Jim Jordan's Tongue Twisters and the Impeachment Inquiry

In the first impeachment hearings, we examine congressman Jim Jordan's methods of persuasion and influence, along with a press conference clip featuring President Trump's framing of the whole process.

We begin with a softball question asked by right-leaning OAN's reporter who gives Donald Trump an easy platform to monologue the day away, and then take a listen to Jim Jordan as he procedes to persuade. We break down several of Jordan's devices of framing.

Take a listen to this episode to learn:

• How Jordan uses a classic car sales technique to convert a reluctant witness over to his side!
• The threat that John Ratcliff issues to Adam Schiff, disguised as simply part of parlimentary procedure
• Using repetition along with deductive fallacies to create confusion
• Tongue-twisters and what they have to do with the serious business of impeachment
• Overwhelming with ordinals - 6 people having 4 conversations in 1 sentence
• And more!
