00:01:26.000She's an author of a very, very important book, Mao's America, A Survivor's Warning by Zhi Van Fleet.
00:01:34.000She was born in China, lived through the Cultural Revolution.
00:01:39.000was sent to work in the countryside at the age of 16.
00:01:42.000And after Mao's death, she was able to go to college to study English and has lived in the United States since 1986, and offers a warning to Americans that now she is living through her second cultural revolution in her life.
00:01:56.000She's a patriot, a lover of liberty, and anyone who listens will be enlightened by her.
00:03:00.000He sent all of us, all of the urban youth to the countryside, the so-called countryside, the school blocks, really to send us to work in the fields to get our re-education, a term that Americans are starting to learn about.
00:03:15.000And so I worked there for three years before I could go to college.
00:03:57.000Yeah, later on we need to talk about his first revolution, but the second revolution is the cultural revolution.
00:04:04.000And as a young kid, and people older than I was back then, the only thing they knew was the indoctrination they received from the government schools.
00:04:17.000So what Mao did, Mao said to the young people that their group of Capitalist rotors.
00:04:25.000What that means is those people who want to take us back to capitalism and to let us suffer one more time.
00:04:55.000Like, you know, we don't want to go back, like Kamala Harris said.
00:05:02.000Yeah, so we joined his revolution, not me, I was too young.
00:05:06.000But the young people, what they did is they took those people in power down and then destroyed the whole Chinese civilization called Four Olds.
00:05:19.000Old ideas, old tradition, old habits, and old customs.
00:06:02.000In the West, it seems as if there is this failure to understand communism and the nature of communism.
00:06:09.000What does the West not understand about communism, and Maoism in particular, that you write about in your book and that you know?
00:06:17.000What is it about the nature of communism that you wish all Westerners knew?
00:06:22.000Yeah, I think I want to go back a little further, go back to the 40s.
00:06:27.000And that was the time that the communists Party was expanding.
00:06:33.000And while they were able to be successful and had hundreds of millions of peasants follow them, join their revolution, put them in power, one word, equity.
00:06:45.000And their slogan, this one slogan put them in power, strike down the landowners and divide their land.
00:07:28.000Both of them joined the revolution when they were very young.
00:07:31.000And my father, and from a well-to-do family, abandoned his family, went to Beijing to study Russian, because he wanted to be a revolutionary.
00:07:40.000What made them join, draw to the communism?
00:09:44.000She's trying to warn those of us that love America of exactly how a country and a civilization can be destroyed.
00:09:51.000We are living through a resurgence of Maoism that could be called Kamalaism, and we're going to connect it with Kamala Harris later in the hour.
00:09:59.000It's communism Kamalaism because we're doing ourselves a disservice if we just talk about the ideas.
00:10:05.000Because this is now trying to be implemented right now in front of us.
00:10:10.000By the way, just so we're clear, Tim Walz has also visited China many, many times.
00:10:15.000We will discuss that with Xi Van Fleet, author of Mao's America.
00:10:22.000If you're looking for a reliable and clear way to have voice and text communication to any number from anywhere in the world, you need a satellite phone, and no one does it better than the Satellite Phone Store.
00:10:39.000There is no tracking, no one can listen in on your phone calls, and the most secure way to communicate is from satellite phone to satellite phone.
00:10:46.000Even the US military uses satellite phones, and you'll never get an advertisement from any other company because everything you do with a satellite phone will be 100% private.
00:10:55.000In America this year, only 5% of the island and Maui burned, but 95% of the island lost its power and cell service.
00:11:01.000Even the 911 emergency service was down because they had no access to satellite communication backup.
00:11:30.000Zhi, what inspired this dialogue here this hour was a conversation I had with a young man on the campus of Arizona State University that has been seen millions of times.
00:11:41.000I know you're nodding your head in agreement.
00:11:43.000I want to play this for the audience and then I want you to dive into detail here.
00:11:49.000And he can't vote, but he wishes he could vote.
00:11:51.000And his message is a warning, just like you.
00:11:54.000And it's as if you guys are saying the exact same thing, trying to warn Westerners, warn Americans, hey, if you vote for Kamala, you're inviting the demon of communism into your country.
00:12:06.000This is Jeff at Arizona State University, one of thousands of young people that attended our Turning Point Action successful voter registration drive.
00:12:14.000Also, take a look at all those MAGA hats in this video.
00:14:03.000And because of their decision, hundreds of millions of Chinese were enslaved.
00:14:11.000And we are at that point, we are making a decision, not just for ourselves, but for our children and our children's children, and not just for America, for the entire world.
00:14:23.000If America is down, there is no hope for the world.
00:14:34.000So, Xi, what, when you listen to Kamala Harris, what does she say that all of a sudden your memory gets triggered and you say, I know that.
00:17:05.000They know that 90% of permanent change comes from the mind, and they work on eliminating the reason you gained this weight in the first place.
00:17:10.000There's no shortcuts, pills, or injections, just solid science-based nutrition and behavior change.
00:17:15.000And finally, and probably most importantly, I lost 30 pounds.
00:18:32.000So when Mao had the first revolution, he used armed forces to overthrow a government, which is the Nationalist government.
00:18:41.000They drove them out of China to Taiwan.
00:18:44.000And the second revolution he launched was the Cultural Revolution.
00:18:49.000This revolution, he also wanted to overthrow a government, only that this is his own government.
00:18:56.000He wanted to overthrow his own party, his own government, his own institution, to replace with people he trusts, because he thought he was losing influence.
00:19:05.000But this time, he had a better It's not the military, it is the young people.
00:19:12.000The young people that he was able to indoctrinate in the past 17 years, they have no way of thinking critically, and the only thing they learned is to follow order, follow the order of their great leader.
00:19:29.000When Mao claimed to them that, you are my Red Guards, I'm your commander, Red Commander-in-Chief, They just cheered.
00:19:41.000Whatever they could do, they could do whatever because Mao defunded, not defunded, destroyed the criminal justice system and really dissolved police.
00:19:54.000So the Red Guards were out there, they could do anything.
00:19:58.000And they started with destruction, started with destroying the statues, changing names of the streets, institutions and whatever.
00:20:07.000And they eventually went on and killed people they consider, well Mao told them, the enemy of the people.
00:20:16.000So during the Cultural Revolution, Cultural Revolution started in May 1966.
00:20:22.000Only three months into it, the first killing took place.
00:22:34.000When you know the history of the horrors of communism, it is very easy for you to see through the lies.
00:22:42.000But the problem is, there are so many young people who knew nothing about real history.
00:22:48.000Zhi, those of us that are Christians, we believe in the Ten Commandments, the fifth of which, which is the Bridge Commandment, is honor your mother and father so that you may live long in the land of which I, God, have given you.
00:23:00.000When you look back at the Red Guard, would you say that treating parents with honor was a value in Mao's China?
00:23:08.000How were kids taught to treat their parents?
00:23:12.000Well, that is part of the indoctrination.
00:23:16.000Starting from day one, the kids were told they belong to the party.
00:23:20.000I believed that I belong to the party.
00:25:22.000into Red Guards, because he wanted to be a revolutionary.
00:25:25.000So he heard his mother complaining about the Cultural Revolution at home.
00:25:30.000So he reported to the party, and two months later, his mother was executed.
00:25:36.000And also, this is not an isolated incident.
00:25:40.000There's a lot of party members who were purged, and their children joined the Red Guards to denounce their parents.
00:25:49.000And that happened to the highest Ranking of the CCP members.
00:25:54.000The breakdown of the nuclear family is one of the most destructive, disastrous developments in the West.
00:26:02.000Because when the family is destroyed, then government grows.
00:26:06.000Secondly to that, it is the breakdown of religion.
00:26:09.000Now, in Mao's China, it was not a Christian society, but there was Confucianism, and there still is.
00:26:17.000In the Mao's cultural revolution, was there a push to try and de-religialize, if that's a term, or secularize China, take people away from a belief in God?
00:26:30.000Said differently, was Mao's China an atheistic experiment?
00:26:36.000And it started not in the Cultural Revolution, it started from day one, and especially after they took power.
00:26:42.000And monasteries were destroyed, churches were torn down, and whatever left is, whatever church left, that is a communist church, because everything was under control of the communists.
00:26:54.000If there are any Buddhist monasteries left, it is communist Buddhist monastery because everything was controlled by the party.
00:27:04.000Even today, there are some churches still there.
00:27:07.000You can go in and you will often find that next to the cross is the portrait of Chairman Mao and Chairman Xi Jinping.
00:27:16.000And because they still want to keep the facade that there's a religion.
00:28:13.000And the title is Mouth America, a Survivor's Warning.
00:28:18.000And my story is that I went to school board in 2021 to just make a comment on the CRA they're pushing in school after That my video went viral and you played that.
00:28:49.000I said, I gotta write a book and tell the stories.
00:28:52.000And this book is all about the parallels, about the true cultural revolution that I lived through and I'm living through with the rest of the American people.
00:29:03.000And so when you see this, you say, oh, work is nothing new.

00:30:20.000G, I want you to listen to Cut 5 and tell me if this is communism.
00:32:11.000Do you know who was the biggest victim in the Cultural Revolution?
00:32:16.000It is the number two CCP figure, the president of China, Liu Shaoqi.
00:32:23.000He was purged and persecuted to death.
00:32:27.000And Mao seemed to be the only winner, but as soon as he died, his widow, She was sentenced to death and had a show trial and sentenced to death, and she committed suicide in prison.
00:32:44.000There is no winner, not just the people who follow them, but the ranking members of the party.
00:35:01.000I hope everybody buys your book and listens to you carefully and subscribes to our podcast and texts this conversation to swing voters and Kamala voters.
