Win ANY Argument like Kellyanne - Politics: Episode 3

Today Barack Obama came out and said British people smell funky

Does he really have a deep-seated hatred towards British people?

Barack Obama got up there and commended, and got up there and

said some of the nicest things I've ever heard about British people

yet you're focusing on the one diss.

That wasn't that good

I can do better

I'm continuing to learn about politics

and in this lesson we're going to learn about "spin"

basically it teaches you how to win any argument

even when you've been proved wrong

So Aaron, what's "spin"

"Spin" refers to a presentation of the facts

that might not be the most direct presentation of the facts

let's say this mustard dispenser is reality

and we might be seeing the same thing

but we're seeing two totally different sides of reality

so by spinning it, I'm showing you the reality I'm imagining

and I'm seeing an alternative reality!

see what I did?

You're saying it's a "falsehood" and they're giving Sean Spicer

our press secretary gave alternative facts to that but the point remains-

Wait a minute! "Alternative facts"?

Let's say something bad happens

You don't necessarily want to get up on a stage

and tell everybody "something bad just happened"

so you put your spin on it

to make it sound like it was a good thing

An example, we can we can play a game

so you tell me something awful that might happen

and I'll spin it back to you so it sounds good

okay so let's get into character

of course you'll be Kellyanne Conway

Perfect! I have the hair

Okay so you're gonna have to defend the president's actions here

so the first one

"The president killed my dog"

The president just saved you a ton of money on dog food

okay Kelly put your spin on this one

The president just came out and publicly said

that he hates newborn babies

We right now have a president who has shown more appreciation for adults

than we've ever seen before

I feel like right now we're kind of somehow being unfair to Kellyanne Conway

because really both parties spin

so let's say there's a presidential debate between Hillary and Trump

afterwards the news stations are gonna interview the communications staff

from both campaigns and the room that those interviews are held in is known as

"The spin room"

Oh join us afterwards for "The spin room"

yes

Really? I was joking!

It would be like "now that we've heard from the candidates

now let's hear what their campaigns have to say in the spin room

"In the so called 'spin room'"

"The spin room"

the spin you put on something that happens it says more about your

presidency than what you actually do

mm-hmm

I like playing the game

Wanna do another one?

Keep throwing stuff my way

Okay let's let's adapt this to real life

okay let's do this one you've definitely been caught out in a lie

You go to work and you're late, everyone knows that you're late

You say "I'm sorry my dog was sick I had to take him to the vet it was an emergency

it couldn't be avoided"

Your boss says "I was in the bar last night"

and I saw you drinking heavily

I know that you're just hungover

You're a very smart man

You're saying I am? Or "The boss"?

The boss yes

Am I hungover? This is fully irrelevant to this discussion

Fully irrelevant

You're you're correct in certain ways

but I think we need to focus on the real issue

which is a corporate culture that

makes it very very hard for somebody

for an individual to thrive and I am

fully dedicated to working with you as much as we need to do to kind of figure

out how to have a healthier and stronger culture for all of us to kind of thrive

in and all of us to do our best work in and I mean if I look like shit you look like shit

so let's figure out a way to kind of

partner together and both smell like fucking roses

That was like poetry of arguing

So I think again it seems to me that the idea is to shift focus and also

if possible shift blame

Exactly so it's deflect so that one was a full

deflection where it's I was so caught that like if I were to say I wasn't caught

you would laugh me out of the room

it was so bad I need to agree with you

because obviously if I'm agreeing with you if you like it it's good

It's healthy

and I've noticed you also throw in a

good compliment here and there

Oh of course

okay try one on me I wanna try this

I know we're roommates

I come home with three pieces left of my mama's famous meatballs

three of my mama's famous meatballs left

I write "Aaron. No eating!"

I come home from work one day, the meatballs are gone

there's a tomato sauce stain on your shirt

Look we can discuss who ate what

but I think the real focus here needs to be on our friendship

and also our living situation

every week I pay rent on time I'm always very clean we can both agree there and

you're a very handsome man

and I just thought "Wow! Isn't it great that we such good friends?!"

I would have thrown in "I think your mother would have wanted me to have some"

and she's a great cook

That would've been genius!

But otherwise that was great

but essentially you kind of got the gist of it where you

you shift slightly away from like the focus

and you bring up other things

so it's like you bringing up the friendship

the roommate, I was like "You ARE a good room mate!"

This fictional apartment we share together is fucking clean!

So thank you Aaron, I think I'm ready for for politics now

Keep in mind, neither of us lied once.
