Getting a liar to lie may not be a winning strategy; or, How the Elite live in their groupthink of self-delusion

On today's show, I use the testimony of Michael Cohen to illustrate a premise I believe is in full-swing here in the United States (and maybe much of the Western world). I titled the episode, "Getting a liar to lie may not be a winning strategy; or, How the Elite live in their groupthink of self-delusion." Every story I have today falls within that paradigm of lying, ignoring new information, parroting state approved talking points and never thinking critically. Whether it's Michael Cohen testifying about how much he lies, to Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) admitting he was instrumental in prepping Cohen to testify, to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan telling us that "no president has stood stronger with Israel than Joe Biden," it's all about manipulation and creating a world of make-believe. Former Press Secretary Jen Psaki had to eat crow and admit she lied in her book, saying Joe Biden never looked at his watch when the bodies of 13 American soldiers were flown back from his disastrous retreat out of Afghanistan. Joe Biden can no longer even read all the words on his teleprompter, but he has no problem telling us he picked Kamala Harris "because he wanted a VP that was smarter than him." Imagine that comparison. If she is smarter than he is, what does that say about him? And, to demonstrate just how bright she is, her first comment is to tell the crowd to take a seat, yet they are outdoors with no seats in sight, so she cackles as if she meant it as a joke. J oe Biden castigated Donald Trump over tariffs he put on China. Now, Biden is in the awkward position of having to admit Trump's policies were correct, since he just announced tariffs on China. Current DEI hire, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, unsurprisingly, could not explain the shift. Latest numbers of younger voters and black voters are shifting more and more to Donald Trump. Former Green Czar to President Barack Obama and current CNN analyst, Van Jones, was asked if this was a wake-up call to Biden and democrats? Finally, we close with teacher Warren Smith being fired four months after a viral video. The video was a perfect demonstration of getting a student to think for themselves and to learn how to think critically. Naturally, in today's climate, that is a blasphemy that will not be tolerated within the church of the Ivory Tower.
