Distinguished Speaker Series - Peter Schweizer
A speaker outlines concerns about political corruption, China’s influence, and U.S. policy in this extended campus talk.
In this full-length lecture and Q&A session, a guest speaker presents arguments from his book “Blood Money,” discussing political corruption in Washington, D.C., and what he describes as “disintegration warfare” — a strategy he attributes to China aimed at weakening the United States. The talk explores topics such as insider trading by lawmakers, “milker bills,” foreign influence, and the role of financial ties between U.S. leaders and international entities. The speaker also examines issues like fentanyl trafficking, social media influence, election interference, and national security concerns.
