0:00:21.537 --> 0:00:25.017
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton Show. On this episode, we have the one

0:00:25.017 --> 0:00:28.377
<v Speaker 1>and only Peter Schweitzer. You will know him from his

0:00:28.497 --> 0:00:31.657
<v Speaker 1>many best selling books. He's an investigative reporter and author.

0:00:37.177 --> 0:00:42.017
<v Speaker 1>Helping China win is really important and I'm excited to

0:00:42.017 --> 0:00:43.657
<v Speaker 1>talk toim about it now. Peter, Great to have you

0:00:43.697 --> 0:00:44.097
<v Speaker 1>on the show.

0:00:44.817 --> 0:00:46.537
<v Speaker 2>Great to be with you, Buck, Thanks for having me.

0:00:46.777 --> 0:00:49.497
<v Speaker 1>So just give everybody if we could start this because

0:00:49.497 --> 0:00:51.017
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're going to talk Biden and we're going

0:00:51.057 --> 0:00:52.897
<v Speaker 1>to get into some of that, and we're going to

0:00:52.977 --> 0:00:56.137
<v Speaker 1>talk about some of the specifics here of individuals who

0:00:57.177 --> 0:01:01.417
<v Speaker 1>it seems we're willing to certainly sell themselves, if not

0:01:01.497 --> 0:01:03.737
<v Speaker 1>sell out their country a little bit on behalf of

0:01:03.777 --> 0:01:06.897
<v Speaker 1>the Chinese Communist Party. Give us a sense of the

0:01:06.937 --> 0:01:08.897
<v Speaker 1>scope of the problem.

0:01:09.337 --> 0:01:12.457
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the scope of the problem touches basically all the

0:01:12.497 --> 0:01:16.217
<v Speaker 2>corners of America, Washington, d C, Silicon Valley, and Wall Street.

0:01:16.617 --> 0:01:18.937
<v Speaker 2>And it's predicated on a very simple idea that the

0:01:19.017 --> 0:01:22.177
<v Speaker 2>Chinese have, which they call elite capture. They've used it

0:01:22.217 --> 0:01:24.537
<v Speaker 2>in New Orleans, sorry, New Orleans. They've used it in

0:01:24.577 --> 0:01:27.137
<v Speaker 2>New Zealand. They've used it in Australia, they've used it

0:01:27.137 --> 0:01:30.257
<v Speaker 2>in Singapore. And the idea is pretty simple. Rather than

0:01:30.297 --> 0:01:35.097
<v Speaker 2>go to toe toe to toe with countries and have confrontations,

0:01:35.177 --> 0:01:37.737
<v Speaker 2>you basically buy off their political elites, and you do

0:01:37.817 --> 0:01:41.337
<v Speaker 2>that by giving commercial deals to their family members. And

0:01:41.377 --> 0:01:44.257
<v Speaker 2>it's working very, very well in the United States. It

0:01:44.257 --> 0:01:46.577
<v Speaker 2>includes people on both sides of the isle, and it

0:01:46.617 --> 0:01:48.657
<v Speaker 2>includes some of the biggest names in Wall Street and

0:01:48.697 --> 0:01:50.737
<v Speaker 2>Silicon Valley as well.

0:01:50.857 --> 0:01:53.817
<v Speaker 1>So give me some you know, we're, like I said,

0:01:53.817 --> 0:01:55.457
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get to the Biden component of this,

0:01:55.577 --> 0:01:59.777
<v Speaker 1>but it's a lot more than that in China's efforts

0:01:59.817 --> 0:02:03.497
<v Speaker 1>to undermine the United States from within, and a lot

0:02:03.497 --> 0:02:07.217
<v Speaker 1>of ways I find even more frightening, Peter than some

0:02:07.337 --> 0:02:10.977
<v Speaker 1>of the you know, the Soviets were relying on ideological

0:02:11.537 --> 0:02:13.137
<v Speaker 1>fellow travelers comrades.

0:02:13.217 --> 0:02:13.337
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:02:13.377 --> 0:02:17.017
<v Speaker 1>For the Soviets, it was this false promise of a utopia.

0:02:17.257 --> 0:02:21.537
<v Speaker 1>Find some malcontent in America who thinks that eventually he'll

0:02:21.537 --> 0:02:23.417
<v Speaker 1>be greeted you know, it's back in the in the

0:02:23.457 --> 0:02:25.777
<v Speaker 1>fifties and the sixties, the seventies, he'll be greeted as

0:02:25.777 --> 0:02:28.257
<v Speaker 1>a hero. There were the occasional whether you know, an

0:02:28.377 --> 0:02:30.777
<v Speaker 1>FBI turncode or somebody who was doing it just for

0:02:30.817 --> 0:02:33.697
<v Speaker 1>the money, but you know, usually the money is not

0:02:33.737 --> 0:02:35.897
<v Speaker 1>that good and if you get caught, you're gonna go

0:02:35.977 --> 0:02:37.497
<v Speaker 1>to prison forever. Right, So it was people that were

0:02:37.537 --> 0:02:42.377
<v Speaker 1>ideologically motivated. Usually with China. If they can give people

0:02:42.497 --> 0:02:45.537
<v Speaker 1>millions and millions of dollars and they're not going to

0:02:45.617 --> 0:02:47.777
<v Speaker 1>jail for it, I feel like that's a lot more

0:02:48.297 --> 0:02:51.537
<v Speaker 1>problematic for us because it's a much more persuasive bargain

0:02:52.017 --> 0:02:55.057
<v Speaker 1>and therefore gives them much greater leverage to undermine the

0:02:55.217 --> 0:02:55.977
<v Speaker 1>US from within.

0:02:57.097 --> 0:02:59.337
<v Speaker 2>No, I mean, this is a key point, Buck. We've

0:02:59.417 --> 0:03:02.497
<v Speaker 2>never faced anything like this, and you're correct. I mean

0:03:02.537 --> 0:03:06.497
<v Speaker 2>the Soviets others like the Cubans use an ideological appeal,

0:03:06.577 --> 0:03:09.337
<v Speaker 2>or they find somebody that's got personal financial problems that

0:03:09.417 --> 0:03:12.657
<v Speaker 2>needs election the extra cash. What the Chinese do is

0:03:12.657 --> 0:03:17.017
<v Speaker 2>they appeal to our sense of capitalism, they appeal to

0:03:17.057 --> 0:03:21.057
<v Speaker 2>our sense of friendship, and they embrace it. And it's

0:03:21.177 --> 0:03:23.817
<v Speaker 2>very very effective. And where there are people that are

0:03:23.857 --> 0:03:27.577
<v Speaker 2>so wealthy, like Bill Gates, who don't necessarily need money

0:03:27.617 --> 0:03:31.457
<v Speaker 2>from China. They appeal to their sense of value as

0:03:31.537 --> 0:03:33.817
<v Speaker 2>a world leader. So a guy like Bill Gates, you're

0:03:33.817 --> 0:03:36.377
<v Speaker 2>not going to necessarily get by some commercial deal because

0:03:36.417 --> 0:03:39.377
<v Speaker 2>he's already worth one hundred billion dollars. But you can

0:03:39.457 --> 0:03:42.657
<v Speaker 2>name him one of the fifty most influential people in

0:03:42.777 --> 0:03:46.337
<v Speaker 2>Chinese history, right next to Karl Marx and Mao, and

0:03:46.377 --> 0:03:49.657
<v Speaker 2>you can give him awards, and President g will shower

0:03:49.737 --> 0:03:52.417
<v Speaker 2>him with attention when he shows up. So they're very

0:03:52.417 --> 0:03:57.497
<v Speaker 2>good at taking our weaknesses, taking perhaps some of our

0:03:57.617 --> 0:04:01.857
<v Speaker 2>sins or sinful nature, and using it to their strategic advantage.

0:04:01.857 --> 0:04:04.177
<v Speaker 2>And they've been masterful at it. And as you point out,

0:04:04.617 --> 0:04:07.177
<v Speaker 2>not really any of this is illegal, which is what

0:04:07.257 --> 0:04:08.257
<v Speaker 2>makes it so challenging.

0:04:08.657 --> 0:04:12.817
<v Speaker 1>Right, you take a suitcase full of money to give

0:04:12.857 --> 0:04:18.537
<v Speaker 1>the names of you know, US agents operating in let's

0:04:18.537 --> 0:04:21.697
<v Speaker 1>say the Soviet Union. It's treason and you know you

0:04:21.737 --> 0:04:23.657
<v Speaker 1>could even get the death penalty for this, right, I mean,

0:04:23.777 --> 0:04:25.577
<v Speaker 1>you're you're in a whole hell of a lot of trouble.

0:04:26.177 --> 0:04:30.017
<v Speaker 1>You get millions of dollars for consulting from China, because

0:04:30.097 --> 0:04:32.217
<v Speaker 1>you're some kind of you have some kind of business

0:04:32.257 --> 0:04:34.577
<v Speaker 1>interest in that country, or they're going to pay you

0:04:34.657 --> 0:04:38.297
<v Speaker 1>for your expertise. That's just capitalism, baby, right, that's a

0:04:38.337 --> 0:04:43.657
<v Speaker 1>whole different ballgame. Give us some sense of who who's

0:04:43.777 --> 0:04:46.417
<v Speaker 1>involved in this in a way that when you were

0:04:46.417 --> 0:04:49.177
<v Speaker 1>doing your research for Red Handed, the book that everybody

0:04:49.177 --> 0:04:51.657
<v Speaker 1>should check out get a copy of right now, how

0:04:51.697 --> 0:04:56.377
<v Speaker 1>American elites helped get American elites get rich helping China win.

0:04:57.737 --> 0:05:00.297
<v Speaker 1>Who's involved in this that was a little surprising, or

0:05:00.897 --> 0:05:05.337
<v Speaker 1>their involvement in getting rich from China was so egregious

0:05:05.457 --> 0:05:07.177
<v Speaker 1>that you had to say to yourself, is this really

0:05:07.257 --> 0:05:07.937
<v Speaker 1>what's going on?

0:05:09.537 --> 0:05:12.137
<v Speaker 2>Good question. Well, I'll give you a couple of examples.

0:05:12.217 --> 0:05:14.697
<v Speaker 2>One that was particularly appalling to me. I think it's

0:05:14.697 --> 0:05:18.017
<v Speaker 2>an illustration of what selling your soul looks like. Is

0:05:18.257 --> 0:05:22.257
<v Speaker 2>a Wall Street Titan named Ray Dalio. Ridgewater Associates the

0:05:22.337 --> 0:05:25.377
<v Speaker 2>largest hedge fund in the world. Ray Daalio in twenty

0:05:25.417 --> 0:05:30.137
<v Speaker 2>seventeen wrote this glowing book called Principles Ironically, and in

0:05:30.177 --> 0:05:33.937
<v Speaker 2>that book he describes a gentleman from China who's had

0:05:33.977 --> 0:05:36.857
<v Speaker 2>this profound effect on him, and he writes glnely for

0:05:36.937 --> 0:05:41.337
<v Speaker 2>seven pages, how Wonki Sean has been this remarkable force

0:05:41.417 --> 0:05:44.417
<v Speaker 2>for good on a global scale. He talks about him

0:05:44.457 --> 0:05:48.137
<v Speaker 2>as this sort of philosophical giant that's unlike any leader

0:05:48.697 --> 0:05:50.417
<v Speaker 2>that we've had in the last one hundred years, and

0:05:50.417 --> 0:05:53.097
<v Speaker 2>he just gushes on and on and on. So I'm thinking,

0:05:53.137 --> 0:05:55.097
<v Speaker 2>who is this guy, Wonky Sean? I look it up,

0:05:55.137 --> 0:05:59.177
<v Speaker 2>and of course he is She's enforcer. The Economist magazine

0:05:59.217 --> 0:06:02.137
<v Speaker 2>calls him the most feared man in China, because if

0:06:02.177 --> 0:06:05.017
<v Speaker 2>you get disappeared in China, Wonkyi Sean is the guy

0:06:05.017 --> 0:06:07.497
<v Speaker 2>that makes it happen. And so I thought to myself,

0:06:07.537 --> 0:06:11.297
<v Speaker 2>what prompts a guy like ray Daalio, who's clearly smart.

0:06:11.537 --> 0:06:13.417
<v Speaker 2>He can go and look at what the Economist says

0:06:13.457 --> 0:06:15.857
<v Speaker 2>about this guy. Why is he gushing on and on

0:06:15.937 --> 0:06:19.257
<v Speaker 2>and on for seven to ten pages about how wonderful

0:06:19.297 --> 0:06:22.577
<v Speaker 2>this person is as an individual. Well about a year

0:06:22.617 --> 0:06:25.657
<v Speaker 2>after he publishes the book, Wonky Sean is the Chinese

0:06:25.657 --> 0:06:30.057
<v Speaker 2>official that approves his company, Bridgewater Associates, to become the

0:06:30.097 --> 0:06:34.537
<v Speaker 2>first Western financial firm to offer hedge front products to

0:06:34.617 --> 0:06:37.297
<v Speaker 2>the average person in China. So, to me, that is

0:06:37.337 --> 0:06:41.177
<v Speaker 2>a classic example of the appalling lengths to which people

0:06:41.217 --> 0:06:44.857
<v Speaker 2>are willing to go in order to cash in before

0:06:44.897 --> 0:06:47.257
<v Speaker 2>I go to the I'm trying to hold myself back

0:06:47.257 --> 0:06:49.017
<v Speaker 2>here a little bit on the political want.

0:06:49.057 --> 0:06:51.857
<v Speaker 1>I want to know the full everything you got on Biden,

0:06:51.897 --> 0:06:54.457
<v Speaker 1>everything you got on Pelosi when it comes to this stuff.

0:06:54.897 --> 0:06:57.697
<v Speaker 1>I think's interesting though, on the cover of your book

0:06:57.737 --> 0:07:02.337
<v Speaker 1>Red Handed, Lebron James is there. How does Lebron James

0:07:02.377 --> 0:07:04.617
<v Speaker 1>find himself on the cover of a book about people

0:07:04.657 --> 0:07:06.057
<v Speaker 1>selling out to China?

0:07:07.017 --> 0:07:10.617
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's interesting. Lebron James actually probably make some more

0:07:10.737 --> 0:07:13.377
<v Speaker 2>money from his deals in China that he does in

0:07:13.417 --> 0:07:16.457
<v Speaker 2>the United States, and he has some very lucrative deals

0:07:16.457 --> 0:07:19.777
<v Speaker 2>with Chinese state media and other entities. And while people

0:07:19.817 --> 0:07:24.177
<v Speaker 2>are familiar with sort of the kerfluffel in twenty nineteen

0:07:24.217 --> 0:07:27.337
<v Speaker 2>when the Houston Rockets general manager, you know, stood up

0:07:27.337 --> 0:07:30.657
<v Speaker 2>for the freedom protesters in Hong Kong and Lebron James

0:07:30.657 --> 0:07:34.377
<v Speaker 2>told him he was uneducated, his appeasement of China actually

0:07:34.417 --> 0:07:37.537
<v Speaker 2>goes back a lot longer than that, which is one

0:07:37.577 --> 0:07:40.937
<v Speaker 2>of the things that was surprising. In two thousand and eight,

0:07:41.257 --> 0:07:46.257
<v Speaker 2>there was a big petition drive in the NBA concerning Darfur, Sudan,

0:07:46.377 --> 0:07:49.417
<v Speaker 2>where there were millions, sorry, hundreds of thousands of black

0:07:49.497 --> 0:07:53.257
<v Speaker 2>Christians being massacred in Sudan. The government was backed by

0:07:53.297 --> 0:07:56.737
<v Speaker 2>the government of China, and so the petition drive called

0:07:56.777 --> 0:08:00.337
<v Speaker 2>for a condemnation of the Chinese government backing a government

0:08:00.697 --> 0:08:03.977
<v Speaker 2>that was massacring hundreds of thousands of black Christians. The

0:08:04.057 --> 0:08:06.457
<v Speaker 2>petition went around the NBA, A lot of people signed it.

0:08:06.497 --> 0:08:08.697
<v Speaker 2>One of the people who did not sign it was

0:08:08.817 --> 0:08:12.977
<v Speaker 2>Lebron James, and the reason was that he even then

0:08:13.097 --> 0:08:18.337
<v Speaker 2>had clear signs and designs on expanding his business empire

0:08:18.377 --> 0:08:20.457
<v Speaker 2>into China. And that's why to this day he will

0:08:20.497 --> 0:08:23.377
<v Speaker 2>not criticize China and is an example to me of

0:08:23.417 --> 0:08:26.137
<v Speaker 2>this kind of sellout mentality. So you have, in this

0:08:26.257 --> 0:08:29.257
<v Speaker 2>case an athlete who talks about black lives matter, but

0:08:29.417 --> 0:08:32.337
<v Speaker 2>apparently these two hundred thousand black lives in South Sudan

0:08:32.457 --> 0:08:35.857
<v Speaker 2>did not matter because the people that were perpetuating the

0:08:35.857 --> 0:08:38.417
<v Speaker 2>massacre were people that were also paying him money.

0:08:39.457 --> 0:08:41.017
<v Speaker 1>I want to come back now. I'm going to allow

0:08:41.057 --> 0:08:44.017
<v Speaker 1>myself to start asking some of the political questions that

0:08:44.417 --> 0:08:46.697
<v Speaker 1>I held back as long as I could. But first

0:08:46.737 --> 0:08:48.497
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell everybody at home, please, if you're

0:09:05.137 --> 0:09:07.017
<v Speaker 1>you see all the headlines these days about what's going

0:09:07.057 --> 0:09:09.977
<v Speaker 1>on in the economy. We got a rolling bank cry

0:09:10.097 --> 0:09:12.497
<v Speaker 1>sins it's not over yet. We've got high inflation, got

0:09:12.537 --> 0:09:14.577
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the big hedge funds out there are

0:09:14.617 --> 0:09:17.697
<v Speaker 1>preparing for a brutal summer in the markets, and that

0:09:17.737 --> 0:09:20.097
<v Speaker 1>could mean massive recession. Who knows. Look at the commercial

0:09:20.137 --> 0:09:22.897
<v Speaker 1>real estate sector. The dominoes could fall at any moment.

0:09:22.977 --> 0:09:24.417
<v Speaker 1>So what do you want to do in the meantime

0:09:24.657 --> 0:09:27.137
<v Speaker 1>sit around and wait? You can take action. You can

0:09:27.177 --> 0:09:30.897
<v Speaker 1>prepare for the future with the purchase of gold. Look,

0:09:30.977 --> 0:09:34.177
<v Speaker 1>I want our dollar to be the world's reserve currency forever,

0:09:34.297 --> 0:09:36.537
<v Speaker 1>but you might want to take a look at what's

0:09:36.537 --> 0:09:38.057
<v Speaker 1>going on with the dollar and with the debt these

0:09:38.177 --> 0:09:41.497
<v Speaker 1>days and take action by having real solid precious metals

0:09:41.497 --> 0:09:44.697
<v Speaker 1>gold and silver at home. The value instability of gold.

0:09:44.697 --> 0:09:47.257
<v Speaker 1>That's both an investment and a hedge against inflation has

0:09:47.297 --> 0:09:50.217
<v Speaker 1>been proven throughout history. Gold and silver can be a

0:09:50.217 --> 0:09:53.937
<v Speaker 1>protection plant for your portfolio. Call the Oxford Gold Group.

<v Speaker 1>three four to three zero buck b u c k

0:10:25.577 --> 0:10:29.217
<v Speaker 1>or two eight two five. All right, Peter, so we

0:10:29.377 --> 0:10:32.697
<v Speaker 1>know that the bidens we're going to build up to.

0:10:32.737 --> 0:10:35.697
<v Speaker 1>That one got a lot of money from China. What's

0:10:35.737 --> 0:10:41.177
<v Speaker 1>the Pelosi China connection? Yeah, this is very interesting.

0:10:41.177 --> 0:10:44.217
<v Speaker 2>I mean Nancy Pelosi, when she came into Congress in

0:10:44.977 --> 0:10:49.897
<v Speaker 2>the late eighties, was actually very anti CCP. She at

0:10:49.937 --> 0:10:51.897
<v Speaker 2>one point in the nineteen nineties was part of this

0:10:51.937 --> 0:10:54.977
<v Speaker 2>congressional delegation that showed up and tried to unfurl a

0:10:55.057 --> 0:10:58.457
<v Speaker 2>banner on Taneman Square and the Chinese police kind of

0:10:58.457 --> 0:11:02.177
<v Speaker 2>went answer after a congressman Pelosi and took it away,

0:11:02.217 --> 0:11:03.897
<v Speaker 2>and it was sort of this big incident, and she

0:11:03.937 --> 0:11:06.737
<v Speaker 2>had that reputation for a long time. That started to

0:11:06.817 --> 0:11:10.057
<v Speaker 2>change in the two thousands, and it changed critically around

0:11:10.097 --> 0:11:13.097
<v Speaker 2>on the two thousand and eight Olympics because her husband,

0:11:13.657 --> 0:11:18.017
<v Speaker 2>Paul Pelosi, was the owner of a luxury limousine company

0:11:18.617 --> 0:11:22.977
<v Speaker 2>and they were sought out and offered and given an exclusive,

0:11:23.537 --> 0:11:28.257
<v Speaker 2>very nice contract to deliver VIPs in Beijing as part

0:11:28.297 --> 0:11:30.297
<v Speaker 2>of the Olympics. And that was the beginning of the

0:11:30.297 --> 0:11:35.097
<v Speaker 2>commercial ties that started to exist between the Pelosis and China.

0:11:35.857 --> 0:11:38.977
<v Speaker 2>They took a big stake in several China investment funds.

0:11:39.337 --> 0:11:42.977
<v Speaker 2>Nancy Pelosi's son made several trips seeking business deals in

0:11:43.057 --> 0:11:46.297
<v Speaker 2>China and secured some there. So Pelosi has kind of

0:11:46.417 --> 0:11:49.297
<v Speaker 2>reversed course. And while she does things like take these

0:11:49.377 --> 0:11:53.897
<v Speaker 2>trips to China, sorry to Taiwan that was so high profile,

0:11:54.257 --> 0:11:58.057
<v Speaker 2>her general posture towards China is exactly what Beijing wants.

0:11:58.257 --> 0:12:01.417
<v Speaker 2>And this is really important. Buck what the Chinese are

0:12:01.457 --> 0:12:04.737
<v Speaker 2>looking for from elites that they capture is not sort

0:12:04.737 --> 0:12:08.017
<v Speaker 2>of a robotic the CCP is great, we love Mao.

0:12:08.337 --> 0:12:11.297
<v Speaker 2>They describe it as big hell help with a little

0:12:11.297 --> 0:12:14.617
<v Speaker 2>bad mouth. In other words, they want help on the

0:12:14.657 --> 0:12:18.097
<v Speaker 2>big things that matter, which is trade policy, military policy,

0:12:18.217 --> 0:12:20.737
<v Speaker 2>not calling them out for COVID, those sorts of things.

0:12:21.337 --> 0:12:23.817
<v Speaker 2>If you ding them on human rights, if you say

0:12:23.857 --> 0:12:27.057
<v Speaker 2>Taiwan's a great place, they'll live with that. So Nancy

0:12:27.097 --> 0:12:30.497
<v Speaker 2>Pelosi is absolutely a captured elite, and you see this

0:12:30.657 --> 0:12:34.537
<v Speaker 2>dramatic change in her posture that begins to happen when

0:12:34.617 --> 0:12:37.577
<v Speaker 2>her family starts securing commercial deals in China.

0:12:37.737 --> 0:12:40.577
<v Speaker 1>Can you also give us a sense for these elites

0:12:41.297 --> 0:12:44.337
<v Speaker 1>on the political side or on the corporate side of

0:12:45.017 --> 0:12:49.657
<v Speaker 1>the downside, if you will financially of crossing China, How

0:12:49.817 --> 0:12:52.537
<v Speaker 1>on it are they right? I mean, are there examples

0:12:52.537 --> 0:12:57.017
<v Speaker 1>that you came across with this where someone either broke

0:12:57.257 --> 0:13:00.297
<v Speaker 1>from the line that Beijing wants or refused to play

0:13:00.337 --> 0:13:03.457
<v Speaker 1>the game that Beijing was trying to dictate to them

0:13:03.897 --> 0:13:04.977
<v Speaker 1>and they got hit.

0:13:06.337 --> 0:13:09.977
<v Speaker 2>Well, the most dramatic examples would be in Hollywood, guys

0:13:10.177 --> 0:13:12.977
<v Speaker 2>like Richard Gear and Brad Pitt, who did movies that

0:13:13.057 --> 0:13:17.297
<v Speaker 2>were favorable towards the Dali Lama or Tibet and they

0:13:17.297 --> 0:13:20.617
<v Speaker 2>cannot get any of their films distributed in China, which

0:13:20.657 --> 0:13:23.737
<v Speaker 2>is a huge limitation in the political world. In the

0:13:23.777 --> 0:13:28.177
<v Speaker 2>corporate world, it generally doesn't happen. If you look at

0:13:28.177 --> 0:13:30.937
<v Speaker 2>Mitch McConnell, for example, his wife Elaine Chow, they have

0:13:30.977 --> 0:13:34.417
<v Speaker 2>a shipping business that really beginning in nineteen ninety three.

0:13:34.417 --> 0:13:37.257
<v Speaker 2>The Chinese government said to the Chow family, Hey, tell

0:13:37.257 --> 0:13:40.577
<v Speaker 2>you what. We will build the ships for your shipping business.

0:13:40.657 --> 0:13:44.177
<v Speaker 2>We'll finance the construction with state owned banks, we'll provide

0:13:44.217 --> 0:13:46.577
<v Speaker 2>all the crews, we'll give you all the contracts to

0:13:46.617 --> 0:13:51.097
<v Speaker 2>ship those goods around the world. The Chow family said, yes, absolutely,

0:13:51.177 --> 0:13:55.497
<v Speaker 2>we're on board, and the business grew exponentially. A problem

0:13:55.577 --> 0:13:58.817
<v Speaker 2>is now that it's generally acknowledged that if Mitch mcconough

0:13:58.897 --> 0:14:01.057
<v Speaker 2>were to lay down the gauntlet on China on these

0:14:01.097 --> 0:14:04.257
<v Speaker 2>issues again big help with a little bad mouth, they'll

0:14:04.297 --> 0:14:06.777
<v Speaker 2>tolerate some criticism. But if he were to lay down

0:14:06.777 --> 0:14:11.137
<v Speaker 2>the gauntlet, the Chinese could destroy the family shipping business overnight.

0:14:11.977 --> 0:14:14.657
<v Speaker 2>That has a massive detern effect, and I think that's

0:14:14.697 --> 0:14:18.097
<v Speaker 2>the reason we don't see too many people defect once

0:14:18.097 --> 0:14:19.937
<v Speaker 2>they've been captured by the Chinese.

0:14:20.097 --> 0:14:22.057
<v Speaker 1>Did you think it's fair to say at this point,

0:14:22.057 --> 0:14:26.137
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you feel like we can't trust the

0:14:26.337 --> 0:14:29.217
<v Speaker 1>Senate majority leader on issues related to China because of this?

0:14:29.257 --> 0:14:30.337
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is he compromised?

0:14:31.657 --> 0:14:34.297
<v Speaker 2>I think he is. Yeah. I mean, look, the family

0:14:34.337 --> 0:14:38.137
<v Speaker 2>shipping business is now enormously successful. They're highly dependent on

0:14:38.137 --> 0:14:41.137
<v Speaker 2>the Chinese. His father in law gave him a gift

0:14:41.137 --> 0:14:44.297
<v Speaker 2>of I think twenty five million dollars sort of a

0:14:44.297 --> 0:14:46.817
<v Speaker 2>friendship gift to his son in law that directly came

0:14:46.857 --> 0:14:49.457
<v Speaker 2>from the shipping business. And you look at the other

0:14:49.577 --> 0:14:53.297
<v Speaker 2>members of the Chow family. His in laws. Angela Chaw,

0:14:53.337 --> 0:14:56.577
<v Speaker 2>who's Lane Cho's sister, sits on the board of directors

0:14:56.617 --> 0:14:59.417
<v Speaker 2>of the Bank of China, which is the state owned bank.

0:15:00.177 --> 0:15:02.577
<v Speaker 2>You look at some of the other businesses that the

0:15:02.657 --> 0:15:06.657
<v Speaker 2>Chinese State Shipbuilding Corporation has started. That's the biggest military

0:15:06.737 --> 0:15:11.577
<v Speaker 2>contractor in China. When they launched those businesses, they put

0:15:11.777 --> 0:15:14.377
<v Speaker 2>Mitch McConnell's father in law and sistern law on the

0:15:14.417 --> 0:15:17.817
<v Speaker 2>board of those entities. So yeah, I think it's very

0:15:17.937 --> 0:15:20.617
<v Speaker 2>very hard for him to extricate himself. Again, he will

0:15:20.657 --> 0:15:23.537
<v Speaker 2>be critical of the Chinese, but when push comes to

0:15:23.577 --> 0:15:26.537
<v Speaker 2>shove on these issues, he will not push and support

0:15:26.617 --> 0:15:29.417
<v Speaker 2>legislation that will sort of lay down the gauntlet, whether

0:15:29.457 --> 0:15:31.497
<v Speaker 2>it's on COVID or national security issues.

0:15:32.417 --> 0:15:34.617
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I get this sense that you hear a lot

0:15:34.657 --> 0:15:38.657
<v Speaker 1>of talk about standing up to China, and you hear

0:15:38.737 --> 0:15:42.177
<v Speaker 1>from Republicans and Democrats now and then I always wonder

0:15:42.457 --> 0:15:45.377
<v Speaker 1>how right like what this is, and I feel like

0:15:45.417 --> 0:15:47.617
<v Speaker 1>this is now the expectation. It's, oh, you know, we're

0:15:47.617 --> 0:15:49.577
<v Speaker 1>gonna sure, we're gonna do so much much China. But

0:15:49.577 --> 0:15:51.737
<v Speaker 1>the Chinese know, as long as everything stays as it

0:15:51.777 --> 0:15:54.537
<v Speaker 1>really is, nothing really changes for them. We're going to

0:15:54.577 --> 0:15:57.057
<v Speaker 1>get into Biden here in just a second. But first off,

0:15:57.097 --> 0:15:59.577
<v Speaker 1>you know, this week I did something really special. So

0:15:59.577 --> 0:16:02.217
<v Speaker 1>the first for me, I got to interview this amazing

0:16:02.537 --> 0:16:07.337
<v Speaker 1>market analyst with a tremendous record of incredible predictions, including

0:16:07.377 --> 0:16:09.457
<v Speaker 1>going on TV and calling the nineteen eighty seven stock

0:16:09.457 --> 0:16:13.057
<v Speaker 1>market crash for it happened. That guy was my dad,

0:16:13.297 --> 0:16:17.617
<v Speaker 1>Mason Sexton, and he launched a new product this week,

0:16:17.857 --> 0:16:20.177
<v Speaker 1>the first time in thirty years that he's come forward.

0:16:20.177 --> 0:16:22.937
<v Speaker 1>He's been advising hedge funds behind the scenes for years now,

0:16:23.377 --> 0:16:25.777
<v Speaker 1>but he decided, given where the market's heading now, he

0:16:25.857 --> 0:16:27.817
<v Speaker 1>wanted to tell people what he thinks is going to happen,

0:16:28.177 --> 0:16:30.257
<v Speaker 1>and how you can get ready for it, and how

0:16:30.297 --> 0:16:32.657
<v Speaker 1>you can actually make money. You can defend your capital

0:16:32.697 --> 0:16:34.977
<v Speaker 1>and make money if you know how to make the

0:16:35.097 --> 0:16:38.617
<v Speaker 1>right moves. He's worried about what's happening, and he says,

0:16:38.697 --> 0:16:41.497
<v Speaker 1>it's just weeks away before you're going to see some

0:16:41.697 --> 0:16:44.577
<v Speaker 1>massive moves in the market that he's predicting. You want

0:16:44.577 --> 0:16:46.257
<v Speaker 1>to see what the predictions are. You want to see

0:16:46.297 --> 0:16:49.057
<v Speaker 1>how he wants to guide you through this turbulent time

0:16:49.057 --> 0:16:53.137
<v Speaker 1>in the markets. Go to Disruption twenty twenty three dot com.

0:16:53.337 --> 0:16:56.177
<v Speaker 1>See how my dad, Mason Sexton is going to be

0:16:56.217 --> 0:17:00.337
<v Speaker 1>predicting the markets Disruption twenty twenty three dot com. That's

0:17:00.377 --> 0:17:06.097
<v Speaker 1>Disruption twenty twenty three dot com. All right, Peter, the

0:17:06.177 --> 0:17:11.017
<v Speaker 1>Biden crime family and China, tell me what I need

0:17:11.057 --> 0:17:11.257
<v Speaker 1>to know?

0:17:12.217 --> 0:17:14.137
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think what you need to know first off

0:17:14.297 --> 0:17:17.417
<v Speaker 2>is that, in contrast to the McConnell's or even others

0:17:17.577 --> 0:17:20.017
<v Speaker 2>like you know, the the Trump family who has had

0:17:20.017 --> 0:17:23.937
<v Speaker 2>commercial ties in China, the Bidens don't actually have an

0:17:24.017 --> 0:17:27.057
<v Speaker 2>underlying business. You know, the Kushners have real estate that

0:17:27.297 --> 0:17:29.497
<v Speaker 2>you know, Avanka Trump had her shoes made in China,

0:17:29.537 --> 0:17:32.217
<v Speaker 2>but she actually had a shoe line. Mitch mcconnald's company

0:17:32.297 --> 0:17:35.777
<v Speaker 2>actually has a shipping company. The Bidens don't have a business.

0:17:36.057 --> 0:17:37.897
<v Speaker 2>That's the first thing that you have to understand. The

0:17:37.937 --> 0:17:40.937
<v Speaker 2>second thing is the flow of money from China began

0:17:41.097 --> 0:17:43.697
<v Speaker 2>when Joe Biden became Vice President of the United States

0:17:43.937 --> 0:17:47.977
<v Speaker 2>and shortly after Barack Obama anointed him publicly is the

0:17:48.017 --> 0:17:51.497
<v Speaker 2>point person on policy towards China. That's when this bigot

0:17:51.537 --> 0:17:54.297
<v Speaker 2>began to open. And if you look at the emails,

0:17:54.337 --> 0:17:57.897
<v Speaker 2>the laptop emails, you find that some thirty one million

0:17:57.937 --> 0:18:00.697
<v Speaker 2>dollars has flowed to the Biden family based on the

0:18:00.697 --> 0:18:04.217
<v Speaker 2>wire transfers and the communication and the emails. But I

0:18:04.217 --> 0:18:06.217
<v Speaker 2>think the most troubling part of this buck and I

0:18:06.297 --> 0:18:09.217
<v Speaker 2>think you know, with your background you'll appreciate this perhaps

0:18:09.257 --> 0:18:12.857
<v Speaker 2>more than anyone, is you can identify the four people

0:18:12.897 --> 0:18:14.857
<v Speaker 2>I'd name them in the book, the four people that

0:18:15.017 --> 0:18:17.977
<v Speaker 2>made it rain for the Bidens in China. Each one

0:18:17.977 --> 0:18:21.137
<v Speaker 2>of those four has ties to the highest levels of

0:18:21.217 --> 0:18:25.137
<v Speaker 2>Chinese intelligence. So for example, Chai Feng, he got that

0:18:25.217 --> 0:18:28.617
<v Speaker 2>BHR private equity deal. It's worth about twenty million dollars

0:18:28.617 --> 0:18:31.457
<v Speaker 2>to Hunter Biden at the same time that Chae Feng

0:18:31.777 --> 0:18:35.377
<v Speaker 2>secured that deal for Hunter Biden, he was business partners

0:18:35.417 --> 0:18:38.577
<v Speaker 2>with the Vice Minister of State Security in China, the

0:18:38.697 --> 0:18:43.377
<v Speaker 2>vice of State Security responsible for the recruitment of foreign

0:18:43.497 --> 0:18:47.777
<v Speaker 2>nationals to spy for China. If you look at Henry Jao,

0:18:47.937 --> 0:18:51.857
<v Speaker 2>who transferred six million dollars to Hunter Biden at the

0:18:51.937 --> 0:18:55.057
<v Speaker 2>same time he made that happen, he was business partners

0:18:55.097 --> 0:18:58.737
<v Speaker 2>with the family of the former head of the Ministry

0:18:58.857 --> 0:19:01.977
<v Speaker 2>of State Security. All four of the people that sent

0:19:02.057 --> 0:19:05.297
<v Speaker 2>money to the Bidens, again with no underlying business, no

0:19:05.537 --> 0:19:08.497
<v Speaker 2>service or product in return for that money. Each one

0:19:08.537 --> 0:19:11.737
<v Speaker 2>of those individuals was tied to Chinese intelligence. That in

0:19:11.777 --> 0:19:14.617
<v Speaker 2>my mind is not a coincidence, and I think we

0:19:14.737 --> 0:19:18.257
<v Speaker 2>have to stop looking at the Biden situation not as

0:19:18.457 --> 0:19:22.257
<v Speaker 2>just corruption. This is a foreign intelligence operation. This is

0:19:22.297 --> 0:19:26.617
<v Speaker 2>a Chinese effort to capture America's first family, and I

0:19:26.657 --> 0:19:28.217
<v Speaker 2>believe they have successfully done so.

0:19:29.137 --> 0:19:37.017
<v Speaker 1>How much money went from anything connected to a Chinese national, okay,

0:19:37.057 --> 0:19:41.057
<v Speaker 1>any bank and he to Hunter Biden directly, Like, do

0:19:41.097 --> 0:19:42.857
<v Speaker 1>we have an aggregate total?

0:19:43.417 --> 0:19:46.257
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Yeah, so we know that there was six million

0:19:46.337 --> 0:19:50.617
<v Speaker 2>sent to him by chairman Yee. That's the CEFC Energy company.

0:19:51.217 --> 0:19:53.857
<v Speaker 2>Before he ended up CEFC, he was the head of

0:19:53.897 --> 0:19:59.937
<v Speaker 2>a Chinese military intelligence operation that was exactly so he

0:20:00.097 --> 0:20:04.257
<v Speaker 2>sent six million dollars to Hunter Biden. We know that

0:20:04.337 --> 0:20:07.817
<v Speaker 2>Henry Jauss sent five million dollars. He's the guy that

0:20:07.937 --> 0:20:12.697
<v Speaker 2>was the partners with the former Minister of State Security.

0:20:12.857 --> 0:20:15.617
<v Speaker 2>And then we have this BHR private equity deal. We

0:20:15.697 --> 0:20:17.897
<v Speaker 2>don't know the valuation of it, but the University of

0:20:17.977 --> 0:20:21.057
<v Speaker 2>Chicago Business School did an estimate and said that his stake,

0:20:21.337 --> 0:20:24.217
<v Speaker 2>which he was given by the Chinese government was about

0:20:24.217 --> 0:20:27.417
<v Speaker 2>worth about twenty million dollars. So there's thirty one million

0:20:27.497 --> 0:20:30.897
<v Speaker 2>dollars right there. That doesn't include other deals that we

0:20:31.057 --> 0:20:33.417
<v Speaker 2>know of, but we don't know the dollar amounts. And

0:20:33.457 --> 0:20:35.217
<v Speaker 2>I think that thing we have to remember with this

0:20:35.297 --> 0:20:39.257
<v Speaker 2>Congressional committee, the Oversight Committee, is they've gone through four

0:20:39.377 --> 0:20:42.857
<v Speaker 2>of twelve banks that the bidens used for the transference

0:20:42.897 --> 0:20:45.177
<v Speaker 2>of this money. So they have the total at eleven

0:20:45.217 --> 0:20:47.857
<v Speaker 2>million right now. That number is going to continue to

0:20:47.897 --> 0:20:49.937
<v Speaker 2>go up, and I think it's going to probably ultimately

0:20:49.977 --> 0:20:52.217
<v Speaker 2>surpass thirty one million dollars.

0:20:52.817 --> 0:20:57.217
<v Speaker 1>What is that money supposed to be for? You know,

0:20:57.417 --> 0:20:59.737
<v Speaker 1>I often make jokes. This is true, by the way, Peter.

0:20:59.817 --> 0:21:01.457
<v Speaker 1>You know, back in the day when when they actually

0:21:01.457 --> 0:21:04.377
<v Speaker 1>would allow Republicans or conservatives to go on CNN and

0:21:04.457 --> 0:21:06.577
<v Speaker 1>argue with people, I would point out to them about

0:21:06.577 --> 0:21:08.417
<v Speaker 1>the Hillary Clinton Foundation, which I know you've done a

0:21:08.457 --> 0:21:11.857
<v Speaker 1>lot of work in the Clinton Foundation, that at some

0:21:11.937 --> 0:21:14.137
<v Speaker 1>point paying someone eight hundred thousand dollars for a speech

0:21:14.217 --> 0:21:16.497
<v Speaker 1>is just a legalized bribe. The same way that you know,

0:21:16.577 --> 0:21:18.817
<v Speaker 1>if I were if I were in public office and

0:21:18.857 --> 0:21:22.257
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden my wife was a painter and

0:21:22.337 --> 0:21:25.497
<v Speaker 1>people were buying her paintings for a million dollars apiece

0:21:25.537 --> 0:21:27.897
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere, that's a brillact, right, I mean, this

0:21:27.937 --> 0:21:30.657
<v Speaker 1>is this is very and Hunter Biden's actually doing that,

0:21:30.697 --> 0:21:31.177
<v Speaker 1>which is what I.

0:21:31.217 --> 0:21:32.217
<v Speaker 2>Think is so amazing.

0:21:32.297 --> 0:21:35.257
<v Speaker 1>I mean, he's selling these paintings for fifty thousand dollars apiece.

0:21:35.937 --> 0:21:38.857
<v Speaker 1>What is the money that went from China to the

0:21:38.937 --> 0:21:42.897
<v Speaker 1>Biden interest supposed to be for? Like, what's the cover story,

0:21:42.937 --> 0:21:47.297
<v Speaker 1>if you will? And is it illegal? You know that's

0:21:47.297 --> 0:21:52.097
<v Speaker 1>always it's gross, But is it illegal? Yeah, that's a

0:21:52.097 --> 0:21:55.537
<v Speaker 1>great question. I'm not a lawyer on the legal part.

0:21:55.577 --> 0:21:58.577
<v Speaker 1>I would just say if it's not illegal. It should

0:21:58.617 --> 0:21:59.097
<v Speaker 1>be because I.

0:21:59.017 --> 0:22:00.857
<v Speaker 2>Mean, do we really want do we really want to

0:22:00.857 --> 0:22:04.337
<v Speaker 2>live in a country where the President of the United States, family,

0:22:04.457 --> 0:22:07.857
<v Speaker 2>the Secretary of Defense, the Senate Majority leader, their family

0:22:07.897 --> 0:22:10.097
<v Speaker 2>can go to China and just scoop up gobs of

0:22:10.137 --> 0:22:12.457
<v Speaker 2>money and they could say, well, it's not illegal, everything's fine.

0:22:12.497 --> 0:22:14.537
<v Speaker 2>Nothing to see here. I don't think anybody wants to

0:22:14.577 --> 0:22:18.457
<v Speaker 2>live in that country. So the legal part I'll set aside.

0:22:18.457 --> 0:22:20.337
<v Speaker 2>But you know, if you look at these emails and

0:22:20.377 --> 0:22:23.097
<v Speaker 2>you look at the communications, this money is for quote

0:22:23.177 --> 0:22:29.297
<v Speaker 2>unquote joint ventures that never appear. So Henry Jao transfers

0:22:29.537 --> 0:22:31.937
<v Speaker 2>five million dollars to Hunter Biden in twenty fifteen to

0:22:31.937 --> 0:22:35.617
<v Speaker 2>four a quote unquote joint venture. Does a joint venture

0:22:35.657 --> 0:22:38.297
<v Speaker 2>ever emerge? No, it does not, And the money goes

0:22:38.337 --> 0:22:40.777
<v Speaker 2>into Hunter Biden's personal pocket. It does not go into

0:22:40.857 --> 0:22:44.417
<v Speaker 2>a business account. When the when the House Overside Committee

0:22:44.457 --> 0:22:49.817
<v Speaker 2>released their recent report, Hunter Biden's reaction when they disclosed that,

0:22:49.897 --> 0:22:51.897
<v Speaker 2>you know, millions of dollars had flowed to him from

0:22:51.897 --> 0:22:55.057
<v Speaker 2>this energy company, he said that that money was a

0:22:55.337 --> 0:22:59.137
<v Speaker 2>good faith seed money. I don't know what that means,

0:22:59.137 --> 0:23:01.337
<v Speaker 2>and I don't know why good faith seed money going

0:23:01.337 --> 0:23:03.937
<v Speaker 2>into a business ends up going into the pockets of

0:23:04.057 --> 0:23:07.857
<v Speaker 2>family members rather than actually of the underlying business itself.

0:23:07.937 --> 0:23:13.417
<v Speaker 2>So the subterfuge is joint ventures partnerships, but they never emerged,

0:23:13.497 --> 0:23:16.337
<v Speaker 2>they don't exist, and there, as you said, just to

0:23:16.457 --> 0:23:19.377
<v Speaker 2>cover for the transfer of money to the Biden family.

0:23:19.617 --> 0:23:23.257
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so effectively, if if I told somebody, you know,

0:23:23.257 --> 0:23:25.297
<v Speaker 1>if my dad was the president, and I said, you know,

0:23:25.497 --> 0:23:28.897
<v Speaker 1>I'm a I'm a world class chocolate chip cookie maker,

0:23:29.457 --> 0:23:32.417
<v Speaker 1>and so my cookies are worth a million dollars each,

0:23:33.057 --> 0:23:36.057
<v Speaker 1>you know, people are supposed to accept that that's they're

0:23:36.097 --> 0:23:39.937
<v Speaker 1>paying for the cookies, right, joint venture Like, I've tried

0:23:39.937 --> 0:23:42.217
<v Speaker 1>to raise money for things before, I've been in I've

0:23:42.217 --> 0:23:44.697
<v Speaker 1>been in venture capital meetings. I've you know, if you

0:23:44.737 --> 0:23:46.497
<v Speaker 1>just said, hey, give me twenty million bucks for a

0:23:46.617 --> 0:23:49.857
<v Speaker 1>joint venture TBD, I mean, people would think you were

0:23:50.017 --> 0:23:51.417
<v Speaker 1>out of your mind. I mean they would think that

0:23:51.457 --> 0:23:53.297
<v Speaker 1>there was something truly wrong with you. But not if

0:23:53.297 --> 0:23:57.097
<v Speaker 1>you're Hunter Biden. And I think it's remarkable that this

0:23:57.137 --> 0:23:59.417
<v Speaker 1>is where we are and the pollution of both parties

0:23:59.417 --> 0:24:02.057
<v Speaker 1>that's occurred is really stunning. Peter, I want to come

0:24:02.097 --> 0:24:04.097
<v Speaker 1>back and ask you, what is the what is the

0:24:04.137 --> 0:24:06.377
<v Speaker 1>cleanup process to this? If we were willing to do

0:24:06.417 --> 0:24:08.057
<v Speaker 1>it as a country, what does that look like? But

0:24:08.537 --> 0:24:11.577
<v Speaker 1>before we get there, you know, I recently heard from

0:24:11.737 --> 0:24:17.097
<v Speaker 1>a listener to the radio show who's traveling on airplanes constantly,

0:24:17.617 --> 0:24:20.977
<v Speaker 1>and he said, look, I made the ultimate business travel move.

0:24:21.137 --> 0:24:24.817
<v Speaker 1>Left his laptop behind the airport security line. Now you

0:24:24.897 --> 0:24:26.857
<v Speaker 1>leave it behind, and now what do you do? You

0:24:27.297 --> 0:24:29.657
<v Speaker 1>freak out right because he doesn't find out to the

0:24:29.737 --> 0:24:31.217
<v Speaker 1>lands of the next destination. Is he ever going to

0:24:31.297 --> 0:24:34.297
<v Speaker 1>get back? The good news is he had I Drive.

0:24:34.817 --> 0:24:36.857
<v Speaker 1>Our friends that I Drive had him backed up. This

0:24:36.897 --> 0:24:39.057
<v Speaker 1>is the same company that Rush Limbaugh was talking about

<v Speaker 1>or just go to iedrive dot com. That's iedrive dot com. Okay,

0:25:29.377 --> 0:25:31.857
<v Speaker 1>So how do we clean up the mess of China

0:25:32.417 --> 0:25:35.177
<v Speaker 1>making so many of our elites red handed the title

0:25:35.177 --> 0:25:38.537
<v Speaker 1>of Peter's excellent book by paying them off in various ways?

0:25:38.577 --> 0:25:39.577
<v Speaker 1>What does that look like, Peter?

0:25:40.937 --> 0:25:43.697
<v Speaker 2>I think it begins with public shame. I think shame

0:25:43.777 --> 0:25:46.057
<v Speaker 2>still works. And I think you're starting to see already

0:25:46.097 --> 0:25:48.497
<v Speaker 2>that Apple and some of the big tech companies realize

0:25:48.537 --> 0:25:52.297
<v Speaker 2>that this sort of panda embrace that they've had is

0:25:52.337 --> 0:25:56.777
<v Speaker 2>not popular. So Apple's starting to ship shift its subproduction

0:25:56.857 --> 0:25:58.937
<v Speaker 2>of iPhones to India. That's going to take a while.

0:25:59.137 --> 0:26:01.657
<v Speaker 2>I think in Washington, d C. It begins with disclosure.

0:26:01.737 --> 0:26:04.817
<v Speaker 2>Think about it this way, Buck, Joe Biden has to

0:26:04.897 --> 0:26:08.657
<v Speaker 2>disclose every two hundred dollars campaign contribution that he gets,

0:26:08.857 --> 0:26:12.217
<v Speaker 2>he has to disclose every thousand dollars in ge stock

0:26:12.337 --> 0:26:15.057
<v Speaker 2>or whatever he has in investments. But if his son

0:26:15.537 --> 0:26:18.617
<v Speaker 2>goes off and secures private equity deals with the Chinese

0:26:18.617 --> 0:26:21.497
<v Speaker 2>government with twenty million dollars where he has no expertise,

0:26:21.537 --> 0:26:24.697
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do anything for the money, there's no disclosure requirement.

0:26:24.817 --> 0:26:27.697
<v Speaker 2>So that's absurd. So we have to change the disclosure laws.

0:26:27.937 --> 0:26:30.057
<v Speaker 2>I think if you have a if you are in government,

0:26:30.137 --> 0:26:33.417
<v Speaker 2>elected or unelected at senior level, you have to disclose

0:26:33.457 --> 0:26:36.177
<v Speaker 2>if your family members have commercial ties with China or

0:26:36.217 --> 0:26:40.257
<v Speaker 2>other state back companies. That's the beginning of the process.

0:26:40.737 --> 0:26:43.137
<v Speaker 2>But I think the Bidens will be a test case.

0:26:43.457 --> 0:26:45.417
<v Speaker 2>And I think the fact that Joe Biden had to

0:26:45.417 --> 0:26:48.057
<v Speaker 2>commit in twenty twenty to no more foreign deals, and

0:26:48.137 --> 0:26:50.457
<v Speaker 2>I think so far he seems to have honored that

0:26:50.977 --> 0:26:53.817
<v Speaker 2>is an indication that people know how unpopular this is.

0:26:53.897 --> 0:26:58.337
<v Speaker 2>So this Congressional Oversight Committee investigation of the Bidens is key,

0:26:58.417 --> 0:27:02.017
<v Speaker 2>and it's important it needs to be disclosed. When people

0:27:02.057 --> 0:27:04.697
<v Speaker 2>say is going to end in a prosecution, I don't

0:27:04.697 --> 0:27:06.697
<v Speaker 2>know if it is or not, but the American people

0:27:06.817 --> 0:27:10.417
<v Speaker 2>need to know what the first family's commercial ties are

0:27:10.537 --> 0:27:12.697
<v Speaker 2>to China and it needs to be pounded into them,

0:27:13.017 --> 0:27:15.177
<v Speaker 2>and that I think is the beginning of the process,

0:27:15.497 --> 0:27:17.537
<v Speaker 2>and I feel like it's starting to turn. I just

0:27:17.617 --> 0:27:21.937
<v Speaker 2>saw a Harvard poll that came out. It showed sixty

0:27:21.977 --> 0:27:25.177
<v Speaker 2>three percent of independence believe that the Biden's engaged in

0:27:25.377 --> 0:27:31.577
<v Speaker 2>illegal influence pedaling during his vice presidency. That's among independence.

0:27:31.577 --> 0:27:35.417
<v Speaker 2>Among Republicans is even higher. So it indicates that attitudes

0:27:35.457 --> 0:27:37.497
<v Speaker 2>are starting to shift on this. He's in it.

0:27:37.497 --> 0:27:41.617
<v Speaker 1>And also remarkable, I'm sure Peter that you haven't had

0:27:41.817 --> 0:27:44.537
<v Speaker 1>for your research on this, particularly as it pertains the Bidens.

0:27:44.577 --> 0:27:48.337
<v Speaker 1>But you point out, Mitch McConnell, Trump's a business interest,

0:27:48.377 --> 0:27:51.897
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't you know, I don't think that leveraging

0:27:51.937 --> 0:27:54.497
<v Speaker 1>Ivanka's shoeline being made in China was going to change

0:27:54.537 --> 0:27:56.897
<v Speaker 1>the trajectory of Trump foreign policy, to be fair. But

0:27:57.297 --> 0:28:03.177
<v Speaker 1>I remember the Washington Post writing pieces about the emolument's clause.

0:28:03.257 --> 0:28:05.017
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure you remember this too, right, like just the

0:28:05.097 --> 0:28:09.297
<v Speaker 1>notion that there were foreigners going to the Trump hotel

0:28:09.377 --> 0:28:14.577
<v Speaker 1>in DC to buy you know, the hanging bacon they

0:28:14.657 --> 0:28:15.937
<v Speaker 1>used to have there with a little blow towards I

0:28:16.057 --> 0:28:19.537
<v Speaker 1>won a few times and the cheeseburgers. That was a

0:28:19.617 --> 0:28:23.297
<v Speaker 1>violation of the emolument's clause. Joe Biden's son is a

0:28:23.337 --> 0:28:25.817
<v Speaker 1>bag man walking around the globe to the worst. You know,

0:28:25.817 --> 0:28:28.537
<v Speaker 1>our biggest Ukraine. Oh, cand you talk about that first.

0:28:28.617 --> 0:28:30.497
<v Speaker 1>We didn't get into that, did you. Well what's the Ukraine?

0:28:30.617 --> 0:28:33.097
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we all know Barisma, but remind everybody would

0:28:33.097 --> 0:28:34.297
<v Speaker 1>have it with Barisma and Hunter.

0:28:34.857 --> 0:28:37.457
<v Speaker 2>Well, the thing with Hunter is it's a veritable United

0:28:37.537 --> 0:28:40.777
<v Speaker 2>Nations of corrupt people. I mean it's China, it's Ukraine,

0:28:41.057 --> 0:28:45.017
<v Speaker 2>the energy company Barisma, which you know was giving him

0:28:45.017 --> 0:28:47.297
<v Speaker 2>a million dollars a year, something he didn't know about.

0:28:47.577 --> 0:28:51.137
<v Speaker 2>Let's also remember that he was working for Elena Boderina.

0:28:51.257 --> 0:28:53.417
<v Speaker 2>She sent three point five million dollars to him. She

0:28:53.497 --> 0:28:55.897
<v Speaker 2>was the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, who

0:28:55.977 --> 0:28:58.257
<v Speaker 2>was by the way, identified in Wiki leaks in a

0:28:58.297 --> 0:29:03.137
<v Speaker 2>State Department cable as somebody involved with Russian organized crime. So,

0:29:03.657 --> 0:29:05.297
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is the thing people have to realize.

0:29:05.297 --> 0:29:09.137
<v Speaker 2>With the Bidens, their quote unquote global business did not

0:29:09.257 --> 0:29:13.657
<v Speaker 2>include companies in Tokyo, companies in Berlin or London. They

0:29:13.737 --> 0:29:17.097
<v Speaker 2>went to Ukraine and China, which were the two countries

0:29:17.137 --> 0:29:20.017
<v Speaker 2>that by the way, were Joe Biden's portfolio as vice

0:29:20.017 --> 0:29:22.217
<v Speaker 2>president of the United States, and then they went to

0:29:22.297 --> 0:29:26.297
<v Speaker 2>Romania and Russia. This is where they found their business partners.

0:29:26.337 --> 0:29:31.817
<v Speaker 2>So it is a consistent example. And the notion that somehow, well,

0:29:31.857 --> 0:29:35.897
<v Speaker 2>that's Hunter Biden's business, Joe Biden was not involved is

0:29:35.937 --> 0:29:39.577
<v Speaker 2>also laughable because the target of the money was Joe

0:29:39.617 --> 0:29:43.497
<v Speaker 2>Biden via his son. That's why these foreign entities were

0:29:43.537 --> 0:29:47.417
<v Speaker 2>paying Hunter. And there's evidence in the laptop that, in fact,

0:29:47.497 --> 0:29:50.937
<v Speaker 2>Hunter Biden was providing funds to his father as vice president,

0:29:50.937 --> 0:29:54.377
<v Speaker 2>which is not legal. He was subsidizing his lifestyle. So

0:29:54.457 --> 0:29:58.057
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden himself was a beneficiary of this foreign money

0:29:58.097 --> 0:30:00.417
<v Speaker 2>that was flowing to Hunter Biden. So you are quite

0:30:00.537 --> 0:30:04.017
<v Speaker 2>right this notion of double standards. I believed at the

0:30:04.057 --> 0:30:07.817
<v Speaker 2>beginning of the sort of Russia Gate collusion investigation it

0:30:07.817 --> 0:30:09.937
<v Speaker 2>ought to be looked at because it was so shocking,

0:30:10.577 --> 0:30:13.457
<v Speaker 2>and then we realized it was nothing behind it. But

0:30:13.577 --> 0:30:17.097
<v Speaker 2>the fact that Democrats in the left have resisted investigating

0:30:17.097 --> 0:30:20.097
<v Speaker 2>the bidens, to me is just appalling, and I think

0:30:20.137 --> 0:30:22.657
<v Speaker 2>it is going to really damage the reputation of the

0:30:22.697 --> 0:30:26.017
<v Speaker 2>mainstream media as this information continues to spill out.

0:30:26.577 --> 0:30:30.337
<v Speaker 1>The book is red handed how American elites get rich

0:30:30.577 --> 0:30:34.457
<v Speaker 1>helping China win. Peter Schwitzer always appreciate your work man.

0:30:34.497 --> 0:30:36.057
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for being here with us. And

0:30:36.817 --> 0:30:38.577
<v Speaker 1>if you happen to write another book, you need to

0:30:38.617 --> 0:30:40.017
<v Speaker 1>come back on the program and tell us about it.

0:30:40.057 --> 0:30:40.617
<v Speaker 1>What do you say?

0:30:41.177 --> 0:30:43.537
<v Speaker 2>I would love it, Buck, Thanks, it was a great time.

0:30:43.537 --> 0:30:44.337
<v Speaker 2>Thankks so much.
