00:00:30.000 Peter Schweitzer is on today.

00:00:31.780 He's on my TV show tonight, and he's talking about the corruption of China and the death and destruction that they are knowingly bringing over our border. 1.00

00:00:42.040 Don't know if you know this.

00:00:43.580 More Chinese nationals now cross the border into Californian than Mexicans.

00:00:49.980 That's significant.

00:00:51.680 What's happening, and why is our administration not paying any attention to it?

00:00:56.260 Also, we cover Super Tuesday, and Nikki Haley bails out.

00:01:01.240 We cover all of that and so much more.

00:01:03.340 Don't miss a second.

00:01:04.460 Podcast begins in a minute.

00:01:06.120 Let me tell you about Lear Capital.

00:01:08.000 Our American values are under attack.

00:01:10.040 Financial system is under attack and broken.

00:01:13.520 You need to move quickly and find the safest ways to invest and protect yourself and your family from whatever lies ahead in the road.

00:01:22.540 May I recommend that you at least investigate gold or silver?

00:01:26.120 However, I made my first gold purchase back early 2000, and that has done very, very well, needless to say.

00:01:37.380 But Lear was the company that helped me do that.

00:01:39.920 I was listening to Rush Limbaugh, and he said, Lear Capital.

00:01:43.200 Lear is now a sponsor on our program.

00:01:45.140 And with over $3 billion in trusted transactions, thousands of five-star reviews, and 24-hour risk-free purchase guarantee, you can trust Lear Capital to help you.

00:01:57.500 800-957-GOLD.

00:02:00.160 800-957-GOLD.

00:02:03.540 Call them now.

00:02:04.880 800-957-GOLD.

00:02:07.780 It's Lear Capital.

00:02:15.140 You're listening to The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:02:24.980 Well, the New York Times.

00:02:28.440 Trump's victory speech last night after Super Tuesday conjures a dark vision.

00:02:35.580 Now, I thought they were going to say dark future, which would have been a copyright infraction, and I would have had to sue them.

00:02:42.360 Dark future available in bookstores everywhere.

00:02:44.380 Anyway, it conjures a dark vision, Stu.

00:02:48.320 Okay.

00:02:48.640 Very dark.

00:02:49.540 Yeah.

00:02:49.880 So we know they're now laying down the groundwork.

00:02:53.820 Why, on MSNBC today, why does Trump continually trash America?

00:02:58.520 The gears have been shifted on the air.

00:03:00.380 We have entered the general election, boys and girls.

00:03:02.620 Correct.

00:03:03.060 And now the New York Times, day one, he's just depressing.

00:03:07.620 He's got a very dark vision for the future.

00:03:10.640 Listen to this article.

00:03:11.420 As he dominated the Super Tuesday battlefield, former President Donald Trump warned of dark days ahead if President Biden were to win a second term.

00:03:20.680 Now, that's not anything I have heard from anybody in the news, in the New York Times, any writer, any politician on the left.

00:03:29.560 I haven't heard that from the White House, that if Donald Trump wins, it will be a very dark future.

00:03:35.340 I've not heard that.

00:03:36.400 It's a whole genre of literature at this point.

00:03:38.920 We're a third world country, he said repeatedly.

00:03:41.740 We've watched our country take a great beating over the last three years.

00:03:47.600 Okay, we're not a third world country, dot, dot, dot, yet.

00:03:52.760 But we are on the road to being a third world country. 0.86

00:03:56.180 You can't print $1 trillion every 100 days and remain a superpower.

00:04:04.300 You can't do it.

00:04:06.280 But that's what we're doing.

00:04:07.980 He said, we've watched our country take a great beating over the last three years.

00:04:11.640 Who disagrees with that?

00:04:14.440 Who disagrees with that?

00:04:15.900 I mean, don't assign the blame.

00:04:19.240 But if you're on the left, don't you agree with that?

00:04:21.940 You just blame it's the Republicans for not doing enough on the border.

00:04:25.740 I don't know what we're supposed to do on the border, but we, you know, that border thing is out of control and it's a Republican's fault.

00:04:33.600 Our spending is out of control and it's a Republican's fault.

00:04:36.800 You believe that this country has taken a beating.

00:04:40.380 You've just, you know, unhitched yourself from the wagon train of sanity.

00:04:47.760 Okay, he then said, and nobody thought a thing like this was possible.

00:04:52.120 Well, I wouldn't say nobody.

00:04:53.260 I've been here for a while.

00:04:54.140 Mr. Trump recited a, this is New York Times, recited a meandering list of grievances, insisting that the nation was descending toward chaos under Mr. Biden's leadership.

00:05:07.580 Again, does anybody disagree with that?

00:05:12.280 I mean, ask, again, don't assign blame.

00:05:16.420 Just ask the mayor of Chicago, the mayor of Denver, the mayor of New York.

00:05:22.580 Is your city descending into chaos?

00:05:25.880 Hey, let's ask the people in Los Angeles.

00:05:29.020 How do you feel about things?

00:05:31.020 How about all of the residents there on Park Avenue?

00:05:35.220 And the people who live in, you know, Central Park West.

00:05:38.940 Let's ask them.

00:05:40.280 What do you think?

00:05:41.120 Your city descending into chaos?

00:05:45.000 No, that's why we call Batman.

00:05:46.580 I mean, it's Gotham all over the country.

00:05:52.620 Okay.

00:05:53.600 He insisted the country was going toward chaos under Mr. Biden's leadership.

00:05:57.080 He railed against the lack of border security, China policy, and U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:06:04.300 Okay.

00:06:04.560 Again, who disagrees with the border policy problem?

00:06:09.340 Who?

00:06:09.900 Who?

00:06:10.520 Who?

00:06:10.920 Besides China, Russia, Iran, and Venezuela.

00:06:16.940 Who really doesn't have a problem with our border policy?

00:06:20.920 Okay.

00:06:21.520 China.

00:06:22.200 Our China policy.

00:06:23.500 I don't know.

00:06:24.120 Let the spy balloons fly.

00:06:26.300 What's the problem?

00:06:27.560 Who doesn't have a problem with our China policy? 0.94

00:06:30.120 And the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

00:06:34.480 If this were normal times, and when I say normal times, oh, I don't even know.

00:06:42.400 Prior to 1970, maybe?

00:06:47.100 I don't even know anymore.

00:06:49.200 If these were normal times, just the disaster that was the withdrawal in Afghanistan would be 0.99

00:06:55.860 enough to finish this president's term.

00:06:58.740 It'd be it.

00:07:01.120 Uh, at one point, he spinned off to complain about brand new, this is what I love about

00:07:06.500 him, brand new, beautiful equipment that we left behind.

00:07:09.820 We left it all behind, including the night vision goggles.

00:07:13.520 I mean, everything you could think of, night goggles.

00:07:16.200 They didn't use to fight at night, but now they do, because they have goggles.

00:07:19.740 In fact, they have better goggles than we have.

00:07:21.580 Now, I don't know.

00:07:22.400 I think you went one sentence too far.

00:07:25.180 I don't know.

00:07:26.240 Really?

00:07:26.760 Is the Taliban taking, oh, we've got their technology. 0.88

00:07:29.420 Wait, I've got an idea.

00:07:31.140 We can make it better.

00:07:32.560 I don't, I don't think so.

00:07:34.720 Um, we're a third world country at our borders and we're a third world country at our elections.

00:07:39.560 Well, I don't know, Colorado.

00:07:42.240 Do you agree with that?

00:07:44.380 I don't know, New York, Washington, D.C.

00:07:48.020 As you filed how many, 97 charges against the guy?

00:07:53.240 I don't know.

00:07:53.700 It doesn't sound like a third world country to me.

00:07:56.520 With the exception of it sounds exactly like a third world country.

00:08:01.480 Mr. Trump asserted, as he often does, that foreign policy crisis in Ukraine and Gaza would

00:08:06.280 have been averted had he only won in 2020.

00:08:08.340 Absolutely true and provable.

00:08:12.020 Do you think Donald Trump would have went, I don't know.

00:08:15.220 I like Ukraine.

00:08:16.480 Ukraine might be a great partner in NATO.

00:08:19.420 I love NATO.

00:08:21.020 NATO needs to expand, needs to get bigger.

00:08:24.280 So yeah, come on in today.

00:08:26.100 He would have never said that.

00:08:27.760 And that's what we all begged Joe Biden to not say.

00:08:34.840 Just all you have to say is, no, they're not, they're, they're not a candidate for NATO.

00:08:38.980 And none of it would have happened.

00:08:42.660 Then again, he characterized the migrants.

00:08:45.140 You're going to love this.

00:08:46.320 New York Times.

00:08:46.940 Then he then again characterized the migrants surging across the nation's southern border at record 0.71

00:08:52.740 levels as part of an invasion, broadly casting them as violent criminals and murderers.

00:09:01.600 Well, seeing that we've had people come from Venezuela, seeing that we know that they empty 1.00

00:09:10.640 their prisons out, seeing that we know that people from Iran, Russia, China came across,

00:09:16.900 you know, there, there, there might be a case that, Hey, yeah, we're letting some bad guys in,

00:09:22.020 but listen to where the New York times takes this board authorities, border authorities who

00:09:28.480 worked for the former president have said that most of those who cross the borders are vulnerable

00:09:33.620 families, fleeing poverty and violence.

00:09:36.980 I've missed the tape of those lines.

00:09:40.460 Um, I mean, I've watched a lot of videotape over the last few years, and it seems to me that it's

00:09:47.960 mainly guys in their twenties by themselves.

00:09:52.700 Are there some families?

00:09:54.420 Sure.

00:09:55.500 Are there some killers?

00:09:57.200 Sure.

00:09:57.560 Are there non killers?

00:09:59.060 Sure.

00:10:00.400 But you can't say that it's mainly families unless, well, I don't know.

00:10:07.040 I didn't ask.

00:10:08.420 Shame on me. 0.92

00:10:09.520 I didn't even ask, were all those 20 something men gay where they, maybe they were all married 0.80

00:10:14.380 and starting a new family in America could be Mr. Trump maintained that the party would

00:10:20.500 unite behind him.

00:10:21.580 His success was ultimately going to unify this country and unify the party.

00:10:25.800 Um, now that's how they spun Donald Trump, that he has a dark vision.

00:10:32.360 I just want you to listen to one paragraph from right before he tried to get off the

00:10:44.820 stage.

00:10:45.220 Okay.

00:10:46.920 He's still even saying his name anymore.

00:10:48.960 You're just, no, you don't need to go in PP in my pants, ice cream.

00:10:55.860 Uh, he said, quote, tonight's results leave the American people with a clear choice.

00:11:03.800 We're, are we going to keep moving forward or are we going to allow Donald Trump to drag

00:11:10.680 us backwards into the chaos division and darkness defined in his term in office?

00:11:18.360 Okay.

00:11:19.220 He's actually using the word darkness when he's casting a vision.

00:11:23.840 Oh, this is going to be, this is going to be fun.

00:11:30.100 This is going to be fun because Americans are waking up.

00:11:33.380 They are, they're waking up.

00:11:34.720 They're waking up all over the world, not just Americans.

00:11:37.340 I mean, it'd be nice if Americans all around the world went, huh, you know, maybe I should

00:11:40.940 leave here and I should go back to my home and help build that.

00:11:43.880 Um, but, uh, they're waking up all over the world.

00:11:46.600 People, citizens.

00:11:48.700 I'm going to give a story later on in the program in what's happening in Ireland.

00:11:52.360 In Ireland, they're voting on a constitutional amendment on Friday to remove the word woman

00:12:01.440 and female from their constitution, as well as I think mother and father, and then re also 1.00

00:12:09.420 redefine what a family is.

00:12:12.180 And the press over there, I read it this morning.

00:12:16.500 Good thing I read it.

00:12:17.620 Cause I thought, well, I might be for that.

00:12:19.580 And then I read that the people who are leading the opposition in this are the same people.

00:12:24.860 And this is a quote from like the, I don't know, the potato times or whatever it is.

00:12:30.320 They said, uh, the same people that are leading this, that are against us are the same people

00:12:37.060 who have a problem with our immigration policy.

00:12:41.480 Now, not our immigration policy, their immigration policy.

00:12:46.340 And it's not about their Southern border, which Scotland definitely has a problem with

00:12:51.100 their Southern border.

00:12:51.860 They're like, I don't want, I don't want all these Englishmen up here. 1.00

00:12:56.100 So Ireland and Scotland have always had a problem with their, you know, their border policy,

00:13:01.060 if you will, but that's not what they're talking about.

00:13:03.840 They're talking about how all these people are coming from all over the world, mainly

00:13:08.640 the Middle East and changing everything in their country. 0.97

00:13:13.220 Wow. 0.60

00:13:13.760 I thought that was just the racist dust. 0.57

00:13:16.240 No, no. 0.96

00:13:18.260 It's the redheads too. 1.00

00:13:19.880 The really, really white people with freckles. 0.68

00:13:24.140 It's them too. 0.58

00:13:25.360 They're haters as well, but they're, they've been pissed off ever since, you know, somebody

00:13:30.200 laid their hands on their lucky charms and, and nobody would stop them.

00:13:35.520 Nobody would stop the whole world coming for their lucky charms.

00:13:39.200 The world's waking up today.

00:13:41.520 Uh, yesterday was actually a pretty good day for America. 0.92

00:13:45.100 I think back to the podcast in a second.

00:13:48.060 Patriot mobile is a, a, a business that you should be doing business with do business

00:13:53.700 with the companies, uh, that you can choose to do business with that offer great service,

00:13:59.740 um, and a great price, but also stand for the values that you stand for Patriot, uh, mobile

00:14:07.820 on top of having everything that you could possibly want in a mobile phone plan.

00:14:11.400 One of the three major networks, if you're on there now, they come and they are on the same

00:14:17.540 cell tower.

00:14:18.160 So you're going to get the same exact coverage.

00:14:20.980 You're going to get it at a lower price and you're not sending your money into the, you

00:14:25.420 know, aid in the destruction of America. 0.76

00:14:43.060 Now back to the podcast.

00:14:46.580 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:14:48.460 And don't forget rate us on iTunes.

00:14:52.260 I want to tell you a story of traumatic loss, tell you a story of courage, of togetherness

00:15:02.600 and the spirit of man.

00:15:07.340 At least two deaths have been confirmed in the Texas panhandle fires.

00:15:11.640 Now it's the largest wildfire in state history with over a million acres burned.

00:15:19.060 Hundreds have lost their homes.

00:15:20.720 And because rural Texans are twice as likely to forfeit homeowners insurance, the road ahead

00:15:28.480 seems unfathomably difficult.

00:15:32.180 I want to play the voice of a three-year-old Addison.

00:15:40.100 Addison began to realize the only home she's ever known is now gone forever.

00:15:46.800 I want a house.

00:15:48.500 You want your house?

00:15:53.320 We'll get another house, okay?

00:15:55.120 Okay.

00:15:57.940 Her dad is Tyler McCain.

00:15:59.540 He was working hard to become the first person in his family to ever pay off his house.

00:16:05.640 He was close.

00:16:07.460 If you're watching Blaze TV, you can see the picture of what their home looks like right

00:16:11.480 now.

00:16:12.300 The only thing standing in the backyard is the metal swing set.

00:16:18.560 The catastrophic depths of this particular wildfire go one step further and it will affect

00:16:23.740 you.

00:16:24.620 Texas leads America by far with the most cattle.

00:16:27.960 And according to the Texas Agriculture Commissioner, Sid Miller, 85% of the state's cattle population

00:16:34.720 resides in the panhandle where this fire happened.

00:16:39.220 He predicted during an interview with CBS News that 10,000 cattle will have died or will

00:16:45.940 have to be euthanized.

00:16:47.940 This is too horrific to even think about.

00:16:51.440 A lot of these cattle are still alive, but the hooves have been burned off.

00:16:56.020 Their teats have been burned off.

00:16:57.560 Their udders are burned off and they have to be put down.

00:17:03.120 So while the death toll of human lives lost to these fires is low, the loss of livelihood

00:17:10.300 is nothing like we've ever seen before.

00:17:14.220 Now, Dixon Creek, it's a division of the Four Sixes Ranch.

00:17:17.820 It was seen in the hit TV show Yellowstone.

00:17:20.520 That is just one of the ranches affected.

00:17:25.180 When the wildfires came near, General Manager Joe Leathers said,

00:17:29.260 The cowboys from other divisions joined forces with other ranches, firefighters, volunteers.

00:17:35.420 They all fought the flames and saved lives.

00:17:37.940 You probably have never met a real cowboy, but they are amazing people.

00:17:45.360 They're some of America's toughest.

00:17:47.800 But can these ranchers and the cattle industry actually recover from this?

00:17:52.800 Joe Leathers joins me now.

00:17:54.220 Joe, welcome.

00:17:56.460 Yeah.

00:17:56.940 Good morning, Glenn.

00:17:57.900 Glenn, how are you?

00:17:58.820 I'm good.

00:17:59.900 Better than you are.

00:18:01.220 This is just tragic.

00:18:02.880 And I don't think people understand how bad this is and how much it will affect them.

00:18:10.540 Well, Glenn, before we even start this conversation, I want everybody to understand,

00:18:16.840 you know, we've been in business for over 150 years, and we've got three ranches.

00:18:24.520 We lost 23,000 acres in this particular fire.

00:18:31.440 But with that being said, we've been extremely blessed.

00:18:37.800 We've got options, and we didn't completely burn out fence to fence.

00:18:42.380 We didn't lose massive amounts of cattle.

00:18:44.580 And we've got a lot of neighbors that have and are in far worse shape than us.

00:18:50.180 I was at Dixon Creek yesterday, and we were moving cattle out of the burned area.

00:18:56.520 And, you know, it's cows and baby calves.

00:18:59.300 It's calving season, and little old calves can't travel very far.

00:19:03.420 And a lot of them couldn't outrun the fire.

00:19:06.280 And, you know, we were moving those cattle out to country that had not burned,

00:19:12.520 and we were able to adjust and send cattle to the feedlot.

00:19:15.620 But long story short, when I left there, I went to the feedlot and looked at some cattle that we had sent up there.

00:19:21.820 And on my way back, I went through some of the burned area.

00:19:24.780 And I didn't measure it, but for 30 or 40 miles just through one particular area, it was black as far as I could see, not a blade of grass.

00:19:37.180 Any fences that had wood posts were burned up and on the ground.

00:19:42.920 Fire had burned up to the edge of homes.

00:19:45.120 And, you know, we've been through fires before, and I was telling my wife this morning that, you know,

00:19:52.280 when you're sitting there looking at that burned-out country and you've lost an unaccounted-for amount of cattle

00:20:00.220 and don't know what your future holds, it's a pretty devastating feeling.

00:20:06.180 I have to tell you, I got a call from my ranch manager yesterday,

00:20:12.900 and he said, because we've had three sets of twins, and when that happens, the mamas can't feed both, 1.00

00:20:20.880 so they're usually gone off.

00:20:22.380 We lost a calf yesterday, one calf.

00:20:25.740 I cannot imagine what it feels like to lose the cattle and to see them suffering on the ground.

00:20:33.460 I mean, this is just a horrific, horrific story.

00:20:37.740 Well, it is.

00:20:39.240 And this is not the first time that we've had a fire.

00:20:42.100 This is obviously the largest when it's over a million acres and covers 2,000 square miles.

00:20:50.080 You're talking huge.

00:20:51.500 But the Texas Panhandle has fires in the past.

00:20:54.880 I've been through many of them, several of them in my 25 years at the ranch.

00:21:00.360 But it takes a toll on you in the recovery.

00:21:05.040 And to find calves or cows that are burned, and some of them have died, well, it is heartbreaking.

00:21:16.020 And then, you know, you find some that burned, and then you've got to make the determination,

00:21:20.400 are they going to recover?

00:21:21.640 Are you going to have to put them down?

00:21:25.320 And so that adds a whole other emotional level to it.

00:21:29.960 Somebody told me that they had seen a video where somebody was driving 60 miles an hour

00:21:34.340 and could not outrun the fire at some point.

00:21:37.240 Is that true?

00:21:37.920 Well, I don't know whether that particular story is true, but I can tell you this.

00:21:42.940 And I know from experience that it can cover, with 60-mile-an-hour gust, anything gust over 40 miles an hour,

00:21:54.240 that it can cover 20,000 acres, burn over 20,000 acres in 30 minutes or less.

00:22:01.140 Wow.

00:22:01.620 So, you know, unless you've got some obstacle to slow it down, a four-lane highway won't slow it down.

00:22:09.260 It'll jump to highways.

00:22:11.180 And you can't—firefighters can't fight something that's moving that fast.

00:22:15.340 You've got to work from the sides, and you've got to wait until the wind lays.

00:22:20.640 There's not anything you can do to stop it.

00:22:22.760 So you have—the big impact of this fire is you don't have any grass to feed your animals.

00:22:30.980 How can people—I think there's like a hay hotline.

00:22:34.800 This happens from time to time, where people who are growing hay and alfalfa, they ship it down to you.

00:22:42.980 Is there anything organized on that yet?

00:22:45.860 Absolutely.

00:22:46.620 Go to TexasSouthwestCattleRagers, T-S-C-R-A dot org, and they will—on that website,

00:22:55.860 there are places that you can send hay and drop hay, and then that way the ranchers in need,

00:23:03.780 they will make sure it gets to the ones that need it.

00:23:07.120 And I'm going to tell you, they need hay.

00:23:10.500 There's folks out there that lost their homes.

00:23:12.780 They need home supplies.

00:23:14.260 There's fencing material.

00:23:17.360 With 2,000 square miles that's burned up, I don't know how many hundreds or thousands of miles there is a fence

00:23:25.140 that has burned up that's on the ground.

00:23:27.840 So those type of things are—those are good places to take materials to and donations to.

00:23:33.800 The Star Fund, the state of Texas has a Star Fund that's been set up.

00:23:38.720 You can get financially, and I've got to share with you, Glenn, I don't know how much time we have, but—

00:23:45.440 Go ahead.

00:23:46.300 In 2010, we draft out in Texas.

00:23:49.880 You probably remember it.

00:23:51.180 Yeah, I do.

00:23:51.960 And we moved a lot of cattle.

00:23:54.100 The ranch moved a lot of cattle up north, and what we discovered that the ranching community—

00:23:59.620 you know, we talk about our neighbors across the fence,

00:24:03.620 but the ranching community is its neighbor from the Gulf Coast all the way to the Canadian border.

00:24:08.720 And I've had people that I run cattle on up north in some of those states call me and say,

00:24:14.320 we've got hay.

00:24:15.720 Where does it need to go?

00:24:17.800 And so we've been getting hay from Montana and South Dakota and Wyoming,

00:24:22.360 not to the ranch, but to these locations.

00:24:26.920 And, you know, a big deal now is trucking.

00:24:30.920 You know, you can get people to donate the hay, but they don't have any way to get it to Texas.

00:24:36.140 And then sometimes you don't have a way to get it from the centers where you bring the hay to

00:24:41.600 to get it distributed to the people in need.

00:24:44.220 So there's an opportunity there for truckers.

00:24:46.840 Well, there's a lot in common with truckers and cowboys.

00:24:50.260 There is.

00:24:51.660 But then the truckers have to pay bills, too.

00:24:54.000 They're willing to donate their time and their rigs, but it costs money.

00:24:57.880 So that's another way to give.

00:25:03.700 And I just – people's memories are short.

00:25:06.820 Disaster memories are short.

00:25:09.280 And when it rains, you'll get a little green on the ground and people will forget.

00:25:12.920 But it's going to take years to recover from this, even if it rains up.

00:25:17.640 So we're not going to see a price increase.

00:25:20.440 I hate to bring it to this, but we're not going to see a price increase in beef, or we shouldn't,

00:25:25.120 until next year when everything is sold at auction.

00:25:28.220 All these babies that are being born right now are sold at auction.

00:25:33.020 What's the impact on the ability to buy meat in America?

00:25:38.100 None.

00:25:39.120 None?

00:25:39.460 You're not going to see any immediate change in prices at the grocery store.

00:25:47.520 You're not going to see a shortage of beef.

00:25:49.760 Here's the reality.

00:25:51.320 Here's the reality.

00:25:53.320 The beef industry is huge.

00:25:56.540 It's a national industry.

00:25:59.240 And the amount of cattle, even though it's very devastating to the individuals who lost

00:26:05.580 their ranches, who lost their homes, who lost their livelihoods, who lost all these

00:26:09.060 cattle, that number ahead that we have lost is a minute amount when you look at the overall

00:26:16.240 numbers of cattle in the United States.

00:26:18.200 And I don't foresee seeing a major increase in price at the grocery store.

00:26:24.700 Well, I can't thank you enough for taking your time to share the story with us, Joe.

00:26:34.200 If you don't mind, I would like somebody from my charitable arm, Mercury One, to reach out

00:26:41.520 to see if we can help defray some of the costs for the hay or the truckers or even help people

00:26:47.260 rebuild their lives.

00:26:48.320 Um, so if you don't mind, somebody from Mercury One will be reaching out to you today.

00:26:54.180 Sure.

00:26:54.700 They can reach out to me, but they can also go to the Star Fund, uh, Texas Department of

00:26:59.920 Agriculture website.

00:27:01.980 And that is a good, legitimate place to give.

00:27:05.240 Okay.

00:27:05.680 Uh, and they will get it out to, it's, it's not a, it's not, um, it's not state money.

00:27:11.700 It's individual money, like the folks you're talking about.

00:27:15.500 And they will get it to the people that need, you know, as bad as I hate to say it, there,

00:27:19.460 there are, uh, crooks out there that try to set up places where they can receive this

00:27:24.540 funds, uh, but just make sure you send it to a legitimate.

00:27:29.120 Well, if you say the Texasagriculture.gov is, is good.

00:27:34.320 I just don't, I just don't want 30 cents or 40 cents of my dollar going to the state and

00:27:39.420 only 60 cents going back to you guys.

00:27:41.860 But if you say that's good, that's good.

00:27:44.140 The Star Fund is a legitimate spot to give it.

00:27:47.580 And it's not going to end up in some other state coffers.

00:27:50.240 It'll end up in the, in the producer's hands that need it.

00:27:53.400 Okay.

00:27:53.680 Thank you so much, Joe.

00:27:54.800 God bless you.

00:27:56.340 You bet.

00:27:56.800 Thank y'all.

00:27:57.300 Keep praying.

00:27:58.040 You bet.

00:27:58.520 Uh, the Star Fund.

00:27:59.940 Also, you can go to Texas and Southwestern Candle Ranchers Association.

00:28:03.920 That's T-S-C-R-A dot org. 1.00

00:28:09.440 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:28:13.500 Tonight on the Wednesday night special only on Blaze TV, China is waging a secret war on 0.99

00:28:20.400 American soil.

00:28:22.160 The Art of War by Sun Tzu is a required textbook for everyone at all levels of the Chinese military.

00:28:29.320 One of the book's ancient concepts is, quote,

00:28:32.360 The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

00:28:38.660 China is mastering the supreme art of war. 0.97

00:28:42.560 Uh, have you noticed how Russia seems to take up all the oxygen in the room when it comes 0.99

00:28:48.320 to media panic and, uh, you know, every, we got to fight Russia.

00:28:51.700 Meanwhile, China is inventing new strategies and means to patiently dismantle our entire 1.00

00:28:59.400 country and our, our, our relationship with each other and our very health.

00:29:06.360 It is multifaceted and so far extraordinarily effective because nobody's talking about it.

00:29:14.960 This is an enormous national threat.

00:29:17.680 Um, and it's not even close to being the dominant narrative that it should be.

00:29:23.000 Why?

00:29:23.580 Because our leaders and mainstream media are obsessed with the wrong enemy.

00:29:30.040 Again, why?

00:29:32.660 Journalist and bestselling author Peter Swiser, uh, chronicles China's cunning war in his latest 0.88

00:29:38.200 book titled Blood Money.

00:29:40.480 Why the powerful turn, uh, a blind eye while China kills Americans. 0.96

00:29:45.780 Few people, if any, any do more research than Swiser and his team on the threats posed by

00:29:51.760 the Chinese government, as well as China's financial ties to the American elites.

00:29:56.440 And we're not just talking about the Bidens.

00:29:58.580 He's joining me tonight for the full hour.

00:30:01.340 It's chock full of facts about a war you don't know about that you must know about tonight.

00:30:08.140 Find out how China is waging a secret war on American soil. 0.74

00:30:11.920 That's tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern on blaze tv.com 9 30 p.m.

00:30:17.860 on youtube.com slash Glenn Beck.

00:30:20.820 Uh, Peter is with me now.

00:30:23.000 Hi, Peter.

00:30:23.980 Hey, Glenn.

00:30:24.460 Good to see you.

00:30:25.260 Good to see you.

00:30:25.900 Corey, boy, you never bring good news.

00:30:27.800 You never go.

00:30:28.500 You never come in.

00:30:29.180 You're like, you know, I did an investigation and it turns out we're good.

00:30:32.360 We're good.

00:30:34.520 Pretty sunshine and rainbows everywhere, right?

00:30:36.760 I mean, one, just once, Peter, just once.

00:30:39.260 Um, I want to talk to you about, uh, a couple of things that are in the news, uh, today,

00:30:46.020 uh, and this week, this headline from the New York post, after years of denials, Hunter

00:30:53.300 Biden finally acknowledged Joe was the big guy in the $5 million China deal.

00:31:00.300 How is that story?

00:31:02.140 Not the lead story everywhere.

00:31:03.820 Right, right.

00:31:04.500 I mean, he's acknowledging what all of us knew before, but it's a, it's a critical admission.

00:31:09.000 It's an admission made under oath.

00:31:11.060 Uh, so he didn't really have a choice.

00:31:13.020 Uh, and it just further shows it's another domino falling on how the Biden narrative has

00:31:19.100 completely changed.

00:31:20.480 You know, going back to 2018, when I first wrote secret empires, I came on this show and

00:31:25.280 we talked.

00:31:25.640 I remember you stunned me.

00:31:26.880 Uh, it might've been about 2016.

00:31:28.420 You said, uh, and maybe even earlier, you said the most corrupt politician in our country's

00:31:36.020 history was our current vice president.

00:31:38.880 Yeah.

00:31:39.180 Joe Biden.

00:31:39.800 Yeah.

00:31:39.940 And, and I think it's been proven to be true because we're used to, unfortunately, the rank

00:31:44.820 and file corruption that exists, you know, in Washington, DC, what the Bidens have done

00:31:49.380 is take it on steroids because they do it with international thugs and, uh, international 0.95

00:31:55.160 regimes that are antithetical to the United States.

00:31:57.640 And we're not talking about a hundred thousand dollars in a shoe box.

00:32:00.520 We're talking about tens of millions of dollars from Chinese businessmen.

00:32:04.320 Uh, and it is this system they set up.

00:32:07.160 It's not one mistake they made.

00:32:08.640 It's systematic.

00:32:09.460 So the acknowledgement that he's the big guy fits the pattern for everything else.

00:32:14.480 You know, Joe swings by meets the, you know, the donors, one of the, uh, uh,

00:32:19.380 one of the business partners, Jason Galanis said that, uh, you know, Joe Biden said on

00:32:23.980 the phone to the Russian oligarch, Yelena Baturina, take good care of my boy.

00:32:29.160 Um, you know, and he said it was interesting because there was nothing that what money from

00:32:34.980 the wife of the mayor of Russia, he has nothing to do with it.

00:32:38.880 We now know under oath that all of them are saying, okay, yes, that's what it was.

00:32:45.040 Yeah, no, that's right.

00:32:45.860 And, uh, we also know that Yelena Baturina, that Russian oligarch, uh, should be on the 0.98

00:32:51.700 sanctions list, uh, for the war in Ukraine.

00:32:54.520 She's a pro Putin oligarch. 0.99

00:32:56.440 Uh, she's loyal to the regime, but she's not. 0.97

00:32:59.400 The Bidens have excluded her.

00:33:01.340 And now how does that work?

00:33:03.080 Yeah.

00:33:03.420 How do you explain that?

00:33:04.920 That that's a good question.

00:33:06.140 And they haven't explained it.

00:33:07.380 And we'll talk more tonight about a gentleman named Zong on low, who goes by the name of white 0.77

00:33:13.340 wolf.

00:33:14.120 Anytime you're dealing with a guy with a name like white wolf.

00:33:17.140 Yeah.

00:33:17.380 You got to be, I get out of business, uh, you know, but everybody calls me white wolf.

00:33:21.860 Uh, all right.

00:33:23.260 Not me.

00:33:24.740 Well, white wolf and his gang, um, uh, Chinese gang set up the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, made 1.00

00:33:32.140 them the Kings of fentanyl.

00:33:33.500 Everybody acknowledges this.

00:33:35.180 He's the head of this gang.

00:33:36.500 He is not on the sanctions list that we have for those that are involved in the fentanyl

00:33:41.560 trade.

00:33:42.000 And you have to wonder why, why is the Biden administration not put this guy in the sanctions

00:33:45.860 list?

00:33:46.300 Well, we'll talk to tonight.

00:33:47.560 It's probably related to the fact that white wolf's business partner in 2017.

00:33:53.580 Let's lay this out.

00:33:55.000 Go ahead.

00:33:55.700 Go ahead.

00:33:56.020 Tell that part.

00:33:56.740 Yeah.

00:33:57.000 He, he, uh, his business partner in 2017 gave the Bidens a $5 million interest-free loan

00:34:04.280 that of course has never been paid back.

00:34:06.520 Those happen all the time.

00:34:08.340 Peter, can I borrow, can I borrow $5 million from you and let's not write it down, but I'll

00:34:13.960 pay it back or not pay it back at some point.

00:34:16.160 I could forgive it at some point.

00:34:17.520 Yeah.

00:34:17.820 No interest.

00:34:18.680 I mean, nobody does that.

00:34:21.020 No, nobody does that.

00:34:22.540 No.

00:34:23.080 Um, so let me, uh, let me take you to something I read this morning that there is a new drug

00:34:30.800 and it's actually not new.

00:34:31.780 It was, it was, um, invented probably by some Nazi doctor, you know, and like, no, we're

00:34:38.680 working on bare aspirin.

00:34:40.000 Right.

00:34:40.740 Um, it was invented in about 1950 and it had, it has zero medical use.

00:34:47.740 So it's never been made.

00:34:49.520 They discovered it or they made the compound and then said, yeah, we shouldn't make this.

00:34:54.540 Um, because it's instantly addicting.

00:34:57.460 It is a hundred times more powerful than morphine and 60 times more powerful than fentanyl.

00:35:05.360 But the Chinese have started to make them into pills. 0.97

00:35:09.660 Of course.

00:35:10.080 Okay.

00:35:10.260 Of course.

00:35:10.900 And guess where they're showing up.

00:35:12.700 Yeah.

00:35:13.200 In the United States.

00:35:14.120 Through the cartels in the United States made by China. 0.95

00:35:18.020 Yeah.

00:35:18.760 Yeah.

00:35:18.920 This is, this is, I think the biggest misconception people have about the fentanyl crisis in America.

00:35:24.640 You talk about, there's other drugs, there's car fentanyl.

00:35:27.580 There's, there are, are drugs that are used by veterinarians to calm down large animals that

00:35:33.520 they're now importing into the United States.

00:35:35.420 But the thing people are forgetting or don't realize is the Mexican cartels are the junior

00:35:40.580 partners.

00:35:41.580 The senior partners are the Chinese.

00:35:43.800 They control every single chain in every single link in this chain.

00:35:49.280 The precursors come from China.

00:35:51.040 Where do the precursors show up?

00:35:52.660 The port of Monsanillo in Mexico.

00:35:54.120 Who runs the international terminal in Monsanillo, Mexico, a Chinese company close to the Chinese

00:35:59.780 government.

00:36:00.240 Do you remember Peter, when we were arguing that we should not sell our ports to the Chinese? 0.99

00:36:04.900 Yeah.

00:36:05.380 You remember that?

00:36:05.940 Yes, exactly.

00:36:06.500 And it was like, that's crazy. 0.98

00:36:07.540 You're such a xenophobe. 0.97

00:36:08.860 No. 0.52

00:36:09.400 Right.

00:36:09.800 No.

00:36:10.360 Exactly right.

00:36:10.920 We shouldn't sell our ports to the Chinese. 1.00

00:36:14.020 Right.

00:36:14.360 Exactly.

00:36:14.820 And this is because you don't get, have security.

00:36:16.960 You don't have control.

00:36:18.300 Those precursors end up in this port, 90% of them, according to DEA, they then send those

00:36:23.300 precursors to a town in Northern Mexico where, guess what?

00:36:26.740 2,000 Chinese nationals just happened to live, helping the cartels turn the precursors into fentanyl. 0.82

00:36:34.460 They use pill presses that the Chinese have sold to the drug cartels, according to our

00:36:39.720 Department of Homeland Security, at cost.

00:36:42.520 So they're not trying to price gouge the cartels.

00:36:45.680 They make the pills on those Chinese pill presses. 0.94

00:36:48.520 When the cartels operate in the United States, they use Chinese communication devices that

00:36:54.060 are encrypted in China because the cartels know that the Chinese will not turn those communications

00:36:58.840 over to our government.

00:37:00.360 And finally, you're a drug cartel, Glenn.

00:37:02.680 What do you got to do?

00:37:03.320 You got to launder money, right?

00:37:04.640 Well, in the cocaine days, they used to launder the money in Latin American banks.

00:37:09.420 Today, they are laundering money in Chinese state-owned banks, and they're using Chinese

00:37:15.100 students in the United States on education visas to do it.

00:37:19.040 So this is, the Mexican cartels are the junior partner. 0.99

00:37:22.620 This is a Chinese operation, and it is designed to poison and kill Americans. 1.00

00:37:26.760 And it's working, and our leaders are blind to it. 0.99

00:37:29.460 Well, no, they're purposely blind.

00:37:32.040 Right.

00:37:32.480 They're blinded by money.

00:37:34.440 Yes, correct.

00:37:35.440 And favors or whatever else it takes to sell your nation out.

00:37:38.840 I mean, this is, this kind of stuff, when you, if you are taking money from an enemy

00:37:46.560 who is doing this kind of stuff, I'm sorry, but I do think that fits into treason.

00:37:51.980 Don't you, Stu?

00:37:53.480 You're taking money, knowingly, from an enemy of the United States that you then,

00:37:59.460 then keep silent about the drug cartel trade that's coming in and killing Americans.

00:38:07.180 I mean, I don't know legally how that's defined.

00:38:09.640 I don't think that's traditionally how it's been applied, but it certainly seems like the

00:38:13.400 spirit of the rule.

00:38:14.500 You're aiding and abetting an enemy of the United States, for sure.

00:38:17.760 Yeah.

00:38:18.100 For sure.

00:38:18.760 And you see the power of this money.

00:38:20.140 I mean, so then you look at Abby Lowell, who is the Biden family lawyer for Hunter Biden.

00:38:25.360 He represented a guy named Heng Lapsang, who is-

00:38:29.100 Oh, I love.

00:38:30.260 Laps is one of my favorite-

00:38:31.860 Of the Sang dynasty? 0.73

00:38:32.440 Of the Sang dynasty.

00:38:33.700 Yeah, go ahead.

00:38:34.240 Heng Lapsang is the member, a known member of a criminal gang in China involved in the

00:38:39.080 drug trade.

00:38:39.920 And yet, he was his representative.

00:38:42.000 Not in a court case.

00:38:43.220 He was actually his legal representative before the federal government in the United States.

00:38:47.060 And you wonder, what prompts somebody to say, yeah, I'm going to represent Heng Lapsang,

00:38:51.340 who has this history, who has this background, has these associations, because his money's

00:38:55.940 good with me.

00:38:59.360 Corruption?

00:39:00.200 Yeah.

00:39:01.000 Corruption.

00:39:01.720 Yeah.

00:39:01.840 That's the only thing.

00:39:04.100 Tell me, and we can talk about this tonight.

00:39:06.040 I read this morning that there are more Chinese nationals crossing the California border than there

00:39:13.820 are Mexicans.

00:39:17.060 That's a little stunning.

00:39:18.660 Yeah.

00:39:19.480 Yeah.

00:39:21.500 What are they doing here?

00:39:23.600 Well, I talk about in blood money, they have this strategy to disrupt the United States

00:39:27.840 internally.

00:39:28.760 And one of the things they're doing is Chinese money is coming into the United States through

00:39:34.180 criminal gangs, and they are setting up massive marijuana growing operations.

00:39:38.580 We had somebody, what, about a month ago?

00:39:41.700 From, I think, Maine.

00:39:43.380 Yes.

00:39:43.660 That said, this is out of control, and nobody's talking about it.

00:39:47.380 They're all Chinese nationals.

00:39:48.660 Yeah.

00:39:48.860 They're Chinese nationals, and the vast majority of them are here illegally. 1.00

00:39:52.420 So how are they getting here?

00:39:53.780 They're coming across the border.

00:39:55.760 I'm convinced this is what's going on.

00:39:57.640 In the state of Maine, there are 300 of these alone, just in the state of Maine.

00:40:02.060 They find them in Oklahoma, California, Washington state.

00:40:05.560 The other thing I discuss is how in 2020, while we were having all these violent riots in the

00:40:11.780 United States, the Houston consulate, the Chinese consulate, had a group of Chinese nationals that

00:40:17.660 were working out of the consulate trying to aid and abet the violent protests occurring in the United States.

00:40:23.740 They eventually left the country.

00:40:26.280 So there's all kinds of ill intention that we already know that China's doing. 0.96

00:40:31.240 Are some of those people coming across the border just trying to look for a better life?

00:40:35.240 Yeah, I'm sure.

00:40:35.920 But the problem is you don't know.

00:40:37.920 And we do know that this criminal activity is taking place.

00:40:41.140 It is killing and destroying American lives.

00:40:43.700 And our administration doesn't seem to care about it at all.

00:40:47.760 No, it's beyond not caring.

00:40:50.100 Yeah.

00:40:50.380 It is aiding and abetting.

00:40:52.220 Yeah.

00:40:52.520 I really think it is.

00:40:54.460 You are, you're, what is that five, five million for, for the big guy?

00:40:58.860 What was it for?

00:41:00.160 What was it for?

00:41:01.340 And what, is it a coincidence that you take all this money from China and then you don't

00:41:06.640 put Chinese people or people from Moscow on the, uh, on the, uh, on the list to make sure

00:41:13.860 that that oligarch doesn't have all of their money.

00:41:16.900 They just happened to slip by.

00:41:18.940 Right.

00:41:19.540 No.

00:41:20.100 Yeah.

00:41:20.460 There's a, there's a pattern here.

00:41:21.800 And this is, this is the massive abuse of power.

00:41:25.100 And again, it's, it's, you look back at corruption 20 years ago, some congressman's getting a,

00:41:29.380 a road paving contract for his nephew.

00:41:31.740 Right.

00:41:32.200 That's bad.

00:41:32.840 Uh, this is outrageous behavior and, and it's killing Americans.

00:41:36.920 Fentanyl now is the leading cause of death for people under the age of 45.

00:41:40.500 Wait until this new one.

00:41:41.760 Yeah.

00:41:42.000 Wait until this new one comes out.

00:41:43.180 Yeah.

00:41:43.380 They're saying it, you take one pill and you're dead.

00:41:46.040 Yeah.

00:41:46.740 Yeah.

00:41:47.000 And it's, it's going to be here and, and yet nothing.
