Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 344 ｜ The Great Reset： Everything You Need to Know ｜ Guest： Justin Haskins

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

00:00:11.260 Today I am talking to Justin Haskins.

00:00:13.980 This guy is the foremost expert that I know on The Great Reset.

00:00:20.400 He has written about this.

00:00:21.700 He's done a variety of interviews on this.

00:00:24.040 This guy really knows the ins and outs of what The Great Reset is.

00:00:27.500 He's going to help us separate conspiracy theory from what's actually going on and what we

00:00:33.420 should be concerned about.

00:00:34.440 And I'm so excited for you to listen to this conversation.

00:00:36.820 Without further ado, here is Justin Haskins.

00:00:43.620 Justin, thank you so much for joining me.

00:00:46.780 Yeah, it's great to be with you.

00:00:48.280 Can you tell everyone who may not know who you are and what you do?

00:00:52.480 Sure.

00:00:53.400 My name is Justin Haskins.

00:00:55.120 I am the editorial director at the Heartland Institute, which is a national free market

00:00:59.900 think tank.

00:01:00.940 And part of what I do at the Heartland Institute is run our Stopping Socialism project, which

00:01:06.660 features a website, stoppingsocialism.com.

00:01:09.340 We've done a book.

00:01:10.280 We've done all sorts of different things, speaking engagements and articles and all kinds of great

00:01:15.960 stuff.

00:01:16.400 So my main focus, honestly, is usually socialism-related topics.

00:01:21.600 I also write a column for Fox News, and I write a lot for Fox Business and a whole bunch

00:01:28.320 of other websites.

00:01:29.420 I've worked for The Blaze before, so I'm a huge fan of The Blaze and Glenn Beck and all

00:01:34.440 of that.

00:01:35.040 Right.

00:01:36.220 Yeah.

00:01:36.820 So all sorts of different things.

00:01:38.540 Cool.

00:01:38.660 But socialism is my main topic area.

00:01:41.220 Got it.

00:01:41.600 And today we're talking about The Great Reset.

00:01:44.180 A lot of people have been asking me to talk about this, but it's kind of hard to separate

00:01:48.420 fact from fiction, I've realized, because some of it seems like straight-up conspiracy

00:01:53.020 theory.

00:01:53.700 Some of it seems legitimate.

00:01:55.100 And so I'm hoping that today, because you've been talking about this a lot recently, you

00:01:59.580 are able to help us kind of wade through what is true and what is not.

00:02:03.220 So first, can you just set it up for us?

00:02:05.360 Can you tell us what The Great Reset is?

00:02:08.960 Where did this phrase come from?

00:02:10.600 Is it real?

00:02:12.680 Right, right.

00:02:13.460 So the Great Reset, the modern Great Reset movement began, at least the term, the Great

00:02:22.120 Reset, because it's really existed for a very long time in different forms.

00:02:25.540 But the modern Great Reset movement began earlier this year, primarily at this event hosted by

00:02:31.540 the World Economic Forum, which is this very large, very powerful, influential international

00:02:36.980 organization, nonprofit organization based in Switzerland.

00:02:40.140 They're the folks that hold that big annual Davos meeting full of celebrities and heads

00:02:46.640 of state and all of that every year.

00:02:48.960 And they hosted this big meeting in June, at the very beginning of June, where they rolled

00:02:54.960 out this plan for a Great Reset.

00:02:57.320 That's the phrase that they came up with.

00:02:59.800 And this Great Reset of the global economy using COVID-19 as sort of the initial justification

00:03:06.400 for why we needed to have this Great Reset of the global economy.

00:03:10.780 And at this event, they had all sorts of incredibly powerful, influential people there talking openly

00:03:18.740 about supporting this Great Reset.

00:03:20.800 And some of the things that they were saying were just absolutely unbelievable.

00:03:25.680 For example, the head of the World Economic Forum, this is probably one of the best quotes

00:03:30.380 about the Great Reset, wrote this article right around the same time that they had this event

00:03:36.040 for the World Economic Forum.

00:03:37.480 And he said that the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp all aspects of our societies

00:03:44.200 and economies, from education and social contracts and working conditions.

00:03:49.560 Every country from the United States to China must participate.

00:03:53.820 And every industry from oil and gas to tech must be transformed.

00:03:58.740 In short, we need a Great Reset of capitalism.

00:04:02.520 And from there, there were all sorts of other people, Prince Charles, heads of major corporations

00:04:09.860 like Microsoft, Bank of America, other people who spoke about this, international nonprofits

00:04:16.860 like Greenpeace International, for example, International Monetary Fund, United Nations.

00:04:22.800 I mean, you name it.

00:04:23.840 If you're a really powerful person, you have come out and spoken in favor of the Great Reset

00:04:29.100 in some fashion or another.

00:04:30.300 And a lot of them did it at this initial event held by the World Economic Forum in June.

00:04:35.600 Now, what exactly is the Great Reset?

00:04:37.980 That's the question that everyone's asking.

00:04:42.340 It's complicated to nail down, OK?

00:04:45.180 They talk, they love to talk in these sort of big, broad, grand language about ushering

00:04:50.940 in this new economic era and, you know, like you just heard from Klaus Schwab, revamping

00:04:58.380 all aspects of our society.

00:04:59.880 But what exactly does it mean?

00:05:00.980 Well, when you read through the massive amount of Great Reset literature, speeches, presentations

00:05:07.560 that they've given, it essentially comes down to two main parts.

00:05:12.120 The first part is they want these big, massive social programs, the sort of things that you

00:05:17.380 would normally think of when you think of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Bernie Sanders or people like

00:05:21.940 that, like Green New Deal, federal jobs guarantee, single payer health care, all of that.

00:05:27.680 That's one part of it.

00:05:28.800 The other part of it is completely changing the way that businesses are evaluated so that

00:05:36.520 businesses aren't just evaluated based on profit or how good their services are or what their

00:05:41.840 customers think of businesses.

00:05:43.100 But they evaluate these businesses based on those things, plus a whole bunch of left-wing goals.

00:05:48.920 And how good or how woke are you, essentially, is what they're looking to do so that the entire

00:05:54.820 and this isn't just in America.

00:05:56.280 It's not just in Europe, but they want to do this all over the world.

00:05:59.300 And together, these two main components are the Great Reset.

00:06:03.960 So COVID was the initial justification.

00:06:06.520 The economy was destroyed deliberately by government.

00:06:09.800 And that was their justification for needing to rebuild it, to take this golden opportunity,

00:06:15.740 as Prince Charles called it, to usher in this Great Reset.

00:06:19.220 And the long-term justification is the so-called climate crisis that we're facing.

00:06:25.220 And that's the reason why we need to do this, even if COVID goes away.

00:06:29.300 So I think that's a—I know there's a lot there that I threw out there, but I think that

00:06:33.460 that gives you sort of a broad summary of what the Great Reset is.

00:06:37.160 So I think part of—well, you can tell me if this is a conspiratorial conclusion that

00:06:44.060 people are jumping to.

00:06:45.780 You know, there are some people who—I think that there was some kind of event, I forget

00:06:50.700 what it was called last year, where—and Bill Gates was a part of it, which just adds to

00:06:55.540 the conspiratorial nature of even saying this, because he's the center of a lot of conspiracy

00:07:00.060 theories.

00:07:00.520 And some accusations, obviously, are true.

00:07:04.640 But there was an event last year where they pretended to have a pandemic, and it was a

00:07:10.540 coronavirus pandemic.

00:07:11.820 And they talked about, you know, what they would do in the government and how they would

00:07:17.380 handle that sort of thing.

00:07:18.380 So some people are looking at something like that, and then they are looking at where this

00:07:23.160 virus came from—China.

00:07:24.900 They are looking at these major organizations like the WHO, who seems to be in bed with

00:07:30.220 China and actually helped China cover up part of the coronavirus in their reporting in the

00:07:35.220 very beginning.

00:07:36.000 And then they're hearing politicians in America at the beginning of the year, like AOC, as

00:07:40.620 you were saying, saying, not the words Great Reset, but this is an opportunity.

00:07:44.740 This is an opportunity to change things.

00:07:46.960 This is an opportunity to push the programs that we want.

00:07:50.020 And then we hear something like the Great Reset.

00:07:53.620 And so in a lot of people's minds, and I think understandably, all of these things start coming

00:07:58.200 together and people start to ask this question, was the coronavirus manufactured for this purpose

00:08:06.040 to cause the Great Reset?

00:08:07.760 Or are these major world economies or economists in powers using this very, you know, this

00:08:15.700 organically begun virus to pass there and push their agenda?

00:08:22.960 So what is your take on that, just for the people who find themselves kind of wondering

00:08:27.540 those forbidding questions?

00:08:30.040 Right.

00:08:30.440 So that's a great question.

00:08:32.260 The event that you're referring to occurred, I believe it was in October.

00:08:35.720 It was definitely in the fall of 2019.

00:08:37.880 It was called Event 201.

00:08:40.000 And it was co-hosted not only by Bill Gates, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, but also

00:08:45.340 Johns Hopkins, which has been one of the leading voices on handling the coronavirus and all of

00:08:51.400 that, and the World Economic Forum.

00:08:53.320 They were also one of the co-hosts of this.

00:08:55.140 And of course, they're one of the biggest supporters of the Great Reset.

00:08:58.300 So it's very easy to see how having a big event just a few months before the pandemic

00:09:03.420 breaks out, talking about how we would handle a big pandemic would lead to all these conspiracy

00:09:09.020 theories.

00:09:09.660 In my experience, and there's probably nobody on the face of the planet who's read more

00:09:14.680 literature about the Great Reset than I have and has been more immersed in this than I

00:09:19.120 have.

00:09:20.000 My take on it is that I don't believe that there was any sort of deliberate creation of

00:09:26.660 a pandemic in order to create this Great Reset.

00:09:30.360 What I think was going on is that they were and have been for many years, the same group

00:09:36.780 of people, similar people, preparing for any kind of an opportunity that they could get

00:09:41.780 to usher in something like the Great Reset.

00:09:45.160 And this was just part of that preparation.

00:09:48.160 You could probably find things in 2018, 2017, 2016, where they were doing very similar things

00:09:53.980 because they've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

00:09:57.380 So when the pandemic came along, it was for them the perfect excuse to do the things that

00:10:03.480 they've always wanted to do.

00:10:04.840 They've been waiting for that moment for a long time.

00:10:07.940 And sometimes they're waiting for a pandemic.

00:10:10.560 Other times they've been trying to sort of manufacture this existential climate change crisis.

00:10:16.500 That's been something they've been trying to do for a long, long time to usher in many

00:10:19.900 of the same programs.

00:10:21.480 So I don't think that that there was any sort of a conspiracy to create the pandemic.

00:10:27.340 But I do think that they were waiting.

00:10:29.920 They were willing.

00:10:30.680 They were eager to use the pandemic as a justification for beginning this whole Great Reset process.

00:10:38.120 And do the lockdowns?

00:10:39.920 I think another question that people have, OK, well, are some of the lockdowns, which seem

00:10:44.040 to be, in a lot of cases, very arbitrary and they kind of spontaneously pop up.

00:10:51.380 They're not correlated to any kind of of data.

00:10:54.960 Do these kind of shutdowns of small businesses, of restaurants, of schools, of people who are

00:11:00.100 just trying to get by, does that have anything to do with the hope of precipitating the Great

00:11:08.140 Reset or is that just, again, a part of a conspiracy theory and really the lockdowns that are being

00:11:15.320 pressed by these Democratic politicians and this whole big Great Reset agenda, they just

00:11:19.840 happen to coincide, but they're not actually cooperating.

00:11:24.200 So I think initially the primary reason that you had so many lockdowns was because, remember,

00:11:30.520 you had a lot of conservative governments or so-called conservative governments locking

00:11:34.300 everything down, too, these people would not support a Great Reset, right?

00:11:38.540 I think initially politicians are just trying to cover their butts, right?

00:11:42.080 That's one of the first things that politicians do. 0.95

00:11:44.620 And so I think what they were trying to do is they didn't want to be the first, they didn't

00:11:50.900 want to be a politician that allows things to stay open and then thousands or even hundreds

00:11:57.240 of thousands of people in their state die as a result of keeping everything open.

00:12:01.480 And at the time, there were public health experts saying that no matter what we do, you were

00:12:06.900 going to have maybe over a million people die from coronavirus, no matter what happens.

00:12:12.040 There were people saying that at the time.

00:12:13.740 So I think initially it was more of just an overreaction in certain cases.

00:12:18.360 The lockdowns, the way they rolled them out, never made any sense.

00:12:22.060 So I think it was just an overreaction.

00:12:24.120 Over time, though, when we started getting more data and more evidence and it became very clear

00:12:28.600 that these lockdowns weren't working, we could see that in other countries around the world

00:12:32.540 where they were locking everything down.

00:12:34.400 And it still wasn't stopping the pandemic from happening.

00:12:36.800 When we started realizing that most of the people who were dying were older people.

00:12:41.180 They were people with pre-existing health conditions.

00:12:43.900 They were people who were living in nursing homes.

00:12:46.360 It didn't make any sense to lock down people who are in their 30s in Iowa.

00:12:53.420 Why would you do that?

00:12:54.640 That's not where people are getting sick and dying.

00:12:57.540 And so I think over time, what the left realized was two things.

00:13:01.320 Number one, it would help them accomplish their goals to keep things locked down.

00:13:05.200 OK, I don't think there's any doubt about that whatsoever.

00:13:08.140 Number two, and probably most importantly, it was going to hurt Donald Trump.

00:13:12.200 And everything comes back to politics eventually when it comes to understanding the motivation

00:13:19.240 of most politicians.

00:13:20.500 And I think that it was just too good of an opportunity for them to really stick it to

00:13:25.060 Donald Trump, whose main talking point going into 2020 was, look at how great the economy

00:13:31.140 is.

00:13:31.600 Right. 0.99

00:13:32.020 And so then they got a chance to kill it. 0.99

00:13:33.840 And they did.

00:13:35.320 They're not going to allow that thing to come back to life right before the election happens.

00:13:39.200 So I think a lot of it was politics, not a conspiracy theory.

00:13:42.340 Right.

00:13:43.020 And I think that we're seeing some of that revealed by Nancy Pelosi when she rejected

00:13:50.020 Donald Trump's offer of a $1.8 trillion relief package that was really a good compromise,

00:13:57.180 at least for Democrats, between Republicans and Democrats.

00:13:59.580 And now it looks like she is going to accept a smaller package, $900 billion.

00:14:04.660 And when she was asked about this, of course, as she does, she got very agitated.

00:14:08.380 Uh, but she said, she said, well, look, we've got, we've got a democratic president now.

00:14:13.640 And so it's, it's a game, it's a game changer.

00:14:16.700 And so it does seem like, okay, she and other politicians who really hated Trump were willing

00:14:24.500 to let Americans suffer for the sake of winning the election.

00:14:29.080 I also wonder with, with these big major powers, um, kind of wanting the bureaucratic status quo,

00:14:37.800 especially in the United States, how much influence those powers, even the World Economic Forum

00:14:44.740 had over this election.

00:14:46.200 I mean, it was very clear that, you know, China, for example, that, and even the WHO, the UN,

00:14:53.080 these kind of just swampy international organizations, that Donald Trump really got in their way,

00:14:57.800 especially when it came to their, uh, their, they're trying to push the climate crisis as

00:15:04.160 this existential threat, him, you know, pulling out of the Paris climate accord.

00:15:08.100 They don't like any of that.

00:15:09.680 Do you think the international powers that be helped influence or drive the outcome of the election at all?

00:15:17.740 Uh, I think, I think to some extent, perhaps, um,

00:15:21.580 not, not, I'm not like, uh, uh, alleging cheating or anything, but just, you know, with funds, with

00:15:27.800 pressure, with whatever, whatever it is.

00:15:31.100 Yeah.

00:15:31.580 I mean, I don't think there's any doubt about it at all that one of the main talking points

00:15:36.180 for Joe Biden going, you know, throughout his campaign was that, you know, the world hates

00:15:42.040 us because of Donald Trump, uh, very similar to what we heard about George W. Bush toward the

00:15:47.000 end of his presidency as well. Uh, the world hates us. America first is not good for the world.

00:15:52.180 We need to be working more. We need more multilateralism, all of those sorts of things.

00:15:56.280 And, and I don't think there's any doubt about it that those, that that was definitely part of the

00:16:00.360 campaign. I also think that John Kerry, who was a big part of, of Joe Biden's campaign and a lot of

00:16:06.720 people who are surrounding, uh, Joe Biden as well. Uh, they're deeply in bed with the world economic

00:16:12.100 forum. Um, they're deeply in bed with all these big international organizations. They work together

00:16:17.040 all the time and there was coordination. I mean, you can, it, that is not a theory. I mean, it's a

00:16:23.100 fact there was coordination. The, the, the most obvious example of it is the build back better

00:16:28.280 slogan that Joe Biden was using everywhere. He was talking about build back better. Everything was

00:16:33.140 the build back better plan, which is a stupid name by the way, but everyone was talking about build 0.98

00:16:37.740 back better, right? Well, build back better is, is a term. Those exact words have been used for 0.97

00:16:43.140 years and years and years by people at the world economic forum, by people at the world bank and

00:16:50.300 other organizations talking about very similar policies. Joe Biden literally copied and pasted

00:16:56.500 the slogan that had been used by these international organizations for many, many years. And then other

00:17:00.700 people like Justin Trudeau, for example, in Canada, um, Boris Johnson in the United kingdom,

00:17:06.700 they all started echoing these same talking points, build back better world economic forum

00:17:11.520 started publishing articles right around the same time. Joe Biden started really promoting

00:17:16.300 this build back better mantra. They started releasing articles with build back better all

00:17:21.720 over the place. I mean, dozens of them. And so there's no doubt about it. There was coordination

00:17:26.520 between these groups. However, with all that said, I think at the end of the day, uh, the reason

00:17:32.140 why, uh, Joe Biden won the election, if he won the election fairly, and I know there's a lot of people

00:17:38.140 who don't believe that that happened, but if he won the election fairly, the reason he won,

00:17:42.220 I think has more to do with, with Donald Trump's personality and his communication skills than it did

00:17:48.300 anything else. I think that was the primary issue. Um, I think, I think Donald Trump would have been

00:17:54.100 maybe one of the most popular presidents ever. If he had just been a little bit better at communicating,

00:18:00.340 stayed off of Twitter a little bit more and had a different approach to people. I think that's

00:18:06.280 what it came down to for a lot of, of middle of the road voters and even some Republicans. Um,

00:18:11.760 I don't know that the world economic forum or any of those people really swayed many voters

00:18:16.400 by working with Joe Biden. I think it, it was more, it was all about Trump. This election was all

00:18:21.160 about Trump for better or worse. But they certainly were, even if only privately, they were certainly

00:18:26.500 in favor of a Joe Biden presidency in the same way that, that China and a lot of corrupt powers

00:18:32.420 are, uh, were in favor of Joe Biden because he does bring us back to a place of quote, normalcy.

00:18:39.020 If normalcy is, you know, a lifelong politician who is as swampy as they come, who is going to fill his

00:18:47.500 administration with people who are as swampy as they come, who are going to advance this kind of

00:18:52.720 agenda, who have no qualms whatsoever with, uh, a great reset that the world economic forum is

00:18:58.840 talking about. What is the, what is the ultimate goal? I know you talked about this in your first

00:19:04.040 answer, but is, is the goal communism is the goal, you know, one world government. That's a lot of times

00:19:10.860 what people talk about is the goal world domination by, by China, or are there people at the top who

00:19:18.000 truly have, at least in their own minds, generous motivations for making what they think will make

00:19:25.720 the world a better place for human beings? Right. So I think anytime you have a, a movement that involves

00:19:33.780 so many different interests with so many different ideas, you're going to have, uh, different motivations

00:19:41.040 within those, within that group, right? This is a massive group. And so some people, so China, for example,

00:19:46.080 you brought up China. I think China absolutely is focused on world domination. I think they've been 0.97

00:19:50.320 focused on world domination for a very, very long time. I think they see that as their destiny and

00:19:55.460 they are somewhat involved in all of this great reset stuff as well. And so I think their motivation

00:20:00.540 is they will do anything they possibly can to knock the United States off the pedestal. They don't want

00:20:05.740 them to be the top dog. They want to be the top dog in the world. They want to set the world policy.

00:20:10.080 And so they'll do anything they can to help undermine that. I think Russia, you know, similar sort of thing.

00:20:15.800 Right. But when you're talking about people, um, like Klaus Schwab at the world economic forum, or you're

00:20:21.360 talking about, uh, John Kerry or Joe Biden or other people who have connections to the great reset, I think

00:20:28.400 that for them, they believe that the world is a much, much better place when the elites of society are

00:20:35.080 controlling society. And over time, what they've learned is what the, what the progressive left has learned.

00:20:41.540 And so the socialist left to some extent as well too, is that you can't just have these progressive

00:20:46.560 policies in the United States and only in the United States, because what happens is people leave the

00:20:53.460 United States, corporations leave, they go someplace else. And Europe has realized this too. Right. And

00:20:59.200 that's why Asia has grown so much over the past 30 or 40 years. Cause the labor was so cheap there. 1.00

00:21:05.620 It was so easy to move overseas. And, and why would I produce my products in the United States with all these

00:21:11.060 regulations and taxes and everything when I can go to China and do it for a lot less money? And so what they

00:21:18.140 realized was we need to do this on a global scale. That's the only way we're going to be able to, to enact these

00:21:24.940 progressive policies and socialist policies in some cases on a global scale. That's the only way we'll be able to

00:21:30.620 control and manipulate everything that's going on. Uh, if we don't have international, if we don't have an

00:21:36.380 international body, international rules, uh, that are enforceable to have some teeth, then there really

00:21:42.280 is no way that we can make all of this work. And so Barack Obama especially started moving us heavily

00:21:49.300 in that direction of, of, of, you know, working with the United nations, working with all these big

00:21:54.880 international institutions to come up with these gigantic international agreements that everyone was

00:21:59.200 supposedly going to go along with the Paris climate agreement being one of the most notable examples

00:22:03.240 of that. Uh, and Donald Trump came in and was essentially a hand grenade in the room and

00:22:09.140 essentially said, no, we're not doing this. We're doing America first. And I don't care what any of

00:22:12.900 you people think. And he became a massive roadblock for this whole effort. And he had to be taken out of

00:22:19.380 the equation. And now that they think that they've got them out of the equation, I think, yeah, it's right

00:22:24.240 back to business as usual. Let's expand these things out. Let's put the elites in charge. 1.00

00:22:29.020 Do the, I do believe they think that by putting all these elites in charge and giving massive, uh,

00:22:35.440 power to the United nations and people who go to the world economic forum meetings and Davos and all

00:22:41.400 of that, that the world will be a better place. I think they genuinely believe that they believe that

00:22:45.840 they should be the ones with the power. Um, and that, you know, the rest of us are all just too

00:22:50.420 stupid to know what's good for us. And so there's a little, there's, there's a little bit of everything 0.99

00:22:54.640 there, right? They get to be super powerful, which is something that humanity has always

00:23:00.480 strived for. There's always been people in society that want to be very powerful. They get to satisfy

00:23:06.800 that urge while at the same time they get to say, I'm saving the world on top of it. Um, and so I, I think

00:23:14.240 there's a, is a little bit of everything in your answer. The only thing I would say this really doesn't

00:23:19.520 have anything to do with of the things that you mentioned was communism. Uh, I don't believe

00:23:23.660 that this is communism. I think that, um, that the AOCs of the world, for example, and the Bernie

00:23:29.560 Sanders of the world would actually not necessarily be in favor of a lot of this stuff because they

00:23:35.000 don't want corporations to have more power. They don't want, um, elites to have more power

00:23:40.720 necessarily. What they want to do is just destroy the entire system, not use it to accomplish

00:23:46.620 leftist goals. They want to break the whole thing down and start all over again and have a true sort

00:23:52.500 of communist revolution. And that's not really what these people want. They want many of the same

00:23:58.560 social programs and stuff, and, and they do want to control society, but they want to do it from the

00:24:03.900 perspective of, of a person who's an elitist, who believes that they're the intelligentsia, that they

00:24:09.800 are the well-educated people of the world, that they should be in control of society. And it's a,

00:24:14.820 it's a more top-down approach than someone like Bernie Sanders would normally be in favor of.

00:24:21.300 Well, at least, at least in theory, I would argue that even though Bernie Sanders and AOC and Ilhan

00:24:26.540 Omar, those people talk like they want to tear it down and they truly just want this equal, you know,

00:24:33.160 socialist, uh, utopian society, they are the elites. They dress like the elites. They spend money like

00:24:40.460 the elites. They live like the elites. Uh, they, you know, uh, their, their, their friends are the

00:24:46.720 elites, especially Ilhan Omar with some of the stuff that's come out about how she's been paying her

00:24:51.220 husband's firm. I mean, these people function like elites while also talking about the importance of

00:24:57.360 equality and everyone having equal outcomes. Same thing with Kamala Harris. She came out with that video 1.00

00:25:03.620 that really was a communistic idea saying that equity means that everyone ends up in the same

00:25:09.740 place. Well, not everyone has ended up in the place of being potentially the vice president elect.

00:25:14.960 So, um, I would argue that even if the world economic forum and this whole great reset doesn't

00:25:20.600 have a goal of communism, I would think that AOC and Bernie Sanders will still go along with it because

00:25:26.940 they might say that they're against elites and this kind of hierarchy, but every socialist since,

00:25:34.140 I mean, you know better than me, but every socialist since the beginning of time has maintained that

00:25:38.040 elite status, even while the plebeians are suffering under their destructive ideas. Wouldn't you agree with 1.00

00:25:43.880 that? Oh, for, oh, for sure. I mean, look, there, there is a, there's a certain set, there's a,

00:25:49.520 there's a little bit of schizophrenia when it comes to the left in general, but especially the 1.00

00:25:54.300 socialist left, uh, they are, they are massive hypocrites. And we've seen this over and over 1.00

00:25:59.220 and over again, people who say that they live their whole lives. In some cases they, they fight

00:26:04.080 revolutions. They kill people over this idea that they want absolute equality, but then when they

00:26:09.200 actually take over, they don't provide absolute equality. They take what's theirs. They stay in power.

00:26:16.040 And ultimately, um, the rest, there is a class system. There's the people who are in charge of the

00:26:22.040 society and then there's everybody else. So I don't think there's any doubt about that at all.

00:26:27.380 Um, I don't know that it's conscious always. And I think they like to believe that they,

00:26:32.280 if they actually had the power, they would do it differently. But you're right when they actually

00:26:36.380 get it, they don't, they don't ever behave that way, which is why Bernie Sanders has three houses.

00:26:41.280 Why does Bernie Sanders have three houses and give no money to charity? It doesn't make any sense.

00:26:45.300 Right. So yeah, I, I totally agree with you on that front. And I would add one more thing too,

00:26:49.940 about that. I mean, there's another motivation here too, even if you were a AOC or Bernie Sanders,

00:26:56.020 and you don't like the idea of, of these big international corporations working with these

00:27:00.460 big international elites and controlling society from a top down way, instead of a grassroots Marxist

00:27:06.100 revolution, uh, strategy, even if you didn't like that, there's, there's a lot in it for you to go

00:27:11.760 along with it because these people are promising all sorts of big socialist government programs on top of

00:27:19.300 the things that AOC and Bernie want, like single payer healthcare, federal jobs guarantee, green new

00:27:24.900 deal. And that's deliberate. The, the elites are doing this on purpose. They want to create this

00:27:30.420 alliance with the hard left. And, uh, even though they're not necessarily in that same camp,

00:27:36.600 they know that if they promise these things, it will help them get the job done. So there is a

00:27:40.860 little bit of an alliance here, even though I think they have, there's some conflicting interests.

00:27:44.640 Right. I think that probably most Democrats and maybe some Republicans too, who are more, um, you

00:27:51.120 know, there are Republicans that are in favor of big business and big government in, in some ways,

00:27:56.640 but I think that probably the Democrats primarily and the Republicans that kind of go along with some

00:28:03.300 of these left-wing policies, they probably don't know that they are a part of this greater, great reset

00:28:11.740 agenda. But when you think about, if you were to break down a lot of what you've said, that people

00:28:17.180 at the top at the world economic forum, these kind of quote global elites to, to borrow a term, um,

00:28:24.200 they want to use chaos to take control. And maybe in, in their minds, they think that control is going

00:28:31.880 to be for the benefit of the entire world. But you can see how there are politicians here in America

00:28:37.940 who create chaos, not just physical chaos, not just chaos that, or economic chaos that comes from

00:28:44.080 lockdowns or physical chaos that comes from these riots and arson and looting, the stuff that has

00:28:50.500 certainly been fanned into flame by some democratic politicians, uh, but also moral chaos. Like there

00:28:57.300 is, um, there is a lot of moral and I would say intellectual chaos that's coming from, for example,

00:29:04.040 academia and even our public school system about, you know, what is a woman, what is a man? Post 0.63

00:29:09.020 modernism has really turned America's youth, uh, their brains to mush in a lot of ways. And so you

00:29:15.880 can kind of see how even maybe unbeknownst to some of the people pushing these chaotic policies,

00:29:21.760 how it is advancing, uh, the agenda of, you know, bureaucrats taking control of all of these

00:29:30.360 different aspects of our lives to push this, you know, left wing social program, big business,

00:29:37.680 big government agenda. Would you agree with that? Or am I putting pieces together that don't really

00:29:42.520 go together? No, I think that's, I think that's exactly right. Uh, going back to what I said before

00:29:48.460 about the schizophrenia of the left, uh, you know, the left is, is really bizarre when you actually

00:29:53.980 start breaking down some of the factions that exist in the left. You've got radical Islamists 0.94

00:29:58.780 in the left with radical feminists. How does that make any sense? Right. Right. How does it make any

00:30:04.220 sense that you've got people who are deathly afraid of climate change, but then other people

00:30:08.300 who want open borders that are going to allow lots of people to come from all over the world where

00:30:12.900 they're not exerting, they're not part of a societies that are producing lots of CO2 emissions

00:30:17.760 come to the United States where they're going to produce on average more CO2 emissions. How is that

00:30:21.900 good for society? Why do you want open borders, but also gun control? How can you have those two 0.99

00:30:27.840 things? They don't even make sense. So there's all sorts of police and also gun control or defunding

00:30:33.640 the police gun control and a reconfiguration of the suburbs. Exactly. I mean, even you, I mean,

00:30:40.160 even, and I know you've talked about this before, but I mean, look at feminism and the transgender

00:30:45.360 movement. I mean, these two things are totally in conflict too, depending on what kind of transgender 0.75

00:30:50.940 situation you're talking about. So there's all sorts of problems when you actually start looking at the

00:30:56.620 pieces of it. But what they all have in common is one thing. And I think that that's what you're

00:31:00.520 touching on here. What they all have in common is they know that the existing system will not allow

00:31:06.680 for them to accomplish whatever it is they're trying to accomplish. And that it has to be torn down.

00:31:12.180 It has to be torn down in order to rebuild it the way they want it. And that rebuilding part is the

00:31:17.900 part where they kind of disagree that what a feminist would say is very different from someone who 0.99

00:31:23.020 is aligned with radical Islamicism. I mean, they're very different ideas for how they want

00:31:27.200 to rebuild society. But the point is they need to destroy the existing society. That's the only way

00:31:33.040 they need to tear down the constitution, tear down this concept of individual liberty. They need to

00:31:38.120 tear down capitalism in order to, in private property rights, in order to accomplish whatever

00:31:43.140 it is their goal is. So really the modern left, at least in the United States and throughout much of

00:31:48.660 Europe, I think this is true too, is an alliance of sorts of people who don't like traditionalism.

00:31:55.440 Yeah, they don't like the system and how they want to rebuild the system is different,

00:31:58.980 but they don't like the system. So creating that chaos is part of that alliance. They can all at

00:32:04.520 least agree on that. And there it's not even necessarily just people who identify themselves on

00:32:10.240 the left. Like, I think this is a very small group of people, but there are, you know, ethno

00:32:15.960 nationalists. They're white nationalists who actually find, they find common cause with a lot

00:32:21.620 of the identity groups on the left. They find common cause with, for example, you know, Antifa

00:32:28.220 or those more radical groups on the left, because they too think that the American system is bad,

00:32:35.060 that it's done a disservice to people, that, you know, they reject conservatism because they say,

00:32:40.080 what is conservatism actually conserved? And so there are, that's that group of people too.

00:32:46.460 It really kind of does span the traditional spectrum of people who just want chaos. And

00:32:54.140 they're, like you said, not all of their goals are shared necessarily their end goals and their end

00:32:59.200 vision, but they all want to destruction. And it's almost like they want to duke it out

00:33:03.600 to see who wins. Whereas people like you and me, I don't know how, you know, big of a share we are

00:33:10.820 of the American populace, probably a pretty big share if you were to get down to it, that are like,

00:33:15.800 no, no, no, no, no. There are really good institutions in place that work that we need to preserve,

00:33:21.240 like the constitution, like, you know, our bill of rights, property rights, even the idea of the rule

00:33:28.700 of law being based on some general idea of biblical law, God being our moral lawgiver and our giver

00:33:35.880 of rights that cannot be arbitrarily taken away by the government. This idea of self-governance,

00:33:42.240 the church is good, religion is good, faith is good, the nuclear family is good. All of these things

00:33:49.880 have acted as bulwarks, as defenses against totalitarianism. And so you can actually see why

00:33:56.800 the people who hate these traditional systems and want chaos and want control and want something new

00:34:01.840 have to tear down things like the family, have to tear down things like the church,

00:34:05.580 have to tear down the things like individual rights and property rights. All of those things

00:34:09.740 are and have been for hundreds of years standing in the way of people who want all the power. Do you

00:34:16.700 agree? Yeah. Yeah. There's no doubt about it. And the way you know that what you're saying is true,

00:34:22.100 the way that we can prove it, is that the left never comes out or they rarely come out and say

00:34:28.180 what they actually want to do. It's always coded in all of this other language that really isn't

00:34:33.860 the truth. It isn't really what they're after. And then they run politicians like Joe Biden who

00:34:39.560 positioned themselves as being so-called moderates when they're not really moderate. Why do they do

00:34:44.480 that? Why doesn't the left just come out and say what they really want? Because they know that's not

00:34:49.280 what most people really want. I think there's even a sizable chunk, maybe even most Democrats

00:34:55.420 don't even want a lot of the things that they're calling for. And so we did a poll a year ago or so

00:35:02.460 where we asked people, likely voters, what they thought of socialism, for example, and a whole

00:35:06.860 bunch of other sort of authoritarian things related to socialism. And the majority of Democrats didn't

00:35:11.940 even support the vast majority of these things. Not even the majority of young Democrats in some cases

00:35:17.120 supported them. So this really is a fringe group within the Democratic Party that's driving the

00:35:22.880 agenda and the narrative. And they're able to do it because they control all these institutions in

00:35:27.900 society like the media, which is super dishonest and not telling people the truth about what this

00:35:33.140 fringe group really wants. Hollywood, the music industry, all of that stuff, their academia,

00:35:39.520 they're all in bed with each other. They're all pushing a much more radical agenda than they're

00:35:43.780 presenting to the public. And then you get people who just watch ABC News every night and all they

00:35:49.100 see are these little snippets of Donald Trump saying something that, you know, is oftentimes taken out

00:35:55.060 of context. It isn't said the best way that he possibly could or he's fighting with people or

00:35:59.760 whatever. And that's what they think politics is. And they're not even paying attention to what

00:36:04.240 many people on the left are trying to do. And we saw this with the Black Lives Matter movement.

00:36:09.300 Maybe this was the best example of it is how often were people on our side of the issue talking about

00:36:16.760 what the Black Lives Matters organizations were calling for and how radical it was? I mean,

00:36:22.120 really radical, extreme ideas. Right. But the media never talked about those things. They kept it to

00:36:29.060 whatever the most basic, simplistic thing it like we want racial equality. Well, yeah, I want racial

00:36:34.700 equality too. I want equal rights under the law. Who's opposed to that? But you don't want to abolish

00:36:40.880 prisons and abolish the police, which is what they were calling for. But you're right. I would say

00:36:49.000 a lot of outlets, a lot of outlets didn't want to say that because they know that criticizing an

00:36:54.980 organization like Black Lives Matter, you're going to be characterized as a racist, which is the worst

00:36:59.560 thing that you can be called. No one wants to be considered a racist. And so it's very clever,

00:37:05.880 these tactics of if you speak out against any part of this chaotic agenda, then it's actually

00:37:11.160 because you're a bigot and you're on the wrong side of history. And it's also interesting how they

00:37:15.920 point to the bombastic nature of Donald Trump, which he is bombastic in a lot of ways. You and I agree on

00:37:20.720 that. And they say this is what an authoritarian looks like. He has an authoritarian personality.

00:37:25.480 Meanwhile, the authoritarian policies are not coming from Donald Trump. The policies that are

00:37:31.300 really going to affect our lives that are more authoritarian in nature are coming mostly from

00:37:37.420 the other side of the aisle. Yeah. I mean, Donald Trump was called a fascist more times by people

00:37:44.820 who actually support fascism than anyone probably in history. It was unbelievable how often he would be

00:37:51.560 labeled a fascist. And then you say, well, what is it exactly that Donald Trump did that,

00:37:56.700 you know, was fascistic? I mean, what did he do that was evident of fascism? And people couldn't

00:38:02.520 even answer the question because the truth is they didn't have any clue why they even believe that he

00:38:07.580 was a fascist. Or they don't know. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead.

00:38:10.760 No, no, no. Then you had people actually calling for fascism to varying degrees without making those

00:38:16.380 same accusations. Right. We're not even realizing that they're they're actually fascist. It's

00:38:21.300 unbelievable. Well, there's certainly been a bait and switch. I realized, you know, when I ask people

00:38:25.840 who like message me on Instagram saying, oh, Donald Trump's a fascist. And I ask them why they 0.95

00:38:30.740 typically send me some kind of unsourced meme or like one sheet or that, I don't know, went around

00:38:36.600 on social media and they found or someone emailed to them or sent to them that, again, doesn't actually

00:38:40.580 have any basis in primary sources. But one of the things that is always sad is like putting your

00:38:47.280 country first, that nationalism is a form of fascism, I guess, because, you know, they see

00:38:55.640 Hitler as being a nationalist. But he wasn't. Hitler was an ethno nationalist. Obviously, he had other 0.73

00:39:02.700 very racist tendencies as well. But I think that that is also a product of American education and a

00:39:09.900 product of Barack Obama's presidency, that the idea of loving your country and putting the interests of

00:39:15.120 your country first is nationalistic, which in turn is evil and fascistic. And obviously, it's not like

00:39:25.080 if you put it on a smaller scale, someone who is the mayor of St. Louis saying, look, I think St.

00:39:32.120 Louis is the best city in the world. And I'm going to put the interest of St. Louis before I'm going to

00:39:38.620 care about the interest of Tulsa because that's not my job. I'm going to take care of the people

00:39:43.740 here. You wouldn't fault that mayor for being a fascist. You wouldn't say that they're crazy. No, 0.95

00:39:48.540 you would say, oh, they love their constituents. They love the people in their city. And yet,

00:39:53.780 because Donald Trump talked about America first and putting America first, I think people have

00:39:58.740 just been conditioned to believe that that is some like Nazi like idea. And that could not be further

00:40:05.780 from the truth. It's pretty crazy. Yeah, it is pretty crazy. And I think you're exactly right.

00:40:10.900 They equate that they create they equate nationalism or a love of your country with racism, with fascism,

00:40:19.660 with all of these things. Now, obviously, fascism, historically speaking, in the 20th century was

00:40:24.940 closely correlated with with nationalism, with ethno nationalism specifically. You're right.

00:40:30.160 There's no doubt about that at all. But they were also socialists, too. Yeah,

00:40:33.780 they were they weren't free market capitalists. They weren't libertarians. I mean, these people

00:40:38.720 were socialists. That's what made the fascism so dangerous is that they were using the power of

00:40:44.380 government to impose their will on everybody's life. That's what made them fascist. And Donald

00:40:49.760 Trump is not has never done that. I mean, the vast majority of his policies, not every policy has been

00:40:55.640 perfect, obviously, but the vast majority of his policies have reduced the size of government,

00:41:00.720 reduced the number of regulations, reduced the control of government in our lives, reduced tax

00:41:06.180 rates, etc. These are not fascistic in any sense of that word. But you're 100 percent right. What

00:41:14.240 the left has done is it's become predominantly a globalist movement. And anyone who is not globalist,

00:41:21.500 anyone who believes that America is a unique place, America is a special place, it's an exceptional

00:41:27.580 place. Or anyone who believes that Canada is a unique place and a special place and an exceptional

00:41:33.400 place or whatever is bad for the world. But the only way that we're ever going to solve all these big

00:41:39.400 challenges we have, especially climate change, that's the big one that they talk about all the time,

00:41:43.640 is if we're all working together. And by working together, they don't mean I freely as you know,

00:41:49.840 America freely decides what we're going to do, or me as an individual freely chooses what to do.

00:41:54.300 They mean work together by imposing their will on everyone who disagrees with them. That's what

00:41:59.980 they mean by that. And there's no doubt about it that that has been a key part of leftist thinking

00:42:05.900 for for a while now. But it's become it's ramped up ever since Barack Obama's become or became

00:42:11.220 president. Right. And I think a lot of us have felt that without actually being able to articulate

00:42:15.360 what's changed, what changed while Barack Obama was president, our country feels really different.

00:42:21.140 It felt really different when Barack Obama left than when he entered with race relations,

00:42:27.320 culturally, socially, politically, how people view America, patriotism dipped. Why is that? And it's,

00:42:34.740 you know, it's kind of come together and come into focus for me just in the last year, looking at this

00:42:41.380 election, a lot of things that were bubbling under the surface, while Barack Obama was president,

00:42:46.640 or the media didn't report on kind of came to blows over the past four years and really over

00:42:52.140 over the past year. I would love for you to talk really quickly about Agenda 2030 and what that has

00:42:59.200 to do with all of this. Right. So so Agenda 2030 is sustained. It's also referred to as sustainable

00:43:06.540 development goals. And what they are essentially are the United Nations produced these goals for what the

00:43:14.140 world should accomplish by XYZ date. They've done this in the past in this particular iteration.

00:43:20.400 It's by 2030. They'll have other agendas in the future where they'll talk about 2040 or 2050 or

00:43:26.300 whatever. And essentially what it is, is it's predominantly leftist goals. It's a lot of wealth

00:43:32.640 equality. It's some of it is stuff that most of us would agree with. Like we want women to be paid

00:43:38.440 fairly and, you know, stuff that's that's not controversial. We want people to have free speech.

00:43:43.000 We don't want religious suppression. But then there's all sorts of leftist goals built into

00:43:47.740 it as well. The way that Agenda 2030 and the sustainable development goals fit into all of

00:43:53.800 this stuff that we're seeing with the Great Reset is that the primary part of the Great Reset that

00:43:59.380 deals specifically with how we're going to change businesses, this thing called ESG standards,

00:44:04.780 environmental, social governance standards. They want to create this whole new system for

00:44:09.700 reevaluating businesses. And that system would give a score, an actual numerical score to businesses

00:44:16.500 based on how good they are at achieving left wing goals, along with how good they are at making money

00:44:22.300 and doing all sorts of other things. Right. That's how they would evaluate these businesses.

00:44:25.100 And a lot of those ESG standards are built around the sustainable development goals. So what they're

00:44:31.080 trying to do is find a way to get businesses on board with sustainable development and sort of coerce

00:44:38.820 them in some cases, force them outright in other cases to become leftist institutions essentially so

00:44:46.300 that all international corporations all over the world are required to become part of the leftist

00:44:53.320 movement through this ESG system that they want to build. And again, there's some disagreement about

00:44:58.900 how they would go about doing it. Right now, there's all sorts of global corporations that have

00:45:03.540 already started using ESG standards. Right. Right. And you can really see the desire to crush small

00:45:12.380 businesses and to kind of transfer that business to, you know, companies like Amazon to big tech to

00:45:20.180 these other major corporations, because if you are betting on or you're depending on compliance for this

00:45:30.840 agenda 2030 to work, then it's much easier to do if you've got a few big major corporations

00:45:36.600 that are aligned in your social and political goals than trying to manage all of these small

00:45:41.480 businesses. And you can see how really they can kind of circumvent the government in this. Like it

00:45:48.380 really it doesn't really matter if you have if we technically have a First Amendment, if we've got

00:45:54.720 these companies that are all in charge that are limiting what we can read, what we can buy,

00:45:59.660 what we can say, who are saying that, you know, we're not going to process gun sales, for example,

00:46:05.360 or like banks, certain banks are doing that. Or if they're saying, you know, we're not going to

00:46:10.560 distribute this kind of book or we're not going to publish this kind of science. We already see some

00:46:15.640 of that happening or you're not going to be able to shop with us if you espouse these kinds of views

00:46:20.540 publicly. It really doesn't matter if you have a First and Second Amendment, if you are not even able to

00:46:25.220 engage in the public sector or in in polite society or you're not able to engage economically,

00:46:30.920 you're basically, you know, economically forced into compliance in the name of the common good.

00:46:38.820 There's a lot of evil done in the name of the common good. And this a lot of this seems seems like

00:46:44.700 seems like that. OK, is there is there anything that you can leave us with? Is there any optimism,

00:46:51.440 any hope in this? Like, can we push back at all and also tell people, you know, where they can find

00:46:58.440 you and follow you and all of that good stuff? Sure. So I think that if we're going to take

00:47:03.400 anything positive away from this at all, it's that the fact that we're having this conversation

00:47:08.680 is a very, very good thing. And then that's the thing that's going to stop this great reset from

00:47:13.680 happening. Every piece of evidence that I've seen polling results, et cetera, show very clearly that

00:47:19.060 most people don't want this, not at least in America. It's just they don't know what it is.

00:47:23.820 They don't they don't even know how to identify it. And if so, if we can talk to each other about

00:47:28.580 it and if your audience can talk to the people that they know about it, then we can stop it

00:47:32.920 because politicians at the end of the day want to win elections more than they want anything else,

00:47:37.520 including the great reset. So if we can just get people to realize that that's the situation and

00:47:42.460 talk to their neighbors and their friends and the old lady on the bus about it, then we can actually

00:47:46.960 stop this just through a public education campaign. And and of course, we're going to have to win

00:47:51.320 some elections in the future, too. But I think that's a big part of it. People who are interested

00:47:55.560 in learning more about my work can find me on social media on basically every platform you can

00:48:00.400 imagine at Justin T. Haskins. And of course, they can go to stopping socialism dot com and the

00:48:05.240 heartland dot org and find all sorts of my material and work from people who are closely

00:48:10.180 alive with me as well. Justin, thank you so much. This has been so enlightening. I would love to have

00:48:15.540 you back on soon because there are a lot more questions that I have for you. And this has been

00:48:21.020 very, very helpful. So thank you so much. Anytime, Allie. Great.

00:48:29.680 Guys, I hope that you enjoyed that conversation. So I didn't have time to to say this in the interview,

00:48:36.120 but I was thinking towards the end there just how important when we're talking about pushing back

00:48:41.300 against a global agenda that a lot of us disagree with, that is talking about threatening and tearing

00:48:48.280 down not just the institutions that we hold dear, but also our individual rights. Things like

00:48:54.320 individual liberty, like the Second Amendment, like the First Amendment really get in the way of this kind

00:49:00.400 of top down control. It gets in the way of this kind of agenda. The family gets in the way of this

00:49:06.640 kind of agenda because if you are receiving your values and your protection and your provision from

00:49:12.920 a small family unit, then you are less likely to depend on the state. And the more state dependents

00:49:18.920 they have, the more government dependents they have, the easier it is for them to get governments and for

00:49:24.520 them to get people to comply, for them to kind of conglomerate all of their power to be able to advance the

00:49:32.160 agendas that they want to advance. That's why conservatism and conserving the family and conserving

00:49:37.900 individual liberty and conserving our constitutional values and the rule of law, faith, religious liberty

00:49:46.420 that allows us to practice our faith freely. That is why we stand as an obstacle to rampant leftism.

00:49:56.040 And Christianity in particular has been a thorn in the side of tyrants since the beginning of our

00:50:04.140 founding, not because we're always political revolutionaries, because we reject the idea that

00:50:10.020 we belong to the state. We reject this idea that a government, either a state government, a national

00:50:15.960 government, or a global government gives us our rights and therefore can arbitrarily take away our

00:50:21.760 rights. That we are ultimately and consistently, moment by moment, beholden to the King of Kings.

00:50:28.400 That doesn't mean that we flout all laws. That doesn't mean that we ignore earthly authorities,

00:50:32.740 knowing that according to Romans 13, they were instituted by God. And we have an obligation,

00:50:37.520 according to God, to submit to them insofar as that doesn't cause us to sin. But whether or not we

00:50:43.720 have a First Amendment, Christians are going to share the gospel. Whether or not we have a First Amendment,

00:50:47.440 we are still going to worship the Lord. Whether or not we have sanctioned familial and parental rights,

00:50:53.900 according to the government, we are still going to form families in accordance to how the Bible tells us

00:51:01.520 to form families. It doesn't matter whether or not we are allowed to be hospitable or whether or not we

00:51:08.920 are allowed to be generous. According to the government, we are going to be hospitable and we are going to be

00:51:13.980 generous to our neighbor because the Lord calls us to do those things. And as long as there are people

00:51:18.820 that are appealing to an authority that is higher than the government, it's going to make these

00:51:23.700 authoritarians very mad. It's going to make the agenda a lot harder. And so our resistance to things

00:51:29.220 like this doesn't necessarily look like protests. It doesn't always necessarily look like calling your

00:51:34.600 senator or your representative, although I think that's very good. We live in a country where we are free

00:51:38.760 to do that still, right now at least, and that's wonderful. But it also just means living your life

00:51:45.820 in what is now considered or what will soon be considered, I think, a radical way. Loving God,

00:51:52.640 loving your neighbor, and loving family. Submitting to God as the ruler and as the authority of the

00:51:59.200 universe, realizing that you are beholden to Him, that you are going to stand before Him one day,

00:52:04.560 that He will one day rule in totality. And that at the end of the day, that is who we must fear and

00:52:13.300 that is who we must follow. And so that looks like living your life moment by moment, even in what seems

00:52:21.180 like the dreary seasons of life or the monotonous moments of your day in submission to Christ and

00:52:32.080 obeying Him in everything you do. As a mom, as a wife, as a friend, as a church member, as an employee,

00:52:40.740 glorifying Christ in everything that we do and submitting to His authority in everything we think,

00:52:46.280 say, and do is the best resistance to tyranny that we can possibly do. That's what Christians have been

00:52:52.240 doing since our founding. And that is how we have been so annoying and agitating to tyrants and dictators

00:52:59.640 for thousands and thousands of years. And may we press on for the glory of Christ. Okay, that's all

00:53:05.800 I've got today. I hope that that at least gave you a little bit of knowledge of what the Great Reset is.

00:53:12.520 I know it's, you know, there's a lot of craziness out there and a lot of confusion out there, and we

00:53:17.760 really just scratched the surface, but I hope it enlightened you a little bit. And I hope to have

00:53:22.520 left you with some equipment and encouragement as we are waiting in this chaotic and crazy world.

00:53:29.640 Okay, have a great rest of your day.
