Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loom. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What we've got here is failure, milk.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Most of the people covering that campaign were not particularly
knowledgeable about the past and didn't you know, may not
have even known that. You know, America Firster's pac Madison
Square Garden in nineteen thirty nine and a pro Nazi
Germany rally.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You said over the weekend referring to it, there's a
direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the
mid nineteen thirties, that Medicine Square Garden. So I know
what I saw, and I'll just leave it at that.
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
The races, sex, is homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, you name it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Billy garbage, I see floating. There's your supporters.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
His his demonizational scene is unconstable.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I
call the basket of deplorables.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You know, that's a little bit old. That sharts a
couple of months old. And if you want to.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Really see something that said, take a look at what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
We bleed the same blood.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
We share the same home, and we salute the same
great American flag. We are one people, one family.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
And one glorious nation under God.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So Jews and Muslims and Catholics and Evangelicals and Mormons,
and they're all joining our colors and large numbers, larger
than anyone has ever seen in this country before, larger
than they've ever seen in any country. And the Publican
Party has really become the party of inclusion, and that's something.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Very nice about that. So Karen Bass imposed a curfew
from eight p to six a across most of downtown
Los Angeles, which is the next step, the next phase
in this development of I thought it was peaceful. I
thought everything was fine. I thought everything was going great,
(02:28):
which is kind of what she said from Ghana while
Los Angeles burned down. You'll recall, give this a listen.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
Many businesses have now been affected by our vandalized last night.
There were twenty three businesses that were looted. And I
think that if you drive through downtown LA, the graffiti
is everywhere and has caused significant damages to businesses and
a number of properties. So my message to you is
(03:00):
if you do not live or work in downtown LA.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Avoid the area.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew and
you will be prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Hundreds of officers.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
From police and sheriff departments from across the region and
state are working alongside LAPD through a unified command structure.
The curfew will be in place tonight from eight pm
until six am. I want to thank the Governor for
his partnership, and especially thank our state and local leaders
and deputies, officers and deputies who are working tirelessly.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So curfew guidance again.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
It will begin at eight pm tonight and go until
six am tomorrow. I will consult with elected leaders and
law enforcement officials tomorrow on the continuation of the curfew,
but we certainly expect for it to last for several days.
The curfew will be The curfew area will be between
the five Freeway and to the one to ten and
(03:59):
the Tenay to where the one ten Freeway and five
Freeway merge. You look and look at the map and
you can see that the city of Los Angeles is
a massive area five hundred and two square miles. The
area of downtown where the curfew will take place is
one square mile. I think it is important to point
this out not to minimize the vandalism and violence that
(04:22):
has taken place there. It has been significant, but it
is extremely important to know that what is happening in
this one square mile is not affecting the city. Some
of the imagery of the protests and the violence gives
the appearance as though this is a city wide crisis,
and it is not so. Who everyone must abide by
(04:45):
this curfew. Limited exceptions will apply for residents, people traveling
to and from work, and credentialed media representatives.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
The curfew is necessary, and I want to be clear
on that, but let's also be clear on something else.
In a free society, at curfew is imprisonment. There's no
way around that. Now, some of you are so in
love with safety and security that you would sacrifice all freedom.
I think a curfew is what you have to do
(05:15):
to take back control of Los Angeles. There's no way
around that. But I bring that up because the result
of not instituting and preserving law and order. If you
don't preserve law and order, you end up imprisoning free Americans.
I give an example. I was in DC a month ago.
(05:39):
I went to a CVS had to buy a couple
of things. And these weren't high value things. These weren't
things that you could easily secret in your bitches. They
had a security guard standing at the front door ominously.
He wasn't friendly. He was trying to give the impression
don't steal from the store. They had one person working
(06:02):
the cash register, they had two of the self serve checkouts,
and the other employees were walking the aisles looking to
see if anybody was stealing anything. And if you wanted anything,
you'd push a button and they'd have to come and
they have to unlock it and give it to you.
You know what happens there. That's the result of when
you let too many people steal. Innocent people have to
(06:25):
deal with that. LA County Supervisor Catherine Barger was asked
by CNN which is having the bigger impact on Los
Angeles the protests, which are terror attacks or the ice raids?
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Supervisor Barger, let me first ask you this are the
protests or the ice raids having a bigger impact on
the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Well, right now, I would argue to protests or having
a bigger impact on what is taking place downtown. I mean,
this is not peaceful protests. These are anarchists who are
going in and really opportunists. They're taking advantage of a
situation that unfortunately continues to escalate. So right now my
concern are the protesters, not the peaceful on which we
(07:09):
saw when they were downtown supporting you know, David Watut,
I think it's important for us to recognize that they
are coming in peace, but there are those that are
embedded that are really attacking law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
This is not about ISAs.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
This is about completely dismantling law enforcements.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The Michael Verie Show continues to use the Democrats continue
to push the narrative that somehow President Trump wants a
civil war and that the riots are only happening because
he escalated the situation. Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy, who until
(07:51):
the afternoon when Biden was killed off or choked off
or I don't weekend at Barnie, I don't know what happened,
but the story that's being told is that Biden didn't
know they were pushing him out. On that Sunday, Chris Murphy,
who was his campaign chairman, this sad, pitiful Connecticut Democrat senator,
(08:14):
was on the talkers that morning on the talk shows
that morning, saying that Joe Biden was better than ever
and ready for the campaign. And he was. And then
an hour or two later, Yeah, Biden's out. This poor guy.
I guess he thinks we don't remember. He was on
MSNBC where he said the president is trying to turn
(08:35):
this into something more. The guy who told us that
Joe Biden was as sharp as ever at the very
day they squeezed him out. He says, President Trump is
trying to create a war.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
I mean, my first message is to keep it peaceful.
I mean, obviously, this is a moment where we have
to be on the streets all over the country to
protest what's happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly,
to protest what's happening to our democracy. This is the
most corrupt administration in the history of the country, and
we are going to rise to this moment by being
out there on the streets. But you know, ultimately, I
(09:08):
think the country sees what Donald Trump is trying to
do here.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
He's looking for a fight.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
There's nothing in what he is doing that is about
peace or about restoring order. He's taking a protest that
is relatively isolated. You know, people in Los Angeles over
the weekend would tell you that ninety nine percent of
them went about their day and it was pretty normal,
because this is not an invasion that has taken over
the entire city. And he's trying to turn a protest
that is pretty small into something that involves an even
(09:35):
bigger confrontation, so that he might actually be able to
invoke the Insurrection Act. That would be a defining story
of the week if he were to do.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It, And I just don't think.
Speaker 9 (09:45):
I think we have to make sure that we understand
to not take him at his word.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
He's looking for a fight.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
He's not trying to calm tensions.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
We don't need to calm tensions from illegal aliens blowing
up cars and throwing bricks at cops. They are not
in charge here, Okay, the Somali pirate is not in
charge here. You know, if tomorrow somebody just walked up
(10:16):
to a cop in anywhere America took a brick through
it and bashed him in the head, he'd be shot dead.
This idea that we're so afraid to do anything to
people if they call themselves protesters, it's impotent, it's defeat
it's ineffective and it's shameful. We as a society need
(10:42):
to determine are we a nation of laws, are we
a nation of order? Or have we become so twisted
in our guilt that these people have foisted upon us
that we are incapable of preserving the peace, incapable of
protecting our own people. Because that's where we are today.
(11:06):
Formacy I director Very Bad Guy John Brennan was also
on MSNBC spouting the same nonsense.
Speaker 10 (11:14):
It should be a redline for everyone that's not to
deploy US forces domestically here. It's clear that Donald Trump
is tearing this country apart. He's pitting American citizens against
one another. The National Guard men and women who have
been deployed to the streets of Los Angeles, they're citizens
of California. I'm sure they don't like the idea that
(11:35):
they have to fulfill.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Their obligations as National Guards people.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
You know, despite the recommendations, the strong recommendation of the
governor and the mayor not to do that. But Donald
Trump is determined to have this confrontation and provoke confrontation.
And that's why just listening to Mike Johnson basically say
it's okay to deploy US military forces domestically here against
American citizens. I mean this just after one hundred and
(12:01):
twenty days or so of this administration. I can just
you know, imagine where it's going to go over the
next or in twenty days and over the.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Next three and a half years.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
And I'm hoping that there's going to be individuals of
principle in the Republican Party who are going to say
enough is enough. But you know, I've lost faith in
so many of them who have just been willing to
give Donald Trump everything he wants again, irrespective of law
and order, respect of the Constitution, respective of common sense,
and irrespective of what keeps us country together, which is
(12:30):
the people that keep us together. And again, I think
Donald Trump is going down this road intentionally again to
try to provoke these types of confrontations that's going.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
To go nowhere. Good sticking to the script, I say.
Former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill told MSNBC's Nicole Wallace that
it's time for everyone in the military to speak up
against what Trump is doing. Do you understand that you
take an oath when you serve in our military? And
(12:59):
he is the in chief. You know, I'm reminded of
the Marines in Afghanistan who two of their own had
been slaughtered by the Taliban, and they captured the guys
who had done it. Well, they shot and killed the
guys who had done it, and then they urinated on
their bodies, and charges were brought against those guys. Charges
(13:22):
were brought against those guys who, in a fit of
peak anger, frustration, their mate, their buddy, their brother had
been murdered, and in war, they pede on the guys
who had done it, and our United States military brought
charges against them for that. You think you're going to
(13:46):
get the rank and file to say that they don't
want Trump protecting this country when they have gone abroad
and fought for this country. See, that is the idea
of the left is we fight for Ukraine, not for Americans.
We fight for Afghanistan not for Americans. We fight for
(14:07):
Iraq not for Americans. We send our troops to Vietnam
to fight their war, or Korea, but we don't defend
our own people. That's sickening. Here's what she said.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
First of all, time for everyone who is in the
military to speak up, especially those powerful retired generals and
for stars that are in a position.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
To speak out. It might be a good time.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
For the veterans that are Republicans that serving Congress to
find their voice. You know, I'm talking about you, Jony Ernst,
I'm talking about you, Tom Cotton, I'm talking about you,
Lindsey Graham. I'm talking about the chairman of the Armed
Services Committee, Roger Wicker. You know, this is a terrible
thing to happen in our country. And here's outside to
be a winner, nicol if people remain peaceful. If they
(14:57):
remain peaceful, then the visuals of this are going to
be jarring to the American people to see military deployed
and standing there threatening these full Americans. They are letting
their opinions be nun That won't work politically for Donald Trump.
And that's the key here is we all have to
emphasize how important it is that people who are violent
(15:20):
and immediately be arrested and prosecuted, and that the vast
majority of people who engage in these protests must remain
committed to being peaceful, because if they.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Do, this will be a big.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Political loser for Donald Trump.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
Listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast is sexy be sexy.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
In a completely random story, although it's tangentially related to this,
a state representative in Minnesota named Cowley Vange or Wong Viang.
She told their assembly their legislature that she is in
the country illegally. Listen to this.
Speaker 12 (16:00):
Mother had died, My father as the one processing the paperwork,
put my grandmother down as his mother, and so I
am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here
in this country.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So we've got a Rachel Dolosol situation perhaps where someone
who is not illegally in the country is claiming to
be an illegal alien. Because remember when you put people
up on a pedestal, others want to be that. When
you make trainees the greatest incarnat and then get you
(16:35):
induce people to training hood. When you make blacks the highlight,
they are the oppressed, which is the greatest, you'll have
the Rachel Dolahsol's. You'll have Sean White or whatever the
guy's name is. You'll have other people pretending they're black
in an effort to be that celebrated oppressed person. She's
(16:59):
a state rep in Minnesota announcing that she's in the
country illegally. Play that again, please, Remont.
Speaker 12 (17:08):
Because his mother had died. My father, as the one
processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother,
and so I am illegal in this country. My parents
are illegal here in this country.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Then somebody got to her and said, hey, I realized
you're just a stolen baller case here, but uh, that
could end up causing you some problems. So she later
clarified following her floor speech that both she and her
parents are US citizens. In an interview with Newsweek magazine,
(17:43):
the Democrat explained that her parents completed the naturalization process
and she became a citizen while she was still in
middle school. Play that again, please Romon, because.
Speaker 12 (17:56):
His mother had died, My father, as the ons is
seeing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother,
and so I am illegal in this country. My parents
are illegal here in this country.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So she gave the following statement, It is incredibly disheartening
that my floor speech, where I shared my family's deeply
personal immigration story was twisted into anti immigrant clickbait. Let
me be absolutely clear, my parents are citizens, and so
(18:36):
am I. Nobody's twisting anything. You said that you're an
illegal alien. You said it, we didn't. And now someone
is twisting what you say. No, actually not at all.
(18:58):
Gavin Newsom was on Fox eleven in Los Angeles and
we've played this before, but I want you to hear it,
and he says that President Trump, this is four h
three or mote. He says, if President Trump wants a
civil war in the streets, I play this because we
need it for the next two bits this thing develops.
Go ahead, these.
Speaker 13 (19:16):
Guys, these idiots, they're jumping up on cars that are burning,
these weymos, these people.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
That's a disgrace. And the impact they're having.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
On our democracy, there's a lot at risk here. I mean,
this is not just a simple act of disabete as.
They should be arrested, they should be held accountable anyone
who attacks any innocent person, including a law enforcement person
that's lawfully doing their job. They're members of our community
just like everybody else. They go to the same churches,
they're good human beings. And just because we don't like
Donald Trump, just because we don't like their orders, doesn't
(19:47):
mean you have the right to hurt or harm people.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And that goes for them as well.
Speaker 13 (19:51):
And we'll hold up everybody to a higher level of accountability.
But that's not what Trump is after. He's not for
peace making. He's here for war. He wants a civil
war on the streets.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
So Gavin Newsom would not send in the National Guard
because he wasn't allowed to by his overlords because they
needed to maximize the devastation. So the President had to
call up the National Guard himself, the first time since
nineteen sixty five a president has called up the National
Guard when that state's governor didn't. That was during the
Civil Rights movement. So he wouldn't call up the National
(20:25):
Guard to protect Los Angeles, which again is burning. But
on January fourteenth, twenty twenty one, he deployed one thousand
National Guard members to protect the California state capital from
insurrectionists in the week leading up to Joe Biden's inauguration.
(20:48):
This was pure theater. There was no insurrection, there was
no threat. He was using the National Guard and sending
them in as a way of saying that Trump's supporters
were violent, which they weren't.
Speaker 11 (21:04):
Let me be clear, there will be no tolerance for violence.
That's why today, along with the CHP and Office of
Emergency Services, I've activated the California National Guard to support
the CHP to enhance security with an initial deployment of
up to one thousand Guard members to protect critical state infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
In and around the state capitol.
Speaker 11 (21:24):
Also, today we're standing up temporary security perimeter around the Capitol.
We'll of course share additional information and additional measures that
we're taking in the coming days. But let me be clear,
what we witness in our nation's capital was an undemocratic
and unconscionable assault on our republic and the freedoms upon
which our nation was founded. California will take every necessary
(21:45):
measure to protect public safety and our democratic principles and
to ensure that those disgraceful actions are not repeated here.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh so you use the National Guard where there is
no threat, but refuse the National Guard where they're burning
Los Angeles down. Later that same year, he did it again.
He sent armed law enforcement to shut down a Christian
preschool because they refuse to mask two year olds.
Speaker 14 (22:21):
Jada, California came here with arm law enforcement and shut
down our preschool hundred kids.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
We had just.
Speaker 14 (22:27):
Applied to add another fifty, and they shut us down
because we weren't putting masks on two and three year olds.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Because they weren't putting masks on two and three year olds.
You ever tried to ever watch the kid two and
three years old? They panic, they feel claustrophobic in the
mask don't work. President Trump was asked if Tom Holman
should arrest Gavin Newsom, and this was his response, Tom
holmil become in a record. Did he do it?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
I would do it if I word I did you
play foot stab It like the probity.
Speaker 13 (23:06):
But I think.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
He's done a terrible job.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
He's I like the happens.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
He's the night staff, and he's mostly in confidence.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Everybody knows. All you have to do is look at
the little railroad in his building. It's about a hundred
times over budget. We're putting a flagpole over there under budget.
I always do.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Intel tell you.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
About the people caused all the problems. You know they are?
They are they people I've been trying to deport. Are
they perfectful acted?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The people that are causing the problem are professional agitators.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
They're insurrected. This step ads people. They should be in jail.
You haven't knew some as clearly panicked because he has
been saying to Trump, yeah, yeah, go ahead and in
arrest me doing his Braer, his best brayer rabbit. But
I think he's scared. I do think he's scared. She
was twelve, I was thirty. But it was wonderful to
(24:04):
have you, mister President. The Michael Arry Show. Do you
remember Bread of Buber? She was the little teenager being
used by her father who spoke at the United Nation's
Climate summit in twenty nineteen. She was, all of a sudden,
the premier scientist on the issue of global warming.
Speaker 15 (24:30):
For more than thirty years, the science has been crystal clear.
How dare you continue to look away and come here
saying that you're doing enough when the politics and solutions
needed are still nowhere in sight. You say you hear
us and that you understand the urgency. But no matter
(24:51):
how sad and angry I am, I do not want
to believe that, because if you really understood the situation
and still kept on failing to act, that you would
be evil, and that I refuse to believe.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Good grief.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
It's like it's like how Hamas uses the human shields
of children and women as they hide behind them and
engage in nefarious activities.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, she was part of a flotilla bringing aid to
Gaza or so they said. But when her yacht was
stopped by the Israeli defense forces, she was deforced, she
was deported, She wasn't bringing aid. What they called the
aid was the food supplies they themselves were eating. She
called it a kidnapping because that's what her daddy told
(25:43):
her to tell her to say. President Trump was asked
if he had a message for the little nut job.
Do you have a message for Greta Tunberg? And did
she come up on your call with the Prime Minister today.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Well, she's a strange person. She's a young, angry person.
I don't know if it's real anger so hard to believe.
Actually I saw what happened. Uh, she's certainly different anger management.
I think she has to go to an anger management class.
Do you think my primary recommendation was.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
She kidnapped by Israel? As she says, I find it.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
I think Israel has enough problems with that kidnapping g Retathunberg.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Just remember this, of all the Democrats and media members
telling you that Trump caused all the problems, that it
was Trump who did everything the violence. He's attempting to
stop the violence with federal response. The violence preceded any
(26:42):
involvement he had and was only what provoked him to
try to protect the people. Let's go back a few
days ago to LA Police Chief Jim McDonald, before any
National Guard had been called up, before anything had been done.
This is what was happening. Listen to the LA Police
Department Chief Jim McDonald, who reports to the mayor there,
(27:05):
whose job it was to protect the people there. Listen
to this. We saw the first night was bad.
Speaker 16 (27:12):
What we've seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse
and more violent.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Tonight, we had individuals.
Speaker 16 (27:18):
Out there shooting commercial grade fireworks at our officers that
can kill you. And we have adapted our tactics to
be able to have a chance, to be able to
take these people into custody and to be able.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
To hold them accountable.
Speaker 16 (27:31):
We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people
out there engaged in this type of activity and the
type of things that they're doing. They'll take backpacks and
the backpack will have a cinder block in it. They
have a hammer, and they'll break up the cinder block
and use that pass it around to throw at officers,
to throw at cars, and throw at other people. We've
seen people with hammers, and you've broadcasted breaking the ballards
(27:55):
behind the Federal building and taken the rocks, if you will,
or pieces of concrete and throw on them ad officers.
We've had liquid who knows what description throwing at officers.
There's no limit to what they're doing to our officers.
And again, as I mentioned in my statement, I can't
thank our folks enough and our partner agency police officials
(28:17):
for going out there and taking care of the community.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
We've now received yet a third national, a third story
related in a very short period of time, a matter
of days of a Chinese national working at an American
university being charged with smuggling biological material into the United
States in one week alone. They are preparing an attack
(28:44):
on us. How many times does this have to happen.
They're all Chinese nationals, They're all attempting to destroy our
food supply. Let's start with clip number two from Fox News.
Speaker 17 (28:56):
Le FBI director Cash Mattel called this a direct threat
to dash SO security end quote. This case is a
sobering reminder that the Chinese Communist Party continues to deploy
operatives and researchers to infiltrate our institutions. And target our
food supply and act that could cripple our economy and
endanger American lives. Federal prosecutors who charged the Chinese couple,
(29:18):
Young Chichian and zanjug Liu, was smuggling a dangerous biological pathogen.
The government says in July, Leo flew from China to Detroit,
where customs officials found a fungus stashed in his backpack,
one prosecutors call a potential agro terrorism weapon. They say
Leo wanted to conduct research on it at the University
of Michigan, where his girlfriend, Jion worked. The FBI says
(29:40):
it searched Gion's phone and found a form describing her
membership in and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party, and
that she previously tried smuggling this same.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Substance in the United States.
Speaker 17 (29:51):
As some Republicans say, the US should prohibit any foreign
national affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party from getting a
student visa. The University of Michigan says it's co operating
with law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
End quote.
Speaker 17 (30:01):
We strongly condemn any actions that seek to cause harmed
threat national security. It is important to note that the
university has received no funding from the Chinese government in
relation to research conducted by the accused individuals. Gian is
in federal custody depending on hearing tomorrow afternoon.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Official Saint Leu.
Speaker 17 (30:19):
Her boyfriend was denied entry into the US last year
and returned to China after customs official seize's backpack. The
Chinese Embassy in d C says the Chinese government requires
its citizens to abide by local laws.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Now, let's go to different story, CBS News In.
Speaker 18 (30:36):
Detroit Junction, Han is facing charges of smuggling goods into
the US and making false statements. She is being temporarily
detained until her next hearing now. According to the criminal
complaint filed in court, Han allegedly sent four packages to
people associated with a UFM lab. She arrived at Detroit
(30:59):
Metro Airport yesterday, where she was stopped by US Customs
and Border Protection officers. During questioning, she initially denied sending
those packages, but later admitted to the accusation. Today, in court,
Han was accompanied by a Mandarin Chinese translator. The judge
read Han her rights, and she opted to be assigned
a court appointed attorney for the proceedings. When asked if
(31:22):
she understood the charges, Han responded in English, Yes, I understand.
Last week two other Chinese nationals were in court facing
similar charges. The Chinese consulate based in Chicago says it's.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Investigating this case.
Speaker 18 (31:36):
In a statement, they say the Chinese government has always
required Chinese nationals overseas to strictly observe a local laws
and regulations, including the entry and exit regulations, while resolutely
protecting their legitimate and lawful rights and interests in accordance
with the law. China firmly opposes the US side making
(31:57):
political manipulation on related case, says under the pretext of
ideology and overstretched national security.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
When President Trump talks tough, when China understand this isn't
just a trade war. Look at how many times they
have bribed people. Look at the spies they put with
Eric Swalwell, Diane Feinstein's driver, the bribes to the Biden family,
and we continue to allow it. How many Chinese nationals
are doing that in this country and to continue to
(32:29):
do so, and how long will we allow it to continue.
Speaker 10 (32:35):
To help us?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Nice left, good thank you, and good night.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loom. So
Michael Varry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What we've got here is failure, milk.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Most of the people covering that campaign were not particularly
knowledgeable about the past and didn't you know, may not
have even known that. You know, America Firster's pac Madison
Square Garden in nineteen thirty nine and a pro Nazi
Germany rally.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
You said over the weekend referring to it, there's a
direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the
mid nineteen thirties, that Medicine Square Garden. So I know
what I saw, and I'll just leave it at that.
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (00:49):
I do, Yes, I do.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
The races, sex, is homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, you name it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Billy garbage, I see floating. There's your supporters.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
His his demonizational scene is unconstable.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
You could put half of Trump's supporters into what I
call the basket of deplorables.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
You know, that's a little bit old. That sharts a
couple of months old. And if you want to.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Really see something that said, take a look at what happened.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
We bleed the same blood.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
We share the same home, and we salute the same
great American flag. We are one people, one family.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
And one glorious nation under God.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
So Jews and Muslims and Catholics and Evangelicals and Mormons,
and they're all joining our colors and large numbers, larger
than anyone has ever seen in this country before, larger
than they've ever seen in any country. And the Publican
Party has really become the party of inclusion, and that's something.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Very nice about that. So Karen Bass imposed a curfew
from eight p to six a across most of downtown
Los Angeles, which is the next step, the next phase
in this development of I thought it was peaceful. I
thought everything was fine. I thought everything was going great,
(02:28):
which is kind of what she said from Ghana while
Los Angeles burned down. You'll recall, give this a listen.
Speaker 7 (02:38):
Many businesses have now been affected by our vandalized last night.
There were twenty three businesses that were looted. And I
think that if you drive through downtown LA, the graffiti
is everywhere and has caused significant damages to businesses and
a number of properties. So my message to you is
(03:00):
if you do not live or work in downtown LA.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Avoid the area.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Law enforcement will arrest individuals who break the curfew and
you will be prosecuted.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Hundreds of officers.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
From police and sheriff departments from across the region and
state are working alongside LAPD through a unified command structure.
The curfew will be in place tonight from eight pm
until six am. I want to thank the Governor for
his partnership, and especially thank our state and local leaders
and deputies, officers and deputies who are working tirelessly.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
So curfew guidance again.
Speaker 7 (03:38):
It will begin at eight pm tonight and go until
six am tomorrow. I will consult with elected leaders and
law enforcement officials tomorrow on the continuation of the curfew,
but we certainly expect for it to last for several days.
The curfew will be The curfew area will be between
the five Freeway and to the one to ten and
(03:59):
the Tenay to where the one ten Freeway and five
Freeway merge. You look and look at the map and
you can see that the city of Los Angeles is
a massive area five hundred and two square miles. The
area of downtown where the curfew will take place is
one square mile. I think it is important to point
this out not to minimize the vandalism and violence that
(04:22):
has taken place there. It has been significant, but it
is extremely important to know that what is happening in
this one square mile is not affecting the city. Some
of the imagery of the protests and the violence gives
the appearance as though this is a city wide crisis,
and it is not so. Who everyone must abide by
(04:45):
this curfew. Limited exceptions will apply for residents, people traveling
to and from work, and credentialed media representatives.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
The curfew is necessary, and I want to be clear
on that, but let's also be clear on something else.
In a free society, at curfew is imprisonment. There's no
way around that. Now, some of you are so in
love with safety and security that you would sacrifice all freedom.
I think a curfew is what you have to do
(05:15):
to take back control of Los Angeles. There's no way
around that. But I bring that up because the result
of not instituting and preserving law and order. If you
don't preserve law and order, you end up imprisoning free Americans.
I give an example. I was in DC a month ago.
(05:39):
I went to a CVS had to buy a couple
of things. And these weren't high value things. These weren't
things that you could easily secret in your bitches. They
had a security guard standing at the front door ominously.
He wasn't friendly. He was trying to give the impression
don't steal from the store. They had one person working
(06:02):
the cash register, they had two of the self serve checkouts,
and the other employees were walking the aisles looking to
see if anybody was stealing anything. And if you wanted anything,
you'd push a button and they'd have to come and
they have to unlock it and give it to you.
You know what happens there. That's the result of when
you let too many people steal. Innocent people have to
(06:25):
deal with that. LA County Supervisor Catherine Barger was asked
by CNN which is having the bigger impact on Los
Angeles the protests, which are terror attacks or the ice raids?
Speaker 8 (06:38):
Supervisor Barger, let me first ask you this are the
protests or the ice raids having a bigger impact on
the city of Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Well, right now, I would argue to protests or having
a bigger impact on what is taking place downtown. I mean,
this is not peaceful protests. These are anarchists who are
going in and really opportunists. They're taking advantage of a
situation that unfortunately continues to escalate. So right now my
concern are the protesters, not the peaceful on which we
(07:09):
saw when they were downtown supporting you know, David Watut,
I think it's important for us to recognize that they
are coming in peace, but there are those that are
embedded that are really attacking law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
This is not about ISAs.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
This is about completely dismantling law enforcements.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The Michael Verie Show continues to use the Democrats continue
to push the narrative that somehow President Trump wants a
civil war and that the riots are only happening because
he escalated the situation. Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy, who until
(07:51):
the afternoon when Biden was killed off or choked off
or I don't weekend at Barnie, I don't know what happened,
but the story that's being told is that Biden didn't
know they were pushing him out. On that Sunday, Chris Murphy,
who was his campaign chairman, this sad, pitiful Connecticut Democrat senator,
(08:14):
was on the talkers that morning on the talk shows
that morning, saying that Joe Biden was better than ever
and ready for the campaign. And he was. And then
an hour or two later, Yeah, Biden's out. This poor guy.
I guess he thinks we don't remember. He was on
MSNBC where he said the president is trying to turn
(08:35):
this into something more. The guy who told us that
Joe Biden was as sharp as ever at the very
day they squeezed him out. He says, President Trump is
trying to create a war.
Speaker 9 (08:45):
I mean, my first message is to keep it peaceful.
I mean, obviously, this is a moment where we have
to be on the streets all over the country to
protest what's happening to our immigrant community, but more broadly,
to protest what's happening to our democracy. This is the
most corrupt administration in the history of the country, and
we are going to rise to this moment by being
out there on the streets. But you know, ultimately, I
(09:08):
think the country sees what Donald Trump is trying to
do here.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
He's looking for a fight.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
There's nothing in what he is doing that is about
peace or about restoring order. He's taking a protest that
is relatively isolated. You know, people in Los Angeles over
the weekend would tell you that ninety nine percent of
them went about their day and it was pretty normal,
because this is not an invasion that has taken over
the entire city. And he's trying to turn a protest
that is pretty small into something that involves an even
(09:35):
bigger confrontation, so that he might actually be able to
invoke the Insurrection Act. That would be a defining story
of the week if he were to do.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
It, And I just don't think.
Speaker 9 (09:45):
I think we have to make sure that we understand
to not take him at his word.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
He's looking for a fight.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
He's not trying to calm tensions.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
We don't need to calm tensions from illegal aliens blowing
up cars and throwing bricks at cops. They are not
in charge here, Okay, the Somali pirate is not in
charge here. You know, if tomorrow somebody just walked up
(10:16):
to a cop in anywhere America took a brick through
it and bashed him in the head, he'd be shot dead.
This idea that we're so afraid to do anything to
people if they call themselves protesters, it's impotent, it's defeat
it's ineffective and it's shameful. We as a society need
(10:42):
to determine are we a nation of laws, are we
a nation of order? Or have we become so twisted
in our guilt that these people have foisted upon us
that we are incapable of preserving the peace, incapable of
protecting our own people. Because that's where we are today.
(11:06):
Formacy I director Very Bad Guy John Brennan was also
on MSNBC spouting the same nonsense.
Speaker 10 (11:14):
It should be a redline for everyone that's not to
deploy US forces domestically here. It's clear that Donald Trump
is tearing this country apart. He's pitting American citizens against
one another. The National Guard men and women who have
been deployed to the streets of Los Angeles, they're citizens
of California. I'm sure they don't like the idea that
(11:35):
they have to fulfill.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Their obligations as National Guards people.
Speaker 10 (11:39):
You know, despite the recommendations, the strong recommendation of the
governor and the mayor not to do that. But Donald
Trump is determined to have this confrontation and provoke confrontation.
And that's why just listening to Mike Johnson basically say
it's okay to deploy US military forces domestically here against
American citizens. I mean this just after one hundred and
(12:01):
twenty days or so of this administration. I can just
you know, imagine where it's going to go over the
next or in twenty days and over the.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Next three and a half years.
Speaker 10 (12:08):
And I'm hoping that there's going to be individuals of
principle in the Republican Party who are going to say
enough is enough. But you know, I've lost faith in
so many of them who have just been willing to
give Donald Trump everything he wants again, irrespective of law
and order, respect of the Constitution, respective of common sense,
and irrespective of what keeps us country together, which is
(12:30):
the people that keep us together. And again, I think
Donald Trump is going down this road intentionally again to
try to provoke these types of confrontations that's going.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
To go nowhere. Good sticking to the script, I say.
Former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill told MSNBC's Nicole Wallace that
it's time for everyone in the military to speak up
against what Trump is doing. Do you understand that you
take an oath when you serve in our military? And
(12:59):
he is the in chief. You know, I'm reminded of
the Marines in Afghanistan who two of their own had
been slaughtered by the Taliban, and they captured the guys
who had done it. Well, they shot and killed the
guys who had done it, and then they urinated on
their bodies, and charges were brought against those guys. Charges
(13:22):
were brought against those guys who, in a fit of
peak anger, frustration, their mate, their buddy, their brother had
been murdered, and in war, they pede on the guys
who had done it, and our United States military brought
charges against them for that. You think you're going to
(13:46):
get the rank and file to say that they don't
want Trump protecting this country when they have gone abroad
and fought for this country. See, that is the idea
of the left is we fight for Ukraine, not for Americans.
We fight for Afghanistan not for Americans. We fight for
(14:07):
Iraq not for Americans. We send our troops to Vietnam
to fight their war, or Korea, but we don't defend
our own people. That's sickening. Here's what she said.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
First of all, time for everyone who is in the
military to speak up, especially those powerful retired generals and
for stars that are in a position.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
To speak out. It might be a good time.
Speaker 8 (14:34):
For the veterans that are Republicans that serving Congress to
find their voice. You know, I'm talking about you, Jony Ernst,
I'm talking about you, Tom Cotton, I'm talking about you,
Lindsey Graham. I'm talking about the chairman of the Armed
Services Committee, Roger Wicker. You know, this is a terrible
thing to happen in our country. And here's outside to
be a winner, nicol if people remain peaceful. If they
(14:57):
remain peaceful, then the visuals of this are going to
be jarring to the American people to see military deployed
and standing there threatening these full Americans. They are letting
their opinions be nun That won't work politically for Donald Trump.
And that's the key here is we all have to
emphasize how important it is that people who are violent
(15:20):
and immediately be arrested and prosecuted, and that the vast
majority of people who engage in these protests must remain
committed to being peaceful, because if they.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Do, this will be a big.
Speaker 8 (15:31):
Political loser for Donald Trump.
Speaker 11 (15:33):
Listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast is sexy be sexy.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
In a completely random story, although it's tangentially related to this,
a state representative in Minnesota named Cowley Vange or Wong Viang.
She told their assembly their legislature that she is in
the country illegally. Listen to this.
Speaker 12 (16:00):
Mother had died, My father as the one processing the paperwork,
put my grandmother down as his mother, and so I
am illegal in this country. My parents are illegal here
in this country.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
So we've got a Rachel Dolosol situation perhaps where someone
who is not illegally in the country is claiming to
be an illegal alien. Because remember when you put people
up on a pedestal, others want to be that. When
you make trainees the greatest incarnat and then get you
(16:35):
induce people to training hood. When you make blacks the highlight,
they are the oppressed, which is the greatest, you'll have
the Rachel Dolahsol's. You'll have Sean White or whatever the
guy's name is. You'll have other people pretending they're black
in an effort to be that celebrated oppressed person. She's
(16:59):
a state rep in Minnesota announcing that she's in the
country illegally. Play that again, please, Remont.
Speaker 12 (17:08):
Because his mother had died. My father, as the one
processing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother,
and so I am illegal in this country. My parents
are illegal here in this country.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Then somebody got to her and said, hey, I realized
you're just a stolen baller case here, but uh, that
could end up causing you some problems. So she later
clarified following her floor speech that both she and her
parents are US citizens. In an interview with Newsweek magazine,
(17:43):
the Democrat explained that her parents completed the naturalization process
and she became a citizen while she was still in
middle school. Play that again, please Romon, because.
Speaker 12 (17:56):
His mother had died, My father, as the ons is
seeing the paperwork, put my grandmother down as his mother,
and so I am illegal in this country. My parents
are illegal here in this country.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
So she gave the following statement, It is incredibly disheartening
that my floor speech, where I shared my family's deeply
personal immigration story was twisted into anti immigrant clickbait. Let
me be absolutely clear, my parents are citizens, and so
(18:36):
am I. Nobody's twisting anything. You said that you're an
illegal alien. You said it, we didn't. And now someone
is twisting what you say. No, actually not at all.
(18:58):
Gavin Newsom was on Fox eleven in Los Angeles and
we've played this before, but I want you to hear it,
and he says that President Trump, this is four h
three or mote. He says, if President Trump wants a
civil war in the streets, I play this because we
need it for the next two bits this thing develops.
Go ahead, these.
Speaker 13 (19:16):
Guys, these idiots, they're jumping up on cars that are burning,
these weymos, these people.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
That's a disgrace. And the impact they're having.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
On our democracy, there's a lot at risk here. I mean,
this is not just a simple act of disabete as.
They should be arrested, they should be held accountable anyone
who attacks any innocent person, including a law enforcement person
that's lawfully doing their job. They're members of our community
just like everybody else. They go to the same churches,
they're good human beings. And just because we don't like
Donald Trump, just because we don't like their orders, doesn't
(19:47):
mean you have the right to hurt or harm people.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
And that goes for them as well.
Speaker 13 (19:51):
And we'll hold up everybody to a higher level of accountability.
But that's not what Trump is after. He's not for
peace making. He's here for war. He wants a civil
war on the streets.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
So Gavin Newsom would not send in the National Guard
because he wasn't allowed to by his overlords because they
needed to maximize the devastation. So the President had to
call up the National Guard himself, the first time since
nineteen sixty five a president has called up the National
Guard when that state's governor didn't. That was during the
Civil Rights movement. So he wouldn't call up the National
(20:25):
Guard to protect Los Angeles, which again is burning. But
on January fourteenth, twenty twenty one, he deployed one thousand
National Guard members to protect the California state capital from
insurrectionists in the week leading up to Joe Biden's inauguration.
(20:48):
This was pure theater. There was no insurrection, there was
no threat. He was using the National Guard and sending
them in as a way of saying that Trump's supporters
were violent, which they weren't.
Speaker 11 (21:04):
Let me be clear, there will be no tolerance for violence.
That's why today, along with the CHP and Office of
Emergency Services, I've activated the California National Guard to support
the CHP to enhance security with an initial deployment of
up to one thousand Guard members to protect critical state infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
In and around the state capitol.
Speaker 11 (21:24):
Also, today we're standing up temporary security perimeter around the Capitol.
We'll of course share additional information and additional measures that
we're taking in the coming days. But let me be clear,
what we witness in our nation's capital was an undemocratic
and unconscionable assault on our republic and the freedoms upon
which our nation was founded. California will take every necessary
(21:45):
measure to protect public safety and our democratic principles and
to ensure that those disgraceful actions are not repeated here.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Oh so you use the National Guard where there is
no threat, but refuse the National Guard where they're burning
Los Angeles down. Later that same year, he did it again.
He sent armed law enforcement to shut down a Christian
preschool because they refuse to mask two year olds.
Speaker 14 (22:21):
Jada, California came here with arm law enforcement and shut
down our preschool hundred kids.
Speaker 1 (22:27):
We had just.
Speaker 14 (22:27):
Applied to add another fifty, and they shut us down
because we weren't putting masks on two and three year olds.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Because they weren't putting masks on two and three year olds.
You ever tried to ever watch the kid two and
three years old? They panic, they feel claustrophobic in the
mask don't work. President Trump was asked if Tom Holman
should arrest Gavin Newsom, and this was his response, Tom
holmil become in a record. Did he do it?
Speaker 8 (23:02):
I would do it if I word I did you
play foot stab It like the probity.
Speaker 13 (23:06):
But I think.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
He's done a terrible job.
Speaker 1 (23:11):
He's I like the happens.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
He's the night staff, and he's mostly in confidence.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Everybody knows. All you have to do is look at
the little railroad in his building. It's about a hundred
times over budget. We're putting a flagpole over there under budget.
I always do.
Speaker 7 (23:26):
Intel tell you.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
About the people caused all the problems. You know they are?
They are they people I've been trying to deport. Are
they perfectful acted?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
The people that are causing the problem are professional agitators.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
They're insurrected. This step ads people. They should be in jail.
You haven't knew some as clearly panicked because he has
been saying to Trump, yeah, yeah, go ahead and in
arrest me doing his Braer, his best brayer rabbit. But
I think he's scared. I do think he's scared. She
was twelve, I was thirty. But it was wonderful to
(24:04):
have you, mister President. The Michael Arry Show. Do you
remember Bread of Buber? She was the little teenager being
used by her father who spoke at the United Nation's
Climate summit in twenty nineteen. She was, all of a sudden,
the premier scientist on the issue of global warming.
Speaker 15 (24:30):
For more than thirty years, the science has been crystal clear.
How dare you continue to look away and come here
saying that you're doing enough when the politics and solutions
needed are still nowhere in sight. You say you hear
us and that you understand the urgency. But no matter
(24:51):
how sad and angry I am, I do not want
to believe that, because if you really understood the situation
and still kept on failing to act, that you would
be evil, and that I refuse to believe.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Good grief.
Speaker 5 (25:11):
It's like it's like how Hamas uses the human shields
of children and women as they hide behind them and
engage in nefarious activities.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
Well, she was part of a flotilla bringing aid to
Gaza or so they said. But when her yacht was
stopped by the Israeli defense forces, she was deforced, she
was deported, She wasn't bringing aid. What they called the
aid was the food supplies they themselves were eating. She
called it a kidnapping because that's what her daddy told
(25:43):
her to tell her to say. President Trump was asked
if he had a message for the little nut job.
Do you have a message for Greta Tunberg? And did
she come up on your call with the Prime Minister today.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
Well, she's a strange person. She's a young, angry person.
I don't know if it's real anger so hard to believe.
Actually I saw what happened. Uh, she's certainly different anger management.
I think she has to go to an anger management class.
Do you think my primary recommendation was.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
She kidnapped by Israel? As she says, I find it.
Speaker 6 (26:17):
I think Israel has enough problems with that kidnapping g Retathunberg.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Just remember this, of all the Democrats and media members
telling you that Trump caused all the problems, that it
was Trump who did everything the violence. He's attempting to
stop the violence with federal response. The violence preceded any
(26:42):
involvement he had and was only what provoked him to
try to protect the people. Let's go back a few
days ago to LA Police Chief Jim McDonald, before any
National Guard had been called up, before anything had been done.
This is what was happening. Listen to the LA Police
Department Chief Jim McDonald, who reports to the mayor there,
(27:05):
whose job it was to protect the people there. Listen
to this. We saw the first night was bad.
Speaker 16 (27:12):
What we've seen subsequent to that is getting increasingly worse
and more violent.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
Tonight, we had individuals.
Speaker 16 (27:18):
Out there shooting commercial grade fireworks at our officers that
can kill you. And we have adapted our tactics to
be able to have a chance, to be able to
take these people into custody and to be able.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
To hold them accountable.
Speaker 16 (27:31):
We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people
out there engaged in this type of activity and the
type of things that they're doing. They'll take backpacks and
the backpack will have a cinder block in it. They
have a hammer, and they'll break up the cinder block
and use that pass it around to throw at officers,
to throw at cars, and throw at other people. We've
seen people with hammers, and you've broadcasted breaking the ballards
(27:55):
behind the Federal building and taken the rocks, if you will,
or pieces of concrete and throw on them ad officers.
We've had liquid who knows what description throwing at officers.
There's no limit to what they're doing to our officers.
And again, as I mentioned in my statement, I can't
thank our folks enough and our partner agency police officials
(28:17):
for going out there and taking care of the community.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
We've now received yet a third national, a third story
related in a very short period of time, a matter
of days of a Chinese national working at an American
university being charged with smuggling biological material into the United
States in one week alone. They are preparing an attack
(28:44):
on us. How many times does this have to happen.
They're all Chinese nationals, They're all attempting to destroy our
food supply. Let's start with clip number two from Fox News.

Le FBI director Cash Mattel called this a direct threat
to dash SO security end quote. This case is a
sobering reminder that the Chinese Communist Party continues to deploy
operatives and researchers to infiltrate our institutions. And target our
food supply and act that could cripple our economy and
endanger American lives. Federal prosecutors who charged the Chinese couple,
(29:18):
Young Chichian and zanjug Liu, was smuggling a dangerous biological pathogen.

where customs officials found a fungus stashed in his backpack,
one prosecutors call a potential agro terrorism weapon. They say
Leo wanted to conduct research on it at the University
of Michigan, where his girlfriend, Jion worked. The FBI says
(29:40):
it searched Gion's phone and found a form describing her
membership in and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party, and
that she previously tried smuggling this same.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Substance in the United States.
Speaker 17 (29:51):
As some Republicans say, the US should prohibit any foreign
national affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party from getting a
student visa. The University of Michigan says it's co operating
with law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
End quote.
Speaker 17 (30:01):
We strongly condemn any actions that seek to cause harmed
threat national security. It is important to note that the
university has received no funding from the Chinese government in
relation to research conducted by the accused individuals. Gian is
in federal custody depending on hearing tomorrow afternoon.

complaint filed in court, Han allegedly sent four packages to
people associated with a UFM lab. She arrived at Detroit
(30:59):
Metro Airport yesterday, where she was stopped by US Customs
and Border Protection officers. During questioning, she initially denied sending
those packages, but later admitted to the accusation. Today, in court,
Han was accompanied by a Mandarin Chinese translator. The judge
read Han her rights, and she opted to be assigned
a court appointed attorney for the proceedings. When asked if
(31:22):
she understood the charges, Han responded in English, Yes, I understand.
Last week two other Chinese nationals were in court facing
similar charges. The Chinese consulate based in Chicago says it's.

In a statement, they say the Chinese government has always
required Chinese nationals overseas to strictly observe a local laws
and regulations, including the entry and exit regulations, while resolutely
protecting their legitimate and lawful rights and interests in accordance
with the law. China firmly opposes the US side making
(31:57):
political manipulation on related case, says under the pretext of
ideology and overstretched national security.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
When President Trump talks tough, when China understand this isn't
just a trade war. Look at how many times they
have bribed people. Look at the spies they put with
Eric Swalwell, Diane Feinstein's driver, the bribes to the Biden family,
and we continue to allow it. How many Chinese nationals
are doing that in this country and to continue to
(32:29):
do so, and how long will we allow it to continue.
