The Davos crowd gathered in Switzerland this week under the World Economic Forum banner, trotting out the same globalist playbook about cooperation, AI and the climate while insisting their prescriptions are the only sane path forward. Ordinary Americans watching know a different story: elite platitudes from folks who jet in for selfies while the factories and schools back home decay.
Al Gore took the stage to lament a so-called “climate policy recession,” sounding the old alarms with no meaningful plan to protect working families from skyrocketing energy costs or supply-chain dependence on China. Conservatives aren’t opposed to stewardship, but we won’t sit quietly while activists demand policies that price middle-class Americans out of their homes and their livelihoods.
On panels about the future of work, union bosses like Randi Weingarten and AFL-CIO leaders played the same card—blaming globalization and technology for inequality—while offering more government meddling as the cure. It’s rich watching classroom and union leaders lecture the country from a mountaintop resort, when parents know too well how disastrous left-wing education and union priorities have been for kids and taxpayers.
Meanwhile, President Trump showed up as the lone adult willing to put America first, pushing deals and a pragmatic agenda that rattled the Davos consensus and made bosses from Brussels to Basel squirm. The elite love to moan about U.S. “isolationism” while ignoring that their global schemes concentrated wealth and sent jobs overseas; Trump’s presence reminded the world that American interests matter more than performative virtue signaling.
Jesse Watters cut through the noise on primetime, calling out the Davos echo chamber for what it is and reminding viewers that these self-anointed saviors are often divorced from everyday realities. His blunt take—these people are all crazy—resonates because Americans see the consequences of elite policies in their grocery bills, their children’s classrooms, and their shuttered factories.
If Davos taught us anything, it’s that the globalist consensus still prefers grand plans and moralizing over concrete results for working Americans. We should reject alarmist narratives that transfer wealth and control to technocrats and instead demand policies that protect jobs, secure supply chains, and keep energy affordable for families who actually build this country.
Patriots should take this moment as a call to action: support leaders who defend American workers, push back against Davos-style elites, and restore common-sense governance that puts the nation first. The elites can keep their lectures in the Alps; hardworking Americans will keep building the real prosperity they pretend to care about.
