Barry Goldwater, 1964 Convention, One World Government Rhetoric
A review of Barry Goldwater's 1964 acceptance speech reveals surprising rhetoric about an "Atlantic civilization" and a "mighty system" linking the Americas. The hosts contrast this globalist-sounding language with Goldwater's reputation as a hardline conservative and member of the John Birch Society.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, speaking at an Atlantic Council event, described the current era as a "historic defining time" for a "new world order." Hagel's use of the specific phrase "new world order" is noted as a significant rhetorical choice during a period of global instability. The comments suggest a shift in post-World War II international structures as the U.S. navigates multiple conflicts in the Middle East and Eastern Europe.
Zbigniew Brzezinski Full Remarks on Global Diversification
The show concludes with a full recording of Zbigniew Brzezinski's speech regarding the shift from an Atlantic-dominated world to a diversified global leadership including China and India. Brzezinski emphasizes that for the first time in history, the global population is "politically awakened," creating a complex and difficult environment for the United States to maintain its leading role.
The hosts discuss their media consumption habits while traveling, specifically praising Virgin Atlantic's entertainment and The Economist's coverage of Africa and Asia. They contrast this with the "fluff" found in Time and Newsweek. The conversation returns to George Soros and his mention of a "Better World Order" as a rebranding of globalist agendas.
