Just a few months after the COVID-19 pandemic swept across the world and prompted governments to impose draconian lockdowns, a group of global elites introduced what is known as the Global Reset.
Championed by the World Economic Forum—host of the posh Davos, Switzerland, meeting for the jet-setting crowd—ideas connected to the Great Reset were embraced by the likes of President Joe Biden, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and King Charles III.
“We need nothing short of a paradigm shift, one that inspires action at revolutionary levels and pace,” then-Prince Charles said in a video launching the project in June 2020. “We simply cannot waste any more time—the only limit is our willingness to act, and the time to act is now.”
What exactly is the Great Reset? And how would it radically transform our civilization as we know it? Michael Walsh, editor of “Against the Great Reset: Eighteen Theses Contra the New World Order,” answers those questions and more. Walsh, a novelist, author, longtime contributor to Time, and founding editor of Breitbart, assembled an all-star lineup of authors to produce the book.

On Friday, federal authorities issued an internal bulletin that warned of the potential for violence from domestic extremists during the midterm election season.
The same day, a federal Judge in Phoenix refused to stop a group from patrolling outdoor ballot boxes. Members of the group have been showing up heavily armed, often masked and wearing tactical vests. Critics say this is intimidating voters. The judge said that barring the group would violate their constitutional rights.
From election deniers who continue to insist without evidence that the 2020 election was stolen, to a flood of recent state laws that make voting more difficult, for many Americans, voting feels much more fraught. But volunteers are stepping up across the country to make sure that all voters feel safe casting their ballot.
Host Michel Martin talks to the Reverend Barbara Williams-Skinner of Faiths United to Save Democracy and TurnOut Sunday and Emily Eby, Senior Election Protection Attorney at Texas Civil Rights Project.
This episode has been produced and edited by Michele Musso. Our executive producer is Jared Schwartz. Our theme song is by Matt Wigton “Angeles Crest.”

The legal sports betting industry has really taken off in the last few years, ever since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a ban. A recent Pew Research Center survey found about 1 in 5 U.S. adults say they’ve bet money on sports in the last year and the majority of states have now legalized some form of sports betting. What are the potential benefits and consequences of this type of gambling?
We’re getting two interesting perspectives today. Later, you’ll hear from Mike Raffensperger, an executive at one of the biggest players in the sports betting world: FanDuel. But first, you’ll hear from Dr. Timothy Fong, an addiction psychiatrist and the co-director of the Gambling Studies Program at UCLA.
