President Trump is set to deliver what he calls the most important speech of his presidency tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern, and the central question is whether he will finally take on China directly over election interference. Glenn Beck and investigative journalist Peter Schweizer lay out the evidence that has been building for months—including hacked voter databases, a scheme to exploit mail-in ballots with fake IDs, and a CIA that allegedly suppressed the information because it might help Trump win in 2020.

The evidence against China

Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and author of The Invisible Coup, says he expects China to be a "central player" in Trump's address. He points to two major threads that journalist John Solomon has helped declassify. First, China hacked into voter databases in multiple states. Second, the FBI received a tip that China was looking for ways to exploit the mail-in balloting system—specifically through fake IDs.

Show Notes

Gas prices ticked up slightly yet again overnight, as Americans are still wondering what is going on in Iran. Glenn brings in Jason to break down what we know, what we’re assuming, and what still needs to be figured out as the Trump administration continues to make moves. Former President Joe Biden is releasing a memoir he allegedly wrote, and Glenn reacts to his announcement video. Is there any possibility that Biden wrote the book himself? Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute, joins to theorize what President Trump may discuss during his address to the nation, which will include a major announcement, according to Trump. Is President Trump gearing up to announce something big regarding foreign election interference? Glenn reacts to Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) claiming that requiring voter ID would make it hard for any Democrat to win another election. Why would that be? Glenn warns that if we don’t teach the younger generations the truth about communism, America will fall victim to it just as other countries have done in the past. Glenn also reacts to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) claiming that capitalism isn’t working.
