 This episode brought to you by Noble Gold. You know, it's a new year time for new things with a new administration in Washington Our friends at Noble Gold have all the protection you need how by using gold and silver in your own IRA You insulate it from the markets If anything bad happens, you're safe and dry protect with a gold IRA this month and noble gold will give you this stunning Solid silver Apollo 11 commemorative coin from the US Mint So it's worth jumping on the phone and calling 877-646-5347 now That's 877-646-5347 Hey, welcome back everybody wanted to show you this story We all already know that NPR National Public Radio and PBS that these outlets are biased They are politically biased to the left and more specifically to the Democrat Party So the article starts out here a number of public radio outlets and staffers have endorsed a new vision statement The calls for ending objectivity paying reparations and endorsing statements of belief Including climate change is real and black lives matter and a bid to create an anti-racist future Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and just assume that when they say anti-racist they mean extremely racist Which is how all this stuff goes with these Orwellian Marxist folks and make no mistake All of this stuff comes from Marxism and critical race theory But we'll get back to that here in a little bit a climate change is real and black lives matter to very innocuous phrases, right? I mean climate change is real. Yeah, I I don't know anybody who denies climate change is real even people who stand against our critical of Anthropomorphic global warming that's man-made global warming They don't necessarily disagree that climate change is real everybody knows that the earth's climate changes and has changed for a long time So it's an innocuous statement same with black lives matter. Everybody knows we've talked about this before besides some fringe lunatics sociopaths out there that don't think that black lives matter But you know those people don't think any lies matter. They they're sociopaths But you know normal people believe both you know agree with both those statements problem is The they're both Trojan horses because the people that want you to make these statements of belief They all come from this far-left Marxist and I think ultimately communist movement that's literally trying to take over this country right now So they signed a new call to action that demands public media atone for past racism and hire black indigenous and people of color Which essentially means hire anybody but white people and this whole thing about atoning for past racism. I mean a lot of this stuff has to do with Groveling essentially to this to this group that are making essentially these threats and are demanding that people Agree with them and make all these statements so that Nobody has any scrutiny or criticism. We know that none of that's allowed You just must agree with what they say with their beliefs and believe me there There's no peer-reviewed facts or studies or data or anything that Backs up what any of these people are claiming but one thing you're gonna notice in all of this is a real lack of scrutiny or criticism from anybody and We all know why that is because anybody who dares question any of this is gonna be set upon as You know racist white supremacist or whatever other word bomb that they're gonna throw at you to shut you up So this goes on the document published by current and I have that article here the publication for public media workers declared White supremacist culture and anti-blackness Shape the policies norms and standards of public radio. I mean really really no As newsbusters points out NPR is all things considered had a black co-author Michelle Morris and then a black co-anchor Audie Cornish Weekend all things considered stars black anchor Michael Martin NPR added a code switch project in 2013 To pacify the desire to talk endlessly about race and that included a promotional interview in August with the author of the book Indefensive looting NPR actually had to apologize for that piece actually Saying that code switch brings the NPR audience provocative research all the time It's part of their mission to advance the conversation on race Australia went on to say that the looting is ensured that looters Target businesses that aren't rooted in the local community and that the civil rights movement only adopted non-violence to appeal to white Northerners all those statements deserve pushback Coast which editor Stephen Drummond said that the article was fact-checked, but not enough We have updated the intro to this interview to give readers more context He wrote in an email this notion of looting and the role it plays in public discourse is a fair target And we often interview authors who have controversial opinions and viewpoints We should have challenged them more But yeah all these things really and combined with the fact that NPR and public radio in general and the media in general Are in the tank for one party the Democrat party the the left party and so You know one thing that I would say is that there's definitely some you know some bias and stuff going on over an NPR Which isn't right because it is public radio, which means that we all pay into that now They would tell you oh, it's just 1% It's just 1% well guess what folks that's millions and millions of dollars It's like these people expect public radio to be there to fund and drive their revolution You know they're they're far-left narrative and agenda. So there's this lady Celeste Headley and she tweeted out Bragging that we are edging toward 400 signatories with support from eight Organization but just to give you a little taste of who Celeste is just check out this clip My book didn't start out as a book my book started out as a research project to figure out what was going wrong in my own life So I tried to figure out what was causing that and what I realized it wasn't a problem unique to me It was actually a problem in our broader society and it was built by design not within the past 20 years but two to three hundred years ago And these toxic habits that every generation has leaned into and leaned into until here We are where we're miserable the cult of efficiency is a phrase that Bertrand Russell coined Decades ago. This was in like the 1930s and yet We didn't heed his warning. We have sort of kept joining the cult and bringing our kids into the cult loving the cult the cult of efficiency is this idea that If you are more efficient and more productive, you're a better person the amount of work that you produce that makes you a good human being And it's a cult because that's not natural and it's something that we have to be indoctrinated into and we have been And we're really really good cult members at this point, but we kind of need a little bit of a deprogramming Well, well, well, there's that phrase again deprogramming We've been hearing a lot of that lately, haven't we and I just want to say the level of work One does does make them more valuable. It doesn't necessarily make them a better person And that's something she just came up with all on her own, but it definitely makes you more valuable There is one place where all of this rhetoric would find a nice home and that's communism You don't believe me just look at this and they say it's time for a new kind of journalism anti-racist journalism We hope to tear down public radio in order to build it back up public radio newsrooms must transform their coverage By insisting on diverse newsrooms ending the pursuit of objectivity rigorously pursuing racial diversity in sourcing and audiences and developing ethics codes that embrace anti-racism and harm reduction I think that none of this stuff is based in any kind of like logic or reason or objectivity It's just like that document that was put out by the Smithsonian attacking white supremacist Western culture if you look at that document What did it say it said objective and rational linear thinking rational thinking is white supremacist everybody Cause and effect relationships Quantitative emphasis. I mean scientific method folks. This is how we've progressed as a society and it's funny too Because if you scroll down here The Protestant work ethic hard work is the key to success work before play if you didn't meet your goals You didn't work hard enough and we see that that's what Celeste Headley is all about and so all of this stuff really goes back to critical race theory criticisms of critical race theory People like Jeffrey Pyle wrote that critical race theorists attack the very foundations of the classical liberal legal order including equal Equality theory legal reasoning Enlightenment rationalism and neutral principles of constitutional law these liberal values They allege have no enduring basis and principle, but are mere social constructs calculated to legitimate Legitimate white supremacy. There's also been legal criticism of critical race theory saying that what is most arresting about critical race? Theory is that it turns us back on the Western tradition of rational inquiry Force-wearing analysis or narrative rather than martial logical arguments and empirical data critical race theorists all tell stories fictional science fictional quasi-fictional autobiographical Anecdotal designing to expose pervasive and the debilitating racism of America today And I agree with this 100% you see this in the media reporting of police shootings. I've talked about this a lot Do you ever see them reporting on unarmed white people were shot by police? No, they don't they only report on Black people who were shot by police and even then they'll withhold that details about those shootings and just sort of paint all of them as Unjustified or racially motivated in some way and another criticism here that I found Pretty interesting is from a judge Alex Kozinski and he said the radical multiculturalist views raised insupportable barriers to mutual understanding and that's the way this seems like the the Demands that they're making in this article. There's like no room for any discussion or they are Demands and you must make them you must not criticize or question anything that we're saying you must just fall into line I'm near the end here they have a bunch of statements of support from different public radio stations and I don't want to go through all of them But one of them here at near the end is just the statement of support and it says, you know We we are doing our best to to get people of color into these positions because that's the way it should be And thank you for your leadership and I look forward to watching public media begin a long needed transformation Long-need Steve Swanson. Well, who's Steve Swanson? Steve Swanson's a white guy Well, Steve Swanson if you really believe all this is this true and Above any kind of scrutiny or criticism or questions of any kind. Well, why aren't you stepping down? Why are you staying in this position? Oh, oh, he just means all those other white people need to go not him because he likes being in that job He's not going to give up that job implementation includes unusual changes in the newsroom One for example is to create statements of beliefs for a journalist, which you already talked about Also white managers are cited for not promoting minorities should be replaced Okay, so if you're a white manager and you're not playing along You're not hiring people based on their skin color like avoiding don't hire white people hire these people You're going to be replaced. Guess what? You're going to become one of the people that we're getting rid of one of those icky white supremacist people We're going to get rid of all that if you're not playing along. You're with the white supremacists What's more the diversity of sources used by reporters must be analyzed to make sure it's not too white I mean listen to this stuff folks. I mean, can you imagine? Let's say that they were talking about jewish people Oh, I We got to make sure that these sources aren't too jewish because you know how them jewish people are I'm not saying this. I don't believe this, uh, susan Just so you know, I have no problem with jewish people. I'm being sarcastic here to prove a point Minority hiring should surge it warned if you're not getting applications from qualified black indigenous or people of color You outreach as for reparations in addition to apologies to individuals and communities public media leaders should offer specific concrete forms of Reparations and accountability to the people armed and you know a lot of this stuff the apologies It reminds me so much of what you see from these communist countries Are these countries with dictators or whatever they have political prisoners and they force them to make political statements As if to kind of alleviate them of any criticism or questioning Uh, because once you apologize, well, then you've just admitted it. The debate is over. Yeah, folks. I don't know Look, I'm against racism. I I love to eradicate racism Although I'm not sure how possible that is because racism is something that's just sort of a part of humanity And it really just deals with people's own inner thoughts And so I don't think that you're ever unless you're policing people's thoughts or somehow Controlling their thoughts. I don't know how you're ever gonna do that I think you just sort of have to live in a world where you realize there's going to be assholes and just try to Be the best person that you can be and treat people like you want to be treated This kind of stuff is nefarious af And not for least of which because you know, they see things as emphasis on scientific method Or work ethic as something negative or something that needs to be eradicated Or something that they attach to this nebulous ghost ghostly monster called white supremacy
