Will the left FINALLY recognize Biden’s MASSIVE CORRUPTION?

Joe Biden has been COMPROMISED. And now, Biden family corruption in places like China, Ukraine, and Russia may be disrupting the president’s foreign policy decision making significantly. Peter Schweizer, author of ‘Red-Handed,’ joins Glenn to detail why a Hunter Biden indictment may be on the horizon. Plus, Schweizer explains why he actually has HOPE the far-left, mainstream media FINALLY will report this story the way it deserves…

GLENN: We are possibly on the verge of World War III. Nuclear war. We have a president who is darn near mentally incapacitated. We have a vice president who is an absolute imbecile. And not only that, our president has been compromised. No one will talk about how stupid Kamala Harris is. Nobody will -- nobody will actually -- oh, she's great. She's great. Do you want her as president of the United States?

Because she's literally a very weak heartbeat away from being president of the United States. Be a disaster. You want her making decisions if we go to war?

VOICE: No. No.

GLENN: Stop. Okay. So we have Kamala Harris. We have the president's health, his mental health, and the fact that he has been compromised by the three people, the three countries, we're now engaging and talks about war. Russia, China, and Ukraine. This is -- this rises to high crimes. For the first time, I've seen the Nixon. I've seen the Clinton. And also, the -- the Trump. And Trump was, I thought, nothing. Clinton was about the definition of is. Are we going to be able to -- are we going to allow our president to lie? Because that was the high crime and misdemeanor of Nixon. He lied. He covered it up. We've blown past the lies. And this is the very first time I have actually seen a provable high crime. And no one will even discuss it, in the mainstream media. Peter Schweizer is here. He's the author of red-handed. He's the president of government accountability institute. He says, that the White House is bracing for the indictment of Hunter Biden. But is that really -- I mean, is that going to take us to the White House, and Joe Biden's corruption?

Welcome, Peter. How are you?

PETER: I'm great. Always good to be with you guys, thanks for having me.

GLENN: Thank you. So let's start with Hunter Biden. What have you heard? What is coming?

PETER: Well, we had this New York Times piece, that ran last week. Which talked about the grand jury. That was convened in 2018. They're looking at several possible crimes, including tax evasion, money laundering, failing to file, as a foreign agent with the Department of Justice, and political corruption. And the Biden administration, and the Biden campaign, before that, had absolutely nothing to say on this issue. Now suddenly, you have a story appear in the New York Times. The New York Times admits on page -- sorry, on paragraph 17, that okay. The laptop is real. But what I think is really important, Glenn, is that in this article, the team Biden basically acknowledges. Not by name. But acknowledges that Hunter Biden may very well be indicted. At least on the tax evasion charges. And they reveal that he's paid a million dollars in backs taxes. Of course, he did that 18 months after the grand jury started looking into this. But to me, that is a massive admission, that they are trying to get ahead of this story. They realize that it's a big problem. And I think that it's going to create an enormous problem within the Biden family. Because the question becomes, does Hunter Biden take the fall for his dad? Or if he is indicted, does he actually fight this? And by fighting it, it brings in all the material from the prosecutors about how some of the money ended up with his dad and the favors that his dad performed. So I think they're in serious panic mode, in team Biden.

GLENN: All right. So I have to believe that the president would just tell his son, don't worry about it. If you are convicted, I will just pardon you. Which he can do, right?

PETER: Yeah. That's exactly right.

GLENN: Okay.

PETER: And, of course, the other hurdle, Glenn, is that a grand jury, which is American citizens, look at this and say, he should be indicted. Merrick Garland and the Justice Department could theoretically say, no, we're going to take a pass on that. But that would be, I think, create a huge crisis. It would be a huge stain on Merrick Garland's career. But maybe he's prepared to do it. So there's several hurdles here. But we're now finally getting to the point where we're seeing official action that will take place. And, of course, next year, Republicans take the House and possibly the Senate. You will have committees with subpoena power, looking into these issues as well. So the circle is starting to close.

GLENN: Right. And there is -- am I wrong in saying, this is the first high crime, that I have seen, that could be charged for impeachment? Not in my lifetime. I haven't seen a high crime. I've seen lying about things. Covering things up. Some things that, you know, I don't want. But this is this -- this is taking money illegally from foreign countries, and having it funneled to you, by your family. All of that is illegal.

PETER: Well, correct. And add to that, the national security implication.

GLENN: Correct.

PETER: Because you talked about, when my book came out. The $31 million that we know they received from China, came from four businessmen, all of whom are tied to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence. Meaning, at the same time they were helping the Bidens. They were business partners with like the vice minister of state security, which is their spy apparatus. So this has all the markings of a Chinese intelligence operation. And the Bidens happily went along with it.

GLENN: So what does this mean? As we are now looking at an axis/allied world. China is clearly on Russia's side. And Biden is threatening China. Which I think is insanity. But he's threatening them. What does this mean? What does this old relationship do? Or how does it affect us in any way?

PETER: I think it affects us in lots of ways. Here's the irony in this. When Joe Biden became vice president of the United States, his son Hunter decides to set up a financial consulting business. And the three countries, that he does the most work in, are China, Ukraine, and Russia. Who are all center stage today. And, by the way, I don't think this was by random chance. I think those four countries, he did business in. Because they all have deeply corrupt, political, and corporate cultures.

GLENN: Correct. Correct.

PETER: So you have a situation right now, where, you know, the Bidens have received millions of dollars from a Putin-linked oligarchs, who are now facing sanction, by the Biden administration. And Hunter Biden on the laptop, there was a video of him. Released. This was the one with him, and the girl. He's sort of talking to the girl. One of the thing he says to the girl, who is presumably Russian. Is that he's afraid that he's compromised to Russian-organized crime. That's one of the things he actually says in the video. And if you look at who has put money in his pocket, Yelena Baturina, for example, the wife of the former mayor of Moscow. Our State Department, actually meaning the Obama State Department at the time, declared that Yelena Baturina was linked to Russian organized crime. So there is one thread that could be pulled against the Bidens.

And then you look at Ukraine. And, of course, what is happening there, by Russia, is horrible. This is -- I think we've known who Vladimir Putin has always been. This should not be a surprise. But there are entanglements in Ukraine as well. I mean, Zelinsky is being absolutely heroic. But let's be clear. Who put Zelinsky in power? It was a Ukrainian oligarch named Kolomoisky. Kolomoisky was also one of the owners of Burisma, which is the company that was paying millions of dollars to Hunter Biden. So you have conflict upon conflict, and then, of course, you've got the China ties. And China now has positioned itself to benefit from the sanctions we're putting on Russia. Because the way Russia is going to evade sanctions is by selling energy to China. So it's an absolute mess. And it's why we have to be so concerned when our foreign leaders have these entanglements. Because there's a time of crisis like this. The notion that Joe Biden, not factoring in that his son and his family's reputation and his reputation could be severely damaged by any one of these foreign actors was revealing facts and information. Is ludicrous. Of course, he's calculating that. And that's part of the problem.

GLENN: Well, if anything came out from Russia, he would say disinformation. And he would say the same thing about China. And there are those who would want to believe that. You know, Roger Ailes said something to me, when I first started at Fox, and I said, Barack Obama is lying. He is a liar. And I was called into Roger's office. And he said, don't say that. And I said, it's true. He was lying about this. I have the tape of him saying this, and then the tape of him lying about it. He said, yeah, but nobody wants to think of their president as a liar. Nobody wants to think of that.

PETER: Right.

GLENN: It's too ugly. And I think he was right. And so there are a lot of people, that they -- they don't want to look at this. And the press is happy to oblige. Does the press -- they're still making it about the sex and the disgusting parties and photos of him having sex with everything that moves. They're making that into the story. That's not the story. The story is the compromise of the president of the United States. Is anybody going to report on this? Peter, are they --

PETER: I think they will. And I say that for a couple of reasons, Glenn. First of all, I think what you're starting to see is elements of the Democratic establishment are starting to turn on Joe Biden. They see that his approval ratings are way down. They see that he's not popular. And I think they recognize that he's not probably going to be in any condition to run for reelection. If he did run for reelection, he would soundly lose. And, of course, they have the Kamala Harris problem. But I do think the Democratic establishment sees Joe Biden as a negative, increasingly. So out of political expediency. They're going to try to maneuver in such a way, that casts him aside. I think the second thing though, that's outgoing, is the media -- the media is now one of the least trusted institutions in America, that was a recent survey, I think it was Pew. But I'm not sure. That said, the media's approval rating is actually lower than Congress.

GLENN: Wow. I think that's -- that's in the teens.

PETER: Yeah. That takes some doing. That takes some doing.

GLENN: Yeah.

PETER: So, you know, look, my experience is there are reporters in the so-called mainstream media, that want to cover these stories. The problem is with the editors and the managers. And they have to be at some level, deeply embarrassed about this. Because people who read their paper don't know what is actually going on. And the divide between reality and what they're reporting is getting larger and larger. So I get accused of being overly optimistic. But I do feel like there are several trends that are moving in the direction of this being exposed by the media.

GLENN: That would be -- that would be nice. You know, I was just thinking, as you were talking about the reality of this actually coming to light. And the president losing his gig over this. If I were planning to destroy America, there couldn't be a better way to do it, than to run a president through an impeachment trial, while a country was at war. God forbid we go into war, and we have to remove the president. Because you can't have a compromised president. I mean, you're going to go to -- Kamala Harris, what a nightmare. But can you imagine what our allies would think, if -- I mean, they think he's weak now. Can you imagine an impeachment trial going on at the same time? It's a disaster for the United States.

Could passengers have SAVED Iryna Zarutska?

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
