00:02:59.180everyone has been doing that and really getting involved and I think everyone has so I just wanted
00:03:05.160to go over um some critical dates and information um the first is registration dates uh voter registration

00:03:43.080um going on to early voting today is a critical day for Arizona I hope a lot of you uh guys have
00:03:53.320already casted your votes in Arizona and um it starts today or started today and just use those apps and
00:04:03.680make sure that you cast your ballot early this time I was there in Arizona last year to check it out and
00:04:11.100I saw firsthand how long the lines were it was so hot outside people were um the some of the printers
00:04:18.240weren't working people were asked to go to different locations it was really chaotic so this year make
00:04:24.780plans make sure your friends and family have have plans to go vote early this gives an opportunity
00:04:30.220to give us a longer period of time to to chase ballots not 12 hours but we have a couple weeks just like
00:04:39.780the Democrats so let's let's take advantage of that and and and really vote early
00:04:46.860so uh and then you could take a screenshot of that and make sure that you know yes make sure you know
00:04:53.020when um your state oh I already started yesterday so um and then moving on to
00:05:01.060yes the get out to vote apps it's early vote action that's Scott Pressler TP action that's um Charlie
00:05:11.300Kirk and Tyler Boyer and Nevada GOP app they're all very similar and you can call text send postcards and
00:05:21.300send postcards they you can start it and then they will give you addresses and these are real this is
00:05:26.740these are targeted voters these are the voters that we want to go after they're um there's just so much
00:05:32.340information on it so I highly recommend downloading these apps and using them if you have any questions
00:05:38.740you can reach out or just any general um get out to vote questions you can reach out to Jojo she's our
00:05:45.940war room grassroots liaison and she I mean again she texted me this morning again saying she was flooded

00:06:00.820vip treatment and try to answer all the questions that you have and give you suggestions um you can reach
00:06:06.660out her on social media twitter or getter at jojo wfma or directly by email which is jojo wfma at proton dot me
00:06:19.460and then also I want to stress how critical it is for us to hold the house and take control of the house
00:06:27.700and the senate and I know that a lot of posse members you know you might not like your republican
00:06:35.060candidate for whatever reason um but it is just so critical that we that that we we control this
00:06:44.340because it's not going to help trump or the movement if we don't we need to make sure that we
00:06:51.700we control it plain and simple so I'm just asking the posse to be open-minded and strategic about this and
00:06:59.380just vote republican down the ballot um and going back to Arizona Carrie Lake we must send her to
00:07:07.700the senate so make sure Carrie Lake Abe Hamaday and just read all the way down and um I just wanted to
00:07:16.420correct yesterday's program on battleground I said that Steve being in uh prison was a blessing I meant
00:07:22.660to say a blessing in disguise obviously it's not a blessing so I just wanted to clear that up but
00:07:26.660again it's this you know I was talking to Mike Lindell this morning and he I asked him do do you
00:07:33.380think that the energy is different than four years ago and he said absolutely you know we're in 2020
00:07:38.820we're coming out of um COVID everyone was like just it was a really strange weird vibe I was you know
00:07:46.900we didn't really know what was going on but this year everyone is so engaged everyone the energy is
00:07:52.580there so let's just keep this momentum going let's make sure that when Steve gets out um we're just
00:08:00.100we we're already ahead so I'm just so proud of the posse and I just want to thank all of you guys
00:08:05.700um for just really participating person participating and getting involved
00:08:11.540well we everybody thanks you Grace for what you've done your industry uh the fact that you've been uh
00:08:18.660absolutely driving these issues ahead is so important and uh we're so pleased to have you
00:08:24.820on so that you could review those issues and and provide the information to the audience which is
00:08:29.700so essential so Grace thank you so much for what you've done thank you uh and continue to do uh
00:08:35.460obviously because uh the days are getting longer aren't they uh uh Grace is uh come up to uh to November
00:08:42.1805th things are already well underway as you've stressed uh but um everything's got to be in
00:08:48.260for it for the presidency for President Trump for the Senate and for the House as well as well as
00:08:53.620state votes uh state uh offices and local offices as well Grace thanks very much for joining us thank
00:09:00.740you so much uh next I'd like to turn to Sam Faddis a great friend of the program and well known to
00:09:07.700folks uh former CIA operative uh Sam welcome to the program I I know that you have uh some great
00:09:15.540knowledge of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and I just wonder uh building on what Grace said about
00:09:20.740the momentum uh of that there does seem to be a very it's very different uh in 2024 from 2020.
00:09:28.820Sam do you see the same thing in Pennsylvania?
00:09:31.140Yeah I absolutely do I am extremely optimistic look the the Dems always want to mischaracterize
00:09:39.300this for very deliberate purposes right the MAGA movement America first is a bunch of uh neo-Nazi
00:09:45.540inbred white uh violent extremists uh against you know all right-thinking Americans obviously that's
00:09:53.140ludicrous this is a vast populist movement this is the American people
00:10:00.660has nothing to do with ethnicity color or any of that I mean look I I was down in Hazleton about
00:10:06.580an hour and a half south of me which city is two-thirds Hispanic now meeting again uh we've
00:10:12.660been doing this for some time with influential people in that community and I can tell you that
00:10:17.780city overwhelmingly pro pro-Trump I I think what you are seeing is a fundamental realignment politically
00:10:28.020in this country now having said that nobody watching this broadcast go back put your feet
00:10:34.100up turn on the tube and say it doesn't matter this is like coming to the end of a long run what do
00:10:39.780you do at the end you kick you sprint you put everything out until you are across that finish line
00:10:46.180that's what we need to do but I am really optimistic we're going to deliver Pennsylvania for Donald Trump.
00:10:51.860Wonderful news uh Sam absolutely and uh I'd just like to add uh that Sam and I along with others
00:11:00.500will be at uh Karen Sigman's American Freedom Alliance uh World War III uh the early years
00:11:08.820a conference which is going to be held October Saturday October 19th in Allentown Pennsylvania
00:11:13.940uh from nine to five and folks can go to American Freedom Alliance uh the website uh to find out the
00:11:20.500details of that again that'll be uh Saturday October 19th from nine to five in Allentown Pennsylvania
00:11:27.300where we have really a great lineup of folks uh to talk about Brian Kennedy many many uh Colonel John Mills
00:11:34.420Frank Gaffney uh as well as Sam and and uh many others uh who'll be talking uh at that conference
00:11:41.620uh so uh hope to see folks uh uh there and to get information again on American Freedom Alliance
00:11:48.260Sam you've written uh two great pieces uh recently uh one again which is on the Democratic Vice
00:11:56.340Presidential Candidate Tim Waltz uh and um his misdemeanors and his misbehavior uh and his sordid
00:12:04.420relationship with the Chinese Communist Party uh could you talk to the audience about that and uh what
00:12:10.420he's been doing uh and uh how you're getting the goods on him Sam definitely in the pieces that
00:12:15.380you're publishing and and magazine and magazine yeah well look to to summarize Walz's background
00:12:23.620his connections to the Chinese Communist Party are terrifying and again as everybody in this program
00:12:28.740knows we're not you know when we're opposing the Chinese Communist Party doesn't have anything to do
00:12:33.380with opposing the Chinese people they're the ones that suffer first at the hands of the CCP but the CCP
00:12:39.220is a monstrous totalitarian thuggest organization and this guy Walz has been up to his eyeballs in
00:12:45.460direct contact with the CCP for a very long time by his own count he's made something like 30 trips to
00:12:53.220Communist China taking along groups of American students to show them the wonders of Communist China
00:13:00.020according to the information that's coming out now from the committee investigating this the CCP paid for
00:13:05.540that so that means this guy has been in business with the CCP for many years to take Americans to
00:13:13.060Communist China and then convince them of the wonders in his view of the CCP he describes communism as
00:13:20.820everybody's the same everybody shares its neighborliness right that that's his description of a system that has
00:13:28.260forced organ harvesting slave labor camps outlaws free speech and hunts down dissidents across the
00:13:35.220world that's neighborliness this guy has funneled money to the Hormel Institute in Minnesota okay well
00:13:42.580they're lashed up with the Wuhan lab yeah that Wuhan lab the point of origin of COVID these guys at
00:13:51.060Hormel Institute are in partnership with them and walls is funneling money to them on down a list of other
00:13:57.860entities all associated with the United Front which is the CCP's
00:14:04.660program to effectively manipulate and control take control of other countries so the best you could
00:14:13.860say about him is he's a completely useful idiot for the CCP even that I think quite frankly is a stretch
00:14:22.580to think that after all of these years and all of this money he doesn't understand what he's doing I
00:14:28.580think he picked a side a long time ago and it was Beijing indeed and also Sam you you pointed out in
00:14:35.780your piece the Chinese people's association for friendship with foreign countries right which is a
00:14:41.060front organization it's an influence group directly funded by the CCP yes uh so uh waltz uh the the ties of the
00:14:48.980Hormel Institute and then even as late as 2007 right he was a fellow
00:14:54.580at the Macau Polytechnic University which is part of the Belt and Road Initiative uh launched by the
00:15:01.540Chinese Communist Party and that's that's another influence operation so there seem to be enough uh uh
00:15:07.780uh data points Sam I think it's quite clear you can run a through line uh here and we can see
00:15:14.420that he's taking students to China uh where MSS can pitch him right Sam that's your your former employer
00:15:22.020uh and others uh it's on their territory MSS could uh pitch American students um and uh we should think of that
00:15:32.420as another influence operation in addition to the Hormel Institute it's ties to Wuhan it's really sorted Sam and I think it's uh the fact that um
00:15:42.420um at you know as you said a useful idiot I think it said indeed as you suggested and as you conclude
00:15:48.580it's far worse than that what do you think Sam yeah I I think you're bending over backwards to
00:15:55.140to attempt to conclude that this guy somehow is up to his eyeballs and all these contacts and all this
00:16:00.980money but he doesn't understand what's going on I mean come on if I if I was still working and I was
00:16:06.900looking at this I would be saying you know turn on every alert we've got start the red lights flashing
00:16:13.540this guy was bought and paid for a long time ago by the CCP and now he wants to be standing
00:16:22.580one heartbeat away from control of the United States government I mean come on this is that this
00:16:29.540is and that it's not I would say ludicrous but ludicrous diminishes it it's terrifying
00:16:34.100and that's what we know I'm sure there are many more shoes to draw yes uh on Tim Waltz and his
00:16:39.940relationship uh with the Chinese Communist Party and it just seems uh layer after layer of this guy's
00:16:46.820ties uh to United Front Group's influence operations MSS that is the Chinese intelligence service
00:16:53.620right another uh element Sam you also wrote a great piece on uh the implications of Hurricane
00:17:00.740Helene in western North Carolina in particular uh and the fact that as you put it um it's uh
00:17:08.820folks have got to realize that the U.S. government's run by folks uh who despise uh uh their fellow
00:17:16.100citizens could you talk us through that piece as well yeah well I think folks that are following the
00:17:21.540aftermath of Helene are familiar with the fact that people out there who have been abandoned by the
00:17:25.860federal government are saying repeatedly in effect that they don't care about us they're not doing
00:17:31.540anything for us they they they're not supporting us they're not doing their job and and the point of
00:17:38.500the article was to say it's not your imagination Rasmussen just did a really really thorough uh survey
00:17:47.620where they looked at the attitudes of what they call the elite one percent which and and how that mirrors
00:17:54.260or dovetails with the attitudes of government managers so these government managers senior
00:18:01.060people in the federal service really largely identify with this one percent so what does that
00:18:07.060boil down to and the results quite frankly are shocking I mean it's one of those things where you
00:18:11.140sort of knew this instinctively uh in advance but then when you actually see the data it still kind of
00:18:18.580blows your mind I mean you know you can go to the article and see all the the breakdown of the stats and
00:18:25.380then of course go to the original survey but you're talking attitudes where uh 70 80 percent of these people
00:18:33.540think the there should not be private ownership of firearms in other words there should not be a
00:18:40.500second amendment 70 percent of them think you shouldn't be allowed to vote unless you have a college
00:18:48.820degree somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 to 80 percent want to ban gas stoves want to ban gas
00:18:57.300powered vehicles I mean all these attitudes that in the average amongst the populace are regarded as
00:19:04.500as crazy quite frankly really extreme viewpoints not to be taken seriously you find good lord these
00:19:15.300these people who are running your government actually believe this and then you get down to like their
00:19:22.980attitudes on do you have the power to should you go ahead and issue a regulation even when the vast
00:19:28.340majority of the american people disapprove in other words should you order the american people to do
00:19:33.060something they don't want to do and don't think you should do and overwhelmingly the attitude is yeah
00:19:38.100what's the problem so you realize that no these people the term public servant is an anachronism they
00:19:45.460don't regard themselves as public servants and they don't share your attitudes and they don't care
00:19:51.860because they believe they are superior and your job is to shut up and sit down and do what you're
00:19:57.380told that's what it comes down to yeah it's quite clear the people of the states affected
00:20:02.500by hurricane the seven states affected by hurricane helene and the disastrous performance of fema
00:20:07.940and the contemptuous right i mean it was it wasn't uh it was deliberate contempt uh deliberate obfuscation
00:20:16.580and deliberate uh uh simply um treatment it's absolutely unacceptable that the federal government
00:20:23.700the fema uh is in people in dire need who need assistance uh without uh wireless right without cell phone
00:20:32.180are being told to do it online it just seems to be um it's not incompetence it's uh by design
00:20:38.900uh sam i mean i'm and and uh you've added so much i think to our understanding uh of that and um it just
00:20:47.540seems there are so many different levels as we were touching on uh and the uh incompetence uh is
00:20:55.940absolutely driven uh by far deeper forces uh and uh the fact that they dismiss fellow americans in that
00:21:03.620way is just outrageous yeah it is and they have no idea i mean they these people are completely divorced
00:21:10.740from reality they're they're contemptuous it's precisely the word that i was searching for you hit
00:21:16.420the nail on the head they they they don't think like you they don't act like you and they don't care
00:21:22.260because you have to understand they're better than you they're smarter than you they are superior to
00:21:28.900you you are ignorant you're a serf your job again is just to do what you are told and you they do not
00:21:37.780it's not even when they understand well here's another another point the last point i'll make is
00:21:44.420maybe the most terrifying aspect of this is when rasmussen looked into their attitudes
00:21:49.380and you show this just grand canyon between them and the american people he then asks them
00:21:57.620basically questions that go to and and do you think most americans think like you
00:22:04.820and a terrifying number way in excess of 50 percent say oh yeah the american people agree with us
00:22:11.940they they that's how oblivious they are how out of touch
00:22:16.100yeah they they they want to ban private firearms and actually believe most americans
00:22:23.380accept that i mean i think of the level of self-delusion involved here
00:22:29.860well i like the the piece uh a fun a great point that you made was that we're a country divided
00:22:35.300certainly but it's not the racial divisions that were touted uh often by our media of course not
00:22:41.300but men and women uh gay versus straight but it's that elite and the american people i think you're
00:22:48.100you're right there sam uh when you're making that point uh it is as you've stressed it's the uh elite uh
00:22:56.100versus uh the american people and the elite are running the show and when that that shows up uh
00:23:02.100in uh the seven states affected by helene and let's say heaven forbid that it shows up uh in florida
00:23:09.140with uh milton uh heading tonight uh and uh and afterwards well sam where do folks go to get your
00:23:16.100writings and uh get your insights best place to go uh is to go to end magazine at substack so that's
00:23:22.820and magazine dot substack dot com and as always i will close by saying free steve bannon

00:31:15.380good afternoon we're back i'm brad there filling in for steve bannon uh and i'm very pleased to be
00:31:20.740joined by my friend and frequent writing partner uh james finnell jim finnell is a retired u.s navy
00:31:27.780captain uh jim and i write for american greatness we've got a column every week uh appearing there
00:31:34.900and we co-authored a new book uh embracing communist china uh america's greatest strategic failure and jim
00:31:43.060served as a career naval intelligence officer and he's had very senior positions uh with ctf 70
00:31:50.660the seventh fleet uh and um retired from the navy in 2015 and presently he's a a uh he's a
00:32:00.260governmental fellow at the geneva center for security policy in geneva switzerland uh and jim we're very
00:32:06.260pleased to have you on the program uh this afternoon jim you've uh done so much uh obviously with your
00:32:13.700background and navy intel uh and um looking at the tremendous growth of the threat from the chinese
00:32:20.500communist party and the people's republic of china we've seen in the last couple of weeks a series of
00:32:27.540very worrisome developments beginning with an intercontinental ballistic missile or icbm test
00:32:34.020that the prc conducted uh jim could you bring the audience into up to speed on these issues
00:32:39.540sure brad well first of all thanks for having me on and uh i want to echo what sam faddis ended
00:32:46.020on let's remember steve bannon is in prison and so when we talk about the threats to democracy we
00:32:51.700should think of those examples of peter navarro and steve bannon and we all obviously remember our
00:32:56.900friends and family and in the hurricane struck areas from helena and and now with uh milton that's
00:33:03.700coming um in terms of uh this discussion about the what's the chinese have been doing and what's
00:33:09.940going on in the indo-pacific i'd like to frame it in the in the reference of we hear a lot about uh
00:33:15.700president trump asking folks you know what was it like four years ago how was your life four years
00:33:21.060ago in terms of economics you know was it was your gas cheaper uh was your food cheaper uh you know was
00:33:27.940inflation down those kinds of things and i would extend that to the national security arena in the
00:33:33.460indo-pacific maybe most people don't follow these things that close like you and i uh but there's
00:33:39.300there's evidence there that things are demonstrably worse uh in the indo-pacific uh since uh four years
00:33:45.620ago when donald trump left office and you mentioned the first one which is on january or september 25th
00:33:51.300the chinese launched for the first time in 44 years an intercontinental ballistic missile into the
00:33:58.180pacific they went from south china sea heinan island out 7 500 miles to maybe 9 000 miles they launched
00:34:05.940a missile most likely a df-41 and they were testing their capability to be able to attack continental
00:34:12.980united states with ballistic missiles that have nuclear weapons on them so they're practicing to
00:34:19.940destroy america and put us under threat and the fact that that happened for the first time in 44 years
00:34:25.780is really quite shocking demonstrates the capability of their strategic rocket force and their political
00:34:31.780will to continue to uh achieve their goal which is to displace the united states and defeat us um here
00:34:38.820in the last week we saw that the uh united kingdom uh made an agreement to turn over the base that we
00:34:46.100jointly have in the indian ocean at diego garcia uh and they turned that over to the country of mauritia
00:34:53.460or mauritania and that is a significant issue very much similar to what president trump talks about
00:35:01.060the relationship with bagram airbase in afghanistan the fact that we will now potentially lose access
00:35:09.140to diego garcia is a strategic uh victory for china in rolling back america's presence in the indo-pacific
00:35:17.540and it puts america's national security at risk then we've been watching over the last six eight
00:35:23.300months china really ramping up their aggression and threats uh to our ally the republic of the
00:35:29.860philippines in the south china sea and while that's an why is that important to americans well they're our
00:35:36.020ally that there's some importance there but also five to seven trillion dollars worth of uh the world's
00:35:42.500gdp goes through the south china sea and china's effectively trying to take over that body of
00:35:48.020water and to be able to control who can go in and go out and they want to push the united states out
00:35:54.740likewise they had carrier operations uh with their their carriers here in the last couple months and
00:36:00.580just in the last two weeks they had their first carrier it was operating for for over a week uh in the
00:36:07.300philippine sea and close approaching to guam and then down very south in the south pacific to the
00:36:13.380east of mindanao which they've never really operated that far south before and they flew over 630 sorties
00:36:20.900uh maybe not on par with our carriers but what we've seen over the last two years is a real ramp up of the
00:36:26.660pla navy uh carrier training operations and their expansion and capabilities which could be used in any
00:36:35.140conflict in the indo-pacific and this just adds another layer of of danger to the u.s pacific fleet
00:36:42.820the u.s seventh fleet where we operate out there uh and it would affect our ability to come to the
00:36:48.580assistance of our allies or to protect our own interests our own shipping or other things that we
00:36:53.940need to do out there uh and make it more vulnerable for places like hawaii and our west coast and so i think
00:37:00.660people should be aware that this has all happened under the biden harris watch we just had also in
00:37:07.300the last month we saw russian long-range aviation and prc uh bombers flying from china then into russia
00:37:17.540over into the gulf of alaskan or alaskan air defense identification zone basically flying bomber profiles
00:37:25.380that would be used to attack the united states using nuclear air launched nuclear weapons which would
00:37:31.380be another leg of their triad of their nuclear arsenal they have sea-based launch missiles they
00:37:38.100have shore-based icbms and then they would have air launch missiles and so they're testing all of these
00:37:45.460virtually all the time and in a kind of a rate that we didn't see four years ago um also we saw here
00:37:53.860tomorrow will be the uh 113th anniversary of the republic of china or taiwan they will celebrate
00:38:00.500their anniversary and their president has been talking about hey we we have no we don't have
00:38:06.740this kind of idea that we're have a motherland back in mainland china we are taiwan and china is now
00:38:12.820threatening using threatening language against taiwan just for having this idea that they're a self-sustaining
00:38:20.500island that has their own economy has their own government has their own
00:38:23.700military and they haven't declared independence but they just said hey we don't have any ancestral
00:38:29.060connections with you guys anymore we're a separate place and china is now threatening to use military
00:38:34.660force again and on a daily basis over the last three years of the the biden harris regime we have
00:38:41.220seen a dramatic increase in prc military operations against taiwan for instance crossing the center line
00:38:49.060with combat aircraft only occurred four times in 60 years before biden harris came into office and now
00:38:55.700it is occurring hundreds of times a year uh and on a almost a daily basis and so a real failure there to uh
00:39:05.460basically stop china's aggression against taiwan in our own interest which would destabilize uh the the
00:39:12.580the global economy of china of taiwan's uh uh were to fall into chinese hands in their acquisition or
00:39:18.500destruction of the chip factories in taiwan likewise china has also taken some new unprecedented actions
00:39:25.860against japan the chinese military has flown into uh japanese territorial airspace here in the last month
00:39:35.540with reconnaissance aircraft that had not happened since world war ii then a few a week or so after
00:39:42.180that occurred a chinese aircraft carrier went through the territorial waters which is in 12 nautical miles
00:39:48.500of japanese territory and it wasn't down in the lower ryuku islands this is up near kyushu in the main
00:39:54.100islands of japan so again another threatening signal from china to another ally of america so they
00:40:01.060threatened the philippines a treaty ally one of our oldest and we have a mutual defense treaty with
00:40:06.580they're threatening taiwan which is a friend of ours they're threatening uh japan now with these
00:40:11.540incursions uh and then they're also making threatening moves against other part or other
00:40:17.300regional uh nations like india along the border sino indian border and uh they're expanding uh military
00:40:25.780presence in in this in the gulf of thailand with the military naval base in in cambodia at reem
00:40:32.020naval base which now has chinese naval vessels there that you can see on commercial imagery when
00:40:37.700they told us that they were never going to do that so across the board we're seeing an expansion
00:40:42.260of chinese malign influence lastly today north korea announced kim jong-un announced that they're
00:40:48.100cutting all rail and road links with south korea because they say an unstable situation and then
00:40:55.540there was reporting this week that north korea may be in the process of producing their own ballistic
00:41:00.900nuclear ballistic missile submarine so in essence like in the economic sphere that president trump talks
00:41:07.700about in the national security arena in the indo-pacific we are seeing a dramatic degradation of our
00:41:14.740national security and the stability of world peace in this area and while it's not kinetic like it is in
00:41:21.220gaza in in lebanon right now or in the ukraine it's very very close uh the tinderbox is being uh
00:41:29.620prepared by china to light a match either in the south china sea or against taiwan or against japan and
00:41:36.500believe me folks if china decides to act in any one of those three areas the u.s military that's out
00:41:42.980there and for deployed will come under attack uh from china's aggression and so this is why november
00:41:49.060who's fifth is so really important yeah that's uh absolutely it's so important the uh election and
00:41:56.420and the the lead-up to it it shows that the the chinese communist party is looking at this election
00:42:01.940too uh and they're doing the utmost to vote in it uh and their their preferred candidate is quite clear
00:42:08.660and jim i would just underscore the way we started as well which is that the icbm test to the south
00:42:14.820pacific was also a threat it's a message a very important political uh military message to the
00:42:21.380american people uh as you said that there's uh the as with the spy balloon that we witnessed uh of course
00:42:29.700that floated over the united states the biden administration biden harris administration tried
00:42:34.660to avoid right did their utmost uh to uh uh um avoid calling attention to that while it floated over
00:42:43.300american military bases uh and the american people these are powerful messages that the chinese
00:42:49.940communist party is sending uh that their intent is uh to reach out and hurt the american people
00:42:56.900uh and the american people need to recognize that our allies are absolutely essential and partners like
00:43:02.420taiwan as jim said the chip production it's a robust economy but it also occupies key geopolitical real
00:43:09.700estate uh and it's a very important political warfare tool right it's the political warfare
00:43:17.220message which is sent by the existence of a free taiwan is that china can be free it doesn't have to
00:43:24.020have a tyrannical government but indeed can be free and the taiwanese president william lie's great
00:43:30.580statement that uh the republic of china that is taiwan is far older uh than the people's republic of china
00:43:38.020uh led by the chinese communist party so jim what's your assessment in terms of uh what do you
00:43:44.660anticipate uh the um uh prc doing the sable rattling and this hyper aggression is certainly going to
00:43:51.780continue would you not expect uh in the uh weeks up to november 5th uh yes brad the pressure is going
00:43:59.860to continue china is not taking a a kind of a we'll just be quiet and wait and see what happens they're
00:44:05.620being very aggressive across the board in fact in today's global times they talked about the
00:44:10.660importance of taiwan as their their sacred territory which is something that you know finds a bit unusual
00:44:16.900for a uh a communist that doesn't believe in religion to talk in those terms so i think what
00:44:22.980we're going to see is increased pressure to demonstrate that china is in control uh and they
00:44:29.060will continue to achieve their goals which is domination of the of the region acquisition of territory that they
00:44:35.860assesses theirs incorrectly and then i think also uh they're using this to influence the election
00:44:42.740and to make the statement that no matter who's elected they're going to move forward unfortunately
00:44:48.100this administration has returned as you and i labeled it to this posture of neo engagement and we've seen
00:44:55.140the the conga line of uh senior cabinet level officials and the president of the united states uh you know
00:45:01.540seeking to meet with china because somehow they think that's going to make things better better this
00:45:06.100deal with diego garcia the deal with diego garcia go ahead brad yeah indeed and the mill-to-mill
00:45:14.660relationship right that they um uh the uh the biden administration was so anxious biden harris was so
00:45:20.340anxious to return to that uh jim indeed uh uh well thank you very much indeed for offering your
00:45:26.100assessments uh i know you don't use social media uh but uh folks are uh able to get our writings at
00:45:32.660american greatness uh and uh elsewhere where we post uh for example at brad theron x or bradley
00:45:39.540there at getter and uh truth jim thanks so much for joining us uh this afternoon
00:45:48.820chris hoar uh my goodness um uh folks need satellite phones do they not with uh hurricane helene uh and
00:45:58.260its devastation uh in those seven states and then of course uh uh hurricane milton uh hitting today and
00:46:06.500and this evening uh into tomorrow uh and the aftermath really shows the importance of being
00:46:12.580able to communicate and the satellite phone is one of the best ways to do that sergio thanks very much
00:46:18.500for joining us yeah no thanks for having me on brad yeah look we saw absolute devastation obviously uh
00:46:24.740from helene that took out not only the cell phone towers but the power grid uh and there are many parts
00:46:30.580of uh the southern states there that have no time frame for getting all these services back online
00:46:36.180still so look i mean satellite phones work when cell towers go down and when cell phones do not work
00:46:42.100satellite phones continue to to operate uh regardless of where you are because they don't rely on any
00:46:47.940ground-based infrastructure brad so having a satellite phone is a life-saving device this is a life-saving
00:46:54.580device and if you have one and you need one we still have free satellite phones with activation
00:47:00.980that we can ship out and deliver as soon as today we've been doing this for 20 years and we have
00:47:07.380phones and other equipment in place on the east coast for immediate delivery so people can call us
00:47:12.980at 941-841-0844 or they can go to sat123.com and see our selection of phones but again we still have
00:47:22.980them free with activation activation is just uh 95 bucks a month you get 150 minutes per month included
00:47:29.860with that brad and those minutes roll over if you don't use them uh but again these devices will
00:47:35.540continue to operate through before through during and after the this uh storm that we're expecting
00:47:41.460tonight and this is why they are the choice of the u.s military they're the choice of femur and the first
00:47:47.380responders because these guys know when you go into a devastated area you're not going to have any kind
00:47:52.980of internet or cell phone communications available to you so having a satellite phone is a life-saving
00:48:00.420device and this is what the again the u.s military has been using for the last 30 years and this will
00:48:06.420be we've been selling for the last 20 years brad so we know what we're doing we also have portable solar
00:48:13.380power generators that can power anything from your laptop or tablet device all the way up to your entire
00:48:20.660house so if you're without power we can get you a device as soon as today or tomorrow that will turn

00:48:44.100those people who need this life-saving equipment brad well chris and and it's sad to say that hurricane
00:48:51.460season is not yet over uh and so uh with helene and then milton of course uh two devastating uh hurricanes
00:49:00.180absolutely devastating hurricanes but there may yet be additional hurricanes uh yet uh to come uh so uh the uh
00:49:09.300folks who are affected by helene are affected by milton um and may want to consider of course uh
00:49:14.980that we're not out of the woods with respect to the hurricane season is that right chris yeah
00:49:19.780absolutely unfortunately this may not be the last of it what we're seeing with milton so you know these
00:49:25.220phones also uh they only make a hundred thousand of these a year or so uh and so unlike cell phones
00:49:32.180where they're churning out millions a month satellite phones are are made very differently in much smaller
00:49:37.060quantity so when they're gone for the year they're gone and we are certainly running low we've been
00:49:41.700extremely busy um you know for since uh helene hit and uh we are you know getting much lower on
00:49:48.980inventory so uh give us a call or check out sat123.com well thank you very much chris for that uh and um

00:52:09.220accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed through the patriot act
00:52:14.340this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans by monitoring our phone and email and
00:52:20.020tracking our movement across the internet now jim records editor of the independent financial
00:52:25.620newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling author is warning about a coming
00:52:31.220event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level in fact some of the guests

00:52:43.060move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the wrong causes buy firearms or even vote maga

00:52:57.140but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately jim rickerts an american patriot and friend of mine has
00:53:03.220made it his mission to educate us on what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the
