this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:20.240
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the
00:00:27.200
authoritarians get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just
00:00:33.040
like in georgia it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and
00:00:37.760
misrepresentations is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is
00:00:42.080
the fight all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground
00:00:55.600
china is buying up our country while corrupt democrats and rhino type politicians in washington
00:01:02.720
have been spending trillions of dollars on the green new deal nonsense foolish foreign wars and
00:01:09.120
providing lavish benefits to illegal aliens from all over the planet china has been spending trillions of
00:01:15.760
dollars to take over the crown jewels of the united states economy and they are doing that china is
00:01:22.800
buying up our technology they're buying up food supplies they're buying up our farmland they're
00:01:29.680
buying up our minerals and natural resources they're buying up our ports and shipping terminals
00:01:35.840
and with the help of a corrupt influence peddlers like the biden crime family china is even trying to
00:01:42.800
buy up the pillars of the u.s energy industry because frankly biden and the group don't care about
00:01:50.640
real energy they only care about nonsense energy energy that doesn't work and it never will while some
00:01:58.880
are focused on china's purchases near power plants and military bases the fact is we should be very
00:02:06.240
concerned about all chinese communist activity in the united states as i have long said economic security
00:02:14.160
is national security china does not allow american companies to take over their critical infrastructure
00:02:21.360
and america should not allow china to take over our critical infrastructure i didn't allow it when i was
00:02:29.760
president and i won't allow it when we become president again to protect our country we need to enact
00:02:37.520
aggressive new restrictions on chinese ownership of any vital infrastructure in the united states
00:02:43.920
including energy technology telecommunications farmland natural resources medical supplies and other
00:02:51.680
strategic national assets we should stop all future chinese purchases in these essential industries
00:02:59.280
and we should begin the process of forcing the chinese to sell any current holdings that put our
00:03:05.360
national security at risk if we don't do this the united states will be owned by china which would
00:03:11.600
make them very happy when i'm president i will ensure that america's future remains firmly in american hands
00:03:20.320
just as i did when i was president before it'll happen again and our country will be stronger than ever
00:03:28.160
he has built his political career on promises of honesty hard work and a pledge that a family name means
00:03:43.760
something i give you my word as a biden i give you my word as a biden but while joe biden swears by his
00:03:49.760
name in politics his son and two brothers spent years trying to benefit from the biden name it's all now the
00:03:56.960
focus of a republican-led congressional investigation we want to know what the biden administration is
00:04:02.000
trying to hide from the american people and why they are not being transparent republican congressman
00:04:06.560
james comer now chairs the house oversight committee and has set his sights on joe biden's son hunter
00:04:13.280
a mysterious laptop now in the hands of the fbi and long-held conspiracy theories about president joe biden
00:04:20.640
and what he does or doesn't know i have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone
00:04:27.680
else anything having to do with their businesses period despite his denials a cnn review of the
00:04:34.480
laptop data as well as other public material shows that joe biden did interact with some of his son's
00:04:40.560
associates while serving as vice president though it's unclear exactly what was discussed one example the
00:04:47.360
republican site miguel allemand magnani a mexican businessman and son of the former president
00:04:53.600
who hunter was trying to woo in 2014 allemand magnani and his dad were photographed at the white
00:04:59.680
house with then vice president biden in a later email hunter biden reminds allemand magnani of the
00:05:06.080
favors he's done for him we have been talking about business deals and partnerships for seven years
00:05:11.840
i have brought every single person you have ever asked me to bring to the effing white house and
00:05:16.880
the vice president's house and the inauguration hunter biden bluntly acknowledged the power of
00:05:22.480
the biden name in a memoir writing that the ukrainian energy company burisma which put him on its board
00:05:28.480
considered my last name gold i don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened
00:05:32.880
in my life that uh that if my last name wasn't biden joe biden's brothers have repeatedly
00:05:38.080
referenced him in their private dealings frank biden a developer of for-profit charter schools
00:05:43.360
has invoked his brother in trying to convince local officials to approve his projects like in
00:05:48.960
sunrise florida where he told the city in 2015 to trust his venture not because of frank
00:05:56.160
but because of the honor of being the brother of a guy i think we all know and love in 2021 at a
00:06:02.880
gathering of medical professionals he made this pledge the bully pulpit that i have as a result of
00:06:09.280
the privilege of being associated with with my brother joey and i'll do everything in my power to support
00:06:16.960
you to get the job done to get federal dollars to your research frank biden told cnn there has been
00:06:25.040
zero interaction between his brother's public office and his private business adding do i engage in any
00:06:31.680
way in quid pro quo on any level absolutely not the last name gave credibility you know initially
00:06:38.240
healthcare entrepreneur michael frey told cnn joe biden's other brother james broke financial
00:06:43.600
promises he made while referencing the biden name frey's company filed a lawsuit alleging fraud by james
00:06:50.400
biden who denied the claims frey spoke to cnn before the lawsuit settled in 2020 everything was on the
00:06:56.960
biden name and and so we took that to heart james biden was also named in a lawsuit filed in july
00:07:03.440
he allegedly received about six hundred thousand dollars in 2018 this goes on welcome it's wednesday
00:07:09.920
18 january year of our lord 2023 goes on for a couple more minutes but i think you get the drift
00:07:15.440
um today uh very unusual first hour we talked about the uh big win we got in standing up uh this audience
00:07:23.920
having the back of of the 20 and the magnificent six and now the committees are starting to be
00:07:30.240
um you know peopled with slotted with hardcore fighters particularly the key investigative
00:07:37.760
committees and then we've had the president just come out uh today and jack posobiec over at human
00:07:44.240
events and the turning point had the exclusive and put that video out which is quite frankly magnificent
00:07:49.280
so i wanted to get three people that are that are called pipe hitters we got natalie winters
00:07:53.760
our lead of course our executive editor but the lead investigator report i think the top in the city
00:07:58.560
we got dave brad who served in congress and knows exactly how these things rolls and he's got some
00:08:03.120
got some new data on china and of course dr bradley thayer lee hood and we'll play that clip from lee
00:08:08.320
hood the chinese are trying to say oh hang on hang on we we really want to be organized we really want
00:08:13.120
to be integrated back into the globalization system they're over at davos right now with a totally different
00:08:18.160
take i want to go to natalie first natalie you more than anybody have spent a time going through
00:08:24.240
the receipts going i mean digging down into the into the into the real a connective tissue of emails
00:08:31.040
and text messages bank records and and you know federal register you spend your saturday nights
00:08:36.640
i tell everybody if they if you call natalie she won't say i'm washing my hair she says i'm going to
00:08:40.960
a federal register of grants you've seen more than anything i want to connect president trump's today
00:08:47.760
about the dangers of the ccp and his point of view of how you know america has to has to unwind this
00:08:55.440
influence peddling that's going on versus the biden crime family from your perspective natalie winners
00:09:02.480
sure well everything that trump says is spot on though i disagree with his quote of america will be
00:09:08.960
owned by the chinese communist party if we don't you know turn around yesterday because i think
00:09:13.840
unfortunately the writing on the wall is that we already are um in the perfect textbook example of
00:09:20.400
that um is the case of the biden family you know years years down the road when textbooks are written
00:09:26.640
about what managed decline looks like and who sold out this country um hunter biden will be that example
00:09:33.440
will be the glowing the glaring example of how american elites have leveraged really every corner of america
00:09:40.000
as trump lists right from the pharmaceutical companies to ppe to farmland uh to our schools
00:09:46.480
to our think tanks all the way up to 1600 pennsylvania avenue really have been annexed by the chinese
00:09:53.120
communist party um through really the tactic of infiltration as opposed to invasion right the white
00:09:59.760
house doesn't have to fly the chinese flag uh for the policies that come out of that building and the
00:10:06.080
the biden regime to really be totally in line with the desires of beijing um the hunter biden you know
00:10:13.840
tale uh really i think speaks to how the chinese communist party seeks to target what i would call
00:10:20.560
kind of the achilles heel of america right the weak people within america's ruling class who can either be
00:10:26.560
bought out by money by business deals by power by greed um and in the case of the biden family we've just
00:10:33.440
been fortunate enough and thanks to cnn uh for confirming it a few years late but still nonetheless
00:10:39.920
uh we can really see kind of the inner workings the belly of the beast as to how this operation this
00:10:45.920
crime this criminal racket really works in terms of leveraging um a politically powerful name like the
00:10:52.640
biden family um and i think the point here and it dovetails perfectly with what's going on in davos right
00:10:58.640
now it's not the chinese communist party acting alone right it's the chinese communist party acting
00:11:04.880
in tandem with sort of this globalist economic model um being championed by not just big government
00:11:11.360
right remember when the the old slogan used to be big government sucks right we were so naive then
00:11:16.560
because it's not just big government it's a fusion of the private and public sectors really modeled after
00:11:22.080
what we see going on in china right whether you're talking about social credit scores state surveillance uh
00:11:28.080
these pcr tests right the weaponization of all these little bits whether it's you know if you
00:11:32.720
got a coveted vaccine if you tested positive for the virus then being leveraged and really being used
00:11:38.320
as a tool to prevent you from accessing other aspects of your day-to-day life so that's really
00:11:43.920
the model that they seek to implement um and i mean frankly people like the biden family right
00:11:50.400
someone like hunter biden they're a lot easier to compromise right it's a lot easier to get them to sell
00:11:55.760
out when they have no principles of their own i know you infamously remarked that it was like
00:12:00.720
hunter biden was raised by a pack of wild dogs but really this lack of morality this just i think
00:12:07.680
really hatred for america and not wanting to preserve this country is how the chinese communist party thrives
00:12:13.520
because it's a lot easier to get elites all the way from the white house all the way down to lower
00:12:18.400
levels of government to sell out if they have no allegiance to this country and for anyone who doubts
00:12:23.360
the salience of chinese communist party influence operations here in the united states they have
00:12:28.880
specifically curated trips to china that that chinese communist party influence groups subsidize
00:12:35.360
all the way down for low-level congressional staffers who work on the hill republican and democrats so i can
00:12:42.160
i can tell you this the chinese communist party is going after hill staffers right the people who are
00:12:46.880
running the social media accounts of the democratic and republican congressmen you know those posts that you
00:12:52.000
see the chinese communist party is trying to compromise them and successfully so and they're
00:12:56.880
going after everyone they're going after the hill staffers the members themselves academia think
00:13:02.240
tanks k-12 classrooms everyone and unfortunately so many americans really i think at the core don't
00:13:09.600
really care about preserving america and really just see it as a financial opportunity to sell out this
00:13:14.400
country uh on the way down and that is how you get the birth of managed decline you've done uh tremendous
00:13:22.400
work where you had to go down like four and five layers and and pull things apart and connect dots and
00:13:27.200
and and and to to see what the relationships are in the connective tissue so what does it tell us about
00:13:34.400
our country's elites that some of what you a lot of what you do particularly relate to the biden's and and
00:13:40.240
others is uh it's kind of up in your grill i mean you have to do your digging because you always like
00:13:46.960
to have the the footnotes that connect all the dots but in for instance the ccp what we now call the ccp
00:13:54.160
pen biden center in in or other things related to the laptop from hell the biden's were not shy
00:14:02.240
i mean they were just brazen it was there was a definite ask but the chinese didn't try to cover their
00:14:07.920
tracks either i think i i don't know if it's that they think our elites are so craven right or they
00:14:14.640
understand what managed decline is they see they see a decline of a country and just they're just
00:14:18.960
going to go ahead and feed the elites as much as they can but but talk about the by the biden's have
00:14:23.440
been they're not in the cnn piece talked about there's pretty brazen there where they're talking
00:14:28.400
about health care things or charter schools but in regards to our greatest enemy probably the
00:14:33.520
greatest enemy this republic's ever had a true existential threat they're pretty brazen about
00:14:38.400
how they go about it is it what are your thoughts on that ma'am well i think the evidence-based answer
00:14:44.960
to that question um and it's actually what i think i talked about the first time i ever came on war room
00:14:49.760
was it all goes back to the media um in the mainstream media these trips that i was talking
00:14:54.960
about how they pay for people to go overseas to china really the number one target uh that the chinese
00:15:00.320
communist party goes after in the united states is the media is the mainstream media is these
00:15:05.360
journalists because they know if they can get the media to not report on certain issues right
00:15:10.000
whether lies of omission or purposely portray certain issues through a different light right it's very
00:15:14.960
rare that you ever hear the mainstream media really say the words chinese communist party uh let alone
00:15:20.080
refer to them as an existential threat or enemy oftentimes it's you know competitor or partner um but
00:15:25.920
they've really gone after the media because they know that that kind of provides them insulation and
00:15:30.560
insurance um from having any of their nefarious doings ever be exposed so that's why they've
00:15:36.480
really really really charmed journalists from all outlets i've done previous reporting on this from
00:15:41.600
the wall street journal to msnbc to mbc to cnn to newsweek uh you name it so that's sort of the short
00:15:48.480
answer as to why it's so in your face because they think they can get away with it and nine times out of ten
00:15:54.400
uh they can but i think the other reason why they get away with it and to go anecdotal and speaking
00:15:59.760
about the pen biden center pen which received obviously a lot of money from the chinese communist
00:16:05.520
party and by a lot i think i mean over 70 million dollars in the course of just a few years um the
00:16:11.440
university of pennsylvania was really instrumental in lobbying the biden regime to drop the trump era
00:16:18.160
quote china initiative which was a doj uh led effort to really root out this chinese communist
00:16:24.560
party influence primarily in academia but also think tanks really kind of the country writ large
00:16:30.240
so it's an example of what trump was talking about in that clip um but like i said upenn along with some
00:16:36.240
other universities like stanford which is where the infamous pamela carlin used to teach uh the person
00:16:42.080
who was going after the election audits and in arizona but these universities were instrumental
00:16:47.760
in lobbying the biden regime to drop the china initiative which they ultimately did so my point
00:16:53.040
in all that is that the chinese communist party finds these achilles heels like i said these institutions
00:16:59.120
that they can compromise to sort of annex and have them run cover just like we've learned that these
00:17:04.400
social media companies and the intelligence agencies have been playing the praetorian guard
00:17:08.880
um for the american ruling class the chinese communist party is cultivating their own praetorian guard
00:17:14.800
uh through you know multi multi multi multi-million dollar donations so they know that it's unlikely
00:17:20.560
that penn is going to come out and say hey actually the chinese communist party was giving us tons of
00:17:25.680
millions of dollars and you know a textbook quid pro quo uh silencing academic freedom getting us to push
00:17:31.520
out chinese communist party propaganda um because all the people who are getting money from them are just that
00:17:37.120
getting money from them you know it was a harvard center not too long ago that was also funded by
00:17:41.920
the chinese communist party they were dumb enough to actually disclose it and they were the ones who put
00:17:46.960
out a study that said that the chinese communist party had an approval rating of upwards of 90 percent
00:17:52.880
during the like peak covid and that the chinese communist party had actually never been stronger
00:17:58.240
um so that just shows you the chinese communist party really has constructed an alternative reality here
00:18:04.400
in the united states and unfortunately there are just people who are so willing to take their cash that
00:18:09.440
their infiltration as opposed to invasion scheme um really it works because there are people who are
00:18:16.560
eager to aid and abet them to the tunes of millions if not billions of dollars
00:18:23.040
that's when the when the books are written about managed decline you're going to have uh
00:18:27.040
years from now you're going to have hunter biden's mugshot right on the cover of it natalie how do people
00:18:32.240
get to you in social media how they get to you over at this the war room site natalie g winters on all
00:18:37.760
platforms and make sure you go to war room.org to read our latest story about some coincidences with
00:18:43.440
numbers and hunter biden's finances and joe biden's house uh at war room.org we're going to get to that
00:18:51.200
in detail uh tomorrow that that is a shocker we have to take our time and savor that people's
00:18:57.680
heads are going to blow up thank you very much ma'am honor to have you on here
00:19:02.240
uh i want to go to dave bratt now dave first off you know the investigations just in your
00:19:07.440
time in congress by the way dave is here in his personal capacity this is his personal thoughts
00:19:11.600
he's dean down at uh the great business school at liberty university but just i want to make sure
00:19:17.200
people understand because they're they're they're melting down now about the investigative committees
00:19:22.640
in the house you've been there as a congressman um and you see what i call target rich environment
00:19:29.120
you know you got the impeachment maybe of my york is all this but right now they're particularly uh
00:19:34.000
they're particularly freaking out uh and cnn's actually doing lots of stories about the different
00:19:39.200
investigative uh groups oversight judiciary etc that are going to be looking at the biden's uh number
00:19:45.840
one this security clearance uh the the intelligence issue we got with the top secret documents and in
00:19:51.120
addition the uh the uh their their whole finances of the entire family put us inside the room how
00:19:57.360
do these investigative committees work yeah well first of all congratulations to natalie for uh just
00:20:04.000
being smart and honest and courageous and and this show always has the signal right that was just pure
00:20:10.320
signal and you've been covering uh a lot of the heavy lifting right mike gallagher congressman
00:20:15.600
gallagher is going to head up probably china piece uh but then the other oversight right the church
00:20:20.560
committees the fbi the cia's uh the justice department it's it's all one big mess right now
00:20:28.000
so one piece is going to feed right into the other uh the question is will leadership sustain uh these
00:20:34.960
initiatives once it starts blowing up it it is a little strange out there there's weird signals
00:20:39.600
coming out rubini uh just wrote a piece this afternoon and they had it's a perfect storm of mega
00:20:45.760
threats right it's like he's been following the war room and he's got larry summers from harvard
00:20:50.320
reporting on this as well shocking you know all the the consensus the new york times this afternoon
00:20:55.200
just came out with the china falling apart piece which i haven't seen uh their strategy uh is is
00:21:01.600
problematic and so uh it's it's just going to be what natalie just said i want to say one thing i want
00:21:07.840
to say one he's breaking news and we're going to have rubini's piece tomorrow rubini uh and i have
00:21:14.000
tremendous respect for rubini i know uh dean bratt does because he's one of the guys that has been
00:21:19.440
warning about this debt massive debt as a major national security problem he makes the case and
00:21:25.040
we're going to actually open the show tomorrow we're gonna have philip patrick on we're gonna have
00:21:28.560
russ vote on i hope to get uh cortez and maybe even bratt again if i can talk him into because tomorrow's
00:21:33.840
the debt ceiling rubini says hey this is worse than the 70s and this is even maybe worse than the
00:21:41.040
dark valley of the 1930s which the war room has been preaching now for a couple of years it's very
00:21:46.320
powerful what in in in given this uh obviously financial crisis and geopolitical crisis how does
00:21:54.480
congress i want you to because you were there what do you mean leadership has to have the back
00:21:59.040
of judiciary of the of the yeah of the uh the the weaponization of government of of uh of what they're
00:22:06.000
doing on homeland security of what gallagher is going to do in the china select committee what do you
00:22:10.000
mean by leadership has to have their back yeah well right now it looks like they're all working
00:22:15.520
it's coordinated the the news is coming out with the headlines from uh comer and all these guys
00:22:22.240
going across the committees and jordan's in the background and massey might do the church committee
00:22:27.200
and boy would that be a great thing uh but in dc it's just what natalie just uh overviewed right it's
00:22:34.240
this confluence between the public sector and the private sector now it's not just you know government's too
00:22:39.600
big that's the old thesis the new thesis is this is going to end up having you know trillion dollar
00:22:46.160
implications and once it does once the private sector gets whacked uh and you know all these davos
00:22:52.080
folks are over there i got a couple comments on that uh later on uh but then the donor class gets upset
00:22:58.240
they call in and say all right call off these committees right you've gone far enough right everybody
00:23:02.960
gets it everything's corrupt we all know that uh you get it you get a few hands slapped in the past
00:23:09.520
none of this has happened that that group of 20 uh is heroic and uh we owe all this oversight initiative
00:23:15.920
to them and to the folks who have worked in the trenches for the past you know 20 years to bring this
00:23:21.360
up the tea party uh was there was the early impulse uh but in congress itself you got the house doing it
00:23:27.920
the senate is silent so uh you know we need to pay attention to that if the senate is silent that's
00:23:34.160
how the game is played right uh you get to do some messaging stuff it looks good the senate doesn't do
00:23:39.520
anything no one puts any heat uh on using the mainstream media on the uh on the senators who have
00:23:46.400
you know you know kind of moderate districts who can be reasoned with you know a mansion or whatever i
00:23:53.040
don't know anymore so we'll see uh but that's uh that's how the action is going to go and then you
00:23:57.920
know once it gets up to the white house uh they're going to be probably countering a lot of this china
00:24:03.200
stuff uh but now there's a split right there's this the politics on the left is getting getting
00:24:09.360
pretty interesting too so maybe you get some uh unrest on the uh on the left and there's some
00:24:14.080
internal swarmages over power and money connect connect what you've seen because we're on bradley
00:24:20.080
theron here lee he uh gave this uh talk uh in davos they said hey look we're going to come back
00:24:25.520
china wants to be reintegrated globalization's got to work we're going to be good citizens
00:24:30.320
how does what's happening in davos this week inform your uh your thoughts about what's actually going
00:24:36.640
on in washington with the setup of these investigative committees yeah i've got a graphic guy if denver
00:24:42.880
wants to slap up the graph there's a purple line on the top uh but there's uh some news articles
00:24:48.560
coming out of europe and the davos on the green energy the green energy economy right there up on
00:24:55.440
the top is growing faster it is bigger than the than the real economy so europe's lost their marbles
00:25:02.480
right and then i i have a 30 second uh graphic called gap minder if you want to start that thing i'll just
00:25:09.520
hit play on it economic growth starts in 1800 keep your eye on those two uh pink circles that's one's india
00:25:16.560
and one's china as this thing unfolds you're going to understand that keep your eye on the ball
00:25:22.480
that red ball china is the signal this thing shows the signal you haven't seen anything yet all human
00:25:28.960
history people made a thousand dollars a year uh up until you're seeing the beginning of growth take
00:25:34.640
place the us is the green ball moving to the right people are living longer we're getting richer
00:25:40.320
gdp per capita is on the uh as you move to the right now watch right now watch that big red ball
00:25:47.280
on your left watch what happens here comes china right this is signal not knowing that is china moving
00:25:54.640
in that's their trajectory trajectory they can own the world of one more decade of that movement the
00:26:01.520
size of the ball is their 1.4 billion people versus our 300 million that that gap minder go out and
00:26:08.240
fiddle with it it also shows the uh industrialization of china is much higher than ours you can plug that
00:26:14.800
in on the horizontal axis and change variables and their capital investment is much higher than ours
00:26:20.400
and that's why they're growing hey hey yeah we're going to take a we're going to take a short commercial
00:26:25.760
break of course the the uh financial times the lens says it falls in china's population mark turning
00:26:30.960
point of global economy i'm going to ask dave brett he's down at liberty is the 450 million
00:26:37.360
forced abortions that's caused the the the drop in population how big is the lack of morals of the
00:26:43.280
chinese communist party the gangster the gangsters are on beijing short commercial break i got dave

00:30:48.000
supporting the healthy development of private sector deepening state-owned enterprises reform
00:31:17.120
that in 2023 china's growth will most likely return to its normal trend
00:31:25.440
and the chinese economy will see a significant improvement
00:31:45.520
and residential consumption returning back to normal can be expected
00:31:53.440
okay that is uh welcome back that is vice chairman lee he
00:31:56.720
uh and he's the guy they roll out that uh that is um uh the nice guy he's the guy that interacts with the
00:32:04.640
west he's a the individual that cut the deal uh with lightheiser and navarro president trump's uh
00:32:10.960
not the first big deal the lightheiser deal that took that took away the seven deadly sins
00:32:16.000
or seven original sins of china but he's the one that made the the uh the uh what they call the mini deal
00:32:24.160
um but he's sitting there and saying hey china is really going to reintegrate into the globalization
00:32:29.760
system and we've had an off year but we're coming back and we're going to essentially lead the
00:32:36.800
economy back uh and we're going to play by the rules
00:32:40.240
uh dave brett i've got bradley thayer in here bradley thayer is laid out with the gallagher
00:32:44.400
the the odds against the gallagher committee actually working okay
00:32:49.040
uh but i i also put in front of him this lee he um a document the pressure reports and that
00:32:56.560
where do you stand first of them dropping population is directly correlated to the one
00:33:00.640
china policy and people say when we say one china policy there's blood all over that they had you know
00:33:06.160
uh miles guo who i think is the best informed guy about the ccp until he says hey there's about 450
00:33:12.160
million to 500 million of abortions right and he says it's 80 20 girls the boys and he says
00:33:18.800
that's caused these massive social problems in china today and i know that from spending so much
00:33:23.280
time in china that you have you know these young men going around and there's just no it's one of the
00:33:28.080
reasons that sex trafficking is so bad but they're going around and it's like east germany after the
00:33:32.720
fall of the berlin wall they're anti-social because there's no women they're not married
00:33:37.280
they're still playing video games when they're 40 years old uh how much of um of of this because
00:33:43.600
this was the big picture davos to say hey we understand the economy's in terrible shape
00:33:47.840
but we're coming roaring back dave bratt uh you've looked at this uh you know as closely as anybody
00:33:53.360
do you buy that no i don't if you read the newspapers there's a new verb or some word out
00:33:59.440
there and the question is is china investable that's the new hot term so folks can go google that term and
00:34:06.480
you'll see a whole you know literature on that uh but you know in my view you know god's set up but
00:34:12.480
there's common grace for all to see the glory of the heavens above and the miraculous nature of the
00:34:18.400
universe etc and there's also natural law right and if you violate the natural law to the degree that china
00:34:24.000
has there are consequences and so they're living that out now and no one wants that for the chinese
00:34:29.120
people you know they're they're suffering under the ccp uh but uh they they they have all the uh
00:34:35.520
the the bubbles we have our debts 125 percent of gdp theirs is 300 percent uh they got a real estate
00:34:42.800
crisis uh they have a productivity crisis right you can only build so many bullet trains uh and make
00:34:48.400
the the basic capital infrastructure investment so they're on diminishing returns across the board
00:34:53.360
and uh they will decline uh they still have a a powerful uh engine available to them uh but you
00:35:01.280
saw at the 20th uh ccp congress right they made three moves right they went full-on marxist leninist
00:35:07.520
two they got rid of all economic reforms that graph i just showed you at gapminder.org uh economic growth
00:35:16.240
began uh when societies choose the free market system there's always been markets but a society has to
00:35:23.200
choose uh to have a free market system we are rejecting ours as well but china is just rejected
00:35:29.840
theirs and of course on top of that they got rid of all the china language on peace of harmony and uh
00:35:35.360
the third point was they went to a war footing language on struggle sessions uh intentions coming
00:35:40.800
up with the rest of the world so you know you put those three together and uh xi jipeng that's that's
00:35:45.840
his new thesis and that is not compatible with economic growth so the the second and third guys say all
00:35:52.800
they want it ain't gonna happen let me bring in well lee who's got the strategist dr thayer before
00:35:59.440
we get to the mike gallagher tough time he's gonna have do you buy what uh dave brad's selling or do you
00:36:06.880
do you believe lee ho dr bradley thayer i don't believe lee ho remember you're steve you're old enough
00:36:14.080
to remember the dick cavett show i remember when mary mccarthy dismissed lillian hellman saying that every
00:36:19.920
word that she writes is a lie including and and the every word that this guy said was a lie
00:36:27.520
so you can dismiss the totality of it it should hold it hold it hold it hold it hold it i got i
00:36:32.560
want to hear that because this is important davos is like sitting there going oh the chinese have come
00:36:37.840
and lee ho is such a brilliant strategist and statesman and he's told us it's all going to be
00:36:42.080
good and they're going to re they're going to they're going to reintegrate into the rules-based
00:36:46.000
uh the international rules-based order dr bradley thayer well no they're not this is just a smoke
00:36:53.040
screen i mean what he's attempting to do is state brad uh really is is a saying is that they're trying
00:36:59.680
to lure investors they face profound economic difficulties they're trying to keep people from
00:37:06.000
leaving china investment from leaving china because they face just a in some respects a perfect storm of
00:37:13.760
problem the demographic issues of course that dave brad mentioned but obviously covid uh is working
00:37:19.920
its way through and this is why we're seeing one of the reasons why we're seeing this low growth which
00:37:24.880
is going to be sustained xi jinping is never going to give up his ideology his i he sees himself as
00:37:31.920
mao zedong and even greater than mao and ideology is at the core of his identity at the core of his belief
00:37:40.960
so he can send individuals out from time to time to talk about china reintegrating itself uh into a
00:37:48.880
liberal international order uh but it's uh it's simply deception uh it's an information operation uh
00:37:57.280
designed to um uh help address their profound problems they have tremendous vulnerabilities and
00:38:05.280
now's the time to act against them because they are so vulnerable so it's a question of whether we'll
00:38:11.200
do that or not in conjunction with others but that's the key issue okay hang on for a second
00:38:17.920
because brett's got to bounce dave i want to tie that back to uh uh clearly dr thayer thinks you're
00:38:24.400
right on this but i want to tie it back to the to the video we play today that jack was so big put up
00:38:29.520
is uh he had an exclusive on it from president trump president trump really and i think it's the
00:38:35.200
first time he's really done it at that level of depth talked about essentially the influence
00:38:39.760
operation going on the ccp the money they're spreading here and that the not just in the
00:38:44.880
straits of taiwan not just in the defense of taiwan or uh you know talking about our allies in japan or
00:38:50.640
south korea right the kinetic part of this or even the the unrestricted warfare in asia but really
00:38:57.280
talked about it here uh do you do you think president trump's that's a clarion call or do
00:39:02.400
you think that's uh an overstatement sir no i i agreed with every plank that was the policy case
00:39:10.560
that's why i kind of skipped over it he laid that out and thayer just said uh rightly uh that's the
00:39:16.800
point right china's going to come at us uh like uh the previous reports on all they do even with the
00:39:24.080
house uh interns uh to sway them much less members of congress with millions and millions of dollars
00:39:30.080
in the private sector the fortune 500 esg and all this stuff right so you know thayer said the the
00:39:36.880
thesis statement they're going to do their best uh to convince us to come back there trump just went
00:39:42.400
point by point by point down about 20 policy points that said we got to do this this and this
00:39:47.600
to prevent that from happening so now it's incumbent on the house and the senate and the american people
00:39:52.640
uh to wake up and uh quit doing the easy thing always right i'm i'm subject to the same uh issues
00:40:01.120
that the average american is it's just it's easier to just you know making your purchases the easy way
00:40:06.880
not thinking through really the implications of our consumption investment decisions and uh we got to do better
00:40:15.600
dave how do people uh get you how they get you down at uh at the the business court liberty and how
00:40:21.200
they follow all the content you're putting up on bratt economics yeah bratt economics at getter and uh
00:40:27.600
i've been lighting it up the last few days i've added a lot of new content you'll see all the stuff i just
00:40:33.120
mentioned uh today and uh it'll it'll keep you share it with the young people you know and have
00:40:38.720
them go fiddle around on their computers with that gap minder gap minder dot org you can learn a ton
00:40:46.000
of economics uh just sitting down with that simple little app
00:40:51.760
dave bratt thank you for joining us stephanie appreciate you pulling yourself away thanks
00:40:59.200
okay uh dr fay you wrote this amazing piece and that's what we started off the hour by uh by um
00:41:06.640
discussing um discussing the the investigations we led him with president trump and then talked
00:41:13.280
the last couple hours about these investigations you had a special warning for gallagher and i want to make
00:41:17.760
sure we we put that up and i want you to walk through it particularly the fact you're saying hey
00:41:21.520
don't buy the li ho thing that that's that's ridiculous i mean li ho is over there davos he's
00:41:26.160
he's telling them what they want to hear uh and that's why they're all saying oh this is amazing this
00:41:31.040
is great china's coming roaring back they're going to be integrated back into the international rules
00:41:36.240
based order bad orange man bad did not chase him away tell our audience specifically what is the
00:41:43.600
issues with um what's the issues with uh with mike gallagher and what does he face sir this this
00:41:49.120
select committee on china we might note that gallagher did not go to davos he was scheduled to go to
00:41:54.560
davos uh he waved off uh i would like to hope that this show and uh and our contributors had a little
00:42:01.600
bit to do with that uh it might have been other reasons but i think this is at least part of it
00:42:06.080
walk us through we got a couple minutes here walk us through what gallagher the challenges facing mike
00:42:10.560
gallagher on the select committee for the investigation into china absolutely steve uh what he's attempting to
00:42:17.840
do is heroic and he deserves tremendous support but he has really the augian stables he's got to clean
00:42:23.920
out first we've been here before remember the cox commission report fred thompson in the senate
00:42:30.080
christopher cox in the house uh generated an incredible report in 1999 saying that china has been trying to
00:42:37.840
steal our technology for 20 years that is since diplomatic relations and were established in 1979
00:42:44.880
uh and the the document that was generated the cox commission report uh essentially uh is notable
00:42:55.760
because so little was done uh so little was done because the american political elite and others did
00:43:03.040
not want to make any changes so caught the cox commission serves as a warning uh to gallagher in terms of
00:43:10.880
um the amount of investigation he's going to be able to do is absolutely important to document uh what's
00:43:17.680
occurring but then those suggestions those recommendations have to be put in that's going
00:43:24.080
to require leadership that's going to require mccarthy and that's going to require the senate and
00:43:28.800
that's going to require a president uh to do so i often say the china threat should be non-partisan
00:43:35.920
uh sadly it's not holy but it indeed should be non-partisan as all of us democrats independence
00:43:42.480
republicans are going to be affected but are affected by it and are only going to be but how
00:43:47.600
is it because you're going to have you're going to have the convergence and the conflation of two
00:43:51.440
things you've got a select committee on on the ccp right and and gallagher has a little bit and this
00:43:58.240
is my concern with it a little too much neocon kinetic our military and them as a competitor in business
00:44:04.880
which is not the point the point is they're an existential threat that is already at war with us
00:44:10.720
right already at war this economically uh psychological warfare cyber warfare information
00:44:16.160
warfare fifth generation warfare but also you're going to have the convergence because on the other
00:44:21.200
side and this is one of the reasons we put up at the top of the five o'clock show the freak out that
00:44:25.680
they're having with the um the freak out they're having with uh you know mega people from the 20
00:44:32.800
being put into these committees particularly the investigative committees you're going to have
00:44:36.320
very quickly the convergence of the biden crime family with uh aspects of the ccp the laptop from
00:44:45.120
hell is going to be comer's already said hey now we're going to get into the laptop from hell and oh by
00:44:49.440
the way we're making the biden family's finances article number one we want to get to the bottom of all
00:44:55.280
their finances so how you're going to have the convergence of these two what would you recommend what what
00:45:00.880
if you were on gallagher's staff what would you how would you tell him uh what direction should he
00:45:06.800
go in driving the select committee on the investigation into the ccp there are three elements
00:45:13.520
there that gallagher can advance um again keeping in mind the cox commission history matters uh and
00:45:20.960
that's the lessons that um should have been learned in the past need to be applied here first china is
00:45:27.680
the enemy it is an existential threat it is involving everything it's ubiquitous in every aspect of our
00:45:35.520
elite from silicon valley to wall street media obviously universities are political our politics at
00:45:43.200
the state local government uh uh levels uh it's everywhere again it is ubiquitous they are our enemy
00:45:51.360
and if gallagher can come away uh with after his uh essentially uh all of the testimonies the evidence
00:45:58.960
acquired to advance the explanation why china is the enemy of the united states that's incredibly valuable
00:46:07.040
secondly building on that we have to begin to take the battle to the ccp that is they have tremendous
00:46:15.760
vulnerabilities dave bratt natalie winters has touched on this day bratt did and so many others
00:46:22.000
on your show have touched on the vulnerabilities that they have but gallagher has to advance the offense
00:46:29.120
against the ccp how do we exploit their vulnerabilities that's absolutely essential
00:46:35.520
and then thirdly um to go uh leave no stone unturned uh steven you appreciate of course how difficult
00:46:43.920
that's going to be uh given that it is an augie and stable and it's going to have to be mucked out
00:46:50.480
and when you muck that out you're going to find that senate house uh it's a bipartisan problem and there
00:46:57.360
are a lot of folks who are very powerful uh biden administration uh obviously uh are uh are culpable
00:47:05.760
um in terms of what they have done in the past and what they're
00:47:11.840
let's just set aside the the the the family for a second and put that aside because you've got it to
00:47:18.320
do this investigation right you have to as the committee on the present danger i mean the the
00:47:23.120
the the economic warfare part and the capital markets part on the on the on the committee
00:47:28.240
on the present danger has been you know brilliant but you're going to have to name names you're
00:47:34.640
going to have to show how wall street with the pension fund money the people of the united states
00:47:38.240
have financed the chinese communist party you're going to have to talk about uh silicon valley i think
00:47:43.760
you have to bring up and i'll pick up for example sequoia capital uh in which sequoia is uh one of
00:47:50.880
the financiers of elon musk twitter acquisition sequoia capital is i say a front and i know they're
00:47:57.440
being investigated by uh by and i know exactly why it was stopped at one time it will be restarted uh in
00:48:03.600
the house intelligence committee on there being a front for the chinese communist party you have to get
00:48:09.280
into and start naming those type of names in that level of detail on the technology side on the
00:48:14.480
corporate side on the finance side do you think gallagher uh we we have to go black black black
00:48:21.280
rock the blacks to all of it all of it it's gonna it would get first of all it would be riveting
00:48:26.000
television but remember they're also the biggest donors to the political party the pressure on this
00:48:32.640
committee will will be enormous if it's to do it the right thing so how would you what would you tell
00:48:38.400
gallagher how would he go about this well in in addition to those points it's going to require
00:48:46.880
obviously air cover uh from uh leadership but uh mike gallagher is the type of guy who's going to go
00:48:54.560
he's going to advance and he's going to explore uh what needs to be explored and that's wall street as
00:49:00.880
you said uh steve certainly um larry fink essentially the corrupt aspect of our thrift
00:49:07.840
savings plan that frank gaffney and brian kennedy have such a done and roger robinson have done such
00:49:13.440
an exceptional job of identifying the fact that the u.s government employees in their retirement fund
00:49:18.800
are funding the ccp and the pla that's how bad the rot is uh so gallagher can do an exceptional job
00:49:28.960
of obviously not only exposing the rot but ensuring that as you said names are going to be named here
00:49:36.560
in terms of those who have been driving this uh and that's the first thing uh you know that's
00:49:43.200
obviously a key element in addressing um the problems that we face uh and ensuring that we're
00:49:50.000
no longer funding the ccp yeah dr thayer we got to bounce uh your book with uh lin chow han which is
00:49:58.080
