Tom Brokaw's Big Ideas: Tom Brokaw at TEDxPortland

This did not age well at all. The naïveté is just cringe inducing. Poor Brokaw never questioned what he was taught, he just kept going and going repeating US State propaganda. Understandably, he hails from a time when there were no alternative news and only knew one side of the coin. That is his true cringeworthy meta-metaphor.

tá bom então🤭🤭🤭

Tom Brokaw has incredible integrity, what an amazing example he is to us all. I wish young people would look up to men like this rather than social media influencers and celebrities.

This is sad.
What a sappy old goofball:
‘Hey, let me brag and/or overstate/exaggerate the obvious in the most boring way possible.’

Than you to hear from you long experience...in your beautiful and to difficelt in life,...to your talk of TEDx♥️🙏

I like who I am too.

Outstanding, thank you very much Mr. Tom Brokaw and TedxPortland.

What year was this talk?

Man, WHAT an incredible man! Tom Brokaw is SO interesting!! He's amazing...really. He's a humanitarian, and I was, absolutely, moved by his stories about unity.
Today, March 7th, 2023, Joe Biden is our president, and doing a great job. However, no matter what truths have arisen about the Republican party, and the criminality of Donald J. Trump, MANY people are STILL drinking the Kool aid, and supporting him. Yes, they are NOT the top classes of society, (not having college degrees, etc.,) but, Brokaw's presentation, REALLY hit home, (for me,) about how we need to be willing to come together, standing side-by-side to work for the betterment of our country, together with them, regardless (no matter how infuriating.)

It's nine years later, and his message is just as important, if not, more important! It's as if he saw all of this coming.
It's VERY PROPHETIC.

I enjoyed it, immensely.

He uses the N word. Why? Maybe he has not entered the 21st century yet or he is beyond sensitivity or he is a product of the South. The past is of no consequence in comparison to the events unfolding now. We need to live in the present. His history lesson should be good reading for the retired.

This guy can do a speech!!! Like poetry every word!

O flour power ASD

And individual's vision is always limited to their singular perspective. The task is to make the vision universal to all and not limited to one person's perspective of time and space. Tom Brokaw was raised in an era of corporate power. I don't believe that era will continue indefinitely.

I grew up watching Mr. Brokaw deliver top stories with NBC nightly news; when his commanding deep baritone voice spoke people listen. the level of concern he transmitted was unparalleled now that I see where his coming from I realize he embodies the American Night in shining armor! He made all of us conscientious of what the greatest generation stands for and why with a great piece of Americana and not to forget we live in the world they created with the ultimate sacrifice. A fair Men who lives and stands by his values “Long live Mr. Brokaw”

His corrupt generation lead us to where we are now...

I totally agree! We lack right of passage and honor for who we are together as a country and for good reason. Our history as a country is tainted and it is terrying us down as a whole. Many people like that idea, well I'm sure they can find plenty of reasons to back up the idea that our country should fall apart. Times are getting dark and could just continue to worsen as people become more and more greedy and we just become a shallow cultural of greed.

We are who we are as a whole and we can not change our history though we can change our future. The GI bill changed everything and Civil service out of high school is the way to bring honor and unification back to this country. And further more we would have alot less war if everyone, I mean everyone's 18 year old had to go to war if war has to come to be. Not just the volunteers, those who are escaping poverty though those who also hail from the well to do rich of this country. Then those in power would think twice before picking a fight.
After high school you serve your country for two years in some kind of civil service then you are honored with the privilege of earning at least two years of good education payed for and the honor that you served and know how to serve. So much could be gained from this.

I cried

It is not your country nor is it my country. It is OUR country. Let us honor that privilege and not abuse the concept but follow examples of having Big Ideas.

Here’s a BIG IDEA 💡, that journalism refrains from being systematically embedded with Corporation$•☂️

This guy was ahead of his time. Because this age well. If there wasn’t a date, I’d thought it was a new video.

We miss you Mr. Brokaw.

9 years ago and we were divided up. It's 2022, and some divisions have grown. It's time for new big ideas. What are yours?

LADIES THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE A POKEMON GRAPHIC TEE.... 🏃🏽‍♀️ RUN! LOL!

This talk has The Most Important Information of what was before, could be now if we don’t wake-up and move some small stuff around to accommodate the Big Ideas 🙌. Outstanding, Thank You for sharing, please add more story-talks!!
(It is of those important years that are now returning with changes ‘chomping-at-the-bit’ to create enormous positive revolutions in our (Own) Field of Operation(s), and all of it simply through the hearts-will 🤍✨) I Hope so much people of power take these ideas and Run with them! You’ve had enough time to see and know all of this Duality that needs to be Transmuted, and You Sir have these Solutions!

This was 9 years ago & he says water gate was the greatest constitutional crisis this country had ever seen.... Watergate seems like a walk in the park considering where we're at now & where we continue to head late 2022

thank you so much for this Ted Talk. I feel incredibly humbled by the sacrifices that came before me, and inspired to find ways to contribute my own efforts to our home in meaningful ways.

Aww I love that movie i got to see it again

Thank you for this talk .

Put a self made billionaire in the top spot rather than a spook, career politician/millionaire made in office or a stander-by observer/commentator.

Oh Tom if only u knew what was coming

Worst thing Nixon did, giving China mist favored nation status.

2022, we are being ruled by mean girls and man haters.

Wow!

Slaves in China.. Concentration camps... and we have taken advantage of the people of the Chinese government for cheaper prices through Chinese people having no human rights in a corrupt government. i can't believe you brought in China as a positive for our nation. Can you guess the number of jobs taken from Americans because of China? I know many handicapped people lost jobs due to China doing it"cheaper"... Slavery!
