1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,040
Good evening, uh fellow uh Frisco City Council
members.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,040
Uh my name is Dale Frey, I live at 6017

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,280
Cypress Crow Drive in the Colony, Texas.

4
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,600
I am the um I do public public relations for

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,280
Progressive Leaders Toastmasters.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,360
I am the president of the Frisco Democratic
Club.

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,080
I'm a formal senatorial candidate for Texas
State Senate District

8
00:00:18,080 --> 00:00:20,160
30, which encompasses all of Frisco.

9
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,400
I am for a former precinct chair and I'm
currently

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,800
running for the position of Denton County
Clerk.

11
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,000
Now, I come today in order to supply y'all
with

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,360
a couple of suggestions.

13
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,360
But before I get to that, I think I need

14
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,520
to acknowledge that I know, and everyone in
this room

15
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,360
should know how this microphone works.

16
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:37,520
The conversations go in one direction.

17
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,760
If I was to ask you a question, I am

18
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,840
not gonna expect you to answer on the spot,
because

19
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,600
after all, if you did, you'd be taken away
from

20
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,280
my five-minute time limit, right?

21
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,200
Additionally, if you were to answer or respond
to a

22
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,280
question on the spot, this could turn into a
debate,

23
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,440
which is why I'm not gonna ask you directly a

24
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,200
question or expect an answer immediately.

25
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,600
And I think everyone in the room should know
that.

26
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,880
Now, before I go into my suggestions, and
speaking of

27
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,080
questions, by the way, I want to highlight an
old

28
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:03,760
trick that I see a lot of people doing to

29
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,960
this microphone right here.

30
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:06,720
And that is the oldest trick of the book, and

31
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,400
that is supplying a statement in the form of a

32
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,120
question.

33
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,640
I see lots of people do this.

34
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,080
I even sometimes peep see people making racist
statements in

35
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,360
the form of a question.

36
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,680
This is very convenient to the speaker because
when they

37
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,240
do this, he now has the excuse where if he

38
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,640
gets called out called out, he could say,
What's wrong?

39
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,920
I was just asking questions.

40
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,760
What are you trying to censor me?

41
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,080
This is the oldest trick in the book.

42
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,920
Watch out for this tactic.

43
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,960
Another common tactic you'll see is people
talking really, really

44
00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:37,520
fast, going from topic to topic, changing the
topic mid-sentence,

45
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,360
asking questions over here, immediately going
over there and asking

46
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,240
another question.

47
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,480
When a speaker, a true genuine speaker, will
speak at

48
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,880
a rate and a pace where the audience can hear

49
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,760
what the speaker says and then processes the
information in

50
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,960
their head.

51
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,560
That is what a genuine speaker does.

52
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,560
When someone talks really, really quick like
that, changing the

53
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,720
topic constantly, they're trying to confuse
the audience.

54
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,880
And more importantly, they're trying to make
sure the audience

55
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,680
doesn't have the time to process the message
because this

56
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,040
breaks their ability to supply critical
thinking.

57
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,080
Now, another thing I do want to say is that

58
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,080
I've seen an example of this all the time.

59
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,080
For example, if someone says, Why are there so
many

60
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,560
insert group here people in Frisco?

61
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,280
Pick your enemy.

62
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,120
It could be black people, it could be Jewish
people,

63
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,680
it could be more recently I heard Indian
people.

64
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,680
When someone's asking a statement like that,
why are there

65
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,840
so many of these insert group people here?

66
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,080
They're not asking a genuine question.

67
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,080
They're trying to make a statement.

68
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,120
So my my suggestion is this, and I know this

69
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,200
is gonna sound crazy, but I think it's your
only

70
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,000
option.

71
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,720
Your only option is to ignore them.

72
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,160
I know that sounds crazy, but you honestly
have no

73
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:41,960
other choice.

74
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,040
If you were to respond to them, they will take

75
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,720
bad actors will take everything that you say,
take snippets

76
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,960
of that conversation and put it on their
social media.

77
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,920
There's no way of interacting with bad actors
without giving

78
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:54,280
them what they want.

79
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,480
Also, obviously, no one's trying to censor
anybody, right?

80
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,080
I think we can all acknowledge that.

81
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,280
And the thing is this if if you do censor

82
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,040
them, which no one's going to, but if you did,

83
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,720
you're giving them exactly what they want.

84
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,920
Because to a lot of these bad actors, uh to

85
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:12,120
a lot of these bad actors, persecution is a
signal

86
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,560
of virtue to them.

87
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,320
They want to be persecuted.

88
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,840
And that's why you see a lot of these really

89
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,760
bad actors, like Nick Fuentes, for example,
will spout racist

90
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,040
rhetoric on social media to the point he gets
banned

91
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,520
because he wants to be banned, because when he
does

92
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,360
get banned, he gets to say, look at me, I'm

93
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:29,160
being censored.

94
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,400
Because to his audience, persecution is a
signal of virtue.

95
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,880
My fellow city council members, it pains me to
tell

96
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,440
you this.

97
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,320
But honestly, the only option you have for
some of

98
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,720
these bad actors is just to ignore them.

99
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,280
There's no way of engaging with some of these
individuals

100
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,800
in a way that will be beneficiary to any of

101
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:47,200
us.

102
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,360
Thank you for your time and God bless America
