00:00The book West or Nothing is a work that has kept me busy for a long time in the last year.
00:07and is actually the fruit of over 36 years of career, travel, meetings and so on
00:13it is first of all the book of a chronicler, of a reporter who went to the places
00:18There is no scene in the book that I did not witness, as a participant
00:26so first of all it is the chronicle of a very long period of time
00:31and then it is the defense of Western values, it is not a dogmatic or ideological defense
00:39but it is the acknowledgement of the fact that freedom, respect for individual rights
00:44respect for the rights of the company, of the market and of people
00:52It is the foundation of our civilization that begins in Athens and continues through Rome.
01:01it spreads from Jerusalem and so on to Paris, to Washington
01:07and builds over the centuries that thing where we live
01:11which is the West, there is an important subtitle in the book
01:16the West or nothing which is the praise of Atlanticism
01:19because Atlanticism is the bridge that connects the United States, the new world
01:24and the American century to ours, to the old world
01:28to dear old Europe
01:32well, we started to see some very strong differences
01:37between the United States and Europe
01:40the midterm elections 48 hours ago
01:44I am an example of this
01:47the meaning of that vote is very important
01:50the West or nothing also tells
01:53with a certain amount of advance notice
01:55more or less what could have happened
01:58and what's happening
02:00one of the reasons for our crisis
02:02which is obviously solvable
02:04like all crises there will be a fall
02:06and the climb as always
02:08decline and fall is what they say
02:10it's the fact that we can no longer recognize ourselves
02:15in the values of freedom
02:17we despise it, often and willingly
02:19we didn't understand that it's actually the defense
02:22it is the conquest of every day
02:25we didn't understand that in reality we didn't understand that in reality it is the fact that in reality it is the
02:27fact that is actually our life
