The world's global leaders met at a climate summit this month in Egypt.
00:00:06.140
What did they talk about? The radical transformation of society.
00:00:11.040
But don't worry, Klaus Schwab says it's for your own good.
00:00:18.480
He is the author of a book called The Great Reset, Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown.
00:00:23.940
He has written several other books about this subject.
00:00:26.340
We're going to talk about climate change today and also this climate change conference
00:00:34.140
Now, if you are like me, this conversation kind of makes you feel demoralized, scared, hopeless.
00:00:42.360
Well, he's going to have some words of encouragement for us at the end.
00:00:45.540
But I also wanted to start off with this reminder.
00:00:49.480
I love this passage from Psalm 2, also Psalm 37.
00:00:53.660
One of my favorite passages, as you know, is a great compliment to this.
00:00:57.860
But let me read you this and just keep this in mind as we talk to Mark today.
00:01:10.820
Why did the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
00:01:14.020
The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord
00:01:18.520
and against his anointed, saying, Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.
00:01:29.760
Then he will speak to them in his wrath and will terrify them in his fury, saying,
00:01:34.140
As for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill.
00:01:39.280
So we remember through all of this that God is in charge, that he is bigger than the American
00:01:45.380
government, than world governments, than China, than the World Economic Forum, and that nothing
00:01:51.880
is too difficult for him and that nothing can thwart his will, as Job 42, 2 says.
00:01:58.720
I mean, we have hope in this life, but more importantly, we have hope eternally, too.
00:02:03.460
Now, before we get into that conversation, just a couple of things I want to say.
00:02:06.960
We have Christmas merch for you guys, and we have this amazing shirt.
00:02:11.300
If you're watching this on YouTube, you can see the design.
00:02:16.540
I had a rough idea of what I wanted it to look like, but your girl is not an artist.
00:02:21.200
And so we had our amazing designers at Blaze TV come up with it.
00:02:25.100
It's a crew neck sweatshirt, and it's got this design on the back.
00:02:32.940
It's like a drawing of Mary, a really pretty, like flowy drawing of Mary.
00:02:36.960
Jesus in her belly, and then it says a thrill of hope.
00:02:41.960
And it's just obviously a reminder of the hope that we have in Christ, but also that
00:02:47.160
he came in the form of a baby, an unborn baby first.
00:02:52.960
And so I know that you guys are going to love it.
00:02:55.540
We'll sell it in all the fun Christmas colors, and we'll have a Black Friday deal, too, that
00:03:05.580
So we will link it in the description of this episode now.
00:03:09.220
And this episode is also brought to you by our friends at Good Ranchers.
00:03:16.280
Well, Mr. Morano, thank you so much for joining us.
00:03:28.300
Can you tell everyone who might not know who you are and what you do?
00:03:31.660
I'm Mark Morano, the publisher of Climate Depot, daily information source for environment,
00:03:37.780
climate, energy news, former United States Senate Environment Public Works Committee,
00:03:42.780
and the author of several books, including Green Fraud, Why the Green New Deal is Worse
00:03:46.700
Than You Think, and also The Great Reset, Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown.
00:03:57.220
I grew up, what I would always say, as a Republican, except when it came to environmental issues.
00:04:02.040
I was a volunteer on Ronald Reagan's 1980 campaign.
00:04:05.480
So I was always concerned about environmental issues.
00:04:07.700
As such, I got caught up in the Save the Rainforest campaigns in the 90s.
00:04:13.060
And then by the time I realized that we'd been essentially exaggerated, all these climate
00:04:18.820
things, I ended up doing a documentary on the Amazon rainforest back and filmed it in
00:04:25.840
And that really opened my eyes to all the exaggeration and falsehoods that were being
00:04:31.020
perpetrated from somewhat, sometimes legitimate environmental concerns, and now they would
00:04:36.080
So when climate came along, I was already pretty much skeptical, and I worked in the Senate Environment
00:04:40.880
and Public Works Committee, and then when this COVID came along and did the Great Reset,
00:04:46.300
COVID lockdowns, which then led to the World Economic Forum pronouncing time for a Great
00:04:50.700
Reset, I had learned everything about COVID lockdowns and censorship from my two decades
00:04:58.380
It's like that book from the 1980s, everything I needed to know I learned in kindergarten.
00:05:02.200
Well, everything I needed to know about COVID lockdowns, the Great Reset, I had learned
00:05:08.820
So I approached this whole issue, all these issues, as an investigative reporter.
00:05:14.240
I have a background in communications and reporting.
00:05:16.880
I was a White House Capitol Hill press credentialed, and I worked as a working journalist, an investigative
00:05:23.460
journalist, did documentaries on a host of environmental issues from wetlands, endangered
00:05:33.860
I'm not a scientist, but I like to say I sometimes play one on TV, and that really riles up some
00:05:40.600
There are a lot of issues that have probably been exaggerated or that we've been given
00:05:46.260
misinformation about, and yet this climate issue is one that has persisted for decades.
00:05:52.260
And it's really amazing how wrong the scientists and the so-called climate experts have been
00:05:59.120
in a lot of their predictions, and yet they are still given credibility.
00:06:02.580
We are still told that we have to believe them unconditionally.
00:06:06.260
And not only that, but it's got a hold of at least one whole political party in the United
00:06:15.480
I mean, you talked about the World Economic Forum.
00:06:22.280
I mean, there are a lot of issues that I guess we could have taken hold of and said, this is
00:06:26.660
our issue, and we really have to fight for this, whatever it is.
00:06:30.760
How did this become the interest of so many people in power?
00:06:36.120
Well, in my previous book, Green Fraud, I go through the origins of essentially the Green
00:06:40.880
New Deal, and what we find out, if you go back to the 1960s, before there was climate
00:06:45.640
change, there was the overpopulation myth by Paul Ehrlich, the overpopulation bomb.
00:06:50.420
The population bomb is what it was called, worried about overpopulation.
00:06:53.900
And he made all of the same kind of climate catastrophe things, but this time using overpopulation.
00:06:59.760
He said we would be running out of food, resource scarcity, there'd be famines, there'd be mass
00:07:04.800
deaths, that the world needed to have radical transformation.
00:07:11.200
And then in the 1970s, you had a man-made global cooling scare.
00:07:17.000
I mean, you had all these scientists write a letter to President Nixon at the time, warning
00:07:22.640
So before fossil fuels caused global warming, fossil fuels allegedly caused man-made global
00:07:27.720
They thought our aerosols from the burning of fossil fuels were blocking out the sun, which
00:07:31.840
I wish I could do on the right side of my head there.
00:07:34.280
And they thought that was causing this essentially global dimming, which was cooling the earth.
00:07:39.000
And they were blaming bad weather, wars, famines, all sorts of things on man-made global cooling.
00:07:46.100
I spent a whole chapter in my book showing that the solutions to all of these previous environmental
00:07:51.340
scares, overpopulation, global cooling, even the species extinction and deforestation, the
00:08:01.240
More government control, more sovereignty-limiting treaties, an end of private property rights,
00:08:07.020
an end of free markets, massive wealth redistribution.
00:08:09.480
So the reason global warming has persisted, and it really didn't kick in until 1989, when
00:08:15.720
NASA scientist James Hansen testified on the Hill in 1988, and then also the United Nations
00:08:22.520
That's when it all, they basically said, we're going to get all the environmental issues,
00:08:25.980
like a big, think of it like a big poker game, they're going to put all our chips in on climate.
00:08:30.960
So every other issue has been subservient to climate since then.
00:08:36.720
The exact same solutions to every previous environmental scare.
00:08:42.480
And if you go back and look at the Rio Earth Summit from 1992, which then President George
00:08:47.400
H.W. Bush attended, they literally sound the United Nations Sustainable Development.
00:08:52.940
It reads like a carbon copy of the Green New Deal.
00:08:55.700
And I detail, here's excerpts from the United Nations Sustainable Development in the early
00:09:03.760
So all that is, is a retread of the past several decades of the same climate solutions for previous
00:09:10.720
So basically what you're saying is that the reason that this gained so much traction, especially
00:09:26.340
among what we would call elites or, you know, global leaders, is because it is such an effective
00:09:32.120
vehicle for power and for the radical transformation of economies, of political systems, of society.
00:09:40.460
Basically, if you can tell people that there is an existential threat and you and your family are going to die
00:09:46.300
and the world as you know it is going to come to an end unless we do something, unless we take control,
00:09:52.160
then I guess they think that that is a good enough premise, a good enough reason to take control and to kind of enact that radical transformation.
00:10:07.400
Like you were talking about in the 1960s and 70s about these people who thought that there was a great global cooling
00:10:14.000
and change to global warming, like is there any legitimacy in this climate science or is it all activism?
00:10:23.280
Yeah, in fact, I was just hit by the BBC came out, you believe in climate change is caused by man?
00:10:29.520
It's not a simple question in that regard, but mankind is not driving any climate, climate catastrophe or climate emergency.
00:10:38.320
Yes, our CO2 emissions can cause some level of warming, but at this point, many of the climate scientists say
00:10:45.340
you can't even detect what the climate would be naturally versus what it would be with mankind's influence.
00:10:50.620
In other words, there are quite literally hundreds of factors that influence the climate.
00:10:54.480
It's the most complex system known to man and everything from tilt to the Earth's axis to water vapor,
00:11:02.420
to clouds, to methane, to volcanoes, to the sun, and all these feedbacks come up with a global temperature.
00:11:09.020
So the idea that they can pick one politically selected factor on the margin, carbon dioxide,
00:11:13.840
and then say, if we control that, we can control storms and weathers and hurricanes.
00:11:18.900
On every timescale, and this is acknowledged in national climate assessments and even UN reports buried deep,
00:11:24.160
hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, droughts, wildfires are either not increasing or on declining trends on 50 to 100-year timescales.
00:11:33.800
Now, what they do to make everything sound scary and still be correct scientifically,
00:11:38.200
they'll pick an area, say, Southwest California, and they'll pick, say, a 15-year period,
00:11:43.080
and they'll say, the drought in this one particular area is unprecedented, and our climate models show if we don't do something,
00:11:49.600
it could be, you know, the entire country will be in drought by the year 2100.
00:11:52.860
And they're technically right that that one area might be in an unprecedented drought,
00:11:57.080
but unprecedented and record weather events and historic events happen every day everywhere on the planet, have always happened.
00:12:04.200
It's kind of like when you go into a casino and you see all the signs of the people winning the slot machines,
00:12:10.100
you get the impression that everyone wins that's playing the slots.
00:12:13.260
Well, if you watch the news or listen to Al Gore, the UN, they claim that every day is unprecedented weather and records being broken,
00:12:19.520
but on actual climate timescale, it's not happening.
00:12:23.120
And that includes sea level rise, which has been rising 10,000-plus years since the end of the last ice age, no acceleration.
00:12:30.860
They are disappearing, but they're only disappearing from Al Gore's books and movies.
00:12:34.540
He dropped them in his sequel 10 years after his first film.
00:12:38.700
Because they never counted so many polar bears.
00:12:40.940
And it's generally known, even the indigenous people acknowledge,
00:12:43.420
everyone acknowledges up in the Arctic that polar bears are at or near historic population highs.
00:12:48.620
And that's why you don't hear anyone talk about polar bears anymore.
00:12:52.380
I also saw something because we hear about things like the Great Barrier Reef and how it's depleting.
00:12:57.960
I actually saw that it's at its record highest amount of coral in like 40 years or something like that.
00:13:06.700
I mean, how does that happen if climate change is just getting worse and worse and all of our resources are being depleted?
00:13:13.420
Yeah, I mean, in fact, I remember NBC News Today Show would do like during Earth Week,
00:13:19.920
This is decades ago, just warning of all the danger.
00:13:28.240
And this is true even of all these low-lying Pacific islands, the Maldives and Tuvalu.
00:13:35.380
What happens is when current reality fails to alarm in the climate,
00:13:39.200
they make scarier and scarier predictions of the future.
00:13:41.640
And it's all based on data models, which they claim as data.
00:13:45.160
But it's just a prediction of tuned models that scientists, you know, put in these inputs,
00:13:49.620
which they believe mankind is driving a catastrophe.
00:13:52.040
And of course, presto, they come out with scary scenarios.
00:13:55.440
But just real quick, you mentioned the failed predictions.
00:13:59.080
1995, New York Times predicted East Coast beaches, according to climate experts,
00:14:04.740
In 1989, the U.N. said we had a 10-year tipping point by which to act.
00:14:10.120
In 2007, Al Gore issued the same 10-year tipping point.
00:14:13.880
In my book, Green Fraud, I go back to 1864 when Abraham Lincoln was president.
00:14:19.000
I found an academic named George Marsh Perkins who actually warned that unless mankind changed
00:14:28.360
Abraham Lincoln was president when the first climate tipping point was issued.
00:14:35.920
I think you said that that was written in the 1960s or 70s.
00:14:38.960
And that really goes all the way back to Thomas Malthus.
00:14:42.580
I think that was the 18th century in the Malthusian catastrophe.
00:14:47.840
Of course, I believe that was before the Industrial Revolution.
00:14:50.580
So he couldn't even really see that actually human beings through innovation
00:14:55.040
can create very efficient systems so that they are not just a drain on resources,
00:15:00.320
but are actually creating more resources for human beings and making it better to live
00:15:07.520
He really saw human beings only as detractors from the resources that we have and not contributors
00:15:14.020
And even though that has been debunked, obviously, just through time and history,
00:15:19.160
we still see that reiterated today, not just in the 1960s and 70s.
00:15:24.360
But that is a theme that we see at the World Economic Forum.
00:15:28.140
That is a theme that we see among these global leaders.
00:15:33.620
Warren Buffett is really kind of a Malthusian paranoid guy.
00:15:38.340
A lot of the people that are funding the Democratic Party and a lot of these climate change,
00:15:43.920
quote unquote, solutions are really concerned that there are too many people.
00:15:49.220
And that that concerns me that they're concerned with that.
00:15:54.200
In fact, Chuck Schumer just came out, I think it was last week or earlier this week.
00:15:57.860
And literally said, you know, that because Americans aren't reproducing,
00:16:01.420
we have to welcome and legalize all these illegal immigrants because that's the only way our population.
00:16:05.660
So I'm a little confused because suddenly they're now the only place they embrace more population is through illegal immigration.
00:16:12.720
Al Gore was at a Bill Gates funded event and at a panel with Bill Gates 2014.
00:16:17.860
And he actually said Africa is projected to have more people than China and India combined by mid-century.
00:16:25.000
And he went on to talk about the need for ubiquitous fertility management in Africa
00:16:30.120
in order basically to keep the number of Africans down because it was going to be a problem of some sort.
00:16:36.620
I mean, this is this is still at the heart of everything.
00:16:40.080
The Malthusian idea, the idea is that if left to our own, this is, in fact, the heart of the Great Reset.
00:16:45.280
If left to our own devices, meaning the masses, we're the unwashed masses, Ali.
00:16:50.840
If we will create destruction of the earth, we will create a climate catastrophe, we'll create racism,
00:17:02.000
We need credentialed experts who studied this, who have decades of experience and PhDs to come in and manage not only our lives,
00:17:12.780
And then we can go along and live our little lives.
00:17:14.700
In the words of the world economic form, you'll own nothing.
00:17:22.920
You meet will be a rare and expensive treat, etc., etc.
00:17:27.060
And that's a vision that existed when Woodrow Wilson was president.
00:17:31.020
This is when it was introduced in the United States, the administrative state ruled by experts.
00:17:36.200
And that, of course, has been the whole premise of essentially how to solve the Malthus problem of resource scarcity.
00:17:43.480
And it's also been the part of the climate debate where we have to give up national autonomy.
00:17:49.900
You have to give up free markets in order for the government and experts to rule over and basically save the planet because we will destroy it if left to our own devices.
00:18:01.580
It's important to mention that the ideologues believe they're doing good.
00:18:07.540
Then, of course, you add in the profiteers, the corporations and the greenwashers and all the other hangarons.
00:18:15.840
And there's a lot of money to be made when you're transferring.
00:18:19.280
But there are people who actually genuinely believe that they're doing the right thing here by taking away our freedom in order to manage us and save the planet, save public health, save us from viruses, save us from the climate, etc.
00:18:31.300
Yes. And the perfect transition into the conversation about what the elites or what the World Economic Forum is doing now is, well, I want to talk about this climate change conference that happened over the past few days in November that happened in Egypt.
00:18:47.960
And just to kind of piggyback on what you just said and to take us into the next part of this conversation, I want to play this clip from Klaus Schwab.
00:18:58.500
And here he is talking about what, you know, I've been reliably told is just a conspiracy theory.
00:19:04.440
And that is the great reset and the radical transformation of society.
00:19:10.360
What we have to confront is a deep, systemic, and structural restructuring of our world.
00:19:25.140
And the world will look differently after we have gone through this transition process.
00:19:33.360
So there is a lot more that he said along, you know, in that vein.
00:19:39.220
He's talking about radically restructuring society, as you said, for the benefit of everyone.
00:19:48.780
He's talking about us essentially giving up individual national sovereignty and giving up individual freedoms and turning over rule to experts.
00:19:59.020
In fact, at his meeting in Davos, he said he looked at everyone in the room.
00:20:02.200
And these are billionaires, millionaires, corporate heads, government bureaucrats, Hollywood celebrities, the royal family, Bill Gates.
00:20:08.560
He looked at everyone and he said, we have in this room, we get to decide the future of the planet.
00:20:14.420
I mean, that's the kind of maniacal James Bond villain attitude he actually has.
00:20:20.060
So what's significant, though, about this G20 speech you just played, Ali, he is now being treated as a head of state.
00:20:27.100
You have, let's see, you have Albania, you have France, you have the United States, Canada.
00:20:34.060
Oh, their president, Klaus Schwab, is here, too.
00:20:38.140
It's reached that level status at a G20 summit where he can go up there and talk about radical restructuring, systemic restructuring of the planet.
00:20:49.880
In fact, he had the same kind of local, I guess it was Indonesian, Garbon to match the other world leaders at this summit.
00:20:57.100
And what's amazing about that is how did he get to this position of power?
00:21:00.460
Well, in the book I go back, it's founded in 1971.
00:21:02.700
And the key to the way the World Economic Forum is so powerful, they found a way for businesses, academics, and lobbyists, and fundraisers to meet with politicians off the books, outside the purview of lobbying, regulators, any oversight.
00:21:20.580
And they have these annual meetings, and it's a free-for-all where you get corporations, government, celebrities, academia all together.
00:21:28.760
And they're meeting, they're talking, they're, I hate to use the word conspiring, but they're planning.
00:21:34.320
And this is how you end up with things like environment, social governance, ESG.
00:21:38.780
This is how you get up, how you end up with all these corporate mandates.
00:21:42.440
And what ultimately comes out of this, and this is the simplest way of looking at it, the Great Reset, the World Economic Forum, this whole agenda is to make it so we have no choice on some of the biggest questions of our lives.
00:21:55.500
We didn't get to vote on whether gas-powered cars would be banned.
00:21:58.760
That was done by the executive order of California.
00:22:01.020
Then the California Air Resources Board, unelected bureaucrats, came out with a timetable by 2035, banning it.
00:22:07.680
Then the Biden administration is now looking into executive orders and administrative stateways to ban the car.
00:22:12.800
Then the World Bank announced that they're going to stop financing gas-powered cars at the automaker level.
00:22:18.480
Then a big bank in Australia announced they're not going to give out car loans to people who want to buy gas-powered cars.
00:22:40.780
But all of this is happening because at these meetings, like the World Economic Forum and the United Nations,
00:22:45.620
they meet and they work with government corporate collusion to bypass democracy.
00:22:49.900
And then simple sentence, the Great Reset is basically making the once-free West copy the same model as one-party Chinese authoritarian rule.
00:23:01.360
They bypass democracy and impose stuff through this corporate government fascism.
00:23:11.620
There's no switchboards lighting up for a big vote.
00:23:20.460
Sorry, you need a vaccine to go into this place.
00:23:39.060
So you think, and I mean, you know through your research, you talked about this at the beginning,
00:23:44.040
the parallel between the conversation about COVID from these same people and the conversations about climate change,
00:23:51.100
they're almost identical, that we have to transform society and kind of lock people down.
00:23:56.260
And really control people's behavior in order to save people.
00:24:00.460
But as we saw in the lockdowns, that actually ended a lot of lives.
00:24:04.900
I just saw a study that showed that 1 million cancer diagnoses went missed, estimated, over the past couple of years
00:24:13.520
because people were told to stay home because they were scared to go to the doctor.
00:24:17.460
They didn't die from COVID, but they did end up dying from their cancer.
00:24:21.180
And so we would see the same thing if they got their way when it comes to these climate lockdowns
00:24:27.760
or the climate restrictions that they want to put in place.
00:24:30.100
We're already seeing some, as you just said, about not financing, you know, gas-powered cars.
00:24:36.320
But if they really got everything that they wanted, if they got completely open borders,
00:24:40.400
if they got no private property and no private ownership, and they really did just have,
00:24:45.680
I don't even know if you could call it communism, feudalism, I guess, is more accurate.
00:24:49.960
If they got all of that, if they completely defeated fossil fuels,
00:24:53.780
I mean, we are talking about the deaths of billions of people probably, right?
00:25:00.880
I mean, is that what they want, these kind of Malthusian people?
00:25:07.160
I think they're looking for essentially the current population to age and die off
00:25:13.620
Many of the people, and I interviewed Hans Schudenhuber, the German climate advisor,
00:25:17.440
who's at all these United Nations climate summits.
00:25:20.180
He's one of these people and many others who believe the carrying capacity of the earth
00:25:28.200
So they're talking about eventual elimination because the earth can't handle it,
00:25:32.860
species can't handle it, trees can't handle it, our natural ecosystems can't handle it,
00:25:37.040
the distribution systems of food and medicine can't handle it.
00:25:40.980
So they're ultimately trying to essentially, I guess the word would be manage the society.
00:25:47.560
They're not necessarily talking about killing, they're not talking about killing people now,
00:25:50.380
but they're talking about future generations really radically cutting back.
00:25:53.540
Now, the interesting thing is, if left to their own devices of market forces,
00:25:58.200
generally, like Al Gore was worried about African population being projected to be higher than
00:26:03.360
China and India combined, wealth and development is one of the most proven ways to lower population.
00:26:11.300
In fact, as a country gets wealthier, the number of kids that families have invariably drops.
00:26:16.340
We've seen it happen all over the world over the past few centuries,
00:26:19.040
and there's no reason to think that won't happen.
00:26:21.040
What's weird about it is they want to prevent that wealth under the name of somehow overpopulation fears
00:26:26.800
from countries, and that's what's happening in Africa.
00:26:29.680
It's a new form of colonialism that they're doing.
00:26:31.860
They're telling them they can't make the same mistakes that we made here in the West with fossil fuels
00:26:37.060
because they'll make the climate catastrophe worse.
00:26:39.080
So Africa can't make the same mistakes of development, cheap fossil fuels, wealth, longer life expectancy,
00:26:46.140
lower infant mortality, cleaner air, cleaner water, and better infrastructure.
00:26:53.100
Instead, you have to have wealthy white Westerners go in and tell them how to manage their economy.
00:26:58.260
And to make sure it happens, the UN sets up a climate slush fund that quite literally pays African
00:27:03.760
and South American leaders who are best able to keep their people locked in poverty.
00:27:08.340
In other words, the more poverty you have, the lower your emissions you are,
00:27:14.180
And that's what the UN, I've talked to development activists in South Africa about this.
00:27:17.700
They literally pay the governments and the leaders who are best able to keep their people locked in poverty,
00:27:23.120
and then they give this money, and of course, these leaders can then use it to ensure their own re-election.
00:27:30.160
And I mean, it's not only that that's happening there, but it's also that, as we've talked about several times
00:27:35.400
on this podcast, China, who is going into these poor nations in Africa and South America
00:27:46.620
hey, Ethiopia, we will build your railway and just go into debt.
00:27:51.420
You can pay us back later, knowing that Ethiopia can never pay them back,
00:27:55.660
or one of these poor countries in Africa can never pay them back.
00:27:58.660
And so they are basically under the rule, in some ways, of China.
00:28:04.700
Now, China is like an interesting component in all of this to me,
00:28:08.300
because obviously, they are one of the worst offenders when it comes to pollution,
00:28:15.400
and when it comes to a lot of the things that the people at the WEF say are bad,
00:28:24.020
And yet, they don't get the same chastisement as, say, the United States does.
00:28:31.240
And they don't get chastised at all for basically colonizing Africa and South America.
00:28:40.120
If we really care so much about the climate that they're willing to go to African countries
00:28:44.760
and lock people in poverty eternally for the sake of the environment,
00:28:55.720
China has, first of all, been admired by many in the West for decades.
00:29:00.080
So in the book, I go back decades and show the New York Times, Tom Friedman,
00:29:06.180
You have the UN Climate Chief, Christina Figueres,
00:29:08.760
praising the centralized rule of China and how they can get things done.
00:29:13.760
You have Justin Trudeau saying he has basic admiration for China's dictatorship.
00:29:19.180
So what happened with COVID lockdowns and what happened with trying to do with the Great Reset
00:29:23.300
is, again, turn the once-free West into one-party Chinese rule, Communist Party rule.
00:29:28.960
So the other thing that's happened is China is an unbelievable spending machine.
00:29:38.180
He made mention of Taiwan, and he had to do an apology where he said,
00:29:41.040
I'm sorry, like 27 times in like a two-minute video.
00:29:43.920
So there's a reason for that, and there's a reason environment, social governance,
00:29:47.580
which looks at your score with how you treat transgender, how you treat climate and energy
00:29:54.800
and how you treat critical race theory, and you get your ESG score.
00:29:59.780
There's a reason that's never applied to China, because it would be dead in the water if it was.
00:30:04.200
China's given a pass on all of this because China's funding politicians' campaigns,
00:30:09.160
China's funding Hollywood, China's funding sporting events, China's funding all this,
00:30:13.460
and they know, and they're also making everything.
00:30:15.800
Remember, back in the 1990s, we were told with these free trade deals,
00:30:19.360
which turned out, in my view, to be a disaster, that if we can do more trade with China
00:30:24.760
and they can get wealthy, they'll become more like us,
00:30:29.200
because they'll lose their dictatorship and they'll become a free place and free markets.
00:30:35.080
They gutted our industrial base, and then we're becoming more like China.
00:30:42.380
It showed that it worked in previous places, like in Soviet and Eastern Bloc and other countries.
00:30:48.900
But when it came to China, I think there was a different cultural history of China
00:30:53.320
So they gutted our industrial base, and what happens?
00:30:56.860
Now we're beholden to China, and we're becoming like them, copying the Chinese social credit system,
00:31:02.420
copying the one-party rule under emergency decree.
00:31:05.280
And that's basically how they're going to achieve Chinese one-party rule,
00:31:11.580
We're still living under the 9-11 terrorism emergency decree.
00:31:14.920
We're still living under the COVID emergency decree.
00:31:17.020
They just tried to have a vote, and Chuck Schumer accidentally voted against extending it.
00:31:24.360
But Biden is still ruling over this with an emergency decree of COVID.
00:31:28.920
But the reason China makes no sense is they talk about electric cars.
00:31:32.880
The governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, is on CNN being interviewed,
00:31:37.180
and they're asking him, like, oh, well, shouldn't we go green and be energy independent?
00:31:41.180
Going green means relying on China for 90% of our solar panels,
00:31:45.740
relying on China for lithium, cobalt, for mining in Africa with underage kids,
00:31:50.760
for more dependence on China, and making China wealthier
00:31:54.260
and more strategically and national security dominant over us.
00:31:58.100
The whole green agenda makes no sense in that regard,
00:32:01.160
because all it's doing is farming out our emissions to China.
00:32:05.980
And instead, we're set with the spectacle of Joe Biden begging OPEC in Venezuela,
00:32:11.180
and other nations for more energy instead of domestic energy.
00:32:19.940
And obviously, it's even a national security threat,
00:32:22.600
which is why I think a lot of the climate change propaganda actually comes from places like China,
00:32:29.980
It also benefits places like Russia, by the way, for kind of the same reasons.
00:32:34.980
I want to hear more about this conference in Egypt that happened from November 6th to November 18th.
00:32:45.520
I'm sure that you were watching, paying attention to what was being said.
00:32:49.000
Was there anything that stood out that you were like,
00:32:51.820
oh, wow, people need to know about that they're talking about?
00:32:58.060
And what's changed over the last two decades is this corporatization of these conferences.
00:33:02.900
So the biggest thing and the most totalitarian aspect of this UN Climate Summit in Sharm el-Sheikh Egypt,
00:33:11.300
because they're asking for climate reparations and more money.
00:33:13.880
Al Gore wants to spend $4 trillion annually to fight global warming.
00:33:19.560
Joe Biden shows up bragging about his $370 billion Inflation Reduction Act.
00:33:27.800
They've already moved well beyond that, which just goes to show you all this, you know,
00:33:31.240
oh, we need to do this to solve climate change.
00:33:43.200
Al Gore was talking about $4 trillion annually.
00:33:45.100
But the most totalitarian aspect was Al Gore partnering up with Google to announce the Climate Trace app
00:33:52.040
that is going to be immediately set up to trace, I think, 70,000 to 80,000 individual CO2 emitters globally.
00:34:01.460
And the stated goal is to help enforce United Nations climate goals, net zero.
00:34:06.440
This is really, Big Al is going to be watching us with Google.
00:34:10.480
And they're going to be, and keep in mind, humans inhale oxygen, we exhale carbon dioxide.
00:34:15.720
They're coming for the SUV in your driveway, your gas heater, your breath.
00:34:22.920
But this is modeled after COVID track and trace apps.
00:34:28.800
You'd go to a grocery store, but if you were in 10 feet of someone who may have tested positive the next day,
00:34:33.280
suddenly police show up at your door and you're in a quarantine camp for 10 to 12 days against your will.
00:34:38.120
This is Chinese social credit system from this conference, Google uniting with Al Gore.
00:34:43.540
Other news out of this was John Kerry at a World Economic Forum event,
00:34:48.640
literally announcing that we're going to use the same template we did in COVID to fight climate change.
00:34:54.380
And on top of that, the World Health Organization was there basically trying to declare climate the new public health threat.
00:35:01.480
And they're basically saying, and this is a whole new thing, Harvard School of Medicine, 230 medical journals,
00:35:06.480
unchecked climate change will lead to more COVIDs.
00:35:09.240
So now, if you don't support the climate agenda, the Green New Deal, you're a grandma killer because you're creating more viruses.
00:35:17.040
They also did all the youth delegations showed up, kids in their 20s bemoaning capitalism.
00:35:21.720
I went to an event with kids in elementary school who actually stated, why are we here at this conference?
00:35:27.060
We should be at the playground enjoying the swing set.
00:35:29.360
And of course, they really should be at the playground enjoying the swing set, not at a UN conference.
00:35:34.560
And then the other big news item was Mount Sinai, which is about two hours from the conference in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt,
00:35:41.040
was home to the smashing of Climate Ten Commandments and also a Climate Repentance Day earlier this week.
00:35:47.820
This is what passes for United Nations Climate Summit.
00:35:51.360
And this is, like Michael Crichton said, this is the new religion among urban atheists is climate and environment.
00:35:59.660
Yeah. And you know what? That's something that I was going to say is you're talking about how they view human beings.
00:36:08.620
We are either just factors of a virus or just emitters of CO2.
00:36:23.180
They don't care enough about the environment in their own lives.
00:36:27.700
But, I mean, they think that you and I and everyone else is so worthless that I guess we need to be depopulated,
00:36:35.180
but that they, I guess, are a part of some kind of chosen race.
00:36:41.560
And it is a very, I don't know what your faith is, but this is a Christian podcast.
00:36:46.500
It is a very anti-Christian way to think about human beings.
00:36:52.160
We believe that human beings are made in the image of God.
00:36:56.520
It doesn't matter how attractive you are, how rich you are, how poor you are.
00:37:00.500
Everyone, because they have a soul and because they were created by God, has not only value,
00:37:06.060
but also has rights, inherent rights as an individual.
00:37:09.360
That, of course, is the idea that laid the groundwork for the greatest nation in the world,
00:37:16.100
And so I think that is really why they hate the U.S.
00:37:24.400
That is what makes us an enemy of totalitarianism, or should anyway.
00:37:29.240
And it just strikes me how atheistic and how nihilistic these people's worldview is.
00:37:37.240
Even if they think that they are helping, they might not even realize that their assumptions
00:37:42.620
about how the world works and what morality is and what human beings are are so profoundly
00:37:51.680
And it just, it's really confounding to me how there are people in the West, people in
00:37:58.180
the United States, even Christians who are duped by this.
00:38:00.760
It is a religious ideology that is anti-Christian, anti-biblical, and it's going to have some really
00:38:12.440
In fact, you know, there was a whole, several panels on this Mount Sinai event that they
00:38:19.220
The Climate Repentance Day was essentially mimicking traditional religion by essentially
00:38:24.740
you go up and you apologize for your sins against the earth.
00:38:27.640
That could be anything from eating meat to driving an SUV to turning your thermostat too
00:38:32.400
warm, as we're finding out there's being a criminal penalty now in parts of Europe.
00:38:35.820
So this really is a, it's a, it's a new form of, it's a new form of religion.
00:38:41.980
They're replacing a sort of an earth worship and it's being administered by these international
00:38:50.140
This has been around for decades, this aspect, but it does seem, this was a very prominent
00:38:56.980
This whole idea of the Mount Sinai and the smashing of the tablets, and this was covered
00:39:02.540
Everyone just, everyone just thought it was a clever little, oh, what a great way to get
00:39:10.380
Conference also featured 400 private jets, which is really their new religion.
00:39:14.580
And also massive amounts of high-end gourmet meats with chefs flown in.
00:39:19.500
And this was, and this was all offered at the same time, the United Nations had reports
00:39:23.120
calling for the end of meat eating, for fake meat, for lab grown meat that you grow in a
00:39:30.100
And at the same, that's what they want us, the unwashed masses to eat, but they themselves
00:39:37.020
I have a whole report on that, on, on, on, on the lavish menus that were available for
00:39:49.500
So, Mark, there are so many other things that I would like to talk to you about.
00:39:57.520
Gosh, I could talk to you for another hour about this craziness, but I have to, I have
00:40:02.500
to end on somewhat of a hopeful note, because I got to say, whenever I talk about this stuff,
00:40:08.320
especially a great reset, which we're not supposed to even say, it just makes me feel
00:40:14.160
I mean, as you said, they're doing a lot of this stuff on democratically while, by the
00:40:19.460
way, saying that the people who want borders and who like the constitution or the fascists
00:40:24.880
who are anti-democracy, really, they are the ones that are pushing corporate fascism, but
00:40:30.620
But it makes me just feel really hopeless about, can this country change for the better?
00:40:38.700
What power do you and I have to change anything to push back on them?
00:40:44.860
Well, there's a few concrete things we can do that I'll give you the really hopeful
00:40:49.200
But the first thing we have to do is reform emergency powers, because in the United States
00:40:53.500
in particular, the way this great reset agenda was advanced, and then sadly, it was Donald
00:40:59.420
Trump who signed this emergency declaration, I think it was March 13th, and then it was
00:41:03.080
Donald Trump who did the 10 days to slow the spread.
00:41:05.140
Those two things together basically brought the great reset to America.
00:41:09.720
And what happened was, you now, as I mentioned, Biden is still under emergency powers as president.
00:41:15.580
All these governors, mayors are still under it.
00:41:18.900
In some places like Pennsylvania, they had to wrestle back.
00:41:22.840
You have to have specific criteria, expiring time limits, and you have to have people able
00:41:27.800
to vote on it, because that's the way they were able to do everything without a vote.
00:41:31.200
Closed schools, churches, businesses, mask mandates, vax mandates, stay-at-home orders, curfews,
00:41:39.740
Point number two is you have to resist at every level.
00:41:41.880
So my last chapter is about the great reject, the great resist.
00:41:47.380
The lowest level of politics had the most success in fighting back against all of this.
00:41:53.180
The local school board level, which is traditionally your first entry level of politics, was where
00:41:59.640
the anger of the parents upset about a combination of the COVID theater, masking, and social distancing,
00:42:05.260
along with critical race theory, and along with the transgender ideology, those parents
00:42:10.500
willing to be called domestic terrorists by the Justice Department, willing to get arrested
00:42:14.940
in some cases, they turned the election in Virginia.
00:42:18.500
We toppled the Democrat Party machine of Terry McAuliffe, which then triggered terror among
00:42:23.660
the National Democrats, which then led directly to focus groups.
00:42:27.760
And according to the New York Times, the toppling of mask and vaccine mandates in every major
00:42:32.200
liberal city from San Francisco, L.A., Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, New York, all because
00:42:36.980
of angry school board parents churning elections, not just in Virginia, but in New Jersey and
00:42:43.920
Well, that's the kind of power we have to fight back.
00:42:58.660
I don't think there's any vote in America where people said, we want a vaccine mandate.
00:43:02.300
I don't remember anyone actually voting on it, maybe recently in some liberal areas, but
00:43:09.500
And there's a lot of hope as long as we resist.
00:43:11.220
I feature the words of Václav Klaas, the former Czech president who grew up under communism,
00:43:16.860
And he said, you know, it wasn't called social distancing when he was in the Soviet, when
00:43:21.200
he was under Soviet domination, but it was the same thing.
00:43:23.280
They didn't want you to meet, congregate, plan.
00:43:27.540
And that's really what they did to us with COVID.
00:43:29.240
That, of course, led to the Black Lives Riot because you had everyone locked down and it
00:43:36.440
As you mentioned, they created the health problems, suicide, depression, delayed medical
00:43:41.180
treatments, the development problems with kids and masks.
00:43:45.160
The World Health Organization, World UN has, the World, the UN's organization, global organization
00:43:51.280
has talked about up to 40 million people going starving now in the developing world, all because
00:44:02.280
And I think anger, resistance, and changing the narrative.
00:44:06.460
And we really need a Republican Party to come on.
00:44:08.680
I'm disappointed in our National Republican Party leadership for being relatively silent
00:44:12.660
on vax mandates and mask mandates and all the COVID lockdowns.
00:44:19.000
That's why it's not that exciting they're taking over the Congress.
00:44:30.040
The majority of them just really haven't said anything about it.
00:44:33.640
There really have only been a few governors, even Republican governors who have.
00:44:40.900
Another thing that they're obviously trying to do is to drive us into isolation and to
00:44:45.800
depend less on each other and more on the government.
00:44:48.300
Of course, that has been kind of a left wing movement for a long time, but especially from
00:44:56.840
I mean, we have grown in isolation and loneliness as a country over the past several decades,
00:45:02.240
but they don't want you to depend on your family.
00:45:06.420
They don't want you to depend on your church and on your community.
00:45:12.400
They left tobacco and abortion shops open and anything that made money, they left open.
00:45:20.520
And so we do have an active role to play in kind of resisting that isolated people are
00:45:32.500
And also understanding that at the end of the day, God is good and he is in control and
00:45:37.900
he is bigger than Klaus Schwab in the World Economic Forum.
00:45:45.080
Where can they find your book and your website and all that good stuff?
00:45:47.480
Well, I'm at ClimateDepot, D-E-P-O-T dot com, and I'm on Twitter at ClimateDepot as well.
00:45:54.060
The book is The Great Reset and it just came out in August and I tried to make the book
00:46:04.440
It goes through George Carlin jokes, Bill Maher.
00:46:06.860
I have a whole chapter devoted to the new politics.
00:46:11.960
I welcome with open arms people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the feminist Naomi Wolf, who used
00:46:16.500
to work for Clinton Gore, people like Russell Brand, who was a Hollywood socialist.
00:46:20.260
They've all come around and they're actively fighting the forces of The Great Reset and
00:46:24.340
this massive transfer of power and wealth to the top from the middle class.
00:46:39.880
And I do encourage everyone to go out and get your book and to check out your website and
00:46:44.680
And thank you so much for taking the time to come on.
