We want to tell the other side we want to hear. Andrew take story And I said no on repeat. Then they sent me a list of questions. I didn’t even ask for a list of questions. That’s not who I am. I don’t have to script. I never asked for this questions. They sent me a list of questions. Here’s what we’re going to ask. It’s about his mental health. It’s about the Romanian justice system. It’s about fact he hasn’t been charged as Liberty has been deprived all this stuff and I thought, well, that’s kind of interesting.

Maybe it’s a interesting and the Matrix is obviously bringing lies about me and these are some interesting questions in The Matrix. So the first time ever, Okay, They walk in here. All smiles and happy All smiley faces, trying to take me off guard, I already had my list of questions, right? It’s all going to be nice and easy. I sit down and they instantly attack me. They put the cameras on first and they attack me. Expect me to stutter and make a fool of myself.

It’s it’s it’s kind of like a they tried to sucker. Punch me. I’m in the club And they’re my friends shaking my hand and they tried to hit me and knock me out. And this is the thing that’s so amazing about it. Yes, I destroyed the BBC but of course, I did, because I’m smarter than all of them, but why should I have to rely on my way and intellect to destroy Bbc with their research team and their plan, their deliberate plan to try and annihilate? My Not only my credibility but my life They are trying to put me back in jail.

These people, they’re not, they’re not dishonest, they’re genuinely evil. And they don’t give a shit. And so, why should I even sit there and entertain them? I believe I could slip every single sucker punch. They throw at me for the rest of human time. I could sit with any of these clowns and no matter who they sit with their research team, whatever garbage they come up with. I like a fool of all of them. Why am I even entertaining them anymore?

What’s the point That was the last chance I gave mainstream media, they lied for months to get that interview with me, Completely dishonest head to toe. And like you said, they sit with Philip. Are you okay? Are you okay, we heard your mom’s upset. That poor old lady. Maybe everyone should stop talking about it because his mom’s upset. Let’s not talk about anymore because his mother’s old, You’re the partner club or not.

You have to sell your sanity. Nowadays, if you sell your sanity, you’re afforded protections. That’s the reality of it because if you’re the same thinking person, you don’t buy their bullshit And that’s what upsets them. They don’t want anybody who thinks to themselves, they need you to not. Hang what you believe exactly what’s on the television screen believe in covet, it’s covered now it’s covered now oh, Putin’s invaded, Ukraine, Putin’s cured coven now now it’s insane. Till the next thing comes. It’s absolutely asinine.” (~33 minutes)

Ad Hominem:

The speaker attacks the character of the media, referring to them as “clowns,” suggesting they are trying to put him back in jail, and calling them genuinely evil.

All-or-Nothing Thinking:

The speaker sees the media as either genuinely evil or completely dishonest. He does not seem to entertain the idea that there might be nuances in their actions and intentions. For instance, he says, “They are not dishonest, they’re genuinely evil.”

Appeal to Fear:

The speaker appeals to fear by suggesting that the media’s deliberate plan is to annihilate him and put him back in jail. This fear-based argument aims to discredit the media’s intentions without providing substantial evidence.

Catastrophizing:

The speaker exaggerates the potential consequences of the media’s actions, suggesting they are trying to destroy not only his credibility but his life. This is an example of catastrophizing the situation.

Confirmation Bias:

The speaker’s strong beliefs act as confirmation bias, causing him to interpret the situation in a way that supports his beliefs. For instance, he claims that the media is “bringing lies” about him and that they have a “deliberate plan to try and annihilate” him.

Emotional Reasoning:

The speaker’s emotional state appears to heavily influence his perception of the media and their intentions. For instance, he expresses being upset by the media’s behavior and portrays them as evil based on his emotions.

Fallacy of Composition:

The speaker attributes negative characteristics to the mainstream media as a whole based on the actions or behaviors of a few individuals within the media.

Hasty Generalization:

The speaker generalizes the behavior of the entire mainstream media based on his interactions with a specific group or individual. This is evident in his broad condemnation of “mainstream media” as being dishonest, evil, and having a deliberate plan to harm him.

Hostile Attribution Bias:

The speaker consistently interprets others' behaviors as hostile or malicious. For example, he describes the media as trying to “sucker punch” and “knock me out.”

Overgeneralization:

The statement depicts overgeneralization when the speaker refers to the entire mainstream media as being dishonest and evil. He uses words like “they lied for months” and “they’re all clowns.”

Self-Serving Bias:

The speaker seems to downplay his own role in the situation and presents himself as the victim. He believes he is smarter than everyone else, implying a self-serving bias.

Mental Health Impact Analysis:

When someone is consistently subjected to these tactics, it can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and negative emotions. The use of ad hominem attacks can be particularly damaging, as it can lead to feelings of worthlessness and targeted harassment, ultimately impacting one’s self-esteem and sense of security.

All-or-Nothing thinking and catastrophizing can contribute to heightened levels of anxiety and fear, as the individual is unable to see any middle ground or consider alternative perspectives. This can lead to a sense of hopelessness and helplessness, amplifying mental health issues such as depression. Additionally, appeals to fear can create a pervasive sense of paranoia and distrust, further exacerbating the individual’s mental well-being.

Confirmation bias and overgeneralization can lead to a distorted worldview, where the person becomes increasingly closed off to differing viewpoints and becomes entrenched in their own beliefs. This can lead to social isolation and heightened levels of anger and frustration. Hasty generalizations and the fallacy of composition can contribute to feelings of unfair treatment and injustice, as the person perceives themselves as constantly under attack.

Hostile attribution bias perpetuates feelings of victimization and can lead to ongoing stress and hypervigilance. Self-serving bias also plays a role, as the individual may struggle to take responsibility for their own actions and instead place blame on others, perpetuating a cycle of negative emotions and conflict.

“Man cannot survive except through his mind. He comes on earth unarmed. His brain is his only weapon. Animals obtain food by force. man had no claws, no fangs, no horns, no great strength of muscle. He must plant his food or hunt it. To plant, he needs a process of thought. To hunt, he needs weapons,and to make weapons - a process of thought. From this simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and we have comes from a single attribute of man -the function of his reasoning mind.” — Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
