:48:02
Then I had to put my face
next to the thing and go...
:48:05
Yeah, let's just pause it here.
:48:07
- Okay. Hit stop.
- Is there a pause?
:48:09
- Stop button.
- There's no pause.
:48:11
I don't know what I could've said
after that clip.
:48:15
I mean...really...
:48:18
"Where did they get this guy from?"
might've been my first comment.
:48:22
So did you ever figure out
where they got the guy from?
:48:25
I understood that he was in the External
Relations Department for the WTO.
:48:31
- That's what they thought, too.
- That's what they thought, as well.
:48:35
- But...
- But...
:48:36
- ...as it happens, he wasn't.
- Yeah.
:48:39
- In fact-
- Just take one more close look.
:48:43
Wait, can we-is this reverse?
:48:49
No!
:48:53
I wasn't gonna mention the likeness.
:48:57
You were being very polite,
weren't you? Yeah.
:49:00
- Yeah.
- You did it as a spoof?
:49:02
- Yeah.
- Yeah. Basically...
:49:06
That's good. We weren't sure
how you would react.
:49:08
We were really hoping you wouldn't be
too offended. We were like, "Oh, no!"
:49:12
Hell, no. That's great.
That's really...
:49:14
I was wondering,
'cause I hadn't seen that guy before,
:49:17
and I did know some of the WTO
External Relations people,
:49:20
and I was thinking, "My God,
they really put up a right one this time."
:49:24
We wanted to talk
to Barry Coates as well
:49:27
because he has a lot of statistics
and information about globalization
:49:32
that we thought would be useful
for the lecture in Australia.
:49:35
All of the WTO agreements bar one
:49:37
are all about restricting
what governments can do.
:49:41
And so, essentially, the whole
trading system is built on the premise
:49:45
that the companies trading internationally,
investing internationally,
:49:50
are going to be preyed upon
by nasty governments.
:49:55
And, really, what we have
:49:57
is an international system
that is entirely the reverse.
