Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Media's Bias and Manipulation | Allen Jackson Now | May 5, 2025
- Well.
- 00:00:04.162 --> 00:00:04.596
- Good evening.
- 00:00:04.596 --> 00:00:05.597
- I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
- 00:00:05.597 --> 00:00:07.732
- It's been a challenging time for the legacy media.
- 00:00:07.732 --> 00:00:10.602
- Their friends
- 00:00:10.602 --> 00:00:11.837
- On the liberal side of the aisle have only one thing to say.
- 00:00:11.837 --> 00:00:14.706
- Whatever trump is doing is today is bad.
- 00:00:14.706 --> 00:00:18.176
- Well, not only is it not true, but it's become a really boring,
- 00:00:18.176 --> 00:00:21.546
- Broken record
- 00:00:21.546 --> 00:00:22.981
- And repetition
- 00:00:22.981 --> 00:00:23.815
- Doesn't sell when you're trying hard
- 00:00:23.815 --> 00:00:25.283
- To get people to click on your stories.
- 00:00:25.283 --> 00:00:27.652
- But equally important,
- 00:00:27.652 --> 00:00:28.787
- The american people can see
- 00:00:28.787 --> 00:00:30.489
- With their own eyes that it isn't true.
- 00:00:30.489 --> 00:00:33.425
- Trump coined the phrase fake news
- 00:00:33.425 --> 00:00:35.627
- During his first term, and now everyone uses it.
- 00:00:35.627 --> 00:00:38.763
- And it's trump
- 00:00:38.763 --> 00:00:39.998
- Who let the cameras in for two of his cabinet meetings already.
- 00:00:39.998 --> 00:00:43.201
- Each cabinet officer had to do time to explain
- 00:00:43.201 --> 00:00:45.937
- What they'd accomplished
- 00:00:45.937 --> 00:00:47.372
- And what they were going to work on next.
- 00:00:47.372 --> 00:00:49.875
- I've never seen anything quite like that anywhere in the world.
- 00:00:49.875 --> 00:00:53.145
- And what's the media doing?
- 00:00:53.145 --> 00:00:54.846
- Oh, they're taking their cue
- 00:00:54.846 --> 00:00:56.014
- From the opposition. in this case,
- 00:00:56.014 --> 00:00:58.316
- The democratic governor of illinois, jb pritzker.
- 00:00:58.316 --> 00:01:01.453
- Listen to how he's trying to heighten the tension.
- 00:01:01.453 --> 00:01:05.090
- Never before in my life have i called for mass protests,
- 00:01:05.090 --> 00:01:09.060
- For mobilization, for disruption.
- 00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.063
- But i am now.
- 00:01:12.063 --> 00:01:16.868
- These republicans
- 00:01:17.302 --> 00:01:18.403
- Cannot know a moment of peace.
- 00:01:18.403 --> 00:01:22.207
- We'll take note that he was in the first in the nation
- 00:01:22.207 --> 00:01:25.377
- Primary state of new hampshire when he said it.
- 00:01:25.377 --> 00:01:28.580
- And the governor certainly knows how to feed the legacy media
- 00:01:28.580 --> 00:01:31.816
- That will play again and play again.
- 00:01:31.816 --> 00:01:34.619
- Anyone who takes on the president.
- 00:01:34.619 --> 00:01:37.189
- Well, here's another not so clever line the media puts out.
- 00:01:37.189 --> 00:01:40.325
- They show promotions that say they report the facts,
- 00:01:40.325 --> 00:01:44.062
- But what they don't tell you
- 00:01:44.062 --> 00:01:45.263
- Is that most of these issues include several facts,
- 00:01:45.263 --> 00:01:48.466
- But they only report the two that they like,
- 00:01:48.466 --> 00:01:50.569
- And they ignore the rest that they don't like.
- 00:01:50.569 --> 00:01:53.205
- Well, in doing so, they create a narrative
- 00:01:53.205 --> 00:01:55.740
- That supports their spin.
- 00:01:55.740 --> 00:01:57.709
- Their fake news, as the president refers to it.
- 00:01:57.709 --> 00:02:00.779
- It's a selective manipulation of the truth.
- 00:02:00.779 --> 00:02:03.381
- Spinning their own version of a story
- 00:02:03.381 --> 00:02:05.083
- To make it seem like something that it really isn't.
- 00:02:05.083 --> 00:02:08.787
- Well, with that, i'd like to bring in a news
- 00:02:08.787 --> 00:02:11.089
- Veteran anchor and reporter doug mcelroy.
- 00:02:11.089 --> 00:02:15.527
- Doug, i.
- 00:02:15.794 --> 00:02:16.161
- Noticed you.
- 00:02:16.161 --> 00:02:17.295
- Noticed the turmoil at cbs news, which has been pushed
- 00:02:17.295 --> 00:02:20.966
- To correct a report of a 60 minutes interview
- 00:02:20.966 --> 00:02:23.368
- With then-vice president kamala harris.
- 00:02:23.368 --> 00:02:26.271
- Jobs filed a defamation suit,
- 00:02:26.271 --> 00:02:27.872
- Saying the interview was deceptively edited.
- 00:02:27.872 --> 00:02:31.142
- Well, recently, the executive producer of 60 minutes resigned,
- 00:02:31.142 --> 00:02:34.212
- Saying that he could no longer make autonomous
- 00:02:34.212 --> 00:02:36.281
- Editorial decisions, especially when the parent company of cbs
- 00:02:36.281 --> 00:02:39.985
- Is in merger talks.
- 00:02:39.985 --> 00:02:41.052
- That requires approval from the trump administration.
- 00:02:41.052 --> 00:02:44.189
- So, doug, do you think he actually quit
- 00:02:44.189 --> 00:02:46.224
- Or was he pushed out because he's going to be exposed
- 00:02:46.224 --> 00:02:48.493
- For manipulating an anti-trump interview?
- 00:02:48.493 --> 00:02:52.297
- It's probably somewhere between all of those things.
- 00:02:52.297 --> 00:02:55.267
- Clearly he doesn't like the pressure
- 00:02:55.267 --> 00:02:56.768
- That he's feeling
- 00:02:56.768 --> 00:02:57.836
- From the trump administration in some respects,
- 00:02:57.836 --> 00:03:00.372
- To, to change their perceived
- 00:03:00.372 --> 00:03:02.941
- Bias in what trump calls fake news is one of the genius
- 00:03:02.941 --> 00:03:05.977
- Components of donald trump.
- 00:03:05.977 --> 00:03:07.012
- Again, is this
- 00:03:07.012 --> 00:03:08.280
- His ability to coin new phrases that enter everybody's lexicon?
- 00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:11.816
- Fake news being one of them.
- 00:03:11.816 --> 00:03:13.585
- And it's not without reason.
- 00:03:14.185 --> 00:03:15.620
- It is not without reason.
- 00:03:15.620 --> 00:03:17.255
- And 60 minutes has had problems, as far as i am concerned,
- 00:03:17.255 --> 00:03:20.392
- With their bias.
- 00:03:20.392 --> 00:03:22.027
- Going back literally decades.
- 00:03:22.027 --> 00:03:24.062
- I'll relate to you an interesting thing.
- 00:03:24.062 --> 00:03:26.731
- It kind of sealed
- 00:03:26.731 --> 00:03:27.799
- My perception of 60 minutes happened back in 1986.
- 00:03:27.799 --> 00:03:32.203
- I was an anchor in kansas city, missouri, and cbs 60 minutes
- 00:03:32.203 --> 00:03:36.908
- Did a segment on the audi a5 thousand.
- 00:03:36.908 --> 00:03:40.011
- And quote unquote, sudden acceleration syndrome.
- 00:03:40.011 --> 00:03:43.948
- The story was reported by ed bradley, who was, today,
- 00:03:43.948 --> 00:03:48.453
- In the annals of, journalistic excellence,
- 00:03:48.453 --> 00:03:51.589
- One of the great standard bearers
- 00:03:51.589 --> 00:03:53.325
- Of great journalism from 60 minutes.
- 00:03:53.325 --> 00:03:55.527
- But ed bradley did a piece on the audi 5000 sudden
- 00:03:55.527 --> 00:03:59.497
- Phantom acceleration problem.
- 00:03:59.497 --> 00:04:00.999
- What what was happening, allegedly,
- 00:04:00.999 --> 00:04:02.667
- And what 60 minutes reported on
- 00:04:02.667 --> 00:04:04.402
- Was these cars, when people put the brakes
- 00:04:04.402 --> 00:04:06.838
- On, were suddenly accelerating beyond the control and
- 00:04:06.838 --> 00:04:10.208
- And being involved in terrible accidents, things of that sort.
- 00:04:10.208 --> 00:04:13.712
- There was some theory
- 00:04:13.712 --> 00:04:14.746
- At the time that that maybe it was just,
- 00:04:14.746 --> 00:04:17.382
- Elderly people, elderly drivers putting their foot
- 00:04:17.382 --> 00:04:20.151
- On the wrong pedal.
- 00:04:20.151 --> 00:04:22.320
- But 60 minutes carried this, this notion, this,
- 00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:27.058
- Of a sudden unintended sort of phantom acceleration,
- 00:04:27.058 --> 00:04:31.062
- Through and through with their reporting
- 00:04:31.062 --> 00:04:32.630
- By ed bradley on that particular, day in 1986.
- 00:04:32.630 --> 00:04:37.068
- And i,
- 00:04:37.068 --> 00:04:38.269
- I wrote a piece on it, on how wrong ed bradley story was.
- 00:04:38.269 --> 00:04:42.240
- And i'll quote from the piece i wrote many years ago.
- 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.076
- Ed bradley did not tell you in 1986 when 60 minutes
- 00:04:45.076 --> 00:04:49.114
- Filmed a sequence of an audi 5000 surging out of control,
- 00:04:49.114 --> 00:04:53.818
- That the acceleration was caused not by some undiagnosed demon,
- 00:04:53.818 --> 00:04:57.889
- But by a man named william rosenbluth,
- 00:04:57.889 --> 00:05:00.925
- An automotive consultant
- 00:05:00.925 --> 00:05:02.127
- Retained by plaintiffs in a suit against audi.
- 00:05:02.127 --> 00:05:05.630
- Off camera, rosenbluth drilled a hole in an audi transmission
- 00:05:05.630 --> 00:05:10.635
- And piped fluid into it, causing the desired
- 00:05:10.635 --> 00:05:13.538
- Lurching forward and the phantom sudden acceleration.
- 00:05:13.538 --> 00:05:16.775
- That cbs evening at cbs give me cbs 60 minutes
- 00:05:16.775 --> 00:05:20.311
- Showed on their program
- 00:05:20.311 --> 00:05:21.546
- That they drilled a hole in the transmission
- 00:05:21.546 --> 00:05:23.715
- In 60 minutes did with the help of this guy.
- 00:05:23.715 --> 00:05:25.784
- He pumped fluid into the transmission,
- 00:05:25.784 --> 00:05:27.352
- Causing the surge out of control,
- 00:05:27.352 --> 00:05:29.154
- Creating a fake news
- 00:05:29.621 --> 00:05:31.756
- Version of what the complaints about the audi 5000 were.
- 00:05:31.756 --> 00:05:35.693
- Anyway, so my problem with 60 minutes
- 00:05:35.693 --> 00:05:37.996
- Goes back to literally decades now.
- 00:05:37.996 --> 00:05:40.198
- And, whatever hits
- 00:05:40.198 --> 00:05:41.933
- That program takes, i'm happy to see, to be perfectly honest.
- 00:05:41.933 --> 00:05:45.703
- But it illustrates the broader problem
- 00:05:45.703 --> 00:05:48.273
- With with news in this country.
- 00:05:48.273 --> 00:05:50.275
- And, i thought that
- 00:05:50.275 --> 00:05:51.576
- We might see a change after the 2024 election.
- 00:05:51.576 --> 00:05:55.447
- They took such a drubbing at the polls that i thought
- 00:05:55.447 --> 00:05:58.883
- They might be making some personnel changes and,
- 00:05:58.883 --> 00:06:02.253
- Political, direction changes.
- 00:06:02.253 --> 00:06:05.123
- But i think now that trump is back in office and settled in
- 00:06:05.123 --> 00:06:08.059
- After 100 days, we're seeing the same,
- 00:06:08.059 --> 00:06:11.362
- The same factors manifest themselves that
- 00:06:11.362 --> 00:06:13.598
- That got mainstream media to trouble.
- 00:06:13.598 --> 00:06:15.366
- The good news is there's
- 00:06:15.366 --> 00:06:16.601
- So many alternative sources now for getting your information
- 00:06:16.601 --> 00:06:20.138
- That in many respects, mainstream media outlets like 60
- 00:06:20.138 --> 00:06:23.274
- Minutes are becoming the dinosaurs of the media world.
- 00:06:23.274 --> 00:06:26.911
- You know, cbs news is also facing accusations
- 00:06:27.846 --> 00:06:30.849
- That they didn't honor a commitment.
- 00:06:30.849 --> 00:06:32.317
- Their morning show
- 00:06:32.317 --> 00:06:33.384
- Made to the former patriots coach, bill belichick.
- 00:06:33.384 --> 00:06:36.287
- Belichick said for an interview
- 00:06:36.921 --> 00:06:38.556
- That was supposed to be about his new book on coaching.
- 00:06:38.556 --> 00:06:41.526
- But cbs, during the interview into a story about
- 00:06:41.526 --> 00:06:44.662
- He and his young girlfriend.
- 00:06:44.662 --> 00:06:46.264
- You know, i'm not here to defend bill belichick,
- 00:06:46.264 --> 00:06:48.466
- But i will defend the truth.
- 00:06:48.466 --> 00:06:50.502
- Cbs news now
- 00:06:50.502 --> 00:06:51.803
- Denies that they agreed only to talk about his book.
- 00:06:51.803 --> 00:06:54.873
- But that's the problem.
- 00:06:54.873 --> 00:06:55.840
- When you have a history of distortion, it's
- 00:06:55.840 --> 00:06:57.575
- Hard to ever know when you're hearing truth.
- 00:06:57.575 --> 00:07:00.678
- Doug, is that analysis right?
- 00:07:00.678 --> 00:07:02.347
- They just caught one more time.
- 00:07:02.347 --> 00:07:04.716
- I think that's pretty much true.
- 00:07:04.716 --> 00:07:06.985
- It's sort of gets to the heart of what the modus operandi
- 00:07:06.985 --> 00:07:10.255
- Are of the standard, you know, mainstream
- 00:07:10.255 --> 00:07:13.091
- Media journalist in this day and age.
- 00:07:13.091 --> 00:07:15.593
- And it's the i don't know who coined this phrase.
- 00:07:15.593 --> 00:07:18.096
- I don't think it was donald trump.
- 00:07:18.096 --> 00:07:19.297
- It might have been rush limbaugh.
- 00:07:19.297 --> 00:07:20.398
- And you called it,
- 00:07:20.398 --> 00:07:21.599
- You know, gotcha journalism or drive-by journalism.
- 00:07:21.599 --> 00:07:24.836
- But it's been around for a long, long time.
- 00:07:25.703 --> 00:07:28.506
- You know, my grandfather, who i've often referenced
- 00:07:28.506 --> 00:07:30.775
- On this show, who was president
- 00:07:30.775 --> 00:07:32.243
- Associated press and editor of the evening star newspaper,
- 00:07:32.243 --> 00:07:35.780
- Had a different term for it. it was called entrapment.
- 00:07:35.780 --> 00:07:37.916
- He called it entrapment journalism.
- 00:07:37.916 --> 00:07:40.184
- And i suppose in some respects, it may serve a purpose.
- 00:07:40.184 --> 00:07:44.622
- It's it front people with things they might have said
- 00:07:44.622 --> 00:07:46.791
- Or might have done in the past.
- 00:07:46.791 --> 00:07:47.825
- That conflict with the present, positions are.
- 00:07:47.825 --> 00:07:51.095
- But but what it also does is it bolsters the reporter's
- 00:07:51.095 --> 00:07:55.733
- Credentials, it bona fides and and the present day
- 00:07:55.733 --> 00:07:59.470
- Criteria for what constitutes a good reporter.
- 00:07:59.470 --> 00:08:02.507
- If you get them, if they got them with that
- 00:08:03.408 --> 00:08:05.276
- Gotcha question, then you're
- 00:08:05.276 --> 00:08:08.646
- Perceived as a hero.
- 00:08:08.646 --> 00:08:09.881
- Maybe you gonna get a better contract, a higher pay, a more,
- 00:08:09.881 --> 00:08:12.884
- You know, pronounced show
- 00:08:13.451 --> 00:08:14.552
- That you get the host or, more front page stories.
- 00:08:14.552 --> 00:08:18.456
- That's what oftentimes the reporters are after.
- 00:08:18.456 --> 00:08:20.792
- They're often just trying to please the boss.
- 00:08:20.792 --> 00:08:23.061
- It's the bosses that i'm after in these situations. who?
- 00:08:23.061 --> 00:08:27.899
- Who are they?
- 00:08:28.266 --> 00:08:29.534
- Who is funding these news organizations?
- 00:08:29.534 --> 00:08:31.703
- What are they demanding of their reporters?
- 00:08:31.703 --> 00:08:34.005
- I want to know those kinds of questions.
- 00:08:34.005 --> 00:08:35.773
- And they're much more hard to come by
- 00:08:35.773 --> 00:08:37.609
- Because you it's all hidden behind veils and finances and
- 00:08:37.609 --> 00:08:41.145
- And ownership and funding and that sort of thing.
- 00:08:41.145 --> 00:08:44.315
- But the good news is that we are seeing changes in media,
- 00:08:44.315 --> 00:08:48.786
- And i find it really fascinating that one of the great success
- 00:08:48.786 --> 00:08:52.090
- Stories in media nowadays is longform journalism.
- 00:08:52.090 --> 00:08:55.026
- You get the guys like joe rogan, who we'll have a guest on
- 00:08:55.026 --> 00:08:58.563
- For three hours.
- 00:08:58.563 --> 00:09:00.198
- It defies all the logic.
- 00:09:00.198 --> 00:09:02.467
- The tv news consultants have been telling,
- 00:09:02.467 --> 00:09:05.136
- Their clients through the years, we have short attention spans.
- 00:09:05.136 --> 00:09:08.840
- Shorter is better.
- 00:09:08.840 --> 00:09:10.274
- Give me a 15 second sound bite.
- 00:09:10.274 --> 00:09:11.909
- 20s is too long now.
- 00:09:11.909 --> 00:09:13.645
- No, let's go to 10s.
- 00:09:13.645 --> 00:09:15.146
- Oh, how about a five seconds sound bite
- 00:09:15.146 --> 00:09:17.749
- That's no longer flying with the american public,
- 00:09:17.749 --> 00:09:20.151
- Except for the really low information voters.
- 00:09:20.151 --> 00:09:23.154
- But people are thirsting for knowledge nowadays.
- 00:09:23.154 --> 00:09:26.090
- I find that to be really, hard truth.
- 00:09:26.090 --> 00:09:29.527
- And, you can find it out there in the world wide interwebs
- 00:09:29.527 --> 00:09:33.264
- These days with podcasts, longform stories,
- 00:09:33.264 --> 00:09:36.534
- You know, places like substack,
- 00:09:37.168 --> 00:09:39.637
- They're
- 00:09:39.871 --> 00:09:41.139
- Drawing a lot of viewers and, and and what's happening is that
- 00:09:41.139 --> 00:09:44.008
- People are afraid they're not getting
- 00:09:44.008 --> 00:09:45.777
- The truth anymore, and they're seeking the truth.
- 00:09:45.777 --> 00:09:48.613
- They're looking for it.
- 00:09:48.613 --> 00:09:49.747
- And i and i hope that mainstream media, the legacy media,
- 00:09:49.747 --> 00:09:54.552
- Really suffers the consequences of this because they deserve
- 00:09:54.552 --> 00:09:57.355
- To suffer the consequences by by being partizan.
- 00:09:57.355 --> 00:10:00.725
- Well, doug, it's time to take a short break.
- 00:10:01.659 --> 00:10:03.895
- I hope you'll stay with us for another segment.
- 00:10:03.895 --> 00:10:07.198
- Will tell us what you think
- 00:10:07.198 --> 00:10:09.400
- About what you've heard so far by going to aj now.com.
- 00:10:09.400 --> 00:10:12.837
- You can send us an email and later i'll share some thoughts.
- 00:10:12.837 --> 00:10:16.007
- And all this from a biblical perspective.
- 00:10:16.007 --> 00:10:18.142
- We'll be right back.
- 00:10:18.142 --> 00:10:26.000
- We'll be right back.
- 00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.220
- We're back now with the former network
- 00:10:30.987 --> 00:10:32.989
- Anchor and reporter doug mcelroy.
- 00:10:32.989 --> 00:10:36.026
- Let's move from the media to the white house versus harvard.
- 00:10:36.026 --> 00:10:39.930
- The trump administration froze the more than $2 billion
- 00:10:39.930 --> 00:10:43.433
- In federal research money
- 00:10:43.433 --> 00:10:45.235
- As a part of a broader initiative
- 00:10:45.235 --> 00:10:47.003
- That targeted schools that didn't do a better job
- 00:10:47.003 --> 00:10:49.406
- Of policing anti-semitism on campus.
- 00:10:49.406 --> 00:10:52.476
- They also threatened to revoke harvard's tax exempt status.
- 00:10:52.476 --> 00:10:56.546
- Harvard responded with a lawsuit.
- 00:10:56.546 --> 00:10:58.915
- But you've spoken openly not about harvard,
- 00:10:58.915 --> 00:11:01.151
- But about the brainwashing
- 00:11:01.151 --> 00:11:02.519
- That occurs when our young people
- 00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.121
- Attend these expensive college campuses.
- 00:11:04.121 --> 00:11:06.923
- Can you tell us just a bit of what you,
- 00:11:06.923 --> 00:11:08.592
- Your family, experienced?
- 00:11:08.592 --> 00:11:11.628
- Well,
- 00:11:11.862 --> 00:11:13.096
- I think you may be talking about an article
- 00:11:13.096 --> 00:11:14.865
- That i told about my younger son, my youngest son,
- 00:11:14.865 --> 00:11:18.368
- Alexander, who, dropped out of college,
- 00:11:18.368 --> 00:11:21.772
- Because he was just so disgusted with what he was being taught.
- 00:11:21.772 --> 00:11:25.242
- And a seminal moment for him
- 00:11:25.242 --> 00:11:27.477
- Was, and the first day of class.
- 00:11:27.477 --> 00:11:30.280
- I won't name the university.
- 00:11:30.280 --> 00:11:31.515
- I don't want to get into all that,
- 00:11:31.515 --> 00:11:33.150
- But it's because it's so common and typical.
- 00:11:33.150 --> 00:11:36.253
- But, he was in his class.
- 00:11:36.253 --> 00:11:38.188
- The professor stood up on the first day and said,
- 00:11:38.188 --> 00:11:41.525
- You know, class i.
- 00:11:41.525 --> 00:11:42.359
- I'm such as archie and i,
- 00:11:42.359 --> 00:11:43.593
- You know, here's
- 00:11:43.593 --> 00:11:44.728
- A little bit of my background and i'd like you all to
- 00:11:44.728 --> 00:11:47.130
- Introduce yourselves.
- 00:11:47.130 --> 00:11:48.298
- Now, as we go through the class
- 00:11:48.298 --> 00:11:49.900
- And how you choose to identify yourselves.
- 00:11:49.900 --> 00:11:53.770
- And they came to my son alexander,
- 00:11:53.770 --> 00:11:56.773
- And he told the professor,
- 00:11:56.773 --> 00:11:58.074
- My name is alexander, and i identify as tall and handsome.
- 00:11:58.074 --> 00:12:02.312
- But, he told me that
- 00:12:02.779 --> 00:12:04.181
- Story, and i stood up and gave him a round of applause.
- 00:12:04.181 --> 00:12:07.184
- You know, but hearing on his defiance, he's not alone.
- 00:12:07.184 --> 00:12:10.587
- You know, i think there are a lot of young people,
- 00:12:10.587 --> 00:12:13.356
- Who, are sort of sick and tired of that kind of indoctrination
- 00:12:13.356 --> 00:12:16.793
- They're experiencing.
- 00:12:16.793 --> 00:12:18.094
- And it only gets worse at the, at the more elite.
- 00:12:18.094 --> 00:12:20.430
- The institution is,
- 00:12:20.430 --> 00:12:22.566
- In the united states of america, and harvard is probably,
- 00:12:22.566 --> 00:12:26.636
- Exhibit a for all of this sort of stuff.
- 00:12:26.636 --> 00:12:29.573
- I actually indispensable grok.
- 00:12:29.573 --> 00:12:31.675
- I don't know if you
- 00:12:31.675 --> 00:12:32.943
- If your viewers use grok, but i strongly encourage them to.
- 00:12:32.943 --> 00:12:36.213
- It's so easy.
- 00:12:36.213 --> 00:12:37.447
- You go to x, the elon's the x and there's a little insignia.
- 00:12:37.447 --> 00:12:41.451
- It says grok. you punch that insignia on.
- 00:12:41.451 --> 00:12:43.286
- If you have a question about anything write it down
- 00:12:43.286 --> 00:12:47.023
- And grok will give you an answer that's completely legitimate.
- 00:12:47.023 --> 00:12:50.760
- It is balanced, it's fair.
- 00:12:50.760 --> 00:12:53.697
- It's the real.
- 00:12:53.697 --> 00:12:55.599
- And as best i can tell, it's completely devoid
- 00:12:55.599 --> 00:12:58.768
- Of politicization.
- 00:12:58.768 --> 00:13:00.303
- So anyway, i asked grok just before the program today
- 00:13:00.303 --> 00:13:04.307
- To tell me how many professors at harvard,
- 00:13:04.307 --> 00:13:07.911
- Rate themselves as as liberal and how many are conservative.
- 00:13:07.911 --> 00:13:11.948
- And here's grok. the answer
- 00:13:11.948 --> 00:13:13.950
- Says in
- 00:13:14.184 --> 00:13:15.018
- 2023, 77% of surveyed harbor harvard
- 00:13:15.018 --> 00:13:19.556
- Faculty identified as liberal or very liberal.
- 00:13:19.556 --> 00:13:22.525
- Approximately 2% identified as conservative
- 00:13:22.525 --> 00:13:26.596
- And less than 1% as very conservative,
- 00:13:26.596 --> 00:13:29.599
- And about 20% identified as moderate.
- 00:13:29.599 --> 00:13:33.069
- Anyway, that's very typical of what's
- 00:13:33.870 --> 00:13:36.506
- Going on in american colleges.
- 00:13:36.506 --> 00:13:37.674
- This is why people say
- 00:13:37.674 --> 00:13:38.842
- They're no longer interested in educating young people.
- 00:13:38.842 --> 00:13:41.444
- They're interested in indoctrinating young people.
- 00:13:41.444 --> 00:13:43.914
- And i would venture to go a little step further.
- 00:13:43.914 --> 00:13:46.883
- I would say that
- 00:13:46.883 --> 00:13:48.084
- A lot of these professors at these elite institutions are,
- 00:13:48.084 --> 00:13:52.022
- Radicals, you know, out of the marxist philosophy
- 00:13:52.022 --> 00:13:55.825
- And the fact that you see these kinds of protests
- 00:13:55.825 --> 00:13:58.561
- Occurring on so many college campuses,
- 00:13:58.561 --> 00:14:00.363
- Columbia university, harvard, the anti-semitism going on
- 00:14:00.363 --> 00:14:04.401
- At some of these schools is, to me,
- 00:14:04.401 --> 00:14:07.604
- Just a real simple outrage.
- 00:14:07.604 --> 00:14:10.507
- You know, they're still
- 00:14:10.507 --> 00:14:11.541
- Holocaust survivors alive in this day and age.
- 00:14:11.541 --> 00:14:15.412
- Harvard university and so many of the elite institutions
- 00:14:15.412 --> 00:14:18.515
- Used to be at the forefront of combating this kind of stuff.
- 00:14:18.515 --> 00:14:22.719
- It the see the see
- 00:14:23.153 --> 00:14:25.221
- That it it's resurging while they're still holocaust
- 00:14:25.221 --> 00:14:28.258
- Survivors alive is is an outrage.
- 00:14:28.258 --> 00:14:31.861
- And if i were king of the world, or at least
- 00:14:31.861 --> 00:14:34.364
- President of harvard university,
- 00:14:34.364 --> 00:14:36.533
- I would be rounding up those protesters
- 00:14:36.533 --> 00:14:39.269
- And putting them, giving them a real hard education about
- 00:14:39.269 --> 00:14:43.006
- What happened in the holocaust and what led to it.
- 00:14:43.006 --> 00:14:46.176
- And, why any thought like this
- 00:14:46.176 --> 00:14:50.213
- Has to be tamped down or confronted with the truth.
- 00:14:50.213 --> 00:14:53.450
- If you want to go to this university,
- 00:14:53.450 --> 00:14:56.086
- We don't allow this kind of stuff
- 00:14:56.086 --> 00:14:58.488
- At this university because it's beyond the pale
- 00:14:58.488 --> 00:15:01.491
- Of human experience.
- 00:15:01.491 --> 00:15:03.059
- We don't permit it.
- 00:15:03.059 --> 00:15:04.661
- But you see so many of these professors caving to that thing
- 00:15:04.661 --> 00:15:08.365
- And the interest of of free speech,
- 00:15:08.365 --> 00:15:10.266
- Which i'm all in favor of.
- 00:15:10.266 --> 00:15:11.468
- But there's some things which are beyond the pale,
- 00:15:11.468 --> 00:15:14.604
- And they shouldn't be permitted.
- 00:15:14.604 --> 00:15:16.306
- And you can go express them on some street corner somewhere.
- 00:15:16.306 --> 00:15:19.009
- But if you're going to be
- 00:15:19.009 --> 00:15:19.976
- Getting an education at this university,
- 00:15:19.976 --> 00:15:22.812
- We are going to be, intolerant of it.
- 00:15:22.812 --> 00:15:25.415
- And i'm getting you out.
- 00:15:25.415 --> 00:15:26.983
- I'm kicking you out of here.
- 00:15:26.983 --> 00:15:28.485
- Here's your tuition money back.
- 00:15:28.485 --> 00:15:29.953
- Take it back to mommy and daddy.
- 00:15:29.953 --> 00:15:31.554
- Here's your mattress and your books.
- 00:15:31.554 --> 00:15:33.390
- They're out on the street now.
- 00:15:33.390 --> 00:15:34.891
- Bye bye.
- 00:15:34.891 --> 00:15:36.559
- I just wish there more professors
- 00:15:36.559 --> 00:15:38.995
- And more university administrators
- 00:15:38.995 --> 00:15:40.797
- Who had this kind of courage.
- 00:15:40.797 --> 00:15:42.565
- But they are all a part of the system
- 00:15:42.565 --> 00:15:44.000
- Which led to it in the first place.
- 00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.235
- So it's a real problem.
- 00:15:45.235 --> 00:15:46.903
- But i'm glad to see the trump
- 00:15:46.903 --> 00:15:48.171
- Administration taking the strong a strong stance against it.
- 00:15:48.171 --> 00:15:51.574
- Will mcelroy for king of the world
- 00:15:51.574 --> 00:15:54.010
- Sounds like a bumper sticker.
- 00:15:54.010 --> 00:15:56.212
- We'll have those on air soon.
- 00:15:56.846 --> 00:15:58.815
- Okay, we'll work on that. okay.
- 00:15:58.815 --> 00:16:00.784
- Thanks for 10% cut.
- 00:16:00.784 --> 00:16:02.485
- Absolutely.
- 00:16:02.485 --> 00:16:03.286
- Thanks for taking time with us today.
- 00:16:03.286 --> 00:16:04.621
- It's nice to have you back again.
- 00:16:04.621 --> 00:16:06.623
- All right.
- 00:16:06.623 --> 00:16:07.824
- In a moment, i'll have some thoughts
- 00:16:07.824 --> 00:16:09.392
- About our role in all of this.
- 00:16:09.392 --> 00:16:11.094
- And the truth that's not up for debate.
- 00:16:11.094 --> 00:16:13.329
- And later, some of your emails.
- 00:16:13.329 --> 00:16:22.001
- And later, some of your emails.
- 00:16:22.001 --> 00:16:27.044
- You know, there's an arena where i think
- 00:16:27.912 --> 00:16:29.480
- We have to make some significant changes.
- 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:31.749
- I would submit that our american educational system
- 00:16:31.749 --> 00:16:34.752
- Has to change the marxist values,
- 00:16:34.752 --> 00:16:37.521
- Which we have allowed to be promoted as enlightened.
- 00:16:37.521 --> 00:16:40.624
- They're just not acceptable.
- 00:16:40.624 --> 00:16:42.293
- D-i and crt are not essential preparation for our students
- 00:16:42.293 --> 00:16:46.997
- At any level.
- 00:16:46.997 --> 00:16:48.499
- You can't separate education from worldview.
- 00:16:48.499 --> 00:16:51.535
- It's a myth that suggests we can.
- 00:16:51.535 --> 00:16:54.338
- How you understand the world influences how you think.
- 00:16:54.338 --> 00:16:57.708
- A judeo-christian worldview has to be
- 00:16:57.708 --> 00:17:00.478
- Welcomed once again into our educational systems.
- 00:17:00.478 --> 00:17:03.681
- We spent decades carving that out,
- 00:17:03.681 --> 00:17:05.983
- Saying that it had no place there.
- 00:17:05.983 --> 00:17:08.152
- And so now we have a group of people
- 00:17:08.152 --> 00:17:10.154
- That are educated, sophisticated,
- 00:17:10.154 --> 00:17:12.423
- With a stack of degrees, but they're also opposed
- 00:17:12.423 --> 00:17:15.659
- To these judeo-christian principles.
- 00:17:15.659 --> 00:17:18.529
- Well, it's been an eye opener to see the depth of anti-semitism
- 00:17:18.529 --> 00:17:22.099
- At our so-called elite universities.
- 00:17:22.099 --> 00:17:24.802
- It reveals that they've not been teaching our children,
- 00:17:24.802 --> 00:17:27.438
- But rather filling them with propaganda.
- 00:17:27.438 --> 00:17:30.774
- We have to change it.
- 00:17:30.774 --> 00:17:32.343
- Our colleges and universities must become more than just
- 00:17:32.343 --> 00:17:35.079
- Indoctrination centers for far left ideologies.
- 00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:38.816
- It doesn't make you enlightened to throw off the boundaries
- 00:17:38.816 --> 00:17:41.752
- That god gave to us, boundaries that enable us to flourish.
- 00:17:41.752 --> 00:17:46.624
- How dare they take our children and sexualize
- 00:17:46.624 --> 00:17:49.193
- Them and groom them for immorality and ungodliness,
- 00:17:49.193 --> 00:17:52.329
- And then tell us that we have to tolerate it.
- 00:17:52.329 --> 00:17:54.965
- We don't have to tolerate it.
- 00:17:54.965 --> 00:17:56.500
- And if we want to see our schools and universities change,
- 00:17:56.500 --> 00:17:59.603
- We as the church are going to have
- 00:17:59.603 --> 00:18:01.338
- To have the courage to raise our voices in a new way,
- 00:18:01.338 --> 00:18:04.475
- Even at the risk of persecution.
- 00:18:04.475 --> 00:18:06.977
- Showing boldness for god and his people has challenged
- 00:18:06.977 --> 00:18:09.947
- Every generation.
- 00:18:09.947 --> 00:18:11.549
- It's one thing to serve him
- 00:18:11.549 --> 00:18:12.583
- When it brings smiles and gratitude.
- 00:18:12.583 --> 00:18:14.718
- It's another thing to serve him when it brings challenges.
- 00:18:14.718 --> 00:18:17.655
- If we'll stand up,
- 00:18:17.655 --> 00:18:19.089
- There are more reasons for hope than despair.
- 00:18:19.089 --> 00:18:21.592
- I promise
- 00:18:21.592 --> 00:18:22.960
- When we come back,
- 00:18:23.394 --> 00:18:24.562
- We're going to read some emails.
- 00:18:24.562 --> 00:18:33.001
- We're going to read some emails.
- 00:18:33.001 --> 00:18:36.174
- Thank you for taking the time to send your emails.
- 00:18:37.209 --> 00:18:39.211
- It's always a highlight
- 00:18:39.211 --> 00:18:40.278
- When i get to read your thoughts and perspectives.
- 00:18:40.278 --> 00:18:42.847
- Michael wrote in and he said paul knew his rights
- 00:18:42.847 --> 00:18:45.517
- As a roman citizen,
- 00:18:45.517 --> 00:18:47.018
- You might not have understood all the ins and outs
- 00:18:47.018 --> 00:18:48.720
- Of the government of his time, but he knew enough.
- 00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:51.323
- We should understand, to defend our constitution
- 00:18:51.323 --> 00:18:53.758
- And the understanding of it.
- 00:18:53.758 --> 00:18:55.327
- We know joe biden as well as many of the
- 00:18:55.327 --> 00:18:57.229
- Public servants in washington, are guilty of treason.
- 00:18:57.229 --> 00:19:01.099
- Well, michael, i think you're on to something.
- 00:19:01.099 --> 00:19:02.734
- We've got to start teaching civics to our students again.
- 00:19:02.734 --> 00:19:06.805
- We've lost sight of how our government
- 00:19:06.805 --> 00:19:08.673
- Is supposed to function,
- 00:19:08.673 --> 00:19:10.375
- And we've accepted something that's not acceptable.
- 00:19:10.375 --> 00:19:14.312
- Don bradley,
- 00:19:14.646 --> 00:19:15.947
- Ask about the episode with lieutenant governor dan patrick.
- 00:19:15.947 --> 00:19:19.918
- Why do mini courts give the illegal aliens
- 00:19:19.918 --> 00:19:22.287
- Constitutional rights when they're guilty
- 00:19:22.287 --> 00:19:24.456
- Of criminal immigration laws breaking into the usa
- 00:19:24.456 --> 00:19:28.026
- When they're not legal citizens?
- 00:19:28.026 --> 00:19:31.529
- Well, i think the honest answer is that too many judges
- 00:19:31.529 --> 00:19:35.066
- Have a personal agenda that they put
- 00:19:35.066 --> 00:19:37.068
- In front of their responsibility to uphold the law.
- 00:19:37.068 --> 00:19:40.505
- It's a tragedy, and it has to change.
- 00:19:40.505 --> 00:19:44.009
- I just want to remind you, you go to aj now.com
- 00:19:44.976 --> 00:19:47.979
