Join them at ExpressVPN.com slash ben. Well, folks, it is hard to know what to think these days. One of the reasons that it's very difficult to know what to think is because we don't have a common set of facts. And one of the reasons that we don't have a common set of facts is because our legacy media do not tell you the whole truth. A legacy media pick and choose which narratives are the ones that you are supposed to be told about because you can't be trusted with the actual fact in many, many cases. And what this means is that very often you'll see a crime and it's perfectly obvious what the motivation for the crime is, but you're not told the motivation for the crime. Or there's a crime and you're not told all the relevant facts about the crime because you can't be trusted with those facts. But certain other types of crime, the motivation will be made known to you absolutely at the very beginning. The identity of the person who committed the crime will be given to you right at the beginning. And so you start to think as the consumer, I don't know what to believe because sometimes the motivations are hidden. Sometimes the motivations are handed to me. And sometimes I don't know enough about the crime to even tell. And what I'm supposed to believe the media, when then they lay out a set of fact that obviously lead toward one narrative, but refuse to lay out a completely different set of facts in another case, that lead toward a narrative they don't particularly like. This leads to mass confusion when it leads to speculation and it leads to people putting out bad information and it

1:31.1

leads to people believing that bad information. Let me give you today's example. So,

1:35.4

over the weekend, there's a horrific shooting in Allen, Texas, at a mall. And federal officials

1:41.3

immediately have come out and mentioned the motivation of the shooter in this particular case.

1:47.0

According to the Associated Press, federal officials are looking into whether the gunmen who killed eight people at a Dallas area mall expressed an interest in white supremacist ideology on Sunday as they worked to discern a motive for the attack.

1:57.1

A law enforcement official told the Associated Press, the official caution the investigation is in its early stages. So federal officials are immediately leaking into the Associated Press and other members of the media that they think this is a white supremacist shooting. Now, what's weird about that is that this happened in Allen, Texas. I believe virtually everybody who was shot was white. The shooter in this case, and we don't mention the names of mass shooters on my program, because

2:18.0

as a member of the media, I tried to do the only responsible thing I can do in this position,

2:22.8

which is to not glorify by naming shooters, their actual names. The name of the shooter, and I won't

2:27.7

mention his actual name, is extremely Hispanic. This is an extremely Hispanic name. And so it is

2:33.1

pretty obvious that this not only is an extremely Hispanic name, it turns out that

2:36.9

the parents of the suspected Texas mulchew have actually had to request a translator, according

2:41.4

to reports cited by Fox News.

2:43.7

The only details regarding the suspector that he was in his 30s and lived at home with his

2:47.7

parents.

2:48.0

Apparently he had some background as a security guard.

2:51.5

There was some talk about him being discharged from the military that he'd served in the army

2:55.3

and then he'd been discharged for being mentally unwell. But there's a person who is not white.

3:01.1

This is a person with a Hispanic background. And he's immediately being labeled by the entire
