Hey, great podcast today.

We have Andrew Cuomo's new poll numbers.

They're 38% of the public now thinks he's doing a great job.

It's basically half of his approval during the media glorification of the show.

Not enough people read his book.

Not enough people read his book.

We also have Justin Haskins joining us because we have a very important show tonight at 9 o'clock.

That's Wednesday night special, 9 p.m.

live on Blaze TV, and it goes into the Great Reset.

And

Stu asked Justin to dumb it down just a little bit

because,

you know, it's hard to understand.

Dumb it down for the Andrew Cuomos of the world that might be listening.

You can never get that low.

I still don't die.

Get it.

But if you're a hot chick,

chicky booze can keep my attention.

We should point out, we just learned Justin Haskins, owner of a AndrewCuomoisAwful.com, mugged.

Proud owner.

Proud owner.

You don't want to miss today's podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blindbeck program.

Texas should be ashamed of itself, quite honestly, the way it has handled COVID.

You know, Governor Abbott had the chance to be, you know, Christy Noome or

DeSantis.

And,

you know, this is everybody's take around here.

I don't, I don't understand.

Because we're Texans.

But like, you haven't fully embraced the Texas space.

I freaking love Texas, and I never want to leave it, frankly.

So I, I, I, you're, but, like, I guess

understanding the criticism, I think it's mainly just mask mandate as opposed to no mask mandate, right?

Like, that's the, that's the, seems to be the crux of this completely, which, again, I agree, I agree with the criticism.

It seems to make no sense or difference, frankly.

I mean, I was in Florida where there's no mask mandate, and it was exactly the same as life here.

Right.

Exactly the same.

Exactly right.

But like, pragmatically, no, no, no.

Did not affect life that much.

Exactly right.

So I agree with you.

They shouldn't have had the mandate.

You make the choice.

Correct.

What, what, yeah, what happened yesterday that really hacked me off

is, and we'll play the audio later on in the program.

Let me know when you get this clip.

We've got the whole thing, except this one part that was just like

nuclear explosion in my head.

And that was Texans now are

they're prepared to be able to deal with this on their own.

Yeah, I think that is on what was on the show on Show.

You have that?

Students America last night.

That clip was pulled for Studo's America last night.

We can pull that one.

But yeah, no,

you've got it here.

I hear a play.

Last March,

most Texans had no clue about the precautions needed to avoid COVID.

Now,

Texans have mastered the daily habits to avoid getting COVID.

Oh, that's

big brother.

You would not say, first of all, that Texans would be any different than the rest of the country.

In the beginning of this, of course, no one knew what they were doing.

All you have to do is ask.

All you have to do is explain and then say, you should do this.

We would have.

And we should, frankly, note that many of the scientists didn't yet know.

all the things we were supposed to be doing.

Right.

So

like, yeah, because at the part, he also went on to say basically, like we are now at the point where the state mandate is no longer needed.

And that hit me as well as like, come on, the state mandate was never needed.

But I don't think it had much of an effect.

I mean, I don't think it Texans did what they did.

And, you know, Texans still, here's the difference.

Here's the difference.

Talking to a friend last night that just had like a family reunion and they all got together.

Some of them were from New York, some of them for from California and some of them from Texas.

And they all all got together and they said that the people from California were almost

they were socially backwards.

Yeah,

they

couldn't function around people.

And it was weird.

It was like it was like when they opened up restaurants in May here.

I remember going out the first time and it was weird.

It felt weird walking into a restaurant with other people eating indoors in May of 2020.

Now it's March of 2021.

It no longer feels weird at all.

I do it all the time.

We've been doing it for a long time here in Texas.

But, like, you're right.

These places that have been shut down, they've lost the ability to lost the ability to act.

Right.

And there are two nations now: those who are absolutely afraid, terrified, don't know how to interact with people, and those who are like, dude, it's okay.

It's okay.

Put on your mask.

I mean, it is, it's the tale of two countries.

It's weird.

And this would be my argument, I think,

in favor of Greg Abbott.

And again, I don't think he's handled this perfectly.

I don't think anybody has, frankly.

But like.

DeSantis has done a pretty good job.

A pretty good job.

Yeah, I think DeSantis has done a pretty good job.

But really, the difference between DeSantis and Abbott is the state mask mandate.

And again, I was in both states, and there's no difference in life.

But it's not that.

It's just

trust the people to do the right thing.

I think the difference is basically mass became this dumb cultural divider.

Yes.

And it will never be anything other than that.

So that's why people are affected by it.

But just to step back for a second, you just described two nations, right?

Two nations, one where people are freaked out to go outside.

They're all Karens and living in their Karen lives.

And a freedom country, right, where people are much more free.

You definitely put Texas in that category.

You can't put it in the

Karen category.

I just am upset that Texas should lead the way.

Texas is Texas.

Yeah.

Texas should lead the way on freedom.

And you'd say that they did not.

And I think that that's probably, it's fair.

They're one of the earliest ones reopening.

I mean, but they are not as, they did not go.

They were one of the first states to open up restaurants.

They were one of the first states to open up businesses to 50 and 75%.

And now they're one of the first states to make a big announcement about 100%.

Now, you could fairly say places like South Dakota and even places like Georgia and Florida have been, they had less restrictions or removed them earlier.

And I think that's true.

And I think there's a lot of political calculation behind the big splashy announcement from Texas yesterday.

I mean, it's not, oh,

there's a lot in there.

But again, like, there are places.

It's hard to understand.

I don't think it had anything to do with the mess up of the state with the

electricity.

I'd say there's a dash of, holy crap, the whole power outage.

We were four minutes away from losing power for months in Texas.

There's a dash of that.

And there's a dash of, isn't 2022 and 2024, aren't they both around the corner?

They're all coming up, right?

Right.

There's a little bit of that in there.

But again, you know,

leaning toward freedom is an important thing.

I would quibble with many of the details as the way, not only the way Texas handled it, but Florida as well.

There's parts of Florida's reaction I didn't like either.

But like, I think, you know, leaning towards freedom and leaning towards lockdown, it's a massive damn difference in people's lives.

And the biggest one, you probably see it with schools where, you know, these kids are now going for a full year in New York and California of not going to school where, you know, my kid was in school full time, in person, August 13th, and they have had zero days off for COVID since, with the exception of when we actually got it.

So we should point that out.

We did quarantine for a week or so there.

But I mean,

school hasn't been canceled since it started.

That is not the experience of most of the nation.

And I do think it is important to understand that.

Well,

whatever.

I just come back.

Yeah, thank you.

I mean, I just, it's all blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It's a lot to me.

Because

it is,

you ask people to do the right thing and say, look, this is what you need to do.

And then they do it.

Yeah.

And if they don't do it they don't do it

it is in a free country well i can't say we're a free country anymore we're now banning books we're we banned dr seus

it's true uh uh

so to me it's it's like this idea of like a speed limit right the speed limit functionally exists right

And people actually do get fined for that.

I don't think anyone, I think literally zero people in the entire state of Texas were fined at the state level for the mask mandate.

I could be wrong on that, but I believe the number is zero.

I don't think they enforced it at all.

I think it was just words.

And so in a way, like you think of like a speed limit where like no one pays attention to it, everyone goes by it, but they don't triple it.

Right.

I think that's the idea of the mask mandate.

Again, you walk around these stores all the time in Texas and, you know, it's a lot higher in mask mandate, mask usage than, I mean, really, the split isn't that wide.

But like, if you go New York, it's going to be 100% in every place you go into.

Here, it's like maybe 80, right?

But still, you go to Florida, it's like 75.

Yeah, I mean,

if companies want to continue the mask mandate, they can do that.

And they will.

Toyota says they're not going to do it.

Fine.

That's fine.

It's going to keep going.

You know, everybody has a right to do what they feel is the right thing.

You own a company.

I will tell you, I own the Mercury Studios.

And Mercury Studios open for business next Wednesday.

When the state lifts the mandate,

then I am opening for business.

And I'm only doing that because I have tenants in the building.

And some tenants are very, very freaked out.

Some tenants are not freaked out.

Some people in each company is freaked out.

Some people are not.

You never know.

No, no.

And I, so I am going by the legal standard because I'm not going to get sued for it.

So I want to be a good landlord and I'm not going to get sued for it.

So if people were freaked out, that's totally fine.

I completely understand that.

But the mandate is over and I'm opening the freaking doors.

You know, we don't have oompa loompas here.

The chocolate factory needs to open up again.

I think a family of them did move back in that corner.

I saw something going on.

It smells like chocolate.

I don't know what's going on.

There is that possibility, yes.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, is joining us now.

Matt, this has been one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen.

And

while it's laughable,

It is extraordinarily dangerous of what happened to CPAC this weekend.

Yeah, Glenn, thanks for having me on.

And thanks for using your immense gifts to try to figure out the story here.

Because,

you know, we CPAC is an amazing thing to put on.

Someone just told me that if we had been an advertiser in the Super Bowl, we would have been number two

because it just gets so much attention, but it gets good attention and bad attention, right?

It's a conference, unlike anything on the globe where conservatives come together.

Liberals don't have anything like it except for the daily news

television.

And so what they do is they try to do everything possible to just, you know, slime us, to stop us, to distract us.

And every time we walk into this, we say anything could come our way.

We have to be open and ready.

But in my wildest dreams, I never thought this would come our way.

So here's what happened.

Yesterday, Stu said to me, Is there a 1% chance that somebody somebody intentionally sabotaged CPAC?

And I thought to myself, yeah, there's a 1% chance.

Let's see who designed the stage.

Well, in our research, we found that Design Foundry designed your stage.

And I contacted you.

Is that who designed your stage?

They've been partners for how long?

Several years, and they do, you know, what is excellent work.

And they work for a lot of companies and liberal organizations.

And, you know, they're a group of talented artists.

So we sent them an email, tried to contact them, and then we sent them an email yesterday afternoon, early in the afternoon, and said, can you please explain the design process

for the claim that

some people claim that it was intentionally designed with Nazi symbolism in mind?

Was that an unfortunate coincidence?

Or did a rogue employee from Design Foundry throw the designs?

Some have speculated that it's possible that someone at Design Foundry was intentionally trying to sabotage the CPAC reputation.

We, however, would like to give both your company and CPAC the benefit of the doubt, as we believe most Americans are not even familiar with this obscure Nazi symbolism.

If this is an unfortunate coincidence, we'd like to hear from you directly.

We're going to report on a provided statement from you or Design Factory at large for Glenn's radio program tomorrow.

You have a 7 a.m.

Eastern deadline.

They did last night issue this statement to us.

They said,

We were retained by the American Conservative Union Foundation to design the stage for this year's CPAC conference as part of our working agreement.

The client provided our team with feedback, revisions, and final approval on all aspects of deliverables outlined in the contract, including stage design.

The approved stage design was intended to provide the best use of space given the constraints of the ballroom and social distancing requirements.

The iterative design process included review and input from CPAC, the hosting event space, other vendors, and county officials.

We had no idea that the design resembled any symbol, nor was there any intention to create something that did.

We are saddened and horrified at the accusations that this was a deliberate act.

Design Foundry denounces all hate speech and acts of racism, prejudice, or bigotry in all forms.

The evolution of the stage design renderings can be found here with relevant timestamps.

So they provided a Google Drive of all of the renderings.

How did this come down?

Did you guys at any point say, well, that's not quite Nazi enough?

Or how did this happen?

No,

within the documents, it says that they actually retain ownership of the design.

It's 100%

their design.

Now, of course, it's collaborative because we're paying the bills and the stage has to work well.

I mean, one of the things we've done, and Glenn, you've been on that stage so many times, is to try to demystify the stage, bring it to the people, that people sit around the stage and not make it so formalized.

And just because of the way this room was, this design was the best one that this company came up with.

I mean, we're not artists.

We're other things, right?

We have other talents.

And

so, you know, I understand the reason why everyone's so quiet, Glenn, is because one of the things that cancel culture does does is they slime you with an unjust charge or name, and everybody runs for the tall grass.

Everybody runs for the tall grass.

Well, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Before you go there, let me ask you.

This is a partner of many years of yours.

If I did something on stage and I was a partner with you and you had asked me to do work for you, I would immediately step to the...

You wouldn't even have to call me.

I would say, no, no, no, that's on us.

We did it, and that was not the intention um

but i would expect that you would call

why didn't you call design foundry right away and say hey this is your design make a statement not only did not only did we not call them right away they were i believe right there because they helped with every aspect of the stage i believe there was somebody either on site or you know in constant communication so um uh you know the it was those conversations happened immediately.

Like, what is this?

You know, my last name is Schlapp.

I've never heard of this Nazi sign.

I mean, this really hit me as a complete surprise.

We have a young man working for us who studied anti-Semitism in college.

And he was like, I don't understand what they're saying the symbol is.

So it's not like it was a well-recognized thing.

Now, is it possible that somebody

in this process was

trying to be very clever and set us up from from a PR standpoint.

You know, I guess we'll learn more as the days go by.

So, but wait,

you did say, hey, what's the deal?

And did you ask them to come out?

Because it wasn't until last night that they came out and said.

Of course you did.

Of course we did.

So why would a good partner

with all of our partners do?

Why would a good partner do that to you?

Because,

well, first of all,

as I said, everybody runs for the tall grass, right?

Maybe people don't have courage.

Maybe people don't have integrity.

You know, that's clearly a part of this, where both the Hyatt and this firm looked to CPAC and said, look, hands off, we have nothing to do with this stage.

That's outrageous.

This whole process takes months.

Glenn, you do these huge productions.

This whole process takes months.

You go back and forth and back and forth.

You have to hire all the talent because we can't miss our deadlines because thousands of people and all the press is going to be there assembled.

Everybody saw this.

Everybody to figure out how to construct this.

Everybody had eyes on it from every angle.

Nobody in that process ever raised their hand and said, oh, you know,

I took a European history class and I noticed dot dot dot nobody because it wasn't something that somebody would recognize.

No.

I know.

No, it's a rape.

So it's so shocking.

Tell me, I was very disappointed with the Hyatt.

The Hyatt first defended you.

Did the Hyatt know that this stage

was not of your doing, but of this design firm's doing?

Yes, because the design firm, the hotel, and CPAC work collaboratively to be able to construct it.

You have to actually construct the thing.

And the hotel has to agree with who's going to do that work.

Everyone has to understand it's got to meet a certain bid.

So what our two partners did to us is basically,

you know, point the other way and say, I'm not sure what this is, but go talk to CPAC.

Now, we're fine with taking the hits.

We always take the hits.

It's part of being a prominent conservative group.

You're going to take the hits, but we're not going to let people lie.

And we're not going to let people, you know, the underlying, the most important thing here, Glenn, is would we somehow think it'd be amusing or funny to have anything associated with fascism or Nazism associated with the conference?

And of course, the conference does exactly the opposite.

So if we want to make,

if we want to expel bigotry from our society, including anti-Semitism,

we do just the opposite at that conference to being anti-Semitic.

But they don't care about that.

They wanted to catch us

in this.

You know that I have a good relationship with

the state of Israel and Jewish organizations.

You

provide

service for Jewish organizations.

There's a big conservative Jewish organization that every time I'm at CPAC, I attend on the Sabbath.

I go and I speak to them.

Yes.

And it's a big deal.

What kind of anti-Semites would have a Shabbat dinner?

For the love of Pete?

It's ridiculous.

This is the best of the Glenbeck program.

Justin Haskins is is with us.

He's the editorial director of the Heartland Institute,

editor-in-chief of stoppingsocialism.com

and the co-author of a brand new book that will be coming out on the Great Reset.

And this has been a hard book to get our arms around because

it's so massive, and we're finding new things every single day.

Yeah.

Well, that last point, I mean,

every day, every day something new is happening.

This is, and I think what we're learning as we do more research into the great, which is groundbreaking stuff.

I mean, what we're doing on this, nobody else is doing this.

Nobody is, this has been going on for a long, long time.

Long time.

Yeah.

And we're now starting to see and uncover things from years ago that even people like you were missing.

I know.

The Paris Accords.

We're going to show something tonight on TV.

We'll show you footage I saw back then.

I never put any of it together.

And it's John Kerry, the Paris Accords, and

what really happened, why the Paris Accords were so important.

It has very little, if anything, to do with climate change.

It has everything to do with control and finance.

That's exactly right.

And the thing about the Paris Climate Agreement, I remember even at the time, it was sort of like, well, wait a minute.

Does this thing have any teeth at all?

Like, what is this thing?

It's not even ratified by the Senate.

I mean, does it even really matter?

It mattered so much more than I ever thought because of all of the other things related to banking and financials.

Just give a couple of highlights of what we're going to hit tonight.

Well, what we're going to see beyond any doubt, and I've seen the notes for tonight's show, absolutely incredible.

You cannot miss this episode tonight.

It is absolutely incredible stuff.

But what we're going to see is that for years now, the groundwork has been laid in banking and finance to impose a transition to green energy as part of this massive multi-billion,

multi-trillion dollar

con, this gigantic con, where all of these people, all these global players are going to get filthy rich and the regular person is going to end up getting screwed, all in the name of saving the earth from this supposedly existential climate change crisis.

I want you to understand that the Great Reset is broken up into three parts: E, environment, S, social justice, G, government regulations.

And you'll get an ESG score, and that's already happened.

We'll explain all of this tonight, but it is

a way to shut you down if you're politically incorrect.

As you'll see tonight,

there was an Obama program that

went through that was part of the

beginnings really of the Paris climate deal

that is truly frightening.

Where

its intent was to put companies out of business that disagreed with it.

Nobody that I know of has ever talked about it.

We have all of the documents.

We have everything to show you what was going on.

And it's this system

now in the Great Reset.

When you talk about the Great Reset,

and I don't know if you've ever noticed this, Justin, this just may be my conspiracy theory, but occasionally, occasionally, Glenn Beck tends to get like 10 steps ahead of where the audience is on their understanding of all of these things.

Glenn Beck?

Yeah, I know.

This doesn't sound like Glenn Beck.

Right.

It's really like a crazy accusation, but just let's pretend for a moment it's 100% accurate.

Can you take if people don't know, maybe they've heard the term the great reset, maybe they've heard Glenn talk about it here here and there Can you take give give people a one-on-one on what it actually is right?

So so in its most basic form I believe the great reset has two primary components Okay, you have this massive push for big gigantic social programs all the things that you hear far left people talk about all the time there's federal jobs guarantee type stuff in there There's you know the Green New Deal is obviously a part of this.

There's all sorts of things called for universal social protection which is another way of saying big government programs, wealth redistribution, all of that stuff is in it.

That's one part of it, but that's not really the most important part of it.

The most important part of it is that they're going to radically transform the entire global economy and society by extension through these things called ESG standards.

Let me break that down.

Let me just explain Operation Chokepoint.

I'm going to explain this tonight, but let me give you a little bit of it.

Operation Chokepoint was put in by the Obama administration in 2013.

We now know this to be an absolute fact.

It was for the FDIC, and I'm quoting,

to freeze politically disfavored businesses out of the financial system, end quote.

Okay?

Choke them off, Operation Chokepoint.

Choke them off.

So if you are quoting again, politically disfavored business, the banks would stop doing business with you.

So, that's what this is about.

That's how they control you.

And they get away with it because these are private banks doing it.

This is not a government program, right?

In theory, I know you're saying that's part of it, but like partnership.

This part of it is

our private businesses who are coming up with this ESG formula.

And then, companies that do business that do not score well on this, you know, social credit scale, they will have no opportunity to work with big banks or any of these businesses that are in this program.

Is that the way to think about this?

There's definitely that's a big part of it, but there's also a push to try to make regulatory changes that tie ESG standards into all sorts of other things.

For example, there was a very large investment group, I believe it was this past year in 2020, that was calling for the SEC to impose regulations related to ESG.

And what they want to do is keep, there's a lot of, there's a huge movement of these left-wing investors that want to keep companies that are not woke, that don't have high ESG scores off of stock exchanges.

And in the long run, that's absolutely.

a core part of this.

That's an easy regulatory change to make for the SEC to say, oh, well, we're only going to have, you know, these high ESG good companies in the stock exchange.

This is a public movement.

All of these companies are in it.

I mean, you know, when you've got exxon and exxon announced this week they're part of this uh when you got companies like exxon you would say to yourself why would they do something that would hurt them why would they do something to get involved where they're changing capitalism and even if you were able to stop it at the sec level the new york stock exchange could just do it yes the new york stock exchange could just say we only are trading with companies with these good scores because we believe in this so much it's good for humanity exactly we're going to show you some documentation tonight from merrill lynch where somebody who works is working as a researcher that's right uh went to their merrill lynch you know 401k page just to check things out

and what did he find he found that he had his very own special esg score he has himself has been given an ESG score based on his investments in all three categories, the E, the S, and the G.

And then he has an overall score, and it's not very good.

He didn't do very well.

well it's 4.6 he's a degenerate it's 4.6 so that is like having out of 10 that's like that's like having a three for your credit score who's going to give you any kind of loans if you have a three for your credit score this is going to be more important than anything else so and what it's doing right now is just saying it they're now just suggesting hey you should pay attention to things that companies that are are doing great things there's no teeth to it yet.

This came out in 2018.

Merrill Lynch put this in.

And it's all the framework.

It just needs the teeth to be turned on.

And all that is, is right now they're saying, look, you've got a score of 4.7.

That's because you're not looking at companies to see the whole stakeholder idea, where these companies have a responsibility to do good, not just for their shareholders, because that kind of capitalism is over.

So, every company that's being traded, we've scored with their ESG, which means those companies are required now to come up with all of this paperwork and all this bull crap.

So, now the cost of overhead is enormous.

Imagine what it will be for you and your restaurant.

So, they have to come up with these things.

So then they can get a score for the stock exchange, and Merrill Lynch can say, okay, that company has an eight.

Well, I want to invest in this company.

It's a gun company.

Ooh, they've got a ESG score of two.

Well, I don't care because I believe that's going to go up.

Doesn't matter.

You're not doing it for that anymore.

You're not doing it to make money.

You're doing it for the overall good of society.

This is the end of capitalism.

That's right.

And some of these ESG funds that they have, they already have ESG funds, like index funds, similar to these massive index funds that you have for other, that we've been around forever.

And they have excluded businesses related to guns and all sorts of other things already from that, automatically.

It doesn't matter how good you, you could be running, you know, your gun store on solar panels.

It doesn't matter.

The idea is that you are,

when you put teeth to this, you then, you have a completely bogus market because you're looking at a score for how politically correct is this person or this company.

If they're politically correct, the teeth tell all the lower investors, you're going to invest in these companies, not these companies, because it doesn't matter that these companies might be worth more.

We think the investment should go to these companies because they're socially woke.

When that happens, the stock market means nothing.

Nothing.

Because it is basically at the barrel of a gun the government and the big businesses have decided who's going to get the money right and have you noticed that when it comes to the environment we're no longer hearing about a climate uh

a climate trading board that we're no longer looking at carbon offsets and and climate offsets that you can sell like a stock exchange, that you can buy and sell these carbon credits.

That went away because companies were losing.

Companies, giant corporations would lose lots of money on that.

And who would get rich?

The government.

So this is a way for the government and businesses to get rich.

So now we don't need the carbon offsets.

We're forcing people to funnel their money into these companies because they're going to be great for the environment, whether they are or not, doesn't matter.

Funnel their money right into here because these are woke companies so the companies win anyone who stood against the the climate uh you know exchange board

they're in there too

because they can make money now without buying and selling credits yeah that's exactly right and we know this is going to happen We know it's going to happen.

The whole thing is rigged.

It's all set up.

We know it's going to happen because there's this group, Principles for Responsible Investment, came out of the united nations tied to the all the things you're going to be talking about tonight on the special and they together uh if you add up all the assets that these people who have voluntarily signed on to this group to agree to invest in esg standards

more than a hundred trillion dollars in assets that's twice all of the money printed money on earth More than $100 trillion.

I had to check it five times because I thought this can't possibly be right.

The UN itself says that these are these are the numbers.

More than $100 trillion controlled by these 3,000 investors who have agreed to be part of this.

And this group started in 2006 with 100 people.

And so they've been building this movement.

So

it's a done deal.

There's no way, if you are part of this group with $100 trillion, that you're going to put this on a, you're going to gamble it.

Well, maybe this will work.

Maybe it won't.

No chance.

You know how this all ends.

That's the only way you bet that kind of money.

This thing is completely rigged.

It's a giant con.

And the only way to beat it is locally.

The only way to beat it is locally.

You have got to get your town out of the UN sustainable bull crap.

You need to get out of any Agenda 2030, Agenda 21,

any of this stuff related to the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, and now our own country.

You must be able to stand on your own.

And this is one of the reasons why I keep saying you've got to protect all of your assets.

I will tell you that

I have not done this until last week.

I called my financial advisors who are Jewish and I said to them, I know at times you think I'm crazy, but I need you to start thinking like those who came before us in the 1930s.

They knew exactly what that meant.

You have to start thinking differently because there is a global system that is coming and it's going to choke the snot out of anyone who stands against it.

We're with Justin Haskins, editorial director of the Heartland Institute and also the co-author of a book on the Great Reset that I'll be putting out here shortly.

You know what?

We had a really difficult time because when we started the book, I was convinced this was all about socialism.

And the one thing I couldn't connect the dots on was, why would these companies want to destroy

capitalism?

Because it made them rich.

And I couldn't, I had theories, you had theories, but we couldn't really close that gap.

We know now it's really not socialism.

That's a red herring.

I believe the global powers that are involved in this are using the socialists to

say, oh, yeah, that's where we're going.

That's where we're going.

I mean, it's not where they're going.
