Disturbing The Peace with John Amanchukwu
"A nation doesn't collapse overnight. It collapses when its people stop recognizing the warning signs." That's how Pastor John Amanchukwu opens today's episode of Disturbing the Peace. His guest is Guy Paul Nora — Lebanese-American entrepreneur, Silicon Valley venture capitalist in life sciences, war veteran, former gubernatorial candidate, and author of the memoir Not on Our Watch. Guy Paul was fifteen years old the day his childhood ended. Instead of a backpack, he carried an assault rifle. Instead of school books, he learned how to identify positions and hold them. He grew up on one side of a religious divide in a country that had been peaceful for generations, and he watched — up close — how quickly the ordinary lives of ordinary people can be unmade. Then he came to America. Legally. Through immigration lines his parents also had to stand in. He graduated from an American high school. He earned an education. He built a career in Silicon Valley venture capital, backing the medical device and therapeutic companies working on the medications that will make cancer, in Guy Paul's prediction, "look like HIV does today — a chronic disease you manage rather than a death sentence." He ran for governor. He wrote his memoir. And he came on Disturbing the Peace to tell John — and every American watching — what he sees now that reminds him of what he lived through then. The parallels he names between pre-war Lebanon and modern America are sobering. "Every country on the verge of something has tension. You sense it. You feel it. In my case, I was going to school. My parents used to go to the other side of town — casinos and clubs. People from the other side of town came to school on my side. I was a normal kid. I played basketball. I took guitar lessons. And you don't realize how quickly, how overnight, you go from that to picking any street in America — Madison Avenue, Mission Street, Michigan Avenue — and that street is now your border. It just happens very quickly, and you don't notice until it's late."" 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
