Incredible program. Thank you so much for uploading these. It's been tough to make them when they are a LIVE event as it's during my child's bedtime but I really wanted to hear this one (among many, many others)

America invented public relations. Goebbels was a fan of Edward Bernays, lessons were learned.

No, the United States absolutely did not “invent public relations.” Religions have served the basic function of controlling/steering the communal perception of reality virtually universally from at least the dawn of civilization.
