Gun-owning French national knows MORE about U.S. politics than most Americans

I just had an interesting conversation with a French national in a gun store in Texas.
I was in the store and it just struck up a conversation.
With this guy, and he's obviously French.
He spoke with a very noticeable French pronunciation, but he had good English.
And he's a concealed carry holder in Texas, so he's, I guess, a citizen of America.
And he knew more about American politics and what's going on in Washington and the deep state and President Trump and all this stuff.
He knew more than, I would say, 99.99% 100% of most Americans.
I mean, the guy was incredibly well-informed.
And the reason I mention this, I like to interact with people out in public When I can, but sometimes it's not safe to do so.
So I never go to places where it's pre-announced that I'm going to be there unless I have security arranged.
But, you know, I just go to random locations at random times, you know, a random restaurant or a random grocery store or one of many various gun shops where I know what they specialize in, whether it's ammunition or bolt-action rifles or what have you.
This is the way I encounter people, and I like to talk with people as I do this because I find it very fascinating to learn what people know or what they think about what's happening.
But this guy wins the prize for the most educated non-American in America.
He was, like, really well-educated.
But in contrast to that, it reminded me of how little most Americans know about what's happening in their own country.
The masses are oblivious.
They truly are.
Now there are a few informed individuals, a relatively small number, let's say, I don't know, maybe 1% of the population.
We'll call it like 3 million, okay?
Just as a guess, 3 million people.
And most of those 3 million people probably are familiar with my work or the work of other independent media sources, and they get good information from the independent media.
They can't believe that they are surrounded by the other 99% who are totally oblivious and clueless to everything that's happening.
And you're probably one of the 1% of the most informed, so you're probably nodding your head like, yeah, I know.
And it's your encounters with family members sometimes or friends or social gatherings.
Maybe you go out with old friends that you haven't seen for a few years.
You get together with them now and you realize, oh my God, they are clueless.
They're completely stupid.
They have no idea what's happening in the world.
Yes, this has happened to us all.
It's like you can never go back really to your high school friends or your college friends because they're very different now.
They're not informed anymore.
You know, remember back in college, I don't know if this is a bit of a tangent here, but back in college I remember like all of us We're independent creative thinkers, and we all had plans to do really cool, amazing things in the world.
And I go back to people I knew in college, and most of them, with some exceptions, but most of them have not done jack crap in the world.
They're just working for pharmaceutical companies or working for a payroll company or whatever.
And all those dreams and all those visions Just fell apart, and now they're just conformists.
And that's the way the system wants it.
The system wants everybody to be a conformist.
And one of the easiest ways to do that is to tie you in financially.
So you get a paycheck from a company.
So you can't speak out, really, because the company might yank your paycheck if you say the wrong things.
And this is why the best voices in independent media are people who run their own shops.
I mean, that's what independent should mean, right?
So independent media should mean people who run their own shops.
If you have a journalist working for CNN, of course that journalist is constantly lying to you because that's their job.
Their job is to be an actor.
They're told what to say.
They're told how to say it.
They're told which phrases to use to say it.
They can't say what they really want to say.
And that's why a lot of people leave CNN or they leave NBC or the mainstream media and they start their own independent operation.
Usually they make a lot less money because it's hard to earn a living being an independent journalist.
But for many people, that's fine.
They have their freedom.
They have their voice.
They're pursuing something that matters.
And they're not a slave to the system.
So independent journalists are very courageous people, and they're people who are willing to, well, they value truth more than they value just a paycheck.
I mean, everybody's got to have a paycheck, but I admire people who value truth more than the money.
And there are a lot of people out there like that.
Cheryl Atkinson is one of them.
You know, Gary Franchi, I believe, is another who's doing great work.
There are many individuals who deserve to be recognized.
You know, so many out there.
Lots of websites that I've mentioned frequently.
A lot of sites that you can see on censored.news.
Again, censored.news is the website.
You can see real-time headlines from many different censored news sources.
But a lot of people deserve recognition for being strong, independent-minded journalists.
And they're the ones that you should listen to.
They're the ones telling the truth.
And what's really crucial to understand is that you're going to get a different report every day from each of those individual journalists because there is no central memo that they're given.
They're not told what to say.
They don't get orders from headquarters.
They decide what to cover.
They decide what to say.
They decide what's important news for their audience, just like I do.
I don't know if you know this, but every day I go through dozens of headlines, stories, sometimes academic research that's harvested by my research staff.
And then I get to approve which articles we're going to cover or which articles that we're going to ignore because there's not enough space.
And so every day, to me, it's like a goldmine thing.
Of stories that are out there, amazing stories, and I get to choose like the top, the most amazing stories to cover.
And so that's why you see such a strong focus on stories about natural medicine or liberty or sometimes new inventions for future technology, sometimes space exploration.
Did you know I have a website called space.news?
And it's about space travel and space exploration and astronomy and discovery of life on other planets and things like that.
So, you know, it's interesting.
Check it out, space.news.
I know, it's like every podcast I tell you about another website we have.
And people are like, how on earth do you run all these websites?
Ha!
Well, there's some trade secrets of how we run all these websites, but we do.
So space.news is one of them.
But anyway, getting back to the main point, you know, individual journalism is where the action is really at.
If you want the truth about what's going on in the world, that's where you need to turn.
And getting back to the Independent media sources.
Most Americans just read whatever news source by default comes up on their phone or whatever just shows up on the screens at the airport or whatever.
They're at a hotel and there's a USA Today newspaper.
They just read that.
They don't realize it's socially engineered, largely fake news.
It's a narrative that's pushed by the establishment in order to limit your freedom, limit your awareness, and keep you as a slave to the system.
It's only when you go to the independent media that you become free.
That's actually a really important point I'm going to make in another broadcast coming up soon.
But independent media sets you free.
Mainstream media keeps you enslaved.
So keep all that in mind.
