00:02:24.900 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:32.140 All right.
00:02:33.240 Let's go to Jake Tapper because I think this one is the only example of an honest reporter from yesterday.
00:02:42.180 on the Durham report.
00:02:43.900 Here's what he said on CNN.
00:02:45.840 Regardless, the report is now here.
00:02:47.440 It has dropped and it might not have produced everything of what some Republicans hoped for.
00:02:51.320 It is regardless devastating to the FBI and to a degree it does exonerate Donald Trump.
00:02:58.500 Wait, what?
00:02:59.760 Now, so you know, Jake Tapper was one of the first ones to really jump on the bandwagon and say this is true.
00:03:06.180 He was, he is involved in a Russia scandal.
00:03:10.440 So for him to reverse himself, that's a big deal.
00:03:14.320 For him to be on CNN and reverse himself, that's a big deal.
00:03:18.760 Maybe we're starting to see a little bit, a little bit of actual journalism come out from Jake Tapper.
00:03:26.940 Now, here's what we found out.
00:03:29.760 This is, uh, this is quite amazing.
00:03:33.940 What we found out yesterday was the FBI had zero, zero intel or faith in any of this.
00:03:45.060 So they opened an investigation on something they had no faith on.
00:03:52.220 They had no intel.
00:03:54.060 And more importantly, what we found out is that they had been briefed on the fact that Hillary and her campaign was going to discredit Trump by claiming Russian collusion.
00:04:08.000 Joe Biden was made aware of, uh, Clinton campaign plans.
00:04:14.560 Um, he was told in a meeting, August 3rd, 2016, August 3rd, 2016 by then CIA director, John Brennan in the oval with Barack Obama, Biden and James Comey, the FBI director and other senior administration official officials.
00:04:37.140 They were discussing Russia's efforts to interfere in the election.
00:04:42.460 And according to Brennan's handwritten note and his recollections from the meeting, he briefed on relevant intelligence known to date on Russian election interference, including the, this is in a quote, the Clinton plan intelligence.
00:05:00.120 Now, what was that?
00:05:01.740 Durham writes specifically director Brennan's declassified handwritten notes reflect that he briefed the meetings participants regarding the alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on the 26th of July of a proposal from one of her campaign advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.
00:05:28.560 And quote, now, now, how can any American say this is not a big deal?
00:05:36.660 Not only did all of this, and we already knew, we knew it came from the Clinton campaign.
00:05:42.980 Remember the early stories was this came from a GOP operative.
00:05:46.840 Remember, that was the early thing.
00:05:48.640 This came from a GOP operative.
00:05:50.760 They were doing, uh, they were doing research.
00:05:53.120 No, no, no, the president, the FBI, the CIA, everyone knew that it was decided on July 26th and then briefed in the Oval in August that Hillary Clinton had something called the Clinton plan intelligence, where she would release things to try to get the spotlight off of her email scandal.
00:06:20.480 Durham noted that even though Comey was in attendance at this meeting, it did not spark any FBI action.
00:06:33.620 So Comey knew from the beginning.
00:06:38.420 So every time you saw Comey on television saying, well, we don't know, and there's some evidence that we really have to look into, he had been briefed in August and took no action on Hillary Clinton.
00:06:57.840 Then when the Durham report came out, not the Durham report, the Christopher Steele file, when that came out, they all knew that that was the Clinton plan intelligence.
00:07:12.320 The Durham report goes on to say, none of them had any faith in it at all.
00:07:21.460 In fact, while filing for the FISA court filings to be able to spy on Trump, the Durham report says the agents didn't then or in hindsight have any belief that any of these things were true.
00:07:42.320 Okay, so let's just start adding up the crimes here.
00:07:48.100 You have intel that one campaign is going to release false information to tie them to the Russians.
00:07:58.040 Your FBI knows it.
00:08:01.720 Your CIA director is briefing the president, the vice president, Joe Biden, about the Clinton plan intelligence.
00:08:12.380 And they do nothing.
00:08:14.980 But then when they are delivered something that they know comes from the Clinton campaign, they turn on the machine.
00:08:24.840 They then start, the FBI then starts leaking this information to the press, which they have zero confidence in.
00:08:41.100 Durham noted that during Comey's attendance at this meeting, it didn't spark any FBI action.
00:08:46.580 He further highlighted an August 22nd, 2016, email that an FBI cyber analyst sent to the bureau employees and senior intelligence officials informing them of the details of the Clinton plan.
00:09:02.500 They failed to remember any follow-up actions the bureau might have taken after the second briefing on it.
00:09:16.060 Then the FBI, when they got the steel dossier, remember the one that no one in the administration believed anything in it.
00:09:27.400 The one that they knew came from Clinton, the one they had been told months before was coming in the Clinton campaign, what was it, the Clinton plan intelligence.
00:09:43.580 When they got it, they went to Christopher Steele, he's the author of the dossier, and offered a million dollars, we'll pay you and pay your primary sources money if anyone is able to prove this.
00:10:05.400 So now, when Hillary Clinton's operatives couldn't get anything really solid, they pass it to the FBI, the FBI looks at this and goes, this is garbage.
00:10:19.000 Yeah, I know, but it could be true.
00:10:21.240 All right, offer him a million dollars if he can come up with something.
00:10:27.720 Okay, anybody have a problem with that?
00:10:31.560 Anybody?
00:10:32.040 Anybody?
00:10:33.400 Then, they went, one of the FBI agents, Brian Otten, traveled to Rome and met with Steele on October 2016.
00:10:49.420 And he made the offer, knowing that it relied primarily on one person or subsource.
00:10:57.680 The bureau paid that subsource source.
00:11:02.100 That subsource was Igor Dechenko.
00:11:06.960 They paid him almost a quarter of a million dollars, even after he was unable to provide any evidence for a single claim.
00:11:16.880 Your tax dollars paid him.
00:11:19.360 Now, this is going to get worse.
00:11:20.640 More shockingly, according to the Durham report, the FBI had significant evidence that Dechenko himself was Russian intelligence.
00:11:33.420 It had closed a counterintelligence investigation into him in 2011 because agents mistakenly believed he had left the country.
00:11:46.240 The FBI investigated Dechenko as a possible Russian spy from 2009 to 11 after a colleague at the Brookings Institute, the left-leaning think tank where he worked, told the FBI that Dechenko raised the prospect of paying him for classified information if the colleague joined the Obama administration.
00:12:06.840 A second Brookings employee also told the FBI he suspected Dechenko of being connected to Russian intelligence.
00:12:13.560 It became a full-fledged investigation when the FBI realized that Dechenko was a known associate of two other spies and had contacts with known Russian intelligence offices and had said he wanted to join the Russian diplomatic service.
00:12:30.900 He also told another person that he worked on special matters for the Russian army and that his Russian passport listed him as connected to the Russian military intelligence service.
00:12:43.000 They paid him $250,000 to prove that Trump was colluding with people like him.
00:12:54.260 He couldn't come up with that evidence.
00:12:56.640 Let me take you to Jonathan Turley.
00:13:01.680 Jonathan Turley said the AP tried to dismiss this as not the crime of a century, but Donald Trump termed it.
00:13:10.560 But whether or not anyone will ever be held accountable is hard to get around that indeed nothing like this has ever been done before.
00:13:21.400 Or that it was so damaging and divisive to our nation.
00:13:26.500 What's criminal is that it appears people might get away with it.
00:13:32.280 That doesn't mean it wasn't the crime of the century.
00:13:36.000 It just means people are not being held to account.
00:13:40.340 There is so much wrongdoing involved in all of this.
00:13:43.360 But let's point out one big lie that we always knew was a lie, which the report now confirms.
00:13:50.680 Do you remember when Adam Schiff, then the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, claimed he had seen evidence that he couldn't share with us demonstrating the Russian collusion?
00:14:02.840 Now that the report verifies there never was anything.
00:14:10.320 What was that evidence, Adam?
00:14:13.740 Given during Durham's findings that there was no basis for action taken by the FBI in launching the investigation,
00:14:21.540 it would be a good time for former House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff to reveal the evidence that showed the Russian collusion.
00:14:31.640 There is no evidence.
00:14:35.320 So here's what you have, America.
00:14:38.740 You have a former president that knew someone was going to attack the Republican candidate
00:14:46.740 and make up a story about Russian intelligence so the press would not talk to Hillary Clinton about her emails.
00:14:55.780 The president knew about it.
00:14:57.760 The vice president knew about it.
00:14:59.400 The CIA knew about it.
00:15:00.880 And the FBI knew about it.
00:15:02.380 But they took no action at all.
00:15:07.600 Now, if that isn't throwing an election, I don't know what is.
00:15:11.760 If that's not making sure your person wins because you immediately follow it up with being delivered that that, you know, is false.
00:15:23.560 Being delivered and then start leaking everything to the press from official sources.
00:15:30.660 I don't know.
00:15:33.020 I'm not going to be happy until people go to jail.
00:15:35.700 Now, the FBI did come out and they said in their statement,
00:15:41.660 the conduct in the 2016 and 2017 special counsel Durham examined was the reason that the current FBI leadership already implemented dozens of corrective actions,
00:15:52.300 which now have been in place for some time.
00:15:55.460 So they fixed it.
00:15:57.800 Nothing to see here.
00:15:59.880 No one went to jail.
00:16:01.620 No one was fired.
00:16:03.560 No one was held accountable.
00:16:05.020 But trust us, they say.
00:16:07.400 We've fixed it.
00:16:09.380 Boy, I'm so close to using a word that I know I can't use and follow it with you to the FBI.
00:16:20.820 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:16:24.820 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.
00:16:27.080 Now streaming this hour of the podcast on Twitter every day.
00:16:33.900 The first hour of the broadcast is live on YouTube.
00:16:38.640 But those are, you know, the schlubs, really. 0.98
00:16:41.980 It's the Twitter people that we like the most.
00:16:44.160 Wouldn't you say, Stu?
00:16:45.380 Oh, 100%.
00:16:46.120 Yeah, 100%.
00:16:46.900 So, you know, this hour for, you know, for the right people, really.
00:16:51.540 Mm-hmm.
00:16:52.560 On Twitter.
00:16:53.820 Okay.
00:16:54.220 Anyway, if you watch the news and you're watching anything from the left, you are going to hear a completely different story on the Durham report.
00:17:06.140 And you're going to hear that they have absolutely nothing.
00:17:11.100 Nobody did any wrong.
00:17:12.820 And you could make a case because nobody, nobody's, he's not asking for anybody to be fired or anybody, jail time.
00:17:22.060 Nothing.
00:17:22.740 Nothing.
00:17:23.940 Um, and so it seems like a big fat zero.
00:17:27.480 However, if you actually read the report, it is extraordinarily disturbing.
00:17:34.000 Sean Davis is with us.
00:17:35.240 He is the Federalist CEO and co-founder.
00:17:37.460 Welcome, Sean.
00:17:38.040 How are you?
00:17:39.420 I'm well.
00:17:39.940 Thank you.
00:17:40.320 Thank you for having me.
00:17:41.200 You bet.
00:17:41.440 So, which is it?
00:17:43.200 Is it disturbing or a big nothing burger?
00:17:47.420 Oh, it's, it's beyond disturbing.
00:17:49.760 It's horrifying.
00:17:51.060 And you make a good point, um, which the, the left-wing media are trying to glom onto.
00:17:56.340 Well, if it's so bad, why were there no prosecutions?
00:17:59.240 Durham actually talks about this in his report.
00:18:02.180 And I'm going to paraphrase him here, but it's that all the cases he was going to bring had to be brought in D.C.
00:18:08.720 because that's where the crimes were perpetrated.
00:18:10.240 You're not getting a fair trial or a jury of your peers in D.C.
00:18:15.440 D.C. is, uh, uniformly left-wing, went 95% for Democrats.
00:18:20.560 And in political cases, which this clearly was, they're, they're going to vote the way they would vote at the ballot box in the voting booth, not based on what the facts and the law are.
00:18:30.780 That's a real problem because we have all of these important cases of corruption are going to have to be tried in D.C.
00:18:39.460 How do you solve that?
00:18:42.080 I actually think it's super easy.
00:18:44.320 You know, the founders, they didn't want D.C. to be a state because they didn't want this district that houses the entire federal government to be able to hold the federal government hostage and get what it wants.
00:18:53.680 We actually have that now, regardless of whether D.C. is technically a state or not.
00:18:58.620 I think you have to completely get rid of the D.C. trial court and the D.C. circuit court, and you have to farm out these types of cases randomly to field offices and U.S. attorneys throughout the country.
00:19:11.560 Get rid of D.C. being able to control what happens in these cases and send these cases to Nebraska, Texas, Tennessee, Idaho.
00:19:21.060 100%.
00:19:21.780 100%.
00:19:23.280 You're right.
00:19:23.780 So, Sean, they show that the FBI knew, the CIA knew the former president, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden.
00:19:39.120 They all knew that Clinton, they even had a name for it, the Clinton investigative project or something.
00:19:48.220 They knew that she, early in the summer, had made the decision to try to tie Donald Trump to Russia.
00:19:56.540 So, they knew that, and they were, they, she was doing it to get people off of her trail for the, the emails that were on her server.
00:20:08.360 And they, the FBI didn't do anything on that.
00:20:11.440 And then when they got the documents that they knew were from her team, they knew there was nothing in that, but they launched this investigation and then started leaking these things to the media.
00:20:24.760 How is this not massive election interference?
00:20:30.240 It's 100% election interference.
00:20:33.020 And I'll tell you, we've, we've been hearing about Watergate ad nauseum for about 50 years now.
00:20:39.200 This makes Watergate look like child's play.
00:20:43.100 It does.
00:20:44.280 Watergate was a two-bit break-in that happened once at a party headquarters.
00:20:48.300 This was an entire coordinated effort across the whole of the U.S. government, the intel community, the CIA, the FBI, that was perpetrated against a political campaign, against a president, and against the American people who elected him.
00:21:03.580 Everyone involved should be in prison.
00:21:05.980 Everyone.
00:21:06.380 I mean, this, this is so much bigger than Watergate and so much more destructive because we now know with complete certainty that the FBI itself is not a law enforcement organization.
00:21:19.080 It is a vassal for the Democrat Party, and it exists to do nothing other than what the Democrat Party wants.
00:21:25.200 And I would say the CIA and all of the intelligence agencies are on that same track, if not leading it.
00:21:34.040 I mean, look at what they did with Hunter Biden.
00:21:37.200 The next election, they already plant, they have the laptop, and they know about it.
00:21:44.260 And then our intelligence community meets with social media and says, you know, they're going to probably come out with something on Hunter Biden, but be careful, be careful, because Russian disinformation.
00:21:55.620 And then they knowingly, to help the Biden campaign, they write something that was written with their understanding that it was to be used to help Biden win at a debate.
00:22:09.760 I mean, it was a former acting director of the CIA who put that letter together, but it's actually even worse than what you described.
00:22:18.740 We broke a story last week based on evidence that congressional investigators have in the weaponization committee that the CIA itself was soliciting signatures for that letter, which they all knew was a lie.
00:22:32.580 The FBI had that laptop for a year.
00:22:34.940 They had gotten it a year prior pursuant to a federal grand jury subpoena.
00:22:38.640 So they all knew it was a lie.
00:22:40.960 But I think it's important that we don't forget that these are not recent misdeeds by the FBI.
00:22:46.700 It's not like this was a glittering organization until a couple years ago.
00:22:50.560 They were conceived in shenanigans.
00:22:52.980 Their building is named after J. Edgar Hoover, a guy who's known for blackmailing members of Congress to get the way he wants.
00:22:59.660 This agency is irreparable.
00:23:03.660 Oh, so you're one of the extremists that want to fire the FBI.
00:23:08.640 Want us to be without any policemen on the streets.
00:23:11.800 Wow.
00:23:13.380 That's what they say, Sean.
00:23:15.380 It is.
00:23:16.300 I will say that's not quite accurate.
00:23:19.000 I also want to get rid of the CIA and all of the other three-letter agencies.
00:23:23.960 So do I.
00:23:24.960 To declare war against the American public.
00:23:26.880 Yeah.
00:23:27.100 You know, we survived for, what, 200 years, 150 years without a corrupt FBI rigging elections.
00:23:33.180 I think maybe we should go back to that.
00:23:34.660 Yeah.
00:23:35.340 So, Sean, what do we do?
00:23:39.500 Because I don't think anyone is going to jail for this.
00:23:44.020 We had the IRS on Monday fire everyone that could have been the whistleblower.
00:23:51.560 Just fired the entire team that's been looking into the tax fraud from Hunter Biden.
00:23:59.200 That sounds like retaliation.
00:24:01.400 How do we stop it when the Justice Department has to be the ones to prosecute and you're doing it in D.C.?
00:24:10.220 Can the Republicans do anything?
00:24:13.980 That's such a good question.
00:24:15.940 And I think it comes back down to Congress having to once again do its job.
00:24:21.360 Over the past 30, 40 years, Congress has really enjoyed outsourcing all of its actual duties under the Constitution to the administration, to the executive branch.
00:24:30.260 They like this because they don't have any more accountability anymore.
00:24:33.420 They just get to go out and play politics and blame the executive branch.
00:24:37.400 It's time for them to take back their Article I authority and actually do oversight.
00:24:41.840 All these agencies exist at the pleasure of Congress.
00:24:45.460 They exist because Congress funds them and Congress created them.
00:24:48.620 And I would say it is long past time for Republicans to get a spine and to get some intestinal fortitude and do their jobs and rein in these agencies, if not defund them entirely.
00:24:59.460 So can they do that without a budget?
00:25:03.900 Absolutely.
00:25:04.880 The power of the purse is absolute.
00:25:07.180 Article I, Section 9.
00:25:08.400 It's just so many of these guys are afraid of their own shadows.
00:25:11.420 They don't want to do anything that anyone in the media might characterize as mean or harsh.
00:25:16.200 Oh, man, we are just, where are the, where are the winter patriots?
00:25:24.680 Where are they?
00:25:26.860 Sean, thank you so much.
00:25:28.220 I appreciate it.
00:25:29.060 We'll be looking forward to more from you at the Federalist, which is a great, great website.
00:25:36.180 You put something really tremendous together.
00:25:39.520 So thanks for that.
00:25:40.640 Well, thank you, sir.
00:25:41.320 You bet.
00:25:41.600 Sean Davis from the Federalist, the co-founder and CEO.
00:25:50.780 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:25:55.100 So where do we start?
00:25:56.440 Where do we start?
00:25:57.100 Where do we start?
00:25:57.660 Well, let me get, let me get the bad news in and then give you sugar. 1.00
00:26:00.260 Okay.
00:26:00.640 Let me give you some.
00:26:01.880 And this isn't necessarily bad news because our Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve say this is absolutely untrue.
00:26:09.960 So it is a conspiracy theory, I'm sure.
00:26:16.360 Weiss Ratings, the nation's only independent ratings agency that regularly evaluates the relative safety of U.S. banks and credit unions, has made an announcement.
00:26:29.820 Now, so you know, you may not know Weiss Ratings, since 2008, there have been 539 banks that have failed.
00:26:40.620 Weiss Ratings, because they check on them regularly and do stress tests on them, they provided advance warning on 535 of them or 99.3%.
00:26:54.880 That's it, just the 99.
00:26:56.640 So they missed a full 0.7%.
00:26:59.080 Yes, yes.
00:26:59.540 But we have the Fed who is all on top of it and, you know, they knew things like inflation is transitory.
00:27:06.500 So you can go to them.
00:27:08.100 Now, here's the announcement.
00:27:09.600 They have warned that only 4,243 banks could be vulnerable to failure.
00:27:17.680 Now, I want you to hear this whole thing out.
00:27:20.860 4,200.
00:27:21.880 I know, that sounds bad.
00:27:23.360 It does.
00:27:23.960 Okay, it sounds bad.
00:27:24.920 But you're really looking at 1,210 institutions or 12.8 that have now red warning flags signaling a risk of imminent failure.
00:27:39.920 12.8% of our banking?
00:27:42.120 Yeah.
00:27:42.400 Well, it's not 4,243.
00:27:47.040 No, it's not 42%.
00:27:48.540 Yeah, no, it's 1,210 banks.
00:27:53.560 I'm trying to understand it.
00:27:54.840 So they're saying 1,200 banks have a red flag that signifies imminent risk.
00:28:02.740 No, no, no.
00:28:03.360 Imminent failure.
00:28:05.100 I thought you said imminent risk of failure.
00:28:07.060 A signaling risk.
00:28:08.880 Oh, yeah, you're right.
00:28:09.600 Of imminent failure.
00:28:10.500 Risk of imminent failure.
00:28:11.680 Okay, so not guaranteed, but imminent means very soon and probable.
00:28:17.120 Yeah, probable.
00:28:17.620 Okay.
00:28:18.220 Now, the 3,043 banks, they only got a yellow warning flag.
00:28:24.680 Okay, that's good.
00:28:25.280 And they say-
00:28:26.020 What does that mean?
00:28:26.580 They're only at risk of failure in some sort of a financial crisis or a recession.
00:28:33.120 You mean if like 1,243 banks fail?
00:28:36.420 It could.
00:28:36.920 That type of situation?
00:28:37.460 I mean, you could look at it that way.
00:28:39.640 Okay.
00:28:40.020 In sum, 45% of all banks and credit unions are deemed vulnerable.
00:28:44.820 That's not even half.
00:28:52.680 Conspiracies.
00:28:53.260 Right.
00:28:53.520 How many banks do we need? 0.65
00:28:55.200 Right?
00:28:55.780 What about having just one?
00:28:57.080 Right.
00:28:57.540 You know, that would make it so much easier.
00:28:58.880 Yeah.
00:28:59.220 Hey, have you heard that the ESG things, they're falling apart?
00:29:04.000 Yeah.
00:29:05.860 It's weird when you make like half the amount of money on your investments that everybody
00:29:12.720 else is making.
00:29:14.180 You know, it's weird how fast people are like, uh, I think I want out of this.
00:29:18.480 I think I, because I think there's been a lot of conservative pushback on this stuff led
00:29:23.220 by, uh, you know, you largely, uh, I'm talking about all of these ESG, uh, you know, uh, all
00:29:30.480 the negatives of the ESG situation.
00:29:32.200 But I think like, in some ways, I'm, I hope that what you just said is true and that people
00:29:38.360 are just looking at it, realizing it's worse.
00:29:41.380 It's, they're not even performing well and are abandoning it on themselves.
00:29:44.420 It's not as political thing, right?
00:29:45.640 They're abandoning it because it doesn't work.
00:29:47.780 Correct.
00:29:48.080 That's even better.
00:29:48.880 That is better.
00:29:49.500 Then, then, then just proving to them that it's a bad idea.
00:29:52.600 Let's just remember that those people still have power that came up with that really bad
00:29:58.560 idea that cost you money.
00:30:00.280 But usually when, I mean, who knows, right?
00:30:02.120 We know this isn't always the case, but usually when you introduce a new product, let's say,
00:30:06.920 and it fails, you don't typically get rewarded for that.
00:30:10.600 And I hope that the markets do send a signal there.
00:30:13.500 It's exactly like, you know, if you are doing crack cocaine on the, you know, and you're
00:30:20.900 smoking it and snorting coke on the belly of a hooker, you generally don't get rewarded 0.93
00:30:26.060 for that.
00:30:27.280 But Hunter Biden.
00:30:28.860 Oh, we were talking about Hunter Biden that time.
00:30:30.700 Yes, I agree with your analysis of Hunter Biden.
00:30:34.040 Okay.
00:30:34.380 Now here comes some sugar.
00:30:36.620 Now I'm going to start slow because I don't want to give you a sugar high because that'll 1.00
00:30:39.320 just wear it, you know, wear off quickly.
00:30:41.220 So let me give you just a little dose of sugar here. 1.00
00:30:43.500 Um, the anarchist is a, uh, is a restaurant in Toronto, Canada, and it touted itself as
00:30:55.440 anti-capitalist, anti-colonial cafe shop and radical community space on stolen land.
00:31:04.420 That's a long, that's a big sign.
00:31:06.680 It's a big, it's a big sign.
00:31:08.560 How many forests had to die for that?
00:31:11.140 The wood of that sign.
00:31:12.160 Anti-capitalist, anti-colonial cafe shop and radical community space on stolen land.
00:31:19.920 The anarchist.
00:31:22.200 Well, here's what they did.
00:31:24.000 And this was a brilliant idea.
00:31:25.580 They sold at a profit, uh, anti-Israeli literature, t-shirts depicting police being hung, propaganda
00:31:32.780 pieces promoting, uh, LGBT terrorism, um, and, uh, you know, some other, uh, inciting materials.
00:31:41.940 Um, and then they peddled, you know, bigotry and, and, and everything else on their Instagram
00:31:47.040 page.
00:31:47.720 And here's the thing, uh, you know, they're, they're good people, uh, you know, they, they
00:31:53.420 posted, uh, wishing the Pope, the Catholic clergy and the Canadian government, um, the
00:31:59.260 centuries of suffering and death that they've given the world.
00:32:02.120 So I, I think that's good.
00:32:04.000 The hashtag was burn every church, hail Satan and decolonize.
00:32:09.440 So they're nice people just running a community place.
00:32:14.960 And they were, they're, they feel for the average person.
00:32:18.880 They said, look, you just pay when you can.
00:32:21.000 Okay.
00:32:21.940 You pay what you can afford, pay what you can.
00:32:24.740 And, uh, what's really, uh, surprising is, um, they're out of business.
00:32:31.800 So end of that story.
00:32:34.920 Now, um, capitalism always wins.
00:32:37.540 Well, does it Miller light?
00:32:39.500 You would think has given as, as, has been awake or let me say, have not been in a coma
00:32:50.880 for the last month or so.
00:32:54.280 I would think, but I don't know how much of their products they've consumed, but right.
00:32:58.500 Likely they've been, I think it would take a medical coma to not know what's happened to
00:33:04.220 Bud Light.
00:33:04.800 It's been an incredible gift to them.
00:33:06.740 Yes.
00:33:07.180 There's skyrockets and Bud loses its number one status.
00:33:13.760 Okay.
00:33:14.240 Big news.
00:33:15.220 Yes.
00:33:15.320 If you're in the beer industry.
00:33:16.960 Right.
00:33:17.540 Well, they have put together a new, uh, a new ad and, um, can, can, can we, uh, can we
00:33:25.140 play the ad please?
00:33:26.600 Here's a little known fact.
00:33:28.180 Women were among the very first to brew beer ever from Mesopotamia to the middle ages to 0.98
00:33:33.700 colonial America.
00:33:34.740 Women were the ones doing the brewing. 1.00
00:33:36.560 Centuries later, how did the industry pay homage to the founding mothers of beer?
00:33:41.500 They put us in bikinis. 0.96
00:33:43.380 Yes.
00:33:44.500 Wow.
00:33:46.600 No, wait.
00:33:47.440 You just took the bikini later.
00:33:48.700 Look at this.
00:33:50.100 Wild.
00:33:51.100 It's time beer made it up to women. 1.00
00:33:52.940 So today, Miller Lite is on a mission to clean up not just their shit, but the whole beer
00:33:56.360 industry's shit.
00:33:57.360 Oh.
00:33:58.280 Miller Lite has been scouring the internet for all this shit and buying it back so that
00:34:02.300 he can turn it into good shit for women brewers. 1.00
00:34:04.500 Literally, good shit.
00:34:06.800 How, you ass? 1.00
00:34:07.680 Stop.
00:34:08.320 Okay.
00:34:08.620 Oh, God.
00:34:09.000 It's so stupid.
00:34:09.760 It's so stupid.
00:34:10.640 I can't.
00:34:10.820 I can't.
00:34:12.160 I can't take it.
00:34:13.520 Uh, first of all, uh, that was a very nice poster that she took down and shredded. 0.88
00:34:18.820 Yeah.
00:34:19.100 And I don't appreciate that.
00:34:20.000 And just to give you some science behind it, there's absolutely no way you're getting
00:34:24.620 more benefit out of shredding a document, then I guess turning it into some sort of fertilizer
00:34:31.380 for beer, then the electricity used to just shred the document.
00:34:36.060 Like, there's no way that's a worthwhile transaction.
00:34:39.280 No, it's good for the, oh, it's good for everything.
00:34:42.560 I would also like to point out, now this came out before Bud Light.
00:34:49.040 Right.
00:34:49.280 Uh, and then it, you know, it kind of went away.
00:34:52.520 And here's my thing.
00:34:56.080 What were you doing for the last month if not trying to make sure that never saw the
00:35:04.440 light of day again?
00:35:06.660 Right.
00:35:06.940 They've been deleted off.
00:35:08.060 It should have been deleted off the YouTube page.
00:35:10.180 Oh, I mean.
00:35:10.620 Right.
00:35:11.780 If I'm Miller, I go and see if we can buy an EMP to shut down and erase and fry.
00:35:19.040 Buy all the chips.
00:35:20.000 So, uh, you know, they say the internet is forever.
00:35:22.820 Hmm.
00:35:23.920 Not with an EMP.
00:35:25.080 Do you want to be like a future draftee of the NFL deleting your old tweets?
00:35:29.700 That's what you want to be.
00:35:30.520 Yeah.
00:35:30.740 You want to be hiding your history.
00:35:33.000 Because you're right.
00:35:33.700 This has been a huge boom to Miller Lite and Coors Lite and all these other brands that
00:35:38.420 are not Bud Light as they've cut their sales by 25% or whatever the current number is.
00:35:44.300 It was up as high as 25.
00:35:46.360 Um, and so they come out with this, which is just, again, it goes on to tell you that
00:35:50.860 they're going to take the, they, they literally claim, and I can't imagine this is true, but
00:35:56.780 they claim at Miller Lite, they're going on like, I guess, eBay and buying up old cardboard
00:36:02.520 cutouts of bikini models for beer ads and then having them sent to them, which again,
00:36:08.660 all of the emissions and all the other stuff associated with this is just a side hustle
00:36:12.640 here, but it goes all the way to them.
00:36:14.600 Then they're taking it and they're composting it, shredding it and composting it, and then
00:36:19.280 using it, transporting it to somewhere else again, where there it's going to make beer
00:36:23.640 that's going to be transported somewhere else.
00:36:25.640 Ah, there's nothing better than cardboard beer.
00:36:27.800 I'll tell you that right now.
00:36:29.040 Right.
00:36:29.520 If you can take that and mix it with some crap and you just let it steam in a pile for
00:36:35.700 a while.
00:36:36.200 That's the original formula for Miller Lite.
00:36:37.740 You mix it into the, may I just say, so what you're saying is that men said horrible things
00:36:47.720 and took horrible pictures of women to sell beer.
00:36:51.500 Yep.
00:36:51.860 So you're now making that up by saying horrible things about men to sell women beer.
00:36:59.640 And also I will say, can I point out horrible things about women? 1.00
00:37:02.880 You're saying horrible things about women here as well, because what you're doing is denying
00:37:06.860 their agency to live their lives.
00:37:08.800 You see, men didn't put women in bikinis. 1.00
00:37:13.560 What happened is individual women sent in their headshots and body shots to try out, to 1.00
00:37:21.020 attempt to get the jobs.
00:37:23.040 This woman in a sweater is now criticizing. 1.00
00:37:27.140 By the way, I don't know if you've noticed this, Glenn.
00:37:28.720 They treat these women as so much.
00:37:31.620 They've taken their agency so much in this ad.
00:37:34.540 They have actually blurred out their faces in the ad.
00:37:39.000 I don't know if you noticed that.
00:37:40.060 The bikini picture, because you weren't looking at her face in the bikini picture.
00:37:43.020 The bikini picture.
00:37:44.600 Did you find that out through Lisa?
00:37:46.980 I had to watch it like 46 times and eventually, oh my God, their faces are gone.
00:37:51.000 But these are individual women who made individual decisions based on what they wanted to do. 1.00
00:37:57.440 Now, we can be critical of that as a career goal.
00:38:02.020 But if you're a model getting into a national ad campaign, probably a big deal, probably
00:38:08.680 something you're proud of.
00:38:10.000 But this woman in a sweater says you shouldn't be proud of it. 0.95
00:38:12.940 In fact, it wasn't even you doing it.
00:38:15.300 Men put you in the bikinis. 0.99
00:38:17.620 Well, I have to tell you, I like the fact that she looks like mom because I've wanted
00:38:24.220 my mother to make all of the choices in my life.
00:38:27.620 Yeah.
00:38:28.400 And that can just keep going on.
00:38:29.900 Na, na, na, na.
