Last October, Paul Pelosi was hit in the head with a hammer after David DePape broke into his home and held him hostage. For several months, conspiracy stories swirled regarding the encounter, and people in the mainstream, such as Elon Musk, fueled the doubts. Last Friday, the footage was released after increasing pressure for transparency. The videos and 911 call support the story that was released.
David DePape broke into the home in search of Nancy Pelosi. Paul Pelosi called to report him while speaking cryptically in hopes that police would be sent. The dispatcher did a poor job of interpreting what was happening.
Eventually, the officers were sent to Pelosi’s home. When they arrived, Paul and David answered the door. Jointly in their hands was a single hammer. The police were slow to act and react, and David wrestled the hammer from Paul’s hands and began swinging into Pelosi’s skull before the cops registered what they were witnessing. They jumped into action and neutralized the situation.
The emergency is now documented for the public to view. Despite what should be a clear-cut acknowledgment of what happened, people are still looking to debunk the video and story to insert their own. This is cognitive bias, and, cognitive dissonance shown at the most recognizable level. The inability of individuals to seek truth is not a lack of their IQ; instead, it is a normal human psychological flaw.
In “The Enigma of Reason,” the scientist have many studies that have proven why people refuse to acknowledge facts. This is on continual display; from 9/11 to Covid vaccine safety, people see what they want to see. Unfortunately, neither the book, nor my show can come to a conclusion of how to fix this issue. We can, however, recognize it and make society aware that there is problem. As the saying goes, the first step to fixing a problem is to acknowledge you have one.

So disingenuous to ask why there’s reluctance too accept the outcome of Paul Pelosis video. The mainstream media has been gaslighting Americans for 7 years without a single recant of the blatant deception poured onto us like gasoline on a fire. Fauci lied, Dr Birx lied, Biden lies everyday. Come on 🙄
100% agree that there are lies everyday. And as stated in the podcast, I understood why people did not trust the account of the Pelosi story. However – once confronted with facts – I wanted to explore why people do not adjust their previously held belief. If you listened to the show you would hear me relate this to the jab and how some still believe “safe and effective” despite us now having facts. People refuse to change because of cognitive bias and dissonance. I use Pelosi as an example. I do not believe that is disingenuous at all.
