| 00:01:30 |
|
WELL, THEY WERE VERY GENERAL, BUT WE MOSTLY TALK ABOUT SUPERDELEGATES AND WHAT THE OPINION ON THEM... |
| 00:01:42 |
|
NOW WHAT IS YOUR OPINION, SHOULD THE MICHIGAN DELEGATION BE SEATED AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION? |
| 00:01:50 |
|
I THINK THAT SUPERDELEGATES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL. BECAUSE I FEEL THAT ONE PERSON SHOULD EQUAL ONE... |
| 00:01:58 |
|
EVEN IN THE PRIMARY? EVEN IF SOMEWHAT SAY WELL, IT'S UP TO EACH PARTY TO DECIDE HOW TO CHOOSE THEIR... |
| 00:02:13 |
|
WE TALKED TO THE DEMOCRATS ON THE COMMITTEE, AND THEY SAID THAT -- THAT WE ELECTED THEM. BUT IT DOESN'T... |
| 00:02:37 |
|

| 00:04:14 |
|
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THE MEDIA COVERAGE OF THE PRIMARY AS IT HAS ROLLED FOURTH IN 2008? |

| 00:04:43 |
|
WHERE DO YOU GO TO THE PLATE TO GET YOUR NEW DAY GROOT TOLD MEDIA NEWSPAPERS, MAGAZINES, OR THE INTERNET... |

|
VERY GOOD. THANK YOU AND WELCOME TO CLOSE UP AND WE HOPE WE HEAR MORE AS THE DAY GOES ON. OUR GUEST... |
| 00:05:57 |
|
I'M FROM WASHINGTON, D.C. AND AFTER GRADUATING COLLEGE I MOVED IN WITH MY PARENTS. AND SO I WAS DESPERATE... |
| 00:06:32 |
|
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VIEW AMERICA THROUGH THE PERCEPTION OF THE AVERAGE PERSON AS OPPOSED TO THE... |
| 00:06:47 |
|
WELL I THINK THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT CONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE ROLE OF THE U.S. THAT TO GET FROM ORDINARY... |
| 00:07:15 |
|
WHAT SURPRISED YOU MOST THAT HE FOUND YOU DIDN'T EXPECT TO FIND AS YOU WERE LISTENING TO THESE NARRATIVES?... |
| 00:07:23 |
|
I DID A LOT OF PEOPLE SUGGESTED THAT AMERICA WAS THE BIGGEST IMPACT IN MANY WAYS IN THEIR LIVES OF... |
| 00:07:56 |
|
HOW DID AMERICA LOOK DIFFERENT TO YOU, AN AMERICAN, WHEN VIEWED FROM A GREAT DISTANCE FROM THE OTHER... |
| 00:08:08 |
|
WELL, I THINK THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS A SURPRISINGLY NUANCED VIEW OF AMERICA. IT HAS HISTORICALLY... |
| 00:08:45 |
|
LET ME GET SPECIFIC ON ONE TOPIC. IMMIGRATION REFORM, A HUGE DEBATE RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA. HOW DOES... |
| 00:09:01 |
|
YOU KNOW, THIS GUY, SMART WRITER FROM SINGAPORE SAID AMERICANS, THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS HAVE... |
| 00:09:50 |
|
LET'S TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT OUR FIRST VIDEO CLIP CONSIDERING THE IMPACT ON THE EVERYDAY... |
| 00:10:02 |
|
THIS IS THE WESTERN BORDER BUT IN MEXICO AND THE UNITED STATES. SANTA'S RICO HAS BEEN WATCHING THE... |
| 00:11:06 |
|
ONCE AGAIN WE TALK ABOUT THE GENERATIONAL VIEW, YOUNG PEOPLE FIND IT SILLY, OTHERS FIND IT OFFENSIVE,... |
| 00:11:25 |
|
ONE FORMS PARTNERSHIPS SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT HIP-HOP YOU THINK ABOUT EAST AFRICA, WHEN YOU THINK... |
| 00:12:01 |
|
WE OFTEN HEAR THE PHRASE PEOPLE OF OTHER LANDS AND CULTURES HERE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH... |
| 00:12:19 |
|
I THINK SO BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IF AMERICANS ELECT THEIR GOVERNMENT, THEN THERE ARE ONLY... |
| 00:12:56 |
|
DO YOU FIND PEOPLE EAGER TO THE ENGAGE YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE AMERICAN? |
| 00:13:00 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. I SHOWED UP IN TURKEY WITH A ROCK STAR WHO RUNS A HAND COCA-COLA FESTIVAL AND HE SAID... |
| 00:13:25 |
|
LET'S LISTEN TO SOME OF THE STUDENTS. HELLO AND WELCOME TO CLOSE UP AT THE NEWSEUM. |
| 00:13:29 |
|
MY NAME IS EMILY AND I COME FROM WISCONSIN. MY FIRST QUESTION IS WHY DOES OUR MEDIA FOCUS SO MUCH... |
| 00:13:52 |
|
I THINK IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. IT HAS A LOT TO DO IT HOW YOU VIEW THE MEDIA'S ROLE. I MEAN, ONE IS... |
| 00:14:38 |
|
TELL ME, UNDERLINING THAT QUESTION, WHAT IS YOUR SENSE OF THE PROPER ROLE FOR MEDIA AND THE PRESS... |
| 00:14:48 |
|
I THINK THE MEDIA AND PRESS SHOULD BE FOCUSING ON WHAT THE PEOPLE DO THAT IS GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITIES... |
| 00:15:04 |
|
VERY DIFFICULT TO DO THAT, BUT ALSO BRING THIS INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHALLENGES AHEAD SO THAT WE CAN... |
| 00:15:19 |
|
AND SHOW THERE ARE PROBLEMS AMERICANS ARE WILL SALIENT AND OVERCOMING AND WOULD BE A WAY OF DOING... |
| 00:15:26 |
|
THANK YOU. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT POP CULTURE AND U.S. POP CULTURE SEEMS PREVALENT AROUND THE WORLD... |
| 00:16:01 |
|
I AM A PART OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES -- THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIVING IN THE STATES.... |
| 00:17:23 |
|
T-NOTE IT'S INTERESTING, YOUTH CULTURE. THE ROLE IT PLAYS IN OUR COUNTRY, THE WAY IT INSPIRES CULTURAL... |
| 00:17:50 |
|
I THINK HIP-HOP HAS BEEN A FORCE FOR TREMENDOUS GOOD IN COUNTRIES WHICH ARE STRUGGLING AGAINST DICTATORIAL... |
| 00:18:58 |
|
LET'S DO ONE OF THE POLLS. HOW MANY OF YOU THINK ABOUT YOUR CONTEMPORARIES, TEENAGERS IN THE ARAB... |
| 00:19:39 |
|
ANOTHER PLUG, THIS CROWD IS SO DIVERSE AND OFTEN PEOPLE ABROAD WILL ASK ME LIKE YOUR BROWN, ARE YOU... |
| 00:20:11 |
|
LET'S GO TO A STUDENT COMMENT OR QUESTION. |
| 00:20:15 |
|
I'M FROM SEATTLE WASHINGTON. I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS. AND MY FIRST ONE IS HOW DO YOU THINK PEOPLE OUR... |
| 00:20:29 |
|
THERE IS AN EXAMPLE I GET FROM LEBANON. JULY, 2006 ISRAEL BEGAN BOMBING THE SOUTHERN SUBURB OF LEBANON... |
| 00:21:50 |
|
AND YOU SAY YOU HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION? |
| 00:21:53 |
|
HOW DO YOU THINK THE ELECTION OF THE NEW PRESIDENT IN NOVEMBER WILL CHANGE PEOPLE'S VIEWS OF AMERICA... |
| 00:22:04 |
|
I THINK THE BEST PART ABOUT THE ELECTORAL PROCESS ISN'T ULTIMATELY WHO WE ELECT BUT THERE'S A FIERCE... |
| 00:22:50 |
|
NOW AMAR, A GRADUATE OF HARVARD IN 06 AND I CAN SAY I WAS AT HIS GRADUATION BECAUSE I HAVE A DAUGHTER... |
| 00:23:42 |
|
I THINK, YOU KNOW, ONE OF OUR GREATEST STRENGTHS IS THE FACT OUR HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM IS SO STRONG... |
| 00:24:39 |
|
LET'S GO TO ANOTHER STUDENT. |
| 00:24:40 |
|
I WAS WONDERING WHILE VISITING ANOTHER COUNTRY IF YOU EVER FELT BODWELL, OR TREATED WITH DISRESPECT?... |
| 00:24:52 |
|
I WILL GIVE AN EXAMPLE FROM SOUTHERN INDIA, WHICH MY FOLKS ARE FROM NORTHERN INDIA, THEY MIGRATED... |
| 00:26:20 |
|
A LITTLE PROBLEM. THEY ACCUSED ME OF BEING A CIA AGENT, WHICH IS ONE OF THESE PROBLEMS IF AMERICA... |
| 00:26:52 |
|
WHAT IF YOU LIKE BEING IN A ZIMBABWE JAIL? |
| 00:26:55 |
|
HERE'S THE THING AGAIN, A LOT OF KIDS YOUR AGE FRIGHTENINGLY ENOUGH, 16 TO 22 FOR PETTY REASONS, THEY... |
| 00:27:42 |
|
HOW DID YOU CONVINCE THEM THAT YOU WERE OF CIA? |
| 00:27:46 |
|
I WAS PUB WITH SEVEN AND AT HANDLING THEIR QUESTION THERE PROBABLY LIKE THIS GUY CANNOT BE A SPY.... |
| 00:28:07 |
|
LET'S GO TO ANOTHER STUDENT. WELCOME TO CLOSE UP AT THE NEWSEUM. |
| 00:28:11 |
|
MY NAME IS LAYS FROM BROWNING, MONTANA AND I'M WONDERING WHY PEOPLE CALL IT ANTI-AMERICANISM IF THEY... |
| 00:28:29 |
|
IT'S RIGHT ON. ANTI-AMERICANISM IS A BLUNT TOOL TO DESCRIBE THIS PHENOMENON BECAUSE NO ONE IS ALL... |
| 00:29:39 |
|
LET ME ASK YOU, MONTANA IS A LONG WAY AWAY FROM WASHINGTON, D.C.. WHAT DOES AMERICA LOOK LIKE TO ... |
| 00:30:11 |
|
WELL, I DON'T KNOW. |
| 00:30:13 |
|
HE CAME HERE TO WASHINGTON THIS WEEK FOR INSTANCE. WHAT SURPRISED YOU THAT HE FOUND THAT WAS SO FAMILIAR... |
| 00:32:20 |
|
I THINK THE REAL POINT IS HOW AMERICA PLAYS THAT ROLE. THERE IS UNIVERSALLY A WISH I FOUND THAT AMERICAN... |
| 00:32:49 |
|
IT MAKES SENSE. IN ANY CASE MOST PEOPLE, THEIR VERSION OF WHAT AMERICA IS ITS DEPENDENCE ON THEIR... |
| 00:34:34 |
|
HOW DELONG THE THINK AT |
| 00:34:36 |
|
UNTIL CRIST RETURNS. |
| 00:34:41 |
|
IT IS INTERESTING, A U.S. POLICY WILL ISOLATE A NATION THAT IS DOING LESS THAN WHAT WE WOULD HOPE.... |
| 00:35:04 |
|
I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE BIG FOREIGN POLICY DEBATES RIGHT NOW, IS WHETHER TO ENGAGE MORE, RELY MORE... |
| 00:35:33 |
|
WHEN YOU MAKE OF WHAT IS GOING ON IN MYANMAR WHERE WE HAVE THE CYCLONE COME THROUGH AND THE HUMANITARIAN... |
| 00:35:56 |
|
THE SAME THING IN ZIMBABWE. IT IS NOT NEARLY THE SAME SCALE BUT CATASTROPHIC DEATH, LAWS AND A REGIME... |
| 00:36:50 |
|
LET'S GO TO ANOTHER STUDENT, WELCOME TO CLOSE THE THE THE NASSIM. |
| 00:36:54 |
|
I AM FROM CONNECTICUT, NEWHAVEN CONNECTICUT. DO YOU THINK THE U.S. MEDIA INFLUENCES INTERNATIONAL... |
| 00:37:06 |
|
YES, BUT I'M TRYING TO THINK OF HOW EXACTLY. IT DOES INFLUENCE IT BUT ONE THING THAT IS STRIKING IS... |
| 00:38:03 |
|
I WANT TO STAY THERE BUT I WANT TO FRAME IT IN ANOTHER WAY FOR YOU. WHAT WE HAVE ALSO HEARD FROM THE... |
| 00:38:41 |
|
MAYBE, BUT I THINK ABU GHRAIB WAS SO DAMAGING THAT MIGHT HAVE OVERSHADOWED THE BENEFITS. WATERGATE... |
| 00:39:22 |
|
ISD TUESDAY IT THE MIC BECAUSE I WANT TO RESCUE WHERE YOU GET YOUR INFORMATION, OLD MEDIA OR NEW,... |
| 00:39:37 |
|
USUALLY MSN BROADCAST THE TOP STORIES SO I WILL SEE THE MOST IMPORTANT STORIES UP THERE AND I WILL... |
| 00:39:45 |
|
THANKS. WELCOME TO WASHINGTON. |
| 00:39:51 |
|
I WONDERING HOW MANY FEED BLOGS? ARE THEY FRIENDS BLOGS OR NEWSPAPER BLOGS? |
| 00:39:56 |
|
COMMINUTE EGO TO THE BLOG THAT IS SPONSORED BY NEWS ORGANIZATION, TELEVISION, NEWSPAPER AND HOW MANY... |
| 00:40:20 |
|
THIS IS LIKE A MARKET RESEARCH FOR ME. |
| 00:40:24 |
|
WHAT YOU SAY THAT, GIVE US A SENSE ARE TOO, HAVING TAKEN THE CAMERA ALL OVER THE WORLD, NOW YOU ARE... |
| 00:40:32 |
|
PEOPLE SAY THE MEDIA IS DEAD IN SOME WAYS OR THE NEWSPAPER IS DYING. THAT MAY TO BE TRUE BUT WHAT IS... |
| 00:40:59 |
|
WE ARE GOING TO GET INTO THAT AL LITTLE BIT MORE BECAUSE I WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME ON THAT PREFERS... |
| 00:41:31 |
|
LOOK IN ALL OF THOSE FLAGS OUTSIDE OF PEOPLE'S HOUSES. |
| 00:41:36 |
|
THEY ARE ON THEIR CARS, PAINTED OUTSIDE OF BUILDINGS, ON MENUS. BY YOU DON'T NOTICE AMERICA OBVIOUSLY.... |
| 00:41:49 |
|
THE CULTURE OF THE FLAG AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT, THEY ARE SO PROUD OF THEIR CULTURE AND I THINK THAT... |
| 00:42:02 |
|
HERE IS A SON OF THE FLAG IS BEING RAISED AS TO THE PEOPLE BUT IN AMERICA, IT IS ON CARS AND HOUSES.... |
| 00:42:10 |
|
IF YOU HAVE A FLAG ON YOUR HOUSE HERE IT IS RACIST. |
| 00:42:16 |
|
IT IS, YOU THINK WOW, I WISH MORE PEOPLE WOULD BE PROUD OF BEING BRITISH. BUT THE NEW THING, ON THE... |
| 00:42:42 |
|
DOES THIS COME BACK TO AN IDENTITY? MOST OF THE KIDS IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD THINK OF THEMSELVES AS ... |
| 00:43:06 |
|
YEAH, I THINK THAT IS THE STRENGTH IN THE UNITED STATES AND WHEN THEY ARE SAYING IT IS A DOUBLE-EDGED... |
| 00:44:03 |
|
IS THE OBAMA ABSENCE OF A FLAGPIN ON THE LAPEL PIN ISSUE? IS A SAY SOMETHING ABOUT HIS CREDENTIALS... |
| 00:44:14 |
|
YOU AGREE WITH THAT? |
| 00:44:15 |
|
AND TWO THINGS THAT MATTERS? |
| 00:44:17 |
|
THEY DON'T THINK IT MATTERS. HUMMIN YOU FLY THE FLAG ON THE HOLIDAYS AT HOME? AND THINK OF THE FLAG... |
| 00:44:41 |
|
THIS KIND OF LIKE BEING A PSYCHIATRIST. HE JUST LISTEN AND A GREAT THING ABOUT THE CAMERA IS WHEN... |
| 00:45:19 |
|
LET'S GO TO ANOTHER STUDENT, WELCOME TO CLOSE-UP OF THE NEWSEUM. |
| 00:45:24 |
|
IN MY NAME IS CASE AND I AM FROM SEATTLE WASHINGTON. SINS WHO HAVE TRAVELED THE WORLD, WHAT IS NEXT?... |
| 00:45:30 |
|
I'M TRAVELING ON PLANNING AROUND THE U.S. BECAUSE OF HOW LITTLE I FEEL I CAN PROBABLY TALK ABOUT THE... |
| 00:46:10 |
|
THAT IS SO RETRO. |
| 00:46:11 |
|
I'M VERY EXCITED. I HAVE ALREADY LANDED UP. |
| 00:46:14 |
|
WHAT DOES AMERICA LOOK LIKE YOU FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST? ONCE AGAIN, THAT AS A COMMUNITY SEEN AS... |
| 00:46:36 |
|
USUALLY THE NEWS MOSTLY FOCUSES ON THE BAD THINGS. LATELY IT IS POLITICAL, THE CANDIDATES RIGHT NOW... |
| 00:46:59 |
|
VERY GOOD, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. LET ME ASK ANOTHER STUDENT PAUL PECO, OF YOU HAVE TRAVELED OUTSIDE... |
| 00:47:40 |
|
MY NAME IS EMILY AND I AM FROM SEATTLE WASHINGTON AS WELL. THIS QUESTION IS GOING TO BACK TO WHAT... |
| 00:48:06 |
|
WELL, I THINK THAT IS ALWAYS A RISK WITH NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM THAT PEOPLE USE IT TO MANIPULATE... |
| 00:48:43 |
|
LET ME ASK YOU, YOU RAISE THE QUESTION. IS OUR SENSE, OUR NOTION OF PATRIOTISM READY FOR A 21ST CENTURY... |
| 00:49:01 |
|
YES, I THINK SO. I THINK THAT SOME OF THE PATRIOTISM NOW, IS KIND OF GOING BACK TO THE WHOLE, GO FIGHT... |
| 00:49:16 |
|
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE COMPONENTS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE INCLUDED IN A NOTION OF BEING PATRIOTIC?... |
| 00:49:26 |
|
I WOULD LIKE TO GO KIND OF BEYOND OUR COUNTRY AND KIND OF BRANCHING OUT INTO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY... |
| 00:49:46 |
|
[INAUDIBLE] |
| 00:49:51 |
|
ON THOSE THINGS THAT NOT EVERYTHING. |
| 00:49:53 |
|
SO YOU ARE GOING BACK TO AN AMERICAN IDEAL, THAT WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS TO PROFESS OUR IDEALS... |
| 00:50:28 |
|
I AM MELANIE FROM RUNNING MONTANA AND I WAS WONDERING IF THESE WERE THE KIND OF RESULTS YOU WOULD... |
| 00:50:42 |
|
WHEN I LEFT, I DID A LOT OF ASKING PEOPLE POLL QUESTIONS, LIKE WHAT YOU THINK OF GUANTANAMO? IT WAS... |
| 00:51:37 |
|
BASED ON WHAT YOU'VE HEARD FROM OUR FORUM TODAY, WHAT HAS SURPRISED YOU THE MOST FROM WHAT HE SAID... |
| 00:51:47 |
|
WELL, I WOULD SAY, I WAS SURPRISED THE MOST BY ALL THE NEGATIVITY. I DID NOT EXPECT THAT MUCH OF IT.... |
| 00:52:08 |
|
THANKS FOR THAT AND THAT IS BELLA. |
| 00:52:10 |
|
THE POLL NUMBERS SHOW THAT TWO, AMERICANS ARE SURPRISED BY HOW THEY ARE PERCEIVED. |
| 00:52:15 |
|
LET'S GO TO OUR NEXT CLWP. MANY IN THE MIDDLE EAST ARE AMONG THOSE TO TAKE A HARSH VIEW OF THE UNITED... |
| 00:52:34 |
|
THEY GIVE ME THIS FEELING SOMETIMES. THEY TRY TO TREAT ME IN A WAY, TO SHOW ME HE WERE NOTHING, YOU... |
| 00:53:34 |
|
IN IN THAT SHOW WHAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE FOR YOU TRAVELING THROUGH THE SO-CALLED HOT SPOTS, OR THE... |
| 00:53:54 |
|
I THINK IT IS LARGELY A DEGREE OF THE MOTION. THE THINGS THEY SAY MIGHT BE THE SAME BUT THE EMOTIONAL... |
| 00:54:45 |
|
LET'S GO TO ANOTHER STUDENT. |
| 00:54:47 |
|
MY NAME IS EMILY WILLIAMSON AND I'M FROM GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN. I HAVE A TWO-PART QUESTION FOR YOU.... |

WHAT COUNTRY SPECIFICALLY DEFINED AS AN? THE PAKISTAN, INDIA, TURKEY, LEBANON. A BUNCH OF COUNTRIES.... |
| 00:55:46 |
|
WHERE YOU FIND THAT POSITIVE VIEW OF AMERICA? |
| 00:55:48 |
|
YOU FIND IT A LOT OF PEOPLE STRUGGLING TO ACHIEVE INDEPENDENCE, IN KOSOVO WHICH RECENTLY DECLARED... |
| 00:56:18 |
|
THAT IS MORE OF THE IDEALISM. |
| 00:56:21 |
|
THE RHETORIC THAT THE U.S. IS THE ONE COUNTRY THAT CAN |
| 00:56:25 |
|
VERY GOOD. WE ARE GOING TO TRY AND GET ONE MORE QUESTION IN, SO GO AHEAD. |
| 00:56:31 |
