the Senate in 1994

[00:25:19] in one district over from the district

[00:25:22] I worked in with Congressman Jack Medcalf.

[00:25:25] Congressman George Nethercut

[00:25:28] defeated the Speaker of the House, Tom Foley,

[00:25:31] defeated.

[00:25:33] We don't need term limits.

[00:25:35] We don't need to tell people who they can't vote for.

[00:25:38] We need to mobilize people

[00:25:40] to get rid of incompetent, corrupt,

[00:25:44] wrong thinking politicians.

[00:25:46] That's what we need.

[00:25:48] The balanced budget amendment.

[00:25:50] I've already said, my second podcast

[00:25:53] in this series said

[00:25:55] the biggest danger to the United States

[00:25:57] is our massive debt

[00:25:59] and how fast we are now accumulating more debt.

[00:26:03] I still think that's true.

[00:26:05] But I'm going to say it.

[00:26:07] I'm going to tell you right now

[00:26:08] a balanced budget amendment

[00:26:10] will have enough loopholes to make it useless

[00:26:12] because you will not keep these politicians

[00:26:15] the ones we have today

[00:26:17] from spending too much no matter what obstacle

[00:26:21] you put in their path.

[00:26:23] Procedure reforms don't work

[00:26:26] when there is bad character

[00:26:28] on the part of politicians

[00:26:30] and sometimes on the part of voters

[00:26:33] and an active Fabian effort behind the scenes

[00:26:37] to give us the things we don't want

[00:26:40] no matter what kind of reforms

[00:26:42] we put in place, prevent that.

[00:26:46] So I'm going to go through a few other repeated mantras

[00:26:50] that create or the events bad thinking

[00:26:54] and they also create more bad thinking.

[00:26:57] Republicans had this one,

[00:26:58] starve the beast.

[00:26:59] We got to starve the beast

[00:27:01] which was the idea that it's too tough

[00:27:04] to get rid of all these spending programs

[00:27:07] but that doesn't mean we need to feed the beast

[00:27:10] with more tax revenue

[00:27:11] so we're going to cut taxes

[00:27:13] just to starve the beast

[00:27:15] which was giving the Republicans

[00:27:18] who had been the more responsible party

[00:27:20] an excuse to spend as much as they wanted

[00:27:23] without cutting anything.

[00:27:26] Just as the Democrats wanted to spend

[00:27:28] as much as they wanted

[00:27:29] without cutting anything

[00:27:31] by printing more money,

[00:27:32] by raising taxes,

[00:27:34] either one is good.

[00:27:36] The idea that diversity is strength

[00:27:40] what the hell is that based on?

[00:27:42] And I'm going to use this word again,

[00:27:44] irredentia, look it up.

[00:27:46] Look it up, it's your homework assignment

[00:27:49] what that is and why it is not good for a nation.

[00:27:53] Immigration strains local services

[00:27:56] it lowers wages

[00:27:59] it creates enclaves in our society

[00:28:02] and I'm sorry but always

[00:28:04] and even going way back

[00:28:06] higher crime, higher crime.

[00:28:10] The idea that Israel is our greatest ally

[00:28:13] and I'm going to beat up Israel on this podcast

[00:28:16] but they're not folks, they're not

[00:28:19] when they want to

[00:28:20] they sell our technology

[00:28:22] to our enemies the Chinese

[00:28:24] they stole our nuclear secrets

[00:28:26] they sunk the USS Liberty.

[00:28:30] It's almost always a one-way thing with Israel

[00:28:32] now there is some reciprocal things

[00:28:34] that go on in the ranks of soldiers and what not

[00:28:38] I'm not saying every Israeli is bad

[00:28:40] I'm not saying everything they've ever done with us is bad

[00:28:44] but overall it's not meritorious

[00:28:47] the relationship is not meritorious

[00:28:50] is making Israel our greatest ally

[00:28:52] and just giving them limitless amounts of funds

[00:28:56] your funds, don't think so

[00:28:59] don't think so

[00:29:00] this whole idea that

[00:29:02] oh my goodness

[00:29:03] you've got blacks committing 20% of the crime

[00:29:07] when they're only 10% of the population

[00:29:10] or in some cases 80% of the violent crime

[00:29:13] that's racism

[00:29:15] have you ever heard more ridiculous thinking than this?

[00:29:20] now if you broke down every single arrest of a black person

[00:29:24] you're gonna find sometimes when they shouldn't have been arrested

[00:29:27] some of this DNA stuff has revealed

[00:29:30] and some of that went on it probably is still going on

[00:29:33] but it has the percentage of the population

[00:29:37] of an ethnic group or a racial group

[00:29:39] has nothing to do with how much crime they commit

[00:29:43] it's how much crime they commit

[00:29:45] is what has to do with the percentage of crime that they commit

[00:29:49] so the idea that well we have to get the black cry-ray down to 10%

[00:29:54] because they're 10% of the population by some government program

[00:29:58] or by letting a lot of them go

[00:30:02] it's insanity, that is really really bad thinking

[00:30:07] or requiring voter ID is racist

[00:30:11] come on now

[00:30:13] I mean seriously?

[00:30:15] and I have to admit the public generally

[00:30:18] doesn't buy this

[00:30:20] and what's racist is making an argument

[00:30:23] that oh black people they probably don't have an ID

[00:30:26] it's kind of like funny well they're saying

[00:30:28] oh black people they always carry around a lot of cash

[00:30:30] they don't really use the banking system

[00:30:33] really?

[00:30:35] I don't think so

[00:30:37] or the idea that has been spread by the two top executives

[00:30:41] in my state, Utah

[00:30:43] that anything that makes voting harder

[00:30:47] after they have made it ridiculously too easy

[00:30:51] anything make you get harder than that

[00:30:54] than no ID

[00:30:56] than no required registration before you vote

[00:31:00] they have to follow up with them and everything

[00:31:02] but you can walk right in and vote on election day

[00:31:04] no ID

[00:31:06] mail-in ballots

[00:31:08] universal mail-in ballots

[00:31:10] but anything that makes voting harder than that

[00:31:13] that's racist

[00:31:15] what is that based on folks?

[00:31:17] what kind of thinking is that? is that good thinking?

[00:31:20] terrible thinking

[00:31:22] the hand counting of ballots takes too long

[00:31:25] and it is not accurate

[00:31:27] does anybody really put that to the test?

[00:31:29] actually there have been some groups that have

[00:31:32] do you remember or a lot of you probably do remember

[00:31:37] you used to get the results on election night

[00:31:40] frequently those jurisdictions that could almost always produce

[00:31:44] the election results on election night

[00:31:47] were hand counting the ballots

[00:31:49] not going to get into that whole issue

[00:31:52] but it's the era of these computer tabulators

[00:31:56] and all the other things they're doing now

[00:31:58] that's making us have two, three, four week elections

[00:32:02] not hand counting a ballot

[00:32:04] that has not slowed down the process

[00:32:06] or the idea that something is settled science

[00:32:09] have you heard that before?

[00:32:11] have you heard some expert use that on TV?

[00:32:14] oh no, you can't say that

[00:32:16] because we're dealing here with settled science

[00:32:20] there's no such thing as settled science

[00:32:23] there's always new evidence

[00:32:25] there's always new analysis

[00:32:28] these days there's always better technology

[00:32:30] to look at the old analysis again

[00:32:33] things are not settled and they're almost always based

[00:32:36] more and more scientific judgment

[00:32:39] particularly in the environmental area

[00:32:41] are based on computer models

[00:32:43] computer models are always wrong

[00:32:45] because the people putting the data into the model

[00:32:48] are fallible

[00:32:50] I'm not saying they have no use

[00:32:52] I'm not saying they have no basis

[00:32:55] but computer models are not the facts

[00:32:58] they're just not

[00:33:00] so they can't settle the science

[00:33:03] and settled history is the same deal

[00:33:06] my friends, I'm going to tell you right now

[00:33:08] I had an episode

[00:33:10] of Christ is King talking about Candice Owens

[00:33:13] and talking about all these anti-Semitism laws

[00:33:17] that they're sticking in around the country

[00:33:20] that are going to lead to other laws

[00:33:22] don't think it's going to end with people who say things

[00:33:25] that are not very nice about the Jews

[00:33:27] the First Amendment

[00:33:29] the big crosshairs is on the First Amendment today

[00:33:33] and this idea of settled history

[00:33:36] is a major attack on the First Amendment

[00:33:40] and it's an attack on academic integrity

[00:33:43] in the field of history

[00:33:45] because there's always new evidence

[00:33:47] new analysis

[00:33:49] and better ways to look at the old evidence

[00:33:52] and better theories to look at the old evidence

[00:33:55] so it's the same thing

[00:33:57] it's midnight in America

[00:34:00] and this is the hour of decision

[00:34:02] and in this hour of decision

[00:34:05] at best degree possible

[00:34:07] we need to eradicate bad thinking

[00:34:10] at least out of our minds

[00:34:12] and hopefully out of the minds of a lot of our compatriots

[00:34:15] here in the United States of America

[00:34:17] so my name is Lou Moore

[00:34:20] you've been listening to this podcast

[00:34:22] that is found, it can be found always

[00:34:25] on newsforamerica.org

[00:34:29] we also have an election integrity website

[00:34:32] called securevote.news

[00:34:35] where we have news aggregation and original reports

[00:34:38] about election integrity

[00:34:41] and election adjacent issues

[00:34:44] thank you for joining me

[00:34:46] see you later
