the pre- freud acolytes applied some early ideas of psycho analysis including hip -- hypnotism but freud had not made an impact on the united states, it was only in the post war period that they applied freud's ideas to world war one and he shaped the response to world war two. >> we can take two more questions. >> can the identify the differences between the screening done in world war one versus world war two before they enlisted. >> the screenings in world war two were influenced more by freud, they were asked, while the screening of world war one was centered on, where you were from, this idea that your background shaped your mental health and your parents, this was formed by the eugenics movement of the day, by world war two with the influence of psycho analysis you saw questions along the lines of how was your relationship with your mother, how well did you get along with the other boys at school. they interviewed soldiers to understand who were these men from a young age going forward. there were deep questions about scwalt and home oa sexual -- sexuality and homosexual behavior.

of the past, and you wouldn't brand environmentalism — which is what most people believe in, from freudernance like the soviet union or north korea or mao. so i don't think it is as much of a problem as you might think, at least among the lay public now. isn't there something deadening and maybe even worrying about your explanation of who we are because, in so many ways, it challenges fundamental sort of aspirations and ambitions we have for ourselves as human beings, notions of betterment. i mean, you in an interesting paragraph which i have written down, you talk about common aphorisms, particularly in the west, things like, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again". or the famous us army phrase, "be all that you can be". and you take these phrases and you say, you know what? — i'm paraphrasing — you know what, they're rubbish. they are actually dangerous to us because they give us an idea of how we can change ourselves that is not true. another one of those is "anyone can be president" and, given the current situation, you'd think that might be true but that ends with a quote f

reaction on the equity market on the stock markets here in france for today is not really shocking freude it's more that people in the markets are bit more confident you know the chief of the german american chamber of commerce we just heard about the relationship between at least europe and the united states with the democrats coming to coming back into power in the house of representatives hopes are rising here that you know the tone between the americans and at least the europeans might become a bit more conciliatory and also people here are continuously confident about the u.s. economy the democrats in the house will do nothing to really muffle or significantly slow down the economy in the u.s. on the contrary it's likely that they will seek some sort of cooperation with the trump administration at least in some fields like. infrastructure bill not a big one like trump has promised but at still something to keep the economy in the u.s. going what about u.s. government debt something the americans never seem worried about. that's true but people in the financial markets have been quite

association had never had a presentation on siblings because they gets people is an only child including freud with his seven brothers and sisters. so that was a very interesting thing too. in my practice became very much about siblings who had never realized how important was that they grew up, one writer with a sister who had no hands. i've seen everything. >> host: okay. you mention that you're married to a writer. who is your husband? who has been on booktv. >> guest: my husband is a fiction booktv and loves it. i've been jealous. it's richard burr kaiser. he senior editor of national review, the youngest senior editor of the national view ever had. by the time i married when he was 25 and i was 33, he committed himself to be historian. he doesn't have a phd which makes them i think much more open-minded than he would if he had one. he began writing, i think about his first book for we were married. he would make a list of books and say what you think? the rest is history. he's on number 13. >> host: that's coming out this fall. john marshall. >> guest: we read every word to each other. it

association had never had a presentation on siblings because i guess everybody is a only child including freud with 7 brothers and sisters. then my practice became very much about siblings who had never realized how important it was as they grow up. one writer with sisters said i've seen everything. so that was number 3. >> doctor safer, youmentioned you are married to a writer . who has been on book tv. >> my husband is a fixture of book tv and loves it and i've been jealous. it's richard brooke kyser, senior editor of not national review, youngest senior editor the national review ever had. i married him when he was 25 and i was 33. >> and he's a historian. >> he created himself to be a historian, he doesn't have a phd which makes them much more open-minded and he would be if he had one and he began writing, i think he wrote his 1st book before we were married and he would make a list of books and say of course you'd add george washington . he's on number 13. >> and that's coming out this fall, john marshall. >> and we read every word to each other. it's also very nice to live with an outsta

fast forward to freud where the day has changed. the weather has not. the ridge doesn't move. weather doesn't change. pacific northwest keeps the rainfall. we will keep the sunshine. eventually we're going to need to get some rainfall in here. livermore 80. election day. 75. 17 in oakland. 74 in san jose. 69 in san francisco. the forecast. yes, it is sunshine across the board through the weekend past veteran's day. past election day. low 60s at the cost with sunshine and low fog. that is your forecast. we'll be right back. four years ago, we rejected marshall tuck and his billionaire backers for superintendent of public instruction. but they're back. the corporate billionaires and their handpicked candidate, former wall street banker marshall tuck. tuck's billionaires have spent over $25 million distorting tony thurmond's outstanding record on education. all because they know tuck shares their agenda: diverting funds from our public schools into their corporate charter schools. the same agenda as trump and betsy devos. protect our public schools. say no, again, to marshall tuc

because i guess everybody's on only child including freud with his seven brothers and sisters. [laughter] anyway, so that was a very interesting thing to do. and then my practice became very much about siblings who had never realized how important it was that they grew up, you know, one writer with a sister who had no hands. i've seen everything. that was number three. >> host: well, dr. safer, you mentioned that you're married to a writer. >> guest: yes,sing i am. -- yes, i am. >> host: who is your husband, who has been on booktv. >> guest: my husband is richard brookhiser, senior editor of national review. he is the youngest senior editor that national review ever had. by time -- i married him when i was 25, and i was 33 -- >> host: and he's a historian. >> guest: he created himself to be a historian, actually, he doesn't have a ph.d.. which makes him, i think, i money more open-minded -- [laughter] he began writing, i think he wrote his first book before we were married, and then he would make a list of books, and he'd say what do you think here? you should add george washin

notion of trade on acquiring to choice in a market plot and i think that's a very limited idea of what freud i'm actually is and the not sure of the now liberal project is that it commodifies things that probably shouldn't because commodified or hadn't traditionally bank modified so everything from education to child care that sort of thing so you end up with you know they're no longer describe to students they're described as customers or as cloth. and that sort of thing and so it's an individual his own that's very much to find within market and i should have this i there's a lot of joy in this book because the joys in fact the last chapter but there's also obviously a lot of sadness to the graeme felt our inquiry is going on here into the worst how a book fire since since the blitz you you talk about it as an example in the context of david cameron former british prime minister telling the u.k. he would kill off the quote from and kill off health and safety culture for good take us through that it's an incredible what is not only not you know you hear it in the context in which he said it

how you live with it is a key feature of emotional stability the lack of it and these according to freud leads to neurosis i wonder if we if this is where we are at the neurotic stage or has it gone further to let's say paranoia well we. don't know it's we have this uncertainty which is structural and the key a lot of sort of these you characterise everybody playing the game but we also have this misplaced certainty certainty about something that we actually know very little but we take for granted like you know like we're like you know i met a guy i'm going to leave believes that russia has a malign idea to elect american but as a. well and and in the same fashion i think russians many russians it's leave believe that americans are out to get it and to put russia on its knees whenever there the opportunity arises like the mossad to the medic and also he is being reduced to going to war and the loss of for something that somebody who didn't is the most slaves of the west which is like a mirror image of one another now since you mention some authors let me bring up another joseph heller t

and when i thought about that is in a freud wrote a book on the ego.and she has a chapter with the intellectualization of puberty. they are capable often of these feats in intellectual achievements. you can all remember. we could do equations of things. all sorts of stuff. she wrote this chapter. they make the kind of until is a -- with the kind that they have with all kinds of powerful instincts. the only time in the book where i use that. it gives you a sense that there is more going on people than we think. that's essentially true of the autobiography. let's get to the crucial question would you say he was destined to be a revolutionary. was he by nature a radical or do you think he was in many ways a conservative? >> there was no reason for him to be a radical really. during the earlier time in the 1720s and 30s. the most powerful people shared his views and beliefs. they were commended to low taxation the taxes were very low in pennsylvania because there was no militia. they were committed to allowing immigration. they wanted to get that territory

to address taboos and invite social discourse and she looks great merit is that along with sigmund freud both incidentally from vienna he brought the sexuality of children in adolescence up out of the subconscious and depicted it for all to see. in one hundred ten she wrote to his friend anton pashka. to leave vienna very soon everyone envies me and conspires against me the city is black and everything follows rules i want to be alone i want to go to the b. he me and forest he was yearning for a place called kumo is the daughter stone shayna referred to it has the devastating and in fact it was. the german population had been expelled and young czechs didn't want to live in the old town center they'd built new houses on the outskirts. is the town was entirely empty cancer roamed the streets and it was just one house that was fit to serve as accommodation everything else was barricaded there were trees growing from attics the town was dead. i see the dead city as a key painting to understanding all his unreal ideas and thoughts. it appears dream like as if the town were rising up from a r

male female that was not even clear to she nega freud of the austrian national team after puberty his breasts did not grow and his menstruation did not begin. given to them and the worst looks were those of the men oppositely so i never wanted to become a man because they insulted me how can you now take on the other side of the sex constantly it's stuff donna said that it is basically that. in all to ninety sixty seven all runners of the s.b. the austrian ski association would check my means of a chromosome test the result erica was genetically clearly a man according to the v. wanted to persuade him to change his gender to a woman but above all the u.s.b. did not want to be deprived of the gold medal. visit that. and then if you speak at the ground had been pulled out from under my feelings but i knew that only in sport i was some that i was acknowledged otherwise i was a juxtaposition the one they smiled at pointing fingers asking are you a man or a woman saying five b.c. it's amanda who have every. against the resistance of the family on the national ski association every country

hold it right there window seat freud!'t know better, i'd say your lack of affection as a child makes you lash out at celebrities in in-flight magazines. ( laughter and applause ) and there is more... for some reason: "she has been subconsciously seeking attention and care from a male figure, but, unfortunately, things do not always go as planned, and she has not yet succeeded in any relationship for various reasons." ( audience reacts ) i'm sorry, when it comes to relationships, i do not trust an in-flight magazine. that's how i ended up in a steamy summer romance with self- inflating patio furniture i bought in "sky mall." and for some reason, dumbledore's wand, i don't know why. ( laughter ) ( piano riff ) the interview with drew barrymore is just as weird, so much so that a lot of people-- like drew barrymore-- accused the author of making it up. but she tweeted her own defense, saying, "the interview with drew barrimoor, which took place in new york, is genuine and far from fake." oh, yes, drew barri-moor. famous for

freud to see hostility. >> it wasn't this very polished political speak.e people did read that as she was making jokes at his expense. >> the criticism didn't stop michelle and barack's surging popularity. >> the last seven days i have been speaking five times a day. i'm not the candidate. but i am doing it because i know in my heart that we can get this right. >> she ended up taking on the nickname in the campaign the closer. she would meet with five or six undecided and get them to commit. >> they notched primary wins the news and the opposition hung on their every word. during the speech in wisconsin, michelle gave barack's rivals a chance to pounce. >> let me tell you something for the first time in my adult lifetime, i'm really proud of my country. >> that's not what i would have said. >> 15 word had the republican opposition questioning michelle's patriotism. >> i'm proud of my country. i don't know about you. if you heard the words earlier. >> some conservative and characterize michelle as an angry black woman. >> she never really let it get to her

lizard people of the trump administration or the e-mails, it's hard enough to have a little shodden freudse trump has talked about this so much. there is no way to defend this except to try to draw meaningless distinctions and try to say, well, that was horrible, and this is not. how do they not know any better? >> i want to run through just a list that we've compiled here, a list of a few times we've seen hypocrisy from this administration. we should note this is an abbreviated list for time. the president launched himself on to the political stage in 2012 about the birther claim about your former boss david lit, he tweeted an extremely credible source has called my office and told me that barack obama's birth certificate is a fraud. six years later president trump tweeting, when you see anonymous source, stop reading the story. it's fiction. and remember this other line from the campaign trail? >> i'm proposing a -- to make our government honest once again. >> it's time to drain the swamp in washington, d.c. >> and drain the swamp became a popular refrain. since then, though, the presid

if shot and freud were an art this would be a picasso. at the same time the attorney general has basically been handed his hat to walk out the door while the president is capable of exercising his will through a person who is, if you will, his second there in the department of justice who will do the president's bidding. this is a subversion of everything american and everything american ought to be outraged. >> what do you think people are to make of this, though, when the democrats say we're almost there. this looks like it? i heard from a congressman that said this could to be that thing. but no one seems to be hitting the red button yet. i think donald trump, who is a master a master at communication and deception i think it's fair to say, even he admits that, has found a way to keep moving it slowly and slowly, our republic like a proverbial boiling frog. i don't usually get that poetic. when you are here, i get going. >> right. >> how is the public supposed to decide when the line is crossed? . >> donald trump is kaiser solcy. all a

spinoza, marx, freud, jamie watson, bf skinner, bono and move right down to the new atheist such as sam harris. what is freedom he says? the very front cover of his book is of a puppet on strings. you cannot use naturalistic science alone to give a grounding for freedom. freedom is actually unique to the jewish and christian scriptures. freedom being what it is weak it is we can other plumb each other's motives and apartments in the forecasters will never, ever appeal to close the circle with certainty and say what's going to happen. it depends on us. i would say to you in mind of where we are today, the choice is yours. will this great american story, this great american journey, this great american quest for a free, just society that can stay free p. finished in this generation because people gave up on the founding principles or will there be enough to have the courage to explore and stand against it with all the challenges we have in the universities and any other places today. the choice is yours and so also will be the consequences. thank you.
