00:06:05.100
that has the quaker man a religious symbol as their company symbol yeah yeah quaker as in the
00:06:16.280
quaker church is in the quakers as in you know white people that wanted to stop slavery and fought for
00:06:22.860
abolition and they were the biggest abolitionist of all time but they're white and they lived in the
00:06:30.860
colonial area era and so they were there in america hello a racist country systematic racism of the
00:06:41.180
quaker guy he's still on the cover of all of the quaker oats stuff anyway uh they came out and said
00:06:48.760
racism has no place in in society do you agree with that stew well of course you do
00:06:55.340
nobody disagrees with that okay maybe the clan disagrees with that yes you don't get to stand
00:07:04.440
in unfortunately you don't get to uh you know you don't get to declare that it's not like michael
00:07:10.520
scott walking out of the room and say i declare bankruptcy it doesn't mean you go bankrupt when that
00:07:15.540
happens you like whether you think it has a place in society or not some people are going to do it
00:07:21.080
it's very few right we should work from reality instead of instead of these things i think covid19
00:07:27.580
has no place in society cured it's gonna be there it's gonna be there there's like turkmenistan who
00:07:33.740
went on and uh they actually banned the word coronavirus and so far they've had zero cases
00:07:38.980
of coronavirus what do you do in the rest of the world you suckers turkmenistan you know what
00:07:44.200
cured this thing a while ago you know uh amedin ajad when he came and spoke at columbia university he was
00:07:50.040
asked about uh homosexuals and how they stone homosexuals and he said we have no homosexual
00:07:54.640
problem in uh iran because we don't have homosexuals there there you go uh problem for akh madenajad at
00:08:01.540
least solved yeah all right so anyway racism has no place in society and here's the problem
00:08:08.540
we stand in solidarity with the black community not a problem that's fine our associates good and our
00:08:14.500
partners great in the fight for social justice social justice is evil it started out great it
00:08:26.000
started out really nice in the 1800s it's a catholic kind of idea social justice has been hijacked by the
00:08:34.420
early 20th century and nobody seems to care about that oh no it just means no it doesn't no it doesn't
00:08:42.480
it doesn't just mean helping out that's called helping out social justice now means marxism
00:08:50.340
so anyway i don't know how i got there uh oh yeah it's all the companies that are all saying that
00:08:56.520
they're all for social justice shut up none of you none of you none of you are actually thinking
00:09:04.100
about what any of this means all you're doing is just trying to get some good pr i mean this is
00:09:10.060
this is what happened with the nazis i you know what we're absolutely with the national socialist
00:09:16.720

00:17:21.000
friend sent me a video of him a few years ago and uh i tried to get a hold of him and i saw this guy
00:17:28.160
he is a he's a black theologian he is absolutely brilliant and he was making these these videos
00:17:36.860
you know about social justice and what it's really about and and uh white guilt and all this stuff
00:17:42.940
and uh tried to get a hold of him and he's moved uh to zambia africa um he and his family because he
00:17:53.360
had been chased out of the country with so much hate and vitriol from the left and they just destroyed
00:18:00.280
this guy just destroyed him destroyed his uh his ministry over here i think he was in florida
00:18:07.600
and took him apart to where he couldn't make any money couldn't do anything because of his point
00:18:13.380
of view and it's really well thought out and well spoken um and so i call him over in africa i don't
00:18:21.260
know about a week ago and i'm like what are you doing and he said you know they said that i didn't
00:18:27.200
care about black people and i'm a black person uh now they won't you know they won't recognize at all
00:18:33.000
that i am serving in africa so he's actually a dean of a school over in africa in zambia right now
00:18:40.840
uh and i'm trying to convince him to come back to the united states because i think his voice is so
00:18:46.200
incredibly important pray for him and his family his family really went through a lot um but he's going
00:18:53.880
to be uh he's going to be on uh with us in about 40 minutes and he's going to talk about uh uh what is
00:19:00.220
it ethnic rest um uh gnosticism let me see if i got it right it's maybe it's race gnosticism
00:19:07.960
um you know ethnic gnosticism gnosticism is it comes from the uh group of gnostics um in the middle
00:19:19.120
ages or um you know early on in the church and they believed some crazy stuff they believed that you
00:19:25.000
were born either knowing or not knowing uh and those who were born knowing what's right and what's
00:19:31.660
good oh they'd go to heaven the rest of us were just doomed uh and and you really couldn't challenge
00:19:37.840
them on anything because they knew well that's kind of what's happening with ethnic gnosticism a word
00:19:44.160
that he has or a phrase that he has uh coined ethnic gnosticism meaning you know if you're white you
00:19:51.580
don't get it you never will they'll explain it to you but you still don't understand it um because
00:19:56.820
you're not gnostic you just weren't born black so you weren't born knowing it is incredibly racist and
00:20:04.660
incredibly dangerous and he's now the dean of theology of african christian university former pastor of
00:20:11.660
grace family baptist church and uh he's going to be with us uh giving us a sermon if you will
00:20:18.960
coming up in uh about 40 minutes also did you hear about the the terrorists that we killed in
00:20:25.620
syria with the new ninja bomb did you read this still no but we greatest thing ever we need more
00:20:33.760
ninja bombs i don't know what they do but we need more of them oh really do we mr racist taking
00:20:40.540
someone else's culture and appropriating it a ninja bomb so what the ninja what the ninja bomb is
00:20:48.120
is uh this incredible uh rocket uh that you know we have um let's see if i can find out what the
00:20:56.240
name of that rocket is that we we use the hellfire rocket you've heard of the hellfire missile this is
00:21:02.000
an r9x missile it's a modified modified hellfire and the hellfire missile is the kill radius is about
00:21:10.220
700 feet so it can cause a lot of collateral damage but because america is a good place
00:21:18.100
we have been trying to get that kill radius down because we don't want to kill innocent bystanders
00:21:24.960
when we're targeting you know military leaders so these two military leaders were in their car
00:21:31.020
driving down the road uh on sunday and the u.s led a strike and we we let go of one of these hellfire
00:21:39.900
r9x missiles um it doesn't explode the kill radius is a little smaller it's 30 inches and it doesn't
00:21:54.000
actually explode the top of the missile comes out right before it hits and it breaks up and
00:22:02.080
knives come out of the of the front and it's like it creates like a fan almost it just slices a 30 inch
00:22:11.360
hole through anything and just makes gravy out of anything standing in its way 30 inches people 30
00:22:21.160
inches away from the target are not affected yeah america just doesn't care we just kill everybody
00:22:30.660
don't we unbelievable tell me another country that would do that this is the glenn beck program
00:22:38.140
somewhere in america within the sound of my voice there's a man popping the cap off a bottle of
00:22:47.060
root beer so cold it nearly hurts his hand to hold it the metal cap clinks in the dark old wood off the
00:22:53.520
dock and it comes to rest the corner store on the way out the boy decided on an old-fashioned rc cola
00:22:59.700
and the only thing the man insisted on was a a glass bottle recapturing the magic of his own youth
00:23:08.880
is an act of happy transference from grandfather to grandson fishing poles are cast mortifyingly
00:23:16.960
cold drinks are slowly enjoyed and the morning sun rises on the still cool waters the boy's feet
00:23:24.740
swinging beside the man they're clad in some crazy bright imitation of cowboy boots that are at least
00:23:31.900
an improvement of the ones he wore as a kid but the man himself he wears to covas made by hand in 200

00:24:37.320
stew pat yes i am i don't know about stew you know the the gay character on the show is always
00:24:46.240
so unpredictable i i don't know which he is unpredictable i'm expecting ding dong and
00:24:51.700
like a little cousin of his is going to move in exactly i'm proud to be in a protected class
00:24:57.000
yeah uh but uh uh john bolton he comes out yesterday with with uh you know excerpts of his
00:25:06.600
book and i have to tell you this is despicable to me it's despicable if you really believe that he
00:25:15.760
was that dangerous because he paints the picture of donald trump being the most dangerous person you
00:25:21.680
would ever want anywhere near the white house and and he didn't say anything he didn't come out and
00:25:28.780
just say no he waited for two million dollar payday it's grotesque grotesque and he said i didn't say
00:25:36.860
anything because you know it would have been it would have just all become political okay so now it's
00:25:40.760
all political but you got two million dollars yeah it's gonna be political you might as well get the
00:25:46.080
two million dollars too you know it sounds great just bad as you know i'm a gay character i mean if
00:25:53.640
i'm gonna be gay i might as well be gay for two million extra dollars i mean i don't i mean if it's
00:25:57.240
gonna be gay either way not on this program um so so here's the uh uh everybody's paid an equal wage
00:26:04.940
and don't think that through don't think that through anyway um uh the uh the the thing about
00:26:12.520
uh you know i had um adam carolla on last night and he i said to him you know about this this culture
00:26:22.880
of of canceling everybody and he said you know glenn that's why i i did what you did we both did it
00:26:31.740
we created our own platform so nobody can cancel us from it and first of all that's not true um i could
00:26:38.780
be canceled from the radio which i think i think your local radio station especially talk
00:26:44.780
is in deep trouble deep trouble if this president loses this election uh i think we are on the verge
00:26:52.400
of us silencing our voices like you cannot even imagine um but he said you know i started my own
00:27:00.820
platform blah blah blah and you know so i don't worry about it yeah well i i get that but what about
00:27:06.840
the average person and he said you know you've got to just go along with it if you want to keep your
00:27:11.320
job no you don't there comes a point to where you know i can compromise and you know there were things
00:27:18.240
that there were things that i believe that i shall never say but there are things uh but i will never
00:27:23.780
say the things that i do not believe uh you know when i was at fox that was rupert murdoch's company
00:27:30.600
and i said that to roger ailes when i was there look uh i i'm not necessarily going to play ball and
00:27:36.820
and say the things that i don't agree with but it's your company and if this is causing you problems
00:27:45.200
okay um i'll i'll say it elsewhere but you you still say it you still there there are times when you say
00:27:54.580
okay i i'm gonna i'm gonna compromise here and not be very clear because it doesn't just involve me
00:28:02.180
but when you come down to where we are in america now i you don't play ball with marxists you don't
00:28:11.460
give in am i wrong i mean i am willing to lose everything that i have to save the country
00:28:20.600
is it just me yes you're the only one willing to do that it probably is just you but um no it's not
00:28:30.740
if you would yeah you would stew you're not going to get on the air and say things that you don't
00:28:35.620
believe because otherwise they're going to kick you off the air well you would stew i'm currently in
00:28:39.800
the middle of you becoming a gay character even though i'm totally straight just don't do anything
00:28:44.880
for money what are you talking about no i mean of course i i you know and i i don't know i think
00:28:49.360
you're right it does it never looks good when you release this stuff in a book right it never does
00:28:53.520
you know do i you know you said like it makes him sound like the worst person to ever be close
00:28:59.400
to the white house most of the stuff i've read so far sounds like stuff donald trump says in
00:29:05.360
negotiations and doesn't mean anything you know like the fact that he's saying to president g hey
00:29:10.740
uh you know i i love your concentration camp sounds like a great idea like we all know donald trump
00:29:16.680
doesn't love concentration camps he didn't he didn't start building them he didn't send over
00:29:20.620
crews to help build walls over at the concentration camp what did he do because of that situation and
00:29:25.280
the answer is nothing nothing it's just he says all sorts of things that mean nothing yeah he's
00:29:29.460
constantly in negotiation mode and but what is the difference between hey your concentration camps
00:29:35.500
are great uh you know maybe i'll come you know maybe we can do a trump one and it'll be an
00:29:40.680
exclusive concentrate i mean what is the difference between him saying that
00:29:44.560
and joe biden giving a speech in front of president z saying you know i i agree you know
00:29:50.180
while it's not right for america i see why you have your one child policy and it works well for you
00:29:55.920
what's the difference it's a great point what's the difference there's no difference yeah and i mean
00:30:01.040
does anybody doubt that probably half jokingly president trump could have said yeah you know what we
00:30:08.480
should do is execute some of these journalists i mean behind the scenes that's very possible but
00:30:13.940
he didn't mean they should actually execute them did he execute any journalists is the question we
00:30:19.380
all need to ask as a matter of fact he hasn't rounded them up like barack obama did he's been much better
00:30:24.360
for journalists than barack obama was when it comes to using the law and his power against them
00:30:29.200
could he have said you know what would be fun invading venezuela taking those oil
00:30:34.620
totally might have said that totally so what did he involve did he invade venezuela the answer is no
00:30:42.680
to judge donald trump's presidency it is the most efficient and intelligent thing to do is just
00:30:49.680
dismiss the things he says and watch what he does you don't know what he says he again like think of
00:30:54.200
north korea he said he was going to annihilate the country and then like two days later said he was a
00:31:00.740
good friend of kim jong-un neither one of those is true like we all know neither one is true hyperbolic
00:31:06.960
he speaks hyperbolic and he says a lot of it because he thinks he's getting an advantage in a
00:31:11.160
negotiation or it's helping the press or whatever it is you can't just look at what he does not what
00:31:16.440
he says that's the best way to judge his presidency but he also says things to jar the thinking of
00:31:23.880
others for instance or himself when they said he actually said let's put alligators in the water
00:31:29.460
and build a moat on the southern border okay did he say that i bet he did but he said i bet he said
00:31:36.840
it like this uh mr president we can't do uh this and we can't do that and we can't build this wall
00:31:42.760
you know we've got all these other problems you know what then maybe why don't we just build a
00:31:46.220
moat and put some alligators in it yes i mean anybody got a problem with alligators let's put
00:31:50.420
alligators in there yeah because you guys aren't doing anything yep it could have happened that way
00:31:56.540
right and it it it jars people's thinking you know why not why don't we just bomb them
00:32:03.520
well because mr president and if you're an old stodgy system you need to go in there and break up the
00:32:13.560
thinking you need to go in and go well why haven't we thought about just bombing the snot out of them
00:32:18.220
why haven't we just gone in there mr president we don't because of x y and z well have we thought
00:32:24.960
about bombing them yes we have well i'm leaning towards bombing them you're leaning towards giving
00:32:31.580
them fruitcake why don't you come up with another plan and see me about it yeah and then they come
00:32:37.260
back it's the overton window they come back with something that they wouldn't have ever done
00:32:43.060
unless the president was saying you know what maybe we should bomb them right i mean he just
00:32:48.120
fundamentally communicates different than other people communicate when when you say something
00:32:51.920
glenn or pat says something to me what i assume is that glenn or pat mean the thing they're saying
00:32:57.680
they believe that thing and they're saying it because it's something they believe when donald trump
00:33:01.840
says things you can't take it that way he is in constant negotiation mode and when he goes into
00:33:07.840
these situations he's not calculating of let me think of what my heart my my my help closely held
00:33:13.380
belief is and uh and express that to kim jong uh kim jong un or president g he going in there and
00:33:20.940
saying like what do i need to do to improve my situation how do i get x y or z done let me say
00:33:26.320
whatever i have to to get that done is that something that you should do there are legitimate questions
00:33:31.700
as to whether that's a good idea but if you haven't priced that into donald trump at this point
00:33:36.380
what what are you doing like i mean this is what he's been doing since long before he was running
00:33:41.280
for president wait you glenn how many times have you told this story about tiffany's where he said
00:33:45.840
he was going to build the ugliest building in the world if they didn't give him the air rights for a
00:33:49.520
building he wanted to build he was going to build the ugliest building in the world right next to
00:33:52.500
tiffany's it was going to basically destroy their business was there a chance that donald trump was
00:33:56.700
really going to go in there and make the ugliest building in the world next to tiffany's in the
00:34:01.060
middle of new york city my guess is it's possible with donald trump which is why it's successful
00:34:05.800
but probably not like he's not going to spend millions and millions of his own dollars just
00:34:10.620
to make a point against tiffany's right right but but the tiffany's didn't know that they didn't know
00:34:16.440
you know i i haven't talked about i haven't talked about a phone call that i have i talked about this
00:34:21.540
on the air well i mean you have to go deeper than a phone call i i assume you've had several what phone
00:34:26.920
call i'm talking about uh i got a phone call from the president a few months back uh and we spoke for
00:34:34.240
about a half an hour and it was it was fascinating fascinating i learned a lot about him uh and uh
00:34:44.380
he said he said to me uh good for you knowing the tiffany story not a lot of people know that i said
00:34:52.860
yeah well i've done my homework uh and uh he said uh good for you meaning because we were talking about
00:35:01.680
something else we were talking about trade and i said i just assumed that you're doing some of the
00:35:07.460
tiffany's stuff and he said what do you mean by that and i told him that you know i started telling
00:35:12.620
him the story and that's when he said good for you and it was it was almost in uh of a fashion of
00:35:20.160
saying that as uh you understand most don't and that's what you have to understand about donald trump
00:35:29.140
first of all he has diarrhea of the mouth uh i mean you know my my mother used to say glenn you've
00:35:35.020
got diarrhea of the mouth which means just crap just shoots out of my mouth and you know you'll find
00:35:40.660
pieces of something that was for dinner three weeks ago it has nothing to do with what you had dinner
00:35:46.140
you know last night and uh and uh and that's what he has there's things that just shoot out of his
00:35:53.260
mouth uh and others are very calculated and you can't dismiss when he's in a room of hostiles like
00:36:01.740
he was with tiffany's absolutely that he isn't saying things to shake them to the core and you know
00:36:09.000
the other thing that i think you were alluding to with your analogy was that uh uh john bolton
00:36:15.140
was there for how long how long was he a part of this how long if you had this big a problem with
00:36:20.780
this president you should have gotten out and said something much sooner than now if you really
00:36:26.060
believe that he is the problem that you're making him out to be that he is dangerous to america well
00:36:32.720
then you should have quit and you should have made your feelings known and understood loud and clear
00:36:37.520
a long time ago otherwise right otherwise you're just doing it for your own purposes you're doing it
00:36:44.580
i mean if that's not cashing in uh on and and trading your country's security uh for cash if it's not
00:36:55.180
one of the most grotesque things i've i've ever seen and i say i say this about the people who wrote
00:37:00.300
the obama books the people that write any of these things wait a minute you're holding back critical
00:37:05.560
information and you're doing it for money it's it's grotesque absolutely grotesque all right back in just a
00:37:14.420
minute thank you very much pat gray i need my uh commercial copy i don't have it who am i
00:37:19.660
i want to talk to you a little bit about blinds.com blinds.com we just were on the phone last week i
00:37:28.760
think uh with blinds.com we just called them up like you do and got a uh designer on the phone because
00:37:35.460
tanya and i you know i i know what i want and know what it looks like tanya it was really weird tanya
00:37:43.100
said to me and i i didn't appreciate this uh we're doing some things to our house and i said
00:37:49.080
you know imagine this and this and this and she said i can't and i said what do you mean
00:37:52.300
look at this picture and then look here it'll be kind of like that and she said i i can't do that
00:37:58.340
and it's weird because i have that kind of imagination and i just assumed that everybody had
00:38:04.740
some of that and she doesn't um and so i really have to uh do picture boards for her and stuff and
00:38:12.480
then when it comes to ordering things online i have absolutely no idea so we called blinds.com we got
00:38:19.340
their interior designer on this woman was amazing uh without looking through anything she said she we
00:38:27.180
just did a facetime thing with her and we showed her the room and she said okay uh how do you want it to
00:38:32.940
feel and i told her and she said okay i think you i think we gotta go into this kind of fabric in this
00:38:39.500
color i'm like okay whatever and uh she said there are three colors kind of like that in three fabrics
00:38:46.180
but i think this one would be best because of x y and z she sends them to us all these different
00:38:51.820
samples and the one she just said off the top of her head was exactly right i mean exactly the right
00:38:56.560
color and how she got that over facetime is beyond me there are experts and it's free
00:39:02.220
they make it so easy and you'll save a buttload of money if you go to blinds.com right now blinds.com
00:39:08.740
use the promo code beck for shade shutters drapes anything for window treatments it's blinds.com
00:39:19.860
i have to tell you i don't know how police officers are doing it especially in atlanta
00:39:41.180
yesterday did you see they they came out and they charged this police officer with murder
00:39:46.520
uh which is i've watched the whole video i don't know how you arrive at that but what's worse
00:39:53.360
is even the new york times has pointed out when this first happened that the da is running for
00:40:00.620
re-election and the new york times was afraid that they might they might try to politicize this
00:40:07.020
well the state of georgia the bureau of investigation came out yesterday and said they asked us to
00:40:12.620
investigate this we have just begun our investigation haven't made any recommendations and we were
00:40:18.000
shocked when the da came out with uh with the charges wow you know what else is interesting about that
00:40:24.940
this is the da paul howard two weeks ago declared that tasers are a deadly weapon yes okay well he had a
00:40:34.920
deadly weapon then and he was defending himself against a deadly weapon really strange no no he didn't
00:40:40.780
have a deadly weapon they should have found some other way to deal with it yeah i mean you can't
00:40:45.560
say it's a deadly weapon when in the hands of police and then when it's in the hands of somebody
00:40:49.620
else not say it's a deadly weapon it's it's crazy my issue here is that look the guy was running away
00:40:55.660
why not shoot him in the toes if you just hit his little toe he's gonna fall he wouldn't be able
00:41:00.240
to run a little toe first not the big toe you don't go for the big no that would be too much
00:41:03.820
that would be too much force but if you got his little toe yes then he would fall to the ground
00:41:08.940
and you'd be able to apprehend him and the cop didn't want to do that because he's obviously
00:41:12.780
racist really police union said uh they didn't have a blue out last night they they people weren't
00:41:19.340
calling in sick but a lot of calls in atlanta went unanswered apparently yesterday and i don't blame
00:41:30.640
just because you can boil water doesn't mean you should run a restaurant and the same logic goes for
00:41:49.100
identity theft protection you may be good at monitoring your credit but that doesn't make
00:41:53.560
you an authority on it plus with data breaches that seem to happen more and more your personal
00:41:58.280
information could end up anywhere and with your breached information criminals can commit
00:42:03.200
identity theft which is even more reason to use a pro because on your own you can miss certain
00:42:08.860
identity threats like someone taking out a payday loan in your name or selling your information
00:42:12.900
on the dark web that's where lifelock comes in they see a wide range of identity threats now nobody
00:42:19.020
can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses but if you end up
00:42:23.580

00:45:52.200
somehow our paths never crossed he has been pretty much chased out of america because of his views on
00:45:59.620
social justice uh it's he was smeared and blackballed and and everything else he's now in
00:46:08.220
africa i'm trying to convince him to come back to america his home uh and america needs his voice

00:46:42.540
sometimes saving money is like the positive version of uh you know death of a thousand cuts
00:46:49.680
you scrimp a penny here or two and uh and you get a off-brand name from time to time
00:46:55.100
you know except for the orioles don't ever buy off-brand orioles but i digress never buy
00:47:00.800
never buy those but always look for things that will save you money and you begin to see a difference
00:47:06.640
in your finances right now it may not be good enough just to buy off brands and save a penny
00:47:13.360
here and there the economy has gone crazy and there's no guarantee that it's not going to go
00:47:18.280
even more crazy before it writes itself in fact i think we're coming up to uh i think we're coming
00:47:26.080
up to massive massive problems but that's just me save hundreds of dollars a month right now maybe
00:47:33.120
even a thousand if you are paying over four percent on your mortgage or you have high percentage debts
00:47:38.460

00:48:16.140
so a couple of weeks ago uh i get up here at the ranch and a friend of mine writes to me and said
00:48:26.660
glenn you need to watch this video and it was on ethnic gnosticism uh normally something like ethnic
00:48:34.480
gnosticism doesn't jump out at people but i am a i'm actually a fan i when i went to uh
00:48:40.900
uh college for about 10 minutes um gnostics were part of what i studied and they were it was a crazy
00:48:48.660
it's a crazy philosophy uh that there are just some people who are born knowing uh and others who
00:48:56.240
just will never get it so if you're born knowing you're gonna go to heaven because you're saved um
00:49:01.480
because you get it and the others they're just never gonna get it so ethnic gnosticism
00:49:07.280
piqued my interest and i watched it and i thought why haven't i heard of this guy before
00:49:12.800
a guy who grew up in california um you know if you if you if you uh
00:49:21.220
if you're looking for the truth today you're looking for it from a guy who has lived it who
00:49:29.980
has walked the walk who has done the real research and study uh and can come at things
00:49:36.900
with a simple peaceful quiet delivery that is uh vadi uh bajam he is a doctor of uh theology and uh
00:49:48.580
he's got several degrees houston baptist university southwestern baptist southwestern baptist theological
00:49:55.000
seminary honorary degree from southern california uh seminary uh and postgraduate study of the
00:50:01.980
university of oxford england he's he has nine children been married since 1989 and currently lives
00:50:10.740
in zambia because of the heat that he received uh when he started talking about these things just a few
00:50:18.680
years ago uh and uh all of his opportunities closed up because of the exact kind of cancel culture that
00:50:25.460
we're talking about now but you need to hear his voice so we have do we have the skype do we have
00:50:31.900
the um uh skype connection and i'm sorry is is it voting okay voting i gotta tell you you look like
00:50:40.060
moses man you're this is great um uh thank you for coming on i know that you have gone through
00:50:47.260
a lot with your family uh and you're now serving the african community in zambia but i wish you were
00:50:54.480
here um let's talk a little bit about ethnic gnosticism and and teach the american people what
00:51:02.120
is really going on here yeah well first uh thank you for having me on thank you for giving me this
00:51:10.340
opportunity um just i want to say that we came here we've been here almost five years and really it
00:51:18.320
was the lord calling us here to be a part of the work that that he was doing here um but you you are
00:51:25.140
correct in that uh things were difficult these issues and coined the term ethnic gnosticism and you
00:51:35.680
know as you've said the the idea that there are certain people who have special knowledge
00:51:42.340
and what we're seeing right now in our culture we've been seeing for a while is the idea
00:51:48.820
oppressed uh groups i would say minority groups but um that's not really the way we talk about it
00:51:58.620
because for example we talk about women as one of these oppressed groups and they're actually not
00:52:02.400
a minority they're the majority um but when you belong to you have a special knowledge as it relates to
00:52:12.900
oppression that other people do not and cannot understand and it's rather ironic because what we
00:52:22.940
hear all the time is you need to right you you you have to listen to us so that you can understand us
00:52:30.880
but the premise of ethnic one of us you literally cannot understand us
00:52:39.380
okay let me let me restate this here because his skype is his skype is kind of uh catching a couple
00:52:45.320
of times you have to cut some slack here because he's he's from zambia he's calling us via skype from
00:52:51.640
zambia uh so uh this is an amazing thing that i think we can have it this uh this good you just said
00:52:58.980
uh the uh the uh the oppressed groups will know they have they're the gnostics they know and the
00:53:07.400
others who are not in in that oppressed group they can never know they just they even if you explain
00:53:13.840
it to them they can't really know yeah and so it's a it's really a catch-22 for
00:53:23.720
understand um people who have a desire to do the right thing um a desire to have a better understanding
00:53:34.780
and sympathize and sympathize and empathize with others um you're essentially told that it's not
00:53:42.960
possible we're also told that when it comes to understanding the truth of these issues
00:53:48.260
that the truth is not necessarily determined by evidence per se it's determined by the experience
00:53:57.980
this is so frustrating the experience of uh that oppressed group i'm assuming he's uh saying are
00:54:12.280
you there yes okay yes yeah so so we are i mean this yeah i tell you what let me just take a quick
00:54:20.900
break and then we'll try to reconnect but um when you come back i i really want to uh i i did a special
00:54:27.060
last night where i talked about how this is a cult this is a religion uh and what you're describing
00:54:33.780
is religious in its nature i mean the gnostics were a a religion uh and it's got all of the earmarks of a
00:54:43.360
religion which means that there's a never-ending supply of souls that need to be saved but in this
00:54:49.140
case they can never really be saved because they'll never really know uh and it allows you to
00:54:57.000
have this wiggle room of well evidence doesn't matter because this is a faith and it's very
00:55:03.820
very dangerous we'll reconnect uh and uh and continue our conversation i i hope that we can
00:55:09.820
get a good connection here i'm trying to convince him to come back to the united states as soon as this
00:55:13.860
covid thing is over um and uh and spend some time because i i you just need to hear him uh speak
00:55:22.280
and hear what he has to say he takes on social justice and ethnic gnosticism uh and what's going
00:55:29.220
on right now in america he takes it head on and he speaks with real knowledge and experience we'll
00:55:36.160
come back to him just a second from zambia life is complicated and tricky enough to navigate on your
00:55:41.680
own during normal times so when you're you know when you're not feeling fine when you're in pain
00:55:46.360
things go even more sideways it's no way to live talked about pete and seth talbot on the program
00:55:52.240
before father and son duo that uh founded relief factor and pete and seth started out years ago with
00:55:57.300
a vision for helping people out who live with pain and they succeeded at that mission most of our pain
00:56:04.860
is caused by inflammation in the body and a lot of times the things we take uh to fight it just don't
00:56:10.120
rise to the occasion or they just mask the pain debilitating pain i have known and if you know
00:56:16.800
it even you know what even if it's just the regular aches and pains please try this when uh when i
00:56:23.140
discovered relief factor because my wife is smarter than me um my life changed relief factor not a drug
00:56:30.580
developed by doctors 70 of the people who try relief factor go on to buy more because it works for them
00:56:35.500
so try the three-week quick start trial pack for only 1995 it's relieffactor.com or call 800-583-84
00:56:42.640
that's 800-583-84 it's relieffactor.com 10 second station id
00:56:48.480
so voting bottom is a dean of theology at the african christian university um he is with us now from
00:57:12.040
zambia we've reconnected with him so so tell us how how this breaks apart and how this is really
00:57:25.000
yes and this is why this is really concerning to me because our knowledge we understand our knowledge
00:57:36.660
comes from god that god is the source of all knowledge we understand that the scriptures
00:57:41.920
are sufficient and we go to the bible to understand truth and we look at the world the way the world is
00:57:51.580
god made the world in such a way that we can do real science for example because there are things that
00:57:59.760
we can expect from an orderly universe that was made by an intelligent creator so as christians
00:58:07.960
these are the ways that we seek for truth not through special individuals who have special knowledge
00:58:16.480
we don't reduce our faith to the testimony of others we build our faith on the testimony of god
00:58:23.340
right this seems to be almost a um a regression back to the dark ages when you had to go to the
00:58:32.620
priest because you couldn't read the language you couldn't own a bible yourself and it's what what
00:58:38.800
freed mankind was getting those middlemen out of the way you had the power to find truth on your own
00:58:46.520
you were smart enough and you could live it and if you did the work you could find truth
00:58:52.240
now we're saying in almost every front no no no you need a middleman you can't decide that you're not
00:58:59.120
smart enough and you just don't now this one is you will never be smart enough if you're white you
00:59:05.500
will never have this knowledge yeah and there are a number of people uh john mcorder and others who have
00:59:17.720
uh likened this movement uh the sort of anti-racism movement to a religion and you hit the nail on the
00:59:25.980
head there is this idea of saints and sinners uh jim wallace uh wrote a book and the title of his book
00:59:34.240
was america's original sin and so again there are these this religious connotations here and what worries
00:59:41.660
me about this is that there are real problems there are there's real racism there's real evil there's
00:59:50.860
real hatred it's real injustice and the answer to those things is a god who saves through the person
00:59:59.540
and work of christ that's that's our message as christians right or at least it used to be now the
01:00:06.340
message is the answer is something other than the forgiveness that we find through god in christ now
01:00:17.920
the answer is somehow you have to do enough penance and it's been interesting to watch scenes of white
01:00:25.600
people literally kneeling and bowing and genuflecting in in in repentance you know over over their sin of
01:00:34.740
of white privilege or you know uh bias or conscious bias or unconscious bias or whatever else and the
01:00:44.320
problem with this is that this religion is promising salvation somewhere other than god and unfortunately
01:00:52.920
there are many christians who are sounding like they're rather satisfied with this oh yeah i i'm i'm
01:01:00.000
struck with you know i've i've been uh ringing the bell against social justice for ever since i
01:01:06.620
discovered it you know uh what 15 years ago uh and said this this and collective salvation and the
01:01:13.760
teachings of wallace and everybody else is is evil it is it is the it's an upside down world from what god
01:01:21.020
uh wants i'm struck by the fact that an earmark of anything that i think would be evil would be
01:01:28.960
there is no forgiveness that that that that is the most un-christian kind of thing i've ever heard
01:01:38.440
there's god if there is a god that does not forgive us then everything we know about christianity is
01:01:45.980
wrong and i don't want to live in that world but we're now being told that there is no forgiveness
01:01:52.440
even if you beg for forgiveness and i see people bowing down and part of me understands and says
01:02:00.360
okay well we all want to get along i think this plays on the best part of us but our biggest achilles
01:02:06.640
heel people want to get along they want people to feel good and i you know if i if i can help in this
01:02:14.840
situation by saying man i'm really sorry that you feel that way i'm really uh it it does bother me
01:02:21.260
that you've gone through this but that's not what's happening here uh what's happening here is
01:02:29.060
i i'm really sorry you went through this but then i have to extend it out to and i am somehow involved
01:02:36.640
in this i somehow am the cause of your current pain and crisis and that doesn't make any sense to me
01:02:44.920
and i think you hit on something that's very important when you say that that doesn't make
01:02:51.600
any sense to me i think what's happening is people are having two different discussions
01:02:55.820
and they don't realize that they're having two different discussions
01:02:58.920
people look at for example like the george floyd death and they see this tragic situation
01:03:05.320
and on the one hand there's just universal condemnation of what happened um i haven't heard of
01:03:15.180
anyone i'm sure there's you know somebody out there i haven't heard any either and can never
01:03:20.360
whatever but universally they condemn this but then what happens is people are explaining this in
01:03:25.420
two different ways there are some people who are saying see there's the racism and there are other
01:03:31.440
people who are saying wait you know there's four officers two black one asian one white this white
01:03:37.980
officer did that did this how how how do we just declare that this is racism and and what that's an
01:03:46.500
example of is these two competing worldviews um one worldview that says racism is individual
01:03:55.200
it's an individual heart issue and that's the world where we deal with the individual heart
01:04:02.820
issue with the message of the gospel but then there's another worldview that says no no no no no
01:04:08.820
regardless of individual heart issue this is a structural and institutional issue therefore
01:04:16.720
and this is what boggles people's minds sometimes they'll say it doesn't matter what the facts of the
01:04:22.080
case are this is evident structural and institutional racism and what that's doing is it's driving
01:04:30.220
people apart because we're having two different conversations that don't make sense to each other
01:04:37.840
because there's rules to this that are in for some people not understood and for others are so
01:04:48.820
clear that they don't even need to be spoken so i want to i want to uh i want to take a quick break
01:04:57.960
because we only have about a minute left uh and i i want to take a quick break and come back to you and
01:05:02.620
ask you about social justice and white privilege he could because you say those are lies uh and are
01:05:11.540
taking us down uh the wrong road um and i want you to talk specifically to those people because i've a lot
01:05:20.840
of them in this audience that are going to church and they're hearing talk of social justice um catholics
01:05:26.620
in particular say social justice isn't bad because they kind of go off of this old meaning of social
01:05:33.800
justice from the 1800s but that was hijacked long ago um so i want you to take on social justice and
01:05:41.220
uh and talk to the pastors and the preachers and the priests uh and the people who are listening
01:05:48.280
uh and trying to do the right thing uh on where they might be going wrong and what we should be doing
01:05:56.200
we'll do that in a second thank you so much for being with us
01:05:59.060
um we're going to be back in uh just a second uh with uh with more you have to watch his youtube
01:06:10.620
videos we'll we'll link them and send them out on social media um but he gives these sermons that
01:06:18.320
are so right on the money and so well spoken and so clear and clarifying that uh
01:06:26.180
uh it's no wonder the left has come after him and his family as hard as they have uh it's um
01:06:34.480
it's a remarkable thing quite honestly how evil works back in a minute
01:06:44.980
do you know some people go running with their dogs i mean i saw this the other day and i shook my
01:06:52.860
head and discussed i'm like oh my gosh i mean you might have to stay healthy and happy and
01:06:58.520
everything else but why are you forcing your dog to go running for in the god forsaken heat no less
01:07:04.140
i mean it makes me sick what some people will do
01:07:07.220
anyway the other day uh the other thing the uh the dogs need uh you know the running thing they can
01:07:14.080
do that on their own nutrients vitamins minerals antioxidants probiotics omega oils the list goes on and on
01:07:21.060
i mean i'm so upset about this honestly because my wife keeps asking me and i'm like
01:07:24.920
i am not your dog come on just go running i am not your dog i am gonna lay here on the carpet and i am
01:07:31.100
gonna sleep and drool all over the floor anyway if your dog is getting dog food you know especially
01:07:37.340
dry kibble they're not getting all of the things that they need the nutrients the vitamins minerals
01:07:41.340
antioxidants and the probiotics that's really important it's not a dog food you put it on your
01:07:47.020
dog's food and you won't have to take them running because they'll do all the running
01:07:50.780

01:08:07.320
well supreme court just came out with another ruling it's not going to make you
01:08:37.280
apparently the obama executive order cannot be overturned with a trump executive order
01:08:45.640
uh i don't even understand how that works we have a lot of commentary on this coming up in just a
01:08:51.340
minute uh but uh let me just say this not going to come as a surprise john roberts sided with the
01:08:57.700
liberals which is now becoming the most redundant sentence ever uttered of course he did um we have
01:09:06.920
dr vody bacham on with us he is the dean of theology of african christian university he's on skype with
01:09:12.780
us from zambia uh and i want to i want to talk to you uh about a couple of things we have about 15
01:09:18.340
minutes here left so can you can you please explain the difference between social justice that a
01:09:24.360
christian would understand uh and the social justice that is now being preached from many of
01:09:33.140
well social justice has been understood clearly for a while and social justice is distributive justice
01:09:48.000
social justice is about uh redistributing um resources and opportunities social justice is
01:09:58.240
not the same as the biblical idea and the biblical concept of justice you also need to understand that
01:10:04.940
uh social justice is built on uh the back of critical theory which is all about the idea of
01:10:13.620
you know hegemony and power structures and hegemony may sound like a big academic word it just means
01:10:21.020
that there there's a power structure that exists because of the individuals who set the rules of
01:10:26.940
the game and they did it in order to the critical theory is marxist i just want to throw that in
01:10:35.140
correct that's a carl marx theory yes that's okay yes most assuredly all right go ahead yeah
01:10:42.020
the idea is that the the power structure comes from uh the elites who establish things they they set
01:10:50.940
the rules of the game and they set the rules of the game in order to benefit themselves and and their
01:10:57.440
posterity and everybody else is oppressed because they're not part of the hegemony this by the way is
01:11:04.020
why women although they're a majority are considered an oppressed minority because the hegemony is white
01:11:11.060
male christian heterosexual cisgendered you know on and on and on and on and on okay um and so social
01:11:20.200
justice is about really transferring power from those in the hegemony to those in oppressed groups
01:11:30.920
the individual doesn't matter and again this is why this bothers me so much because as a christian
01:11:37.880
and as a minister of the gospel i preach christ and him crucified i preach the the work that he has done
01:11:46.100
and that we need to receive personally if if we get into this critical theory business where everything
01:11:54.220
becomes structural all of a sudden this gospel has to either be transformed into something that the bible
01:12:01.020
doesn't recognize or it has to be out and so this social justice movement black lives matter for example
01:12:09.200
anyone who reads what they believe will see that they are anti-christian they are fundamentally
01:12:16.740
anti-christian um and so this this whole idea this whole idea of the social justice movement
01:12:22.480
and i get a lot of flack for it because you know either you have conscious bias or unconscious bias
01:12:29.240
or you have internalized bias if you don't you know buy this gemini right um you know so it's interesting
01:12:38.880
how uh critical theory sort of hedges itself in and protects itself on all sides oh right it's it's
01:12:46.300
it's the same as witch hunts it's same as witch hunts i mean you know that's exactly what a witch
01:12:52.120
would say well i mean how do you defend yourself so let me ask let me ask i have two more questions
01:13:00.820
for you first of all um the people that i know the white people that i the americans that i know first
01:13:08.040
of all this is happening all over the world this is not an american problem it's not a white person
01:13:14.380
problem uh you know the chinese have concentration camps for people who are different than them
01:13:19.540
this is the oldest story and it is the internal struggle of each individual as well as a society
01:13:27.080
um but the white people that i know we're all we're like this is not 1956 it's not 1968 it's not it's not
01:13:36.260
1988 we we're fine we want people to be equal this system is corrupted our founding system is so
01:13:46.720
corrupted that it is causing all kinds of problems we've never really you know lived up to the
01:13:52.980
declaration of independence but we all want to or most of us want to but we feel like we're just
01:13:59.600
absolutely under attack and this kind of message is going to make race relations much worse
01:14:06.240
how do we help how do what do we do without playing into the evil of marxism
01:14:14.480
yeah and and i'm i'm going to tell you i this is one of the things that really
01:14:21.920
bothers me about this i you know on social media since the 22nd of may but these messages have been
01:14:30.180
out there for years i've been talking about this for years um and i've really been frustrated
01:14:35.420
uh with this and with the way that the attacks come um i've been trying to talk about this from
01:14:42.860
the perspective of the big picture and unfortunately when you talk about it from the
01:14:47.340
big picture people tend to think oh you just don't have empathy you just don't have compassion
01:14:55.000
you just don't understand how bad it is um me who who grew up in drug-infested gang-infested
01:15:02.540
south central la born in 1969 grew up during the crack era grew up during the crack wars if you will
01:15:10.980
raised by a single teenage buddhist mother i wasn't raised in christianity never heard the gospel until
01:15:17.220
i got to the university and so for people to try to marginalize me because i don't understand i've
01:15:25.380
been pulled over by the cops i've been down on the sidewalk because i was in the wrong place at the
01:15:31.160
wrong time i know these kinds of things happen and yet i still say that these ideologies are poisonous
01:15:41.440
and they have to be confronted because these ideologies actually undermine our message as
01:15:48.720
christians i'm concerned about people i'm concerned about justice i'm concerned about souls and i know
01:15:57.360
where this stuff comes from i understand where it comes from and i am not willing to lay down my bible
01:16:04.580
and have anyone force me to agree with certain things simply because if i don't they will you know
01:16:13.140
they will somehow label me and call me names i couldn't care less about people labeling me and calling
01:16:18.780
me names i know who i am before god my conscience is clear and so i am i'm worried about this like you
01:16:28.620
i'm also an american who as an expat in a foreign country i've been to dozens of countries in the world
01:16:37.220
and there's two things that i know number one black people in america are the freest and most prosperous
01:16:43.120
black people in the world period bar none the second thing is this people outside of america
01:16:52.460
think that we are the most oppressed people in the world and people actually think that things like
01:17:02.760
george floyd are happening every day that they're not an anomaly but that they're commonplace and the
01:17:11.120
reputation as outside of our borders it sickens me and it saddens me but also the reputation that black
01:17:19.480
people have that somehow we are weak and impotent and that we can't do or be anything unless white
01:17:27.880
people do it for us which by the way is kind of racist i i believe that race i am a descendant
01:17:38.460
of some of the strongest people in the history of the world we overcame slavery and now we're bowing
01:17:47.020
and scraping like we need somebody to do something for us our individuality is at stake our self-pride
01:17:55.280
is at stake and our trust in god as the answer and solution to our problems is at stake and so for me
01:18:04.400
this is a this is a very complex issue but it's one that i'm very passionate about
01:18:09.220
i i will tell you that i am i am struck by the first time i went to israel and i honestly didn't
01:18:18.220
know much about the politics of the region and i was walking down the street in the old city and
01:18:24.520
there's a place where the palestinian section stops it's just one street one one place it's just
01:18:29.480
an archway that separates the jewish quarter from the palestinian quarter and you walk through it and
01:18:34.940
one is dirty and dingy and dark and the other is light and bright and clean and you are within five
01:18:41.500
feet of of both of those things and uh and it struck me that one side just says i don't care what
01:18:51.840
anybody else says i'm doing this and the other side is has been told for so long it's because of
01:18:58.960
them they're stopping you and i'm the only one that can help you and it stifles growth i think the
01:19:08.300
the black community has been lied to by the progressive movement uh really almost since booker t
01:19:15.860
washington uh died i mean they were lied to before that but when booker t died there was a there was a
01:19:22.100
shift from we can do this we don't need anybody we can do this and it's been this constant battle of
01:19:30.700
no no no you're being oppressed even now you don't even know it and you'll never get out unless
01:19:37.660
these people my dad used to say to me life isn't a series of things that happen to you glenn
01:19:43.300
life is what you do with those things and that's the most depressing thing about the message that's
01:19:50.980
coming out of black lives matter is you're oppressed you'll never be able to do anything about it
01:19:56.660
unless these people are gone well that that's there's no empowerment in that
01:20:02.660
yeah very little hope that's another thing that i'm hearing is that there's very little hope
01:20:13.120
and if our only hope is that you know certain people um begin to have empathy or begin to do
01:20:22.740
whatever it is that we think certain people need to do then we have no hope my hope is in god my hope
01:20:29.480
is in christ my hope is not in america um my hope is not in in in white people black people and my hope
01:20:36.880
is in god my hope is in christ and and what what worries me also is as an academic i mean i'm a dean
01:20:44.320
and um i'm sure you saw that anonymous email that went out from the the berkeley professor
01:20:53.200
this is an anonymous black professor yeah there are people in academia who are not free to investigate
01:21:04.960
issues and do honest academic work and so what we're left with is these simplistic answers right
01:21:15.120
um and so you have people who quote statistics on this side versus people who quote statistics on
01:21:20.480
that side right two and a half times more likely to be shot by police eighteen and a half times more
01:21:25.520
likely to you know shoot police officers whatever right and and in both instances we're giving these
01:21:30.720
simplistic answers where the truth is something that's complex and so if we have automatically said
01:21:39.760
anybody who picks the statistics from this column is evil and shouldn't be listened to then we've also
01:21:47.040
said that we are not going to honestly pursue complex answers to complex issues and what that means is
01:21:56.560
we're going to use white people but or use black people rather we're going to use their story we're
01:22:02.880
going to use their suffering in order to advance our cause glenn that's what's been happening for decades
01:22:10.880
and what has it gotten us and so here we are we have black mayors black police chiefs you know we you
01:22:18.480
know we have a president who who's a bi-ethnic president you know and you know all of these you know senators and
01:22:25.440
everything else right but by the testimony of black people themselves the feeling is that things are
01:22:34.720
actually not better the feeling is that the questions haven't been answered and so the frustration grows
01:22:43.760
and the hopelessness grows and the alienation grows and what i'm saying is we're looking for answers in the
01:22:51.840
wrong places let's let's the hard work yes sir yes sir i would love to have you back on again and uh

01:29:52.560
and in the same magazine was how to host a virtual fourth of july so don't leave the house if you want
01:30:01.420
celebrate the birthday of your country but you want to protest have at it gang
01:30:06.660
when i hear dr fauci come out and tell me anything i no longer believe any of them and maybe it's just
01:30:15.080
me i know covid is real i've done my own homework but i have this just overwhelming feeling because of
01:30:23.920
the way it's been handled uh they don't believe any of this stuff so what should we believe
01:30:30.820
matt ridley has looked at this he's going to give us an update on what we now know about the coronavirus
01:30:38.000
and also how does he feel about uh protesters are fine everybody else stay in your house does the
01:30:47.160
coronavirus actually know the difference between a protester and one celebrating the nation
01:30:55.800
all in one minute uh let me uh let me get to our gold line commercial for you um real quickly i
01:31:05.520
there was a story today and i don't know where it is uh but there was a story today that i wanted to
01:31:12.880
get to uh about the fed now buying stocks uh how gold is surging throughout the world there's a rush on
01:31:22.480
u.s dollars because everything else is collapsing uh and there is a rush on gold and there's not
01:31:28.060
enough physical gold right now for some of the demand in some parts of the world i don't buy gold as
01:31:34.400
uh an investment i really don't i buy it as a as an insurance policy against insanity because
01:31:41.580
eventually when the world just goes off i mean it's already off the rails eventually we're going to
01:31:48.100
pay for this and when you're when the dollar begins to fall uh the world's going to go to chaos
01:31:54.300
and you're going to lose a lot of money and the world usually returns to gold well always has returned
01:32:00.900
to gold as the gold standard so please um just look into it i'm not asking you to buy it i'm just asking
01:32:07.140
you to do your own homework on this you're smart enough to figure it out ask them why and how i buy
01:32:12.300
gold because i buy it from gold line at 1-866-GOLDLINE 1-866-GOLDLINE they're ready for your phone call
01:32:20.260

01:32:31.100
matt ridley is the author of how innovation works uh recent theories also on the coronavirus i've
01:32:49.020
been following his uh his tweets he's his website the rational optimist.com and he joins us now are
01:32:57.420
you in london today still matt no glenn i'm in newcastle in northern england so uh not in london
01:33:04.500
but uh but up north well for the for the rest of you know america that's still london you know
01:33:11.480
fair enough yeah there's nothing yeah uh anyway uh so uh matt uh i want to talk to you a little bit
01:33:19.660
about as we start to go back to work we're starting to hear that this thing is heating up
01:33:24.920
and i think the worst thing that any of these officials could do is to uh tell people that it's
01:33:34.000
okay to go out in march and it was responsible after telling the rest of us screw your business
01:33:40.900
you may lose your job but you must stay in now if there is another uh wave of this and it is really
01:33:48.920
bad i think you're going to have a hard time convincing a lot of people to stay in they're
01:33:53.400
going to say screw you you didn't even believe it well i do think there has been an extraordinary
01:33:58.980
double standard expressed by a lot of people in the media and officials uh condoning protests but
01:34:06.560
uh still telling the rest of us that we have to stay home and mustn't uh go out and mix with people
01:34:13.520
you know in this country we're not allowed to go to the pub we're not allowed to uh you know have
01:34:18.620
have any fun at all but if we were to go as thousands did a couple of weekends ago to london
01:34:25.820
and march in really close proximity to each other and shout and scream which of course means you're
01:34:31.740
you know spreading a lot of droplets in the air um then nobody seems to object and i do you know a lot
01:34:37.880
of us feel that that that is a double standard it needs to be called out either those protests are
01:34:44.580
going to produce a very nasty second spike of the virus or we're going to find that it doesn't do
01:34:50.640
that and all the evidence so far suggests that it doesn't do that there's no sign of an uptick
01:34:54.400
certainly in in london of either cases or of reports of people starting to feel ill and calling
01:35:00.700
emergency hotlines and things like that and it's already two weeks down down the road so either it looks
01:35:07.540
like this has proved that we don't need so much social distancing anymore because we're into this
01:35:14.180
the season when this doesn't spread very well we've done a lot of the voluntary stuff which has made it
01:35:18.380
very difficult for the virus to spread and we can try and get our lives back to normal and get people's
01:35:23.500
jobs back and get people's you know cancer appointments back and all these things that we've stopped
01:35:28.920
matt the uh the america's golden calf of the spring was dr fauci and now fauci is saying he wouldn't go
01:35:39.780
to any of these trump rallies it's just too dangerous and now we also find out there may be no immunity
01:35:45.700
look what's happening in china these people should have been immune they're not immune and it's coming
01:35:50.580
for a second wave so which is it the is it is it dangerous or can you go out in these crowds and not
01:35:58.500
have any real lasting effects which which one and who do we believe of course the the true answer is
01:36:06.560
we still don't fully know this is a new virus and we are still learning all the time however we can say
01:36:12.340
some things with with great clarity and one of them is that young people are at very very very low risk
01:36:19.240
indeed um that if you're over 80 it is a serious problem it is a very dangerous virus if you've got
01:36:26.280
underlying conditions and those are the people we need to be really careful and keep away from crowds
01:36:31.580
and keep away from social contact with with people because young people can spread it but they're very
01:36:36.420
unlikely to suffer seriously from it um uh so that's a that's a really important point i think that we need
01:36:43.860
to understand and on the point of immunity there are lots of different uh things leading in different
01:36:48.920
directions it there isn't a huge amount of what you call b cell immunity that is to say antibodies in the
01:36:55.300
population but there's another kind of immunity called t cell immunity which is partially effective
01:37:01.420
and which seems to be very widespread in the population some reports have said 40 some reports
01:37:07.120
have said 70 of kids under the age of four have this kind of immunity and that's why they're not
01:37:13.040
catching the disease now why have they got this kind of immunity because there are four other
01:37:18.240
coronaviruses that we catch pretty well every winter um they're called the common cold they're one of the
01:37:24.520
causes of the common cold and they have given us a degree of immunity to coronaviruses and once you
01:37:31.300
factor in that that may be a big chunk of the population is already partly immune then it turns out that
01:37:37.740
the virus will die back of its own accord particularly in summer with only voluntary measures and you won't
01:37:44.920
need uh these uh drastic compulsory lockdowns but as i say we don't know that for sure that's the way it's
01:37:52.340
looking at the moment it does seem uh matt that you know there the seasonal aspect of it can be both
01:37:59.480
encouraging and discouraging like we are seeing some in the united states where there have been some
01:38:04.320
states where we're seeing a little bit of a bounce back but it does seem to be at least some seasonal
01:38:08.780
effect however does that signify we're in for it in a in a big way going forward when we get to fall
01:38:15.600
i think that is a concern because um all these respiratory viruses are seasonal flu is seasonal
01:38:23.580
colds are seasonal and we don't really know why um i mean it's just quite interesting to to talk
01:38:29.780
briefly about one of those coronaviruses that cause colds it's called oc43 it's the commonest of the
01:38:35.040
common cold coronaviruses it's highly seasonal you only get it in winter on the whole now genomic
01:38:41.220
evidence genetic evidence suggests that that first entered the human population around 1890
01:38:46.900
well it turns out there was a very bad epidemic of what was so-called russian flu in 1889 to 90
01:38:53.160
and it sounds very like what we had today it hit old people harder than young people
01:38:57.900
it hit men harder than women so it could be that that was the first entry of that virus into the
01:39:04.320
population and it killed a million people uh and it spread all around the world but then it became
01:39:09.920
much more harmless and it's so harmless now that you and i have probably had it several times
01:39:14.400
we get partial immunity to it but in a few years later you can get it again and you just call it a
01:39:19.240
a cold um so that holds out hope in the long run that this virus will also turn harmless and the reason
01:39:26.100
that happens with respiratory viruses not necessarily with other kinds of viruses uh is because the virus
01:39:32.100
wants you out there protesting and coughing and having fun and talking to people because that way it can
01:39:38.660
spread more easily if you go to bed and lie still for a week and don't see anybody then that's no good
01:39:43.900
to the virus the virus needs another um destination so matt um have we've is there a definitive answer yet on
01:39:54.760
where this came from i just talked to somebody who said uh no no no the researchers have found that
01:40:02.820
uh china uh put this bat virus i think into a mouse or something and it's documented over in china with
01:40:13.220
video they talked about doing it they weren't weaponizing it they were just experimenting um and
01:40:18.660
he said because of that and he had all the scientific jargon because of that it's a it's a uh a virus that
01:40:27.080
was released and doesn't have any real staying power to it and it's going to get weaker and weaker
01:40:32.820
have you looked into that have you heard that i have looked into this and i don't know the answer
01:40:39.180
any more than anybody else we are still very uncertain here and i don't know what what what happened
01:40:44.420
but there are several key things that we now do know the first is that it did not jump from an animal
01:40:51.600
to a human being in that seafood market in wuhan we know that for two reasons one because the animals
01:40:58.000
in the seafood market turn out to be uh to test negative there was no animal they could find that
01:41:04.220
tested positive the chinese only announced that very recently even though they did the tests early
01:41:08.800
in january it would have been helpful if they'd let us know a bit sooner um uh secondly um we know that
01:41:15.300
it was already very well adapted to human beings in the people who caught it in the market
01:41:21.080
so what this tells us is that the market was a super spreader event it was a person spreading it
01:41:26.560
in the market not an animal now that does make it less likely that we need to well you know that that
01:41:33.580
that means that we need to look for other sources of where it came from and with respect to the labs
01:41:40.000
there are several questions we need to answer if we are to rule out the possibility that it's a lab leak
01:41:46.420
wuhan is one of the centers of coronavirus research in the world one of the two
01:41:51.460
top centers for coronavirus research in the world they were working on coronaviruses they were combining
01:41:57.440
parts of one virus with another making so-called chimeric viruses they handled the uh sample taken
01:42:04.600
from a mineshaft in 2013 that is the closest bat sample to the one we have for some reason they
01:42:10.240
changed the name of that sample when they announced it in in january and didn't say that it was from a
01:42:16.240
mineshaft we're a little unsure about why that is but we know that three miners died in that mineshaft
01:42:21.860
from a pneumonia-like illness that turned out to be a coronavirus so presumably their lungs were
01:42:26.720
analyzed too we need to know what what that was um we know that when they do these experiments in
01:42:33.220
wuhan to make combined viruses they take the so-called receptor binding domain from one virus and add it to
01:42:39.680
the backbone of another and that's what this virus looks like it looks like it's got a pangolin part for
01:42:44.680
one part and a bad part for another we know they can do that without leaving a trace it used to be
01:42:50.440
argued until a few weeks ago um that if they had done that they would very clearly leave a signature
01:42:55.740
a sort of restriction enzyme signature to give it its proper name um we know that they can do it
01:43:02.700
without doing that so there's a whole bunch of things that we know make it possible for this to
01:43:07.240
have been made deliberately in the lab with a view to understanding its virulence not with a view to
01:43:12.600
making a bioweapon and that it's possible that it therefore leaked now to rule that out the chinese
01:43:18.140
authorities need to bring forward all the researchers involved in that program and give us a complete and
01:43:24.040
open account of exactly what experiments they did and why they think it did not leak and then we can
01:43:29.740
be reassured it's in their interest to do that how do you think history is going to look back at the
01:43:37.100
response of this this is the first time in human history that we have shut everything down i mean
01:43:42.840
they they shut things down in london for the you know london plague but not like this um uh this is
01:43:50.760
really kind of a test run of does this work can we even do it how is this going to be viewed in
01:43:57.820
history as a a good thing or you know the first in the way we handled viruses how is this going to be
01:44:05.800
remembered i think this is going to be remembered as a pretty big disastrous series of policy mistakes
01:44:12.600
we reacted too slowly at the start we overreacted in the middle we relied too much on scientific models
01:44:18.860
which were flawed in their forecasting um and as you say we used thoroughly illiberal and compulsory
01:44:26.880
means to shut down the whole of society doing huge economic damage without um and then the worst
01:44:32.580
mistake of all um we let it run rampant through the care home system um both in my country and in
01:44:38.460
new york state there have been cases where um patients were sent from hospitals to care homes
01:44:44.420
without being tested for the virus that caused an epidemic in the care homes so so there's a whole
01:44:50.460
series of mistakes that i think i'm afraid are pretty disastrous and we're going to have to to to learn
01:44:56.080
very carefully um from this not to behave that way in future we ought to have been able to handle this
01:45:02.400
with a uh with a voluntary restrictions that saved old people who were most at risk from getting close
01:45:10.620
to the virus but didn't interfere with young people going about their business and earning their living
01:45:15.660
and that i think is one of the things we've got to do in my book called how innovation works i i i write
01:45:21.140
about vaccines i write about drugs i write about all these innovations and i think the other lesson
01:45:25.740
we have to learn uh is that we didn't do enough innovation in vaccine development and other things
01:45:30.820
before this uh pandemic came along because we knew it was possible i'm so afraid that when we get past
01:45:36.620
this and the same thing is going to happen uh is going to happen again we're just going to lose
01:45:40.920
interest in it once we get past it and and then no one's going to follow up go ahead glenn yeah
01:45:45.740

01:49:08.820
even fredo is embarrassed by by chris uh um the uh wall street journal investigation uncovered
01:49:19.000
major government missteps in new york with andrew cuomo improper patient transfers some patients were
01:49:26.400
too sick to have been transferred uh between hospitals squabbling between cuomo and de blasio
01:49:31.760
administrations contributed to this uncoordinated effort insufficient isolation protocols inadequate
01:49:37.920
staff planning the mixed message from the state and the city government over reliance on federal
01:49:44.640
government sources for key equipment uh procurement planning gaps uh and you know that that leaves
01:49:54.000
out the nursing home slaughter centers that uh that cuomo had uh built yep and then then they look in and
01:50:02.520
they tried to compare it to what the media was saying to him and they said um many of leadership
01:50:09.800
failures of cuomo were not the focus of the media's discussion rather amy roerbach from abc news
01:50:17.500
concentrated on the important things such as the governor's reaction to be being sexualized by lonely
01:50:23.460
wine moms wow wow wow failure every place we know there were we knew this was a failure when we saw it
01:50:35.680

01:52:38.380
we're so glad that you have tuned in today last night i did a uh a special on the most
01:52:45.260
dangerous cult in america and it is this this marxist cult that is out now part of this cancel
01:52:52.440
culture and uh it doesn't matter what you say you you know you're a racist whether you like it or not
01:52:58.940
and all of these companies that are playing right into this and um firing people apologizing for things
01:53:06.600
that you know they may not have ever done uh and i think i think people are starting to catch on
01:53:18.160
that it could happen to them there's a story of a of a uh uh principal up in vermont that is
01:53:25.480
it's just the most remarkable story she said i firmly believe that uh in black lives that black lives
01:53:32.800
matter but i don't agree with the coercive measures taken to get this point across
01:53:37.740
some of which are falsified in an attempt to prove a point while i want to get behind blm i don't think
01:53:45.040
that the people should be made to feel that they have to choose black race over human race while i
01:53:50.540
understand the urgency to feel compelled to advocate for black lives what about our fellow law enforcement
01:53:55.680
officials what about all the others who advocate we advocate for and demand equity for all just
01:54:01.900
because i walk around uh just because i don't walk around with a blm sign doesn't mean that i'm not
01:54:07.920
a racist or that i am a racist well she's been suspended what did she say wrong
01:54:15.680
now as bad as this is imagine being fired for doing literally nothing and then having the people who
01:54:29.920
claimed you were doing something wrong recant and say you know what no i had it wrong
01:54:35.440
i don't think it was a racist thing and your employer won't hire you back
01:54:41.760
this is what's happening to a california man who was fired from his job because someone he was on
01:54:49.700
the road someone took a picture of his hand outside of his outside of his truck and he was cracking
01:54:57.060
his knuckles that's what he said but they said he was forming the okay sign which is alleged white power
01:55:05.400
are you kidding me do you not have anything else to do with your life
01:55:09.700
so his name is emmanuel cafferty he was fired from his position at san diego gas and electric
01:55:16.100
um because the twitter user posted this which has now been deleted
01:55:21.600
said that he was a san diego gas and electric employee
01:55:25.900
and he was making the white power symbol near a black lives rally
01:55:31.040
well he's mexican american he said i just was cracking my knuckles
01:55:37.520
and he's been charged tried now and convicted on social media uh and he lost his job
01:55:44.540
when the other person said i got it wrong san diego gas and electric didn't care
01:55:50.880
he's with us now in his first uh interview uh his name is emmanuel cafferty a mexican-american
01:56:05.300
so when our producers reached out to you um you said you just want your you just want your job back
01:56:14.260
uh and then we reached out to uh you know san diego gas and electric
01:56:20.740
and they said uh our employees are held to a high standard expected to live up to our values every
01:56:28.020
day whether in interactions with fellow employees of the public we conducted a good faith and thorough
01:56:32.700
investigation that included gathering relevant information and multiple interviews and took
01:56:37.680
action in line with those values while we're not able to reveal the full circumstances surrounding
01:56:42.860
our investigation mr cafferty separation from the company we stand by our decision and will not be
01:56:48.000
commenting any further so basically what they're saying is they know you're a racist but they can't tell
01:56:54.780
anybody why you're a racist maybe or they're just saying they don't want to admit they made mistakes
01:57:03.600
so um and you do you still want to work with those people yeah i do i i i thought i was the best
01:57:17.460
position i could be i worked three and a half years to get that position and the day i was hired by them
01:57:24.760
was one of my proudest days and to lose it in this fashion it's it's like it's baking and yeah i want to
01:57:37.020
work i still want to work there and you say that you have special skills that your job that you did what
01:57:44.780
you trained for is very specialized and so there are not a lot of these jobs around
01:57:57.560
so how and how do you do that do you have to crawl through the sewers or are you just
01:58:07.040
anytime someone wants to dig they need to know what's underground right
01:58:11.300
there's a gas line there there's a power line there
01:58:19.440
show where they're at we'll paint it on the ground
01:58:49.700
but uh it's gonna be tough here coming up especially in the uh
01:58:56.300
well not only that emmanuel but your former company has issued a statement that said that
01:59:01.360
they know you are a racist they just can't tell anybody why
01:59:04.000
i mean i i don't know how you're going to find a job
01:59:11.940
yeah do you have a clan have you ever been a member of the clan
01:59:15.580
are you do you know things that the average person doesn't know because
01:59:32.940
it's not going to be the first thing to come up to your mind that i might be a clan member
01:59:46.260
uh to to try to convince your company to hire you back instead of
02:00:19.060
because i'm i'm i'm not going to take this standing
02:00:25.540
if it can happen to me it can happen to somebody else
02:00:34.520
so are you going for possibly a wrongful termination lawsuit or
02:00:41.040
sue the guy that sicked the mob on you for civil damages
02:00:44.460
or do you even know who it was that sicked the mob on you
02:00:48.440
we kind of figured it out we kind of got a name
02:01:04.300
basically recanted everything he charged me of doing
02:02:26.240
we're talking to emmanuel cafferti who is fired for
02:02:29.140
allegedly giving a white supremacist signal signal as he was driving past a rally
02:02:41.640
what i what i look at when i look at this i see
02:02:45.180
a lot of people are really stupid on social media
02:02:47.920
and a lot of people allege things that are false on social media
02:02:51.020
and a lot of people do really stupid things on social media
02:02:53.520
And while the person who alleged this is seemingly clearly in the wrong here, it's a totally different standard to be held by an employer.
02:03:02.680
They seem to me to be the one who is really at fault here and have taken.
02:03:14.080
They really are the ones who are in a way confirming this ridiculous allegation against you.
02:03:19.860
To me, they seem to be the ones who are most at fault here.
02:03:38.340
One, they have to make a decision whether, you know, a company like that, they're going to just say we have no patience for racism.
02:03:48.060
They're going to have to, you know, make a big, bold statement.
02:03:51.120
And unfortunately for me, I ended up being the sacrificial lamb for that.
02:03:55.260
But had this guy just stayed in his own lane, had this guy not went out of his way to take a picture.
02:04:02.780
First of all, I'm not even making a white supremacist gesture in the picture he takes.
02:04:07.500
And if he doesn't put that online, tagging my opinion, tagging every news outlet in the city, none of this will happen.
02:04:18.480
The actions of this one troll is the reason why I don't have a job today.
02:04:25.420
I don't know that I would have the same restraint, but I would say it does give the company a real out here and a possibility to make this right where they can rehire you and make this into a situation where, you know, social media got out of control.
02:04:43.080
It seems like you're giving them a manual and they should definitely take it.
02:04:48.140
I personally would be living off of the profits of a litigation suit that would never go to court because they would settle for big dollars because unless they have something on you that they really can't say, they've just said, we fired you.
02:05:11.620
And I think you're going to have a hard time finding a job after that.
02:05:19.460
My interaction with him at all is against their public image, and that's why I'm fired.
02:05:29.540
I'm sorry this happened to you or anybody, but I appreciate it.
02:05:33.940
And like Stu said, you're being much more, I guess, Christ-like than I would be.
02:05:41.920
And you can go to change.org or to what's the other one?
02:05:59.380
Does anybody else think that that's just bowing down to this company?
02:06:02.620
I mean, these companies are bowing down to everybody.
02:06:05.640
If you don't teach these companies a lesson, they're not going to stop.
02:06:11.040
It's an interesting approach there because it seems like he really does want the job
02:06:14.960
And I certainly would not want to come back to a company that treated me that way.
02:06:18.900
But I think he's looking at this and saying, look, this person made a false accusation.
02:06:23.660
I can understand why companies get pressured into these situations, especially in this current
02:06:33.260
He does not have to provide this gift to this company.
02:06:37.480
One of the most common tactics that cyber criminals use to perpetrate their scams is
02:06:44.660
If they can convince you without giving you any information, really, to give them something,
02:06:52.400
a personal information, you're going to have everything in your life skid sideways all of
02:06:57.640
And once they've got you on that hook, things like your identity and reputation can be toast
02:07:01.860
I mean, yes, you could go to work for San Diego power and gas, but you could also have somebody
02:07:09.040
do it to you, you know, and you you're not working for them.
02:07:13.240
You know, you haven't done a good job for them.
02:07:17.580
If you're the type of person who plans well for the future and make sure that you're protected,
02:07:21.120
the very last thing you're going to succumb to when dealing with cyber criminals is fear
02:07:28.300
They detect a wide range of identity threats, usually the ones that you miss.

They can't prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but they

Nancy Green was 56 years old when she was selected as a spokesperson for a new ready-mixed
02:08:20.020
It made its debut in 1893 at the Fair and Exposition in Chicago.
02:08:27.140
She was so kind and so gracious and funny and warm, great storyteller, that her exhibition
02:08:34.600
booth drew so many people that special security personnel were assigned to keep the crowds moving.
02:08:41.140
Because of that, she was signed a lifetime contract, and she became a very wealthy superstar in the
02:08:47.700
advertising world and became the first living trademark in America.

She was born a slave in Montgomery County in 1834.
