With the vast amount of information that we have access to, there is confusion as to how one should perceive the world. Reggie and Brian are two guys who seek to share their journey and wisdom garnered from their faith and life experience to lend a hand in understanding the reality we live in. We, as men, are here on this earth to be leaders, husbands, fathers, sons, friends, brothers, uncles, nephews, and witnesses. R & B Talks is one place where we try to cut through the noise of the culture and the world and help give some real transparent views on important aspects of life, men, Christianity, or whatever comes up. Join us as we have real unscripted discussions about issues and life.

It was a brief professional performance that lasted exactly one human lifetime — built on specific regulatory, economic, and ideological conditions that no longer exist. Part 1 of two walks the hundred-year structural story: how it was built, why it was never clean, and how every pillar got rewritten in a single twelve-month window in 1996. KEY TOPICS: - Tyndale, Wycliffe, and the long pre-history of information control - The Gallup trust collapse (68% in 1972 → 28% in 2025) and what it actually measures - Lippmann vs. Dewey — the debate that built the modern profession - Edward Bernays, the manufacture of consent, and the 1954 Guatemala coup - The Hutchins Commission, Henry Luce, and \"social responsibility journalism\" - Operation Mockingbird, the Church Committee, and Bernstein's 400 journalists - The Fairness Doctrine repeal (1987) and the Telecommunications Act (1996) - Sinclair Broadcast Group, the Trusted News Initiative, and the Twitter Files SCRIPTURE: Acts 17:11; Matthew 21:12-13 PRIMARY SOURCES MENTIONED: - Licensing of the Press Act 1662 - Lippmann, Public Opinion (1922); Dewey, The Public and Its Problems (1927); Bernays, Propaganda (1928) - Hutchins Commission, A Free and Responsible Press (1947) - Church Committee Final Report (1976); Bernstein, Rolling Stone (Oct 20, 1977) - Trusted News Initiative — BBC press release, March 2019 - Twitter Files (December 2022) — R&B Talks: 2 Guys. 2 Chairs.
