Starting point is 00:00:00 60% of the vans on Amazon come to vendor independent like Sac Magic. Hello, here Camille of Sac Magic. Our compresses chode-fraud are fabriced in Quebec, and our presence on Amazon, enlarge our clientele
Starting point is 00:00:10 to the world entire. Trouvee de petiops like on earth.com on Amazon.ca. Yeah, we have the... We have the Betsy Ross flag Nike's that we're on the shelf for
Starting point is 00:00:21 what, how long? On the shelf for a couple of hours. Oh, yeah, and they pulled them. And they pulled them. And they put it in a flag. Yeah, somebody... I remember you talking about that. I didn't remember you talking about that. realize you pulled the trigger. You got a pair of those?
Starting point is 00:00:33 My wife didn't talk to me for quite some. I'm not sure. I mean, that's one of those things. I'd auction off a heartbeat to buy something of real significance, but that is part of the dark side of America. You know, people trying to collect things of people who try to destroy
Starting point is 00:00:51 America. Here's Nike. Doing a patriotic thing. Colin Kaepernick comes in and says, that's a racist shoe. Off, off the shelves within like two hours. I didn't realize. had that. Yeah, we get into this a little bit on the show today with Heritage Auctions. You're doing a show from this auction house that has like the craziest stuff from history that they
Starting point is 00:01:12 all the time. Do you remember, uh, remember, uh, remember Neiman Marcus, but I don't think that was the magazine. Once in a while, at Christmas time, there would be a magazine that would have crazy things in it, like, you know, your own personal submarine. And you'd read them as a kid and you'd be like, God, be so cool to have your own submarine. You know, and they were like crazy expensive kind of stuff. That's kind of what this is. This is Christmas for the insanely rich. But they're all historic items.
Starting point is 00:01:48 You know, Harry S. Truman's poker table or Sputnik or, you know, a, what do you call it? Not a commode, but a chamber pot. from the SS Titanic. Just crazy stuff. We'll talk about it later on the show, and also we're doing a TV show on it in the next couple of weeks. And I'll take you to the auction house and show you these crazy, crazy items. But let's get to today's program.
Starting point is 00:02:15 There's a lot of meat on the table, including something that is a do not miss, something that happened to me about, what, 12, 14 years ago that I've never talked about, but today was the right day. And it's like, it has been. and a closely held secret just between like Pat and Stu and myself for about 12 years, but you need to hear it today.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Also, make sure you take a minute. Subscribe to this feed if you would, rate and review. If you get a second, five stars is the appropriate number of stars. Also, Stu Does America returns today with a brand new program. Click over there. You get that podcast five days a week as well. Well worth your time. Would you agree, glad?
Starting point is 00:02:56 Oh, my gosh. Crazy well-worthy. What are you talking about? Listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. I'm going to start. Give me 30 minutes, if you will, today. I want to start with what's in the news. And then I want to take you back to about 2009.
Starting point is 00:03:30 And something that Stu knows, he's probably one of four or five people that know about a dream that I had years ago. And I've been thinking about it since yesterday's. program and I feel I need to share it with you, or at least a portion of it. But I get to that here in a minute. I'm going to show you the news of the day and why I think it's important that you hear about the experience that I had. All right, let's go on a scavenger hunt. Most people don't know anything about Balenciaga.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Is that how you say it? I say it, Sarah. I don't know. Balenciaga. Balenciaga. Okay. $2,000 sweaters. Okay. It's really expensive, couture kind of clothing, blah, blah, blah. It's a Spanish fashion house, and it has had real sway, apparently, for a very long time. They, well, let me welcome back Stu from vacation. Stu, what do you know about this story? Glenn, think of me. This is just a theoretical sense.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Okay. Think of me as a person. Yeah. Who went on Thanksgiving break and tried to stay away from grooming stories while I was on that break. Okay, that's hard to understand, but okay. And also, in addition to this, have never heard of Balenciaga. Right. I pronounce it, but I don't know what it is. I'd never heard of it until, you know, this weekend.
Starting point is 00:05:07 So what do you know about it? The only thing that I would say I know about it is, didn't they take some pictures of, like, kids with teddy bears and the bears were like bondage bears or something? I don't know. I saw one of the pictures. That's all I've heard. Okay. So there's a lot more to this story as it goes on. The bondage bears and the picture with the panic face children surrounded by empty wine glasses is what we all kind of saw. And we're like, huh, that's not good. The picture features a days looking boy in a cluttered room, among all the clutter, there is some disturbing things that have been found. For one, the boy is wearing red shoes.
Starting point is 00:05:54 That has symbolized royalty and unstoppable power like the red heels of King Louis XIV. Now, this is a weird connection to Tony Podesta. In the pedophilia paintings owned by Tony Podesta, children are wearing red shoes. Now, the boy to the boys left is a drawing of a rainbow. To his right is a drawing of earth with a crow looking down over it. And on the ground, there is a roll of ticker tape with Balenciaga spelled not the normal way, but spelled capital B, capital A, capital L, sorry, capital B, capital A, capital A, capital L, Ian Saga.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Oh, wow. Okay. You know the meaning of that still? The God of, I mean, we've talked about it a million times. Child sacrifice. That's how, okay. Child sacrifice, pedophilia, unstoppable sex. Evil and.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Yeah. Moloch. Right. It is the ancient God in the Bible, Moloch or Ball, B-A-A-L. It is a Canaanite god of child sacrifice. Okay. Nice. You'll find in Jeremiah, Jeremiah 19, Ball is identified as Moloch, and a crude drawing shows a horned animal that resembles Ball.
Starting point is 00:07:33 So that's also in the picture. Now, this is no accident for a couple of reasons. the company had to have had this ticker tape designed and printed and put on the floor. Also, in March at a parish show for this company, Kim Kardashian wore a full body dress made only of ticker tape with the word Balenciaga on it, but it was spelled correctly. Now, if one of those things would have appeared on their own, it would be one thing. But putting these things together and then seeing the people, behind it, it becomes very clear.
Starting point is 00:08:15 Now, so you know, the company has blamed this on the photographer, and we'll get into that in a second. Then they went out and they said, well, it's the advertisement. We didn't even see any of these pictures before they went out. Does anyone believe that? Okay, so here's the photographer. He was described as a documentary photographer, who's a documentary photographer who's projects often make expensive portraits of everyday eccentric.
Starting point is 00:08:47 How do you say that? Extristic. Yeah. I heard it in my head. We are. Now that you started. I know. Talking.
Starting point is 00:08:54 I know. Accentricities. Excentricities. Yes. That's what I heard of my head. You should be over here because I'm already in the Hall of Fame. So I don't even try anymore. A press release from the company said the gift shop campaign iterates.
Starting point is 00:09:10 on the artist series toy stories, which features a series of photographs from around the world of children surrounded by their favorite toys. Hmm, okay. In a statement, the photographer said, as a photographer, I was only and solely requested to light the given scene, take the shots according to my signature style,
Starting point is 00:09:32 as usual for commercial shooting, the direction of the campaign, and the choice of the objects displayed are not in the hands of the photographer. now who is the person responsible for that well that's their creative director known as demna she's from the country georgia she's also worked for louis vaton she is the person that in the 2021 met gala uh she it's a she or he yeah i don't know i'm not going to identify right i'm not going to we don't know there's a it's a fluid situation
Starting point is 00:10:10 here as we can. I think it's he. I think it is he. But he designed the gimp outfit that Kim Kardashian wore. Okay, you know, where she was covered all in black rubber or whatever the hell it is. Okay. Dramatic. Very dramatic. Now, they also collaborate with Adidas. Remember, this is the company, one of the companies that just fired Kanye, but they are tied deeply into the Kardashians. Now, if you go back into some of their old photo shoots, there is a pattern here. They just did one. They released a collaboration with Adidas, which they called the Spring 23 campaign.
Starting point is 00:10:58 The pieces are the pieces that were on the Spring 23 presentation on their runway. And the collection was shot by a completely different photographer. and that is important because the imagery isn't a coincidence or a decision made by the first photographer. The theme was business office environment and the setting was a swanky high rise in Manhattan and Nicole Kidman is in the ads. In the photo for a $3,100 hourglass handbag, there's a printed copy of the 2008 United States versus Williams decision on child pornography laws. and whether promotion of child pornography curtailed First Amendment freedom of speech rights. So there's the handbag and there's the Supreme Court ruling.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Okay. But I'm sure it's just a coincidence and the photographer's fault. Yeah. Newsweek says the extract is part of an analysis with respect to the United States versus Williams presented by the late Justice Antenens Scalia. from May 2008, which details the grounds for material to be defined as child pornography. Okay. In another photo, a man in a terrible outfit stands in this swanky office with a postcard view of cities behind him. Behind him also is a diploma with the name of John Philip Fisher.
Starting point is 00:12:32 This connection isn't as solid, but speculation is, who is John Philip Fisher? Fisher, apparently he is a pedophile out of Michigan. Okay. In another advertisement photo, hourglass small, crock-embossed, top-handle bag, a woman props her feet onto a cluttered desk. So much clutter, it's hard to tell what's on all the paper, but in the background, you see a stack of books. One of them is titled Fire from the Sun.
Starting point is 00:13:07 It's about an artist whose work has been linked to pedophilia, cannibalism, and blood rituals. A description posted on Amazon says that his artwork features children who are presented alone or in groups against a studio-like backdrop that negates time and space while underlining the theatrical atmosphere and artifice that exists throughout his recent work. Okay. So he is trying to recreate, I guess. Yes, the cherubs of the Renaissance, they are just their allegories. They're not really children. And they contrast their innocence with the evils of the world. Okay.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Now, there's another person involved. This one is really interesting. This is the chief designer for the company. her name is Lata Volkava. Apparently, and I've seen some of it, now it's all been made private, but, you know, through the way back machine, you can, the internet is forever, gang. On her Instagram page, she has, I mean, when I say tons, I mean, a disturbing amount of a satanic image. imagery and violence. One image shows a woman lying on a pentagram as a satanic figure looms over her. Another shows a woman dead on her side in a field with her stomach ripped open and entrails
Starting point is 00:14:49 sprawling out on the grass beneath her. Third photo is a vintage style men's bedroom but covered in blood and bullets and broken glass. And the fourth image was a child holding up a skull with a frame and the star sign symbols from the astrological chart. So she seems wonderful. Now, she is the chief designer for this company. Also on her Instagram account, there's an image of her wearing a t-shirt from her favorite band, Cannibal Corpse. And she's inside of a church.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Now, remember the woman laying with her entrails out in a completely different a completely different picture. Cannibal corpse, one of their songs, the lyrics, entrails ripped from a virgin's seaward. Virgin tied to my mattress, legs spread wide, ruptured bowel yanked from her inside, de virginized with my knife,
Starting point is 00:15:55 internal bleeding, I can't tell you even more of it. It is awful, awful. Also, an image of a little girl bound and gagged. This is the woman who is like the leader of all of the design for this particular brand. She also works with Adidas, which launched a sneaker line designed by her. Let's see. I mean, it's, it just goes on and on and on.
Starting point is 00:16:37 Now, Kim Kardashian said she's reevaluating her relationship. Now, I think that's all you need to know. Really? How much thought do you need to put into this? Well, she, she reached out to the company and they said, oh, darn that, oh, that photographer. Oh, we're going to change things. here. Really? Are you? Yes, we are.
Starting point is 00:17:05 Okay. Okay. Somebody else that is involved would be the daughter let's see, the stepdaughter,
Starting point is 00:17:22 I think, of Kamala Harris. She's androgynous has you know, just a, well, a lot of wouldn't say the look of a model, but the guy who was really there for Kamala when she was running for president gave the max to her campaign, happens to run this modeling agency. And after Kamala won as vice president, her daughter reaches out and says, hey, I'd like to be a model.
Starting point is 00:17:59 and guess where they place her with this company. This is everywhere, absolutely everywhere. Let me take you two other places, and then I want to tell you something I haven't shared for the first year after this happened. It took me several months to even share it with my wife, and she was the only one that knew for the first, about year, year and a half.
Starting point is 00:18:28 I'll tell you all about it, just a second, but I want to give you two other things. The Washington Post has just given a rave review for a play about pedophiles. The Washington Post says Downstate, which is a play about pedophiles, is brilliant. Really? It's tough stuff. It's questioning on how society treats these convicted of heinous acts. And, you know, it's not for the person that thinks that pedophilia.
Starting point is 00:19:00 is bad, but maybe those who have an open mind. Okay. Thank you. So now we have this in the Washington Post. Remember, we told you this is what would come. It's here now. You also have in Los Angeles a real problem. Apparently in Los Angeles, they are releasing thousands of convicted pedophiles. The pedophile that should get 20 years is getting between a year and 10 months and two years and eight months. And they're being by the thousands released back into the population. Now, why is that? Why are pedophiles being released back into the population and getting very, very short terms? You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
Starting point is 00:20:06 I am thrilled to introduce the Attorney General that is the Attorney General of the great state of Louisiana. He is kind of a rock star. He has reformed the justice system in his own state. He was also the National Association of Attorneys General. that earned the Gladiator Award by the Louisiana Family Forum. He has won the Conference of Western Attorney General's Award for Best Consumer Outreach and the U.S. D.H. Inspector General's Award of Excellence in fighting Medicaid and welfare fraud, waste, and abuse. This guy gets the job done.
Starting point is 00:21:02 He's just filed suit a few months ago against Fauci. And his name is Jeff Landry, and he joins us now. Attorney General, how are you, sir? Good. It's an honor to be with you. Thank you. It's honor to talk to you. So thank you, first of all, for everything you do.
Starting point is 00:21:21 I think the attorney general in every state is one of the last lines of defense, and you guys can actually turn things around in this country. We have to start at the local and state level. So thank you for everything you do. Well, Glenn, you couldn't have been, you couldn't have been more right because you fixed the country about fixing your state and your community. Right. You have brought a lawsuit against the Biden administration and Anthony Fauci, and you had a seven-hour deposition with him. What can you share with us on that?
Starting point is 00:22:03 Well, let's see. Let's set a couple of ground rules. You know, right now the transcript is being prepared and then it will be filed into the record. And I feel confident that it will be made public. And so, you know, until that has done any of the real specifics of it, I would try to refrain from going into those types of details. The video, we also, there was a video, that video is. currently under seal, and I believe until it's at least filed, and then we'll ask the judge unseal it. But let me just say this. Once it's unsealed, you are going to have a field day. So get your popcorn, get your reading glasses if you need them, and you highlight it. And we can
Starting point is 00:22:53 have a great conversation of each one of those specifics. In general, in general, what I can tell you was that it was amazing to me the amount of information that Dr. Fauci could not recall and that he, you know, on documents and emails that were presented to him in exhibits, right, which would be made part of that transcript as well. However, I would tell you that the most, and I don't know if I want to use the word troubling, bizarre, perplexing, the thing that has perplexed me and bothered me for the last five days now was actually an event that took place during the deposition. All right. So we are, let me kind of set the scene. We are in the NIAID that's the National Institute for Allergies and Infectious
Starting point is 00:23:51 Diseases, which Dr. Fauci runs and, you know, awards millions of dollars in grants for research and development for places like over in Wuhan, China. And a table, a rectangular table is at the end of the table. I'm going to get that bad. I think at the end next to Dr. Fauci, with a videographer and the solicitor general from Missouri who's asking the questions as General Smith, now, you know, U.S. Senator-elect, Schmitt, which we're at five hours into this. I'm telling you, Dr. Fauci almost comes out of share.
Starting point is 00:24:50 And he looks at it and he says, do you have enough respiratory infection? And I mean, the girl is just like startled. Lady is startled. She's like, what? She's like, no, no, no. I got some, I don't know. He says, you know, with COVID and everything, I'm extremely concerned. And then he makes him go put a mask on.
Starting point is 00:25:11 And so I just want to put this. Just think about this, Glenn. This is a man who 24 hours before that was at the point. podium of the White House telling the world and the American people that if you really want to be safe and healthy and protect yourself, go get your booster. Now, I'm going to assume that he's been double-vaxed, tentons boosted, whatever, right? So why would it bother him if the young lady has the sniffles? Right. So because he's a guy that implemented all. all the policies about vaccine mandates and how this this works and how, you know,
Starting point is 00:25:55 how he alone is eradicated COVID. And yet a simple sneeze like Sanakamata share. Now, to me, that's bothering me that a man with his authority who basically wrecked the U.S. economy and who tells the American people, don't listen to your doctor, listen to me, is, is it and puts all his confidence in the shot and yet this little sneeze seemed
Starting point is 00:26:28 to like perplex him. I mean, I don't know. Am I missing something, Glenn? No, I can't predict what these people even think. I'm anxious to see you did ask him about the lab leak theory
Starting point is 00:26:43 and his discrediting the lab leak theory. You don't have to give me any answers, but can you give me some of the questions you guys asked? Well, we covered, we covered the Wuhan. Okay. We covered the virus pollution. Right. genetically create a range of topics. And again, I think it's important to remember for you listen to that this censorship, not about Dr. Fauci believed information was disinformation or misinformation in the CDC. basically censored that information or told or coerced or colluded the information that was on their
Starting point is 00:28:18 platform or basically to take certain information down because that's at the core of this case and quite frankly I think it's one of the most important first amendment cases in in modern legal times I mean if we lose this case is the reach of of the government because this is basically like it will explain this case thing. It would be like this that during the Trump years, the President Trump would have sent whatever the White House or they have Justice Department, whatever, and I am now going to be housed in your editorial room and I am going to tell you what you can and can't put on the front page. I am going to redact. I think we all are very well aware of what would have happened. they would have been screaming First Amendment, but they don't actually, I don't think they actually believe in the First Amendment unless you agree with them.
Starting point is 00:29:43 So do they have the kind of quasi-war power to do that? Because we did do that in World War II. We had people in the newsrooms going, no, can't say that, can't say that. So is it a war power that they are claiming? Well, I didn't know we declared war on, ever declared war on a virus. And I don't think that those powers would be applicable to this type of situation. Sure. In addition, I don't know that there was a national security issue regarding doctors who may have been sharing potential therapeutics that relieve patients of their symptoms.
Starting point is 00:30:32 ultimately kept them off of a ventilator. I don't think that there was a national security. Of course, some may, a bet, may argue on the releasing of Hunter Biden's laptop or making that story seem to be misinformation or disinformation or Russian propaganda. I mean, there is information that should be made available to the American people. And let me just also say some, too. Remember, the social platforms claim that they're not the press. They claim that they're not journalists.
Starting point is 00:31:10 They claim that they're not publishers, right, so that they can hide behind Section 230, which is the law that protects them from being sued for taking people down or content down. And that's the problem is that this speech that they censored was Americans, vetting, conversing, having a conversation virtually about issues and theories as the pandemic or the hunter-the-hunter-lap-dine laptop story came out as to what they believe. And then big tech took those stories down or certainly throttled down the reach of certain actual journalists or
Starting point is 00:32:03 media outlets because they were conservative from being able to reach the American people and so I think that trying to compare you know wartime exercise of information
Starting point is 00:32:18 back in World War II to today is that into what they did is kind of like apples and oranges for the listeners out there which is a good example of how it's So, Jeff, I only have a couple of seconds left of time before you've got to go. We have the Louisiana Attorney General on Jeff Landry. So the ceiling of this deposition, it's already gone through court that it had to be kept secret,
Starting point is 00:32:49 or at least for a while. Are you confident that this information will be coming out? I do, I do. I believe that the transcript will be made public. Like I do. I feel very confident. I think we've got a great fair judge who understands the breath and the depth of this case. And look, we've got a lot more people. We depose Jen Saki in a couple of weeks. I think that this deposition that we took last week is going to grant us the ability to depose other people as well and some of the information that we got. And so this is going to be an ongoing piece of litigation that I think is going to unveil. lot to the American people about the things that were going on during the pandemic. And I can't thank you, Glenn, for giving me some time. Oh, no, I appreciate it, Jeff. Thank you for everything that you have done. And, of course, you were partnered with the then-attorney General Schmidt,
Starting point is 00:33:43 who is now a senator, a U.S. Senator just elected. And we're thrilled. And thank you so much for everything that you do. Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry. God bless. Take care. Thank you. of the Glenn Beck program. Chris Chappell is with us. He is the host of China uncensored. Hi, Chris. How are you? Hi, great. How are you?
Starting point is 00:34:17 Very good. I watched your coverage over the last few days of what's happening in China, and I thought you did a great job of not boring people to death. And giving all of the... I appreciate that. You bet. Giving all the pertinent facts and also putting some humor in it. So I wanted to talk to you, first of all, about your... qualifications to talk about this. Explain how you know so much about China.
Starting point is 00:34:44 Well, I've been covering China on China censored for 10 years. I've been on the front line in the protests in Hong Kong. I have actually walked into disputed territory in the South China Sea, contested territories between China and Philippines. And yeah, I talked to to many, many experts on our podcast and our show China Cinsured. So I've been following with the question. closely for many years now. And I'm wondering if you ever got an, as I'm watching you, I'm like, you were screwing around with China. You ever have any heat from that?
Starting point is 00:35:20 You know, honestly, I would say at this point I get more heat from American social media companies than I do for the Chinese. Unbelievable. Okay. So let's go through this. Yesterday I explained a little bit about, you know, how this all started. but it is, it's seemingly changing into something else, and it's not Tiananmen Square. Explain what's actually happening now.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Well, I think a big difference people should understand between the Tiananmen protests and what is happening right now, is that the Tianan protests were not calling for the end of the Chinese Communist Party. They were calling for really modest political reforms. And we saw how those protesters were met. These protests are different in that there are actually people coming out and saying that Xi Jinping needs to step down. The Chinese Communist Party itself needs to step down. And that is very unusual.
Starting point is 00:36:25 That's that kind of direct attack on the Chinese Communist Party itself, not some policy or some local official. that's a huge escalation. And this isn't like, you know, any other country. They know who these people are. And some of them are, they're not wearing masks or anything. I mean, that doesn't seem like it's going to end well for those people. Well, sadly, you know, people are asking like, will there be a bloody crackdown?
Starting point is 00:36:58 And I am seeing that there are some reports of tanks rolling through a city called Shoejo. in a Jiangsu province. But the thing people need to understand is that the Chinese Communist Party has never stopped killing people. Right. That's how it maintains its rule. So these people are, you know, they really are taking their lives into their own hands. And they know it. I believe so.
Starting point is 00:37:27 It's hard to know for certain because, for instance, with the Tiananmen Square Massacre, The Communist Party has spent decades erasing that from people's memory. So many people today in China just have never even heard of it. I remember a few months ago there was like this Chinese influencer. He promotes makeup. And on the anniversary of the Tiam Square Masker, he had like an ice cream cake on his show. He had no idea what he was referencing. because he'd never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:38:04 But, you know, he disappeared for a while. Jeez. Okay. So, so tell me how significant it is that they are waving the Chinese flag and singing what now, I think, in the early 2000s, they made this into their national anthem. But it's been around for a long time. But they just codified it as the national anthem. And they're singing the words which talk about rise up, people who, don't want to be slaves.
Starting point is 00:38:35 The international. Yeah. So, again, I should clarify that not everyone in these protests is calling for an end of the CCP. It definitely has been years of pent up frustration over China's zero COVID policy, which has reached just absurd levels of totalitarian control. at a minimum people have to be constantly tested just to function in city, just to function in their daily lives. Then we have cases of entire city being put until lockdown and people starving in lockdown because they can't get food. Or what was a big factor in these recent protests was a fire that broke out in Rumshi, the capital of Xinjiang, where China is persecuting the Uighur Muslims.
Starting point is 00:39:24 people were basically trapped in their apartment and the fire trucks weren't able to get there because they were being blocked. So the thing about how the Chinese Communist Party represses people is typically they choose a specific group to target. So, you know, the Tianmen protesters or Uyghurs or Falun Gong practitioners or human rights lawyers. The thing with zero COVID, though, is that this is essentially made the repression nationwide, including in, you know, the middle and upper classes of Chinese society in Shanghai and Beijing. So these are people who typically have only benefited from the communist rule. Now they're becoming victims. And how much is actually COVID and how much is just sheer control the population?
Starting point is 00:40:21 population? Of these COVID? No, no, no. Of the, the government's, you know, COVID restrictions, how much of it is actually because they think this is the right thing and how much of it is just control? Well, the thing about these one party states is that they can never admit when they're wrong. You know, for years since the beginning of COVID, uh, Chinese propaganda has, you know, pushed the idea that the rest of the world handled COVID so badly. You know, people are dying in droves there. But, you know, China, China's got to figure it out. They actually reported, like, zero deaths for, like, from April 2020, I think, to a year later. And, like, just transparently, that's not true.
Starting point is 00:41:14 But they've created this, this narrative of, you know, the party has it under control. and this is what's necessary to protect China. And now that's falling apart. People see the economic damage, the damage to people's livelihood. There was a case last year where a woman had a miscarriage because she went to the hospital, but her COVID app had expired outside while she had a miscarriage. And that went viral. That got a lot of people really upset.
Starting point is 00:41:52 So we're talking to Chris Chappell from China uncensored. You can find it on YouTube. This is the biggest protest since when. Can you give us any kind of scope on how unusual this is? So from an organization called Freedom House recently, and they're doing some interesting things researching how often there are. you know, protests or mass movements in China, and they are far more common than I think a lot of people realize. Just, you know, the party is able to kind of clamp down and censors a lot of
Starting point is 00:42:39 these stories. But these protests definitely are on a scale beyond what we've seen in a long time. I should say, though, that a weekend of protests does not make a revolution make. It will not topple the Chinese Communist Party. The companies that are, many of them American like Apple, that have stopped the airdrop from working, which was a way to not be tracked, this is reprehensible, just reprehensible. How many Americans, I just read that Joe Biden's not going to make a statement about it?
Starting point is 00:43:22 How many Americans? The is always best. Pardon me? We wouldn't want to, silence is always the best. We wouldn't want to, you know, stand up for. Yeah. Stand up for liberty. People, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:34 How many of these companies are actually assisting kind of like IBM did in World War II? Well, China has a very powerful surveillance and censorship apparatus, and that was largely built up thanks to American tech. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah. This is like the firewall. Yeah, yeah. The West has been horribly complicit in so much. And, yeah, there's just been such a weak response to the South.
Starting point is 00:44:07 I mean, the Chinese Communist Party, it's a regime that uses rape as a form of torture. And the response has just been inadequate, to put it lightly. So what does the world do if they start slaughtering people? Anything? Well, as I said, they have never stopped slaughtering people. You know, a couple of years ago, there was something called the China Tribunal. It was overseen by a guy named Sir Jeffrey Nice, who oversaw the war crime trials of Slovon-Milosevic, and they looked at the accusations that China, the Chinese Communist Party, is harvesting organs from prisoners of conscience,
Starting point is 00:44:50 Long Kong practitioners, Uyghurs, Christians. Right. and yeah they've always been killing people and but it seems like when the world is it seems like when the world is watching for instance the Hong Kong protests they didn't do anything until everybody was focused on COVID and then all those people just disappeared so yeah I mean we are watching now but I guess our politicians are sending the wrong message that we're not going to do anything anyway. It's not just politicians.
Starting point is 00:45:26 I mean, it's Wall Street, all these, you know, social media kind of like Apple, what it was doing. And so this is the sad thing, like even after the Tianman Square Mask or that, like weeks after it happened, George Bush Sr. sent a secret envoy to China to tell them, it wouldn't get in the way of U.S.-China relationships. So the Communist Party knows there's, you know, there might be some talk. but, you know, the West has sadly not been doing anything. I think what needs to happen is I think we need to clearly see and understand that the Chinese Communist Party is our enemy.
Starting point is 00:46:06 In their own internal speeches, they talk about spreading international communism, being at war with America, trying to destroy America. But we get lost in like all these narratives and propaganda, but if you just understood there are our enemy, then you would handle things like TikTok, which is owned by a Chinese company, you wouldn't, you would just ban TikTok. Can you do that, though, with, with this president, how deeply in bed with China, he and others. I mean, on the other side, you've, you've got Mitch McConnell just as deeply in bed. Well, maybe not as deeply, but, but on the same, on the same boat.
Starting point is 00:46:46 We're talking to Chris Chappell. He is the host of China uncensored. Chris, one last question. We are looking at a possible railroad strike. We're looking at diesel shortages. We've already got shortages going on. We depend way too much on China. What does it mean if this continues just as it is? What is the destruction going to be like of the global economy? Well, ultimately the Chinese Communist Party's goal is to destroy America as a superpower. You know, we saw how devastating during COVID when China spent the initial weeks of the outbreak covering it up to hoard medical supplies. Most of our medical equipment is made in China. We were screwed because we have pushed all of this vital manufacturing to China. What ultimately happens is, you know, China will invade Taiwan.
Starting point is 00:47:51 They have said this repeatedly that they will do a military invasion of Taiwan. That would completely destroy the semiconductor supply chain. Those are the microchips that basically run everything. We are so dependent on Taiwan. If that breaks down, we might go back to the Stone Age. geez okay well you didn't improve my mood much but I am appreciative that's why I try to use humor on the show I know I know I know I really appreciate it I watched your work on this and I just thought you were you were spot on so thank you
Starting point is 00:48:30 very much for keeping your eye on that Chris yeah you bet the name of the of the podcast is China uncensored on censored yeah by the way while we're talking about this this is not a commercial i just i mean these are a sponsor of of portions of programs that i do but i so believe in them uh i i want you to go to jacemedical dot com and check out what they do jace j a s e medical dot com these are people doctors and pharmacists that know exactly what we're headed for if god forbid the supply chain breaks down again. And you can have antibiotics in your house.
Starting point is 00:49:20 And antibiotics are very, very scarce. So you can have them. So if things break down, somebody gets sick, you have some medication on hand. And they'll explain how it all works and it's, you know, all legal and everything else. It's jasej-j-a-S-E-medical.com. Go there now and,
Starting point is 00:49:43 Tell them I sent you. I think if you use the promo code Beck 10, you'll save money if you get that far. Again, not a commercial. I just, I really think this is important that we pay attention. We're not making stuff here. We're not making it.
Starting point is 00:49:59 Maybe. Maybe we should. What do you say? Let's get together and learn how to make stuff again. What a novel idea. Na, na, na, na, no.
