1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Our two Sean Hannity show toll free. It's eight hundred

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: and nine for one Sean if you want to be

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: a part of the program. I mean some of the

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: comments of some people on the left, their mind numbing

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: to me. You know, one of the geniuses out there

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: is Anna Navarro. China loves that the GOP turned the

7
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: Chinese balloon situation into a big drama. This is what

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: she said. He knows he is not the biggest expert

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: one he had. He's not the one that knows the

10
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: most about a particular subject matter. Well, so Marco Rubio says,

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: if we send a balloon to China, Beijing, I guarantee

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,480
Speaker 1: you would shoot it down. I think this was about

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: China sending a message, right, and that is that is

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: a serious issue because I think they are establishing themselves,

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: have established themselves as now a major world power, and

16
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: they want to show their strength. Do you think they

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: wanted to show Biden's weakness as well? They want to book.

18
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: They love this, They love that remember that Republicans turned

19
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: this into this big drama. That you know that there's

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: senators and people shootings. This is this is about you know,

21
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: exercises exercises in the South China seas. This is satellites

22
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: all over the place. This is they wanted this thing

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: to be spotted. If you're going to spy, you're not

24
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: going to send a giant balloon all across the United

25
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: States for a week, right. I mean, the Chinese know

26
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: how to spy. They you know, they can do it better.

27
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: They wanted to create a crisis, a national crisis and

28
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: international crisis. They wanted it to be elevated and can

29
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: be visible and be talked about, and they got it.

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 1: And I agree, well, it should be a big deal,

31
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: and it is a big deal. And the fact that

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: it was allowed to continue day after day after day

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: after day and they did nothing the whole time is

34
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: incomprehensible to me. Anyway. Joining us now, Gordon Chang is

35
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: with us, author of the Coming Collapse of China and

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: the Great US China Tech War. Gordon, welcome back to

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: the program. How are you, sir? I'm fine showing him.

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Well. I see this very differently

39
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: than Anna Navarro. I see it as a moment where

40
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: it's the American people better wake up to the fact

41
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: that they are our number one geopolitical threat. They better

42
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: wake up to the fact that they're buying our farmland,

43
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: our ranch land near military installations. They better wake up

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: and understand that Joe Biden selling our strategic petroleum reserves

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: to the communist Chinese. That would be insane. They better

46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: wake up to the fact that these these governors all

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 1: around the country have picked up on something that I

48
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: would imagine is likely right and that TikTok it can

49
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: be used as some kind of spy operation. And they

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: better pick up that we better deal with the Chinese

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: and a more adversarial way because they have chosen that path,

52
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: not us. You're absolutely right. I couldn't agree with you more.

53
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: And the other thing to add is that this balloon

54
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: incident indicates that the problems with China are not like

55
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: next year or the year after that. They are right

56
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: now because obviously something is wrong in the Chinese regime.

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: It's become much more belligerent. We don't know exactly why,

58
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: but none of the explanations are good. For instance, this

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 1: could have been an intimidation move on the part of

60
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: the Chinese show the rest of the world that we're incapable,

61
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: or it could have been the Chinese military freelancing on

62
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 1: their own, or it could very well be that people

63
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: wanted to derail cooperative relations with the US. But whatever

64
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 1: it is, Sean, it means we could be very much

65
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: in a war with China very soon. You're talking about

66
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: a cold war, You're talking about a real military conflict.

67
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking about a real military conflict because at the

68
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: moment China thinks it that a war with us, but

69
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: it's that unrestricted warfare that all intellectual properties, all the

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: rest of it. But I was talking about a kinetic

71
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: war as it is called, largely because the Chinese military

72
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: right now looks like it's slipped the leash, and we've

73
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: got to be very concerned that we are going to

74
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: be in battle with the Chinese. Look, Sean, we know

75
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: in general China is mobilizing the war. Not only mobilizing

76
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: it's military, but also it's civilians. It's trying to sanction

77
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: proof the regime because it knows what's coming down the road.

78
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: There are signs that this is going to be a war,

79
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: and it could very well be soon. And by the way,

80
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: if we don't do anything to stop this, we will

81
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: be in a war. Because the drift is that way

82
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: it's up to Biden, it's up to the American people

83
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: to try to stop China. We can do it, but

84
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: we can't do it if the administration continues on the

85
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: current path. So let's look at everything in one big picture. Here,

86
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: they're buying all our farmland, range land, They're buying land

87
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: near military installations. They're also according to experts, I don't

88
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: know much about TikTok, but they're telling us and states

89
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: are banning TikTok because they believe it as a spy

90
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 1: element to it. And then of course we have COVID.

91
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: Then we have horrible trade deals. Then we have a

92
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: reliance on chips and other manufacturing equipment vital to our economy,

93
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: including life saving medicines for example. Then we have the

94
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: hostility of Fenton all which you mentioned. I think that's

95
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: that's bad, a horrible, horrible intellectual property theft problem with

96
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: the communist Chinese. Yeah, they've become belligerent and aggressive, and

97
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: clearly they don't fear Joe Biden, do they or they

98
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: never would have done this. They don't fear Joe Biden,

99
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: and we know that from what they've been saying, because

100
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: they're propaganda. Since the beginning of the administration has been

101
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: that the US no longer deters China and we can't

102
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: talk to them from the position of strength. That was

103
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Chinese word, China's words when they sent their top two

104
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: diplomats two Anchorage to meet Secretary of State Anthony Blank

105
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: and as well as National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. This

106
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: is something that they highlighted. Just after Biden was elected,

107
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: but before he took office. There was an academic d

108
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: Dunc Song who gave a lecture which was live stream

109
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: to cost China November twenty eight, twenty twenty, where the

110
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: d Dunc Song said, look, China looks forward to Biden

111
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: taking the oath of office because then we can tell

112
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: the US what to do again. And d actually said

113
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: that China couldn't do that during the four years of

114
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. This is a real indication of Chinese

115
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: mentality and it means that that's going to push them

116
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 1: to do something too far, which is Chinese by balloon.

117
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: Actually is an example of you suggested that maybe you

118
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: have actors kind of go in rogue against President She.

119
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: Do you see that type of serious, significant internal political

120
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: strife in China right now? That's a real possibility. Yes,

121
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: that the Chinese military fields that can do whatever it

122
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: wants because it's been empowered by Cijing Ping. I mean,

123
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: the other possibility is that Cijuing Ping told the military

124
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 1: to do this. One could also say that the military

125
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: told the Cijing thing that they're going to do it,

126
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: and Seed decided not to stop them. The one thing, Sean,

127
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: is that the Chinese regime over the last four or

128
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: five years has become less transparent, so it's really opaque

129
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: right now. We're just guessing as to what's going on.

130
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: But all of the possibilities are horrible. China right now

131
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: is extremely dangerous, and there's no sense of urgency in

132
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: the Oval Office, and there's no sense of urgency at

133
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: the top of the Pentagon, starting with Lloyd Austin and

134
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: General Milling, Secretary of Defense, and the Chairman of the

135
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: Joint Chiefs of Staff, respectively. So although we're a far

136
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: stronger society than China, China can take us by surprise,

137
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: and China can defeat us because we're not defending ourselves.

138
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: But China has been building up and we've called attention

139
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: to this now for well over a decade. They've they've

140
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: been massively building up their military capabilities for almost two

141
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: decades now, have they surpassed us in terms of technology

142
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: and military capability and readiness. Well, certainly in readiness because

143
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 1: we're not ready for a lot of reasons. But also

144
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: we know that China in certain areas as weapons that

145
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: are better than ours, so for instance their cruise missiles

146
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: which can take out our ships. In general, we're a

147
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: stronger military for a number of reasons, but we've got

148
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: critical vulnerabilities. But the biggest vulnerability shown is not weapon

149
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: for weapon, really it is leadership. And right now in

150
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: the United States, we've got a leadership that is not prepared,

151
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: and we got a China that is getting ready for war.

152
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: And it's not just their military, they are mobilizing their

153
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: civilians for war, and that's an Indian well, all of

154
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: society efforts. They've shown all of this, all of their

155
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 1: territorial ambitions with Taiwan and and talk so often about reunification.

156
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: That's their term. Obviously would not be reunification, but our

157
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: number one. Ally they've been very quick to be very

158
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: aggressive and in lecturing us about visiting our own ally

159
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: in Taiwan. I believe seventy percent of those precious chips

160
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: that are needed for so many Much of our technology,

161
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: including our automobiles, comes from Taiwan. Kevin McCarthy is scheduled

162
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: to make a visit. When Nancy Pelosi made it, I

163
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: mean they were there was talk about shooting her out

164
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: of the sky for crying out loud, which is insane.

165
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: And yet they're flying over Taiwan airspace every day. They

166
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: haven't made the move yet. Why haven't they? And do

167
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,479
Speaker 1: you think they will soon? Yeah? I can't judge intentions,

168
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: but I can say that they are preparing to take

169
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 1: Taiwan through force because has made it a test of

170
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: his personal legitimacy that they do so. And they actually

171
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: think the United States won't come to Taiwan's rescue, and

172
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: they are very clear about that. We don't have to

173
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: guess because they actually say that in their propaganda. You know,

174
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, I can talk to you for ages about

175
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: reasons why they would and wouldn't. But the point is

176
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: we need to be prepared. Because they are preparing. We

177
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: should be matching their preparations. If we do that, we

178
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: can avoid war. If we don't do that, the Chinese

179
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: will think that they can get away with it, they

180
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: will try something, it will end up in conflict. And

181
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: that means you have conflict at both ends of the

182
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: Eurasian land mask Ukraine at one end, Taiwan at the other.

183
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: So we have our number one and number two geopolitical

184
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: threats in conflict. And what our only answer is to

185
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: supply weaponry. But we won't go as far as to

186
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: give Zelinski the okay for Poland and Germany to give

187
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: fighter jets. That's insane, because the best way to deter

188
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 1: ceasing is to defeat Vladimir Putin. There is, according to rumors,

189
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: a vice Foreign Minister of China in Moscow right now

190
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: talking about Sijumping's anticipated visit to the Russian capital, and

191
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: February twenty fourth, the one year anniversary of the invasion,

192
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: is coming up. There are suggestions, and this is just rumors,

193
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: that there are suggestions that Sijumping will be there at

194
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: or around that time to announce a enhanced relationship with Russia. Remember,

195
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: on February fourth of last year, China and Russia announced

196
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: their no Limits partnership. That was twenty days before the invasion.

197
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: We're going to see something similar, I think in the

198
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: not too distant future sometime this month. Quick break, we'll

199
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: come right back, will continue toll free. It's eight hundred

200
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: nine four one, Sean. If you want to be a

201
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: part of the program, more with Gordon Shang on the

202
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: other side than your calls coming up. We'll get to

203
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: your phone calls here in a minute, eight hundred nine

204
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: four one on our number, if you want to be

205
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: a part of the program. But first we continue with

206
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: Gordon Chang, who's with us, author of the Coming Collapse

207
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: of China and the Great US China Tech War. Do

208
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: you believe that? Explain the thinking behind this balloon. You know,

209
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: they knew it was probably going to be identified. They

210
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: clearly controlled it. We had the best opportunity to take

211
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: it out when they first identified it over Alaska, they

212
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: didn't do so. Then through Canada, then into Idaho, then

213
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: across Montana right over our ICBM missile sites. What's going

214
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: on here A couple things. First of all, they're gathering

215
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: valuable intelligence that they can't get from satellites or other means,

216
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: and so Na Navart needs to go to school on

217
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: spy operations. But the second thing, there are a number

218
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: of different explanations as to why they did this. And

219
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: we don't know what the answer is, and we may

220
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: not know for quite some time. But the options are

221
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: this is an intimate move to tell the world that

222
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: the US is incapable of defending its own airspace, so

223
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: as to tell the rest of the world that they've

224
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: got to leave the US and work with China. That's

225
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: one possibility. Second possibility is the Chinese military, which is

226
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: very strong politically inside the Communist Party, so says we're

227
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: going to do this and we don't care what it

228
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: has effect on our relations, which the United States. And

229
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: the third possibility is that there are some elements in

230
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: the Chinese regime that wanted to derail Secretary of State

231
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: Anthony B. Lincoln's anticipated trip to Beijing, which was scheduled

232
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: for the fifth or the sixth. So you know, at

233
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: this particular time, I can't tell you which of those

234
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: options are. I can give you a guess, but any

235
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: of those options could be true. But the point is

236
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: none of these options are good. Also, of these options

237
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: point to it extremely dangerous China that probably wants to

238
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: go to war with the United States, and that means

239
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: they're thinking that they can take us, and because we're

240
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: longer they're not thinking that we're going to defend ourselves.

241
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: But I can't. But this can't be any type of

242
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: conventional war. I mean, I've got to believe that it's

243
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: going to be technology versus technology. Who has the superior technology. Yes,

244
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: and it also may not stay conventional. We you know,

245
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: we sort of think, well, you know, wars will stay

246
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, just conventional. But the Chinese have actually been

247
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: threatening to use their nuclear weapons against the United States,

248
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: against Japan, against Australia, against the rest of the world.

249
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: They ramped up their threats to use their nukes after

250
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: Putin started making his new threats with regard to Ukraine

251
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: early last year. So these regimes are learning from each other,

252
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: and when one makes a threat, the others make threats.

253
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: So you had, for instance, North Korea about six or

254
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: seven months ago, for the first time, threatened to use

255
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: their nuclear weapons preemptively. We had never heard that from

256
00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: North Korea before, but they did that because they heard

257
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: the Russians talk about preemptively using their tactical nuclear weapons.

258
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: So this is getting very, very dangerous because these regimes

259
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: are getting courage from each other, false courage, but courage less.

260
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 1: It's what you're describing as a doomsday almost like scenario.

261
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: It's pretty chilling. We appreciate you being with us. Gordon Chang,

262

290
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: Warren is in Idaho. Did you see the big, beautiful

291
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: balloon flying above your state? You know, Sean, I wish

292
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: I could have seen it. We did see the pictures

293
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: coming from Montana, for sure, but just knowing it was

294
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: close to us is quite interesting. It's a little more

295
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: than interesting to me. It's a little chilling to me.

296
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: It's a little and on another side of this, it's embarrassing.

297
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: I think to the entire country where the United States

298
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: of America, they say they knew this thing was flying

299
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: over Alaska long before it got to your state of Idaho,

300
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: long before it got to Montana, long before it made

301
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: its way to North Carolina and then off the coast

302
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: to North Carolina and getting shot down, and they didn't

303
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: do a thing. And you know, they could tell us

304
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: all they want. We have the capability of jamming, disabling.

305
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: What did they know? How do they possibly know what technology,

306
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: maybe new technology might have been in that you know

307
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,159
Speaker 1: Chinese balloon, well exactly. And like you've been saying, the

308
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: Biden family regime is so compromised that they probably got

309
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,360
Speaker 1: a call and said, don't shoot that down. That's out.

310
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: And I listened to the ACLJ last week and Rick

311
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,239
Speaker 1: Grnell they said they had their capabilities to take it

312
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: down without destroying it. So why did they not find

313
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: out what weather balloons carry? Pieces that are the size

314
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: of a couple of school bus I think you're you're

315
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: raising phenomenal questions. And I think Rick Grnell is right.

316
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: That was my first option if you were listening on Friday,

317
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: is to go up there, get the balloon and take

318
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: it down. And I don't see how something sixty thousand

319
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: feet in the air. If we can send people to

320
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: the moon and they can land and they can walk

321
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: around and fly back home, I would think you can

322
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: grab a balloon that's sixty sixty five thousand, you know,

323
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: at sixty sixty five thousand feet and take it back

324
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: home to Earth. I think we should be capable of

325
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: that absolutely, or even if it's if it's up there,

326
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: we would have the capability of rerouting it if it's

327
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: not blown, if it's being blown by the wind, why

328
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't we not be able to reroute it. I think

329
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: it's a try. I'll run for maybe an EMP attack

330
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: and Biden and them would let it right in. I

331
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: mentioned that earlier. It's it's pretty scary to me. That

332
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: is a real possibility, and you better consider that if

333
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: you know the electromagnetic you know attack is what you're

334
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: talking about, and that would knock out, you know, pretty

335
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: much all of the country's communication abilities and God only

336
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: knows what else. Yeah, but where the I CBS stations

337
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: are now over there? Yeah? Good point? All right, my friend,

338
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: thank you for being there. Great observations. Uh, let's say

339
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: hi to Matt North Carolina. Matt, how are you? How

340
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: are you showing? Glad to speak with you? Thank you

341
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: great to speak. Did you watch the beautiful balloon gets

342
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: shot down in your state? Well, I'll watched it go

343
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: over my house. So did you take a sling shot

344
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,879
Speaker 1: at least give a shot at it. Uh No, I

345
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: know the old Stewards a little bit too much for that.

346
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,439
Speaker 1: But thoughts on this, and largely this is due to

347
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: I worked and lived in and out of for eight

348
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: years and I'm very familiar with the way they think,

349
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 1: how they see us, you know, from a lot of

350
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: different perspectives. In my opinion, I think what this was

351
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: was essentially two things. I think it was an intentional,

352
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: intentional incursion number one, and secondly that it was, you know,

353
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: a test run to see where they could go with this,

354
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: how they could guide this, whether it would go where

355
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: they wanted to go. This is preemptively, I think, due

356
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: to the fact that the payloads that these can carry

357
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: are virtually unlimited. It could be a bioweapon payload underneath.

358
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: It could be a bioweapons within the balloon itself, hoping

359
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: that they would shoot it down and then thereby spread

360
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: the bioweapon emp as you mentioned before, or explosives, any

361
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: of those are possibilities for future purposes. The fact that

362
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: they didn't shoot it down over the Aleutian Islands in

363
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: Alaska is believable when we know we had that capability.

364
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: But I think their first and very most priority should

365
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: have been in the fact of bringing it down safely

366
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: so that they could completely dis someone and examine it. Well,

367
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm hoping they can recover it, first of all. I

368
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: have faith that hopefully they get some of it, if

369
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: not all of it, and then maybe that'll put to

370
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: rest this nonsense that people are saying this was oh,

371
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: this was probably not used for nefarious purposes. And when

372
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: I hear that, I'm thinking, you people are so dumb,

373
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: so naive, and if you're right, it's just a lucky guess.

374
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: The Communist Chinese have made it very, very clear that

375
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: they are not our friends, you know what, because if

376
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: they were our friends, they wouldn't be pushing their fent

377
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: and all to the southern border in the massive quantities

378
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: that they're pushing it down there. If they were really

379
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: our friends, they would have given the world heads up

380
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: on COVID, especially when they shut down travel out of

381
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: Wuhan to any other part of China. But they didn't

382
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: shut down travel from Wuhan to the rest of the world.

383
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: That tells me that the Communist Chinese knew that to

384
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: protect their own country, but not the rest of the world.

385
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: And so that's frustrating too liberally. That was done deliberately.

386
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: I was in Wuhan, China when they released the first virus.

387
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: I was right down the street working from that lab,

388
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: and I know that it was done deliberately at that point.

389
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: And the funny thing that I thought was amusing was

390
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: that these the same excuse as the wet market the

391
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: second time around as they did the first time around.

392
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: But leave was done because they had to do something

393
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: to disrupt the elections with Trump and add to that

394
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: chaos that ensued after that. I firmly believe that China

395
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: thinks that they are going to go ahead and attack Taiwan,

396
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: and I think that'll be before the end of twenty

397
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: twenty four. I wouldn't be surprised at any point that

398
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: that happens. I think they've been showing nothing but clear aggression,

399
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: and they have been very aggressive in warning the United

400
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: States to pull back from our alliance with Taiwan, which

401
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: I don't think we should do. You can't allow any

402
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: country to bully you. But Hannity, they've got nuclear weapons. Well,

403
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: if that's the answer that anybody that has nuclear weapons

404
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: gets to get us to stand down, and we don't

405
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: remind them that we have the same threat back. That

406
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: was an ideal situation, no, but it has a name,

407
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: and it actually was successful during the Cold Wall War,

408
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: and that's called mutually a short destruction and it served

409
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: as they deterred, if you attack us, we will hit

410
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: you back ten times harder. And unfortunately, it's an evil

411
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: world and evil people seem to only understand one thing,

412
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: and that's military strength when you're dealing with countries, It's

413
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: exactly true. But they want to continue to interfere with everything,

414
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 1: and they want they're determined to take Taiwan. That's been very,

415
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: very clear for a number of years. Just as Gordon

416
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: Shane was stating, he knows this. I admire him tremendously.

417
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: He's a great brain on all this subject, far better

418
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: than I am. But I am familiar with them and

419
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: how they think and what they think and what their

420
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: goals are. And their goal is to take Taiwan, and

421
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 1: they're going to do that. And I think that our

422
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: response is, you know, if Biden is in office in

423
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: his administration, I think that that is a great, great

424
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: grave danger to us because I don't think that they

425
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: will hardly step up to do anything. I don't think

426
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: Biden will lift a finger, and I think we're far

427
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: too dependent on China, and that is something we were

428
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: beginning to resolve after COVID towards the end of the

429
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 1: Trump administration, but we never fully got there. The one

430
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: thing Trump did get never got a lot of credit for,

431
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: was the fact that he was the single best negotiator

432
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: and got the best trade deal that anybody had ever

433
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: gotten in history with China. And the reason it worked

434
00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: is he put real tariffs on the importation of Chinese goods,

435
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: which worked because they want our dollars. Anyway, Matt, very informed. Call,

436
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Glad you're out there. Aaron in Colorado? Aaron,

437
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: you're next. How are you? How are you doing, Sean?

438
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm good, sir. I hope you had a good week up.

439
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: I did. But that was not a spy balloon. That

440
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: was just aerial photography of every Chinese property up there

441
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 1: in the North indud Dakotas and all the way up

442
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: to sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. So I think you're being

443
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: a wise ass, but you're very funny. Am I wrong?

444
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: I try? Look, you know the fact that some people,

445
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 1: some people are so quick to just dismiss this. I

446
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: believe the Communist Chinese this was for meteoro meteorological reasons.

447
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's that? They were just taking pictures of

448
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: the things they own in the Dakotas. The property is

449
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: sixteen hundred Pennsylvania own it. They They seem knowing a lot,

450
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: don't they? Yeah, and wouldn't I think what has to

451
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: come out of this? And everyone's gonna think it's political.

452
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: It's not about political, It's about national security. To me

453
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: is I think we need a complete full disclosure from

454
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: the Bidens and maybe you can be classified for now,

455
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: and that would be any and all financial dealings that

456
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: anyone in the Biden family has had, is involved in

457
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 1: currently or benefiting from financially in the past or present,

458
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: or perhaps down the line in the future as part

459
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: of a previous deal with the Communist Chinese. I want

460
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: to know the extent of their business dealings with China,

461
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: and hopefully we'll get to the bottom of that with

462
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: Jim Comer in the House Oversight Committee. I think we

463
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: have a right to know all of it. Anyway, good

464
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: call Aaron God blush a man. Let's say, how to

465
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: Bill of New Joysey, what's up Bill of New Joysey.

466
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: How are you? How are you doing? I'm from Jersey.

467
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 1: You from Jersey anywhe not from Jersey? How are you doing?

468
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: I know you're not. I'm doing good, but I'm actually

469
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: from South Jersey. Still got a slight Southern accent, but

470
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: compared to North Jersey. And what I was thinking is

471
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: with the cobalt mines and then all the other money

472
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: they got for their institutions. If you add it up,

473
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: that's over almost five billion dollars that the Bidens and

474
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: Bidens have gotten from the Chinese for other people in

475
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 1: themselves and kickbacks from it. It's like as soon as

476
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: he said, don't shoot it down, they're waiting for the

477
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: White House. I knew damn well that he is compromised

478
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: by the Chinese. I already knew it ahead of time

479
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: because of what you have uncovered, because you're a hero.

480
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, what's out there is because

481
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: of you and people like you that are are getting

482
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: the truth out, you know. And it's funny even with

483
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 1: the raid on Mary Laga, right, they did that on

484
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: purpose because they knew that that laptop was going to

485
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 1: let out a bunch of information and about the top

486
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 1: secret stuff that Biden had all over the place, and

487
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,959
Speaker 1: they wanted to try to compare it. And I know

488
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: that's true because right away they're lying and saying Trump

489
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,879
Speaker 1: had three Chinese balloons come over when he was president.

490
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's you know, it's like, how dare

491
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: you put a twenty year moratorium on covalt in his

492
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: country at the same time you're selling the most expensive

493
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: mine in the world in Africa. You're getting it sold

494
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: to the Chinese. I mean, he's obviously bought and sold

495
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: by him. The guy is a trader, he's a spy

496
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: for the Chinese government. When is somebody I want to

497
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: know if he's compromised? Why why would any president who

498
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: depleted our strategic petroleum reserves? You answer this question? Why

499
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: would that president want to now why would he be

500
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: battling Republicans that want to prevent that from happening. Why

501
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 1: would you want to give the limited reserves we have

502
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 1: that are meant for a merger agencies in this country?

503
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: Why would you want to sell those reserves to the

504
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: communist Chinese? Can you explain that? Because that makes no

505
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: sense to me. I can explain it. He is compromised.

506
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: Out of that five plus billion dollars, he's probably sitting

507
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: on at least two and a half billion of it,

508
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: and to do what they want. He doesn't have a

509
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: choice because he is a spy for the Chinese government.

510
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: Bottom line, bottom line, There's no way around it. And

511
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a spy. I think he's compromised,

512
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: and I think that makes a big, big difference. Yeah, compromised.

513
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: But at the same time he's hurting our national security

514
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: to benefit himself. The crime family is bigger than any

515
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: crime family financially that has probably ever existed. Just the

516
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: billions that he's been taken in with his family is

517
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: like unbelievable. And any time I get a quick pro

518
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: quo from somebody, I'm going to say, I just did

519
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: abideen you know on you know, it's like something like

520
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: the gas company does me a favor, gets a gas

521
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: line to a house quicker than I expect. I'm going

522
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: to say, well, I let them use the property to

523
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: put some of their equipment here, so I did a biden.

524
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: You know, that's got to be a new narrative. It's

525
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: like any time anybody does your favor, you say well,

526
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: I talked him into it. I did a Biden. Well,

527
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: because let me tell you what. Let me tell you

528
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: what the media wants to focus on. They want to

529
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: focus on, believe it or not, Stormy Daniels again. They

530
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: want to they want to focus on another New York

531
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: trial against Donald Trump on his finances. They Meanwhile, you

532
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: got the fent and All problem, You've got horrible trade deals,

533
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: you don't have answers on COVID, you have an unbelievable

534
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: intellectual property theft. Now we have spy balloons, and I'm

535
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: convinced it was a spy balloon, you know, flying over

536
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: our country. And they are belligerent, they are aggressive, and

537
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: they have done nothing but showed hostility towards us and

538
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: our ally Taiwan and lecturing us about what our relationship

539
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: with our allies should be like. Um, that doesn't sound

540
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: like a friendly nation to me. And you see how

541
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: they treat their own people. You see the slave labor

542
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: all throughout China. You see the treatment of the minority

543
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: weager community in China. I'm telling you this, this is bad.

544
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: What's going on is not good anyway, appreciate the call.

545
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine four one Shawn our number to expose

546
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: how the government waste your money. And every day this

547
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: is the Sean Show. You know, our friends of the

548
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: Tunnel to Towers Foundation, they deliver on their promise to

549
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: do good and never forget the sacrifices that America's heroes

550
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: have made for all of us. And that means heroes

551
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: like US Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Israel del Toro,

552
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: Israel del Toro, Junior. Now, he promised his dad he

553
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: would take care of his family and his son. He

554
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: would not grow up without a father. So when his

555
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: humby exploded in Afghanistan, he suffered burns, severe burns over

556
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 1: eighty percent of his body with only a fifteen percent

557
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,760
Speaker 1: chance of survival, Del Toro focused on the promises that

558
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: he made to his own father and later he became

559
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: the first fully disabled airmen that was permitted to re

560
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: enlist and by the way, in a gold medal winner

561
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: at the Invictus Games. Now he shares his story to

562
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: help others. Thanks to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. In
