Good afternoon, Today is Monday the 19th of January 2026.
0:14
It's just after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News.
0:17
I'm your host Brian Garish. Delighted to have Ben Rubin with
0:21
me in the studio. Delighted to be here, Brian.
0:23
Delighted to be here. Now we understand that today is
0:27
Blue Monday and can you explain that what that is exactly Ben?
0:32
It's all just so awful and depressing because Christmas is
0:36
gone, New Year's gone. You haven't been paid in weeks.
0:39
The world's going to hell in a handbasket.
0:43
It's still dark in the evening. It's.
0:45
Still dark. It is getting lighter though.
0:47
I've noticed this is true. So we, we just thought we'd
0:50
recognise Blue Monday. But we're going to say for the
0:53
UK column news team today, we're not in a a blue mood.
0:59
We are absolutely going to get stuck into what's happening in
1:02
the world, why we all need to know about it and why when we
1:06
know what's happening we feel better and that allows us to do
1:10
things. So don't wallow and be
1:13
depressed. We're going to try and take you
1:15
through some of the mayhem happening in the world and lead
1:19
you into a better place. So there we are.
1:23
Now we're we're going to be having a look at who's running
1:26
the government. We're going to be looking at
1:30
initially with a little bit of public pushback.
1:32
And one of the places that we can see this is on social media,
1:37
but we're going to have a del a deeper dive into the change in
1:40
UK politics because U KS political democratic
1:45
constitutional system is being hollowed out from the inside as
1:50
we speak. We're going to be looking at the
1:53
global public private partnership.
1:55
Ben will be digging into Mr. Rockefeller and his very wealthy
2:00
team that can influence not just national politics, but politics
2:04
on a global scale. We're going to be looking at the
2:07
big one of the big organisations that's got tremendous clout on
2:12
the world's political stage, and that's the Trilateral
2:15
Commission. And we're going to think about
2:18
Ukraine, Greenland. We're going to think about
2:20
Ukraine in a little bit of a different way to just start to
2:25
get people breaking out of the straitjacket mould of of course
2:29
the BB CS propaganda reporting. And lastly, we're going to end
2:33
on a bit of AI. So when are we going to start
2:38
Ben? Reasons to be cheerful, Brian,
2:41
thank you. I know Christmas is gone, New
2:43
Year's over, but the World Economic Forum starts today in
2:47
Davos. The self-proclaimed elites of
2:49
international banking, industry and politics ascend to the Swiss
2:53
Canton of Davos for the 26th edition of the World Economic
2:57
Forum. I'm excited.
2:58
Brian is definitely excited, I can tell.
3:01
But who's most excited of all is Keir Starmer.
3:06
Let's just ask you quickly you have to choose now between Davos
3:10
or Westminster. Davos.
3:12
Why? Because Westminster is too
3:14
constrained and you know, it's closed and we're not having
3:21
meaning. Once you get out of Westminster,
3:22
whether it's Davos or anywhere else, you actually engage with
3:25
people that you can see working with in the future.
3:29
Westminster just as a tribal shouting play.
3:36
Well, he's so full of it, Ben, isn't it?
3:38
But he's, he's telling the nation your government no longer
3:42
matters. Westminster doesn't matter.
3:44
I'm only going to do business on an international platform.
3:47
And of course in that international platform today, in
3:50
2026, we've got complete mayhem with possible, amongst other
3:55
things, possible breakdown of NATO.
3:58
So out of the frying pan into the fire, I think.
4:01
Yes, absolutely. He loves Davos, Starmer loves
4:05
Davos, he hates Westminster. I can understand why he can't be
4:09
a particularly comfortable place for him at the moment.
4:11
He doesn't. He's not getting a lot of good
4:13
press from anybody and he he's not confirmed to go to Davos,
4:18
although I'm pretty sure he will be going because there are calls
4:21
for the need to hammer out a Ukraine peace deal.
4:25
So apparently he will be attending.
4:27
It is, it is assumed. But I would just say it's a good
4:31
job. We do actually have some real
4:33
red blooded patriots in this country ready to stand up for
4:37
the British people against these nefarious international powers.
4:41
Who do? I mean, of course it's Nigel
4:43
Farage. He's been very vocal about Davos
4:49
over the years. Just this little quote here.
4:51
What's happened to us over the over the course of the last 50
4:53
years is we've decided nation states don't matter.
4:57
We've decided national democracy doesn't matter because we can
5:00
decide all of this in ski resorts in Switzerland.
5:04
Isn't it wonderful? Well, it would be wonderful if
5:07
Mr. Farage was to get stuck in and start to do something about
5:11
it by talking about this issue full time.
5:14
But of course his problem is he's locked into Trump and Trump
5:17
now seems to be out of control even against the background of
5:21
the rules based international order.
5:23
So I think there's a lot that we can be, we should be demanding
5:27
from Nigel Farage if he is really on the game of cleaning
5:31
up politics from these very powerful global influencers.
5:36
Yes, he has. Well, he's spoken about it a
5:37
lot, right? So, you know, got this quote
5:39
here. He's also described the World
5:42
Economic Forum as a smug and conspiratorial meeting of
5:45
enemies of the nation states. He accused Keir Starmer in 2023
5:50
of being a full on globalist, hanging out with his mates at
5:53
the World Economic Forum. But shock horror, Nigel's going
5:58
So despite all of that, he's actually going to attend the
6:01
Davos conference that he derided as a jaunt for globalists.
6:04
To appear, He's actually appearing at the conference.
6:07
Yes, he's going. Yeah, he's going to the
6:08
conference. I don't know if he's going to be
6:10
on stage, but he's certainly going to be there.
6:12
And to be there you've got to be invited.
6:15
And that means the club, the club that's in control of the
6:19
world world's politicians, has now got its sights on Nigel
6:23
Farage. And of course he'd be the
6:25
perfect man to win the election, get into post, but he too would
6:31
then be in bed with the people who really hold the power.
6:34
That's how it seems to me. Yeah, it's almost as if we can't
6:37
believe anything he says. True.
6:40
We'll talk about that a bit more in the UK.
6:42
Call them extra today. OK, well luckily there is some
6:46
good news amongst all of this, which is that people seem to be
6:49
getting wise to the scam. Now.
6:50
I've been following the World Economic Forum Facebook page
6:54
over the past couple of weeks and obviously it's just started
6:56
today, so there's nothing for us to report on particularly.
6:59
We'll talk about this a lot more next week, but I've really
7:02
rather enjoyed the public response to every single post on
7:06
the Facebook page of the World Economic Forum.
7:08
Just a few examples from this post.
7:10
The meeting of the Bond villains and global overlords.
7:14
Another socialist gathering. Imagine being one.
7:17
Psychopaths actually attending this and looking at yourself in
7:20
the mirror afterwards. Traitors of humanity calling
7:23
themselves leaders while no one elected them.
7:25
Installed, not elected. The people will take the power
7:29
back. Absolutely indicative of every
7:33
single comment. There is no no support for this
7:35
organization at all on social media.
7:38
And I love that final point. The people will take the power
7:40
back, which is ultimately the thing that they're all
7:43
particularly concerned about. Let's just listen to this final
7:46
little clip from Neri Woods at the World Economic Forum.
7:49
You know, I believe it was 2022. The good news is the elites
7:55
across the world trust each other more and more so we can
7:59
come together and design and do beautiful things together.
8:02
The bad news is that in every single country they were
8:06
polling, the majority of people trusted that elite less.
8:11
So we can lead, but if people aren't following, we're not
8:15
going to to get to where we want to go.
8:20
Well, a classic happiness clip there because she's telling you
8:24
these people are really worried because ordinary people are on
8:27
to them. Now, if that's more on the
8:29
global platform, let's have a look at defence HQ, which is the
8:34
Ministry of Defence here in UK was very own X or Twitter page.
8:40
Let's have a look at this appalling clip on the UK and
8:43
correct and Ukraine. I'll talk through some of it,
8:47
but I wanted you to just hear the music.
9:38
So for those of you just listening in, basically a very
9:41
smooth little video clip about the partnership with Ukraine.
9:46
You could see very clean troops in trenches, you could see
9:50
industry at work producing military products basically, and
9:57
the whole thing set to this very soothing music.
10:01
You'll hear more of that type of music in another report in
10:04
today's UK column News. But essentially UK can't even
10:09
get its own defence sorted out and yet we are now locked in to
10:13
100 years with Ukraine. Now, as Ben has just
10:17
demonstrated, the public and UK are on to that.
10:20
So if we just pop this one up on screen, this is a little video
10:24
clip of the comments and about 380 deep state regime change.
10:32
We've got committed to defending the most corrupt regime in the
10:36
EU. Mod, I believe you and Healy
10:39
have lost the plot effectively. And so it goes on.
10:44
Once we get down to the bottom, we're going to be seeing some of
10:48
the images. Deport terror, import terror.
10:51
So a cynical response to this and the amount of money, £22
10:57
billion that's gone into corrupt regime.
11:00
If you go through these comments, it's obvious that
11:03
people see through the pure propaganda.
11:07
And if we just pop this horrible picture up on screen, we've got
11:12
Healy the man here and he's sitting next to the defence
11:18
minister Umarov from Ukraine. But it's the expression on
11:23
Healy's face. Are these two in some form of
11:27
very special relationship? Because it's, it's definitely a
11:31
look of love. But let's just think about this
11:33
because basically we've got a corrupted national flag, EU KS
11:38
flag being corrupted in the background.
11:41
And I couldn't resist a little bit of naughtiness here.
11:44
Darling, you look so manly with that number one cut and a beard.
11:48
What is going on here? This is nothing to do with
11:52
sorting out the defence of the UK, which is described as
11:56
hollowed out. And that's quite right, pouring
11:59
money into Ukraine and a love affair going on in front of the
12:03
public. But all the comments from people
12:05
coming in are absolutely calling it out now what's happening in
12:10
UK. If you think our country is
12:13
being run from Westminster, then think again.
12:16
A number of people have said with regard to analysis, both
12:20
myself and Ben, we sort of get where you're going, but we can't
12:24
really ground it. What are you talking about?
12:26
Well, what we're talking about is the fact that Westminster
12:30
effectively has been taken over by very powerful organisations
12:36
and funders. And we're just going to give you
12:38
a demonstration today to show why this is true and how it
12:43
needs to be dealt with if this country is going to survive.
12:46
So let's start off with the Institute for Government and the
12:50
headline I'm going to bring up here is in the small print on
12:53
the photograph of the well, how do we describe these people?
12:58
They will look particularly wealthy and happy with their
13:01
glasses of champagne and fruit juice.
13:04
But basically it's it's talking about thought leadership and
13:08
engagement with policy makers. But of course, none of these
13:12
people have actually been elected.
13:15
And if we go deeper into the Institute of Government now,
13:19
back in 2024, they were talking about power with purpose, the
13:23
final report of the Commission on the Centre of Government, the
13:28
centre of government being effectively the heart of
13:31
government, which the Institute for Government says is not
13:34
working. Let's have a look at this video
13:37
clip where they themselves explain what they've been up to.
13:44
As you walk down Whitehall, you pass the Cabinet Office, Downing
13:50
St. the Treasury. It's from these departments,
13:54
these offices that the centre of British government operates.
13:59
It's from here that the Prime Minister directs the nation.
14:11
The UK is facing huge challenges.
14:13
Stagnant economic growth, huge technological change, probably
14:17
the infrastructure, failing public services and ageing
14:20
population, climate change and global instability.
14:24
We need a centre that can enable the UK to meet these challenges.
14:28
Successive Prime ministers have discovered the problems at the
14:31
centre have inhibited their ability to deliver on their
14:34
priorities. The centre of government isn't
14:37
fit to meet the challenges that faced the UK in the 21st
14:40
century. So that's why a year ago the
14:44
Institute for Government and I set up the Commission on the
14:47
Centre to examine the problems at the very centre of British
14:52
government and to make recommendations.
14:57
Over the last year we have spoken to those who've worked at
15:00
the heart of Downing St. For the the Cabinet Office as
15:05
well as the Treasury and we've been looking at why the centre
15:10
is not working as well as it needs to.
15:13
The Centre isn't strategic, with governments usually failing to
15:17
define their priorities. They get into micromanagement
15:21
and sometimes develop a bunker mentality.
15:24
And it's unbalanced, with a powerful treasury often left to
15:28
fill the strategic vacuum created by an underpowered #10
15:32
and a Cabinet Office with an ever growing list of
15:35
responsibilities. This can and must be rectified.
15:39
So, having identified the problems, the Commission has
15:41
made seven key proposals to solve them.
15:44
The government should agree it's priorities at the start of the
15:46
Parliament and announce them as part of the modernized King's
15:49
Speech to set a clear direction for departments and other parts
15:53
of government to follow. The Prime Minister should
15:56
appoint an executive Cabinet committee made-up of just a few
15:59
key ministers to help them make the most important strategic
16:03
decisions. The Prime Minister should
16:05
appoint a senior First Secretary of State with responsibility for
16:09
delivering the government's priorities and ministerial
16:12
responsibility for the civil service, freeing up the Prime
16:15
Minister to retain a more strategic long term view.
16:19
The Cabinet Office and #10 should be restructured into a
16:23
Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and a separate
16:26
department for the Civil Service to strengthen support for the
16:29
Prime Minister and more effectively coordinate and
16:32
reform the civil Service. There should be a new statute
16:36
for the Civil Service and Civil Service Board to hold its
16:39
leadership accountable for delivery.
16:41
The roles of Cabinet Secretary accountable to the Prime
16:44
Minister and Head of the Civil Service accountable to the First
16:48
Secretary should be filled separately to give the Civil
16:51
Service the leadership it deserves.
16:54
The priorities for government should be fully reflected in a
16:56
new shared strategy, budget and performance management process
17:00
owned collectively at the centre of government to better
17:03
coordinate, budget for and deliver long term and cross
17:06
cutting priorities. We cannot have the Centre
17:10
continuing to fail to give the nation, the leadership and the
17:15
Prime Minister the support that they need.
17:19
By this time next year we will have had a general election.
17:22
Whoever wins and forms the next government should implement our
17:26
reforms without delay. So a lot of information in that
17:34
little video clip, very important for the UK column, for
17:38
the UK public to see it and for the UK column to dive into what
17:43
these people are actually talking about.
17:45
But very calmly, this lady's talking to Cameron, saying our
17:49
plans, our policies should be implemented and the trouble with
17:53
the country at the moment, we often hear broken Britain.
17:56
It has been broken, It hasn't broken by accident.
18:00
She names previous prime ministers but suggests that
18:07
really they couldn't do their job.
18:09
Was it not the case that those prime ministers were so useless
18:13
that they could not do the job in the country, including
18:17
reorganising their own systems to allow them to do the job?
18:21
It's to me this is quite incredible.
18:24
And and this idea that all you need to do is centralise power
18:27
and then that will allow you to fix everything and make
18:30
everything happen as you want it to happen, right?
18:33
This doesn't work. Right.
18:34
And we have an organization, the Institute of Government, which
18:37
has simply appointed itself in the position of changing the
18:42
government in the way it thinks it should be changed.
18:46
So if we have a little look at the Institute itself, of course,
18:51
a key bit is to have a look at some of the small texts.
18:55
So it says our work covers comment, analysis and a variety
18:58
of topics from Parliament, the constitution and civil service
19:02
to public services and public finances.
19:05
This organization is buried at the heart of government.
19:08
It goes on to say since before the 2010 election, we've also
19:14
undertaken preparation for government work with opposition
19:19
parties in the run up to the elections.
19:21
So they're declaring that they are manipulating the parties
19:25
themselves in order to help them get in power.
19:28
And we can be very sure that once those manipulated parties
19:32
are in power is going to be the institute of government that's
19:35
going to be controlling them. But relax, all their work is
19:39
confidential. Of course it is, because if the
19:42
public really knew what this organization was doing, there
19:46
would be a huge outcry. And quite rightly.
19:50
Now remember that the Institute of Government is just one
19:53
organization doing this type of work in and around government.
19:58
And This is why the lid needs to come off the complete,
20:02
deliberate hollowing out of government by some very powerful
20:06
people. Now the Institute of
20:08
Government's got another layer, the Institute for Government
20:11
Academy. Apparently it helps those
20:15
outside government to engage with it.
20:17
Think about what that means. It means that people who were
20:21
not elected to be in government are going are being given
20:25
specially privileged positions in order to interfere with the
20:30
workings of government itself. We could call it lobbying, or we
20:34
could call it a desperate attempt to get big contracts, or
20:38
it could be changing government policies so that their policies
20:43
helps the political and corporate agenda of these think
20:48
tanks which are in and around government.
20:51
So essentially we're losing control of government because
20:55
the idea that elected, elected politicians running the country
21:00
is clearly nonsense. Now, who runs the show?
21:05
Well, of course, the funders really running the show and what
21:10
we see if we have a look at more of the small print, is that the
21:13
Institute Institute is saying that most of the funding each
21:17
year comes from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation set up by
21:22
David Sainsbury to realise his charitable objectives.
21:27
Not the objectives of the country, but his private
21:30
charitable objectives, and the Institute of Government itself
21:34
was set up by David Sainsbury with the purpose of making
21:38
government more effective, presumably in his image.
21:43
To what? Give them greater powers to
21:45
supermarkets for even bigger profits in the country or indeed
21:51
to expand overseas. Ukraine, I don't know, but it's.
21:55
Yeah, I mean it's. Possibility.
21:56
It's it's capital in the city generally.
21:58
So Gatsby, when one of the big partnerships that they
22:01
established back in 2015, I think it was, was with the
22:04
Council for Inclusive Capitalism, which is Linda
22:06
Rothschild's vehicle for the exactly the same thing we're
22:09
talking about. Yeah.
22:11
So if we if we have Lord Sainsbury's working with these
22:14
organisations, the Institute of Government, Gatsby in order to
22:18
change government itself, we should remember that as reported
22:22
by the Mirror here, that basically Lord Sainsbury is the
22:27
man who is funding the Labour Party itself.
22:31
So this is a very interesting article and I flagged up here
22:35
that Dorset, I, no idea who this is, but quite rightly this
22:39
member of the public is pointing out the hypocrisy that Lord
22:43
Sainsbury is pumping money into government and then working in
22:48
and outside government to change government policy the way he
22:53
wants. What do we describe this as in
22:57
some people would say it was corrupt.
22:59
Whether it's corrupt or not, the UK column can't say.
23:02
But certainly a lot of questions here about vested interests.
23:07
Now, what sort of policies are they following?
23:11
Well, if we have a little look at the Saints, Sainsbury's
23:14
Welcome Trust Centre, this is one part of the work that
23:19
they're involved in and I've entitled it.
23:22
From politics to brains, sorry. From politics to brains to
23:26
behaviour. Let's have a look at the video.
23:34
I am Tom Mercyk Flogel and I'm the director of the Sainsbury
23:37
Welcome Center for Neural Circuits and Behavior.
23:40
The mission of Sainsbury Welcome Center is to understand how
23:44
complex behavior arises from biological matter.
23:47
How does the brain generate perception?
23:49
How does the brain generate plans?
23:50
How does it set goals? How does it make decisions?
23:53
Different labs at the SWC are looking at these component
23:56
processes and either describing them mathematically or indeed
24:00
doing experiments to see where those computations are taking
24:04
place in the brain. My name is Andon.
24:11
I am a group leader at Sainsbury Welcome Centre.
24:14
My lab focused on studying the neural circuit mechanism
24:18
underlying flexible decision making, understanding how we
24:21
shift decision preferences as a function of different internal
24:24
states, who we are, what our history is, what we're thinking
24:28
right now in a world that could be uncertain or dynamically
24:31
changing, or sometimes even in a multi agent social context.
24:37
Encourage all of the UK column viewers to look at the show
24:41
notes to find that little video clip.
24:45
Really horrifying what these people are into as a subject
24:49
matter, but also when you look at them and you say what are
24:52
their real intentions. Is some of these, sorry, is some
24:56
of the techniques to change the way that people think and
24:59
behave? Is that going to be brought back
25:01
through Lord Sainsbury into the Institute of Government in order
25:05
to change the way the politicians and civil servants
25:08
behave to make them adhere to the sorts of policies that he,
25:13
he and his support team want? That seems to be the reality.
25:19
But the idea that we have our elections elect MPs, those MPs
25:25
are then creating the policies in the best interest of this
25:28
country. Complete nonsense.
25:31
And I've got to say here, and of course Nigel Farage is aware of
25:35
some, not all, because he's not well informed on many aspects of
25:39
what we're talking about. But if he were to understand
25:43
what's really happening, he should be in a prime place to
25:46
actually expose what is happening Now the government is
25:50
worried that people are beginning to see what is under
25:54
the stone. And of course, the most fertile,
25:57
fertile minds are young people. So we shouldn't be surprised
26:01
that the BBC is reporting that more than 60 Labour MPs are
26:06
urging the Prime Minister to ban social media from under
26:09
sixteens. And of course this follows on
26:12
from what's happened in Australia.
26:14
But what we can be sure about is that the government, it will
26:18
only be government approved news which will be considered
26:22
suitable for youngsters. We don't want intelligent young
26:26
teenagers working out for themselves the propaganda and
26:30
the lies that are coming through mainstream politics in UK.
26:35
So if that's a dive into one organization which is there
26:39
manipulating at the heart of government.
26:41
Over to you, Ben, for the really big players.
26:45
Thanks, Brian. That was fascinating.
26:47
I've been looking at Gatsby and the Institute for Government for
26:50
a little while, but I hadn't seen that film.
26:52
And what's really interesting to me is that after the general
26:55
election that she referenced, I'm guessing that was from 23 or
26:58
20, early 24, after the election, Georgia Gould went
27:03
into the Cabinet Office and was immediately talking about the
27:05
transformation of the centre. So using exactly the same
27:09
terminology. And also all of that brain
27:11
science stuff that they're investing in, you know, that's,
27:14
that's some weapons grade grade propaganda stuff.
27:16
This is the mindspace right that they're talking about.
27:19
Indeed, the Cabinet Office document from 20. 2010. 2010
27:25
Mindspace where the government boasted it could change the way
27:28
people think and behave and the public, the people, would not
27:34
know this had happened. Very, very dangerous, malicious
27:37
application of political psychology.
27:40
Yeah, absolutely. And it's not just happening in
27:42
the UK, it's happening internationally.
27:44
Globally in fact, actually. And I'm going to kick things off
27:47
in this section with this quote from David Rockefeller.
27:51
Some even believe we, the Rockefeller family, a part of
27:54
the secret cabal working against the best interests of the United
27:57
States, characterising my family and me as nationalists and of
28:01
conspiring with others around the world to build a more
28:04
integrated global political and economic structure.
28:07
One world, if you will. If that's the charge, I stand
28:10
guilty. And I am proud of it.
28:13
That's the statement. These people don't have any
28:16
shame because they're immensely wealthy and powerful.
28:20
The only thing that matters is what they want.
28:22
And he is proud of it. I'm sure in his head he's very
28:26
proud of himself. Absolutely, yeah.
28:28
And that's from his own autobiography, by the way,
28:30
that's published in his memoirs called Memoirs, came out in
28:33
2002. People call this conspiracy
28:36
theorist. There's no need.
28:38
He's literally just described exactly what we're talking
28:40
about. He's admitted to it.
28:41
And ultimately for me, that amounts to a global coup d'etat,
28:44
the destruction of the nation state system and the replacement
28:47
with a single integrated global political and economic structure
28:51
as described by David Rockefeller.
28:52
Now David Rockefeller is dead. He died a few years ago.
28:56
That his vision and his work lives on through organisations
29:00
such as Democracy. Next tagline.
29:04
Another democratic future is possible.
29:06
We talked about this organization a lot over the past
29:09
couple of years. It is backed by the Rockefeller
29:11
Foundation, hence the link. Also, the one project Open
29:15
Society Foundations, which is George Soros's vehicle for
29:19
investing in this kind of activity, and the National
29:22
Endowment for Democracy, which Patrick spoke about on Friday,
29:25
actually, which is essentially ACIA Front for funding regime
29:29
change operations in countries around the world.
29:33
They're interested in democracy. It's run by this lady.
29:36
This is Claudia Chalice. She's the founder and chief
29:38
executive. I like to call her Twinkle Toes,
29:41
the baby faced assassin. Look at that face.
29:45
No, but a butter wouldn't melt. Exactly.
29:49
These are the people they send, you know, to, to, to, to tear
29:52
down your, your, your, your social, economic, political
29:56
structures and replace them with something that works for the
29:58
international supposed elites, right.
30:01
This is the type of people that we're dealing with.
30:03
She's also she's she's got a lot of connections.
30:06
Claudia Chalice, But she's also a senior adviser to MIT, where
30:12
artificial intelligence was essentially founded.
30:14
A lot of the early R&D work around artificial intelligence
30:17
was done at MIT. The Massachusetts Institute for
30:21
Technology, the guy that runs MIT, Mark Gorenberg, recently
30:26
described AI as being used to optimise for a better world.
30:30
That's what they see AI as being for, to optimise for a better
30:33
world as defined by these think tanks and the philanthropy,
30:38
supposedly philanthropic powers that fund them.
30:41
Ultimately, she's also in at the UN.
30:43
She's part of the UN Democracy Fund, one of a tiny handful of
30:46
outside investors that are plowing money into these kinds
30:50
of democratic transformation processes all around the world.
30:54
And the UN itself was actually built on landed the the
30:57
headquarters in the in New York was built on land that was
31:00
donated by the Rockefeller family.
31:02
It's intimately linked into every single component part of
31:06
global governance via the United Nations, the Rockefeller family,
31:09
and the Foundation is chalice. Back to Claudia.
31:13
She's apparently dead against populism, so she wrote this
31:16
book, The Populist Signal. Why Politics and democracy Need
31:21
to Change. This came out in 2015, published
31:23
by Policy Network, where she was working at the time.
31:26
Policy Network was set up by Peter Mandelson, so she went
31:30
there for her early training and it tells you quite a bit about
31:33
Chalice and, and her background and the types of people she she
31:36
likes hanging around with. And this was about pushing back
31:40
against these emerging ideas of scepticism and distrust of the
31:47
the establishment. And the book contends that
31:50
populism is a warning signal that we need to revisit our
31:54
approaches to governance and representation.
31:57
So apparently populism is only you just need more government
32:00
that'll fix everything. Essentially what she's saying
32:02
now, I don't think she really understands what populism means.
32:05
Because if you define populism, according to the guy that coined
32:08
the term, it's the idea that society is separated into two
32:12
groups at odds with one another, the pure people and the corrupt
32:16
elite. And I think that she actually is
32:19
part of the corrupt elite, whether she realises it or not.
32:22
And she might not. I think she's part of the
32:25
corrupt elites. I don't think she really
32:27
understands what populism is, even though she's built a large
32:29
part of her career around it. And I also don't think she
32:31
really understands what democracy is.
32:33
Interestingly, predicated on the idea of one man, one vote.
32:37
Let's have a little listen to this clip.
32:40
There's been a notion that legitimacy has been equated to
32:44
how many numbers and how many people are participating, based
32:46
on the lens through which we tend to view it through our
32:48
existing electoral and representative institutions of
32:51
what we think about as democracy today.
32:53
But there's no reason to think that the only thing from which
32:58
legitimacy stems from is numbers, so.
33:02
But democracy is not about numbers, it's about a process
33:06
that she controls, that she's happy with, and the outcome and
33:09
the decision that she likes. But it is a signal that they
33:13
are, it is a signal again, Ben, that they are worried that there
33:17
is pushback wherever they see pushback labeled as populism,
33:21
they're worried about this. So Blue Monday, today, lots of
33:26
good news when you really pay attention to what these people
33:29
are talking about, the progress of their plans because they are
33:33
running behind the clock. Absolutely they are and they're
33:36
really pushing ahead at the moment and they're trying to
33:38
scale right. So last week they introduced
33:41
this new paper. So they ran a, a, a launch live
33:45
stream or provide a link. You can go and watch it and hear
33:49
what they have to say. It was about this thing here,
33:51
scaling Democratic innovations new paper.
33:54
They've they've delivered, which in its opening statement says
33:57
citizens assemblies, these are the democratic innovations
34:01
they're talking about, right sortie and citizens assemblies,
34:04
stage managed pseudo democratic processes that are designed to
34:07
deliver an outcome do not spread themselves.
34:11
Behind every successful scaling story sits a constellation of
34:14
organisations doing the essential, often invisible work
34:17
of building capacity, establishing networks,
34:19
advocating with decision makers and ensuring quality standards.
34:22
And they call these scaling catalysts.
34:25
So these are these micro organisations in countries
34:29
around the world who are working to the same agenda as democracy
34:33
next. And all of the vested interests
34:35
that we describe pulling the strings from behind the scenes
34:38
in order to bring these new pseudo democratic systems into
34:42
place and and to get rid of the existing political structures
34:45
ultimately, right? And they see this playing out in
34:47
a number of different ways. These are the five frontiers
34:50
that they see that need to be moved towards.
34:53
So introducing deliberative technology.
34:56
So this is AI essentially. They want the whole thing to run
34:58
on AI rails so that it can be controlled centrally.
35:02
And in fact, people like Peter Thiel spoken a lot recently
35:06
about the the idea that democracy could actually just be
35:09
replaced with technology and something we'll come back to
35:12
again shortly. They want to focus on education.
35:15
So building deliberative muscles from a young age, getting kids
35:18
into this and and believing that they have a right to be part of
35:22
these processes. So that they're, they're
35:25
desperate, desperate to get youngsters into their system or
35:28
at the same time we're going to pass laws to make sure that
35:31
youngsters don't get any information which is clear of
35:35
their system on social media reports, UK column news, other,
35:41
other channels which are putting out really good quality
35:43
information. We don't want youngsters
35:45
watching any of that. We're going to censor them to
35:48
their 16 because by the time they're 16, these people believe
35:54
that they will have captured the minds of youngsters.
35:57
That's the way I see it. Yeah, because they're in the
35:59
classrooms and they're already doing this, by the way.
36:01
It's not sort of tentative stuff they might want to do in the
36:03
future. It's already happening.
36:04
It's happening in this country. And Brian just mentioned
36:07
legislation. They want to build legal
36:09
frameworks encoding participation as a civic
36:12
service, right? It's similar to jury duty
36:15
essentially. And if you get selected, you
36:17
have to do it, yes. You don't have any choice about
36:19
the matter. They want to build bigger
36:21
communities of people scaling this stuff across all, all the
36:24
nations of the earth ultimately. And they want to build a public
36:27
communication brackets propaganda programme in order to
36:31
get people to buy into this whole agenda.
36:32
Ultimately. This is heavily linked into
36:35
things like the Fabian Society. So we can see here Chalice
36:38
talking at the launch of the Bloomberg LSE event back in
36:45
October. I think it was the London School
36:47
of Economics, which was founded by the Fabian Society.
36:49
This event was obviously attended by Sidney Khan,
36:56
supposedly Mayor of London, but actually he probably prefers
36:59
just being called the President of the C40 Cities and also a
37:02
former executive committee member of the Fabian Society.
37:05
Complete internationalist. He's not interested in a
37:08
national UK with with all the different types of people that
37:12
live in UK at the moment. This is an internationalist
37:16
brain. He's thinking on a global scale,
37:19
not helping people in his locality.
37:22
Absolutely no. He detests the nation state, I
37:26
believe, I would say can't. And, and and he's building this
37:28
into the physical infrastructure of of City Hall, for example.
37:31
So this is the new City Hall building that he's moved into.
37:34
So they had that thing down by Tower Bridge.
37:36
They're only in it for 20 years and now he's up sticks and he's
37:39
gone up into the down to the Docklands and they're literally
37:42
architected and designed this place to enable these democratic
37:47
or these these innovative democratic processes.
37:49
Deliberation will bring in 30 people and we'll talk to them
37:54
and we'll pretend that that tells us something about what
37:57
should be put forward in terms of policy for the whole
38:00
population, right? So this is actually playing out
38:03
as we speak and there's demands for more of it across the civil
38:07
service. So this is from civil service
38:10
world couple of years ago now, but the idea that citizens
38:14
assemblies are being demanded by the public.
38:16
And you can see the banner on the left hand side there,
38:18
citizens assemblies. Now that's an Extinction
38:20
Rebellion banner. Who funds extinction rebellion?
38:23
George Soros does, and so the demand is coming from the person
38:26
who's promoting the policy. See how that works?
38:29
Well, yes, because I think that the Lord Sainsbury's got an
38:32
element of this. I would I would tend to agree.
38:35
Being done on a national scale instead of an international
38:38
scale, but it's the same principle.
38:40
Exactly the same thing. And then when you just get that
38:43
back up quickly there, the Sue Gray, former chief of staff to
38:46
to Keir Starmer, she wasn't in position for that long basically
38:49
saying that Labour will introduce citizens assemblies
38:53
and actually the big push which is to replace the House of Lords
38:57
with a House of citizens, right? So this is total constitutional
39:02
restructuring around these democratic, new democratic
39:04
processes. Correct.
39:06
And for the audience, think about so it's Labour saying that
39:10
they would introduce Citizens Assembly, but we've already seen
39:13
that the Institute of Government is working in, through and
39:17
around government and advising the political parties before
39:22
they are elected as to how they should work and what the policy
39:26
is. So are we looking at Labour
39:28
Party policy? I'm going to suggest not just my
39:31
personal opinion, we are highly likely to be seen the Institute
39:35
of Government Policy and that policy has been created by
39:39
immensely wealthy and powerful people who've never been near
39:43
the democratic system. When you know where to look,
39:47
this is all in plain sight. And of course what we need is
39:51
more people to talk about it, including the likes of Nigel
39:55
Farage and the Reform Party, who at the moment are buried in the
39:59
weeds of rubber boats without telling the population the UK
40:03
what they really need to know. Absolutely, and one of the main
40:07
places that this is being trialled and will ultimately be
40:11
scaled from is from the cultural sector.
40:13
And we've got a clip here of a citizens assembly which took
40:16
place at the Museum of Birmingham, I believe it was
40:20
last year. It's nice to have the same
40:28
what's happening in the city. I'm hoping we can make a
40:32
positive change for Birmingham. It's nice to be a part of
40:36
something like this and feel like we're being listened to.
40:39
We. Can make a little bit of a
40:42
contribution to the solution. It's important we get that
40:46
right. I talked to other museum
41:00
directors about what we're doing, and I can see a look in
41:04
their eye. Really.
41:06
I wouldn't do that in a million years.
41:10
Your Birmingham residence. This is your museum, your
41:13
collection. You decide I'm the Displanx.
41:16
I would say the short answer is we do.
41:18
We do decide. The sessions just followed a
41:22
nice structure where it just starts from the people ground
41:26
up, builds up to what we want from the museums.
41:28
The regular people are going to be the people that come here.
41:32
So it's really important that they have a space to voice
41:35
things that they don't like and probably more importantly,
41:37
things that they do like and want to see more of so that we
41:41
can tailor the experience and then just get more people
41:43
through the doors. We think that the museums
41:46
deserve to be busier and better, and this is one of our first
41:50
attempts at doing that. So we sent out invitations to
41:52
5000 people and through a process called sortition, we
41:56
ended up selecting 25 people who represent different demographics
42:00
of a city to really genuinely find out what people think about
42:04
museums. So 5000 people out of a, it's
42:10
the second city, 3,000,000 population, 5000 people invited,
42:13
25 selected. And this gives you a sense of
42:18
how undemocratic these innovative democratic processes
42:22
are. And what you're seeing there,
42:24
particularly in the cultural sector, is the enforcement of a
42:28
multicultural perspective and the rewriting of the history of
42:34
Birmingham in this instance. But you can see how that can
42:37
then be expanded out across the whole of the country as well.
42:39
So Birmingham as it was, it's Birmingham as the international
42:43
elites wanted to be in the future, which is a completely
42:46
different thing. And we talked a bit about some
42:49
of the institutional powers behind this.
42:52
I'm going to Chuck a few more names and logos on the left hand
42:54
side as well. Eric Schmidt, former chief
42:57
executive of Google, on the steering committee at the
42:59
Bilderberg meeting, set up something called the
43:01
International Strategy Forum, of which Claudia Chalice is a
43:04
fellow. She's been a fellow there for 12
43:06
months. That is run by this guy Jared
43:09
Curran, who is, amongst other things, the president of global
43:12
affairs and partner at Goldman Sachs.
43:14
And in fact, let's just have a a bit more of a closer look at
43:17
Jared Cohen because he's a very, very interesting fella.
43:20
I said he's a Goldman Sachs. He's also an adjunct senior
43:22
fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations.
43:24
He's a member of the Trilateral Commission, which Brian's going
43:27
to talk again about in a moment. And then before that, he was the
43:30
founder and chief executive of something called Jigsaw at
43:33
Google, which was its intelligence operation, which
43:36
was working on regime, regime change operations in places like
43:40
Syria and Ukraine back in 2014. He was before that at the US
43:44
State Department as an advisor. It's Condoleezza Rice and also
43:48
Hillary Clinton. So that's Republican and
43:50
Democrat administrations. He was advising as a pure play
43:53
uniparty type guy. And he was also a Rhodes Scholar
43:56
as well, which is basically a finishing school for the global
43:59
establishment. And these are the people who are
44:01
running what I would say is a global coup d'etat.
44:05
I think that's that's obviously reasonable to say that certainly
44:09
it is not the UK government which is running UK.
44:13
Keir Starmer told the truth. He's working for Davos.
44:17
He's not interested in the people in this country.
44:20
Now the Trilateral Commission mentioned, let's just bring them
44:24
up on on screen. If you don't know about this
44:27
organization, you need to know about it.
44:30
This is a recent report that from the Commission itself, they
44:34
created a task force on global capitalism in transition.
44:39
So what they're telling you is that they are not happy with the
44:43
existing system of capitalism. We don't want free trade between
44:49
countries where it's the the creation of wealth and it's the
44:54
entrepreneur. Sorry.
44:56
It's the entrepreneurship of people in countries that creates
45:01
the business, creates the export.
45:03
No, this is all controlled by immensely people, immensely
45:06
powerful people, very wealthy through the Internet, national
45:10
banking system, which of course controls all the finance and the
45:14
equity. They are going to change
45:16
capitalism into their model. And if you get into the details
45:21
of this, you will find that you are right back with the type of
45:24
agenda that Ben has just been talking about.
45:28
So if we just have a little look at this one, one of many images
45:34
and comments coming up on social media because people are so
45:37
upset about what Trump has declared he wants to do with
45:40
Greenland. So the key point here is a
45:45
question, Is Trump as the president of the United States
45:48
acting as an individual or is he working for other people?
45:53
Now I'm going to say if you look at the deep strategic policy of
45:56
the Trilateral Commission, the world is to be forced into three
46:00
blocks. The Americas, that includes
46:03
North and South America, the Europe, the European system,
46:08
which also includes Africa and Asia.
46:12
Those are the three key blocks. And if you look at the politics
46:17
that Trump is unleashing at the moment, you could say he's
46:20
creating a mayhem which is making the formation of these
46:25
big centralized blocks even easier.
46:28
So just a thought, but have a look at it now this Greenland
46:33
has produced a backlash. Let's just have a look at this
46:36
video clip here. The interesting thing is the
46:39
soft music. Do you remember Defence HQ at
46:42
the beginning of the UK column news today?
46:45
We had this very soft music as a background to what could beat
46:50
violence and military operation. Let's have a look at this clip.
47:05
There are no pressing security threats to Greenland, but we
47:09
share real concern about Arctic security going forward as the
47:13
climate changes, as the sea ice retreats, as shipping routes
47:17
change. There are legitimate reasons for
47:20
us to explore ways to invest better in Arctic security
47:23
broadly, both in the American Arctic and in our NATO partners
47:27
and allies. As an original NATO ally,
47:31
Denmark has been a tremendous partner for us in security and
47:35
that relationship is rooted in a deeply shared values, values of
47:39
democracy, of self determination, and of respect
47:43
for territorial integrity. We seek to find a way forward
47:46
through this moment that reinforces the 225 year old
47:50
partnership and alliance between the people of the Kingdom of
47:53
Denmark and the United States. So interesting words from
47:59
Senator Coons there. Seems to me he's using very,
48:01
very conciliatory language, almost a back step away from the
48:06
intensely hard line from Trump. And what's produced that change?
48:11
Well, if we have a look at the next video clip, part of it is
48:14
the fact that ordinary people are making it perfectly clear
48:18
they're not happy. Let's have a look at this
48:20
protest in in in Greenland itself.
48:35
OK, we we seem to have a little bit of a problem on that clip.
48:38
We'll try and get that into UK column extra.
48:41
But essentially that was showing the number of people
48:44
demonstrating in Greenland and Denmark against Trump's
48:49
intention to take over, to take over Greenland itself.
48:55
OK, well if we move on, we have to say a huge thank you to

49:46
Now, aside from all the news and information on the UK Common
49:49
website, of course, tonight at 7:00 PM we've got germ warfare
49:55
going out, plumbing, not vaccines and decreased
49:59
mortality. And I'm sure that's going to be
50:01
another interesting episode. And here we've got Silk and
50:09
Steel podcast going out tonight at 9:00 PM and we're having a
50:13
look at inside Venezuela after Maduros kidnapping.
50:17
So absolutely on the button talks and I would encourage
50:22
people to go and have a look at that.
50:25
Now let's put Ukraine in a little bit of context with the
50:31
with the idea that the President of the United States is not just
50:35
a man who can act on his own, He can only do what he does with
50:39
the support of these very powerful international
50:43
organisations. So that turbulence is always a
50:47
good thing. Got some very interesting
50:50
effects happening in the studio around me at the moment.
50:52
But let's go through this. And this one was pointed out to
50:57
me that the United States through a presidential decree,
51:02
has just decided that it's going to withdraw from a lot of
51:05
international organisations, conventions and treaties that
51:09
are, quote, contrary to the interests of the United States.
51:14
Now, what is so interesting about this very comprehensive
51:17
list? We can't show it all in today's
51:20
news, but it demonstrates the number of non government
51:26
organisations and overseas organisations, including the UN
51:31
that are dragging nation states into the weeds of a globalist
51:36
agenda. Now, Trump has said he's
51:38
withdrawing and one and one of the ones he's withdrawing from
51:43
here is, is a, is the science and technology Centre in
51:48
Ukraine. Now, what is the significance of
51:52
this? Well, for the Russians, this
51:54
would be very significant because they accused this
51:57
organization of having worked with the bio labs as a, as an
52:02
offensive operation against Russia.
52:05
I'm going to say that's not proven, but it's a very strong
52:08
Russian claim. If we look at this
52:10
organization's own report, here's the annual report 2024.
52:15
If you're worried, worried about the look of the dog, this is a
52:18
dog trained to sniff out mines and explosives, so a working
52:23
dog, which is why it's got eye protection on there.
52:27
But in this report, of course, we can very quickly go and see
52:31
who the funding is from the two big players with United States
52:35
and the European Union. But also there you can see
52:39
Canada at 6% and the United Kingdom at 1.6% and 4.1% from
52:46
the Kingdom of Norway. Now, who in UK is putting in
52:50
money? Well, it's the Department for
52:52
Energy Security and Net 0. So we haven't sorted out energy
52:57
security in UK, if we even believe in that term.
53:01
But this organization pumping money into Ukraine and the
53:05
Americans now saying, well, we're pulling out of this
53:08
organization. And this is an organization that
53:12
has basically swallowed nearly half a billion in since it's
53:17
inception, which I think is going back to about 1993, if I
53:22
remember correctly. So Trump absolutely pulling out
53:26
of this organization clearly now slowing down military supplies
53:30
to Ukraine. Is this because he knows that
53:34
America is not capable of dealing with Russia and China?
53:39
And at the moment, the fear factor with the Americans is
53:42
China. And so he's shifting target not
53:47
because of his own policy or just the fact that we've got
53:52
very powerful global corporate people whispering in his ear.
53:58
As reported in UK column News on Friday.
54:03
We've also got organisations like the Trilateral Commission
54:06
clearly influencing the American administration in order to say
54:11
what it should and should not be doing in the world Now, in the
54:15
same manner as America. Under the Trilateral, we've got
54:20
the European Union system where instead of the nation states
54:24
we're grouping up to produce 1 cohesive European superstate.
54:29
We should remember this phrase. I've cheated slightly here.
54:34
It should be Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals.
54:37
But in fact many, many casual commentators have changed this
54:42
to the European Union, from the Atlantic to the Urals.
54:46
Now, the significance of the map on screen is that of course the
54:50
Urals are well to the east of Western Russia and therefore
54:55
Europe. To say it is going to run Europe
54:59
from the Atlantic to the EUR means that Russia must be
55:02
fragmented and absorbed into the EU.
55:07
Let's just have a look at this very informal, very informal,
55:12
but informative clip talking about this aspect.
55:19
Have you ever wondered where Europe ends and Asia begins and
55:22
vice versa? It looks like 1 continuous
55:25
landmass with no clear physical break between the two
55:28
continents. The boundary starts in the
55:29
Arctic Ocean, runs S along the Crest of the Ural Mountains, and
55:33
then follows the Ural River to the Caspian Sea.
55:36
West of this line are countries considered European, while east
55:39
of it are countries considered Asian.
55:41
This divide exists even though Russia is 1 continuous landmass
55:45
spanning both continents. OK, so little bit of information
55:51
there. Let's have a look at the next
55:53
clip where we've got Macron and Putin talking about this very
55:58
subject of of a Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals.
56:18
Most of the President supported the Lisbon of Vladivostok.
56:38
So for the non French speakers, essentially what was happening,
56:41
Macron was talking about an EU from the Atlantic to the Urals
56:47
and Putin cut back in and and said, well, basically he was
56:51
talking about a Lent, he was talking about an EU from Lisbon
56:58
through to Vladivostok. Ultimately, and this is this is
57:02
one of the key things is that the European power project has
57:06
always been about taking land as far as the EUR.
57:10
And that means that either EU, either the Russian, either
57:15
Russia does as it's told and joins the EU, or else it's got
57:19
to be subjugated and broken apart in order to be forced into
57:23
the European Union. Now why, why do I say this?
57:27
Well, this is 1 report. This is from Russia in Global
57:30
affairs back in 2007. And we've got an article here on
57:36
Yuri Duvenin, Ambassador Extraordinary of the Russian
57:41
Federation. And in 1990, four, 1999, he was
57:45
deputy foreign minister of the Russian Federation.
57:48
There's a little bit of text here and comment.
57:50
Let's have a look at it. So initially he said he was an
57:53
assistant to the head of the ministry's first European
57:57
department. I specialized mainly in French
57:59
affairs. So while I was on my way to
58:02
Khosbets office I thought we would discuss them and we really
58:06
did. Apparently Khrushchev just
58:09
called, I heard as soon as I entered the office.
58:13
He's enraged quote over Charles de Gaulle's statement about a
58:17
Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals.
58:20
He has given instructions to urgently clear it up with the
58:24
French what their president meant.
58:26
This is this is Khrushchev saying that he wants it cleared
58:30
up, to clear it up with the French what their president
58:34
meant, expressing ideas like that.
58:37
What if he is hatching plans to break up the Soviet Union?
58:41
So the assignment is urgent. Take a seat and we will prepare
58:46
the text of a letter of enquiry. It should be noted that the
58:50
slogan of building a Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals had
58:53
been launched by de Gaulle long before September 1962.
58:58
Moreover, de Gaulle created it and repeated it so often that
59:01
these words became a catch word, a kind of credo for French
59:05
policy in Europe and even more than in Europe, sorry, in
59:10
Europe, and even more than in Europe, as the de Gaulle put
59:15
emphasis, as de Gaulle put emphasis on them, even during
59:17
his stay in the United States. Of course, Soviet diplomats and
59:21
state and statesman had heard those words on many occasions
59:25
without giving much thought, though, to what they could mean
59:29
or how they could be interpreted.
59:31
Now, the key point that I'm making here is that for the
59:34
Russians at that time, they saw the statement as an implied or
59:40
actual threat to the cohesiveness of the Soviet
59:44
Union. And surprisingly, or maybe not
59:47
surprisingly, since that time we've witnessed the breakup of
59:50
the Soviet Union. And now in 2022 onwards, 24
59:56
onwards, we've got many people calling for the breakup.
1:00:02
Of the Russian Federation in order to save Ukraine, but also
1:00:07
in order to allow not only the EU but NATO to expand eastwards.
1:00:13
Is this just the policy coming out of the European Union?
1:00:17
I would suggest not because this again fully meets the trilateral
1:00:21
policy. So we're not dealing in a self
1:00:25
functioning European Union. We're also dealing in a European
1:00:29
Union under the control of trilateral Davos power in order
1:00:35
to get this globalist agenda in place.
1:00:38
So just take us on from there, Ben, into the subject of AI,
1:00:43
because of course AI is seen as one of the key weapons by the
1:00:48
globalist system in order to subjugate not only nation
1:00:52
states, but also the individual in the street.
1:00:56
Indeed it is. And you've just thrown an
1:01:00
additional talking point for me into the mix there, Brian, which
1:01:03
we'll come back to in a minute. But for now, let's just have a
1:01:05
look at in in on this day of Davos, the first day of Davos,
1:01:09
World Economic Forum 2026. Let's have a listen to a senior
1:01:13
partner from EY, one of the World Economic Forum strategic
1:01:17
partners, My old boss, in fact, Rahul Gautam, talking about what
1:01:21
he calls multimodal AI and its use in the media industry.
1:01:27
I'll turn an example in as well and stay on the positive train
1:01:30
here because I do think at the end of the day, this will all be
1:01:33
a net gain for the industry that we were doing real work with a
1:01:38
client who had a Eureka moment on the revenue side of what
1:01:41
could AI do for our business and for the IP we have invested in
1:01:46
building. And the exam question was, can
1:01:49
we build a multimodal model that will take a piece of content
1:01:53
that we've already developed and turn it into a different piece
1:01:57
of IP and content that we can then go and use for other
1:02:01
commercial purposes. So to make it very specific, we
1:02:04
built an animated film. The target for this film is 3 or
1:02:09
4 major western oriented countries.
1:02:12
The exam question is, would this play in other markets?
1:02:16
As we all know, animation is super expensive.
1:02:18
So the idea of localizing that content in advance of knowing
1:02:22
whether it was going to work too high held the climb.
1:02:25
So we're going to build it for our traditional audiences.
1:02:27
Well, in this case, let's load the film into a multimodal model
1:02:31
and have it create 7 graphic novels of the exact same IP, but
1:02:36
now in a graphic novel format. Let's then load it into another
1:02:41
model that localizes that content into other geographies
1:02:47
and languages, which is a far easier task than doing that with
1:02:50
animated content. So now all of a sudden off of a
1:02:53
base piece of IP that I developed with my traditional
1:02:56
workflows, I developed entirely new pieces of IP that I can
1:03:01
both, you know, generate revenue within the market I can use to
1:03:06
test the efficacy of my IP in other markets and help to build
1:03:10
the case to maybe create this film or localize it with a much
1:03:14
higher degree of confidence that it's going to be successful.
1:03:18
And if it works, maybe now I'm thinking about doing TV series
1:03:23
off of it. Maybe I'm looking at entirely
1:03:25
different forms of shoulder content and IP.
1:03:28
And I'm fundamentally now rewiring the economics of the
1:03:31
business because the revenue upside and the value of a base
1:03:35
piece of IP is fundamentally different than it would have
1:03:38
been pre IP. Rahul, I've got to tell you, I'm
1:03:44
really sorry to say that our chat box was not impressed with
1:03:47
your presentation there. But this is how these people
1:03:50
speak, by the way, and I'm fluent in that stuff.
1:03:52
I know exactly what he was talking about.
1:03:54
But essentially the point of that was they're working with a
1:03:57
media business, which may or may not be Disney, right?
1:04:00
I think it might be, but he doesn't actually say and he's
1:04:02
not allowed to say. In fact, because of client
1:04:05
confidentiality, they've created a cartoon, a piece of
1:04:08
intellectual property IP. It's what he mentioned that term
1:04:11
a few times. And that's been designed to
1:04:14
target 3 or 4 Western countries and they want to sell this in
1:04:18
other countries that aren't Western countries.
1:04:21
And instead of repurposing that, that cartoon, recreating it, re
1:04:26
scripting it, maybe thinking of doing something completely
1:04:29
different because that would be difficult and expensive and
1:04:32
would need people and all that kind of stuff.
1:04:33
You'd have to pay them their wages and all that.
1:04:35
Well, that's stuff you don't really want to do when you're a
1:04:37
big multinational corporation. You want to hold on to your
1:04:39
money, they'll just put it into the computer and the computer
1:04:43
will repurpose it and it will think about how it can
1:04:46
reposition it culturally to make it more relevant to new markets
1:04:50
that you can then sell it into. And what's the net outcome of
1:04:53
all of this? Well, it destroys the creative
1:04:56
opportunity, right? So actually making cartoons used
1:04:59
to be a a really creative endeavour and people would love
1:05:03
doing that. They'd enjoy doing that.
1:05:04
It's vocational, it's fun in a lot of ways and we're going to
1:05:08
now get rid of that. That will all be done in the
1:05:10
computer and your job will be to sell the thing that we've
1:05:13
produced. It will keep more money, as I've
1:05:16
kind of alluded to already in the bank account of the
1:05:18
multinational corporation and not allow for opportunities for
1:05:22
people to earn right. Really importantly, and this is
1:05:24
a big part of the destruction of the economic system in this
1:05:27
country and elsewhere that we've seen over the past 30-40, fifty
1:05:31
years have been driven by automation and AI is
1:05:33
accelerating that process. And then importantly, to come
1:05:36
back to what you were just talking about a moment ago,
1:05:38
Brian, you're going to destroy the national culture in these
1:05:41
countries that you're going into, because what you're saying
1:05:44
is you right need your own culture.
1:05:45
We're here, here's some culture. We've repurposed it to an
1:05:48
approximation of what we think that you might like.
1:05:51
And you can just have that instead.
1:05:53
And that goes to breakdown and homogenise nations in terms of
1:06:00
their cultural differences to make them easier to to lump
1:06:03
together into these huge administrative blocks that
1:06:07
they're driving it towards, you know, so there's a political and
1:06:10
an economic component to that as well.
1:06:12
Indeed, a lot more we can talk about, but we're out of times
1:06:16
for today's UK column news. Lots of questions coming in our
1:06:20
chat boxes with NATO, the breakup and NATO, what's
1:06:24
happening in Greenland. We are, we are.
1:06:27
We'll be back in a few minutes. The UK column extra and we'll
1:06:30
try and deal with some of those topics.
1:06:32
We'll at least discuss and talk through those important topics.
1:06:36
But that's it for today's UK column news.
1:06:39
Ben, thank you very much for joining me.
1:06:41
Huge thank you to our audience and an even bigger thank you to
1:06:45
everybody supporting UK column financially because we are here
1:06:50
because of your kindness and generosity.
1:06:53
So if you're not a member, do join us.
1:06:56
OK, that's it. We'll be back at the same time,
1:06:58
1:00 on Wednesday. Bye bye.
