00:00:00.280 Hello, podcasters. Welcome to another great podcast today.
00:00:05.060 Today, I'm excited for you to hear this podcast.
00:00:07.360 Yeah, and also you're excited about going to Utah this weekend
00:00:10.780 because you're going to be at a couple of showings of the movie Unplanned,
00:00:15.040 which is coming out on Friday.
00:00:17.220 You can go to glenbeck.com and get the details of where you're going to be
00:00:19.840 because you're going to be appearing and talking about the movie.
00:00:22.640 So this is a movie about life and how important it is, and it's an important movie.
00:00:27.320 This is probably the most important movie on abortion ever.
00:00:30.220 It will change your family, and that's why MPAA gave it a rating of R,
00:00:34.480 and that's why I'm going to Salt Lake because that population generally doesn't see rated R movies,
00:00:39.100 and it is critical that you take your teenagers to this.
00:00:42.460 They will never look at abortion the same ever again.
00:00:46.040 It's a really good movie. You will enjoy it.
00:00:48.220 It's full of heart, has a happy ending.
00:00:50.320 You're not going to walk out depressed, but you will walk out convicted.
00:00:53.500 And please go to glenbeck.com and look where I'm going to be on Friday.
00:00:57.840 If that theater is sold out, then they'll just add another one,
00:01:02.420 and I'm going to meet as many people as I can and talk to you as the audience.
00:01:06.160 So please, that's this Friday. I'm going to Salt Lake City. Join me there.
00:01:10.400 All right. Today's show is great.
00:01:13.640 First, we had to talk down to the media just a little bit
00:01:16.720 to tell them the difference between opinion and fact.
00:01:21.480 And we spoke very slowly for the slow learners, you know, that are in the front of the class.
00:01:28.280 Maybe they have eye problems or something, but they can't keep up with the rest of the class,
00:01:32.680 like Brian Stelter from CNN.
00:01:35.180 So we have that.
00:01:36.080 Also, we talked to the Blaze White House reporter, the guy who was in the press pool there.
00:01:43.020 He had just left the White House.
00:01:46.420 Ben Sasse on Nebraska floods, which led Stu Wright, of course, to the latest on global warming.
00:01:52.800 Devastating.
00:01:53.820 Russian soldiers are in Venezuela.
00:01:56.120 And Peter Schweitzer, an amazing story of corruption on Joe Biden
00:02:01.420 that you have to hear all on today's podcast.
00:02:06.080 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:20.920 Let me tell you about our spotlight.
00:02:22.940 Last year, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office released the grand jury report
00:02:26.960 noting that law enforcement had received 2,000 complaints of deed fraud.
00:02:32.240 And almost every case involved a faulty notarization.
00:02:36.940 You get a fake notary, which you can buy online for like 20 bucks.
00:02:41.960 And you go down to the courthouse.
00:02:43.700 You forge signature on a title transfer, which you can get just at the courthouse.
00:02:48.620 And you fake the notary.
00:02:51.200 You own somebody's house.
00:02:52.880 And you can do anything with it.
00:02:54.080 2,000 in Manhattan.
00:02:55.680 This is really a problem.
00:02:58.480 And don't let it happen to you or your parents, please.
00:03:01.500 Go to HomeTitleLock.com and make sure that your title still is your title and remains that way.
00:03:09.220 Get your $100 search for free when you sign up and then let the professionals,
00:03:13.280 the only ones in the business that can do this, Home Title Lock. 0.63
00:03:17.580 Let them take care of it and take care of your family.
00:03:20.800 HomeTitleLock.com.
00:03:22.760 That's HomeTitleLock.com.
00:03:25.400 Let's remind ourselves where this all really began.
00:03:29.760 This whole collusion thing began where?
00:03:34.200 With Hillary Clinton losing the election.
00:03:38.660 All right?
00:03:39.340 She was the biggest pile of dog crap candidate we've ever seen in America. 1.00
00:03:45.820 There's never been a worse candidate.
00:03:48.460 And I'm pretty good with history.
00:03:51.840 I can't think of a worse candidate from one of the two parties.
00:03:55.640 Can you?
00:03:56.340 Have we ever run a Klan member?
00:03:57.580 Well, Woodrow Wilson.
00:03:58.900 Woodrow Wilson.
00:03:59.660 He wasn't a Klan member officially, but he was pretty close.
00:04:03.860 Hillary Clinton was awful. 1.00
00:04:05.940 Absolutely awful.
00:04:08.280 And Donald Trump beat her.
00:04:12.140 Now, that's something that nobody wants.
00:04:14.060 I mean, if you put yourself in Hillary Clinton's shoes and you're just awful, not because of corruption and crimes and everything else that you've done, but because you're just not qualified to be the president.
00:04:24.840 Okay?
00:04:25.160 And you're beaten by Donald Trump.
00:04:27.180 That's not something that you take and go, okay, well, I didn't have any experience and he didn't have any experience.
00:04:34.500 And his tie is too long.
00:04:36.980 And, I mean, how did I lose that guy?
00:04:39.200 You have to justify it somehow, I guess.
00:04:42.300 And so that's what Hillary Clinton had to do. 1.00
00:04:44.800 She had to come up with something.
00:04:46.720 And here is where it all started.
00:04:49.360 Hillary Clinton, cut one, please.
00:04:51.160 The Russians, in my opinion, and based on the intel and counterintel people I've talked to, could not have known how best to weaponize that information unless they had been guided.
00:05:03.880 Guided by Americans. 0.54
00:05:05.440 Guided by Americans and guided by people who had, you know, polling and data information.
00:05:10.600 But you're leaning Trump.
00:05:12.780 Yes.
00:05:13.440 Okay.
00:05:13.860 Yes.
00:05:14.600 Okay.
00:05:15.040 All right.
00:05:15.680 So, hang on.
00:05:16.500 Just a second.
00:05:17.120 So, her case was that Donald Trump, they wouldn't have known who to hack, what to hack, how to use this without Donald Trump.
00:05:28.000 Now, I know Donald Trump knows how to use Twitter.
00:05:31.340 But I'm guessing that's as far as it goes.
00:05:34.480 I can't imagine Donald Trump even trying to use Snapchat.
00:05:38.700 I don't, I think he, I don't know how to, I don't think he knows how to use that.
00:05:43.200 Okay.
00:05:44.140 Instagram may throw him for a loop.
00:05:47.120 Uh, but to think that Donald Trump was the guy that had access to all this polling and data and knew exactly, he was guiding, this is not collusion, she's saying he guided the Russians on how to do this.
00:06:06.260 All right, here's what you do.
00:06:07.920 Don't forget the colon.
00:06:09.240 The colon is very important.
00:06:11.780 Teaching them what?
00:06:12.880 How to write the code?
00:06:14.380 How to be able to hack in?
00:06:16.700 How to be able to read polls?
00:06:19.020 How to, um, uh, use what you've just done?
00:06:23.380 This is a whole different level.
00:06:25.860 Right.
00:06:26.000 If you're going to commit a crime by trying to guide the Russians to hack the Democratic National Committee, why not just hack the Democratic National Committee? 0.83
00:06:34.320 Wait, you're already there.
00:06:35.200 Right.
00:06:36.220 You're, you're, you're guiding them?
00:06:39.000 Yeah.
00:06:39.480 This is incredible.
00:06:41.400 Okay.
00:06:42.000 So that's where we started.
00:06:43.780 And immediately, immediately everybody jumps on the bandwagon.
00:06:49.680 Why?
00:06:50.680 Because they cannot accept that Donald Trump won.
00:06:55.960 Period.
00:06:57.600 That's a fact in their head.
00:07:00.500 Donald Trump cannot be the president legitimately because I don't know anyone who voted for him.
00:07:08.700 For every Republican.
00:07:10.440 I mean, George Bush couldn't have eaten Al Gore.
00:07:12.700 John Kerry even had a conspiracy theory about how that was illegitimate.
00:07:17.100 I can't remember the last time a Republican was supposedly legitimately elected.
00:07:21.380 So I'm going to slow the show down here a little bit.
00:07:24.560 Okay.
00:07:24.940 Because right now, right now, members of the media must be going, I don't know.
00:07:29.260 He said it was the Glenn Beck program.
00:07:32.620 Am I listening to a program?
00:07:34.740 Is he on stage?
00:07:36.160 They're, they're lost.
00:07:37.000 So I'm going to slow it down just a little bit and try to explain the difference between opinion and news.
00:07:49.060 News is not about opinion.
00:07:51.380 News is not about moving the American people one way or another.
00:07:56.960 News is what happened today.
00:08:01.960 Now, it can also be about what is happening.
00:08:07.620 But news is never about what may happen.
00:08:12.520 That's not news.
00:08:13.840 That's speculation.
00:08:14.940 Now, there's a difference between speculation and opinion.
00:08:22.840 Opinion is based on facts.
00:08:25.740 Speculation can be anything.
00:08:30.920 Speculation could be, you know what?
00:08:32.720 You know what?
00:08:33.320 You know, you know who's on that grassy knoll?
00:08:37.500 Yeah, it was Rafael Cruz.
00:08:39.020 We know that.
00:08:39.520 But Donald Trump was the one that got Rafael Cruz drunk.
00:08:43.500 That's why he never hit the president.
00:08:46.180 He never hit him.
00:08:47.240 We got to go down there.
00:08:48.520 And I'll bet you right now.
00:08:49.940 I speculate right now that there's a bullet that we can carve out of one of those trees in the grassy knoll.
00:08:57.900 That's wild speculation.
00:09:00.200 Opinion is formed with its basis in fact.
00:09:07.920 It's a theory.
00:09:11.120 And theories are unproven.
00:09:14.480 Facts are not.
00:09:17.600 Facts are facts.
00:09:19.900 Remember, everybody was saying at the beginning of the Trump, he just doesn't understand facts.
00:09:25.240 Oh, he's got a different set of facts.
00:09:26.940 You want a different set of facts?
00:09:28.800 Media, heal thy own self first.
00:09:34.460 Because you've been operating for two years on a completely different set of facts.
00:09:39.880 We just heard those facts from Hillary Clinton.
00:09:43.740 And you gobbled it up.
00:09:45.960 Because your opinion drives facts.
00:09:52.000 Opinion is supposed to be driven by facts.
00:09:55.660 Facts first, then opinion.
00:09:57.240 Opinion, you have an opinion.
00:09:59.260 Opinion, he can't be the president.
00:10:00.960 And so then you go out and you look for little pieces of facts that will, yes, if I put it that way and I put this word over here and that word over here and then this sentence from that person underneath.
00:10:14.020 Ha, ha, ha.
00:10:14.800 Ha, ha, ha.
00:10:15.460 I've got it.
00:10:17.200 He's actually Dr. Frankenstein.
00:10:21.820 He's an evil scientist.
00:10:24.060 And he has taken over the world.
00:10:26.300 Bring out the monster. 0.97
00:10:27.700 That's not the way it works.
00:10:31.760 Now, when you're in opinion media, and I know this because I have always said, in fact, I remember when I was at CNN arguing with the publisher of the San Francisco Chronicle who called me a journalist.
00:10:49.020 And I had him on the show and I said, I'm not a journalist.
00:10:52.960 I am an opinion guy.
00:10:54.940 He said, well, there's no difference.
00:10:56.640 You are a journalist.
00:10:57.920 No, I'm not.
00:11:01.480 Here's the difference.
00:11:03.120 I have opinions on what has happened.
00:11:06.100 I also then have opinions based on fact on what could happen.
00:11:14.380 Now, that's really going out.
00:11:17.100 That's really going out.
00:11:19.060 But my opinions are not based on what I want.
00:11:22.260 In fact, many times the opinions are things I do not want to happen.
00:11:28.100 Things that I warn people about.
00:11:30.480 And I always say, I hope I'm wrong about this.
00:11:36.880 And here's the thing.
00:11:38.060 When you're doing opinion, you have to be willing to be wrong.
00:11:43.260 It requires you to understand that your opinion is not a fact.
00:11:49.260 No matter how hard you work, your opinion will never be a fact.
00:11:54.660 No matter how many times it's been laundered through this news service or that news service, it still remains your opinion.
00:12:02.740 And you must always remain willing to be wrong.
00:12:07.400 In fact, you should be hopeful that you're wrong.
00:12:11.460 I cannot believe that I live in an America that just had the FBI say, your president is not a foreign agent.
00:12:22.160 And half the country went, oh, crap.
00:12:27.320 No, he's got to be a foreign agent.
00:12:29.700 You want him to be a foreign agent?
00:12:33.760 Think, put this into perspective, please.
00:12:36.760 Tell me one thing that could have been worse than a president being a foreign agent for Vladimir Putin.
00:12:44.720 Can you think of anything?
00:12:49.800 Oh, crap.
00:12:52.540 Are you sure?
00:12:53.660 Go back and look again.
00:12:55.100 There's got to be.
00:12:55.980 You know what?
00:12:56.400 I don't even believe any of those facts.
00:12:59.220 Yes, they spent.
00:13:00.220 They have 40 FBI agents.
00:13:03.240 40 FBI agents.
00:13:05.000 They spent two years, millions of dollars.
00:13:07.680 But, come on.
00:13:12.540 He's got to be a spy, right?
00:13:15.400 He's got to be a foreign agent.
00:13:17.840 Come on.
00:13:19.000 We all know he wants to destroy America.
00:13:23.480 Even if it's not true, let's just say he's destroying America.
00:13:27.980 Because our opinion has now become fact.
00:13:33.540 I'm going to speak even a little slower for the people like Brian Stelter at CNN who really don't understand this.
00:13:48.620 And let me just, I don't want to single him out because I think he's a dumpy little bald guy who is an absolute moron.
00:13:59.200 I don't want to get personal like that.
00:14:01.820 I want to base it on facts.
00:14:04.920 Cut six, please.
00:14:06.300 Brian Stelter.
00:14:07.280 There is a big difference.
00:14:08.360 There is a big difference between news and opinion.
00:14:11.420 And I realize it can be hard to tune out all the noise and just tune into the news these days.
00:14:16.720 Talk down to me.
00:14:17.500 But if I had to pick speculation or solid reporting, I would pick solid reporting in a second.
00:14:21.800 I bet you would, too.
00:14:22.860 It's the best feeling in journalism.
00:14:24.700 It's the greatest value add.
00:14:26.760 That's what hundreds of journalists have been doing.
00:14:28.920 Trying to solve pieces of this Trump-Russia puzzle.
00:14:34.100 But here's the thing.
00:14:35.260 Speculation actually has value, too.
00:14:37.380 It helps open our eyes.
00:14:39.020 Helps open our minds to what's possible.
00:14:40.840 Oh.
00:14:41.540 It helps open our minds and our eyes.
00:14:44.780 Really, Brian?
00:14:45.980 Do you really think the journalists around you have an open mind to Donald Trump?
00:14:54.160 Because you're proving that all to be bullcrap right now with the responses on the news channels.
00:15:01.120 So I'll try to use—how do I even explain this?
00:15:10.360 I was going to say single-syllable words, but syllable has two syllables in it.
00:15:17.660 So I'm going to be shocked to hear it has three.
00:15:21.400 Shut up. 0.95
00:15:22.180 The best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:15:34.320 Hey, it's Glenn.
00:15:35.640 And if you like what you hear on the program, you should check out Pat Gray Unleashed.
00:15:39.820 His podcast is available wherever you download your favorite podcast.
00:15:43.120 I would definitely recommend if Michael Buble is in town, you go and see that instead of going to see the movie Us.
00:15:50.040 That I would definitely suggest because Us sucks.
00:15:55.600 Really?
00:15:56.260 Yes.
00:15:56.800 It's awful.
00:15:57.580 All I'm hearing about is it's the next Alfred Hitchcock.
00:16:02.280 He's the next Alfred Hitchcock.
00:16:03.920 It sucks.
00:16:04.920 I mean, Jordan Peele—
00:16:05.380 Wait, wait, wait.
00:16:06.220 Did you see—what was the movie before it?
00:16:08.260 Get Out?
00:16:08.840 Yeah.
00:16:09.080 Yeah, I loved Get Out.
00:16:09.900 I thought it was really good.
00:16:10.680 I didn't see that movie, but I hear great things about it.
00:16:13.400 You liked it.
00:16:14.100 You would like—yeah.
00:16:14.820 The audience—there's parts that the audience would really appreciate, too, because it was all about kind of your Obama liberals who said they're just not racist at all.
00:16:24.140 But in the end, there was a hint of it you might have detected.
00:16:27.420 So this one—yeah, this one is—and again, I liked his last movie.
00:16:31.580 I just feel like Jordan Peele is in that moment where he can do no wrong to critics, so they have to say anything he does,
00:16:40.240 anything he touches is good.
00:16:41.700 So what's the Rotten Tomatoes?
00:16:43.420 It's like 94% or something.
00:16:45.620 That's why I want to see it.
00:16:46.920 No, the critics.
00:16:48.160 Critics are 90.
00:16:49.000 Who looks at the critics?
00:16:50.420 I look at the critics because the critics will at least get you to that low hurdle of competence, usually.
00:16:57.460 Like, at least the movie's done relatively well.
00:16:59.640 The critics are the also.
00:17:01.800 You look at the movie score.
00:17:03.460 You look at the audience score.
00:17:04.840 You look at the audience score.
00:17:05.760 And then if it's low, you may look at the critics because you're like, oh, well, I don't know.
00:17:13.720 Is it a kind of an artsy thing or something like that?
00:17:16.300 Right.
00:17:16.900 Or—and so if that's high, you know, okay, there's a problem here.
00:17:21.360 Or if the audience is high and the critics are low, you immediately go, okay, wait a minute.
00:17:28.680 Is this a film that would appeal to normal human beings?
00:17:33.660 Right.
00:17:34.040 Because your blockbusters, your kind of standard horror movies always have a higher audience score than the critics score.
00:17:40.520 What's the audience score of this one, Marissa?
00:17:44.600 71?
00:17:45.580 Yeah.
00:17:45.880 So that's telling you Art House City, isn't it?
00:17:49.360 Yeah, that's telling you something.
00:17:51.360 No, it's probably telling you more about the times we live in.
00:17:56.040 Right.
00:17:56.380 Because that's almost like a statement.
00:17:57.700 There's like some racial statement in the movie or whatever.
00:18:00.360 I mean, honestly, it was—I mean, the acting was just agonizing and, oh, God, it was just not good.
00:18:06.080 It was not a good movie.
00:18:07.260 But there's some statement and Jordan Peele is—you can't say anything bad about him right now.
00:18:13.420 Well, he's black.
00:18:14.260 He's got to win every—
00:18:15.660 He's an important black director.
00:18:15.920 He's breaking down barriers.
00:18:17.440 Like, that is, I swear, how they rate these movies.
00:18:19.980 What is the intersectionality of the people involved?
00:18:22.680 Like, Black Panther—I saw a clip of Black Panther, and I know I hate—
00:18:26.260 These kind of movies, yeah.
00:18:27.880 I hate these kind of superhero movies, generally speaking.
00:18:30.920 But I saw about 15 minutes of Black Panther.
00:18:33.200 That—it was terrible.
00:18:36.000 No, it wasn't.
00:18:37.500 Absolutely terrible.
00:18:38.260 You don't have a good opinion on any Marvel things.
00:18:42.000 You just—you're out of step.
00:18:42.980 And you might be in step with a lot of people who hate those kind of movies.
00:18:45.880 No, but I like some of them.
00:18:47.920 Like, I like, you know, like, I liked Iron Man.
00:18:49.660 I like the first Guardians of the Galaxy.
00:18:52.500 Yeah.
00:18:52.780 But you generally hate superheroes.
00:18:54.680 No, no, I may have seen—I will say, I allowed the idea that I may have just seen the worst 15 minutes of the movie.
00:18:59.340 Yeah, it could be.
00:18:59.760 But it was just, like, all—it was just them, you know, the typical, you know, chase action scenes, which were just—I've seen them 100,000 times now.
00:19:08.400 Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:19:09.540 And then intertwined with really bad, cheesy, wise-ass lines.
00:19:15.300 I thought it was a fun movie.
00:19:16.960 I just go into Marvel movies just for fun.
00:19:19.280 It doesn't matter.
00:19:20.080 But the point is, it doesn't matter if Black Panther was a good movie or not.
00:19:23.240 No, I agree with you.
00:19:24.000 You must love it.
00:19:25.060 I agree.
00:19:25.380 You must.
00:19:26.140 I agree.
00:19:26.240 Whether you love it or not, you must love it.
00:19:28.020 And that's what this is with us.
00:19:29.160 By the way, if you are going to a movie this weekend, please see this movie.
00:19:34.200 See Unplanned.
00:19:35.280 It is so important.
00:19:36.620 This is the film that could change everything.
00:19:40.180 Bring your kids.
00:19:41.060 Now, it's been rated R by the MPAA, but it is not a rated R movie.
00:19:45.840 It's not.
00:19:46.380 It has no swearing.
00:19:47.040 It has nothing in it.
00:19:47.680 No sex. 0.72
00:19:48.320 No swearing.
00:19:48.860 Nothing.
00:19:49.500 This is a political reason to stop this movie from being seen.
00:19:53.820 I'm going to where nobody likes to even go see PG-13 movies.
00:19:59.160 And that's in Salt Lake City this weekend.
00:20:01.680 I'm going to be at Thanksgiving Point.
00:20:04.140 One of them at 630.
00:20:05.900 And then the other one is in Sandy, I think.
00:20:09.000 Go to Mega Play.
00:20:10.640 Just go to glenbeck.com and find out.
00:20:12.500 But I will see you there for Unplanned Friday.
00:20:15.880 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:20:21.840 Like listening to this podcast?
00:20:34.240 If you're not a subscriber, become one now on iTunes.
00:20:37.460 And while you're there, do us a favor and rate the show.
00:20:40.500 Michael Avenatti.
00:20:41.940 Now, Michael Avenatti is the kind of guy that you're...
00:20:46.140 The first time you saw Michael Avenatti, did you not go, okay, that guy's shady?
00:20:53.020 You know exactly who he was.
00:20:54.840 You knew exactly.
00:20:55.920 You would not have even bought a car from this man.
00:20:59.720 But what did the news media do?
00:21:02.020 Huge credibility they assigned to him.
00:21:04.580 Michael Avenatti, a respected attorney from Los Angeles.
00:21:08.660 He's visiting Iowa.
00:21:10.160 He might be running.
00:21:13.320 I do believe that actually happened not that long ago.
00:21:15.940 I know.
00:21:17.120 He was arrested yesterday on charges of bank fraud, embezzlement, and extortion.
00:21:23.420 Now, before I bring John Miller in, he is the host of the White House Brief and our White House correspondent for Blaze TV.
00:21:36.080 Here's the CNN spin.
00:21:39.560 Trump created the environment in which someone like Avenatti could be taken seriously.
00:21:45.600 Honestly, Avenatti's fall proves there is only one Donald Trump out there.
00:21:54.360 That's incredible.
00:21:56.700 Incredible.
00:21:57.280 That's incredible.
00:21:58.800 That is contortion.
00:22:00.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:22:02.440 Guys at CNN, you're responsible for Michael Avenatti.
00:22:07.160 You put him on as a credible guest.
00:22:10.460 Why?
00:22:11.280 Because he confirmed your bias.
00:22:14.600 He was saying the things you needed someone to say.
00:22:20.420 So you didn't care who said it.
00:22:22.420 And you brought him on every single night.
00:22:25.320 I mean, it had to be, what, three months of almost every night on cable news.
00:22:30.880 Crazy.
00:22:31.400 So we have John Miller on, and I have John on just because I can't wait.
00:22:35.960 When are you going to the White House?
00:22:37.300 When are you going to be in the pool again?
00:22:38.700 When, when, when, when, when, when?
00:22:40.040 So I'm actually just leaving.
00:22:43.040 I was there this morning, just kind of gathering sources and, and talking to people.
00:22:47.300 It's, it's depressing.
00:22:48.920 And that's really all I can say.
00:22:50.120 They don't want to admit that they're depressed.
00:22:52.420 So they're kind of playing this game where they're saying, oh, there's other stories out there.
00:22:56.100 Trump's DOJ is trying to take down Obamacare.
00:22:59.080 Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:23:02.460 There are other stories out there.
00:23:03.880 We can get them another way.
00:23:05.500 No, wait a minute.
00:23:06.860 The story is you've been wrong for two years.
00:23:11.400 You've been wrong and you've been lying to everyone for two years.
00:23:15.100 I mean, CNN, you talk about CNN.
00:23:16.560 They've been, I think they spent over 2,000 hours talking about the whole non-story that turned out to be a complete hoax.
00:23:24.220 But yesterday, Glenn, I went on your TV program and said, you know, I think they're so upset because they are, you know, they are liberal activists.
00:23:34.520 And for them, this has been completely destroying their narrative.
00:23:37.600 I stand by that.
00:23:38.980 I think there is another element, however, and having talked to some quote unquote journalist, I think that it's important to say this.
00:23:46.980 This was their story for two years.
00:23:50.000 And they honestly, they showed up to the White House every single day thinking that this was going to be their Woodward and Bernstein moment and that this was going to be the name they made for themselves.
00:24:01.020 And they were going to take down this president.
00:24:03.300 And that's how they were going to make their mark on the world.
00:24:06.180 We are the journalists who took down the Trump presidency.
00:24:09.100 I mean, the fact that that didn't happen and this is basically over is devastating for them.
00:24:13.060 And you want to hear what, you know, the liberal journalists are saying.
00:24:16.080 You just have to listen to the Democrat politicians because they sound exactly the same.
00:24:20.880 And they're in denial.
00:24:21.880 They're, you know, they don't trust William Barr's report.
00:24:24.400 They have the White House seen the report.
00:24:26.540 Is William Barr's judgment on this?
00:24:28.180 Should we accept that?
00:24:29.620 Does this have something to do with Trump's DOJ?
00:24:31.720 Eric Swalwell is out there saying there's still evidence of collusion.
00:24:35.820 So that's sort of the line they're towing.
00:24:38.400 But when they can't get that, then they're going back to, well, there's other things we can talk about.
00:24:43.860 How do we cover this up?
00:24:45.500 Unbelievable.
00:24:46.280 Hang on.
00:24:46.540 I'm looking for the cut sheet.
00:24:50.660 Here it is.
00:24:52.120 Tom Perez.
00:24:53.860 Listen to Tom Perez.
00:24:54.920 Now he's with the Democratic Party.
00:24:56.880 Listen to what he said yesterday.
00:24:59.660 We know, in addition to the fact that the Russians tried to meddle, they did meddle in our investigation.
00:25:05.600 We know that his campaign manager, his deputy campaign manager, his lawyer, Papadopoulos, Stone, all of these people were having contact.
00:25:15.640 And so the question for me that remains is, was he compromised?
00:25:21.220 Why did he say that he believes Putin over the intelligence community?
00:25:25.200 Why did he talk about leaving NATO?
00:25:27.220 Things that put our national security at jeopardy.
00:25:30.020 Why doesn't he release his tax returns?
00:25:32.900 Why were they so hell-bent on?
00:25:34.360 I love this.
00:25:35.160 I love this.
00:25:35.920 And then his tax returns.
00:25:38.920 It's like a word salad.
00:25:40.320 Tax returns.
00:25:41.320 It's taxes.
00:25:41.820 He's corrupt.
00:25:42.340 Russian puppet. 0.79
00:25:42.920 Yeah, and how about his hair?
00:25:44.940 What's the deal with his hair?
00:25:46.480 I mean, it's crazy what they're doing.
00:25:48.940 Listen to what he said.
00:25:49.980 He had all these contacts.
00:25:51.700 And we have to know, was he compromised?
00:25:55.200 No.
00:25:56.080 No, that was what the investigation was.
00:25:58.380 Well, why would he believe Putin over the intelligence agencies?
00:26:02.700 Because if John Brennan is any reflection of our intelligence agencies, it turns out that he was right not to believe them.
00:26:12.920 I mean, you got Joe Scarborough saying, oh, John Brennan, were you just like us and you were given, you know, maybe not so good information?
00:26:20.780 And John Brennan was like, well, yes, it turns out the information we were given wasn't as good as we thought it was.
00:26:26.460 You were the former director of the CIA, dude.
00:26:29.400 I mean, you cannot just get away with what I guess it was wrong.
00:26:32.920 So hang on just a second, John.
00:26:34.660 Follow this line because you're a very logical guy.
00:26:37.100 I mean, you went to Columbia University.
00:26:39.820 So you're a very logical guy.
00:26:41.740 Help me out on this problem.
00:26:44.020 Two things.
00:26:45.380 First, on the intelligence committee or community, John Brennan said that he was committed treason and that he had it on good authority, that this was going to come and he was going to go to jail because he's a traitor.
00:27:02.680 OK, then yesterday he comes out and says, I had bad information.
00:27:06.720 At the same time, he's saying that the media is hammering Donald Trump because he said we should have an investigation on our intelligence community.
00:27:17.000 Well, if you're the former director of the CIA and they're telling you, yeah, he was definitely and they turn out to be wrong, wouldn't you be calling for an investigation?
00:27:29.920 Shouldn't John Brennan be joining Donald Trump on that?
00:27:36.480 You would think so.
00:27:37.780 But I think at this point there's such partisan hacks that they just don't they're not even thinking logically.
00:27:42.520 They're just sputtering out of control.
00:27:44.300 I mean, the whole thing and they should investigate where this thing started, because the whole thing was based on a dossier that has been discredited from day one.
00:27:53.720 And John Brennan actually used that dossier to launch an espionage campaign against all of Trump's people.
00:28:00.260 So whether or not you can trust the guy, I think that's out the window.
00:28:04.900 And the entire intelligence community has been, and including the guys at the Comey McCabe FBI, they've been essentially conspiring to get Trump, for lack of a better term.
00:28:13.940 So I think it is fair to say maybe these guys aren't the honest brokers who thought they were.
00:28:18.900 Maybe these guys should be investigated.
00:28:21.440 All right.
00:28:22.040 Let me ask you one more question.
00:28:23.780 And this I'd like you to ask your friends in the press pool there at the White House.
00:28:27.560 When they start saying I know I know when they start saying Congress wants to look into all of this, Congress is calling for their own investigation.
00:28:41.340 And they want access to this because they they claim today and yesterday they're claiming that they don't have to do the kinds of investigation that the FBI does.
00:28:54.400 They have special powers and they can do special things that the FBI cannot do.
00:29:01.660 I would like you to ask them if you believe that, then how come you didn't say, wait a minute, during the Kavanaugh hearings when they demanded there had to be an FBI investigation because only the FBI could look into things.
00:29:21.980 Congress didn't have the power to do investigations like that.
00:29:27.420 Are you saying that there is some hypocrisy?
00:29:29.740 No, I'm not saying not hypocrisy.
00:29:33.140 Just there's no logic here.
00:29:35.340 There's no logic and no honesty.
00:29:37.420 No honesty.
00:29:38.320 I will ask them that for you.
00:29:39.200 Yes, please do.
00:29:40.560 Please do.
00:29:41.200 And John, my phone line is open to you at any time.
00:29:45.160 I just want to hear I want to hear all of the sad tales from the White House press room as you see them squirm and sob.
00:29:57.240 What did you say?
00:29:58.080 I think, you know, that you just see the different stages of grief.
00:30:01.400 So as they walk through them, I'll try to walk you.
00:30:04.020 Please do.
00:30:04.800 There's seven.
00:30:05.620 There might be 17 stages of grief for them.
00:30:08.300 I don't know, but I want to enjoy every single, every single stage.
00:30:13.100 Thanks, John.
00:30:13.780 You will.
00:30:14.060 Appreciate it.
00:30:15.260 That's John Miller from The Blaze TV.
00:30:19.200 He's the host of White House Brief.
00:30:21.380 Really, really, really sharp guy.
00:30:24.620 You can watch him every day on Blaze TV.
00:30:32.420 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:30:38.300 Mercury One is already on the ground there.
00:30:47.840 We were waiting for the floodwaters to recede.
00:30:51.340 We have trucks that have been trucking things in and feeding people now in Nebraska.
00:30:56.820 You can help with that at mercuryone.org.
00:31:00.040 And Ben Sass from the great state of Nebraska is joining us now.
00:31:04.660 Ben, how are you?
00:31:06.460 I'm doing well, Glenn.
00:31:07.700 And thank you for that shout out to the work you're doing and to the work a lot of other charitable organizations are doing.
00:31:14.400 Really, some amazing stuff of neighbors across the country reaching out to our people.
00:31:18.820 So thank you.
00:31:19.520 I think it was your governor that I heard yesterday saying, you know, Nebraska, they know how to take care of each other.
00:31:28.940 And, you know, while we find it disappointing that the press isn't talking about this, you know, that's fine.
00:31:34.780 We know how to take care of each other.
00:31:36.340 And it must be frustrating for people in Nebraska that, I mean, it's like, I mean, you were treated worse than Puerto Rico.
00:31:47.940 Nobody's even, it's like Nebraska's not even a state.
00:31:50.780 We need to put it in context how big this flood is because since the media hasn't been covering it nationally, I think lots of folks just don't have any understanding of the magnitude of this.
00:32:03.500 But I don't want to focus exclusively on the negative.
00:32:07.220 No, I don't either.
00:32:07.980 I don't either.
00:32:08.660 Or the media's horrible job of covering this.
00:32:11.880 Right.
00:32:11.960 But the sort of stuff of neighbors, I want to make sure we get back to that because I have tears in my eyes every day in some shelter in Nebraska where you meet yet another family who had their house washed away.
00:32:24.040 And when they got delivered to the shelter, they insisted on getting into the volunteer line.
00:32:30.180 People show up at our shelters again and again and again having had their homes washed away.
00:32:34.840 And if their bodies are intact, they get in the volunteer line when they get to the shelter.
00:32:38.960 So some really amazing stuff.
00:32:40.880 But just to put the flood in context for people, by far the worst natural disaster Nebraska has ever experienced.
00:32:46.720 We had a pretty big flood in 2011, eight years ago, that was sort of thought of as the 100-year flood.
00:32:52.300 This is an order of magnitude bigger than that.
00:32:54.960 We have 93 counties and 79 of them are currently in states of emergency.
00:33:00.300 Oh, my gosh.
00:33:00.880 The town that I'm from, a 25,000-person ag town, is on the flattest plains you can imagine.
00:33:08.620 And my town became an island for three and a half days.
00:33:12.800 And we had to start airlifting in water and food and other supplies because there was no way in or out of the town.
00:33:20.040 Well, when you're in a 26,000-person town, we have an airport.
00:33:23.460 So it was pretty easy to airlift supplies in once you realize this problem existed.
00:33:26.860 We have a lot of communities of 300 or 500 people, and we go and find them, and everybody's been rescued now.
00:33:34.260 I mean, every community can get in or out of their space now.
00:33:37.480 But as you'd find some of these communities, there was no looting, and lots of houses have been destroyed.
00:33:42.840 And people got together and created systems to share their food and to sort of voluntarily ration in a whole bunch of these communities.
00:33:49.560 The magnitude of the flood is really hard to understand.
00:33:55.280 I've been up and down on National Guard or Army Corps of Engineers helicopters every couple days just to see what is happening as the floodwaters have started to recede.
00:34:04.100 And Governor Ricketts and I, Governor Ricketts, who you mentioned a little bit ago, he and I had the vice president in town last, I guess it was Thursday.
00:34:11.320 And Pence was up with us, and Pence grew up in a town of 40,000 where everybody was washed away once in a flood.
00:34:17.880 The whole town was wiped out.
00:34:19.400 And as governor of Indiana, they had massive flooding that he'd experienced.
00:34:22.580 He said he'd never seen a flood, anything like this.
00:34:24.960 Holy cow. 0.89
00:34:26.380 Holy cow. 0.89
00:34:28.600 I will tell you, there is something about – my grandmother was from Nebraska.
00:34:34.360 And there is something about these farming communities that we have lost in the rest of the country that – and I think it's because when you're a farmer, you have to rely on your neighbor and God.
00:34:49.200 Those two things don't come through for you, you're toast.
00:34:52.380 And everybody knows that I might be having a great year, but I got to take care of my neighbor whose crop was lost for some reason because the situation is going to be reversed down the road.
00:35:01.960 And so everybody really does take care of one another, and it's so great.
00:35:08.980 We have a picture hanging in our dining room that my wife put up a couple years ago.
00:35:13.940 My wife's an Air Force brat, so born in California, but mostly from Alabama. 1.00
00:35:18.560 And so when she got to Nebraska after we married and I went home to be a college president there, we had this experience where this 58, 59-year-old farmer dropped dead of a heart attack.
00:35:29.460 And it was three weeks from harvest, and his wife looks outside a couple weeks later, and there are 15 $500,000 tractors harvesting all their crop and just producing all the grain for her.
00:35:43.480 And my wife has a picture of all these tractors in formation in tandem in this lady's field on our dining room wall.
00:35:50.440 I've seen it myself as well growing up in a farming community.
00:35:55.340 I mean, it's remarkable.
00:35:57.640 So, Ben, how can Americans help?
00:36:00.460 How can we help?
00:36:02.820 So, first of all, the United Way and the Red Cross are doing great stuff.
00:36:08.280 And then, Glenn, you've been talking about your organization.
00:36:10.680 So there's so many different philanthropies that are working.
00:36:13.980 So thank you for that.
00:36:15.280 How long before you think this is – what's the rebuild like?
00:36:21.840 You know, it's going to be years.
00:36:23.560 So Omaha is on the central edge of the east side of our state, and most of the flooding was north-central and northeast Nebraska.
00:36:33.700 We also have some massive livestock losses in the western part of the state because what precipitated this whole thing is we'd gotten about 40 inches of snow in 60 days in January, February, which is a lot of snow.
00:36:45.040 How much snow?
00:36:46.120 This was more than – we have 40 inches in 60 days.
00:36:49.280 And then we had this thing called a bomb cyclone, which I didn't know anything about before, but it's basically when you have a hurricane effect out of a blizzard.
00:36:58.640 And so at the edge of that blizzard, it's calving season, and Nebraska is one of the biggest cattle sites in the Union.
00:37:04.940 And so you've got a bunch of cows. 0.98
00:37:06.380 Mama cows tend to be good at their job by the second or third time they give birth, but the first time they often don't really know what they're doing. 1.00
00:37:11.780 And so you need to help and make sure baby gets hooked back up with mama.
00:37:16.020 And so in the middle of a blizzard, baby calves are 50 to 120 pounds.
00:37:20.880 They can get frostbite if you don't have a rancher who knows how to help take care of them. 0.98
00:37:24.880 So in the blizzard, we have north of $500 million of livestock loss already just from cattle.
00:37:30.480 Oh, my gosh.
00:37:31.080 But in the eastern part of the state, where we now have flooding in Omaha and south down the Missouri River, so the Missouri divides Nebraska and Iowa, and then Nebraska and Missouri a little farther south, we're dumping sewage from 600,000 people straight into the river in Omaha because all the water treatment facilities are underwater.
00:37:49.360 Oh, my gosh.
00:37:50.000 We have stuff like that that's even before you get to the question of how do you rebuild levees temporarily for just thunderstorm protection this summer.
00:37:58.240 And then the longer-term question is how are farmers and ranchers going to get to market this fall because we have bridges washed out everywhere in the state.
00:38:06.460 Oh, my gosh.
00:38:07.280 So it's a multi-year recovery I think we're looking at.
00:38:09.820 Holy cow. 0.89
00:38:11.420 Ben, thank you so much.
00:38:13.520 We know prayers matter, and so we are praying for the people of Nebraska and you and the governor and everybody else involved in the rescue and rebuilding process, which probably sounds like everybody in Nebraska.
00:38:29.620 But we urge you to give wherever you want to give.
00:38:34.280 Mercury One, when you give to Mercury One, 100% of the proceeds go to what it's earmarked for.
00:38:40.480 So if you earmark it for the flood in Nebraska, 100% will go.
00:38:45.020 We urge you just to go to our relief efforts on the site and just donate there at Relief Efforts, Humanitarian Relief, and the money will go there to help them out.
00:38:56.780 All my best to you and your family.
00:39:00.060 God bless.
00:39:00.840 Appreciate it.
00:39:01.360 Appreciate you covering this.
00:39:02.300 You bet.
00:39:02.940 Senator Ben Sass.
00:39:07.040 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:39:09.120 All right.
00:39:20.400 The producer of a very important movie, The Creepy Line.
00:39:24.880 If you haven't seen it, go to The Creepy Line.
00:39:27.340 Is it .com or .org, Peter?
00:39:30.860 Is he there?
00:39:31.900 Peter?
00:39:32.980 Yes, hey.
00:39:33.620 Is it .org or .com, The Creepy Line?
00:39:36.200 It's .com.
00:39:37.120 Okay, TheCreepyLine.com.
00:39:39.040 Everybody needs to see this.
00:39:40.420 It's about the future and how you're being manipulated by Google and Facebook and everything else.
00:39:46.540 He is also, Peter Schweitzer is also the author of Secret Empires, How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.
00:39:56.400 We wanted to have him on.
00:39:58.900 It's out in paperback, so you can grab this.
00:40:01.280 But we wanted to get him on to talk specifically about Joe Biden.
00:40:04.880 Now, this is a book that you wrote, what, three years ago or so?
00:40:08.600 It came out a year ago.
00:40:10.120 A year ago.
00:40:10.720 Okay.
00:40:10.980 Yes, a year ago.
00:40:11.980 And I did your show then, and we talked about various people.
00:40:15.240 But, of course, Biden has now resurfaced as sort of the major candidate.
00:40:19.760 Okay, so you go into Joe Biden, and I find this hard to believe because you've not heard anything about this in the mainstream media.
00:40:31.120 He's one of, you make the case, one of the most, if not the most corrupt vice president we have ever had.
00:40:40.920 Yeah, that's exactly right.
00:40:42.840 Spiro Agnew comes to mind.
00:40:45.420 We've had some pretty bad ones.
00:40:46.760 Yeah, we have.
00:40:48.100 There's no question about it.
00:40:49.320 And the reason Joe Biden has been able to sort of maintain this image is that he does something that I call offshore his corruption.
00:40:59.300 And what offshoring the corruption basically means is, you know, he does not take payments from foreign governments and foreign entities.
00:41:07.040 His wife does not.
00:41:08.780 But his adult son does.
00:41:11.680 And what that means is he doesn't have to disclose the business relationships, which are highly questionable, that his son has with all these foreign entities.
00:41:22.680 And it's really highlighted by the fact that these business dealings are exactly in the foreign governments where Vice President Joe Biden was the point person for Obama policy.
00:41:34.940 And in fact, in one instance, we know his son actually flew with his father on Air Force Two to close the deal with a foreign government.
00:41:45.180 So Joe Biden can't plead ignorance to this by any stretch of the imagination.
00:41:49.620 So what kind of deals are we talking about?
00:41:53.180 And go ahead.
00:41:54.900 Yeah, we're talking about mind boggling deals.
00:41:57.140 So in December of 2013, Joe Biden is flying on Air Force Two for a trip to Asia.
00:42:03.040 He goes to Tokyo.
00:42:04.140 He goes to Seoul, South Korea.
00:42:05.560 But the main part of the trip is to Beijing, China.
00:42:08.400 On the plane with him is his son, Hunter Biden.
00:42:11.880 They spend three days in China.
00:42:14.260 Biden is, frankly, criticized by the Washington Post and other entities for going soft on Beijing.
00:42:20.660 He basically doesn't challenge them much on the South China Sea, on human rights, on trade policy.
00:42:26.920 The most important thing that happens happens 10 days after they come back.
00:42:32.180 And that's when Hunter Biden's very small financial firm inks a $1 billion, that's with a B, $1 billion private equity deal with the government of China.
00:42:45.940 This is not a Chinese corporation.
00:42:48.240 This is not an American company.
00:42:49.800 This is the Chinese government.
00:42:52.360 It's later expanded to $1.5 billion.
00:42:55.840 And here's the important part, Glenn.
00:42:58.920 Hunter Biden really has no background in private equity, and he has no background in China.
00:43:04.400 And this deal through the Shanghai Free Trade Zone is unlike any deal that any other investment firm has in China.
00:43:14.040 J.P. Morgan doesn't have this deal, Goldman Sachs.
00:43:17.300 So it stinks to high heaven.
00:43:19.180 And it's the first of a series of deals that Hunter Biden's small financial firm does with the Chinese government.
00:43:27.120 It involves real estate deals.
00:43:28.980 It involves the Chinese military.
00:43:32.000 It's extremely troubling and really daunting to get your hands around the size and the scope of these deals that he cuts.
00:43:39.880 Okay.
00:43:40.120 All right.
00:43:40.580 Hang on just a second.
00:43:42.040 So I just want to play devil's advocate.
00:43:44.960 Sure.
00:43:45.260 What is his son's – I mean, there's nothing special about his firm.
00:43:52.960 I mean, Goldman Sachs doesn't have it.
00:43:55.100 That's pretty damning that J.P. Morgan doesn't have it, but he does.
00:44:00.820 He's got to have some expertise that you've missed.
00:44:06.680 You know, I understand exactly why you're raising that question, Glenn, because this is so shocking.
00:44:12.600 But the fact is, Joe Biden, when he becomes vice president, up until that point, his son Hunter is a lobbyist in Washington, D.C.
00:44:21.980 for online gambling entities.
00:44:24.840 The point being, this private equity deal with the Chinese government – and again, this is the Chinese government giving Hunter Biden
00:44:34.120 and this firm the opportunity to invest what becomes $1.5 billion in Chinese government money.
00:44:43.420 And he has no background in this area.
00:44:45.560 And it's very clear that he doesn't have background in this area.
00:44:49.240 But he is glad to take the deal.
00:44:51.260 And again, if you look at White House logs, we know that there are meetings that take place with a couple of the other guys that are his business partners.
00:44:59.940 There's a guy named Devin Archer, who's a longtime friend of Hunter Biden's.
00:45:05.060 Devin Archer, who went on trial last year for a bond scheme that basically ripped $60 million off of the poorest Indian tribe in America.
00:45:16.980 There is no conceivable path or way that you can justify the Chinese government giving this deal to Joe Biden's son,
00:45:27.800 other than the fact is he is Joe Biden's son, and Joe Biden was the point person – Barack Obama said explicitly –
00:45:35.980 the point person on U.S. policy towards China during the Obama administration.
00:45:40.780 Okay, so there's one.
00:45:45.480 I mean, everybody makes a mistake once.
00:45:53.440 Is there any more?
00:45:55.500 There are.
00:45:56.700 And here's the thing.
00:45:58.540 We've sort of scratched the surface on this.
00:46:00.940 We know that there was also a dirty deal done in the Ukraine. 0.92
00:46:04.640 So Ukraine, of course, facing aggression from Russia in 2014 – now, this is April of 2014, so this is only four months after that Chinese deal is inked.
00:46:17.400 Hunter Biden joins the board of directors and is an advisor to a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma, and it's headed by two very corrupt oligarchs.
00:46:31.220 I mean, these oligarchs, if you read about them, Kolomovsky and Vlachevsky, they're like out of – they're villains out of a Bond novel, a James Bond novel.
00:46:40.540 I mean, they're that troublesome.
00:46:44.000 Hunter Biden joins the board of these Ukrainian companies at exactly the same time that his father is responsible for all Western aid flowing to the Ukrainian government.
00:46:55.780 And that includes $1.8 billion that we pump into the Ukraine through an entity called Privat Bank.
00:47:05.860 Now, we give them $1.8 billion.
00:47:08.800 A billion of that disappears.
00:47:11.520 Disappears overnight.
00:47:12.900 This is not in dispute.
00:47:13.900 It's been widely reported.
00:47:15.440 Here's the troubling part.
00:47:16.900 Who owns Privat Bank?
00:47:19.020 The same oligarch who has Hunter Biden on the payroll, who controls Burisma Energy.
00:47:24.360 And let me add again, Hunter Biden has no background in Ukraine.
00:47:28.700 He has no background in the energy field.
00:47:31.460 He gets this position because his father, again, is the Obama administration's point person on policy towards Ukraine at this very, very crucial time.
00:47:41.780 And they figure out the way to get favorable treatment from Joe Biden is to set up the sun with a very lucrative arrangement.
00:47:49.300 I know, I think I know the answer to this.
00:47:53.880 Why is no one covering this?
00:47:57.460 It's, you know, it's remarkable.
00:47:59.760 You know, my view has always been, and, you know, in light of the Mueller report, in light of the Clintons and Uranium One, that we ought to be looking at all questions of foreign influence on American politics.
00:48:11.620 Yeah, and it doesn't matter, you agree with me, I don't care if it's Republican or Democrat or independent.
00:48:17.800 All relationships, especially anything to do with China and the Russian bloc.
00:48:24.640 Exactly, exactly right.
00:48:26.520 And, you know, look, I, very early on, when the Mueller investigation was launched, I said, look, this ought to be looked at.
00:48:33.900 Let's just find out what's there.
00:48:35.520 And, of course, in my mind, it became pretty clear, you know, five or six months in that there was not a whole lot to that narrative.
00:48:42.660 But my view has always been it all ought to be looked at.
00:48:46.580 It all ought to be looked at.
00:48:48.340 And in the case of Joe Biden, unlike the, you know, the allegations of Russian collusion with Trump, you have exchange of money, large sums of money, you have favorable policy decisions that Joe Biden is taking as vice president, and you have rival powers.
00:49:06.880 I mean, China is a rival, and I would argue probably a bigger threat to America's future than Russia will be. 0.98
00:49:12.740 Russia is a declining power.
00:49:14.300 And yet there is no interest, very little interest, in looking into precisely these types of arrangements.
00:49:21.880 And, by the way, Glenn, these are the only cases that we know of, Ukraine and China.
00:49:27.820 We actually got access when Hunter Biden's business partner, Devin Archer, went on trial in New York last summer.
00:49:34.980 We got from the prosecutors financial records that involved accounts that served as pass-throughs.
00:49:41.740 And Hunter Biden was getting money out of these accounts.
00:49:44.800 Flowing into that account is not only $3 million from Ukrainians and, you know, $1 million from the Chinese.
00:49:52.840 There's also, you know, these transactions that we don't know where they're coming from.
00:49:57.260 There's $1.2 million from some anonymous LLC run through a Swiss bank, a very small Swiss bank,
00:50:05.000 which has been implicated in money laundering in 10 separate countries.
00:50:10.840 Now, where's that money coming from?
00:50:13.140 There's money from a Kazakh oligarch.
00:50:15.700 This is all money that's going into account where Hunter Biden is skimming off funds.
00:50:21.640 And it's all occurring in 2014 to 2016, while his father is vice president of the United States and steering American foreign policy.
00:50:30.200 All right, Peter, will you do me a favor? Could you write this up in the clearest and most dead, dead to rights facts?
00:50:39.880 So there's no speculation and and condense what you have in the book just to like a page or so.
00:50:46.880 And I'm going to ask everyone in the audience to get the book Secret Empires.
00:50:51.160 It's out right now. Get the book Secret Empires.
00:50:54.080 But then if you can write this for me, I'd like to send this out to the audience and have them send it to everyone they know and make sure that it gets into the hands.
00:51:05.360 Everybody should flood the Democrats who are running against Joe Biden, because the only way this will be investigated or talked about is right now when they're trying to bump each other off.
00:51:18.220 Here's what I'm going to suggest, Glenn. I'm going to give you the rights to copy the afterword of the book, which is, you know, six or seven pages long.
00:51:28.680 And it's just bullet points of what we know about the flow of funds, who they go to and where they go to.
00:51:35.440 And you can send that out to your listeners. And this is not in dispute.
00:51:38.860 You know, Biden's response to me only came when The Wall Street Journal did an initial report on this.
00:51:45.100 And all he did was attack me personally. He didn't refute anything.
00:51:48.660 And the problem that he has is the financial records, the Chinese corporate documents, they are all clear cut.
00:51:56.060 This is not subject to dispute. The only defense that he has is to try to argue that his son got all these deals based on merit.
00:52:05.260 And that's just simply not true.
00:52:07.220 Do you have those documents from China and everything else?
00:52:11.440 Absolutely. We do.
00:52:12.420 Send those to me as well. I'd like every bit of hard evidence and send it to me.
00:52:17.480 And then we'll we'll we'll talk again. Peter, thank you so much.
00:52:22.020 Hang on the phone. I just want to make sure you're sending it to the to the right place.
00:52:25.860 Peter Schweitzer. He has a new book and we'll have to talk to him.
00:52:30.080 Paperback again. Yeah, it's out in paperback. It's called Secret Empires.
00:52:33.620 What we're talking about is the corruption of Joe Biden.
00:52:37.380 These guys, the Clintons really pioneered this, but they have made this being president.
00:52:44.500 They've made it into a business. And Joe Biden is very, very corrupt.
00:52:50.400 And the only time they will look into it is right now.
00:52:53.580 The blaze radio network on demand.
