Meet Klaus Schwab
[2]
Head of one of the world’s most powerful and influential NGOs
[7]
How much say does he have over your country?
[15]
Welcome to America Uncovered.
[30]
I’m Chris Chappell.
[31]
So the whole idea of a democracy is that the people have the power.
[36]
Politicians are beholden to voters.
[39]
The reality can be a little different.
[42]
There are a lot of different kinds of groups and organizations that can influence politics,
[47]
but NGOs— non-governmental organizations, might be the most mysterious.
[51]
They’re not governments.
[53]
They’re not businesses.Some of them are charities.
[56]
Some of them aren’t.
[57]
They can be small little things or massive and widely influential.
[62]
But in general, NGOs are private organizations that are privately funded and privately run
[68]
with as much transparency as a brick.
[71]
I mean, would you trust this guy?
[74]
This is Klaus Schwab, head of the World Economic Forum.
[78]
It’s one of the more influential—and controversial NGOs.
[83]
You might know the World Economic Forum as the organization responsible for the annual
[87]
Davos Agenda summit in Davos, Switzerland

[89]

where thousands of prominent business leaders

[93]

politicians

[94]

activists

[95]

and others meet to discuss how they can shape the future of the world.
[99]
For example, the initiative they call the Great Reset.
[102]
Here’s a little video about it.
[105]
The current global crisis has disrupted every aspect of our lives, but it has also
[111]
presented us with an extraordinary opportunity, a chance to reset and accelerate efforts to
[117]
improve the state of our world.
[120]
Improve the state of our world—that sounds good to me.
[124]
But how?!
[125]
“In order to secure our future and to prosper, we need to evolve our economic model, putting
[132]
people and planet at the heart of global value creation.”
[137]
Putting people and planet first—awesome.
[141]
But what was that about evolving our economic model?
[145]
Here’s how they explain it.
[147]
8 Predictions for the World in 2030 You’ll own nothing.
[155]
And you’ll be happy.
[156]
You’ll own nothing and be happy.
[157]
So who *would* own everything in this scenario?
[160]
“Whatever you want, you’ll rent.
[161]
And It’ll be delivered by drone.”
[166]
So...it’ll be owned by Amazon.
[167]
Got it.
[168]
Does this mean we’re going to just rent everything from Amazon instead of buying everything
[171]
from Amazon?
[172]
But the World Economic Forum is so much more than just Davos or the Great Reset.
[178]
Mr. Star Wars Cosplayer here also talks about how the World Economic Forum works with the
[182]
best and the brightest to “shape global, regional and industry agendas.”
[188]
I really can’t imagine why there are so many conspiracy theories about them.
[193]
One of the ways the World Economic Forum shapes global agendas is through The Forum of Young
[198]
Global Leaders.
[199]
It’s an educational organization that has some very notable alumni.
[203]
I’ll tell you who after the break.
[207]
Welcome back.
[209]
So one of the World Economic Forum’s biggest goals is the Great Reset , a world where we
[214]
own nothing and are happy.
[216]
But the World Economic Forum is just an NGO.
[219]
How can it guide individual countries to make these radical changes?
[224]
One of the ways is through the Forum of Young Global Leaders, a sort of internship program
[230]
to prepare the leaders of tomorrow.
[231]
It was founded by Klaus Schwab in 2004.
[234]
According to their website, it’s goal is to mold young leaders into people who will
[239]
“shape a more inclusive and sustainable future.”
[242]
Each year, a cohort of up-and-coming leaders between 28 and 38 years old are selected to
[248]
spend five years in the program.
[251]
The program has a large number of noteworthy alumni, including:
[255]
Governor of California Gavin Newsom
[257]
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg
[260]
Former US Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard
[261]
US Transportation Secretary Peter Buttigieg
[265]
And author and anti-racism activist Ibram X.
[268]
Kendi
[269]
You’ve probably heard of them.
[271]
And the prominent role these alumni play across society illustrates exactly what makes the
[275]
World Economic Forum so influential.
[278]
The Forum for Young Global Leaders was a spin-off of an earlier organization called the Global
[283]
Leaders for Tomorrow that Klaus Schwab started in 1993.
[287]
And it also had some noteworthy alumni, such as:
[291]
Tony Blair
[292]
Bill Gates
[293]
And Jeff Bezos.
[295]
With so many high-profile alumni, the World Economic Forum seems to have potentially left
[299]
its mark on every aspect of modern life, from politics to technology.
[304]
So what exactly is the World Economic Forum teaching these people?
[308]
We have no idea.
[310]
No one seems to know exactly what kinds of things are presented to or discussed by the
[314]
Young Global Leaders, but one alumnus saw it as a place that did not exactly welcome
[319]
dissenting voices.
[321]
Richard Werner, who was part of the cohort of 2003, explained the situation.
[326]
I and also several others in the cohort, we asked a lot of questions, and they were usually
[331]
critical questions
That didn’t go down too well, I suspect, and may be the reason
[337]
why, after the second year, we were told, everyone was told, “oh, sorry, this Global
[344]
Leader for Tomorrow program had to be abolished for I don’t know what reason, sorry,”
[350]
but then a few months later we noticed that oh!
[353]
They have a new program which they didn’t tell us about, it’s called Young Global
[357]
Leader, which is essentially the same, so they just got rid of this cohort by changing
[363]
the program.
[364]
So Werner is essentially saying he believes that he and others in the program got kicked
[368]
out for asking critical questions.
[370]
I guess asking too many questions is not part of shaping the future.
[375]
So what happens when some of the World Economic Forum’s leaders of the future become the
[379]
leaders of today?
[382]
More after the break.
[385]
Welcome back.
[386]
Klaus Schwab is very proud of some of the alumni of his Young Global Leaders.
[390]
Here is bragging about just a few of them in 2017.
[394]
When I mention our names like Mrs. Merkel even Vladimir Putin and so on, they all have
[402]
been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum,
[405]
Oh wow, Putin . That didn’t age well.
[409]
But the list goes on.
[411]
But what we are very proud of now is the young generation like Prime Minister Trudeau, the
[419]
President of Argentina and so on that we penetrate the cabinets, so yesterday I was at the reception
[428]
for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I would know that half of this cabinet or even more than
[438]
half of uh half of this cabinet are actually Young Global Leaders of the world.
[446]
Wait, Justin Trudeau was a Young Global Leader.
[449]
Along with half of his cabinet?!
[452]
Uhhh, how much influence does the World Economic Forum have?
[456]
Well, the list of world leaders goes on.
[459]
Schwab didn’t mention New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, but she was in the
[463]
program, as well.
[465]
So was French President Emmanuel Macron.
[467]
That’s a lot of world leaders!
[470]
But let’s go back to half of Trudeau’s cabinet.
[472]
Here are some examples.
[475]
Chrystia Freeland, Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.
[479]
She’s also on the World Economic Forum Board of Trustees, by the way.
[484]
No conflict of interest there.
[485]
In addition, there’s Scott Brison, who was the President of the Treasury Board of Canada
[490]
until 2019.
[492]
And Melanie Joly, the Minister of Canadian Heritage until 2018.
[497]
So two former and one current Canadian official.
[499]
That’s not half of Justin Trudeau’s cabinet.
[503]
Could it be this guy is prone to just a little bit of exaggeration?
[506]
But it’s hard to say for sure because the Forum of Young Global Leaders community website
[511]
doesn’t list all alumni, and old cohort rosters are difficult to find.
[516]
In fact, Schwab might have been exaggerating other claims, as well, since we couldn’t
[521]
find Putin or Trudeau listed on any of the cohort rosters, either.
[524]
Although we did find this Facebook post where Trudeau mentions the Young Global Leaders.
[529]
Recently, some Canadians have expressed concern about the World Economic Forum’s influence
[534]
in Canadian politics.
[535]
But when Member of Parliament Colin Carrie asked about the cabinet’s connections to
[539]
the World Economic Forum, the parliament speaker got a little touchy.
[543]
Carrie: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I listened to my colleague’s speech.
[548]
I had a constituent that wanted me to ask a question about outside interference to our
[553]
democracy.
[554]
Klaus Schwab is the head of the World Economic Forum, and he bragged how his subversive WEF
[560]
World Economic Forum has quote infiltrated governments around the world.
[564]
He said that his had penetrated more than half of Canada's cabinet.
[569]
I was wondering, in the interest of transparency, could the member please name which cabinet
[576]
ministers are on board with the WEF's agenda?
[579]
My concern is the deputy–
[581]
Speaker: Order order!
[582]
I know it was I know that uh the member was in a really good good question there, but
[588]
the audio was really really bad and the video is really really bad as well, um, and I and
[592]
I and I apologize.
[593]
I don’t know if the member

[596]
OK.
[597]
Let’s try again.
[598]
The honorable member for Timmins-James Bay”
[602]
“Mr. Speaker, that member is promoting open disinformation.
[606]
That’s not debate.
[608]
We have to call it disinformation.”
[610]
Speaker: “Uh, I don’t want to get into debate again.”
[612]
Hmm, strange.
[613]
I didn’t have any trouble hearing the question.
[615]
And apparently the other member of parliament heard well enough to dismiss it as disinformation.
[619]
But what has that MP so riled up?
[623]
Carrie was just doing his job as an elected representative by asking a question posed
[629]
to him by one of his constituents.
[631]
You know, the people government officials are supposed to represent?
[635]
And this is the big question—who do these leaders represent?
[639]
If their constituents voted for them to act in a way that didn’t fit with the World
[642]
Economic Forum’s vision, who would these leaders choose?
[646]
Their people or the World Economic Forum?
[649]
Looking at how Germany, New Zealand, France, and Canada arrested protesters during the
[656]
pandemic, it’s not 100% certain these leaders would choose to listen to their people.
[661]
On the other hand, Klaus Schwab has said he’s very grateful for the loyalty of what he calls
[666]
his Canadian constituency.
[669]
I want to use this opportunity also to thank our Canadian constituency, which always has
[676]
been a very loyal and very much engaged constituency here and so forth, but now I think with you
[684]
together with our constituents, Prime Minister, we can make sure that in the future, we strengthen
[692]
the cooperation even more with your country.
[696]
I wonder how Canadians feel about that cooperation?
[700]
And this is the issue with NGOs.
[702]
Look, maybe you agree with the mission and worldview of the World Economic Forum . Maybe
[706]
you think it's totally benign.
[708]
But another NGO that you don’t like can get just as much influence as the World Economic
[713]
Forum.
[714]
And remember, an NGO isn’t really accountable to anybody, other than its own leaders.
[720]
It isn’t accountable to a public vote or a particular government.
[724]
And when one NGO can influence this many world leaders, that’s a problem.
[730]
