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
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
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
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
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
00:04:00.060
uh no that was canon okay that was just the sounds crazy that that was just the stupid actor
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
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
00:10:36.520
he's just a moron right like who why do we go to athletes and celebrities for opinions on these
00:10:42.880
matters we shouldn't ever this is the thing before social media you never heard the idiot you know
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
00:12:11.740
you know in society because it had jew in the with white people and jewish that crossed the line
00:12:20.320
if it was just white people he probably would have gotten away with it
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
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
