1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: I'm becoming more and more impressed with Mark Carney as

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: time goes on. Mark Carney, of course, the Canadian Prime Minister,

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: wrote a really great book of which I read over

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,079
Speaker 1: someona called Values. Anyway, I said that Mark Carney is

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: very impressive yesday on the radio, and I got a

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: text that said that Carnee is just Trudeaver but without

7
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: Katy Perry, which is a very snappy one line I

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: fed to my text by the presidents came and nowhere

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: near the truth. Carney yesterday gave a speech to Davos

10
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: that may go down in history as one of the

11
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 1: big ones, will go down as being era defining. He said,

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,239
Speaker 1: the great powers can go along alone. They have the

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: size and the money and the military to do whatever

14
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: they want. But that doesn't mean that the middle powers

15
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: don't exist. He made a call for countries like Canada

16
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: and Australia and South Korea and others to build strategic

17
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: autonomy and collaborate to stabilize the global system. Don't worry

18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:50,880
Speaker 1: about the big guys, the middle guys need to talk together.

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: He argued that middle powers could no longer rely on

20
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 1: great powers to maintain order. In fact, they appear hell

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: bent on sewing disorder. Canni frame the moment is a

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: pivot point. Either middle powers coordinate to build a more resilient,

23
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: cooperative system, or the world sizees deeper into fragmentation. And

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: then he said some words that completely freaked out the

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: conspiracy class. He said, the old error is gone, and

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: it's time to build a new world order. But his

27
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: new world order is not built on power and subjugation

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: and pedophiles and whatever. His new world order is based

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: on cooperation amongst the middle nations. He named the rupture.

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: He explained its causes, and argued that the future will

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 1: be shaped not by superpowers alone, but by the coalitions

32
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: of capable, mid sized nations. I thought it was brilliant.

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: You know, Trump's speech for seventy two minutes was not brilliant.

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: Cannie is the smart guy who might just win at

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: the end of the movie. Now we are not a

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: middle power. We're not even a small power anymore. The

37
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: world order has changed, and the way New Zealand used

38
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: to virtual signal no longer carries any weight. It's time

39
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: to find our friends and maximize our relationships with them.

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: Because the elephants had done and as mice need to

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: find a safe place so we don't get crushed. For
