Former Vice President Joe Biden has a new book, and it's a parody of a commercial that was made for him to promote it. Glenn Beck and Peter Schweizer talk about the commercial and Biden's new book. They also talk about China interfering in our election, and how we can't save our democracy unless we democratize the economy.
00:10:25.220for the Save America Act but the president
00:10:27.320didn't specify how. Republicans have repeatedly tried to jam the Save America Act down,
00:10:32.160jam it down. They try to jam it down the throat. 80% popularity, but they're trying to jam it down
00:10:38.080the throat. Perhaps what Lindsey Graham was talking to the president about, I don't know0.99
00:10:43.400this for a fact, said Thune, was whether or not there was an option for reconciliation.
00:10:48.980And there is a way in which I think you could do that, Thune said. Wow. You mean the thing
00:10:56.640that we've been talking about for months now you're saying suddenly there's a possibility
00:11:04.880that that could happen what are the vegas odds on thune actually doing this seriously
00:11:12.460what are the odds what are the odds thune stress the republicans don't even have close to the
00:11:19.420number of votes needed to nuke the filibuster which requires a 60 vote threshold to overcome
00:11:24.740No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. George Washington was very clear on this. Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, all very clear. There's one vote required and it takes you to 50. You need 50 votes. And unless it is something like a veto that you have to overturn, then you need a super majority.
00:11:51.060There is no supermajority to pass votes.
00:12:09.840That means you get your ass up off the seat and you actually talk until you can't talk anymore.0.83
00:12:17.440And it was made to buy time so you could get the American people to wake up and go, wait a minute, wait a minute, they're trying to hijack our democracy.0.65
00:12:28.100And you tried to talk and talk and talk until people started to change their minds and call their call their, you know, Senate or their Congress member and say, hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
00:12:40.260I'm actually for the guy who's talking all the time.
00:14:33.240How do you get it done? And I think that's what's happening tonight at nine.
00:14:37.480I think this has a lot to do with the Save America Act, because the president's going to talk to us tonight about voting irregularities as they come with foreign entanglements.
00:14:54.220Now, I just don't think there's a way he's going to mention China.
00:14:58.380I mean, he'll mention, I think he'll mention Singham, who is connected to China.
00:15:04.360But I just, I don't think he is going to take China on and say China was interfering with, if he does, God bless him.0.66
00:15:13.660But that's a big rock to push uphill, is coming after China, especially with all the other, you know, rocks that we're juggling right now.
00:15:24.520But he says this is the most important speech that he has given as president
00:15:28.540and one that every American needs to hear1.00
00:15:31.100because our elections are unsafe due to foreign players.1.00
00:15:36.260And he's apparently coming with the evidence because it's not just him.1.00
00:15:39.580Who else is with him that is going to back this up?
00:15:44.320Lots of cabinet officials, members of the CIA.
00:16:59.760I think that there was more speculation that he was going to go even further
00:17:03.980and say that the CIA held information back
00:17:06.580when they got evidence that this was happening,
00:17:09.560which again would be another you know huge condemnation on our side as well um but i i
00:17:16.020it would be very very interesting if he not only talked about that but also traced money trails
00:17:22.640so you mentioned like neville roy singham uh you know in china specifically different groups within
00:17:28.520the united states that they uh you know maybe some of their funding has has filtered down to
00:17:34.040some of them are they are these some of the same groups that are the usual suspects that we see
00:17:38.360you know rapidly instantly mobilizing every single time something happens with ice or whatever
00:17:44.260um that's the kind of stuff that i would see that i would like to hear maybe i'm hoping for too much
00:17:49.620but wow if that happens i mean the one thing the president is he's a showman he knows how to gather
00:17:55.620an audience and he knows how to put on a show so we will see tonight it should be uh it's highly
00:18:01.400anticipated this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for
00:18:05.680listening peter swizer uh host of the drill down also the author of the invisible coup and the
00:18:14.120president of government accountability institute hi peter how are you hey i'm good glenn great to
00:18:19.700be with you as always thanks for having me yeah thank you so what do you think the president's
00:18:23.840going to say tonight uh i think he's going to focus on several aspects of foreign interference
00:18:29.480I think China is going to be a central player in that, and I base that on, you know, where the information chain has been going with regards to some of the documents that have been declassified.
00:18:44.600And I would say front and center in this, in terms of driving this, has been John Solomon, you know, friend of mine, friend of yours, who has had a lot of documents declassified.
00:18:55.440And there are two sort of shocking things that he brought out as a journalist.
00:19:00.680He's now working temporarily as a so-called SGE, special government employee with the White House, to help in the declassification process.
00:19:10.560But two things, Glenn, that he has already exposed.
00:19:13.640Number one, the fact that we know that now in the 2020 election, China was hacking voter databases in multiple states and that the CIA knew about this.
00:19:28.640And according to John's reporting, which is, again, based on documents, the CIA did not want to emphasize it or publicize it because they thought it would help Trump in that 2020 election.
00:19:40.000Oh, my God. What becomes. Yeah. What really becomes frightening is when you merge that with the second big explosion he has. So you have China hacking into voter databases in multiple states. Then also in 2020, what did we have reported? The FBI got a tip that China was looking for ways to exploit the mail in election balloting system.
00:20:03.680And one of the ways in which they were potentially going to do that was through fake IDs.
00:20:09.780And lo and behold, there was a lot of reporting, official government reports, customs, border patrol, et cetera, that just at Chicago O'Hare alone, there were 1,500 shipments involving more than 20,000 counterfeit driver's licenses.
00:20:24.960So, Glenn, if you look at their ability to hack into voter databases and you look at what appears to be a systematic effort to generate large volumes of fake IDs, you merge those capabilities together.
00:20:39.740You have the potential for really affecting elections.
00:21:04.180And, of course, China vehemently denies that they are involved in our eternal affairs at all, which is, of course, a joke.0.72
00:21:11.860Everything from fentanyl to some of the political disruptions in our country China's involved in.
00:21:17.840And what I would say is, you know, Trump is, as you put it quite well, there's a lot he's juggling right now.
00:21:24.480But what I will tell you is this. Agree or disagree with him on, you know, the 2020 election.
00:21:31.940This has been a passionate topic for him, election integrity and, you know, with the SAVE Act and everything else going on.
00:21:40.520So I think if he is going to risk the wrath of China, which he has done in the past, it's probably going to be on an issue like this that he's very, very passionate about.
00:21:51.540And I think the most important thing here, Glenn, is that we're actually now going to start having this conversation that you and I have been having for a while on a nationwide basis.
00:22:02.480The fact that China is engaged in a lot of aggressive actions within our country, the Biden administration wanted to bury that.
00:22:11.520The Trump administration is willing to talk about it openly, which I think is good.
00:22:16.760So the other thing, you know, if number one, China hacking our voter database and the CIA covering it up, remarkable.0.56
00:22:24.960Two, FBI tip, exploiting the mail, the mail-in ballots and sending in fake IDs.0.56
00:22:31.520um how do you get around the fake id thing if you're talking about you need id for the save
00:22:38.820act what where does that put the save act and what has to be done to stop that well uh look i think
00:22:47.080the save act act is absolutely necessary but as it is with so many things there's no silver bullet
00:22:53.860you know the the problem is that our adversaries are very smart they shift around they they shift
00:22:59.520the terrain, and they exploit things that are, you know, even ostensibly legal. So, you know,
00:23:05.840one of the things that, Glenn, you and I talked about earlier this year is how China has exploited
00:23:12.140our EB-5 immigration program, which, you know, you invest in the country, you get permanent
00:23:17.780resident status. 90% of the people doing this are Chinese. They don't even actually live in
00:23:23.140the United States. They're supposed to. But what that allows them to do is legally donate to0.99
00:23:28.460American political campaigns. So they're donating. There's tens of millions of dollars
00:23:33.400that we've been able to calculate. It's probably much higher of money that's literally flowing
00:23:38.920legally from Chinese nationals living in China to our political elections. You know, you can
00:23:45.780take various actions to restrict that. They're going to try to find other ways. It's like water
00:23:51.140going downhill. It's going to figure out a way around the barriers. So we cannot assume the
00:23:56.300SAVE Act's going to fix everything, but we absolutely have to plug these holes.
00:24:01.960And the issue with fake IDs is a real one.
00:24:05.040And one of the things that should be pointed out is, you know, China does not go after,
00:24:10.620when these rings are exposed that are producing these fake IDs,
00:24:14.700China does not go after and prosecute these people.
00:24:17.960They allow them to continue to operate, which indicates that this is effectively,
00:24:22.360I would argue, state supported by the CCP.
00:30:18.000I am a guy who is struggling every day trying to figure out how to teach my kids
00:30:24.260how to be stronger in defending and understanding our republic.
00:30:32.900And my kids come home to me and they talk about Marxism.
00:30:36.620They talk to me about how many communists and Marxists there are.0.64
00:30:41.040And they talk to me about how they are struggling, you know, defending Jews.
00:30:48.000And they're like, dad, it's getting really bad. It's getting really, really bad. And so this summer I am taking my kids. I'm taking, I can't remember the last time I took two weeks off, but I'm taking two weeks off and I am taking my kids on a history tour and I'm going to teach them a few things.
00:31:07.180and I want them to see things firsthand, um, and try to put my kids feet in concrete and,
00:31:15.740you know, whatever I learn, I'll share with you. So you can maybe, cause I know we're struggling
00:31:20.220with the same stuff. Um, so I don't mean to come off egotistical when I say, I try to teach this
00:31:26.520to you every day. I'm a dad struggling just like you. Um, and so I really think that when we talk
00:31:35.180to people when we're older, there's a couple of things I know that are true.
00:31:39.160One, if you don't teach your kids about the bad
00:31:43.160things of America, and I mean really go into it
00:31:46.580and tell them about all of the horrible things that our country
00:31:50.960has done in the past, if you're not clear on slavery,
00:31:54.720the medical experiments that we did on black people, all of that stuff,
00:31:59.680if you don't tell them the bad stuff,0.92
00:32:02.760When they hear it, they're going to think you didn't know or worse, you lied to them.
00:33:59.640But if we are going to make this case to our kids, we're going to make this case to help them make the case in what they're fighting.
00:34:08.900The minute you say, well, you're just a communist, some people are.
00:34:14.520But I think, as I told you yesterday, the vast majority of people who are now saying they're socialists have no idea really what socialism means.
00:34:25.400They certainly don't know what communism means.
00:34:28.700I told you that the Socialist Democrats of America, DSA, they're the ones who are doing most of the organizing and the wins for the socialist candidates all over.
00:34:47.640I told you the other day, their own polling, internal polling from them, not from me, from them, shows 50, like 51% of their board are communists.
00:35:01.780But communism doesn't mean anything to the younger generation, and it's easy to dismiss and have people roll their eyes.
00:35:09.020So we have to find other ways to attack. But I want you to know that what Gavin Newsom was talking about is the definition of communism. I just want to quote him.
00:35:22.000Quote, rather than being made unilaterally by private actors, important decisions about production are the results of broad deliberation processes among workers and potentially other constituencies.
00:35:39.520All models of economic democracy, as conceived, appear to be incompatible with capitalism.
00:36:50.320You hire, you vote for somebody to go to Congress and represent you.
00:36:57.240And then those people are the ones that control the market in your name because they were democratically elected.
00:37:04.900It doesn't mean we're all going to get together and go, yeah, okay, you know what, John, you know what, you're on our side, you're not going to pay any taxes.
00:37:14.860And what are we going to do about the factory that we're all working in right now?
00:37:20.700You might organize into a union, which communists love, but what they're saying is you'll be represented in Washington,
00:37:30.400and they will make the decisions, not the owners of the capital
00:37:35.780or the anonymous forces of the market.
00:37:39.360What is the anonymous force of the market?
00:38:41.860They're trying to, but generally speaking, nobody's controlling the Internet.
00:38:46.540What the Internet, when it's at its very best, it's completely free.
00:38:50.600And whatever people are talking about on the Internet, that kind of bubbles up and it becomes a trend.
00:38:56.340when the government comes in and says we can't let the invisible hand of the market we've got
00:39:02.400to tell you you know hey well you know what needs to be trending the black box everybody's got to
00:39:08.300put a black box on and they fake that and they put that up at the top that's not real and that's
00:39:13.940why eventually it all falls apart you need to have what's real bubbling up from the from the
00:39:19.580average person bubbling up and you watch that's how you know you know what we have a grain shortage
00:39:26.200over here we need more paper towels over here whatever it's by watching that invisible hand
00:39:32.240what people are doing and seeing that's how you get a better bikini and you get a better car
00:39:40.020because people vote with their wallets one by one as individuals and then that all bubbles up
00:39:46.760that's the invisible hand of the market what Gavin Newsom is talking about now is getting rid of the
00:39:54.200You and what you spend and how you spend it and what you like and what you don't like based on what you're engaging with and saying that you voting for your representative in Washington, they'll be better at deciding what the economy should do than all of us in our individual lives every day.
00:42:05.720If you think this is corrupt now, think about taking and saying, we're going to elect, because people will not change.
00:42:15.220And in fact, it'll get worse with power when the government, because if the government abolishes, let's say, this is their latest idea yesterday, part of the Democratic Socialists of America's platform is get rid of the Senate.
00:42:29.060Get rid of the president and get rid of the Senate.
