#Transcript:
Rights is progressively being undone. The first amendment, for example,
3:02
guarantees freedom of speech, freedom of the press, the right to assemble and
3:09
petition the government to change its policies, and separation of church and
3:14
state. And all of these are under attack in the United States. uh freedom of
3:20
speech is subject to censorship often now uh on behalf of a foreign
3:26
country, Israel, if it involves the Palestinian issue. U and uh freedom of
3:32
the press. Well, the president throws the press out of the White House and nobody does anything about it and the
3:39
press is actually prosecuted uh for doing investigative journalism.
3:45
the right to assemble and petition for a change in policy. Well, tell that to the students at Columbia University or
3:52
Harvard University. And separation of church and state. Uh we have a we have a
3:59
judiciary that is almost entirely Catholic uh and which has enforced the
4:05
Catholic ban on uh birth control and abortions. So, this is not the secular
4:11
state that we grew up in. Um and we have a a a situation in which uh if you
4:19
question what is happening um let's say you you Nema you might be
4:25
you might someday want to come to the United States uh but if you have been critical of Donald Trump
4:33
or if said something ideological that the American state objects to you won't
4:39
get a visa. Uh so we have a kind of le majeste le majest in Portuguese I guess
4:48
um uh idea that if you criticize the king uh you are violating the law and
4:55
should be subjected to um uh punishment. So there are a lot of things going on.
5:01
Um, but I would say sum it all up by saying that the United States for its
5:07
entire history prided itself on being an idea rather than a country defined by
5:14
ethnicity, religion, language and so forth. I think it's very significant in this in this in this uh context that
5:23
suddenly we've decided we need an official language English. We never had an official language. Of course,
5:30
Americans speak English, but nobody told them that there was a law. It was not
5:35
illegal to, uh, speak something else. Um, and so, um, the final point here is
5:42
again to the 4th of July. The 4th of July is
5:48
our every country needs a myth of its origin, a set of ideas that it it
5:55
professes. uh you know so in the United States this was the Declaration of Independence and
6:02
the Constitution and it was the idea that American
6:08
America was not born perfect. It had terrible sins like slavery
6:15
uh for example. It did not recognize the rights of women. But there was a sense
6:21
that over time Americans would improve ourselves. we would aspire to be better.
6:28
I think that's gone. And we don't even agree about what our history is anymore.
6:34
Was America built by individuals laboring and adventuring on their own or
6:42
was it built by slave labor? What was the answer? What's the answer? We don't agree anymore. So we've lost the unifi
6:51
unifying um uh element of our society and we're deeply deeply polarized. Uh
6:59
right and left hardly talk to each other and families are split much as a civil
7:04
war splits families. So there's a lot to there was a lot to reflect on on July
7:10
4th and much of it not good. Yeah. You you mentioned some points
7:15
about my first question that I'm going to ask you and that how has the shift
7:20
towards xenophobia and exclusion undermined the fun the foundational identity of the United States as an open
7:28
idealbased societ nation. Well, I think we've certainly lost much
7:34
of our appeal internationally. You know, we used to be a place that people not only wanted to visit but wanted to live
7:41
in. I think most people now are afraid to come to the United States because of
7:47
what they may encounter at the border or once they're here. And so, uh, we're,
7:54
um, we're a place that, um, isn't very nice to live in anymore and
8:02
that fewer and fewer people want to come to. And the implications of this run uh
8:08
very broadly um because a great deal of our influence internationally
8:14
came from the fact that people admired our society. They thought it was open.
8:20
They thought it was on a course of self-improvement. And now there's no effort to be open.
8:26
There's no effort at self-improvement. uh and uh I mentioned a lot of the
8:31
factors uh that go into this in terms of our relations with foreigners. Uh but
