The Glenn Beck Program - Best of The Program ｜ Guests： Jon Miller & Jason Buttrill ｜ 2⧸10⧸20

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. 0.99

00:00:47.440 But we called him on the carpet for a tweet that is totally understandable if you know the context. 0.96

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.

00:01:06.740 It looks like this is headed forward.

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.

00:01:17.940 And I hear it's really great.

00:01:19.880 You can subscribe for free, Glenn. Did you know that?

00:01:22.060 Yeah, I did.

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.

00:01:34.960 That's true.

00:01:39.080 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:01:51.240 Glenn!

00:01:52.060 Hey! 0.99

00:01:53.020 Hey! 0.99

00:01:53.580 How are you?

00:01:54.820 Pretty good. Happy birthday, Glenn.

00:01:55.980 Happy birthday to you.

00:01:57.940 Glenn's birthday is today, mine yesterday.

00:02:00.260 Yesterday. It's great.

00:02:02.360 We were in the nursery, side by side.

00:02:04.980 Mm-hmm.

00:02:05.840 I was still, what, 20?

00:02:06.900 I don't know if I feel comfortable with that.

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.

00:02:24.020 Yes.

00:02:24.580 Big deal.

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.

00:02:36.820 Really?

00:02:37.080 Now, we've thrown Stu a bone and said, all right, Stu does America.

00:02:43.200 Mm-hmm.

00:02:43.800 But.

00:02:45.360 I'm not necessarily uncomfortable with this presentation because if it bombs really badly, you can be blamed.

00:02:52.260 No, I can just say it's the talent.

00:02:53.920 Is that what executive producers get to do?

00:02:56.700 Yep.

00:02:56.720 Because I've never had that ability.

00:02:58.820 Yep, it's the talent.

00:02:59.700 Yeah.

00:03:00.060 I tried.

00:03:00.840 Interesting.

00:03:01.400 I tried. Yeah, he just wouldn't listen to me.

00:03:03.160 I've been executive producer for you for how many years?

00:03:05.340 Uh-huh.

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?

00:03:11.480 8 p.m. Eastern.

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.

00:03:23.880 We'll tape it before you go to Denny's.

00:03:25.280 Okay, will we?

00:03:26.100 If you want, yes.

00:03:26.680 All right, all right.

00:03:27.440 We could do that.

00:03:28.040 Yeah.

00:03:28.260 Yeah, pretty excited about that.

00:03:29.480 And then you, of course, are turning how old today?

00:03:34.140 40.

00:03:34.540 70.

00:03:36.300 Huh?

00:03:36.940 Huh?

00:03:38.540 56, which I'm telling you, not good. Not good.

00:03:45.120 You're having trouble with this, aren't you?

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.

00:03:54.400 Mm-hmm.

00:03:54.600 Nothing with my life.

00:03:55.900 That's pretty much accurate.

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.

00:04:13.360 By 50, I wanted to die.

00:04:17.960 So the 50s are my underachieving years, I think.

00:04:21.560 Mm-hmm.

00:04:21.780 You know, where it's just kind of like, yeah, I did all that 10 years ago.

00:04:26.740 Right.

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.

00:04:49.460 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.

00:05:02.540 And he never—

00:05:03.860 Never did it.

00:05:05.000 Never did it.

00:05:05.560 Never did it.

00:05:06.000 Because he got sick, or was it—

00:05:07.260 Yeah, because he was in such—his body was in such bad condition from working.

00:05:12.020 He did hard, you know, labor.

00:05:13.280 Yeah.

00:05:13.760 Picking up 100 pounds.

00:05:14.120 Just like his son.

00:05:15.160 I mean, it's the hard labor like you.

00:05:16.940 Hard labor.

00:05:17.320 Mm-hmm.

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.

00:05:28.120 You're going to try to get out early?

00:05:29.260 I'm going to try to get out early.

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.

00:05:46.180 You were nationally syndicated in radio.

00:05:47.400 We signed the contract in August of 2001.

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.

00:06:05.440 Uh-huh, uh-huh.

00:06:06.800 And so that's a big moment in your career, 2001.

00:06:10.020 Yeah, yeah.

00:06:10.580 Is there any observation about the difference between that time and today that you'd want to—

00:06:15.060 It doesn't seem like a long time ago.

00:06:16.600 Doesn't really seem—seems like it's gone pretty quickly.

00:06:19.760 Mm-hmm.

00:06:20.120 Like, really fast.

00:06:21.320 Really fast.

00:06:21.960 Yeah.

00:06:22.220 Because it's 2020, and that's 19 years.

00:06:25.040 Uh-huh.

00:06:25.540 Did you do any math that—

00:06:27.120 Nope.

00:06:27.880 Did no math.

00:06:28.980 Really?

00:06:29.360 No, did no math.

00:06:30.140 I can help you with it.

00:06:30.860 So, basically, you are equidistant from September 11th and your 75th birthday.

00:06:36.740 Yeah.

00:06:37.080 Thank you.

00:06:37.780 Thank you.

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.

00:06:54.720 Yeah.

00:06:55.260 Yeah.

00:06:55.700 And, you know, I will say you're 75th.

00:06:57.680 You could probably run for the Democratic nomination to get that going for you.

00:07:01.060 No, I think you have to be 80 now.

00:07:02.420 You have to be 80?

00:07:03.040 You have to be 80.

00:07:03.460 Did you see Bloomberg, where he was like, what?

00:07:08.140 I'm not as American as Pete Buttigieg.

00:07:12.160 I'm older than Pete Buttigieg.

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.

00:07:22.280 That's not something—

00:07:23.560 Shh, shh, shh, shh, sweetheart.

00:07:25.200 That's not something you share.

00:07:26.520 Is he older than Biden?

00:07:27.700 That's what he said—what was it, on Thursday?

00:07:30.340 I had no idea.

00:07:32.080 Yeah, is that true?

00:07:33.240 No, he's a lot like Trump.

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. 0.75

00:07:45.500 Oh, my gosh.

00:07:45.980 But I don't think he doesn't—

00:07:46.920 Horrible.

00:07:47.460 He doesn't feel like he's slipping, per se.

00:07:49.180 No.

00:07:49.600 He doesn't feel like that guy.

00:07:50.220 He does not feel like he's, what, he's got to be at least 79?

00:07:53.180 How old is he?

00:07:56.700 Okay, Bloomberg's 77, Biden's 78.

00:07:58.660 But they're basically the same age.

00:07:59.640 I would have guessed early 70s for Bloomberg.

00:08:01.420 Yeah, me too.

00:08:02.860 Me too.

00:08:04.500 No, Biden is 77.

00:08:05.640 No, I'm not saying Biden is 77.

00:08:06.680 We're getting—

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.

00:08:20.320 Okay, well, it's right around the same age.

00:08:21.920 She's trying to calculate with birthdays, but you get the point here.

00:08:24.560 So you're equidistant from September 11th.

00:08:27.880 And—

00:08:28.420 And Joe Biden, I'm just about just a couple of—

00:08:30.400 And Joe Biden.

00:08:30.520 Yeah, thank you.

00:08:31.840 Wow.

00:08:32.300 You're halfway there.

00:08:33.380 Wow.

00:08:33.800 And what a great run it's been.

00:08:35.060 Yeah.

00:08:35.380 You know, I will say—

00:08:36.640 Wait a minute.

00:08:37.500 I will say this.

00:08:38.560 This is not—

00:08:40.020 This is not as bad as the thing I unfortunately discovered quite recently called the Brimley

00:08:48.780 Cocoon Line.

00:08:50.320 Are you familiar with this?

00:08:51.740 No, but I don't like it already.

00:08:53.540 Oh, it's terrible.

00:08:54.040 Oh, it's terrible.

00:08:54.680 So basically, it's a Twitter account, and all it does is tweet people who cross the Brimley

00:09:01.240 Cocoon Line.

00:09:02.140 What is the Brimley Cocoon Line?

00:09:03.860 It's the exact age to the day that Wilford Brimley was when Cocoon came out in theaters.

00:09:11.500 And he was crossing over to the other side.

00:09:13.660 Right.

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.

00:09:26.500 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:09:27.880 Maybe they played it up.

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.

00:09:35.640 56?

00:09:36.700 56.

00:09:37.360 You're 56.

00:09:37.920 Yeah.

00:09:38.120 So I thought to myself, I would like to see how close Glenn is to the Brimley Cocoon Line

00:09:43.420 so I can torture him when he crosses it.

00:09:45.900 Yeah.

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

00:09:51.660 deep.

00:09:52.340 Like he'll be in, I'll basically hospice at that point, so I should be fine.

00:09:55.900 Yeah.

00:09:56.840 So I went and checked on it.

00:10:00.380 Wilford Brimley, when Cocoon came out in theaters, was 18,530 days old.

00:10:06.540 That comes out to, not 57, 50.7.

00:10:14.240 You passed the Wilford Brimley Cocoon Line about six years ago.

00:10:21.180 In fact, I went back.

00:10:22.280 I'm like, I wonder if they noted when Glenn crossed the line.

00:10:24.340 So I tried to scroll back.

00:10:25.420 It was only created in 2018. 0.99

00:10:27.640 Shut up. 0.99

00:10:27.780 So you can't even go back to the time that you crossed the Wilford Brimley Cocoon Line. 1.00

00:10:32.440 Shut up. 0.99

00:10:33.100 And these are terrifying. 0.99

00:10:34.760 Just remember that I was about 40 something when I got my first real network show.

00:10:40.440 Yeah.

00:10:40.700 Okay.

00:10:41.260 Uh-huh.

00:10:41.800 You're 44.

00:10:42.900 Right.

00:10:43.180 And I'm on your network.

00:10:44.340 So I mean, I didn't get that yet either.

00:10:45.760 Right.

00:10:48.540 And you, I had producers that liked me.

00:10:52.340 That's true.

00:10:52.960 Yeah.

00:10:53.200 And I do not.

00:10:54.520 Apparently.

00:10:55.000 Apparently not.

00:10:55.700 Let me give you a couple of these.

00:10:56.700 It's getting worse and worse.

00:10:57.700 This is the Brimley Cocoon Line.

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.

00:11:09.400 Tracy Gold from Growing Pains.

00:11:11.800 She was the teenage daughter in Growing Pains.

00:11:14.220 She just crossed the line.

00:11:16.120 Tucker Carlson just crossed the line.

00:11:20.180 Tucker Carlson is older than Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon.

00:11:25.140 He does not look it.

00:11:26.520 It doesn't.

00:11:26.880 It doesn't.

00:11:27.740 I think my hair does not help.

00:11:29.880 No, it probably doesn't.

00:11:32.440 But I can't, you can't, I can't color it.

00:11:35.200 I can't.

00:11:35.860 I wouldn't want to in the first place.

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?

00:11:45.700 Right?

00:11:46.400 Yeah.

00:11:46.700 Oh, there's so many answers to that.

00:11:48.080 How come it works for so many people?

00:11:49.480 I can't even.

00:11:50.860 I mean, we don't have that long of a show.

00:11:53.620 I mean, it's not.

00:11:54.400 You are in deep trouble tonight.

00:11:57.080 Watch the.

00:11:58.720 Um.

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,

00:12:17.840 what is he, what is he ranking now?

00:12:19.560 Fourth?

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.

00:12:57.940 He's not raising any money.

00:12:59.420 There's no momentum.

00:12:59.980 He wasn't raising money when he was the leader.

00:13:01.360 Right.

00:13:01.620 There's no joementum.

00:13:03.060 There's not.

00:13:03.800 Well, wow.

00:13:05.280 What?

00:13:06.280 There needs to be joementum.

00:13:07.560 I like the term too much.

00:13:08.640 Yeah.

00:13:08.860 Yes, you're right.

00:13:09.560 There's not, there's no, there's no joementum.

00:13:12.520 The recent, the most recent poll, which is from, yeah, before really any of this stuff

00:13:17.980 Yeah, this is all changing.

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.

00:13:27.440 They're giving it to Pete Buttigieg.

00:13:30.580 Although he won, you know, it should be noted.

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

00:13:47.440 a weird way.

00:13:48.260 Although their process was much more screwed up than the Electoral College ever was.

00:13:51.720 Yeah.

00:13:51.800 Can I ask you a question?

00:13:52.700 Yes.

00:13:54.500 Pete Buttigieg.

00:13:55.860 I mean, that's a pretty weird name.

00:13:57.220 It's almost foreign sounding.

00:13:59.300 I think even more foreign sounding than even like Barack Obama, because we were, you know,

00:14:05.020 Barack Hussein, Hussein Obama.

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. 0.77

00:14:24.620 You kind of know where, you know, where that, where that name's coming from.

00:14:28.380 Buttigieg? 0.60

00:14:29.000 No idea.

00:14:30.100 That's right.

00:14:30.600 I have, I don't even have a guess.

00:14:32.120 Where is it?

00:14:32.500 Where is it from?

00:14:33.060 I don't know, but someplace foreign.

00:14:35.060 And let's see if we get the shadow app.

00:14:37.660 We'll, uh, shadow inks app.

00:14:39.620 Polish, Poles, Czechoslovakian, Buttigieg.

00:14:42.160 Yeah.

00:14:42.400 That's kind of sounds like that.

00:14:42.940 I have no idea.

00:14:43.540 Nor do I care.

00:14:44.280 And nor did I care for Barack Obama either.

00:14:46.700 No, you're supposed to.

00:14:47.760 I know.

00:14:48.180 I'm supposed to have a conservative.

00:14:49.020 We fear a foreign sounding name.

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. 0.83

00:15:21.380 What the hell?

00:15:22.500 What do you think that's all about? 0.97

00:15:24.100 It's just, what it is, is it's true.

00:15:26.540 I don't know why they're telling it to us.

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.

00:15:42.320 It's so far to the left of that.

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.

00:16:10.720 What a surprise.

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.

00:16:30.600 Incredible.

00:16:31.320 So yeah, he's totally a centrist.

00:16:33.900 Just come out and blurt it out.

00:16:35.320 Yeah.

00:16:35.640 I mean, that is Marx.

00:16:37.760 Yeah.

00:16:37.880 Do you remember when?

00:16:39.520 Yes.

00:16:40.000 Do you remember when they would get mad at us for calling them socialists?

00:16:43.320 Yes.

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.

00:17:03.340 It's obviously not true.

00:17:04.080 It's just a smear.

00:17:04.780 And you know what?

00:17:05.180 There's hints of racism behind it all over the place.

00:17:07.760 Now they're like, Oh yeah, the socialist.

00:17:09.560 Yeah.

00:17:09.660 He's our front runner.

00:17:12.160 It's crazy.

00:17:13.160 Just blurt.

00:17:13.640 I mean, it's amazing.

00:17:14.660 By the way, Buttigieg, Maltese.

00:17:16.800 Maltese.

00:17:17.160 That's what I was thinking.

00:17:18.300 And I was like, Maltese, where is that?

00:17:20.020 And I, so I Googled Maltese.

00:17:20.980 All it is, is the pictures of the pretty dogs, the adorable dogs.

00:17:25.140 He's a, he's a little adorable puppy dog.

00:17:27.500 He is half dog, half person.

00:17:29.900 I think so.

00:17:30.780 That is weird.

00:17:31.680 I'm uncomfortable with that.

00:17:33.620 I'm very uncomfortable.

00:17:34.960 How much of the Falcon is he? 0.90

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. 0.99

00:17:43.320 But how many are uncomfortable having a half man, half dog president? 0.98

00:17:46.240 Right.

00:17:46.500 It's gotta be higher than that.

00:17:47.460 It's gotta be.

00:17:48.300 It's gotta be in the 80s.

00:17:49.940 It's gotta be.

00:17:50.300 It's gotta be low 80s.

00:17:50.860 You would think in the old days it would have been in 100, you know, 100%.

00:17:54.740 Maybe 99 with 1% like undecided.

00:17:58.600 But now half dog people can just run for president higgledy-piggledy and nobody cares. 1.00

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.

00:18:34.200 The host of White House Brief is John Miller.

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.

00:18:53.120 Hi, Glenn.

00:18:53.960 Hi.

00:18:55.120 How long have we known each other?

00:18:57.720 Uh, about 10 years, right?

00:18:59.740 Right.

00:18:59.960 What is your grade, what was your grade point average at Columbia University?

00:19:04.920 It was, it was, it wasn't a four.

00:19:06.520 It was, it was, it was close to, it was a three, seven around.

00:19:09.380 Right, right.

00:19:09.740 So you're not a dummy. 0.57

00:19:11.940 No.

00:19:12.660 Uh.

00:19:13.340 What part of Twitter is too complicated for you?

00:19:18.300 It's not the, it's not, it's okay.

00:19:20.280 If you're looking for insightful comments and, you know, uh, and well thought out commentary,

00:19:25.800 Twitter is not the place for you.

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.

00:19:37.880 No, I don't think this one is not eloquent.

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 0.95

00:19:47.940 second, but this is one of the dumbest tweets I've ever seen. 0.66

00:19:51.020 Cause it's like you read it and you're like, Oh, what read the, read the non eloquent tweet 0.97

00:19:57.100 here.

00:19:57.920 Yeah.

00:19:58.280 Okay.

00:19:58.880 Do you, do you have it?

00:19:59.860 I'm going to pull it up here.

00:20:00.880 John, you probably have it memorized by now.

00:20:03.100 I don't that it's, uh, but I do have it in my, uh, notification.

00:20:07.760 All right.

00:20:08.100 Yeah.

00:20:08.340 Okay.

00:20:08.800 Here we go.

00:20:09.300 Here we go.

00:20:09.560 A man named Bong John Joon-ho was a wins the Oscar for best original screenplay over once

00:20:14.280 upon a time in Hollywood in 1917.

00:20:16.300 Acceptance speech was great honor.

00:20:17.740 Thank you.

00:20:18.160 Then he proceeds to give the rest of his speech in Korean. 0.89

00:20:20.460 These people are the destruction of America.

00:20:22.760 Now if you read, if you're reading by the tweet up until that last line, which

00:20:27.100 was, was badly written.

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

00:20:38.280 Koreans, uh, will be the downfall of America. 1.00

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

00:20:48.660 the past.

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,

00:21:05.420 the Oscar's so woke problem.

00:21:07.520 And, uh, and I saw this foreign film, which frankly I thought was okay, not great.

00:21:12.280 Oh, John, your taste is all in your mouth.

00:21:14.440 That was brilliant.

00:21:15.800 As just another manifestation.

00:21:17.740 I saw that as another manifestation of that.

00:21:19.660 I mean, I mean, I was complaining about how there was not a single speech that had been

00:21:24.000 given.

00:21:24.380 That was political.

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 1.00

00:21:31.440 queer woman there, Chris Rock and, um, and what's the, uh, Steve Martin, the white Steve 0.88

00:21:35.980 Martin talks about the white, look you racist, white hair, white hair, by the way, John is 0.95

00:21:43.380 a black man. 0.96

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. 0.94

00:21:52.860 Cause I'm the most racist man on Twitter now.

00:21:54.580 Yeah.

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

00:22:05.220 the Trump situation.

00:22:06.400 And then you just, and then you had Obama Netflix documentary producer, that person quoting

00:22:10.640 the communist manifesto in the speech.

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

00:22:20.160 film, um, which I thought was undeserving.

00:22:22.940 You know, I saw Parasite.

00:22:24.300 I did fall asleep.

00:22:25.940 Oh, John, John, John.

00:22:28.140 And I was not impressed with it as I, as much as I was some of the other films.

00:22:32.400 So that was my thought process.

00:22:34.440 And then I, uh, you know, I'm live tweeting the event and, uh, and then you just, your,

00:22:38.840 your hatred for Koreans just jumps out.

00:22:41.760 That's when that crept in.

00:22:42.380 That's when that crept in.

00:22:43.120 Yeah.

00:22:43.420 You're just like, we should have won the Korean war. 0.99

00:22:45.740 If you watch my, uh, yeah.

00:22:47.080 If you watch my show, that's, that's one of the bigger themes.

00:22:49.440 Your anti-Korean stance is pretty well known.

00:22:53.700 I mean, when you, John, when you look at the, the context of your tweets, it describes

00:22:56.980 exactly what you're saying, right?

00:22:58.100 Like there's, I don't think anybody could read the tweets around, uh, this tweet and

00:23:02.620 possibly believe it was, it was about Koreans.

00:23:06.400 Right.

00:23:06.440 That is the problem with Twitter.

00:23:08.520 I think John Legend and his wife, uh, Chrissy Teigen.

00:23:11.360 Yes.

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?

00:23:30.880 They are.

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. 0.82

00:23:41.380 Yes.

00:23:41.820 Excuse me.

00:23:42.420 Yeah.

00:23:42.560 You, you can't be the underdog and be racist.

00:23:44.580 You have to be powerful.

00:23:45.560 You have to be the one who is oppressing and has been oppressing for hundreds and hundreds

00:23:48.760 of years.

00:23:49.500 All of a sudden that switches though, when Hollywood gets involved.

00:23:52.120 Yeah.

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

00:24:14.540 thing to do.

00:24:15.220 And I think this is the biggest problem with Twitter more than catching someone saying

00:24:20.060 something bad.

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

00:24:58.460 that is what you meant.

00:24:59.420 That's enough on Twitter.

00:25:00.880 Correct.

00:25:01.380 Correct.

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 0.56

00:25:19.900 they are and how much of a racist I am and how terrible of a person I am. 0.72

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. 1.00

00:25:31.700 She wrote, what a dumb effing tool you are. 1.00

00:25:34.700 Your family is embarrassed because she apparently knows my family. 1.00

00:25:37.720 She says at gatherings, they are literally like, how's John doing that dumb little F word 0.99

00:25:42.660 tool. 0.97

00:25:43.060 And everybody goes, yeah, we don't care. 1.00

00:25:45.780 He's an effing dumb, uh, S word. 0.99

00:25:48.620 And then she said, come say hi if you're out tonight, because apparently, um, you know, 0.99

00:25:53.080 these people in Hollywood think that everybody, uh, lives in LA and goes out with them at

00:25:57.040 night.

00:25:57.240 So she was hoping to see me.

00:25:58.800 I didn't get a chance to see her.

00:26:00.160 Oh, that would have been nice.

00:26:01.600 I would have actually liked to see that conversation.

00:26:03.460 Yeah.

00:26:03.500 That would have been really sweet.

00:26:04.880 Blurting out two syllable words at max.

00:26:07.140 Uh, I, I, I do, cause that's a great point. 1.00

00:26:09.440 I mean, here she is just braiding you as not only racist, but stupid again, like you, you 1.00

00:26:14.960 know, you, and the powerful white woman. 1.00

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

00:26:23.480 black.

00:26:23.920 And so she, uh, you know, so she has the power dynamic over me still.

00:26:27.380 Is that true?

00:26:28.000 I don't, I don't know what the, uh, the, the intersectional Olympics say about such a matter.

00:26:31.360 We need to make, she's, she's any part white. 1.00

00:26:34.360 Okay.

00:26:35.000 Okay.

00:26:35.360 There we go.

00:26:35.860 And her husband too.

00:26:36.840 Legend was doing it as well.

00:26:37.960 Right.

00:26:38.140 Her boyfriend, whatever he is.

00:26:39.420 Yeah.

00:26:39.840 Yeah.

00:26:40.460 I like you were trending.

00:26:42.220 You're still, you're still trending nationally.

00:26:43.940 Congratulations.

00:26:45.460 Thank you.

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.

00:27:05.340 I love Korean food.

00:27:07.160 You were always there going, I will not go in there with you.

00:27:12.840 Those people are destroying.

00:27:15.200 It's deep seated.

00:27:16.180 Yeah.

00:27:16.600 Yeah.

00:27:16.900 No, it is deep seated hatred, deep seated hatred.

00:27:20.000 Thank you for bringing that up.

00:27:21.280 So what have you learned about this, John?

00:27:23.480 Will you be live tweeting future award shows?

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.

00:27:32.460 Everybody does it.

00:27:33.300 First of all, but you're trying to say something interesting while trying not to miss the next

00:27:37.320 crazy thing that is said.

00:27:38.500 So you're kind of just like, ah, that looks good enough to me.

00:27:41.440 Hit send.

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

00:27:55.600 send.

00:27:56.000 So I have to figure out how to, uh, not hit send. 0.99

00:27:59.680 I could cut your thumbs off.

00:28:01.500 Maybe read how to maybe read the tweet over and, and just, you know, finesse it a bit. 0.73

00:28:05.920 You know, they say everybody needs an editor.

00:28:07.620 You know, what's amazing is you get this rap for being this flamethrower and, you know,

00:28:14.820 now racist against all Koreans.

00:28:18.140 Uh, and you are, you've always been one of the most soft spoken, non-confrontational kind

00:28:24.540 of guys.

00:28:25.040 And all of a sudden you're, you're like, yeah, Chrissy, bring it on.

00:28:31.000 I don't know if I'd confront her in person.

00:28:32.940 That's the thing.

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.

00:28:47.160 Uh, and that's probably to be quite frank.

00:28:49.280 The, uh, problem with Twitter is that it just lets everybody, you know, I doubt Chrissy

00:28:53.720 Teigen would say any of that to my face.

00:28:55.820 Um, so it just lets every, it just lets everybody say whatever they want.

00:29:01.000 Um, you know, as aggressively as they want it.

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

00:29:29.840 something super, super, uh, crazy about that. 0.91

00:29:33.000 And the white conservative was, was critical of this crazy liberal opinion and use language 0.86

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.

00:29:48.780 Oh, absolutely.

00:29:51.120 And is there any doubt in anyone's mind that that's what that would be true?

00:29:54.840 No, none.

00:29:55.560 No, we have to play by different rules.

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

00:30:07.060 just a reality.

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

00:30:15.280 and being understood.

00:30:16.280 We're not able to, you know, have people come to our defense and say, well, no, you've

00:30:20.100 got to look at the context.

00:30:21.000 You've got to look at everything.

00:30:22.540 Um, and in a certain way, we've kind of just said, well, these are the rules we have to

00:30:26.000 play by.

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

00:30:49.020 and to not disparage 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

00:31:03.400 crazy. 0.99

00:31:04.000 So to a certain extent, I believe on that front we've lost because they don't give a crap. 1.00

00:31:08.040 They'll say whatever kind of crazy crap they want and they'll get away with it. 0.99

00:31:11.940 We've acknowledged we're not going to get away with it. 0.97

00:31:14.240 And so we have to, we have to be a little more careful.

00:31:18.040 Well, I've learned a couple of things.

00:31:19.720 Um, I didn't go to college and even I'm better at Twitter than you are.

00:31:24.080 Oh, you've never had a Twitter.

00:31:25.560 Glenn's never had a Twitter controversy, John.

00:31:27.440 Don't worry about it.

00:31:28.480 John, never.

00:31:28.940 Now I've, now I'm going through Glenn, your old tweet.

00:31:31.900 No, that's never.

00:31:33.440 I know there is something.

00:31:34.620 No, there's never been a problem with me.

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

00:31:50.500 it's, you know, she can get them out.

00:31:52.120 Yeah.

00:31:52.340 Thanks.

00:31:52.700 Thanks so much.

00:31:53.240 Appreciate it.

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,

00:32:00.780 another previous thing with you.

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

00:32:10.480 anyone else?

00:32:10.880 Oh yeah, that's right.

00:32:11.300 That's right.

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

00:32:16.520 play thing.

00:32:17.300 It was all about sex appeal.

00:32:18.420 And it was all, it was like, no, Chrissy, no, no.

00:32:22.720 Yeah.

00:32:22.980 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:32:59.680 Thanks.

00:33:00.100 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.

00:33:07.600 And here is what he said.

00:33:09.920 I have what I used to call when I was a U S attorney, a smoking gun.

00:33:13.660 This is a money laundering transaction.

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.

00:33:32.440 And then it lays out, I'll simplify it.

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.

00:34:09.540 Now we released this last week.

00:34:11.200 This went to Senator Grassley's office.

00:34:13.680 Uh, what was it on Friday morning?

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

00:34:28.120 of proceeds derived from criminal activity.

00:34:30.640 Uh, this was sent to the Ukrainian FIU.

00:34:35.380 That's the financial, um, intelligence unit.

00:34:39.140 Uh, the subject is Burisma holding limited. 0.80

00:34:42.940 And let me just read it to you.

00:34:45.880 Um, it says, dear colleagues, the office for prevention of laundering of proceeds,

00:34:51.120 derived from criminal activity.

00:34:53.920 Further in text, Lafayette, uh, the Latvian FIU is currently investigating suspicious activity

00:34:59.940 of Burisma holding limited.

00:35:02.540 According to publicly available information, Burisma holding limited and its director, Hunter

00:35:07.800 Biden are involved in a corruption affair.

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

00:35:46.060 for a loan agreement.

00:35:47.680 Now, if you watch the show on Thursday night, you, you realize that loans are the way this

00:35:54.640 happens.

00:35:55.720 You loan somebody, you know, a bunch, a bunch of money.

00:36:00.260 They make payments on that loan.

00:36:03.400 It's all in dirty money.

00:36:05.280 Then they default on the rest of the loan.

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

00:36:23.940 hard time doing business with you.

00:36:25.880 So loans are the way money laundering happens.

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

00:37:09.880 of funds.

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?

00:37:22.720 If so, for what reason?

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

00:37:39.160 origin?

00:37:40.080 No, they had an origin of us.

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.

00:37:57.860 That's the whole memo.

00:37:59.380 That's what it says.

00:38:00.600 Uh, post this at glennbeck.com.

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

00:38:14.100 got it in December.

00:38:15.020 Can I just put the timeline in context?

00:38:17.460 Yes.

00:38:17.680 So that is, what's it say?

00:38:19.240 It's February 20th.

00:38:20.840 This comes out February 18th, 2016.

00:38:24.520 Okay.

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

00:38:40.500 investigation because it was dormant.

00:38:41.760 You know, we've heard that all over the place.

00:38:43.120 It was dormant.

00:38:43.820 Right.

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

00:38:57.980 of Burisma, started seizing it.

00:39:00.420 And he said in an interview that his very next move was to interview very specifically Devin

00:39:05.740 Archer and Biden Jr.

00:39:07.700 Okay.

00:39:08.300 So this memo comes out before he files that court move after, after that's the Latvian

00:39:16.640 government saying, Oh, there's this case.

00:39:19.040 Look what we found is, would this be interesting to you?

00:39:22.240 Right.

00:39:22.620 And then Biden comes just a couple of weeks later, does he not?

00:39:26.500 Yes.

00:39:26.720 And gets him fired and gets him fired.

00:39:28.660 So the media is shown by this document as being total and complete liars that there was nothing

00:39:37.300 going on.

00:39:38.480 Everyone had looked into it.

00:39:40.120 There was nothing.

00:39:40.860 This was a bad prosecutor.

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.

00:40:12.740 Right.

00:40:13.540 Now tell me that there was nothing going on.

00:40:16.720 Tell me that this was a dormant investigation.

00:40:18.960 It clearly wasn't.

00:40:21.100 This is a case that, which you pointed out on the special, that they had been on since

00:40:25.900 2014 money laundering from Burisma.

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

00:40:44.920 earned tax money, gone, just disappeared.

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

00:40:57.540 in Belize or Cyprus or whatever.

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?

00:41:14.020 It has nothing to do with politics.

00:41:15.420 We now have the endpoint for some of this laundered money that might be our $1.8 missing billion.

00:41:20.960 And it goes directly to Hunter Biden.

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.

00:42:11.080 He didn't want anything to do with Russia.

00:42:14.500 He wasn't for wars.

00:42:16.860 That's not his style.

00:42:19.100 A million miles away.

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.

00:43:11.920 We had to win the war.

00:43:13.720 Ukrainians had to win this war.

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.

00:43:29.860 All of us were working on that.

00:43:31.420 The ambassador.

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.

00:43:42.860 And they did.

00:43:43.680 Why?

00:43:43.880 Why would they have to get rid of that prosecutor? 0.99

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.

00:44:11.060 It doesn't make any sense.

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.

00:44:18.860 Not even a year.

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.

00:44:26.440 10 months.

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.

00:44:37.860 And so they got him fired from the get go.

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. 1.00

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? 0.78

00:44:56.360 Yeah, we've had two of good guys that became prosecutor generals.
