Transcript
00:00:00.000
hey it's friday let me say that again oh it's friday uh and the podcast today is really really
00:00:08.740
good uh it's the impeachment hearings we we will show you in real time how the ambassador
00:00:16.120
was lying quite honestly um or just so unbelievably incompetent that she just didn't
00:00:26.220
know all these things were going on around her you'll have to decide the circus continues today
00:00:32.360
also stew and i have shook hands on a car race sure that's gonna end well oh yeah uh neither of us are
00:00:42.040
race car drivers but uh you know we both got our back up in the heat of the moment and decided oh
00:00:48.600
really i can i'll race you i'll beat you uh and so we're i think we're committed now it's also pretty
00:00:54.320
much how every world war starts yes it is it is we might run over an arch duke uh at some point
00:01:01.240
all right all on today's podcast you're gonna love it here it is
00:01:04.340
you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program
00:01:14.460
the only thing that we know happened with giuliani is that these guys introduced him
00:01:25.100
to the two prosecutor generals because the prosecutor generals were desperate to get this information
00:01:32.580
to america to somebody who would listen and so they said hey we we have the proof the prosecutor
00:01:40.080
generals they want to get and he said well can you line up a meeting with me and so it was that guy
00:01:46.380
those two guys that are bad news that put rudy giuliani in touch with um the biden i've got to
00:01:55.100
fire prosecutor general and the biden oh this is the good guy prosecutor general those two had several
00:02:03.400
meetings with rudy giuliani and that's where he got all this information and it is interesting that both
00:02:08.780
the person that biden wanted to replace initially and the person that biden replaced them with
00:02:14.860
both of them now are still saying things that are very critical uh of the storyline the democrats are
00:02:21.940
presenting correct both of them you know that's you think normally in a normal story that would be
00:02:28.120
a pretty big deal right like when you have the person that biden's basically hand shows to put in
00:02:33.720
there as the good guy and that guy is not agreeing with the left way storyline i know but they've turned
00:02:39.740
they've turned because they just want to keep their jobs they don't have jobs
00:02:43.100
i mean there is this thing where basically because there's so there is so much corruption in this
00:02:51.240
country yeah they can kind of just say well i mean we just we picked another person we thought
00:02:55.480
they were good and they were corrupt too yeah and it's like well that is uh believable at some
00:03:00.860
level in ukraine because seemingly anyone who goes within 100 miles of ukraine turns into mr corruption
00:03:06.360
yes um which brings us back to the ambassador yovanovich who is more uh more than 100 yards closer
00:03:14.280
to ukraine she was actually in ukraine she is the she's the key let's take devon uh nunez here and his
00:03:22.420
uh opening statement real quick yeah it's coming up here uh okay coming up and running coming up in just a
00:03:29.440
second um they're getting ready to introduce the ambassador who is going to testify and uh
00:03:35.840
she's the one who was coordinating uh with the um ambassador in the united states for ukraine to get
00:03:46.380
information back and forth about donald trump and the last campaign everything that america thought
00:03:52.480
they were going to find on donald trump in russia it's right here but i'm curious i mean shift is
00:03:57.460
finishing up and here comes nunez does anyone think shift is good at this today shift yeah i think he's
00:04:02.100
horrible continue engaging here's nunez the democrats day-long tv spectacles instead of solving the
00:04:09.560
problems we were all sent to washington to address we now have a major trade agreement with canada and
00:04:16.460
mexico ready for approval a deal that would create jobs and boost our economy meanwhile we have not yet
00:04:24.060
approved funding for the government which expires next week along with funding for our men and women
00:04:30.840
in uniform instead the democrats have convened us once again to advance their operation to topple a
00:04:38.780
duly elected president i'll note that five five democrats on this committee had already voted to impeach
00:04:47.600
this president before the trump zelinski phone call occurred in fact democrats have been vowing to oust
00:04:56.240
president trump since the day he was elected so americans can rightly suspect that his phone call with
00:05:02.600
president zelinski was used as an excuse for the democrats to fulfill their watergate fantasies
00:05:10.880
but i'm glad that on wednesday after the democrats staged six weeks of secret depositions
00:05:19.040
in the basement of the capitol like some kind of strange cult the american people finally got to see
00:05:27.940
they saw us sit through hours of hearsay testimony about conversations that two diplomats who had never
00:05:36.440
spoken to the president heard second hand third hand and fourth hand from other people that's
00:05:42.580
literally what they were testifying on rumors hearsay the problem of trying to overthrow a president
00:05:49.500
based on this type of evidence is obvious but that's what their whole case relies on beginning
00:05:56.900
with second hand and third hand information cited by the whistleblower that's why on wednesday the
00:06:03.180
democrats were forced to make the absurd argument that hearsay can be much better evidence than direct
00:06:11.220
evidence they actually tried to make that case as well just in the spectacle couldn't get more
00:06:16.180
bizarre case you didn't know many republicans received a memo from the democrats threatening ethics
00:06:20.940
referrals if we out the whistleblower as the democrats are well aware no republicans here know the
00:06:28.740
whistleblower's identity because the whistleblower only met with democrats not with republicans
00:06:35.440
chairman schiff claimed not to know who it is yet he also vowed to block us from asking questions that
00:06:42.920
could reveal his or her identity republicans on this committee are left wondering how it's even
00:06:50.600
possible for the chairman to block questions about a person whose identity he claims not to know
00:06:57.980
the american people may be seeing these absurdities for the first time but republicans on this dais are
00:07:06.200
used to them until they secretly met with the whistleblower democrats showed little interest for the
00:07:12.240
last three years in any topic aside from the ridiculous conspiracy theories that president trump is a
00:07:18.940
russian agent when you find yourself on the phone like the democrats did with russian pranksters offering
00:07:27.420
you nude pictures of trump and afterward you order your staff to follow up and get the photos as the
00:07:33.880
democrats also did then it might be time to ask yourself if you've gone out too far on a limb
00:07:40.640
even as they were accusing republicans of colluding with russians the democrats themselves were colluding
00:07:47.580
with russians by funding the steel dossier which was based on russian and ukrainian sources meanwhile
00:07:55.580
they turn a blind eye to ukrainians meddling in our elections because the democrats were cooperating
00:08:00.860
with that operation this was the subject of a july 20th 2017 letter sent by senator grassley
00:08:10.520
to then deputy attorney general rod rosenstein the letter raised concerns about the activities of
00:08:19.140
alexander chalupa a contractor for the democratic national committee who worked with ukrainian embassy
00:08:26.420
officials to spread dirt on the trump campaign as senator grassley wrote chalupa's action quote
00:08:34.360
chalupa's actions appear to show that she was simultaneously working on behalf of a foreign
00:08:39.800
government ukraine and on behalf of the dnc and the clinton campaign in an effort to influence not
00:08:47.640
only the u.s voting population but u.s government officials unquote after touting the steel dossier and
00:08:55.880
defending the fbi's russia investigation which are now being investigated by inspector general
00:09:01.020
horowitz and attorney general barr democrats on this committee ignore ukrainian election meddling
00:09:06.640
even though chalupa publicly admitted to the democrats scheme
00:09:11.160
likewise they are blind to the blaring signs of corruption
00:09:16.780
surrounding hunter biden's well-paid position on the board of a corrupt ukrainian company
00:09:22.260
do you see the latest while his father served as vice president
00:09:24.960
and point man for ukraine issues in the obama administration new banking records have been
00:09:31.820
released uh-oh what do they show shows he got all kinds of money uh from burisma making direct
00:09:39.400
payments uh you know of course he didn't make a dime we should also point out when they're bringing
00:09:45.660
up chalupa here chalupa is someone that of course the republicans really want to talk to about all of
00:09:51.500
this and of course obviously you'd think well the democrats don't want her to talk blah blah blah blah
00:09:55.680
blah and so they're not letting you know her be called she herself though is saying she wants to come
00:10:01.280
testify she wants to so they're actually not only rejecting the republicans they're rejecting her
00:10:06.460
request to come testify unbelievable unbelievable unbelievable okay we'll come back to this and uh you know
00:10:12.580
and give you all of the important stuff uh i think it's worth listening to the ambassador it might
00:10:18.740
make your head explode but uh really listen how the um the embassy and the state department are spinning
00:10:25.880
this if you watched our specials you already know who these people are if you if you watched uh wednesday
00:10:33.800
night and saw our special wednesday night you know why the state department and why schiff and everybody
00:10:40.400
else is working so hard to control this uh because one misstep on this and then literally the state
00:10:50.160
department and the dnc fall apart the best of the glenn beck program
00:10:57.200
hey it's glenn and you're listening to the glenn beck program if you like what you're hearing on this
00:11:08.040
show make sure you check out pat gray unleashed it's available wherever you download your favorite
00:11:13.720
podcasts so i haven't heard a lot of stuff you know besides the lies um a lot of stuff on principle
00:11:20.520
that i disagree with you know um she does work for uh you know at the at the will of the president
00:11:28.000
so why wasn't she fired a year before why when the president first came to the state department and
00:11:33.740
said i want you to change her out did they not change her out that's the sort of stuff that
00:11:38.320
trump's been complaining about correct he wants things carried out and people don't carry them
00:11:42.000
out that's what haley has in her book yes i mean it's that's why he that's why honestly he looks to
00:11:48.860
be erratic he just did this in ukraine no he's been trying to fire her for a year and they wouldn't fire
00:11:55.840
her you know a guy at least me this is somebody just said this to me the other day you're going
00:12:02.420
to speak this into existence and i said yes i'm going to because sometimes when you're up against
00:12:07.800
a whole mob that just doesn't see the vision or doesn't want to go there then that's the time that
00:12:12.760
you just say i'm moving forward with or without you i'm moving forward and that's what donald trump
00:12:18.940
did because the state department thinks they run the uh foreign policy they don't they work for the
00:12:27.260
president i also am fine with all the stuff that she said about we have to have stability and we don't
00:12:33.900
want corruption yes however as you as we have shown you the deep state corruption and what they were
00:12:43.540
actually doing in ukraine for her to say i would never work together with anyone that was trying
00:12:51.080
to throw the election you weren't there you started by saying i can't comment on those things and then
00:12:58.560
you comment on those things just to try to smear you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program
00:13:09.620
all right jason tell me the things that um that you think they have to do right now i tell you what
00:13:27.280
i really do wish they had phone a friend like who wants to be a millionaire because we would be calling
00:13:31.260
in non-stop i've been rapid fire tweeting jim jordan uh just in the hopes that someone from a staff see
00:13:36.500
some of this stuff but right from the get-go the opening statement was exactly what we were talking
00:13:40.720
about in our special uh the other day and that was pretty much you know in a nutshell in summation
00:13:45.620
we know better than you do the president does not know what we know we're gonna do what we want
00:13:51.720
regardless so you can just you know shove it basically um but right from the top right after
00:13:57.140
the opening statement that you know there was the claims that shokin was corrupt um he asked her
00:14:02.740
very specifically is that the case and again she said she wouldn't comment on things she didn't know
00:14:07.500
but she right from a get-go commented on whether shokin was corrupt and was like yeah i believe so
00:14:11.900
right that's what she said i believe so based on what exactly they have never ever made a charge
00:14:18.760
against this guy no one has yep no one they say he's corrupt but no one has ever made a charge
00:14:25.280
they've never done an investigation he's never i mean how do you go to jail with i shouldn't say
00:14:31.300
this was soros around how do you go to jail without an investigation he still doesn't know
00:14:36.920
why he's being called corrupt and we've talked to members of his staff that have court that have
00:14:42.460
you know problems said that yeah and had problems with didn't like his policies yeah right left his
00:14:48.360
employee because they didn't agree with what he was focused on but when they said he was corrupt
00:14:53.660
they were like he wasn't corrupt look i know i have nothing to do with this guy i i don't i have no
00:14:58.840
love lost here but he wasn't corrupt he wasn't corrupt so questions for i think jim jordan the
00:15:05.040
republicans should be doing this okay you say he was corrupt tell us why he's corrupt tell us the
00:15:08.620
specific charges oh we're none officially brought up then show us the evidence that you gathered to
00:15:13.720
come to having a foreign uh a leader fired from his job right that's a big deal and replaced by a guy
00:15:21.360
that uh when years later when biden said and we had him replaced as he was bragging with a good guy
00:15:30.060
what's changed since then you want to talk about a smear campaign tell me the evidence on what shokin did
00:15:38.580
to get fired and how the guy who joe biden years later when he's bragging about it how that guy is
00:15:48.480
suddenly corrupt like to see the evidence like to see the charges like to see anything that anyone
00:15:54.120
filed and why doesn't that seem like that should corroborate the person that the information that
00:16:00.000
uh that you got fired when the second prosecutor one of your guys that you signed off on basically
00:16:05.680
said the same exact things when they corroborate each other doesn't that put more you know a little
00:16:10.600
bit more evidence that what they're saying is actually corrupt they're both corrupt and shouldn't
00:16:14.340
be listened to that's so ridiculous and if they but it wouldn't be if you had made the case
00:16:20.600
they just say he's corrupt no one will make the case there's never been any charges there's nothing
00:16:29.240
nothing you know it's like the the the part that drove me nuts is when she was saying uh uh with that
00:16:39.300
list you know uh you know yovanovich he said or uh not yovanovich um lutsenko the the uh prosecutor
00:16:50.500
prosecutor general that came in to the embassy and she apparently said here's here's the list of people
00:16:57.560
you can't i don't want you touching george soros or these ngos and uh she says he retracted that he
00:17:04.580
said that didn't happen no that's not what he said what he said is an answer to a very specific
00:17:10.360
question so she handed you a list and he said no i said oh you're giving me a list and i got a piece
00:17:17.420
of paper out and she said no no you misunderstand he said no i don't misunderstand i know exactly what
00:17:23.360
you're saying now a first meeting with a brand new u.s ambassador you as the prosecutor general
00:17:31.120
who you know those people just got the last guy fired you're going to go in and just kick up dirt
00:17:38.080
with this nice sweet lady you're just going to go and say no i don't misunderstand i know exactly what
00:17:45.140
you're saying i i'm used to this getting this from the politicians here but it's it's great now to see
00:17:52.240
that i'm also getting it from the u.s embassy he was calling her and the embassy and the united states
00:17:58.720
of america more corrupt than his country explain that that was the second big thing i had put down
00:18:06.700
and i my my head almost exploded because we have directly debunked this whole thing that entire
00:18:13.740
thing and granted this meeting happened within days of him officially being sworn into that position
00:18:19.600
so this is one of the good guys this is the guy you just signed off on now claiming that he's
00:18:25.240
whoa what are you trying to do to me you're now he's seeing what they did to shoken um i'm going
00:18:29.940
to make this offer to the republicans and i'm going to call them i on my own dime will send jason
00:18:35.760
and the boxes of evidence that we have so you can have him sitting right underneath the desk there
00:18:43.080
nobody will see him and he'll be like hey ask her about this one i mean has no one done their job
00:18:50.660
if they if they don't ask these questions i'm telling you these people should be impeached for
00:18:59.080
incompetence jason just a warning getting under desks in washington not always
00:19:03.560
that um this was it that was so blatant because he asked her it was so leading heels and that was
00:19:10.200
redacted right he redacted that do not prosecute uh claim and she straight up said yes now we've
00:19:15.700
we've traced that you can go back to the special i think we're actually cutting something i just talked
00:19:19.180
to one of our producers now to show you the back and forth on that but that originated a bloomberg
00:19:24.120
article it originated from there it then got copied in every single fact check saying that it was
00:19:28.600
recanted now we traced it all the way back we found the actual interview where they claim to that shows
00:19:33.920
that he recanted and just like you um described he he he didn't recant on it he said she didn't hand
00:19:40.420
me a physical piece of paper she said who i could or could not prosecute and i wrote those names down
00:19:45.960
i turned the paper around and put it in her face and that's when he said this is what we got under
00:19:50.820
the russian controlled uh government now we're getting it from the united states embassy that's
00:19:54.920
their big recant now this jim jordan should be asking that right off the top right off the top right
00:20:00.540
off the top and the other the other that right off the top is he should say excuse me you have a
00:20:09.820
serious serious uh question about your abilities if you tell me that you don't know that there were
00:20:22.100
two people one of which was the head of the anti-corruption bureau that you keep touting as this clean
00:20:30.500
operation that you keep saying is the guardian against corruption you can't tell me that the ambassador
00:20:39.020
of the ukraine did not know that there was a trial and a uh a hidden recording of that guy who run that
00:20:52.700
bureau admitting to being the guy who snuck the information about manafort to hillary clinton and
00:21:01.440
the democrats and he was convicted and so was someone else you you honestly didn't know that
00:21:09.500
come on it was plastered no there's no way jason there's no way it made no way because it was
00:21:16.940
plastered all over ukrainian press we it's not plastered in our press it's nowhere here they think
00:21:22.720
they can get away with it because no one look if the new york times didn't publish it it didn't happen
00:21:27.760
really because there were other papers and there were other institutions that did publish that
00:21:33.880
and all of them ukrainian and yes you do have to take the extra step and have it translated
00:21:40.120
we had to have it translated ourselves we found it on the front page of the ukrainian papers
00:21:48.240
but we had to have it all translated because no one in the u.s had done that how is that possible
00:21:56.600
and how is it possible for this woman to say that well i know i've heard rumors of that but nothing
00:22:03.280
no facts no nothing nothing tangible really because ukraine convicted the guy you keep touting as running
00:22:13.400
the great anti-corruption league they convicted him just those two things it's done just those two
00:22:24.540
things and you can subpoena most of that information like for the do not prosecute list
00:22:29.360
you we know for a fact that lutsenko claimed that there was multiple u.s state department people in
00:22:34.060
the room there was multiple ukrainian prosecutors and assistants in the room you can subpoena them all
00:22:39.500
have the people come over from ukraine have the u.s diplomats they're not like every i don't think
00:22:44.020
every single u.s diplomat is going to be in agreement with what yovanovich is is saying no but you know
00:22:49.040
what here's the thing here's the thing if you are asking me to believe that this person didn't mean
00:22:59.160
didn't mean this okay didn't mean to to give you a quid pro quo okay if you're asking me to to to believe
00:23:08.880
her when she says i didn't give him any list well i've got one hurdle the guy who was the first time
00:23:17.780
meeting the new ambassador first time and these are the people that just got his boss removed
00:23:26.220
he goes in and he just flies off the handle and says no i'm used to this i'm used to this
00:23:34.560
you know we used to get the cram downs all the time but i didn't expect it from america
00:23:39.540
really he said that and and your response was no you misunderstand and he says no i didn't
00:23:48.480
misunderstand and then after when asked about it again later to make sure it was all clear in the
00:23:56.780
press he said no she didn't give me a list she verbally gave me that list and i wrote it down
00:24:03.880
if you're asking me to believe her i'm having a hard time because of all of the other evidence
00:24:12.100
but if i'm forced to believe that wait how come i have to believe the opposite of donald trump
00:24:24.140
