Summary

Today we talk about the Biden crime family, and why no father would ever act the way Joe Biden has done in the past. We also discuss the financial downgrade and what it means to you, and the conspiracy theory that America is the only country without a dollar.


Transcript

00:00:00.080 Great show today. We talk about the Biden crime family yet again.
00:00:04.080 No father would ever act the way Joe Biden is acting.
00:00:07.780 And the media is allowing this to happen.
00:00:11.080 They've now changed their tune that, yeah, Hunter Biden might have been doing stuff,
00:00:16.400 but dad certainly didn't know.
00:00:18.500 Well, let's just stop at the first place.
00:00:20.320 Wait a minute. You're now saying that Hunter Biden was doing things
00:00:23.600 and trading on his father's name without declaring himself a foreign agent?
00:00:29.780 That's illegal.
00:00:31.240 And even if it's not illegal to trade on your father's name,
00:00:34.980 his father then was entrapped by being introduced to these really bad oligarch criminals
00:00:42.380 that literally behead people.
00:00:45.040 And his father continued to take the calls to, like, the oligarch in Moscow.
00:00:51.920 Then the heads, the people who are high up in the Communist Party in China,
00:00:57.860 at no point does dad say, I'm the vice president.
00:01:01.940 I know who these people are.
00:01:03.400 I'm briefed about them because they're the really, really bad people.
00:01:06.360 Don't ever put me in that situation again.
00:01:08.760 Nobody's asking the right questions or using any kind of common decency or common sense
00:01:16.240 to wade through all of this.
00:01:18.980 We do.
00:01:19.860 We also talk to you about the financial downgrade and what it means to you.
00:01:23.920 The end of Yellow, the big trucking company, third largest in America,
00:01:28.600 went out of business.
00:01:29.760 Nobody seems to care.
00:01:31.620 It's important.
00:01:32.360 You know why they went out of business?
00:01:34.520 25% less shipping than expected.
00:01:39.560 That means something.
00:01:41.040 We cover all this and more in today's podcast brought to you by Relief Factor.
00:01:45.480 If you're in pain, would you please just try this?
00:01:48.060 I can't guarantee that it's going to work for you.
00:01:50.140 I've met people that it has worked wonders for,
00:01:52.720 and I just met a dear friend, what was it, a couple of weeks ago.
00:01:56.760 I haven't seen in about a year.
00:01:57.960 And she came up to me and she said,
00:02:00.080 man, Relief Factor didn't work for me at all.
00:02:02.860 I know.
00:02:03.760 70% of the people who try it go on to order more month after month.
00:02:07.200 It worked miracles in my life.
00:02:09.540 It may not in yours, but will you just try it, please?
00:02:12.960 You have nothing to lose except $19.95.
00:02:15.700 Try their three-week quick start trial pack.
00:02:19.180 Try it for three weeks.
00:02:20.740 If it works, continue to take it.
00:02:23.080 If it doesn't, stop.
00:02:24.600 But 70% of the people who try it, their lives, come back to them.
00:02:29.640 Get out of pain with Relief Factor.
00:02:31.840 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:02:33.740 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:02:35.360 Or relieffactor.com.
00:02:37.040 Here's the podcast.
00:02:45.440 You're listening to
00:02:46.680 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:49.460 My entire life, from probably 2009 on,
00:02:57.980 I've been telling you about an economic crisis.
00:03:00.520 I told you about the 2008 crisis,
00:03:03.480 you know, from really 2004, Stu,
00:03:06.360 for about four years I rang that bell.
00:03:09.240 And it was conspiracy.
00:03:10.740 It's never going to happen.
00:03:11.880 You know, what is his education?
00:03:13.420 Blah, blah, blah.
00:03:13.900 And I started in 2009 telling you
00:03:16.140 that we are going to be downrated
00:03:18.480 and the dollar is eventually going to collapse.
00:03:22.080 It is, it's, it's clear.
00:03:25.000 You know, you can be overeducated and go,
00:03:27.300 oh, no, there's systems to make sure that won't happen.
00:03:31.300 But, no, there's no, there's no system
00:03:33.820 that will stop insanity
00:03:35.680 except for sanity.
00:03:38.380 And as long as people remain insane in Washington
00:03:42.300 or in Wall Street,
00:03:45.000 it's going to happen.
00:03:47.120 Now, I was a little bit wrong.
00:03:49.120 They're not necessarily insane.
00:03:51.000 They just have a different agenda than you do.
00:03:56.000 So, in 2011, we were downgraded,
00:04:00.460 which means if somebody is going to invest in us
00:04:04.340 by our bonds, our debt,
00:04:06.480 they're looking for something that is a sure deal,
00:04:09.500 especially now.
00:04:11.240 So, in 2011, we were downgraded by Fitch.
00:04:14.840 It's the ratings agency.
00:04:16.820 And we went from the top credit rating
00:04:19.840 of AAA to AA+, which is number two.
00:04:25.940 Well, now, yesterday,
00:04:27.800 in something that will never happen,
00:04:29.660 it's a conspiracy theory.
00:04:31.100 There's no way.
00:04:32.460 I mean, America is the best.
00:04:34.460 I mean, there's no competition for our dollar.
00:04:37.880 Uh-huh, uh-huh.
00:04:38.900 Well, yesterday, in, quote,
00:04:40.720 a surprise move,
00:04:43.040 the ratings agency Fitch downgraded us yet again
00:04:47.100 from AA+, which is number two,
00:04:50.620 to AA, which is now number three.
00:04:54.340 Once you start getting into the B category,
00:04:57.440 there's not a chance anyone's going to buy your bonds.
00:05:00.300 But don't worry.
00:05:01.200 Nobody is buying our bonds,
00:05:03.920 even before yesterday.
00:05:06.980 When you talk about bonds,
00:05:09.260 people don't, their eyes glaze over,
00:05:10.960 they don't know what it means.
00:05:12.380 What it means is,
00:05:14.340 every dollar that we are spending and printing,
00:05:17.660 every bailout,
00:05:19.000 every new project,
00:05:20.420 every new green new deal,
00:05:22.700 every dollar
00:05:23.700 that we are borrowing,
00:05:26.120 no one is giving us real money.
00:05:29.840 Nobody is buying that anymore.
00:05:33.340 It used to be that China and Japan
00:05:37.380 and countries all over the world
00:05:40.220 would buy our bonds
00:05:41.620 because we were good for it.
00:05:43.400 Now, not a single buyer
00:05:46.440 will buy our debt
00:05:48.100 except for the Federal Reserve.
00:05:51.660 Now, this doesn't just include,
00:05:54.980 you know,
00:05:56.720 the new stuff.
00:05:59.000 We're so good
00:06:00.460 that we sell 30-year bonds,
00:06:03.540 but not as much
00:06:05.500 as we do the one
00:06:06.480 and three and five-year bonds.
00:06:08.460 And those one,
00:06:09.660 three, and five-year bonds
00:06:10.900 have to be renewed.
00:06:12.440 So somebody bought that for a year.
00:06:14.720 Yeah, I'll roll the dice.
00:06:15.580 I'll put my money in
00:06:16.480 U.S. savings bonds
00:06:18.100 or treasury bonds
00:06:19.460 because they're the safest thing out there.
00:06:22.000 I don't trust anything else.
00:06:23.960 Well, when those come up,
00:06:25.980 who's going to buy them?
00:06:27.960 Nobody's buying them,
00:06:29.700 which means you have to raise
00:06:32.340 the interest paid on the bonds,
00:06:35.440 which you pay through taxes.
00:06:39.700 When you have a bond
00:06:42.740 that is paying 4% over the year,
00:06:45.780 you, the taxpayer,
00:06:48.240 have to come up with that 4%.
00:06:49.960 We are going to soon,
00:06:52.320 very soon,
00:06:53.400 be paying half,
00:06:55.860 half of all of the taxes paid
00:06:58.600 will go to just the interest
00:07:01.740 on, what is it,
00:07:03.820 $33 trillion now.
00:07:05.860 That's a lot of money.
00:07:07.100 That's a lot of money.
00:07:07.840 I don't know if you know that.
00:07:08.660 Just an interest.
00:07:09.340 That's a lot of money.
00:07:10.080 So the dollar went down again,
00:07:13.940 which means you have
00:07:15.480 less buying power.
00:07:18.760 And that's something else
00:07:20.300 people don't understand.
00:07:21.520 The target now of the Fed,
00:07:24.300 the target,
00:07:25.380 their hope
00:07:26.260 is that they can get us
00:07:28.640 into a period,
00:07:29.720 into a place
00:07:30.380 to where our inflation
00:07:31.480 is only 3% per year.
00:07:34.740 And you'd say,
00:07:35.860 well, inflation of 3%,
00:07:37.160 that's not bad.
00:07:37.960 Really?
00:07:39.520 Every year,
00:07:40.860 3%.
00:07:41.860 By the end of 10 years,
00:07:44.080 that means you've lost
00:07:45.680 about 38 cents
00:07:47.260 on every dollar.
00:07:49.420 It doesn't take very much
00:07:51.820 if they hit 4% inflation.
00:07:55.220 We're not even close to that.
00:07:57.840 This is why
00:07:58.900 everything is getting smaller
00:08:01.060 except the bill
00:08:03.200 at the grocery store.
00:08:04.600 It is getting larger.
00:08:05.860 And that is because
00:08:07.500 of out-of-control
00:08:08.800 spending in Washington.
00:08:11.540 Here's what happens.
00:08:12.900 When nobody buys our bonds,
00:08:15.520 our left pocket
00:08:17.260 says to our right pocket,
00:08:19.860 we need some more money.
00:08:22.260 And our right pocket says,
00:08:25.260 well, you should sell bonds.
00:08:27.780 And our left pocket says,
00:08:29.020 well, nobody's buying our bonds.
00:08:31.060 And so the right pocket
00:08:33.000 says to the left pocket,
00:08:34.100 well, you know what?
00:08:34.740 I tell you what.
00:08:36.480 I'll buy the bonds.
00:08:38.480 And then I'll just print
00:08:39.840 some more money
00:08:40.560 and you give me the bonds
00:08:42.980 in the left pocket
00:08:44.400 or the right pocket
00:08:45.360 and I'll give you new cash
00:08:47.480 in your pocket.
00:08:50.180 It's the same pair of pants.
00:08:53.260 This is a game.
00:08:55.420 This is the largest,
00:08:57.760 what is it,
00:08:58.460 five or six largest banks
00:09:00.240 banks in the country.
00:09:02.740 They are the Federal Reserve.
00:09:04.980 Okay?
00:09:05.300 This is a private corporation
00:09:08.680 and the ones who make up
00:09:11.740 the Federal Reserve
00:09:12.680 are the ones
00:09:14.060 that keep getting the bailouts.
00:09:15.980 They are going to be
00:09:17.120 the only banks left
00:09:18.920 at the end of this.
00:09:20.280 And then they'll fail
00:09:22.000 and it will turn over
00:09:23.480 to the Federal Reserve
00:09:24.760 and we'll write
00:09:26.160 a whole new thing
00:09:27.820 with all new money
00:09:29.200 and it will be digital money
00:09:31.360 and that digital money
00:09:33.200 will be programmable.
00:09:36.920 What does that mean?
00:09:38.820 Programmable means
00:09:39.740 they can make it expire
00:09:41.880 at any time.
00:09:43.260 They need you to spend your money.
00:09:44.800 So you have $1,000 in the bank.
00:09:47.800 $800 of that is going to expire
00:09:49.660 at the end of the month.
00:09:50.680 So you better spend it now.
00:09:53.060 Or, hey,
00:09:54.820 you really can't spend it on gas
00:09:57.560 because gas is getting too expensive
00:09:59.520 and you live close enough
00:10:02.360 to walk to the grocery store
00:10:04.060 and work or ride a bike.
00:10:05.640 So your money
00:10:07.720 in your account,
00:10:09.160 not everybody's,
00:10:10.080 but your money
00:10:10.940 because you're not
00:10:12.220 an essential worker
00:10:13.400 or you live close enough
00:10:15.280 in that 15-minute city
00:10:16.760 that you will never be able
00:10:18.860 to buy gas
00:10:19.800 with your digital dollar
00:10:21.460 from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
00:10:24.540 Well, for full faith
00:10:26.500 and credit, amen.
00:10:30.060 This is what they're going to do.
00:10:33.660 If you don't believe me,
00:10:35.340 please, please,
00:10:37.420 do your own homework.
00:10:39.560 Read the book, Dark Future.
00:10:41.600 It is footnoted.
00:10:43.340 It shows you exactly
00:10:44.940 how all of this is coming down,
00:10:46.980 how all of this is playing out.
00:10:49.100 It shows you what their plan is
00:10:51.220 in their own words.
00:10:53.980 Please, there is not a lot of time left
00:10:57.420 for you to protect yourself
00:10:59.100 and what you have.
00:11:02.380 And you might say,
00:11:03.140 well, I don't have anything,
00:11:03.980 so it doesn't matter.
00:11:05.060 Yes, it does matter.
00:11:07.300 It does matter.
00:11:08.220 Do you have a garden?
00:11:09.800 Do you have a backyard
00:11:10.900 you can turn into a garden?
00:11:12.360 Because, by the way,
00:11:13.760 food is also another controlling lever
00:11:18.160 and they are pulling that.
00:11:20.560 They are making our farmers
00:11:22.560 into the bad guy for the earth.
00:11:26.180 And don't worry,
00:11:27.560 Masanto is here
00:11:28.880 and Cargill is here.
00:11:31.320 So they are going to be
00:11:32.840 the great stewards of the earth.
00:11:35.240 And they, along with Bill Gates,
00:11:37.340 will control the farming
00:11:38.760 and they'll get you that food.
00:11:41.540 Of course, we're not going to make
00:11:42.460 a lot of food, you know,
00:11:43.520 with the land.
00:11:44.240 We're going to make it
00:11:45.380 in a Petri dish
00:11:46.560 and we're going to grow your food
00:11:48.200 through, you know,
00:11:49.780 pharmaceuticals
00:11:50.680 and better living
00:11:51.700 through chemicals.
00:11:53.460 So we found a way
00:11:55.420 to play God.
00:11:57.040 We can now make meat.
00:12:00.020 Uh-huh.
00:12:01.740 So we can protect the land.
00:12:04.280 Uh-huh.
00:12:05.020 Your freedom comes
00:12:08.660 from having access
00:12:11.320 to land and food,
00:12:13.820 to be able to grow your own food,
00:12:15.840 have farmers.
00:12:18.140 Your freedom comes
00:12:20.200 with you being able
00:12:22.180 to earn a dollar
00:12:23.220 and spend it the way
00:12:24.620 you want to spend it.
00:12:27.860 All of this is coming
00:12:29.640 to an end quickly.
00:12:32.440 You know, if people say,
00:12:33.820 well, you know,
00:12:35.120 I don't know
00:12:35.880 where my red line is.
00:12:37.220 Let me give you a red line
00:12:38.720 because we're running
00:12:39.940 out of red lines.
00:12:42.700 My red line came
00:12:44.300 a few years ago
00:12:45.660 and my red line,
00:12:47.340 one of my red lines
00:12:48.600 is don't screw
00:12:49.520 with my family.
00:12:51.080 Don't tell me
00:12:52.440 what I have to parrot back
00:12:54.420 that I know
00:12:55.180 is scientifically incorrect.
00:13:00.620 So I'm past my red line.
00:13:02.520 What is yours?
00:13:05.180 If you don't have one,
00:13:07.300 may I suggest a couple?
00:13:09.520 Now, they're very, very late.
00:13:12.200 But the red line should be
00:13:14.140 that I have access
00:13:16.960 to all information,
00:13:19.640 that I can do my own research,
00:13:22.920 and that I can question
00:13:24.440 even the most powerful
00:13:26.180 in the government.
00:13:27.860 And I can do it
00:13:30.760 without repercussions
00:13:32.120 because it is my right
00:13:34.680 to use my brain
00:13:37.120 to figure things out.
00:13:39.320 Now, I may be wrong
00:13:41.000 in the end,
00:13:41.780 but that is also my right,
00:13:43.680 that I can pursue truth.
00:13:47.420 The next line
00:13:49.040 should also include,
00:13:51.360 there's no one between
00:13:53.080 me and another citizen.
00:13:54.860 So I don't have,
00:13:57.520 when I am expressing
00:13:59.400 my point of view,
00:14:01.040 I can read
00:14:02.560 others' points of view,
00:14:04.000 and they can read mine
00:14:05.620 without somebody
00:14:07.360 in between saying,
00:14:09.000 well, no,
00:14:09.740 we're going to
00:14:10.500 de-emphasize this.
00:14:12.160 No, we're going to keep
00:14:13.080 this person quiet.
00:14:14.200 No, we're going to make sure
00:14:15.160 this person doesn't read
00:14:16.460 what that person is doing.
00:14:18.440 No one in between
00:14:20.000 me and the person
00:14:21.860 I want to have
00:14:22.400 a relationship with.
00:14:23.720 Even as the relationship
00:14:25.320 is, I disagree with you.
00:14:28.120 As long as it's not,
00:14:30.420 I'm coming to kill you,
00:14:32.380 then maybe, you know,
00:14:33.300 there should be somebody
00:14:34.120 that steps in.
00:14:35.320 But that's the way
00:14:36.460 it's always been.
00:14:39.760 Nobody has a right
00:14:41.440 to throttle my relationships
00:14:43.240 or get in between
00:14:44.500 me and someone else
00:14:46.280 or me and the truth.
00:14:47.600 And the last one is,
00:14:50.540 no, I own my land.
00:14:53.800 I own my land.
00:14:55.800 And I can be a good steward.
00:14:58.100 In fact, I'll be a better steward
00:14:59.780 than you are,
00:15:01.280 federal government.
00:15:03.020 I own my land
00:15:04.560 and I own my water.
00:15:06.480 And if I want to farm my land,
00:15:09.000 I can.
00:15:10.120 Once they take
00:15:11.420 the ability of the farmer away
00:15:14.500 to independently
00:15:16.540 grow vegetables,
00:15:18.080 food, cows,
00:15:19.100 whatever they want to do,
00:15:20.960 once that is taken away
00:15:23.520 from them
00:15:24.040 or made so onerous
00:15:25.660 that no one
00:15:26.820 except Cargill,
00:15:29.360 you know,
00:15:29.940 Monsanto
00:15:30.800 or the World Economic Forum
00:15:34.340 or the United States government
00:15:36.000 or Bill Gates,
00:15:37.700 when they take that ability
00:15:39.460 away from you,
00:15:40.960 the average person,
00:15:42.340 you're no longer free.
00:15:44.500 If you haven't set
00:15:48.040 a red line yet,
00:15:49.640 you might want
00:15:51.000 to consider it.
00:15:52.200 What is it going to take
00:15:54.140 for you to stand up
00:15:55.500 and say,
00:15:56.180 wrong direction,
00:15:57.620 no,
00:15:58.780 I'm not going there.
00:16:01.540 And let me just say
00:16:02.460 one more thing
00:16:02.980 and then we have to break.
00:16:07.800 Be very,
00:16:09.340 very careful
00:16:10.760 on who you align yourself with.
00:16:14.500 even your own faith
00:16:18.640 can be hijacked
00:16:20.480 and we can look
00:16:23.000 for a new Christian defender
00:16:26.140 who, you know,
00:16:28.380 we all love the Constitution,
00:16:30.040 but things, you know,
00:16:31.400 sometimes we have to do things.
00:16:33.460 And so we're going to give
00:16:34.580 this person extra power
00:16:36.960 and unleash him
00:16:38.920 to do what must be done.
00:16:41.060 Do not follow
00:16:43.660 that path.
00:16:45.740 Please
00:16:46.380 pay attention.
00:16:49.240 It's hard to see right now,
00:16:52.360 but it is going to become
00:16:53.680 very apparent soon.
00:16:55.540 the only restoration
00:16:58.260 we're looking for,
00:16:59.360 the only changes
00:17:00.260 we're looking for
00:17:01.380 is a restoration
00:17:04.020 of the Constitution
00:17:05.980 and the Declaration
00:17:07.020 of Independence
00:17:07.940 as written.
00:17:10.920 Period.
00:17:11.480 This is the best
00:17:13.880 of the Glenn Beck program.
00:17:15.820 Alan Dershowitz
00:17:16.500 is with us.
00:17:17.260 He is, of course,
00:17:17.900 the author of
00:17:19.120 Get Trump
00:17:19.880 and The Price of Principle
00:17:22.440 and host of The Dershow.
00:17:24.300 Alan Dershowitz
00:17:24.940 joins us now.
00:17:26.040 We would love
00:17:27.420 to understand,
00:17:28.800 Alan,
00:17:29.440 what exactly
00:17:32.580 is Donald Trump
00:17:34.980 being charged with
00:17:36.220 in this latest indictment?
00:17:39.200 The basic charge
00:17:40.900 is that he
00:17:42.000 personally
00:17:43.280 knew he had lost
00:17:44.900 the election.
00:17:45.600 He believed
00:17:46.480 that he had actually
00:17:47.940 lost the election
00:17:48.800 at Ferentz Square
00:17:49.560 and he engaged
00:17:50.880 in all these actions
00:17:52.620 with a corrupt
00:17:53.720 motive.
00:17:55.140 I don't think
00:17:56.040 the government's
00:17:56.660 going to be able
00:17:57.060 to prove that.
00:17:58.540 There is no...
00:17:59.060 First of all,
00:18:00.280 let me tell you something.
00:18:03.340 I talked to Donald Trump
00:18:04.900 probably about
00:18:06.740 two weeks before
00:18:07.740 January 6th.
00:18:09.320 There is no way
00:18:10.960 he believed
00:18:12.280 he lost that election.
00:18:13.720 There's still,
00:18:14.800 today,
00:18:15.520 he does not believe
00:18:17.140 he lost that election.
00:18:19.120 I can guarantee it.
00:18:20.620 You know him well enough
00:18:21.820 to know that.
00:18:23.580 He believes
00:18:24.740 he won the election
00:18:25.580 and he believes
00:18:27.140 it was stolen from him.
00:18:28.180 I think he's wrong.
00:18:29.840 Many people told him
00:18:31.140 he was wrong.
00:18:32.240 Many people are quoted
00:18:33.340 in the indictment
00:18:34.160 telling him he was wrong,
00:18:35.320 but that doesn't
00:18:36.320 make the crime.
00:18:37.720 Crime requires,
00:18:39.200 beyond a reasonable doubt,
00:18:40.740 that he himself
00:18:41.600 actually knew
00:18:42.920 and believed it
00:18:43.840 and acted
00:18:44.300 with a corrupt motive.
00:18:45.860 I don't think
00:18:46.820 the government's
00:18:47.460 going to be able
00:18:47.840 to prove that,
00:18:48.400 but to state
00:18:49.700 a broader point,
00:18:50.960 when the Attorney General
00:18:52.060 of the United States
00:18:52.820 authorizes an indictment,
00:18:54.400 as was done here,
00:18:55.340 against the man
00:18:56.620 running against
00:18:57.360 the incumbent president,
00:18:58.860 who is now tied
00:18:59.900 44-44
00:19:00.900 in the New York Times polls,
00:19:02.820 that indictment
00:19:03.920 better be the strongest
00:19:04.860 indictment
00:19:05.400 in American history.
00:19:06.880 There should be
00:19:07.380 a smoking gun,
00:19:08.400 fingerprints,
00:19:09.060 a videotape,
00:19:09.780 and a confession.
00:19:10.960 This document
00:19:12.260 is so flawed,
00:19:14.300 is so filled
00:19:15.220 with speculation.
00:19:16.380 Jack Smith's famous
00:19:17.240 for bringing
00:19:18.460 speculative cases
00:19:19.620 and then being
00:19:20.280 smacked down
00:19:21.020 by appellate courts.
00:19:22.440 This just doesn't
00:19:24.480 satisfy the
00:19:25.820 Banana Republic test.
00:19:27.600 In Banana Republics,
00:19:29.340 presidents prosecute
00:19:30.960 their political opponents,
00:19:32.500 and the stronger
00:19:33.340 their political opponents
00:19:34.340 are in the polls,
00:19:35.420 the more likely
00:19:36.280 they are to be prosecuted.
00:19:38.180 And we don't want
00:19:39.640 that to happen
00:19:40.360 in the United States.
00:19:41.980 And I think
00:19:42.940 this indictment
00:19:44.220 doesn't meet
00:19:45.020 what I call
00:19:46.080 the Nixon standard.
00:19:47.240 The Nixon standard
00:19:48.180 is Nixon's crimes
00:19:49.660 were so obvious
00:19:50.460 that even his
00:19:51.240 political supporters
00:19:52.220 favored
00:19:53.660 is being impeached
00:19:54.960 or being prosecuted.
00:19:56.460 That's not the case here.
00:19:58.520 Right now,
00:19:59.340 the only people
00:19:59.900 who seem to support
00:20:00.740 this indictment
00:20:01.500 are partisans
00:20:02.800 who are anti-Trump,
00:20:03.920 and that's just not enough
00:20:05.200 to heal the divisions
00:20:06.120 in this country.
00:20:07.760 So this indictment
00:20:08.560 will further the divisions,
00:20:10.120 especially if it's
00:20:11.560 ultimately reversed
00:20:12.400 on appeal.
00:20:12.960 Look, the indictment
00:20:13.900 is brought in
00:20:14.300 the District of Columbia.
00:20:15.380 The District of Columbia
00:20:16.200 jury will convict
00:20:17.420 anybody named Trump
00:20:18.440 for anything.
00:20:19.860 And that's why
00:20:20.820 the case should be moved
00:20:21.840 to Virginia.
00:20:23.400 It will be subject
00:20:25.180 to a motion
00:20:25.900 to change the venue
00:20:27.040 to Virginia
00:20:27.700 where you have
00:20:28.960 a level playing field.
00:20:30.080 It's a purple state.
00:20:31.000 This case should be tried
00:20:31.960 in a purple state,
00:20:33.200 not in a bright,
00:20:34.960 bright, bright,
00:20:35.840 bright, bright,
00:20:36.560 a Democratic state.
00:20:38.860 And that's where
00:20:40.220 it's being tried,
00:20:41.140 in the most Democratic
00:20:42.400 district in the United
00:20:43.580 States of America,
00:20:44.540 the most anti-Trump district
00:20:46.620 in the entire United States.
00:20:48.800 That's where the trial
00:20:50.060 is scheduled to be held
00:20:51.300 by a judge
00:20:53.580 who has a very
00:20:55.120 questionable background.
00:20:56.960 She worked for years
00:20:58.380 for a firm
00:21:00.400 that's highly questionable,
00:21:02.060 the David Boyes firm,
00:21:03.780 very, very Democratic-oriented.
00:21:06.500 They represented
00:21:07.760 Hunter Biden.
00:21:07.960 She was working,
00:21:08.920 right,
00:21:10.400 and Burisma,
00:21:11.320 and she was working there
00:21:12.340 at the time
00:21:13.220 of all of that stuff.
00:21:14.340 Not saying that she was
00:21:15.440 involved in it,
00:21:16.260 but...
00:21:16.940 Right.
00:21:17.620 David Boyes
00:21:18.380 and his firm
00:21:19.100 have been charged
00:21:20.180 with more cases
00:21:21.980 of corruption
00:21:23.500 and disbarbable conduct
00:21:25.920 than any law firm
00:21:27.740 in modern American history.
00:21:30.060 And it's well-known
00:21:31.820 for its being subject
00:21:35.520 to so many charges.
00:21:38.060 And she was part
00:21:38.980 of that firm.
00:21:39.800 And that's not something
00:21:40.820 I would brag about.
00:21:42.280 I got that firm disqualified
00:21:43.600 in a case because
00:21:45.060 of a conflict of interest.
00:21:46.620 And they've been charged
00:21:47.480 over and over again
00:21:48.860 with conflict
00:21:49.480 and other kinds of things.
00:21:50.760 And she spent most
00:21:52.000 of her career
00:21:52.580 in that firm.
00:21:53.460 So if I'm Donald Trump,
00:21:54.880 I don't want to be tried
00:21:55.820 in front of her.
00:21:56.940 I want to be tried
00:21:57.940 in front of a judge
00:21:58.840 who has a fairer
00:22:01.080 and better background.
00:22:02.080 And I want to be tried
00:22:03.360 in front of a jury
00:22:04.680 that isn't 90-something percent
00:22:06.960 anti-Trump voters.
00:22:09.420 Can he get that done?
00:22:11.820 He can try.
00:22:12.720 And if he loses,
00:22:14.160 it will be subject to appeal.
00:22:15.960 And that might be
00:22:17.360 the kind of thing
00:22:18.200 that could be appealed
00:22:18.980 immediately as well.
00:22:20.080 There's some dispute
00:22:20.980 about that.
00:22:21.540 Right.
00:22:22.000 But change of venue motions
00:22:23.640 can sometimes be subject
00:22:25.620 to what are called
00:22:26.420 interlocutory appeals.
00:22:28.500 So there's a lot
00:22:29.800 that will happen
00:22:31.240 before he stands trial
00:22:32.740 in the District of Columbia
00:22:33.920 in front of this judge.
00:22:36.660 This judge also
00:22:37.800 is the January 6th
00:22:39.940 hanging judge.
00:22:41.280 There hasn't been
00:22:41.860 a single case
00:22:42.740 that has come before her
00:22:43.820 that she hasn't given
00:22:45.560 tougher sentences
00:22:46.780 than even the government
00:22:48.280 was asking for.
00:22:50.660 Well, I mean,
00:22:51.840 you need to have,
00:22:53.240 in this case,
00:22:54.040 when you're trying,
00:22:54.760 the man who's running
00:22:55.540 against the incumbent
00:22:56.440 president,
00:22:57.500 there has to be,
00:22:58.280 it has to be
00:22:59.260 Caesar's wife.
00:23:00.900 It has to be clearer
00:23:02.200 and cleaner than anything.
00:23:04.480 And having the trial
00:23:05.340 in the District of Columbia
00:23:06.460 in front of this judge
00:23:07.660 on the basis
00:23:08.720 of an indictment
00:23:09.500 of this kind
00:23:10.380 is going to just
00:23:11.400 sow greater divisions
00:23:12.380 in this country.
00:23:13.580 People are not
00:23:14.440 going to be satisfied
00:23:15.340 that this is
00:23:16.800 fair, objective justice.
00:23:18.620 You know,
00:23:18.840 the Bible,
00:23:19.480 the Torah,
00:23:20.340 says,
00:23:21.040 lo takir ponim
00:23:22.260 to judges,
00:23:22.940 don't recognize faces.
00:23:24.820 Don't do justice
00:23:25.840 based on who
00:23:26.540 the person is.
00:23:27.780 Do justice
00:23:28.400 based on the law
00:23:29.420 and the facts.
00:23:30.340 And the law
00:23:30.780 and the facts
00:23:31.260 don't support
00:23:31.900 this indictment.
00:23:33.140 The author of
00:23:34.040 Get Trump
00:23:34.640 and the host
00:23:35.360 of the Dershow
00:23:36.060 podcast,
00:23:36.960 Alan Dershowitz.
00:23:38.180 So what do you think
00:23:39.360 about the first case,
00:23:41.860 as Jonathan Turley says,
00:23:43.480 making disinformation
00:23:45.280 a crime?
00:23:47.020 No, I think he's right.
00:23:48.140 I think this really
00:23:49.700 changes the nature
00:23:50.700 of American politics.
00:23:51.780 And if it were taken
00:23:53.320 to its logical conclusion,
00:23:55.220 half of Congress
00:23:55.960 would be in prison.
00:23:57.840 You can't make it a crime
00:23:59.720 to lie to the American public.
00:24:02.480 You know,
00:24:02.740 lying has been part
00:24:04.080 of American politics
00:24:05.500 since, you know,
00:24:07.600 Thomas Jefferson
00:24:08.480 ran against John Adams.
00:24:11.620 And the cure for lying
00:24:14.540 is the other side
00:24:16.000 tell the truth
00:24:16.660 and you win the election.
00:24:18.360 But the First Amendment
00:24:20.300 protects lies.
00:24:21.920 The First Amendment
00:24:22.580 protects so much speech
00:24:25.120 that we despise.
00:24:26.900 Look, I've defended
00:24:27.620 communists,
00:24:28.600 Nazis,
00:24:29.400 pornographers,
00:24:30.760 not because I like
00:24:32.160 any of them,
00:24:33.280 but because I like
00:24:34.560 free speech
00:24:35.380 and because the alternative
00:24:36.520 is a system
00:24:37.700 of censorship.
00:24:38.540 And this indictment
00:24:39.280 takes us
00:24:39.900 down the road
00:24:41.400 toward criminalizing
00:24:43.940 free speech.
00:24:45.280 And, you know,
00:24:46.240 what is true
00:24:46.940 and what is not true
00:24:47.840 is often in the eye
00:24:48.680 of the beholder,
00:24:49.380 particularly in the
00:24:50.580 political context.
00:24:51.620 Remember,
00:24:51.980 Chief Justice Rehnquist,
00:24:52.980 a conservative
00:24:53.540 chief justice,
00:24:54.740 said the First Amendment
00:24:55.960 doesn't recognize
00:24:57.540 a false opinion.
00:24:59.200 False opinions
00:25:00.040 and true opinions
00:25:01.520 have the same status
00:25:03.320 under the First Amendment.
00:25:05.200 And this is a case
00:25:07.280 criminalizing
00:25:08.500 false opinions,
00:25:11.320 what people believe
00:25:12.120 are false opinions,
00:25:12.760 what I believe
00:25:13.460 is a false opinion.
00:25:14.260 And I think that
00:25:15.040 President Biden
00:25:16.500 won the election
00:25:17.100 fair and square.
00:25:17.860 I wish there hadn't been
00:25:18.680 some of the Russia
00:25:19.980 dossier stuff
00:25:21.200 and some of the stuff
00:25:22.840 involving social media.
00:25:25.520 But the election count
00:25:27.000 itself was,
00:25:28.980 I think,
00:25:29.460 fair.
00:25:29.840 Was there some fraud?
00:25:31.460 Yeah.
00:25:32.160 Were there some
00:25:32.940 constitutional problems?
00:25:34.020 Yeah.
00:25:34.320 Pennsylvania violated
00:25:35.920 Article 2 of the Constitution,
00:25:37.500 in my opinion.
00:25:38.220 But it wouldn't have changed
00:25:39.280 the outcome of the election.
00:25:40.400 But Donald Trump has
00:25:41.320 the right to protest
00:25:44.000 and to be wrong
00:25:45.460 in his protests.
00:25:47.300 And that's what
00:25:48.340 the deepest problem
00:25:49.300 is here.
00:25:51.120 Can you go into this
00:25:52.840 a bit,
00:25:53.820 Alan?
00:25:54.140 Because I know
00:25:54.860 the founders,
00:25:55.520 they fought over
00:25:57.520 freedom of speech,
00:25:58.700 and especially when,
00:25:59.900 you know,
00:26:00.360 the Sedition Act
00:26:01.220 was imposed.
00:26:03.100 Right.
00:26:03.280 They went back and forth
00:26:04.920 and they said
00:26:06.380 the government
00:26:07.800 cannot ever be
00:26:10.180 the arbiter of truth.
00:26:12.200 It can't be.
00:26:14.380 Because sometimes
00:26:16.140 they're lying.
00:26:17.340 And if they're the only ones
00:26:18.900 that can say,
00:26:19.700 nope,
00:26:20.020 this is true,
00:26:20.840 this is not,
00:26:21.480 which they did in COVID
00:26:22.540 and everything else,
00:26:24.260 it is an unworkable society.
00:26:27.360 It eventually kills
00:26:29.140 all free speech.
00:26:30.420 Can you kind of explain
00:26:31.820 that in layman's terms
00:26:32.980 to people?
00:26:34.060 Yeah.
00:26:34.500 Well,
00:26:34.800 the 1800 election,
00:26:36.080 one of the great elections
00:26:36.880 in history,
00:26:37.560 was really about this.
00:26:39.320 John Adams,
00:26:40.080 and believe it or not,
00:26:40.860 even George Washington
00:26:41.940 had supported the alien,
00:26:43.340 and Alexander Hamilton
00:26:44.500 supported the Alien and Sedition Acts,
00:26:47.100 which punished opinions
00:26:49.220 that were contrary
00:26:50.460 to the opinions
00:26:51.280 of the government.
00:26:52.080 People actually went to prison.
00:26:53.840 Thomas Jefferson
00:26:54.380 ran against that,
00:26:55.540 and he overwhelmingly
00:26:56.820 beat John Adams,
00:26:58.900 who was a great man
00:26:59.960 and a great president.
00:27:01.500 But Americans wanted
00:27:02.940 free speech,
00:27:03.800 and Jefferson then
00:27:04.980 pardoned the people
00:27:05.780 who were convicted
00:27:06.620 under the Alien and Sedition Act.
00:27:09.320 And from then on,
00:27:11.020 I think the First Amendment
00:27:12.160 has been interpreted
00:27:13.380 very, very broadly,
00:27:15.760 which doesn't always
00:27:18.700 serve the interests
00:27:19.560 of the American public
00:27:20.980 immediately.
00:27:21.900 It means that
00:27:22.760 you do allow
00:27:23.760 adult pornography,
00:27:25.040 you do allow
00:27:25.680 communist speech
00:27:26.700 and Nazi speech
00:27:27.700 and hate speech
00:27:28.960 and anti-Semitic speech
00:27:30.240 and anti-Catholic speech
00:27:31.580 and anti-Christian
00:27:32.880 and anti-Muslim speech.
00:27:34.220 All of that is permitted.
00:27:35.300 Look what happened
00:27:35.760 in Sweden the other day.
00:27:36.960 They burnt a Torah.
00:27:38.900 They actually set it on fire.
00:27:40.680 They burnt a Torah.
00:27:42.240 And that would be permitted
00:27:43.280 in the United States
00:27:44.100 if it's your Torah
00:27:45.120 or your Koran.
00:27:47.080 Now, in Sweden,
00:27:47.980 they're trying to pass a law now
00:27:49.300 prohibiting the burning
00:27:51.180 of religious books,
00:27:52.300 and maybe that will pass.
00:27:53.500 But under our First Amendment,
00:27:55.280 we have extraordinarily
00:27:56.880 broad rights
00:27:57.940 to do the wrong thing.
00:27:59.560 And now,
00:28:00.360 President Trump
00:28:01.280 is being indicted
00:28:02.120 for doing what
00:28:03.040 this administration
00:28:04.340 thinks was the wrong thing.
00:28:05.960 I agree.
00:28:06.500 I think he did the wrong thing.
00:28:08.100 But he did say
00:28:09.160 when he made his
00:28:10.340 January 6th speech,
00:28:11.400 which I thoroughly disapprove of,
00:28:13.180 he did say
00:28:14.020 he wants people
00:28:14.800 to protest peacefully
00:28:15.880 and patriotically.
00:28:16.900 And when you leave that out,
00:28:18.640 that's as much of a lie
00:28:20.560 as anything
00:28:21.360 that Donald Trump
00:28:22.080 was accused of.
00:28:23.500 It's called
00:28:25.900 a lie of omission.
00:28:27.720 Alan, I appreciate it.
00:28:28.920 Thank you so much.
00:28:30.360 My pleasure.
00:28:30.820 I don't know
00:28:31.260 where all of this ends,
00:28:32.560 but I appreciate
00:28:33.540 your guidance on this.
00:28:35.460 Thank you so much.
00:28:36.200 Alan Dershowitz.
00:28:39.680 This is the best
00:28:41.000 of the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:42.700 This is amazing.
00:28:44.060 There's a Super Cup
00:28:45.120 now of the media
00:28:46.580 that I want to play
00:28:47.660 here in a second.
00:28:48.240 But I want you to remember
00:28:49.460 this is exactly
00:28:51.240 what I told you
00:28:52.460 happened during
00:28:53.780 the Lewinsky scandal.
00:28:56.380 First,
00:28:56.860 they said
00:28:57.420 he didn't do it.
00:28:58.340 He didn't do it.
00:28:58.960 We argued back and forth.
00:29:00.380 Yes, he did.
00:29:01.160 No, he didn't.
00:29:01.840 Yes, he did.
00:29:02.300 No, he didn't.
00:29:03.100 And then when we got to,
00:29:04.600 oh, here's the evidence,
00:29:05.920 people said
00:29:06.480 it didn't matter.
00:29:08.080 And that's pretty much
00:29:09.240 what we're hearing now.
00:29:10.400 Listen to the media
00:29:11.280 dismissing
00:29:12.160 Devin Archer's testimony
00:29:13.320 this week.
00:29:14.000 Joe Biden did nothing.
00:29:15.840 Nothing,
00:29:16.280 not even approximating improper,
00:29:18.340 much less wrong
00:29:19.160 or illegal.
00:29:20.000 It's wishful thinking.
00:29:21.120 They're trying to create
00:29:22.040 a scandal.
00:29:22.820 I think it's pretty clear,
00:29:24.100 at least so far,
00:29:25.100 there is nothing there.
00:29:26.180 House Republicans
00:29:26.820 continue their search
00:29:27.860 for any proof at all
00:29:28.860 tying President Joe Biden
00:29:30.220 to his son Hunter's
00:29:31.220 business dealings.
00:29:32.160 Joe Biden
00:29:32.880 had nothing to do
00:29:34.480 with Hunter Biden's
00:29:35.420 business dealings.
00:29:36.500 Because they wanted,
00:29:37.340 they wanted to dirty up
00:29:38.260 Biden's name.
00:29:38.960 You know,
00:29:39.220 Republicans have been
00:29:40.200 trying to use
00:29:41.020 Hunter Biden's behavior
00:29:42.240 against the president.
00:29:43.500 Did not know
00:29:44.440 about anything
00:29:45.640 that Hunter Biden
00:29:46.900 was doing.
00:29:47.620 scene of Biden
00:29:48.300 was simply involved
00:29:49.800 in his son's life
00:29:50.920 in a personal capacity.
00:29:52.620 Republicans from
00:29:53.220 consistently trying
00:29:54.360 to make this argument
00:29:55.460 and create the illusion
00:29:57.180 of some malfeasance
00:29:59.900 being there.
00:30:00.660 Spoke to
00:30:01.700 business associates
00:30:03.180 of Hunter Biden
00:30:04.460 to say hello,
00:30:06.260 to have small talk,
00:30:07.640 casual conversation.
00:30:09.260 Hunter Biden
00:30:09.720 talked to his dad
00:30:10.360 on the phone
00:30:10.760 all the time.
00:30:11.540 They talked
00:30:11.940 basically every day.
00:30:13.860 Sometimes Joe Biden
00:30:15.140 would say hello
00:30:15.880 to the people in the room
00:30:16.800 if he popped in
00:30:17.580 or on the phone
00:30:18.080 or whatever.
00:30:18.440 It's all casual
00:30:19.240 conversation,
00:30:20.760 niceties,
00:30:21.860 the weather.
00:30:22.720 They never discussed
00:30:23.540 the business.
00:30:24.240 These were more
00:30:24.780 of just cordial
00:30:25.980 hello types
00:30:26.740 of conversations.
00:30:28.040 Business was never
00:30:28.840 discussed on those calls
00:30:30.260 and that was more
00:30:30.860 casual sort of check-ins,
00:30:32.580 casual conversations.
00:30:33.900 President Biden
00:30:34.340 might have said,
00:30:34.960 hey,
00:30:35.880 quit putting me
00:30:36.720 on speakerphone.
00:30:37.700 You know,
00:30:38.580 are you having
00:30:39.540 a business meeting?
00:30:40.520 What is that about?
00:30:42.160 But do you hang up
00:30:43.160 on your phone,
00:30:43.820 on your side?
00:30:45.280 Yeah,
00:30:45.680 if you're the president
00:30:46.420 of the United States
00:30:47.180 and you have been
00:30:48.060 warned by the State Department
00:30:50.300 that this is highly irregular
00:30:54.580 and this is what was happening
00:30:56.760 during the Obama administration
00:30:58.060 and the Obama administration
00:30:59.600 completely dismissed it.
00:31:01.240 They were getting warnings
00:31:02.520 from all of their legal departments
00:31:04.940 at the State Department
00:31:06.660 and elsewhere saying,
00:31:07.880 he's involved in this bad stuff
00:31:11.280 and the president can't.
00:31:13.900 So the president was briefed.
00:31:15.600 Now the president
00:31:16.600 was speaking to his son
00:31:18.200 every day,
00:31:19.440 but he had no idea
00:31:21.160 what his son was doing.
00:31:22.820 As a parent,
00:31:23.980 do you believe
00:31:24.840 that could happen to you?
00:31:26.520 Do you believe
00:31:27.520 that your son
00:31:29.240 could be peddling
00:31:31.420 and dealing in your name
00:31:34.440 and selling influence
00:31:37.400 that is imagined?
00:31:39.100 Okay?
00:31:39.500 And you had no idea
00:31:42.040 when you are
00:31:43.280 the second most powerful man
00:31:45.000 in the country
00:31:45.920 where you have secret service
00:31:47.500 with your son
00:31:49.380 and with you
00:31:51.300 that you would have no idea
00:31:54.300 that your son
00:31:55.220 is doing dirty business
00:31:56.800 with oligarchs
00:31:57.980 and that he calls you
00:32:00.240 during those dinners
00:32:02.040 to introduce you.
00:32:02.840 But that's who you're
00:32:03.560 on the phone with, sir.
00:32:04.600 We were there.
00:32:05.480 Secret service was there.
00:32:06.580 These people are oligarchs,
00:32:08.620 very, very bad.
00:32:10.020 They're dirty businessmen.
00:32:12.320 You know,
00:32:13.100 nothing's going on,
00:32:14.060 I'm sure, with you,
00:32:14.920 but you have to know
00:32:16.300 that's who you spoke to.
00:32:18.580 We know
00:32:19.600 because the State Department
00:32:21.220 wrote to the vice presidential office
00:32:25.440 and said,
00:32:26.240 this is really bad.
00:32:27.980 Don't do this.
00:32:28.940 So they dismiss all of that.
00:32:30.980 But what they're doing now
00:32:33.020 is they're saying,
00:32:34.260 well, he was just,
00:32:36.400 he was mourning his son.
00:32:38.820 Listen to this from MSNBC.
00:32:41.440 Listen, cut six.
00:32:42.540 As far as Hunter Biden goes,
00:32:45.880 there's no doubt.
00:32:46.780 I mean, it's pretty clear,
00:32:47.880 even those close
00:32:48.620 to the Biden family
00:32:49.260 suggest that some of his behavior
00:32:50.340 was pretty unseemly.
00:32:51.460 That doesn't make it illegal.
00:32:52.900 And it also means
00:32:54.020 we don't know the role
00:32:55.260 that then-Vice President Biden
00:32:57.280 may have played.
00:32:58.020 And it seems like,
00:32:59.100 no, they haven't proven
00:33:00.000 that he had anything to do with it.
00:33:01.160 They haven't proven
00:33:01.600 that he profited from this at all.
00:33:03.880 Yet maybe he is guilty
00:33:04.940 of turning a blind eye
00:33:06.180 to some of his son's behavior.
00:33:08.720 And we should put this in context.
00:33:10.000 This is a time when Beau Biden,
00:33:12.000 the president's other son,
00:33:12.880 was ill and then dying
00:33:13.860 and then passed away.
00:33:15.700 So perhaps he was
00:33:17.120 not as attentive
00:33:19.120 to what he should have been here.
00:33:20.220 But again,
00:33:20.880 there has simply been
00:33:21.780 no evidence,
00:33:22.560 no evidence at all
00:33:24.160 that he was profiting from this.
00:33:26.140 Okay.
00:33:27.320 You're a jurist.
00:33:28.820 And let me just ask,
00:33:30.420 ladies and gentlemen of the jury,
00:33:32.400 we now have evidence
00:33:34.220 from the business partner
00:33:35.640 and others
00:33:37.000 that Joe Hunter Biden
00:33:39.520 was called
00:33:40.340 to an emergency meeting
00:33:42.120 in Dubai
00:33:42.920 because Burisma
00:33:44.600 was being investigated
00:33:46.340 by Victor Shokin.
00:33:48.380 Victor Shokin
00:33:49.240 was the state prosecutor
00:33:50.960 and he was looking
00:33:52.000 into corruption.
00:33:53.820 As testimony points out,
00:33:56.640 if the Biden,
00:33:59.360 what did they call it,
00:34:01.880 brand
00:34:02.480 was not a part of this,
00:34:05.640 that Burisma
00:34:08.420 would have gone
00:34:09.500 out of business
00:34:10.300 and all of these guys
00:34:11.740 would have lost their money.
00:34:13.300 But it was the Hunter brand
00:34:15.280 that saved it.
00:34:17.040 Now,
00:34:17.360 he was called
00:34:17.840 to this emergency meeting,
00:34:19.180 ladies and gentlemen
00:34:19.820 of the jury,
00:34:20.540 with all of the oligarchs
00:34:21.900 from Burisma.
00:34:23.020 They were telling him this
00:34:24.780 and telling him
00:34:25.820 that he had to call
00:34:27.020 his father
00:34:27.820 for the brand
00:34:29.760 to take care of it.
00:34:31.520 He then does.
00:34:32.940 Now,
00:34:34.340 the defense
00:34:35.360 would have you believe
00:34:36.460 that he calls them
00:34:38.160 during that
00:34:39.260 very important
00:34:40.200 emergency meeting
00:34:41.300 where tensions were high
00:34:42.480 and he just said
00:34:43.980 hello to his father,
00:34:45.500 introduced everyone
00:34:46.680 to them,
00:34:47.760 to him,
00:34:48.580 on the phone,
00:34:49.400 but nothing was said
00:34:51.760 except,
00:34:52.800 I miss my brother,
00:34:54.040 I know,
00:34:54.680 I lost my son,
00:34:56.260 the weather here
00:34:57.100 is fine in D.C.,
00:34:58.720 we'll talk later,
00:35:00.720 son.
00:35:00.960 And the business partners
00:35:03.820 that were paying a guy
00:35:05.180 who didn't speak Russian,
00:35:06.700 didn't speak Ukrainian,
00:35:08.920 did not know anything
00:35:10.260 about the oil and gas business.
00:35:12.200 He was specifically called
00:35:13.880 because the brand
00:35:15.540 was supposed to take care
00:35:17.320 of things like Viktor Shokin.
00:35:19.520 But nothing happened
00:35:20.880 until five days later,
00:35:23.800 Joe Biden goes
00:35:25.000 and withholds
00:35:26.640 $1 billion worth of aid
00:35:28.960 from the United States government
00:35:30.420 unless they fire
00:35:32.520 Viktor Shokin.
00:35:34.200 And then he comes out
00:35:35.740 and he brags about it.
00:35:37.400 Listen.
00:35:38.420 I'm desperately concerned
00:35:40.100 about the backsliding
00:35:42.060 on the part of Kiev
00:35:45.060 in terms of corruption.
00:35:47.020 They made,
00:35:47.840 I mean,
00:35:48.240 I'll give you one concrete example.
00:35:50.420 I was,
00:35:51.800 not I,
00:35:52.380 but it just happened to be
00:35:53.480 that was the assignment I got.
00:35:54.860 I got all the good ones.
00:35:57.500 And so I got Ukraine.
00:35:59.640 And I remember going over
00:36:02.080 convincing our team,
00:36:03.680 our brothers too,
00:36:05.140 convincing us
00:36:05.840 that we should be providing
00:36:07.080 for loan guarantees.
00:36:08.960 And I went over,
00:36:10.300 I guess,
00:36:10.920 the 12th,
00:36:11.920 13th time
00:36:12.720 to Kiev.
00:36:13.320 and I was supposed
00:36:15.320 to announce
00:36:16.040 that there was another
00:36:17.120 billion dollar loan guarantee.
00:36:19.140 And I had gotten
00:36:20.440 a commitment
00:36:20.980 from Poroshenko
00:36:22.140 and from Yatsenyuk
00:36:24.920 that they would take action
00:36:26.080 against the state prosecutor
00:36:27.420 and they didn't.
00:36:28.600 So they said,
00:36:29.480 they were walking out
00:36:30.360 to the press conference
00:36:30.860 and said,
00:36:31.160 no,
00:36:31.380 I said,
00:36:31.660 I'm not going to,
00:36:32.500 we're not going to give you
00:36:33.780 the billion dollars.
00:36:35.400 They said,
00:36:36.000 you have no authority.
00:36:36.880 You're not the president.
00:36:37.700 The president said,
00:36:38.480 I said,
00:36:38.780 call him.
00:36:39.220 I said,
00:36:41.100 I'm telling you,
00:36:41.540 you're not getting
00:36:41.960 the billion dollars.
00:36:43.360 I said,
00:36:43.800 you're not getting
00:36:44.360 the billion.
00:36:44.740 I'm going to be leaving here.
00:36:45.760 And I think it was,
00:36:46.320 what,
00:36:46.420 six hours.
00:36:47.100 I looked,
00:36:47.400 I said,
00:36:47.620 I'm leaving in six hours.
00:36:49.080 If the prosecutor's not fired,
00:36:50.640 you're not getting the money.
00:36:52.120 Oh,
00:36:52.420 son of a,
00:36:53.080 got fired.
00:36:55.200 And they put in place
00:36:56.600 someone who was solid
00:36:58.480 at the time.
00:36:59.980 Okay,
00:37:00.560 stop.
00:37:01.040 This was someone solid
00:37:03.240 at the time,
00:37:04.480 somebody who would not
00:37:05.880 investigate Burisma.
00:37:07.920 That,
00:37:08.480 ladies and gentlemen
00:37:09.340 of the jury,
00:37:10.100 you are asked to believe
00:37:11.660 was a complete coincidence.
00:37:15.860 Complete.
00:37:17.200 By the way,
00:37:18.020 you know,
00:37:18.280 when I will believe
00:37:19.640 that Joe Biden
00:37:20.920 has actually accepted
00:37:23.780 his granddaughter,
00:37:25.580 Hunter's illegitimate child,
00:37:28.320 when I believe
00:37:29.740 that he's accepted her
00:37:31.320 as part of the family,
00:37:32.500 is when they set up
00:37:34.100 a shell corporation
00:37:35.260 for her in her name.
00:37:36.800 that's when I'll believe
00:37:38.320 she's part of the family.
00:37:40.320 I'm just saying.
00:37:41.380 They do keep saying this
00:37:42.340 where they're like,
00:37:42.860 oh,
00:37:43.040 well,
00:37:43.160 there's no evidence
00:37:43.960 that he profited at all
00:37:45.280 from any of this.
00:37:46.040 It's like,
00:37:46.480 well,
00:37:46.740 what are all these bank records
00:37:48.340 with millions of dollars
00:37:49.520 being transferred
00:37:50.240 to shell companies
00:37:51.100 in names of
00:37:51.960 random Biden family members
00:37:54.500 that didn't have anything
00:37:55.900 to do with these businesses?
00:37:56.700 Like,
00:37:57.420 yeah.
00:37:59.800 Okay,
00:38:00.420 like,
00:38:00.680 how do you explain that?
00:38:01.480 How do you explain it?
00:38:02.280 Like,
00:38:02.420 come up with something.
00:38:03.520 Can you at least try
00:38:04.500 to explain it?
00:38:05.840 Can you try to explain
00:38:07.160 the WhatsApp message
00:38:08.100 where he's saying
00:38:08.680 he's in the same room
00:38:09.700 with his father
00:38:10.400 and we're holding
00:38:11.360 a grudge against you
00:38:12.320 and we are going to
00:38:15.400 make your life a living hell
00:38:16.540 if you don't get this payment
00:38:18.680 to come through right now.
00:38:20.100 Can you at least come up
00:38:21.180 with some way
00:38:22.700 of trying to explain that?
00:38:25.180 I mean,
00:38:25.940 they're sort of,
00:38:27.100 the media is sort of
00:38:28.500 taking this road of,
00:38:30.140 well,
00:38:30.480 it was Hunter
00:38:31.140 and he was bad
00:38:32.160 and he was selling
00:38:32.820 the illusion
00:38:33.380 of some sort of influence
00:38:37.400 from his dad
00:38:39.000 and it wasn't real.
00:38:40.120 But like,
00:38:40.940 why don't we have
00:38:41.780 the actual administration
00:38:43.280 saying that's what happened?
00:38:45.460 Why is it the media
00:38:46.500 carrying that water?
00:38:47.660 Why isn't the,
00:38:48.940 why isn't Joe Biden
00:38:50.200 required to come out
00:38:51.480 and say,
00:38:51.960 yes,
00:38:52.220 this was my son
00:38:53.080 doing this terrible,
00:38:54.020 terrible thing
00:38:54.940 and he's really,
00:38:56.380 really bad
00:38:56.740 and, you know,
00:38:57.040 we're not going to invite him
00:38:57.880 to the next state dinner.
00:38:58.940 So maybe he shouldn't be
00:39:00.220 in the room
00:39:01.060 with those people
00:39:01.760 next time.
00:39:02.960 Uh-huh.
00:39:03.880 Ladies and gentlemen
00:39:04.800 of the jury,
00:39:05.340 I would just like
00:39:06.160 to ask you this question.
00:39:07.980 The media is now saying,
00:39:10.000 yes,
00:39:10.240 what Hunter Biden did
00:39:11.540 was bad
00:39:12.500 and possibly even illegal.
00:39:14.580 It was illegal.
00:39:15.860 He was not a registered
00:39:16.820 foreign agent
00:39:17.700 and yet he was acting
00:39:18.940 as one,
00:39:19.980 meaning representing,
00:39:21.600 representing people
00:39:23.120 in foreign countries
00:39:24.480 and doing business
00:39:25.780 for them
00:39:26.360 in the United States
00:39:27.640 on their behalf.
00:39:29.080 He was never registered.
00:39:30.220 That's against the law.
00:39:31.780 Okay?
00:39:32.100 Can't do it.
00:39:33.080 He also was doing
00:39:34.540 something very nefarious.
00:39:36.260 Let's say he was doing
00:39:37.160 on his own.
00:39:37.680 His father had no idea.
00:39:39.480 He was trading
00:39:40.380 on the Biden family name
00:39:42.520 and selling the brand.
00:39:44.200 This is now accepted
00:39:45.820 by people in the media.
00:39:47.720 It was the brand.
00:39:49.080 He was selling the brand,
00:39:50.440 but the president
00:39:51.700 didn't have anything
00:39:52.840 to do with it.
00:39:54.280 Okay?
00:39:54.960 Let's take that
00:39:56.080 at face value
00:39:56.940 as it's absolutely true.
00:39:59.000 Why hasn't the president
00:40:00.040 come out and said that?
00:40:01.660 Why hasn't the president
00:40:02.640 come out and said,
00:40:03.800 look,
00:40:04.260 it's important
00:40:04.960 that you know
00:40:06.020 if your president
00:40:06.900 is a crook or not.
00:40:08.360 Well,
00:40:08.600 I'm not a crook.
00:40:09.800 My son,
00:40:10.900 I found out
00:40:12.180 while I was grieving
00:40:13.660 my son,
00:40:15.140 he,
00:40:15.600 my other son,
00:40:16.440 is trading
00:40:17.200 on my name
00:40:18.180 making it look like
00:40:19.500 I would provide deals.
00:40:21.680 You know,
00:40:21.960 my son is very troubled.
00:40:23.640 He has had
00:40:24.200 a very difficult time
00:40:25.580 with drugs.
00:40:26.360 He was out of control,
00:40:27.960 but I am not going
00:40:30.000 to stand in the way
00:40:31.380 of his prosecution
00:40:32.800 if that's what people believe.
00:40:35.100 But I want you to know
00:40:36.300 I'm shocked and horrified
00:40:38.160 by what my son did,
00:40:39.760 but I had nothing
00:40:41.680 to do with it.
00:40:42.520 He's not doing that.
00:40:44.320 Why?
00:40:45.380 Why?
00:40:45.760 Why is the media doing that?
00:40:47.400 But they're not insisting
00:40:48.940 that the president
00:40:49.740 should do that.
00:40:51.320 His whole thing
00:40:52.960 for the last five years
00:40:54.600 has been to lie
00:40:56.620 over and over again
00:40:58.200 to the media.
00:40:59.420 My son did nothing wrong.
00:41:01.940 Well,
00:41:02.220 we now know
00:41:03.140 and it's pretty well accepted
00:41:04.760 that he was trading
00:41:06.340 on the Biden name.
00:41:07.760 That is wrong.
00:41:10.120 He was acting
00:41:11.020 as a foreign agent
00:41:12.140 without being registered.
00:41:13.820 That's illegal.
00:41:15.840 Why won't the president
00:41:17.060 come out and say that?
00:41:18.600 Yeah,
00:41:18.800 and like,
00:41:19.220 I can certainly understand
00:41:21.160 why the president
00:41:22.440 doesn't want to come out
00:41:24.080 and say that.
00:41:25.040 I totally get it
00:41:26.280 because it makes him
00:41:27.060 look illegal
00:41:27.700 like he broke the law
00:41:29.100 and his family
00:41:30.100 is in turmoil
00:41:31.780 and his son
00:41:32.640 should obviously
00:41:33.340 go to prison.
00:41:34.100 I get why
00:41:35.020 he wouldn't want
00:41:36.120 to say that,
00:41:36.880 but I don't get why
00:41:37.840 the media
00:41:38.840 isn't requiring him
00:41:40.920 to come out
00:41:41.460 and say it.
00:41:41.980 They certainly
00:41:42.720 would do this
00:41:43.440 if it was
00:41:44.260 anyone else.
00:41:45.500 Any Republican
00:41:46.160 would be required
00:41:47.360 that he'd be pestered
00:41:48.460 every time he walked
00:41:49.340 in front of a camera.
00:41:50.320 He would be asked
00:41:50.920 to say that exact thing
00:41:52.500 and they're not
00:41:53.200 doing that at all.
00:41:54.800 They're not.
00:41:55.580 He needs to say
00:41:56.980 those things.
00:41:57.820 He needs to come out
00:41:58.540 and say those things
00:41:59.840 and he's not.
00:42:02.120 Of course,
00:42:02.780 we understand
00:42:03.400 why Joe Biden
00:42:04.680 is trying to avoid that,
00:42:05.960 but like if we had
00:42:07.380 a media with
00:42:07.900 any reasonable
00:42:10.400 integrity
00:42:11.740 and attachment
00:42:13.700 to journalistic principles,
00:42:15.160 this is all they'd be
00:42:16.240 focused on right now
00:42:17.520 and yet they keep
00:42:18.840 falling for the same
00:42:19.580 trick, Glenn,
00:42:20.540 that you've outlined
00:42:21.020 multiple times today.
00:42:22.080 The day after this stuff
00:42:23.260 comes out,
00:42:23.880 they do something
00:42:24.560 like indict Donald Trump
00:42:25.600 and now the entire media
00:42:27.480 is on that bandwagon
00:42:29.100 instead of the one
00:42:29.880 they should be looking at.
00:42:30.680 Na-na-na-na
00:42:32.240 Na-na-na
