welcome back to another episode of andrew says a very special couple of guests today the ones
00:00:11.260
that love me the most lewis brackpool and avi amini how are you guys where are you guys
00:00:18.400
we're in love we're an hour from davos in la punta i don't know if that's how you pronounce
00:00:27.920
sounds very hispanic i want to get right into it with you guys avi this these videos of you walking
00:00:34.720
up to officials they're going really viral viral um are they are these government officials taken
00:00:40.760
off guard are they expecting to be interviewed like this because like i don't think before this
00:00:45.080
year people really showed up to the world economic forum in this way are they easily approachable are
00:00:50.880
they caught off guard we've seen a bit of it how does it feel to you oh the the best thing about
00:00:56.480
um the wef at the moment the only good thing is that they all wear their names on their chest
00:01:02.420
and and um and their class it's all color coded so if somebody's important they got like a white
00:01:09.060
um with blue name tag and then it says who they are and where they're from and you just um
00:01:15.840
all you gotta do is google it or have somebody google it and and then you quickly realize who
00:01:22.260
who you've got so you can yeah and they're not ready at all they're taken totally off guard
00:01:26.320
although today i think the word has gotten around because i think when we were standing there
00:01:30.640
um as they walked past us they would cover their um their ids which was a slightly offensive as a person
00:01:39.820
yeah i mean this video that we saw today i think our time is you asking this indian minister
00:01:47.940
questions on the street and he basically says that klaus schwab i think i have the quote here
00:01:53.260
somewhere he rules the capitalists of the world do you think that guy knew what he was saying like
00:01:58.120
that's pretty huge for him to just say that oh he didn't even have a problem with you quoting
00:02:01.920
back to him that he said klaus schwab rules the capitalists of the world he said no i've known
00:02:06.080
him for longer don't you realize that how you doing sir how you doing i'm doing well why are
00:02:11.640
you here in the wf why am i here it's a great place to meet people to uh tell them about what's
00:02:19.160
happening in india to transact business and do a host of other things listen there's so many indian
00:02:26.240
states here why are they competing on this one street not competing they're showing you the diversity
00:02:31.660
of india they're showing you what different states can do i can almost believe you're a politician
00:02:36.600
i'm the minister so now that's why i support all of them do you think we should change it from
00:02:43.420
world economic forum to maybe indian economic forum there's no you don't need to do that you don't
00:02:49.100
need to do that i've been associated with the organization since it was called a european
00:02:54.720
management forum so i told mr klaus schwab then if you have to woo the capitalists of the world
00:03:00.560
go beyond the european ones go and get the americans also and get the other so i'm very happy they're
00:03:06.460
doing well so you're the reason why klaus schwab is ruling the world i'm not the reason i'm just
00:03:11.680
somebody who's been interacting with him since the 80s but you have fun my friend i think to be fair
00:03:17.000
i misheard him i think he may have said woo i got corrected on twitter he may have said woo and i
00:03:23.940
couldn't understand his accent but when i said back to him rule he just went with it and he which
00:03:29.920
which is almost the same thing i i guess if you break down what he's saying that they think it's
00:03:34.660
normal but they're so they live in their own little safe space little bubble where they think
00:03:41.520
it's a compliment when you say they rule the world like true james bond villain a nice quote from
00:03:50.040
the old bond villain himself klaus schwab we must build a world that works for progress people and
00:03:57.980
the planet but you remember the the quote you'll own nothing and be happy you'll own nothing they'll
00:04:04.640
be all right so hanwa as well i've not heard of hanwa i'll be honest with you it says sustainable
00:04:10.920
solutions for earth for life of course something to do with climate change absolutely obsessed with it
00:04:16.820
bringing planet and profit together this is eco-nomics it's just it's almost sickly that's a lot of
00:04:29.900
co2 emissions eh quite clearly they care taxi on idle of course it is value added creation and
00:04:39.240
collaboration for sustainable development of course because we all know about agenda 2030
00:04:44.240
it's funny because all this talk about climate change and wanting to reduce to net zero and look
00:04:52.320
at this we've got mercedes-benz we've got military vehicles once again coming by as well hello he looks
00:05:00.600
happy obviously he's getting paid well and we just nearly got hit by one of these mercedes lots of parked
00:05:05.880
cars as well just stationed all around can you see all this all around of course they care so much for
00:05:14.000
the environment of course they do i mean that's not good for the environment so you know his social
00:05:20.440
credit score system will go down lewis i watched your video where you're first of all i think so in
00:05:27.780
your element they're walking around using british humor on everything that you see in the streets
00:05:32.020
but you walk around pointing out the signs the the military vehicles and all the cars it kind of
00:05:37.460
reminds me like it seems like it's at a carnival or something they're promoting quotes from their leader
00:05:41.980
and on some weird dystopian level they like avi says they think it's okay they think it's normal
00:05:48.580
what's your feel on the ground there and i've heard avi say like it looks like a pop-up shop for
00:05:54.360
for elites what's your feel on the ground there being just inundated with contradictory messages
00:05:59.900
the environment must be saved here's your 1950s military truck yeah i mean i'm glad i'm back at the
00:06:07.560
hotel if i'm totally honest it's uh it's nauseating because it's just all this corporate strip the way
00:06:14.140
i explain it is imagine you go away with uh your your good friends like you say go go on a lad's
00:06:20.020
holiday right and you go to the main strip with all the bars and all the clubs and all of that
00:06:24.840
um imagine that but it's for the world leaders and it's not bars and clubs it's just pop-up
00:06:31.140
corporations that are all circle jerking each other essentially and uh it's it's just intense
00:06:37.880
it's nauseating it's dystopian um i think you obviously saw the clip where uh the guy the the
00:06:44.720
events manager for intel uh basically ran off after i started to ask about censorship uh on the internet
00:06:51.580
and and then you pan around and you see i don't know who she was but she was getting photos in front of
00:06:58.660
like a a billboard with the world economic forum and intel just promoting it so it's just this
00:07:05.520
strange nauseating sort of celebrity like culture but uh with global leaders and entertainers from
00:07:14.500
around the world gathering together and just um yeah just complimenting each other now when you intel
00:07:22.020
the technology the world builds on and you can see the world economic forum right here
00:07:27.980
right here hello hi how are you doing i am great thank you for intel i work for intel i'm the event
00:07:36.620
manager interesting okay can you ask me first what so i'm with rebel news uh we're going around we're
00:07:42.680
doing a tour and showing people what this looks like basically from back at home uh it's interesting
00:07:47.320
with intel um because there's a lot of talk about we're not recording right we are yes um so there's
00:07:53.740
a lot of things about intel with um censorship and things like that give me one second yeah sure
00:07:59.080
what do you need i think i'm gonna get one colleague okay yeah sure if you like and it's almost like
00:08:04.720
a celebrity styled thing where you've got cameras and people obviously posing between
00:08:11.320
different billboards and promoting various companies the guys run off you guys are on the ground there
00:08:22.300
are there any government officials asking questions any police do you want to shed any light on that
00:08:27.840
incident that was going around about jack posobiec being detained have you seen anybody else be detained
00:08:32.640
what's the general reception there for journalists we're about to put out something special tonight
00:08:40.000
which kind of clarifies and sets the record straight to be fair the police have been pretty
00:08:46.880
nice to us and they've been joking around they've been like we've had some great interactions with them
00:08:52.660
besides for one interaction with savannah which is going to be part of this package tonight
00:08:58.880
which clarifies and and sets the record straight in on all of that um including some um i guess
00:09:06.480
uh accidental footage we caught when we were driving of a conversation with police so um
00:09:12.640
watch his face and we'll get to that i don't we haven't been questioned and i've been in their face
00:09:20.860
to be fair i think i've just been taught like i've interviewed one of them and they were joking around
00:09:26.640
with me so i think um uh we've had it lucky i don't know if jack because he was on the wef um hit list
00:09:35.600
maybe they targeted him but we we didn't see what happened first we don't know the reason all we know
00:09:41.380
is what jack said um he was and and and that he was detained for about half an hour and let go
00:09:48.200
and nothing further so um i don't know i can't speak to what what set that off all i can tell you
00:09:57.960
is our experience has been aside for what happened with savannah today in response to that um has been
00:10:05.960
generally pretty good in fact there's a there's that aussie that won't be that won't be in the package
00:10:11.580
but there was an aussie guard uh an aussie policeman at the checkpoint for a couple days in a row who's
00:10:17.000
just leaned up against the car and get a mate how you going it's like talking about didgeridoo's you
00:10:22.300
know yeah it was pretty good until today i guess after what happened with jack they photographed our
00:10:28.780
oh yeah and that's all going to be in the in the package tonight so watch your space all right so
00:10:36.120
through the magic of television we'll insert that video right now talk to me about what i lied about
00:10:41.240
no i can't talk about this i just tell you the truth well what's the truth i would love to
00:10:46.820
correct the record you know a family member we can give you information about that but what was
00:10:51.740
the lie tell me the lie so i can correct the record it was just a control
00:10:55.420
i've been here with savannah hernandez here in davos for the davos we're in davos switzerland
00:11:04.900
but today's video what we're doing is we're here to set the record straight about the entire story
00:11:11.360
but also because today there have been some interesting fact checks from the mainstream
00:11:17.020
media and we had the lowdown savannah tell me let's start from the beginning what happened
00:11:23.480
two days ago so i was told that or i saw on twitter that jack pisovic was being detained by
00:11:29.360
the swiss police and when i walked up i saw the scene he was being surrounded and i went up and i
00:11:34.780
asked them myself because as a journalist i wanted to get the facts directly from police i would like to
00:11:38.780
know why this journalist is being detained on public property what's detained uh can you explain
00:11:44.480
how come he's being surrounded right now is he allowed to leave the area we're we're just um making
00:11:50.020
a normal police control i spoke to jipasovic as well and he was pointing out the patches
00:11:54.760
on the police's arm that said world economic forum police and then that entire story you know many
00:12:01.200
people started questioning what that meant so today when we were driving in as we do every day here
00:12:07.260
um we had our 360 dash cam going basically to record the entire trip and we actually captured on
00:12:16.580
camera speaking to the police asking them about that patch can i ask you something you know the
00:12:21.200
police in there that have the wef patch yeah are they is are they actually wef police or is it just
00:12:29.860
um is it just that they're police that are wearing a patch no it's just police ah so what's that patch
00:12:35.180
just for fun yeah to be honest yeah i have this patch as well oh dude why are you not wearing it
00:12:43.420
uh because i don't have to ah so so whoever wants to wear it can wear it sorry so whoever wants to
00:12:50.400
wear it can wear it it's not really there are some who have to oh you have one it's so weird because
00:12:56.820
the media today put said that it's not real that it's just i know i've seen it yeah but yeah
00:13:02.280
it's it's why are they playing dress-ups i want to know that sorry why are they playing dress-ups for
00:13:09.400
the wef yeah from uh police uh tactics and so i'm not allowed to tell you oh you don't know okay okay
00:13:17.740
if you don't wear your wef patch can i have it no i had to buy oh what claus schwab didn't pay for
00:13:34.820
it you had to pay for it yeah what like uh from their pay it's like a uniform you know it's it's not
00:13:41.340
officially uniform for us okay some people all right you're so confusing like a souvenir oh like
00:13:49.080
you like annual but you said some of them have to wear it and they have to wear a souvenir and they
00:13:52.960
have to pay for it no we had you no you had to pay for it because claus schwab doesn't have enough
00:13:58.460
money i will talk to him for you yeah talk to him thank you see you brother my experience since being
00:14:07.000
here police have been super friendly super nice do you have a message for australia for australia
00:14:12.620
well beautiful country and enjoy davos keep this place safe i think there's many uh criminals around
00:14:20.640
the police so far have been very friendly i actually except for this one um i guess uh interaction i had
00:14:28.880
earlier today i was walking past and this plain clothed police officer said savannah you're famous here
00:14:33.520
switzerland and i said oh how do you know me and he said you lied you said somebody was arrested
00:14:38.620
please let me correct the record what did i lie about i don't say you lie i said you say you're
00:14:44.820
famous and i say hello i never said anybody was arrested i said that they were detained which is
00:14:49.800
completely different can you talk to me about what i lied about so i can erect the rest i just tell you
00:14:54.900
and that's the issue is that these fact checks don't even bring in the alternate angle of why americans
00:15:00.500
or why the world especially was so upset about these patches initially that's important as well
00:15:05.560
because when you don't have that context it just makes everyone look crazy like we're just creating
00:15:09.540
conspiracy theory out of nothing for no reason but there is context there's both sides there's
00:15:14.220
multiple angles to every single story including this one and that's what we're here to do we're here
00:15:18.880
to present the entire stories definitely go to wefreports.com to keep up with all of our reporting
00:15:24.980
because again so much is happening avi and you know there's six of us here and we've covered as
00:15:30.060
much as we could including this so thank you guys so much for watching louis i want to get your maybe
00:15:34.760
more existentially from you um how do you think that they move forward with this and i mean the wef
00:15:40.320
obviously they see how much attention has been on them in the last year do you think they continuously
00:15:45.340
move forward with this plan and they don't care about anything they don't care about the coverage or
00:15:49.620
the criticism or do you think that this now may have become this like facade hey we know
00:15:54.020
everybody's got eyes on this let's plan somewhere else or something somewhere else what do you have
00:15:58.820
you thought about that well this year uh well this year's summit is all about regaining trust
00:16:04.920
now you've got a question why do they need to regain trust so that's the main reason so if you if you
00:16:12.420
break that down you realize that actually a lot of people don't trust these people um and they don't
00:16:17.940
want this dystopian future that they keep uh accelerating towards um so it's hard to say
00:16:25.940
whether this is going to carry on the way it is but let me tell you something if they do another
00:16:31.140
summit there's going to be i think i reckon more independent journalists are going to be turning up
00:16:35.760
because a lot more people are starting to wake up to all this nonsense especially um with stuff like
00:16:41.840
the great reset and everything that entails from that and you know klaus schwab's book and everything
00:16:47.280
that he writes in that um so this acceleration i don't know if personally i think it's not going
00:16:54.640
to last for much longer um because of the theme from this year because it's all about regaining trust
00:17:02.400
and you've just got to question that louis your documentary or series the great reset is doing very
00:17:08.300
well like to congratulate you on that do you think this is the perfect time to be talking about this
00:17:13.180
stuff and the perfect time to be trying to tell people what this is all about and how it seems to
00:17:19.100
me like their governments are being manipulated by giant multinational corporations who want them to
00:17:24.360
the government to benefit them in some way oh yeah and the timing on releasing the the documentary
00:17:30.140
has been absolutely perfect i mean the day before i flew out here and then started reporting
00:17:34.000
so i've been getting brilliant comments about it i've not seen any bad reviews which is really good
00:17:39.640
um so yeah and thank you um for for that it's over at expose the reset.com uh so anyone who hasn't
00:17:46.840
seen that can uh can follow the link there and watch the first episode um but we're we've got lots
00:17:52.680
planned there's still many more episodes to come uh because there is so much information to
00:17:58.320
sort of squeeze into video format that you we just need to separate it between episodes but um
00:18:06.040
yeah i'm excited it's well i say excited it's it's a horrible subject and it's very blackpilling but um
00:18:13.220
yeah we'll see where it goes and hopefully more people will wake up avi i think people would want me
00:18:19.300
to ask you about australia in relation to the who right now what can you tell us about what's going
00:18:25.280
on in australia because the time zone difference it's very hard for people to to keep on top of
00:18:30.680
things in the western hemisphere what's going on with this who and australia agreeing to some sort of
00:18:37.080
you know deal where the who has power if there's any sort of pandemic can you shed light on that
00:18:42.020
i i don't actually know at the moment because australia is just uh well there's a new government
00:18:49.060
that's been sworn in the last couple of days um a left-wing labor government has just won the
00:18:56.240
election and there's still i think there's still uh counting the preferences for some of the senate
00:19:03.060
senate seats to see where this balance power really sits so we don't know and i do fear that um this
00:19:11.860
who pandemic treaty is something that the australian government will rush to sign up to hence
00:19:18.000
a labor government it's saying you know it's the labor government that locked down victorians it's
00:19:24.020
a labor government that locked down western australians i think uh australia is a scary thought at the
00:19:31.880
moment and um we'll just have to watch that space just a couple more questions before i let you guys go
00:19:38.880
wefreports.com one of the bigger statements that people listened to in the last couple days was
00:19:44.660
somebody saying that they want to recalibrate free speech what do you guys what do you each of you
00:19:49.840
think that means well that we are finding ourselves in a place um where we're we have increasing
00:19:56.380
polarization everywhere and everything feels binary when it doesn't need to be so i think we're going
00:20:02.680
to have to think about a recalibration of a whole range of human rights that are playing out online you
00:20:07.240
know from freedom of speech to the freedom to you know to be free from online violence or the right
00:20:14.680
of data protection to the right to child dignity that's the australian e-safety commissioner there
00:20:20.780
you go um and yeah so what does that mean that means they want to impose censorship on anything
00:20:28.300
that doesn't suit the official australian government narrative and that is a bloody scary thought
00:20:34.300
especially now that there is a left-wing labor government as bad as the last government was
00:20:39.160
and as bad as the uh ideas that the that the uh previous government was bringing forward with
00:20:44.680
in the in the censorship space in the online space this is horrific to hear a government official
00:20:53.560
especially from my country publicly on a platform at the world economic forum so such an international
00:21:01.080
platform just openly call for a ministry of truth with the backing of some sort of of the sort of
00:21:09.040
government that they have in australia um i hope it's rejected far and wide and we'll certainly make
00:21:16.060
a lot of noise about it because um at the end of the day we're at the top of their list
00:21:20.820
and i feel bad for avi when he when he gets home really to that government um but uh it's not just
00:21:29.240
happening in australia it's happening throughout the west you know as you know the uk is is just
00:21:34.380
um shot to bits in terms of free speech so it wouldn't surprise me if something like that
00:21:39.960
was was heading over here in the uk we've kind of already there with the uh the online safety bill
00:21:45.360
that will be coming out uh pretty soon i haven't read an update on it but um it basically sounds
00:21:50.740
like a similar thing um i don't know it's a scary time it's a scary time for free speech i think
00:21:57.100
um and it's i don't know when it happened but how come more free speech is now considered a threat
00:22:04.140
to democracy i don't know when did that happen um so you know there's a lot of questions to be asked
00:22:09.720
and i'm sure um not only avi but myself and many others are going to be speaking out about uh this
00:22:15.540

00:22:30.460
interesting fact is where we are now is um we're in a section that's kind of between two borders of the
00:22:37.840
to of italy and then at the top i think is is austria so all the food here that's edible is is italian
00:22:45.700

00:23:12.280
and rookshan we're hating on rookshan especially the americans he's been bullying rookshan
00:23:17.240
but i do that i do that on cameras it's the same so the american is what you get in real life
00:23:23.800
so the americans can't understand you guys is that what i'm hearing
00:23:26.700
