00:01:43.460 gotten underway and they'll be working all through the weekend oh my gosh um we'll talk a little bit

00:01:50.680 about that but i want to concentrate right away at the beginning about what's happening in virginia

00:01:55.800 and this is getting very little coverage when it does get coverage i think it's mostly distorted

00:02:02.140 what a surprise the left is trying to make constitutionalists look like radicals and this

00:02:09.100 is something that is very important that you know in advance what's happening so you can calm your

00:02:17.740 friends down and explain what's happening to your friends i believe virginia what happens in virginia

00:02:24.620 good or bad um may be the example and the path for the rest of the the country and we are keeping

00:02:36.080 and a strong eye on it and real prayers for the people of virginia i'll explain and we have cam

00:02:43.540 edwards uh on with us the co-host of 40 acres and a fool on the blaze we have him next in one minute

00:05:05.760 co-host of uh 40 acres and a fool that you can find on blaze tv um cam virginia i think is a

00:05:16.640 uh i don't know a proving ground of something and both the left and the right uh have something 0.85

00:05:25.140 to prove the right is looking for their constitutional rights to be protected uh by the government and

00:05:33.780 they are being they're being disenfranchised and everybody i've talked to in virginia says the same

00:05:39.780 thing it's our fault the the republicans didn't get out the vote and the republicans screwed things up

00:05:46.640 and so this is our fault however there's a power grab going in and they've done three done three

00:05:53.800 things the electoral college they're basically abolishing it uh uh you know once the democrats

00:06:01.700 got power then they've changed the rules on impeachment for the governor it used to be 10

00:06:07.000 percent of the population uh needed to sign uh you know sign a petition and then they would go forward

00:06:13.580 with an impeachment uh but now strangely for some unknown reason they move that number up to 25

00:06:20.640 percent of the population and they're going after guns in every way they can uh this is shaking

00:06:28.200 the constitutionalists in virginia am i missing anything on this no i think you you've hit it glenn

00:06:37.240 i mean i i i think that one of the reasons why you're seeing this incredible outpouring on the part of

00:06:42.540 gun owners in virginia uh is because you know when republicans were in charge of the state i've heard a lot

00:06:48.640 of people say you know we never did anything like this uh and so there are a lot of virginians who

00:06:52.760 are i think they were perplexed now they're angry uh at how the the the democrats want to fundamentally

00:07:00.660 remake this state uh based on you know ultimately a fairly narrow victory uh in the november elections

00:07:09.200 a a swing of you know 10 000 votes across the entire state and some of these legislative races

00:07:14.200 uh would have completely changed the outcome of this election but democrats are acting as if they

00:07:19.060 have this incredible mandate majority behind them and and they are trying to turn virginia into

00:07:25.460 east california or south new york uh and virginia gun owners are are speaking up and standing up in

00:07:32.100 opposition so cam is it just gun owners or is it are there people there that are seeing

00:07:41.040 this government in virginia have a true power grab and they're looking at their constitutional rights

00:07:49.880 uh of the second amendment as you know according to the declaration of independence government is

00:07:55.840 established uh by man to protect those rights and when it starts to you know be the the main problem

00:08:04.560 with those rights the people have a right and a responsibility to alter or abolish it and the only

00:08:12.060 way you abolish it or alter it there's two ways election uh and god forbid the last way to do it is 0.92

00:08:20.620 with your second amendment right so what is is is this is this just about the gun or is this about

00:08:31.680 a power grab i think it very much started out being about guns and and the the second amendment

00:08:39.220 issue and the gun control agenda from ralph northam has sucked up a lot of the oxygen in the room

00:08:43.420 but now that the legislative session has started you're right there are more people who are waking

00:08:48.300 up to some of the other really truly awful bills that are being proposed here in virginia

00:08:52.740 and they do see this i think as as a broader power grab so i i think that the spark uh were those

00:09:00.820 virginia gun owners the second amendment sanctuary committees that that you and i have talked about

00:09:04.960 in the past but but now it is i think becoming a a broader opposition to the uh entire agenda of the

00:09:13.140 democrats that are now in control in virginia so i had a guest on yesterday that said to me that

00:09:17.900 i think he said 90 out of 95 counties or 90 out of 95 cities something along that um have gone

00:09:27.480 been uh against and said we're going to be a sanctuary city is that number accurate i mean

00:09:32.920 how big is this movement yeah it is accurate uh i believe it's 91 out of the 95 counties in virginia

00:09:42.660 and then we have over 40 cities and towns that have also passed these resolutions i think you know

00:09:50.220 across the entire state i think we're up to 136 communities the vast majority of which are counties

00:09:55.600 but also include some of the state's biggest cities glenn chesapeake virginia virginia beach

00:10:00.240 uh they both passed for a second amendment resolution so this isn't even just a a rural versus urban thing

00:10:06.020 uh this is you know the the the vast majority of the land area and i believe uh now we're up to like

00:10:13.280 you know 60 percent of the population of virginia now lives in a second amendment sanctuary community so

00:10:17.920 this is a a much broader movement i think than most of the media is uh is giving it credit for

00:10:23.360 what part of the population lives um in the northern virginia you know crystal city arlington

00:10:31.480 that that whole i don't know which county that is i can't remember now yeah arlington county fairfax

00:10:37.320 county like the northern virginia area is massive now and for people who don't understand how big dc

00:10:42.940 has become you know the the suburbs and exurbs of washington dc now stretch for 50 miles in every

00:10:49.280 direction i mean it is a it is a megalopolis right it is it is it's an affront to everything this

00:10:56.200 country stood for there's no reason for all of these companies and everything else to base their

00:11:02.460 operations except for lobbying in the nation's capital but so what is the percentage of population

00:11:09.680 of of virginia that is actually just a suburb of washington dc it's a pretty good chunk i mean i'd say

00:11:17.880 we're looking at close to a quarter maybe a little bit more uh fairfax county virginia alone has nearly

00:11:23.440 two million residents uh arlington county virginia which is one county over closer to dc they've got

00:11:29.460 nearly a million residents uh prince william county which is just to the south they've got about 800

00:11:34.680 000 residents so it is a really big chunk of the state's population so if those numbers are true

00:11:40.060 you're talking about 30 percent of the population uh and you said 60 percent of the population is now

00:11:48.100 in a sanctuary county or city that only leaves 10 percent and you know that that's it's remarkable

00:11:56.160 that 30 percent of the population is is you know tyranny of the minority exactly and and so you know 0.98

00:12:05.340 what's fascinating glenn is that you know you talk about elections and using the ballot box

00:12:09.360 and i've never seen voters as engaged as they are right now i think that it's going to have a huge

00:12:15.160 impact in 2020 but i'm also seeing some some really unique suggestions there's actually a group of

00:12:21.840 lawmakers in west virginia that are proposing to allow counties in virginia to be annexed by the state

00:12:28.700 of west virginia and i talked with a delegate gary howell in west virginia yesterday and they're serious

00:12:32.860 about this they can look there's no reason why these counties in virginia should be subjected to

00:12:37.660 the whims of the minority in northern virginia they have much more in common with west virginia

00:12:41.980 let's let them leave peacefully if they if they can if the general assembly will allow it so

00:12:47.420 you actually have other lawmakers in other states trying to you know diffuse the tensions here by

00:12:53.720 by changing the borders of the state that's insane i mean this this hasn't been talked about for

00:13:00.920 you know since the civil war we haven't talked about these kinds of things it's insane what's going

00:13:07.160 on and the left you know the left knows there there are two things that could lead to civil war according

00:13:14.960 to a study by the by the democrats there are two things that could lead to a violent civil war one

00:13:22.120 the impeachment and removal of donald trump um before the election to taking away of the the uh second amendment

00:13:33.040 and taking away people's right to bear arms they're doing both of those and they're doing it full throttle

00:13:40.760 well i don't i mean it's it's almost intentional

00:13:45.060 i i i've had those same concerns uh and i've been so bitterly disappointed in our governor glenn i gotta tell you

00:13:54.100 you know he came out and talked about the need for a civil conversation and let's have this fact-based

00:13:59.040 discussion i reached out to the governor's office on multiple occasions asking him to sit down with me

00:14:04.160 on bearing arms cam and company for a civil discussion let's talk to gun owners talk with gun

00:14:09.760 owners instead of talking down to them uh i didn't even get a response back from the governor's press

00:14:13.980 secretary the governor has no interest in actually having a conversation with the people that he's

00:14:20.580 trying to disarm he wants us to sit down to shut up to be quiet and it's just not going to happen

00:14:25.860 well here's what i'm concerned about cam uh the way he has approached this whole thing

00:14:31.580 has poured accelerant uh i mean this isn't this is this is arson um and i want to talk to you about

00:14:39.620 that the way he has positioned the people of virginia that are just they just want to stand up for the

00:14:48.460 constitution how he's positioning them as radicals revolutionaries and nazis and i i want to get your

00:14:56.100 opinion on what it feels like on the ground is if if that is an accurate view from halfway across the

00:15:03.020 country back with uh cam edwards here in uh just a second and by the way you can follow him um at

00:15:10.360 cam edwards you can find his website bearingarms.com uh and you of course can see his podcast 40 acres and

00:16:39.700 10 percent carshield.com 10 seconds station id

00:16:44.520 so i want to give the governor of virginia the benefit of the doubt because i'm not a citizen of

00:17:02.720 virginia and i'm not seeing it uh as a citizen and i'm not local but when when i heard him talk about

00:17:12.240 we've got to declare a state of an emergency because nazis are coming um and there are all kinds of death

00:17:20.620 threats i understand that there might be but he didn't specifically point out that most of the people

00:17:28.940 in virginia that believe in the second amendment are god-fearing uh you know law-abiding citizens

00:17:36.560 that are just they may have a different opinion than the governor on what the constitution says

00:17:43.660 and to me that seemed like accelerant is that the way it feels in virginia

00:17:50.760 i i think yes i i i do think that there are a lot of folks who believe that uh governor northam is

00:17:58.120 pouring gas onto the fire and that by invoking charlottesville uh and what happened in charlottesville

00:18:04.800 trying to portray this event that's happening on monday uh as you know some sort of violent

00:18:10.540 insurrection when it is not it is lobby day glenn it's a chance for tens of thousands of virginians

00:18:16.100 to go to the capitol to lobby their lawmakers tell me what lobby day is is that a is that a

00:18:21.040 is that a virginia tradition or yeah yeah it's sort of an annual event uh and it's generally held on

00:18:27.820 martin luther king day because it's a state holiday and so people can get off of work and go down to

00:18:32.160 the capitol and talk to lawmakers and you know in years past you might have 800 maybe a thousand gun

00:18:37.880 owners there pretty good turnout uh but this year because of the gun control agenda you know it's

00:18:42.760 expected that there are going to be tens of thousands of these virginians and and look glenn i

00:18:47.800 want to make it clear anytime that there's a a movement that becomes really popular you do see

00:18:53.240 people on the fringes try to grab onto that movement and use it for their own purposes yeah so am i

00:18:58.980 concerned about people trying to turn this into uh something uh you know that that it is not

00:19:05.280 absolutely am i concerned that there are going to be people who will try to you know use this event

00:19:09.300 to seize the spotlight for their own purposes yeah i am but but 99.9 percent of the people who

00:19:15.020 are going to be there on monday at the state capitol i believe are going to be the same virginians that

00:19:19.860 showed up at their county supervisors meetings at their city council meetings uh to advocate in

00:19:24.580 support of their rights and they're going to do so peacefully they're not interested in starting a war

00:19:29.160 they're not interested but they are interested in defending their constitutional rights they're

00:19:33.120 interested in ensuring that their children have the same liberties that they have uh and they're

00:19:38.660 going to be using their voice and um you know it is it is it is a shame i'm going to be speaking

00:19:44.140 at rally day or at the lobby day on monday and i can tell you uh there's going to be a cross section

00:19:49.740 of virginia there you know it all races colors and creeds but the one thing they're going to have in

00:19:55.560 common uh is their support for individual liberty for individual freedom uh and and for our right to

00:20:02.980 keep and bear arms which is under assault uh right along with our way of life in virginia

00:20:07.440 let me ask you a um uh a question of leadership and the people who are speaking etc etc

00:20:16.000 is there a sense uh that you have i talked to a lot of people from virginia yesterday and some said

00:20:21.780 they're coming with their guns some said they're not coming with their guns um but anyone who said

00:20:25.960 they were coming with their guns said we're going to we're going to be back behind the line so we

00:20:30.560 won't violate the law um is there a sense um of no matter what happens on martin luther king day we

00:20:40.880 should follow the actions of martin luther king and if somebody starts a fight we'll take the beating

00:20:45.820 if somebody is trying to arrest us we'll just we'll go peacefully because we want to show that we're not

00:20:52.360 the agitators i've seen a lot of that from gun owners uh and i think that you know over the past

00:20:59.920 week or so a lot of the folks who are attending we understand the optics we understand that governor

00:21:05.620 northam wants to portray us in the worst life possible that the media uh will aid and abet him

00:21:11.040 uh you know given the opportunity and so we know that the deck is stacked against this we know this is

00:21:16.460 not a level playing field uh and and i do think that there is that awareness among a lot of gun owners

00:21:22.000 that that yes we have to be uh good ambassadors for our uh for our rights and for our cause no matter

00:21:29.900 what the other side might throw at us america has not really paid any attention to virginia so this will

00:21:35.300 be their first exposure if something goes wrong it'll be everywhere and image is everything and if

00:21:42.840 if the constitutionalists are calm collected and they're taking beatings from nazis or antifa which i don't

00:21:51.320 think is going to happen um they win if they look like they're the instigators or make it just do

00:21:59.040 something like you know they you couldn't even break lines um you couldn't even go and help your friend

00:22:05.140 on the ground with martin luther king they were so disciplined but that's why they won um cam i thank you

00:22:11.180 so much we'll talk to you again uh on monday uh from uh the state capitol in virginia as these people

00:22:19.420 start to gather i pray for you and all of the people involved um i think it's going to be a peaceful

00:22:25.860 movement and i think what the virginians are doing uh the law-abiding citizens that are coming out in

00:22:33.200 droves i think you are setting the right example so far for the rest of the country because i think

00:22:40.280 you're the guinea pig

00:25:19.600 should turn yes if they're doing their job the republicans that's where this thing should well i

00:25:26.700 will tell you this i read an op-ed piece that you know they have to vote on the witnesses and i could

00:25:31.260 see mitt romney i could too voting for all the democrat witnesses and then saying no to the

00:25:37.180 whistleblower and all those guys i could see guys like i think he's done in utah if he does that

00:25:41.960 oh i i think i think he may be done in utah and he might be yeah i've heard pissed at him yeah he is a

00:25:48.260 big big name in utah uh and uh and really well liked and respected up until he became senator right

00:26:00.140 he may be done already he's made some big mistakes yeah he's actually underwater an approval rating

00:26:05.360 which is incredible that's incredible it is incredible i mean for a state that put up with

00:26:09.620 orrin hatch oh good gosh yeah for 40 years for 40 years and this time i think they're looking at him

00:26:15.280 and going if he's this bad now what will he be like in 40 years we got to get rid of this guy

00:26:20.720 well he'd be 117 in 40 years so it's probably hey live till 2030 and who knows

00:26:26.960 uh but this latest thing i'm i'm fascinated by the fact that withholding aid is illegal now that's

00:26:34.520 the big talking point for the democrats and they got that from the gao from the government accountability

00:26:40.920 office uh and and i just so i i was fascinated by that and then it turns out that there's some even 0.98

00:26:50.940 worse news going on yeah the national association of realtors has declared that being a lying scumbag 0.95

00:26:57.600 is also illegal really yes adam schiff is going to be arrested this afternoon oh my gosh by the 0.96

00:27:03.400 realtors by the realtors by the national association who have just as much power as the government

00:27:07.880 accountability office yes really yeah then there's an organization with even more power the uh the

00:27:13.680 international brotherhood of the moose or moose lodge oh man those guys they're most people don't know

00:27:19.640 this constitutionally as much power as the sheriff that's right yeah yes yeah and the gao

00:27:27.060 gao yes so how about the gmos the gmos don't figure into this really yeah okay well that's why i'm 0.78

00:27:35.520 asking it's kind of weird that was really stupid sorry and i'm not talking about just any of the

00:27:40.120 local chapters of the moose lodge i'm talking about the national moose lodge chapter of course the 0.74

00:27:45.220 national ones i mean you know they're practically the masons so it's a secret society they can do

00:27:50.940 anything you know it's so amazing that the democrats are just running with this gao stuff who's gotten 0.93

00:27:56.020 they've got no power to declare what's legal and what isn't it's just and how is the president

00:28:01.120 how is the president not allowed to hold back aid well i can't conceive of it i can't conceive of

00:28:09.800 charge of foreign relations yeah but if the if congress says money needs to be spent in a certain

00:28:15.240 way the president can't stop it the the issue to me here is that he did spend it right did give it to

00:28:21.200 them before we say it before we say anything uh any more on that let's not argue that because in two

00:28:26.620 weeks this program is going to change that argument uh we have we have i can't wait documents and some

00:28:33.740 information that make this whole thing irrelevant really and it's shocking okay it's shocking is it

00:28:42.340 written on a hotel notepad no it's not it's a little more credible than that really yeah it's a little

00:28:47.720 more because the hotel name was on the notepad no and what did the notepad say saint regis so he

00:28:53.740 you're writing something which is clearly a relic from a saint you're not gonna lie like that

00:29:01.720 but i mean i do think that is something that is important like i would not like for example if a

00:29:07.440 republican congress was passing bills that said you had to spend money in a certain way and the

00:29:12.180 democratic president was saying well i'm not going to spend it that way like there's a reason why

00:29:16.500 they're the power of the purse lies with congress power the purse does and it should however the power

00:29:22.720 of statesmanship resides with the president and so the president has a right not not i mean

00:29:31.620 he can do it through executive order but that's extra constitutional and and not popular he could

00:29:38.280 do it in the united states and say we're not going to pay those things for planned parenthood or we are

00:29:43.900 going to spend more money with planned parenthood um and allocate it differently than what congress

00:29:49.200 and congress would then have a responsibility to go to the president and say excuse me mr president

00:29:53.680 but we just voted again no okay they have a right to do that it's sketchy inside the country

00:30:01.440 i don't think he has a right to do it outside he would have that right if if the congress if the

00:30:08.920 congress said hey we voted last month for uh for uh aid to the taliban i'm just making this up the aid to

00:30:17.100 the taliban and then something happens and the president has new information he can stop that aid

00:30:24.940 he probably has to go to congress for that i think he eventually eventually has to go to congress and it seems

00:30:31.000 like the precedent is that he has wiggle room as far as timing yes and everything else right

00:30:36.580 they're just what this is about timing that's why i don't think this is applicable it's not

00:30:41.200 this particular situation he can't just stop it for all time and say screw you right right but he can

00:30:46.640 stop it and say no i have my reasons i'm stopping it for right now and if they don't like it then they

00:30:52.760 have to go to work and say mr president we're going to move on you uh if you don't release this

00:31:01.140 aid we're just going to vote again and then you must do it right and it seems like they just don't

00:31:07.940 like his reasoning which of course is what this whole thing is about well that's you know you think

00:31:12.240 it's because of his personal political benefit he's saying it's about our national interest and that's

00:31:16.840 of course where the whole debate is so really the gao report doesn't seem to have any teeth at all

00:31:21.620 no it doesn't they don't have any power and they don't it doesn't make any difference in this

00:31:25.600 argument i mean the the democrats are using them as the be all and end all but they're not

00:31:29.400 they're they're obviously not and and the the question is uh do does the united states have to

00:31:37.240 give aid now i don't know was this was this a bill that was passed because that's the first i'm

00:31:42.380 hearing of it if it is i think it was in a funding bill i think it was in a fund it was just

00:31:46.480 no we don't we don't pass bills anymore i know we don't do spending we just do these gigantic bills

00:31:53.400 and this was tucked in right yeah one fact it was assigned to be given to ukraine uh as as foreign

00:32:01.440 aid yeah but let's remember the democrats are all like they've got to have this foreign aid

00:32:05.780 he had already given foreign aid okay so they had already given them what part of the the money that

00:32:13.160 was promised he's holding back on the second amount of military aid the 400 million no but

00:32:19.580 he had already given military aid previously yes previously and obama and the democrats refused

00:32:27.400 yeah to give ukraine any aid so this idea that suddenly oh my gosh they have to have it when they

00:32:35.100 were at war with russia the democrats refused to give them any aid gave them blankets blankets which is

00:32:42.920 amazing yeah because now they're acting like and this was put the very nation at peril well that's

00:32:50.260 what you did for eight years yeah yeah i this guy breaks down into two different parts for me which

00:32:55.720 is i think the trump what the trump administration did uh is completely defensible when it comes to

00:33:01.300 this sort of process however i don't want to get on the argument the side of setting the precedent

00:33:07.180 that presidents get to just say no to congress yeah no right that's not that's not constitutional

00:33:12.220 right exactly and i think he has the right i think certainly for for the wiggle room of timing

00:33:16.740 yeah and and all of this and it's that there's a lot of precedence of that this has happened with

00:33:20.460 every president it's all happened over and over and over and over again i want you to remember the word

00:33:25.380 and when i start when i give the the day that we release this information we're just buttoning it all up now

00:33:31.460 it's coming in the next couple of weeks i want you to start that break before i tell you what it is

00:33:37.880 with the word timing just say it's all about timing the president has a right and it's all about timing just

00:33:45.500 remember that because this is a non-issue and i have to tell you if mitt romney and and a few of

00:33:56.600 those republican senators don't stand in the way all of this stuff i think will come out but it's

00:34:04.220 very possible that mitt romney and those people vote for um you know all the democratic uh witnesses

00:34:12.820 witnesses who they deem serious yeah hunter biden's not serious there's no reason for that there's

00:34:18.100 it well i'll show you in two weeks um i want you to know that i've written this on a post-it note yes and

00:34:25.320 i've written on the post-it note saint regis so this is uh this has the power of the constitution

00:34:30.240 now wow this note that says it's all about timing ukraine funding is now constitutional on a saint

00:34:36.580 regis saint regis post-it note post-it right here who knew he was alive when post-it notes were i've

00:34:42.080 already booked an interview on rachel maddow tomorrow night yeah really yeah you know what while you were

00:34:46.700 sitting here yes man can you check into that because this may be why he's a saint this may be

00:34:53.300 before 3m made post-it notes this was the first one and it just magically stuck to things oh my

00:34:59.100 gosh wow i think that's why saint regis is the same wow he can make stuff stick to stuff yeah he can

00:35:05.500 make stuff stick okay yeah and believe me what i'm going to reveal will stick it will stick is this

00:35:12.660 on a special that's coming up yeah uh we're gonna do a special and we're not waiting for the special

00:35:18.000 we're waiting because we just need a cut we have two things that are blockbusters already

00:38:42.240 fan tolerate it you know what i mean just tolerate that's what i ask you to do for me all the time

00:38:47.540 yeah just tolerate it bill o'reilly is coming up in just a second i want to play some audio

00:38:53.000 of a a sanctuary uh sheriff in north carolina who is talking to the city council about protecting the

00:39:06.920 second amendment listen to this i just want to personally and publicly go on record supporting

00:39:12.180 this resolution before us this evening you know guys it's it's simple like a lot of them have said

00:39:17.600 the constitution needs no no explanation it's been in force for several hundred years now it's easy to

00:39:24.000 understand says what it means it means what it says and the last time i read the declaration of

00:39:29.160 independence it it specifically reminds all of us that we're endowed by our creator

00:39:33.580 with certain inalienable rights which means god given among these life liberty and pursuit of

00:39:39.940 happiness and that governments were instituted among men specifically to secure our god-given

00:39:47.560 rights and it says when government becomes destructive to these ends meaning when they go above and beyond

00:39:53.820 trying to secure our liberties and trying to take them it's the right of the people to alter 0.63

00:39:58.680 or abolish that government either by voting or ultimately god forbid to use our second amendment

00:40:04.780 rights to protect ourselves from tyranny and i'm just asking all y'all to unanimously join our sister

00:40:10.980 counties of wilkes surrey stokes lincoln and cherokee and get on board with this thing and publicly

00:40:18.280 demonstrate to us that you're willing to uphold and honor the same oath i took when i put my hand on

00:40:25.000 god's word and held my other hand up to him and swore that i'd give my life to defend that constitution

00:40:30.860 and i and i hate i'm not trying to be disrespectful but regardless of what y'all do or don't do

00:40:35.540 i'm not going to enforce an unconstitutional law i'm going to

00:40:38.380 what's interesting is everybody cheers in that room um but he's not going for cheers he is really just

00:40:48.720 stating the fact this is why you really have to know and support your sheriff um because the sheriffs

00:40:56.680 they don't answer to the governor they don't answer to uh law enforcement they answer to the people

00:41:05.240 and to the constitution so you've got to be in the right county with the right sheriff if unconstitutional

00:41:12.900 laws start to happen it's up to the sheriff to be able to defend that and to stand with the people

00:41:20.160 uh and this uh this sheriff from uh davidson county seems to understand that clearly and i tell you

00:41:30.200 everybody everybody within the sound of my voice should memorize the first two paragraphs of the

00:41:37.120 declaration of independence because it's all there it's all there back in a minute with bill o'reilly

00:41:44.020 bill o'reilly is uh coming up uh next and can't wait to hear his uh take on the on the news of the

00:42:05.540 week because it is extensive uh what's been what's been happening what's the biggest story

00:42:11.360 to you not necessarily history would say it's the impeachment but yeah what's the biggest story this

00:42:18.240 week to you uh gosh there's so many i mean you have the impeachment you have the uh you know the

00:42:24.200 debate slash election we're only a few weeks away from that everyone's starting to release their

00:42:27.860 their models of uh of the election and how it's going to play out which is you know to me sort of a

00:42:34.660 fascinating thing we were just talking off the air about this australian fires thing which is a huge

00:42:39.260 story and i'm i'm riveted by this because the data seems to show that less area in australia has been

00:42:47.540 burned in almost than almost any season in the last 20 years but all we're hearing about it how this is a

00:42:54.740 climate catastrophe besides the fact that it was set by people it's an arson it is man-made but not

00:43:00.200 man-made global warming they're using matches uh we should ban arson and you know you should look

00:43:05.680 into stew the same thing i think happened with the amazon that amazon story was huge and when it turned

00:43:11.640 out at the end not so much

00:43:14.000 the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment

00:43:31.660 bill o'reilly writes you may remember that mr obama once publicly opposed gay marriage

00:43:41.620 his administration deported record numbers of foreign nationals who had legally entered the united

00:43:46.960 states compared to the leftist zealots today barack obama could have filled in for sean hannity

00:43:53.880 and i think he's actually pretty right i want to talk to him about why the democrats have moved that far

00:44:04.220 but more importantly to me at least is why is barack obama a guy we know is a a radical um who did want

00:44:14.960 the fundamental transformation of america why is he suddenly distancing himself from some of these

00:44:23.220 policies we'll start with bill o'reilly there and impeachment in one minute this is the glenbeck

00:44:31.280 program also can't wait to hear him talk about the cat fight uh that was the democratic uh debate the

00:44:39.620 other night buying or selling a home is a really big task both physically emotionally it's one of the

00:44:44.700 you know it's what is it the top three it's a loss of job uh death of a family member and moving i mean it's a

00:46:18.180 show at bill o'reilly.com bill o'reilly.com mr bill o'reilly what a week it has been

00:46:25.380 before we get to that i'm really happy to hear you're gonna have jackie gleason on the program

00:46:30.680 later i'm a huge jackie gleason fan so don't mess with him i like jackie gleason and and what people

00:46:37.440 don't know is he never rehearsed oh it's like almost like you back yeah no idea what he was

00:46:45.060 doing until he got on the air and even then it was questionable yeah he was fantastic all right bill

00:46:50.680 where do you want to uh where do you want to start you want to start with impeachment you want to start

00:46:54.280 with a debate uh you want to start with maybe predictions on uh you know why barack obama is

00:47:01.280 doing this uh and and moderating himself all right let's start there let's start with president obama

00:47:08.340 because that leads to everything impeachment and the debates so we'll do a very logical thing here

00:47:14.620 unlike most weeks um barack obama knows or thinks he knows that armageddon may happen in november for the

00:47:27.500 democratic party that's where you start and he's not alone uh all his guys um are very nervous you

00:47:36.640 hear it on cnn because that's where his guys live that's where they work van jones van jones yeah and

00:47:42.420 what's his name uh the guy with the mustache who ran obama's campaign was in the white house but

00:47:47.400 anyway um anyway they feel axelrod yeah axelrod all i could think of was a guy in a black top hat with a

00:47:57.480 curly mustache well he could play that part actually yeah he could yeah i i actually like

00:48:02.620 him you know i've known him for for years but um he's the smartest of the crew him and podesta you

00:48:09.480 don't hear much from podesta he's hillary clinton's guy they know that this is not looking good at this

00:48:15.520 point even with impeachment even with the media all of that so barack obama goes i don't really want

00:48:22.720 to be tied into this radical left movement and i think you're making a mistake assessing him he he

00:48:29.620 is all about economics he's not about social in fact barack obama if you look at him outside of the

00:48:35.860 drug use a pretty standardized guy um he's not he's not a hippie he's not you know that kind of a person

00:48:45.440 he's not he's not a socialist i i i think he is an income redistributor socialist okay yeah and his

00:48:55.820 wife is even more so yes she's much more socially liberal than barack obama yeah i don't mean about 0.66

00:49:02.380 social i don't mean i don't mean necessarily about society i do mean about changing the culture of the

00:49:08.340 country and fundamentally transforming it those are his words and her words uh but they are they are

00:49:15.100 for american standards they used to be radicals they are socialists um all right and but they're

00:49:22.940 now looking they're now looking like you're right sean hannity yeah look they don't want to be tied

00:49:30.100 in the obamas don't want to be tied in with a drastic defeat that's where you start number two

00:49:36.340 all right their philosophy links into the far left there is a link there i don't like labeling people

00:49:45.040 uh unless there is beyond a reasonable doubt but their philosophy i proved it for two years on fox

00:49:50.840 news but you were busy uh-huh the the prevailing wisdom of the far left and this this is why they

00:50:01.160 do what they do and say what they say that america is an evil country yes all right from the very

00:50:08.780 beginning of the founding fathers the slaveholders this has been an exploitative country run by rich 0.96

00:50:17.180 white guys who have screwed everybody else and because of that now it's our time and we have to change 0.99

00:50:27.500 everything to punish the white guys the patriarchy take all of their assets and money and this includes 0.99

00:50:36.580 corporations and wall street and give it to those people whose ancestors were exploited if you

00:50:44.260 understand that and it is no doubt about it if you understand that everything you hear from bernie

00:50:52.700 sanders elizabeth warren and all the rest of them makes perfect sense the income redistribution 1.00

00:50:59.960 policies of barack obama make perfect sense the problem with it is that number one most americans

00:51:08.440 don't believe that all right and number two wherever the socialist policies have been implemented

00:51:17.320 have turned into totalitarian disasters correct okay so those are the two problems that's where you start

00:51:25.780 with the far left now may i ask you this question uh i mean bernie sanders now in the latest poll

00:51:34.400 is uh i think one point ahead of joe biden this thing is a free-for-all i think you could head to a

00:51:41.800 fractured uh well you're talking about iowa that he and and in a national real clear politics average

00:51:48.900 biden still is a comfortable lead yeah well national polls don't really mean much when you're you're

00:51:54.960 talking about the primaries but let me just just hear me out for a second um if they go to a a

00:52:01.500 fractured convention and they need to broker yeah they need to broker a new deal um uh the one to

00:52:09.820 obviously call on is michelle obama and the obamas are positioning themselves in back into the center

00:52:18.440 and looking like they're not part of all of this right you think that it plays a role in any of this

00:52:24.980 possible but the people who know michelle obama who i know say that she sincerely does not want to do

00:52:32.060 that does not want to run for president i believe that okay so i see it's more of a bloomberg play

00:52:38.640 um that bloomberg will be hovering around and uh will tell the democratic uh power brokers say you may

00:52:47.560 not like me because i'm a rich white guy but i can beat him so and since you don't have anybody else

00:52:53.560 let me be the nominee so bloomberg is playing the rudy giuliani strategy from a few years ago with the

00:52:59.140 gop and putting all of his eggs in super tuesday um hoping that i think that there is a different winner

00:53:05.620 in every primary yeah that nobody goes in uh with a commanding lead correct but bloomberg knows he

00:53:12.480 doesn't really have a chance to get his enough delegates to win he's doing two things if there

00:53:18.560 is a brokered convention there he is and even if there is a nominee it'll probably be biden and biden

00:53:25.900 will give me secretary of state or secretary of treasury uh that's what bloomberg wants because i i think

00:53:31.900 that the split up convention thing does lead to some possibility for you know bloomberg in this you

00:53:36.820 know sort of fantasy world i'm sure he's living in so is hillary um however i think maybe he'll be there

00:53:41.340 because he's not really a consensus candidate for the for the left bloomberg what he might be though

00:53:46.760 is an alternative if sanders sweeps the early uh primaries and biden's campaign is in shambles

00:53:54.140 you know you have bloomberg there as an alternative to a bernie which there is a good chunk of the

00:53:58.880 democrats who they actually don't want him to be the nominee they take almost anybody else and he's

00:54:03.260 got billions of dollars to spend is there a possibility there for bloomberg you know it's a tough call for

00:54:09.460 the democratic party because if they give it to bloomberg all the far left progressives crazy

00:54:14.340 and i don't think black americans are going to vote for bloomberg either all right i could be wrong on

00:54:20.700 that last one but i know the progressives will not buy into it so this is just the media that props up

00:54:26.260 the far left doesn't want bloomberg either although the new york times would probably you know reluctantly

00:54:32.860 uh get behind him so this is the latest from des moines from the washington examiner bernie sanders

00:54:39.380 supporters in iowa are warning that a lack of enthusiasm for joe biden would bring the same

00:54:44.380 result nomination of another milquetoast democrat that did four years ago electing donald trump

00:54:50.300 they said that if they uh if the democrats go with a a a bland centrist they will stay home

00:54:59.660 and the the sanders supporters uh are the ones with the most passion they're also the furthest left

00:55:06.660 are you concerned at all bill about some of the threats that we learned from project veritas this

00:55:12.620 week uh from some of these some of these people on the sanders campaign that we're talking about

00:55:18.600 you know uh chicago 68 in milwaukee no i'm not i'm not concerned about civil unrest on the left um

00:55:28.080 what i am perplexed about is how any american could support bernie sanders i just can't imagine i don't

00:55:38.360 know anyone personally and i know thousands of people most of whom won't talk to me but i know them

00:55:45.100 um i don't know how anyone can support him two reasons he said very clearly from the very beginning

00:55:54.420 of the campaign that he would withdraw all american troops from the middle east so when asked by the

00:56:01.380 very astute wolf blitzer hey if you do that isis will reconstitute and kill thousands of people as 0.95

00:56:11.060 it did when barack obama did exactly the same thing in iraq do you not remember that and do you not fear

00:56:16.840 that isis would reconstitute bernie of course didn't come anywhere near answering that question

00:56:23.260 and instead went back to vietnam for a little lecture and then to the iraq war for another little

00:56:28.180 lecture but instead of following up mr blitzer didn't of course he didn't because if he did follow

00:56:35.680 up he wouldn't have the slot in the debate cnn would remove him all right all he had to say was

00:56:41.680 with all due respect senator you didn't come close to answering my question isis will reconstitute

00:56:47.360 they'll kill thousands of people they'll try to attack the united states what are you going to do 0.88

00:56:52.780 about it and bernie was oh my allies we'll get everybody together we'll get the allies you know 0.99

00:56:58.940 some stupid bills like that the second thing which is even more intense is if bernie sanders was ever 0.97

00:57:06.660 president of the united states and did manage to control the democrats the house and the senate 1.00

00:57:11.340 there would be a depression in this country not a recession depression all right there would be a

00:57:17.660 massive flight of capital out of the united states because people and corporations that have assets

00:57:28.180 are not going to let bernie sanders and the democrats take those assets we we know this from the

00:57:35.740 the partially socialist government in france that when they went for taxes like bernie sanders is talking

00:57:43.960 about they had to repeal it within the first year because france was collapsing people just left

00:57:50.660 they moved their money out and that would that that would make france uh look like a boy scout meeting

00:57:57.120 it would here yeah and we owe 22 trillion dollars well what were people holding that debt do i want to

00:58:03.640 i want to give i want to give you one other reason that you might vote for bernie sanders and that is

00:58:09.180 you're a fan of curb your enthusiasm you're you just don't know that's not larry david and you think

00:58:15.400 he would be really funny all right back with bill o'reilly here in just a second let me take one minute

00:58:20.120 to tell you about the x chair the very first thing that early man ever did uh and i have this on good

00:58:27.540 authority is sit down i've had a long day i've been hunting you know tyrannosaurus rex and i'm tired

00:58:37.120 okay can you just give me a break before i have to ask about your day and ever since then we've been

00:58:43.640 trying to find comfortable ways to sit down the way god intended the problem is for the longest time

00:58:50.020 man didn't know how to make sitting truly comfortable let alone stylish this has now been done completely

00:58:57.540 with the x chair with its patented dynamic variable lumbar support and 10 different settings

00:59:02.840 the x chair is what you and those around you need for a comfortable work day with

00:59:07.260 x chairs 30 day no questions asked guarantee of satisfaction you have zero risk and most companies

00:59:12.800 can't make that kind of offer also x chair is on sale now for a hundred dollars off just go to

00:59:17.520 x chair beck.com that's x chair beck.com or call 844 for x chair use the promo code beck you're going to

00:59:25.020 receive a free set of the new x wheels with your chair it's x chair beck.com we pause for 10 seconds

00:59:30.580 so so bill yes how do you see the first four states breaking out uh in the next couple of weeks

00:59:51.600 all right it's impossible i i you know it's impossible you just can't predict iowa caucus

00:59:59.420 because there are 17 people voting correct i know all right it's weird yeah and and a couple

01:00:05.540 of them have bad night uh the night before in the super bowl and they lose they may not show up right

01:00:11.120 so there's nobody votes i mean this is a party run thing dominated by really weird it's a weird system

01:00:18.400 so i mean let's give uh let's give bernie iowa we'll give it to him all right he'll win it by

01:00:24.920 you know three votes out of the 37 whatever it is then i go over to new hampshire neighboring state

01:00:31.740 to vermont where bernie allegedly lives um and i think biden may pull it off in the uh granite state

01:00:40.580 because that's a statewide vote and um people in new hampshire you got some radical hippies up there

01:00:47.380 but nothing like vermont i mean if he can't pull his own region that says something yeah so i'm going

01:00:54.120 to give biden and i could be wrong obviously i'm going to give him new hampshire then they

01:00:58.580 swing down to south carolina and out to nevada biden south carolina everyone knows biden will win

01:01:05.380 because the african-american vote there yeah and nevada i think biden will probably win as well as

01:01:11.540 people out there say you know um the radicals are really not going to help us very much um out here

01:01:19.340 so we'll go with uh the reliable joe well if that happens if that happens biden is on his way to the

01:01:25.020 nomination yes and as i predicted very early on he would get it because the democrats and we go back

01:01:32.140 to barack obama here they know that if they run sanders or warren they're gonna it's gonna be a george

01:01:39.320 mcgovern situation it's gonna be a landslide and people are gonna a lot of people would stay home

01:01:45.860 see the problem trump has and i actually told this to the president when i had dinner with him

01:01:52.000 um about five weeks ago um is that p people are put off by him not not by his policies if you're a

01:02:03.320 mainstream american and you have a retirement account you're doing really well if you have

01:02:10.400 a college fund for your kids or grandkids that's way up and you want to give all that up do you

01:02:18.220 really want to do that and then wages for working americans are you know explosive now in this cycle

01:02:26.700 and and that is a calculation that voters will have to make so the ones that are really put off

01:02:33.160 by trump and there are millions who will stay home they won't vote for the crazy socialists

01:02:39.000 all right talk to me about the debate anything that you thought was really missed that needs to be

01:02:47.960 uh well we went over the the isis wolf blitzer yeah uh we went over that so the only other thing in

01:02:54.820 the debate and i i tweeted at the little riley's a tweet all through it for my um listeners so they

01:03:01.420 don't have to watch it because it was a seventh debate and did you learn anything back no did you

01:03:07.060 learn nothing new no nothing new so i mean it's like all right do i have to watch another episode of

01:03:13.980 star trek i've seen them all right although i think the guy that i think the episode with lincoln and

01:03:22.700 the lava rock would be great if you got the lava rock on stage with the democrats you know it's like

01:03:29.260 how many mash episodes can i watch right um so i did hang in for about 90 minutes and i learned nothing

01:03:39.360 but the elizabeth warren bernie sanders thing was more than the press is reporting because of course the

01:03:45.540 doesn't want to report that so here's what happened there warren one minute is warren's telling the

01:03:54.140 truth she had a private discussion with sanders in 2018 and sanders said something to the effect that

01:04:00.600 if the woman gets a nomination elizabeth you better watch out because trump is going to go in

01:04:05.680 and the republic is going to go in and so it was not a sexist thing it was a political calculation

01:04:10.680 strategy yes yes warren is so desperate to hurt bernie she made it a sexist thing yeah bernie 1.00

01:04:18.540 oh i would just god matter of fact i didn't okay so now they're each calling each other a liar

01:04:24.320 the progressive press the media hates this and that was the only amusing thing okay um i have a

01:04:30.560 question stew and i have been debating all morning and i think you can answer and then we also go into

01:04:36.780 the impeachment with bill o'reilly in just a couple of minutes stand by

01:04:42.080 you're listening to glenn beck american financing corporation nmls 182334 www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org

01:05:57.600 bill o'reilly is uh coming up again here in just a minute with more analysis you can go to

01:06:10.480 billoreilly.com and get it every single day

01:06:17.060 that this is based on what he called credible serious threats coming from in many cases from

01:06:42.180 hate groups from outside the state coming from militia groups uh he also says what these groups

01:06:47.760 were planning to do according to this intelligence was to disrupt this gun rights rally that's going

01:06:52.540 to be taking place on monday so what did he do as a result he's declaring a state of emergency

01:06:57.500 goes into effect on friday it'll end on tuesday he says not only does it include guns but he says it also

01:07:04.780 includes sticks as well as chains he wants this to be as safe as possible and look all of this taking

01:07:10.340 place in the backdrop of what happened back in you know charlottesville back in 2017 you remember that

01:07:15.480 unite to right rally a lot of the protesters who showed up there were armed you remember law

01:07:20.380 enforcement uh was in some ways criticized for their response you remember a young woman died when

01:07:25.140 a white supremacist ran over her with her car they don't want to see a repeat of any violence and so

01:07:30.360 what they're trying to do is trying to get ahead of this uh by enacting this temporary ban of course this

01:07:35.140 temporary ban is also uh upsetting a number of gun rights advocates cnn trying to make gun rights

01:07:43.560 activists uh lumping them in with nazis and antifa at a traditional day to go lobby uh the the uh

01:07:54.720 legislature in virginia on sunday also cnn uh the the same time compared last night donald trump to al

01:08:03.980 capone and billy the kid we're with bill o'reilly bill cnn just continues to double down on their

01:08:11.740 strategy of no trump at any cost the ratings are have been cut at least in half there are days that

01:08:20.800 i had higher numbers on headline news which four people watched this is a this is a publicly traded

01:08:27.960 company with fiduciary responsibilities i don't care what you believe when you're doing this to a

01:08:35.860 company your shareholders uh have got to be upset what is the strategy there well you think at&t would

01:08:46.700 step in um you're right i mean it's a disaster on every front everybody knows that the whole brand is

01:08:55.580 destroyed now um and i don't know i can't answer that question i know the people over there i know

01:09:03.420 they're fanatical leftists they hate trump with a passion that i've never seen i mean i thought

01:09:09.860 nixon was bad i remember how much dan rather loathed richard nixon um but i haven't seen anything like

01:09:18.100 this and then you know at&t just took it over and you would think that they would kind of make

01:09:23.080 some changes and say all right maybe we're a left-wing network but we're not going to be

01:09:28.360 um a joke yeah all right and that's what it is it's a joke and i don't know why anybody would would

01:09:38.120 bother and again i've seen the ratings bernie sanders what why would you bother putting it on

01:09:43.520 you're not going to learn anything go ahead from a motivational standpoint though bill i mean they were

01:09:49.460 always a left-wing network yeah but not like this this is crazy so now what do they why are they

01:09:54.620 doing it this way what's changed is this all the networks have always been left-wing i worked at cbs

01:10:01.080 i worked at abc as news correspondent yeah and they've all been but they would they would not

01:10:07.360 change the facts or not seek the facts correct if the facts hit them in the head they would report

01:10:15.460 the facts right now they won't so now it's all here's our narrative trump is the devil we have

01:10:22.000 to destroy him find stuff that will prop that narrative up and we'll go back to wolf blitzer

01:10:28.840 anybody a seven-year-old an eight-year-old in a in a classroom would have said the follow-up question

01:10:38.420 you didn't answer what isis is going to reconstitute how would you stop it he did not

01:10:45.180 do it you can't tell me that wolf blitzer didn't know that was the natural follow-up of course he knew

01:10:52.320 but he is fearful he knows he won't be the debate moderator if he does stump like that

01:10:59.220 and that's what you have over there um the white house has announced that uh leading the team for

01:11:06.120 for trump in the impeachment uh trial in the senate ken star and alan dershowitz does that tell you

01:11:14.920 anything about the president's strategy at all um star is effective

01:11:24.500 dershowitz is a is a play to the left he's he's saying look even alan dershowitz

01:11:34.660 an avowed liberal from harvard believes this is nonsense that's more of a pr thing

01:11:43.460 uh star obviously frame of reference off the chart right because he went through it

01:11:49.100 and he can raise points that well i mean this is what happened in clinton you're not doing the same

01:11:54.720 thing and so i understand both of those selections um i don't know whether i would have gone that way

01:12:03.500 who would you have gone with well the best people in um very simple terms they have to be able to

01:12:13.260 explain it to the american people to go in and say this is a clear violation of our electoral process

01:12:21.480 the common wall street journal today written by mike pence all right the vice president and he goes

01:12:28.360 over how the exact same thing happened to the immortal andrew johnson is that the um north

01:12:36.540 didn't like andrew johnson's um soft reconstruction uh after the civil war policy that's so they kindly

01:12:46.120 yeah they trumped up a charge to get him out right it was a political play and it was everybody knows

01:12:54.180 that this is exactly the same thing there's no difference so i would have liked that you know

01:13:00.500 i would have appointed somebody who's very down to earth maybe stew and um had him go in and say

01:13:10.340 look this is what it's all about and i think the american people know that anyway all right so do you

01:13:15.360 believe that they are going to vote for witnesses because i i could see romney snow voting for you know

01:13:22.980 new witnesses from the democrats but then at the same time the whistleblower and hunter biden i can

01:13:29.160 absolutely see mitt romney going oh no uh that's just out of line he can't do that romney can't do

01:13:36.220 that if romney's going to go and say i want to hear from x who may know something about this ukraine

01:13:42.480 situation and then somebody else says all right well we want to hear from hunter because he's sitting

01:13:47.160 there in ukraine romney can't say no yeah he can no he won't that's that would destroy him in utah 0.99

01:13:55.320 i think he's already on that road i i don't think he's a stupid man all right maybe i'm wrong maybe 0.97

01:14:02.200 next week will be what i anticipate is a circus of uh circus soleil it doesn't even come close what's 0.99

01:14:11.180 going to happen next week grandstanding all day long yelling screaming uh this allegation that

01:14:18.680 allegation on and then it's all theater guerrilla theater that's what's going to happen next week

01:14:24.920 so and old mitch old mitch better you know take one of those little uh red bulls he got off that 0.99

01:14:31.380 energy level and keep this under control well i will tell you this easily get out of control the the senate

01:14:36.300 the senators are seated and are not allowed to have any electronics and they're not allowed to speak

01:14:44.060 so there can't be shouting back and forth but i do expect in the hallway oh yeah yeah yes as soon as

01:14:50.740 they leave bathroom where you see how many bathroom breaks there are yeah okay they'll be bolting out

01:14:55.920 of there um so look this is going to be interesting i think i'm going to be engaged and report on bill

01:15:04.900 o'reilly.com honestly about it but i don't see it is no fundamental way he gets removed so it's all

01:15:12.020 about these people in the senate and they're going to play to their crews i i find it i i will be

01:15:18.700 disappointed but i understand you know take a win if you have a win but i'd be disappointed if they don't

01:15:24.640 call witnesses uh on donald trump or if at the least they don't actually go for what this story is

01:15:35.840 really about and that's the corruption uh of the democrats in ukraine and that's this is all a cover

01:15:43.900 up for that and i uh i i'm anxious to see how the president handles that if they don't make their case

01:15:51.860 he's not going to handle that he'll just say well we rest our case i mean look at that well i i i did

01:15:57.860 i think next week the president's personal device may break may shatter he'll be tweeting so much

01:16:05.380 his thumb is going to fall off you know he's not going to sit would you recommend him doing that

01:16:12.980 yes for the first time for the first time i have told him a hundred times to his face you're getting

01:16:20.360 hurt by these tweets you must discipline yourself if you read the united states of trump you'll see it

01:16:26.960 i prove it but not now he's the guy they're trying to smear yeah he's the guy they're trying to

01:16:35.920 overthrow he ought to show outrage it mobilizes his base and and also presents independent voters with

01:16:44.960 this is a sham are you going to allow your country to be hijacked by the new york times is that what

01:16:52.660 you're going to do allow cnn and nbc news to hijack our republic because that's what's happening

01:16:59.820 none of this would be in play if the media hadn't gotten behind it it's a media play and pelosi and

01:17:08.360 schiff and all these people know they're being made into stars by the progressive media that's

01:17:15.320 why they're doing it there's no constitutional basis or legality for doing it so trump ought to

01:17:23.080 just go go and expose all that but he ought to have two or three people there to correct the spellings

01:17:29.600 yeah i would agree with that bill o'reilly the uh author of the united states of trump how the

01:17:36.280 president really sees america it's on sale now uh and you can also subscribe to his uh his commentary

01:17:43.060 every day at billoreilly.com bill thank you so much all right guys always a pleasure you bet

01:17:48.340 now by the time i get to the end of this commercial not one but two houses are going to be broken into

01:18:16.900 i believe on how do you change this one statistic one out of five homes has security and and every

01:19:28.640 this is the glenbeck program

01:19:33.520 uh

01:19:43.600 so

01:19:45.120 It's going to be interesting next hour.

01:20:06.480 You don't want to miss it.

01:20:07.460 John Solomon, formerly of The Hill, is the guy who did a lot of the work on what was really happening in Ukraine.

01:20:18.000 He is a multiple award-winning journalist.

01:20:21.740 He worked for The New York Times.

01:20:23.200 He worked for The Post.

01:20:24.140 He worked for The AP.

01:20:25.700 Now, all of a sudden, because he's saying, no, this is what happened in Ukraine, you know, they've got to investigate him, et cetera, et cetera.

01:20:34.460 I think he is a true and honest reporter.

01:20:38.560 Could be wrong, but everything we've seen from him checks out.

01:20:43.380 We have looked into it and verified these things ourselves.

01:20:48.260 Okay.

01:20:48.980 He's on next.

01:20:50.340 He's going to be breaking some news, and I honestly don't even know what it is, but his latest stories from John Solomon are pretty intense.

01:21:02.320 We're going to talk to him a little bit about the Lev Parnas.

01:21:05.720 Did you see what Jake Tapper said yesterday about that?

01:21:10.900 Do we have that audio by any chance, Sarah?

01:21:13.160 Jake Tapper yesterday saying, let's just remember this guy has zero credibility.

01:21:20.720 Yeah, yeah.

01:21:21.260 Yeah, you know, I heard ABC News say the same thing.

01:21:23.440 They are, surprisingly, I give the media credit.

01:21:26.120 I've heard it from several places that they're saying, like, look, this is stuff that might be worth looking into.

01:21:31.080 They're big allegations, but we should not just take Lev Parnas' word that these things occurred this way.

01:21:36.660 And mainly, really, honestly, because what are you looking at?

01:21:41.760 You're looking at a guy who is facing federal prison time, and you don't think he'll say whatever he has to say.

01:21:49.420 You don't think he'll cozy up to anybody he has to cozy up to to be able to get a lighter sentence or even have his sentence dismissed, you know, or somehow or another, you know, he's a friend to the Congress. 0.90

01:22:07.840 For us, that's possible, not saying it's true, saying it's more than reasonable for a guy who is slippery, dirty.

01:22:16.460 We said this the same thing when Rudy Giuliani was, you know, saying, hey, I got this, you know, contact. 0.98

01:22:23.780 Just having a contact from this guy and being introduced is enough for me to say, well, now let's really look at everything because this guy is really dirty, really dirty.

01:22:36.800 It does seem that way, and it seems like he has all sorts of lawsuits pending against him.

01:22:43.920 You know, he's famously started a company called Fraud Guarantee, which seems to be the opposite of the thing that you'd want to guarantee.

01:22:53.220 I mean, I think it was—you don't know that?

01:22:55.340 No.

01:22:55.620 I'm sure you've known it over the years.

01:22:57.660 There's been so many facts that have been swirled around, but Fraud Guarantee was the name of a company that he was involved in.

01:23:03.980 And it was supposedly basically like a protection against fraud, but it kind of came out as like you're just guaranteed to be defrauded, which is sort of a funny anecdote on the side of this.

01:23:14.560 But, you know, he's been sued, you know, many, many times.

01:23:17.520 He's had all sorts of credibility issues here.

01:23:19.980 And you see that he's the type of guy who attaches himself to the Trump administration or Giuliani or whoever it is when he feels like that benefits him.

01:23:29.380 And now he feels like Rachel Maddow is going to benefit him, so he's attaching himself there.

01:23:33.800 A lot of people are taking him at face value, but it's been encouraging that some people in the media have been showing the appropriate amount of doubt.

01:23:41.600 Right.

01:23:42.160 And that's all you have to do.

01:23:43.420 Just, you know, you don't trust.

01:23:46.100 You verify.

01:23:46.880 When it comes to him, you verify.

01:23:50.820 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:24:04.100 It's going to be a lot of fun.

01:24:05.280 Very excited to get started on that.

01:24:07.160 We've been doing a lot.

01:24:08.040 I was on with Ben Shapiro yesterday.

01:24:09.560 Yeah, how'd that go?

01:24:10.220 Really good.

01:24:11.060 By the way, I saw you at Chad Prather.

01:24:13.120 Yeah, it was great, right?

01:24:14.200 It was fantastic.

01:24:14.960 What?

01:24:15.020 It was a good interview.

01:24:16.080 You didn't see the whole thing, hopefully, right?

01:24:17.260 I did.

01:24:18.340 I don't know.

01:24:19.460 Yeah.

01:24:19.660 Tell me, maybe you missed the beginning.

01:24:21.120 I saw about 10 minutes in particular.

01:24:24.200 Uh-oh.

01:24:24.740 Did someone alert you to that?

01:24:26.080 Nope.

01:24:26.720 Because there wasn't a red flag that was sent to you?

01:24:28.600 Nope.

01:24:28.660 I'm a fan.

01:24:29.520 Was a fan of Chad.

01:24:31.620 Was a fan of yours.

01:24:32.960 Ah.

01:24:33.560 Yeah.

01:24:34.100 But, uh...

01:24:34.820 How'd it go with Ben Shapiro?

01:24:36.180 Uh, you shouldn't listen back to it.

01:24:38.760 No, it was fine.

01:24:39.940 It was good.

01:24:40.680 It was good.

01:24:41.020 It was good talking to Ben on his radio show.

01:24:43.140 Going on with Andrew Wilkow on his Sirius show today, which should be fun.

01:24:46.980 I've never been on that.

01:24:47.580 And that's one of those shows that, like, my wife likes more than she ever would, like,

01:24:52.200 listen to me.

01:24:52.940 Oh, my wife.

01:24:53.240 She likes Andrew a thousand times more than she likes me.

01:24:55.580 She would say...

01:24:55.640 My wife would always say, you hear Andrew today?

01:24:58.440 No, honey.

01:24:59.040 No, I was working on my show.

01:25:00.020 Did you hear my show?

01:25:01.000 No, I was listening to Andrew.

01:25:02.200 What the...

01:25:03.140 So that's going to be fun as well.

01:25:05.060 That's, uh, that's, uh, that's great.

01:25:06.640 We have John Solomon.

01:25:07.860 Uh, he's, uh, coming up next.

01:25:10.120 He has some breaking news, uh, on the Ukraine, uh, scandal.

01:25:14.600 An update on, uh, Ukraine.

01:25:16.340 And we'll talk to him about impeachment and so much more next.

01:25:19.160 The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

01:25:37.200 Hello, America, and welcome to it.

01:25:39.480 It is Friday.

01:25:41.960 We have made it through another week.

01:25:45.440 Let's just make it to the end of the year, shall we?

01:25:48.260 Um, I'm going to talk to you about this.

01:25:49.520 Impeachment has been going on.

01:25:52.040 Uh, the trial starts next week.

01:25:55.260 We're talking about the possibility of new witnesses. 0.99

01:25:59.400 Mitt Romney being a total jerk and saying, I love, I love these witnesses. 0.99

01:26:05.080 I don't want to hear from any of Hunter Biden. 1.00

01:26:08.120 There's no reason to have him talk.

01:26:10.560 Go ahead, Stu.

01:26:11.560 Go ahead.

01:26:11.820 So, Romney actually, you just keep using him as an example.

01:26:14.520 Is that just a generic example?

01:26:16.080 Or are you trying to, is he actually said he's going to...

01:26:18.240 No, he said he's open.

01:26:19.860 Snow has been out of the Senate for a long time.

01:26:21.300 I think you mean Collins.

01:26:21.940 Yeah, Collins.

01:26:22.860 Uh, he is, uh, Romney is, is, uh, open to, uh, to hearing some of these, uh, these witnesses.

01:26:30.120 I'm open to hearing witnesses too.

01:26:31.800 I am too.

01:26:32.500 Right.

01:26:32.640 But he's the kind of guy that would do their witnesses and not Trump witnesses.

01:26:38.340 Because I, I, I would share the same fear as you, but I'm wondering if it's based on evidence

01:26:44.000 or you're just saying, generally speaking, you don't trust Romney.

01:26:46.060 Generally speaking, I don't trust Romney.

01:26:48.060 At all.

01:26:49.980 At all.

01:26:50.580 And Collins and Murkowski and...

01:26:52.820 At all.

01:26:52.940 There's plenty of names.

01:26:53.920 And Mitt Romney.

01:26:55.440 At all.

01:26:56.600 It's not just him though.

01:26:57.800 No, but it's primarily Mitt Romney.

01:27:01.400 Okay.

01:27:01.700 All right.

01:27:02.300 There's something else going on here that I'm not picking up on.

01:27:05.360 It's Mitt Romney.

01:27:06.220 Okay.

01:27:06.560 Yeah.

01:27:06.920 So anyway, uh, we'll, we'll talk to John Solomon about the impeachment, new, uh, things

01:27:14.140 coming to the surface and update on Ukraine in one minute.

01:27:17.300 This is the Glimbic program.

01:28:44.840 John Solomon is award-winning investigative journalist.

01:28:59.240 He has worked for the Washington Post, the Washington Times, I think the New York Times,

01:29:03.260 AP, and The Hill.

01:29:05.380 He now has a new website called justthenews.com.

01:29:10.020 Justthenews.com investigative journalist, John Solomon, who is at the New York Times.

01:29:14.840 At the center of much of this scandal in Ukraine.

01:29:21.380 Welcome to the program.

01:29:23.020 Good to be with you, Glenn.

01:29:23.860 Thank you.

01:29:24.520 You want to start with any breaking news, any new news?

01:29:27.320 I do.

01:29:28.000 As a matter of fact, just a few minutes ago, my friends at the Southeastern Legal Foundation

01:29:32.480 and I filed a lawsuit seeking the records of contacts between Ukraine prosecutors and

01:29:38.600 our embassy in Kiev, the U.S.

01:29:39.980 embassy in Kiev.

01:29:41.220 These are some of the contacts that are at the heart of this impeachment trial.

01:29:44.800 And we're at really the focal point of my early reporting on this.

01:29:48.040 There was a dysfunctional relationship between the frontline anti-corruption fighters in Ukraine

01:29:52.260 and our embassy.

01:29:53.060 And that's why I wrote the stories that I did.

01:29:54.560 I put a FOIA in seeking open records requests for this information.

01:30:00.820 It hasn't come.

01:30:01.600 And so today, with the help of the Southeastern Legal Foundation and a great law firm here in

01:30:06.080 D.C., I filed a lawsuit to try to compel the release of these documents.

01:30:10.540 I think they'll give us tremendous insight into what was going on between Ukraine prosecutors

01:30:14.520 and the embassy on all sorts of issues, from the Joe Biden burisma questions to other anti-corruption

01:30:22.080 cases that were going on at the time.

01:30:23.640 Okay, so what does your gut say that they will show or prove?

01:30:31.680 Well, my reporting shows from the past.

01:30:35.360 Remember, there's a Ukraine prosecutor who says that they were, the United States government

01:30:39.660 was pressuring Ukraine prosecutors not to pursue certain cases, including a case against

01:30:44.340 a George Soros-funded non-government organization, a nonprofit.

01:30:49.560 And State Department officials confirmed to me before I wrote that story that, yeah, that

01:30:54.260 did go on.

01:30:55.160 And then we had some of the testimony during the impeachment where they acknowledged that

01:30:58.660 the State Department acknowledged it was pressuring Ukraine prosecutors.

01:31:01.680 Not to pursue certain people.

01:31:03.940 I think we're going to learn a lot more about what motivated those contacts, who those people

01:31:08.620 were, and what sort of communications were going on between the prosecutor's office and

01:31:14.100 the embassy.

01:31:15.980 At the time, we had the Manafort case going on.

01:31:18.220 We had the questions about burisma and Joe Biden, and there was an active investigation in

01:31:22.760 16.

01:31:24.160 I'd like to know what was going on, what sort of function, what sort of communications, who

01:31:27.980 was politically involved.

01:31:29.080 And hopefully when we're done, we're going to learn a lot more than what we know now.

01:31:33.920 So, John, what do you expect or hope will come out of this trial when Ken Starr and Alan

01:31:42.720 Dershowitz and the Trump team step to the plate in probably 10 days from now?

01:31:48.480 Yeah.

01:31:49.040 Listen, it's been a one-sided story so far, just like the beginning of the Russia collusion

01:31:53.220 story, right?

01:31:53.860 And everybody was certain on January 9th of 2017 that the Christopher Steele dossier

01:32:00.400 was gospel and, oh, my God, our president was an agent of Russia.

01:32:04.220 And three years later, we learned out that all of that turned out to be bunt.

01:32:08.320 The most important thing about politics and about investigations is that there's two sides

01:32:13.460 to a story.

01:32:14.040 There's two pieces of evidence.

01:32:15.140 And right now, we've only seen one side of it.

01:32:18.100 And I believe in the trial, we'll begin to see a lot of different new pieces of evidence.

01:32:22.900 For instance, if the president was interested or concerned about corruption, were there specific

01:32:29.560 people around President Zelenskyy, the new Ukrainian president, that he might have been

01:32:33.400 concerned about?

01:32:34.400 Was there a specific cause or pause that caused the administration to hold off giving the money

01:32:40.500 until they could be sure it was spent right?

01:32:43.640 And those are the sort of things we haven't heard from.

01:32:46.220 And I think we're going to learn a lot about what the intelligence community, what the economic

01:32:50.300 and Treasury Department community was telling the president.

01:32:52.760 And I bet the story is way more complicated than the narrative that Adam Schiff has woven

01:32:57.200 so far.

01:32:57.940 So we do know now that there is somebody around the president of Ukraine that Trump is worried

01:33:07.280 about or was worried about.

01:33:08.760 We have that evidence now because of the massive land sale that went to George Soros.

01:33:18.280 And that came from somebody who pressured the president to make this move, who is in his,

01:33:26.860 if you will, cabinet, who is very close to George Soros.

01:33:31.060 So isn't that kind of proof that these people are still around him?

01:33:36.900 Well, there's a lot.

01:33:38.300 Listen, there were there was an oligarch named Kolomoisky who used to run Privat Bank,

01:33:42.600 the large bank in Ukraine.

01:33:43.760 And you can go back in the timelines and look and back in the summer of 2019, in the fall

01:33:49.300 of 2019, the IMF, the Europeans were raising their hands saying we were really concerned

01:33:54.700 about Kolomoisky's return to Ukraine around Zelensky.

01:33:57.500 There are a series of figures of people who played in Ukraine that have big political and

01:34:01.840 economic interests, the Soros, the Kolomoisky's, the Zolchevsky's, the guy who ran Burisma.

01:34:07.980 These are legitimate issues.

01:34:09.540 And what we don't know and what we've been blinded to all this time was what was the CIA?

01:34:14.580 What was the NSC?

01:34:16.000 What were the diplomats?

01:34:16.980 What were the European allies telling to the president?

01:34:19.840 And I suspect there's a much more complicated paradigm that was influencing the president's

01:34:24.740 decision than, oh, I want an investigation of Joe Biden.

01:34:27.880 And by the way, here's the most important part to remember about the Joe Biden investigation,

01:34:32.300 the Burisma investigation.

01:34:33.500 I know Rudy Giuliani was advocating for it.

01:34:35.940 We see Lev Parnas was advocating for it.

01:34:37.900 We know it came up as a matter of discussion in the call, but everybody misses this very

01:34:44.880 important point.

01:34:45.540 Before all that happened, the Ukrainians, on their own, in February of 2019 and in March 0.99

01:34:51.640 of 2019, in Ukraine, announced that they were reopening the investigation of Burisma.

01:34:57.360 It had already happened, so people didn't know.

01:34:59.580 Maybe the NSC didn't tell the president.

01:35:02.380 But the investigation, the president couldn't pressure for an investigation that had already

01:35:06.080 been opened on its own organically because Ukrainians came up with new evidence against 0.98

01:35:10.880 Mr. Zolchevsky and Burisma.

01:35:12.960 And that investigation remains ongoing today.

01:35:16.520 So it started in February and it's still going on today.

01:35:19.480 Reuters reported in December that it had been expanded to even more serious issues than had

01:35:24.440 been previously reported.

01:35:26.200 That keeps getting lost in this impeachment drama.

01:35:30.400 And I think one of the questions senators as jurors have to answer is, if the NSC and the

01:35:34.720 State Department knew the president was seeking an investigation, why didn't they just tell

01:35:39.480 the president, sir, you don't need to worry about it?

01:35:41.260 It already has begun.

01:35:42.520 There was a real gap of information there, it appears, from what we know.

01:35:46.360 We saw all these impeachment witnesses say, we knew the president wanted this, and not

01:35:50.060 a single one of them appears to have told the president, sir, back in February, it already

01:35:53.460 happened.

01:35:53.860 And I think that's one of the issues that the tribe is going to have to try to resolve.

01:35:57.440 What do you think of this Lev Parnas stuff?

01:36:02.880 Well, you know, listen, I have a lot of knowledge of Lev Parnas.

01:36:05.960 He was one of about 50, 55 people that I worked with as I spent over 18 months working on the

01:36:12.500 Ukraine story.

01:36:13.900 I met him through my attorneys, or one of my attorneys, Joe and Victoria Tenzing.

01:36:19.020 At the time, I had drafted up most of the stories that ultimately had been, you know, later

01:36:23.980 were published in mid-March to mid-May.

01:36:27.060 Most of them had been drafted already, but I had this one problem.

01:36:30.040 I had all the documents, and I had a lot of people on background, but I didn't have any

01:36:33.720 Ukrainians on the record.

01:36:35.080 And so when I talked to Joe and Victoria about my concern, as you do when you're a journalist

01:36:39.380 talking to your lawyer about libel review and things, they said, hey, we didn't know

01:36:43.420 you were working on Ukraine stuff.

01:36:44.680 We have some business there.

01:36:45.760 We have a guy, a fixer, a facilitator, an interpreter named Lev Parnas.

01:36:52.420 And how about we introduce you?

01:36:53.520 I bet you he could get you the sort of interviews that you're still lacking.

01:36:56.460 So they set up a meeting.

01:36:58.780 I reached out.

01:36:59.960 He said, you know, I'd be glad to help you.

01:37:01.020 Who do you know?

01:37:01.740 Or who do you want to know?

01:37:02.820 And I said, well, I've been trying to reach the prosecutor general's office.

01:37:06.000 I gave him a list of about seven or eight people.

01:37:08.600 And very quickly, he proved that he did know who he knew.

01:37:11.420 And he was able to arrange Mr. Lusenko, the prosecutor general, the attorney general of

01:37:16.720 Ukraine, and several other figures that I was looking for to talk on the record, on camera,

01:37:21.520 so that every American could look in their eyes and see what they were saying and hear

01:37:25.240 them on the record.

01:37:25.980 No anonymity, no anonymous stuff.

01:37:28.540 And so, you know, in that respect, he was helpful.

01:37:30.980 He had his own motives, his own interests.

01:37:32.920 He had business interests.

01:37:33.940 I knew he worked for Rudy Giuliani.

01:37:35.420 I knew he worked for lots of other people.

01:37:37.140 He told me he worked with lots of other reporters.

01:37:39.240 Doesn't surprise me.

01:37:40.200 But this is what reporters do on a daily basis, particularly when you're working in a foreign

01:37:44.320 country.

01:37:44.840 You have what we call fixers or facilitators on the ground, because you're not in Ukraine

01:37:48.860 full time.

01:37:49.520 And so you have people that have contacts.

01:37:51.800 And, hey, could you get this person to talk to me?

01:37:54.780 And when that happens, one of the things that hopefully will become public, every time Lev

01:38:01.020 Parnas arranged an interview, I always went through the press office of the official government

01:38:04.420 agency after that.

01:38:05.380 So if he opened the door, I still went through the official channels to make sure there were

01:38:08.780 no side deals, no unusual behavior.

01:38:11.680 And in all those cases, I put those interviews out.

01:38:14.460 The videos are public.

01:38:15.520 Everybody can see what happened.

01:38:17.580 Beyond that, you know, that's what Lev did for me.

01:38:20.420 And, you know, obviously he had some issues in his background.

01:38:23.580 When you're dealing in Ukraine, you meet lots of colorful characters.

01:38:26.280 He was one of them.

01:38:27.120 Yeah.

01:38:27.360 All right.

01:38:27.780 I want to talk to you.

01:38:29.580 I'll tell you what Rudy Giuliani told me about him.

01:38:31.800 And then I'd like to get your best guess on what's happening with him and the president

01:38:41.440 and him with the left in Congress.

01:38:44.620 John Solomon, investigative reporter.

01:39:02.600 Look, I'm a small business guy.

01:39:04.500 And one of the problems that we had early on at the Blaze, because we were on the, not

01:39:09.000 the leading edge, the bleeding edge.

01:39:10.720 We were way early on everything that we were doing.

01:39:14.140 We had to invent the technology that everybody is using now.

01:39:17.820 We had to forge our own way when we started.

01:39:21.820 And one of the things that we never got was our numbers.

01:39:27.080 We just couldn't track what was going on.

01:39:31.220 And I mean numbers from all departments that make up your business.

01:39:34.740 You have to know the information or you have no idea what your business is.

01:39:41.120 It's like an octopus.

01:40:29.060 Station ID.

01:40:39.120 So we're back with John Solomon and John, I know that I asked Rudy Giuliani the same question

01:40:54.800 a few weeks ago about Lev because he's a shady guy.

01:40:58.760 And he said, look, Len, when you're in a foreign country and especially a country like Ukraine

01:41:03.920 and you're looking to find out the details of the underworld,

01:41:08.040 you're not going to meet all of the finest people.

01:41:12.000 And he said, this guy, just like you said, I used him to, you know, line up conversations

01:41:20.020 and help me connect, blah, blah, blah.

01:41:22.520 What is the text messages that have been shared this week?

01:41:31.300 Any idea what that was about?

01:41:34.540 I don't.

01:41:35.480 I mean, listen, there's a lot of text messages.

01:41:36.980 Some of them involved my efforts to report and to get, see if he could open up doors for

01:41:41.900 me to talk to people.

01:41:43.140 That's the normal reporting that goes on every day.

01:41:45.480 And I don't think there's anything untoward about them.

01:41:47.640 There's a lot of things he was involved in that I wasn't aware of at the time.

01:41:50.500 I never heard about this monitoring effort of the ambassador or who this guy was, this

01:41:56.620 congressional candidate.

01:41:57.720 You know, it was clear to me early on, Lev Parnas and I, when I talked, I said, you know,

01:42:04.500 what motivates you to work on this with me?

01:42:08.200 And he said, and it's a very profound statement.

01:42:11.440 And I will say this, too.

01:42:12.860 When I dealt with him, I found him to be professional.

01:42:15.440 He didn't do anything untoward.

01:42:16.960 He didn't suggest anything untoward.

01:42:18.920 He was a character, you know, funny, garrulous, but never had any idea that he was involved

01:42:25.340 in any criminality or anything like that.

01:42:26.880 You know, he seemed pretty straightforward.

01:42:28.800 And I asked him, you know, why would you want to help me on this?

01:42:31.020 And he said, I've watched Ukraine for 20 years, say they're fighting corruption.

01:42:35.460 And we go through the same cycle.

01:42:37.120 Every two years, a prosecutor's name.

01:42:38.600 Two years later, he's deemed corrupt.

01:42:40.380 We name another prosecutor.

01:42:41.620 And corruption never gets fought.

01:42:43.600 And right now, in my country, my home country, in Ukraine, I see a real dysfunction between

01:42:52.260 the embassy, the prosecutors, and what we would call the FBI, NABU.

01:42:57.040 And I want to help you bring that to light, because at some point, we got to fix it.

01:43:00.320 Or every time we spend money in Ukraine, we're putting it down the toilet. 0.58

01:43:03.460 And so he had a very impassioned view.

01:43:05.300 And his view was very identical to what I had been hearing for six or eight months from

01:43:10.200 Ukrainians on the ground.

01:43:11.480 And when I did the epic interviews with, you know, the attorney general and some of his

01:43:14.960 top deputies in Ukraine, they said the same thing, which is, our relationship is so bad

01:43:20.120 with the embassy right now, I'm not sure we know how to fight corruption.

01:43:23.240 And that appeared to be what motivated him in helping me.

01:43:26.620 These other things that were going on, what he and Rudy were doing, you know, I had a general

01:43:30.380 idea that Rudy was doing his own investigation in Ukraine.

01:43:33.240 Eventually, after my stories ran, he shared his findings with me, and I was grateful that

01:43:38.140 he did.

01:43:39.140 But I think a lot, you know, everybody in Ukraine has an angle.

01:43:43.360 Everybody in Ukraine has a motive. 0.97

01:43:45.400 It's a country where people are endemically corrupt.

01:43:48.700 And I was aware of that.

01:43:49.920 I said so in all my stories.

01:43:51.360 And I tried my hardest to make sure no one motive, no one angle would influence the story.

01:43:56.840 I stuck to the facts.

01:43:57.760 When I got these prosecutors on record, I went to the State Department.

01:44:01.220 I took 10 days and waited for the State Department to give me an answer.

01:44:04.360 So, you know, I think the reporting wasn't influenced by it.

01:44:07.680 But where, you know, was he doing some things?

01:44:09.920 I think we have to figure out what exactly he was doing.

01:44:12.160 It didn't affect my reporting.

01:44:13.480 But it's certainly intriguing in the middle of this impeachment that it suddenly surfaces

01:44:18.200 as the Democrats begin to make their case.

01:44:21.300 As a journalist, how do you deal if this is you're now just coming across him?

01:44:26.500 How do you deal with the, you know, the note that he wrote in the hotel and his new, you

01:44:36.680 know, testimony now on television, at least, that Donald Trump was up to, you know, I guess

01:44:42.800 no good, and he knew it.

01:44:45.600 How do you deal with that?

01:44:48.380 You know, every person has to answer for the conduct.

01:44:52.420 What I have to answer for are my stories.

01:44:54.060 Were the stories that I wrote in March and April and May accurate.

01:44:57.400 No, but what I'm asking you is, as a respected, in my opinion, a respected journalist, how do

01:45:05.100 you handle this now?

01:45:06.340 Would you be reporting this the way the press is reporting this now?

01:45:10.360 Are they being responsible?

01:45:12.560 Well, here's a funny thing.

01:45:13.600 A lot of people, Lev Parnas has said a lot of things about me in the last 24, 48 hours.

01:45:18.500 Not a single news outlet that's reported on those things even called to get my side of

01:45:22.180 the story to see if it's true.

01:45:24.060 That tells you something about the nature of reporting today.

01:45:26.820 And it's why we got, when I say we, the news industry got Russia wrong and why they probably

01:45:30.780 have a lot of the Ukraine story wrong now.

01:45:33.040 The way you deal with these things is you listen to Lev and you write his side story,

01:45:37.260 but you also go talk to the other people, the Victoria Tencings and the Joe DeGenevas

01:45:41.360 and the Rudy Giuliani's and I, for months, I kept watching that people say, I just took

01:45:48.480 Rudy's stuff and wrote it.

01:45:49.840 It's the other way around.

01:45:50.700 I wrote my stuff and then Rudy gave me his stuff afterwards.

01:45:53.160 Right.

01:45:53.360 You can confirm that with Rudy.

01:45:54.720 Right.

01:45:54.880 But no one in the press even cares about timetables, facts.

01:45:57.960 There's a hysterical, breathless, crazy part of the media today and we don't get things

01:46:02.200 right and we let our American public down every time we do so.

01:46:04.860 I've got about a minute, so I need to phrase this quickly.

01:46:08.400 The Hill said they're going to do an investigation on all of your stuff.

01:46:11.620 And it was widely reported that you were under investigation by the Hill.

01:46:15.220 Then we hear nothing about it.

01:46:16.700 Did they investigate?

01:46:17.800 Did they do anything?

01:46:19.100 Did...

01:46:19.380 I don't know.

01:46:19.840 I haven't heard from them.

01:46:20.800 I will say this.

01:46:21.540 It was my idea.

01:46:22.480 I encouraged them to do so because I think when people look at the facts of my story,

01:46:26.240 everything's going to be fine.

01:46:27.420 But so far, I don't know anything more than what's in the public.

01:46:30.540 I remain confident that what I reported was accurate, that it was balanced, that it had

01:46:34.260 the right context.

01:46:35.160 It had the warnings about Ukraine being corrupt.

01:46:37.580 And I think anyone who went and took a look at my response to Lieutenant Colonel Vindman

01:46:41.440 when he attacked my reporting, I just put all the facts out.

01:46:44.860 John Solomon from JustTheNews.com.

01:46:48.860 That's JustTheNews.com.

01:46:51.060 John Solomon, we'll talk to you again.

01:46:54.100 You're listening to Glenn Beck.

01:46:56.660 American Financing Corporation, NMLS 182334, www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org.

01:47:35.940 Because you're not being given a mortgage.

01:47:39.920 That loan isn't given.

01:47:40.960 I hope the bank gives me that loan.

01:47:42.460 They're not giving it to you.

01:47:43.360 They're selling it to you.

01:47:44.700 You need somebody who's on your side, and that's American Financing.

01:48:43.520 We're so glad that you're joining us today.

01:48:46.340 Thank you for listening.

01:48:47.700 It's been a crazy week for us here, for me personally.

01:48:53.180 My father-in-law, just an update.

01:48:54.940 My father-in-law just had another test today on his heart and a liver biopsy,

01:49:00.600 but hopefully he'll be going home in the next few days.

01:49:05.240 You know, the best we can expect, I think, is happening right now.

01:49:10.780 Mary got an update from the doctors yesterday.

01:49:14.860 My daughter Mary is at UT Medical where she has undergone brain surgery,

01:49:22.560 the first of probably two, and the technology is just remarkable.

01:49:31.680 And what doctors can do today is truly remarkable.

01:49:36.720 We got some good news from her yesterday that they have to do another kind of

01:49:41.720 another invasive test where it involves putting one side of the brain asleep

01:49:48.100 and then having her awake and talk to her and have her move. 0.99

01:49:52.920 And then they wake that side of the brain up and put the other side of the brain to sleep.

01:49:57.260 It's crazy, crazy what they can do today.

01:50:02.000 Did you consider going to Venezuela to get the surgery?

01:50:08.300 Because, I mean, it seems like they have such a great...

01:50:10.120 No, Cuba was booked.

01:50:11.220 Oh, okay.

01:50:11.960 Cuba was booked.

01:50:12.460 That makes a lot of sense.

01:50:13.780 But we're actually now praying for the surgery that would require a full craniotomy.

01:50:18.500 Uh, and I know that sounds crazy, but, um, they, they think that, um, they might be able

01:50:27.900 to give her at least a 75% chance of a cure on epilepsy, which would be life changing for

01:50:34.920 her update on Jeffy.

01:50:36.800 I was at the hospital.

01:50:37.760 I left my daughter's hospital.

01:50:39.720 I went cross town to Jeffy's hospital where he just had a, uh, uh, gallbladder removed.

01:50:45.860 Um, he had, uh, gallbladder and something else that you never think of in your body,

01:50:52.400 uh, was, it was involved.

01:50:54.620 I know so many of his organs have tried to escape.

01:50:56.960 It's interesting to see them removed.

01:50:58.060 This one was, yeah, this one was practically jumping out of his body.

01:51:01.660 Yeah.

01:51:02.120 Uh, and, uh, I, I got the list of the things he can eat and he's almost suicidal.

01:51:08.600 Uh, it's like, there's nothing on that, that now without your gallbladder, you are, well,

01:51:16.520 you might like legumes and nuts.

01:51:21.620 Um, don't confuse me with a healthy person.

01:51:24.660 Yeah.

01:51:24.920 Yeah.

01:51:25.340 I mean, it's, it's a horrible diet, but it'll be good for him.

01:51:28.800 It'll be good for him.

01:51:29.660 Um, but he's in, in, uh, good spirits and I think that's the end of the hospital updates,

01:51:35.460 but please keep praying for everybody and, and, and thank you so much for the prayers

01:51:39.980 you've already offered.

01:51:41.160 Now, Stu announced earlier this week, uh, that he is putting on a new show, uh, and the new

01:51:50.400 show is Stu Does America.

01:51:53.140 It is a, it's like, uh, it's like the daily show with Trevor Oliver, except funny.

01:51:58.380 John Oliver, I believe.

01:51:59.720 And he's also not the daily show.

01:52:01.580 And also I would.

01:52:02.540 Yeah.

01:52:02.740 Trevor.

01:52:03.200 I mean, I meant Trevor Noah.

01:52:04.960 Trevor Noah.

01:52:05.480 Got it.

01:52:05.740 Trevor Noah.

01:52:06.260 You're combining the two names.

01:52:07.360 Yeah.

01:52:07.600 I can.

01:52:08.200 I, I, I've blocked Trevor Noah's name and everything.

01:52:13.280 Wow.

01:52:13.820 Is that an unfunny show?

01:52:15.160 Um, but it will air on, on blaze TV and YouTube.

01:52:19.140 You just have to go subscribe to Stu's, uh, YouTube page, which is Stu does.

01:52:25.240 If you go to studoesamerica.com, you'll get all the links there.

01:52:27.820 Okay.

01:52:30.920 Uh, if you listen to podcasts at all, if you're listening to this as a podcast, please subscribe

01:52:34.500 as well.

01:52:35.060 Okay.

01:52:36.080 Um, and so tomorrow on my podcast, I'm doing something that we've never even considered

01:52:42.340 and we've never even done personally with each other.

01:52:46.600 Uh, and I took the podcast in 90 minutes and I just interviewed Stu about what his journey

01:52:55.660 over the last 20 years with me.

01:52:58.740 Cause it's the 20th anniversary of the radio show this week, basically.

01:53:01.580 Uh, and yeah, we go over a lot of the big news stories.

01:53:05.600 If you remember the big stories that the show has been involved in, how the show kind of came

01:53:09.880 together initially.

01:53:11.660 Uh, basically the, all the behind the scenes that you can think of.

01:53:14.780 Yeah.

01:53:15.060 And we got to about half of it.

01:53:17.220 And, and it was an interesting conversation because I found myself really curious about

01:53:23.120 what Stu had to say.

01:53:24.200 Cause I had no idea we've done so many things like we were just talking about it off the

01:53:28.940 air.

01:53:29.120 I have no idea what he was thinking or where he was or, or anything outside of a decision

01:53:37.520 making meeting when we decided to go to Fox.

01:53:40.380 And we were talking about when we went to CNN, none of us wanted to go.

01:53:45.280 We didn't want to do, we thought that was a bad deal at first.

01:53:50.000 I went kind of against my will and Stu was really like, I don't want the cable news is

01:53:55.700 not where we want to be.

01:53:57.200 Let's just be funny and yada, yada, yada.

01:54:00.560 And I don't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that we went to cable news, but

01:54:03.900 we did.

01:54:05.120 Um, we did, here's a clip from the podcast that you'll be able to hear tomorrow, anywhere

01:54:10.280 you get your podcast.

01:54:11.400 But if you're a blaze TV subscriber, you can get it right now.

01:54:14.400 It's a fascinating 90 minute, uh, look at the behind the scenes.

01:54:19.640 Here's what I asked Stu.

01:54:22.360 Um, what did we learn?

01:54:24.260 What did you learn from CNN and that experience?

01:54:28.420 Listen to his answer.

01:54:30.460 What was the biggest thing you learned first from CNN?

01:54:35.600 Well, you know, it was interesting that we even got hired there.

01:54:38.540 I mean, I remember thinking there was no chance that was going to actually happen.

01:54:41.620 Yeah.

01:54:41.700 Um, and they put us on and I was, you know, they were, I bought a house, if I'm not mistaken,

01:54:46.340 before they made the offer.

01:54:48.220 Yes, I believe that's true.

01:54:49.200 We were happy about that, by the way.

01:54:50.580 That was really exciting for us.

01:54:52.600 Uh, that was, that's the way every move happens.

01:54:54.840 Glenn makes, goes and buys a house before we lock it in.

01:54:57.900 And then we were like, oh, well now we, I guess we have to go home there.

01:55:01.620 Um, yeah, I mean, it was, uh, cause we, there was some conflict internally, I think at that

01:55:07.140 point as to whether a cable news show was the right thing, you know?

01:55:10.740 I mean, we, the show was doing really well on radio.

01:55:12.920 We were growing quickly.

01:55:14.400 You were pretty well known.

01:55:16.040 And I remember thinking like, gosh, really like cable news?

01:55:19.240 Like we're going to go on there and do this thing that everybody, you know, that's what

01:55:21.520 you're supposed to do.

01:55:22.280 We all hate it.

01:55:23.020 Yeah.

01:55:23.220 None of us really liked the idea.

01:55:24.820 And I think, I think, you know, I'm looking back in retrospect incorrectly because it

01:55:28.940 was, it was a way to, it really did change the level of your profile.

01:55:33.840 But we changed it.

01:55:35.840 Yeah.

01:55:36.140 No, cause we did something different and we knew we were going to do something different

01:55:38.960 and we weren't going to do it unless, unless we could.

01:55:41.500 I didn't want to go in there and do the same old blah, blah, blah, talking heads type of

01:55:44.820 thing.

01:55:45.060 Um, so when we went into CNN, I mean, I remember doing things that were, it helped, it helped

01:55:54.600 shape my understanding of the media in a way I don't know that like the audience necessarily

01:55:58.660 always connects with and that like, we would do things on the air that were really basic

01:56:04.580 knowledge for the average talk radio listener, you know, things that were like, okay, remember

01:56:09.440 this quote from this guy and you'd bring that up in passing.

01:56:12.500 And especially when we first started, we would get hit from standards and practices, which

01:56:16.660 is like the branch of CNN.

01:56:18.460 This is interesting to me.

01:56:19.440 Most people may not even know this or believe this, but I was on the floor and sometimes

01:56:24.580 it would take us two or three hours to cut an hour long show.

01:56:29.600 Yeah.

01:56:30.020 Um, you should be able to cut an hour long show in about 50 minutes.

01:56:34.320 Yeah.

01:56:34.600 Right.

01:56:35.100 It sometimes took us three hours to cut and I was never privy to the stalls.

01:56:43.000 Yeah.

01:56:43.180 I would just be told, uh, break down the computer or, you know, break down in the control room.

01:56:49.040 This is happening.

01:56:50.100 This is happening.

01:56:50.580 Don't worry.

01:56:51.040 We'll catch it.

01:56:51.620 But you were actually in the control room with standards and practices along with all

01:56:57.200 the others on my staff that worked for Mercury.

01:57:01.000 That was the smartest thing we did, uh, that we're having to have these battles.

01:57:07.000 Yeah.

01:57:07.320 And they would be like on really basic things like we, you know, cause I talk radio, like

01:57:10.720 there, there's a, these certain things will become part of the conversation and everyone

01:57:16.420 sort of understands them.

01:57:17.320 You don't need to explain them every single time.

01:57:19.100 And we'd make points and they would push back on them.

01:57:21.760 And I'm like, do you not know this?

01:57:24.060 Do you not know this person said this?

01:57:25.640 And that really, that enlightened me into the way the media actually works because, uh,

01:57:30.980 a lot of times they don't know it.

01:57:33.680 I would, you know, I really think we should do a, uh, like a, a doc series, uh, on just

01:57:40.040 some of the things we've learned in the media because none of us have ever talked about it.

01:57:44.020 And I didn't realize it until this podcast and, um, what we all learned and what we all

01:57:49.800 saw, I think is, you know, it led me to the place where I said at the end of Fox, this whole

01:57:56.880 place, meaning New York media, it's all going to burn down.

01:58:00.800 It's all going to burn down.

01:58:01.980 It's not real. 0.96

01:58:02.660 It's going to burn itself to the ground.

01:58:05.160 And that was one of my real feelings of we've got to get out of New York media.

01:58:10.740 Um, uh, but we all learn so much that if the American people knew really what we have

01:58:21.420 seen each of us, uh, I think, I think their understanding of why you can't trust the, the

01:58:32.620 people to repair themselves, the media will never ever repair itself.

01:58:37.320 It will never heal.

01:58:39.620 It will, it won't turn the other direction and suddenly go, Oh my gosh, I get it.

01:58:45.900 We're out of step with the American people. 0.90

01:58:47.580 It will never happen.

01:58:49.100 And, and I'm thinking about one extensive long, uh, trial at CNN that involved one individual

01:58:59.060 who, uh, was very, you know, very vocal in the building about how much they hated me.

01:59:04.780 Uh, you know, you know who I'm talking about?

01:59:06.680 Yeah.

01:59:06.800 I'm sorry about that.

01:59:07.580 I just did it a couple of times.

01:59:08.660 I was at a couple of meetings.

01:59:10.120 Well, and they've, and he's still here and he's never going to change.

01:59:14.500 No, but I'm thinking of that.

01:59:16.700 And, and once you know that piece of information, it starts to unlock how they're always going

01:59:25.520 to behave.

01:59:26.720 You know what I mean?

01:59:27.520 Yeah.

01:59:27.820 I don't know that anything I saw there at the time would have, would have led me to

01:59:32.820 believe they would go as far as they've gone in the last couple of years.

01:59:36.560 No, especially the way they fought against me.

01:59:38.680 Yeah.

01:59:39.280 You know, but you know, they, they were fighting against me because I was, uh, irrational and

01:59:45.560 I wasn't based in fact.

01:59:47.260 And I didn't have, when we were, we talk about in this special, how much better CNN made us

01:59:53.480 because they made us prove everything.

01:59:56.960 Yeah.

01:59:57.320 So when we got to Fox, we didn't need standards in practice.

02:00:00.160 It was so easy for us.

02:00:02.040 Um, and, uh, and we were self policing ourselves, which was a great, great advantage.

02:00:09.060 One of the weird things about going through that process and like working at a CNN, like

02:00:12.620 there, there are people that I absolutely loved that we work with there and still do.

02:00:17.820 Yep.

02:00:18.200 And it's, and it's amazing that you, you kind of see how this goes on and it's easy to

02:00:22.280 kind of think of these, you know, of an organization like that as this like monolithic, there's a

02:00:27.140 lot of people there.

02:00:27.900 I guarantee it.

02:00:28.920 And some of them that I actually know for sure feel this way that CNN has gone off their

02:00:35.980 rocker recently and, uh, they don't look at it the same way.

02:00:41.000 And that is like, it is a, it's a weird thing because you think about this.

02:00:44.440 A lot of times you see this with conservatives and there's some like liberal who's saying

02:00:47.620 who leaves the organization and gets promoted by the media.

02:00:50.220 Those things don't necessarily happen the other way, but those people exist.

02:00:53.240 They're there and they're looking at this, even if they're not conservatives, they're just

02:00:56.100 like, this is crazy.

02:00:57.200 Like what happened to us trying to actually bring the news and not bring an agenda?

02:01:01.800 You know, we went over this, the CNN app one day I went on there and the first

02:01:05.420 like 28 stories on their list were all things negative about Trump.

02:01:09.800 It's like, I look, you might not like the guy.

02:01:11.500 You might think he's a bad president, but there's not another news story to cover in

02:01:15.140 the entire world other than Donald Trump and things you think he did the wrong way.

02:01:19.240 And that can't be the way that this has to be.

02:01:21.940 And that's not just us feeling that those are people in those buildings feeling that

02:01:26.440 way.

02:01:26.780 All right.

02:01:26.900 If you are a subscriber to blaze TV, just go there.

02:01:50.480 career with Stu, uh, all exposed, all exposed.

02:01:55.460 We should, um, point out that we are fully closed in the episode.

02:02:02.340 Uh, that's, uh, you said exposed, not fully exposed just so we, so somebody turns it on.

02:02:07.980 Speak for yourself, sister.

02:02:09.560 All right.

02:02:10.300 Let me, let me tell you a little bit about X chair.

02:02:12.760 X chair is the chair that I, uh, got my wife for Christmas because that's what she wanted. 0.99

02:02:19.000 She asked for an X chair and then she was really sweet and she was like, Oh my gosh, 0.82

02:02:21.880 I completely forgot about the X chair.

02:02:23.640 I'm like, no, you didn't.

02:02:24.860 But I appreciate that.

02:02:26.540 She loves it.

02:02:28.360 Um, I have an X chair in my office and the reason why she wanted one is because she would 1.00

02:02:32.620 come, uh, you know, while I was having meetings or something, she'd be doing something at my

02:02:36.100 desk and she'd sit in the chair and she'd be like, this is the greatest chair.

02:02:38.900 How come I don't have one in my office?

02:02:40.780 Okay.

02:02:41.260 Okay.

02:02:41.540 Dear, it is really that different of a chair.

02:02:45.880 It's, it's the new, uh, standard really of great looking and comfortable office chairs.

02:02:54.580 There was only one that I've known that, you know, could claim that I can't remember the

02:02:59.680 name of it, but it's, you know, it's the people that make the airport chairs and they've

02:03:03.340 claimed that they made the best chair and it was okay.

02:03:06.300 I didn't think it was worth the money.

02:03:07.520 This is 10 times better than that and well worth the money.

02:03:13.960 And right now you'll save a hundred dollars.

02:03:16.160 Just go to xchairbeck.com, xchairbeck, B-E-C-K.com, uh, and look at all of the chairs, all of the

02:03:24.000 options, find one that fits you, fits your budget, uh, fits the look of your home.
