Video Transcript AI Summary
Tucker Carlson questions why anyone cares about Jenna Maroney's opinions, calling her an empty-headed Hollywood type. Maroney asserts her right to an opinion. Carlson points out she sang a portion of a song called "Muffin Top" and told a story about Fleet Week during her appearance. Carlson suggests political discourse is now determined by "former cable Ace Award nominees." Maroney states that if the president is serious about the war on terror, he should capture Barack Obama before he strikes again. She declares she is voting for Osama in 2008, implying it's time for a change.

Speaker 0: Tucker Carlson, you heard what Jenna Maroney had to say. She supports the troops. Speaker 1: Well, here's a question, Chris. Why do we care what she thinks about anything? This woman strikes me as another empty headed, self involved member of the Hollywood ignorati. Speaker 2: You know, for someone who's super, super hot, you're really cranky. I have just as much right to my opinion as you or Chris. Speaker 0: I'm not sure you do. You've been on this show for twenty minutes now. You sang six bars of something called Muffin Top. Speaker 2: Thank you. Speaker 0: And then told a disgusting story about Fleet Week. Speaker 1: I guess this is the state of political discourse in this country nowadays, and that's fine. Let's just embrace it. Let's have our policies determined by former cable Ace Award nominees. Speaker 2: First, I was great in that r list. Second of all, if the president is so serious about the war on terror, why doesn't he hunt down and capture Barack Obama before he strikes again? It's time for a change, America. That's why I'm voting for Osama in 02/2008. Oh, no comeback? You burnt.

I’m piecing together a complex situation involving Vance Luther Boelter, a suspect in the shootings of MN state lawmakers, and his connections to Governor Walz and a security company. There’s speculation about his wife, Jenny, who was also an intern for Walz, and her ties to the security group that uses unmarked police-like vehicles. It seems the Boelter family is deeply intertwined in this scenario, with multiple relatives involved. I’m gathering information and welcome others to join in the investigation as we dig deeper.

@SomeBitchIIKnow - L

So that’s how Walz knew it was politically motivated??

@Julio_Rosas11 - Julio Rosas

BREAKING: I'm told by a police source in Minnesota the suspect in the shootings of MN state lawmakers is Vance Luther Boelter. It appears it is the same Boelter who was appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board in 2019 by Gov. Tim Walz. He appointed to the Governor's Workforce Development Council in 2016 by then-Gov. Mark Dayton.

Vance Belter lives in Greenell, Minnesota, and works full time for Wolf Funeral Home, an intake location for multiple funeral homes and cremation societies. He also works for Metro First Call, handling traditional removals and removals for the Hennepin County medical examiner's office, often involving police officers and death investigators. Vance has a wife, five children, and two German shepherds. He has thirty years of experience in the food industry and was invited to the Democratic Republic of Congo to help improve their food supply system, as they import 80% of their food for their 100 million population. Vance decided to pursue farming and fishing projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo independently after his company showed no interest. To support these projects, he began working at a funeral home, which led him to take classes at DMACC and further his education in the funeral industry.

Speaker 0: Hello. My name is Vance Belter. I just go by Vance. No other names that I use. I live in Greenell, Minnesota, about an hour away from the Minneapolis Saint Paul area. I'm affiliated with two funeral homes. I work full time for Wolf Funeral Home, which is an intake location for about six funeral homes. And we also do all the intake for the National Cremation Society and the Neptune Society for all their cremation customers as well. So, I mainly do removals at this point. So I work at Wolf full time, and then I also work for another funeral home called Metro First Call. And they also do traditional removals, at nursing homes, assisted living apartments, but they also have contracts with, medical examiner's office. So, like, one contract is the Hennepin County medical examiner's office, so we'll do removals, which, we're working with a lot of police officers and and, deaf investigators at the location where a decedent is found. Could be a crime scene or just a natural death. And our role is to just take the decedent from that place of death to the medical examiner's office. And so between those two, locations, I'm working about six days a week. What else here? Family and pets. I have a wife and five kids, and we have two pets, German shepherds. Fun fact about myself, I've been about in the food industry about thirty years, and that led to an opportunity. I was invited to the, Democratic Republic Of Congo, which is located in Central Africa. When I was in high school, the country was called Zaire. That's a little bit more familiar with people, but it's the largest, largest country in Africa right in the middle in the center there. And was asked a couple years ago to go and see what I could do for ideas in helping their food supply system. Their population is about a 100,000,000 people, and they import 80% of their food currently. So some of the food companies I worked for in the past were farm to fork, like Del Monte Foods and Golden Pump Poultry, where we did everything from at Del Monte, we planted the the products to harvested them to process them and then shipped them out in Golden Pump Poultry. We had our own hatcheries, grow out barns with the farmers, and then processing plants. So between those two companies, I have some experience with agriculture. And so, over in the Democratic Republic Of Congo, I had some ideas, they thought were pretty promising, which, the company I was working for at the time wasn't interested in doing anything in Africa. So I talked with my wife, and we decided I'd just put in my two week notice, and we just go off on our own to try to do these projects to help out in Africa. So we're doing farming and fishing projects in the Democratic Republic Of Congo. And to help pay the bills, I just started working at a funeral home because the shift worked good, for my schedule with the other things I was doing. And, that led to some classes at DMACC, which led to this course. So just learning more about the funeral industry. And I think that covers everything, and I will, look forward to seeing you in class, and we'll go from there.

I came across a report about Thomas Matthew Crooks, who faced bullying in high school for wearing a mask. A former classmate, Jason Kohler, struck me as having a peculiar demeanor and speech patterns. I didn’t intend to sway anyone's thoughts with my previous question. I recognize that people can act strangely under stress, particularly a 21-year-old dealing with significant challenges. I admit I'm not always the best at interpreting others, especially without meeting them in person.

@SomeBitchIIKnow - L

According to NBC Washington, Thomas Matthew Crooks was frequently bullied for things like wearing a mask when in high school. This is former classmate Jason Kohler. Everything about his demeanor and speech patterns are bizarre and off to me, what do you think? https://t.co/mpIZ9UvD98

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker describes a high school student who was bullied almost every day for being an outcast and a loner. The bullying involved being made fun of for his appearance and the way he dressed, including wearing jeans and, sometimes, hunting outfits. He always wore a mask, even after COVID restrictions were lifted. The speaker doesn't want to say the bullying provoked something, but acknowledges it's a possibility.

Speaker 0: Yeah. He was bullied almost every day. In what way can you explain? I mean, he would sit alone at lunch. I mean, he was just the outcast, and you know how kids are nowadays. So they're gonna see someone like that, and they're gonna target him because they think it's funny or whatever. So it's the best way I can describe it. And it's honestly kinda sad. Like, I don't wanna say this is what provoked it, but you never know. Yeah. You said it was a loner? Yeah. I wanna say he was a loner more because he was just he was quiet, but, like, he was just bullied. Like, he was bullied so much, so much. This is high school? Yeah. What did they do you remember at all what they said to him or call him? No. He was just made fun of, I guess, for the way he dressed or his appearance. How do you dress? Like, they were just saying jeans. He'd wear hunting outfits sometimes. I he would always wear a mask even after COVID. He he wore a mask. Like a COVID mask, like even after COVID was over and all that. Yeah.

I definitely didn't mean to influence your own thoughts with my own with that last question. I understand that people in stressful situations can behave oddly, especially a 21-year-old who is likely having a difficult time wrapping his head around the whole thing. Leave my opinions out of it. I'm not always great at reading people, esp if not in person.

I've been thinking about the Tim Walz horse meme and suspect it might be a distraction from his questionable dealings with the horse racing commission and tribal casinos. I can't prove it, but I believe it. It reminds me of Jeffrey Toobin's Zoom incident, which seemed to divert attention from his involvement in the Transition Integrity Project during the 2020 election. I recognize this is just my speculation, and I could be wrong. However, manipulating search engine results to shift focus is a tactic increasingly used in politics and beyond.

@SomeBitchIIKnow - L

My latest lunatic conspiracy theory is the Tim Walz horse meme was a psyop to game search engine results away from his incredibly corrupt political dealings with the state's horse racing commission and tribal casinos.

@SomeBitchIIKnow - L

I can't prove it, but I believe it wholeheartedly.

@SomeBitchIIKnow - L

Kinda like when Jeffrey Toobin had his infamous Zoom call moment, which deflected away from the fact that he was part of the Transition Integrity Project, which was war gaming out the 2020 election in secret. Any time it got brought up, Toobin and the call is mentioned and then nobody took it seriously.

@SomeBitchIIKnow - L

That Toobin theory is also just my own speculation. By all means, I could be wrong on either or both.

@SomeBitchIIKnow - L

Gaming search engine results (and more recently social media search results) has become a major tactic for politics, business, PR, and everywhere in between. Intentionally triggering erroneous searches to draw away attention from a different subject is and will continue to be a tactic.

Excerpts: "As elected leaders of our communities at all levels of state and local government, we write today to express our strong support for welcoming and resettling refugees in the United States."

@SomeBitchIIKnow - L

"As our experience with welcoming Afghans and Ukrainians has shown, U.S. leadership on protecting refugees not only provides a lifeline for those fleeing war, violence, and persecution, but also creates goodwill among partner nations, advancing our foreign policy, diplomatic, and national security interests."

Speaker 0: Good morning. Most wonder what I'm doing in Ukraine. This is about a center to help people when they come from other countries around the world to have a location, someone to talk to as a breeding committee to get them in the location that they need to be. So that's the whole focus of this project is to help foreigners be as useful as possible. That's our mission and job here, to get everybody where they need to be to maximize their potential.

Three minutes in, if you're impatient. Video: Elite US-trained Afghan soldiers want to fight for Ukraine https://t.co/jNfjrwmFzw

Video Transcript AI Summary
An Afghan Special Forces soldier claims 300 fighters want to defend Ukraine. Vladimir Zelensky created the International Legion for foreign fighters. Elite Afghan commandos, trained and equipped by the U.S. for $83 billion before the U.S. withdrawal in 2021, seek to join. Sergeant Major Kadeem, a 15-year veteran who served with U.S. forces, has been trying to enlist. He claims 6,000 US-trained Afghan troops are interested. However, Kyiv is reluctant to recruit them. Ryan Ruth, who connects foreigners to Ukrainian military units, says his Ukrainian contacts are against bringing in Afghans, fearing Russian spies. Wagner, a Russian private military group, is reportedly recruiting Afghan commandos, offering $2500-$3500 a month with housing. Some believe the U.S. should help these Afghan soldiers, especially if they fight for Ukraine, and ultimately bring them to the United States.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: I'm a soldier of the Afghan Special Forces. There are 300 fighters with me. We want to fight to death defending the oppressed people of Ukraine. Speaker 1: This message was submitted through a website where foreigners can apply to join the war in Ukraine. Just days into the Russian invasion, Vladimir Zelensky created the International Legion, Ukraine's foreign military unit, and in the 1st month alone. Among the applicants eager to join the war, elite Afghan commandos, whom the US spent $83,000,000,000 training and equipping in the past 2 decades before chaotically pulling out of the region in August of 2021, leaving the Afghan troops behind with few options. Now the question is whether the Ukrainian government will accept them among the ranks. Speaker 2: When, American government, get out from Afghanistan, our government is, crushed, rolling by Taliban. Now situation is in Afghanistan's very difficult Taliban, killing, army soldiers. Speaker 1: Sergeant Major Kadeem spent 15 years serving alongside the US forces in the region. In 2009, he took part in a major offensive against the Taliban and participated in 400 night special combat operations. Semaphore reviewed his documents and verified his identity with the US military. Speaker 3: I personally trained the unit that he was in. That was one of the most elite units, one of the most vetted units. It's called the Afghan reconnaissance unit. It was super secretive. All those guys are selected from the cream of the crop. Speaker 1: After the US withdrew from Afghanistan, Edwards, a 22 year veteran of the US Army's Special Operations Unit, set up an aid group to help soldiers left behind. Speaker 3: We've been working to advocate for these guys. We've helped get a few of them out. We've been keeping them safe for about almost 2 you know, coming up on 2 years now. Speaker 2: Be, bring me bring the house for me. Speaker 1: But it's not a long term solution. For months, Kadeem has been trying to enlist into Ukraine's international legion with no luck so far. He's compiled a list of 6,000 other US trained Afghan troops, many of whom, he claims, are also interested in aiding Ukraine's war effort. Speaker 2: Our people work with US special force, US Ranger, US Army. Space military spend a lot of money on these people. Speaker 1: The problem? Officials in Kyiv simply aren't interested in recruiting them. Speaker 3: Ukraine is Speaker 4: reluctant to Speaker 3: be cooperative. Speaker 2: That's Ryan Speaker 4: Ruth, a US citizen who set up the Ukraine is reluctant to be Speaker 1: cooperative. That's Ryan Ruth, a US citizen who set up the International Volunteer Center in Ukraine to help connect foreigners to Ukrainian military units. Speaker 4: Now I'm talking to over a 100 soldiers every day and pretty much everybody. Every all of my contacts in Ukraine, they were adamant. They pretty much yelled at me every time that I suggested that we bring in Afghan. Speaker 1: The Ukrainian government didn't respond to our request for comment, but a source close to the officials in Kyiv told Semaphore that their top concern is the question of loyalty in the thick fog of war. Speaker 4: The biggest thing is spies. They're afraid that anybody and everybody is a Russian spy. Speaker 1: Those concerns aren't completely unfounded. Russia's notorious private military group, Wagner, has reportedly begun recruiting Afghan commandos. Some of them reviewed these text messages from Afghan soldiers, which tell the same story. Speaker 3: What I heard was that they were offering about 25100 to $35100 a month to come there, and they were gonna put them up with housing and stuff like that. I don't know any personally that took that option. None of my guys did. But there were a lot that did take that option. I mean, these guys are loyal to America, but, I mean, if America's gonna just leave them sitting there for 2 years like we have, I mean, it's actually a pretty good looking option for these guys. You know? They wanna be Americans, honestly. They wanna come to America. But if they can show that they support America still and whatever we do around the world, I think that's the key for these guys. But the United States needs to step up. If these guys go to Ukraine and fight, they need to bring them to the United States Speaker 4: after that. Speaker 1: For more, sign up for SemaForce Global Security newsletter.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Good morning, and welcome. It is Friday, 19th January, The final morning of the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting and I think we can all agree the beginning of a very long year for democracy In 2024, we are gathered this morning to have a conversation about what are the themes that are Putting democracy on the ballot this year. My name is James Harding. I've been a journalist who's come to Davos for many years. I'm the editor of Tortoise, a slow newsroom trying to understand what's driving the news. And I feel incredibly fortunate to have this group of people to help us Trying to understand these issues. Ian Bremmer is the President of the Eurasia Group. You probably know that what Ian writes is required reading for anyone trying to understand geopolitics. Rachel Botsman was an expert on trust before we knew that we needed experts on trust and has been a lecturer at Oxford University on that subject. Mark Leonard runs the European Council of Foreign Relations. If you're trying to understand the cross cutting issues of what's happening within European democracies, Mark's the person to go to. Alex Soros is the chair of the board of directors of the Open Society Foundation, probably the organization that has been most devoted to the, reinforcement of the institutions of democracy around the world. And secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh is, the secretary for the promotion of industry in India. And as we know, although there's quite a lot of attention on one democracy this year, The biggest democratic exercise is going to be happening in India. And so I look forward to talking to you about that, Secretary Singh. The way we're going to do this, just to give you a sense of the structure of the 3 quarters for now that we've got is we're gonna try and talk about some of the themes that unite or if you'll unite democracies but possibly divide us There's challenges to democracy. We're gonna take some time, I hope, just to consider specifically what's happening in India, specifically what's happening in Europe, But we're gonna leave a chunk of time to talk about the United States. When I paused and said, why are we doing that? Rachel said, because it's the United States. So I hope that gives you a framework and will give some time at the end to make sure people have some room for some questions and comments. But Ian, Why don't you start? When you look at the challenges to democracy, what do you think by the end of 2024, we're gonna think of the issues that have been common themes, in elections this year. Speaker 1: Well, there's so many Reasons why democracies are facing challenges, but most of the elections as I see them this year aren't particularly problematic. Right? I mean, you know, when I look at Mexico, when I look at when I look at Indonesia, when I look at India, I mean, these are 3 very large countries, and the democracies are gonna be held pretty smoothly. And, You know, they'll be seen as legitimate by their populations. But, of course, that isn't true increasingly, in the most powerful, country in the world, the United States. And I'm not sure we'd be having the same kind of panel if it wasn't for the nature. US democracy is in crisis. And I I think that you can focus on inequality, and inequality is something that plays through all of these countries. You can focus on identity politics, and migration, and that certainly plays through the advanced industrial democracies Speaker 2: and creating a lot of backlash. But the the one Speaker 1: if there was one theme, season creating a lot of backlash. But the the one if there was one theme that that worries me the most, and and I experienced it most Sharply in the U. S, but we see it in other places. It's much broader than that. It's that as human beings, We, are we become civic individuals through nurture, Not genetically. Genetically, we're very different from that. But through nurture, we become civic beings. And and we have institutions around us, that shape us, that allow us to connect to people around us. And if you look in the United States over the last 40 years, Those institutions have fragmented, and they have lost trust. And that is true equally with the church and the media As it is with America's political institutions. And and for for most of my life, I I feared that they were not being replaced by anything. But they are now, and that's worse because what nurture is being replaced by is algorithm. We as human beings are being disintermediated by institutions that are not interested In creating civic individuals and community, we're being disintermediated, by Algorithms, that for for whom human beings are actually incidental to the process, They're products. And and we're we're we're we're consumers. We're stores of data, and and we're meant to engage with these things And how it affects us as people and the planet, is actually a real time experiment that's being run on us and on democracy right now. If I had to focus on one thing that I think is creating an a a true crisis of democracy in the United States, that is the one thing I think it is. Speaker 0: Rachel, will you pick up on that? Technology and trust, is Ian right? Is that what's causing so much Polarization and so much division within politics? Speaker 3: Kind of. So I want to pick up on what Iain said about the loss of trust Because there's a different or deeper picture of what's going on. So when you read the media, We're bombarded with this narrative that trust is in a state of decline. So you'll read surveys that trust in government in the U. S. In the 1960s, it was around 70%, and people trusted it to do the right thing. It's now around 22%. In the UK, they'll say it's around 30% OECD countries, 40%. So you look at that, and my mind thinks this, right? State of crisis. Well, this isn't actually what's happening to trust because trust I'm not a physicist. I actually failed physics, but It's like energy, right? It it can't be destroyed. It changes form. Trust is not like dry January or drinking coffee. You don't say, I'm not gonna trust today. So it's not that trust is in a state of decline, it's being displaced. So when I think of trust and democracy, I don't think of this, I think of, like, a complete fragmentation. Now this is really important because when we start to think of solutions, we have to think of Trust being distributed. So it's not a question of whether people trust. And this is, I think, where you're going at, Ian. It's where people place their trust. So just to quickly give you sort of a historical perspective on this, if you think about democracy and you think about trust, It maps to 3 really clear chapters. You have local trust and local systems of democracy, then you have institutional trust, And then you have what I call distributed trust, and this is what technology inherently wants to do. It wants to take trust that was very top down and linear and centralized and distribute it. Now we've seen this happen with media and information. We've seen this happen with value flows. Now when those two things get disrupted, it's going to disrupt Democracy. Now the thing that frightens me is that this creates a vacuum of chaos. And What we might call untrustworthy individuals, they understand these dynamics. They understand how to take all these fragments and this chaos and create some kind of absolute truth, create some kind of false certainty that is often mistaken for power. And that's where trust flows. So it's not like people stop trusting. They just start to flow in different directions. Speaker 0: And and just explain then the read across from that problem with trust to how that actually plays out in elections. Speaker 3: Well, it's very hard to control information, right? It's I mean, that's the central problem. It's very hard to control messaging. And then the three parts of sort of the democratic process, if you like, the vote, the institution itself, And then the people, there's sort of this chaotic energy around it because it's not like we just look up to these institutions, and we're really deferential to them. We don't know whom to trust, and therefore, voices that cut through are often clear and absolute, And they push against something rather than stand for something. And that's what scares me, is it's sometimes the most untrustworthy individuals that rise up in this state of chaos. Speaker 0: Mark, I'll come to you in a moment. I just wanted to ask Alex first. I'll come to you in one second, Mark. Alex, when you look at it, just across the piece in terms of How concerned are you about the things that Ian and Rachel are talking about? And what, if anything, can be done about that? Speaker 2: I think I want to be polite here. I think to blame technology is an easy cop out. To think of technology as something separate from humans I think It's a cop out in saying that technology has been a threat to Or if it's been a supposed threat to humanity since the invention of the printing press which has been much more disruptive than anything AI is going to do in regards to Human civilization, and I apologize because my real background is as a historian. But, I, I don't think that that's the fundamental I don't think technology It's a fundamental issue, in in democracy. Democracy is messy. I mean, you know, democracy is about contestation of ideas. It's about, plurality. It's about people having different truths actually. Now, Fundamentally, how society lives together, civically, in those contestations is obviously quite tricky. But I think that if we play too much on this Disinformation card, we're taking responsibility away from ourselves to actually create a narrative that inspires people to vote and to believe In democracy and democratic institutions, on the institutional Part, I think that we can talk about institutions as these abstract things, but institutions are also about people. And You know, you know, we just heard this this this point about untrustworthy people and we talked about things in the United States like, you know, like, checks and balances, which aren't written anywhere, but our customs. And one man, Donald Trump, literally came in and just took that, you know, took that took that all away. You know, so, You know, so, you know, but when I see this, you know, when I look at this, you know, More broadly regarding regarding, you know, regarding democracy, I also say to myself, when was this great time that everybody got along so well And you know things were going so so great. I mean I think you know, you know the you know, I think that we really have to be careful here in, you know, in this nostalgia, for a time, you know, for a time past because a lot of the reactions we're Seeing in society are actually reactions to positive things like equality for women And greater diversity, which come with backlash. Speaker 0: Mark, you wanted to weigh in let's take, by the way, some of those ideas that I've raised and come back to when we talk about the U. S. In particular. But Mark, how do you see all of this playing out, these themes, particularly in Europe? Speaker 4: So I think the European situation is quite interesting because we KAVA big European elections this year. 1 of the big elections not as big as India or the US, and people are quite nervous about it. And I think there's 2 things that people think are gonna be true of these elections. 1 is that they'll be about migration, And the other is that the far right is going to, dominate everywhere. And I think, actually, neither of those things are necessarily True. I think the first point about migration is is maybe, something which links up with what Rachel and and Ian were saying earlier, which is The migration is a kind of big issue. It's a crisis. There's a trauma from 2015 as well as what's happening today. But for Europeans, it's just one of A 5 big crisis that we've been through over the last few years alongside economic crisis, climate emergency, The COVID, the war in Ukraine, and what we found, in our polling work is actually that A lot of these crises are creating kind of long term identities and political identities. And, one of the things That seems to be defining politics now is is less a kind of idea of hope of the future and these long timescales about what could happen than the trauma of a kind of brutalized public that that, whose identities have been shaped by these things. And migration is the dominant trauma in in Germany post 2015. But what's interesting is is that all of those 5 crises have got constituencies which are, you know, between sort of 70,000,000 and 80,000,000 People around Europe, if you look at the whole European, they're more or less the same size if you think about these crisis crisis tribes of Europe. They've got different Dynamics within them, they lead to different kinds of voting behavior. But I think what it points to is a sense that, Rather than having societies that are centered around, you know, a a more kind of enlightenment idea of what democracy looks like, where People are seen as individuals, and they have collective interests which can be projected into the future. What increasingly, is happening with politics is that People are looking at these kind of, you know, the individuals being kind of broken down into a whole series of of different things. I think that's one of the things that does come from Technology. And what you try and do is assemble a kind of winning coalition on a particular issue at a particular time based on some aspect of their identity, which you think you can get to to to trump other kinds of identities. I think that's very very difficult for a kind of progressive politics If you want to get people to think about the future, if if you have such a fragmented sense of what the reality is and people's identities are, But anyway so I I think that the migration isn't gonna be the key issue. And then I don't think the far right's gonna win either. I think there will be, you know, 9 Member states in the EU, a third of member states where the far right tops the polls. But, if you look at we've built a model, and it shows that Actually, the results are not gonna be vastly different from what they are at the moment. The 3 kind of big, centrist blocks, the socialists, The Liberals and the the center right blocks will have over half of the seats in the European Parliament. They'll be the ones who decide who get the the big jobs, who's president of the European Council, president of the European Commission, the EU high representative, president of the European Parliament, There'll be a small shift. They'll go down from 60 to 55% of the votes, and there'll be a lot of about the the the move towards the the far right. But I don't think that it's going to be as important as a lot of the national elections which are taking place in in in Europe this year, Particularly in countries like Germany, actually, where these election the local elections in in, but and the British election, you can see How the Polish election actually completely changed the mood that people had about the far right earlier. So I would look probably more at those things than at the the European elections If you want to understand what's happening with your Speaker 0: Mark, I mean, I think this speaks to Ian's point right at the beginning. There are lots of elections, but there's probably only one that changes everyone's view about democracy and we'll come to that in a minute. I'm struck by your 5 big crises, and I just wanted to ask you about 1 in particular. It's striking here how quickly At the forum meeting, we sort of moved on from thinking about the disruption of COVID. And yet in the politics You sense that's really changed the way in which people think about government and their relationships with power. I know that the European Council on Foreign Relations looked at this. What are you finding in public sentiment around post COVID politics? Speaker 4: So we've been doing polling on COVID from the very beginning. At the beginning, it was 1 of the crises so a lot of these crises, either help incumbents or they help the the kind of opposition. And the war in Ukraine and COVID were incumbency friendly, crises. So at the beginning, they led to a surge in support for governments everywhere. And then over time, that kind of, dissipated. And what's interesting, if you think about long political COVID, the most kind the strongest identities actually seem to be, to do with, the loss of trust in elites from particular segments. So there's sort of anti vax, libertarian, elements in our society. Because you had this weird, political cross dressing during COVID where all the kind of liberal politicians like Emmanuel Macron, people like that, Came out as kind of authoritarians that were shutting their societies down, and all the real authoritarians like Marine Le Pen and the AFD and Nigel Farage and people like that All kind of reinvented themselves as as tribunes of freedom, against, lockdowns, against Compulsory vaccinations in different places. And I think that that probably is going to be the the kind of longest term legacy of it. Speaker 0: Secretary Singh, I keep on hinting at the impact of the U. S. Elections. But of course, the Indian elections is a kind of A creature unto itself, both in terms of scale, but also the system of the election. Can you just talk us through what you think is on the ballot in India in 2024. Speaker 5: So before I talk about that, let me also say that I'm an outlier on this panel. I'm the only civil servant. And I'm also the only person who's actually conducted elections quite a bit. In the first 10 years of my career as a civil servant, I've done about 15 ward elections at different levels as returning officers, district election officers, etcetera. As you as you hinted, it's a very Broad mammoth exercise that India does with 900,000,000 people, 10,000,000 odd polling stations. The reason why it runs so well in our opinion is that it is run entirely by the bureaucracy and it is run on the basis of Standard operating procedures. The the criticism that is normally made about the bureaucracy in India that it is very bound with red tape, procedure oriented, rule bound. Now those become strengths during elections because it is you're doing very narrowly tailored tasks, operating on checklists And that combination really works. And obviously, we've delivered elections over 75 years, which have always been credible. People's faith in the election process and in the election commission of India has actually gone up over the years. And the process is also incredibly efficient because we are able to Generate election results in literally half a day because we use electronic voting machines for the last 25 years. Coming to your question about what is on the ballot. Bread bread and butter issues are on the ballot in India, like everywhere else. It's it's basically economic development. But, yeah, I mean, the record of the present Prime Minister in terms of economic development In a way, has already been sort of validated in a sense by the recently concluded elections in 5 states where unexpectedly he won, You know, the majority of those as a civil servant, therefore, I can't predict or I should not be predicting results. But, you know, the writing is pretty much on the wall. Things are looking Pretty clear, but yes, in terms of credibility of the process, I think there's not much doubt. Issues of disinformation, of Use of money power to to a certain extent, those, of course, are important in India as well. And those are issues which probably Don't affect the election results as much as we think because people generally even if you, you know, people go around sometimes giving cash handouts, candidates could do Cash on handouts or liquor bottles in the night to their constituency. Usually, the the voter will take that, but he will vote as he Because he is very confident that his voting is going to be anonymous. Speaker 0: And Secretary Seem, what about the points that Ian and Rachel were making right at the beginning, this idea of The destruction of institutional trust, the explosion of distributed trust, do you feel that that's coming in India already Part of the politics of India, how do you read that? Speaker 5: I don't think trust Institutions has gone down significantly in India, particularly as far as the election commission is concerned because it's a constitutional body. It's it has very strong, sort of, constitutional protections in the form in the sense that they have the same protections as a supreme court judge. You can't remove them. They have a fixed tenure, And they run the elections entirely free of political interference during the election process. Essentially, the entire state and, central machinery start reporting to the election commission During that 2 or 3 week period when elections are being held. So I wouldn't say that trust has gone down, but across the board, if you say that trust Institutions have, sort of started coming down. Yeah. I mean, maybe to some extent that that's true in certain cases. But in general, India is an outlier. I think trust in elections in its institutions is probably fairly robust in India even today. Speaker 0: Thank you so much, Jean. All right. Let's turn to the United States. Everyone in this room has a point of view And probably even more questions than points of view. And I suppose I'd like to explore those. Alex, I'm going to ask you first, What do you think we're missing in understanding what's happening in the politics of 2024 in the U. S? Speaker 2: So it's So, interesting to be at, at Davos because in in Davos, Donald Trump is already the president, again again, In, in, in, in the United States, and obviously, that's, that's a good thing because that was, you know, the Davos Consensus is always wrong. Obviously, I think people understand which side of the political ledger I'm on in the United States. But I think when, you know, we look at the election in the United States, it's way too early. I mean, you know, we're talking about we're in January, You know, this time in 20, 20, we didn't know the Democratic candidate, was gonna be. I think there was there was probably was a lot in the avitae among people in thinking that there was somehow gonna be a contested Republican primary against Donald Trump. Donald Trump owns the Republican Party, and, we're in something I like to call the Trump cycle because I think even, if And I believe if the institutions hold when he loses this election, he'll also be the Republican candidate in 2028, and maybe even in 2032 as well. Because, No. I mean, what's the way out for him? I mean, he either winds up in prison or he winds up in power. He's not going off on some beach somewhere and retiring. I mean, this, You know, this is this man and this is the the, you know, the party that we've that we've created and we will deal with this issue now, you know, for, you know, For for for a while. But on the on on the election itself, let me let me just say that you, you know, we are, you know, we're not a, you know, a democracy where the person with the most votes win. It's a democracy of states and we have the electoral college and, you know, there are there are 50 states and there are about there are maximum, 7 but probably 6 states that matter and a minimum, You know, 3 plus the the the, the, Omaha, congressional district which goes into the To the to the college and, you know, so if you look at kind of the the blue wall states, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, the ones that Trump, you know, won and took away from Democrats when you beat Taylor Clinton, the one that Biden has won back, and the one that, you know, Democrats have have overwhelmingly won back Since, since, you know, since then, I would really look at I would really look at those. I would also look at Arizona. I would also look at Georgia and also look at, Nevada and possibly, North Carolina because you have a you have a Democratic, you know, governor's race. And if you look at those states, you know, Joe Biden's got a pretty good map. You know, Joe Biden's got a pretty good map. You know, Arizona, the population has changed by 50% demographically from between 2016 and 2020. And You know, even though people think that, you know, that, Herschel Walker's senate candidacy was some sort of outlier, When you speak to people in Georgia, Trump is really, really toxic, and you obviously, a very strong and organized African American vote. But actually, I think if you want to look at one state which will really test Where the election is, it's Wisconsin. Because, if Joe Biden is able to win Wisconsin, it should mean that he's won Pennsylvania and Michigan because if you look at the, You know, Pennsylvania, Michigan are more democratic than Wisconsin is. And if you look at the boat Share of 20, you know, 2016, 2020 was under it was under 1%. So who's ever doing better in, you know, in Wisconsin will probably show In which direction, the election goes. Speaker 0: Can I ask you, what you talk about sort of naivety as regards Trump and his relationship with the Republican Party? I have to confess, one of my forms of naivety was thinking around Thanksgiving. The Bidens are going to get together as a family and say, look, We've had a really impressive run. The presidency is probably under reported in its achievements, But the right thing to do is to hand over and allow a Democrat contest. As observant people will have noted, that didn't happen. Why has that not happened? And how worried are you about Biden as the candidate? Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's not happened for a couple of reasons, and I think that that is because Biden actually has and has a particular advantage, in a, in a polarized electoral environment, which is actually that he's not polarizing. Know, you can say a lot of things, you know, you know, about Joe Biden, but the Republicans have basically created, you know, first of all, him himself is, you know, You can't say that he's someone that's trying to force your children to have some sort of sex change or something. I mean, He's a pretty down to earth, you know, you know, person and also he just we don't actually have somebody in the Democratic Party It's actually polling so much better than him or better than him. I mean, even, you know, someone like Gretchen Whitmer who, you know, is, you know, one of her most popular governors. She doesn't have name recognition. Incumbency Has real power and validity in the US in the US, you know, in the US, system. But In if the 22 election and, you know, no election is alike, you know, if if Republicans run these extremist candidates and they have Trump, to have somebody like Joe Biden Who, you know, is not a very polarizing, you know, figure and Republicans have basically said is essentially demented. I mean, the whole age thing, I think, will actually backfire because, they set a standard where essentially Joe Biden just goes up to it goes up to a debate and puts 3 words in the sentence together he's kind of punctured their idea that he's this man that can't even walk and you know and talk I mean I mean, they've really set the bar so low that, you know, that he can he can do completely over, you know, over over But I think Joe Biden is running because he believes that I think it's I don't think many of us have a good counterargument that he's in Speaker 0: the best position to win. Ian, can I ask you to do something quite this is quite an unfair thing to do? Map out 24 as you see things unfolding Because I think one of the things that's most difficult about dealing with the US presidential election, just emotionally, is the uncertainty. Speaker 1: Well, I I fully agree that there's a long way to go. And so, I mean, I think it's 6040 Trump right now, but I have very low confidence around that. You can push me down to 5050. What's what should be relevant, to everybody here and especially the Europeans, because if Trump wins, it is an unmitigated disaster for them More than any other country in the world in my view, countries, is that Trump can win. He can easily win. So, I mean, you cannot write this guy off. And if if what we've seen from the Davos consensus is that it is actually gonna mobilize people to start thinking about the implications, God bless that. Right? That's a good thing. Now, Ian, just put it Speaker 0: across What those implications are for Well, Speaker 1: I I mean, for Europe specifically, I mean, this is a guy that has zero interest in supporting NATO, zero interest in supporting the European Union, Sees Zelensky as a personal political enemy because he refused, right, to to, support, the investigation of Biden and of Hunter. I mean, those are very serious things. He says he's gonna end the war in a day. You know he's gonna do that? Gonna say you've gotta accept the outcome that Putin wants. And when that doesn't happen, he's pulling money. That's an existential problem for Europeans. Right? So these are very, very serious issues that are at play. But but in terms of how 2024 is because that's 2025 and and and forevermore. But 2024, one thing we can say, Which is underappreciated is that Trump is almost certainly gonna get the nomination. Right? And when that happens, he is going to become Dramatically more powerful than he is now. Now I believe that Trump is likely to be convicted before the election. But Trump convicted When he already is the nominee and when the Republicans are all, therefore, completely behind him. And you saw that yesterday on a panel With the head of the American what was it? Heritage. Right? Who was was clearly I mean, I mean, utterly fact free and knows better, but he is Performing because he wants a position. You just saw the beginning of what a lot of serious Republicans that you think you know are about to do in about 2 months. And when that happens in an environment that is unprecedented Alex said, when was it so good before? From this perspective, it was always better because we are seeing unprecedented things happen in the United States every week, Sometimes every day, and we're normalizing them. We didn't have January 6th before. We didn't have this level of people believing in fundamental conspiracy theories that undermine the fabric of democracy. That is new. We don't we never had A president that was twice impeached, thrown out. We never had 91 indictments against the president. Do not normalize this. Speaker 0: Can I ask Do not? Can I ask you a self involved media question as that regards? There's often this debate about, do you put Trump on air? Do you not put Trump You put Trump on air, but you delay so that you can check fact check. Culturally, I don't think that's the challenge, particularly For TV broadcasters, the challenge is the outriders, the people who are commentators, advocates of his candidacy, Who you have to put on air because they're part of the debate, but they themselves may be pushing arguments by pushing ideas that as you say, fact free. What what's the responsibility of the media in this situation as regards to normalization? Speaker 1: I mean, the responsibility, is Not to simply drive headlines, that are clickbait. I mean, the fact is that if you go through the clicks and you read the pieces, from Fox or from The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times or CNN, they're often pretty decent straightforward coverage. But the headlines, which is what most of the people are reading, are are are frequently fact free, and they're very polarizing. They're very tribalizing. That's a problem. But, I mean, look. I we've lost this battle in the United States right now because the coverage is going to be dominated by Trump because he is the person that gets the money. And the media is in trouble financially, so they're gonna cover it. You remember Les Moonves saying that from CBS? It's bigger now because the media is facing a bigger existential challenge. That's what's happening. Speaker 0: Rachel, when you look at this, what's the way in which the world will interpret what's happened in the United What will be, I was going to say, lessons of democracy in the United States? Speaker 3: Yes. Can I just come back to what Ian said? And I should say I lived in the States 10 years, and I worked for President Clinton. And I think my experience from working with him is how much politics is a performance. And I think the thing that I find deeply disturbing from this conversation, and you mentioned this, is the normalization of low expectations. It's not okay that he's an old man. Our expectation shouldn't be that he goes up and he says 3 words and he doesn't fall over. Right? Like, that's very low expectations. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump wants to go to prison and be in power. I keep having this image of the orange man in the orange suit trying to run The White House, and he loved that, right? Because that's the ultimate theater and performance. The media is not going to cover that. So how do we raise expectations In who our leaders should be, how do we actually get back to a society that says, you know what? Trust is mine to give. I'm going to think about who deserves that trust because they're actually trustworthy. So in some ways, I think this lowering of expectations of what leadership looks like has a massive impact all around the world, and it has a massive impact on younger generations that look at public service, Look at civil servants, look at leadership and think, well, I don't want to be a part of that. I don't want to vote for that. I'm just going to disengage. Speaker 0: Can I just forgive me? There's one point that you made and I dropped the ball on it, which is the tension between popular will and the law in democracy. You were talking about The possibility of Trump becoming the Republican nominee and at the same time being convicted. And I think a lot of people around the world are deeply confused about what the US Legal position is on that. Are we right in thinking that even in the event of convictions, none of those things stand in the way of his Winning a US presidential election. Speaker 3: I I don't know. I mean, I think he can still win an election and be convicted. Right? To be Speaker 1: tested in the Supreme Court. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, there's nothing that says that he can't. I I suspect the Supreme Court would punt on it if they were forced to until after the election was over. Speaker 0: And ultimately punt on it means Meaning into 25. Speaker 1: If he's convicted, it's hard for me to see the Supreme Court ruling and saying he's not going to be able to serve Until the election is over. Speaker 3: And this is so key because democracy often depends on trustworthy systems being able to hold untrustworthy individuals, Right? And so what Trump is a master at is sort of completely rattling and bringing down sort of The structures of institutions, and this would be the ultimate act. I can I can be elected from prison? It's the ultimate screw you. Speaker 2: You know the Georgia case in particular because he can't pardon himself because it's because it's a state because the state, case, the state legal charge, is is gonna be is gonna be an ultimate test. So I think, you know, if If he wins and if he's if, you know, the we're gonna be in a constitutional crisis. Speaker 0: I wanna make sure that Speaker 2: we've got If not a bigger you know, violent crisis. Speaker 0: It's a very curious thing, Alex, because if you sort of I read a lot of what Timothy Snyder, who I know has been here, writes. And you think to yourself, This this contest between democracy and the constitution that seems to be playing out, and it's hard to it's hard to interpret. I wanna make sure that we've got some time for Questions or thoughts? If people have things they want to say, please just catch my eye and I'll make sure to bring you in and just ask you to say who you are If you've got any thoughts, if there's a lady just on the front here. Speaker 3: I just wanted to know Speaker 0: Will you say your name? Speaker 3: I'm Lilian Girardier. And I'm just today here, I'm happy to have some question. What is the artificial intelligence doing with Our democracy. Speaker 0: Can I send that to Ian, if I might? Speaker 2: Because you did Speaker 0: that survey, didn't you? Did you see who did that survey and had a look at AI and its impacts on Speaker 1: We did. And view overwhelmingly from the survey was that it was reducing trust in elections, not increasing. And that's still very early days. Look, I accept the fact that it is not technology that is to blame. Some technologies are centralizing. Some are decentralizing. We have the communications revolution, which actually helped democracy, the Arab Spring. We now have surveillance technology top down, which is, you know, actually atomizing, destroying, centralized trust. That's undermining it. But the thing that worries me the most on AI is and you heard it from Sam Altman a couple days ago with Bill Gates, is that we are the next, AI model, his next model anyway, and everyone's gonna have it soon, is going to be training on your individual data in part. When that happens, We are no longer going to be operating in our present information environment. All of us are going to have AI on trained with us helpmates kind of real time all the time. And the you need to know. We need to understand What it's driving us to do, unless we are regulating that in a radically different way than the hands off process on social media, Then I think the tribalization issue, I think the disinformation issue, I think the atomization of community issue is going to explode. This strikes me as existential for democracy. Speaker 0: Other questions or thoughts? Mark, I just wanted to put one thing to you about one point that's been put to me in the last few weeks is that one of the elements we're missing about the coincidence of democratic elections in 2024 Is what happens to the behavior of politicians, namely promises. And this will have an impact on debt and spending that there's a cumulative impact that people are missing. Do you see that? Do you think that there's a pattern in what politicians are promising? Speaker 4: I think there's a definitely a kind of mimetic quality to these elections where everyone is sort of copying each other. I think one of the biggest day you know, I think that the US election is an existential election for the US, But it is for the world precisely for that reason that he is creating and legitimating a template for how you do politics, Which has its reference right across the world. I think there's a particular challenge for Europeans in the way that Iain was describing. I spent a lot of time in in Washington at the end of last year talking to the different MAGA tribes about their plans for a dormant NATO and how they want to shift The burden rather than, share it, and the idea of the kind of war state and how they're going to use all the tricks in the book to to to have a very, very different kind of administration next time around to to to Trump 1.0. And that is something that everybody's sort of looking at. I think it's it's definitely true that If you look at the crisis people have been describing here, I spent a lot of time in the geopolitical sessions. There is a sort of Technocratic, elite idea about what to do in the Middle East and the different elements of of how we get from where we are now to a better place. And And everyone can agree on what the different elements are, what the road map is. And then you look at American politics, Israeli politics, what's happening in other places. And by the end of the conversation, you become totally convinced none of this is gonna happen. And you can take that for most of the problems we're describing So there is definitely a sense of a sort of functional technocratic imperative in lots of different areas And then just the dynamics of this very identity based politics with very different time scales. And I think that does me make 2024 Very, very dangerous year. Speaker 0: So, Christine, can I can I just ask you to this is slightly unfair, but to ask you to comment on the perspective of the 3 to 4000000000 people Who aren't voting? Because I think one of the facts of the last 2 decades or so has been this sense Amongst democracies, certainly amongst Western democracies, that the argument that was ascendant a generation ago is losing And that many people are not so confident that democracy is the way to run their country. What do you think the impact of this year will be, particularly the U. S. Election On the way in which non democratic countries see democracy. Speaker 5: I don't know enough about American politics to really comment, but let me give the example of India. There, the, the voting percentage or the number of people who are voting, the percentages are very high these days, 70 to 80% year after year. And one interesting innovation that our election commission did as part of the Case that went all the way up to the Supreme Court was that it created a in the electronic voting machine, it gave an option of, none of the above. It basically meant that people who didn't want to vote for any of the candidates on the ballot, they simply went for Nota. And there are cases that there are constituencies where Nota was getting the The majority of the votes. So I mean, that is one way of, in a sense, registering the frustration of, you know, a set of voters with their, you know, the limited Choices that they may have had. I also wanted to talk about the American elections and the, you know, the fairly alarmist view about One candidate in particular. I mean, one should look at these things in a slightly more dispassionate historical sort of perspective and Which is why I'm mentioning this Indian example, conflict of law and candidacy. There was a time in the seventies when we had this A very strong leader called, missus Indira Gandhi. She was convicted of electoral fraud and corruption in the seventies. She refused to accept the convictions. She declared an emergency, a constitutional emergency. She ruled under that emergency for 2, 2 and a half years, I think. Thereafter, she went for elections, roundly defeated. Thereafter, she was in the wilderness for another 3, 4 years. Again thereafter, however, she came back and again, we're on a sweep sweeping electoral victory. So maybe, you know, some of these issues, if you Look at it in a more historical perspective, maybe the blips will not seem that, you know, alarming as it might do in the very near term perspective. Speaker 0: It goes back to the point Alex was making that maybe there wasn't sort of this golden age when everything was quite as neat and tidy as we think. I will take, secretary Singh, your guidance to be a little more dispassionate. I'm not sure it'll work even till the end of the day, I'll give it my best, I'll give it my best try. There is so much to discuss on this. We've tried to touch on as many of the themes as possible within the 45 minutes we've had. I know this is going to be a conversation that's going to go through the year, but I hope you felt in hearing from Ian and Rachel and Mark, Alex and Secretary Singh, given you a framework for thinking about the year ahead. Please join me in thanking them and thank you for being part of this panel.

Happening now at #WEF2024. Session: '4.2 Billion People at the Ballot Box' "This contest between democracy and the constitution is hard to interpret." - James Harding

Video Transcript AI Summary
Democracy relies on trustworthy systems to hold untrustworthy individuals accountable. Trump has a talent for undermining institutions, and if he were to be elected from prison, it would be a powerful act of defiance. The Georgia case, which is a state charge and cannot be pardoned by Trump, will be a crucial test. If he wins, it could lead to a constitutional crisis and possibly even violence. The ongoing struggle between democracy and the constitution is complex and difficult to interpret.

Speaker 0: Democracy often depends on trustworthy systems being able to hold untrustworthy individuals, right? And so what Trump is a master at is sort of completely rattling and bringing down sort of the structures of institutions and this would be the ultimate act. I can be elected from prison. It's the ultimate screw you. Speaker 1: The Georgia case in particular because he can't pardon himself because it's a state case, the state rego charge, is is gonna be is gonna be an ultimate test. So I think, you know, if If he wins and if he's if, you know, we're going to be in a constitutional crisis. Speaker 2: I want to make sure that we've got Speaker 1: If not a bigger you know, violent crisis. Speaker 2: Yeah. No. No. But it's a very curious thing, Alex, because if you sort of I read a lot of what Timothy Snyder, who I know has been here, writes. And you think to yourself, This contest between democracy and the constitution that seems to be playing out, and it's hard to interpret. I want to make sure that we

4.2 Billion People at the Ballot Box In 2024 more people will vote for their next leader or legislature than in any previous year. In some countries this will lead to a smooth transition of power; in others, contentious results could damage citizens’ trust in their government. What is the electoral outlook for 2024 and how might some results reflect the strengths and weaknesses that democracy faces today? weforum.org

Dr. Drew expressed concern over a study revealing that 50% of young men who developed myocarditis after vaccination now have permanent heart damage. He questioned why this important news isn't receiving more attention and suggested injured students sue schools that mandated the vaccine. Another user mentioned the recurrence of myocarditis cases, which they had previously warned about. The conversation highlighted the censorship and dismissal faced by those who tried to raise awareness.

Myocarditis, a condition that causes inflammation of the heart, can lead to permanent heart damage in about half of young males, according to a recent study. This study, which received little attention, raises concerns about the risks associated with the COVID-19 vaccine. The speaker suggests that universities mandating the vaccine may face legal consequences if students experience long-term health issues. They also advise individuals to obtain fake vaccination cards if faced with vaccine mandates. The speaker emphasizes the availability of a treatment called Paxlovid and encourages people to question the necessity of vaccine requirements. They view these rules as mere theater and suggest pretending to comply while finding ways around them.

Speaker 0: It's more common than we thought. People are like, well, a smile. A smile. It's no big deal. It's it's self limited, blah, blah. Look, in my world, throughout my entire career, 40 year career, myocarditis is a medical emergency. It's a dire problem. A publication just came out 5 days ago in circulation, a major cardiac cardiology journal, an excellent study and it showed it took My breath away. I didn't know why it wasn't headline news. It's a large study, and it showed that about approximately half of the young males that got Myocarditis had permanent heart damage. Yep. Permanent. That means that a we don't know what percentage are going to be disabled by ist. As they get older, they're gonna develop heart failure or gonna need cardiac transplants, some of them. Oh my god. It's breathtaking, this study. And why it wasn't a big headline. I've sort of sent it around a little bit because I I I don't understand why people aren't reacting to it. So in a 27 year old male, the illness is a nothing. So the risk is so the vaccine is all risk. Right. Why the push? Why are we pushing? And I think, put your legal head on for a second, that universities are gonna be a big trouble for having mandated young people to get that vaccine because people are gonna get sick, and they're gonna have long term consequences, and they should sue Those schools for having forced them to take the take a medical intervention. Speaker 1: 100%, they should sue. And if anybody tries to force you from this point forward, get a fake card. It's not that hard. Go ahead. Google it. Get a fake card. Speaker 0: And and, again Don't comply. We have a good treatment. We have Paxlovid. Why and you people have all heard of it. Speaker 1: Have to get You have to say you've gotten the shot to get in. Right. Get a fake one. Just Google it on the Internet. It's bullshit. If they're gonna create these bullshit rules, you can create your bullshit way around them. It's All just like a theater. So let's okay. Let's act. I'll act like I've gotten my 50th booster, and you can act like you're satisfied I'm telling you the truth.

@TexasLindsay_ Something like 1 in 3 cases of myocarditis become recurrent. A fact that I pointed out two years ago and caught one of my many bans for. :P

@SomeBitchIIKnow This heartbreaking story never seems to end. So many tried to warn but so many were censored and dismissed.

Glenn Kessler from The Washington Post fact-checked Joe Biden's claim that his son, Hunter Biden, did not make money from Chinese companies. Kessler found that Hunter Biden admitted in court to receiving substantial sums from Chinese and Ukrainian interests. This contradicts Joe Biden's statement during the 2020 debate with Donald Trump. While it's unclear if Joe Biden was aware of his son's financial dealings, this blind spot is problematic. Republicans continue to raise this issue, as it remains unresolved in the legal system. However, there is no evidence linking Joe Biden directly to Hunter's business activities. Despite this controversy, it is unlikely to significantly impact voters' opinions.

Speaker 0: And, Kristen, Glenn Kessler from The Washington Post had a fact check about Joe Biden from earlier this month, noting that Hunter Biden admitted in court in July that he was in fact paid substantial sums from Chinese companies. Kessler wrote, Hunter Biden reported nearly $2,400,000 in income in 2017 and $2,200,000 in income in 2018, most of which came from Chinese or Ukrainian interests. But and this directly goes against what Joe Biden said in the debate in 2020 with Donald Trump. Take a listen. My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about? China. What do you mean by that president? He made a fortune in Ukraine, in China, in Moscow. That is simply not true. So it's from 2 different debates. But I mean, Trump was right. I mean, he did make a fortune from China and Joe Biden was wrong. I don't know that he was lying about it. He might not have been told by Hunter, but this blind spot is a problem. Speaker 1: It's a problem, one, because Republicans aren't going to let it go, that's for But also these problems are continuing through the legal system. It's not as though this is something that's been settled in other jurisdictions and Republicans are just harping on it. It is an ongoing thing in our courts. It's not going anywhere. Speaker 0: This is a blind spot. Does it concern you as a Democrat? Well, I think dads sometimes and parents sometimes have blind spots About their kids for sure and the President may be no exception. But nothing has tied the President to any of Hunter Biden's dealings. There's no width of Him being involved or him being implicated in it. And, it's I think it's not something that voters care a lot about. Alright. Thanks to the panel.
