    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 5, 2024 9:01


    Debate Begins: JD Vance and Tim Walz take the stage for the Vice Presidential debate. Vance's Deceptions: Throughout the debate, JD Vance displays deceptive body language, particularly when discussing his past support for Donald Trump and his policies. Eye Blocking: Vance closes his eyes longer than a normal blink when confronted with questions about Trump's fitness for office, past failures to deliver on promises, and the need for Americans to trust Vance to advise Trump appropriately. "Accordion" Gesture: When admitting he was wrong about some of his past beliefs, Vance utilizes a modified version of Trump's "accordion" hand gesture, indicating an attempt to contain a complex issue. Mispronunciation: Vance mispronounces the word "dishonest" while discussing reports he previously believed, suggesting deception as word error rate is a high indicator. Stress Indicators: His blink rate increases significantly when discussing "delivered" and "increased take-home pay," further pointing to stress and potential deception. "Stop" Gesture: When discussing consistency, Vance uses a universal "stop" gesture, indicating a desire to avoid the topic. He then deflects blame to Congress. Walz's Emotional Display: Tim Walz exhibits a unique combination of sadness and fear throughout the debate, particularly when under pressure. Sadness Indicators: Walz's sadness is evident through the upturned tips of his eyebrows above the bridge of his nose. Fear Indicators: He displays fear through wide eyes, rapid movements, and a panicked look. This is particularly evident when he looks to the moderators for help. "Deer in the Headlights" Look: The combination of sadness and fear results in a noticeable "deer in the headlights" look, highlighting his struggle under pressure. Disbelief in Own Words: At one point, Walz shrugs one shoulder while pointing his chin towards it, indicating disbelief or lack of conviction in his own words. Debate Concludes: The debate ends with both candidates having displayed telling body language cues. Cast of Characters: 1. JD Vance: Bio: Republican Vice-Presidential candidate in the 2024 election. Former supporter of Donald Trump, now navigating his past stances and statements. Body Language Analysis: Displays numerous deceptive cues throughout the debate, particularly when addressing his history with Trump and potentially controversial policy positions. 2. Tim Walz: Bio: Democratic Vice-Presidential candidate in the 2024 election. Body Language Analysis: Exhibits a unique and unprecedented combination of sadness and fear when stressed, suggesting discomfort and pressure on the debate stage. 3.
