Best of the Program | Guests: Tim Ballard, Nancy & Leo Martin | 7/15/19

Hey, today was a really important day for a warning over the horizon, what social media is really doing and how social media is

working now with the government involved in

something called pluralism.

You might think you know the definition of pluralism, but I guarantee unless you're a social justice warrior, you don't.

And how is it playing with these social media outlets?

We show you in today's broadcast.

Also, Tim Ballard joins us.

Tim, will give us a quick update on what's happening with the Nazarene Fund, and then a preview of something that I've been thinking about for a while on the American Covenant.

That's all on today's podcast.

You're listening to the best of the Blenbeck program.

There are

There have been a few times in my career that I have felt the pressure to warn you.

I feel like that is really kind of my job, to warn you on what's over the horizon.

I warned you about the caliphate and the destabilization of Europe, which would then follow here on our own borders, and I was mocked.

The crash of 08.

It was dismissed by the media, mocked, and millions lost almost everything that they had saved in 2008.

I told you how single-payer health care was Obama's goal, and they called it a conspiracy theory.

Even though we had the White House architect on videotape saying, well, it's just right there.

They say it's a Trojan horse, but there it is.

I'm telling you, we'll get single-payer healthcare.

In 99, I told you about Osama bin Laden.

I told you that he would be responsible for, quote, blood, bodies, and buildings in the streets of New York City.

if we didn't take him seriously.

We, of course, did not.

Instead, we played partisan politics, and we paid a heavy price.

In fact, we're still paying that price.

On today's show,

I'm going to share with you a report that has just been released.

It'll go live here in about 55 minutes.

I received it over the weekend in what's called an embargo.

You can't share it until the embargo is lifted.

Now, we have claimed for quite some time

that social media is using algorithms to silence conservatives.

We've told you for quite some time, and you know it, that the social media platforms, the social media publishers, I should say,

are silencing the voices of conservatives.

But we've never really known the who, and we've never really known the why.

Today, we're going to share the why,

and in the coming days, we'll share the who's.

When you see in detail or read it yourself, you will understand how close we are to the loss of freedom.

Because that's what's actually at stake this election.

You may also understand why the left doesn't seem to be worried about this election.

They keep moving further and further to the left.

How and why would they do that?

It doesn't make any sense if you're trying to win

a coalition,

if you're trying to win the heart and mind of America.

Why would you continue to move left when the whole country is telling you, don't go there?

I think we have the answer.

I'm going to share with you a devastating new report, and I want you to call your friends and make sure they're listening.

We'll be doing it in about an hour from now.

I also want you to be ready to go to a web address that I'm going to give you and print this article.

It has a call to action.

At this point, the names are being withheld, but all the evidence is there to see.

But the names are being withheld because

the author doesn't want anyone doxing or anything else.

But I think if you do your own homework, you're going to be able to find exactly who they are.

I know

the people that I sent it to just this morning in Washington, I know they will have the names quickly.

But the reason I want you to print this article is I'm not sure how long you're going to be able to find this article.

But the information is there.

And it's the story of people creating black holes for opposing viewpoints.

We have talked in the last few weeks of being depersoned.

I met with people last week in Washington that have been depersoned.

It's not just silenced.

You have no place left in society.

These people have been flying undercover and under the radar, but I have a feeling by the end of this week, the Senate will be investigating these very names.

I've known one of the authors for about 20 years.

He's extremely reliable, extremely credible,

and he happens

to be in the belly of the beast.

The question you have to ask yourself after you read this,

has this election already been stolen?

Will opposing voices be allowed to speak?

Of course they will be.

But will they be so far behind a digital ghetto wall that no one will actually hear them or find them?

Are we on the actual ledge of the loss of our country and the Bill of Rights?

I believe the answer to these questions, as you will see, is an absolute and clear yes.

You know, most Americans are familiar with the the great wars that we have waged as a nation in defense of freedom and liberty.

Our origin story is a battle between a tyrant King George to defend our allies in World War I to great battles against National Socialism in World War II and communism in the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam.

Most of us have an awareness of America's history as a country and a people who will stand and fight for freedom against any oppressor.

Even in our own own country, our greatest war for freedom against oppression ended up

ended up really

being against ourselves when over 600,000 of us, nearly 3% of the U.S.

population, died fighting in the Civil War.

An equivalent loss today would mean 10 million dead.

But make no mistakes, we are headed toward a civil war unless we find a way to defuse it and find a way to expose those

who are benefiting

and pushing that agenda

most of us know the stories of the past they're part of our national identity proof points throughout our history that while never perfect When push comes to shove, the people of our nation are willing to sacrifice.

They're willing to fight, and yes, they're willing to die for freedom if it must be.

And generation after generation fought to preserve and extend our republic against kings and tyrants, against terrorists, against armies defending slavery.

And when the enemy of liberty has dared to bare their teeth against us,

to our credit as a nation and as a people,

we have embraced and renewed our American culture as one of the warriors for freedom.

How great, then, is the tragedy that while we have defeated every enemy from freedom the world has ever thrown at us throughout our history,

we are now standing on the precipice on the cusp of losing our nation and that very liberty to a few intellectual and political elites

without so much as a whimper

from what could be the last generation of Americans.

I want to set out a scenario and ask you to imagine.

I want you to imagine if a U.S.

president ordered the Secret Service or the FBI to discover the names and addresses of political opponents and publish them in every newspaper in America along with the words racist or traitor.

Can you imagine?

Now,

you don't have to imagine out of thin air because we have had abuses of power like this by presidents or government officials.

And when it's discovered, routinely it results in presidents resigning

or officials being fired.

Ask Nixon.

Ask North.

Ask Comey.

In a democracy, when those in power abuse the trust and the will of the people, there are consequences.

But what happens if somebody figures out a way to shift that power away from government?

What happens when those in government choose to shift power to the unelected, unaccountable groups, to think tanks, to corporations?

And then those government officials join those corporations and use the corporation to exercise that power without accountability, without consequence, and without a way

for the average person to claim constitutional rights.

We are about to cut out our Constitution.

And it's clear for anybody who wants to see it.

This is so much bigger than any other battle I think we've ever fought.

Lincoln said, the only way America will destroy herself is if the enemy comes from within.

We will be our own worst enemy, and this is proof positive.

In about 45 minutes, I'm going to show you how it's working.

Call your friends.

Tell everyone you know.

Turn on the radio.

I'm going to give you clear instructions on where to go so you have all of this information.

I want you to know

I have nothing to do with this information.

I know the author or the co-author of this particular story, but I'm not going to be sending you to a website that I own or anything like that.

This is critical information.

Our greatest strength is our greatest weakness.

We believe in free markets.

That means we think that companies should be allowed to build products and compete for market share without

interference from the government.

Asking a government to step in is always the last resort.

But what do you call it when the government blesses certain of these companies to be able with to operate in a consequence free environment where they are not held accountable by the laws and the standards which bind the rest of us?

And then when those same government officials who granted those powers go to work for those same companies.

When this kind of thing is done for profit, it is called, it's a form of crony capitalism.

It's probably closer to racketeering.

It's illegal and when detected, it's prosecuted.

But those people who set this up, they're not going to be prosecuted

because of the power that they have and the number of people they have in their corner.

What do you call it when this is being done to subvert our system of government and our constitutionally protective freedoms of liberty, privacy, speech, self-defense?

What do you call it when it's done to destroy the Constitution itself to promote a globalist agenda that's all about social justice?

What do you call it?

When a free market is no longer operating as a free market, because governments have granted license to some companies to control the flow of a commodity at their own discretion, then our commitment to capitalist principles no longer applies.

This commodity

is opinion,

is truth,

is your voice.

If the government granted authority of a power and water company to control the flow of electricity and water at their whim without risk of being sued or persecuted for prosecuted for prejudice.

If they could just say, you know what, we're not giving power to these people, water to these people,

because their opinion, because we have deemed as a private company,

do you think we would stand around and say,

no,

you can't do that,

and then just move on.

Or would we demand action?

Imagine not providing water to a Hispanic neighborhood, or providing power to a wealthy neighborhood.

We're going to do it to the wealthy neighborhood, but not the slums.

Or they're going to provide power to the slums, but not the wealthy neighborhood.

Our laws would not allow this kind of bigotry to companies who are providing a public utility.

Oh boy, I use the U-word.

Power, water, phone service, companies who are shown to demonstrate prejudice in favor of one group of citizens over another face the consequences of that discrimination.

They can be fined, they can be sued, they can lose their license to operate it all, but none of these things are happening to these giants that are withholding a very precious, constitutionally protected right

commodity.

The co-founder of Google once said that while the most valuable commodity of the 20th century had been oil, the most important and valuable commodity of the 21st century was data.

When data companies in control of the most important commodity of the 21st century demonstrate extreme prejudice yet receive legal protection against prosecution or lawsuits from the government when they're no longer operating as part of a free market capitalist system.

In fact,

it's worse than that.

The best of the Glenn Beck program.

Hey, it's Glenn, and if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.

Okay, I want you to go to a website.

This is a new website, and I am actually hurting myself because

he has put a new website together that is actually in competition with me.

But I believe what I say: we're not in competition if we're all fighting in the same battle.

So the web address is spinquark.com.

S-P-I-N-Q-U-A-R-K dot com.

Spinquark.com.

When you get there, you look for the story.

It should be up the top.

Welcome to social government.

You see it, Stu?

Okay, go to SpinQuark News.

Okay, when you go to the front page, I guess it is.

You'll have to go to SpinQuark News.

You click go ahead, take it for a spin.

And there it is.

Spinquark exclusive.

Welcome to social justice or social government.

See it?

Okay, yeah.

So it's the first link.

It's the first link on the front.

Yeah.

All right.

Now I want you to take this story and I want you to print it so you have a hard copy of it.

Because I don't know.

I mean, when this we are in a place now where things are going to get very serious, they're not going to let go of power easily.

These people are going to be shunned and smeared.

But as I said, I know them.

It's not going to be easy to smear one of these guys.

And I won't give you any more details on that because

I don't want to out him any more than

he will already be at risk.

This is the story.

I'm going to go to Joe Rogan Experience 1292.

I'm going to read the story that Spin Quark has just published.

Joe Rogan said on that episode, quote, I think Twitter definitely are biased against conservative people.

It's really clear that someone in the company, whether it's up for manual review, whether it's at the discretion of the people that are employees, without a doubt, you're dealing with people that are leaning left.

Ben Shapiro's show, 793, he said, the enemy of the people.

Why is Facebook answering that question from the Daily Beast?

If the Daily Beast goes to Facebook and says, I want the identity of whomever published this Nancy Pelosi video, why is Facebook revealing that identity?

The guy didn't commit a crime.

The guy didn't involve himself in slander or libel.

How in the world is it Facebook's job to answer questions from the Daily Beast about the source of this video?

Well, that's a good question.

And I'm about to give you the answer.

And here it is.

How is it that Facebook, who refuses to dox any of the violent antifaw terrorists that use its platform, they tried to get them to pull down

an antifaw group that was inciting violence just this weekend?

They didn't.

But how is it they won't dox or let any information out or even take them down from their platform?

They are happy to give up personal details of a Facebook user who

anonymously uploaded a slowed video of Nancy Pelosi.

Within minutes,

a journalist from the Daily Beast called Facebook and got the information, the personal information from this person.

Well, does anybody even know how you even call Facebook?

How do you call Facebook?

Nobody knows.

How do you call Twitter?

Well, what if I told you that a policy director at Facebook was Nancy Pelosi's chief of staff before taking that job directing policy at Facebook.

What if I told you that the head of algorithm policy at Facebook worked for Hillary at the State Department?

Or that the head of content policy worked for the Hillary presidential campaign?

What if I told you the person in charge of privacy policy at Facebook used to work for Al Franken?

And before that he worked for Senator Bonoff, before he worked for Congressman Oberstar, or that the director in charge of countering hate and extremism at Facebook came directly from the Clinton Foundation.

Did you know that the person at Facebook who currently oversees, I'm quoting, overseas programs on countering hate speech and promoting pluralism

and develops, still quoting, internal third-party education that drives thought leadership on hate speech and content moderation, end quote, was one of Obama's policy advisors at the White House?

Do the American people even know what pluralism,

the social justice warrior definition of pluralism is?

Remember,

this is in regards to the person that oversees programs on countering hate speech and promoting pluralism

that was one of Obama's policy advisors.

Classical pluralism is the view that politics and decision-making are located mostly in the framework of government, but that many non-governmental groups use their resources to exert influence.

The central question for classic pluralism is how power and influence are distributed in the political process.

Groups of individuals try to maximize their interest.

Lines of conflict are multiple and shifting as power is a continuing bargaining process between competing groups.

Let me boil it down to this.

There are those who believe

that

a mistake like Donald Trump can never happen again, and the only reason why it did is because people, the American people, were too stupid.

And so what they believe

is that because people are too stupid to pick people, power needs to be concentrated in their social media group.

And they will help everyone pick.

That's what they're doing.

And it's not just this social media.

Pluralism, the way they define it now, involves getting people from the government involved.

This is not a shadow government.

This will become the government

because it will make the Bill of Rights and everything else useless.

Now there's also economic pluralism.

The term pluralism is generally used to contrast with so-called mainstream economics teachings, which generally only focus on one school of economic thought called neoclassical economics.

That economic teaching should include other schools of thought such as complexity, institutional, post-Keynesianism, and Marxist economics.

Now, why does Facebook have somebody whose job it is to show others how to use their platform as a type of privatized government and exert influence over the public?

And what exactly does it mean to Facebook to, quote, exert influence, end quote, over the public?

We've been witnessing this a little more day after day.

How about YouTube?

How does Laura Southern's documentary about the border get removed from YouTube within 24 hours of posting without any reason or explanation?

Well, what would you say if I told you that the policy manager at YouTube, before becoming the policy manager at YouTube, was employed by Hillary for America, was also a manager in Obama's campaign before that?

What if I told you that YouTube's global content policy lead previously worked at the DNC?

Did you know that the person responsible for growing the next generation of stars on YouTube worked in the Office of Digital Strategy at the White House under Obama?

Or that the person in charge of developing the careers of YouTube creators was the director of video for Obama?

Speaking of helping the careers of creators, did you know that Vox, the company that got Steven Crowder demonetized, was one of the companies that YouTube doled out $20 million

to for educational videos?

10 people directly connected to the progressive democratic political machine are the ones now controlling our conversations online.

This seemed like it's an important warning.

What if I told you there were nearly 100 more?

Did you know that the policy, public policy manager for global elections at Facebook

was Obama's National Security Council director for Russia before he was a special advisor for Joe Biden?

What kind of election policy do you think he's going to be advocating at Facebook leading into 2020?

Again, you'll find this story at SpinQuark.

You'll need to look for the first link on that front page, and it says take it for a spin.

It's their news page.

And look at their first story.

I want you to tweet this out to everyone.

I think this is a very important story.

I'm only about halfway through.

There's a chalkboard that's going to be happening at 5 o'clock tonight.

I don't want you to miss this on Blazetv.com.

Blazetv.com.

Use my name, Glenn, G-L-E-N-N, and you're going to save 10%.

Watch it tonight.

There is a Facebook, Twitter.

All of this is going to be up on the chalkboard, so you'll be able to understand it.

But it's a little overwhelming with the names and the number of people that are pulled directly from the government.

Let's go on Twitter here for a second.

The primary spokesperson and communications lead for the 2016 U.S.

presidential election at Twitter was previously Kamala Harris's press secretary, a trust and safety manager who developed operations and policies related to privacy and free expression, previously worked at the Clinton Global Initiative and at the State Department under Hillary Clinton.

A Twitter director of public policy was originally a press secretary for John Edwards, Erskine Bowles, and Senator Salazar, by the way, all Democrats.

Oh, and also Senator Barack Obama.

Oh, and he was also the policy director of Obama's presidential campaign and a policy advisor at the White House and a special assistant to the president.

Oh, then he spent three short months on the Clinton Kaine presidential transition team before deciding to take a job directing the public policy at Twitter.

But I'm sure he's fair.

A Twitter public policy director who owned the 2016 election and both party conventions

had previously worked for Senator Wyden, Democrat.

Senator Higgins, Democrat, Bill Foster's congressional campaign, Democrat.

Dick Durbin, Democrat.

Before that, NBC News political desk.

Another Twitter public policy employee was Obama's director for Syria after working in the Hillary State Department.

Twitter's public policy fellow is a Democrat who came to the company after losing his own run for the Washington House of Representatives.

Twitter's associate general counsel, Global Policy, was formerly an advisor to Senator Claire McCaskill after being associate counsel to President Obama.

Twitter's head of site policy was an intern at the William J.

Clinton Foundation, where she wrote letters on behalf of President Clinton to the heads of state.

Twitter's vice president of global public policy worked for a Democratic congressman for 20 years.

The Washington Post called him one of the most influential tech policy operatives you've never heard of.

Progressive Democrats using social media companies

are using it to stifle our free speech online.

This should be the most important discussion of this generation.

So who has the power to silence Americans at YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook?

Who are the people setting the guardrails of our free speech?

We know that it was Twitter policy employees who acted on their own to ban Alex Jones, prompting Jack Dorsey to overrule them before ultimately losing that battle.

Each day we wake up and see the latest way conservative voices are being censored, shadow banned, silently deleted, hidden from view, buried in searches, algorithmed out of existence, depersoned.

Whether it's the biased search results hiding the Donald on Google and Reddit, or their questionable subscriber numbers, whether it's banning Twitter accounts that simply track violence against Trump supporters, creating policy to allow death threats against conservatives,

censoring the Declaration of Independence for hate speech, blocking a conservative Marine for literally saying the sky is blue, labeling Bible verses as porn, or just banning the top conservative voices for no reason at all.

Big tech companies absolutely are controlling our speech.

They are setting up a different government.

These aren't just Democratic voters.

These are employees from the DNC, from the offices of Pelosi, Hillary, Obama, Feinstein, Gifford, Schumer, Reed, Planned Parenthood, and Rachel Maddow,

who are migrating en masse to gatekeeping positions at social media companies.

They didn't learn to code.

They aren't designing the like button or working on Messenger.

They're taking up residency in the policy departments all across the internet, shaping shaping the conversation, pushing agendas, picking who gets featured and who gets blocked, judging who gets banned for life,

dictating the parameters of the algorithm we're not allowed to see that always seem to ratchet in one direction.

This is the best of the Glen Beck program.

A story was sent to me over the weekend,

and I was asked to hold on to it until this morning

at 9 a.m.

We have tweeted it out.

I have sent it to the senators and congressmen that I trust.

The article does not list the names,

but

I don't think it will be long before the names are attached to all of it.

But it's for our purposes, I don't think the names are important.

And this is what one of the authors said to me:

you provide the names, but then they're just going to say, you're endangering these people, blah, blah, blah.

So they withheld the names.

But the discussion was, well, if you don't include the names, does this have any credibility?

Because who are the people?

Believe me, the names are there.

We have the names.

And

we are also vetting.

We'll have more on this by five 5 o'clock

today.

This was co-written by a good friend of mine who I've known for a very long time, who you can tell by the name of the platform

that he started

was called Spin Quark.

So

you can tell they're geeks.

I have no idea what a spin quark is.

Stu, have you looked it up?

Oh, as you obviously know, quarks are a subatomic particle.

I know that.

I know that.

What's a spin?

There's a a property called spin, which has to do with angular momentum.

Ah.

But I mean, I guess Yahoo wasn't catchy at first either.

At least Yahoo I had heard of.

Spinquark.com.

Spinquark.com.

Look for the news

section.

The top of the news section is welcome to social government.

And it exposes the game that is being played.

The most important part of this article, I believe, is

the idea of

pluralism.

And that's what they're going for.

And we've been saying this for a while, that in fact, I've been saying, you see, number four is trust implosion.

We have four things that I've been looking for this year and the next couple of years that will totally change everything.

The first one is polarization and civil unrest.

Going to get bigger, critical stages, 1930 European levels, left, right, Nazis, Antivoc, Communist, Islamist.

That's going to get worse.

The next thing is economic destabilization.

Critical stage.

Bank

failures.

Stock market either melt up or a plunge.

Prices collapse.

Banking disorders.

The third one is tech disruption.

Critical stage, jobs, finance, communications, privacy.

The tech disruption.

That will be something that will make us say, we don't trust tech at all.

The last thing is the trust implosion, critical stage.

Government, media, tech, finance, justice, corporations, EDU.

We won't trust any of those things.

And those groups will begin to gather together to create a new world order.

It's just...

It's just beginning to fully, for me to fully understand

what people were talking about in Silicon Valley about eight years ago with me.

They were saying, Glenn, you don't understand.

Nation states won't exist in the future.

What do you mean nation states won't exist?

They won't exist.

They're just too slow and they're too cumbersome and they just won't exist.

And I couldn't get my arms around what that really meant until the last, really the last year.

And I think you're now seeing it.

See what we are saying that these corporations don't have to be held to the constitutional standards of the Bill of Rights because they're private companies, so they can do whatever they want.

Well, government has figured this out, and government has seen the power,

and they have also seen the protection of the government from the social media side.

They have something that each side wants.

One wants power to reshape the world closer to their heart's desire.

Those are the government people.

And the Silicon Valley people don't mind if it's the right vision for them.

And I shouldn't use right, I should use correct because it's a very leftist global government idea.

No borders, yada, yada, yada.

They like the protection the government has given them.

So the government is now giving them protection so you can't sue them.

Imagine setting up a corporation as large as Facebook, as large as Twitter.

And how do you call them?

YouTube, how do you get them on the phone?

There's no call center for them.

They're worse than the government.

When you go to the government, you have a phone, but you're on hold forever.

Twitter, Facebook, Google, they don't have a, you're not calling them to complain.

You're not calling them and saying, hey, my post was just taken down.

There are no faces attached to any of these things.

That's power.

That's unchecked power.

And what they've done is they've taken all of these bigwigs from all from the left,

from Hillary, Bernie, Obama, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren.

They have all of these people now running their policy departments.

Well, why do you think we're being excluded?

Why do you think that

our voices are being squelched?

And yet, Antifa, this weekend, we're threatening people.

And they're not pulled down.

Why?

Because the people at the top are creating the policy.

And we continue just to take it.

And because we continue to take it, they're allowed to grow stronger and and stronger and stronger.

And our voices are being diminished.

I'm amazed, too, because I'm looking at, you know,

a lot of people tweeting this story with the hashtag social media slavery.

Yeah, please do that.

We want this to trend.

So please, even if you never really even use Twitter, please use Twitter today.

I know we're using their platforms, but this is the way to get this information out.

It's kind of the point of the story, too.

Yes, it is.

In a weird way.

But you realize when you look at the trends, how little,

like, people aren't there, right?

Like, they're not in the middle of these stories.

They're not actually thinking about these things.

Even the big political stories, you know, they might show up on the trending list.

But like, you know, the big trending thing today is Prime Day on Amazon.

I mean, that's what people are actually in, right?

There, you know, there are some things about the president, of course, like everyone's tweeting about his tweet about Elon Omar from yesterday, Trump's tweet from Elon Omar.

Like, I'm always fascinated by Apple News trending stories because I never really was on Apple News at all.

And recently, I've checked it.

And obviously, it pushes stories to you that you will care about, which is what it's supposed to do.

But the trending stories is just general.

The number one trending story on Apple News right now, you ready for this?

Now, I don't know.

Did you dive into this story today, Glenn?

I want to know.

Bradley Cooper and Laura Dern enjoy lunch in New York City.

Oh my gosh.

I mean, it's a number one story.

Lunch.

Then Ramy Malik.

Malik.

Yeah.

Is that the guy from the USA show?

Yeah, and he's also the guy who played

what's his name for him.

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Right.

Yeah.

Bohemian Rhapsody.

And Lucy Boynton.

Now, I know you know who Lucy Boynton is.

No.

Okay.

And then Catherine Schwarzenegger, which I just assume is related to Arnold, but I have to say, no, it's his daughter.

I would like, okay.

And more.

That's number one.

Now, number two is Stephen King

talking about Trump supporters.

Number three is

the Fox News ones are always the craziest stories.

Four kids in Australia pack SUV with fishing rods and drive 600 miles before being stopped by police.

Okay.

And then number four is

this suspect after,

well, that one actually just changed.

It says the suspect arrested after police found Kentucky mom Savannah Spurlock's remains is in due court today.

It was just a BuzzFeed story a second ago about

19 photos that look like, oh my God, or something like that.

It was like, it was that type of thing.

So crazy.

And it's like,

people are not

in tune to these things.

And it's why this story in particular is so important because

if you're able to so easily manipulate a large portion of the United States that isn't paying close attention,

if the left is able to get control of all of these areas with no pushback and no understanding from the United States generally,

we've seen the research.

There's research that shows that just by reordering the results on a site like Google, you can change a 50-50 proposition that's normally a split decision politically to a 90 to 10

decision because you just just by reordering the search results they're all still there they're just in different orders what can you do with social media and the type of power you just went over with the story that that is up with that hashtag social media slavery oh yeah you can easily push people from one side to the other if this story doesn't trend if this story you know it then it doesn't enter the zeitgeist it doesn't it has no place

and that that's the that's the problem these stories they're not being given any room.

You know, if you if you just manipulate the algorithm just a little bit, you can take it off the first five trending stories, and then you got nothing.

You got nothing.

You have to make things trend, and we're up against the wall on this because we're conservatives.

And so a conservative story is going to have a heavy algorithm pushed down.

One exposing social media, but how do you get this story out?

Most people do not get their news from television.

They do not get their news from radio.

Although radio, I think, is still bigger than television now.

They just don't get it.

And, you know, the big thing is something like Twitter has such an outsized

influence as compared to how many people use it.

There's a story out today that 19% of American adults follow Donald Trump on Twitter.

And think about just the

now, remember, if you're on Twitter, it's a very small percentage.

It's only about 20% of Americans are even on Twitter at all.

And the percentage of people who actually use it regularly is even lower.

And of those people, only 19%

actually are following Donald Trump.

And think about literally every time this man says anything while he's sitting on the toilet and he's tweeting.

It becomes a news cycle for days, weeks, even longer sometimes.

And it's all constantly referred to.

So it's not just Twitter, right?

It's Twitter that gets a con, there's a constant feedback loop into every other form of media.

So, it is controlling the entire conversation, basically.

And a lot of that's because it's just easy, right?

Like, how there's no thought that needs to be put into, you know, today, basically, every story from every media source is saying that Donald Trump's, you know, Ilan Omar tweet was racist, right?

So, that is the easiest story in the world.

You don't have to get comment from anybody, everybody.

Everyone's tweeting about it.

So, your comments, instead of being a reporter and calling these people and having to get comment, you just copy and paste their tweet into your story.

And because it's so easy and so sort of mindless, and you can check exactly what stories are getting a certain amount of reaction, you can just formulate the news.

And that is, of course, I will say a big thing that Donald Trump likes about Twitter, right?

He gets to control exactly what they're talking about, and it winds up being a large advantage advantage to him.

But it's also just, you know, separate from the president, a way to constantly control the debate.

And it pushes us into a position where, you know, the American people are voting on things that are being

really

sort of

curated for them.

Oh, yeah.

And you don't know the curator.

You do after reading this story.

You do know the curator now.

And it's not one that you would want curating your news.

This is the worst it's ever been.

And I'm telling you,

the 2020 election is in jeopardy if these

organizations, Google, Facebook, Twitter, if these organizations are left as a platform and they have the protection of the United States government,

if they get that platform and they keep that protection through the 2020 election, you should worry about the president being able to win because this algorithm, the way they're running it, actually has been proven

to work in the favor of who's ever controlling the algorithm.

And they were controlling it in 2016, but it was a very early attempt.

2018 was worse.

And 2020, they'll have it down.

We have Tim Ballard with us.

He is the author of several books, and this is actually how I knew Tim to begin with, But we'll get into that a little later because we have something really important to share with you.

But he is the founder and CEO of Operation Underground Railroad.

He's also the CEO of the Nazarene Fund.

I want to get a quick update on the Nazarene Fund because there's some amazing things that have happened.

And let me just, if I can, just I'm going to go through some of them.

We have, in just 2019, assisted in the relocation of 25,053 refugees, Provided support for 27,300 internally displaced persons.

Delivered food, medicine, heating oil, and supplies to over a dozen Christian and Yazidi refugee camps in Iraq, Lebanon, and Jordan.

Project Roham, which rescued desperate Syrian Christians fleeing the fighting in Syria and were being abused by Iranian-backed militias as they traveled to find safety in

Iraqi Kurdistan.

In Thailand, we have a group of about 300 people.

They're Christians.

They're stranded in a jungle.

Why are they stranded in a jungle?

Because the Burmese military doesn't like Christians, and they're driving them out of their homes.

Right.

They're coming up to these communities, and they're slaughtering them at night,

slaughtering them.

We've been delivering food, medicine, and...

Believe it or not, plastic tarps to make rain-proof shelters.

This is the way the UN usually does stuff, is they'll just take these horrible tarps and make them into tents, and then they just leave.

We're not leaving.

We're staying and this is the best that anyone can do in this particular situation.

We also have a team that's providing security for evacuations in the event of another attack like what happened last year.

We also have been involved in March and April.

We rescued, transported, and provided aid to 75 Yazidi women and children during and immediately after the fighting that had been happening in Syria.

We have helped reunite former captives with their families while providing food, medicine, shelter, transportation, and surgeries for the critically wounded.

How's the little boy?

What's his name?

Zinel?

Zanel, yeah.

He was in Baguz.

That's the last town that the Allied forces had had to push ISIS out of, and they lost their sovereignty finally.

But the problem is people think it's over because they don't control any sovereign land, but that's not true.

Al-Qaeda never controlled any sovereign land.

They're just as big a threat.

There's been over a thousand just this year attacks that ISIS has launched against Christians and Yazidis.

It's just, it's, it's horrific what's going on, and they're largely being forgotten.

They tell us all the time, the Nazarene Fund, you're the last people still here.

And it's the truth.

Yeah.

We're running very low on funds for the Nazarene Fund.

Please

donate $5 a month, $10 a month,

and help us.

It takes $20 to free a slave today, $20.

So we really need your help.

Just go to nazarenefund.org, nazarenefund.org.

And this little boy, Zionel, 12 years old, sweet kid.

We'll post pictures up on the website.

He has shrapnel up in his kidneys.

His leg,

he's close to losing his leg.

He could lose his leg.

We got him out.

He was stuck in the final fight.

And he was four years a slave, right?

Yes, that's right.

And now we have him out.

We have him in a safe house.

He's healing, but

we're raising money specifically for this little boy.

Check out the pictures.

It's just horrifying.

But we can heal him.

Okay.

We have 11 special cases that we're currently working on.

A nine-year-old Christian girl, Christine, rescued along with her family.

She's already out of Iraq and

resettling in Australia, where this community in Australia is amazing.

It's amazing.

How many people have we moved there?

Do you know?

Thousands.

Thousands.

And they're building churches.

We're helping.

They're building these Christian churches, these little, beautiful little, you know, houses of worship, and they're so happy.

They're free.

And the girl that we were,

that everybody thought was lost,

we found her as a slave,

rescued her, right?

Yes, sir.

What's her name?

Naveen.

Naveen.

12 years old.

Imagine this.

And I want people to personalize this.

Imagine terrorists storming your home, ripping your 12-year-old daughter out of your hands, and you don't see her for three years and kill the father.

Mother's a sex slave as well.

Three years later, we get the mom out.

And she's just a mess.

Where's my daughter?

Where's my daughter?

We couldn't find our daughter.

All the reports that we had said that she was gone.

She was dead.

So, mom goes on to Australia,

sadly, but she has to go.

And then a few months later, we get to call her and say, You won't believe this.

We found your daughter.

She's now 16 years old.

She's healing.

We're getting her papers.

We're expediting.

Australia has just been a godsend.

They have been.

And it's just taking people in.

And so we, in about a couple of weeks, Glenn, we're so excited.

We're going to go out to Iraq, pick her up, and deliver her to her mom in Australia.

And we're trying to work with your healing career.

I really want, I really want want to go.

I'm on vacation that week, and if I can convince my family, I think I'm just going to go with you because I really want to see that.

And I want to meet the people.

These people have been so great that we have taken out.

You know, all these countries say,

you can't take the people out.

You can't trust them, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Yes, you can.

You just have to know how to vet them.

That's right.

And that's what the Nazarene Fund does, right?

Australia has recognized us as the preeminent kind of organization that can vet.

They know that we're sending them good people, citizens, great people, and they're thriving in Australia today.

And enjoying freedom, and they will be giving back to Australia.

The only thing that's holding us back, again, is funding, and we really need your help at Nazarenefund, the Nazarenefund.org.

Okay, I'm going to pause for one minute, then I'm going to come back because

I want to talk to Tim about a couple of other things.

And they revolve around a book that he wrote

10 years plus ago

and he's been following this storyline and he's gotten to the pilgrims

but I want him to tell you the story and I want you to see what's happening

in Massachusetts where the pilgrims are going to be where we're going to be quote celebrating 400 years the 400th year of the landing of the pilgrims the town has decided they're not going to use the word celebration Wait until you hear this story, and it ties into what I believe we have to do in the next 12 months.
