Our overlords are meeting in Davos to plan our future and "misinformation" is their greatest concern. But Rebel News founder Ezra Levant is on the ground to expose them. Ezra joins Glenn live from the streets of Davos to describe what he's seen, starting with a disturbing contradiction: While global elites want to restrict your air travel, they have no problem flooding the local airport with planes. Ezra discusses some of the "Masters of the Universe" that he's been able to question on the streets, including the president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He also reveals the main thing he's learned while in Davos and why he believes that a lot more censorship is coming.

GLENN: All right. Our overlords are meeting in Davos to plan our future, and it sounds great. The number one priority is not global climate change. It's not wars. It's not inflation. It's not food. It's nothing except misinformation and disinformation. And they're trying to get all the global leaders to come together like this. And make sure that the voices, quite honestly, like mine and TheBlaze and people like Ezra Levant from Rebel News up in Canada, are silent. Yesterday, at the conference, there was a meeting on, how do we shut these people up?

And the head of the Center of Democracy and Technology, his name is Alex Reeve Givens. He said, there's something bizarre happening in America. Listen to this.

VOICE: Even as we're living in this heightened threat environment. A number of the social media companies have actually been scaling back their investments and trust in safety.

In particular, around elections. And those that are still keeping up the work, are facing more political scrutiny and pressure to disband those efforts than of before.

So in the United States, for example. We have congressional investigations and lawsuits against people that study mis and disinformation about elections on social media platforms.

There is currently an injunction in place stopping the Biden administration from communicating with social media platforms about interference threats, on the topics of elections.

That's actually going before the United States Supreme Court this year.

So we're in this bizarre environment, where right as the threats are ticking up, the investments in actually doing the day-to-day work of online trust and safety for our information environment is being scaled back, and is under attack.

And those are all things we need to recalibrate right now, to try to address the threats.

GLENN: Yeah. Sorry. I thought for sure, Alex identified as a man. Apparently, he's now identifying as a woman.

It is bizarre, that we don't want government. It's just out in our Constitution.

But other than that, don't worry about it.

We have Ezra Levant, who is on the ground, in the cold right now, at the World Economic Forum at Davos. How are the hookers, Ezra?

EZRA: I'm the wrong guy to ask, Glenn. A friend of mine did a story of how every single escort within 100 miles was booked up by the World Economic Forum.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. They're good people. They're good people.

EZRA: You know what, this is a place of excess.

Let me give you an example: There's a small private airfield about an hour and a half away from here. And I went there to film the private jets landing.

And the airport told me that 150 private jets per day land at this air trip, just for the World Economic Forum. They say that one week basically pays for the entire year.

That's like a city of half a million people. That's how many flights might be there in an average day. And it's more than that.

There's not enough room to park 150 jets of this small airfield.

So they fly in, drop off the VVIP. Then they fly out to another airfield to park, and then they come back to pick up their person.

And then many of them take the helicopter for that last one hour drive. To not be on the streets with the peasants. That's the kind of luxury you see here. But they're the ones telling us to reduce our carbon footprint. They're the ones telling us not to fly as much.

Let me tell you what we're doing here.

We are not accredited journalists. We applied, and they obviously rejected us.

And that's fine, so we can't get into the sessions like the one you just played the clip from. The word on the street in this town in Davos, which is like a ski resort, high in the Alps. And it's full of -- I'm not going to say celebrities. But sort of political celebrities. And because they feel like they're amongst friends and it's so hard to get here, they let their guard down. So just standing on the street and reading name tags, some people you can recognize. Like yesterday, I asked some questions of John Kerry about the private jet. Today, my colleague Abby, asked Dr. Tedros of the World Health Organization some questions.

So these people don't have big entourages. And the Swiss police have a very light touch.

Penny Pritzker was here. And I asked her some questions about Harvard.

And so, there's no way you would get this kind of access in almost any other place.

And I will say, the cops here are so gentle. They have not stopped us from scrumming anyone.

Yesterday, I walked with the president of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, peppering him with questions. He did not have any answers. But, boy, I asked my questions. And that video has been viewed a million times overnight, Glenn.

I tell you, it's a crazy place where the masters of the universe get together to make the rules for the rest of us, and there's only about half a dozen citizen journalists here. The rest of them are regime journalists, who pay to be here as official delegates.

So I saw, for example, Richard Quest from CNN. I think he's a great idealist 90 percent of the time, by the way. But we scrummed him going in there. And we said, how come you only ask softball questions of Klaus Schwab?

Well, it's because CNN paid a quarter of a million dollars for them to get in, as sort of a member.

You're not going to stink up the joint, if you have the golden invitation.

GLENN: I don't know. I might pay.

I might pay for that.

You might write the check to go and have all of them come on my show.

EZRA: Well, they might kick you out if you do that. By the way, I'm standing in the promenade, and a huge bunch of military vehicles are passing through. I'm not sure if that's just normal Switzerland stuff, or if that's because Vladimir Zelinsky is in town. And Emanuel Macron is in town. And the Secretary General of the United Nations is in town. These aren't just VIPs. They're VVIPs and VVVIPs. And they let you know it.

GLENN: So what is the main thing you've taken from this?

EZRA: Well, look, there are some people here that are just here to sell goods and services. Because there are so many politicians. And wow, there's such a military convoy going through downtown here. I don't even know what's happening. Maybe Zelinsky is on the move.

I mean, wanted to tell you that, I'm live from the promenade in Davos right now, and I just -- and it's like a whole military, not a parade. But a series of big trucks. Imagine juxtaposing that with your five-star celebrities.

Anyway, the number one message, as Klaus Schwab says, is information.

They say their theme is rebuilding trust.

Which -- because they know they've shattered trust with ordinary people, over the last few years. Whether it's COVID or lockdowns. Or junk science. Or inflation. Or immigration. Or whatever.

So they know they have to fix trust. But at the same time, they believe in censorship. I scrummed a few different officials with meta.

And my colleague was scrumming an official from Google, just a minute ago.

And all our questions are about: Are they trying to strangle free discussions in the year of the 2024 elections?

Every one of them is aware of Trump's victory in the Iowa caucuses. And I'm talking about people all around the world.

This is not just Americans. This is a very international.

GLENN: Oh, no.

My understanding, is that yesterday, a lot of the discussions at Davos, centered around, this is a real threat to our agenda.

This can't happen.

EZRA: Oh, oh, absolutely.

If you were to take a poll of the VVIPs here at Davos, 90 percent of them would be against Trump.

Not necessarily for Biden.

They're just for anyone who wouldn't upset the international order that they've established here.

And so, basically these Europeans and these globalists, and these elites, want to have a vote, without having a vote.

Here's what I mean. For example, Klaus Schwab recently said, AI is so progressed.

You don't really need elections anymore. Because AI can figure out what the people want.

I have seen WEF presentations about how AI, Artificial Intelligence, can replace courts and judges.

Because you just enter all the data, and they will just replicate what a good judge would do.

So the real political bias in artificial intelligence.

I said, those are the two emphases I can see just on the streets here.

Censorship of the, quote, misinformation.
And artificial intelligence. When you combine those two things, and I saw, you're in a Brave New World right there.

GLENN: So, Ezra, I want to talk to you about one thing that came to my attention yesterday.

There's a story in the independent, climate misinformation is mutating on YouTube, and the platform is profiting.

And it is a story, that mentioned two people. One of them is me and TheBlaze.

And TheBlaze, I guess, is making money from YouTube, because they're not canceling us, and putting us where we belong. Which is nowhere.

Because we are discussing things like climate crisis denial content.

We also -- we're talking about the -- the last election.

And saying that the last election had many questions, behind it.

The Great Reset. An online conspiracy theory. That claims global elites trying to dismantle capitalism, and create a new social order.

Which they are.

And the other person was Jordan Peterson.

Now, they're -- they're targeting us, through Google and Facebook. My Facebook page is down 95 percent in the best year I've ever had, including the years at Fox.

Never had a bigger footprint than thousand. But Facebook is down 95 percent.

Why?

The other thing. The other part of it is -- is -- yeah. Go ahead.

KEVIN: That's deliberate. They're trying to demonetize you.

We scrummed Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of ADL.

And we asked them, why have you tried to kill advertising on Twitter, but never on TikTok?

And he wouldn't answer that. So that's why they're trying to do to you and Jordan Peterson.

And, by the way, they will invent new, quote, crimes.

I saw this phrase ecocide, being bandied about here.

So the same way, you couldn't be a skeptic or have a contrary point of view on COVID evacuation, they will do the same thing for climate. They basically telegraphed that that's the plan.

GLENN: Well, one of the -- one of the disturbing things. They did this last year, to Russell Brand. You don't even see him anymore.

He is still doing a podcast, but he never shows up on anyone's feed.

When was the last time you saw Russell Brand in your feed?

EZRA: Well, I seek them out. But you're right, they're trying to kill him financially.

GLENN: Correct. And the next thing is Jordan Peterson. He lost in court, yesterday, his appeal on having to go to some sort of reeducation camp. Because he said, and this is a quote.

The -- the woman who was obese, on Sports Illustrated bikini, was not beautiful. It was sick. And now he has to have reeducation.

EZRA: Yeah. And that's -- that's in some ways, a lot scarier. The woke economic forum is a bunch of people coming up with bad ideas. But they don't actually have the legal or judicial power to enforce them.

The trouble is all the VVIPs here go home, and go home to their legislatures or courts or businesses, and implement it back home. But the WEF itself doesn't have the power to do that here in Davos. But what you're talking about, what happened to Jordan Peterson, that was a real court. And the college of psychologists of Ontario is a regulator, that has the power to deny someone their profession.

Now, Jordan Peterson doesn't take patients anymore. He hasn't in many years.

But they're trying to destroy his professional reputation.

Again, the colleges there for doctors who were abusive, or who take advantage of their clients. You know, it's a professional organization to make sure that psychologists in Ontario are amicable. They are using that for lawfare, to silence him on completely unrelated matters.

And it's not atrocious that they're meddling with his political views. It's their command, their order to him, is that he basically go to a political reeducation. I mean, he has to go to some, I don't know, what the phrase is, a coach, or a remedial social media class or something.

GLENN: Yeah. Whatever the Chinese call it, it's still a reeducation camp.

And here's -- here's the --

EZRA: Struggle session.

GLENN: Yeah. And here is my struggle. I wonder who used that.

The -- the other thing though, that is disturbing, is they are trying to scare doctors into silence. They have already purged all of the doctors that would say something about the COVID vaccine.

The nurses, all of them. Anyone with a conscience, that's different with the state. They're purging them. That's very dangerous, as you know.

EZRA: What Jordan Peterson, he's the most famous psychologist in Canada. He's also very wealthy. And in some ways influential and powerful. So if they can do this to him, imagine what they can do to you. This is (foreign language). This is to scare everybody else. Yeah. They want to shut up Jordan Peterson. I don't know if they'll succeed. That guy doesn't shut up easily.

But what they're going to do is terrify a thousand other psychologists and doctors and nurses. You know, there happens to be another nurse in the Canadian province of British Columbia, who sponsored a sign that just said, I heart J.K. Rowling. But that's all she did. They took her before the professional association for the same sort of thing.

And so how many nurses, how many doctors, how many people of any profession are being terrorized into silence? And it's all part of the same cultural Marxism. Or wokism.

Hey, yesterday.

I scrummed the president of State Street. Do you know what that is?

It's BlackRock. It's a huge asset manager.

And I asked him. That's what it is like in Davos. You never know what you will bump into.

And I said to him, aren't you putting your own politics of your fiduciary duties to -- to your show. I said, you're promoting ESG, environmental and social governance, basically cultural Marxism. I said, how can you do that and claim to be a response to the shareholders.

GLENN: His response?

EZRA: Well, he said, we're doing both. He said, we're not going to stop with ESG. But it's shareholder value.

GLENN: Right. Okay. Quickly.

EZRA: I pressed on. And he wouldn't talk much more.

GLENN: Yeah.

EZRA: But that's what Davos is like, in the World Economic Forum.

GLENN: Thank you so much. Ezra Levant from Rebel News up in Switzerland right now, with the elites.
