Starting point is 00:00:00 Well, Del, it's 24. It's a very important year here in the United States. It's an election year, an important election year, and all around the world as well. And what year wouldn't be complete without an annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. And that is what's going on right now as we speak this entire week. And this is something that we're going to weave in through the entire report. We're going to use this as the backbone of the report and branch off and talk about a lot of aspects about this. So this is where global leaders meet under the auspices of a Klaus Schwab. And they, they really, just talk about policy and how they're going to move forward. These are political leaders. These are leaders in business and finance and climate change agendas, even medicine and health. And so let's look at some of the clips from this and dissect what was going on. So first of all, we're going to look at the current president of the European Commission. This is Ursula van der Leyen. Ursula, you may know her as an unelected official by the people, but you may know her from these headlines. This is out of Reuters during the COVID response. shortly signed world's largest vaccine deal with Pfizer. That was her. She was responsible for that
Starting point is 00:01:06 is 1.8 billion doses in 2021 and committing to, excuse me, committing to 900 million in 23, even though they didn't need them. So how did she do that? Did she sit down with all the members of the parliament and say, hey, what works best for your country? No, she did it in behind the scenes dealings and be a text message with Albert Borla of Pfizer. And when she got called out on it, they ask where these text messages were because the members of parliament for their own countries didn't even get to see this contract. So this was the headline here. EU's Vandulean can't find texts with Pfizer chief on vaccine deal. Oops, can't find them.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Sorry everybody. Just go ahead and we're part of this deal, but don't worry about what was talked about. So this is Ursula at Davos and see if you can pick up some interesting things she has to say. All right. For the global business community, the top concern for the next two years is not conflict or climate. It is disinformation and misinformation, followed closely by polarization within our societies. These risks are serious because they limit our ability to tackle the big global challenges we are facing. changes in our climate and our geopolitical climate,
Starting point is 00:02:33 shifts in our demography and in our technology, spiraling regional conflicts and intensify geopolitical competition and their impacts on supply chains. The sobering reality is that we are once again competing more intensely across countries than we have in several. decades. And this makes the theme of this year's Davos meeting even more relevant, rebuilding trust. I love the fact that their theme this year is rebuilding trust. Previous themes where it's
Starting point is 00:03:16 time to reset, the great reset, we're going to make the world a better place. Then she lists all the stuff that's now going wrong that the great reset caused and saying, and apparently we've lost trust with the world. And when she talks about misinformation and disinformation, Jeffrey, I'm looking at you. I think she's saying you are the biggest problem in the world today. So I don't know what you have to say about that. Well, it's interesting because misinformation used to be called conspiracy theories, but they kept coming true. So they put this like academic word, misinformation around that so they can get funding for it and open organizations. But what's interesting about that, the entire disinformation, right? The term disinformation, which is true
Starting point is 00:03:56 but is being used to make you not trust the people that are giving you the actual misinformation. So, I mean, it's an amazing spin on words that they're throwing in there. But you know what? I take pride in that fact. I take pride in the fact that we have been, you know, busting their, you know what's since they've been launching this great reset. I think that everyone out there in the audience, you should take a little bit of pride right now that the great reset did not come into full being.
Starting point is 00:04:24 We are not like walking around with vaccine passports. We're not being blocked from stores, though it is still on the docket. And clearly, they need to get back to that. But the only way they can get there is by reestablishing the trust they destroyed. Jeffrey, I take it as a personal mission to make sure that they never restore that trust ever again. The entire conference is rebuilding trust. Because remember, when Klaus Schwab said the coronavirus is the greatest opportunity to switch to the fourth industrial revolution, which is merging with machines, not owning property, all the stuff.
Starting point is 00:04:58 And so they jump full speed ahead. You know, most people were in panic mode, we're in fear, we're in a tragedy during this. He says, what a great opportunity. So they jumped, they showed who they were. People now see who they are, and now they have to work on rebuilding trust. This is a big step backwards for them and a victory for the people, in my opinion. So one of the people that was invited there was the newly elected Argentinian president. His name is Javier Mili.
Starting point is 00:05:21 Now, Javier, you remember these headlines. Notice something about these headlines. It says here, Argentine president election, far-right libertarian Javier Meeley wins after rival concedes. Pretty much anybody these days when it comes to winning an election that is not signed on to all the checkmark points of the WEF, it's going to be called far-right,
Starting point is 00:05:42 it's going to be called an anarchist. A lot of smearer words to this. But Javier gave a speech. Here's the opening part of his speech. Take a listen. All right. All you three. Today I'm here.
Starting point is 00:05:53 to tell you that the Western world is in danger. And it is in danger because those who are supposed to have to defend the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inextrably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty. Unfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals willing to help others and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged caste, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call
Starting point is 00:06:34 collectivism. We're here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world. Rather, they are the root cause. Do believe me, no one better place than us, Argentines, to testify to these two points. When we adopted the model of freedom back in 1860, in 35 years we became a leaning world power. And when we embraced collectivism over the course of the last 100 years, we saw how our citizens started to become systematically impoverous.
Starting point is 00:07:15 And we dropped to spot number 140 globally. It's like the closest they could get to having Ricky Jeremy. at the WEF. I mean, I love the fact that he's calling out the elitists in their, you know, elitist clubs, basically, and talking about collectivism, something that we discuss a lot. And, you know, we've had probably, you know, the godfather of this warning, Ed Griffin from Red Pill Expo on our show that for decades now has been warning of this move towards collectivism. But I'm sure they were shocked to have him in the room calling them all out. for not actually caring for the needs of the people,
Starting point is 00:07:55 but destroying the worlds we know it. Right, and much of the pillars that the WF is made of are collectivists. They could be housed under that. So he's saying collectivist experiments are never the answer. So it's interesting because he takes the helm in Argentina at a time when there is really runaway inflation, poverty, labor issues. And so he speaks a good game, but there are people that are questioning him
Starting point is 00:08:19 and have an eye on him. One of them is David Ike, longtime researcher. used to be called a conspiracy theorist until a lot of stuff he said came true he went to twitter and said this i heard that merely speech at the we have champions freedom so i listened it doesn't it seeks to move power and control from governments to corporations if you listen carefully and that's happening anyway so a very interesting observation there but again we're looking at the great point is let's make sure the remedy is not worse than the disease right i mean it's it's a continued issue when we look at these things thanks for
Starting point is 00:08:51 showing all sides of that. Yeah, absolutely. And so who else was there? Well, we have John Kerry, and you may remember John Kerry from this recent headline. He used to be Biden's climate change lead, but not anymore. John Kerry bows out as U.S. climate envoy. This is New York Times, and we've shown a lot of his science communication on the climate in testimony, which is not too crisp a lot of the times. Well, I'm sure like that Thomas Massey interchange that we have exchanged that we've viewed many times to not help him in that position, as he was clearly tongue-tied looking at the reality of what he was talking about.
