Umm Hello, anyone there at DU? I mean anyone with more brains then a pet gerbil. If I am not mistaken,if you are hypnotised then it follows that your ability to respond to a question is limited by the question asked. You don't go out in front of an audiance and act as if you have the answers to Einstiens Theory of Relitivity . You would need someone there right in front of you to get those answers to questions otherwise your going to look like the average DUmp member. I doubt that Gwen Ifill was the one able to do such a thing.
I also do noth think you can hypnotise anyone by saying "Your now the smartest Woman in the World.Go kick Bidens Ass". Idiots.
