	We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
	Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
	We think too much and feel too little.
	More than machinery, we need humanity.
	We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat.
	As if that's the way it's supposed to be.
	We know things are bad, worse than bad.
	They're crazy.
	Silence!
	The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come.
	You've got to say, "I'm a human being!" God damn it!
	My life has value!
	You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
	Don't give yourselves to brutes!
	Men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
	Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men!
	Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
	Yeah, thank you.
	You're beautiful.
	I love you.
	Yes.
	You're beautiful.
	Thank you.
	Ha-ha.
	It's...
	Showtime!
	And now, reality.
	with Jason Hermes.
	And who loves you?
	And who do you love?
	Hey everybody, Jason Bermas here, and I'm just asking questions.
	And the question that we're going to ask, and we're actually going to get an answer today, is what exactly did Donnie T. say at the World Economic Forum?
	Now, I want to start here.
	I want to start at numero uno.
	Purposely, I did not watch really any of this prior to the broadcast.
	I watched like, I don't know, I caught like maybe two or three minutes of the panel that was talking to him and asking him questions after the fact before I recorded.
	A banger of a Making Sense of the Madness airs for the first time tomorrow at 5 p.m.
	Eastern, but you can watch a clip of it.
	This is a world exclusive.
	I have never heard this before.
	You go watch that clip over on my X account right now.
	And there's a reason that I'm teasing this.
	So there's an authorized autobiography of Alan Dershowitz by a very, very young guy named Solomon Schmidt.
	And I had him on the second half of the broadcast.
	First half was great.
	Dr. Simone Gold, John Rich.
	That's a whole other discussion.
	But in the tail end of it, literally in the last few moments of the interview, I asked him if he has Leslie Wexner in there.
	Because obviously Wexner and Dershowitz had a relationship.
	He had mentioned Virginia Gouffre Roberts.
	I really put the young man on the spot on a few issues.
	He claims, well he doesn't claim, he put it in the book.
	He says that Dershowitz told him there was a rumor going around that the relationship between Epstein and Wexner was one where they had a homosexual relationship and then Epstein blackmailed him because of it.
	Now, I'm not saying that's true.
	I'm just saying that is a bombshell of a rumor, accusation coming out of Dershowitz's mouth via the Epstein thing.
	That no one else has reported on.
	So you want to see that clip?
	It's over on X. What we're going to do here, because I want to be as objective as possible, I want you guys to get my initial reactions, whether I agree or disagree, or I want to put something in context of this remote Davos speech slash forum that is, you guessed it, There he is.
	He is introduced by Klaus Nutschwab himself.
	So this video right there is 45 minutes long.
	This is going to be a banger.
	As I was telling you guys earlier in the week that Trump was going to virtually appear and that a lot of them think this is a long-term shift.
	We're going to see what that is.
	I do want to say this before we get going.
	I thought we would have a laugh.
	Danny Polishchuk, who does amazing work with Ryan Long, but also has a lot of great solo stuff in his own Bathhouse podcast.
	He did a little stand-up comedy, tongue-in-cheek, at the World Economic Forum.
	Wink, wink.
	And we're going to play that set before we play Donnie T at the World Economic Forum.
	So thumbs it up, subscribe, and share.
	Here we go.
	Hey, what's up, everybody?
	My name is Danny Polishuk and I'm going to be your host for this evening's Crystal Awards here at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
	Big round of applause for everybody who came out here tonight.
	All right, that's enough applause, everybody.
	I will say you folks over here in Davos really know how to treat people.
	I was just backstage before I came out here, and the spread was incredible.
	I've never eaten so many different kinds of bugs in my life.
	Nah, just kidding.
	I know you guys aren't the ones who are actually eating the bugs.
	It's just the poor people.
	Speaking of poor people, where's Elon Musk at?
	Elon, is he here?
	Oh, I guess he couldn't make it today because he's too busy losing money.
	A lot of familiar faces in the crowd tonight.
	A lot of familiar faces in the crowd.
	Familiar, of course, to Jeffrey Epstein's pilot.
	I see you.
	You.
	Yeah, a few of you have been to Epstein's Island.
	Don't be bashful.
	Pretty much everyone here tonight flew in on a private jet, as per usual, as per usual.
	I will say, everybody in this room probably released more gas than Klaus Schwab's stinky ass.
	Klaus, I see you over there, Klaus.
	Also, we got our man of the hour tonight, Idris Elba.
	Everybody be a round of applause for Idris Elba.
	Idris Elba, yeah, I guess because you couldn't get to be James Bond in the movies, I figured you'd just come and hang out with some real-life supervillains.
	I'm not sure if Idris Elba, if you're getting paid to be here tonight, or if your payment is Klaus Schwab just letting you see your family ever again.
	Speaking of Klaus Schwab, everybody, round of applause for Klaus Schwab.
	Without that man, there would be no World Economic Forum.
	Klaus, Klaus, where's your fancy getup?
	That crazy leather suit.
	Where'd you get that thing, by the way?
	Villains are us?
	Klaus has famously said that people will own nothing and be happy.
	Well, Klaus, I own nothing and I'm sad.
	Explain that.
	George Soros couldn't make it tonight, unfortunately.
	He had to cancel last minute because he's too busy destabilizing the West.
	All right, everybody.
	Have a great rest of your World Economic Forum.
	And I've been Danny Palaszczuk.
	And if nobody hears from me next week, it's because I've been killed.
	Anyways, have a good night, everybody.
	So there it is.
	I really do love Danny.
	I think he does really good work.
	I enjoy him.
	He's had me on his podcast.
	I need to get Polish Chuck on my show.
	Without further ado, we are going to play it.
	And I'm probably going to be stopping this from time to time.
	But at the same time, I want to give Donnie T a chance to speak for himself.
	Here we go.
	Hello.
	What great honor and pleasure to welcome you back to the Davos community.
	Just four days into your new mandate, we highly appreciate your presence with us today.
	We wish you all the best as you take on your critical work.
	The global challenges we face today are monumental.
	The importance of American leadership and your personal leadership in this regard is fundamental and paramount.
	We are here to hear your vision and policies related to revitalizing the economy and addressing the global challenges.
	As you might expect, Mr. President, your return to office and your forthcoming policies have been at the focus of our discussions this week.
	The discussions among 3,000 political and business leaders from over 130 countries who came together here in Davos.
	We look forward hearing first from you and then to the follow-up discussion with business leaders moderated by my colleague Berge Brende.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
	So I'm just going to stop it there?
	We're going to start it up with the Nutz Schwab himself and his intro.
	Numero uno.
	We've already seen a slight narrative-driven bending of the knee.
	The acknowledgement that his successful re-election and now inauguration and now, what, 72 hours into this bad boy?
	A little bit more?
	It's already sent shockwaves through the international community.
	That's not me going one way or the other, okay?
	Because, again, I think there's a lot of criticism, especially when we saw the Larry Ellison stuff, right?
	What seems to be an extension of Cancer Moonshot with this Stargate project.
	Guys, I'm not being naive.
	At the same time, let's start with the fact that I'm actually glad that Donald Trump did not leave the country to go do this.
	Had this been like a year in, I probably would have wanted him to look at these people face to face.
	But there is so much that needs to be done.
	He's actually going to go to North Carolina, go to L.A. I hope that he also goes to Hawaii in short order.
	The next thing is, you know, obviously Biden was a dementia patient.
	But there is no way that Biden at any moment...
	Even with a padded type panel would have done something like this.
	Okay, but there would have been no reason for it because once again, you're talking about an extension of the establishment and them pretty much knowing that Biden is just going to sign off on whatever because he's not running anything.
	And again, love him or hate him, Trump is trying to run things.
	So with that being said, I'm going to pull back.
	And we're going to get to Donny T. Well, thank you very much, Klaus, and hello to everyone in beautiful Davos.
	This has been a truly historic week in the United States.
	Three days ago, I took the oath of office, and we began the Golden Age of America.
	The recent presidential election was won by millions of votes and all seven, every one of them, all seven swing states.
	It was a massive mandate from the American people like hasn't been seen in many years.
	And some of the political pundits, even some of my so-called enemies, said it was the most consequential election victory in 129 years.
	That's quite nice.
	What the world has witnessed in the past 72 hours is nothing less than a revolution of common sense.
	Our country will soon be stronger, wealthier and more united than ever before.
	And the entire planet will be more peaceful and prosperous as a result of this incredible momentum and what we're doing and going to do.
	My administration is acting with unprecedented speed to fix the disasters we've inherited from a totally inept group of people and to solve every single crisis facing our country.
	This begins with confronting the economic chaos caused by the failed policies of the last administration.
	Over the past four years, our government racked up eight trillion dollars in wasteful deficit spending and inflicted nation wrecking energy restrictions, crippling regulations and hidden taxes like never before.
	The result is the worst inflation crisis in modern history and sky high interest rates for our citizens and even throughout the world.
	Food prices and the price of almost every other thing known to mankind went through the roof.
	President Biden totally lost control of what was going on in our country, but in particular with our high inflation economy and at our border.
	I'm going to pause it there.
	I'll make it short.
	The thing that is not acknowledged about inflation that he'll never acknowledge, and again, this is a problem, I mean, don't get me wrong, all these policies last four years, horrible, is the fact that you had an authoritarian mandate to put an influx of currency, liquid currency, into the populace and print it out of nowhere during the COVID-1984 nightmare.
	You have to remember, during that time period early on, They shut down Wall Street several times and colluded together, all right, how to do this.
	And I know people love those stimulus checks.
	A lot of people got real lazy and they didn't care.
	Ruined a lot of small businesses that worked hard, right?
	So devastated a part of the working economy.
	But then on top of that...
	Drove such a transformation of wealth to the already extremely wealthy.
	I mean, just as an example here, the on-paper wealth of the muskernuts pre-COVID-1984, post-COVID-1984.
	It's not even, it's like woe sauce.
	You get it?
	So that's a problem that we're not acknowledging that.
	And the other thing that we have to acknowledge is we're also on a fast track to a transformative Economy based on the blockchain and electronics.
	And that is coming in a fast track, I'd say, in the next five years in the way that credit cards got normalized.
	Really, I would say mid to late 90s, everybody that was 18 or more had one.
	That wasn't a thing in the 80s slash early 90s.
	Let's get back to Trump.
	Because of these ruinous policies, total government spending this year is $1.5 trillion higher than was projected to occur when I left office just four years ago.
	Likewise, the cost of servicing the debt is more than 230 percent higher than was projected in 2020. The inflation rate we are inheriting remains 50 percent higher than the historic target.
	It was the highest inflation probably.
	In the history of our country.
	That's why from the moment I took office, I've taken rapid action to reverse each and every one of these radical left policies that created this calamity, in particular with immigration, crime and inflation.
	On day one, I signed an executive order directing every member of my cabinet to marshal all powers at their disposal to defeat inflation and reduce the cost of daily life.
	I imposed a federal hiring freeze, a federal regulation freeze, a foreign aid freeze, and I created the new Department of Government Efficiency.
	I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal.
	I call it the Green New Scam.
	Withdrew from the one-sided Paris climate accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate.
	We're going to let people buy the car they want to buy.
	Let's stop it right there.
	Again, whether you like it or not, whether you think he is sincere or not on those issues, the Green News scam, that's literally Trump coming out.
	In front of all of these people, okay, whipping out his wang-dang doodle, husky nuts and all, okay, and taking a hot, steaming, like, coffee and asparagus-driven piss on all of them, okay?
	Again, whether you like it or not, like, that's how I see it.
	Like, if I were to draw myself...
	A nice little political cartoon.
	Maybe AI can draw that one for me.
	Let's not get too graphic.
	Let's have it at an angle.
	But saying those things, that's huge that he does.
	This is why I want him to speak at these type of things.
	So that's where I can get behind him a thousand percent.
	I declared a national energy emergency, and that's so important, national energy emergency to unlock the liquid gold under our feet and pave the way for rapid approvals of new energy infrastructure.
	The United States has the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth.
	And we're going to use it.
	Not only will this reduce the cost of virtually all goods and services, it'll make the United States a manufacturing superpower and the world capital of artificial intelligence and crypto.
	My administration has also begun the largest deregulation campaign in history, far exceeding even the record-setting efforts of my last term.
	In total, the Biden administration imposed $50,000 in additional regulatory costs on the average American household over the last four years.
	I got to sneak it in here because he snuck it in.
	He really just quickly and rapidly went past the AI and crypto.
	Like I said, blockchain is going to be big.
	That agenda...
	Of automation, AI, etc.
	is going nowhere but forward.
	All right?
	And remember, Trump is actually hip to the fact that the AI-driven stuff is going to take a ton of energy.
	He's like the only person talking about it.
	And now he's the President of the United States.
	I suppose that's a good thing.
	But that's not an issue just to gloss over.
	That is one of the epically critical issues of the day.
	Okay, let's continue with Trump.
	I have promised to eliminate 10 old regulations for every new regulation, which will soon put many thousands of dollars back in the pockets of American families.
	To further unleash our economy, our majorities in the House and Senate, which we also took along with the presidency, are going to pass the largest tax cut in American history, including massive tax cuts for workers and family.
	And big tax cuts for domestic producers and manufacturers.
	And we're working with the Democrats on getting an extension of the original Trump tax cuts, as you probably know, by just reading any paper.
	My message to every business in the world is very simple.
	Come make your product in America and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on Earth.
	We're bringing them down very substantially, even from the original Trump tax cuts.
	But if you don't make your product in America, which is your prerogative, then very simply you will have to pay a tariff, differing amounts, but a tariff which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars into our treasury to strengthen our economy and pay down debt.
	Under the Trump administration, there will be no better place on earth to create jobs, build factories, or grow a company than right here in the good old USA. Already, Americans, economic...
	You can see this, I think, maybe even in your wonderful, wonderful room that you're all gathered together.
	together, so many of my friends, but Americans, the economic confidence is soaring like we haven't seen in many, many decades, maybe not at all.
	Upon my election, it was just announced that small business optimism skyrocketed by 41 points in a single month.
	That's the highest ever.
	There's never been anything like that.
	Let me just stop it right there.
	So, I just want to say this.
	When we're talking about the economy, when we're talking about the small business stuff, etc.
	He talked about lower taxes, tax breaks, tariffs.
	We have to remember, you know, it was just a couple days ago during the inauguration, he's talking about this quote-unquote golden age where, you know, you're eliminating that type of tax.
	And he's already alluded to the idea of eliminating a federal income tax.
	Now, I'm not saying, I don't, I think that's, you know, right now, it's still not comprehensible.
	To me, that's even a possibility.
	Boy, that would be Ron Paul-esque to the point where, again, it's just so unbelievable.
	I'm still not even on the hopium train, especially with the fact that he just mentioned what he did, right?
	Now, do I think that he brings the ability for that small business economy to explode?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	I think he can also drive prices down.
	I think the guy's a good business guy.
	He doesn't just talk the talk.
	He does walk the walk in that regard.
	Love him or hate him.
	He cuts deals.
	SoftBank has announced between a $100 and $200 billion investment in the U.S. economy because of the election result.
	And just two days ago, Oracle, SoftBank, and OpenAI announced a $500 billion investment in AI infrastructure.
	Other companies likewise have announced billions and billions and billions, adding up the trillions of investment in America and the United States.
	And it's also reported today in the papers that Saudi Arabia will be investing at least $600 billion in America.
	But I'll be asking the crown prince, who's a fantastic guy, to round it out to around $1 trillion.
	I think they'll do that because we've been very good to them.
	And I'm also going to ask Saudi Arabia and OPEC to bring down the cost of oil.
	You've got to bring it down.
	Let me just start right here.
	Again, like when I was talking about he's a dealmaker.
	I watched that $100 billion, $200 billion conversation.
	We did commentary about it.
	All right?
	He got the $100 billion.
	The guy's super excited.
	He keeps putting them on the spot in front of everybody.
	And we're going to get there and we're going to get there.
	Whether he gets there or not, I bet you he gets more than $100 billion.
	And that's a way to do it.
	All right?
	I mean, that's part of that quote-unquote Trump charm.
	And just like...
	The January 6th pardons were real, just like it's real.
	Ross Ulbricht isn't in jail.
	If we put enough public pressure on things, things become real.
	By the way, I see over 200 people watching.
	We don't even have 100 thumbs up over on the YouTube where it's very hard to get these type of numbers over on this channel.
	Please consider giving a sub, ringing that bell for the notifications.
	And guys, once again, I can't do it without you.
	The link's down below, the Buy Me A Coffee.
	The PayPal, etc.
	Remember, all the documentary films are free.
	I want you to share the info as well.
	Watch the show on Patreon.tv.
	But, 5, 10, 15 bucks, it absolutely means the world to me.
	Let's get back to Trump at Davos.
	Which, frankly, I'm surprised they didn't do before the election.
	That didn't show a lot of love by them not doing it.
	I was a little surprised by that.
	If the price came down, the Russia-Ukraine war would end immediately.
	Right now, the price is high enough that that war will continue.
	You've got to bring down the oil price.
	You've got to end that war.
	They should have done it long ago.
	They're very responsible, actually, to a certain extent, for what's taking place.
	Millions of lives are being lost.
	With oil prices going down, I'll demand that interest rates drop immediately.
	And likewise, they should be dropping all over the world.
	Interest rates should follow us all over the progress that you're seeing.
	Is happening because of our historic victory in a recent presidential election, one that has become quite well known throughout the world.
	I think a lot of things are happening to a lot of countries.
	They say that there's light shining all over the world since the election, and even countries that we aren't particularly friendly with are happy because they understand what...
	There is a future and how great the future will be.
	Under our leadership, America is back and open for business.
	And this week, I'm also taking swift action to stop the invasion at our southern border.
	They allowed people to come in at levels that nobody's ever seen before.
	It was ridiculous.
	I decided and declared to do.
	And very, very importantly, a national emergency on our border immediately halted all entry of illegal border crossers, of which there were many, and began promptly returning the illegal trespassers back to the place from which they came.
	That action, as you've probably seen, has already started very strongly.
	I've deployed active-duty U.S. military and National Guard troops to the border to assist in repelling the invasion.
	It was really an invasion.
	Now, let me just make commentary on this.
	I remember in the beginning of the Biden administration when there was just like outright denial of reality, right?
	Like, for instance, when we're talking about the economy, Janet Yellen and others would sit there and go, oh, we believe inflation is going to be transitory.
	It's transitory.
	Total Johnny nonsense.
	Now, when you talked about the...
	Illegal thing.
	You know, they denied that they were letting people in and processing them.
	People didn't understand that there was an app.
	People really did not believe the fact that they were being flown across the country.
	Okay?
	Now, again, this is a real thing that really was happening.
	I remember, it's probably a year and a half, two years ago now, being...
	At the connecting point from, I was in Tulare, California.
	And then I was in Phoenix, Arizona.
	On my way to Chicago.
	Because this is the one time, usually I fly out of Moline.
	But I flew out of Chicago, which is a couple hours away.
	And my flight got delayed.
	And had a ton of, I have pictures.
	It's on my phone.
	Ton of illegals with their little packages.
	One like little hipster dude, Wrangler guy.
	And the lady is just like, yeah, this is happening all the time.
	And then when I got to Chicago Airport, obviously those people on the plane, but there were a slew of other people, and this is late night, just sitting there waiting for some type of transportation after the fact to be processed or waiting for their next flight to be flown somewhere else in the country.
	This is insane.
	Now...
	I've often discussed, and I still contend, we should not have the Department of Homeland Security, right?
	All these bureaucracies are totally and completely insane.
	That doesn't mean that we didn't have border security beforehand.
	At the same time, I think that Kristi Noem obviously is on board with this entire program.
	A lot of people are familiar with Tom Holman.
	The border's closed again, at least in the sense that the app's done, the free rides are done, ABC News.
	It was running like a program telling you how to beat the system and not do this.
	So let's continue with Donald Trump.
	We will not allow our territory to be violated.
	After four long years, the United States is strong and sovereign and a beautiful nation.
	Once again, it's a strong, sovereign nation.
	In addition, I'm pleased to report that America is also a free nation once again.
	On day one, I signed an executive order to stop all government censorship.
	No longer will our government label the speech of our own citizens as misinformation or disinformation, which are the favorite words of censors and those who wish to stop the free exchange of ideas and, frankly, progress.
	We have saved free speech in America and we've saved it strongly with another historic executive order this week.
	I also ended the weaponization of law enforcement against the American people.
	And Frank?
	Let me, before we get to that, I'm not sure what this executive order means.
	Okay?
	Because, you know, there's always that stupid private company argument.
	Now today, I didn't...
	I didn't reapply for monetization on YouTube yet.
	What I did reapply for is an AdSense account, which you need before you can reapply for monetization.
	I looked to see if I still had an AdSense account or it was terminated along with my YouTube monetization.
	Just so everybody knows, that happened.
	I had terminated the AdSense account.
	I'd probably been demonetized maybe a little bit before that.
	January 31st of 2019. I've been demonetized on this platform for almost six years.
	Over half a decade.
	So if we're going free speech, am I getting monetized again?
	And you know what?
	I want to show this really quick.
	Let's see if I can find it.
	I probably can.
	It might be with Donnie T. It might just be with Donnie T. Let's see.
	Let's see if it's on a Donnie T tab.
	It's not on a Donnie T tab.
	So, that's interesting.
	Maybe I X'd it out.
	I wish I had not.
	But essentially, it says that I was on controversial topics.
	Let me see.
	Let me see if we can bring it right up.
	We might do it live.
	We might do it live.
	You know what?
	I haven't hit that button in a while.
	We'll do it live.
	Okay.
	We'll do it live!
	Fuck it!
	Do it live!
	I'll write it and we'll do it live!
	All right.
	Yeah, see?
	That's fun.
	So, yes.
	Here it is.
	This is great.
	I'm glad we did this.
	Glad we did.
	So just to talk about, okay, what's free speech?
	What's that even mean?
	All right?
	Nowhere here does it even say disinformation, misinformation, malinformation is the reason that I'm not allowed to monetize on YouTube.
	All right?
	So your channel wasn't accepted.
	Now, again, I'm going to get the chance for the reapply.
	But it says harmful content, content that focuses on controversial issues and that is harmful to viewers.
	What does that mean?
	You're talking about stuff we don't like you talking about.
	And that hurts people.
	That says nothing on the relevance of the material and the truthfulness of my content.
	That's wild sauce.
	So look, our country hasn't acknowledged signature reduction.
	That's a big thing that needs to be dealt with.
	I like what he said there.
	We'll see it in practice.
	You can't be having these shadow bans.
	You've got to have an actual meritocracy.
	He's talked about meritocracies before.
	Especially, or we have to repeal the idea, section I believe is 203, that they can't be sued.
	Because obviously they're acting as editors with their algorithms.
	Alright, let's continue on.
	Get that thumbs up, everybody.
	Let's get to 150 thumbs up.
	Help me out here.
	...against politicians and restored the fair, equal and impartial rule of law.
	My administration has taken action to abolish all discriminatory diversity, equity and inclusion nonsense.
	And these are policies that were absolute nonsense throughout the government and the private sector.
	With the recent yet somewhat unexpected great Supreme Court decision just made, America will once again become a merit-based country.
	You have to hear that word.
	Merit-based country.
	And I've made it official, an official policy of the United States, that there are only two genders, male and female.
	And we will have no men participating in women's sports and transgender operations, which became the rage, will occur very rarely.
	So let's just stop it right there.
	First of all, you notice we just said merit-based, right?
	And you just used that word.
	Well, again, we're going to have a merit-based society.
	And we'll get into the trans issue in a moment.
	Then what I just discussed has to be put into place.
	Now, we're going to do this in real time.
	We like doing things in real time.
	So let's see.
	You get to see right here my actual...
	I've had some cold hands and feet lately, especially as cold as it's been in Iowa.
	So let's type it in here.
	Let's type in World Economic Forum and Gender Identity.
	Just that, right?
	The World Economic Forum is big time.
	There it is right there.
	The LGBTI inclusion and the World Economic Forum strategies.
	I mean, look, there's frameworks.
	I mean, guys, job creation, Latin America.
	We've gone...
	Hardcore into this.
	Just like the World Economic Forum is very much not just into the gender identity issue, but the metaverse as well.
	Anything to disassociate you from your biology and your reality, okay?
	So once again, there's an uphill battle there, sir.
	So let's keep going, Trump.
	Finally, as we restore common sense in America, we're moving quickly to bring back strength and peace and stability abroad.
	I'm also going to ask all NATO nations to increase defense spending to 5% of GDP, which is what it should have been years ago.
	It was only at 2%, and most nations didn't pay until I came along.
	I insisted that they pay, and they did.
	Because the United States was really paying the difference at that time, and it was unfair to the United States.
	But many, many things have been unfair for many years to the United States.
	Before even taking office, my team negotiated a ceasefire agreement in the Middle East, which wouldn't have happened without us, as I think most of the people in the room know.
	Earlier this week, the hostages began to return to their families.
	They are returning, and it's a beautiful sight, and they'll be coming in more and more.
	They started coming back on Sunday.
	Our efforts to secure a peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine are now hopefully underway.
	It's so important to get that done.
	That is an absolute killing field.
	Millions of soldiers are being killed.
	Nobody's seen anything like it since World War II. They're laying dead all over the flat fields.
	It's a flat field farmland.
	And there's millions of Russians and millions of Ukrainians.
	Nobody's seen anything like it since World War II. It's time to end it.
	And here in America, we have big events coming up.
	Let me just stop it right there.
	Happy about the ceasefire.
	I hope that there is a real peaceful framework.
	And we can at least...
	It already seems like that.
	Conflict is somewhat de-escalated now.
	We'll see how far that goes.
	Again, hold these people accountable.
	I'm going to be watching for it.
	You know, he's also about to discuss wanting to meet with Putin and just get this whole thing done.
	And I've said it before.
	He should shock the world.
	He should force a three-way meeting with Valdemar Zelensky, Vladimir Putin, and himself, their associates.
	Like I said, meet for several, however long it takes, three, four, five hours, then come out and do a joint press conference between everybody with the framework on how to end this damn thing.
	That's huge.
	I'm not saying that's going to happen, but boy, that would really make some people upset.
	Next year we have the...
	250th anniversary of America's founding.
	I'm so honored to be president during that.
	That's been a big event.
	They've been talking about it for 10 years.
	We also have the World Cup.
	And I understand Gianni's in the room.
	Infantino.
	He was very instrumental in helping us get it.
	He's there with you someplace, I think.
	And I want to thank him for that.
	And then we have the Olympics coming up, which I was instrumental in getting.
	Also in my first term, and who would have known that by skipping a term, I would get the Olympics.
	I was upset.
	I said, you know, I got the Olympics to come and I won't be president.
	But it turned out through a stroke of luck or whatever you might call it, that I'm going to be president during the World Cup and the Olympics and the 250th anniversary.
	So that's going to be three big events.
	And we've accomplished more in less than four days.
	We have really been working four days than other administrations have accomplished in four years.
	And we're just getting started.
	It's really an amazing thing to see.
	And the spirit and the light over our country has been incredible.
	Under the last administration, our nation has suffered greatly.
	But we're going to bring it back and make it greater, bigger, stronger, better than ever before.
	I want to thank everybody for being with you.
	I would have been there myself, except the inauguration was two days ago.
	I thought it might be a little bit quick to make it the first stop.
	But we'll get there one day.
	We hope to get there.
	But I do appreciate.
	I heard the audience is fantastic.
	And many of my friends are in the audience.
	And I will be taking questions now from some very distinguished people.
	Thank you all very much.
	So let's stop it right there.
	Pretty short for Trump, right?
	You're talking about about 15 minutes.
	It's a guy, inauguration night, you know, went well over an hour.
	The questions now go on for the next half hour.
	Not sure whether or not I got to pick my niece up.
	I texted her from school.
	If I don't, we'll watch the whole thing.
	If I do, we're going to get as far as we can.
	So let's continue on with, again, I like this type of open forum.
	You know, let's see what the World Economic Forum has to directly say to Trump and ask him and how he responds.
	Thank you.
	Thank you very much, Mr. President, for that very powerful speech.
	And I think you could hear the applause all the way from Davos to the White House.
	But next year it will be even better because then you can get the applause here in Davos.
	So we wish you welcome to our village next year.
	We hope to see you.
	Thank you very much.
	So, we also know, Mr. President, that you opened up for interaction here.
	We have a great panel with some of the most distinguished business people in the world.
	Let me start with someone that you know really well, that I think is almost a neighbor of you in Florida.
	Mr. Steve Schwarzman, chairman, CEO, and co-founder of Blackstone Group.
	So, Steve, the floor is yours.
	Well, Mr. President, I'm sure the crown prince of Saudi Arabia will be really glad you gave this speech today.
	So for those that don't get that gag, he announced that he expects one trillion from Saudi Arabia, which is interesting.
	Again, that's kind of out of nowhere.
	Blackstone is not BlackRock, but Blackstone is another obviously very powerful and influential economic group that is here at the WEF. You've had the busiest four days that anybody can imagine, and congratulations for that.
	And my question is about some of the things I've observed here at Davos.
	It's a terrific forum.
	I've met lots of people, as usual.
	I think I've been here 30 years.
	And a lot of the European business people have expressed enormous frustration with the regulatory regime.
	In the EU, and they attribute slower growth rates here because of the numerous factors, but especially because of regulations.
	And you've taken a completely different approach in this area.
	And if you could explain the theory of what you're doing, how you're going to do it.
	And what you expect the outcome to be, I'd appreciate it.
	Well, thank you very much.
	And congratulations, Steve.
	You're a friend of mine, but on a great career.
	You have had an amazing career and continues.
	I just want to congratulate you.
	Very inspirational to a lot of people.
	I want to talk about the EU, because you mentioned specifically that I have also had a lot of...
	And I'm going to give you a quick little example.
	In the private life, my beautiful private life, before I had all these...
	Things happening.
	The world is a little different.
	I had a nice, simple life.
	You knew that.
	But when I had that simple life, I did projects.
	And I had a big project in Ireland.
	And it had to get approval on something that would have made it even better.
	And I got the approval from Ireland in a period of a week.
	And it was a very, very, very efficient, good approval.
	And they informed me, though, the problem is you're going to have to get it from the EU, and we think that'll take five to six years.
	And I said, you have to be kidding.
	And this was before politics.
	And I said, wait a minute, it's not that important.
	I don't want to go five or six years, but it would have been a big investment.
	It would have been nice and it would have been good for the project.
	And I sent the people to the EU to see if they could speed it up.
	And basically it was a five or six year wait just to get a simple approval that Ireland gave me in a period of literally not much more than a week.
	And I realized right then that was the first time I really was involved with the EU.
	But I realized right then that's a problem.
	And I didn't even let me just stop right there.
	The European Union, you know, is the brainchild Just like the World Economic Forum is the brainchild of Bilderberg, of that Anglo-American kind of Israeli post-World War II establishment that had their interests meeting in secret.
	And one of the reasons they want the EU is because you have this unelected bureaucracy that basically...
	Gives you the type of, you could call it crony capitalism.
	You could call it, really, it's a type of fascism masked even in crony capitalism, right?
	Masquerading as some kind of a legitimate government when it's none of those things, right?
	That the squeeze is on when your regulations for approvals are going to take five or six years.
	Things are over-regulated.
	I'm not saying we don't need regulations, but this is a real deal thing.
	This keeps most people out of the arena of competition, hence what true capitalism would be about.
	I didn't bother applying to do it, or if I did, I pulled it very quickly.
	I have to be very accurate because I don't want to be criticized.
	He did apply, actually.
	Now I want to be very accurate.
	I don't think I did, but if I did, I pulled it very quickly.
	It was just something you couldn't wait five years or six years to get an approval.
	So, in a very big business sense, a lot of people are claiming that's the problem.
	From the standpoint of America, the EU treats us very, very unfairly, very badly.
	They have a large tax that we know about, and a VAT tax, and it's a very substantial one.
	They essentially don't take our farm products and they don't take our cars, yet they send cars to us by the millions.
	They put tariffs on things that we want to do.
	Like, for instance, I think they actually, in terms of these are non-economic or non-monetary tariffs, and those are very bad.
	And they make it very difficult to bring products into Europe, and yet they expect to be selling, and they do sell their products in the USA. So we have, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars of deficits with the EU. And nobody's happy with it, and we're going to do something about it, but nobody's happy with it.
	So I think the EU has to speed up their process.
	Friends of mine that are in some of the nations within the EU, great people, they...
	Want to be able to compete better, and you can't compete when you can't go through the approval process fast.
	There's no reason why it can't go faster.
	So, you know, I'm trying to be constructive because I love Europe.
	I love the countries of Europe, but the process is a very cumbersome one.
	And they do treat the United States of America very, very unfairly with the VAT taxes and all of the other.
	Taxes they impose.
	One other, just to finish up, I got a call from the head of a major airline, one of the biggest airlines in the world, and he said, sir, could you help us what?
	Landing in Europe is brutal.
	They charge us fees for everything, and it's so unfair.
	I said, how does it compare to China?
	He said, it's much worse.
	And the other thing, as you know, they took court cases with Apple.
	And they supposedly won a case that most people didn't think was much of a case.
	They won $15 or $16 billion from Apple.
	They won billions from Google.
	I think they're after Facebook for billions and billions.
	These are American companies, whether you like them.
	They're not really American companies.
	Plenty of international investments.
	At the same time, the censorship that the EU is all about, and again, the inability...
	To challenge that on a, man, I don't even want to say a level playing field because you've seen what's happened in other countries through the EU with arrests of people for thought crimes.
	Extremely dangerous.
	And I'm not trying to lionize Elon Musk or aggrandize him, but even those base level cases are extremely dangerous.
	I like nothing about the EU, but you look at...
	Brexit and the British trying to get out of the EU. They were supposed to.
	Somehow, someway, they just, no, not going to do it.
	You look at France and the yellow vest protests.
	Again, they're not out of the EU. They don't want the EU either.
	So that's another stronghold of this globalist unit that...
	The new, I don't want to say administration, really, the new pushback, populist pushback of the people has to go full throttle against in the narrative and any way possible to eliminate or dissipate their power.
	They're American companies and they shouldn't be doing that.
	And that's, as far as I'm concerned, it's a form of taxation.
	So we have some Very big complaints with the EU. Thank you.
	Thank you very much, Mr. President.
	We'll now go to one of your friends in the EU, Patrick Poyano.
	He is the chairman and CEO of Total Energies.
	I guess you have a question ready, Patrick, for the President.
	Mr. President, as we understand, energy is at the top of your agenda, and it's an honor for me to represent the energy industry tonight in this panel.
	Total Energies is indeed the fourth largest oil and gas and electricity company in the world.
	I will not ask you a question about the oil price.
	It's quite clear what you expect from us.
	I will go to gas more.
	And our company is the largest number one exporter LNG. from the US company.
	We are a strong contributor to, and we invest in a mammoth LNG projects in Texas, 20 billion dollars.
	It's far from 200, but it's 20 billion dollars.
	And we contribute with that to security of supply to Europe, as we export this LNG to Europe.
	Some experts fear that if there are too many projects developed in the US... On LNG, this could have an inflationary impact on the US domestic gas price.
	And they recommend a pause on these projects.
	I would ask you the following question.
	What are your views about such a pause on investments on LNG in the US? What would happen if you would observe an increased domestic gas price because of these exports?
	And final question, which is important for Europe.
	Well, on the last part of your question, yes, I would.
	I would make sure that you get it.
	If we make a deal, we make a deal.
	You'll get it.
	Because a lot of people do have that problem.
	They make a deal and then it can't get supplied because of war-type problems and other problems.
	So we would absolutely do that.
	LNG is very interesting because when I took office for the first term, one of the first things I found There were two very massive plants in Louisiana, a state that has been very good to me, won it by many, many points.
	And I felt strongly indebted to it, actually.
	And they said there are two plants that have been under environmental consideration for more than 10 years.
	And they were costing, as you say, you know how expensive those plants are, but they were costing like $12 billion and I think $14 or $15 billion.
	But they couldn't get their permits.
	They were in review for years, many, many years, like a decade or more.
	And I said, so ridiculous.
	I know so much about that because in the construction industry, I had to go through it too, but I got good at it after a while.
	But I went, I saw the projects, and you're talking about a total investment of $25 to $30 billion, and it looked like it was going to end.
	They couldn't get their permits.
	And I got them done in less than a week.
	It was done, completed.
	In fact, when they called them to announce that it was done, the countries, largely countries, Japan was involved and another country and some very big investors, they couldn't believe it.
	They actually couldn't believe it.
	And I said...
	Just do yourself one favor.
	Don't pay any consultants because the only one that got it done was me.
	I got it done because it was the right thing to do for the U.S. and for the world.
	But the consultants had nothing to do with it.
	You know, the consultants go in and they say, give us millions of dollars because Trump did it.
	Nobody called me about it.
	I just heard it was a problem for years.
	And I got it done because it was the right thing to do for the U.S. and the right thing to do for beyond.
	It had to do with energy.
	Very important.
	I think it's very important.
	I disagree with one.
	I think the more that you do, the lower the price is going to go.
	And what I'd like to see is rapid approvals.
	We're going to get very rapid approvals in the United States, like with the AI plants, talking to many people who want to build them.
	That's going to be a very big thing.
	Let me just stop right there.
	Again, he just slips it in there.
	The AI plants.
	The AI plants.
	And we already have these large corporations talking about these mini nuclear plants.
	From what I've seen, I know there are some people that warn me, no, no, we don't want to go back to nuclear, etc., etc.
	These, you know, what are they now, third, fourth, maybe even fifth generation nuclear plants are not even the same type of thing that were built in the 70s and the 80s largely, right?
	It's a totally different thing.
	We have to remember we have modular nuclear power for submarines and other military equipment.
	Now, I understand that a lot of this has been classified probably overly so, okay?
	But they're going to utilize this technology for artificial intelligence and themselves.
	And, you know, again, that's why we have to apply pressure that the people get this too.
	We're going to build electric generating facilities.
	They are going to build.
	I'm going to get them the approval.
	Under emergency declaration, I can get the approvals done myself without having to go through years of waiting.
	And the big problem is we need double the energy we currently have in the United States.
	Can you imagine?
	For AI to really be as big as...
	We want to have it because it's very competitive.
	It'll be very competitive with China and others.
	So I'm going to give emergency declarations so that they can start building them almost immediately.
	And I think it was largely my idea because nobody thought this was possible.
	It wasn't that they were not smart because they're the smartest.
	But I told them that what I want you to do is build your electric generating plant right next to your plant as a separate building connected.
	And they said, wow.
	You're kidding.
	And I said, no, no, I'm not kidding.
	You don't have to hook into the grid, which is old and, you know, could be taken out.
	If it's taken out, they wouldn't have any way to get any electricity.
	So we are going to allow them to go on a very rapid basis to build their plant, build the electric generating plant.
	They can fuel it with anything they want.
	And they may have coal as a backup.
	Good, clean coal.
	You know, if there were a problem with a pipe coming in, as an example, you're going with gas, oil and gas, and a pipe gets blown up or for some reason doesn't work, there are some companies in the U.S. that have coal sitting right by the plant so that if there's an emergency, they can go to that short-term basis and use our very clean coal.
	So that's something else that a lot of people didn't even know about.
	Nothing can destroy cold, not the weather, not a bomb, nothing.
	Nothing.
	It might make it a little smaller, might make it a little different shape.
	But coal is very strong as a backup.
	It's a great backup to have that facility and it wouldn't cost much more money.
	And we have more coal than anybody.
	We also have more oil and gas than anybody.
	So we're going to make it so that the plants will have their own electric generating facilities attached right to their plant.
	They don't have to worry about a utility.
	They don't have to worry about anything.
	And we're going to get very rapid approvals.
	You know, I'm going to leave my commentary limited.
	On the coal, the gas, the oil stuff, other than I'm ready to start paying $2 and $2.50 for premium gas again.
	I've been tasting that $4 mark and sometimes much more for a while.
	I'm in Iowa where it's actually not too bad.
	In fact, I love the fact I'm able to get ethanol-free gas in this state where you can't get that in most.
	But one of that parts of the Trump effect is...
	You know, if he's able to implement these policies and they start going through in rapid fashion, I'm hoping in three months, six months, that becomes a reality.
	Thank you.
	Thank you so much, Mr. President.
	We'll now go to another CEO that you know very well, Brian Monan, the CEO and chair of Bank of America.
	Good afternoon, Mr. President, and congratulations and obviously a ventful week for you and your family.
	If you remember five years ago, you came here and we walked among 150 CEOs from all over the world and you engaged with them about your policies and your procedures.
	This year you're not here, and yet this week was eventful from the orders that you mentioned earlier.
	Literally a wave of orders coming out on immigration, on trade, and many other matters.
	And so, as a representative of the United States here...
	We got a lot of questions about what does all this mean and how would the President square this with his clear focus on growth, prosperity, stock market growth, a good bond market, and bringing down prices.
	So how do you think about the impact of all these orders and how fast they come out and how you're going to balance them with that scorecard of being successful in both continuing GDP growth, bringing down inflation, and also having a good stock price appreciation for the American citizen?
	Well, I think it's going to actually bring down inflation.
	It's going to bring up jobs.
	We're going to have a lot of jobs.
	We're going to have a lot of companies moving in.
	You know, Brian, we're at 21 percent.
	It was at 40 percent, and I got it down to 21 percent, the corporate tax.
	And it was actually, if you look at state and city, it was in many cases much higher than 40 percent.
	I got it down to 21 percent.
	And now we're going to bring it down from 21 to 15 percent if, there's a big if, if you make your product in the U.S. So we're going to have the lowest, just about the lowest rate.
	It'll be the 21 is on the low side worldwide.
	The 15 is about as low as it gets.
	And by far the lowest of a large country, a large.
	You know, rich, powerful country by far, not even a contest.
	So we're going to bring it down to 15 percent if you make your product in the USA. So that's going to create a tremendous buzz.
	We're also probably going back to the one year deduction where we deduct, you know, we did that originally.
	And that was amazing what the impact that that had, the one year deduction, which built up over a period of time and then it expires.
	But we're going to go back to that when we do the renewal of the Trump tax plan.
	We have to get Democrats to approve it.
	But, you know, if the Democrats didn't approve it, I don't know how they can survive with about a 45 percent tax increase, because that's what it would be.
	And so I think they're going to do it.
	We've been working along with them pretty well.
	I think it's very hard for a political group to say, let's charge people 45 percent more.
	So I think we're in good shape.
	But we're actually doing a reduction for business and small businesses where you're going to bring it down to 15%, which is really something.
	And by the way, speaking of you, and you've done a fantastic job, but I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank.
	And that included a place called Bank of America.
	conservative.
	They don't take conservative business.
	And I don't know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what, but you and Jamie and everybody, I hope you're going to open your banks to conservatives because what you're doing is wrong.
	Number one.
	Glad he said that.
	Number Number two, I'm so sick of this conservative liberal thing.
	Yes, conservatives were debanked.
	But really, anybody that was...
	Anti-establishment narrative ineffective.
	They've been debanked too.
	Same thing with platforms like PayPal, etc.
	These services have to be open to everybody's political views, even if indeed they are grotesque or thought of by the majority.
	Okay?
	As grotesque.
	Period.
	Speech you don't like.
	It has to continue to be protected.
	You know, banking cannot be involved in that.
	Okay?
	Criminal activity, that's another thing, but banks love cartel and drug dealers.
	They love it!
	Love it!
	Can't get enough of that wonderful stuff.
	Let's continue.
	Mr. President, I'll say that...
	Your friend Gianni said hello, told me to tell you hello, and we look forward to sponsoring the World Cup when it comes both this summer for the club and next year.
	So thank you for getting that to the United States.
	Thank you very much, Brian.
	Thank you, Mr. President.
	We'll now go to Anna Butin.
	She's the executive chairman of Banco Santander, one of the big European banks, and also in the U.S. So, Anna.
	Mr. President, congratulations on a historic victory.
	I believe you don't know me as well as my fellow panelists, so a few words.
	Santander is one of the largest banks in the world by number of customers, 170 million.
	That's more than my friend Brian or my friend Jamie have.
	And those...
	They fix the regulations.
	That's coming, that's coming.
	That was cheeky.
	We're a big investor in the United States.
	We have many million customers, 12,000 employees.
	We're one of the largest auto lenders.
	And we recently launched a fully digital bank called Open Bank.
	We strongly believe banks have a pivotal role in the economy and we can accelerate growth and help many more customers.
	That's what we're doing in the United States.
	As Brian pointed out, we very much welcome your focus on deregulation and reducing bureaucracy.
	So my question is, what are your priorities in this regard and how fast is this going to happen?
	Thank you very much.
	I think it's going to thank you and congratulations.
	I know very much about your bank and you've done a fantastic job.
	Congratulations.
	We are going to move very quickly.
	We've moved very quickly.
	We've done things in the last three days that nobody thought were possible to do in years.
	And it's all taking effect.
	It's going to have a huge impact on the economy, a huge positive impact.
	Money was being wasted on crazy things.
	I mean, the Green New Deal was such a total disgrace, how that was perpetrated.
	And it was conceived of...
	By people that were average students, less than average students, I might add, and never even took a course in energy or the environment.
	It was just a game.
	Remember the world was going to end in 12 years?
	Remember that?
	Well, the 12 years has come and gone.
	It was going to end.
	It was going to all foam into Earth.
	But, you know, the time has come.
	These people, and they really scared the...
	Democrats, large.
	I can't say the Republicans.
	Republicans maybe could have fought harder to stop it, but it's been a tremendous waste of money.
	You know, during my four years, we had the cleanest air, we had the cleanest water, and yet we had the most productive economy in the history of our country.
	We had the most productive economy.
	Now, let me just say this again.
	I love any time that he exposes the actual agenda.
	Behind the climate, Johnny Nonsense.
	Okay, I do.
	The real question was about banks.
	You heard about OpenBank.
	I've already talked about digital money, blockchain, AI. That's pushing forward.
	That's pushing forward.
	Until COVID came, we had the most productive in the history of our country by far.
	And actually, you can look worldwide.
	We were beating everybody from China to everybody else.
	And we think we really now, with what we have learned and all of the other things that have taken place, we think we can even far surpass that.
	Actually, far, far surpass it.
	But one thing we're going to be demanding is we're going to be demanding respect from...
	Other nations.
	Canada.
	We have a tremendous deficit with Canada.
	We're not going to have that anymore.
	We can't do it.
	I don't know if it's good for them.
	As you probably know, I say you can always become a state.
	And if you're a state, we won't have a deficit.
	We won't have to tariff you, etc., etc.
	Let me just stop that with the Canada stuff.
	I know there's a lot of people talking about a rebrand of the North American Union.
	I really hope all that stuff is really tongue-in-cheek.
	At the same time, there's a part of me that doesn't love the fact that Canada is still basically a part of that royalty-based system.
	Right?
	Basically a proxy for European bloodlines.
	Period.
	But that's, you know, a topic for another day.
	Unfortunately, guys, there is about eight and a half more minutes of this.
	I gotta go pick up my niece and...
	Once again, I could really use your support.
	5, 10, 15 bucks.
	Hillary donated during the broadcast.
	Thank you so much.
	Means the world to me.

	And right here, let's see.
	What?
	It didn't have...
	Oh, that's right.
	It'll have it later.
	Here it is right here.
	This is the author of the authorized biography of Alan Dershowitz talking about how Alan Dershowitz said there was a rumor out there that Leslie Wexner and Epstein were having a homosexual relationship and that Epstein extorted Wexner from that front.
	Go watch it yourself.
	The entire interview is going to be tomorrow on Patriot TV. Remember that show airs every single weekday at 5 p.m.
