1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Tutor Dixon Podcast. We've got a lot 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: of news to get to. We have Gordon Chang with us. 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: He is the author of the new book Plan Read 4 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,560 Speaker 1: China's Project to Destroy America. It comes out October first, 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: and it's very fitting timing because we're talking about a 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 1: few things today that have to do with One has 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: to do with China, and the other has to do 8 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: with something that is happening in Michigan that I think 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: resembles Mao's revolution in China and what we could be 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: seeing in America if we're not careful. And so I 11 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: want to say thank you, thank you Gordon for coming on. 12 00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: I'm really excited to talk to you about this. 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Tutor. I'm excited to talk to you, 14 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 2: so thank you. 15 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: The reason I want to talk to you about what's 16 00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: happening in Michigan is because when I talk about it, 17 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: people go, oh, gosh, don't overreact, and I don't think 18 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: that we're overreacting. So we had the Democrats cut to 19 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: the school safety budget when the budget came out in July, 20 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: and it was approved by the governor in the fall. 21 00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: This this is a new supplemental to the budget and 22 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: so this new supplemental to the budget includes school safety, 23 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: which was ironic that the Democrats talk about how important 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: school safety is, but they cut that from the budget, 25 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: and I wonder if it was so that they could 26 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: slide this in. So in this newest budget they have 27 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: a million dollars for what we're calling a snitch line. 28 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: They want students to call on this line if their 29 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: parents have an unsecured gun. So last year they and 30 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,840 Speaker 1: this may have just gone into effect this year. I 31 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: believe it just went into effect at the beginning of 32 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: this year. There's a new law in Michigan. If you 33 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: have an unsecured gun, you could face criminal charges, and 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: especially if that gun then goes off and ends up 35 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: hurting someone because it was unsecured, you were then responsible. 36 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 1: So we have these secure storage laws. This has not 37 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: really been advertised to the people of Michigan. So instead 38 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: they are doing this in schools. They're creating a curriculum, 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: a curriculum around tattling on your parents. If your parents 40 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: have this gun, call this line, tell on your parents. 41 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: Have you ever seen anything like. 42 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 2: This before, Well, yes, this is Communist China. Maozatung, the 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 2: founder of the People's Republic realized that in order for 44 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: him to create loyalty to himself and to the Communist Party, 45 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,679 Speaker 2: he needed to break the bonds of the family, and 46 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 2: so he was relentless in doing that. And something like 47 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 2: a snitch line is is very much along that line. Now, 48 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: Mao actually did get his In schools, they forced kids 49 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 2: to talk about their parents, to snitch on them. They 50 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 2: did the same thing with wives against husbands, husbands against wives, 51 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: everybody in society to break the bonds of the family. 52 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: See Van Fleet, who lived in China during the Cultural Revolution. 53 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 2: That was that decade from nineteen sixty six to nineteen 54 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: seventy six, the most abnormal time in Chinese history. This 55 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: was a time where the Communist Party tried to destroy 56 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: old society, as they said, but what they really were 57 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 2: trying to do was to destroy civilization. And so ce 58 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 2: van Fleet talks about this and says she sees the 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: same things happening in her America today that she saw 60 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: during the Cultural Revolution. 61 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: And I think that I don't actually think that the 62 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: lawmakers that are doing this have this malicious intent right now. 63 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: I think that, for lack of a better term, they're 64 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: the useful idiots in this situation where people are like, oh, hey, 65 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: let's influence these these progressives because they want it sounds nice, 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: it sounds nice. These kids are going to keep people safe. 67 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: We're going to rely on the kids. But look, this 68 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: is what's happening in Michigan and other states, I mean 69 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: New York and Iowa. I've seen other states that have 70 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: these laws now where I can't even see my child's 71 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: medical records after the age of twelve because the child's 72 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: in control. The child has to sign it over to 73 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: me and let me know certain things about their medical records, 74 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: but I can't be involved in medical decisions. Now. You 75 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: have actual curriculum in school that, like you're saying, and 76 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: this is what I said yesterday, this is to break 77 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: the bonds of family. It is to break families up, 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: to to pit people against each other. But what does 79 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: this do to even the mental health of the children. 80 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: Because I can imagine as a child or my own 81 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: girls now, who are at these ages fifteen, thirteen, and eleven, 82 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: that if they were to sit through a course that 83 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: said mom and dad might be breaking the law. You're 84 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: the only ones that can tell the law that mom 85 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 1: and dad have done something. So naughty. What kind of 86 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: pressure does that put on kids? Where does society? How 87 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: does society break down after all of this? 88 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly does, because you know, people may say, well, 89 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: this is only because of unsecured weapons, but really this 90 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: starts society down a long road, and we know where 91 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: that road ends, and it ends in the state demanding 92 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 2: obedience from everybody above all else. So this is exceedingly dangerous, 93 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 2: and especially you know you talk about the medical records 94 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: of kids that parents can't see. It again, something to 95 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: break the bonds of family. So we know that this 96 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: ends in totalitarianism. And I know people will say, oh, 97 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: that's really a big step and going too far, but 98 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 2: no it isn't because that's how things were done in 99 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 2: communist China, and so we got to stop it before 100 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: it begins. 101 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: Well, I have a nurse who was telling me that 102 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: because of this situation, she has kids who have to 103 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: make their own medical decisions. So she said, I have 104 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: high school kids that come into my office who have 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,239 Speaker 1: an STD that must be treated. She said, they don't 106 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: want to have that on their insurance because it'll go 107 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: to their parents' insurance. But I can't tell the parents 108 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: they have a problem. It has to be treated. So 109 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: I have kids that aren't getting care. You can see 110 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: how that, over time would break down to I just 111 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 1: need someone else to take care of this. And I 112 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: think that's what we've been teaching the next generation is 113 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 1: kind of like, don't talk to your parents, don't rely 114 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: on your own expertise in this area, go to the government. 115 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: The government will take care of you. And ultimately I 116 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 1: see a generation of young people who are giving themselves 117 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: over in such a trusting way to the government. Well, 118 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: the government will pay my bills, the government will take 119 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: care of me. We've never been the country that's thought 120 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: this way. So when I see a bill like this, 121 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: which I like, I said, a lot of these lawmakers 122 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: who are making these bills are much younger than me. 123 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: Is there some sort of an influence in some of 124 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: our state legislatures coming from communist China or coming from 125 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: communist areas, because I know that was something Reagan warned 126 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 1: against with the Soviet Union, Like, you've got to be 127 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: aware they're infiltrating the United States. They want to come here. 128 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: Are we being naive that there are already forces here 129 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: convincing people to do this? 130 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: Well, there are and We can see this in the 131 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: Democratic Party in New York State. The Democratic Party in 132 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: that state has looked at Chinese Americans as a rich 133 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,039 Speaker 2: source of votes. Chinese Americans in that state have very 134 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: troubling ties to the Communist Party's United Front Work department. 135 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 2: That's the part of the party that subverts foreign governments 136 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 2: and front organizations have completely infiltrated New York State, but 137 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: especially New York City, and that's why we're seeing, for instance, 138 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: the prosecution of London Sun, who is the advisor to 139 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: Governor Clomo and the current governor, Kathy Hokel. We're also 140 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: witnessing right now prosecutions of foreign influence in the City 141 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 2: of New York, where the mayor has just been indicted 142 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: for his connections with Turkey. Foreign governments realize that they 143 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: need to have a friend in the United States, and 144 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: they're willing to pay large sums of money and use 145 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 2: other forms of influence, including intimidation. So yes, Communist Party 146 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: uses every point of contact to take down our society, 147 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: and it is with for instance, this ghost in your 148 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 2: state and Illinois, they will use that to influence legislators. 149 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: There are already allegations of corruption that Goshen tried to 150 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 2: buy local officials in your state, Tutor. They have yet 151 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 2: to be proven because they've just been revealed. But this 152 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: is really going to show the depth of penetration of 153 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 2: the Communist Party into local politics in the state of Michigan. 154 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: No, you make a great point. I think it's something 155 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: we've been just mostly concerned with. Gosh, do we have 156 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: corrupt local officials, But the corruption goes deeper because it's 157 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: been the brainchild of communists China to come in and 158 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: say we can buy local people. And again, you have 159 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: a situation where here we had the local township trustee. 160 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: His property was part of the property that they wanted 161 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: to buy. They gave him two million dollars for property 162 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: that was worth less than one hundred and fifty thousand. 163 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: He was never going to see that kind of money 164 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,080 Speaker 1: for his property in the state of Michigan outside of 165 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: a Ghoshen coming in and saying, hey, we'll buy this, 166 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: but you've got to vote for it. And we don't 167 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: know that that conversation actually happened, but they bought it, 168 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: and then he continued to vote to move the project through. 169 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: That is classic, a classic sign of corruption. Right, You're 170 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: getting two million dollars, you're voting on behalf of the people. 171 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: You're telling them this is safe. There's no environmental review. 172 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: That's the other thing that has been concerning to me. 173 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: These products are coming in, not only being used, not 174 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: only is slave labor being used in China to bring 175 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: some of these products in that will make the batteries. So, 176 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: first of all, we still we have a problem with 177 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: supporting slavery if this company comes to Michigan. But then 178 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 1: what are the dangers of the manufacturing process Because China 179 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 1: doesn't manufacture things the way we do. They're not cleaning 180 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: like we are. Why are we trusting this company to 181 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: come into our state onto our watershed? 182 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 2: Yes, you know, and we have seen these companies come 183 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 2: in ignore, completely violate environmental rules and destroy the communities 184 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 2: in which they have built their facilities. And they'll try 185 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 2: and do the same thing in Michigan and Illinois if 186 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 2: the local residents let them. But the good news is 187 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 2: that there's probably nothing. So your worst enemy is a 188 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: local resident in the state of Michigan and in the 189 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: state of Illinois. But clearly Goshen. Goshen makes these batteries. 190 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 2: Almost every battery that is made in China is made 191 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 2: with forced labor. Now the Goshen says, well, we're going 192 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 2: to build these batteries in Michigan. Well, they're going to 193 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 2: build them from components from China, which are themselves the 194 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 2: product of forced and slave labor. The terrifiction, the US 195 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:53,079 Speaker 2: Terrifact of nineteen thirty, prohibits the importation into the US 196 00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 2: of goods made with forced or slave labor. So there's 197 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 2: a lot that we can do to stop this, but 198 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: we can't stop it if officials have been bought off, 199 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: and clearly that has been the case in Michigan. 200 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: Well, I think that needs to be examined. And that's 201 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, we've heard Donald Trump come out and say 202 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: that he wants to be aware of what's coming in. 203 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: He's talked about tariffs. But I do think that there 204 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: is an argument for looking at some American companies that 205 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: are in China and vice versa, and how the labor 206 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,880 Speaker 1: is being used. Because you don't go to China because 207 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: it's convenient to get your products from China. You go 208 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: to China because it's cheap, and if people get out 209 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: of line, they get killed. I mean, that's quite I 210 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: hate to say that, but it's you're safe if you're 211 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: a business there because it is a communist country where 212 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: there is no funny business people are scared to death. 213 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: They live in fear, there is slave labor. They love 214 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: the fact that they can get cheap labor that is 215 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 1: forced to live in dormitories. And that bothers me that 216 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: American companies are over there and there is no one 217 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: in DC going I love my iPhone, but is my 218 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: iPhone being made in the most positive way possible? Are 219 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: we using slave labor in some of these products? And 220 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: you know who knows. I'm not saying that we are, 221 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: but I'm saying there are definite reasons to look at 222 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: some of these companies when we talk about bringing America 223 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 1: First back. Maybe it's not even bringing those companies back 224 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: to the United States. But why are we in an 225 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: enemy country? You can't even say it nicely. These people 226 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: are evil, They're enemies. 227 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. The Communist Party is evil. And we 228 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 2: know that cgmping is responsible for killing more people than 229 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 2: any other living figure. And it's not just killing, its murder. So, 230 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 2: for instance, seventy five thousand Americans each year die from 231 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 2: doses of illicit Chinese fentanyl. Fentanyl is not the product 232 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 2: of just merely criminal gangs. It is a project run 233 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: by the Communist Party, which fully supports the sale of 234 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: all and they do it because they want to weaken America. So, yes, 235 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: the Party is evil. We should not allow it in 236 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: the United States. We should make sure that the Goshian 237 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,719 Speaker 2: plant in Michigan and the Goshan plant in Illinois are 238 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: not completed, because we must not allow the products of 239 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 2: genocide into our country. 240 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 241 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. People in the United States feel 242 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 1: like China so far away they can't really hurt us. 243 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: It shocks me because after the pandemic, people were like, what, 244 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: oh my goodness, my peloton is made in China. My 245 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 1: antibiotics are made in China. And I'm like, and some 246 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 1: of your military equipment is made in China, Like, we 247 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: have to get out of China. They feel like it's 248 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: so far away that it's not a threat. But we 249 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: saw that balloon go over the United States. We know 250 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: they took pictures of our our military basis, they took 251 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: pictures of nuclear They went through the entire country and 252 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: had free reign because Joe Biden was napping or something, 253 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: and we don't know exactly what was going on that 254 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: he decided to just allow this balloon to continue. And 255 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: then they say, oh, don't worry, it didn't get to China, 256 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: as if it's not sending everything back in real time. 257 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: This is the thing that is surprising to me that 258 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: Americans are not more concerned that in the last four 259 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: years we have had more Chinese nationals across the border 260 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: than we'd ever seen in the history of border crossings 261 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: in the United States. What is going on? The people 262 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: are not recognizing the threat that China is because for years, 263 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: even when Donald Trump was in office, we had the 264 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: FBI saying China's the biggest threat. Still today, China's the 265 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: biggest threat. Why is this not taken seriously. 266 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: Well, it's because the President of the United States has 267 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 2: not had a candid conversation with the American people in tutor. 268 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 2: In August of last year, Biden gave a private talk 269 00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: to Democratic Party fundraisers in Salt Lake City, which the 270 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 2: transcript has now come out, and he was very candid 271 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: about China in terms that were warnings. But Biden has 272 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: not had that conversation with the American people themselves, he 273 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: has not warned them about what is happening. Sigemping talks 274 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: about going to war all the time. Sigeanping is prepared 275 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 2: to go to war against the United States. Now we 276 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 2: know that from what he's doing in the South China 277 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 2: Sea against the Philippines. And yet we have a political 278 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: class in our country, which is you know, not just 279 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 2: Democrats but also Republicans that refuses to get our country 280 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 2: prepared for what is obviously coming. You know, as John F. 281 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 2: Kennedy famously said, you know England slept in the nineteen thirties, 282 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 2: Well we're the ones who are sleeping now because Sigmping 283 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 2: is making fast preparations to go out and kill foreigners, 284 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 2: and we're in his target, We're in the crosshairs. So 285 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: this is just an abrogation of President Biden's most fundamental 286 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 2: constitutional duty, which is to protect the American people from 287 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: foreign attack. 288 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: When I talked to lawmakers, and I'm talking about on 289 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: the local level, but also when we talk to folks 290 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: out in DC, they're like, you know, China doesn't want 291 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: to hurt the United States because we're the biggest customer 292 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: when it makes sense for them, we're buying all the 293 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: stuff they rely on. The United States. But it's interesting 294 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: because you make the point he has a military mindset 295 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: and he's not like us, and in that culture is 296 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: not like ours. I think we assume that every culture 297 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: is just like us. It is not. The United States 298 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: is very unique. Someone said to me yesterday, this is 299 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: a terrible way of putting this, but he said, you know, honestly, 300 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: when what people don't understand is that wealthy in America 301 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: is the best life you can live, and poor in 302 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: America is still better than poor any place else because 303 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: every other country is so different from ours. And it 304 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: struck me because I thought, you know, we just don't 305 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: realize how dangerous other countries are, how different that society is. 306 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: And I spoke to one of the generals that was 307 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: in place when Donald Trump was in office, and I 308 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: won't say who it is, but definitely a high up general. 309 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,959 Speaker 1: And he said, I said, well, exactly what I've heard 310 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: other people say. Well, China wouldn't want to hurt us, though, 311 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: because they need us. And he said, see, you think 312 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: of it like like an American would think of it. 313 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: He said, he's a dictator. He wants to control everything. 314 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 1: He does not consider that he will take it over 315 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: and we will still be a customer of his. He 316 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: doesn't care if we are Americans or he takes this 317 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: country over. He wants to rule the world. And I 318 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: was like, wow, huh, that is something I don't think 319 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: about because I am a spoiled American. 320 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: Well. Sijan thing has been pushing the imperial era notion 321 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 2: that the heaven requires the Chinese ruler to rule the 322 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 2: entire planet, and since twenty seventeen, Chinese officials have been 323 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 2: talking about the moon in Mars is sovereign Chinese territory. 324 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 2: So cjmping is not competing with us within the existing 325 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 2: international system, as Biden always says, he's not even trying 326 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 2: to change that system. He's trying to overthrow it all together. 327 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 2: And there's another thing that's a component of this, which 328 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: you raise when you say, you know, people will tell 329 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: us or people will think that China won't destroy a customer. 330 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 2: The Communist Party believes the United States is an existential threat. 331 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 2: They believe that not because of anything we say or do, 332 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: but because of who we are. An insecure ruling regime 333 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: in Beijing is worried about the inspirational impact of America's 334 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: values and form of governance on the Chinese people. So 335 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 2: the Communist Party believes it will never be safe as 336 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 2: long as the United States exists. So we have to 337 00:18:55,520 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 2: understand what the Chinese are actually saying. In May nineteen 338 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 2: Tutor People's Daily, which is the most authoritative publication in China, 339 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 2: ran a landmark editorial that declared a quote unquote people's 340 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,920 Speaker 2: war on the US. People's war in Communist Party thought, 341 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 2: is total war, and that means we Americans are not 342 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 2: paying attention to what the communist regime is telling us. 343 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 2: That means, even though China is a far weaker society 344 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,959 Speaker 2: than ours, we can lose our country because we're not 345 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 2: defending ourselves. 346 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: I think what people don't understand is that the Chinese 347 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: people don't know what America is. They don't get to know. 348 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 1: People think that like we have this freedom of travel 349 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: and hearing about places on TV and freedom to surf 350 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: the internet, the Chinese people do not have that. They 351 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: have very little freedom. I remember when I was in 352 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: college and I met I was traveling and I met 353 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: a young guy from Russia and he and his wife 354 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: were there and they were telling my husband and I 355 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: that she she had been a nanny and she was 356 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: from France. He was from Russia. She had been a 357 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: nanny in Colorado, and she said, I want to take 358 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: you back to Colorado to meet the family that I nannied. 359 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: And he was like, how could you ever step foot 360 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: in that country? It's so dirty and disgusting, and everybody's 361 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: poor and they live such horrible lives. She was like, 362 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And he said, you have 363 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: to understand. In Russia, as a kid, we were told 364 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: that America was so horrible, you know. So if you 365 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: think that you're going to go over to China and 366 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 1: be loved and revered, these people know nothing about you. 367 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: There's no connection, and they have their lives, are not 368 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: valued by their own government. It's kind of funny to 369 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: me because I see it sort of as this, when 370 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 1: you see these queers for Palestine. Americans think every culture 371 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: is the same, but we're not. And you can't just say, oh, 372 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: China is so thankful that we exist. We're friends. We're 373 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: not friends. They don't like us, they're not there's this 374 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: society is not like us, and it's not because the 375 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: citizens are bad. It's because they have a dictator who 376 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: is a murderist dictator. 377 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 2: Yes, and Sijnping has established a near total or total 378 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 2: surveillance state. They control all media. They do control what 379 00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 2: the Chinese people here. But you know, the Chinese people 380 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 2: right now are opting out of the communist system because 381 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: they realize it is failing, and that's why we have 382 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: so many migrants coming across our borders. But among those 383 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: people who want to live in a free society are 384 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 2: those Communist Party agents or agents or operatives of the 385 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 2: People's Liberation Army, and they're coming here to wage war 386 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 2: on the United States. You know, in Reedley, California, an 387 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: Alert building inspector found a secret Chinese biological weapons facility 388 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 2: which had at least twenty pathogens and almost a thousand 389 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 2: mice that have been genetically engineered to spread disease. And 390 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 2: that facility in Redley could not be the only one 391 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 2: in the United States. So China intends to wage war 392 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 2: on America from American soil. And this will be the 393 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: first time since the War of eighteen twelve that we 394 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 2: Americans will have to fight an enemy in our own homeland. 395 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: It will be a much different enemy than we've ever seen. 396 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,239 Speaker 1: I mean when you say that about biological weapons, the 397 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 1: weapons that are out there now are nothing like we've 398 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: ever seen. And I think that's why the hot air 399 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: balloon or the spy balloon, whatever it was, was so 400 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: terrifying because Americans who knew understood this balloon could drop bombs, 401 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: it could be pollute, it could be dropping viruses. There's 402 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: any number of things that a balloon from another country 403 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: of that size, and I think people some people mistake 404 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: it as thinking this was something small. It't like the 405 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: size of three school buses floating over your state. Anything 406 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 1: could have come from this balloon, and our president didn't 407 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: bother to keep us safe. It was shocking. 408 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 2: It was shocked. You know, that balloon passed over America's 409 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 2: nuclear weapon sites, all three of our intercontinental ballistic missile 410 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 2: fields to Strategic Command headquarters in Omaha, as well as 411 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 2: the home of all of our B two strategic bombers, 412 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 2: white Man Air Force Base in Missouri. So they were 413 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 2: preparing the United States for a nuclear weapons attack. But 414 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 2: what was the most frightening thing about that was how 415 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 2: bold the Chinese were to think that they could float 416 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 2: that object over our country and they had the right 417 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 2: to do that. That shows you the mentality of the Chinese. 418 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 2: If you saw the sixty minutes segment a week ago 419 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 2: where the crew, the CBS crew was on a Philippine 420 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 2: Coastguard vessel and the Chinese rammed it. The Chinese had 421 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: to know the CBS crew was there and they rammed 422 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 2: it anyway, which shows you a different and new mentality 423 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 2: on the part of China. That's a war signal tutor, 424 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: and we're getting a lot of them recently. 425 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: That's what we keep talking about because not only did 426 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,959 Speaker 1: we have this balloon that went over the country and 427 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: was looking at the nuclear sites to your point, and 428 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: not only looking at them getting exact locations. You know, 429 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: when you have when you are scanning the globe like that, 430 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: you have the exact location of where you want to attack, 431 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: how you can weaken the United States. But you also 432 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,760 Speaker 1: looked at the fact that Joe Biden has decided to 433 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: step down when he came out and did his national 434 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: address that he's stepping out of the race for president. 435 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: We had China and Russia fly together for the first 436 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: time ever. I mean, isn't that another. 437 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 2: Sign Yes, well, that flight of for nuclear capable bombers 438 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 2: two from Russia and two from China near Alaska. Is 439 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,159 Speaker 2: just another indication that they're pressuring us. And that's not 440 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: the only joint Chinese Russian exercise near Alaska. China and 441 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 2: Russia are exercising almost continuously in East Asia, and that 442 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,119 Speaker 2: tells us that when war comes to East Asia and 443 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 2: there is an almost irresistible momentum toward that, that we'll 444 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: be fighting not just China, but Russia as well, and 445 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 2: probably North Korea. So this looks like the beginning of 446 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,919 Speaker 2: history's third grade conflict, and the Biden administration is doing 447 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 2: very little to stop it. You know, nothing's inevitable, but 448 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: the United States needs to take a stand to stop 449 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 2: what could be the world's greatest tragedy. 450 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: It's just interesting, though, I feel I hear very few 451 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: voices that are speaking out against this on both sides. 452 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: I don't hear a Republican saying, we want to know 453 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 1: what was recovered from that balloon, we want to know 454 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 1: what happened, we want to know what we're doing about 455 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: China and Russia and their connection. I just don't hear 456 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 1: people calling it out. It's not something that you even 457 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 1: hear much on the campaign trail. I've heard Donald Trump 458 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: talk about China being a threat, but it's like here 459 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: we have this elephant in the room and everybody is 460 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: looking the other way. 461 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 2: Well, you know, fortunately JD. Vans came to Michigan to 462 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 2: talk about the Goshen plant to oppose it, and that's 463 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 2: that's important. But you're right, during the debates and during 464 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: campaign speeches, you don't hear very much about foreign affairs 465 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 2: in general and China in particular. China is means to 466 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 2: take down our society. We need to have a national 467 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 2: conversation about that, and the best time to do that 468 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:25,440 Speaker 2: is during a campaign. 469 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 1: I had somebody asking me yesterday do you think that 470 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: China is excited about this war with Ukraine because it's 471 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: distracting the United States. Like, it's not only distracting, it's 472 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: taking weapons, it's taking money, of course, and we know 473 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 1: they're in bed with Russia. We also know that they've 474 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: been talking to Iran, so they have Iran bombing and 475 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,880 Speaker 1: sending money to terrorism Hamas Hasbala, all of these different organizations. 476 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: We're distracted with that, We're distracted with Ukraine. It's we're 477 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: in a very volatile worldwide situation right now, and I 478 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 1: think that's why so many people are like, are we 479 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: headed toward World War three? And can someone stop that? 480 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: And it's like a train that's rolling and no one's 481 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: stepping in front of it. We're all getting a little 482 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: bit nervous, But I'm glad we have you here to 483 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: talk about it. Tell us about your book, because I 484 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: think your book is warning us of some of what's 485 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: to come if China is left un dealt with. 486 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is it's plan. Read China's project to destroy America. 487 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 2: And I run through China's assault on our society, which 488 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 2: is they use every point of contact to take us down. 489 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 2: And we Americans have got to start talking about that 490 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 2: because this is the gravest challenge to the United States. 491 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 2: And at some point, if we don't start defending ourselves, 492 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 2: we will lose to China. We will lose our freedom, 493 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 2: we will lose our sovereignty, we will lose everything. 494 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 495 00:27:54,400 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. I see are some of our 496 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 1: governors and some of our legislators and even our representatives 497 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: in DC who have had connections to China and I 498 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,680 Speaker 1: think that they've felt safe, and I think that there's 499 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,639 Speaker 1: too much. Like I said, I buy this product from there, 500 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: I have this product from there, and there's a safety 501 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: in that there's not so much of a safety. And 502 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: the other thing that I will just say before I 503 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: let you go is one other thing that we found 504 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 1: is that when you talk about these rare earth minerals 505 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: that they're mining, they actually have very little groundwater that 506 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: is drinkable. I think ninety percent of their groundwater is polluted. 507 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 1: They've had entire towns where they've manufactured these products, and 508 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,360 Speaker 1: they've forced people to manufacture that have ended up with 509 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: forty percent cancer rates. There's a different level of caring 510 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: for life and safety that's coming to the United States, 511 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: and I think there's this push for everything to be 512 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 1: renewable resources and clean energy, and in the midst of that, 513 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 1: we're not recognizing the environmental threat if we look at 514 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: just whether we're not seeing what's happening on the ground. 515 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: We have to be careful all the way around. 516 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely, what's good for climate is horrible for the environment. 517 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 2: That's a trade off that climate activists don't talk. 518 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: About, and that directly goes into the glass of water. 519 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: Your child is drinking at the kitchen table. And that's 520 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: the thing that scares me, certainly scares people in Michigan. 521 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: We've already had drinking water problems once. We certainly don't 522 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: want them again. But Gordon Chang, thank you so much 523 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: for being on today and talking to us about this. 524 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 2: Oh well, thank you, Tutor.
