Joshua, once again a well reasoned statement on a horrific event. Thank you!!!

Oh how I miss your insight on our airwaves. This is the kind of clear-eyed reporting we are starving for right now. Five years later, it feels like the 'first draft of history' is being actively rewritten on the major networks. Thank you for having the integrity to call things exactly what they are—without the spin. We need this kind of backbone back on our airwaves more than ever.

I think this is an excellent point but there aren't enough specifics in this initial discussion to be actionable. Could you make another video at some point about how you would actually tactically adopt this strategy?

Absolutely! Trust me, there’s a lot more to come this year. Just wanted to get this off my chest as a starting point. I won’t leave you hanging!

One thing I think is actionable: persuasion = information + presentation. It’s not just what you say, but how palatably you can say it that makes people easier to inspire.

Joshua, what is needed is for the right to stop telling lies. They are still saying that the election was stolen. They are still being told the dems were the attackers Jan 6 when they admit there was an attack. Trumpy is still saying it was a day of LOVE. So much shit. Any thinking person would be questioning how so many different things could be true. They don't think.

And since they won’t stop… since they make too much money and amass too much power by not stopping… what then? Do we stay bitter, or do better?

I cannot control what others do. I have total control of what I do, and I choose to do what I know to be effective. That’s what I’d recommend for everyone but, again, that’s not up to me.
