Sheila Gunn-Reid and Rick Igersich of Canada’s National Firearms Association warn that the Liberal leadership election could expand gun bans, hitting competitors like Melody Felson and manufacturers such as Lockhart Tactical. The December 15th bullpup ban and rumored February restrictions on rifles like SKSs and Lee Enfields—popular among hunters—risk confiscation and overseas shipment, despite non-standard calibers. Igersich calls it a politically driven disarmament strategy, urging $35 NFA membership and grassroots action to protect freedoms. Meanwhile, Gunn-Reid exposes the World Economic Forum’s hypocrisy in Davos, where attendees preach carbon reduction while using private jets and luxury transport, framing their ideology as a radicalized "you’ll own nothing" cult.

Is there another gun grab coming our way in the middle of February?
The people who pay attention to this stuff seem to think so.
I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and you're watching The Gunn Show.
This show and this interview that you're about to watch, I've been trying to schedule this interview since the beginning of December, but our schedules just wouldn't line up.
I was traveling for work when he was available and then he was traveling for work when I was available.
But we finally, finally were able to align the stars.
And today, my friend Rick Igersich from Canada's National Firearms Association joins us to discuss the upcoming liberal leadership election and potentially the next, if the NDP will let us have it, general election and what that means for Canadian firearms owners and the last gun grab, which happened in December, and a potential upcoming one happening in February.
We've got a lot to talk about, so I'm going to button it up and you're going to watch the interview I recorded earlier today.
Take a listen.
So joining me now is good friend of the show, good friend of Rebel News, and a fierce champion for freedom, Rick Igersich of Canada's National Firearms Association.
Rick, I've been meaning to have you on the show for a couple of months.
Our schedules just wouldn't line up because we are both so busy.
But I wanted to first and foremost talk to you about the latest liberal gun ban that, again, they are just ramming through without the scrutiny of parliament.
And you and I were talking off camera about the potential for another gun ban again while parliament is completely pro-rote.
So the government does not have a mandate to do these things and still they're going to do them.
So tell us, take us all the way back to the latest gun ban and then walk us through the next one that's coming.
Oh, thanks for having me on your show again, Sheila.
Yeah, let's go back to December where the liberals in their wisdom decided to drop another gun ban on us.
This one really affected a lot of people.
They basically banned bullpup style semi-automatics and pistol caliber carbies.
Now, this pistol caliber carbine thing is really, really reaching out in all directions.
We've been working with a couple of IPSC executors by the name of Melody Felson and Taylor Reich, both out of Calgary.
Yeah, both out of Alberta.
And they're scheduled to compete in the World Championship pistol carbon rounds in Chesnea in May, and now they can't go because their rifles became prohibited.
Their rifles are in the safe, just like the original Ordering Council AR-15s and the other 1800 rifles that were pulled off at the same time in May 2020.
This has been going on since May 2020.
But with that said, it also affected Canadian industry.
Lockhart Tactical out of British Columbia.
They did everything they could to stay within the guidelines to produce firearms, to create jobs, collect taxes in Canada.
And now the firearms they produce became prohibited.
You know, we've been working with them, trying to trying to, you know, put their plight out there on our social media.
People just don't realize what this band did.
Other businesses affected were Kodiak Arms, Healing Ontario, a producer of firearms, Crusader, another company out of Ontario.
And, you know, there's many more Canada-wide that, you know, we don't have enough time to mention.
This whole deal was originally put forward as another liberal political ploy to gain support.
Didn't work this time.
People basically wrote it off in about a day and a half.
And then with that said, the public safety minister said that there's going to be another addition to the firearms band in the middle of February.
The word we've been getting is that there's going to be SKSs involved, possibly Lee Enfields, military, World War I military rifles, Ross rifles, anything with a capacity of more than five rounds.
This is, it's nothing short of ridiculous of what the liberals are doing.
But at the end of the day, it's backfiring on them.
There's definitely an election in the air.
Sheila and I were just discussing before the show whether it's going to happen or not.
Judneed Singh is so unpredictable that he's looking for any way to stay connected to the liberals.
He's more of a liberal than a lot of the liberals that are working under Trudeau right now.
So, you know, that's where we're at.
But, you know, we'll talk a little later.
Paul, Pierre Polyev has made some statements.
You know, absolutely group.
What are they called?
They made a statement a few days ago that Peter Polyev is soft on gun safety because he's working with Canada's National Firearms Association.
They actually put that out in social media a few days ago.
Unbelievable.
And Polyev has been sticking to his, no pun intended, sticking to his guns.
So, you know, that's kind of where we're at right now.
They've been changing public safety ministers as they, you know, as much as some people change their clothes.
So I don't know.
I don't know who this McGinty guy is.
I don't know a lot about him, but he's been really quiet on the firearms issue.
So I don't know.
We'll see.
I guess we'll see who it is next week, Sheila.
We'll see who the next public safety minister is.
But then again, at the end of the day, this is all under approval of parliament.
So I, you know, it's hard to, it's hard to understand.
You know, the idea that they are going to go in and ban the SKS, they floated this the first time around when they did their massive ban.
I think it was in the first one.
There's so many gun bans happening the last four years.
I've lost track of when they all happened, but they floated the idea that they would get rid of the SKS.
The SKS is one of Canada's most popular firearms.
For those people who don't know, they were completely unregistered.
They are cheap, affordable to shoot.
They have been available for years at gun shows.
They are not a crime gun, by the way.
So they don't even know how many of them there are.
So for them to now say, we can go get them from some people and now put a price tag on what it's going to cost to compensate all those people for the firearms.
The liberals have no clue.
They're completely making this up.
But this is what they do when they are plummeting in the polls.
They pull out abortion and firearms.
And we've watched them do both.
The pro-lifers and the firearms community, they seem to be the whipping boys for the liberals every time they fall in the polls.
Absolutely.
You know, and there's the other thing too.
We've been getting wind.
There's a lot, you know, they came up with this price list a little while back.
And there's a lot of people out there.
You know, I'll give you an example.
A P-Meg for an AR-15, normally sold for about 25 or 30 bucks a plastic magazine, blocked to five rounds to fit in an AR-15.
They put this list together to pull these parts and magazines off the street.
And some of the prices are triple and quadruple.
So people are taking advantage of that.
I heard actually, and I've been on the road and my people have been on the road talking to Canadians in the States and all over Canada.
I heard that a lot of these dealers are turning these parts that are connected to some of these firearms on the Order and Council.
And they're getting paid.
No, they're turning them in.
Nobody's got paid yet, as far as I know, but all these parts are showing up.
Colt Canada is destroying these parts supposedly for the government.
All these parts are going to Colt Canada in Kitchener.
And that's where these parts are supposedly being destroyed.
Now, everybody's happy.
Oh, you know, I've got skids of AR-15 magazines that I'm paying $8 for and I'm getting $60 for.
But, you know, the elephant in the room is I haven't heard of anybody getting paid.
Government is pro-roll.
And where is the money for this?
Right now, there's no support in Canada for industry groups.
There's a group out there sold out to the government, you know, created these lists.
I just came back from Safari Club International in Nashville, talking to hunters in there.
And hunting in Canada, especially in the West, as far as sheep, moose, bear is big.
It's big revenue for Canada.
It's big taxes for Canada.
It's huge.
And these people are having trouble bringing their guns in.
So we went down to talk to these people.
We created a pamphlet.
It's on our website on how to bring guns into Canada and the problems that you might get into at the border.
And a lot of people have been getting into problems at the border crossing.
So you created this pamphlet to help everybody.
But it's beyond that.
It's the liberal government is so-called doing conservation, which they're not.
They're actually, they're actually messing up the moose herd.
They're at Blackburn Ontario are running rampant because they closed the season for a few years.
There's more to it.
And everybody that I spoke to at Safari Club was concerned about what's going on in Canada.
Canada is the go-to for big game hunting.
And these people, these liberals have no idea how this is hurting tourism, how it's hurting income coming into these small towns, you know, income coming into these guides.
It's ridiculous.
There's no end to it.
This whole firearms ban thing, this whole, well, you know, we're going to hug some trees and we're going to try to save these animals has blown completely out of portion and it's blown out of proportion worldwide because it wasn't just Americans down there.
It was people from around the world that hunt in Canada.
And, you know, it's not like these guys are spending peanuts.
When they go on a sheep hunt, some sheep hunts are $125,000.
These people pay $125,000 to put into the Canadian economy.
And now it's questionable whether or not they can do that.
Same thing at SHOT Show.
I was, SHOT SHOW was on at the same time as SCI.
My guys were at SHOT Show.
Our lobbyists, Tom Blair, Nathaniel, and Chuck were down there.
The biggest concern at SHOT Show, we found this year, and we talked to all the Canadian people.
We'll go down there to talk to a couple of things.
American advocacy groups that are on the same line as us and Canadian vendors, wholesalers, retailers.
The biggest concern in Canada is, number one, the Canadian industry groups have absolutely no representation.
This isn't me saying this.
This is them saying it.
They have no representation in Canada.
NFA will definitely be working on that to get them some representation in Ottawa.
The people that are representing them right now are the people that sold out for three quarters of a million dollars.
And now they created this list.
Now, apparently some of these people are happy because they're turning in all their parts, but nobody's got a check yet.
So I don't know where this whole thing's going.
This government change, our lobbyist has been working every day.
I think I, like you, Sheila, I hear a different story every day.
One day, Jugmead saying he's going to do this.
The next day, you know, there's going to be a legal action.
The next day, oh, yeah, there's going to be an election on the 25th of March.
It's a never-ending, almost like it's a never-ending chain of lies.
You know, is the is my opinion.
And a lot of Canadians are thinking the same way.
Liberals forget that the firearms community can move a lot of votes in one direction.
I think it was the firearms community that led to Stephen Harper's majority because his commitment to get rid of the long gun registry.
Now, you said you didn't know much about the new public safety minister and why bother getting to know him?
He'll probably be one of four before the liberals are done.
And, you know, quite likely they'll be unelected very, very soon.
But I do know a little bit about the associate minister, Rachel Ben Dayan.
Justin Trudeau Clones00:04:52
She is a rabid anti-gunner.
She's one of those people who says assault weapons, well, what does that mean?
Should be used on the battlefield and not in our communities.
They use the vague terminology.
So having her as the associate minister in public safety makes her the, I think she sets the tone for the ministry going forward.
And as we pointed out earlier, they don't care if they don't have a mandate.
This is an agenda-driven thing to disarm the Canadian public and to make sure that they're never even compensated for the wrong done to them.
There's a lot of stuff going on.
And one thing I forgot to say is when they came up with this extension to this order and council gun ban in December, they say, oh, we're going to take some of these firearms and we're going to send them overseas, you know, to the Ukraine.
And basically, the Ukrainians are saying, we don't want your five-shot semi-automatic rifles.
You know, we want AK-47s and M4s.
We don't want, you know, guns that there's no way a shape and form can be converted into the mini 14 ranch rifle.
You know, and, you know, and a lot of these, you know, this is how closed-minded the liberals are.
They think any AR-50 is a 223 or 556, which is basically the same thing.
And it's a military round.
And, you know, they can ship it over and they can use this and that.
There is dozens of calibers that these AR-15s are in.
Two or three different calibers that Ruger Ranch rifles are in.
So what are they going to do?
Send a box of guns and say, well, okay, I got to find a round for this one.
Okay, that's a 308.
That's a 6.5.
Oh, oh, there's a 300 block out in there.
We don't have those.
You know, stuff they push out is ridiculous.
Their thoughts are ridiculous.
They don't think anything out.
They don't research anything.
It's all election wedge issues.
It's all stuff to garner votes in Canada.
People are seeing through that.
This December 15th ban, people forgot about it.
And we were talking earlier probably in about 45 minutes.
It didn't affect anybody.
I don't think it changed the vote.
They're grasping because they're in trouble.
You know, Sheila and I were talking earlier about these potential next leaders of the Liberal Party, Mark Carney and Christopher Freeland.
Yeah.
You know, Justin Trudeau clones people.
You have to realize that they're Justin Trudeau clones.
They're doing everything they can, including stuff which I don't think is legal to try to get themselves elected again.
I don't know, Sheila.
I don't know.
This country is in a mess and we need some big changes real quick.
Yeah, you know, between Carney and Freeland, which WEF leader are we going to get?
I guess that's what it comes down to.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Let's toss a coin.
Well, you know what?
I look at it this way.
Which one is going to put more money in Justin Trudeau's pocket?
I think probably that'll be the next leader.
Mark Carney, billionaire.
I've been seeing a lot of, you know, it's almost in the firearms lane.
I've been seeing a lot of interesting stuff about Carney popping up on the internet lately, you know, about his past and stuff.
So we'll just leave it at that.
Like I said, I tried, you know, I like to stay in the firearms lane, but funny, Connie has not mentioned firearms, which is, which is.
That's a great point.
I'll see if we can ask him if he doesn't call the cops on Independent Journalists.
And let's put that question to him.
Well, I think you're the only one that hasn't been arrested yet.
You know what?
I broke my teeth on the getting arrested and thrown out of things much earlier than everybody else.
I was thrown out of the Alberta legislature by Rachel Notley, and I was also interrogated over a book I wrote about Rachel Notley.
So not to say that I haven't been hassled by the cops in the course of my duties here at Rebel.
Hopefully you're having a good time with this podcast, but I guarantee a better time would be coming to Alaska with me, Drea Humphrey, and my other Rebel colleagues.
You've got to find out more at our special website, RebelNewsCruise.com, but it's taking place June 18th to June 25th, a vacation trip of a lifetime.
Reach Out, Write Letters00:13:24
Again, that's rebelnewscrews.com.
I'll see you there.
And you know what?
I'm glad you touched on that ridiculous plan to confiscate guns from Canadians and then just send them over to Ukraine.
Because underlying all of that is a fundamental flaw in the logic of the Canadian anti-gun movement.
It's that they think I should not be able to defend my own life with my firearms against an intruder, but they firmly believe it's my patriotic duty to allow a Ukrainian to do it with my firearms.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The reason it doesn't make any sense.
We want to take these guns out of the hands of law-abiding Canadians because in a one in a million quite literally they might use this gun to protect themselves.
But no, we're going to put these guns in people's hands that are going to be shooting at each other every day.
Right.
There's no sense to it.
You know, it's basically the old, you know, have your cake and eat it too, because that's exactly what this is.
Well, they are over here saying our hunting rifles are weapons of war.
And then they want to confiscate them from us and then turn them into weapons of war instead of the benevolent hunting rifles they are for us here.
Now, Rick, I wanted to have you on because, as I said, the firearms community can sway a lot of votes if they get organized.
So I wanted to pick your brain about some of the ways that people can get involved in helping change this government.
Right now, right now, with an election looming, you need to reach out to your candidates of record and MPs, anybody that's going to be running in the next race, you have to bring firearms to the forefront.
You have to tell them that there's two point, who knows how many million firearms owners out there that want to keep their personal property.
Reach out to your MPs, talk to them, send letters.
Letters work.
When I gave evidence at the Senate, the senators were overwhelmed by letters that were coming in.
Their systems couldn't handle it.
And I was approached afterward and said, what'd you guys do?
You know, what'd you do?
Senator a generic letter out there and have them sending it send it to us.
I said, well, you know what?
Maybe I should sit down and read some of those letters because everyone is different.
You know, this whole thing of, you know, sitting in the weeds and being quiet, those days are done.
It's just not us.
You know, it's about our personal property.
It's about our freedom.
And other people are jumping on board with us.
They're not firearms, people.
There's people joining the NFAs that don't own firearms, but they care about their personal property.
They care about their property rights and they care about their freedom.
And that's a big thing right now.
You know, this, we can't let this liberals run rampant and try to take this government again.
We need to, we, we're a big voice in Canada.
We need to be heard.
Talk to your friends.
Talk to your neighbors.
Man, Chris was at my house when the in-laws come in.
They're, you know, I deal with all political colors.
And at the end of the day, I stick to my guns.
I don't back down.
They backed out.
The problem with people that vote liberal vote, they're colorblind.
They don't look at the, I'm probably going out on a limb here, but they don't look at the facts.
They don't know what's going on, what these people are doing to them, what they're doing to us.
We're not the problem.
Sheila, you and I are not the problem.
We're law-abiding firearms owners.
Our parents were firearms owners and our grandparents were firearms owners.
And there was never any issues until it became a political issue.
And that's what the problem with the whole deal is right now.
They're dragging firearms into Ottawa, into politics to garner votes.
And that's not right.
Why not drag bad pens?
Drag pens into, pens could be dangerous if you stab somebody with it.
It's ridiculous.
So like what I say, the NFA is definitely gearing up for this election.
We're going to be putting stuff out on all the candidates, what their position is on firearms, where they stand.
And, you know, we're not just going to be reaching out to the conservatives.
We're going to be reaching out to everybody and getting their positions.
And if, you know, if their position doesn't match your thoughts, you know, vote for the person that does, because the biggest thing is to, and I know I'm dragging on here, but people don't want to get out and vote.
People do not want to get out and vote.
You know, they say, well, you know what?
They'll never come and take my guns.
How many times did I hear that before the ordering council and the handgun trees?
I'm not worried.
They're not going to take my guns.
Oh, well, I got 25 handguns and now I can't leave them to my heirs.
What do I do, Rick?
What do I do?
Well, there's a couple of things you could do.
The biggest thing is keep them in the state as long as you can.
And the NF, Canada's National Firearms Association now has a firearms business license and will hold those guns until either a government changes or something else changes where those guns can be passed down or sold, you know, to help the families out.
I think we'll probably in the next little while, we're going to be into the, this is, this is breaking news for you, Sheila, but we'll be, we'll be talking.
I think we should have another get together in the next little while and talk about where we're going with this because there's just not enough time in this show.
But yeah, there's big things happening in the NFA.
Like I said, like I mentioned earlier, there's a big thing happening with industry too and industry.
And this is just kind of a sneak peek.
Let's get together in a couple of weeks and talk about that because there's some big things happening in the NFA right now.
Yeah, definitely.
I look forward to that.
You guys are not just people who talk about the problem, but you also work on solving the problem, which I think is one of the things we do at Rebel News.
Not only do we report the problem, but we get involved in fixing it.
So I admire what you're doing there.
And just some advice to people out there.
If you have a liberal MP, write them too.
Look at what's happening right now.
We've got them backtracking on the carbon tax.
Ruby Dahl is going to deport everybody.
Like if you, they're weak right now.
You can get them rattled.
And, you know, if anything, you just expose them as a bunch of flip-floppers, which discredits them in the public.
And that's a win too.
Yeah, absolutely.
And you know what?
Education.
There's a lot of CPC candidates out there that aren't educated on what firearms are about in Canada.
Reach out to these people.
Educate them.
Say, hey, listen, this is my grandfather's Model 12 shotgun.
It's third generation.
It's been in my house for three generations.
The liberals want to take this away from me.
It was with No sense or sensibility of doing it.
They just want to take it away from to garner votes.
You know, reach out to these people, educate them.
That's what the NFA does.
We educate people.
We offer at the NFA, we offer packages.
We offer a complete package of what to do when somebody passes away in your family with firearms.
We offer a package on how to get your wilderness carry permit.
We've got a pamphlet out there.
We just pushed out a fresh pamphlet how what to do if you're a hunter in Canada, whether you're a Canadian resident or a resident or a non-resident.
We push that package out.
We're out on the ground every day doing this stuff.
You know, I don't, on our social media, I don't go out there and ask for money.
I like to do the work first and say, here, this is what we did.
Can you help us out?
Instead of pushing money, money, money.
You know, just like the appeal on the Order of the Council case, our lawyer advised us.
You know what?
You guys are going to win.
You guys are going to lose.
It's going to cost probably a million and a half dollars.
I advise you not to do it.
I said right away, we're not going to burn out members' resources on something a lawyer tells us we're going to lose.
It doesn't make any sense.
We're a non-for-profit organization.
We can't afford to pay that kind of money.
You know, I like to go up there.
We have meetings every couple of weeks.
We strategize how can we help?
How can we help gun owners?
How can we help hunters?
How can we help collectors?
Sports shooters is a big thing.
We've been working with a lot of sports shooters and it's a big industry in Canada.
The tax revenue when you put all this stuff together is millions, if not billions.
But it doesn't matter to the government.
Sheila and I spoke about this before.
The tax money, this revenue doesn't matter to the liberals.
They just spend it.
They'll get it some other way through the carbon tax is a great example.
Right.
Right.
Exactly.
Now, Rick, how do people get involved in the NFA?
Not only do you provide all these resources for firearms owners and sports shooters, but you have an incredible merch store.
And every time I see you, I think today's the day I get that jackknife.
And then I realize I have to fly.
So tell us.
Well, there's the best way, become a member.
You know what?
For $35, the price of a two-liter Pepsi and a large pizza, you can become a member of the NFA.
Become a member.
The money goes into the fight for your freedom and your firearms rights.
Follow us on social media.
Comment.
We're on all the social media platforms.
Follow us.
Donate.
You know, again, I hate asking for money, but make some donations because your money goes into the fight.
I'll tell you right now, the fight for gun rights and freedom in Canada is not cheap.
You know, we have a full-time lobbyist in Ottawa who's one of our paid people, but traveling.
We can't, yeah, lawyers.
You know, that's another service we offer.
We've got, we can advise you on a lawyer in every province.
And we've also got the largest case law library of firearms cases in Canada.
Reach out to us.
Blair will help you.
If you have an issue, whether it's noise pollution on a range, you accidentally had an accidental discharge in your house.
The police seized your firearms because the neighbor red flagged you.
We have case law on that.
Please reach out to us.
You don't have to be a member to reach out.
We'd appreciate it if you were, but you don't have to be a member.
We're here to help Canadians.
We're here to help freedom-loving Canadians.
Like Sheila and I, we're passionate about what we do.
I don't do this because, number one, definitely not for the money.
Number two, I want to keep my guns, but my big thing, and this has always been my thing, I care about the next generations.
Kids, my kids and kids, and beyond that, I want them to have the same freedoms and rights that we had.
And the way the liberals are running this country right now, it's not going to happen.
It's coming to the point where people are saying, well, am I going to be able to get out of my house one day to go to the corner store?
That's what it's coming to.
So get out there, vote, join the NFA, help us out if you can.
You know, I appreciate that times are tough right now, but if any little bit helps, you know, it's a big thing.
My goal is to have 200,000 members as fast as we can.
There's a lot of gun owners out there.
Only a small percentage of them join are members of an org.
Join the NFA.
Get out there.
Let's get in the fight.
We can win.
We will win this thing.
Yeah.
NFA.ca, consider it an investment in your future.
Yeah, I think it's over 2.2.
It's probably more now, 2.2 million Canadians are involved in the shooting sports.
That's the largest sport in Canada by the number.
And it's more than organized hockey.
But we don't talk about it because we're scared of having guns snatched.
That's why I said it earlier, two point something because the real number, nobody really knows.
Right, right.
Because everybody.
Yeah, just like the amount of SKSs in Canada, nobody really knows.
We'll say we won't see.
Exactly.
Rick, thanks so much for taking the time.
Thanks for coming on the show.
Thanks for fighting for families just like mine.
And we'll have you back on again very soon.
Yes, thank you for having me on your show again, Sheila.
It's always a pleasure to do your show and it's always a pleasure to work with Rebel News at your events across Canada.
We get a lot of work done, but we also have a lot of fun attending Rebel when you guys are across Canada.
So my word is to everybody out there, get on Rebel News, go to their events.
You'll learn a lot.
If you're freedom-oriented, you'll learn a lot.
Get to a Rebel event as soon as you can, whenever they are, whenever they're happening.
And chances are we'll be there.
Talk to us, talk to Sheila.
We're all, you know what?
I think people need to know we're all accessible.
We're not surrounded by security.
Anybody can walk up to talk to any one of us anytime.
Davos Cult Critique00:08:18
Exactly.
Without the people supporting us, we really are nothing.
So we make ourselves available to the people.
Rick, thanks again.
And as I said, we'll have you on again very soon.
you've got big things happening at the nfa well we've come to the portion of the show wherein i invite your viewer feedback If you got viewer feedback from me about the show or any of the work that we do here at Rebel News, send it to me at Sheila at RebelNews.com.
Put gun show letters in the subject line so I know exactly why you're emailing me because I do get a fierce amount of emails every single week.
But maybe you're watching a clip of the show on YouTube or on Rumble or any of our content, leave a comment there for a couple of different reasons.
The more you engage with our content, the more YouTube shows it to people.
It helps us in the algorithm.
So if you like it, if you share it, if you leave comments, that helps us out.
And that's a great free thing that you can do for us.
And I go looking for comments over there.
So I appreciate that.
And actually, today's comments come from YouTube, the censorship platform of YouTube.
But I know some of you still prefer to use YouTube.
So I won't go there.
But I would prefer if you used Rumble because Rumble won't censor you and we're monetized over there.
And this is on my trip to the private helipad and the private airport when I was in Davos for the World Economic Forum.
the World Economic Forum tells us we'll own nothing and be happy and that we should all live in our 15 minute cities so that we don't have to expend carbon dioxide into the atmosphere with our daily commutes because, you know, it's our SUVs and minivans driving our kids around and going to work.
That sort of stuff they'll have us believe is spelling the end of all mankind.
I mean, they said just not all that long ago, we were only had 12 years left before we turned around things.
And I think that was like six years ago.
So time's running out, folks.
Sure, sure.
These people are a doomsday cult.
But anyway, I wanted to see what you guys thought about my trip to the private airport and the private temporary helipad that takes people from the private airport into Davos because heaven forbid they do the same commute I did to get from the airport to Davos.
It's like an hour and a half through the mountains.
And we wouldn't want anybody to have to experience traveling like a peasant like me.
The people who control the world, they don't have to follow our rules.
Hazara 26 says, whenever I see these clowns staying in expensive hotels, riding limos and enjoying cocktail parties on taxpayers' money and getting protected by public servants, police, and used police as their bodyguards, really pisses me off.
The hypocrisy is outstanding.
And that's why we go to Davos, to the World Economic Forum, is because there really aren't any skeptical journalists there.
There are journalists who just straight report on the things that are coming out of the World Economic Forum, their policies and their thought bubbles, without actually stopping to point out the problems with those policies on the normal people or the hypocrisy of the people coming up with those policies.
And by and large, the other media there are participants in the World Economic Forum.
They have pavilions there.
When I was at the World Economic Forum, NBC, CNBC, MSNBC, that company, they had taken over the church across the street from the main gates.
They were participants.
The journalists sit on panels and talk about how we need censorship to fight disinformation.
And we go there and we just point out just how ridiculous this all is.
That's sort of what I did when I used to go to the UN climate change conferences.
I would just walk through and point out all the idling limos with nobody in them all day long while telling me, again, that driving my kids to sports will cause the oceans to rise.
Shockmail3875 says, are you going to start handing out Xanax with your reports or high blood pressure meds?
I'm glad you're doing the reporting and not me because you're way more common professional than I could ever be.
Keep up the great job exposing these hypocrites.
It is irritating, don't get me wrong, when you're at these events and it feels like you're in the twilight zone because you're thinking, what, doesn't anybody else see this?
Like, doesn't anybody else see the you'll own nothing and be happy, live in a 15-minute city to keep your carbon footprint low, people flying in on a helicopter, a private helicopter, and landing in the middle of town?
It feels crazy.
You start to feel like, am I losing my mind?
Why doesn't anybody else see this?
It's because everybody else, they're true believers.
You never see the flaws in your cult leader when you're in the cult.
Oh, exactly.
Dan K7W8F, if that's even your real name, he feels the same way I do.
Sounds like a science fiction cult.
Yeah.
Yes.
Exactly.
It is.
They don't see it because they're all in the cult.
When or if they leave the cult, they might.
Their eyes will wake up to it.
But.
Also, you know, at the end of any good doomsday cult, the ones left behind, the ones drinking the poison flavorade, they're the most radicalized.
Everybody else who had like a sober second thought, a moment of intellectual independence, they're gone already.
The people left behind are the true believers.
They're the most dangerous.
Jim Everden2244 says you can't report on this hypocrisy enough.
There's just so many, so many instances of hypocrisy.
You know, when I go there with the preconceived notion, although a well-earned preconceived notion that this is an anti-god, anti-human organization, the World Economic Forum, propped up by sycophantic and unskeptical mainstream media reportage.
And then I walk up to the gates and I see at the World Economic Forum, NBC has taken over a church and called it the sanctuary.
I mean, it's just chef's kiss, perfect.
It just, it confirms all my existing biases, which is probably not good for me, but it's good to know I'm right about these people.
And that was my first time at the World Economic Forum.
And I'm glad I saw it for myself.
That's for sure.
And I think we did some great work there.
If you want to see and support our journalism, it was a very expensive proposition to go there.
Not only is Switzerland a very expensive place, but they just jack everything right up.
When you have the richest people in the world flying in on private helicopters and jets, you can go to WEFreports.com and help us cover those bills because we, I mean, we want to go back next year and we want to make sure that we are not bleeding the rest of the company to go back to report on the World Economic Forum next year.
Next year, it will be interesting because these people will have lived with one year of Donald Trump and his anti-globalism agenda.
They were sort of shell-shocked when we were there, sullen.
But I want to see what stage of the mourning process they are in by next year.
