00:00:30.000 Here's today's podcast.
00:00:33.020 It was a pretty wild ride.
00:00:35.220 I mean, it's a Friday, so...
00:00:37.000 But we had Hunter Biden's lawyer call in because he just pleaded guilty.
00:00:45.780 And first he said, I want to plead guilty without actually saying I'm guilty.
00:00:50.200 And the judge said, well, you can't really do that.
00:00:53.520 Okay, then I'm guilty.
00:00:54.680 I did it all.
00:00:55.380 And the judge, wait.
00:00:57.360 Wait, after all of this, now you're admitting that all of this is true?
00:01:01.720 Yeah.
00:01:02.260 Do you know what that means?
00:01:03.720 Do you know how many years you're going to spend in prison?
00:01:06.920 Yeah, but I'm really sorry.
00:01:09.220 Uh-huh.
00:01:10.020 We go into that, the first thing in the podcast, and so much more.
00:01:14.060 On the Friday podcast, here it is.
00:01:15.520 Let me tell you about the Burna Launcher.
00:01:18.860 You know what's going on in Aurora, Colorado.
00:01:21.120 Do we happen to have that video?
00:01:23.000 I have to play this video for you.
00:01:24.720 There's video of going through, you know, the apartment complex.
00:01:29.340 It's been destroyed.
00:01:30.920 Illegal immigrant gangs have literally taken over several apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado.
00:01:37.000 And it's not going to stop there.
00:01:39.500 We don't know how many millions of illegals are in this country right now, let alone how many more are going to get through before we finally seal the border.
00:01:47.420 And if she wins, they're not going to.
00:01:50.020 Being armed is your right as an American citizen, and nobody is more pro-Second Amendment than I am.
00:01:57.000 But there are times when it's appropriate to protect yourself and your family with non-lethal means.
00:02:03.100 That's where the Burna Launcher comes in.
00:02:04.740 Can you imagine what's going to happen to people who defend themselves if this crew gets in?
00:02:09.800 It's a great complement to your firearms.
00:02:12.040 There are a few situations, quite a few actually, where less lethal is the way to go.
00:02:16.180 And Burna is the best alternative to deadly force.
00:02:19.100 The Burna Launcher has powerful deterrents like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a 60-foot range.
00:02:24.260 And one shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

00:02:48.640 You're listening to...
00:02:50.860 The best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:53.540 All right.
00:02:54.020 Well, tell him to wait for a minute.
00:03:01.900 I have somebody from...
00:03:05.340 We'll get to it in a second.
00:03:06.820 First, let me tell you that Hunter Biden's trial in California ended before it started yesterday.
00:03:12.500 Because he was charged with nine tax charges.
00:03:18.380 And he was facing, you know, a long, long time in prison.
00:03:22.820 And he decided, you know what, let's just cut to the chase.
00:03:25.440 I did it, your honor.
00:03:28.220 I did it.
00:03:29.280 And he said, you know, after, you know, after the last five years where I've really sobered up, I realized that I have to make amends.
00:03:39.400 And so I'm just going to...
00:03:41.340 I'm just going to tell you that I did it.
00:03:43.380 And the judge said, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:03:47.200 So you're agreeing that you committed every element of every crime?
00:03:51.840 Yes.
00:03:52.360 Yes, your honor, you did.
00:03:53.540 I did.
00:03:54.060 I do.
00:03:54.640 Because I really feel I've learned my lesson and I should pay for my crimes.
00:04:00.340 Mm-hmm.
00:04:01.320 Mm-hmm.
00:04:02.480 So after five years of denying all of this, putting us through this horrendous ordeal,
00:04:11.140 the first son comes out yesterday and says, yeah, yeah, I did it.
00:04:16.800 What?
00:04:19.800 Hang on.
00:04:21.280 What's his name?
00:04:23.600 Who is this?
00:04:25.180 Who is this?
00:04:27.240 Hello?
00:04:29.060 Hi.
00:04:29.660 Hello?
00:04:30.860 Yes, hello.
00:04:32.740 Yes.
00:04:33.080 Yes, Alan Newman.
00:04:34.620 Alan Newman.
00:04:35.620 Hi, Alan.
00:04:36.220 Yes, I'm one of Hunter Biden's attorneys.
00:04:38.060 I heard you talking about the story and wanted to...
00:04:40.220 Yes.
00:04:41.140 ...to contribute to the conversation.
00:04:43.400 Okay.
00:04:43.920 Make sure that you got the facts accurately.
00:04:45.820 You seem to be skeptical about what went on yesterday.
00:04:50.540 Well, it seems kind of odd that, you know, he spent five years saying that he's...
00:04:56.000 He didn't do any of these things.
00:04:57.980 Right.
00:04:58.380 And then he goes to trial and he says, all right, all right, I did it.
00:05:04.620 Yes.
00:05:05.340 Guilty.
00:05:05.420 Yes, he, well, he's guilty of these crimes and he wants to take responsibility.
00:05:13.140 He what?
00:05:14.140 Hello?
00:05:16.000 He wants to take responsibility for his actions.
00:05:20.860 Are you okay?
00:05:22.240 Well, Hunter Biden has spent his entire adult years trying to make good for the things that
00:05:30.860 he did.
00:05:31.940 And he's now in the time of his life, a season where he's able to do that.
00:05:37.660 And we just think it's a wonderful thing.
00:05:39.160 Oh, wait a minute.
00:05:46.820 Hold on just a second.
00:05:47.920 What are you laughing about?
00:05:49.460 I mean...
00:05:50.820 Look, it's...
00:05:51.420 We wanted to make sure the legal system was treated with the respect that they deserve.
00:06:02.020 Are you all right?
00:06:05.700 You're all right.
00:06:06.360 The American people deserve the truth.
00:06:07.880 So, this is all on the up and up.
00:06:22.200 He feels really, really bad.
00:06:25.480 Hunter has had a...
00:06:26.720 Hunter Biden is a loving problem.
00:06:35.600 I don't know.
00:06:37.880 Hang on just a second.
00:06:46.160 I'm talking to Hunter Biden's attorney.
00:06:48.360 In case you haven't heard, he suddenly decided that he was guilty on all charges.
00:06:53.660 This doesn't have anything to do with him just counting on his dad or Kamala to pardon him,
00:07:01.820 does it?
00:07:03.100 Oh.
00:07:03.660 Absolutely not, Glenn.
00:07:08.560 We've never even considered...
00:07:09.840 All right.
00:07:14.540 All right.
00:07:15.320 We thank Hunter Biden's attorney for joining us on today's program.
00:07:22.960 No, no, no.
00:07:23.400 I mean, I don't think that's a...
00:07:24.840 I don't think that's a problem.
00:07:27.220 Hang up the phone.
00:07:28.260 All right.
00:07:35.240 So, we've wasted all of this money, all of this time.
00:07:41.940 How many times do they have to really honestly lie to you?
00:07:47.580 How many times do they have to lie to you?
00:07:50.480 He didn't do any of those tax crimes.
00:07:53.840 He was absolutely innocent.
00:07:55.460 The laptop wasn't real.
00:07:57.860 He wasn't working for the Chinese. 0.62
00:08:00.900 Oh, dad had no idea.
00:08:03.120 Nobody in the family was enriching themselves.
00:08:05.420 How many times does this administration, does Kamala Harris and the Democrats and the media, 0.99
00:08:13.180 how many times do they need to lie to America, look them dead in the eye, and lie to them before they wake up?
00:08:24.680 How many millions of dollars have we wasted?
00:08:27.420 How much airtime has been wasted?
00:08:30.080 How many families have been driven apart because of these lies?
00:08:36.560 And now, spit in your face?
00:08:41.920 Oh, yeah, I did them.
00:08:43.480 Second spit in your face? 1.00
00:08:45.600 And I'm not going to pay for it.
00:08:47.840 I'm going to get away with it.
00:08:49.940 Yeah, yeah, I'm going to...
00:08:50.840 I'm going to go to prison for a very long time.
00:08:59.480 It's not just the lies.
00:09:00.880 It's the fact that they just think, you're this stupid.
00:09:08.820 You would never allow a friend to do this to you.
00:09:13.640 You would certainly never let a guardian do this to you.
00:09:17.740 You would never let an employee do this to you.
00:09:21.860 Why do you allow this to continue to happen?
00:09:25.320 Why, America?
00:09:26.540 Why?
00:09:26.920 Do you know what they're doing right now?
00:09:33.500 They're Trump-proofing the DOJ.
00:09:37.460 This is a story from John Solomon and Just the News.
00:09:43.020 They're hiring, using a hiring authority that is outside of the normal competitive process for hiring career officials.
00:09:50.500 Normally, to be hired as a career civil service job, you have to list it in usajobs.gov.
00:09:58.620 Then they have several candidates.
00:10:00.580 They go through them.
00:10:01.540 They go through a competitive process to choose these people.
00:10:05.180 And then the DOJ hires from that.
00:10:08.320 But the DOJ is using a process outside of that, the non-competitive process.
00:10:14.520 And they're hiring hundreds of attorneys into areas that are going to be vital to protecting the Biden-Harris administration policies from a Trump administration or another future administration.
00:10:26.480 So what they've done is they've taken everything that they wanted and they are codifying it now by putting attorneys all around it that Trump cannot fire.
00:10:38.160 I've got to tell you, if Trump gets in, I really want him to utter these words.
00:10:45.540 And just for me, it may not make a difference to anybody else, but just for me, I really want him to say,
00:10:51.780 I've dealt in real estate my entire life, so I'm pretty good at speculating housing prices and what's going to be of value and what's not.
00:11:02.240 You know that $5 million house that you have in the Washington area?
00:11:08.720 It's going to be worth dog crap very soon because I am firing so many people.
00:11:16.880 Housing is going to be plentiful in the tri-state area.
00:11:24.000 Jeez.
00:11:24.600 He is going to have to fire so many people.
00:11:30.860 And they're going to fight.
00:11:32.940 And they're going to say, oh, this is my favorite word, draconian.
00:11:36.600 I love that word because I use it every day.
00:11:39.040 Don't you use draconian, Stu, almost every day in your regular life?
00:11:43.760 Absolutely, Glenn.
00:11:45.000 Make sure I use it five, ten times a day.
00:11:47.860 Yeah.
00:11:48.220 It's draconian.
00:11:50.040 It's draconian.
00:11:51.200 You mean like Dracula?
00:11:54.600 They're already sucking the blood out of our neck.
00:11:57.560 What are you talking about?
00:11:59.320 Anyway, so we have that to look forward to.
00:12:03.900 By the way, a top Department of Justice spokesperson in New York was caught on a hidden camera ripping Alvin Bragg,
00:12:15.000 the Manhattan District attorney, you know, the one that went after Donald Trump.
00:12:18.660 Now, this is the chief spokesperson for the southern part of New York.
00:12:27.220 This is New York City.
00:12:30.540 Chief spokesperson for the Justice Department in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office.
00:12:35.800 Okay?
00:12:35.960 He was, you know, trying to, I don't know, romance a woman and impress a woman, he says.
00:12:44.560 And he said, I got to tell you, this case that Bragg brought up, it's nonsense.
00:12:51.680 It's nonsense.
00:12:53.280 He said he'd known Bragg for 15 years, previously worked with him, described the unprecedented hush money case against Trump as a perversion of justice.
00:13:05.740 Listen to a bit of this tape from Stephen Crowder's people.
00:13:13.800 I don't have the cuts in front of me.
00:13:15.620 Just play the cuts of the district attorney or the spokesperson.
00:13:27.980 I think they're a little mystified as to which clips you're looking for here, Glenn.
00:13:31.600 I know, I'm sorry, we have a disconnect between the meetings sometimes and the show.
00:13:36.340 Sorry about that.
00:13:37.300 Okay, so, he goes on and he says, you know, this case is nonsense.
00:13:43.100 This is a perversion of justice.
00:13:45.420 Then he goes on to say, you know, he just wants to be something.
00:13:48.260 I don't know, a mayor?
00:13:49.440 I'm not sure what he wants to be.
00:13:51.440 But I know he's just not happy being the DA of New York County.
00:13:55.160 Before he decided to prosecute Trump, did you know who he was?
00:13:59.380 Well, you do now.
00:14:01.600 So, he said, wait a minute, hang on, hang on just a second.
00:14:07.660 Do we have his attorney on the phone?
00:14:11.300 We have his attorney on the phone.
00:14:13.760 Because what he said was he didn't, he was just trying to impress a girl.
00:14:20.360 And it was not, it was nothing that, hello?
00:14:26.560 Who is this?
00:14:28.340 Michael and Alan Newman.
00:14:29.380 Alan, Alan, you're back.
00:14:33.140 Yes, our client was, as you mentioned, just trying to impress a girl.
00:14:40.240 And that's all.
00:14:44.320 So, when he said it's a perversion of justice.
00:14:47.200 Perversion of justice.
00:14:47.880 He didn't.
00:14:48.340 I came up with that one, yeah.
00:14:49.500 He didn't mean that.
00:14:54.920 He was just trying to impress a girl.
00:14:56.720 He was just, well, he meant it, but, well, he did, well, he was trying to impress, and
00:15:03.200 we've all said things to the ladies.
00:15:05.920 Well, we've never.
00:15:07.020 No, no, we've never.
00:15:08.440 Every once in a while, we've all stepped down that road.
00:15:12.380 No.
00:15:13.340 He said, at the federal level where I work, there's a 90-day rule where you can't make
00:15:18.600 any decisions on cases that are going to affect an election within 90 days of the election.
00:15:22.380 But the rule doesn't apply at the state level, because the state level, it's like the effing
00:15:27.400 Wild West.
00:15:28.500 They're like idiots.
00:15:29.700 They don't care.
00:15:30.600 They're all political.
00:15:32.340 To put it mildly, it's a mockery of justice.
00:15:36.060 This whole thing is disgusting.
00:15:37.940 They're just out to get Trump.
00:15:40.980 Go ahead.
00:15:43.520 It's travesty.
00:15:45.700 It's a travesty.
00:15:46.740 It's a sham.
00:15:47.660 Yeah.
00:15:48.840 It's a mockery.
00:15:49.900 It's a travesty.
00:15:52.140 It's a travesty.
00:15:52.160 It's a travesty mockery.
00:15:54.640 Okay.
00:15:56.020 Well, he apparently is back in the good graces of everybody, because he said, I regretfully
00:16:01.360 made some statements in private in a social setting that don't reflect my views about
00:16:06.380 two local and state prosecutions.
00:16:09.060 Right.
00:16:09.680 They don't reflect our views at all.
00:16:12.160 Yeah.
00:16:13.140 All right.
00:16:14.600 Thank you very much, Mr. Newman.
00:16:16.300 Pre-born, I spoke to an 89-year-old woman.
00:16:22.700 Her name is Eva Edel, and she is a woman who's now facing 10 years in prison because she peacefully 0.78
00:16:29.360 protested outside of an abortion clinic.
00:16:32.040 That was here in the United States.
00:16:35.040 Moloch demands blood, and this is the god of the left.
00:16:40.380 It is a blood cult.
00:16:43.680 I don't know if they realize they're worshiping ancient gods or not.
00:16:47.340 I think some do, but I think the majority just go along with it.
00:16:50.480 They have no idea what they're doing.
00:16:52.760 But evil is covering the earth.
00:16:55.940 We must pierce that.
00:16:58.600 Pre-born is the largest pro-life organization in the country, and this may be the last time
00:17:04.120 I can talk to you about them, this period, in the next six months, because if the left
00:17:10.960 wins and Kamala is the president, I can guarantee you, at the end of her term, there won't be 0.97
00:17:18.300 any pro-life talk.
00:17:19.500 It won't be allowed.
00:17:22.300 People like this 89-year-old woman who's facing 10 years in prison because she peacefully protested,
00:17:30.020 that's going to be the norm.
00:17:31.740 Please stand with pre-born right now.
00:17:36.060 They provide free ultrasounds for moms, which makes it much more likely that mom is going 0.99
00:17:41.040 to choose life.
00:17:42.100 Then, if she feels alone and doesn't have any way to pay for the baby and care for the baby,
00:17:47.460 they're there for two years.
00:17:50.060 Would you be willing to give $28?
00:17:52.900 Just $28.
00:17:54.020 That'll provide one ultrasound. 0.99
00:17:55.900 You could save one baby every month.
00:17:58.440 You just give them $28 a month.
00:18:00.080 You give anything you can, a dollar, a widow's mite, dial pound 250, say the keyword baby,

00:18:15.040 Now back to the podcast.
00:18:17.780 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:18:20.340 All righty, all right.
00:18:26.960 Now, you know, the first half hour of this broadcast, I might have been a little sarcastic about how
00:18:33.360 much I admire the honesty of the Biden crew, but I wasn't being serious.
00:18:43.200 I don't admire that at all, and I don't know if people picked up on that at all.
00:18:49.200 But let me tell you a couple of other things that, you know, they've lied about.
00:18:55.340 You know that Inflation Reduction Act?
00:18:58.220 The Inflation Reduction Act, which we told you was the Green New Deal, and they said,
00:19:02.940 how dare you, you conspiracy?
00:19:04.900 You're a danger.
00:19:06.480 You've got to be put in little prison.
00:19:09.660 Little prison, not real prison, but speech prison.
00:19:13.880 Oh, wait, you're a Republican.
00:19:15.320 No, prison prison, the darkest prison we can find for you.
00:19:20.160 And so it was all about inflation.
00:19:22.940 Well, here's Joe Biden about what it was really all about.
00:19:27.880 Cut one.
00:19:28.140 My investments, that through my investments, the most significant climate change law ever.
00:19:35.280 And by the way, it is a $369 billion bill.
00:19:39.300 It's called the, we should have named it what it was, but at any rate.
00:19:47.080 Oh, I don't even think he knows where he is, but I'm glad he has his fingers on the nuclear buttons.
00:19:53.860 I think everybody feels a little better knowing that this morning.
00:19:56.620 Again, that is called sarcasm.
00:20:00.540 So Biden now has just admitted that, yeah, it had nothing to do with inflation.
00:20:07.100 It was the biggest Green Act ever.
00:20:10.920 Oh, okay, okay, all right.
00:20:13.720 Yeah, you probably should have named it what it was, but here's why you didn't.
00:20:17.940 Because you know the American people would have been against that.
00:20:20.900 So you lied about what it was, and then you lied by naming it because you knew you couldn't win.
00:20:29.200 America, when do you say that enough is enough?
00:20:31.660 When do you say it?
00:20:33.600 Here's another one.
00:20:34.900 I don't know if you have noticed the joy that is attracting so many Democrats to Kamala Harris' rallies.
00:20:44.840 It's just J, capital J-O-Y, joy, joy, joy.
00:20:51.660 In fact, they're so joyous that they can't seem to drive themselves to any of the rallies.
00:20:56.760 Here's local news from CBS Boston showing how joyful all these people are that go to our rallies that they have to be bused in.
00:21:07.460 Well, behind me, hundreds of invited Harris supporters are leaving and boarding shuttle buses.
00:21:13.980 This was a departure for Kamala Harris.
00:21:17.580 Huh.
00:21:18.580 They're leaving and getting on to buses.
00:21:23.820 Huh.
00:21:25.100 See, I don't know of the buses that Donald Trump is using to truck all of his supporters.
00:21:31.900 He's just like, hey, you want to come?
00:21:34.320 Show up?
00:21:35.300 Come.
00:21:35.640 Um, uh, you know.
00:21:39.180 Go ahead, Stu.
00:21:40.060 Go ahead.
00:21:40.320 I mean, shuttle buses, it could be anything, right?
00:21:43.280 I mean, that doesn't prove that they were like all fake people from out of town, right?
00:21:47.660 I mean, I'm serious.
00:21:48.360 Can I be the lawyer here for a second?
00:21:50.140 What's that?
00:21:50.480 Can I call up as the attorney and go, yeah, she's not a shuttle bus. 0.98
00:21:54.620 There are parking issues.
00:21:56.380 No, I mean, you've been to any, you know, a fair, a state fair, a music festival,
00:22:04.540 any big event.
00:22:06.180 There are a lot of times shuttle buses to bring in people, right?
00:22:08.760 Please just do this as the attorney.
00:22:09.960 Just get on to Mr. Newman and just, please, make that case as Mr. Newman, because it's
00:22:14.240 more believable than what I am to say.
00:22:17.080 A lot of times when you have to park, there could be a little bit of parking and you need
00:22:22.240 to have these shuttle buses.
00:22:24.000 Right.
00:22:26.120 Right.
00:22:26.660 Okay.
00:22:27.520 So I think we know where we stand.
00:22:29.560 Hey, here's another one.
00:22:30.720 I don't think the mention of shuttle buses necessarily proves.
00:22:34.380 Have you seen the 21 or 25 buses that were loaded up and came across state lines?
00:22:39.400 I mean, it's not a shuttle, but it's not like, hey, everybody, it's like a Disney shuttle
00:22:47.440 tram.
00:22:48.100 No, it's not.
00:22:49.920 Okay.
00:22:50.520 So another lie, but don't worry.
00:22:53.400 This lie has only affected our children for the rest of their lives.
00:23:01.120 Some of our children can no longer have children.
00:23:04.160 They can no longer have babies.
00:23:05.300 But, you know, as Bill Gates says, you know, when we reduce the population, we'll be able
00:23:10.520 to get the planet under control.
00:23:12.480 So it's not all bad, Malthusians. 1.00
00:23:17.180 But, you know, the lie that they told you is that you could be any gender and men can be
00:23:24.580 women and women can be men.
00:23:26.800 And your problems all go away if you just transition and hop on this party train.
00:23:32.540 Well, here's a detransitioner.
00:23:35.120 Cut three.
00:23:36.320 When I was 19 years old, doctors led me to believe that I was transgender.
00:23:40.960 I was told that hormones and surgeries were my only options.
00:23:45.160 They were wrong.
00:23:46.720 Now I suffer from irreversible changes to my body and mind that I will live with for the
00:23:51.220 rest of my life.
00:23:52.920 Today, Kamala Harris is pushing children into these procedures, limiting their choices later 0.86
00:23:58.320 in life.
00:23:58.800 That's why I'm voting for Donald Trump, because he's committed to protecting children from these
00:24:04.100 rash decisions.
00:24:05.700 Yeah.
00:24:06.380 But don't worry about it.
00:24:07.320 Let's not talk about that.
00:24:08.800 Let's not talk about that.
00:24:11.460 Why have that discussion?
00:24:13.820 Your country is under attack.
00:24:17.140 We are being invaded by Venezuelan gangs. 1.00
00:24:22.940 You know, let me just give you the latest.
00:24:24.420 It's nothing really to worry about, really.
00:24:27.700 But apparently, the Russian gangs are now starting to threaten our oil and gas industry 1.00
00:24:35.720 in Texas.
00:24:37.200 Texas-based oil and gas company issued a memo to employees informing them that police and
00:24:41.600 FBI have warned that armed Cuban and Venezuela migrant gangs are committing thefts in this one
00:24:50.320 area in Texas, the highest producing oil field.
00:24:52.400 Industry peers and law enforcement, this is the memo, in West Texas, are aware of recent
00:24:58.000 increase of organized criminal activity, inclusive of violent crimes, gang activity, and oil field
00:25:04.120 thefts in and around West Texas operational areas.
00:25:07.800 Specifically, regional law enforcement and the FBI has advised that gang members emanating
00:25:12.800 from Cuba and Venezuela are organizing and working in concert to commit thefts within this basin. 0.92
00:25:19.740 These individuals and groups are armed, violent in nature, and will not hesitate to use force.
00:25:26.120 Oh, okay.
00:25:27.720 Well, that's just happening.
00:25:29.060 Why?
00:25:29.700 Because of the open border policy that Kamala Harris has been for for decades. 0.53
00:25:37.120 But now a spokesperson, who is lying to you, says, oh, no, she's not for that anymore.
00:25:44.900 And then she comes out when asked, uh, you're not for that anymore?
00:25:49.780 My values have not changed.
00:25:52.800 Oh, okay.
00:25:55.100 And are you dumb enough to buy that?
00:26:00.000 Sorry, I don't mean to yell at you.
00:26:01.540 I just have to yell it.
00:26:04.020 You know, I am, honestly, I think this is the sign of insanity.
00:26:07.600 I'm sitting in a room by myself yelling.
00:26:10.700 So, I mean.
00:26:12.840 Glenn, you keep bringing up these supposed flip-flops.
00:26:17.220 But, I mean, there's been some changes in positions, you know?
00:26:20.760 Yes.
00:26:20.980 I mean, she was for banning plastic straws. 1.00
00:26:23.700 Yes, she was for that.
00:26:24.880 And she's no longer for it.
00:26:26.680 And she was for an EV mandate for automakers. 0.75
00:26:29.520 And she's no longer for that.
00:26:31.920 And she was for banning fracking.
00:26:34.880 And, I mean, she's no longer for that.
00:26:37.420 Well, there was also the mandatory buyback program for assault weapons.
00:26:41.580 But she's not for that anymore.
00:26:44.560 Just like she's also not for decriminalizing crossing the border, which she was for previously. 0.82
00:26:49.420 Previously, but now is not.
00:26:51.780 Similar to the reparations for slavery.
00:26:53.740 That one we just don't know.
00:26:54.760 She just won't even address it.
00:26:56.600 I believe the quote was.
00:26:57.660 But she's probably not for it.
00:26:59.200 My favorite quote of this entire, maybe of this entire campaign was,
00:27:02.960 She will not comment on her current position.
00:27:06.320 When has that been a thing?
00:27:07.720 What do you mean you won't comment on your current position?
00:27:10.380 You're running for president of the United States.
00:27:12.420 Can you imagine going in for a job interview and they say, you're going for the work of the auto industry.
00:27:22.300 So you have been anti-Ford.
00:27:27.120 I mean, you have led campaigns against Ford.
00:27:31.680 But you, you now are for Ford and you want to come to work for us and you think you'll be a positive influence.
00:27:41.120 I can't comment on that right now.
00:27:43.420 And then the person that's with you in the hallway just opens up the door a little bit and goes, she's, she's not for that stuff anymore and closes the door.
00:27:51.840 Wait, wait, he just said, who is that?
00:27:57.080 That's a spokesperson of mine.
00:27:58.760 Okay.
00:27:59.120 Well, he just said that he's not, you know, that you're not for, uh, you know, shutting Ford down anymore and you'd make a good employee.
00:28:07.180 Can you comment on that?
00:28:08.480 No, I really can't.
00:28:09.540 I can't.
00:28:10.020 I can't make any comment on my current position.
00:28:12.640 No, I couldn't.
00:28:13.400 You'd never hire that person.
00:28:15.860 You'd never hire that person.
00:28:18.820 Oh, geez.
00:28:19.460 Somebody on the phone again.
00:28:20.360 Hello.
00:28:20.780 Hi, Glenn Allen Newman.
00:28:22.180 Uh, listen, I was listening to your commentary on, uh, Kamala Harris, and I just want you to know that she no longer supports the Green New Deal. 0.91
00:28:31.340 Okay.
00:28:32.640 All right.
00:28:33.580 She wants to build a party wall. 1.00
00:28:38.280 Okay.
00:28:40.540 Oh.
00:28:42.480 It's Friday, America.
00:28:44.120 Welcome.
00:28:45.120 You gotta laugh.
00:28:46.380 Otherwise, you're going to weep openly in the streets.
00:28:49.180 This is the best of the Glenn Beck podcast.
00:28:54.080 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:28:57.280 Um, Mario Knopfal is, uh, well, he is the biggest, the largest host on X spaces.
00:29:04.440 Uh, and I've been on his, uh, space several times here recently.
00:29:09.100 And I have to tell you, it is, it seems to me to be the future.
00:29:14.040 Um, it is, uh, global and therefore you can have people coming in from all over the globe to chime in.
00:29:22.360 Um, and it is the really realization of what, uh, the internet promised that we could all connect with one another somehow or another.
00:29:33.280 And I think it's, I think it's doing that now.
00:29:36.920 Um, and it's unlike a podcast, which is recorded.
00:29:40.560 This is live and people can chime in.
00:29:43.640 It's, it's fascinating, uh, to listen to.
00:29:47.560 Uh, Mario is, uh, joining us now.
00:29:50.180 Um, and we want to talk a little bit about the fight between X and Brazil as a part of this, uh, global battle for free speech.
00:29:58.060 Mario, how are you?
00:30:00.440 Glenn, pleasure to be here.
00:30:01.940 Yeah, thank you.
00:30:03.960 Uh, so are you in Brazil?
00:30:06.500 I know their independence day is tomorrow.
00:30:08.840 Uh, Michael Schellenberger went down for it.
00:30:11.840 Uh, and, uh, uh, he got through the airport, so he hasn't been arrested yet.
00:30:18.060 But I know that you're under investigation in Brazil as well.
00:30:22.940 There is no way I'll be stepping foot in that country.
00:30:25.940 One of a few now, despite it being an incredibly beautiful country,
00:30:30.140 despite it being the third biggest democracy in the world.
00:30:33.860 Um, you know, I was, I was invited by a president of a, of a neighboring country just a couple of weeks ago.
00:30:39.440 Uh, and I decided not to go either.
00:30:42.260 After what we, what we saw in France with Pavel.
00:30:44.700 Again, we're talking about France, not, not China, not Russia, not North Korea.
00:30:48.800 Um, and his arrest when he was allegedly going to meet the, the president there.
00:30:52.200 Uh, I would unfortunately not be going to Brazil, but we are working with various journalists in the country to cover the, uh, the rally tomorrow.
00:30:58.880 We're doing a space, a large show on Sunday, and with a few politicians and voices from that country.
00:31:04.900 Despite, despite the ban, you know, I've had President Bolsonaro on and our space was blocked.
00:31:09.920 His Wi-Fi was blocked.
00:31:11.580 We're going to do it again on Sunday with a few leaders from, from the West and from Brazil.
00:31:15.980 So, Mario, did you find it interesting that, um, Bolsonaro was supposed to be, you know, the dictator and, uh, then the system, uh, kind of came into play through court, uh, and just a really, I mean, the Darth Vader judges even looks like Darth Vader.
00:31:34.660 Uh, and, and Lula, who is a communist, it is, it's amazing to me how they claimed that Bolsonaro was going to be the dictator.
00:31:45.980 Uh, and so we had to go to save democracy.
00:31:48.280 And then now we have pretty much dictatorial rule in, in Brazil.
00:31:55.260 It, it always starts this way.
00:31:57.380 You know, we saw that in the U S during the terrorist days of the fear to after, after 9-11, you know, the stranglehold on power always begins with a cause that everyone stands for.
00:32:08.580 So, Bolsonaro, there was a big movement against Bolsonaro in Brazil.
00:32:12.120 And a lot of people on the left, they say, look, Justice Marais, the Supreme Court justice has kind of become the almost dictator of Brazil.
00:32:19.800 They agreed that he's abusing his power, but they said the cause is worth it.
00:32:25.580 Well, it's too important.
00:32:26.140 As soon as you go down that path, exactly.
00:32:28.320 As soon as you go down that path, you've crossed the line.
00:32:31.340 You've broken the system that ensures a democracy.
00:32:34.040 And then it gets out of control.
00:32:35.460 Uh, you know, power corrupts, absolute power corrupts.
00:32:38.540 Absolutely.
00:32:38.900 And we're seeing that right now in Brazil.
00:32:40.320 It's a perfect example.
00:32:41.560 So are you concerned about how this is crossing, uh, international borders that we, apparently our government is involved in advising them on how to get, uh, Elon Musk, that you have Europe trying to do the same thing.
00:32:58.660 I mean, this is almost revealing the new world order, uh, and how they all will cooperate to crush free speech.
00:33:07.840 Look, first, simple answer to your question.
00:33:13.900 Yes.
00:33:14.340 I'm extremely concerned.
00:33:16.200 Again, there's countries I would not dare travel to right now.
00:33:19.400 Now I used to travel the world.
00:33:20.500 I've been traveling for over a decade.
00:33:22.760 Brazil, obviously being one of them, Venezuela being another, you know, uh, Pakistan, these things you'd expect to see in Pakistan. 0.99
00:33:29.680 We had, I had, I was interviewing prime minister Imran Khan and a few, I think two, three weeks after the interview, he was arrested.
00:33:36.280 And, uh, X was banned in the country.
00:33:39.280 I had a lot of people from his party on stage and you wouldn't be, not many people talked about what happened in Pakistan or even Venezuela, which is kind of the, the, the, the, it's not, it's difficult to call it a democracy now.
00:33:50.060 Um, but for, for this to happen in Brazil to that level, what's next?
00:33:55.120 That's the third biggest democracy.
00:33:57.060 Um, you know, how many steps are we before this reaches the world's biggest, the beacon of democracy, the world's biggest democracy, and that's the United States.
00:34:06.340 That's my concern.
00:34:07.200 And in terms of America's involvement, yes, America was involved.
00:34:09.760 We saw the leaks that came out when it came to Pakistan and the U.S. at least gave the okay for the ouster of, of then prime minister Imran Khan.
00:34:18.560 You know, we, the leaked messages, the press didn't cover them.
00:34:21.700 Um, so if there, I know Mike Benz, who's a, who's a common friend between us, he's covered this extensively.
00:34:27.260 Was the U.S. involved?
00:34:28.820 I wouldn't be surprised to what extent, you know, we'll find out over time.
00:34:32.100 Um, my bigger concern is, is what's next because, you know, what's happening in Brazil is being watched by other countries.
00:34:38.780 You know, we saw what happened in the U.K., obviously France, and we're seeing what's happening, the lawfare that's happening in the U.S.
00:34:44.440 So if Morais gets away with it in Brazil, it's a massive country, hundreds of millions, I think 250 million people, if my numbers are correct.
00:34:52.700 If that happens, if that works in Brazil, again, I want to repeat the world's third biggest democracy.
00:34:56.940 Um, and it works.
00:34:59.480 What happens to administrations in the U.S. or other countries that also want that same stranglehold on the country, that stranglehold on free speech?
00:35:07.440 Because they've already got in the media.
00:35:09.560 You know, we've kind of lost the battle for free speech when it comes to mainstream media, and they've lost the trust of the people.
00:35:15.760 So the only thing left is social media.
00:35:17.740 They're already being targeted very heavily.
00:35:19.480 And my concern is, like, what happened to the days of Google, you know, a couple of decades ago, fighting for free speech against China? 0.78
00:35:28.240 You know, and the whole motto of do no evil.
00:35:31.080 Where's Google now?
00:35:32.320 Where's Meta now? 1.00
00:35:33.260 You know, Mark Zuckerberg apologized not long ago for abiding by the censorship requests from the Biden administration.
00:35:39.800 Well, why aren't they rallying?
00:35:41.140 Why are they kowtowing to the Supreme Court in Brazil?
00:35:44.500 Why aren't they rallying in support of Elon?
00:35:46.740 The answer is very simple.
00:35:47.840 They're choosing money over free speech.
00:35:50.380 And it's a shame that Elon and Rumble, which obviously is much smaller, are the only two social media platforms that are standing up to centralization of power and our basic right of freedom of expressing our thoughts online.
00:36:07.380 But aren't we doing the same thing?
00:36:09.480 We're just doing it maybe perhaps a little quieter?
00:36:13.100 I mean, the minute he bought Twitter and started, you know, opening it back up, they all, almost every department in the government started an open investigation on him.
00:36:28.640 I mean, that's exactly what's happening with this judge in Brazil.
00:36:34.400 Look, it's not only the various three-letter agencies that are targeting Elon right now, from the STC to the DOJ to the SEC, Elon and his companies.
00:36:54.520 We're seeing potentially more women in Brazil, but more importantly, advertisers are doing the same thing. 0.97
00:37:00.480 It's just starting to see more of a – a lot of people like to call it the establishment, those in power, unelected officials.
00:37:05.720 But it just seems like that cabal that's trying to maintain power and control.
00:37:12.380 And they're targeting X in a very blatant way.
00:37:17.080 So Linda Iaccarino, who's done an incredible job at X, she was initially the person that was brought in to kind of make peace with the ADL, make peace with other companies that were trying to –
00:37:29.280 the Apple, for example, when they withdrew the advertising from X, and it worked for a while.
00:37:34.180 And now we saw a leak a couple of days ago.
00:37:35.860 I don't know how true it is, and I think it was politically motivated.
00:37:38.600 I don't think it's true that advertisers are planning to, again, boycott X.
00:37:42.780 No good reason why.
00:37:44.260 And we saw Linda put out a letter to advertisers.
00:37:46.540 They're going to start fighting advertisers legally through the U.S. justice system, which I hope the legal system in the U.S. does not go down a similar path to –
00:37:54.080 it's already heading down a dangerous path, but not as far as Brazil.
00:37:56.740 But if the legal system also goes down the path of centralizing power and censorship, then what's left?
00:38:04.540 So advertisers are strangling Twitter's revenue, X's revenue.
00:38:09.720 If the legal system is not there to protect a company like X, how far can one man go?
00:38:14.320 Despite him being the richest man alive, how far can one person go?
00:38:17.460 Social media companies need to stand up to this.
00:38:21.460 Yeah, they do.
00:38:22.960 Let me ask you a question.
00:38:24.640 I've been asked if I would help with a political fundraiser, and because of the FCC laws, I can't do it on radio.
00:38:37.880 But I was wondering if I could do it on spaces.
00:38:41.080 Can you – what kind of latitude does spaces give?
00:38:46.380 Spaces – a lot of people listening to this might not know of what spaces are, even though they've been blowing up.
00:38:55.000 So the fascinating thing about spaces, just trying to introduce the audience to them, is that it becomes like the old-school CNN, Fox News live coverage when there's breaking news.
00:39:04.540 But essentially, the audience participates in the coverage.
00:39:08.760 So people could request to come up on stage.
00:39:11.320 And I've had senators, I've had business leaders during the Silicon Valley bank collapse.
00:39:17.220 I've had Mark Cuban, Bill Ackman come on stage.
00:39:19.500 Obviously, Elon has been on my stage, I think, about five, six, seven times, I think, by now.
00:39:23.780 And so when we're covering a story, you have the people that – the people that have influence come on stage and request.
00:39:32.520 So absolutely – and the good thing is that there's no fears of censorship.
00:39:36.500 And the reach, the audience size is staggering.
00:39:39.420 We saw that in the Elon and Trump interview.
00:39:42.160 Exactly, exactly.
00:39:43.220 So absolutely.
00:39:43.780 What was that – do you have that number?
00:39:47.020 What was the number when we were on together?
00:39:50.320 Any ideas?
00:39:50.860 It was – when we were on, it was during the Brazil censorship show.
00:39:56.820 I think we were on twice so far.
00:39:58.840 There was the DNC and the Brazil censorship.
00:40:01.520 Both of them were in the seven figures, a million plus.
00:40:05.180 I don't remember exactly how many.
00:40:06.900 And that's just the original recording.
00:40:09.100 Obviously, a lot of people snip it and post it in different places.
00:40:12.040 But that's just the original recording.
00:40:14.160 The Elon one is sitting – my biggest was probably about $18 million for one stream.
00:40:18.980 And then the one with Elon and Trump is in the tens and tens of millions.
00:40:24.920 Wow.
00:40:25.760 Amazing.
00:40:26.460 Amazing.
00:40:27.460 Mario, thank you very much.
00:40:28.760 And thank you for bringing so much attention to what is happening in Brazil and is coming to all Western countries if we don't stop it and we don't change course quickly.
00:40:40.380 Thanks, Mario.
00:40:41.240 Appreciate it.
00:40:42.000 Thanks, Gwen.
