Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Michael Berry Show. Catherine Marr is the CEO of NPR.
Before that, she worked for UNISEEF, the National Democrat Institute,
the World Bank, in the US Department of State's Foreign
Affairs Policy Board. She's a bad woman, right, Let's get
that straight. Before joining in PR, she was also the

(00:24):
CEO of the Wikipedia Foundation, which is the parent company
of Wikipedia. It's always pestering you for money, and this
comes from her NPR bio. She also worked for five
years as CEO of the Wikipedia Foundation, responsible for the
success of Wikipedia, one of the nations one of the
world's most popular digital platforms. She led Wikipedia to its

(00:47):
highest brand trust since its founding, navigating the misinformation crisis
and global trust decline in media. This woman is like
the lady at bud Light who authorize the Dylan mulvany can.
This woman is out of touch with everyday Americans. So

(01:11):
with that resume, I can think of no one better
to navigate the misinformation crisis and the global decline in
media and trust in media. As she says, she must
cherish honesty and truth as much as red blooded Americans do.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
If she's making that claim, I.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Think our reverence for the truth might become, might have
become a bit of a distraction that is preventing us
from finding consensus and getting important things done.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Wait, let's hear that again.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I think our reverence for the truth might become, might
have become a bit of a distraction that is preventing
us from finding consensus and getting important things done.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
You see, if we have reverence for the truth that
becomes a distraction. You can't let the truth get in
the way of your cult ideology. She says it.

Speaker 3 (02:11):
Listen, I think our reverence for the truth might become,
might have become a bit of a distraction that is
preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
People like Catherine Marhr are pretentious and elitist, but it's
important to understand. And this is the problem with Kamalo.
They are radical and they are dangerous. They think you're stupid.
They think you are dumb. They think you are poor

(02:47):
white trash, and they're better than you. They think you're
a rube, a well scrubbed, hustling rub with a little taste.
Good nutrition has given you some length of bone, but
you're not more than one generation from poor white trash.

(03:10):
Well done, Ramon didn't think I could work some silence
of the Lambs into the show today, but I just did.
And your eyes are bugged out of your head for
a reason. Never doubt me on this. Never doubt me
on this. The people who listen to National Pretentious Radio
only do so because it makes them feel superior to you.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
The law received broad bipartisan support in the Tennessee legislature.
For IMPR news, I'm Rose Gilbert and Nashville.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
You're listening to NPR News from Washington. National Pretentious Radio
is presented with support from the Ford Foundation, the National
Endowment for the Arts, Baron Cat Ladies, the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wallace Foundation, and thanks to the
generous donations from people like you. People that claim to

(04:03):
be and think they are smart, not because of life experiences,
not through absorbing and synthesizing different viewpoints, not from trial
and error, but people that think they're smart because they
listen to NPR National Pretentious Radio.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
They listen to what people like Catherine Marr tell them
what the truth is, and it makes them feel smarter.
I will tell you what this show is, and I'll
tell you what this show is not. This show is

(04:37):
not in pr.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Are you a very sedited person who have just had
you a double Cafe express a lato with two pieces
of melbatose? Is you ready to listen to some heavily
slanted left wing propaganda in the form of news this morning?
How about some information from countries you ain't never heard about?
And don't get down then you listening to the rondamn

(05:03):
radio station because this is the Mica band program and
we do not play that upon him shoes.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Information has been top of mind for every American. Inflation
has been top of mind for every American, and Good
Morning America did a segment on how to combat the
high cost of living. This piece is a good example,

(05:34):
a textbook example of media bias. It's not as much
what they say as what they don't say, because, as
you'll notice this is Good Morning America, they never mentioned
why inflation.

Speaker 6 (05:53):
Is so high out to the rising costs of groceries.
They are up, as we know, twenty over the past
four years, and it is one of the things Americans
are most concerned about when it comes to the economy.
Becky is back with money saving tips for the next
time you head to the store.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Good Morning again, Becky.

Speaker 7 (06:12):
Robin grocery prices they've just been soaring over the last
few years, and we're all looking for ways to save
a lot of times, finding alternatives for pantry staples can
add up to saving some big bucks.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
I hope you save money on groceries.

Speaker 8 (06:28):
And Gena Zacharia aka The Saving Whiz, has creative ways
to fight inflation at the grocery store.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
One of those things was to process my own foods
so that I can save a ton of money. There
are definitely things that we buy at the grocery store
that we probably don't need to spend on.

Speaker 9 (06:43):
She says.

Speaker 8 (06:44):
Smart swaps and rethinking the packaging or quantities of staples
can add up to big savings. We had a grocery
store big bulk store to try some tips from The
Saving Whiz. First, avoid prepackaged items and instead package them
at home yourself.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
We have to understand that convenience comes at a premium price,
So the more that we can process things at home,
especially those things that don't take a lot of time,
we can save a lot of money.

Speaker 8 (07:10):
And it's not just prepackaged fruits and vegetables, but also snacks.
This warehouse store offers goldfish, both with and without individual sizes.
Because the amounts per box are different, we break them
down to ounces. The prepackaged is twenty eight cents per
ounce and the big bag eighteen cents per ounce. That's
a savings of six bucks per purchase or a thirty

(07:31):
six percent discount just for bagging the snacks yourself when needed.
Continuing the snack theme, popcorn. Buying a bag of kernels
and popping at yourself instead of buying pre popped that
can help you save a ton. This four dollars nineteen
cent bag of kernels can make one hundred and four
cups of popcorn. Pre popped corn like this has just

(07:51):
eighteen cups in a bag and costs three dollars and
ninety nine cents, so that's more than eighteen dollars in savings.
Another big opportunity to save bottled water. A case at
my big box store is four dollars, but for a
family of four, that could add up to hundreds of
dollars per year.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
There are so many other ways that you can get
great water without having to get the bottled water. Not
only does it save money, but it also saves on
a waste.

Speaker 9 (08:20):
Now one more thing about bottled water. Your local water
municipality has to publish info on the tap water and
its quality every year. The assumption that bottled water is
healthier for you that might end up costing you big time.
So it's worth looking up data about your local tap
water or researching the cost of a filter to install
under your sink. These are all simple ideas, Robin, but

(08:42):
in times of inflation, it's worth rethinking your routine.
