You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the Political Cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
And Jack,
ladies and gentlemen.
It has been a while since we've had the opportunity to converse with TPC's longtime correspondent, going back now at least a couple of years, Jack.
He's our man everywhere.
Chicago, you name it.
But Jack's back tonight, and he's back.
He's still in Africa.
You know, so the last time we had Jack on, everybody remembers Jack.
Everybody knows Jack, longtime TPC contributor.
Normally gives us those recommendations on books and movies and songs.
Anyway, Jack left to go to Africa at the end of January.
The last time he appeared on this show was January the 25th.
Shadow mistake, Jack.
The live broadcast of January the 25th.
And he has been in Africa ever since.
Of course, since then, we've had this global pandemic.
We've had lockdowns.
We've had travel restrictions.
So we're going to get to the bottom of it all with Jack.
But first, let's welcome Jack back.
Jack, you know, we had the World Tour Series a couple of months ago, and we marveled at these people in London and Croatia and all these other places that were staying up late.
I don't know if any of them stayed up to 3 a.m. as you're doing tonight.
It's 3 a.m. where you are in Africa and you're live.
I set the alarm, so it's a seven-hour time difference.
Hello, gentlemen.
Thank you.
Hey, but nevertheless, you woke up at 3 a.m. just to be on with the audience.
We know you need your beauty sleep.
I know you wouldn't do that, Keene.
Oh, absolutely.
Jack, welcome back, buddy.
It's been too long.
Great to have you.
Thanks so much.
Yeah, I just wanted to send my best to all of our listeners and say I'm still alive.
But I'd like to start on kind of just a little bit of a somber note.
And I'd hope that you and our listeners could just take a brief moment to sort of silence and say a prayer for my stepdaughter, right?
I developed a lot of my life through it.
Unfortunately, she took her life and passed away.
And this is something I've been, I've known her since she was three, and she's a tremendous, beautiful, intelligent.
But this world is a rough place.
It's a corrupt place.
And we try to warn our children alike about it.
We try to fight through, but she succumbed to the corruptions of this world.
And so I just would like to just, for a silence, say a prayer for her, Sol, and hopefully we'll get through it.
By all means, Jack, I appreciate it.
Of course, I had known that the tragedy had occurred, having been in touch with you, obviously, since your last appearance, the rest of the audience had not.
But actually, let's just take just a few seconds, just a moment of silence for Jack's stepdaughter.
That's fine.
That's fine. Thank you.
And that is a tragedy.
No, well, you're very welcome.
I mean, that's, of course, the least we could do.
I had seen, you know, had known about your stepdaughter and had seen pictures of her, very beautiful, very young, and it's a tragedy that someone would take her life.
And I appreciate you sharing that with the audience.
One of the things that I think makes this show so special is that we do share ourselves with the audience.
It's a rough place, but it's also not only that complicated when you get down to when you can see evil and you can try to steer your loved ones away from it.
And the evil of this world will target our people in many ways, particularly our young, very beautiful women.
They will look to corrupt them and get them into bad things and bad people.
And the good does not always get through.
You do what you can, but this world is a rough place.
But I do believe we are religious people.
We believe that the soul doesn't die.
And I pray for her soul.
We'll get through it.
But we, the living, have to go on, and we are going on, and we will do our best.
And we're good people, but we're tough people.
And I've been through a lot, and I'm not giving up.
And you can't run away.
You try to see other things.
I haven't traveled internationally for about 20 years.
So I just felt I needed to do something new.
I had to get away from this presidential election that goes on.
That same country will have elections for like three weeks.
Ours goes for a year and a half.
And when you couple it with this terrible alien media, it's just so annoying.
I needed a break.
I had to get away.
And that's some connection.
Tell us what you like about South Africa, Jack.
You obviously felt like you needed a change of pace, and it sounds like it was a good one for you, basically.
Well, it was a change.
I was hoping to see a lot of Southern Africa, not just Southern Africa, but Botswana and Namibia, and even the kind of tourist parts of Zimbabwe.
I know a lot about the history.
I have some contacts here.
And it's a little bit of an adventure.
It was a 32-hour flight at a switch over in Dubai.
It wasn't, it was rough, rough to get here.
But I made it here.
The Western Cape is one of the most beautiful places in the world with mountains and beaches.
And it was going really good.
I was very surprised with how clean, how moderate the malls are excellent.
And the people are very friendly of all races.
There are, this is somebody I didn't know, there's about, I'd say that there's about 5 million illegal aliens from other black African countries that are working here.
The population is as big as the white population.
And the people that have jobs here of all races are real happy to be here.
They have a good work ethic.
They're happy that they don't live in some brutal economy and social structure of Zimbabwe collapsed.
So you have people working in here.
And everyone here, you know, they're aware of the situation.
You see a lot less.
You don't see that many blankos.
When I'm in the United States, I just have to deal with all these idiots who have no clue about history or current events.
They have just insane journeys about crime and punishment.
Chicago, even just on a regular area, is violent.
It's regressing to 1980s type of anarchic tyranny.
But here you look at it.
People, Lyft drivers, they work, and there's nobody here that just wants to let criminals, rapists, murderers go or anything like that.
I was checking out the place, getting around.
The famous wildlife places are more higher up north, Kruger National Park, where they have the wild animals and things like that.
So I went to an animal place, but it was a rescue place where they had animals that had been abused by humans, lions, and the like.
And this is kind of sad.
But I was very impressed with how healthy and how the European are really good-looking people.
These Dutch Afrikaner people, very beautiful families, own some children, and just I've had more attractive women be nice to me in my trip here, like in this couple of months in the last like eight years in Chicago.
And I'm trying to learn some of the language.
The locals have their own separate language, Afrikaans.
It's like Dutch.
I was learning it.
And just healthy people, hiking, good sport.
Tremendous produce that they have fruits and wine and beer industry.
And then this coronavirus kind of hit.
It kind of did.
It did.
We'll talk about that later, but I can get my experience.
I'm on lockdown.
I've been locked up.
We're going to get to the bottom of all of it.
We're going to talk to you about what Jack's seen, his experiences, everything.
It's going to be a deep dive this hour with Jack Ryan, so stay tuned.
And we're just getting started.
Jack Ryan, live from South Africa, 3 a.m. past 3 a.m. in the morning.
We'll be right back.
Do we reflect about our future and where we as a culture are moving?
Do we keep our trust in our jobs, homes, money, life necessities, investments, stock markets?
Do we believe that our 401ks or other retirements will always be there and that the current economic order will recover?
Is the economy going to recover and life return to normal?
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medjagoria.
Whether you are poor, middle class, or rich, it ain't going to happen.
A book of astounding revelations about the present economic order and where we are heading.
It ain't going to happen by a friend of Medgagoria.
To order, visit medge.com, spelled NEJ.com, or call Caritas in the U.S. 205-672-2000.
Why don't we say to the government, writ large, that they have to spend a little bit less?
Anybody ever had less money this year than you had last?
Anybody better have it a 1% pay cut?
You deal with it.
That's what government needs, a 1% pay cut.
If you take a 1% pay cut across the board, you have more than enough money to actually pay for the disaster relief.
But nobody's going to do that because they're fiscally irresponsible.
Who are they?
Republicans.
Who are they?
Democrats.
Who are they?
Virtually the whole body is careless and reckless with your money.
So the money will not be offset by cuts anywhere.
The money will be added to the debt, and there will be a day of reckoning.
What's the day of reckoning?
The day of reckoning may well be the collapse of the stock market.
The day of reckoning may be the collapse of the dollar.
When it comes, I can't tell you exactly, but I can tell you it has happened repeatedly in history when countries ruin their currency.
Hey, listen up.
This is a deep state alert.
Former Texas Congressman Steve Stockman, who moved to arrest Lois Lerner for contempt of Congress, has been imprisoned by the very office that Lerner led.
You heard right.
Stockman hit the Obama administration hard and they hit back with the full force of the federal government.
The guy who said he wanted Mark Levin as Speaker of the House was the first to threaten Obama's impeachment, exposed Hillary's selling steel to the Iranians, and blocked both Obama's immigration and gun bills from even reaching the House.
But Obama holdovers came after him in federal court with trumped-up charges and have locked our guy up.
Like many others, he was on Obama's hit list.
Steve fought for us in Congress.
Now we need to fight for him.
Don't abandon this wounded hero on the battlefield.
Let's help cover his massive legal costs.
To chip in five bucks or more, text the word fight to 444-999.
That's fight, F-I-G-H-T to 444-999 or go to defendapatriot.com.
That's DefendAPatriot.com.
To get on the show and speak with James and the gang, call us toll-free at 1-866-986-6397.
And now back to tonight's show.
All right, welcome back.
James Edwards, Keith Alexander, TPC Jack Ryan, live in Africa tonight.
We're going to find out a little bit later this hour what it's like to spend a coronavirus lockdown in Africa.
But first, let's do a quick, what do they call it in the NFL when the quarterback does, what, a check down when he's looking for the wide receivers?
Let's go quickly down the list of questions, Jack, and then we'll get up to the current.
Firstly, firstly, going back to January, your last appearance at the end of January, what was the original purpose of your trip?
Now, you just mentioned it in the last hour, but let's quickly answer that officially, and then we'll go down the checklist.
Well, I just, I needed a break.
I needed to get away from the United States.
I'd already done a lot of things like get rid of my cable TV and I could in a very expensive sports club in Chicago because the owner insists on piping CNN over the TV, which is just torture.
But I just, I needed a break from the United States, particularly from Chicago, and I wanted to do something new to get some new perspective.
And it always worked back after I traveled after college and graduate school when I was in Europe is to get to look at the United States as an expat, something that a lot of people I really admire, like Ernest Emmingwaite did.
And you get a perspective on your life in the United States by living somewhere else around other cultures that are related to ours, but you can look back on it.
So that was the idea is to do something new to reach out to go to an interesting part of the world.
And I've always had a sense of adventure when I left Chicago.
I went to college in the South in Nashville, Tennessee.
My locals thought I was just really crazy that the people wouldn't do that.
You need to go to a Midwest Big Ten school or Eastern school.
I want to do something different.
And I went to the South, which was a different part of the world.
And it was an adventure.
It was a good part of the world.
And it was one of the best things I ever did.
So I sort of decided to go on a little bit of an adventure, get a new perspective on life.
And it's been interesting.
One good thing, the exchange rate is fantastic.
It's 20 South African rand for a dollar.
And so you can just get great deals.
And you might as well take advantage of the good things about the United States when there's so much bad.
So the 20 to 1 exchange rate is good.
And yeah, that's what I did.
And it's a beautiful, just a beautiful part of the world, one of the most beautiful parts ever in the world.
And they've got industries that, even though the government's really bad, tourists is an industry from mostly from Europe, not very much from the United States.
And they have Dutch and German, Swedish people come down and are really into sports.
Tremendous.
You ever see these kite surfers that they go on a surfboard and then there's these table goes, takes them flying up in the air and they fly out.
And tremendous athletes.
It's not something I'm going to do.
Water's too cold on the Atlantic side of the.
I've seen that down in the Gulf of Mexico.
Yeah.
Well, let me remind you folks, just to state the obvious, tonight as we broadcast live, it's Saturday, May 2nd.
Jack has been in Africa since the end of January.
So that's a long time.
And, of course, I don't think any of us anticipated this pandemic, the lockdowns, the restrictions, the quarantines.
But Jack, before all of that happened, as quickly as you can, tell us the sites you saw, the people you met, what you've been up to pre-quarantine.
Okay, well, I did regular touristy things.
Now, they've got these mountains right off of downtown, Table Mountain Lion's Head, which is beautiful, and there's a flat-top mountain.
I think it's one of the 10 natural wonders of the world.
And it just sets off the city just very, very well.
I tried to hike up the mountain.
I make some excuses.
Maybe I took the wrong path, but I was going up going stiff.
And there was this really fit local South African guy that was doing laps going around.
I'm like, am I getting close?
Am I halfway?
I was like, no, you're not even like a quarter of the way there.
So I quit.
I went back down, took the cable car up, drank wine for the rest of the day.
They have tremendous beer and wine in South Africa, and they took advantage of those things.
And it's very easy to make friends in pubs.
Well, you know, I get the sense, Jack, from hearing you that you are, it's not like you're fed up with South Africa.
You like South Africa.
You're still enjoying South Africa and still enjoying being there, which I think is a message we need to get out to America.
We have this idea that South Africa is some type of hell on earth for white people, but it apparently isn't, is it?
No, I mean, obviously I haven't seen the whole country.
So Jack's on vacation.
He didn't live in there like what we know.
We'll actually get a weird guy in a state of like I am.
Well, we'll actually get to what you've seen as a tourist versus the reality for the less fortunate residents of South Africa in terms of their daily lives.
We'll get to that, but I'm trying to get first-hand perspective, what you've seen, what you've done, who you've talked to, the people, the locals, the tourists.
Obviously, a lot of people are there.
But did you intend when you left at the end of January, the last time you were on this program, I know you had a layover in Dubai for like a day, and then you went on down.
You've been there since the end of January, though.
Did you intend to stay this long originally?
No, I didn't intend to stay this long, but I'm fleeing.
I'm sorry.
I am an expat and I'm fleeing the chaos and corruption of anarch tyranny of the United States.
And I just, the insanity of the presidential election, we just had to go four years of just every day where the media is complaining that Trump won the election.
You just go on every single day.
Oh, there's a Russian conspiracy.
They stole it from Hillary.
They're going on.
I mean, like, come on.
It's like being tortured.
And I just needed a break.
I needed to get, I needed to get out of that world.
And it's a different, I thought I knew a lot about South African culture and like, but there's other things that I've just been surprised about that these people have been living here for a long, long time, Europeans, like 400 more, as long as there have been Europeans in the United States.
So one of the things that I sort of didn't realize is that I thought that the colored people were just mixed race people.
They have it.
But a lot of the roughest areas of the country are colored as opposed to black.
So you go into someplace downtown, and I met a friend, a girl, I'm going out with her.
And then I walk across down the street.
I'm street smart.
I'm from, I went as a Brooklyn public school teacher in Chicago.
I know I handled myself on the street, and there's this creature coming down.
He's got a military shorts, but he's bare chested, and he's holding his head, which was bleeding, coming down the street.
And so I'm like, I noticed it and I just sort of stepped a little aside.
And my friend, she did too.
And they're drug addicts to this drug called TIC, a very cheap drug.
And they're homeless zombies that have that.
So this was a new experience that I had.
What is a colored person?
Tell us that.
In terms of South Africa, what is a colored person?
Well, I mean, the main distinctions are there's white Europeans who are predominantly two groups, the English, British, and the Dutch Afrikaans.
And then there's the various black tribes, the largest tribes being Xhosas and Zulus.
Where we are over here is COSA.
But black tribes don't get along at all.
Like, they'll just go hammer at each other.
But then there's colors, which were the bastardization of the sailors and the like.
You think of it just like a mixed-race couple.
Those would be one colored.
But any of these other groups, whether they're Malaysian or Indian or the likes, are colored.
And they're successful colored people that are Indians, business people, get along.
But the new one, which is you've got all kinds of new people.
The borders have collapsed.
So again, there's 5 million at least black African illegal immigrants.
And then the communist Chinese have made their imprint here.
And boy, they're not liked anywhere by regular people.
They get in, they bribe in, and they don't pay taxes.
So the Communist Chinese have made their presence here.
And things are happening.
They were having rolling blackout of electricity.
So there was problems because the government's corrupt.
It messed up the electorate.
But the vocals were dancers.
They're doing their own thing.
So I'm very optimistic about people.
People are good people.
They're not.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Jack, hold on, brother.
It's 3.30 in the morning, 3.30 a.m. Sunday morning as we broadcast live 8.30 p.m. in the Central Time Zone of the U.S. Jack's old time zone when he was still, he's an expat now, I guess.
Exposing corruption.
Informing citizens.
Pursuing liberty.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
USA Radio News with John Hunt.
The Food and Drug Administration has granted Remdesivir Emergency Use Authorization to Treat the Most Severely Ill COVID-19 patients.
I'm pleased to announce that Gilead now has an EUA from the FDA for Remdesivir.
And you know what that is because that's been the hot thing also in the papers and in the media for the last little while.
An important treatment for hospitalized coronavirus patients.
I spoke with Dr. Kahn and Dr. Fauci.
I spoke with Deborah about it.
We've been doing work with the teams at the FDA, NIH, and Gilead for spearheading this public-private partnership to make this happen very quickly.
The announcement came during an Oval Office meeting between President Donald Trump, HHS Secretary Alex Azar, FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn, and the CEO of Gilead Sciences.
This is USA Radio News.
This is a message from everyone at MetaShare.
There's a Bible verse that tells us to be anxious for nothing.
Instead, it says we're supposed to present our request to God with thanksgiving.
And there is something about being thankful, especially in the midst of anxiety.
And with that in mind, the staff and members of MetaShare have something to say to all of our health professionals right now, doctors, nurses, all hospital staff.
Thank you.
Thanks for what you do and what you may be called on to do in the days ahead.
Thank you, first responders.
Thank you to shopkeepers and grocers and the men and women working late nights to restock the shelves.
Thank you, cashiers in the checkout aisle.
Thank you, delivery drivers and factory workers and caretakers for our elderly for all you're doing to protect them and give them comfort.
So many people to thank.
More than we can mention, important people who have their own lives, their own families to be concerned about, and what they're doing is a blessing to us.
So from the hundreds of staff and more than 400,000 members of MediShare, thank you.
More than 1 million people around the world have now recovered from coronavirus, according to Johns Hopkins University.
There have been over 3 million confirmed cases worldwide.
The United States still has the most confirmed cases worldwide, also has the most recoveries with over 153,000.
Germany, Spain, and China trail the U.S. respectively.
The numbers come as some lockdowns and restrictions are being lifted across the globe.
Conservationists from the Democratic Republic of Congo fear the coronavirus pandemic could soon even reach the country's mountain gorillas amid reports that cats and dogs are testing positive for the virus.
With nearly 1,000 left in the world, the mountain gorilla population is already at risk from climate change and poachers.
The nonprofit group Guerrilla Doctors is on high alert since respiratory infections are the second leading cause of death among gorillas.
They've now locked down an area which normally allows visitors to all but necessary personnel.
This is USA Radio News.
Welcome back.
To get on the show, call us on James's Dime at 1-866-986-6397.
All right, and we're back.
And yes, folks, I am aware, a lot of emails, a lot of messages over the course of the last segment or two that some of the live streams were down when we have too many people tuning in.
Sometimes that happens, but we are back.
Everything seems to be working at full strength now.
But don't worry, if you were amongst the afflicted, the broadcast archive will be 100% intact.
So if you missed any part of this hour, it will be intact when you go to the broadcast archives a couple of hours from now when we get them posted after the fact.
So don't worry.
A full show will be ready for you then and there.
Jack, a lot of questions, a lot of emails for you tonight.
One of your fans up in Michigan writes this.
We announced at the beginning of the show tonight what the outline was.
Mark Weber in the second hour.
Keith and I for a variety hour during the first hour.
And then we're going to spend an entire hour with you in the third hour finding out the lowdown from your last three months of sheltering in place in Africa.
But one of your fans in Michigan writes this, it made my night to hear that Jack would be back.
I've seen messages from Jack on some of the sites that I read and have read that he's stranded in Africa.
Where has he been?
And my main question is, has he visited Irania, the private all-white community in Central Africa, Central South Africa?
So the two-part question, where have you been, Jack?
Where are you sheltering and have you visited Irania?
Okay, I have spent almost all the time on the Western Cape, which is around Cape Town.
So I've not, Irania is up in the north.
It's north to the Western Cape.
I have followed it.
So there's ways to follow it, and we know people there.
And it is a success, and I think it's a good model.
Obviously, that's the most they have a complete separate town, but I can follow the model.
And I know that this model can work for our people in a variety of ways that they do, is that they set up a semi-separatist culture and economy, and it's a community.
And so one of the worst things that we ever had got into was this anything goes individualism libertarian.
So I am one of the strongest criticisms, critics of this selfish individual libertarian cult.
And it's a cult that's got in.
So Irania is a community and they do a lot of cooperatives.
And I've done that in my own life.
Instead of having a condo, you live in a cooperative.
You have shares of the building.
And you've got to work together to make the the place go.
It's not just anybody does whatever they want and sells to whoever they want or or or things like that.
So yes, we know people in Irania.
We've got it.
Now, they it is a religious community.
And the Dutch have one side of it, the Afrikaners, if they're a strict Christian one, which is different for a lot of people.
Some of the people have a hard time making it go.
I think there are ways to make it go without necessarily having it.
But it does have a church if you if you do have it.
And I think I'm following it.
I think they do pretty good public relations, but they're also they're telling the lie to try to say that they're good South Africans too.
So they do interviews and they're wearing masks and they're cooperating the lockdown and they're going on and and then they get to it's like, how many instances of coronavirus have you had?
And there's like not a single one.
So why is everybody going around in masks when you when it because you take precautions, you have healthy people and you're not around infected Chinese communist people coming in.
So why do they why do they have it?
But they feel that they have to put out the PR that they're good, they're loyal to the country and they're growing food and helping people.
And, you know, so so they uh so that they do that.
Um, what was the other question?
Uh, where are you at?
Let's say, well, I already deleted where you at?
Have you been to Irania?
Well, let's ask you this very quickly.
I know Keith wants to chime in, but here in America, they're gassing chickens and aborting pigs and Alex Jones has lost his mind and he wants to eat his neighbors and you can only go down one direction down the aisles at Walmart and you got to wear a mask to get into Kroger.
So, you know, things are breaking down here.
What is lockdown like in Africa?
Well, w one thing I do notice is that the country and the the government and the media follows the lead of Europe and the United States.
So if they do something there, the government and the media is going to do it here.
So this this plague, obviously, it started in the wet markets in China and then it went to Europe, firstly through Italy where they have sweatshops of these Chinese.
We just didn't get it here in Africa.
Now, there was a lot of reasons.
I mean, we didn't just have these wet markets, communist Chinese.
And then it but it's also it fluctuates in flu season in the Midwest where it's wet and cold.
And it's it's reversed in the southern hemisphere.
Summer is is winter and winter is summer.
So they didn't have it.
So yeah, you everybody people are going around and they have those just draconian rules about where you can go.
And the real problem is in the congested, highly packed, unsanitary townships.
And and they just have brutal rough fares.
But you're you're outside.
So every mom that I've ever heard of in my life has always said to the kids, like, get some fresh air and sunshine.
It's good for you.
Get out there.
So that's what our people should be doing is getting fresh air and sunshine.
The idea they're going to lock people down and pour some inside is so people unfortunately cooperative.
They want to try to say that they're law abiding and that they don't get in trouble.
So it's sort of ridiculous that you have to do these things.
But you got to get sun in your backyard.
The thing I closed as I say is it's like I'm I'm one of the Russian royals at the end where you're locked down and you're and there's servants, good food, and you're you're there, you're treated very well, but you're locked down.
Uh but what happened to the Russian royals again is they got locked down and under there, then they got butchered by the Bolsheviks.
I tell you, twenty five percent of my family's Russian.
So I hope I do a little bit better than than uh the Russian royals did at the at at the end.
But people here are they're prepared.
You don't see these blancos, these idiot people that they know that the government, what the government can do, and they plan.
They've got their own security.
And it's a very prosperous place.
And I see alternative things happening.
They're also, their locals are internationals that they work in other places.
They've got communities, obviously in Australia, but they work a lot in Dubai, in that wealthy Arab Emirates.
And Dubai, they like them.
Afrikaner South Africans have a good reputation from a good work ethic.
And the religion, you've got to finesse it a little bit, but our people can work there.
So there are other international communities, Lebanese, Jews.
It's sort of one thing that these people now, the South Africans, that they're an international community.
They have their own culture.
In the case of the Afrikaners, they got their own language and culture, which helps.
But they can move and keep their community.
And if one place goes down or something like that, they don't just give up.
And I think it's something that we should consider too, is not be locked down.
Yeah, you like to think that every part of the United States can base and take them back, but a lot of places like Baltimore or the rough parts of New York City or Sally Chicago, they just ain't coming back.
You know, you got to find something else, go some otherwhere, and learn some languages.
Don't insult the locals by insisting everybody's got to speak English and watch American TV shows and crap.
And I'm up.
I'm learning the language.
I'm taking interest in people.
The locals appreciate that.
So I'm making some friends.
Well, Jack, let me ask you this.
What is your headquarters over there?
Are you in Cape Town?
Is that primarily where you are?
Suburb of Cape Town, a suburb of Cape Town, wealthy suburb.
And the Western Cape Town.
What other major metropolitan areas in South Africa have you been to?
And give us a thumbnail description assessment of those places.
I've just gone out.
The only urban area I have is Cape Town.
There's a big difference between Cape Town and Johannesburg and Pretoria.
Cape Town is more like the good, I think, a little more California and it's a touristy area.
It's much whiter, and the blacks are not in the majority in the Western Cape.
Johannesburg.
Is that where the basic, where the European tourists go to, Cape Town?
Yep.
Yeah, they did.
I mean, they used to go to other parts of the place, too.
I mean, they still Kruger National Park, the greatest wildlife park in the world, is in the northern part over Johannesburg.
But the city of Johannesburg has really fallen down in dystopian ways, abandoned areas.
Yeah, even more so than there.
And everybody, black, white, whatever, is just they were just really happy they were in Cape Town instead of in Johannesburg.
Now, certain things fell down here, too.
They don't have public transportation train because they have these taxi cab drivers where they just are terrible.
They jam people in the taxi cabs, and then they shovel black workers around the cities and the suburbs, and they want to monopolize it.
So there was a train, they've like bombed the trains, and they had kids invade them and attack the people.
So they want a monopoly on all transportation.
And if you get it in rush hour, then these taxi drivers are a menace.
They drive on sidewalks and everything like that.
Well, tell us more about this taxi driver of Cadre.
Who are they?
And why are they so politically powerful?
Why are they a big gang of people that monopolize these van taxi ones?
They're a terror on the one, and they're out of control.
So that's one thing that Jack, a lot of questions coming in to you from listeners who want to know what it's like to be on lockdown in Africa.
Basically, everything we've been talking about, we've got to do a rapid fire segment in the next segment.
So as quick as you can, as many questions as we can.
You know where the solution can be found, Mr. President?
In churches, in wedding chapels, in maternity wards across the country and around the world.
More babies will mean forward-looking adults, the sort we need to tackle long-term, large-scale problems.
American babies in particular are likely going to be wealthier, better educated, and more conservation-minded than children raised in still industrializing countries.
As economist Tyler Cowan recently wrote, quote, by having more children, you're making your nation more populous, thus boosting its capacity to solve climate change.
The planet does not need for us to think globally and act locally so much as it needs us to think family and act personally.
The solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.
Have we realized the assault against our lives, our liberties, our faith?
To defeat this assault, Christians and all people of goodwill should have strategies to prevail in our faith and principles, which are simple.
No need for a complex formula.
One goal, one aim.
A strategy like the heroic Christians of the past.
We win, they lose.
Nothing less.

But let's go back to Jack Ryan live in South Africa tonight.
It is 3.47 a.m.
Question session.
We got to go as quick as we can, Jack, because the public away.
And we're out of time.
We talked about where you are, what you're seeing, what you're hearing.
Here's a good question with regard to the lockdown.
The curfew, we understand, is in effect where you are.
From 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., is that curfew being enforced?
Let's go as quickly as we can through these questions because we've got a lot of them for you.
Is the curfew being enforced?
I think it is being enforced.
I don't really see, you hear about the heavy hand of the government, the military.
Everything here is private.
They have their own private security and things like that.
And so people are not flaunting the lockdown or things like that.
But the things that are so strict, the idea you go out for a little bit of a walk or something to do that.
So, no, the restaurants and bars, nothing is open or anything like that.
You are locked down, so you have to have your own private life, which people here do.
And there are things like, I have some training in survivalists for food and things like that.
But all liquor sales have been cut down, so people have to go around.
There's a black market and getting wine to people, and you can trade certain things.
That's actually interesting.
You see, that's an interesting observation because here, liquor stores in the United States are essential, but churches are shut down.
So that's actually an interesting compare and contrast.
Let's keep going.
It is rapid fire.
What about reports of police brutality, the ban on the sale of tobacco, the importation of Cuban medical staff, in short, the transition into a full communistic state?
Have you picked up, seen, heard anything like that?
Yeah, they have that.
They don't sell alcohol and cigarettes.
Now, part of it is bullying by just the power just to show the leftist black rural government showing their power and messing with regular people.
But they're also, you're going to get, and this is this vestige of the Bible people and things like that, is when things are rough, they want to try to take away what they consider to be sinful things that smoking cigarettes or having a beer or something like that.
So they have that influence that's there.
And that just comes out in that certain time that people, you know, there.
So they'll try to cut that out and say, oh, that's something that they should do.
And in rough times, you shouldn't be sinning by having a beer or something like that.
So that's just a feature of people.
And this is a predominantly Christian country.
Now, there are Muslims here in the colored community, and they've got their own kind of one as separate.
Because the issue of the underclass, these mobs and townships, is so barbaric.
Everybody who satisfies tries to have a little bit of a culture or something which shows that they're different.
And it's something that, I guess there's a theory like where you do divide and rule and you play the different groups off to each other because the alternative is just zombie mob rule.
And everyone is just aware that there's a zombie attacks are a possibility everywhere.
Everyone is aware of that.
And you're dealing with that every day in church.
Well, I told you about that colored guy that was in the bear chest that was holding his head that was bleak and coming down in there and street tick drug addicts down in the observatory neighborhood.
Yeah, you got it.
Yeah, they are.
They are bans.
And then there are illegal aliens, like Americans have them from Mexico and Central America.
So they have illegal aliens from the Congo and all these other places.
Now, if they're willing to just like work and not cause any trouble, people will tolerate them and actually appreciate it.
The regular wealthy whites prefer to have people from Zimbabwe and Mali and Congo working because they work and don't cause trouble.
But if there's a group of illegal aliens camped out in the commercial business center, everybody from the Street Fenders and likes works to say, no, we can't have these things.
So the kind of stuff you see in Chicago and San Francisco where you have homeless people that are pooping places, nobody puts up with that in a nice place.
That's just not, that's not going to be tolerated.
All right, Jack.
Jack, Jack.
No, apologies, but I mean, I'm trying to cover as many of these things.
Obviously, we have a great buildup to flush through here, having you not been on the show for the last three months.
A lot of people wanting to know what you've been up to, so on and so forth.
So as quickly as we can, because we only have about five or six minutes remaining, so we got to go very, very quickly.
I'll ask a question 30 seconds max.
Answer it so we can get to as many of these as we can.
So we all know about, you know, obviously you're a tourist.
You're not a resident.
You're not in some of these afflicted communities that have to bear the brunt of the realities of South Africa.
You are in an affluent area being an American tourist.
But how are you surviving, getting food, et cetera, very quickly?
Well, this Airbnb, which is set up to host people and take care of them.
The host is very good.
We keep a lot.
And you can go to the stores, and they do have just tremendous fruits and meats.
I was concerned that the meat chain get messed up, but they had some of just the greatest.
The locals, particularly Afrikaners, love to barbecue.
It's called a brai.
And that's the main social activity.
You have people over for bright.
So I'm having lots and lots of brai and very social people and just good-looking people, good-looking women being very nice to me, which is a little big change.
Now we know why you stayed three months.
Keith, have we gotten to the bottom of it?
We figured it out.
Yeah, they just don't have these hostile feminists.
You don't, I mean, and then there's a Jewish presence here, but it doesn't seem to be real negative like it is in the United States.
Maybe they make deals with the ANC or something, but there's communities of people.
Everyone's working together.
So you just don't have that hostile Rachel Mad Cow Hillary.
Like the women here are attractive.
They're traditional, and they just, I don't sense that feminist rants or that.
And then they're homosexuals here, but they're not taking over all the politics like they did in Chicago.
So I think the regular people are, yeah.
Have you heard anything about poor whites being denied access to food banks and breadlines?
I've not heard them there.
It was more than the lower middle class people that I do know here.
They don't trust the military and the media like the older rich people.
Older rich people have memories when the military was old South African and they brought people in where the lower class is like that they think that the police military have relaxed all standards and you got illiterate people that are bullying.
And they did tell me some stories about people being bullied and beaten up, but they were doing things like breaking curfew and like going against cigarettes.
So they're like, you just don't challenge it.
You don't make a stand out.
And then I do have some people that they think that the explosions in the townships will go after each other and then they'll come out and attack whites.
So they have plans to defend themselves, go out on the farm areas and things like that.
I probably don't think that that's something I...
Jack, let me ask you this.
This is Keith, okay?
Have you seen any of these plywood villages where impoverished Afrikaners are living without utilities and stuff?
Is that a fable or is that a reality?
I just haven't seen it.
I mean, I know of it.
I know it isn't a fable.
I know it is a reality.
And I heard some stories from my friends who've just tried to help people like that, just as I've tried to help our people in areas of urban America.
And issue that you get in everywhere is drug addiction, opiates is just a killer.
And it hits a lot of people you think it wouldn't.
So that's just a big problem.
And they try to help people.
And I know people almost like choose this life, this homeless plywood type.
They sort of choose that life.
And if it's opiates involved with the drugs, you're really, you can only do so much, but you can't.
It's not something being enforced upon them by the black majority.
This is something, these are just basically people that are, you know, derelict and they just haven't adjusted.
It used to be when white schooled one, that people went in for government jobs and they like to study paychecks.
And those things are just not there anymore.
And other people who are making it, surviving, have started their own businesses.
They've gotten other, they're more entrepreneurial.
You have to be entrepreneurial, in other words, in order to get it.
You got to be in because the government system is not taking your side against other people, but their businesses and things like tourists before they shut it down.
And I don't think they shouldn't shut down the tourist business.
There's a lot of places in the world where the coronavirus has just not hit, particularly in Asia, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore.
I don't see why you can't bring in these people and use the tourists.
You just have to be.
Have you seen any part of the economy other than the tourist-driven economy that is really thriving over there?
I tell you, we could have gone.
How many weeks has Jack been off?
We could have gone 12 weeks with Jack.
They have some of the greatest shopping malls I've ever seen in the world.
And a lot of money from India goes into it.
They like the mall culture, shopping, that.
And women love to shop.
They love clothes and things like that.
And these shopping malls, you see people just hanging out.
They don't have teenagers to hang out at a shopping mall in South Africa.
Jack, Jack, hang on.
We have about 6,000 more questions for you in about 10 seconds to get to them.
All I want to know, though, is when are you coming home?
