The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Peter Schweizer, Rudy Atallah & John Solomon ｜ 10⧸10⧸19

00:00:00.000 Boy, podcast today is fantastic. So much to talk about. We start with new information about Nancy

00:00:09.700 Pelosi's son being involved in Ukraine. We also have an update on what's happening with these

00:00:16.540 Christians and the Yazidis in Syria that are being bombed and killed. One family that the Nazarene 1.00

00:00:23.340 Fund worked to save from ISIS. Their house was bombed yesterday. The whole family almost died.

00:00:30.000 We'll give you that. But the money today is on two interviews. One, Peter Schweitzer. Peter is

00:00:38.400 being trashed by Joe Biden in a letter to the New York Times where he says, New York Times,

00:00:44.420 you're becoming fake news and conspiracy theorists because of an article that Peter Schweitzer wrote

00:00:50.380 an opinion piece yesterday. We have him on. Also, John Solomon, the guy who knows everything about

00:00:58.560 the Ukraine scandal. I had, I think, 16 really important questions for him that I wanted cleared

00:01:04.820 up. And we raced through it to get those answers. And there were bombshells that he dropped. You don't

00:01:11.560 want to miss this episode. Critical John Solomon, Peter Schweitzer. And we begin with Nancy Pelosi's

00:01:18.640 son in Ukraine. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:36.400 Ukrainian MP Andrei Dyrkan revealed yesterday that former Vice President Joe Biden received

00:01:45.420 $900,000 from the Burisma Group for lobbying activities, citing materials related to an

00:01:54.360 investigation. Now, before you get excited, I want you to know that we have not personally

00:02:04.100 translated the documents. There are several documents. We have only one of them. And it's all

00:02:12.040 in Ukrainian. We are having it translated during the show today, which is our first opportunity

00:02:18.380 to have it translated. I am reporting on someone else's information. We have not confirmed this yet.

00:02:28.780 This is Ukraine's Vorkanova Rada member, who is citing the investigation materials.

00:02:38.840 He has publicized the documents, which he said describe the mechanism of getting money to Biden

00:02:47.360 senior at a press conference at Interfact Ukraine's press center in Kiev on Wednesday. This was the

00:02:55.900 transfer of Burisma Group's funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe personally,

00:03:03.160 to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to a U.S.-based

00:03:11.340 company, Rosemont Seneca Partners, which, according to open sources, in particular the New York Times,

00:03:18.300 is affiliated with Joe Biden. Well, it's his son, Biden. The payment reference was payment for

00:03:25.780 consultive services. Durak also publicized sums of money transferred to Burisma Group representatives,

00:03:34.960 including Joe Biden's son. According to the document, Burisma paid no less than $16.5 million.

00:03:44.140 to Devon Archer and Hunter Biden, who joined as a board of directors in 2014.

00:03:57.380 Using political and economic levelers of influencing Ukrainian authorities and manipulating the issue

00:04:04.520 of providing financial aid to Ukraine, Joe Biden actively assisted closing criminal cases to the

00:04:11.100 activity of a former Ukrainian ecology minister, who is the founder and owner of the Burisma Group.

00:04:19.280 Biden's fifth visit to Kiev on December 7th, a date which will still live in infamy,

00:04:27.060 was devoted to making a decision on the resignation of the prosecutor general, Victor Shokin,

00:04:32.800 over the case of Zalewski and Burisma. Loan guarantees worth more than $1 billion that the United States

00:04:40.620 was to give Ukraine was to give Ukraine was the point of pressure. Biden himself admitted exerting

00:04:45.380 pressure in his speech. According to Interfax, that is the group in the journalistic group in Ukraine,

00:04:53.880 the timeline of events proves that the U.S. linked the Zelensky case to the loan guarantees. We know

00:05:01.560 this. After the decree dismissing Shokin was published on April 3rd, the governments of the United States

00:05:08.120 in Ukraine signed a loan guarantee worth $1 billion. In this case, there are facts that should be

00:05:15.340 subject to investigation, he said. The agency has powers to investigate them. The U.S. Department of

00:05:21.980 Justice, if the Ukrainian prosecutor general signs documents and sends them to the U.S. Department of

00:05:28.320 Justice without any request, he will accomplish his mission. Considering international corruption in

00:05:34.460 public is a way out for President Zelensky, I am certain that he is not involved in international

00:05:40.720 corruption. The problem with this story is, is we don't know who to trust. Because everybody,

00:05:49.100 everybody has lost credibility in Ukraine. And everyone in the entire country.

00:05:55.580 Well, no, there's... I'm serious. It just seems like every time you bring up anything,

00:05:59.620 there's always going to be a corruption allegation because it seems like everyone in the country has

00:06:04.780 committed some sort of corruption crime. Well, there is Victor. You remember Victor. He's the guy

00:06:10.100 with the dog. Oh, yeah. Cute dog. Cute dog. The dog committed a corruption crime. Yes, but not Victor.

00:06:15.420 But Victor. But Victor's clean, we think. No, here's the thing. Let's just change countries here for a

00:06:22.800 second and put it in our part of the world. The Ukraine is a very small country in the grand scheme 0.80

00:06:34.060 of things. Okay. It doesn't have a large GDP. In fact, look at their GDP and see if you can compare

00:06:40.200 it to states. See what state Ukraine is like. So it's a small place. Yeah, it's medium. I would say

00:06:49.740 it's medium, right? I mean... Texas is bigger. California is bigger. New York will be bigger.

00:06:57.520 Florida probably will be bigger. I mean, it's a state. Yeah, obviously part of the Soviet Union.

00:07:05.480 Right. For a very long time. Yeah. It's where you can go to... If you want to go see the fallout

00:07:10.400 of a nuclear disaster... I want to go. I really want to go. I do too. That's the place to go.

00:07:14.860 Right. In Ukraine. Let's see. Ukraine. So if we could compare it to a country in our hemisphere,

00:07:24.300 imagine if the Republicans all of a sudden had their family members... By the way, have you heard

00:07:33.640 the latest on Nancy Pelosi's son? He was also now the... I think he was the COO of a oil company

00:07:43.380 in Ukraine. So weird. You know, I don't think of Ukraine as a... as Disneyland, where you send

00:07:51.560 your children. But everyone in the Democratic Party seems to be sending their children over

00:07:54.940 there. Okay, so imagine... I think of it a place where a hostile sequel would occur.

00:07:59.120 Right. And instead, people just keep sending their kids over there. Right. So if a bunch of

00:08:04.960 Republicans sent their families down to, let's say, Brazil, and they were all running, you know,

00:08:13.380 I don't know, swimwear stuff in Brazil, we wouldn't necessarily think anything. However,

00:08:20.200 if the Republicans all sent their kids and their... the DNC set up shop there, and they were working

00:08:28.820 through the embassy, and all these things were going, and the country was Colombia, we might

00:08:35.120 all say, you know, George Bush's kids set up a farm there. I'm wondering what they're

00:08:43.220 farming in Colombia. I wonder what kind of leaves they're picking down there. I wonder if this

00:08:50.900 is a... I wonder if this is a front for drug lords. I wonder if they're getting kickbacks from

00:08:58.060 many drug lords, and they're living high off the hog in Colombia. Wouldn't we be asking those

00:09:07.560 questions? This is as corrupt as Colombia. And all of our Democratic friends seem to have 0.97

00:09:21.060 some pretty great deals. Now, the latest on Pelosi is that her son, and there's videotapes showing it

00:09:30.500 where he's proudly talking about his company. It appears as though he was made COO of this company,

00:09:39.900 but this company apparently was started by two criminals that couldn't own a company in Ukraine.

00:09:48.640 We're no longer allowed. They were so corrupt. They were no longer allowed to have a business. 0.94

00:09:54.620 And so Nancy Pelosi's son appears to have been kind of a beard for this company.

00:10:02.560 Now, you would think again that if you were going to send your kids over there, you would warn your

00:10:09.080 kids, hey, kids, this is really corrupt. I mean, you could easily fall into those Colombian drug 0.99

00:10:16.180 lords. So if you go to Colombia, don't get in bed with drug lords. But both Joe Biden,

00:10:26.160 John Kerry, and a third now, Nancy Pelosi, sent their kids over there, and they all happen to fall in

00:10:35.700 a play with drug lords. Darn it. They're all in bed with oligarchs and criminals. 1.00

00:10:46.580 Hmm. It's just so weird. I mean, you think really, really weird. Why would you? Why would you really 0.98

00:10:53.520 weird go there? It doesn't seem like there's like tons of direct flights. It just doesn't seem like a place

00:10:59.340 you just go to. Yeah. People don't even know if it's Kiev or Kiev. They can't even figure it out.

00:11:03.840 Right. They keep sending people there. Right. They're sending people there. By the way, this is

00:11:07.340 the place that Russia was trying to take back. And Russia had troops shooting people in the main

00:11:14.360 square. Just at the same time, everybody's like, hey, kids, why don't you go start a business in

00:11:20.620 Ukraine? That doesn't make any sense. So there's 233 countries or states in the world. Ukraine,

00:11:28.220 33rd in population, 44 million people. How many? What's the GDP? GDP. You look that up. Give

00:11:36.540 me one minute. I'll come right back. We'll look at the GDP. This is not a significant country. I mean,

00:11:42.420 it plays a role because of its former Soviet status. But it's not like, why did they send so much over

00:11:53.720 there? And I'm not talking about, you know, should we defend them or help them? I mean,

00:12:00.260 they sent their Obama sent his personal attorney over there. Hillary Clinton sent her her personal

00:12:09.120 strategist or chief strategist. Obama had his chief pollster. Bernie Sanders sent his chief pollster

00:12:16.480 over there. Nancy Pelosi sent her son. Joe Biden sent his son. John Kerry sent his son.

00:12:24.200 192 countries ranked by GDP. Ukraine at 132. Hello. And especially when you consider it's what,

00:12:31.200 40, what did I say? 40, 33, 33 in population. Yeah. That's yeah. It doesn't seem like the

00:12:37.820 monetary paradise you'd want. No, it's really not. It's really not. While you're sending your son off

00:12:44.240 to war, the Congress, the Democrats seem to be sending their kids off to oligarchs.

00:12:53.220 The best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:13:01.640 Hey, it's Glenn and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program. If you like what you're hearing on

00:13:05.780 this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed. It's available wherever you download

00:13:11.120 your favorite podcasts. Peter Schweitzer. I'm trying to take you serious, Peter, but it's so hard.

00:13:19.000 It was great to be out with you, Glenn. Thanks for having me. I guess we're conspiring in front of

00:13:23.520 your audience. Oh yeah. No, let's just we're going to swear everybody to secrecy here. You did no matter

00:13:29.840 what you hear in the next few minutes. You didn't hear us. We're not really talking to each other.

00:13:35.780 Peter, let's, first of all, let me start with this. Last week in something completely outrageous,

00:13:44.700 they started saying that you were ripping portions of your book right off of Wikipedia.

00:13:53.280 And the, the charges were so crazy because they were saying, uh, what was the, what was the one

00:14:00.300 example, Stu, that we were talking about just yesterday? They're talking about the mayor of

00:14:04.040 Chicago who had a press conference when he sobbed and then they like take part of your sentence that

00:14:09.460 also used the word sobbed. And they're like, well, he copied the word sobbed from Wikipedia. And it's

00:14:14.400 like, no, that's actually a word other people use. Yeah. It was crazily weak.

00:14:20.960 And, and the problem is guys that, um, you know, if we had used the word cried,

00:14:24.500 I'm sure somebody else had described or published an article saying he cried.

00:14:28.640 Right. Yeah. I mean, this is what's really happened is about two weeks ago, the New York

00:14:33.300 Times had a news piece on this. Uh, the Biden campaign has, has avoided trying to deal with

00:14:38.700 Ukraine and China. You've talked about it and reported on it extensively. I did in secret

00:14:43.700 empires. Their strategy was to ignore it. Uh, the problem is, um, that, that it's really captured

00:14:49.580 the interest of the American people. So they've gone on the attack and their approach is still

00:14:54.940 not to deal with the evidence. It's to attack the messenger. So, uh, they have tried these

00:15:00.120 scurrilous attacks. Um, the bottom line is they don't work. Um, people are interested in this

00:15:05.780 material. And as we've talked about before, Glenn, this is all follow the money. There's,

00:15:10.560 there's no conspiracy we're alleging here. There's no theory here. We have the money. We have the trips

00:15:16.440 on air force too. We have the, uh, Joe Biden policies. We have the Joe Biden favors. Now the people

00:15:22.640 have to look at the material and decide one of two things, Glenn, this is all just a crazy

00:15:27.920 coincidence, right? That, that Hunter got these deals that he didn't deserve. And that Joe Biden

00:15:32.720 did what he did. It's all just a coincidence or, uh, there was corruption at the highest levels here.

00:15:38.720 And I think most people that look at this, the vast majority of people say there's something amiss.

00:15:44.080 And the Biden team I think is in panic.

00:15:45.900 So I, I agree with you. And I think the, um, I think the whole DNC is in panic right now.

00:15:53.180 Yesterday it came out that, um, uh, Nancy Pelosi's son, uh, was hired as I think COO of this oil

00:16:01.100 company over in, um, Ukraine. And you know why they went to Pelosi's family? Cause she loves oil

00:16:07.360 companies, just loves them. Um, but he was actually a beard for a company for two owners of this company

00:16:14.400 that were, were, were, um, uh, known oligarchs, known, um, scam artists and criminals. They were

00:16:23.340 not supposed to be able to open their own company. And so he was running it kind of as a beard.

00:16:29.940 Well, I think she's panicked too. I think they're all panicking.

00:16:34.720 No, you're, you're exactly right, Glenn. I mean, if you look, I was listening to you earlier and you

00:16:38.760 were talking about the Clintons and you know, the foreign country that donated more to the Clinton

00:16:43.860 Foundation than anybody else was Ukraine. Joe Biden's son gets this sweetheart oil deal in

00:16:49.500 Ukraine. Nancy Pelosi's son is involved with this deal in Ukraine. Um, John Kerry's son.

00:16:55.960 Well, and, and, and here's the, yeah, here's the thing, Glenn is so, you know, we're all used to

00:17:00.680 seeing all these stories about how corrupt Ukraine is and it repels us. The problem is it has the 0.98

00:17:07.280 opposite effect on our political elites because they see it as an opportunity to self-enrich.

00:17:12.880 They see it as an opportunity for a quick payday in a way they could not get it in the United

00:17:17.820 States. They could not get it in Japan or England because it wouldn't be tolerated. And this is the

00:17:22.620 problem. China, the same way they're magnets for our political elite because they can do things

00:17:27.900 and get away with things they can't in other parts of the world. And, and, you know, as I talked

00:17:32.720 about in the New York times piece, this is a bipartisan problem. Um, but I got to tell you,

00:17:38.040 and I think the evidence is clear, uh, nobody has done this more systematically than Joe Biden when

00:17:43.520 he was vice president, his son had deals in China. He had deals in Ukraine. We know that in a money

00:17:49.720 he was drawing cash from Hunter Biden, there was money coming from Kazakhstan. There was money from

00:17:55.040 anonymous LLCs from Swiss bank accounts. Um, so there's a bigger, bigger story here. And what the

00:18:01.360 Biden's want to do is attack me or attack the New York times, um, John Solomon. Yes. John Solomon.

00:18:08.540 Absolutely. Excellent reporter. Excellent reporter. I deal with reporters from all kinds of mainstream

00:18:13.560 media outlets and they all know John Solomon and trust John Solomon. Then how come they're allowing,

00:18:19.940 um, even the New York times to smear John Solomon. John worked for the New York times. He worked for the

00:18:27.420 Washington post. He worked for associated press. He has outed people on both sides of the aisle.

00:18:32.960 He's won all kinds of awards. How come his colleagues aren't standing up and going, wait a

00:18:39.600 minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. John Solomon is not that guy. Yeah, no, it's a great question.

00:18:44.980 Look, I think that, uh, the New York times, um, there are all kinds of things going on there. Uh, I deal

00:18:50.920 with some reporters there and they are top flight reporters. Uh, but there are problems with other

00:18:56.100 reporters and with some of the editors in the, in the case of my piece that ran yesterday, this may

00:19:01.620 surprise a lot of people, but I, it was actually solicited by the New York times. They came to me

00:19:06.660 and said, would you write a piece relating to the secret empires book? You and I have talked about it

00:19:12.060 many times, Glenn, would you write a piece in the New York times book talking about the Bidens, give

00:19:16.120 another example from the other side and propose a solution. So they approached me and, you know,

00:19:21.560 everything that we do is fact checked internally. But when you submit a piece like that to the New

00:19:27.640 York times, they fact check it, it went through fact check. Everything was fine. So, you know,

00:19:33.200 my experience is there are times reporters that are really trying to cover this stuff. There are

00:19:39.660 other times reporters. It's like any news organization who are going to be more lazy or

00:19:43.780 they're going to do somebody's bidding. Uh, and that's what I think you're seeing. And what the Biden

00:19:48.000 letter from the campaign is intended to do is to try to basically push the management of the New

00:19:54.080 York times, uh, to silence these people that want to cover this story. That's, that's clearly what

00:19:59.620 their intention is. Not to mention intimidate other publications from allowing your work to be seen as

00:20:04.320 well. Exactly. And I will say too, you, you mentioned you put some, they asked for someone from the other

00:20:08.680 side, which you supplied, which was, uh, a person inside the Trump administration along with Mitch

00:20:14.120 McConnell and his wife, uh, Elaine Chao. And so you, you, you went into this, you have even in the

00:20:20.580 story they're complaining about, you went after both sides here. And your point being that this is

00:20:26.500 not illegal and that's the thing that needs to change. Exactly. I mean, it was funny. So another

00:20:31.500 one of the hit pieces against me was, uh, Jane Mayer of the New Yorker, um, which again has all this 0.87

00:20:37.040 ridiculous stuff in it. But one of the things she, she puts in there is that, you know, Schweitzer writes

00:20:41.600 this book, secret empires and really what he is, is just an opposition researcher. And I'm sitting

00:20:47.200 there thinking, I'm thinking, man, I must be a really stupid one because I go after Republicans 1.00

00:20:51.560 as well. So who actually am I doing opposition research on? And what I would say is I'm doing 0.99

00:20:58.380 opposition research on corruption. And that tends to be establishment political figures from both

00:21:03.860 sides of the aisle. Um, and, and you're exactly right. This is a problem that doesn't have a D or R

00:21:10.180 after its name. Uh, it has human after this name, but it goes to the basic roots. You guys talk about

00:21:16.000 this on the radio all the time. It goes to that basic part of the corruptible nature of man and

00:21:21.600 power its ability to corrupt people. And that's what we're seeing here. And they don't want people

00:21:26.200 discussing it. I can't believe that the, the Uber left is not joined this parade on Ukraine because

00:21:33.960 this takes down the, the democratic, uh, uh, leadership, the, the guys who are in this

00:21:42.900 institution forever. It takes apart the democratic national committee. It takes apart all of it.

00:21:48.420 And I can't believe that they're not grabbing onto this saying, this is why you need to vote 0.96

00:21:55.460 differently because these guys are corrupt. Why aren't they doing that?

00:22:00.560 Uh, great question, Glenn. I remember in 2016, um, you know, when I did Clinton cash and you and

00:22:06.660 I talked about it, uh, it got a lot of media attention, uh, New York times, et cetera, you

00:22:12.000 know, Bernie Sanders was reluctant for some reason to, to, you know, criticize Hillary Clinton on this

00:22:17.620 corruption. But if you followed his hardcore supporters on social media or on websites, they

00:22:24.240 were all over this material because they get it. I think what you're seeing with a lot of the,

00:22:29.180 um, candidates right now is they're jockeying. They're trying to figure out strategically what's

00:22:34.620 going to benefit them the most. Whereas their basis supporters, if you're an Elizabeth Warren

00:22:38.900 supporter or Bernie Sanders supporter, uh, a lot of them are true believers. Um, and, and I think

00:22:44.140 they are outraged and they are starting to speak up about this. And I think the Biden approach of just

00:22:49.620 saying, this is going to go away. If we just give it time is not true. I think the, the reporting

00:22:54.760 continues, the momentum on reporting continues, um, and that's not going to go away. And he's

00:23:00.300 going to have to address this. And the only way he's going to be able to address this, I think,

00:23:04.680 is to lay out precisely what went on. Um, and he's just not going to do that. Uh, he's been in,

00:23:10.020 in, you know, in a safe, uh, Senate seat for, you know, since 1972, then he was a vice president.

00:23:16.160 He's not used to being held into account. He never really had a serious challenger in Delaware.

00:23:20.900 Um, and so it's just running contrary to his nature to say, I've got to go out and be honest

00:23:26.660 and address this. That's he hasn't had to do that in more than 40 years.

00:23:30.200 So let me ask you about this. There's a, there is a new, um, uh, allegation that came out from

00:23:36.460 Ukraine yesterday, um, by a guy named Andrei Durkak. He is a Ukrainian MP. And he said that

00:23:47.060 he has documents and we're having one of these documents, the only one that's been released

00:23:51.580 translated. Even the, the, even the press that has printed these documents has not translated

00:23:58.080 for some reason. We have it in translation. I hope to have it by the end of the show,

00:24:02.340 but I think it's going to be this afternoon before we get it. Um, but he says these documents show

00:24:07.980 that Joe Biden, not only his son got a piece of $16.5 million, um, but Joe Biden himself was paid

00:24:18.380 $900,000 for his, his work for Burisma on behalf of Burisma. Have you ever heard that he got paid

00:24:27.780 directly? I mean, this is hard to believe because that's, I mean, that, that's, that is illegal.

00:24:36.340 It is. And, and I think it would be, you know, extremely reckless. I mean, look, Glenn, this is

00:24:41.780 the reason I think that, that president Trump was actually, it was very appropriate for him to say

00:24:47.160 the U S department of justice should work with Ukrainians to investigate this. The challenge

00:24:51.140 in Ukraine is. Who do you trust? Yes. It's extremely corrupt. I don't really know this

00:24:56.780 political figure. I don't know if those documents are accurate. I think exactly the way that you laid

00:25:01.960 it out is perfect. You've got to be kind of skeptical and say, this is hard to believe,

00:25:05.940 but this is why you need people over there. The, the, the notion that somehow the Ukrainians

00:25:11.560 should investigate this themselves to me is ludicrous. Um, they're, they're just not going

00:25:17.260 to be able to do it. And that's why we need people over there. Are these documents genuine? Are they

00:25:21.520 real? Are they made up? Uh, there's so much political theater in Ukraine, um, that I think we need

00:25:27.780 to be skeptical until we have actual people go over there. John Solomon's been trying to do this

00:25:34.100 go over there who are professionals who know this and say, look, I'm, I'm using various tests and

00:25:39.580 these documents appear to be genuine. So I think your, your, your tone and approach on this Glenn

00:25:44.140 is exactly right. Yeah. It's, it's a, one of those things where when something is too good to be true,

00:25:49.260 exactly, it usually is. Um, all right, Peter, thank you so much. Thank you for all of the work that

00:25:54.120 you've done. Um, I'd love to bring you down for a podcast where we could spend 90 minutes on what

00:25:59.760 you know, uh, and take us through all of that. But I, I thank you so much for everything that

00:26:04.400 you've done and keep your chin up. I know what it's like to be called a conspiracy theorist and

00:26:08.800 to have all of your good work just thrown out, um, and, and ridiculed by those in power.

00:26:52.100 Uh, Rudy Atala. He is the chief operating officer of the Nazarene fund. Um, he is, uh, he's a guy,

00:26:59.880 he's a native of Beirut, Lebanon, fluent in Arabic and French. He has had over 20 years in the United

00:27:06.500 States air force, um, special operations to intelligence and counter terrorism. He has

00:27:12.520 consulted presidents and we are thrilled that he has been our COO. And he's the guy who is sending

00:27:19.820 these rescue missions and putting them together and rescuing these people. Rudy, welcome to the

00:27:25.860 program. Uh, good morning. Thank you, Glenn. Thank you so much. You bet. I don't want to get into the

00:27:31.720 politics of this because I know it's split and it, we may even disagree on the politics of it.

00:27:38.600 I just want to talk about the human cost and what is going to happen and what our,

00:27:43.440 our responsibility, I believe for the people who choose to help their, you know, be a good Samaritan

00:27:50.540 and help the people, um, what we can do first, let's start with something I received last night,

00:27:58.500 these horrific pictures of these people that were in what looked like even the hallway of a hospital,

00:28:05.020 um, trying to be, um, cleaned up after a bombing. I was told both of them were dead. It's a mother

00:28:12.920 and a father and their children. The Nazarene fund had already saved them once from ISIS and then

00:28:21.160 moved them back into their houses. And I was told they were killed. You have a different story this

00:28:26.540 morning? Yes, sir. Actually, they, uh, they survived. They were, uh, critically wounded, um, uh, with the

00:28:33.340 bombings. Uh, the, uh, unfortunate thing is when, uh, when Turkey began its bombing, it's very targeted,

00:28:40.000 um, uh, against the, it's, it's, it's focused on the Kurds, but, uh, as we know, um, Christian families

00:28:46.620 live, uh, uh, in, in Kurdish areas. Many of them come from, uh, centuries, uh, you know, uh, of, uh,

00:28:54.840 you know, family lineage in the area. And this family, unfortunately, uh, was, was, uh, critically wounded.

00:29:01.120 Uh, we're getting, uh, the ground invasion just began, uh, in a four-pronged attack, uh, into northern

00:29:09.040 Syria. And, uh, the displacement as of this morning, we're, we're hearing that over a hundred

00:29:15.000 thousand people have, have already been displaced. And, uh, this number is going to continue to

00:29:20.420 increase. Um, uh, we're slowly getting, um, uh, feed from, uh, from our, some of our, our, uh,

00:29:27.360 our members on the ground. It's been very, very difficult, as you can tell from, uh, from the

00:29:32.320 bombings and the shellings to get this information. But, uh, so far a lot more people have been

00:29:38.080 wounded. We just don't have a very good tally on the numbers right now.

00:29:41.480 We have, when we have the video, we are just receiving new video. Uh, if we have the video

00:29:46.920 of, go ahead and roll this. This is a town that, uh, somebody appears to be standing on their roof

00:29:53.960 and they're showing that it's just everything around their town is on fire, uh, been bombed.

00:30:00.080 Um, they were safe. Uh, can you tell me a little bit about this video? Uh, Rudy, did you get it?

00:30:06.960 Yes. Yeah. Glenn, I just saw the video. This is coming from, uh, the town of Tal Abyad that's

00:30:12.620 in the north central, uh, region of Syria, uh, of northern Syria. And, um, you know, the person

00:30:19.440 that videotaped, this is videotaping the, uh, the, the different sections, uh, where the,

00:30:24.500 where the Turks are bombing. Uh, the Kurdish forces are not going to, uh, take this, uh,

00:30:30.020 laying down. They're going to actually fight. And the reason why the fighting is going to actually

00:30:34.720 happen is because back in January, 2018, the Turks, uh, went into the town of Afrin in Syria

00:30:43.720 and, and, uh, uh, cleansed over 200,000 Kurds. This was in January, 2018. So, so Kurdish forces

00:30:53.540 saw this and are not going to, uh, this time sit back and not be prepared. They are going to fight

00:30:59.980 to the death. So, um, these are not people, I, I wish we wouldn't have been in bed with

00:31:04.040 these particular Kurds. These are not the Iraqi Kurds who are very pro-democracy and freedom and 0.68

00:31:10.760 love America. These guys are really some, you know, they're, they're Marxist, uh, communists,

00:31:17.060 uh, kind of, you know, they're authoritarian. Um, and I don't like being in bed with them,

00:31:23.080 but still they fought against ISIS. They actually were guarding a lot of the ISIS members, which we

00:31:30.120 have taken apparently the worst of those ISIS people and got them out. So they're not, you know,

00:31:36.660 released back into the public, but that's one of the things the Kurds and the Christians, 1.00

00:31:40.760 and the Yazidis are afraid of is the, those gates are going to be opened, uh, from those 1.00

00:31:46.800 prison camps and they're all going to just disappear. Yes, that's correct. So what's going

00:31:53.560 to happen is as, as the Kurdish forces will be pressured, big camps like Al-Hol camp, uh, which

00:32:00.020 has houses right now, over 70,000, uh, prisoners, mainly the, uh, the women and children of ISIS

00:32:06.640 fighters, many of them very radicalized and have sworn to fight, uh, camps like Ayn Asa,

00:32:13.520 Roj, all of these camps now will be under a major duress because the Kurds will not be able to 0.93

00:32:19.080 maintain, uh, you know, guard over them and the likelihood, and actually Baghdadi last month, uh,

00:32:25.800 the, the, the leader of ISIS, uh, made a plea for his fighters to go in and rescue all these prisoners

00:32:33.040 and get them released. We are now already hearing of, of ISIS, uh, attacks where we're hearing of,

00:32:40.900 uh, uh, suicide attacks, uh, not unconfirmed yet, but I, I'm not surprised, I would not be surprised 0.98

00:32:47.480 if they start to show, um, you know, back when, when, uh, when ISIS was strong and they controlled,

00:32:55.060 uh, a good chunk of real estate in Northern Syria, many of the ISIS fighters were found,

00:33:01.320 uh, with, uh, with, uh, SIM cards from Turkey, their rear base, their, their support would come

00:33:07.640 from inside Turkey. Um, we know we shut down two organ harvesting, you know, quote hospitals,

00:33:15.880 um, and they were in Turkey. They were, they were helping harvest organs with ISIS, uh, and,

00:33:25.060 uh, you know, Turkey is Turkey is, she may be an ally in NATO, but it's not an ally. It's not,

00:33:33.080 they're on the wrong side. And if I'm not mistaken, I'd love you to correct this.

00:33:38.340 They want to reestablish the Ottoman empire. They want their land back, even from the Northern 0.98

00:33:45.240 Iraqi Kurds. They want to, um, they want to wipe out all Kurds and many of the Christians. 0.97

00:33:53.480 They don't want them there anymore. And Turkey has done this in the past. 0.88

00:34:00.060 Am I mistaken that we're looking at a, a genocide?

00:34:04.640 Yes, I would call it an ethnocide, but yes, you're correct. And the reason why is because 1.00

00:34:10.360 the current president of Turkey is a card carrying member of the Muslim brotherhood. 0.78

00:34:15.620 And when the Muslim brotherhood was established in the early part of the 20th century, the view

00:34:21.420 from Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim brotherhood is to return to what he calls pan-Arabism

00:34:28.540 and pan-Islamism, basically a control. Uh, when, when Islam had conquered all the way up to the end of 0.94

00:34:36.020 the Ottoman empire in the beginning of the 20th century, it had a large real estate in North Africa

00:34:42.000 across the Middle East into a good chunk of Europe. And, and, and, and the idea of behind

00:34:48.380 the Muslim brotherhood is basically to return to this pan, pan-Arabism. And that's the foundation 1.00

00:34:55.660 of it. Um, the current president of Turkey holds these views in his mind. So what he's talking about

00:35:03.740 right now is, is, is repatriating a lot of the refugees that are inside Turkey into Northern Syria

00:35:10.220 and creating that buffer zone. Unfortunately, most people don't understand that what he really wants

00:35:16.000 to do is he wants to rid of Northern Syria of any presence of Christians or Kurds and replace them 1.00

00:35:23.020 with Arabs, Sunni Arabs that have the same mindset. Because only 17 to 20% of the refugees currently

00:35:30.960 in Syria are, I mean, in Turkey are Syrian Arabs that are Sunnis. So he's not going to have a lot 0.99

00:35:39.220 of refugees to work with. And he's going to have to replace the rest of these gaps with other people.

00:35:45.120 Okay. Rudy, you and I have talked to many of these Christians in the past. They've wanted to stay in 1.00

00:35:51.500 the area because they don't want to abandon the, the birthplace in many cases of Christianity. The,

00:35:57.980 you know, where the apostles actually set up the actual church that they attend. Um, and they don't

00:36:04.760 want to, they don't want to abandon it. Uh, I have a feeling what's coming now. They're going to be

00:36:11.420 willing to say, I gotta, I gotta get out of here. We got to get our families out of here.

00:36:16.340 Yes. Um, this is, am I overstating it to say the problem may be worse than it was before,

00:36:25.320 and we have to get these people out? Yes, it's, it can become a lot worse and we need to help every

00:36:33.700 single one of them. And the reason why is they're going to get pushed into areas that are predominantly

00:36:39.520 dominated by, uh, Iranian backed militias, which are just as bad as, as ISIS. And then we can see 0.87

00:36:47.480 a resurgence of ISIS. So they would be indiscriminately targeted because of their

00:36:51.860 Christian faith. And, and, and sadly enough, as you mentioned, we would lose a lot of those

00:36:58.260 Judeo-Christian, uh, areas that, that, that have been there for centuries that hold basically the,

00:37:04.680 the, you know, the, the historical data of, of our, our heritage of where we originally came from,

00:37:11.180 like, you know, the tomb of Jonah, the tomb of Nahum, and all these, all these very special old

00:37:16.680 places that you read in the old Testament. So, and these Christian, these Christian families are,

00:37:21.920 are, are, you know, we, we talked, I was, uh, in, in Iraq with my team, uh, not even a month and a

00:37:28.480 half ago. And, uh, we were talking to 684 Syrian Christian families that were crying. They wanted to

00:37:36.260 return back to Syria, but they could not because, you know, the infrastructure was taken away from them.

00:37:41.540 They can't even work. Now we're going to see even more Christians leave from inside Syria. And all 1.00

00:37:48.180 of them are going to be pushed into neighboring countries like, you know, Iraq, like Jordan,

00:37:53.320 like Lebanon, which are already at the, at the brink of maximum capability for, to help refugees.

00:38:00.560 So they don't have, they don't have the infrastructure to take in more refugees. Uh, the medical capabilities 1.00

00:38:06.780 are not there. So what the Nazarene fund is doing is we are finding these families. We are helping

00:38:12.580 them stand on our two feet. Uh, we're working with the government of Australia and we're looking for

00:38:17.760 other governments to take them in. We're trying to give them a new lease on life. Many of them are

00:38:22.380 professionals. A lot of these Christians, uh, are, are professionals, doctors, lawyers, engineers,

00:38:28.540 very well-educated people. All they care about is raising their families properly,

00:38:33.360 but they're not allowed to work in many of these countries. I had a woman,

00:38:37.960 she looked at me and was crying. She said, I'm a, I'm a professional teacher. I ran a school

00:38:42.700 in Damascus, Syria. I can't return right now because it's so dangerous for me and my family.

00:38:48.200 She said, I'm, I'm stuck scrubbing toilets from, from eight o'clock in the morning to five o'clock

00:38:52.840 at night. She said, I'm not ashamed to do it. I received $5 a day for it. And she said,

00:38:58.420 I'm not allowed to work as a teacher because I'm a Christian.

00:39:01.180 And what's amazing is most of these people will do those jobs and they would do those for the rest

00:39:05.720 of their life, but their lives are being cut short now. And this is a real problem. Please join us.

00:39:12.260 Please join us. Nazarenefund.org. Help us. We need your support now. The Nazarenefund.org.

00:39:20.160 We've got to move these Christians out. They're going to get slaughtered. Um, the Nazarenefund.org. 1.00

00:39:50.360 Okay. Last week we did a chalkboard. It is the,

00:39:54.780 the most watched video. The blaze has ever produced in 10 years. Um, it is,

00:40:02.020 it's watched on YouTube and Facebook as well. Uh, it is hard to find. However, uh,

00:40:08.700 it's almost like it's being suppressed. If you want to find this chalkboard,

00:40:13.080 go to YouTube and the Glenn Beck page and search for Ukraine scandal explained Ukraine scandal

00:40:20.420 explained, and it should pop up. And it's a edited 50 minute version of the chalkboard.

00:40:26.880 A lot of the reporting that we got and, and the evidence that we have on that chalkboard came from

00:40:32.760 John Solomon, who has been relentless on Ukraine. And we have a ton of questions and John, normally we

00:40:39.640 kind of meander and I'd like to, I've, I've literally have two and a half pages of questions.

00:40:43.620 I'd like to get to, uh, quickly. How are you? I'm doing well. Thanks for having me on today.

00:40:50.440 Okay. So first of all, thank you for everything you've done. Thank you for the bullets that you

00:40:55.140 are taking. I know what it's like to have your life's work just discredited and your, and everything

00:41:01.100 called into question, even though you have the goods, um, and, uh, you'll make it through it and

00:41:07.240 you're going to come out as a hero in this story, I believe. Well, the great thing is, uh, I don't

00:41:11.980 really want to be a hero. I just, uh, the good thing about journalism is facts are a stubborn

00:41:15.780 thing. Yep. And I think when people look at the facts and they get rid of the spin and the personal

00:41:20.280 ad hominem attacks that don't have any basis, you focus on the facts. There are a lot of troubling

00:41:24.860 questions and I'm sure you're going to ask me a lot of them today. Yeah. Well, so, um, Devin Nunes

00:41:30.380 is just revealed that they were looking into a report of strange requests, uh, to use government

00:41:36.460 resources to monitor journalists over there. And we have to be cautious because sometimes those are

00:41:42.620 okay. Sometimes they're not. Do you have any new information on this? Well, I can tell you what

00:41:49.360 happened. Uh, you know, I was listening with interest when, when Congressman Nunes made those

00:41:53.840 comments last night, about 10 days ago, I received, uh, some communications from, uh, the intelligence

00:42:00.120 community from sources I had there. And they said to me that there, there was going to be a revelation

00:42:05.160 soon about some inappropriate monitoring of my communications. Now they weren't more specific

00:42:10.360 than that. Uh, so, uh, that's really all I've had for the last 10 days. And, you know, I let my

00:42:15.260 lawyers know, and we're just going to wait and see if an actual notification comes forward. And then we

00:42:21.000 heard, you know, Congressman Nunes last night, what he's talked about was very similar to the, to the

00:42:25.920 information, the intelligence community sources were telling me over the last 10 days. It sounds like

00:42:31.860 from what we know that, um, uh, the U S embassy in Kiev, uh, may have been monitoring a handful of

00:42:39.740 journalist communications. Now they might be public communications like our Twitter accounts and our,

00:42:44.500 you know, our interviews, or they might've been private. We don't know that. Um, there are very

00:42:49.220 specific rules in the state department and the intelligence community governing this. And it sounds

00:42:54.180 like Congressman Nunes wants to find out whether those rules are complied with or not, whether this was

00:42:58.960 inappropriate or inappropriate monitoring of communications. And, and as I learned a long

00:43:03.540 time ago, this is my first time I, in 2002, the FBI similarly, uh, or actually inappropriately

00:43:10.840 intercepted my mail without a warrant and kept it in an effort to keep me from writing about stories

00:43:15.400 about what had happened before nine 11. It just took a while to get to the truth. And I think we need

00:43:19.780 to be patient. There, there seems to be a red flag here, but we don't have all the facts. Okay.

00:43:24.320 I want to be careful and patient. Let's go get the facts and we'll find out what happened.

00:43:27.100 We have, um, the ambassador, uh, uh, Yovanovitch testifying before the house. Um, do you believe

00:43:34.940 she may be involved in any of this or just, if you just don't know, you don't know, are we going to

00:43:41.500 get anything? Do you believe, uh, new on whether she gave the Ukrainians the do not prosecute list

00:43:48.460 and why she didn't grant visas to the prosecutors who said they had evidence on Biden and collusion

00:43:55.300 between the DNC and the Ukrainian embassy? All right. I think she's a very important witness

00:44:00.540 and I look forward to finding out what she has to say. Um, what we do know, uh, first of all,

00:44:06.660 the monitoring, usually such monitoring, if it was done out of an embassy would have to be authorized

00:44:11.180 by the ambassador under the normal rules. We don't know if that happened here yet, right? We could have

00:44:16.220 just some rogue agents. So let's wait and see, but the normal processes for the, would be for the

00:44:20.880 ambassador to authorize such a request. So let's wait and see what she says tomorrow. We'll learn

00:44:24.700 more tomorrow on the do not prosecute list. This is one of my favorite red hearings. Um, the,

00:44:31.080 those who now conspire, uh, excuse me of weaving a conspiracy theory, say, uh, a Ukraine prosecutor

00:44:37.620 Lucentko, the general prosecutor, the attorney general of Ukraine at the time, get an on-camera

00:44:41.580 interview. It isn't in dispute. He said it. And he said that, uh, in his first meeting with

00:44:46.000 ambassador Yovanovitch in 2016, uh, she gave him a series of names of people. She did not want,

00:44:53.100 uh, to be prosecuted. That was a sensational claim. And so I did the interview in February.

00:44:57.280 I spent an entire month checking it out before I actually allowed the interview to run that

00:45:02.140 doesn't get mentioned in any of these stories attacking me during that one month time. Here

00:45:06.680 is what I was able to do to corroborate what the, uh, Ukrainian prosecutor general had said to me.

00:45:12.580 First, the state department and the Ukrainians both gave me a copy of the same letter. It's an

00:45:18.280 April, 2016 letter. It clearly shows the embassy in Kiev instructing, pressuring, ordering the

00:45:25.640 prosecutor general's office not to pursue an ongoing investigation of a George Soros funded group

00:45:32.320 called ANTAC, the anti, uh, the anti-corruption action center of Ukraine. It's a George Soros group.

00:45:39.360 It's funded partly by Soros, partly by the state department. That letter unequivocally shows in

00:45:45.360 writing that the state department pressured Ukraine not to pursue an entity. In addition,

00:45:51.380 the state department, uh, put a senior U S official on background for me prior to my, uh, writing the

00:45:58.480 story. And I gave him the names and said, these are the names that prosecutor general Lusenko said

00:46:03.520 came up in the meeting as people that the U S did not want to see prosecuted. And that senior

00:46:08.300 official said to me, and I have the quotes right in front of me. I actually had them ready just in

00:46:12.260 case you asked me about this. I can confirm to you that U S embassy Kiev mentioned several of those

00:46:18.440 names during conversations in 2016 with the prosecutor general's office and other law enforcement

00:46:24.260 agencies that we did not want to see those people harassed, investigated, or prosecuted. So

00:46:30.300 the state department confirmed it. There was written letters showing such pressure being applied.

00:46:36.140 And now the media and, and their defenders are trying to claim that that's a bogus story. It's

00:46:42.100 not, it's been corroborated. It's been confirmed. And I hope tomorrow ambassador Yovanovitch will

00:46:46.940 honestly answer what went on in that meeting. I got news for you. I don't think she is because

00:46:51.380 she's instrumental in the corruption. She would be incriminating herself on a lot of things. Would 1.00

00:46:57.200 she not? Well, you know, listen, I, I, she probably is carrying out what she thought was

00:47:01.260 the policy of the United States or certainly her best effort at it. That doesn't mean it was right

00:47:05.380 or wrong. I, but I think just getting the fact based out there, where the Ukrainians telling us

00:47:09.620 the truth, it appears they were based on my reporting. Let's wait and see what she has to say.

00:47:14.460 Are you as, are you as solid on her not granting visas to the Ukrainian prosecutors

00:47:20.940 that claim to have evidence of the Bidens and collusion between the DNC and the Ukrainian

00:47:25.700 embassy? And she, under the Obama administration, refused entrance to those people? 0.98

00:47:32.520 So my understanding is that this, these, um, uh,

00:47:36.780 Oh, geez, you're breaking up. You're breaking up. No. 0.96

00:47:41.980 Only, uh, so what happened was, uh, a lot of people think that this all started with Rudy

00:47:46.600 Giuliani going around Ukraine and saying, giving me dirt. It actually started much earlier.

00:47:51.260 First in, in May of 2018, more than a year and a half ago, uh, Congressman went to Ukraine,

00:47:59.480 came back deeply disturbed. Okay. Hang on, hang on. Are you moving into a different room

00:48:04.060 or pacing or anything? Cause we're losing you. Uh, I don't think so. No. All right. Hang on

00:48:08.400 just a second. Let's, uh, let me take a quick break. Cause I don't want to miss a single word

00:48:12.340 on this. Let's take a quick break. Have our engineers look at this, see if we can get a better

00:48:15.240 connection. All right. We have him now on a different line and a different phone. Uh,

00:48:20.080 John Solomon, uh, we were talking about, uh, the prosecutors at the embassy. Did she refuse

00:48:28.060 visas, um, to let these prosecutors come in and work with the DOJ?

00:48:33.340 So there were three waves of concerns expressed by Ukrainian authorities, including the prosecutors

00:48:39.880 and other officials. May of 2018, then house rules committee chairman, Pete Sessions, a Republican

00:48:46.080 from Texas, one of the most powerful chairman in all of Congress at the time, he made a trip over

00:48:51.140 to Ukraine. He came back and he wrote a letter to the brand new secretary of state, Mike Pompeo and

00:48:56.080 said, I have heard some deeply troubling reports from both Ukrainians and Americans that our

00:49:02.060 ambassador is bad mouthing president Trump. And I think you should recall her. That was the first

00:49:07.100 time that Ukrainians on the ground raised the concern that they were, uh, they saw the ambassador

00:49:13.260 engaged in inappropriate behavior, interfering in investigations, that sort of stuff. A few months

00:49:18.900 passed, nothing happened. So the Ukrainian prosecutors under Lusenko, uh, the career people, not,

00:49:24.720 not Lusenko, the political figure at the top, but career people downstream from them. They hired an

00:49:29.780 American lawyer. This is in the October, November timeframe of 2018. They went out of the way. They

00:49:35.740 hired a former U S attorney here in the United States, and they gave him a packet of information

00:49:42.100 of things that they thought were going wrong. One was the prosecutor, uh, the ambassador was

00:49:46.340 interfering in Ukrainian internal affairs, like telling us who we could prosecute, not prosecute to that

00:49:51.320 Joe Biden had fired a prosecutor who was investigating his son's company, Burisma. And three, there is

00:49:57.840 some significant evidence. And there's about to be a court ruling in Ukraine. This is in the fall of

00:50:02.400 18. There's about to be a court ruling that Ukraine inappropriately interfered in the U S election in

00:50:08.140 2016. We'd like to get all this information to the justice department, that U S attorney, a Republican

00:50:14.440 Republican reached out to the U S attorney's office in New York and provided that information.

00:50:19.460 The reason they hired that U S attorney was that they had tried on their own to get visas to come

00:50:25.340 to the United States. And the embassy was telling them they would not process the request. They were

00:50:29.500 just sitting there on process. So they wouldn't reject them. They wouldn't approve them. And so they

00:50:33.700 were in limbo. And so they hired this lawyer, uh, to go provide that information to the U S attorney in,

00:50:39.120 um, New York. I confirmed with that U S attorney. He did in fact convey that information. He was in

00:50:45.140 fact hired. They were in fact not getting their visas. So an American confirms this story from

00:50:49.680 the Ukrainians. Okay. So, and then we go ahead, go ahead. And then we fast forward. The third wave 0.99

00:50:54.600 is when eventually Lusenko, the boss of these, um, uh, career prosecutors in Ukraine, the attorney

00:51:01.500 general of Ukraine, they call the prosecutor general. He reaches out to me and agrees to do an

00:51:06.140 interview. And he says on the record, uh, what had happened, both, you know, confirming what Pete

00:51:11.020 Sessions said, confirming what the prosecutors had done in the fall and, and, you know, legitimately

00:51:15.740 raising concerns, which is when we have a diplomat on our, our soil in Ukraine, their job is not to

00:51:21.380 tell us what to do in our internal affairs to make, you know, deal with American policy, but not to tell

00:51:25.920 us who we can and can't prosecute on our own soil. And so three waves over, over a year, all under

00:51:31.800 president Trump, all efforts to get information to the United States that they thought was troubling

00:51:36.660 and all before Rudy Giuliani ever got on the ground in, in Ukraine. So did we get to those,

00:51:42.860 those documents? Did that ever come and whatever happened to it?

00:51:47.340 Uh, that's a great question. Well, uh, the, uh, I spoke to the U S attorney, the lawyer who was hired.

00:51:53.340 He says he did in fact give a general summary of what they had and then offered to get them all the

00:51:58.720 documents, all the underlying documents that would validate or confirm that summary in the U S attorney's

00:52:04.040 office in New York, never responded with interest, never asked for the documents. Basically it died

00:52:09.000 with the first, uh, letter that was sent over. So, uh, it does not look like the U S justice department

00:52:15.020 under Donald Trump was very interested in it because they could have at least gotten the documents.

00:52:18.920 So what did I do? I went and tried to get those documents and I got many of them, uh, like the

00:52:23.860 letter I told you about the do not prosecute letter, uh, like the, uh, bank record showing how

00:52:28.860 much Hunter Biden was paid. I went and got those myself and I spent months and months validating

00:52:34.440 them with sources, both on the American and U S side. And when I would have two or three sources

00:52:39.280 saying that is an accurate document, yes, I can confirm that happened. Then I proceeded in writing

00:52:43.680 my stories. All right. Um, a Ukrainian lawmaker who I've not heard about has just announced that he

00:52:50.800 has documents that Joe Biden was personally paid $900,000 for lobbying activities for Burisma.

00:52:58.220 He claims the documents back this up. Um, it seems like one of those things that is too good to be

00:53:05.320 true. We don't know who this guy, I don't know who this guy is. Do you, and have you heard this?

00:53:12.120 And is there any truth to this or possibility that it's true? It's come up many times in my

00:53:18.040 conversations with the Ukrainians. Uh, the problem for me as a reporter and get, it's a sensational 1.00

00:53:22.760 thing. It'd be a wonderful thing to report, you know, and make famous if it were true, but it's

00:53:26.760 not true. Right. And here's how I know it's not true. I have the internal, uh, accounting registers

00:53:33.300 of you, of, uh, Burisma. I was able to get them from a source. They were validated by Burisma

00:53:38.380 corporate officials. They show every transaction the company ever made. There is no transaction listed in

00:53:45.020 that, um, uh, accounting ledger and in any of the financial books or any of the wires that I also

00:53:52.320 been able to get, uh, showing a payment to Joe Biden. So I don't give much credence that lawmaker

00:53:57.480 is very closely aligned to Russia. So it could be Russian misinformation or propaganda. I will say

00:54:03.280 many people have alleged that on the ground, there's a rumor that has long been on Ukraine, but

00:54:07.620 I always stay in the form of, of, of what's in the fact. And what I can tell you is the amount of

00:54:13.140 money that goes to Hunter Biden's company is a lot more than what Joe Biden and Hunter Biden say.

00:54:18.020 If you look at the press reports of the last year, there's this number that keeps coming up that

00:54:22.940 Hunter Biden only got $50,000 a month. Now only is a lot of money, 50,000 is a lot of money, right?

00:54:28.320 That's a big chunk of change. The problem with that account is that it greatly under, uh,

00:54:33.180 underestimates or, uh, greatly, uh, diminishes how much money really was flowing to Hunter Biden,

00:54:39.280 this company. I have put into the public domain, uh, the corporate records of Rosemont Seneca.

00:54:44.740 How did I get them? I got them from the FBI in America. They had seized them in another case.

00:54:49.440 I was able to obtain them from the court file for, from the period of 2014 and 2015, you can see from

00:54:55.640 May, 2014 through the end of 2015, regular payments totaling more than 166,000 every month going to

00:55:04.040 Rosemont Seneca from Burisma, usually in two payments, 83,000, three 33, twice. It's highly

00:55:11.320 likely that those payments were one for one was for Hunter Biden. And the other was for his business

00:55:17.540 partner, Devin Archer, both who got put on the board. Now that's unusual. One American company

00:55:21.940 having two board members, uh, raises a question about independence of the board, right? But there's

00:55:27.620 at least that much money. Some months you can see as much as $220,000 going to Rosemont Seneca.

00:55:33.600 That is a lot more than 50,000. All right. Let me do not know what that money was for. It's

00:55:38.780 marked in the ledger as consulting payments. So that would mean these board members were also

00:55:44.360 paying themselves consulting fees. That is why the Ukrainians wanted this to be investigated in 0.68

00:55:49.440 America, not under Ukrainian law. They wanted Americans to look at it and find out what was

00:55:53.660 going on with the money. All right. Tell me about Nancy Pelosi's son. He apparently was also,

00:56:00.200 um, I think a COO of an oil company over in Ukraine. Do you have anything on that?

00:56:07.700 I don't, I don't have much visibility on that. I've seen the reports. Um, I think there's a much

00:56:13.520 more interesting story emerging, uh, in the next few weeks. I would keep an eye in the next month on

00:56:19.340 the office of special counsel, not to be confused with Robert Mueller's special prosecutor's office.

00:56:23.720 This is a career office and it's where whistleblowers traditionally go when they, when they have

00:56:29.600 evidence of wrongdoing. I am seeing pretty substantial evidence that the OSC is, is, has an

00:56:35.440 ongoing investigation into multiple energy companies in Ukraine and the possibility that

00:56:42.000 the Obama administration created erroneous records that allowed more money to flow to those energy

00:56:48.460 companies than what that they were entitled to get at the time. I, that case is still unwinding,

00:56:53.100 but I think we could see a lot of people involved in that case. Wow. The blaze radio network

00:56:58.480 on demand.
