You know, they this this is to go on to answer the question the guy asked earlier to build up on that answer about where they learn this stuff from.

David RisseladaGUEST
And I talk about this all the time, so I'm sorry if I sound like a dead horse, but maybe there's new people in the audience that haven't heard this.

David RisseladaGUEST
They did a study with the media, okay, with the War of the Worlds radio broadcast, right? Everybody remembers that, I think, back in the 1930s, the War of the Worlds was on the radio and somewhat upwards of like a million people responded to that broadcast like it was a real event.

David RisseladaGUEST
You know, people were outside shooting water towers with their shotguns because they thought they were UFOs or whatnot, you know.

David RisseladaGUEST
And so that kind of tracked with me too because the system that we're living in now for the people that are politically active, I mean, a lot of people aren't politically active at all and they live their lives in ignorant bliss, which must be kind of nice if you, if you think about it, but, um, the people that are so devoted to their political parties are so attached to the lies and to the, um, It's all a fabrication, and it just got me thinking, and we talked about this before, even the very system that we live in is a fabrication, this whole left-right paradigm that people attach themselves to.

David RisseladaGUEST
It's the actual system itself that keeps people attached to this illusion of choice that keeps people coming to the polls and continually voting for people that are just going to turn around and and lie and push the same agenda that the guy they just got rid of was pushing.

David RisseladaGUEST
And until people really wake up to that, this is just going to continue and continue.
