0:00.0	Analogies for explaining a new concept are excellent. So I'm not saying analogies are bad all the time. I'm saying that nobody ever won an argument with an analogy.
0:11.3	Welcome to the art of charm. I'm Jordan Harbinger. I'm here with producer Jason to fill up on this episode. We're talking with Scott Adams. Of course, yet another controversial episode because apparently I like getting hate mail, but I highly recommend that people separate their feelings about the subject matter here, especially the examples and just learn.
0:29.0	You know, if you hate Trump, then it's fine. You can still learn persuasion from this episode. And if you love Trump, then you don't have to write me and tell me how, you know, I'm a cook or whatever. I hate that people you overuse that word. It's so stupid. I didn't want to spend too much time on this episode.
0:44.0	I'm just going to get a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a little bit of a

2:44.0	Well, that's just one friend and he's on to watch this, right?
2:46.5	Right, right.
2:48.1	Right. I've noticed that a lot of people have mentioned that they've lost friends because of the political situation. I think that's kind of a shame.
2:54.1	I've got plenty of friends on both sides of the camp.
2:56.5	There are probably not people I would want to have over at the same time, all of them.
2:59.9	Some of them would be totally fine.
3:01.6	There's only a few in each camp that I think are completely insufferable when they start talking about politics.
3:07.5	And this has been a particularly divisive election, particularly divisive administration in general.
3:14.1	One thing that your book, when Bigly focuses on, is the persuasion aspects of the current
3:20.3	administration or of Donald Trump specifically. But during the show, I would love if possible,
3:25.3	it probably isn't, but I'm going to try anyway to divorce the persuasion concepts from
3:30.2	the man himself because I don't want people to go. This is about Trump click, right? I want people
3:37.2	okay, maybe I hate Trump or maybe I love him, but in the meantime, I'm going to learn something
3:41.1	about persuasion. I learned a lot from the book, devoured it in one plane ride, and went away
