Transcripts
we've all had conversations that started
out friendly then suddenly turned into
an argument that made us feel attacked
the other person twists your words and
uses little tricks to try to make you
look dumb so today we're going to break
down a conversation just like that
between Andrew Tate and Piers Morgan to
show you how to defend yourself in any
argument even if the other person is
determined to make you look bad I don't
know why you're trying to come at me it
was one of his views and pretend that's
something it was a pretty big view no
but it's it's a lame trick Pierce this
video is not endorsing either of these
people it's simply an analysis to teach
you the tactics some people use to
assert dominance in an argument the
first step to defending yourself from a
conversational bully is to spot when
they enter fight mode there's some
obvious tells like if someone starts
shouting or repeatedly cutting you off
but there's a subtler tell as well you
can see an example of it in this next
clip where Piers shows he's there to
argue with Andrew not to understand him
I want to play you just a clip off the
top this is from Joe Rogan he's somebody
I absolutely love sure and I think it
explains to me what my what I presume my
issue with you is going to be right
correct and you you have absolutely got
the right to try and persuade me
otherwise sure there's actually two
towels here if someone labels you or an
idea you stand by as an issue or
problematic that's a good indicator that
they've switched into fight mode or if
they want to argue with you before
asking you to explain your point of view
if that happens you should start being
wary of conversational traps one of the
most common traps is misquoting you
misquoting you makes it easier for the
other person to feel like they're
dominating you because they're attacking
a straw man instead of your actual views
this sounds like it would be easy to
catch but sometimes it only takes a
small tweak to your words to make a big
impact on their meaning if you aren't
paying attention you may not notice the
small tweak for example listen to Andrew
respond when Piers asks him what is your
opinion of Alex Jones after meeting him
he was professional and courteous to me
when I meet somebody and they show me
respect I show them back respect that's
what I do as I dig with you you respect
him I if somebody shows me respect I
show them respect so I don't know I
don't know if Hitler says you respect
you'd respect him back there is a huge
difference between showing someone
respect by being polite versus having
respect for them and their ideas Andrew
even catches this at first but Piers is
persistent in establishing that straw
man well I'm not I'm taking your
position that if somebody shows you
respect you respect them I think that
I'm saying there are lots of people in
the world I do not respect if Vladimir
Putin showed me in respect I would not
respect him but that's your opinion but
no it's my view okay that's your view
well your view is you would you can see
Piers is trying to force a view upon
Andrew that he doesn't actually believe
so you have to be careful not to let
someone misquote you or you may find
yourself defending a belief that upon
reflection you don't even have luckily
there is a simple solution for this if
you're aware of it re-establish your own
point of view before you defend it you
talk about people don't want to see men
dressed up in dressy transgender that's
not exactly what I said what did you say
I said the reason I am so popular and
I'm so famous is that there's a large
contingent of men who don't want to wear
makeup who still want to make money go
to the gym be strong drive a fast car be
traditionally masculine and don't want
to be shamed for that and they don't
want to be called toxic for that now if
you do start to make good points in an
argument you'll have to watch out for
this next trick derailing interruptions
this is when someone tries to interrupt
you before you can establish your
strongest points you're taking these
sentences and on repeat using to what
you're weaponizing them against me I'm
not weaponizing anything okay it's fine
no the more weaponizing the weaponizing
it doesn't exist no problem but you said
to me come on bring it on this can be
frustrating you see in that clip that
the interruptions are starting to bother
Andrew luckily there's three ways you
can handle being interrupted the first
trick is to pause acknowledge the person
then return to the point you were making
all I've done is literally read out all
the things we identified from all the
research that I thought were blatantly
misogynist and giving you the chance to
respond and the only type I've
interrupted you is when you've tried to
answer a completely different question
understood peers
the but these things were said Andrew
reclaims the conversation after he looks
appears in the eye and says understood
appears you can even see a little smile
and Pierce his eyes after that's because
most people in an argument crave to feel
heard and understood here's another
example you can steal this line word for
word if you want to acknowledge someone
without agreeing with them this time
Piers even makes a little positive noise
after Andrew acknowledges him I don't
think so and I think your view of that
is that view is dangerous I I respect
that you think my view is dangerous and
I respect you have the right to view
that to think that that line is a nice
way to remain connected with someone
without giving ground you don't agree
with it makes the other person feel
heard and that disarms their need to
attack now once someone has established
a pattern of interrupting you the next
thing you can do is preempt their
Interruption here's an example and this
is actually what's interesting and
please don't interrupt me on this point
social media has changed in modern times
you can even see Pierce's body language
change as he disengages to respect
Andrew's request if the person continues
to interrupt you you can call it out
with a one-finger stop gesture oh no
let's stop for a second please don't
interrupt me
the here's why you're I know why you're
good at your job first you interrupt
people a lot which is good it's a good
skill I believe in marriage more than
anybody I believe in marriage and no
please I believe in marriage in the
traditional sense now on the flip side
you also want to avoid the Trap of being
the interrupter especially if someone is
responding to a point you've made don't
steamroll concessions there were a few
times where peers actually made a good
point but he interrupts so much that
Andrew can't even agree with him so what
you did say at the start of this little
exchange you said you know I wouldn't
maybe say things the same way now that I
did before I was famous and yet actually
you've doubled done it's exactly the
same thing on certain points so that is
what you believe that's my point yes I'm
trying to work out look I don't know you
we've just met right Team Rolling
concessions prevents you from reaching
common ground with the person you're
talking to if there's anyone else
listening it also makes it harder for
them to register that you've made a good
point here's one more example so you can
see what not to do well I think my
sister is my her husband's property yes
because fundamentally I don't believe a
man owns a woman you do well I don't
think a man owns any sovereign
individual I don't think we live in the
world of slavery I don't own any men or
any woman right nobody owns it when you
use phrases like property that's what
you imply and so my point again is
you're a smart guy we start to interrupt
people when we are the ones that enter
fight mode if you can stay calm in an
argument you're much less likely to cut
people off in steamroll concessions one
great trick for staying common an
argument is to physically relax into the
argument purposely release any tense
muscles and take deep belly breaths this
will signal to your brain that you are
safe and you don't need to enter fight
or flight staying calm also lets you
think more clearly so you're more likely
to catch any logical gaps that the
person tries to sneak by you like the
name suggests this is a moment where
there is a gap in the logic of their
argument here's the most obvious example
from this conversation what is your view
of Alex Jones I think that Alex Jones is
a sovereign individual who very much
like the Rabid left deserves a chance to
speak on his points of view I think that
the truth on issues is usually somewhere
in the middle between two extremes and I
think do you think Sandy Hook was staged
The Logical leap from the truth is
somewhere in the middle to so you think
Sandy Hook was staged is obvious but not
every logic app is as easy to pick up on
in real time the key is to remember the
premise of someone's argument this is
easy to do if we break things down a
little for example take a listen appears
here it was also I think quite a
disturbing piece the BuzzFeed did and he
talked about the the negative impact of
young impressionable male Minds when
they've read or seen some of the more
inflammatory things you've said what is
the premise of Piers argument it's that
Andrew is dangerous because of his
impact on impressionable young minds now
listen to what Pierce says immediately
after that and they quoted for example
Sandy uh 22 from Washington my father's
gone from a man who minded in women's
studies in college he was kind and in
touch with his emotions treated all
people men and women around him and
kindness to a man who says that whenever
he sees an effeminate male stranger he
gets an overwhelming urge to murder did
you catch the Gap in the argument did
you say that my father went
she said my father has my father that's
a full-grown man firstly so we're
talking about my impact on children you
just talked about full-grown man here
now so far we've discussed how to engage
with someone who's being combative but
sometimes an argument goes into an area
you're not comfortable with and you
don't want to engage with them at all
when that happens you have every right
to draw a conversational boundary for
example watch Piers try to get Andrew to
share about his personal life if you've
ever been in love yeah how many times oh
plenty I believe in love between men and
women I'm a real love you know yeah I
believe how many times would you say
enough Andrew tries to move on but
Pierce circles back a few seconds later
how many women have you loved I don't
know Pierce a few give me a Bullpup
5 10 20. let's let's say you don't
forget how many people you've been in
love with it's a strange line of
questioning and peers just will not give
it up so finally listen to Andrew draw a
boundary I believe in family I believe
in children I believe in if you believe
in family and children and love yeah why
are you single I'm not single well
you're not married that's what I mean
well if I was married the last thing I
would do is advertise it to the feral
Psychopaths on the internet most people
aren't comfortable being that direct so
they try to change the topic indirectly
it's much more effective to simply draw
a boundary and let someone know that a
topic is off limits that doesn't mean
you have to shout or get confrontational
it can be as simple as saying I'm not
comfortable talking about that so now
you know how to see and avoid some
common conversational traps when things
get heated but how do you turn things
around and get back to a friendly
positive conversation one way is to
purposely acknowledge any common ground
for example there was a moment in the
conversation when Andrew was talking
about getting the platform from social
media and he starts to lose his cool
listen to how Piers gets him out of
fight mode by establishing common ground
when they attacked me they lump a whole
bunch of things in together they say
misogynistic racist transphobic they
just put them all together around a
unmixed race by the way I don't know
where they get these they just get these
buzzwords
I completely agree it's crazy and I've
had the same thing done to me okay and
I'm not calling you anything I'm asking
you what you personally believe you are
the important thing here is that you are
genuine and that comes not just in your
words but in your tone of voice listen
appears here for a good example a lot of
what you say I agree with yeah right I
do genuinely I've read a lot I've done a
lot of stuff you said a lot of the stuff
you talk about I think he's got a good
point right something agree about a lot
of things but when I read that kind of
thing I'm like
I just how much of that is you how much
of that is some ACT do you regret saying
stuff like this now our final advice
today is actually something you won't
see in the conversation with piers and
Andrew and its absence is one of the
biggest reasons that the conversation
was so combative and so unproductive
give yourself permission to change your
mind this is something Andrew seems to
view as a bad thing you can hear him
talk about it here that's why that's why
I've repeatedly asked you about that
line to see if you've changed your
position but the reality is you haven't
it's not about changing positions I'm a
full-grown adult and I stick by the
things I say and I'm responsible for
them if you view changing your mind is a
bad thing a sign of weakness or being a
flip-flopper then of course you'll never
change your mind or even when you do
you'll do what Andrew does and try to
make all the things you've said in the
past fit your new beliefs for building
Fame online maybe that's what's required
Andrew is certainly world classic
getting famous but in your own life give
yourself the gift of permission to
change your opinion to say that you
don't agree with everything your past
self thought that freedom will allow you
to be happier and to grow now publicly
changing your mind is much easier said
than done it takes confidence to change
your opinion in front of other people if
confidence is something you struggle
