• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I'm becoming more and more impressed with Mark Carney as
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: time goes on. Mark Carney, of course, the Canadian Prime Minister,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: wrote a really great book of which I read over
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: someona called Values. Anyway, I said that Mark Carney is
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: very impressive yesday on the radio, and I got a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: text that said that Carnee is just Trudeaver but without
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Katy Perry, which is a very snappy one line I
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: fed to my text by the presidents came and nowhere
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: near the truth. Carney yesterday gave a speech to Davos
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that may go down in history as one of the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: big ones, will go down as being era defining. He said,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the great powers can go along alone. They have the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: size and the money and the military to do whatever
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: they want. But that doesn't mean that the middle powers
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: don't exist. He made a call for countries like Canada
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and Australia and South Korea and others to build strategic
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: autonomy and collaborate to stabilize the global system. Don't worry
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: about the big guys, the middle guys need to talk together.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: He argued that middle powers could no longer rely on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: great powers to maintain order. In fact, they appear hell
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: bent on sewing disorder. Canni frame the moment is a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: pivot point. Either middle powers coordinate to build a more resilient,
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: cooperative system, or the world sizees deeper into fragmentation. And
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: then he said some words that completely freaked out the
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: conspiracy class. He said, the old error is gone, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: it's time to build a new world order. But his
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: new world order is not built on power and subjugation
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: and pedophiles and whatever. His new world order is based
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: on cooperation amongst the middle nations. He named the rupture.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: He explained its causes, and argued that the future will
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: be shaped not by superpowers alone, but by the coalitions
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: of capable, mid sized nations. I thought it was brilliant.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You know, Trump's speech for seventy two minutes was not brilliant.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Cannie is the smart guy who might just win at
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the end of the movie. Now we are not a
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: middle power. We're not even a small power anymore. The
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: world order has changed, and the way New Zealand used
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to virtual signal no longer carries any weight. It's time
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to find our friends and maximize our relationships with them.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Because the elephants had done and as mice need to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: find a safe place so we don't get crushed. For
