The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guest： Rep. James Comer ｜ 8⧸1⧸22

00:00:00.000 Great show today. We take on the hypocrisy of global warming. We talked to you about the Build

00:00:05.600 Back Better bill, which is the inflation reduction bill. Now that's the new name of it, but it does

00:00:11.260 not reduce inflation. In fact, it's just going to impoverish you. We tell you about the tax scheme

00:00:17.600 that is now just coming out. They had time to tell us this now that we have that. We also

00:00:25.180 will tell you all about Hunter Biden. We have the guy who's leading the investigation in

00:00:31.740 Washington, D.C. This is a podcast that is chock full of all the stuff you need for a

00:00:38.280 Monday. And it's brought to you by Relief Factor. We want to thank Relief Factor for being such

00:00:43.780 a loyal sponsor. And I want to thank him personally for all the changes they've made in my life.

00:00:49.780 I just read on today's radio program, I read a testimonial about a woman who said she couldn't

00:00:56.380 use her hands anymore. Her hands were in so much pain. She said, after using Relief Factor

00:01:02.040 for about a week, she said, it's like I never had pain in my hands. She said, it's just an

00:01:06.960 absolute miracle. Now it took me about probably five weeks to get that way because I had pain

00:01:12.100 in my hands where I couldn't use them either. And it was a godsend to me. Please try Relief

00:01:19.740 Factor. If you want your life back and you're tired of living in pain, will you just please

00:01:25.900 try it? 70% of the people who try the three week quick start go on to order more month

00:01:30.320 after month because like me, it works. 1995, the starter pack, 70% of the people, maybe you're

00:01:38.780 one of those 70%. If you want a drug free and natural way to get your life back, it's

00:01:42.940 ReliefFactor.com. ReliefFactor.com.

00:01:52.220 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:59.340 This is the Glenn Beck Program from the Standing Rock Ranch. Welcome to the program. And we welcome

00:02:06.280 Mr. Pat Gray. Hello, Pat. How are you, sir?

00:02:09.280 Oh, perfect. You know, really, really perfect. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. In every way. Almost. Yeah.

00:02:17.720 Yeah. And Stu is with us. And Stu, how are you? That's fascinating. Thank you for sharing.

00:02:26.520 Let me, the way you tell a story, Stu is captivating. So let me, let me now go to a piece of audio

00:02:35.160 we had last week. We didn't get to it. And I'm sure Pat played it and others have played

00:02:40.400 it, but I don't know what anybody else has said. And I find it absolutely incredible from

00:02:45.980 the 1960s. Here's a clip from the BBC talking to children who are predicting the future in

00:02:56.200 the year 2000. Now listen to this. I think it'll be, uh, um, people will be regarded more as

00:03:02.600 statistics and as actual people. I don't think it's going to be so nice. I think sort of all machines

00:03:09.140 everywhere, everyone doing everything for you. You know, you'll get all bored and I don't think it'll

00:03:15.940 be so nice. First of all, there's computers are taking over now computers and automation.

00:03:23.900 And in the year 2000, they just won't, won't be enough jobs to go around. And the only jobs

00:03:27.800 there will be will be for people with high HQ, you know, high IQ can work computers and such

00:03:35.040 things. And other people are just not going to have jobs. They just aren't going to be jobs

00:03:38.220 for them to have. Hmm. Hmm. Okay. Um, I would like these kids to run the fed. Uh, I don't know

00:03:50.200 about you, but the thing that I grabbed out of this was who the hell are these children? These are 0.53

00:03:56.580 children. They look to be anywhere from 10 to maybe 14. Um, the vocabulary, uh, the thinking that is

00:04:07.140 involved in this, they're asked to predict the future and they're talking about automation and

00:04:13.280 people won't have jobs and listen again to the first one. Play it again. Do you play the first

00:04:18.460 one again, please play it? Just play it from the beginning and then stop after the first one.

00:04:21.980 Um, people will be regarded more as statistics and as actual people. I don't think it's going to be

00:04:28.060 so nice. I think sort of all machines. People are going to be, how old do you think that kid is?

00:04:33.780 Maybe 10, 10 or 12. Looking at him. If you're watching the blaze, um, maybe 10, maybe 12 people

00:04:41.080 will be regarded as statistics. What 10 year old says that what 10 year old says that could say that

00:04:53.240 even about next year, you know, or 2030. Well, I think people will be regarded more as statistics,

00:05:00.320 that there'll be numbers, uh, that computers will be doing everything. And that will give us a, a, a lack

00:05:07.700 of, uh, self-worth. We won't be able to, uh, have the jobs. Just the people who are highly educated,

00:05:14.280 know all about computers are going to be, you know, who made this case in the 1990s? Carl Sagan.

00:05:22.500 Carl Sagan made the points that these kids are making. He got it from these kids. If this doesn't,

00:05:27.860 yeah, he did. He stole it from these kids at damn, if he were alive today, boy, I'd be after him. 0.98

00:05:34.820 Um, what is amazing to me is how our educational system has completely failed us. 0.99

00:05:44.820 I can't think of kids that are 10 and 12 years old that talk like this. Can you?

00:05:52.600 No, there, I mean, there aren't adults in the Biden administration that can talk like this.

00:05:57.740 Reason and deduce and come to conclusions like this. They can't, they're incapable of it.

00:06:02.660 It doesn't seem like there's adults in the Biden administration that can talk.

00:06:05.540 Right.

00:06:05.900 Little of them like this.

00:06:06.820 Right.

00:06:07.000 They don't seem to be able to get through any, uh, form of communication.

00:06:11.040 Do we happen to have, speaking of that, do we happen to have the Nancy Pelosi, uh, monologue

00:06:18.000 that she tried to explain the inflation bill?

00:06:21.900 Oh, it's from November of 2021.

00:06:24.140 This one is incredible.

00:06:25.680 Oh, is it November?

00:06:26.600 I thought it was from this bill.

00:06:27.700 I just want you to listen and try to tell me what she's talking about when she's discussing

00:06:35.000 a bill that just is in negotiation and passing.

00:06:38.440 We're sending stuff over to the Senate.

00:06:41.200 Well, it's most of the product that we've done is.

00:06:45.700 So now we may have added in the last day or so, and some of what we added is Senate to the

00:06:51.940 bill, like hearing.

00:06:52.700 Uh, hearing, Bernie doesn't like hearing, excuse me, Bernie loves hearing, Manchin doesn't

00:06:59.860 want hearing in the bill and all that stuff.

00:07:01.740 Um, so some of the Senate oriented, and then we had the family medically, we figured if

00:07:06.700 they're putting things in, then we can put something in, even if Manchin doesn't like

00:07:11.040 it.

00:07:11.180 So, um, uh, so we are getting some bird and privilege.

00:07:21.240 I think, I think mostly we're getting privilege scrub because privilege struggle is deadlift

00:07:26.380 to a bill.

00:07:27.500 Birdable is important.

00:07:29.720 It's, you have to take it out, but privilege violation can take you out.

00:07:35.100 Sure.

00:07:35.580 So, so we're again getting that as we go along as well.

00:07:40.080 But when we pass a bill, then they will see it in its aggregate and make, uh, some.

00:07:46.600 Are there any concerns that any of this is, quote, messaging because that they have to

00:07:50.500 take some of those things out regardless, no matter what you send over?

00:07:53.760 You said you weren't going to send a messaging bill.

00:07:56.560 No, no, we're going to send a messaging bill, but we, um, want to be sure that what we send

00:08:00.420 is not birdable or...

00:08:02.820 Birdable.

00:08:04.240 Birdbath.

00:08:05.680 Birdbath.

00:08:06.460 Privilege scrub.

00:08:07.380 Birdbath.

00:08:07.980 They're the two things.

00:08:09.180 Or privilege scrub.

00:08:10.380 Exercises for engagement.

00:08:16.420 Wow.

00:08:17.240 Oof.

00:08:18.260 Could we just play the 10-year-old again from the BBC?

00:08:23.160 I think it'll be, uh, um, people will be regarded more as statistics than as actual people.

00:08:30.680 Mm-hmm.

00:08:33.200 Wow.

00:08:33.840 Now, either Nancy Pelosi is drinking, which has always been the rumor, she's either hammered, 0.83

00:08:42.760 it's Nancy Pelosi, it's hammered time, um, she's either drinking or she is, uh, losing

00:08:52.920 it.

00:08:53.660 Mm-hmm.

00:08:53.900 And I'm not sure, I'm not sure which, which it is, honestly.

00:08:58.180 These guys that are in Congress, this is the oldest Congress, the oldest representation,

00:09:04.440 uh, that we've ever had.

00:09:07.240 There's never been a group of people at this age serving in Washington, D.C., the age of

00:09:15.500 the administration, the age of Congress, the age of Senate.

00:09:18.780 Go home!

00:09:21.540 Go home!

00:09:24.500 You know, it's incredible to me.

00:09:27.640 There's got to be a rule, right?

00:09:30.620 There's got to be a, an age limit.

00:09:32.500 Not only do I agree with term limits, but I really think there should be an age limit 0.90

00:09:37.260 because so many of these people are starting to be significantly compromised.

00:09:44.220 Nancy Pelosi is one of them.

00:09:46.120 Joe Biden obviously is another.

00:09:48.800 You've got two of the three most powerful people in the world who are seriously compromised

00:09:54.500 right now, and we're not doing anything about it.

00:09:58.640 Well, I will tell you that, um, you know, the average lifespan was in its thirties, uh,

00:10:03.880 when we wrote the Constitution.

00:10:06.400 Uh, that was, I mean, Ben Franklin was probably double the age of the average, the average American.

00:10:15.200 And how old was he when he died, Pat?

00:10:17.980 70?

00:10:18.800 I think late seventies.

00:10:21.160 Late seventies.

00:10:22.280 Okay.

00:10:22.640 I remember my grandfather's era, um, you know, people, when they started social security,

00:10:28.480 it's because the average age for when you died, when a man died was 61.

00:10:33.560 And so they made it at 65.

00:10:36.060 So most people would not get social security, um, but at least you'd have it in case you 0.60

00:10:42.440 were an outlier.

00:10:43.400 Well, now people are living to be 80 and 90 years old and some people are great.

00:10:48.000 I mean, you know, we both know, uh, a heart surgeon that is no longer practicing heart

00:10:54.400 surgery, but he is, he's, you know, running a global organization and the guy is 90 Pat,

00:11:00.600 91, 94, and he is even older than that.

00:11:05.680 He's sharper than I am.

00:11:06.940 Yeah.

00:11:07.140 I think he's sharper than I am.

00:11:09.080 So I hate to say that you have an age limit, but you, you should have common sense and decency

00:11:18.220 and your family should have common decency.

00:11:22.220 We all know when our, when our parents and grandparents are just not as strong as they

00:11:27.940 used to be.

00:11:28.600 And we certainly know when they're, when they're just incapable of doing things, these people,

00:11:36.020 if they had to drive themselves, I would bet you a lot of the people in Congress that are

00:11:41.040 of her age would have their keys taken away from them, but they don't drive anymore.

00:11:46.320 Yep.

00:11:47.560 Uh, it looks like Franklin was 84.

00:11:49.680 Yeah.

00:11:50.160 84.

00:11:50.480 When he died, um, 84, and he was at the constitutional convention, right?

00:11:56.440 He was still brokering deals.

00:11:58.180 Yeah.

00:11:58.320 He was in a great deal of pain at the time, uh, but he wouldn't take morphine because he

00:12:03.940 said it would, or opium.

00:12:05.780 He said, because it would addle your brain and he wanted to remain sharp.

00:12:10.160 Isn't one of the problems that you're talking about with the age thing, Glenn, like a bigger

00:12:15.000 issue with just the size and scope of government?

00:12:17.540 Because in theory, right, voters, the reason why Nancy Pelosi is in our lives is because 1.00

00:12:24.960 the representatives of some blue district keep voting her in.

00:12:31.200 They have the opportunity to select someone younger and more coherent.

00:12:35.020 They just choose not to.

00:12:36.300 Which is not necessarily, I don't think, against what the founders wanted, right?

00:12:43.000 They don't, they didn't care if individual districts made bad decisions.

00:12:46.960 I mean, they wanted them to make good decisions, but if they, if an individual district selects

00:12:51.760 as their representative, someone who the rest of the country doesn't like, that's in theory

00:12:56.200 fine.

00:12:56.900 The problem is that these people wind up running our lives.

00:12:59.700 If they didn't have all this power when they got to Washington, which they weren't supposed

00:13:03.780 to have, this wouldn't be a problem.

00:13:05.100 It becomes a problem for everyone because Nancy Pelosi has so much of an effect on our 1.00

00:13:09.560 day-to-day lives, and she obviously is either drunk or incoherent all the time.

00:13:14.560 And they thought, they thought that the, uh, the election process would preclude lifetime

00:13:20.620 terms for these people.

00:13:22.360 I don't think they envisioned somebody being elected, you know, 30 times in Congress.

00:13:28.540 I mean, come on. 1.00

00:13:30.120 First of all, because it was a pain in the ass. 1.00

00:13:32.820 It was such a pain in the ass. 1.00

00:13:35.300 That's why they put Washington where it is. 1.00

00:13:37.940 It was a swamp.

00:13:39.200 It was mosquito ridden.

00:13:41.000 It was at a time where, um, you could get malaria from mosquitoes.

00:13:45.680 So they knew nobody wanted to go and it wasn't a full-time job.

00:13:51.200 You had other full-time jobs.

00:13:54.160 So you were like, let's get the business done.

00:13:56.120 I got to go back to work.

00:13:57.920 So they would only meet for a couple of months every year.

00:14:01.380 So it, it wasn't the way it is now.

00:14:04.880 And also, you know, I, I go back to America, the beautiful, one of my favorite lines is

00:14:10.740 more than self, their country loved.

00:14:14.200 Joe Biden does not care.

00:14:17.980 He is building a Biden empire and a Biden, uh, cash machine.

00:14:23.840 And I really don't think he loves the country more than himself.

00:14:30.860 And that is the case with a lot of these people.

00:14:34.460 And they've, they may look at you and say, how dare you say that?

00:14:38.220 But they've convinced themselves that that is true.

00:14:42.480 And they've said, well, if I'm not doing it, who would, we've got to change the country.

00:14:46.480 We've got to do this, but they're enriching themselves.

00:14:49.660 This is so corrupt. 0.98

00:14:50.960 Nancy Pelosi is so corrupt. 1.00

00:14:52.940 Joe Biden is so corrupt. 0.97

00:14:55.840 Do you really think they care about you and your community? 0.61

00:15:00.820 If you're struggling, i.e.

00:15:04.200 the, uh, the new bill that just was passed to reduce inflation, that's going to do anything

00:15:10.060 but, and it's a tax that begins at 30,000.

00:15:15.520 So you're making $30,000 a year next year.

00:15:18.920 Your taxes are going up.

00:15:20.840 Now, is that more than self, their country loved?

00:15:25.680 Nancy Pelosi announcing she's going to Taiwan.

00:15:30.400 When we don't do that, you can go to Taiwan, but you don't, in her position, announce it

00:15:37.560 weeks ahead.

00:15:39.380 You say, I'm going on an Asian tour.

00:15:42.480 And then, quietly, you go, and then when you're done, you announce it as you're leaving.

00:15:48.500 That's the way we always do it.

00:15:51.540 But, she doesn't love the country as much as she loves herself. 0.92

00:15:56.220 Or she was drunk, or she's just incompetent. 1.00

00:16:00.280 Which one is the best? 0.85

00:16:04.500 These people should be shamed into retirement.

00:16:10.040 Shame on you for being, you're not clear enough.

00:16:13.780 I know if I'm not clear enough, I would never come on the air because it would be irresponsible

00:16:20.280 of me.

00:16:21.300 They don't seem to care about it.

00:16:24.860 The question is, why?

00:16:26.420 And then, the real important question is, what are you going to do about it?

00:16:31.240 Are you going to continue to vote for, I don't care if it's Republican, Independent, I don't

00:16:36.760 care if it's the guy I absolutely love.

00:16:39.460 If Mike Lee, for instance, is starting to slip, I'd be the first one to say, you know, Mike,

00:16:47.560 I don't want to lose this seat, but you got to go.

00:16:50.640 You got to let somebody else that understands at least today's world and is thinking about

00:16:56.440 that, not just thinking about trying to make it through a speech.

00:17:04.740 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:17:09.460 We are talking now to Congressman James Comer.

00:17:26.360 He is sharing the latest on his investigation into Hunter Biden and Biden's business dealings.

00:17:34.260 Congressman, thank you for staying with us.

00:17:36.160 Can you tell me who Edward Pruitt is?

00:17:39.460 Absolutely.

00:17:40.660 He's someone we've just requested information from.

00:17:43.940 We have access to a text message between Hunter Biden and Mr. Pruitt to where Mr. Pruitt,

00:17:52.780 who was one of Hunter's financial planners, who was coaching Hunter on how to avoid a suspicious

00:18:02.080 activity report, how to avoid getting one of those on an upcoming foreign transaction.

00:18:08.680 Hunter was about to make.

00:18:10.580 Now, these transactions that were getting flagged by suspicious activity reports, what flags those

00:18:21.000 are if you do a transaction with a country that's on the sanctions list, like, say, Syria

00:18:28.100 or somewhere like that, or now Russia, but it wasn't Russia at the time.

00:18:31.680 Or if you do a transaction with someone like a drug lord, if you watch the movie Ozark and

00:18:38.200 you saw the guy was wanting off the list, you know, that list puts him at a sanction.

00:18:43.720 Or if you're doing business with someone suspected of criminal activity.

00:18:47.520 So it could have been where, you know, Hunter was doing business with Russia, you know, for

00:18:55.000 prostitutes and things like that, according to the videos and all that other stuff.

00:18:59.660 But I don't know that it's illegal to just order a, you know, a prostitute in a foreign country unless 0.69

00:19:09.280 that entity is suspected of human trafficking, Glenn.

00:19:13.680 Then that would flag a suspicion.

00:19:16.280 Right.

00:19:16.620 That's a problem. 0.54

00:19:17.280 Which is the money that Hunter, with his dad's payments, Hunter was paying a Russian sex ring

00:19:26.340 involved in human trafficking.

00:19:28.940 And that's why they were flagged.

00:19:30.440 And I have to tell you, before I would take any advice from Edward Pruitt, if I'm the president 0.87

00:19:35.900 of the United States, I would tell my son, A, stop hiring hookers. 1.00

00:19:40.400 The second is, if you're incapable of that, don't hire hookers from Russia because it's 1.00

00:19:49.960 a clear way. 0.69

00:19:51.520 Russia and China, they are both known to put people in compromising situations.

00:19:56.860 So they have some some some way to blackmail our officials.

00:20:03.660 It's happening over and over again.

00:20:05.580 It is.

00:20:07.120 And the date of the text, by this point, Hunter received over 140 suspicious activity reports.

00:20:14.280 So the FBI, the FBI and the DOJ had to know that he was up to no good.

00:20:22.100 But yet, as far as we can tell, nothing's ever been done about it, which which raises the

00:20:27.360 suspicion that Johnson and Grassley have had.

00:20:30.560 Why hasn't the FBI done something by now?

00:20:34.180 Well, why haven't they done something?

00:20:35.740 You do all this stuff with the Steele dossier, but you don't do anything, which was fake,

00:20:39.800 by the way.

00:20:40.500 You don't do anything with Hunter Biden.

00:20:42.780 And you actually have proof, evidence.

00:20:45.720 There's evidence.

00:20:46.820 Unlike anything Adam Schiff ever said, this stuff with Hunter Biden, we have evidence of

00:20:51.760 wrongdoing.

00:20:52.540 And yet nothing has been done.

00:20:54.580 And it would lead any investigator in Congress to believe, you know, has this put Joe Biden

00:21:01.460 in a compromise situation?

00:21:02.560 Has this put him at a disadvantage with some of our adversaries for the potential of blackmail

00:21:08.120 with his son or whatever?

00:21:10.060 And that's why we're doing this investigation.

00:21:13.160 There is absolutely no way that Putin and the highest levels of the Chinese spy agencies,

00:21:20.620 there is no way that they didn't know about these things.

00:21:24.740 So if we were worried about a golden shower taken by Donald Trump in Russia, which was

00:21:33.060 completely made up, why would anyone think that they haven't used this or wouldn't use this

00:21:41.280 against Joe Biden?

00:21:42.620 It makes no sense.

00:21:43.660 It makes no sense.

00:21:45.660 And I can tell you that the videos that are on that laptop, some of the stories that we've

00:21:51.860 been told by close associates of Hunter, it's pretty prevalent.

00:21:57.240 There were a lot of transactions made there.

00:21:59.180 And I don't know that's what we don't know for sure that's which wire that Pruitt was coaching

00:22:05.860 him on, but the fact that Pruitt was coaching him on how to avoid a suspicious activity report

00:22:13.340 shows that Pruitt knew that Hunter was up to no good, and he was trying to protect him

00:22:19.440 from that, shield him from being further investigated.

00:22:22.860 So we want to know what that transaction was.

00:22:26.300 But whatever it was, it was a foreign transaction.

00:22:29.500 And by everything that we can tell, he had transactions with three main countries.

00:22:35.240 He had transactions with Russia, with Ukraine, and with China.

00:22:39.120 So who is, I mean, China, Russia, apparently they've never blackmailed the Russian oligarchs.

00:22:52.080 I would imagine Hunter's business partners and Joe Biden's business partners could use blackmail.

00:22:59.320 I have a feeling that the people that were involved are worried that they're going to be thrown

00:23:04.080 under the bus to get Hunter and the president off.

00:23:07.660 Isn't the best line of inquiry would be to give them immunity for their testimony?

00:23:13.780 Because they've got to be freaked that they're going to jail and the uppers won't.

00:23:18.500 They are.

00:23:19.180 And another message that the New York Post broke last week was from a James Gillier, who was

00:23:24.480 another one of Hunter Biden's associates.

00:23:26.700 And this was a phone message that was recorded from a person that was worried that they would

00:23:34.740 get thrown under the bus for some of these shady business dealings of Hunter's that was

00:23:38.540 coming out in the press.

00:23:40.920 And this James Gillier replied back, don't worry, the big guy's got our back.

00:23:46.620 So when he did that, Gillier became the second Hunter associate, along with Bobulinski, to

00:23:54.380 identify Joe Biden as the big guy.

00:23:56.440 And of course, we all know from Hunter's voicemail and his emails that you had to save 10% for

00:24:02.740 the big guy.

00:24:03.340 If that, in fact, makes Joe Biden the big guy, and he was trying to get 10% of a Chinese company

00:24:10.260 that's very involved with the Chinese Communist Party spy agency, then that's a huge, huge problem

00:24:18.140 for Joe Biden.

00:24:18.840 So let me go back to Ukraine for a second.

00:24:25.480 The money we sent over, these are just a couple of things.

00:24:28.360 I don't know if you have the answer, but I hope somebody in Washington is looking into this.

00:24:32.100 The money we sent over, suspiciously, as soon as we sent that money over, the president, President

00:24:40.640 Zelensky, and their version of Congress, to change their mind on gay marriage.

00:24:48.200 And I think this has Samantha Power's fingerprints all over it.

00:24:53.860 Are we exacting a price for this money?

00:24:58.500 Do you know?

00:24:59.580 Your guess would be as good as mine, Glenn.

00:25:01.820 This administration has not been transparent with anything they're doing in Ukraine.

00:25:06.140 So could you, I mean, who looks into things like that?

00:25:10.780 And also, the oligarch that Zelensky just pulled the citizenship from is the guy that owned Burisma

00:25:19.120 and had dealings with Privat Bank that we had our missing $1.8 billion in, and Hunter was

00:25:27.740 connected to the bank and Burisma.

00:25:30.120 But also, Joe Biden, through Hunter, got that guy you were just talking about, Ozark, got this oligarch off that list.

00:25:41.120 He would not come to the United States. 0.97

00:25:43.940 Joe and Hunter Biden got that removed so he could have a visa to come here into the United States.

00:25:52.260 And now, after we give the money, the guy who, this same oligarch that helped get Zelensky the presidency over in Ukraine,

00:26:03.480 and was the guy that Hunter and Joe Biden were involved with, now his citizenship is revoked.

00:26:09.420 I'm wondering why.

00:26:11.620 Do you have any idea on that one?

00:26:13.200 I have no idea, but I can tell you this, Glenn.

00:26:15.940 The oligarchs that the Biden administration has clearly shown favoritism to are two oligarchs who have paid Hunter Biden for who knows what.

00:26:29.180 We'll call it consulting services.

00:26:31.420 Those two oligarchs are going to be the key to answering a lot of questions about potential wrongdoing and quid pro quo 0.97

00:26:38.740 and every other problem, legal problem, that Hunter and potentially his father are going to have once Republicans take the majority in January.

00:26:49.780 I hope the Department of Justice does that before then, but I don't have confidence they will.

00:26:55.260 Well, one thing I am afraid of with the Department of Justice is that they take, they try him on something, he skates on it, and then double jeopardy.

00:27:04.920 Does that apply to you?

00:27:07.120 I hope not.

00:27:08.080 We're still going to have hearings with the associates.

00:27:14.640 We're going to have hearings with the bankers.

00:27:17.180 We will try to get as many of the high-level people that this administration has let off the hook, the oligarchs.

00:27:24.620 If they're in the United States, we'll do anything we can to get to the bottom of the truth. 0.62

00:27:29.300 And these hearings are going to be transparent, and they're going to be a real committee.

00:27:33.080 It's not going to be a Nancy Pelosi hand-picked committee with everybody having the same viewpoint.

00:27:39.720 This is going to be a legitimate congressional hearing, and we're going to publish a report, and we're going to walk that over and hand it to the Department of Justice.

00:27:49.680 If Biden's still president and the same people are still in control, we're going to be very transparent with the American people on what we publish and what we expect of this Department of Justice.

00:28:00.740 Well, thank you for that.

00:28:03.000 The last question.

00:28:06.500 Do you have evidence that the Secret Service colluded with the Bidens and covered things up, the White House?

00:28:16.540 And do you have evidence that the DOJ was involved and covered things up?

00:28:23.540 I don't have any evidence of that.

00:28:25.980 You know, the Secret Service hasn't been the most transparent agency in a lot of different things that we've been looking into.

00:28:34.420 So we have nothing there.

00:28:37.040 With the Department of Justice, I know that Johnson and Grassley feel like they have a little bit of evidence.

00:28:43.220 That's more of what the Senate's been looking into.

00:28:46.540 What I've been looking into in the House is more revolved around his banking records.

00:28:49.940 Because once we get these suspicious activity reports, they will specifically say what the bank thought.

00:28:57.040 This was a suspicious wire with this person who is sanctioned in Russia, or this person who is sanctioned, or this business who is sanctioned in China.

00:29:08.380 Or we believe he was money laundering here, or we believe that this was an excessive wire from a country that we're not allowed to do business with.

00:29:19.660 So those suspicious activity reports will be able to answer a lot of questions and take us an enormous way along the path of investigating Hunter Biden's wrongdoing and shady business dealings.

00:29:34.160 Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

00:29:38.080 Congressman Comey from Kentucky, thank you for your hard work, sir.

00:29:42.120 And I do indeed hope that you are in charge of the committee and that it is transparent.

00:29:48.360 The American people cannot have closed-door dealings anymore.

00:29:52.940 And I hope you are as transparent as you say you will be.

00:29:58.240 I pray that you have the committee.

00:30:00.860 Thank you so much, sir.

00:30:02.420 Thank you.

00:30:02.980 God bless.

00:30:04.160 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:30:20.900 Nancy Pelosi and her bar, probably some ice cream, flew overnight to Asia.

00:30:30.400 She's in Singapore or Shanghai or one of those S countries or cities.

00:30:38.660 Wasn't that one of the like Trump was talking about S countries?

00:30:42.720 I think anyway, she's she's in one of those.

00:30:44.540 And she is she's not saying if she's going to go to to Taiwan.

00:30:51.740 Now, she just won't say she's tight lipped.

00:30:54.380 And most of that tightness is from the face stretching that she's had done over the years.

00:30:58.880 But she's very tight lipped now.

00:31:00.880 And and it's nice because China said pretty much, you know, kind of like we're thinking maybe an act of war if you go.

00:31:10.000 But who are we to say?

00:31:13.260 So it's fabulous.

00:31:14.680 And we wish her all the best.

00:31:17.040 We really do.

00:31:18.360 Now, here's the the next story that I think is kind of important.

00:31:25.820 You know, I just told you that Hawaii was, you know, taking themselves out of the coal business.

00:31:31.720 They're not taking any more shipments.

00:31:33.340 And don't worry that the other plants, the solar panels, they'll all be done in two weeks.

00:31:38.300 Don't worry about it.

00:31:39.460 And Europe is in the same exact situation.

00:31:43.420 Now, here's the good news.

00:31:45.240 People are starting to rethink like natural gas.

00:31:49.560 I mean, that's pretty clean.

00:31:50.760 Right.

00:31:51.220 And what about nuclear energy?

00:31:53.520 Ding, ding, ding.

00:31:54.660 They'd already gotten turned off all their nukes and everything else.

00:31:58.160 Now, Russia's back online, sending them the gas.

00:32:03.240 But they've you know, gosh, where did we put that extra 20 percent?

00:32:06.900 So now they're cutting it down by like 20 percent and they're not sure if they're going to have.

00:32:13.620 Well, they know they're not going to have enough.

00:32:15.160 They're not sure they're going to get anything once it turns to winter with Russia.

00:32:19.200 You know, Russians seem to be, I don't know, a little harsh from time to time. 1.00

00:32:25.320 And they're kind of pissed off at this point.

00:32:27.840 And I love this.

00:32:29.420 Coal fire plants are being revived in Germany.

00:32:32.400 Billions are being spent on terminals to bring in liquefied natural gas.

00:32:36.900 And they are looking for any kind of natural gas.

00:32:41.760 Who has any kind of natural gas that they could sell to Europe?

00:32:46.360 And we've looked the world over and we just can't find any country that has natural gas.

00:32:53.480 And gosh, I wish we could help Europe out.

00:32:58.300 But we just don't have any.

00:33:00.240 We have none.

00:33:01.500 So they're on a knife's edge.

00:33:05.240 The Germany's biggest cities are now saying that they're going to have to reduce.

00:33:11.820 Everybody's going to have to reduce their their usage, their consumption of energy by 16 percent.

00:33:17.820 I think that extra one percent, you know, 15 percent, you know, nice round number about 15 percent.

00:33:23.680 They got it down to 16.

00:33:25.180 And so I think that means, you know, do not use a four slice toaster.

00:33:31.640 You can use two, but not four.

00:33:33.320 And you're not allowed to heat your home over 68 degrees and you're not allowed to air condition your home below 78 degrees.

00:33:48.280 So it's going to be very nice.

00:33:49.680 It's going to be very nice.

00:33:50.700 They're going to have to sacrifice a little bit.

00:33:53.660 The city has also banned the use of mobile air conditioning units and fan heaters.

00:33:58.980 And, you know, I don't know about you, but and I've thought this out a lot because I care about the planet and global warming.

00:34:08.240 And what are all these people going to do?

00:34:10.200 You know, they're going to die from heat.

00:34:12.540 And I have an idea.

00:34:14.800 And you can write this down.

00:34:15.900 Germany, you can take this for free.

00:34:19.140 It's called air conditioning.

00:34:22.560 And I know you want to stop with the energy.

00:34:25.400 That one solved natural gas or nuclear plants or, dare I say it, coal until you get those things running again.

00:34:36.900 But if you're not going to do that, well, then people are going to die.

00:34:41.160 And there's just no way around that.

00:34:43.420 Yeah.

00:34:43.720 Well, this is a well thought out plan.

00:34:44.960 I've been thinking about it for years, too.

00:34:46.600 You have been, Glenn.

00:34:47.640 And there's this idea that we can't impact the earth.

00:34:51.600 If you think about things in through that framework, you have a problem.

00:34:55.940 If you think about things in the framework of protecting human life and having human life flourish, you think about things a little differently.

00:35:03.600 Like you wrote in.

00:35:04.740 Well, can you imagine?

00:35:06.160 Hang on.

00:35:06.720 Just say, can you imagine, Stu, what they're saying is global warming.

00:35:10.180 The whole world will be like Phoenix, Arizona.

00:35:12.480 Yeah.

00:35:12.920 Which we know has no people.

00:35:15.840 They're all dying of, you know, heat exhaustion.

00:35:19.520 And I feel bad for the population.

00:35:22.040 Yeah.

00:35:22.060 They act as if we can't see what a world would be like if there were a lot of heat waves.

00:35:26.920 What if you had a community there where you saw triple digit temperatures often?

00:35:31.000 Yeah.

00:35:31.460 Well, what if we have them already?

00:35:33.440 We see how people how people deal with that.

00:35:36.520 They're now trying to make the same point about the Northwest.

00:35:38.720 Well, they don't have a lot of air conditioning.

00:35:40.280 People in the Northwest don't have air conditioning.

00:35:41.900 People in Seattle don't have it.

00:35:43.480 Yeah.

00:35:43.940 You get some.

00:35:44.500 Here's what you wrote in an inconvenient book.

00:35:46.000 This is back in the 2006.

00:35:47.560 So this is not you coming up last minute with this solution.

00:35:52.320 When the heat wave of 2003 hit Europe, nearly 35,000 mostly elderly people died.

00:35:59.300 The size and scope of the tragedy gave global warming theorists an opportunity to spout their

00:36:03.640 views to almost every news camera on the globe.

00:36:05.980 They claim that events like this justify the EU spending an estimated $1.443 trillion by

00:36:12.980 2023, which is right around the corner now, to alter its energy industry enough to possibly

00:36:19.000 avert climate change.

00:36:20.360 A hundred years ago, there was nothing you could do about a heat wave except stay away

00:36:23.920 from fat, smelly relatives.

00:36:25.760 Now we can do this magic thing called condition the air.

00:36:29.700 35,000 air conditioners cost about $2.5 million, or perhaps you can pick a few vacant office

00:36:36.880 buildings that your economy and its double-digit unemployment rates can't support and turn the

00:36:41.840 AC on.

00:36:42.760 Then just fire up a few gasoline-powered school buses and shuttle old people to the air-conditioned 1.00

00:36:48.060 facilities repeat every time it gets hot.

00:36:50.820 kind of, we would solve the problem.

00:36:54.500 It was a, yeah, yeah, and it was a, it was a tough, I mean, I worked in a think tank for

00:36:59.840 a very long time on that solution.

00:37:01.640 You sure did.

00:37:02.600 But I mean, again, that's what the left loves to leave out of this equation.

00:37:06.560 The fact that we can do things to solve whatever issues there might be.

00:37:11.280 So if we do get more heat waves, which I don't think is a certainty, but if we do, then we

00:37:15.940 will deal with it.

00:37:16.880 What is the main thing we're trying to do here when it comes to the climate?

00:37:20.360 The main thing we would be trying to do is to limit the amount of people who die because

00:37:26.100 of the climate, right?

00:37:27.040 That's the main metric you'd think we'd be focusing on.

00:37:30.720 And you would think we're focused on.

00:37:33.000 Though that chart of how that has progressed has not shown up in any UN IPCC report.

00:37:38.400 We do have it though from your book, an inconvenient book, and it shows the rate of death from extreme

00:37:45.060 weather that has dropped by about 99% from 1915 to 2000.

00:37:54.620 In this book, it ends at 2004, though we know the rate has dropped even farther since then.

00:38:00.800 And it's because we've come up with solutions to deal with these things.

00:38:05.860 We've advanced and adapted and made life better for people.

00:38:09.660 Yet the left always says the opposite.

00:38:12.020 Look, you can quote boneheads like whoever wrote that book, or you can quote Bill McGuire,

00:38:19.780 who's just put a new book out last week, Hot House Earth, an Inhabitant's Guide.

00:38:26.140 And he argues that after a year of ignoring warnings from scientists, it is now too late

00:38:33.720 to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate change.

00:38:37.200 And at this point, there's nothing we can do.

00:38:40.460 Now, if I'm writing that book, that's where the book starts.

00:38:44.140 That's where the book ends.

00:38:45.780 You close it.

00:38:46.620 But he found a few other things to say.

00:38:48.840 Now, the University College of London Earth Sciences, he's a professor there, said that

00:38:55.700 the record-breaking heat waves across the UK and the dangerous wildfires, I mean, that's

00:39:02.400 global warming.

00:39:03.160 And as we headed further into 2022, soon it'll be unrecognizable to every one of us, meaning

00:39:11.960 the world.

00:39:13.240 And I think that's true.

00:39:15.180 It's already unrecognizable, you know, when people are saying a heat wave is going to scare

00:39:22.540 all of us to death.

00:39:24.280 I'm sorry, burn all of us to death if we don't die in the fiery flood.

00:39:29.640 Uh, so anyway, um, the, um, he's now saying that we have to have zero admission.

00:39:37.440 We have to have it right away.

00:39:39.320 I don't know why we have to, because.

00:39:43.120 Well, it's too late to do anything about it.

00:39:46.400 I say we take all the money and buy air conditioners myself.

00:39:49.260 Um, however, there are some things that, um, that can be done.

00:39:53.800 And that is, we'll stop, uh, Taylor Swift from, uh, from flying in a private jet.

00:40:00.460 Uh, she said that she has now found out that Taylor Swift, yes, America's sweetheart, her

00:40:09.060 jet, her CO2 emissions total about 1200 times more than the emissions from the average person's

00:40:16.020 annual emissions, seven metric tons.

00:40:19.300 She's, she's got 1200 times that, uh, her jet emits more carbon dioxide than any other 0.97

00:40:27.080 celebrity jet, but she says, wait, you can't pin that on me because I lease my jet out and other

00:40:36.580 people use my jet.

00:40:38.460 I, I don't use it all the time.

00:40:41.580 You know, it's other people that do it.

00:40:45.080 Uh, well, she can try to get away with it all you want. 1.00

00:40:48.700 Uh, but we know she should probably be in climate jail along with somebody else. 1.00

00:40:55.460 Yes, Leonardo DiCaprio, we all know and love him.

00:41:00.260 He was, um, a survivor of the Titanic who knew, uh, but he survived and yet he still has the

00:41:08.760 courage to get onto big boats.

00:41:11.260 Uh, apparently he's got a, uh, a vacation record on large, like 250 foot yachts, uh, that, uh,

00:41:22.880 is doing a lot of damage to the environment.

00:41:25.840 And the, the, the man who took him on was the Brazilian, uh, president, uh, Bonsonero.

00:41:35.200 And, uh, this, this weekend, uh, Leonardo DiCaprio, you know, tweeted about the rainforests

00:41:43.420 and how it blah, blah, blah.

00:41:44.720 And, uh, the Brazilian president, uh, uh, wrote, Hey, you should give up your, your yacht

00:41:52.200 before you lecture about the, uh, environment here in Brazil.

00:41:56.360 Okay.

00:41:57.340 He was, um, just pictured on a $150 million, uh, yacht.

00:42:03.940 It's the largest, uh, uh, manufactured in Britain.

00:42:08.720 It produces about 238, uh, tons of carbon dioxide per mile per mile.

00:42:20.620 Uh, and he said, look, uh, you again, Leo, I mean, I could tell you again, give up your

00:42:27.820 yacht before lecturing the world, but I know you progressives, you want to change the entire

00:42:33.500 world, but never change yourself.

00:42:35.400 So I'm going to let you off the hook, but between us, it's weird to see a dude who pretends

00:42:40.420 to love the planet, paying more attention to Brazil than to the fires, harming Europe and

00:42:46.060 his own country.

00:42:47.800 You know, that's a problem.

00:42:49.660 He says, Leo, unlike the places you're pretending not to see by brilliantly playing the role of

00:42:55.700 a blind man, Brazil is, and will carry on being a nation that with the most preserves, you

00:43:02.940 can carry on with your Hollywood star toys as we do our job.

00:43:07.560 In my government, the average deforestation is way lower than it was in the past when the 0.54

00:43:13.200 crook turned candidate that your Brazilian buddy supports was in power. 0.66

00:43:18.660 It's clear that everyone who attacks Brazil and its sovereignty for the sake of virtue signaling 0.96

00:43:23.500 doesn't have a clue about the matter.

00:43:25.040 They don't know, for instance, that we preserve more than 80% of our native vegetation or that

00:43:31.220 we have the cleanest energy among G20 nations.

00:43:35.900 I mean, he goes on and on and on.

00:43:38.340 It's nice to hear somebody fight back and just not take it when, if it's true that they have

00:43:45.080 the cleanest energy among the G20, he should be heralding them.

00:43:51.820 But he's not.

00:43:53.020 Instead, he's on his on his yacht lecturing everybody and he's targeting Brazil.

00:43:59.300 Why?

00:44:00.540 Because it's not a progressive candidate that is currently running the country.

00:44:05.800 Na, na, na, na.
