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
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.
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?

00:03:35.600 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
00:06:32.060 Kim Yo-dragon lady.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
00:10:47.320 They're going to root for their own country.
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.
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,
00:15:23.460 and bloodthirsty barbarians.
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
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.
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
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
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
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
00:27:31.520 non
00:27:31.960 persona

00:27:32.860 grat
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
00:27:45.040 Andrew Klavan show
00:27:45.560 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
00:33:57.740 Ben's
00:33:58.180 or
00:33:58.300 Drew's
00:33:58.720 or
00:33:58.820 The
00:33:58.980 Daily
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
00:34:10.800 and what
00:34:11.560 doesn't
00:34:12.600 Facebook
00:34:13.000 is an
00:34:13.300 American
00:34:13.540 company
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
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
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
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
00:35:24.420 nation's
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
00:35:28.740 in some

00:35:31.700 what
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
00:35:37.960 things
00:35:38.280 one's
00:35:39.320 rights
00:35:39.660 and
00:35:39.820 privileges
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
00:35:42.560 existing
00:35:43.100 in the
00:35:43.760 world
00:35:44.040 just
00:35:44.620 ask
00:35:44.900 the
00:35:45.060 citizens
00:35:45.340 of
00:35:45.520 North
00:35:45.680 Korea
00:35:46.020 because
00:35:46.660 rights

00:35:47.280 to
00:35:47.360 be
00:35:47.500 protected
00:35:47.920 and

00:35:55.240 what's
00:35:55.680 called

00:35:58.260 370
00:35:59.160 years
00:35:59.660 since

00:36:00.660 of
00:36:00.780 Westphalia
00:36:01.380 ended

00:36:06.680 bind
00:36:07.200 countrymen
00:36:07.700 together
00:36:08.060 they
00:36:08.600 can't
00:36:08.900 be
00:36:09.080 stretched
00:36:09.480 indefinitely
00:36:10.080 they
00:36:11.120 can't
00:36:11.340 be stretched
00:36:11.720 infinitely
00:36:12.240 we
00:36:12.980 can't
00:36:13.700 even
00:36:13.960 get
00:36:14.180 Italians
00:36:14.820 excuse
00:36:15.220 me
00:36:15.380 I'll
00:36:15.520 use
00:36:15.640 my
00:36:15.800 own
00:36:15.960 ancestors
00:36:16.340 we
00:36:16.800 cannot

00:36:17.280 Italians
00:36:17.700 from

00:36:18.620 and
00:36:18.820 the
00:36:18.940 north
00:36:19.160 to
00:36:19.520 believe
00:36:19.720 that
00:36:19.880 they're
00:36:20.000 part
00:36:20.180 of
00:36:20.260 the
00:36:20.360 same
00:36:20.520 country
00:36:20.860 much
00:36:21.540 less
00:36:21.820 can
00:36:21.980 we
00:36:22.100 get
00:36:22.240 Italians
00:36:22.760 to
00:36:23.200 consider

00:36:26.980 of the
00:36:27.660 world
00:36:27.940 the
00:36:28.320 reason
00:36:28.640 this
00:36:28.840 matters
00:36:29.120 so
00:36:29.380 much
00:36:29.620 is
00:36:29.820 that
00:36:29.940 it
00:36:30.040 is
00:36:30.200 in
00:36:30.320 no
00:36:30.480 small
00:36:30.740 part
00:36:31.100 what
00:36:31.520 Donald
00:36:31.840 Trump
00:36:32.100 premised
00:36:32.500 his
00:36:32.680 campaign
00:36:33.100 on
00:36:33.360 this
00:36:33.920 is
00:36:34.080 what
00:36:34.220 is
00:36:34.360 meant
00:36:34.520 by

00:36:38.660 they
00:36:39.160 no
00:36:39.360 longer
00:36:39.620 believe
00:36:40.200 in
00:36:40.460 the
00:36:40.580 nation
00:36:40.860 state
00:36:41.220 they
00:36:41.760 think
00:36:42.040 they
00:36:42.180 have
00:36:42.340 much
00:36:42.800 more
00:36:43.120 in
00:36:43.320 common
00:36:43.640 with
00:36:44.160 their
00:36:44.320 fellow
00:36:44.800 enlightened
00:36:45.440 cosmopolites
00:36:46.360 the

00:36:48.640 and
00:36:49.040 drink
00:36:49.260 kombucha
00:36:49.760 and
00:36:50.340 I'm
00:36:50.540 getting
00:36:50.700 off
00:36:50.880 on
00:36:50.980 a
00:36:51.080 tangent
00:36:51.340 but
00:36:51.600 those
00:36:51.800 people
00:36:52.060 they
00:36:52.440 feel
00:36:53.100 that
00:36:53.500 they
00:36:53.620 have

00:36:55.180 in
00:36:55.360 London
00:36:55.680 than
00:36:56.200 their

00:36:57.000 in
00:36:57.160 Texas
00:36:57.500 and
00:36:58.340 maybe
00:36:58.540 they
00:36:58.700 do
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
00:37:00.660 can't
00:37:01.000 sustain
00:37:01.360 that
00:37:01.660 forever
00:37:02.160 because
00:37:02.940 their
00:37:03.560 buddies
00:37:03.960 in
00:37:04.160 London
00:37:04.440 aren't

00:37:05.880 them
00:37:06.140 and

00:37:06.900 their
00:37:07.080 rights
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
00:37:08.400 theme
00:37:08.580 we've
00:37:08.760 been
00:37:08.840 talking
00:37:09.120 about
00:37:09.300 for
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
00:37:11.500 rationalism
00:37:12.360 to try
00:37:12.960 to

00:37:13.620 oneself
00:37:14.000 from

00:37:19.760 you
00:37:20.800 aren't
00:37:21.160 better

00:37:24.400 men
00:37:24.660 American

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
