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
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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.
