It was a window into the Elite soul.
If you don't want to watch the whole thing or even part of it, here's what jumped out at me.
Peter isn't Christian, or if he is, he doesn't understand the basic concepts of the faith. When pressed on any issue regarding the worth of the individual in China, he dismisses it with a wave of his hand and talked about how the Chinese have a different set of values. to the Chinese, the stability of the State is more important than any one Chinaman.
Matthew 25:40 is utterly alien to Mr. Walker.
And the king will say to them in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.’He goes on in that fashion for the full 15 minutes. Your life is meaningless save for how it serves the State. I mean, unless it's the US in which case McKinsey will have a completely different set of values.
Old Pete is a chameleon. That's what you'd expect from someone without any firm religious views. Expedience is his guide, not any set of fixed, objective morals. If McKinsey and Pete make money by shipping mountains of opiates to West Virginia and your brother dies from an overdose, well, that's regrettable, but you have to understand that in the long run, the economic goods obtained through blah blah blah.
This is what you get when you do away with God. Suffering comes to you in a tailored suit, the voice of world-traveled wisdom and all of the respect that a prestigious degree, good connections and a stellar resume can grant. The Smart People nod their heads in agreement when Pete and people like him talk.
You can bet CNN, NBC, NYT, WaPo, and all the rest hold Pete in high regard. After all, they have no more of a moral foundation than he does. All that superstitious nonsense - Ha! That's for the rednecks and the rubes. The Elites know better.
Peter is also a graduate of our modern education system or at least he's marinated in their broth of national equivalence. When pushed about stuffing a million Chinese Muslims into concentration camps, he plays the Japanese Internment card without hesitation. America is no better than any other country.
So Peter and his pals at McKinsey have no objective morals and owe no allegiance to any one nation. They are pursuing power and money for themselves and have banded together to form a giant collection of amoral, rapacious predators. It's like Pete is an individual cancer cell and McKinsey is a tumor.
McKinsey isn't unique. Bill Gates recently came out and told us what a fabulous job the Chinese were doing with respect to the Wuhan Flu. Billy no more believed China's reports than he believed in unicorns. What of it? There are no objective morals and America is just an arbitrary shape drawn on a map. People die all the time and if they die in Pennsylvania, Taipei or Uganda, it's all one to Bill, so long as it's not him or his people.
This is who the Elites are. In the past, I've suggested that they hate us. I'm not sure that's accurate any more. They don't hate us, they simply don't care about us any more than you care about the ants running around on the ground. Humans only have objective value if there is faith. Your countrymen only value you if they are patriotic. The Elites have done away with both.
That's how we ended up with Peter Walker.

I don’t see why you think their values are different for the US. In fact that first sentence applies to many on the left, particularly the Socialists and the left parts of the Democrat party.
