World and business leaders speaking at last week\u2019s Davos World Economic Forum hit attendees with some hard truths about the global and political tumult they face, led by Argentina\u2019s firebrand President Javier Milei claiming that \u2018the Western world is in danger.\u2019<\/p>\n

Milei said the West \u2018is in danger because those who are supposed to have defended the values of the West are co-opted by a vision of the world that inevitably leads to socialism and thereby to poverty.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Unfortunately, in recent decades, motivated by some well-meaning individuals willing to help others, and others motivated by the wish to belong to a privileged caste, the main leaders of the Western world have abandoned the model of freedom for different versions of what we call collectivism,\u2019 he continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re here to tell you that collectivist experiments are never the solution to the problems that afflict the citizens of the world, rather they are the root cause,\u2019 Milei insisted. \u2018Do believe me, no one [is] in a better place than us Argentines to testify to these two points.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018Do not be intimidated by parasites who live off the state, do not surrender to the political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges,\u2019 Milei concluded. \u2018You are social benefactors, you are heroes, you are the creators of the most extraordinary period of prosperity we\u2019ve ever seen.\u2019<\/p>\n

The conference, held in Davos, Switzerland, from Jan. 15 to 19, included leaders from various industries and nations, celebrities and billionaires. Davos famously draws criticism for promoting a green agenda, as reports claimed up to 1,000 private jets carried conference goers to the meeting.<\/p>\n

In addition to the annually highlighted hypocrisy of the attendees, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts spoke on the sidelines after his panel at the forum about his shock at receiving an invitation, but said he cherished the opportunity to give voice to \u2018forgotten people.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018There\u2019s a lot of these forgotten people, as I\u2019ve come to learn over the last few years [who are] small business owners, people who scraped and saved,\u2019 he said, adding that many aren\u2019t often inherently political. \u2018They all believe the same thing, which is that the American Dream is slipping away from them.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018It\u2019s laughable that you or anyone would describe Davos as \u2018protecting liberal democracy,\u201d Roberts added. \u2018It\u2019s equally laughable to use the word \u2018dictatorship\u2019 at Davos and aim that at President Trump. In fact, I think that\u2019s absurd.\u2019<\/p>\n

During his panel, Roberts stressed that \u2018the very reason that I\u2019m here at Davos, is to explain to many people in this room and who are watching, with all due respect, nothing personal, but that you\u2019re part of the problem.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ll be candid here, because I think I\u2019ve been invited here to be candid: The kind of person who will come into the next conservative administration is going to be governed by one principle, and that is destroying the grasp that political elites and unelected technocrats have over the average person,\u2019 he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former President Trump found some surprising support from unlikely sources, including JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who praised Trump\u2019s handling of some issues, including the economy and China.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I think we should stop insulting the other side, including \u2018MAGA,\u201d Dimon told FOX Business\u2019 Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired on \u2018Mornings with Maria\u2019 ahead of the Davos conference.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019ve mentioned publicly many times that a lot of people have voted for President Trump, not because they believe in his family values, but they look at some of the things he did,\u2019 Dimon continued. \u2018He grew the economy. He was right about NATO, they spend more money. He was right\u2026 about China. He was right that\u2026 some regulations do not cause positive output.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018So, that\u2019s why they\u2019re voting for him, and I think the Democrats should be a little more thoughtful when they talk about \u2018MAGA,\u201d he added. \u2018I don\u2019t like how he said things about Mexico [\u2026] but he wasn\u2019t wrong about some of these critical issues, and that\u2019s why they\u2019re voting for him.\u2019<\/p>\n

Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman argued that the Biden administration\u2019s approach to a range of issues, including the border and economy, has proven too much for the U.S. and he doubts it can handle a second Biden term.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019ve now got $2 trillion deficits with no end in sight, we\u2019ve got our debt to GDP going up, we\u2019ve got open borders with 8 million people coming over,\u2019 Schwarzman said during an interview with Bloomberg. \u2018I don\u2019t know that the country, frankly, is prepared for four more years of that, because those things all poll very negatively, so I can\u2019t really project what would happen.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

He also lamented the significant drop in commercial real estate value \u2013 of which Blackstone stands as the largest holder \u2013 and that \u2018no one wants to buy,\u2019 which in turn is creating a lot of \u2018interesting\u2019 investments. He would not be drawn on speculation about the U.S. election more broadly, saying only that he wants to see \u2018how the game plays.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n

Greece\u2019s conservative Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis warned that \u2018one needs to be very careful in this environment where everyone is pointing the finger at populists, not to alienate the people who actually vote for them, because some of these grievances are actually very real. People feel that they are left behind by globalization. The fact that wages have not really increased, inflation is really hitting lower-income households \u2013 these are real grievances.\u2019<\/p>\n

Open Society Foundations Chairman Alex Soros, son of the controversial Democrat mega-donor George Soros, surprised some with his comments that \u2018the Davos consensus is always wrong.\u2019 Soros was discussing whether Donald Trump would once again be president.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital\u2019s Gabriel Hays, Timothy H.J. Nerozzi and Sarah Rumpf-Whitten and FOX Business\u2019 Charles Creitz contributed to this report.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
