oax. And he was just quoting the actual transcript to just dismantle it. Now, did the person then say, oh, well, thank you for clarifying? Nope. Nope. Did not. He just went into a cognitive dissonance spiral and just became temporarily insane. And that's what you'd expect. That's exactly what cognitive dissonance is. It's like a weird insanity hallucination that pops up when your self-image doesn't match events.

So what this person who was learning that they had been Rupar'd, which doesn't feel good, right? If you've been bamboozled or Rupar'd, you think that's a little embarrassing on me because I was a little gullible. I got Rupar'd a little too easily. So go for the embarrassment of somebody being Rupar'd, not the facts. The facts won't work.

But here is my second suggestion for getting rid of this. If I could be a reporter to ask Ted Lieu some questions, I would ask him this. Number one, do you believe that President Trump recommended drinking bleach to get rid of the coronavirus? Presumably he would say yes. Yes, I do believe that.

Because that's important, wouldn't you like to know if somebody is fooled by every hoax or are they only fooled by maybe this one, which wouldn't be so bad, right? Just one hoax. We can all be taken in by one hoax. That's just normal.

And then he would resist a little bit, and I'd say, all right, all right, let's let that go. My third question is, what are you feeling about the Loch Ness monster? And then he'd be like, come on, come on, you need to take this seriously. And I would say, what do you mean? What do you mean take it seriously? I am taking it seriously. We're talking about all the hoaxes you believe. I'm just trying to get your opinion on it. How a
