The World Economic Forum took place in Davos, Switzerland last week where the ultra-rich and powerful met and agreed to do nothing to make life better for any of us. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins joins me to talk about it. Farron, you know, you have masters, this story's great, masters of the universe. They leave their security bubble, they're gated communities, their billionaire gated communities with their arm guards on their jets and to tell the unclean masses, the mere mortals like me and you, how we should live. They fly in with their jets, armed guards, extra sex workers, by the way, are flown in just to make sure that all these billionaire types are really happy as they preach to us about how stupid we are, how smart they are. And it's just at this festive environment, it where, where they're just talking about basically, we're the smartest people on the planet. That's why we're, we're all here in Davos, Switzerland.

Right. And, and you know, I, I've read so many articles about what Davos, you know, what took place there, but nobody can even seem to answer the very simple question of what is the point?

Mm-hmm.

You know, there doesn't really seem to be any reason why this needs to be happening, because nothing comes of it, other than a bunch of rich and powerful people patting themselves on the back, patting each other on the back saying, we're so great and wonderful. Shouldn't everybody else be just like us? But they're not smart enough to be like us.

Yeah. I mean, look, the way I, the descriptions of the, it's like five days of this nauseating virtue signaling. The virtue signaling is you dumb masses, if you would just be as smart as we are, this would be a better world. And in the process, they're sitting there eating Swiss chocolate, drinking thousand dollar champagne, a thousand dollars a bottle, and they attack all the flaws of what they determined to be the common man. This is nauseating to me. What, this has been going on how many years? This is where globalism comes from.

Yeah.

These are globalist, capitalist pigs is what they are. Globalist, capitalist pigs, doing all this virtue, this virtue signaling to say they're somehow smarter than us.

Well, and one of the big themes that kept coming up was, oh, populism, populism is so bad. We've got these workers that are, you know, so-called quiet quitting, where they're just not doing much at work.

Now, talk about that. Okay. This CEO of this company stands up and starts preaching about the idea, you know, unemployment really is good. And then he tries to make it into an argument. Well, it's good for the bankers, obviously, right?

Yeah. The, all the problems in the world are caused by the workers, not by the people at Davos. That is their big message. You know, we need high unemployment because it, it, it drives up our prices. You know, we're able to save money. We can jack up our costs. We can be more choosy in who we hire when there's three applicants for every job instead of one applicant for every three jobs.

Mm-hmm.

And that's what they want and that's what the Fed here in the US has been pushing and there was even a point where, where you had them talking about how disastrous it's been for their individual countries with the offshoring of jobs. And then at the end they're like, but we're not gonna change.

Yeah.

They, they actually said that. Like, we know it's bad, but we're gonna leave it in place because hey, why not?

The edge of it comes, the, the interesting edge comes about the borders. Okay. You know, they can't help but talk about the borders because these folks are the people who came up with NAFTA and CAFTA, had Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton push all that. And then all of a sudden they say, well, you know, we can do better than that.
