Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.
He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.
Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all.
His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.
Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.
His entire formula fits on a napkin.
Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.
That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.
"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."
That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.
Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.
The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.
Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.
The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.
This is actually true
Once you understand the incentive, the reason for the behavior becomes obvious: they are importing a left-voting bloc that depends on government handouts.
A prominent example of this in America is Ilhan Omar and her Somali voting bloc in Minnesota, an area which used to be primarily Nordic-German.
Importing voters is a CERTAIN path to a single-party supermajority and has ALREADY happened at the state level in California and New York. It also explains why those states have BANNED VOTER ID in order to accelerate a permanent socialist supermajority, destroying any semblance of democracy.
We stand on the precipice of disaster, an end to America.

I don’t put a lot of trust in polls.
They said Hillary was definitely going to win the Presidency.
They said Kamala was going to win the majority of the swing states.
They said we’d never hear from Trump again.
That, and I don’t know a single person who has ever been polled. Not one.
Let’s show up on Tuesday and stop this country from Democrat Socialists and radical jihadists.

Cool ❤️
Robert and I are thrilled that our gift of over 2 million shares of SpaceX stock will be distributed to children’s Trump accounts in December!
Our initial gift (shares transferring to escrow as we speak) will go to 11 to 17-year-olds who live in zip codes with median family income (MFI) of $57,000 or less, and to those who live in zip codes with too few residents for an MFI to be reported in the census. These families should receive a notice by Monday.
In a few weeks, an additional gift will be finalized for eligible 11 to 17-year-old children in military families serving overseas, children in foster care, and more children whose MFI is $90,000 or less living in counties near our home in the great state of Texas.
Thank you to the incredible team @SpaceX, @Treasury, @IRS, @DellFdn, @GreaterHorizons, @InvestAmerica24, and the legal firms of Morgan Lewis and Gibson Dunn for working over the past few months to make this happen.
We are deeply grateful for the groundbreaking work that Brad Gerstner @altcap and @MichaelDell have done for the long-term financial security for millions of kids.
God Bless America!

A strong decision by the U.S. State Department – authorizing Ukraine’s purchase of Patriot interceptors to counter Russian ballistic missiles. Five hundred PAC-3 interceptors is a substantial number, and very soon – this winter – they COULD make for a highly effective defense package. However, it has been stipulated that deliveries may begin ONLY IN A FEW YEARS. We are asking our American partners to find a solution for the time when there is a real danger and a real need to use PAC-3 interceptors.
Right now, the Russians are attacking our energy infrastructure every single day. In just these past two weeks of October, there have already been more than 30 Russian strikes on critical parts of our power grid. It is right now, even before the beginning of winter, that Putin has started carrying out his operation to attack the systems that sustain life in our cities and communities. The targets are electricity, heating, water supplies, bridges, and life in our cities in general.
We did ask our American partners to provide Ukraine with a winter support package – at a rate of 100 Patriot interceptors per month. Five hundred missiles would be enough to protect our skies over the coming months – precisely when it is so important for Ukraine to be in a strong position in negotiations and for Russia NOT to succeed in breaking life in Ukrainian cities and communities.
The United States, our European partners, and other partners around the world have sufficient stocks of PAC-3 interceptors in their warehouses. Providing them to Ukraine right now – in the winter of 2026–2027 – and replenishing our partners’ arsenals LATER, in THE FOLLOWING YEARS, through this production already contracted and paid for by Ukraine and our partners would be the right approach. And it is entirely feasible.
We are grateful to President Trump. Importantly, we recently discussed PAC-3 interceptors with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Ukraine is grateful to the U.S. State Department and the U.S. Administration overall for granting this authorization. But we are asking for decisions that can guarantee the protection of lives not the day after tomorrow or sometime later, but at the very moment the threat is there – when Russia is killing and destroying. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine!

Swedish eco-Marxist Andreas Malm was just BANNED from coming to the UK. He wrote that his response to the October 7 Hamas attacks were “cries of jubilation”. We don’t want him here.
Det är chockerande för Andreas Malm att hans terrorvurmande får konsekvenser.
Mer chockerande är att han kan verka utan hinder i Sverige, och dessutom som anställd vid Lunds universitet. expressen.se/nyheter/sverige…

Well, now I am a free man and the dust is starting to settle I can now be FULLY transparent without repercussion.
@GlobalAffairs, aka, @elonmusk picked up the legal tab for my court proceedings these past few months.
This was only possible due to the relentless hard work of @ezralevant of @RebelNewsOnline who not only brought @laoisedebrun on board with Padraig Langsch, but pressed X legal department to pursue my case in the interests of Free Speech.
Waking up a free man after two years of daily persecution is a strange but liberating feeling.
I will continue to promote irishfreespeech.com for the cases of @RossLahive1 and Hugh Fagan who are facing Lawfare outside of X's remit and require funding so Laoise and Padraig can clear their names too.
Today, Irish citizen journalist Kirk Loco was acquitted at Bray District Court of a criminal charge under Ireland's "Coco's Law." X is proud to have funded Kirk's defense.
Kirk's alleged offense was a single post on X relaying a teenage girl's account of a migrant man exposing himself to her on a local bus. Kirk was arrested at his home and faced up to two years in prison.
The court found the State had not proved its case. "Grossly offensive" speech is not defined anywhere in the law. Vague laws like this invite abuse.
We will keep standing with users who report on matters of public concern.

Andreas Malm är ”chockad” över att Storbritannien förbjudit honom inresa med hänvisning till kopplingar till extremism.
Han skulle delta i ett arrangemang med grundaren av Palestine Action, en terrorstämplad organisation i Storbritannien. Samme Malm har hyllat både Hamas och Hizbollah.
Det anmärkningsvärda är inte att Storbritannien säger nej. Det chockerande är att Lunds universitet fortfarande låter honom verka som docent som om ingenting hänt.

Every time I’ve run for office, I’ve run on my vision for Alaska and my record.
Mary Peltola has neither, which is why she plotted to trick Alaskans and cheat in this election.
Alaskans care about character, judgment, and integrity. Mary’s plot shows she lacks all three.

I have an announcement:
My daughter’s smoke detector low battery chirp started going off in her room.
I took it down, showed her how to change the battery, and put it back up. No chirping anymore.
I’ve also instructed her there will be no wearing of bonnets out in public after she made a joke about wearing one to the airport. She’s grounded for three days over it. That wasn’t funny.
We’re breaking generational struggles here in the Arkham household…

Under året jag följde Lars Vilks för boken ”Skotten i Köpenhamn” (2016) avbokades han ständigt från paneldebatter och utställningar. Först blev det ibland ja - sen tog terrorskräcken över.
Detta fortsätter även efter Vilks död. Läs @ledarsidorna_se

Föreställ dig att du är en tandhygienist och bor i Sverige.
Du är anställd för att hjälpa ”migrantbarn” med deras tandproblem.
Som en del av ditt jobb undersöker du barnens visdomständer-utveckling och du märker att 80 % av dessa ”barn” har fullt utvecklade visdomständer, vilket innebär att de inte är barn alls utan vuxna över 18 års ålder.
Du berättar för Migrationsverket och de råder dig att sätta det på pränt.
När du skickar exakta detaljer, med exempel på specifika patienter, suspenderas du, utreds och sägs upp för att du röjt privata uppgifter om patienter.
Det här hände Bernt Herlitz 2017.
När han överklagade den orättvisa uppsägningen förlorade han till slut och dömdes att betala böter på cirka 50 000 dollar.
Han och hans familj drabbades av ekonomiska svårigheter och höll på att förlora sitt hem, tills några generösa mecenater samlade in pengar åt honom. Bernt är fortfarande arbetslös idag, trots personalbrist för tandläkare i hans område på Gotland.
På den tiden hånade Sverige testerna och hävdade att de var ”diskriminerande”, men sedan dess har man tyst infört omfattande tandläkarundersökningar, för de vars ålder är osäker, av Rättsmedicinalverket.
Bernt förtjänar en medalj. Inte förtal och arbetslöshet.

Ojojoj!
🇩🇪🚨MEGA-ESCÁNDALO: La ganadora de las elecciones de BERLÍN, del partido de ultraizquierda Die Linke confiesa por error que Hamás controla su partido y teme por su vida💣
Un error acaba de generar una crisis de seguridad impresionante. La revista Der Spiegel —un medio, cabe destacar, de marcada tendencia izquierdista— ha sacado a la luz un documento interno que prueba cómo Die Linke ha sido secuestrado por el islamismo.
Su candidata a gobernar Berlín, Elif Eralp, envió por accidente a la redacción las notas privadas de una entrevista donde confiesa estar coaccionada y aterrorizada por Hamás que opera dentro de su propio partido.
Resulta que luego de una entrevista, el equipo de la candidata revisó la transcripción. Durante este proceso, Eralp hizo comentarios internos que debían quedar en la más estricta confidencialidad. Sin embargo, el documento con las acotaciones sin borrar fue devuelto a los periodistas.
El contenido de esas notas es dinamita. Cuando Der Spiegel le preguntó por Ibrahim Ibrahim —un propalestino simpatizante de Hamás que celebró la masacre del 7 de octubre—, la respuesta pública iba a ser esquiva. Pero en el margen del documento filtrado, Eralp escribió la verdad: «Hay un PROBLEMA. [...] mi marido no, y yo tampoco, quiero nombrar nombres concretos, él tiene miedo de esta gente y yo también».
La filtración expone la cruda realidad del islamoizquierdismo en Alemania: Eralp llegó a comparar el nivel de amenaza de estos militantes pro-Palestina con el del Crimen Organizado e implora abortar la publicación: «No puedo poner en peligro a mí misma y a mi familia por Der SPIEGEL. ¿Qué hacemos ahora? ¿Anulamos toda la entrevista?».
El mayor chiste de toda esta situación, sin embargo, quedó plasmado en una de las frases que Eralp sí quería publicar. En un alarde de desconexión absoluta, la candidata afirma en la entrevista: «Lo que sí puedo decir con total claridad es que, como alcaldesa gobernante, velaré por la seguridad de todas las berlinesas y todos los berlineses». Una promesa que resulta irrisoria viniendo de una dirigente que, en el mismo documento, reconoce en secreto que ni siquiera puede proteger a su propia familia de las bases de su partido.
Luego del escándalo, Eralp ha anunciado que procederá legalmente contra Der Spiegel y presentará una queja formal ante el Consejo de Prensa por haber citado sus anotaciones internas. Esta maniobra judicial evidencia de inmediato lo susceptibles y completamente desbordados que están en realidad estos cuadros dirigentes frente a situaciones de crisis.
La izquierda radical berlinesa creyó que podía capitalizar electoralmente el extremismo islámico; hoy, los documentos demuestran que es el extremismo quien los tiene de rehenes.
