Carol Roth: 'You Will Own Nothing' Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

The King of Stuff welcomes Carol Roth to talk about her new book, You Will Own Nothing: Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back. Carol is a “recovering” investment banker, an entrepreneur, a TV pundit and host, and a New York Times bestselling author. More importantly, a third-time guest on the King of Stuff!
When she first heard that one of the World Economic Forum’s predictions for 2030 was “You will own nothing, and be happy,” she thought it was an outlandish fantasy. Then, she researched it. What she found was that a number of businesses, governments, and global elites share a vision of a future that sounds utopian: Everyone will have everything they need, and no one will own anything.
In You Will Own Nothing¸ Roth reveals how the agendas of Wall Street, world governments, international organizations, socialist activists, and multinational corporations like Blackrock all work together to reduce the power of the dollar and prevent millions of Americans from taking control of their wealth.
After the award-winning interview, Jon wraps up the news of the week, including Tucker's weekend in Iowa, the Ukrainian stalemate, and why he enjoys living in hell.
