you're going to understand how the media
works.<00:00:40.719> Okay,<00:00:40.879> so<00:00:41.200> first<00:00:41.440> a<00:00:41.680> little<00:00:41.760> bit<00:00:41.920> of
context for our international viewers.
Uh<00:00:44.239> in<00:00:44.480> the<00:00:44.640> last<00:00:45.120> uh<00:00:45.280> month<00:00:45.600> or<00:00:45.840> two<00:00:46.239> there

have been lots and lots of protests
outside<00:00:49.360> hotels<00:00:49.920> which<00:00:50.160> are<00:00:50.399> being<00:00:50.559> used<00:00:50.800> by
the government to house asylum seekers.
Uh<00:00:53.760> asylum<00:00:54.160> seekers<00:00:54.480> have<00:00:54.719> come<00:00:54.960> they<00:00:55.199> have
Uh asylum seekers have come they have
not<00:00:55.520> been<00:00:55.680> processed<00:00:56.000> and<00:00:56.160> they're<00:00:56.320> being<00:00:56.480> put
not been processed and they're being put
up<00:00:56.719> in<00:00:56.960> hotels<00:00:57.360> and<00:00:57.600> it<00:00:57.760> has<00:00:57.920> led<00:00:58.079> to<00:00:58.559> lots<00:00:58.719> and
up in hotels and it has led to lots and
lots<00:00:59.120> of<00:00:59.199> protests<00:00:59.680> all<00:00:59.840> over<00:01:00.000> the<00:01:00.239> country<00:01:00.399> by
British people saying they're not happy
with<00:01:02.239> asylum<00:01:02.640> seekers<00:01:03.039> being<00:01:03.199> kept<00:01:03.440> in<00:01:03.600> in
with asylum seekers being kept in in
hotels.<00:01:04.720> Okay.<00:01:05.040> So,<00:01:05.280> for<00:01:05.519> a<00:01:05.680> long<00:01:05.840> time,<00:01:06.080> I
the channel because I am an economist
and<00:01:10.320> I<00:01:10.479> like<00:01:10.640> to<00:01:10.799> focus<00:01:11.040> on<00:01:11.360> the<00:01:11.600> economy<00:01:11.920> and
and I like to focus on the economy and
things<00:01:12.320> which<00:01:12.479> I'm<00:01:12.640> an<00:01:12.799> expert<00:01:13.040> on.<00:01:13.600> But<00:01:13.760> we
things which I'm an expert on. But we
started<00:01:14.159> to<00:01:14.320> see<00:01:14.400> a<00:01:14.640> couple<00:01:14.720> of<00:01:14.880> years<00:01:15.040> ago
started to see a couple of years ago
like<00:01:15.680> the<00:01:15.840> growth<00:01:16.080> and<00:01:16.240> the<00:01:16.400> growth<00:01:16.640> and<00:01:16.799> the
saying, "What you talking about? The
problem<00:01:22.720> is<00:01:22.880> not<00:01:23.040> rich<00:01:23.280> people.<00:01:23.680> The<00:01:23.840> problem
immigration. Why don't you talk about
that?"<00:01:27.600> Um,<00:01:27.920> and<00:01:28.159> we<00:01:28.320> saw<00:01:28.560> the<00:01:28.799> popularity<00:01:29.280> of
that?" Um, and we saw the popularity of
this<00:01:29.600> grow<00:01:29.680> and<00:01:29.840> grow<00:01:30.000> and<00:01:30.159> grow.<00:01:30.799> And<00:01:30.960> it
opposition to ideas about taxing the
rich.<00:01:41.439> So<00:01:41.680> I<00:01:41.920> did<00:01:42.079> a<00:01:42.320> video<00:01:42.560> a<00:01:42.880> couple<00:01:42.960> of<00:01:43.119> years
ago, my first video on immigration,
which<00:01:45.200> we'll<00:01:45.439> we'll<00:01:45.680> link<00:01:45.840> here<00:01:46.079> so<00:01:46.240> you<00:01:46.399> can
which we'll we'll link here so you can
see.<00:01:47.280> And<00:01:47.520> really<00:01:48.320> by<00:01:48.560> and<00:01:48.720> large<00:01:48.880> I<00:01:49.119> haven't
see. And really by and large I haven't
touched<00:01:49.520> it<00:01:49.680> so<00:01:49.920> much<00:01:50.240> since<00:01:50.640> but<00:01:50.799> I<00:01:50.880> wanted<00:01:51.040> to
touched it so much since but I wanted to
do<00:01:51.280> a<00:01:51.439> video<00:01:51.680> on<00:01:51.840> it<00:01:52.079> now<00:01:52.479> because<00:01:52.799> I<00:01:52.960> think
do a video on it now because I think
it's<00:01:53.360> again<00:01:53.759> become<00:01:54.640> really<00:01:55.040> relevant<00:01:55.520> to<00:01:56.479> our
it's again become really relevant to our
work<00:01:57.119> on<00:01:57.840> dealing<00:01:58.159> with<00:01:58.320> the<00:01:58.479> problem<00:01:58.640> with
work on dealing with the problem with
the<00:01:59.119> economy<00:01:59.600> dealing<00:01:59.840> with<00:01:59.920> the<00:02:00.159> problem<00:02:00.320> on
the economy dealing with the problem on
inequality.<00:02:01.759> And<00:02:01.920> I<00:02:02.079> think<00:02:02.240> what<00:02:02.560> we've<00:02:02.799> seen
inequality. And I think what we've seen
is<00:02:03.920> I<00:02:04.240> came<00:02:04.399> back<00:02:04.560> from<00:02:04.799> holiday<00:02:05.280> about
is I came back from holiday about
two<00:02:07.439> months<00:02:07.680> ago<00:02:07.840> now<00:02:08.160> two<00:02:08.239> and<00:02:08.319> a<00:02:08.399> half<00:02:08.560> months
two months ago now two and a half months
ago<00:02:08.959> and<00:02:09.119> at<00:02:09.280> the<00:02:09.440> time<00:02:10.080> it<00:02:10.319> really<00:02:10.560> felt<00:02:10.800> like
ago and at the time it really felt like
we<00:02:11.120> kind<00:02:11.360> of<00:02:11.920> had<00:02:12.160> our<00:02:12.400> foot<00:02:12.640> on<00:02:12.800> the<00:02:12.959> neck<00:02:13.200> of
don't you do something about wealth
taxes?<00:02:20.720> Why<00:02:20.959> don't<00:02:21.040> you<00:02:21.200> do<00:02:21.360> something<00:02:21.520> about
taxes? Why don't you do something about
inequality?<00:02:23.120> And<00:02:23.360> there<00:02:23.520> was<00:02:23.680> kind<00:02:23.840> of<00:02:24.000> an
inequality? And there was kind of an
effort<00:02:24.480> made<00:02:25.360> by<00:02:25.680> the<00:02:25.840> media,<00:02:26.400> especially<00:02:26.720> by
the right-wing media, to kind of
discredit<00:02:28.640> the<00:02:28.879> ideas<00:02:29.120> on<00:02:29.280> wealth<00:02:29.520> taxes.<00:02:30.160> And
discredit the ideas on wealth taxes. And
really,<00:02:31.200> to<00:02:31.440> be<00:02:31.520> honest,<00:02:31.920> it<00:02:32.160> kind<00:02:32.319> of<00:02:32.400> failed.
poke many holes in the idea of taxing
the<00:02:37.760> rich<00:02:38.000> more,<00:02:38.239> in<00:02:38.400> the<00:02:38.480> idea<00:02:38.640> of<00:02:38.800> doing
something about inequality, and it felt
like<00:02:40.800> we<00:02:41.120> had<00:02:41.360> won<00:02:41.599> the<00:02:41.760> argument.<00:02:42.640> But<00:02:42.879> then
pretty much stopped talking about
inequality<00:02:48.640> and<00:02:48.959> started<00:02:49.280> to<00:02:49.440> talk<00:02:49.680> more<00:02:49.920> and
inequality and started to talk more and
more<00:02:50.239> and<00:02:50.480> more<00:02:50.640> and<00:02:50.879> more<00:02:51.120> about<00:02:51.760> refugees
more and more and more about refugees
and<00:02:52.800> asylum<00:02:53.280> seekers<00:02:53.680> and<00:02:53.840> these<00:02:54.080> protests<00:02:54.480> at
and asylum seekers and these protests at
these<00:02:54.879> hotels.<00:02:55.599> And<00:02:55.760> what<00:02:56.000> this<00:02:56.319> teaches<00:02:56.720> us
these hotels. And what this teaches us
is<00:02:57.200> the<00:02:57.440> importance<00:02:57.760> of<00:02:57.920> the<00:02:58.160> first<00:02:58.400> media
is the importance of the first media
idea<00:02:59.120> we're<00:02:59.280> going<00:02:59.360> to<00:02:59.519> explain<00:02:59.760> today<00:03:00.400> which
Okay. So what is salience? I'm going to
explain<00:03:06.480> what<00:03:06.720> salience<00:03:07.280> is<00:03:07.760> by<00:03:08.080> telling<00:03:08.400> a
explain what salience is by telling a
story<00:03:09.200> about<00:03:09.440> when<00:03:09.680> I<00:03:09.920> first<00:03:10.239> started<00:03:11.040> talking
story about when I first started talking
about<00:03:11.519> economics<00:03:11.920> in<00:03:12.080> the<00:03:12.239> media.<00:03:13.200> So,<00:03:13.519> I
about economics in the media. So, I
started<00:03:14.080> this<00:03:14.319> YouTube<00:03:14.560> channel<00:03:14.800> in<00:03:15.120> 2020<00:03:15.680> and
started this YouTube channel in 2020 and
at<00:03:16.159> the<00:03:16.239> time<00:03:16.400> I<00:03:16.640> started<00:03:16.879> to<00:03:17.040> do<00:03:17.440> quite<00:03:17.680> a
at the time I started to do quite a
little<00:03:17.920> bit<00:03:18.080> of<00:03:18.239> like<00:03:18.480> radio<00:03:19.360> talking<00:03:19.760> about
inequality, talking about the economy.
Um,<00:03:23.440> I<00:03:23.760> was<00:03:24.879> lucky<00:03:25.200> because<00:03:25.519> I<00:03:25.680> was<00:03:25.760> one<00:03:25.920> of<00:03:26.000> the
Um, I was lucky because I was one of the
first<00:03:26.400> guys<00:03:26.640> who<00:03:26.959> realized<00:03:27.360> there<00:03:27.599> was<00:03:27.760> going
first guys who realized there was going
to<00:03:27.920> be<00:03:28.080> a<00:03:28.239> big<00:03:28.400> inequality<00:03:29.040> crisis,<00:03:29.440> that
to be a big inequality crisis, that
there<00:03:29.680> was<00:03:29.840> going<00:03:29.920> to<00:03:30.000> be<00:03:30.080> a<00:03:30.239> big<00:03:30.319> inflation
there was going to be a big inflation
crisis.<00:03:31.440> Um,<00:03:32.239> so<00:03:32.400> I<00:03:32.560> started<00:03:32.799> to<00:03:32.959> tell
crisis. Um, so I started to tell
everybody<00:03:33.360> about<00:03:33.519> it<00:03:33.680> and<00:03:33.840> I<00:03:33.920> went<00:03:34.000> on<00:03:34.239> loads
everybody about it and I went on loads
and<00:03:34.560> loads<00:03:34.799> of<00:03:35.040> radio<00:03:35.440> shows.<00:03:35.920> Um,<00:03:36.159> if<00:03:36.400> you
like the really, really, really early
videos.<00:03:40.239> We<00:03:40.480> used<00:03:40.640> to<00:03:40.799> upload<00:03:41.200> all<00:03:41.440> of<00:03:41.599> my
radio interviews. So you'll you'll see
them<00:03:43.519> on<00:03:43.680> there<00:03:44.159> and<00:03:44.319> you'll<00:03:44.560> see<00:03:44.720> I<00:03:44.879> was
basically saying like years in advance
we<00:03:47.440> were<00:03:47.519> going<00:03:47.599> to<00:03:47.760> have<00:03:47.840> an<00:03:48.080> inequality
we were going to have an inequality
crisis<00:03:48.879> and<00:03:49.120> we're<00:03:49.280> going<00:03:49.280> to<00:03:49.360> have<00:03:49.440> an
crisis and we're going to have an
inflation<00:03:50.000> crisis.<00:03:50.560> Um,<00:03:51.280> and<00:03:51.440> I<00:03:51.599> was<00:03:51.760> in<00:03:51.840> a
really strong position basically because
I<00:03:54.640> was<00:03:54.799> a<00:03:54.959> very<00:03:55.120> good<00:03:55.280> economist.<00:03:55.760> I<00:03:55.840> had<00:03:55.920> a
I was a very good economist. I had a
very<00:03:56.319> good<00:03:56.480> history.<00:03:56.799> I<00:03:56.959> was<00:03:57.120> one<00:03:57.280> of<00:03:57.360> the<00:03:57.519> top
very good history. I was one of the top
traders<00:03:58.239> in<00:03:58.400> the<00:03:58.560> city.<00:03:59.040> And<00:04:00.159> economists<00:04:00.640> who
are this good basically don't normally
appear<00:04:02.799> in<00:04:03.040> the<00:04:03.120> media<00:04:03.439> because<00:04:04.000> they<00:04:04.239> get
appear in the media because they get
paid<00:04:04.560> a<00:04:04.720> lot<00:04:04.799> more<00:04:04.879> to<00:04:05.040> work<00:04:05.200> for<00:04:05.360> banks.<00:04:05.840> Um<00:04:06.480> so
paid a lot more to work for banks. Um so
in<00:04:07.120> my<00:04:07.280> personal<00:04:07.680> opinion<00:04:08.239> I<00:04:08.400> was<00:04:08.560> kind<00:04:08.640> of
head and shoulders above the competition
talking<00:04:11.439> about<00:04:11.599> the<00:04:11.760> economy.<00:04:12.400> I<00:04:12.560> went<00:04:12.720> to
talking about the economy. I went to
loads<00:04:13.040> of<00:04:13.200> shows.<00:04:13.760> I<00:04:14.000> spoke<00:04:14.159> about<00:04:14.319> the
loads of shows. I spoke about the
economy.<00:04:14.799> I<00:04:14.959> was<00:04:15.040> doing<00:04:15.200> really<00:04:15.360> well<00:04:15.519> and
economy. I was doing really well and
eventually<00:04:16.079> I<00:04:16.400> got<00:04:16.479> invited<00:04:16.880> to<00:04:17.280> go<00:04:17.519> on<00:04:17.840> with
eventually I got invited to go on with
Nick<00:04:18.479> Ferrari<00:04:19.199> who<00:04:19.440> is<00:04:20.079> the<00:04:20.320> most<00:04:20.720> right-wing
Nick Ferrari who is the most right-wing
presenter<00:04:21.759> on<00:04:22.160> LBC.<00:04:22.960> So<00:04:23.280> again<00:04:23.520> for<00:04:23.759> our
presenter on LBC. So again for our
foreign<00:04:24.240> viewers<00:04:24.960> LBC<00:04:25.680> is<00:04:26.000> like<00:04:26.240> a<00:04:26.400> really
foreign viewers LBC is like a really
popular<00:04:27.040> talk<00:04:27.360> radio<00:04:27.680> show<00:04:27.919> in<00:04:28.080> this<00:04:28.240> country.
popular talk radio show in this country.
People<00:04:29.120> call<00:04:29.360> in<00:04:29.840> they<00:04:30.080> talk<00:04:30.240> about<00:04:30.400> the
considered the most right-wing one. And
I<00:04:46.479> got<00:04:46.720> called<00:04:46.960> up<00:04:47.280> late<00:04:47.520> one<00:04:47.759> evening.<00:04:48.000> I<00:04:48.160> was
playing football with my friends and
they<00:04:50.160> wanted<00:04:50.400> me<00:04:50.479> to<00:04:50.639> come<00:04:50.720> on<00:04:50.880> and<00:04:51.040> talk<00:04:51.280> about
what I thought was the economy
basically.<00:04:54.479> Um,<00:04:55.360> and<00:04:55.759> I<00:04:55.919> I<00:04:56.320> broke<00:04:56.560> my<00:04:56.800> rib
basically. Um, and I I broke my rib
playing<00:04:57.440> football,<00:04:57.919> but<00:04:58.160> I<00:04:58.479> really<00:04:58.720> wanted<00:04:58.880> to
playing football, but I really wanted to
do<00:04:59.120> it<00:04:59.199> because<00:04:59.440> Nick<00:04:59.600> Ferrari<00:05:00.000> is<00:05:00.080> like<00:05:00.240> their
do it because Nick Ferrari is like their
big<00:05:00.560> presenter.<00:05:01.040> So,<00:05:01.199> I<00:05:01.440> barely<00:05:01.759> slept<00:05:02.000> and<00:05:02.160> I
big presenter. So, I barely slept and I
went<00:05:02.400> on<00:05:02.560> early<00:05:02.720> in<00:05:02.880> the<00:05:02.960> morning<00:05:03.199> on<00:05:03.440> Nick
went on early in the morning on Nick
Ferrari<00:05:04.479> and<00:05:04.960> I<00:05:05.120> want<00:05:05.199> to<00:05:05.360> talk<00:05:05.520> about<00:05:05.600> the
economy. I want to talk about
inequality.<00:05:08.160> I<00:05:08.320> wanted<00:05:08.479> to<00:05:08.720> talk<00:05:08.880> about<00:05:09.120> how
economic crisis. And what Nick Ferrari
did<00:05:15.280> was<00:05:15.919> he<00:05:16.320> didn't<00:05:17.039> allow<00:05:17.360> the<00:05:17.680> conversation
did was he didn't allow the conversation
to<00:05:19.520> ever<00:05:19.759> be<00:05:20.000> about<00:05:20.320> anything<00:05:20.880> except<00:05:21.280> for
about what kind of energy provider an
ordinary<00:05:27.680> family<00:05:28.000> uses.<00:05:28.479> And<00:05:28.639> every<00:05:28.800> time<00:05:28.960> I
ordinary family uses. And every time I
tried<00:05:29.360> to<00:05:29.520> move<00:05:29.759> it<00:05:29.919> to<00:05:30.160> something<00:05:30.880> bigger
was like, "What energy provider should
our<00:05:35.919> viewers<00:05:36.320> use?"<00:05:36.560> Again<00:05:36.800> and<00:05:36.960> again<00:05:37.120> and
our viewers use?" Again and again and
again.<00:05:37.759> And<00:05:38.240> that<00:05:38.560> is<00:05:38.720> an<00:05:39.039> example<00:05:39.280> of
discussion. And once you start thinking
about<00:05:54.080> salience,<00:05:54.639> so<00:05:55.039> my<00:05:55.360> background<00:05:56.400> is<00:05:56.639> is
about salience, so my background is is
not<00:05:57.039> in<00:05:57.199> media.<00:05:57.600> My<00:05:57.680> background<00:05:57.919> is<00:05:58.080> in<00:05:58.240> in
not in media. My background is in in
maths<00:05:58.720> and<00:05:58.880> economics<00:05:59.600> and<00:06:00.240> and<00:06:00.720> trading.<00:06:01.120> And
maths and economics and and trading. And
in<00:06:01.440> my<00:06:01.520> heart<00:06:01.680> of<00:06:01.840> hearts,<00:06:02.080> I'm<00:06:02.320> like<00:06:02.479> a<00:06:02.639> very
in my heart of hearts, I'm like a very
sort<00:06:02.960> of<00:06:03.120> logicy<00:06:03.680> mathsy<00:06:04.240> guy.<00:06:04.720> And<00:06:04.960> I<00:06:05.120> think<00:06:05.199> a
sort of logicy mathsy guy. And I think a
lot<00:06:05.440> of<00:06:05.520> people<00:06:05.759> like<00:06:05.919> that,<00:06:06.160> they<00:06:06.479> think<00:06:07.120> that
political debate is about debate and
about<00:06:10.720> winning<00:06:10.960> the<00:06:11.120> argument.<00:06:11.520> I<00:06:11.680> make<00:06:11.840> my
about winning the argument. I make my
points,<00:06:12.400> you<00:06:12.560> make<00:06:12.720> your<00:06:12.960> point,<00:06:13.680> and<00:06:13.919> we<00:06:14.160> we
points, you make your point, and we we
the<00:06:14.720> public<00:06:14.960> will<00:06:15.120> decide<00:06:15.360> who's<00:06:15.600> the<00:06:15.759> winner.
But what this Nick Ferrari interview
showed<00:06:19.680> me<00:06:20.160> is<00:06:20.400> a<00:06:20.639> massive<00:06:21.520> thing<00:06:21.680> that<00:06:21.919> you
showed me is a massive thing that you
can<00:06:22.240> do<00:06:22.960> is<00:06:23.520> to<00:06:24.800> make<00:06:25.120> sure<00:06:25.840> you<00:06:26.160> basically
can do is to make sure you basically
understand<00:06:26.960> what<00:06:27.120> is<00:06:27.199> it<00:06:27.360> that<00:06:27.520> my<00:06:27.759> opponent
understand what is it that my opponent
is<00:06:28.319> good<00:06:28.479> at?<00:06:29.199> What<00:06:29.440> what<00:06:29.759> area<00:06:30.000> is<00:06:30.160> he<00:06:30.400> good
is good at? What what area is he good
at?<00:06:30.800> What<00:06:30.960> area<00:06:31.199> is<00:06:31.280> he<00:06:31.440> weak<00:06:31.759> at?<00:06:32.400> What<00:06:32.560> area
at? What area is he weak at? What area
am<00:06:33.039> I<00:06:33.360> good<00:06:33.600> at?<00:06:33.919> What<00:06:34.080> area<00:06:34.319> am<00:06:34.479> I<00:06:34.639> weak<00:06:34.880> at?
am I good at? What area am I weak at?
And<00:06:35.520> you<00:06:35.759> make<00:06:35.919> sure<00:06:36.160> that<00:06:36.400> you<00:06:36.639> only<00:06:36.960> ever
And you make sure that you only ever
speak<00:06:37.600> about<00:06:37.759> the<00:06:38.000> area<00:06:38.240> that<00:06:38.400> you<00:06:38.639> are<00:06:38.800> strong
speak about the area that you are strong
at.<00:06:39.199> And<00:06:39.360> you<00:06:39.520> don't<00:06:39.759> allow<00:06:41.039> the<00:06:41.360> subject<00:06:41.759> to
at. And you don't allow the subject to
to<00:06:42.479> be<00:06:42.720> anything<00:06:42.960> that<00:06:43.199> your<00:06:43.440> opponent<00:06:43.759> might
to be anything that your opponent might
be<00:06:44.080> good<00:06:44.160> at.<00:06:44.319> that<00:06:44.560> is<00:06:44.800> controlling<00:06:45.680> the
salience. Salience is basically how
visible<00:06:49.280> a<00:06:49.600> particular<00:06:50.160> topic<00:06:50.479> is.<00:06:51.120> So<00:06:51.280> rather
visible a particular topic is. So rather
than<00:06:51.759> try<00:06:51.919> to<00:06:52.080> win<00:06:52.319> the<00:06:52.479> debate,<00:06:53.120> you<00:06:53.280> try<00:06:53.520> to
than try to win the debate, you try to
make<00:06:53.840> sure<00:06:54.000> only<00:06:54.319> one<00:06:54.639> side<00:06:54.880> of<00:06:54.960> the<00:06:55.199> debate<00:06:55.680> is
make sure only one side of the debate is
visible,<00:06:56.479> has<00:06:56.720> any<00:06:56.960> volume<00:06:57.440> gets<00:06:57.759> heard<00:06:58.160> and
visible, has any volume gets heard and
that<00:06:58.560> is<00:06:58.639> the<00:06:58.800> side<00:06:58.960> of<00:06:59.039> the<00:06:59.199> debate<00:06:59.840> side<00:07:00.080> of
that is the side of the debate side of
the<00:07:00.319> debate<00:07:00.639> upon<00:07:00.880> which<00:07:01.120> you<00:07:01.280> are<00:07:01.440> strong.
the debate upon which you are strong.
And<00:07:02.160> this<00:07:02.400> idea<00:07:02.720> of<00:07:03.120> uh<00:07:03.360> salience<00:07:04.000> in<00:07:04.400> a<00:07:04.639> debate
And this idea of uh salience in a debate
or<00:07:05.039> in<00:07:05.199> a<00:07:05.360> conversation<00:07:06.160> which<00:07:06.400> if<00:07:06.639> you<00:07:06.720> keep
or in a conversation which if you keep
an<00:07:07.039> eye<00:07:07.120> out<00:07:07.280> for<00:07:07.360> it<00:07:07.520> you<00:07:07.680> will<00:07:07.759> see<00:07:07.919> all<00:07:08.080> over
an eye out for it you will see all over
the<00:07:08.479> media.<00:07:08.800> You<00:07:08.960> will<00:07:09.120> see<00:07:09.360> everybody<00:07:09.840> doing
conversation or an individual debate. We
can<00:07:16.880> apply<00:07:17.120> it<00:07:17.199> to<00:07:17.360> the<00:07:17.520> media<00:07:17.840> as<00:07:18.080> a<00:07:18.240> whole,
can apply it to the media as a whole,
one<00:07:19.599> media<00:07:20.000> show<00:07:20.319> or<00:07:20.639> basically<00:07:20.960> like<00:07:21.199> the
one media show or basically like the
whole<00:07:21.599> media<00:07:22.080> like<00:07:22.400> all<00:07:22.560> of<00:07:22.720> the<00:07:22.880> TV,<00:07:23.199> all<00:07:23.360> of
whole media like all of the TV, all of
the<00:07:23.599> newspapers,<00:07:24.639> all<00:07:24.880> of<00:07:25.039> the<00:07:25.440> online<00:07:26.000> social
the newspapers, all of the online social
media.<00:07:27.199> What<00:07:27.759> topics<00:07:28.240> are<00:07:28.479> getting<00:07:28.720> discussed
and what topics are not getting
discussed?<00:07:32.560> And<00:07:32.800> back<00:07:33.039> when<00:07:33.199> I<00:07:33.440> came<00:07:33.520> back
discussed? And back when I came back
from<00:07:33.840> holiday<00:07:34.160> in<00:07:34.400> late<00:07:34.560> June,<00:07:35.199> early<00:07:35.599> July,
the economy and inequality and taxation
and<00:07:40.000> taxation<00:07:40.400> of<00:07:40.560> the<00:07:40.639> rich<00:07:40.960> were<00:07:41.280> being
single news show. We had massive
salience.<00:07:47.199> We<00:07:47.520> we<00:07:47.759> were<00:07:47.919> the<00:07:48.080> issue<00:07:48.319> that<00:07:48.479> was
salience. We we were the issue that was
being<00:07:48.880> spoken<00:07:49.280> about.<00:07:49.759> We<00:07:49.919> were<00:07:50.000> the<00:07:50.160> issue
being spoken about. We were the issue
that<00:07:50.479> was<00:07:50.560> dominating<00:07:51.039> media<00:07:51.360> time.<00:07:52.080> And<00:07:52.319> now
that was dominating media time. And now
if<00:07:52.880> you<00:07:52.960> look<00:07:53.039> at<00:07:53.199> the<00:07:53.360> TV,<00:07:54.160> what<00:07:54.400> you<00:07:54.639> see<00:07:54.879> is
taxation, distribution have kind of been
put<00:08:10.080> on<00:08:10.240> the<00:08:10.400> shelf<00:08:10.800> which<00:08:11.120> basically<00:08:11.520> means
put on the shelf which basically means
we<00:08:13.199> as<00:08:13.440> much<00:08:13.599> as<00:08:13.759> we<00:08:14.000> maybe<00:08:14.319> won<00:08:14.560> the<00:08:14.720> argument
we as much as we maybe won the argument
on<00:08:15.360> the<00:08:15.599> economy,<00:08:16.240> we<00:08:16.479> are<00:08:16.639> now<00:08:16.879> losing<00:08:17.520> the
on the economy, we are now losing the
battle<00:08:18.479> for<00:08:18.720> salience.<00:08:19.840> So<00:08:21.039> how<00:08:21.280> do<00:08:21.360> you<00:08:21.520> win
battle for salience. So how do you win
the<00:08:21.919> battle<00:08:22.160> for<00:08:22.400> salience?<00:08:23.039> And<00:08:23.199> that<00:08:23.440> brings
the battle for salience? And that brings
us<00:08:24.000> to<00:08:24.400> my<00:08:24.720> next<00:08:25.039> important<00:08:25.520> point<00:08:25.759> which
us to my next important point which
we're<00:08:26.160> going<00:08:26.240> to<00:08:26.400> discuss<00:08:26.800> about<00:08:27.039> the<00:08:27.280> media
which is storytelling.
Okay.<00:08:31.199> So<00:08:31.520> storytelling.<00:08:32.800> Now<00:08:33.120> I<00:08:33.519> if<00:08:33.760> you<00:08:34.000> have
Okay. So storytelling. Now I if you have
been<00:08:34.320> watching<00:08:34.479> for<00:08:34.640> a<00:08:34.800> long<00:08:34.880> time<00:08:35.039> you'll
been watching for a long time you'll
know<00:08:35.360> this<00:08:35.519> or<00:08:35.680> if<00:08:35.760> you<00:08:35.839> go<00:08:36.000> back<00:08:36.080> and<00:08:36.320> watch
know this or if you go back and watch
some<00:08:36.560> of<00:08:36.640> our<00:08:36.800> older<00:08:37.120> videos<00:08:37.599> I<00:08:37.760> have<00:08:37.919> been
some of our older videos I have been
saying<00:08:38.399> for<00:08:38.640> years<00:08:39.279> that<00:08:39.519> in<00:08:39.680> this<00:08:39.839> country
saying for years that in this country
what<00:08:40.320> would<00:08:40.479> happen<00:08:40.640> was<00:08:41.519> uh<00:08:41.680> Rishi<00:08:42.000> Sunnak
electoral win. then Kisarma and Labour
would<00:08:49.680> fail<00:08:49.920> really<00:08:50.160> badly<00:08:50.720> and<00:08:50.959> then<00:08:51.120> Nigel
would fail really badly and then Nigel
Farage<00:08:52.000> and<00:08:52.240> reform<00:08:52.959> would<00:08:53.279> win.<00:08:53.680> Uh<00:08:53.920> I've
Farage and reform would win. Uh I've
been<00:08:54.240> saying<00:08:54.320> this<00:08:54.560> for<00:08:54.720> years.<00:08:55.120> I<00:08:55.360> said<00:08:55.519> this
been saying this for years. I said this
is<00:08:56.399> right<00:08:56.640> back<00:08:56.800> when<00:08:56.959> Boris<00:08:57.200> Johnson<00:08:57.440> was
still prime minister and um British
Senate<00:08:59.360> was<00:08:59.519> coming<00:08:59.680> in.<00:09:00.320> Uh<00:09:00.640> so<00:09:00.800> I've<00:09:01.040> made<00:09:01.120> a
Senate was coming in. Uh so I've made a
lot<00:09:01.360> of<00:09:01.440> very<00:09:01.680> good<00:09:02.080> correct<00:09:02.480> predictions<00:09:02.880> on
lot of very good correct predictions on
politics<00:09:03.600> which<00:09:03.839> were<00:09:04.000> not<00:09:04.160> consensus<00:09:04.640> at<00:09:04.800> the
politics which were not consensus at the
time.<00:09:05.360> And<00:09:05.519> the<00:09:05.680> way<00:09:05.839> I've<00:09:06.000> been<00:09:06.080> able<00:09:06.240> to<00:09:06.399> make
the very rich which is driving asset
prices<00:09:37.040> up<00:09:37.279> which<00:09:37.440> is<00:09:37.519> making<00:09:37.680> it<00:09:37.920> harder<00:09:38.080> for
prices up which is making it harder for
ordinary<00:09:38.640> people<00:09:38.800> to<00:09:38.959> live.<00:09:40.240> Because<00:09:40.560> we<00:09:40.800> knew
Conservatives and Kistama and Labour
would<00:09:44.880> come<00:09:45.040> in<00:09:45.440> and<00:09:45.760> do<00:09:46.000> nothing<00:09:46.160> about<00:09:46.399> this
that they would fail economically. It's
like<00:09:50.399> you've<00:09:50.560> got<00:09:50.640> a<00:09:50.720> hole<00:09:50.959> in<00:09:51.120> the<00:09:51.200> bottom<00:09:51.440> of
like you've got a hole in the bottom of
your<00:09:51.680> boat.<00:09:52.240> Wealth<00:09:52.560> is<00:09:52.720> sucking<00:09:53.120> out<00:09:53.279> of<00:09:53.360> that
accelerating pace. If you don't patch
that<00:09:56.880> hole,<00:09:57.200> you're<00:09:57.440> going<00:09:57.519> to<00:09:57.600> fail.<00:09:58.080> So,<00:09:58.160> it
that hole, you're going to fail. So, it
was<00:09:58.480> relatively<00:09:58.959> easy<00:09:59.279> to<00:09:59.519> know<00:10:00.560> that<00:10:00.880> we
was relatively easy to know that we
would<00:10:01.279> have<00:10:01.920> a<00:10:02.320> a<00:10:02.640> sequence<00:10:03.040> of<00:10:03.760> failing
would have a a sequence of failing
governments.<00:10:05.200> But<00:10:05.360> how<00:10:05.600> was<00:10:05.680> I<00:10:05.839> able<00:10:06.160> also<00:10:06.399> to
governments. But how was I able also to
predict<00:10:06.880> the<00:10:07.120> rise<00:10:07.440> of<00:10:08.160> reform<00:10:08.560> and<00:10:08.720> the<00:10:08.880> rise
predict the rise of reform and the rise
of<00:10:09.120> Nigel<00:10:09.519> Farage<00:10:10.240> um<00:10:10.480> who<00:10:10.880> for<00:10:11.120> those<00:10:11.200> of<00:10:11.279> you
of Nigel Farage um who for those of you
who<00:10:11.519> might<00:10:11.680> not<00:10:11.760> know<00:10:11.920> who<00:10:12.080> not<00:10:12.160> from<00:10:12.320> the<00:10:12.399> UK
who might not know who not from the UK
are<00:10:12.800> our<00:10:13.040> sort<00:10:13.200> of<00:10:13.279> new<00:10:13.839> farright<00:10:14.320> party<00:10:14.640> and
are our sort of new farright party and
leader<00:10:16.079> that<00:10:16.320> was<00:10:16.480> because<00:10:16.720> I<00:10:17.040> understood<00:10:17.279> the
have an economic crisis especially what
we<00:10:23.440> have<00:10:23.680> had<00:10:23.920> in<00:10:24.160> the<00:10:24.320> last<00:10:25.120> 5<00:10:25.839> 10<00:10:26.480> sort<00:10:26.640> of
we have had in the last 5 10 sort of
coming<00:10:26.959> up<00:10:27.120> to<00:10:27.279> 20<00:10:27.519> years<00:10:27.760> now<00:10:28.959> a<00:10:29.120> long-term
feels like it has no end feels like it's
going<00:10:34.480> to<00:10:34.560> get<00:10:34.720> worse<00:10:34.880> and<00:10:35.040> worse<00:10:35.519> ordinary
public for something new something
different<00:10:45.120> right<00:10:45.440> people<00:10:46.079> do<00:10:46.320> not<00:10:46.480> want<00:10:46.880> it
different right people do not want it
people<00:10:47.760> can<00:10:48.000> have<00:10:48.079> a<00:10:48.320> sense<00:10:48.640> for<00:10:48.880> like<00:10:49.040> the
and the direction that living standards
are<00:10:52.160> headed.<00:10:52.720> And<00:10:52.880> if<00:10:53.040> you<00:10:53.120> go<00:10:53.200> to<00:10:53.360> a<00:10:53.519> place
are headed. And if you go to a place
like<00:10:53.839> India<00:10:54.160> or<00:10:54.320> like<00:10:54.560> China<00:10:55.040> where<00:10:55.279> living
like India or like China where living
standards<00:10:55.920> have<00:10:56.079> for<00:10:56.240> a<00:10:56.320> long<00:10:56.480> time<00:10:56.720> been
standards have for a long time been
worse<00:10:57.200> than<00:10:57.440> they<00:10:57.600> are<00:10:57.680> in<00:10:57.839> the<00:10:58.000> UK<00:10:58.720> because
worse than they are in the UK because
people<00:10:59.360> have<00:10:59.440> a<00:10:59.600> sense<00:10:59.760> that<00:10:59.920> life<00:11:00.160> is<00:11:00.320> getting
people have a sense that life is getting
better<00:11:00.720> and<00:11:00.959> their<00:11:01.120> kids<00:11:01.279> will<00:11:01.440> be<00:11:01.519> richer
better and their kids will be richer
than<00:11:02.000> they<00:11:02.160> are,<00:11:02.480> they're<00:11:02.720> happy<00:11:02.959> to<00:11:03.120> accept
than they are, they're happy to accept
that.<00:11:03.839> But<00:11:03.920> when<00:11:04.160> people<00:11:04.399> sense<00:11:04.560> that<00:11:04.720> their
life is getting worse, people really
worry.<00:11:07.360> People<00:11:07.920> don't<00:11:08.079> consider<00:11:08.320> that<00:11:08.480> to<00:11:08.640> be
different. And what people think they
want<00:11:13.680> is<00:11:13.920> like<00:11:14.079> a<00:11:14.240> new<00:11:14.399> economic<00:11:14.880> model<00:11:15.279> or<00:11:15.519> a
want is like a new economic model or a
new<00:11:15.839> way<00:11:16.000> of<00:11:16.160> dealing<00:11:16.399> with<00:11:16.560> with<00:11:17.360> the<00:11:17.600> economy
new way of dealing with with the economy
that<00:11:18.079> doesn't<00:11:18.320> collapse.<00:11:19.040> But<00:11:19.200> the<00:11:19.360> truth<00:11:19.920> or
that doesn't collapse. But the truth or
maybe<00:11:20.399> they<00:11:20.560> want<00:11:20.640> a<00:11:20.720> new<00:11:20.880> political<00:11:21.279> system.
maybe they want a new political system.
But<00:11:22.079> the<00:11:22.240> truth<00:11:22.480> is<00:11:23.040> most<00:11:23.360> people<00:11:23.519> are<00:11:23.680> not
But the truth is most people are not
experts<00:11:24.160> on<00:11:24.320> the<00:11:24.480> economy<00:11:24.800> and<00:11:25.040> politics.<00:11:25.519> And
experts on the economy and politics. And
what<00:11:25.920> people<00:11:26.160> really<00:11:26.480> want<00:11:26.880> is<00:11:27.120> a<00:11:27.360> new<00:11:27.760> story.
what people really want is a new story.
People<00:11:28.640> want<00:11:28.800> there<00:11:29.040> to<00:11:29.120> be<00:11:29.279> a<00:11:29.440> new<00:11:29.839> story<00:11:30.480> that
People want there to be a new story that
does<00:11:30.959> not<00:11:31.120> involve<00:11:31.519> their<00:11:31.760> kids<00:11:32.000> being<00:11:32.240> poor,
does not involve their kids being poor,
that<00:11:32.959> does<00:11:33.120> not<00:11:33.200> involve<00:11:33.600> them<00:11:33.760> getting<00:11:34.000> worse
that does not involve them getting worse
and<00:11:34.320> worse<00:11:34.480> off<00:11:34.720> over<00:11:34.959> time.<00:11:35.360> And<00:11:35.519> it<00:11:35.680> creates
and worse off over time. And it creates
this<00:11:36.160> massive<00:11:36.560> demand<00:11:37.040> for<00:11:37.760> basically<00:11:38.320> a<00:11:38.560> new
this massive demand for basically a new
story.<00:11:40.000> There's<00:11:40.240> this<00:11:40.480> quote<00:11:40.640> that<00:11:40.800> I<00:11:41.040> use
from Milton Freriedman, the American
economist,<00:11:44.160> which<00:11:44.399> is<00:11:44.560> at<00:11:44.720> times<00:11:44.959> of<00:11:45.200> crisis,
economist, which is at times of crisis,
the<00:11:46.480> solution<00:11:46.880> will<00:11:47.040> be<00:11:47.200> chosen<00:11:47.760> from<00:11:48.000> the
the solution will be chosen from the
ideas<00:11:48.560> lying<00:11:48.880> around<00:11:49.120> at<00:11:49.360> the<00:11:49.519> time.<00:11:50.320> If<00:11:50.480> you
have a collapsing economy, it creates
what<00:11:54.000> I<00:11:54.160> think<00:11:54.320> of<00:11:54.480> as<00:11:54.640> a<00:11:54.800> kind<00:11:54.959> of<00:11:55.120> economic
what I think of as a kind of economic
boom<00:11:56.399> for<00:11:56.800> stories<00:11:57.200> and<00:11:57.519> ideas,<00:11:58.399> which<00:11:58.640> is
when people are extremely unsatisfied
with<00:12:01.279> the<00:12:01.519> status<00:12:01.760> quo.<00:12:02.399> They<00:12:02.640> start<00:12:02.800> to<00:12:02.959> look
with the status quo. They start to look
around<00:12:03.519> and<00:12:03.760> think,<00:12:04.079> well,<00:12:04.640> what<00:12:05.040> are<00:12:05.680> our
other options? And that meant that
because<00:12:09.680> we<00:12:09.920> knew<00:12:10.079> we<00:12:10.320> would<00:12:10.480> have<00:12:10.639> a<00:12:10.720> a
compelling story that was different,
that<00:12:22.000> was<00:12:22.160> new<00:12:23.040> would<00:12:23.279> inevitably<00:12:24.320> get<00:12:24.560> drawn
that was new would inevitably get drawn
into<00:12:25.120> power.<00:12:26.240> And<00:12:26.480> what<00:12:26.720> really<00:12:27.040> matters<00:12:27.760> with
into power. And what really matters with
regards<00:12:28.320> to<00:12:28.399> these<00:12:28.639> stories<00:12:29.120> is<00:12:29.600> again<00:12:30.399> the
collapsing, lots of different people
will<00:12:35.519> have<00:12:35.680> lots<00:12:35.839> of<00:12:36.160> different<00:12:36.399> ideas<00:12:36.720> about
will have lots of different ideas about
how<00:12:37.200> do<00:12:37.360> we<00:12:37.680> fix<00:12:37.920> the<00:12:38.079> economy.<00:12:38.880> And<00:12:39.120> basically
how do we fix the economy. And basically
whichever<00:12:40.079> one<00:12:40.240> is<00:12:40.480> loudest<00:12:40.959> is<00:12:41.279> going<00:12:41.360> to<00:12:41.440> be
whichever one is loudest is going to be
the<00:12:41.920> guy<00:12:42.079> that<00:12:42.320> will<00:12:42.560> win.<00:12:43.440> When<00:12:43.680> you
you you kind of always know what's going
to<00:13:00.320> happen<00:13:00.480> in<00:13:00.720> politics,<00:13:01.200> which<00:13:01.440> is<00:13:01.760> whoever
to happen in politics, which is whoever
is<00:13:02.399> the<00:13:02.639> loudest<00:13:03.600> alternative<00:13:04.320> voice<00:13:04.639> at<00:13:04.880> any
is the loudest alternative voice at any
point<00:13:05.200> in<00:13:05.440> time<00:13:05.680> is<00:13:05.920> going<00:13:06.000> to<00:13:06.160> win<00:13:06.320> the<00:13:06.480> next
point in time is going to win the next
election.<00:13:07.680> Um,<00:13:07.920> and<00:13:08.160> Labour<00:13:08.480> won<00:13:08.720> the<00:13:08.880> last
election. Um, and Labour won the last
election<00:13:10.079> with<00:13:10.399> a<00:13:10.720> very<00:13:10.959> very<00:13:11.360> simple<00:13:11.680> story
of the Conservatives are really
Let's<00:13:14.560> kick<00:13:14.720> them<00:13:14.880> out.<00:13:15.120> And<00:13:15.279> that<00:13:15.600> basically
Let's kick them out. And that basically
won.<00:13:16.399> Um,<00:13:16.639> and<00:13:16.880> that<00:13:17.040> was<00:13:17.200> that<00:13:17.360> was<00:13:17.440> the
won. Um, and that was that was the
dominant<00:13:17.920> story<00:13:18.160> of<00:13:18.240> the<00:13:18.480> time.<00:13:19.279> But<00:13:19.440> then
dominant story of the time. But then
Labour<00:13:20.000> come<00:13:20.160> in<00:13:20.560> and<00:13:20.880> you<00:13:21.120> get<00:13:21.360> this<00:13:21.839> even
essentially which is in this country
we've<00:13:28.800> only<00:13:28.959> had<00:13:29.120> one<00:13:30.000> we've<00:13:30.240> only<00:13:30.399> had<00:13:30.560> two
political parties in power for nearly
100<00:13:32.560> years<00:13:33.040> essentially<00:13:34.000> and<00:13:34.720> one<00:13:34.959> of<00:13:35.040> them
was massively discredited then the other
one<00:13:37.200> comes<00:13:37.440> in<00:13:38.560> basically<00:13:39.279> purely<00:13:39.680> on<00:13:39.839> the
one comes in basically purely on the
story<00:13:40.160> of<00:13:40.320> we<00:13:40.560> are<00:13:40.720> not<00:13:41.040> the<00:13:41.279> first<00:13:41.519> party<00:13:41.920> and
they become massively discredited and
really<00:13:44.560> you<00:13:44.720> end<00:13:44.800> up<00:13:44.959> in<00:13:45.040> a<00:13:45.200> situation<00:13:45.600> of
whoever can control the media salience
whoever<00:13:48.000> has<00:13:48.160> the<00:13:48.320> biggest<00:13:48.560> story<00:13:48.800> of<00:13:48.959> being
new and different will become prime
minister.<00:13:53.200> And<00:13:53.440> if<00:13:53.600> you<00:13:53.680> look<00:13:53.760> at<00:13:53.920> the
situation now, it was always pretty
clear<00:13:57.360> that<00:13:57.920> Nigel<00:13:58.320> Faraj<00:13:58.639> and<00:13:58.800> reform<00:13:59.120> and
clear that Nigel Faraj and reform and
the<00:13:59.279> far<00:13:59.440> right<00:13:59.680> would<00:13:59.839> win.<00:14:00.160> And<00:14:00.320> I<00:14:00.480> want<00:14:00.560> to
the far right would win. And I want to
be<00:14:00.800> clear<00:14:00.959> when<00:14:01.199> I<00:14:01.360> say<00:14:01.440> that<00:14:02.079> this<00:14:02.320> is<00:14:02.399> not<00:14:02.720> all
be clear when I say that this is not all
UK<00:14:03.199> specific.<00:14:03.600> The<00:14:03.839> same<00:14:03.920> thing<00:14:04.000> is<00:14:04.240> happening
UK specific. The same thing is happening
in<00:14:04.959> basically<00:14:05.440> every<00:14:05.680> country<00:14:05.839> in<00:14:06.000> the<00:14:06.160> entire
in basically every country in the entire
western<00:14:06.800> world.<00:14:08.079> When<00:14:08.320> your<00:14:08.480> center<00:14:08.800> left<00:14:09.120> has
western world. When your center left has
no<00:14:09.920> story<00:14:10.399> and<00:14:10.720> your<00:14:10.880> center<00:14:11.199> right<00:14:11.519> has<00:14:11.680> no
no story and your center right has no
story,<00:14:12.639> really<00:14:12.959> anyone<00:14:13.440> else<00:14:13.600> who<00:14:13.920> has<00:14:14.079> a
your president's or prime minister's
office.<00:14:19.920> So<00:14:20.240> that<00:14:20.480> is<00:14:20.560> where<00:14:20.720> we<00:14:20.959> are
basically um we have this collapsing
economy.<00:14:24.000> We<00:14:24.240> have<00:14:24.320> this<00:14:24.560> vacuum<00:14:24.880> of<00:14:25.120> stories
economy. We have this vacuum of stories
and<00:14:25.920> it<00:14:26.079> becomes<00:14:26.480> in<00:14:26.639> a<00:14:26.800> bizarre<00:14:27.279> way<00:14:27.680> like
fantastically easy to become president
or<00:14:30.320> prime<00:14:30.560> minister<00:14:31.199> and<00:14:31.360> that<00:14:31.519> is<00:14:31.680> why<00:14:31.760> you're
or prime minister and that is why you're
seeing<00:14:32.240> across<00:14:32.560> the<00:14:32.720> world<00:14:33.279> sort<00:14:33.440> of<00:14:33.600> random
seeing across the world sort of random
guys<00:14:34.240> who<00:14:34.399> are<00:14:34.560> not<00:14:34.720> even<00:14:35.040> politicians<00:14:35.760> were
becoming president becoming prime
minister<00:14:42.240> you<00:14:42.399> know<00:14:42.480> you<00:14:42.639> saw<00:14:42.880> macaron<00:14:43.279> in
minister you know you saw macaron in
France<00:14:43.839> we<00:14:44.000> saw<00:14:44.880> Trump<00:14:45.120> in<00:14:45.360> the<00:14:45.440> US<00:14:45.839> we've<00:14:46.079> seen
France we saw Trump in the US we've seen
the<00:14:46.399> collapse<00:14:46.800> of<00:14:47.120> you<00:14:47.279> know<00:14:47.360> we've<00:14:47.519> seen<00:14:47.680> the
when the economy is collapsing, anyone
who<00:14:57.920> can<00:14:58.160> tell<00:14:58.320> a<00:14:58.560> compelling<00:14:59.040> story<00:15:00.160> will<00:15:00.480> be
who can tell a compelling story will be
able<00:15:00.800> to<00:15:01.360> take<00:15:01.600> control<00:15:01.839> of<00:15:02.000> that<00:15:02.240> country.
able to take control of that country.
And<00:15:02.880> the<00:15:03.120> problem<00:15:03.279> with<00:15:03.440> that<00:15:03.600> at<00:15:03.760> the<00:15:03.920> moment
And the problem with that at the moment
is<00:15:04.800> really<00:15:05.519> if<00:15:05.760> you<00:15:05.920> look<00:15:06.160> around<00:15:06.560> the
is really if you look around the
political<00:15:07.279> world<00:15:08.240> at<00:15:08.480> the<00:15:08.639> moment,<00:15:09.519> there<00:15:09.839> are
political world at the moment, there are
basically<00:15:11.199> no<00:15:12.399> loud<00:15:13.760> stories<00:15:14.720> other<00:15:14.959> than<00:15:15.120> the
basically no loud stories other than the
far<00:15:15.600> right.<00:15:16.320> So<00:15:16.560> the<00:15:16.720> far<00:15:16.959> right<00:15:17.279> has<00:15:17.920> like<00:15:18.160> a
Like if I were to pull someone in in my
country<00:15:21.680> and<00:15:21.839> say,<00:15:21.920> "What<00:15:22.160> do<00:15:22.240> you<00:15:22.320> think
country and say, "What do you think
Nigel<00:15:22.880> Farage<00:15:23.839> or<00:15:24.079> reform<00:15:24.480> stand<00:15:24.720> for?<00:15:24.959> What
Nigel Farage or reform stand for? What
do<00:15:25.199> they<00:15:25.360> believe?"<00:15:26.000> If<00:15:26.160> I<00:15:26.320> did<00:15:26.480> the<00:15:26.639> same
thing in your country, wherever you
were,<00:15:28.639> people<00:15:28.880> would<00:15:29.120> know.<00:15:29.360> They<00:15:29.519> say<00:15:29.680> they
were, people would know. They say they
want<00:15:30.160> there<00:15:30.320> to<00:15:30.399> be<00:15:30.480> lower<00:15:30.800> immigration.<00:15:31.600> They
want there to be lower immigration. They
want<00:15:32.000> there<00:15:32.240> to<00:15:32.399> be<00:15:32.880> fewer<00:15:33.360> asylum<00:15:33.839> seekers.
want there to be fewer asylum seekers.
You<00:15:34.800> know<00:15:34.959> that<00:15:35.199> that's<00:15:35.519> like<00:15:36.320> that's<00:15:36.560> what
You know that that's like that's what
they<00:15:36.880> want.<00:15:37.279> It's<00:15:37.440> really<00:15:37.680> really<00:15:37.920> clear.<00:15:38.160> But
if I was to ask somebody, what is the
story<00:15:40.480> of<00:15:41.279> Labour<00:15:41.760> or<00:15:42.000> Karma<00:15:42.720> in<00:15:42.880> this
story of Labour or Karma in this
country?<00:15:43.199> If<00:15:43.360> I<00:15:43.440> was<00:15:43.600> to<00:15:43.680> ask<00:15:43.839> somebody<00:15:44.160> what

is<00:15:44.399> the<00:15:44.560> story<00:15:44.720> of<00:15:44.880> the<00:15:45.040> Democrats<00:15:45.600> in<00:15:45.839> your
is the story of the Democrats in your
country?<00:15:46.720> um<00:15:47.600> I<00:15:47.839> don't<00:15:48.000> think<00:15:48.079> they<00:15:48.320> would

anymore you go on on there. There's a
lot<00:16:17.120> of<00:16:17.279> hand<00:16:17.519> ringing<00:16:18.000> about<00:16:18.320> the<00:16:18.560> failures
Conservative Party, the the failures of
the<00:16:24.639> far<00:16:24.880> right<00:16:25.199> reform<00:16:25.600> and<00:16:25.759> Nigel<00:16:26.160> Farage

system, what is their story? What is
their<00:16:37.040> story?<00:16:37.440> I<00:16:37.680> mean,<00:16:38.160> I<00:16:38.480> think<00:16:38.800> it<00:16:38.959> it<00:16:39.360> seems
to be largely about criticizing other
groups.<00:16:42.800> Um,<00:16:43.279> so<00:16:43.440> that<00:16:43.600> that's<00:16:43.839> where<00:16:44.000> we<00:16:44.160> are,
groups. Um, so that that's where we are,
you<00:16:44.480> know.<00:16:44.560> You<00:16:44.720> know,<00:16:44.800> if<00:16:44.959> we<00:16:45.120> talk<00:16:45.279> about<00:16:45.360> the
you know. You know, if we talk about the

left, if I was to bring someone in on
the<00:16:47.360> street<00:16:47.519> and<00:16:47.680> say,<00:16:47.759> "What<00:16:48.000> do<00:16:48.079> you<00:16:48.240> think?"
the street and say, "What do you think?"
You<00:16:48.560> know,<00:16:49.120> the<00:16:49.279> left<00:16:49.680> believes<00:16:50.079> in<00:16:50.240> this
You know, the left believes in this
country,<00:16:50.800> what<00:16:50.959> is<00:16:51.040> their<00:16:51.279> story?<00:16:51.839> Um,<00:16:52.240> you
know, differentiate a little between the
center<00:16:54.639> and<00:16:54.800> the<00:16:54.959> center<00:16:55.199> left<00:16:55.360> and<00:16:55.519> the<00:16:55.680> left.
The center right, the conservatives are
basically<00:16:59.120> dead.<00:16:59.920> Really,<00:17:00.240> what<00:17:00.480> you<00:17:00.639> have<00:17:00.800> is
basically dead. Really, what you have is
you<00:17:01.600> only<00:17:01.920> have<00:17:02.079> one<00:17:02.399> group<00:17:02.959> that<00:17:03.600> has<00:17:04.000> a<00:17:04.240> story
you only have one group that has a story
and<00:17:05.199> people<00:17:05.439> get<00:17:05.600> behind<00:17:05.839> that<00:17:06.079> story.<00:17:06.400> They
and people get behind that story. They
support<00:17:06.799> that<00:17:07.039> story<00:17:07.280> and<00:17:07.520> in<00:17:07.679> the<00:17:07.839> absence<00:17:08.079> of
support that story and in the absence of
competing<00:17:08.720> stories,<00:17:09.679> basically<00:17:10.160> you<00:17:10.400> win.<00:17:10.880> So
competing stories, basically you win. So
we<00:17:11.360> have<00:17:11.520> this<00:17:12.720> period<00:17:13.039> of<00:17:13.199> time<00:17:13.439> where
storytelling and yet seemingly no group
in<00:17:20.640> society<00:17:21.520> other<00:17:21.760> than<00:17:21.839> the<00:17:22.079> far<00:17:22.319> right<00:17:22.880> has
in society other than the far right has
been<00:17:23.520> able<00:17:23.760> or<00:17:24.000> is<00:17:24.240> able<00:17:24.799> to<00:17:25.120> tell<00:17:25.439> a
important concepts that you need to
understand<00:17:31.919> if<00:17:32.160> you<00:17:32.240> want<00:17:32.320> to<00:17:32.480> take<00:17:32.799> political
power salience and storytelling. I want
to<00:17:36.240> talk<00:17:36.480> about<00:17:36.640> another<00:17:37.039> element<00:17:37.440> which<00:17:38.000> um
to talk about another element which um
the<00:17:38.480> far<00:17:38.720> right<00:17:38.960> and<00:17:39.120> the<00:17:39.520> um<00:17:39.760> the<00:17:40.000> refugee
the far right and the um the refugee
protesters<00:17:41.280> have<00:17:41.919> have<00:17:42.240> done<00:17:42.480> really<00:17:42.799> well<00:17:43.280> in
of these protests which which they're
very<00:17:48.000> regular<00:17:48.240> now<00:17:48.400> is<00:17:48.640> super<00:17:48.880> super<00:17:49.120> close<00:17:49.280> to
very regular now is super super close to
where<00:17:49.520> I<00:17:49.679> live<00:17:49.919> and<00:17:50.000> and<00:17:50.240> I<00:17:50.400> went<00:17:50.559> down<00:17:50.720> there
where I live and and I went down there
with<00:17:51.039> with<00:17:51.360> Jack<00:17:51.600> the<00:17:51.760> cameraman<00:17:52.559> who<00:17:52.799> films
with with Jack the cameraman who films
these<00:17:53.360> videos<00:17:53.600> a<00:17:53.840> few<00:17:54.000> weeks<00:17:54.160> ago.<00:17:54.640> Um<00:17:55.679> to<00:17:55.919> be
these videos a few weeks ago. Um to be
honest<00:17:56.480> more<00:17:56.640> than<00:17:56.799> anything<00:17:57.120> just<00:17:57.200> to<00:17:57.440> sort
honest more than anything just to sort
of<00:17:58.720> witness<00:17:59.120> what<00:17:59.360> was<00:17:59.520> happening<00:17:59.919> because<00:18:00.400> um
of witness what was happening because um
I<00:18:01.679> was<00:18:01.840> worried<00:18:02.320> I<00:18:02.480> am<00:18:02.640> worried<00:18:02.960> about<00:18:03.200> this
I was worried I am worried about this
sort<00:18:03.600> of<00:18:03.760> growing<00:18:04.160> growing<00:18:04.559> movement.<00:18:05.120> Um<00:18:06.080> and
sort of growing growing movement. Um and
one<00:18:06.559> thing<00:18:06.640> that<00:18:06.799> I<00:18:06.960> found<00:18:07.200> really<00:18:07.440> really
one thing that I found really really
interesting<00:18:08.000> that<00:18:08.240> I<00:18:08.400> saw<00:18:08.559> there<00:18:09.120> was<00:18:09.360> there
the protesters. Um the number of
protesters<00:18:20.559> was<00:18:20.880> not<00:18:21.200> that<00:18:21.440> huge<00:18:21.760> but<00:18:22.000> what
protesters was not that huge but what
there<00:18:22.400> were<00:18:22.640> a<00:18:22.799> huge<00:18:23.120> number<00:18:23.280> of<00:18:23.679> was<00:18:24.799> citizen
there were a huge number of was citizen
journalists.<00:18:26.320> And<00:18:26.480> what<00:18:26.640> I<00:18:26.799> mean<00:18:26.880> when<00:18:26.960> I<00:18:27.039> say
uploading the video to Facebook. And
there<00:18:41.760> were<00:18:41.919> loads<00:18:42.080> and<00:18:42.240> loads<00:18:42.480> and<00:18:42.640> loads<00:18:42.799> of
there were loads and loads and loads of
these<00:18:43.120> guys.<00:18:43.440> Um<00:18:43.679> and<00:18:43.840> it<00:18:44.000> was<00:18:44.080> really<00:18:44.320> really
noticeable how much media presence there
was<00:18:48.480> relative<00:18:48.880> to<00:18:50.000> what<00:18:50.320> was<00:18:50.559> actually<00:18:50.880> a
relatively small protest. And I think
what<00:18:55.120> that<00:18:55.440> shows<00:18:56.160> is<00:18:56.559> basically<00:18:57.120> that<00:18:57.520> the
what that shows is basically that the
the<00:18:58.240> far<00:18:58.480> right<00:18:58.880> has<00:18:59.200> done<00:19:00.480> a<00:19:00.720> much<00:19:00.960> better<00:19:01.280> job
the far right has done a much better job
in<00:19:01.760> a<00:19:02.000> sense<00:19:02.559> of<00:19:03.039> understanding<00:19:04.320> storytelling
and salience and also understanding a
thing<00:19:08.160> which<00:19:08.320> I've<00:19:08.559> spoken<00:19:08.880> about<00:19:08.960> a<00:19:09.200> lot<00:19:09.280> on
thing which I've spoken about a lot on
this<00:19:09.679> channel<00:19:10.880> which<00:19:11.120> is<00:19:11.280> the<00:19:11.520> need<00:19:11.679> to<00:19:11.919> be
this channel which is the need to be
present<00:19:13.280> online.<00:19:14.000> So<00:19:14.160> I<00:19:14.400> think<00:19:14.480> a<00:19:14.720> thing<00:19:14.880> has
media especially politics media in the
last<00:19:19.360> few<00:19:19.600> years<00:19:19.840> which<00:19:20.000> is<00:19:20.160> there<00:19:20.240> is<00:19:20.400> there
last few years which is there is there
has<00:19:20.720> been<00:19:20.799> a<00:19:20.960> massive<00:19:21.280> shift<00:19:21.679> towards<00:19:22.799> online
media. I think this has really
accelerated<00:19:24.880> during<00:19:25.200> co<00:19:25.679> which<00:19:25.919> is<00:19:26.080> more<00:19:26.240> and
accelerated during co which is more and
more<00:19:26.480> and<00:19:26.640> more<00:19:26.880> people<00:19:27.600> want<00:19:27.840> to<00:19:28.000> get<00:19:28.160> their
more and more people want to get their
news<00:19:29.200> online<00:19:30.480> on<00:19:30.720> Instagram<00:19:31.280> on<00:19:31.520> YouTube<00:19:32.080> on
news online on Instagram on YouTube on
Facebook<00:19:33.200> and<00:19:33.520> it<00:19:33.760> has<00:19:33.919> created<00:19:34.320> this<00:19:34.720> real
Sky News, the existing political bodies
have<00:19:46.880> just<00:19:47.039> been<00:19:47.200> slow<00:19:47.440> to<00:19:47.600> move<00:19:47.760> into<00:19:48.080> it.<00:19:48.880> And
vast majority of them won't get anything
like<00:19:57.280> the<00:19:57.440> number<00:19:57.600> of<00:19:57.840> views<00:19:58.080> that<00:19:58.320> we<00:19:58.559> get<00:19:58.960> on
like the number of views that we get on
this<00:19:59.440> video<00:19:59.679> that<00:19:59.840> we<00:20:00.000> go<00:20:00.160> on<00:20:00.320> our<00:20:00.559> channel.
this video that we go on our channel.
But<00:20:01.919> the<00:20:02.240> way<00:20:02.320> that<00:20:02.559> they<00:20:02.799> succeed<00:20:03.280> is<00:20:03.520> that
But the way that they succeed is that
there<00:20:04.000> is<00:20:04.160> simply<00:20:04.559> an<00:20:04.799> enormous<00:20:05.520> amount<00:20:05.840> of
there is simply an enormous amount of
them.<00:20:06.480> And<00:20:06.720> I<00:20:06.880> think<00:20:06.960> what<00:20:07.200> this<00:20:07.440> shows<00:20:08.320> is<00:20:08.799> in
them. And I think what this shows is in
a<00:20:09.200> in<00:20:09.360> a<00:20:09.520> weird<00:20:09.760> way<00:20:10.400> is<00:20:10.640> kind<00:20:10.799> of
inspirational because I've been saying
for<00:20:12.720> a<00:20:12.880> long<00:20:13.039> time,<00:20:13.919> you<00:20:14.080> know,<00:20:14.240> I<00:20:14.400> made<00:20:14.559> the
for a long time, you know, I made the
decision<00:20:15.440> rather<00:20:15.760> than<00:20:15.919> writing<00:20:16.160> for<00:20:16.400> the<00:20:16.559> big
decision rather than writing for the big
newspapers<00:20:17.520> to<00:20:17.840> try<00:20:18.000> to<00:20:18.240> do<00:20:18.799> a<00:20:19.039> push<00:20:19.280> for
newspapers to try to do a push for
online<00:20:19.840> and<00:20:20.080> a<00:20:20.240> push<00:20:20.400> for<00:20:20.640> social<00:20:20.960> because<00:20:21.120> I
online and a push for social because I
felt<00:20:21.440> that<00:20:21.600> that's<00:20:21.840> where<00:20:22.080> people<00:20:22.320> were.<00:20:22.960> And
our viewers, you to create more yourself
and<00:20:28.240> to<00:20:28.400> make<00:20:28.559> more<00:20:28.799> videos<00:20:29.039> yourself<00:20:29.360> and
and to make more videos yourself and
throw<00:20:29.919> things<00:20:30.080> out<00:20:30.320> there.<00:20:31.360> And<00:20:31.760> that<00:20:32.000> is
basically because people are online
nowadays<00:20:35.200> and<00:20:35.440> there<00:20:35.679> is<00:20:35.919> there's<00:20:36.240> this<00:20:36.559> this
nowadays and there is there's this this
massive<00:20:37.280> space.<00:20:37.679> I<00:20:37.919> think<00:20:38.080> what<00:20:38.320> you<00:20:38.480> see<00:20:38.640> is
interesting things. Stories are kind of
like<00:20:44.640> they're<00:20:44.960> like<00:20:45.120> a<00:20:45.280> computer<00:20:45.600> virus<00:20:46.080> in<00:20:46.320> a
like they're like a computer virus in a
way.<00:20:46.960> Like<00:20:47.200> we<00:20:47.440> like<00:20:47.600> to<00:20:47.760> think<00:20:47.919> that<00:20:48.080> the
way. Like we like to think that the
media<00:20:49.440> comes<00:20:49.679> in<00:20:49.919> and<00:20:50.159> decides<00:20:50.960> what<00:20:51.440> stories
media comes in and decides what stories
get<00:20:52.240> placed<00:20:52.640> where.<00:20:53.600> But<00:20:53.760> as<00:20:54.000> the<00:20:54.159> media<00:20:54.400> has
get placed where. But as the media has
lost<00:20:54.880> power<00:20:55.039> and<00:20:55.200> people<00:20:55.360> have<00:20:55.520> moved<00:20:55.760> online,
lost power and people have moved online,
you're<00:20:56.799> kind<00:20:56.960> of<00:20:57.120> seeing<00:20:58.320> it's<00:20:58.640> more<00:20:58.880> like<00:20:58.960> a
you're kind of seeing it's more like a
kind<00:20:59.360> of<00:20:59.520> like<00:20:59.679> a<00:20:59.840> virus<00:21:00.159> model<00:21:00.480> almost<00:21:00.720> like
kind of like a virus model almost like
this<00:21:01.039> co<00:21:01.440> model<00:21:01.760> which<00:21:02.000> is<00:21:02.480> if<00:21:02.799> enough<00:21:03.200> people
this co model which is if enough people
get<00:21:03.600> out<00:21:03.760> there<00:21:03.919> and<00:21:04.159> spread<00:21:04.400> it,<00:21:04.880> it<00:21:05.039> can
get out there and spread it, it can
spread<00:21:05.520> really<00:21:05.760> really<00:21:06.080> quickly<00:21:06.720> and<00:21:07.039> you<00:21:07.200> can
spread really really quickly and you can
you<00:21:07.600> can<00:21:07.760> dominate<00:21:08.159> the<00:21:08.400> salience<00:21:08.880> of<00:21:09.039> a
subject without necessarily having that
top<00:21:11.840> level<00:21:12.080> media<00:21:12.400> support.<00:21:12.880> And<00:21:13.039> I<00:21:13.200> think
top level media support. And I think
that<00:21:13.440> is<00:21:13.520> what<00:21:13.600> the<00:21:13.760> farright<00:21:14.159> have<00:21:14.320> done
super super super well. And they've
created<00:21:17.120> this<00:21:17.360> kind<00:21:17.600> of<00:21:18.880> I<00:21:19.120> mean<00:21:19.280> obviously
created this kind of I mean obviously
they<00:21:21.120> do<00:21:21.280> have<00:21:21.440> media<00:21:21.840> support,<00:21:22.159> they<00:21:22.320> do<00:21:22.400> have
financial support. You have things like
GB<00:21:24.320> News<00:21:24.559> in<00:21:24.799> this<00:21:24.960> country<00:21:25.520> which<00:21:25.919> is<00:21:26.400> you
GB News in this country which is you
know<00:21:26.640> a<00:21:26.880> very<00:21:27.039> well<00:21:27.280> funded<00:21:27.760> lossmaking<00:21:28.960> media
ideas. You have obviously people like
Elon<00:21:32.960> Musk<00:21:33.280> buying<00:21:33.600> things<00:21:33.760> like<00:21:33.919> Twitter<00:21:34.720> but
they have really effectively spread
these<00:21:37.600> messages<00:21:38.640> from<00:21:38.880> the<00:21:39.120> ground<00:21:39.360> up<00:21:39.840> from
these messages from the ground up from
the<00:21:40.240> bottom.<00:21:41.520> And<00:21:41.840> I<00:21:42.080> think<00:21:42.720> really<00:21:43.200> we<00:21:43.520> need
the bottom. And I think really we need
to<00:21:43.679> learn<00:21:43.840> a<00:21:44.000> lesson<00:21:44.240> from<00:21:44.480> these<00:21:44.720> guys<00:21:45.600> which
to learn a lesson from these guys which
is<00:21:47.039> I<00:21:47.280> think<00:21:47.840> people<00:21:48.159> like<00:21:48.799> me<00:21:49.520> I<00:21:49.760> need<00:21:49.919> to<00:21:50.080> be
constantly making these ideas these
messages<00:21:52.880> these<00:21:54.080> the<00:21:54.400> idea<00:21:54.559> that<00:21:54.799> the<00:21:54.960> problem
standards will get worse because of
growing<00:21:59.280> inequality.<00:21:59.919> I<00:22:00.080> need<00:22:00.159> to<00:22:00.320> make<00:22:00.400> that
growing inequality. I need to make that
as<00:22:00.799> simple<00:22:01.039> as<00:22:01.280> possible<00:22:01.919> again<00:22:02.159> and<00:22:02.400> again
as simple as possible again and again
and<00:22:02.799> again<00:22:03.360> so<00:22:03.600> that<00:22:03.840> people<00:22:04.000> like<00:22:04.159> you<00:22:04.559> can
and again so that people like you can
take<00:22:04.960> the<00:22:05.120> message<00:22:05.440> and<00:22:05.760> run<00:22:06.000> with<00:22:06.159> it.<00:22:06.880> I
take the message and run with it. I
think<00:22:07.200> what<00:22:07.440> you've<00:22:07.679> seen<00:22:08.240> also<00:22:08.480> with<00:22:08.720> these
popular on Instagram. We're popular with
like<00:22:17.280> basically<00:22:17.679> younger<00:22:18.000> people,<00:22:18.320> people<00:22:18.480> in
like basically younger people, people in
their<00:22:18.720> 20s,<00:22:19.120> 30s,<00:22:19.520> 40s.<00:22:20.240> We're<00:22:20.480> less<00:22:20.720> popular
their 20s, 30s, 40s. We're less popular
with<00:22:21.280> older<00:22:21.600> people<00:22:21.679> in<00:22:21.919> their<00:22:22.080> 50s<00:22:22.400> or<00:22:22.640> 60s.
with older people in their 50s or 60s.
Um<00:22:24.080> and<00:22:24.320> that<00:22:24.480> is<00:22:24.640> largely<00:22:25.039> because<00:22:25.280> those
Um and that is largely because those
guys<00:22:25.679> are<00:22:25.840> on<00:22:26.000> Facebook<00:22:26.320> and<00:22:26.559> we<00:22:26.720> are<00:22:26.880> not
popular on Facebook basically. So what
you<00:22:29.679> have<00:22:29.840> seen<00:22:30.159> is<00:22:30.799> and<00:22:31.039> this<00:22:31.200> is<00:22:31.360> the<00:22:31.520> the
you have seen is and this is the the
last<00:22:32.000> concept<00:22:32.320> I<00:22:32.559> need<00:22:32.640> to<00:22:32.799> add<00:22:32.960> before<00:22:33.200> I<00:22:33.360> get
everybody the problem is immigrants get
everybody<00:22:51.360> down<00:22:51.520> to<00:22:51.760> the<00:22:51.919> protests<00:22:52.480> make<00:22:52.720> your
everybody down to the protests make your
videos<00:22:53.520> put<00:22:53.760> them<00:22:53.919> on<00:22:54.080> Facebook<00:22:54.720> tell<00:22:54.960> your
videos put them on Facebook tell your
friends<00:22:55.600> tell<00:22:55.760> your<00:22:55.919> family<00:22:56.320> tell<00:22:56.480> your<00:22:56.640> mom
friends tell your family tell your mom
and<00:22:57.280> what<00:22:57.520> you've<00:22:57.760> basically<00:22:58.240> seen<00:22:59.440> is<00:22:59.919> the
far right using basically exactly the
model<00:23:03.919> that<00:23:04.080> I've<00:23:04.320> been<00:23:04.480> saying<00:23:04.640> we<00:23:04.880> need<00:23:04.960> to
model that I've been saying we need to
do<00:23:05.280> for<00:23:05.520> years,<00:23:06.000> which<00:23:06.240> is<00:23:07.120> we<00:23:07.360> put<00:23:07.520> a<00:23:07.679> message
do for years, which is we put a message
out<00:23:08.000> on<00:23:08.159> here<00:23:08.320> and<00:23:08.559> all<00:23:08.799> of<00:23:08.880> you<00:23:09.120> take<00:23:09.360> it,<00:23:09.840> run
out on here and all of you take it, run
with<00:23:10.320> it,<00:23:10.720> make<00:23:10.880> your<00:23:11.039> own<00:23:11.280> videos,<00:23:11.760> spread<00:23:12.000> it
in your community, spread it amongst
your<00:23:13.679> family.<00:23:14.159> And<00:23:14.320> what<00:23:14.559> they're<00:23:14.799> shown<00:23:15.039> is
your family. And what they're shown is
it<00:23:16.400> works.<00:23:17.280> It<00:23:17.520> works.<00:23:18.080> And<00:23:18.559> um<00:23:19.440> we<00:23:19.760> need<00:23:19.840> to<00:23:20.000> do
it works. It works. And um we need to do
it.<00:23:20.320> We<00:23:20.480> need<00:23:20.559> to<00:23:20.640> do<00:23:20.720> it<00:23:20.880> better.<00:23:21.039> We<00:23:21.200> need<00:23:21.280> to
it. We need to do it better. We need to
copy<00:23:21.679> them.<00:23:22.080> So<00:23:22.400> to<00:23:22.640> be<00:23:22.799> clear<00:23:23.039> here,<00:23:24.320> I<00:23:24.640> am
copy them. So to be clear here, I am
trying<00:23:25.039> to<00:23:25.200> make<00:23:25.360> a<00:23:25.520> pitch<00:23:26.320> that<00:23:26.880> essentially
trying to make a pitch that essentially
this<00:23:28.799> needs<00:23:29.039> to<00:23:29.200> be<00:23:29.280> the<00:23:29.520> story.<00:23:30.480> The<00:23:30.720> story
this needs to be the story. The story
needs<00:23:31.280> to<00:23:31.440> be<00:23:32.880> growing<00:23:33.200> inequality<00:23:33.679> of<00:23:33.840> wealth
billionaires, your kids will be poor.
We've<00:23:39.440> got<00:23:39.600> plenty<00:23:39.840> of<00:23:39.919> videos<00:23:40.240> out<00:23:40.400> there
We've got plenty of videos out there
that<00:23:40.720> I<00:23:40.880> think<00:23:41.039> support<00:23:41.280> that<00:23:41.520> story.<00:23:42.159> The
that I think support that story. The
best<00:23:42.480> ones<00:23:42.720> are<00:23:42.960> probably<00:23:43.120> the<00:23:43.360> squeeze<00:23:43.760> out
best ones are probably the squeeze out
or<00:23:44.320> the<00:23:44.480> the<00:23:44.799> Channel<00:23:45.039> 4<00:23:45.280> video<00:23:45.520> with
or the the Channel 4 video with
Christian<00:23:45.919> G<00:23:46.240> Murphy.<00:23:46.880> But<00:23:47.039> we<00:23:47.280> need<00:23:47.760> to<00:23:48.000> get
Christian G Murphy. But we need to get
behind<00:23:48.400> this.<00:23:48.640> We<00:23:48.799> need<00:23:49.360> discipline.<00:23:50.000> Um,<00:23:50.640> and
I want this video
really,<00:23:55.200> this<00:23:55.360> is<00:23:55.520> a<00:23:55.840> a<00:23:56.240> call<00:23:56.400> out<00:23:56.720> to<00:23:57.039> to<00:23:57.360> the
really, this is a a call out to to the
left,<00:23:58.000> to<00:23:58.240> the<00:23:58.400> center,<00:23:58.880> to<00:23:59.120> the<00:23:59.200> centrist
left, to the center, to the centrist
dads.<00:24:00.880> If<00:24:01.120> you<00:24:01.280> want<00:24:01.360> to<00:24:01.520> stop<00:24:01.760> Nigel<00:24:02.080> Farage
dads. If you want to stop Nigel Farage
from<00:24:02.640> winning<00:24:02.799> the<00:24:02.960> next<00:24:03.120> election,<00:24:03.919> you<00:24:04.240> need
from winning the next election, you need
to<00:24:05.120> get<00:24:05.360> behind<00:24:05.840> a<00:24:06.159> story.<00:24:06.799> Um,<00:24:07.120> you<00:24:07.360> need<00:24:07.520> a
to get behind a story. Um, you need a
story.<00:24:08.240> Um,<00:24:08.720> I<00:24:09.039> think<00:24:09.600> we<00:24:09.840> are<00:24:10.720> the<00:24:10.960> second
story. Um, I think we are the second
loudest<00:24:11.760> story<00:24:12.000> in<00:24:12.159> the<00:24:12.320> room.<00:24:12.720> I<00:24:12.960> think<00:24:13.039> we
loudest story in the room. I think we
are<00:24:13.440> a<00:24:13.600> story<00:24:13.760> that<00:24:14.000> can<00:24:14.159> win,<00:24:15.039> but<00:24:15.360> we<00:24:15.520> need
are a story that can win, but we need
you<00:24:15.760> to<00:24:15.919> get<00:24:16.000> behind<00:24:16.320> it.<00:24:16.640> We<00:24:16.880> need<00:24:17.039> some
you to get behind it. We need some
measure<00:24:17.440> of<00:24:17.600> discipline.<00:24:18.240> We<00:24:18.480> need<00:24:18.720> people<00:24:18.880> to
measure of discipline. We need people to
be<00:24:19.279> willing<00:24:19.520> to<00:24:20.720> put<00:24:20.880> their<00:24:21.039> egos<00:24:21.440> down<00:24:21.600> for<00:24:21.760> a
little bit. Pick the message that's
going<00:24:24.400> to<00:24:24.480> win.<00:24:25.039> Get<00:24:25.200> behind<00:24:25.600> it.<00:24:26.080> Get<00:24:26.240> out
there. Make the videos. Get spreading
it.<00:24:28.720> Because<00:24:28.960> if<00:24:29.120> we<00:24:29.279> do<00:24:29.360> not<00:24:29.520> win<00:24:29.600> the<00:24:29.760> battle
it. Because if we do not win the battle
for<00:24:30.080> salience,<00:24:31.039> we<00:24:31.279> will<00:24:31.520> lose<00:24:32.080> the<00:24:32.400> control
for salience, we will lose the control
of<00:24:32.799> the<00:24:32.960> country.<00:24:33.600> The<00:24:33.840> last<00:24:34.000> thing<00:24:34.080> I<00:24:34.320> wanted
of the country. The last thing I wanted
to<00:24:34.559> talk<00:24:34.640> about<00:24:34.799> was<00:24:35.039> introduce<00:24:35.360> this<00:24:35.600> concept
to talk about was introduce this concept
of<00:24:36.000> a<00:24:36.240> bifocated<00:24:36.960> society.<00:24:37.600> And<00:24:37.840> this<00:24:38.000> is
something which I've been thinking about
a<00:24:39.440> lot<00:24:39.600> recently,<00:24:40.159> which<00:24:40.400> is<00:24:40.559> the<00:24:40.720> idea<00:24:41.039> that
it kind of splits society into two
groups,<00:24:46.960> which<00:24:47.200> is<00:24:47.600> wealth<00:24:47.919> gets<00:24:48.159> sucked<00:24:48.559> out
groups, which is wealth gets sucked out
of<00:24:49.679> ordinary<00:24:50.159> families<00:24:50.480> and<00:24:50.720> they<00:24:50.960> start<00:24:51.120> to
of ordinary families and they start to
become<00:24:51.600> poor.<00:24:52.400> But<00:24:52.480> you<00:24:52.720> have<00:24:52.880> this<00:24:53.600> group<00:24:53.760> of
become poor. But you have this group of
societies,<00:24:54.559> this<00:24:54.720> group<00:24:54.880> of<00:24:55.039> families<00:24:55.279> at<00:24:55.440> the
top which become unbelievably wealthy.
And<00:24:57.520> as<00:24:57.679> the<00:24:57.840> top<00:24:58.000> gets<00:24:58.240> richer<00:24:58.640> and<00:24:58.880> the<00:24:59.039> rest
get poorer, these groups kind of
separate<00:25:01.840> off<00:25:02.080> from<00:25:02.240> one<00:25:02.400> another.<00:25:03.520> And<00:25:03.760> what
separate off from one another. And what
that<00:25:04.240> leads<00:25:04.559> to<00:25:04.799> is<00:25:04.960> a<00:25:05.200> situation<00:25:05.600> where<00:25:06.559> all
people's lives. And it makes them
basically<00:25:19.360> unable<00:25:19.760> to<00:25:20.000> sort<00:25:20.159> of<00:25:20.559> view<00:25:20.799> these
thinking about this more through going
to<00:25:25.440> these<00:25:25.600> protests<00:25:25.919> and<00:25:26.159> talking<00:25:26.320> to<00:25:26.480> people
to these protests and talking to people
at<00:25:26.799> the<00:25:26.880> protests<00:25:27.360> because<00:25:27.679> what<00:25:27.840> I<00:25:28.000> found
at the protests because what I found
when<00:25:28.320> I<00:25:28.480> went<00:25:28.559> to<00:25:28.720> the<00:25:28.880> protests<00:25:29.440> was<00:25:30.799> a<00:25:31.120> lot<00:25:31.200> of
have had a very difficult time in the
last<00:25:35.279> few<00:25:35.440> years<00:25:35.919> um<00:25:36.000> and<00:25:36.240> in<00:25:36.400> particular<00:25:36.720> had
last few years um and in particular had
a<00:25:36.960> difficult<00:25:37.200> time<00:25:37.440> during<00:25:37.760> CO<00:25:38.080> and<00:25:38.320> since<00:25:38.559> CO
that have become very very distrustful
of<00:25:43.120> the<00:25:43.360> societies<00:25:44.159> that<00:25:44.400> they<00:25:44.559> live<00:25:44.720> in.<00:25:46.080> And
what struck me really was
how<00:25:49.440> in<00:25:49.679> many<00:25:49.919> cases<00:25:50.640> they<00:25:50.880> were<00:25:51.039> kind<00:25:51.279> of
think the politicians don't care about
them<00:25:57.440> and<00:25:58.000> to<00:25:58.240> a<00:25:58.480> degree<00:25:59.360> that's<00:25:59.679> right<00:25:59.919> the
politicians don't care about them. Um
they<00:26:02.400> feel<00:26:02.559> like<00:26:02.720> they're<00:26:02.960> ignored<00:26:03.520> and<00:26:04.320> to<00:26:04.559> a
they feel like they're ignored and to a
degree<00:26:04.880> that<00:26:05.120> they<00:26:05.279> are<00:26:05.520> ignored.<00:26:06.240> um<00:26:06.400> they
And I think it's important to recognize
that<00:26:23.360> if<00:26:23.600> you<00:26:23.760> put<00:26:24.240> somebody<00:26:24.720> in<00:26:24.880> that<00:26:25.120> kind<00:26:25.279> of
this reminded me, so I've not spoken
about<00:26:48.640> this<00:26:48.799> much<00:26:48.960> on<00:26:49.200> the<00:26:49.279> channel,<00:26:49.520> but<00:26:49.760> my
my parents are Mormons and that
Mormonism<00:26:52.720> is<00:26:52.799> a<00:26:53.039> kind<00:26:53.200> of<00:26:53.440> a<00:26:53.760> very<00:26:54.720> strict
kind of American Christianity. Um, and
what's<00:26:58.480> interesting<00:26:58.799> about<00:26:58.960> that<00:26:59.120> is<00:26:59.279> a<00:26:59.440> lot
exists in America, but there's actually
a<00:27:02.559> lot<00:27:02.640> of<00:27:02.720> Mormonis,<00:27:03.279> a<00:27:03.440> lot<00:27:03.520> of<00:27:03.600> Mormons<00:27:04.000> all
a lot of Mormonis, a lot of Mormons all
over<00:27:04.320> the<00:27:04.559> world.<00:27:04.799> And<00:27:04.960> the<00:27:05.200> reason<00:27:05.279> that
over the world. And the reason that
there's<00:27:05.679> a<00:27:05.760> lot<00:27:05.840> of<00:27:05.919> Mormons<00:27:06.320> all<00:27:06.480> over<00:27:06.640> the
there's a lot of Mormons all over the
world<00:27:07.360> is<00:27:07.600> the<00:27:07.760> Mormons<00:27:08.320> send<00:27:08.960> young<00:27:09.279> men<00:27:09.440> and
world is the Mormons send young men and
young<00:27:09.840> women<00:27:10.880> dressed<00:27:11.279> in<00:27:11.520> very<00:27:11.919> smart<00:27:12.320> sort
young women dressed in very smart sort
of<00:27:13.279> white<00:27:13.600> shirts<00:27:14.000> all<00:27:14.159> around<00:27:14.400> the<00:27:14.480> world<00:27:14.640> to
of white shirts all around the world to
knock<00:27:15.039> on<00:27:15.200> people's<00:27:15.520> doors<00:27:15.919> and<00:27:16.240> to<00:27:16.559> tell
knock on people's doors and to tell
them,<00:27:17.120> "Hey,<00:27:17.520> do<00:27:17.600> you<00:27:17.760> want<00:27:17.840> to<00:27:18.080> become<00:27:18.400> a
were converted to Mormonism by these
guys<00:27:26.559> who<00:27:26.720> came<00:27:26.880> knocking<00:27:27.200> on<00:27:27.279> the<00:27:27.440> doors.<00:27:28.320> And
sometimes I've wondered, you know, what
it<00:27:30.799> was<00:27:31.039> about,<00:27:31.440> you<00:27:31.520> know,<00:27:31.600> my<00:27:31.760> my<00:27:32.080> dad's
it was about, you know, my my dad's
parents<00:27:32.720> are<00:27:32.880> very<00:27:33.039> sort<00:27:33.200> of<00:27:33.360> stiff<00:27:33.600> upper<00:27:33.919> lip
workingass people, why they became
Mormons.<00:27:39.520> But,<00:27:39.760> you<00:27:39.919> know,<00:27:40.480> my<00:27:40.720> granddad,<00:27:41.520> he
Mormons. But, you know, my granddad, he
came<00:27:42.000> back<00:27:42.159> from<00:27:42.320> the<00:27:42.480> war.<00:27:42.799> He<00:27:43.039> was<00:27:43.600> he<00:27:43.840> was<00:27:43.919> a
came back from the war. He was he was a
member,<00:27:44.320> he<00:27:44.480> was<00:27:44.559> in<00:27:44.640> the<00:27:44.799> army<00:27:45.039> since<00:27:45.279> before
member, he was in the army since before
the<00:27:45.600> war<00:27:45.840> started.<00:27:46.400> You<00:27:46.559> know,<00:27:46.720> he<00:27:46.960> probably
killed people in Egypt.
And<00:27:49.919> I<00:27:50.080> think<00:27:50.240> maybe<00:27:50.480> he<00:27:50.720> was<00:27:50.799> in<00:27:50.960> a<00:27:51.120> bit<00:27:51.200> of<00:27:51.360> a
knock on your door and say, "Hey, you
know,<00:28:01.440> we're<00:28:01.679> going<00:28:01.760> to<00:28:01.840> teach<00:28:02.000> you<00:28:02.240> about
know, we're going to teach you about
God.<00:28:03.120> Come<00:28:03.360> with<00:28:03.520> us.<00:28:04.320> We're<00:28:04.480> going<00:28:04.559> to<00:28:04.640> give
God. Come with us. We're going to give
you<00:28:04.960> a<00:28:05.120> community.<00:28:05.840> We're<00:28:06.000> going<00:28:06.080> to<00:28:06.240> give<00:28:06.320> you
you a community. We're going to give you
a<00:28:06.640> space<00:28:06.799> where<00:28:06.960> you<00:28:07.120> feel<00:28:07.279> safe.<00:28:07.520> We're<00:28:07.760> going
to give you a future."
I<00:28:10.640> think<00:28:11.360> if<00:28:11.600> you<00:28:11.840> put<00:28:12.000> someone<00:28:12.480> in<00:28:12.799> a<00:28:13.039> space
and somebody knocks on their door with a
smiling<00:28:20.159> face<00:28:20.320> and<00:28:20.480> a<00:28:20.640> hand<00:28:20.880> out<00:28:21.120> and<00:28:21.440> says,
smiling face and a hand out and says,
"We're<00:28:22.320> going<00:28:22.399> to<00:28:22.559> be<00:28:22.640> here<00:28:22.799> for<00:28:22.880> you.<00:28:23.360> going
"We're going to be here for you. going
to<00:28:23.520> support<00:28:23.840> you.<00:28:24.880> A<00:28:25.120> lot<00:28:25.200> of<00:28:25.279> people<00:28:25.440> are
to support you. A lot of people are
going<00:28:25.679> to<00:28:25.840> go.<00:28:27.039> And<00:28:28.000> when<00:28:28.240> I<00:28:28.399> went<00:28:28.559> down<00:28:28.720> to
when I went down to that protest and I
saw<00:28:38.640> the<00:28:38.799> protesters<00:28:39.279> on<00:28:39.440> one<00:28:39.600> side<00:28:39.919> and<00:28:40.159> the
saw the protesters on one side and the
and<00:28:40.480> the<00:28:40.640> counterprotest<00:28:41.279> on<00:28:41.360> the<00:28:41.520> other<00:28:41.679> side
and the counterprotest on the other side
shouting<00:28:43.039> at<00:28:43.200> each<00:28:43.360> other<00:28:43.679> and<00:28:44.000> calling<00:28:44.320> each
I find it quite upsetting to be honest.
And<00:28:51.200> I<00:28:51.520> couldn't<00:28:52.799> help<00:28:53.039> but<00:28:53.279> ask<00:28:53.679> myself
before I call these people names, have I
knocked<00:29:00.880> on<00:29:01.039> their<00:29:01.200> door<00:29:01.279> with<00:29:01.440> my<00:29:01.600> hand<00:29:01.760> out?
Have we been there to offer them a story
of<00:29:08.000> hope,<00:29:08.880> a<00:29:09.120> future,<00:29:10.159> something<00:29:10.399> that<00:29:10.640> can
rather than driving us apart? Because I
worry<00:29:21.840> if<00:29:22.080> that<00:29:22.320> is<00:29:22.559> the<00:29:22.799> future<00:29:23.039> of<00:29:23.200> this
worry if that is the future of this
country.<00:29:24.480> Half<00:29:24.720> of<00:29:24.799> us<00:29:24.960> on<00:29:25.120> one<00:29:25.279> side<00:29:25.440> of<00:29:25.520> the
country. Half of us on one side of the
road,<00:29:26.000> half<00:29:26.159> of<00:29:26.240> us<00:29:26.399> on<00:29:26.559> the<00:29:26.720> other,<00:29:27.520> shouting
that's only going to benefit the rich
and<00:29:43.919> uh<00:29:44.399> ordinary<00:29:44.880> families<00:29:45.120> will<00:29:45.360> get<00:29:45.440> poorer
and uh ordinary families will get poorer
and<00:29:45.840> poorer.<00:29:47.039> But<00:29:47.200> if<00:29:47.360> we're<00:29:47.520> united,<00:29:48.240> we<00:29:48.480> can
media works, salience, storytelling, how
we<00:29:59.120> win<00:29:59.279> the<00:29:59.440> future.<00:30:00.559> But<00:30:00.720> I<00:30:00.880> think<00:30:01.039> more<00:30:01.200> than
we win the future. But I think more than
that,<00:30:02.320> it's<00:30:02.559> about<00:30:02.799> whether<00:30:03.039> we're<00:30:03.279> able<00:30:03.520> to
that, it's about whether we're able to
view<00:30:03.840> each<00:30:04.080> other<00:30:04.720> as<00:30:05.120> people<00:30:05.520> and<00:30:05.760> with
view each other as people and with
compassion.<00:30:06.640> Um<00:30:08.000> because<00:30:08.320> if<00:30:08.480> we<00:30:08.640> can<00:30:08.799> do
compassion. Um because if we can do
that,<00:30:09.279> then<00:30:09.520> we<00:30:09.679> can<00:30:09.840> come<00:30:10.000> together<00:30:10.480> and<00:30:10.720> if
that, then we can come together and if
we<00:30:10.960> can<00:30:11.120> come<00:30:11.279> together,<00:30:11.840> we<00:30:12.080> can<00:30:12.159> win.<00:30:13.279> So
we can come together, we can win. So
that's<00:30:13.679> the<00:30:13.840> end.<00:30:14.880> Good<00:30:15.120> luck.<00:30:15.440> Thank<00:30:15.600> you.
