Speaker 1 (00:00):
Rannie, all this talk about communism in North Korea.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, hell, I'm driving through Chicago right now.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Too much different. Oh, don't tell him, I forgot to
put my gun in the lock box, Ey comrades.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Well, he's love hearing from our crazy ass truck drivers.
Oh my gosh, talk about China for a little bit.
The headlines that are up on the monitors right now
say that either Trump and She are having their phone
(00:38):
call right now, or they've had their phone call this morning.
Either way probably was pretty interesting. As I indicated yesterday
or day before. I don't know that Shi jing Ping
is really in power. Oh he's still the chairman and
(00:59):
the titular head of the Chinese Communist Party, but the
Chinese economy, the military is all in disarray. Over at
Fox News, Maria Barbiromo is talking to Congressman Brett Guthrie,
(01:20):
And this is the kind of stuff that you hear
that I think needs a little perspective.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I'm wondering, you know, about China and whether or not
the president needs to get tougher on travel to and
from China. I'm given the fact that a Chinese researchers
had this plot to smuggle a crop killing fungus into America.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
The FBI says, this is.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
You're aware of that story, right, that the boyfriend of
some Chinese national in this country is caught trying to
bring some sort of fungus, some really deadly fungalist fungus
that's considered an agro terrorist form of fun fun John
that could really destroy, you know, our entire crop system
(02:05):
because he wanted to conduct experiments like I don't know,
gain of function experiments or something tel like it was
done in Wuhan.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Incredibly serious.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
How do you see it?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I see the same thing. I think we have to
look at how we how we deal with China and
everything that we do.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
We're looking at.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
AI in our committee and how China's trying to dominate
AI in the world. And I think China is our
number one focus that we have to have, and so
I strongly support anything we can do to ban that
type of thing from China.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well, I mean, look, the list is growing here. You've
got a surveillance balloon a couple of years ago, a
surveilling American citizens, You've got intellectual property, theft, COVID fent
and all, and now an ad RO terrorist product.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Well, just think, just think if that country that you
just described who's done all of that dominates the world
platform for AI. That is actually what our committee has
been focused. Other than the one big beautiful bill, the
other big focus on our committee is how do we
unleash American AI? And the biggest issue that you talk
to people in the AI community, they say, we have
the brain power, we have the capital. Our biggest concern
(03:09):
are we're gonna have access to energy.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And we talked about that yesterday about how like Constellation
Energy in Illinois is spend their nuclear programs so that
they can provide consistent, reliable energy, cheap, abundant energy.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
And we're going to have access to a regulatory system
that allows us to compete and allows us to win.
And it absolutely is a geopolitical issue. I don't think
I'm too shrin out went to West Points in the
nineteen eighties. I don't think it's equivalent to win the
Soviet Union in the battle for Western Europe in the
Cold War. That's where we are with China now, and
(03:46):
we need to take it that serious.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Now only do we need to take it that seriously,
but we reco we should recognize that right now might
be a good time to do things like impose the tariffs,
really push Shiji against the wall. You've heard me talk
about Gregory Kopley before. He's the president of the International
Strategic Studies Association. He edits a journal that I subscribed
(04:13):
to called the Defense and Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy Journal.
You can go to the website, but you can't access
the articles because it's all behind a paywall. But he's
written quite a bit about Shijingping's power dynamics within the
Chinese Communist Party, and based on his writings and some
(04:35):
other resources, particularly, he's got commentary in the Epoch Times
back a couple of years ago. Here's kind of where
he stands or describes the whole situation. He argues that
Shei jing Ping has and continues to try to centralize
power by kind of taking China back to a How's
(05:00):
he'd done style governance model, which does what well that
emphasizes state control over virtually all aspects of Chinese life
and demands ideological purity. He's done things like suppressing some
of the Chinese tech giants Ali Baba Tenson and others.
(05:23):
All of that signals a shift away from what was
originally kind of a move toward privatization, and he wants
to move away from privatization in order to curb any
potential political deviation and of course to reinforce the Chinese
companiest Party's dominance. That move alone, and he's kind of
(05:47):
accomplished that, except I think he's overreached. That's seen as
she's bid to a mass personal power typical communist. It's
in him case, it's The Chinese Communist Party is simply
the mechanism by which Hi Jin Ping amasses personal power,
(06:10):
positions himself as a near absolute leader akin to mal
and then starts cracking down on private enterprise, reinforcing his
his singular dictatorship. The party simply becomes the apparatus by
which he enforces his own personal desires about how he
(06:34):
wants the country governed and the economy to operate. He
wants to eliminate all economic and political rivals and ensure
loyalty within the Chinese Communist Party to him and him alone.
Communists are just bizarre. Well, Kopany goes on to suggest
that She's policies are actually starting to create tensions within
(06:58):
the Chinese Communist and that could potentially lead to a
civil war over the party's future direction their meeting I
think I think their next polinary meeting is it may
be this August, so just a couple of months away.
I don't know whether it's being held in Beijing or what.
It's unimportant, but we may know by August whether or
(07:24):
not what Trump's been doing. Don't get me wrong, It's
not just Trump, but what Trump's doing in terms of
the tariffs, kind of drawing a red line about helping
the Russians, you know, stealing our ip. All of that
plus Si Gene Ping's overreach within the CCP could lead
(07:49):
to this civil war over the future of the party
because not all members of the Chinese Communist Party support
She's returned to these Alice principles because some actually favor
the economic openness of the Dungjow Peeing era, and that
factualism could challenge She's gripple his power and his gripp
(08:13):
on the party, and Coping in several of his articles,
highlights that she's aggressive anti corruption campaigns and the purchase
that he's actually been engaging in, while framed his reform
are actually tools to eliminate his rivals and consolidate his
control but doing so risks alienating, alienating key party members,
(08:41):
that sows seeds of descent, and that creates within the
party itself kind of this division that could collapse on him.
Dictators eventually fail, people rise up, or those around start
or her start to realize, wait a minute, you're not
(09:04):
operating as a party, You're operating as an individual. As
far back as twenty twenty two, Copley is quoted as
saying that she Geneping faces an enormous array of domestic enemies,
the party elites, regional leaders, economic stakeholders like the tech
(09:25):
companies who may oppose his central centralizing and centralization of
all policies, not within the Communist POLP bureau, not within
just the leaders of the party, but within himself. So
his power, while clearly formidable, is not unassailable because of
(09:46):
these internal pressures. And then you have all the economic challenges.
Do you realize there are resource shortages water, food, and energy,
and there is a complete reliance and I mean almost
totally complete reliance on global supply chains, while doing that
complicates She's ability to remain in absolute control. In twenty
(10:12):
twenty three, Copeley did an analysis for TV, a news
site and that interview connects she's power status to his
Taiwan policy. At the Apex Summit, she gave mixed signals.
He denied imminent invasion plans while at the same time
(10:33):
reserving the option of force, and Copley interpreted that as
a face saving exercise because he believes that she's military
and the economic and the economic conditions constrain and limit
his ability to act decisively, all of which potentially weakens
his image as an unchallengeable leader. That's something they can't stand. Now,
(10:58):
let's just for a second go over to Russia. Everybody
focuses on the Ukrainians destroying thirty or forty percent whatever
the number was of Russia's strategic bombers, and of course
the blowing up the bridge. That's not the focus. The
(11:18):
focus ought to be on Putin and the effect that
has on Putin's regime. Now, of course he'll lash out,
but why does he lash out? Because of paranoia. All
these tyrants are paranoid, and in this case, Putin has
to be wondering did somebody help? Were there people within
(11:43):
my own inner circle that knew about it? Because not
everybody within the inner circle necessarily agrees with the continuation
of the killing of now in excess of nine hundred
thousand Russian youths. Same things happening in China, that's going
on in Russia. These two dictators are, because of their overreach,
(12:07):
are facing really serious threats to their power. I would
give this diskount of critical assessment company's perspective. I really
admires I do admire his perspective. He portrays Gigi Ping
as a leader who has significantly consolidated his power, but
(12:29):
in doing so, he's created these internal vulnerabilities and then
his maliced beliefs, his malice tilt. While it does strengthen
his control over the Chinese Communist Party and the ideological
on the political machinery, at the same time it alienates
those factions that benefited benefited from Dunchowping's reforms. Now you've
(12:53):
got the absence of a clear successor, combined with all
this economic and military limitations. That's yes, that She's power
is not absolute. Now. Copley does actually use the term
civil war potential civil war. Now, I think that might
overstate the likelihood of an overt conflict because the Chinese
(13:15):
Communist Party structure prioritizes stability and it suppresses open descent.
So it's unclear if his views have evolved in light
as she's continued tenure and the twentieth Party Congress where
she secured a norm breaking third term. So as I
dig around trying to find it, I discover that this
(13:41):
if jene Pen has already lost power, why could he
still visit Russia and meet with the bell Arbushi him
President Lukashinko. It's a good question, and we've seen something before.
Let's go to Inconvenient Truths, which is a an account
(14:07):
Inconvenient truth by Jennifer. She is a staunch anti communist,
but she really has insider knowledge about what's going on
inside the regime. She says.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
In our last episode, we talked about she impossibly losing power,
and we were asked, if he's already lost power, why
could he still visit Russia. That's a great question. Today
we'll see if we can find some insights by looking
at the history of three top party leaders who were removed.
(14:46):
Let's look at the well often Mausodon's successor his removal
took three years to finish.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
After Maul died.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
He left a note saying, with you in charge at
East this was used to handle power to huag Wofen.
This is a very famous propaganda painting in China in
the late nineteen seventies, titled with You in Charge, I
Am at East. It showed a male passing power to
(15:21):
huag Wofen. In reality, this thing was made up October sixth,
nineteen seventy six, less than a month after Mao's deaths
quag Wofen worked with other top party officials to arras
the so called Gun of Four, including Mauth's widow jun
(15:43):
Jim l Night. He became the party's top leader and
in the ten year Cultural Revolution. However, as Mau's successor,
he put forward the two whatever slogan, whatever decision in
Chairman Moll made, we were firmly uphold. Whatever instructions Chairman
(16:05):
Maud gave, we were always followed. But at that time
China's economy was on the break of collapse. The so
called reformers, led by them Shaping, published the article in
Gaming Daily on May eleventh, nineteen seventy eight, titled practice
(16:26):
is the only standard to taste truth. This sparked a
nationwide debate on the standard of truth, which was the
start of rejecting quagom to Whatevers. In December that year,
at the third Paninaization of the eleventh Central Committee, the
(16:47):
party criticized the two whatevers, and then in September nineteen
eighty Quago often resigned as Premier of the State Council
due to the too whatever issue. The next year he
resigned as Chairman of the Central Committee and the chairman
of the Military Commission. So it took three years for
(17:12):
Juago to fully exit China's political stage.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
There you have it, an example that may be exactly
history repeating itself again. So Trump needs to keep maximus
pressure on China. We need to recognize that that's the
only way that we can help those I mean, they're
not gonna change our communist ways. That maybe change leadership.
(17:39):
Cream now Dul Jabbar Cream. Jean Pierre has written a book.
I'm not gonna buy the book. I know I could
do the same thing I did with Jake Tapper's book.
I could go to Barnes and Noble and be very
careful with it and read it and then return it
with the receipt and get my money back. So Jake
ta I get the benefit of reading the book. Jake
Tapper did not get my money. But I have no
(18:01):
interest in Kreeen albul Jabbar, who spent a couple of
at least a couple of years, maybe two and a
half years, whatever, it was, peddling misinformation to me. Remember
how much fun we had with her. You know, I
don't know the answer to that. I don't know. I
don't know, I don't know. Well, that's not true. That's
(18:22):
not true. That's not true. In case you forgot, the
woman who wrote a book and left the Democrat Party
because of misinformation used to talk like this.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The president had the stamina physically and mentally. Do you
think to continue on even after twenty twenty four done?
Speaker 8 (18:44):
You're asking me this question.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Oh my gosh, he's the president of the United States.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
You know he I can't even keep up with it.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
We just got back from New Mexico. We just got
back from California. That is, that is not a question
that we should be even asking that.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Jackie, are you here?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Where's Jackie?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
She must not be here, can't.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
I totally understand? I just explained she was on top
of mind.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The book is suggesting the president tells Age he's.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Tired, But that's in the extra thing.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Yeah, and that that's why they're being say a few
public events.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Before ten I mean, that's a ridiculous assumption to me, President.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I find that one particularly funny because that's an issue
that's addressed directly in Jake Tapper and Alex Johnson's book
that indeed the staff did say no events before ten am.
Remember how Dragon and I Dragon was always going on
to the White House schedule. Yep, he's got an event
at eleven forty five, lunch twelve fifteen, and then he's
done by three o'clock. Remember doctor Jill telling us how
(19:44):
we least ate up all night long reading his books.
Bull crap is.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
The oldest president in US history. Why is White House
staff treat him like a baby.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
No one treats the President of the United States, the
commander in chief, like a baby.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
There's both, It says, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Particulous claim.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
I would put the president's DaMina, the president's wisdom ability
to get this done on behalf of the American people
against anyone.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I was President Biden ever, going to convince the three
quarters of voters we're worried about his physical and mental
health that he is okay, even though in Las Vegas.
He told story about recently talking to a French president
who died in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
I'm not even going to go down that rabbit.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Hole with you, sir Nutty Well, I dare you bring
up the fact that he said something that's actually incorrect.
I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Comments were made in that report about that about obviously
about his memory that we don't believe lives in reality.
I think you all have called this the cheap fakes video,
and that's exactly what they are. They are cheap fakes video.
They are done in bad face and in some of
your news organization have been very clear, have stressed that
(20:56):
these right wing, the right wing critics of the president
have a credibility problem.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Has anybody asked her about the book about Tapper and
Alex book Original Sin, They actually say that you were
lying and that you knew better when you were saying
these things. Is anybody in the cable as she goes
on her book tour, you know, she makes the circuit,
(21:24):
is anybody going to ask her about that?
Speaker 9 (21:26):
I think there is so much misinformation disinformation as we've
been talking about. You talked about the video the president
wandering and it's not true, right, the President wasn't wandering,
and so.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
We believe we have to call that out.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
We've been calling a chief fakes.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
That is something that came from directly from the media outlets.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Is anyone in the White House hiding information about the
president's health or his ability to do the job? Data?
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
The other thing is interesting about that, that's Kelly what's
your name? From NBC News? Is there anybody in the
White House that is hiding anything about the president or
his health or his ability to do the job. And
our answer, of course is no. You are the purpose
that question. Do you think that Kelly uh can't remember name?
(22:15):
Do you really think she expected an honest answer, or
do you think the question was posed to simply get
on the record that hey, we were asking any question.
We asked the question, no follow on, no follow up question,
no follow up whatsoever. Let's just go.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Back and his health or his ability to do the job.
David absolutely unc Why do we have released?
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Has been very comprehensive, It has been it has been transparent.
With age comes wisdom and comes experience, and.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I think that matters as well.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
He is as sharp as as ever as I have.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Known him to be in my engagement, in my experience
with him, and I know when I walk into the
Oval office or or see him on Air Force one,
I have to be on top of my game.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
That's kind of a low bar, isn't it to be
on top of her game? Well, this deep state hypocrisy
is incarnate. Since maybe we ought to have a good laugh,
let's watch John Brennan, former CIA director, who is really
the personification of the deep state, fret at the CIA
(23:29):
and the FBI won't be a political under Trump, so
spewing cartoonish left wing propaganda because we know that the
CI and the FBI were anything but a political under
Biden Man. They just take us for idiots.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
His agencies, whether it be the FBI or CIA or others,
they attract individuals who really want to do right by
their fellow citizens and to tackle those tough issues, whether
it be terrorism or whether it be foreign espionage activities
here in the States. They're principled individuals who really believe
in the integrity that is necessary in order to conduct
(24:11):
these investigations again in an a political, non partisan way.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Hmm, you mean, like you and those fifty other people,
the fifty one intelligence officials that signed the letter that said, oh,
the hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation? Is that the
kind of person you're talking about, mister Brennan. These people
know zero bounds of hypocrisy, They have no self awareness whatsoever.
(24:39):
They're willing to just lie.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
And why not.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
The cabal will just cover up for them.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
But if this new regime now is putting in place
sort of this test of loyalty to the Trump administration again,
that is just that's so similar to the totalitarian regimes
that I've saw overseas so many for so many years,
in terms of making sure that the security services are
doing the bidding of the political leaders are not really
(25:09):
carrying out their obligations and responsibilities to the citizenry, to
the country, to their constitutions. And that's why I think
that the FBI, I think, is going to have a
tough time attracting individuals that have that type of principled
approach to government service agency.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
But if I'm most fascinating about that particular short SoundBite
is psychologically, what's he doing. He's talking about himself, He's
talking about the Biden regime, he's talking about all the
things that under Obama and Biden that they actually engaged in.
(25:46):
So the guy that's best known for telling lies to
suppress the Hunter Biden laptop, which would have spared us
from all the disastrous Biden presidency, probably if not for
the dogged efforts of Democrats like him in the establishment,
in big tech, in the deep state, in the cabal.
He's just telling the truth about himself but trying to
(26:10):
somehow shift it over to Trump. He is so overtly
political that he encourages the Swamps Intelligence Apparatus to investigate
racist nativeness and even libertarians on the call.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I was thinking today that this is the most relaxed
I've been in the course of many inaugurations I've watched.
Because I'm not responsible for it, I can tell you
that when I was in the government, i was I
had white knuckles because of the nature of the sets.
But it's so much more difficult today because of what
we have seen, not just over the last two weeks,
but that certainly has riveted our attention, but because.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Of this question. Now that's from reference to January sixth.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Growth in polarization in the United States and domestic violence
in white supremacist groups. So I know looking forward that
the members of the Biden team who have been dominated
or have been appointed are now moving in laser like
fashion to try to uncover as much as they can
about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've
(27:10):
seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the
country and they gain strength, and it brings together an
unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists, So authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Wow, that's quite a list, mister Brennan. That's quite a.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
List, nativists, even libertarians, And unfortunately, I think there has
been this momentum that has been generated as a result
of unfortunately the demagogic.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Rhetoric of people that's just the part.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Of government, but also those who continue in the halls
of Congress. And so I really do think that the
law enforcement, homeland security, and intelligence, and even the defense
officials are doing everything possible to root out what seems
to be a very very serious and insidious threat to
our democracy and.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
Our I want to read you a little bit of house.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
No that's enough. So there you are, John Brennan. Just
hours before the inauguration of Joe Biden back in twenty
twenty one, talking about how you know, we got to
get rid of all these people and what do they do?
They immediately started on January twentieth through twenty twenty one
to weaponize and go after Trump, Libertarians, Catholics, school parents, everybody.
(28:29):
And then he dares to lecture us about weaponization. Cash
Betel Dan Bongino, get those files as quickly as you can.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Who still pays for a bag?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
I don't why you criminal heathen? Unbelievable. Some people have
no respect for the law. I find it so offensive.
I had an email last night from someone in the
building that handles the well call our traffic. It's not
the automobile traffic, it's the traffic of BT goes on
(29:05):
during a program. Wanted to know if I was going
to or not me, but there's a group message. Needed
to know if we were going to be here on
June nineteenth, all right. I didn't didn't even say nineteen.
They just said are you going to be here the nineteenth?
And I thought, what's what's what? Day's the nineteenth? What's
(29:28):
that about? And I couldn't figure it out, and so
I opened my calendar and looked and it had just
nothing unusual. It just said, oh, as a holiday, it's
June teenth, And I thought, oh, yeah, why And then
I realized, oh, iheart's made that a company holiday. Well,
(29:50):
I planned to be here on the nineteenth. It's Thursday,
I think, and I'm not going to take a day
off in the middle of the week. But then they
got me to think, yeah, well, you used to have
Columbus Day, and you've got Juneteenth. And this is Sinko
to juno as opposed to Sinko demayo. You've got a
(30:12):
Black History Month, you got Pride Month, you got all
these months, and there's no there's no month for you know,
just just a dumb white guy. Right where do I
get my month?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Vickers with hurtful messages posted around downtown Mount Clements.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
They're calling it harassing hate speech and say it won't
be tolerated.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
As the Sheriff's office launches an investigation.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Tonight's seven is de trite.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Reporter Christiana Ford is raising the voices of business owners
and the city's leader.
Speaker 10 (30:44):
You can see remnants of the stickers posted here in
a popular downtown alley way. It's language and messaging that's
not being tolerated by the community.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
You see like bands or you know, different brands.
Speaker 10 (30:57):
The Alleyway downtown Mount Clements is a popular spot for stickers,
but not this kind.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
And I came this way and there's a big sticker
right here.
Speaker 10 (31:06):
Marcel Johnson first noticing these black and white stickers with
QR codes.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
White Lives Matter, Yeah, white lives matter.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
Voting, White lives Matter, and straight pride on wik Uh.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
Oh, we can't do that. We can't have white people,
we can't have Caucasians, and we can't have straight people. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
Today and then again Friday morning.
Speaker 8 (31:33):
But I think it was just a high traffic area
that they wanted to target.
Speaker 5 (31:36):
So he tore them all down, hoping that would be
the end of it.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
So he tore them all down, Yeah, no big deal.
What if it had been a Black Lives Matter poster
and somebody had torn that down.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
As he was talking to us, we found even more.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Yeah, me and the police us walk through here.
Speaker 4 (32:00):
There's no way somebody came back into that and makes
me more angry than anything.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
I'll take a butter feeder.
Speaker 10 (32:07):
Marcel and his wife Taylor opened up shop here downtown
Mount Clemmons.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Because of the inclusive and diverse community.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
It's inclusive, diverse, and we will celebrate that inclusivity and diversity,
unless you are not of one of the preferred groups
that are in the inclusive and diverse community
Rannie, all this talk about communism in North Korea.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Well, hell, I'm driving through Chicago right now.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Too much different. Oh, don't tell him, I forgot to
put my gun in the lock box, Ey comrades.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Well, he's love hearing from our crazy ass truck drivers.
Oh my gosh, talk about China for a little bit.
The headlines that are up on the monitors right now
say that either Trump and She are having their phone
(00:38):
call right now, or they've had their phone call this morning.
Either way probably was pretty interesting. As I indicated yesterday
or day before. I don't know that Shi jing Ping
is really in power. Oh he's still the chairman and
(00:59):
the titular head of the Chinese Communist Party, but the
Chinese economy, the military is all in disarray. Over at
Fox News, Maria Barbiromo is talking to Congressman Brett Guthrie,
(01:20):
And this is the kind of stuff that you hear
that I think needs a little perspective.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I'm wondering, you know, about China and whether or not
the president needs to get tougher on travel to and
from China. I'm given the fact that a Chinese researchers
had this plot to smuggle a crop killing fungus into America.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
The FBI says, this is.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
You're aware of that story, right, that the boyfriend of
some Chinese national in this country is caught trying to
bring some sort of fungus, some really deadly fungalist fungus
that's considered an agro terrorist form of fun fun John
that could really destroy, you know, our entire crop system
(02:05):
because he wanted to conduct experiments like I don't know,
gain of function experiments or something tel like it was
done in Wuhan.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
Incredibly serious.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
How do you see it?
Speaker 6 (02:16):
I see the same thing. I think we have to
look at how we how we deal with China and
everything that we do.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
We're looking at.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
AI in our committee and how China's trying to dominate
AI in the world. And I think China is our
number one focus that we have to have, and so
I strongly support anything we can do to ban that
type of thing from China.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well, I mean, look, the list is growing here. You've
got a surveillance balloon a couple of years ago, a
surveilling American citizens, You've got intellectual property, theft, COVID fent
and all, and now an ad RO terrorist product.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Well, just think, just think if that country that you
just described who's done all of that dominates the world
platform for AI. That is actually what our committee has
been focused. Other than the one big beautiful bill, the
other big focus on our committee is how do we
unleash American AI? And the biggest issue that you talk
to people in the AI community, they say, we have
the brain power, we have the capital. Our biggest concern
(03:09):
are we're gonna have access to energy.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And we talked about that yesterday about how like Constellation
Energy in Illinois is spend their nuclear programs so that
they can provide consistent, reliable energy, cheap, abundant energy.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
And we're going to have access to a regulatory system
that allows us to compete and allows us to win.
And it absolutely is a geopolitical issue. I don't think
I'm too shrin out went to West Points in the
nineteen eighties. I don't think it's equivalent to win the
Soviet Union in the battle for Western Europe in the
Cold War. That's where we are with China now, and
(03:46):
we need to take it that serious.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Now only do we need to take it that seriously,
but we reco we should recognize that right now might
be a good time to do things like impose the tariffs,
really push Shiji against the wall. You've heard me talk
about Gregory Kopley before. He's the president of the International
Strategic Studies Association. He edits a journal that I subscribed
(04:13):
to called the Defense and Foreign Affairs Strategic Policy Journal.
You can go to the website, but you can't access
the articles because it's all behind a paywall. But he's
written quite a bit about Shijingping's power dynamics within the
Chinese Communist Party, and based on his writings and some
(04:35):
other resources, particularly, he's got commentary in the Epoch Times
back a couple of years ago. Here's kind of where
he stands or describes the whole situation. He argues that
Shei jing Ping has and continues to try to centralize
power by kind of taking China back to a How's
(05:00):
he'd done style governance model, which does what well that
emphasizes state control over virtually all aspects of Chinese life
and demands ideological purity. He's done things like suppressing some
of the Chinese tech giants Ali Baba Tenson and others.
(05:23):
All of that signals a shift away from what was
originally kind of a move toward privatization, and he wants
to move away from privatization in order to curb any
potential political deviation and of course to reinforce the Chinese
companiest Party's dominance. That move alone, and he's kind of
(05:47):
accomplished that, except I think he's overreached. That's seen as
she's bid to a mass personal power typical communist. It's
in him case, it's The Chinese Communist Party is simply
the mechanism by which Hi Jin Ping amasses personal power,
(06:10):
positions himself as a near absolute leader akin to mal
and then starts cracking down on private enterprise, reinforcing his
his singular dictatorship. The party simply becomes the apparatus by
which he enforces his own personal desires about how he
(06:34):
wants the country governed and the economy to operate. He
wants to eliminate all economic and political rivals and ensure
loyalty within the Chinese Communist Party to him and him alone.
Communists are just bizarre. Well, Kopany goes on to suggest
that She's policies are actually starting to create tensions within
(06:58):
the Chinese Communist and that could potentially lead to a
civil war over the party's future direction their meeting I
think I think their next polinary meeting is it may
be this August, so just a couple of months away.
I don't know whether it's being held in Beijing or what.
It's unimportant, but we may know by August whether or
(07:24):
not what Trump's been doing. Don't get me wrong, It's
not just Trump, but what Trump's doing in terms of
the tariffs, kind of drawing a red line about helping
the Russians, you know, stealing our ip. All of that
plus Si Gene Ping's overreach within the CCP could lead
(07:49):
to this civil war over the future of the party
because not all members of the Chinese Communist Party support
She's returned to these Alice principles because some actually favor
the economic openness of the Dungjow Peeing era, and that
factualism could challenge She's gripple his power and his gripp
(08:13):
on the party, and Coping in several of his articles,
highlights that she's aggressive anti corruption campaigns and the purchase
that he's actually been engaging in, while framed his reform
are actually tools to eliminate his rivals and consolidate his
control but doing so risks alienating, alienating key party members,
(08:41):
that sows seeds of descent, and that creates within the
party itself kind of this division that could collapse on him.
Dictators eventually fail, people rise up, or those around start
or her start to realize, wait a minute, you're not
(09:04):
operating as a party, You're operating as an individual. As
far back as twenty twenty two, Copley is quoted as
saying that she Geneping faces an enormous array of domestic enemies,
the party elites, regional leaders, economic stakeholders like the tech
(09:25):
companies who may oppose his central centralizing and centralization of
all policies, not within the Communist POLP bureau, not within
just the leaders of the party, but within himself. So
his power, while clearly formidable, is not unassailable because of
(09:46):
these internal pressures. And then you have all the economic challenges.
Do you realize there are resource shortages water, food, and energy,
and there is a complete reliance and I mean almost
totally complete reliance on global supply chains, while doing that
complicates She's ability to remain in absolute control. In twenty
(10:12):
twenty three, Copeley did an analysis for TV, a news
site and that interview connects she's power status to his
Taiwan policy. At the Apex Summit, she gave mixed signals.
He denied imminent invasion plans while at the same time
(10:33):
reserving the option of force, and Copley interpreted that as
a face saving exercise because he believes that she's military
and the economic and the economic conditions constrain and limit
his ability to act decisively, all of which potentially weakens
his image as an unchallengeable leader. That's something they can't stand. Now,
(10:58):
let's just for a second go over to Russia. Everybody
focuses on the Ukrainians destroying thirty or forty percent whatever
the number was of Russia's strategic bombers, and of course
the blowing up the bridge. That's not the focus. The
(11:18):
focus ought to be on Putin and the effect that
has on Putin's regime. Now, of course he'll lash out,
but why does he lash out? Because of paranoia. All
these tyrants are paranoid, and in this case, Putin has
to be wondering did somebody help? Were there people within
(11:43):
my own inner circle that knew about it? Because not
everybody within the inner circle necessarily agrees with the continuation
of the killing of now in excess of nine hundred
thousand Russian youths. Same things happening in China, that's going
on in Russia. These two dictators are, because of their overreach,
(12:07):
are facing really serious threats to their power. I would
give this diskount of critical assessment company's perspective. I really
admires I do admire his perspective. He portrays Gigi Ping
as a leader who has significantly consolidated his power, but
(12:29):
in doing so, he's created these internal vulnerabilities and then
his maliced beliefs, his malice tilt. While it does strengthen
his control over the Chinese Communist Party and the ideological
on the political machinery, at the same time it alienates
those factions that benefited benefited from Dunchowping's reforms. Now you've
(12:53):
got the absence of a clear successor, combined with all
this economic and military limitations. That's yes, that She's power
is not absolute. Now. Copley does actually use the term
civil war potential civil war. Now, I think that might
overstate the likelihood of an overt conflict because the Chinese
(13:15):
Communist Party structure prioritizes stability and it suppresses open descent.
So it's unclear if his views have evolved in light
as she's continued tenure and the twentieth Party Congress where
she secured a norm breaking third term. So as I
dig around trying to find it, I discover that this
(13:41):
if jene Pen has already lost power, why could he
still visit Russia and meet with the bell Arbushi him
President Lukashinko. It's a good question, and we've seen something before.
Let's go to Inconvenient Truths, which is a an account
(14:07):
Inconvenient truth by Jennifer. She is a staunch anti communist,
but she really has insider knowledge about what's going on
inside the regime. She says.
Speaker 7 (14:20):
In our last episode, we talked about she impossibly losing power,
and we were asked, if he's already lost power, why
could he still visit Russia. That's a great question. Today
we'll see if we can find some insights by looking
at the history of three top party leaders who were removed.
(14:46):
Let's look at the well often Mausodon's successor his removal
took three years to finish.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
After Maul died.
Speaker 7 (14:58):
He left a note saying, with you in charge at
East this was used to handle power to huag Wofen.
This is a very famous propaganda painting in China in
the late nineteen seventies, titled with You in Charge, I
Am at East. It showed a male passing power to
(15:21):
huag Wofen. In reality, this thing was made up October sixth,
nineteen seventy six, less than a month after Mao's deaths
quag Wofen worked with other top party officials to arras
the so called Gun of Four, including Mauth's widow jun
(15:43):
Jim l Night. He became the party's top leader and
in the ten year Cultural Revolution. However, as Mau's successor,
he put forward the two whatever slogan, whatever decision in
Chairman Moll made, we were firmly uphold. Whatever instructions Chairman
(16:05):
Maud gave, we were always followed. But at that time
China's economy was on the break of collapse. The so
called reformers, led by them Shaping, published the article in
Gaming Daily on May eleventh, nineteen seventy eight, titled practice
(16:26):
is the only standard to taste truth. This sparked a
nationwide debate on the standard of truth, which was the
start of rejecting quagom to Whatevers. In December that year,
at the third Paninaization of the eleventh Central Committee, the
(16:47):
party criticized the two whatevers, and then in September nineteen
eighty Quago often resigned as Premier of the State Council
due to the too whatever issue. The next year he
resigned as Chairman of the Central Committee and the chairman
of the Military Commission. So it took three years for
(17:12):
Juago to fully exit China's political stage.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
There you have it, an example that may be exactly
history repeating itself again. So Trump needs to keep maximus
pressure on China. We need to recognize that that's the
only way that we can help those I mean, they're
not gonna change our communist ways. That maybe change leadership.
(17:39):
Cream now Dul Jabbar Cream. Jean Pierre has written a book.
I'm not gonna buy the book. I know I could
do the same thing I did with Jake Tapper's book.
I could go to Barnes and Noble and be very
careful with it and read it and then return it
with the receipt and get my money back. So Jake
ta I get the benefit of reading the book. Jake
Tapper did not get my money. But I have no
(18:01):
interest in Kreeen albul Jabbar, who spent a couple of
at least a couple of years, maybe two and a
half years, whatever, it was, peddling misinformation to me. Remember
how much fun we had with her. You know, I
don't know the answer to that. I don't know. I
don't know, I don't know. Well, that's not true. That's
(18:22):
not true. That's not true. In case you forgot, the
woman who wrote a book and left the Democrat Party
because of misinformation used to talk like this.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
The president had the stamina physically and mentally. Do you
think to continue on even after twenty twenty four done?
Speaker 8 (18:44):
You're asking me this question.
Speaker 5 (18:45):
Oh my gosh, he's the president of the United States.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
You know he I can't even keep up with it.
Speaker 8 (18:51):
We just got back from New Mexico. We just got
back from California. That is, that is not a question
that we should be even asking that.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
Jackie, are you here?
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Where's Jackie?
Speaker 3 (19:03):
She must not be here, can't.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
I totally understand? I just explained she was on top
of mind.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
The book is suggesting the president tells Age he's.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Tired, But that's in the extra thing.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
Yeah, and that that's why they're being say a few
public events.
Speaker 9 (19:16):
Before ten I mean, that's a ridiculous assumption to me, President.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I find that one particularly funny because that's an issue
that's addressed directly in Jake Tapper and Alex Johnson's book
that indeed the staff did say no events before ten am.
Remember how Dragon and I Dragon was always going on
to the White House schedule. Yep, he's got an event
at eleven forty five, lunch twelve fifteen, and then he's
done by three o'clock. Remember doctor Jill telling us how
(19:44):
we least ate up all night long reading his books.
Bull crap is.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
The oldest president in US history. Why is White House
staff treat him like a baby.
Speaker 9 (19:54):
No one treats the President of the United States, the
commander in chief, like a baby.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
There's both, It says, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
Particulous claim.
Speaker 9 (20:01):
I would put the president's DaMina, the president's wisdom ability
to get this done on behalf of the American people
against anyone.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I was President Biden ever, going to convince the three
quarters of voters we're worried about his physical and mental
health that he is okay, even though in Las Vegas.
He told story about recently talking to a French president
who died in nineteen ninety six.
Speaker 9 (20:25):
I'm not even going to go down that rabbit.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
Hole with you, sir Nutty Well, I dare you bring
up the fact that he said something that's actually incorrect.
I'm not going to go down the rabbit hole.
Speaker 9 (20:35):
Comments were made in that report about that about obviously
about his memory that we don't believe lives in reality.
I think you all have called this the cheap fakes video,
and that's exactly what they are. They are cheap fakes video.
They are done in bad face and in some of
your news organization have been very clear, have stressed that
(20:56):
these right wing, the right wing critics of the president
have a credibility problem.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Has anybody asked her about the book about Tapper and
Alex book Original Sin, They actually say that you were
lying and that you knew better when you were saying
these things. Is anybody in the cable as she goes
on her book tour, you know, she makes the circuit,
(21:24):
is anybody going to ask her about that?
Speaker 9 (21:26):
I think there is so much misinformation disinformation as we've
been talking about. You talked about the video the president
wandering and it's not true, right, the President wasn't wandering,
and so.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
We believe we have to call that out.
Speaker 5 (21:38):
We've been calling a chief fakes.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
That is something that came from directly from the media outlets.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Is anyone in the White House hiding information about the
president's health or his ability to do the job? Data?
Speaker 7 (21:51):
Absolutely not.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
The other thing is interesting about that, that's Kelly what's
your name? From NBC News? Is there anybody in the
White House that is hiding anything about the president or
his health or his ability to do the job. And
our answer, of course is no. You are the purpose
that question. Do you think that Kelly uh can't remember name?
(22:15):
Do you really think she expected an honest answer, or
do you think the question was posed to simply get
on the record that hey, we were asking any question.
We asked the question, no follow on, no follow up question,
no follow up whatsoever. Let's just go.
Speaker 7 (22:35):
Back and his health or his ability to do the job.
David absolutely unc Why do we have released?
Speaker 9 (22:41):
Has been very comprehensive, It has been it has been transparent.
With age comes wisdom and comes experience, and.
Speaker 1 (22:48):
I think that matters as well.
Speaker 5 (22:50):
He is as sharp as as ever as I have.
Speaker 9 (22:53):
Known him to be in my engagement, in my experience
with him, and I know when I walk into the
Oval office or or see him on Air Force one,
I have to be on top of my game.
Speaker 3 (23:04):
That's kind of a low bar, isn't it to be
on top of her game? Well, this deep state hypocrisy
is incarnate. Since maybe we ought to have a good laugh,
let's watch John Brennan, former CIA director, who is really
the personification of the deep state, fret at the CIA
(23:29):
and the FBI won't be a political under Trump, so
spewing cartoonish left wing propaganda because we know that the
CI and the FBI were anything but a political under
Biden Man. They just take us for idiots.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
His agencies, whether it be the FBI or CIA or others,
they attract individuals who really want to do right by
their fellow citizens and to tackle those tough issues, whether
it be terrorism or whether it be foreign espionage activities
here in the States. They're principled individuals who really believe
in the integrity that is necessary in order to conduct
(24:11):
these investigations again in an a political, non partisan way.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Hmm, you mean, like you and those fifty other people,
the fifty one intelligence officials that signed the letter that said, oh,
the hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation? Is that the
kind of person you're talking about, mister Brennan. These people
know zero bounds of hypocrisy, They have no self awareness whatsoever.
(24:39):
They're willing to just lie.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
And why not.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
The cabal will just cover up for them.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
But if this new regime now is putting in place
sort of this test of loyalty to the Trump administration again,
that is just that's so similar to the totalitarian regimes
that I've saw overseas so many for so many years,
in terms of making sure that the security services are
doing the bidding of the political leaders are not really
(25:09):
carrying out their obligations and responsibilities to the citizenry, to
the country, to their constitutions. And that's why I think
that the FBI, I think, is going to have a
tough time attracting individuals that have that type of principled
approach to government service agency.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
You know.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
But if I'm most fascinating about that particular short SoundBite
is psychologically, what's he doing. He's talking about himself, He's
talking about the Biden regime, he's talking about all the
things that under Obama and Biden that they actually engaged in.
(25:46):
So the guy that's best known for telling lies to
suppress the Hunter Biden laptop, which would have spared us
from all the disastrous Biden presidency, probably if not for
the dogged efforts of Democrats like him in the establishment,
in big tech, in the deep state, in the cabal.
He's just telling the truth about himself but trying to
(26:10):
somehow shift it over to Trump. He is so overtly
political that he encourages the Swamps Intelligence Apparatus to investigate
racist nativeness and even libertarians on the call.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I was thinking today that this is the most relaxed
I've been in the course of many inaugurations I've watched.
Because I'm not responsible for it, I can tell you
that when I was in the government, i was I
had white knuckles because of the nature of the sets.
But it's so much more difficult today because of what
we have seen, not just over the last two weeks,
but that certainly has riveted our attention, but because.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Of this question. Now that's from reference to January sixth.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Growth in polarization in the United States and domestic violence
in white supremacist groups. So I know looking forward that
the members of the Biden team who have been dominated
or have been appointed are now moving in laser like
fashion to try to uncover as much as they can
about what looks very similar to insurgency movements that we've
(27:10):
seen overseas, where they germinate in different parts of the
country and they gain strength, and it brings together an
unholy alliance frequently of religious extremists, So authoritarians, fascists, bigots, racists.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Wow, that's quite a list, mister Brennan. That's quite a.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
List, nativists, even libertarians, And unfortunately, I think there has
been this momentum that has been generated as a result
of unfortunately the demagogic.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Rhetoric of people that's just the part.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Of government, but also those who continue in the halls
of Congress. And so I really do think that the
law enforcement, homeland security, and intelligence, and even the defense
officials are doing everything possible to root out what seems
to be a very very serious and insidious threat to
our democracy and.
Speaker 9 (27:59):
Our I want to read you a little bit of house.
Speaker 3 (28:03):
No that's enough. So there you are, John Brennan. Just
hours before the inauguration of Joe Biden back in twenty
twenty one, talking about how you know, we got to
get rid of all these people and what do they do?
They immediately started on January twentieth through twenty twenty one
to weaponize and go after Trump, Libertarians, Catholics, school parents, everybody.
(28:29):
And then he dares to lecture us about weaponization. Cash
Betel Dan Bongino, get those files as quickly as you can.
Speaker 5 (28:39):
Who still pays for a bag?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
I don't why you criminal heathen? Unbelievable. Some people have
no respect for the law. I find it so offensive.
I had an email last night from someone in the
building that handles the well call our traffic. It's not
the automobile traffic, it's the traffic of BT goes on
(29:05):
during a program. Wanted to know if I was going
to or not me, but there's a group message. Needed
to know if we were going to be here on
June nineteenth, all right. I didn't didn't even say nineteen.
They just said are you going to be here the nineteenth?
And I thought, what's what's what? Day's the nineteenth? What's
(29:28):
that about? And I couldn't figure it out, and so
I opened my calendar and looked and it had just
nothing unusual. It just said, oh, as a holiday, it's
June teenth, And I thought, oh, yeah, why And then
I realized, oh, iheart's made that a company holiday. Well,
(29:50):
I planned to be here on the nineteenth. It's Thursday,
I think, and I'm not going to take a day
off in the middle of the week. But then they
got me to think, yeah, well, you used to have
Columbus Day, and you've got Juneteenth. And this is Sinko
to juno as opposed to Sinko demayo. You've got a
(30:12):
Black History Month, you got Pride Month, you got all
these months, and there's no there's no month for you know,
just just a dumb white guy. Right where do I
get my month?
Speaker 4 (30:26):
Vickers with hurtful messages posted around downtown Mount Clements.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
They're calling it harassing hate speech and say it won't
be tolerated.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
As the Sheriff's office launches an investigation.
Speaker 5 (30:37):
Tonight's seven is de trite.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
Reporter Christiana Ford is raising the voices of business owners
and the city's leader.
Speaker 10 (30:44):
You can see remnants of the stickers posted here in
a popular downtown alley way. It's language and messaging that's
not being tolerated by the community.
Speaker 5 (30:54):
