Switzerland. [ laughter ] yes. Yes those chocolate making clock suckers have made themselves the destination for the worlds most powerful individuals. Impressive with their resourcefulness and lets call their amoral amoral attitude towards nazi gold neutrality. Who is in switzerland . The rich and powerful are at the World Economic forum now. Jon rich and powerful. I wonder where the rich and powerless gather . What else . War of words in geneva. Jon now were going somewhere. Fireworks fly at the start of peace conference. Fighting words. Temperatures are flaying. Jon a word war. Thats the worst kind of war. [laughter] you know my grandpa served three tours in world war ii. [ laughter ] wordwar ii. [ laughter ] i remember he came home. Somebody called him a bleep and [laughter] he got that far away look if his eyes like he was thinking about grammar. [ laughter ] but apparently not only are the rich and powerful gathering in davos but diplomats siem continuously gathering in montreux switzerland and they are the ones engaging in a wordwar. The situation is deteriorating so much that even the delegates handshake have to pass through an ind immediateary. [ laughter ] to the word war. You live until new york, i live in syria. I have the right to give the syrian version here in this forum. Yes, of course. This is my right as a syrian. We have to have some constructive and harmonious dialog. You spoke 25 minutes. You said inflammatory of [speaking at once] [laughter] jon thats your word war . A Little Exchange would qualify as the nicest theater ive ever been to. Ive seen games of scramble that have gotten scrabble that have gotten worse than that. Sinbad is a perfect proper noun bleep . What is the problem here . As of a few days ago hes running for reelection. [laughter] jon oh, no, reelection, well i hope in gassing his own people doesnt hurt him in the primaries. [laughter] nothing is getting done in montreux. Hopefully they have more success in daf yos. Were until davos to break down all of this. What are people saying. Here at davos the view is they need to deal with inequality. Its the number one issue people are talks about the salons, in the bars in the restaurants. Jon yes, inequality. They are talking about the cigar lounges and the champagne pavilions in the cocaineatoriums. They are talking about it inside the same shared escorts. [ laughter ] the priority is helping the less fortunate. All right so a group of worlds wealthiest people get together in a is a clued mountain enclaif to discuss concerns over income inequality. Weve been having aan argument. She believes its hypocrisy daf dwroas. They come here and tuck about the havenots but its the haves that have their noses in the trough. I dont degree awith that. I dont agree with it. I believe the real hypocrisy are the poor people who say they care so much about incoming equality but couldnt be bothered to come to davos. [ laughter ] shows lack of commitment. [ laughter ] but at least they are talking about the issue. How bad is the income inequality issue now anyway . The poorer half of worlds people have about the same amount of money as the richest 85 people on earth. Jon jesus christ would not be very happy about that statistic. 85 people have the same amount of wealth as the population of china, india and all of after cand australia. 85 people. Theres more people in arcade fire than that. [ laughter ] ill tell what you, here is the good news. This thing this little enclave is meeting. Its not happening in secret. These people are being watched. I bet theres financial journalists all over this conference to connell for the the aflected through im assuming hard it hadding take no prisoners journalismth were talking about billionaires. The World Economic for jum a magnet for them. Eating the cheesy swiss fondue. The propie ter of the hotel gave us a private ride because we couldnt get a taxi. Think its vip. We were able to get this all access badge. Fox business rocks. [ laughter ] jon what is with the giddiness. Are you financial journalists or just excited to be invited to the money oscars . I loved you in the real life events they later based the wolf of wall street on. Keep up the good works. For more on the montreux we go to jason jones. Jon, i cant believe im stully here. I have scored an all access pass to some of the more horrific chronicling of miewn yam ms. Human misery weve seen in decades. Yeah, the daily show rocks. Jon glad you are there. At the Montreux Palace Hotel its about rubbing soldiers with the shoulders with the movers and shakers of dploam six check out my instagram feed. Yeah, thats me with syrian foreign minister walid muallem. That guy is say madman. No, seriously a madman. Jon you made it sound like the summit in montreux is as frivolous as the one in davos. Let me stop through, jon. Jon samantha bee is that you . Yes, jon im here in davos, okay. [cheers and applause] i can assure you theres nothing frivolous going on here. The leader its World Economic forum are laser focused on making this a fairer and more equal planet. Jon really . Because it looks like you are at a party. A party at gatsbys house. Io no what you are talking about but i hope you are not suggesting that its on orgy jon i never said, orgy, samth thats good because it would be insulting. [ laughter ] jon you are literally at an orgy right now arent you sam . It is a panel on emerging economies and if youll excuse me i have serious reporting to hqrrrdx applause]d jon let me ask you a question if you have a going al letter for google alert for google you may have read that going is in a little bit of hot water these days. Going is under fire in san francisco. Going is one of the companies that run a fleet of private buses carrying workers every morning to Silicon Valley 40 miles away. A google commuter bus was blocked for a half hour. Protesters chanted as they surrounded the bus and held up sign. Google exums read one notice. Jon take that you, you carpooling scum. How dare you enjoy the luxury of a bus . [laughter] this really isnt about the buses, is it . This seems to be about more than shuttle buses. Of course, it is. Of course it is. The private buses have become symbols of income inequality and the belief that well paid tech workers are to blame for steeply rising rents. Jon as Vladmir Lenin always said workers of the world unit and surround the other workers bus. I think the anger is misplaced here. You are like the guy screaming at the car rental agent because you dont think you should have to pay for a bleep full tank of gas before you go out like angie made the gas policy. Its not angry, it was troy. [ laughter ] its not angie, it was troy. I think its a ruse by google so people dont focus on what they are doing. The app called sex with google glass allows couples to watch and record sexual acts and switch video feeds so their partner can watch from their point of view. [audience reacts] jon finally google glass has made it possible to see what it looks like to go bleep yourself. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] i really who honestly wants to have sex from their Partners Point of view . The one thing that could drive me away from sex permanently is the knowledge of how i look what im doing it. [ laughter ] im pretty sure i have a good idea what my o face looks like. Two words constipated baby. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] anyway [cheers and applause] anyway, enjoy your sleep. [ laughter ] google glasses, its creepy. Unless you can make some money off it. I dont think its a good thing to put that on a little device on your eye piece. Its a reminder of bit by bit of google just sort of immerses itself in our world, you know . I think its a genius move. We own the stock here. I think the google glass is one thing that is going to take the stock even higher. Jon what . You know, cavuto its a disgusting orwellian intrusion into the most intimate moment people can share. I categorize it as a buy. Its a super icky nightmare machine that gives you a closeup of your own o face but at least its user friendly. They have to say okay, glass its time and the app starts recording. And then you have to okay, glass, pull out to stop. [ laughter ] [cheers and applause] jon that is not what you say after sex. Everyone knows when you are filming the sex act when its over you yell check the gate. Projec wrap for my penis on this projec . 2 aaaaaaaaaa [cheers and applause] jon welcome back. My guest tonight a journalist who has reported extensively from africa in the middle east its new book is called stringer reporters journey in the congo. Please welcome to the program anjan sundaram. [cheers and applause] first of all congratulations its a beautifully well written narrative about your time in the congo as a young man. But it you were 22 years old and you were graduating from college. Uhhuh. Jon where were you in school . I went to yale. Jon so a safety scoosm and you had a degree in what . Mathematics. Jon so you had a job offer at what was the name of company . Goldman sachs. Jon you went to yale Hillary Rodham clinton a degree in math mat micks why and had a job offer add Goldman Sachs and you called your mother and said, you know what . I think im going to move to the congo. And she cried. Jon she cried. She wept with happiness. With happiness. Jon did you have a job lined up in the congo . No, i bought a oneway ticket and showed up there. No one paid for me. I just showed up. Jon let me ask you this let me see if i can frame this correctly why . If you want to know, the real reason i had read that three Million People, now its five Million People had died. No one was reporting about it. Jon you were 22. Yes. Jon and you had the presence of mind, the perception and empathy to think this is where i need to go to bring this situation to light. Its remarkable. [ applause ] i felt the instinct [cheers and applause] jon its wonderful. So you get there and you call you want to become a stringer i guess they call them. Somebody freelancing. I doesnt want to didnt want to become a stringer. I wanted a job. I wanted to be paid to report on what was happening. I got a job as a stringer where i was paid for 15 cents that they published. Not every word that i wrote. No support, no expenses paid nothing at all in ways of insurance. Jon would you write things like it is very, very, very, very, very hot here. I would try to write long stories. Jon the congo is to me one of most interesting and tragic countries in africa because of its vast mineral wealth. Its an incredibly resourcefilled land that somehow the population cannot reap the benefits of this mineral wealth. In the middle of the book i describe this journey i make up the river to an indian businessmans mind. And it was stunning to see to what extent the congolese government was not able to control or did not have authority over the area. Even more surprisingly what you found was not people who had been abandoned. I found a pigmy tribe that had given away forest for bags of salt Toll International logging companies. I saw mass graves left by foreign armies. People asked me not for food or money but metal detectors. Theres an incredible a sense that even in that country congo you have Global Forces at play and peoples lives are caught up in this and you dont feel like you are in some remote abandoned forgotten place. Jon but it is forgotten because its the type of colonialism and exploitation that you feel like these powers should not be able to get away with anymore. Its old school exploitation, in a way. Indeed. And the difference now is that there are african players involved. There are other african countries who have stepped in where once it was the west. It was the colonial powers that used to exploit congo. Now that no longer is kosher so now you have to you work through african countries. That is much harder to broach and to criticize because its internal politics and they have their own histories of plans and internal wars that go back centuries. And they are still sorting all of that out. Jon the chinese as well are enormous players. You cannot talk about intervention now without talking about indians that work at a level of society and the chinese who work through government and come in with these enormous projects, huge roads, massive buildings and the congolese for them its a shock. They are used to no government. They are used to working, working, working and their ideas never amount to anything, never add up because theres no institutions or organizations to take their ideas to the next level. Jon why cant their government gain a more centralized control over the infrastructure there. There are very smart people who are there in government. There are very well educated. They know very well the problems of the area. Why cant they turn that around . Its a problem of leadership. It will take some. Congos independent hero is patrice luomunga, a Freedom Fighter in the 1960s. He is assassinated with western assistance. Jon what . That is crazy, western assistance. [laughter] since then they struggled to find new leader. And vision means a leader who will build institutions instead of destroying them, a leader who realizes that building institutions will be better not only for themselves but for their children. Instead you have people who succumbed because congo is so incredibly wealthy they succumbed to the temptation of cutting deals with the libyan forces. Jon its incredible reporting. What is your next book going to be . About rwanda, about journalists i taught in rwanda. Jon in between those two did you spend a few day as the disney land . You could use a little decompression. Its a remarkable look at the daily lives of people in c aaaaaaa [cheers and applause] jon all right. Thats our show. Wow. That was an impressive young man and a fine book. Join us next week at 11 00. [ laughter ] i dont know why i repeat that. You probably knew that already. Here it is your moment of zen. This is what they do every single time, anderson. Theres a huge snowstorm.
