1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Russia, Russia, Russia, Well, Russia's back in the news. The 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: Department of Justice has insisted on that they just announced 3 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: the Department of Justice did that they were seizing thirty 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: two domains tied to Russian influence campaign. Basically, these court 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: documents alleged that rt a Russia state media network which 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: was previously called Russia Today, that they deployed nearly ten 7 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: million dollars to finance and direct a Tennessee based online 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: content company to post videos I guess, you know, allegedly 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: pushing propaganda and whatnot. 10 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:35,319 Speaker 2: But we've seen a. 11 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: Lot of this, right, I mean, we recently found out 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: that Governor Kathy Hokel had an alleged Chinese spy working 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: for her office for nearly a decade. That comes on 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 1: the heels of previously learning that Eric Swolwell was caught 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: with a Chinese spy having connections to Fengfeng. We know 16 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: that Diane Feinstein Center, Diane Feinstein had employed a Chinese. 17 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 2: Spies your driver for quite some time. 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: You know. There's also been newss are on Envoy Robert 19 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 1: Malley had a security clearance suspended was also under investigation 20 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: by the FBI. Senator Bob Menendez how to resign following 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: a conviction for acting as an agent for the Egyptian government. 22 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: You know, Mayor Adams is under investigation in relation to Turkey. 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: So a lot of influence by foreign actors, right, you know, 24 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: this is all what's been alleged, a lot of this influence. 25 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: So why the specific focus on Russia by the left 26 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 1: and the media. I think most normal people would say, hey, look, 27 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: I don't want any foreign adversary to be messing with 28 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: our country. I don't want them infiltrating or politicians. I 29 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: don't want them having influence in our public policy decisions 30 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: that are lawmakers are making. I think that's a normal 31 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: conclusion for us all to draw of saying all these countries, 32 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: I just listed our enemies. They're not our friends. 33 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: So why just the focus on Russia? 34 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: And why now when you know there were some you know, 35 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: conservative people tied up in the recent DOJ drop, you know, 36 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: particularly after we've already seen the FBI and the Department 37 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: of Justice engaged in the Russia hoax against Donald Trump. 38 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: We know that fifty one former intelligence officers lied to 39 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: US about Russian disinformation, claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was 40 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: Russian disinformation? So what a make of all of this? 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: You know Rebecca Kaufler, we've had her on the show before. 42 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: She's the author of Putin's playbook, Russia's Secret Plan to 43 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: Defeat America. She's also a former intelligence officer who served 44 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: as a Russian doctrine and strategy specialist in the Defense 45 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: Intelligence Agency from twy and eight to twenty sixteen. 46 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: We're going to get her take on all of this. 47 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 2: What should you know? 48 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: How much influence do these enemy nations have in our country? 49 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: And why this dropped from the Department of Justice now 50 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: heading into the election. What's the intention behind it? Is 51 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: it just because people did something bad or are they 52 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: trying to again influence our elections. We'll also get into 53 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: to where the war between Russia and Ukraine stand today. 54 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: It's hard to really know, so we'll dig into that 55 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: with her. So a lot to get to stay tuned for. 56 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: Rebecca Coffler. Well, Rebecca, it's great to have you. 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 2: Back on the show. Appreciate you making the time. 58 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 3: Of course, thanks for having me, Lisa. 59 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to get you know, Russia is back in 60 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: the news. I mean, I guess it really hasn't left. 61 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: But so the Justice Department just announced that it was 62 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: seizing thirty two domains tied to what they call a 63 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: Russian influence campaign. They alleged that, you know, these influencers 64 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: were basically used in the United States on behalf of 65 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: Russia to push propaganda. What do you make of this 66 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: announcement from the Department of Justice and what should people 67 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: know about it? 68 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: Sure two things, Lisa. Yes, Russia traditionally does try to 69 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 3: into veen in the US elections, right, just like China does, 70 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 3: and a lot of other countries do. Any major US 71 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: adversary with their standard intelligence service does that, just like 72 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:20,239 Speaker 3: the United States. We do that to other countries. There's 73 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 3: a doctrine that the Russians have of elections sabotaged. And yes, 74 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: this announcement is accurate, but only partially because the Russians 75 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: don't do this to elect a specific person. They know 76 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 3: that they are not capable of that it's the US 77 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 3: voter that chooses the US president. They do that for 78 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: a completely different reason. They do that to foment conditions 79 00:04:54,800 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 3: for social unrest. There's another doctrine called control instability. But 80 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 3: what's also interesting about the timing of this release, the 81 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:12,559 Speaker 3: US spy agencies are actually either deliberately not understand either 82 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 3: unintentionally they don't understand the Russian doctrine, or they understand it, 83 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 3: and they push this narrative right now saying that the 84 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: Russians are trying to elect Donald Trump, they favored Trump, 85 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,720 Speaker 3: And isn't it interesting that just two months before the election, 86 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 3: here we go again they're pushing that very same narrative. 87 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 3: It's them for trying to intervene in the election. It's 88 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 3: the US spy agency instead are trying to do that. 89 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: In my assess, you know, they said that the documents 90 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: alleged that you know, RTI, which used to be Russia today, 91 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: deployed nearly ten million to finance in direct to Tennessee 92 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: based online content creation company to post certain videos. I 93 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: guess you'd kind of mention of what some of the 94 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: things that Russia tries to do. How influential have their 95 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: actions been and you know, trying to push some of 96 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: these propaganda, you know, I mean, is it effective at all? 97 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: Do you think? 98 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: Well, it depends on how you measure effectiveness. Again, what 99 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: the Russians are trying to do, they are trying to 100 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 3: pit Americans against one another. Uh, they're tailoring their narratives 101 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 3: to drive divisions among like religious people versus non religious people, 102 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 3: right pro police and against police. So but we, in fact, 103 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 3: we are already doing it to ourselves, right, just by 104 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 3: virtue of Kamala Harris. You know, she comes out and 105 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 3: she starts, you know, targeting certain people also, like Christians, 106 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 3: like JD. Van like she's attacking him. And so what 107 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: the Russians are trying to do they is simply amplifying this. 108 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: But if you measure effectiveness but by Russian ability to 109 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: actually change votes, then no, they don't have such capability. 110 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 3: They have not changed a single vote. So they're creating 111 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 3: all of that commotion, but it's not effective when it 112 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: comes to actual election influence. It's more of creating disorder. 113 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: You know. 114 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: It's the timing suspicions on behalf of the Department of Justice. 115 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: You know, they typically have a sixty day rule of 116 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: sort of impartiality to not try to influence elections. Obviously, 117 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: you know there are you know, quote unquote conservative commentators 118 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: that are you know named in here and have been 119 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: in the news with this. You know, obviously conservatives have 120 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: suspicions on the way the Department of Justice and the 121 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: FBI have handled things involving Russia in the past. You know, 122 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: we all saw, we've discussed the Russia hoax that was 123 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: weaponized against Donald Trump, and then we also saw, you know, 124 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: fifty one former intelligence officers lie about Hunter Biden's laptop 125 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 1: to the public, saying it was Russian disinformation when it 126 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: was not. So I guess, does this timing of this 127 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: strike you, as you know, interesting or suspicious on behalf 128 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice, or you know, kind of 129 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: what do you make of that aspect of this? 130 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 3: One hundred percent, I am very very suspicious of the 131 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 3: timing of this release. And here's why. I mean, we 132 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 3: already know that the Obama administration, the spy agencies, and 133 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 3: the Department of Justice completely weaponized the bureaucracy against Donald 134 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: Trump to create that Russia Trump collusion hoax that never existed. 135 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 3: And at that point, at that time, I was in 136 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: the intelligence service, right in the intelligence community, in the 137 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 3: DiiA Defense Intelligence Agency, and we know that, and I 138 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: knew back then that it's John Brennan, the Obama CIA director, 139 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 3: James Comy, Obama's FBI director, and James Clapp of the 140 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: Director of National Intelligence in the Obama administration, they drove 141 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: the creation of the so called Intelligence Community Assessment that 142 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: was published the declassified version of it on January seventh, 143 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: or six, rather twenty seventeen, and that assessment claimed that 144 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 3: the Russians preferred Trump, and there was there and that's 145 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 3: what pushed out that false narrative of the collusion, and 146 00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 3: that's when the whole thing started. And here they come again, right, 147 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 3: And all they need to do is just so doubt 148 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 3: in the minds of Americans and use the word Trump 149 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 3: in the word Russia or Trump and Pudtin in the 150 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: same sentence. And certain people who are already preconditioned to 151 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 3: believe that they immediately will eat it up. And so 152 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 3: that's exactly the interesting bit about this, Lisa, is that 153 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: that's exactly how the Russians operate as well. They never 154 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 3: try to convert a person who is of the opposite 155 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,839 Speaker 3: belief right. If you are a conservative, the Russians are 156 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: never trying to make you a liberal. But they already 157 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 3: are planting certain narratives to people who already to predispose 158 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 3: for certain beliefs. And the Justice Department adopted Putent's playbook. 159 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: So they're doing the very exact same thing. And people 160 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 3: who the only thing that they listen to see is 161 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: a CNN and if they read New York Times, which 162 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 3: basically has become the US version of Pravda, right, the 163 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 3: Soviet Pravda, it's the it's the regime newspaper supporting the 164 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 3: Harris Biden administration. And so those people who already predisposed 165 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 3: to believe all of these hoaxes that are coming out 166 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 3: of US by agencies and the Justice Department, they're going 167 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 3: to believe that. And so, in fact, like I said, 168 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: it's the Justice Department that is trying to influence the 169 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 3: election by spreading, by amplifying this narrative. 170 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: We've got a quick commercial break more with Rebecca on 171 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 1: the other side. We've also just seen a lot of this, 172 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: you know, across the board. I mean, we just learned that, 173 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: you know, Governor Kathy Hochel had an alleged Chinese spy 174 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: working for her office for nearly a decade. It was 175 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: the former deputy chief of staff, Linda Sun. She was 176 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: charged with eating Chinese officials. 177 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 3: You know. 178 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Eric Swollwell of course, was tied to Fengfeing a Chinese spy. 179 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: You know, we know that Diane Feinstein had employed a 180 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: Chinese spy. I think it was their driver for a 181 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: long period of time. You know, unknowingly, we know that 182 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: the Biden family has close ties to a lot of 183 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: Chinese business individuals and Chinese companies. Uh, you know, I 184 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: guess you know, how did how does China operate you know, 185 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: to China and Rush operate similarly to influence elections? Or 186 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: how does China you know do it? It seems like 187 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: most of the their ties have been to democrats. We 188 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: have Tim Walls, the vice president nominee for for DEMS, 189 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: who has visited China something like thirty times. Like I 190 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: guess is the Chinese does China more specifically target democrats? 191 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 2: It seems is that is that the case? 192 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: If so, why you know, what do you kind of 193 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: make of China's desire to inflo and how they've got 194 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: about it? 195 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:11,319 Speaker 3: Yes, the Chinese actually have penetrated the entire democratic apparatus 196 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: if you will, and you I don't even need to 197 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 3: name those, you have already done it, right, so uh, 198 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 3: and they do that for decades. They have infiltrated operatives 199 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 3: and these are intelligence officers. But they are unique in 200 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: the sense that they are here not necessarily to collect secrets, 201 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: although if opportunity to present themselves, they do that too, 202 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 3: But they are here to infiltrate the Democratic Party and 203 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 3: get close to decision makers within the US government so 204 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: they can influence policy. And so all of these people 205 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:01,319 Speaker 3: have been very close to the Democratic Party, and they've 206 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: been trying to uh to shape our laws, right because 207 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 3: remember the Congress people are creating, uh, the legislative branch 208 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 3: is uh writing and implementing these laws. But people who 209 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 3: are putting certain narratives into the brains of people like 210 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 3: Dane Feinstein and all of these Eric Swolfo, they are 211 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 3: under the influence of the policies of the Chinese government. 212 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 3: And so everything that we see right now unfolding, especially 213 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 3: during the election season, is a result of decades worth 214 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 3: of influence, not just months, not just days or weeks, decades, 215 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 3: And that's how China operates well. 216 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: And that's just you know Russia and you know China. 217 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: You know, we also saw that you know, Biden's are 218 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: on envoy Robert Bally had his Maley had his security 219 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: clearance suspended, has been investigated by the FBI as well. 220 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: And then you have New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez how 221 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: to resign after being convicted for acting as an agent 222 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: on behalf of the Egyptian government. So it's like it 223 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: kind of makes you wonder how much of our public 224 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: policy is dictated by foreign influenced a lot? 225 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 3: And that's and that's a good question. And that is 226 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: because the foreign advisories they have figured out how our 227 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: system works, right, and we have something called lobbying in 228 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 3: for example, like Russia doesn't have lobby and lobbying is 229 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 3: in America. It's a it's a legitimate way of shaping laws, right, 230 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 3: it's a it's a legal way of shaping laws. But 231 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 3: it was not meant to be used by foreign adversaries. 232 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 3: And so they've been paying attention. And that's exactly what 233 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 3: they're trying to do, is covert lowering by placing these operatives, 234 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 3: you know, Chinese, Iranians, the Russians, by the way, they 235 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 3: do the same thing. Remember the keen Russian operatives that 236 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 3: former President Obama sent back to Russia. Unfortunately, right, instead 237 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 3: of turning them and flipping them and having them work 238 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 3: for US intelligence, he just sent them back to Russia. 239 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 3: But that's exactly what they were doing here as well, 240 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: and they got very close to Hillary Clinton's circle, and 241 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 3: that's exactly why the FBI pulled the trigger on arresting 242 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 3: those ten illegals. That's another form of a contestine intelligence officer. 243 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 3: They're called illegals I legalis in Russian. So all of 244 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 3: these countries do that, and unfortunately there's no account to both. 245 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,679 Speaker 3: And nobody sat down and actually reviewed these laws and 246 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 3: some does this law actually benefit the United States or 247 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 3: does it benefit another country? And especially right now when 248 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 3: we see, for example, a report has come out on 249 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 3: deployment report that is actually foreign born the folks here 250 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 3: in America that gaining more jobs than American born, Right, 251 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 3: how did that happen? Well, Kamala Harris have led all 252 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 3: of these people in and it's not just crime that 253 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 3: the result is. It's not just crime, it's also changing 254 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: the entire employment landscape of this country. How did that 255 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 3: idea come to Kamala Harris and to her circle whoever 256 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 3: is pushing that, who originally planted that idea? And it's 257 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 3: definitely not in the interest of US security, or US 258 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 3: stability or even economic prosperity of the American people. It's 259 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 3: in someone else's interest, it's very clear. 260 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got a lot of foreign money going 261 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: to universities in the country as well. And then you've 262 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: got the Biden family into the Department of Justice found 263 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: that they've made something like twenty seven million dollars from 264 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, foreign entities and foreign business people. It's very 265 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: hard to imagine that that didn't influence policy making, you know, 266 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's policy making decisions. And to your point, you know, 267 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: we're supposed to have the Foreign Asians Registration Act, which 268 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: in my opinion, should be heavily enforced across the board, 269 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: but unfortunately we sort of see an unequal application of it. 270 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: It's typically used for political reasons, and I think if 271 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,119 Speaker 1: it was actually applied universally and evenly and justly and 272 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: not in the name of politics, that might go a 273 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 1: long way and keeping some of this you know, foreign influence, 274 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: or at least keeping people honest knowing who's you know 275 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 1: working on behalf of hill. 276 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 3: Uh. 277 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to shift gears for for a 278 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: minute and just kind of get from you. You know, 279 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: what's it's hard to really ever know what's going on 280 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: with the war between Russia and Ukraine. Where do things 281 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: stand right now in that war? 282 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 3: Yes, it is very hard. And you know why, Lisa, 283 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: is because the US media is really not covering it accurately. 284 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 3: Because again there's this narrative, very simplistic narrative that is 285 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 3: spread not just in the years but across Western media, 286 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 3: and it's very simplistic. Put in bads, let's get good, 287 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 3: Russia bad, Ukraine good. So here's what's going on. Effectively, 288 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: this war is in a stalemate. But uh, there's no 289 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: military path for victory for Ukraine and so eventually you 290 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 3: Raine will collapse. That is my professional intelligence assessment. And 291 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 3: here's why from the very beginning this fight was an 292 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 3: unfair fight. You have a small country of Ukraine with 293 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 3: forty three million people population and you have Russia with 294 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 3: one hundred and forty three million population. In the military 295 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 3: that the Pentagon itself has designated as a near peer competitor. 296 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 3: What does it mean a peer competitor. It means that 297 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 3: the Russian military, both capability wise and doctrine wise, is 298 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 3: comparable to US military. How do I know this to 299 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 3: be true is because again it's codified already within the 300 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 3: Pentagon's doctrine. I personally in June briefed the Northern Command 301 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: Combatant Command. Northern Command is on North comb we call 302 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 3: it is the command that is protecting the United States 303 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 3: from foreign missile strikes, including from Russia, China, et cetera. 304 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: I was briefing them on the Russian war fighting strategy 305 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 3: and Putin's mindset. They are very concerned about escalation. And 306 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 3: so despite the fact that we have all these media 307 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 3: types saying how the Russian military doesn't know, you know, 308 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: how to properly hold an ik, you know, forty seven. 309 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 3: I'm kind of, you know, marking a little bit tight here, 310 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 3: but that's what essentially they've been saying. The Russians can't fight. Eventually, 311 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 3: Ukraine is going to be destroyed because it's already the 312 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 3: critical infrastructure is almost entirely destroyed. By Putin has prepared 313 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:54,479 Speaker 3: to fight a very long, protracted war It's called the 314 00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 3: war of attrition trinally, and he will prevail simp because 315 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 3: Russia has three times more people and it has a transition. 316 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 3: Putting has traditioned its military and economy on a wartime 317 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 3: footing seven years prior to the invasion, so he is 318 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 3: going to our class and we, on the other hand, 319 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 3: all of this weaponry that we have provided to Ukraine 320 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 3: and two hundred million dollars worth of military assistance, both 321 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 3: in cash and the military hardware, we are depleting our 322 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 3: own arsenal already, right we are two dangerously low levels 323 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty five millimeter shells and a javelin stingers. 324 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 3: It's going to take us anywhere from five to eighteen 325 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 3: years to replace. And so who understands that those resources 326 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 3: are not finite and the patients of the American voter 327 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 3: and the taxpay is not finite either, And so the 328 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 3: longer the lens Ski weights to negotiate, the more Ukraine 329 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 3: is going to be destroyed. And it's already ceasing to 330 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 3: exist as a viable independent country because it completely relies 331 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 3: on us, the United States and on the West for 332 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 3: its existence. We're providing about fifty percent of its GDP, 333 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 3: and the Ukraine government will collapse as soon as we 334 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 3: pull that assistance. 335 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: We've got more with Rebecca, but first we're quickly approaching 336 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: the one year anniversary of the horrific Commas attacks on Israel, 337 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: and still the Holy Land continues to be attacked on 338 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: multiple fronts. Deadly threats are increasing in northern Israel. Constant 339 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: rocket attacks from Hesba have been fired at Israel, causing 340 00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: widespread damage, with raging wildfires destroying precious farmland. Since the 341 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: war started, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has 342 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: been on the forefront in Israel, addressing the needs of 343 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: the most vulnerable.

Israel needs or support now so, 357 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,400 Speaker 1: you know, there's been a lot of reporting on Ukraine's 358 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: offensive into Russia's Cursk Cursk, I'm saying that region. Yes, 359 00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: you know, what do you make of that offensive? Does 360 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: that changed the dynamics of the war at all? 361 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 3: You know? 362 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 2: Is there a significance to that? You know, I guess 363 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 2: what does that mean? 364 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: So there's there's. 365 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:15,119 Speaker 4: A little bit of significance here in the sense that 366 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 4: Lendscape has demonstrated that he is able to. 367 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 3: To violate Russia's traditional red line. What is the red line? 368 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 3: The territorial integrity and sovereignty of Russia has not been 369 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 3: violated since World War Two. Well, Zelenski was able to 370 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 3: do that, but Putin has retaliated massively. Uh, And it's 371 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 3: not going to dramatically change anything in terms of the 372 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 3: dynamics of the war and in terms of the outcome 373 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: of the war. The reason why Zlanskap did that, in 374 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 3: my assessment, is because he wanted to demonstrate to the 375 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 3: United States and to the West that he can stay 376 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 3: in the fight. Because what he's concerned right now is 377 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 3: to lose, you know, to lose our money, to lose 378 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 3: our military hardware. And he's also desperate because remember Zelenski, 379 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 3: because the entire career is dependent on this narrative that 380 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 3: the Western media has created that he is this amazing 381 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 3: you know, democratic leader Churchill in the T shirt, and 382 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 3: nothing can be further from the truth. Z Lanski is 383 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 3: a mini cho whutin he is only you know he's 384 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 3: he's not a democratic leader because he has outlawed all 385 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 3: of the opposition. He outlawed all of the independent media 386 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 3: in Ukraine. The intelligence services who work for Zelenski, the SBU, 387 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 3: s Luzburg Spee Ukraine, they grant Ukrainian men off the 388 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 3: street to send them to the front line because nobody 389 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 3: wants to go fight anymore. And so this man is 390 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 3: effectively having its own country destroyed by unwilling to actually 391 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 3: come up with achievable war goals, because he has articulated 392 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 3: his definition of victory to be able to kick the 393 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: Russians out of the entire Ukraine, and that's unachievable because 394 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,119 Speaker 3: Russians control about twenty percent of Ukraine. And so the 395 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 3: fighting is going to go on as long as nobody 396 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,240 Speaker 3: pushes Pudin and Zolenski to sit down at the table 397 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 3: and actually negotiate and stop the senseless dying of Ukrainians 398 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 3: because these are healthy, young European men, you know, child 399 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 3: producing age, that are simply being illuminated from the Dean pool, 400 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 3: if you will, Right now. 401 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 1: Before we go, why is the left so obsessed with Russia? 402 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: I think most normal people objectively would say, Okay, Russia 403 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 1: is not her friend, China is not her friend, Iran 404 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: is not her friend, and recognize that these countries are adversaries. 405 00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: But then the media and the left only focus on 406 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: you know, they ignore the Chinese infiltration into our country, 407 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 1: they ignore the Iranian infiltration, but they solely focus on 408 00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: the Russian infiltration. It's just it's strange. You would think 409 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: that we would be equally concerned about any enemy nation, 410 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: any adversary trying to influence impact metal with her country, 411 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: but it's only Russia they focus on. You know, why 412 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: are they so obsessed with Russia? 413 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 3: Well that's the one question that I'm afraid I can't answer, Lisa, 414 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 3: because I've been bewildered myself, because you have Shi Jimping, 415 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 3: who is as much of a dictator and as much 416 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,280 Speaker 3: of a murder right, if you will, as look what's 417 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 3: going on with the wiers, right, it's there's there's effectively 418 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 3: genocide that's going on. Uh, and yet we are you know, 419 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 3: in on good terms relatively speaking with with China because 420 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 3: we're so dependent on the economically. I have no idea 421 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 3: why there's such an obsession, uh with Russia. My only 422 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 3: guest is that there's such a preconceived institutional anti Russia 423 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 3: bias because remember, uh, the United States and uh the 424 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 3: Union have been at war sort of uh, non kinetic war, 425 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 3: but right the Cold War was lasting for decades and 426 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: the United States has won. Although right now you're going 427 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 3: to actually, you know, argue the other way because the 428 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: United States is now basically turning into USSI to the 429 00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 3: zero because of of the Sovietization of americ everything that 430 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 3: I experienced back in the year. So it's the censorship, 431 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 3: the government control, and it's all has come here to 432 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 3: the United States. But so I don't know, I don't 433 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 3: know exactly why there's such obsession with Russia. It beats me, honestly. 434 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got like Iron saying death to America, 435 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: yet they've infiltrated the Biden administration. It's like you just think, 436 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's weird to me. It's like, 437 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: I think we could equally say that, you know, none 438 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: of these countries are our friends, we should be concerned about, 439 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: you know, any enemy influence into the country. But it's 440 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: just just strange the hyper focus on one country as 441 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: opposed to just you know, being concerned about all of it. 442 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 3: But exactly, yeah, one thing, one thing I want to 443 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 3: mention here. Yes, we should be concerned, just like you said, 444 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 3: about all foreign adversaries, and we should be prepared for 445 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 3: the worst case scenario because yes, they're chanting the Iranians 446 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 3: death to Americans. And the intelligence community's assessment is that 447 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 3: Iran has been developing clandesta networks within our country for 448 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 3: a decade, okay, and so and instead here we are 449 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 3: sending all of our weaponry to Ukraine, depleting our own arsenal. 450 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: We have China that is getting ready to invade Taiwan, 451 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 3: and one of the high rank in generals, who is 452 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 3: the head of the Air Mobility Command, which is part 453 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 3: of the Transportation Command, has assessed that China can invade 454 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 3: Taiwan as early as twenty twenty five, which is just 455 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 3: a few months from now. And we actually, unlike Ukraine, 456 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 3: who is even not our traditional ally, right, it's not 457 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 3: part of NATO. Is just you know, somebody just decided 458 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 3: we're going to make Ukraine an ally, but Taiwan, we 459 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 3: actually have an obligation to defend them. How are we 460 00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 3: gonna and if things go bad? Both Russian and China 461 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 3: have the doctrine to target, at least in the beginning, 462 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 3: non kinetically, to target the United States. And we have 463 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 3: no answer for that because we are running out of 464 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,960 Speaker 3: capability by sending it to Ukraine, and we even have 465 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 3: forced is Rill to give some of the weaponry to Ukraine. 466 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 3: I mean, it makes no sense to me whoever is 467 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 3: running the show over there, And now I have no 468 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 3: idea who's running the show. It's clearly not Biden, but 469 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 3: that person is either incompetent or they maliciously are making 470 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 3: decisions that go against your security and against yours economic prosparity. 471 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we have open borders, and you know 472 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: you had mentioned the Iranian Clindestine you know, operations here 473 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: in the United States. We've we've basically rolled out the 474 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 1: red carpet for bad actors to get into the country. 475 00:32:54,360 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 3: So you know, yes, I'm incasingly I'm increasingly concerned Lisa. 476 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 3: We have September eleventh next Wednesday, and with me being 477 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 3: the intelligence officer, I constantly watch for what we've on 478 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 3: the intelligence business. I am w indications and warnings, and 479 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 3: what I see right now in terms of threat level rising, 480 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 3: I really do not like. Because what you see in 481 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 3: Aurora right now in the Venezuelan Gang, that show is 482 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 3: coming to a city near you, and I am really 483 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 3: concerned about September eleven. 484 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 1: I am too, well, you know, prayers for safety of 485 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: the country.
