Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael A. Dishop click number sixty two for us. This
was such an exciting moment last night during the Olympics
and gets things going, not holding back. That's the forty
forty highly do right on jump number one, going for
the absolute biggest trick of the day. Thus are all smiles.

(00:22):
Eileen understands how big a moment this is, not just
for her but for China and for what she's trying
to do time not just about perfect. Yeah, what she's
trying to do is pretty obvious if you're not hip
to this story. This Eileen Goo or google a Ling
as she's known since she's competing for the Communist Chinese

(00:44):
despite being American born. She's born in San Francisco. Yeah,
that's correct, which fits. But anyway, Yes, she has renounced
her US citizenship. She want to admit that, though why
she and her sponsors at at one point kind of
admitted it red bulls of big sponsor hers, but then
they kind of questioned it, and now she just doesn't.

(01:04):
She says, I feel every bit as American as I
do Chinese. She won't answer questions about it, so she
renounced to make any sense. By the way, what's that
that you could have those feelings. They don't make any sense. Well, look,
unless she's incredibly naive, and I don't think she is.
Here's what's going on. She's this hot young woman, looks

(01:29):
like a model. Where's lots of makeup always, even when
she competes, she looks like she's going to the Oscars. Okay,
she's an enormous brand in China, and she and her
I'm sure, I'm sure the look she she left the
United States for our country exactly, great, great pr coup
for them exactly. And and because she's a good looking

(01:52):
woman and and building a brand, and she's very good
at what she does. I mean, there's no denying that
you get comforts like this and Yahoo Sports, I lean
Goua is one of the five this free skiers in
the world. Graceful and daring and utterly fearless off the skis,
she possesses model level poise, speaks two languages, fluently plays
death piano, and is preparing to attend Stanford this fall,

(02:12):
and exhibits the kind of compassion and empathy that allows
her millions of social media followers to feel they truly
know her. Raised in the U S Scheme for China,
I leaned Goo is Beijing's most fascinating athlete unfreaking beliefs.
So I wonder how much money the Communist Party gave

(02:32):
her family or whatever to get them to do that,
because you you wouldn't do that unless you were getting
something out of it. Well, I just I think, as
I said, she is an enormous brand in China. She's
already all over advertisements and endorsements and is a sought
after TV guest. She speaks fluent Mandarin. Her mom was
Chinese immigrated to the United States, or dad was American.

(02:54):
He's nobody can find him or talk to him, evidently, Um,
but she made the decision to renounce her citizen ship
and ski for the most awful repressive regime on earth, clearly,
I mean in terms of capability to oppress the world.
They make the Nazis look like punks. Well, how we

(03:15):
haven't may be able to shift gears on this. It's
amazing to me go back to when if you're old enough,
you remember what the Olympics were like when it was
US against the c c c P back in the day,
US and the Soviet Union in the Olympics, And imagine
if some born in the United States person had renounced
their US citizenship and it was now competing for the
Soviet Union. We wouldn't have held them up as a

(03:38):
model of something that's exciting and fun and isn't it great.
We wouldn't have called them the most fascinating athletes. No,
we would not. No. Indeed, Yeah, so she's a either
such a greed head she's overlooking the horrors of the
Chinese regime, or be she doesn't care but the idea

(04:02):
and oh so the reason I turned off the Olympics
and discussed last night. Um as the American announcers were
gushing over this check, just gushing over how interesting it
was and how multicultural she was. And you know, Mike
Tarico at the beginning, it was like he wanted to
sleep with her. It was just disgusting, just the flattery

(04:26):
at all and just never even tipping their cap to
the fact that she had renounced her citizenship in favor
of the most repressive regime probably in the history of
earthly Again, in terms of capability, I just I don't know,
but she's she's very savvy, she said on Instagram. I

(04:49):
am proud of my heritage and equally proud of my
American upbringings. The opportunity to inspire millions of young people
where my mom was born during the Beijing Olympic Winner
Games is a once in a lifetime opportunity to help
promote the sport I love through skiing. I hope to
unite people, promote common understanding, create communication, and forge friendships

(05:09):
between nations. Now I can you can just imagine the
way they portray her in China? Oh yeah, in the
in the ongoing battle to convince their population that their
system is better than ours. Here's this fabulously talented, good
looking woman who left the United States, gave up her
citizenship to come join our side. How much better we

(05:30):
are than they are? You know, when we've talked about
China's whole of society effort to take over the globe
and defeat the United States, it's clear now, I mean
it's utterly clear that that's what they're doing. Uh. Figure skaters,
Beverly's you and Ashley Lynne are also uh competing for
the communist Chinese as our several hockey players American hockey players.

(05:55):
So is some of it? Is it just easier to
make the team or they'll put you on the team
because they're so aded to have the uh the story
in China. Yeah, you gotta think about it kind of
like college recruiting. If the Chinese are deficient in a
certain area, say they're hockey team and they're really good
American players who can't make the American team but have
some loose claim to Chinese heritage, Well, then yeah, the

(06:18):
Chinese governmental recruit them. Now, exactly how they recruit them
and what they offer them, I don't know. And and listen,
I am willing to grant a nineteen year old hockey
player or skier or something like that is just dopey
and doesn't understand the geopolitical implications of it. Um. You know,
I'm not calling for a life sentence for any of these.
Given you up your your U S citizenship though that's

(06:39):
a heck of a thing, and then being dishonest about
it not admitting it. I haven't tried to have it
both ways to become a giant marketing force in both countries. Sorry,
you don't lay down with the oppressive communist communists and
get an okay from me. No,
