WEBVTT - TV: The Nuclear Superpowers 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.920 A late stage republic. We talk about that a lot 0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.560 as far as what we are as a nation, And 0:00:15.680 --> 0:00:17.840 let me explain a couple of things about being a 0:00:17.920 --> 0:00:21.160 late stage republic. As we talk about America like it's 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:23.760 gonna be a great special, we're gonna talk about us 0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:26.080 crumbling a bit, We're gonna talk about the other nations 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:28.880 who might take over for us at some point in time. 0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:30.880 But before we get into any of that, allow me 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.839 to just do this. Maybe as an American, maybe you 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:36.840 like me, and I admit I'm one of these people. 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.920 Maybe you look at what's happening in your country as 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:43.000 we begin to falter and fall, and you say to yourself, 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.720 I'm really bummed. I hate this. I don't want this. 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:48.000 That's fine that you feel that way. I'm glad you 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.479 feel that way. I feel that way. But you should 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:56.960 also understand this. It's the year twenty twenty three. Okay, 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:01.160 what does that mean? When the country start seventeen seventy six, 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.240 Where does that put us almost two hundred and fifty years? 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.800 Right about that two hundred and fifty year more, you 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:14.240 know how long Historically most significant empires last two to 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.120 three hundred years. That's about what you've got. Now, maybe 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:21.360 that doesn't make you feel better at all, but you 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.720 should know this is how it goes. What I'm about 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.760 to describe for you, this is how it always go. 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.680 You start out and things are good, and you have 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.360 good patriots and great people running the country, and the 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.720 country has a new idea, like we did, the idea 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.760 of freedom, and everyone loves it and they embrace it, 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:40.639 and we go all in. And then the country grows 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.280 and it's ambitious and things are going really well, and 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.080 things get going so well that you just get so 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:54.200 rich and so far removed from your founding that you 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:56.960 lose your way. And the people who want to pick 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.720 at the bones and tear your country down, they don't 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.040 like to your number one people inside your borders and 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.720 outside of your borders, which we'll talk about a bit tonight, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:10.320 they see an opportunity. They see a population that's fat, complacent, lazy, 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.600 board and just doesn't want to protect the thing they have, 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:20.120 and things just start rotting. Slowly, but surely they start rotting. 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:25.960 That's all you're seeing here. And now now we're probably 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.799 at the stage where things will pick up in pace 0:02:28.919 --> 0:02:31.360 a little bit. No, America is not going to fall tomorrow. 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.280 I'm not doing any of that doomsday stuff. But we're 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:38.679 at a place now where we have failed multiple times, 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.400 and we've failed on the world stage, and that in 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.760 and of itself, that is the problem. I've been doing 0:02:45.800 --> 0:02:47.400 a lot of reading lately, is we We'll get to 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:48.800 America in a second. But I've been doing a lot 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.360 of reading lately on Napoleon and his various conquests and whatnot. 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.680 And he's one of these historical characters that have a 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.880 real love hate relationship with He's so fascinating and talented 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:01.160 at the same time just horrible about something. But one 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.320 of the things I always find sad about the Napoleon 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.679 story every time I read it is there's this great 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.000 general and he's conquered so much and all these lands, 0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.720 and everyone's scared the death of him. But then towards 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:15.960 the end, towards the end, when he loses a battle 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:21.840 here there, they all just start coming for him. The 0:03:22.000 --> 0:03:24.440 second they see the king bleed a little bit, they 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:28.079 start coming for him, and from there it was already over. 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.959 That's what we are right now. Do you remember you 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:35.840 remember Afghanistan? Now, this building up to this moment took 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.520 a long time. I don't want to act like it 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.440 was just one singular moment that really that really brought 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.320 all this about. That would be a huge oversimplification. But 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:49.440 this was the moment the world found out, Oh man, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:04:13.200 we got a late stage republic over here. You see. 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:17.760 It's one thing to fail. It's one thing to embarrass yourself. 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:23.240 It's another thing to do it publicly. If I go 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.560 home tonight when I'm done doing the show for you, 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.200 and I walk in and I'm eating dinner, and I'm 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.239 walking around the house and I absently stubbed my toad, 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.359 and I stub it so bad I trip and fall 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.600 and bang my knee on the ground. Well that sucks, right, 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.320 that's not fun. That hurts a little bit of humiliating, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.560 but not that big of a deal. It's just me 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.480 at the house, maybe the wife and kids. If I, however, 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:46.400 have to go give a speech somewhere in front of 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.440 ten thousand people, and I do that when I'm walking 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.200 down on the stage, that's a whole different problem entirely. 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.640 It's one thing to have some embarrassing things happening within 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.359 the borders of your nation. It's another thing to have 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.720 each and every country on the planet look at their 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.440 tell vision screen and watch you stub your toe and 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.839 bang your knee and fall flat on your face and 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:10.360 embarrass yourself. Afghanistan, the disasters some draw that was America 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.800 sending the bat signal to the world that we ain't 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.680 what we used to be. I told you this back 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:20.480 in twenty twenty one. You should feel embarrassed on behalf 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:24.480 of your nation because we look terrible to the rest 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:25.800 of the world right now. There's not a way to 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:30.920 put it. This is in international international embarrassment. America has 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.720 been the global superpower for your entire lifetime, it has. 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.839 We took over that rule right about the end of 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:40.000 World War One. That's when we really became top dog, 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.359 and we've been top dog ever since. That's about one 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:47.960 hundred years. The world is looking right now and they're 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:53.159 asking are they still top dog? I mean, this is 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.000 not what the top dog does. This is what some 0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:01.960 fading power does. And what happened after that was done. 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.880 What happened Russia goes marching into Ukraine about fifteen minutes 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.960 after that happened. Now we're mired in a crappy war there, 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.839 and look, other nations know it. And again back to 0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:17.599 the Napoleon thing. This is one of the things I 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:19.920 notice every time I read about it, how they just 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.400 start they're trying to feel him out the other nations, 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.880 and they're trying to figure out is this the same 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:27.640 guy who never loses a battle? Am I about to 0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.200 lose here? And so what they really try to do 0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.160 is they start just poking them in the ribs a 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:34.960 little bit, just kind of just kind of like you'd 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.840 be with like a rabid dog you're trying to get 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.360 away from. Just kind of poke them with a stick 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.719 and back away. Is it gonna get me? Well, that's 0:06:40.720 --> 0:06:42.919 what they're doing with us right now, just trying to 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.600 feel us out, see what we're made of. Remember when 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.960 the Chinese sat down just doctor Joe Biden got elected, 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.240 sat down in front of the Secretary of State and 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.880 essentially told him, you ain't running things around here anymore. 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.800 So let me say here that in front of the 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.760 Chinese side, States does not have the qualification to say 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.560 that it wants to speak to China from a position 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:11.480 of strength. How you don't get to talk to us 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.960 from a position of strength. And maybe when you watch 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.800 that clip initially, maybe you were filled with this wait 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.920 a minute, Yes we do. I know. I was, hey, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:23.239 who do you think you are China? Maybe we were wrong. 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.720 Maybe we were wrong. After all, not only did they 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.840 just fly a spy balloon from coast to coast, from 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:35.200 the Pacific to Atlantic. Here in the United States of America. Embarrassingly, 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:38.360 the President of the United States met with the press 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.040 and said he wanted it shot down, but they told 0:07:41.040 --> 0:07:45.080 me no. Brief found the balloon. I order the Pentagon 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:48.360 to shoot it down on Wednesday as soon as possible. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:53.520 They decided, without doing damage to anyone on the ground, 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.800 They decided that the best time you do that was 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.160 got over water. I told them to shoot it down Wednesday. 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.840 I wanted the recommendation. They said to me. Let's wait 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:06.720 till the safest place to do it. They said to me, 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:13.840 so someone's ordering around the commander in chief. That's where 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.960 we're at now. This guy, Mark Milly, the guy who 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.400 promised China, he'd warned them if we were going to attack. 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.720 As part of that conversation, I said, generally, there's not 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:24.880 going to be a ward. There's not going to be 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.640 attacked between great powers, and if there was, the tensions 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.640 would build up. They'd be calls going back and forth 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.960 from all kinds of senior officials. I said, hell, generally, 0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.960 I'll probably give a call, but we're not going to 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.559 attack you. Trust me, We're not going to attack you 0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.960 a late stage republic. And you know there are a 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:47.040 million examples. I used Napoleon off the bat. Maybe Rome 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.200 is a really good one too. Just you have this 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:55.320 gigantic juggernaut superpower who forever would dictate terms to whatever 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.679 country they felt like dictating terms too. If Rome said jump, 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.559 you said how I. And then internally they were rotting 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.680 and rotting and rotting. And this took place over a 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.960 long period of time. And then eventually these various tribes, 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.720 from the Huns, the Vandals to all, they start picking 0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:12.680 at the bones and picking at the bones and poking 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.000 at the ribs and poking at the ribs. And soon 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:20.760 what's happened is you've let the world know that the unstoppable, 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:25.800 the Great Juggernaut isn't really a great Juggernaut anymore. The 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.800 Great Juggernaut eventually becomes painted rust. And once the world 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.480 finds out that the Great Juggernaut is painted rust, you're 0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:35.760 in a lot of trouble because they remember all those 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.080 years they weren't number one, and they want to come 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:43.320 make sure you remember how you treated them. All that 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:47.200 may have made you uncomfortable, but I am right. This 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:50.680 is all while we have a military that is rotting 0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.240 out from underneath us, as always happens with these late 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.880 stage republics. We're going to talk to green Beret Joe 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:14.960 Ken about that next. We don't need a military that's 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.280 women friendly. We don't need a military that's gay friendly, 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.319 with all due respect to the Air Force. We need 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:22.880 a military that's flat out hostile. We need a military 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:25.040 full of type A men who want to sit on 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.720 a throne of Chinese skulls. But we don't. We don't 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.599 have that now. We can't even get women off of 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.160 naval vessels. That should be step one, but most of 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:37.560 them are already pregnant. Anyway, I forgot how mad the 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:42.079 Chinese got mad at me about that. They're furious joining 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.800 me now one of those men. By the grace of God, 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:49.600 they still exist. Joe Kent, green beret combat veteran, former 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:54.040 congressional candidate, and hopefully I believe running again. Joe, You're 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.840 running again in Washington, right, I am, Jesse. We're back 0:10:57.840 --> 0:11:02.360 in the fight. Yes, my man, Joe Kent is running 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.240 for Congress again, one of the few people one percent 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:07.960 support in this country. All right, Joe, let's set aside 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:12.199 some stupid take I did on Tucker Carlson. We're missing, 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:15.160 we're shooting down a lot of things. Apparently we're missing 0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:17.720 some of these things as well. We actually dropped the 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:21.200 four hundred thousand dollars sidewinders somewhere, and no one seems 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.640 to know where it is. Joe, what am I missing? 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:27.959 You know? Look, I mean the Biden administration just doesn't 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.520 take our security seriously. We knew that before they opened 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.880 up the border for an invasion, and then this nonsense 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.440 with Chinese spy balloons, Chinese spy craft. They won't give 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.920 us any straight answers. And look, I think initially they 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.480 were caught off guard. They hadn't seen these things before. 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.160 They had left that entire northern frontier wide open. And 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.360 they're back pedaling right now. And really they know that 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.360 the mainstream media is just going to help them cover 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:57.280 up their incompetence and really just their negligence. Joe, it 0:11:57.520 --> 0:12:01.120 seems like we're watching everything uble around us. It goes 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.560 way beyond you know, military stuff, and let's focus on 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.679 that there. It doesn't feel like we have the same 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.679 proficiency we have known that we've always known as Americans. 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:11.720 It's been that way my whole life. Always the biggest, 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:15.360 always the best, always on point. It feels a little 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.479 rotting now, But you're you're the one with the experience. 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:23.200 Is it most certainly is? I mean, look what Joe 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.200 Biden has done to our military, Joe Biden, Lloyd Austin, 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:28.440 but they've done to our military in a short period 0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.760 of time is nothing short of absolutely catastrophic. They they 0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.680 received one of the most battle hardened forces, the force 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:36.880 that fought the global War on Terror for twenty years. 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.760 They received them, and they put the vaccine mandate on them. 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.640 They put the extremist stand down on them, or they 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:44.839 automatically said, hey, we think any of you who are 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:47.480 on the opposite side of the aisle as the ruling power, 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:49.640 we think that you are domestic terrorists. And then, like 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.720 I said, the vaccine mandate, we've just eroded and eroded, 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.160 and we put all these different woke talking points as 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:57.719 our priority as opposed to just war fighting. And look, 0:12:57.760 --> 0:13:00.640 at the end of the day, our enemies see there's 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:03.360 no way in heck that China would have taken these 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.319 drastic and very dangerous and very provocative measures against the 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.520 United States if President Trump or really any previous president 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.080 was in the Oval office because they didn't think they 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.400 could get away of it. And now under Biden, they 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.280 are completely and totally emboldened. So there's a direct result 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.199 at what our ruling class, what our political leaders, Joe 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:23.280 Biden and Lloyd Austin, what they do to our military 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:28.920 and our national security. Joe, what do we talk about 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.200 when it comes to these high altitude balloons, satellites, various 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.680 ways that people spy today, the Nation States spy on others. Look, 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.319 I'm just an idiot. What information can they gather? Can 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:45.640 they gather valuable information? Sixty thousand feets so that's pretty high. 0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:49.440 What are they getting it is? Look, I mean there's 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.960 a lot of technical collection that they could get from 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.079 these balloons or these other types of crafts. However, look 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:56.600 at the end of the day, you know, I served 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.360 in the military and special forces. I was also an 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.320 intelligence officer in the CIA. Every time you go to 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:04.240 do an operation like this, you do risk versus gained. 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.520 And the Chinese had to assess that Hey, look, we're 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.200 not really risking much. Under any other administration, the risk 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.920 would have been really high. Hey boss, I want to 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:15.120 float a balloon over an American nuclear installation. I think 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.560 most of the time that the answer back would have been, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.320 are you crazy, You're going to start a nuclear war? 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.320 But with Biden in the White House, they were like, Yeah, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.480 what the heck, let's let's give it a whirl. I 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.960 personally think that the Chinese could have collected sense of 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.040 information from their satellites or from all of the different 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.320 operatives they have deployed on the ground here in the 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:34.760 United States buying up farmland by these nuclear installations. I 0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.280 think that this was meant to send a message that 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.480 they control the time in place in which they can 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.920 attack us, and that also, look, at the end of 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.280 the day, they have our ruling class, especially the Biden 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:53.640 crime family. They have them at their behest. Joe, is 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.760 this as simple as well? Here's a little video clip 0:14:56.800 --> 0:15:01.240 of Joe Biden not remembering Austin's name. I want to 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.240 thank all of our distinguished guests that are here today, 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:09.680 the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, the Secretary of the 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:16.240 of the Secretary, Austin the Secretary of State and the 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:24.080 Secretary of the military of the behind me, Joe. It's 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:26.320 this as simple as a commander in chief problem. We 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:29.040 have a dementia riddled old man who can't speak, can't 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:31.960 remember anybody's name. And that's the reason this is rotten. 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.600 Or is the rot deeper? The rot's much deeper. It's 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.600 it's way too easy to give Biden to pass and 0:15:37.680 --> 0:15:39.880 just say like, oh, he's he's an old man of dementia, 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:41.880 he doesn't know what he's doing, he's sleepy. Joke, yeah, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:43.840 I mean that factor is when you're talking about a 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:45.840 press conference. However, at the end of the day, Joe 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.000 Biden is a career politician, fifty years in government. He 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.320 has been in the back pocket of the Chinese Communist 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:53.240 Party now for decades, going back to when he was 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.920 on the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate. The Hunter 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.760 Biden laptop is very real. It speaks for itself. It 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.160 shows the level of compromise that the Chinese Communist Party 0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:05.880 has on Biden not to mention oligarchs in Ukraine. So 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.280 this is a deeply corrupt person who, at the end 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.080 of the day him in the vast majority of people 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.000 on his national security team. They don't believe there's anything 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.560 exceptional about America. I don't think there's any kind of 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.680 secret cabal of globalist plotting against us. What's even more 0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:22.440 dangerous is this mentality that, Hey, this expert class of 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:25.720 corporatists should be in charge of everything, and we'd be 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:29.040 much better off having closer relations with people in Brussels 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:35.520 than we would be having relations with people in East Palestine. Ohio, Joe, 0:16:35.560 --> 0:16:38.120 what are you hearing from the hardcore types who are 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.600 still in? Because there are many, many great men and 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.360 women still in the United States military. They want the 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.160 right things, they're there for the right reasons. But if 0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:48.360 your emails look at anything like my emails, they're not 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.880 going to be in very much longer. Jesse. I'm getting out, Jesse. 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:53.200 I'm getting out, Jesse. I'm getting out now. My son's 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.240 not joining Jesse. I'm hearing a lot of this. Are 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.720 you hearing this? I'm hearing the exact same thing. N 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.120 It's very dangerous because, like I said, I mean, these guys, 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.000 they're the ones who really bore the burden of twenty 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.639 years of constant combat, and we need these guys to 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.919 stay in and bring up the next generation of soldiers, 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.200 and the vast majority of them, if they haven't already 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:16.520 gotten out, they're going to do the bare minimum until 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:18.280 they can get their retirement, and then they're going to 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:20.280 get the heck out of the military, which is dangerous 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:21.960 if you look at how the recruitings are going, because 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:24.040 we're not being we're not able to put folks into 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:27.640 the military to fill those gaps. So I think it's 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:31.199 in there's especially with Joe Biden taking us, you know, 0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:34.480 ever so close a kinetic war with Russia and Ukraine. 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.679 Joe fix it for me. Joe Kent is a dictator 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:45.000 for a year. How do we fix America's military? We 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:46.919 love our military, We're proud of it. We're used to 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.000 be in number one. We don't want to watch this 0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:54.199 rot happen. What fixes this? Yeah, I mean, first and 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.600 foremost the vaccine mandate. It's good that we got rid 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:58.120 of it, but we need to bring back everybody who 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.360 has kicked out and make them whole again and give 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.159 them back their rank, give them back pay. That's number one, 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:05.280 and then get rid of all this woke nonsense. And 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.320 that's going to That's easier said than done because it's 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.280 so deeply ingrained. I think we need to remake our 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:12.239 officer corps. We need to start bringing in a lot 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:15.040 more guys from the enlisted ranks to become officers, so 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:18.680 we can cut the university and doctrination system of how 0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:23.560 groom our military leaders. And there we need a foreign 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.200 policy that is America first. We don't need to have 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.760 a combat division plus sitting over in Poland, sending the 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:32.879 vast majority of our military resources into Ukraine for a 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.280 conflict that we don't need, that we don't benefit from, 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:37.640 that we'll only lose in. We need to get very 0:18:37.640 --> 0:18:40.879 serious about restoring economic dominance and really getting back to 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:45.080 being an energy dominant once again, energy independent, energy dominant. Really, 0:18:45.080 --> 0:18:46.560 at the end of the day, it's like you said 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:49.399 in that opening clip with Tucker, our military has one purpose, 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:51.840 and that is to kill people and to break things. 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:54.640 The second they start trying to do anything else, they 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.320 are veering into a very dangerous area that makes our 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.960 country less safe. We have to get back to Joe 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:05.080 war fighting as far as our military goes Man, Joe Kent, 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.960 I appreciate your brother, Thanks very much. Thanks for having 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:15.480 me all right, Jacket, soback is going to join us? 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.640 What is the capability of China? What can they do? 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:38.480 Hang on? Have relations now between the US and China 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:46.639 taking a big hit? No, how do you know? I 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:52.200 know I talked to him. You've talked to Shock a 0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:55.719 j Pain before. I and our team talks to our 0:19:55.760 --> 0:19:59.199 people during this. Yeah, after, I haven't talked to him 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:06.920 to during this. What joining me now? Jack Posilviic, host 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:11.679 of the Great Human Events Daily podcast, also a Navy veteran. 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:13.520 I don't like that, but it is what it is, 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:18.639 all right, Jack? What is what is our relationship with China? 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.640 I know we're enemies, we're friends, We're enemies who need 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.800 each other. What is it? Well, so, I mean, there's 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:28.600 a lot of ways you can answer that question. But 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.480 the reality is this is that China has always, for 0:20:32.520 --> 0:20:36.399 the last thirty years or so, been the partner in 0:20:36.560 --> 0:20:39.159 crime of the elites in this country. When all of 0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:44.000 our jobs were shipped overseas. The deal was manufacturing will 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.000 go to Asia's. We're going to remove manufacturing from the 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.320 steel belt will become the rust belt. We're going to 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.040 remove it from the Midwest, We're going to remove it 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:52.720 from the South. It's going to go to East Asia 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:55.439 as particularly China, so that they can pay slave wages 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.760 to Western capital and the intellectual property will be our 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:01.479 angle of it. So the people who were shipping all 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:05.159 the jobs over there got filthy rich, while all the wealth, 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.480 the jobs, the employment, the growth that all went to China. 0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:13.040 The backstop of the included in all of this was 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:14.679 that the imat from the World Bank would be going 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:17.320 and funding all their rides with loans. So you know, 0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:19.520 there's a reason that Chicago and Detroit look the way 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:23.520 they do, and Shenjen and Shanghai and Beijing look the 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:25.600 way that they do, because we paid for that. Our 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:31.760 wealth was transferred to China. However, on the military side, 0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:34.440 we also sort of you have the military industrial complex 0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.880 which always must put China out as a rival, as 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:40.760 a major threat, so they seek to portray China as 0:21:40.800 --> 0:21:43.359 this and it's it's kind of this interesting track where 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.320 China as a military threat and by the way, they 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:49.159 are by the way, an actual threat to the United 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.360 States at least in terms of Taiwan, in terms of 0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:57.080 our partners in East Asia, Korea, Japan, etc. But when 0:21:57.080 --> 0:21:58.680 it comes to it, we have this sort of dual 0:21:58.760 --> 0:22:00.679 relationship which I think you were kind of getting at 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:04.119 there that we are deeply in bed with them economically, 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:06.719 and yet we look at them also as military rivals. 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:09.879 What you're actually seeing is a fight at the highest 0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:12.960 levels of globalism. Right. So that system that I just outline, 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:16.120 that's that's globalism, That's what that is. We outsource also 0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:18.879 our energy policy to the Middle East, so manufacturing in 0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:22.520 East Asia Middle East gets gets our energy policy. But 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:25.040 underpinning all of that is that the United States the 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:27.959 West is supposed to be the senior partner. Well, now 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:29.880 all of a sudden, here comes Chijan Bing and here 0:22:29.880 --> 0:22:32.840
