Glenn Beck is joined by Jamie Kilstein to talk about what it's like to convert to Christianity, and all the ramifications of Joe Biden possibly being released from prison. Plus, a story about Joe Biden at a Juneteenth concert.
00:01:01.760You've seen what our overrun health care system looks like when the economy is booming.
00:01:06.160Imagine what could be now, especially with 10 million new Americans coming across.
00:01:13.720Jace is a personalized emergency kit that contains essential antibiotics and medications that treat the most common and deadly bacterial infections.
00:01:21.760Five, life-saving antibiotics for emergency use.
00:01:25.460You just fill out a simple form online.
00:01:27.900You'll have the case when you need it.
00:08:03.400You're going to ask me in the middle of the thing when they've already breached the inaugural stuff that, should we call the Capitol Police?
00:12:23.780Well, I've had a problem with this story for the last couple of days, and I bring it to the table today because I still can't figure it out.
00:12:34.960Trump surrogates reserved a cigar bar near downtown Philadelphia last week, invited conservative organizers and Trump-curious black voters to smoke and sip cognac.
00:12:44.920Now, when I think of cognac, I think, lovey, I need my cognac.
00:12:53.760I don't, are blacks known for their cigar and cognac evenings?
00:13:00.020Because I really thought that was an elitist white, you know, I always, I would think of George Soros being like, yes, and then we kill all of them as he's, you know, warming the cognac under his, you know, in his hand.
00:13:19.360I don't see the, what's the stereotype there?
00:13:22.620I mean, Hennessy is occasionally associated with an African-American demographic, perhaps.
00:13:31.640I don't know if that's accurate, but I've, you know, I've heard people say that that's something, like in, you know, pop culture and stuff that I've seen.
00:13:40.500But I don't know if it's actually a real thing.
00:13:43.720Like, I don't know if the people utilize it in that way.
00:13:46.300I mean, you know, you could, if they were like, come on down and have menthol cigarettes and Colt 45, then maybe, maybe.
00:13:56.700But the menthol cigarette thing comes from Joe Biden trying to buy people into voting for him by not taxing menthol cigarettes even higher.
00:14:48.260But I've never gone to like David Copperfield and said, you know, I'd like to get some advice on you and from you and what's really going on because you made a coin disappear.
00:14:57.620These people are making things disappear and reappear and, and making it look like one thing when it's another.
00:20:16.600It is time for them to pay a heavier price.
00:20:18.780Our fight is not with the Russian people but with Putin.
00:20:25.760We will fight not with the Russian people but with Putin.
00:20:27.720Our promise to you is to take your calls to Washington, inform the American people of your bravery, and make the case against Putin to the world.
00:20:48.720Okay, isn't that what happened in 2020? Or 2021? Isn't that exactly what happened?
00:21:01.340Now, Russia did invade. I'm not going to make a case for Vladimir Putin being a good guy, because he's an absolute monster.
00:21:11.060However, you know, when you have the State Department doing a color revolution in 2014 in Ukraine to get rid of the Russian that they say was running Ukraine,
00:21:25.820and then you have Lindsey Graham and John McCain during the election saying 2017 is the year we go on offense.
00:25:56.180You have to have those in the government that are wanting to overthrow another government.
00:26:00.900Then the operation is privatized to give it distance from the government.
00:26:05.040This is where the NGOs, like the National Endowment for Democracy, come in.
00:26:10.860The NED is composed of four different entities.
00:26:13.840The National Democratic Institute, the International Republican Institute, the American Center for International Labor Solidarity, and the Center for International Private Enterprise.
00:26:37.420So this is a bipartisan kind of cover story.
00:26:44.100Next, in the food chain, you have to have the multi-billion dollar financiers and their organizations that partner in the entire operation.
00:26:51.980This is where George Soros comes in, the Open Society Foundation, the Tides Foundation.
00:26:57.920And then there are the people that spread the message, demonstrate in the streets, and the media to report what the government wants you to report, wants them to report, to the masses.
00:29:55.920If it's anything longer than, let's say, five or six months, you would assume, despite his denials, that Joe Biden will pardon him the second the election's over.
00:30:34.140One of the interesting reactions to this, Glenn, I'd love to get your take on this, is now the left saying,
00:30:40.920well, I guess we won't be seeing anything about a rigged jury system anymore today, will we?
00:30:50.380Obviously referring to the Trump case when people were saying the system was rigged.
00:30:55.740Although, I don't know, was that your take on that?
00:30:57.800Do you think the system was rigged against, with the Donald Trump verdict?
00:31:00.900No, well, first of all, no, first of all, I would have said the system was rigged when they came, when the Justice Department, you know, colluded with the White House.
00:31:10.120And came up with some bogus, you know, bogus plea deal that nobody in the world would have ever gotten.
00:31:19.400This is, now, there's no sentence, it says up to 25 years.
00:31:23.280There's no sentence, so we don't know, you know.
00:32:14.280I still think we have the best system out there, even though there are massive problems with it.
00:32:18.220And, specifically, in this case, when it comes to Donald Trump, and that, like, I actually have legitimate hope that the system, the legal system, gets the Trump verdict right, eventually.
00:32:31.100Like, I don't, I think there's a good chance it gets overturned on appeal.
00:32:35.140The problem with that, though, is that the timeline of the legal system and our political system are not working together very well, unless you happen to be a Democrat.
00:33:42.660Then, when his sister-in-law lover was found that, you know, found that his gun was in the glove box, she went and took it in a bag that had cocaine powder in it, threw it into a garbage can behind a supermarket.
00:34:03.820She should have been charged, quite honestly, as well, I think.
00:34:07.380But she took the gun and she threw it into a garbage can because she was afraid their kids might find it.
00:34:13.700Well, so you're going to let some other somebody else's kids find the gun?
00:34:17.980You know, there's no question that this is exactly what happened.
00:34:27.120And you didn't have to make up laws to say or skirt around holes, you know, sections of the law to get this.
00:34:38.260What's ironic about this is dad's such the big anti-gun, you know, throw the book at him forever if they've, you know, they've ever had a cap gun in their life.
00:34:50.100And he's going to end up, I truly believe he's going to end up pardoning him.
00:34:56.200Of course, you know, these penalties are for thee, not for me.
00:34:59.800And so all of these hardcore, I'm Mr. Tough anti-gun guy, this is the exact type of stuff that Joe Biden was pushing for larger penalties for these type of actions.
00:35:11.000Now, I think there is the best defense for Hunter Biden, which they didn't really get into in this particular trial.
00:35:16.180And it will come it will probably come up on appeal is a Second Amendment defense.
00:35:19.840I don't know that it's a winning defense, but I think there is a good argument that the question itself is not properly represented in our histories and traditions.
00:35:30.600Whether you're an alcoholic or a drug addict and you can't have a gun if you are.
00:35:34.920Right. Like, you know, if you go back and look at the early machinations of that, there's very much in our histories and traditions.
00:35:43.740Like, for example, you go into a bar, they take your gun as you go into a bar, they give it back to you when you leave.
00:35:49.060Right. Like that type of stuff was, you know, common going back to the, you know, when guns first were being carried.
00:35:55.500Right. But typically it wasn't it's not one of those things where they would do the same thing.
00:36:00.420If you were an alcoholic, you'd never get a gun even when you were sober. Right.
00:36:04.700And so the. Yeah, I think you could make a really strong case for that.
00:36:09.660Yeah. And saying that, you know, I'm a I'm a recovering alcoholic. Should I own a gun?
00:36:15.900You know, it's the it's the practicing. Are you using drugs? Are you using alcohol?
00:36:23.160Well, you we could argue about that. And there there might be a case to do it.
00:36:28.920However, the left would not be for that. The left would be for for all alcoholics, no matter in recovery or not, shouldn't own a gun.
00:36:36.660And all teetoters as well. And all teetoters. Yeah. But but that's that is not what this case is built on.
00:36:44.080This case is built on you lied on this federal form. You cannot lie. Everybody knows that.
00:36:54.900Everybody knows that. And it's true. And it's one of those things that I find this case to be the least interesting part of the Hunter Biden saga.
00:37:03.820In that, oh, this is I guess it might not even be a constitutional question. Like, I don't think there's he didn't shoot anybody like there's a lot.
00:37:12.720I mean, he should have he should be this. The law should apply to him like they apply to everyone else.
00:37:17.640But like to much more interesting, not more is the tax stuff, the financial stuff and the stuff that ties into international business dealings that seemingly involve many of his family members, including maybe his dad.
00:37:28.840I mean, certainly his dad, in my view, but legally, we don't have that proved yet.
00:37:33.580But can I ask you one other question? This came up while you were gone, Glenn.
00:37:37.160And I've been meaning to ask you about this every second since we talked about the story.
00:37:47.360No, this is a story that came out and I was Pat and I talked about it last week and we both said on the air,
00:37:55.380the only person that we know that can possibly answer this question is Glenn Beck.
00:38:00.340The story is from The New York Times and it's painted as this like sob story about how we're so mean to Hunter Biden.
00:38:08.400Right. Like that's the tone of the story.
00:38:10.180The headline is Hunter Biden's paintings, not quite the refuge he sought.
00:38:16.080The president's son started selling his artwork years ago, drawing potential ethics concerns that were discussed in congressional testimony this year.
00:38:22.780And it goes through a very long feature about his incredible painting, but it gets into details on the finances that I have never seen before.
00:38:32.660And if you remember, they were talking about these paintings going for five hundred thousand dollars a pop.
00:39:09.660Just thrown in there with no crinkled eyebrows at all from The New York Times is Mr.
00:39:15.520Biden's earnings proved more modest than the early hype had suggested.
00:39:19.660He reported one hundred and thirty thousand nine hundred and eighty four dollars in gross income from art sales during the first two tax years.
00:40:42.800You know, you're I don't you know, I don't know if this was somebody who knew Hunter, Hunter Biden, who he did and knew that he was on the up and up and everything else.
00:40:58.220It would be more likely that he would get 45, 55 percent.
00:41:04.300Yeah, like I could somewhere in that area getting a really good deal with a gallery because you also are bringing like, you know, some level of notoriety.
