>>> AT AGE

00:04.838 --> 00:05.806
29, DAVID MILIBAND 

00:05.806 --> 00:06.974
BECAME CHIEF OF

BLAIR.

00:11.812 --> 00:13.146
HE BECAME THE THIRD YOUNGEST 

00:13.146 --> 00:14.615
FOREIGN SECRETARY, THAT'S THE 

00:14.615 --> 00:16.016
EQUIVALENT OF SECRETARY OF STATE

00:16.016 --> 00:17.017
IN BRITISH HISTORY.

00:17.017 --> 00:18.218
HE WAS EXPECTED BY MANY TO 

00:18.218 --> 00:19.586
BECOME LEADER OF THE LABOR

00:19.586 --> 00:20.087
 PARTY

00:20.087 --> 00:21.555
AND POSSIBLY PRIME

00:21.555 --> 00:22.856

00:22.856 --> 00:23.490
BUT THEN THE

00:23.490 --> 00:24.124
 SEEMINGLY

00:24.391 --> 00:24.958
UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED.

00:24.958 --> 00:26.460
HE LOST THE LEADERSHIP ELECTION

00:26.727 --> 00:28.896

HE SUBSEQUENTLY RESIGNED

00:29.997 --> 00:30.564

00:51.251 --> 00:52.152
MAY NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS.

00:52.152 --> 00:53.720
WHAT DOES

01:33.994 --> 01:34.962

01:34.962 --> 01:36.230
>> BOTH OF MY PARENTS WERE 

01:36.230 --> 01:36.597
REFUGEES.

01:36.597 --> 01:37.965
MY DAD CAME TO THE UK FROM

AND THEN CAME TO

 THE

01:52.546 --> 01:53.247

01:53.247 --> 01:54.515
AT SOME LEVEL I FEEL

 TODAY'S 

01:55.415 --> 01:56.683
REFUGEES, TODAY'S DISPLACED

GLOBAL AFFAIRS, THE

02:15.802 --> 02:16.203
 SYRIAN 

02:16.203 --> 02:17.237
PEOPLE ARE PAYING WHAT HAPPENED 

02:17.237 --> 02:17.971
IN IRAQ.

02:17.971 --> 02:19.506
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY

02:19.840 --> 02:20.140
THAT?

02:20.140 --> 02:21.208
>> I MEAN AS

02:21.208 --> 02:22.276
 PEOPLE REFLECT

02:22.276 --> 02:22.843
 ON 

02:22.843 --> 02:24.611
THE HUGE CHALLENGES AND

02:24.611 --> 02:25.045
 TRAUMA 

02:25.045 --> 02:26.146
OF THE DECAY OF

02:26.146 --> 02:28.081
 THE IRAQ WAR,

02:28.348 --> 02:29.550
THERE'S

02:29.550 --> 02:30.384
 UNDOUBTEDLY A FENCE

02:30.384 --> 02:30.784
 OF 

02:30.784 --> 02:31.885
REAL CAUTION IN THE WESTERN 

02:31.885 --> 02:32.586
WORLD GENERALLY.

02:32.586 --> 02:34.254
NOT JUST IN

02:34.254 --> 02:35.522
 THE UNITED STATES.

02:35.522 --> 02:36.757
ELSEWHERE -- AS WELL

02:36.757 --> 02:37.157

OVERSEAS

02:41.261 --> 02:41.628
OVERSEAS.

02:41.628 --> 02:42.362
AND TO THAT EXTENT, I THINK WHAT

02:42.362 --> 02:44.198
YOU'RE SEEING PLAYING

02:44.198 --> 02:44.698
 OUT IN 

02:44.698 --> 02:46.099
SYRIA WHERE EVERYONE ELSE IS 

02:46.099 --> 02:47.634
FIGHTING,

02:47.634 --> 02:47.868
 RUSSIA

02:47.868 --> 02:48.869
 IS THERE, THE 

02:48.869 --> 02:50.270
WEST ISN'T THERE, YOU'RE

02:50.270 --> 02:50.838
 SEEING 

02:50.838 --> 02:51.939
THE SYRIAN

02:51.939 --> 02:53.140
 PEOPLE,

02:53.140 --> 02:54.007
 CIVILIANS IN

02:54.274 --> 02:55.843
HUGE NUMBERS, 9

02:55.843 --> 02:56.343
 MILLION OF THEM

02:56.610 --> 02:57.845
DISPLACED FROM THEIR 

02:57.845 --> 02:58.245
HOMES, 

02:58.245 --> 02:59.813
THEY'RE INNOCENT VICTIMS OF A

03:00.080 --> 03:01.715
POWER STRUGGLE NOT ONLY GOING ON

03:01.715 --> 03:02.883
IN THE COUNTRY BUT WITHIN THE 

03:02.883 --> 03:03.217
REGION.

03:03.217 --> 03:04.284
>> WHERE DO YOU SEE THAT 

03:04.284 --> 03:05.319
CONFLICT HEADED?

03:05.319 --> 03:06.720
>> AT THE MOMENT IT'S GETTING 

03:06.720 --> 03:07.421
WORSE AND WORSE.

03:07.421 --> 03:08.889
THE OPTIONS ARE NARROWING AND

03:09.156 --> 03:09.656
GETTING WORSE.

03:09.656 --> 03:11.158
AND THE PEOPLE I'M SEEKING TO 

03:11.158 --> 03:12.459
HELP, THOSE INSIDE

03:12.459 --> 03:13.026
 SYRIA AND 

03:13.026 --> 03:14.361
THOSE REFUGEES OUTSIDE, THOSE 

03:14.361 --> 03:15.395
ARE BECOMING DIRE.

03:15.395 --> 03:16.597
I MEAN, YOU HAVE

03:16.597 --> 03:17.164
 REPORTED ON 

03:17.164 --> 03:18.398
YOUR OWN

03:18.398 --> 03:19.266
 SHOW NOT JUST

03:19.266 --> 03:19.967
 THE MASS

03:20.367 --> 03:21.468
KILLINGS, 

03:21.468 --> 03:22.836
150,000

03:22.836 --> 03:23.303
 DEAD, NOT JUST

03:23.303 --> 03:24.571
3 MILLION REFUGEES IN

03:24.838 --> 03:25.572
NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES.

03:25.572 --> 03:27.574
BUT POLIO, POLIO WHICH WAS

03:27.841 --> 03:29.810
ERADICATED IN SYRIA NOW 

03:29.810 --> 03:30.210
REOCCURRING.

03:30.210 --> 03:32.513
REPORTS OF UP TO

03:32.746 --> 03:33.247
90,000 CHILDREN

03:33.247 --> 03:33.814
CARRYING POLIO.

03:33.814 --> 03:35.015
THIS IS THE -- IT'S

03:35.015 --> 03:35.749
 THE 

03:35.749 --> 03:36.984
DISSOLUTION OF A COUNTRY, OF

03:36.984 --> 03:37.784
 AN 

03:37.784 --> 03:38.585
EXTRAORDINARY COUNTRY AT THE 

03:38.585 --> 03:39.786
HEART OF THE MIDDLE EAST

03:40.053 --> 03:41.488
DISSOLVEING IN

03:41.488 --> 03:42.122
 THE FRONT OF OUR 

03:42.122 --> 03:42.656
VERY EYES.

03:42.656 --> 03:44.291
AND THAT'S WHY I THINK IT'S

03:44.558 --> 03:45.792
RIGHT TO CALL IT A SYRIA

03:45.792 --> 03:46.760
 -- CALL

03:46.760 --> 03:47.961
SYRIA A REGIONAL EMERGENCY.

03:47.961 --> 03:49.263
NOT JUST A LOCAL 

03:49.263 --> 03:49.630
EMERGENCY.

03:49.630 --> 03:50.864
>> AND SPEAKING OF DISSOLUTION 

03:50.864 --> 03:51.798
OF A

03:51.798 --> 03:53.166
 COUNTRY, AS A

03:53.166 --> 03:53.834
 FORMER

03:54.067 --> 03:55.202
BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY AND 

03:55.202 --> 03:56.336
KNOWING WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT 

03:56.336 --> 03:57.371
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, HOW 

03:57.371 --> 03:58.805
WOULD YOU ASSESS

03:58.805 --> 04:01.041
 WHAT'S GOING ON

04:01.041 --> 04:02.342
IN

04:02.342 --> 04:05.012
 CRIMEA AND WHAT

04:05.012 --> 04:05.512
 THE UNITED 

04:05.512 --> 04:06.446
STATES, 

04:06.446 --> 04:07.481
NATO, EUROPE AND HOW 

04:07.481 --> 04:08.282
THOSE GROUPS ARE RESPONDING TO 

04:08.282 --> 04:08.882
WHAT'S HAPPENING?

04:08.882 --> 04:10.017
>> WELL,

04:10.017 --> 04:11.485
 OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE NO

04:11.752 --> 04:13.387
MILITARY OPTIONS WITH RESPECT

04:13.387 --> 04:13.654
 TO

04:13.654 --> 04:15.055
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN 

04:15.055 --> 04:15.789
CRIMEA.

04:15.789 --> 04:16.823
BUT IT ALSO

04:16.823 --> 04:17.791
 REPRESENTS THE MOST 

04:17.791 --> 04:19.826
DIRECT THREAT FOR FIVE YEARS

04:19.826 --> 04:20.260
 OR 

04:20.260 --> 04:22.229
SIX YEARS TO THE

04:22.229 --> 04:22.829
 INTERNATIONAL 

04:22.829 --> 04:23.997
ORDER OF RULES THAT'S BEEN

04:24.264 --> 04:26.867
ESTABLISHED BY HOW THE TERRITORY

04:26.867 --> 04:27.935
OF STATES

04:28.268 --> 04:29.670
ESTABLISHED.

04:29.670 --> 04:30.737
IN 

04:30.737 --> 04:33.207
2008, YOU'LL REMEMBER

04:33.207 --> 04:33.607
 RUSSIA 

04:33.607 --> 04:36.643
ANNEXED

04:36.643 --> 04:36.743
 TW

04:36.743 --> 04:37.778
O PROVINCES OF

04:38.212 --> 04:38.545
GEORGIA.

04:38.545 --> 04:40.347
AND THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS

04:40.614 --> 04:41.715
CHALLENGE TO NATIONAL 

04:41.715 --> 04:43.217
AUTHORITIES OF ALL KIND.

04:43.217 --> 04:44.184
THERE'S NO MILITARY RESPONSE.

04:44.184 --> 04:45.786
THE KEY,

04:45.786 --> 04:45.919
 I 

04:45.919 --> 04:46.887
THINK,

04:46.887 --> 04:47.688
 IS ABOUT

04:47.688 --> 04:48.655
 HOW 

04:48.655 --> 04:49.957
DO COUNTRIES

04:49.957 --> 04:50.724
 IN EUROPE

04:50.724 --> 04:51.825
 RESPOND

04:52.125 --> 04:53.427
ECONOMICALLY

04:53.427 --> 04:54.928
 IN WHICH RUSSIA

04:55.195 --> 04:56.196
SALES IS VERY MUCH DEPENDENT.

04:56.196 --> 04:57.364
>> DO YOU THINK RUSSIA CONTINUES

04:57.364 --> 04:59.266
TO -- WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE

04:59.533 --> 05:01.001
PROSPECT OF RUSSIA POSSIBLY

05:01.268 --> 05:02.636
ATTEMPTING TO ANNEX OTHER PARTS 

05:02.636 --> 05:03.670
OF UKRAINE?

05:03.670 --> 05:05.839
>> THAT'S OBVIOUSLY THE GREAT 

05:05.839 --> 05:06.306
FEAR.

05:06.306 --> 05:07.407
WHENEVER YOU HEAR

05:07.407 --> 05:08.408
 PRESIDENT 

05:08.408 --> 05:09.409
PUTIN SAY HE'S

05:09.409 --> 05:10.711
 GOING TO RUSH THE

05:10.711 --> 05:12.179
DEFENSE OF RUSSIA HOLDING

05:12.179 --> 05:12.746
 PASS 

05:12.746 --> 05:13.747
PORTS WHEREVER

05:13.747 --> 05:14.915
 THEY ARE AND THAT

05:14.915 --> 05:16.783
IMMEDIATELY

10:15.415 --> 10:15.849
 INTEGRITY 

10:15.849 --> 10:16.450
AND WHAT'S IMPORTANT.

10:16.450 --> 10:17.651
>> YOU'VE BEEN QUOTED AS

10:17.651 --> 10:18.218
 SAYING 

10:18.218 --> 10:19.253
ESSENTIALLY THAT YOU KIND OF HAD

10:19.253 --> 10:20.420
NO CHOICE BUT TO LEAVE

10:20.420 --> 10:21.355
 THE UK.

10:21.355 --> 10:22.823
>> I THINK THAT IS

10:22.823 --> 10:23.257
 RIGHT.

10:23.257 --> 10:23.724
>> UH-HUH.

10:23.724 --> 10:24.591
>> I THINK THAT IS RIGHT.

10:24.591 --> 10:25.826
>> AN WHY IS 

10:25.826 --> 10:26.126
THAT?

10:26.126 --> 10:27.327
>> BECAUSE ANY TIME I SAID 

10:27.327 --> 10:28.629
ANYTHING, IT BECAME

10:28.629 --> 10:29.463
 PART OF A 

10:29.463 --> 10:30.931
GREAT BIG SOAP OPERA.

10:30.931 --> 10:32.366
EVEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT 

10:32.366 --> 10:32.699
CANE 

10:32.699 --> 10:33.901
AND ABEL.

10:33.901 --> 10:34.801
IF YOU'RE A

10:34.801 --> 10:35.369
 POLITICIAN THAT HAS 

10:35.369 --> 10:36.336
STRONG VIEWS, YOU HAVE TO BE 

10:36.336 --> 10:37.604
ABLE TO EXPRESS THEM.

10:37.604 --> 10:39.173
BUT IF IN THE END EVERYTHING YOU

10:39.173 --> 10:40.140
EXPRESS IS

10:40.140 --> 10:42.075
 DIAGNOSED

10:42.075 --> 10:42.509
 FOR WHETHER

10:42.509 --> 10:43.744
OR NOT IT IS A REBUKE, A 

10:43.744 --> 10:45.078
STANDING REBUKE TO THE WAY THE

10:45.345 --> 10:46.480
PARTY IS BEING 

10:46.480 --> 10:46.780
LED.

10:46.780 --> 10:47.948
>> OR TO YOUR BROTHER 

10:47.948 --> 10:48.348
PERSONALLY.

10:48.348 --> 10:48.682
>> YEAH.

10:48.682 --> 10:49.483
THEN THAT'S NOT FEASIBLE.  

10:49.483 --> 10:50.851
YOU'RE NOT CONTRIBUTING 

10:50.851 --> 10:51.818
ANYTHING, EITHER TO THE ADVANCE 

10:51.818 --> 10:53.687
OF WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN OR TO THE

10:53.687 --> 10:54.588
POLITICAL CORES THAT

10:54.588 --> 10:54.988
 YOU'RE 

10:54.988 --> 10:55.756
ASSOCIATED WITH.

10:55.756 --> 10:57.658
AND IN THAT 

10:57.658 --> 10:59.626
SENSE, I FELT IT WAS

10:59.626 --> 11:00.794
IMPOSSIBLE TO CARRY ON AS

11:00.794 --> 11:01.361
 I WAS.

11:01.361 --> 11:02.563
I WASN'T BEING -- I

11:02.563 --> 11:03.297
 WASN'T ABLE 

11:03.297 --> 11:04.331
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE OF THINGS 

11:04.331 --> 11:05.566
THAT MATTERED TO

11:05.566 --> 11:06.200
 ME.

11:06.200 --> 11:07.801
AND THROUGH THE IRC, I HAVE THE

11:08.068 --> 11:09.570
OPPORTUNITY TO TRY TO STAND UP 

11:09.570 --> 11:10.838
FOR SOME IMPORTANT VALUES AT

11:10.838 --> 11:11.271
 A 

11:11.271 --> 11:12.406
VERY IMPORTANT TIME.

11:12.406 --> 11:13.540
>> AND BRINGING A

11:13.540 --> 11:14.641
 PORTFOLIO OF 

11:14.641 --> 11:15.976
EXPERTISE THAT LENGTHS ITSELF TO

11:15.976 --> 11:18.712
THE MISSION -- LENGTHS

11:18.712 --> 11:19.646
 ITSELF

11:19.913 --> 11:21.381
LENDS ITSELF TO THE MISSION OF 

11:21.381 --> 11:21.949
THE PROGRAM.

11:21.949 --> 11:23.250
>> I CAN'T STOP

11:23.250 --> 11:24.251
 PLOTTING MY 

11:24.251 --> 11:24.551
EXIT.

11:24.551 --> 11:26.153
BUT I'M LEARNING A LOT IN THIS 

11:26.153 --> 11:26.420
JOB.

11:26.420 --> 11:27.955
I'M ENERGIZED BY 

11:27.955 --> 11:28.322
IT.

11:28.322 --> 11:29.289
IT'S WORTH 

11:29.289 --> 11:29.990
WHILE.

11:29.990 --> 11:31.158
THERE WERE 45 MILLION PEOPLE 

11:31.158 --> 11:32.659
LAST YEAR DISPLACED FROM

11:32.659 --> 11:33.260
 THEIR

11:33.760 --> 11:34.494
HOMES.

11:34.494 --> 11:36.096
27 MILLION INSIDE THEIR OWN 

11:36.096 --> 11:36.763
COUNTRY.

11:36.763 --> 11:37.698
16 MILLION INTO NEIGHBORING 

11:37.698 --> 11:38.065
COUNTRIES.

11:38.065 --> 11:39.266
IN SYRIA, 9 MILLION 

11:39.266 --> 11:40.701
PEOPLE.

11:40.701 --> 11:41.735
6 MILLION

11:41.735 --> 11:42.202
 AFGHANS STILL 

11:42.202 --> 11:43.103
DISPLACED FROM HOMES.

11:43.103 --> 11:44.838
AROUND THE WORLD, THE

11:45.105 --> 11:46.440
CONSEQUENCES OF 

11:46.440 --> 11:47.474
MISGOVERNMENT OR

11:47.474 --> 11:48.308
UNDERGOVERNMENT OR PREJUDICE ARE

11:48.308 --> 11:48.609
RIFE.

11:48.609 --> 11:49.977
AND IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE HUMAN

11:50.344 --> 11:51.678
CONDITION, YOU'VE GOT TO CARE 

11:51.678 --> 11:52.913
ABOUT

11:52.913 --> 11:53.680
 THE MOST VULNERABLE.

11:53.680 --> 11:54.848
AND AT A TIME WHEN

11:54.848 --> 11:55.883
 HUMANITY

11:56.149 --> 11:56.950
DESPERATELY NEEDS TO BE 

11:56.950 --> 11:58.418
INVOLVED, I THINK THIS IS AN 

11:58.418 --> 11:59.753
IMPORTANT CALL THAT I CAN THROW 

11:59.753 --> 12:02.422
MYSELF INTO WITH A REAL SENSE OF

12:02.422 --> 12:04.157
COMMITMENT AND A BELIEF THAT THE

12:04.157 --> 12:04.358
BEST

12:04.358 --> 12:05.926
 VALUES OF OUR SOCIETIES ARE

12:05.926 --> 12:06.827
TO BE USED FOR

12:06.827 --> 12:07.761
 THE COMMON

12:07.761 --> 12:08.295
 GOOD.

12:08.295 --> 12:09.563
>> YOU ARE SAID TO BE VERY

12:09.563 --> 12:09.897
 CLOSE

12:09.897 --> 12:10.797
TO THE CLINTONS.

12:10.797 --> 12:12.099
TODAY IT WAS REPORTED IN THE

12:12.366 --> 12:13.500
DAILY

12:13.500 --> 12:14.535
 TELEGRAPH THAT YOU

12:14.535 --> 12:15.469

PERSUADE HER TO

12:19.940 --> 12:23.343
 GIVE TO THE

12:23.877 --> 12:24.478
BURKE CHARITY.

12:24.478 --> 12:26.380
>> NO, ACTUALLY NO MONEY WENT AT

12:26.380 --> 12:26.647
ALL.

12:26.647 --> 12:27.814
>> THAT'S NOT

12:27.814 --> 12:28.482
 TRUE?

12:28.482 --> 12:29.516
>> THAT'S A 

12:29.516 --> 12:29.883
PIECE.

12:29.883 --> 12:30.918
THE

12:30.918 --> 12:33.687
 PIECE SAYS NO

12:33.687 --> 12:34.688
 U.S.

12:34.688 --> 12:34.821
 MONEY

12:35.088 --> 12:36.290
WENT TO

12:36.290 --> 12:37.057
 SUDAN.

12:37.057 --> 12:38.025
I WENT THERE.

12:38.025 --> 12:40.360
I'VE DONE CHARITABLE WORK THERE.

12:40.360 --> 12:41.361
THE U.S. HAS

12:41.361 --> 12:42.296
 GOT AN

12:42.296 --> 12:43.130
 OUTSTANDING 

12:43.130 --> 12:44.364
PRESENCE THERE

12:44.364 --> 12:45.199
 AND HELPS FOSTER 

12:45.199 --> 12:46.033
THE PEACE AGREEMENT.

12:46.033 --> 12:47.401
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT HILLARY 

12:47.401 --> 12:47.734
CLINTON.

12:47.734 --> 12:49.570
BECAUSE YOUR

12:49.570 --> 12:50.604
 ASSESSMENT

12:50.604 --> 12:51.438
 OF HER 

12:51.438 --> 12:52.639
AS A PRESIDENTIAL

12:52.639 --> 12:53.373
 CONTENDER.

12:53.373 --> 12:54.374
SHE SAYS SHE ADMIRES YOU.

12:54.374 --> 12:55.742
>> I THINK THERE'S NO SECRET

12:55.742 --> 12:56.343
 I 

12:56.343 --> 12:58.812
SAID BEFORE THAT SHE'S BY FAR

12:59.079 --> 13:00.447
EXTRAORDINARILY WELL-QUALIFIED

13:00.714 --> 13:01.415
CANDIDATE BECAUSE EVERYTHING 

13:01.415 --> 13:03.584
SHE'S

13:03.584 --> 13:04.184
 DONE HAS

13:04.184 --> 13:05.018
 EMBODIED STRONG 

13:05.018 --> 13:06.453
PRINCIPLE AND DETERMINATION TO 

13:06.453 --> 13:06.787
LISTEN.

13:06.787 --> 13:08.722
THOSE ARE GOOD

13:08.722 --> 13:09.623
 QUALITIES.

13:09.623 --> 13:11.592
BUT I'M NOT AN AMERICAN 

13:11.592 --> 13:11.959
CITIZEN.

13:11.959 --> 13:13.160
AND THE LAST THING

13:13.160 --> 13:13.660
 THAT 

13:13.660 --> 13:14.962
AMERICANS NEEDLESS THAN TWO 

13:14.962 --> 13:16.063
YEARS AWAY FROM

13:16.063 --> 13:16.997
 A

13:16.997 --> 13:17.531
 PRESIDENTIAL 

13:17.531 --> 13:18.498
ELECTION IS SOMEONE TELLING THEM

13:18.498 --> 13:19.900
WHO THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE.

13:19.900 --> 13:21.034
>> HAVING SPENT SIX MONTHS HERE 

13:21.034 --> 13:22.369
IN EARLIER PERIODS OF YOUR LIFE 

13:22.369 --> 13:24.171
IN THIS COUNTRY, HOW

13:24.171 --> 13:24.304
 DO

13:24.304 --> 13:25.138
 YOU 

13:25.138 --> 13:27.474
ASSESS THE DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE

13:27.474 --> 13:28.976
ROUGH AND TUMBLE WORLD OF

13:29.243 --> 13:30.811
POLITICS IN BRITAIN AS OPPOSED

13:31.078 --> 13:32.012
TO WHAT THE POLITICAL SCENE IS 

13:32.012 --> 13:32.713
IN THE UNITED STATES?

13:32.713 --> 13:33.947
>>

13:33.947 --> 13:34.348
 WELL,

13:34.348 --> 13:35.883
 YOU WOULD LAUGH AT

13:35.883 --> 13:36.383
 HOW 

13:36.383 --> 13:38.785
LITTLE MONEY WE SPEND

13:38.785 --> 13:39.520
 ON OUR

13:39.953 --> 13:40.320
POLITICS.

13:40.320 --> 13:41.421
YOU MIGHT CRY

13:42.222 --> 13:42.589
ACTUALLY.

13:42.589 --> 13:44.458
WHEN I TELL YOU THAT I WAS

13:44.725 --> 13:46.193
ALLOWED TO SPEND IN MY

13:46.193 --> 13:46.994
 DISTRICT,

13:46.994 --> 13:48.161
MY CONSTITUENCY,

13:48.161 --> 13:49.463
 I WAS

13:49.463 --> 13:49.930
 ALLOWED

13:50.197 --> 13:51.365
TO SPEND 12,000

13:51.365 --> 13:52.232
 POUNDS, THAT'S 

13:52.232 --> 13:53.600
$20,000, LESS THAN

13:53.600 --> 13:54.001
 $20,000 IN 

13:54.001 --> 13:55.369
THE THREE -- IN THE

13:55.369 --> 13:56.069
 YEAR OF

13:56.069 --> 13:56.870
 MY 

13:56.870 --> 13:58.272
ELECTION CAMPAIGN, YOU

13:58.272 --> 13:59.106
 WOULD SAY

13:59.106 --> 14:00.107
THAT THIS IS A

14:00.107 --> 14:00.941
 NONSENSE.

14:00.941 --> 14:01.975
NOW, THERE ARE

14:01.975 --> 14:03.076
 NATIONAL

14:03.076 --> 14:05.212
 SPENDING

14:05.212 --> 14:05.846
CAPS AS

14:05.846 --> 14:06.480
 WELL.

14:06.480 --> 14:08.482
BUT 20 MILLION

14:08.482 --> 14:09.616
 POUNDS,

14:09.883 --> 14:11.418
$30 MILLION.

14:11.418 --> 14:12.619
SO YOU WOULD

14:12.619 --> 14:13.320
 ABSOLUTELY THINK

14:13.587 --> 14:14.655
THAT WE HAVEN'T EVEN

14:14.655 --> 14:15.589
 GOT

14:16.857 --> 14:17.191
STARTED.

14:17.191 --> 14:18.325
>> HOW IS PRESIDENT OBAMA 

14:18.325 --> 14:19.526
PERCEIVED IN BRITAIN.

14:19.526 --> 14:21.061
>> I THINK VERY 

14:21.061 --> 14:21.762
POSITIVELY.

14:21.762 --> 14:23.730
I THINK THAT HE

14:23.730 --> 14:24.398
 WAS SEEN

14:24.398 --> 14:24.831
 AS 

14:24.831 --> 14:26.400
SOMEONE WHO REPRESENTED THE

14:26.667 --> 14:27.768
RENEWAL OF AMERICA

14:27.768 --> 14:28.569
 REALLY AS 

14:28.569 --> 14:30.137
AMERICA'S CAPACITY FOR RENEWAL, 

14:30.137 --> 14:31.405
GIVEN THE HISTORY OF RACE IN 

14:31.405 --> 14:32.573
THIS

14:32.573 --> 14:33.140
 COUNTRY.

14:33.140 --> 14:34.408
GIVEN ALL THAT YOU'VE BEEN

14:35.042 --> 14:35.375
THROUGH.

14:35.375 --> 14:36.243
THE FACT THAT AN 

14:36.243 --> 14:37.578
AFRICAN-AMERICAN SHOULD COME TO 

14:37.578 --> 14:39.046
LEAD THE COUNTRY WAS

14:39.046 --> 14:39.646
 SEEN AS

14:39.646 --> 14:40.747
 AN

14:41.014 --> 14:41.949
EXTRAORDINARY TESTAMENT TO THE 

14:41.949 --> 14:43.083
STRENGTH OF THIS COUNTRY.

14:43.083 --> 14:44.117
AND

14:44.117 --> 14:45.052
 I THINK THAT HE BROUGHT

14:45.052 --> 14:45.485
 A 

14:45.485 --> 14:46.720
SENSE OF PURPOSE AND CLARITY 

14:46.720 --> 14:48.222
THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE AROUND THE 

14:48.222 --> 14:49.289
WORLD RECOGNIZED.

14:49.289 --> 14:50.757
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT THE MONARCHY

14:50.757 --> 14:51.758
IN BRITAIN

14:51.758 --> 14:52.359
 BRIEFLY.

14:52.359 --> 14:53.694
NOT THAT LONG AGO THE MONARCHY 

14:53.694 --> 14:54.828
SEEMED TO BE PRETTY

14:54.828 --> 14:55.662
 MUCH ON THE 

14:55.662 --> 14:56.029
SKIDS.

14:56.029 --> 14:56.964
IT

14:56.964 --> 14:57.931
 SEEMS TO HAVE A RE

14:57.931 --> 14:58.966
 SURE GENT.

14:58.966 --> 15:00.300
HOW WOULD -- 

15:00.300 --> 15:00.701
RESURGENCE.

15:00.701 --> 15:01.802
HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS

15:01.802 --> 15:02.836
 THE 

15:02.836 --> 15:03.203
MONARCHY?

15:03.203 --> 15:04.671
>> I WOULD SAY ARE YOU SURPRISED

15:04.671 --> 15:05.572
BY THE QUESTIONS.

15:05.572 --> 15:06.507
I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN 

15:06.507 --> 15:08.175
ASKED ABOUT THE MONARCHY, SO

15:08.175 --> 15:08.909
 WE

15:09.176 --> 15:10.277
REALLY

15:10.277 --> 15:14.114
 ARE IN NEUTER

15:14.114 --> 15:15.849
 -- NEW 

15:15.849 --> 15:16.517
TERRAIN ABOUT THAT.

15:16.517 --> 15:18.051
WE'RE A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY.

15:18.051 --> 15:18.919
WE HAVE

15:18.919 --> 15:20.153
 A CONSTITUTIONAL

15:21.021 --> 15:21.488
MONARCHY.

15:21.488 --> 15:23.090
SO THE QUEEN PLAYS NO ROLE IN 

15:23.090 --> 15:23.457
POLITICS.

15:23.457 --> 15:24.825
SHE'S AN EXTRAORDINARY

15:24.825 --> 15:25.559
 LADY

15:25.559 --> 15:25.993
 WHO 

15:25.993 --> 15:27.661
IS VERY WIDELY ADMIRED.

15:27.661 --> 15:28.495
SHE'S BEEN THROUGH --

15:28.495 --> 15:29.596
>> HAVE YOU SPENT TIME WITH HER?

15:29.596 --> 15:31.265
>> I 

15:31.265 --> 15:31.565
HAVE.

15:31.565 --> 15:32.866
ONE OF THE THINGS YOU

15:32.866 --> 15:33.467
 DO

15:33.467 --> 15:34.468
 IF YOUR

15:34.468 --> 15:36.003
THE FOREIGN SECRETARY EVERY TIME

15:36.003 --> 15:37.171
THE QUEEN QOEZ ABOARD,

15:37.171 --> 15:37.905
 YOU HAVE 

15:37.905 --> 15:39.673
-- GOES ABOARD, YOU HAVE TO GO

15:39.940 --> 15:40.874
ABOARD WITH HER.

15:40.874 --> 15:42.142
I HAD THE

15:42.142 --> 15:42.843
 PRIVILEGE AND 

15:42.843 --> 15:44.077
CHALLENGE OF HAVING TO BRIE

15:44.077 --> 15:44.511
F HER

15:44.511 --> 15:45.812
AND FINDING OUT SHE WAS

15:46.079 --> 15:47.447
EXTREMELY WELL BRIEFED AND KNEW 

15:47.447 --> 15:48.982
ALL OF THE -- IF I TALKED TO HER

15:48.982 --> 15:50.484
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT OF ONE 

15:50.484 --> 15:51.652
COUNTRY, SHE WOULD HAVE KNOWN 

15:51.652 --> 15:53.253
THE PREDECESSOR AND THE

15:53.520 --> 15:54.988
PREDECESSOR AND THE PREDECESSOR

15:55.255 --> 15:57.224
AND THE

15:57.224 --> 15:58.158
 PRED CESS

15:58.158 --> 15:58.692
 SORE.

15:58.692 --> 15:59.860
SHE'S -- 

15:59.860 --> 16:00.527
PREDECESSOR.

16:00.527 --> 16:01.728
SHE'S BEEN A QUEEN FOR A

16:01.728 --> 16:02.596
 LONG 

16:02.596 --> 16:02.896
TIME.

16:02.896 --> 16:05.332
I THINK SHE'S BROUGHT

16:05.599 --> 16:07.835
EXTRAORDINARY

16:07.835 --> 16:09.536
EXTRAORDINARY REVERENCE FOR HER 

16:09.536 --> 16:09.903
POSITION.

16:09.903 --> 16:11.038
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WIDELY 

16:11.038 --> 16:12.472
RECOGNIZED AND NOW SUCCESSIVE

16:12.739 --> 16:14.041
FLEE GENERATIONS AFTER HER -- 

16:14.041 --> 16:15.309
THREE GENERATIONS AFTER

16:15.309 --> 16:15.843
 HER.

16:15.843 --> 16:18.178
I THINK THE AMERICANS WILL BE

16:18.445 --> 16:20.848
ENJOYING THE BRITISH

16:20.848 --> 16:23.016
 MONARCHY

16:23.283 --> 16:24.251
FOR YEARS TO COME.

16:24.251 --> 16:24.484
.

16:24.484 --> 16:25.352
>> THANK YOU FOR COMING.

16:25.352 --> 16:25.786
>> THANK YOU.

16:25.786 --> 16:29.786
>> AND CHICAG
