On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by former Vice President Joe Biden's lawyer to discuss the latest in the Hunter Biden scandal, the FBI investigation into the Joe Biden shooting of his wife, Jill Biden, and the ongoing investigation into whether or not she was involved in the murder of her own husband, Joe Biden. Glenn also talks about how we went from a country that was willing to take risks and take risks, to one that is now afraid of taking risks.
00:00:00.000I think the biggest story, uh, is it too much a stretch to say it's maybe top ten's biggest stories, uh, in our lifetime? Political stories, probably top five?
00:00:15.320I mean, uh, it depends on how it turns out, obviously. We don't have all the information we need, but we have more than I ever thought we'd get.
00:00:22.100Yeah, but it depends on how it turns out. If nothing happens, then America is doomed to just absolute corruption and rot.
00:00:31.420If something happens, it means the president could be removed from office legitimately for something that nobody should be able to argue against.
00:00:40.900Taking money from an enemy state, that's kind of a big deal.
00:00:44.900Yeah. We're talking about the, um, the Hunter Biden, uh, testimony that was released yesterday, and, uh, it shows, I mean, not only the smoking gun, but the body, you know, the handwritten plan.
00:01:00.400I'm gonna kill him and shoot him in the head, and you'll find the gun here, and I really did it, it's not a fake.
00:01:08.280In fact, here's a picture of me doing it. That's the kind of evidence they have now on Hunter and Joe Biden.
00:01:16.820This isn't about Hunter Biden. This is about Joe Biden.
00:01:21.200Uh, we talk about that and so much more on today's podcast.
00:01:24.420By the way, on Saturday, Bridget Phetasy is on my one-on-one podcast, and on Sunday, a new pilot podcast on history.
00:01:34.420Putting things into perspective, how did we get here? An honest history, an honest look at experts.
00:01:42.820How did we go from a country that would take risks?
00:01:47.780I'm gonna build a submarine and go down to the bottom of the ocean and look at the Titanic.
00:01:52.660All right, dude, I don't think that sounds like a good idea, especially with the PlayStation controller as, you know, your steering wheel, but whatever.
00:02:00.120How did we go from a country that would allow that and would look at the Amelia Earhart's and say, that's great, to a country saying, I don't know, the country should, the government should protect.
00:02:13.800The government should have laws to stop these people from taking those risks.
00:04:48.140But Lion's Share finished in November, early December, but then it has to go into a period of rewrites and keeping up with the time, making sure we do all of the little additions on what has happened.
00:05:03.460So, you know, you're seven months away from it, and I've been reading it all this week, and it is so powerful.
00:05:14.300And I can't believe the timing of some of the books that we write when they come out.
00:05:21.740It is, I was concerned that so much has happened, but it now, I'm glad that some of this stuff has happened, because you will understand it.
00:05:36.800So, anyway, so I've been doing that this week to have it ready for you.
00:05:41.800And I want you to know, just to prove to you that I'm not saying this for money, I make more money on the audio book, and I'd love you to get the audio book.
00:05:53.420I've worked hard on it, and it's very funny and has a lot of ad lib in it that the book doesn't have.
00:05:59.520But buy the paperback or the hardback when it comes out.
00:06:03.860You have to have a paper version of this, and I urge you to use the footnotes.
00:13:34.200And until you get the other half to care, nothing's going to happen.
00:13:38.140But if ABC, NBC, boy, that would be horrible if people started protesting the mouse house because ABC only moves when anybody threatens the mouse house, the actual park.
00:13:51.720You're saying I'm going to picket your park.
00:14:02.020So I'd hate to see somebody organize a really lasting long term and smart picketing of those parks to get ABC to actually start to tell the truth.
00:14:15.680The fact that they just that this isn't the lead and nonstop story of the year.
00:14:27.420Yeah, because it's not only this message.
00:14:33.960The reason we're seeing this message today is because the whistleblower said they had these messages and they were blocked from trying to investigate them.
00:15:48.880Does that go on to say what he what the conclusions that that they drew from that meeting?
00:15:54.180OK, so that that goes on even further in the testimony.
00:15:57.780And the person, whoever's asking the asking the whistleblower question says, was it your impression that all of this was orchestrated between Joe and Hunter for this entire for him to show up at that time to make that presence to influence this meeting?
00:16:12.520Was it your impression that this was orchestrated?
00:16:44.400And we now have the FBI stating it and we have the FBI and we have the IRS stating it.
00:16:51.280All of the agents that were involved in the actual work.
00:16:55.400And at the IRS, the guy who is in charge of the agents who are doing the work.
00:17:00.660Can I point out also is that we've been kind of critical on the FBI, as we should, I think, in a lot of things.
00:17:04.660But this was very remarkable in this testimony because the rank and file FBI agents were just as pissed off as this whistleblower was in the testimony.
00:17:14.180It's clear that something was happening at the higher level.
00:17:16.680But the rank and file FBI agents were like, let us investigate.
00:17:25.040I mean, I got to tell you, any of these guys lose their job and you are really coming out and blowing the whistle and you have the hard facts.
00:17:32.560I think this audience would raise millions of dollars to make sure your family was taken care of.
00:29:35.960And so he talked about some of the things that he was pushing and promoting in Tennessee and some won and some didn't.
00:29:41.740And one of them was the FCC standards.
00:29:43.920And when he told me this, he's like, he's like, Kimberly, it just, I observed that they have all these restrictions for children to be, to have access to obscene material on the TV and on the radio, but we're shoving it in the classroom and in the books.
00:29:59.000And he said, you know, if you can't show it on TV and you can't air on the radio, you shouldn't have it in the classroom.
00:30:03.940I had literally about leaped off my seat and I was like, oh my gosh, this is a winning argument.
00:30:25.760And so we did, and I went and I met with the legislatures and I was like, okay, who has the obscenity bills?
00:30:32.900Because right now, every state across the country, all these representatives are wanting to pass parental rights, school choice, and obscenity bills.
00:30:41.000And some of them are awful and some of them are good.
00:30:43.640And so I said, let's sit down and let's look and see what we have.
00:30:46.020So Jared Patterson had most of the obscenity bills.
00:30:48.800And I said, well, let's look and see and find the best one.
00:30:51.500And it was HB 900, which he labeled a Reader Act.
00:30:54.860And it fits the FCC standards the most.
00:30:58.660If you cannot have it on the radio or the TV, then it shouldn't be in the library, it shouldn't be in the books, and it shouldn't be in the curriculum.
00:31:06.220So it holds those curriculum developers to a standard that the state school board reviews, and it holds the classroom materials to those same standards.
00:31:14.960The Tennessee bill is actually my favorite that I want to be able to resurrect in Tennessee.
00:31:26.920It passed the House with 10 Democrats signing on that went through the Senate, thanks to Angela Paxton and a couple other amazing senators, state senators there.
00:31:37.160And then the governor signed it on June 12th.
00:31:48.120What you're doing is saying we have to normalize the standards, the standardization of what is appropriate in public settings and with public support.
00:32:03.780The reason why I'm held to these FCC standards is because the government laid claim to the airwaves.
00:32:13.820And so we are issued, radio stations are issued a frequency, and then you've got to build everything to broadcast on that frequency.
00:32:21.640But the government owns all the frequencies.
00:32:39.800How can the public standards be higher on radio, especially radio like this, that is geared towards adults and lower for the things that are in our curriculum for our kids?
00:32:59.600And there was definitely some serious obstruction and pushback.
00:33:04.400But it passed because it's common sense.
00:33:06.660The bill, an equivalent bill, has already gone through both houses in Louisiana, and it's on the governor's desk pending signature.
00:33:14.220We have eight different states that we have introduced this to, including Idaho, Ohio, and several others.
00:33:19.260And we are actively engaged in getting this passed in all 50 states.
00:33:23.660And, Glenn, they're making our case for us because we have moms who are going into these school board meetings, and they're reading what their children are being exposed to.
00:33:35.260Some of them, they're being escorted out of the school board meeting.
00:33:38.200And a couple of the moms actually got escorted out in handcuffs because they refused to stop reading what their children are being exposed to, trying to get attention.
00:34:10.380Yeah, that's why HBO can run, you know, porn at night or whatever they want to run.
00:34:15.720That's why you don't have, that's why the standards on NBC are higher on language and situations than they are on, you know, USA, because it's a cable network, not a broadcast cable does not involve airwaves.
00:34:34.140So you can do whatever you want on cable.
00:34:36.720I love this because now we can go back with even greater.
00:34:57.860And in Texas, which is a really important state.
00:35:00.240And now we can take this across the country and say it's already been passed.
00:35:03.740It's already tested, been tested and tried and true.
00:35:07.660So let's take this everywhere and give moms something where you can actually have a tangible tool to protect our kids in the classroom and in their schools.
00:35:36.640It was the best one because it not just protected our children from the books and the curriculum, but it also protected them from digital learning, which is everything is kind of going to digital learning.
00:35:46.420And I don't know if you remember, but a few years ago, it was about 10 years ago, they started the stay-at-school books.
00:35:52.660And they had this great argument, well, they're not coming back and they're costly.
00:35:56.500That's not why they were saying don't take them home.
00:35:58.700They didn't want parents to see what they had.
00:36:00.920Well, in 2020, parents saw everything that they were being exposed to.
00:36:05.360And a lot of this curriculum is being pushed in that way to hide it and protect it.
00:36:09.400And they're saying that the school board members can't even see it and review it because it's trademarked and it's proprietary information.
00:36:42.480But the third thing that it protects our children from is adults.
00:36:46.800If there is an adult in authority over the child, then it protects them from that, too.
00:36:51.680That's what makes the Tennessee bill so strong.
00:36:53.420Because they're bringing in these consultants from outside who are, a lot of times, from Planned Parenthood and other organizations like that, who are teaching these things to kids.
00:37:10.900They don't even know their identity now.
00:37:12.820They have whole entire curriculums on gender identity using the gender-bred person, which has now evolved to the gender unicorn because the gender-bred person was too manly.
00:37:37.520We have a lot of listeners in Tennessee.
00:37:38.840And I'm sure our friends, you know, Ben Shapiro and others will help on that as well.
00:37:44.580Now, the difference here in Texas is it doesn't apply to digital books?
00:37:55.940It doesn't apply to digital learning and it doesn't apply to adult oversight.
00:38:01.660So any adults that are – so a teacher, and we're specifically – we're not saying teachers because then all the teachers think, oh, my gosh, they're coming after me.
00:38:10.440We are saying that anyone who has an educational field, industry, if you will, has access to children in the curriculum, in the classroom, in the school, that they also have to follow that FCC standard because teachers are teaching this.
00:39:41.600We have, obviously, the ACLU is constantly attacking anything that anybody does that makes common sense.
00:39:48.300One of the things that was considered when we were looking at the various different bills is which one is the one that has the best opportunity to pass, which is the start.
00:40:16.220There are people who are so excited about this and they love the Tennessee bill and a lot of them do because it tackles that.
00:40:22.820What's great about Texas is that we already have something that has passed, which means that all the legislators in the other states can look at that and say, oh, this one passed.
00:40:32.260It went through all the legal, you know, checks and marks and everything to make sure that we have something.
