Speaker 2
Here's
Speaker 1
the best story of the day. This is Trump talking about the debates.
Speaker 2
All
Speaker 1
right, so Trump had a very long post on the truth platform. And I'm just going to read the whole thing. And I'm not going to read it because it has political interest whatsoever. This has no political interest. Here's how you should listen to it. He is one of the best writers in American history. I don't know anybody else who says that but
Speaker 2
me. But
Speaker 1
you really, really have to appreciate the quality of the writing. Now, I don't mean that he spells every word correctly. I don't mean that every sentence has the right grammar because remember, it's all unedited. He has no editor. You're seeing it right from his head to you. But I'm just going to read it's a long paragraph here about his thoughts on the last GOP debate and just listen to it for the writing quality, right? The humor and then listen to it for the visual persuasion. So what you're listening for is how he paints pictures with words. And he doesn't use too many words. And watch how every word is in the right place.
Speaker 2
Right?
Speaker 1
It's just brilliant. It's just flat out brilliant. All right, so this is Trump on the debates. I thought Ron DeSankdomonius was terrible with his bobblehead facial movements. And he's walking on eggs. Wow. So, so visual. But that sloppy Chris Christie. Wow. Sloppy. Wow. Chris Christie was worse.
Speaker 2
Now,
Speaker 1
now do you see how much he's set up in this? He's telling you, he's giving you two people, telling you they're terrible in the most visual way you could possibly. And then he gives you the hypnosis kicker. The hypnosis kicker is that one of them might be worse. Because if he makes you think which one is worse, he makes you stay there. Right? If he just said, this was a clown, this was a clown and moved on, well, your brain would move on too. And that would be, that'd be okay. That'd be okay writing.
Speaker 2
But what he
Speaker 1
says, what he gets to, but Chris Christie was worse. Now you have to go back and evaluate. All right. He is being sloppy, worse than being a bobblehead, walk-hand, eggs, sloppy versus the bobblehead. Well, if it was just sloppy versus bobblehead, that'd be about a tie. But if he had the eggs, the sloppy, but wait a minute, sloppy could be worse than eggs and bobbles.
Speaker 2
So
Speaker 1
the fact that he does that to your head in one
Speaker 2
sentence, it's the first sentence. It's the first sentence. All right.
Speaker 1
And then you talk about Christie still. He says, he's not fit mentally or physically to be president. Plus, he suffers from TDS, or Trump derangement syndrome.
Speaker 2
And levels not seen before. That's one of his
Speaker 1
best persuasion tricks. Again, if he tells you it's levels not seen before, you have to stop to say, well, is it? Or is it sort of similar to 2016? Or is it about where it was in 2018? Is it really levels we've
Speaker 2
not seen
Speaker 1
before? I'll tell you, the writing is so good. Level's not seen before. In other words, he puts a quote, a sick
Speaker 2
puppy. And even
Speaker 1
the puppy is visual. You can
Speaker 2
see the puppy.
Speaker 1
On top of
Speaker 2
it all, even on top of
Speaker 1
it is visual. His poll numbers are just 1%. In a class with Ada Hutchinson, he puts Ada in quotes. He puts Ada in quotes
Speaker 2
because
Speaker 1
he jokes. He used to joke that Hutchinson was ADA. The Americans would disability. You would have to know that background to know why he put his first aim in quotes. Oh my God. So you can't read past that without stopping. You just have to stop and laugh at the fact he put it in quotes. And then he says to Hutchinson, oh, no, I guess he's still talking about it. He's dead, but so is wrong. Whose weird bobbing head and fresh
Speaker 2
mouth makes his high heels look.
Speaker 1
His bobbing head and fresh mouth makes his high heels look.
Speaker 2
Oh, sorry.
Speaker 1
Wait, there's more.
Speaker 2
Oh, oh.
Speaker 1
And then he says about Ron again. He goes, he's walking
Speaker 2
on eggs. Oh, walk it
Speaker 1
out of eggs. It's supposed to be eggshells, but anyway. Bird brain, he's talking about it. Nikki Hilly. He's giving her a name, Bird Brain, I guess. This bird brain
Speaker 2
looked different.
Speaker 1
Bird brain looked different. Now, I don't know if you have this take, Nikki Hilly, but I
Speaker 2
thought she
Speaker 1
looked different. Did you have the same feeling? There's something about her face, right? Did her face look different? I didn't know why. I'm not an expert on that stuff. But I don't know. Is that like makeup or Botox? So I don't know what it was. Now I'm not going to say she looked worse. I thought she looked pretty good,
Speaker 2
but she looked different.
Speaker 1
Would you agree that she looked different? And he doesn't make any comment except
Speaker 2
that Bird Brain looked different. It's so visual.
Speaker 1
It's visual, but here's another hypnosis check. If you don't get specific, then people get to see the image the way they want. So if he said Bird Brain looked younger, then people would say, I don't know. Maybe I'm not sure she looked younger. So they'd have something to disagree with. If he said she looked like she had Botox, people would say, I'm not so sure it was Botox. So that would give them something to disagree with. If you say she looked different, you hit everybody. Because whether you think she looked better or worse or why she looked different, he opens it to all that so she just looked different. This by the way is right out of hypnosis. This is a specific lesson that you don't get too specific with your suggestions. You let the brain fill in the blanks the way it wants to fill them in. It's just brilliant. All right, so Bird Brain looked different and lost. She did look kind of lost. When Vivek was going after her and she had that blank expression, she looked
Speaker 2
lost.
Speaker 1
But I give her a second place. And they says, the Vivek
Speaker 2
wins all in caps because he thinks I'm
Speaker 1
great.
