1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,399 Speaker 1: The World Economic Forum recently held its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. 2 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: Global leaders from around the world, business executives from around 3 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: the world all gathered in one place for a series 4 00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: of events, parties, meetings, in secret, behind the scenes, and 5 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 1: so many of these instances. So why should you care? 6 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: How much influence to these people have over lives and 7 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: what happens there in Davos, Switzerland. As their levant, founder 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: and owner of Rebel News was there to hold their 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: leader's fee to the fire, to hold people accountable. He 10 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: was able to get interviews with people like Gretta Thunberg 11 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: more or less was able to pin them down and 12 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: ask them questions. But Greta Thunberg, he asked her questions 13 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: about her role and really pushing pain and suffering on 14 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: so many people around the world with her climate policies. 15 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: He was able to interview Fighter CEO Albert Borla about 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: misleading the public about the efficacy of Fiser's COVID vaccine. 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: So we're going to talk to Ezra about what really 18 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: goes on, what really happens behind the scenes, and how 19 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: much control these people have over our lives. I hope 20 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: you enjoyed this conversation with isra Levant, founder and owner 21 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: of Rebel News, as our Thanks so much for coming 22 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: on the show. You guys do really great work at 23 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: Rebel News, so I appreciate what you do. And you're 24 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: the founder and owner, so I appreciate you creating such 25 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: a great news organization. Well thanks for saying that. I mean, 26 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: we we have a contrarian style. Our motto is telling 27 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,279 Speaker 1: the other side of the story, and on some things 28 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: like the World Economic Forum, it's really rare to have 29 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: skeptics because the media party, as I call it, the 30 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: mainstream media or the regime media, they don't seem to 31 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: have any skeptical questions for the World Economic Forum, but 32 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions that should be asked to 33 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: that way. What's really strange is that there's this alignment, 34 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 1: at least in America. You know, it's not really just 35 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat. They're sort of we call the uniparty 36 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: now because they share a lot of the similar viewpoints, 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: especially when it comes to you know, sort of this 38 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: global viewpoint of the world. And then also the media 39 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 1: lines with them. So we're really in this place, to 40 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: your point, where it's the citizens voice that isn't represented 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: anymore in the public sphere. Yeah. Well, I mean, let 42 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: me say this, there were hundreds of journalists at the 43 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: World Economic Form in Davos. In fact, they had beautiful 44 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: pavilions CNN, CNBC, UH New York Times. They all were 45 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: there in force and had pride of place. But understand 46 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: they had to pay for that status. They were there 47 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: as insiders. They were there as sponsors, so by definition 48 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: they were not going to ask any accountability questions. They 49 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: were not going to ask any skeptical questions. They were 50 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: there more too, I don't know, to to synchronize their 51 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: narrative with the other oligarchs there. So it was. It 52 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: was sort of ironic because Albert Borla, the CEO of Fiser, 53 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: who we managed to bump into on the street and 54 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: ask some prickly questions to, he had actually just come 55 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: from another media interview. So if you were to ask 56 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: Albert Bula, why don't you do any media, he'd say, you, Kenny, 57 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: I do media all day long, and it's true, but 58 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: he would do regime media, softball media. He wasn't ready 59 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: for unscripted, unvetted questions that came from peasant citizen journalists 60 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: like us. Well, and I want to play a clip 61 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: from that because we do have it. Let's play that 62 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: real question, students stop transmission? How long did you know 63 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: that without saying it publicly? Answer that question? I mean, 64 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: we we now know that the vaccines didn't stop transmission, 65 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: but why did you keep it secret? You said it 66 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: was a hundred percent effective, then nine percent, but we 67 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: now know that the vaccines do not trans transmission? Why 68 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: did you keep that secret? And for the footes at home, 69 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: that's Ezra asking the Fiser CEO, Albert Borela, about the 70 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: fact that they lied to us as there was no remorse. 71 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: I mean he was baffled that it looked at you 72 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: kind of like, how you know, how dare you even 73 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: question me? There's been absolutely you know, no remorse, no 74 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: no course correction from Fiser at all on any of this. Yeah, 75 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: myself and my colleague Abby Amini peppered him with twenty 76 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: nine questions in a three minute span, and some of them, 77 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: I admit, were a little bit rhetorical or a little snippy. 78 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: I said, what do you think about on your yacht? 79 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: That was one of my questions. That's obviously just a 80 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: rhetorical question. But we had a lot of real questions 81 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: that I think you should have answered. Like we asked 82 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: about product liability, I mean the fact that a lot 83 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 1: of people are getting terrible side effects, including dying. UM. 84 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,119 Speaker 1: I asked about the efficacy of the of the acts. 85 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: I mean there was a point in time they said 86 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,679 Speaker 1: it was a percent effective. Well, we know that's not true. UM. 87 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 1: I asked him about the fact that Fightser once paid 88 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: the largest fun in American history two point three billion 89 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 1: dollars for deceptive marketing, And I asked him about that 90 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: kind of misconduct here. Now, I'm not saying those are 91 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: easy questions. I think they're all legitimate questions. Given the 92 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: public nature of Viser, it really has big farmer and 93 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: big government merged during the pandemic. So I think he 94 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: owes us questions as any other public figure would. But 95 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: why didn't he just give me his corporate bladder, Like 96 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: why didn't he even just read? Like, surely he has 97 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: something to say about those questions. But the fact that 98 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: he chose not to say a single word, even his 99 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: talking points that he would use with other journalists showed 100 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: I think a contempt for citizens who weren't part of 101 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: his approved jet set, and you know, part of me thought, well, 102 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: why am I still asking him questions if he's not 103 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: answering them. We we sort of walked with him through 104 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: the streets until he finally ducked into a hotel. And 105 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: I think in the end it showed that we asked 106 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: real questions that the regime media really hasn't asked him 107 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: in two years. So it was it was Albert Borla 108 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 1: on trial, but in a way it was also other 109 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: media on trial. Like I said, he had just come 110 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: from an official UH interview at Davos, but of course 111 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: they never asked him questions like that. So I think 112 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: Albert Borla has a lot of answering to do. Fiser 113 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: has a lot of answering to do. But the media, 114 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: who gave him nothing but softballs for two years, they 115 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: have a lot of answering to do. Also, well you 116 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: know what they do. And of course, I mean they've 117 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: made so much money off of this. I mean, their 118 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: company's profits triple. He was making something he makes, you know, 119 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars in salary, and he you know, 120 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people ended up getting the vaccine because 121 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: they were told these things, you know, they were told 122 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: about its efficacy, they were told that it was hunder 123 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: percent effective. They were told these things that ended up 124 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: not being true, and they're shielded from liability in so 125 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: many of these instances. You know, they are here in America. 126 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: And so I appreciate you guys trying to hold his 127 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: feet to the fire. You know, he deserves to beyond 128 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: the receiving end of that after you know, essentially forcing 129 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: this vaccine upon so many people, being dishonest about it, 130 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: and then now we're saying that it's harming so many people. 131 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: Remember the rationale for the vaccine mandates, and they were 132 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: particularly punitive up here in Canada. They weren't quite as 133 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: bad in the States, although a lot of public sector workers, military, police, 134 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: fire teachers had vaccine mandates. Airlines in Canada, private citizens 135 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: were not even allowed on domestic flights if you weren't vaxed. 136 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: So the second largest country in the world, Canada, you 137 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: were not allowed to fly even within your own country 138 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: as a citizen if you weren't vacced. So these vaccine passports, 139 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: these vaccine mandates, many people losing their jobs, are being 140 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: banned from public places. They were all premised on the 141 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: idea that the vaccine stopped you from transmitting the disease. 142 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 1: As in, if you said, well, I'm willing to risk 143 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: my own health by not having the vaccine, that's a 144 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: libertarian choice, that's a personal choice. The answer by the 145 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: state was always, well, you'll harm other people. You must 146 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: take the vaccine to stop transmission. And that's why that 147 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: was such an important question for me to ask Albert 148 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: Brula because he knew that the vaccine didn't stop transmission. 149 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: He didn't say that, and you know, for a year 150 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: because he loved these vaccine mandates. What better way to 151 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: sell a product than to have it forced on people 152 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: on pain of them losing their jobs. But he knew 153 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: the entire premise was false, but he didn't care because 154 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: he's got that because he's got that private chet and 155 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: he's a salesman. He's not he's not even a medical doctor, 156 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: by the way. He's a veterinarian, which is odd. But 157 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: he became extremely wealthy personally. Feiser became an incredibly profitable 158 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: company based on the fact that no one asked him 159 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: tough questions and how many people out there were forced 160 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: to take the job to keep their jobs or lost 161 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: their jobs because they stood on principle, this guy has 162 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: a lot of answering to do that. I did not 163 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: get it and made that very publicly known. And the 164 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: only reason I had ever contemplated getting it, because I 165 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: was never at risk, was because of that whole Oh 166 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: you want to protect the people you love. And then 167 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: when I started seeing all these quote unquote breakthrough cases happening, 168 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 1: I was sort of, you know, put two and two 169 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: together and realized that it wasn't stopping the spread, you know, 170 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: and then ultimately said, you know, I you too, you know, 171 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and all these people trying to force it 172 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: on me. Take a quick commercial break more with Ezra Levant. 173 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: Did you watch I don't know if you saw the 174 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: Project Veritas video recently with the fiser's director of research 175 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: and development talking about how their thought process is potentially 176 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: mutating the vire has. Let's play that. I want to 177 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: get your thoughts, and then we'll move on to Greta 178 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: Fightser ultimately is thinking about mutating COVID. Well, that is 179 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: not at least say to the public, know that was 180 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: only one building. You have a public have publish talk 181 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: about we're exploring like no, you know, the virus chose commutating. Yeah, well, 182 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,839 Speaker 1: one of the things we're exploring it is like why 183 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:38,479 Speaker 1: don't we just mutating art so we could work only 184 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: development vaccines, right, So we have to do that and 185 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: we're going to do that, though there's a risk, like 186 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: as you could imagine, no one wants to be having 187 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: a pharmer company dings. It could be like very controlled 188 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:50,439 Speaker 1: to make sure that those virus and you you take 189 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: it create something like itsells everywhere, something crazy. Just the 190 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: way that the virus started moving on to be honest, 191 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: like it would be no sense of because I was 192 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 1: talked out of nowhere, like yeah, I charch director of 193 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: Research and Development, Strategic Operations and the m R and 194 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: Day Scientific Planner talking about a potential desire to mutate 195 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: the virus. I mean, we're sort of in this weird 196 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: realm now where there's just such a loss of faith 197 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: in government, in public health and all of it. And 198 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: why can we trust them when you have people like 199 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: him saying this when he thinks he's behind the scenes, 200 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: he thinks he's in private. Yeah, I saw that it. 201 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: I think it's the most stunning revelation that Project Veritas 202 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: has done in years, and I deeply admire Project very 203 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: Tasks and James O'Keeffe, and they certainly look like they've 204 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 1: done their homework here. But I have to say, it's 205 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: such an insane thing to say, such an such a 206 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: doctor evil like Bond villain thing to say that. Part 207 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: of me is thinking, surely that guy was just was 208 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: just talking like a fabulous Surely he was indulging in 209 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: in some fiction. Because I, although I completely trust James 210 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: O'Keefe and Project VeriTest, that is so insane, part of 211 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: me thinks I just can't believe it. It's too crazy. 212 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe maybe I uh, I just can't 213 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: even believe how insane that is. If that's true, we 214 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: are in deep trouble, pretty dark these days. Was just 215 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: watching uh you know, the way that these people behave. 216 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 1: And then also just from the fact that you know 217 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: COVID is obviously COVID from gain of function having been 218 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: released from Wuhan. Obviously you know they were working on 219 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: bat coronavirus is it escapes, So it's sort of how 220 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: this all originated to begin with. So you would think 221 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: it's ill advised to continue trying to play god with 222 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: these things. Particularly if it's for profit. You know, you 223 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: had also had time, You guys were able to find 224 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 1: Greta Thunberg as well. Let's play this clip and then 225 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about the exchange and 226 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: what you learned from it afterwards. Kind of would you 227 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: say you're a child actor? Are you a child actor 228 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: or expert? How would you describe yourself? How can we 229 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: never protest Saudi Arabia or Russia? You only protest Western energy? 230 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: Why have you never criticized bloatom and Putin or OPEC? Yeah, 231 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: I've never done that. Never will you do so? Now? 232 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: Will you condemn OPEC energy? Sorry? Why doesn't she, you know, 233 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: condemn Saudi Arabia or Russia? Why is it always these 234 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: the Western nations? Yeah? I mean, if you take progressives 235 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: at face value, the reason they care about the way 236 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: energy is made is because of their liberal values. They 237 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: they're worried about environmental responsibility. They're worried that oil profits 238 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: will be used for violence, either war or terrorism. They 239 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 1: say they care about workers, are they being well paid? 240 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: And finally they say they care about human rights? Civil rights? 241 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: How do you treat minorities? How do you treat women 242 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: and gay people and indigenous people. So if those are 243 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: your progressive values, environmental responsibility, peace, the treatment of workers, 244 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: and civil liberties, you would naturally favor oil made in 245 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: ethical jurisdictions like the United States and Canada and the 246 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: North Sea and places like that. You would favor ethical 247 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: oil over conflict oil from places like Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, etcetera. So, 248 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: until we don't need oil anymore, and by the way, 249 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna need it for the foreseeable future. But until 250 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: that happy day comes where we don't need oil anymore, 251 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to get it from somewhere. And they 252 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: don't make oil in Switzerland or Belgium or the chocolate 253 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: making superpowers, you know. I mean, those are wonderful little countries. 254 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: But I don't know what God was thinking when he 255 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: gave out oil, But he gave it to all the 256 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: world's bastards. Why does Greta only condemn energy in the West, 257 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: in the free democracies? Why does she never not even 258 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: rhetorically criticized conflict oil? And I asked her another question, Um, 259 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean, there are so many questions that we put 260 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: almost a hundred to her. I mean, really, how would 261 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: what she say be any different of what Vladimir Putin 262 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: would say? Actually asked that of another protester, like if 263 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: if Vladimir Putin had his way, Greta would only criticize 264 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 1: ethical oil and never criticize Russian oil, because that's really 265 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: Putin's weapon, it's the oil weapon. That's how he can 266 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: inform his invasion of Ukraine is oil and gas. So 267 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: it just seems odd to me that Greta only criticizes 268 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: our oil. And that's why I asked her, are you 269 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: an expert? Are you just a child actor? Let me 270 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 1: say one more thing least, this is very important to know. 271 00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: Greta Tundberg looks like a little girl, but she's twenty. 272 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: She's twenty years old now she I think she's maybe 273 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: developmentally arrested or something, because she really is extremely short 274 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: and she looks like a twelve year old. And I 275 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: think it's been the source of her power. She looks 276 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 1: like a an old Testament prophet, like a child prophet, 277 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: you know, condemning us and warning us. I really actually, 278 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: in the course of our twenty minute interview with her, 279 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 1: she giggled probably thirty times instead of answering. She gave 280 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: sarcastic answers. I don't think she gave one serious answer. 281 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: I came away from my time with Greta thinking she's 282 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: either completely ignorant, which you might expect from a high 283 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: school dropout. That was her whole thing, striking in high school. 284 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: Don't go to school kids, let's go on a school strike, 285 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: or she's just a puppet for some other force. I 286 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: asked her who her pr agency was. She didn't give 287 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: me a straight answer. She said, I wish I had one. Well, 288 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: we sort of know she does have one, So I 289 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: in conclusion, I think that Greta Tunberg is sort of 290 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: an empty vessel, like an actor who reads lines given 291 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: to her by someone who wrote the script. She's twenty 292 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: years old, so she's not a baby, but she's not 293 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: a scholar. She's not that well informed. She just reached 294 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: her lines, and for that twenty minutes we were with her, 295 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: she didn't have her lines handy exchange and the questions 296 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: that were asked to her. And I got the same 297 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: impression as you did in the sense of and what's sad, though, 298 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: is that this is someone who is treated as a 299 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: serious person. I mean this is someone who has access 300 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: to world leaders. This is someone who is purported to 301 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: be an expert by the media. And when you watch 302 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: the exchange with her, which is probably why she doesn't 303 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: ever do any oppositional interviews, there was no substance there. 304 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: She she knew nothing to your point, she was an 305 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,399 Speaker 1: empty vessel. But she's shaping world policy. It's like you know, 306 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,960 Speaker 1: and that's the thing. She's got to pick a lane. Uh. 307 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean, either she is an authoritative source of information 308 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: and argument who must be listened to by the United Nations, 309 00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: by presidents and even by royalty. Either she is that 310 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: authoritative and we must hang on her every word, or 311 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: she's just a young person, as she said to us 312 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: with giggles, saying, oh ha, I don't take anything seriously, 313 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: So you can't keep switching from one foot to the other, 314 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: depending on if you want to be serious or not. 315 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: Um And there was an amazing thing that happened. It 316 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 1: wasn't just rebel news reporters. We had three reporters on 317 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 1: our team rotating asking her questions, but there were a 318 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: couple of reporters from the regime media who were along too, 319 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: and they had a few questions which I thought were 320 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 1: very weak. One of them was, Greta, how's your trip 321 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: to Dabos going so far? Okay, that's not exactly an 322 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: accountability question. Another one said, hey, are you going to 323 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: have any protests while year? Okay, that's sort of interesting, 324 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: but you've got Greta Tunberg and and that's what you're 325 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 1: gonna ask her. Like it was so weak, And after 326 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 1: a while, these other regime journalists, they were irritated by 327 00:18:53,960 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: our accountability style questions. They started answering our questions for Greta. 328 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,160 Speaker 1: One of my colleagues said, Greta, who are your advisors? 329 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 1: Who do you take your guidance from? That's a really 330 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,400 Speaker 1: good question, by the way, because she's only a twenty 331 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 1: year old young woman, and she didn't have a good answer, 332 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:18,120 Speaker 1: so other journalists piped up and answered for her. There 333 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: was a moment when other journalists told us to shut up, 334 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: called us stupid or idiots, and by the way, maybe 335 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 1: we are stupid and maybe we are idiots, but isn't 336 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 1: that for Gretta to say? And by the way, she 337 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: didn't say that. She thanked us at the end of 338 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: the interview, which was sort of courteous of her. But 339 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: one of the most interesting things, and this relates to 340 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: my point about Albert Burlap. No one ever asked that 341 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: Albert Burla, the CEO of fies her a tough question 342 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: in his life, and then we hit him with twenty 343 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: nine and them and it had him. Really, I don't 344 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: think Greta has ever had a adversarial interview in her life. 345 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: She didn't really know what to do. But the other media, uh, 346 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,199 Speaker 1: they actually did know what to do. Their job was 347 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: run interference for Greta. They were not there as journalists. 348 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: They were there as magnifiers and propagators and um narrative 349 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: boosters for Greta. It was really revealing. Again, I learned 350 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: as much about the media as I learned about Greta 351 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,479 Speaker 1: Economic Forum and what you're sort of underscoring and making 352 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 1: these points is that they were part of this protected class. 353 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: And it doesn't that kind of get to the heart 354 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: of the World Economic Forum, that it's this group of 355 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: elites who believe that they know better than us, They 356 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: believe they know better than the average citizen, and they 357 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: want to be the ones dictating and controlling how we 358 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 1: live our lives. Oh yeah, I mean I heard about 359 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: the private jets, and so we actually went to a 360 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: private jet airstrip UH called Alterheim, which is nothing but 361 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: private jets. No commercial jets fly there. Every ten minutes 362 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: another private plane landed with a W E F delegate 363 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: and then they went into a quickly went into a 364 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: helicopter to take them the last UH leg of the journey, 365 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,639 Speaker 1: and then they got into a black suv with tinted 366 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: windows to drive them where they were going. So private 367 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: jet to alter him, helicopter to Davos, and then black 368 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: tinted window suv. There were a few green vehicles. There 369 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: were a few Tesla's there that Uber had as sort 370 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: of a promotional stick. Hey we're Uber, check out Uber Green. 371 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: But it was just a fun thing, like a like 372 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: a promotion. Every v I p at Davos was getting 373 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: around in big black tinted window Mega SUVs and there 374 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: were I heard there were one thousand private jet flights 375 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: into alter Had. I believe it. When I was there, 376 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: it was literally every ten minutes another jet came um. 377 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: And the reason I tell you this is not that 378 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: I'm anti jet or that I'm anti prosperity, or that 379 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: I don't think people should be able to get rich. 380 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 1: I think all those things are fine, but these people 381 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: are the ones who say to you, not only should 382 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: you not fly, you should drive less. You should heat 383 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: your house less. You shouldn't eat meat because it's too 384 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: carbon intensive, you should eat synthetic meat, or even bugs. 385 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: And as that famous W. E. F. Slogan goes, you'll 386 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: own nothing and you'll be happy. So how can you 387 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: be a private jet center and then say, oh, you 388 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: little people, you peasants, should eat bugs. By the way, 389 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: one of our reporters bumped into John Kerry, the former 390 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: Secretary State who is now Biden's Climate envoy, him and 391 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: asked him how he could fly there on a private jet, 392 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: and John Kerry looked him right in the eye and said, 393 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: I fly exclusively commercial. Well, we know that's not true. 394 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: I mean, unless he just decided that that morning. We 395 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: know that John Kerry has flown probably on more private 396 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: jets than any and other than I supposed to President 397 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: of the United States. But obviously he's sensitive to that 398 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: charge of hypocrisy. You should never take advice from people 399 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 1: who are doing the exact opposite. And this was a 400 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: meeting of billionaires and oligarchs. Alex Soros was there um. 401 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 1: Bill Gates was not there this time, but Larry Fink 402 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: of Black Rock was there. These are some of the richest, 403 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: most powerful people in the world telling you to have 404 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: a poorer life. They want you to have fuel poverty, 405 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: energy poverty, food poverty. There's something really creepy about them. Look, 406 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,199 Speaker 1: anyone can have their own opinions, but these folks are 407 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: trying to actually change world policy. They're actually trying to 408 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: change the law under which people around the world lived. 409 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: They have this concept called global citizenship. Well that sounds 410 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: sort of cool, but what does it mean. I know 411 00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: what being an American citizen or a Canadian citizen means. 412 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: You have certain rights, you have the constitution protect you, 413 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: you can kick out your leaders if every four years. 414 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things that being a citizen of 415 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: America or Canada or the United Kingdom give you. But 416 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: the World Economic Form wants to replace that with what 417 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 1: they call global citizenship, which means run by a group 418 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: of technocratic you know, experts, them who you can never 419 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: get rid of, never escape, never switched to another country 420 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: because they run the world. And you don't have rights. 421 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: You don't You are just a subject. You are a consumer. 422 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: And that's their future, that's what they want from you. 423 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: You know, if people listening like, oh, why should I care? 424 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, why should I? But you really just laid 425 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: out why they should care and why this is all 426 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: important and why we're having this discussion and why you 427 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: guys were there covering it as well. You know, there 428 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: are so many panels that they did, in conversations that 429 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,400 Speaker 1: were had. If you had to pick one, what disturbed 430 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: you the post about what you saw or what you 431 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: heard while being there. Well, I saw a lot of 432 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: high value politicians. I saw Mark Kearney, the former Bank 433 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 1: of England governor, also former Bank of Canada governor, who's 434 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: who people say we will likely run for prime minister 435 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,679 Speaker 1: of my country Canada. I saw Brian Camp the Republican governor. 436 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: I saw a lot of powerful people. And then I 437 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: saw Albert Boulla Fiser and John Kerry. And here's what 438 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: I thought. Their meeting in secret. They have all these 439 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: secret meeting rooms UM called bilateral meeting rooms where you 440 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: can book them. It's like a it's like a cabana 441 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 1: on a beach or something, um and all these secret 442 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: meetings going on. Why does that bother me? Because If 443 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: they were meeting in Washington, d C. They would register 444 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 1: with the Lobbyist Registry. People who come and go from 445 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: the White House have to log in. All of that 446 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: information is disclosable. Donations are recorded by uh, you know, 447 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: the FEC. There are all sorts of checks and balances 448 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: on how government is done in a democracy. There's an 449 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,960 Speaker 1: opposition party, there's a media, there is the congressional record. 450 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: There are all sorts of foreign uh you know, if 451 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: you're a foreign agent, you have to register. None of 452 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: that happens at the World Economic Form. It is a 453 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: free for all with none of the accountability mechanisms, none 454 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: of the checks and balances that exist in national legislatures. 455 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: Your congress are parliament. So it's like what happens in 456 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: Davos stays in Davos. They can cut any deal, have 457 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: any meeting, take any cash, and like I say, it's 458 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: a pay to play place, um to get to get 459 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: in on the inside. Depending on what position or status 460 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: could be a quarter million dollars, four thousand dollars could 461 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: be more than a million dollars to pay Klaus Schwab's 462 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: private company to get in. And that's hears me when 463 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: I see government officials at this sort of anything goes 464 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: we'll keep no records. Uh. I won't quite call him 465 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: a secret society, but most of their work is done 466 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: in secret. Quick break more with the founder and owner 467 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: of Rebel News. People are waking up around the world 468 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: and just realizing that so many of our leaders don't 469 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: care about us and in factor or trying to make 470 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: our lives more difficult, as you mentioned, make us poorer. 471 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: We we don't own anything, trying to make the quality 472 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: of life less than what our parents had. So I 473 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: do think that people are waking up. I hope they 474 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: continue to wake up as well. Yeah, well, I hope So. 475 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: I mean I enjoyed being there to do our contrarian thing. 476 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, our motto at Rebel News is telling the 477 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: other side of the story, and these days that's not 478 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: even uh, that's not even universally accepted. I mean a 479 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,160 Speaker 1: generation ago, the idea of having more than one one 480 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: of view was taken for granted, not just in journalism, 481 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 1: but frankly in medicine. You know, can I get a 482 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 1: second opinion? Now? If you are not part of the 483 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: official narrative, they'll try and cancel you. Even doctors I 484 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 1: saw the other day in California they were trying to 485 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 1: pass the rule that a doctor could not have a 486 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,360 Speaker 1: second opinion on matters like vaccines. And I'm not obsessed 487 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: with vaccines. I'm just saying it was incredible how they 488 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: abridged our civil liberties to sell those jobs. And I'm 489 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: worried that journalism has been so totally co opted and 490 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: the censorship of you know, all these so called fact checkers, 491 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: they're not fact checking powerful people. They're fact checking critics 492 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: of powerful people. They're holding the opposition to account. I 493 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: never see Reuters fact check or AP fact check going 494 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,959 Speaker 1: after the government. They're always going after critics of the government, 495 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: and that's not how it should be. I really feel 496 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: like you're seeing a merger of big business media, big tech, 497 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: and I think for ordinary people it means higher prices 498 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: for things, more regulations, more social engineering like eat your bugs, 499 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: and less free speech and diversity of opinion. That's why 500 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm worried about all right, you know, I I share 501 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: your concerns, which is why I believe the work you're 502 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: doing at Rebel News is so important. So, as a 503 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: relevant founder and owner of Rebel News, thank you so much. 504 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 1: For taking the time and thank you for the work 505 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: you do. I really do believe it's really important to 506 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: actually hold or leaders accountable. A novel concept, right so, 507 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: but people are doing it in the media and you 508 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: are so thank you for that. Well my pleasure. And 509 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: if folks want to see all our work from Davos, 510 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: we we've put a special compilation page.
