Erika Kirk vs Candace Owens on Tyler Robinson | Experts Decode Every Nonverbal Signal
Watch on YouTubeVideo summary
The video features an in-depth analysis of a debate between Erika Kirk and Candace Owens, hosted by Tyler Robinson, where experts decode the nonverbal signals and body language displayed during the conversation. The central subject revolves around Erika's firm assertion that her husband was murdered by Tyler Robinson, a claim she supports with immediate conviction and detailed knowledge of the case files. While Erika expresses concern about potential jury tampering due to widespread conspiracy theories involving other high-profile cases like the United Healthcare trial, the experts note that her delivery is marked by intense emotion, including visible rage and sorrow, which complicates the perception of her logical arguments. Despite these emotional undercurrents, the analysts observe that her core message remains consistent and truthful, as evidenced by her lack of hesitation when answering direct questions about the murder.
Throughout the discussion, the experts highlight several specific nonverbal behaviors that reveal Erika's psychological state rather than deception. For instance, when asked a question she knows well, she answers instantly but then exhibits a "freeze" or scans the room, which the analysts interpret as an attempt to regulate overwhelming emotions or find a neutral focal point like flowers on the table to avoid aggressive eye contact. The experts explain that this behavior is common for individuals under extreme stress who are trying to maintain composure while conveying complex truths. They also point out her use of persuasive techniques, such as speeding up her cadence, increasing volume, and using expansive hand gestures, which are typical tools for an entertainer or communicator aiming to persuade an audience rather than indicators of lying. These actions are described as part of her professional baseline and a way to engage the audience in a "live theater" style performance.
A significant portion of the analysis focuses on how Erika navigates the tension between factual claims and conspiracy theories, particularly regarding the alleged shooter and the involvement of military personnel. The experts discuss how she employs rhetorical strategies that create gaps in information, inviting the audience to fill them with their own assumptions, a technique rooted in postmodern philosophy known as category destruction. While some panelists argue that these tactics could be seen as deliberate manipulation to keep the narrative open-ended for entertainment value, others contend that Erika genuinely believes what she is saying and is simply struggling to explain anomalies in a case that feels too simple to her. The consensus among the experts is that while there are many suspicious elements and factual inconsistencies in the broader story, Erika's demeanor suggests she is not deceptive but rather a passionate advocate trying to make sense of a tragic event through the lens of her beliefs.
Ultimately, the video concludes by distinguishing between performance and deception, warning viewers against confusing an individual's ability to communicate effectively with dishonesty. The experts emphasize that grief often manifests in complex ways, including rage, numbness, and strategic communication, which can be misinterpreted by those expecting a specific emotional baseline. They note that Erika is adapting to a new role as a leader and spokesperson for her movement, which requires her to manage intense emotions while defending her husband's memory against various narratives. The final takeaway is that while the case contains numerous anomalies and unproven claims, Erika appears to be operating from a place of genuine belief and passion, using her skills as a communicator to navigate a difficult situation without necessarily intending to mislead the audience.

We had the best time doing the initial
breakdown of the body language and
behavior in this video, and we decided
we'd revisit some of our favorite
moments from it.
>> Do you believe that Tyler Robinson
murdered your husband?
>> Yes, I do.
>> Why do you think it is so hard for so
many people to believe that reality?
>> Cuz it's too simple.
Again, everyone always has to think
there's more to the story. Well,
sometimes there's not. I've seen the
autopsy report. I've seen our case
pulled together. I've been in constant
contact with our lawyers, our our the
process the prosecuting team.
I've seen it all. And let me tell you
this, why in the world
why should we
prior to the trial lay all of our hands
and cards on the table for the defense
team to see to somehow then
I don't even know what they would do
with it, but what I what I do will say,
and I want to get on the Egyptian plane
thing, take a flight on that for a
second. What I will say is what I'm
worried about and I'm fascinated
just from a legal standpoint to see how
the United Healthcare trial pans out.
And I say that because this is the first
time where we are seeing the
implications
>> You're talking about Luigi Mangione.
>> Correct. I'd prefer never to say any of
their names. They do not even deserve
the ounce of oxygen and breath out of my
body. But what I mean is it's
fascinating to see how
social media will impact that core case.
Just how it might impact mine.
>> Are you worried Chris is not going to
get a fair trial?
Are you
>> Well, I'm nervous that there could be a
they'll they'll say we can't find a
a fair jury. Like they're going to taint
the jury pool. And in that case
>> That's how widespread you think these
conspiracies have gone?
>> Yes, that's how mainstream they become.
Okay.
>> All right. That was fairly interesting.
A lot going on with me.
>> She says yes immediately.
>> that Tyler Robinson murdered your
husband?
>> Yes, I do.
>> No qualifiers, no softeners, which by
itself I think is a solid marker of
truth, but her body locks up. Her eye
contact goes really wide, like she's
looking out in the distance.
Uh
she's kind of doing a left-right scan,
maybe it probably of the host, just kind
of scanning back and forth, which we see
people who are checking how their
message is being received. I'm wondering
what what is your opinion about this,
like answer and then the freeze here.
But I But I think the rest of her body
language is congruent. It's telling.
There's no hesitation, there's a change
in cadence when she makes a point,
there's a voice tone telling, her
illustrators are moving on her hands. I
mean, everything looks good. There's
that pause, agreed, but it could be
because she's heard this many different
conspiracy theories, and I have a theory
on that. But she has this many different
conspiracy theories, she's prepared for
a pushback. It can
>> Yeah, I think I think the freeze there
is is the rage and the sorrow, her
trying to contain the the emotion. Cuz I
think she has a legitimate, logical
[clears throat] concern about about
this, that you you you just won't be
able to find a jury
who haven't been influenced in some way.
>> Well, I'm nervous that there could be
they'll they'll say we can't find a
fair jury. Like they're going to taint
the jury pool.
>> Seems totally legit legitimate to me,
but it's hard for her to get that across
because she's so consumed with the the
despair and the rage and the and the
sorrow. So I think she does a pretty
good job of eventually
getting to her logical point, but I
think she's trying to control some
strong emotions while she's doing that.
>> that first part, where she answered so
quickly, back to your thing, Chase,
is because she knows the answer to that.
I mean, she she knows what she thinks
about that, and she's sick of hearing
it. And I think she's offended by it.
You know, as you would be as any of us
would be when they say, "Oh, there's all
this stuff going on." You're like, "No,
this is what happened." You know,
sometimes it's what is what exactly
happened is what happened, you know,
without all the the
stuff around it, you know, then all the
>> These These are statement killings. You
know, I called this that the same thing
with Luigi in the very beginning. These
are statement killings. This is somebody
satisfying their own Maslow all the way
up. And I always say there's two kinds
of on the continuum of people, if you
think about people who are icon thinkers
and people who are artifact thinkers are
the terms I use. Icon means everything
has more meaning than it appears to,
like a church window. The whole story is
encapsulated in one picture. On the
other hand, you get animals who a bucket
is feed and they'll check it 50 times a
day. Somewhere in between there are
where most of us are, but those
conspiracy kind of folks who always need
a complex answer because their brain
can't take
some kid crawled on a roof from 70 yd
away and shot a guy with a hunting
rifle. Well, I mean, if you see this
shot, this is a horrible story, horrible
thing, but trying to find a complex
answer to
this simple thing. I think she's dead
on. Sometimes it's simpler than you
think it is. Just silly. It's just But
this is Satisfied this guy's Maslow is
all it needs to do. It doesn't need to
be 50 people involved.
Cloaked is a sponsor for this video, and
they asked me to do something I wasn't
sure I wanted to see. So, I put my phone
number into their site, and I couldn't
believe what came back. You don't
realize how exposed your personal
information is till you actually see it
being exposed. And it's data brokers
selling your information, your phone,
your email, even sensitive stuff. And
they sell it over and over and over
again. And the crazy part, you agreed to
do this in the very terms that nobody
reads. And every time you sign up for
something, you're just feeding that
machine. Most services try to clean all
that up after the fact, but that's not
the real problem. You keep creating that
same problem every time you sign up for
something. That's where Cloaked is
different. It shows you where your data
is exposed and it helps remove it. But
more importantly, it lets you create
burner emails, phone numbers, and
usernames on the fly. So, when you sign
up for something, you're not tied to
your real identity. So, now they're not
buying your information anymore. They're
buying junk, and you're playing them.
And on top of that, it monitors the dark
web, filters spam calls, has a built-in
VPN, password manager, and even a $1
million identity theft insurance policy.
So, go to cloaked.com/tbp
and you'll get a free security scan, and
you'll see how exposed you are right
now. It only takes a few seconds, and
you'll see exactly what's going on out
there. The link is below, so click it

I understand why there's so much so many
people questioning this because I've
seen that video with him jumping off the
roof.
I'm not seeing a gun in there anywhere.
Granted, he may have thrown it out, you
know, thrown it off or something and
missed it. But, you know, you hear all
you know, you know how long it would
take to break that gun down. Well, you
you've seen it on Instagram, but we know
anyway. You know what I mean? It'd take
a while when you're doing something like
that for that thing not to show. So, I
can understand that part, then then
putting it back together, and then
sending those those odd texts that
happened. So, I can understand what's
happening, but I think there's something
There must be another layer of this
trying to make it look that way for some
I don't want to get into the the big
conspiracy theory with about all that.
I'm just saying I understand why she's
um being argumentative or would be
argumentative about that because and has
an answer ready to go
because she doesn't believe all that
that stuff.
>> Well, if you can kill a king,
you can kill anybody. That's why people
look for answers.
>> the the horrific absurdity of of life is
that some kid with a really bad plan
but a plan
can beat a security team
who weren't expecting the kid with a bad
plan.
>> That's right.
>> It's It's just the nature of stuff goes
wrong, and it's and it's, you know,
that's life. It's terrible. It's
ridiculous.
>> second kid.
>> Absolutely ridiculous. Yeah. But, you
know, and they they once somebody gets
an idea, then there's the contagion of
ideas.
>> Maslow's Maslow's satisfaction, right
there.
>> Just the way, you know, it's the
horrible way life is.
>> Yeah.
>> There's a lot of anomalies about the
case as far as I know. I'm not an
expert. I don't research it. It looks
weird. There's a lot of stuff that does
look weird.
But, one thing in this video that looks
weird to me is she's directing most of
what she's saying at the flowers on the
table. And not the interviewer, the
host.
And I don't
It's not often to the distance. It's
kind of right there at the table. And
people usually look away to regulate
emotion or to to access a memory. Not to
stare at a neutral object while they're
talking about a murder. I just thought
that was unusual. And people cope in
different ways. I'm not saying this
indicates deception or anything.
But, she goes off on the
thing about United Healthcare. And
Scott, I had a question for you. If if
if you don't mind me getting put on the
spot.
>> No, I was going to say
>> When people shift into procedural
analysis when they're under stress,
do you think we're seeing some kind of
ego defense? Or is it somebody just
maybe going to where they feel safe?
What
I think she's I think you've seen this
more than all of us.
>> I think she feels she's going to where
she feels comfortable. That's why I
think she's staring at the flowers.
Because she's going to a spot and just
talking. She's not talking at the
flowers. But, she's So, she's just
talking. She's got she knows what she
wants to say. She's got these these
packaged answers. Not specifically so I
can guard my, you know, my my thoughts
or whatever. But, she knows what she
thinks about this. And so, she's got
specific things she wants to say about
it. So, I think it's more of being
um
the neutrality she's trying to go for
with answering that question without
seeming too aggressive, maybe.
That's why she's she's doing this
because she she knows what she wants to
say, and she just aims at that and
starts talking. I don't even think she
realizes she's doing it. I've seen that
a lot. I don't think I don't I don't
think she even realizes that's what's
going on, but she I think it's part of
her
part of comfort for her.
>> If I had to add two things to that, what
I would say is if you go and talk to
children and you give them a task to
take, for example, like one of my
favorites is ask them to make the
scariest animal on Earth, and they'll
take parts of animals. You'll see moving
their eyes around in their head. And I'm
not going to tell you about eye
movement, but then what they'll do is
they'll come back to a spot as they work
on combining the two and talk about it.
And I think if she is not a person given
to fits of rage and going at somebody,
and this is pretty aggressive. I mean,
look at This is pretty damn aggressive.
Maybe it's a perception issue, Chase.
Good question. Maybe it's a perception
issue of I don't want to look you in the
face and be that aggressive.
>> Mhm.
I think it is.
>> So, let me add this to it. She's getting
a great effect with the interview. Uh
the interviewer is in full empathy
uh with us. So, so whatever she's doing,
whether she's doing it to the flowers or
she's doing it to the interviewer, the
interviewer is really responding. Also,
the rest of the audience are responding.
They respond to the kind of joke that
she makes about flight, the word play
there.
>> And I want to get on the Egyptian plane
thing. Take a flight on that for a
second. What I will say
>> So, she's she's managing to to get
emotion. She's managing to get some
humor in there with that live situation.
I'm not sure whether that translates
well to us in TV land here. Probably
probably her performance makes more
sense live in the room than it does
out here for the for the camera. She She
doesn't really play the camera a lot. I
think she's playing the interviewer and
the audience there.
>> And you'd know that, Mark, cuz you you'd
be able to
You've seen that.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you can see the
audience responding. She's doing a great
live theater job there.
You see the interviewer go
I'm trying to control my
>> Right. Right. Yeah.
>> The interviewer seems a little bit
aggressive sometimes though, too. Like
in that one she comes out and it sounds
aggressive. She's probably not being
aggressive, but I mean, she does kind of
come in uh you know, a little bit hot on
some of these.
So, let's take a look at the next one.
>> [clears throat]
>> I don't know. That's a tough fellows.
>> Do you believe that Tyler Robinson
murdered your husband?
>> Yes, I do.
>> Why do you think it is so hard for so
many people to believe
that reality?
>> Cuz it's too simple.
Again, everyone always has to think
there's more to the story. Well,
sometimes there's not. I've seen the
autopsy report. I've seen our case
pulled together. I've been in constant
contact with our lawyers, our the
prosec- the prosecuting team.
I've seen it all. And let me tell you
this, why in the world
why should we
prior to the trial lay all of our hands
and cards on the table for the defense
team to see to somehow then
I don't even know what they would do
with it, but what I what I will say, and
I want to get on the Egyptian plane
thing, take a flight on that for a
second. What I will say is what I'm
worried about and I'm fascinated
just from a legal standpoint to see how
the United Healthcare trials pans out.
And I say that because this is the first
time where we are seeing the
implications
>> You're talking about Luigi Mangione.
>> Correct. I'd prefer never to say any of

case. Just how it might impact mine.
>> Are you worried Chris he's not going to
get a fair trial?
Are you

jury. Like they're going to taint the
jury pool. And in that case
>> That's how widespread you think these
conspiracies have gone?
>> Yes, that's how mainstream they've
become.
>> All right, this has been pretty
interesting so far. What do you think
about what we've seen, Mark?
>> Uh yeah, I mean it's a it's a kind of a
dog's dinner for for all kinds of good
reasons of pinging between
this the emotion, the dramatic, the
ideological.
Um I think it's quite understandable
what's what's happening here, though it
can read as a bit odd. Chase?
>> Yeah, I think the bottom line uh if you
just took one thing from any of this,
grief doesn't always look the way you
think it should. Sometimes it's there's
a ton of rage in there. Sometimes it's
totally numb, just an anesthetized.
Sometimes it shows up with strategy,
branding, and maybe a media plan.
Uh I don't think that makes anybody
guilty, but uh the trap is that we
confuse performance with deception.
That's the only trap I don't want you to
fall into. Greg?
>> Yeah, agreed. What what I think you got
to pay attention to here is a complex
situation. A woman whose husband has
been murdered, who is fighting off
conspiracy theories that she doesn't
believe are true, and a prominent person
within her own movement, her own party,
who is purporting some of those things.
All that tied together with people who
want more answers than she can possibly
give, and she has to contain emotion
while she's standing in front of people
and trying to continue a movement and
picking up the cloak of somebody much
taller than she is. I think that's very
difficult, and I think you could assign
deception to this, and you'd be wrong.
>> Scott, what do you
>> I agree with you 100% there.
Uh I thought this was a good one because
it's somebody being uh thrust into a
situation that she never thought she'd
be into. She's trying to act the way she
thinks her husband would act in this
situation, act the way she thinks other
people who are heroes to her would act
in this situation when something like
this happens. You know, you've got to be
the leader. You've got number one. She's
got to go back and be the leader. She's
got to be the one defending everything.
She's got to be the one telling what she
thinks and what she thinks is going to
happen.
So, I think
all this is new to her and I think we're
seeing somebody who
worked their way through this
new person they've got to become. This
new and I hate to say new creation, but
the new personality they've got to take
on to be able to handle all these old
jobs and little jobs. All these huge
jobs she's got on her now.
So, from raising her children, being a
widow, dealing with the the situation
that that you know, the world saw
happen.
>> [snorts]
>> So, I think it's
fairly interesting to see how she
changes and it'll be interesting to see
what she's like in about a year from
now. So, maybe we'll check back in then.
>> The shooter
or the alleged shooter, you think
they're a patsy?
>> Of course they're a patsy. I mean, come
on. It's just so dumb. It's so He wasn't
even on campus that day. They can't show
us one clear image. Not even one. All of
these cameras, Turning Point has
everything in 4K. So, shouldn't you have
caught the shooter on the roof in 4K?
Like you had cameras everywhere that
day. Every inch of that campus is
covered.
>> was someone else that was running across
and it wasn't Tyler?
>> Absolutely. Someone that just I don't
even know if there was a person that
sprinted that day because everyone's
forgetting there was also a news report
that came out a
week before that somebody was on the
roof and a professor came out and waved
the person. Now, they may have been
dropping off a gun, dropping off a
screwdriver. I don't know.
>> Cuz there is one video like one of the
students had panned out where he was
running.
>> video that I had to track down,
military.
>> Really?
>> Everybody's military in my story.
>> Really?
>> All right, Chase, what do you got? I
don't think there's a lot here to
debunk. I think she believes what she's
saying. I agree there's a ton of
anomalies here that look extremely
suspicious. I don't know about the case.
I'm not investigating it, but I just
talked to Shawn Ryan about this and it
really looks like the caliber of the
rifle is 100% false. But there is a
mountain of other seriously bizarre
anomalies here.
And I don't look into the case much, but
I know there's a lot of people who are
still looking into it and I hope that if
any of you are watching right now, maybe
you can educate us down in the comments,
give us some facts. But I know that
Charlie privately reported intense
pressure from pro-Israel donors to stay
super aligned. He described
these funding consequences if you didn't
fall back in line and I think fall back
in line is a direct quote. These texts
showed super increasing stress tied
specifically to Israel-related
positions.
And his ideological
softening
kind of showed up right after that that
pressure started escalating, which is
just bizarre. So there's some really
weird stuff that happened throughout
this whole thing. Scott, weigh in.
>> All right. We're seeing the the cues of
someone relaying what they believe or
they drew what they really believe is
true.
And it she's using that confirming tone
or cadence is speeding up. You see the
rise in volume and the escalation of her
you know, hand gestures and arm
gestures.
And at the same time,
um
I think she's again trying to persuade
um this guy or the listener or the
viewer or whatever
to believe what what she's saying.
Because
um to present
this the way she is,
I I don't know yet. So the set up I'd
say like this, the set up is
is for persuasion. It's to get someone
to believe what you're saying. In this
situation, it's nothing big, it's not
nothing you know, that's that's
overreaching or too much, but it's
there. It's it's there. So this is the
most animated she's been so far. And a
lot of volume she's been she's talked at
as well. So
there's this thing with volume and
confidence. And most people think the
louder you are and the more you move
around and the and the bigger your
gestures are the more apt you are to be
believed and to be seen as confident,
whereas it's in my opinion it's just the
opposite of that. If you're getting If
you're
transmitting something that's really
important and really serious, then your
voice gets a little quieter
and you slow down a little bit. You make
sure every word is understandable and
your gestures aren't all flailing around
and real big and all that kind of thing.
The more influential person will will
won't move as much. They'll be a little
little They'll be still comparatively to
the person who's who's the other person
if you'll keep an eye on both of them.
>> This isn't a baseline, big time though.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I agree.
>> Yeah, we're I'm going to talk
specifically Yep. Yep.
>> Yeah, but I'm talking about how it's
moving and how it's changing. All right,
Greg, what do you got?
>> Yeah, so first of all, let's say she's
an entertainer and what she sells is
complex story. I mean, I've I've never
candidly, the only time I've ever seen
her is on political commentary during
elections. I've never watched her.
Sorry.
But so I didn't know what to expect and
a lot of people follow her with true
belief kind of ideas. And she is saying
what she believes. What is interesting
is what you're seeing is a persuasion
technique that
all of us have used at some point. Let's
first say a conspiracy theory doesn't
have to know the truth. Period. Period.
All of these conspiracy theories deal in
uncertainty and lack of knowledge and it
could be. They can point to some things
that are anomalies and then let you fill
in the blanks and that's masterful. It's
powerful and it is entertaining. What's
interesting is watching her. She's very
confident again. She's got the big
illustrators. She's supporting her
message like you would expect. This is
her wheelhouse. She's telling you
something. She's got extended fingers,
extended thumbs. But she doesn't adapt
her to the back of her neck, which we
usually associate with some rising level
of stress. Then we hear these upward
lilts at 4K, not on campus that day.
>> Also, shouldn't you have caught the
shooter on the roof in 4K? He wasn't
even on campus that day.
>> Those are key points that she's going to
use because they're anomalies. Now, we
didn't poke and prod and say here's why.
No counters, the guy's there to support
her and and her story. So, she's gone
back now to convincing as she's telling
her story. She even does a little head
wobble when she says everybody's in the
military.
>> military
>> Really? And a lip compression at the end
of it. That's uncertainty. That's
secondhand information, of course, but
handing this stuff off is part of it.
The other thing to pay attention to, and
let's pay really close attention now on,
is when I'm trying to persuade you, one
of the most powerful tools is to let you
contribute to the story and you're
creating part of the soup. You'll taste
your own ingredient. And if you watch
her, she's doing that with him. She'll
make good eye contact and nod when he
says something that finishes her
sentence. I teach this in rapport
building all the time. If you want to
build rapport, test the waters and see
if the person can finish your sentence,
you're getting there. And the way you
convince people is by not as much eye
contact, usually, and then you notice
her making hard eye contact and
rewarding his statements. So, she is
trying to persuade. Now, that's the
nature of what she does for a living and
is well within her baseline. So, it
doesn't mean deception, but what it
surely means is we've entered into part
of what she does for a living. Mark,
what do you got?
>> Yeah, I agree agree with everybody uh
here. Um here's what I want to push at.
Uh look, first of all, her tonality is
is the on this, which is the Charlie
Kirk the subject here is Charlie Kirk
shooting. Um her tonality is and is much
the same as her religious beliefs, much
the same as the Trump stuff. There's
There's no I think it's as you were
saying, Chase, it's it's all pretty much
baseline for her. There's nothing too
extraordinary. How I mean,
extraordinary, she's a great
entertainer. She's a brilliant
communicator in many ways. You know,
fascinating to watch, compelling to
watch, uh entertaining, and not much
changing here.
Here's what I do pick up on. And and
yeah, as Chase says, like if If have
facts which are positive things that are
provable, like put them down below, but
ideas of what isn't, don't put those
below because that's not fact, that's
just a gap. And we will find people find
God in the gap, people find conspiracy
in the gap. We will fill the gap with
whatever is most on our mind or we we
most lack at the time. So, don't fill
don't put gaps, put this definitely
happened and here is and that's what
she's doing. She's creating gaps. In
fact, she's doing it Chase to your point
with the same methodology that you're
pointing to of the sci-ops which is
category destruction. Okay, the
philosophy of Derrida which is you take
a category and you completely destroy
it. So, she goes, "I don't even know
whether that person was the person they
said. In fact, I don't even know whether
it was a person."
>> even know if there was a person that's
printed that day.
>> Wow, category gone. Bang, gone. That is
the way you demoralize people because we
have the moral of well, we know a person
is a person is a person. Now we've got
well, it could be another person to the
person you said. Now a person doesn't
even have to be a person anymore. They
can be I mean, I saw one, but maybe it
wasn't one. That is beautiful
postmodernism. It's absolutely what you
know, Chase if you're right, the receipt
of sci-op is is putting forward. She's
using those techniques on us right now.
So, everybody's part of the problem
right now. Maybe I am as well. Maybe I'm
part of the problem. We're all part of
the problem. We're all doing all the
same stuff. Yeah? We're all We're all
doing it. It's highly entertaining.
>> But we I think we stepped in your
wheelhouse there, Mar. I think you got
your all tied up.
>> no, but it's great cuz it's beautiful
postmodernism, isn't it? It's It's
beautiful. You destroy category, you
make a new one, you destroy that, you
make a new one. It's It's wonderful
creativity.
>> Let's throw in the asterisk here that
it's likely
very likely not a conscious deliberate
effort to do those things.
>> I mean, possibly.
>> I think it is.
>> Possibly.
>> Yeah. I mean
>> Yeah, I don't know, ladies.
>> you all don't think is like give us give
us evidence positive
>> I got to go. I got to go.
>> No, I don't know. There's a gap. I don't
know. So, let's say it isn't.
>> I think she's doing it on purpose. I
think she's trying cuz there's way too
many of these things happening there.
There are too many red flags from the
first video to this video that are
showing that that I've seen a thousand
times in someone who's conning somebody
else or trying to work somebody else or
or grab their persuasion to persuade
them to think something else. So, that's
the one I'm going to go with. That's the
one I have to go with it cuz I got to
call them like I see them as you you
guys do.
>> Yeah.
>> Well, what she does for a living is to
sweet people
>> That yeah, that's what I mean. That's
what I think you're seeing. This is all
her baseline. She speaks like this all
the time and she's passionate about this
cuz she's talking about her friend being
murdered. So.
>> Yeah.
>> I think the persuasion is turned up a
little bit, but I don't think it's
deliberate. I think her outcome is in
her mind and conscious. I don't think
the technique is.
>> It's not a good look.
>> What she has to sell what she has to
sell is that persuasion that she does
best. I mean, that we we're all dancing
around and saying, you know,
communication all that's persuasion.
What she does is she draws in followers.
I've talked to people that
some people who are disaffected from her
now, but they loved her clarity of
thought and that kind of thing. So, she
if she comes across as questioning her
clarity of thought
she loses subscribers, followers,
watchers for her
>> ultimately the entertainment here is to
open up is to destroy categories, open
up a gap, pull people into that
suggesting that you'll be able to answer
it and then open up more gaps and more
gaps and more gaps and never close the
loop because people keep watching and
watching come back next week and we'll
answer that question. Well, another
category just exploded. What you thought
was that is not that anymore and and and
I can't
>> This is George Lakoff.
Have you read any
>> It's it's it's postmodernism. It's it's
entertainment. I mean, people have been
doing it since the Greeks.
>> Look Mark, you're all worked up.
>> Yeah.
I mean, well, because people think
people think this just got invented.
>> The next one is even more
>> been around for thousands of years.
>> Plato.
>> Yeah.
>> You want to talk for a little bit?
>> No, I meant Play-Doh like the dough.
Like you get
>> Oh, oh, I thought you said Play-Doh.
>> You used to go to school with a kid who
ate that stuff, you know.
>> Yeah, yeah.
>> Okay, sorry. I mean, I thought I saw an
opening there. Sorry, dude. I was going
in.
>> The shooter
or the alleged shooter, you think
they're a patsy?
>> Of course they're a patsy. I mean, come
on. This was so dumb. It's so He wasn't
even on campus that day. They can't show
us one clear image, not even one. All of
these cameras, Turning Point has
everything in 4K. Well, so shouldn't you
have caught the shooter on the roof in
4K? Like you had cameras everywhere that
day. Every inch of that campus is
covered.
>> else that was running across. It wasn't
Tyler.
>> Someone that just I don't even know if
there was a person that sprinted that
day because everyone's forgetting there
was also a news report that came out a
week before that somebody was on the
roof and a a professor came out and
waved the person. They may have been
dropping off a gun, dropping off a
screwdriver. I don't know.
>> Cuz there was one video like one of the
students had panned out where he was
running.
>> video that I had to track down,
military.
>> Really?
>> Everybody's military in this story.
>> Mark, how's things looking How are
things looking to you so far?
>> Well, things are looking Look, it's very
enjoyable. As I've said it before, very
enjoyable. I don't know what is accurate
or inaccurate about any of this and I
don't think necessarily she knows, but
she does believe and it's great to see
such a great entertainment around that
belief, but I think all in all, that's
what we've we've got here.
Um
Uh and and may she keep on doing it cuz
it's uh it's it's thoroughly uh
engaging. I would take it with a pinch
of salt, but that isn't for everybody.
And some people will want to take it as
a full meal and you and you're very
welcome to.
Uh just don't try and convince me of it
cuz, you know,
I'll I won't be convinced of it until I
am. Until I am. And then so maybe give
it a go. Uh Chase, what do you think?
>> I think she genuinely believes a lot of
what she's saying. Uh she stays on her
normal baseline here throughout this
whole thing. This is how she speaks, how
she delivers in every other video that
I've seen of her. And I think she means
what she's saying. I think she's
extremely passionate about about this
topic cuz it was a friend of hers.
Um
and I think that she is
coming around to one idea that I agree
with of this right versus left argument
is the Truman Show
uh designed for sedated people and I
think is a staged war to keep you
cheering for the actors and blind to the
real script writers in this Truman Show.
Greg?
>> Make no mistake, politics is bread and
circus. Make no mistake. It is to keep
you quiet. But aside from that, I don't
see deception. I see her very clearly in
five videos demonstrating what she's
saying. Now, she falls short on facts.
That's what conspiracy does. That's
typical. There's no reason to have a
conspiracy if you can prove something.
It's no longer a conspiracy
it theory, it's now fact. It's now a
solved crime. So, that's what people
pedal and do. I think she's a fantastic
communicator.
Whole body communication, language, eye
contact, movement, all of that. And
clearly a good entertainer. So, I Look,
I first time I've watched her in any
depth other than being on like CNN or
Fox or whatever channel she showed up.
And it's clear why people would follow
her. Not only because she may be a good
role model, maybe somebody who is
espousing their beliefs, and clearly can
illustrate what she's thinking,
but also, she doesn't appear to be
deceptive. This to me shows me she
believes what she's saying. Good enough
for me. Scott, what do you got?
>> Yeah, I she does look like she's being
honest. She definitely looks like that.
But what she's saying doesn't sound like
it should sound to me personally from
the from the people I've talked to that
weren't being
uh honest or they were or they were
trying to get something done that I
wasn't aware of that was trying to be
done, or they're trying to do that to
somebody else.
So, when I see something like somebody
get have happened to what happened to
Charlie Kirk, there's somebody up here,
and they've looked at that and said,
"Okay, this came from there." And then
all of a sudden, it's his security
guards with a thing around their neck
talking to each other about it and
stuff.
No. I break it down to the most logical
thing and say, "Let's look at that
first. Let's make sure everything's cool
there." But all these things where
there's the prints aren't right and all
this, if you're going to say that, be
able to prove it. Say, "Here's who told
me." Because it's a big deal when you
bring something like that out. You're
bringing out you're bringing out
fireworks at that point. So, if you're
going to do that, then let's see where
you got it. Don't None of this, you
know, they he was military. I got it
from military. No, I don't do that. Say,
"So-and-so gave me this. He's in the
He's in the Navy or he's in the Army or
he's in the Marines, whatever it was." I
want to know.
Yeah, everybody wants to know. That's
what makes it believable when you tell
something like that. That's what keeps
it out of the conspir- conspiracy part
of it, like Greg said.
>> So, you're saying everything is is
doesn't look as it should.
>> This is another good one, fellas.
And we'll see you next time.
>> [laughter]
>> The Behavior Panel
>> Today, we're going to talk about Candace
Owens. She's been in the news lately.
Greg, why don't you tell us about the
case we're going to take a look at?
>> What does it say?
>> Just that that's that'll do fine.
>> [laughter]
>> Just that that'll that would be fine.
>> That's all we should use.
>> Just do that. That's
>> [music]
