Hearts of Oak:
And hello, Heart of Oak Thanks so much for joining us once again. (00:23):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Xi, it's wonderful to have my friend from across the pond, (00:26):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Xi Van Fleet, with us today. Xi, thanks so much for your time. (00:30):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Well, thank you for inviting me back to your programme. (00:34):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And thank you for that special tour to the Parliament last year when I visited (00:37):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
London. That was so special. Thank you so much. (00:42):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
It was good fun. Anytime. Next time you're over, come over again. (00:45):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And whenever you save America, come back to the UK and maybe you can do some (00:49):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
saving over in the UK because we need it. (00:54):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
But don't you and people obviously can find you. (00:58):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
There is your handle, xfanfleet on X. (01:02):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I think that is the best place to follow you. But maybe if I can just bring (01:07):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
up, before we jump into the cultural issues, some of the concerns of the CCP (01:12):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
and what is happening in the US, a lot happening, of course. (01:18):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
But I'll just bring this picture up, which is you on the 4th of July. (01:22):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I know it's back a whole two weeks ago, but as I stand in front of the White (01:26):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
House on our nation's birthday, I am not just celebrating Independence Day. (01:30):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I'm celebrating the rebirth of America with the passing of the big, (01:34):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
beautiful bill. America isn't just back. America is roaring back. (01:37):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And I'm jealous. I would have loved to have been in front of the White House on the 4th of July. (01:42):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Maybe just let us know what that was like before we go into the issues. (01:48):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Well, I just want to really, really celebrate. (01:54):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And I have to be in D.C. Even though usually going to D.C. (01:58):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Is hectic, you know, but I made a special trip there. and I was able to take (02:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
a photo of myself in front of the White House and then watched the parade. (02:09):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I never feel so special and so emotional about the celebration of 4th of July. (02:15):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
In the past, it's just a holiday, a day off. I'm thinking about gathering with (02:23):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
friends or taking a trip. (02:29):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And in the past few years, I just feel very, very emotional about 4th of July (02:31):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
because I feel like our independence is slipping away from us. (02:37):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And this year is so special, so special because we are back. (02:42):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And not just back, we are back with this big, beautiful bill that enables Trump (02:48):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
to carry on all those programs that will help to save America. (02:56):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But I did not stay until in the afternoon to see the jet flight over White House. (03:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It was hot, but I made my trip and I'm glad I've had that post and a lot of likes. (03:10):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And just people share my emotions, share the moment that's so special, (03:15):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
growing more special to us. (03:22):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
It is great to be there and to celebrate that. Yeah. (03:26):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Now, lots to talk. And of course, you've got your book coming out, a new book next year. (03:30):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I think the first time you were on, we talked about Mao's America, (03:37):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
A Survivor's Warning. And the links are in the description. (03:41):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I thoroughly enjoyed it and encourage the viewers to get hold of that in whatever way. (03:45):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And beginning of next year, your book Made in America, a hidden history of how (03:52):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
the US enabled communist China and created our greatest threat. (03:57):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And I will definitely book you in again, Ji, if we don't talk before. (04:00):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I will make sure and have you on to talk about that. (04:04):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And I'm looking forward to that. Thank you. (04:07):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Thank you. (04:09):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Let me touch on the CCP and then we'll go over onto some of the cultural issues. (04:10):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And one of your recent posts was the CCP is the world's biggest land thief and (04:17):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
the sole owner of all the land that confiscated in China, including my grandparents. (04:23):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Not one inch of American soil should be handed to the CCP. (04:28):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And this kind of fits into, I saw pictures of you there at the press conference (04:33):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
for the, it was the National Farm Security Action Plan that was on the 8th of July. (04:38):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Tell us a little bit about that, because again, you growing up knowing the power (04:45):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
of the state to take control, to confiscate, that you have no right as an individual. (04:51):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
So let us know your concerns about Chinese or CCP land grab and what the Trump (04:57):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
administration has done maybe to put a pause on that. (05:04):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yeah, this is something I feel really strong about, that the activists here, (05:07):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
they're talking about stolen land. (05:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They have no clue that CCP is the biggest land thief in history and grabbed (05:14):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
all the land from individual owners, from private owners, The land were not just there. (05:22):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They were owned by different people, including my grandparents. (05:28):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They own, like, I don't know, like in terms of acres, probably 25, 50 acres. (05:33):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And they, because my grandparents, (05:41):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
grandfather left my grandmother. That's her land from her family. (05:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So she has to hire people to work on the land. And then because of that, (05:52):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
she become labeled as a landlord and an enemy of the state. (05:56):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Everything was taken. Not only that, that was just, you know, (06:01):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
bad enough. No, you suffer because you become the enemy of the state. (06:04):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And her children and her grandchildren, including me, were labeled the enemy of the state. (06:09):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And that is the history that American youths don't know. (06:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And then something else is that you cannot buy an inch of land, (06:20):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
nobody, not Chinese, not foreigners from the CCP, because they are the sole (06:24):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
owner of every inch of Chinese territory. (06:31):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But they go around buying land in the United States and all around the world. (06:34):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And one of the things is that they can't feed their people. (06:39):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Even today, they cannot feed their people. (06:43):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And recently I heard things like, I'm from Chengdu. (06:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's in a very fertile land in the basin of Sichuan Basin. (06:53):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And they converted so much of the fertile land into cities. (06:58):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And they can't feed the people. So recently I heard stories like now they're (07:03):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
converting parks back to farmland. (07:09):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So they're out grabbing land because they realize they can't feed the people. (07:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But that's more than that. It's not just farmland. (07:17):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And when you look at the location in America, the farmland all happened to be (07:20):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
near military base. So it's more than just grabbing farmland. (07:26):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It is strategic. And my question is, why that is allowed? (07:31):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So that basically is my second book. You can say that, you know, CCP was bad. (07:39):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It came here by our land. But the CCP, CCP is a communist. (07:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Okay, why it's allowed? That is the bigger question. (07:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's allowed because we have traders within. (07:53):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So I'm so glad that Trump administration is taking action. (07:57):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
That's why I went there to the press conference in D.C., sat in the hot sun (08:01):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
for two hours. But I think it's important. (08:10):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And also something else I have to tell you that the CCP, they utilize the Chinese (08:13):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
diaspora to implement their programs. (08:21):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
There's a lot of Chinese organizations being infiltrated, not a lot, (08:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
many, I mean, 99% of them were infiltrated. Some were successfully infiltrated, (08:29):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
some were not, but they have been infiltrated. (08:36):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
There are always, always Chinese Americans go and have demonstrations, (08:39):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
anything that the government, especially in the state of Florida, (08:45):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
they passed a bill to ban Chinese nationals by land in Florida. (08:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They went and they have demonstrations and do you know what the narrative they use? (08:56):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Racism, racism, you know. (09:04):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So this is really, to me, this tells a lot of things. (09:08):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Tells that we have people in America that don't understand America, (09:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
that don't understand communism, and they just absolutely have no idea, (09:17):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
or they support communism. (09:22):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And then we have heavy infiltration of CCP in America, including American Chinese. (09:24):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
A lot of them have no clue. (09:33):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They just go there. They say, stop Asian hate, stop racism. (09:34):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And they bring back the 1860 Chinese Exclusion Act just to say they're there (09:40):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
to defend their civil rights. (09:50):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And they are just actually useful idiots. And some of them probably get paid. (09:52):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
How do you think, because I saw that Senator Josh Howley, he also brought in (09:58):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
a bill that would block China's buy-up of U.S. farmland. (10:04):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And the title was, yeah, Howley Moves to Block China's Buy-up of U.S. (10:08):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Farmland as Trump Administration Sounds Alarm. (10:13):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
The legislation would force CCP-affiliated owners to divest farmland within (10:15):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
one year. But it's another example of President Trump highlighting an issue (10:21):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
that no one else has really highlighted. (10:27):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
This has happened secretly, quietly, and President Trump puts his finger on (10:30):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
it and within months is stopping that happening and beginning to ask questions. (10:34):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And maybe this wasn't on the list of issues which he campaigned on, (10:40):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
but it certainly does seem to be a concern with China being the second largest economy in the world. (10:46):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Therefore, you should ask questions why they're buying up farmland. (10:53):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
But again, no one was asking these questions before, I don't think. (10:57):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
No, this is something that I feel really, really great about, (11:01):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
is that President Trump, I think he does understand communism. (11:06):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
He does understand the threat of communism, especially Chinese communism, (11:11):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
and communism in America. (11:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And a lot of the things he does from the surface look like it's just creating (11:19):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
chaos. But a lot of the things, if you look deeper, it's targeted on communism, both at home and abroad. (11:24):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
There's another area, and I know it's not necessarily your main issue, (11:34):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
but it kind of caught my eye. (11:40):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I just want your thoughts. And that's about China using their economic power to buy up. (11:41):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
We've seen in the U.S. buying up farmland, but also Africa. And I think I saw (11:48):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
in a conference sometime near the end of last year that China were putting in (11:53):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
like $50 billion of loans. (11:59):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And the term that really caught my eye was debt trap diplomacy. (12:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Absolutely. (12:08):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And that is giving African countries money, but then knowing they will default (12:09):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
on it and thereby getting control of infrastructure. And it was just that debt trap diplomacy. (12:17):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I mean, the CCP are smart in how they use the finance that they have available, (12:24):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
which is all based on debt, of course. (12:30):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
But no, it seems as though they are kind of colonially taking over large parts of Africa. (12:31):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yes, this is something, again, there are just so many things that average Americans (12:39):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
just don't or not aware of or just don't know because the media was controlled by communists. (12:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
The educational institution controlled by communists, they don't know. (12:54):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Do you know why Nixon decided to go to China and ally with the Chinese Communist (12:58):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Party against the Soviet Union? One of the reasoning is that, okay, both are bad. (13:06):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
At least now they're at each other's throat. (13:13):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Soviet Union was bad because it is expansionist. (13:17):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
At least Chinese Communist Party, they were not expansionist. (13:21):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
That was their reasoning. (13:26):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They thought that Chinese Communist Party was just local. They're just only (13:28):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
interested and probably get some help to improve their regime. (13:34):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They're so wrong because they don't understand communism. (13:40):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Communism is globalism. It is in the DNA. (13:43):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And as soon as the Russian communists took over power, they started the Communist (13:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
International Commuter. (13:57):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They had no money. They are in the civil war, but they found resources to expand. (13:59):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And one of their main target was China back in the early 1920s. (14:08):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It is in the DNA of communism. (14:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So China could not expand that much, even though that's not true. (14:21):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Because during the famine in China, when Chinese were dying and starving, Mao used grain. (14:26):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
He had no other things to offer to buy off the African elites. (14:36):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Because he wants to be the leader of the third world. (14:42):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So this has been going on. But now, with more money and power, (14:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
of course they're going to expand. Where are they going to expand? (14:52):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They're going to expand first to the poor countries by buying the elite. (14:56):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
All those infrastructure programs, did they need it? (15:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Well, they buy off the elite, and then they push it and put them into debt. (15:06):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
That one of the examples is the port in Sri Lanka, right? (15:10):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Now the Chinese have a lease, over a hundred-year lease of their, I think it's a harbor. (15:15):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
That sounds like Hong Kong, isn't it? (15:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's colonialism. That is what people don't understand. It's in the DNA. (15:30):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And just not too long ago, I think Peter Thiel talked about, (15:36):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
okay, we should get out of China, we should invest in Vietnam. (15:41):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Because Vietnam, communists, at least they are not expansionists. (15:47):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Another mistake. (15:52):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They are not yet. But as long as they are communists, when they get the chance, they will expand. (15:54):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So, I think that the reason that we are in the trouble today is we never understand communism. (16:01):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I don't know. So, it is natural progression. (16:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And where do the Chinese Communist Party get the money? (16:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They got the money from the international organizations such as World Bank, (16:20):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
international monetary fund with the interest so low because they still label (16:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
themselves, they self-identify, they self-identify themselves third world. (16:32):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So they get the loan, they turn around, and then they use the loan to expand (16:38):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
and put all the poor African countries under their control. (16:45):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It is unbelievable. They use capitalism against capitalism, and they use freedom against freedom. (16:51):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Oh, they do. (17:00):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And we'll see how that progresses over the Trump administration with China being (17:00):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
the second largest economy. (17:05):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I know. And how that works. But there was a post you put up, (17:06):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Xi, and it made me delve into something. And it was about kind of China and tech. (17:10):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And it was, someone was doing an interview looking at WeChat, (17:17):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
which is the social media company, a bit maybe like Snapchat or WhatsApp. (17:21):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And you had made a comment about it whenever you got your X account hacked, (17:27):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
you deleted everything and you reset your phone and WeChat being used to monitor people. (17:33):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And then I delved a little bit into it and the holding company of WeChat is Tencent Holdings. (17:40):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Again, I'd never heard of that. I'm sure 90-odd percent of our viewers had never (17:49):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
heard of it. But it's the highest grossing multimedia company in the world based on revenue. (17:53):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And its total assets are $222 billion. (18:00):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And its annual revenue is $86 billion. (18:06):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And it's an AI, commerce, social media, music, gaming, healthcare. (18:10):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I mean, Fortnite, a game that many kids play, Epic Games. This company, (18:15):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Tencent, owns 40% of that. (18:20):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And you kind of think, wow, that's the economic side, but it's also the tech side. (18:23):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And I think that was what you were concerned about, how the CCP monitor and (18:29):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
control people through tech. (18:35):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
So, I mean, let us know your thoughts on that and your concerns. (18:36):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yes, I think before, of course, it's total control. When I was in China, (18:40):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
it's physical control, right? (18:44):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They control the media, they control the educational system. (18:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So they say capitalism was evil. (18:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
People in America suffered. I believe it because I don't have any, (18:53):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I did not have any other resources to prove or disprove. I just believe it. (18:57):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's a physical control, the control where you can live, how much you can make, (19:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
how much food you can have. But now it's better. (19:06):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It is digital control. So it's digital totalitarianism. (19:10):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And so that is why they will bring in capitalism, investment, (19:15):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
but they will never allow the media, social media come to China. (19:22):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Right. So and but they copy everything because they stole all the technology. (19:27):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So Tencent in Chinese is Tengshun. Tengshun is basically a copy of Google. (19:32):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And so Alibaba is a copy of Amazon. (19:38):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And so they copy everything and then they control everything. (19:44):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And, of course, the technology was not their invention. (19:48):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's absolutely they just stole it. (19:52):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And we let, that is another thing, we let them steal it. (19:57):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's never just, oh, the CCP is so evil, they come and steal our technology. You know, we let it. (20:00):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So WeChat was really, really bad. And WeChat was also very, very popular. (20:09):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And I had WeChat in my phone for years because it's the best way to communicate (20:15):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
with home and friends and family. (20:21):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And so when my ex-count was hacked, I truly believe. (20:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I have no evidence, but I truly believe it's because CCP. and that's because WeChat. (20:32):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
WeChat is a program that can get into your phone and get into all the other (20:40):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
programs that you have on the phone. (20:47):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So when I decided finally I'm going to get rid of it, I can't just delete it. (20:50):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
What I did is I have to go to, because my phone is an iPhone, (20:54):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I have to go to the Apple Store and clean out everything. (20:59):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Everything, and re-import apps. (21:06):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And that's the only way to, I think it's even, I believe it even listen to you. (21:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I mean, it's just like a surveillance tool that they control every Chinese and (21:19):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
they control every user. (21:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And so when I heard that, I did not know this, that Tencent was the parent company of WeChat, (21:27):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
and when I heard that Tencent was one of the largest investors of Tesla, (21:37):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And then the Elon Musk want to make X, the everything app, right? (21:46):

Xi Van Fleet:
That's what WeChat is about. (21:52):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
You can pay with WeChat. You can just do everything with WeChat. (21:56):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And of course, everything is controlled by the CCP. (22:00):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So everything in one app, they control you. So I said, well, (22:03):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
that doesn't sound too good. (22:07):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Well, that should be a warning to us in the West, how government have used that. (22:09):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
There was another post you put up, and obviously you, born in China, (22:15):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
grew up in the cultural revolution. (22:22):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
You've seen the destruction that communism does to a country. (22:24):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Now I live in America, you've got citizenship. (22:30):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
But it's this issue of those who serve in elected office don't have to be American-born. (22:32):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I think Jim Jordan introduces the bill, and you talked about banning teachers' unions. (22:43):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I want to come on to that, the whole issue of education, because that fits into (22:49):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
the battle against woke that you've been very much involved in. (22:53):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
But it's kind of curious. (22:57):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
I think you're curious as a Brit actually looking at the U.S. (23:00):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And realizing that those in Congress, or even the president, (23:05):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
doesn't necessarily have to be American-born. (23:09):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And this, again, is another example of President Trump coming in and fixing (23:11):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
some of the problems that have been there. And this is Jim Jordan introducing this bill. (23:17):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yeah, this bill, I have a mixed feeling about this bill. (23:22):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I think the reason, the intention they want to introduce this bill is good. Why? (23:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Because look at the Congress, look at our government, look at our state and our cities. (23:32):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
All those people who are elected, who are the first-generation immigrants, (23:37):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
they are almost 99% on the left. (23:45):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And they are devoted communists. Okay, so I can see that. (23:51):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But also, I can see that my friend, Lilithang William, is running. (23:58):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And she is a first-generation immigrant. And I hope this time she will get the chance to win. (24:03):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So immigrants, first-generation immigrants, is not the real problem to me. (24:11):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's not the real problem. (24:18):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
The problem is educational system. (24:20):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Take Mandani, for example. (24:22):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Okay, so the candidate for New York City mayor race, he came here at seven. (24:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So where did he go to school? Where did he get his indoctrination? (24:33):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
In America, in all the elite schools that he got his so-called education from. Look at Omar. (24:37):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So she came in earlier, but she did not assimilate. (24:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Why? Because assimilation is racist, and it's pushed by the Democratic Party. (24:55):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So the problem is not quite about, but I do say that's a problem. (25:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
We have to vet who come here, and also we have to really, I think we should (25:09):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
do some kind of a vetting ideology. (25:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But I think most of the problem, like Michelle Wu, the mayor of Boston, she was born here, yeah. (25:20):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But her parents are from Taiwan. (25:30):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Where did she get her radical ideology? From school, from university. (25:33):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So I think that is the real problem, is education. (25:39):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So if we, as long as we don't have control over education, we're going to have (25:44):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
more of the radical politicians who are immigrants. (25:48):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
This also tells me something else, that the communist Democrats, (25:55):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
they identify those candidates with identity. (26:01):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So being an immigrant is absolutely one of the sought-after identity. (26:06):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I gave you a score up in the intersectionality. (26:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So they look for those people. (26:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They groom them and they support them. (26:18):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And how about the Republicans? (26:21):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They're clueless. (26:24):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They're absolutely clueless. They don't identify people, or at least not enough, (26:26):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
who are immigrants, who are patriotic, and who are anti-communism. (26:32):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They just don't do enough work to help those people to run, first of all, and then to win. (26:38):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So I do think that, I hope I make myself clear, it can be an issue, (26:47):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
but it's not the real issue. (26:53):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
You mentioned about New York. Tell us your thoughts about that, Mamdani. (26:56):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
He seems to have come from nowhere. He's a Marxist. He's also Muslim. (27:01):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And it's that red-green alliance that doesn't seem to fit in to the freedoms that we want in the West, (27:08):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
the freedoms you have in the US, the freedoms we have had in the UK up to recently. (27:17):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
But yeah, how will that play out? Do you think there'll be a strong Republican candidate? (27:24):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Do you think he'll automatically get him because of the demographic voting in New York? (27:30):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Because that's just up the road from you in Virginia. So what are your thoughts on that? (27:35):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yeah, I don't think we have a strong Republican candidate, period. (27:40):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So I think so far, I think our only hope is that Eric Adam will win. (27:47):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
At least he's not insane Marxist. (27:54):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And I listened to his interview about his experience in Cuba. (27:57):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And he did say that communism doesn't work. (28:04):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And he did say that the poverty and everything, the root cause was Marxism. (28:07):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And look at the others. Look at the Los Angeles mayor. (28:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
She went to Cuba many times. She loved it. And that's why she bring it to America. (28:18):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So I think Eric Adam, at least... (28:22):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's not insane. (28:27):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
He is one of the same Democrats. So I don't know the outlook, (28:30):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
but I do want to talk about this guy. (28:35):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And he is such a danger, not just to New York City, because a lot of people (28:39):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
on exit, what do you care? (28:43):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
You're not a resident of New York. I do care. (28:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I absolutely do care, because New York City is the symbol of American capitalism. (28:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And we don't want to just, like Trump said, we're not going to hand it over to a communist. (28:56):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Communism, their primary goal is to take down capitalism. You have to understand (29:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
that. So their enemy is capitalism. (29:09):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And now we want a communist to take over New York City. (29:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
That's just not acceptable. But here is something else I have been trying to, (29:17):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
at least to tell people who pay attention to my tweet. And he's a little different. (29:21):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And so far in the past, I don't know, past decade or so, you have classic Marxist (29:31):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
or classic communist like Bernie Sanders, right? He talk about class. (29:39):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
He's the old school communist. (29:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And he even, not too long ago, he had an interview. He said, (29:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
the race is just distraction. (29:53):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
You know, it's class. And he got attacked by the left. (29:55):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And then you got the cultural Marxists. They talk about what? They talk about race. (30:00):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They talk about queer. (30:07):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They talk about the really, they are cultural Marxists. They talk about intersectionality. (30:09):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And this guy talked about both. (30:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And this guy is really... (30:18):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Very, very smooth, of course. (30:21):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And he talked about the classic Marxism using the vocabulary from Communist (30:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Manifesto and from Las Capitas. (30:35):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Seize means of production. And he said also abolish abolition of private property. (30:40):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And he's not hiding it. And he's more than that. (30:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I tweeted he's a communist, a cultural Marxist, and he's Islamist. (30:53):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But I think it is a mistake to, especially in Europe, a lot of people think (31:01):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Islamism is the top one thread to Western civilization. I disagree. (31:07):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I think it's Marxism. There is no way that Islamism can make headway in the (31:15):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
West and in the United States and in the UK without cultural Marxism. How? (31:22):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Cultural Marxism is just, you know, oppressor-impressed, and identity politics, (31:29):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
victimology, all this paved way to the invasion of Islamism. (31:36):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So it is something else I think it's interesting that even though I know a lot (31:45):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
about communism, I don't know enough about Islamism, but I know they are incompatible. (31:50):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I know, you know, in China, you can say they're not compatible. (31:56):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Why do they have this green and red alliances now? (32:00):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Right now, it's because they share one enemy. For now, they have one common (32:05):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
enemy, that is the United States, the West, freedom, liberty. (32:11):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So people say, what if they won, their alliances won, and then they were going (32:17):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
to be at each other's throat? (32:23):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And I have a discussion with a Muslim friend who is conservative. (32:24):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
She said, I bet Islam will win. I said, I bet communism will win because I think (32:30):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
communism is even more ruthless than Islam. (32:38):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So we don't know. But this is the key. (32:43):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Cultural Marxism absolutely paved way to almost all our problems. (32:46):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
All, I would say, even our national debt. How did we get this kind of national (32:52):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
debt? It's because socialism. (32:57):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's because what... (32:59):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
FDR and Lyndon Johnson, they transformed America. (33:03):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They really transformed America and created a new class. (33:08):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They are the dependent class. They are the new proletarian class. (33:13):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And that's how we get into debt, right? The entitlement, they have to have it. (33:18):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And that's the government job to support them. Anyway, so. (33:24):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
No, I could talk. I think my money would be on Islam winning, (33:29):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
but the thing is, in New York, you've got these two attacks on freedoms coming (33:34):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
from different sources. (33:39):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And that is the huge concern for all of us. (33:41):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
But you said, I think your tweet was, does it surprise anyone that United Federation (33:46):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
of Teachers endorsed Komi Mamdani? (33:52):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And it's that educational side, and you called it the Marxianization of our (33:56):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
educational system, and that's the reason for the spread of communism in America. (34:03):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Now, of course, President Trump has, actually, it seems though the Department (34:08):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
of Education will be disbanded and headed back to the states. (34:13):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
That seems to be a huge win and move away from the central control down to the state level. (34:16):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Well, maybe let us know a little bit about that, because this has been one of (34:23):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
your key areas that you've been speaking out on how woke and Marxist ideology (34:27):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
has progressed through the education system. (34:34):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yes, it's absolutely the case. And we talk about it. It is the key. (34:37):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
If we want to take back the country, we have to take back our educational system. (34:41):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
If we want to take back our educational system, we have to take down the central (34:45):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
control by the federal government, which is the Department of Education. (34:51):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
We also have to take down the teachers' union. (34:55):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
In China, everything was decided at the central level, at the highest level, (35:01):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
education and everything. (35:08):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Of course, central planning is their thing. (35:09):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So, and there was just a group of so-called experts or devoted communists. (35:12):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They would design a textbook and they would design the curriculum. (35:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
They would design what can be taught, what cannot be taught, (35:20):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
what should be the kind of like alert. (35:23):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
If you see a student doing this, you have to do something. Control, (35:29):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
basically control, mind control. (35:32):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And then they just push it down because they have the power. (35:33):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But in America, education traditionally is in the state level. (35:36):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
You know, the state, and not even the state level. I said in the local level, (35:41):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
the school board, you know, in the county, they decide what to teach and whatever. (35:45):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So it is hard when you have to control every school district. (35:54):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So they go, they come in this way. Central control. That's how Jimmy Carter (35:58):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
introduced the Department of Education. (36:03):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And then they, of course, they can't control all the curriculum yet, (36:07):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
but they control the money and they control the program. (36:10):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
In order to get the federal fund, you have to do this and this and this. (36:14):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And that is all Marxist programs. (36:20):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So that's exactly so. What happened here, happened in China? It's just a copy. (36:24):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
The thing is control. The same, if you talk about Marxism, if you talk about (36:31):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
communism, totalitarianism, one word, control. (36:37):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Control a few, control the rest. So teachers' union, of course, (36:42):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
they control the schools. They control the teacher. (36:47):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And so my county, Loudoun County in Virginia, did not have a teachers' union (36:50):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
until recently. And I went to the school board meeting to oppose, (36:57):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
introduce the teachers' union. (37:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And they can control so much. They can control, of course, when the school teachers (37:05):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
are unionized, the union can decide what to teach. (37:14):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
The union can basically sideline the school board. (37:18):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
The school board no longer have the control. And yet the school board members (37:23):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
proved the unionization of Loudoun School District. (37:28):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Why? They're all bought, all bought by the school, the teachers union. (37:33):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And who is behind school union, teachers union? (37:39):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Billionaires such as sorrow (37:44):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
and that is why it's just so (37:47):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
so so important to realize at least i think trump um see the uh the danger we (37:50):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
have to first of all get the uh education department out of the way which is (37:56):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
happening it's just so good and then we have to do something about the teachers Union. (38:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Otherwise they control everything. No, absolutely. (38:08):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Let me end off just asking you about kind of where the administration is winning. (38:13):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Part of it is the education battle. We've seen the pushback against the whole (38:21):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
LGBT lobby and especially with how children are being indoctrinated I guess (38:25):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
with the educational system but then also the whole trance movement and how (38:32):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
that has destroyed many children's lives. (38:37):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And there's so many areas in the cultural battle. (38:40):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And then I think even the Islamic city in Dallas, I think Americans waking up (38:45):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
to the impact of Islam on the freedoms that we have. (38:51):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
And those freedoms don't necessarily last forever. They are only there if we (38:57):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
choose to keep them in our societies. (39:02):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Maybe just to finish your thoughts on how the administration is kind of winning (39:06):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
those different battles in the cultural space. (39:11):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yeah, I think we are winning and especially, you know, in the federal government, (39:15):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
DEI is banned and education and transgender. (39:25):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And now, like the University of Pennsylvania, I apologize. (39:31):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So we have a lot of progress. (39:38):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But it's just not enough. It's because it has been like this for decades. (39:42):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And I don't expect it to change overnight. (39:49):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But also, what I say is that, yes, it is great that Trump administration is taking actions. (39:54):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But also, it is us, us, the grassroots. (40:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
We have to keep fighting. And I think it's still going on. And I think it's (40:06):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
good that we have to get involved. (40:11):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And people say, OK, you know, presidential election is every four years and (40:14):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
the midterm is every two years. (40:20):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But in the school, in the local level, you have to really fight to take back (40:22):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
the school board, the city council. (40:28):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And we have to do that. That's our job. It's really our job. (40:31):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So to change the culture and we all have to step in. And I think there is a (40:35):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
tendency, a lot of conservatives think the job is done, we won. (40:41):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Now, we won the battle and not the war, yet, not yet. (40:47):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
So while, you know, we do, you know, every day, I hope some more good news, (40:52):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
you know, from Trump administration. (40:58):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
But I think the emphasis should be on us. (41:00):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yeah, on everyone, every parent, every resident, and getting involved locally. (41:03):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
I think there's more involvement, but I also see the involvement. (41:11):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's like some people just very active in 2020, 2021. (41:16):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Now I don't see those faces, and I see new faces, but we need to see the same face. (41:23):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
We need to keep doing. How do you, this is, well, this is something that's really (41:28):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
true and maybe a little bit discouraging, but this is the truth. (41:33):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
How do you defeat communism is keep fighting. (41:38):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
The moment you stop fighting, they won. Because it's a virus. (41:42):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's a virus and it becomes a common cold. It's not going away. (41:47):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Don't ever expect, we defeat communism, job done, game over. No, no. (41:52):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
It's a virus that will never disappear. So we have to keep fighting. (41:58):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
And so never stop. (42:02):
undefined
Xi Van Fleet:
Yeah, that has become a lifestyle. (42:05):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Not completely. And we are going to see whether the conservatives love America (42:07):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
more than the left hate America. (42:12):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
That's what it boils down to. The love of country is much more powerful and (42:14):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
can defeat that hatred from the left. (42:19):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
Xi, thank you so much for coming on. And if Made in America is anywhere near (42:24):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
as good as Mao's America, you'll definitely have a second bestseller. (42:30):
undefined
Hearts of Oak:
There's a lot of pressure to actually do a second book off the (42:35):
undefined
