What is your point exactly? If you think that "they can't be trusted" is a valid argument to not listen you are ignorant. You are looking at the world through an "argument from authority" fallacy lens. You are basing your belief in what is said on how much authority and trust you place in the speaker. That works as a crutch for low IQ people, but that is not how I look at things. I believe in evaluating every argument on the merits of the argument irrespective of who said it or why they said it.

Furthermore, even if you show that they are constantly bullshiting about one topic that does not automatically mean that everything they say is bullshit. Not least of all because they have guest speakers who speak for themselves.

When did I ever bring up an argument NOT to trust them. Trust him, Erik Prince, the SHillmen Foundation and PragerU all you want. But remember, Mossad and Israeli intelligence orchestrated 9/11. O'Keefe does what he is told and paints a partisan light on it.

Trust him

You STILL don't get it. It has nothing to do with trust. YOU see the world through the lens of authority. It doesn't have to be that way.

That is the ONLY way they force upon us.
