I usually donโt agree with a lot of things @SenWarren says, but on this one she is 100% correct. Private equity has destroyed SO many storied brands.
An audience member asks Harvard Law Professor Randall Kennedy how he can claim conservatives aren't discriminated against in academia, after she had to lie about her political views on papers to graduate college and fears being passed over for promotions because of her politics.
Ten million people have watched a Stanford lecturer accidentally destroy the entire public speaking coaching industry.
He filmed the lecture once in October 2014 and it has been on YouTube ever since.
Speaking coaches charge two thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in one hour for free.
His name is Matt Abrahams. He is a lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the coach who has trained thousands of Silicon Valley founders on how to answer questions live.
Every year at Stanford's Alumni Weekend, he gives the same lecture called "Think Fast, Talk Smart."
His entire framework fits on a napkin.
Anxiety is not a bug. Greet it. Do not perform. Have a conversation. Never open with an apology. Use What, So What, Now What when your brain freezes. Problem, Solution, Benefit for a pitch. Never end with "any questions?"
That last rule alone has probably cost the pitch coaching industry a hundred million dollars.
"Ninety percent of the words that will decide your career are not written down in advance."
That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Abrahams built the entire Stanford elective on the sentence.
Founders spend $50,000 on pitch coaches and freeze the moment the investor asks a follow-up question. Engineers walk into performance reviews having rehearsed every accomplishment and blank on the one behavioral question that decides the promotion.
The lecture is free on Stanford's YouTube channel. Abrahams's book "Think Faster, Talk Smarter" is under twenty dollars.
Abrahams still teaches at Stanford. Almost none of the ten million viewers have used the three-step frame when put on the spot.
The frame is free. The willingness to actually use it the next time someone puts you on the spot is the entire edge.
Sen. John Kennedy just made mincemeat of a smug college professor.
Her take under oath:
Biden using government to compel speech? A โmyth.โ
Trump doing it? Oh yes โ thatโs real.
Then Kennedy reads her own words back to her.
NYU Law Review:
The Supreme Court turned the Constitution into a โtool of racial patriarchyโโฆ
and a โhomicide pactโโฆ
privileging โwhite menโs ability to terrorize and kill.โ
Her tweets:
โThe majority of Americans hate women more than they love anything, including democracy.โ
And the reason SCOTUS protects guns but not abortion?
โWhite male supremacy.โ
Kennedy: Youโre an officer of the court. You expect us to take you seriously?
Are you kidding me?

Elon Musk says people have at most 10 years left to earn money by selling their work.
After that, AI does most tasks, and paying for time stops making sense.
Trading hours for a salary is ending.

๐จ JUST IN: Fraud Czar JD Vance just dropped a BOMBSHELL saying Nick Shirley has been 100% VINDICATED, $90M in fraud has been raided in Minnesota, and more is coming
"In one of the most horrifying cases charged today, a recipient who needed 24-hour care was supposed to be receiving exactly that through a Minnesota Medicaid benefit program. But he received nothing...he was found dead."
"One day before this man died, the fraudster in question had tried to bill for the non-existent services, the services that if they had been provided, this man might actually be with us today!"
"I was shocked when I watched @nickshirleyy's bombshell investigation of migrant fraud in Minnesota, which called attention to the now infamous Quality Learing Center."
"This morning, the ringleader of the $250 million Feeding Our Future Fraud Scheme in Minnesota was sentenced in federal court to over 40 years in prison, bringing justice to the countless schoolchildren and families she had scammed. And on top of that, today, federal law enforcement launched a massive raid in Minneapolis!"
"Across the city, agents have arrested 15 people for suspected fraud that amounted to $90 million."
"In 2018, Minnesota tried to provide housing services for the homeless. They estimated that the cost of the program would be $2.5 million a year. By 2024, the program had exploded to $104 million annually, and almost all of that, almost all of it, was because of fraud."
"As a result, the state had to shut down the program and can no longer provide those services to Americans in need!"
"The victims in the cases announced by DOJ today also include disabled Americans who rely on community support to live full, independent lives."
"If you're committing fraud, our task force will find you. We'll come after you, and we will not rest until justice is served. Don't defraud the American taxpayer."
The days when viewers were creeped out by a ghostly whisper during live coverage of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral procession.
A female voice can be heard saying "The death is irreversible...the fact that she's trapped..." during the British broadcasters' live coverage.
