    I can listen to this guy for hours and not get bored. He's an excellent author as well.

    Yes a promising young person should go into politics... this way they can go on promising the rest of their lives.

    Greatness in any endeavor is a rarity. We know what contributes to it: courage, steadfastness, intelligence, self-control, and many other qualities. Yet, they may all be present and greatness not achieved. It is more productive, I think, to discuss what, in a political leader produces failure, human misery, destruction, and criminality. So many of our Presidents, all since the end of WW2, have been failures by the latter measures. If citizens could recognize what characteristics are liable to produce failure, how much better our lives would be even if none led to greatness.

    Lol at that guy claiming that entering WW1 was because of "economic greed"

      We could not let Germany win, or the British and French would not have been able to repay their loans from our big banks. I think that might qualify and economic greed.

    Not being Donald Trump contributes to greatness.

    FDR except for WW2 where he picked the Generals and Admirals
    was a bust. Yes he made ome people feel good but his exotic
    Policies sucked plus he tried to pack the court

    At least FIVE major errors in this talk and ZERO new ideas.

      @Luke Stoll You seem to be the one who is so certain. So, go ahead, name the five errors and we can discuss them.

    If he removed all the padding ,the lecture could have been delivered in 10 to 15 minutes. Loads of vacuous garbage.

      If Brands isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other choices.
