He also has a new book out called The Great Campaign Against the 9 00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:52,000 Great Reset, which sounds Jason pretty great. Thanks so much for joining us. 10 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,479 Well, thanks, Emily, it's uh yeah, it's got two greats 11 00:00:55,479 --> 00:01:00,719 in there, and you know, any campaign against the Great resource Reset is 12 00:01:00,799 --> 00:01:03,560 obviously great. But Jason, before we get started, could you tell us 13 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:07,959 a little bit about the Vulnerable People Project and how you got involved in the 14 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,760 kind of work that you do, because it is really unique work and it's 15 00:01:11,799 --> 00:01:14,200 fascinating work too, So if you could tell us a little bit about that, 16 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:15,719 that would be great. Yeah, that is such a hard question because 17 00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:19,159 the real answer is kind of a big answer. But I founded the Vulnerable 18 00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:26,719 People Project in two thousand and two and the idea was to as a young 19 00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:29,400 I was a soldier. I dropped out of high school on my seventh literally 20 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:33,120 the day I turned seventeen. I joined the army and I was an infantryman. 21 00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:37,159 And as a young soldier, I really had this idea of an organization 22 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:44,040 that would advocate for ethnic and religious minorities facing genocide. And I was conservative. 23 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,239 I was very pro life, So I had this vision of like a 24 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,359 pro life organization that it was genocide, demicide, warn abortion. And in 25 00:01:51,359 --> 00:01:55,719 two thousand and two I founded the Vulnerable People Project to do just that too, 26 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,599 to advocate for vulnerable ethnic and religious community facing genocide, but also to 27 00:02:01,719 --> 00:02:06,920 advocate for the incomparable dignitine beauty of the human person and in the West, 28 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000 in the United States, especially the Child in the Womb. VPP has a 29 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:15,159 sister project or program, called Movie to Movement, and we've been pretty successful. 30 00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:19,280 You know, We've made several films. We've won film festivals like the 31 00:02:19,319 --> 00:02:23,599 Toronto International Film Festival, the NAACP Image Award. Yes, so we've had 32 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,080 quite success with filmmaking as well. But it's all to the same goal of 33 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,159 sort of inspiring salidarity with the vulnerable and promoting human dignity, and we use 34 00:02:32,199 --> 00:02:36,159 film to do that as well. And you know, it's actually really interesting 35 00:02:36,199 --> 00:02:39,039 because this question of the Great Reset and what's happening in some of the most 36 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:46,000 powerful corridors of society, global society right now. A lot of people will 37 00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:50,199 talk about, you know, quote unquote vulnerable people, they'll talk about genocide, 38 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,000 they'll talk about all of those things, and yet they are the ones 39 00:02:53,039 --> 00:02:59,919 that are pulling the levers of kind of these these Great Reset policies and proposals. 40 00:03:00,439 --> 00:03:04,120 Can you talk to us a little bit about how you connect the dots 41 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,599 between people who are suffering around the world and the Great Reset in particular. 42 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,759 Well, the Great Reset is what's causing their suffering, and you hit on 43 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,280 their number one tactic, the fact, it's to me the most important chapter 44 00:03:15,319 --> 00:03:23,680 in my book that one of the ideological or rhetorical tactics of the Great Reset 45 00:03:23,039 --> 00:03:29,960 is victimism. And what victimism is is feigning concern for the vulnerable to gain 46 00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:34,639 wealth and power. So we can look at this in many different ways, 47 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,439 but let's just look, for example, at electric vehicles. Right. So 48 00:03:38,719 --> 00:03:43,439 King Charles and his Christmas Address said we should not let and this strikes me 49 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,280 close to home because I've spent the past, you know, twenty years working 50 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,000 where there's war, where there's genocide, where there's demoside, and where there's 51 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,280 famine. So it's not you know, pixels on a screen to me. 52 00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:58,080 I can smell it, I can hear it, I've seen it. So 53 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,120 King Charles says we shouldn't let war and famine distract us from what we should 54 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:08,439 really be having compassionate for compassion for the climate. So this is an example 55 00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:14,280 of victimism, you know, feigning concern for the quote unquote climate to acquire 56 00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:17,000 wealth and power. You look at the green economy, I call it the 57 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,360 black and brown economy, black cole, brown kids, you know, at 58 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:27,480 the ground zero of the green quote unquote green economy, Our children as young 59 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:34,199 as six, over forty thousand children in Congo harvesting cobalt with shovels and spoons, 60 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:40,920 getting cancer, working themselves to death so that people can drive around their 61 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,959 you know, tesla with their coexists bumper sticker and feeling like they're they're virtuous. 62 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,600 So I think that you know that's that's just one example of how they 63 00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:58,360 use feigned concern for the vulnerable to acquire wealth and power. And one of 64 00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:00,959 the reasons I wrote this book, and I really for this audience, especially 65 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:06,480 young conservatives. Young conservatives are just young people in general. They're so repulsed 66 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:10,759 they may not even know, they won't know the expression or the term victimism, 67 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:18,879 but they're so repulsed by victimism that any concern for the vulnerable they find 68 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:26,040 repulsive. So expressing any concern for the vulnerable is reprehensible because they've only seen 69 00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:30,000 it done in ways that are used to acquire wealth and power at the expense 70 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,759 of vulnerable. So rather just reject it all together. And that's why there's 71 00:05:32,759 --> 00:05:39,519 another chapter in my book on one of the five strategies against the Great Reset, 72 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:44,839 it's radical solidarity. So radical solidarity with the truly vulnerable comes at a 73 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:53,319 cost. Whether you're Nick Sandman at the March for Life and you have the 74 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,959 whole media establishment come down on a poor kid standing for life. But so 75 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,199 when you stand with the truly vulnerable, you become vulnerable. But that is 76 00:06:02,319 --> 00:06:10,839 the path out of the Great Reset. That's the opposite of victimism. Oh 77 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,879 no, I was gonna say that brings up a really big question. And 78 00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:15,800 I like asking this to people who are involved in the space because I imagine, 79 00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:20,480 you know, I remember when I was growing up trying to envision what 80 00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:25,519 was sort of happening in places like Washington, DC or I'm recording this right 81 00:06:25,519 --> 00:06:30,759 now, Davos, whatever, And it's always one of these big looming questions 82 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:38,279 of if they really care about vulnerable people? Are they Are they aware of 83 00:06:38,319 --> 00:06:41,560 what's happening in the Cobalt minds and doing this on purpose? Is it, 84 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,920 you know, means to what they see as a just end? How do 85 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,800 they Jason justify this in their own minds? Or is it really you know, 86 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:53,199 sort of that caricature, the scheming Bond villains behind the scene, really 87 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:58,199 trying to just profit off of people's misery. What's going on in their heads 88 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,600 as they make some of these plans and come up with these ideas. Well, 89 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,680 what's great about this great campaign against the Great Reset, which will be 90 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,800 quite the adventure for your generation, is you in fact have scheming Bond villains. 91 00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:13,680 They look like scheming Bond villains. How great is that? Like, 92 00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:17,839 as a filmmaker, the casting is masterful. I mean, Klaus Schwab couldn't 93 00:07:17,839 --> 00:07:21,000 be better. You couldn't have cast a better villain. But that's not most 94 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:27,920 people, right, Most people are just expressing sort of a public piety to 95 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,639 the gods of the city, and they don't want you to you know, 96 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,600 roughle any feathers or what Hannah Runt would call the banality of evil. It's 97 00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:41,480 you know, most evil in the world is just normal folks trying to avoid 98 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,120 pain, you know, or just go along to get along. But no, 99 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,399 they know, like, let's just look at some examples of how the 100 00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:51,360 great reset and what inspired me to write this book is the past three years, 101 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,480 I've spent most of my time in Afghanistan and Ukraine sort of trying to 102 00:07:56,519 --> 00:07:59,959 clean up the messes that we've caused, you know, rescuing our Afghan alli 103 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,240 in Afghanistan, or providing for the widows and orphans of our for our allies 104 00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:09,600 who died in Ukraine in the first days of the war, evacuating women and 105 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,759 children to the West, and now removing land mines and other initiatives in Ukraine. 106 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:20,639 So you can see the real human cost of the globalist the globalist schemes 107 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,600 and That's why I wrote this book. But let's just look at some examples 108 00:08:24,639 --> 00:08:26,720 of how the vulnerable been utterly abandoned in the world. Today. You have 109 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:33,960 three million ethnic Wiger and Chinese occupied East Turkistan in concentration camps. There's no 110 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:39,120 doubt about this. The Trump administration labeled a degenocide. The first thing that 111 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,919 Biden administration tried to do is roll this back. You know, you have 112 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,120 some of the biggest brands saying that they cannot guarantee that their products are slave 113 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,039 labor free. The company Disney made a movie Mulan that made a caricature of 114 00:08:52,080 --> 00:09:01,240 the weaker people and celebrated the Han Chinese decimation of the evil Weiger. And 115 00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:05,000 what was so tragic about the live action version of the Mulan movie is they 116 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,519 shot it in East Turkistan. Shinjohn and the actors were driven past real concentration 117 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:16,559 camps. As Disney partnered with the CCP to make anti Wiger propaganda. You 118 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:22,559 have in China brutalizing of the church. You know, seven Catholic bishops disappeared. 119 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,559 The most prominent Catholic layman in the world, Jimmy Lai, in a 120 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:33,320 Hong Kong prison you had, under the Obama administration, the almost total ethnic 121 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,919 cleansing of the first century Christian communities from Iraq, total silence, complete, 122 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,559 in total silence. In October, you had the Armenian Christians cleansed from their 123 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,399 homeland where they had been celebrating mass every day, praying and living since the 124 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:56,559 second century, ethnically cleansed. And no, they're not ignorant to what's happening. 125 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,399 This, in fact, is what the Great Reset looks like. So 126 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:07,720 what we fear coming to us, coming to our children, grandchildren of posterity, 127 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,080 It's already arrived. I mean, the Great Reset has arrived for China, 128 00:10:11,519 --> 00:10:16,200 it's arrived for Chinese occupied East Turkestan. The Great Reset has arrived to 129 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:22,399 the children, for the children in Congo. And then something else I address 130 00:10:22,519 --> 00:10:28,120 Emily in the book that's more intimate and more to your generation, is this 131 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,960 war on the ability to love or experience Euros And I think this is at 132 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:39,159 the heart of the challenges of the Great Reset. We have generations now that 133 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:45,279 haven't been able to experience the awakening of Eros naturally, and so the ability 134 00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:50,000 to love their parents, to love God, to experience romantic love in sort 135 00:10:50,039 --> 00:10:56,440 of a healthy, normal human way has been absolutely robbed from them by technology. 136 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:01,960 And this too is a part of the great which we see with transhumanism 137 00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:07,120 and anti humanism, obliterating what it means to be human, obliterating sexuality, 138 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:15,399 gender, This is at the heart of the great reset's desire to make us 139 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:22,080 all sort of separated, isolated and alone. That's that raises such an interesting 140 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,440 point about how you know, through usai D and other organizations that a lot 141 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:33,399 of Americans may not be aware of the sort of dark side of the work 142 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:39,039 that they do. So much of it has focused actually on some of those 143 00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:41,600 cultural issues that we were just talking about. I mean, some people who 144 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,399 who have researched this very long time or just followed these stories for a long 145 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:54,480 time are aware of the sort of contraception abortion promotion, the kind of LGBT 146 00:11:54,759 --> 00:12:00,840 rights promotion that bleeds into you know, other things, sport for teen transgender 147 00:12:01,279 --> 00:12:03,559 stuff and all of that. Could you tell us a little bit about how 148 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:09,879 that's kind of an export of the American and Western I should say, NGO 149 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:16,399 and even governmental organization work in some of these places these days. Yeah, 150 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,480 and it's again it's victimism, right, It's feigning conserve for these communities when 151 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,080 they're doing nothing but causing heart heartache. So I can give you three unbelievable 152 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,320 examples. One example was during the I was in Iraq traveling with the Peshmerga 153 00:12:28,759 --> 00:12:35,000 during their war with ISIS. And there was a small ethnic community that lives 154 00:12:35,039 --> 00:12:37,399 in Iraqi, Curtis stand, a very small embattled community that was suffering at 155 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,320 the hands of ISIS. They're called the Kakai. And as I was meeting 156 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:46,960 with a prominent woman from one of the most powerful or the most powerful Kohai, 157 00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:50,159 an influential Kokai family, I had asked her had she met with the 158 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,799 US State Department yet, she said, And I assumed she would have been 159 00:12:52,799 --> 00:12:58,360 meeting regularly with the US State Department. And this was twenty sixteen and the 160 00:12:58,399 --> 00:13:01,240 height of the genocide. She said, I had one meeting and I was 161 00:13:01,279 --> 00:13:05,399 informed by the person I was meeting with from the State Department. Now, 162 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,240 Emily, you're not going to believe this. And when I say that, 163 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,759 when I tell people a story, I feel like I'm lying. The State 164 00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:16,080 Department representative said to this woman whose community was facing ethnic cleansing at the hands 165 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,679 of ISIS, like a brutality. The world has never seen that. We're 166 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,080 focused on LGBTQ issues right now, not ethnic issues. And this is an 167 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:31,720 ethnic issue now. That seems unbelievable. This doesn't even seem it doesn't seem 168 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,440 believable. I was in Ukraine meeting with government officials in June last this past 169 00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:41,159 June, and two things were brought to my attention. One was Germany taking 170 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:46,320 advantage of the war to try to pressure Ukraine to change their laws on exporting 171 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:50,879 fetal tissue. In Germany, you cannot import fetal tissue. I'm sorry, 172 00:13:50,879 --> 00:13:56,879 you cannot do research on fetal tissue derived from abortions in Germany, but you 173 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,600 can import fetal tissue for research and in a bizarre irony. And by the 174 00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:05,159 way, this laws were in place because after World War Two, the Germans 175 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,440 sort of had a revulsion to sort of any taking of innocent human life or 176 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:15,080 bizarre experimentation on tissue derived from destroying innocent human life, so they banned research 177 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,840 on fetal tissue. Well, they import it. And Emily, where's the 178 00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:24,480 last country in the world you think Germany would import most of their feetal tissue? 179 00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:31,399 Hmm, you do not want to know. But I'm going to tell 180 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:37,559 you Germany imports most of its fetal tissue from research from Israel. That's what 181 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,000 you were going to say. Now, this clearly makes them uncomfortable, so 182 00:14:41,039 --> 00:14:45,360 they're pressuring Ukraine. Hey, let us import your feetus, you know, 183 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,039 your fetal material to do research. You have that. When I met with 184 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:54,879 some of Zelensky's UH top staff in his presidential palace in June, they lamented 185 00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:58,919 the fact that the US State Department was taking advantage of this war to put 186 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:07,039 these bizarre ideological agendas on Ukraine. I was in Ukraine in June. Now 187 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,240 I saw it, not one rainbow flag. The only rainbow flag I saw 188 00:15:09,279 --> 00:15:11,600 I saw one. It was at the Canadian embassy. That was it. 189 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:20,519 So in Russia and China weaponize the State Department's exporting of these trans ideologies and 190 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:28,879 just another tragic example. My organization began evacuating and resettling our former Afghan allies 191 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,120 beginning in late July of twenty twenty one, as Afghanistan began to fall. 192 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,320 It's something we still do. This week, we'll be doing evacuations this week. 193 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,120 We haven't stopped. In the early months after the fall, I started 194 00:15:43,159 --> 00:15:50,960 getting messages through my LinkedIn from activists working Afghan activists in Kabble working for Western 195 00:15:52,039 --> 00:16:00,360 organizations that were promoting LGBT abortion and contraception in Afghanistan. Organizations they worked for 196 00:16:00,519 --> 00:16:06,000 basically sent them form emails from their lawyers saying you no longer work for us, 197 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,720 We're not no longer responsible for what happens to you. And then they 198 00:16:08,799 --> 00:16:17,039 came to my organization, a Catholic human rights organization, sheepishly and embarrassed, 199 00:16:17,639 --> 00:16:21,039 asking if we would evacuate them, and we did, of course we did, 200 00:16:22,039 --> 00:16:25,279 but the organizations they worked for just abandon them. And to me, 201 00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:33,559 that's victimism, luring people into dangerous activism in Afghanistan, and with the fall 202 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,159 of the government, you just leave those people who you're responsible for to their 203 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:42,679 fate. And that's where we are. But not just the exporting of you 204 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:48,159 know, these bizarre ideologies. What really concerns me is for these generations Z 205 00:16:48,399 --> 00:16:53,840 and Gen Alpha Americans who were addled by pornography and their phones before they even 206 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:59,759 hit puberty. You know that they they're dating on apps where they have settings 207 00:16:59,759 --> 00:17:03,480 that ninety percent of the young men not even visible to young women. And 208 00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:10,640 so you have this sort of strange death of Aros, robbing young people of 209 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:15,799 what's most beautiful in life and robbing from them the ability to love. And 210 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,240 in my introduction to young Americans in my book, I address what I call 211 00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:23,960 the adventure of Euros, which is what they need to launch. That's how 212 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:30,880 we defeat the Great Reset with these young generations rediscover love, love for God, 213 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:36,960 love for their family, serving the common good, experiencing erotic marital love, 214 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,079 having children, and ordering their lives towards their posterity. This is how 215 00:17:41,079 --> 00:17:48,680 we break the Great Reset. You've probably noticed volatility in the market lately. 216 00:17:48,759 --> 00:17:52,920 The stock market has seen unprecedented fluctuations over the last three years, and silver 217 00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:59,880 has historically been considered a safe haven asset during times like this of market volatility. 218 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,640 When that uncertainty rises, investors will often turn to precious metals like silver 219 00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:10,079 to preserve wealth and to hedge against economic instability. One of the reasons is 220 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,599 because silver is a tangible asset. Owning physical silver coins provides you with that 221 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:18,160 tangible you can hold it in your hand, and in times of economic uncertainty, 222 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,559 having tangible assets can provide that sense of security and peace of mind. 223 00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:30,240 Don't forget that coins hold both intrinsic and numismatic value. While you're stacking silver 224 00:18:30,319 --> 00:18:34,119 in the form of bars or rounds, it holds that intrinsic value of metal 225 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:40,720 coins, and especially those certified coins, hold the additional numismatic value of being 226 00:18:40,759 --> 00:18:45,400 a historic collectible.

Think you're making such an 241 00:20:00,799 --> 00:20:03,880 important connection kind of between point A and point B, you know, point 242 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,559 a great reset? Point be it this sort of dissemination through foreign policy initiatives 243 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:15,720 of radical essentially radical cultural leftism. And I'm curious you're also making this important 244 00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:22,279 connection to faith and God. And how much or how important to the Great 245 00:20:22,319 --> 00:20:26,400 Reset is secularism in your experience? You know, what is this? Essentially 246 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:32,160 it's motivating factors that the sort of Nietzsche and approach to the world. How 247 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:37,119 big of a role does does secularism play in the Great Reset? Yeah? 248 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,480 Well, I mean, you know, you brought up Nietzsche, Heidegger, 249 00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:45,440 the rise of illiberal ideologies left and right. You know, there seems to 250 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:51,000 be an abandonment of this sort of vision of the human person that our republic 251 00:20:51,079 --> 00:20:52,559 was founded on. I mean, the United States of America is the only 252 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:57,759 country that's founded on anthropology, you know, the Declaration Independence. We hold 253 00:20:57,799 --> 00:21:02,599 these shoes to be self evident, and what they the truth that they hold 254 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,880 to be self evident are truths on the nature of the human person, and 255 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,480 that the human person has an inviable dignity, and every citizen is a sovereign 256 00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:18,319 and the governments exist to serve our interests. That's radical and so yeah, 257 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:27,160 fundamentally, it's a denial of the vision of the human person that inescapably the 258 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,720 only way. The West, what we call the West, is what is 259 00:21:30,839 --> 00:21:37,759 left of Christendom, and what Christendom was was it's a vision of the world, 260 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,480 how the world should be ordered around the vision of the human person. 261 00:21:41,519 --> 00:21:44,720 And that vision of the human person is a creature made in the image and 262 00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:48,200 likeness of God, who has an inviable dignity, beauty and worth. And 263 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:56,279 what the Great Reset hopes to do is a race forever. That vision of 264 00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:59,720 the human person that our founding fathers had, now, our founding fathers called 265 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,720 it so self evident, and they were wrong. There ein Rand would call 266 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,480 it axiomatic. She too, shared our founder's vision of the human person, 267 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,519 and she said it's axiomatic. Our founding fathers call it self evident. But 268 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:21,799 with Nietzsche and sart And and Freud and others understood was the no, this 269 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:29,960 isn't self evident. This is the fruit of Christian revealed religious truth. And 270 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,799 if you deny Christian revelation, as Sartz said, then you have to deny 271 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:41,839 that vision of the human person grounded in Christian revelation. So what the Great 272 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:48,119 Reset hopes to do is a race from our memories that vision of the human 273 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,720 person that was birth with the incarnation of the second person of the Trinity, 274 00:22:53,559 --> 00:23:00,720 and theologians and philosophers and churchmen and laymen pondering on what does it mean to 275 00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:03,440 be made in the image and likeness of God? What does it mean for 276 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:10,759 our creator to be three persons Homousius, you know, three persons one essence. 277 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000 What does that mean for the second person of the Trinity to become man 278 00:23:14,079 --> 00:23:18,839 and man to be made in God's image? And what that led to was 279 00:23:18,839 --> 00:23:25,599 a culture that respected the individual, respected those who were disabled, who respected 280 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,119 the minority, who respected the other. And that's something we don't want to 281 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,359 lose. And what the Great Reset, the tacticians of the Great Reset are 282 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:44,440 really good at doing is dividing us and blotting out the natural sentiment for solidarity, 283 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:52,480 or replacing it with victimism, which is an easy faue solidarity. And 284 00:23:52,519 --> 00:23:55,920 there's so much to learn from some of these case studies that you've mentioned. 285 00:23:56,319 --> 00:24:02,160 You were talking about Nicorno Karabak, I from pronouncing that correctly used in Iraq, 286 00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:07,759 people who are left behind through our disastrous withdrawal in Afghanistan, and whatever 287 00:24:07,799 --> 00:24:11,519 people think about the funding debate over Ukraine, about the military conversation about Ukraine. 288 00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:15,759 Certainly there's a lot of suffering in Ukraine right now as well. What 289 00:24:15,839 --> 00:24:19,359 can people learn from some of those case stories, if there's more that case 290 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,160 studies, if there's more that you want to share about particular ones. I 291 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:26,519 mean, Niicorno Karabak is a great example of one that's gotten barely any attention. 292 00:24:26,839 --> 00:24:30,119 Yazdi's have gotten way less attention than they should have. What can we 293 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,880 learn from some of these examples? Well, you know, the Great Campaign 294 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:40,839 against the Great Reset is really a Girardian look at the Great Reset, and 295 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:48,240 the French anthropologist Rene Gerrard wrote about how these communities outside of social concern, 296 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,920 where it takes risk to stand with, well, we'll never have authentic defenders. 297 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,680 So you know, you look, what have we learned? We have 298 00:24:56,799 --> 00:25:00,960 learned that when we're silent about the a ZD genocide, can we take the 299 00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:06,519 establishments concerned whatever frenzy they're whipping us up to at any moment, right, 300 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,720 can we really believe that they're sincere? Like absolute silence on the ethnic cleansing 301 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:18,000 in art Soak, absolute silence in the weaker genocide, absolute silence on the 302 00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:21,279 Yazidi. I mean, I was in Emily, I was in Iraq. 303 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,119 I went through villages of Yazdi where I could smell their flesh still burning from 304 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,759 the buildings that were set on fire by Isis and their retreat. I could 305 00:25:29,799 --> 00:25:32,559 look at, you know, Yazdi women with little holes in the front, 306 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:38,519 big holes in the back. I participated in mass funerals for Yazid's miles from 307 00:25:38,519 --> 00:25:41,839 the battlefield. And these are real human beings, you know, the Azids. 308 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,640 Just to put it in perspective. And one of the great privileges of 309 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,920 my job is, hey, I get to learn how we're just all the 310 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,319 same, Like I just the human, whether I'm working in Afghanistan or Sudan, 311 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,079 or I rock like, you know, we're really just we're a human 312 00:25:56,119 --> 00:26:00,759 family, but we're also very unique and and beautiful and have really different histories. 313 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:06,960 The Azdi are proto Semitic people, So the Jews, Kurds, and 314 00:26:07,039 --> 00:26:10,519 Arabs descend from the Azidi. When Abraham was waving goodbye to his family, 315 00:26:10,559 --> 00:26:14,000 he was waving goodbye to somebody, and they're still there. They're the Yazidi. 316 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,680 Now, their religion has gone through several changes since the time of Abraham, 317 00:26:18,839 --> 00:26:25,039 but it's more or less, you know, still it's still related to 318 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:30,440 the religion that Abraham came out of. How unbelievable is that. So to 319 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:37,079 see these proto Semitic people suffering this brutal ethnic cleansing, and then the president 320 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,519 of the United States at the time, Barack Obama, refers to Isis as 321 00:26:40,559 --> 00:26:47,799 the JV team and sort of shrugs his shoulder at that genocide. It makes 322 00:26:47,839 --> 00:26:52,640 you wonder we just when we're being sold to be concerned about something, we 323 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,720 really realize we're being sold in other bill of goods, and we'll go to 324 00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:02,079 Ukraine for example. My position on Ukraine's be quite controversial. I work in 325 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,920 Ukraine. We remove land mines in Ukraine, we've We've done a lot of 326 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,119 work there. But I've been calling for a ceasefire since the day of the 327 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:17,160 invasion because I don't see how Ukraine wins this war militarily. And I support 328 00:27:17,559 --> 00:27:22,359 working to help Ukraine defend itself, but not to use Ukraine as a means 329 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,079 to our end. In general, Milli, this is another example of victimism. 330 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:30,960 General Millie said out loud, like weeks after the invasion, General, 331 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,000 do you think that we can win the war? He said, we don't 332 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:36,200 need to win, we just need a quagmire. Good lord, that's right, 333 00:27:36,319 --> 00:27:38,799 I've forgotten about that. Yeah, And Emily, it's you know, 334 00:27:38,839 --> 00:27:42,119 for me, I'll never forget it because and I'd love to invite you like 335 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,720 I. You know, in June, I was at touring hospitals across Ukraine. 336 00:27:47,279 --> 00:27:51,640 I was in one hospital, a former Soviet prison. Every room was 337 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:57,640 filled with boys missing arms, legs, and eyes. I went to a 338 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,799 home for pregnate women whose husbands were off at war, and they were from 339 00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:07,680 the East. And every night these women had to go into the bomb shelter. 340 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,759 In fact, many of them had given birth in the bomb shelter. 341 00:28:11,319 --> 00:28:18,039 These are real human beings with real hopes, you know, with real goals, 342 00:28:18,279 --> 00:28:22,920 with real feelings, they're not means to our end. And I met 343 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:29,880 with an American official in Kiev in June, and when I wanted to talk 344 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,160 to him about the interest of the people of Ukraine, he literally, like 345 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:41,160 a broken record, just kept repeating over and over the weapons systems that we 346 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,519 need to get Congress to fund. And he was speaking not as he was 347 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,599 it was coming not from the interest of the people of Ukraine, but as 348 00:28:48,599 --> 00:28:53,200 if literally this was a government employee, as if he was like a rep, 349 00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,440 you know, pharmaceutical rep trying to sell me a new medicine. And 350 00:28:57,839 --> 00:29:00,920 you know, it was It's quite quite heartbreaking. And I think that our 351 00:29:02,039 --> 00:29:07,640 establishment really has no real concern for the interests of the people of Ukraine. 352 00:29:08,079 --> 00:29:11,119 And you know, Ale can make that argument about the Ukrainian government too, 353 00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:17,400 which is now pulling men beyond military age off the streets because they're having such 354 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:22,240 a hard time getting people to fight. Yeah, it's quite solid. War 355 00:29:22,359 --> 00:29:25,799 is a horrible I'm a former infantryman. I was a soldier, my son 356 00:29:25,839 --> 00:29:27,160 was a soldier, my dad was a soldier, my brothers were soldiers. 357 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,680 My grandfather was a soldier. Come from a military family. We're all combat 358 00:29:30,759 --> 00:29:34,440 arms. You know, war is the worst thing in the world. There's 359 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,680 nothing in the world because every bad thing that can happen happens in war, 360 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:49,519 rape, human trafficking, you know. So that how lightly our establishment, 361 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:56,319 the same advocates of the Great Reset talk about war, should tell you their 362 00:29:56,359 --> 00:30:03,839 real interests and their interests aren't aligned with ours. And again to defeating the 363 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,039 Great Reset, it's inevitable, you know this. I'm a Catholic, and 364 00:30:08,079 --> 00:30:15,359 so coming from our theology, ideologies of evil are deprivations, deprivations collapse under 365 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:19,400 their own weight. Saint John Paul the Second said that when the Nazis invaded 366 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,000 Poland, he knew they wouldn't be there long, and he knew that the 367 00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:26,480 Soviets wouldn't be there much longer either. He always had faith in this because 368 00:30:26,519 --> 00:30:32,680 theology told him that regimes of evil are deprivations and collapse under their own weight. 369 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:38,799 And that's true. And so this inhuman great reset that you know, 370 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,160 you look at what's with the rise of the farmers and across Europe, which 371 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:52,359 is absolutely unbelievable, the truckers across Canada. If we can break the spell 372 00:30:52,400 --> 00:31:00,640 of victimism because people Emily that you know and love, they are captivated by 373 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:07,440 the language of concern for the vulnerable, and they're exploited. Their sentiment and 374 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:12,039 their humaneness is exploited by those who, as you said, are really bond 375 00:31:12,119 --> 00:31:18,400 villains. They're like, legitimately not to be disrespectful to Bond villains, but 376 00:31:19,519 --> 00:31:25,279 they're Bond villains. And that's why I felt called to write this book. 377 00:31:25,319 --> 00:31:30,400 I was actually give you a little backstory. I was the day Afghanistan collapsed. 378 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,359 The publisher called me and said, we'd like to publish your next book. 379 00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:37,920 What is it? And I said, well, and I pitched them 380 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,279 I want to write my spiritual autobiography called on Rocky Soil, a spiritual autobiography 381 00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:48,599 of a man you probably won't meet in heaven. And they said deal, 382 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,359 and they sent me the contract. And two years of trying to move our 383 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,599 allies and losing a lot of people that I got to know quite well to 384 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,160 violence into the Taliban, I wasn't in the mood to write about God, 385 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,720 and I wasn't angry at God. I was just like God, Okay, 386 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,119 you're there, I'm here. Let's not talk. You don't talk to me 387 00:32:07,119 --> 00:32:12,119 I don't talk to you. I'm just thinking. But I also saw just 388 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,559 the carnage, the carnage in Ukraine, the carnage in Afghanistan, the carnage 389 00:32:15,559 --> 00:32:19,720 in Sudan, everywhere we were working. It was just the past three years 390 00:32:19,759 --> 00:32:27,160 were harder than the previous twenty at the Vulnerable People Project, and I saw 391 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,000 you, this is the Great Reset. I'm seeing the Great Reset up close 392 00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:37,279 and personal. It's lack of respect for human dignity, it's disrespect for humane 393 00:32:37,319 --> 00:32:40,319 societies. And I felt. I called my publisher, said, look, 394 00:32:40,319 --> 00:32:43,000 I don't want to write about God right now. I don't want to write 395 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,680 about my relationship with God right now. I got to get through some things. 396 00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:50,880 But I'm hearing all this talk in the West on the Great Reset, 397 00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:55,039 and I've been nose to noose with it in these killing fields and battlefields now 398 00:32:55,079 --> 00:33:04,119 for two decades, and I want to write from that perspective.

Yeah, the other there's so 417 00:34:32,559 --> 00:34:37,199 much there. I wanted to ask, based on just what you're explaining about 418 00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:42,400 the a ZD, what you were talking about in Africa, certainly in Afghanistan 419 00:34:42,519 --> 00:34:51,480 with the Taliban, what role does sort of the radical Islam and the dare 420 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:55,719 I say, imperialism of radical Islam in places like Africa and the Middle East? 421 00:34:58,199 --> 00:35:02,159 How much sort of suffering of Christians like the Yazidi or in Nigeria for 422 00:35:02,199 --> 00:35:07,280 example right now, I mean barely makes headlines, but there's just incredible levels 423 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:15,079 of violence specifically against Christians in Nigeria. Are we seeing something that is I 424 00:35:15,159 --> 00:35:17,159 mean, to me, it almost feels like a chapter ripped out of a 425 00:35:17,159 --> 00:35:24,079 book about the early period of Islam. What role is that playing in perpetrating 426 00:35:24,119 --> 00:35:30,320 some of these acts of mass suffering mass violence? Right now? Oh, 427 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,559 it's awful, It's horrible. And so, for example, all the profits 428 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,559 proceeds my book is I've signed over all the profits from this book, which 429 00:35:39,559 --> 00:35:44,800 it's already pre sold. It doesn't come out for eight weeks and it's already 430 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:49,920 pre sold one hundred and twenty thousand copies. Wow, congrats, that's fantastic. 431 00:35:50,039 --> 00:35:52,400 Yeah, it's unbelievable. Really, we're kind of taking it back. 432 00:35:52,039 --> 00:35:55,840 But all the prophets are going to secure churches and synagogues in Nigeria. They're 433 00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,800 actually a small and battle Jewish community in Nigeria as well. After the October 434 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:07,920 seventh attacks, I ordered I funded the putting in of security cameras and hiring 435 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:13,679 security for the last remaining synagogues as well. So, yeah, the rise 436 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:21,559 of Islamist extremism obviously, from ISIS to Bocal Haram to in Afghanistan. Our 437 00:36:21,559 --> 00:36:23,320 biggest problem is in the Taliban. Actually right now with our work, it's 438 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,440 ISIS. So even with the permission of the Taliban, we secure schools. 439 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,960 Now I have my organization as armed guards outside of schools that we fund and 440 00:36:32,119 --> 00:36:37,000 are allowed by the government in Afghanistan to fund and put in front of schools. 441 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,840 How bizarre is that. So I have armed guards in front of girls 442 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:49,320 schools in Afghanistan and they're there to protect the girls from ISIS. So yeah, 443 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,440 it's a real problem. But then I had an article out at the 444 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,079 stream today with the rise of Hindi nationalism and the butchering and the destruction of 445 00:36:55,199 --> 00:37:01,159 hundreds of churches in India, by Hindu nationalists. So yeah, we're seeing, 446 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,440 you know, a rise of violence, but you hit the nail on 447 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,599 the head with Nigeria. Nine out of ten Christians who are martyred this year 448 00:37:10,039 --> 00:37:16,840 will be killed in Nigeria. Oh my goodness. Wow, just a stunning 449 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:21,440 piece of information compared to when you when you compare it to the headlines, 450 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,880 and how little attention that it's getting. It's just unreal. And one question, 451 00:37:25,159 --> 00:37:29,320 Jason, is I'm thinking about your work, thinking about this book. 452 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:34,760 It reminds me sort of of some of my friends on the left have this 453 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,679 and for a long time have argued with the right about the arrogance of US 454 00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:45,920 foreign policy and US imperialism, And of course they would often be talking about 455 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:51,719 Central America, Guatemala and all of that. But actually, to me, 456 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,039 it seems like almost now this is the middle of the Venn diagram between left 457 00:37:54,039 --> 00:38:00,480 and right, that there is this sort of arrogance, cultural arrogance, and 458 00:38:00,599 --> 00:38:06,360 our foreign policy is increasingly becoming a vehicle for the ideological, as you said, 459 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:13,000 the ideological victimism, you know, whether it's hollowing out the middle socioeconomically 460 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,519 while the top gets richer and richer and richer, or it's the cultural imperialism 461 00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:22,679 of the LGBT agenda, whatever it is. The left. Some of those 462 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,840 people on the left that were you know, Chomsky, Howard Zendavid Tayes might 463 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,840 not have fully signed on and realized what this is happening, But it's now 464 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:37,119 so much clearer. I think from the perspective of the right that our foreign 465 00:38:37,159 --> 00:38:42,159 policy Ukraine is a great example is being used to advance the interests of totally 466 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,159 ulterior or ulterior interests. I should say, is there anything there from your 467 00:38:45,199 --> 00:38:51,199 perspective You've worked in this space really closer than I have. Do you see 468 00:38:51,199 --> 00:38:55,239 this as a sort of function of cultural arrogance or foreign policy arrogance, anything 469 00:38:55,280 --> 00:39:00,559 on that line. Yeah, No, there's definitely this this air. It's 470 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,960 you know, I call them the bastard children of the British East Indies company, 471 00:39:04,079 --> 00:39:07,039 these progressives, like they're they're the they're the colonialists, they're the imperialists. 472 00:39:07,679 --> 00:39:14,159 I mean they're going they're trying to like turn societies upside down with no 473 00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,239 thought of the consequences. I mean, let's just go back to Afghanistan and 474 00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:23,440 how they had these you know, young Afghans working for their organizations, and 475 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:30,400 when Afghanistan collapsed, they just left them there to die. You know, 476 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,719 we you know that we see that. It's again it is really just a 477 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:38,880 tactic to acquire wealth and power because there's no consistency. They don't chastise Saudi 478 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:45,719 Arabia for you know, executing homosexuals. They don't, uh, they don't 479 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:52,159 condemn China that Disney changes its movies. You know, they'll call the people 480 00:39:52,159 --> 00:39:57,920 of Georgia Nazis, but then they'll change and say they're not going to ever 481 00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:02,559 produce a movie in Georgia. But then Disney will edit its films to make 482 00:40:02,599 --> 00:40:07,639 its content palatable in the Middle East, or literally shoot a film advocating genocide 483 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:14,360 in China in the very place the genocide is taking place. So I think, 484 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,360 yeah, it's arrogance. But then also I think for most people who 485 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,639 are working in these institutions, it's really just like I call it the passover 486 00:40:22,639 --> 00:40:25,119 ideology, Like they just put blood on their door and hope the angel of 487 00:40:25,159 --> 00:40:29,719 death passes over them. They don't want to be canceled. They don't want 488 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,800 problems, Like what do I have to say, I'll say it, just 489 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:37,599 leave me alone, please, I don't want the hive mind attacking me. 490 00:40:37,639 --> 00:40:43,320 I don't want the mob attacking me. I mean, your generation has literally 491 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,840 was birthed into a cultural revolution. And at least in China, they would 492 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:52,480 pull you on stage, mock you, attack you, throw things at you, 493 00:40:52,519 --> 00:40:53,599 and then you be ripped off the stage and it would be over. 494 00:40:53,960 --> 00:41:01,719 But now they attack you, and it's therefore in your social media account and 495 00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,360 they can attack you anytime, night or day. So you know, young 496 00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:12,119 people, as they progress from college to the workforce, are never going to 497 00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:15,159 be able to express dissent. I'm a graduate of the University of Hawaii, 498 00:41:15,199 --> 00:41:19,119 and since I was a student, every year I would get to give I 499 00:41:19,159 --> 00:41:21,719 give it would give a speech to the police side apartment from the right. 500 00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,119 It would give me one lecture a year, and this continued until twenty nineteen. 501 00:41:25,199 --> 00:41:29,679 Right before COVID was the last time I did this. I asked the 502 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,760 students to express before I gave my speech, one position that they hold to 503 00:41:35,519 --> 00:41:40,159 that wou may be offensive to their classmates. So like one dissenting opinion, 504 00:41:42,079 --> 00:41:46,360 you know from you know, the gods of the city. And after like 505 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:52,320 four minutes of awkward silence, one student raised his hand and said, my 506 00:41:52,519 --> 00:42:00,920 generation lacks the ability to authentically express dissent, and well, we won't give 507 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,400 you an answer, and everyone agreed to that. And so the sort of 508 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:08,079 that, I you know, what that young man was sharing with me in 509 00:42:08,119 --> 00:42:12,440 his classroom. It's true at the State Department. I mean, do you 510 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:15,239 think most people at the State Department, in the midst of the ethnic cleansing 511 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:22,519 of the Azdi think that it's best to go meet with the leaders of communities 512 00:42:22,679 --> 00:42:27,599 in the Middle East facing ethnic cleansing and talk to them about LGBT issues or 513 00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,400 is it as again as Hannah Aaron says, the banality of evil? What 514 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,159 does my supervisor want me to do? What do I have to do to 515 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,960 avoid trouble? Okay, I'll go do it. And it's it's sort of 516 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,880 it's tyrannical. It's tyrannic. It's it's it's the tyranny of this Wok ideology. 517 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,280 It's it's it horrifies people that it made a choice to work inside these 518 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:52,840 institutions. And Jason, where can people find a copy of the book? 519 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:58,440 You can go to Amazon dot com or wherever you buy books. The Great 520 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:04,400 Campaign against the Great Reset comes out April sixteenth, and you can follow me 521 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,039 at the stream. My podcast is The Jason Jones Show and if you want 522 00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:09,880 to check out our work, Emily, you know, our mission of the 523 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:14,599 Vulnerable People Project is to stand with those people in the world that have been 524 00:43:14,639 --> 00:43:20,079 abandoned. And I was inspired by Ecclesiastes, for one, when Solomon said 525 00:43:20,119 --> 00:43:22,679 I looked all over the world, and all I see is suffering and an 526 00:43:22,679 --> 00:43:27,000 oppression. On the side of the oppressor is power, and on the side 527 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,719 of the oppress there is no one. So as a young soldier, I 528 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,400 said, you know what, I want to spend the rest of my life 529 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:37,840 standing against power and the oppressor. That's what we do at the Great Campaign 530 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:39,440 dot org. And you can see the work we're doing around the world. 531 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,519 Well, God bless you Jason Jones, and thank you so much for joining 532 00:43:43,519 --> 00:43:45,800 the show. Thanks for having me on. You've been listening to another edition 533 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:49,760 of the Federalist Radio Hour. I'm Emily Trishinski, culture editor here at the 534 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,639 Federalists. We'll be back soon with more. Until then, be lovers of 535 00:43:52,679 --> 00:44:06,679 freedom and anxious for the fray. I heard the fame voice the reason and 536 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:12,719 then it faded away. M HM.
