According to Fox News, body language professional Scott Rouse examined Minnesota chancellor Tim Walz’s response during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate, where he was confronted about a gap regarding his appearance at the Tiananmen Square protests. Despite evidence that Walz had traveled to Asia many months after, in August 1989, when CBS editors challenged his claim that he had been in Hong Kong during the protests, the discussion took an unexpected turn.
Dr. Phil asked him to evaluate Walz’s response to the question about his Tiananmen state after having previously invited Rouse to study body language during the political debate. The clip showed CBS’s Margaret Brennan asking Walz,” You actually did n’t travel to Asia until August of that year, can you explain that discrepancy”?
In reply, Walz began by discussing his upbringing in rural Nebraska. Rouse interpreted this as a signal of despair, explaining,” As that mind goes backward, that’s stress. Because he’s not certain how he’s going to support this”. He noted the governor’s vision widening and the subtle signals in his visual expressions, indicating an inner conflict.
Rouse cited Walz’s notable hand movement as his “biggest hands gesture of the day” and suggested it exemplified his despair to persuade people by saying,” I want you to think me! You must think what I say!
Dr. Phil concurred, arguing that a succinct response followed by an argument tends to come across as more reliable. ” Do n’t you want to hear the answer up front”? he asked the audience, poking fun at Walz’s first answer about his small-town foundations.
Rouse cited Walz’s well-known diversionary plan known as” chaff and redirect,” which uses related information. He suggested a more straightforward approach would have been more effective:” No, I was n’t, and I said I was. Allow me explain”.
Dr Phil humorously said,” But then we would n’t have known where he was born”.
