00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, today the Charlie Kirk show.
00:00:02.000 Flights are grounded across America, but at least you have a gay Secretary of Transportation.
00:00:06.000 Got Pete Buttigieg, who's in charge.
00:00:09.000 We go deep, though, into how wokeism is incompatible with merit and competency.
00:00:16.000 And then Michael O'Fallon joins our program to talk about how travel is in the crosshairs of the World Economic Forum.
00:00:26.000 A very interesting, compelling, and unique argument.
00:00:30.000 I think you're going to love it.
00:00:31.000 Email me freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:00:32.000 Get involved at turningpointusa at tpusa.com.
00:00:36.000 That is tpusa.com.
00:00:38.000 Buckle up, everybody, here.
00:00:40.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:40.000 We go.
00:00:42.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.
00:00:44.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:48.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:51.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:52.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:53.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:55.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:01.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:10.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:13.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:22.000 We have a lot of news to get to, but let's dive right into it.
00:01:25.000 I want to play Cut 52.
00:01:27.000 The FAA, the Federal Aviation Administration, is having a tough day for millions of people that are trying to travel across the country.
00:01:36.000 They have been grounded.
00:01:38.000 Flights have been suspended.
00:01:40.000 Now, there are some flights being resumed, thankfully, but there are still over 10,000 flight delays across the country.
00:01:47.000 Let's play Cut 52.
00:01:48.000 The FAA tweeting it is, quote, experiencing an outage with its notice-to-air missions system, which provides critical flight safety operation information.
00:01:57.000 We are closely monitoring the situation, which impacts all airlines and working with the FAA to minimize disruption to our operation and customers.
00:02:05.000 We encourage customers to check AA.com for the latest flight information.
00:02:10.000 Now, the question that many people have is what is causing this?
00:02:13.000 Is it some sort of a cyber attack?
00:02:16.000 Is it a hack?
00:02:17.000 It could be.
00:02:17.000 The government is saying it's not, but it could be the Chinese Communist Party retaliating against the House Republicans that have just set up a subcommittee that is expressly anti-CCP.
00:02:28.000 And by the way, I don't know if the House Republicans are going to be able to keep up this pace, but they are posting win after win after win.
00:02:36.000 Could be that they're just getting all the conservative stuff out of the way first, or it could be that a new boss is in Washington, D.C. in the House of Representatives, because the amount of wins that we have seen in the last 24 hours makes anything that Paul Ryan and John Boehner did seem like almost nothing from committees to kicking people off committees, Elon the Ingram, Eric Swawell, the Fang Fang lover, and many others.
00:02:59.000 We're going to get into that.
00:03:01.000 But it could be the Chinese Communist Party is retaliating via a cyber attack against the FAA no TAMS system because of that committee.
00:03:13.000 That is probably unlikely, though.
00:03:15.000 We have no evidence of that.
00:03:16.000 It's pure speculation.
00:03:18.000 It's trying to connect one event to the other.
00:03:21.000 I'm not willing to discount it, but I don't think that's the case.
00:03:25.000 Instead, what is more likely is who's in charge?
00:03:29.000 Well, the person who's in charge of the Department of Transportation was picked solely because of his sexual preference.
00:03:37.000 Pete Buttigeg was a failed presidential candidate.
00:03:41.000 He probably should have won Iowa.
00:03:43.000 Now, hilariously, Pete Buttigej was robbed of a Iowa caucus victory speech because of machine failures.
00:03:54.000 Do you remember this?
00:03:55.000 In the Democrat primary in January of 2020 in Iowa, remember it was machines that were unable to count votes effectively.
00:04:05.000 Really makes you think.
00:04:07.000 January 2020, Pete Buttigieg was the hottest presidential candidate, but a lot of his momentum seemed to just be hijacked and taken away.
00:04:16.000 Anyway, so Pete Buttigieg, who is nothing more than a spokesperson for a Huxleyan, dystopian, technocratic, machine-centered agenda.
00:04:27.000 He'll do whatever the technocrats wish and what they want.
00:04:32.000 He was selected because of his sexual lifestyle choices.
00:04:37.000 So when you hire personnel based on lifestyle or melanin content, you should not be shocked.
00:04:44.000 No one should be surprised when things start to fall apart.
00:04:48.000 This is affirmative action at the top level.
00:04:50.000 We said that with Pete Buttigieg.
00:04:51.000 And by the way, Pete Buttigieg took all this time out to allegedly try to breastfeed his adopted kid.
00:04:57.000 The whole thing is so, I don't know if it's adopted or if it's a surrogate kid.
00:04:59.000 I don't want to speak out of turn.
00:05:01.000 But chest feed is what they called it.
00:05:04.000 Pete Buttigieg being head of transportation secretary has been a repeated and flagrant effort to try to show you that the norms of having people in positions of power based on competency or experience, we are retiring that tradition.
00:05:22.000 Instead, we're going to have someone that has sexual preferences that are in alignment with what the regime wishes.
00:05:30.000 They're prioritizing characteristics that are completely and totally irrelevant.
00:05:34.000 Now, the FAA currently has no head.
00:05:37.000 Now, the FAA is a division of the Department of Transportation, has no head because Biden put a nominee up, Philip A. Washington, a black man, who has no qualifications whatsoever.
00:05:49.000 He drew scrutiny from people in both parties over his aviation experience and an involvement in a corruption increase.
00:05:56.000 So Biden keeps on putting up these affirmative action selections, Philip Washington, Pete Buttigeg, and we should be shocked.
00:06:04.000 We should be somehow surprised when our critical infrastructure falls apart.
00:06:09.000 You see, remember, we had that Sam Brinton, the luggage thief, who is running our nuclear waste, nuclear, I think it was nuclear waste or nuclear energy part of the Department of Energy, something like disposal of nuclear waste.
00:06:22.000 Disposal, got it.
00:06:25.000 We have the rear admiral of the Levine, whatever, that entire clown show.
00:06:32.000 The guy who's running the monkeypox response is some quasi-I don't want to speak out of turn, but quasi-like Satanist kink feticist.
00:06:47.000 Very strange.
00:06:50.000 You see, this virus of synthetic progress has taken over every major institution.
00:06:57.000 And so now we're at a place where our country, what we need to just to be able to operate to get planes in the air, are put in jeopardy because we have surrendered the conversation and the narrative to the alphabet mafia.
00:07:16.000 Let's go to Cut 53.
00:07:18.000 What is NOTAMS?
00:07:20.000 What exactly is going on here?
00:07:21.000 Play Cut 53.
00:07:22.000 He says, apparently this grounding is because of, and this is an acronym for something I've never heard of before: N-O-T-A-M-S, which is a non-emergency advisory system to notify pilots before they take off about issues that will impact the fight.
00:07:39.000 Apparently, that thing right now is down.
00:07:41.000 The big question is, why?
00:07:43.000 It's very important that we emphasize that wokeism and merit are incompatible.
00:07:51.000 They cannot coexist.
00:07:52.000 fact, they are opposites.
00:07:55.000 They are distinct polar opposites.
00:07:58.000 Western civilization is the wealthiest, most prosperous, most decent human experiment in self-government in the history of the human species.
00:08:10.000 Why?
00:08:11.000 Because there was an elevation always of the human being over immutable tribal characteristics.
00:08:20.000 We don't care.
00:08:22.000 What your skin color is.
00:08:23.000 We don't care what your sexual preference is.
00:08:27.000 Can you do the job?
00:08:29.000 This is a very simple thing that most Americans agree with, and it is over.
00:08:34.000 Remember, this that came from your taxpayer-funded dollars from the Smithsonian magazine that said the aspects of white culture, having a strong family, they say, is white culture.
00:08:48.000 Having the scientific method, competition, Protestant work ethic, religion, status, power, and authority, showing up on time.
00:08:57.000 This is the national, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
00:09:03.000 And the Biden regime does not seem as if they are not communicating like this is a mistake.
00:09:09.000 This is progress.
00:09:11.000 They're basically trying to tell you without saying it bluntly, guys, who cares if you can't fly around?
00:09:17.000 We have a gay transportation secretary.
00:09:20.000 Look at how advanced we are.
00:09:22.000 Look at how enlightened we are.
00:09:25.000 This is going to happen with our military.
00:09:27.000 We can't get planes in the air.
00:09:29.000 How are we supposed to fight the Chinese Communist Party?
00:09:33.000 Let's have a head of the FAA who's a black dude who has no idea what he's doing.
00:09:40.000 We have a gender non-binary head of nuclear waste disposal.
00:09:43.000 We have a head of our southern border, Kamala Harris, and or Mayorkis that have no idea what they're doing.
00:09:52.000 Hey, but they do have skin color that fits our narrative.
00:10:00.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.

00:11:02.000 Friedrich Nietzsche had a quote where he said, every society has a central piety of which you are not allowed to make fun of.
00:11:12.000 That humor cannot penetrate.
00:11:14.000 That there is something that you are not even allowed to mock or to condemn or snare at.
00:11:18.000 You are allowed to mock white straight Christians.
00:11:22.000 You're allowed to mock the Bible.
00:11:23.000 You're allowed to mock Donald Trump.
00:11:25.000 You are allowed to mock conservatives.
00:11:27.000 You're allowed to mock capitalists.
00:11:28.000 You're allowed to mock libertarians.
00:11:30.000 You're allowed to mock Kevin McCarthy.
00:11:33.000 You're allowed to mock all those people.
00:11:34.000 But as you move closer and closer to certain categories, you are not allowed to mock, to have humor against them.
00:11:44.000 And Nietzsche argued that that is how you know What the society actually values at the top of the hierarchy.
00:11:55.000 The closer you get to the central pieties, the closer you are at what is actually running the mission control of society.
00:12:03.000 Now, one of the central pieties that you are not allowed to touch is race.
00:12:10.000 And if I were to give some feedback to conservatives of all colors, but in particular, white conservatives, the amount of white guilt, the discomfort that Christian, that conservatives have, sometimes Christians, about this issue, gives you Pete Buttigieg.
00:12:30.000 You might say, what?
00:12:31.000 How does one thing lead to the other?
00:12:33.000 When you have a fake issue that you are somehow uncomfortable to respond to because you might be called a racist or you might be called a bigot, then all of a sudden, their dangerous solution is able to be slid in.
00:12:47.000 I'll give you an example.
00:12:49.000 I was reading a book, and I am going to read this paragraph on air.
00:12:53.000 I just forgot to bring it to the studio.
00:12:55.000 And it's a book about why you need to unhurry your life.
00:12:59.000 It's actually a very well-written book.
00:13:01.000 Well, I shouldn't say that.
00:13:01.000 It's not that well-written.
00:13:03.000 It has a lot of wisdom in it.
00:13:04.000 It's by this guy, John Comer, who's a cool kid pastor from Portland, giving it to by a dear friend of mine.
00:13:10.000 He said, Charlie, read the book.
00:13:11.000 I'm getting a lot out of it, except for the fact he humble brags through the whole thing.
00:13:14.000 It's literally about slowing down your life.
00:13:16.000 It's some great arguments in there, a lot of wisdom.
00:13:18.000 And out of nowhere, on page 67, he says, Now it might be very hard to unhurry your life if you are not a white cisgendered heterosexual Christian man.
00:13:29.000 I said, What the?
00:13:30.000 Where did that come from?
00:13:32.000 I'm reading a book on how you need to slow down your life.
00:13:35.000 And he says, One of the ways that you might struggle to unhurry your life is if you're a black person, that you're privileged to be able to slow down your life.
00:13:42.000 And I say, What?
00:13:44.000 And I recognize at that moment, it's a book on a completely different topic, completely different topic.
00:13:51.000 That all of a sudden he introduces identity politics into it.
00:13:54.000 And I actually think he believes it.
00:13:58.000 He believes that white people have some sort of institutional privilege, and it is a lie.
00:14:04.000 It's not just a little lie, it is a racist, bigoted lie.
00:14:08.000 And because he lives in Portland, he is surrounded by so many white people that are afraid to speak truth about race.
00:14:17.000 That, hey, it's actually not about skin color.
00:14:20.000 Maybe it's about fatherlessness or some very serious issues with black culture.
00:14:27.000 Can't say that.
00:14:28.000 No, you just got to blame the white guy.
00:14:31.000 And the failure to reject the premise, the inability to push back on the big lie, then gives the left, gives the collectivists a green light to be able to implement the garbage of putting Pete Buttigieg in charge.
00:14:55.000 You might say, who are they?
00:14:57.000 The they is the regime.
00:14:58.000 This is very important.
00:15:00.000 Rich people that want to continue their plunder on the middle class use abstract academic ideas to distract from the fact they're stealing your money.
00:15:12.000 That's wokeism.
00:15:15.000 Wokeism is smokescreen.
00:15:18.000 Wokeism is a synthetic layer that has been put in front of our discussion so that they continue to have institutional and media power.
00:15:31.000 You could call it a shield.
00:15:32.000 You could call it the iron dome of wokeism.
00:15:36.000 And so instead of talking about the fact that we do not have a functioning airline network, FAA, no, no, no, we have to celebrate that Pete Boot Edge Edge is gay and chest feeds in charge of the FAA.
00:15:53.000 Most conservatives are afraid to say that out loud because they don't want to be called anti-gay.
00:16:00.000 How about this?
00:16:01.000 I'm pro-competency.
00:16:03.000 I'm pro-merit.
00:16:05.000 I'm pro-people being able to fly from Phoenix to Dallas without having to wonder whether or not the no TAMS system is going to be operable.
00:16:15.000 The greatest, wealthiest country ever to exist in the history of the world will cease being that if we stop prioritizing competency and instead elevate completely insignificant characteristics.

00:17:33.000 Joining us now is Michael O'Fallon from Sovereign Nations.
00:17:38.000 Michael, welcome back to the program.
00:17:40.000 Thank you for making time on short notice.
00:17:43.000 So Michael, you told me a couple of weeks ago, you said, Charlie, expect changes in travel because travel means freedom.
00:17:52.000 We are now seeing major issues.
00:17:55.000 I don't know if it's intentional or a cyber attack or what it is, but it does play into your warning, your premonition that there are going to be massive disruptions in travel.
00:18:07.000 Why would the world's elites care about travel?
00:18:11.000 Well, freedom of movement, just like everything.
00:18:14.000 You know, let's think about some of the things that are happening around us right now.
00:18:17.000 When we talk about the fact that the state of New York and as well, other systems are going after gas ovens, right?
00:18:24.000 The whole idea is that with a gas oven, not with all of them, but with a good portion of them, is that you can start a gas oven yourself.
00:18:30.000 If you have gas, you can cook, you can cook your own food.
00:18:34.000 There's no centralized authority that can tell you we're going to switch off your electricity, which is where they want to move everybody, you know, across the nation.
00:18:41.000 It's the same thing that's happening, let's say, in Europe in terms of food, with the production of food and so forth.
00:18:47.000 If you eliminate the ability for people to grow their own food, for farmers to be able to then distribute that food, if the state takes over that food and then has control, then you funnel everybody into a one decision side of things to where they have to rely upon the government to be able to give them permission or not give them permission to be able to eat or enjoy the fruits of their labor.
00:19:08.000 The same thing would be happening with the freedom of movement.
00:19:11.000 Most of everything that you can see happening around you right now is funneling us towards a point where once again, we have a de facto credit system being put in place, much like what you would have in China.
00:19:22.000 As you're aware, China, depending on your behavior, whether you've been saying good things about the government, whether you've been doing what you can to be a good citizen, either you can jump on that train that goes to Shanghai at 12, or maybe you can't.
00:19:35.000 You know, maybe you can stay in that five-star hotel, but maybe you've been saying some critical things about Xi Jinping.
00:19:40.000 Maybe you can't.
00:19:41.000 Well, the same sort of systems are coming to us here in the United States based upon environmental, social, and governments.
00:19:48.000 Are you someone who's taken care of making sure that your carbon footprint is low, making sure that you're doing what you can do to help the social causes that are going around us?
00:19:58.000 Social justice, critical social justice, making sure that disparities within our civilization are lessened.
00:20:04.000 And as well, are you obeying the government?
00:20:06.000 So these systems have to be put in place.
00:20:09.000 But first, what you must do is you must disrupt and dismantle the old systems.
00:20:15.000 You must break the old systems.
00:20:17.000 Once you break the old systems, it gives you the opportunity to put new systems in place.
00:20:21.000 And so, whether it be what's happening today, which started, I guess, more or less last night within the air travel industry, where it's basically unprecedented.
00:20:30.000 You haven't seen a complete shutdown of things since what 2001.
00:20:35.000 So in 2001, you saw a complete shutdown for about four to five days before the reinstatement of travel.
00:20:41.000 You saw again 9/11, correct?
00:20:43.000 Basically, okay.
00:20:45.000 But even during COVID, they didn't completely shut down air travel because people still had to get to where they need to go, especially antifa protesters in 2020 before the election of Joe Biden.
00:20:56.000 So you had to make sure that people were able to get from one side of the country to the other.
00:21:00.000 But now, what you're doing is you're moving the entire industry.
00:21:04.000 And if we had time, we could go into how hotels, how airlines, how cruise travel this is really, this is really important.
00:21:11.000 And I want to also boost your credibility here, Michael.
00:21:13.000 You were and are in the elite travel industry for decades.
00:21:18.000 I mean, you help create incredible experiences that bring five-star trips of people all across Europe and Asia.
00:21:27.000 You are, I feel like this is an under-service to your career, but you know, the travel agent world.
00:21:35.000 Am I summarizing that correctly?
00:21:36.000 I mean, you know what you've worked with the big hotels, you work with the big airlines, you work, you sit on the major boards.
00:21:43.000 And so explain that a little bit more, Michael, because you're not just saying this as a spectator.
00:21:47.000 You've actually been in the rooms where some of these ideas have been proposed.
00:21:52.000 Right.
00:21:53.000 Since about 2003, I've been fully involved within the cruise industry, the tour industry, the convention and event industry.
00:22:00.000 I've been at all the major meetings, whether it be IMEX, which happens in Frankfurt or in Las Vegas, at IBTM recently in Barcelona, where the main focus of IBTM was: hey, everybody's got to get on board with ESG and as well.
00:22:14.000 You might want to start guiding all of your clients towards hyper-real travel or virtual travel.
00:22:19.000 So they're basically telling travel agents that you need to prepare your customers to not be thinking about traveling so much within the next eight to 10 years.
00:22:28.000 So this has been going on really and being talked about loudly within the travel industry since about 2009, but much more so since 2015 and 2016 with the rollout of the 17 sustainable goals that would be reaching us or propelling us towards 2030.
00:22:46.000 So within the entire travel industry, most of the major travel providers to some extent are controlled by we would just say the controlling boards or board positions would be with BlackRock, Vanguard, or State Street.
00:23:00.000 Right.
00:23:00.000 So there's, I guess the question is then, Michael, didn't mean to interrupt, but if BlackRock is trying to change travel, why are they investing more into travel?
00:23:07.000 I mean, that's where I'm a little bit confused, right?
00:23:10.000 They're pouring money into hotels and travel experiences.
00:23:14.000 So, I mean, what is the plan or the strategy here?
00:23:18.000 Well, basically, you look past 2030.
00:23:20.000 First of all, there needs to be an everybody in who's committed to doing this and making these systemic changes across all of civilization.
00:23:29.000 Everybody has to be on board.
00:23:31.000 So, whether you have an airline, whether you have a hotel, whether you're in the automobile industry, you have to be all in with making sure that we disrupt what's currently here and then rebuild according to our new systems.
00:23:45.000 So, it's a long-term project, but what has to happen first is there's short-term pain.
00:23:50.000 So, that short-term pain is going from an economy, let's say of 2019.
00:23:55.000 And Charlie, you remember, 2019 was the economy of abundance.
00:24:00.000 You know, it was the result of the Trump economy that everybody was enjoying.
00:24:06.000 Then, all of a sudden, now we're in going into an economy of scarcity, where it's difficult to get things, or things are so pricey that only if you can actually afford to buy them.
00:24:17.000 Well, the same thing's happening now in travel to where airline costs, of course, being able to take a flight, let's say from Phoenix to Orlando, is becoming astronomical, but then also that product is becoming less because less people are going to be able to afford it.
00:24:31.000 Yeah, that's correct.
00:24:32.000 So, yeah, so that's the natural curve of things.
00:24:35.000 So, it is, and this is a theme, it is crisis creators.
00:24:42.000 So, never let a crisis go to waste, but you have to first have the crisis itself.
00:24:46.000 And we see that with currency, we saw that with COVID, we saw that with the lockdowns.
00:24:52.000 So, in some sense, you're arguing that in order for this dialectic to proceed, they need to create a collision.
00:25:01.000 They need to create tension, crisis, bedlam, chaos, uncertainty.
00:25:07.000 Is that your current perspective?
00:25:09.000 And is that what you think is happening this morning, or do you think what is happening this morning is just good old-fashioned incompetency?
00:25:17.000 Well, there's always a little bit of both, but what's happening right now is that you're encouraging an incompetence incompetency.
00:25:23.000 When you take a look, what happened across this nation when it came to our supply chain issues and our logistics issues is that much of that was created out of policies that are meant to break the system and then recreate the system.
00:25:37.000 Let's say just getting products from, let's say, the port at Long Beach or anywhere in Los Angeles to someplace in the West Coast.
00:25:45.000 Well, what they're after is developing the Chinese system, where most of the ports in China, either they are already at no worker necessary ports where there's nobody actually at the port site operating anything from the trucks to the cranes to unloading anything else is fully AI automated.
00:26:05.000 So, you don't have to worry about longshore unions and so forth.
00:26:09.000 They want to get to that point.
00:26:11.000 They want to get to that point as well with the rest of the travel industry and as well to make travel a privilege as opposed to something that is a right of freedom of movement that you can earn basically on what money you own and where you want to go.
00:26:26.000 I've traveled all over the world.
00:26:28.000 I mean, you've done 10 times travel I've done, but I'm in every 50 state twice over.
00:26:32.000 And travel is liberating.
00:26:36.000 I think it cultures you.
00:26:37.000 I think it humbles you.
00:26:39.000 I think it broadens your perspective.
00:26:41.000 I actually think that if you travel enough, you cannot be, well, and that's not true.
00:26:46.000 It's very unlikely that you remain a collectivist or a statist.
00:26:49.000 The more cultures you see and the more diff you realize that decentralized power and sovereign nations are critical.
00:26:56.000 I really, I think there are deeper spiritual dimensions to this beyond just freedom and liberty.
00:27:03.000 I think that a traveling people is an active people.
00:27:07.000 They are a humble people.
00:27:08.000 They are more likely to be connected to the divine.
00:27:11.000 What is the moral importance of being able to have the freedom to travel?
00:27:14.000 What does society look like when they're not able to see other cultures' perspectives, hear other languages, or explore other ideas?
00:27:22.000 Feudal and siloed.
00:27:25.000 In other words, you don't have the ability to have discourse with other cultures that maybe come into conflict with what you've been raised in or the way that you know things to be.
00:27:34.000 It helps you to expand and to have a greater knowledge of how other people live and other people think.
00:27:40.000 So that invades your cognitions and it allows you to create discourse with others in order to share the good things that you know.
00:27:48.000 And as well, for them to share the things that work for them to be able to find better ways of doing things.
00:27:53.000 When you begin to lock down travel and stop travel, you basically begin to create, again, that feudal system where people that are locked into the way that they think things should be, or they're told the way that they think that things should be.
00:28:09.000 And so that ends up really breaking down our ability to have just natural relations with other people.
00:28:15.000 But yes, as you said, Charlie, being able to go someplace, let's say on a pilgrimage for your faith, like Israel, let's say, that can be so mind-expanding because now you're seeing the pages of the Bible come to life.
00:28:27.000 I just brought 200 people to Israel just a few months ago.
00:28:31.000 And what's wonderful to see is that more so in the Mediterranean, most of the countries there are much more free about letting people in currently into their countries than the United States is right now.
00:28:43.000 The United States is the only one that actually still has a vaccine mandate to enter the country.
00:28:48.000 And it makes you think, I mean, the Soviet Union, I mean, North Korea is the most extreme modern example that we have of what happens when people aren't allowed to leave.
00:28:55.000 I'm not saying that's going to happen anytime soon.
00:28:57.000 I don't want to fearmonger.
00:28:59.000 But the Soviet Union andor other countries that have some variation of either it's too expensive or you're unable to leave your country, it becomes very isolated, as you say, very insular.
00:29:09.000 And it's actually perplexing.
00:29:11.000 And help me understand this, Michael.
00:29:13.000 So here we have the World Economic Forum that's meeting next week in Davos that's going to be talking about globalism and a global world, all the while making it harder to see the global world.
00:29:25.000 Help me understand.
00:29:28.000 Well, to be able to control people and to control them globally within a supranational context, you need to first control them feudally.
00:29:35.000 In other words, like if you were to go to, let's say, Oxfordshire this past November, is that when you had to cancel, sorry.
00:29:44.000 If you arrived there, what you would have seen is that Oxfordshire is being transitioned into a 15-minute city.
00:29:50.000 And so within Oxford itself, they're saying, okay, by August of 2023, if you go beyond these parameters that we're setting, such as being able to travel more than three or four times a month for these distances, you need to be able to contain your travel within the shire itself.
00:30:11.000 Well, then there's going to be a price to pay.
00:30:13.000 There'll be penalties for that.
00:30:15.000 Also, not letting larger vehicles come into the center of the city and so forth during certain periods.
00:30:20.000 The same thing is beginning to happen right now and being talked about, being implemented in London.
00:30:25.000 So a lot of the things that you would have seen during the Extinction Rebellion protests back in 2019, October, are now being implemented in other cities across the UK, Australia, and as well, Europe and the United States.
00:30:36.000 So what they're going to try to do is restrict travel, be able to basically, you know, if you want to say this, create subnation states or feudal states where people are concentrated and controllable.
00:30:51.000 Yes, like anger games, where you have different districts.
00:30:54.000 I saw that for the first time last night.
00:30:56.000 Was that not powerful?
00:30:57.000 I try to tell people.
00:30:58.000 I mean, most people look at the hunger games like, oh, wow, you know, Jennifer Lawrence, nice action.
00:31:03.000 There are some very powerful psychological and biblical elements that they just carbon copied into a rather compelling story.
00:31:11.000 But sorry, continue, Michael.
00:31:12.000 What districts and hunger games?
00:31:13.000 Yeah.
00:31:14.000 So, I mean, I think they're in District 12.
00:31:15.000 Like, it's fresh in my mind.
00:31:16.000 Just saw it last night.
00:31:18.000 So, what you're basically seeing happen, though, is that the idea of travel will be privileged.
00:31:24.000 And so whether it's not a question of necessarily how much money you have, but what sort of obedience you're putting into it.
00:31:31.000 That's exactly right.
00:31:32.000 As we move into a universal basic.
00:31:35.000 And let me tell you how this, and I had a breakthrough during my multi-day Sabbath when I turned off my phone.
00:31:41.000 I said, how are they going to pay for the debt and all this?
00:31:43.000 They have to raise taxes.
00:31:45.000 In the future, taxes will be decided based on your social credit score.
00:31:50.000 So you could be rich and be exempt.
00:31:52.000 That's why the rich are going to be okay with higher taxes as long as they're obedient to LGBT, ESG.
00:32:01.000 We are going to have tax policy in the future that will be based on your social credit score.
00:32:06.000 And that's why you're seeing the travel industry begin to conform to that ESG model.
00:32:10.000 Social credit system.
00:32:13.000 Mao is ahead of the curve, unfortunately, on this.
00:32:15.000 We'll talk about how to fight against that.
00:32:17.000 Michael, I want you on the show next week.
00:32:19.000 So plan on that on the first day of Davos.
00:32:21.000 We're doing a whole special on it because you know that better than anybody else.
00:32:24.000 Michael, God bless you, sovereign nations.
