A lot of people are contacting me and asking: what do we do now? They say they can’t trust The New York Times or The Washington Post, but they feel like Trump is looking untrustworthy as well.

Everyone has their spin going and everyone just wants a political win. We Conservatives are stuck in the middle, but we’re stuck in the middle with the truth; because the truth is in the middle.

My plan is to eliminate voices from the conversation. I will stop listening to people that are completely irrelevant, people like Chuck Schumer. I want to act on the truth.

But we also need to ignore water carriers. If you meet someone who says that Donald Trump can do no wrong, you know that they are not operating in reality. Or they are trying to sell something that doesn’t exist.

We need to ignore the noisemakers and look at actions. What specific actions are being taken? I will judge real, specific actions that happen. And demand to see the source material when I read pieces on what is happening.

I’m not going to be part of the spin cycle within the cyclone of untruth and mistrust.

As always, please listen to the full audio clip for complete context.
