Frank Luntz is correct. I follow British and German media to get a better comprehension of the current state of American democracy from our EU/NATO allies!
I had the pleasure of speaking with Cleese some years ago and while brief he gave me his undivided attention. Very rare amongst celebrities who typically are concentrating on the exit.
As far as Luntz is concerned… I organized Eagle Scout boards and one of my questions to prospective Eagles was to ask why the first attribute in the Boy Scout law is “trustworthy.” The answer is without trust nothing else matters. Thought that up my own self.
@annetoronto5474 Frank knows Mccarthy hid the jan 6 tapes for 2 years allowing a 1000 political prisoners to be held without charge...he will hopefully end up in the same cell as the qshamen had to reside in for 6months.
When I first saw Frank Luntz I said I’ve heard of him. I fist listened to the talk which I found fascinating but there was some feeling of unauthentic. After reacquainting my self with Mr Luntz I was disappointed with his appearance on John’s show.
I’m a dinosaur so I have witnessed a lot, I have seen many people who are confident in their acquired knowledge on a subject or expertise in their chosen field judged to be arrogant. Some may be, most are stating unapologetically their informed opinion, they stand firm.
Self knowledge is not arrogance. The context typically used when people use the word arrogance implies an attitude, rather than the factual-ness of someone’s statement of abilities - an arrogant person implies that they are more important than anyone else. This will always be false, because there is always at least someone, somewhere, that does not care at all about said arrogant person or how great they think they are. This also means that someone who is able to identify their own abilities is not inherently arrogant for that ability.
I am from Canada and I have come to the realization that everything is a lie and the only thing that is real is when I go to my garage and work with my hands. Thanks for a great show, Cheers
An important thing to watch your words, like he does! A friend brought me to this topic and it is very surprising how much impact words have! It indeed forms our reality and relationships...
I could not make it through 3 minutes of this. Luntz is unbearable. I've been aware of him for a while but had no idea he would be this unbearable on camera. Next.
I'd like to applaud the cameramen of this show as the focus always seems to be spot on... kind of like the show in a way... Thank you Mr. Cleese, you seem to never miss the little bits.
It was Luntz who coaxed the Republican party to use the term climate change rather than global warming. "“Climate chanpe’’ is less frightening than “global warming;” As one focus group participant noted, climate change “sounds like you’re going from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale.” While global warming has catastrophic connotations attached to it, climate change suggests a more controllable and less emotional challenge".
The truth has become totally subjective in this day and age...people believe what they want to and won't accept something that they think is contrary to their collective/individual moral compass. p.s. considering the sheer volume of news outlets available now we can all pick and choose what perception of reality we are most comfortable in = 'echo chambers' and 'safe space bubbles' that we all believe is our precious perception of truth.
It is a great line but probably more of a sleight than a truth. And I thought he was not partisan, and a seeker of truth. The persona Trump displays in this Era , is far from the quick witted and smooth talking man from a decade ago or two decades ago. Yet this version got him into the white house. Maybe not so dumb.
As an Independent who voted for an independent, John Anderson my first time voting, then Republican after that, until Trump, I agree with him 100%. The extremes of American politics has never been worse, but what Trump and the MAGA have done is so antithetical to American values and democracy, there would be a special place in hell for them, if it existed.
David Wynn Miller in the 90s presented syntax language rules. It showed the law, and the corporation use it, we do not. Partly why forms have "x" on them, for the fool cannot write properly.
Lost me me when he started Trump bashing... while he speaks truth and sense, he has Trump derangement syndrome. Trump is a LOT smarter than John's guest realises. Too many assumptions made from polling the wrong people.
i agree he could have pointed out that tony blair is the root of so many issues today along with more recent villians like may and cameron. whilst in the US he focused solely on trump whilst forgetting obama( drone king), biden( inflation) and bush( indecisve war criminal) the bad situations in the US that led to boris and trump is not so. they are the response to a derelict political system that has corruption, especially in the US on both sides of the aisle. like him or hate him trump is the disrupter response to being ignored by politicians( which lutz has pointed out) lutz is about 80-90% there, but he pointed out inthe polling people want truth, so targetting a specific politician he doesn't like undermines his point. his book about words is not to bad either( i have a copy)
@@armstrong698 you didnt watch the video properly did you.. lutz was doing very well , but did the very thing that he himself said that people shouldn't be doing....
I think, to state it a different way, you stopped fully listening when he engaged in ridicule. For a guy who is SO attuned to words, this was an odd thing for the guest to say. It showed he actually is a partisan given that essentially half of the US voted for Trump and are always waiting for the truth to come out, and it did.
FYI: Boris Johnson has never made a job for his fellow citizens. While Donald Trump has made well over 22,000 jobs and as many as 34,000 through his business activities (per CNN Business 2015). I guess Boris was too busy just reading and writing books.
So Truth is rightly identified as the primary requirement for the thriving of humanity.. But manipulation of language....is that about truth? And to elevate Reconciliation from the bottom of the list (right at the end of the conversation)...seemed odd, even paradoxical. Reconciliation to a lie?.. Should we offer tolerance to the lie...or compromise with the truth..? Perhaps he wasn't saying that...We need more than 7% clarity.
I didn't watch, nor will I. The whole subject is hilarious to me considering who he's interviewing. Luntz wouldn't know truth if it bit him on his ample butt cheeks. Can't stand him.
He is wrong about eye toeye truthful conversation, That female, forall prehistory women talked eye to eye doing chores around the camp fire. Men's main function in hunting parties did not have that luxury. They had to be on the watch for predators! This an on going species memory (legacy)if you wiill.
This dude is scary smart. I love it.
I love my country 🇺🇸. I will always love my country. I don't always like my GOVERNMENT. That is the difference.
So true, good observation is the key. This is why artists often make great philosophers too. They've been well-trained in observation.
He is so right about the need for truth and the paucity of it now.
Frank Luntz is correct. I follow British and German media to get a better comprehension of the current state of American democracy from our EU/NATO allies!
It shows what a good education system does.
I too am so disappointed in USA but I am also so, so disappointed in the UK.If you love our culture, grab it whilst you can... it's vanishing fast.
English language is so prevalent all others culture should be worried 😂
Sorry that John didn't inquire as to how Lutz's "roomie" (Kevin McCarthy) is doing since he got booted out of office.
Great show. Great host . Great guests. GB channel is not aimed at lefties like myself but this is a show I feel welcome in. Honest and open enquiry.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Cleese some years ago and while brief he gave me his undivided attention. Very rare amongst celebrities who typically are concentrating on the exit.
Truth, honesty and integrity have been lost artforms for several decades, already.
Can you imagine being stuck sitting next to this guy on a plane?
LOL 🤣
Yeah, It would make your head hurt to havta learn something.
As far as Luntz is concerned…
I organized Eagle Scout boards and one of my questions to prospective Eagles was to ask why the first attribute in the Boy Scout law is “trustworthy.” The answer is without trust nothing else matters. Thought that up my own self.
Frank Luntz shared a house with Mccarthy whilst he was speaker of the house. Inside track with the Rinos
That’s right! That’s why he’s doesn’t like Trump!
Love Trump ❤ The best president ever!

This guy sees a lot but not his own arrogance.

Aw, another American taking intelligence , that you do not have, as arrogance. Everything is a personal attack to the insecure, boo.
Luntz included the people around him in his observation but forgot the cats
I don't think he likes cats. That's very suspicious!
@@SchroderCat 🙂 what a fitting name you have! Yes, people who don't like animals are suspicious!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ thank you

Thank you Mr. Cleese, you seem to never miss the little bits.
Politicians always want to get their way & if that means lying to the public they couldn't care less.
Yet..The public servants run all departments of Governance. We change the parties...yet the public servants do as they please 😮😮😮
It was Luntz who coaxed the Republican party to use the term climate change rather than global warming.
"“Climate chanpe’’ is less frightening than “global warming;” As one focus group participant noted, climate change “sounds like you’re going from Pittsburgh to Fort Lauderdale.” While global warming has catastrophic connotations attached to it, climate change suggests a more

When he said truth, maybe he means facts.
Corruption dissolves the truth
Point... the dum think everyone thinks like they do. Looking at you son.
He turned me into a newt...well...I got better ....😂😂😂
Tell it to the BBC…..
Lol. UK is in much worse shape than the U.S. Politically, Frank
white americans are a minorit in america
Great vid on Truth!
Words that work. Like, “Jehovah?”
America has been conditoned to ignore.
He's lucky that it wasn't my move. I would find out how far up there a pawn can be shoved😂.
I see a lot of things too. So what? Point?
Wow Frank Lutz wrote a book about what we have all been watching happen.
Not only pursuing objective truth, what the rule of law
The truth has become totally subjective in this day and age...people believe what they want to and won't accept something that they think is contrary to their collective/individual moral compass. p.s. considering the sheer volume of news outlets available now we can all pick and choose what perception of reality we are most comfortable in = 'echo chambers' and 'safe space bubbles' that we all believe is our precious perception of truth.
Appart from your opinion, though.
'huge bubble chamber' will be music to the ears of GBN besides winning an award recently 😏@pushoffnow
Exactly! The above replies just cemented your response!
He says listening to GB News
“Boris has written more books than Trump has read”, and the truth is that Trump’s MAGA is far more meaningful than Boris’s badly borrowed BBB.
The Spirit of Truth has been withdrawn.. its biblical
I think a classic case of ‘the grass is greener’. He’s come here, relatively unknown and is well found out in the US.
0:48 killed me to death
Great show. Love it.
"Boris has written more books than Trump has read" is a great line.
It is a great line but probably more of a sleight than a truth. And I thought he was not partisan, and a seeker of truth. The persona Trump displays in this Era , is far from the quick witted and smooth talking man from a decade ago or two decades ago. Yet this version got him into the white house. Maybe not so dumb.
Which is why he did nothing for the masses where as Trump did alot! ..
As an Independent who voted for an independent, John Anderson my first time voting, then Republican after that, until Trump, I agree with him 100%. The extremes of American politics has never been worse, but what Trump and the MAGA have done is so antithetical to American values and democracy, there would be a special place in hell for them, if it existed.
Fire your talent booker.
did john whisper "go away" to the waiter?
This chap shows a paucity of u detsyanding of this country, Britain! It is a mess an irrevocable..
“You see, but you do not observe.”... Its elementary my dear Cleese...
Not sure about this man, something seems off.
Yes, but is it "your truth" or "my truth"?
I don’t like him
It would be a a memorable evening if frank were a dinner guest! Loved this interview!
Why.. you must be new to this!! 😢
He sounds rather distraught
In fact, the world has been coming to an end since the first two cavemen started talking.
Yet, here we are....
David Wynn Miller in the 90s presented syntax language rules. It showed the law, and the corporation use it, we do not. Partly why forms have "x" on them, for the fool cannot write properly.
John Cleese first coming, from being a greatest comedian to an uncensored conservative pillar of truths
Big words.. little truth!
America lost it a long, long time ago, along with the rest of the world
Lost me me when he started Trump bashing... while he speaks truth and sense, he has Trump derangement syndrome. Trump is a LOT smarter than John's guest realises. Too many assumptions made from polling the wrong people.
So trump isn’t a liar?
i agree
he could have pointed out that tony blair is the root of so many issues today along with more recent villians like may and cameron. whilst in the US he focused solely on trump whilst forgetting obama( drone king), biden( inflation) and bush( indecisve war criminal)
the bad situations in the US that led to boris and trump is not so. they are the response to a derelict political system that has corruption, especially in the US on both sides of the aisle.
like him or hate him trump is the disrupter response to being ignored by politicians( which lutz has pointed out)

@@armstrong698 you didnt watch the video properly did you..
lutz was doing very well , but did the very thing that he himself said that people shouldn't be doing....
Both woke and MAGA are bad for America and the world. We need real moderate leadership, not constantly ramping up polarization.
I think, to state it a different way, you stopped fully listening when he engaged in ridicule. For a guy who is SO attuned to words, this was an odd thing for the guest to say.

he is lying!
Deceiving.
He said he wants the truth but he came to the UK!!!
He should go to Poland or Hungary.
And your tweakin, put the meth down.
Ah, another one of the little hat tribe telling us what we should think the truth is.
US was humbug from day one ;-)
So Truth is rightly identified as the primary requirement for the thriving of humanity..

He mentioned January 6th...
But we now know all about January 6th.
Is this fellow so ill informed that he still doesn't know?
He was there.
@@courtneybrubaker9738 You're suggesting, that rather than simply being ill-informed, he's not telling the truth?
@@Peter.F.C Plez go in 2025, so we can have you join your peaceful tourist buddies in prison.
Luntz isn't interested in Words to take a Temp of Ppl. He, like all DeElites, want to use words to deceive & trick others 2 his side
So pleased Mr Cleese finally asked him to shut up. Annoying man with too much to say but very little content.
Yes, 'So pleased' - I thought I was going mad 😂🙃
I didn't watch, nor will I. The whole subject is hilarious to me considering who he's interviewing. Luntz wouldn't know truth if it bit him on his ample butt cheeks. Can't stand him.
Luntz is a two-bit focus group RINO manipulation artist.
Frank Luntz boring b.s.er..
He is wrong about eye toeye truthful conversation, That female, forall prehistory women talked eye to eye doing chores around the camp fire.
