1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: All right, News, round Up, Information, overload hour. This is

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show on a Friday. Eight hundred nine

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: for one. Shawn is our number if you want to

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: join us. I've been telling you those discussion and it

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 1: looks like the truckers are beginning to win the battle

6
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: in Canada and hopefully it will extend to the US.

7
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: And they've had a lot of US support, a lot

8
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: of solidarity from the trucking community and many Americans as well,

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: and certainly the people of Canada have stepped up and

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: supported the truckers incredibly, and you know it's amazing. Oh,

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: go fund me. They can't release the fund yet. Oh

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: and Facebook taking down of course, don't be in the censors.

13
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm so glad that idiot lost two hundred company whether

14
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: they lose two hundred and fifty billion dollars in a day,

15
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: but putting that aside. But then the Ottawa Police chief

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: said that they may have to bring in the military.

17
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: I played that yesterday. Now he's saying they may have

18
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: to prosecute any officer that dares to provide any support

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: to Canadian truckers. And most of the cops are supporting

20
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: the truckers. It's on real. Listen, there is no facilitation

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: of food, water, fuel logistics, or funding by any member

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: of this police service or any other police service that

23
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: I am aware of. Let me repeat, there is no

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: supply of food, water, fuel logistics, or anything else that

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: relates to enabling this demonstration by any member of the

26
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: audible Police Service or any other police service that I

27
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: am aware of. Should that information come to me, you

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: can be clear. As Chief of Police in this service,

29
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: I will conduct a full investigation. I will use the

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: full extent to the Police Service Act and if relevant,

31
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: the Criminal Code to pursue charges against such a member.

32
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Who would do that? Oh wow, So first it's the military.

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Now we're going to go after cops and prosecute cops

34
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: because they support a peaceful protest of truckers that you know,

35
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: in their spare time they like they do play in

36
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: street hockey. I mean. But anyway, then you have, of course,

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: the idiot Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I have attended protests

38
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: and rallies in the past when I agreed with the goals,

39
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 1: when I supported the people expressing their concerns and their issues.

40
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter is an excellent example of that. But

41
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: I have also chosen to not go anywhere near protests

42
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: that have expressed hateful rhetoric, violence towards fellow citizens, and

43
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: a disrespect not just of science, but of the frontline

44
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: health workers and quite frankly, the ninety percent of truckers

45
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: who have been doing the right thing to keep Canadians safe,

46
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: to put food on our tables. Oh my gosh. Now,

47
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: if he had any any leadership ability in skills, he

48
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: would get off his ass and go meet with the truckers.

49
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 1: Why didn't he go to the convoy instead of lashing

50
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: out calling people names? Anyway, it looks like the truckers

51
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: are in the process of winning if they can hold

52
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: out a little bit longer now we know. Here's a

53
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: headline from the Canadian press. Alberta, Saskatchewan take a lead

54
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: in signaling moves to end COVID restrictions. Canada's chief Public

55
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Health officers says provinces are going to have to find

56
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: a balance between containing the virus with public health measures

57
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: and returning to a sense of normalcy. As the amorcrom

58
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: wave continues to crest, several provinces have signaled their intention

59
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: to do away with some, if not all, of the

60
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: remaining COVID nineteen elth restrictions. Alberta's premier says his government

61
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: will announce next week a date to end Alberta's nineteen

62
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: vaccine passport, as well as a phased approach to ending

63
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: almost all COVID nineteen elth restrictions. Same with Saskatchewan. Their Premier,

64
00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: Scott Mose says he's committed to ending all COVID nineteen ress.

65
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: Oh you would think that, um hmm, maybe Justin isn't

66
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: winning here because without truckers, the government never would have

67
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: removed any restrictions. That's how important truckers are to all

68
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: of us in our everyday lives. And it doesn't matter

69
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: what country you're from. So it looks like and this

70
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: is pretty interesting that Okay, early next week COVID Cabinet

71
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Committee will approve a plan lifting restrictions, starting with the

72
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: restrictions exemption program. Now, my advice to the truckers not

73
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: that these guys are going to listen to me, although

74
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: I support them completely. They've been totally peaceful. The allegations

75
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,679
Speaker 1: by the Prime Minister have been just a bunch of crap.

76
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Is that until I hear from Trudeau, I don't think

77
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: i'd give up yet, I'd stay there a little longer

78
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: to this is totally one anyway. Joining us now is

79
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: Brian Brazzie is the organizer of the People's Convoy, the

80
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: American counterpart to the Canadian Freedom Convoy, heat by the

81
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: ways in his truck right now. And Jason la Fosse

82
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: is with us and he's the Northern Ontario organizer for

83
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: the Freedom Convoy in Canada. Jason, what do you make

84
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: of this new news? Sounds to me like you guys

85
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,720
Speaker 1: were winning. Well, it seems like we're winning. Um. But

86
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: the Ottawa Police up right now, I'm down at Confederation

87
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: part and uh there we have a we have about

88
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: fifteen police officers down here who are basically asking us

89
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: to take down the kitchen that we that we put

90
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: up so that we can feed the homeless and feed

91
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: everybody here. Right So, the Ottawa Police chief doesn't realize

92
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: that its officers are actually helping us a lot more

93
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: than he thinks. Oh that's why I've heard they like

94
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: telling you guys quietly, guys, we don't want to we

95
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: don't want to interfere. We're on your side. That's what

96
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: I've heard that from a number of people. You're confirming that,

97
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. Like even today I spoke a couple

98
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: officers and basically their Leason team is telling us. They're saying,

99
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: look at we don't want any any confrontation. We're tired

100
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: of this too, and they support us. So, I mean,

101
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: if they weren't supporting us, uh, we you know, we

102
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: would have had arrests, we would have had all this

103
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: stuff done. But Jason, they were talking about the Ottawa

104
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: Police chief was talking about bringing in the freaking military.

105
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and that's not going to happen because we've

106
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: had military personnel show up down here and we've spoken

107
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: to them. Some of them are sergeants, some of them

108
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: are are actually officers, and they said, if the government

109
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: decides to ennoct any kind of war Measures Act or

110
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: which which we don't have anymore, but if they tried

111
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: to ennoct anything to use the military, they will put

112
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 1: down their arms and stand with us. I have never

113
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: seen so far. Now, maybe I'm wrong, maybe it happened

114
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: and I missed it, but I've not seen any violence

115
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: at all whatsoever. Is that still the case? That's still

116
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: the case. The only thing that we're we're having right now.

117
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: That is agitators. So yesterday I went for a walk

118
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: up onto the hill and we have a lady here

119
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: in Canada who's she's self proflaimed Queen of Canada and

120
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: she was burning the flag got Capitol Hill, which is

121
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: a crime. It's a federal crime in Canada. And the

122
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: provincial parliamentary or sorry the Parliamentary Police services stood there,

123
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: did nothing. The Ottawa Police did there did nothing, and

124
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: this is a federal crime. Let me let me rewind

125
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: you that. So when I took a walk like, I

126
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: walked away because I was disgusted. I don't believe in

127
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: burning any flag. I'm very patriotic and I'm walking away

128
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: and her she's a I wouldn't bago with her entourage

129
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: and they were protected by the Ottawa Police. Wow, well,

130
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm unbelievable, you know. I will tell you. I could

131
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: say I could even sing the Canadian national anthem. I've

132
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: watched so many hockey games in my life. I'm a

133
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: big hockey fan and I played hockey all my life

134
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: when I was growing up. Let me go to Brian. Brian,

Speaker 1: You're kind of the American counterpart and American truckers have

137
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: been standing in solidarity. Many have crossed the border to

138
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: even even be there with the Canadian truckers. UM, tell

Speaker 1: if you're ready for some some breaking news, we are

156
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: welcoming on UM. The Freedom Fighter Nation, Freedom Fighter Nation

157
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: dot Org is jumping on with with a full team

158
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: of support behind them, and we're looking forward to working

159
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: with that group. But with that comes in a lot

160
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: of resources and supplies and things are coming to support

161
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: us to help us get this going on, which does

162
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 1: cause a little bit of fluctuation. And like I've been

163
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: saying from day one, this is a very fluid situation

164
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: building fast h quick break. Will come back more with

165
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 1: Brian Brazzie and Jason will Foss on the other side.

166
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: Come on, man, it's taken me forty seven years to

167
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: perfect doing nothing. I had to become president. There's Joe. Yeah,

168
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: I could do that better than anybody. Joe Biden, the

169
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: most dangerous man in America. This is the John Hannity Show.

170
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: I had twenty five un the top of the hour,

171
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine for one. Sean, you want to

172
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: be a part of the program, all right. So the

173
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: Olympics started, By the way, it's so dumb. What is

174
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: there a fourteen hour difference than the opening ceremonies already occur,

175
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: Linda yep okay. And so NBC hasn't figured out that

176
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: most people that want to watch this stuff, it's not

177
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: I'm not boycotting. I just have no interest in it,

178
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: except you know, very few sporting events. Everybody in America

179
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: is going to know the results before the air, so

180
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: that's a problem. But here's what's really worse about this,

181
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 1: and this goes to the International Olympic Committee and the

182
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: countries that they pick, like Russia and China, and they

183
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: ignore all the human rights abuses. You know, you had

184
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: Chinese thought police. They stopped a live TV report on

185
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: the Olympics by a Dutch broadcaster, That's what they did.

186
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: Then you have as the Olympics begin, Beijing projects shared

187
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: future of undisputed Chinese power. Oh you know. Uh, here's

188
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: the headline from the New York Post. Russia and China

189
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: pushed back against the US in a pre Olympic summit.

190
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: They want to show the world they're joined at the hip.

191
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: And by the way, they're both enabling and partnering with

192
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: Iran in their pursuit of a nuclear weapon. That's not

193
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: a good thing for the world. I want to play. Actually,

194
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: there was a good segment when they kicked off the

195
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: Olympic coverage citing China's genocide and you know the place

196
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: where COVID began. I was a little surprised the nation

197
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: where COVID began has treated the pandemic differently from the

198
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: rest of the world. It's zero tolerance COVID policy has

199
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: made getting here and putting on the games incredibly challenging

200
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: for everyone involved. Now, the Olympic host city and nation

201
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: are traditionally celebrated. Well, that might be the case for

202
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: some of the world, it is not for many of

203
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: you watching back home. As an undeniably emerging superpower and force,

204
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: China is under worldwide scrutiny. With the global focus of

205
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: the Olympic Games returning to a country that has undergo

206
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: a rapid rise in the fourteen years between the Summer

207
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Games of two thousand and eight and these Winter Games,

208
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: everything and everyone attached to these games is facing questions.

209
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 1: The hosts, the guests, the IOC, the sponsors, media and athletes.

210
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: The United States government is not here. A diplomatic boycott

211
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 1: announced this fall, joined by Canada, Great Britain and Australia,

212
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 1: citing China's human rights record and the US government's declaration

213
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: that the Chinese Communist Party is guilty of committing genocide

214
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: on the weaker Muslim population in Western Hinjong region. That's

215
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: a charge to China denies. Then the worst part of

216
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: all Nancy Pelosi urging athletes, don't don't say anything bad

217
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: while you're there. We're worried about what might happen to you.

218
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? We're going to change who we

219
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: are and give into that oppressive regime, that dictatorial regime,

220
00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: that murdering regime. I was stunned. Forget the land the

221
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: Free and the home of the brave, and liberty and

222
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: freedom and justice for all. Wow, Peter Schweitzer's back with us.

223
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: He knows more about China and corruption of Americans doing

224
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: business in China than anyone else. Very very happy and

225
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: so glad that his new book that is entitled Red

226
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: Handed How American Elites Get rich Helping China Win Sir,

227
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: debuting number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

228
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: I told you we'd have you back often because there's

229
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,679
Speaker 1: too much to tell through the prism of this Olympics.

230
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,439
Speaker 1: And then Nancy Pelosi's comments, and how stupid this diplomatic

231
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: boycott is. It's meaningless to anybody. What is your reaction? Well,

232
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: Sean is great to be with you, and we're number

233
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: one because of a lot of help from you, So

234
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: thank you. And yeah, I think the Nancy Pelosi comment

235
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: signifies what the establishment and the elites got profoundly wrong.

236
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: They've said for thirty years, Sean, if we give China

237
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: access to our financial system, the technology, we openly trade

238
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: with them, they're going to become more like us. That

239
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: hasn't happened. They're more repressive than they've ever been. What

240
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: is happening, though, is we're becoming more like them. We're

241
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: starting to censor ourselves, and it's an enormous problem. And

242
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: it's not that the average American wants that. It's that

243
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: these elites like Nancy Pelosi that have financial deals in

244
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: China want us to censor what we're saying about China,

245
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: and enough enough, we need to stop doing it. It's

246
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable now as I pour through the pages of

247
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: your book, and I know we've spent a lot of

248
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: time on Hunter Biden and the Bidens, they're the worst

249
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: of the bunch. Correct, Yes, absolutely, especially because it's chid

250
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: The deals are all tied to Chinese intelligence and he's

251
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: now President of the United States. Huge, huge, huge national

252
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: security problem that we need to get to the bottom

253
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: of So my question to you is who are the

254
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: other people, because there's a lot of people that you

255
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: mentioned in the book, and why is it the people

256
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: are just willing to overlook the human rights atrocities or

257
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: the wagers for example, are the territorial ambitions towards Taiwan

258
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: or the crackdown in Hong Kong, or COVID nineteen and

259
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: the lies about the origins of the coronavirus. Well, it's

260
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: a great question, Sean. I think part of it with

261
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: a lot of politicians like Nancy Pelosi is it's motivated

262
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: by money. They want money. But then when you look

263
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: at some of the big titans in Silicon Valley, guys

264
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: like Mark Zuckerberg or Bill Gates, I mean, they got

265
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: one hundred billion dollars and more, you wonder what their

266
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: motivation is. Mark Zuckerberg, I think would be one of

267
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: the worst the founders of Facebook is I recount in

268
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: the book a couple of stories. In one case, he

269
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: meets President Gee and Zuckerberg's wife is pregnant, and he

270
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: goes to President Gee and asks him to provide a

271
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: name for his child, which Jen obviously sees as so

272
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: over the top. He declared minds to do it, but

273
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: it shows the extent to which he's willing to suck up.

274
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: In another instance, the lead propagandist for the Chinese Communist

275
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: Party visits Facebook headquarters. Zuckerberg gives him a tour. They

276
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: then go to Zuckerberg's office. The chief propagandas sits in

277
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: Zuckerberg's chair and he notices a book sitting on the

278
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: desk and he pulls it over and it's a book

279
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: of the collected speeches of President G of China. And

280
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: he turns to Zuckerberg and says, oh, why do you

281
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: have this? And Zuckerberg says, I'm reading it. I also

282
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: bought copies for all my senior managers because I want

283
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: them to understand socialism with Chinese characteristics. This is I

284
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: couldn't be any happier, how Linda, what's the final number?

285
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: What was Facebook down yesterday and today? Two hundred and

286
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: fifty billion dollars or something. It's close to two hundred

287
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: fifty billon dollars. It's a wonderful gee. Sorry, Mark, and

288
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: his net worth is down thirty one billion. He's now

289
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: the tenth wealthiest person. Oh so sorry to hear. He

290
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 1: still has he started out. I think ninety billion, so

291
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: that's like a third of his earnings. And I'll tell you,

292
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they're gonna be able to turn that

293
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: ship around the way they might think. We'll have to

294
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 1: wait and see what I don't I don't know, Peter.

295
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 1: This this bewilders me because the bottom line is, Okay,

296
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: they're a capitalist, they'll compromise, they'll look the other way.

297
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: They don't care about human rights, atrocities, a repressive regime

298
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: like like communists China, and that a government are they

299
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: hold so much of our government debt. Okay, they don't

300
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: seem to care. And yeah, I guess, I guess. What

301
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: stuns me though, is that we have a president of

302
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: the United States whose family we've now proven there there's

303
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: no ambiguity here. The evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible that

304
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 1: they have profited off this relationship, traded off their name,

305
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: and are fully incompletely compromised by China, Russia, Ukraine and others.

306
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: And nobody seems to want to do a thing about it.

307
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: And you know, if the last name was Trump, that'd

308
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: be a very different reaction. So what do we do? Well?

309
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: I think the first thing is we hope that the

310
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 1: Republicans retake the House and the Senate, because then you've

311
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: got people like to Congressman Jim Jordan, who will have

312
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: subpoena power and he can pull these people on to

313
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. But it's a hugely bewildering situation, Sean. I mean,

314
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: you mentioned Trump. You know, you and I are both

315
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: old enough to remember the Cold War. And just imagine

316
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: if Jimmy Carter's family or Ronald Reagan's family was doing

317
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: deals with Russian businessmen who were linked to the KGB.

318
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, there'd be sirens going off on the Washington

319
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: DC mall. And yet that's precisely what you have with

320
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: the Biden some thirty one million dollars they got these deals.

321
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 1: Every single one of those deals traces back to a

322
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: Chinese businessman who has links to the highest levels of

323
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: Chinese intelligence, meaning the Vice Minister for State Security, the

324
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: former Minister of State Security. You can't make this stuff up.

325
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: And you know, the only position that defenders of the

326
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: Bidens can claim is that somehow this is a weird coincidence.

327
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's absurd, it's absurd. This is a classic

328
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: opportunity that the Chinese created to put leverage on the

329
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: Biden family. They have leverage on this family and they

330
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: are getting exactly from this administration what they want. So Zough,

331
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: the bottom line is there's no doubt that they're compromised

332
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: when you look at others that are literally because the

333
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: title of your book says it all how American elites

334
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 1: get rich helping China win. Now, I would argue that

335
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: giving Vladimir Putin a waiver for his pipeline while simultaneously

336
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: canceling high paying career jobs on the Keystone xel pipeline

337
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: speaks volumes about Joe Biden and China. And course we

338
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: know Hunter made a fortune with the Russian oligarch. So

339
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: now the question is who are the other people that

340
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: are profiting the most? And maybe you know have ethical

341
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: issues surrounding all of this, because I suspect if you're

342
00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: a Republican and you're doing it, you're going to be

343
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: in deep trouble. Well, I think you're right. I do

344
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: think that there seemed to be different attitudes within the parties,

345
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: the political parties about China. If you look at Capitol Hill,

346
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: I have a whole chapter on it. You've got Nancy

347
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: Pelosi's family with financial ties in China, and it really

348
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: led her to switch her views. She used to be

349
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: pretty hostile to the dictatorial regime. That's changed. If you

350
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: look over in the Senate, you've got Mitch McConnell, and

351
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: you've also got Senator Diane Feinstein, who was the chairman

352
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and Sean. At the same time,

353
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 1: her husband was business partners with a Chinese computer company

354
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: that sold computers to the United States Marine Corps that

355
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: the Marines, of course found out, was completely bugged by

356
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: Chinese intelligence. So that's the level of how do you

357
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: not know that you know? When we were in I

358
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: guess it was Singapore. Remember we got the Linda you

359
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: were there, James, Uncle James, you were there, and when

360
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: we went there, um. I was warned repeatedly that I

361
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: would be likely followed. I was warned that I'd be

362
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: spied on. I was warned not to even do not

363
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: bring my personal phone with me. I was given a

364
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: different phone every single day, and I was told every

365
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: time I walk into a hotel or a restaurant that

366
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: Chinese intelligence would be in the room at acting like

367
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: the waiters or whatever. And watching every move we make.

368
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: I mean, are they really that sophisticated or were people

369
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: paranoid that were telling me this? No, that's that's absolutely correct.

370
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: And you would be a prime target because of your

371
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: each They would want to get you, because of the

372
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: influence you have in the national conversation. And I'm sure

373
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: that you you followed those rules. You didn't do anything foolish.

374
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: Contrast that with Hunter Biden. He sets up these deals

375
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: with these Chinese businessmen linked to Chinese intelligence, and then

376
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: he goes to the Secret Service and this has been

377
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: confirmed by the Secret Service, and he tells them in

378
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: the summer of twenty fourteen, I don't want you traveling

379
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: with me when I visit China. Now why on earthed?

380
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Knowing the threat that you just talked about that certainly

381
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: the son of the sitting vice president would say any

382
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: dominent businessman. Yeah, but even Libya knew he was a

383
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: crack addict. And like, let's say, women of the Evening,

384
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: I'm being polite. Yeah, So I can only imagine the

385
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: dossier that China has. I mean, the whole family's compromised

386
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: and listen, and it got so bad, Peter, my room

387
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: was swept every day. Yeah, and I don't remember if

388
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: it was Hell's Sinkier Singapore. But on one occasion something

389
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: was found. I forget where, Linda, you remember where that? Okay? Yeah,

390
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: we were in Finland and they were sweeping all the

391
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: rooms and we found them in the rooms. No, no,

392
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: they found it in my room. I know what I'm saying.

393
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: Like we like me and Sarah Carter, came back to

394
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: our rooms and people were still in there, right, And

395
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: then when they would after they swept the room, then

396
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: they would put, you know, certain tapes and positions to

397
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: make sure that nobody snuck in. I mean, it's it's

398
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: it's insane by novel. It's I want nothing to do

399
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: with these countries. I I you know what the hostile regimes,

400
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:41,119
Speaker 1: hostile enemies. You're not hostile, You're exposing at all. Congratulations

401
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,320
