michael deaver michael deaver that's right it was always about putting reagan in there in front of a rising sun any made in hollywood he hollywoodized this whole political process remember the greatest political ad about the threat of nuclear war was under i think goldwater goldwater and then then johnson ran that ad right john said that with the kid been the daisy the kid in the days of political advertising right and then a quick george bush willing or going through the revolving door that's right as was black crime is going to ask ok that's pretty straightforward but with temping the fraud or these other means like where is this going like people are getting triggered because what's happening is that they're taking cartoon characters and they're associating them with the wrong think this thing pepe the frog it's so easy to draw it's so easy to replicate it's so easy to take your context and and put your copy on top of it that it winds up becoming this incredibly powerful thing is donald trump a troll i think the saturday night live sorts really underestimate they think he's

a bimbo and that he's stupid does he know what he's doing is he a troll is he intentionally whipping them up to look like these crazy outraced people scott adams calls donald trump a master persuader and i think that's a great term you know donald trump when he was a kid his church was norman vincent peale church who wrote the power of positive thinking and norman vincent peale was accused of being a hypnotist and if you know anything about hypnotism which i've learned from scott adams is that it's all about focus it's all about where you get people to pay attention you can control that stuff and what donald trump understands which nobody in the media and scott's written a book about me talks about it on periscopes five days a week is that when donald trump tweets something outrageous about something i don't care what it's about what he does is he gets everybody's attention focused on that thing and while the media is going crazy describing about what words he used ok or what improper. pronoun he used in order to describe something where donald

trump has done which is genius is he has gotten everybody to look at this problem ok and he does he ease going to take the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in order to get everybody to pay attention to the things that he wants them to pay attention to was you know it doesn't was a great analogy was the work of a magician and they called mr action correct so david copperfield can make this dot your liberty disappear through mr action and similarly in the mind reading accident hypnotism acts it's a matter of just adjusting that focus so we are saying is that trump is a master at this scott adams identifies that calls at the art of persuasion there's also a little touch of what's known as neurolinguistic programming and there are a n.l.p. which is how to fake empathy essentially and you put that all together was a guy who makes is bones in the television business reality t.v. business plus the casino industry which is all about making people feel great about

losing money and you've got a very powerful political power. that's pretty amazing driving los angeles all the way up to central valley and it has so far we've seen the whole hollywood industry and we get agricultural site there we go. and now we're heading out to the tech sector and you see visibly

while you're driving why california is the fifth largest economy in the world has its own look these are well brings the donkeys so it is you think of our photo shoot with peter did a photo shoot with peter to it was really good because peter to has found himself on the front line of i mean more. a cultural background of high fashion photography understands image so the transition to me and creating means understanding me. because he brings a lot to it i mean that has become very powerful in a way that i don't necessarily understand and i'm trying to understand and that's that not player controlled character that m.p.c. that great week carrots are and what the athletes are responding to it is neo liberalism has been great for the member they always say it's beyond our control

the contract says there's that algorithm says that as if it was written by some mysterious force that somehow handed all this wealth and power to the top point one percent desire stannis me this represents kind of the model hosts of the non-thinking media types of individuals who. get their entire. it's like troll basis and their arguments are just downloaded from central command and they have no cause of their own but they just repeat whatever they're told so in montclair a character in a game there's this program to help the game move forward but they themselves are not playing the game. so like rachel maddow for example she just downloads whatever it is told by her some very or to say. she says that but she is not up. why or she

has no control for the will around in the game to do anything i think that she really believes that she is expressing her. own and individual all kind of. view of things that's not just she's just not repeating the talking points damage to her by comcast you know the ultimate corporate overlord in this case and then so that she reacts she reacts quite harshly to it like how dare you suggest that i'm not a player in this game that i'm just repeating talking points and she backs out she gets aggressive about it you know and then in the meeting takes a life of its own because it's completely unearthed it's just completely non distinguishable and yet these people are reacting to it violently like hillary reacting to pepe the frog it's you know she gave it meaning if hillary has said nothing it would have never been talked about because there's nothing there donald trump is like have been the froggies n.p.c. character that is jumped out of the television and taking control of the story line

and then now they can't stop and that's right people react in a triggered manner to certain words and phrases and they don't really think specially hyper connected hyper social media because the idea is you don't you know just want to scream fire in a movie theater if it falsely and yet all that all it all media political talk about is just screaming fire in a crowded movie theater and everyone just reacting kind of way so the meanness and the labels are more real. than the actual identity of the person because they hit the unconscious subconscious love you bypassing the reason you're just going to fight or flight that's what scott adams says is the. trump is a master of persuasion and persuasion is communicating on a subconscious unconscious level. and that's what he's been good at and that's the basis of his success as peter two told us that scott. adams explains it as it's

hypnotism it's all about focus and it's about focusing on that thing that led me that frog that so called racist frog and hilary fell for it she she pointed to the races frog and me that an ad about it and that was the moment that the entire twenty sixteen election for me jumps the shark is planned hillary responded to this race is frog what the race is frog which is the cartoon that is at and basically it's an n.p.c. right it's gone player controlled the frog does and the frog is an inanimate object on the page. not exactly a sure bet a is that n.p.c. that i think have a has free will really is old cartoon world is a star i believe it is. i believe although i'm. not familiar with that base were previous to being me to name a five i understand he had a life yes

a cartoon world before becoming a celebrated me but i was unfamiliar with the former. lead to find out some tough tough and top of the tower while encouraging the serious wine country. to disclose where he always wanted to. make you want to be is yes try a friend. you notice the seeds. very large seeds very thick skins for your flavor to your trans and acids come from both of those things. moving as you want to sugars to be high enough none of these groups that much over it now i have a question and it relates to truck because on one hand he is a trade war and on the other he's trying to build a wall along the southern border. we have

a lot of migrant workers both for taking the grapes hopefully and on the other side we have the trade wars and the chinese are big investors and vineyards we know from france living in france is this impacting you not yet. i know that the agricultural landscape of california say the valley areas are big and row crop and i kind of thing made a lot of labor. vineyards and not quite the same and especially wineries them selves the production facilities those are all full time all year long jobs so it was you don't have workers. i haven't heard of any vineyards having labor issues in this area it doesn't mean it hasn't happened south or north of the finance trace and as far as the tariffs go i think if you continue to say no politician by any means. we'll probably see some templates going up like glass for.

cardboard products or something you know anything that's somewhat globalised basically so many different nations contribute to your product right here in california and i would say at least five to six and you know one for one product but you mentioned your romantic and this is a very hands on family business and but the basic resources the glass is getting expensive the cork is getting scarce i mean do you find yourself as just a sunset of a certain style lifestyle here in northern california we haven't seen it here. and i'll speak low cost be to so where i live and work. i have not seen any of that come to in fact tourism is on the rise in the central coast they're building homes left and right but you know the expansion growth of tourism in this county alone. i see no slowing at all well it's well past mine o'clock because the sun is go. we

don't ever go let's go run. you're. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only basically i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will

be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. desperate for a single purpose. of a superman. to start training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives. as a spy you have to really split your own personality into two you don't is that committed to harvest that was still alive within me and then that is the person who wanted to counter everything they want to do and then trying to dismantle everything they were doing. so you have to really become a good doctor

a note of the book to love for love you have to follow your own family in order to hold up. a partner give me a shot of five. a particular dog as a kid. got a great feeling to know that the flavor profile of this will be a big chianti wine what's nice about since they've here with their great standalone wine they'll go with possible go with hamburgers or to go to ny state they go with max white jack get a taste of the jam in a song but this is the straightest you see this is described as jam this is one where when you were to jump the queue thanks chris just because you loved me major is easier. just because i need coffee is the

problem well yeah i'm so so the show is what it is they're like caffeine anonymous like because i'm addicted to caffeine and i'm not ashamed to admit it. i've got to have it every day otherwise there should be you know they have everything else for the. most people. you know they should i one for caffeine. hope but. how constantine oh we're going to be two minutes early. we're going backwards in time i knew this would happen and there's failings almost forty seconds ago i'm having to look out. this because we haven't had any caffeine you know it's five in the morning somewhere. there was trouble. with cows on the edges in the fall and the mention of the bells becomes a thriving. it's

great seeing you again in our in this journey amber as behind us then we're going east into the swamp land that is the origin of america and st augustine florida i would conditions like new york geography there you know this wants of america and the middle of america and everything else that's actually is a hardworking part of america which holds the future with and conversely there is some full speech of that is happening right here on the west coast and others the so-called future of this economic miracle of the disruptive technologies the silicon valley and the rest of that i would venture to say that that is actually is a pasta and it's a pasta which is already not about to become a post you're not buying into that destructive apps that are going to change the world forever and will seem to have us a negative view on this constant thing not only i do not buy into it but i treat them as a symptom of what's wrong with our economic development model in general so if you go back and look at how california became the largest the corner me those

fundamentals the supply of the resources natural resources such as beauty such as land such as ability to attract people into this they such as demands from people commenting from the world war two and on words that supply side of the economy is no longer there instead what we're having is a junior at the chronic society increasing no one in the democratic this is a chronic and then do you see in other words it's become an older is becoming more of what he thought i am and safe haven here take months or a peninsula fantastic not truly beautiful environment you would expect this to be a home for a lot of interpret nor should that in the economy and so forth none of that this happening because the young people are leaving this area because they can look at the board meeting and so forth that the resource base which allowed california to develop in one thousand fifty's sixty's seventy's and when they choose is gone well so now have another side of the equation in addition to the concentration of power in the hands of the likes of the silicon valley the money up of these ation well so have only group of these ation in other words and money. upson hughes ation ok in

other words the hiring of talent the human capital that those companies are doing is being done on contingent contracts which provide no security no on the job training no continuing to give you kind of the give birth is exactly how much of the economy can sustain million dollar plus homes and for the future i don't think a lot i say i mean to me it is actually is top heavy the economy is extremely little penny and anything like that is going to be more concentrated and of course that will roll over and when the rolls over what's really then matters is. the resources can you throw into this rollover to sustain of them supported demographics in that we're not demographically anywhere in terms of actually getting younger we also now cutting off the inflow of dollars from outside of the united states aggressively and doximity both through policy and through the cultural changes and out to you as well look at the border wall is not just the impact in the day walkers and seasonal workers in the agricultural communities it's impacting the engineers in latin america its impact in the engineers in the india

not constance in an economist but it seems that we live in an age now where the financial literacy is at an extreme so what you talk about is could also be viewed as common sense in a lot of ways and our sense informs a lot of economics on but that common sense seems to be devoid and missing but in extremis because a certain propensity in the media to push some false narrative about the economy of course you are russian you've come from russia and you come from a country that lived under a false narrative for many years is there any comparisons that can be made there is in parallels to the level of disconnection between the narrative and the reality that you see in day to day and particularly in the media in the united states is proby most closely resembling to me of my old home country of the soviet union i was yesterday. joke in there have seriously that if you want to see the degree of

the tyrant control within any country that the state is either exhorting or trying to exhort you look at the interest in data flows in information and we know this is not the had conspiracy theory in any way shape or form that here in this country today the data flows effectively either controlled all morning but certainly aggregated what about the oligarchies we see with the ordinary person is doing is they're voting for somebody like trump will smash the system what happens to them and how should they respond to these trump voters mostly they're saying like don't ever talk to them deep platform them silence them cut them off all social media like shame them show up wherever they're eating at a restaurant and kick them out that that of an approach of trying to silence the voices of discontent is their approach and that say mensheviks have adopted in the in the russia back in the around nine hundred sixteen nineteen seventeen we know

where that led ok the more you suppress the dissent the more you suppress the popular anger the more you are likely to pound it up and push it into more extreme directions this is again not new this has been happening for example in the us media and pull it is a sion of the us media during the one thousand nine hundred before the onset of the internet the competitive forces created the great the politicization and the first in print and then of course the introduction of the t.v. cable news and the rest of it started to even father polarizing and so they deal that you can somehow control the distribution of information and by doing so a fact that the desired outcome whether it's by all the dark you know by social engineers doesn't really matter doesn't work so we've seen as a great proof of that so as a result of that what you really need to adopt is you need to adopt the policies and and develop the institutions and the reforms which start integrating the posen views into the process so if you want to build robots the u.s. political system you need to recognize that those who are currently exclude and.

the undesirables were deplorable the whichever way you want to call them i actually organic new voters in the united states they need to be brought back in they need to be and everything understand why that person gets a vote so why don't you talk to them and find out why they're going to vote that way maybe talk sense and smell the new person contains a piece of information which is more than relevant actually people than important to every policy make and decision maker because it signals to you where the problems are i think it's because they political parties are gonna customs and the idea that they can control of using media mass media they don't need to talk to people and get votes locally on the ground trump election shows that that was a false narrative and now like the opposition the democrats are scrambling because i remember actually talk to anybody and that's interested in because now they're finding that they can't actually talk to anybody because they have a dog and they're very awkward absolutely so you have a job and you work and if i was like who are you you then they were as me all of the sixteen presidential campaign where hillary rodham clinton had fantastic set of

well developed bowls of proposals address and pretty much every major issue they won't publish on her website but she could never communicate them herself because she's never communicated anything from the technocrats we develop all this is down to ordinary people level in her life and as a result of that that was very clearly shown to us on the twenty sixth in the election that trumps simplistic oversimplified distil to their quintessence proposals that he's now implementing as he promised to implement how that actually is the rock of the great accord with people maybe not because they believe that that was the right way but that was the only way given to them where does the system go from here is there in a way our we backed into a corner how do we get out i think well backed into the corner simply because of the combination of the demographic factors that can alter that i mentioned before this so-called cycle is the nation's thesis and those the last decade of absolutely excessive money print and and deficit finance and. which all went to fund the acid

bubbles that we're witnessing today in a way i believe that we are currently on the cost of a bigger crisis than we experienced in two thousand and seven two thousand and eight how you go from that disruption level it's too late at that stage to start town hall meetings it's too late to try to talk to folks because the folks are running for their pitchforks so in that sense it's a very big question how does the does this disruption help with we don't have a catalyst in terms of the political leadership which can take this momentum and drive it into ideological direction like in one thousand seven hundred was in the national yes what we do have is we have a strong man in the white house and we have now the proof of concept of how the strong man can be a woman can be put into the white house once all over again that is the territory where west started to kind of be hops unfortunately speaking the likes of easily during the period of the nineteenth twenty's and early thirty's where there was political vacuum where the political ideologies wore completely divorced from the

rest of the people and the momentum was opened in the space was opened for a demagogue to come in and take over this comparison with them are less county and triumph because berlusconi very famously as huge in the media and i will phone in the media with the buffoonery of the italian media in following that and leading the country and then go from berlusconi of the current the movement which is the largest movement and then to the now he's also started from effectively people who have been both in the media in fact to from you know political from a comic directly ok so that's a very interesting analogy because these dynamics happen very fast the unique why is speed of change speed volume of disruption and depth of disruption of a crisis and at the same time the lock of the existant start to squawk powers to capture the electorate it's in the way a kind of slightly more than eyes version of lenin's revolution or station i will even through that here in the united states it is a scary thought. because if you think about that back in one thousand seventeen

russia the darkest russia did not have nuclear weapons it did not have some one hundred ten billion dollar expand the challenge really on the biggest military in the world and the constant saying you're so knowledgeable so articulate and kidnap you money thank you went to us and then in the truck. how would you feel about that well i always love traveling the throne the west simply because the west there is water. great idea eminently sensible well tell other words guns oh my pleasure mark. belling.

you know world of big partisan blogs and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. join me every thursday on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business. i'll see of.

u.s. veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either there already is several generations of them so i just got this memo from the circulating branches off that says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war surely we can risk some discomfort or and easiness for peace. if you are always telling us oh we can't have everything at the same time we can't have peace and democracy blah blah blah in

a costco think situation oh i know war situation that's not true is that instead of telling people what you can't have everything and then failing to deliver on that everything we should be fabric here and say ok you can't have cheese like some kind of peace you can have some kind of democracy you can have some kind of justice in the short term but unfortunately we cannot feel everything at the same time so someone has to make a choice. or when they came back from a. war. anything that soldiering trying to get us out of. that their. use of the camera there would be so. i want to be drinking and drinking. just. killing myself by drinking alcohol links drink to get drunk alcoholics drink

to feel normal. that's why i call it's this way drug addicts do. a shot while surfing and their. star cool under which these guys are blowing through to it it just means to. need to be helped and not good pushed on by the v.a. as far as drugs go and stuff they need to be helped. and they just really should be looked at like numbers they should be looked at like people if they go to a veteran center for health issues be considered as someone who really needs attention. from season nine successive weekend the best test the thousands of demonstrators.
