Liberty & Justice for All Episode 1 Introduction & Political Persuasion Techniques - Duration: 18:29.
Hello and welcome to the liberty and justice for all podcast
This is emily olson checking in from Salt Lake City
this summer has been hot and smoky from multiple fires throughout the state of Utah and
From smoke that gets into the jet stream from other western states and Canada
My heart goes out to all those who have suffered loss as a result of the record-breaking blazes were trying to quell
This week was the funeral of Matthew Burchell an experienced firefighter from Draper, Utah
Who lost his life fighting wildfires in California? I?
Truly admire the outpouring of support for virtuals family friends and colleagues
Virtuals funeral was covered live on the local ksl radio this week and despite its utter sadness was a beautiful display of patriotism
And have a united community
It was a nice break actually from the usual national political rhetoric. That seems to be bombarding us lately
Regardless of your views on the environment regarding the causes of these ever frequent giant fires and
Despite what your opinions are in our current volatile political climate
We can all agree this week that Matthew Burchell who had fought wildfires for two decades is a hero
For all the lives he helped preserve and the property he's saved from damage
This is the first episode of the liberty and justice for all' podcast and the first in my political
series where I seek to make sense of the hot volatile political climate
We're in the middle of where the political parties have become more polarized today than I've ever seen. I
Come from a conservative family and have friends and
Extended family members who were raised an even more conservative families than me
I also have an increasing number of friends who have a left-leaning persuasion
now fairly recently
I dialed a few degrees to the left on the political spectrum and this summer
I officially went to the dark side and registered as a Democrat that
Doesn't necessary mean that I will only vote for Democrats now
I mean
I anticipate that sometimes a Republican candidate will align more with my views
But lately I have realized that my persuasions no longer matched those of the Republican Party today
The Republican Party in general has slipped more than a few notches to the right in recent years
So by default I move left but I also made some left-leaning changes to my views
It didn't happen overnight and I can't say that I can Chuck everything up to the fact that I married a Democrat five years ago
But that certainly played a role
My husband and I both follow politics closely
We both come from families that regularly discuss politics around the dinner table
So my husband and I discussed politics a lot together
even when we first started dating as it was a strong point of Attraction for both of us and
We found that we agree on most political subjects
He persuaded me on a few things and I probably influenced his views in other areas
I think that I should also explain that I feel like getting married
Being a life-changing decision that it is has given me a new perspective on issues such as reproductive rights
immigration laws and health care coverage
But lately I've had a lot to talk about regarding
National politics and I have a desire to add my voice to the sea of opinions out there
My main goal in this podcast is to explain as respectfully as possible to my conservative family and friends
Why I became a Democrat in all sincerity politics more than ever
Has become such a point of angst amongst even my close loved ones
That it has affected my desire to attend family dinners for fear that a heated political
Discussion might ensue. I am sure you or someone, you know can relate with me
There are at least three main reasons why I switched to the dark side
I refuse to be associated with any political party in which white supremacy or racism is an acceptable
mentality or practice
I'm also upset that the Republican Party continues slacking support for programs that help to take care of the poor
Further I am distraught by the Republican Congress which chooses to turn a blind eye to
the clear corruption displayed by President Trump
But before I plunge into extensive essays on each of these topics in this episode
I wish to discuss best practices for interpreting the media today
You may think I am completely changing the subject
But I believe that much of the disconnect happening in this country right now can be attributed not solely to the media
But also to our an interpretation of the media
With degrees and journalism and business much of my career has involved various aspects of marketing
so I absorb the media differently than many I
Have always been one of those people who enjoys the commercials as much as the show
Just asked my husband
Much to his annoyance. I will sometimes dissect a commercial to identify the market
they are trying to target as well as any
psychographics that they may be tapping into I mean national companies spend millions of dollars on advertising
So a commercial that may appear frivolous is actually developed very strategically down to the clothing and colors color themes
The commercials that pique my interest in this regard are often ones that are not designed to appeal to my particular
market group and I think
Why did a company spend that kind of money on such a random message?
If I look to see how for example maybe a middle-aged man
Or the caregiver of an elderly relative would view it the message usually becomes clear
It is with this mentality that we have needed to approach politics and the media lately
the world changed when the sitting president of the United States started using Twitter to communicate directly with his
constituents and with the world
social media and YouTube also speed up how quickly a new cycle lasts
Not too long ago a new cycle would usually last 24 to 48 hours
And now we just aren't getting all the news if we are tuning in only Wednesday
Today breaking news often evolves more quickly than we can blink
That is why I have made it my part-time job for the last two years to watch and read the news from multiple sources. I
Prefer to get the news and its rawest form reported right when it happens so that I can better distinguish between news and commentary
Unfortunately in some cases
Today we are distinguishing between commentary and propaganda
Lately it seems we have needed a map a guide an app whatever you want to call it to tell us what we should believe
When we should believe it and when we should be skeptical
Actually the guide from centuries ago about the boy who cried wolf
Still does a pretty good job at explaining things. Unfortunately, many of us are getting duped by wolves in sheep's clothing
Be aware that some radio talk-show hosts and cable news networks are commentaries disguised as news
we develop relationships with people based on their
Reliability and truth-telling track record the first time we hear that someone has been less than reliable
We double check the next time to make sure there is no mistake in our interpretation of their message
But if someone has been known to intentionally lie, it usually takes a long time if ever for us to regain trust in that person
So, how is it that we allow a double-standard to exist for politicians, how is it that Donald Trump can repeatedly lie about big things
But people still give him their trust. I mean, it's not just because he's the president of the United States
there's a 25th amendment that members of his cabinet or Congress could invoke if we their
Constituents had lost our confidence in the president and the Constitution has already established a line of successors
At least the first view of which our Republican in this case
Should the president leave office for any reason?
Could it be that we look past Trump's faults? Because we need him to stay in office for reasons
We consider more important than his integrity
Or maybe we think Trump is actually innocent and instead the victim of the wild lies of the Moller
Investigation the Justice Department and the so called fake media
Maybe we think that all concurrent politicians lie
So we could no longer use that as a measuring stick and must decide now on whose story is most believable or the most advantageous
After all trump is not only the president but he is the current leader of a major political party in the balance
Maybe you are like so many people I know who are completely
Frustrated with Washington politics right now and have decided to stop paying attention. If only it were that simple
We could just turn off Trump with our remote controls and he would go away
But as registered voters
It's our responsibility to make educated choices and do our duty in the polling booths
This November voting this hugely important. Don't let anyone else
anyone tell you otherwise you should be aware that the Moller investigation has accused the
2016 Trump campaign of intercepting
confidential strategy data from Hillary Clinton's campaign
through the help of Russian hackers
Trump is accused of using this data in the last few weeks before
The election to actually discourage would-be Clinton voters from making it to the polling booths
He utilized targeted social media efforts to tell people their votes didn't matter that Clinton would win anyway
And that she didn't need their vote
was that targeted social media effort in itself illegal
Probably not even if it should be but you can probably guess that
utilizing data that was hacked by the Russians in an American election is definitely illegal and
You can bet that Moeller has extensive evidence to back up his claims
Does that change the fact that Trump won the election No, will it ever?
Know the Electoral College assures us of that
Many members of Congress are taking the stance that we should wait for the Muller team to take its course and
Act when his team produces a report with its recommendations
Of course Muller is not the only one who is investigating Trump and his associates now
The pardon proof state of New York has issued lawsuits of its own that could ultimately bring Trump and others nice
More than ever we need to pay attention to what's happening in Washington as
It's going to take all of the established checks and balances including voters to make sure we are able to maintain the freedoms. We enjoy
that may sound alarmist, but I honestly believe our current president has some
Malevolent intentions of using his presidential powers to get richer and more powerful
At the expense of hurting American taxpayers the economy and anything else he can use as fodder. Oh,
But Trump claims that the economy is doing so well as a result of his brilliant nests
Just wait Trump will not have to get impeached for us to experience economic troubles at this point
We are already seeing signs of an economic downturn
Dairy farms being sold in the Midwest and factories closing on the eastern seaboard
Which are the direct result of Trump's tariffs and the retaliatory tariffs put on us in response
while aligning himself with Vladimir Putin of Russia and kim jeong-hoon of North Korea Trump has purposely
Alienated the leaders of Canada France Germany the United Kingdom
Not to mention the leaders of bleep whole countries like Haiti El Salvador or any of the 54 countries in Africa
but she wouldn't know any of that if you weren't watching the news is
to Trump's advantage that his constituents aren't looking when say
Cohen pleads guilty of crimes closely associated to Trump
Manafort gets convicted by a jury or the latest
the CFO of the Trump Organization has given immunity in exchange for his truthful testimony and
Fox News which some are calling state TV these days is
Careful to offer alternative programming during such events or give negative
Commentary in an attempt to discredit the accurate reporting from the so called fake news. I
Hate to burst your bubble
but I believe that Trump is not like a smart person as he claims to be an
evidence from multiple bankruptcies suggests
He is not a smart businessman, but I believe he is a fabulous marketer
Although he started his career in real estate the bulk of his business has been related to marketing
Trump University, how did he convince all these students that his degree program would prepare them for getting good jobs?
he has marketing skills for
Example he doesn't necessarily own the buildings that have his name on them
he just sells the marketing rights to companies that own glamorous high-rises casinos and vacation destination hotels is
True look it up. It has been Trump's business to convince everyone that he and his family are filthy
rich and in the aftermath of the Moller
Investigation Trump will put Bernie Madoff to shame when Trump is revealed as the biggest con artist the world has ever seen
One of trumps tried-and-true marketing tactics is excessive repetition of phrases to invoke almost a Pavlov like response
when Trump says witch-hunt do you automatically dismiss Muller the FBI the CIA and the entire Justice Department is having
nefarious intentions
When you hear no collusion, do you automatically think he's innocent?
Have you started associating in fake news as?
What Rush Limbaugh coin is a liberal media?
Another tactic is deflection
Trump uses this every day. I think his entire beef with LeBron James
Maxine Waters and NFL players kneeling for the national anthem
Was created to swamp the media with something other than the news Trump didn't want us to focus on that day. I
Think I'm making this up just see what Trump's response is the next time something big happens in the Moller
investigation
Like on Friday all of the sudden Trump tweets something that will compromise
Secretary Pompeii owes trip to North Korea and the trip is canceled as a result
This secretary Pompeo even have a scheduled trip to North Korea
perhaps the scariest tactic of all that Trump employs is called gaslighting which is sort of
the encompass 'men of all techniques I have mentioned the term comes from the
1938 British stage play by the same name that is known as in the US as angel Street
We're a husband psychologically abuses his wife over time by manipulating small elements of their environment
And insisting that she remembers things incorrectly with with the intent of getting her to question her sanity
And not trust her logic or instincts
Do you believe Trump's rhetoric that being educated is bad and fills your mind with foolishness?
Do you actually believe that the so-called lamestream media is?
Actually making all this stuff up about Trump to do so
They would have to coordinate with each other in the three seconds before releasing the next breaking news. Just
In the effort of making the president look bad
How is that even possible?
When he and Giuliani can't even get their story straight
About how much and when Trump knew about the hush money payments a stormy Daniels. I
Will tell you that I am like a smart person too and so are many of my listeners
I can see through Trump's propaganda techniques when we learned Trump has lied about one thing
it usually means that he has lied about another I
Can also tell he is full of crap about something when he degrades women or he uses a white
Supremacist language such as saying that a respectable member of Congress has a low IQ
Or referring to immigrants and minorities as subhuman animals
horrific
my advice
trust your instincts apply the same principles of integrity to Trump that you would require of your accountant or family physician and
Remember that this country was founded on principles of liberty and justice for all
Each of us in this country has a different view of our ideal utopia, but we forget that as Americans we are in this together
When we try to protect the rights of others, we are in essence protecting our own rights
After all, the United States is a constitutional republic which means that we protect the minority
Did you know that?
article 6 of the Constitution states
Quote political decisions shall stem from the well will of the majority
expressed by means of a free vote
The majority's decisions must heed the protection of the minorities and quote
to make our country work both the majority rule and the minority rights must be safeguarded as
You can see there is a lot to talk about right now and I have much to say
Look for more podcast soon that will break down many of the topics. I have discussed today and that welcome your feedback
The things that we have been taking for granted for decades just maybe shifting now is the time to pay attention to national
Politics so that we may continue to have liberty and justice for all
