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

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
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
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
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
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
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
00:24:16.260
also theblaze.com don't miss it it is it's the full edition of this week's time magazine
00:24:33.780
andy mccarthy is a contributing editor at the national review senior fellow at the national review
00:24:48.780
institute and former chief assistant u.s attorney uh he has written a uh an article that i think is
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
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
