Transcript
00:00:00.000
Well, hello and welcome to Monday, the day after Stu's birthday, the day of my birthday, I mean a date that will live in infamy.
00:00:08.280
And we're glad you're here. We talk a little bit about age and how fast it's going and how fast Joe Biden is going, quite honestly.
00:00:17.320
He's slipping in more ways than one, slipping, you know, in age and also slipping in the polls.
00:00:23.200
We talk about Biden versus Buttigieg. We talk about the coronavirus to panic or not to panic.
00:00:31.220
What's happening there? John Miller, who is our White House brief specialist at the blaze, he was in a lot of trouble.
00:00:38.500
He's still, at least at this hour, trending nationally as an incredible racist.
00:00:43.620
Good thing for him. He's black and we've all learned that you can't be racist and black.
00:00:47.440
But we called him on the carpet for a tweet that is totally understandable if you know the context.
00:00:55.560
And, of course, nobody in Hollywood at the Oscars cared about the context.
00:00:59.680
Also, Rudy Giuliani, the documents that he produced, the documents that we produced last Thursday night.
00:01:09.080
And also, if you're listening to this podcast, may I suggest you give Stu Does America a listen today, first day of the podcast.
00:01:19.880
You can subscribe for free, Glenn. Did you know that?
00:01:23.400
So, Stu Does America, wherever you get your podcasts or you could watch it at theblazeTV.com or YouTube.
00:01:31.360
Or, you know, he'll perform. He'll come to your house. He's so desperate.
00:01:39.080
You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:02:08.060
20, sitting in that little crib thing. But, hey, nobody came to the hospital to pick me up. So, anyway, today is a special day because Stu's show premieres tonight.
00:02:25.280
Yes, it is. You got the best executive producer ever. Ever.
00:02:30.000
The name of the show is Executive Produced by Glenn Beck. That's what the name of the show is.
00:02:37.080
Now, we've thrown Stu a bone and said, all right, Stu does America.
00:02:45.360
I'm not necessarily uncomfortable with this presentation because if it bombs really badly, you can be blamed.
00:03:03.160
I've been executive producer for you for how many years?
00:03:05.760
And now, you get to turn the tables on me tonight.
00:03:08.420
That's right. That's right. Tonight. So, what time is it air?
00:03:12.720
Can't make it. Can't make it. Too late in the day for me.
00:03:15.920
I've already had my Denny's early meal, like 3.30 in the afternoon.
00:03:21.120
Look, I'm turning into a senior citizen quickly, I think.
00:03:29.480
And then you, of course, are turning how old today?
00:03:46.600
I am. I didn't have it at 50. I didn't have it at 40.
00:03:49.400
I did at 40. At 40, I realized I have done nothing with my life.
00:03:56.940
Right. And then within 10 years, I had two successful television shows.
00:04:02.560
What? 15 number one New York Times bestsellers, national radio program, and started a company called The Blaze.
00:04:17.960
So the 50s are my underachieving years, I think.
00:04:21.780
You know, where it's just kind of like, yeah, I did all that 10 years ago.
00:04:26.860
So, eh, I'm going to—but there's something weird, because on my 60th, three years away, all my contracts expire.
00:04:34.340
And I am looking at—you know, I saw Rush Limbaugh.
00:04:37.600
And I hope he has accomplished his dreams, but my dad is haunting me in my dreams.
00:04:45.740
I'm, like, having nightmares about my dad all the time.
00:04:50.600
Because he told you your whole life, basically, that all he wanted to do was eventually get to a place where he could just go out and play golf and enjoy a round of golf every day.
00:05:07.260
Yeah, because he was in such—his body was in such bad condition from working.
00:05:17.660
So, anyway, so he—you know, his body was so broken down by the time he retired that he couldn't do anything.
00:05:25.020
And I'm, like, hmm, no, I'm not going to do that.
00:05:30.440
No, I'm just going to start doing the things I want to do.
00:05:33.440
Well, because you made an interesting point earlier today that I thought was going to haunt you for a while.
00:05:40.060
Because your career, when you got nationally syndicated in radio, people—I don't know if people know this.
00:05:50.520
So, before September 11th happened, we were supposed to start the radio shows in a national form in January 2002.
00:05:58.680
And then they moved it up after September 11th to just launch it early and just, like, go, you know, bootstrap toward a—you know, we just went with it.
00:06:06.800
And so that's a big moment in your career, 2001.
00:06:10.580
Is there any observation about the difference between that time and today that you'd want to—
00:06:16.600
Doesn't really seem—seems like it's gone pretty quickly.
00:06:30.860
So, basically, you are equidistant from September 11th and your 75th birthday.
00:06:38.340
I realized that the other day, and I was like, good Lord, I'm dead.
00:06:42.920
I might as well start putting myself in the box now if it goes that fast.
00:06:48.880
And it was my dad's 75th that he was, like, starting to really be broken down.
00:06:57.680
You could probably run for the Democratic nomination to get that going for you.
00:07:03.460
Did you see Bloomberg, where he was like, what?
00:07:14.120
I've been an American a lot longer than Pete Buttigieg.
00:07:17.800
In fact, I've been an American longer than Joe Biden.
00:07:27.700
That's what he said—what was it, on Thursday?
00:07:35.320
They just are—they're just going and going and going.
00:07:37.880
Yeah, because, you know, Biden looks like he's slipping.
00:07:40.440
Bloomberg has not—I mean, he's not—he would be a terrible president and is a horrible human being in a hundred different ways.
00:07:50.220
He does not feel like he's, what, he's got to be at least 79?
00:08:08.120
What did you—are you checking the new Iowa app she's using?
00:08:13.620
She's outsourced the search to Shadow Incorporated.
00:08:21.920
She's trying to calculate with birthdays, but you get the point here.
00:08:28.420
And Joe Biden, I'm just about just a couple of—
00:08:40.020
This is not as bad as the thing I unfortunately discovered quite recently called the Brimley
00:08:54.680
So basically, it's a Twitter account, and all it does is tweet people who cross the Brimley
00:09:03.860
It's the exact age to the day that Wilford Brimley was when Cocoon came out in theaters.
00:09:13.880
He was like, I have to go in this alien pool so I can be younger again.
00:09:20.820
And I remember in my head, seeing that movie and thinking he was like 152 years old.
00:09:28.880
Just be careful, because I'm still going to be alive.
00:09:31.160
You're probably still going to be working for me when you hit 56.
00:09:38.120
So I thought to myself, I would like to see how close Glenn is to the Brimley Cocoon Line
00:09:46.380
And by the time that I cross the Brimley Cocoon Line, he'll be so, like he'll be nine homes
00:09:52.340
Like he'll be in, I'll basically hospice at that point, so I should be fine.
00:10:00.380
Wilford Brimley, when Cocoon came out in theaters, was 18,530 days old.
00:10:14.240
You passed the Wilford Brimley Cocoon Line about six years ago.
00:10:22.280
I'm like, I wonder if they noted when Glenn crossed the line.
00:10:27.780
So you can't even go back to the time that you crossed the Wilford Brimley Cocoon Line.
00:10:34.760
Just remember that I was about 40 something when I got my first real network show.
00:10:59.260
These are some of the recent people who have just crossed the line.
00:11:01.960
Think about what Wilford Brimley in the movie Cocoon felt like when that movie came out.
00:11:20.180
Tucker Carlson is older than Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon.
00:11:37.480
But it's like, you know, you got a head of white hair.
00:11:40.980
You just, how come that worked for Richard Gere and it doesn't work for me?
00:11:59.880
Okay, so can we talk a little bit about, uh, Joe Biden and his slippage?
00:12:10.680
Uh, I think that Joe Biden, if he doesn't, if he comes in fourth or fifth in New Hampshire,
00:12:19.920
Yeah, he is fourth in most of the most recent polls.
00:12:23.120
Okay, so if he comes in fourth or fifth in New Hampshire and it shows him there hasn't
00:12:28.800
been a single poll out in South Carolina since the Iowa caucus.
00:12:33.040
If those internal polls show him polling at third or fourth, I think he drops out.
00:12:42.440
I think there's a good chance if New Hampshire comes through, particularly if Klobuchar passes
00:12:49.840
him, if he finishes fifth in New Hampshire, how does he go on?
00:12:54.640
Because these, these polls are going to change in a big way.
00:12:59.980
He wasn't raising money when he was the leader.
00:13:12.520
The recent, the most recent poll, which is from, yeah, before really any of this stuff
00:13:18.960
Iowa, Iowa and New Hampshire will change all of that.
00:13:22.240
So Bernie Sanders, it was a dead heat statistical tie, really.
00:13:33.280
And I, you know, if Sanders won both measures of the popular vote, so he got more votes in
00:13:39.000
the state by both measures, he just, the way they assigned delegates, it was sort of a
00:13:43.860
situation, you know, the same type of thing that happens with the Electoral College in
00:13:48.260
Although their process was much more screwed up than the Electoral College ever was.
00:13:59.300
I think even more foreign sounding than even like Barack Obama, because we were, you know,
00:14:07.220
We knew that those names were in our life all the time.
00:14:11.220
And we were told during the Obama administration that we fear strange foreign sounding names.
00:14:17.700
I think Buttigieg is more strange and foreign than Barack Hussein Obama.
00:14:24.620
You kind of know where, you know, where that, where that name's coming from.
00:14:50.440
I feared the guy who kept saying he wanted to massively expand our government control of our economy and fundamentally transform the United States of America and who today is being called by the Washington Post a centrist candidate in comparison to what they're running now.
00:15:07.540
The headline of the story is, uh, uh, let's see, where is it?
00:15:11.700
No, no, Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden are not centrists from the Washington Post is telling you this.
00:15:28.780
When's the last time the Washington Post said anything true?
00:15:31.100
And they're comparing, uh, they're comparing, um, their Buttigieg and, um, uh, Biden to just the stuff Obama was proposing.
00:15:44.420
And again, I never considered Biden a centrist.
00:15:46.860
Remember, he was one of the most, him and Biden were the more like one in two most liberal senators in the Senate when they were in Obama.
00:15:52.740
And, and, and, you know, and by the way, Obama is not a centrist either.
00:15:56.060
Can we just point out that yesterday in the Oscars, uh, what a surprise Barack Obama got an Oscar, his new series that they paid him a whole bunch of money for, I think a hundred million dollars at Netflix.
00:16:12.340
He got an Oscar and the director of this documentary that he made, which was about the American factory, um, it got up and said, Hey, we just, we made this because we have a fundamental belief that
00:16:24.900
the world will be a better place when the workers of the world unite.
00:16:40.000
Do you remember when they would get mad at us for calling them socialists?
00:16:44.040
That's one of the things we're going to do on Stude Does America tonight with Bernie, because it's like, do you, this is not long ago.
00:16:49.060
So we're just, just very recently, we were, there were articles and, and all sorts of things saying what a smear it was to call a Democrat, a socialist.
00:16:59.300
They've been, these Republicans have been trying this forever and it's not true.
00:17:05.180
There's hints of racism behind it all over the place.
00:17:20.980
All it is, is the pictures of the pretty dogs, the adorable dogs.
00:17:36.880
They do, they do run polls and they say, I think it's 41% of African-Americans are uncomfortable having a gay president.
00:17:43.320
But how many are uncomfortable having a half man, half dog president?
00:17:50.860
You would think in the old days it would have been in 100, you know, 100%.
00:17:58.600
But now half dog people can just run for president higgledy-piggledy and nobody cares.
00:18:05.780
That America, that's the state of our union today.
00:18:09.720
Why didn't, why didn't Trump put that in the speech?
00:18:11.960
Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck Program.
00:18:26.080
If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:18:31.040
It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.
00:18:39.160
And John was watching the Oscars last night, and I think it was his first day with Twitter,
00:18:45.280
uh, and made a, uh, made a comment that, John, John, John.
00:18:59.960
What is your grade, what was your grade point average at Columbia University?
00:19:06.520
It was, it was, it was close to, it was a three, seven around.
00:19:13.340
What part of Twitter is too complicated for you?
00:19:20.280
If you're looking for insightful comments and, you know, uh, and well thought out commentary,
00:19:27.460
And when you're live tweeting an event like the Superbowl or the Oscars, um, sometimes,
00:19:32.700
you know, you, uh, you don't phrase things as, as, uh, eloquently as you would like.
00:19:41.960
I think this is, I mean, I'm going to get, I'm, I'm, I'm going to defend you here in a
00:19:47.940
second, but this is one of the dumbest tweets I've ever seen.
00:19:51.020
Cause it's like you read it and you're like, Oh, what read the, read the non eloquent tweet
00:20:03.100
I don't that it's, uh, but I do have it in my, uh, notification.
00:20:09.560
A man named Bong John Joon-ho was a wins the Oscar for best original screenplay over once
00:20:18.160
Then he proceeds to give the rest of his speech in Korean.
00:20:22.760
Now if you read, if you're reading by the tweet up until that last line, which
00:20:29.700
First of all, let me just say, but let me just say, uh, the, it was interpreted and
00:20:34.940
I can see how it was interpreted that way with the interpretation was that I meant to
00:20:40.820
Which would have worked in like 1952 on the media, but yeah, right.
00:20:44.640
I've never heard, I've never heard a lot of anti-Korean monologues from John Miller in
00:20:50.420
So I did not mean that Koreans would be the downfall of America and you know, you can't
00:20:55.900
let the, the tweet sit in a vacuum, which I know is hard on Twitter, but if you look,
00:21:01.160
there's a theme to my tweets, which the whole night I was complaining about, you know, the,
00:21:07.520
And, uh, and I saw this foreign film, which frankly I thought was okay, not great.
00:21:19.660
I mean, I mean, I was complaining about how there was not a single speech that had been
00:21:25.060
You know, the thing started with Janelle Monae.
00:21:26.940
She's complaining about the lack of female directors and how she's so happy to be a black
00:21:31.440
queer woman there, Chris Rock and, um, and what's the, uh, Steve Martin, the white Steve
00:21:35.980
Martin talks about the white, look you racist, white hair, white hair, by the way, John is
00:21:44.140
And we all know because we've been drilled on this black men can not be racist.
00:21:50.740
So what I thought, but that's where you'd be wrong.
00:21:54.960
Uh, and then, you know, you've got Brad Pitt talking about Bolton.
00:21:58.500
They love Bolton now, which I think is hilarious.
00:22:00.140
They think he's the best and how he didn't get it in 45 seconds to talk about, um, about
00:22:06.400
And then you just, and then you had Obama Netflix documentary producer, that person quoting
00:22:12.740
Um, and then, you know, so I'm talking about all of that.
00:22:15.260
And then you have the screenplay go to a foreign film or, you know, it's now it's international
00:22:28.140
And I was not impressed with it as I, as much as I was some of the other films.
00:22:34.440
And then I, uh, you know, I'm live tweeting the event and, uh, and then you just, your,
00:22:43.420
You're just like, we should have won the Korean war.
00:22:47.080
If you watch my show, that's, that's one of the bigger themes.
00:22:53.700
I mean, when you, John, when you look at the, the context of your tweets, it describes
00:22:58.100
Like there's, I don't think anybody could read the tweets around, uh, this tweet and
00:23:08.520
I think John Legend and his wife, uh, Chrissy Teigen.
00:23:11.740
You know, when they quote tweet you, um, the context kind of gets taken away.
00:23:16.560
Um, and, uh, and then Hollywood starts going after you like a bunch of stars.
00:23:19.600
But we always heard, we always heard that racism really was about a power dynamic.
00:23:25.100
Chrissy Teigen and John, uh, John Legend, aren't they more powerful than you?
00:23:32.000
Uh, you would think that they would recognize that.
00:23:34.060
And that's what we have been told is that it's, you know, black people can't be racist
00:23:37.720
because in order to be racist, you have to be the underdog.
00:23:45.560
You have to be the one who is oppressing and has been oppressing for hundreds and hundreds
00:23:49.500
All of a sudden that switches though, when Hollywood gets involved.
00:23:52.520
It's interesting to you as a young African-American gentleman, uh, building his own business after
00:23:57.680
graduating from Columbia, you are apparently, uh, the racist and Chrissy Teigen and every,
00:24:03.560
every other woke white person who has been bashing you on Twitter, those people are not.
00:24:08.320
And I, it's, it is a fascinating dynamic, John, because I mean, look, you can, this is an easy
00:24:15.220
And I think this is the biggest problem with Twitter more than catching someone saying
00:24:20.840
People try to catch people in the position where they can, they can, uh, like they can
00:24:27.440
actually say they believe it's bad, even if they know it's not right.
00:24:31.940
Like if they can, you know, in a way sort of like communicate to the rest of the world
00:24:36.060
that I, I, I believe this is terrible, whether they believe it or not, even if they know if
00:24:42.300
they read the other tweets, they'd probably be able to figure out that that is not what
00:24:45.620
you were saying, but if you can convince the rest of your audience, uh, in some sort
00:24:51.300
of, uh, uh, a way that can explain and, and, and bring through the people to believe that
00:25:01.880
And you know, the, in the fascinating thing is that in the replies, you have all of these
00:25:06.220
people who are, you know, they come at you with the normal, um, slurs, which they always
00:25:10.640
do, you know, they use towards black conservatives, uncle Tom, Coon, house Negro, et cetera.
00:25:15.980
Um, and they, and you have all these people who are supposed to be showing how tolerant
00:25:19.900
they are and how much of a racist I am and how terrible of a person I am.
00:25:23.960
Here's what Chrissy Teigen tweeted at me just to show how lovely of an individual she is
00:25:28.920
compared to how, uh, grotesque of an individual I am.
00:25:34.700
Your family is embarrassed because she apparently knows my family.
00:25:37.720
She says at gatherings, they are literally like, how's John doing that dumb little F word
00:25:48.620
And then she said, come say hi if you're out tonight, because apparently, um, you know,
00:25:53.080
these people in Hollywood think that everybody, uh, lives in LA and goes out with them at
00:26:01.600
I would have actually liked to see that conversation.
00:26:09.440
I mean, here she is just braiding you as not only racist, but stupid again, like you, you
00:26:17.700
Well, what is, she might be a mix of some sort, but I'm not sure she's not, but I'm fully
00:26:23.920
And so she, uh, you know, so she has the power dynamic over me still.
00:26:28.000
I don't, I don't know what the, uh, the, the intersectional Olympics say about such a matter.
00:26:42.220
You're still, you're still trending nationally.
00:26:46.260
I'd like to be trending for other things than, but you know, look, other than your hatred
00:26:51.860
for all Koreans, Koreans, odd hatred to pick up in the year 2020.
00:26:57.200
I, it's just John, John, John, John, John, what are you thinking?
00:27:02.380
I remember all the Korean restaurants we went to in the past.
00:27:07.160
You were always there going, I will not go in there with you.
00:27:16.900
No, it is deep seated hatred, deep seated hatred.
00:27:26.320
Well, here's the hard thing about live tweeting is that, you know, you're trying to get out
00:27:30.180
something very interesting to say about these things.
00:27:33.300
First of all, but you're trying to say something interesting while trying not to miss the next
00:27:38.500
So you're kind of just like, ah, that looks good enough to me.
00:27:42.260
And usually it doesn't result in being a nationally trending story.
00:27:45.520
Usually it just results in like, you know, maybe a few people grumble about it.
00:27:48.540
Um, so this kind of changes my perspective on it a bit.
00:27:51.820
You know, sometimes you do have to proofread and sometimes you do have to just not hit
00:27:56.000
So I have to figure out how to, uh, not hit send.
00:28:01.500
Maybe read how to maybe read the tweet over and, and just, you know, finesse it a bit.
00:28:07.620
You know, what's amazing is you get this rap for being this flamethrower and, you know,
00:28:18.140
Uh, and you are, you've always been one of the most soft spoken, non-confrontational kind
00:28:25.040
And all of a sudden you're, you're like, yeah, Chrissy, bring it on.
00:28:33.540
I think, you know, if I saw her in person, because, you know, they get vicious and especially
00:28:37.040
in Hollywood and, you know, they've got TMZ there and they feel empowered.
00:28:40.000
And so, uh, you know, in person it might not be a, you know, I might, I might be respectful.
00:28:44.900
I might be nice to her, but Twitter is a different animal.
00:28:49.280
The, uh, problem with Twitter is that it just lets everybody, you know, I doubt Chrissy
00:28:55.820
Um, so it just lets every, it just lets everybody say whatever they want.
00:29:03.560
Uh, and you know, the, the problem is that's part of what makes Twitter fun.
00:29:07.260
Uh, but it's also part of the part of Twitter that brings out the worst in us.
00:29:11.080
Can you imagine like in all seriousness, reverse this for just a second.
00:29:13.860
If you had a, uh, a conservative celebrity, right.
00:29:17.660
Uh, out there and just someone makes a tweet, let's just say like one of these, uh,
00:29:22.780
far left black, uh, nationalist type of people they have on MSNBC all the time and tweeted
00:29:33.000
And the white conservative was, was critical of this crazy liberal opinion and use language
00:29:38.280
like Chrissy Teigen use, which is despicable in every single way.
00:29:43.100
This story would be totally reversed and the conservative would be the one in trouble today.
00:29:51.120
And is there any doubt in anyone's mind that that's what that would be true?
00:29:57.640
And I mean, yeah, we have to be aware of those rules, but, uh, I mean, conservatives have
00:30:01.820
always had to play by a different set of rules and, uh, and, and that's just that, that is
00:30:08.420
Um, and to a certain extent we've accepted those rules, haven't we?
00:30:11.520
We've, we've said we don't get to, we don't get the same luxuries as the left does
00:30:16.280
We're not able to, you know, have people come to our defense and say, well, no, you've
00:30:22.540
Um, and in a certain way, we've kind of just said, well, these are the rules we have to
00:30:26.460
And in a way we've, we've, we've lost in that sense where we've totally, um, broken
00:30:31.920
down and said, um, well, we're going to play by those rules because we still, to a certain
00:30:36.300
extent, want to be, you know, a part of the club.
00:30:38.760
And we still want to be accepted by, um, you know, whether it's Hollywood or the political
00:30:44.840
elite here in DC, we've said, you know, we want them to a certain extent to accept us
00:30:50.140
And we're going to accept some of their rules, not all of them maybe, but we're going to
00:30:53.660
accept some of their rules so that they can accept us as legitimate and so that we can
00:30:58.040
have credibility and so that they can see us as, you know, as not a wingnut and completely
00:31:04.000
So to a certain extent, I believe on that front we've lost because they don't give a crap.
00:31:08.040
They'll say whatever kind of crazy crap they want and they'll get away with it.
00:31:11.940
We've acknowledged we're not going to get away with it.
00:31:14.240
And so we have to, we have to be a little more careful.
00:31:19.720
Um, I didn't go to college and even I'm better at Twitter than you are.
00:31:28.940
Now I've, now I'm going through Glenn, your old tweet.
00:31:37.400
Uh, and the second is I've discovered that America suddenly cares that, uh, Chrissy
00:31:42.680
Teigen can speak, which who knew who cared with a lot of F bombs and other words, but
00:31:53.800
I believe last time we heard from Chrissy Teigen, she invited you to, to lunch or something.
00:31:56.900
Remember that was going to happen at one point, but you don't remember she was in some,
00:32:02.780
I don't remember exactly what the story was, but she was, she wrote, I think it was a
00:32:06.320
Rolling Stone interview and she wrote that, who do you want to go to lunch with more than
00:32:11.720
But that's, that's when she just saw me as a piece of meat and I was not going to be her
00:32:18.420
And it was all, it was like, no, Chrissy, no, no.
00:32:40.280

So I want to play some audio from Rudy Giuliani.
00:33:02.900
He was on a water's world on Fox on a Saturday night.
00:33:09.920
I have what I used to call when I was a U S attorney, a smoking gun.
00:33:16.200
It occurred just at the time that Shokin was fired and it's about 14.6 million.
00:33:23.540
And this is a notice from the Latvian government to the Ukrainian government that Hunter Biden
00:33:28.440
is under investigation for corruption, corruption affair.
00:33:35.180
14.8 million goes from Ukraine to a company in Latvia disguised as a loan.
00:33:42.240
Then it goes from Latvia to another company disguised as another loan in in Cyprus.
00:33:49.580
And then it goes to the U S we lose track of it because when Shokin gets it just about the day he's fired.
00:33:57.060
There's no money in here for Devin Archer and and Hunter Biden.
00:34:01.480
So this is the document that I showed you, uh, last week, uh, Rudy Giuliani is releasing this.
00:34:16.680
Um, and they are investigating Hunter Biden now for money laundering.
00:34:21.120
This is the prosecutor's office from the Republic of Latvia office for prevention of laundering
00:34:45.880
Um, it says, dear colleagues, the office for prevention of laundering of proceeds,
00:34:53.920
Further in text, Lafayette, uh, the Latvian FIU is currently investigating suspicious activity
00:35:02.540
According to publicly available information, Burisma holding limited and its director, Hunter
00:35:10.560
The following transactions made to Burisma holding limited, uh, account as Pravat bank are known
00:35:18.700
to the Latvian FIU from July of 2012 until July of 2015.
00:35:24.880
Now, by the way, this memo was issued before Trump was in office.
00:35:29.320
Uh, 14,665,982 US dollars and 336,015 euros were received from wire logic technology as payments
00:35:47.680
Now, if you watch the show on Thursday night, you, you realize that loans are the way this
00:35:55.720
You loan somebody, you know, a bunch, a bunch of money.
00:36:07.600
The person who's been cleaning the money says, okay, well, we're going to cut our losses here
00:36:13.380
and we'll send you back your million dollars, if you will.
00:36:17.720
Um, but we're going to, we're going to keep 10% of it because that's our fee for such a
00:36:28.920
So the first one is $14 million, just almost, almost $15 million, uh, from wire logic technology.
00:36:37.120
Uh, then from July, 2015 till December, 2015, a total of 1,964,375 US dollars were received
00:36:49.020
from Digitech organization as payments for other loan agreements.
00:36:53.300
The funds were partially transferred from Burisma Holding Limited account to Devin Archer, Hunter
00:37:01.180
Biden, Alan Apter, and Alexander Kwanazniewski, I think, uh, see attached for partial movement
00:37:10.880
The Latvian, uh, FIU turns to the Ukrainian FIU and kindly asked for the following information.
00:37:18.300
Are the mentioned companies known to the Ukrainian FIU?
00:37:25.380
Please confirm if any of these persons are suspected of corruption or any other criminal
00:37:29.920
offense and if criminal proceedings have been initiated.
00:37:33.620
Is there any information that the funds transferred to Burisma Holding Limited account have criminal
00:37:42.740
On the grounds of possible legalization of proceeds derived from criminal activity and corruption,
00:37:47.680
please grant us permission to share the information included in the reply to this request with
00:37:52.060
Latvian law enforcement entity entities, uh, for intelligence use purposes only.
00:38:03.480
But this is what Rudy Giuliani says is the smoking gun.
00:38:07.940
Jason Buttrell is with us and, uh, Jason has been on this particular document since we
00:38:25.220
So this is sent at a time when the left and the media has told everyone, all of you, that
00:38:31.640
there was no investigation going on at the time with Burisma.
00:38:35.740
So firing the prosecutor general, Biden getting him fired, had nothing at all to do with the
00:38:43.880
Now that memo was sent just a couple of weeks after we have shown you and the Ukrainian media
00:38:51.900
that that is false, that Shokin, the prosecutor general initiated, started seizing the property
00:39:00.420
And he said in an interview that his very next move was to interview very specifically Devin
00:39:08.300
So this memo comes out before he files that court move after, after that's the Latvian
00:39:19.040
Look what we found is, would this be interesting to you?
00:39:22.620
And then Biden comes just a couple of weeks later, does he not?
00:39:28.660
So the media is shown by this document as being total and complete liars that there was nothing
00:39:42.160
We told you on Thursday, that's not true because of this document, this document in place with
00:39:51.580
the prosecutor general in Ukraine, him, his paperwork, which we have also shown you filing
00:39:59.560
court proceedings to go after Burisma for money laundering and corruption.
00:40:05.660
Then this document, then two weeks later, Joe Biden comes in and gets that guy fired.
00:40:21.100
This is a case that, which you pointed out on the special, that they had been on since
00:40:28.460
They knew money was getting put into Burisma and it was just going poof.
00:40:32.200
And it was all coming through Privat Bank, which it says in that document as well.
00:40:36.060
And by the way, when we're talking money, your money, your money, $1.8 billion of your hard
00:40:49.260
And now most of that money goes to shell companies, which we cannot track.
00:40:52.640
That's why this is so crucial because most of the time it goes to a random shell company
00:40:59.280
Now we have a firm destination that's not a shell company and it's a U.S. citizen.
00:41:06.260
Laundered funds went to Hunter Biden as per this document.
00:41:10.160
So now, now do you see why this is so important for us to look into him?
00:41:15.420
We now have the endpoint for some of this laundered money that might be our $1.8 missing billion.
00:41:22.920
If it's not our part of our $1.8 billion, this is the system they've used to launder our $1.8 billion.
00:41:33.740
It is not as important to make sure that Hunter Biden is arrested for this and maybe Joe Biden or anyone else involved.
00:41:43.180
It's, to me, more important that we find out what happened to that $1.8 billion because it explains a lot.
00:41:51.940
It explains the entire Russian relationship right now.
00:41:57.900
I believe that the federal government could verify that there was a secret war that was authorized by Barack Obama against Russia.
00:42:21.100
But Hillary Clinton and the State Department, they knew what that meant when the Maidan was happening and the revolution was coming.
00:42:29.380
If the United States didn't stand with Ukraine, Russia could have crippled them.
00:42:35.220
But if you have a president who doesn't want anything to do with that, what do you do?
00:42:40.920
Joe Kerry, John Kerry, actually confirmed while on the campaign trail in Iowa for Joe Biden.
00:42:51.060
Do we still have that clip from last week where he is confirming that, yeah, this was known from the top?
00:42:57.860
And it's interesting because what he says was we had to get that prosecutor out, not because he was corrupt, but because we had to win the war of Maidan, which is the name of their revolution.
00:43:15.860
Listen, I will tell you, because as secretary of state, I was deeply involved in this.
00:43:22.240
All of us in the administration were trying to get rid of that prosecutor from Obama to the secretary of state to the vice president.
00:43:33.080
And we knew if Ukraine was going to survive and win the revolution in the end, the Maidan, they had to get rid of that prosecutor.
00:43:43.880
Why would they have to get rid of that prosecutor?
00:43:47.260
Why would they have to protect something that they had the documentation on that was in a major international money laundering scheme?
00:43:58.520
And that that Hunter Biden was specifically involved and named by a foreign country as a recipient of some of this foreign money laundered money.
00:44:13.200
And even more so in the context of this prosecutor hadn't even been on the job for a year yet.
00:44:19.800
They tried to make Shoken out to be this crazy bad guy that was he was there for, I think, 10 months at this point.
00:44:26.980
Like, how many cases could he even looked in at that point?
00:44:29.820
The other prosecutor that was that I think everyone conflates with Shoken, he was the guy that wouldn't look into a lot of a lot of cases.
00:44:39.680
That was right after the revolution that Maidan, this one prosecutor.
00:44:43.320
Because the one thing the Ukrainian people want is a cleanup of the corruption.
00:44:47.900
They know the corruption is what's killing their country.
00:44:50.840
And wasn't Shoken initially Obama's, like, chosen replacement for the corruption?
00:44:56.360
Yeah, we've had two of good guys that became prosecutor generals.
00:45:01.780
And he was like, get rid of that one guy because he won't investigate some of these things.
00:45:07.760
Then he's literally on for a handful of months.
00:45:10.120
And oh my gosh, somehow he became this crazy guy we have to get rid of.
00:45:13.820
Because of the, quoting John Kerry, we had to get rid of him if we were going to win the revolution.
00:45:27.880
Unless you're laundering money and you are using the main recipient, Kolomoisky, who we've told you about, is far worse, far worse than Tony Soprano.
00:45:40.880
This is a guy who executes his rivals with a chainsaw to the neck.
00:45:50.240
Why did we, at the same time we're getting this from Latvia, saying, hey, they're laundering money.
00:45:56.760
Why, at the same time, is Joe Biden saying, you know what, give him a visa.
00:46:02.680
He can do international business wherever he wants.
00:46:07.040
$1.8 billion goes into his bank, where it suddenly disappears.
00:46:13.340
Then he's made a governor of the state, one of the states in Ukraine, that's right at the war lines, the battle lines of Russia, where all of it is heating up.
00:46:28.140
And that guy becomes known as the guy who finances the war against Russia.
00:46:34.340
This is really not that hard to figure this out.
