Peter Schweizer's Red-Handed and Its Case Against Elite China Ties

Showing 4 Red-Handed videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Red-Handed, journalist Peter Schweizer's book on American elites' financial and political ties to the Chinese Communist Party, became the subject of an extended conversation with Charlie Kirk covering the specific figures Schweizer investigated, including Bill Gates, Elon Musk, LeBron James, and Joe Biden. Schweizer distinguished between what he described as straightforwardly profit-driven cooperation with Beijing and a subtler ideological admiration some billionaires expressed for China's centralized decision-making, arguing the latter group's motives were harder to explain through wealth alone given how much money they already possessed. He detailed LeBron James's business ties to Chinese state media and Nike's China-specific product lines as evidence of a pattern predating the more widely reported 2019 Houston Rockets controversy, tracing the athlete's reluctance to criticize Beijing back to earlier controversies involving China's support for the regime in Sudan. In a separate conversation, Schweizer laid out corporate records he said showed the Biden family received 31 million dollars from Chinese businessmen with intelligence ties, payments he argued began while Joe Biden served as vice president despite no discernible services being provided in return, framing the classified documents scandal that dominated headlines at the time as a distraction from the more consequential financial relationship.
