WEF Reports 2026: Exposing the World Economic Forum

Every January, the world’s richest and most powerful people retreat to Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum.

It’s a secretive club of oligarchs, politicians, bankers, tech bosses and their media friends — the “masters of the universe” who rule over the rest of us.

The mainstream media doesn’t scrutinize Davos. They cheerlead it. They go as insiders, not reporters.

That’s why Rebel News is back on the ground in Switzerland — and the mission is underway.

Since January 19, Ezra Levant and Avi Yemini have been scrumming VVIPs on the streets of Davos with veteran videographers Lincoln Jay and Benji Chung. The strategy is simple: hunt for the most powerful people in the world and ask direct, uncomfortable questions on camera.

Our cameras are rolling and our reports are already pouring in. Here are three highlights from the first days of the mission:

CAUGHT HIM! Rebel News pummels Trudeau with questions at World Economic Forum

For years in Canada, Justin Trudeau has avoided Rebel News questions with a security buffer and carefully curated press. In Davos, he had none of that. Ezra hammered him on everything from Alberta independence to China to censorship to who paid for his travel. Surrounded by hundreds of “accredited” media, not one asked a real question — because they’re here as WEF participants, not reporters.

I confronted Chrystia Freeland on her ethics — and she panicked!

Ezra confronted former cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland about everything from her bank seizures during the trucker protest to her dual roles in Canadian and Ukrainian politics. Rather than answer, Freeland lashed out — insisting that anyone who questioned her must be working for Vladimir Putin. In Canada she would have hidden behind police lines; in Davos, she had no such shield. It was pure accountability journalism, the kind no CBC reporter would ever dream of attempting.

‘Masters of the universe’ arrive in Davos on private jets while lecturing public on climate change

Ezra and Avi visited a secluded private airport used to ferry elites into Davos — hundreds of private jets lined up for the most climate-obsessed conference in the world. These are the same global planners who demand everyone else lower their carbon footprints, eat less meat, and turn down their thermostats. Their hypocrisy takes off long before they ever arrive on Swiss soil.

Former Google boss CRASHES OUT when confronted over censorship in Davos

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt exploded when Ezra and Avi questioned him about Silicon Valley’s censorship machine. Accusations of “harassment,” shouted protests, and a hasty retreat into a Davos pavilion — all for being asked about a decade of suppressing dissenting voices online. If that isn’t accountability journalism, nothing is.

The cast of characters this year is extraordinary. On the Canadian side alone, Prime Minister Mark Carney is here, joined by Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne and Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand. Also expected are Royal Bank CEO David McKay — and Justin Trudeau has now shown up in person. Then there are global leaders like President Donald Trump, Argentina’s President Javier Milei, and Isaac Herzog, the President of Israel.

Then come the billionaires and global planners: UN boss António Guterres; WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus; ECB president Christine Lagarde; Bill Gates; Microsoft’s Satya Nadella; NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang; and Wall Street titans like Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan and Ken Griffin of Citadel. These are the people who like to decide how the future will work — without asking how any of us feel about it.

This is why we go to Davos. Accountability journalism only exists here on the street — outside the perimeter, outside the moat. If we didn’t show up, no one would ever confront the world’s most powerful people as they plot the future behind closed doors.

But the mission isn’t over yet. We’re in Davos for several more days and we intend to confront as many VVIPs as possible.

The work is expensive. Hotels are scarce; Airbnbs are gouged; flights, trains, meals and reporting costs add up fast. No luxury perks. No corporate sponsors. Just cameras, questions and grit.

If you want us to keep challenging this elite class face-to-face, please help by chipping in a donation.

All of Ezra’s and Avi’s videos and reports are being published right here on this page. Please bookmark and check back daily as the mission continues.

The greatest concentration of VVIPs anywhere in the world is here in Davos — and we intend to confront them all.

We’re only able to do this because of viewers like you. Davos is the most expensive place we report from all year — the WEF buys up every hotel room and Airbnb for kilometres, and local landlords multiply their rates by ten for the week. Add in economy flights, trains, meals, and basic reporting expenses for a small team, and the bill ends up in the tens of thousands of dollars.

We don’t take corporate money, and we don’t take government subsidies, which means we either crowdfund this mission or it doesn’t happen. If you want someone confronting the elites on behalf of the public instead of flattering them, please pitch in a donation today.

Help get Rebel News to Davos for the 2026 World Economic Forum

Latest News

Rebel News doesn’t have corporate sponsors or billionaire backers. Our journalism stays independent for one reason: viewers like you support it.

Right now, we’re on the ground in Davos reporting from the World Economic Forum — where the world’s most powerful people gather and where the mainstream media too often plays nice. We’re crowdfunding the basics: economy-class flights, modest lodging, meals, trains, and on-the-ground reporting costs so Ezra Levant, Avi Yemini, and our crew can put cameras and tough questions where the powerful don’t want them.

Every contribution — large or small — goes directly to WEF Reports 2026 coverage. If you want fearless, independent reporting from Davos, please donate now.

Bonus for $100+ donors: If you chip in $100 or more (or if you gave $100+ to our previous WEF crowdfunding campaign), we’ll invite you to a private live Zoom town hall with Ezra and Avi, streaming from Davos. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes briefing and we’ll answer your questions live.

Town hall time: Thursday, January 22 at 7:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. MT (yes, that’s 1:00 a.m. in Davos — we’ll be up for it).

Please donate today to help keep us in Davos — and bring you reporting you won’t find anywhere else.
