What's Happening at the Southern Border? | A New Element of the Great Reset is Revealed

·59 min·4 clips

Alex Jones says the border is not broken; it is a catapult, cannon, and magnet.

Alex Sackin opens by placing the episode inside his ongoing current-events coverage. He says he has recently been focused on Israel and Gaza, but is now turning toward the U.S. border. That shift is not presented as a hard break. He treats it as part of the same broader inquiry. He links the border question to the Middle East and to what he calls the Great Reset. He says he has gathered clips from multiple sources for the discussion, and that he will play them and comment as he goes. The episode unfolds as a guided sequence rather than one long uninterrupted argument. Sackin also points listeners toward his Instagram and Substack, where he says he has been curating related material. He describes those posts as part of a broader story about the conflict and its next phases. From there, the conversation turns to migration, enforcement, and compliance. He offers a possible rationale in which the system rewards obedience and punishes refusal. He then moves into a wider analogy about what happens when a border is not simply opened, but pushed harder and faster. The image becomes one of an engine being driven beyond normal limits. He contrasts an ordinary road closure with a version of the road that has no law on it and can be driven at extreme speed. In his telling, the border is not a passive boundary. It is a delivery system, a funnel, a cannon, and a launch point. He emphasizes that arriving migrants receive plane tickets, a debit card, money, legal help, and other services. He also points to the backpacks and bags that appear in the clips, using that detail to reinforce his point about organized movement. He argues that the border debate is already behind what he sees on the ground. People are still debating whether the border is broken when, in his view, it has already been turned into something else. Near the end, he steps back from policy language and shifts into a more symbolic register. He says the whole case study is also about the shadow and the fight with the shadow. The closing movement ties the political material back to a broader moral and psychological frame. The episode then ends with his sign-off, including references to his website, Substack, membership page, book, and merchandise.

As heard by us

A border debate that keeps widening into a larger theory of control.

Alex Sackin uses a border-policy debate to make a wider point about control and political power. The episode moves in a layered way, shifting between isolated clips, commentary, and interpretation, while treating the border less as a simple line than as part of a larger system.
