The Daily Signal - ‘Red-Handed’ Author Peter Schweizer Reveals How China Captured America’s Elites

America's elites are selling out their country to the Chinese Communist Party. Politicians, athletes, filmmakers, and others from the highest echelons of American society have apparently decided it is more profitable to kowtow to Beijing than it is to support their own country.

So says Peter Schweizer, author of the new book "Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win," which exposes how even President Joe Biden's family is implicated.

As Schweizer explains, "In the case of the Bidens, these commercial ties really began when Joe Biden was vice president of the United States. [His son] Hunter Biden went to Beijing looking for financial deals and what we found is that the Bidens have received some $31 million from four Chinese businessmen.

"The story takes an even more dramatic turn when you realize that those four Chinese businessmen all have links to the highest levels of Chinese intelligence."

Schweizer joins the show to discuss how and why these elites are "helping China win."

We also cover these stories:

  • Biden orders that Trump White House visitor logs for Jan. 6, 2021, be provided to the special congressional committee investigating the Capitol riot.
  • NATO's secretary-general says Russia is continuing to build up its military around Ukraine, contradicting Russia’s claims of pulling troops back from the Ukrainian border.
  • Voters recall and oust three members of the San Francisco Board of Education over the city’s slow reopening of schools amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the board's plan to rename 44 of the city's schools because of the alleged racism of the people they are named after.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S6 Bonus: Jim Fagan, Global Cloud Exchange

Jim Fagan has had a long and winding road into the tech world. He grew up in New Jersey, and post school, started out in Finance. Slowly, through those roles, he drifted towards operations, and then eventually, towards technology. Personally, he loves to be outside, doing stuff that involves the water. He enjoys surfing, wakeboarding, skiing, you name it. Through his profession, he has travelled the world, and visited many amazing places, including spending 9 years in Hong Kong. He found great pleasure in learning the cultures - personal and business - and how to reach out across languages to make connections.

Jim found himself in an opportune position, to join a company and not only bring it back to life, but to take advantage of a massive global connectivity solution, providing managed network services for over 140 multi-national companies. The question he was hired to answer was - how do we combine infrastructure with software?

This is the pivot story of Global Cloud Exchange.
