00:00:00.000 Hey, today's a great, great program. We have Megan Kelly on to talk about her meeting Putin.
00:00:05.160 She's met him a couple of times. What does she think is really going on? Also, we talk a little
00:00:11.860 bit about your gas price and what we really should be doing. Michael Schellenberger is
00:00:17.980 joining us for our two of the podcast and the State of the Union address.
00:00:25.700 It's going to be a lot of fun. Maybe they'll touch on the supply chain issues. And by the way,
00:00:30.300 you may have thought there were problems with our supply chain, but I can tell you right now,
00:00:34.200 The Great Reset is in bookstores for the first time in months.
00:00:37.480 Yeah, no problem. No problem. We just needed to get some paper.
00:00:41.400 It's a good problem to have, Glenn. No, it's not.
00:00:43.740 Yeah, no, it's great. So you can get it now in bookstores. Also, you can read the first chapter
00:00:47.940 online for free at glennsnewbook.com and find out wherever you can get it. Check it out there.
00:00:53.340 Also, I want to tell you tonight for the State of the Union at youtube.com slash stewdoesamerica.
00:00:58.360 I'm going to be doing live coverage, walking you through these moments, watching it along
00:01:03.720 with you. Watch the State of the Union with me on YouTube, youtube.com slash stewdoesamerica.
00:01:08.240 I'll be making wise-ass comments throughout and doing a little bit of a live fact check
00:01:13.120 as well, which it needs. So check it out.
00:01:16.200 I'm sure all the facts are going to be right on. He's created more jobs than any other president.
00:01:22.280 Oh, he's going to say that. The bragging about the economy is going to be the hardest thing
00:01:26.840 to take.
00:01:27.440 Well, no, I think he can outdo himself.
00:01:29.820 We'll see.
00:01:30.440 He can outdo himself.
00:01:31.140 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:01:46.180 So let me just give you a couple of tweets.
00:01:49.780 Russia has leveraged an economy half the size of Germany's to end the post-Cold War era
00:01:55.360 and defeat NATO. It did so with aggression, natural gas, and nuclear. America must produce 0.95
00:02:02.380 massively more nuclear, natural gas, and oil, or the liberal democratic Western civilization
00:02:09.340 is dead. It's civilizational suicide. Everyone has been asleep. It is time to wake up.
00:02:18.040 That tweet is from Michael Schellenberger, who is on the phone with us now. Hi, Michael.
00:02:22.320 How are you? Great. Great to be with you, Glenn.
00:02:25.080 So, you know, tonight with the State of the Union, they're going to go on and on. They
00:02:30.080 can't pass the Build Back Better bill, so they're going to take all of the green energy stuff and
00:02:35.900 rename it and try to pass it through. Can you please explain to the audience what you think
00:02:44.360 these things are going to do?
00:02:46.360 Well, it's going to be a terrible effect on the economy, potentially on the environment.
00:02:50.880 I mean, we're in the worst energy crisis in world history since 1973, and it's going to
00:02:57.920 get worse, much worse. And I don't think people are aware of just how serious the political
00:03:04.560 situation is. We could see the president restrict oil exports, which might be justified in the
00:03:11.660 future because of rising oil prices, but then that would put much of the world and much of
00:03:19.020 Europe. It would strengthen Putin's hand to basically sell oil to those countries that
00:03:24.860 were quiet about his invasion of Ukraine. We basically have engaged in wishful thinking
00:03:32.380 about trying to rely on weather-dependent renewables, solar panels and wind turbines specifically.
00:03:39.000 When you need reliable sources of energy, and the two best that we have are nuclear energy
00:03:45.880 and natural gas, and both of those technologies have been so restricted by progressives that
00:03:52.820 it left Europe dependent on Russia, and that's why Russia felt so comfortable invading Ukraine.
00:03:58.960 One of your tweets, you said, imagine making our high-energy capitalist civilization work on energy
00:04:06.620 sources that literally kept humans trapped in poverty for centuries. Renewables is the energy
00:04:14.060 of serfs and slaves.
00:04:15.840 Yeah, I don't think people realize, you know, we have a terrible understanding of history,
00:04:22.180 particularly maybe more of us in America than in Europe, but even in Europe, we've just forgotten
00:04:26.740 that we couldn't have had the industrial revolution, which lifted life expectancy from 30 years to 70
00:04:34.020 years. That could not have happened with renewables, with wood, with water wheels, with windmills.
00:04:40.360 The same problem exists, an inherently physical problem. Renewable fuel, sunlight, wind, water,
00:04:48.060 these are our two energy dilutes to provide the sufficient power that you need to power our
00:04:53.820 machines, which make this incredible prosperity that we enjoy and take for granted possible.
00:05:00.640 So we just have been in like a dream state, whereas Putin was in the real world, the real world
00:05:06.680 of nuclear power, which generates significant quantities of heat. He was in the real world
00:05:11.560 of natural gas, and he built nuclear plants at home so he could export gas to Europe, make
00:05:17.220 Europe dependent on him. And as Europe left on the daydream around returning to some, you know,
00:05:25.460 ecotopia, some period that never existed, in truth, the period that the romance of renewables
00:05:32.380 conjures was a period of poverty, misery, slavery, and serfdom. So I think this is a wake-up call.
00:05:39.260 I think things, everything's going to change now. We're going to be reminded why we need
00:05:43.580 fossil fuels and nuclear.
00:05:45.240 Did you see that the leader of the Green Party in Germany yesterday, I mean, if I'm not mistaken,
00:05:50.960 that whole party started because of nuclear energy. They said that they will compromise
00:05:56.680 on nuclear power plants to keep them running if it means that they can get off of the teat
00:06:05.960 of Russia. That's remarkable.
00:06:09.700 It's amazing. I mean, basically, people who had previously been against nuclear are absolutely
00:06:16.260 changing their minds. We'll see what happens in Germany. I mean, it tells you how much nuclear
00:06:22.760 has become the secular devil for Germans and progressives and Greens in particular in Germany 0.69
00:06:29.480 that they were willing to, you know, massively increase their defense spending, which I think
00:06:34.840 we should all be concerned about, actually, given the history of Germany. Yeah. They increased their 0.98
00:06:40.120 defense spending before they would turn their nuclear plants on. But I do think things are
00:06:44.180 changing very rapidly.
00:06:45.760 So who is leading this? Is it the United States that is leading this? Because, I mean, yesterday,
00:06:51.700 they asked Pete Buttigieg about, you know, what are we doing about the cost of gasoline? And he's in
00:06:59.780 a fantasy world. Listen to how he responded.
00:07:03.940 Drill more, open up more U.S. land to drilling. What's the administration's response to that idea?
00:07:12.320 Well, look, the president has laid out and taken a number of steps, including addressing the Strategic
00:07:18.620 Petroleum Reserve, including diplomatic efforts to increase global oil production and other ideas that have
00:07:24.860 been raised that are on the table because everything deserves to be considered. But let's also be clear that
00:07:30.460 we are in the middle of a long term transformation that is already fast underway, especially when it comes
00:07:36.820 to vehicles, making electric vehicles more affordable for Americans, something that the president has
00:07:42.460 proposed. Stop. Stop. I mean, this is the great reset nonsense. I mean, how are we going to power
00:07:49.920 those electric vehicles? You know, assuming everybody gets one real quick. What's what he said was really
00:07:56.580 disturbing to me is, you know, we can't forget we're in the midst of a grand turnaround and going into a
00:08:05.000 different direction. They're not stopping. They will not stop. No fact or crisis will will get them
00:08:13.860 to stop and go the other direction. No, I mean, and look, it's it's you know, this is the idea that
00:08:20.880 we're going to switch to lithium and suddenly we're going to replace all of our petroleum with lithium
00:08:25.420 and then what become dependent on Bolivian mining. There's a there's an unreality here.
00:08:31.480 People are living in a daydream. Putin lives in the real world. In the real world, you need
00:08:36.440 significant amounts of power. The more of it that can come from your own country, the better.
00:08:42.300 The more you can export, the better for your country. So if you care about America and you
00:08:46.900 care about American interests, what you want to do is is rely more on American power, not less.
00:08:53.040 So look, the Tesla is a beautiful car. Electric cars are really interesting. But the long term
00:08:58.640 trajectory of this is that we're going to move from oil and natural gas to hydrogen and nuclear.
00:09:03.960 And this has been understood for many decades. So the so the transportation secretary, who, by the way,
00:09:09.860 understands absolutely nothing about energy and has no experience or record on energy.
00:09:15.260 And yet energy is fundamental to transportation. He is bought into basically just a fad. And really,
00:09:22.460 that comes out of a religious new secular religion that imagines we're going to harmonize
00:09:27.920 ourselves with the natural world through renewables and electric cars.
00:09:31.540 So how long will it take us to and when do we hit a point of no return where they've just crippled us
00:09:40.720 on oil and gas and and any kind of of energy that would actually be reliable?
00:09:49.860 I mean, Glenn, as you know, we're missing leadership at every level of our society in
00:09:56.620 many ways. And so we don't have the leadership that's that's explaining to the American people
00:10:02.460 what's in our best interest, what's in the best interest of our allies in Europe,
00:10:07.480 our best interests of Japan and South Korea and our allies in the Pacific region.
00:10:12.160 That is a nuclear future. It's an oil and gas future.
00:10:16.020 The good news is we may not need to use as much coal in the future. And we certainly won't
00:10:20.660 because we do have so much oil and gas. But progressives, I'm afraid to say my my former
00:10:26.200 party have repressed those energies in the name of relying on solar panels made by enslaved 0.99
00:10:33.160 Muslims in China and in Europe, relying on Putin for all of a significant portion of their gas, 0.92
00:10:41.000 enough gas to make them unable to stand up to him and prevent him from invading Ukraine.
00:10:47.520 So we've got to reorient towards American energy, American power. That American power is literal
00:10:53.160 and figurative. If we have a lot of American power in the form of nuclear, natural gas and petroleum,
00:11:00.040 then we have significant American power globally for progressive Western civilization,
00:11:04.740 not for the dictatorship that we see in China, with creepy facial recognition and social media software 0.88
00:11:11.200 designed to control its population, or with Putin. Putin is going to start bombing apartment buildings.
00:11:18.240 Putin is going to kill a lot of people. We have this beautiful thing called civilization,
00:11:23.340 Western liberal civilization. You can be Jewish, Christian, Muslim. You cannot believe in God.
00:11:28.520 And everybody has the same rights. You can you can disagree with the president. You can you can
00:11:33.960 attack. You can criticize the president in our countries and our liberal democracies. That's not
00:11:38.940 what's going on in China and Russia. And I think that the invasion of Ukraine is a wake up call that we
00:11:44.980 have got to assert our power as people that believe in Western civilization. And that means that we need
00:11:51.340 really powerful sources of energy, nuclear power, natural gas, oil. We can't be dependent on solar
00:11:57.860 panels and weather dependent wind turbines, which fail when we need them the most and are produced by
00:12:04.600 people that are against our values. Michael, when are people going to really feel I mean, I can't
00:12:11.940 believe people are as silent on gas prices as they are right now. And it's absurd, because we have so
00:12:18.760 much petroleum. I know we have this blessing in the form of shale, this incredible rock formation.
00:12:24.160 We pull out of it light sweet crude. We have to train. We should have been working to transform our
00:12:28.740 refineries much more, much more quickly over the last several years than we did. We should be pumping
00:12:34.280 much more petroleum into our into our into our into our allies. So they're not dependent on the
00:12:39.960 Russians, but with the Russians for like 20 percent of their petroleum in Europe and and much more than 0.52
00:12:46.140 that for coal and natural gas. Coal natural gas is 50 over 55 percent for Germany. You know, if we provide
00:12:52.380 those fuels, then they're less dependent on on really bad actors like Putin and Xi.
00:12:59.280 Well, we can't get our banks won't finance any of those new refineries or any of the updates because
00:13:07.380 of ESG scores, which which is which is so corrupt that it suggests that a power source, namely solar
00:13:15.360 panels, which require three to four hundred times more land than natural gas or nuclear are somehow
00:13:20.780 better for the environment, even though you have to spread them all over deserts, kill endangered
00:13:25.280 species. And they think that they're they they manipulate the numbers to show that solar was better
00:13:30.800 than even nuclear, which produces the least amount of waste to the use of the smallest amount of inputs.
00:13:37.380 And then they've killed our they've killed off the natural gas and oil industry when we should be
00:13:41.440 exporting abroad. And gasoline in California now costs over five dollars a gallon. It should cost
00:13:47.300 half that. You know, we should have a we have a world class industry and we have throttled it. We
00:13:53.900 have we have squished it. We have squashed it in the name of importing crappy solar panels from China made 1.00
00:14:00.720 by enslaved Muslims. And now you see the consequences. This is real world stuff. People are being killed in
00:14:06.000 Ukraine because Europe got over dependent on Russian gas and coal exports and oil exports.
00:14:12.380 Michael Schellenberger, thank you so much for everything you do. He's the author of Apocalypse Never.
00:14:18.580 Also San Francisco and the founder and president of Environmental Progress.
00:14:25.140 Thank you, Michael. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me, Glenn.
00:14:27.980 You bet.
00:14:28.340 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:14:43.560 I want to give you a piece of news and I can give you the reports or you can look them out up on your own.
00:14:49.080 Advancing Digital Agency, the Power of Data Intermediaries and Digital ID Framework that the WEF has published.
00:15:00.420 OK, so we have we have two reports and it's really exciting from the World Economic Forum.
00:15:09.140 Listen to this. Well, let me start with this.
00:15:11.620 I have been trying to keep my extended family in the loop and I have found two things that have happened.
00:15:22.580 One, and it may be because, you know, I I don't couch things.
00:15:30.160 One is everybody is either overreacting and like, oh, my gosh, my hair is on fire today.
00:15:37.420 And no, you just have to do things to prepare for a new world.
00:15:42.960 The other reaction is this is crazy.
00:15:46.080 There's no way this is going to happen.
00:15:48.060 No way these things could happen.
00:15:49.920 It's it's it's a fantasy.
00:15:52.260 Well, it was a fantasy in 2016 that Donald Trump would be our president.
00:15:58.800 It was a fantasy to have a president sitting on the pot, you know, making jokes and torching people on Twitter.
00:16:07.880 But it happened.
00:16:09.400 It's a fantasy that we would have 40 year high inflation rate like this because the Fed printed and gave away about 100 trillion dollars.
00:16:22.300 It's a fantasy just last week that we would be talking about nuclear war.
00:16:30.640 So don't tell me it.
00:16:32.380 It's beyond the realm of possibilities.
00:16:35.060 I don't see anything.
00:16:37.400 Let me remind you, two years ago, the Pentagon.
00:16:40.800 And if you've not heard this yet, look it up.
00:16:43.300 The Pentagon came out and said, yeah, there's some sort of alien life form and we've got one of their ships or at least pieces of it.
00:16:53.960 So I'm not really surprised by anything anymore.
00:16:59.360 Now, for those who think the Great Reset is not going to control every aspect of your life, let me give you a couple of things.
00:17:07.420 They are they are now taking the next step to shape global, regional and industry agendas and quote.
00:17:21.140 With a new digital ID system.
00:17:24.780 Under the framework, the WF proposes collecting data from many aspects of people's everyday lives.
00:17:31.800 That's a quote through their devices, telecommunication networks and third party service providers.
00:17:38.020 The WF suggests that this data collection dragnet would allow a digital ID.
00:17:44.140 Now, listen to this.
00:17:44.920 It's very narrow.
00:17:46.740 It would allow a digital ID to scoop up data on people's online behavior, purchase history, network usage, credit history, biometrics,
00:17:58.200 names, national identity numbers and medical history, plus your travel history, social accounts, e-government accounts, bank accounts, energy uses, health stats, education.
00:18:09.920 And I love this one and more.
00:18:13.760 What's left?
00:18:14.960 Once the digital ID has access to this huge, highly personal set of data, the WF proposes using it to decide whether users are allowed to quote, own and use devices, quote, open bank accounts, quote, carry out online financial transactions, quote, conduct business transaction, quote, access insurance and treatment.
00:18:44.960 Book trips, book trips, still quoting, go through border control between countries or regions, still quoting, access third party services that rely on social media logins, file taxes, vote, collect benefits, end quote.
00:19:02.520 So, you know, that little, that passport that they gave you.
00:19:08.000 It was so crazy to think that maybe that COVID passport might grow into something.
00:19:13.900 Oh, exactly like this.
00:19:15.920 In this advancing digital agency, the power of data intermediaries report, the WF positions this digital ID framework as part of the solution to a trust gap in data sharing and notes that vaccine passports, which were mandated across the world during COVID-19, do by nature serve as a form of digital identity.
00:19:44.400 The WF also praises the way vaccine passports have allowed governments to harvest data from their populations, I'm quoting, without notice or consent.
00:19:59.100 Oh, I love that when our government does that, don't you?
00:20:02.300 Quoting, at a collective level, vaccine data is incredibly, incredible public health asset.
00:20:10.000 The United Kingdom's government in particular has acknowledged this and has suggested that they would anonymize it and data shield techniques that could be harnessed in controlled environments to allow for the reuse of that highly sensitive data.
00:20:27.720 In such cases, notice and consent is not required per se for the reuse of data, but the intermediary processes the data undergoes must be done in a controlled environment so that the findings of the data set are made available rather than the data itself.
00:20:46.800 Who's going to protect us?
00:20:48.000 Additionally, the WF provides a specific example of how digital IDs could be used to authenticate a user by using fingerprints, a password or identity verification technology and decide whether they should be granted.
00:21:03.500 I'm quoting access to a bank loan by judging their profile, which may include biometrics name, national identity number and history, which may include credit, medical and online purchasing history.
00:21:19.240 The WF goes on to suggest that digital IDs will allow for the selection of preferences and making of certain choices in advance and ultimately pave the way for automated decision making, where a trusted digital assistant automates permissions for people and effectively manages their data across different services to overcome the limitations of notice and consent.
00:21:48.100 This is great.
00:21:49.100 This is great.
00:21:50.100 They're also talking about turning your heartbeat into a digital ID.
00:21:55.100 Uh huh.
00:21:56.100 And governments and private corporations increasingly embracing digital IDs.
00:22:02.100 Some governments are also pushing a similar notion, social credit style apps that monitor citizens behavior and reward them for engaging in state approved actions.
00:22:15.100 Okay.
00:22:16.100 Okay.
00:22:17.100 All right.
00:22:18.100 Okay.
00:22:19.100 All right.
00:22:20.100 All right.
00:22:21.100 Now, let me just throw this on the fire for you.
00:22:26.100 One of the most widely used services to check the credit worthiness of individuals and small businesses is FICO, F I C O, right?
00:22:36.100 Banks, credit unions, they examine your application for a loan.
00:22:40.100 FICO is often the first place that they turn when customers look up their credit score.
00:22:46.100 They're usually talking about their FICO score.
00:22:49.100 Now, we've suspected for quite a while that ESG scores, which are kind of a social credit score, similar to the ones that they're using in China, could someday soon be tied with personal credit scores.
00:23:04.100 So that a low ESG score could cause your personal credit score to drop and your access to loans and mortgages along with it.
00:23:13.100 But it's it's rare to see even the staunchest ESG supporter openly admit something like that.
00:23:21.100 However, let's go to FICO's website in a little piece titled lending predictions of 2022 from BNPL to ESG and more in which a FICO senior principal consultant seems to suggest he believes in 2022 ESG could be directly linked to personal and small business credit scores.
00:23:49.100 This is crazy.
00:23:50.100 This is crazy.
00:23:51.100 This will never happen.
00:23:52.100 It is happening.
00:23:54.100 What you're seeing happen to Russia right now and praise Allah, it's happening. 0.91
00:24:02.100 I am all for the the sanctioning of Russia, but the way they're cutting them off in all ways will be used against you.
00:24:15.100 Unless you fall in line.
00:24:19.100 You can't wait for people to buy into this because some people will just wait and wait and wait and it'll be too late.
00:24:29.100 Find the people who will do their own homework.
00:24:32.100 Let me give you this.
00:24:34.100 The Secretary General of the United Nations just said turning this ship around meaning the world will take immense willpower and ingenuity from governments and business alike in every major emitting nation.
00:24:47.100 You're going to see tonight with the State of the Union Joe Biden trying to make a case for green energy.
00:24:57.100 A listen to this quote, a key focus of my administration will be the revitalization of Japan through and I'm quoting a new form of capitalism.
00:25:10.100 He said the time has come for historic economic and social transformations and that Japan will pioneer a new form of public private partnership with leaders of government industry and labor all working together to shift policies into a new form of capitalism.
00:25:34.100 That's the prime minister of Japan.
00:25:37.100 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:25:44.100 I want to give you a piece of news and I can give you the reports or you can look them out up on your own advancing digital agency, the power of data intermediaries and digital ID framework that the WF has published.
00:26:02.100 Okay, so we have we have two reports and it's really exciting from the World Economic Forum.
00:26:11.100 Listen to this.
00:26:12.100 Well, let me start with this.
00:26:15.100 I have been trying to keep my extended family in the loop and I have found two things that have happened.
00:26:24.100 One and it may be because, you know, I I don't couch things.
00:26:30.100 One is everybody is either overreacting and like, oh, my gosh, my hair is on fire today.
00:26:39.100 And no, you just have to do things to prepare for a new world.
00:26:43.100 The other reaction is this is crazy.
00:26:47.100 This there's no way this is going to happen.
00:26:49.100 No way these things could happen.
00:26:51.100 It's it's it's a fantasy.
00:26:53.100 It's a fantasy.
00:26:54.100 Well, it was a fantasy in 2016 that Donald Trump would be our president.
00:27:02.100 It was a fantasy to have a president sitting on the pot, you know, making jokes and torching people on Twitter.
00:27:10.100 But it happened.
00:27:11.100 It's a fantasy that we would have 40 year high inflation rate like this because the Fed printed and gave away about 100 trillion dollars.
00:27:25.100 It's a fantasy just last week that we would be talking about nuclear war.
00:27:32.100 So don't tell me it.
00:27:34.100 It's beyond the realm of possibilities.
00:27:37.100 I don't see anything.
00:27:39.100 Let me remind you, two years ago, the Pentagon.
00:27:43.100 And if you've not heard this yet, look it up.
00:27:45.100 The Pentagon came out and said, yeah, there's some sort of alien life form.
00:27:51.100 And we've got one of their ships or at least pieces of it.
00:27:56.100 So I'm not really surprised by anything anymore.
00:28:01.100 Now, for those who think the Great Reset is not going to control every aspect of your life,
00:28:08.100 let me give you a couple of things.
00:28:10.100 Let me give you a couple of things.
00:28:11.100 They are.
00:28:12.100 They are now taking the next step to shape global, regional and industry agendas and quote.
00:28:22.100 With a new digital ID system.
00:28:26.100 Under the framework, the WF proposes collecting data from many aspects of people's everyday lives.
00:28:33.100 That's a quote through their devices, telecommunication networks and third party service providers.
00:28:39.100 The WF suggests that this data collection dragnet would allow a digital ID.
00:28:45.100 Now, listen to this.
00:28:46.100 It's very narrow.
00:28:47.100 It would allow a digital ID to scoop up data on people's online behavior, purchase history, network usage, credit history, biometrics, names, national identity numbers and medical history.
00:29:04.100 Plus your travel history, social accounts, e-government accounts, bank accounts, energy uses, health stats, education.
00:29:11.100 And I love this one and more.
00:29:14.100 What's left.
00:29:17.100 Once the digital ID has access to this huge, highly personal set of data, the WF proposes using it to decide whether users are allowed to quote, own and use devices, quote, open bank accounts, quote, carry out online financial transactions, quote, conduct business transaction, quote, access insurance and treatment.
00:29:46.100 Book trips, still quoting, quote, go through border control between countries or regions, still quoting, access third party services that rely on social media logins, file taxes, vote, collect benefits, end quote.
00:30:04.400 So, you know, that little that passport that they gave you.
00:30:09.340 It was so crazy to think that maybe that covid passport might grow into something.
00:30:15.580 Oh, exactly like this.
00:30:17.800 In this advancing digital agency, the power of data intermediaries report, the WF positions this digital ID framework as part of the solution to a trust gap in data sharing and notes that vaccine passports, which were mandated across the world during covid-19, do by nature serve as a form of digital identity.
00:30:45.800 The WF also praises the way vaccine passports have allowed governments to harvest data from their populations, I'm quoting, without notice or consent.
00:31:01.020 Oh, I love that when our government does that, don't you?
00:31:04.180 Quoting at a collective level, vaccine data is incredibly incredible public health asset.
00:31:11.860 The United Kingdom's government in particular has acknowledged this and has suggested that they would anonymize it and data shield techniques that could be harnessed in controlled environments to allow for the reuse of that highly sensitive data.
00:31:29.580 In such cases, notice and consent is not required per se for the reuse of data, but the intermediary processes the data undergoes must be done in a controlled environment so that the findings of the data set are made available rather than the data itself.
00:31:48.660 Who's going to protect us?
00:31:49.860 Additionally, the WF provides a specific example of how digital IDs could be used to authenticate a user by using fingerprints, a password or identity verification technology and decide whether they should be granted.
00:32:05.360 I'm quoting access to a bank loan by judging their profile, which may include biometrics name, national identity number and history, which may include credit, medical and online purchasing history.
00:32:21.120 The WF goes on to suggest that digital IDs will allow for the selection of preferences and making of certain choices in advance and ultimately pave the way for automated decision making where a trusted digital assistant automates permissions for people and effectively manages their data across different services to overcome the limitations of notice and consent.
00:32:49.960 This is great.
00:32:50.960 This is great.
00:32:51.960 They're also talking about turning your heartbeat into a digital ID.
00:32:56.960 Uh huh.
00:32:57.960 And governments and private corporations increasingly embracing digital IDs.
00:33:03.960 Some governments are also pushing a similar notion, social credit style apps that monitor citizens behavior and reward them for engaging in state approved actions.
00:33:16.960 Okay.
00:33:17.960 Okay.
00:33:18.960 All right.
00:33:19.960 Okay.
00:33:20.960 All right.
00:33:21.960 All right.
00:33:22.960 Now, let me just throw this on the fire for you.
00:33:27.960 One of the most widely used services to check the credit worthiness of individuals and small businesses is FICO, F I C O, right?
00:33:37.960 Banks, credit unions, they examine your application for a loan.
00:33:41.960 FICO is often the first place that they turn when customers look up their credit score.
00:33:47.960 They're usually talking about their FICO score.
00:33:50.960 Now, we've suspected for quite a while that ESG scores, which are kind of a social credit score similar to the ones that they're using in China could someday soon be tied with personal credit scores.
00:34:05.960 So that a low ESG score could cause your personal credit score to drop and your access to loans and mortgages along with it.
00:34:14.960 But it's it's rare to see even the staunchest ESG supporter openly admit something like that.
00:34:22.960 However, let's go to FICO's website in a little piece titled lending predictions of 2022 from BNPL to ESG and more in which a FICO senior principal consultant seems to suggest he believes in 2022.
00:34:43.960 ESG could be directly linked to personal and small business credit scores.
00:34:50.960 This is crazy.
00:34:51.960 This will never happen.
00:34:53.960 It is happening.
00:34:55.960 What you're seeing happen to Russia right now and praise Allah, it's happening. 0.91
00:35:02.960 It's happening.
00:35:03.960 I am all for the the sanctioning of Russia, but the way they're cutting them off in all ways will be used against you.
00:35:16.960 Unless you fall in line.
00:35:19.960 You can't wait for people to buy into this because some people will just wait and wait and wait and it'll be too late.
00:35:30.960 Find the people who will do their own homework.
00:35:33.960 Let me give you this.
00:35:35.960 The secretary general of the United Nations just said turning this ship around meaning the world will take immense willpower and ingenuity from governments and business alike in every major emitting nation.
00:35:48.960 You're going to see tonight with the State of the Union Joe Biden trying to make a case for green energy.
00:35:58.960 Hey, listen to this quote.
00:36:00.960 A key focus of my administration will be the revitalization of Japan through and I'm quoting a new form of capitalism.
00:36:11.960 He said the time has come for historic economic and social transformations and that Japan will pioneer a new form of public private partnership with leaders of government industry and labor all working together to shift policies into a new form of capitalism.
00:36:35.960 That's the prime minister of Japan.
00:36:37.960 That's the prime minister of Japan.
00:36:39.960 That's the prime minister of Japan.
00:36:41.960 No.
00:36:42.960 No.
00:36:43.960 No.
00:36:44.960 No.
