ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE:

What if the most dangerous weapon in America right now isn’t a gun, but a headline?

In Episode 253 of Daily Persuasion, titled “The Truth About Vance Luther Boelter ft. The ‘No Kings’ Protests,” bestselling author Joshua Lisec peels back the curtain on how manufactured narratives, strategic language, and propaganda shape our understanding of political violence. With Lisec’s signature blend of investigative clarity and sharp rhetorical analysis, this episode isn’t just about Vance Boelter—it’s about how public perception is weaponized.

If you missed the story, Vance Luther Boelter (pronounced Belter, not Bolter) is the Minnesota assassinations suspect who targeted Democrat lawmakers in a chilling attack that set off alarms across the political spectrum. But the moment the facts began to emerge—that Boelter was a Democratic appointee, had ties to the No Kings movement, and was carrying flyers from the No Kings protests in his car—something suspicious happened.

The official story began to change.

Suddenly, mainstream media outlets like Reuters and Wikipedia were calling this “misinformation.” They blamed voices like Jack Posobiec and Mike Cernovich for “speculation,” and then quickly paired that word with “misinformation,” subtly persuading you to doubt your own memory. The label “Vance Boelter MAGA” was floated to obscure his political appointments. And claims of his “anti-LGBTQ activism”? Based on a single comment about “transgenderism” during a DRC nonprofit mission—hidden behind a New York Times paywall.

This, Lisec explains, is how misinformation is manufactured. It's not created through lies, but through omission, emotional priming, and repetition—a masterclass in persuasion techniques and narrative framing.

In this episode, Joshua Lisec shows you exactly how this deception is engineered:
• First, connect speculation with misinformation to discredit any challenge to the dominant narrative.
• Second, bury key facts behind paywalls to limit verification.
• Third, use institutions like the ADL to lend borrowed credibility and mask ideological agendas.
• Fourth, label lone political actors as “far-right extremists” using surface-level phrases like “transgenderism,” while ignoring their far-left affiliations or behavior.

As Lisec highlights, this is not just political spin—it’s textbook persuasion psychology, and a real-world example of how examples of persuasion in advertising and media messaging shape what people believe.

And if you're wondering how to persuade someone to do something in your own life—whether you're a parent, a writer, a business owner, or just someone trying to make sense of the world—this episode gives you persuasion examples and frameworks to decode propaganda and reclaim your clarity.

Lisec also takes a deep dive into the No Kings protests, unpacking how slogans like “No Kings” are only half the story. As he points out, what these movements really mean is “No Kings—But Ours.” They decry monarchy and hierarchy, but only so long as they don’t control it. And when chaos ensues—riots, violence, destruction—the very politicians who empowered it suddenly disappear or shift the blame.
