All across the country, 28 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: we are seeing fights, fist fights, and even stabbings occurring, 29 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: and especially the big warehouse sales chains such as Sands Club. 30 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: What's happening, Levi? You know, Nancy, since this virus has 31 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: broke out, people are rushing to the stores to purchase supplies. 32 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: Supplies are locus. Some people are boarding them. And what 33 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: happened is I think, Levi, they start banging and hitting 34 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: with wine bottles and of course people get cut. Okay, 35 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: as you were saying, yes, I mean there's this really 36 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 1: obnoxious in stores and there have been stabbing spits. People 37 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: have been willed out on stretchers after getting into altercations 38 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: at stores. It's really astounding that people are reacting this 39 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: way when we should be supporting each other in a 40 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: time less and your fairytale world, Leavi Page, I guess 41 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: you're right. James Shellnott, twenty seven years Metro Major KSE 42 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: SWAT officer, now lawyer. James. It's a pack mentality, and 43 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 1: I first saw it in a case where a group 44 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: of young guys who would not have committed this crime 45 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: on their own ended up affecting a triple homicide because 46 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: there were four of them together. It seems as if 47 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: people work themselves into a frenzy, James, and they do 48 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: things they would never do on their own. Oh. Absolutely. 49 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: You know sometimes people go into a criminals beating frenzy 50 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: when they wouldn't normally do it by themselves, you know. 51 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: And you'd like to think in situations like this, you 52 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: know that you would take the high road. You know 53 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: that you don't want to be one of these people 54 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: contributing to the chaos, you know. But then again the 55 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: back of your mind you're thinking, Okay, well, if I'm 56 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 1: a nice guy, may finish last. Maybe my family doesn't 57 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: get these necessities that we need to get through this time, 58 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: James shall not. You know how much I appreciate you. 59 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: I mean twenty seven years Metro Major case SWAT officer, 60 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: now lawyer. But I'm going to leave the shrinking to 61 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,159 Speaker 1: the shrink. I'm asking you and your experience of all 62 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: those years in Metro Major Case and SWAT, even as 63 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: a lawyer, have you seen in a crowd where evil 64 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: takes over and people commit horrible crimes? Leave page from 65 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: crime Online called it really obnoxious. I call it a felony. 66 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: James shell Nutt, Oh, absolutely. I mean, you know, you 67 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: think about the meantimes that you see videos online or 68 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: on TV where one person starts getting attacked, or two 69 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: people get in a fight, and then all of a 70 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: sudden you have multiple people join in in exactly what 71 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: you just said was the pact mentality. It is very 72 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: common when you have states of civil unrest, when you 73 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: have conflict and there are large crowds of people. This 74 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: is not an uncommon event in this type of scenario. 75 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: As doctor Michelle Dupree, South Carolina Medical Examined or author 76 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: of Homicide Investigation Field Guide, in the example we were 77 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: using and their examples all across the country, we had 78 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: to pick one, doctor Michelle Dupree. In this case, people 79 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: were slugging each other with wine bottles and somebody, Oh, 80 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: can you imagine, Jackie, if I had the twins at 81 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: Costco or Sam's Club and this went down. Oh, doctor 82 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: Michelle Dupree. Don't people get when you swing a wine bottle, 83 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 1: somebody's going to get killed or stabbed. That's what happened 84 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: here to our understanding. Surely they must, Nancy, I mean, 85 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 1: a wine bottle is going to break. Not only are 86 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: you going to hit that person, but you risk you 87 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: risk damaging that person by a glass cutting. You know. 88 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: The reality is that using a wine bottle or a 89 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 1: big bottle on someone is just as dangerous as a 90 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: switch blade or a knife, even more so because the 91 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: force behind a full wine bottle. When you hit somebody 92 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: with that, it's like clubbing them. James Shell, Not it's 93 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: like using a club on their head. Oh, absolutely, it's 94 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 1: it's what force trauma that can crush your skull and 95 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: absolutely kill you. I mean, I think at that point, 96 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: if you're onged, you know you have the right to 97 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: use deadly force to defend yourself because the force being 98 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: used against you is potentially deadly and catch this guy's 99 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 1: leavi page. Take a listen about really obnoxious in our business. 100 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: We call it a felony. Apparently a man was in 101 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: the aisles in a motorized shopping cart like a rascal. 102 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: Those things you sit on and they move around. When 103 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: another family tried to get in his very same spot, 104 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: the man in the motorized cop shopping cart hit the 105 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: family's cart. And that is when the woman, I guess 106 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: the mother setting a wonderful example for her children, started 107 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: well and on the guy, and everything escalated into fights 108 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 1: with wine bottles. To Karen Start, NewYork psychologists joining us 109 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: this morning from Manhattan. Karen Start helped me out the mentality. 110 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: Can you imagine me with the children twins, with me 111 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: suddenly hauling off and punching a guy in a motorized 112 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: a rascal? What do you call those? A motorized shopping cart? 113 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: That's what all the news reports say. You know, they 114 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: drive around in the grocery store and they stare it. 115 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: It's like a little scooter. What was she thinking? A woman, 116 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: a lady started the fistfight. People are not themselves right now, Nancy, 117 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: and as Karen, are you seriously do you really just 118 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: say that to me if I heard that in court. Oh, 119 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't himself when he stabs someone with a wine. 120 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm not saying it it's acceptable, but I'm not surprised, 121 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: And I think that people need to be prepared and 122 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: make sure that things like this don't happen, because there's 123 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: there's an underlying hysteria that's happening. I'm I'm constantly doing 124 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: sessions at this point and helping people to calm down. 125 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: But they start to get this idea that this is 126 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: going to be the last roll of toilet paper on 127 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: Earth and very and they become frantic. And there's really 128 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: truth to the fact that when you're in a crowd 129 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: and people become aggressive, other people will catch And they've 130 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 1: done experiments where they show that if one person begins 131 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: to do something like that, other people will pick pick 132 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: up on it. If people do something a good way 133 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: and are gracious, there's more of a tendency to follow that. 134 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: You know, you said Karen's people are not themselves, But 135 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if themselves actually take over and crack through 136 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: that thin veneer we call being polite, and that their 137 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: true natures come out. I mean attacking a guy in 138 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: a motorized wheelchair. Crime stories with Nancy Grace, we are 139 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: talking about Corona virus crimes.

So Hello and welcome to the 172 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: Jim Baker Show. Jim Baker, the notorious pastor who served 173 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: five years in prison for fraud in the early nineteen 174 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: nineties and was once married to the late Tammy Faye. 175 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: Baker is now back on the airways making well surprising 176 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: claims that this silver solution could be effective against the coronavirus. 177 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: We've tested it. It works on just about everything, this 178 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: influenza that is now circling the globe. You're saying that 179 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,440 Speaker 1: silver solution would be effective. Well, let's say it hasn't 180 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: been tested on this strain of the coronavirus, but it's 181 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: been tested on other strains of the coronavirus and has 182 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 1: been able to eliminate it within twelve hours. So what 183 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: do you think about these people kind of pushing this 184 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 1: silver as a treatment. It's an absolute outrage that they're 185 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: pushing this product. There's no evidence for its effectiveness. They're 186 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: exploiting people who are fearful about the virus. Stay away 187 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: from the product. All you're doing is wasting your money. 188 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: I wonder how many thousands of dollars Jim Baker raked in, 189 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: and he's notorious for that. That's what he did on 190 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: the Jim Baker's show. I don't remember the name of 191 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: his televangelist show, but he and his wife, Tammy pays 192 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: you recall went to trial over various many infractions and 193 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: he went to jail. Well he's back, and wow, what 194 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: a comeback. Straight out to levipage Climb online dot Com 195 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: investigative reporter. What oh wait wait, whoa, whoa whoa.

Oh oh there he isn't is 198 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 1: he coming out? And no, no, no, there he is. 199 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: He's coming out of a law enforcement van, a secure van, 200 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: and hobbling his way into court. You know, you know, 201 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: so let me circle back to you in a moment, 202 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,439 Speaker 1: Karen Stark. It seems as if once you've done Gael time, 203 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to go back. Okay, levi page Climb 204 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: online dot Com investigator reporter. What is Jim Baker selling 205 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: colloidal silver? What is that? Yes, it's called silver Solution 206 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: and basically it's just the mineral silver Nancy, And he 207 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: claims that it can cure a certain friend of the 208 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: coronavirus as well as HIV, and the FDA, the Federal 209 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: Drug Administration, has said that that is not true, that 210 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: those claims are false. In fact, this silver mineral and 211 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 1: high doses can actually call Nigeria, which is a condition 212 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: where it actually can hurt your kidneys and actually make 213 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: your skin change color. It can turn you into a 214 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: silver color. And basically the state of Missouri is actually 215 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: suing him, the Missouri Attorney General telling him to stop 216 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: advertising this product. And we shouldn't be surprised and Nancy. 217 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: In the eighties and nineties, he was very controversial. A 218 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: woman even accused him of rape Jessica Yes. Jessicaon later 219 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: appeared in Playboy magazine, but apparently people believed her story. 220 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: As I recall, she may have been given alcohol or drugs. 221 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: Everything was very fuzzy to her about what happened. Oh, 222 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: there he is, and he said it was consensual. He 223 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: said it was consensual. Guys, we're talking about people such 224 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: as Jim Baker allegedly scamming you for thousands and thousands 225 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: of dollars for Corona virus cures. Jim Baker at it again. 226 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: I want to go to doctor Michelle Dupree out of 227 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: South Carolina medical examiner, author of Homicide Investigator, should feel 228 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: guide the moment I heard about what Baker was up to. Now, 229 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: ripping people offered not only ripping them offer their money, 230 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: but potentially killing them. It's a colloidal silver, he claims 231 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: it's effective to cure coronavirus. I know it can build 232 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,200 Speaker 1: up in your body's tissue and it can actually make 233 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 1: you turn blue. You turn blue, and I don't believe 234 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: that's reversible. But what is colloidal silver and what does 235 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: it do to you? Why is it so dangerous? Nane, 236 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: This is actually something that we call a heavy metal. 237 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: And there is no use for this in the body. 238 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: And again, as you said, too much of it is 239 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: damaging to many of your internal organ There's no use 240 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: for it that your body can deal with it, and 241 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: you do. Your skin turns blue, your hands, your face, 242 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: your whole body. Dotor dupree. When you say it affects 243 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: your internal organs, what does it do. It'll build up 244 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 1: in things like your liver, your spleen, even your intestines. 245 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: And when it builds up in something like the liver, 246 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: your liver is what processes much of our food, many 247 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: of our nutrients. If that liver is damage, then it 248 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: can't process the normal nutrients and things that it needs 249 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,040 Speaker 1: to process. So therefore part of our body starts to 250 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 1: have problems with the normal functioning, and if it continues, 251 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: then we've become very ill and could possibly be fatal. 252 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: The gym makers show falsely promised to consumers silver solution 253 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: can cure, eliminate, killed, deactivate coronavirus, and boost the elderly 254 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: consumer's immune system. The ones most at risk, the elderly. 255 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: Some of our most vulnerable in our society are the 256 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,080 Speaker 1: ones he's hawking the silver solution to the reality is 257 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: there is no peel, no potion, no product, no vaccine 258 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: yet on mass market to fight coronavirus. Take a listen 259 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: to our friends at Saint Louis KMOV four. This is 260 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 1: Samantha Jones, the well known Missouri televangelist, is being sued 261 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: by the state he's accused of claiming he has a 262 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: cure for coronavirus. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmid has filed 263 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: a lawsuit against Jim Baker and Morningside Church Productions in Branson. 264 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: According to the lawsuit, Baker and his doctor and a 265 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: doctor claimed a silver solution can cure the disease. This 266 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: was on an episode of The Jim Baker Show. The 267 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 1: lawsuit is calling for a permanent injunction against Baker, which 268 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: would require he stopped selling the silver solution as a 269 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: treatment for coronavirus. Hi, guys, Nancy Grace, here, we have 270 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 1: all worked so hard to bring to you Don't Be 271 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: a Victim, Fighting back against America's crime Wave, a brand 272 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 1: new book. After interviewing literally hundreds of crime victims and police, 273 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:18,199 Speaker 1: we put our knowledge into Don't Be a Victim. You 274 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: can pre order now go to Crime online dot Com. 275 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: Pre order now and know that portions of our proceeds 276 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 1: goes to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. 277 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace. Well, the world has been 278 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: turned upside down since Corona virus hit and now there 279 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: are wolves, coyotes, hyenas at the edge of the pack 280 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: of people trying to take advantage of them get their money. 281 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: And here I learned that after researching it, Jim Baker 282 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: advertised colloidial silver products for up to one hundred and 283 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: twenty five dollars a variety pack deal. On the Jim 284 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: Baker Show. He often preaches about the end of times. 285 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: Now we know that he rebuilt his empire after doing 286 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: a stint in jail, and this is just one of 287 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 1: the ways he's doing it. The FDA says he is 288 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: misleading viewers into thinking silver solution can keep the coronavirus 289 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: at bay and even quote kill it within twelve hours. 290 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 1: That is entirely false. In fact, the silver solution cure 291 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: colloidial silver can kill you, not kill the coronavirus, but 292 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: kill you. Thank goodness, the Missouri Attorney General is filing 293 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: an action against him. It's not just Jim Baker. So 294 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: many are out to rip you off in ways that 295 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: could even harm you. Hysteria has taken over and criminals 296 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: are being held at bay coronavirus crimes. I want you 297 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: to take a listen to our friends at WRCBTV. This 298 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: is Hunter Hoagland listener Matt Colvin. A pandemic meant an opportunity. 299 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: It went to zero to sixty really fast. After the 300 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: first COVID nineteen death in the United States, Colvin went 301 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 1: state to state clearing out sanitizer shelves. He now sits 302 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: with eighteen thousand unused bottles in his home and storage unit. 303 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 1: While people in the Tennessee Valley struggled to find one. 304 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: The bulk of it was purchased with just driving around 305 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,679 Speaker 1: to retail stores in the Chattanooga area. Colvin bought the 306 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 1: sanitizer with the intention of selling them for profit on 307 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: Amazon before they took his listings down. Now feeling the 308 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: same panic as many others, Oh crap is the pgu 309 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 1: way to say it. Though he would not discuss on 310 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: camera the exact prices he sold the sanitizer for, he 311 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: told The New York Times in a recent interview that 312 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: some items were listed at seventy dollars a bottle. The 313 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: pricing on Amazon was higher than it was, definitely higher 314 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: than retail seventy dollars a bottle for a bottle of purell. 315 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: Last night, I did not take my children with me. 316 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: I went to various stores looking for hand sanitizer. After 317 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 1: the fourth one we quit. This guy has what what 318 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: did he say, LEAVI page, It's seventeen eighteen thousand bottles 319 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 1: of hand sanitizer. He scoured the country, acquiring them as 320 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: soon as coronavirus hit. What happened, Yes, Nancy, we're talking 321 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: about Matt and Noah COVID and they live in Hickson, Tennessee, 322 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 1: which is outside Chattanooga. And they had this get rich 323 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: quick scheme that they were doing, and they were going 324 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:56,639 Speaker 1: around Tennessee and Kentucky collecting thousands of units of hand sanitizer. 325 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 1: And then what they were doing, Nancy, is they were 326 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: storing them in a storage unit, and they had seventeen 327 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: thousand bottles of it, and they were selling it on 328 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: eBay and Amazon for like eighty bucks. Some of it 329 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: was going for eighty bucks just for hand sanitizer. And 330 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Attorney General made them shut this down. The 331 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: New York Times did an extensive report over it, and 332 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: now they say that they're donating it to local church. 333 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 1: All right, that's what they say to Wendy Patrick, California 334 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,720 Speaker 1: prosecutor and author. I've read flags at Wendy Patrick PhD 335 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: dot com. Wendy, is what they did technically a crime? Well, yeah, 336 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: you know it is criminal to have this type of 337 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,959 Speaker 1: misrepresentation that goes to this extent. Obviously, as you and 338 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: I and our listeners. Wait wait, wait, wait wait, they're 339 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: charging people seventy dollars a bottle for hand sanitizer. What 340 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: is the misrepresentation? It depends on how much it normally was. 341 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: Remember that the price gouging laws kick in when you're 342 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: reselling a product at a certain percentage over what it 343 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: would normally sell for. And Nancy, you also have to, 344 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,239 Speaker 1: as we know, you have to look at what are 345 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: the circumstances under which you are jacking up the price. 346 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 1: These guys and people like them that are seeking to 347 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: exploit pandemic panic buying are in a hard spot trying 348 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: to justify why they needed to raise the price as 349 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: much as they did. If it's an exorbitant difference, then 350 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: you bet it goes into price gouging criminal laws. If 351 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: it's not, they're going to have to explain why they 352 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: needed to raise the price as much as they did 353 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: and how much that same bottle will have gone for 354 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 1: as you point out just three weeks earlier, well, I 355 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: know that you can buy them for a dollar at 356 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: the Dollar Tree or the dollar store.
