Hello, podcasters.

What an exciting Monday.

I mean, the show started off,

you know,

it sure did in a scappy way that I don't think any broadcaster has ever really done before.

Well, I did did hear almost the exact same break on Rush

just the other day.

Other than that,

you do a different show.

Yeah, and this is an uplifting way to come out of the week.

This is something that you've probably never heard anybody do

and mean it.

You know, I'm sure people have done it in a parody sort of way, but we meant it.

You don't want to miss that.

Also, we have

Sweiser in today.

He's fantastic.

He wrote The Clinton Cash and all of these deep state books.

He's a guy who consulted NBC for a while.

He was a respected journalist, and then he started writing about Democrats.

And now, of course, he's an idiot.

But he has a brand new documentary out.

We're going to get it.

Called Riding the Dragon.

I got it.

You're listening to

the best of the Glenbeck program.

I want to play some audio before we start with Pat.

I'd just like to get your opinion on this.

This came to me from a listener in New York that said

they were just, you know, going to church and they thought everything was fine.

Until the priest did this, listen.

I now invite you to stand and join in us in the prayer for racial justice by responding yes to each of the following statements.

Do you support racial justice, equity, and compassion

in human relations?

Yes.

Do you affirm that white privilege is unfair and harmful to those who have it and to those who do not?

Yes.

Do you affirm that white privilege and the culture of white supremacy must be dismantled wherever it is present?

I don't agree that there is that culture.

Do you support racial equity, justice and liberation for every person?

Can I change your question?

You affirm the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

Of course.

Yes.

Therefore, from this day forward,

Will you strive to understand more deeply the injustice and suffering white privilege and white supremacy cause?

Oh, good gosh.

Yes.

Oh, I mean, will you commit to help transform our church culture to one that is actively engaged in seeking racial justice and equity for all

church cultures.

Am I going to find another

great

people with the same respect you expect to receive?

This is this

America.

Wake up.

Catholics

wake up.

That is a Catholic church in New York.

And not New York City,

Catholic church in New York.

And this goes to,

remember the hell that was unleashed on me when I said, if you have a church that talks about social justice, run for your lives.

Oh, yeah.

And I corrected it by saying, I understand that Catholics have social justice from the 1800s that doesn't mean the same thing.

However,

many

interpret it as the same today.

And so you better

know which social justice you're on because one is collective.

That's the collective right there.

And if you're in a church like that, you have got to stand up and clean out your own church or find a new one.

But you are in danger.

You are in danger.

When our churches start to preach this from the pulpit, when they won't speak out about the loss of freedom,

they are on the wrong side.

I'm just talking about this from the perspective of extreme leftism, where I have to accept all the white privilege nonsense.

I'm not going to.

I'm sorry.

I don't.

I don't either.

I don't.

I don't.

I'm not going to accept your premise.

So you need to change the question a little bit.

Do I want anybody to suffer prejudice or discrimination?

Absolutely not.

No, I don't.

Will I work for the rest of my life to make sure that we are fair?

Yes.

And we are equal?

Yes.

Not equal in ending, not equal as

my sin is my father's sin and is your sin.

No.

No.

I'm not equal in that.

I didn't have slaves.

And neither, for that matter, did any of my ancestors.

Neither did any of my ancestors.

Or yours.

My ancestors fought for the North to end slavery.

One died and one never recovered from it.

I mean, hello.

Yeah, it's...

But you're white, so you're responsible for it.

That is legitimately

jammed down our throats right now.

Oh, but there's there's uh there's more.

Um, here's a DC rioter uh

talking about what he's ready to do for the police and to the White House and to Congress.

Listen to this: I'm at the point where I'm ready to put these police in a grave.

I'm at the point where

I want to burn the White House down.

Burn the White House down.

British will 18.

I want to take it to the Congress.

I want to take it to the Congress.

Okay.

I want to take the fight to them.

Ah, fight.

And at the end of the day,

if they ain't going to hear us, we burn them the fing down.

Okay.

Is that the same guy that said he was going to drag Trump out of the White House and not wait for the election?

Is that the same?

I don't.

Because there was another guy that was saying he's going to drag Trump.

Maybe you're thinking about

Beto Aurora.

Did you hear what he said this weekend?

I didn't.

Listen to this.

All of us understand it's not up to Donald Trump or any person, any one person in this country, as to whether or not the results are accepted in the election.

But let's go into this eyes wide open.

If this election is close, and even if Joe Biden has lawfully won both the popular vote and the Electoral College vote, make no mistake, Donald Trump will do everything he can to try to create chaos and confusion about the results and then probably seek to invalidate them with his attorney general, both of whom, Donald Trump and William Barr, have talked about mail-in ballots being fraudulent, though we know that the truth is

it is one of the safest, most secure results.

20 is not true.

20% are.

May not accept the results, but who gives a s because the rest of the country will be forced to.

The rest of the country will be forced to live with the results?

What does that mean?

I don't even know what that means.

I don't know.

It's Betto.

He probably doesn't even know what that means.

But that was an interesting.

I thought maybe that's what you were talking about.

And of course, the

rioter that was killed in the riots in

Portland this weekend.

Of course, he wasn't a

rioter.

There wasn't a riot.

There wasn't even a fight.

This was an execution of a Trump supporter.

And

I think the audio proves it.

Listen to what's being said here.

Everybody needs to realize what's going on in this.

Our community.

Our community can hold its own without the police.

We can take out the trash on our own.

We can take out the trash on our own.

I'm not sad a fascist died tonight.

How vile is that?

We can take out the trash ourselves.

Now, the audio, I don't know, do we have the audio of the actual shooting where the

rioters, the Black Lives Matter people, are heard saying, we got one.

We got one right here.

Where?

Right here.

Boom.

What did they have?

They had two Trump supporters.

As if they were hunting for Trump supporters.

Found a couple right here.

Found a couple right here.

And then you hear the gunshots.

It's amazing.

It's unbelievable.

This is an execution.

Remember when I said this would be the summer?

And I've said it for the last, well, I said it in 16, didn't I?

Probably.

16 and then this year.

Just took a little while.

You've always said you're a little off on timing.

Yeah, I'm always off on timing.

But here it is.

Yeah, this is 68.

This is...

If not worse than 68.

Well, we haven't gotten to the political assassinations yet, but I believe this is the threshold.

This is the beginning of that now.

We saw what happened.

That video of people going home from the White House

on the

Paul and his wife, unbelievable.

Terrifying.

Not just Rand Paul.

Did you watch video after video after video?

Yeah.

That one girl with the skull and crossbones on her hat that is just, did you see that one where she's following several couples, just screaming at them the whole time?

I hope this

wakes everybody up because it's amazing to me that they thought they were going to have a situation where they could let people walk out of that speech and walk to hotel rooms afterward.

Yeah.

A lot of people are waking up in these circles because

something

really bad is going to happen one of these days.

So people are dangerous.

One of my relatives

has very good friends in New York, a lot of good friends in New York, young friends.

And

this person is not a Trump Trump supporter,

not a Biden supporter either, just not a Trump supporter, doesn't like Donald Trump.

She told me that she was online with some friends, and her friends are now starting to share how to build guillotines.

And they thought it was funny what was being done in front of Jeff Bezos' house.

And she said,

This is,

you're not making a statement here other than

behead this guy because he's rich.

When did you guys

when did you guys slip into the dark side without knowing it?

And the French Revolution, right?

And that is the choice: the American Revolution or the French Revolution.

And what did the French Revolution lack?

What was it that Thomas Paine was trying to?

He was condemned here in America for the rest of his life.

He was buried in a pauper's grave because he was misunderstood.

He was not

an atheist.

He was against religion.

He had a problem with organized religion.

He was not an atheist.

And I have his own letter to prove it.

But he was not an atheist.

What he said was, to Ben Franklin and

John Adams, He wrote a letter and he said, what are you guys doing to me?

What are you doing to me?

I was there.

I saw the miracles.

I know that God exists.

I'm against religion.

These people are against God.

I'm trying to appeal to them and say, yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't need the church.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right.

We don't need the church.

But the church isn't God.

This is the argument we're having right now.

And people are saying, you don't need God.

God is bad.

No, you know what?

The churches churches have gone bad from time to time.

Some of the churches are bad.

Some of the churches are great.

But God remains the same.

And if we don't have God, we go the...

I mean, I can't believe.

Well, look how that revolution went.

I know.

Not only did they kill

all of the royalty, then they started killing the leaders of their own movement.

Yes, right.

And they're already suffering.

You don't think that they will come after

the left itself?

They're already doing it.

They're already doing it.

If you don't toe the line, you're a traitor.

I mean,

it's exactly the same.

And I can't believe how many people have been duped by the Trojan horse.

You know what the Trojan horse is in America?

The real and actual plight

of the black man in America.

The actual plight, the actual things that are real problems.

The Trojan horse is

the

big bad policeman.

And they're wheeling this sacrifice up.

They're wheeling this thing up to us and saying, look at the poor men that have been abused by the big bad police.

Inside is nothing but a death cult.

You can't let that through your gates.

And it's being wheeled into our churches.

It's being wheeled into our communities.

It's being wheeled into our schools.

You cannot, it's a Trojan horse.

Black Lives Matter.

I just going to put the square up.

Don't put that square up.

Don't do it.

Do all Black Lives Matter?

Yes, they do.

But when you say Black Lives Matter, you are endorsing Black Lives Matter Incorporated, and it is an incorporation.

Look it up, it's an entity

and the biggest Trojan horse that I've ever seen.

And just like everybody, if that actually happened, there had to be a bunch of people standing around going, Have we checked what's inside that thing?

Yeah.

No, it's a gift.

You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.

Peter Schweizer is with us right now.

How are you?

Great to be here, Glenn.

Thanks for having me.

Great to have you.

Peter, I tell you,

you must feel very, very alone.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's, you know, it's interesting.

And I mean, we've talked about this before.

I mean, you sometimes

in the past and in the present will talk about something, and it's sort of ahead of its time.

Yeah.

We first started talking about the Bidens and China back in 2018 when I wrote a book called Secret Empires.

Came here to Dallas and talked with you.

You know, it got a lot of attention.

We hit number one on the New York Times list, but it basically was ignored by the major media.

It was ignored in Washington, D.C.

And part of the problem is there are other people in Washington, D.C.

that have deals with the Chinese as well.

But we're now at a point where Joe Biden is the Democratic nominee.

He wants to be president of the United States.

And the single biggest financial tie that his family enjoys is with the foreign government of China.

Not a foreign company, not an American company in China, the foreign government of China.

And it seems to me that in an America where if a congressman owns $10,000 of GE stock, they have to disclose it.

Yes.

We should be interested in that, especially when you're talking about the size and the scope of the deals that the Bidens enjoy.

So to me, it's a central part of the conversation we need to be having right now.

And it's amazing to me that

Joe Biden could say, come on, man,

they're not a competitor.

They're not a worry to us.

And what we're talking about here in America is

a movement run by Marxists.

And it's in the street crying out for a new system and a Marxist system.

We know now that countries who have opposed us have infiltrated and have

China in particular poured money into our universities.

Right.

Poured money into our universities.

And

have have come out and now

said,

you know, we're not a threat.

They're pouring money into there.

They're pouring money into politics.

And that's a Marxist,

quasi, you know,

capitalist state.

It's a

hybrid of private and public corporations.

Right.

And nobody is tying this together.

Nobody is saying, wait a minute, is Joe Biden part of this Trojan horse?

You know, it's a great question.

Here's what we know, Glenn.

We know that Joe Biden is essentially on an island by himself.

In most people in Washington, D.C.

that talk about China.

And

I put Barack Obama in a different category.

Barack Obama has said China is a threat to the United States.

We need to see China as a rising power that's going to challenge our interests.

Those are not things that Joe Biden says.

That's what's so remarkable about this.

In the film, when you see the beginning of the film, you have sort of a collage of people left, right, and center.

I tell you, it is so powerful.

You're hearing four minutes of everybody, literally everybody on all sides of the political aisle saying China is a threat.

China is a real threat.

It's the threat to our economy.

It's a threat to our nation.

It's a real threat.

And then, come on, man.

Yeah.

And he said it repeatedly.

I mean, there's the famous come on man, but he has said for years, we welcome the rise of China.

Yeah.

You know, we think a rising China is good for America.

He is on an island island by himself.

And so what we try to do with the film, Glenn, is answer the question, why?

Why is Joe Biden so far on an island when it comes to this issue compared to Barack Obama?

One of the people in the opening collage is Ben Rhodes, the former national security advisor, saying China's a much bigger problem than Russia is.

The question is, why?

And you can look at Joe Biden's record.

And, you know, Joe Biden is a guy that tends to shift with the winds.

We all have seen that in his 40-year 40-year career.

But to me, there is that fundamental question of he became much more soft on Beijing when his son started getting very lucrative, exclusive deals, courtesy of the Chinese government.

And you have to ask yourself, I mean, if we're worried about and talk about, as we should, you know, Wall Street fundraisers for politicians, we talk about big tech fundraisers for politicians, we better darn well be concerned about a foreign government making a presidential candidate's family wealthy through cutout deals that they have no qualifications to get.

You know, people say that, you know, I think it's, what is it, 60% of those of Democrats still believe that Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians.

Right.

60% still believe that, and it's proven to be false.

Right.

This is true.

And no one in the Democratic Party and many in the Republican Party don't seem to really care all that much that

there are massive amounts of money being transferred into the Biden coffers by China.

Forget collusion.

This is, you know, this is worse.

That was about collusion with Russia.

That's about winning the election so you can be president.

This is about just enriching yourself.

Right.

I mean, exactly.

It's even less honorable than the most dishonorable thing you could do.

Well, that's exactly right.

And but I think an important point to add to that, Glenn, and we talk about this in the film, is this is not just the case of the Bidens getting wealthy and the Chinese, you know, kind of laughing and saying this is great.

When you look at the deals that Hunter Biden did, and we go through this in the film in detail, when you look at the deals that he was involved in with the Chinese, these were private equity deals where the Chinese government financed private equity deals.

Hunter Biden was on the board of the firm.

His business partner was the vice chairman of the firm.

What did that firm do with all that Chinese government money?

They ended up buying companies and doing commercial deals that benefited the Chinese militarily.

And I don't say that loosely.

What did they do?

They bought a Michigan-based company called Hennegas that produces precision machine tools, anti-vibration technologies.

Everybody recognizes, including the federal government, it's dual use.

You can use it on civilian things like cars.

You can also use it on military capabilities.

Like

stealth planes.

Absolutely.

Things that we do not want people to have the ability to do.

Exactly.

So here you have the sitting vice president's son involved with a Chinese-funded firm and a Chinese firm that buys a machine tool company in the United States that ends up benefiting the Chinese militarily in the technology space.

But it's more than that.

It's not just that he happens to.

This is a company the Chinese military wanted to acquire.

Exactly.

Couldn't acquire

because of the laws.

And then when Biden gets involved, all of a sudden, there's no one standing in the way.

What happened to the oversight from the United States government on that?

Right, exactly.

It goes through a process called CIFIAS, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States.

Well, who sits on the CIFIAS board at the time?

That's Joe Biden's friends.

And, you know, the Chinese are very shrewd about this.

I think they calculated pretty early on: if we try to do these deals and we don't have the camouflage of a prominent family attached to these deals, we're going to have a very hard time getting these deals approved.

So you have the Hennegas deal.

You have this incredible situation.

We've talked about it before, but has not been picked up by the media.

That one of the things that Hunter Biden's firm does is they invest in a company called CGN, China General Nuclear.

They invest in it.

They're an anchor investor in it.

And what happens?

About eight months after they invest in it, CGN, the same firm that now the vice president's son is part owner of,

is charged by the FBI of stealing nuclear secrets in the United States.

Nuclear secrets tied to small reactors that are used in U.S.

submarines.

The Chinese don't have a nuclear capability with submarines, but they're a step closer now, courtesy of CGN, a firm that the vice president's son was an anchor investor in.

It's astonishing.

It's not only that, and there's not a surprise there for the Bidens.

There was no surprise there because they were charged months later.

Yeah.

But

the vice president and his son had to have known that that firm was being investigated by the FBI for

divulging state secrets.

Yeah,

that firm, engineers connected to that firm had been spying on the United States for like 19 years.

So it's not a question of was CGN a sketchy company that the FBI was looking at?

They absolutely were.

And as you point out, it's the charges that came eight months later.

And the point is, you know, do we really think that the Bidens are naive enough to believe that if you're going to invest in a Chinese nuclear firm, that there's not going to be a military component to it.

I mean, the entire Chinese economy, especially under President Xi, is geared towards every technology being dual use, whether it's artificial intelligence, whether it's a new energy propulsion system.

Everything is deemed to be dual use.

That is, use it for civilian purposes and for military purposes.

So would you, would you, when we come back, I want to take a one-minute break.

And

I don't know if you're prepared to do this, but I would love you to explain how the chinese system works uh over there because we just we've been

trying the people try to convince us that oh no this is a good you know capitalist no it's not right it's nothing yeah like a free market exactly and i'd like you to go into that when we come back there is a new video out it came out today riding the dragon the biden's chinese secrets it's playing now on blazetv.com slash dragon if you're not a member make sure you use what is is it, big tech?

This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.

And I was telling my daughter

last night, who

is

much more of

a New Yorker, I think, than the rest of the family.

And she was, we were talking last night, and I said, you really have to watch the convention.

I'm going to send you clips.

Watch the convention.

And she said, I don't think I need to see it.

And I said, you do.

I said, for the first time, I felt there was real honesty at a GOP convention.

And not from the politicians.

I don't trust the politicians when they get up and say things.

I mean from the regular people.

There were, it reflected the American heart, not just the conservative heart, but the American heart that we're not into all of these riots.

We are into helping each other.

We are into real justice.

We are into cleaning up the cops,

but also holding people accountable, helping them when they're down, helping them up.

but then also holding people accountable.

It was an amazingly diverse group of people, including a ton of Democrats and

even some social Democrats

were

speaking up for Donald Trump last week.

One of the guys who is a Democrat is one of the six mayors around the state of Minnesota that have seen their party and went, I don't recognize this anymore, and are still Democrats.

but are now supporting Donald Trump this fall.

one of them is robert vaselevich i hope i have that right robert uh he is the mayor of eveleth minnesota i hope i have that one right as well robert how are you sir very good this morning it sounds like you were born here the way you pronounced those names well there you go there you go my my uh my mother was uh

from uh spent some time in minneapolis when she was when she was little uh so maybe that's it maybe that's it So

tell me what happened to you, Robert.

I mean,

you've always been a Democrat, still are, right?

Yes.

Okay.

And yet you're voting for Donald Trump.

Why?

Well, we've been in a battle

constantly for a number of years with the radical environmental movement, and they've seemed to take control of the Democratic Party.

And every policy and platform they had is against everything we have up here.

They want to take our wilderness away from us, our jobs.

And Donald Trump was the only one who stepped up and said, I support mining.

And he didn't stutter when he said that.

And I said, this is our guy.

So it's more about jobs than it is about what you're seeing in the streets of Minnesota?

Jobs, number one, but the chaos here, you know, I haven't seen a real Democrat for 30 years like the people I grew up with, and a lot of friends of ours.

You know, they supported the working man, middle-class America, and we seem to have taken a back seat to these predetermined agendas.

I really don't know what they're trying to do.

So

are you staying a Democrat because you're hoping the party will swing back and be more like it was and you want to continue to change it or

what?

Well,

to me, the political party thing is, I think, might be fading out because right now, you can call me a Republican or a Democrat, because we're all thinking alike Republican Party and the Democrats I know.

We all have the same vision for America like our parents had.

Wow.

And that's that is not, Robert.

That is not what we're seeing on television or on the news.

The Democrats that, I mean, my grandparents were Democrats.

You know, a lot of family members that I had growing up were Democrats.

And they loved the country.

They just saw the party as big business or the small guy.

And now it is.

But they both loved America and wanted it to succeed.

Now,

I don't see that in Democrats.

And you're saying that you think that there's a lot of Democrats out there like that?

There's a lot of them that think like that now, because the association with the party, you're seeing the split, the divide not supporting the working man or the middle class.

And the middle class built this country and actually supports the whole world.

A great, strong America economically helps the whole world.

And now everybody's speaking up.

They kind of kept their comments to themselves, but now a group of the other mayors too jumped on the bandwagon with me and I was really happy for that because that's the undercurrent, the word on the street.

People are getting really upset.

I mean, it's just that we're getting beat up by these environmentalists and these radicals in the party.

So, Robert, what I mean,

five others joined you.

Do you think that maybe you kind of were the

hole in the dike, if you will, that all of a sudden it just started to crack apart?

I mean, is it scary to do what you just did?

Well, you know, I just took a stand because I really feel for the young people making investment in our areas, the kids in the small towns who are struggling.

And I think the rest of these mayors had just had enough.

They gave them enough rope.

Hopefully things would come back to normal, how we perceive normal.

But it's just getting worse when you have the rioting, lawlessness, threatening people's public safety.

You know what I mean?

That would have just pushed it over the edge.

Everybody had enough.

Are you getting heat from your stance?

You know, I had such a small amount of negative comments.

We're just getting a deluge of calls from all over the country, different parts of Pennsylvania, even California, and stuff.

They're glad we took the stance.

I would say it's probably maybe like 90 to 1.

When CNN came up here and did a story on us, they did a real good story up here.

And I got more complaints from some of the Democrats, liberals up here, that when I said Trump is our guy, I got more calls then than I did over this.

It just goes to prove

that you're turning.

Really?

Why do you do you think it's because maybe the liberals weren't watching last week and they were just like oblivious to you?

I mean, that was a pretty big deal.

People are speaking out.

And I mean, the ones who are calling me are old, longtime Democrats here.

And they're looking at the candidate because they know we have nothing to support our thoughts.

Our thoughts have always been the area, the natural resource-based economy, and our wilderness.

We've kept both in check for years, and now we have people trying to take that away from us, because anybody can use our wilderness.

If they get their way, it'll be just a thing of privilege to be able to go up there.

And you don't think Biden, I mean, Biden's always been for the working man.

Nobody else does.

Well, I like Donald Trump.

He's not a politician, so his word means something because he's used to doing business deals.

And I'm tired of these elected officials who've got a for sale sign on their back.

Well, it is

almost shocking to talk to a politician

and

not have them tow the party line.

I would question their common sense, but

I really respect people who don't toe the line because it's not encouraged in any way in today's society.

So thank you for that, sir.

No,

you have to take a stand sooner or later.

It's our survival.

Thank you.

You're exactly right.

That is one of the six mayors now, the first one that spoke out, and he was at the RNC, Robert Vaselevich,

mayor in Minnesota, a Democrat, remaining a Democrat.
