Summary
On today's show, Glenn Beck is joined by National Review's Andrew McCarthy and Fox News' Janice Dean to discuss the verdict in the Hunter Biden case, why it matters, and why a fair sentence is the key to justice.
Transcript
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,
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.

00:02:30.640
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
00:03:37.620
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
00:06:05.640
Okay. And that is, that would be fair and just. That's no cutting any deals or anything. That's just
00:06:13.440
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.
00:09:14.520
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
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
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
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
00:19:37.620
things they're addressing is transforming global governance. Um, and action 36, we commit to
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.
00:25:21.820
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
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
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.
00:31:57.580
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
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.
00:35:30.380
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.
00:37:22.120
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
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.
