(quick and dirty transcript)

There is a lot of anger and a lot of distrust a profound distrust of this kind of neo-liberal agenda, that you have this meetings behind closed doors with the leaders...

There is no public debate about the direction the sort of "Post National America" is going to look like..and whether there is going to be a "Post National America".

And people are upset that this isn't part of the conversation, that is a real legitimate fear that we don't talk about this issues...
