The Glenn Beck Program - Is Biden’s Crime-Filled House of Cards Beginning to Implode? | Guest: Peter Schweizer | 2/26/24

Episode Date: February 26, 2024

Glenn and Stu go over the bombshell report showing that DA Fani Willis may have lied during her testimony. Pat Gray joins Glenn and Stu to discuss whether Fani Willis will face consequences for her actions and the Democrats' announcement they will try to overturn the election results should Trump win the election. Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer joins to discuss the latest evidence in the investigation into the Biden family and their shady business dealings. Peter also exposes the looming threat China poses to America every day as the communist country continues to sow chaos in our streets. Glenn gives the three books he thinks every American should own a hard copy of, including WallBuilders' Tim and David Barton's newest book, “The American Story: Building the Republic.” Tim, David, and Glenn discuss the importance of America and how to get back on the right track.  Learn more about your ad choices.

So Uno is slowing down a lot. And I'm feeding him kibble, but I'm also, I'm feeding him hamburger. And there's something in the kitchen that's, you know, like, ah, you know what, we didn't finish that chicken. I put that in there, give him some eggs and some cheese. And oh, he's like a thousand pounds now. And Tony was like, what do you? What, wait? I'm like, it's the one thing he enjoys.

You already cut, you know, all of his. everything else a long time. Can we like let him go out on? But we still put the rough greens on it. Because I swear to you, I think it's given him a longer life. I don't have anything to back that up other than he's the oldest one we've had. And his life is, I mean, he's limping a little bit now where the other, the other dogs, if they would have lasted this long, they couldn't walk. Rough greens is an amazing thing. It's good for your dog. Put it on whatever it is they eat. It's full of vitamins, minerals, probiotics. Get your first trial bag free.

enjoy as much as we can. I got some bad news, too. I got a shoehorn that in. But I cannot let the Fannie Willis story go. There's an update. You know, Friday, right at the end of the show, they found out that she, the Trump people had pinged her phone

and his phone. And looks like something was going on in the middle of the night. She's responded. Now, I don't know if you've heard a response. I just, I mean, could we spend a few minutes just laughing? Yes, and we're going to do that next. First, if you've tried everything, drank a glass of warm milk, you counted sheep until you couldn't count any higher, you watched golf TV, I mean, and still no sleep?

Sorry I was analyzing my voice there when I got a little loss because my voice was gone over the weekend. I have, I mean, there's no reason for me. to do this job. I don't know why I have this job. I don't. I have vocal cords that go at the drop of a hat. Are there any health problems you have yet to acquire? I don't have ALS. That I know of. That I know. I don't have ALS. That's good. There you go. All right. So, and I really need my voice

today because, I mean, Fannie Willis. Oh, Fony. Now, in case you don't remember, Fonnie Willis is the prosecutor. She is the DA that is making this case about Donald Trump, you know, trying to steal the election, yada, yada, yada. Well, there's a little problem there because somebody found out that she was paying one of the expert witnesses and

investigators on awful lot of money. He was making like, I think almost twice as much, right? As some of the other experts. Yeah, some of the other people. So people started looking into that. And then the rumor came to this investigator that they were having an affair. And they were going on lavish trips together. And so they wondered, wow, hmm, is, I mean, is something going on here that, you know, might lack some professionalism?

Yes. And then there became this little squabble of when? did you hire him? Did you hire him before or after this case? What is it? There was also a divorce going on. And he was getting a divorce, this prosecutor. He was getting a divorce. And it came up in the divorce trial that those two were having an affair. And he said, no, I've never had an affair in my marriage. Okay. Well, that wasn't true. But He got on the stand and he said, well, it depends on, I'm not making this up, depends on how you define marriage. In my head, we were divorced for a long time.

Okay, not usually the way we do that, but okay. Let's redefine some more things about marriage. So the problem is they swore under oath several times that they didn't have a relationship at all prior to 20 the well again this was a big part of the testimony do you mean romantic relationship or do you mean relationship as if they had met each other

do we have any porn music you know that kind of a relationship you know what I mean okay they this guy yeah I could see yeah ding dong yeah pizza delivery

okay all right So they had a, they admitted to the relationship after he was hired. And I believe he was hired in November of 2021. So they, I think said the relationship started in early 2022. Right. And so after he was hired. Yeah, after he was hired. And so the, of course, you know, they went to work to say, wait a minute, this, this seems

like it started way before that, including a testimony from someone, one of her best friends at the time. And then somebody else that, you know, said attorney-client privilege. Right. So that's like, you know, fifth, okay, we know what you're saying. Sit down. Right. They, one of his attorneys was also asked about this. And obviously, they wouldn't have asked him about this if they didn't know what the answer was, but he couldn't, he, he was able to get out of it with attorney-fri-client privilege. However, the other witness said they had been together since at least 2019. Now, of course, this is important because the accusation here is that she's trying to extend this and do as much as they can to get as much money into this guy's pocket as possible. In other words, her goal is not justice

here. Her goal is to enrich this guy who is in turn enriching her, right? Now, if their answer was immediately, look, this guy's the best in the business. Yeah, we had an affair. It's got nothing to do with this. We've been dating since 2019, but it doesn't matter because I, I don't, I'm I knew he did great work, and that's why I brought him on this case, got nothing to do with this case. They probably skate Scott free on this. But because of his divorce, they don't go down that road. They decide instead to deny everything. And that leads to some problems.

Some of little problems. Now, so it was really he said, she said kind of stuff. And you didn't have any evidence, except it seemed pretty obvious. Nobody in their right mind could buy their excuses. but if you want to have no shadow of it out, you don't really have any evidence. Right. Remember their excuses, too.

They went on multiple expensive trips that he paid for on his business credit card. His business credit card, he paid for those trips. Then their story is, after they returned, she took some amount, thousands and thousands of dollars each time out of. of her glob of cash she keeps at her house that there are no records of, and she takes the thousands of dollars and gives it to him to pay back for her part of the travel. Remember, they're dating at this point, for her part of the travel, and then he takes it and then never deposits it into his bank account. He just, I guess what keeps it in his glove box and pays for gas every time in cash. Well, I mean,

it's his business credit card. He went into the business and said, here, I owe you this and just gave him lots of cash. Well, there would be, of course, a record of that. So that's not what happened. Well, unless the accountant at the business doesn't, we don't count cash coming in. We just put it in, well, this drawer, you know, right here. Oh, yeah. Well, again, like, if you had, if it, if he paid in cash for the trips, this might be kind of believable. Even though it's never happened before. This interaction between two people in a romantic relationship has never occurred. Okay. So, now, apparently there's something called phone records.

What? Yes. What does that mean? Well, it means they can track your location by triangulating your location. Now, this is, it's kind of interesting that the phone record show, that they had a lot of late night, well, phone calls that kind of came in and, and ding-dong, pizza, you know, he was playing the pizza delivery. He was.

You know, look, sometimes pizzas do get delivered late at night. And then other times people look under the box. So they, hmm? So over 2,000 voice calls and just under 12. thousand interactions were exchanged. It's 12,000 text messages. Yes, 12,000. 2,000 voice calls.

Can you think of anything more annoying than receiving 2,000 voice calls from anyone? Little of Fannie Willis. I wonder if Tony and I have had a hazard pay. I wonder if Tony and I have had 2,000 calls back to each other and 12,000 text messages. I mean, there's no way. What was the period again? I mean, it's a year. It was January to November.

Not a year. Ten months. Okay, ten months. I mean, I talked to my wife on the phone. I'm trying to think, let's go crazy and say twice a day. I mean, I live with her. Right. So I see her at home in the morning and I see with her, see her at night.

And then during the day, there's a couple times she might call or text. I mean, you could probably count up a month of our text to see how many were exchanged. But there's no way. it's a thousand. So I don't carry a phone, but I have an iPad that I'd take text. And Tanya probably text me two, three times a day, maximum. Right. Maximum.

That sounds about right. Yeah. I mean, again, I don't know. Interactions, it's a little bit, it's a little bit. Honestly, like the text messages, some people text a lot. Some people write small text messages. Some people give you the emoji reactions to them. I don't know what counts in there.

So 12,000, maybe that's understandable. 2,000 voice calls in 10 months? I bet I have not made 2,000 phone calls in 10 months. If you combine every call I've made. Now, even if the 12,000 text messages were just doing the salsa dancer emoji, which I don't... Is there a salsa dancer emoji? Yeah, you've never seen that?

I have no idea what it's... I don't know they've never used an emoji. So that's... Yeah, so there's the salsa dancer. And I don't know what the salsa dancer is supposed to represent. I have no idea. And so maybe that's the code salsa dancer. You know what I mean?

It's like, hey, let's hook up. Salza dancer. Right. They have like their own code language. If there's 12,000 solza dancers, we know something's going on because, I mean, what does that mean? That's code. I would not be, would you be surprised if we saw a lot of eggplants and peaches? Okay.

I don't. I don't know. what those mean. 8,000 of the 12,000 where eggplants are peaches. I don't. Why? I guarantee they'd be like,

look, have you ever had this this authentic native dish that has both peaches and eggplants? We kept making it. That's all. That's it. They will go to any length to lie about this at this point. Oh, they are done.

Well, here's what she said. Okay, so just so you know, so you know, they have him, how many times, 45 times? 35 occasions. Yes. At her. And that was a conservative estimate. 35 was a conservative estimate about how many times she was there.

So they have things like this. September 11th through the 12th, deeper analysis. We don't need to say that. Described the attached affidavit from the cell phone tracking. He left the Durrell area approximately 10, 15 p.m., traveling directly to and arriving within the geofence, located on the Dogwood Address. to approximately 1045.

He left the dogwood address approximately 3.28 a.m. What happens between 1045 and 3.28 a.m. I mean, I'm just... Okay, then he leaves there and he texts Fannie at

420. Can you please call her for the purposes of this? Fonnie. Can you please refer to us? I'm having a hard time with your peaches remark. Following a call from Fannie Willis at 1132 p.m., which continues for 40 minutes, leaving the towers located near his resident in East Cobb in approximately 12.05 a.m., ongoing call at 1238. So he leaves his house to drive to her house and is on the phone with her the whole way, right? Okay.

Then he goes, just think about this. Then he goes to this area, which includes her home, a very small area between two cell phone towers. And how long does he stay there until? Until 4.45 a.m. 4.45 a. Yeah. Is it really 4.45? I didn't really, it was that long.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he never spent the night, as they both testified. He never spent the night. Now, how would you justify this? You know what makes sense now? Why did the prosecution when they were talking to him and her? why did they say was he ever at where you laid your head?

Yeah, that was the terminology. Now, it was her, she used that terminology first in the testimony. Oh, she did? Yeah, because he kept, they were trying to say, okay, what about at this condo? She said, I don't even know. I just kept the cash wherever I laid my head. Now, of course, that's always what you do, right?

If you, let's say you go to a motel, you bring their $50,000 in cash with you. It just stays with you wherever you go. I know a lot of people operate this way that are in the mob. But other than that, I don't know of anyone who does. So here's what she has said since Friday, since his story broke. Quote, the records do nothing more than demonstrate that a special prosecutor, Wade's telephone, was located somewhere. Not him.

Right. It's just his phone. His phone could have been flying. What if it has wings and it's flying around at night? We have no idea. He is, he's a guy. He loves to share. He's a big shareer.

I'm not going to use my phone between 10 o'clock at night and let's say 4.55 in the morning. I've got unlimited minutes. Yeah. No ahead. He's using them. Yeah. Why don't you use my phone? Use them.

So records do nothing more than demonstrate that special prosecutor Wade's telephone was located somewhere within a densely populated multiple mile radius where various residents, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and other businesses are located. How many of those are open at 4.20 a.m.? Well, I'd also like to say, how many cases have you tried on cell phone location? I know. This is so bad. What she is now arguing against is what's called cell hoc.

And law enforcement and attorney say this is the system to triangulate phones. So everybody who is like, you know, Googled in, how do I get rid of an hundred and 20 pounds sack of meat and bones. And then, you know, the girlfriend is missing. They always like, yeah, but we have you going to the Home Depot back to your house. Then to the grave site. I'm sorry, to that park you were visiting. You know what I mean?

This is the same thing. So if she discredits this, how many cases, I mean, because if I were a defense attorney and my client had gone to jail with this as the linchpin and she discredits, I'd be like, she herself said, even the district attorney says this isn't good. It's really bad. And do you think she's the type of person who would risk multiple murder investigations just to protect herself, Glenn? Does she seem like that kind of person? Yes, I do.

Wow. That's surprising. So does he. Let me tell you about Lear Capital. You know, what's missing from your day is, ah, that. that's however, you know, just where, huh, like I got everything done.

So call today 800, 889, 3070, 800, 889. 3070. 10 seconds, station ID. So, Stu, I mean, I know we had a few ideas on Friday that maybe he was coming over, you know, and looking for her cat. It's possible.

It is possible. It is possible. You don't want a lost pet is always something that's traumatic to a person. Explain the call. She calls him. I lost my cat. And he's like, I'm there to find it for you. and so he comes over and so he's not at the apartment he's just looking for her cat there's a long time to be looking for a cat I mean and I would

I don't know this particular area but any area between the times of 1045 p.m. and 3.28 a.m. So you notice your cat well it's a lot of times when cats are lost but it also is one of those things where I don't know you wouldn't necessarily want to be wandering around outside

just because if you know of personal safety issues. Huh. Now, this is, of course, just one of the incidents you talked about. Also, November 29th, 2021. She got a call. It was, uh,

actually, did you give the November one or the September one? I can't remember it. One of them, 328 to 405 and 1132 to 455. And one of the interesting parts of this is once he got home at 405 a.m., he then texted her at 4.20 a.m. Because his dog had been. missing that time. He went over to look for her cat. He's got a weener dog and it was gone. So he went over to look for her cat, his dog and he came home. I think a lot, a lot of friction between

the two. Back. All right. Such a stupid show. All right. Let me, you believe this is our job? No, no, because you would take it more seriously than we do.

Welcome to the program, Mr. Pat Gray from Pat Gray on Leashed, a podcast that you can hear directly prior to this program on Blaze TV and Radio Network. And also, you can get him wherever you get your podcast. Pat, you are not interested in the Fony Willis thing. I mean, not as interested as many, I'm sure, are. Why? It's just fun, isn't it?

You don't think it's fun? Not really. I think it's, I mean, I think it's fun. I personally think it's fun because I like to see somebody so arrogant just walk into a giant trap of their own making. Of their own making. That's what's satisfying about it to me. I mean, you know, I could see why, I mean, the left is trying to say this doesn't matter at all because they're just trying to distract from Trump's misdeeds. They're lying under oath. Baldface lying under oath. Without fear. of any kind of repercussion. If, I mean, I don't mean to say it this way, but I mean, if she gets off

after all of this, if they just move past her. And they're going to. You think? Yeah, probably. I think she's I don't know. I could be wrong. I mean, if she does, nothing ever comes of these things. Oh my gosh. With Democrats, nothing ever comes of it.

That is true. If it's a Republican, they're already gone. They're already in jail. Or they're already paying a fine. You know, something. But with Democrats, whatever. Nobody cares. So. I hope you're wrong on that. This is outside of Washington, D.C., outside of New York, which I've already resigned.

However, this is, I mean, this is Georgia. Yours now in the south and starting to eat across the country. If this happens in Georgia and somebody can make, can perjure themselves, she should go to jail. She and he She's going to jail There's no way That's not going to happen Now of course

If you follow the law That is what would occur What is it? One to ten years Yeah One to ten years Which is pretty blatant here However

Her and not just once Multiple Yeah I mean The perjury is Bald face Defiant She

Her attorney Tried to stop her From testifying She wanted to She's like Like this what's going on. I'm a proud black woman. And you're just, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I mean, I don't know how she doesn't go to jail. But I don't think that's even honestly a possibility. What is a possibility to me? Do you agree? I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I guess I'm naive. I just still, I just still hold out hope. Now, I think there could be consequences to it. So, I mean, because I do think that her being either tossed from this case is a possibility. Yes. And also I think up until something like her being disbarred as a possibility for this. I mean, the court does not like it when you blatantly lie to them.

No. She, if she has, if she keeps her law license after this, I mean, that's, there's no justice in Georgia. None. None. None. Nothing's changed in the great state of Georgia. Just colors.

That's it. And the fact that they keep doubling and tripling down on these lies is also a big part of this, right? Like he came out and he's like, yeah, well, so I might have been at the Porsche Experience Center. Oh my God. At 4 a.m.? Like, what were you doing there? I'm a little concerned. I mean, it is an experience. And Porsches are great, but they are not open at that time.

I was just a, I was an Uber Eats driver. I worked on eight, like the very, very late shift only in her neighborhood. The problem with that is there would be records of the deliveries on Uber Eats. No, he was paid in cash. All of the clients paid in cash. That's not how Uber Eats works. Well, it does there. It does there for him.

It's a very special Uber Eats. Do you have any other excuses that would justify this? Because I don't think there. I was going to see my drug dealer. I am a drug dealer. That would be like. I mean, that would explain large amounts of cash. It wouldn't explain him being in one place for that long of a time, though.

No. Other than that, I can't help you. Can we also address her name? How is it funny when there's no double? you there. It's Fanny. It's Fanny. It's Fanny. It's Fanny. It's Fannie. It's Fannie. It's Fannie. It's like the BG song, you know, or love, be tender with my Fanny. But it's one of those. It's one of those. It's one of those. For sure. Yeah. Like, do you think she remixed this just because she knew people would be making these jokes? Yes, I think she did. She's like, all of a sudden, it's Fonnie. I might,

you pronounce my name Fawney, not Fanny. Yeah. I wonder, I'm, I assume at this point, we would know if this were not true. But it feels like six weeks before this incident happened, she was calling herself Fannie. I feel like in the beginning of this, everyone was calling her Fannie. They were. And then all of a sudden,

we're all supposed to call her Fonnie. Right. Which I refuse to do. I'm not going to. You're not going to. No, I'm not going to. No, I'm not going to. No, even if it is her name,

Ben Longstanding. I don't care. You don't care. I'm a rebel that way. You really don't care about this story at all. At all. So whatever I reference it, though, it's Fanny. I mean, I won't tell you that this leads to even, I mean, this makes your point that nothing will happen.

This leads to even more destabilization. Because if she's not punished for this, she's not taken off this case. If she doesn't lose her license, it just shows again, they'll do anything. They don't care. Did you read the story in the Atlantic? This is crazy. Let me give you the Atlantic story here. Headline.

How Democrats could. disqualify Trump if the Supreme Court doesn't. Without clear guidance from the court, House Democrats suggest that they may not certify a Trump win on January 6th. Saw that. Isn't that an insurrection? Isn't that what we've decided? That's an insurrection. On January, you got to be kidding me. Yeah. Near the end of the Supreme Court oral arguments about whether Colorado could exclude former President Trump from its ballot as an insurrectionist, The attorney, representing votes from the state, offered a warning to the justice, one evoking the January 6th riot that had set the case in motion. By this point in the hearing, the justice made clear that they didn't like the idea of allowing a single state to kick Trump out over the presidential race.

So they didn't appear comfortable with the court doing so either. Sensing that Trump would likely stay on the ballot, the attorney, Jason Murray, said if Supreme Court didn't resolve the question of Trump's eligibility, it would come back with. with a vengeance after the election when Congress meets once again to count and certify the votes of the electoral college. It will come back with a vengeance on January 6th. Are you kidding me? And this, this was Fannie Fannie, but Willis, she is, she's coming in, if, If there's no law in Georgia, there's no law in New York, no law in D.C. And they decide on January 6th to come back with a vengeance, you know there will be demonstrations all over.

And then they overturn the election. What the hell has been happening for the last four years? Yeah. I mean, that's obviously like a major concern. And that's why I think for me, the Fannie Willis story is interesting. I mean, I like more than anything else just picking apart their horrible stories, which is just hilarious to me. But at the end of the day, like, the political implications of this are really interesting. Because, you know, if you look at the polls, you have a certain section of people who are voting for Trump who say, if he's convicted of a felony, they will not vote for him.

Now, do you believe that? I am skeptical of that claim. Like, I am skeptical of someone who says there are voting for Trump now, and if he gets convicted of a felony, my belief is they will find a way to talk themselves out of the felony really mattering and will vote for Trump anyway. Unless they're Democrats. Now, Democrats could easily be saying that. Right.

Of course they're saying that. And it could be, but people in the middle, people who don't follow this stuff every day. But if there is a high profile case like this Fannie Willis situation where, we're, we're, we're One of the big accusations against Trump blows up spectacularly, I think it's going to give a lot of people, you know, okay, they got him on this. Maybe they get them on the documents case later on. But like, in people's minds, I think it's going to be cemented that a lot of this was just crazy political attacks.

And that's what Trump politically needs to convince people of. He needs to be able to get people over that line think this actually was unfair. Certainly this has worked with Republican primary voters. But remember, he can't win. this election with just Republican primary voters. He's got to win it with people in the middle. And those people who are vulnerable to the mainstream media's narratives here, if you have one of these big accusations blow up like this, it may just give him a pass on all of them.

Well, I think that it, I mean, I'm only taking this from the left and the Democrats. So maybe it's not true. But I've heard since Bill Clinton that when you persecute somebody like this, and you're unfair and you use the court system to go after them. What happens with the black population, Pat, according to their storyline? They're sensitive to it. And they will rally around that person. So Trump has been saying, you know, this might actually hurt them in the end with African Americans.

MSNBC had a whole segment with somebody who was like, this is an outrage. What a racist thing to say. the Chiron at the bottom of the screen, it said, Trump claims indictments appeal to black voters. Trump claims that? Well, I don't know. I learned that from the DNC. Back in the 90s.

Yeah. And the only reason you were going after Barack Obama was because he was black. Our first black president was only black because he was involved in a scandal and everybody went after him. And so now you know what it's like to be a black man. What are, I mean, which I don't know which one it is. Which one is it? I'm hoping that scandals don't appeal to blacks.

I'm hoping that truth appeals to blacks. But I've been taught, we've all been taught dutifully by the mainstream media and by the DNC that, no, no, no, you don't understand. Yeah. So if you happen to be black and listening and you'll have something. and you'll have something to say, I'd love to know. Which is it? Because that changes the dynamic, if that's true.

It's just amazing that they keep trying to put people in these categories and appeal to them like this. It's just like, appeal to individuals. I wouldn't even have brought that up if it wasn't for MSNBC. I'm looking at this guy around and I'm like, wait, but that's what you've been saying forever. Right. That is 100% what they've been saying. And it's how they treat the world, right?

They treat the world with this weird prism of race all the time. Everything's seen through that. Everything is, it's the most important thing about each and every one of us. Yeah. And look, it's a built-in defense for people like Fannie Willis, right? Which when she goes to the black church, she says, the reason they're persecuting me is because I'm black. And even though she knew she had lied, she went to church and lied even more and also used her own quote unquote people. as a defense mechanism to the lies she knew she was already making.

It's really crazy. To a court. How you can lie and lie and lie to people and to the media will be lied to. And they'll report on those lies, then expose those lies. They'll be exposed as lies. And everybody just keeps listening to the liars. Yeah. They're complicit and it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter at all. Doesn't matter. Packray from Packray Unleashed. Thanks for joining us. never tried to allow myself to be caught off guard when unexpected things happen.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. We're glad you're here. I don't even understand this story. Hunter Biden in a new story. Hunter Biden, President Biden privately has expressed worry that Republicans' daily attacks on the criminal prosecution of his son, Hunter, are taking a toll on his family

and could even lead Hunter to a relapse given the family's history of struggling with addiction. Well, Hunter Biden knows this. He told Axios in a rare interview that he sees his continued sobriety as crucial, not only to his life, but also ensuring Donald Trump

doesn't return to the Oval Office. Hmm. Help me figure that out, why would his sobriety be key? Because his dad would have less credibility if Hunter starts using crack again? I mean, maybe he thinks it would look bad and it would affect the Biden campaign negatively if he was out smoking crack again in the streets. I will say, I actually see this as more if they're a last line of defense. Like, if he's about to go into a trial, right? And they're about to go into that. And all the

sudden he goes on a crack bender, he's going to go into rehab for six months and they'll be able to get out of it for a while. I would not be surprised. I will not be surprised at all if he has a relapse and that delays any information we get about the Hunter thing. Of course. Would you be surprised at all if this is how it plays off? Not at all. It plays out. I wouldn't. No. No. And they'll blame it on us. They'll blame it on, you know, the right that we were just persecuting this poor fellow. You know, I wish him all the best in sobriety. It's really hard.

I'm sober. And it is not easy, especially after watching his dad. I can't imagine what it's like up close. But, you know, it's hard to keep your sobriety. And I wish him all the luck. I, you know, I, you know, is everybody. It seems like he forgot a few steps. on the 12. That's what he'd want

up doing. Yeah, I mean, it's like there's about eight of them. Actually. He's forgot about eight of the commandments and seven of the step, the 12 steps. Wow, which which one of the commandments do you think he missed? That wasn't a statistical analysis. I was just joking. Oh, man.

All right. Back with more in just a second. Stand by. The Glenn Beck Program. Welcome to the program. We're glad you're here. Peter Switzer to come on. He's got a new book out. He's with the Government Accountability Institute. He's a president of it. He is the author of Blood Money. It's a new book, How the Communist Chinese Party is sewing chaos in the United States. This is a powerful, powerful book that reveals, why is it we keep remaining quiet when China does something? Why aren't we doing anything?

Peter Switzer, always amazing because he's got a team of researchers that just go deep. And in this case, he has gone into the Chinese Communist Party covert operations, the American drug trade, the social justice movement, the medical establishment, and has seen now the chaos and the documentation for it from the Chinese Communist. party. Peter joins us in 60 seconds. Some people in this world truly are on a mission from God, and nowhere is that truer than the wind of the ministry of preborn. Their mission is very, very simple, save as many babies as they possibly can from the evils of abortion. Been proud to stand by them as they reach out with love and compassion to pregnant women who in difficult times

are at the darkest and most difficult moments of their life. There are very few women, maybe 10, 20% maximum that actually don't have a problem with the abortion, at least afterwards. Introducing an expecting mom to her unborn baby through a free ultrasound that doubles the chances that mom will choose life, but then moms also feel alone. There's nobody to support them. They don't have anywhere to turn. That's why pre-born goes the extra step. That's why they've rescued 288,000, thousand babies through love, compassion, free ultrasounds, and everyday kindness, decency, and support for these moms. They rescue 200 more babies every day. The left fights for death. Will you fight for life? The left won't stop, so we can't either. Donate securely now,

just dial pound 250. Say the keyword baby. It's 28 bucks for an ultrasound so they can provide that mom with a free ultrasound and a picture and a heartbeat of her baby. Preborn.com slash Beck. That's preborn.com slash Beck. Or to donate on the phone, just use keyword baby at pound 250. As always, Peter Switzer is with us. Hello, Peter. How are you? Hey, I'm great, Glenn. How are you? Very good. Hey, I just got to ask you, were you anywhere near James Biden when he threw that really expensive diamond away? No, but I think I'm going to go look through his track. Yeah.

That's not the sort of thing I would throw away. Yeah. It's, I mean, the, the excuses on all fronts between Fannie Willis and the Bidens, I mean, who believes this stuff at this point? Yeah, no, I think that's right. I mean, you've got a core of people who, you know, so hate Trump, so hurt, so hate traditional conservatives. that they are going to suspend any logic and reason and just follow blindly with the things that they're being told. We were told for a long time Joe Biden had no knowledge of any of his family's business dealings. We now know that he does, and he's reverted to, well, I didn't make any money off of it, and that's not true either.

And so you see this pattern continuously, but this is the onward march of the truth, Glenn. You've been on this on so many fronts. We've tried to be as well. The truth is undeniable. People will kind of pretend it's not there. They'll obscure it. They'll attack the messenger. But I still believe truth wins out in the end.

And you're seeing, I think, the House of Cards starting to implode. I think so, too. Before we get into the new evidence, why do you say that? What do you see? What I see is I see the attitude and trends of the American people. I mean, they were, you know, they were talking. told repeatedly that Joe Biden was a centrist, that he was the adult authority. And I think sort of the last vestiges of the mainstream media institutions were able to persuade a sizable portion

of people to that fact. I think a lot of people now feel betrayed. I mean, I have friends who were, you know, Biden supporters in 2020, who said, this is not the guy that we elected. Forget the cognitive stuff. And this is the problem. I think a lot of the these institutions believe that they can continue to deceive and manipulate without a cost. Well, it's costing them in terms of their credibility and severely damaged. And if you look at the polls just on the Biden corruption story, which we've been on, you know, since 2018, you've now got in the high 60 percent on all these surveys, Harvard Harris, ABC News, et cetera, staying that American people believing that Joe Biden either committed

crimes or engage in unethical behavior to help his family's business. So that to me is an amazing number. They haven't, though, connected it to the policies. For instance, the balloon, the Chinese balloon. We had another one, you know, we thought, you know, this one is apparently a hobbyist. I don't know if that's true or not. But, you know, when you see things that are happening with China, you're like, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, for instance, on the border, you have, I think

46 questions if you're coming into the United States. illegally. You have 46 questions you have to be asked. He told the Department of Homeland Security and Border Patrol they could only ask, what was it, seven or something like that? Right. If you're from China. And nobody connects that. Can you help make that connection here? Yeah. I mean, look, I think one of the things I talk about in the book is the whole issue, fentanyl. Hang on, just a second. Hang on, hang on, hang on. I just want to teach you this. And I know you know this already, but stop referring to it as my book. It's called Blood Money. So every time, you know, it's like I talk about in blood money, just trying to help you sell. Go ahead.

Thanks, Glenn. Yeah, no, it's in blood money. I talk about, I talk about how, you know, I got, I got a lot of documents leaked from Homeland Security from other government agencies. China's involvement in fentanyl is completely at every link in the chain, not just the precursors that everybody knows about, the port that the precursors go into Mexico. That port is run by a Chinese company. The precursors are sent to a small town in northern Mexico where 2,000 Chinese nationals happen to be living, helping the drug cartels turn the fentanyl into, you know, the precursors into fentanyl.

They use Chinese pill presses. Homeland Security says, Chinese companies sold those pill presses to the cartels at cost. They're not even price gouging them. They're selling them at cost to create this poison, which is poisoning American. So, so, the cartels, the Mexican, Peter, I've said for a long time that this is, this is the drug war. They learned this, you know, in the opium wars, what England did to them, they're doing to us. Does that stand up? Absolutely, 100%. They, they talk about.

that. And here's the thing. I mean, they are involved in every level from the precursors to the money laundering. The drug cartels used to launder their money in Latin American banks. They now launder them in Chinese state-owned banks. And they actually use some Chinese students that are here on education visas are the ones that are laundering the money for these cartels. So here's the problem, Glenn. That's what China is doing. And to those of us who have studied China, to a certain extent that's not surprising. Here is the shocking, surprising part to me, which is our political class, many of them will not talk about China's involvement. And the reason is they are compromised. You ask connect the, you know, the Biden flow of money to a

particular policy. I would say sentinel. Think about this reality for a second. I talk about this in blood money. The guy that leads a Chinese criminal gang called UBG, this is a is the criminal gang that set up the Sinaloa cartel in the fentanyl trade and made them the kings of fentanyl. Everybody acknowledges UBG did that. The guy that heads it up is Zhang Anlo. He goes by the name White Wolf. White Wolf has a business partner who, as I document in the book, sent $5 million to the Biden family. Now, does Joe Biden really want to have a conversation about Chinese involvement in the fentanyl trade? No. And that's why he won't do it. That's why he won't confront them, even though it is now the leading cause of death for people under the age of 45 in the United States.

It's like a jetliner getting shot down every single day, 365 days a year. That's what's happening to us. Joe Biden won't talk about it because he's compromised. And as I think I also show in the book, the same thing with Gavin Newsom, Mitch McConnell, Adam Schiff, and others. They do not want to have this conversation because they have entanglements that are very, very embarrassing. thing for them politically. Talk a little bit about these people, Peter, because as you do in all of your books, you don't, this isn't a partisan attack.

You go after, you know, when Mitch McConnell is guilty, you go after him, when Gavin Newsom's the target, you go after him. So talk a little bit about some of these figures specifically because it's hard for people to believe that when you're talking about the cost of life that is tied to the fentanyl situation, that people would be this, you know, this aspect. absent when talking about this, but it seems like they are. No, that's a great question. I mean, I'll give it that the Gavin Newsom part to me was perhaps the most surprising.

You know, governor of California, obviously recently took a trip to China where he talked about how he just loves the Chinese government. He talked to them about sentinel, but emphasized it's not about finger pointing. The one people he did point fingers at when he was in China was Republicans in the United States, saying that they're too hard on Beijing. So, you know, in California since 2016, you've had a 1,200 percent increase in fentanyl deaths. Gavin Newsom does not want to talk about China's role. Why is that? Well, when you look back into his history, beginning when he was mayor in San Francisco, he has a longtime relationship collaboration with figures that we know are involved in Chinese

organized crime. When he was mayor of San Francisco, he appointed a gentleman named Alan Long to head up redevelopment, economic redevelopment in Chinatown, San Francisco. Turns out the guy was a dragonhead in an organized crime syndicate, Chinese organized crime syndicate that was involved in the drug trade. He had a gentleman on his transition team as mayor of San Francisco. Turns out he was also involved in the organized crime efforts, Chinese organized crime, involved in the drug trade. Then when he set up as mayor of San Francisco, something called China SF. This was designed to get Chinese investments into San Francisco for economic growth. He picks a guy named Vincent Lowe, a Chinese businessman, who has already been

reported has ties to Chinese organized crime. But that's the one guy that Gavin Newsom signs a memorandum of understanding to with ChinaSF. And you have to ask yourself, why on earth is he doing that? And as I also point out in blood money, that meant that triad or Chinese organized crime businesses that are tied to them now came into the Bay Area. And they were actually brought into the Bay Area through this program Gavin Newsom set up called China SF. Now, I'm not suggesting that Gavin Newsom is involved in the drug trade, but what I am saying is he made some really, really, really bad decisions. And I think he knew he made decisions that he was doing business with because he thought it was politically. expedient. And that, you know, the history goes forward from there. But my point is, Gavin Newsom does not want to talk about China's involvement, Chinese organized crime involvement

in the fentanyl trade, because that's going to open up lots of questions about him and the relationships that he has. So he's making a politically expedient decision, even though Californians are dying every single day from this poisoning that's being engineered by China. All right. So I want to take a quick break, Peter. And then I want to come back. I want to talk about White Wolf. And does the president know that all of this is happening and he's playing a big role in it? How could he not? And also I want to know about Mitch McConnell as well. We'll do that in 60 seconds. Stand by. Credit card balance is increased by $50 billion in the fourth quarter of last year. That's a billion. B. B. That's $50 billion in our debt. Americans are sitting on more debt than they ever have before, and it's a time bomb. Everything is more expensive right now.

He is the author of a new book called Blood Money. And it is all about the Chinese Communist Party, sowing the seeds of chaos in the United States.

Before we move on to other things, I just want to ask you about, I mean, if I'm doing business with somebody whose nickname is White Wolf, I think I back away from that deal automatically, but maybe that's just me.

How much do you think the president knows about his dealings and his connections to what's happening on the border? It's a good question. It's very clear, and I think even the Biden team would admit this, that he's aware that his family has received large sums of money from China, you know, tens of millions of dollars based on the private equity deal, based on the money from CEFC, based on the money from Henry Zhao and others. So I think he's aware of that.

I think he's also aware of the leverage opportunity that it presents. By the way, Glenn, I should add, it's not just the president. It's the president's family lawyer, Abby Loll, that has some of these issues as well. He has represented a Chinese businessman named Hang Lapseng, who turns out also is widely reported to have been linked to Chinese organized crime, including a syndicate involved in the international drug trade. And the work he was doing was not courtroom work for this guy as a lawyer. He was actually doing legal representation work.

So these entanglements are a real problem. I think the president's aware of it. I think it's the reason we have this soft posture. You know, they present Mitch McConnell does the same thing, saying that, oh, we're being tough on China. We have these sanctions. If somebody is recognized as being involved in the fentanyl trade, we're going to sanction them.

The Chinese are laughing at this. There's a Chinese businessman man named Juan, who was sanctioned by the U.S. government in 2021, he gave a speech after he was sanctioned where he talked about how proud he was that the activities he were doing were helping China in their competition with the United States. And in March of 2021, the Chinese government actually gave him an award after he was sanctioned for being involved in the fentanyl trade. So, you know, their quote-unquote hard position on China on fentanyl is an absolute joke. And that goes for the Biden administration. That goes for Mitch McConnell. We've talked before extensively about the McConnell family's deep ties in China. They're in the shipping business. A big part of the fentanyl problem, I would argue, involves a Chinese company called Hutchison that owns these ports, including the port in Manzanillo, where more than 90 percent of the fentanyl precursors arrive. So Mitch McConnell does not want to talk about this either.

That is, that's just remarkable. By the way, he's in the shipping business. I think they used to be called the import-export industry, which we all know was just rife with crime. Anything to, Peter, I didn't follow this story at all, but I guess was it his sister-in-law or somebody was killed recently, Mitch McConnell's, and the speculation was that because he's involved with the Chinese drugs. Is there anything to that at all? Not that I know of. It's Angela Chow. That is Mitch McConnell's wife's sister. Angela Chow was for a while on the board of the Bank of China, which is the Chinese run bank, which is highly unusual for an American to be so. I know that she died and they're looking at it right now. Apparently she was in a car that ended up in a pond or in a lake in Texas. But again, I'm surprised there's not more news attention being focused. on that and I think it needs to be investigated because these are highly sensitive issues that deserve investigation. So China knows what they're doing, and this is only one of their

lines of attack. Yeah. And their goal is to collapse us? Yeah. I mean, they have a strategy called disintegration warfare that was actually a book published in 2010 by Chinese officials. They've also published a previous book called Unrestricted Warfare that just basically said, look, the way you win wars is not by actually fighting wars. You defeat people in peacetime. And the way we have to think about it is America is on fire. China is holding this empty can of gasoline and our leaders are doing nothing about it. And that includes violence in the streets, kind of thing. The name of the book is Blood Money by Peter Swites or more in just a minute. Glenn Beck. Donna wrote in about her dog's experience with Rough Green. She says,

My Wiener Dog, Odie, is 15. And until recently, he just wouldn't eat any food at all, only human food. Since I got the Rough Green's, he's done exactly what you say in all of your advertisement. He licks the bowl clean every time. I saw Uno this weekend. He pushed that bowl all the way. We feed him in the laundry room all the way over to the pile of laundry, which is on the other side of the laundry room. Into the laundry. His face was like buried in the laundry and I'm like, what are you doing, buddy? And I realized as I pull him away, he's got the bowl tucked in there. He's just licking it so hard.

He loves it and apparently so does Odie. If you would like to try this for your dog, it's not a dog food, it's a supplement that you put on the dog's food. The dogs love it and it's really good for them. Rough Greens. R-U-F-F-F-Greens.com slash Beck. You can call them now at 833 Glenn 33 or go online. You'll get your first trial bag for free.

He is the president of the Government Accountability Institute. He is also a guy who has written several books, exposés, on both the right and the left. The left now forgets that he does that, and they just call him a tool of the right. But he lets the chips fall where they may, thus why he's also talking about people in several books like Mitch. McConnell. So, Peter, we're talking about in your book Blood Money, how the Chinese Communist Party is sowing chaos in the United States. Is there, I mean, not that there needs to be, but do you have evidence of more things other than just the fentanyl? Oh, absolutely. Take the issue of the trans movement in the United States. I mean, this just erupted in the last five years.

Well, as I point out in the book, two of the biggest funders of the trans movement in America are China-based billionaires. One is an American Marxist named Arroy Singham. He worked, he built a company called ThoughtWorks. He was a consultant advisor to Huawei, a Chinese military-linked company. He sold his business, made him a billionaire to a private equity company, partly owned by the Chinese government. He moved to Beijing. He's very close friends with. people in the CCP. He gets invited to their events. He's put more than $160 million into radical

causes in the United States, including the trans rights movement. The other Chinese billionaire doing that is a guy named Joe Tsai, who is the co-founder of Alibaba. He has poured tens of millions of dollars into the trans rights movement. And in addition, he owns the WMBA team in New York, the New York Liberty, which was the first professional sports team to have a a trans athlete play. Now, here's the very troubling part for me, Glenn, about this is these guys do not push for these rights in China. They only push for these rights in the United States. There's no, you know, they're not trans. They don't have family members that are trans. This is clearly an effort to, you know, destabilize the United States. If you look at a lot of

the violent actions in the streets in 2020 with BLM or the violent actions in the streets now involving pro-Hamas demonstrators. There are a couple of groups, FRSO, PSL, that spearhead these really radical, violent protests. And as I lay out in the book, these organizations that take

their marching orders from China, in some cases, there are financial ties. They consult with Chinese officials, and I quote from Chinese government reports, where they actually monitor and track the behavior of these organizations. And then the other part I would add is online.

There's so much craziness online. The Chinese military, the PLA, has thousands of experts that run individually thousands of social media accounts where they pose as Americans in the United States. Basically, half the accounts, Glenn, say America is a hopelessly racist, bigoted society. And the other half of the accounts say, I only like white people. And they're posing as Americans. I think we are actually less divided. than we believe we are, and China is trying to create fissures between us. And they're very explicit that this is part of the disintegration warfare strategy that they've embraced.

Where would you put this on the scale of SIOP operations of the past from Soviet Union and everything else? How big is this? No comparison. I mean, look, the Russians lacked sophistication when it came to this stuff. They lacked capacity. China is very, very aggressive in their approach here. And if you think about it, it's brilliant. It's basically saying we're going to beat the United States without actually fighting a war.

And as we focus exclusively on, you know, how many battleships do we have or how many aircraft carriers do we have? What is the situation in Taiwan? Those are important issues. I'm not saying they aren't. But that is the exclusive focus in Washington. Nobody wants to focus on China's meddling in the United States. States. I will tell you, I somewhat disagree with you. We, that's why are, that's why we're doing a

color revolution op, really, I think, on ourselves and all over the, the world. We are doing that, but we are not doing it with China. We'll do it in Ukraine and everything else where we'll have these color revolutions and, and use many of these tactics on our own people now, it has been shown. Yeah. But China is approached as a friend in many ways. Yeah, no, exactly. I agree with you. Yes, there's no question the color revolutions that, you know, started in the Obama administration. The Chinese actually cite those as examples of what to use. But yeah, I mean, the problem is we don't have an awareness of this. And there are people on the political left that have some affinity for Beijing that don't want to have this conversation. I have in the book, for example, quotes from,

there's a Chinese organization called the Center for the Study of Foreign Marxist Party, political parties. It reports directly to the Central Committee, the CCP. We got access to their analysis in the United States. And one of the points of analysis is that, yes, the Communist Party USA is disorganized, it's small, and it's irrelevant. But they talk favorably about the role of people like AOC and Bernie Sanders. And they say, while these are not perfect vehicles, they are still very helpful vehicles in advancing the agenda that they have in the United States. So, you know, the political left doesn't want to talk about it because these are their champions. And yet, there it is in black and white, according to the Chinese point of view.

Talking to Peter Schweizer, the book is Blood Money and it's out tomorrow. You need to get a copy of it. Peter, can you talk about the, how much of this stuff that China's trying to do, would be ineffective if we had a secure border? And is this one of the reasons why we continually treat the border with such little significance in the federal government? Yeah, no, I mean, that's a great point. I mean, there's obviously the issue of illegal immigrants coming, particularly from China. It also involves certainly with fentanyl, but there's another problem. It's, I talk about in the book. Part of the Chinese strategy is just so, violence in American streets. China has a history of selling machine guns to radical groups and

criminal organizations in the United States, going back to the 1990s. They do it today in a very clever way with a small device called a Glock switch. It's a small switch that you put on a Glock handgun. It converts a Glock handgun to a fully automatic machine gun. It's obviously highly illegal in the United States, highly illegal in China. China you can't even own a firearm. And yet the Chinese are openly marketing them and smuggling them into the United States and selling them to criminal gangs in this country. It's a massive widespread problem. The rate of machine gun fire on American streets has escalated.

And Customs and Border Protection first identified this in 2018. They finally have started to detect these things as they arrive in the mail. So what are the Chinese now doing? They're now going south of the border. they're setting up machine tool operations with the cartels, and they're starting to smuggle these devices across the open border. So it's illegal immigrants, it's fentanyl, it's now these devices they're going to sow chaos in American streets because these devices are being targeted specifically at drug organizations and violent criminal organizations in the United States.

So, Peter, you at some point in the book, Blood Money, you say, the CCP, tricked the Trump administration into COVID lockdowns? Yeah. What do you mean by that? What evidence do you have of that? Well, a couple of things. One, if you remember back in March of 2020, there was a report issued by Imperial College of London by a professor Ferguson,

and it presented this apocalyptic view that if we did not imitate the Chinese and have lockdowns, there were going to be two million American dead within the next six months, and they're going to be 500,000 dead in the UK. And if you look at the accounts, the memoirs that have come out, this had a very profound effect on Donald Trump and the administration. And this moved us to the point of saying, maybe we need to start looking at some of these things. And in fact, we did.

Here's the problem. That Imperial College of London study was done under Chinese influence. Imperial College of London is a leading academic partner of the CCP. government in China. They have a long cooperation there. That particular study included Chinese data. It included Chinese scholars. And then the Chinese, and again, I quote extensively from them, had a strategy to impose the authoritarian model for responding to disease on us. Because you've talked about this, Glenn, before this point, the response was always, people that are sick should stay home. Everybody else should go about their lives ordinarily. That's not the Chinese.

model. The Chinese actively pushed that in the United States. So one of the things they do, as I report in blood money, is they donated, I'll put that in quotation marks, drones to American cities, particularly in California and New Jersey, hundreds of drones that local governments, our own governments, started using to monitor their own people to make sure they were adhering to lockdowns. And this was part of a Chinese strategy to get us to embrace some of the these authoritarian approaches. And it's really quite extraordinary. And one of the reasons that we have a certain individual on the front cover of the book,

Tony Fauci, is because we reveal in emails that we obtained, et cetera, that he covered for the Chinese in this regard, that he would not criticize the Chinese. It's not just about the lab leak. He would not criticize the Chinese. He embraced the Chinese. their lockdown approaches. And he kind of poo-poohed and criticized Americans. There's a famous exchange where a New York Times reporter is emailing with Tony Fauci

and says China has been heroic in their response to this crisis with COVID, unlike, you know, Americans who are basically being fat, selfish slops. And Tony Fauci's response was, yeah, you make a really, really great point here. I mean, in other words, he agreed with him. So that's the disdain that a lot of these leaders had for their own countrymen and the embrace that they had for this authoritarian model that the CCP imposed. So I'm out of time. Peter, will you come back in a couple of days when you can come up for a breath of air and tell us where we need to start to dismantle? I mean, again, I thank you for exposing all of this. You're usually so far ahead of the curve, but I think America senses now something is.

really wrong, especially with our relationship with China and the border and fentanyl. So you're right on the money here. I'd love to have you back to talk a little bit more about where we should begin to dismantle and how that can be done. Yep. We'd love to do it. As always, Glenn, appreciate your encouragement and support as always, and I'm glad to come back. Got it.

the beginning of the hour that you know the house of cards is coming down but i mean i i don't know how you put this genie back in the bottle and isn't it interesting how everyone talks about disinformation from russia and no one talks about disinformation from china with what he said by the way his book has over a thousand footnotes at the end, over a thousand. He's very well research. You know anything about Peter. Yeah. It's interesting.

The two things, if you think about just the fact that we don't really talk about the Chinese part of this as opposed to, let's say, the Russian part of what they do. And Russia tries all sorts of shady stuff too. But China never gets talked about. That's one. And then two, the fact that China does all these things in our country and not in theirs is really powerful to see what their motivations are. Yeah.

Like, why? They're rotting us from the inside. Yeah. Intentionally. And they, you know, the idea that the nation of China is playing a long game is not a new one. It's well known for, and it has been for a long time. But the fact that they're doing it so overtly, it doesn't seem like they care about any consequences here, Glenn. Like, it doesn't.

And it explains why thousands of Chinese military age men are here. You know? You look at, where was that? Was that Maine or Vermont? It was Maine, wasn't it? The guy who called in and said all these Chinese operations are happening, you know, here in the state, they're all coming across the border and they're selling drugs and all the money's going back to China and nobody's doing anything.

It makes this make a little more sense. What's the reason for, because you mentioned something off the air briefly as we were coming back from commercial about how this ties into the fond. Willis situation. I think this ties into the Fannie Willis thing on nothing matters. Lack of consequences. Yeah, there's so many people involved in this that, you know, nobody's being prosecuted. No, it ever pays a price.

Nobody pays a price for anything. I mean, they released a virus that killed millions of people. They didn't pay a price for that. Right. And so it's like, it's like why, you know, if you're just out for yourself, I'm going to get mine. Why not? Why not do that? Because nobody ever gets caught doing anything and pays a price for it.

Everyone within the sound of my voice should have these three books, and I do not mean have them online.

You must have a copy, a hard bound or a paper copy of these three books. The first one, the 5,000-year leap. the miracle that changed the world. That miracle was America. And it is the clearest defining of our principles and what makes us, what made us, 5,000-year leap. Number two, the American story, the beginnings. The American story, the beginnings, is the second book you should get. and that's the beginning of a series. The second book in the series comes out tomorrow, The American Story, Rebuilding the Republic.

Those three books you must have. Why? Because the truth of who we are, what got us here, what our real history is, good, bad, ugly, is being erased. All of it is being erased. Right now, when you have AI, and we know this as a fact now.

AI is going through any digital libraries, and they are making small but meaningful changes in history. At some point, you will not be able to go online and find the true history of America. It must be preserved by people like you. And the American story, book one, the beginnings, and now building the republic, written by David Barton and Tim Barton, his son, and they join me now, comes out tomorrow.

David, how are you? Good, man. Good to be with you. I am so excited for this book because you guys tell really pithy stories. You cover a lot of ground. It's easy to read, and they're fun. They're great stories. The thing I learned when I began teaching at church is the teacher thinks when you're going in, I'm going to teach these kids.

But if you really take it seriously, the teacher learns more than the kids do, usually. So you've been teaching American history forever. Tim, you're teaching American history now. What did you guys learn that maybe shocked you? You know, I think I was shocked at the content, the amount of material that was brand new to me, and I think I've been through tens of thousands of original documents. I think I have a pretty good feel for the original content. content and yet there was so much more that I had never been exposed to.

But anything that was beyond nuance, anything that was like, oh my gosh, this is, we have this wrong. Are we? Yeah. And there definitely were things that were affirmations. We were going the right direction. But then some were fun tidbits like George Washington. We know we had teeth problems, right? And you know he had dentures.

Well, he lost his first tooth to rotten decay when he was 23 years old. By the time he was president, he had one real tooth left. Oh. And he lost it as president. So our first president had no teeth, right? I mean, kind of fun, nuanced things. But then when you go further, things that have shaped the landscape in judicial structure, the precedent of Marbury v. Madison, judicial review, that you can come in and review and change things.

Explain, pretend I don't know what that case is. Okay, so Marbury v. Madison, the way it's generally understood, and this is one of the changes when we did some research, and realized that the way it's being used today is a misrepresentation of what it was. But the way it's taught is... No, no, wait. Tell me what it is first. What case, what is it?

So Marbury v. Madison, it was a case where Marbury was initially serving under John Adams presidency. Jefferson becomes president. And there's multiple judicial appointments, a last-minute midnight appointments. Right. And Marshall's the guy who is supposed, to deliver all these appointments, get all these judges there.

And he has 24 hours to do it. And they don't all get delivered in time. Jefferson is in office the next day. And apparently some of these appointments were left on a desk. And Jefferson sees him and he's like, yeah, we're not going to do that. And so they are not given, even though Adams made the appointment, they were not delivered. So are they actually judges or not? Are they supposed to hold this position or not?

this is the case that goes for the Supreme Court. Well, the Supreme Court then determines that, yeah, these guys really should have their positions because it was given an appointment. Where it becomes fascinating is the Supreme Court justice that delivered the decision was the same guy who failed to deliver those things in the first place. Oh, my gosh. He was one of the appointments that he made the Supreme Court. When the case gets to the Supreme Court, he's the one. So instead of recanting and saying, like, I shouldn't be here, well, then it gets even deeper and there's even more details. So what happens is this is really the first time you see pure D partisanship among the Founding Fathers.

Because John Adams is a hardcore federalist. Thomas Jefferson is nonpartisan. He doesn't think you ought to have a party. He thinks shot out principles. But he's running against Adams. And Adam says, well, you're not a federalist. So you're a bad guy. So it's a really vicious, vicious, vicious campaign.

This is the campaign where Adam says, oh, your daughter's heads will be on a pike after Jefferson is elected. Your children will be raped and murdered. Oh, the sermons were preached by each side against the other. We got sermons that it's just unbelievable. And it was not Adam's saying that, but it was people on Adam's side that were saying that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right. And Jefferson went back and said that Adams was amaphrodite, figure, having neither the firmness of a man or the, what was it, the wisdom of a woman,

something like that. That's right. And so what happens with this thing is this is where this actually led to a constitutional amendment because it was back then that when you got elected president, it was four months until the next president took office. So you've got a four-month lame duck period. And in that four months, John Adams, and he's got a Federalist Congress and the House and Senate, He said, all right, let's do everything we can to put laws in place that Jefferson can't change.

And so for four months, they're legislating like crazy. And that's where the Marbury Madison comes from, because what happens is Jefferson is a, he is an nonpartisan guy. And he thinks the courts ought to be just read the Constitution. And Adams says, more, no, it needs to be the federalist view of the Constitution. That's amazing. And so Adams comes up with 58 judgeships. The Congress created 58 new judgeship so he could stack the courts with his, guys. And then when Jefferson gets in, he's going to have these 58 new judges. So he gives all,

they get the judicial commissions. It's called signed, sealed, and delivered. They make the commission. Then John Adams signs it. Then they put the seal of the United States on it. And the secretary state delivers that to the judge. And that's signed sealed and delivered. That's where the phrase comes from. So he did that for all these things, except as Tim pointed out, your secretary of state was John Marshall. John Marshall. And what Adams does, he says, well, to really reinforce the Supreme Court. I'm going to put my Secretary of State as Chief Justice U.S. Supreme Court, so he points Marshall to be the Chief Justice Supreme Court. Holy cow. This is what they're doing. The left does now. Exactly. But what the argument is today is that where you're supposed to have

judicial review, that the Supreme Court can look and they can't overturn things. And from the very beginning, this was wrong. And John Marshall shouldn't have been a part of this case to begin with because he was the one supposed to deliver them as Secretary of State. He did not. So there's so many things about this, but the way, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is where judicial review comes. And this is, it's on such a flawed historical basis. This is, and I'll tell you, what's really interesting, too, is if you'll look at judicial review, the right of the Supreme Court to review legislative actions and strike them down,

that's what's taught in every law book today. You're not going to find that taught in the 1800s or the 1700s. That's a 20th century thing that progresses picked up. And so what happened. So wait, wait, wait, wait. It didn't change things at the time. No. it was brought up by the progressives later.

Later, as the example of how you should do it. It's very similar to when the progressives brought up Jefferson's phrase, separation of church and state and used it right in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s to remove religion. When if you go back and read Jefferson's letter, he's not talking about removing religion. He's talking about protecting religion from the government, but this is what progressives did. And in the midst of this, what's also contrary to the way it's understood today, is that, well, Jefferson didn't deliver any of those. No, Jefferson actually took what was left, and he actually reviewed and said, you know,

some of these people actually make sense to be judges. But then there were some. He's like, we don't need like dozens of judges in this one little area. They had more than 20 judges just in Washington, D.C. alone. And that's a brand new city. Why do you need 20 judges? Because you can do what they're doing today. That's right.

But literally, he says, we don't need all these judges. So he made a very practical, pragmatic decision and said, we're not going to give all these out. but Marbury is one of the guys who didn't get the appointment. So it goes to Supreme Court. John Marshall's like, yeah, that really should have been delivered to you. And it's a shame it wasn't. We're going to uphold this position. Well, he was the one that was supposed to deliver it.

Nonetheless, these are things as we say it. And right, I mean, I understand right now we're getting into the weeds of some of these stories that for history people is fun. That's not where the majority of the book is about. Our premise with the book is that the majority of people would know the names of Washington, Adams, Jefferson Madison, right? Maybe even an Andrew Jackson. We know those names.

But if we were to ask people, can you tell me a story of James Madison? And they might say, well, he wrote the Constitution. And we'd say, well, that's a fact regarding, that's not a story about him. We don't know their stories anymore. And because we don't know their stories, we don't know the examples. We don't know the lessons, the precedent. All we know are the weeds. Right.

That's right. And so often what we know is not actually correct about them. But. So let me ask you, what did you learn? Oh, geez, time to start. flying. I've got to take a break. Let me pose this to you first and then you can answer when we come back. What did you learn about John Adams? Because John Adams is the first guy that puts in the Sedition Act where, you know, you print something that is against the government, you can go to

jail. So unconstitutional, so un-American. What happened to him? What did you find? Is he a good guy or a bad guy because I can make a case he's a really good guy but then there's these things right after you're like what what happened to him um i can't wait to hear your answer if you have one uh that's coming up in just a 60 seconds first let me tell you about car shield if you've never dodged a bullet before let me tell you what it might feel like having your car break down on the side of the road but knowing you should have gotten car shield and the bullets are flying when you enroll with car shield you're getting protection plans that start as low as $100 a month, flexible, month to month coverage, your choice of a certified mechanic, 24-7 coast-to-coast roadside assistance, complementary towing and rental car

He's hard to understand.

With the research that we've done, looking at the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, he's not that hard to understand. He's not at all. He's not a Sphinx. The one has become a Sphinx for me is John Adams. John Adams was part of the committee, ran the committee, if I'm not mistaken, to draft the, the Declaration of Independence. He is he's a fighter. He goes and he, uh, uh, you know, make sure that the, the, the English are represented in court. He destroys his career pretty much for, for a while. Um, he, he just always strikes me as a good guy. Then he gets into office and I'm like,

what are you doing? John Adams was absolutely superb on broad principles and, um, and, and, and really on key leaders. He's the guy who says, George Washington's got to be our commander-in-chief when nobody wanted Washington. He's the guy who said, Jefferson's got to write the declaration when he barely knew Jeff.

He was really good on broad principles. Where he falls apart is when it gets into policies and policy-making. His principles are so sound, but he doesn't translate them because he carries personalities with him. So he gets ticked at Jefferson. Now he's going to retaliate.

One of the really good things about him that I liked is he was humble enough, to really go back and reconcile with Jefferson late in life. After they had been political enemies. And good friends for a long time. So he is really good on broad principles and on seeing the right pieces. He just doesn't put them together or well-made policy with it. So he's a bad executive.

He was a bad executive, yeah. And I would go further too, is in doing the research, some of the context that comes out, is every president oversaw a war to some extent. So part of why Jefferson and Adams have a falling out under Washington's administration is because England and France are back to war. And half Washington's administration is team France. And half is like, no, no, no, we're team England. And so they have a falling out because obviously practical arguments,

we don't become a nation if France isn't our ally. If their Navy doesn't come, we don't win the American Revolution. But we've now been reconciled to England for 20 years. And they're our number one trade partner and all these things. So they have this falling out. France is trying. This is the time when Jefferson and Thomas Payne go to Washington right at the end of his term, right? Yes.

We got to support France. Middle second term. Yeah. And so Adams was on Washington side saying, no, no, no, you don't understand. It's a different revolution. All the federalists, man, the federalists were hardcore pro-Great Britain. I mean, when the war of 1812 breaks out later, they oppose the war of 1812 because it's against Great Britain. But wait, Great Britain's taking your ships,

they're impressing your guys, are blowing down the water. But they're so loyal to Great Britain at all costs. We'll stand with Great Britain, and that's where Adams was. He was overly loyal to Great Britain at a time when Great Britain was attacking us and taking our sailors. And to go further, it wasn't just Great Britain that was attacking us and taking sailors. France sent some of their naval vessels,

and they were impressing Americans. They were attacking American ships. So even part of what leads Adams to do this Alien and Siddition Act is France has actually sent people to America to recruit Americans to join them. They're impressing Americans. And so Adams is like, we're stopping this right now. So it wasn't the idea of necessarily silencing American voices as it was silencing the French people in America. But the reason I say it is you can look.

That's what Wilson did with Germans. And you saw where that went. Right. But for Adams, I think some of his motivation was very good. But the way it played out became very, very bad in some areas. And we kind of dive through this. in the book giving context, and it's not to justify him, but you see where he's coming from. And it's a little bit like when FDR, and this is not quite the same, but FDR doesn't

determine the Japanese. I'm like, that's totally evil. But I understand if you're in FDR's position, you're like, what options do we have? We know there's Japanese spice here. We don't know who there. I don't know. Listen to the guy you sent out to find if there were, if it was a widespread thing, who came back and said, no. And then it was ordered to start them and immediately quit. I mean, he built them. And then immediately quit. And I don't want to. anything to do with this. That's right. Yeah. So. And that's where that's where Adams is really good on the broad things. He really got the broad things right. When it came to putting him into policy and applying them, he messed up pretty often. I think that's the way I would be as president. I'm pretty

good at the broad things, but I would be horrible as a president. I would be horrible as a president. You know, you can that you have, everybody has their own skill. And, uh, and, uh, and to recognize it, which I think you're saying that Adams did. At times, right. Adams is kind of an indispensable man. And we call Washington that. But without Adams, you don't get the results that we got in the revolution because he helped put the right people. You know, look at how we look at Elon Musk now. And I'm not saying politically. I'm still out.

I don't have any idea where he is. However, it was those kinds of brains that there were multiple versions of an Elon Musk back then. This has never happened before. Hopefully it would happen again. But we'll see. Okay, maybe we're too far in the weeds. I mean, it's a geek fest when we start talking history and the American Revolution. The name of the story is the American story, Building the Republic.

Please, they do all of their research on original documents and from the people of the time. They're not going in and going, well, you know, I believe what he was really saying. you take it from them and take it from the people that actually witnessed things. So let me ask you a couple of things. I have looked for bad things on Washington just because, I mean, he was so seemingly perfect and such an ideal man. Does he stand up after the scrutiny of really looking into the first presidents? Do you think he stands up? Absolutely.

Especially comparatively, right, to the other presidents. He set the tone in the example, and the example he set put America on the trajectory for success, like nobody could have done. As you mentioned, looking at him for flaws and errors, obviously, we come from a position, right? Nobody's perfect. Yeah. As people of faith, we believe that Jesus came because we're not perfect. With that being said, was he the perfect man for the job unquestionably? Did he do things nobody else could have done, of course?

and he reminds me a little bit in the Bible. There's four gospels, the gospel of John. John finishes the gospel by saying that were we to include everything Jesus did, there's not enough books, right? There's not enough places in the world. That's kind of how you feel about Washington. The more you research and study him, you're like, this guy. You found he made mistakes, but you didn't find any like.

Nothing. He's amazing. It is amazing. And the other one, John Quince-Aims was a lot like that. I know everybody's got good, bad, ugly about him. John Quincy Adams was another that was amazing for the lack of mistakes and the lack of really bad decisions that he made. It's just not theirs. Opponents were really rough, like Andrew Jackson.

But I was really surprised at both Washington and John Quincy Adams, how clean their administrations were, how well they unified people or tried to. I mean, they were principal-driven guys. Yeah, because we were talking about the divide, you know, with Jefferson and Adams. Is that in the first seven presidents? Is that the most divide? Is there a lesson here for us on division and coming back together? Did you learn anything from any of these guys? Well, I think it makes a lot more sense why Washington,

his farewell address gave some of the advice he gave. Yes. It wasn't just open-ended advice. He's literally watching his own cabinet, right? The people he's mentored, he's worked with his friends, his allies, he's watching them fall apart. So when he says, focus on principle more than party, right?

Don't be so distracted with foreign entanglements. Focus on us more. He's not necessarily speaking to the ages. No. He's speaking right then. Directly to the issues. Shows man never changes. And because man doesn't change,

he is speaking to the ages. And it's interesting that when you get to the war of 1812, I would say the really good presence that I saw Washington, absolutely. Jefferson was remarkable. Madison had a tough hand dealt with him with the War of 1812, and that War of 1812 was a very dividing war in America.

Yeah, because you had the, like you said, some of them were very, very pro-English. They were. Pro-England, pro-French, and so it's a very divided country. So Monroe comes in as the president after Madison, after the war. And the war was so bad that New England

threatened to secede from the United States if we declared war against Great Britain. That's how pro- Great Britain they were. So they had secession conventions in the north. If you declare war against Great Britain, we're leaving the United States. That's crazy. I never knew that. No, that's how bad it was.

So here comes Monroe in. How do you unify a nation that is all split? Monroe, to his credit, and I don't agree with all of his policies, but to his credit, he said, we've got to have unified America. We've got to remember our principles. You've got to remember what we fought for. So as president, for the next three years, he doesn't stay in Washington, D.C., doing legislation.

He gets in a carriage, and he goes, place. to play city to city across the United States, he puts back on his own revolution from when he's a soldier in revolution. He's just showing off, I'm not fat. He can still fail. He puts his hair in the ponytail. He powders his hair. And he goes and meets with all the veterans from World War, excuse me, he meets with veterans

from the Revolution and from the War of 1812. Guys, remember what we fought for. Remember what America's all about. And he actually looked up his greatest political opponents, those who were allowed to skin. He went and met with them and sat down. had meals with them. And it gets to where that people... Wouldn't that be refreshing? Wouldn't that be something? And so the newspapers in Boston, which is where they hated the most, they said, this is the era of good feelings. And all the parties went away because he kept reminding the principles.

How did the people react? Like right now, if you had Donald Trump go, I mean, well, he introduced Lindsey Graham the other day, who I don't like, I'm not a fan of it. No. But that was not a pleasant reaction. If you had somebody like Donald Trump going and have dinner with, I don't know, whomever and was nice and open and they said, oh, we had a wonderful, half the country, maybe all the country just split on different sides, would say this is horrible. But see, this is what Madison did for several years. This is what all the news reports are for several years. He's traveling city to city to city. All the local papers are just meeting with his opponents. He's sitting down and talking. And so I don't think.

think you can get it done in one meeting. Trump can't do in one meeting. It would be a sustained period of time where people have to start rethink and say, well, I don't agree with them on that. What was the effect by the end? It was a unified nation. Now, eventually they get into division again later, because people just like to fight, I guess. But he brought the nation together. And to his credit, that was a remarkable. And to say brought the nation together, the largely the Federalist Party disappears. So there's one major party. There's fractions inside the party. Because inside that party. You have a John Quincy Adams and an Andrew Jackson who are on the same party. Very different positions on a lot of major issues. So they are very divided. Obviously,

you know, we're more team John Quincy Adams. We think Andrew Jackson right pretty nasty in a lot of ways who he was what he did. But specifically politically, because Jackson was by his own explanation, not suited or qualified to be president. He said, I am, I am suited and I'm qualified to lean men into battle where bad stuff, right? Violence needs to happen. He says, that's what I'm qualified for. I'm not suited for this political stuff going on. But Jackson's the guy that when he finally becomes president,

he is the one who, the adage that to the winner go the spoils. Up until Jackson, every single president before him had chosen people based on their qualifications, not based on their party or based on the personal connection they had. So I gave, hang on just a second. I gave, I said this years ago, David, I said, I think that Jackson, at the end of that, if Washington could have come back a few years after, he would not say we were the same republic after Jackson. Do you believe that true? Yeah, what Jackson did was when he got into, Tim said, and there's political cartoons today to the Victor Go to Spoils, that was Senator Macy of New York who said that he won, he gets

And so he's the first guy to say, the people elected me on my agenda. Instead of America, it's my agenda. And he's the first one to take and start making the federal government respond to his political agenda. And as Tim mentioned, in the first 40 years of the American Republic, they averaged dismissing two federal employees a year for the first. He dismissed more than a thousand in his first year. That's a lot of people back then. This is how much he did. He came in and said, everybody in the federal government is me, and they're going to.

to have my viewpoint. I don't care if you're competent or not. You're going to do it my way. So what he does is down to the postmasters, the local postmasters, you've got to be a Jacksonian to be a postmaster. And so what he does is he actually takes one of his cabinet guys and makes him the postmaster general. He then makes the postmaster general a cabinet-level office up there with Secretary of State and Secretary of War and everything else. And so then the Postmaster General says, hey, any post office that doesn't like the message they're receiving, you don't have to deliver to the mail of the message you're receiving. Oh my gosh.

So in the South, if you have abolition material going south, the postmasters won't deliver it. So it's essentially like Biden going to the social media companies saying, hey, take down all the post of these guys, I disagree. I mean, Jackson literally weaponized every level of federal government for his personal agenda, not for what's good for the United States. And that's pretty much what we have today is whoever gets elected, they elected my agenda. We're going to have. So how do we then, how do we look at? Because if Trump goes in, he has got to fire. I mean, I would be for this, with anybody doing it, you have got to shut these agencies down or pair

them to the bullet. And they're going to say, you're just trying to force your agenda. They're going to say he was doing or will be doing what Jackson did. What's the difference? The difference is back in the time of the founding fathers, you're not looking at 2.3 million people that cannot be fired. everybody in the government could be fired at the time of Jackson. You can't do that today.

And so, you know, Trump's looking at, well, I flip a coin. If you're born an even year, you're fired. If you're born in odd years. The way the union has run the government, you cannot recover it without a massive structural change under the civil service kind of laws. Well, now I would go further to say that it's not when you have the state Supreme Court of Hawaii saying that it's time for us to, we're past the Constitution. We're going to move past the ruling they did on guns just a couple weeks ago. And we don't need the Constitution. I said we've evolved past the Constitution.

That literally. When you look at where we would be today, the challenge wouldn't be where we're going to fire all of the liberals or Democrats. I don't know. Like there's a lot of Republicans who don't need to be there either. And so it should be, well, who upholds the Constitution, right? That's who stays. I don't care if you're Democrat Republican.

Do you believe in the Constitution? Do you uphold the Constitution? And so then it's not. I think you'd lose about 2 million out of the 2.3. Absolutely. Because Democrats and Republicans, they never talk about the Constitution. They never talk about the Constitution at all. And that's really what the first six presidents did was if you're constitutional, I don't care if you're my party or not, you stay.

Jackson said you've got to be my party. And that was the dividing line. And the good news we highlight in the book, as we go through so many of these stories, give so many examples, we see the decay in that time and it's repeating itself over and over. But we point out if we would go back and follow some of George Washington's basic advice. Oh, yeah. We could restore so many things now. So what brought us back from the brink of Jackson? Did it take the Civil War?

It was a Civil War. Yeah, it was the end of the Civil War, which will be part three, right? That's the next book coming out. We'll go through there, go through reconstruction. And really, I don't know if America's ever fully, we haven't. Actually, we can't say. We've never fully recovered from what Jackson started. We've only corrected course slightly a little bit.

Pushed it back or, unfortunately, then use that same system to go our way. Just somebody else in power. I don't want either of those things. Guys, thank you so much. It is great to have you on. I'd love to do another show with you because I learned so much. So maybe we'll have you back. The book is out now. You can get it. The American Story Building the Republic by David Barton and Tim Barton. The American Story. Now this is volume two. Volume one is the beginnings, which takes everything that happened before that led to the American Revolution or through the founding of our republic. And this takes it up to January. Jackson. These are must have books. I wish these were acid-free papers, so they would last forever. But you have to have a hardbound copy of any important book. And I can't think of any books that are more important to have other than the scriptures and the founding documents than these two, if you want to understand American history, and preserve it for your kids.

From the mainstream media perspective. So it's going to be very pro-Israel. Oh, no, no, it didn't come out that way at all. And it's maybe a tad offensive, but I feel like it is important to shine light on how absurd the coverage is of Israel versus Hamas these days. How much of the, how many of the lines that you took, how much of it is, at least in the exact spirit of what has been said on mainstream? It's 100% in the exact spirit. I mean, it does maybe go a tad farther than at least they do publicly. Yeah.
