• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I always think it's absolutely amazing how many stories are
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: always tied at once, because that's what I mean, that's
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: what I've done in my entire adult life, you know,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: kind of like dissecting stories for an audience who's interested
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: in what how does it affect your life? It's amazing
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: how many common ties pop up all the time like
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: this one. Just as President Trump and the entire entourage
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: apparently and family members. It tells you how big this
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: important meeting is. Are right now in China to meet
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: with Xi Jinping and all the Chinese officials about all
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: kinds of stuff and trade deals and all this other
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: thing in Irana? What are we gonna do? How are
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: we gonna split up the oil? While this is going on?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: We have right now a mayor now former mayor of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: an American city charged with spying for China. You can't like,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: you can't make it up. So it begs the question,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: as these two stories come across, does Trump bring it
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: up to Shi jin Ping during this meeting to in Beijing?
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: We better freaking hope. So I hope one of the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: reporters comes out of this meeting saying, President Trump, you know,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: did you discuss the mayor of Arcadia, California, being a
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Chinese spy with Chinese President shi Jinping. I hope Trump's
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: response is something like I bread it up to she
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I said, you gotta get the spies out of the country.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Not good, not good? We better or something you know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: stronger than that. I hope. So. Anyway, but we'll get
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: to this this. You couldn't make this up anyway. We'll
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: get to it. Thanks for finding Wicked Radio. We'll get
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to all the details here in a second. Some business first,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: the live stream, then the replay on x and YouTube
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and Facebook, and the audio podcast where most of you
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: find this, all of your favorite platforms. Check them out there. Now.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: You're probably not gonna believe me because if you haven't
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: seen the headline. If you're not, you didn't have time
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to pay that much attention to news, especially out of
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: your own community this week. Just so you know I'm
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: not making it up, let me give you the Southern
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: California news stations report on this. I don't usually like
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to play a reporter's wrap up of something, but here
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you go because it describes it perfect.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Cal Mayer by day, secret Chinese agent by night, bombshell
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: charges rocking a Southland city after its mayor suddenly resigns
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: her post and agrees to plead guilty to federal charges
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: of being a foreign agent of China. And this stunning
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: revelation coming just as President Donald Trump is set to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: travel to China this week.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yes, exactly two stories coming together. We have Chinese spies
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in mayoral positions in American Californian cities in southern California.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Apparently it's like a I think we can call it
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a suburb of villa. As he's meeting with China. I'll
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: say it again like I did in the introduction. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: hope he brings this up because it's just not one
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: isolated case as we're learning. But yeah, it's all happening. No,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, hold on, a second, hold on, We've
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: got this lady in this city. I've learned a lot
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: more than I ever knew about Arcadia, California. Maybe you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: know the community. Apparently it has a huge Chinese, American
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and Southeastern Asia population in the city itself, so it
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: makes sense. That's not the shocking part that Chinese mayor
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Chinese naturalized citizen by the way, mayor would be elected
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: mayor this California town. That all makes sense, But have
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: you ever seen anything like this. Let's go to her
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: campaign video back in twenty twenty, which is when she
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: was elected. Hold on side note very important here twenty twenty.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: What else was going on in twenty twenty? What else
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: were we told was oh, yeah, that's right. We were
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: distracted by idiot health officials telling us to oh, I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: don't know, shut down our business, mask up alone in cars.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Remember that whole time. We were a little distracted in
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty, which is why a lot of these people
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: got elected. Have you noticed now, all these years later,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: how many people that got elected now have been exposed
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: for fraud, espionage, other thing. Anyway, it's important part of
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the story, but maybe this is a little bit shocking.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Here's her actual campaign ad got her elected in California.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Adio, thanks me down city.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Wait king, Now you're saying I didn't understand that at all.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That's okay. You don't speak Chinese, you don't speak Mandarin.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: That was her ad. Should anybody be surprised by this?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Now that's not enough. No, that's not enough to say, oh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: you can't elect somebody like that. No, that's it again.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Naturalized American citizen born or raised in China. That's okay.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: She's part of a community that has a lot of
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Chinese Americans in It makes total sense. So far, it
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: does make sense, believe it or not, that her campaign
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: ad would be on local TV in Arcadia, California, in
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: only Chinese with the star spangled banner in the background,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: which I thought was kind of amazing. But it's more
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: than that. Let's go back to the news story. Okay,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: exactly what did she do wrong? How can you actually
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: come out and say that this mayor, an elected mayor
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of a of a of a city, was committing espionage.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It was a Chinese spy. How can you actually say that?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people are already saying, oh, come on, well,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: it's not the biggest American city, Arcadia, California. Yeah, but
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it's an American city anyway. I digress. Here's more of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the charges.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: According to prosecutors, Wang worked with Chinese officials from twenty
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: twenty to twenty twenty two, pushing pro China messaging through
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: a community news website without disclosing those alleged ties.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: She executed directives, She did what they told her to do,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: they'll give her praise for how well she's doing, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: she'll say, thank you, Leader.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: I I state your name, Eileen Wing.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: The accusations start contrast to just months ago that I.
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Will support and it Finns, the Constitution of the United States.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Spoke perfect things there, at least, you know, through an accent.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But that's fine, that's nothing. But as calling the Chinese
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: officials leader doing this, apparently she did it through a
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: lot of messaging and a lot of propaganda that happened here,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: and I guess a lot of this was all based
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: around some sort of publication she had and getting it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: out to her community, direct messaging that she was ordered
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to get out there and say bye the Chinese officials
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: back in Beijing, the CCP. It's an amazing story, but
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you gotta figure this can't There's no way this just
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: came out of the blue. There's no possible way this
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: came out that somebody in her community, neighbors, even as
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: mayor she's got to live there, would have known that
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: she's got ties to the CCP back home, who was
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: taking orders from them, and possibly they haven't even gotten
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: into the campaign finance funds of her yet. They haven't
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: even gotten into those charges yet. But somebody must have
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: known also in that town, not just the residents. They
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: have to have a city council, right, they have to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: have other politicians, former politicians, people that know, you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: how small cities are. They know the ins and outs,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: They know everybody, they know all their dirt. It's how
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: small town politics work. Somebody had to have known that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: this lady was on the take, or at the very
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: least very heavily influenced by the CCP back in China. Right,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: as it turns out, exactly right, here's one. Here's one
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: of the Arcadia City council members, Sharon Kwan. She knew
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: this and tried to warn the city and other council
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: members about the Chinese spy that eventually became there.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: Say that the outcome was entirely surprising.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Council Woman Sharon Kwan says she tried in chaotic city
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: council meetings to raise suspicions of Mayor Wang's actions, but
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: faced resistance.
• 7:22
  Speaker 6: It's just very important to protect democracy here and so
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: you know, and just to ensure that there's no foreign influence.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Anybody disagree with her. There's an actual city council member
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: in Arcadia, California, telling people other council members, other town officials,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: other people who live in that city. But the residents
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: that this, hey, you better not vote for Eileen Wang
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: because she's an actual Chinese spy. Nope, no one listen
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to her. But because and that gets to really what
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: this is all about, isn't it. There were there are
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: always signs. Don't let anybody, ever, when you raise suspicions,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: when you ask questions, they'll let them call you a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist, or a boomer or just a you know,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a xenophobe or whatever the hell you want to say,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: or any kind of a racist. Forget the name calling,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: because you know more than they do. If people were
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: allowed to ask the correct questions, this lady never would
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: have been elected in twenty twenty. Personally, I think what
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: we were going through in twenty twenty had a big
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: part to do with it. Probably nobody came out, I think,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: remember this is California. You want to talk about lockdowns, then,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: oh my god, they face them worse than anybody, I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: think from what I understand, So maybe a lot of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: people didn't even vote, and that's how she becomes me.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, she's not the only one talking about it,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: but she's also not the only mayor. You would have
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to imagine that this is going on. The shame of
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this whole thing is there are great let's just talk about,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you know, naturalized Chinese Americans here. There are some great
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: people who came who literally escaped communism from that country
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to come here to build a life, to become a leader.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And now because of Eileen Wang CCP SPY mayor of Arcadia, California,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: now they're gonna get the side eye and the different
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: look and harder to get elected and harder to get jobs.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: That's just a matter of fact. Because this story is
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: so bizarre and so huge. There's a great Chinese American leader.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Her name is Lily Tang Williams. She's from the Great
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: State Live Free or Die in New Hampshire who's running
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: for again a congressional seat with the GOP there. She
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: has said this for years. I've followed her for years.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: She has talked about, and this is a little scary,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the Chinese influence in every single sector of American life.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: She's talked about, Yeah, politics, big and small towns like
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: in California. She's talked about American farmland, American businesses, the
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: money that's going on here. You need to understand this
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: isn't just a story of and this is why I
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: want Trump to bring it up today. This isn't just
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: a story of a small town American mayor getting elected
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: and then being exposed as a Chinese spy. To anybody
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: that creates anything, Chinese. Ten tentacles from the CCP are
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: in every aspect of American life and business. Try to
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: talk to anybody that's written a book and sells it
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: on Amazon, intellectual property of any kind, and this is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: just one small example they will take. They will literally
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: steal all of the content, redo it and sell it
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: on their own at a cheaper price. That's a small
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: example of what's been going on for years. That's why
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: this this trip to China is so much more than
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: just trade deals. It's everything. Lily Tang Williams again in
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire, has been talking about this forever. They went
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to her to talk about it in this interview. First
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: a little set up and then Lily Tang talks about it.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: And I may be trying to groom former Chinese nationals
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: into US government officials my next guest, as it could
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: be part of what she calls China's soft power invasion.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: So what was your reaction when you heard the mayor
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: of Arcadia pled guilty to acting as a foreign agent
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: for China.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not surprised at all. I'm I'm glad that
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: h FBI and finally arrest her and convicted her. I
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: have been warning people for ten years what the CCP's long,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: long term plan is for United States to infiltrate, to
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: conquer from Waizins without a fire wing shot. I lived
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: in China for twenty four years and grew up there,
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: so I know there are true colors. I'm just glad
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: of finally you know, this brought to the light and
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: to the public, and there's a lot more now. I've
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: been warning, like there's a public potentially thirty thousand to
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: eighty thousand spies that also come in from an open
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: border thousand border in the past forty five years, and
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: where are they now?
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: That's littlely Tang Williams now. She has said she's tried
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to warn people in public life for the last ten years.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I've followed her for a long time because I have
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: so many ties to New England, still still so much
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: family up there, and I'm rooting for them. Wake up
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: New Hampshire, vote for her for Congress. But she's right.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: But did you catch what she said there about specifically
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: not just business CCP spies in the country. Lily Tang Williams,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: who would know, by the way, who is an inside
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: track and the knowledge of this kind of stuff, because
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: they've tried to reach out to her as well and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: influence her. She thinks there are thirty to sixty thousand
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: spies in this country. Now you hear about that, and
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you hear about an American mayor being exposed as a
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Chinese spy? Is what about that is surprising? Of course,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: when you've got them buying up American farmland, open real
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: estate everywhere, the intellectual property theft I've talked about forever
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: now into politics before, and she's a perfect example to
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: talk about this, Lily Tang Williams. And she talked about
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: that about the open borders, and then the awe everybody
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: turned on her and they said, you're just oh, that's crazy,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: You're just a You're one of those mega republicans that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: blames everything on open borders. You're you're a xenophobe. They
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: even called her for calling out these so called conspiracies
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: about Chinese influence them in every aspect of American life.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: They called her a xenophobe. A lady that escaped Chinese
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: communism in her twenties, came to this country with nothing
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: built up, a business is now and running for Congress.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: That's who they called a cenophol. This is why you
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: got to push back anybody that is or questions anything
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: you know that pushes back about your questions I should
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: say about all of this stuff in the Chinese influence.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: You have to push back, Which brings us to the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: presidential trip today. President Trump, I better freaking hope brings
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: this up to she jinbeh directly. It's a big story,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: it's a growing story. I hope Trump sits down with
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: them when they're talking about everything else about what to
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: do about Iran, the trade deal, the sanctions, what are
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: we gonna do with the oil, what's going on with
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: this entire everything that they're going to talk about on
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the agenda with the Beijing trip that starts today. I
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: hope this is one of the topics. Like literally, I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: want Trump to sit down with she and say she,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: you gotta stop Kenny Maher's elected in America. It's a
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: bad thing, bad thing bad. Can't have spies, can't have spies,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is mare? It's bad, It's bad. I hope he doesn't
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: or something anything. And if we have one of these
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: White House press reporters also on the trip, there's a
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: whole junket that's over there to cover this thing, they
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: better freaking make the connection and ask this because this
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: isn't just a nice weighted China Arcadia, California story. Ask
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: about this, Tresident Trump, you're aware of the story? Yes, yes, yes,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: I am. Did you talk to she about it?
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Talk to him? I sent him down a say's bad,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: can't have it? Okay, Well, what are you gonna do
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: about it? If we have anybody worth anything in the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: American press, they will ask him about this story. There
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: is a connection. It's not small, it's not at all.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Listen to Lily Tang Williams in New Hampshire running for Congress.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: She knows thirty to sixty thousand spies in the country.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: What my god.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Let's hope so anyway, and I think they will. So
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: we'll get an update on that when tomorrow we'll have
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: more on the Chinese trip. I hope there's some great
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: progress there, we really do. Did you see any coverage
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: from this thing? From all of them? By the way,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: his side note, who's on this thing? On Air Force one?
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: All of them? I think the entire Trump family is
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: on this trip, which makes sense. It's a big deal,
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Elon said. Elon posted up this morning and he said,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I'm on my way to Beijing. Okay, Steven Miller is there?
