Hey, it's Monday. We're a couple weeks away from the election. How you feeling, Stu?
Great, Glenn. How about yourself? Oh, my gosh. I'm so happy and not nervous about this election or the pulling numbers or anything.
Everything's going to be fine. Yeah, because there's more news on Hunter Biden. Actually, this isn't new news on Hunter Biden. This is proof that Joe Biden is the most corrupt vice president in the history of America.
and we have some new evidence and who's censoring it.
Everybody.
Everybody is censoring it.
It's a hard slog to the finish line and the president has to do everything right in the next two weeks to be able to make it.
We show you the numbers and we look at the electoral college and it's going to be, it's going to be a miracle if he wins.
fortunately for me, I believe in miracles.
Today's podcast.
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Senator Ted Cruz.
Ted, welcome to the program.
Glenn, always great to be with you.
Okay.
You know, we booked you yesterday to talk about the subpoena that was going out
and you were going to question Jack Dorsey and others on Friday.
However, the day.
GOP has started to waver on the issue. Why is the subpoena not going out for election interference
and and and muting people who are, are delivering news about developments on Joe Biden?
Well, I believe one way or another, it's going to go out and Twitter and Facebook are both going to
testify. Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg are both going to testify. They're going to testify in person.
they're going to testify before election day.
That's what I think should happen.
That's what I am fighting vociferously to make happen.
Right now, the companies are negotiating with the chairman's office to discuss terms to come voluntarily.
I don't really give a damn whether they come voluntarily or under subpoena.
They need to testify in person and answer questions for the American people about why they are trying to steal this election,
to suppress the free speech and to censor, to censor the press.
Why, Ted, is it important for somebody to say, I came voluntarily not under subpoena?
I have no idea because their lawyers are arguing for it.
Right.
It makes no difference.
So I don't care if it's pursuant to a subpoena or they just, they agree to come.
Right.
They are apparently trying to negotiate the terms what I am pressing for.
And listen, I hope Republicans stand firm.
I mean, it's a matter of the Republicans on the committee not going wobbly, as Margaret Thatcher famously said, some decades ago.
And I hope that we do stand firm.
And that's, I'm doing everything humanly possible to urge my colleagues to do exactly that.
I don't know what their problem is, but I think the American people on the right are really, really tired of the
saying one thing and doing another on this. I appreciate you standing firmly for the First Amendment.
You said yesterday that Jack Dorsey is behaving like Joe Biden's press secretary.
Yeah. Well, here's how the whole thing came to pass. So it was last week, as you know,
the New York Post had two consecutive blockbuster stories. The first story based on emails
that allegedly came from Hunter Biden's computer show that Joe Biden,
is not telling the truth and has been, they allege meetings between Joe Biden and
Ukrainian oligarchs that Biden has repeatedly denied.
The second blockbuster story was based on additional emails that showed communist China
offering Joe Biden directly millions of dollars.
And it's important to underscore, look, this is not about Hunter Biden.
By all appearances, Hunter Biden has led a troubled life, has made some unfortunate
decisions. This is about Joe Biden, the man who would be president, who would be the commander
in chief, and whether he directly is involved in corruption with foreign countries. In any
ordinary universe, this is a major, major story. But then Big Tech stepped in, and they did something
they've never done before. We know that Big Tech has been censoring individual conservatives
trying to suppress conservative speech. But the step they took here is they blocked
If any individual user tried to share either of the New York Post stories, you were blocked.
You got a warning sign that said, no, you can't block this, because this story is, quote, potentially harmful.
Well, perhaps politically to Biden, but sharing a news story from a major media outlet is as part of democracy, part of free speech.
And not only that, they blocked the New York Post itself.
Right now today, the New York Post.
Post is not being allowed to post its own damn stories on corruption. And this is ridiculous.
It's a threshold that's never been crossed before of Silicon Valley oligarchs declaring the
authority to determine what the press is allowed to report and who's allowed to see it.
Well, the mainstream media is right in there with them. They're calling anything, really anything,
thing now, a conspiracy theory.
We're calling all of these documents, and we don't have them only just now from the computer,
but one of Hunter Biden's partner has released 28,000 emails to Peter Switzer, and we already now know
that many of those documents on the computer are documents that he, as a partner, had with Hunter
Biden showing the relationships here. But they're calling it a conspiracy theory. If you bring up,
if you bring up election interference, it's a conspiracy theory. You talk about that there is
possible voter fraud. It's conspiracy theories. Ted, they are, they are marking half of the
population as crazy. Well, and they are gaslighting us. They are deliberately suppressing. The New York Post
has the fourth highest circulation of any newspaper in America.
It's over 200 years old.
The New York Post was founded by Alexander Hamilton.
And Jack Dorsey is saying he can decide,
by the way, if they can censor the New York Post,
they can also censor the New York Times.
A Politico reporter tweeted about the New York Post story,
they blocked the Politico reporters
until the reporter got on his knees and groveled
and apologized to the big tech masters
for daring to address a topic that is overlords don't want wish him to address.
And by the way, the Democratic talking point,
so the Dem senators, by and large, are just ignoring this, like the media is.
To the extent they've said anything, their argument is, well, this is all Russian disinformation.
Well, okay, okay, if that's your argument, fine.
Prove it.
Show some evidence.
If these emails are false, you know what?
I'd like to know that.
If they're false, let's see some evidence of that.
That's actually called journalism.
But you know who hasn't argued that?
Joe Biden.
Joe Biden has not denied this is Hunter Biden's computer.
He has not denied the emails are real.
He has not denied that he met personally with the Ukrainian oligarch
after lying to the American people and saying that he didn't.
He has not denied that Communist China offered him personally millions of dollars.
And the entire press is refusing to do their job.
I mean, Joe Biden did an ABC town hall that was practically a kumbaya love in where they were in robes and had daisies in their ears.
I mean, it was ridiculous.
And Stephanopoulos, okay, one of these supposedly undecided voters was a former White House speechwriter for Barack Obama.
You got a problem with that?
He was seriously considering Donald Trump.
Come on.
Jeez.
It's nuts.
And Glenn, you've worked at these media organizations.
How do they do this?
How does the media...
Oh, this is beyond...
This is beyond anything that I have ever witnessed.
I mean, Ted, I don't know if you saw the Robert Reich suggestion about truth and reconciliation.
Google that.
This is not an idea off the top of his head.
This is being attempted in Canada, in Great Britain, and here.
and it has big backing from the left.
They're serious.
They feel that America lost its mind,
and they will ensure this never happens again.
And if that means packing the court, adding states,
and getting rid of the filibuster, they'll do it.
They'll do it.
They plan to do all of that,
and they plan to go after our fundamental rights.
You know, one of the chapters in my new book,
one vote away, addresses free speech,
and it goes through both the Supreme Court cases,
and particular citizens united,
where our right to express political speech hangs by one vote.
But it also discusses the attempt by Senate Democrats
to amend the Constitution and to pass a constitutional amendment
eliminating our free speech rights.
And I led the battle against that in the Senate.
I'm the chairman of the Constitution Subcommittee
and debated repeatedly Democrats,
and every single Democrat,
100% of Senate Democrats voted to amend the Constitution to remove our free speech rights
and to give government the power to regulate political speech.
When did this happen? When did this happen?
This happened in 2014.
I don't remember that.
The media refused to cover it.
And the way it happened, so they frame it as this is, quote, repealing Citizens United,
which the Democrats have all decided is terrible.
Now, Citizens United, the Supreme Court held that we have a right to free speech
and to criticize politicians.
As you know, Glenn, the facts of what happened in Citizens United is a small nonprofit in D.C.
called Citizens United made a movie critical of Hillary Clinton.
And the Obama administration took the position that they could punish.
They could find the movie maker for daring to make a movie critical of Hillary.
Hillary Clinton. Case went to the U.S. Supreme Court. I'll tell you the most chilling moment at the argument was Justice Sam Alito asked the Obama Justice Department. Under your theory of the case is that your view that the federal government could ban books? The Obama Justice Department answers, yes. Yes, the government can ban books if they criticize politicians. We can ban them. Thankfully, the court rejected that radical view by
a vote of five to four. We are one vote away from the government, from five justices saying the
government has the power to ban movies and ban books. All right. Are we going to get a vote before
the election for Amy Coney Barrett? Yes. She will be confirmed. Judiciary Committee will
vote on Thursday. She'll be voted out on Thursday. And then she will likely be confirmed on the
Senate floor. I would say Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, but early next week is when she'll be
confirmed.
don't see anybody getting weak knees.
I don't.
I actually, I think she did a fabulous job.
She was calm, cool, collected.
You could see the first day the Democrats try to throw a couple of shots at her,
and she was so good at dealing with them, and it was going so badly for the Democrats
that by day two, they ran away.
I mean, by the time my question it came, I pointed out, there were only two Democrats
left in the hearing room.
All the rest of them had run for the hills, because they really,
realized us going after this judge and the American people hearing her defend the Constitution
and Bill of Rights is really, really bad for us. Let's get this over with quickly.
Ted, thank you. Thank you so much. I am going to be doing something here in about two hours
on the fact checkers of Facebook and Twitter and this cesspool. We found some interesting things
that really kind of came out of these Biden documents.
It was a connection to a couple things that it was a missing piece that we put together.
And you might want to look at those.
So when you're talking to Facebook, you have a little additional information on how crooked this thing is.
I'll send it to you today.
I look forward to seeing it.
And thank you for shining a light on it.
Thank you.
And thank you for being fearless.
because you speak the truth even when the whole world is sales against you.
Ted, I say the same thing back to you because you are fighting this and you are fighting this.
I mean, we're in your district and we are, I think, the only big media outlet in your district.
And I know you're fighting it not just for us, but for every other person, even if we disagree with them,
to make sure we have freedom of press and freedom of, of, of, uh, of, of, uh, of, of, uh, of, uh,
speech, and you are up against the big dogs. Thank you very much.
Well, we're doing it together. Let me urge your listeners. The book is one vote away. You can get it
on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, wherever books are sold. It was the number one bestseller in the country
on Amazon, and if you want to go behind the scenes, really understand what's going on at the Supreme
Court and how your rights to free speech, religious liberty, the Second Amendment, what's going
on from the inside. The book, I think, is really helpful in it. And it's a fun, easy
read. It's not designed. You don't have to be a lawyer to enjoy it. It really explains what
what's happening and why it matters for you and your freedoms. It's called one vote away. I urge you
to get it because that is the position we are in right now. Ted Cruz, thank you so much.
If you are ready for some really great news, keep listening. Built Bar is back and it is unbelievable.
If you've been listening to my show this year, I love Built Barz. It's an all-American story.
This is a client I asked to be on the show because I didn't listen to my wife again. And she's
been telling me about it, but it has protein bar on it. And those always tastes like a doormat.
This is unbelievable. The mint brownie flavor. Oh, yes, baby. It is life changing. The new bars taste
better than ever. In addition to the 12 original flavors, Billed Barr just added cookies and
cream, carrot cake, caramel brownie, lemon almond cheesecake, apple almond crisp. I mean, it's just,
it's great. Built Bar, delicious, nutritious, high protein, low calorie, high fiber, low carbs.
100% real chocolate and 100% really good.

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Now I want to go to Stu, who's got the Senate 2020 board out.
And we're looking now at solid votes.
A total of Democrats, 47, Republicans 46.
and a toss-up of seven, right?
Those are with leaners and likely voters.
Okay, so explain that.
Solid, you have 40 for the Democrats, 38 for Republicans.
That means seats that aren't even up for election, plus obvious blowout races, right?
Okay.
You know, Tom Cotton doesn't even running against a Democrat.
And that brings you to 40.
So 40 for the Democrats, 38 for Republicans.
Then you have likely.
So these are, like, for example, Corey Booker in New Jersey is not going to lose.
The polls aren't complete blowouts.
kind of keep it in the likely category. That gives you New Hampshire, Virginia, Minnesota for the
Democrats that gets them to 44. On the Republican side for likely cocaine Mitch, as you just
mentioned, he's likely a win again, Tennessee, Mississippi, Kansas, and Alabama. Now, Alabama's
interesting in that that's a Democratic seat right now. So that's a pick-up for Republicans.
That's Doug Jones, who is likely going to lose in a relatively big way come election.
election day. So that gets you five more for Republicans. That gets it to 44 to 43. Each side has three
leaner seats. These are closer seats, but enough to say there's a favorite. New Mexico for the Democrats,
Colorado, that's against Cory Gardner, who of course originally wanted to ban birth control
did not come through with that promised Colorado voters very upset. He didn't do that, by the way.
Arizona as well. Arizona's McSally going up against Kelly. Kelly is a pretty good candidate, raised lots of money.
in Arizona, that likes to be, both of those are pickups for the Democrats.
That gets them, by the way, to 47 seats if we count the leaners.
The leaners for the Republican side.
You have Alaska.
You have one of the two Georgia races and Texas.
I do expect Cornyn to win in Texas.
Georgia has that runoff system.
So there's two Georgia races.
Both for the Senate.
Both for the Senate.
We have the Georgia two in the lean Republican category.
The reason for that is there's four candidates in there, basically, that are going to be in double digits.
It's one of those things where you have...
You get 50%.
You have to get 50% to not have a runoff.
So there's no chance that someone's going to get 50% in Georgia in that particular race.
That means that moves to a runoff election on January 5th.
Could it be a runoff between two Democrats?
It could in theory, but it's not going to happen.
It could theory.
I will say there is a possibility that it's two Republicans.
that runoff against each other.
It's definitely possible.
I wouldn't say it's the most likely outcome, though.
Okay.
Now, the interesting thing about Georgia's
is January 5th would be the runoff.
So if no one gets to 50%,
that election moves to January 5th,
it will be the top two.
And that will really decide
what's happening in the country.
That's a huge one.
The country is on fire either way.
I mean, there's scenarios here
that are really scary.
But the reason why I have Georgia,
too, in the lean Republican,
is that election is going to happen
in an environment where Trump is
not on the ballot. It's not a huge national election. You hope. Well, who knows what's going on at
that point. But again, it won't be a big presidential election. Turnout will be down. I expect Georgia
to get to get that to the Republican side. So that leaves us with 47 for Democrats, 46 for Republicans.
That's how close this is. Seven races in the toss-up category. Let me give them to you. Georgia
Hang out just a second. Let me just let me just let you know if you're listening. Your mood is not going to
improve here.
I think this is better news, I think, than the presidential race.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just everything is razor's edge.
It just depends if it's a clean race, you know, if it's not a setup, if we're not
finding ballots, you know, for weeks after, I just found this in the trunk of my car.
And if people show up and we're not voting quite honestly, I think the choices between
the Constitution and evil.
Well, you can look at this two ways, right?
You can say, well, this is too close.
I'm depressed, or it's too close.
Gosh, I better get out there to do something.
No, no, no, you got to get out.
The second one's the better one.
Yeah, no, don't get depressed.
Right.
Get moving.
So the other Georgia race we have in the toss-up race,
the reason for that being that this is one,
it's close in the polls.
Sunny Purdue is there.
And someone could get to 50% here.
Again, it's not necessarily hugely likely.
I wouldn't be surprised at all to see both of those races
go to that January 5th runoff.
Then you have,
Michigan. John James is a great candidate. We've had him on before. He's behind, but it's relatively
close. Mains is the Susan Collins election, where she is behind. I think she loses.
Because the momentum for the, the momentum from the left, she's one of those national candidates
that they all hated. Yeah, well, she's one of those candidates that there's not a ton of passion
behind her on the right. Her base doesn't like absolutely adore her, but she's always been able to
bring over a lot of moderates.
Those moderates and a lot of the, especially the Democrats votes,
she would normally get are pissed off at her because of her Kavanaugh vote.
She voted for Kavanaugh.
So there's been tons of money that has flown.
It would be interesting to see if that Kavanaugh thing doesn't hold any sway still.
You know, at the time when she was before we actually heard all the hearings,
they were just livid with her.
After you heard things and it's settled down, I think people, most people are like,
Yeah, that was a sham.
That was a sham.
I think, you know, the Supreme Court coming up again is bringing attention back to that for those people who were upset.
And the other thing is, when that happened, money flowed.
So her opponent has tons of cash.
Montana is an interesting race in that it's Steve Danes, who is the Republican.
Well, there's a possibility that we are losing cowboys in Montana.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Well, they were able to get the governor, Steve Bullock, to run as his opposition.
So you're taking the Democratic governor, and he's running as for a Democratic Senate candidate,
against the incumbent Republican Senate candidate.
I mean, I think the Republicans going to win there, but it's close.
It's really close.
And Bullock has a lot of name recognition as obviously the governor.
Iowa is an interesting one.
Joni Ernst, who I think was kind of seen as a Republican rising star for a while.
Iowa was won pretty easily by Donald Trump, seemed to be trending red.
It's bounced back into a purple category for the presidential race.
as well as for the Senate race, which is very close.
She seems to be a tad behind right now.
I kind of feel like in the end she's going to pull this off.
A lot of this depends if Donald Trump has coattails,
and I think he will.
This time around, I think he will have coattails.
That if you're going to vote for Donald Trump,
you know how important it is to get the Senate and the House as well,
but I'm not going to win the House.
There's a lot less of the vote splitting going on now.
People are really tribal.
They're in their.
They're kind of in their parties.
If you like Trump, you're voting through the Republican.
It's a lot more aligned than it used to be.
Yeah, but it's also, if I hate Lindsey Graham,
I'm probably still going to vote for Lindsey Graham.
I can't believe that if I lived in South Carolina,
I'd be voting for Lindsey Graham.
That guy has been a waste of space for a long time.
He's brought it around the last couple.
The Kavanaugh thing he sort of was the star of the Kavanaugh.
He did bring it around, but I'm with you.
I've never been a big Lindsey Graham guy.
I would be campaigning for him in South Carolina if I lived in South.
I would be setting up yard signs for him.
Again, if everything goes right, there aren't things to worry about.
But if let's say the presidential race goes wrong and Joe Biden somehow becomes president.
This Senate is vital and it's vital that you get to 51 votes.
South Carolina is on the board as well as a toss-up, though I do expect Lindsey Graham to win there.
North Carolina is a bizarre race with Tom Tillis, who's a guy, I don't know, like he's one of those guys that
even when you're doing Republican politics for a living, you kind of never really talked about him.
He's like a Republican senator, but hasn't made that much of an impact. I don't think nationally.
Where his opponent is Cal Cunningham, this sort of recruit of like, you know, the Democrats are doing this.
They're going after former military guys, guys that look kind of moderate.
He's raised lots of money. Also just had a little bit of a sexting scandal.
And his popularity went up.
Went up slightly.
What the hell is wrong?
us. So if you look at the race
the way we have it structured right now, 47 to
46 Democrats over Republicans.
Democrats, you know, depending on the presidential
race, Republicans would need to
win four or five votes
of the seven in the middle to
win the control of the Senate.
Okay, let's say South Carolina.
That's one, I think. I think Iowa
could be two. I think Montana could be three.
North Georgia could be four. So that could get you
to four and get you to 50 pretty easily.
After that, you start getting a little nervous.
Susan Collins is behind.
And even if she wins,
if she's your 51st vote,
it's a little scary.
Michigan, I really would like James to win,
but I don't know that he's going to.
North Carolina,
it does not look great at the moment for Tillis,
even after the sexting scandal.
So you're at a point where you're looking at 50 votes,
I think, is a real possibility.
However, let me give you this scenario,
Glenn, you're going to like this because you love chaos.
Hang on just to say, oh, I do.
50 votes, that means the vice president,
whoever it is, is the tie-breaking vote.
Right.
So if we only win 50 seats in the Senate and we lose the White House, it's over.
They have all three houses.
And they can get rid of the filibuster and pass anything that they want.
And they're very much signaling they will.
So let me give you this scenario.
So Democrats have 47.
They pick up a couple of these seven.
They get to 49.
Republicans have 46.
They pick up three of the seven.
that gets you to 49.
So let's say we're now at 49-49 with both Georgia seats on a January 5th runoff.
It's not impossible at all.
In fact, you could look at it and say it's likely.
That will become, especially if we're talking about control of the,
you're talking about control of the Senate there because...
You're talking about the life or death of the republic.
Yeah.
I mean, especially if Trump were to...
lose. Don't don't. Then you have a 49-49 scenario with a January 5th election in Georgia for two
Senate seats possible. I have to tell you, I'm against, I just want to say this outlaw. I'm against
Donald Trump and all of the Republicans because I don't, I never learn every time I'm for a presidential
candidate. They lose. That's true. Every time I'm for a candidate in the Senate, they lose. I'm against
all of these people. Donald Trump is dead to me.
me. I think I've jinxed it. I think I've jinxed it. I blame you for most of America's problems. Let's
give you another one. Thank you very much. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program and we really
want to thank you for listening. From Facebook to the Atlantic Council and back. Yesterday, I told
you about a woman, Anna McCandju, she is currently in charge of Facebook's election integrity
program. So she's the one who's raising the alarm. You got to shut all this conspiracy theories down.
Well, we know that she used to work for the Obama administration. In fact, she was the
special policy advisor for Europe and Eurasia to Vice President Joe Biden. So she was side by side
with Joe Biden with the Ukraine deals. She was there. Got it? She also, and I said this yesterday,
and I couldn't remember what.
She was a non-resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council.
It's a bipartisan think tank in Washington, D.C.
Well, the Atlantic Council rung a bell with me,
and after I got the show, I remembered it was because it was with Alexandria Chalupa.
Chalupa was the woman who was the go-to get the dirt on Donald Trump
and tie it into the Russians.
It was really her idea, et cetera, et cetera.
Also, her sister founded Digital Maiden.
Now, this is a digital maiden organizes tweet storms to flood Twitter with anti-presidential messages.
That's what they did in Ukraine.
I'm wondering if Digital Maiden or the Chalupa family are involved at all with something like Digital Maiden or Maidan here in the United States.
she did do tweet storms in the 2016 election, and they were pretty vile.
Also, her other sister is involved.
She's the editor of the Atlantic Council, that bipartisan think tank, where she was lead contributor
for biweekly reports called Ukraine Alert.
Now, she's a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, and this is where I put it up on the
board, and we almost took it down because I'm like, there's not really a, a, uh, a
connection that it goes anywhere, but I felt like we really needed to keep it up on the chalkboard.
Something wasn't right. Well, the name of the guy that she's in the same think tank with is
Dimitri Alpovich. He's the co-founder of and CTO of CrowdStrike, the security firm that
the DNC hired to investigate the 2016 hacks. Okay. So, hmm, so he's on the Atlantic Council,
Chalupas on the Atlantic Council.
They've got a tweet storm thing going on.
They've got somebody trying to tie it all together and coordinate the embassies.
And the person who is by Joe Biden's side is now at Facebook making sure that there's integrity on our elections.
One thing you should know, Atlantic Council think tank receives considerable funding.
through a Ukrainian oligarch named Victor Pinchuk.
He coincidentally also happens to be the most prolific donor to the Clinton Foundation until she no longer had power.
And 2013, the Atlantic Council awarded Hillary Clinton its Distinguished International Leadership Award.
But let me go back to Irene Chalupa.
She now works for an organization called StopFake.org, which started out as a site to verify and refute disinformation and propaganda about events in
Ukraine. Now they fact check, debunk, edit, translate research, and disseminate information in 11
languages. You can't make this stuff up. Guess which organization funds stopfake.org.
The International Renaissance Foundation. Hmm, wait a minute. International Renaissance
Foundation. Well, that's the same NGO that was being investigated by the Ukrainian
prosecutor general that Joe Biden had fired. To refresh your memory,
Take a wild guess who heads the International Renaissance Foundation.
Come on.
Come on.
Say it.
Say it, Stu.
Stay it.
Say it.
Say it's name.
George Soros.
In February this year, stopfake.org joined the international fact-checking network.
Now, if the IFCN rings a bell, it's because I mentioned it on TV episode earlier, or I think it was late last month, Facebook, for example, is very fond of saying they use fact checkers that are certified by the IFCCCHA.
Well, the IFCN, along with Politifact, are both projects of the Pointer Institute.
One of the Pointer's major funders is George Soros and his Open Society.
PolitiFax's two largest financial supporter are EW Scripts Company and Facebook.
The IFCN receives major funding also from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Google, Facebook.
And again, you can't make this up.
the U.S. State Department.
Now, why is the U.S. State Department in with Facebook, Bill and Melinda Gates, Google, and fact check?
This is such an incestuous puzzle, and when you put all the pieces together, you realize there is no way, no way they can let any of these Hunter Biden's emails see the light.
of day. That's why you can't trust the fact-checking network. You can't trust Google. You can't
trust Facebook or Twitter. They're all in this stew. Why won't anybody talk about that?
Let me go to Jason Buttrill, who is our chief researcher and headwriter on the Glenn Beck program.
Welcome, Jason. How are you? Good, Glenn. Thanks. Give me any updates that you have on the Hunter
Biden and Joe Biden connections to corruption.
I think one of the biggest updates right now is this incredible lack of reporting.
Either they're not reporting on it with the media, just radio silence, not speaking at
all.
Or they're just taking their cues directly, not from the source, which would be the laptop,
but they're taking their cues from Adam Schiff.
Now, they're running with this whole Russia, you know, it's all Russia stuff.
Still.
Still.
Still, from Politico, I think it was either today or yesterday, they got about 50 former intelligence officials to say, hey, we think this is Russian propaganda.
It's got all the earmarks.
Now, they go down later in the article and in the letter and say, oh, this is not based off of anything we've seen, but just sounds like it.
But they're just running with that.
Rachel Maddow had another intelligence official on to say that he alleged that Rudy Giuliani was fishing with the Russian.
Russians for this information. Come on. Like, follow us through here for just a second. So Hunter Biden
goes into this repair shop. He signs a receipt. His lawyers try to get this information back.
But it's the Russians? It's the Russians that are involved here. It makes absolutely no sense.
It's just utterly agonagy. What's amazing is no one's reporting on Hunter Biden's lawyers.
Can you elaborate on that a little bit? Well, so this is, so this is coming from
Rudy Giuliani and apparently he has
he has proof that this did happen
in email form. By the way, Rudy Giuliani's
my guest for an hour
tomorrow night on television
at 9 o'clock. He
has the hard drive.
He has all the documents and I'm going to be
asking him all of the questions
and I'm going to be holding his feet to the
fire as well. But
you decide for yourself
Rudy Giuliani for the
Fulawa tomorrow
night at 9 p.m. on my Wednesday
night special only on Blaze TV. All right. But he, so he claims that they did, they did contact and
reach out and try to get this, uh, this laptop back. That's a key word back.
Back. Meaning that their, Hunter is not denying the campaign, all of team Biden is not denying
that, uh, this is legitimate. But they won't even answer it. They were caught out on Fox News,
just a couple of days ago, uh, talking to one of the Biden surrogates. And she could, she actually said it
was a good point. She actually said it was a good point that no one had denied that
this is legitimate. Well, I think this is, this, this goes to why Facebook and Twitter are,
and all of the media saying that they're banning all of this, because they're saying that this
was hacked information. They're not saying this is fake information. They're saying this is hacked
information on why they are banning all talk about it is because it was hacked information.
Well, that's different than what the, you know, Adam shifts of the world are now saying,
which is, no, no, no, this is just.
bogus information. This is coming from a Russian op.
Absolutely ludicrous. It wasn't hacked. I mean, how is this any different from, you know,
information that was received from Trump's tax returns? How is this any different than the mainstream
media's landmark stories like regarding the Pentagon Papers? This is exactly the same way
that the information was gathered. Actually, the Pentagon Papers was stolen by a contractor.
This was left and just abandoned information. So they would be salivating over this if it
benefited them. You know, Glenn, the biggest question I get about this is, well, why should I care?
Like, why should I care if Hunter Biden was doing this? We've been screaming from the mountaintops.
People like us, people like the guest you just had Peter Schweizer saying, look, it's not okay
for Hunter Biden to be tagging along with his dad while he's making foreign policy decisions
and then benefiting at the same time. Now, the real question is, how did the family? This is
what everyone should really look for as more things come out. But how did the family, how did the family
benefit, were they enriched, were already seeing evidence come out. There was a document that came
out in the laptop from a group called a company that Hunter helped set up called something West.
I can't remember Hudson West, that was the name of it. And there was a flow chart in there that
showed how there was two principals that owned this company and 50% of the profits between the
two of them would go into this pot. Well, we also have another release from, I think, this came from
the Senate where this company was set up and credit cards were taking out lines of credit were taking
out by his uncle James and his his aunt that would be Joe Biden's brother and Joe Biden's sister-in-law
they made over a hundred thousand dollars worth of purchases off of this company now not surprisingly
not too long after Hudson West was dissolved we call that a shell company that's what we call
that I want to know how much information was going to come out involving
wire transfers, money laundering that goes into some of these shell companies.
That's how corrupt politicians hide the fact that they enrich themselves while they're in office.
I tell you what, go ahead.
Go ahead.
I guarantee you every single politician, and this is probably a good case for any term limits,
but I guarantee you every politician that's involved in this game is pissed.
They are so pissed at the Bidens for being so blatant because I guarantee you tons of them do this all the time.
It's got to stop, and maybe this is the catalyst to get it to happen.
And it's not in this case.
It is not just that money was being made.
They're operating with the Chinese Communist Party.
And they are on the take from the Chinese Communist Party.
And now you can say whatever you want about the laptop.
But now Peter Swizer has 26,000 emails from the actual Gmail server from a guy who was the partner.
of Hunter Biden.
And it shows the money funnels.
It shows the things that we all suspected but didn't have proof of.
And it shows that Joe Biden was enriching himself by having a shell company just hold that money for him.
It is, it's astounding what has been found and how the media is ignoring all of it.
Jason, thank you for staying on top of this story.
so we can all stay on top of it.
I appreciate it.
Keep your eyes and ears open.
We'll talk to you probably again tomorrow.
Thank you.
