This isn't a cooking show, all right, but we're going to do it anyway because neither of us speak Hezbollah-nays, although we've had it on, I've had it on rib and pasta.
00:00:14.240
But one of the guys that's on the show, he apparently speaks Hezbollah or Hezbollah-nays, and there was a big conference that was happening, a big, big press conference.
00:00:25.260
Thousands of people came out. They wanted to hear from their supreme leader about what does Allah tell them to do?
00:00:32.340
Should we go kill Jews now, or should we do it a little while later?
00:00:35.840
We have that update for you, as well as an incredible story about year zero.
00:00:45.440
That's happened a few times in the arrogance of people, like during the French Revolution or with Mao.
00:00:54.120
Well, the leaders just declare it's year zero, and everything else doesn't matter in history.
00:01:03.000
And that's what's happening in America with including the birds, the bird names.
00:01:11.760
You don't want to miss a second of today's podcast, brought to you by Jace Medical.
00:01:23.380
It used to just be like duck sauce packets, and I was like, I could live off those for a while.
00:01:29.340
But now I have kids, so I am a little bit better prepared. Not as good as you.
00:01:35.960
I mean, you know, I think compared to the average American, I would say yes.
00:01:40.780
That would mean that you have duck sauce and soy sauce.
00:01:45.860
It's not even the packets anymore, I have the bottle.
00:01:51.340
Wow, so you've got, you've got a, you've got a lot going for you.
00:01:59.260
Jace Medical is the one thing that I have not been able to figure out until Jace Medical approached me.
00:02:04.860
I haven't been able to figure out how do I keep the medications going for my family.
00:02:09.260
My family is, you know, you know, my kids will take antidepressant.
00:02:18.200
If you have somebody who is diabetic, how are you going to survive if the supply chain, or God forbid, something worse went wrong?
00:02:36.260
You'll go online, fill out a form, you get a prescription, life-saving medications delivered right to your door, up to a year's worth of your medication.
00:02:57.680
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:03:09.140
Yesterday, Russia's Wagner Group said they were going to supply Hezbollah with air defense, so that's good.
00:03:17.300
Now, Hezbollah is making a major announcement, even as we speak.
00:03:21.560
I don't speak Hezbollahese, so I don't know what they're saying, but we'll get the translation here in about a half an hour.
00:03:27.860
But they're making a major announcement in the Middle East.
00:03:32.520
I think they're going to reverse themselves on gay marriage.
00:03:42.680
So that way they can behead both of the participants in the gay marriage.
00:03:48.040
If you want to get married, but you're not gay, but you want to be gay married, you can do that.
00:03:58.780
The only ones that exist are queers for Palestine.
00:04:10.220
So we don't know what they're going to announce, but we'll get to that here in a second.
00:04:20.480
And Pat, I would like you to play color to our sports commentary here.
00:04:25.880
And I know we're, you know, but you know sports.
00:04:30.260
This is a supermarket where some shoplifter is trying to get out of the store.
00:04:46.200
We've got a security guard now playing defense as a shoplifter attempts to leave the store,
00:04:51.620
utilizing a shopping cart as sort of a barrier here as it is an interesting maneuver, shuffling
00:05:03.120
That appeared to be another shopper who fired a two liter bottle of Coke at the head of the
00:05:22.120
Do you know how many backup quarterbacks are playing in the NFL this week?
00:05:30.280
Now, I thought it would be better if we ran this video with a little music behind it because
00:05:37.580
it reminded me of something and I thought, you know what?
00:06:00.400
And I think we should all maybe consider carrying around a two liter jug of Coke.
00:06:06.640
I love how he throws it, knocks the guy completely out, and then just calmly walks off.
00:06:16.160
Tell me, though, this story does not end with the shopper who threw the Coke bottle in charge.
00:06:28.160
If it's in Texas, the guy will get a parade with the Rangers.
00:06:40.020
One other thing that I've gotten, and I'd love to hear anything you have.
00:06:50.800
Sabo is the street artist in Los Angeles who is, well, he's conservative.
00:07:04.200
And so here are the latest from him, the street designs that he has.
00:07:12.400
It's a stop sign that he has now put Joe Biden sniffing the hair of a girl with the word stop.
00:07:33.140
You know, the interstate highway sign, the red, white, and blue one.
00:07:37.600
And then Exodus East with a little U-Haul sticker on it.
00:07:44.240
Then we have this one, World War III, full metal jack something that's blurred out.
00:07:53.760
But it has Joe Biden's stupid face with a Hezbo.
00:08:00.720
He's wearing a helmet with a Hezbollah banner around it or scarf and a Ukraine flag on it.
00:08:09.600
And then the people parachuting in BLM loves Hamas.
00:08:14.580
Now, if you happen to be really offended by the Hamas thing, do we have the Hamas one first?
00:08:21.440
He hung these from the signs or from the stop signs or stoplights all across Los Angeles.
00:08:30.720
They are BLM loves Hamas paratroopers or the guys, you know, that are paragliders coming in.
00:08:39.680
Those, he said, were the first to be taken down at sunlight.
00:08:54.560
And then, of course, this is the first time it's been seen on the street.
00:08:58.480
We have we have T-shirts and sweatshirts for this.
00:09:02.220
It is the Trump, the Trump, what do you call it?
00:09:08.080
A booking photo with a little help from from Sabo.
00:09:18.000
You can find these at Glenn Beck dot com and you can find the corn pop stuff also at Glenn Beck dot com.
00:09:29.340
So, Pat, what was the thing that you felt this week needed to be discussed and is not going to bring us down on a Friday?
00:09:40.480
So there was no there was no topic that won't bring you.
00:09:49.320
I am flabbergasted at the administration and how they're trying to play both both sides.
00:10:01.640
It's they're only playing both sides as long as they have to.
00:10:05.660
That they will go over to the Hamas Palestinian side.
00:10:09.820
And the the amazing thing, though, is how many people have openly already jumped in to the Palestinian side, the Hamas side, the anti-Jewish side.
00:10:27.000
Remember the book that I told you guys about the diary?
00:10:31.380
The read the diary from the guy, the German in World War Two.
00:10:34.580
He talks about that because I've said you will understand what's coming and where we are in the process if you read this book, because he's basically writing a diary.
00:10:46.680
He gets to this point to where his friends, who he thought were normal just a week ago, are coming in and saying these damn Jews have all got to go.
00:11:01.820
And he said it happened overnight and it happened overnight here.
00:11:06.540
All of a sudden, people, you know, people that you you hear on TV and on the streets are are quoting Adolf Hitler.
00:11:17.040
I mean, it's been bubbling inside of them the whole time.
00:11:22.280
No, it's it's safe for them now, apparently, to let it out.
00:11:26.760
It's why I have been talking about anti-Semitism.
00:11:32.580
Have you seen the the film from Restoring Courage?
00:11:52.640
I mean, it is it's remarkable because as I'm watching it, I'm thinking to myself, why did I write those words?
00:12:06.340
And we were like and I and I just felt like it's important to say these things.
00:12:21.140
Everything that I'm saying, you know, it was crazy.
00:12:25.640
I'm like, you know, you're going to be in the minority, but you have to stand up.
00:12:32.900
If they're going to say we're coming for the Jews, you have to stand up and say, then count me as a Jew.
00:12:40.360
I talked about how the world will go insane and they'll all all of the world, including our government, will start to stand up against the Jew.
00:13:07.320
I looked at that young, healthy man there, you know, at the lowest weight he had been in since, you know, high school.
00:13:28.120
They took me out because I was writing the speech and David Barton walks in and David said, hey, Glenn, how you doing?
00:13:38.120
And then I just collapsed on the floor and I was out for a while.
00:13:40.640
I wake up and everybody is around me, security and everybody's around me.
00:13:45.800
And they're strapping me to a, you know, a, what do you call it?
00:13:52.600
And they're picking me up and they're going to take me out.
00:13:55.400
And I'm hearing them on the phone with the prime minister's office and they're saying he can't go to a regular hospital.
00:14:04.220
He can't, he can't, we can't have this come out.
00:14:07.120
It will be really bad for the event, blah, blah, blah.
00:14:09.500
They took me through the back stairs of this hospital because I couldn't use the elevator.
00:14:16.680
I get into this ambulance and they take me to a, this hospital to a underground bunker hospital that is used for the prime minister.
00:14:27.340
If there's anybody in the military or anybody in the, um, uh, the, uh, government that is hurt or, you know, there's any kind of problems going on with, you know, terrorism.
00:14:43.440
And I go in and I just see the ceiling of this place and it's completely dark.
00:14:48.300
And I'm like, what the, where are you guys taking me?
00:14:51.320
And they turn on the lights and then all of a sudden from the hospital, a whole bunch of people come down.
00:15:01.120
Today they would have had to get you out of there with a crane, but, uh, fortunately that wasn't the case back then.
00:15:10.420
Uh, wouldn't it be nice to let, and you brought me cookies yesterday.
00:15:19.780
If you have not had Pat's wife's cookies, they're unbelievable.
00:15:27.380
I told, I told my wife, no, I mean that in a good way.
00:15:31.520
Unlike the one that rhymes when I talk about you.
00:15:41.440
Uh, so, uh, I told, I told Tanya, I said, we are sending only Kexi cookies to, you know,
00:15:48.680
cause we usually will send, you know, fruit basket or flowers or something.
00:16:02.420
So you have, it's the only cookie that I recommend you eat with a spoon.
00:16:09.940
Not that I had one, honey, while you were gone.
00:16:35.760
He is the co-author of The Great Reset and Dark Future, both of my New York Times bestselling
00:16:41.840
books, and also Research Center Director for the Heartland Institute Socialism Research
00:17:04.300
Bob is the Florida State Representative who has been fighting against ESG in Florida.
00:17:16.060
As you know, back when we put The Great Reset book together, and we realized that ESG
00:17:25.020
And you and I thought, this is pretty depressing because no one's going to do anything about
00:17:29.640
We were convinced no one was going to do anything about it.
00:17:32.500
Then the book came out, and states across the country started enacting various ways of
00:17:40.360
But in many of those cases, we've had 14 different states that have put some kind of anti-ESG legislation
00:17:46.720
Most of them are focused on making sure that government pensions and government contracts
00:17:59.700
But if you really want to protect people, you have to protect consumers.
00:18:06.080
And the only place where they have actually enacted a law that does this, that protects
00:18:11.040
financial individuals from financial institutions promoting ESG, is in the state of Florida.
00:18:16.780
And Bob Rommel, who's here with us today in the studio, is the champion of that cause.
00:18:31.160
I don't know why more states won't protect the consumer.
00:18:38.120
It's the little person when they go to try to get a loan.
00:18:41.760
You know, the farmer that tries to go get a loan and he's rejected because he's not doing
00:18:50.700
And that consumer will never be told it was because of ESG.
00:19:01.300
I don't know if anybody's ever called me a champion, but thank you.
00:19:05.580
As an ex-banker, I know that if you control the capital, you make all the rules and you
00:19:13.100
And I started looking at ESG, some of the ESG rules that some people were telling me about
00:19:19.300
And then the incoming speaker, I told him about, we have to do something about this in Florida.
00:19:25.560
To me, it's just another form of discrimination.
00:19:28.860
And as an ex-banker, when we did mortgages for folks, you know, we couldn't discriminate
00:19:38.240
They got mortgages based on their ability to pay and their income, period.
00:19:46.820
And you always, when the government messes with our banks and tells them that you have
00:19:55.260
to consider other things, it creates a system that is false.
00:20:04.440
That was the United States government telling banks, you have to make more loans in these
00:20:13.680
But the government was demanding the banks do it.
00:20:16.540
You know, and luckily that we had in Florida, we had a speaker and we had a governor that
00:20:22.380
wanted to do something because the pushback was huge and it was pushed back on multiple
00:20:28.140
So Democrats, and I believe it was a Democrat that came up with ESG.
00:20:31.620
They're great at coming up with these new words and these new terminology.
00:20:35.160
So the first thing is environment, you know, environment.
00:20:38.780
So listen, everybody wants clean water, clean air.
00:20:41.840
So they said, well, we have to do this to save the environment because if not, we're all
00:20:47.600
And I don't know if anybody's listening, but we're all going to die eventually anyway.
00:20:52.860
So then the social governance and I go, what is social governance?
00:20:58.140
And, and if you, you know, you can look at a couple of the greatest American iconic companies
00:21:03.560
in a world that social governance has destroyed their, you know, value of their companies.
00:21:15.280
And so me as a business person, whenever I hired somebody, I hired the best, the brightest
00:21:24.640
And I never looked at their race or, you know, or their political beliefs.
00:21:32.860
Our country was built on access to capital and people like Thomas Edison.
00:21:44.820
And, you know, we can, we can debate whether that was the best technology or not, but we
00:21:50.000
need to make sure that the next inventors have access to capital.
00:21:53.680
So whatever the next great invention that's going to help civilization is available.
00:21:58.580
And when I saw what was happening, a friend of mine has a multinational company and he
00:22:02.920
was telling me a worksheet that he would have to fill out to get capital and it had nothing
00:22:09.380
It was based on how many transgender people do you have working here?
00:22:14.740
What are you using to mitigate your carbon footprint?
00:22:23.160
And in Florida, we wanted to make sure we did something to protect our citizens.
00:22:26.800
So now does, does this actually, if I'm a citizen and I go to a bank and I feel they've judged
00:22:32.820
me on ESG, does this cover me as a citizen of Florida?
00:22:37.800
So there's no doubt that the law and they're going to challenge it.
00:22:42.860
We highly suspect banks are going to fight this because they don't, they wanted to be
00:22:49.900
And they're being pushed by the left and big asset managers.
00:22:52.120
But yes, that's what the law is designed to do.
00:22:54.620
The law is designed to make sure that if you are being discriminated against, that you have
00:22:59.300
an ability to file a complaint with the government so that the government makes sure that that
00:23:06.120
Now, one of the problems that we have, and Rep.
00:23:08.460
Rommel is trying to address this going forward, is how do we even know that that's what's going
00:23:17.300
The bank might just deny you the loan and never tell you why.
00:23:20.100
And so we need to figure out a way to make sure that people know why they're being
00:23:24.440
denied access to bank accounts and things like that.
00:23:26.420
So do you want to talk a little bit about that plan that you have?
00:23:33.060
And we had a tremendous amount of pushback and pushback from people I didn't even understand
00:23:39.620
Matter of fact, one of the second in charge of BlackRock came to visit me, the commerce
00:23:48.660
He goes, oh, he seems like you're more of a libertarian.
00:24:01.480
And he was talking about, this is just free market business.
00:24:07.080
And I said, did you fly down here to visit me on a private plane?
00:24:11.160
Matter of fact, I go, did you pick the most diverse pilot or did you pick the best pilot?
00:24:18.020
I go, if you truly believe in this stuff, you'll make the most diverse pilot.
00:24:26.060
This is about you controlling the markets, controlling capital, controlling people, making people have fewer decisions and maybe buying some bad technology.
00:24:38.520
The banks came back to me and said, oh, you're interfering with us.
00:24:42.360
But, you know, they were all, you know, it's so bad.
00:24:44.880
This banking, it's a cartel that they have going against, you know, against our representatives and our legislatures in America.
00:24:54.520
This cartel comes in so heavy handed with loads of money and credibility and tries to stop people like you.
00:25:02.880
You know, and we had to be careful the way you crafted the bill because if you use ESG as a form of scoring, you won't be able to, you know, issue Florida bonds.
00:25:12.180
You won't be able to access to qualified public deposits or pension funds.
00:25:16.000
But we also had to make sure that if everybody did it, we were able to write checks in the state of Florida to pay our bills.
00:25:22.280
So there was a balance there and we had to make sure that there was other access.
00:25:27.900
There's not quite enough for $300 billion in local community banks.
00:25:34.100
But over the summer, one of our local businesses in Florida, Dr. McCall, who owns a very big supermarket, but he also owns a multinational natural health vitamin company.
00:25:44.660
And over the summer, I get a call from one of his representatives.
00:25:52.320
And he said, well, all of the managers and multiple employees from the Mercola markets been debanked.
00:26:00.200
Their bank, which was JPMorgan Chase, gave them letters and say, find new banks.
00:26:09.500
How rare, because I'd never heard of being debanked before, unless you were like Al Capone.
00:26:21.120
I would think never because banks wanted you to keep your money and your non-interest-bearing accounts and pay late fees and things like that to earn income.
00:26:28.480
So we looked into it a little bit, and I talked to their rep, and they said, well, Bob, he could be doing money laundering or some suspicious activity, and by the law, we're obligated to debank them.
00:26:43.780
And they couldn't tell me because I'm not authorized to hear this information.
00:26:48.440
And again, the state of Florida, if you're running arms or fentanyl, we don't want you banking either.
00:26:54.740
But we also believe in due process in the state of Florida.
00:26:57.900
I don't trust you as the bank, and I don't trust you as some federal agency to say, this person needs to be debanked.
00:27:05.660
Because I remember Operation Chokehold when they told payday loans and arms dealers, I think that was, you know.
00:27:14.320
Obama era 2013, Operation Chokepoint, that you can't do any banking business.
00:27:20.300
So I don't trust the federal government agencies, and I don't trust the banks that are colluding with ESG, with our federal agencies, to bank them.
00:27:28.640
So what I'm going to try to do this year, assuming it's passed, that if you're a bank and you debank one of our Florida citizens, a business or an individual, first of all, you're going to have to tell Florida.
00:27:39.100
You're going to have to tell the Division of Financial Services, hey, I debanked Dr. Mercola, and this is why I did it.
00:27:46.180
Then we as a state, keep it in private, we'll investigate.
00:27:50.420
If we felt that you did it in bad faith, well, we're going to fine you, and you're not going to do business in Florida.
00:27:55.440
And then the individual that was harmed, we're going to allow them to have a private right of action against that bank.
00:28:09.700
By the way, this is, what is it, fair access is what it is.
00:28:15.020
There are many states that have passed now anti-ESG laws, but it is fair access that gives the power to the individual to be able to get the information and to sue if it is, if it's wrong information or based on ESG.
00:28:34.500
So let me ask you, what was the name of the bank that debanked this guy?
00:28:45.460
And I believe JP Morgan Chase is one of the organizations that flagged the Treasury on money laundering for Hunter Biden.
00:29:06.160
You should ask them, did you debank Hunter Biden when you suspected money laundering?
00:29:18.500
Unless they did, and that's why Hunter can't pay his child support.
00:29:23.980
So what do people need to do to make sure that next year we sew this up?
00:29:28.440
The biggest thing is that state lawmakers, their representatives all across the country, they need to understand that ESG is a huge problem.
00:29:40.240
It's maybe the biggest problem facing the average citizen in America right now.
00:29:44.780
The problem is going to get bigger because in Europe, they're about to make ESG mandatory, and they're going to drag a whole bunch of American companies into the mix, and they're going to be beholden to Europe's ESG system.
00:29:56.480
They will have to live ESG here if they want to do business elsewhere.
00:30:00.560
And the only thing worse than ESG is ESG created by Europeans.
00:30:05.360
That's the only thing that could make it worse, right?
00:30:07.520
And so what we need to do is make sure that there are protections for individuals.
00:30:15.440
It can't just be on environment issues or fossil fuels.
00:30:20.040
But we need to have protections for the individual person.
00:30:23.100
And if your state is not doing that, then they are not looking out for you.
00:30:28.360
And you are going to be a victim of this eventually because there is just way too much money and planning and power behind it, as we've shown in the last two books that we did on this topic.
00:30:38.720
You guys are at you're over at the legislative conference, aren't you?
00:30:47.140
And we're actually presenting together very briefly a little bit later.
00:30:50.460
So I'm glad that you're now learning that this is happening.
00:30:55.540
And I'm like, I don't know what I'm going to talk about today.
00:31:03.480
Anyway, the pro-family legislative conference is happening.
00:31:06.700
There are about 200 pro-family lawmakers that are in town.
00:31:12.520
And all weekend long, I'd ask for you to pray for them.
00:31:16.000
These people, like Bob, are really, I mean, they are on the edge and standing up for the
00:31:24.020
They take bullets in the back, in the side, in the front, all of the time.
00:31:28.620
They are looking for pro-life legislation, protecting women's sports.
00:31:37.060
Yeah, it started last night, but today's the first full day of programming and stuff.
00:31:40.420
I wish I could be there for the artificial intelligence thing and the digital dollar.
00:31:45.940
So you know all about what I think on those issues.
00:31:57.120
Have you guys decided what's going to happen if, well, eventually, Ron DeSantis cannot run
00:32:04.740
again for another term, so whether he becomes president or whether he just terms out, is
00:32:12.880
Is it him, or have you guys written enough into the laws that it can't be changed?
00:32:21.960
None of it's really executive order in Florida.
00:32:26.040
If we pass it, and he signs it, it's law of, you know, states are different than the federal
00:32:31.720
And I know you were just talking about, you know, pro-family stuff.
00:32:37.940
We already did boys don't play in girls' sports.
00:32:41.520
And last year, for education, we had the education savings account, but basically gives every
00:32:46.480
single child a voucher to go to any school they want.
00:32:49.900
And Florida, we rank third in K-12 education now.
00:33:05.840
And we've got one Republican, the Speaker of the House here in Texas, standing against
00:33:18.000
It's time for another episode of Everything is Racist.
00:33:35.060
We're going into the Pandaverse now as we are looking at or anthology.
00:33:43.440
Glenn, I hope you know that a lot of the familiar names you know from birding.
00:34:02.940
But that's a little different than the typical birder.
00:34:06.320
But you're going to have to say goodbye to some very familiar bird names.
00:34:22.820
That one sounds like we shouldn't talk about it.
00:34:39.460
How many times have you been like, oh, look, it's Bullock's Aureole right over there?
00:34:52.080
Well, apparently these are going to go away because of the American Orenthological Society.
00:34:59.600
To change the English names of all bird species currently named after people, along with any other bird names
00:35:15.140
It's apparently about human beings, as they discussed in the article at length.
00:35:17.560
So, is this happening all over the world, in every language?
00:35:33.620
Now, there have also band names that were named after, like, Native American tribes.
00:35:43.120
Even though they approved of it, about 90% of the people in the tribe approved of it.
00:35:48.600
So, this move comes as a part of a broader effort to diversify birding and make it more
00:35:55.080
welcoming to people of all races and backgrounds.
00:35:57.340
I have to tell you, because you know me, I'm one with the hood.
00:36:16.060
And I say to myself, Lizzo, have you thought about, perhaps, bird watching?
00:36:39.800
You just go out with all of the stuff that you might get from the orientalical society.
00:36:50.340
And she said to me, and this is a quote, birding is too racist.
00:37:04.120
And she said, I don't think I have to to you, Glenn.
00:37:14.600
We have contemporaneous notes backing that up in case anyone's questioning it.
00:37:21.020
Like, a lot of, there's a lot of people who are sitting around and they're just like, you know, I'd love to get into birding.
00:37:26.460
But I find the name Lewis's Woodpecker to be a little offensive.
00:37:35.360
Because there's, you know, there's never been an African American.
00:37:44.840
No, because Lewis's Woodpecker put a hole in the barn.
00:37:59.720
Are there a lot of people that go through this process that are like, I just, you know.
00:38:02.520
Because there's never been an African American name with the last name of Lewis.
00:38:18.600
So biologist Erica Knoll says she was recently visiting some salt marshes.
00:38:24.120
Now, I know you have a timeshare near a salt marsh that you visit often.
00:38:29.600
And she saw a common bird there that's called Wilson's snipe.
00:38:33.100
Now, as you know, there's also never been an African American with the last name Wilson.
00:38:41.860
So, which this bird has a long bill and engages in dramatic displays such as flying in high
00:38:48.640
circles, which produces a whistling sound as air flows over specialized feathers.
00:39:10.980
And this biologist says, quote, and I thought, what a terrible name.
00:39:16.440
I mean, Wilson was the father of modern ornithology.
00:39:21.900
But this bird has so many other evocative characteristics.
00:39:25.620
You know, I mean, I think when I think of the guy who founded modern ornithology, when
00:39:51.440
Number one, they're they're calling the bird names racist and acting like, you know, some
00:40:14.260
A little annoying if it's around your house, but a beautiful bird.
00:40:22.160
Secondary part of this, which is ridiculous, is they're not just targeting because I guess
00:40:26.820
there have been some of these people who named birds who also were around in the 1880s
00:40:31.320
and made racial racial remarks or did something terrible.
00:40:35.260
So but they're not just targeting those people.
00:40:37.460
I mean, if it's if it's like Sherman's N word, I get it.
00:40:53.560
But like this has happened all across the country at this point.
00:40:57.060
They're tearing down statues of freaking Ben Franklin.
00:40:59.920
But these guys are not they're not necessarily bad guys.
00:41:03.780
They're not targeting only people who have done things that could be deemed offensive
00:41:10.020
They're because Tom Tom's Blue Jay Tom's Blue Jay Tom was a badass guy.
00:41:15.660
He knocked over a few of the Southland Corporation's best 7-Elevens.
00:41:23.560
But they're targeting anyone, any name, any if you're named after a person, they're getting
00:41:30.560
So even if you're the best person around the world, just the American or anthological
00:41:46.440
The president, Colleen Handel, says that was the first I'd ever really recognize or heard
00:41:53.160
She says at that point in time, concerns about injustice weren't a traditionally accepted
00:42:00.560
But it really started to change in 2020 when police officer killed George Floyd in Minneapolis.
00:42:13.420
Wait, that's when the birders said enough of this.
00:42:18.560
Enough of the Wilson snipe and the Lewis's woodpecker because George Floyd has been killed
00:42:24.740
Now you might say, well, what the hell does that have to do with anything?
00:42:29.340
No, I might say, produce one birder that said that.
00:42:37.660
But the issue is it was not really George Floyd's murder.
00:42:42.820
Because on that same day, and you may remember, you may forget that this was the exact same
00:43:05.320
He was a guy who was in the bushes watching, maybe looking for Lewis's woodpecker.
00:43:13.940
She called, she called the police claiming he was threatening her.
00:43:26.500
Less than a month later, a group called Bird Names for Birds.
00:43:46.000
Imagine going door to door trying to get people to go into.
00:43:48.480
Uh, we, uh, we represent the Bird Names for Birds Club.
00:43:56.060
They write to the American Orenthological Society and say, hey, George Floyd was killed.
00:44:02.300
This birder was, the police were called by a white woman on this black birder.
00:44:08.140
Therefore, we should get rid of Wilson's name from Wilson's snipe.
00:44:13.700
Now, the problem with the story, if you remember, it was called the Central Park Karen story.
00:44:19.380
And the main issue with this part of it is the story has been utterly and completely debunked.
00:44:29.960
No, there, well, not, maybe not utterly, completely.
00:44:32.400
But the black birder did exist, is a human being.
00:44:35.540
But there's a lot of details you probably haven't heard about.
00:44:38.320
So, if you remember how this story went down, here's a couple headlines.
00:44:43.080
A black man bird watching in Central Park asked a white woman to leash her dog.
00:44:53.360
She was charged with, in Central Park, false report against a black bird watcher.
00:45:17.220
So, let me give you the footage of this incident, because you'll remember it when you hear it.
00:45:23.320
This is Amy Cooper being very frantic and insane.
00:45:54.300
I'm going to tell them there's an African-American man threatening my life.
00:45:58.560
I'm sorry, I'm in a ramble, and there's a man, African-American, who has a bicycle home with.
00:46:02.900
He's recording me and threatening me and my dog.
00:46:07.660
There is an African-American man, I am in Central Park.
00:46:10.760
He's recording me and threatening myself and my dog.
00:46:29.140
He seems like he's under control and a nice guy.
00:46:33.500
It's two New Yorkers that are just probably a little nuts.
00:46:41.140
I mean, to take you back to this moment, though, in all seriousness, New York City around May 2020 was pretty freaking nuts.
00:46:49.940
This is like, this is like very beginning of COVID.
00:46:53.600
And, you know, we can all look back at some of the hysteria then, you know, with certainly noticing how ridiculous it was.
00:47:00.760
Oh, that's probably why she, in her twisted New York way, said he's threatening my life because she was saying, don't come closer to me.
00:47:12.100
She was predisposed to being more affected to COVID.
00:47:18.440
And a lot of people in New York at that point were very terrified.
00:47:26.120
She was a white woman who called police on Black Birdwatcher has been fired.
00:47:35.900
And she actually went into hiding, left the country and went into hiding after this.
00:47:43.460
So let's just say for a minute she is a racist and she did this.
00:47:47.040
You wouldn't necessarily think you'd have to leave the country, but she was being threatened by people.
00:47:55.140
When we come back on the other side, I want to give you the actual perspective of what occurred in this incident because nobody knows.
00:48:06.080
Racist white Karen going after this black guy for absolutely no reason.
00:48:21.260
I'm glad maybe she's out of the country, but for entirely different reasons.
00:48:26.280
I mean, oh, gee, we lost another New Yorker who was walking their dog in the park who was wearing a mask and all freaked out about going inside.
00:48:36.160
But I don't, I mean, I'd like her to move away in happy terms.
00:48:43.280
Well, I mean, I don't, as far as I know, she's not even a member of Bird Names for Birds.
00:49:00.040
Concerns about the honorific common bird names is not new.
00:49:15.520
So they're very upset about Bachman Sparrow is the first one they bring.
00:49:22.760
Bachman was a bad, just, well, Bachman, I believe that's probably Jewish.
00:49:30.040
And the Jewish Zionists, they control all of the bird names.
00:49:33.740
I've been hearing that a lot on college campuses lately.
