The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Alan Dershowitz & Rep. Greg Steube ｜ 7⧸27⧸23

00:00:00.000 Big program for you today on the podcast. We have Julie Kelly talking a little bit about

00:00:04.780 some new evidence from January 6th that kind of helps the story for the left unravel just a bit.

00:00:13.520 Also, Alan Dershowitz joins me. What happened yesterday with the judge and Hunter Biden?

00:00:19.080 It's good. He said that it was good for the Constitution and a good thing. I said,

00:00:25.320 maybe, I mean, I think there's a chance that maybe, and he said, don't get too excited. Don't get too

00:00:30.780 excited. We also talked to Greg Stubbe, the congressman from Florida, who is talking about

00:00:38.020 impeachment in the House. And we told you some rather disturbing things that are happening around

00:00:46.740 the country that people are being silenced, including Jordan Peterson in a truly 1984 sort

00:00:56.160 of way. All that on today's podcast brought to you by Sweatblock. Sweatblock is this amazing

00:01:58.320 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:04.580 Alan Dershowitz is joining us now, Harvard Law School professor emeritus, and the host of The

00:02:11.800 Dershow, and don't forget the author of Get Trump. Alan Dershowitz, how are you, sir?

00:02:19.540 I am doing great. The judge did the right thing yesterday, and guess who predicted it? I predicted

00:02:25.960 over and over again that he would not accept this plea bargain. Of course, CNN said, of course,

00:02:32.480 she has to accept the plea bargain. What are you talking about? It's Dershowitz again. He's

00:02:36.160 saying all kinds of things. Well, you know, CNN always gets it wrong because their predictions

00:02:41.360 are based always on wishful thinking. They wanted the judge to accept the plea deal, so they said

00:02:47.440 she would. I'm not any smarter than the people on CNN. I just don't allow my preferences to influence

00:02:55.040 my predictions. My predictions are based on my 60 years of experience with the law, and I saw deep flaws

00:03:01.520 in this plea bargain, and I said, and I said it over and over again, she wouldn't, and she shouldn't

00:03:07.940 accept this plea bargain, and she didn't.

00:03:11.640 How brave of that was this, Alan?

00:03:15.980 Pretty brave. Pretty brave. You know, she gets flack because she was a so-called Trump appointee, 0.93

00:03:22.000 but she wasn't a Trump appointee. As you know, the way judges get appointed, when you have two senators 0.98

00:03:27.680 in the state from a different party, the senators basically make the decision. Now, the president can

00:03:33.660 veto it, but she was essentially appointed by the two Democratic senators and Trump alike. So,

00:03:40.700 you know, she's a young and courageous woman. Both sides wanted this deal to go through.

00:03:48.400 The Justice Department wanted their kind of secret deal. We never saw the plea bargain. We never saw

00:03:53.020 what was entailed. I just smelled a rat, but we didn't see it. And she said, no, no, no, wait a minute.

00:03:59.620 Does this plea bargain mean he can't ever be investigated again for other crimes? You know,

00:04:04.880 and we don't know whether the investigation was limited to Delaware, the smallest state in the union.

00:04:09.980 Oh, whether Weiss, David Weiss was allowed to go to the District of Columbia, allowed to go to Los

00:04:15.620 Angeles, to Ukraine, to China, to follow the money. And if he wasn't, the plea bargain should never be

00:04:21.700 accepted. So she kind of delayed it. She said, until you to clear this up, I'm not going to hear it.

00:04:31.900 But one of the problems I thought she had was, there was no adversarial feeling between the two

00:04:39.900 parties. You know, for our system to work, it has to be adversarial. Doesn't mean it needs to be nasty,

00:04:45.780 but adversarial. One side is pushing for the law, the other one is pushing for the client.

00:04:50.160 And they didn't have this. They got into this deal together.

00:04:56.440 And they should have had a third party, whether in the form of an amicus brief, a friend of the

00:05:03.220 court brief. Somebody should have said, we're there on behalf of the American people. Justice

00:05:08.360 must not only be done, it must seem to be done. You know, the Bible in the book of Deuteronomy

00:05:14.900 instructs judges and says two things to them. Number one, don't take bribes. That's obvious. But

00:05:20.040 that's the second. The first one is, lo takir panim. That's the Hebrew for don't recognize faces.

00:05:28.500 Don't do justice based on who the person is. That's the origin of the famous statue of justice

00:05:35.980 with the blindfold. It's not Greek literature. It's the Bible that says, be blindfolded. Don't look at

00:05:42.560 race. Don't look at class. Don't look at gender. Don't look at politics. Don't even look at the person.

00:05:49.380 Don't peek under the blindfold. Do justice based only on the law and the facts. It has to be the

00:05:55.780 same justice administered to everybody. And that's a biblical command going back how many thousands

00:06:01.980 of years? And the judge finally did that. We are so lost. This actually gave a lot of people a lot

00:06:10.100 of hope. Because unlike CNN, I just assumed from the way things are always going now that it was going

00:06:18.560 to go through. And it didn't. And that gave me a hope that, wait, there is some independence here.

00:06:25.120 There are some people that understand the rule of law. And gave me a great deal of hope. What does

00:06:30.700 it mean going forward? Well, I would say it gave me a little bit of hope. I think you have too much

00:06:36.700 hope. I think she will ultimately accept the deal. She will eventually accept the deal with a few

00:06:42.940 modifications. What they'll agree to is, no, he can't be prosecuted for any other crimes unless

00:06:49.600 the evidence was not available now, or he tried to suppress it, or the crimes are very serious. But

00:06:56.040 there'll be an agreement. And I think she'll accept the agreement. I don't think she should,

00:07:00.440 but I think she will. She should call Garland. She should call Weiss, put them under oath and say,

00:07:06.280 look, Garland, you say he had the authority to investigate anywhere in the country, including

00:07:12.080 District of Columbia and Los Angeles. He says no. He was restricted to Delaware. Who is right? I have

00:07:20.000 to know that before I accept the deal. That's what she should do. I suspect she won't do that.

00:07:25.020 Why? I think she feels she's done what she has to do. She doesn't have a roving commission to do

00:07:36.640 justice. She has to deal with what are called cases and controversies. And generally, judges just 0.99

00:07:43.260 resolve disputes between the parties. But here, as you said, there are no disputes between the parties.

00:07:49.540 The parties both agree that there should be a plea bargain of this kind, which, if it involves

00:07:57.280 only these two crimes, is not a sweetheart deal. If you only were late in your taxes and didn't fill

00:08:03.640 out a form properly for guns, yeah, that's the right sentence. But if they didn't investigate

00:08:09.480 Burisma, if they didn't investigate what's going on in China, then it's not an appropriate plea bargain,

00:08:15.440 and then it really is a sweetheart deal. So can I ask you, and I'm not asking you,

00:08:21.340 I'm not asking for a legal thing, always innocent until proven guilty, I get. But I'm not saying that

00:08:28.580 the president is guilty. I'm saying it looks really bad for the president. If I were just going on these

00:08:36.200 facts, it has to be investigated properly, not some witch hunt. But this, the evidence that is out

00:08:44.940 is a little overwhelming. It's much more than I think we had on Nixon. It's a little overwhelming,

00:08:52.860 and it's beyond Nixon. To me, Nixon was a break-up, you know, break-in. It was the cover-up that was

00:09:01.020 the real problem. Here, we not only have an extensive cover-up, but we might also have taking

00:09:08.940 money from foreign adversaries. This is really bad. Am I reading this wrong?

00:09:15.720 No, you're reading the evidence that's been offered correctly. What we don't know is whether

00:09:23.420 it's true. You know, whistleblowers, just because they're whistleblowers doesn't mean they're telling

00:09:28.080 you the truth. And so the issue was Joe Biden sitting next to Hunter Biden when he made that

00:09:35.920 threatening, extortionate demand. We have to find that out. Was he on the phone 10 times?

00:09:42.620 Are there recordings? I mean, if I'm the prosecution, I don't tell the other side whether

00:09:47.940 there are any recordings. Let them testify under oath without knowing whether there are recordings.

00:09:53.220 That's the best way of getting the truth. If you don't know whether there's a recording,

00:09:57.220 you're going to tell the truth. If you know there's no recording, well, you know,

00:10:01.280 you can remember things in an innocent way. You can't do that if you believe there's a recording.

00:10:06.080 And I don't know whether there's a recording. And I don't know whether or not they think there's

00:10:10.580 a recording on the Biden side. So there's a lot of investigation that has to be done.

00:10:16.440 Would you agree that we are at least, I mean, the New York Times and CNN and everybody else still

00:10:21.780 saying, there's nothing here. Why are we even talking about this? Maybe you're right. I was like

00:10:28.300 this with Donald Trump. I was willing to investigate. I want to know what happened.

00:10:32.920 I want a real investigation. You would agree that the New York Times and all those guys are wrong

00:10:39.720 by saying there's nothing here? Yeah, except there's nothing new about that. The New York

00:10:45.400 Times and CNN on these issues have been wrong from the very beginning. Look, there's one word to

00:10:52.560 generalize about most Americans, Republicans, Democrats, liberals, conservatives, Christians,

00:10:58.140 Jews, Muslims. It's skepticism. Prove it. Show me. I'm not sure. That's the American way. We don't 0.90

00:11:07.320 accept things because somebody said it, whether it's because the president of the United States

00:11:12.460 said it or a whistleblower said it. Show me the facts. What we need is a special counsel appointed,

00:11:19.840 and it has to be appointed with the coordination of Republicans and Democrats alike. It has to be

00:11:25.440 somebody who is above reproach, perhaps a former Supreme Court justice, a former president of a

00:11:30.820 university, somebody who can really look into this, who doesn't care, has no horse in the race,

00:11:38.640 doesn't have an interest in a particular outcome. And that's what we haven't had up to now.

00:11:43.980 More on the impeachment of Joe Biden and what happened yesterday with his son Hunter from

00:11:55.960 Representative Greg Stubbe from Florida. We do that coming up in in just a second. Stand by first.

00:12:02.080 I want to take you back to January 6th and the police officer that was was brutally beaten. In fact,

00:12:09.880 here are a couple of interviews with him right after January 6th. I got her. I got her.

00:12:23.920 I will do it again if I have to. It's my job. It was very scary because I thought I was going to

00:12:31.880 lose my life. When I came in, she wanted to hug me. And I told her, no, because I was covered.

00:12:46.660 I was covered in pepper spray. My hands were bleeding still.

00:12:50.980 And I even, I couldn't even sleep because I went, took a shower. And instead of helping

00:13:01.500 that, re-inflamed the chemicals. It had soaked through your clothes.

00:13:06.820 Yes. Took a bath of milk. That didn't help.

00:13:11.760 Hmm. Wow. Here's another cut.

00:13:16.000 I too was being crushed by the other rioters. I could feel my, myself losing oxygen and recall

00:13:23.500 thinking to myself, this is how I'm going to die, defending this entrance.

00:13:30.460 Stop. I, that is pretty hard to hear. Pretty hard to hear. Now, Julie Kelly is a journalist and

00:13:40.900 she's been given analysis and commentary related to the weaponization of the U.S. Department of

00:13:48.040 Justice. She writes on the substack, declassified with Julie Kelly. She also is giving us some really

00:13:55.160 unique looks at January 6th and the pending criminal indictments of Donald Trump. And Julie has just

00:14:01.900 tweeted out earlier this week that that story doesn't seem to fit. Do I have that right, Julie?

00:14:09.100 You do have that right, Glenn. And thank you so much for having me on and sharing my work.

00:14:16.240 So, Officer Equilino Ganel, who you heard there, his sob story, has been one of what I call January 6th

00:14:23.360 celebrity cops. So, he was one of four police officers, security guards, who testified during the

00:14:30.300 very first January 6th select committee televised hearing. The idea of that hearing was to make it

00:14:37.140 sound like Trump supporters tried to kill police officers that day. And Ganel has been, now for

00:14:43.600 two and a half years, telling his sob story, his near-death experience, that he almost died.

00:14:49.660 Injuries to his head, his hands, his shoulder, that his foot was crushed. Well, footage that was

00:14:56.360 obtained by Joe Hanneman at Epoch Times, I have to credit him, when I was looking at his coverage of what

00:15:02.680 happened, actually happened to Roseanne Boylan. The first person who popped up, in my view, was

00:15:08.980 Officer Ganel. And so, I zoomed in. It's like, well, I can't believe this is him. And there he is for

00:15:15.120 seven minutes, as I have in my piece and on Twitter, walking around, no indication of any injury,

00:15:21.720 no sign of pain. He's actually kicking things aside with his feet. His hands are visible. There's no

00:15:28.640 bleeding. There's no abrasions on his hands. His shoulders, both shoulders are mobile. He's taking

00:15:34.840 off gear. He's bending up and down. He's moving things around. He's putting on a surgical face mask.

00:15:42.660 No apparent signs of pain or injury for seven minutes. But yet, here he has been a key figure

00:15:48.860 in promoting the idea that police were almost killed on January 6th, and that he was so grievously

00:15:54.600 injured, Glenn, that he had to take a medical leave for at least a year, and then only went

00:16:01.080 back to partial duty due to his injuries and surgery he claimed that he had because of those injuries.

00:16:09.300 What else do you know about him, Julie?

00:16:14.040 I don't know much. I know he is a veteran. I know he's an immigrant, I believe, from maybe the

00:16:19.020 Dominican Republic. That's really all that I know. But Glenn, I also want to underscore

00:16:25.320 his words and his claims are not without consequence. He has been a government witness

00:16:32.400 in trials of January 6th defendants, where he's taken the stand under oath and talked about his

00:16:38.880 injuries that he suffered. He has filed victim impact statements and sentencing hearings for

00:16:45.380 January 6th defendants, talking about the serious injuries that were inflicted by Trump supporters.

00:16:51.640 And he specifically says Trump supporters. He does not say protesters, rioters, Trump supporters.

00:16:57.700 This has helped judges impose very long, harsh sentences against January 6th defendants.

00:17:06.480 And in fact, Glenn, one federal judge, Trevor McFadden, specifically called out Officer

00:17:11.740 Gunnell, in his testimony in one trial and said that his testimony about his injuries were not

00:17:17.520 credible and that he did not believe when Officer Gunnell said he had been beaten with a stolen baton. 0.95

00:17:23.760 So it's not just that he's talking on, you know, CNN, Jake Tapper, or he's posting this garbage on 0.97

00:17:30.260 Twitter. He is he has said these things under oath, as I said, with with dire consequences for defendants. 0.82

00:17:38.040 Do you know, because I know you've been following all of the cases, and I would assume you know some

00:17:44.400 of the attorneys just by following it. Are they looking into retrying their their cases? I mean,

00:17:54.220 this is information that the government had and didn't release. That seems like a miscarriage of

00:18:01.160 justice. So well said, Glenn. And this has been a criticism of defendants now for more than two

00:18:08.020 years, that this Department of Justice and Capitol Police, by the way, have designated all of this

00:18:13.780 footage as highly sensitive government material. All of it has been under strict protective orders

00:18:19.680 in court. And the government is really only turning over footage to defendants that is case specific.

00:18:26.620 So say in the case of Pat, Pat McCoy, where Gunnell testified, they only saw footage of the

00:18:34.160 defendant, the security video of that particular defendant, they didn't turn over or produce

00:18:41.260 the video of Officer Gunnell. And this is only what we've one clip that we've seen. I'm sure

00:18:46.500 there's other footage of him walking through the Capitol. And keep in mind, this is around five

00:18:50.900 o'clock that day. This isn't before the violence between protesters and police began. This is after it

00:18:57.300 ended. So it's not like he went back to another area of the Capitol and got beaten up by protesters.

00:19:03.260 The building had been evacuated. The grounds were being evacuated. So yes, I believe that the two 1.00

00:19:10.260 defendants where Officer Gunnell testified and filed victim impact statements, they are on appeal. So I'm

00:19:17.820 sure that this footage will be part of their appeal as to what the government was hiding, not just from

00:19:24.300 defense, not just from the public, but from defendants and their attorneys.

00:19:27.600 Right. So the, um, you're, you're following, uh, greatly the weaponization of, uh, of the government,

00:19:35.220 um, hearings that are going on. Do you believe that those move forward, uh, into anything of significance?

00:19:45.340 I'm not sure, Glenn. I was really hoping that there would be a separate January 6th committee.

00:19:54.220 And we really need one for two reasons to expose all of the lies and falsehoods that were promoted by

00:20:00.660 the first select committee. And also to tell the American people the truth to show them this video.

00:20:08.120 I mean, I post this on Twitter and true social, and I post it obviously in my work and, and thanks to

00:20:14.500 interviews like this, it's reaching a broader audience, but they need televised hearings. They

00:20:19.540 need to fight back with what the January 6th select committee, because this is the crux of the

00:20:25.280 weaponization of the department of justice and this administration. This January 6th is ground zero

00:20:32.160 for turning the war on terror that once was against ISIS and Al Qaeda against conservatives,

00:20:40.160 Republicans, Trump supporters. So you can't talk about weaponizing government without fully exposing

00:20:47.380 the truth about January 6th. What the department of justice is doing, concealing evidence, the lies

00:20:53.660 that the Congress has told to the American people and how the FBI is using its counterterrorism unit

00:21:00.200 to continue even this week, Glenn, two and a half years later, arrest people related to even minimal

00:21:09.020 participation in the events of January 6th. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. So, Julie, I think you could make a case

00:21:17.720 that this is even more important than the Hunter and Joe Biden selling their country out for, well, their

00:21:26.240 fellow countrymen. I think they got 30 cents ahead for us. Can you compare the two?

00:21:34.500 I guess, but I would argue that this is more important because everyone sort of knows nothing

00:21:40.340 is really going to happen to Hunter Biden. I think it's extremely useful what James Comer and the

00:21:45.760 Oversight Committee and, of course, the Ways and Means Committee and these courageous whistleblowers from

00:21:49.880 IRS and FBI are talking about with these investigations. But January 6th is it's going to be a key issue in the

00:22:00.340 2024 presidential race. But it is still the Department of Justice is still collecting victims. They're still

00:22:08.040 collecting scouts. And so there's no it is far in my view, of course, far more important.

00:22:15.540 The American people need to know what is happening, not just the Department of Justice, but in this

00:22:20.880 courthouse, which is where Donald Trump's lawyers are today, as Jack Smith is now preparing a multi-count

00:22:27.260 felony criminal indictment against Donald Trump for January 6th and could rope in attorneys, White House

00:22:34.400 officials, and maybe even a few Republican members of the House.

00:22:38.940 This is crazy. Thank you so much for everything that you do. I appreciate that you have just zeroed in on

00:22:46.540 this and not let it go. Julie, thank you. Thanks for having me on Glenn. This is the best of the Glenn

00:22:54.160 Beck program. Pat Gray is with us. And we were just talking as we were getting ready for Greg Stubbe.

00:23:00.400 I think, Pat, that there is hope that this is not going to end well for the Bidens.

00:23:12.060 I'd like to be able to think that. I hope that's true. It's just hard to believe, you know, it's hard

00:23:19.160 to believe because no, I know they've gotten away with this stuff for so long. It's like, OK, they're just

00:23:25.120 they're just they're bulletproof. There's there's a different set of standards for them than us.

00:23:32.720 Listen to CNN last night. Here is the in front of the courthouse. Here's what they were saying.

00:23:40.200 So the judge said that she could not accept the plea agreement as it was structured. Remember,

00:23:44.160 there was a plea agreement where Hunter Biden would plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and then a

00:23:48.140 diversion on a felony gun charge. Well, the judge taking issue with both of them saying that on the

00:23:52.320 plea agreement related to the tax charges, she was saying that she this agreement as structured just

00:23:58.100 had her as what she said, a rubber stamp. It did not allow her to weigh in on whether she thought

00:24:02.660 that the plea was acceptable. She had questions about that and wants both sides to brief her on

00:24:07.780 that. Also on the gun diversion, she had questions about how that deal was structured because it

00:24:12.360 inserted her in the process. If Hunter Biden breached the terms of this agreement and the government

00:24:17.360 had an issue with it, they wanted the judge to act as a neutral arbiter.

00:24:22.320 Okay, so she goes on and on with this. And there's so much more than that. She, the judge said,

00:24:30.560 it looks like you two are cozy. And I've never seen a plea deal like this. And this washes him clean

00:24:38.520 of everything. Is that your understanding? The Biden administration's or the Biden lawyers said,

00:24:45.760 yeah, that's our understanding. And Department of Defense or Department of Justice said, no,

00:24:53.000 no, I don't think so. So is anything going to happen? We have Representative Greg Stubion with us

00:24:59.240 now. He is a congressman from Florida. And he is one of the two that are really pushing to get the

00:25:06.820 House to move to impeach Joe Biden. Hi, Greg, how are you? Hey, good. How are you? Thanks for having

00:25:13.700 me on. You bet. So what is the mood in Congress for these hearings and impeachment?

00:25:23.260 Well, you started to see the speaker actually talk about this, which I think is a great move

00:25:28.420 forward, because a lot of us have been clamoring for impeachment for quite some time. But through these

00:25:33.300 different investigations, all of this evidence now that is mounting evidence after evidence that

00:25:39.160 Joe Biden was involved in the business deals with Hunter Biden, was receiving financial information,

00:25:45.160 oversight committee did subpoenas on the financial information. We're waiting on some of that.

00:25:49.760 But through some of that, we've been able to ascertain that it's like 20 or $30 million that the

00:25:54.920 Biden family has received through four actions that obviously at the time, vice president, but some of

00:26:01.980 these actions he's done while he's been president. Senator Grassley just released a form from the FBI

00:26:07.880 that showed the $5 million payment related to the Ukraine and buriesman issue. I think there's

00:26:14.140 overwhelming evidence, having been a lawyer myself and been a prosecutor in the JAG Corps. So we're

00:26:19.680 actually drafting our own impeachment resolution specifically on bribery crimes, corruption crimes,

00:26:26.080 because in my opinion, there's overwhelming evidence of that now in the public sphere. And we're still

00:26:30.900 doing these investigations. So there'll probably be more to follow.

00:26:36.200 So Greg, I am, I'm with you, I think there is overwhelming evidence. The Nixon trials went,

00:26:46.180 you know, through the first term, into the second, all of the accusations happened in the first term,

00:26:52.220 he was reelected, nobody wanted to talk about impeachment, the Democrats brought the impeachment back

00:26:57.480 up. And it was eventually the turning of some of those Democrats in the Senate that were finally

00:27:04.360 convinced, yeah, he did do this. Do you sense any kind of even softening of the other side on,

00:27:15.280 yeah, I'm not going to say this out loud, but that looks bad.

00:27:18.520 I don't say, you know, you obviously don't see Democrats going on the news and saying that they

00:27:23.920 think that the president should be impeached. But what you're seeing is, and this is kind of

00:27:28.200 shocking to me, frankly, is the mainstream media is actually, for the first time, actually starting

00:27:32.220 to report about these things. They're starting to report about the Hunter Biden issues because it's

00:27:35.760 such a pervasive issue now. And it is so evidentiary apparent that this was going on that they don't

00:27:43.460 have a choice but to report about it. So that's actually putting Democrats in very difficult positions.

00:27:48.520 You've seen the plea deal with Hunter Biden now fall apart. And that isn't about Hunter Biden.

00:27:53.560 That's about the information that can come from all of that, if that goes to trial through discovery,

00:27:59.060 of how Joe Biden's involved in that. You've heard the IRS whistleblowers testify directly. And these

00:28:04.360 are the gentlemen who were part of the team that was investigating Hunter Biden and their foreign

00:28:09.340 business dealings and all these tax issues that specifically said they had evidence that the big guy

00:28:14.920 and Joe Biden was involved and wanted to issue subpoenas and warrants on information and the DOJ shut them

00:28:21.040 down. So as this starts to open up and you get more and more facts and evidence, I don't see how you

00:28:26.360 as a Democrat couldn't at least have an open mind to the fact that you have somebody who used his his

00:28:32.760 position to enrich himself and his family. I haven't heard any of any Democrats talk about that, you know,

00:28:38.920 publicly. But you can certainly see a softening, as you said, from some of the positions that they're

00:28:44.540 taking and them trying to distance themselves from the administration on these issues.

00:28:49.920 Do what is the ramification of impeachment? You know, Donald Trump was impeached twice.

00:28:56.920 But the last one was I mean, I don't even think even anybody even noticed for the most part,

00:29:02.660 except for the mainstream media. What are the ramifications of you guys pushing this through

00:29:08.720 without control of the Senate? Yeah, here's here's the political reality that we currently

00:29:14.320 live in. Even if we're able to pass an impeachment resolution on the House floor, it goes to the

00:29:20.600 Senate and you need 60 votes. So that's why I think the way that House leadership and the Republican

00:29:26.340 leadership of the different committees, there's like three different committees, because there's so

00:29:29.140 many crimes that are being investigated, have doing the investigation to get the evidence before the

00:29:34.660 American people to be able to convince 60 senators that this happened. Here's the evidence that it

00:29:41.100 happened. Here's the specific crimes that were committed and the overwhelming evidence that there

00:29:46.640 were crimes that were committed. And I think that will push members in the Senate to be like, look,

00:29:52.000 regardless of party affiliation, you can't allow somebody to use their position to be bribed that is

00:29:58.820 affecting national security, to be corrupted where they're getting financial benefit from being in

00:30:04.260 office. So hopefully we will do a good enough job in the House laying all this evidence out before

00:30:09.920 the American people and the senators. And they'll see when we preside our case, if we can get it past

00:30:14.660 the House, that there were crimes that were committed and there needs to be ramifications for that

00:30:19.780 crime. I mean, the Democrats impeached Trump for a phone call to a foreign leader. And in my opinion,

00:30:25.040 this goes way beyond Watergate of the of the things that we have evidence of now.

00:30:30.480 I think this is the most dangerous corruption I have seen in an Oval Office. And you know, I know

00:30:37.980 the history of our country and Grant and everything else. And this is the most dangerous because it is

00:30:45.200 not just a cover up. It's not a small crime. This is a high crime. If you are selling access to your

00:30:54.200 office as vice president or president, that is a high crime. Plus, with that, you have all kinds

00:31:02.320 of other things. Because he is has been able to cover this up. He has the Justice Department

00:31:10.940 part of this deal. Now that goes to then all of the weaponization of government. I mean,

00:31:18.680 this is huge and never ending. Yeah, I mean, you think about, you know, why would Merrick Garland

00:31:26.020 play defense in the Department of Defense, Director Wray and the FBI by stalling and stonewalling

00:31:32.600 all of these different investigations all to protect Joe Biden and the things that have happened. I mean,

00:31:38.200 some of these go back to 2014. Some of these go back to I'm sure if you kept digging even more,

00:31:43.620 probably when he was in the US Senate. And as you get more facts and evidence, why would Merrick

00:31:49.120 Garland, Director Wray, why would these other individuals put their lives on the line? And I

00:31:55.060 wholeheartedly believe that both of them are obstructing the administration of justice by not

00:32:01.740 allowing the investigations to move forward the way they should be moving forward. I mean, if this was

00:32:06.520 Trump or myself or any other Republican member of Congress or any conservative, I'd have been in

00:32:12.800 prison a long time ago, we would have committed these crimes. And so I have been, I would have

00:32:17.740 been for it, Greg. I mean, if you do this, I mean, I was open to listen to the case. You know,

00:32:26.080 we did our own homework. And I told my, my staff, I'm not looking to exonerate Donald Trump. I'm

00:32:32.960 looking to find the truth. Because if he did things that he wasn't supposed to, we have to stand for

00:32:40.100 impeachment. The same thing. I, we've looked into this with Biden, and we have enough documents,

00:32:46.960 I think, to impeach. We've looked into it, and it wasn't to get him out. It was, let's find out what

00:32:54.740 really happened here. And you have to impeach. Otherwise, otherwise, you're not asking any honest

00:33:03.640 questions in life. You're just looking for something to guarantee that things continue to

00:33:09.580 roll your way. Yeah. And not just the impeachment, but just take it a step farther. The corruption

00:33:15.200 of the money that was paid by our number one national security threat to the safety and security

00:33:20.940 of the American people, the Chinese Communist Party, was paying him off. And he is now the president, 0.90

00:33:26.480 the commander in chief of the military. And he's making decisions based on the compromising,

00:33:31.300 corrupt behavior that he has had in the past. And why did he let a spy balloon traverse over the

00:33:36.400 entire United States before they shot it down? After it had collected all the intel at nuclear

00:33:41.080 sites, military bases, you have a corrupt president who we now have evidence that he has received money

00:33:48.800 and his family has received money from the Chinese Communist Party. And it's affecting the national

00:33:53.960 security of America. So you've got that. You not only have that, you also have Ukraine.

00:34:04.120 He was wildly corrupt in Ukraine. Yeah. Yeah. But we're sending billions of dollars and we're

00:34:11.740 talking about going to war. He's compromised. What are we thinking? This is so dangerous.

00:34:18.420 100%. Greg, thank you. Thank you for standing up for this. Go ahead.

00:34:23.620 Well, I would just say, and we in Congress, especially on the Republican side, have asked

00:34:27.540 for information of where this money to Ukraine has gone, because there is no guardrails when

00:34:32.580 the Democrats were in control of the hundred and I think it's $20 billion that we've sent to Ukraine

00:34:37.300 of where that money is going and the accountability of where that taxpayer dollars have gone. And you

00:34:42.080 can't tell me that the Bidens or some other people or there's corrupt entities that are getting

00:34:47.640 money on that on the back end when they're refusing to have accountability of where that money is

00:34:51.420 being spent. Of course. Of course. I bet you 30% of it, maybe 30% of it actually got to where it was

00:35:00.600 supposed to go. Congressman Greg Stubbe, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Thank you.

00:35:06.700 Thank you. You bet. Greg Stubbe from Florida.

00:35:09.480 Na, na, na, na.
