00:00:00.000
Yeah, we have the Betsy Ross flag Nikes that were on the shelf for, what, how long?
00:00:25.480
I'd auction off a heartbeat to buy something of real significance.
00:00:32.880
You know, people trying to collect things of people who try to destroy America.
00:00:39.920
Colin Kaepernick comes in and says, that's a racist shoe.
00:00:49.020
We get into this a little bit on the show today with Heritage Auctions.
00:00:52.160
You're doing a show from this auction house that has, like, the craziest stuff from history that they auction off all the time.
00:01:00.340
I remember Neiman Marcus, but I don't think that was the magazine.
00:01:05.100
Once in a while, at Christmas time, there would be a magazine that would have crazy things in it.
00:01:14.080
And you'd read them as a kid and you'd be like, oh, it'd be so cool to have your own submarine.
00:01:18.620
You know, and they were, like, crazy expensive.
00:01:43.300
Not a commode, but a chamber pot from the SS Titanic.
00:01:50.560
And also, we're doing a TV show on it in the next couple of weeks.
00:01:54.320
And I'll take you to the auction house and show you these crazy, crazy items.
00:02:00.300
There's a lot of meat on the table, including something that is a do-not-miss.
00:02:04.280
Something that happened to me about, what, 12, 14 years ago that I've never talked about.
00:02:13.800
And it's a, it has been a closely held secret just between, like, Pat and Stu and myself for about 12 years.
00:02:32.180
Also, Stu Does America returns today with a brand new program.
00:02:52.860
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:03:04.960
Give me, give me 30 minutes, if you will, today.
00:03:11.280
And then I want to take you back to about 2009.
00:03:18.660
He's probably one of four or five people that know about a dream that I had, um, years ago.
00:03:25.960
And I've been thinking about it since yesterday's program, and I feel I need to share it with you, or at least a portion of it.
00:03:38.740
I'm going to show you the news of the day and why I think it's important that you, um, hear about the experience that I had.
00:03:49.820
Um, most people don't know anything about Balenciaga.
00:04:02.860
It's really expensive couture kind of clothing, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:10.640
Um, and it has had real sway apparently for a very long time.
00:04:17.340
They, uh, well, let me welcome back Stu from vacation.
00:04:27.800
Think of me as a person who went on Thanksgiving break and tried to stay away from grooming stories while I was on that break.
00:04:40.300
And also in additional, uh, in addition to this, have never heard of Balenciaga.
00:04:47.140
I can't pronounce it, but I don't know what it is.
00:04:49.340
I've never heard of it until, you know, this weekend.
00:04:53.900
The only thing that I would say I know about it is, didn't they take some pictures of like kids with teddy bears and the bears were like bondage bears or something?
00:05:07.560
So there's a lot more to this story as it goes on.
00:05:11.400
Uh, the bondage bears and the picture with the panic face children surrounded by empty wine glasses, uh, is what we all kind of saw.
00:05:23.880
And the picture, uh, features a dazed looking boy in a cluttered room among all the club clutter.
00:05:32.360
There is some disturbing things that have been found for one.
00:05:36.580
The boy is wearing red shoes that has symbolized royalty and unstoppable power, like the red heels of King Louis the 14th.
00:05:45.960
Now, this is a weird connection to Tony Podesta in the pedophilia, uh, paintings owned by Tony Podesta.
00:05:58.640
Now, the boy to the boy's left is a drawing of a rainbow to his right is a drawing of earth with a crow looking down over it.
00:06:08.880
And on the ground, there is a roll of ticker tape with balance Balenciaga spelled, not the normal way, but spelled capital B, capital A, capital L, cap, uh, sorry, capital B, capital A, capital A, capital L, Ian Saga.
00:06:35.220
What is the God of, uh, uh, I mean, we've talked about it a million times.
00:06:51.000
It is the ancient, uh, uh, God in the Bible, Moloch or ball B A A L.
00:07:05.660
You'll find in, in Jeremiah, Jeremiah 19 ball is identified as Moloch and a crude drawing shows a horned animal that resembles ball.
00:07:21.380
Now, this is no accident for a couple of reasons.
00:07:25.680
The company had to have a full body dress made only of ticker tape with the word Balenciaga on it, but it was spelled correctly.
00:07:46.120
Now, if one of those things would have appeared on their own, it would be one thing, but putting these things together and then seeing the people behind it.
00:07:57.360
Now, so you know, the company has blamed this on the photographer and we'll get into that in a second.
00:08:05.640
Then they went out and they said, well, it's the advertised.
00:08:08.520
We didn't even see any of these pictures before they went out.
00:08:19.900
He was described, um, uh, as a documentary photographer whose projects often make expensive portraits of everyday, uh, eccentric, eccentric.
00:08:44.340
You should be over here because I'm already in the hall of fame.
00:08:50.760
A press release from the company said the gift shop campaign iterates, uh, on the artist series, toy stories, which features a series of photographs from around the world of children surrounded by their favorite toy.
00:09:05.660
In a statement, the photographer said as a photographer, I was only and solely requested to light the given scene, take the shots.
00:09:15.460
According to my signature style, as usual for commercial shooting, the direction of the campaign and the choice of the objects displayed are not in the hands of the photographer.
00:09:53.900
There's a, it's a fluid situation here as we can.
00:09:58.260
Um, but he designed the gimp outfit that Kim Kardashian wore.
00:10:05.500
Where she was covered all in black rubber or whatever the hell it is.
00:10:17.740
Remember, this is the company, one of the companies that just fired Kanye, but they are
00:10:25.800
Um, now if you go back into some of their old photo shoots, there is a pattern here.
00:10:36.680
And they released a collaboration with Adidas, which they called the spring 23 campaign.
00:10:42.380
Um, the, um, the pieces are the pieces that were on the spring 23 presentation, uh, on their
00:10:50.980
Um, and the collection was shot by a completely different photographer.
00:10:54.920
And that is important because the imagery isn't a coincidence or a decision made by the first
00:11:04.740
And the setting was a swanky high rise in Manhattan.
00:11:08.440
And Nicole Kidman is in the ads in the photo for a $3,100 hourglass handbag.
00:11:17.580
Uh, there's a printed copy of the 2008 United States versus Williams decision on child pornography
00:11:24.420
laws, uh, and whether, uh, promotion of child pornography curtailed first amendment freedom of
00:11:32.340
So there's the handbag and there's the Supreme court ruling.
00:11:38.180
But I'm sure it's just a coincidence and the photographer's fault.
00:11:42.460
Um, newsweek says the extract, the extract is part of analysis with respect to the United
00:11:49.140
States versus Williams presented in the late, uh, uh, presented by the late justice Antonin
00:11:54.140
Scalia from May, 2008, which details the grounds for material to be defined as child pornography.
00:12:02.760
In another photo, a man in a terrible outfit stands in this swanky office with a postcard
00:12:11.720
Behind him also is a diploma with the name of John Philip Fisher.
00:12:21.040
Um, but speculation is who is John Philip, uh, Fisher.
00:12:33.500
In a, in a, in a, uh, another advertisement photo, hourglass, small crock embossed top
00:12:45.120
It's hard to tell what's on all the paper, but in the background, you see a stack of books.
00:12:53.500
It's about an artist, uh, whose work has been linked to pedophilia, cannibalism, and blood
00:13:01.080
A description posted on Amazon says that his artwork features children who are presented
00:13:06.000
alone or in groups against a studio like backdrop that negates time and space while underlining
00:13:12.340
the theatrical atmosphere and artifice that exists throughout his recent work.
00:13:19.460
So he is trying to recreate, I guess, the cherubs of the Renaissance.
00:13:28.620
They're not really children and they contrast their, their, um, innocence with the evils of
00:14:00.080
It's all been made private, but you know, through the way back machine, you can, you know, the
00:14:06.560
On her Instagram page, she has, uh, I mean, when I say tons, I mean, uh, a disturbing amount
00:14:21.780
One image shows a woman, uh, lying on a pentagram, uh, as a satanic figure looms over her.
00:14:28.820
Another shows a woman dead on her side in a field with her stomach ripped open and entrails
00:14:37.460
Third photo is a vintage style men's bedroom, but covered in blood and bullets and broken
00:14:43.060
And the fourth image, uh, was a child holding up a skull with a frame and the star sign symbols,
00:14:56.200
Now she is the chief designer for this, uh, company also on her Instagram account.
00:15:03.620
There's an image of her wearing a t-shirt from her favorite band, cannibal corpse, and
00:15:11.160
Now remember the woman laying with her entrails out in a completely different, uh, in a completely
00:15:19.320
different, uh, picture cannibal corpse, one, uh, of their songs, uh, the lyrics entrails
00:15:30.940
Virgin tied to my mattress, legs spread wide, ruptured bowel, yanked from her inside, de-virginized
00:15:46.460
Also an image of a little girl bound and gagged.
00:15:49.620
Uh, this is the woman who is like the leader of all of the design for this particular, um, uh,
00:16:02.920
She also works with Adidas, which launched a sneaker line designed by her.
00:16:21.740
Now, Kim Kardashian said she's reevaluating her relationship.
00:16:36.580
Well, she, she reached out to the company and they said, oh, darn that.
00:16:52.500
Um, somebody else that is involved, um, would be the, uh,
00:17:00.800
would be the daughter, uh, let's see the, the stepdaughter, I think of Kamala Harris.
00:17:10.780
She's androgynous, uh, has, um, you know, just, uh, well, a lot wouldn't say the look of a model.
00:17:18.920
Um, but the guy who was really there for Kamala when she was running for president gave the max to
00:17:28.000
her campaign happens to run this, um, this modeling agency.
00:17:34.880
And after Kamala won as vice president, her daughter reaches out and says, Hey, I'd like
00:17:43.380
to be a model and guess where they place her with this company.
00:17:56.880
And then I want to tell you something I haven't shared for the first year after this happened.
00:18:03.100
It took me several months to even share it with my wife.
00:18:06.080
Um, and she was the only one that knew for the first, um, about year, year and a half.
00:18:12.960
Um, I'll, I'll tell you all about it in just a second, but I want to give you two other things.
00:18:19.140
The Washington post has just given a rave review for a play about pedophiles.
00:18:25.960
The Washington post says downstate, which is a play about pedophiles is brilliant.
00:18:36.900
It's questioning on how society treats these convicted of heinous acts.
00:18:42.800
And, you know, it's not for the person that thinks that pedophilia is bad, but maybe those
00:18:54.660
Remember, we told you, this is what would come.
00:19:00.700
Now you also have in Los Angeles, a real problem.
00:19:06.660
Uh, apparently in Los Angeles, uh, they are releasing thousands of convicted pedophiles.
00:19:15.880
Uh, the, the, the pedophile that should get 20 years is getting between a
00:19:24.640
a year and 10 months and two years and eight months.
00:19:29.300
And they're being by the thousands released back into the population.
00:19:36.380
Why are pedophiles being released back into the population and getting very, very short terms?
00:19:44.780
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:19:51.100
I am thrilled to, uh, introduce the, uh, attorney general, uh, that, uh, is the attorney general
00:20:09.200
Uh, he has reformed the justice system in his own state.
00:20:15.260
Uh, he was, uh, also, um, the national association of attorneys general, uh, that earned the gladiator
00:20:28.900
Uh, he has won the conference of Western attorney general's award for best consumer outreach and
00:20:35.940
the U S D H H inspector general's award of excellent in fighting Medicaid, Medicaid and
00:20:47.560
He's just filed suit a few months ago, um, against Fauci and his name is Jeff Landry.
00:21:04.580
First of all, for everything you do, I think the, um, attorney general in every state is one
00:21:10.980
of the last lines of defense and you guys can actually turn things around, uh, in this country.
00:21:22.660
Um, well, Glenn, you couldn't have been, you couldn't have been more right.
00:21:25.140
Because you fixed the country by fixing your state in your community.
00:21:29.460
You, um, you have brought a lawsuit, uh, against the Biden administration, uh, and Anthony Fauci,
00:21:39.460
and you had a seven hour, uh, uh, deposition with him.
00:21:49.780
Well, um, let's see, let's set a couple of ground rules.
00:21:52.820
You know, right now that the transcript is being prepared and then it will be filed into
00:21:58.740
Uh, and, um, um, I feel confident that, that it will be made public.
00:22:04.340
And so, you know, until that is done, any of the real specifics of it, I would, I would try to
00:22:10.740
refrain, um, uh, from, from going into, into those types of details.
00:22:15.540
The video, we also, there was a video that video is currently under seal and I believe
00:22:20.820
until it's at least filed and then we'll ask the judge to seal it.
00:22:24.340
But let me just say this, once it's unsealed, you are going to have a field day.
00:22:29.460
Um, so get your popcorn, uh, get your, get your, your reading glasses, if you need them, uh,
00:22:35.940
and, and, and, and your highlighter and, and we can have a great conversation of each one
00:22:40.980
of those specifics in general, in general, or what I can tell you was that it was amazing
00:22:47.220
to me, the amount of information, um, that, uh, Dr. Fauci could not recall.
00:22:53.700
Um, and, and, and that he, you know, on documents and emails that were presented to him in exhibits,
00:23:03.220
Which would be made part of that transcript as well.
00:23:08.100
However, I would tell you that the most, and I don't know if I want to use the word troubling,
00:23:14.420
bizarre, uh, perplexing, the thing that has perplexed me and bothered me for the last five
00:23:21.940
days now was actually an event that took place during the deposition.
00:23:33.300
That's the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious Diseases, which Dr. Fauci runs
00:23:38.820
and, you know, awards millions of dollars in grants for research and development, um,
00:23:46.420
Uh, and, and, and we're sitting at a table, a rectangular table, and the court reporter
00:23:56.020
Nice lady, probably in her late twenties, mid twenties, maybe early thirties.
00:24:03.140
Um, but the young lady, and, and she's sitting at the end next to Dr. Fauci, who's sitting on
00:24:11.300
one side of the table with the videographer or another, and, uh, the solicitor general from
00:24:15.780
Missouri, who's asking the questions as general Smith.
00:24:19.140
Now, you know, you're a Senator elect, which fits with me in the room.
00:24:23.860
And we're about five hours into this and the young lady sneezes.
00:24:31.700
And I'm telling you, Dr. Fauci almost comes out of chair and he looks at her and he says,
00:24:40.980
And I mean, she's, the girl's like startled lady is startled.
00:24:47.300
I got some, he says, you know, with COVID and everything, I'm, I'm extremely concerned.
00:24:56.740
And, and so I just want to put this, I just think about this, Glenn.
00:25:00.020
This is a man who 24 hours before that was at the podium of the White House telling the
00:25:09.300
world and the American people that if you really want to be safe and healthy and protect yourself,
00:25:17.060
Now I'm going to assume that he's been double vaxxed, 10 times boosted, whatever, right?
00:25:25.460
So why would it bother him if the young lady has the sniffles, right?
00:25:32.820
So, because, because he's a guy that implemented all the policies about vaccine mandates and how
00:25:38.340
this, this works and how, you know, how he alone is eradicating COVID and yet a simple
00:25:47.940
Now, to me, that's bothering me that a man with his authority who basically wrecked the
00:25:56.660
U.S. economy and who tells the American people, don't listen to your doctor, listen to me,
00:26:04.740
is, is, and, and, and puts all his confidence in the shot.
00:26:09.460
And yet this little sneeze seems to like perplex him.
00:26:14.340
I mean, I don't know, am I missing something, Glenn?
00:26:16.580
Uh, no, I, I, I can't predict what these people, uh, even, even think I'm, I'm anxious to see
00:26:25.940
you did ask him about the lab leak theory, uh, and, uh, his discrediting, uh, the lab leak theory.
00:26:33.860
Uh, you don't have to give me any answers, but can you give me some of the questions you guys asked?
00:26:38.740
Well, we covered, we covered, um, we covered the, the Wuhan, um, uh, uh, lab.
00:26:50.020
We covered, um, we covered his responses, uh, to, uh, the, the questioning of, of whether or not the virus,
00:27:00.900
um, they was, was, was, was, was birthed out of natural evolution, um, or, um, may have been
00:27:12.580
Uh, we covered, uh, we covered, uh, we covered a range of topics.
00:27:17.140
And, and, and, and again, I think it's important to remember, uh, for you listeners that this,
00:27:24.580
So it's not about whether the virus was made in a lab or escaped, uh, from, um, uh, a wet market.
00:27:37.080
This was about whether or not when Dr. Fauci believed information was disinformation or misinformation
00:27:44.160
that he and the white house and the FBI and the CDC basically censored that information.
00:27:54.580
Uh, or told or coerced or colluded, um, or forced big tech to, to, to, to change the information
00:28:03.140
that was on their platform or basically to take certain information down because that's
00:28:09.640
And quite frankly, I think it's one of the most important first amendment cases, uh, in,
00:28:16.460
I mean, if we lose this case, ah, you know, it's like, where is the reach of, of, of the
00:28:23.060
government, because this is basically like it, this case, people actually will explain
00:28:31.320
Imagine that during the Trump years, the president Trump would have sent a federal agent to the
00:28:40.040
editorial office of the New York times and said, Hey, sir, ma'am, uh, I am federal agent,
00:28:49.960
such and such from whatever the white house or they have justice department, whatever.
00:28:54.820
And I am, you, I am now going to be housed in your editorial room.
00:28:59.540
And I am going to tell you what you can and can't put on the front page.
00:29:04.880
I am going to add after you edit, I am going to redact or add things to your stories.
00:29:12.740
Glenn, I think we all are very well aware of what would have, uh, happened.
00:29:19.000
Uh, they would have been screaming first amendment, but they don't actually, they, I don't think
00:29:24.240
they actually believe in the first amendment unless you agree with them.
00:29:27.820
So do they have, do they have the, uh, kind of quasi war powers to do that?
00:29:35.720
Because we did do that in world war two, we had people in the newsrooms going, no, can't
00:29:43.320
Um, so is it, is it a war power that they are claiming?
00:29:48.240
Well, I didn't know we declared war on, uh, ever declared war on a virus.
00:29:54.140
And I don't think those powers would be applicable to this type of situation.
00:30:00.360
Um, in addition, I don't know that there was a national security issue regarding doctors
00:30:08.880
who may have been sharing, um, potential therapeutics, uh, that relieve patients of their symptoms
00:30:20.300
I don't think that there was, um, uh, uh, a national security.
00:30:26.160
Of course, some may a bet may argue on the releasing of Hunter Biden's laptop or making
00:30:31.820
that story seem to be misinformation or disinformation or Russian propaganda.
00:30:38.360
Um, I mean, there are, there, there is information that should be made available to the American
00:30:45.340
And, and let me just also say some too, remember the social platforms claim that they're not
00:30:58.440
Uh, so that they can hide behind section two 30, which is the law that protects them from
00:31:03.740
being sued for taking people down or content down.
00:31:08.180
Uh, and that's the problem is that this speech that they censored was Americans vetting, conversing,
00:31:18.320
uh, having a conversation virtually about issues and theories as the pandemic or, or Hunter, the
00:31:27.520
Hunter laptop, Hunter Biden laptop story, uh, came out as, as, as to what they believe.
00:31:33.600
And then, and then big tech took those stories down or certainly throttled down, uh, the reach
00:31:42.780
of, of, of certain, uh, actual, uh, journalists or, or, or, or, or media outlets, um, because
00:31:50.780
they were conservative, uh, for being able to reach the American people.
00:31:54.580
And so I think that trying, uh, to compare, uh, you know, wartime exercise of information,
00:32:03.400
um, back in world war two to today is, um, is that it's what they did is kind of like apples
00:32:09.780
and oranges for the listeners out there, which is a good example of how it's not.
00:32:14.540
So Jeff, we only, I only have a couple of seconds, uh, left in, in, in, uh, of time before
00:32:21.340
Um, we have the Louisiana attorney general on Jeff Landry.
00:32:24.480
So the, the ceiling of this, um, deposition, it's already gone through court that it had to
00:32:36.080
Are you confident that this information will be coming out?
00:32:42.240
I believe that the transcript will be made public.
00:32:45.940
I think we've got a great fair judge, um, who understands the breadth and the depth of
00:32:52.460
Uh, and, and look, we've got a lot more people.
00:32:54.880
We, we, we deposed Jen Psaki in a couple of weeks.
00:32:58.680
Uh, I think that, that, that this deposition that we took last week is going to grant us the
00:33:07.520
And so this is going to be an ongoing, uh, uh, piece of litigation that I think is going
00:33:13.120
to unveil a lot to the American people about the things that were going on during the pandemic.
00:33:17.880
And I can't thank you, Glenn, for giving me some time.
00:33:21.880
Um, thank you for everything that you have done.
00:33:24.240
And of course you were partnered with the then attorney general, uh, Schmidt, who is
00:33:28.720
now, uh, a, uh, Senator, a U S Senator just elected.
00:33:33.900
Um, and, uh, we're thrilled and thank you so much for everything that you do.
00:34:03.240
I watched your coverage, uh, over the last few days of what's happening in, in China.
00:34:08.120
And I thought you did a great job of not boring people to death, uh, and giving all of the
00:34:14.520
you bet, uh, giving all the pertinent, uh, facts and, and also putting some humor in it.
00:34:19.680
So I wanted to talk to you first of all, about your qualifications to talk about this.
00:34:29.280
Well, I've been covering China on China uncensored for 10 years.
00:34:33.000
Uh, I've been on the front lines in the protests in Hong Kong.
00:34:37.340
I, I've actually walked into disputed territory in the South China Sea, uh, contested territories
00:34:46.040
And yeah, I talked to, to many, many, uh, experts on our podcast and our show, China uncensored.
00:34:51.740
So I've, I've been following this closely for many years now.
00:34:55.240
And I'm wondering if you ever got an, as I'm watching you, I'm like, you were screwing
00:35:05.280
You know, honestly, I would say at this point, I get more heat from American social media companies
00:35:17.240
Yesterday, I explained a little bit about, you know, how this all started, but it is, it's
00:35:23.280
seemingly changing into something else and it's not Tiananmen Square.
00:35:34.740
Well, I think, uh, a big difference people should understand between the Tiananmen protests
00:35:40.140
and what is happening right now is that the Tiananmen protests were not calling for the
00:35:48.580
They were calling for really modest political reforms.
00:35:56.820
Uh, these protests are different in that there are actually people coming out and saying that
00:36:04.200
The Chinese Communist Party itself needs to step down.
00:36:09.840
Uh, that's that kind of direct attack on the Chinese Communist Party itself, not some policy
00:36:20.940
And this isn't like, uh, you know, uh, any other country.
00:36:25.780
They know who these people are and some of them are, they're not wearing masks or anything.
00:36:30.800
I mean, that doesn't seem like it's going to end well for those people.
00:36:34.560
Well, sadly, you know, people are asking, like, will the, will there be a bloody crackdown?
00:36:43.520
And I am seeing that there are some reports of tanks rolling through a city called Shuzhou
00:36:52.580
But the thing people need to understand is that the Chinese Communist Party has never stopped
00:36:59.100
That's, that's, that's how it maintains its rule.
00:37:01.800
So these people are, you know, they, they really are taking their lives into their own
00:37:11.920
It's, it's hard to know for certain because for instance, with the Tiananmen Square massacre,
00:37:16.560
uh, the Communist Party has spent decades erasing that from people's memory.
00:37:23.220
So many people today in China just have never even heard of it.
00:37:28.220
I remember a few months ago, there was, uh, like this Chinese influencer, uh, he, he promotes
00:37:37.280
And on the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, he had like an ice cream tank cake
00:37:44.600
He had no idea what he was referencing because he'd never heard of it, but you know, he disappeared
00:37:51.860
So, so tell me how significant it is that they are waving the Chinese flag and singing
00:38:02.380
what now, I think in the early two thousands, they made this into their national anthem,
00:38:10.420
Um, but they just codified it as the national anthem and they're singing the words, which
00:38:15.580
talk about rise up people who don't want to be slaves.
00:38:22.500
Uh, so, so again, I shouldn't, I should clarify that not everyone in these protests is calling
00:38:30.020
It definitely has been years of pent up frustration over China's zero COVID policy, which has reached
00:38:43.380
Uh, at a minimum people have to be constantly tested just to function in city, uh, just to
00:38:52.020
Uh, then you have cases of, you know, entire cities being put onto lockdown and people starving
00:38:56.700
in lockdown because they can't get food or what, uh, was a big factor in these recent
00:39:01.240
protests was a fire that broke out in, uh, Rumxi, the capital of Xinjiang, where China's
00:39:09.280
Uh, people were basically trapped in their apartments and, uh, fire trucks weren't able
00:39:18.540
So the thing about how the Chinese Communist Party represses people is typically they, they
00:39:29.080
Uh, so, you know, the Tiananmen protesters or Uyghurs or Falun Gong practitioners or human
00:39:36.380
The thing with zero COVID though, is that this has essentially made the repression nationwide,
00:39:42.520
including in, you know, the middle and upper classes of Chinese society in Shanghai and Beijing.
00:39:47.740
So these are people who typically have only benefited from the communist rule.
00:39:54.680
And, um, uh, how, how, how much is actually COVID and how much is just sheer control the
00:40:10.700
Of the, the government's, um, you know, uh, COVID restrictions, how much of it is actually
00:40:17.780
because they think this is the right thing and how much of it is just control?
00:40:24.680
Well, the thing about these one party states is that they can never admit when they're
00:40:31.040
Um, you know, for years since the beginning of COVID, uh, Chinese propaganda has, has, you
00:40:37.780
know, pushed the idea that the rest of the world handled COVID so badly, you know, people
00:40:42.480
are dying in droves there, but you know, China, China's got it figured out.
00:40:46.800
They actually reported like zero deaths for, uh, like from April, 2020, I think to a year
00:40:55.080
And like, just transparently, that's not true, but they've created this, this narrative of,
00:41:02.720
you know, the party has it under control and this is what's necessary to protect China.
00:41:11.080
People see the economic damage, the damage to people's livelihood.
00:41:15.040
There was a case last year where, uh, a woman, uh, had a miscarriage because she went to the
00:41:22.820
hospital, uh, but her, her COVID app had expired.
00:41:28.440
So she, she was basically left outside while she had a miscarriage and that, that went viral.
00:41:37.500
Uh, so, um, we're talking to, uh, Chris Chappell from, uh, China Uncensored.
00:41:46.560
Um, this is the biggest, uh, protest since when, when has, can you give us any kind of
00:41:58.760
So, um, I actually spoke to somebody from an organization called Freedom House recently,
00:42:05.960
and they, they're doing some interesting things, uh, researching how often there are, uh, you
00:42:11.040
know, protests or mass movements in China, and they are far more common than I think a
00:42:20.180
Um, just, you know, the party is able to kind of clamp down and censor a lot of these stories.
00:42:25.260
Um, but these protests definitely are on a scale, uh, beyond what we've seen in a long
00:42:32.380
I should say though, that a weekend of protests does not make a revolution.
00:42:38.160
May it will not topple the Chinese Communist Party.
00:42:42.660
The, um, the companies that are, uh, many of them American like Apple that have, uh, stopped
00:42:51.120
the airdrop from working, which was a way to not be tracked.
00:43:01.360
How many Americans, I just read that Joe Biden's not going to make a statement about it.
00:43:17.060
Um, uh, how many of these companies are actually assisting kind of like IBM did in world war
00:43:26.860
Well, China has a very powerful, uh, surveillance and censorship apparatus.
00:43:33.000
And that was largely built up thanks to American tech.
00:43:40.740
This, this, the West has been horribly complicit in so much and, um, yeah, there's just been
00:43:48.180
such a weak response to the fact, I mean, the Chinese Communist Party, it's a regime that
00:43:54.360
uses rape as a form of torture and the response has just been inadequate to put it lightly.
00:44:03.220
So what does the world do if they start slaughtering people?
00:44:10.780
Well, as I, as I said, they have never stopped slaughtering people.
00:44:15.340
Uh, you know, a couple of years ago, uh, there was a, something called the China Tribunal.
00:44:19.840
It was overseen by a guy named Sir Jeffrey Nice, who, uh, so it's oversaw the war crime
00:44:26.380
And they looked at the accusations that China, the Chinese Communist Party is harvesting organs
00:44:32.840
from prisoners of conscience, Hong Kong practitioners, Uyghurs, Christians.
00:44:39.440
And yeah, they, they've always been killing people.
00:44:43.640
And, but it seems like when the world is, it seems like when the world is watching, for
00:44:49.940
instance, the Hong Kong protests, they didn't do anything until everybody was focused on
00:44:55.840
COVID and then all those people just disappeared.
00:44:58.960
Uh, so, oh yeah, I mean, we are watching now, but I guess our politicians are sending the
00:45:05.800
wrong message that we, we're not going to do anything anyway.
00:45:11.300
I mean, it's, it's, it's wall street, all these, you know, social media kind of like Apple,
00:45:20.040
Like even after the Tiananmen square massacre that like weeks after it happened, George Bush
00:45:24.240
senior sent a secret envoy to China to tell them it wouldn't get in the way of U S China
00:45:31.320
So the communist party knows there's, you know, there might be some talk, but you know, the
00:45:41.120
I think what needs to happen is I think we need to clearly see and understand that the
00:45:47.300
Chinese communist party is our enemy in their own internal speeches.
00:45:53.260
They talk about spreading international communism, being at war with America, trying to destroy
00:45:58.080
America, but we get lost in like all these narratives and propaganda.
00:46:02.960
But if you just understood they're our enemy, then you would handle things like Tik TOK, which
00:46:17.420
With, uh, with this president, how deeply in bed with China, he and others, I mean, on
00:46:23.020
the other side, you've, you've got Mitch McConnell just as deeply in bed.
00:46:26.900
Well, maybe not as deeply, but, but on the same, uh, on the same boat, we're talking to
00:46:48.360
What does it mean if, if this continues just as it is, what is the destruction, the, uh,
00:46:56.460
destruction going to be like of the global economy?
00:46:59.740
Well, ultimately the Chinese Communist Party's goal is to destroy America as a superpower.
00:47:09.940
Uh, you know, we saw how devastating during COVID when China spent the initial weeks of
00:47:15.660
the outbreak, covering it up to hoard medical supplies.
00:47:19.640
Most of our medical equipment is made in China.
00:47:21.740
We were screwed because we have pushed all of this vital manufacturing to China.
00:47:30.680
Uh, what ultimately happens is, you know, China will invade Taiwan.
00:47:36.360
They have, they have said this repeatedly that they will do a military invasion of Taiwan.
00:47:40.900
That would completely destroy the semiconductor supply chain.
00:47:47.100
Those are the microchips that basically run everything.
00:47:53.620
If that breaks down, we might go back to the stone age.
00:48:01.540
Well, you didn't improve my mood much, but I am appreciative.
00:48:06.500
I know, I know, I know, I know, I, I really appreciate it.
00:48:09.860
I, I watched your, uh, work on this and I just thought you were, you were spot on.
00:48:14.760
So thank you very much for keeping your eye on that.
00:48:19.760
Um, the name of the, um, of the, uh, uh, podcast is China Uncensored.
00:48:29.540
By the way, while we're talking about this, this is not a commercial.
00:48:32.660
I, I just, I mean, these are a sponsor of, of portions of programs that I do, but I so
00:48:40.080
Uh, I, I want you to go to jacemedical.com and check out what they do.
00:48:49.400
Uh, these are people, uh, doctors and pharmacists that know exactly what we're headed for.
00:48:56.280
If God forbid the supply chain breaks down again and you can have antibiotics in your
00:49:05.100
house and antibiotics are very, very scarce so you can have them.
00:49:11.300
So if things break down, somebody gets sick, you have some, some medication on hand and
00:49:17.980
they'll explain how it all works and it's, you know, all legal and everything else.
00:49:29.900
I think if you use the promo code Beck 10, you'll save money.
00:49:32.560
If you get, if you get that far, um, again, not a commercial.
00:49:36.200
I just, I really think this is important that we pay attention.
00:49:49.100
Let's get together and learn how to make stuff again.
