This is how you dominate a debate!
Transcript
00:08WTV Election Stuff 2016, Josh Lovina and Richard Kind teach you how to master debate.
00:29Many young people cite climate change as the issue that will most affect their vote.
00:33It also affects our future, if indeed we have one.
00:37So, as president, how will you attack climate change?
00:41Climate change.
00:46How do we know it's real?
00:48Science.
00:49But what is science?
00:51It's science.
00:53What's anything, really?
00:54How do we know things exist?
00:56And off we go.
00:57How do I know that I'm even standing here right now?
01:00And my opponent actually said, the earth sucks.
01:04That's a quote.
01:05A quote taken out of context.
01:07I said, a tree on the earth sucks harmful carbon dioxide out of the air.
01:14Then again, all quotes are taken out of context.
01:17That's why there are quotes around the quotes.
01:20But hey, we're just getting started.
01:22America.
01:23This isn't climate change.
01:24It's climate evolution.
01:27Redefining words.
01:28And hey.
01:28I get it.
01:29I'm an earthling just like you.
01:31Affinity fraud.
01:32Claiming that, hey, I'm just like you.
01:33Well, you know what?
01:34Who cares?
01:35And my opponent would just love us earthlings to point the finger at each other when we know
01:39the real villain here.
01:44I'm guessing Hitler.
01:48Hitler!
01:49I knew it was Hitler.
01:50Please.
01:51As we all know, the earth wants to be warmer.
01:54False premise.
01:55As temps have gone up, pirates have gone down.
01:58Should we bring back pirates?
01:59False cause.
02:00Dr. Phil, Dr. Dre, Dr. McDreamy, every medical expert agrees with me.
02:05Citing unqualified expert opinion.
02:07We could do A or B.
02:09And B sucks.
02:10So A must be good.
02:11False choice.
02:12We should really be talking about, you know, that other thing.
02:21And just straight up, in your face, changing the subject.
02:27Plus, he's just a goofball.
02:29Name calling.
02:30Who probably has stock in an oil company.
02:32Questioning motives.
02:33Which is what you would expect from a senator.
02:36Well, that's blatant stereotyping.
02:38Now it's my turn.
02:40If we are to agree on one thing about my opponent's position on climate change, it is this.
02:48He is the most unlikable person ever.
02:51And everybody knows he's afraid of the dark.
02:56Unproven hearsay.
02:57And besides, when did you start caring about the environment?
03:01Loaded question.
03:02I'll tell you when.
03:03When I met a young boy.
03:05And that young boy said to me,
03:09Climate change saved my life.
03:11And if we stop global warming,
03:13who will take care of those poor orphans who make our sunscreen?
03:17Appeal to emotion.
03:20There he goes again.
03:21Fake, dismissive laughter.
03:23I'm not saying, Senator, that you're dumber than the things you say.
03:30Insinuation.
03:31I must be pretty stupid.
03:32But let me explain to you, Senator, how the earth revolves.
03:36Innuendo.
03:36I must be very pretty stupid.
03:39I must be very pretty stupid.
03:41And there we are at last.
03:43Pure, unfiltered mockery.
03:45Which finally brings us to everyone's favorite evasive maneuver.
03:48The so what?
03:50A rejoinder impossible to refute.
03:53The tried and true...
03:54Please.
03:56We now turn to your closing remarks.
04:00So?
04:03So what?
04:04Geraltille!
04:05Come on!
04:16I'll play it in now.
