Best of The Program | Guests: Jon Miller & Jason Buttrill | 2/10/20

Carls Jr.'s the only place to get the classic Western bacon cheeseburger.

Those onion rings, all that bacon, that tangy barbecue?

Well, have you tangoed with spicy western bacon?

Can you ride out the jalapeno heat?

Take a pepper jack punch.

For a limited time, it's high time for a spicy western reintroduction.

Well, hello and welcome to Monday, the day after Stu's birthday, the day of my birthday.

I mean, a date that will live in infamy.

And we're glad you're here.

We talk a little bit about age and how fast it's going and how fast Joe Biden is going, quite honestly.

He's slipping in more ways than one.

Slipping in age and also slipping in the polls.

We talk about Biden versus Buddha Judge.

We talk about the coronavirus.

To panic or not to panic, what's happening there?

John Miller, who is our White House brief specialist at the Blaze, he was in a lot of trouble.

He's still, at least at this hour, trending nationally as an incredible racist.

Good thing for him he's black and we've all learned that you can't be racist and black.

But we called him on the carpet for a tweet that is totally understandable.

If you know the context, and of course, nobody in Hollywood at the Oscars cared about the context.

Also, Rudy Giuliani, the documents that he produced, the documents that we produced last Thursday night.

It looks like this is headed forward.

And also, if you're listening to this podcast, may I suggest you give Stu DoesAmerica a listen today, first day of the podcast, and I hear it's really great.

And you subscribe for free, Glenn.

Did you know that?

Yeah, I did.

So, Stu DoesAmerica, wherever you get your podcast, or you could watch it at theblazetv.com or YouTube.

Or, you know, he'll perform, he'll come to your house.

He's so desperate.

You're listening to

the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

Glenn!

Hey, hey, hey.

Hey, how are you?

Pretty good.

Happy birthday, Glenn.

Happy birthday to you.

Glenn's birthday is today, mine yesterday.

Yesterday.

It's great.

We were in the nursery side by side.

I was still

20 sitting in that little

crib thing.

But hey, nobody came to the hospital to pick me up.

So anyway,

today is a special day

because Stu's show premieres tonight.

Yes, big deal.

Yes, it is.

You got the best executive producer ever.

Ever.

The name of the show is Executive Produced by Glenn Beck.

That's what the name of the show is.

Now,

we've thrown Stu a bone and said, all right, Stu does America.

I'm not necessarily uncomfortable with this presentation because if it bombs really badly, you can be blamed.

No, I can just say it's the talent.

Is that what executive producers get to do?

Because I've never had that ability.

It's the talent.

Yeah.

I tried.

Interesting.

I tried.

Yeah, he just wouldn't listen to me.

I've been executive producer for you for how many years?

And now you get to turn the tables on that tonight.

That's right.

That's right.

Tonight.

So what time is it air?

8 p.m.

Eastern.

Can't make it.

Can't make it.

Too late in the day for me.

I've already had

my Denny's early meal, like 3.30 in the afternoon.

Look, I'm turning into a senior citizen quickly, I think.

We'll tape it before you go to Denny's.

Okay, well, if you want.

Yes.

All right.

All right.

We could do that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Pretty excited about that.

And then then you, of course, are turning.

How old today?

40?

84.

Wow.

56, which I'm telling you,

not good.

Not good.

You're in trouble with this.

I am.

I didn't have it at 50.

I didn't have it at 40.

I did at 40.

At 40, I realized I have done nothing with my life.

Nothing with my life.

That's pretty much accurate.

Right.

And then within 10 years, I had two successful television shows, what, 15 number one New York Times bestsellers,

national radio program, and

started a company called The Blaze.

By 50, I wanted to die.

So the 50s are my underachieving years, I think, you know, where it's just kind of like, yeah.

I did all that 10 years ago.

So

I'm going to.

But there's something weird weird because on my 60th, three years away, all my contracts expire.

And I am looking at, you know, I saw Rush Limbaugh

and

I hope he has accomplished his dreams, but my dad is haunting me in my dreams.

I'm like having nightmares about my dad all the time.

All the time.

Because he told you

your whole life, basically, that all he wanted to do was eventually get to a place where he could just go out and play golf and enjoy a round of golf every day.

And he never

did it.

Never did it.

Why?

Because he got sick or was it because

his body was in such bad condition from working.

He did hard labor, picking up his body.

Just like his son.

I mean, his labor.

Hard labor, like he was.

Hard labor.

So anyway, so

his body was so broken down by the time he retired that he couldn't do anything.

And I'm like, hmm, nah, I'm not going to do that.

You're going to try to get out early?

I'm going to try to get out early.

No, I'm just going to start doing the things I want to do.

Well, because you made an interesting point earlier today

that I thought was

going to haunt you for a while.

Because your career,

you got nationally syndicated in radio.

I don't know if people know this.

You were nationally syndicated in radio.

We signed the contract in August of 2001.

So before September 11th happened, we were supposed to start the radio shows in a national form in January 2002.

And then they moved it up after September 11th to just launch it early and just like go, you know, bootstrap toward a, you know, we just went with it.

And so that's a big moment in your career, 2001.

Yeah, yeah.

Is there any observation about the difference between that time and today that you'd want to?

Did it seem like a long time ago?

Doesn't really seem, seems like it's gone pretty quickly, like really fast.

Really fast.

Yeah.

Because it's 2020, that's 19 years.

Did you do any math that?

Nope.

Did no math.

Really?

No, did no math.

I can help you with it.

So basically, you are equidistant from September 11th and your 75th birthday.

Yeah, thank you.

Thank you.

I realized that the other day, and I was like, good Lord, I'm dead.

I might as well start putting myself in the box now if it goes that fast.

And it was my dad's 75th that he was like starting to really be broken down.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, you know, I will say you're 75th.

You could probably run for the Democratic nomination to get that going for you.

No, I think you have to be 80 now.

You have to be 80.

Did you see Bloomberg where he was like, what?

I'm not as American as Pete Buttigiege.

I'm older than Pete Buttigiege.

I've been an American a lot longer than Pete Buttigiege.

In fact,

I've been an American longer than Joe Biden.

That's not something

inside.

Sweetheart.

That's not something you're sharing.

Is he older than Biden?

That's what he said.

What was it on Thursday?

Thursday?

I had no idea.

No, he's a lot like Trump.

They just are, they're just going and going and going.

Yeah, because, you know, Biden looks like he's slipping.

Bloomberg has not.

I mean, he's not a...

He would be a terrible president.

He's a horrible human being in a hundred different ways.

Oh, my God.

But I don't think he doesn't.

Horrible.

He doesn't feel like he's slipping, per se.

No.

He doesn't feel like he's not.

He does not feel like he's, what?

He's got to be at least 79.

How old is he?

Bloomberg is 77.

Okay, Bloomberg's 77, Biden's 78.

But they're basically the same age.

I would have have guessed early 70s for Bloomberg.

Yeah, me too.

Me too.

No, Biden is actually saying Biden in the 77.

We're getting.

Are you checking?

This is why you need a good shadow producer.

She's using.

She's outsourced this search to Shadow Incorporated.

Okay, well, it's right around the same age.

She's trying to calculate with birthdays, but you get the point here.

So you're equidistant from September 11th and Joe Biden.

I'm just about

to a couple of

basically.

Wow.

You're halfway there.

Wow.

And what a great run it's been.

Yeah.

You know,

I will say this.

This is not

this is

not as bad as the thing I unfortunately discovered quite recently called the Brimley Cocoon line.

Are you familiar with this?

No, but I don't like it already.

It's terrible.

Oh, it's terrible.

So basically,

it's a Twitter account, and all it does is tweet people who cross the Brimley-Cocoon line.

What is the Brimley-Cocoon line?

It's the exact age to the day that Wilford Brimley was when Cocoon came out in theaters.

And he was crossing over to the other side.

Right.

Like, he was like, I have to go in this alien

pool

so I can be younger again.

And I remember in my head

seeing that movie and thinking he was like 152 years old.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean, maybe they played it up.

Just be careful because I'm still going to be alive.

You're probably still going to be working for me when you hit 56.

56?

56.

You're 56.

Yeah.

So I thought to myself, I would like to see how close Glenn is to the Brimley Cocoon line so I can torture him when he crosses it.

Yeah.

And by the time that I cross the Brimley Cocoon line, he'll be so, like, he'll be nine homes deep.

Like, he'll be in all basically hospice at that point.

So I should be fine.

Yeah.

So I went and checked on it.

Wilford Brimley, when Cocoon came out in theaters, was 18,530 days old.

That comes out to

not 57, 50.7.

You passed the Wilford Brimley Cocoon line about

six years ago.

In fact, I went back.

I'm like, I wonder if they noted when Glenn crossed the line.

So I tried to scroll back.

It was only created in 2018.

Shut up.

You can't even go back to the time that you crossed the line.

Shut up.

Like a cool line.

Shut up.

And these are terrifying clothes.

Just remember that I was about 40 something when I got my first real network show.

Yeah.

Okay.

Uh-huh.

You're 44.

Right.

And I'm on your network.

I mean, I didn't get that yet either.

Right.

And you, I had producers that liked me.

That's true.

Yeah.

And I do not, apparently.

Apparently not.

Let me give you a couple of things.

This is worse and worse.

This is the Brimlink a cool line.

These are some of recent people who have just crossed the line.

Think about what Wilford Brimley in the movie Cocoon felt like when that movie came out.

Tracy Gold from Growing Pains.

She was the teenage daughter in Growing Pains.

She just crossed the line.

Tucker Carlson

just crossed the line.

Tucker Carlson is older than Wilford Brimley was in Cocoon.

He does not look it.

It doesn't.

I think my hair does not help.

help.

No, it probably doesn't.

But

I can't color it.

Again, I wouldn't want to in the first place.

But it's like, you know, you got a head of white hair.

You just.

How come that worked for Richard Gere and it doesn't work for me?

Right?

Oh, there's so many ways to do it.

It works for so many people.

I can't even.

I mean, we don't have that long of a show.

I mean, it's not.

You're in deep trouble tonight.

Watch the.

Okay, so can we talk a little bit about Joe Biden and his slippage?

I think that Joe Biden,

if he doesn't, if he comes in fourth or fifth in New Hampshire,

what is he ranking now?

Fourth?

Yeah, he is fourth in most of the most recent polls.

Okay, so if he comes in fourth or fifth in New Hampshire and it shows him there hasn't been a single poll out in South Carolina since the Iowa caucus.

If those internal polls show him polling at third or fourth, I think he drops out.

I think there's a

good chance if New Hampshire comes through, particularly if Klobuchar passes him, if he finishes fifth in New Hampshire,

how does he go on?

Because these polls are going to change in a big way.

He's not raising any money.

There's no momentum.

He wasn't raising money when he was the leader.

Right.

There's no gomentum.

There's not.

Wow.

What?

There needs to be geometum.

I like the term too much.

Yeah.

I guess you're right.

There's no gomentum.

The most recent poll, which is from

before really any of this.

Yeah, this is all changing.

Iowa and New Hampshire will change all of that.

So Bernie Sanders,

it was a dead heat, statistical tie, really.

They're giving it to Pete Buttigiege.

Although he won, you know, it should be noted.

And I, you know, if it was

Sanders won both measures of the popular vote.

So he got more votes in the state

by both measures.

He just, the way they assigned delegates, it was sort of a situation, you know, the same type of thing that happens with the Electoral College in a weird way.

Although their process was much more screwed up than the Electoral College ever was.

Yeah, can I ask you a question?

Yes.

Pete Buttigiege, I mean, that's a pretty weird name.

It's almost foreign sounding.

I think even more foreign-sounding than even like Barack Obama.

Because we were, you know, Barack Hussein, Hussein Obama.

We knew that.

Those names were in our life all the time.

And we were told during the Obama administration that we fear strange, foreign-sounding names.

I think Buddha Judge is more strange and foreign than

Barack Hussein Obama.

You kind of know where, you know, where that, where that name's coming from.

Buddha Judge, no idea.

I don't even have a guess.

Where is it from?

I don't know, but someplace foreign.

Let's see if we get the shadow app.

Shadow Inks app.

Poles, Czechoslovakian, Buddha Judge.

That's kind of sound.

I have no idea.

Nor do I care.

And nor did I care for Barack Obama either.

No, you're supposed to.

I know.

We fear a foreign-sounding name.

I feared the guy who kept saying he wanted to massively expand our government control of our economy and fundamentally transform the United States of America and who today

is being called by the Washington Post a centrist candidate in comparison to what they're running now.

The headline of this story is,

let's see, where is it?

No,

no, Pete Buttigieg and Joe Biden are not centrists from the Washington Post is telling you this.

What the hell?

What do you think that's all about?

It's just, what it is, is it's true.

I don't know why that went to the two.

When's the last time the Washington Post said anything true?

And

they're comparing

their Budijej and

Biden to just the stuff Obama was proposing.

And it's so far to the left of that.

And again, I never considered Biden a centrist.

Remember, he was one of the most, him and Biden were the more, like one in two most liberal senators in the Senate when they heard.

And by the way, Obama is not a centrist either.

Can we just point out that yesterday in the Oscars,

what a surprise, Barack Obama got an Oscar.

His new series that they paid him a whole bunch of money for, I think $100 million at Netflix.

What a surprise.

He got an Oscar.

And the director of this documentary that he made, which was about the American factory,

got up and said, hey, we just, we made this because we have a fundamental belief that the world will be a better place when the workers of the world unite.

Incredible.

So, yeah, he's totally a centrist.

Just come out and blurt it out.

Yeah, I mean, that's Marks.

Do you remember when?

Yes.

Do you remember when they would get mad at us for calling them socialists?

Yes.

That's one of the things we're going to do on Studos America tonight with Bernie because it's like,

this is not long ago.

Just

very recently,

there were articles and all sorts of things saying what a smear it was to call a Democrat a socialist.

These Republicans have been trying this forever, and it's not true.

It's obviously not true.

It's just a smear.

And you know what?

There's hints of racism behind it all over the place.

Now they're like, oh, yeah, the socialists.

Yeah, he's our frontrunner.

It's crazy.

Just blurt it.

I mean, it's amazing.

It's crazy.

By the way, Buddha Judge, Maltese.

Maltese.

That's what I was thinking.

Maltese.

Maltese, where is that?

And I said, I googled Maltese.

All it is is the pictures of the pretty dogs.

The adorable dogs.

He's a little adorable puppy dog.

He is half dog, half person.

I think so.

That is weird.

I'm uncomfortable with that.

I'm very uncomfortable.

How much of the falcon is he?

They do run polls, and they say, I think it's 41% of African Americans are uncomfortable having a gay president.

But how many are uncomfortable having a half-man, half-dog president?

Right.

It's got to be higher than that.

It's got to be.

It's got to be in the 80s.

90s.

It's got to be slow.

You would think in the old days it would have been in 100%.

100%.

Maybe 99 with 1% like undecided.

But now, half-dog people can just run for president Higgledy-Piggledy, and nobody cares.

That America, that's the state of our union today.

And why didn't Trump put that in the speech?

The best of the Glenbeck program.

Hey, it's Glenn, and you're listening to the Glenn Beck program.

If you like what you're hearing on this show, make sure you check out Pat Gray Unleashed.

It's available wherever you download your favorite podcasts.

The host of White House Brief is John Miller.

And John was

watching the Oscars last night, and I think it was his first day with Twitter,

and

made a comment that John.

John.

John.

Hi, Glenn.

Hi.

How long have we known each other?

About 10 years, right?

Right.

What was your grade point average at Columbia University?

It wasn't a four.

It was close to three, seven around.

Right, right.

So you're not a dummy?

No.

What part of Twitter is too complicated for you?

It's not the matter.

It's not, it's okay.

If you're looking for insightful comments and, you know, and well-thought-out commentary, Twitter is not the place for you.

And when you're live tweeting an event like the Super Bowl or the Oscars

sometimes you know you you don't phrase things as as eloquently as you would like no I don't think this one is not eloquent

I think this is I mean

I'm gonna get I'm I'm going to defend you here in a second but this is one of the dumbest tweets I've ever seen because it's like you read it and you're like oh what read the read the non-eloquent tweet here

yeah okay do you do you have it I gotta pull it up here.

John, you probably have it memorized by now.

I don't.

But I do have it in my notification.

All right.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, here we go.

Here we go.

A man named Bong John Joon-ho was a Windsor Oscar for Best Original Screenplay over Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in 1917.

Exception speech was great honor.

Thank you.

Then he proceeds to give the rest of his speech in Korean.

These people are to the destruction of America.

Now, why read if you're reading?

I'm not standing by the tweet up until that last line, which was badly written.

First of of all, let me just say, let me just say,

it was interpreted, and I can see how it was interpreted that way, but the interpretation was that I meant Koreans will be the downfall of America.

Which would have worked in like 1952 on the media, but yeah, right.

I've never heard

a lot of anti-Korean monologues from John Miller in the past.

I don't agree.

So I did not mean that Koreans would be the downfall of America.

And, you know, you can't let the tweet sit in a vacuum, which I know is hard on Twitter.

But if you look, there's a theme to my tweets, which the whole night I was complaining about, you know, the Oscar so-awoke problem.

And I saw this foreign film, which, frankly, I thought was okay, not great.

Oh, John, your taste is all in your mouth.

That was brilliant.

As just another manifestation.

I saw that as another manifestation of that.

I mean, I mean, I was complaining about how there was not a single speech that had been given.

That was political.

You know, the thing started with Janelle Monet.

She's complaining about the lack of female directors and how she's so happy to be a black queer woman there.

Chris Rock and what's these?

Steve Martin.

Steve Martin.

Talking about the colour.

White, look, you racist.

White hair.

White hair.

By the way, John is a black man, and we all know, because we've been drilled on this, black men cannot be racist.

That's what I thought, but that's where you'd be wrong, because I'm the most racist man on Twitter now.

Yeah.

And then, you know, you've got Brad Pitt talking about Bolton.

They love Bolton now, which I think is hilarious.

They think he's the best and how he didn't get his 45 seconds to talk about um about the Trump situation.

And then you just and then you had Obama Netflix documentary producer, that person quoting the communist manifesto in the speech.

And then, you know, so I'm talking about all of that, and then you have this screenplay go to a a foreign film, or you know, it's now it's international film,

which I thought was undeserving.

You know, I saw Parasite, I I did fall asleep.

Oh, John, John.

And I was not impressed with with it as much as I was some of the other films.

So that was my thought process.

And then I, you know, I'm live tweeting the event.

And then you just, your hatred for Koreans just jumps out.

That's when that crew.

You're just like, we should have won the Korean War.

If you watch my show, that's one of the bigger themes.

Your anti-Korean stance is pretty well known.

John, when you look at the context of your tweets, it describes exactly what you're saying, right?

Like, there's, I don't think anybody could read read the tweets around this tweet and no one possibly believes

it was about Koreans.

That is the problem with Twitter.

I think John Legend and his wife, Chrissy Teigen,

when they quote tweet you,

the context kind of gets taken away.

And then Hollywood starts going after you like a bunch of people.

But

we always heard that racism really was about a power dynamic.

Chrissy Teigen and

John Legend, aren't they more powerful you?

They are.

You would think that they would recognize that.

And that's what we have been told, is that it's, you know, black people can't be racist because in order to be racist, you have to be the underdog.

Yes.

Excuse me.

Yeah, you can't be the underdog and be racist.

You have to be powerful.

You have to be the one who is oppressing and has been oppressing for hundreds and hundreds of years.

All of a sudden, that switches, though, when Hollywood gets involved.

Yeah, it's interesting.

You, as a young African-American gentleman building his own business after graduating from Columbia, you are apparently the racist.

And Chrissy Teigen and every other woke white person who has been bashing you on Twitter, those people are not.

And it is a fascinating dynamic, John, because, I mean, look,

this is an easy thing to do.

And I think this is the biggest problem with Twitter.

More than catching someone saying something bad, people try to catch people in the position where they can...

they can

like they can actually say

they believe it's bad, even if they know it's not, right?

Like if they can, you know, in a way, sort of like communicate to the rest of the world that I, I, I believe this is terrible, whether they believe it or not,

even if they know, if they read the other tweets, they'd probably be able to figure out that that is not what you were saying.

But if you can convince the rest of your audience in some sort of

a way that can explain and bring through the people to believe that that is what you meant, that's enough on Twitter.

Correct.

Correct.

And, you know, the fascinating thing is that in the replies, you have all of these people who are, you know, they come at you with the normal slurs, which they always do, you know, they use towards black conservatives, Uncle Tom, Kuhn, House Negro, et cetera.

And you have all these people who are supposed to be showing how tolerant they are and how much of a racist I am and how terrible of a person I am.

Here's what Chrissy Teigen tweeted at me, just to show how lovely of an individual she is compared to how grotesque of an individual I am.

She wrote, what a dumb, effing tool you are.

Your family is embarrassed because she apparently knows my family.

She says, at gatherings, they are literally like, how's John doing, that dumb little F-word tool?

And everybody goes, yeah, we don't care.

He's an effing, dumb S-word.

And then she said, come say hi if you're out tonight because apparently,

you know, these people in Hollywood think that everybody lives in L.A.

and goes out with them at night.

She was hoping to see me.

I didn't get a chance to see her.

Oh, that would have been nice.

I would have actually liked to see that conversation put up.

That would have been really blurting out two-syllable words at max.

I do understand, because that's a great point.

I mean, here she is just berating you as not only racist, but stupid.

Again, like you, you know, you.

And the powerful white woman.

Well, what is

she might be a mix of some sort, but I'm not sure.

She's not, but

she's fully black.

And so she, you know, so she has a power dynamic over me still.

Is that true?

I don't know what the intersectional Olympics say about such a matter.

We need to make brainstorming.

If she's any part white,

okay, there we go.

And her husband, too, legend was doing it as well, right?

Her boyfriend, whatever he is.

Yeah, yeah.

You were trending.

You're still trending.

You're still trending nationally.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I'd like to be trending for other things than,

but, you know, look, I'll tell you what.

Other than your hatred for all Koreans, Koreans, right?

Such a odd hatred to pick up in the year 2020.

John, John, John, John, John, what are you thinking?

Remember all the Korean restaurants we went to in the past?

I love Korean food.

You were always there going, I will not go in there with you.

Those people are destroying.

It's deep-seated.

Yeah, yeah, no, it is deep-seated hatred.

Deep-seated hatred.

Thank you for bringing that up.

So what have you learned about this, John?

Will you be live tweeting future awards shows?

Well, here's the hard thing about live tweeting is that, you know, you're trying to get out something very interesting to say about these things.

Everybody does it, first of all.

But you're trying to say something interesting while trying not to miss the next crazy thing that is said.

So you're kind of just like, ah, that looks good enough to me.

Hit send.

And usually it doesn't result in being a nationally trending story.

Usually it just results in like, you know, maybe a few people grumble about it.

So this kind of changes my perspective on it a bit.

You know, sometimes you do have to proofread, and sometimes you do have to just not hit send.

So I have to figure out how to

send?

I could cut your thumbs off.

How to maybe read the tweet over and just finesse it a bit.

You know, they say everybody needs an editor.

You know what's amazing is you get this rap for being this flamethrower and

now racist against all Koreans.

And you are...

You've always been one of the most soft-spoken, non-confrontational kind of guys.

And all of a sudden,

you're like, yeah, Chrissy, bring it on.

I don't know if I'd confront her in person.

That's the thing.

I think, you know, if I saw her in person, because, you know, they get vicious, especially in Hollywood, and, you know, they've got TMZ there and they feel empowered.

And so, you know, in person, it might not be,

you know, I might be respectful.

I might be nicer.

But Twitter's a different animal.

And that's probably, to be quite frank, the problem with Twitter is that it just lets everybody, you know, I doubt Chrissy Teigen would say any of that to my face.

So it just lets everybody say whatever they want

as aggressively as they want it.

And you know the problem is that's part of what makes Twitter fun, but it's also part of the part of Twitter that brings out the worst in us.

Can you imagine like in all serious reverse this for just a second?

If you had a

conservative celebrity right out there and just someone makes a tweet, let's just say like one of these

far-left black nationalist type of people they have on MSNBC all the time and tweeted something super, super crazy about that.

And the white conservative was critical of this crazy liberal opinion and used language like Chrissy Teigen used, which is despicable in every single way.

This story would be totally reversed, and the conservative would be the one in trouble today.

Oh, absolutely.

And is there any doubt in anyone's mind that that would be true?

No, none.

No, we have to play by different rules.

And I mean, yeah, we have to be aware of those rules.

But I mean, conservatives have always had to play by a different set of rules.

And

that is just a reality.

And to a certain extent, we've accepted those rules, haven't we?

We've said

we don't get the same luxuries as the left does in being understood.

We're not able to, you know.

have people come to our defense and say, well, no, you've got to look at the context.

You've got to look at everything.

And in a certain way, we've kind of just said, well, these are the rules we have to play by.

And in a way,

we've lost in that sense, where we've totally broken down and said, well, we're going to play by those rules because we still, to a certain extent, want to be a part of the club, and we still want to be accepted by

whether it's Hollywood or the political elite here in D.C.

We've said, you know, we want them, to a certain extent, to accept us and to not disparage us.

And we're going to accept some of their rules, not all of them maybe, but we're going to accept some of their rules so that they can accept us as legitimate and so that we can have credibility and so that they can see us as, you know, as not a wingnut and completely crazy.

So to a certain extent, I believe on that front we've lost because they don't give a crap.

They'll say whatever kind of crazy crap they want and they'll get away with it.

We've acknowledged we're not going to get away with it and so we have to we have to be a little more careful.

Well, I've learned a couple of things.

I didn't go to college and even I'm better at Twitter than you are.

Oh, you've never had a Twitter.

Glenn's never had a Twitter controversy, John.

Don't worry about it.

John, never.

Now I'm going through Glenn, your old police.

No, that's never.

Never.

No, there's never been a problem with me.

And the second is I've discovered that America suddenly cares that Chrissy Teigen can speak,

which who knew?

Who cares?

With a lot of F-bombs and

other words, but she can get them out.

Yeah, thanks so much.

Appreciate it.

I believe last time we heard from Chrissy Teigen, she invited you to lunch or something.

Remember, that was going to happen at one point.

What?

You know, remember She was in some another previous thing with you.

I don't remember exactly what the story was, but she was, she wrote, I think it was a Rolling Stone interview, and she wrote that, Who Do You Want to Go to Lunch with?

Oh, yeah, that's right.

That's right.

But that's when she just saw me as a piece of meat, and I was not going to be her plaything.

It was all about sex appeal.

And it was all, it was like, no, Chrissy, no,

no.

Yeah.

So I want to play some audio from Rudy Giuliani.

He was on Waters World on Fox on Saturday night, and here is what he said.

I have what I used to call when I was a U.S.

attorney a smoking gun.

This is a money laundering transaction.

It occurred just at the time that Shokun was fired.

And it's about $14.6 million.

And this is a notice from the Latvian government to the Ukrainian government that Hunter Biden is under investigation for corruption, corruption affair.

And then it lays out, I'll simplify it, $14.8 million goes from Ukraine to a company in Latvia, disguised as a loan.

Then it goes from Latvia to another company disguised as another loan in

Cyprus.

And then it goes to the U.S.

We lose track of it because when Shogun gets it, just about the day he's fired, there's no money in here for Devin Archer and Hunter Biden.

So, this is the document that I showed you last week.

Rudy Giuliani is releasing this now.

We released this last week.

This went to Senator Grassley's office,

what was it, on Friday morning.

And they are investigating Hunter Biden now for money laundering.

This is the prosecutor's office from the Republic of Latvia, Office for Prevention of Laundering of Proceeds Derived from Criminal Criminal Activity.

This was sent to the Ukrainian FIU.

That's the financial

intelligence unit.

The subject is Burisma Holding Limited.

Let me just read it to you.

It says, Dear colleagues, the Office for Prevention of Laundering of Proceeds Derived from Criminal Activity, further in text,

the Latvian FIU, is currently investigating suspicious activity of Burisma Holding Limited.

According to publicly available information, Burisma Holding Limited and its director, Hunter Biden, are involved in a corruption affair.

The following transactions made to Burisma Holding Limited

account as Pravat Bank are known to the Latvian FIU.

From July of 2012 until July of 2015.

Now, by the way, this memo was issued before Trump was in office.

14,665,982 U.S.

dollars and 336,015 euros were received from Wirelogic Technology as payments for a loan agreement.

Now, if you watch the show on Thursday night,

you realize that loans are the way this happens.

You loan somebody, you know,

a bunch of money.

They make payments on that loan.

It's all in dirty money.

Then they default on the rest of the loan.

The person who's been cleaning the money says, okay, well, we're going to cut our losses here.

And we'll send you back your million dollars, if you will.

But we're going to keep 10% of it because that's our fee for

such a hard time doing business with you.

So loans are the way money laundering happens.

So the first one is $14 million, just almost almost $15 million

from WireLogic Technology.

Then from July 2015 till December 2015, a total of $1,964,375 US dollars were received from Digitech organization as payments for other loan agreements.

The funds were partially transferred from Burisma Holding Limited account to Devin Archer, Hunter Biden, Alan Apter, and Alexander

Kwanaznuski, I think.

See attached for partial movement of funds.

The Latvian FIU turns to the Ukrainian FIU and kindly asks for the following information.

Are the mentioned companies known to the Ukrainian FIU?

If so, for what reason?

Please confirm if any of these persons are suspected of corruption or any other criminal offense and if criminal proceedings have been initiated.

Is there any information that the funds transferred to Baris Maholding Limited account have criminal origin?

No, they had an origin of us.

On the grounds of possible legalization of proceeds derived from criminal activity and corruption, please grant us permission to share the information included in the reply to this request with Latvian law enforcement entities for intelligence use purposes only.

That's the whole memo.

That's what it says.

Post this at glenbeck.com.

But this is what Rudy Giuliani says is the smoking gun.

Jason Buttrell is with us and Jason has been on this particular document since we got it in December.

Can I just put the timeline in context?

Yes.

So that is, what's it say?

It's February 2018.

This comes out February 18th, 2016.

Okay.

So this is sent at a time when the left and the media has told everyone, all of you, that there was no investigation going on at the time with Burisma.

So firing the prosecutor general, Biden getting him fired, had nothing at all to do with the investigation because it was dormant.

You know, we've heard that all over the place.

It was dormant.

Now, that memo was sent just a couple of weeks after we have shown you in the Ukrainian media that that is false, that Shokin, the prosecutor general, initiated, started seizing the property of Burisma, started seizing it.

And he said in an interview that his very next move was to interview, very specifically, Devin Archer and

Biden Jr.

Okay, so this memo comes out before he files that

court movement.

After.

After.

That's the Latvian government saying, oh, there's this case.

Look what we found.

Would this be interesting to you?

Right.

And then Biden comes just a couple of weeks later, does he not?

Yes, and gets him fired.

And gets him fired.

So the media is shown by this document as being total and complete liars, that there was nothing going on.

Everyone had looked into it.

There was nothing.

This was a bad prosecutor.

We told you on Thursday that's not true because of this document.

This document in place with the prosecutor general in Ukraine,

him, his paperwork, which we have also shown you, filing court proceedings to go after Burisma for money laundering and corruption.

Then this document, then two weeks later, Joe Biden comes in and gets that guy fired.

Right.

Now tell me that there was nothing going on.

Tell me that this was a dormant investigation.

It clearly wasn't.

This is a case that, which you pointed out on the special, that they had been on since 2014, money laundering from Burisma.

They knew money was getting put into Burisma, and it was just going poof.

And it was all coming through Privat Bank, which it says in that document as well.

And by the way, when we're talking money, your money, your money,

$1.8 billion

of your hard-earned tax money,

gone, just disappeared.

And now most of that money goes to shell companies, which we cannot track.

That's why this is so crucial, because most of the time it goes to a random shell company in Belize or Cyprus or whatever.

Now we have a firm destination that's not a shell company and it's a U.S.

citizen.

Laundered funds went to Hunter Biden as per this document.

So now, do you see why this is so important for us to look into him?

It has nothing to do with politics.

We now have the end point for some of this laundered money that might be our $1.8 missing billion dollars and it goes directly to Hunter Biden.

If it's not our part of our $1.8 billion,

this is the system they have used to launder our $1.8 billion.

It is not as important to make sure that Hunter Biden is arrested for this and maybe Joe Biden or anyone else involved.

It's to me more important that we find out what happened to that 1.8 because it explains a lot.

It explains

the entire Russian relationship right now.

I believe that the federal government could verify that there was a secret war that was authorized by Barack Obama against Russia.

He didn't want anything to do with Russia.

He wasn't for wars.

That's not his style.

A million miles away.

But Hillary Clinton and the State Department, they knew what that meant when the Maidan was happening and the revolution was coming.

If the United States didn't stand with Russia or didn't stand with Ukraine, Russia could have crippled them.

But if you have a president who doesn't want anything to do with that, what do you do?

Joe Kerry, John Kerry,

actually confirmed while on the campaign trail in Iowa for Joe Biden.

Do we still have that clip from last week?

Where he is confirming that, yeah, this was known from the top.

And it's interesting because what what he says was, we had to get that prosecutor out, not because he was corrupt, but because we had to win the war of Maidan, which is the name of their revolution.

We had to win the war.

Ukrainians had to win this war.

Listen.

I will tell you, because as Secretary of State, I was deeply involved in this.

All of us in the administration.

were trying to get rid of that prosecutor.

From Obama to the Secretary of State to the Vice President, all of us were working on that.

The ambassador,

and we knew if Ukraine was going to survive and win the revolution in the end, the Maidan,

they had to get rid of that prosecutor.

And they did.

Why?

Why would they have to get rid of that prosecutor?

Why would they have to protect something that they had the documentation on?

that was

in a major international money laundering scheme and that that Hunter Biden was specifically involved and named by a foreign country as a recipient of some of this foreign money laundered money.

It doesn't make any sense.

And even more so in the context of this prosecutor, hadn't even been on the job for a year yet.

Not even a year.

They try to make Shoken out to be this crazy bad guy that was...

He was there for, I think, 10 months at this point.

10 months?

Like, how many cases could he have even looked in at that point?

The other prosecutor that was, uh, that I think everyone conflates with Shokin, he was the guy that wouldn't look into a lot of cases.

And so they got him fired from the get-go.

That was right after the revolution, the Maidan, this one prosecutor.

Because the one thing the Ukrainian people want is a cleanup of the corruption.

They know the corruption is what's killing their country.

And wasn't Shokin initially Obama's like chosen replacement for the corruption?

Yeah, we've had two of good guys that became prosecutor generals.

The first one was Shoken, and he was like, get rid of that one guy because he won't investigate some of these things.

This was back in 2014.

So Shokin goes in.

Then he's literally on for a handful of months.

And oh my gosh, somehow he became this crazy guy we have to get rid of.

Because of

the

quoting John Kerry, we had to get rid of him if we were going to win the revolution.

What does that even mean?

What does that even mean?

Unless you're laundering money money and you are using the main recipient, Kolomoyski, who we've told you about,

is far worse, far worse than Tony Soprano.

This is a guy who executes his rivals with a chainsaw to the neck.

He beheads with chainsaws.

Why did we, at the same time, we're getting this from Latvia, saying, hey, they're laundering money.

Why at the same time is Joe Biden saying, you know what, give him a visa.

He's a good guy.

He can do international business wherever he wants.

His son is working for him.

$1.8 billion goes into his bank where it suddenly disappears.

Then he's made a governor of the state, one of the states in

Ukraine, that's right.

at the war lines, the battle lines of Russia, where all of it is heating up.

And that guy becomes known as the guy who finances the war against Russia.

This is really not that hard to figure this out more in just a second.
