The UNDENIABLE evidence for a Joe BIden impeachment

The mainstream media fact checkers claim there is ‘no credible evidence’ that Joe BIden played a role in his family’s business activities overseas, but that claim is LUDICROUS, Peter Schweizer tells Glenn. In fact, Schweizer — a Biden family expert and author of ‘Red Handed’ — tells Glenn there is a CLEAR impeachment case against the president because of his involvement. In this clip, Schweizer details to Glenn the undeniable evidence against Joe. Plus, he predicts what could happen to the Republican Party if they take control of Congress next year and STILL fail to hold those involved in the Biden family scandals responsible…

GLENN: Peter Schweizer is joining us now. He is with the government accountability institute. He's the president. Also, the author of red-handed, and the co-host of the drilldown.

Peter, how are you?

PETER: I'm great, Glenn. Always terrific to be with you. Thanks for having me.

GLENN: You bet. So I don't even know where to begin on this. Can we start with the Tony Bobulinski thing?

PETER: Sure. Absolutely.

GLENN: PolitiFact. We investigated the claims of Tony Bobulinski, a former business partner of Hunter Biden on Fox News this week. There is no credible evidence that Joe Biden played a role in his family foreign business activities.
(laughter)

PETER: Yeah. It's -- it's pretty remarkable. PolitiFact is saying that. When Hunter Biden has acknowledged that his dad played a role. Joe Biden has acknowledged that he played a role. James Biden, who is Joe Biden's brother, acknowledges that his brother played a role. And, of course, you have in black and white, the communications that Tony Bobulinski, released and turned over to the FBI, that shows Joe Biden's playing a role. So this is another example of these fact-checking organizations, digging their own graves.

They have zero credibility. And they're going to die on this hill. Which let them do it. It just means that people take them less seriously, than they do already.

GLENN: So help me out. Give me some -- of give me some of the hard evidence, that shows that Joe was absolutely involved.

PETER: Well, first of all, you have the communications, and the communications specifically say, that Joe Biden was involved. And so what does that mean?

Well, they would make -- they would have conversations, and Hunter would refer to the big guy.

And Tony Bobulinski has released these messages, would contact the other business partners. Would bring them into deal with the Bidens. And in the communications, he would say, who is the big guy?

And they would say, who is the big guy? And they would say, that's Joe Biden. They're very sensitive about it. So it was acknowledged that way.

You have the communications about the so-called SPC deal. This is the Chinese energy company, with Chairman Yi that Tony was brought into.

You have the 10 percent for the big guy. Well, the big guy is the word that was used in all the other communications, for talking about Joe Biden.

So that's all explicit in Tony Bobulinski's communications. You have communications from Hunter Biden on the laptop, that have been released. There's ones where they wanted to do business deals overseas.

And Hunter Biden texted his business partners and said, I run by my dad. And my dad is going to help.

To me, it's patently ludicrous, to even be arguing and discussing about this anymore. You can have a conversational about how deeply he was involved, and I would argue, it's pretty deep.

You could have a conversation, that says, well, I don't think he was really knowing everything that's going on.

But the notion that Joe Biden was ignorant of all of this. That he didn't know anything about it. That he didn't benefit financially.

That's a big settlement. It's not settled by Peter Schweizer or Tony Bobulinski.

It's settled by the actual communications, where there's Hunter's laptop, or the communications, that Tony Bobulinski had with Hunter and with his business partners.

GLENN: Do you think there's enough evidence that it is a clear, almost open-and-shut case, for impeachment?

PETER: I do, yes. And I do think, on a couple of levels.

First of all, let's remember, this is about corruption. But it's about something, I would argue, that is even more troubling and damaging than that.

And this is, I hope, what will be the point number one, if the Republicans take the house and investigate the subpoena Hunter Biden. Point number one needs to be not just that they got this some $31 million from these Chinese entities. But who were the actual businessmen that sent the money.

Chairman Yi of CEFC has direct ties to Chinese intelligence. Again, it's not debatable. You looked at his bio. You look at who you worked for. He was linked to Chinese intelligence. You look at other money that was transferred.

There was a gentleman who transferred $5 million to Hunter Biden. He was at the exact same time, business partners with the vice minister of the ministry of state security, whose job was recruiting foreigners to spy on China.

GLENN: Unbelievable.

PETER: So to me, Glenn, the question is, corruption, absolutely. The question is, explain to me, Hunter Biden and Joe Biden, how your family -- it's not just Hunter. Your family got $31 million from four Chinese businessmen, with links to Chinese intelligence.

You did no discernible service in return. And what did the Chinese get out of the deal? They did not send you $31 million, because they think you're nice guys. That should be issue number one. This is a question of compromise -- kompromat, as they used to say in the Cold War. And that they question foreign intelligence penetration of the First Family of the United States. That's issue number one, as far as I'm concerned.

GLENN: All right. I want to switch topics, and I want to go with what senator -- I mean, what secretary Granholm said. We have to make this happen for our own energy independence and national security. She's talking about getting America off of, quote, Russian nuclear supplies.

I'm going to talk to Peter about that. Give me 60 seconds. We'll be back in the conversation.

JEFFY: American Financing. NMLS 182334. Www.NMLSconsumeraccess.org.

GLENN: Russia's dominance in the global nuclear fuel market, presents a massive challenge for Washington.

Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm said, President Biden is redoubling his efforts to break the U.S. reliance on Russian nuclear fuel.

Indicating domestic uranium enrichment capacity, could be increased with upcoming key legislation. We're going to get congressional support in a bipartisan way for us to make our own fuel supply cycle chain, independent.

Certainly, independent of Russia.

We have to make this happen for our own independence. And for our national security.

Peter, what's the problem with that story?

What -- what is missing in that story?

PETER: Well, what's missing in that story, Glenn. Is one of the big reasons, that we are so dependent on Russian uranium now.

And let's remember, when the Biden administration said, we're not going to take any Russian oil. Because of their invasion of Ukraine, they excluded cutting off the supply of Russian uranium. Because we're so dependent on it. So how did we get this state?

One of the reasons is this deal, we talked about on your program, several years ago. Uranium one.

This was a nuclear uranium company, that was initially controlled by a Canadian, named Frank Giustra, who was a big Bill Clinton donor.

And they went over to Kazakhstan, to meet with President Nasir, the head of that country.

And said, look, we want to buy all these lucrative minds that you have. Producing uranium in your country. Give them to us. I'm a Canadian. This is a former president of the United States.

And we'll take good care of it. Just to adopt those minds. Purchase them. Paid some hundred million dollars to the Clinton Foundation, for Bill showing up.

Here's the problem: Giustra then flipped and sold those mines, as well as minds that he controlled in the United States. To who?

To Rosatom, the Soviet state-owned uranium company, that now dominates the market. So we have a situation, where part of the reason, that we are so dependent on Russian uranium. Part of the reason, they've been able to almost effectively corner the global market. Is because -- is because Bill Clinton helped facilitate this deal, that gave Russia control over uranium minds in the United States.

But even more importantly, some of the most powerful and lucrative, and proficient uranium minds in Kazakhstan.

And that is why we're over a barrel today.

Frank juster made a lot of money in the deal.

Bill Clinton, and Clinton made a lot of money in the deal. The problem is the American people got screwed, because it enhanced our dependence on Russian uranium. And that's where we are today.

GLENN: And if I'm not mistaken, because it's been a while since I've looked at this story.

It was all kind of done hush, hush. Just kind of rushed through the committees. It should have never gone through.

Because it is a -- a national risk, to put everything there.

And Hillary Clinton said, oh. I didn't. I didn't. I wasn't involved in this at all. I don't know.

I just know that the government found that it wouldn't be putting our government at risk. And our nation at risk. So, you know, we're going to go through with it.

Didn't this story happen something like that?

PETER: Yeah. Yeah. So this deal, the sale of uranium one, which was an American uranium company to the Russian state-owned company. Rosatom, required approval by the federal government body and the Obama administration called CFIUS, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

And you would think, this is a pretty big deal, right?

Are we really going to put Putin in charge of all this uranium?

The deal went through quickly.

Hillary Clinton of course has a seat on CFIUS. She claims she doesn't remember anything about it. And you have all these other actors of the Clinton era. And some currently of the Biden administration, that were involved. Involved, Glenn.

So remember John Podesta, who was an adviser to the Clintons. His brother Tony Podesta, was actually a lobbyist, for uranium one. On these kinds of deals.

You had John Podesta himself, that was involved in energy companies, that were backed by Russian-state owned firms.

Joe Biden's current energy envoy, who is negotiating some of these deals involving oil and uranium. This guy named Amos Hawkseen (phonetic), he was a lobbyist for a Russian company called Tenex.

GLENN: Jeez.

PETER: Which is basically a sister company for Uranium One.

If you look at Jake Sullivan. Jake Sullivan, who, of course, is the current national security advisor, signed off on Bill Clinton.

When all these deals were going down, Russian entities are paying Bill Clinton inflated speaking fees. Half a million dollars a pop. Who was approving those deals?

A guy named Jake Sullivan, who now happens to be a national security adviser for Joe Biden.

So this is a problem, where, it's not just something for the past. It's something that involves decision makers in the present too.

GLENN: I have to tell you, it's so frustrating. And I think it is for the average person.

You know, any of this stuff would happen with me or you. We would all be in jail.

The Clinton Foundation is so incredibly transparent on its corruption. You know, it goes away when Trump is in office. Just goes away. No. We're shutting it down.

And then lo and behold. Biden gets in. We're opening it up again. Open for business.

All of the people -- I mean, you're either committed to helping people, or you're committed to making money.

And brokering deals. And it is so transparent. Is this thing ever going to be taken care of?

PETER: It's hard to know. I mean, part of the problem, Glenn, as you know, you study Washington. All this time, as I have.

There's ways to do corrupt things in Washington, that are profoundly corrupt.

If you do them the wrong way, you're going to jail. If you're doing them the right way, you can get away with it. So we're dealing with very smart people, who hire very high priced lawyers, to dance around and create subterfuge for what they're really doing.

To give it an air, or veneer, in my mind, of legality. So that's part of the problem with you have inherently.

I think the ultimate solution here is shame and exposure.

And the hope that that is going to lead to actual criminal investigation.

And I think look, coming up in November. We're going to have these elections. The balance of the House of Representatives, and Senate, is in question. And my point is, you have to have independent bodies that are prepared to bring out, what information we know. To hold Hunter Biden to account. It's very clear, the FBI is not going to hold Hunter Biden to account. They're not going to investigate Uranium One.

So it means we have to have congressional committees, with subpoena power doing it.

That's only going to happen, if the Republicans have the majority in the House and Senate.

So a lot of these matters hang in the balance, as to who will be controlling Congress. After the November elections.

GLENN: I just hope there's enough in there, that are not corrupt. That, you know -- they're not -- they're not being blackmailed, to not get involved, or just are like, I'm sitting on the sidelines. Because I don't want my name being brought up at all.

You know, I fear that could happen easily.

PETER: Yeah. And, Glenn, here's the thing. A lot of people are talking about this right now. If we retake the House. We're going to investigate X, Y, and Z. If they fail to do that, that to me, will be the dagger in the heart, basically. Of the Republican Party. And of conservatives.

Because people are fed up with the lip service being paid to -- we're going to hold them into account.

So that's really, I think where the stakes are. And you're quite right.

Just because somebody says, they're going to do it in Washington, you're going to pay a price.

If you start dredging up. And start talking about Chinese deals, involving the first family of the United States.

A lot of other stuff is going to come to the fore. And there's a lot of people on powerful positions on the Republican side, who don't want that to happen, either.

So that's why we have to hold their feet to the fire. I know you've done that. That's what I'm hoping to do. And let's hope the people listening, are prepared to do that.

And let the elected officials know. This matters to them. And this is of profound importance.

GLENN: I've told many officials in Washington, DC, that are Republicans.

I said, you guys have one more shot. This is it. This is it.

If you win the House, and especially if you win the House and the Senate and you aren't standing up and protecting the American people and the Constitution and putting bad guys on trial, and then, cleaning up the FBI and Justice Department, so they can actually put them in jail, if you're not doing that, you are absolutely done. Just like you said. The last chance.

I'm glad to hear you believe that too.
(music)

PETER: Absolutely. Thanks, Glenn. It's always good to be with you.

GLENN: Peter Schweizer. The author of red-handed. And the co-host of the podcast, The Drilldown. Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute.

Wouldn't it be nice, if we had government accountability?

We can bring it back. Vote! Get out and vote.

The Book of Enoch: Did Extraterrestrial Beings DESCEND in the Days of Noah?!

The Book of Enoch tells a story the Bible only hints at: A story of heavenly beings who descended to Earth, took human wives, created hybrid giants, and unleashed forbidden knowledge that corrupted the world before the Flood. Glenn Beck and researcher Timothy Alberino break down how the ancient Hebrew worldview explains the Watchers, the Nephilim, the origins of demigod myths, and why Peter and Jude referenced Enoch directly in the New Testament. From extraterrestrial terms in Scripture to the cosmic “family of God” and the divine rebellion that reshaped human history, this discussion reveals a forgotten narrative that once defined early Jewish and Christian theology. What really happened in the days of Noah, and why does it matter now?

Cracker Barrel CEO breaks silence on logo controversy in exclusive interview

Glenn Beck recently spoke with Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Masino about the company’s infamous attempt to change its logo, and he asked the question everyone has been wondering: Why wasn’t she fired?! Glenn previews his interview, which debuts Thursday, Nov. 20 at 6PM ET!

Transcript

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I was in Tennessee this weekend, and Saturday morning, I go to -- I think store number two for Cracker Barrel. And I met with the senior vice president and the CEO of Cracker Barrel. And we sat down, and we had an interview. And Julie, who has not done an interview since Good Morning America, kind of said, okay. No more interviews, because that didn't go well.

This was her first interview since then.

And, you know, it was weird. Because I got off. I got off the plane.

And, oh. Somebody on the plane said, "What are you doing here?"

And I said, "I'm going to go interview the CEO of -- of Cracker Barrel."

And the immediate response was, "Get her!"

I was like, "Wow. Okay. All right. Thank you."

I get into the car, and the Uber driver says to me, "What are you doing here?" And I said, "I'm going to meet with the person at Cracker Barrel."

"Boy, she really screwed her up. You hold her feet to the fire."

I mean, I've never -- I've never seen anything like that. And, you know, I started the interview with her, you know, honestly. And I said, look, I -- I -- I'm not here to get you. I'm not here to do anything, but ask questions that I think everybody in America wants to know.

Like, what the hell were you thinking?

And I asked her some -- asked her all of the really pointed questions. Rikki, the TV executive producer said, "There's no way. I know you. You're going to soften. There's no way."

And when I got up afterwards, she was like, "Wow. Okay. You didn't -- you really -- you really didn't soften. You know, you asked all of those questions."

Because I thought they were fair. And I told her, "Look, I hate conflict. I'm not here for conflict. I'm not here. I don't need to make a name for myself by giving you a hard time. I don't care about any of that. I just want to do my job and ask you, 'What happened here?'"

And I said, "So I'm going to ask you really uncomfortable questions." And she was prepared. And I think I finally broke through, and got the real answer in the end. I think I got the real answer.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: And it came from one of the questions I asked was, I mean, are you surprised, you haven't been fired yet?

And her response was, all telling. All telling. It's a fascinating interview you should watch. It's going to happen, I think Thursday on the podcast.

STU: Because I'm mildly surprised that hasn't happened. You know, like just because -- not because -- I don't know. There's a lot of things she's been accused of and everything else.

But just like, when you have a situation like this, where you're trying a major change and you roll it out a specific way and it does not go well, you know, it's usually -- it's like, when you're general manager of a football team, you go through the process. You evaluate all the quarterbacks. You pick the guy.

And that guy is a total bust, like you usually don't survive it. It doesn't necessarily mean you went through the process incorrectly. But when you miss, usually something happens like that. Does she feel like she missed like that?

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yes, she does.

She's a very bright woman. I mean, she ran Coach, you know, the purse place or whatever.
STU: The purse company.
GLENN: The Coach brand. Godiva Chocolates. Taco Bell, the whole -- global. (I mean, she's a Fortune 500 CEO. She's very, very competent. Very competent.

So how could somebody very, very competent make this mistake?

STU: Hmm. Did she walk you through that? How that happened?

GLENN: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah. She see.

And what's interesting is, they brought the senior vice president was also sitting there.

And he has been brought in since.

I mean, he had been there for 30, 35 years.

And really good guy. And he was one of the voices that was like, while that was happening, like, you guys. Hey, everybody upstairs. You shouldn't be doing this.

It's a bad idea. And so after they were like, "Hey. You know who was saying this? Let's bring him upstairs." And it was interesting to talk to him, because he's been long before she got there. So he kind of gave the view of, here's what happened before she got here! And here's where she came in.

And here's what happened.

And it's -- it's really fascinating.

I mean, if you want to hear the real story behind it.

And -- and also see somebody -- I mean, just wait until you hear her answer on -- I mean, it was so powerful and so honest. When I said, are you surprised you haven't been fired yet?

It was a fascinating answer.

STU: How many pancakes did you --

GLENN: Podcast on Thursday, I didn't eat any.

STU: You went to Cracker Barrel headquarters, and you ate zero pancakes?

GLENN: I didn't. I didn't. It was very difficult to not order the pancakes.

STU: You're the type of guy who gets pancakes by mistake. What do you mean you've got none?

GLENN: I was looking at my wife. My wife was sitting off to the side of the camera. And I'm looking at her. I'm like, she's so beautiful. And I eat pancakes, too many times.

STU: Uh-huh.

GLENN: And she's just -- she has to live with this, the pancake-wearing shoes. I'm not going to order the pancakes. The pancakes.

THIS Epstein quote could PROVE Trump’s real ties to the scandal

Democrats are trying yet again to tie President Trump to Jeffrey Epstein’s scandals. This time, they’ve highlighted that Epstein once referred to Trump as “the dog that hasn’t barked.” Is this proof that Trump is in the Epstein Files…or is it actually evidence that he was a whistleblower against Epstein? Glenn and Stu discuss…

GLENN: Now, Jeffrey Epstein is back in the news today. Could we just for the love of Pete release everything that we have, so we can move on! From the Jeffrey Epstein thing.

Here's the answer: No.

Even if we release everything that we still have, this is going to go on for the rest of our lives.

It will always -- and probably, into our children's lives.

Do you know, Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump were the reason we never went to the moon.

It's going to happen!

It's just one of these conspiracy theories, that will never, ever go away.

Why?

Because no one was honest about it in the first place. Once you start to lie, you lie once -- once! If you're a very honest person, you will lie once. And then people are like, what? What?

Why would he lie about that? What is going on?

He's not like that. But if you're the United States governor government. You already have no credibility whatsoever!

Stop lying to the American people.

Just stop it. You know, I said something a minute ago. One of the reasons why you're hearing lies is because it works to the advantage of a Colour Revolution.

You know, there are reasons why people are lying to you. Some of it, they're just dirtbags and they're liars. Some of it, they're politicians, and so they're liars.

Some of it, however, a good deal of it is, we lie, because we know it causes damage to the credibility of this entire system.

We know it does damage to the culture of America, and we are here trying to destroy the culture of America because we want to try something new. And the only -- you won't vote for it. So the only way we can get America to change and do something entirely different, that they will never vote for, is just to cause chaos and disbelief in everything!

So as I said a minute ago, you know, it's not the news. Many times, it's a reflection of a plan! And when it comes to the Epstein thing, this is absolutely a plan. The way this thing has been played out. Democrats are completely against bringing anything out against Epstein.

They don't want to do anything about it. The media. Do you remember the ABC anchor that went into a commercial break. And she was like, you know what, I've got to tell you, Epstein. You know, we had the goods on him. Dead to rights.

Clinton. All of it.

And we were told, pull it.

Remember that.

Remember that, gang?

They pulled it at ABC. I think they fired the person who tried to -- who released that video.

Or tried to fire that person. I think they were working either at CBS or whatever. That person was in trouble for releasing that behind the scenes tape.

They had no intention of it. Now, everybody wants the Epstein tapes. Wait a minute. You didn't want them when Biden went in. And you could have said something, Democrats. And you could have released it all.

And, you know, it's funny. It is just so full of stuff about Donald Trump. Then why wouldn't they release just that?

Why wouldn't have the Democrats released anything in the Epstein file?

You're telling me, we've got to find something on them. Hey. I've got the Epstein files. Yeah, yeah. We've got to find something on it.

I have got some information here about Epstein. Him and Epstein, they were fooling around. Yeah, shut up for a second. Is there anything at all, that we can construe and manufacture about his banks?

I know!

He's got a vet signal between his bank and the Russian bank. I've got stuff about the Epstein.

Come on! If they had stuff about the Epstein, they would have gone to the stuff about the Epstein files.

They don't have anything, they don't have anything.

Now, let me speak directly to conservatives. They're not going to release anything about the Democrats, because they had the Epstein files.

Do you think that -- let's just say, I'm not even going to name names. Let's just say the most powerful people on the earth. The most powerful people with powerful connections, to government.

They knew their names were, you know, there on little, you know, guest books at the island, or whatever.

You don't think they called in some favors and said, "Hey, I need that -- can you remove that?"

You don't think that there were people that were like, "Hey. You know what, we'll remove that."

"We need $100 million from you, to help out on this campaign."

I mean, whatever it is, those names are gone too! They're gone! How do I know this?

Because the government is completely dishonest! That's how I know that.

But, anyway, now, Donald Trump.

STU: You don't think anything of interest would be in these files?

I mean, I think we've already seen some stuff of interest in the emails, no?

GLENN: Yeah, I think there are stuff of interest. I don't think there's going to be anyone at a very high level that is going to get -- that's going to be like, holy cow. Look, here's pictures with him with a 14-year-old girl!

That's not going to happen.

STU: Right. Somewhere that stuff, at least at the upper levels, not there.

Now, here's what is interesting: The timing of the release of a few documents last week. The Democrats released some documents.

And they released them, and at the same time, that Johnson were saying, by the way, we are going to expedite the releasing of everything.

So there's no reason to leak anything. But the Democrats decide to leak some stuff. They like a memo. And in that, oh, my gosh.

Look at what was said. What was said in that memo. Well, it was said, you know, the only dog that hasn't barked is Trump!

Well, what -- what did he mean by that?

He's keeping it quiet. All of these things. All of these innuendos and everything. Well, now we know, from the guy who wrote the book, all the president's meeting. Donald Trump and the making of a predator, that guy came out this weekend and said, no, no. That's not what he meant.

What did he mean?

In 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about JASE Medical.

Something I've noticed about the way Americans used to live. We didn't wait around for somebody else to fix our problems. We were the first responders.

We kept a little extra on hand. We learned the basics. We made sure families could get through whatever came our way. And today, that kind of common sense, that kind of personal responsibility makes you into a crazy crackpot revolutionary. Okay?

Fine!

Be that way. I am totally fine being a crackpot revolutionary, as long as my family is safe!

I believe strongly in what JASE Medical is doing.

I have been looking for a company to do this for a long time. They're the only company that ever answered the question with me, with my preparation.

What do we do about medical? What do we do, if there's a breakdown on anything? How do I get my medicine?

My children's medicine. I have two daughters that have seizures.

I -- they have to have their medicine.

What do we do?

You're traveling.

And you -- I forgot the medicine. You don't -- you ran out. Whatever it is.

Or somebody gets sick. And you need antibiotics. It's a pain in the butt. What do you do?

JASE. JASE Medical.

They have the JASE case. It's a safety net. Simple, responsible step, that makes sure you're not empty handed when life throws something big at you. Order your JASE case today.

It's all done by doctors. They talk to you. Get the medications that you need.

They have emergency antibiotics. Exactly how you use them. When to use them.

Promo code Beck is how you'll save.

B-E-C-K when you go to JASE.com.

JASE.com. All right. Ten seconds. And back to the program.

GLENN: So Barry Levine comes on. And he's on MSNBC this wreaked.

And he's asked, so tell me, I mean, we've seen this email between you and Epstein. What did he mean that the to go that hasn't barked is Trump. What do you think he's referring to?

Okay. What was he referring to?

I think Epstein is referring to the fact that he believed that Donald Trump talked to Michael rider who was the Palm Beach police chief in 2004. And began the first investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

So, in other words, he was the whistle-blower!

Yeah. But he's got all kinds of stuff in his -- in Jeffrey Epstein's books.

He's the whistle-blower!

The one thing you don't do is blow the whistle, when you know you got fingerprints all over the dead body. And the handgun that killed him!

You know what, I think you could find that hand gun, in this alleyway. Your fingerprints are on it. Man, why would you blow the whistle?

The suspect, he said, I suspected that Jeffrey Epstein was saying, he was 75 percent there.

Believing that Trump might have been the whistle-blower at the time. He believed it's 75 percent.

Now, how do you release something.

I mean, if you think things will be released. That will get Donald Trump. Why would you release that?

Where after two days of it being out, the guy who was part of that email, who hates Donald Trump, is like, yeah.

That's not what it means. It means he was whistle blower. Jeez.

STU: That is interesting. And I will say, you know, it is -- amazing that that's what they released. And chose to release.

That's the same email, by the way, that you're mentioning. That they blacked out the name of Virginia Giuffre, which they did intentionally. Because she has said that he was nothing, but respectful. And was never with any of the girls at all.

In not only her book, but also in testimony, under oath.

And the other one, that they released, which said, Trump -- he says, of course, he knew about the girls, was the other big one that they released. Which they left the -- well, they didn't leave it out. They just hoped you didn't focus on the next part of the sentence, which he says, that of course, he knew about the girls, as he asked Ghislaine to stop. Which would indicate, even if he was aware of this, which I don't think this had anything to do with the sex stuff. I think this was about him taking them.

GLENN: No. It was about poaching his girls from Mar-a-Lago.

STU: Right.

GLENN: The employees. He knows that we're poaching these girls. It doesn't mean he knows what they're doing with them. Stop taking my employees!

Okay. Now, if you suspect he's the whistle-blower and he knew you were taking employees from him, you know, in retrospect, you know, looking at it later, you go, oh, man, he's the whistle-blower?

But he also knows about the girls.

He knows we were taking them.

Does he know what we were doing with the girls?

I mean, this does not hurt Donald Trump. It helps Donald Trump.

STU: What about the one they released from Jeffrey Epstein. Where he said, I've met some very bad people, and none are as bad as Trump.

I mean, what if they come up with bad comments from Jeffrey Dahmer about Donald Trump? What will you say then? I mean, this is so dumb.

GLENN: I've eaten some bad eggs in my life, but I would not eat Donald Trump. I'll tell you that right now.

Below is a rush transcript that may contain errors

GLENN: I've got somebody on, who is in just an amazing, amazing show from Amazon. House of David. If you haven't seen House of David yet, you have to. Do you remember when-like biblical movies. I mean, they were good in the '50s. And then they got really, really bad.

And then all through the '70s and '80s and 2000s. They were horrible.

And then all of a sudden, they got really, really good?

This someone amazing. This is as good as the Jesus. What is the Jesus one?

Chosen.

It's called House of David. It's on Amazon, and we have the guy who portrays David. Michael Iskander on with us.

Michael, how are you?

MICHAEL: I'm good. What an introduction. Thank you for that!

GLENN: I mean, it's really.

Come on. Was there any time, that you thought, oh, man. This might -- I hope they do it right!

And then you saw the finished product, and you were like, wow! This is good?

MICHAEL: Yeah. That was -- you know, I try to keep my head down, and, you know, it's -- it's not finished until it's finished.

And season two is coming out. You know, I'm just going to be hearing the response of how this show is really affecting people.

GLENN: So can I talk to you about Goliath?

Because Goliath is portrayed really as a giant. Not just a big guy. He's a giant.

MICHAEL: Yeah.

GLENN: Talk to me about that.

MICHAEL: Well, I'll tell you what, when I first met Martin.

He was -- I went to -- I went to the gym with him one time.

And I -- I knew, I'm going to get, you know, my stuff. So I was prepared for that.

And -- and he made me workout for two and a half hours. And I thought that the workout was done. And he was like, no. There's another half. And, man, he -- Martin is a really dedicated man. And he just -- he pushed me to the edge, when it came to working out.

And, you know, when it comes to his role with Goliath. He's someone that really just put all the effort, both physically and emotionally to really portray that part, as best as he can.

GLENN: How long did it take you to learn the slingshot?

MICHAEL: Three days. It wasn't too bad.

GLENN: Well, I heard you had problem with the sheep.

That the sheep were -- they were not helpful.

MICHAEL: The sheep -- well, the sheep were actually really interesting.

I remember when we first started filming, they -- they put me in sheep training classes.

Because when I get on tape. They have to make sure, that I'm not -- you know, I'm not going to get attacked by one of the sheep. And I'm comfortable around them.

The sheep. First day I show up to this training, and she painted me. And you would think that the guy who plays David, you know, would think of his sheep.

GLENN: No. I don't. I don't. I don't think that's natural. You're an actor. I don't know if that's -- yep, well, they picked me because I'm good with sheep.

MICHAEL: I should get classes from you.

GLENN: I don't know.

MICHAEL: But, no. I mean, it really -- spent a lot of time with the Shepherd.
And he was giving me some really amazing lessons.
He saw that I was having trouble.

And he said, you know, you should stick next to me. Because this sheep, when they see you with the shepherd, they'll know that you're with me.
So they'll never leave my side.

GLENN: It's amazing.

MICHAEL: I want you to spend a lot of time with me. And I he said, oh, okay. And he said, I want you to know another thing: A bad shepherd is a shepherd who is behind the flock. And so you, you're going to be a good shepherd. You're going to show them. You're not going to let them lead you.

You're going to lead them, and you're going to be in the front taking risks and showing them the path.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

MICHAEL: And he is saying this, I think -- I think I'm getting more than just a sheep lesson here. It really helped in terms of understanding who David was as a person. And then his relationship to Christ.

And why -- why David was chosen as king.

GLENN: Is it true that you fasted, before the audition? I mean, you're a Broadway guy.

MICHAEL: Yeah. Yeah. I sent in the first audition. I was really excited about it.

And it was a dream of mine for a long time. You know, one of these dreams, that you don't tell anyone. And you don't think it will ever happen.

GLENN: To play David specifically? Or to be --

MICHAEL: Yeah, to play David. To play David.

GLENN: Really?

MICHAEL: And because I was inspired by the Chosen.

And I wanted to maybe do flashback scenes with a young David, or something.

When I got the audition, and they originally said no. I thought, oh, that would have been a good opportunity.

GLENN: Hmm.

MICHAEL: And I got another audition. I called my mom. And I said, Mom, this doesn't happen often. Can you believe it? She said, Michael, calm down.

The one thing I need you to do. I need you to fast, and I need you to pray.

I said, yes, ma'am.

A week later, I was having lunch with Jon Erwin. And he -- it kind of took off from there.

But, yeah, fasting and prayer.

GLENN: You know, I'm friends with.
I went to school with Jim Caviezel. And I can't remember what grade he was in. Maybe fifth grade, I think. But he went into church, and all by himself.

And he prayed, and he made a pact with God. Let me -- all I want, Lord, is to play you in a movie some day, and I will live my life honorably to be able to be ready, but I want to play you.

And so he told me when Mel called, he was like, yeah, I've been waiting for the call. It's an amazing thing.

MICHAEL: Wow. I didn't know that story. That's beautiful.

GLENN: Yeah. What do you think it is about the story about -- this was the number one show -- number one series on -- on Amazon -- on Amazon Prime this year.

What is it about the series that you think is connecting?

MICHAEL: You know, I -- I think it's different for everybody.

But I'll tell you for me.

The reason why this show means a lot to me, is because, David points us to Christ.

And -- and David is -- is a person.

He to me, is the embodiment to what it means to be human.

And to make mistakes. And find forgiveness.

It's a complex, long story.

But he was a man that -- that -- he's known as the man after God's own heart.

So for people to see that example. To see, to see the man that God loved so much, that Jesus himself was -- son of David.

I think that's what -- they see the Holy Spirit in the show. I mean, that's what I see.
And that's who I do it for.

GLENN: It's -- it's -- it's amazing to me, how -- with the exception of one, the Bible -- every single hero is so deeply flawed.

And David is so good, so good, and then, you know, becomes really, really does one of the worst things I think I've ever read in the Bible. I mean, just really bad.

MICHAEL: Yeah.

GLENN: Are you going to play -- do you have any idea, assuming the ratings are there, how long of the story you're going to tell?

MICHAEL: I really don't know. I mean, we're just trying to get to season two right now in the release.

Hopefully, pray for us, that we can get to season three, and we can keep telling the story.

I don't know what Erwin and Gunn have. What they're picking up. But I pray that we tell as much of the story as possible. I think it's important to see both the good and the bad. Like you said, to see this flawed human being, to see someone make mistakes, and to see them get back up and repent.

And ask for forgiveness. And find grace in God. So we'll see!

Pray for us.

GLENN: You -- I read some place that you were a Broadway guy. And I thought, this career is not over yet.

I mean, are you prepared to always be David?

I mean, the guy who is playing Jesus now. Jim Caviezel said, it took years before he was allowed to play anything else.

And I can't remember the guy who was playing Jesus his whole life. He is Jesus to a lot of people. Are you prepared to this be you for the rest of your life now?

And not, you know, going -- going back and doing other things, if that's the way it is?

MICHAEL: You know what, God has taken me through so much in my life, that I'm sure he's going to get me through this.

And if I'm known as the guy who plays David, I think it's actually a blessing. And I don't know what God has in store, but I trust him.

GLENN: Yeah.

MICHAEL: When that time comes, I will worry about it then. But nor for now, I'm having a great time portraying one of my favorite people.

GLENN: I just have to ask you a personal question. One for me. My daughter wants to be on Broadway. Can you talk her out of it in 30 seconds, please?

MICHAEL: Oh, man, I don't know if I want to talk her out of it.

GLENN: Okay. Well, time for you to go now.
(laughter)
Michael, thank you so much, and we're looking forward -- when does it premiere? Is it this weekend? Is it out?

MICHAEL: Well, episode eight is out on Warner Project on Prime this Sunday. Yeah.

GLENN: Okay. Good. Good.

Well, we'll be watching. Thank you so much, Michael. I appreciate it.
MICHAEL: Thank you so much, Glenn. Have a good one. Take care.
GLENN: You bet. If you haven't seen the first season, you really should see it.

It's really, really good. It's one of those that I started watching, you know.

And I stopped because I was like, wait.

Tania, we should watch this together. And she came home. And so we started watching it, and I think we watched the whole season in one weekend.

It's one of those. It's really good. Season two premieres this Sunday.
