00:00:19.720 of where that might go a big resignation at the new york times today uh in a dramatic fashion

00:00:25.260 a resignation letter uh talking about how this uh once a vaunted newspaper is no longer the place

00:00:32.000 for opinions that challenge the norm uh it's a pretty big deal it develops during the show

00:00:37.140 and we talked to the founder and ceo of gab uh one of the uh alternative uh social networks who is now

00:00:43.520 not only having his company unable to accept money but personally he's unable to spend money

00:01:10.500 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:01:20.980 i want to talk about nick cannon now i am proud to say i don't even know who nick cannon is uh nick cannon

00:01:34.040 apparently a big star uh he's on america has talent or they've got your wasabas or whatever it is

00:01:44.560 they've got talent okay and uh he's wonderful uh formerly married to mariah carey i hear stew

00:01:51.900 yes formerly married to mariah carey used to do a radio show at the same station my wife did uh so 0.98

00:01:57.360 she's met him before and he said he was very nice um but again you know she's she's not jewish so that 0.88

00:02:02.740 may have been the reason why right they had such a nice relationship she is white he seems to have a

00:02:07.680 problem with white people and jewish people so uh apparently um he hosted on his podcast that is all the

00:02:16.540 rage these days with the kids uh he hosted rapper professor griff uh who is who is very anti-semitic and

00:02:25.380 you know has said things like jewish families secretly control the world um and and that also black people 0.65

00:02:32.960 can't be anti-semitic because they're the real semitic people now is he an actual professor

00:02:38.660 do we know if this is coming from an academic background don't think he is i think it's kind

00:02:44.000 of like professor x okay uh who i don't know was a real professor either um he said in order to be

00:02:52.380 anti-semitic i'd have to be an anti-black man anti-black woman anti-black people anti-black africa

00:02:58.320 uh and anti-all other people and i can't be because i'm black and um the real semitic people are black 0.52

00:03:09.640 okay well this sounds kind of like the nation of islam uh and louis farrakhan probably is because

00:03:17.680 he and his his buddy canon seem to really like louis farrakhan um apparently uh they spoke positively

00:03:26.900 of louis farrakhan uh and the nation of islam and canon said when you have a person who has the

00:03:34.240 lack of pigment the lack of melanin uh that they know will be and they know they'll be annihilated

00:03:41.720 therefore they know that however they've got they've got the power they have the lack of compassion

00:03:48.760 because melanin uh comes with compassion i didn't know that did you know that skin pigmentation

00:03:54.060 is also equal to compassion again i would not i would not so the darker you are on this 0.69

00:04:00.060 uh no that was canon okay that was just the sounds crazy that that was just the stupid actor 0.64

00:04:06.040 yeah uh he says uh pigmentation comes with soul that's what we call we call soul brothers and soul

00:04:11.980 sisters um and that's uh melanin and it it it uh connects us to the people that don't have it uh

00:04:21.060 and i'm gonna say this carefully this is what he gets careful i'm gonna say this carefully um uh but

00:04:28.880 um you know they're they're a little less where the term actually comes uh comes from i'm i'm gonna

00:04:35.660 bring it back around to minister farrakhan uh that white people and jewish people just may not have

00:04:41.440 compassion uh when they were sent to the mountains of caucus they didn't have the power of the sun

00:04:47.420 all right well i've got my decoder are you wearing your sun controlling decoder rings too

00:04:53.240 because i've got the power of the sun in my yeah solar power too so it does work that way yeah okay

00:04:58.440 good good yeah right all right so we still have the power to control the sun the sun started to

00:05:03.340 deteriorate them so they were acting out of fear they're acting out of low self-esteem they're acting

00:05:09.340 out of deficiency so the only way they can act is evil they have to rob steal rape kill and fight in

00:05:19.400 order to survive so these uh people and when i say you know these people or when i say we i speak of

00:05:27.360 the melanated people they had to be savages they had to be barbaric because they were in these nordic 1.00

00:05:34.000 mountains uh and they're these rough uh torrential environments so they're acting as animals and

00:05:40.760 they're the ones closer to animals they're the ones who are actually the true savages um i i want to say

00:05:46.640 you know the context when we speak of jewish people white people europeans and the illuminati

00:05:53.640 they're just doing these things as survival tactics to stay on the planet now i didn't know any of that

00:06:00.460 did you know any of that no i i i i um it was a good thing that he was careful because that's a

00:06:07.200 really kind of dicey scientific line that you don't usually like to walk um now

00:06:15.300 he has come out yesterday and responded uh to this uh he said there was no malice or negative intent

00:06:26.540 but in a time like 2020 we've got to have these conversations

00:06:32.380 we do we we have to have those conversations i mean we can uh i think somebody well i don't trust

00:06:42.260 scientists quite very much anymore but maybe somebody with you know a clue that uh racist back in the

00:06:52.500 you know progressive era were saying that pigmentation came with compassion or came with

00:06:58.800 uh intelligence and that's been widely disproven um you know maybe somebody should be in the room that

00:07:05.980 that knows a little something about that but he said i am you know i i didn't mean anything bad by this

00:07:12.360 um and uh you know if there's an assumption that it was perceived as ignorant well then let's debunk

00:07:19.460 it right away oh nick that was so sweet of you he said a few rabbis have reached out since then

00:07:26.200 and uh he said my podcast is specifically an academic podcast uh to have tough and difficult

00:07:34.340 conversations based off of text and when i read something and something's not accurate let's do away

00:07:41.180 with it i can't wait to sit down with some of the people to educate me um you know he said uh and i like

00:07:49.120 this too because this this goes right along with the thinking of black lives matter he said for

00:07:53.840 instance my father i don't agree with everything my father said there's some things that he raised me

00:07:58.760 with that are powerful and i hold on to and some things i'm like i don't agree with none of that

00:08:02.820 uh i can't be responsible for my father's words or actions uh you know or or minister farrakhan

00:08:10.960 uh you know he's been ministering and and saying things that he said that that's his voice in his fight

00:08:17.100 i can only be held accountable for what i've seen and heard and done wow nick now that is a

00:08:23.880 revolutionary thought isn't it it really it's amazing how people internalize these views and

00:08:29.860 then just think they're normal like you know you hear about them your entire life from your friends

00:08:34.820 from your family and then you think oh yeah well everyone knows x y or z is true and and it's not i

00:08:40.340 mean you know we go back to the million man march back in the day i mean this is under lewis farrakhan

00:08:44.480 right and it's like he got it got some mockery from the right because only 400 000 people showed

00:08:50.980 up it's a it's a lot of people i mean there's a lot of people when you see the farrakhan speeches

00:08:57.100 uh when when he gets in trouble on twitter and stuff you look at him it's these are packed venues

00:09:03.460 sometimes that are cheering loudly for these crazy things that he is saying and then we hear about

00:09:09.160 there was one militia member in montana who was planning and it's like all right well this

00:09:15.860 movement never gets any attention except for the positive when they're meeting with congressmen

00:09:20.240 and stuff and you saw this happen with several athletes this past week when the deshaun jackson

00:09:25.680 thing happened then stephen jackson came out and said things uh we have nick cannon now saying the

00:09:30.100 same things like there's there's a there's a real foundation for the farrakhan ideology that goes

00:09:37.420 through these circles uh it seems to be overrepresented in in hollywood and in athletes

00:09:43.160 that believe this stuff i just think it's true and can't and when you say they say it out loud

00:09:47.600 they're actually i think surprised that there's any pushback because when is it when have they ever

00:09:51.360 received it before well um deshaun jackson has received a little bit of uh pushback uh he is

00:10:02.560 he's now i think on his 12 tribe tour where he is meeting with all 12 tribes even the lost tribes

00:10:10.520 uh and uh isn't he going to auschwitz now yes i was very concerned about him when i read that headline

00:10:16.900 i'm like are they sending him there is that where is that where this culture is are we sending people

00:10:21.300 to auschwitz now when they say things that are wrong well let me ask you let me ask you this

00:10:25.840 um was he just a stupid idiot moron or does he actually believe these things my belief is that 0.92

00:10:36.520 he's just a moron right like who why do we go to athletes and celebrities for opinions on these 0.86

00:10:42.880 matters we shouldn't ever this is the thing before social media you never heard the idiot you know 0.91

00:10:48.220 football player's opinion about about the you know the jewish people they just didn't say anything

00:10:54.080 they they asked him about screen passes and fly patterns like that's what they asked him about now

00:10:58.840 they ask they're constantly talking on you know they're on their own with no pr person tweeting

00:11:03.220 quotes from hitler i don't know how he got that far and it's not even hitler he didn't even get it

00:11:08.620 right um you know i think honestly he probably read this it's interesting when you look at the quote

00:11:12.760 he just doesn't i don't think he has any idea he's ever thought about any of these things do i think

00:11:17.120 he's hateful towards jewish people i sincerely doubt it i just doubt he's put any thought into

00:11:21.400 it when you read the quote it has a lot of white person bashing in it and do i believe that deshaun

00:11:27.560 jackson would greek would would tweet a white bashing quote uh and and correctly assume he would get no

00:11:35.420 pushback at about it at all i think that's really possible because that's an acceptable group to just

00:11:40.960 say terrible things about right i mean because it said the way it was worded and it's a it's a fake

00:11:46.260 hitler quote but the way it was worded was like white jews and it said white people a lot throughout

00:11:50.920 it and he probably just mistook it that's not an acceptable excuse but why do we care what deshaun

00:11:55.800 jackson thinks about anything just say who cares you know if you have a chance here to educate him

00:12:00.820 great but that's the end of it to me yeah yeah i i think we should move on from these these

00:12:06.580 imbeciles uh and just think about the people that we can save but i i find it interesting because 0.59

00:12:11.740 you know in society because it had jew in the with white people and jewish that crossed the line 0.97

00:12:20.320 if it was just white people he probably would have gotten away with it 0.97

00:12:24.900 this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:12:30.740 there are a few other people uh that are already paying a very high price that you need to know

00:12:39.980 about andrew torba is the founder of gab um gab he's a christian uh and he wanted just to defend

00:12:49.660 free speech and he saw the rise of censorship and so he started gab and it has a community of

00:12:56.920 4.5 million people from around the world using various alternate uh technology products such as gab

00:13:03.580 social uh the dissenter web browser and people powered news aggregator gab trends well he's run

00:13:10.800 into some problems with that he has not only been um uh shut down and squashed he is being depersoned

00:13:19.360 andrew is here to talk about what is happening and who's doing it to him hi andrew how are you

00:13:25.380 hi glenn i appreciate you having me on sure so now you were banned by both apple and

00:13:33.020 google right and and why was that well they claim that we uh have hate speech on our website which

00:13:42.940 of course as we both know is not a legally defined term in the united states of america the supreme court

00:13:48.560 has unanimously ruled uh that that is uh 100 protected by first amendment on multiple occasions

00:13:56.680 uh so i i'm not sure what they mean by that but it's not only ask source glenn it's also

00:14:01.620 hosting providers it's payment processors it's uh you know basic level of infrastructure required to

00:14:08.880 to run websites such as email services all in all we've been banned from about 25 or so different

00:14:14.680 services and platforms and it's not only the business glenn it's it's also me personally so

00:14:20.060 i've been banned from things like coinbase and things like paypal and um now even visa is is

00:14:27.080 totally blacklisting us it's it's mafia style tactics against us wait so it's not just gab now they are

00:14:36.360 making it impossible for you to do a transaction using any financial service right primarily uh using

00:14:43.460 services like paypal or using services like coinbase i mean you know a lot of these different

00:14:48.400 services have basically you know a monopoly on transacting on the internet so you know 100 of our

00:14:55.680 business right now is being operated by check by mail people are actually writing out physical checks

00:15:01.080 and mailing them to a p.o box uh or bitcoin right so that's what we're relying on right now

00:15:06.220 for our customers because we we cannot process payments on the internet

00:15:09.380 so this is the kind of stuff you're a christian this is the kind of stuff if you don't accept the

00:15:18.360 mark of the beast you're not going to be able to uh do any business you're not going to be able to

00:15:23.660 have you know uh make any transactions you're kind of already starting down this road yes and that's why

00:15:31.240 i you know wrote a very long editorial about this and i'm glad that you and others are talking about

00:15:36.060 this is because i want other christians to be aware of this you know it's we're not too far away glenn

00:15:41.120 from seeing the bible labeled as hate speech and if you are a you know christian website or if you're

00:15:47.340 a church and you want to transact on the internet um i don't think we're too far off from you know

00:15:51.880 seeing exactly what is happening to me happen to all christians on the internet so that's why i'm

00:15:56.760 speaking up about it i mean you bring up you know revelation 13 17 uh you know any man that doesn't

00:16:01.900 have the mark of the beast uh you know isn't allowed to transact not allowed to buy or sell

00:16:06.120 and that's exactly what is happening to me right now and i i do believe that it's largely because i

00:16:11.860 am very outspoken about my faith in christ um and you don't see too many you know uh technology ceos

00:16:18.080 that are very candid and very open about that but i'm i'm very proud of that and uh it's not

00:16:22.580 something that i'm going to hide so i don't know if that has anything to do with it if i had to guess

00:16:26.840 i would say it's a big part of it um but i'm not going to back down um you know like you as you

00:16:31.580 mentioned we have 4.5 million people in our community from around the world from all different

00:16:35.620 backgrounds all different countries all different beliefs um and we just want to preserve and export 0.98

00:16:40.620 uh you know the freedoms that we have here as americans with the first amendment to people all

00:16:46.060 around the world who don't have that that blessing that we have legally here

00:16:49.880 so you you don't you protect free speech so do you allow people to you know national socialists

00:17:00.560 i mean i don't think the national socialists are any worse than the international socialists but

00:17:04.600 do you edit speech at gab we we do not so we do have lines though we don't allow threats of violence

00:17:13.360 uh we don't allow illegal activity we do not allow pornography um you know common sense stuff

00:17:18.640 essentially do not break u.s law on our website um and you know we have people from all different

00:17:24.000 political backgrounds absolutely we have you know people that are support communists and we have

00:17:28.680 people that you know identify as national socialists these people are a very very small minority um and as

00:17:34.960 long as they're not making threats of violence as long as they're not doing anything illegal you know

00:17:39.120 they're allowed to have political discussions um you know there's multiple studies that show that gab is

00:17:44.940 not an echo chamber because we allow this free flow of information and this free flow of discussion

00:17:49.880 and i personally believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant so you know if you have someone that

00:17:55.100 is uh you know a communist the best way to you know convert them over is to to have a conversation

00:18:00.620 with them and highlight the ills of communism for example

00:18:03.580 so what's next for you what what what do you foresee andrew um how are you how are you going to

00:18:15.900 so they they've attacked us at pretty much every possible angle we've spent the past two years

00:18:22.100 building our own infrastructure you know um the left loves to say if you don't like uh silicon valley's

00:18:27.700 rules go and build your own platforms go and build your own website and that's exactly what i did back in

00:18:32.140 2016 little did i know that i would also have to build my own hosting infrastructure i would have

00:18:37.080 to build my own payment processing infrastructure my own email infrastructure and that's exactly what

00:18:41.700 we did so we we built everything in-house it took about two years um but now we're very extremely

00:18:48.520 resilient so there's not many more attack vectors that they can come after us with um i guess unless

00:18:54.080 they get us uh banned from the post office and you know what i wouldn't be surprised at this point

00:18:59.440 are you are you still able to take um donations now that you've built your own uh payment processor

00:19:08.040 can you take donations or will you soon be able to do that and take donation or not donations but

00:19:13.440 subscriptions online yes so we uh unlike you know facebook and twitter we don't sell our users our users

00:19:20.600 are not the product being sold we have an optional subscription service um that is called gab pro that

00:19:27.180 people can upgrade to and unlock additional features on the site um right now we have e-check

00:19:32.520 so you know you can enter in your your routing and your account number and pay us that way you can

00:19:37.260 write us uh an actual physical check and mail it to our p.o box or you can use bitcoin um so those

00:19:42.360 three options are are the only options that we have unfortunately we cannot accept debit or credit

00:19:47.160 card because what's happening is someone from visa and we've been told this from multiple payment

00:19:51.780 processors is that someone from visa is sitting on our site waiting for us to get a processor up

00:19:56.620 as soon as we do they contact that processor and they threaten them with heavy fines unless they

00:20:01.180 unless they remove us so obviously the processor doesn't want to incur those heavy fines and uh and

00:20:06.560 they end up removing us so we literally have again mafia style tactics here with someone at visa

00:20:11.460 sitting on our site and and watching for us to get a new processor and then immediately you know

00:20:16.220 basically threatening them and attacking them unless they remove us so you know we do have several

00:20:20.540 why would they do that well i'm not i'm not dismissing i know they're doing it but why would

00:20:27.000 they do that well because we're growing like crazy and uh we don't have any dependence on

00:20:32.420 corporate advertisers you see um you know this boycott of facebook advertisers so they're going

00:20:37.280 after facebook's you know cash cow which is advertisers we don't have that problem we're fully

00:20:41.940 funded by our users so you know they just don't want our users to be able to support us and pay us

00:20:46.520 because we've been growing like crazy our traffic is up you know 22 percent month over month um you

00:20:51.920 know we had our best month ever for revenue despite being uh you know blacklisted by visa and not being

00:20:56.960 able to accept credit cards so we're growing and and um you know they don't like that the the powers

00:21:02.340 that be don't like that and they want it to stop so that's why we're we're under attack is because we

00:21:06.740 offer a viable alternative to facebook and to twitter and to uh all these uh you know big tech uh tyrants that

00:21:13.920 that are silencing americans and people all over the world all right so your website is gab.com gab.com

00:21:22.040 um you might want to check it out uh for yourself i am uh i'm warning you that uh all of us are going

00:21:30.600 to be in this situation if uh we don't change our ways uh soon um but uh he is a head of the uh head of

00:21:39.980 the game and andrew i wish you the best of luck and if there's anything we can do to help you we

00:21:45.180 stand behind you uh 100 we don't have to even agree other than we agree in the bill of rights that

00:21:51.380 everybody has a right to their opinion of right to speak out and and be heard in the public square

00:21:57.980 that doesn't mean they have the right to be uh endorsed or even uh claimed to be accurate but they

00:22:04.860 have a right uh to say it and only the speech that we all despise is the speech that needs protecting

00:22:11.980 thank you so much for doing that andrew i appreciate it thank you glenn god bless

00:22:15.780 this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:22:21.020 stew we were just talking about uh covid um your feeling on the covid thing because i just i keep

00:22:32.480 going back and forth we talked to a doctor yesterday and he said it does more damage to

00:22:37.580 keep people at home uh than it's going to save well he said all these restrictions are are not

00:22:45.380 scientifically backed at all anymore i'm fascinated by the fact that like you know they keep saying

00:22:49.360 like oh these red states are responsible for the spread when they also say it's all kids at bars

00:22:54.160 it's like well the 23 year old of bar is not a republican voter that's a democratic voter

00:23:00.060 that's not red state fault that's blue states inside of red states
