WEBVTT - The Truth with Lisa Boothe: Controligarchs with Seamus Bruner 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.560 When you look at the Soros family and the impact 0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:07.440 they've had on our elections, getting liberal prosecutors elected to power, 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:10.799 and the increase in crime we've seen as a result. 0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.080 Or the World Economic Forum and Claus Schwab and its 0:00:14.160 --> 0:00:17.320 desire for us to own nothing and to be happy. 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:22.639 Or Bill Gates buying up America's farmland, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.800 all of these individuals who have an outsized role in 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.480 shaping our society and shaping the world. 0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.440 That we live in. But how much control do they have. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.440 We're going to talk to Shamus Brunner, who is the 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:38.640 author of a new book called Control O Garchs, exposing 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:41.880 the billionaire class, their secret deals, and the globalist plot 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:45.760 to dominate your life. Just how much control these people have, 0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.520 and even some things that you wouldn't even think about 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.360 in the ways that they're trying to control us. Shamus 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:54.720 Bruner is also the director of research at the Government 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.440 Accountability Institute. He's worked with Peter Schweizer over the years 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.880 to bring a lot of investigations to light to call 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:06.240 out corruption in both government and the private sector as well. 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:08.880 So stay tuned for this interview about his new book, 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:18.800 Control of Arcs. Well, Seamus, I met you at a 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.880 Heritage event a few months ago and you were telling 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.440 me about your book, and I was like, I've got 0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.280 to get you on and look at us following through. 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:31.320 So awesome, It's so awesome. I'm excited. This is a 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:32.800 podcast I love to listen to. 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.480 Well that means a lot. I really appreciate it, and 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:37.480 I'm so glad to have you on. This book just 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:40.679 seems so interesting. You and Peter Schweizer. You guys have 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:43.520 exposed a ton of corruption over the years through the 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.120 Government Accountability Institute as well as the best selling books 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.160 and the investigative work that you guys have been doing. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.200 I focus on the billionaire class. 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:53.720 Well, you know us, we follow the money. That's kind 0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.000 of our motto. We followed it to the Clinton's, to 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.360 the Bidens. I did a book on FBI corruption following 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:03.600 James co Me and Robert Muller's money, and now we 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.520 decided to follow it all the way to the top, 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.519 to the globalist elites. And what we found is really 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.760 shocking stuff. I mean, for the first time ever, we 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:14.480 crunched the numbers and found, you know how each of 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:16.520 the characters on the cover of the book, and about 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.960 twenty others added tens of billions of dollars to their 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.680 personal net worth over the course of the pandemic. And 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.480 that may not surprise the savvy listeners of your show, 0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.520 But what really blew us away is how they sort 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:34.400 of leveraged the pandemic as a quote opportunity not only 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:38.079 to get rich, but to seize control of key industries 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:41.480 that dominate our lives. And we're not against making money, 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.760 of course, we're all capitalists. You know, there's plenty of 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.120 good billionaires out there, but these guys really want to 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:51.200 use their money and leverage the power of government to 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.880 change your behavior and control you. Yeah. 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.680 I mean, look, I'd love to be a billionaire. I'm 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.240 not going to lie. But you know that big set. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:01.359 You know, you look at a lot of the damage 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.040 these guys have done, and you focus on folks like 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.160 Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, the Soros, Klass Schwab, 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:09.480 you know a lot of these individuals. 0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.640 We talk a lot about if. 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.320 You had to pick one, who's the worst offender, and why. 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.960 It's so hard when you've got George Soros, Bill Gates, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.040 and Klaus Schwab. I usually choose those three out of 0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:23.360 the five. Mark Zuckerberg and Jeff Bezos do have a 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.880 bit of a more libertarian bent, although that is eroded 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:30.720 over the years. George Sorows is just, you know, the 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.400 villain that everybody knows and has heard much about his 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.240 son Alexander. So we weren't sure that George Soros was 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.800 going to make it through publication, and there was questions 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.440 of whether we should put him on the cover. He's 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.200 ninety three years old and not looking so good. But 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.400 his son Alexander, So we tracked down all five of 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.080 his children and found that actually each is more radical 0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:56.400 than he is. And Alexander Soros, who's taken over the 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.400 sort of dark money empire, this twenty five billion dollar 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:03.920 mount and of philanthropic cash, is much more radical than 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.000 his father. So I think he's certainly one to look 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.360 out for. Bill Gates, of course. I mean, he was 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:13.920 always this cutthroat monopolist software salesman, and then once the 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.240 DOJ started looking into Microsoft and the famous anti trust 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:22.320 suit was opened up, that's when he became a philanthropist. 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:23.880 And now all of a sudden he's a darling of 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:25.680 the left. I mean the left didn't used to love 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:29.320 Bill Gates at all, but the things that he's pouring 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.200 his money into is really, really, you know, some creepy stuff. 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.640 And then klaud Schwab, I would say, I mean, he 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.920 doesn't have the power of Bill Gates in America, but 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.520 globally he certainly does. And what he represents is, you 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:47.400 know this, He's this frontman for this group of people 0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:50.000 I call the control of Arcs and the things coming 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:56.320 out of Davos are truly terrifying. So that's probably how 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.880 I'd rank them. Cloud's at the top, only because he 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.279 represents the rest of them. Bill Gates right up there 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:07.799 with him and Soros and his offspring right below Gates. 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:12.200 You talked about Bill Gates investing in some very creepy stuff. 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.159 We know he's also buying up America's farmland. You know, 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.960 first of all, get into the creepy stuff you're talking about, 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.279 and then also why is he buying up America's farmland. 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:27.360 There's a tactic that Bill Gates used, or Microsoft used 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:32.600 that is what the Anti Trust Justice Department prosecutors looked into, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.920 and so it actually bears upon both the farmland but 0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.000 all of the other stuff he has used this tactic 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:44.960 called embrace, extend, extinguish, where he enters the sector, you know, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.520 acts like he's not making too many waves. He extends 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:52.640 his reach within that sector, and then he extinguishes the competition. 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.680 And so I mean you just you saw this in 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.760 the pandemic. I mean he enters this glo the global 0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.800 health industry. I mean he's a software guy. What does 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.359 he know about health? He's certainly not a doctor, not 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:06.960 a scientist. He expands his reach. This happens through the 0:06:07.000 --> 0:06:11.600 two thousands. I mean he's funded doctor Fauci programs, doctor 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.600 Burke's programs. He really bought his way in by sending 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.680 money to NIH studies and stuff like that. I mean, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.280 three billion dollars is how much we found he had 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.520 sent towards Fauci and Burks before the pandemic and their priorities. 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:30.599 And then he's the one who's authoring the pandemic policies, 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.840 things like lockdowns and masks and things that we know 0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:38.000 now and many of us knew then didn't work. He's 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:42.480 got a very close relationship with communist China. He's helped 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:47.960 the Chinese censor their own citizens using Microsoft software and 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:52.360 skype et cetera and outed dissident journalists. So he's got 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:58.600 this real proclivity towards the Chinese. And it's not just commercial. 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.599 I think hekind of craves the power that communism provides. 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.200 Of course, we get into the the GMO mosquitos that 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.080 he's released all over the country. I mean, it started 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:15.720 in Florida, in California. Wants to release them everywhere. Not 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.160 a scientist, but not sure genetically modified mosquitos is a 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.800 good idea. He spent over ninety million dollars doing that. 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:24.560 What's the goal with that? 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:29.040 The goal is to eradicate mosquitoes, because mosquitos are actually 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.200 the most deadly animal. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.080 What's the real goal? Is there something more nefarious than that? 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.600 It's more I don't you know, I don't say that. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.720 I'm not saying that there's a more nefarious goal other 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:43.120 than eradicating mosquitoes. However, you know a lot of things 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:45.800 could go wrong when you start messing with you know, 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.880 the food chain, and next thing you know, you know, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.800 he has cascading ripple effects. So the fact that he's 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.000 able to do this without any and that's kind of 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.320 the theme of the book is did anybody get to 0:07:56.360 --> 0:08:00.280 vote on this no. And Bill Gates is unelected for 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:03.960 he is unaccountable. And that's that's a big problem, is 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:10.920 these unelected billionaires and bureaucrats authoring our policies without any 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.800 sort of recourse for we the people. Additionally, you know, 0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:17.480 he's got he's the one who helped get the Inflation 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.360 Reduction Act passed. There's a piece in Bloomberg that you know, 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:25.720 leaked communications probably from Senator Mansion staff saying that Bill 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.760 Gate calls up the Mansion and kind of threatens him. 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:32.080 And he's he's not a registered lobbyist, he doesn't have 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.000 to register as a lobbyist, but he's able to kind 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:39.000 of exert this undemocratic pressure over lawmakers to get things 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:41.880 like the Inflation Reduction Act pass Now, why would he 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.439 do that. There's four hundred plus billion dollars carved out 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.720 in the Inflation Reduction Act to go to green energy 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.720 priorities and you know so called green energy priorities. He's 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.480 got this nuclear power company called Tarror Power that's gotten 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.360 at least one hundred million dollars in tax payasists. That's 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.760 another thing we talk about is, you know, why do 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.720 we need to be giving welfare to oligarchs. 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.040 And then what about the farmland. What do you think 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:09.080 the objective is there? 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:13.199 So using this embrace and in like the the extinguished phase. 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:15.760 You know, I mentioned it with with global health and 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.479 how he kind of bought his way into that industry 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:23.600 and then I'll expanded his region extinguished. The competition. The 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.160 competition is generics. In the case of healthcare, I mean 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.120 generic medications. You know they Why would he put like, 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:34.240 you know, why would he diss or pooh pooh things 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:38.680 like zinc or vitamin C in favor of things like 0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:45.200 regeneron or you know, the other patented pharmaceutical products. And 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.680 that's that's what you saw with Microsoft, and that's what 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:52.120 you'll see in the food industry is the the the 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.400 industries that Bill Gates wants to control. He actually owns 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:59.760 and has large investments in these patented technologies. And so 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:04.360 with food and with agriculture, he owns large chunks of 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:08.400 the fake meat, you know, things like beyond meat, impossible foods. 0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:11.880 He's also owns a large chunk of these new synthetic 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:16.200 patented fertilizers. And so once he's secured investments in the 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:20.440 patented technology and he's expanded his reach far enough within 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.040 an industry. That's when he comes in and exerts the 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:28.120 pressure over the politicians to do things like ban certain 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.720 types of fertilizers which would be his competition, and ban 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.839 you know, types of meat. So I meane Alexandria Acasio 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:40.680 Cortes when she starts scriping about cal flatulence and you 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:44.240 know how that's going to end the earth, she doesn't 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.520 get these ideas and she didn't just make up this idea, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.800 and a lot of politicians talk about, you know how 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.640 cattle are terrible. I mean, Ireland is actually a little 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.199 further ahead than the United States and their efforts to 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:58.400 ban cattle. They're going to be sending anywhere from forty 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:02.560 thousand to two hundred thousd and cows to slaughter on 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:07.040 the altar of climate change that just so happens to 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:11.000 benefit people like Bill Gates's investments in these alternative proteins. 0:11:11.040 --> 0:11:12.920 Do you think Peter would be a little bit upset 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:13.800 about that? 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:18.400 Seriously, although they'll probably be silent because it's you know, 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:23.360 leftists doing it. You know, the Soros family, clearly, I 0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:27.199 don't know if I mean any other family has done 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:31.680 more damage to America in like modern history. They've done 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:35.280 this through elections, you know, even more localized elections, like 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:39.400 liberal prosecutors. The amount of crime that they've increased. What 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.280 motivates them to want to destroy so much? You know, 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:45.959 what did you learn about them? What should people know? 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:49.400 Why are they so invested in destroying America? 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.560 Sure so, George Soros. I mean many of your listeners 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.360 have probably heard that his network is called the Open 0:11:56.440 --> 0:12:00.000 Society Network, and that term open society it comes from 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:04.320 his mentor, Carl Popper. And the idea behind an open 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:09.040 society is that there are no borders. And so that's 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.520 you know, you see the erosion of our border. That's 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.240 a huge source. Priority is to eliminate the border. There's 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:19.600 not strong you know, strong countries, the United States being 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:22.320 the strongest. They don't want a strong United States. They 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:25.600 want this multipolar world of kind of like everybody, you know, 0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:29.000 all globalists. And so I totally agree with you that 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:33.080 he has done probably the most damage, certainly being the 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.360 oldest on the cover there and he's been at it 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.160 for a long time. And the problem is is that 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.280 his his offspring are just as radical, if not more 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.160 radical than he is. They're not just I mean they've 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.320 already placed their thumbs on the scales for twenty twenty four. 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.040 You've got all of the you know, the prosecutors who 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.360 are trumping up these charges and like against a political opponent, 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.920 but then also the efforts to remove Donald Trump from 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.240 the ballot across the county. This is being pushed by 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.800 an organization called Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:10.360 CREW that's a Soros funded organization. And he always names 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.120 I mean, he's really good at naming his uh dark 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:20.960 money network organizations like the Democracy Initiative or Open Society Initiative, 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.840 and they sound really good. The only problem is is 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.280 Soros is unelected and so we have no way of 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:33.199 pushing back against his influence. And it's you know, that's 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.040 not very democratic at all. And something we get into 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.720 too is, you know, he's funding the prosecutors, which that's 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.480 just uh, you know, these are these these are tiny 0:13:42.559 --> 0:13:44.640 races where you know, it doesn't cost a lot of 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:48.440 money to buy the race. Local sheriffs are next. I mean, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:49.960 he's now funding local sheriffs. 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.280 It's pretty terrifying. Let's take a quick commercial break. More 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:58.720 on control of arcs. On the other side. Why do 0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:01.920 you think the left and brain globalism so much? You know, what, 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.719 do these billionaires want globalism? Why does the left want globalism? 0:14:06.040 --> 0:14:07.000 What's the aim of it? 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:09.640 Well, that's a great question, and it's talked about a 0:14:09.720 --> 0:14:14.240 lot in the book. How there are these Well, so 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:17.480 chapter one gets into this organization called the Club of Rome, 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.000 and it's really the precursor to Davos in the World 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:24.760 Economic Forum. They're very tight with the United Nations and 0:14:24.880 --> 0:14:28.720 with you know, reading through their thousands of pages of manifestos, 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:31.840 you kind of come to the realization that there are 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.360 these problems and crises, and in every crisis there's a 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.680 huge opportunity for them. Of course, there are these problems 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.800 in crises that are just too big for anyone country 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.240 to solve, and so that's why they these kind of 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:50.640 plutocrats who are again not elected, get together in places 0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:54.480 like Davos, but also like Aspen and very very fancy places, 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:59.680 and they get together and brainstorm how they can use 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:04.240 tag payer resources to solve crises, things like climate change, 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.840 things like global pandemics. I mean, back in the sixties 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:10.000 when a lot of these organizations were getting started, the 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:13.400 big problem was overpopulation and They certainly still to this day, 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:19.600 think that there's too many peasants on planet Earth, you know, 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:22.760 using up their resources in air. So Bill Gates is 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.320 a big overpopulation type guy, and the way they want 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.240 to bring it down is largely through lowering the birth rate. 0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.040 They've they've done a pretty good job. I feel like 0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:35.040 they should take take a victory lap because birth rates 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.000 are at sixty year lows. 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:38.560 Now are these crises? 0:15:38.600 --> 0:15:42.120 Are these manufactured crises? When you talk about climate change 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.920 and COVID which ended up being as deadly as the flu. 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.120 Well, when you read through like this organization is a 0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:50.400 very it's not well known, the Club of Rome, but 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:52.440 I would encourage people to go read some of the 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.520 Club of Rome's reports. They're still you know, cranking out 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.760 reports to this day. Their first, their first big production 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.440 was called the Limits to Growth, and that was like, 0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:07.200 how the Earth is overpopulated. We really need to you know, 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:09.560 a lot of these people think a billion people now. 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:11.040 They never tell you how they want to get to 0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:14.200 a billion people. They think that's like the ideal planetary size. 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.040 They don't, you know, they don't tell you how they 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.760 want to get to it. I don't allege that there's 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:21.240 like some large genocide going on or anything like that. 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:25.240 But the thing that they openly talk about is just 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.080 lowering birth rates. That was the first crisis, is this 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.280 crisis of overpopulation. I think they realized because you can 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:34.120 kind of see over time, you know, report after report 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.360 each year that comes out. What grew out of the 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:41.080 overpopulation was global cooling. Well, the Earth is going to freeze. 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:44.880 I mean this is now into the seventies, and these 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:46.560 are the people who are authoring things that where you 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.120 eventually arrive at climate change. The thing about climate change 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:51.560 that's so perfect. I mean they got to global warming. 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:54.840 There was holes in the ozone layer and you know 0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:58.000 every year the or you know every year they're like ten, 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:00.600 in ten years, the Earth is going to end if 0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:02.360 we don't do something about it. And then you get 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.360 to that ten years, like well wait a second's like no, no, no, 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.520 it's ten it's ten more years ahead. I mean, like 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.320 Greta Thunberg said twenty twenty three would be the year 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.720 that the Earth would end back in twenty sixteen. 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:14.800 She had to delete that. 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:16.520 Tee had to delete the tweet. So they all and 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:18.760 they kind of they kind of just they paper over 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:22.280 their past predictions, but there's like fifty to sixty years 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:26.800 of failed predictions. And this is why the pandemic was 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:30.320 such a aga, in Klaus Schwab's words, great opportunity. I mean, 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.280 they said, there's there's some great clips I wish I'll 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.040 send them to you of people at the World Economic 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:39.679 Forum saying climate changes doesn't really scare people enough. So 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.360 that's why the pandemic has been such a great opportunity 0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:46.360 because it's actually real. It's not you know, this hypothetical 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:51.320 ten year away event. And so that and so the 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.200 great reset is you know, talked about extensively in the book. 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:58.280 I mean, Klaus Schwab got up in July of twenty 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.040 twenty and said, this pandemic is a great opportunity for 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:07.280 a reset, a great reset of capitalism, of rebuilding ours, 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.000 you know, we build back better in a greener way. 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:11.679 And everybody, you know, if you saw that clip, you 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.400 were kind of wondering, in the middle of a pandemic, 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:15.680 when you're lockdown and wearing a mask, what the heck 0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:18.119 does a virus have to do with climate change? And 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:22.480 we're we're starting to see that they as they rebuild 0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.320 and build back better and these infrastructure bills, they're pouring 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.800 hundreds of billions, actually over a trillion dollars is going 0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:34.320 into like saving the planet, which is such an ambitious goal, 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:39.320 but it's it's really a heist of taxpayer money. And 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:44.239 what is it building. It's building these climate friendly you know, 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:48.560 programs and initiatives. Then really actually aren't all that climate friendly. 0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:51.159 I mean you look at the fake meats, which is 0:18:51.200 --> 0:18:53.720 all done to save the planet, you know, climate change. 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:56.240 The fake meats use more you know, growing meats in 0:18:56.280 --> 0:19:01.280 a lab uses more carbon than cattle emit method, so 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:04.639 it's that's not greener than the tried and true method 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:08.960 of just growing beef. Same thing with the electric vehicles, 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.040 I mean, the batteries and just like the number of 0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.360 elements and materials that go into the production of electric 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:20.840 vehicle is ultimately more carbon emitting than a gas powered 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.560 vehicle would emit in its lifetime. And so then if 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.440 it's not about saving the planet, what is it about? 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.520 And you kind of can see, I mean, just you know, 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.879 have your listeners. Imagine a scenario. You wake up in 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:34.480 the middle of the night, it's in the middle of 0:19:34.520 --> 0:19:36.680 the summer, it's a it's a heat wave and you're 0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:40.240 drenched in sweat. So you go to your thermostat and 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:44.440 you try to turn the temperature down and you can't. 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.639 You've been locked out. You don't have control over the 0:19:46.920 --> 0:19:50.600 temperature in your home. That sounds maybe a conspiracy, like 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:54.600 a conspiracy conspiracy theory. It's it's not. As the residence 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:59.040 in Denver, Colorado, in California, and in Texas, they've all 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.200 experienced this area where they signed up for the new 0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.720 smart thermostat, they didn't realize when they checked the box. 0:20:06.119 --> 0:20:09.639 I agree that they were agreeing to have their smart 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:14.880 thermostat remotely controlled based on you know, the energy consumption 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:16.879 of their city. This is kind of what the smart 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:20.760 cities are all about. This is this technology that Gates 0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:25.240 is funding, invested in, built, Jeff Bezos with Amazon, and 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:27.560 you know a bunch of other characters in the book. 0:20:27.880 --> 0:20:30.400 Well, and it also pushes us, you know, for instance, 0:20:30.400 --> 0:20:33.480 with electric vehicles, I think it's just so that people 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.800 stop owning private car ownership, you know, to to reduce 0:20:37.960 --> 0:20:41.080 that because you know, there there are questions about if 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.720 the electrical grid could even support this vast expansion to 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.600 electric vehicles, if there's even enough raw materials, and so 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:49.800 I think the end goal is so that we don't 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:53.160 have private you know, car ownership, right, And that's part 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.120 of what you know, Klaus Schwab and the World Economic 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:57.880 Forum has been saying, is that, you know, they want 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:01.119 us to own nothing and be happy, be you know, 0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.360 talk about some examples. 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:05.800 About what they're encouraging to push us in that direction. 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.440 Yeah, certainly it sounds sort of like a threat. Actually 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.320 when you when you think a lot about it, like I. 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:12.320 Have, Yeah, like that's not going to make me happy, right, 0:21:12.359 --> 0:21:12.760 I could. 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:14.160 Tell you you will own nothing. 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.520 Luck, Yeah, with this biding economy, you're really already pushing 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:21.800 me in the you know, but like that will not 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:22.919 make me I promise you have. 0:21:23.160 --> 0:21:24.520 Well, the way to think about it is they want 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.359 to put a paywall around everything in your life that 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.600 you enjoy, and they want to make it a subscription 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:33.199 based everything you rent everything. They act like it's going 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:35.919 to be this utopia, But I mean, do you like 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.600 having to subscribe to a number? You know, like I 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.959 mean BMW's and Mercedes Now, like in order to have 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.040 your heated seats you need and to have maybe this 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:48.159 the safety sensors on the car, the features are in 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:51.280 the vehicle. You've paid for the vehicle, but in order 0:21:51.320 --> 0:21:53.720 to use those features, you've got to pay ten bucks 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:56.399 a month. If you want the remote start feature on 0:21:56.480 --> 0:22:00.280 your keyfob, that's an extra five bucks a month. And 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.760 this is something that Bill Gates actually really pioneered with. 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:04.560 It's like flying Spirit airlines. 0:22:05.280 --> 0:22:06.600 It really no, it really isn't. 0:22:07.640 --> 0:22:09.280 It's something you want to bring a carry on and 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:11.959 that's another hundred You're like, what the yeah? 0:22:12.000 --> 0:22:15.320 And you see it in every industry that's like highly consolidated. 0:22:15.320 --> 0:22:19.080 When the consumers don't have options and choices, then the 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:23.240
