The full transcript provides a detailed analysis of how misinformation can manipulate perceptions and urges viewers to reexamine their role in perpetuating false narratives.
Well, howdy there, internet people.
It's Beau again.
So today, we are going to talk about what happened out
in California with the Pelosi's, what the reaction means
for the state of the US, and why it went down the way it did,
as far as the reaction goes, and what it says
about a whole lot of people.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, we'll get there.
We'll provide a brief summary.
But the reaction, the desire to flood the information ecosystem
with competing narratives, claims, almost all of which,
when they put out, they knew they were false.
It looks like one was a legitimate accident.
What it says, if you bought into it,
and why it was so important for a certain group of people
to flood the information space with stuff
they knew wasn't true.
If you don't know what happened, Nancy Pelosi's husband
was at home when, according to all reporting,
a man entered with restraints and a hammer,
looking for Nancy Pelosi.
Mr. Pelosi used a phone and basically left it open
after calling 911.
And through kind of speaking in code,
let the cops know something was going on.
Eventually, the cops showed up, and the situation was resolved.
But a whole bunch of other stories
went out, blaming all kinds of things.
To distract from the fact that the reporting suggests
that the attacker was somebody who bought in to right-wing
conspiracy theories.
That's what they have to distract from.
That's what they have to deflect from.
If you participated in this, if you're
part of that information ecosystem that put out
the stories about the underwear and all of that stuff,
knowing it was false, trying to deflect,
trying to find some way to change the subject,
to not talk about what happened, you have to ask yourself why.
Because the reality is, they have turned you
into somebody who is rooting for, or at least downplaying
and deflecting for the villain in all the horror
movies you watched this week.
A man walked into a home and attacked an elderly person,
an elderly man, while looking for an elderly woman to attack.
That's what occurred.
But they don't want you to think about that part.
They don't want you to think about something that could be
a plot to a horror movie.
They want you to participate in downplaying it, in deflecting,
in talking about something else, in making sure
that the reality of that situation
and how it reflects on the rhetoric used,
that that isn't the focus.
Think about anything else but that.
Think about anything else other than their rhetoric
turning you into the kind of person
who roots for the bad guy in horror movies.
The sad part is that there are going
to be people who watch this who don't like Pelosi,
and they'll still do it.
Because they're not going to take a step back.
They're not going to look at what they've been turned into.
At some point, you have to look at the person next to you
and say, are we the baddies?
Yes.
If you're doing it, you're doing it right.
Yes.
If you're downplaying this, if you're
trying to distract from this, you are.
You're the type of person who is rooting
for the villain in horror movies.
That's what they did to you.
That's what the information silo that you have fallen into
has changed you into.
It's probably worth taking a step back
and looking at who benefits from this
and how they benefit from this.
And when you pull that mask off, you're
going to see the real villain.
And it's nothing that's in any of these theories.
It's a normal Scooby-Doo villain, some rich old man
out for money.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
Y'all have a good day.
