Pro-democracy protesters in China are spreading across the globe, and the Chinese government is getting ready to crack down on them. What does the White House have to say about it? And what does it mean for the rest of the world?
00:00:00.000The white paper protests spread worldwide as the CCP's crackdown is imminent.
00:00:05.740We're going to get into all of that, plus everything that's going on, the two front war that Apple is facing between the people of China and Elon Musk in the United States, plus Balenciaga.
00:00:16.960Yeah, we're going to get into Balenciaga.
00:00:19.180But I must remind you that you have to secure your tickets.
00:00:34.480It's called AmericaFest, AmFest.com, December 17th to the 20th, Phoenix, Arizona.
00:00:39.620Myself, Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, and the great Tim Poole himself, we are coming together for a meeting of the minds, and your attendance is requested.
00:00:59.420I was hoping, what is the White House's message, the President's message to people in China who are peacefully protesting COVID lockdowns there?
00:01:12.420And then did the topic of China's zero COVID policy come up in the President's bilateral meeting with President Xi when they met in Indonesia a couple weeks ago?
00:01:21.300They did talk about COVID and the effect that the pandemic had had around the world.
00:01:25.540Clearly, that came up inside the conversation.
00:01:29.460I don't know if specifically the zero COVID policy was an issue of discussion, but certainly COVID was on the agenda, as you might expect that it would be.
00:01:38.640And our message to peaceful protesters around the world is the same and consistent.
00:01:46.040People should be allowed the right to assemble and to peacefully protest policies or laws or dictates that they take issue with.
00:01:54.620Does the White House support their effort to sort of regain personal freedoms in light of these lockdowns?
00:02:00.920The White House supports the right of peaceful protest.
00:02:03.640Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition of Human Events Daily, powered by Turning Point USA.
00:02:19.480Today is November 29th, 2022, Anno Domine.
00:02:23.460Tonight's lead story, of course, for us continues to be the white paper protests that have now spread, not just throughout China, but also the rest of the world is starting to see this because overseas Chinese citizens, students, people who are studying abroad in places as far as NYU, Columbia, Toronto, Tokyo, London, Berkeley.
00:02:51.920Even Berkeley, they're rising up to protest against the CCP with the full knowledge that their families are still back home.
00:03:00.840Full knowledge of what could happen to them.
00:03:06.720The protests are spreading and the president is drooling.
00:03:11.060So to take a look at this, I want to bring on Libby Emmons, who the post-millennial, your work over there, you've been tracking how this protest, how it started in China.
00:03:22.820It's now spreading across the entire world.
00:03:25.920We went in and did a full special episode on all of this yesterday to just explain the entire genesis of this, how it got to this point, how the issues with the CCP have brought them to this point.
00:03:37.340And the biggest thing for me, Libby, that I've got to point out is, yes, they're protesting the crackdowns when it comes to the COVID lockdowns, when it comes to the Xinjiang massacre.
00:03:47.700And that's what it was, a massacre in Xinjiang, this apartment building, the high rise, those horrific and tragic videos that we've seen.
00:03:54.480They're not just calling for an end to the to the measures.
00:03:57.340They're calling for an end to the CCP.
00:04:01.460Yeah, I think that your coverage of this has been exceptional.
00:04:04.160I loved the pod yesterday that you did about this.
00:04:07.340And just watching these people fight for their freedom is inspiring.
00:04:11.960And also, it's devastating to see how little attention the West, particularly the Biden administration, is paying for this.
00:04:18.280We saw John Kirby come out yesterday speaking to reporters from the White House, saying that the protesters are speaking for themselves, saying that they encourage peaceful protests.
00:04:28.540And as we were just looking at the footage that you played, these are not peaceful protests because the police are cracking down on these protesters.
00:04:36.180The protesters are standing out there.
00:04:37.900They have their white pieces of paper.
00:04:41.320They are denouncing the treatment they are receiving.
00:04:42.940And they are getting absolutely no support from the West, very similarly to what we saw in Hong Kong, when the West just let the pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong get squashed by the CCP.
00:04:56.920Right. And it was the outbreak of covid and the covid lockdown measures which were used then to be able to crack down on those protests the same way that even in Biden statements.
00:05:06.400Now, the White House, the statement that came out over the weekend that said, well, we're not necessarily criticizing covid policies because they're very they're caught in a trap.
00:05:15.920Right, Libby, because they can't criticize lockdown measures because they've supported them in the United States.
00:05:21.300They still have covid mandates over the military and much of the federal workforce.
00:05:25.880Some states still have lockdown policies.
00:05:28.340And then around the world, you have the truckers in Canada, you have the farmers in the Netherlands that they're still going after to this day, by the way.
00:05:36.400And they're actually caught between a rock and a hard place, because as we outlined yesterday, this is a merger.
00:05:42.760This is a partnership between the CCP and Western elites, the Western financial markets markets.
00:05:48.560And by the way, Rishi Sunak over there is in the UK saying, oh, well, the golden era of our relations is over.
00:05:57.100Do you really think that that this means that this is a lover squabble?
00:06:01.120What that is, that's a lover squabble between elites because the British elite,
00:06:05.660they want the West to be the ones who are in charge of the global financial and technological empire that they've constructed called globalism.
00:06:15.960They want to be in charge of the relationship.
00:06:30.400His whole concept of the central digital currency that could be used to track people and limit their purchases here and there and control what people do.
00:06:38.640So it's not like his ideas are spectacularly different from what we're seeing in the CCP.
00:06:45.260They just come straight out and do it because they don't have to worry about squashing liberties because they've already stolen the freedoms of all of their citizens.
00:06:52.480So it's not particularly a big deal for them.
00:06:55.500What does it mean that the students are protesting across, and final minute, but just across, even NYU and Columbia, you're in New York.
00:07:11.260I was very happy to see the kids getting out there and taking off their masks and putting them on this statue and speaking up for the Chinese people.
00:07:51.740Prayers up, absolutely, for the Lao Baixing, the people of China.
00:07:56.100And turning back to the United States, though, in this fight for freedom, I have to say it's hard to grasp why anybody would keep voting for record inflation, skyrocketing crime, an open border.
00:08:05.880Likewise, why would anyone keep funding the left by sticking with the big carriers?
00:08:11.280I mean that Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative wireless provider, and they want to make it easy for you to try their service.
00:08:19.560Give them 60 days to show you why I trust them.
00:08:22.380Right now, when you try Patriot Mobile for two months, you get your third month free, plus free activation.
00:08:27.600They offer nationwide coverage on the best 4G and 5G networks and use the same towers as all three of the major carriers.
00:08:33.880So, you get the same great service while supporting a company that's fighting to preserve our God-given rights and freedoms.
00:08:39.720Just go to PatriotMobile.com slash POSO or call their 100% U.S.-based customer service team.
00:08:45.860If you are fed up with woke companies that do not care about your values, support a company that does.
00:08:51.460Make the switch today and get a free month of service plus free activation.
00:08:55.560Libby Emmons is thinking about doing it, and you should, too.
00:09:03.880There's reports that Apple is not allowing the protesters to use this airdrop function where they're trying to communicate.
00:09:13.620That obviously is providing aid and comfort to the CCP.
00:09:17.940And so you see that report, and that's very concerning.
00:09:20.740And then when you also hear reports that Apple is threatening to remove Twitter from the App Store because Elon Musk is actually opening it up for free speech and is restoring a lot of accounts that were unfairly and illegitimately suspended for putting out accurate information about COVID.
00:09:44.520That's like one of the main things that's being reinstated.
00:09:48.260So many things these experts were wrong at, and you had people on Twitter that were calling that out.
00:09:53.320And Twitter, the old regime and Twitter, their response was to try to just suffocate the dissent.
00:10:00.060Governor DeSantis there with a massive statement, slamming the CCP, calling Apple a vassal of the CCP, directly targeting the American business relationship between American and Western financial powers and the CCP.
00:10:18.620And this is what I've been talking about all week at this point.
00:10:21.040I've been talking about it for a year.
00:10:25.860This is what President Trump, when he was running the first time, this was the he was the first person to ever bring this up.
00:10:33.280This sort of third rail, this topic you're not supposed to talk about, the fact that everybody's making money hand over fist on the backs of Chinese slave labor.
00:10:42.760You're seeing a slave revolt, a slave uprising throughout China right now.
00:10:47.620And at the same time, Apple is declaring war on Elon Musk.
00:10:52.880And so this is interesting because Apple is declaring war on Elon Musk over Twitter and the right to freedom of speech.
00:10:59.500The Chinese people are rising up against the CCP, but CCP is in bed with Apple.
00:11:06.180Apple is the canary in the CCP's coal mine.
00:11:10.400They are the ones that are closest to the source of the problem.
00:11:14.840And they are the ones that we need to squeeze.
00:11:17.900Apple, by the way, was forced to sign forced by the CCP to sign a two hundred seventy five billion dollar investment deal.
00:11:27.380They demand, by the way, that's money that's going from Apple to China for, by the way, the privilege of being able to use Chinese slave labor, that they would invest three hundred billion dollars basically into China.
00:11:40.940Back in 2016, Tim Cook tried to do everything he could to keep this a secret.
00:11:44.420He did not want people to know that he was signing secret deals with the CCP.
00:11:48.400But at the same time, I got to say, you know what?
00:11:50.640Why don't we treat businesses like that?
00:11:52.400Why don't we why don't we have leaders that stand up for our country like that?
00:11:57.560He's one of the only ones I've ever seen in my entire life that we treat our country with dignity and that these companies are subservient to our sovereignty, not the other way around.
00:12:09.180But Libby Emmons, I want to get your take on this, because it's it's incredible to see this two front challenge that the CCP and Apple find themselves in.
00:12:18.780But I also want to note, and I've said this before so many times, I'm not an Elon Musk fanboy.
00:12:24.920I'm willing to criticize him when he does things I don't think are great.
00:12:27.740He hasn't said a word about the protests himself, Ron DeSantis just did, the governor of Florida, but also DeSantis goes in and threads the needle of airdrop being shut down for the protesters, freedom of speech being denied by Apple inside of China.
00:12:44.560Elon Musk obviously could have said this, but he hasn't.
00:12:49.080Yeah, well, Elon Musk has an awful lot of manufacturing, I think, over in China.
00:12:54.860He probably doesn't want to disrupt that or disrupt his other businesses that he depends on, you know, Chinese labor and Chinese largesse to get that done.
00:13:05.180But, yeah, I thought it was pretty interesting to hear what Ron DeSantis had to say about the airdrop feature.
00:13:11.600And this isn't the first time that big tech companies have kowtowed to the CCP and essentially done the CCP's bidding with their own products.
00:13:21.560We also saw recently that the Foxconn factory in China was one of the places that these protests really began.
00:13:29.740There were protests there over, I think, working conditions and wages and other things like that.
00:13:35.580And the government swooped in and imposed lockdown measures on the Foxconn facility.
00:14:07.060So, you know, you have to have all this crackdown from and this this is China's essential bottleneck.
00:14:13.860But it's not just financial, but this is the problem where the covid policies fly in the face of China as the export, the slave labor export center, manufacturing center for globalism.
00:14:23.440That if they don't have their exports going, if the workers aren't on the assembly lines, then guess what?
00:14:29.120Globalism crashes because all of a sudden you're losing access to the place that you put all your chips into.
00:14:34.900Look, I remember made in the USA when I was a kid.
00:15:28.220And I think it's also important to remember that when you look back at our Revolutionary War days and you had the women of New England and of the colonies, they were used to buying goods from Britain and they stopped doing that.
00:15:40.780They stopped buying goods from Britain.
00:15:46.020They started making their own clothes, weaving their own fabrics and all of this kind of stuff.
00:15:50.800And I think, you know, we have to get back to something like that where we believe in our own ingenuity and our own ability to make what we need.
00:16:09.980But but speaking of products that are made in America, it just so happens that we have a new way to help you out with that, because a lot of people are complaining about the state of our country.
00:16:20.800The way these woke companies treat their employees.
00:16:23.620But it's not enough to complain because we have to change the marketplace.
00:16:26.180What Libby Emmons and I are talking about is a parallel economy and where we spend our money.
00:16:31.140So in less than one year, Public Square, I've been telling you about them.
00:16:34.600They've grown to be the largest platform of patriotic, freedom loving businesses the world has ever seen.
00:16:39.800Whether you want to support a restaurant that only buys from local farms, a coffee shop that took a stand against COVID mandates or a bank that would never cancel you for your political views, Public Square is your guide.
00:16:49.980There's also an interactive, sensor free community groups where you can connect with other local members.
00:22:35.460You could just see the title of the book.
00:22:36.900But it was a book about an artist who had created images of castrated toddlers, which honestly is horrifying to me personally and not particularly artistic, but really just sadistic, in fact.
00:22:54.800And now there's been pressure on some of these Hollywood people to denounce them.
00:22:58.700Kim Kardashian came out with an incredibly weak statement about this.
00:23:02.420You know, I did see this, the Kardashian, I mean, Kim Kardashian, it's like it's like, oh, I'm so sorry.
00:23:07.600But also, you know, I'm not going to stop working with Balenciaga and I'm going to continue the campaign because they pull up dump trucks full of money to my house every week.
00:23:17.660And, you know, we're going to keep working with them as opposed to how dare you do this?
00:23:29.420We're coming up on just one minute left.
00:23:31.820But, Libby, where can people go to learn more about this saga?
00:23:34.900What's the Postmillennial doing in terms of reporting on it?
00:23:37.920The Postmillennial was reporting on it today.
00:23:40.380One of the creative directors of the company, actually an award that he was going to receive has been rescinded by the Business of Fashion Association.
00:24:01.260The Postmillennial has done some reporting on this.
00:24:03.320Redux has been doing great reporting on this.
00:24:05.780They're the first place that I saw this story a couple of whenever it was early.
00:24:09.920And do you are we really supposed to believe, by the way, that I mean, when you're running a campaign like this with that much money behind it, are we really supposed to believe that this just accidentally slipped through with the amount of people and lawyers and approvers?
