Ross Welcome back. I can't believe it's been 11 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 2: almost six years. 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, six years. It was so great to be invited again. 13 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 3: Thank you, George. 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 2: How have you been. 15 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 3: I've been actually really good. I've been working on another 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 3: book and it's almost finished and four years into making, 17 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 3: and so that's citing and and work is good. I'm 18 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 3: happy about that is. 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: Going to be part of the Human Magnet Syndrome. 20 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 3: Yeah. Actually it's an expansion. It basically rewrites everything everyone 21 00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 3: knows about codependency and narcissism is just it's just wrong 22 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 3: the whole field. The code pency got it wrong in 23 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,880 Speaker 3: the seventies. So basically it's my focused attempt to finally rewrite, 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: re explain what codependency is and why these codependents always 25 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 3: fall in love blindly with narcissists, pathological narcissists who are dangerous, 26 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 3: manipulative and only can see it, only can see what 27 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 3: they need and ignore what others. 28 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 2: Russ I call these narcissists monsters. Is that an accurate 29 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 2: portrayal of them? 30 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 3: Yeah? See, you know there's the problem that I have 31 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 3: is there's there's a proliferation of self proclaimed experts everywhere 32 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 3: on narcissism, and so there's so many definitions rolling around. 33 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 3: So if you talk to Mental Health Commission, there's a 34 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: mental health disorder called narcissistic personal disorder, and that's that 35 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: really messed up disorder because you don't these narcissists, they 36 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 3: don't know they have a problem, they can't see it, 37 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 3: they don't go to therapy, and they blame everyone else. 38 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 3: But there are different forms of it. So the ones 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: that have sociopathy are sociopathic narcissists. So it's a combination 40 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: of narcissistic personal disorder and another disorder long form is 41 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: antisocial personality disorder or sociopaths. The sociopathic narcissists are the 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: monsters because they don't have empathy, they do not have remorse. 43 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: They think ahead of time what they want to do 44 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 3: and how they're going to do it. They plan it. 45 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 3: Where you got these garden variety, you know, narcissists who 46 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 3: just are grandiose. They just think they're better than everyone else, 47 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 3: and they jump in front of conversation. They think the 48 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 3: world is looking at them. But these monsters, sociopath narcissists, 49 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 3: they live in the shadows. They and they know how 50 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: to white people. They look for their victims and they 51 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 3: strategically weaken them in order to get and get the 52 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: control over them. And that's why we call them monsters. 53 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: They're very good at what they do, aren't they. 54 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 3: Well, they're good because they were born that way. These 55 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 3: monster narcissists were I'm going to call sociopaths. They were 56 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 3: born that way. They were born in a world where 57 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 3: they were crushed and destroyed early, and so they came 58 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 3: up as a little child knowing only that the only 59 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,079 Speaker 3: thing that's ever going to give them pleasure is what 60 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 3: they take. It's a doggy dog world, the flyer in 61 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 3: the windshield. So by the time they become adults, they 62 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 3: are thinking only about what can I do, how can 63 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: I get it at all costs? And so they find 64 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: what I call normal or healthy individuals or codependants, and 65 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 3: they find their weaknesses, they find the cracks, the fissures, 66 00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 3: they find their vulnerabilities, and they and they spring forward 67 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 3: and they exploit. It's like parasites. They take from these 68 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: code pendants or they're victims, everything that they have just 69 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: for themselves, and they give very little in return and 70 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 3: often can destroy their lives. 71 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: What or who created them when they were small parents. 72 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, so all of us, and I don't want to 73 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 3: go into I'm not invited to talk about attachment theory, 74 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 3: but all of us, our personalities are are developed by 75 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 3: how we were raised. So if we were raised by normal, 76 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 3: average parents with normal average problems, we're going to get 77 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 3: a lot of love and nurturing and we're going to 78 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 3: grow up and we're going to bring that into our 79 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 3: adult life and we're going to know about it, and 80 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 3: we're going to choose partners that give it to us. 81 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: But if we came from parents that were abusive, crushing, 82 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 3: you know, crushingly abusive and mean and nasty, that creates 83 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 3: a shutdown on a complete crushing of personality development. And 84 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 3: and that's child moves forward into adulthood with no development 85 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 3: of morals, no development of ethics, concern regard that. They 86 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 3: take that world in which they felt crushed, they want 87 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 3: to crush it back, they want to steal from it, 88 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 3: they want to destroy it. And those are the people 89 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 3: that know exactly what they have to do in order 90 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: to get it, because that's what they had to do 91 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: when they were children. And I don't say this to 92 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 3: bring any sympathy for them. Is I tell a lot 93 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: of people, if we had sympathy for all the sociopaths 94 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,479 Speaker 3: in the world, our prisons would have no one. I mean, 95 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 3: but that's where it comes from. And they take the 96 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 3: frame of reference and they use it, abuse it, and 97 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 3: they literally crush people. That's why my favorite term is 98 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: to explain, these sociopathic narcissists are parasites. They live on 99 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 3: the life force of the victim and they will take 100 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 3: it and take it and take it until there's nothing 101 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 3: lefts Yeah, like vampires. I mean, actually I use it. 102 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: You know, I'm a psychotherapist and in therapy I use 103 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 3: I use the word vampire or emotional vampires is a metaphor. 104 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: You know, vampires sucks blood. Blood is life force. Well, 105 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: these sociopathic narcissist, these monsters, they suck the emotional, financial 106 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 3: life force, energetic sexual life force of the individual and 107 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 3: leave them empty, empty as a shell, and have no 108 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: empathy because they think they deserve it and they believe 109 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: they're victims needed it because they blame them for everything. 110 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: Do they then move on to another victim. 111 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 3: It all depends, you know, it's it's a it's a 112 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: general term, these pathological narcissists with sociopathic So they're either 113 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: sociopathic sociopathic traits. It depends who they are. If they're 114 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 3: the insecure type who live in the shadows, who don't 115 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 3: want people to know, you know, these are not the 116 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: ones you see in the news or not, you know, 117 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 3: big in business or not entertainment. They don't want anyone 118 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 3: to see them, so they have they live in a 119 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: in a costume, they live by a mask. These are 120 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: the ones that in their office they have these beautiful 121 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: family portraits they talk about vacations. They present this fake facade, 122 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 3: this this. 123 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: Metaphorical and we should point out that not everybody who 124 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: has family portraits is a narcissist, right. 125 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, good point. What 126 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: I'm talking about is we're talking about these type of 127 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 3: narcissists on the outside pretend to be normal, but on 128 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 3: the end, because that's how they survived, because they remember, 129 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: these sociopathic monster narcissists, they know who they are. They're 130 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: not like the other writing narcissists who are oblivious, and 131 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 3: so they have to fit in and not be known. 132 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,680 Speaker 3: So back at home they destroy everyone, but outside they 133 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: pretend to be something that some are likable, some are respected. 134 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 3: So to your question, do they move on the ones 135 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: that are insecure? They need the family, They need the 136 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: wife or the husband in order to exist. That the 137 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 3: vampire is not going to get rid of his zombie 138 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: victims who give him blood. He needs them in order 139 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: to he wants to keep them close. So most of 140 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: these sociopathic narcissists, these monsters, they don't move on, but 141 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,680 Speaker 3: every so often they're victims will find a psychotherapist like me, 142 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 3: whether it's through my YouTube channel or my self Love 143 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 3: Recovery dot com website. They will realize there's a way out, 144 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 3: and that becomes problem number one. 145 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 2: When does the narcissist ross show his or her true colors. 146 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 3: They show their true colors when it is safe, so 147 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: when there's no chance or little chants of consequences. So remember, 148 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: these are sociopaths. They know what they're doing. They're not 149 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 3: just the grandiose you know. 150 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 2: Personality, yeah yeah, yeah, nothing. 151 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 3: But so they know what they're doing. And so if 152 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 3: things get hot, if let's say someone is noticing them, 153 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: they have to crush that person. They have to crush 154 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 3: it directly through aggression, but more often than not passive, aggressively, 155 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 3: behind the scenes, covertly. These are the ones that will 156 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 3: do anything to destroy the reputation, that the impact of 157 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 3: someone that's trying to out them. It's almost as if 158 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 3: they're going to steal their oxygen, their whole life, for 159 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 3: their whole power is being secret if you if you 160 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 3: out them, I have a video and I'm not a 161 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 3: rock star in no way, but I have a video 162 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: it says, don't take the mask off. The covert narcissists run. 163 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 3: It's a few of four million times I still have 164 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 3: to pinch myself. I can't. But the reason that video 165 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: has been viewed so many times, it basically says, don't 166 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: mess with these people because they have so much to lose. 167 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 3: If you try to expose them, you need to escape 168 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,840 Speaker 3: without trying to expose them, because they will do anything 169 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 3: to crush the victim. Who's going to show the world 170 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: they're a monster. 171 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: Is Vladimir Putin one of these. 172 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: Well, I haven't personally met him nor diagnosed them, but 173 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 3: I sincerely believe from all the information and then I 174 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 3: read the papers that he is a sociopath and he 175 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: shows actual cold indifference, no regard for humanity. He lies, 176 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 3: everything's about himself. Anyone who challenges them or who tries 177 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 3: to take his masks off, talk about don't taste them, 178 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 3: don't take the mask off, just run. Well, he kills them. 179 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 3: And he is probably the easiest person for me to 180 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 3: diagnose as a sociopath based upon everything we know. Because 181 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: if you don't have any any moral fiber, you don't 182 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: have any empathy, any regard for human life and feelings, 183 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 3: you can do almost anything. And if you're in power, 184 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: forget about it. 185 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: What do they want? What is their ending power. 186 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 3: Power. They okay, So if you go back to the 187 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 3: childhood explanation, you know where they were raised, they were raised, 188 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 3: they were crushed as children, they were almost destroyed. So 189 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 3: in their point of view, their only way to feel 190 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 3: safe in the world is by power, by money, by land, 191 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: by politics. So someone like Putin, he establishes power almost globally. 192 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 3: But someone like to next door neighbor power by you know, blackmail, 193 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 3: by gas lighting, by threats, by unreasonable mental manipulation. But 194 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 3: it is power to protect them from They don't want 195 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,080 Speaker 3: to give up anything that they have taken or stolen. 196 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: They must have a charm about them Russia in order 197 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 2: to pull in and capture some who cares about them absolutely. 198 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 3: And this is where politics and these narcissistic monsters come 199 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 3: into play. You have to rise to the to the 200 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 3: level of where you are seen as likable, respectable, lovable. 201 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: You have to create an outside persona. It's like an actor, 202 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 3: it's like wearing a costume. You can't be a total jerk. 203 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: You got to watch my words here and. 204 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: Be careful. 205 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: You can't be a total jerk and hope the rise 206 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 3: of positions of power. Hope to get the beautiful woman 207 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 3: or the beautiful man that you want, hope to get 208 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 3: hired in a prestigious law firm. You have to mold yourself. 209 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 3: You have to shape yourself into what you know people like. 210 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: And these monster sociopath narcissists, they know what people want 211 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 3: and like. That is their skill set. They can read 212 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: their subjects and they know what that person wants to see, 213 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: so they can shape themselves and for sometimes in an 214 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 3: indefinite period of time, and be that fake person so 215 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 3: they can get the power. And once they solidify their power, 216 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: once they weaken their opponents, once they shut them down, 217 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 3: they gas like them to sabotage them, then their true 218 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: self comes out and they don't worry because they created 219 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 3: a circle around them to defend their power and the 220 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 3: weakened opponents. 221 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: What's the difference between someone who is trying to better 222 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: themselves in a good way. They're intuitive, you know, they 223 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 2: read people well and everything else. Traits of a narcissist 224 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: who have these abilities, not the mean stuff, but the abilities, 225 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: but the abilities to read people and know what to 226 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: say and stuff like that. What's the difference between the 227 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 2: good guy in the band. 228 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: Well, let's let's look at empathy. First of all, you 229 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: could have empathy because you're a good guy. You love 230 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 3: someone is whether it's your child, your neighbor. You're just 231 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 3: a healthy, normal human that has empathy. 232 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 2: You cry when people fall and get hurt, your stuff empathy. 233 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 3: That half of the sociopathic nurciss doesn't have empathy, so 234 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 3: they have to pretend. 235 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: Do they wish they had empathy or they don't care. 236 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 3: Not really, they don't care because they don't really have 237 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 3: that center core that feels like they lost anything. Now 238 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 3: that would be the guard writing narcisses. But to the 239 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 3: intuitive part, intuition is independent of good mental health or 240 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 3: bad mental health. So you can be a criminal sociopath 241 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: and have good intuition and know how no when to 242 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: and I say this rhetorically because it's a horrible crime 243 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: to rape someone or drob a bank. Know, just have 244 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 3: this intuitive feeling of or you can be this wonderfully healthy, 245 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 3: wonderful person have good intuition and know when to take 246 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 3: care of someone or when to talk. So intuition is 247 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 3: it should not be aligned with personality types. It's an 248 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 3: independent thing. So the celciopath uses this intuition for evil 249 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 3: and bad They try to figure people out. They go 250 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 3: by experience. They use this feeling and this, and these 251 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 3: narcissist monsters who have good intuition and who are intelligent 252 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 3: are the most dangerous and evil of all of them. 253 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 2: Are they what we would consider to be successful people? 254 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 3: Smarter they are, the more calculated, they are, the more successful. 255 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 3: And that's the difference between the garden and This happens 256 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 3: a lot of politics. I'm not going to mention names, 257 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 3: but people in politics who are narcissistic, they're more grandiose 258 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 3: than sociopathic. They it's like they get drunk on the 259 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 3: power and and the You can think of all the 260 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 3: ones that that. Okay, I'm not gonna mention names, but 261 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 3: did they get drunk? 262 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: I know you want to. 263 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 3: I was I was thinking of one. I was thinking 264 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 3: of one guy, George Santos. He's been disgraced. I don't 265 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 3: think he has any fans. I don't think I'm going 266 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 3: to send anyone he's He was the guy that basically 267 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: everyone kicked out, both the right and the left. But 268 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: he completely lied about everything everything. There was nothing that 269 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: was the truth. He found what people needed to hear. 270 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 3: If he was talking in front of Jewish people. He 271 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 3: told them that his parents were concentration camps. And and 272 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 3: your listeners know about him, it's because he knew what 273 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: people wanted in order to get their money. And but 274 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 3: the difference between the successful ones and I used successful 275 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 3: loosely because the sex successful can be dangerous and harmful, sure, 276 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 3: but the ones that don't get caught, I'll call that 277 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 3: successful lies and intelligence. Bernie Madoff was a sociopathic grates. 278 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 3: He was a. 279 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 2: Monster, a great salesman, a great salesman. 280 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 3: But his intellect was beyond brilliant. And so that was 281 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 3: his best way to keep from getting caught. Is he 282 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 3: could calculate how close he was getting caught in what 283 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 3: to do. 284 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 2: But it all caves in eventually, doesn't. 285 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 3: It Absolutely, because that's what happens to most of these 286 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 3: these vampire sociopathic narcissists. They believe they are over, that 287 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 3: they are bigger and more important and above the law. 288 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 3: But that's where the delusion comes in. They're not and 289 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 3: they can't see that people will eventually catch them. It's 290 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 3: just a matter of time. 291 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: Listen to more Coast to Coast AM every weeknight at 292 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 1: one am Easter and go to Coast to Coasta m 293 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,160 Speaker 1: dot com for more
