The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Alex Newman & Janice Dean ｜ 6⧸12⧸24

00:00:00.000 We talked to a lot of experts today about the things that you might be talking about,

00:00:04.100 for instance, Hunter Biden and his jail sentence. I think this is misdirection. I think it's

00:00:10.720 their way to brush off everything else. So what is the right sentence for that? We talked to

00:00:17.100 Andrew McCarthy about the trial, a fair verdict, and a fair sentence. Will he get one? I hope so.

00:00:25.240 Also, we wanted to go into some of the things that the global governance people are looking to do

00:00:33.720 in September. I've got a big show on it tonight on Blaze TV, but we went into it a great deal today.

00:00:39.880 There's something that happens in September with the UN that can change everything in one emergency

00:00:45.660 that you need to know about. Janice Dean joined me also from Fox. She's been talking about Andrew

00:00:54.500 Cuomo and COVID forever. Well, he had to testify in front of Congress yesterday, and I believe he

00:01:00.780 absolutely perjured himself several times. So does she. But why it matters, all of this and so much

00:01:07.520 more on today's podcast. Here's a phrase you don't want to have to use someday. If I only had a burner

00:01:13.420 launcher, if I only had a burner launcher, they might not be dead or I might have saved XYZ. If you're a gun

00:01:21.580 owner like me, you've probably been taught that carrying firearm comes with a ton of responsibilities, 0.95

00:01:26.400 and one of them is that if you're going to shoot at someone, you shoot to kill. But what about the

00:01:31.180 times when killing somebody isn't the answer, but stopping them is? Those situations do exist,

00:01:37.200 and for that, there's the burner launcher. I have it. Members of my family have it. My team have it.

00:01:42.460 It's a great complement to our firearms. There are situations where less lethal is the way to go,

00:01:47.740 and Burna is the best alternative to deadly force. It fires powerful deterrents like tear gas and

00:01:54.200 kinetic rounds. We're talking about things that will incapacitate an attacker for up to 40 minutes.

00:02:00.260 So I want you to find yours now. Burna, B-Y-R-N-A dot com slash Glenn. Burna dot com slash Glenn.

00:02:17.740 You're listening to

00:02:24.200 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:28.100 Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:30.640 One of the greatest prosecutors of all time. I watched him on Fox News after the conviction of

00:02:38.200 Donald Trump. He was fabulous. People said he couldn't be better. I didn't believe it because

00:02:43.180 he was better. And he's great. Andy McCarthy is with us now. The National Review contributing editor,

00:02:50.020 National Review Institute senior fellow, former chief assistant U.S. attorney. Welcome to the

00:02:55.980 program, Andy. How are you? Glenn, great to be with you, as always.

00:02:59.460 Yeah. So, Andy, I'm excited to talk to you because all I want is

00:03:05.800 real, true justice. And, you know, you can't compare Donald Trump's trial to this one.

00:03:13.380 The only thing they have in common, kind of in a reverse way, was they push this one to be rushed

00:03:20.760 to trial, where the government did everything they could to stop this one from even going to trial.

00:03:27.420 But after it went to trial, there were no hijinks or, I mean, this was done step by step the way

00:03:34.540 the law requires?

00:03:37.620 Yes. And I think that's all about the judge, Glenn. I think, you know, this is not a, this is a judge who

00:03:43.980 simply gave both sides a fair trial, which is what's supposed to happen. It is an advantage

00:03:49.820 for prosecutors if the judge treats the case like it's serious business. I'm not talking about,

00:03:55.560 like, putting a thumb on the scale to the prosecutor, but, you know, making the jury aware

00:04:00.940 that you're doing, you know, if they're serious allegations and you're doing serious business.

00:04:06.700 That's what all good judges do. That's what Judge Noreka did. But other than that,

00:04:10.840 that's the big difference between the two cases. That, and I think if you ask, if you pick 20 people

00:04:18.620 randomly off the street and ask them what Hunter Biden was convicted of, they'd be able to tell you,

00:04:24.860 you know, reasonably closely to what the charges were. Whereas if you ask 20, the same 20 people

00:04:31.640 what Trump was convicted of, they still couldn't tell you after a trial that was covered, you know,

00:04:37.780 day by day. Yeah. So, Andy, so the trial was fair, which is a victory for the judicial system.

00:04:49.020 The sentencing, they're saying he could get up to 25 years. I don't think that's going to happen.

00:04:55.640 What do you expect? What's average? About 18 months?

00:04:58.460 I think he's, I've done his, a little computation of his sentencing guidelines. And the important

00:05:07.500 thing with this one is that the media always covers things as if the statutory sentence is going to be

00:05:13.420 the sentence. The statute, the statutes have these big ranges, like, you know, zero to 20 years for one

00:05:19.800 thing and zero to 10 years. But sentencing realistically is done under the federal guidelines.

00:05:26.860 The judges don't have to follow them, but they almost always do. All the arguing about the

00:05:31.380 sentences about that. I don't think Hunter has to be in a prison sentence situation, because I think

00:05:41.180 there's a good interpretation of the guidelines that could bring his sentence as low as zero to six

00:05:46.040 months, which is a range where the judge would be allowed to do something other than a prison sentence.

00:05:51.620 Because there's another way of computing it where he'd be at a level where the, he'd max out at like

00:05:57.400 15 to 21 months, and the judge would give him the bottom of the range, which would be about 15. But

00:06:02.980 I'd be surprised if that happens.

00:06:05.640 Okay. And that is, that would be fair and just. That's no cutting any deals or anything. That's just

00:06:11.640 fair and just. Yeah. Okay. I do too.

00:06:13.440 Um, he's a first offender. It's a nonviolent crime. And, um, the guidelines have an adjustment

00:06:20.020 that say, if you just got the gun for sporting purposes, not for a crime or something like that,

00:06:25.760 then, you know, you can get a low guidelines range.

00:06:28.560 So if I lied on my, uh, you know, on my, uh, background check, uh, this administration would

00:06:39.100 want, you know, people to pay a much, much higher, uh, price. Um, so the lying part on that bothers

00:06:47.800 me because it's very, very clear. You don't lie on this, which he did. However, the idea that,

00:06:55.000 um, you know, you could take guns away from, I don't know, people who smoke pot or, or, you

00:07:02.440 know, or drinking, drinking alcoholics. I mean, I'm a recovering alcoholic. I have guns. I wouldn't

00:07:08.380 want my guns taken away from me. I mean, there is a constitutional argument that maybe this

00:07:14.400 shouldn't be a crime. Yeah. There's a, there's a very fluid second amendment, um, argument in

00:07:23.720 the federal courts, in the appellate courts, because in the Bruin case back in 2022, the

00:07:30.740 court basically said, we meant what we said when we said that the, you can't restrict

00:07:35.540 the second amendment beyond what the original understanding was when the second amendment

00:07:40.820 was adopted in 1791 or at most when it was applied to the states by the 14th amendment

00:07:47.280 in 1868. So the thing is, Glenn, there's a long tradition in this country of disarming

00:07:56.860 people if they were adjudicated to be mentally incompetent. But as far as there's not a lot

00:08:03.040 of tradition for, um, drug abuse regulations, but there was for alcohol. And the tradition

00:08:10.380 in the country at the founding was that if you were in, if you were actively drinking or if

00:08:16.840 you were intoxicated, they could take your guns away from you while you were drinking or

00:08:23.260 intoxicated, but then they gave them back to you and there was no restriction on you having them.

00:08:28.100 So the question is, is drug, I think we're going to have to like draw a line between drug use and

00:08:36.660 drug addiction. But if you're a casual drug user, like the, right, the, um, there's one appellate

00:08:44.180 court that found like somebody who was a recreational marijuana user that it violated the second

00:08:50.200 amendment to take the guns away. On the other hand, if you're an addict and you're in, in, uh,

00:08:56.840 someone like Hunter's position, the question is, is it more like mental illness or is it more like

00:09:02.280 alcohol abuse? And I think that's what the, what the courts are grappling with.

00:09:06.020 Hmm. Uh, so good day for the Republic or not?

00:09:14.520 I think any day justice is done is a good day for the Republic. Um, I think it would be a bad day for

00:09:22.760 the Republic if it was, if the history of this was distorted. So I resent the Biden justice department

00:09:31.180 and David Weiss in particular taking a victory lap on this when they not only delayed justice

00:09:37.800 by six years, they've really rigged this so that Hunter will actually never be justice in terms of,

00:09:47.340 um, ultimately this case and the tax case, because by the time their sentences and those cases are

00:09:55.560 rejudicated, we'll be beyond election day and president Biden will, we'll simply pardon him.

00:10:01.600 And that'll be the, the end of it. Uh, and that's because of the strategic delay by the prosecutor.

00:10:08.320 And I have to tell you the, uh, in the grand scheme of things, the least important thing, uh, that I

00:10:14.960 would try him for is, is what we've been talking about. I think this is a distraction in a way to delay

00:10:20.680 from getting to the real crimes, uh, that were also on the laptop. Uh, and, uh, and so it's a, it's a,

00:10:28.760 it's a bad day in, in the, in the way that you were just saying with, uh, uh, the justice department,

00:10:34.460 there's, there's no justice coming from this justice department. You know, if you have the right name

00:10:39.380 and God help you, if you have the wrong name. Yeah, no, that's exactly right. And a lot of this

00:10:45.700 is a sideshow to distract attention from the work that the house committees have done, which I just

00:10:52.860 looked this morning before we started to speak, they're up to like $35 million, uh, in just the

00:11:00.180 period between 2014 and 2019 that went into the coffers of the Biden family. If you count, if you

00:11:07.900 count up the money they got directly, the money their associates got, and these loans that they got

00:11:13.220 that were never expected to be repaid were up to $35 million. Jeez. How many $35 million loans have

00:11:21.420 you had that you didn't weren't expected to repay? Cause, uh, I haven't had one yet. Yeah. And how

00:11:27.700 many $35 million transactions where like the money crosses the table, but nothing comes back in return?

00:11:34.960 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't have to do anything. They're just, they just love me just that much.

00:11:40.700 Uh, Andy, thank you so much. God bless and keep up the good work. You're really doing some important

00:11:45.040 work right now. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks so much, Glenn. You bet. Andy McCarthy.

00:11:52.980 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. And we really want to thank you for listening.

00:11:58.700 So we have, uh, the, uh, Liberty Sentinel Media CEO on with us. He's a journalist, also the author of

00:12:04.900 Indoctrinating Our Children to Death. Alex Newman is with us. And Alex, if I'm not mistaken, you've spent

00:12:11.680 almost a decade, uh, working over in different countries in, in Europe and reporting on Europe

00:12:19.760 and European policies and politics. Um, and I thought you could maybe bring us a better understanding of

00:12:25.520 what happened over the weekend and what's still to come. Well, thank you for having me,

00:12:29.860 Beck. It's great to be here with you. And yes, I spent, um, over a decade working in Europe and

00:12:35.200 longer than that, living in different European countries, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, uh, France.

00:12:40.460 And, uh, the media of course is, is being pretty dishonest about what has happened in this election

00:12:45.540 on, on several fronts. Uh, for one, they're portraying this as a win for the far right.

00:12:49.960 And yet they don't actually tell you what that means. They want to conjure up images of Adolf Hitler

00:12:55.420 and goose stepping Nazis and could be further from the truth. The parties that, uh, really did very 0.59

00:13:01.240 well in this election are not even close to Nazis. In fact, if anything, they're, they're more closely

00:13:06.960 aligned with like the libertarian party or conservative parties that just want some controls

00:13:12.240 on immigration. So right there, we have a fake narrative from the fake media. And, you know,

00:13:17.100 another part of the deception I would say is that this is going to have some sort of devastating effect

00:13:23.200 on the globalist agenda or the mass migration. I mean, that's simply not true either. This was an

00:13:27.420 election for the European parliament. Uh, this isn't a parliament in the sense that we think of

00:13:31.860 a sovereign legislative body. Um, in the EU, you have the European commission, which is basically a

00:13:37.980 hybrid legislative executive branch. It's very different than our system. And the parliament

00:13:42.160 serves more as a rubber stamp than as a legislative body. So several big, big deceptions, but the results

00:13:48.880 do, uh, speak to something very important. Europeans, I think like Americans are tired of

00:13:53.840 the globalism. They're tired of the mass migration. They're tired of the economic suffering because of

00:13:58.720 the inflation and the climate policies and the war on farmers and all the rest, and they want

00:14:03.200 something different. And so from that perspective, this was a very significant election.

00:14:09.100 So what did Macron do when he, uh, called for new elections? I don't even understand,

00:14:15.660 I don't even understand that, that system. What, what, what did he do? Why was that a big deal? And

00:14:20.600 how, uh, how, you know, how is that going to work out for him?

00:14:25.080 Well, he had to essentially, after the election results, his party was absolutely crushed. I mean,

00:14:31.000 and I mean, crushed, the result was devastating for his globalist establishment political party.

00:14:37.060 And, uh, the party that won by a massive margin that used to be the national front. Now they call it

00:14:42.920 the national rally, um, is basically the antithesis of Macron's party. They're, they're very strong

00:14:48.800 French nationalists. They want to preserve French identity. They, uh, they want to do deportations.

00:14:53.580 They want to remove criminals and illegal aliens out of France. Uh, in, in some ways you might call 0.98

00:15:00.180 them anti-Islamic. They, they are opposed to what they call the Islamization of France. And, um, you

00:15:06.820 know, they're not necessarily like, uh, a conservative Republican party, if you will. They're on the

00:15:12.240 left on, on quite a few issues, but they are a nationalist party. They want to preserve French

00:15:17.340 identity. In fact, until recently, they wanted to get France out of the European union. They have now

00:15:21.820 walked that back a little bit. They're more reformist. Whereas Macron wants to basically

00:15:26.440 surrender all French sovereignty to the EU and open up the borders wide for anybody to come in.

00:15:31.180 So the contrast is very clear. And what happens in these, uh, parliamentary democracies like they

00:15:36.640 have across Europe is that when you have an election like that and the prime minister or the,

00:15:41.300 the president in the case of France, uh, has a party that is decimated at the polls, they really

00:15:46.180 have no choice, but to call for a snap election and then eventually step down because they, they

00:15:51.040 are obviously in a position of weakness. They have clearly lost the support of the public. And so

00:15:55.720 the correct thing to do then is to call an election and let the people decide their fate.

00:16:00.600 So the people that were, were elected, they remain, they're just reelecting the rest of parliament.

00:16:09.580 Well, I don't, I don't, I'm sorry for sounding so naive, but I just don't care about

00:16:13.900 foreign governments because to me, they don't make any sense, but

00:16:17.580 what is the, yeah. So the French system, like many of the other European, uh, parliamentary

00:16:25.560 systems, um, you know, the whole system is different, right? In, in the United States,

00:16:29.900 we have kind of the, the two party system, every congressional district represents a particular group

00:16:35.680 of people. So when you have elections in most of these European democracies, what you have is

00:16:40.180 proportional representation in parliament. And so typically you'll have governing coalitions that,

00:16:45.400 that take shape. Um, like the, the recent government that just took over in the Netherlands,

00:16:50.000 a huge blow to the establishment. They kicked out the liberals, the global liberals by American

00:16:54.600 definitions, um, the, the globalists and replace them with conservative parties. So what happens

00:17:00.260 then is when you have these kinds of like, and it's the same in Canada, our neighbors to the North

00:17:04.100 and in Australia, when you have these elections and it becomes very, very clear that the ruling party

00:17:09.320 or the ruling coalition no longer has public support, uh, the correct and proper thing to do then is to

00:17:14.960 step down and let people have new elections. So this election was, like I said, for the European

00:17:19.460 parliament, but what it showed is that the French people are no longer with them. So he has to do

00:17:25.380 the right thing here. Okay. So this vote that happened over the weekend, let's see if I follow you.

00:17:32.740 The vote that happened this weekend has very, um, few teeth, if you will. Um, but calling for a new

00:17:41.280 election, if the results turn out the way it appears, they might turn out, uh, it, it will have

00:17:48.860 some teeth. The conservatives will have some teeth. Yeah. So if in this snap election, uh, Marine Le Pen's

00:17:56.000 national rally party performs as well as they did in the European parliament elections, uh, France will

00:18:01.720 look very, very different when the new government takes over. And that's a very real possibility.

00:18:05.860 Um, it is possible that, um, you know, the, the French voters wanted Marine Le Pen's party in the

00:18:11.660 European parliament, but not governing France. That's possible. We'll see what happens in this

00:18:15.680 election, but, um, yes, this could lead to some very, very profound changes in the way France is

00:18:21.240 governed. And, uh, that by extension then would lead to some profound shifts across Europe. France

00:18:26.400 is obviously one of the powerhouses of the European union, one of the major economies, one of the most

00:18:30.620 significant military forces. So this could have a very, very profound effect if the election goes the

00:18:36.400 way the European parliamentary election suggests it does. But you're right. When you look at the

00:18:41.160 European parliament, again, I think the name is kind of misleading because people assume that this

00:18:45.440 is like, you know, for example, the U S Congress, that they're going to have the power to radically

00:18:49.220 shift trajectory of things, um, in the European system. That's just not the case. The parliament,

00:18:54.380 I think is best thought of as a rubber stamp, um, almost like a decoration for the Europeans to be able to 0.96

00:19:00.000 feel like they have some kind of influence in the way the EU is governed. The EU is really governed by

00:19:05.340 unaccountable, unelected bureaucrats at the European commission.

00:19:10.380 So have you heard, um, there's a new summit that's happening at the United Nations annual meeting.

00:19:17.620 Um, it's called the summit of the future, which kind of sounds a little freaky. Um, and it is,

00:19:24.540 it's, uh, it's, it'll cover everything from climate change, international security, science,

00:19:28.740 technology, youth. Uh, it's the typical bull crap from the United Nations, except, uh, one of the 0.84

00:19:37.620 things they're addressing is transforming global governance. Um, and action 36, we commit to 0.91

00:19:45.800 transforming global government, uh, governance, uh, action 41 will reform and strengthen the United

00:19:52.180 Nations. Um, they, they go into all kinds of things like our common agenda and they're giving

00:19:58.080 the United Nations, um, extra, uh, powers, uh, that can be enacted in emergencies. And so they're

00:20:07.400 getting around the sovereignty saying, by, by saying, Oh, this would only happen in a global emergency,

00:20:12.240 but we all know emergencies are always right around the corner. Do you know much about this?

00:20:18.620 I do Glenn. Actually, I broke that story in the Epic times, uh, over a year ago. It's a very,

00:20:24.980 very important. I'm glad we're talking about it. In fact, I will be there covering the summit for

00:20:28.380 the new American magazine. So we'll be providing live updates from there. But I think of this as

00:20:33.400 kind of like an attempted constitutional convention for the UN. Uh, they want to throw off the shackles

00:20:39.020 that have kind of restrained their power grabs over the decades and you serve vast new powers.

00:20:45.140 And that's not speculation that the secretary general Antonio Guterres, who by the way, before

00:20:49.800 becoming the head of the UN was the leader of the socialist international, which traces its lineage

00:20:55.060 directly back to Karl Marx. And he has put out a series of what he calls policy briefs. One of them,

00:21:01.880 as you mentioned, deals with emergencies. And I encourage people to read this document. If I

00:21:05.980 remember correctly, it's only about 24 pages and it is just transparent. It basically says in any

00:21:13.080 declared emergency, global emergency, the secretary general will assume all these new powers. The

00:21:19.580 decision-making entities will be the agencies of the United Nations. It says nation states,

00:21:24.840 governments, civil society, business, all of them will be taking their marching orders from this

00:21:29.960 secretary general and his minions. And I mean, it gets worse. They give a list of possible emergencies

00:21:36.080 and it could be anything. It could be an economic emergency, a climate emergency, an environmental

00:21:40.060 emergency. It doesn't even have to be a global emergency. It could be regional. So we're talking

00:21:45.220 here about an incredible power grab, where all they have to do is say emergency, the magic words,

00:21:50.960 and suddenly we have basically a global police state. So people need to be paying attention to this.

00:21:56.740 And this is something, we're covering this tonight on my 9 p.m. TV show. And in doing our homework on it,

00:22:06.920 it is something that a lot of people will go, oh, well, that's no big deal. They're voting on this

00:22:12.820 and doing this in September, you know, before we have a vote here in America. And if they pass this

00:22:22.360 stuff, what you said is absolutely true. Any emergency will just circumvent all of our governments

00:22:31.400 and put all of the power into one government in the U.N.

00:22:37.520 Yeah, that's exactly right. I mean, that's a proper description of what's going on here, Glenn.

00:22:41.340 And the amazing thing is that you can actually read these documents. You don't have to read

00:22:46.000 between the lines. You don't really have to read through the UNEs. It's just right there in plain

00:22:50.860 sight. They're talking about global restrictions on free speech. They're talking about globally

00:22:55.180 seizing control of economic decisions. They're talking about incredible powers, powers that would

00:23:01.460 be flatly unconstitutional, even for the U.S. government to exercise. And they're talking

00:23:06.440 about now having these powers exercised at the international level by people who were not elected

00:23:11.760 by any people. It's frankly terrifying. I think people really need to be paying attention. It's

00:23:17.580 not talking about it. Yeah. Thank you so much for everything you do. And if you missed our last

00:23:25.360 podcast, when was it we did that? Remember, I have no concept of time. It was, you know, it's like

00:23:35.520 everything. There's so many things that happen every day that you're like, I don't know, was that

00:23:39.840 three years ago? I have no idea. But we had a fantastic, fantastic conversation. And if you

00:23:48.840 missed it, go look up the podcast with me and Alex Newman. And let's see, it was called, it's a

00:23:57.780 global cabal, a conspiracy theory. You can find the podcast with me and Alex, and it is well worth

00:24:05.440 your time listening to. Alex, thank you as always. God bless. Thank you for having me. Appreciate it.

00:24:10.600 God bless you. You bet. And don't forget, tonight at 9 p.m., I'm doing a special on that UN document.

00:24:19.380 Please take it seriously. You have to be informed. I have to tell you, I am at times, I'm so blackpilled

00:24:26.800 at times. I've just, like, have you seen the new documentary out, Stu, on, we just put it out

00:24:38.120 with Sarah Gonzalez. Oh, voter fraud exposed, how elections can be stolen. Have you watched it yet?

00:24:44.760 I have not, no. Oh my gosh. Just the open, now, luckily, we go into some solutions and things that

00:24:51.820 have to be done. But, oh my gosh, it is, these problems are so huge that you're like, I don't

00:24:59.980 know what to do. In the voter fraud exposed, there are things to do that will actually make a

00:25:06.340 difference. And tonight, we go into this, the first thing you have to do is you have to know

00:25:11.100 what is happening in September. It's really, really critical that you know and spread the word.

00:25:17.680 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:25:21.820 Hey, so it's me, Andrew Cuomo. Yeah, so I got to testify in front of Congress yesterday,

00:25:35.240 you know. Hey, what's a little perjury between friends? It's not like I'm killing people.

00:25:42.980 Anyway, Janice Dean is with us now. Janice is the Fox News senior meteorologist.

00:25:50.020 And she took a big gamble and started to speak out against Andrew Cuomo and what he was doing,

00:25:57.380 and which I believe was killing people in nursing homes. He said yesterday that he was just following

00:26:04.220 federal regulations. It's like, what federal regulations were those? Janice, welcome to the

00:26:10.620 program. Glenn, thank you for having me. And thank you for following the story. You know,

00:26:16.100 I think a lot of people are sick of hearing about COVID and don't want to talk about it. I know we

00:26:21.660 have a lot of PTSD when it comes to what happened. We were all locked away for years, depending on

00:26:27.000 where you live. And I think a lot of people just want to brush this under the rug, but we can't,

00:26:32.360 especially with stories like what happened in New York and what happened with my in-laws.

00:26:36.400 You know, our government kills people. You're exactly right. And for the first time, families

00:26:44.320 got to see Andrew Cuomo answering questions under oath.

00:26:51.440 And what was the answer in the question, the line of questioning that you feel really stuck out to you?

00:27:02.620 That he continued to do the same thing that he's been doing for four years, and that is deflect, lie, blame

00:27:11.480 everything, everyone else, Trump, New York Post, Fox News, the nursing home residents, the people who worked

00:27:21.020 at the nursing homes, everybody and everything except the man that signed the March 25th order that was in

00:27:27.500 place, you know, for six weeks to allow over 9,000 COVID positive patients into nursing homes.

00:27:35.200 And you know, many times he kept saying it was the CDC, it was the federal government. But you know

00:27:39.780 what, at one point, he did have to admit that the language was different, and that it was issued by the

00:27:48.140 state. So that's an important tidbit that we got out of the subcommittee yesterday. They have not

00:27:54.520 released this transcript. I don't think they will for a number of weeks, because they're bringing in

00:27:58.540 Melissa DeRosa, who is his right-hand henchwoman. And I believe actually, in some cases, I believe

00:28:06.820 her testimony will be more important, because I think she's the one that edited a lot of the

00:28:14.400 documents that were out there and falsified the death toll.

00:28:18.520 So for people who don't remember, take us through the story. He, at the beginning, to take the

00:28:26.080 pressure off of the hospitals, so he could say the hospitals were running fine and everything.

00:28:30.980 He was taking COVID positive people and putting them in nursing homes, which is, it was the worst 0.87

00:28:38.740 possible idea, and killing all of these people. And then he started to suppress the numbers and

00:28:46.860 saying, no, there's, these people aren't dead. That didn't happen, right?

00:28:52.740 What he did was he didn't count those that got COVID in their care facilities and were transported

00:28:59.400 to the hospital where they died in the hospital. That happened to my mother-in-law. She contracted 0.98

00:29:03.260 COVID in her assisted living residence. She was tested once she got to the hospital. She died in the

00:29:08.760 hospital. But Cuomo's administration was the only administration across the country that didn't

00:29:15.940 count those that died in the hospital. And the New York Attorney General filed a report that

00:29:21.980 basically said at points, they were lying about the numbers by 50%. And that's a big tell, obviously,

00:29:30.180 why is he hiding the numbers? You know, if he's going to blame the federal government, don't you think

00:29:35.280 he wants to ramp up those numbers to make sure he blames Trump and the CDC instead of himself and the

00:29:41.060 mandate that he had his name on? So, you know, there were hours and hours of questioning yesterday.

00:29:46.560 I am so grateful to Chairman Brad Wenstrup, who headed up the subcommittee and wanted to find out

00:29:54.960 answers because he's doing more work than Kathy Hochul in Albany has done in the last four years.

00:30:03.160 So what do you expect to happen? Because I think the average American listening to this is like,

00:30:08.400 oh, he perjured himself. He's lying. He's got caught. But the average American also says nothing's

00:30:13.600 going to happen. He'll just go on. Might be governor again. Well, maybe not governor, but certainly

00:30:20.680 mayor. There is a lot of talk that he is going to run for mayor next year for 2025. And I believe it,

00:30:30.460 you know, he's actually got a campaign website up and running on the internet. But I believe I'm on the

00:30:37.620 side of the angels and, you know, gauging from what happened yesterday for the first time ever,

00:30:44.120 you know, questioned under oath for hours and hours about, you know, all of the things that we have

00:30:48.880 wanted answers to. Again, he deflected a lot, but I do believe there were many times where he did lie.

00:30:56.460 And, you know, if you look at some of the timeline that we've been working on and some of the evidence,

00:31:02.140 there were certainly, he was searching, certainly perjuring himself. And I think there are going to

00:31:08.240 be criminal recommendations once, you know, the transcript is released. And I also believe

00:31:13.500 we're probably going to see him on television testifying again in the fall.

00:31:18.600 Well, you have done just a miraculous job on keeping this story alive and bringing national

00:31:28.240 attention to it while it was happening. Nobody wanted to talk about it. And you stepped out pretty

00:31:33.060 much alone at the very beginning. And I just have so much respect for you, Janice. And thank you so

00:31:38.140 much. Well, thank you for following the story. I really, really appreciate that. And to Stu as well.

00:31:44.300 You know, he's been somebody that's been sounding the alarm on this. And he can't get away with it

00:31:50.260 because it just can't happen. I'm not going to let it happen.

00:31:54.400 Yeah. Thank you so much.

00:31:55.920 I love Janice.

00:31:57.580 Yeah, Janice just said everything true up until the Stu part. And then I lost a lot of respect. A lot

00:32:02.520 of respect. Thank you so much, Janice. God bless you. You know, she was just talking about mayor of

00:32:09.620 New York. They're so desperate in New York. I want to give you something that came in from a friend

00:32:17.120 who is a... Well, I better not say because I don't want to out them. But they're not something...

00:32:26.060 They live in New York, okay? Been a New Yorker for 20 years. They're, you know, in an industry that you

00:32:34.720 would not think, oh yeah, of course, the conservatives are hanging out there. Dear Glenn, I'm a big fan

00:32:40.060 of yours and something happened last week I thought you might find interesting. I recently moved to

00:32:44.500 East Harlem. I've been a New Yorker for more than 20 years, but I had never ventured into this

00:32:49.300 neighborhood before moving here. It is a forgotten land with no close subways and not many businesses.

00:32:56.320 Most people never see this neighborhood. It's dirty. Our trash doesn't get picked up regularly. Our

00:33:01.560 streets don't get swept on schedule. Our city councilwoman even spearheaded the program to give

00:33:06.460 out free needles to junkies. I volunteer at a local children's garden, and on Saturday evenings,

00:33:12.760 it's become a meeting place for neighbors, some with children, some without, to meet and share snacks

00:33:17.760 and drinks and talk about grocery store prices, school functions, and watch the kids play tag.

00:33:23.120 We're a mix of Puerto Ricans, blacks, whites, Chinese, mostly between 30 and 50 years of age.

00:33:28.560 Last Saturday, our talk turned to politics by way of complaining about the filthy conditions of 116th

00:33:36.920 Street. I'm a conservative, and in New York, I've learned to keep my mouth shut. So I was surprised

00:33:44.080 as one woman said, I'm a lifelong Democrat, but things have to change around here. Then a younger woman 1.00

00:33:51.040 said, my life was so much better under Trump, I'm voting for Trump. Then all my self-identifying

00:33:57.180 Democratic neighbors agreed. Yes, life was better during Trump. Things were cheaper, streets were

00:34:03.620 cleaner. I asked if anyone had gone to the Bronx-Trump rally, held only a few miles from here. No one had

00:34:10.000 gone, but everyone knew somebody who had, someone who said it was great and loved it. They felt it was

00:34:16.680 meaningful to Trump to even visit the hood when our own politicians don't come around. It was unanimous

00:34:23.900 that while none of them had voted for Trump in 2020, they all would be voting for him in November.

00:34:30.920 This is an area that always votes blue, no matter what. And I was amazed to hear so much support for

00:34:38.760 Trump here. It's amazing. I think people are really fed up. I think they are just sick and tired of this

00:34:47.740 and fed up. And it is, you know, they're going to try to make it about guns. They'll try to make it

00:34:53.920 about Trump's a felon. It's going to come down to the economy. It is going to come down. How much are

00:35:00.180 you paying for food? How secure is your neighborhood? How's your business doing? How's your personal

00:35:07.880 economy doing? How's your, how do you feel? Are you feeling comfortable and safe in your job?

00:35:13.760 I don't know anyone who does. And I mean, at any level of the spectrum, I don't know anybody who's

00:35:20.820 like, oh yeah, well, no matter what happens, we're good. I don't know a soul that feels that way.

00:35:28.860 Do you, Stu?

00:35:30.380 No. And of course the price, you know, we still see, there's a report out today, an inflation report

00:35:35.720 where they're saying, oh, it's very good. It's, you know, it's, the inflation is down year over

00:35:40.340 year and, and all of these things. And it's like, well, it's still a record high. It's still up from

00:35:46.020 last, from last month. I mean, the rate is down year over year, but, but the it's, we're still seeing

00:35:52.860 an increase. And I don't know. I mean, I think that's the type of thing that hits people. You know,

00:35:56.780 there's a, there's a new prediction model out from 538, where they do this every election cycle,

00:36:02.980 where they release the percentage chance of, of who's going to win. And it has Joe Biden ahead,

00:36:10.900 I think 52 to 48% or 53, 47, something like that as a percentage of chance that they would win.

00:36:18.320 But, you know, a lot of that's based on just, you know, the fundamentals that are underlying this.

00:36:23.420 If the election were held today, it's something like 80, 20 or 75, 25 that Trump would win.

00:36:27.680 And like, I think there's this belief that because as we get closer to the election,

00:36:33.740 there will be, you know, the media will be stepping in, people will, will wake up to the

00:36:38.980 fact that they really don't like Trump. A lot of these voters, black voters, Latino voters,

00:36:42.480 younger voters will all say, wait a minute, we can't go with Donald Trump. We're going to go back

00:36:45.800 to Joe Biden. That's sort of the assumption that underlies so many of the predictions right now.

00:36:49.780 And it might be true. I mean, it might wind up being true. We may very well see

00:36:53.840 that Joe Biden wins this election. But man, like, it's just hard to imagine a country embracing what

00:37:00.420 they've seen over the past four years. How can you reward it?

00:37:03.560 And listen to this. This is the way CNN spins it, but you can't spin the basic fact.

00:37:10.260 Listen to this. Cut two from CNN, please.

00:37:19.600 Homeownership up 26%. That cut, please.

00:37:22.120 Bankrate found that on average, Americans are spending $18,000 a year to own and maintain

00:37:29.520 their home. That is obviously a lot of money. When you think about it, it's almost like

00:37:32.720 the cost of buying a used car a year. This is 26% more than in 2020. And of course,

00:37:39.480 this is all on top of your mortgage payment, right? We're talking about the cost of energy,

00:37:44.300 the cost of property taxes. And the biggest drivers, according to Bankrate,

00:37:48.600 are the fact that it's gotten more expensive to maintain a home and also the cost of home

00:37:53.880 insurance. Now, we've seen premiums spike, right? For two reasons. One, it's the fact that there's

00:37:59.960 the climate crisis has made it more likely to be disastrous, right? We've seen wildfires and

00:38:06.300 hurricanes and flooding. Then the cost of living, labor, materials, that's all gone up. So it's more

00:38:11.100 expensive to repair when this happens. I spoke to a woman in California yesterday who told me that her

00:38:15.540 home insurance rate doubled with no notice because of concerns about wildfires. On top of that,

00:38:21.560 they have to spend $10,000 to repair the plumbing. Now she's taking on extra hours to try to make ends 1.00

00:38:26.480 meet. And she's not alone, Kate.

00:38:29.640 Yeah, not alone.

00:38:31.820 Climate crisis is hitting us all here, Glenn. It is really a fascinating, you know, tale here. And

00:38:38.280 this story, this, this, uh, stat came out when you were gone, uh, Glenn, but I'd love to run this

00:38:45.040 by you. Think about this for a moment. Economists put it to me like this. This is a New York Times

00:38:49.560 report on the housing market. If you were to sell your house today and buy an identical one across

00:38:56.040 the street, your payment would double. This has nothing to do with how much the other house has

00:39:03.880 gone up in value over the time that you've owned the house. So this is just, if you have the rates

00:39:08.320 that we had a few years ago, you had that rate going forward, house across the street, same price,

00:39:13.160 identical home. Your payment is double. And that is, by the way, not reflected in any of the inflation

00:39:20.320 reports. These, when it comes to these rates, it's not reflected in there. So like people are feeling

00:39:26.280 that in a real way and the numbers are coming out telling you a totally different story. And everyone's

00:39:31.600 like, Oh, well the, you know, the inflation numbers coming down, that's really good for

00:39:35.000 Biden. I don't see that in, in, in reality. People know that you don't see it in reality.

00:39:40.980 People know everybody at no matter what level on the spectrum, everybody is talking about

00:39:48.000 this is insane. It's insane. It can't go on and it's going to get worse.

00:39:52.680 Na, na, na, na, na.

00:39:56.080 Nah, nah, na.

00:39:56.580 Nah.
