Ranking 48 Laws of Power From Least to Most TOXIC (Summary)

0:00 this is the 48 Laws of Power it's one of the most criticized and controversial books in the world it teaches people how to manipulate others steal other people's work and girlfriends it's literally been banned in prisons because people were fearful of inmates freaking manipulating and killing each other because of the lessons that they learned in it and it's been quoted by the richest celebrities in the world today we're going to be ranking some of the laws in the 48 laws of power from you're good meaning these are essential laws that you should learn and it doesn't necessarily make you a bad person if you use them two pure evil you're literally a menace to society and you should be put down so let's begin law number one never outshine the master this is the law of kissing ass how I'd like to call it it basically teaches you how to use people who are higher than you and

0:45 get things out of them basically hundreds of years ago there was a country called France i don't know if you've heard of it but yeah and this country had a finance minister basically the guy who controls all the money so he pretty much steals a lot and his name was Nicholas Fauet i hope I don't get demonetized fuk anyways Fukquet was a pretty rich guy he had the building in Fortnite literally it was inspired by Fortnite his building it's called Chat Deva Vik it was an amazing palace and he got the most amazing architects to build it for him anyways when the prime minister of France died Fukquet wanted to take his position the prime minister is a powerful position it's pretty much the second person after the king but the only way he could get that position is by showing how amazing and cool he is so he threw the biggest party it was pretty much like project X but in the

1:33 17th century and he invited the highest nobility people and also he invited the king Louis the 14th who was king of France at the time he was the person in charge of everything and the goal is to make such an amazing party where Fukquet showcases how capable and rich and cool as [ __ ] he is and that way King Louis the 14th would give him the prime minister position so he had the best musicians fireworks he brought food from different countries it was the most exquisite thing you could ever be in the next day Fuket gets arrested for the charge of stealing from the treasury even though King Louis the 14th knew that Fukquet was taking money and it was approved by him he was still arrested simply because King Louis the 14th is a freaking crybaby his ego got hurt by how amazing the party was and how big Fukquet's mansion is and he was like why did Fortnite put

2:22 his mansion in their game and not my palace and he put Fukquet in solitary confinement for 20 years and he placed a different guy in charge of the money of the country and that guy threw the stupidest most boring parties and he funneled all the money from the treasury to King Louis the 14th pocket which he used that money to build an even better palace a more expensive one and he brought the same architects that made Fukquet's Fortnite building and he built for himself palace de Versailles so Fukquet thought that he was going to impress Louis the 14th enough to get the prime minister position but instead he triggered his insecurity and he got 20 years of prison and he died in prison because of that so the lesson is don't make the people who are higher than you in positions feel insecure and jealous there's so many examples of this in real life megan Fox got super famous because of Transformers 1 and 2 and then she got interviewed and in the interview she

3:10 said that Michael Bay the person who is directing the movies is the same as Hitler yeah she actually said that and she got fired immediately and didn't get casted as Transformers 3 we all know this story where an employee is working really hard in a company but their boss is feeling threatened by them and he doesn't want to get replaced so they always try to hide their accomplishments or claim their accomplishments to be theirs as humans we tend to empathize with those who are weaker than us when we get approached by someone who's always showing off who has all the things that we don't have we don't feel inclined to help them if we were approached by someone who seemed weak who was in a worse position than us then we'd be happy to share all our knowledge with them and we'd be personally invested in their situation this also aligns with the book How to Win Friends and Influence People where the author tells you to basically ask people for their opinion and their

3:55 help and that would actually make them feel more valuable if you have someone who's in a higher position than you and you feel like they're being insecure about you or threatened you can come to them and ask for advice and that's going to actually make them less weaponized against you there's also a second lesson from the story and it's the concept of evil eye and it's the idea of being careful of how you flaunt or show your wealth when you show to everyone how much money you're making or all the amazing possessions you have it attracts evil eye it attracts haters who might feel threatened and jealous by you it's the same as Fukquet showing how much money he has and his amazing Fortnite palace and instead of making people like him it made people insecure and jealous so the best way to thank someone for an opportunity that they gave you is by making them look better some of you guys know this but I'm an actor and I work in commercials and if I

4:41 get selected by a director my job is to make the director look good because he made the decision to bet on me when I'm on the shoot I don't show to the client if he has any inconsistencies i don't try to outshine him if you find that it's impossible for you to not be amazing I know I do it is best to avoid insecure people altogether if you can't help but be charismatic or attract attention try not to sit around with people who are going to be threatened by that so given this context of actually appreciating the person who's given you the opportunity I'll put this in that you're good rule number two never put too much trust in friends learn how to use enemies and this rule basically tells you that you are more likely to not be betrayed by enemies than by your friends it's pretty messed up here's the story in the 9th century there was something amazing

5:29 called the Byzantine Empire and it was ruled by one empress called Theodora and her lover because her husband died a long time ago but he had a son called Michael III and she was taking responsibility of him until he became older to rule so when he became older his uncle convinced Michael to banish his mom to a monastery and to kill her lover so after Michael did that he became somewhat alone his uncle just led the conspiracy against his mother and he was surrounded by people who wanted power and his position and he had no one to trust he was kind of looking for someone who doesn't have any incentive to take the throne one day when he was at the stables he was just riding a horse one other guy saved his life from a wild horse and that other guy is called Basilius he was just a normal guy without any royal blood who could never become a threat

6:16 to Michael III and because this guy saved his life Michael was like "You're now my best friend i will love you forever." But the problem is because this Basilius is a random guy who doesn't even know how to read michael couldn't even talk to him about intellectual things michael sent him to the best schools so he could get education and he actually made him counselor and he doubled his salary he gave him the best treatment anybody can ever have michael even forced his side chick the girl who he was in love with to marry Basilius so that Basilius could have a higher ranking because that girl was from a noble family one day Basilius told Michael that his uncle the one who convinced him to banish his mom to the monastery had evil plans or wanted to kill Michael so Michael was convinced and he actually agreed to having his uncle killed and in one day when Basilius and

7:02 Michael's uncle were racing Basilius actually 360 nocoped Michael's uncle to death and naturally Michael gave Basilius his uncle's position which was the leader of the army so I think you can see where this is going basilius had so much time and all the right conditions for him to become really close with the army and build nice relationships and when one day Michael asked Basilius for some money because he was spending so much he assumed that Basilius would be grateful but Basilius was actually super angry and the next day Michael woke up surrounded by soldiers and Basilius and they freaking stabbed him to death when you ask your friend to give you money and this is how they respond overreaction much basilius the next day went on a horse in the city with Michael's head on a pike advertising to everyone that he is now the emperor so Basilius pretty much went from being a

7:51 normal dude who doesn't even have royal blood or doesn't even know how to read to being the emperor of the Byzantine Empire simply because he gained the trust of Michael in general people want to believe that the reason they have the position that they have is because of the effort they put in not because of outside circumstances if a friend were to point out to us that the reason we have what we have is because of them it has a level of pity and condescension to it and it might actually grow resentment to that friend along the way there were so many red flags that Basilius showed but Michael ignored simply because he was his friend if Michael had put an enemy that had stated that they weren't an enemy anymore at least Michael would have kept his guard up the whole time he wouldn't have ignored all the red flags the enemy wouldn't have been able to betray him because Michael wouldn't have given him so much power so easily without questioning in this rule

8:38 you kind of see the continuation of rule number one if Louis the 14th hadn't ignored how rich and threatening Fukquet was if he had placed him as prime minister he might have taken more power and even replaced King Louis the 14th which is exactly what happened here now this is not to say that you shouldn't trust your friends at all and everybody is a shitty person with no morals and ungrateful it's more about being careful when you trust someone with lifealtering things when you start a business with a friend you shouldn't let go of all of your basic precautions simply because these people are your friends so I think it's good advice for people to be cautious in general but at the same time I don't think life necessarily works that way you can't go on assuming that everybody's going to betray you you have to assume good will in people i'm going to rate it as petty which is moderate it's not evil rule number three conceal your intentions so before Germany was

9:27 actually Germany it was pretty much made of 39 states dominated by a state called Prussia and another one called Austria in Prussia there was a important politician called Ottovan Bismar and he freaking hated Austria because he wanted to unite Germany and Austria didn't want that and this guy was an army guy he wanted war and he thought that the only way that these things can be solved is by blood and iron and he actually literally said that but the problem is the king of Prussia at the time didn't want war he liked Austria and he actually wanted peace with them and Bismar knew that Prussia's army right now is weaker than Austria and if they were to fight they would have lost so the guy who thinks that the only way they can solve these problems is by war and bloodshed made a public speech saying something like "We need to think about the innocent souls that are going

10:12 to be lost in this war we must find peace think about the people everybody on Prussia's side was shocked by his position." This guy made a speech the exact opposite of what he was thinking but that actually influenced the public opinion and Prussia ended up not going into war with Austria and the king himself promoted him because he saw him as a reasonable person who doesn't want war who wants peace and gave him more power and then years later when the time was right when Prussia's army was strong enough Bismar actually launched the war on Austria and they won and he managed to actually unite Germany and he made it the Germany that we know right now so if he had said the truth at the time in his speech if he had said that he likes war that he wanted to unite Germany that he hates Austria and he wants to freaking destroy it he would have alerted Austria and he wouldn't have been promoted by king he wouldn't have had a say in making the war against Austria and winning in

11:02 the end so he pretty much concealed his intentions to achieve his final goal i've been watching a lot of General Zero Hour gameplay and it's very interesting to see when there's multiple teams on the map how they conceal their intentions and their alliances they try as much as they can to not show who they're with or who they're against because they don't want to make enemies by showing their intentions of actually being hostile against a specific team there's always those incidents in business when people talk about their ideas and later on they found out that these ideas have been stolen and it would have been better if they shut the [ __ ] up instead of exposing everything they had if you tell your friend that you like a girl and you're planning to talk to her he might interfere with the process of you talking to her whether intentionally or unintentionally so it is always best to conceal your intentions to not say the things that you are doing before

11:49 you do them it's the same with goal setting even scientifically it's been proven you have a higher chance of achieving that goal if you don't talk about it because your brain pretty much gets tricked into thinking that you've actually started with a goal when you made the intention public that you're actually trying to reach that goal so in general the advice of conceal your intentions is very self-interest oriented you only care about yourself and you're trying not to mess up your plans but sometimes your friends might actually benefit of you saying your intentions i used to have friends more than 15 years ago who would hide from me that they've taken for example guitar learning lessons because they didn't want me to improve they wanted to improve on their own so that type of concealing your intentions is actually very evil so I'm going to put it in understandable have a nice day law number four always say less than necessary back to Louis

12:35 14th again he was pretty much called the sun king you know how the universe revolves around the sun well Louis the 14th thought the universe revolved around him which is why he called himself the sunk king nobles and ministers and the most important decision makers debated each other about how they will run the country and then they would come to Louis the 14th to tell them what they've come up with and instead of taking a side he would just say "I shall see." And then he would [ __ ] off no one knew what decision he made until he actually made it and they would actually see that reflected in the country and in his actions the reason he was perceived as the center of the universe is that his word had such important meaning they had so much value because the less you speak the more value your words have it's simple supply and demand you know that friend who always has something to say about everything whether it's accurate or not accurate that friend doesn't have

13:23 a lot of value to his words but when someone who doesn't speak a lot says something you know that you should take that into more consideration you should give that more attention it's the same with dating you know that meme of having a crush on someone until they freaking open their mouth and you start understanding how dumb you were because you idealized them the less you say the more you give space for people to project their aspirations on you it's the same reason why actors don't get a lot of benefits and actually might hurt their careers from having a social media presence and having a strong public opinion on things because when you start watching their characters you're unable to believe it because you are associating their public opinion and online persona to that character but when someone is anonymous you don't know how they think it's easier for you to believe the character talking a lot also implies insecurity the person who is secure doesn't need

14:10 to talk so much me and my friends were playing this game called Mafia there's basically one person who kills the others and one detective and I remember specifically there were two people one was innocent and the other was the killer and I knew for a fact who the killer was and when I asked the innocent guy he just replied with a couple of words he didn't have anything to hide but the overcompensation from the person who was the killer made it so clear that he was the killer and he just couldn't stop talking cuz he was overcompensating with the amounts of words he was saying it screamed insecurity so because this one doesn't really negatively affect other people in my opinion I'm going to put it in you're good law number five so much depends on reputation guard it with your life before China became one country it was divided to three kingdoms and the leader of one of these kingdoms called the Shu Kingdom not the actual Shoes but you know what

14:56 I'm saying is called Zu Lang now Zu Lang was a strategist he had a reputation for being smart and being 10 steps ahead of everybody and he intentionally built that reputation one enemy lieutenant came to him in the past and said that he wanted his help and the normal reaction would be for Juulang is to behead this guy because he's a deserter he left his country and came to the enemy but Zu Lang decided to recruit him and to basically make this lieutenant tell lies to the enemy and feed them false information but Zu Lang was in a very dangerous situation one day when he was in a city and he pretty much sent most of his troops to a different cab but another guy from one of the kingdoms called Simayi was coming with a huge army and he was going to freaking 360 no scope Jun Lang and his army juang had no solution whatsoever it's Jover for him but he did

15:45 something crazy he opened the gates of the city wide and he sat on one of the walls of the city and played loot and looked comfortable AF and had a couple of kids play by to show that everything is normal and when Simma Yi saw this he thought to himself "This is Ju Yang this is the best strategist the guy who everybody talks about the guy your girlfriend tells you not to worry about there's no way he's that comfortable this has to be a trap he's baiting me to go inside he's going to freaking rip pepperoni my army when we go inside." But in reality Ju Lang had nothing he just had his reputation so Simi decided to retreat and not take that city even though he had it 100% if he had gone inside and that's the power of reputation because Yu Lang has such an amazing reputation that he's one step ahead of everybody else just like Nicado Avocado he was able to win

16:31 that battle without any army without any soldiers and simply using the branding that he has we see these millionaires pay millions of dollars to build their reputation and branding elon Musk allegedly pays a guy to play video games in his account so he can seem more pro and relatable but it fails because it's ingenuine mark Zuckerberg is trying hard to rebrand to show a reputation of someone who's relatable who's like because it actually affects his business positively but it's also failing people are able to detect when things are ingenuine so when you try to display something that is not real about yourself people can always tell with your small interactions with the way that you express yourself there's no way that you can keep the act up the only way you can have a good reputation is by actually being a good person tell the truth when you don't do anything that you personally believe is bad you actually feel confident and you're able to

17:19 represent yourself you don't have a fear of being exposed and people could never find anything bad because you actually don't do anything bad another extra tip that you can learn from this we all have these friends or people in our lives who they always leak your secrets or your stories you tell them something personal to you and the next day you go to school and you find out that everybody in the school knows your secret you can actually use these people to spread things that you want people to know about yourself so this idea of artificially crafting your reputation sucks but the only way to care about your reputation is by actually being a good person you cannot control anything else so I'm going to put this in toxic law number six court attention at all costs this is something that anybody in the world can benefit from and make money from there was a guy called PT

18:04 Burnham and he was an assistant for a circus owner called Turner one day Burnham was walking around in a city wearing a black suit and he noticed that a lot of people were noticing him and looking weirdly at him and eventually they thought that he was a murderer that had escaped they knew that there was a murderer in town who always wore a black suit the only way Burnham was able to show that he is actually not the murderer and he's just a normal person is by going back to the circus and confirming his identity only to find out that Turner the owner of the circus spread the rumor intentionally and told people that the murderer wore a black suit he basically made up a story to make Burnham grab people's attention and bring people to the circus so the next day Burnham learned that lesson and he gave a homeless guy five bricks he told him to lay the bricks inspicuously on the side of the street without talking to anyone without explaining anything

18:57 and then when he was going back to pick the bricks again and go back into the circus when people saw him in the street they were like "What the freak is this guy doing?" They were super mesmerized by it they didn't know what was the reason for this and they actually had to pay for the circus ticket to go inside to unveil the thing that was being sheltered or masked because they wanted an explanation for this it was actually a museum not a circus but anyway the first day more than a thousand people were drawn to the museum with this tactic so what Burnham understood is that there's no type of bad attention even when critics would talk [ __ ] about him in the magazines he would welcome it and he would even write negative articles about himself simply because he still wanted to be the talk of the town regardless of whether or not it's negative or positive he wanted people to have an opinion because everybody knows that the only thing worse than people talking negatively about you is them not talking at all is them not caring about you at all and we

19:46 can literally see this in the modern world how certain people do specific things just to be the talk of the town it doesn't matter they will learn how to leverage the attention whether it's negative or positive they will say crazy things regardless of whether or not it's true or false simply because they want people to remember them to talk about them to elevate the attention that they're getting the best way for Miley Cyrus to get the attention that she was losing is by doing something crazy outlandish to rebrand herself to become the talk of the town she knew that being forgotten is worse than being criticized there are certain people in the world who use this strategy i was walking in the streets of Malaysia one day and I noticed something interesting the singers don't just sing they bring someone with them who does weird dance movements and looks funny they notice that if they put this guy that grabs people attention they actually double or maybe triple

20:35 how much people pay attention and listen to them so attention is always going to be an important currency if you want to be successful but at the same time don't have the mentality of the ends justify the needs you could have negative implications on society so I'm going to put it in understandable have a nice day get others to do the work for you but always take the credit okay I think you already know how toxic this is going to be so Tesla was a brilliant scientist and he worked at Edison's company edison told him "I'm going to give you $50,000 if you can fix my engine and make it better." Tesla was like "Holy [ __ ] I'm going to be rich." And he worked like 18 hours a day and he actually made a better version of Edison's dynamo the engine and when Tesla came to Edison and gave him that Edison was like "Buddy you don't understand our American humor because Tesla was European." He literally gave him a small raise and didn't

21:23 give him the 50,000 that he owed him so Tesla was like "Fuck this i'm out." And went to work in a different company owned by George Westinghouse now Westinghouse was kind of a competitor to Edison him and Tesla worked on something called the AC which is the alternative current system basically the alternative current system is what what we're using today and even though it was pretty much the creation of Tesla and he's the one who worked on it while Edison fought him and told people it was too dangerous and he even orchestrated fake accidents just to show that the AC current system is shitty Tesla managed to show how effective it was while he was working at George Westinghouse company but when it came to actually making money from it his name got lost in the shuffle and a lot of scientists started claiming different things and Westinghouse offered Tesla $200,000 instead of the 12 million that he was supposed to make from the royalties of

22:11 making the AC system that's so amazing that we are currently using right now and eventually everybody credited the AC system to Westinghouse instead of Tesla simply because Tesla didn't protect his rights so in the beginning Tesla made the dynamo so much better for Edison and Edison stole his rights and didn't even give him money and then Tesla came to Westinghouse and made the AC system and Westinghouse stole his money and the AC system wasn't even credit to him so this is one of the most brilliant scientists that didn't even get enough money or credit for their work simply because they didn't protect their right this is one of the laws that give the book the evil or bad name get others to do the work for you always take the credit this is written from Westinghouse and Edison's point of view it basically teaches you how to be an evil person in this situation i think a good lesson that could be learned from this is delegation youtubers always talk about

22:58 hiring editors or people that can do the work for you so that you can focus on more important things and when you're working in a team project it's always smart to keep in mind how much work you're putting in don't allow yourself to be undervalued or under represented in the end don't do what the book is saying directly to be lazy and let other people work and then claim their work that's not something a moral person would do and that's not good for your reputation so this law is going to be the first one to get the pure evil rank make other people come to you use bait if necessary this is actually so OP how you can literally use people's own power against themselves so Napoleon Bonapart had a big empire but eventually he was defeated and he was sent to an island in Italy called Elba and he was pretty much made emperor there but it was pretty much pathetic compared

23:47 to his old empire he had such a big empire and now he's just the king of a small island i mean I'd be happy with a shitty smile island but I'm not Napoleon Bonapart anyways in the Congress of Vienna they wanted to split Napoleon's empire but everybody was super nervous because Napoleon is still close and he can still escape and if he escaped it's going to be a huge issue the Russian Zar was pretty angry because they didn't give him a part of Napoleon's empire that he wanted and he said "Beware I should unleash the monster." So he pretty much threatened them with unleashing Napoleon but the only person that wasn't nervous that was actually super calm is Napoleon's old foreign minister Taland taland didn't like that Napoleon was in Elba he knew that he was too close and he told the Vienna Congress "This guy is too close and it's so easy for him to escape

24:32 this is not a good decision you guys should send him far far away." But nobody listened to him so Talan knew that the only way he would be able to get what he wanted is to use Napoleon's ego against him so he went to Napoleon and he told him how much France loved him and how much it would welcome him if he tried to escape and he went to the British generals and he convinced them to let the ships that were surrounding the Elba island that Napoleon was in to turn a blind eye when Napoleon tries to escape he convinced the generals to actually let one of the ships that had 900 people on it escape with Napoleon on it back to France so he pretty much lured Napoleon back to France napoleon came to France and he was welcomed by everyone it was crazy the old king actually escaped and even the army that was supposed to capture Napoleon actually welcomed

25:17 him and Napoleon ruled France again for like a hundred years but then because of circumstances the country became super poor they didn't have a lot of money coming in and Napoleon was actually later defeated by Europe so instead of Taland the old foreign minister trying to kill Napoleon for example and making him a legend and making France unified against the Europeans he actually baited him using his own ego he told him France would welcome him and he facilitated his escape just so he can be crushed again but this time instead of being sent to Elba a close island he was sent to the coast of South Africa in an island called Helena that's far away so he eventually got what he wanted without doing anything only using bait and utilizing the enemy's ego against himself so this is all about letting things come to you instead of chasing things when it comes to attracting people romantically there's a saying that if you try to chase butterflies you'll end up

26:08 catching none but if you take care of the garden the butterflies will come on their own it's like if you take care of yourself automatically you're going to attract people and it's the same with business and work if you build a really nice portfolio and display it people are going to be attracted to that instead of you trying to convince them and and chasing them when you're in a relationship and you break up instead of chasing that person you should work on yourself and let that person consider coming back because of feeling of regret you're basically inviting them back into your frame you're not leaving your frame to chase people you're good win through your actions never through argument this is another controversial one that I don't necessarily agree with completely when Michelangelo was working on the statue of David the mayor of Florence came to Michelangelo and when he saw the statue he was like "This guy's nose looks too big can you

26:54 adjust it?" But Michelangelo knew that his work was amazing already and that the only reason the mayor saw that the nose was big is was because he was looking at it from down under but instead of explaining that to the mayor and maybe offending his ego especially if there were people there he actually secretly grabbed a small piece of stone and some dust and went up with the mayor to the statue and acted as if he was adjusting the nose and sprinkled the dust to show that he actually adjusted the nose when he actually didn't touch it at all and now he made sure that he was looking at it from the right position and the mayor was impressed he said that the nose looked a lot better now so he got what he wanted which is not to change the statue that he thought was already perfect but he also satisfied the mayor's ego i don't personally like this law because I do feel that it's manipulative i used to direct commercials before I got into YouTube and I

27:41 used to have a lot of arguments with clients who wanted specific things that I knew were bad for the project and eventually I would have to lower the quality of my work because the client asked me to and this is actually one of the bigger reasons why I left directing for clients and I moved more into YouTube because here there's nobody that I answer to that can affect the quality of my work i don't want to have to fool people to convince them that I've changed things when I actually haven't but I love the idea of action versus words you can try to convince someone for 100 years by talking to them but it's no comparison to actually being a good person you can brag so much to your friend about how many girls you talk to and have so many stories but it's not going to have the same effect of you actually being seen with girls and showing your charisma instead of talking about it it's a superficial example but yeah I think actions over talking is a

28:31 good thing but at the same time if you're going to be manipulative same as Michelangelo did with the mayor I think that is morally questionable so I'm going to put it in petty AF rule number 10 infection avoid the unhappy and unlucky i personally think this is one of the most important rules there used to be a girl called Mary Gilbert and she called herself Lola Montes she migrated to Paris and she started dancing there as a career but eventually she became a cortisant basically a prostitute and she was actually one of the most successful prostitutes in France at the time but she wanted to enhance her dancing career and she knew that one guy could help her his name was Alexander Dejier and he was the owner of the biggest newspaper at the time and she knew that he likes horse riding so she orchestrated meeting him and charmed him and by the way she was a great seducer and she was mentioned in the art of seduction by Robert Green the same writer

29:21 of this book anyways she was actually able to revive her dancing career using Alexander and even though she was a known cortisone and it wasn't very respectable and Alexander was actually respectable and had a high position he actually talked about her publicly and told people that he was going to marry her even though she hadn't told him that she was already married to a British guy and she didn't get a divorce anyways because of this people started looking negatively at him i mean he's literally being a s and she was pretty toxic as well they would fight a lot and in one night he was invited to a party and he didn't take her and he had an argument with a guy because he was drunk and presumably this guy talked [ __ ] about his prostitute girlfriend and ended up challenging Alexander for a duel like a gun duel the guy he challenged was Jean Baptiste Rosalon sorry I'm working out my French and this guy was the best gun handler and duelist in France

30:12 at the time so it's safe to say that Alexander was 360 no scoped lola his prostitute wife left Paris and went to Munich and in Munich she knew that it would be beneficial for her to actually be with King Lewig who was the king at the time so she orchestrated an accident and landed at the feet of his adviser and when she used her charisma to get this guy to introduce her to Lewig she heard Lewick from behind the door saying he doesn't have time to be introduced to random people she barged into the room with her dress torn and her boobs showing i am not making this up and Lwick the guy who didn't want to meet random people the next day put Lola on the Bavarian stage and the same story of the old guy repeated now with Lewig he brought her gifts and gave her money and he was in his own words bewitched by her she got complete control over

31:01 him he bought her an expensive apartment in a very nice street she became rich and famous because of Lewig but eventually her ego got too big her dogs would attack people and instead of apologizing she would literally whip the people with a leash by association she gave Lewig bad reputation but the dumb guy was such a simp that he'd fire anyone who was talking [ __ ] about her he even made her the countest and she advised him on policy that's something big especially for a side chick but eventually riots broke out and people were chanting Rouse meet Lola which means out with Lola so because of the pressure Lwig was forced to kick her out and he actually had to resign from being a king all because of this freaking girl that's the best way I can say it he spent the rest of his life obsessed with her and collecting her pictures meanwhile she moved to England and started dating

31:47 a different guy called George Heield and this guy was an army officer and after they started dating one day in England Lola was arrested for begamy it's when you have a husband that you haven't divorced and you're trying to be in a relationship with a different guy and she convinced George to escape together to Spain and because she was toxic as [ __ ] they were having an argument probably because George was looking at a girl even though Lola has like a thousand body count but whatever okay sorry that was misogynistic and Lola actually slashed George with a knife he didn't die but that was the end of it and when George came back to England he was pretty much hated by everybody that used to respect him because of what he did he fled with a prostitute and left his army so he actually moved to Portugal and lived in poverty and died like three months later on a boat so what does Lola do she moves to California and talks to a new guy called Patrick Hall coincidentally

32:37 he was also an editor in a newspaper and he could help her in her dancing career but they actually fought because she literally cheated on him and left him for another man and Patrick actually drank himself to depression and died 4 years later and after all these things at 41 years old Lola turned to God she toured America lecturing about religious topics so the first guy Alexander died in a duel king Lewig lost his kingdom because of her george lost his military career and later his life and Patrick got cheated on and turned to alcoholism and died because of depression so there are certain people in life that are contagious in terms of negativity you think by being close to them that they'll actually change but actually they are making your life negative and they will only bring you bad things you know how there's always these people who tell you their
