Is Mainstream Media Compromised Lincolns Warning You

Lincoln said it, right? If the republic falls, if we're defeated, it won't be from the outside. All the armies in Europe would not, what did he say, would not be able to cross the Ohio River. It doesn't matter what the PRC does if we're internally strong and internally we have integrity. Right now we don't. We have a state that is too strong and a people that are too weak. And the people, which is, I mean, we are the failing institutions. subsets of all the institutions in the nation, the people are the most vital to preserving liberty. And right now, the people have been, have been, are decreasingly, but have been a failing institution. Alpha, you want to add anything to that? I agree with that 100%. My question to the three of you, gents, is with this fifth generation warfare, how much are we seeing that in podcasting, content creators, you know, whether they even, whether they're doing it nefariously or don't even do it. And how does an audience protect themselves from that when they're choosing what kind of podcast to follow? That's a good question. Well, what, what effects are, is that person trying to achieve? Is it, is it something that you are also trying to achieve or is it just entertainment? I mean, entertainment's entertainment. I mean, That's fine. But if it's a podcaster that is, it is trying to break that one down into nuggets. First of all, you know, what is their background? Where do they come from? Are they qualified to talk about the things they're talking about? Second, use your critical thinking skills. Is this something that you want to support? And I don't really think it's too much bigger than that. And that's not just podcasters. That's mainstream media. You know, this look, look how compromised they all are. I don't care who you're watching. You know, I made a, I made a joke about Fox the other day and their Pfizer money. And somebody said, Hey, I'm surprised you're, you're taking on Fox too. I don't give a damn, you know, right is right. And wrong is wrong. And yes, there is some gray area sometimes, but it doesn't take long to figure out which way, which way people are going to be pointing and nothing's in a bubble. And if you're, if you're, if you're paying attention, you're going to see that these people have an agenda. And just make sure it's a pro-freedom agenda. It has to be pro-freedom and it has to be smart. There are some folks out there who are pro-freedom, but they're just, I mean, you got to be smart. There's ways to do things and it's probably not the exact way it's been done in the past. We're going to have to deal with the conditions we currently live in. And that's what I'm saying. Just put your Red Dawn video away. Go study the French Resistance. Find people within a 10-minute car ride. And just take care of your family. I can't can't really come up with anything better than that. Yeah. And the reason I propose that, Boone, that question is, you know, the people behind this fifth generation warfare, whether it's the good guys or the bad guys, they realize, you know, people are not turning to mainstream media as much. You know, they're turning to Citizen Journal and they're turning, you know, to these secondary networks and podcasts.
