00:00:00.000
Well, the elites gathered again last week in Davos, Switzerland, to conspire with one another
00:00:06.620
about how to save the world from people like you and me. Of course, they talked about climate
00:00:12.460
change. They talked about how they're going to buy up all the property, how they're basically
00:00:16.160
going to take over all private entities and corporations to, you know, make our lives better.
00:00:22.500
So we've got Justin Haskins here to decode everything that was talked about at Davos
00:00:28.280
last week. He's going to tell us about the World Economic Forum again and what is really going on,
00:00:34.200
the different initiatives that they're talking about, many that they're not talking about,
00:00:38.160
why we should care and what the heck we can do about all of this. If you have not listened to
00:00:43.600
my previous episodes with Justin Haskins, you need to go do that. They are the most popular episodes
00:00:50.340
that I have because he is so interesting and you guys love him so much because he teaches us a lot.
00:00:56.440
So go listen to those. We'll link them in the description of this episode. This episode is

Justin, thanks so much for joining us again. I'm having you on because the world's elites met last year
00:01:23.360
or last week again in Davos. So tell us what went on. Why should we care?
00:01:30.460
Yeah, so many crazy things happen in just such a short period of time. Davos only lasts for around
00:01:36.760
four or five days. And so, but there's so, I mean, there's literally like, I think there was over 200
00:01:42.400
different presentations, tons of crazy, important stuff that's been going on in Davos. And not necessarily
00:01:50.020
the stuff that everybody is talking about. There's a lot of stuff kind of underneath the surface that
00:01:54.540
not necessarily is tied to some crazy quote or some ominous picture or some crazy video or something
00:02:01.620
that I think is really important. Even though maybe on the surface, it seems a little bit boring. It's
00:02:07.200
actually, it's actually not. So Davos this year, like many years that Davos hosts an event,
00:02:14.120
the theme is how do we bring the entire global world together to pursue this one common cause? And
00:02:22.300
that one common cause being giving elites more power to manage life in America and in Europe and
00:02:29.580
elsewhere, using as a sort of justification, a crisis. So a lot of people will remember back from
00:02:37.660
the conversations that we had in 2020 and after 2020 about the great reset campaign, which now nobody
00:02:44.900
in Davos ever talks about. No one ever uses that language anymore for some reason, but the great
00:02:49.140
reset campaign in 2020, when it was, it was, it was focused on the pandemic and how do we build back
00:02:53.800
better from the pandemic and use this as a, a way to create in their minds, positive change.
00:03:00.360
Um, in 2021, they were still kind of building on the pandemic and it was still a lot of great reset
00:03:06.740
type stuff, even if they weren't using that language. Well, in 2022, the focus is back to
00:03:12.260
things that they had done prior to 2020. It's a lot of climate change talk. That's a huge part of it.
00:03:17.720
How do we deal with this existential threat of climate change and use that as a justification
00:03:21.220
to reset the global economy? And, uh, and of course, how do we deal with this fact that you see China
00:03:28.960
and Russia and Iran and other countries around the world, kind of pulling away from the West and
00:03:34.360
going in their own direction? And you have the war in Ukraine and that playing into everything as
00:03:39.200
well. So that's the overarching theme. How do we use those crises to sort of reset the global economy,
00:03:46.900
but the specific programs that they offered throughout this, um, four or five day event,
00:03:54.380
I think we're really telling. It had a lot to do with financial institutions,
00:03:59.060
banks and, um, and, uh, wall street and other big firms and how they can use their power to promote,
00:04:05.760
um, uh, the sort of great reset agenda. Um, and the, the most important one for me
00:04:12.640
was something called the giving to amplify earth action initiative, giving to amplify earth action
00:04:19.500
initiative. Uh, the, the, the acronym for that is Gaia. Okay. And for those who don't necessarily know,
00:04:25.640
Gaia is in Greek mythology, the goddess that sort of personifies the earth. Okay. So there's a lot of
00:04:33.020
really bizarre things that go on in Davos, but Gaia is this massive, massive initiative to, uh, use philanthropy
00:04:43.500
to try to promote certain parts of the great reset agenda, giving the elites more power and control,
00:04:51.020
uh, over society and sort of the further centralization of property ownership and things like that in the
00:04:57.100
hands of big institutions and wealthy investors and that sort of thing. So, um, Gaia is a plan to raise
00:05:06.060
$3 trillion a year, $3 trillion a year. Uh, they already have 45 partnerships with these massive, massive
00:05:15.980
nonprofits, which are all going to help funnel money into this Gaia initiative. Um, so some of the partners
00:05:24.300
include, uh, the, the Bezos earth fund, which is of course related to Jeff Bezos, um, the open society
00:05:31.580
foundations, that's George Soros, uh, the Rockefeller foundation, the United nations foundation. Um,
00:05:37.900
so among many others. So all these organizations are figuring out how they can funnel $3 trillion a
00:05:44.380
year into this initiative to battle climate change, promote renewable energy causes. And the most important
00:05:52.460
part of it is to buy property for conservation. So I think that Gaia is an incredibly important, uh,
00:06:01.020
initiative because $3 trillion a year can actually buy you quite a bit of property. Um, and as we've
00:06:07.660
talked about in the past, uh, elites and Blackstone and Blackrock and others buying up property and
00:06:13.980
managing property is a big part of this whole idea behind the great reset of, you know, you'll own
00:06:20.940
nothing and you'll be happy owning nothing. And if we just manage society and have control of the
00:06:26.540
property, then we'll all be better off for it. Uh, so I think Gaia is really the, a big step in that
00:06:33.020
direction because they clearly have figured out a way to utilize nonprofits and the tax advantages of,
00:06:39.740
of using nonprofits to, to gobble up property and to help push the sort of Biden agenda, um, globally,
00:06:50.620
And what do you say to the people who say, well, this isn't really affecting us or it's not going
00:06:57.740
to affect us imminently. I saw some tweets like that. I think from conservatives when Davos was
00:07:02.940
happening saying, you know what, there are a lot, you know, there are bigger fish to fry. There are
00:07:07.020
things closer to home that are happening. Who cares what a bunch of old geezers say that they want to do.
00:07:12.780
Their dreaming and scheming doesn't really affect us. How do you think this could affect us pretty soon?
00:07:17.500
Yeah. I mean, I don't, I don't think there's any truth to that whatsoever. I think people who say
00:07:23.340
that just really haven't spent the time looking into what's been going on over the past decade,
00:07:29.420
there has been a massive, massive push over the last 10 years and longer to centralize, uh, not only
00:07:38.220
control of property, but the amount of property, the amount of stock, the amount of, of, uh, financial
00:07:44.860
institutions and things like that in the hands of a relatively small group of people. And those
00:07:48.940
people have been using that power to transform society in a way that they see fit alongside
00:07:55.820
sort of left-wing goals, but doesn't necessarily have to be that, but it happens to be a lot of
00:08:00.300
left-wing goals. That's what the great reset movement is all about. It's about pushing the reset
00:08:05.740
button on the global economy. That's their own definition of what the great reset was supposed to
00:08:11.100
be. It's about rewriting social contracts. That's another thing that they say all the time. That's
00:08:16.460
not some conspiracy theory. That's something that they say. And so, um, people say, well, you know,
00:08:23.260
the world economic forum doesn't have any actual power. It's not a governing body of any kind. It's,
00:08:28.780
it's a nonprofit organization essentially. And, and that's true. It's not as though they can pass a law
00:08:35.260
and then throw people in jail or something if they don't follow it. But the power of the world economic
00:08:40.220
forum is in the fact that they can get more than 50 heads of state together in a room, along with
00:08:47.580
the biggest bankers in the world, along with the biggest, uh, wall street firms in the world, along
00:08:54.380
with, uh, a whole bunch of lower level government people and nonprofits and activists. And they can all
00:09:01.260
come up with a sort of unified game plan for how they're going to go about in their minds, making the
00:09:07.580
world a better place. But in our minds, restricting freedom, um, uh, eliminating sort of national
00:09:13.820
sovereignty or limiting the power of national sovereignty, uh, consolidating wealth and power
00:09:19.100
and property in the hands of the few. And that's what this, that's what this guy initially is a perfect
00:09:23.740
example of that. $3 trillion is an incredible amount of money, uh, to give people some sense of,
00:09:30.940
of what that means. If you take all, there was this study that was done in, I think it was 2015
00:09:36.700
or 2016 by the U S government where they analyzed how much the value of all the land in the continental
00:09:44.780
United States was worth. So not the buildings that on the land, but all the land itself. If we,
00:09:50.540
if we could just sell all the land in America, what would be the value of the land and all the
00:09:55.340
land combined in the entire United States, the national parks, everything was about $23 trillion,
00:10:02.540
a little less than $23 trillion. Um, so $23 trillion is less than 10 years of this Gaia initiative.
00:10:11.020
If they actually are able to come up with this $3 trillion a year, all the homes in the United States
00:10:16.460
sold in 2022 combined was just a little over $3 trillion. So 6 million houses for sale that were
00:10:23.580
actually sold. Um, you add up all of the value of those houses at the sale average sales price for them.
00:10:29.740
It was a little over $3 trillion. So $3 trillion a year is enough to buy every single home for sale
00:10:36.380
in the United States. It's enough to buy over several years, all of the land in the United States.
00:10:42.300
Okay. So I'm not saying they're going to do that, but that's the kind of power that $3 trillion a year
00:10:48.300
has. So for people to say, well, you know, this doesn't really matter or this doesn't really affect
00:10:54.540
me. Well, it does affect you because when you want to go buy a home and you can't buy a home because
00:10:59.180
the value has skyrocketed, um, and the, and you don't have trillions of dollars in assets under
00:11:04.380
management like they do, and you're not in bed with all these gigantic banks that are giving loans.
00:11:09.100
Um, then I don't see how you can possibly compete with that is going to affect your life.
00:11:15.100
And not only that, but just, you know, when your landlord is Blackstone or your landlord is someone
00:11:21.740
affiliated with one of these large institutions, and they're the ones setting the rules for what
00:11:26.700
you can do in your home, or the insurance companies are deciding what kind of power source
00:11:31.420
you can have, whether you can use natural gas, or you have to have solar panels on your roof,
00:11:36.060
or, um, you know, banks are deciding that they're not going to give car loans to people who want to
00:11:41.740
buy anything other than an electric car. These are all things that have been talked about at Davos
00:11:45.980
and elsewhere. And there are a whole bunch of social issues and things like that that are tied
00:11:49.500
into it as well. But yeah, I mean, I just don't think people have done enough research to make those kinds of claims.
00:11:59.420
They also seem, people at Davos, the World Economic Forum, they seem kind of, I don't know, surprised,
00:12:13.100
perturbed, certainly, that people like you and me aren't on board with it, and they condemn these
00:12:17.820
actions, um, you know, of, they would call the journalists there like rebel media trying to harass
00:12:24.220
them or things like that. Like, it's almost like they're a little confused as to why there's a negative
00:12:27.900
reaction to them trying to rearrange our lives and take away things, um, that we need. And so here's
00:12:34.620
Klaus Schwab kind of complaining about that a little bit at Davos.
00:12:37.660
We need to overcome the most critical fragmentation. And the most critical fragmentation is between
00:12:47.340
those who take a constructive attitude and those who are just bystanders, observers, and even
00:13:01.260
go into the negative, critical, and confrontational attitude.
00:13:08.060
Okay, so it's hard to understand what he's saying, but the theme of the whole meeting was
00:13:13.100
like, how to basically come together to rearrange society in a fragmented world. And that's kind of
00:13:18.780
what he's talking about there. The different fragments, the people who are going to go along
00:13:21.980
with what we're doing, and then you've got the people who have a confrontational attitude who
00:13:25.180
aren't going to go along with what we're doing. What do you think their plans are for the people
00:13:28.940
who don't want to go along with what they're doing?
00:13:31.820
Yeah. I mean, I think that, uh, I know at some point we're going to talk about disinformation
00:13:37.100
and things like that. I mean, I think that that's a big part of all of this, the sort of Davos
00:13:42.380
response going back to the great reset and even prior to that, but especially with the great reset,
00:13:46.620
because that's when a lot of negative, a lot of negative criticisms, uh, became extremely widespread,
00:13:52.620
especially on the right ideological, right. And, and they, they started, uh, having to explain
00:13:58.060
themselves this really crazy language that they were using. Like I mentioned before, you know,
00:14:02.620
rewriting the social contract and every country in the world must participate from China to the
00:14:09.020
United States. Every industry must be transformed. We need a great reset of the global economy.
00:14:14.380
They would say things like this, and then they would wonder why people are so upset when you're
00:14:19.340
talking about upending the entire social order and you're talking about rewriting social contracts and
00:14:24.220
you're talking about, uh, you know, needing to deal with various kinds of speech that you don't
00:14:29.900
like on social media platforms. You know, why are people so concerned by that? Uh, and their response
00:14:35.180
has generally been, well, the only reason anybody opposes our institutions, having more power,
00:14:41.900
having more influence, having more wealth, uh, because we're really benevolent dictators. I mean,
00:14:47.420
you guys would love us as dictators. Like you would just love it. The reason why anyone opposes
00:14:51.660
it is because you've been told something that's not true. You've been told a lie,
00:14:56.140
you've been fed misinformation. And now a lot of you are spreading this misinformation or
00:15:01.020
disinformation and you're telling you're, you're, you're sort of repeating these lies over and over
00:15:06.060
and over again on social media and elsewhere. Um, you know, you're saying crazy things like,
00:15:11.580
you know, we, we want to control every aspect of your life and you know, that we want to manage
00:15:17.740
everything in society. And that's not true. I know we say things like that, but that's,
00:15:22.060
that's not really what we mean. We, we really are going to do this for your own benefit.
00:15:26.300
And, and so I do, and I do think there is like a savior complex that exists within Davos. Like I
00:15:32.300
actually do think that many of them believe that if they just had more wealth and power and control,
00:15:38.140
the world would be a lot better off. So why are you stupid people getting in the way of this?
00:15:43.900
And I think that that's just kind of a left wing idea that has existed across the course of human
00:15:49.980
civilization. There is always, and really going back way, way, way, I mean, thousands of years,
00:15:55.340
you go back, there's always been a group of people in society who believe that if they just had more
00:16:00.940
power and control, everyone's life would be better. And, and, and then anyone who stands in the way of
00:16:06.940
that is a backwards person who's clinging to their guns and religion. And in the words of
00:16:12.940
Barack Obama and, and just doesn't understand what they're doing. They just don't even understand.
00:16:17.500
Yeah. And I think that that's the attitude of Klaus Schwab and others.
00:16:21.420
I don't think that the thought that maybe we shouldn't have power and wealth and control
00:16:26.620
centralized in the hands of a relatively small group of people of international, you know,
00:16:31.340
who are international elites, that, that, that maybe that's a bad idea. I don't think that crosses
00:16:35.420
their minds at all. I just think it's a matter of how do we convince people? This is a good idea.
00:16:39.580
Right. Well, here's John Kerry talking about that select group of what you're talking about. This is
00:16:45.580
the select group of virtuous people who really get it. And that's why they need to be the ones who are
00:16:52.460
And when you stop and think about it, it's pretty extraordinary that we select group of human
00:17:00.060
beings because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives are able to sit in a room and
00:17:07.500
come together and actually talk about saving the planet. I mean, it's so almost extraterrestrial
00:17:18.460
I mean, that's he's just putting it out there. He really does believe that they are a group of
00:17:25.580
superheroes that have superhuman powers, that they are above the rest of us normal people,
00:17:31.660
terrestrial people, and that they're coming together because of some kind of touchstone of
00:17:35.900
compassion, you know, something they experienced in their life to save the planet. They really think
00:17:42.140
they're going to save the planet. I mean, never mind the fact that a lot of these people have a bigger
00:17:46.620
footprint, if you will, carbon footprint than the vast majority of us because of how much they fly
00:17:51.980
private because of how big their homes are, how much they use. But again, it's that we're dirty
00:17:57.660
and they're not. So it's not even that they see it as hypocrisy. The fact that they fly these
00:18:03.740
private jets, they see it as kind of like just a hierarchy. It's just how it is. They're a special
00:18:08.220
group of people. They get to do what they want to do. The problem is the rest of us.
00:18:11.500
I mean, ultimately, John Kerry and people like John Kerry believe that they have a sort of
00:18:17.660
superhuman like power, as you said earlier, to micromanage society and make decisions for people
00:18:24.780
that, frankly, they're incapable of making on their own, according to his way of thinking.
00:18:29.660
We have quote after quote after quote from people like John Kerry and Klaus Schwab and other people
00:18:35.180
making very similar statements to that. They have this idea that there's this, that they're the expert
00:18:40.620
class. And this idea goes all the way back to the early progressive era in the United States.
00:18:45.580
Really, it goes back thousands of years of across human history. People believing that
00:18:51.820
the experts at the top are well equipped to make decisions and everybody else isn't.
00:18:56.380
And the reasons behind that have changed over the course of time. You know, there were periods of time
00:19:01.180
when sort of established churches were the ones that supposedly had sort of divine powers to make
00:19:08.940
the right decisions. You had periods of time when you had kings who were chosen by God,
00:19:14.380
sort of divine right idea where they were being protected by God in some sort of supernatural way.
00:19:19.980
You had emperors who believed that they were gods. And because they're God, then they're obviously the
00:19:25.740
source of all of this revelation. And the more modern examples of this with John Kerry in the progressive
00:19:31.260
era is it's science, it's mathematics. It's this idea that society has been evolving in sort of this
00:19:37.820
Darwinian way that goes all the way back to the 1800s and early 1900s with people like Woodrow
00:19:43.900
Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt. People who believe, yeah, if we just put the experts in charge of
00:19:48.780
society, everyone will be better off. And you're seeing people like John Kerry make that case. And
00:19:55.100
this Gaia initiative that I was talking about earlier, I mean, that's a huge part of all of this,
00:20:00.300
even though this isn't a government program. It's a public private partnership between government and
00:20:07.180
and nonprofits and corporations and other powerful interests. They're working together.
00:20:12.700
That's the new, that's what the great reset model is all about. It's about how can we work together,
00:20:17.580
elites, all elites, not just people in government, but all elites across the private sector and public
00:20:23.260
sector to manage society in a way that we think would be better. And oh, by the way, we might get really
00:20:28.620
rich off of that, too. And that's sort of this great side benefit. But how can how can we improve
00:20:33.100
society and transform, rewrite the social contract and all of that stuff by working together in the
00:20:40.060
same speech that we were just hearing from John Kerry and another part of that speech? He was because
00:20:46.540
this presentation that he was speaking at was all about this Gaia initiative. And at another part of his
00:20:53.260
speech, he said that the key to battling climate change is philanthropy. And he said it's not the
00:20:59.500
only key. We need governments to put public money into it, too. So that's the public private partnership.
00:21:05.660
But the secret to this partnership is Gaia. And so that's how a lot of these elites are looking at
00:21:11.820
this new program. It's another piece in the puzzle. You've got social credit scores like ESG. We've talked
00:21:18.620
about that before. I'm sure we're going to talk about that again. You've got Gaia and initiatives
00:21:23.500
like that. You've got coordination between the public and private sector. These two powerful
00:21:29.740
institutions working together, all rowing in the same direction. And if they're moving in the same
00:21:33.740
direction, then regular people are going to have to come along with with the with their program,
00:21:39.820
whether they want to or not. Because at the end of the day, if you can't get a bank loan because the
00:21:45.900
bank says you have to act in a certain way or you can't say certain things, you have to drive a
00:21:49.820
certain car or you have to have solar panels on the roof of your house or you can't get insurance
00:21:54.620
because the insurance companies are saying the same thing or, you know, you can't go to your
00:21:59.740
favorite store without having to buy products or get services that are aligned with these goals or
00:22:04.940
you can't watch Netflix or you can't watch a movie at the movie theater because all of those
00:22:09.740
companies are also embedding these values in it. You can't say certain things on social media
00:22:14.780
and you can't go certain places at certain times because, you know, that's going to create
00:22:19.180
problems as well. That's part of this whole smart city initiative that Davos is also promoting.
00:22:23.980
Then obviously you might technically have power, but you don't really in in actuality have control
00:22:30.460
over your life. All of these decisions are being made for you. And that's what Davos is all about.
00:22:35.580
It's how do we get the private sector and the public sector working together to micromanage society?
00:22:44.780
And it's not just that they want to manage society. Like at some level, there has to be a group of people
00:22:59.980
who are making decisions. And yes, we vote and we live in a representative democracy and
00:23:05.420
we believe that that's ideal. But at some level, someone is making decisions without
00:23:09.100
picking up the phone and consulting all of his constituents. So it's not only that these people
00:23:14.700
want to make decisions on behalf of everyone else is that they're wrong. It's that the pretense for
00:23:20.780
the policies that they want to put in place and what they want to force on people is wrong. Their
00:23:25.500
catastrophe that they are trying to use to justify reforming society so that they have more power and
00:23:31.500
we have no power or property is wrong. They're wrong about global warming. Here is Al Gore, who has been
00:23:38.540
chronically wrong about global warming and the climate for a very long time, just doubling down
00:23:45.180
That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs and sucking
00:23:51.500
the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea level
00:23:56.460
and causing these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach 1 billion in this century. Look at the
00:24:02.620
xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees. What about
00:24:09.020
a billion? We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world. We have to act.
00:24:16.060
What in the world is he even talking about? I mean, the oceans are not boiling and there aren't a billion
00:24:21.500
refugees. I saw that the UN predicted in 2005 there'd be 50 million climate refugees by 2010 and we didn't
00:24:28.220
get anywhere close until they scrubbed it from the website. And now he's saying there's going to be a
00:24:31.980
billion and something about xenophobia. I don't even know.
00:24:35.100
Yeah. What's really interesting is when you sort of trace the predictions and the craziness related
00:24:45.740
to climate change, it has progressively gotten crazier and crazier and crazier, even though the
00:24:51.180
predictions that they had made in the past don't come true. So even though they keep getting the
00:24:55.180
predictions wrong, rather than just push out their predictions five, 10 years into the future, which is
00:25:00.780
obviously something that they do. But rather than just do that, they also add to it this more extreme
00:25:07.420
sort of dire language. And that's why you have people legitimately believing that the world is not
00:25:14.060
going to life on Earth is not going to survive a climate catastrophe within the next sort of
00:25:20.540
century. You've got people who are our age saying, I don't know if I want to have kids because if I have
00:25:26.380
kids, I'm contributing to the climate crisis. And I don't know if I even want them living in a world
00:25:30.940
where oceans are boiling and there's a billion climate refugees and all of these crazy things
00:25:36.700
that are happening. And so even though they keep getting the predictions wrong, they continue to add
00:25:43.020
to the craziness of the predictions. That's the whole notion of existential crisis. I mean, every single
00:25:49.180
person who ran for president on the Democratic Party side back in 2020, every single one, so all
00:25:55.900
the different candidates from Kamala Harris and Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders and all these different
00:26:01.020
people, they all said uniformly that climate change is an existential crisis. Existential crisis means
00:26:09.900
that everyone will die. All life on Earth is imperiled by it. And there is no evidence at all to suggest
00:26:15.980
that. Not even the scientists at the United Nations in like the IPCC and other groups that focus on this
00:26:23.180
that have a very dire sort of position on climate that I don't necessarily agree with. Even they would
00:26:29.980
not say that all life on Earth is on the verge of disintegrating or that we're all going to die from this.
00:26:36.700
No one would say that. So why does Al Gore say these things, even though he's been around a long time?
00:26:42.300
He knows his predictions haven't been right. Why does he keep making those predictions? Because
00:26:46.380
he also knows that he's seen the same opinion polling that I've seen. The vast majority of
00:26:52.540
people do not prioritize climate change as an issue and they don't care about it. But climate change is
00:26:58.780
really important for people in Davos and elites in general because it is the perfect justification.
00:27:05.660
If they can convince enough people to believe that it's a potential catastrophe for all life,
00:27:10.220
it's a perfect justification for doing almost anything that you could possibly want.
00:27:15.900
Because if the alternative is everybody dies, then freedom doesn't matter anymore. Right?
00:27:24.060
Right. Same thing with COVID. And the difference between COVID and climate change is more people
00:27:29.980
believe that COVID was an existential threat. Not a lot of people believe that about climate change.
00:27:35.900
That's why when they poll people and they say, do you think climate change is going to pose a
00:27:41.500
significant threat to the world or whatever? Even the people who say yes, when they then ask them,
00:27:45.820
well, how much money per month would you be willing to spend extra money in order to stop it? A lot
00:27:51.820
of people won't even spend like 10 or $15 a month to do it. So if you really believe that's an
00:27:57.180
existential threat, you wouldn't, you wouldn't say that. So the rhetoric has to keep going up.
00:28:02.620
Yeah. You have to keep ratcheting that up because at some point in time, uh, you either got to abandon
00:28:07.740
this strategy or you've got to get people to a point where they say, oh my God, like a billion
00:28:12.380
refugees. If people actually believed that, then yeah, of course there would be massive sweeping
00:28:19.900
reforms and, and they would be willing to give away all of their freedoms to avoid a billion
00:28:25.580
refugees. Yeah. That's, that's what would happen. It's just, nobody actually believes it. So they're
00:28:30.860
going to keep spreading this idea, even though it's not based on any evidence whatsoever,
00:28:35.900
there's no empirical evidence. Like you said, that the, the oceans are on the verge of boiling
00:28:40.620
or that at one point, uh, in that same speech, he said that the, the amount of heat that's being
00:28:45.820
trapped in the atmosphere is like 600 Hiroshima bombs going off, you know, this kind of just insane
00:28:52.220
language. Um, they're going to keep upping the ante until we get to a point where enough
00:28:57.580
younger people, especially, uh, who come a voting age believe, yeah, you know what,
00:29:03.180
we're all going to die if we don't do something. And then at that point, all bets are off.
00:29:07.660
Yeah. And while we might look at that strategy and say, well, I don't, you know, it doesn't seem
00:29:11.820
to be working. When you look at polling data from different parts of the world, it shows pretty
00:29:17.900
clearly that, uh, in certain areas of the world, they really do believe this younger people, especially
00:29:23.660
and more and more younger people in America are believing it. And so that really is the plan.
00:29:29.020
This is a longterm, we're going to play 10, 20 years into the future, keep upping the ante.
00:29:34.860
And eventually we hope that we can get a majority of younger people to believe this and then
00:29:39.660
give us everything we've always wanted. Anyway, it just so happens that this existential crisis
00:29:45.100
fits right into what we needed. But does it really matter if they have enough people to believe
00:29:50.220
them? They're going to do it anyway. So is there anything, I mean, I ask you this every time,
00:29:55.340
but is there anything like we can do? I know we talk about it. They don't like to be exposed and
00:30:00.220
all of that stuff, but it, I mean, I know voting in your local election and in your national elections
00:30:06.540
actually do matter if you have enough people who represent you in the United States who are not
00:30:10.860
going along with this agenda that can at least be a hedge against their totalitarian power. But
00:30:17.420
I mean, what else, what else can we do? Because it's easy to just get blackpilled by BlackRock
00:30:23.020
and think that there's, you know, we're just totally powerless to change the future for the better.
00:30:28.380
Yeah. I think that's, I think that's such an important point. So I do think that there are
00:30:32.780
a lot of things that can be done. I think that at the core though, I acknowledge that it's not going
00:30:40.460
to be easy. And I think fundamentally where we're at in society is we need, even on the right, we need
00:30:47.980
a fundamental complete shift in the way that we think about things. Not just in terms of policy and
00:30:55.740
things like that, but just in the way we think about life, in the way we think about how we live our
00:31:00.140
lives, in the way we think about what matters to us and what doesn't matter to us. All the old sort of,
00:31:06.620
a lot of the old sacred cows of the past kind of need to be slaughtered. We need to move on from
00:31:11.180
that. And by that, what I mean is, for one, conservatives had for a very long time sort of
00:31:19.740
just taken a back seat and they focused on their public policy and what's going on in the world and
00:31:26.620
being sort of activists and things like that. And they've said, you know, I've got a job and I've got
00:31:32.700
kids and, you know, I've got a recital I got to go to on Saturday and I've got to work 40 hours.
00:31:39.660
They've got some big presentation I got to work on. And they've been focused on their own life,
00:31:45.660
which I totally understand. I completely get it. And they've allowed all of the institutions around
00:31:52.060
them, all of them, every institution we have from media to schools and K through 12 schools,
00:31:58.940
colleges, various government agencies, nonprofit institutions, churches, all these things have
00:32:05.980
been taken over by people who do not share their values. And rather than getting involved and pushing
00:32:12.700
back against that, what conservatives have a tendency to do is if they don't like what they're seeing in
00:32:18.220
an institution, they often leave the institution and either give up entirely on whatever that is,
00:32:24.860
or they go find some other institution that or start a new institution that sort of aligns with
00:32:29.500
their values. But that's never how the left deals with anything. The way that they operate is they keep
00:32:37.660
hammering away, they join an institution, even if it doesn't, they don't agree with it. They keep
00:32:42.060
hammering away at it until they get, they transform it into something that they want. And it becomes a tool
00:32:47.420
for furthering their own agendas. And I think it's time that conservatives recognize that at every level,
00:32:54.060
whether it's the workplace that you have the corporation you work at, it's the, um, the,
00:32:59.340
the sort of the PTA down the street, right. And, and getting involved in your local public schools,
00:33:04.780
um, thinking about local businesses a little bit more carefully and where you shop and where you buy
00:33:09.580
the, we need to start thinking like activists and less like people who are just too busy to deal with
00:33:16.940
all of that stuff. And I, and I, and I totally get it and sympathize with that. I really do. I struggle
00:33:22.700
with this all the time. I'm a very busy person and it's hard to be involved in all this stuff locally,
00:33:27.980
but honestly, the, the only chance we have is to build local communities that, that are in line with
00:33:36.380
our values and to protect the institutions within them. And if they're not, um, from outside influences,
00:33:43.660
and if they're not doing the things that we believe to transform them so that they are promoting the
00:33:48.700
things that we believe because conservatives have lots of power and lots of money and they,
00:33:54.140
and lots of knowledge and, and, but they're not utilizing it in the same way that people on the
00:33:59.100
left are. So I think everything needs to change in the way we think about our lives and what, what
00:34:05.820
matters to us because it really isn't just about, well, I want to make sure the PTA is, you know,
00:34:12.140
doing the right things, or I want to make sure the school board has the right sort of people on it.
00:34:16.780
Or I want, this is about what your kids believe. This is about what the country looks like in 10 or
00:34:22.460
20 years when, you know, the younger people have more power than they have today. This is about making
00:34:28.860
sure your church does not become a place that's basically just like a left-wing activist organization.
00:34:35.500
I mean, it's, it's about, we're losing our entire society and way of life. And if we're not willing
00:34:42.140
to fight for that, the way the left is willing to fight to transform it, then we sort of deserve to
00:34:47.900
lose, you know? And so I think we need to become more activists and, and that touches a whole bunch
00:34:54.220
of different issues. But the way that these elites see things, there's no doubt about it whatsoever.
00:35:00.220
One of the greatest benefits to having this public private partnership is that they believe
00:35:06.940
that they can, they can promote these changes and enact these changes in a way that is sort of
00:35:15.020
outside the political sphere. And they've largely been able to do that by getting these people on
00:35:21.660
board and giving them, funneling lots of money to them through central banks and the financial system
00:35:27.340
and wall streets and the fed printing money and all of that stuff. They've been very successful
00:35:31.660
at doing that, but they, they believe that that's their salvation. And so I think what conservatives
00:35:37.500
need to do is we need to start rethinking the role of government and these big gigantic private
00:35:44.540
corporations. And a lot of people don't want to hear that, but I, but I do think that that's something
00:35:49.420
that we need to do. And by that, I don't mean we should have government, you know, micromanage
00:35:54.620
corporations or anything like that. But I think that if you're a corporation in the United States,
00:36:00.140
especially a large one, and you have taken massive bailouts from taxpayers and you are given special
00:36:07.660
tax advantages and you have special regulatory advantages and you have special legal protections
00:36:13.740
that prevent you from being liable for various things that happen and other things like social media
00:36:20.460
companies and others. And you're getting all these special protections from the public.
00:36:25.820
I don't know why you should be allowed to create policies that discriminate against the people
00:36:31.820
that are providing you with all of those benefits. I don't understand that. And I, and I get that a lot
00:36:37.660
of conservatives are very, you know, nervous when we start talking about regulations and all of that.
00:36:42.060
And I get that. But I think what I think it's completely legitimate to say that a gigantic public
00:36:49.260
corporation that's getting all those benefits from taxpayers should exist to serve taxpayers and that
00:36:56.300
all taxpayers and that they should, uh, uh, their policies should be made with business decisions in
00:37:04.220
mind. Yes. And supply and demand and all of that, but that they shouldn't be able to discriminate
00:37:08.620
against people based on politics or ideology or religious views or a whole bunch of other things.
00:37:15.180
And right now that's what's happening. We're seeing that get worse and worse and worse. And so I do think
00:37:20.620
there needs to be legal protections in place that make it so that your bank can't say, oh, well, we saw
00:37:26.460
on social media that, you know, you, uh, are a Republican or you're a gun owner or that you have a gun shop
00:37:35.020
or that, uh, uh, you know, you're driving a car that isn't an electric car. Your business doesn't
00:37:39.260
have enough electric vehicles and it's fleet or whatever. Therefore we're not going to do business
00:37:43.660
with you because in my mind, that kind of discrimination mixed with the coordination
00:37:49.500
that's going on with government is the essence of tyranny and, and, and fascism and all of these
00:37:56.540
things that we're really afraid of. It isn't just going to come from government. It's going to come from
00:38:01.980
this mixture of government and private institutions working together. And if we're not willing to take
00:38:07.900
that seriously and step into that realm and say, okay, well, if you're going to be a public corporation
00:38:12.380
and get all these benefits and get bailouts and take COVID money and everything else, then you have to
00:38:17.900
be open for everybody. You can't discriminate. Uh, if we're not willing to do that, then yeah,
00:38:22.540
we're probably going to lose at the end of the day.
00:38:35.900
Wow. Those are really good points, but also gives you a little bit of hope because,
00:38:39.260
okay, there are things that we can be doing and thinking about. Um, as always, I wish that we had
00:38:43.660
more time. We have to cut it a little short today. We'll have you back into a part two,
00:38:47.500
because our outline is a lot longer than everything that we were able to get to. But
00:38:51.260
here is, I just want your reaction to one final video. I want you to kind of,
00:38:55.900
I have no idea what this person is trying to communicate. And because you are our interpreter,
00:39:00.540
I want you to help us just understand just succinctly, like how this particular
00:39:07.740
thing, a suggestion is going to impact us day to day.
00:39:29.020
Yeah. Well, well, you know, I wish I had an answer, but unfortunately I've got it. But the
00:39:35.340
good news is that I've got a team of interpreters on it right now. They're working on it night and
00:39:39.020
day. It's top priority over here at the Heartland Institute, but we just haven't come up with an answer
00:39:43.820
yet. So, uh, we're working on it, but we think it might be some kind of ancient language. Maybe it's
00:39:48.860
that extraterrestrial thing that John Kerry was talking about. I'm not really sure,
00:39:52.780
but, uh, when I get an answer, I promise you will be the first person that finds out.
00:39:56.780
Okay. Thank you. This is going to keep me up at night. Well, Justin, thank you so much. Thanks for
00:40:00.620
paying attention to this. So not everyone else has to, or at least as closely as you,
00:40:05.980
they can just pay attention to you and hear your analysis of it. Um, I'm very thankful. I appreciate
00:40:10.940
you taking the time to come on and tell us what the world's elites are up to.
00:40:15.180
Of course. Anytime, Allie. And people can find you on Twitter, Instagram, all that good stuff.
00:40:21.260
And then tell us your website again. StoppingSocialism.com.
00:40:25.420
StoppingSocialism.com. Sounds good. Thanks so much, Justin. Thank you.
