The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Dinesh D’Souza & Adam Carolla ｜ 9⧸18⧸20

00:00:00.000 Hey, podcasters. Great podcast for you today. It's Friday. We've got a couple of things.

00:00:05.500 One, we actually had to go into the dark web to pull for you because it has been banned by Twitter, Facebook, YouTube.

00:00:12.520 You can't find it anywhere. It is a leaked recording of a conversation between Joe Biden and the president of Ukraine right after Donald Trump was elected.

00:00:23.600 He, in that, does absolutely everything he accused General Flynn of doing.

00:00:33.040 And that's when they tried to put him in jail for doing exactly what Joe Biden just did in this tape.

00:00:41.620 You're not going to hear this anywhere else. It is being erased. It's important. Make sure you listen to it.

00:00:48.640 We also have Dinesh D'Souza on today. We have Adam Carolla.

00:00:53.220 I mean, it's just a free-for-all Friday from the Glenn Beck podcast. Here it is.

00:01:04.020 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:11.520 We have audio now that is being actively hidden.

00:01:16.320 YouTube, Twitter, Facebook have all shadow banned this.

00:01:20.320 You're not going to be able to find this audio anywhere unless you have access to the dark web, which my research team uses the dark web.

00:01:31.260 It's sometimes the only way to get information.

00:01:35.400 And what you have to do if you're on the dark web or have a VPN, you can just log in as if you're a Russian server.

00:01:45.500 And so if you are if you're, you know, logging online from a Russian server, then you see the things that were banned in America, but not banned the rest of the world.

00:01:57.860 This audio came from a Ukrainian source and the Ukrainian source taped it is an Ukrainian official.

00:02:09.100 They taped a phone call right after the election of Joe Biden.

00:02:14.520 I'm sorry, of Donald Trump.

00:02:16.480 Joe Biden reached out to his people, Poroshenko, in in the Ukraine.

00:02:23.660 Remember everything you learned during the the impeachment hearings and what we showed you on the chalkboard.

00:02:31.360 So he reaches out to Poroshenko, the head of the Ukrainian government, and it's recorded now.

00:02:38.600 I want to give you several layers of this.

00:02:41.940 What was the reason that Joe Biden said we could get General Flynn?

00:02:48.120 Remember, the FBI said there's nothing here.

00:02:50.520 He didn't do anything wrong.

00:02:52.080 There's nothing here.

00:02:53.480 And the next day they had an emergency meeting at the White House without the FBI.

00:02:58.380 The FBI said case closed.

00:03:02.200 They had this meeting.

00:03:04.000 Joe Biden was in it.

00:03:05.260 Susan Rice was in it.

00:03:06.920 And so was Barack Obama.

00:03:09.280 And we know because of notes that Barack Obama said, what do we what can we do?

00:03:15.820 Joe Biden said we can use the Logan Act.

00:03:20.020 The Logan Act is something that was enacted in the 1700s.

00:03:23.580 It's never been used, but it is when somebody would go over to a foreign country and say, I'm representing the United States of America.

00:03:34.040 And they didn't represent the United States of America.

00:03:36.760 And they tried to do deals with that country.

00:03:40.220 OK, it's an old timey act.

00:03:42.240 Never been invoked.

00:03:44.960 Until Joe Biden said we can get General Flynn.

00:03:48.220 So they did.

00:03:48.980 That's what they that's what they got General Flynn on.

00:03:52.220 And the reason why is because he said, look, don't do anything crazy.

00:03:57.080 We're coming into office to Russia.

00:03:59.460 We're coming into office.

00:04:00.860 And just please don't retaliate on anything this administration has done.

00:04:06.460 It's a new administration.

00:04:07.820 And we may be handling things differently.

00:04:10.400 OK, that was interference from the incoming administration.

00:04:16.220 Now, this is the outgoing administration and the vice president calling the president of Ukraine.

00:04:25.700 Here's cut one.

00:04:27.380 The people they put forward to be part of the transition have to be.

00:04:31.440 Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

00:04:33.580 You know what?

00:04:34.380 Let me before we even start this, put it back at the beginning.

00:04:37.340 If you're at your computer, I want you to take this piece of audio and I want you to burn it to a CD.

00:04:43.740 It is being systematically erased by tech.

00:04:48.500 Again, we got this from YouTube and the dark web from Russia because it hasn't been banned yet by YouTube in Russia.

00:04:57.620 So everybody, if you have access, burn this to a CD so it's not lost.

00:05:04.240 All right, here we go.

00:05:05.080 People they put forward to be part of the transition have to be cleared to do that, just as we have to be cleared after the Bush administration, et cetera.

00:05:14.460 They have not done that.

00:05:16.260 They're trying to catch up and do it now since they fired the guy who headed up the transition just last week.

00:05:23.480 The reason I bother to tell you that is I have been somewhat limited on what I'm able to tell their team about Ukraine.

00:05:32.660 The truth of the matter is the incoming administration doesn't know a great deal about the situation.

00:05:41.040 Hmm.

00:05:41.780 So we know that the situation with Ukraine was dirty. 0.68

00:05:45.960 We know that the Obama administration was doing stuff kind of off the books, a little wink, wink, nod, nod in Ukraine.

00:05:53.680 What he's saying here is I can't tell you because I'm limited what I can tell them what I can tell you.

00:06:00.040 So he's besmirching the administration, the incoming administration, saying, look, they're there.

00:06:06.200 I can't tell you why, but we're not telling them everything.

00:06:10.620 There's some things going on.

00:06:12.400 Well, what were those things going on?

00:06:14.100 A bogus investigation.

00:06:15.600 So we can't really talk to them about it.

00:06:18.680 And so they don't know what's been going on in Ukraine.

00:06:20.900 This is a signal for him to say if he was using plain language, he would just be saying, look, they're not part of what we've been doing.

00:06:29.400 So don't say anything to them about that.

00:06:32.220 OK, that's what's happening.

00:06:35.160 Now, here's part two of the phone call.

00:06:37.600 Well, you're awfully generous.

00:06:39.260 I don't plan on going away.

00:06:40.840 I mean, as a private citizen, I plan on staying deeply engaged in the endeavor that you have begun and we have begun.

00:06:49.860 Yeah.

00:06:50.160 That's my objective.

00:06:51.800 That's my objective.

00:06:53.320 But if I go beforehand, I'm worried that they don't know enough.

00:06:59.440 They will think I'm trying to game them.

00:07:02.240 They will think I am trying to put them in a corner.

00:07:06.200 They will question my motive.

00:07:08.200 And we do, Joe.

00:07:15.440 And we do.

00:07:18.300 I I want to urge you to look at this.

00:07:25.340 Burn it, if you can, to your hard drive.

00:07:28.100 So you we know we have it again.

00:07:31.420 It is being censored by YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.

00:07:34.760 They've all shadow banned it.

00:07:37.580 We can tell you why.

00:07:40.240 If you go back and you look at a few of the episodes of what was happening with.

00:07:45.700 Just look at the episode on Hydra.

00:07:48.300 If you look at the Hydra episode about what was going on in Ukraine, you understand why all of this is going on.

00:07:56.180 You can get those shows and all of the shows.

00:07:59.740 In fact, the last Wednesday show about the Civil War, the coming Civil War that has on the screen as we go.

00:08:08.320 I had to move quickly because it's a lot of research in that show.

00:08:12.100 It gives you the titles of all the other shows that we did that are in the archives.

00:08:17.340 So you can watch that and go, OK, I don't understand that.

00:08:21.600 OK, it's on that show.

00:08:22.620 Go back to the archives and watch that show.

00:08:24.760 The reason why probably this is being censored since there's no evidence, the heavily edited recording recordings, they're thinking were stolen or they're entirely fabricated.

00:08:42.920 OK, well, really, because we have systems now that can talk about deep fakes and the then the hardest deep fake to make is audio.

00:08:55.100 It's not even close yet.

00:08:57.140 Video.

00:08:57.920 It's pretty close.

00:08:58.940 Audio is really, really hard.

00:09:02.820 Now, these these it's entirely fabricated or it was stolen.

00:09:07.680 These are things that the that Twitter and Facebook have put in to stop foreign interference in this year's election election.

00:09:18.780 And unlike in 16, when Russia used bogus social media accounts or bots to wave to to wage misinformation campaigns.

00:09:28.420 This time they're being spread by legitimate American social media users.

00:09:33.460 The disinformation fellow at the nonpartisan Wilson Center said the recordings are misleading to an audience that doesn't have the full picture.

00:09:46.900 It's certainly an influence campaign.

00:09:49.960 Well, you want the full picture?

00:09:52.220 You can get the full picture at Blaze TV dot com.

00:09:56.140 You'll understand this in its entirety.

00:09:58.860 You'll get it.

00:09:59.940 You'll know what he says, you know, and I want to continue what we've been working on.

00:10:05.800 You'll understand what he was working on.

00:10:11.840 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:10:27.260 You start this.

00:10:29.940 We're going to finish it.

00:10:38.380 These are good people.

00:10:41.520 I've known Mr. Lucini for some time now.

00:10:46.200 Have you ever seen him exhibit extremist behaviors or attitudes?

00:10:50.500 What?

00:10:52.020 The man's Muslim, so you enter his house without a warrant. 0.73

00:10:56.060 Islamophobia! 0.74

00:10:57.560 Come with me. 0.96

00:10:58.340 He's running a terrorist nerve center or a recruiting website.

00:11:04.000 Or am I just an Islamophobe?

00:11:06.380 He won't talk to me anymore.

00:11:08.440 He knows what I saw in that room.

00:11:10.400 And what does that tell you?

00:11:11.520 He is the one that said, go to Cairo.

00:11:13.720 Talk about the faith.

00:11:14.820 You're not suspicious?

00:11:16.340 I'm asking you, don't go.

00:11:18.080 I will call you.

00:11:19.180 It's gone viral in the Middle East.

00:11:21.880 That you're preaching to Muslims. 0.97

00:11:23.520 Well, I was invited.

00:11:25.500 Don't blame me, mate.

00:11:27.920 Who's there?

00:11:28.780 Doug!

00:11:30.220 Can you hear me?

00:11:31.320 He just caused an international incident.

00:11:40.140 Are you hiding from us?

00:11:41.180 He was kidnapped.

00:11:42.980 This is terrorism.

00:11:43.800 You are in the middle of that way.

00:11:51.160 And he's going to stay that way.

00:11:52.840 We're great.

00:11:56.560 You've got to get him out.

00:11:58.380 They're working on it, right?

00:11:59.620 The government.

00:12:00.880 Not a chance.

00:12:01.840 The days of Entebbe are long over.

00:12:03.840 Okay, this is an incredible story by Dinesh D'Souza, based on a true story.

00:12:11.660 And Dinesh is here to tell us about it.

00:12:13.080 Hi, Dinesh.

00:12:14.360 Glenn, it's always a pleasure.

00:12:15.740 Great to be on the show.

00:12:16.700 Likewise, likewise.

00:12:17.680 So tell us the story of the movie Infidel.

00:12:22.300 Well, it's very simple.

00:12:23.960 A Christian and a patriot goes to an international conference on world religions

00:12:31.960 and is being interviewed about Jesus.

00:12:36.100 And, of course, from the Islamic point of view, Jesus is a prophet.

00:12:39.740 But he commits the faux pas, if you will, of saying, no, no, it's not just that.

00:12:44.880 Jesus is the Son of God.

00:12:46.780 And sort of all hell breaks loose.

00:12:49.340 The story goes viral.

00:12:51.320 It activates all these terrorist groups.

00:12:53.540 So basically what we're doing is this is the first movie.

00:12:57.140 It's a political thriller that confronts radical Islam. 0.92

00:13:01.960 I think, as you know, Glenn, when Hollywood makes a movie about terrorists,

00:13:05.380 they're typically like Russian or Eastern European or they live on an island. 0.99

00:13:09.640 So it's la-la-la and it's dumb. 0.95

00:13:11.680 We wanted to make a story that is ripped from the headlines, 0.91

00:13:15.300 that is based upon true events of Americans who have been in captivity in Iran.

00:13:20.120 We wanted to expose what our director, Cyrus Naraste, knows a lot about,

00:13:25.500 the Christian underground in Iran, never reported on in the Western media.

00:13:30.180 And so all of this is pulled together into a kind of a nonstop action story.

00:13:35.140 And, you know, Jim Caviezel delivers like nobody's business.

00:13:38.800 So it's a fantastic and a fun movie to watch and illuminating in all kinds of ways.

00:13:43.300 So it opens today, which I think is perfect timing for you.

00:13:49.260 You know, I'm a movie lover.

00:13:51.520 I love going to movies.

00:13:52.720 And I've gone to two movies in the last two months, which is really very low for us.

00:14:01.380 And I come out, we come out and we like, what do you want to see?

00:14:05.380 No Raiders of the Lost Ark.

00:14:07.080 No, we saw that about 30 years ago, 40 years ago. 0.83

00:14:10.860 And so now you have a wide open place and an audience that knows better than this bull crap of the coronavirus

00:14:21.140 that, you know, we can't we shouldn't ever be anywhere, even 100 feet away from people.

00:14:26.500 I think you're going to do well.

00:14:28.320 Well, this is the thing.

00:14:29.680 We're opening in 1800 theaters and the theaters are behind us partly for commercial reasons.

00:14:35.520 They want to bring people back out.

00:14:37.760 They also know this is a terrific film.

00:14:39.940 So it's very exciting.

00:14:41.980 As you know, I've been making documentaries, but Debbie, my wife and I, we've long said that the gold standard of Hollywood is the feature film.

00:14:49.300 In fact, their worst propaganda is in feature films.

00:14:52.660 The bad guy is always some business guy or some small town pastor who's a secret member of the Ku Klux Klan. 0.63

00:14:59.620 So we wanted to make a different kind of movie that reflected patriotic and Christian values that took seriously topics like honor killing, terrorism.

00:15:09.600 And so this film was shot in Jordan.

00:15:11.620 It's shot by an Iranian American guy who is a convert to Christianity.

00:15:16.520 We were really lucky to land Caviezel for the role, because, of course, not just because he was Jesus and the passion of the Christ, but because he has an international reputation and a very good feel for this kind of a movie because he believes in it.

00:15:28.860 So, Dinesh, how much license did you take with the stories?

00:15:34.840 I mean, because that that will be the complaint.

00:15:37.200 And you had to be aware of that, that you you have to make sure that it is accurate.

00:15:42.700 I know it's based on a true story, but you can't throw in some supervillain.

00:15:47.600 You know, it's it's like Christians. 1.00

00:15:48.960 Sometimes they will make, you know, everybody who's against, you know, the the protagonist, if you will. 0.99

00:15:57.900 Everybody who's against the, you know, the Abby Johnson of the movie is just a horrible, horrible human being. 0.93

00:16:04.780 I know you. 0.98

00:16:05.880 Right.

00:16:06.140 You don't do that.

00:16:08.100 Were you aware of all of those traps?

00:16:11.320 Oh, absolutely.

00:16:12.360 In other words, two things.

00:16:14.020 I mean, one is, of course, I'm very familiar with the sort of niche Christian movies and even the niche conservative movies based on Ayn Rand and so on.

00:16:22.520 And those tend to be both very preachy in tone because they they look at the movie as an opportunity to deliver a message.

00:16:29.360 And then they're very manichae and they're good versus evil.

00:16:32.060 They're only good guys on one side, bad guys on the other side, which gives the film a little bit of a cartoonish quality.

00:16:37.900 So the goal here is quite different.

00:16:40.220 And in fact, Jim Caviezel was on TV yesterday. 0.91

00:16:42.840 He goes, this is no candy ass Christian movie. 0.87

00:16:46.120 I wouldn't put it that way, but he's totally right. 0.94

00:16:48.380 It's a gritty film.

00:16:49.680 I got to warn people.

00:16:50.620 It's got foul language.

00:16:51.760 It's got a lot of violence in it.

00:16:53.420 So it's a film that is immersed in the culture and it does not make this kind of manichae and divide between the good guy and the bad guy.

00:17:01.480 In fact, there's a very bizarre rapport between the Christian Caviezel and the bad guy, who is this incredible Turkish actor who plays the leading terrorist, a kind of British, you know, a British ISIS type guy. 0.58

00:17:15.100 And they have an unbelievable chemistry in the movie that I think is part of what makes this movie take off.

00:17:20.960 I'm glad to hear it.

00:17:22.500 I remember as a young kid, Robert, who is like my brother, he lived with us for a long time because his family was, you know, it just it was a rough childhood.

00:17:33.840 And we had to go into the bar and pick his dad up and take him back home.

00:17:40.080 And, you know, and it was it was not a place where you want teenagers to go into and that really divey bar.

00:17:47.380 But it's really it really showed me something that I've always carried with me.

00:17:54.260 First of all, you don't go into a place like that alone.

00:17:57.080 You got to have somebody you're going in with.

00:17:59.640 And if you don't go into that place, you're not going to be able to pull anybody out.

00:18:05.840 You can't stand outside and preach and and, you know, stand there and call everybody inside a sinner.

00:18:12.640 You've got to go into the problem together and be able to speak the language.

00:18:19.080 And I think if I haven't seen your movie yet, I'm going to I'm going to go see it tonight.

00:18:23.740 But if that's what you've done, that's genius.

00:18:27.660 Really, you'll see that there is a powerful human interest dimension to the story.

00:18:33.080 For example, this is also a movie about a wife whose husband is trapped in this horrible situation abroad and the U.S. government can't or won't do anything about it.

00:18:44.600 And so she's got to go herself.

00:18:46.880 And so she basically puts on the handkerchief around her head and gets on a plane and goes to Iran.

00:18:53.380 And so it has that that relationship dimension, which I think is what makes a movie strong.

00:18:59.640 So our idea here was to make a really entertaining and fun movie, a thrill ride from start to finish that also packs a lot of information.

00:19:08.120 And because it's ripped out of the headlines, it gives it an authenticity that so many other movies lack.

00:19:13.120 Well, I'm glad to hear it, Dinesh. Great to have you on. Let me switch subjects here.

00:19:17.060 By the way, the name of that movie is Infidel. It opens in theaters nationwide today.

00:19:21.820 You can find more about it at the website infidel911.com.

00:19:27.340 Dinesh D'Souza, did you see the president's speech? I know you're so busy right now with the movie.

00:19:32.260 But did you happen to see or read anything about the president's speech at the National Archives yesterday?

00:19:37.100 No, I saw quite a bit of it.

00:19:38.860 OK, good. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

00:19:40.680 Well, I think this is it to me was just breathtaking in a way, because it showed me that not only is Trump a man of the culture.

00:19:50.900 I mean, we've known for a long time that unlike other Republicans who focus on legislation and seem to be deracinated from the culture, almost like they live in a bubble.

00:20:00.120 Trump is a man who swims in the culture. He surfs on the wave.

00:20:03.940 But what impressed me was his attentiveness to the detail of what the left is doing.

00:20:10.060 Critical race theory, the 1619 project. I mean, Trump was all over it.

00:20:14.320 Yeah.

00:20:14.620 And that suggests that this is a guy who fights in the trenches.

00:20:17.920 And I could not be more happy or impressed by that.

00:20:20.780 I thought this was a fulfillment of Ronald Reagan's farewell address.

00:20:24.740 You know, he said, if we don't pay attention, there's going to come a day when we lose America and we've got to teach it as parents and stand up to our schools.

00:20:34.760 And that's exactly what he was saying last night.

00:20:37.100 But he put teeth in it. He's like, we're going to stand up.

00:20:40.220 Yes. And I think long term, Glenn, I think, you know, we have to create our own educational institutions, our own entertainment, our own media.

00:20:47.680 We're not going to live in their world. That's the simple fact of the matter. 0.99

00:20:52.080 So either we're going to have a balanced presentation of ideas or we're out of there.

00:20:56.940 What does that mean to you, Dinesh?

00:20:59.420 Well, I think it ultimately is an alternative to civil conflict, because civil conflict, ultimately, you can't be citizens if you don't share the same basic priorities.

00:21:09.000 Why? Because you're not going to fight for me and I'm not going to fight for you.

00:21:12.200 So ultimately, how do we subsist in this one America if we're really two different people?

00:21:18.120 See, when I came to America in the 70s, Glenn, I thought American politics was an argument between people who had the same goals, but different means.

00:21:26.700 Yes. But now it's pretty obvious that there are a lot of people who want to live in a completely different country than we do.

00:21:32.580 So the truth of it is we can't meet them halfway per se, because they want to go to Chicago.

00:21:37.220 We want to go to Maine. So how do we coexist?

00:21:40.300 Well, I think the answer is the only way that I can think of is that we each create our own space, which is to say our own subculture and live completely in it.

00:21:51.080 We don't watch CNN. If they say things about Trump, we don't react to them because we've not seen them and we don't even care.

00:21:58.500 You can't do that in the United States, though. That's really secession.

00:22:03.940 Well, it is a sort of cultural and emotional secession. But think about it this way.

00:22:09.060 You know, we keep saying we. We say we. They say we. We need health care.

00:22:13.240 We say we need this. But think about it this way. Is it really true that the national anthem today is still their anthem?

00:22:20.340 No.

00:22:20.640 No.

00:22:20.900 Is it true that the flag is their flag? No. So the truth of it is we don't really have an American flag anymore.

00:22:28.260 We have our flag, but it's not their flag. 0.67

00:22:31.020 I wish I could say you were wrong, Dinesh, but I think, unfortunately, you're right now.

00:22:39.480 What do we do about it? I guess that's what the next few years are all about.

00:22:44.540 How confident are you that we hold together through this election with everything that the left is doing to to advance riots on the streets and chaos in the voting booth?

00:22:59.680 Well, they're behaving like the South behaved in 1860. I mean, they're they're desperate.

00:23:05.360 They I think they fear that they're going to take an incredible beating.

00:23:08.660 And so they're almost planning for it. And they're planning to go berserk afterward, just the way that sort of South Carolina did before the 1860 election.

00:23:17.660 So the bottom line is our politics has become very nasty. They're trying to sort of subdue us.

00:23:23.260 And we realize that the only way to stop them is to subdue them.

00:23:26.960 And so this notion that we're sort of fellow citizens in this together, I think, has become, at the very least, quite frayed.

00:23:35.500 Wow. Dinesh, super, super clear. It is good to talk to you. Good to talk to you.

00:23:42.140 Best of luck on the movie Infidel opens today nationwide. Don't miss it.

00:23:47.380 I'm going to be there and watch it myself.

00:23:50.780 Good friend of the program. Jim Caviezel is the star.

00:23:54.140 He is always really good. Great story from Dinesh D'Souza.

00:23:58.360 Thanks, Dinesh. My pleasure. You bet.

00:24:03.820 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:24:15.780 We have Adam Carolla with us now. Hi, Adam.

00:24:18.360 Hey, thanks for having me.

00:24:19.860 You bet. Your movie is coming out this weekend.

00:24:24.960 No Safe Spaces. It's coming out on DVD.

00:24:27.740 It's worth seeing. Everybody should check it out.

00:24:30.080 But you also did CancelCon yesterday.

00:24:33.300 And didn't Facebook try to cancel your ads for CancelCon?

00:24:38.560 Yeah, they did. Or they did cancel the ads.

00:24:44.220 It's always ironic.

00:24:46.100 It's ironic when they're engaged in the behavior you're accusing them of engaging in.

00:24:53.080 And they're explaining to you that they don't engage in that behavior.

00:24:56.440 You know, it always reminds me of this.

00:25:03.860 And Glenn, you must have had this happen somewhere in your career where you have some young employee and you go,

00:25:11.160 I have to fire you because your attitude is bad and inappropriate. 0.99

00:25:17.000 And they go, screw you, old man. 1.00

00:25:19.480 Right. 1.00

00:25:19.920 And you go, this is what I'm talking about.

00:25:23.660 There are times when there are times because if you've ever had to fire somebody, it tears you apart.

00:25:29.120 But there are some that you fire and they respond that way.

00:25:31.720 And you're like, yeah, I made the right call there.

00:25:35.260 I absolutely made the right call.

00:25:37.080 But not only did I, I didn't make the right call because they were late.

00:25:41.660 They're actually engaging in the behavior that I'm firing them for while I'm firing them.

00:25:47.580 That's exactly right.

00:25:48.480 And, you know, the thing about, you know, social media and Twitter and Facebook and everything, here's my example.

00:25:58.420 They always pull down all these conservative people and they shadow everyone and they do everything.

00:26:06.080 But it's always conservative people.

00:26:08.420 Right.

00:26:08.700 And then at some point you make a fuss about it and then they go, oh, that was a mistake.

00:26:14.980 Yeah.

00:26:15.340 We had a little problem with the algorithm.

00:26:17.100 Sorry.

00:26:17.900 So here's my question.

00:26:19.580 It's basically like you go into a diner and every time you pay the cashier, she short changes you.

00:26:26.860 And then you go, you short change me every time.

00:26:29.660 And she goes, oh, the cash register is broken.

00:26:31.520 And then my answer would be, if the cash register is broken, wouldn't I get extra change half the time?

00:26:41.180 And wouldn't other customers, wouldn't every customer?

00:26:44.820 Why is it just me?

00:26:46.860 That's my point.

00:26:48.080 Wouldn't AOC get short change?

00:26:50.600 Right.

00:26:51.080 Like why, if it's broken, why isn't it broken for everybody?

00:26:56.020 Right.

00:26:56.480 Right.

00:26:57.000 Well, it's pending review.

00:26:59.640 So that case is active.

00:27:01.300 We're actively looking into it.

00:27:03.100 So we'll get back to you on that one.

00:27:06.260 So why did they cancel the ads?

00:27:10.560 Why?

00:27:11.140 For CancelCon.

00:27:12.300 Well, I'll, I gotta be honest with you and I'll, and I'll tell you, I'm not a, and I think you're this way too.

00:27:21.040 And I think a lot of folks like us are, which is, I got that word and the, and I didn't want to go on my program and start bitching and moaning about unfairly being whatever.

00:27:33.900 I said to my, I said, I said to the producers of No Safe Spaces, I said, send me the, send me the ad, send me the stuff Facebook pulled off.

00:27:44.840 Because if it said, you know, you know, uh, we're, you know, uh, you know, um, the, we're in war with black people.

00:27:53.300 Yeah. 0.92

00:27:55.040 I said, go find it.

00:27:57.620 And then I told my producer, I want you to read the ad.

00:28:00.860 I want you to see if you can flag anything on there.

00:28:03.420 And then he said, I didn't see anything bad on there.

00:28:06.360 And then I said to my producer, I said, here's what I want you to do.

00:28:10.800 I want you to try your hardest to make their case.

00:28:14.460 I want you to go make their case to me.

00:28:16.880 I don't want you to make me right.

00:28:18.520 I want you to make their case.

00:28:20.140 What is the reason if you were arguing for Facebook, what is the reason you would say you did it?

00:28:26.380 Because I want all the information.

00:28:28.220 I don't want to just go in there with the info stacked on my side of the scale.

00:28:34.240 I want, I want you to play devil's advocate.

00:28:36.160 And I hope you do that with your producers as well.

00:28:39.400 I do.

00:28:39.980 I want their side of the argument.

00:28:42.060 I don't want anything to come back and get me later on.

00:28:45.760 I want, I want you to make an argument.

00:28:47.360 Pretend you work for Facebook.

00:28:48.940 Now go to it.

00:28:51.280 Couldn't find anything by the way.

00:28:53.420 At least we tried.

00:28:54.540 So here's, here's one very similar.

00:28:57.540 There was a call that was leaked from Ukraine, a phone call between Poroshenko and Joe Biden right after Donald Trump.

00:29:06.720 One.

00:29:07.340 Have you heard the call?

00:29:10.480 No, I don't think I've heard it.

00:29:11.900 Okay.

00:29:12.280 Look, can we play that please?

00:29:14.060 Here's the people they put forward to be part of the transition have to be cleared to do that.

00:29:18.920 Just as we had to be cleared after the Bush administration, et cetera.

00:29:23.300 They have not done that.

00:29:24.980 They're trying to catch up and do it now since they fired the guy who headed up the transition just last week.

00:29:32.200 The reason I bother to tell you that is I have been somewhat limited on what I'm able to tell their team about Ukraine.

00:29:41.380 The truth of the matter is the incoming administration doesn't know a great deal about the situation.

00:29:48.700 Okay.

00:29:49.240 So it goes on from there.

00:29:50.500 But here he is saying, look, I can't tell you about things because there's an investigation going.

00:29:55.120 It looks like there's some crazy stuff happening.

00:29:57.340 But I, it, it also stopped me from telling him, telling them about what, you know, we've been doing.

00:30:03.080 So, you know, just be really careful because they don't know what we've been doing yet.

00:30:07.420 Uh, I don't know that, that seems pretty bad, but this has been now erased.

00:30:14.540 Yeah, go ahead.

00:30:15.720 Oh, can I defend Biden?

00:30:17.780 Yeah.

00:30:18.320 He was just reading what was in the teleprompter.

00:30:21.980 No, he doesn't.

00:30:23.180 No, he doesn't read the teleprompter.

00:30:25.040 He doesn't use one.

00:30:26.820 Oh, I thought they just loaded up.

00:30:29.540 Right.

00:30:30.120 Right.

00:30:30.680 So this has been a race from YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, all shadow banned.

00:30:35.100 We had to go on the dark web and grab this.

00:30:38.740 This was actually, I think what we ended up doing was going on a VPN and, you know, saying we were in Russia and got it off of YouTube there because it's still up in Russia, still up in the Ukraine, but not here.

00:30:52.020 It's not a deep fake.

00:30:53.800 But here's what they said.

00:30:54.880 This is, this is their response on why it had to be banned.

00:30:57.200 It is certainly an influence campaign, a diss, a, a, uh, it's misleading to an audience that doesn't have the full picture.

00:31:05.860 Since when is, when is that the standard?

00:31:10.760 Well, it's interesting.

00:31:12.540 Their new thing is say the information is not accurate.

00:31:18.440 And then in the event it, it is accurate, then say it's out of context, right?

00:31:25.600 They need more context.

00:31:27.280 Now, I don't, I don't know.

00:31:29.060 How can you get more context out of 30 seconds?

00:31:32.000 If it's just 30 seconds of an ad campaign or Twitter or a soundbite of a phone recording, like where's the context?

00:31:39.980 Well, obviously there's not much context to short form things and, but it's weird.

00:31:47.740 So they go from inaccurate to not enough context.

00:31:51.720 I think there's a third strata, which is because your father said so.

00:31:58.200 How do you think this is going to end up at the, in November?

00:32:02.580 Do you think we're, we're headed towards an impasse here?

00:32:06.300 I, the way I kind of feel about this stuff is in, in, in, in what we're talking about in the, in the news and how they're, you know, in the bag for Biden and, and social media and stuff like that.

00:32:25.140 It may work.

00:32:27.700 It will work.

00:32:29.120 It does work in the short term.

00:32:31.900 You know what I mean?

00:32:32.560 Like you running this campaign.

00:32:35.880 So I believe that CNN is, is kind of making a deal with the devil.

00:32:42.540 And I also kind of believe a lot of these news outlets and, and, and a lot of this, uh, social media, I think they're making a deal with the devil, which is like, this is good short term, but big picture.

00:32:58.880 Like I work with a whole bunch of young guys and I said to them the other day, CNN, if you were watching CNN five years ago or three years ago or eight years ago, what did you think when you story?

00:33:13.880 And they went, well, I just thought that's what happened.

00:33:17.360 And I said, what, when you watch CNN today, how do you feel?

00:33:20.540 And they go, well, I feel like I have to investigate and get the other side of the story.

00:33:26.320 And I said, okay, that's what CNN is doing to themselves.

00:33:30.020 Also, CNN and a lot of these places and a lot of these outlets, they are probably to their chagrin, making Ben Shapiro into a superstar.

00:33:45.240 You know what I mean?

00:33:45.880 Making a lot of voices on the right.

00:33:48.580 They are building these people up.

00:33:51.260 Like, I, you know, I was saying, I was doing an interview, uh, with the daily wire yesterday.

00:33:56.740 And I said, no, the reason we know who Dan Bongino is, is because of what they're doing.

00:34:05.300 I'm telling you, I think they will have played a huge role in the reelection of Donald Trump.

00:34:12.320 Should he win?

00:34:14.520 Cause I do, I do too.

00:34:16.020 Yeah.

00:34:16.240 Look, it, it, it, it's really, to me, it's kind of a timing thing.

00:34:20.720 Like if, if the election was six months from now, it would be, it would be a layup in, in terms of what their role was in a negative way.

00:34:29.860 Right.

00:34:30.180 It's sort of like what, what CNN is doing to the Democrats and, and Trump is in for Trump.

00:34:37.500 It's sort of like what the riders and the looters were doing for the Democrats.

00:34:42.840 Like just stop.

00:34:44.940 Yeah.

00:34:45.140 Just stop.

00:34:46.200 And so please don't go out and do any more of this.

00:34:51.420 You're actually pushing people in the other direction.

00:34:54.120 Yeah.

00:34:55.060 Yeah.

00:34:55.840 Uh, Adam Carolla, thank you so much for being on with us.
