Last week you opened the show, you
0:03
recounted your time in Geneva. You were
0:05
there, you were saying, look, it really
0:07
looks like the WHO, the WEF, they're
0:10
digging in here, they're building infrastructure, they're
0:12
not going anywhere anytime soon, and
0:15
you said they're really preparing to push
0:17
their agendas on the people and they
0:19
may have a little problem with that
0:21
because what just happened in Europe, a
0:23
lot of people in America really don't
0:25
understand the gravity of this, these were
0:28
the European Union parliamentary elections and
0:30
what are those? This is the
0:32
world's largest multi-country voting election really,
0:35
again, in the world. 27 nations, over 370 million
0:37
registered voters and they vote on
0:41
the seats. There's over 720 seats in this
0:43
European Union Parliament that are up for grabs.
0:46
The bigger the country, the more seats you
0:48
have. Germany has 96, France has 81, and
0:51
really, you know, the European Union, the Parliament
0:53
there, the members of Parliament, on
0:55
the power continuum, they don't wield a
0:57
lot of power compared to individual presidents
0:59
of countries, but what this was was
1:01
a pulse check of bellwether and
1:04
how did that go? Take a look. High
1:06
election drama in Europe as results
1:09
of elections to the EU Parliament
1:11
came in. Voters in 27 countries
1:13
have elected more far-right members. The
1:15
vote is having a significant impact.
1:17
European voters have pulled to the
1:19
farthest right it's ever been and
1:22
that is causing people anxiety. Voters
1:24
in Germany, Italy, Austria, and
1:26
the Netherlands also sent more
1:28
far-right candidates. In France right
1:30
now, where President Emmanuel Macron's
1:32
moderate party was beaten so
1:35
badly by the far-right party
1:37
of Marine Le Pen, that
1:39
Macron called for a snap
1:41
election, dissolving Parliament in the
1:43
process. German Chancellor Olaf Schulz's
1:45
SPD, the Social Democrats, heading for
1:48
their worst ever national election results.
2:00
have hit hard. In Italy, Giorgio Maloney
2:02
and her far-right brothers of Italy parties
2:04
forecast to more than double its seats
2:06
in the European Parliament since the last
2:08
election. European voters show
2:11
that they're more concerned about
2:13
what's directly and really negatively
2:15
impacting them. To a large degree, the
2:17
EU election results are a litmus test,
2:19
an indication of how the bloc will
2:21
handle critical issues. It's
2:26
really amazing. I'll just state it
2:28
because I haven't for a while
2:30
that I grew up a progressive
2:33
liberal Democrat from Boulder, Colorado, like
2:35
the Crystal Cathedral of liberalism. And
2:38
I find myself giddy when I watch a
2:40
news thing like this. And I even was
2:42
talking to my parents and
2:44
family members this last week who are very
2:46
concerned how everything's moving to the right. Everything's
2:48
going conservative. And I'm like, oh my God,
2:50
you guys, thank God
2:53
it is. And that's, you know,
2:56
and I'm trying to explain to those I
2:58
love as many of the ex-democrats that I
3:00
know are watching right now. We used to
3:03
be the party that was against war. We
3:05
were certainly against authoritarianism and definitely against censorship,
3:07
all of which are the tools that are
3:09
now being used by liberals. So as you
3:12
push in this conservative space, it's
3:14
all those that appear to be pushing
3:16
back against the insanity we all find
3:18
ourselves living in. And maybe maybe the
3:20
pendulum will go too far one way,
3:22
but God, we need a pendulum shift
3:25
right now. And it appears to be happening in
3:27
Europe. Right. And let's break
3:29
this down. So people have been taught to
3:31
think in polarization in this or that left
3:33
or right far right. But what does this
3:35
really mean? Let's you let's use a term
3:37
instead of far right, because that's been used
3:39
in context for people to think of certain
3:41
things when they think of that. Right. Just
3:44
is a less is a less charged
3:46
word or even just people concerned about what
3:49
is going on in their lives, in their
3:51
countries that are affecting their families and their
3:53
their home, their town, their communities. That's what
3:55
they're talking about here. And we can see
3:58
Germany, France, Italy, even Austria
4:00
also went far right, if you will, if you
4:02
look at these headlines, and they
4:04
topped the EU elections. So they're winning seats
4:06
in this parliament, this EU parliament. But
4:09
what are the big hot button
4:11
topics? Well, unchecked migration, you're talking
4:13
climate laws, these aggressive climate laws
4:15
that are rapidly changing society. This
4:18
is the first time this parliament has
4:20
voted since 2019. It's every
4:22
five years. So what happened since then? The
4:25
failed COVID response. So people were able
4:27
to vent their frustrations in this vote
4:29
about that. And we're talking also about
4:32
the war in Ukraine, and even the
4:35
economy, everyone it seems from the US
4:37
to the European Union, the countries in
4:39
there are dealing with economic issues. People
4:41
are having a hard time affording just
4:43
basic needs. And so this
4:45
is the New York Times on the run
4:47
up to the elections. And this is how
4:49
they framed it. The EU is voting, it
4:51
never mattered more. And it says the parliament
4:53
that emerges from these elections, weak though as
4:55
it, weak though it may be will serve
4:58
as a break or accelerator for the crucial
5:00
policies that will help shape Europe's immediate future.
5:02
And what are those? Well, you can see
5:04
them, you just look through the headlines here.
5:06
Here's one of them, far right victories in
5:08
EU elections in peril, Ukraine support. Another one
5:10
from Fox News, Europe expected to
5:13
move right in EU elections amid
5:15
voter anger over legal immigration crime
5:17
economy. But then we talk
5:19
about the green agenda, net zero
5:21
push. Before I do, I just want to
5:23
make a point because it pops into my
5:25
head as I was in Geneva, Switzerland last
5:27
week. You know what one of
5:29
the things that many of the people from the
5:31
different countries are saying is when the New York
5:34
Times is saying, well, the European Union is weak.
5:36
The opposite is proving to be true. These nations
5:38
are saying we no longer, our leaders have no
5:40
power in our country. We are being forced to
5:43
go along with whatever the EU decides,
5:45
it's dragging us around by our
5:47
tails. And we've had it that we
5:49
cannot stand up. Our finances
5:51
for the country are wrapped into it.
5:54
You know, how the dollar is where
5:56
the EU currency, all of it, they
5:58
are being manipulated by this over our...
6:00
marching authoritarian, sort of globalist regime, which
6:02
is the EU parliament. And so I
6:04
want to push back on that. Don't
6:06
listen to these newspapers. This is a
6:08
part of the propaganda. Oh, it's just
6:10
nothing. No, what is nothing now is
6:13
the sovereignty of those nations that are
6:15
part of the EU. Talk to anyone
6:17
that's watching what's happening inside of the
6:19
country. Exactly. So we're really
6:21
talking about massive centralization to these
6:23
authorities or power back to individual countries
6:26
and their leadership that is appointed by
6:28
the people. And one of the biggest
6:30
one of the biggest pushes across the
6:32
world and any country you're looking at
6:35
is the net zero push, this green
6:37
agenda, this rapid transition of economies onto
6:42
an ideology that the world is ending if
6:44
we don't move to net zero. So this
6:46
is one of the things that shaped these
6:48
boats. It says here, cost of going green
6:50
sparks backlash from Europe's boaters. And
6:52
never was that more really on
6:54
the front burner than the Netherlands. The Netherlands
6:57
is the breadbasket of the EU. They're
6:59
the second largest exporter of agriculture behind
7:02
the United States in the world. I
7:04
mean, this tiny little country is just
7:06
a little bigger than Maryland to give
7:08
you an idea and they have over
7:11
generations perfected farming. And remember, they went
7:13
to war against their farmers. Farmers
7:16
had to cut fertilizer. They were buying out
7:18
farms. They were cutting their heads of cattle
7:20
and people had enough. And they formed their
7:22
own party there. This is the headline when
7:24
it happened. They formed a farmer's protest party.
7:27
Farmer's protest party went shock Dutch boat victory.
7:29
And then right after they did that, they
7:31
said this, we can topple the prime minister
7:33
and form a government says leaders of the
7:35
Dutch farmer's party. And then what happened? Dutch
7:38
prime minister, Mark Root is quitting
7:40
politics. So they were obviously
7:42
somewhat successful in that. So these are the
7:45
these are the things that are shaping this,
7:47
but it's not, you know, these ideas are
7:49
not just confined to
7:51
Europe. They're not just confined to
7:53
these individual nations like Germany or
7:55
Italy. You're seeing this ideology of
7:58
populism. going to call it all over
8:01
the world. And it's almost like everyone
8:03
got the memo and said, we're done
8:05
with this. This is Peter Dutton in
8:07
Australia. He's the opposition leader. And over
8:09
the next year, many are saying
8:11
that he may be the next prime minister
8:13
of Australia. This is the headline coming out
8:15
of Australia right now. Dutton to pull Australia
8:17
out of the Paris Agreement if elected. So
8:19
he's making bold statement. Remember, the Paris agreement
8:21
is full net zero push. We can't let
8:24
the climate go over 1.5 degrees
8:26
Celsius or something's going to happen,
8:28
but we don't exactly know what. And
8:30
so you're seeing it at every
8:32
level, even at the court level.
8:35
So just two months ago, this is one
8:37
of the court rulings. It is a landmark
8:39
international ruling in Switzerland. This was the headline
8:41
that was made from it. International
8:43
court rule, Switzerland violated human rights and
8:45
landmark climate case brought by 2000 women.
8:49
So what happened? Well, just now,
8:51
Switzerland, their parliament is not going
8:54
to go along with that court
8:56
ruling. This parliament snubs European court
8:58
climate rulings. They're saying we're not doing
9:00
this. We refuse to do this. We want this
9:03
to go back to a vote, go back to the court. This
9:05
is, you know, they're not basically bowing to
9:08
this court rule. So again, at every level,
9:10
from the individual voter to the members of
9:12
parliament to actual court hearings and
9:14
precedent, people are not following what they've
9:16
been following over the last five years
9:19
or taught to follow, whether it's, you
9:21
know, this green energy, the COVID politics,
9:23
all of this stuff. There's a big
9:25
change happening. And this is
9:27
a litmus test for possibly what's going to
9:29
be happening in the U.S. as we move
9:31
into the elections. Wow. I
9:33
mean, it's really incredible developments. And it just
9:35
goes to show you when
9:37
push comes to shove, when you beat
9:39
your citizens with clubs, force them
9:42
back into their homes, forcibly inject them with
9:44
vaccines, tell them that they're going to stop
9:46
transmission. And then by shot number
9:48
nine, that becomes a reality that it's not
9:51
true. And then you parade out the heads
9:53
of the scientists that all told you that
9:55
locking down and standing six feet apart and
9:57
not allowing yourself into a hospital, see your
9:59
loved one die that. All that was based
10:01
on an assumption, no science whatsoever. When you
10:03
start seeing those things happen and attack on
10:06
your foods, by taking away farmers, the
10:08
lifeblood of every decent nation and stealing
10:10
their farms from them, just shocking that
10:12
the people that are against that end
10:15
up moving into power. Thank God that
10:17
the people still have the power. And
10:19
that's, I really want to celebrate that
10:21
because I know it was really heavy
10:23
last week. And though we're going to
10:25
get into some really heavy developments happening,
10:27
it's still proof people have the power.
10:29
We're still here. Do not. I
10:32
want to say this. Do not let people
10:34
convince you that your vote doesn't matter. It's
10:36
all totally rigged. If that
10:38
were the case, we wouldn't be seeing
10:40
this shift in Europe because I guarantee
10:42
you, no one wants to see an
10:44
opposition to this global push right now.
10:47
But that's exactly who's taking power is
10:49
the opposition. The rebels are
10:51
winning.
