The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 103 - How Cronkite Turned The MSM Against The USA

00:00:00.000 And the gold medal for moral idiocy goes to, you guessed it, the mainstream media.

00:00:05.400 More than a century after Lincoln Steffens fawned over Lenin, 85 years after the New York Times

00:00:10.980 denied Stalin's Holodome War, the mainstream media have a new murderous totalitarian to pine for,

00:00:17.360 Kim Yo Jong, the sister of Little Rocket Man and a leading figure in the North Korean regime 0.86

00:00:23.140 that tortures hundreds of thousands of its own citizens in concentration camps and enslaves

00:00:28.060 and starves millions more through the most oppressive state on the face of the earth.

00:00:32.760 Believe it or not, it wasn't always this way.

00:00:35.420 The American mainstream media may despise their own country now, but it wasn't so long ago

00:00:39.620 that American journalists were actually patriots.

00:00:42.120 We will explain when and why American journalists stopped considering themselves Americans and

00:00:47.480 started attacking their own country. 0.61

00:00:49.600 I'm Michael Knowles, and this is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:00:58.060 So much to get to today.

00:01:00.700 There are some things we won't even be able to get to.

00:01:02.820 Those new Obama portraits came out.

00:01:05.420 I don't know if you saw them, the presidential portraits.

00:01:07.620 And do you see that?

00:01:08.480 It looks, the Michelle Obama one looks as though Gustav Klimt had been dropped on his head as

00:01:13.660 a baby and produced Michelle Obama's portrait.

00:01:17.100 But I'm sorry.

00:01:18.200 We don't have time for that.

00:01:19.020 Because I've got to get out of here today.

00:01:20.800 I'm going to Palm Beach to give a little talk at the Cudair Institute, and we'll be

00:01:27.360 talking about the future of American conservatism in the age of Donald Trump.

00:01:31.880 I'll be there with some guys from National Review and the Hoover Institution, and it should

00:01:36.000 be a lot of fun.

00:01:36.600 If you're free tomorrow, and you're in Palm Beach, you can head over there, and maybe we'll

00:01:42.180 go have some burnt steak with ketchup at Mar-a-Lago afterward.

00:01:45.200 But this all brings me to Upside.com, because business travel is a real hassle, man.

00:01:50.240 Let me tell you, it can be really tough.

00:01:53.220 If anything has to change, then you have to, like, call, I have to call sweet little Elise

00:01:57.560 in a panic, and she's got to sit on the phone with the airline, and it takes forever, and

00:02:02.200 she yells at me, Mike, I don't have time for this, Mike, I don't.

00:02:04.720 So let other people handle it for you.

00:02:07.320 Let me ask you this.

00:02:08.060 How great would it be to have the kind of support astronauts get when they take a business

00:02:11.860 trip?

00:02:12.420 Having a whole team of people, a mission control, making sure your business trip goes smoothly.

00:02:35.900 It took me years and years to get the TSA pre-check and all this.

00:02:39.300 Don't let someone handle it for you.

00:02:40.860 It is the 21st century.

00:02:42.400 Come on, guys.

00:02:42.880 I'm a millennial in the 21st century, which means I don't want to do anything for myself.

00:03:35.600 But Go, it's a really, really great company, and they help keep the lights on.

00:03:38.260 Very good of them.

00:03:40.160 Let's get into Kim Jong-ho, the dragon lady from, I don't remember her name, but the

00:03:44.980 dragon lady from North Korea.

00:03:46.200 The mainstream media, they are in love.

00:03:47.720 They are in love with the face of the regime that regularly threatens to nuke the United States.

00:03:53.940 That has violated decades of UN resolutions, official US policy that constantly threatens

00:04:00.000 to vaporize us with the kid from UP's desk button bomb.

00:04:03.860 They love her.

00:04:04.700 Business Insider reported, quote, North Korea's princess, Kim Yo-jong, threw Pence side-eye.

00:04:11.420 They also reported, quote, North Korea's princess, Kim Yo-jong, wraps up whirlwind, historic visit

00:04:18.580 to the Olympics.

00:04:19.140 The best part of this, by the way, is she isn't a princess, and nobody calls her that other

00:04:23.380 than business insider.

00:04:24.600 For some reason, they've decided to call her a princess.

00:04:26.800 The New York Times, quote, Kim Jong-un's sister turns on the charm, taking Pence's spotlight.

00:04:33.700 The Washington Post, the Ivanka Trump of North Korea, captivates people in the South at the

00:04:39.280 Olympics.

00:04:39.920 But the best, of course, was CNN.

00:04:41.980 CNN, the most trusted name in apples, or whatever they do.

00:04:44.560 CNN headline reads, quote, Kim Jong-un's sister is stealing the show at the Winter Olympics. 0.98

00:04:52.200 Stealing the show.

00:04:53.380 Now, here is the piece.

00:04:54.980 You can watch it on CNN.

00:04:56.720 She will put a young, telegenic face on the regime. 0.86

00:05:00.100 This is a calculated move from Kim Jong-un, experts say, to answer Ivanka Trump's presence

00:05:05.100 at the closing ceremonies.

00:05:06.600 Kim Yo-jong is the perfect counterpart to this. 0.50

00:05:09.140 And it also is a signal that North Korea is not, you know, this crazy, weird, former Cold

00:05:16.240 War state, but that it, too, has young women that are capable and are the future leadership. 0.96

00:05:21.580 They have one woman who is capable of future leadership.

00:05:24.740 She's the only one they don't starve and enslave and kill. 0.93

00:05:27.580 Gary Kasparov, the chess player and activist now, got in on this one.

00:05:32.140 He said, someone tells CNN that their site has been hacked by the North Korean propaganda

00:05:36.340 ministry.

00:05:37.680 So that hasn't been hacked.

00:05:38.800 They just work in tandem with them.

00:05:40.200 So that was how the mainstream media reported on Kim Yo-jong.

00:05:43.760 Just a few statistics about North Korea.

00:05:46.300 125,000 people there are held in concentration camps.

00:05:49.680 The GDP is $1,800 a year per capita.

00:05:53.540 That's reported by the government.

00:05:55.760 Most people live on $2 to $3 per day.

00:05:58.360 Even with black market, they live on a third of what Cubans live on from their government. 0.95

00:06:04.400 There is constant enslavement.

00:06:07.200 People are sent overseas to be slaves for the regime.

00:06:10.820 There is no electricity throughout most of the place.

00:06:13.180 There is no working plumbing throughout most of North Korea.

00:06:16.640 It is just a living hell.

00:06:18.660 They tortured an American high school, or a college student, rather, to death.

00:06:22.660 They regularly torture hundreds of thousands of their own people.

00:06:26.940 This is what they're lauding.

00:06:28.500 So that's how they treated Kim Yo-dragon lady. 1.00

00:06:32.060 Kim Yo-dragon lady. 1.00

00:06:33.020 Here is how the mainstream media reported on the vice president of the United States, Mike Pence.

00:06:37.700 New York Magazine, quote,

00:06:39.100 Pence's anti-North Korea PR campaign bombs.

00:06:42.700 Get it?

00:06:43.120 Tee-hee-hee. 0.68

00:06:43.860 CNN, gay Olympic athlete turns down Pence meeting.

00:06:47.780 The Daily Beast, to win respect from LGBT Olympians, Pence must condemn conversion therapy.

00:06:55.240 For some, I don't know why.

00:06:56.380 And you, and Mike Pence, when did you stop beating your wife?

00:06:59.720 Did you, why?

00:07:00.440 This is based, by the way, this gay therapy thing.

00:07:03.520 This is based on a left-wing myth that Mike Pence supports electrocuting homosexuals.

00:07:08.340 It's because in his 2000 congressional campaign, his website said that he supported an HIV treatment funding law that had a provision, with a provision, that some funds go toward institutions that treat people who want to change their sexual behavior.

00:07:24.280 And as a millennial, let me tell you, we could all probably change our sexual behavior a little bit, you know.

00:07:28.800 So, a line on a campaign website that allows some HIV treatment funds to go to institutions that treat people who want to change their sexual behavior.

00:07:39.320 That has become Vice President Pence wants to electrocute gays, according to the mainstream media, where democracy dies in darkness.

00:07:45.840 And the final headline, last but also least, Slate, quote,

00:07:49.660 Olympics jerk watch, the vice president of the United States of America, the jerk watch, murderous dictatress who tortures hundreds of thousands of people to death, enslaves and starves a million more, whose regime just two years ago murdered an American student.

00:08:04.340 She's a charming princess who throws side-eye, rightly throws side-eye at the American vice president, like a better version of Ivanka Trump. 1.00

00:08:13.480 Nice guy vice president of the United States, whose greatest vice and craziest days were probably when he played acoustic guitar in college.

00:08:20.260 That guy, nice guy Mike Pence, who, as Hollywood and D.C. crumble with hourly accusations of rape and sexual harassment, refuses to dine alone with women because he doesn't want even the appearance of impropriety.

00:08:34.340 That guy is a monster who's a fool and a jerk and an embarrassment and definitely, definitely wants to electrocute gays. 1.00

00:08:41.620 For most millennials and post-millennials or whatever they are, this is all they've ever known.

00:08:47.240 The media despising virtually any display of American strength or patriotism and certainly any Republican in office.

00:08:54.240 But it wasn't always this way.

00:08:55.700 There was a time long, long ago when mainstream journalists actually liked their country.

00:09:01.480 I know, I know it's shocking.

00:09:02.920 I'm not saying they weren't left-wing.

00:09:04.460 I'm not saying they didn't like to puff up lefties like Lincoln Steffens and Walter Durante did.

00:09:09.660 That happened.

00:09:10.480 But the media writ large generally rooted for their country.

00:09:15.920 They considered themselves on the same side as their country.

00:09:18.320 They didn't consider themselves outside of their country or above their country.

00:09:22.080 We saw this as recently as the Second World War.

00:09:24.920 On March 17, 1942, General MacArthur landed in Australia.

00:09:28.840 Here is the New York Times headline.

00:09:30.260 The New York Times headline, MacArthur in Australia as Allied Commander, move hailed as foreshadowing, turn of tide, third National Army draft begins in capital.

00:09:41.400 That's a glowing thing. 0.54

00:09:42.680 I don't know why it's going to turn the tide, but clearly the Times is rooting for them.

00:09:46.240 It's going to turn the tide of the war.

00:09:47.440 We hope so.

00:09:48.100 Could you imagine what it would say today?

00:09:50.440 On May 12, 1943, Axis forces surrendered.

00:09:54.800 The New York Times reported, quote, Tunisian resistance ends in rout of Germans.

00:09:59.400 Going to rout those damn dirty Germans. 1.00

00:10:02.500 On June 6, 1944, the Allies landed at Normandy.

00:10:06.320 If D-Day had occurred in 2018, CNN or the New York Times would no doubt report something like, quote, 200,000 Allies dead.

00:10:14.340 When will Trump resign?

00:10:16.120 Mike Pence hates gays or something.

00:10:17.640 But thankfully, D-Day occurred in 1944 when the New York Times ran the headline, quote, Hitler's seawall is breached. 0.93

00:10:25.240 Invaders fighting their way inland.

00:10:27.460 New Allied landings are made.

00:10:29.740 It's not quite that they were cheerleaders.

00:10:31.880 They were.

00:10:32.740 They're pretty close.

00:10:33.980 But it's the choice of wording here.

00:10:35.600 Rout of Germans. 0.63

00:10:36.920 Hitler's seawall breached.

00:10:38.760 They clearly have a side.

00:10:40.480 They're partisans.

00:10:41.480 They have a country.

00:10:42.420 They have a team.

00:10:43.580 They are Americans.

00:10:44.980 They are going to root for the Americans. 0.96

00:10:47.320 They're going to root for their own country. 0.98

00:10:49.620 On February 11, 1945, at Yalta, the New York Times doesn't even pretend.

00:10:53.820 The headline reads, quote,

00:10:55.100 Big Three doom Nazism and Reich militarism. 0.93

00:10:57.980 They doom it.

00:10:59.220 Could you imagine that headline today?

00:11:00.820 They wouldn't run the story at all.

00:11:02.460 Instead, the New York Times would run a story about the three Allied troops who accidentally shot an unarmed German or something.

00:11:09.880 That would be the front page.

00:11:11.360 Yalta, the defeat of Nazism.

00:11:12.920 Maybe that would be page Z75.

00:11:15.840 Maybe.

00:11:16.700 Before we get to more, they're telling me.

00:11:18.680 There are so many more insane headlines.

00:11:20.880 But before that, we've got to talk about something else.

00:11:23.380 We have got to talk about Da Vinci.

00:11:26.020 Da Vinci is really, this is actually, this ties in pretty well, too, with this trip that I've got to do tomorrow.

00:11:31.100 You know, in today's competitive business climate, having the right address is critical to the success of your business.

00:11:37.080 It literally could mean the difference between closing a deal or closing your doors.

00:11:41.720 That is why you need an address to impress, and Da Vinci has you covered.

00:11:46.380 So this actually happened to me.

00:11:48.440 I have a political consulting shop in New York that I'm a part of and that other New York political operatives are a part of.

00:11:55.120 And for a while, we didn't have an address for our business.

00:11:57.940 When we started out, it was like hanging a shingle, and we had a P.O. box.

00:12:01.140 And it just doesn't look great.

00:12:02.780 It doesn't make you seem like you're an established business.

00:12:05.720 It makes you think, okay, is this guy working out of his car, which at the time I was, actually.

00:12:09.860 So you don't want that.

00:12:11.280 You want your business to look legitimate.

00:12:13.300 Da Vinci makes it incredibly easy to select the perfect business address.

00:12:17.800 They give you access to thousands of high-profile business addresses in upper-scale office locations in all 50 states.

00:12:24.740 And it's really affordable.

00:12:26.640 This is the main thing here.

00:12:27.920 A lot of times, people don't have an address because I don't want to have office space.

00:12:30.700 I can work out of a coffee shop right in my apartment.

00:12:33.380 And I've worked plenty of political campaigns just like that.

00:12:36.420 But you want a business address to seem legitimate, to be a real business.

00:12:41.800 You don't want to say, mail it to barista number seven at the Starbucks down the street.

00:12:45.420 It doesn't look so hot.

00:12:46.580 So great addresses start at just $50 per month.

00:12:50.020 You get more credibility.

00:12:51.560 Strip mall and P.O. box addresses just do not scream reliability.

00:12:54.860 Da Vinci addresses always do.

00:12:57.160 Location, location, location.

00:12:58.720 In business, that means everything.

00:12:59.940 But Da Vinci will give you instant access to thousands of high-profile addresses.

00:13:05.080 It's fast, affordable, and so easy.

00:13:07.160 Get just $50 a month address to impress with Da Vinci today.

00:13:44.300 Back to when the press was good.

00:13:48.380 At the bloody, awful landing at Iwo Jima, where American casualties exceeded Japanese casualties,

00:13:55.660 where just the 25th Marines 3rd Battalion suffered an 83.3% casualty rate,

00:14:02.200 the New York Times headline read this.

00:14:04.320 U.S. Marines storm ashore on Iwo Jima.

00:14:07.380 Patton strikes again.

00:14:09.000 Could you imagine today?

00:14:10.660 Americans slaughtered.

00:14:12.080 Mass casualties.

00:14:13.380 War is over.

00:14:14.160 Time for the U.S. to pull out.

00:14:15.880 Mike Pence hates gay people.

00:14:17.840 Presumably that's what it would read.

00:14:19.140 Even as recently as the mid-20th century,

00:14:21.460 the American press supported their country against its enemies,

00:14:25.140 against Nazism, against the Soviet Union.

00:14:27.340 They at least supported the liberal consensus,

00:14:30.620 which opposed the spread of communism.

00:14:32.720 That was that mid-century kind of consensus.

00:14:35.120 Now we'd probably call it the deep state view.

00:14:37.020 But it was at least a pro-American view

00:14:39.640 held by the press and by the American officials.

00:14:43.840 There was a TV show that ran from 1950 to 1953

00:14:47.620 called Battle Report Washington.

00:14:50.540 That time period coincided with the Korean conflict,

00:14:53.320 a military engagement that nearly spilled into mainly in China.

00:14:56.140 A lot of pressure on.

00:14:57.260 The show featured interviews with government and military leaders.

00:15:00.440 Where was it produced?

00:15:01.900 In the White House itself.

00:15:03.760 NBC broadcasted to give, quote,

00:15:06.300 the people of the United States a firsthand account

00:15:08.720 of what the federal government is doing

00:15:10.500 in the worldwide battle against communism.

00:15:14.120 That was NBC.

00:15:15.820 The show's host, John Steelman,

00:15:17.680 referred to communist belligerents as

00:15:19.580 the 14 barbarians, power-drunk atheists, 1.00

00:15:23.460 and bloodthirsty barbarians. 0.87

00:15:25.460 That ran on NBC.

00:15:27.080 It would be exactly the opposite today.

00:15:28.920 Even Edward R. Murrow,

00:15:30.200 the anti-McCarthy television journalist on CBS.

00:15:33.120 Even Murrow, whom I don't care for that much,

00:15:36.060 but even Murrow, in between attacks on Republicans,

00:15:39.140 sat on the State Department panel

00:15:40.800 on overseas information

00:15:42.440 and lobbed softball questions

00:15:44.620 at Secretary of State Dean Acheson.

00:15:47.860 Now consider the New York Times headlines

00:15:49.740 in the war in Iraq.

00:15:50.800 So this was a much more recent war.

00:15:52.840 November 6, 2004.

00:15:54.340 Poll shows view of Iraq war

00:15:55.600 as most negative since the start.

00:15:56.980 Also November 6th, getting Iraq wrong.

00:16:00.580 October 12th, 2007.

00:16:02.480 Two killed in shooting mourned far beyond Iraq.

00:16:05.500 They're not talking about American troops

00:16:06.680 that were killed in the shooting.

00:16:07.800 The Times is using the death of Iraqis

00:16:09.620 at the hands of private security

00:16:11.460 to attack the American war effort

00:16:13.080 and to attack the use of Blackwater.

00:16:15.460 Also November 6th, 2004.

00:16:17.320 Protest focuses on Iraq troop increase.

00:16:20.280 October 2007.

00:16:21.780 Former top general in Iraq

00:16:23.160 faults Bush administration.

00:16:25.060 April 2007.

00:16:25.960 Injured in Iraq.

00:16:27.280 A soldier is shattered at home.

00:16:29.680 That's just the New York Times.

00:16:31.520 And that's just a random smattering.

00:16:32.880 I just googled a random smattering

00:16:34.240 of Iraq headlines.

00:16:35.600 Just about every headline

00:16:36.700 is a new attempt

00:16:37.640 to undermine the American war effort,

00:16:39.740 to undercut morale among troops

00:16:41.300 and at home.

00:16:42.280 And now we see the mainstream media

00:16:44.060 fawning over a top official

00:16:45.760 from the most repressive

00:16:46.980 anti-American regime on earth,

00:16:49.300 which regularly threatens

00:16:50.660 to blow us all to smithereens.

00:16:52.400 Quite a change.

00:16:53.780 How, when, and why

00:16:56.380 did the mainstream media

00:16:57.560 turn on its own country?

00:16:59.940 How, when, and why

00:17:01.220 did the mainstream media

00:17:02.420 turn on its own country?

00:17:05.140 Walter Cronkite.

00:17:06.600 Walter Cronkite,

00:17:07.540 the most trusted man in America.

00:17:09.100 Cronkite was voted

00:17:09.840 the most trusted man in America

00:17:11.220 in an opinion poll in the 1960s.

00:17:13.560 And the title stuck.

00:17:15.180 He concluded his news program

00:17:16.560 on CBS by saying,

00:17:17.920 and that's the way it is.

00:17:19.320 That's the way it is.

00:17:20.560 He's regularly cited

00:17:22.000 almost exclusively by lefties

00:17:23.720 as the last example

00:17:24.980 of unbiased news.

00:17:26.380 Just the facts.

00:17:27.080 No opinion.

00:17:27.960 No spin.

00:17:28.880 Cronkite was just the facts.

00:17:30.780 He probably didn't even

00:17:31.560 have a political opinion.

00:17:32.740 When he did,

00:17:33.340 he was just a straight shooter.

00:17:34.600 Except none of that's true.

00:17:36.500 Cronkite wasn't the last

00:17:37.560 straight journalist

00:17:38.160 before all hell broke loose.

00:17:39.740 In reality,

00:17:40.420 it was Cronkite

00:17:40.940 who did the breaking.

00:17:42.300 Cronkite was the first major

00:17:43.860 modern American journalist

00:17:45.160 to consider himself

00:17:46.400 untethered to his own country

00:17:48.380 above national boundaries.

00:17:50.240 A citizen of the world.

00:17:53.020 And it's really incredible

00:17:53.920 that people even make

00:17:54.880 this claim anymore.

00:17:56.020 That Cronkite just told you

00:17:57.120 what the facts were

00:17:58.060 just the way it is.

00:17:58.920 The man single-handedly

00:17:59.900 lost us the Vietnam War.

00:18:01.400 This great man,

00:18:02.220 this facts-only journalist,

00:18:03.620 this alleged American

00:18:04.900 declared that the war was lost.

00:18:06.460 Here's what he said.

00:18:07.800 To say that we are closer

00:18:09.140 to victory today

00:18:10.220 is to believe

00:18:11.420 in the face of the evidence,

00:18:13.160 the optimists

00:18:13.820 who have been wrong

00:18:14.680 in the past.

00:18:15.980 To suggest we are

00:18:17.020 on the edge of defeat

00:18:18.220 is to yield

00:18:19.460 to unreasonable pessimism.

00:18:21.700 To say that we are

00:18:22.660 mired in stalemate

00:18:24.060 seems the only realistic

00:18:26.060 if unsatisfactory conclusion.

00:18:29.200 On the off chance,

00:18:30.300 the military and political

00:18:31.600 analysts are right.

00:18:33.180 In the next few months,

00:18:34.320 we must test

00:18:35.120 the enemy's intentions

00:18:36.240 in case this is indeed

00:18:37.940 his last big gasp

00:18:39.600 before negotiations.

00:18:40.720 But it is increasingly clear

00:18:43.040 to this report

00:18:43.800 that the only rational way out

00:18:46.280 then will be to negotiate

00:18:48.420 not as victors

00:18:49.980 but as an honorable people

00:18:52.020 who lived up to their pledge

00:18:53.560 to defend democracy

00:18:54.760 and did the best they could.

00:18:58.280 This is Walter Kranguy.

00:18:59.700 Good night.

00:19:00.880 Just the facts.

00:19:02.300 Just the facts.

00:19:03.020 I wonder if he would have said

00:19:03.860 the same thing

00:19:04.460 in the face of other threats.

00:19:05.840 There were a lot of people

00:19:06.500 calling on Britain

00:19:07.680 to negotiate with Hitler 0.83

00:19:08.720 and Mussolini.

00:19:09.960 But that's the only way

00:19:11.340 we can just negotiate.

00:19:12.260 That was it.

00:19:13.160 That's it.

00:19:13.600 That's it.

00:19:14.600 The journalist,

00:19:15.480 David Halberstam,

00:19:16.940 said that that report

00:19:18.880 turned American opinion

00:19:19.880 irreparably against the war.

00:19:21.660 Presidential historian

00:19:22.640 Douglas Brinkley agrees.

00:19:24.600 It is said,

00:19:25.400 it might be apocryphal,

00:19:26.380 but there is some evidence

00:19:27.160 that he said it,

00:19:27.860 that LBJ told his press secretary

00:19:29.600 upon hearing of

00:19:30.900 Cronkite's segment

00:19:32.000 something along the lines of

00:19:33.380 if I've lost Walter Cronkite,

00:19:34.980 I've lost Middle America. 0.99

00:19:36.900 The segment came out

00:19:37.720 after Walter Cronkite

00:19:38.780 visited Vietnam.

00:19:39.980 And he visited Vietnam

00:19:40.960 only weeks after

00:19:42.480 the Tet Offensive,

00:19:43.700 a massive victory

00:19:45.020 for the Americans.

00:19:46.100 We lost 249 Americans 1.00

00:19:47.560 and 500 South Vietnamese

00:19:49.100 compared to 10,000

00:19:51.120 North Vietnamese dead

00:19:52.960 in just the few days

00:19:54.100 of the offensive.

00:19:55.120 The communists would go on

00:19:56.280 to lose upwards of 30,000 men

00:19:58.580 captured or killed.

00:19:59.680 The communists were so decimated

00:20:01.720 by the fighting

00:20:02.660 that Nixon CIA director

00:20:04.320 Richard Helms stated

00:20:05.680 that even a year later,

00:20:07.080 Hanoi would still require

00:20:08.680 considerable time

00:20:09.620 to rebuild its forces.

00:20:12.000 But Walter Cronkite

00:20:12.760 didn't like the war.

00:20:14.080 He didn't like the war

00:20:15.160 and so he reported it wrong.

00:20:17.500 He undercut the morale

00:20:18.820 of the troops

00:20:19.460 and of the American public

00:20:20.800 and that's the way it was

00:20:22.020 and that's the way it was.

00:20:23.220 Cronkite was also harping

00:20:24.660 on environmentalism

00:20:25.740 around this time,

00:20:26.720 which he blamed

00:20:27.420 on overpopulation

00:20:28.820 like all the other

00:20:29.940 lightly educated radicals

00:20:31.460 of the 1970s

00:20:32.480 when the world,

00:20:33.860 by the way,

00:20:34.100 was less than half

00:20:34.900 populated as it is today.

00:20:37.080 Two days before

00:20:38.000 the first Earth Day,

00:20:39.360 Cronkite began

00:20:40.040 a regular segment

00:20:41.040 titled,

00:20:42.080 Can the World Be Saved?

00:20:43.920 Spoiler alert.

00:20:45.080 It was not about

00:20:46.480 a certain Jewish carpenter

00:20:47.640 from first century Palestine

00:20:48.800 who was actually

00:20:49.300 talking about environmentalists.

00:20:51.000 He thought and wrote

00:20:52.060 in an introduction

00:20:52.760 to George Orwell's 1984

00:20:54.560 that it was about,

00:20:57.080 not about left totalitarianism,

00:20:58.680 but rather about technology.

00:21:00.440 He wrote, quote,

00:21:01.040 1984 is an anguished lament

00:21:03.520 and a warning

00:21:04.560 that vibrates powerfully

00:21:06.100 when we may not be

00:21:07.380 strong enough

00:21:08.120 nor wise enough

00:21:09.400 nor moral enough

00:21:10.740 to cope with the kind of power

00:21:12.380 we have learned to amass.

00:21:14.140 Not once,

00:21:14.860 not even once,

00:21:15.520 did he mention

00:21:16.060 the Soviet Union or China.

00:21:18.020 Joseph Epstein

00:21:18.620 of Commentary Magazine

00:21:19.740 wrote at this point

00:21:20.720 that by then,

00:21:21.920 Cronkite had entered

00:21:23.040 that phase of liberalism

00:21:24.340 that finds no country

00:21:25.680 more dangerous

00:21:26.480 than one's own.

00:21:27.940 Absolutely true.

00:21:28.840 He not so subtly insinuated,

00:21:31.540 this is Cronkite,

00:21:33.200 that Barry Goldwater

00:21:34.040 was comparable to Nazis,

00:21:35.840 announcing whether or not

00:21:37.320 Senator Goldwater

00:21:38.120 wins the nomination,

00:21:39.400 he is going places.

00:21:40.560 The first place being Germany 1.00

00:21:42.120 because he was going to visit

00:21:43.420 and he set off

00:21:45.400 an entire segment

00:21:46.160 about the coincidence

00:21:47.300 that libertarian Goldwater

00:21:48.740 was about to go visit

00:21:50.380 an American general

00:21:51.320 in Bavaria.

00:21:52.760 Here is a clip

00:21:53.580 of the ostensibly objective

00:21:55.380 Walter Cronkite preening.

00:21:56.820 Good evening,

00:21:58.580 this is Ted Baxter

00:21:59.480 and now here is the news.

00:22:01.980 Good evening,

00:22:03.080 this is Ted Baxter

00:22:04.240 and now here is the news.

00:22:06.840 Good evening,

00:22:07.560 come in.

00:22:09.340 Oh, wait a minute,

00:22:10.260 I'm sorry,

00:22:10.540 that was Ted Baxter

00:22:11.220 from the Mary Tyler Moore show.

00:22:12.460 I don't know how

00:22:13.000 that got in there.

00:22:13.740 Okay, here is

00:22:14.800 the actual Walter Cronkite

00:22:16.760 going full prattle.

00:22:19.740 I know that liberalism

00:22:22.880 isn't dead in this country.

00:22:24.960 It isn't even comatose.

00:22:27.680 It simply is suffering

00:22:28.800 a severe case

00:22:31.280 of acute laryngitis.

00:22:33.700 It simply is temporarily,

00:22:35.500 we hope,

00:22:37.000 lost its voice

00:22:38.600 about that democratic

00:22:40.980 loss in the election.

00:22:44.260 It seems to me

00:22:45.200 it was not just a candidate

00:22:46.500 who belatedly found a voice

00:22:48.960 that could reach the people.

00:22:51.220 It was not just

00:22:51.920 a campaign strategy

00:22:53.640 built on a defensive philosophy.

00:22:57.340 It was not just

00:22:58.440 an opposition

00:22:59.320 that conducted

00:23:00.320 one of the most sophisticated

00:23:01.700 and cynical campaigns ever.

00:23:05.460 It was not just a failure

00:23:07.480 to reach out

00:23:08.360 to every section

00:23:09.440 of our nation

00:23:10.020 and every sector

00:23:10.800 of our society.

00:23:11.540 It was the fault

00:23:14.920 of too many

00:23:15.900 who found their voices

00:23:17.780 stilled by

00:23:18.820 not so subtle

00:23:20.180 ideological intimidation.

00:23:23.540 For instance,

00:23:25.380 we know

00:23:26.980 that unilateral military action

00:23:30.120 in Grenada

00:23:31.320 and Tripoli

00:23:31.940 was wrong.

00:23:33.820 We know

00:23:34.460 that Star Wars

00:23:35.920 here,

00:23:37.200 Star Wars means

00:23:38.220 the most uncontrollable

00:23:39.120 escalation

00:23:39.800 of the arms race.

00:23:41.420 We know

00:23:42.320 that the real threat

00:23:44.640 to democracy

00:23:45.360 is in the half

00:23:46.500 of that nation

00:23:47.180 in poverty.

00:23:48.740 We know

00:23:49.460 that Thomas Jefferson

00:23:50.520 was right

00:23:51.160 when he said

00:23:52.240 a democracy

00:23:52.940 cannot be

00:23:53.800 both ignorant

00:23:54.580 and free.

00:23:57.560 We know

00:23:58.820 that no one

00:24:00.960 should tell a woman 1.00

00:24:01.800 she has to bear

00:24:02.880 an unwanted child.

00:24:03.960 We know

00:24:05.860 we know

00:24:06.400 I'm sorry

00:24:07.020 I apologize

00:24:07.720 to Ted Baxter

00:24:08.720 for comparing him

00:24:10.060 to Walter Cronkite

00:24:10.840 very unfair

00:24:11.440 to Ted Baxter.

00:24:12.560 What's really funny

00:24:13.380 about that by the way

00:24:14.000 is he said

00:24:14.280 we know

00:24:14.940 we know

00:24:15.440 Ronald Reagan

00:24:16.220 used to say

00:24:16.760 that it's not

00:24:17.200 that our liberal

00:24:17.680 friends are ignorant

00:24:18.440 it's that they know

00:24:19.140 so much

00:24:19.500 that isn't so

00:24:20.260 and basically

00:24:21.380 everything he just

00:24:22.080 said isn't true

00:24:22.920 that SDI

00:24:24.200 Star Wars

00:24:24.800 was not a failure

00:24:27.140 didn't lead

00:24:27.540 to uncontrollable

00:24:28.220 arms races

00:24:28.740 actually it did

00:24:29.720 exactly what

00:24:30.380 Ronald Reagan

00:24:30.840 predicted it would

00:24:31.800 and defeated

00:24:33.080 the Soviet Union

00:24:34.720 after he's

00:24:35.720 bewailing

00:24:36.500 this awful arms race

00:24:37.520 that's going to go on

00:24:38.120 less than two years later

00:24:39.300 the Soviet Union

00:24:39.980 was over

00:24:40.540 we defeated communism

00:24:41.940 because of all the policies

00:24:43.160 that he bewails

00:24:43.880 we know

00:24:44.800 that we have to

00:24:46.160 murder children

00:24:46.900 in the womb

00:24:47.320 we know

00:24:47.920 don't we know

00:24:48.740 so

00:24:49.780 that was

00:24:51.100 that's Walter Cronkite

00:24:52.160 that's the objective

00:24:52.840 Walter Cronkite

00:24:53.420 as if that weren't enough

00:24:54.420 by the 1990s

00:24:56.080 Cronkite had descended

00:24:57.240 into full on

00:24:58.460 empty headed leftism

00:24:59.620 endorsing a one world

00:25:00.900 government

00:25:01.280 and the loss

00:25:02.020 of American sovereignty

00:25:03.060 we Americans

00:25:05.400 are going to have

00:25:06.260 to yield up

00:25:07.040 some of our sovereignty

00:25:08.300 that's going to be

00:25:10.260 to many

00:25:10.780 a bitter pill

00:25:11.760 it would take

00:25:13.100 a lot of courage

00:25:14.060 a lot of faith

00:25:15.380 a lot of persuasion

00:25:17.040 to them to

00:25:18.960 come along with us

00:25:20.460 on this

00:25:21.360 necessity

00:25:22.340 today we must

00:25:23.580 develop federal

00:25:24.520 structures on a

00:25:25.480 global level

00:25:26.200 to deal with

00:25:27.580 world problems

00:25:28.400 we need a system

00:25:29.740 of enforceable

00:25:30.820 world law

00:25:31.600 a democratic

00:25:32.940 federal world

00:25:33.980 government

00:25:34.420 you know

00:25:36.500 what Alexander Hamilton

00:25:37.640 wrote

00:25:38.020 about the need

00:25:39.060 for law

00:25:39.580 among the 13 states

00:25:40.980 applies today

00:25:42.420 to the approximately

00:25:43.400 200 sovereignties

00:25:45.720 in our global village

00:25:47.140 all of which

00:25:48.360 are going to have

00:25:49.100 to be convinced

00:25:50.360 to give up

00:25:51.200 some of that sovereignty

00:25:52.440 to the better

00:25:53.420 greater union

00:25:54.360 Hamilton said

00:25:55.920 and it's not

00:25:59.100 going to be easy

00:25:59.720 and it's not

00:26:01.600 going to be easy

00:26:02.220 you catch that

00:26:02.820 little thread

00:26:03.200 at the end

00:26:03.660 it's not going

00:26:04.340 to be easy

00:26:04.860 uh oh

00:26:05.720 come on

00:26:06.600 bring it on

00:26:07.120 Walt

00:26:07.440 Cronkite

00:26:08.520 concluded

00:26:09.640 the speech

00:26:11.120 by saying

00:26:11.680 quote

00:26:12.000 Pat Robertson

00:26:13.380 has written

00:26:14.060 in a book

00:26:14.700 a few years ago

00:26:15.600 that we should

00:26:16.380 have a world

00:26:16.860 government

00:26:17.300 but only

00:26:18.400 when the Messiah

00:26:19.260 arrives

00:26:19.920 he wrote

00:26:20.380 literally

00:26:20.820 any attempt

00:26:21.400 to achieve

00:26:21.820 world order

00:26:22.400 before that

00:26:23.280 time

00:26:23.620 must be

00:26:24.300 the work

00:26:24.580 of the devil

00:26:25.060 well join me

00:26:26.100 I'm glad

00:26:26.680 to sit here

00:26:27.220 at the right

00:26:27.620 hand of Satan

00:26:28.320 so that's how

00:26:29.460 he concluded

00:26:29.940 that speech

00:26:30.500 that's no joke

00:26:31.320 those are his

00:26:31.960 exact words

00:26:32.480 Hillary Clinton

00:26:33.280 was in attendance

00:26:33.960 at the event

00:26:34.700 the then first lady

00:26:36.240 approached Cronkite

00:26:37.420 after the speech

00:26:38.160 and said

00:26:38.580 for decades

00:26:39.440 you told us

00:26:40.060 the way it is

00:26:40.840 but tonight

00:26:41.680 we honor you

00:26:42.460 for fighting

00:26:43.260 for the way

00:26:43.860 it could be

00:26:44.800 for the way

00:26:45.180 it should be

00:26:46.160 isn't that really

00:26:47.060 oh

00:26:47.440 Walter Cronkite

00:26:49.460 why don't

00:26:49.920 why don't

00:26:50.660 we have

00:26:51.120 a Walter Cronkite

00:26:52.380 anymore

00:26:52.780 not these

00:26:53.500 partisan people

00:26:54.520 on Teva Hannity

00:26:55.580 just

00:26:56.320 just someone

00:26:56.860 to tell us

00:26:57.320 the way it is

00:26:58.180 and and also

00:26:59.140 to advocate

00:26:59.700 for abortion

00:27:00.460 and the erasure

00:27:01.380 of national

00:27:01.900 boundaries

00:27:02.380 and population

00:27:03.200 control

00:27:03.720 you know

00:27:04.140 you know

00:27:04.860 just the way

00:27:05.420 it is

00:27:05.900 and I don't

00:27:07.400 mean just

00:27:08.000 to pick on

00:27:08.480 Cronkite

00:27:08.940 I am going

00:27:10.180 to pick on

00:27:10.540 more journalists

00:27:11.180 but oh

00:27:12.360 oh this is bad

00:27:13.540 I've got to say

00:27:14.800 this is so sad

00:27:15.620 I'm sorry

00:27:16.160 what can I do

00:27:16.820 my hands are tied

00:27:17.480 that's the way

00:27:18.440 it is

00:27:18.740 it's just the way

00:27:19.260 it is

00:27:19.440 I have to say

00:27:19.940 goodbye to

00:27:20.240 Facebook and

00:27:20.700 YouTube

00:27:20.980 probably I'm not

00:27:21.780 saying goodbye

00:27:22.120 to YouTube

00:27:22.500 because I think

00:27:23.440 at this point

00:27:24.060 anytime I pop

00:27:25.240 up there

00:27:25.580 they put out

00:27:26.120 a hit on me

00:27:26.760 they send out

00:27:27.600 some assassins

00:27:28.480 to come find

00:27:29.200 me

00:27:29.440 YouTube

00:27:29.980 isn't it

00:27:30.380 we are all

00:27:30.940 persona

00:27:33.160 anymore

00:27:34.000 at YouTube

00:27:34.820 so you're

00:27:35.500 probably not

00:27:35.740 seeing us

00:27:36.000 there

00:27:36.080 but if you're

00:27:36.360 on Facebook

00:27:36.820 sorry

00:27:37.220 you've got to

00:27:37.520 go to

00:27:37.720 dailywire.com

00:27:39.680 what do you get

00:27:41.020 if you go there

00:27:41.460 it's $10 a month

00:27:42.280 or $100

00:27:42.640 for an annual

00:27:43.680 membership

00:27:44.080 you get me

00:27:44.780 you get the

00:27:45.820 Ben Shapiro show

00:27:46.460 you get the

00:27:46.760 leftist tears

00:27:47.160 tumbler

00:27:47.560 this is very

00:27:48.220 important

00:27:48.680 because

00:27:49.520 whenever you say

00:27:50.800 anything mean

00:27:51.340 about one of

00:27:51.740 their gods

00:27:52.840 one of their

00:27:53.240 deities

00:27:53.600 like Walter

00:27:54.080 Cronkite

00:27:54.480 the leftist

00:27:55.140 tears start

00:27:55.520 spewing

00:27:56.120 you're going to

00:27:57.560 get a lot of

00:27:58.000 this now

00:27:58.460 those Obama

00:27:59.360 portraits were

00:27:59.940 so hideous

00:28:00.480 that it'll

00:28:00.720 probably spike

00:28:01.380 some leftist

00:28:02.220 tears

00:28:02.400 so you're

00:28:02.940 going to

00:28:03.020 need that

00:28:03.360 cup

00:29:19.380 we'll be

00:29:20.020 right back

00:29:20.720 the question

00:29:32.320 we began

00:29:32.840 with

00:29:33.060 this is

00:29:33.480 the sum

00:29:34.280 of it

00:29:34.480 all

00:29:34.700 the question

00:29:35.140 we began

00:29:35.500 with

00:29:35.660 why did

00:29:36.060 the American

00:29:36.400 media

00:29:36.660 hate

00:29:36.880 their own

00:29:37.140 country

00:29:37.540 why did

00:29:38.280 they used

00:29:38.580 to side

00:29:39.020 with their

00:29:39.280 own

00:29:39.420 country

00:29:39.660 but now

00:29:39.960 they don't

00:29:40.580 the answer

00:29:41.680 is their

00:29:42.420 ignorant

00:29:43.100 feigned

00:29:43.620 objectivity

00:29:44.320 which is

00:29:45.140 not just

00:29:45.640 typified by

00:29:46.340 Walter Cronkite

00:29:46.980 it actually

00:29:47.380 began with

00:29:47.980 him

00:29:48.140 that last

00:29:48.800 clip tells

00:29:49.240 us the

00:29:49.480 whole story

00:29:50.060 American

00:29:50.760 journalists

00:29:51.260 in 2018

00:29:51.860 consider

00:29:52.380 themselves

00:29:52.920 citizens

00:29:53.760 of the

00:29:54.380 world

00:29:54.760 here is

00:29:55.520 Christiane Amanpour

00:29:56.300 from CNN

00:29:56.860 okay you've

00:29:58.000 talked about

00:29:58.440 nationalism

00:29:58.940 and tribalism

00:29:59.760 here today

00:30:00.200 I asked him

00:30:00.700 how did you

00:30:01.420 have the guts

00:30:02.600 to confront

00:30:03.880 the prevailing

00:30:04.960 winds of

00:30:05.900 anti-globalization

00:30:07.440 nationalism

00:30:09.020 populism

00:30:09.980 when you

00:30:10.560 could see

00:30:10.880 what happened

00:30:11.360 in Brexit

00:30:11.880 where you

00:30:12.260 could see

00:30:12.560 what happened

00:30:13.000 in the United

00:30:13.420 States

00:30:13.780 and what

00:30:14.140 might have

00:30:14.520 happened

00:30:14.780 in many

00:30:15.180 European

00:30:15.600 elections

00:30:16.000 at the

00:30:16.360 beginning

00:30:16.620 of 2017

00:30:18.220 and he

00:30:19.720 said

00:30:20.140 for me

00:30:21.640 nationalism

00:30:22.860 means war

00:30:23.980 make sure

00:30:24.980 that you

00:30:25.360 go to

00:30:25.920 the trusted

00:30:26.600 brands

00:30:27.280 to get

00:30:27.800 your main

00:30:28.720 information

00:30:29.160 no matter

00:30:29.500 whether you

00:30:29.880 have a

00:30:30.600 wide

00:30:31.140 eclectic

00:30:32.000 you know

00:30:32.660 intake

00:30:33.420 really stick

00:30:34.780 with the

00:30:35.360 brand names

00:30:36.080 that you

00:30:36.520 know

00:30:36.800 because in

00:30:37.500 this world

00:30:38.240 right now

00:30:38.740 at this

00:30:39.240 moment

00:30:39.580 right now

00:30:40.180 our crises

00:30:41.380 our challenges

00:30:42.300 our problems

00:30:43.200 are so severe

00:30:44.300 that unless

00:30:45.440 we are all

00:30:46.140 engaged

00:30:46.760 as global

00:30:47.760 citizens

00:30:48.260 who appreciate

00:30:49.320 the truth

00:30:50.040 who understand

00:30:51.260 science

00:30:52.300 empirical evidence

00:30:53.420 and facts

00:30:54.220 then we are

00:30:55.380 just simply

00:30:56.000 going to be

00:30:56.640 wandering along

00:30:57.900 to a potential

00:30:59.720 catastrophe

00:31:00.420 don't you dare

00:31:01.540 listen to anybody

00:31:02.280 other than us

00:31:02.960 you can only

00:31:03.440 listen to CNN

00:31:04.180 you know

00:31:04.540 because you

00:31:04.920 want to

00:31:05.140 search for the

00:31:05.560 truth

00:31:05.760 so don't

00:31:06.160 read anybody

00:31:06.700 other than

00:31:07.100 CNN

00:31:07.420 because that's

00:31:08.240 how you

00:31:08.460 find the

00:31:08.800 truth

00:31:09.040 is by only

00:31:09.560 reading one

00:31:10.060 source

00:31:10.340 and it's

00:31:10.660 us

00:31:10.860 Christiane

00:31:11.540 Amanpour

00:31:11.980 or as

00:31:12.800 Andrew

00:31:13.180 Klavan

00:31:13.420 calls her

00:31:13.880 Christiane

00:31:14.700 Amanpour

00:31:15.140 journalist

00:31:15.700 Christiane

00:31:18.100 Amanpour

00:31:18.540 ostensibly

00:31:19.440 a naturalized

00:31:20.580 American

00:31:20.940 citizen

00:31:21.360 but that's

00:31:21.960 not how

00:31:22.220 she thinks

00:31:22.600 of herself

00:31:23.060 she doesn't

00:31:23.880 think of

00:31:24.120 herself

00:31:24.340 as an

00:31:24.600 American

00:31:24.840 citizen

00:31:25.220 she thinks

00:31:25.860 of herself

00:31:26.240 as a

00:31:26.620 global

00:31:27.080 citizen

00:31:27.560 a citizen

00:31:28.540 of the

00:31:28.920 world

00:31:29.300 I

00:31:30.020 literally

00:31:30.580 just

00:31:30.940 picked

00:31:31.240 her

00:31:31.400 at

00:31:31.620 random

00:31:32.100 when looking

00:31:32.820 for a

00:31:33.140 clip

00:31:33.320 of a

00:31:33.640 journalist

00:31:33.940 calling himself

00:31:34.660 a citizen

00:31:35.020 of the

00:31:35.300 world

00:31:35.480 I'm

00:31:35.980 pretty sure

00:31:36.300 I could

00:31:36.520 google

00:31:36.800 basically

00:31:37.600 any

00:31:38.000 major

00:31:38.440 mainstream

00:31:38.840 journalist

00:31:39.280 and find

00:31:39.940 a clip

00:31:40.280 of him

00:31:40.540 describing

00:31:40.940 himself

00:31:41.220 as a

00:31:41.520 citizen

00:31:41.740 of the

00:31:41.980 world

00:31:42.220 this

00:31:43.180 is

00:31:43.480 perhaps

00:31:43.840 the most

00:31:44.180 frequently

00:31:44.760 used

00:31:45.260 empty

00:31:45.640 phrase

00:31:46.060 in the

00:31:46.400 elite

00:31:46.660 halls

00:31:46.960 of the

00:31:47.180 United

00:31:47.380 States

00:31:47.780 when I

00:31:48.680 was in

00:31:48.900 college

00:31:49.240 the

00:31:49.700 administration

00:31:50.080 told us

00:31:50.680 this

00:31:50.840 all the

00:31:51.260 time

00:31:51.600 we are

00:31:52.180 educating

00:31:52.620 you to

00:31:52.860 be

00:31:53.000 citizens

00:31:53.380 of the

00:31:53.760 world

00:31:54.220 we are

00:31:54.800 a

00:31:54.940 global

00:31:55.440 university

00:31:56.040 I'm

00:31:56.300 sure

00:31:56.400 Ben

00:31:56.640 heard

00:31:56.800 the same

00:31:57.140 thing

00:31:57.320 at

00:31:57.420 Harvard

00:31:57.700 it is

00:31:58.600 especially

00:31:59.080 ironic

00:31:59.520 actually

00:31:59.900 in the

00:32:00.180 case

00:32:00.360 of Yale

00:32:00.700 because

00:32:01.140 Yale

00:32:01.360 used to

00:32:01.760 be

00:32:01.980 the

00:32:02.320 American

00:32:02.800 university

00:32:03.360 the most

00:32:03.920 famous

00:32:04.300 alumnus

00:32:04.740 of Yale

00:32:05.140 which is

00:32:05.780 now a

00:32:06.060 global

00:32:06.340 university

00:32:06.820 that educates

00:32:07.380 citizens

00:32:07.680 of the

00:32:07.920 world

00:32:08.120 is the

00:32:09.020 American

00:32:09.460 revolutionary

00:32:10.080 Nathan

00:32:10.640 Hale

00:32:11.040 who famously

00:32:11.860 said

00:32:12.280 as the

00:32:12.600 British

00:32:12.860 hanged him

00:32:13.380 I only

00:32:14.120 regret

00:32:14.480 that I

00:32:14.800 have

00:32:15.020 but one

00:32:15.600 life

00:32:15.880 to lose

00:32:16.280 for my

00:32:16.680 country

00:32:17.140 but now

00:32:18.160 it's a

00:32:18.340 global

00:32:18.860 university

00:32:19.680 journalists

00:32:20.540 used to

00:32:21.040 consider

00:32:21.340 at least

00:32:22.220 national

00:32:23.080 security

00:32:23.520 concerns

00:32:24.040 they would

00:32:24.520 work with

00:32:24.840 the State

00:32:25.100 Department

00:32:25.480 or with

00:32:25.700 the White

00:32:26.000 House

00:32:26.260 when they

00:32:26.720 were

00:32:26.800 covering

00:32:27.080 foreign

00:32:27.400 affairs

00:32:27.800 they didn't

00:32:28.600 hate

00:32:29.360 their

00:32:29.540 country

00:32:29.880 now

00:32:30.340 they

00:32:30.520 attack

00:32:30.880 our

00:32:31.160 milquetoast

00:32:31.900 vice

00:32:32.220 president

00:32:32.640 and they

00:32:33.240 fawn over

00:32:33.880 a murderous

00:32:34.460 dictatress

00:32:35.200 and it's

00:32:36.120 not just

00:32:36.440 universities

00:32:36.940 and journalists

00:32:37.680 perhaps the

00:32:38.220 most dangerous

00:32:38.780 of all

00:32:39.320 the largest

00:32:40.280 publishing

00:32:40.760 company

00:32:41.140 in the

00:32:41.480 history

00:32:41.800 of the

00:32:42.080 world

00:32:42.400 considers

00:32:43.120 itself

00:32:43.600 not

00:32:44.040 an

00:32:44.260 American

00:32:44.680 entity

00:32:45.200 but a

00:32:45.720 global

00:32:46.000 one

00:32:46.320 here is

00:32:46.840 Mark Zuckerberg

00:32:47.580 at the

00:32:47.940 Global

00:32:48.380 Citizen

00:32:48.900 Festival

00:32:49.440 in

00:32:49.900 2015

00:32:50.360 if

00:32:51.760 everyone

00:32:52.060 has access

00:32:52.660 to the

00:32:53.100 tools

00:32:53.440 knowledge

00:32:53.820 and

00:32:54.000 opportunities

00:32:54.480 of

00:32:54.760 connectivity

00:32:55.180 we

00:32:56.020 give voice

00:32:56.580 to the

00:32:56.880 voiceless

00:32:57.220 and power

00:32:58.220 to the

00:32:58.600 powerless

00:32:58.980 when we're

00:33:00.060 all connected

00:33:00.540 we can

00:33:01.220 achieve

00:33:01.700 our

00:33:01.980 global

00:33:02.380 goals

00:33:02.880 that's

00:33:04.160 why this

00:33:04.520 morning

00:33:04.780 I spoke

00:33:05.340 to the

00:33:05.600 United

00:33:05.860 Nations

00:33:06.280 over the

00:33:07.420 next few

00:33:07.840 days

00:33:08.180 a lot

00:33:08.680 of focus

00:33:09.100 is going

00:33:09.400 to be

00:33:09.560 on world

00:33:09.940 leaders

00:33:10.300 but if

00:33:11.320 we want

00:33:11.520 to achieve

00:33:11.980 real

00:33:12.320 change

00:33:12.780 we need

00:33:13.420 you

00:33:13.740 and leaders

00:33:14.260 in every

00:33:14.680 community

00:33:15.100 to make

00:33:15.540 their voices

00:33:16.060 heard

00:33:16.460 tonight

00:33:17.520 is a part

00:33:18.320 of something

00:33:18.720 very important

00:33:19.480 we are not

00:33:20.540 a generation

00:33:21.140 of bystanders

00:33:22.060 we are all

00:33:23.100 global

00:33:23.480 citizens

00:33:23.940 let's go

00:33:24.940 connect the

00:33:25.340 world

00:33:26.020 it's so

00:33:26.580 creepy

00:33:27.060 yikes

00:33:28.220 it's like

00:33:28.620 he studied

00:33:29.580 in Italian

00:33:30.240 for three

00:33:30.720 seconds

00:33:31.080 and he's like

00:33:31.440 I gotta move

00:33:31.860 my hands

00:33:32.320 up and down

00:33:32.820 do I

00:33:33.040 Facebook

00:33:33.660 is the

00:33:34.060 largest

00:33:34.420 publishing

00:33:34.880 company

00:33:35.220 in the

00:33:35.540 history

00:33:35.940 of the

00:33:36.420 world

00:33:36.740 even though

00:33:37.960 it pretends

00:33:38.340 not to be

00:33:38.760 a publishing

00:33:39.120 company

00:33:39.420 actually

00:33:39.700 it says

00:33:39.900 we're just

00:33:40.240 a tech

00:33:40.540 company

00:33:40.780 we're a

00:33:41.080 social

00:33:41.340 network

00:33:41.840 we're

00:33:42.400 you know

00:33:42.700 we just

00:33:43.020 let people

00:33:43.460 but that

00:33:43.940 isn't

00:33:44.240 true

00:33:44.900 it isn't

00:33:45.360 a social

00:33:45.700 network

00:33:46.040 it's a

00:33:46.580 publishing

00:33:46.940 company

00:33:47.380 there's a

00:33:47.880 new

00:33:48.000 algorithm

00:33:48.420 which is

00:33:48.880 killing

00:33:49.180 us

00:33:49.400 by the

00:33:49.640 way

00:33:49.820 it is

00:33:50.100 killing

00:33:56.020 either

00:33:56.480 my

00:33:56.760 Facebook

00:33:57.100 page

00:33:57.500 or

00:33:59.180 Wire

00:33:59.440 you have

00:33:59.980 to go

00:34:00.280 to that

00:34:00.540 page

00:34:00.840 now

00:34:01.080 physically

00:34:01.440 and

00:34:02.000 whitelist

00:34:02.620 the page

00:34:03.200 and say

00:34:03.480 you want

00:34:03.900 to get

00:34:04.240 information

00:34:05.020 from those

00:34:05.440 pages

00:34:05.780 because they're

00:34:06.240 trying to

00:34:06.540 block us

00:34:06.940 they're

00:34:07.060 trying to

00:34:07.320 kill us

00:34:07.620 they decide

00:34:08.600 Facebook

00:34:08.960 decides

00:34:09.400 what news

00:34:10.320 gets through

00:34:13.920 but they

00:34:14.560 think

00:34:14.980 globally

00:34:15.640 they don't

00:34:16.140 think

00:34:16.340 nationally

00:34:16.800 they say

00:34:17.520 we're not

00:34:17.820 an American

00:34:18.660 company

00:34:19.080 we started

00:34:20.360 out in

00:34:21.040 America

00:34:21.400 I'm an

00:34:21.760 American

00:34:22.080 citizen

00:34:22.440 we developed

00:34:23.080 it here

00:34:23.440 at American

00:34:23.860 University

00:34:24.340 but no

00:34:24.940 we think

00:34:25.420 globally

00:34:26.420 this is

00:34:27.520 really awful

00:34:28.060 the trouble

00:34:29.100 with all of

00:34:29.720 this lefty

00:34:30.240 claptrap

00:34:30.700 is there

00:34:31.120 is no

00:34:31.440 such thing

00:34:31.940 as a

00:34:32.200 global

00:34:32.600 citizen

00:34:33.240 there's

00:34:33.560 no

00:34:33.740 such

00:34:33.960 thing

00:34:34.200 there's

00:34:34.460 no

00:34:34.740 citizenship

00:34:35.400 of the

00:34:36.340 world

00:34:36.680 it's

00:34:37.120 another

00:34:37.380 use

00:34:37.740 of

00:34:37.880 euphemistic

00:34:38.460 language

00:34:38.940 kind of

00:34:39.420 like

00:34:39.560 we were

00:34:39.760 talking

00:34:39.940 about

00:34:40.100 last

00:34:40.380 week

00:34:40.660 on

00:34:40.980 gay 0.99

00:34:41.280 marriage

00:34:41.660 the

00:34:42.340 conservative

00:34:43.200 opposition

00:34:43.720 to

00:34:43.940 gay 0.99

00:34:44.140 marriage

00:34:44.500 is not

00:34:45.180 that we

00:34:45.440 don't

00:34:45.600 like

00:34:45.780 gay 0.99

00:34:45.940 people

00:34:46.240 we

00:34:46.520 don't

00:34:46.700 want

00:34:46.880 them

00:34:47.000 to

00:34:47.120 do

00:34:47.240 whatever

00:34:47.460 they

00:34:47.620 want

00:34:47.800 to

00:34:47.900 do

00:34:48.020 with

00:34:48.180 one

00:34:48.340 another

00:34:48.620 be

00:34:48.880 happy

00:34:49.220 or

00:34:49.500 follow

00:34:50.080 their

00:34:50.280 consciences

00:34:50.800 or whatever

00:34:51.240 it's

00:34:52.080 that the

00:34:52.360 phrase

00:34:52.740 is

00:34:52.900 nonsense

00:34:53.320 that the

00:34:54.100 definition

00:34:54.620 of

00:34:55.080 marriage

00:34:55.560 implies

00:34:56.760 sexual

00:34:57.240 difference

00:34:57.700 that it's

00:34:58.200 logically

00:34:58.720 it's

00:34:59.520 something

00:34:59.760 akin to

00:35:00.280 a hot

00:35:00.720 ice cube

00:35:01.300 it just

00:35:01.920 does

00:35:02.160 the phrase

00:35:02.660 doesn't

00:35:02.940 make sense

00:35:03.360 that's

00:35:03.840 the same

00:35:04.200 problem

00:35:04.560 with

00:35:04.720 global

00:35:05.080 citizenship

00:35:05.620 a

00:35:06.240 citizen

00:35:06.640 belongs

00:35:07.160 to a

00:35:07.480 country

00:35:07.860 in a

00:35:08.440 democratic

00:35:08.920 republic

00:35:09.580 such as

00:35:10.020 ours

00:35:10.340 citizens

00:35:11.060 govern

00:35:11.460 ourselves

00:35:11.940 in other

00:35:12.540 countries

00:35:12.860 this isn't

00:35:13.280 the case

00:35:13.620 they are

00:35:13.920 governed

00:35:14.180 by others

00:35:14.760 but

00:35:15.180 citizenship

00:35:15.660 has a

00:35:17.800 one

00:35:18.120 to

00:35:18.520 certain

00:35:18.820 privileges

00:35:19.280 and

00:35:19.840 rights

00:35:20.280 granted

00:35:20.800 or

00:35:21.140 acknowledged

00:35:21.680 by the

00:35:22.060 government

00:35:22.380 it

00:35:22.920 entitles

00:35:23.400 one

00:35:23.600 to

00:35:23.720 protection

00:35:24.100 by the

00:35:24.760 military

00:35:25.180 and police

00:35:25.660 forces

00:35:26.080 and it

00:35:26.660 comes with

00:35:26.980 certain

00:35:27.280 obligations

00:35:27.900 taxation

00:35:32.040 what

00:35:32.240 have

00:35:32.440 you

00:35:32.600 it's

00:35:33.160 a

00:35:33.260 relationship

00:35:33.780 with

00:35:34.160 tangible

00:35:34.780 consequences

00:35:35.560 global

00:35:36.620 citizenship

00:35:37.100 entails

00:35:37.500 none of

00:35:37.820 these

00:35:38.280 one's

00:35:39.320 rights

00:35:39.660 and

00:35:40.180 are

00:35:40.400 not

00:35:40.700 protected

00:35:41.360 simply

00:35:41.820 by virtue

00:35:42.360 of

00:35:43.100 in the

00:35:44.040 just

00:35:44.620 ask

00:36:30.320 no

00:36:30.480 small

00:36:50.880 on

00:36:58.960 maybe

00:36:59.700 they

00:36:59.920 do

00:37:00.160 but

00:37:00.500 we

00:37:01.000 sustain

00:37:01.360 that

00:37:07.460 this

00:37:07.920 is

00:37:08.060 part

00:37:08.220 of

00:37:08.300 the

00:37:09.420 a

00:37:09.520 few

00:37:09.640 weeks

00:37:09.980 the

00:37:10.760 impulse

00:37:11.240 of

00:37:12.360 to try

00:37:19.760 you

00:37:20.800 aren't

00:37:21.160 better

00:37:24.040 country

00:37:24.400 men

00:37:24.660 American

00:37:25.440 journalists

00:37:26.040 want to

00:37:26.400 call

00:37:26.560 balls

00:37:26.900 and

00:37:27.100 strikes

00:37:27.400 on

00:37:27.620 foreign

00:37:27.880 affairs

00:37:28.260 but

00:37:28.720 they

00:37:28.880 shouldn't

00:37:29.180 call

00:37:29.360 balls

00:37:29.600 and

00:37:29.760 strikes

00:37:30.060 because

00:37:30.560 they're

00:37:30.820 Americans

00:37:31.280 and

00:37:31.740 they

00:37:31.840 have

00:37:31.980 a

00:37:32.140 stake

00:37:32.520 in

00:37:32.720 America's

00:37:33.260 coming

00:37:33.480 out

00:37:33.700 on top

00:37:34.200 in

00:37:34.380 the

00:37:34.500 world

00:37:34.860 the

00:37:35.340 Davos

00:37:35.720 crowd's

00:37:36.160 impulse

00:37:36.600 to be

00:37:37.100 the

00:37:37.240 umpire

00:37:37.600 is

00:37:37.820 the

00:37:37.980 same

00:37:38.240 impulse

00:37:38.660 that

00:37:39.020 caused

00:37:39.240 Adam

00:37:39.640 to

00:37:39.840 sin

00:37:40.180 in

00:37:40.380 the

00:37:40.480 garden

00:37:40.740 it

00:37:41.140 is

00:37:41.260 the

00:37:41.420 sin

00:37:41.640 of

00:37:41.840 pride

00:37:42.180 there

00:37:42.360 is

00:37:42.480 only

00:37:42.660 one

00:37:42.940 umpire

00:37:43.320 the

00:37:43.660 rest

00:37:43.900 of

00:37:53.500 sophisticated

00:37:53.940 and

00:37:54.340 maybe

00:37:54.580 that's

00:37:54.820 a

00:37:54.900 good

00:37:55.000 word

00:37:55.180 to

00:37:55.320 use

00:37:55.560 because

00:37:55.960 it

00:37:56.120 certainly

00:37:56.380 does

00:37:56.760 make

00:37:56.980 them

00:37:57.120 look

00:37:57.320 like

00:37:57.760 fools
