This video is well worth watching - don't give up on it too early, the video will really pick up and make you realize how flat the world truly is. Enjoy

[Golfmackan]

This is the kind of person who should rule the United States of America. Not an idiot from Texas.

[JPstudd]

only to ignorant rednecks like you

[Nicholas Radcliff]

Forget what I just said haha it's actually pretty interesting :D

[Nicholas Radcliff]

Eff the book, I read the first ppage and already I got tired of it. I'd rather listen to a speech on it rather than reading about his golf trip.

[dismaltrader]

Not bad until he went off on the tree hugging binge. Lost credibility instantly.

[Nikolo8D]

[garota954]

[ali poursamar]

if you have any doubt about america is in downward spiral turn. here are two hints to convince you that it's a fact: (1) go through below comments made by american students who are apparently been made to listen to this awesome, jaw-dropping speech as part of their lecture course. watch how they react to this crystal clear warning made by Mr. Friedman about where their country is heading to. (2) Note that second rank for viewer country of origin belongs to chian and india.

[Sophie Chen]

This is the one of the most awful speakers I have ever heard. It makes the audience feel like he's reading a prerehearsed lecture off a teleprompter. No humor, complete lack of audience interaction or even acknowledgement, and extremely over-the-top verbose. It's a shame because the content of his speech is phenomenal.
