If this is the truth :), it's not clear how this fact could be known.
There can be, and often are, multiple true things simultaneously that don't agree with each other. Take for example the four gospels. We now use the word gospel to mean "truth"; yet the four accounts of the same events vary significantly from one another, to such an extent that Thomas Jefferson was moved to burn the midnight oil cutting the New Testament apart with a razor blade, removing redundancies, inconsistencies and contradictions, and assembling them into one cohesive whole, called the Jefferson Bible. (He saw fit to excise the entire Old Testament as irrelevant in light of the coming of Jesus.)
Were Matthew, Mark, Luke and John not each one telling the truth, his truth, the way he saw it? How can it be known which one was closer to the actual Truth?
Regardless, this weird woman onstage prattling on as though NO truth really matters as much as "getting things done"—presumably, things that rely on lying—is a perfect CEO for NPR, a bastion of falsehood. She just stood there and set the stage for continuing the legacy of lies.
For that matter, how do we know who wrote the Gospels? The writer's names were not written on the top in the originals. It was because of tradition that we accept they were written by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Nobody knows who wrote Hebrews. Hebrews never claims to be breathed from God.
It is only by accepting someone OUTSIDE the Bible that one can come to the conclusion those 27 books are God's words.
The Bible didn't fall out of the sky.

Maybe you've read The Age of Reason by Thomas Paine, one of America's Founding Fathers. :)
