While NBC covers the Beijing Winter Olympics like the dutiful Communist propaganda machine that they are, China is using the opportunity to present a "giant middle finger to us all," Glenn Beck said on the radio program Friday.
Glenn played an audio clip of NBC's Savannah Guthrie describing the events at the Olympic Opening Ceremony, as a Uyghur chosen by the Chinese Communist Party co-lights the Olympic flame.
"This moment is quite provocative. It's a statement from the Chinese President Xi Jinping to choose an athlete from the Uyghur minority. It's an in-your-face response to the Western nation, including the U.S., who had called this Chinese treatment of that group genocide and diplomatically boycotted these games," Guthrie proclaimed.

"She ... plays into the propaganda of it all," Glenn said of Guthrie. "She couldn't say anything differently ... NBC wouldn't want her to because NBC is owned by NBC Universal, and they want their movies in China because we are no longer Americans at all. We have sold out to China.'" he added.
Glenn went on to note that the "Chinese people are not the enemy. The enemy is the Chinese Communist Party that plays for keeps. And they're playing for the whole world."
Watch the video clip below to hear Glenn explain why he think no American should be watching the blatantly Communist propaganda currently on our TVs.

Senate unanimously passes bill banning imported goods made from Uyghur slave labor, punishes China for human rights abuses
The Senate unanimously passed a bill punishing the Chinese Communist Party for a history of human rights abuses. The Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act would ban all imports from the Chinese region of Xinjiang unless there is "clear and convincing evidence" that the "products were not produced wholly or in part by convict labor, forced labor, or indentured labor under penal sanctions."
"In the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, the Government of the People’s Republic of China has, since 2017, arbitrarily detained as many as 1.8 million Uyghurs, Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and members of other Muslim minority groups in a system of extrajudicial mass internment camps, and has subjected detainees to forced labor, torture, political indoctrination, and other severe human rights abuses," the bill states.
The Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act states that efforts to certify that products are not made by forced labor are "unreliable due to the extent forced labor has been integrated into the regional economy, the mixing of involuntary labor with voluntary labor, the inability of witnesses to speak freely about working conditions given government surveillance and coercion, and the incentive of government officials to conceal government-sponsored forced labor."
The bill hopes to open the door for other countries to stop importing goods made with forced labor from the Xinjiang region.
NBC News reported, "Xinjiang is a resource-rich mining region, important for agricultural production, particularly cotton and tomatoes, and home to a booming industrial sector."
Axios noted, "Major corporations like Nike and Coca Cola had lobbied against the bill, which has far-reaching consequences for U.S. supply chains deeply integrated with Chinese industry."
The bipartisan bill was first introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), and James P. McGovern (D-Mass.) in 2020.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act last week by an overwhelming vote of 428-1. The bill now heads to the desk of President Joe Biden.
On Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration "welcomes" the legislation.
"The President welcomes the agreement by Congress on the bipartisan Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act," Psaki said in a press release. "We agree with Congress that action can and must be taken to hold the People’s Republic of China accountable for genocide and human rights abuses and to address forced labor in Xinjiang."
"That is why the Administration has already taken concrete measures including imposing visa restrictions, Global Magnitsky Act and other financial sanctions, export controls, import restrictions, and the release of a business advisory," the statement reads.
"The Administration will work closely with Congress to implement this bill to ensure global supply chains are free of forced labor, while simultaneously working to on-shore and third-shore key supply chains, including semiconductors and clean energy," she concluded.
China denies any human rights abuses. In April, CCP foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said accusations of forced labor or concentration camps in Xinjiang are "lies and false information concocted by anti-China forces" in an effort to "undermine Xinjiang’s stability and security and curb China’s development."
US House passes bill banning imports from China over Uyghur slave labor
The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday that would ban the importation of products made in the Xinjiang region of China due to concerns about communist country's treatment of religious and ethnic minorities.
The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act was passed overwhelmingly by a vote of 428-1.
The bill aims to impose economic sanctions on the northwest region of China due to the use of slave labor and subjugation of the Uyghur Muslims to make goods.
The legislation has received overwhelming support from both parties and is viewed as a stand against China's genocide of the country's religious and ethnic minorities. In fact, in a rare turn of events, the bill has united Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Republican Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.).
The bill got attention after Rubio stalled action on the annual defense bill in an effort to get the same language into the defense legislation as an amendment, NPR said. The Florida senator's efforts failed, so when the House passed the Chinese labor bill, he offered his support.
"This is a bill that says if products are made in that part of China they are presumed to have been made by slave labor unless the manufacturer can prove it wasn't," Rubio said.
There is some concern among Republicans about whether or not the Biden administration will support the bill. Sen. Rubio said in a statement Wednesday that the Biden administration and corporate interests are "already working to complicate things here in the Senate."
However, State Department spokesperson Ned Prince said on Wednesday that the administration did not oppose the bill and would not lobby against it. Prince claimed that the administration "has perhaps done more than any administration and really galvanized the international community to put a spotlight on what has taken place in Xinjiang."
Democrats appear hopeful that the Biden administration will support the legislation since the bill's details align with the administration's diplomatic stand not to attend the Winter Olympics, made earlier this week due to China's human rights violations.
The bill now heads to the Senate and, if signed into law, will take effect no later than June 8.
President Biden has yet to issue a statement about whether he supports the bill but has expressed a shared concern about the forced labor in China's Xinjiang region.
When asked whether the president will support the legislation if it passes the Senate, Speaker Pelosi's spokesman Drew Hammill indicated that the speaker believes the president will support the bill.
