The Glenn Beck Program - Best of the Program ｜ Guests： Peter Schweizer & Rabbi Yitzchok Adlerstein ｜ 3⧸24⧸22

00:00:00.000 Great show today kind of ends with a discussion of Karl Marx, whether or not he was an anti-Semite.

00:00:05.800 I think it's pretty clear.

00:00:07.580 I think it's pretty clear.

00:00:09.040 But our number one of today's podcast, I take you through a little bit of what was seen last night on my TV show.

00:00:17.740 It is really important if you are somebody who has listened to me for a long time and believe that, you know, we we show you some of the things that are over the horizon.

00:00:27.140 This first hour is a must listen to.

00:00:30.220 Then we have Peter Swiser on who.

00:00:32.300 Wow.

00:00:32.940 Holy cow. 0.89

00:00:34.520 Told us some things.

00:00:35.760 We start talking about Hunter Biden, but then we get into the selling out of America by by people like Hillary Clinton.

00:00:45.780 Oh, my gosh.

00:00:46.920 When you hear what he said about the Clinton Foundation and the hypersonic missile, it's not going to make your day better.

00:00:57.140 All all this and more on today's podcast.

00:01:00.100 Yeah.

00:01:00.280 Blaze TV dot com slash Glenn is the place to go to subscribe the show.

00:01:03.340 We touch on the digital dollar.

00:01:05.440 There's Glenn had a special on this last night.

00:01:07.620 You can catch as part of your Blaze TV subscription.

00:01:10.240 Blaze TV dot com slash Glenn.

00:01:11.540 The promo code is Glenn.

00:01:12.540 And we talk about this a little bit in the show, but the number one book in America, it's 10th week of release because there's actually books in stores.

00:01:21.340 This time is The Great Reset.

00:01:23.840 Congratulations, Glenn, by the way.

00:01:25.140 And of course, Justin Haskins, you know, real brains behind the operation, obviously.

00:01:29.360 I mean, I don't know why his name is smaller than yours on the cover.

00:01:32.440 Anyway, it's The Great Reset by Glenn Beck, available in bookstores everywhere.

00:01:36.140 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:50.560 Welcome to the Glenn Beck program.

00:01:53.260 So I want you to go in and listen to last night's television show or watch it on Blaze TV dot com.

00:02:01.420 At least this morning, it is still up at YouTube.

00:02:05.860 Just go to the Blaze TV channel and look for my Wednesday night special.

00:02:09.960 And it talks about the digital dollar.

00:02:12.060 It takes what I've just set up and now gives it gives it all of its teeth and shows you how this is being developed and how it has been developed for a long time.

00:02:24.660 2014, Russia, China, they already started making their alliance on a digital currency and a new world order on their side.

00:02:34.600 But, you know, I just please just consider that the axis power is Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, India, the stands, possibly Argentina, Mexico and Brazil.

00:02:52.660 That alone will end the American lifestyle as we know it.

00:02:59.600 So the goal really on both sides is to decouple from the U.S. dominated global financial system, break the back of the United States, cripple the globalist supply chain and just hear this, please, because this will happen.

00:03:17.280 We go to war.

00:03:18.800 This will happen.

00:03:20.540 If we can't get products from China, India, Singapore, Vietnam or chips from China or the high tech chips from Taiwan, because if we're at war and Israel looks like it's preparing war because Iran is preparing war on Israel. 0.54

00:03:41.540 Well, if we can't if we're bogged down in a war, that's your axis power.

00:03:48.420 China is going to take Taiwan.

00:03:50.260 If those things happen, if those things happen, how much are our TV where are we even going to get our TVs?

00:03:57.260 Where are we going to get them?

00:03:59.360 How are we going to get them across?

00:04:00.960 What will they cost?

00:04:02.580 How much will our clothing cost or anything we currently buy at Walmart?

00:04:07.700 Take a look at all the products that you buy.

00:04:09.820 Where are they made?

00:04:11.260 Are they made here in America? 0.72

00:04:12.660 Are they made in Mexico, Mexico, Russia is courting them to go with their axis power. 0.89

00:04:21.720 How long will it take for us to begin to make those things again?

00:04:26.600 How long will it take us to be able to make medicine again?

00:04:29.780 What cost will it be to not only build the factories, but retrain the workers in things that are in many ways a lost art in America?

00:04:41.840 No one even makes fabric here in America, let alone clothing.

00:04:48.000 And if Mexico joins the axis power, what is the cost of our lifestyle? 0.72

00:04:53.660 I know for the last few years I've been saying, I live in America.

00:04:58.340 What do you mean it's going to take me eight months to get this?

00:05:01.160 What are you talking about?

00:05:02.740 It's because of the global supply chain.

00:05:05.840 It's going to get worse without war because of what's happening in China right now. 0.95

00:05:10.480 But because of war and because of the price of oil, it's going to get worse, not better.

00:05:18.640 Here's the thing.

00:05:19.560 This this is all going to change our lifestyle dramatically and make it out of reach for most people.

00:05:30.420 But the good news is there's a plan that promises by 2030 you won't only own anything, but you'll be happy.

00:05:37.240 And it all begins with a crisis created by the same people who are offering a solution to save ourselves.

00:05:44.600 All we have to do is reimagine the entire world, our jobs, how we work, what we buy, what we eat.

00:05:51.580 We'll be forced for our own good to do these things for the good of our planet, the good of our country, the good of our family.

00:05:58.020 And most will not question because they don't have forewarning or they'll listen to places like the New York Times that tell you there is no coercion involved in ESG.

00:06:11.100 Except the New York Times is lying to you because the New York Times held a conference with Larry Fink in 2017.

00:06:20.400 And this is what he was talking about with ESG.

00:06:24.100 Well, behaviors are going to have to change.

00:06:25.640 And this is one thing we're going to we're asking companies.

00:06:28.580 You have to force behaviors.

00:06:30.960 And at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.

00:06:33.240 That is shocking that that is that old.

00:06:39.920 2017, that's been out.

00:06:42.040 And we've heard all this conspiracy nonsense and everything else.

00:06:45.720 There is the biggest hedge fund, the biggest investor in the world.

00:06:51.840 We're forcing people to do it.

00:06:55.180 Most people don't have forewarning.

00:06:57.580 Some people will just deny it no matter what.

00:07:00.160 It doesn't matter.

00:07:01.000 You have forewarning.

00:07:04.220 Now, you need to do your own research from the original sources.

00:07:08.680 Do not take it even from people like me.

00:07:11.560 Don't take it from me.

00:07:13.200 Just because I said it doesn't make it true.

00:07:16.460 You have to own this information.

00:07:19.680 You have to do the work.

00:07:22.700 Use the sources.

00:07:23.980 The IMF.

00:07:24.920 The US Treasury.

00:07:25.780 Treasury.gov.

00:07:26.800 Whitehouse.gov.

00:07:28.240 The World Economic Forum.

00:07:29.660 W.E.F.

00:07:30.440 Dot org.

00:07:31.460 The Central Bank of England.

00:07:33.600 Read the book.

00:07:35.200 He's got several now.

00:07:36.700 From Charles.

00:07:37.580 From not Charles.

00:07:38.920 Klaus Schwab.

00:07:40.640 Read the Great Reset.

00:07:43.000 By the way, you can get it now in hardbound.

00:07:45.520 Just for the footnotes.

00:07:47.200 And to make sure that you don't lose this copy.

00:07:50.280 Get it hardbound.

00:07:51.760 If you want to listen to it or read it on Kindle, that's fine.

00:07:55.640 But I highly recommend you get a hard copy.

00:07:58.020 And use the footnotes.

00:08:00.420 Just because I said it doesn't make it true.

00:08:02.940 You have to know.

00:08:04.160 You can't live on somebody else's testimony.

00:08:06.540 The next step is digital programmable currency.

00:08:11.960 I don't care what anyone says.

00:08:14.280 It's inevitable.

00:08:15.820 And it is coming.

00:08:17.720 And you'll understand all of that if you watch last night's show.

00:08:22.440 The Wednesday night special on Blaze TV.

00:08:27.180 So can I talk about something a little different here?

00:08:29.800 Yeah, sure.

00:08:30.260 The Great Reset came out on January 11th.

00:08:37.860 And you may have remembered we had some issues with selling out all the books immediately.

00:08:42.760 So the books came back in stock this week.

00:08:46.060 And now BookScan, which is the organization that actually counts the books, unlike the New York Times, which just makes up their own algorithm.

00:08:54.240 They have the new list out.

00:08:56.600 Number one book in the country.

00:08:58.440 The Great Reset.

00:08:59.260 In week 10 of release.

00:09:01.640 Week 10.

00:09:02.700 More than double any other book on the list.

00:09:05.340 It's crazy.

00:09:06.560 It is crazy.

00:09:07.340 And I am truly grateful.

00:09:09.560 My biggest, and Justin, who is the co-author of the book, we talked about this the entire time we were researching this book.

00:09:17.000 At first, we started researching The Great Reset because neither of us believed it.

00:09:21.640 We didn't believe it.

00:09:23.080 We thought it was a conspiracy theory because it was too crazy.

00:09:26.940 And then we started researching it.

00:09:29.420 And we started looking at their own words and we're like, oh, my gosh, everybody's involved in this.

00:09:35.540 And then our biggest fear was that nobody would care.

00:09:41.080 That we would put all this work into it and then no one would read it.

00:09:46.380 Nobody would care about it.

00:09:47.540 And the opposite is happening.

00:09:50.920 Yes.

00:09:51.600 By the way, you're number 15 on the New York Times bestseller list.

00:09:54.800 Am I really?

00:09:55.400 Number one.

00:09:56.400 Literally number one.

00:09:57.840 Double every other book on the list when it comes to actual sales.

00:10:01.860 On the New York Times list, you're number 15.

00:10:04.440 The number one book.

00:10:05.260 Unbelievable.

00:10:05.760 You sold almost 10 times as many copies as what the New York Times has as number one.

00:10:12.040 It's absolutely unbelievable.

00:10:15.200 It's crazy.

00:10:15.560 It's like the perfect actual example of how the New York Times operates.

00:10:20.860 Like the same titles are there.

00:10:23.180 They're just totally out of order and totally manipulated to their own agenda.

00:10:27.940 And there's no way you can get to number 15 with anything other than push that down.

00:10:33.780 Push that down.

00:10:34.600 There's no algorithm that could even be close.

00:10:37.580 That is push that down, which should tell you everything.

00:10:40.420 We just got that clip from the New York Times.

00:10:45.760 The New York Times held a conference in 2017.

00:10:50.600 And I don't know who found the clip, but thank you.

00:10:54.040 Thank you, whoever it was, for finding that clip of Larry Fink.

00:10:57.940 So at the New York Times conference, he says, we're forcing people.

00:11:05.160 Listen again.

00:11:07.760 Larry Fink.

00:11:10.420 CEO of BlackRock, by the way.

00:11:12.400 Yeah, CEO of BlackRock, which is the largest investment firm in the world.

00:11:17.820 Here he is.

00:11:18.740 Well, behaviors are going to have to change.

00:11:20.240 And this is one thing we're asking companies.

00:11:22.120 You have to force behaviors.

00:11:25.560 And at BlackRock, we are forcing behaviors.

00:11:28.060 So now how is he doing that?

00:11:29.220 He's doing that by cutting off all of your money.

00:11:32.700 Well, you're not going to get investment unless you clean it up.

00:11:35.920 And then he's not only doing that, but they're also buying enough shares to be able to vote out the major stakeholders, to vote out the people on the board.

00:11:48.800 They put three environmentalists on Exxon.

00:11:52.440 They bought up a whole bunch of shares.

00:11:54.360 And then at the shareholder meeting, they were like, we'd like to challenge the board, and we'd like an election.

00:12:04.480 And they got three environmentalists on their board.

00:12:09.440 That's how they do it.

00:12:10.600 So you're going to play ball one way or another.

00:12:16.120 The New York Times is lying to you.

00:12:18.460 That's why the New York Times has my book at number 15 when I sold 10 times the amount of books.

00:12:23.280 10 times as many books as the book they have at number one.

00:12:27.100 It's absolutely impossible to justify in any way.

00:12:32.880 But I will say this, Glenn.

00:12:34.160 One thing, not from the New York Times side, not from the far left side, they're going to do what they do.

00:12:40.080 But there are, I think there's a decent amount of people with this particular topic who are like you when you started, which is, you don't want to believe, you can't believe that something like the Gregory said is going on.

00:12:51.360 You don't want to believe it.

00:12:52.040 And for good reason, you're skeptical at the beginning because there is so much misleading and actual conspiratorial stuff on the internet about this topic.

00:13:04.040 Which I know this is a conspiracy theory here, but which I think would be to their advantage if they created it.

00:13:11.060 Right.

00:13:11.640 You know what I mean?

00:13:12.400 I mean, I don't know that they did, but I'm not saying they did either.

00:13:16.160 It's like that propaganda.

00:13:17.340 It's like that misinformation and disinformation and malinformation they talk about all the time.

00:13:21.940 If you just go on Google and search for The Great Reset, you're going to stumble upon tons of stuff.

00:13:28.680 First of all, you'll see a lot of the real documents from these organizations, but you will also see tons of bizarre conspiracy theories, stuff that you will know instantly is not true, that is under the banner of The Great Reset.

00:13:42.560 If you read the book, The Great Reset, you're going to see stuff that's heavily documented and not conspiratorial, not some crazy theory.

00:13:51.580 And you have to be able to decipher between those things.

00:13:54.100 And I think a lot of regular people hear about this, Google it, see the crazy stuff and say, oh, this is nothing.

00:14:00.300 Right.

00:14:00.660 And I don't, you know, that is.

00:14:02.100 It is crucial, crucial.

00:14:05.160 Nobody knows what to believe.

00:14:07.400 So I'm telling you right now, do not believe me or take my word for it.

00:14:11.940 I want you to go to the worldeconomicforum.org, wef.org.

00:14:17.320 I want you to go to our treasury.

00:14:19.480 I want you to, what is the Hamilton?

00:14:22.500 I want you to go to the Fed and read the 75-page report on the new digital dollar called the Hamilton.

00:14:30.320 It was something that the Fed Boston worked with MIT to produce.

00:14:35.000 They're ready.

00:14:36.100 They're ready.

00:14:38.580 Read it from the original source.

00:14:40.960 And 50 pages of fine print footnotes at the end of the Great Reset.

00:14:48.280 Make sure you get a hardbound copy.

00:14:50.540 I don't know how many copies are left.

00:14:52.740 And I don't know how many copies before we have to go into.

00:14:55.040 I know we are already ordering new, but I have no idea how long it will take us to get the paper and the print again.

00:15:01.280 So get it now while you can.

00:15:03.420 The Great Reset available at bookstores everywhere.

00:15:06.140 This is the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:15:10.300 I am surrounded by a new family of people who have their life back because of Relief Factor.

00:15:21.000 I am one of them.

00:15:22.620 I was in pain and got to the point to where I just couldn't do it anymore.

00:15:28.620 Anybody else feel like, you know, I just can't get up another day?

00:15:33.440 We have our life back because of Relief Factor.

00:15:38.380 It's not a television commercial.

00:15:40.760 It's a group of real people with real results that had real pain.

00:15:48.220 Try it yourself.

00:15:49.520 Relief Factor.

00:15:50.340 This guy, when he started, completely bald.

00:15:52.840 Look at him now.

00:15:53.500 It doesn't do anything for your hair, but it will help you get out of pain.

00:16:00.120 Give it a shot.

00:16:00.880 Try the three-week quick start.

00:16:02.820 Doesn't work?

00:16:03.600 Move on.

00:16:04.520 But we're here to tell you it works.

00:16:07.240 Relief Factor dot com.

00:16:09.140 We are possibly on the verge of World War III nuclear war. 0.99

00:16:14.220 We've got a president who is darn near mentally incapacitated. 1.00

00:16:18.180 We have a vice president who is an absolute imbecile. 1.00

00:16:23.140 And not only that, our president has been compromised. 1.00

00:16:27.380 No one will talk about how stupid Kamala Harris is. 1.00

00:16:32.360 Nobody will. 1.00

00:16:32.920 Nobody will actually.

00:16:33.940 Oh, she's great. 0.89

00:16:34.800 She's great.

00:16:35.760 Do you want her as president of the United States? 1.00

00:16:37.860 Because she's literally a very weak heartbeat away from being the president of the United States. 0.58

00:16:43.380 Be a disaster.

00:16:46.060 You want her making decisions if we go to war? 1.00

00:16:49.980 So, hey, stop.

00:16:52.360 So, we have Kamala Harris. 0.99

00:16:55.720 We have the president's health, his mental health, and the fact that he has been compromised by the three people, the three countries. 0.97

00:17:08.320 We're now engaging in talks about war.

00:17:13.700 Russia, China, and Ukraine.

00:17:16.880 This rises to high crimes.

00:17:20.780 For the first time, I've seen the Nixon.

00:17:23.080 I've seen the Clinton.

00:17:26.320 Clinton and also the Trump.

00:17:30.120 And Trump was, I thought, nothing.

00:17:32.680 Clinton was about the definition of is.

00:17:35.640 Are we going to be able to, are we going to allow our president to lie?

00:17:39.080 Because that was the high crime and misdemeanor of Nixon.

00:17:42.860 He lied.

00:17:43.640 He covered it up.

00:17:44.420 We've blown past the lies.

00:17:47.520 And this is the very first time I have actually seen a provable high crime.

00:17:55.180 And no one will even discuss it in the mainstream media.

00:17:59.280 Peter Swiser is here.

00:18:00.820 He is the author of Red Handed.

00:18:03.140 He's the president of Government Accountability Institute.

00:18:05.860 He says that the White House is bracing for the indictment of Hunter Biden.

00:18:12.440 But is that really, I mean, is that going to take us to the White House and Joe Biden's corruption?

00:18:21.720 Welcome, Peter.

00:18:22.480 How are you?

00:18:23.840 I'm great.

00:18:24.560 Always good to be with you guys.

00:18:25.720 Thanks for having me.

00:18:26.560 Thank you.

00:18:27.300 So let's start with Hunter Biden.

00:18:29.580 What have you heard?

00:18:30.420 What is coming?

00:18:31.280 Well, we had this New York Times piece that ran last week, which talked about the grand jury that was convened in 2018.

00:18:41.020 They're looking at several possible crimes, including tax evasion, money laundering, failing to file as a foreign agent with the Department of Justice and political corruption.

00:18:52.520 And the Biden administration and the Biden campaign before that had absolutely nothing to say on this issue.

00:18:58.860 Now, suddenly, you have a story appear in the New York Times.

00:19:02.280 The New York Times admits on page, sorry, on paragraph 17 that, OK, the laptop is real.

00:19:08.820 But what I think is really important, Glenn, is in this article, the team Biden basically acknowledges, not by name, but acknowledges that Hunter Biden may very well be indicted, at least on the tax evasion charges.

00:19:24.400 And they reveal that he's paid a million dollars in back taxes.

00:19:28.800 Of course, he did that 18 months after the grand jury started looking into this.

00:19:33.200 But to me, that is a massive admission that they are trying to get ahead of this story.

00:19:37.720 They realize that it's a big problem.

00:19:40.280 And I think that it's going to create an enormous problem within the Biden family, because the question becomes, does Hunter Biden take the fall for his dad?

00:19:50.880 Or if he is indicted, does he actually fight this?

00:19:53.880 And by fighting it, it brings in all the material from the prosecutors about how some of the money ended up with his dad and the favors that his dad performed.

00:20:02.780 So I think they are there in serious panic mode in team Biden.

00:20:06.940 All right.

00:20:07.200 So I got to believe the president would just tell his son, don't worry about it.

00:20:12.380 If you're convicted, I will just pardon you, which he can do.

00:20:16.080 Right.

00:20:16.300 Yeah, that's exactly right.

00:20:19.120 And, of course, the other hurdle, Glenn, is that if the grand jury, which is American citizens, look at this and say he should be indicted, Merrick Garland and the Justice Department could theoretically say, no, we're going to take a pass on that.

00:20:30.920 Correct.

00:20:31.680 That would be, I think, create a huge crisis.

00:20:34.700 It would be a huge stain on Merrick Garland's career.

00:20:38.480 But maybe he's prepared to do it.

00:20:40.100 So there's several hurdles here, but we are now finally getting to the point where we are seeing official action that's going to take place.

00:20:48.180 And, of course, next year, Republicans take the House and possibly the Senate.

00:20:52.200 You're going to have committees with subpoena power, I think, looking into these issues as well.

00:20:57.140 So it's starting to the circle starting to close.

00:20:59.420 Am I wrong saying this is the first high crime that I have seen that could be charged for impeachment?

00:21:10.360 Not in my lifetime.

00:21:11.360 I haven't seen a high crime.

00:21:13.340 I've seen lying about things, covering things up, some things that I don't want.

00:21:19.080 But this is taking money illegally from foreign countries and having it funneled to you by your family.

00:21:30.180 All of that's illegal.

00:21:32.620 Well, correct.

00:21:33.760 And add to that the national security implication.

00:21:37.020 Correct.

00:21:37.280 We talked about what when my book came out, the thirty one million dollars that we know they received from China came from four businessmen, all of whom are tied to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence, meaning they at the same time they are helping the Bidens.

00:21:52.440 They are business partners with like the vice minister of state security, which is their their spy apparatus.

00:21:58.220 So this has all the markings of a Chinese intelligence operation and the Bidens happily went along with it. 0.98

00:22:05.120 So what does this mean as we are now looking at an Axis allied world? 0.69

00:22:12.260 China is clearly on Russia's side and Biden is threatening China, which I think is insanity, but he's threatening them.

00:22:25.780 What does this mean?

00:22:27.900 What does this old relationship do or how does it affect us in any way?

00:22:33.220 I think it affects us in lots of ways.

00:22:36.440 I mean, here's the here's the irony of when Joe Biden became vice president of the United States, his son, Hunter, decides to set up a financial consulting business.

00:22:46.320 And the three countries that he does the most work in are China, Ukraine and Russia, who are all center stage today.

00:22:55.460 And by the way, I don't think this was by random chance.

00:22:59.400 I think that those four countries he did business in because they all have deeply corrupt political and corporate cultures.

00:23:07.060 So you have a situation right now where, you know, the Bidens have received millions of dollars from Putin linked oligarchs who are now facing sanction by the Biden administration and Hunter Biden on the laptop.

00:23:22.280 There's a video of him.

00:23:23.460 This was released.

00:23:24.360 This was the one with him with the girl.

00:23:26.600 He's sort of talking to the girl.

00:23:28.920 And one of the things he says to the to the girl who's presumably Russian is that he's afraid that he's compromised to Russian organized crime.

00:23:39.020 That's one of the things that he actually says in the video.

00:23:41.740 And, you know, if you look at who has put money in his pocket, Yelena Bacirina, for example, the former of the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, our State Department, actually meaning the Obama State Department at the time, declared that Yelena Bacirina was linked to Russian organized crime.

00:23:58.540 So there's one thread that can be pulled against the Bidens.

00:24:03.380 Then you look at Ukraine.

00:24:04.840 And of course, what is happening there by Russia is horrible.

00:24:08.660 This is I think we've known who Vladimir Putin has always been.

00:24:13.820 This should not be a surprise, but there are entanglements in Ukraine as well.

00:24:18.100 I mean, Zelensky is being absolutely heroic.

00:24:21.340 But let's be clear who put Zelensky in power.

00:24:25.040 It was a Ukrainian oligarch named Kolomoisky.

00:24:27.840 Kolomoisky was also one of the owners of Burisma, which is the company that was paying millions of dollars to Hunter Biden.

00:24:35.220 So you've got conflict upon conflict.

00:24:37.840 And then, of course, you've got the China ties.

00:24:40.640 And China now has positioned itself to actually benefit from the sanctions we are putting on Russia, because the way Russia is going to evade sanctions is by selling energy to China.

00:24:52.760 So it is an absolute mess.

00:24:55.300 And it highlights why we have to be so concerned when our foreign leaders have these entanglements, because at a time of crisis like this, the notion that Joe Biden is not factoring in that his son and his family's reputation and his reputation could be severely damaged by any one of these foreign actors revealing facts and information is ludicrous.

00:25:19.140 Of course, of course, he's calculating that.

00:25:21.000 And that's part of the problem.

00:25:22.480 So, well, I mean, if anything came out from Russia, he would just say disinformation and he'd say the same thing for about China.

00:25:31.040 And there are those who would want to believe that, you know, Roger Ailes said something to me when I first started at Fox.

00:25:38.020 And I said, Barack Obama is lying. 1.00

00:25:41.020 He is a liar. 0.98

00:25:43.100 And I was called into Roger's office and he said, don't say that. 0.99

00:25:45.900 And I said, it's true.

00:25:48.600 He was lying about this.

00:25:50.380 I have the tape of him saying this and then the tape of him lying about it.

00:25:54.500 He said, yeah, but nobody wants to think of their president as a liar.

00:26:00.000 Nobody wants to think of that. 0.94

00:26:01.380 It's too ugly.

00:26:04.020 And and I think he was right.

00:26:06.920 And so there are a lot of people that they they they don't want to look at this.

00:26:11.900 And the press is happy to oblige.

00:26:14.840 So it does the press. 0.98

00:26:17.560 I mean, they're still making it about, you know, the sex and the disgusting parties and photos of him having sex with everything that moves. 0.95

00:26:26.860 They're making that into the story. 0.96

00:26:29.420 That's not the story.

00:26:30.960 The story is the compromise of the president of the United States.

00:26:35.840 Is anybody going to report on this, Peter?

00:26:39.040 I think I think they will.

00:26:42.140 And I say that for a couple of reasons, Glenn.

00:26:44.600 First of all, I think what you're starting to see is elements of the Democratic establishment are starting to turn on Joe Biden.

00:26:52.680 They see that his approval ratings are way down.

00:26:57.420 They see that he's not popular.

00:26:58.960 And I think they recognize that he's not probably going to be in any condition to run for reelection.

00:27:04.340 If he did run for reelection, he would soundly lose.

00:27:08.380 And of course, they have the Kamala Harris problem. 1.00

00:27:10.600 But I do think that the Democratic establishment sees Joe Biden as a net negative increasingly.

00:27:17.560 So out of political expediency, they're going to try to maneuver in such a way that casts him aside.

00:27:24.780 I think the second thing, though, that's going on is the media.

00:27:29.460 The media is now one of the least trusted institutions in America.

00:27:34.680 There was a recent survey.

00:27:36.580 I think it was Pew, but I'm not sure that said the media's approval rating is actually lower than Congress.

00:27:42.780 I think that's in the teens.

00:27:47.740 That takes some doing.

00:27:48.380 Yeah, exactly.

00:27:49.460 It takes some doing.

00:27:50.380 So, you know, look, there is my experience is there are reporters in the so-called mainstream media that want to cover these stories.

00:27:57.500 The problem is with the editors and the managers, and they have to be at some level deeply embarrassed about this because people that read their paper don't actually know what's going on.

00:28:09.320 And the divide between reality and what they're reporting is getting larger and larger.

00:28:14.520 So I get accused of being overly optimistic, but I do feel like there are several trends that are moving in the direction of this being exposed by the media.

00:28:23.700 That would be that would be nice.

00:28:25.120 You know, I was just thinking as you were talking about the reality of this actually coming to light and the president, you know, losing his gig over this.

00:28:36.280 If I were planning to destroy America, there couldn't be a better way to do it than to run a president through an impeachment trial while a country was at war.

00:28:49.360 God forbid we go into war and we have to remove the president because you can't have a compromised president.

00:28:57.640 I mean, you're going to go to Kamala Harris.

00:29:00.520 What a nightmare.

00:29:01.480 But can you imagine what our allies would think if I mean, they think he's weak now.

00:29:08.040 Can you imagine a impeachment trial going on at the same time?

00:29:13.640 Welcome back with Peter Swiser, the author of the book Red Handed.

00:29:18.200 He shows how not just the Bidens, but everybody is selling us out in Washington to the Chinese. 1.00

00:29:24.440 Peter, can you talk for a second about the influence operation from China and how it works?

00:29:29.180 Yeah, it's a brilliant strategy.

00:29:32.820 You have to give the Chinese Communist Party credit.

00:29:35.860 It's a strategy they call elite capture.

00:29:38.860 And the idea is, you know, we don't want to go toe to toe with the United States.

00:29:42.500 We want to defeat them.

00:29:43.640 We want to surpass them.

00:29:45.240 They really do view us as an enemy at minimum as a rival.

00:29:49.380 But rather than go head to head with our dynamic economy, the best in the world military or a country that has all this cultural appeal around the world, we're just going to buy off their leaders.

00:29:59.720 If we can buy off enough of their political class by giving them sweetheart deals in China, making them rich, binding them to us, we will then succeed in what we want, which is effectively lobotomizing the West.

00:30:13.180 And they're open about this.

00:30:14.460 They talk about this.

00:30:15.520 And they're not looking for America's leaders to be robots that are going to sing the praises of Marx and Lenin.

00:30:21.780 What they're looking for is a phrase translated to English that roughly means big help with a little bad mouth.

00:30:30.020 So, in other words, if Joe Biden criticizes the United States for the Uyghur, sorry, criticizes China for the treatment of the Uyghurs or their human rights situation, they don't have a problem with that.

00:30:40.520 What they want is to make sure they have unfettered access to our technology and to our capital markets, that there are very few tariffs put on any of their imported goods.

00:30:51.520 And if we do that as political leaders, then they are going to be happy and we will be doing their bidding.

00:30:58.160 And it's working very, very well.

00:31:00.040 And it has been now for more than a decade.

00:31:02.100 We're finding out now that China is working on their own digital currency.

00:31:06.980 They're in bed loosely at this point with Russia.

00:31:11.140 They look at Russia and India and Saudi Arabia as possible partners in this new world order.

00:31:20.580 Who loses in this?

00:31:23.260 Them or us?

00:31:24.840 Or is it equal?

00:31:26.020 We do.

00:31:26.900 We do.

00:31:27.680 I think we lose enormously.

00:31:29.800 And I don't mean we just as a government or as a national power.

00:31:33.680 We as average citizens.

00:31:34.700 Because we get huge benefits, Glenn.

00:31:36.820 You've talked about this on the show.

00:31:38.300 We accrue huge benefits from the U.S. dollar being basically the reserve currency of the world.

00:31:43.820 Yeah, it's over.

00:31:44.700 Yeah.

00:31:45.240 Yeah.

00:31:45.620 And China is changing that.

00:31:47.160 And I hate to say it as much as I agree with the sanctions policy.

00:31:53.420 The sanctions are pushing the world towards the Chinese currency.

00:31:56.920 Yeah.

00:31:57.280 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck Program.

00:32:03.760 Rabbi Yitzhak Alderstein, welcome.

00:32:23.160 It's great to be here.

00:32:24.460 And I'm a little shocked by your intro.

00:32:26.200 Well, you sat in my office six years ago.

00:32:30.020 Right.

00:32:30.560 And you shocked me because you said, I'd like to ask you to, I appreciate what you've said about Jews and anti-Semitism, but I'd like you to concentrate a little bit more on the Christians because they're coming for you guys first this time. 0.99

00:32:48.480 And that shocked me, and I know who you are, and I respect you and your opinion, and I put that into practice.

00:32:58.100 And we have been all over the world trying to save any persecuted religious minority that is coming under fire because you're right.

00:33:12.140 I mean, it's going to be all of us.

00:33:14.040 And now you come to me, and it's interesting because now you're saying, okay, maybe it's time.

00:33:21.980 This is what I'm least reading in your visit.

00:33:24.860 Maybe it's time to also start really talking about the Jews because we're at a critical stage.

00:33:31.600 It's getting bad.

00:33:33.080 It is.

00:33:34.660 I'll stand by what I told you six years ago that the most endangered religious minority today is Christians and Christianity. 0.99

00:33:45.040 Those are the people who venture out of their houses and sometimes within their houses and getting picked off.

00:33:50.800 Look what's going on in Nigeria, really, and a whole swath of territory from Western Africa all the way through.

00:33:57.480 It's happening in China, too.

00:33:58.240 China.

00:33:59.340 They're rewriting the Bible.

00:34:01.300 I mean, you would probably know this.

00:34:03.060 It took the churches in Germany about six months before they started taking Hitler's advice on maybe the Old Testament is a little too Jewish, so we should drop that.

00:34:14.600 That's crazy when people hear that, they don't believe it, but that's what China is doing right now.

00:34:22.320 They're rewriting the Bible.

00:34:24.920 And there are so many people who think that you can actually get away with that.

00:34:28.720 You know, the Soviet persecution of all religious minorities, 70 years, and yet in 2006, a poll in Russia, this is post-Iron Curtain Russia, showed that 84% of Russians claimed they believed in God.

00:34:45.900 How does that happen?

00:34:47.340 And some people think that that's surprising, but it's not because people really can't live without God.

00:34:54.580 Some of them, unfortunately, don't realize it, but without God, our societies are not stable.

00:35:00.320 Our families are not stable.

00:35:01.760 That's what's happening here in America.

00:35:03.100 You bet.

00:35:03.800 That's what's happening.

00:35:04.980 So can we talk about Ukraine just a little bit?

00:35:08.900 I thought of, I actually thought of you the other day when I was watching Ukraine and I thought, for the first time, for the first time, really, Jews are escaping a country, not because of persecution, but because the Russians are coming, and they have a place to go.

00:35:30.860 They have a place to go, Israel, where nobody can stop them from going there. 0.96

00:35:36.940 Once they get out of the country, they don't have to worry about what country is going to take me.

00:35:40.700 That's a miracle.

00:35:42.700 That's a huge change.

00:35:45.120 In fact, Natan Sharansky, the iconic figure of resistance to Soviet Russia, said when he grew up in Ukraine, there were lots of nationalities.

00:35:55.620 Everyone got along.

00:35:57.180 Everybody was equal, except for one group. 1.00

00:35:59.440 If you had Jew on your identity card, you took a lot of garbage. 1.00

00:36:04.900 It meant you didn't get into schools, you didn't get jobs. 0.99

00:36:07.380 And he said, look at God's revenge.

00:36:09.820 Today, it's the opposite.

00:36:11.720 The pictures are horrifying.

00:36:14.080 The people are crossing the border, no idea where they go next.

00:36:17.820 And one group has the privilege of knowing that they have family around the world.

00:36:23.560 There was a time that Christians felt like they were all one big family.

00:36:26.960 And we've lost so much of that.

00:36:28.580 What so because the president of Ukraine, who's Jewish, said, you know, Israel, you got to help us out here.

00:36:37.240 Look at what we've done.

00:36:38.660 Look what we've done in the past for Jews.

00:36:41.140 And now I'm a student of history. 0.98

00:36:44.040 Maybe not that good of a student of history because Ukraine was a killing field for Jews. 1.00

00:36:51.480 Right?

00:36:52.520 World War II.

00:36:53.440 Absolutely.

00:36:54.120 It goes back a lot further than World War II, 17th century.

00:36:57.080 Essentially, the founder of Ukraine, Bogdan Klimnitsky, killed more than half of all the Jews in the Ukraine.

00:37:05.600 My God.

00:37:05.880 300 communities totally decimated.

00:37:08.620 In World War II, everybody knows about Babi Yar when Ukrainians watched while the Nazis and eager Ukrainian volunteers massacred, shot all those people and put them in that massive ravine while they were eating ice cream and watching.

00:37:27.840 So they're saying that, you know, we're you know, we're supporting them because because they're good country, good people, et cetera, et cetera.

00:37:37.460 And we deny the existence of the Nazis, but we help train those people during the right after the the last the last revolution. 0.88

00:37:49.680 This guy now, the president, is a Jew. 0.99

00:37:53.700 The Nazis do exist, but it's not like the Nazis. 0.68

00:37:58.020 It's a small group.

00:37:59.120 Or are there is there a real problem of Nazis there? 0.79

00:38:02.340 It's a it's it's a small group.

00:38:04.400 The people in the Ukraine, Jews in the Ukraine report that they have grown up without any feeling of anti-Semitism.

00:38:12.780 They feel it may be there beneath the surface, but it's there in every country, including the United States.

00:38:18.800 And critics will point to the Azov group, which is a paramilitary group with ties in to neo-Nazi groups.

00:38:26.340 But then on the other side, you got the Wagner group, Putin's own paramilitary private army name that is equally named named Wagner.

00:38:37.300 I mean, I love people saying it's Wagner.

00:38:39.380 No, it's Wagner.

00:38:40.880 It's Wagner named after the composer Hitler's favorite composer.

00:38:45.480 But at the same time, we do have to appreciate the fact that the vast, vast majority of people streaming out of Ukraine today are innocent people who are not tied in to whatever their grandparents did.

00:38:58.900 These are older people, younger people whose lives have been disrupted overnight.

00:39:03.960 They certainly, certainly require and should be getting our sympathy.

00:39:07.860 I am, I'm concerned, well, before we leave Ukraine, there's another controversy, and that controversy is the Iron Dome.

00:39:17.840 Israel will not give the Iron Dome to Ukraine.

00:39:21.560 How do you respond to that?

00:39:24.500 You know, I live in Jerusalem, in the valley just below my home, there's an Iron Dome installation.

00:39:31.260 In the Gaza war last spring, we essentially ran out of Iron Dome missiles.

00:39:40.820 We had to be resupplied.

00:39:42.900 You know, a couple of our friends on the squad were against resupplying us.

00:39:48.360 People forget that Israel lives with existential angst every day.

00:39:54.240 There are people out to destroy us, not the least of which is in Iran, which is benefiting from this war because somehow our administration is so bent on signing a counterproductive treaty that is not going to do anything other than release billions of dollars to them. 0.89

00:40:18.280 Israel needs Iron Dome, it would do relatively little in a country as vast and as big as Ukraine.

00:40:26.440 Iron Dome is meant for small areas where you know the direction of incoming missiles, not the kind of really modern missiles that Russia is lobbying in, including hypersonic weapons, and where a vast border means that they can come from any direction at all.

00:40:44.760 So, let's talk about the Iranian deal.

00:40:50.320 This is horrifying to me, horrifying.

00:40:54.800 I mean, we were making such progress in the Middle East under Donald Trump, and that's all gone.

00:41:03.920 And now we've hacked off Saudi Arabia by doing this deal.

00:41:09.340 They're not happy with us.

00:41:11.080 In fact, they're not even returning our president's phone call.

00:41:13.600 And I think that Israel is going to have to respond when this deal is done, because we are allowing the Russians to come in and build more plants for them.

00:41:27.400 This is insanity.

00:41:28.940 Add to that the fact that Americans and most of the all the free world sees what one madman can do, the kind of devastation that he can rain down upon people if there's nothing holding him back.

00:41:42.520 Now, add to that, in Iran, where you have, in addition to that, religious fervor.

00:41:49.920 People who are not afraid of absorbing nuclear bombs because it's part of the mission.

00:41:55.840 It'll bring the 11th imam.

00:41:58.760 Yes.

00:41:59.520 Those who are part of that 12-er sect are terrifying. 1.00

00:42:04.460 And the average person in Iran might not be.

00:42:06.620 But, America, think of it this way.

00:42:09.920 Are you for the things that are going on in Washington?

00:42:12.820 Are you like, yeah, that's what I voted for.

00:42:14.980 They listen to me.

00:42:16.600 Imagine in Iran. 0.99

00:42:18.020 You don't have any say on what they're doing.

00:42:21.700 It could be a crazy sect at the top, which it is, that believe we're going to hasten the return of the promised one.

00:42:29.140 And one high-ranking official, I don't remember his name, a couple of years ago said, Israel is a one-bomb country.

00:42:36.520 I mean, we can finish it off with just one well-placed nuclear weapon.

00:42:41.560 But in Iran, we'll absorb a few. 0.99

00:42:44.220 Well, here's what the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander-in-chief, General Hossein Salami, said yesterday in Iran.

00:42:56.400 Iran's enemies, such as Israel and the United States, have an expiration date as the new world order is upon us. 0.99

00:43:06.580 That's a little frightening.

00:43:08.780 Just a little.

00:43:10.280 Just a little.

00:43:11.040 All right, I want to take a quick break, and then I want to ask you, because you did something, is it the ladder or the rungs of anti-Semitism?

00:43:19.660 And I have been concerned seeing this grow overseas, but it is growing in a great number of people who are our neighbors, but I don't think they even understand it as anti-Semitism.

00:43:35.400 And I want to talk to you about those rungs and what they are, the four rungs of anti-Semitism.

00:43:39.900 Do I have it right?

00:43:40.420 You got it.

00:43:41.040 Yeah, four rungs of anti-Semitism.

00:43:42.920 We'll go there here in just a second.

00:43:45.140 So, sitting in my studio is the Director of Interfaith Affairs at the Simon Wiesenthal Center.

00:43:51.420 His name is Rabbi Yitzhak Alderstein, and it's a pleasure to have you here.

00:43:56.980 Thank you.

00:43:57.300 So, let's talk about what's happening first in Europe.

00:44:05.660 How bad is it getting in Europe?

00:44:08.920 Anti-Semitism.

00:44:09.640 Yes.

00:44:09.940 It's pretty bad. 0.74

00:44:13.220 Jews are not so comfortable walking around in the street with anything identifying them as Jews.

00:44:19.420 It's not true of everyone, of course, but people are increasingly conscious of it.

00:44:24.620 The attacks on religious institutions, something we've never talked about in the United States, how many churches are burnt a year in France.

00:44:35.040 But it's worse with synagogues. 1.00

00:44:36.640 My grandchildren in Berlin attend a school where they are guarded by German police, which is kind of ironic.

00:44:49.380 And when you have a continent where people stated years ago that the single biggest threat to peace is not Iran, not China, but Israel, then you know something is going on beneath the surface.

00:45:10.440 Europeans never liked Jews too much to begin with.

00:45:13.840 It's not like the United States, and things are getting bad.

00:45:17.440 The United States, though, I think, is, I mean, policy-wise, I don't know what our friendship is with Israel, or it seems to be a little anti-Semitic on the left now.

00:45:31.840 In fact, a lot on anti-Semitic on the left and anti-Semitic lighter, if you will, in the Democratic Party.

00:45:40.900 There still is a lot of bipartisan support of Israel.

00:45:44.940 Perhaps the threat to that is that so many young people are listening not to anything Jewish, but to what they hear from professors on campus, that they've swallowed the whole theory out there that the Jews are the last colonialist power conceived in sin, and the world will not be a safe place until we get rid of it.

00:46:10.360 That's crazy.

00:46:12.360 It is, you know, it is, I never understood, I'm going to get to those four rungs here in a second, but I never understood how Jewish people could live in Germany with all of the things that were being done led up to just the mass slaughter.

00:46:30.600 And how they would always say, yeah, but it's not going to get better, it's not going to get worse than this, it's not going to get worse than this.

00:46:36.620 And how so many people said, look, I'm a patriot of this country, they're not going to do that to me.

00:46:41.680 I never understood it until recently.

00:46:44.540 Because some of the same things are being said about Christians and people who vote differently.

00:46:51.120 They're saying crazy things, but you're like, yeah, but that will never happen here.

00:46:57.220 And there's this disconnect.

00:46:59.640 There's this like this, I don't know where the bridge is, but there's a bridge somewhere to where that becomes real.

00:47:08.000 And I don't know what the last signs are.

00:47:10.820 I don't know what it is that makes you go, you know, I don't think I should be here.

00:47:15.740 Do you know what I'm saying?

00:47:17.380 Absolutely.

00:47:18.260 Can you help me with that?

00:47:19.480 Well, of course, there's a human reticence to believe that their whole world and everything that they stood for could fall apart.

00:47:30.780 So you avoid even listening to news that works in that direction.

00:47:36.160 But I don't know how many more years Jews have in America, how many years Americans have in America. 0.96

00:47:44.800 That is terribly frightening.

00:47:49.480 Yeah, here's what we're seeing.

00:47:51.360 It's something that I want to seem to be trying to do, you know, to things that areernically fishing passes.

00:47:55.220 But I don't know how many of my kids can be hanging out.

00:47:56.260 You don't know how many things happen here.

00:47:56.900 But Australians love in that time.

00:47:57.580 It actually depends on your fan's side, but I don't know where you're done at a time because I don't even know where you're hereriminate.

00:48:02.940 So you look hard to appear, you can train a little bit more, because of them.

00:48:07.860 At the time, with accessibility of auto, Liz, I don't remember any one that has peaked, which I felt like, ,
