• 0:29
  Speaker 6: Be Joe, thank you for allowing us to be of
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: service to you on this Friday morning where we tell
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: you what went on last night. For sure, I will
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: tell you my analysis of it, but I also want
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: to hear how it's impacting you where you are. That
• 0:49
  Speaker 6: is how we roll each morning here on First Thing Today,
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: uh and a special presentation of our first Things China
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: and the President on his way back from Beijing. Joining
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: us is Josh Philip from The Epic Times and a
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: host of their Crossroads podcast there as well. They're expert
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: on US China relations. That can't be a hard job
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: at Epic Times. Josh, how are you doing this morning, sir?
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: Doing well?
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: Doing very well? Hang on one second here and let me
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: get you in our system here so we can all
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: hear what you're saying, not just me. So I'm glad
• 1:29
  Speaker 6: you're doing well. What was your take from this all
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: but brief summit, even though I think they're the President
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: Trump and chairman She had a three hour lunch where
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: I guess the president sold two hundred planes for Boeing.
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: But you know, give your five mile view of what
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: was going on in this summit.
• 1:53
  Speaker 8: Well, it's interesting because I would call it cordial. It
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: was a cordial meeting, but I think both sides realize
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: that we're not allies. It was very much like a
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: frenemies type get together. They, of course sale Trump did
• 2:08
  Speaker 8: with the Boeing jets. That's a big deal. Trump's also
• 2:11
  Speaker 8: noting that he China has five hundred thousand students here
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: which he could kick out if he wanted to, which
• 2:17
  Speaker 8: he says he's not going to do. Trump has maintained
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: the tariffs on China, and I think that was the
• 2:23
  Speaker 8: big part of all this. He's pushing for Chinese investment.
• 2:26
  Speaker 8: But the key part that a lot of people missed
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: in that it's allowing Chinese investment in non sensitive areas.
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: So all the real security issues, all the real kind
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: of hesitancy about each other, the real trade battle, all
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: of that, I would say, is still in place. And
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: of course I think the main reason this meeting took
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: place is Trump wants to pressure China to pressure Iran
• 2:53
  Speaker 8: and turn to reopen the straight or for moves, which
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: they're now saying they're going to do.
• 2:58
  Speaker 6: And that is a big deal because and I think
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: for President Trump politically, if the gas prices come back
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: down to around two dollars a gallon nationwide, it's good
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: news for Republicans looking for midterm election victories there and
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: for him to not have to face unending impeachment hearings
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: for the next two years, Josh. But moreover, the issue
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: of Taiwan. You know, it's the eight hundred pound giant
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Chinese dragon in the room there. Where do you think
• 3:33
  Speaker 6: that got left off from this? It seemed like President
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: She made it very clear from the get go this
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: could lead to conflict. I thought that was interesting language
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: that he used. Did you as well?
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: It was interesting. So basically, the CCP prior to the meeting,
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: had established four Nogo topics. They told Trump it was
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: not allowed or Trump and his team actually that they
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: were not allowed to talk about Taiwan, they were not
• 4:00
  Speaker 8: allowed to talk about human rights, they were not allowed
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: to talk about the system of the CCP, meaning communism.
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: They were not allowed to talk about the future goals
• 4:09
  Speaker 8: of the CCP, which stands and she even hinted at
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: it called he referred to the Thucidity's trap, referring to
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: the Athens and Spartan war, where they believe in a
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: rising power in a declining power, meaning they believe that
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: it's China's destiny to overtake the United States. Like that
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: was a no go topic. Trump did allegedly bring up
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: the issue of Taiwan during the closed door meeting. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: it seems to be the case that China is saying,
• 4:38
  Speaker 8: you know what, We're going to do it whether you
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: like it or not. But how do we avoid a war?
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: And that was a bit of the conversation, it seems.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: One of my friends asked me, And you know, and
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: my mother used to do international banking. As a matter
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: of fact, she had a postgrad degree in Chinese culture.
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: And it struck me that the question I couldn't come
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: up with a good answer. So maybe you can help me.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: If if this is such a big deal getting Taiwan
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: back in the fold, why hasn't China moved faster on it?
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: What is are they still enjoying some of the largest
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: and the fact Taiwan. We were just talking about it
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: in the UH in the green room with former Congressman
• 5:18
  Speaker 6: Good about Taiwan and and that you know, we we
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: buy an awful lot of stuff from Taiwan, and China
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: does benefit from that. I believe they do.
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: Taiwan is an ideological threat to the CCP. For the
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: Chinese people, Taiwan is a reminder that, you know, it's Taiwan,
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: a little island, is one of the top economies in
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: the world, and they do it without communism. It's a
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: reminder of the Chinese people could have without communism, that
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: they could be a successful, modern country without needing the CCP.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: And that's why it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: Matters to them so much. In terms of the plot
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: to take over Taiwan, the CCP actually did have a
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: plan and and this is something not a lot of
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: people will talk about, but Trump actually has pretty heavily
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: unraveled that plan. So in twenty sixteen, there was an
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: individual Jin Can Rong, one of the main advisors shooting Ping,
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: and he wrote this plan announced it. They wanted to
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: draw the United States into several different conflicts. They wanted
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: the war with Russia, which we ended up getting you know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: of course, we're draining our armaments supply in Ukraine, for example,
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: they wanted a war in the Middle East, we got
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: that with Iran and Hamas. They wanted a war in
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: Latin America. Prior to Trump taking Maduro out of Venezuela,
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: Venezuela was actually planning to invade Guyana, working with working
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: with louliin Brazil. By capturing Maduro, Trump probably stopped that
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: war from taking place, definitively probably stopped that war. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: with the terrorism war ninety percent off the table, with
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: the war in Latin America avoided, and with Russia kind
• 6:59
  Speaker 8: of languishing, hang on to that.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: Let's see.
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: If something costs less a lot less, but people are
• 7:04
  Speaker 9: actually happier with it, that sounds like something to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 10: And that's meta share.
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: Maybe you've heard joining meta share can save you or
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: your family up to five hundred bucks a month, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: that's huge, but.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: It's also true.
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: their values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Meda Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: So yeah, really you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
• 7:44
  Speaker 9: that you're happy with.
• 7:46

• 7:51
  Speaker 9: Here's the number you need.
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: It's eight five to five share forty eight five five
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: share forty eight five five share.
• 7:59
  Speaker 12: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 12: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 12: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer and
• 8:46
  Speaker 12: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 12: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

• 13:16
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much for lening us to be of
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: service to you. We get back to Bob in a
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: moment or two, but we're visiting UH and getting some
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: details out of the summit. It just concluded President Trump
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: on his way home. Josh Philip on with us from
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: Epic Times there Chinese cultural international expert, especially on US
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: China relations. You were just laying out all these different
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: places to try to drag the US into a four
• 13:45
  Speaker 6: fronted war. I mean, we saw what happened to Germany
• 13:48
  Speaker 6: in a two fronted war. Are they taking all these
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: historical references, you know, getting the US trying to fight
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: wars in four places, using our military, bankrupting of the
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: Soviet Union to bank US, bankrupt us militarily. Are they
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: using all those tactics to continue US? I think he
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: even called US a nation in decline in their opening statements.
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that's how they view it. And so they wanted
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: to drag US into four wars. They wanted chaos in
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: American streets. We see that with the funding of all
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: the far left movements being done by a Shanghai based
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: billionaire in the Vilori. Seeing him, they wanted the war
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: in Latin America. We almost got them with Maduro invading Guyana.
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: They wanted the war in the of course, with terrorism Iran,
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: and they wanted the war with Russia. So in Trump, Trump,
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: for the most part, I think has destabilized that possibility.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: The thinking of the CCP is which is accurate. You know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: the American military is designed to fight two wars simultaneously,
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: so they said, well, we need four wars before we
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: invade Taiwan. But I will say the whole analysis that
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: China was is rising power in America's declining Trump. Trump,
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: based on my sources, really terrified the CCP by showing
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: them the opposite when he captured Maduro, when he took
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: out all the Chinese air defense systems both in Venezuela
• 15:15
  Speaker 8: and Iran and basically demonstrated the world that the Chinese
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: armaments which they'd been selling saying these will defeat America,
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: none of them worked. Really frightened them because they got
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: to see that America's back really and that their systems
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: don't work.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: Is there a certain point, I mean people say, oh,
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: we're fighting all these wars and they're not fighting anything,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: and then if we do ever wind up in conflict there,
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: but you know, they're also not tested. They may be rested,
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: but not tested. Our military, you know, has the tactical
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: expertise with a lot of these things, especially now with
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: drone warfare and jamming technology and things like that. Josh,
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: the last question, and we don't want this to happen.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: I remember there was a book back in the eighties
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: that was talking about how the next big world war
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: would be fought with dollars and cents or currency, not
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: with weapons. Is that what we're facing still is a
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: currency war rather than a weapons war or could there
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: still be a weapons war in the offing.
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: Well, we are currently at war with China, but it's
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: war by other means, and it's a war that a
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: lot of people don't even know we're fighting. China says
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: it openly. So they have a doctrine called unrestricted Warfare
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: and it defines seventy two war fighting domains non military,
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: trans military, and unconventional military. It's economic warfare, it's culture warfare,
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: currency warfare, it's drug warfare. Think of them funding the
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: cartels and doing the money launering for cartels. It's everything.
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: And you got to think even the drugs alone, they're
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: they're killing more Americans every single year, you know, just
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: with ventional alone. They were lost in Vietnam. It's so
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: we are at war with them, and they say it
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: as such.
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: And it's dispiriting. And they just as the Soviet Union
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: did with propaganda, teaching our kids that communism is great, when,
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: as you said, Taiwan is a great example of how
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: it is not.
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: Well, and that's why they want to take it so badly.
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: Based on what's been happening, it seems the CCP is
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: kind of not as strong as they're posturing right now.
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: For example, after after chi jing Ping witnessed, you know,
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: China's military armaments just get wiped out. Both in Venezuela,
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: andy Ron, these allegations that he actually had the maker
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: of the J twenty fighter jet executed on the spot
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: because he witnessed it a testified thing failed. He actually
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: purged the makers of a lot of the defense systems,
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: and so it looks like he's lashing out at their
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: own fence industry because he's saying, you guys said this
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: with defeat America.
• 18:04
  Speaker 14: They didn't.
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: So Internally in China, Shi Jinping has purged so many
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: military leaders. Even mainstream media are saying it's questionable whether
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: they can in fight a war right now.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Interesting, Well, Josh, I appreciate h at the US branch.
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: It's epic. Epic Times dot com.
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: Corrected though the Epic Times.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: I knew there was something I was missing here the
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: Epic Times dot Com. God bless you, sir, and thank
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: you for taking some time out with us and taking
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: us inside the summit.
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: My pleasure.
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you. Four three four eighty two four two one
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: seven that is our phone number. Emails come into JT
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: in the morning. Radio at gmail dot com. This one
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: comes in from Charlie, says, Joe, you talk about sun
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: Zu quite frequently. Why would you be surprised that the
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: Chinese culture views everything as war. We define war as
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: something where soldiers march towards one another. They their view
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: of war is anything interactive between people. Everything is a war.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: A business is at war with its customer trying to
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: convince it to give them money for their services. A
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: business is at war with other businesses in efforts to
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: get more customers for it. Everything is viewed through the
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: prism of conflict, perhaps as the word Americans would be
• 19:31
  Speaker 6: more comfortable, but China and their country, Charlie writes, view
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: it as a war. And I see you know and words.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: You know how I am with words, Charlie. I love
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: the way they can be defined and redefine what wound
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: around the idea that confrontation or even conversation can be
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: seen as war. What we do here, you could say,
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: is a war. Because I'm trying to share analysis of
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: stories and hope that you, in the hearing of that
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: analysis will come to agree with me. We sometimes, you know,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: tactically get out there on our own. We're like the
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: guy running across the field with a rifle, hollering at
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: the enemy while they're all marching in lockstep, getting a
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: good nest position, and then having at me because I
• 20:35
  Speaker 6: think we say stuff that isn't as coordinated, and I
• 20:39
  Speaker 6: rail against the coordinated, But I get it. If you're
• 20:46
  Speaker 6: speaking of communications as a warfare, yeah, saying you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: the quiet stuff out loud isn't very good. You need coordination.
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: You need everyone rowing in the same way that being said.
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: You know, go back to what Josh was saying about
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: Taiwan and their prosperity despite being ethnically Chinese, despite being
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: just like the Chinese and the Chinese Communist Party. They're
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: prosperous without being communist, and that's embarrassing. Any communist nation
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: is embarrassed to see prosperity where the marketplace works. Now,
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Taiwan is prosperous because America has money to buy things
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: from them. The thing about capitalism is you need people
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: earning money so that they can spend money with the
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: people who are making the things. We've got, folks on
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: the line. Bob's still with us. He's in the green room. Okay,

  Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 24:12
  Speaker 12: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 12: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 12: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or

  Speaker 12: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 12: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 12: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

• 28:35
  Speaker 6: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: on this Friday morning, and we're breaking down the news
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: as it impacts use where you are, doctor Clark on
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: the line. Bob's in the green room with the Schweppes
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: and Clark, thank you for hanging on the line.
• 28:51
  Speaker 8: Sir.
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: What's going on?
• 28:52
  Speaker 24: Yes, sir, well you know your email. The guy is
• 28:56
  Speaker 24: absolutely correct. They do view everything as war. And if
• 28:59
  Speaker 24: you read sun Zu The Art of War, the very
• 29:03
  Speaker 24: height of strategy and statesmanship is to win from thousands
• 29:09
  Speaker 24: of miles away and never actually take the field come down.
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: So right, yeah, that's that's one of the everyone forgets
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: that the best war is the war that's never fought.
• 29:23
  Speaker 24: Well, you know, Trump really should on his way out
• 29:27
  Speaker 24: the door, hold up a copy of Sun Zu's and
• 29:32
  Speaker 24: I read your book. Oh now you're praising Trump. Calm down, Hey, look,
• 29:39
  Speaker 24: Jim here is not going to shut up unless I
• 29:41
  Speaker 24: let him talk for a minute.
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: Okay, Jim, Okay, yeah, give me the phone. Hang on, Joe,
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: you named Joe, right, yeah? Okay.
• 29:52
  Speaker 24: So look a here on China, they're desperate for Taiwan. Andy,
• 29:59
  Speaker 24: nobody talking of out why they're desperate for Taiwan. You
• 30:01
  Speaker 24: have to understand the situation, okay, Jim. They've had this
• 30:05
  Speaker 24: one child policy for a long time, and in China,
• 30:11
  Speaker 24: the way it is is your social security is your
• 30:15
  Speaker 24: male child when you get old. If you have a
• 30:19
  Speaker 24: female child, it do not take care of you when
• 30:22
  Speaker 24: you get old. It doesn't, okay, No, So if you
• 30:26
  Speaker 24: have a female baby, you take it and put it
• 30:29
  Speaker 24: out in the rice patty.
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: It's of no use to you whatsoever.
• 30:33
  Speaker 24: So they're in a situation right now where they can't
• 30:35
  Speaker 24: maintain their own population.
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: Oh not enough girls.
• 30:41
  Speaker 24: They don't have a border where they can that. Thousands
• 30:43
  Speaker 24: of people come because they could. But what you have
• 30:45
  Speaker 24: to understand is if you are not Han, you ain't
• 30:50
  Speaker 24: worth having bread. Now, Taiwan has about eleven million hon.
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: Women, Joe, Okay, okay, need don't.
• 31:00
  Speaker 24: Breeding females, so they maintained the population. And you say
• 31:03
  Speaker 24: to yourself, eleven million, that ain't very many. Hey, you
• 31:07
  Speaker 24: don't think they're just gonna let them reap the deuce
• 31:09
  Speaker 24: at their own rate.
• 31:12
  Speaker 6: So it says like factory farming.
• 31:14
  Speaker 24: Jim, say, just yourl they're gonna be like a like
• 31:17
  Speaker 24: a like a pharaoh operation. They're gonna be like sALS
• 31:20
  Speaker 24: Kepta in Crates. It's gonna be terrible, terrible, Jim.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: That certainly is a learned approach to what China wants
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: Taiwan for breeding stock.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: Uh.
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: There, you know, Clark, you can't let Jim hang around
• 31:36
  Speaker 6: your veterinary clinic too long. He starts to get crazy idea.
• 31:40
  Speaker 24: Why and you know it depends on what we're talking about.
• 31:43
  Speaker 24: Every now and then he ain't gonna shut up if
• 31:45
  Speaker 24: I don't mean you get on.
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: So I don't know.
• 31:47
  Speaker 24: I hated everybody had to listen to that.
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: Well, we appreciate it, sir. You have a good morning,
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: all right, all right, have a great weekend. Four three, four, eight,
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: eight to two to one seven This morning Talking with
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: former Congressman Bob Good hosted the Good for America podcast there,
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: you know, and you were talking earlier about the Tommy
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: Massey primary in Kentucky, and you know, we don't see
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: this in the Democratic Party. We were talking about all
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: these things like the Save America Act, and I said,
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: where are the people trying to reform the Democratic Party?
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: Where are those voices? U Chad Peterson? And here in Virginia,
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: Fairfax County Democrat got ousted because he spoke out against
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: the COVID lockdowns, where the John fettermans he's being driven
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: out of his party. You know, we see it way
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: more frequently amongst Republicans, where maybe we're just not as
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: afraid of the party as Democrats are to stay in
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: line with the with the hikeem Jeffreys, Chuck Schumers of
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: the world.
• 32:54
  Speaker 25: I would predict now that there's no way John Fetterman
• 32:57
  Speaker 25: will get elected to the Senate again as a Democrat.
• 33:02
  Speaker 14: I doubt he becomes Republican.
• 33:04
  Speaker 25: Maybe he does, perhaps he runs as an independent, but
• 33:07
  Speaker 25: there is no way he will get the Democrat nomination again.
• 33:10
  Speaker 14: You mark that down.
• 33:11
  Speaker 25: I think he was elected in twenty two, so I
• 33:14
  Speaker 25: think we're talking twenty eight two years from now that
• 33:16
  Speaker 25: will really begin to.
• 33:17
  Speaker 14: Be a factor after the November elections.
• 33:20
  Speaker 25: But within the Democrat Party there is no toleration for moderates.
• 33:24
  Speaker 25: There are no moderates left. It's on the extreme radicals
• 33:29
  Speaker 25: mindset agenda that has permitted the Democrat Party. In the
• 33:32
  Speaker 25: Republican Party, it's more, it's not so much about that
• 33:35
  Speaker 25: there's no toleration for conservative ideology. There is no toleration
• 33:39
  Speaker 25: for any disagreement with President Trump. That is the factor
• 33:43
  Speaker 25: from a primary standpoint that's coming to a close after
• 33:47
  Speaker 25: the twenty six elections. President Trump will be will be
• 33:49
  Speaker 25: a lame duck, and I don't think we have quite
• 33:52
  Speaker 25: the same impact in twenty eight that he had in
• 33:54
  Speaker 25: twenty six. But really it's about one person, one personality,
• 33:57
  Speaker 25: and the Republican side and the Democrat side. It's about
• 33:59
  Speaker 25: ideology and conformity to the radical left agenda.
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: So let me ask you about China. I know you
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: worked in finance for a very long time. China, our
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: debt is mostly outside of what's owned by the Social
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Security Administration is owned by China Chinese holdings. How does
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: a meeting go between somebody like President Trump who's running
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: a country that is indebted to the one they're trying
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: to have negotiations with. I mean, it's got to be
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: tough to have a discussion about straight of horror moves
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: or those kind of issues Taiwan without knowing that China
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: could just call in your debt tomorrow.
• 34:45
  Speaker 25: Well, China, I believe the numbers around six or seven
• 34:49
  Speaker 25: trillion of our nearly forty trillion in debt that is
• 34:53
  Speaker 25: held by China, So it is a small portion of
• 34:56
  Speaker 25: it relatively speaking, so to speak. But China is far
• 34:59
  Speaker 25: more dependent on us than we are in them. China
• 35:01
  Speaker 25: is the second largest economy, but they're much smaller economy
• 35:04
  Speaker 25: still in the United States, and they are much more
• 35:07
  Speaker 25: dependent on us than we are in them. They're much
• 35:09
  Speaker 25: dependent on things like foreign oil obviously, than we're not
• 35:12
  Speaker 25: depending on for and oil. Thankfully, we're energy and dependent,
• 35:14
  Speaker 25: so we have more leverage with China than they have
• 35:17
  Speaker 25: with us. I think China also is afraid of our military.
• 35:21
  Speaker 25: I think China's in great fear of the failures of
• 35:26
  Speaker 25: the Russian military. They're in great fear of the failures
• 35:29
  Speaker 25: of the Iranian military, and they're in great fear of
• 35:31
  Speaker 25: the prowess and the prominence and the success of the
• 35:34
  Speaker 25: United States military. The Chinese military is untested there. It
• 35:38
  Speaker 25: was an interesting development though that the President g did
• 35:41
  Speaker 25: make clear that it would really hurt US relations if
• 35:44
  Speaker 25: the US took the wrong position on Taiwan. The Chinese
• 35:48
  Speaker 25: Communist Party is our enemy.
• 35:50
  Speaker 14: They are not our friend.
• 35:51
  Speaker 25: President Trump would do well to continue to regard them
• 35:54
  Speaker 25: as an adversary, not as a friend, and to be
• 35:56
  Speaker 25: careful about any deals that he makes for the purpose
• 35:59
  Speaker 25: of sort of having a grand deal or a legacy
• 36:02
  Speaker 25: making deal that may not be in the US long
• 36:04
  Speaker 25: term interest from a national security standpoint.
• 36:06
  Speaker 14: I said, play to China.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Well and talk about because as much as we, you know,
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: get a lot of stuff from China, a lot of
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: stuff that comes under the label from China is actually
• 36:15
  Speaker 6: coming from Taiwan, especially technology, right, Bob.
• 36:20
  Speaker 25: Yes, Taiwan, pound for pound, is quite an impressive country.
• 36:24
  Speaker 25: China doesn't like it when you call it in a
• 36:25
  Speaker 25: country they believe in the one Giant. But I went
• 36:28
  Speaker 25: to the embassy, and again they don't call it an embassy.
• 36:31
  Speaker 14: But I went to the embassy Taiwan.
• 36:32
  Speaker 25: These embassy several times during my time in Washington, met
• 36:35
  Speaker 25: with the ambassador there, and I certainly support Taiwan.
• 36:39
  Speaker 14: Hookee, the United States will community support Taiwan.
• 36:42

• 41:07
  Speaker 20: type two diabetes, heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a
• 41:10
  Speaker 20: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths
• 41:14
  Speaker 20: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:19
  Speaker 20: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about

  Speaker 20: your risk for type two diabetes and heart disease, and
• 41:26
  Speaker 20: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The
• 41:31
  Speaker 20: reason so many die is because not enough are willing

  Speaker 1: I call it first thing Today. By Joe Thomas on
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: the Tunk Media Network.
• 44:26
  Speaker 22: In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by
• 44:29
  Speaker 22: two separate and equally important groups, the police who investigate
• 44:32
  Speaker 22: crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: These are their stories. Nothing happens until year done done,
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: four three, four eight eight is part of why you know,
• 44:45
  Speaker 6: I always enjoyed, you know, the Jerry or Back era
• 44:51
  Speaker 6: of the show and what they've done to law orders disappointment,
• 44:55
  Speaker 6: never mind what we've done to lawn order in this
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: country anyway.
• 45:00
  Speaker 27: In July twenty twenty four to two illegal alien steam
• 45:02
  Speaker 27: that stabbed, they manned the death at a park in Oakton,
• 45:06
  Speaker 27: I said, launched multiple detainers on one of the suspects
• 45:09
  Speaker 27: that Fairfax County.
• 45:10
  Speaker 14: Had refused to honor.
• 45:11
  Speaker 25: He was released back to the community, then he killed.
• 45:16
  Speaker 27: The public safety of Fairfax County motivates all my work.
• 45:19
  Speaker 27: Our office has successfully prosecuted thousands of cases, including high
• 45:24
  Speaker 27: profile murders, sexual assaults, and other serious offenses.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: The two voices you heard were in front of Jim
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: Jordan yesterday to answer for themselves the egregious example right
• 45:39
  Speaker 6: there in the shadow of the Department of Justice of
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: progressive prosecutors, and I circle back to this story. That's
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: former Attorney General Jason Miaris first, and then the second
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: voice you heard was Steve Descano. Steve Descano is what
• 45:56
  Speaker 6: we call commonwealth's attorneys here in Virginia. Most people they
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: or the DA and it drives Larry to write this
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: to me at four three four eight eight two four
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: two one seven. Joe, you've heard the expression, I'm sure
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: if a tree falls in the woods and no one's
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: there to hear it doesn't make a sound. Well, the
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: same as applicable in the office of these progressive prosecutors.
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: If a law is on the law books but nobody
• 46:25
  Speaker 6: ever opens it to read it, is it really a law?
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: I think you summed up what these progressive prosecutors are
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: all about in a nutshell, Larry. I really you know.
• 46:38
  Speaker 27: I was inspired by West Points credo of providing a
• 46:41
  Speaker 27: lifetime of selfless service to the nation. I was first
• 46:45
  Speaker 27: elected as Tomwill's Atorney in twenty nineteen on a promise
• 46:48
  Speaker 27: to adopt smart on crime policies.
• 46:50
  Speaker 6: Smart on crime meaning if you want to boil it down,
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: we need to make the statistics look like crime is
• 46:57
  Speaker 6: down and if wealthy Caucasians are robbed, they had it coming.
• 47:08
  Speaker 6: But we'll try to make sure that that particular tree
• 47:11
  Speaker 6: falls in your woods, Larry, so no one is there
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: to hear it. I mean it pushed San Francisco so far.
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: They they haven't elected a Republican, but their last DA
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: was a conservative. I'm going to go prosecute anyone who
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: commits a crime in San Francisco because the only way
• 47:35
  Speaker 6: the system works. And remember there's not a flaw, but
• 47:39
  Speaker 6: a feature to this. You want people believing the system
• 47:43
  Speaker 6: doesn't work, because what you'll have are people saying this
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: is the system, and then it obviously doesn't work. So
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: people will throw up the hands and say the system
• 47:53
  Speaker 6: doesn't work. Go back to what Josh Philip was telling
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: us about the ensue application of propaganda in this conflict
• 48:04
  Speaker 6: with the United States, that China is waging convincing us,
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: and part of it. A couple of days ago I
• 48:15
  Speaker 6: made reference to what I believe this is just may analysis.
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: Has never heard it anywhere else. If it has apologies,
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: I'm not nicking it from them, but I've never read
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: it anywhere else. That Nixon went to China not because
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: of the economic opportunity, but because Kissinger told him that
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: it would be a good proxy to have in our pocket,
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: because we had lots of little proxies trying to fight
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: the Soviet Union. But if we had China and their army,
• 48:49
  Speaker 6: oh ho boy, that's a hell of a proxy. And
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: like almost all of our proxies that we used through
• 48:56
  Speaker 6: the seventies and eighties eventually turning on us. China has
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: turned on us. Maybe we just didn't understand Sun Sue
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: well enough to understand that China, especially under Mao, said,
• 49:12
  Speaker 6: we understand where the failings of communism is is allowing
• 49:17
  Speaker 6: places like Taiwan to exist. Chairman she rose to power.
• 49:24
  Speaker 6: Who is it. I can't remember the guy's name, but
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: his predecessor was a reformer. Chairman. She has this weird setup,
• 49:31
  Speaker 6: so he's working off of this corporatist reformed economy that
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: really was the idea of his predecessor to allow people
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: to earn their own wealth within China, and because China
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: is a different culture than Russia, it worked better than
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: glassnost but it was essential not glass. Now Peristroika the
• 50:01
  Speaker 6: reformation of a communist economy to allow for development of
• 50:06
  Speaker 6: personal capital. And so Chairman she has these industries that
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: he allows people to own part of as long as
• 50:23
  Speaker 6: they do what the Communist party wants. It's actually more
• 50:27
  Speaker 6: beneficial because you get a little bit of the American
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: ethos of oh, I'm making something here, so I'm going
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: to work more diligently at it. Than just somebody who
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: is ordered to do it by the state. But their
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: economy doesn't generate many things technology. They do a great
• 50:52
  Speaker 6: job of technology, but the and the electric vehicles they're
• 50:56
  Speaker 6: manufacturing are not considered high quality, are inexpensive, so they're
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: selling like crazy in Europe. So there there, But again
• 51:07
  Speaker 6: that's technology. That's not you know, inventing a wheel. But
• 51:14
  Speaker 6: this is all part of the itching, burning, peeling sensation
• 51:20
  Speaker 6: they want us in the United States to have is
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: that our system is broken, we better use theirs. They
• 51:28
  Speaker 6: were a long way towards them. I mean, listen to
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: some of the stuff they promote. I mean, you know,
• 51:32
  Speaker 6: some of the stuff that the left is promoting in
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: this country makes China look like a constitutional republic. But
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: you're right, Larry, that that their attitude these Soros prosecutors
• 51:48
  Speaker 6: Steve Tuscano Duskano from Fairfax is going to now become
• 51:53
  Speaker 6: the public face of these progressive prosecutors is that if
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: I ignore a law, the law doesn't exist. I don't
• 52:01
  Speaker 6: have to go through the process of removing it from
• 52:04
  Speaker 6: the books. If I just don't enforce it, it doesn't exist.
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: Judicial and prosecutorial discretion has become such an abused process
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: all the way up through Tim Kaine saying, if the
• 52:23
  Speaker 6: government doesn't choose to defend one of your God given rights,
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: then we have taken it away or just not granted it.
• 52:32
  Speaker 6: It's the word games they teach themselves so that they
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: can sleep well at night. Joel writes in don't forget
