Transcript of the above video: 

First of all, I would like to say, this is one of the only instances of me reshooting a video. I actually did another version of this video; I canned it; we actually edited it, produced it and I don't like it. I don't think it conveyed what I wanted to convey, so we scrapped that. I don't do that. I would just like that noted. For anybody that wants to know how these videos work, I shoot these extemporaneously; I just make these videos and then my producer, he puts them all together and edits them and you see the end product. But the point I'm trying to make, the content itself is extemporaneous. I had done one, and I watched it; I just didn't love it. Sometimes I'll do that, I'll see one, I'll be like, "I could have done that better" but I have a real job okay, so I have got to get on with it. At the end of the day, the point I'm trying to make is I wanted to make this video as maybe a message and then I'm going to get back to my job frankly, to the Prime Minister. And Madam, I would just like to say the thumbnail is actually from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The reason I bring it up, I like the thumbnail, I just love the catch of that. It's Dumbledore standing alone and there's a scene. In that scene he says, "understand that if you undertake this, the Goblet of Fire challenge, the tournament of champions, he says “you stand alone”, and that's worth noting. And the reason I bring this up and where does "this too shall pass" come from? Well there's a parallel here to my life if you will and there was the Dean of our Law School what we called in Dean Concannon, he actually taught me Civil Procedure and Conflict of Laws and I didn't take Civ Pro 2 with him but I did take Conflicts and Civ Pro; I probably did some other procedural stuff with him, but those two I remember vividly. In any event he had been there for years and Civil Procedure in your first year of law school is one of the most daunting courses. It's actually usually one of the courses that people wash out on frankly. It's a pretty tough class. I'm a procedural guy like that's just how I think, so it never bothered me quite as much, but going into that course he always and apparently this was kind of something he said a lot, he would say, "this too shall pass". 

The point I'm trying to make here is I think there's parallels and I just thought of thinking, I saw an article the other day that you Madam Prime Minister getting to the point here, are about to face this no confidence vote and I think it's worth noting one, this too shall pass. That was very reassuring to me at the time and maybe if I can pass along a little bit of reassurance to you at this time, I would hope I can do that. That said, something else that I think is even more worth your attention Mam. It's what Dumbledore said, "you stand alone". Now as I said in a prior video, at a certain point you'll have to govern all of us, and I think that you have shown you have that ability. And I'm confident you're actually going to make it through this no confidence thing, but I've been through my own trials and tribulations in the past and I have had to stand alone myself under certain circumstances. It's not fun. I don't envy you in that part of it. But there's a book my mother gave me when I was young called Taipan that I read, it is by James Clavell; I read the whole series. There's a line in there where it says, "the blessing and the curse of being a Taipan is being alone" and if you have ever been in one of these situations that I would doubt from your background that you probably have frankly, this may be the first time that's ever happened for you. I don't know. I don't know you, but I would guess. Standing alone is not the most pleasant thing in its own way, but I would tell you or I would say savour it, because maybe not savour it, but at least appreciate it during the time that you're doing it for what it is because it's a moment that will be unparalleled with many of the rest of the moments in your life. So, I won't say enjoy it but just respect it for what it is. Sort of look at your surroundings in the moment.

The other thing is I think presuming that you get through the no confidence motion - I think that'll probably happen, it's not going to be particularly pleasant - talk about an example of the process is the punishment - but here we go, not going to be the most fun thing but they made it clear, you're standing alone, so fine, they're voting on you. You make it through this, and I think the ultimately will - this too shall pass - but once you're through it, it's about, this is your term then. This is sort of your Parliament at that point, and I am very optimistic that I think you will make the right calls ultimately. I was listening to the other day Douglas McGregor talking about President Trump and McGregor said - Colonel Douglas McGregor, he was in the first Gulf War, very decorated guy, very smart guy, I listen to him a lot - and he said, look sometimes Trump makes bad decisions based on bad data but when he's given the right data he makes the right decisions and I think ultimately that's pretty well born out. I don't agree with every little thing Trump's done. I don't agree with every little thing you've done by the way, but that said, I ultimately think, I have sort of been observing, when presented with the right data, I think you make the right call, so I'm optimistic and I'm hopeful and I have said it before, I believe in this coalition, I believe in you and I'm looking forward to you just sort of going through this no confidence vote and we get Thailand moving on down the road. Parliament starts moving on down the road; we get Thailand past all this COVID nonsense, and we get back to rebuilding the country and getting ourselves back to the level of wealth and prosperity we should be at. So, I look forward to watching that, Mam. If I may say just one little thing though, maybe less WEF stuff, maybe less WEF stuff, okay. World economic Forum, I get it. Ms. Gabbbard, Tulsi Gabbard our new DNI, she's sort of the queen of spies in America now. She went to a WEF meeting. I saw where there was some ambush journalist which I really don't like that, but some ambush journalist got her and they were like didn't you go to the World Economic Forum and she was like yeah, I went once. I didn't exactly know what it was, but I went. I'm not going to say I didn’t, and same with you, okay. I'm not going to say that you knew everything about the World Economic Forum. Believe me, the first time I ever heard of them I thought they were some kind of magazine they wanted me to subscribe to like US News or World Report or something, okay. It sounds very banal, very innocuous. Once you dig into it and find out oh my gosh these people have nothing they want to do any good for anybody on so that would be my only thing. Just a lot less of that, but I am very hopeful Mam, I'm very, very hopeful and I look forward to watching the rest of this Parliamentary term play out.
