WEBVTT - The World Economic Forum with Ezra Levant 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:06.399 The World Economic Forum recently held its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland. 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:11.119 Global leaders from around the world, business executives from around 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:15.240 the world all gathered in one place for a series 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:21.640 of events, parties, meetings, in secret, behind the scenes, and 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.919 so many of these instances. So why should you care? 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.520 How much influence to these people have over lives and 0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:33.360 what happens there in Davos, Switzerland. As their levant, founder 0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.680 and owner of Rebel News was there to hold their 0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.839 leader's fee to the fire, to hold people accountable. He 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.720 was able to get interviews with people like Gretta Thunberg 0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:44.720 more or less was able to pin them down and 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.160 ask them questions. But Greta Thunberg, he asked her questions 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:52.159 about her role and really pushing pain and suffering on 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.760 so many people around the world with her climate policies. 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.880 He was able to interview Fighter CEO Albert Borla about 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:04.360 misleading the public about the efficacy of Fiser's COVID vaccine. 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:07.560 So we're going to talk to Ezra about what really 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.679 goes on, what really happens behind the scenes, and how 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:15.560 much control these people have over our lives. I hope 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.880 you enjoyed this conversation with isra Levant, founder and owner 0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:27.600 of Rebel News, as our Thanks so much for coming 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:30.000 on the show. You guys do really great work at 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:32.679 Rebel News, so I appreciate what you do. And you're 0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.920 the founder and owner, so I appreciate you creating such 0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:38.000 a great news organization. Well thanks for saying that. I mean, 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.600 we we have a contrarian style. Our motto is telling 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.279 the other side of the story, and on some things 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.680 like the World Economic Forum, it's really rare to have 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:51.360 skeptics because the media party, as I call it, the 0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:54.720 mainstream media or the regime media, they don't seem to 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.600 have any skeptical questions for the World Economic Forum, but 0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.640 there's a lot of questions that should be asked to 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.640 that way. What's really strange is that there's this alignment, 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.880 at least in America. You know, it's not really just 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.240 Republican or Democrat. They're sort of we call the uniparty 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:11.680 now because they share a lot of the similar viewpoints, 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.760 especially when it comes to you know, sort of this 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.120 global viewpoint of the world. And then also the media 0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:19.760 lines with them. So we're really in this place, to 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:23.840 your point, where it's the citizens voice that isn't represented 0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:26.640 anymore in the public sphere. Yeah. Well, I mean, let 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.639 me say this, there were hundreds of journalists at the 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:33.160 World Economic Form in Davos. In fact, they had beautiful 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:39.760 pavilions CNN, CNBC, UH New York Times. They all were 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.960 there in force and had pride of place. But understand 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:47.440 they had to pay for that status. They were there 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.600 as insiders. They were there as sponsors, so by definition 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.799 they were not going to ask any accountability questions. They 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.639 were not going to ask any skeptical questions. They were 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.799 there more too, I don't know, to to synchronize their 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.960 narrative with the other oligarchs there. So it was. It 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:11.240 was sort of ironic because Albert Borla, the CEO of Fiser, 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:14.160 who we managed to bump into on the street and 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.800 ask some prickly questions to, he had actually just come 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.120 from another media interview. So if you were to ask 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:23.280 Albert Bula, why don't you do any media, he'd say, you, Kenny, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.520 I do media all day long, and it's true, but 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:32.160 he would do regime media, softball media. He wasn't ready 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:38.560 for unscripted, unvetted questions that came from peasant citizen journalists 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.560 like us. Well, and I want to play a clip 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.120 from that because we do have it. Let's play that 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.320 real question, students stop transmission? How long did you know 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:51.640 that without saying it publicly? Answer that question? I mean, 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.040 we we now know that the vaccines didn't stop transmission, 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:57.720 but why did you keep it secret? You said it 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:03.000 was a hundred percent effective, then nine percent, but we 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:06.360 now know that the vaccines do not trans transmission? Why 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:10.000 did you keep that secret? And for the footes at home, 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:14.280 that's Ezra asking the Fiser CEO, Albert Borela, about the 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.400 fact that they lied to us as there was no remorse. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.320 I mean he was baffled that it looked at you 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.039 kind of like, how you know, how dare you even 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.520 question me? There's been absolutely you know, no remorse, no 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:30.200 no course correction from Fiser at all on any of this. Yeah, 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.520 myself and my colleague Abby Amini peppered him with twenty 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.040 nine questions in a three minute span, and some of them, 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.880 I admit, were a little bit rhetorical or a little snippy. 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.920 I said, what do you think about on your yacht? 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.760 That was one of my questions. That's obviously just a 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.719 rhetorical question. But we had a lot of real questions 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.960 that I think you should have answered. Like we asked 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:55.160 about product liability, I mean the fact that a lot 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:59.279 of people are getting terrible side effects, including dying. UM. 0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:04.119 I asked about the efficacy of the of the acts. 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:05.800 I mean there was a point in time they said 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.679 it was a percent effective. Well, we know that's not true. UM. 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:13.159 I asked him about the fact that Fightser once paid 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.599 the largest fun in American history two point three billion 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.800 dollars for deceptive marketing, And I asked him about that 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.720 kind of misconduct here. Now, I'm not saying those are 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:26.760 easy questions. I think they're all legitimate questions. Given the 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.560 public nature of Viser, it really has big farmer and 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:33.919 big government merged during the pandemic. So I think he 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.039 owes us questions as any other public figure would. But 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.839 why didn't he just give me his corporate bladder, Like 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.400 why didn't he even just read? Like, surely he has 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:47.800 something to say about those questions. But the fact that 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.320 he chose not to say a single word, even his 0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.360 talking points that he would use with other journalists showed 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.880 I think a contempt for citizens who weren't part of 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:02.120 his approved jet set, and you know, part of me thought, well, 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.400 why am I still asking him questions if he's not 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.200 answering them. We we sort of walked with him through 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:10.800 the streets until he finally ducked into a hotel. And 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:14.360 I think in the end it showed that we asked 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.720 real questions that the regime media really hasn't asked him 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.640 in two years. So it was it was Albert Borla 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:24.240 on trial, but in a way it was also other 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:27.440 media on trial. Like I said, he had just come 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:32.719 from an official UH interview at Davos, but of course 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:35.800 they never asked him questions like that. So I think 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.400 Albert Borla has a lot of answering to do. Fiser 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.000 has a lot of answering to do. But the media, 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:44.440 who gave him nothing but softballs for two years, they 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:46.599 have a lot of answering to do. Also, well you 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.279 know what they do. And of course, I mean they've 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.159 made so much money off of this. I mean, their 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.599 company's profits triple. He was making something he makes, you know, 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:58.160 tens of millions of dollars in salary, and he you know, 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.320 a lot of people ended up getting the vaccine because 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.240 they were told these things, you know, they were told 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.360 about its efficacy, they were told that it was hunder 0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:08.960 percent effective. They were told these things that ended up 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.040 not being true, and they're shielded from liability in so 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.280 many of these instances. You know, they are here in America. 0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:17.480 And so I appreciate you guys trying to hold his 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.480 feet to the fire. You know, he deserves to beyond 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.120 the receiving end of that after you know, essentially forcing 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.560 this vaccine upon so many people, being dishonest about it, 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.160 and then now we're saying that it's harming so many people. 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:33.280 Remember the rationale for the vaccine mandates, and they were 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:37.160 particularly punitive up here in Canada. They weren't quite as 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:42.280 bad in the States, although a lot of public sector workers, military, police, 0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:49.680 fire teachers had vaccine mandates. Airlines in Canada, private citizens 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:54.720 were not even allowed on domestic flights if you weren't vaxed. 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.720 So the second largest country in the world, Canada, you 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.960 were not allowed to fly even within your own country 0:08:00.000 --> 0:08:03.280 as a citizen if you weren't vacced. So these vaccine passports, 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.840 these vaccine mandates, many people losing their jobs, are being 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.200 banned from public places. They were all premised on the 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:15.360 idea that the vaccine stopped you from transmitting the disease. 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.240 As in, if you said, well, I'm willing to risk 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:21.840 my own health by not having the vaccine, that's a 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:26.000 libertarian choice, that's a personal choice. The answer by the 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:30.120 state was always, well, you'll harm other people. You must 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:34.360 take the vaccine to stop transmission. And that's why that 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.680 was such an important question for me to ask Albert 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:41.199 Brula because he knew that the vaccine didn't stop transmission. 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:44.640 He didn't say that, and you know, for a year 0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:49.040 because he loved these vaccine mandates. What better way to 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.760 sell a product than to have it forced on people 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.360 on pain of them losing their jobs. But he knew 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:59.280 the entire premise was false, but he didn't care because 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:02.000 he's got that because he's got that private chet and 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:04.800 he's a salesman. He's not he's not even a medical doctor, 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.440 by the way. He's a veterinarian, which is odd. But 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:14.800 he became extremely wealthy personally. Feiser became an incredibly profitable 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:19.040 company based on the fact that no one asked him 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:23.600 tough questions and how many people out there were forced 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.760 to take the job to keep their jobs or lost 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.679 their jobs because they stood on principle, this guy has 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.320 a lot of answering to do that. I did not 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:34.800 get it and made that very publicly known. And the 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.600 only reason I had ever contemplated getting it, because I 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.120 was never at risk, was because of that whole Oh 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.800 you want to protect the people you love. And then 0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:46.560 when I started seeing all these quote unquote breakthrough cases happening, 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.360 I was sort of, you know, put two and two 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:51.760 together and realized that it wasn't stopping the spread, you know, 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:54.720 and then ultimately said, you know, I you too, you know, 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.880 Joe Biden and all these people trying to force it 0:09:56.920 --> 0:09:59.920 on me. Take a quick commercial break more with Ezra Levant. 0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:04.880 Did you watch I don't know if you saw the 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:10.679 Project Veritas video recently with the fiser's director of research 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.840 and development talking about how their thought process is potentially 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.800 mutating the vire has. Let's play that. I want to 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.040 get your thoughts, and then we'll move on to Greta 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:24.839 Fightser ultimately is thinking about mutating COVID. Well, that is 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.400 not at least say to the public, know that was 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.840 only one building. You have a public have publish talk 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.640 about we're exploring like no, you know, the virus chose commutating. Yeah, well, 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:34.839 one of the things we're exploring it is like why 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.479 don't we just mutating art so we could work only 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.880 development vaccines, right, So we have to do that and 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.680 we're going to do that, though there's a risk, like 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.040 as you could imagine, no one wants to be having 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.600 a pharmer company dings. It could be like very controlled 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.439 to make sure that those virus and you you take 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.400 it create something like itsells everywhere, something crazy. Just the 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.679 way that the virus started moving on to be honest, 0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.120 like it would be no sense of because I was 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.760 talked out of nowhere, like yeah, I charch director of 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.679 Research and Development, Strategic Operations and the m R and 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:09.400 Day Scientific Planner talking about a potential desire to mutate 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.400 the virus. I mean, we're sort of in this weird 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.800 realm now where there's just such a loss of faith 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:17.959 in government, in public health and all of it. And 0:11:18.280 --> 0:11:21.439 why can we trust them when you have people like 0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.200 him saying this when he thinks he's behind the scenes, 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:27.880 he thinks he's in private. Yeah, I saw that it. 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:32.520 I think it's the most stunning revelation that Project Veritas 0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.120 has done in years, and I deeply admire Project very 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.360 Tasks and James O'Keeffe, and they certainly look like they've 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.400 done their homework here. But I have to say, it's 0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:44.920 such an insane thing to say, such an such a 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:49.120 doctor evil like Bond villain thing to say that. Part 0:11:49.160 --> 0:11:53.120 of me is thinking, surely that guy was just was 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:59.400 just talking like a fabulous Surely he was indulging in 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.640 in some fiction. Because I, although I completely trust James 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:08.120 O'Keefe and Project VeriTest, that is so insane, part of 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:11.080 me thinks I just can't believe it. It's too crazy. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:14.400 I don't know. Maybe maybe I uh, I just can't 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.720 even believe how insane that is. If that's true, we 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.480 are in deep trouble, pretty dark these days. Was just 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.280 watching uh you know, the way that these people behave. 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.040 And then also just from the fact that you know 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.439 COVID is obviously COVID from gain of function having been 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:34.160 released from Wuhan. Obviously you know they were working on 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.000 bat coronavirus is it escapes, So it's sort of how 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.679 this all originated to begin with. So you would think 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.120 it's ill advised to continue trying to play god with 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.680 these things. Particularly if it's for profit. You know, you 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.240 had also had time, You guys were able to find 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.360 Greta Thunberg as well. Let's play this clip and then 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.319 I want to talk to you about the exchange and 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.080 what you learned from it afterwards. Kind of would you 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.760 say you're a child actor? Are you a child actor 0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:04.280 or expert? How would you describe yourself? How can we 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:09.800 never protest Saudi Arabia or Russia? You only protest Western energy? 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:14.680 Why have you never criticized bloatom and Putin or OPEC? Yeah, 0:13:14.760 --> 0:13:17.360 I've never done that. Never will you do so? Now? 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:23.079 Will you condemn OPEC energy? Sorry? Why doesn't she, you know, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.720 condemn Saudi Arabia or Russia? Why is it always these 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:30.960 the Western nations? Yeah? I mean, if you take progressives 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:34.319 at face value, the reason they care about the way 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.200 energy is made is because of their liberal values. They 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.480 they're worried about environmental responsibility. They're worried that oil profits 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:45.040 will be used for violence, either war or terrorism. They 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.760 say they care about workers, are they being well paid? 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.959 And finally they say they care about human rights? Civil rights? 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.040 How do you treat minorities? How do you treat women 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:56.360 and gay people and indigenous people. So if those are 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:02.120 your progressive values, environmental responsibility, peace, the treatment of workers, 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:07.400 and civil liberties, you would naturally favor oil made in 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.760 ethical jurisdictions like the United States and Canada and the 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:16.160 North Sea and places like that. You would favor ethical 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:24.400 oil over conflict oil from places like Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, etcetera. So, 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.440 until we don't need oil anymore, and by the way, 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:29.800 we're gonna need it for the foreseeable future. But until 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.840 that happy day comes where we don't need oil anymore, 0:14:33.240 --> 0:14:36.240 you're gonna have to get it from somewhere. And they 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:41.120 don't make oil in Switzerland or Belgium or the chocolate 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.920 making superpowers, you know. I mean, those are wonderful little countries. 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:45.480 But I don't know what God was thinking when he 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:48.120 gave out oil, But he gave it to all the 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:54.920 world's bastards. Why does Greta only condemn energy in the West, 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:58.240 in the free democracies? Why does she never not even 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:05.520 rhetorically criticized conflict oil? And I asked her another question, Um, 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.720 I mean, there are so many questions that we put 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:12.000 almost a hundred to her. I mean, really, how would 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:14.800 what she say be any different of what Vladimir Putin 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.520 would say? Actually asked that of another protester, like if 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:22.280 if Vladimir Putin had his way, Greta would only criticize 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.920 ethical oil and never criticize Russian oil, because that's really 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.600 Putin's weapon, it's the oil weapon. That's how he can 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:34.200 inform his invasion of Ukraine is oil and gas. So 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:37.440 it just seems odd to me that Greta only criticizes 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.560 our oil. And that's why I asked her, are you 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.080 an expert? Are you just a child actor? Let me 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:44.000 say one more thing least, this is very important to know. 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:48.880 Greta Tundberg looks like a little girl, but she's twenty. 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.600 She's twenty years old now she I think she's maybe 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:57.200 developmentally arrested or something, because she really is extremely short 0:15:57.240 --> 0:15:59.680 and she looks like a twelve year old. And I 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.880 think it's been the source of her power. She looks 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:05.320 like a an old Testament prophet, like a child prophet, 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.840 you know, condemning us and warning us. I really actually, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:12.560 in the course of our twenty minute interview with her, 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:17.200 she giggled probably thirty times instead of answering. She gave 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:20.680 sarcastic answers. I don't think she gave one serious answer. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:24.600 I came away from my time with Greta thinking she's 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.520 either completely ignorant, which you might expect from a high 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.440 school dropout. That was her whole thing, striking in high school. 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.760 Don't go to school kids, let's go on a school strike, 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:38.400 or she's just a puppet for some other force. I 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:42.600 asked her who her pr agency was. She didn't give 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.080 me a straight answer. She said, I wish I had one. Well, 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:48.560 we sort of know she does have one, So I 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:52.280 in conclusion, I think that Greta Tunberg is sort of 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:56.400 an empty vessel, like an actor who reads lines given 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.920 to her by someone who wrote the script. She's twenty 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.400 years old, so she's not a baby, but she's not 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.879 a scholar. She's not that well informed. She just reached 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.840 her lines, and for that twenty minutes we were with her, 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:13.119 she didn't have her lines handy exchange and the questions 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.000 that were asked to her. And I got the same 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:18.159 impression as you did in the sense of and what's sad, though, 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.320 is that this is someone who is treated as a 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:22.920 serious person. I mean this is someone who has access 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.280 to world leaders. This is someone who is purported to 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.440 be an expert by the media. And when you watch 0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.720 the exchange with her, which is probably why she doesn't 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:36.440 ever do any oppositional interviews, there was no substance there. 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.439 She she knew nothing to your point, she was an 0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:43.399 empty vessel. But she's shaping world policy. It's like you know, 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.960 and that's the thing. She's got to pick a lane. Uh. 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:51.920 I mean, either she is an authoritative source of information 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.920 and argument who must be listened to by the United Nations, 0:17:56.040 --> 0:18:00.240 by presidents and even by royalty. Either she is that 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.000 authoritative and we must hang on her every word, or 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.840 she's just a young person, as she said to us 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:09.840 with giggles, saying, oh ha, I don't take anything seriously, 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:12.880 So you can't keep switching from one foot to the other, 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.960 depending on if you want to be serious or not. 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.480 Um And there was an amazing thing that happened. It 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.439 wasn't just rebel news reporters. We had three reporters on 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.560 our team rotating asking her questions, but there were a 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:29.400 couple of reporters from the regime media who were along too, 0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:31.560 and they had a few questions which I thought were 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:34.800 very weak. One of them was, Greta, how's your trip 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:37.679 to Dabos going so far? Okay, that's not exactly an 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:40.840 accountability question. Another one said, hey, are you going to 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.320 have any protests while year? Okay, that's sort of interesting, 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:47.159 but you've got Greta Tunberg and and that's what you're 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.040 gonna ask her. Like it was so weak, And after 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:53.960 a while, these other regime journalists, they were irritated by 0:18:53.960 --> 0:19:01.199 our accountability style questions. They started answering our questions for Greta. 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.160 One of my colleagues said, Greta, who are your advisors? 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.160 Who do you take your guidance from? That's a really 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:09.400 good question, by the way, because she's only a twenty 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.439 year old young woman, and she didn't have a good answer, 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:18.120 so other journalists piped up and answered for her. There 0:19:18.200 --> 0:19:22.600 was a moment when other journalists told us to shut up, 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.440 called us stupid or idiots, and by the way, maybe 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:29.920 we are stupid and maybe we are idiots, but isn't 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:32.919 that for Gretta to say? And by the way, she 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.320 didn't say that. She thanked us at the end of 0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.320 the interview, which was sort of courteous of her. But 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:41.600 one of the most interesting things, and this relates to 0:19:41.640 --> 0:19:45.320 my point about Albert Burlap. No one ever asked that 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.720 Albert Burla, the CEO of fies her a tough question 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:49.720 in his life, and then we hit him with twenty 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:52.440 nine and them and it had him. Really, I don't 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.800 think Greta has ever had a adversarial interview in her life. 0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.760 She didn't really know what to do. But the other media, uh, 0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.199 they actually did know what to do. Their job was 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.800 run interference for Greta. They were not there as journalists. 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:12.280 They were there as magnifiers and propagators and um narrative 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:16.080 boosters for Greta. It was really revealing. Again, I learned 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.520 as much about the media as I learned about Greta 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:21.479 Economic Forum and what you're sort of underscoring and making 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.400 these points is that they were part of this protected class. 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:26.760 And it doesn't that kind of get to the heart 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.439 of the World Economic Forum, that it's this group of 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.800 elites who believe that they know better than us, They 0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.320 believe they know better than the average citizen, and they 0:20:34.320 --> 0:20:36.720 want to be the ones dictating and controlling how we 0:20:36.800 --> 0:20:39.960 live our lives. Oh yeah, I mean I heard about 0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:42.440 the private jets, and so we actually went to a 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:47.760 private jet airstrip UH called Alterheim, which is nothing but 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:52.360 private jets. No commercial jets fly there. Every ten minutes 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:56.560 another private plane landed with a W E F delegate 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:01.000 and then they went into a quickly went into a 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:05.600 helicopter to take them the last UH leg of the journey, 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.639 and then they got into a black suv with tinted 0:21:08.680 --> 0:21:11.560 windows to drive them where they were going. So private 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.520 jet to alter him, helicopter to Davos, and then black 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:20.640 tinted window suv. There were a few green vehicles. There 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:24.360 were a few Tesla's there that Uber had as sort 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:28.440 of a promotional stick. Hey we're Uber, check out Uber Green. 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:31.560 But it was just a fun thing, like a like 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:35.879 a promotion. Every v I p at Davos was getting 0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:42.520 around in big black tinted window Mega SUVs and there 0:21:42.560 --> 0:21:46.600 were I heard there were one thousand private jet flights 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:49.080 into alter Had. I believe it. When I was there, 0:21:49.119 --> 0:21:53.760 it was literally every ten minutes another jet came um. 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:55.639 And the reason I tell you this is not that 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.679 I'm anti jet or that I'm anti prosperity, or that 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:00.679 I don't think people should be able to get rich. 0:22:00.760 --> 0:22:03.919 I think all those things are fine, but these people 0:22:04.800 --> 0:22:07.639 are the ones who say to you, not only should 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:10.760 you not fly, you should drive less. You should heat 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.000 your house less. You shouldn't eat meat because it's too 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:17.840 carbon intensive, you should eat synthetic meat, or even bugs. 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:22.560 And as that famous W. E. F. Slogan goes, you'll 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:26.600 own nothing and you'll be happy. So how can you 0:22:26.680 --> 0:22:30.280 be a private jet center and then say, oh, you 0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:33.760 little people, you peasants, should eat bugs. By the way, 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:37.199 one of our reporters bumped into John Kerry, the former 0:22:37.359 --> 0:22:41.600 Secretary State who is now Biden's Climate envoy, him and 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:44.320 asked him how he could fly there on a private jet, 0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:46.760 and John Kerry looked him right in the eye and said, 0:22:47.280 --> 0:22:52.000 I fly exclusively commercial. Well, we know that's not true. 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.280 I mean, unless he just decided that that morning. We 0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:59.240 know that John Kerry has flown probably on more private 0:22:59.280 --> 0:23:02.240 jets than any and other than I supposed to President 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:05.800 of the United States. But obviously he's sensitive to that 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:10.120 charge of hypocrisy. You should never take advice from people 0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:12.800 who are doing the exact opposite. And this was a 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:19.240 meeting of billionaires and oligarchs. Alex Soros was there um. 0:23:19.280 --> 0:23:22.840
