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.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Why Your Actions Matter More Than Words in the Eyes of God

Glenn Beck and Eric Metaxas expose the spiritual crisis gripping America’s churches — a moment they compare to Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s warning before World War II. As the culture descends into moral confusion, too many Christians retreat into silence, claiming faith while refusing to act. Together, they argue that true belief demands courage — that “faith without works is dead” — and warn that neutrality in the face of evil is itself a form of complicity.

Is Socialism replacing the American dream?

The American Dream used to mean freedom and the chance to build your own life through hard work, faith, and independence. But today, it’s been replaced by comfort, consumption, and debt. Glenn Beck breaks down how America traded liberty for lifestyle, why socialism is gaining ground, and what it will take to reclaim the real American Dream before it disappears for good.

GLENN: I don't know if you saw the visualizing the American dream, Stu.

You know, what the American dream actually is, is that you can forge your own way.

You can -- you know, you can have a scrap of land, and grow your own food if up.

You can, you know, go to school. Not go to school.

You can find a job. If you're qualified for it, you have an equal chance of getting it, you know, based on merit.

But the percentage of Americans who say the American dream is retirement is 86 percent. Health care, 86 percent. Owning a home, 85. Raising two kids, 78. Owning a car, 72. Vacations, 71. Pets, 66. A wedding, 55 percent. That's the American dream, I can get married.

The American dream, if that's what you think, they've now estimated, the cost per household over the cost -- over the lifetime, retirement is $1.6 million. Owning a home now, 30-year mortgage, 20 percent you want to, is $957,594. Owning a car, buying and finance to begin with new cars every ten years is now $900,000 over your lifetime. Raising two kids to 18, plus four years of public college, $876,092. Two kids. Health care, over your lifetime, spending from ages 22 to 85, $414,000. Vacations, annual vacation from '22 to '85, $180,000. One dog and one cat for 11 to 13 years is $40,000!

That's more expensive than a wedding. The engagement ring, the ceremony, and the reception is now estimated to be $38,200.

There's a reason socialism is doing well. You look at that, and you're like, wow. I mean, if that's the American dream. And for a lot of people, that is the American dream!

That's not what the American dream is supposed to be, but, you know, once -- you know, once Woodrow Wilson and FDR got a hold of us and they started advertising, it became stuff instead of freedom. It became stuff. And, you know, when there's a new report out. Let me see if I have that.

There's a new report out now that shows, first time home buyers made up just 21 percent of the home purchases. That's the lowest on record.

The typical age of repeat buyers hit an all-time high of '62. The median downtowns, reaching 23 percent.

The highest since 2023.

And also, where is it?

The last one is -- the median age for first time home buyers, in 1981, it was 29 years old.

I'm sorry. Yeah. Twenty-nine years old. In 2021, it was 33 years old.

What is it this year?

Median age, first time homeowner, forty.

You're 40 before you can buy any kind of home. That puts these things that people want, dream about, out of reach, until you're 40?

You know, 29 is one thing. But if you're not seeing -- you're not seeing your life really kind of settling down until you're 40, I -- I can understand why you're like, you know what, this system doesn't work.

Because you've never seen it work. It's betrayed you.

Or so you've been sold. It's betrayed you.

And everything is being pushed out of your reach. And when you're young, the one thing you're not is patient.

And at 40, I can see why people are not, you know, yeah. Well, socialism is neat because capitalism isn't working. How would you respond to that?

STU: I mean, it's more lengthy than we have time for. But I would say that the response to, you know, you thinking that you want a home is not to embrace an ideology that murders 100 million people.

That's not -- that's not a good answer to the problem that you think you have.

GLENN: But they're not learning that anywhere.

They're not -- that is our responsibility! To teach those things. Because they're not learning it anywhere.

Glenn Beck Warns of 3 Economic Outcomes That Could Change EVERYTHING | Ep 467

Socialism is spreading fast among America’s youth, and the shocking election of Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor in New York City marks a major cultural and economic shift. Glenn exposes how runaway debt, record home prices, AI job disruption, and the collapsing stake in capitalism have led many Millennials and members of Gen Z to embrace socialism and communism. He reveals the three possible economic futures for 2026: two that are disastrous and one that could change everything if the Trump administration’s global financial overhaul succeeds. Plus, Justin Haskins, president of the Heartland Institute, joins to reveal some terrifying truths about why young Americans are embracing socialism from a poll he conducted with Rasmussen Reports.

The world is about to realize the DEADLY enemy we face

"The world doesn't understand yet. We're already in World War III," Glenn Beck warns. "That foe is not China. That foe is militant Islam." Glenn explains the battle we're currently facing and what's to come if we don't wake up soon...

GLENN: From New Jersey, it's Brian. Hello, Brian.

CALLER: Hello!

GLENN: Hey.

CALLER: Yeah. Thanks for taking the calls today.

GLENN: Sure.

CALLER: Yeah. I'm worried that we are headed towards another French Revolution-style because we have entire generations. Or actually people just not being heard by their representatives.

GLENN: Hmm.

CALLER: And it's not just here. It's around the world.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

I -- actually, I had scheduled for this time, I'll just do it some other time. Talking about what's happening in -- in England.

I think England is headed for a Civil War. And -- and it's very close.

I mean, you can't put 4,000 people. 4,000 people, in jail, or try them for hate crimes. And speech crimes.

You can't -- you can't do it. In England!

You can't do that in one year. And expect people to just put up with it!

You can't -- you know, we're -- we're -- America doesn't understand yet.

The world doesn't understand.

We're in World War III. We're already in World War III.

I don't know when it becomes a hot war. Or even a war that we on our side recognize. But we are in World War III. And that -- that foe is not China.

That foe is militant Islam, period. And, you know, when we have a situation to where people are -- when the government is just like, no. It's not a problem.

It's not a problem. You know. You've got illegals all over.

It's not a problem.

It's not a problem.

It is a problem. Don't tell me what -- what the problems are not!

Because we're the ones living it!

You're the experts, who keep telling us, no. It's going to work out fine.

And it doesn't work out fine. And it just gets worse and worse.

Oh. We can spend this money. No. It looks like we can't spend this money. Oh, we can afford this. No. It looks like we can't afford this.

You know, if we do this with Ukraine, it will work out fine. No, it didn't, did it? These endless wars, all of this stuff, don't tell me what the problem is. Listen to the people and start talking to the people. Honestly, this is the reason why I'm doing this today. I -- I need to hear from you.

I need to know what's on your mind, so I stay focused and -- and clear on what America is saying.

Because I don't think -- look, you know, me taking phone calls is -- is not a true representation of anything, but it does give me a sense of -- of where you are, as an audience. Maybe not as America, but as an audience. And there are lots of things that concern me. But I want to hear it from you.
But I think you're right! We're headed for real, real trouble. All you need is real economic trouble.

You start getting real, true economic trouble. 1930s kind of depression stuff. And we're in Civil War.

Dan, Oregon. Welcome!

CALLER: Hello, Glenn. How are you?

GLENN: I'm great!

CALLER: Yeah. Good. It's been a long time.

I guess it's been over ten years, since I've had a chance to talk with you. I was one of your first insiders. I was listening to you, since you were in Florida.

GLENN: Wow. Wow.

CALLER: So it's been a long -- yeah. It has been. And I can't say I've enjoyed all of it.
(laughter)

GLENN: Neither have I!

STU: I can't say that either, I'll be honest with you.

CALLER: You know, you were talking on yesterday's show, reminiscing with Stu about how you guys started. And I remember those old shows. And, you know, at the end of the -- the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.

STU: Hmm.

GLENN: Right.

CALLER: And there was a lot more entertainment. I remember I laughed a lot.

GLENN: Oh, yeah. I know. I know. Those days are long dead.
(laughter)

STU: There's nothing to laugh about now.

CALLER: Yeah. I -- I'm 78. I still work 40 hours a week. I love my job.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: Been married for 55 years. I have seven kids.

GLENN: Good for you.

CALLER: I've got a daughter -- I've got a daughter who is in her 40s. And she has severe TDS. She -- we don't -- I mean, we're not cutting each other off. She hasn't done that at all. We're still very close as a family. But she was down visiting the other day, and got into a conversation with my wife. And I wasn't in the room. But Kathy said it was just like listening to one of those young people out on the street that was being interviewed by the news media. And she was -- and she was in tears about it. My wife and my daughter both.

And, I mean, I love her, and I continue to support her. She's a single woman, not by choice. She just never found the right guy.

GLENN: Yeah.

CALLER: And I really think that's part of the problem. Because she started reading -- back when Trump was first running, she started reading all of this stuff about him being misogynistic and all of this stuff.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah.

CALLER: And it's just gotten worse. I -- I'm at a loss. I really am. Because I -- like, I see the country doing better. I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. But I still feel like that at least right now, we're doing better as a whole. But what do we do about -- what do we do about our kids about -- she went to Portland State University for the last two --

GLENN: Oh, jeez, for the love of --

CALLER: Well, yeah. For the last two years, she went to -- she went to a little college in Idaho called Ricks for the first two years, and Utah State.

GLENN: Oh, yeah.

CALLER: And then she served a mission for our church in Brazil and came home, but then she went to Portland State University. And it just seems to have gone downhill from there.

GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. So, Dan, I think you are suffering from the same thing that almost all parents are suffering from. If you're not suffering from this, then, I mean, God bless you. You know, get on your knees and thank God. Because you are a lucky, lucky family. Everybody has in their family. I have it in my family.

And you have to ask yourself, what is your goal?

My -- what is your goal with your daughter? Your real goal?

CALLER: My real goal is for us to be united eternally. That's my goal. That's my goal as a father and has been to teach her --

GLENN: And how -- and how is that going to happen with politics?

CALLER: We just stay together as a family regardless of what politics does.

GLENN: That's exactly right. Exactly right.

I think we're in a place now where as parents, you can ask your kids, but it has to be honest. It cannot be trying to win. It has to be honest. How did you get there?

I mean, I remember. You know, we've talked about this before. And you didn't believe that before. What has changed?

Can you help me with that?

I would like to see what you're reading, or what that was.

And just ask questions. But they have to be honest. They can't be, you know, because I'm setting you up. Because I want to change your mind.

But keep a dialogue open with them. And just love them!

Just love them!

Because if you do anything else, you're going to drive them away. And then they're really lost. So just love them.

CALLER: Oh, I know that. Glenn, when she was young -- when she was young, I considered her one of the elect. And the Scripture says, that in the last days, even the elect are going to be deceived. And that's what I'm seeing. But everything you've said, I -- I am doing. I'm doing it that way. Because I know --

GLENN: Okay. Good. Then you didn't need to -- I appreciate it. I'm so glad you called me. But you didn't need to -- my advice, you already have it down. You're a very wise man.
