Speaker 1: Russia, Russia, Russia, Well, Russia's back in the news. The
Speaker 1: Department of Justice has insisted on that they just announced
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice did that they were seizing thirty
Speaker 1: two domains tied to Russian influence campaign. Basically, these court
Speaker 1: documents alleged that rt a Russia state media network which
Speaker 1: was previously called Russia Today, that they deployed nearly ten
Speaker 1: million dollars to finance and direct a Tennessee based online
Speaker 1: content company to post videos I guess, you know, allegedly
Speaker 1: pushing propaganda and whatnot.
Speaker 2: But we've seen a.
Speaker 1: Lot of this, right, I mean, we recently found out
Speaker 1: that Governor Kathy Hokel had an alleged Chinese spy working
Speaker 1: for her office for nearly a decade. That comes on
Speaker 1: the heels of previously learning that Eric Swolwell was caught
Speaker 1: with a Chinese spy having connections to Fengfeng. We know
Speaker 1: that Diane Feinstein Center, Diane Feinstein had employed a Chinese.
Speaker 2: Spies your driver for quite some time.
Speaker 1: You know. There's also been newss are on Envoy Robert
Speaker 1: Malley had a security clearance suspended was also under investigation
Speaker 1: by the FBI. Senator Bob Menendez how to resign following
Speaker 1: a conviction for acting as an agent for the Egyptian government.
Speaker 1: You know, Mayor Adams is under investigation in relation to Turkey.
Speaker 1: So a lot of influence by foreign actors, right, you know,
Speaker 1: this is all what's been alleged, a lot of this influence.
Speaker 1: So why the specific focus on Russia by the left
Speaker 1: and the media. I think most normal people would say, hey, look,
Speaker 1: I don't want any foreign adversary to be messing with
Speaker 1: our country. I don't want them infiltrating or politicians. I
Speaker 1: don't want them having influence in our public policy decisions
Speaker 1: that are lawmakers are making. I think that's a normal
Speaker 1: conclusion for us all to draw of saying all these countries,
Speaker 1: I just listed our enemies. They're not our friends.
Speaker 2: So why just the focus on Russia?
Speaker 1: And why now when you know there were some you know,
Speaker 1: conservative people tied up in the recent DOJ drop, you know,
Speaker 1: particularly after we've already seen the FBI and the Department
Speaker 1: of Justice engaged in the Russia hoax against Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: We know that fifty one former intelligence officers lied to
Speaker 1: US about Russian disinformation, claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was
Speaker 1: Russian disinformation? So what a make of all of this?
Speaker 1: You know Rebecca Kaufler, we've had her on the show before.
Speaker 1: She's the author of Putin's playbook, Russia's Secret Plan to
Speaker 1: Defeat America. She's also a former intelligence officer who served
Speaker 1: as a Russian doctrine and strategy specialist in the Defense
Speaker 1: Intelligence Agency from twy and eight to twenty sixteen.
Speaker 2: We're going to get her take on all of this.
Speaker 2: What should you know?
Speaker 1: How much influence do these enemy nations have in our country?
Speaker 1: And why this dropped from the Department of Justice now
Speaker 1: heading into the election. What's the intention behind it? Is
Speaker 1: it just because people did something bad or are they
Speaker 1: trying to again influence our elections. We'll also get into
Speaker 1: to where the war between Russia and Ukraine stand today.
Speaker 1: It's hard to really know, so we'll dig into that
Speaker 1: with her. So a lot to get to stay tuned for.
Speaker 1: Rebecca Coffler. Well, Rebecca, it's great to have you.
Speaker 2: Back on the show. Appreciate you making the time.
Speaker 3: Of course, thanks for having me, Lisa.
Speaker 1: I wanted to get you know, Russia is back in
Speaker 1: the news. I mean, I guess it really hasn't left.
Speaker 1: But so the Justice Department just announced that it was
Speaker 1: seizing thirty two domains tied to what they call a
Speaker 1: Russian influence campaign. They alleged that, you know, these influencers
Speaker 1: were basically used in the United States on behalf of
Speaker 1: Russia to push propaganda. What do you make of this
Speaker 1: announcement from the Department of Justice and what should people
Speaker 1: know about it?
Speaker 3: Sure two things, Lisa. Yes, Russia traditionally does try to
Speaker 3: into veen in the US elections, right, just like China does,
Speaker 3: and a lot of other countries do. Any major US
Speaker 3: adversary with their standard intelligence service does that, just like
Speaker 3: the United States. We do that to other countries. There's
Speaker 3: a doctrine that the Russians have of elections sabotaged. And yes,
Speaker 3: this announcement is accurate, but only partially because the Russians
Speaker 3: don't do this to elect a specific person. They know
Speaker 3: that they are not capable of that it's the US
Speaker 3: voter that chooses the US president. They do that for
Speaker 3: a completely different reason. They do that to foment conditions
Speaker 3: for social unrest. There's another doctrine called control instability. But
Speaker 3: what's also interesting about the timing of this release, the
Speaker 3: US spy agencies are actually either deliberately not understand either
Speaker 3: unintentionally they don't understand the Russian doctrine, or they understand it,
Speaker 3: and they push this narrative right now saying that the
Speaker 3: Russians are trying to elect Donald Trump, they favored Trump,
Speaker 3: And isn't it interesting that just two months before the election,
Speaker 3: here we go again they're pushing that very same narrative.
Speaker 3: It's them for trying to intervene in the election. It's
Speaker 3: the US spy agency instead are trying to do that.
Speaker 1: In my assess, you know, they said that the documents
Speaker 1: alleged that you know, RTI, which used to be Russia today,
Speaker 1: deployed nearly ten million to finance in direct to Tennessee
Speaker 1: based online content creation company to post certain videos. I
Speaker 1: guess you'd kind of mention of what some of the
Speaker 1: things that Russia tries to do. How influential have their
Speaker 1: actions been and you know, trying to push some of
Speaker 1: these propaganda, you know, I mean, is it effective at all?
Speaker 2: Do you think?
Speaker 3: Well, it depends on how you measure effectiveness. Again, what
Speaker 3: the Russians are trying to do, they are trying to
Speaker 3: pit Americans against one another. Uh, they're tailoring their narratives
Speaker 3: to drive divisions among like religious people versus non religious people,
Speaker 3: right pro police and against police. So but we, in fact,
Speaker 3: we are already doing it to ourselves, right, just by
Speaker 3: virtue of Kamala Harris. You know, she comes out and
Speaker 3: she starts, you know, targeting certain people also, like Christians,
Speaker 3: like JD. Van like she's attacking him. And so what
Speaker 3: the Russians are trying to do they is simply amplifying this.
Speaker 3: But if you measure effectiveness but by Russian ability to
Speaker 3: actually change votes, then no, they don't have such capability.
Speaker 3: They have not changed a single vote. So they're creating
Speaker 3: all of that commotion, but it's not effective when it
Speaker 3: comes to actual election influence. It's more of creating disorder.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: It's the timing suspicions on behalf of the Department of Justice.
Speaker 1: You know, they typically have a sixty day rule of
Speaker 1: sort of impartiality to not try to influence elections. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know there are you know, quote unquote conservative commentators
Speaker 1: that are you know named in here and have been
Speaker 1: in the news with this. You know, obviously conservatives have
Speaker 1: suspicions on the way the Department of Justice and the
Speaker 1: FBI have handled things involving Russia in the past. You know,
Speaker 1: we all saw, we've discussed the Russia hoax that was
Speaker 1: weaponized against Donald Trump, and then we also saw, you know,
Speaker 1: fifty one former intelligence officers lie about Hunter Biden's laptop
Speaker 1: to the public, saying it was Russian disinformation when it
Speaker 1: was not. So I guess, does this timing of this
Speaker 1: strike you, as you know, interesting or suspicious on behalf
Speaker 1: of the Department of Justice, or you know, kind of
Speaker 1: what do you make of that aspect of this?
Speaker 3: One hundred percent, I am very very suspicious of the
Speaker 3: timing of this release. And here's why. I mean, we
Speaker 3: already know that the Obama administration, the spy agencies, and
Speaker 3: the Department of Justice completely weaponized the bureaucracy against Donald
Speaker 3: Trump to create that Russia Trump collusion hoax that never existed.
Speaker 3: And at that point, at that time, I was in
Speaker 3: the intelligence service, right in the intelligence community, in the
Speaker 3: DiiA Defense Intelligence Agency, and we know that, and I
Speaker 3: knew back then that it's John Brennan, the Obama CIA director,
Speaker 3: James Comy, Obama's FBI director, and James Clapp of the
Speaker 3: Director of National Intelligence in the Obama administration, they drove
Speaker 3: the creation of the so called Intelligence Community Assessment that
Speaker 3: was published the declassified version of it on January seventh,
Speaker 3: or six, rather twenty seventeen, and that assessment claimed that
Speaker 3: the Russians preferred Trump, and there was there and that's
Speaker 3: what pushed out that false narrative of the collusion, and
Speaker 3: that's when the whole thing started. And here they come again, right,
Speaker 3: And all they need to do is just so doubt
Speaker 3: in the minds of Americans and use the word Trump
Speaker 3: in the word Russia or Trump and Pudtin in the
Speaker 3: same sentence. And certain people who are already preconditioned to
Speaker 3: believe that they immediately will eat it up. And so
Speaker 3: that's exactly the interesting bit about this, Lisa, is that
Speaker 3: that's exactly how the Russians operate as well. They never
Speaker 3: try to convert a person who is of the opposite
Speaker 3: belief right. If you are a conservative, the Russians are
Speaker 3: never trying to make you a liberal. But they already
Speaker 3: are planting certain narratives to people who already to predispose
Speaker 3: for certain beliefs. And the Justice Department adopted Putent's playbook.
Speaker 3: So they're doing the very exact same thing. And people
Speaker 3: who the only thing that they listen to see is
Speaker 3: a CNN and if they read New York Times, which
Speaker 3: basically has become the US version of Pravda, right, the
Speaker 3: Soviet Pravda, it's the it's the regime newspaper supporting the
Speaker 3: Harris Biden administration. And so those people who already predisposed
Speaker 3: to believe all of these hoaxes that are coming out
Speaker 3: of US by agencies and the Justice Department, they're going
Speaker 3: to believe that. And so, in fact, like I said,
Speaker 3: it's the Justice Department that is trying to influence the
Speaker 3: election by spreading, by amplifying this narrative.
Speaker 1: We've got a quick commercial break more with Rebecca on
Speaker 1: the other side. We've also just seen a lot of this,
Speaker 1: you know, across the board. I mean, we just learned that,
Speaker 1: you know, Governor Kathy Hochel had an alleged Chinese spy
Speaker 1: working for her office for nearly a decade. It was
Speaker 1: the former deputy chief of staff, Linda Sun. She was
Speaker 1: charged with eating Chinese officials.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: Eric Swollwell of course, was tied to Fengfeing a Chinese spy.
Speaker 1: You know, we know that Diane Feinstein had employed a
Speaker 1: Chinese spy. I think it was their driver for a
Speaker 1: long period of time. You know, unknowingly, we know that
Speaker 1: the Biden family has close ties to a lot of
Speaker 1: Chinese business individuals and Chinese companies. Uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: guess you know, how did how does China operate you know,
Speaker 1: to China and Rush operate similarly to influence elections? Or
Speaker 1: how does China you know do it? It seems like
Speaker 1: most of the their ties have been to democrats. We
Speaker 1: have Tim Walls, the vice president nominee for for DEMS,
Speaker 1: who has visited China something like thirty times. Like I
Speaker 1: guess is the Chinese does China more specifically target democrats?
Speaker 2: It seems is that is that the case?
Speaker 1: If so, why you know, what do you kind of
Speaker 1: make of China's desire to inflo and how they've got
Speaker 1: about it?
Speaker 3: Yes, the Chinese actually have penetrated the entire democratic apparatus
Speaker 3: if you will, and you I don't even need to
Speaker 3: name those, you have already done it, right, so uh,
Speaker 3: and they do that for decades. They have infiltrated operatives
Speaker 3: and these are intelligence officers. But they are unique in
Speaker 3: the sense that they are here not necessarily to collect secrets,
Speaker 3: although if opportunity to present themselves, they do that too,
Speaker 3: But they are here to infiltrate the Democratic Party and
Speaker 3: get close to decision makers within the US government so
Speaker 3: they can influence policy. And so all of these people
Speaker 3: have been very close to the Democratic Party, and they've
Speaker 3: been trying to uh to shape our laws, right because
Speaker 3: remember the Congress people are creating, uh, the legislative branch
Speaker 3: is uh writing and implementing these laws. But people who
Speaker 3: are putting certain narratives into the brains of people like
Speaker 3: Dane Feinstein and all of these Eric Swolfo, they are
Speaker 3: under the influence of the policies of the Chinese government.
Speaker 3: And so everything that we see right now unfolding, especially
Speaker 3: during the election season, is a result of decades worth
Speaker 3: of influence, not just months, not just days or weeks, decades,
Speaker 3: And that's how China operates well.
Speaker 1: And that's just you know Russia and you know China.
Speaker 1: You know, we also saw that you know, Biden's are
Speaker 1: on envoy Robert Bally had his Maley had his security
Speaker 1: clearance suspended, has been investigated by the FBI as well.
Speaker 1: And then you have New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez how
Speaker 1: to resign after being convicted for acting as an agent
Speaker 1: on behalf of the Egyptian government. So it's like it
Speaker 1: kind of makes you wonder how much of our public
Speaker 1: policy is dictated by foreign influenced a lot?
Speaker 3: And that's and that's a good question. And that is
Speaker 3: because the foreign advisories they have figured out how our
Speaker 3: system works, right, and we have something called lobbying in
Speaker 3: for example, like Russia doesn't have lobby and lobbying is
Speaker 3: in America. It's a it's a legitimate way of shaping laws, right,
Speaker 3: it's a it's a legal way of shaping laws. But
Speaker 3: it was not meant to be used by foreign adversaries.
Speaker 3: And so they've been paying attention. And that's exactly what
Speaker 3: they're trying to do, is covert lowering by placing these operatives,
Speaker 3: you know, Chinese, Iranians, the Russians, by the way, they
Speaker 3: do the same thing. Remember the keen Russian operatives that
Speaker 3: former President Obama sent back to Russia. Unfortunately, right, instead
Speaker 3: of turning them and flipping them and having them work
Speaker 3: for US intelligence, he just sent them back to Russia.
Speaker 3: But that's exactly what they were doing here as well,
Speaker 3: and they got very close to Hillary Clinton's circle, and
Speaker 3: that's exactly why the FBI pulled the trigger on arresting
Speaker 3: those ten illegals. That's another form of a contestine intelligence officer.
Speaker 3: They're called illegals I legalis in Russian. So all of
Speaker 3: these countries do that, and unfortunately there's no account to both.
Speaker 3: And nobody sat down and actually reviewed these laws and
Speaker 3: some does this law actually benefit the United States or
Speaker 3: does it benefit another country? And especially right now when
Speaker 3: we see, for example, a report has come out on
Speaker 3: deployment report that is actually foreign born the folks here
Speaker 3: in America that gaining more jobs than American born, Right,
Speaker 3: how did that happen? Well, Kamala Harris have led all
Speaker 3: of these people in and it's not just crime that
Speaker 3: the result is. It's not just crime, it's also changing
Speaker 3: the entire employment landscape of this country. How did that
Speaker 3: idea come to Kamala Harris and to her circle whoever
Speaker 3: is pushing that, who originally planted that idea? And it's
Speaker 3: definitely not in the interest of US security, or US
Speaker 3: stability or even economic prosperity of the American people. It's
Speaker 3: in someone else's interest, it's very clear.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got a lot of foreign money going
Speaker 1: to universities in the country as well. And then you've
Speaker 1: got the Biden family into the Department of Justice found
Speaker 1: that they've made something like twenty seven million dollars from
Speaker 1: you know, foreign entities and foreign business people. It's very
Speaker 1: hard to imagine that that didn't influence policy making, you know,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's policy making decisions. And to your point, you know,
Speaker 1: we're supposed to have the Foreign Asians Registration Act, which
Speaker 1: in my opinion, should be heavily enforced across the board,
Speaker 1: but unfortunately we sort of see an unequal application of it.
Speaker 1: It's typically used for political reasons, and I think if
Speaker 1: it was actually applied universally and evenly and justly and
Speaker 1: not in the name of politics, that might go a
Speaker 1: long way and keeping some of this you know, foreign influence,
Speaker 1: or at least keeping people honest knowing who's you know
Speaker 1: working on behalf of hill.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to shift gears for for a
Speaker 1: minute and just kind of get from you. You know,
Speaker 1: what's it's hard to really ever know what's going on
Speaker 1: with the war between Russia and Ukraine. Where do things
Speaker 1: stand right now in that war?
Speaker 3: Yes, it is very hard. And you know why, Lisa,
Speaker 3: is because the US media is really not covering it accurately.
Speaker 3: Because again there's this narrative, very simplistic narrative that is
Speaker 3: spread not just in the years but across Western media,
Speaker 3: and it's very simplistic. Put in bads, let's get good,
Speaker 3: Russia bad, Ukraine good. So here's what's going on. Effectively,
Speaker 3: this war is in a stalemate. But uh, there's no
Speaker 3: military path for victory for Ukraine and so eventually you
Speaker 3: Raine will collapse. That is my professional intelligence assessment. And
Speaker 3: here's why from the very beginning this fight was an
Speaker 3: unfair fight. You have a small country of Ukraine with
Speaker 3: forty three million people population and you have Russia with
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty three million population. In the military
Speaker 3: that the Pentagon itself has designated as a near peer competitor.
Speaker 3: What does it mean a peer competitor. It means that
Speaker 3: the Russian military, both capability wise and doctrine wise, is
Speaker 3: comparable to US military. How do I know this to
Speaker 3: be true is because again it's codified already within the
Speaker 3: Pentagon's doctrine. I personally in June briefed the Northern Command
Speaker 3: Combatant Command. Northern Command is on North comb we call
Speaker 3: it is the command that is protecting the United States
Speaker 3: from foreign missile strikes, including from Russia, China, et cetera.
Speaker 3: I was briefing them on the Russian war fighting strategy
Speaker 3: and Putin's mindset. They are very concerned about escalation. And
Speaker 3: so despite the fact that we have all these media
Speaker 3: types saying how the Russian military doesn't know, you know,
Speaker 3: how to properly hold an ik, you know, forty seven.
Speaker 3: I'm kind of, you know, marking a little bit tight here,
Speaker 3: but that's what essentially they've been saying. The Russians can't fight. Eventually,
Speaker 3: Ukraine is going to be destroyed because it's already the
Speaker 3: critical infrastructure is almost entirely destroyed. By Putin has prepared
Speaker 3: to fight a very long, protracted war It's called the
Speaker 3: war of attrition trinally, and he will prevail simp because
Speaker 3: Russia has three times more people and it has a transition.
Speaker 3: Putting has traditioned its military and economy on a wartime
Speaker 3: footing seven years prior to the invasion, so he is
Speaker 3: going to our class and we, on the other hand,
Speaker 3: all of this weaponry that we have provided to Ukraine
Speaker 3: and two hundred million dollars worth of military assistance, both
Speaker 3: in cash and the military hardware, we are depleting our
Speaker 3: own arsenal already, right we are two dangerously low levels
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty five millimeter shells and a javelin stingers.
Speaker 3: It's going to take us anywhere from five to eighteen
Speaker 3: years to replace. And so who understands that those resources
Speaker 3: are not finite and the patients of the American voter
Speaker 3: and the taxpay is not finite either, And so the
Speaker 3: longer the lens Ski weights to negotiate, the more Ukraine
Speaker 3: is going to be destroyed. And it's already ceasing to
Speaker 3: exist as a viable independent country because it completely relies
Speaker 3: on us, the United States and on the West for
Speaker 3: its existence. We're providing about fifty percent of its GDP,
Speaker 3: and the Ukraine government will collapse as soon as we
Speaker 3: pull that assistance.
Speaker 1: We've got more with Rebecca, but first we're quickly approaching
Speaker 1: the one year anniversary of the horrific Commas attacks on Israel,
Speaker 1: and still the Holy Land continues to be attacked on
Speaker 1: multiple fronts. Deadly threats are increasing in northern Israel. Constant
Speaker 1: rocket attacks from Hesba have been fired at Israel, causing
Speaker 1: widespread damage, with raging wildfires destroying precious farmland. Since the
Speaker 1: war started, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has
Speaker 1: been on the forefront in Israel, addressing the needs of
Speaker 1: the most vulnerable. That's why I'm partnering with IFCJ today.
Speaker 1: Your life saving donation will help provide emergency food as
Speaker 1: well as critical security needs such as flak jackets, firefighting equipment,
Speaker 1: armored vehicles, bomb shelters, and so much more. We're looking
Speaker 1: for five hundred listeners to join the Fellowship and me
Speaker 1: by donating one hundred and fifty dollars to meet these
Speaker 1: urgent security needs. And thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter,
Speaker 1: your gift will be matched, doubling your impact in.
Speaker 2: The Holy Land.
Speaker 1: Call to make your gift right now at eight eight
Speaker 1: eight for eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight four
Speaker 1: eight eight IFCJ or four three two five or go
Speaker 1: online to support IFCJ dot org to give. That's one
Speaker 1: word support IFCJ dot org. Israel needs or support now so,
Speaker 1: you know, there's been a lot of reporting on Ukraine's
Speaker 1: offensive into Russia's Cursk Cursk, I'm saying that region. Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, what do you make of that offensive? Does
Speaker 1: that changed the dynamics of the war at all?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Is there a significance to that? You know, I guess
Speaker 2: what does that mean?
Speaker 3: So there's there's.
Speaker 4: A little bit of significance here in the sense that
Speaker 4: Lendscape has demonstrated that he is able to.
Speaker 3: To violate Russia's traditional red line. What is the red line?
Speaker 3: The territorial integrity and sovereignty of Russia has not been
Speaker 3: violated since World War Two. Well, Zelenski was able to
Speaker 3: do that, but Putin has retaliated massively. Uh, And it's
Speaker 3: not going to dramatically change anything in terms of the
Speaker 3: dynamics of the war and in terms of the outcome
Speaker 3: of the war. The reason why Zlanskap did that, in
Speaker 3: my assessment, is because he wanted to demonstrate to the
Speaker 3: United States and to the West that he can stay
Speaker 3: in the fight. Because what he's concerned right now is
Speaker 3: to lose, you know, to lose our money, to lose
Speaker 3: our military hardware. And he's also desperate because remember Zelenski,
Speaker 3: because the entire career is dependent on this narrative that
Speaker 3: the Western media has created that he is this amazing
Speaker 3: you know, democratic leader Churchill in the T shirt, and
Speaker 3: nothing can be further from the truth. Z Lanski is
Speaker 3: a mini cho whutin he is only you know he's
Speaker 3: he's not a democratic leader because he has outlawed all
Speaker 3: of the opposition. He outlawed all of the independent media
Speaker 3: in Ukraine. The intelligence services who work for Zelenski, the SBU,
Speaker 3: s Luzburg Spee Ukraine, they grant Ukrainian men off the
Speaker 3: street to send them to the front line because nobody
Speaker 3: wants to go fight anymore. And so this man is
Speaker 3: effectively having its own country destroyed by unwilling to actually
Speaker 3: come up with achievable war goals, because he has articulated
Speaker 3: his definition of victory to be able to kick the
Speaker 3: Russians out of the entire Ukraine, and that's unachievable because
Speaker 3: Russians control about twenty percent of Ukraine. And so the
Speaker 3: fighting is going to go on as long as nobody
Speaker 3: pushes Pudin and Zolenski to sit down at the table
Speaker 3: and actually negotiate and stop the senseless dying of Ukrainians
Speaker 3: because these are healthy, young European men, you know, child
Speaker 3: producing age, that are simply being illuminated from the Dean pool,
Speaker 3: if you will, Right now.
Speaker 1: Before we go, why is the left so obsessed with Russia?
Speaker 1: I think most normal people objectively would say, Okay, Russia
Speaker 1: is not her friend, China is not her friend, Iran
Speaker 1: is not her friend, and recognize that these countries are adversaries.
Speaker 1: But then the media and the left only focus on
Speaker 1: you know, they ignore the Chinese infiltration into our country,
Speaker 1: they ignore the Iranian infiltration, but they solely focus on
Speaker 1: the Russian infiltration. It's just it's strange. You would think
Speaker 1: that we would be equally concerned about any enemy nation,
Speaker 1: any adversary trying to influence impact metal with her country,
Speaker 1: but it's only Russia they focus on. You know, why
Speaker 1: are they so obsessed with Russia?
Speaker 3: Well that's the one question that I'm afraid I can't answer, Lisa,
Speaker 3: because I've been bewildered myself, because you have Shi Jimping,
Speaker 3: who is as much of a dictator and as much
Speaker 3: of a murder right, if you will, as look what's
Speaker 3: going on with the wiers, right, it's there's there's effectively
Speaker 3: genocide that's going on. Uh, and yet we are you know,
Speaker 3: in on good terms relatively speaking with with China because
Speaker 3: we're so dependent on the economically. I have no idea
Speaker 3: why there's such an obsession, uh with Russia. My only
Speaker 3: guest is that there's such a preconceived institutional anti Russia
Speaker 3: bias because remember, uh, the United States and uh the
Speaker 3: Union have been at war sort of uh, non kinetic war,
Speaker 3: but right the Cold War was lasting for decades and
Speaker 3: the United States has won. Although right now you're going
Speaker 3: to actually, you know, argue the other way because the
Speaker 3: United States is now basically turning into USSI to the
Speaker 3: zero because of of the Sovietization of americ everything that
Speaker 3: I experienced back in the year. So it's the censorship,
Speaker 3: the government control, and it's all has come here to
Speaker 3: the United States. But so I don't know, I don't
Speaker 3: know exactly why there's such obsession with Russia. It beats me, honestly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you've got like Iron saying death to America,
Speaker 1: yet they've infiltrated the Biden administration. It's like you just think,
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's weird to me. It's like,
Speaker 1: I think we could equally say that, you know, none
Speaker 1: of these countries are our friends, we should be concerned about,
Speaker 1: you know, any enemy influence into the country. But it's
Speaker 1: just just strange the hyper focus on one country as
Speaker 1: opposed to just you know, being concerned about all of it.
Speaker 3: But exactly, yeah, one thing, one thing I want to
Speaker 3: mention here. Yes, we should be concerned, just like you said,
Speaker 3: about all foreign adversaries, and we should be prepared for
Speaker 3: the worst case scenario because yes, they're chanting the Iranians
Speaker 3: death to Americans. And the intelligence community's assessment is that
Speaker 3: Iran has been developing clandesta networks within our country for
Speaker 3: a decade, okay, and so and instead here we are
Speaker 3: sending all of our weaponry to Ukraine, depleting our own arsenal.
Speaker 3: We have China that is getting ready to invade Taiwan,
Speaker 3: and one of the high rank in generals, who is
Speaker 3: the head of the Air Mobility Command, which is part
Speaker 3: of the Transportation Command, has assessed that China can invade
Speaker 3: Taiwan as early as twenty twenty five, which is just
Speaker 3: a few months from now. And we actually, unlike Ukraine,
Speaker 3: who is even not our traditional ally, right, it's not
Speaker 3: part of NATO. Is just you know, somebody just decided
Speaker 3: we're going to make Ukraine an ally, but Taiwan, we
Speaker 3: actually have an obligation to defend them. How are we
Speaker 3: gonna and if things go bad? Both Russian and China
Speaker 3: have the doctrine to target, at least in the beginning,
Speaker 3: non kinetically, to target the United States. And we have
Speaker 3: no answer for that because we are running out of
Speaker 3: capability by sending it to Ukraine, and we even have
Speaker 3: forced is Rill to give some of the weaponry to Ukraine.
Speaker 3: I mean, it makes no sense to me whoever is
Speaker 3: running the show over there, And now I have no
Speaker 3: idea who's running the show. It's clearly not Biden, but
Speaker 3: that person is either incompetent or they maliciously are making
Speaker 3: decisions that go against your security and against yours economic prosparity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then we have open borders, and you know
Speaker 1: you had mentioned the Iranian Clindestine you know, operations here
Speaker 1: in the United States. We've we've basically rolled out the
Speaker 1: red carpet for bad actors to get into the country.
Speaker 3: So you know, yes, I'm incasingly I'm increasingly concerned Lisa.
Speaker 3: We have September eleventh next Wednesday, and with me being
Speaker 3: the intelligence officer, I constantly watch for what we've on
Speaker 3: the intelligence business. I am w indications and warnings, and
Speaker 3: what I see right now in terms of threat level rising,
Speaker 3: I really do not like. Because what you see in
Speaker 3: Aurora right now in the Venezuelan Gang, that show is
Speaker 3: coming to a city near you, and I am really
Speaker 3: concerned about September eleven.
Speaker 1: I am too, well, you know, prayers for safety of
Speaker 1: the country. Yeah, we're going through some tough times and
Speaker 1: so you know, hopefully Trump wins in November and hopefully
Speaker 1: that we're able to turn the ship around and bring
Speaker 1: some stability not only to the United States but around
Speaker 1: the world as well, because we're sure as hell not
Speaker 1: going to get that under Kamala Harris, so.
Speaker 3: And into that.
