00:00:00.000 hey still we're eight days away from what either a celebration or suicide i'm not sure

00:00:08.640 a gloat fest or pity party yeah it really is uh we're eight days away from the election we want

00:00:15.360 to go over some of the polls uh today uh see what what's happening they seem to be tightening

00:00:21.200 a bit yeah there's some there's some evidence i kind of expect that to happen but we'll see

00:00:26.480 how it goes uh too close to call in most states yeah amazing it's an amazing amazing thing to watch

00:00:34.360 i'm ready for it to be over though including texas we'll get into all of that here in just a second

00:00:39.520 also uh the great reset and what it means if joe biden is elected next week what will america go

00:00:49.820 through we're doing a special on wednesday night um at uh 8 p.m eastern time about what does the

00:00:58.240 first hundred days of joe biden look like if he would win it's more terrifying because we're using

00:01:04.440 their own words and their plans it's more terrifying than even what we lay out today and what we lay out

00:01:10.920 on today's podcast is is pretty bad that and also the hunter biden scandal what's new is the press

00:01:19.400 still not saying anything about it and what is the cure for the facebook twitter banishing of the

00:01:27.960 first amendment all that and more on today's podcast

00:01:30.580 you're listening to the best of the glenn beck program

00:01:41.560 mr pat gray joins us from the yay yes from the pat gray radio roundup with his cowboy orchestra welcome

00:01:52.360 thank you good to be here pat gray unleashed is the podcast you can hear him on blaze radio he

00:01:57.860 records it every morning before this program and then uh you can hear it wherever podcasts are uh

00:02:03.660 are are heard which i don't know where that is phone booths you know in some of the sketchiest parts

00:02:08.560 of town hardware stores heard yes a lot of hardware stores carry the podcast welcome to uh welcome

00:02:13.460 to the program pat thank you we're just we're just talking about the polls and uh and and and if

00:02:20.220 they're if they're accurate or not and you know i i i hope that everybody is a little freaked out

00:02:28.640 i hope that trump supporters are freaked out because you should be uh you know the biden people

00:02:34.120 the polls are showing the polls are showing biden you know ahead by 47 points and biden people are

00:02:41.060 freaking out now part of that is psd from last time yes i think that's a big part of it right but they

00:02:47.680 are but they are freaking out which means they're really motivated to go to the polls i think trump

00:02:52.660 supporters are very motivated but we are also a little uh i think i think texas could be very

00:02:59.500 surprised oh it's i just saw a ball where he's down by three in texas which i don't believe um but

00:03:05.540 i also saw where okay 60 million people have voted already they keep saying 60 million people have

00:03:12.520 already voted and they claim that it's a 51 26 democrat to republican split on that

00:03:19.380 well 51 26 what was 60 million people but that's what they've been telling people to do

00:03:27.720 what go out go out early everybody else has been like i'm not voting early i don't think my vote's

00:03:33.460 gonna count but i i think i i would not be stunned that after this election we realized that was the

00:03:38.840 single biggest strategic mistake of the trump campaign yeah i kind of feel that way they

00:03:46.620 encouraged people to say no like the mail voting thing is a fraud don't do that go on election day

00:03:52.740 and they did it for weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and you know look i democrats are always a

00:03:57.300 little bit more likely to do early voting but not like this people are like okay i'm not going to do

00:04:01.900 i'm going to go to the polls and you should but go to the polls today if you have early today

00:04:06.840 i'm going today we're saying go vote early just vote with the regular way don't don't do a paper

00:04:15.160 ballot that's what the message has been but go vote early yeah go vote early as you point out

00:04:21.400 i'm gonna go today hopefully me too as we point out pat that there is this uh if you have 60 million

00:04:27.660 votes and it's basically two to one you're talking about so yeah so right now banked votes and we don't

00:04:33.160 know exactly because we're only talking about uh party registration but at this point it's basically

00:04:38.300 a that would give you a 20 million vote lead yeah for joe biden going in if you kind of summarize

00:04:45.320 this right now look i don't know for sure if that's real but the point is you expect the election day

00:04:53.520 vote to go heavily in favor of trump the bigger this gets though yeah the worse the worse it is and god

00:04:59.420 forbid there's a terrible snowstorm on you know on election day which could happen you don't have

00:05:04.720 these shut up shut up you don't have these votes back or hurricane storm super storm sandy right yeah 0.87

00:05:11.100 i mean like shut up shut up shut up shut up and this is the reason why people like the early voting 0.73

00:05:15.620 thing when you're a candidate right is because you get to lock these people in right they're they've

00:05:20.740 already voted you're and then you not only are do you have the vote for sure so the person

00:05:24.620 does it can't come up with an excuse on election day you know because what if there's a covid flare

00:05:29.200 up or so you know there's a lot of reasons you can't get to the polls the other thing they like

00:05:32.520 about it though is they don't they no longer have to spend resources to make sure that person goes to

00:05:36.840 vote so this entire time for republicans they need to come back and harass these voters over and over

00:05:41.040 again to go to the polls once these people vote on the democratic side they're like okay zero dollars

00:05:46.600 get to go towards that person and i know it's not exactly said like that but they can take large swaths

00:05:53.340 of their expected electorate and stop spending resources on them so it's a money thing too it's

00:05:58.280 a money it's a resource thing it's why they like the early vote so much right and it is i think a

00:06:04.500 legitimate point that republicans have made during this process to say hey is it sensible for people

00:06:12.300 to be voting four weeks before a debate like that's not a good idea it's not at all there's too much to

00:06:20.280 learn no and there's too much that happens between late september and november 3rd when you're supposed

00:06:26.780 to vote yeah so it's way too long i think you know if you want to vote early that isn't the two week

00:06:32.620 time period it seems kind of enough it seems sensible look i mean even within that two two week time

00:06:38.320 period look at what we have seen now happen with joe biden right i mean look at that information

00:06:44.480 is there anyone that regrets it or will regret it by the time the election comes is there anybody that

00:06:50.980 voted for joe biden i doubt it i don't think i don't know man this is really bad this is really

00:06:56.920 really bad they don't believe it they don't believe it he's just passing it off as russian

00:07:01.040 disinformation you know well then explain why the new york times in 2018 did a story on the very

00:07:08.080 thing that we now have proof of the new york times said it looks like and if this is true it's really

00:07:14.980 bad and now we have the evidence of it i mean i know i mean it's crazy it's just i know but they

00:07:22.760 let him off the hook i savannah guthrie last night on 60 minutes just let him say it without challenging

00:07:29.000 it at all she doesn't say no joe uh the computer has been verified as his and so have the emails

00:07:38.700 so don't tell me this came from a russian here she is here she is last night do you believe the

00:07:43.940 recent leak of material allegedly from hunter's computer is part of a russian disinformation

00:07:50.820 campaign from what i've read and know the intelligence community warned the president that

00:07:56.260 juliani was being fed disinformation from the russians and we also know that putin is trying

00:08:03.880 very hard to spread disinformation about joe biden we know and so when you put the combination of

00:08:09.960 russia juliani the president together sure um it's just what it is it's a smear campaign because he has

00:08:16.160 nothing he wants to talk about in his what is he running on what i don't it's incredible it's

00:08:24.680 incredible did you notice the way he put it though he's uh it had nothing to do with her question

00:08:29.980 nothing to do with her question yeah good thing she has to follow oh no no she didn't yeah um but

00:08:35.600 let me ask you this the does does it matter that the excitement level is so different the excitement

00:08:47.360 level for for instance on saturday 130 cars pulled up to a biden drive-in rally okay um that wasn't that

00:08:59.140 wasn't as bad as the barack obama rally where 400 people total showed up for barack obama for barack

00:09:10.480 obama and a savior the savior democrats there's like there's nobody showing up to these things i

00:09:16.680 was at a uh i was at a uh trump rally you know the trump train my wife is like she is the conductor of

00:09:24.320 the trump train really oh my gosh yeah she is just like she said to me i think friday night tomorrow

00:09:31.120 tomorrow morning we're going to the trump store and i'm like trump store what is the trump store

00:09:35.040 and she's like there's a trump store you don't know there's a trump store there's trump store and

00:09:38.400 blah blah and i'm like okay why are we going to the trump store because we're going to the trump

00:09:43.860 train on sunday we're going what when what are we doing sunday afternoon there's a big trump rally

00:09:49.000 we're going to the rally and i'm like oh okay dear i mean it's but it was it was amazing to see

00:09:56.380 because it was peaceful it was really upbeat it was packed and people said when i started talking to

00:10:04.180 people um the the one thing i heard that i that i thought this is who the trump people are they said

00:10:14.680 i have no problem if trump loses and it's and it's real i have no problem with that but i am so

00:10:26.340 terrified problems with it yeah they have problems you're not gonna you're not gonna go to the street

00:10:29.320 it was a fake election yeah and they said if if he would just if it was fair and that's what the

00:10:35.540 american people said you accept it they said we would accept it and and they said uh uh and i i asked

00:10:43.000 so if that happened and you thought it was fair would you tell donald trump to leave if some reason and

00:10:50.520 they all laughed and they're like of course he would leave yeah and i said right but if he didn't if

00:10:55.520 they were right and he didn't would you be on this and they said of course we would yeah we want the

00:11:02.000 american system and we want it to be fair but all of them thought that there's no way it was going to

00:11:07.580 be fair and that's and that i get up this morning i'm listening i don't know npr or something and uh

00:11:14.000 they're they're these people on who are you know working to secure the ballots and we're fighting in

00:11:20.120 court to make sure that we can count them nine days later and they said you know the problem is is

00:11:25.020 that uh donald trump is going to steal this election so both sides are thinking that it's

00:11:29.700 going to be a stolen election so dangerous so dangerous because that's the one thing that would

00:11:35.380 cause us to be at each other's throats did you did you see uh biden uh bragging about the largest

00:11:42.040 fraudulent voter organization he's ever put together yeah it's not yes it is no it's not play it's

00:11:49.280 it's not yes it is and you guys did it did it for our administration the president obama's

00:11:54.980 administration before this we have put together i think the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud

00:12:05.160 organization in the history of american that's his own words

00:12:10.620 and to be clear he looked like he looked down and read that so he meant it yeah that was yeah

00:12:21.080 he's put together largest voter fraud organization in american history there's so many proud of it

00:12:27.160 right there's so many people that are retweeting this with that point of view they're like look

00:12:31.180 he's admitted it no that's not what he was talking about that's not what he's saying he also this

00:12:35.200 weekend thought he was running against george w bush so you can't really trust that he is uh he knows

00:12:42.100 what he's talking about i'm just saying the best of the glenn beck program

00:12:49.260 justin haskins uh he's the editorial director for the heartland institute he's also the co-author

00:13:00.940 of a uh of a new book we're working on right now uh called the great reset uh he's editor-in-chief

00:13:08.920 of stopping socialism.com been a fan of the program for a long time and i've been a fan of his for a

00:13:14.380 long time uh it's funny because justin you called me what was it uh two months ago and said we've got to

00:13:22.300 do a book on uh the great reset and i was just about to call you and say we've got to do a book on the

00:13:28.580 great reset because it is terrifying it's out in the open shockingly going to be the full issue

00:13:36.220 of time magazine they don't seem to be afraid of it and it is barreling towards us yeah that's

00:13:44.680 exactly right and just think about how astounding it is that time magazine just less than two weeks

00:13:51.380 before the election would devote an entire issue to this one topic that shows you just how important

00:13:58.340 it is to people on the left and just how powerful this movement is going to be if joe biden wins okay

00:14:03.580 so here's the thing i want you to know if you go to the blaze.com uh or you go to glennbeck.com

00:14:09.100 we have an article on it right now that you can spread with your friends so remember listen in the

00:14:14.980 next few minutes and when you want to share with your friends what's going on uh make sure you grab

00:14:20.880 the article at glennbeck.com or theblaze.com on the great reset so where do we begin i mean i feel like

00:14:29.140 we should start with this is not a conspiracy theory this is the world leaders are all involved in this

00:14:36.280 yes that that's right i mean the great reset is a extremely well documented idea the great reset isn't

00:14:44.140 something that you or i came up with this is the language that they've used they've branded it as

00:14:49.260 part of a marketing campaign calling the great reset and that the whole concept of the great

00:14:54.920 reset is they're going to push the reset button on the global economy that's what they want to do

00:15:00.660 and so i i don't think i i think it is important for people to understand that this isn't some

00:15:05.620 right-wing conspiracy this is what they want uh the head of the world economic forum klaus schwab

00:15:11.700 the biggest advocate of the great reset i know in the world uh says that every country from the

00:15:18.520 united states to china must participate in this great reset and every industry from oil and gas to

00:15:24.280 tech must be transformed in short we need a great reset of capitalism and this and he talks about

00:15:30.960 revamping all aspects of our societies and economies from education to social contracts and working

00:15:37.400 conditions this is coming straight from his mouth this is a incredibly radical and dangerous idea

00:15:44.220 and corporations from all over the world international the international monetary fund

00:15:49.240 the united nations prince charles all sorts of americans are all lining up behind it and this is

00:15:55.580 this is not again this is straight from their mouths this is what they want they want to blow up the

00:16:00.660 world economy and start all over again well that's what the great reset's all about the crazy thing is

00:16:06.360 is that we have blown up the economy and you know i i'm not saying that uh i'm saying that corona was a

00:16:15.720 a very useful uh emergency but it is why everything is being shut down it is why everyone keeps saying

00:16:25.700 keep the economy closed we can't go to school we can't they need the economy of the west to collapse

00:16:32.200 to be able to do this it will only be in a collapse that a full collapse that they will be able to

00:16:39.520 convince the american people to go along with this and it's a new sort of capitalism and you'll read

00:16:45.620 about this in time magazine a new sort of capitalism that is wow strangely sounds like chinese communism

00:16:53.400 uh it is a a capitalism where sure you're allowed to own your own business but you have to change the

00:17:03.540 way you look at things the government you'll be partners with the government and the government will

00:17:07.780 tell you what is really needed and they'll tell you exactly how to run everything and you're going to pay

00:17:13.840 a lot more in taxes but that's because we're more community minded it's terrifying yeah that that's that's

00:17:22.460 exactly right it's the state managing private property ownership but really is it private

00:17:29.080 property ownership if the state is the one forcing you to behave in certain ways telling you who you

00:17:34.640 have to have on your board of directors uh heavily incentivizing people with gigantic infusions of

00:17:41.380 government printed cash or in punishing people with taxes of businesses that they don't like i mean

00:17:46.780 it's it's the state managing the economy um under the guise of private property ownership and you

00:17:54.220 know let's just do what's in the best interest of the collective um and they call it stakeholder

00:17:59.520 capitalism stakeholders just another way of saying the collective it's collectivist capitalism essentially

00:18:05.660 which i think is an oxymoron it is um and and really it's not capitalism at all what it is is it's a

00:18:11.780 form of socialism or some kind of fascism or we've seen this let's call it what it is wait wait wait let's

00:18:19.360 call it what it is it is it has been practiced before it is currently being practiced in china

00:18:25.700 and it was practiced the last time in uh nazi germany you were allowed to own your own properties but the

00:18:33.880 state told you exactly what you had to do with it and they would they had the power to take away or to

00:18:40.380 punish anyone who didn't fall in line with what the state said was best for the collective period that's

00:18:47.380 what it is it is communism in china today where they call it this quasi-capitalism or it's the fascism

00:18:55.140 of the nazis that's what it is period yep that's right and just going back to what i said before when

00:19:02.340 i was quoting klaus schwab but he says every country must participate must participate and every industry

00:19:08.100 must be transformed i mean that's it doesn't get any clearer than that what they're after is putting

00:19:15.020 the elites in in not just in america but all over the world completely transforming society so that

00:19:22.080 elites are controlling the entire economy because you know we're a bunch of stupid sheep and they're 0.98

00:19:26.980 much smarter than we are that's that's how they look at the world and and now they they're seeing

00:19:31.860 covid19 as an as a convenient justification for starting this process and they use climate change

00:19:40.600 as the long-term justification for keeping it going when the pandemic eventually ends and again

00:19:46.460 they're this isn't a theory this is them talking about these things they're the ones calling this

00:19:51.200 a justification prince charles called covid19 a golden opportunity to enact this great reset so do all

00:19:58.480 the people involved listen to this quote this is from time magazine in september uh my belief was a

00:20:05.180 more virtuous capitalist system is possible and it was reaffirmed by an initiative of the forum's

00:20:11.040 uh international business council led by brian monahan of the bank of america they released the

00:20:18.380 stakeholder capitalism metrics so the metrics are what is the gender pay gap in company x how many people

00:20:25.880 of diverse backgrounds were hired and promoted what progress has the company made towards reducing its

00:20:31.000 greenhouse gas emissions how much did the company pay in taxes globally per jurisdiction and what did

00:20:37.780 the company do to hire and train new employees they they will have a federal office i'm sorry a global

00:20:45.740 office if they get their way um that will will go and look at all of these metrics for every single

00:20:54.080 business in the world i don't know about you but uh it doesn't sound fun no no that's exactly right

00:21:04.060 and a lot of this stuff was spelled out um that the principles were spelled out in agenda 21

00:21:09.720 the united nations agenda 2030 uh the sustainable development goals and all of these things what

00:21:15.800 this is is it's in a it's an attempt to take those sustainable development goals that came from agenda 21

00:21:21.480 agenda 2030 and impose those on corporations and businesses and how they behave so that it's not

00:21:29.120 just what government is doing in government programs it's how government can force businesses 0.55

00:21:34.060 and corporations to do those same things to enact those sustainable development goals so it's forcing

00:21:40.160 businesses to to become leftist institutions engage in social justice causes uh and you're going to use

00:21:49.080 the power of the government through regulations through taxes through incentives and all these other

00:21:53.980 things to force these companies to engage in this behavior that's the plan and it's it's incredibly well

00:22:01.040 documented uh and it is being sold now by time magazine the entire uh edition of time magazine is it

00:22:10.000 this week or next week do you know it already came out it already came out so it is out now and i suggest

00:22:16.300 that you get it and read it um it is the great reset calls for the introduction of far left progressive

00:22:23.520 and socialist policies such as government-run health care imagine that basic income and the green new deal

00:22:31.900 if adopted the great reset won't be subtle a radical and dramatic departure from the existing capitalist

00:22:40.700 system and one that would demand changes to america and the world's social contract in an article published

00:22:48.280 on the world economic forum's website schwab said quote the world must act jointly and swiftly to revamp

00:22:56.520 all aspects of our societies and economies from education to social contract to working conditions

00:23:05.260 every country from the united states to china must participate and every industry from oil and gas to tech

00:23:14.020 must be transformed in short we need a great reset of capitalism

00:23:20.860 end quote this is something you must understand before election day if the democrats get in

00:23:31.760 the great reset will be part of the american society it will become what we are a a stakeholder capitalist

00:23:43.680 society that's how they're selling either fascism just exactly the way the nazis had it or chinese 0.97

00:23:52.580 communism if you believe that that is the way america should go then you should vote for the democrats

00:23:59.060 if you believe it shouldn't you might understand why they're fighting so hard to make sure that donald trump

00:24:08.520 is destroyed this is something that you must understand and the article is available now at glennbeck.com

00:24:56.460 worth your time how to put a stop to twitter's game playing on censorship with the hunter biden

00:25:02.120 emails welcome to the program andy glenn great to be with you so it is really hard to keep these all of

00:25:09.220 these leaks straight i mean they seem to be coming from everywhere the laptop the emails uh from swizer

00:25:16.500 the bevan cooney emails and now text messages from tony uh bobolinski

00:25:21.680 any reason to believe that these things are illegitimate

00:25:26.440 i don't think so glenn i thought that even before

00:25:31.140 we got the uh the later two strands of information so when the story was just the post story before we got the uh

00:25:39.760 the latest stuff from schweitzer and uh the bobolinski stuff um i thought if if you looked at the computer

00:25:47.920 the evidence and the first thing a prosecutor or any investigator looks at when they're trying to

00:25:54.680 decide an authentic authenticity question is the stuff itself because if it looks fraudulent or if it

00:26:02.180 doesn't look like it is what it's represented to be then you don't have to go to all the other

00:26:06.940 questions about its providence and contextually um the emails fit with a lot of stuff that that peter

00:26:14.820 schweitzer had already uh done a lot of uh investigative scut work on so contextually it fit

00:26:21.380 and there's thousands of these photographs so the the uh idea the photographs and videos the idea that

00:26:27.720 they had been phoned up seemed highly unlikely and of course the most important thing was they wouldn't

00:26:34.240 come out and say it was fake in fact the first impulse the biden campaign had when they were asked

00:26:41.380 about whether a vice president president biden had met with this burisma official was to check the

00:26:47.480 official calendar you know if they thought the stuff was fraudulent you would figure their first impulse

00:26:51.960 would be why should we check the calendar it's all fake phony whatever uh so you know i i thought that

00:26:58.800 was pretty strong and now we have these two other entirely separate streams of the same information

00:27:05.680 which are both corroborative uh and very informative in their own right so the notion that this is not

00:27:12.580 authentic uh to me is just it's frivolous at this point okay so i just want to ask you as a as a

00:27:19.900 you know u.s attorney you were a u.s attorney at the southern district of new york as a prosecutor

00:27:25.500 some of the messages revealed by the daily caller have been criticized because they came apparently

00:27:31.320 from a phone that appeared to be connected to a russian cell service a what do you make about that

00:27:36.980 um uh i haven't seen anybody say that they were falsified is it fair i mean i feel uncomfortable

00:27:45.200 with things coming from russia should we should these outlets be more clear where they came from

00:27:52.560 and just because it's connected to a russian cell phone does that make a difference to you as a

00:27:57.180 prosecutor it would put my antenna up uh but at the same time you know i think you have to bear a few

00:28:07.560 things in mind since we've become so irrational about russia in the last four years um one of them

00:28:15.840 is that the fact that something comes from russia doesn't mean it's false you know a lot of times

00:28:22.600 the russians dump information on us that is embarrassing and difficult to deal with because

00:28:28.200 it's true um and you know for example the democratic the dnc emails in 2016 um the reason the hacking and

00:28:38.560 the publication of them was an embarrassment for democrats was because they were authentic

00:28:43.180 uh so you know the fact that russia rears its head in something uh is a red flag for an investigator 0.98

00:28:51.940 meaning you always have to be on guard that you're you're getting something that could be

00:28:56.480 misinformation or could be phonied up uh but it's at least equally likely that there's true information

00:29:03.460 that is embarrassing and difficult for us to deal with so you do what you would do in any instance i

00:29:09.500 mean i learned when i was a prosecutor that uh you know we took information from terrorists we took

00:29:15.960 information from hitmen we took information from the most awful people on the planet you do your

00:29:21.880 homework you know they give it to you because and you take it because they may be the only sources of

00:29:27.320 that kind of information that you get you know we don't get upstanding members of the community to

00:29:31.500 give us uh information about criminal criminal activity but then you do your homework on it and try to

00:29:37.040 corroborate it so the the um laptop itself was given to the fbi i believe last december rudy giuliani

00:29:47.560 didn't get a copy of it until a week ago i think it was a week ago last weekend um and um he then

00:29:56.320 pushed it uh out why why wouldn't the fbi release this information why is it taken so long

00:30:05.760 i i assume that some of it may have been that that they were slow to act on it i understand that

00:30:13.440 the first fbi office that got offered the information uh didn't accept it why and you

00:30:19.980 know we still haven't got i don't know the answer to that we haven't gotten good answers from

00:30:23.820 uh the fbi about the way this has been handled and that's the kind of thing congress really has to

00:30:28.820 bring ray in and ask them some questions about what they did here but to give them the benefit

00:30:35.900 of the doubt uh i i think it looks like there was there is a serious ongoing investigation about this

00:30:45.320 that is centered in the baltimore field office i think glenn the story i heard was that the um

00:30:52.500 that the fellow who had the computer first tried to give it to the fbi in albuquerque

00:30:58.840 and then ultimately it was taken by the fbi in baltimore by virtue of a subpoena grand jury subpoena

00:31:06.840 that was issued by the u.s attorney in delaware okay and there's no reason to think that they're not

00:31:12.180 doing a serious investigation on it but you know when you if you're investigating evidently they're

00:31:19.320 looking at money laundering that's according to the coding that we have uh from some reporting about

00:31:25.020 how they open the investigation and you know we know from the manafort investigation that uh

00:31:31.300 that muller did when you're dealing with funding streams that are from outside the country or a lot

00:31:38.700 of the information a lot of the records a lot of the witnesses are outside the stuff that stuff is not

00:31:43.080 easy to run down um it with the um the questioning of by the senate of tony bobulinski um do you think

00:31:52.900 we'll see any criminal charges for biden without direct evidence that he was uh personally receiving

00:31:59.980 some of the money i mean is it enough to go on the email that says hey 10 needs to be held for my dad

00:32:06.800 or i'm sorry for the big guy when you have bobulinski saying you know he was the big guy that's

00:32:12.940 joe biden uh to me that's not enough evidence to to bring a charge uh but it's enough evidence to

00:32:21.280 build a case on and i and i think what you would want is to see is this is this a one-off which might

00:32:28.780 make it very tough to prosecute or is it uh a pattern of behavior that you can that you can prove

00:32:36.540 and the other thing to bear in mind about this is that the supreme court has made

00:32:40.700 these corruption cases very difficult to prosecute since the mcdonald decision about three or four

00:32:47.920 years back involving the governor of virginia you almost have to have strong bribery type evidence of

00:32:56.160 a of a clear quid pro quo and part of the reason this is all going to be difficult is for a lot of

00:33:03.360 this stuff i think that that sort of smoking gun uh text message or email that we're talking about

00:33:09.780 my recollection is that biden wasn't in office at the time i think that was uh i think that was

00:33:14.960 2017 um so you know they may have a obviously it stinks to high heaven and it's it's uh obvious

00:33:24.060 corruption in a in a common sense kind of way but in terms of is this a prime a crime that you could

00:33:31.500 prove in court where you can prove a quid pro quo beyond a reasonable doubt under circumstances where

00:33:38.100 you're dealing with all these different uh entities and people will come in and say well you know

00:33:43.320 hunter biden was a really bright guy that was why we wanted him on our board you know you have to you

00:33:48.960 have to you have to make sure you have evidence to overcome all that i wanted to get you on um to

00:33:54.220 talk to you about the the the whole smell of this hunter biden thing and and there's another stench

00:34:01.920 that is coming up and that is the fact that this is really kind of becoming dangerous to talk about

00:34:07.340 twitter and facebook shut down the new york post social media making it hard for anyone else

00:34:13.160 and not only on this story but anything they deem damaging to their chosen candidate what are your

00:34:18.820 thoughts on this well i'm as astonished as you are glenn by by how blatant it is right it's been

00:34:27.880 obvious for a long time to conservatives yeah but i i just think that uh it's a broad shot of

00:34:36.620 conservatives and the uh the sort of camouflage of it is trump so you know for a long time they've

00:34:43.620 taken the position that trump is such an unusual president and he was elected under such unusual

00:34:50.640 circumstances you know losing the popular vote by as much as he did yet uh eking out a victory in the

00:34:56.680 electoral college but the story is that he's illegitimate and they have used that as a uh

00:35:05.740 basically a rationale to treat him differently than any president has ever been treated and now it's

00:35:15.120 kind of bled over i think to treating people in his in his camp or perceived to be in his camp

00:35:23.420 and in particular any stories that might help him get elected um are looked at with the same

00:35:31.640 taint of illegitimacy that they have basically tried to bake for uh four years and now that we're down

00:35:38.120 to the short strokes it's really become embarrassingly blatant that they are politically in the tank for

00:35:47.000 this guy this is not like a media thing this is an adjunct to a to a partisan political effort

00:35:52.940 um it's it's quite amazing because we fight the uh censors all the time they have suppressed us

00:35:59.780 recently i did a story on uh the ancestors of of uh hunter bite i'm sorry of joe biden owning slaves

00:36:09.000 we had one of the best um researchers and researcher firm of genealogy in the country do the report

00:36:17.700 they gave it to us and it was all clear all buttoned up but it still took us days and days

00:36:23.500 while they were suppressing us they by the way we just got a letter last night saying oh joe guess

00:36:29.480 you're right but they suppressed us uh and suppressed that story yeah i i think it's even um it's more

00:36:37.680 insidious than that glenn i've had the experience now three times in the last several days where i sat down

00:36:45.820 uh and went through twitter and tried to retweet a couple of things something that we had an editorial

00:36:52.700 we had put out at national review about the hunter biden stuff uh a report by a terrific reporter named

00:36:59.880 jerry dunleavy at the washington examiner on some of the same information and one other story i can't

00:37:06.160 remember what it was off the top of my head but as soon as you try to retweet it they put a little sign

00:37:11.500 up that says wouldn't you like to read this first um like you know i mean they have no way of knowing

00:37:18.000 whether you have or you haven't but i bet you they don't do that for i know they don't do it yeah

00:37:22.120 no story because yeah so um i i just think it's creepy um how how this is how this has happened uh

00:37:33.660 not just their tactics but the fact that they they don't seem to be ashamed or embarrassed in any way

00:37:41.740 at how obvious it is that they're putting their thumb on the scale for one partisan side so what do

00:37:47.400 you see any happening if joe biden wins and the democrats win i mean you know i think even the

00:37:54.580 republicans have lost their nerve some of them not all of them but some of them lost their nerve going up

00:38:01.040 against these guys uh and they will they will you know only a few republicans are actually

00:38:06.360 threatening to do something the republicans that did threaten to do something say we're subpoena we're

00:38:12.400 bringing a subpoena against these guys you come to congress now the other republicans wussed out and

00:38:18.240 said well we'll wait until after the election yeah i'm worried glenn that they will join with uh that

00:38:26.640 you'll get elements on the right and elements of the left that'll come together and do something

00:38:30.960 that'll be bad for the country i mean we have a situation here that obviously needs to be

00:38:37.640 addressed but i think it can be addressed by amending uh the the provision that controls all

00:38:45.900 those who are supposed to section 230 in a way that takes ambiguity out and makes it clear that if

00:38:52.300 you're going to engage in content editorializing you know any way that you you're going to shape content

00:38:59.420 if you're going to let stuff go from one side but not the other side then you should be treated like

00:39:04.280 a publisher and that doesn't mean that you're doing anything that's illegal you're allowed to be a

00:39:09.500 left-wing website if that's what you want to be but that's what you are and if you want to have the

00:39:14.360 status of an internet uh media platform that it in a uh an even-handed way just transmits information

00:39:24.440 so that you can get uh immunity from lawsuits then you can't editorialize by content you think to me

00:39:32.840 that would be the easiest way to do it the best line in one of your one of your write-ups was immunity

00:39:37.640 is a benefit lack of immunity is not a punishment yeah right um and i i think we need to see it that

00:39:45.200 way what i'm afraid of is that these guys are going to get together and have a a government board

00:39:50.300 oh yeah oversee oh yeah uh how these uh these outfits operate and that's a disaster for everyone

00:39:57.020 yeah that is uh what what let me ask you why is that a disaster

00:40:01.300 well because we'd have the that's exactly what we have a first amendment not to allow which is the

00:40:08.600 government uh to shape content and to shape our political discussions and to decide what is and

00:40:15.880 isn't appropriate political discussion it's terrifying what we're facing uh we'll find out which direction

00:40:22.340 the country chooses uh in uh eight days from now andy thank you so much uh we'll check in again with

00:40:28.700 you my friend

00:40:29.200 you

00:40:29.700 you
