Great podcast today. We have Peter Swiser on with Red-Handed. You're not going to believe
00:00:05.680
the corruption. We talk about what you need to do for your dollar and for your savings,
00:00:11.740
because as you have a little outline today, it's pretty clear hard times are coming our way.
00:00:18.060
Remember, hard times made us. Some stunning developments in the Joe Rogan situation,
00:00:22.820
and maybe the most stunning development was CNN today. I'm sorry, did that sound evil?
00:00:28.880
That's it. All on today's podcast. Don't miss it. BlazeTV.com slash Glenn. You're going to have
00:00:33.940
Peter Swiser on your show. Yeah, big chalkboard tonight to show you the corruption in Washington,
00:00:38.980
how deep it goes all to China. I'll be talking to him as well on Studios America. Lots of Peter
00:00:44.000
Swiser today, but he's got a really in-depth book, and you need to know this stuff. Red-Handed is the
00:00:48.780
name of it. Yeah, Red-Handed. Also, Glenn Beck has a book out you might want to hear about,
00:00:52.200
The Great Reset. You can now, at least there's a couple of websites accepting orders now. You
00:00:55.980
want to get involved in this batch of orders, because once this printing sells out, you're
00:01:01.000
going to have to wait another month or two. Who knows? So, if you go to Glenn Beck.com,
00:01:04.860
there's links to all the places you can go buy the book right now. Check it out there,
00:01:09.080
or get it on Kindle. Audiobook coming soon-ish. We'll give you the details of that.
00:01:14.220
And the book, it should be, if you get into this printing, book should ship to your house
00:01:18.040
within a couple of weeks. I keep coming back to this idea. You're still back on last hour.
00:01:38.060
Yeah, last hour. You have this hour to cover. I know. Well, there's more to this, I think.
00:01:41.800
The last hour we talked about, you know, potential economic collapse and everything. And one of the
00:01:49.160
reasons why, because, you know, look, you're well-known for predicting economic collapse at
00:01:52.440
all times. But that's just your persona. Yeah, right. But this is a different thing. You're
00:01:59.960
making, obviously, a very specific case here. And one of the reasons why I think this one
00:02:05.800
connects to me, and it feels at least more imminent, is because it doesn't feel like we
00:02:13.120
really paid the price for what happened through the COVID era, right? Now, if you're a local
00:02:20.360
business person, you own a bar, it went out of business, you certainly feel like you paid the
00:02:24.140
price. A lot of people individually paid the price. But I'm talking about, like, the nationwide
00:02:28.220
economy. We... Well, let's put it... Let me just shore up what you're saying here. Sure.
00:02:34.100
We thought $11 trillion was a really bad debt. We thought $21 trillion is a really bad debt.
00:02:42.900
Today or yesterday, we crossed the $30 trillion threshold as our national debt. That's bad. And,
00:02:51.380
you know, never thought it would accelerate the way it has. You know, so you thought, well,
00:02:57.940
this economy, I mean, we can't keep spending this way. But now we're not spending that way.
00:03:03.080
We're spending crazy amounts of money. Is that what you're talking about?
00:03:07.600
Yeah. So, we've been doing this show for, you know, 20 years now.
00:03:12.520
And throughout that time, we both had, I think, a thesis, generally speaking, of what a large
00:03:19.140
government and a large amount of debt meant, which was, over time, we are going to hit a point
00:03:24.780
that we cross that we can't pay it off. We can't turn it around. And it feels like we kind of have
00:03:30.160
already crossed the line of we're never going to be able to pay it off. But we hadn't hit that point
00:03:35.860
where it was so catastrophic that we couldn't still mull our way through things and still grow
00:03:43.240
and with innovation. And, you know, there was still some theoretical hope out there. And I don't know,
00:03:48.480
in my mind, and you may have had a different timeline on this, but before COVID, I had this
00:03:54.400
picture of, like, at some point in my lifetime, we're going to hit this trouble spot. And my kids
00:04:00.260
are really going to have, we've always said, like, your kids are going to have to pay for this,
00:04:03.120
your grandkids. At some point, coming soon to a theater near you, we're going to hit a point of
00:04:07.460
debt that is insurmountable and causes real-world cataclysmic problems.
00:04:13.620
And despite what we've done for the rest of the world, they will not forgive our debt.
00:04:19.180
No. No. And so that was coming in, I don't know, 10, 20, 30, 40, before 2050, maybe? I don't know.
00:04:28.020
Some point in the medium-term future. This is not a thousand-year problem, but it's not tomorrow
00:04:34.420
either. That's how I've been living. However, with that thought was an expectation of normalcy.
00:04:43.460
Right? Where we are increasing the debt here and there. We add a program here and there.
00:04:49.020
You know, we have a crisis here or there that increases the debt. But it's not COVID. COVID is,
00:04:57.080
it hits us and has its real-world impacts on people and such, but then also has us spending
00:05:04.020
nine, ten trillion dollars. The Fed dumping seven, eight trillion dollars into the economy
00:05:14.440
Yes. It is $1.6 trillion currently. $1.6 trillion every single week. Every week that they are now
00:05:26.920
pumping into the financial markets on a payback of 30 days, or sorry, 90 days, if they pay it back.
00:05:35.660
Where is that money going? $1.6 trillion every week?
00:05:43.560
And that's on top of the giant bills that we discuss?
00:05:47.480
Routinely. It's on top of just what the Fed is doing on a day-to-day basis. It's on top of
00:05:54.740
all the stuff that happened before Biden even became president.
00:05:58.040
Correct. On top of what we now know because of a Freedom of Information Act, what they did 12 years ago
00:06:05.240
when the Fed said, we gave the banks $5 trillion to bail them out. No, they didn't. And the money went
00:06:11.680
around the world as well. They gave $30 trillion. $30.
00:06:17.480
$30 trillion. So that, remember, that's our entire national debt.
00:06:22.360
Well, the Fed also, by 2010, had already added to their balance sheet, they keep saying it's $7.
00:06:34.240
No. They gave, because of a Freedom of Information Act that we had to wait 12 years for or 10 years for,
00:06:48.080
So, we know that it was worse before COVID than we knew.
00:06:54.300
We know that COVID is worse than they're telling us.
00:06:57.540
And we also know that while there was particularly short-term economic shock at the very beginning of this,
00:07:05.080
we did have that. But generally speaking, we're back to normal unemployment levels in theory.
00:07:11.380
We're back to a good stock market number. We're back to...
00:07:18.140
If you believe their numbers and you look at the stock market and you don't think,
00:07:24.060
hmm, how many trillions are going to, you know, JP Morgan?
00:07:31.560
How much, how many trillions are being dumped into the stock market? Is that number even real?
00:07:36.960
Right. But you're picking apart the way I'm setting this up.
00:07:41.620
No, no. I think you're making good points here and they are important.
00:07:44.720
But my point is, it hasn't felt like the catastrophe you would have expected.
00:07:50.360
If I told you in January 2020, we are going to completely turn the economy off for a year or at least most of it for a good chunk of a year
00:08:00.340
and then trickle back into life where people are being paid by the government to not work, right?
00:08:08.140
Not just normal unemployment, but incentivizing them to stay home to the point where people are offering thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars of bonuses to fast food workers to come back.
00:08:19.340
All of the craziness that we're seeing there, we have not felt the pain of the scale of what COVID was to this country.
00:08:34.140
They know. We can't feel it. That's why I've been saying since 2019, there's something wrong in the financial sector that started with $150 billion a week loans to these banks.
00:08:48.180
And it went up to April 2020, they were giving loans for 90 days to these financial institutions of $1 trillion a week.
00:09:03.620
So that's $96 trillion that has been pumped into these banks for some reason or another.
00:09:10.800
And now we find out that it's actually not $1 trillion.
00:09:16.140
So the way you as a household have these moments, right?
00:09:21.280
Let's say you're short of money, it comes to December, you take your credit cards out, you buy Christmas presents, right?
00:09:25.580
You can do that for a while and maintain the lack of pain through Christmas because you have credit cards.
00:09:34.540
Got to pay it back eventually. We all know that.
00:09:36.220
What we've seen here is my, I think, the general conservative's idea of massive spending out of control over the next several decades that gets us in trouble, but all jammed into a two-year period.
00:09:51.180
So, you know, it seems to me, and I keep coming back to this way of thinking, is if we somehow are able to navigate this without any pain, and I don't want to say any pain, but without the amount of pain you'd expect.
00:10:06.920
Without something crazy and real economic destruction, either our analysis of debt as a whole was wrong or did not take into account enough variables.
00:10:31.560
Okay. So let me just break this down on bare minimum, and this isn't coming from me.
00:10:45.320
More on the left, but a very, very smart person on the left.
00:10:49.900
I don't think he is the one that is going to slow down spending.
00:10:58.500
And he is the one that went to the Biden administration as a left-wing advisor, was a big Obama advisor
00:11:04.500
and cabinet member, and went to Biden and said, guys, stop this.
00:11:09.520
So Larry Summers sat down with a congressman that I talked to, and it was an open conversation,
00:11:18.480
But he sat down with this congressman, and they had a conversation, and he said to Larry,
00:11:28.500
And he said, bare minimum, baked in, no way out.
00:11:34.780
Bare minimum is 10% inflation for the next 10 years.
00:11:41.200
That means if you have a dollar today in 10 years, that just from inflation, whatever you
00:11:47.880
have in your bank account, will be worth 34 cents.
00:11:56.000
So they're going to be taking 76 cents out of every dollar.
00:12:11.240
And that is the guaranteed best scenario from Larry Summers.
00:12:21.720
This is why, remember, they don't have, you know how it feels like they can't be this wrong.
00:12:37.440
It's not, they're never wrong in the other direction.
00:12:41.020
We never have a good surprise from the people in Washington, do we?
00:12:44.960
It always seems to be like, wait, what are you doing?
00:12:50.240
And so many people have been led to think maybe they're against what we're for.
00:12:57.840
No, they just see the path out of this radically differently.
00:13:04.320
And they will not tell you because they think you're stupid and you will slow them down.
00:13:18.840
They have their plan and they're moving forward with it.
00:13:22.920
They know that if we made it 10 years and people have 34 cents for every dollar, that kind of inflation, nobody is going to be, they're going to all be voted out quickly.
00:13:47.960
They are working on something called the Great Reset.
00:13:54.240
This is out in the open and we refuse to listen to it.
00:14:02.740
And the only way you can do that is if people are in so much pain, they'll take anyone that will bail them out.
00:14:12.680
So they have to collapse the dollar to make this work.
00:14:18.200
I really, truly believe the acceleration is because we're waking up.
00:14:31.440
Read what the Treasury has on their own website about moving from a paper dollar to a digital dollar.
00:14:39.460
Why do you think all of a sudden they're coming after Bitcoin?
00:14:45.280
Do you really believe it's because people use it for bad things?
00:14:49.120
How many of our dollars have traces of cocaine on it?
00:15:01.820
Unless you are actually trying to collapse it so you can start something new.
00:15:08.480
Remember, they always have a solution to the problems they're creating.
00:15:18.480
And once you start seeing that, you will then start to say, OK, all right, I'm going to be part of a force that fixes that.
00:15:27.700
I'm going to fix that at least in my own household so my back isn't up against the wall.
00:15:39.200
OK, so let's talk about what is happening with freedom of speech, because remember, the thing that they have to have for the Great Reset to work is they have to have cash running through the financial system.
00:15:53.960
It has to be run through the financial system to the government so they can direct where the dollars go.
00:16:01.140
That's one reason why you should be in a savings and loan.
00:16:03.800
The other thing is they have to be able to silence the voices that are telling you things.
00:16:12.160
I believe I truly believe that in a financial collapse, it's going to be very difficult to find me.
00:16:21.780
It is not happenstance and it is not because of any other view that I hold that you can searches.
00:16:44.760
That's why yesterday we put on YouTube on under playlists everything you need to know about the Great Reset.
00:16:57.620
It is shocking, shocking the way this is being held back from people and stifled.
00:17:04.720
So, I don't think those people are going to have a voice to be able to warn you or tell you what's going on when it begins.
00:17:14.480
So, that brings me to Spotify, the White House, Whoopi Goldberg, Joe Rogan.
00:17:30.720
You can say, well, these doctors, you know, they sent, did they?
00:17:41.120
This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program, and we really want to thank you for listening.
00:17:54.880
So, let me give you a couple of stories here and tell you what's really going on.
00:17:59.300
If you look, and luckily, we are in a place and a time now where people know it and they're sick of it.
00:18:12.100
They're sick of being called racist and everything else.
00:18:20.680
That's going to be broken soon, and I think he's going to beat this.
00:18:24.360
Now, there was a journalist that wanted to prove what we all knew.
00:18:40.460
And he looked into the background of all of this.
00:18:43.020
Okay, so what he found, remember, this was a group of medical professionals.
00:18:46.940
This was a group of doctors that have just had it.
00:18:53.080
They're academics and left-wing activists that pose as medical professionals.
00:19:06.540
Well, the vast majority of doctors are not medical doctors.
00:19:20.400
So, they're purveyors of misinformation themselves.
00:19:25.520
So, if you look at the people that were associated with this and who really are running this group,
00:19:34.800
The Rockefeller Foundation, which, by the way, this person was with the COVID-19 tracking project from The Atlantic,
00:19:47.420
which was funded by Mark Zuckerberg and the Rockefeller Foundation and other left-wing institutions.
00:19:56.460
I don't know if there's necessarily all that much nefarious there, but there was...
00:20:30.820
No, because it sounds too much like Latrine, but Kat just sounds like you're an idiot.
00:20:41.060
So, kind of a violation of all journalistic standards and referring to her as Dr. Catherine
00:20:49.660
Wallace, because, you know, I mean, that's like, you know, looking at a TikTok video and
00:21:04.640
She's an adjunct assistant professor in Illinois.
00:21:08.000
She has no background in vaccines or relevant fields related to COVID-19.
00:21:13.100
She also has done a lot of work, which is interesting, with another group.
00:21:25.420
And there's one other person, the fellow campaigner, Abby Richards.
00:21:30.640
She's a misinformation researcher, and she helped organize things.
00:21:35.780
Well, she's actually, when it says a misinformation researcher, she's a consultant with Media Matters.
00:21:45.080
And so, they're doing research on people like me and making sure that they, you know, that
00:21:54.100
She's the one that Media Matters launched the campaign with to cancel Tucker Carlson because
00:22:05.780
I mean, you know, she's not a medical doctor, but she has her master's degree in climate studies.
00:22:14.620
So, this is not a surprise because they are, as we told you, what, two months ago, they are
00:22:29.600
They've gone after Tucker Carlson a lot lately.
00:22:32.380
And they, this is, these organizations exist just to silence voices.
00:22:38.100
As we know, we've been through this a million times.
00:22:40.720
We played for you the ads that they started launching on, on the web where they're like,
00:22:45.580
well, did you know that podcasts are blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:22:49.140
And you, they saying all these bad things about COVID-19 that you're not supposed to hear.
00:22:53.460
And, and they've, this, they've launched a campaign.
00:22:55.960
And so much of this stuff comes from these organizations.
00:23:04.580
And therefore, these organizations start efforts.
00:23:06.760
It's these organizations start efforts and they launch multi-million dollar campaigns
00:23:11.720
and go to all their friends who are journalists and say, hey, we're about to launch a 10 million
00:23:19.780
You should write about it because then it will look like your story.
00:23:22.740
And so they write about it and they act as if it started in the world of journalism when
00:23:32.500
It's not like, uh, you know, uh, Watergate it's, it's these people who are, uh, who are
00:23:40.640
with specific agendas and specifically tied to these events that go to their friend reporters
00:23:50.480
and tip them off so that they can get the credit for these stories later on.
00:23:54.680
And it looks like they've uncovered this big truth when in reality it's been leaked to them
00:24:00.060
by their friends as supported by multi-million dollar donors.
00:24:03.900
This is how this works all the time, all the time.
00:24:07.040
This is almost all the news you hear works that way.
00:24:09.200
And the reason you know this to be true is, uh, how come nobody is up in arms about gas
00:24:18.220
You remember when George Bush, I mean, gas wasn't even like this and it certainly wasn't going
00:24:27.560
No one is talking about gas prices and what is the president doing?
00:24:32.480
If it was doing this under Donald Trump, you bet they would have the border, but the border
00:24:39.760
It's much worse than it was when it was making news 10 months ago.
00:24:43.120
It's much, it's much, it's more, it's worse than anything we've seen before.
00:24:51.080
Because it doesn't fit the agenda of the journalist and all of the journalist friends who work
00:25:02.900
Now, when it comes to Whoopi Goldberg, I can't tell you what's happening.
00:25:07.740
The chief executive of the anti-defamation league, um, was really upset at Whoopi Goldberg for
00:25:23.820
Let's be truthful about what the Holocaust, uh, it's not about race.
00:26:04.000
The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley.
00:26:13.740
It's, it's, I mean, that could be part of the conversation, but this was about a people,
00:26:19.960
a group of people who thought they were superior to other people and they divided them by race.
00:26:25.520
Uh, I mean, you know, one drop of Jewish blood is too Jewish.
00:26:31.680
I mean, did you forget about this and the final solution that they're vermin because they're Jews?
00:26:39.180
I mean, I think that pretty much sounds like race, but I don't understand how the master race.
00:26:50.220
I, I try, I'm trying to understand how the anti-defamation league is upset about this because doesn't that violate their, uh, their own definition, their new definition of race.
00:27:07.120
I mean, the ADL used to have one that said, look, it's when one group of people think they're superior over another and, uh, think they're more intelligent than the other, yada, yada, yada.
00:27:19.420
And yeah, they, they take it out on different races.
00:27:22.980
Their new definition makes Whoopi's analysis accurate.
00:27:25.680
It does because it's, it can, racism can only happen by white people to people of color, according to the ADL's own brand new definition.
00:27:37.980
What Whoopi is saying is right with the new thinking about race.
00:27:52.660
This is their new definition as changed from the old school Martin Luther King definition, definition, racism, the marginalization and or oppression of people of color based on socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.
00:28:08.640
Only white people can be racist, but they can't be racist against other white people.
00:28:17.160
I mean, now maybe it's because she said it's, it's about man's inhumanity to man.
00:28:23.220
And so she wasn't specifically saying it was white people's inhumanity.
00:28:28.740
But if, if her analysis is it's not racism because it is, does not target people of color.
00:28:36.900
That is consistent with the ADL's own definition of racism.
00:28:40.160
If she, if, if you go by what the ADL says is racist, then of course the Holocaust had no racist vibes to it at all.
00:28:50.880
If he was not oppressing people of color, he was replacing another race.
00:28:56.940
Well, he said, he said, he did also do it to people of color.
00:29:02.000
Uh, it's not, it's not their very existence founded is this is from Mein Kampf is not their very existence founded on one great lie, namely that they are a religious community.
00:29:20.100
I mean, this is so, I think anybody who knows this stuff knows this.
00:29:23.780
It's very, very obvious, but this is a new, I'll bet you, this is a new point of view for whoopie.
00:29:30.200
I think whoopie is into this new kind of thinking and the ADL might be parroting that thinking on their website, but I, I highly doubt that what's his name?
00:29:42.400
Goldblad or whatever, who is in, I mean, I've seen it firsthand, completely inconsistent on everything.
00:29:49.960
It seems, uh, I doubt he's actually up on the new kind of racism that his organization is now pushing.
00:29:59.740
He's heading the organization and they changed the definition.
00:30:02.280
Isn't it more possible that whoopie is just an idiot?
00:30:08.280
I want to make sure I understand that because I mean, she, to me, it's likely that she's applying her understanding of race, which is formed around whatever she just read on Twitter.
00:30:20.680
In 2022, which is basically like, oh, well, white people are mean to black people.
00:30:29.680
This is what she, that's what, I mean, she, so she sees, well, I, that person looks white.
00:30:39.700
Uh, uh, she said, these, these are two white groups of people.
00:30:44.820
The minute you turn it into race, it goes down this alley.
00:30:53.600
No, it's one that saw differences and claimed that these Jewish people, it is a race, which it is a race.
00:31:03.640
Um, that that's a race and that race is subhuman.
00:31:11.960
And it was, uh, the Aryans were the master race and everything else was inferior.
00:31:18.680
I mean, it was obviously he targeted Jews, uh, beyond the level of anyone's comprehension, but it was not the only group he targeted.
00:31:27.780
And now let me also, let me just end it with this.
00:31:30.980
Anybody who is crying for her to be, uh, taken off the air, stop it.
00:31:45.560
They've got like 40 people that are watching that are under 88 years old.
00:31:51.240
Um, you know, fire her because of the ratings, but you'd have to fire all of them because of that.
00:31:58.040
I stand with Whoopi Goldberg being able to keep her job and not be fired because of an opinion.
00:32:06.940
And can we at least acknowledge the fact that I was watching these clips yesterday.
00:32:13.860
This is a 25 year show that is nothing but a collection of the dumbest people you've ever
00:32:20.120
met talking about things they've never thought of before.
00:32:23.380
That is, I mean, think of just the magic that has to occur to put these dumb people on the
00:32:29.120
air to talk that stupidly about the news every day.
00:32:53.900
So let's just, let's just talk a little bit about China and what's happening in China.
00:33:09.260
Not sure it ever has been, but it's the new model for the whole world.
00:33:17.660
And, you know, everybody has sold out to America.
00:33:22.720
Everybody's selling out, including an Olympic athlete.
00:33:26.540
When I read a headline of a story, I thought this San Francisco born athlete was saying,
00:33:35.440
I'm not going with the team to the Olympics because she's not.
00:33:42.780
She's an American who is going to now ski for the Chinese.
00:33:49.700
Now, I can't talk about her, but I can talk to an expert who has spent, what, a year and a half looking into this year and a half of full time research with several people to author the new book, Red Handed.
00:34:08.560
He's the president of Government Accountability Institute.
00:34:13.980
How American Elites Get Rich, Helping China to Win.
00:34:18.980
Peter, you have written a lot of books, and a lot of it has been about you've actually had laws changed because of what you have uncovered in corruption in Washington.
00:34:34.020
You have told me this is the most frightening book that you have done research for.
00:34:40.460
Yeah, it is because of the breadth and the depth of it.
00:34:44.700
You know, I've looked at insider trading on the stock market.
00:34:47.720
I've looked at the Clintons, and those are really troubling cases that, to a certain extent, you could argue were somewhat isolated.
00:34:56.480
When you're talking about China forging commercial ties with the American political class to co-opt them, you're talking about the president of the United States.
00:35:06.060
You're also talking about leaders in the House and the Senate.
00:35:08.060
When you go to Silicon Valley, it's all the big names in Silicon Valley.
00:35:15.120
You go to Wall Street, it's all the big Wall Street financial firms.
00:35:23.060
It's almost an entire class of people, Glenn, that are currying favor with Beijing and, I would argue, doing their bidding in very important and significant ways.
00:35:33.840
Tonight, Peter and I are going to the chalkboard, and we're going to lay it all out for you, especially the Biden connection.
00:35:39.800
Joe Biden has literally sold, well, not his soul, but our souls.
00:35:46.300
He has sold America for cash to the Chinese, and it's clear, it's clearly illegal, and it's provable.
00:35:59.880
When you and I are, we were just talking earlier, we grew up in the same area, around the same area.
00:36:07.440
Could you imagine if the Carter family or the Reagan family had done deals with Russian businessmen who had links to the KGB?
00:36:29.520
That's precisely what you have with the Bidens, and I'm looking forward to tonight mapping this out, but we found $31 million.
00:36:37.840
This all comes from Chinese corporate records and documents and from Hong Kong and from legal documents in the United States, so it's not just a number drawn up.
00:36:46.120
$31 million that the Biden families received from businessmen.
00:36:50.820
Every single one of those businessmen, you can trace to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence.
00:36:59.420
Now, is that like, you know, I got the money from Bob, and Bob has a neighbor whose cousin once was at a garage sale of a guy who's up in the Chinese Intel?
00:37:14.100
One of the deals Hunter got, you and I have talked about it before, was BHR, this private equity deal.
00:37:22.860
He got ownership of this financial management firm.
00:37:25.620
He had no background in finance, didn't bring anything to the table.
00:37:30.480
This is something that no Goldman Sachs didn't even have.
00:37:40.400
Or as my kids would say, who made it rain for Hunter in China?
00:37:46.520
One is a guy named Che Feng, kind of a mysterious businessman.
00:37:50.160
Hunter, in the emails, calls him the super chairman.
00:37:53.220
And at one point, he says, I don't believe in the lottery anymore, but I believe in the super chairman.
00:38:00.380
So, as Che Feng is arranging this deal for Hunter Biden, who is Che Feng's business partner?
00:38:08.280
It's the vice minister of state security for China.
00:38:19.260
You have Russian businesses, if we go back to the Reagan thing.
00:38:24.920
That the co-chair or the partner is the head of the KGB.
00:38:34.780
And so, this guy, Ma Jian, who's the vice minister of state security, his job is foreign
00:38:44.220
This is the guy who's business partners with the man who sets up Hunter Biden in the private
00:38:49.940
The other man that plays a central role in that deal and who separately transfers $5 million
00:38:56.380
to another Hunter business called Burnham is a guy named Mr. Zhao.
00:39:01.560
So, Mr. Zhao, again, makes it rain for Hunter, who is Zhao's business partner.
00:39:08.260
His business partner is the family of the former minister of state security, the guy who runs
00:39:16.380
So, you know, when I say the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, I'm not talking about
00:39:25.080
And the problem is, Glenn, every single deal that we know of that Hunter got in China has
00:39:31.760
a link to individuals who are juiced in at the highest levels of Chinese intelligence.
00:39:38.420
What are you thinking they're getting in return?
00:39:41.980
What I know is Chinese intelligence does not run a philanthropy.
00:39:48.160
They're not looking for to be a drug rehab program for Hunter Biden.
00:39:54.660
I'm like, you know, he's really screwed up his life.
00:39:57.600
Let's give him a 20, you know, a 20 billion or million, a million, million dollar business.
00:40:06.320
They want to compromise this political family as they do with with other families.
00:40:11.180
But the Biden one is particularly troubling because the concentration of all these intelligence
00:40:16.240
sources and the fact that Hunter does something really weird.
00:40:25.700
This one in the context of who he is doing business with in China is really shocking.
00:40:31.820
In the summer of 2014, Hunter Biden goes to the Secret Service and the Secret Service
00:40:40.340
He goes to the Secret Service and says, I don't want you guys traveling with me when I go overseas.
00:40:45.440
Now, you know, the Secret Service is going to resist that and say we need to do this.
00:40:51.780
But Hunter Biden insisted and they stopped traveling with him.
00:40:58.560
If someone kidnaps the vice president's son, yeah, we're going to have to rescue him.
00:41:06.120
And the biggest threats you're going to face are going to be overseas and not to mention
00:41:12.460
So clearly, Hunter did not want to want the Secret Service or federal law enforcement to
00:41:20.320
I think it's also tied to the fact that he knew he was doing deals with people that were
00:41:26.720
Now, the reason why this isn't going to happen is because everybody's doing it.
00:41:40.140
There are Republicans that that that bring up the Biden thing is they should.
00:41:44.360
To me, that is the biggest issue because he's the commander in chief president of the
00:41:48.660
But you've got people in the Republican side of the aisle, Mitch McConnell and his family.
00:41:52.800
What a surprise who who are, let's just say, leveraged to Beijing.
00:41:59.840
Well, so Mitch McConnell is married to Elaine Chao, the transportation secretary of the
00:42:04.340
Her family has a shipping company called Foremost.
00:42:07.380
When they got married back in the early 1990s, Mitch McConnell is a U.S.
00:42:12.520
senator traveled with his father in law, James Chao, to Beijing to meet with top government
00:42:21.520
There was no political figures going to China at all.
00:42:26.000
And basically what comes out of that deal is an agreement that China is going to help the
00:42:32.320
And so it goes from being a small company with a couple of ships to today, it's a massively
00:42:42.240
And so what does China do for Mitch McConnell's family?
00:42:46.660
They build all the ships, the massive super bulkers that travel.
00:42:52.940
The financing of the construction of these ships, you know, one ship can be $100 million.
00:43:05.860
Is there any way to do business in China without communists?
00:43:10.260
Maybe if I buy a bag of potato chips from Beijing.
00:43:14.740
This is Bank of China, which is the Chinese government.
00:43:19.480
I would like to point out, I think Bank of America is directly connected to the U.S.
00:43:29.660
You've got them being financed by state controlled banks.
00:43:32.360
The crews are all Chinese provided by the Chinese government.
00:43:36.360
And most of their contracts are shipping state owned enterprise goods around Asia.
00:43:43.220
So when I mean leverage, the Chinese government, if Mitch McConnell were to do something they
00:43:48.400
did not like, could literally destroy the family business overnight.
00:43:56.660
If we can capture foreign elites, make them sort of bend to our will, then we are effectively
00:44:07.040
Tonight, we're going to outline all of this from the White House to Wall Street to the
00:44:14.620
We are going to put a chalkboard together and Peter is going to be there.
00:44:20.520
So, you know, this is this is why we are this is why we're not serious about China.
00:44:27.300
This I mean, when Donald Trump, you know, he's got a deal and maybe he's going to build
00:44:46.080
There's no maybe the 30 million dollars has already arrived to their bank accounts.
00:45:00.500
The question is, have we already been sold out to China so far?
00:45:11.940
So in the book, you talk that you say that there are 20 former U.S.
00:45:16.440
senators or members of Congress that went to work for the Chinese intelligence military.
00:45:22.700
Yeah, they lobby on behalf of Chinese intelligence or military related companies.
00:45:28.580
So these are the companies that develop the software to spy on the Uyghurs.
00:45:33.720
These are companies that are involved in developing military related technologies.
00:45:38.220
These are companies like Huawei, which, you know, both the Obama and Trump administration
00:45:43.260
said is a proxy for the military and their technology is used by the Chinese intelligence
00:45:52.460
These are former senior Republicans and Democrats from the Senate and House who are getting paid
00:45:58.040
large sums of money, in some cases, a million dollars a year to lobby on behalf of these
00:46:04.920
And these companies, you followed the thing on the 5G.
00:46:20.020
Gave them, I think, double what they were asking for in bandwidth.
00:46:25.520
And then suddenly, as it's getting ready to roll out, they say, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:46:30.140
And I talked to the FCC commissioner and I said, I think this is I think this is the
00:46:34.680
Biden administration and others saying, no, stall that because it only helps Huawei and
00:46:43.260
If we can't roll it out across Europe, well, they're going to go with China.
00:46:56.400
You know, the future in technology is artificial intelligence.
00:47:00.560
And what experts will tell you is what matters in artificial intelligence is a data.
00:47:09.580
Part of it is because they have so many people.
00:47:11.720
Part of it is they have this intrusive state so they can collect data on whatever they want.
00:47:16.220
Part of it is they collect data on Americans through tick tock and through these other, you
00:47:23.420
Because I'm going to play this to my kids because my kids roll their eyes when I'm like, it's
00:47:36.820
No, I mean, tick tock is a Chinese owned controlled company and tick tock censors.
00:47:42.620
I mean, there are people that have put up sort of anti CCP statements about human rights
00:47:50.040
They shut them down and they allow other political content.
00:47:52.740
So, you know, the thing people have to understand is that if you are a major player in China,
00:47:58.780
meaning a major company, you are fused to the state completely and entirely because that
00:48:09.800
Over the last 10 years with Xi, he is moving in a direction where they are fused together.
00:48:14.300
And what he has said, Glenn, repeatedly, I mean, it's not, you don't have to try to figure
00:48:20.320
What he said repeatedly and bluntly is that the technological race with the United States
00:48:31.760
And the, to achieve the commanding heights in his words, in this war, he wants to win
00:48:40.340
So what's, so what's happening, Glenn, what's happening is Google.
00:48:44.300
And Microsoft, I talk about this detail in the book, are financially supporting and providing
00:48:50.860
technical support to research labs in China that are known to be entirely fused with the
00:48:58.060
So you have two of America's most powerful technological companies aiding and abetting
00:49:05.840
Microsoft, Microsoft, maybe you need to think about this here, Glenn.
00:49:10.240
Microsoft accepts interns from the People's Liberation Army.
00:49:16.120
You know, the notion that they would wander around, it's just unbelievable.
00:49:23.220
They don't feel that they are, you know, particularly American.
