The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Peter Schweizer & John Solomon ｜ 4⧸4⧸19

00:00:00.000 Hello, podcasters. Today is a today's a great show. We are we are putting a special together next week on Joe Biden.

00:00:10.180 And while everybody's talking about how handsy is, I want to talk about how handsy his son is in a story that almost no one knows.

00:00:19.360 We are talking to the experts and we're going to put it all together for you next week.

00:00:24.520 I believe it's a week from today, week from Thursday, that you will hear all of the evidence against Joe Biden and his son.

00:00:32.240 There's some pretty stunning stuff. We had Peter Schweizer on about it.

00:00:35.520 And John Solomon, a guy who reported for the for the Associated Press in The Washington Post for over 20 years.

00:00:43.140 Now saying, no, no, no, he's an opinion guy. No, he's not. No, he's not.

00:00:47.620 Well, he's pointing out things that are not based on opinion. That's for sure.

00:00:50.240 Yeah, he's pointing out facts. And by the way, we're going to go through all this, as you pointed out, next week on the TV show.

00:00:54.940 This is a great time to join up with Blaze TV.

00:01:38.480 Also, it's Helium Thursday. We found something that we, I mean, fit Helium perfectly.

00:01:48.640 Louis Farrakhan. And who's the biggest fraud candidate? All this and more on today's podcast.

00:02:01.480 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:02:08.480 Okay. So while everybody is concentrating on Joe Biden and he's, well, would you call it an apology, Stu?

00:02:19.840 I mean, no, I wouldn't say it was an apology. I mean, first of all, he didn't say you're sorry, not required in an apology, by the way.

00:02:27.140 But, you know, it's an expression of regret. So I think you could get, there's some level of apology in there.

00:02:32.720 Uh, however, it's more of, you know, look, you guys changed the rules and I now realize you've changed the rules and I will change to reflect that.

00:02:43.300 Uh, we actually have the rules. Wait, what rules?

00:02:46.560 I mean, unless you're interaction, I guess.

00:02:48.560 Uh, no, the rules have never been like that. I mean, unless you're John Wayne Gacy. I mean, really, seriously, what are the rules?

00:02:54.920 That, that's like, those are like, I think that guy's a pedophile. In 1965, you know, to 2025, that's pretty clear.

00:03:05.240 Well, I mean, I don't know if that's actually true. I will say that, you know, there's been a lot of study on who is offended by such things, such creepy Joe Biden actions over the past couple of weeks.

00:03:17.540 And it seems to me to be largely some sort of generational gap in which they, everyone who seems to be interviewed and who's a Democrat and is, you know, campaigned with Joe Biden or been at rallies with him, the, the older generation seems to really like it.

00:03:35.800 And, uh, you know, like there's people, one of the women who came out now, there's seven, by the way, who've come out and said, Hey, Joe Biden made me feel uncomfortable.

00:03:43.460 One of the women specifically said, after it happened, everyone started coming up to me and saying, Oh, you're so lucky.

00:03:50.200 And I thought to myself, wow, should I think of myself as lucky and not offended, which I don't even understand.

00:03:56.320 I don't even understand the thought process that goes into that. I mean, if you felt creepy, creeped out about it, why are you second guessing and thinking you might be lucky?

00:04:03.940 Uh, I don't understand it. But the point there is that everyone around her did not seem like it was offended to the fact that she's got a bunch of attention from the vice president of the United States.

00:04:14.140 People were thinking it was kind of great. And the funny thing about this is, and I think it's very central to this whole incident.

00:04:20.860 The first thing you have to remember is absolutely no one on the democratic side actually cares about any of this.

00:04:27.840 Nope. Not one little bit. None of them think it's bad. None of them care.

00:04:32.560 Including, I would say the women who actually are coming forward. Now, yes, they may have been offended, but watch how little they care about those incidents.

00:04:41.820 If he wins the nomination, they'll all be out there being like, you know what? I mean, it did make me feel upset at the time, but I think he's changed.

00:04:49.080 And I honestly, he's a really good guy. I've learned over the past few months about what a great guy this guy is.

00:04:53.900 And I support him. And that's why I'm campaigning for him.

00:04:56.960 The timing of this coming out is just ridiculous. It's ridiculous. 0.99

00:05:00.500 It's ridiculous. This has been an issue for a very long time. We've talked about it before. 0.98

00:05:05.160 This is solely an issue being used for politics because at this very moment, they think they can get someone who's more socialist than him to be president.

00:05:14.380 If they believe the two choices are Joe Biden and Donald Trump, the most socialist person they're going to be able to find is Joe Biden.

00:05:22.100 And then they will love him and they will only be critical of whatever they think Donald Trump did.

00:05:26.200 And they will hammer anyone who comes out against him.

00:05:30.240 Of course. I mean, it's so transparent. So it's hard to take any of this seriously.

00:05:34.680 But here's the here's the sort of underlying issue here for Biden when it comes to the story.

00:05:43.800 Joe Biden's strength as a campaigner is very closely related to what we're calling creepy, which is he comes out.

00:05:52.680 He shakes everybody's hands. He gives everybody hugs.

00:05:55.680 He doesn't put his hands on the shoulder of everybody.

00:05:59.080 He doesn't kiss everybody's head, but he doesn't do it if it's a man or a boy.

00:06:02.440 No, he says he does do it sometimes as a man with a man.

00:06:05.400 He says that in a state. He's come up to a man and smell the back of his head.

00:06:09.180 He does allude to that. He doesn't specifically say it.

00:06:13.160 I've never seen that more. It's possible. I'd like to see the video.

00:06:16.380 But if you're Joe Biden and your strength is walking around some Iowa firehouse and shaking hands and kissing babies,

00:06:25.320 which is what everyone used to call it. I don't think you could call it that anymore.

00:06:28.180 If he can no longer do that, because if he has one moment that looks creepy, it's going to be a national news story every time now.

00:06:37.460 So you've taken his strength away from him for this entire primary, which, of course, is the secondary part of this.

00:06:44.860 Number one is get him out of the race. Hopefully this turns into a big thing so we can win because we're socialists.

00:06:49.280 Number two is if he's going to be in the race, at least the things that give him an advantage over us, we're going to be able to take away.

00:06:57.060 I feel somewhat like remember that scene with the with the emperor where Luke has all this, you know, gusto like, oh, yeah, my friends are coming.

00:07:08.340 And the emperor just goes, oh, you think that your friends will save you?

00:07:13.940 It's kind of it's kind of like that. It's kind of like, oh, at least we got Biden.

00:07:19.480 Oh, you think that Biden will save you?

00:07:23.780 He will not. He will not. He's going to try, though.

00:07:26.920 And Jolton Joe had a statement that came out yesterday.

00:07:30.620 And this is it was made on a phone. So the audio is not fantastic.

00:07:35.440 But we let's listen to it and we can translate if needed.

00:07:38.440 In my career, I've always tried to make a human connection.

00:07:41.880 That's my responsibility, I think. I shake hands.

00:07:44.580 I hug people. I grab men and women by the shoulders and say, you can do this.

00:07:49.500 And whether they're women, men, young, old, it's the way I've always been.

00:07:54.600 It's the way I've tried to show I care about them and I'm listening.

00:07:58.160 And over the years, knowing what I've been through, the things that I've faced,

00:08:01.920 I've found that scores, if not hundreds of people, have come up to me and reached out for solace and comfort.

00:08:08.660 Something, something, anything that may help them get through the tragedy they're going through.

00:08:13.980 And and and so it's just just who I am.

00:08:18.560 Social norms have begun to change.

00:08:20.500 They've shifted and the boundaries of protecting personal space have been reset.

00:08:25.580 And I get it. I get it.

00:08:28.040 I hear what they're saying.

00:08:29.300 I understand it and I'll be much more mindful.

00:08:32.600 That's my responsibility, my responsibility, and I'll meet it.

00:08:37.100 But I always believe governing, quite frankly, life for that matter, is about connecting, about connecting with people.

00:08:44.880 I've worked my whole life to empower women. 1.00

00:08:47.960 I've worked my whole life to prevent abuse.

00:08:50.460 I've written.

00:08:50.800 And so the idea that I can't adjust to the fact that personal space is important, more important than it's ever been, is it's just not thinkable.

00:09:02.160 I will.

00:09:03.260 Where's his good wife, Jill, on this? 0.99

00:09:06.900 His beautiful, lovely, talented, good wife, Jill.

00:09:10.020 I mean, that would help a lot.

00:09:14.220 And because he always talks about Jill and and quite honestly, if I were doing these videos, you know, and I had been hugging people and you saw these kids like, oh, this is creepy.

00:09:26.320 My wife would say to me, would you stop doing that? 0.99

00:09:30.980 Oh, honey, I just love it.

00:09:32.340 I just love these kids.

00:09:33.240 I know.

00:09:33.640 But it looks creepy.

00:09:35.200 Stop it.

00:09:36.100 Stop it.

00:09:36.640 I know.

00:09:37.080 I know.

00:09:37.480 You've got love in your heart and everything else.

00:09:39.040 But stop it.

00:09:39.960 Yeah.

00:09:40.060 She's never said that to him.

00:09:43.040 And and where is she just going, you know, not just stepping up and just going, you know what?

00:09:48.500 My husband is like this.

00:09:49.840 I've talked to him about it before.

00:09:51.520 He's just like this.

00:09:52.900 But he is a loving guy.

00:09:54.540 You know how much ground he could get?

00:09:56.440 He could shut it down.

00:09:57.940 Where is his good wife, Jill? 0.97

00:10:01.580 Maybe maybe he doesn't ever want to include her in this because, you know, whatever.

00:10:05.620 But it just seems strange because I know my wife, your life would, too.

00:10:10.760 Lisa would, too.

00:10:11.780 If you were seen in these videos, because you watch these videos and a lot of them are very uncomfortable.

00:10:17.380 And you watch them.

00:10:18.680 And if you knew, I mean, Lisa knows you.

00:10:21.180 You're not a creepy predator.

00:10:23.600 But if you were trying not to be right, if you were acting like a creepy, if you were acting like Joe does.

00:10:28.460 Yes.

00:10:29.060 She would see that.

00:10:29.920 And what would she say?

00:10:31.400 Hey, I mean, she'd probably be delicate about it.

00:10:33.860 But try to tell me, stop doing that immediately.

00:10:37.700 Yeah, that's really good.

00:10:38.540 That's not.

00:10:39.000 It doesn't.

00:10:39.800 People are creeping out.

00:10:41.020 It's weird.

00:10:41.480 Stop it.

00:10:41.940 I know you don't mean anything by it.

00:10:43.360 But, you know, be careful with people's personal space.

00:10:47.280 Right?

00:10:47.560 I mean, that's.

00:10:48.300 Now, look, that may have happened.

00:10:50.700 We don't know.

00:10:51.340 It may have happened multiple times.

00:10:52.440 But that's what you can say.

00:10:53.240 Look, I've said this to Joe.

00:10:55.280 He's not like that.

00:10:56.600 He's not like that.

00:10:57.460 He doesn't even see it that way.

00:10:58.760 He really believes in connecting with people.

00:11:01.200 But I see it.

00:11:02.000 I know what you're saying.

00:11:03.140 I know what you're saying.

00:11:03.860 I see it.

00:11:04.440 But I know my husband as well.

00:11:06.200 I mean, it could very well be.

00:11:07.140 Remember, they're not even in the campaign yet.

00:11:09.500 You know, I mean, it could very well be that they're holding that back as a as a future defense.

00:11:14.120 I don't know if you saw this.

00:11:34.440 Pat Gray joins us.

00:11:35.440 I mean, it could very well be that they're holding that back as a future defense.

00:11:36.800 I mean, it could very well be that they're holding that back as a future defense.

00:11:37.920 I mean, it could very well be that they're holding that back as a future defense.

00:11:41.500 He said yesterday, God does not love this world.

00:11:46.660 Now, that's news to me.

00:11:48.100 Hmm.

00:11:48.260 God never sent Jesus to die for this world.

00:11:52.480 Jesus died because he was 2000 years too soon to bring about the end of civilization of the Jews. 0.98

00:12:01.980 Wow.

00:12:02.660 He was never on no cross.

00:12:05.600 There was no Calvary for that Jesus.

00:12:08.920 Imagine.

00:12:10.100 He's offended.

00:12:10.980 He's offended everybody except the people who follow him here.

00:12:15.400 Here's the here's the audio.

00:12:17.300 God does not love this world.

00:12:22.340 God never sent Jesus to die for this world.

00:12:30.620 Jesus died because he was 2000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. 0.97

00:12:44.560 Stop for a second.

00:12:45.440 Wait, what?

00:12:46.160 This is that's incredible.

00:12:47.840 Wow.

00:12:48.040 Don't even.

00:12:48.600 Oh, my gosh.

00:12:49.000 Wait a minute.

00:12:49.300 Wait a minute.

00:12:49.620 Wait a minute.

00:12:50.360 What?

00:12:50.980 It's Helium Thursday.

00:12:53.140 That's true.

00:12:53.600 Why are we doing this?

00:12:55.580 Sarah.

00:12:56.680 Yes.

00:12:56.940 Can you can you make Louis Farrakhan sound like he's on Helium?

00:13:04.100 I think I can do that.

00:13:06.160 Okay.

00:13:07.060 Oh, here I am.

00:13:09.200 Wait, hold on.

00:13:10.120 Okay.

00:13:10.860 All right.

00:13:11.740 Ladies and gentlemen, the Glenn Beck program presents Helium Thursdays with

00:13:16.140 today's special guest, Louis Farrakhan.

00:13:18.820 God does not love this world.

00:13:23.780 God never sent Jesus to die for this world.

00:13:30.220 Jesus died because he was 2000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. 0.97

00:13:44.860 It makes it a little more palatable, doesn't it?

00:13:47.620 It does.

00:13:48.300 It really does.

00:13:49.320 Wait a minute.

00:13:50.140 Who else could we do this to?

00:13:53.400 Play the.

00:13:54.100 There was no Calvary.

00:13:55.660 Stop.

00:13:56.240 Stop.

00:13:56.380 Stop.

00:13:57.960 Play the Joe Biden apology thing from yesterday.

00:14:00.760 Oh, okay.

00:14:02.160 In my career, I'm always trying to make a human connection.

00:14:05.080 That's my responsibility, I think.

00:14:06.900 I shake hands.

00:14:07.760 I help people.

00:14:08.240 No, no.

00:14:08.620 That doesn't work.

00:14:09.280 That doesn't work.

00:14:10.360 Yeah.

00:14:10.580 What other audio do we have from this week?

00:14:15.940 Let's see.

00:14:16.620 Is there anything in here?

00:14:17.720 Anything else?

00:14:19.300 Alyssa Milano's too.

00:14:20.540 You can't really hear the Alyssa Milano one too well.

00:14:22.540 Is there, what was from, let's see, how about the green, the green real deal?

00:14:32.200 Is that, no.

00:14:33.600 How about Julian Castro?

00:14:35.620 He's talking about the border crisis is BS.

00:14:38.140 Okay, go ahead.

00:14:38.520 Let's see what he sounds like on Helium.

00:14:39.820 The feeling from this administration is that we are in a full-blown crisis and that they are overwhelmed by it.

00:14:44.900 How do you think that?

00:14:46.240 I don't believe their narrative.

00:14:47.560 I don't believe the BS that women and children who are fleeing dangerous circumstances present a national security threat to this country.

00:14:58.660 We should put all of Congress on Helium.

00:15:01.800 We should.

00:15:01.940 And then you could just, it doesn't matter what they say.

00:15:03.620 It doesn't matter.

00:15:04.460 The pro rating would definitely go up from, what is it, like 14%.

00:15:07.240 Hey, how about the five days away from fundamental transformation?

00:15:11.740 Can you get that for me?

00:15:13.660 The Barack Obama clip from 2008?

00:15:15.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:15:15.680 It wouldn't have been so scary if he would have sounded like he was on Helium.

00:15:21.140 Do you have it, Sarah?

00:15:23.220 We played it, we played it yesterday and you can find even the Barack knows.

00:15:30.840 Barack knows what we're going to have to do is change our traditions.

00:15:33.860 We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.

00:15:39.760 I mean, really, it's just Louis Farrakhan.

00:15:42.000 I don't know.

00:15:42.260 I think we should just be playing Louis Farrakhan.

00:15:43.540 I don't know that any of these other ones work.

00:15:45.220 It should just be Louis Farrakhan, Helium Thursday.

00:15:48.960 How about the View hosts?

00:15:51.640 From yesterday?

00:15:52.600 Yeah, give me something from the View.

00:15:54.320 It might be just Louis Farrakhan.

00:15:55.640 Joe has a hands-on Connie guy.

00:15:57.340 Yeah, but no one, I've never heard anyone, and she says she felt violated, and I have to

00:16:04.400 take her out of word, but it wouldn't be nice if she had turned to him and said,

00:16:08.080 you know what, Jay, I don't really like this.

00:16:10.700 Please don't do this.

00:16:11.960 Or, Mr. Vice President, I'm not really comfortable with that.

00:16:14.820 Something, because he's standing right there.

00:16:16.980 I don't think it rises to the point that we've been listening to about how we want to see

00:16:21.500 and the rest of these people.

00:16:22.580 It just doesn't look like that.

00:16:23.580 When you're looking at Joy Behar and you're hearing that voice, it's pretty good.

00:16:28.600 It's a much better voice than her normal speaking voice.

00:16:29.780 It's a little closer to her actual name of Joy, you know.

00:16:34.000 Play the Louis Farrakhan one more time.

00:16:37.460 God does not love this world.

00:16:42.440 God never sent Jesus to die for this world.

00:16:48.220 Jesus died because he was 2,000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. 0.96

00:17:04.780 I do love that.

00:17:06.320 That's right.

00:17:07.040 Preach on.

00:17:07.780 He never was on no cross.

00:17:11.760 There was no Calvary for that Jesus.

00:17:14.900 Early one Saturday morning, our Savior taught us.

00:17:23.040 When he found out he was 2,000 years too soon to end the civilization of the Jews,

00:17:30.520 he decided that he would give his life for the truth that he taught,

00:17:36.900 that his name would live.

00:17:40.400 What on earth?

00:17:41.460 That is some weird stuff.

00:17:42.480 I can't even know.

00:17:42.860 But better on helium.

00:17:44.120 Better on helium.

00:17:44.640 Way better on helium.

00:17:46.220 I like the fact at some point when he goes,

00:17:47.740 when he's 2,000 years too soon and there's that pause and there's people in the crowd going,

00:17:51.620 yeah, that's right.

00:17:52.320 Do they know where he's going?

00:17:53.920 Because I had no idea where he was going on that.

00:17:57.060 I don't think those speeches are for rookies.

00:18:00.540 I mean, I don't think you have usual people like you, me,

00:18:05.420 or Bill from Ohio that's just kind of sitting in there like,

00:18:08.700 I didn't see that coming.

00:18:10.000 I had no idea.

00:18:11.380 It was a thrill ride.

00:18:12.520 The whole speech was a thrill, a roller coaster of emotions.

00:18:16.840 As someone who attended Yale's Divinity School,

00:18:21.280 did, like, what is he even saying?

00:18:24.260 He's saying that Jesus showed up, I didn't know,

00:18:27.740 he was 2,000 years too soon to end the civilization of the Jews, 0.92

00:18:30.980 which was his real goal. 0.64

00:18:32.080 And so he decided instead to kill himself, basically, 0.97

00:18:37.000 not on the cross, somewhere else, 0.97

00:18:38.480 to say that his name would live on so that eventually we would end the civilization of the Jews. 0.98

00:18:45.020 So I can't speak for the Yale Divinity School because I did not go to the Yale Divinity School.

00:18:50.600 I thought you did.

00:18:51.080 No, no, no, I intentionally went and took it through history.

00:18:54.060 I wanted to learn the historic part of it, not the Divinity School's, you know, smoke and jive on it.

00:19:03.020 I wanted to hear from a, you know, a professor of history that, of course, had no smoke, no jive.

00:19:08.800 No, no, all facts.

00:19:10.260 All facts.

00:19:10.880 But anyway, I think, if I may, I'm having a hard time even figuring out where he might find that in any scripture.

00:19:22.660 Yeah.

00:19:23.020 That Jew was, I mean, I don't, I mean, the scriptures of Bob. 1.00

00:19:26.580 Right.

00:19:26.760 Bob, the apostle on the bench, you know, he was like, if Peter is sick or whatever, he's like, I don't know, get Bob.

00:19:38.000 The backup, the alternate.

00:19:39.260 He's the alternate apostle.

00:19:41.140 Even, I think, Bob, the alternate apostle, I don't even think you could find anything close to that there.

00:19:48.180 Yeah, that one's, I can't, because I can't even follow it.

00:19:52.040 Do you know, Pat?

00:19:52.680 No, I don't.

00:19:53.900 I'm not sure.

00:19:54.780 I'm trying to follow, I'm trying to follow even who wants to believe in a God that doesn't love the world.

00:20:04.020 And doesn't that go against even the Koran? 0.83

00:20:06.040 I think, don't they believe Allah does love the world?

00:20:09.340 Or maybe not, huh?

00:20:11.660 So.

00:20:13.040 I don't know.

00:20:14.660 Because I don't know any scripture where it says God does not love the world.

00:20:18.320 In fact, that God so loved the world that he said his only begotten son.

00:20:23.180 Yeah.

00:20:23.800 Uh-huh.

00:20:25.080 Yeah.

00:20:26.140 That's a minor kink in the hose there. 0.71

00:20:30.200 Yeah, it is.

00:20:31.960 But you know what's amazing?

00:20:33.980 Can you imagine?

00:20:36.580 I had people taking full-page ads out in the New York Times saying that I was an anti-Semite and I had to be stopped.

00:20:43.560 Okay, remember that?

00:20:44.400 Yeah.

00:20:44.980 Okay.

00:20:45.460 Yeah.

00:20:47.000 He still has his Twitter feed.

00:20:49.560 Nobody's even saying anything about this.

00:20:50.500 That's what's incredible.

00:20:51.780 That's incredible.

00:20:52.240 Nobody is saying anything.

00:20:53.080 Can you imagine if I would have got up and said, you know, Jesus, he failed in his mission.

00:20:58.880 He was sent to wipe out the Jews and he couldn't do it. 0.99

00:21:02.720 So he decided, kill me or I'm going to kill myself. 1.00

00:21:06.320 I mean, that's basically what he's saying. 0.97

00:21:08.480 Can you imagine saying that?

00:21:10.560 Yeah.

00:21:10.940 Any other person saying that?

00:21:13.580 And it's okay.

00:21:14.280 And it's okay.

00:21:15.180 I'm surprised too.

00:21:16.220 Like, you know, because Twitter has obviously banned a bunch of conservatives over the years.

00:21:20.160 They've had, this is the talking point of every conservative every time it happens.

00:21:24.220 At some point, you'd think they'd just be like, all right, just take it off so we don't have to hear that point again.

00:21:28.480 I mean, it's Alex Jones.

00:21:30.840 Yeah.

00:21:31.240 You say Alex Jones is horrible.

00:21:32.920 Okay, I agree with you.

00:21:34.140 I don't think he should be taken off, but you did.

00:21:36.480 Has he ever said anything worse than that?

00:21:37.900 I don't think so. 0.99

00:21:39.160 Well, I mean, he's saying the Jews should be wiped out now. 0.98

00:21:44.600 Yeah, and he's also saying that our government is killing children in schoolhouses, you know, to take away our guns. 0.99

00:21:51.440 I mean, it's.

00:21:51.920 Yeah.

00:21:52.240 I mean.

00:21:52.880 But he's not calling for the extermination of an entire people.

00:21:55.840 That's true.

00:21:56.660 No, that's pretty bad.

00:21:58.120 Very good.

00:21:58.560 Very good.

00:21:59.280 Very good.

00:21:59.820 Only been a few that really have done that.

00:22:01.860 Yeah.

00:22:02.680 You know their names.

00:22:04.000 Yeah.

00:22:04.440 Yeah.

00:22:05.340 One of them was not Bob, the alternative apostle.

00:22:08.300 No, but we do know them usually only by one name.

00:22:11.020 Serial killers get all three names.

00:22:13.000 Serial killers, you know what I mean?

00:22:15.040 Genocidal maniacs get one. 0.97

00:22:16.720 Get one. 1.00

00:22:17.440 Stalin. 0.56

00:22:18.180 Mao.

00:22:18.820 Right.

00:22:19.160 Adolf.

00:22:19.720 Ted.

00:22:20.880 Ted.

00:22:21.940 I mean, you get one name.

00:22:24.940 You graduate, I think, Louie.

00:22:28.040 I think he's graduated.

00:22:29.900 Farrakhan.

00:22:31.240 Or Louie.

00:22:32.500 Well, Louie's not so scary.

00:22:34.220 Doesn't sound very scary.

00:22:35.340 No, it's not.

00:22:35.680 I mean, Farrakhan is just him at this point.

00:22:37.780 I mean, if your last name is Farrakhan, you've got to be considering a change at this point.

00:22:43.440 Because my wife is on the radio, as you guys know, and her name is Lisa Page on the air.

00:22:49.400 And ever since this scandal started happening with the FBI, and there's a woman named Lisa Page who's in the middle of this thing texting back and forth about how to ruin the Trump administration from the inside. 0.99

00:23:01.840 And I told her at one point, I'm like, there is a scenario here where this story gets so big, you have to abandon your name.

00:23:08.400 Like, this is not.

00:23:09.380 You can't be.

00:23:10.040 If her name was Monica Lewinsky, she would have had to have changed her air name. 0.99

00:23:14.220 Right.

00:23:14.520 And I think if your last name is Farrakhan at this point, just, you know, you just go to Smith.

00:23:19.900 You just go to a bag and just pull the trigger.

00:23:22.300 You know that there were Hitlers around the world that had nothing to do. 0.81

00:23:26.440 Mine had been so anti-Hitler, and they were like, oh, jeez.

00:23:29.780 Yeah, like Steve Hitler. 0.81

00:23:31.740 He's really great.

00:23:32.840 Steve Miller, he's like, oh, come on, man.

00:23:35.500 I love the Jews.

00:23:36.580 They're fantastic.

00:23:37.920 At least he's, I mean, honey, honey, honey, honey.

00:23:41.080 I know you married into the name, at least, but it could be worse.

00:23:43.900 He could be gassing kids and people.

00:23:46.700 Wait, what?

00:23:47.380 Wait, hold it.

00:23:48.300 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:23:49.200 Jeez, man.

00:23:53.380 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:23:59.780 Peter Schweitzer, he is the producer of The Creepy Line, which is a movie everyone needs to see.

00:24:14.120 He is also the author of Secret Empires, which has come out in paperback.

00:24:18.480 And, Peter, I didn't think we would have you on the air so quickly,

00:24:22.500 but there is another piece of the story you started telling us last week that has dropped,

00:24:27.820 and we'll get into that.

00:24:28.720 First, welcome to the show.

00:24:30.440 And can you tell us why you say that Joe Biden is the most corrupt vice president in history?

00:24:39.580 Well, it's always great to be on with you, Glenn.

00:24:41.220 Yeah, I think the evidence is overwhelming.

00:24:43.520 And all you have to do is look at his son's financial transactions

00:24:48.580 and specifically financial accounts that he's tied to.

00:24:52.980 And, Glenn, I'd be happy to provide a copy of this for you, and you could share it with your listeners.

00:25:00.200 But all you need to do is look at the financial records from the Morgan Stanley account that involves his son,

00:25:07.080 Hunter Biden.

00:25:07.980 And what it shows is while his father was vice president, his son is cashing in.

00:25:12.880 He's cashing in with our rivals and adversaries, the Chinese government. 0.95

00:25:16.700 He's cashing in with other countries that are rife with corruption like Ukraine. 0.92

00:25:22.340 He's cashing in with payments from corrupt oligarchs in Kazakhstan,

00:25:27.340 the one involving the son of the former prime minister there.

00:25:30.280 And he's cashing in from unknown, mysterious sources.

00:25:35.620 This bank account shows a deposit of $1.2 million from this sort of alphabet LLC that nobody can trace

00:25:45.560 coming out of a small Swiss bank called BSI, which has been implicated in money laundering in 10 different countries.

00:25:54.260 And this is all happening, Glenn, while Joe Biden, according to Barack Obama, was vice president,

00:26:02.760 was point person on U.S. policy towards these countries.

00:26:07.820 So it's self-enrichment at the highest level, and it involves, in the case of the Chinese government,

00:26:14.380 actually a political powerful rival to us that I would argue presents a much bigger challenge to our future than Russia does. 0.99

00:26:22.580 Russia is a declining power demographically and in terms of its, you know, industrial might.

00:26:29.500 China is rising and threatening the United States, and Hunter Biden was cashing in from the Chinese government itself.

00:26:37.640 Okay, so the reason why one of the guys who was investigated during this Trump thing,

00:26:42.640 the reason why he went to jail is because he was involved in Ukrainian politics,

00:26:46.880 and Ukrainian politics is really dirty, lots of people on the take, lots of people on the take from Russia,

00:26:54.660 and he wasn't claiming any of this money.

00:26:57.700 What's happening now, and I don't, do you know John Solomon?

00:27:00.880 Yes, I do.

00:27:01.640 I know John well.

00:27:02.640 John is a terrific reporter.

00:27:04.380 He was at the Associated Press, the Washington Post.

00:27:06.800 He's now at the Hill.

00:27:08.000 He's terrific, and I talk to him all the time.

00:27:10.280 He's very, very good.

00:27:11.180 All right, so he, like you said, worked for the Washington Post, the Associated Press.

00:27:16.300 He, when he went over, he's the executive vice president at the Hill.

00:27:19.840 For him to publish, because of the Clinton camp, they put the pressure on the Hill

00:27:28.180 to make sure that all of his stories are opinion and not filed as stories.

00:27:34.960 Can you tell me?

00:27:35.720 Well, it's remarkable.

00:27:37.280 I don't know the full ins and outs, and John is not one that would, you know,

00:27:41.100 that would share anything like that with me.

00:27:43.100 But what is very clear is that John does amazing reporting.

00:27:48.560 And on Ukraine, Glenn, what he has shown quite clearly is the prosecutor general in Ukraine

00:27:56.080 during the tenure when Joe Biden was vice president was a guy named Shokin.

00:28:00.720 And Joe Biden bragged after he left the vice presidency that he got Shokin fired. 0.98

00:28:07.060 Do you know anything about Shokin?

00:28:08.480 I'm going to play the audio here in a second.

00:28:10.200 But I want you to set the scene.

00:28:11.780 Who is this guy?

00:28:13.120 What do you know about him?

00:28:14.780 What do you know he was working on?

00:28:17.280 So Shokin was a prosecutor general, and as in the case in a lot of situation in Ukraine,

00:28:23.260 you know, you don't quite know who is straight and who is on the take.

00:28:27.120 But Shokin was appointed by the reformist government, by Poroshenko, who Biden was friends with.

00:28:34.320 Biden claimed publicly that he didn't like Shokin because Shokin was not investigating

00:28:40.100 and pursuing corruption cases enough.

00:28:43.420 And so he brags about getting him fired.

00:28:46.060 What Joe Biden doesn't say is that Shokin was investigating his son at the time.

00:28:52.720 And this is where it takes an interesting twist, Glenn.

00:28:55.320 So Shokin does get fired because Joe Biden tells Poroshenko, the president of Ukraine,

00:29:01.620 I'm going to withhold a billion dollars in loan guarantees unless you fire Shokin. 1.00

00:29:06.900 And then his successor gets appointed, a guy named Lushenko.

00:29:11.700 And Joe Biden gives Lushenko his imprint and says this guy is a solid choice.

00:29:17.580 Here's the problem for Joe Biden.

00:29:19.140 Lushenko is now saying he wants to reopen the investigation into Joe Biden's son.

00:29:27.060 So this was not.

00:29:28.620 So hang on just a second.

00:29:30.300 This was not an investigation into the company that he had ties to.

00:29:35.480 This was an investigation on Joe Biden's son.

00:29:38.700 Yes, it was on both.

00:29:40.800 It was on both.

00:29:41.860 And here's what's important to know.

00:29:43.520 And I know this is very complicated and there are lots of names.

00:29:46.520 The company in question is called Burisma.

00:29:49.420 And it was this sort of energy company in Ukraine.

00:29:53.160 Well, Burisma was started by, as can only happen in the Ukraine,

00:29:57.400 was started by the minister for energy at the time, Zlochevsky.

00:30:01.940 Zlochevsky was aligned with Yanukovych, who's the pro-Russian minister.

00:30:09.420 So get your hands around this.

00:30:11.700 Hunter Biden, the vice president of the United States' son,

00:30:15.260 is being paid millions of dollars by a corrupt energy minister

00:30:20.900 who worked for the pro-Russian leader in Ukraine.

00:30:24.820 It's a remarkable string of relationships.

00:30:27.140 And what Shokin and now Lutsenko want to investigate is, first of all, Burisma,

00:30:32.360 the company, because there's all kinds of allegations of money laundering and corruption.

00:30:37.260 But they, second of all, explicitly back in 2014 and 2015,

00:30:42.600 were investigating Hunter Biden and Burisma.

00:30:46.440 And now the new prosecutor general wants to reopen that case

00:30:50.540 and wants to share that file information with the current U.S. Attorney General, William Barr.

00:30:57.140 Okay.

00:30:57.700 It's extraordinary.

00:30:59.040 Manafort went to jail for the same connections with the same people

00:31:05.880 that were locked in with the former Soviets, right?

00:31:12.440 Right.

00:31:12.840 That's right.

00:31:13.480 He was lobbying illegally for Yanukovych.

00:31:17.440 Right.

00:31:17.760 That's correct.

00:31:18.020 So we know this has happened before.

00:31:21.500 We know that people went to jail.

00:31:23.200 I knew about Manafort years before he went to jail.

00:31:28.900 We had all of that stuff was out, kind of like this is with Joe Biden's son.

00:31:33.600 But nobody covered it until Manafort went to work for Trump.

00:31:39.460 So we know what that's all about, because that guy should have been in jail long ago.

00:31:45.400 That's right.

00:31:45.980 And by the way, working with Manafort for Yanukovych and these Yanukovych-related entities

00:31:51.840 were a guy named Tony Podesta, John Podesta's brother, who's a lobbyist,

00:31:58.240 and Greg Craig, who was the former White House counsel in the Obama White House,

00:32:02.920 who was facing charges in New York as well.

00:32:05.180 All three were working for Yanukovych or Yanukovych-linked entities.

00:32:09.960 So, yes, this goes very deep and it's very widespread.

00:32:14.440 And now you have the vice president's son wrapped up in this.

00:32:18.160 At the time when Joe Biden, he could, you know, elevate his thumb or he could give thumbs down

00:32:24.180 and determine whether the Ukrainian government was going to get, you know, more than a billion dollars in aid.

00:32:30.300 It was his call.

00:32:31.360 Barack Obama said that.

00:32:32.700 The European nation said that.

00:32:34.200 He was the point person and his son was getting rich while his father was doing that.

00:32:40.680 OK, let me play the audio of what we have Joe Biden saying at a group of, you know, foreign relations people.

00:32:51.980 And he's bragging about getting this guy fired.

00:32:55.140 Listen.

00:32:55.380 I'm desperately concerned about the backsliding on the part of Kyiv in terms of corruption.

00:33:04.200 They made, I mean, I'll give you one concrete example.

00:33:07.980 I was, not I, I, but it just happened to be that was the assignment I got.

00:33:12.540 I got all the good ones.

00:33:14.180 And so I got Ukraine and I remember going over convincing our team or others to convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees.

00:33:26.500 And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kyiv.

00:33:31.040 And I was supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee.

00:33:36.040 And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against a state prosecutor.

00:33:45.160 And they didn't.

00:33:46.160 So they said they had, they were walking out to the press conference and said, no, I said, I'm not going to, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.

00:33:52.940 They said, you have no authority.

00:33:54.440 You're not the president.

00:33:55.260 The president said, I said, call him.

00:33:58.160 I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.

00:34:00.900 I said, you're not getting a billion.

00:34:02.300 I'm going to be leaving here.

00:34:03.300 And I think it was, what, six hours.

00:34:04.540 I looked at him, I said, I'm leaving in six hours.

00:34:06.600 If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money.

00:34:09.700 Oh, son of a, got fired.

00:34:12.900 And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

00:34:17.900 At the time.

00:34:19.300 Okay.

00:34:20.320 Interesting.

00:34:20.800 We're going to go back into that here in just a second with Peter Swiser.

00:34:23.780 He is the author of Secret Empires.

00:34:29.140 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:34:34.540 John Solomon is with us.

00:34:43.280 He is the executive vice president of the Hill.

00:34:46.500 And I'm confused by this, John, an opinion contributor to the Hill.

00:34:52.160 Your story does not read like an opinion piece.

00:34:55.060 Yeah, I'm, at heart, I'm just a reporter.

00:34:58.960 I think, I think today we call me an investigative columnist as sort of in the, in the tradition

00:35:03.220 of maybe a Jack Anderson.

00:35:04.340 But what my goal is, is to tell stories to people that are, are hidden under rocks that

00:35:08.760 matter about the integrity of their government.

00:35:11.200 Call it opinion, call it news, call it what you want, but that's the mission.

00:35:14.440 And you're, but I would just want to make sure that people know that you have credibility.

00:35:17.240 You worked as a reporter for the Washington Post.

00:35:19.480 Uh, you worked as a reporter for the Associated Press.

00:35:23.920 Yeah, for two decades.

00:35:24.860 Absolutely.

00:35:25.660 Okay.

00:35:25.860 So you're not some schlub who just has a blog and an opinion like me.

00:35:30.000 You actually have earned this.

00:35:31.980 Oh, you're very kind.

00:35:32.480 Thank you.

00:35:33.100 Okay.

00:35:33.820 So, so John, the story that, um, I heard from Peter Swiser a couple of weeks ago, you have

00:35:41.400 now taken, and I think taken it to a new level, uh, and no one is reporting on it.

00:35:48.780 We kind of know the story, but can you take us through it and give us the meat of this?

00:35:54.340 Yeah, absolutely.

00:35:55.140 So first off, Peter did some fantastic work during the 2016 election, raising questions

00:35:59.620 about why is Hunter Biden in Ukraine getting money in Ukraine from a natural gas company

00:36:05.780 at the same moment?

00:36:06.660 And his dad, Joe Biden, the vice president is the official point man for the Obama administration

00:36:11.420 on the Ukrainian crisis.

00:36:13.200 And if you look at the timing that, uh, that Peter laid out, Joe Biden gets named to be point

00:36:17.920 man, February, mid February, 2014.

00:36:20.800 And within a few weeks, Hunter Biden suddenly gets this mystery offer to go be a board member

00:36:25.620 of this Ukrainian company.

00:36:26.800 So on the face of it, it looks like the sort of pay to play or, or, uh, scratch my back politics

00:36:33.060 that we see so often in politics.

00:36:34.600 But here's the big, uh, the development by 2016, Ukrainian corruption prosecutors have

00:36:41.060 begun focusing on this company.

00:36:42.560 It's called Burisma.

00:36:43.660 It's a natural gas energy company.

00:36:45.660 And the Ukrainian prosecutors were examining it for multiple reasons.

00:36:49.120 They, they feared there might've been some tax evasion under Ukrainian law.

00:36:52.280 They believe there might've been some corruption in the securing of drilling permits.

00:36:56.480 And then they were very concerned that money was being exfoliated or taken out of the company

00:37:01.360 and moved to the United States, whether it's money laundering, misuse of money, legitimate.

00:37:05.520 They didn't know they wanted to get to the point of interviewing the people that were

00:37:09.280 taking the money.

00:37:10.120 And one of those persons was Hunter Biden and American now working for this natural gas

00:37:13.880 company.

00:37:14.240 And at the moment, the prosecutors were preparing a request to interview Hunter Biden.

00:37:20.020 Joe Biden shows up in Ukraine on one of his Ukraine trips.

00:37:22.620 And he tells the president of the country, uh, if you don't fire the prosecutor, the chief

00:37:28.220 prosecutor of this country in the next six hours while I'm here, I'm going to pull back

00:37:32.260 the $1 billion in loan credits your company, your country needs to stay solvent.

00:37:37.040 And you'll go bankrupt in the next 12 hours.

00:37:39.680 If you don't do it, I'm leaving here in six hours, fire that prosecutor.

00:37:43.340 Hang on.

00:37:44.000 I want to play the, I want to play the audio of him actually saying this and telling the

00:37:48.220 story in his own words.

00:37:49.120 Here it is.

00:37:49.760 I'm desperately concerned about the backsliding on the part of, uh, uh, Keeve in terms of

00:37:57.160 corruption.

00:37:58.040 They made, I mean, I'll give you one concrete example.

00:38:01.640 I, I, I was not, I, I, but it just happened to be, that was the assignment I got.

00:38:06.180 I, I, I got all the good ones.

00:38:07.940 Uh, and, uh, so I got Ukraine and, uh, um, I remember going over convincing our team or

00:38:15.120 others to convincing us that we should be providing for loan guarantees.

00:38:20.040 And I went over, I guess the 12th, 13th time to Keeve and, uh, and I was going supposed to

00:38:26.940 announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee.

00:38:29.820 And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from, uh, Yatsenyuk that they would take

00:38:37.000 action against the state prosecutor and they didn't.

00:38:39.880 So they said they had, they were walking out to press conference and I said, nah, I said,

00:38:42.960 I'm not going to, we're not going to give you the billion dollars.

00:38:46.600 They said, you have no authority.

00:38:48.180 You're not the president.

00:38:49.020 The president said, I said, call him.

00:38:50.720 I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.

00:38:54.540 I said, you're not getting a billion.

00:38:56.080 I'm going to be leaving here.

00:38:57.080 And I think it was what, six hours.

00:38:58.420 I looked, I said, I'm leaving in six hours.

00:39:00.240 If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money.

00:39:03.440 Oh, son of a got fired.

00:39:06.700 And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.

00:39:11.320 At the time.

00:39:11.840 Notice he says at the time, we'll get into that later.

00:39:13.800 Yeah.

00:39:14.580 Very interesting.

00:39:15.360 So this is the prosecutor general that was fired, Victor Shokin.

00:39:19.800 Can you tell me anything about Victor Shokin? 0.87

00:39:22.980 Is he a dirty guy?

00:39:24.300 Was he not going after corruption?

00:39:26.840 Well, he thinks he was, but he was an old school prosecutor and he was facing some criticism

00:39:31.900 in his country that not enough had been done.

00:39:33.820 Now, there had been some major corruption prosecutions in the securing of some victories

00:39:38.400 against money that had been left from the country.

00:39:41.180 But, you know, he wasn't a popular guy in Ukraine when Biden did this.

00:39:44.540 I think the most important part for Americans is our law, our ethics law, say you don't

00:39:49.820 get involved in a U.S. policy matter if your family has a financial interest.

00:39:54.200 It is irrefutable that Hunter Biden had a financial interest in Burisma and, more importantly,

00:39:59.700 in the outcome of the Ukrainian prosecutors.

00:40:01.800 And yet Joe Biden goes in, and there's no way Joe Biden can say he didn't know.

00:40:06.480 There were numerous stories his son had joined the company.

00:40:09.140 There were numerous stories that the very prosecutor that he was seeking to be fired was looking

00:40:13.700 at his son's company before he went and did this.

00:40:16.140 It's irrefutable.

00:40:17.240 I interviewed Shokin.

00:40:18.300 Shokin said, I was just a few days away from requesting an interview with Hunter Biden

00:40:23.640 when this happened.

00:40:25.740 And they had records showing more than $3 million flowed out of this company, Burisma,

00:40:31.160 to the United States into accounts controlled by Hunter Biden and his business partners

00:40:35.160 right at the time that he gets fired.

00:40:37.320 So let's fast forward ahead.

00:40:39.200 The solid guy that replaces him, that's the new prosecutor general, Yuri Lysenko.

00:40:44.860 I interviewed him, and Yuri Lysenko said, I only recently learned that the Burisma investigation

00:40:50.020 was shut down because of pressure from Joe Biden.

00:40:52.600 And I'm reopening it because I have some serious concerns about what we might have known

00:40:56.660 and what we might not have been allowed to investigate.

00:40:59.340 And so right now, as the 2020 campaign starts, Ukrainian prosecutors have reopened a portion

00:41:05.300 of that case and are digging in deep.

00:41:07.740 And this could have some very big consequences both in Ukraine and in the United States.

00:41:11.600 So, John, when you said the new prosecutor had no idea that this Burisma investigation

00:41:21.020 was shut down, was there anything else that was shut down?

00:41:25.300 I mean, is there any doubt?

00:41:28.060 You've talked to so many people that were involved, and they verified that what Joe Biden said happened.

00:41:33.800 They said it didn't happen overnight.

00:41:35.540 He had been pressuring them for a couple of weeks, I guess.

00:41:38.500 Right.

00:41:38.800 Yeah, a couple months.

00:41:39.680 That's right, four months.

00:41:40.560 Yeah, okay, four months.

00:41:42.340 And so they were being pressured, so they all know it.

00:41:46.640 Is there any doubt in their mind over there that what had to happen to not piss Joe Biden

00:41:54.220 or the United States off was end this investigation?

00:41:59.820 Lusenko addressed this in the interview, and he said, listen, we were a country on the brink

00:42:04.300 of insolvency at this point, and we were so reliant on U.S. money, we would do whatever

00:42:09.080 it takes to get that next loan guarantee, because otherwise we go insolvent and we can't pay

00:42:13.780 our bills, and he said when the Russian leadership that had previously run the country, the Russian

00:42:19.000 friendly president, Yanukovych, left the country, there was only $8,000 left in the entire country's

00:42:25.620 coffers to pay bills.

00:42:27.980 The Russians looted the country on the way out, and so without the U.S. money, they could 1.00

00:42:33.760 not survive, and so he said, absolutely, we would bend to the will of Joe Biden, but now

00:42:38.580 we're doing a little bit better.

00:42:39.920 We're looking at this.

00:42:40.700 There's a new president, President Trump in town, and we don't like the way this was

00:42:45.680 shut down, and they're also talking about other pressure exerted in other investigations.

00:42:50.680 About 10 days ago, I reported that Lusenko and other prosecutors and law enforcement

00:42:55.620 officials said the U.S. embassy on multiple occasions pressured them to not pursue certain

00:43:01.120 people, and one of the groups they were asked not to pursue, and I had the letter actually

00:43:04.940 from the embassy was a non-profit that was run by George Soros or funded by George Soros,

00:43:11.580 and you can see the letter basically, the embassy saying, back off these guys.

00:43:16.140 So something was going on in Ukraine in the 2016 election where the Ukrainian prosecutors

00:43:22.040 felt that the U.S. was interfering in their sovereign affairs, the ability for them to conduct

00:43:27.300 their own criminal investigations on their own soil.

00:43:30.140 So isn't it interesting how the left has made such a big deal out of Paul Manafort, which

00:43:34.980 he's a guy, before he was ever involved with Donald Trump, I talked about Paul Manafort.

00:43:40.040 He's a guy who should be in jail.

00:43:42.020 He should have been prosecuted before he even joined with Trump.

00:43:45.740 He went to jail because of the same kind of stuff, playing footsie with the Russians and 1.00

00:43:51.180 taking money and not claiming it, et cetera, et cetera.

00:43:53.600 Um, it's interesting to me that such a big deal was made out of Manafort and yet not a

00:44:01.640 word about this.

00:44:02.960 And it's, it's seemingly in the same pool.

00:44:08.940 Well, it may even go into a deeper pool and, uh, there are some growing signs.

00:44:13.720 Let's, let's take some things that we now know are in the public record, irrefutable, uh,

00:44:17.800 things in the public record.

00:44:18.760 There was a recent court ruling in Ukraine in which a Ukrainian court concluded that

00:44:23.440 NABU, the FBI of Ukraine, uh, knowingly and willfully tried to intervene in the 2016

00:44:29.600 election to benefit Hillary Clinton. 0.98

00:44:31.320 That's a court ruling.

00:44:32.660 How did they do that?

00:44:34.200 They leaked, uh, documents in the summer of 2016 to American media, like the New York

00:44:39.520 Times, laying out, um, the evidence or alleged evidence against Paul Manafort of these, these

00:44:45.600 monies coming from the party of regions in Ukraine.

00:44:47.720 And that led to, uh, Manafort being, uh, leaving the campaign and then the criminal investigation.

00:44:53.260 What's extraordinary is that we, uh, in the interview I did, uh, just a couple of days

00:44:57.460 ago with the Ukrainian prosecutors, they say they were under pressure.

00:45:00.780 They won't say specifically who, but they were under pressure from the United States to

00:45:04.600 narrow the focus of what was leaked to the media, to just Manafort and to leave out of

00:45:09.160 the records that they gave the medium, similar payments that were being made to democratic

00:45:13.780 figures, including Greg Craig, Obama's former white house counsel.

00:45:17.720 He says that on the record for the first time.

00:45:19.660 So you have a foreign country saying, we leaked Manafort, but we protected the Democrats,

00:45:24.980 including Greg Craig.

00:45:26.320 And, uh, also in the same interview, the prosecutor divulges for the first time that he has affidavits

00:45:32.620 or sworn statements from two federal law or U S, um, Ukrainian law enforcement officials

00:45:38.140 saying, yes, we were trying to interfere in the election to the benefit of Hillary Clinton. 0.93

00:45:42.560 So now we may have real proof that a foreign power did knowingly and willfully intervene

00:45:47.700 in the election, but not on behalf of Donald Trump, in behalf of Hillary Clinton.

00:45:52.060 John, you have been around, like I said, at the beginning, decades, AP Washington post,

00:45:57.540 um, you have been around stories that have been earth shattering.

00:46:03.800 Compare this.

00:46:04.840 What kind of story is this?

00:46:06.560 What, how big of a story is this?

00:46:08.180 Not how big it will become because we have no idea what the press will do with it, but

00:46:12.980 how important of a story is this?

00:46:14.900 Can you compare it to anything you've seen in the past?

00:46:17.540 You know, I don't want to get ahead of the, uh, of our skis because there's still a lot

00:46:21.240 more reporting, but let's just think about what we know at this very moment.

00:46:24.460 These are facts that are irrefutable in the record.

00:46:27.660 Mrs. Clinton and the Democratic Party had, uh, uh, a person assigned to the Ukrainian

00:46:33.660 embassy in Washington to receive research on Donald Trump's ties to Russia.

00:46:37.960 That is irrefutable.

00:46:39.000 It's been confirmed.

00:46:40.300 Uh, the Ukrainians say they have a court ruling and, and intercepts tape recordings showing

00:46:46.200 their Ukrainian law enforcement institution, Nabu, trying to intervene in the election on

00:46:51.960 behalf of Mrs. Clinton.

00:46:53.040 You have, uh, uh, Nellie Orr's testimony to Congress saying at Fusion GPS, when I worked

00:46:59.940 there as the wife of a senior justice official, Bruce Orr, working for the same firm as Christopher

00:47:04.500 Steele and Glenn Simpson, one of our primary sources of information on dirt on Donald Trump

00:47:09.800 and Russia was a Ukrainian.

00:47:12.020 She says that under, under oath in Congress.

00:47:14.440 Those are three things that we now know.

00:47:16.060 Now let's take forward.

00:47:17.060 The fact that we now know irrefutably by Joe Biden's own words, he ordered or pressured

00:47:22.960 the firing of a prosecutor who was looking at his son's company.

00:47:27.020 Just those four things are more than anything that ever came out and was corroborated in

00:47:30.920 the Russia collusion probe.

00:47:32.200 So when we, when we see that we have to at least say there are some very serious questions

00:47:36.900 that have to be asked of the Democrats of the Ukrainian government tomorrow, I'll be

00:47:40.940 reporting that Ukrainian authorities have tried multiple times in the last, uh, several

00:47:46.460 months to come to Washington and deliver to the new attorney general, Bill Barr, uh, evidence

00:47:51.500 of what they believe occurred in the 2016 election.

00:47:53.940 And it occurred in Burisma and Biden, but every time they ask for permission, the U S embassy

00:47:59.080 has been in Kiev has been unwilling to give them a visa to come here.

00:48:02.800 So that that's going to advance the question.

00:48:04.660 What is the hide?

00:48:05.420 Why can't we let these Ukrainians come here and talk to our own justice department and 1.00

00:48:08.580 share the information?

00:48:09.840 There are a lot of questions.

00:48:11.100 I don't want to get ahead of the skis yet, but I think there's enough in the record of

00:48:14.440 evidence to, to demand more investigation and certainly more answers to questions.

00:48:18.880 John Solomon.

00:48:19.320 Thank you very much.

00:48:20.260 I appreciate it.

00:48:21.000 Thank you, God.

00:48:21.600 You bet.

00:48:22.000 Bye bye from the hill.com.

00:48:23.940 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:48:43.280 Who's the biggest fraud that is out there?

00:48:46.660 You know, the, the, the reason why Donald Trump won in my opinion is well, a Hillary 0.98

00:48:53.620 Clinton was just horrible, just horrible. 0.98

00:48:57.940 Yes. 0.99

00:48:58.200 The, it has to be the worst major party nominee ever.

00:49:02.440 Yeah.

00:49:02.620 Well, they might be, well, up until that point, 2020 might be, maybe worse, maybe worse.

00:49:07.800 Um, but, uh, the reason why he won is because he was, um, authentic in his own way.

00:49:18.660 You know, he likes big gold gaudy things.

00:49:21.920 He doesn't mind being seen with big gold gaudy things.

00:49:25.680 And, uh, he's like, yeah, like hot women.

00:49:28.720 I married a few look at them.

00:49:30.420 Ah, they're hot.

00:49:31.260 I mean, so he's authentically him, even in the things that are not real.

00:49:38.300 Does that make sense to you?

00:49:40.700 Yeah.

00:49:41.160 You know, my woman started to look a little saggy.

00:49:43.160 So, uh, we put some, uh, you know, lift dinner bazoombas.

00:49:47.140 What?

00:49:47.940 I remember that speech.

00:49:49.100 It was an impactful moment.

00:49:50.500 I mean, but that's an author.

00:49:52.060 You're while you're, while you're, you know, saying, Hey, plastic surgery, it is authentically

00:49:58.400 him.

00:49:59.160 And I'm not saying that I'm just using that as an example.

00:50:01.520 Right.

00:50:01.900 The bottom line is he says what he, what he thinks.

00:50:04.640 Correct.

00:50:05.100 Correct.

00:50:05.500 Uh, and so, and that's what I thought was a rebound from Barack Obama.

00:50:11.940 I knew Barack Obama was so slick and so perfect that it would, it would rebound and you'd get

00:50:19.580 somebody like that.

00:50:20.720 Yeah.

00:50:20.900 The buttoned up guy goes to, I mean, I remember you initially talking about this theory with

00:50:24.300 Chris Christie when he was coming in, like he could kind of just see that some guy who's

00:50:27.560 plain spoken and, you know, his shirt's kind of untucked and he's got gravy on his shirt.

00:50:31.580 Yeah.

00:50:31.760 His buttons are kind of popping out.

00:50:33.460 You see a little bit of his fat and you're like, and he's like, yep, I'm fat.

00:50:37.800 And I, oh, geez, I just had lunch.

00:50:39.940 I got gravy on my shirt.

00:50:41.260 I'm sorry about that.

00:50:42.100 Listen, here's what's going on.

00:50:44.080 Right.

00:50:44.320 And Trump's not that guy, but he's that, he is a different version of that.

00:50:48.100 Different version of that guy.

00:50:48.940 Right.

00:50:49.260 Okay.

00:50:49.540 So now I don't think we're at the pendulum yet.

00:50:53.020 I don't think the pendulum is now at four, at eight years, maybe we'll be at the pendulum

00:50:57.980 where you're going to want somebody who is just really, you know, soft spoken.

00:51:03.040 A Ben Sass type or Buddha judge. 0.93

00:51:06.520 Yeah.

00:51:06.720 The Buddha judge thing is, is, is happening now.

00:51:09.360 I think based on that, I watched his CNN town hall and he's getting this big spike.

00:51:15.040 He's, you know, again, the polls, he's up to, you know, four or 5%.

00:51:18.440 He's not a huge factor yet, but he is breaking out of that.

00:51:22.400 I mean, there's a, you know, it's a field of 16 right now.

00:51:25.620 We expect at least four or five more to be in this race in the next few weeks.

00:51:30.000 So he's being, he's able to separate himself a little bit from that very lower tier and

00:51:34.260 he's making some noise.

00:51:35.040 And that is essentially his approach.

00:51:36.560 He, he comes off completely as the anti-Trump.

00:51:38.720 He's young.

00:51:39.880 He's, uh, he, he's very calm.

00:51:42.080 Um, he talks about all the details of his policies.

00:51:45.720 He's a gay guy who's like, I like Chick-fil-A. 1.00

00:51:48.220 So I go eat Chick-fil-A.

00:51:49.380 I love their sandwiches.

00:51:50.240 Yeah. 0.98

00:51:50.500 He's a center of the country, a gay man would be the first gay president.

00:51:54.100 And again, if you think, well, we shouldn't, we just, you know, like someone on merit.

00:51:58.400 No, we should elect someone on who has the most intersectionality points.

00:52:01.760 And that's, I think the most, I think even more than a Kamala Harris would be the first

00:52:06.300 black woman who would be, you know, president, there's more intersectionality points for first 1.00

00:52:13.060 gay president. 0.90

00:52:13.660 I think at this point, I think if that would be such a big deal, the Democrats want that 0.98

00:52:18.100 title.

00:52:18.700 They want to be able to say that they ran someone, uh, who, who is openly gay.

00:52:23.520 And, you know, again, he comes off very well. 0.89

00:52:25.560 I mean, he, at least in his first appearance and bulletproof because he's gay, bulletproof, 1.00

00:52:30.400 bulletproof because there'd be a lot of people that won't listen to anything other than,

00:52:34.260 you know what, I want to make that statement that we're not homophobic.

00:52:39.100 It was similar with Barack Obama.

00:52:40.740 It really didn't matter how many times he said he wanted to bankrupt this industry or

00:52:45.000 that industry.

00:52:45.840 The bottom line was he was going to be the first black president and that gave him enough 1.00

00:52:49.880 votes to make it not even a contest.

00:52:52.400 I think honestly, even if he was white, he probably beats John McCain relatively easily.

00:52:56.000 But I mean, it wasn't even a contest because those, there's enough people in the middle who

00:53:00.300 didn't really have, don't follow these things that closely who just wanted to make that

00:53:03.420 statement and it's, and it's a good statement, right?

00:53:05.840 I mean, we, it's nice to think that we don't care about those things in the United States

00:53:09.160 of America.

00:53:09.640 Of course, immediately upon getting into office, he spent eight years telling us that's all

00:53:15.360 we care about.

00:53:16.520 I mean, so it was, it completely backfired on the people who wanted to make a statement,

00:53:20.680 a positive statement about race.

00:53:22.520 So it'll be interesting to see, um, uh, Buddha judge who is just a, he's a mayor from Indiana.

00:53:30.560 South Bend.

00:53:31.020 Yeah.

00:53:31.200 Indiana.

00:53:31.560 I mean, he's a mayor.

00:53:33.280 I think that actually works to his advantage.

00:53:36.680 A soft-spoken regular guy, uh, for a, who's a mayor in, uh, South Bend, Indiana who goes

00:53:45.460 and, uh, and he's the new president.

00:53:47.920 He's complete outsider.

00:53:49.580 I think this guy is should be, is worth watching because you look at Elizabeth Warren.

00:53:57.440 She's done.

00:53:58.140 First of all, she's absolutely done, but there's no genuine Elizabeth Warren that you'd like,

00:54:03.700 right?

00:54:04.460 No, she's not a genuine communicator in any way.

00:54:07.340 She's not Hillary Clinton, but she's close.

00:54:10.260 Very close.

00:54:11.140 If she's not, if she's not as bad as Hillary Clinton. 1.00

00:54:13.460 Yeah.

00:54:13.600 They're very similar in their delivery and their inability to seem authentic in any way.

00:54:17.920 Okay.

00:54:18.600 So now, um, let me give you Cory Booker. 0.95

00:54:24.520 Cory Booker is so fake.

00:54:28.140 Yeah. 0.89

00:54:28.440 And so over the top that he just will not connect.

00:54:32.080 And I'm not talking about policies with any of these people.

00:54:34.200 So just, are they real?

00:54:37.360 Listen, listen to Cory Booker, um, in a sit down conversation, uh, with Democrats in the

00:54:45.360 audience.

00:54:46.300 He all of a sudden gets up out of his chair and he does this.

00:54:49.840 This is America.

00:54:54.000 We know our history.

00:54:55.640 This is a time to stand up, to speak up, to rise up.

00:54:59.700 Because when we stand as Americans, when we join together and fight together and work

00:55:04.640 together, no filibuster can stop us.

00:55:07.320 We usher in civil rights, women's rights, workers' rights.

00:55:10.780 And in this era, if we organize again, we are going to bring a progressive agenda to this

00:55:15.480 country and move it forward for everyone, no matter who's in the Senate.

00:55:20.500 I mean, that is, and that's the good side of Cory Booker.

00:55:24.800 I think that's better than his normal, uh, his normal performance.

00:55:28.220 Oh yeah.

00:55:28.620 But that's just, does not strike you as authentic.

00:55:30.500 No, you know what?

00:55:31.240 That is the kiss of death.

00:55:32.480 You start exposing that.

00:55:34.160 That is the kiss of death that we saw with, uh, what's his face?

00:55:39.620 Howard Dean.

00:55:40.460 That is the same kind of speech where it's not authentic.

00:55:45.680 Sit down.

00:55:46.460 You want it too much.

00:55:47.680 Sit down.

00:55:48.620 Exactly.

00:55:49.060 You want it too much.

00:55:50.380 It's such a great way to put it with Booker because that, I mean, the Spartacus thing

00:55:53.440 was the same.

00:55:54.180 It was a different, it was a different, uh, tone, tone, but it was the same thing.

00:55:58.500 He just wants it so badly.

00:56:00.940 I'm breaking the rules.

00:56:02.160 I, this is my Spartacus moment.

00:56:04.140 It's just so cheesy.

00:56:06.240 And you can just tell all he wants in life is to come up with like this perfect speech

00:56:11.320 that's going to win all Democrats to his side so we can get this nomination.

00:56:14.600 When people can sense you want it that badly, you usually don't get it.

00:56:18.700 And I think that's where, uh, you know, Biden was or is authentically Joe Biden.

00:56:29.580 Yeah.

00:56:29.940 I think there's some authentic candidates in this race for them.

00:56:32.260 I think, you know, we talked about Buttigieg.

00:56:33.820 We talked, I think Biden is authentically Biden and he's similar in that way.

00:56:37.900 You're talking about with Chris Christie, where he'll come out and blurt out things that don't

00:56:41.000 make any sense.

00:56:41.680 And he'll say things that, that are sort of offensive and he's going to be apologizing

00:56:46.280 a lot through this campaign.

00:56:47.380 Well, I mean, he's not Louis Farrakhan.

00:56:48.920 No, no, no.

00:56:49.300 He's not.

00:56:49.700 No, I didn't say that.

00:56:50.840 He's not Louis Farrakhan.

00:56:51.760 But I mean, I think Bernie Sanders is authentic.

00:56:54.700 You know, again, like here's another guy who I think does not fit into that very basic

00:56:59.320 politician mold where he's, you know, look, he's 147 years old.

00:57:04.740 His hair's all over the place. 0.99

00:57:06.100 He looks like a crazy professor. 0.58

00:57:08.180 I mean, it looks like he's got a flux capacitor and somewhere inside of his house he's created 0.97

00:57:12.420 because he fell on a toilet in 1955.

00:57:14.680 I mean, like that's who this guy looks like.

00:57:16.760 But he is, he is, look, all of a sudden things changed in, in 1960.

00:57:24.380 You had this handsome, good looking, well-spoken Camelot kind of wow.

00:57:32.060 Okay.

00:57:32.660 With Kennedy.

00:57:33.440 Yeah.

00:57:33.780 And that's what everybody's been shooting for.

00:57:36.340 Who's the next Kennedy?

00:57:37.240 Who's the next Robert F. Kennedy?

00:57:38.660 Oh, he's so sexy.

00:57:39.720 Oh, he's so beautiful.

00:57:40.740 Oh, look at him.

00:57:41.520 He's got his shirt off.

00:57:42.560 Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:57:44.360 And we have been looking for the Kennedy image for so long.

00:57:49.760 We are now looking for the Scuttle image.

00:57:53.160 I mean, when I think of Bernie Sanders, I think of Scuttle.

00:57:57.080 You remember the seagull from, you know, Little Mermaid played by Buddy Hackett?

00:58:03.340 That's who I think.

00:58:04.300 I mean, I've never seen Scuttle and Bernie Sanders in the same room.

00:58:09.180 I'm not saying they're the same people, but that's what we're going for now.

00:58:13.120 We are officially finished with the JFK good looking kind of guy.

00:58:21.560 And I think that is what Beto is going for.

00:58:25.700 He's going for this JFK, RFK look.

00:58:29.260 And I don't think he is.

00:58:31.400 If you look that way, I think you have to be deeper.

00:58:35.340 I think you have to have deep, meaningful thoughts.

00:58:41.520 You know, RFK, everybody who is a fan of JFK that I know of, they all say the same thing.

00:58:48.400 But RFK was the real deal.

00:58:50.480 Yeah, right.

00:58:50.960 They like RFK better.

00:58:51.940 Everybody likes RFK because he actually earned it.

00:58:56.860 Where JFK was just living on his looks and his daddy's money.

00:59:01.500 RFK deserved it and earned it.

00:59:04.540 And I think because we're looking for somebody so authentic now, I think to win, you're going to have to earn it.

00:59:11.560 And it's not by memorizing rhymes like Cory Booker just did.

00:59:16.180 Look at this theory, though, on the pendulum real quick.

00:59:21.320 So JFK, this perfect guy, he's just this, you know, buttoned up, everything else.

00:59:25.960 You skip over Lyndon Johnson because, I mean, he wasn't elected, right?

00:59:28.700 The next president is Richard Nixon, right?

00:59:30.720 Like total opposite, right, of Kennedy.

00:59:33.440 But he was the guy who lost to Kennedy, too.

00:59:35.920 And he was the guy that lost to Kennedy.

00:59:37.160 So, I mean, even more starkly indicates that.

00:59:39.820 But he was like, you know, you think of him sweating and you think of him like, then there's like this, you also think of corruption, right?

00:59:46.260 Like all of the, with Watergate.

00:59:47.740 Then you go to, again, Ford not counting him.

00:59:52.220 You go to Carter then, peanut farmer.

00:59:54.580 Then you go from just, but it was complete incompetence.

00:59:57.640 Then you go to a guy, competence, right?

00:59:59.880 You have a real competence there.

01:00:01.720 Some people saw that, though, as like family values and everything in that whole generation.

01:00:07.280 I mean, George H.W. Bush largely wins because Reagan was so successful he couldn't lose.

01:00:12.480 But then we go to the Bill Clinton guy.

01:00:14.400 He's the saxophone playing guy.

01:00:16.360 But then he turns into the scandal guy.

01:00:18.840 We need someone with honor.

01:00:19.920 George W. Bush.

01:00:21.300 George W. Bush comes in.

01:00:23.100 And George W. Bush comes in.

01:00:24.600 And yes, you know, the left never likes him.

01:00:26.840 But the real.

01:00:27.620 And he does the hard things that nobody really likes.

01:00:30.740 I mean, all the way to TARP.

01:00:31.960 He would frame that as, look, I know this is.

01:00:34.600 He said it.

01:00:35.300 Yep.

01:00:35.560 I had to violate it to save it.

01:00:37.840 The capitalist system.

01:00:38.660 Yeah, right.

01:00:38.980 Then you have, but remember, the other thing about Bush was stumbling over speeches all

01:00:44.240 the time.

01:00:44.980 He constantly couldn't get through sentences.

01:00:47.100 Then you have the Mr. Perfect buttoned up guy with Obama.

01:00:50.620 He comes in.

01:00:51.200 That's all he does is he makes great speeches, supposedly.

01:00:54.240 And he's the most buttoned up intellectual guy you've ever seen in your entire life.

01:00:57.280 The exact opposite of the way Bush was portrayed.

01:00:59.660 And then Obama goes for eight years.

01:01:01.660 And again, if you believe the left, how on earth does Hillary Clinton lose? 0.83

01:01:05.100 This is just a handoff because Barack Obama's presidency was so successful.

01:01:09.580 Instead, the pendulum swings the other way.

01:01:11.560 And you have a guy who is swearing on stage, who is, you know, who doesn't always nail every

01:01:17.280 single fact.

01:01:18.320 He's out there, but he gets the people pumped up.

01:01:21.640 You know, the people love him.

01:01:23.120 He's out making huge rallies.

01:01:24.440 It's a totally different, again, profile of a candidate.

01:01:30.000 And so, again, you know, Barack Obama won twice, right?

01:01:32.860 So, does it go back in 2024 to a Democrat who has the exact opposite profile of Trump?

01:01:39.920 Or does it happen in 2020?

01:01:41.680 I mean, it's an interesting thing because we get sick of what we have and we go for something else.

01:01:46.380 Yeah, I would say that it would go to 2024.

01:01:51.600 However, if you're just looking at based on, you know, the pendulum, the only thing you couldn't

01:01:59.420 count on is that time has sped up now because everything is so intense.

01:02:05.640 What used to take four or eight years now can take two or four years.

01:02:10.220 And so you just you just don't know.

01:02:12.700 But one thing I do know is the candidate that runs against Trump will need to be as authentic

01:02:20.120 as he is.

01:02:22.120 And I know people think, oh, he's a fraud.

01:02:24.420 No, no, no.

01:02:26.180 He he makes no bones about who he is, how he runs his business, what he does.

01:02:32.020 He does not care.

01:02:33.600 And that's what America was attracted to. 0.99
