The Great America Show - CHINA WORST POLLUTER： GLOBALIZATION IS MOST DESTRUCTIVE SYSTEM ON OUR PLANET

00:00:00.000 Hello, everybody. Welcome to the Great America Show. Glad to have you with us all together as we fight for the American way to preserve and protect it and our great constitutional republic.

00:00:12.520 We've got a lot of work ahead of us. That's all right, because we're already seeing signs our efforts are paying off.

00:00:19.040 Take the New York Times, for example. The New York Times, with an article this week alerting the Marxist left Dems, the entire Democratic Party, that is, that there's a Republican effort afoot to actually demonstrate how the 2020 election was rigged and how to fix the electoral system before this November's midterm elections.

00:00:40.020 And yes, some believe that 2020 votes could still be decertified. Even fewer believe if some votes could be decertified, that President Trump could be reinstated as the rightful winner of the 2020 election.

00:00:55.720 That does not seem to be a proximate reality.

00:00:59.300 While most of the article rants about decertification efforts and implausibility, the subtext of it all seems to acknowledge the Dems' discomfort with Trump supporters and Trump supporter efforts to fix the election that was obviously rigged, if not in all cases illegal.

00:01:17.480 That discomfort seems less driven, though, by decertification efforts than the fact Republican energy is building at our local and state level all across the country.

00:01:29.680 And heightened Republican participation in local politics and elections to assure electoral integrity, well, that's upsetting Dems because it would doom any attempted repeat of the 2020 Dems strategy this year.

00:01:46.460 That obviously is deeply concerning and upsetting to the left.

00:01:51.920 That's a good sign, folks.

00:01:53.960 And I hope you, your family and friends and neighbors are all planning to be full participants and volunteers in your local elections this November.

00:02:03.460 We have to win this one, folks.

00:02:05.900 And big issues all around us, of course, and more building the Russian war against Ukraine, the threatened Chinese war on Taiwan,

00:02:14.200 hyperinflation in America, wide open borders with Mexico, to name but a few of the issues, and all of those issues and more do affect America and all of us.

00:02:26.160 Our guest today is Jonathan Bass.

00:02:28.260 He's the CEO of the leading manufacturer of home decor in North America, PTM Images.

00:02:34.820 It's headquartered in Westwood, California, involved in international business, and dealing daily with the big issues of our time.

00:02:43.360 Dependency, wealth transfers, labor, supply chain disruptions, the environment, up close and in person.

00:02:51.440 Jonathan, great to have you back with us on The Great America Show.

00:02:55.380 So let's start with what we're told and what you believe is true.

00:02:59.840 We're told supply chain delays and disruptions are easing, that the computer chip shortage, for example, is improving.

00:03:08.820 But you don't believe that, do you?

00:03:11.360 Not at all.

00:03:12.660 I actually think that we're going to see in the next six months a large disruption in supply chain.

00:03:19.160 Right now, with the COVID shutdowns raging throughout China and the lockdowns, that means that people can't go to factories and work and trucks can't cross from one province to the other without permitting.

00:03:32.600 So the issues really are, you know, there's a ton of boats waiting outside the, you know, coast from north to south in China.

00:03:41.140 And all those goods that were supposed to be produced now that should be hitting our markets in six months are going to be delayed.

00:03:48.440 Now, they are saying the trade has been surging between China and Russia.

00:03:52.840 And it's true.

00:03:54.060 The trade is surging between China and Russia because all the goods that were supposed to hit pre-Christmas that were paid for and sitting at ports hit in February, March, and April.

00:04:05.900 And so our warehouses are stocked with goods, but they're all goods that were supposed to be here for our Christmas season.

00:04:13.160 So it's going to be interesting what six months from now is going to look like.

00:04:16.860 They said that the L.A. ports have started to get some relief.

00:04:20.840 Well, there's relief because there's no ships coming into port.

00:04:23.840 So they have still 60 to 80 boats outside 150 miles.

00:04:28.700 And then they have about 20 on the last count in, you know, just circling around port.

00:04:34.220 Wow.

00:04:35.500 And we're also talking about very little that's being actually exported to China in the way of value-added goods, that is, finished goods.

00:04:49.160 We are seeing huge supplies of basic commodities, which is popular for third-world country exports,

00:04:57.760 but that doesn't make sense for the most developed economy on Earth to be the net exporter on the basis of commodities, for crying out loud.

00:05:07.460 Does it?

00:05:08.620 No.

00:05:09.160 And, Lou, this whole issue of commodities and supply chain of raw materials into China, whether it's cotton,

00:05:17.680 cotton is, you know, one of the most destructive plants in farming.

00:05:23.800 It takes a lot of water, it takes a lot of environmental impact, and it produces an export crop that's then used to make thread

00:05:31.700 and go upside up the stream into apparel and, you know, home linens and whatever.

00:05:38.960 And those goods are sent in raw material to have all the value-add in the product added in Asia and then brought back as finished goods.

00:05:49.320 That's the easiest thing for us to onshore.

00:05:53.040 Well, let's talk about a couple of specific products, and one of them is, let's start with Apple.

00:06:08.400 Apple has, as far as I know, the largest labor base in China of any American corporation.

00:06:16.300 It is immensely dependent on products as well as labor in China.

00:06:23.860 And Apple is an amazing company.

00:06:26.780 It is the world's biggest, baddest, most cash-rich, it's got the greatest balance sheet and market share.

00:06:35.040 I happen to know a few people who are just a little worried about Apple because of its dependence still on China.

00:06:42.020 Should they be concerned?

00:06:44.940 Yes.

00:06:45.860 Well, China, Apple has Foxcom doing its dirty work in China.

00:06:53.040 And they are subject, they're a Taiwanese company that is subject to, you know, Chinese regulations and laws.

00:07:03.980 And, you know, a typical factory is probably about 10,000 people in direct employees.

00:07:13.000 But remember, the first employees to jump off of a building, off the dormitories, where they had to install nets in Shenzhen were the Foxcom factories.

00:07:24.980 So the conditions in working in these factories are so horrendous that your only way out is to jump from your bedroom and kill yourself.

00:07:36.440 Labor and corporate America, they've demonstrated time and time again in corporate America that they're willing to labor arbitrage anywhere in the world.

00:07:50.200 They've done it place after place.

00:07:52.280 But in China, and a couple of other countries as well, but in China, we're talking about the Uyghurs, we're talking about labor conditions that are absolutely inhumane.

00:08:03.280 No one is speaking honestly about American corporations who have offshored production, who've outsourced jobs, and who are doing so in support of a totalitarian government that is simply inhumane.

00:08:19.920 You know, globalists were, or internationalists, where they began.

00:08:25.780 I mean, we started with Nixon trying to create bridges with China to checkmate Russia out.

00:08:34.940 And, you know, we look at what our presidents do and their actions, and we say, you know, presidential actions don't really mean much.

00:08:41.680 They have four years, and they're elected another four.

00:08:43.860 But if we look at Nixon's opening with China, the impact was 50 years later that we were squeezed out, and it was Russia and China sitting, Xi and Putin sitting, planning, you know, the takeover of the world 50 years later, and the Americans weren't even at the table.

00:09:01.340 And then you look at 40 years later, and then you look at 40 years ago with Carter, and supporting, you know, the Ayatollah against our friend, the Pahlavis and the Shah, and taking our presence out of Iran, left a vacuum for the Iranian regime to be the most destructive, disruptive entity in the Gulf, which actually has the most power within this.

00:09:28.480 And then you look at Clinton, who came in, what, 25 years ago, put the WTO in place, and put China from an $800 billion economy to the second largest economy in the world.

00:09:42.600 If presidents don't have power, what Biden is doing is going to affect our grandchildren's lives, and we just don't see it yet.

00:09:50.300 So this issue going on right now with trade and our intent of our globalist companies to search out the lowest cost labor or even slave labor at that point is the wrong attitude.

00:10:04.480 We weren't built on capitalism at slave labor.

00:10:10.440 We fought a civil war, losing 650,000 lives in defense of the freedom of labor and fair labor.

00:10:18.480 So, you know, I think we need to look at ourselves and look at is low, you know, saving money and low price the bellwether for what a capitalist society is?

00:10:34.660 Or are we better off looking at America 25 years ago that we were producing the best cars, the best refrigerators, the best washing machines, the best furniture, the best of lighting, the best of everything?

00:10:48.480 And now, by outsourcing everything, we're producing subpar products because we can't pack our cost of labor into items and be competitive on a global basis against slave labor.

00:11:01.840 And don't you love, and I'm going to be, I'm going to resort to the vernacular here today because we're talking about a subject that I feel very strongly about, but don't you love the fact that the jackasses and the commerce, the chamber of commerce, the business round table, we'll talk about the necessity of being competitive around the world.

00:11:22.260 And that to do that, and that to do that, they've got to have a lower tax rate.

00:11:26.220 We hear the same mantra each time they are not competitive.

00:11:31.740 In point of fact, those other countries have always competed with us on cost of labor.

00:11:38.780 And it's never been an important, significant differential.

00:11:45.240 It's always been about quality in this country, the rest of the world, not so much.

00:11:49.740 We have really taken ourselves down a path to hell, it seems to me.

00:11:56.080 If we don't recognize this race to the bottom has got to end now, and we've got to focus on the domestic economy.

00:12:04.680 Yes, let's be world competitive, but let's be honest about what we're doing.

00:12:08.780 I agree with you that the mouthpieces of these institutions like the chamber or the council for foreign policy or whatever are completely off base.

00:12:23.900 I mean, they're tending to appease their donors, right?

00:12:32.620 And their donors' dependency on low cost and even slave labor.

00:12:36.660 And the impact it would have by moving production to the North American hemisphere is death to most of these companies because they're used to 80%, 90% margins.

00:12:48.900 I mean, when you look at our largest retailers out there that are making 70%, 80% margin, they're paying 20%, 20%, 25% for those cost of goods.

00:13:01.680 And it's the American consumer that has had a dependency on low cost.

00:13:06.660 And, you know, corporate America is not in line with the direction of the American people.

00:13:18.080 And, yes, they want to own shares.

00:13:20.140 They want to make money.

00:13:21.680 Profitability is a big issue.

00:13:23.020 Yes, but at the end of the day, we had the strongest, most capable manufacturing and corporate American base, you know, from the 1950s all the way through 1995 before Clinton took us into the WTO.

00:13:41.560 So this dependency on slave labor is only a dependency on increased profitability without hard work.

00:13:49.860 And so long as we allow corporate America to arbitrage labor costs, the penalty will fall squarely on our middle class and those who aspire to it.

00:14:05.560 There's just no other interpretation or analysis that reveals anything remotely approaching the truth if you don't start there.

00:14:14.860 You know, it's interesting because I think what's bothering corporate America right now in this whole situation is how does sustainability, environmental, global warming play into this globalization mission that's gone towards single source supply chain?

00:14:34.400 How does it how does it how does it work when you have 15 of the largest container ships polluting as much as 780 million cars and you have 53,900 cargo ships on the water with an average age of 10 years?

00:14:47.400 How does it work when you have 15 of 10 years?

00:14:48.400 We're heating our waters at four nuclear bombs a day that's melting our icebergs from the bottom, not from the top.

00:14:56.400 They're crashing into the water because the foundation, I call it the Titanic effect and 90% has melted away and the 10% that's above water is crashing into the water because there's no foundation left.

00:15:09.460 And so how does that checkmate corporate America because they're pushing the sustainability environmentalist movement, but yet globalization is the most destructive initiative to our planet?

00:15:22.720 No doubt about it.

00:15:23.720 No doubt about it.

00:15:24.720 And with and you and you never hear about the effect of the cost of the impact of all of those container ships moving goods from China and Southeast Asia to the United States and to Europe.

00:15:39.720 You know what, I have never seen a major splash in the Wall Street Journal to the New York Times, the Washington Post, not one on the environmental impact of globalization.

00:15:53.160 And that really says a lot about the forces at work here, doesn't it?

00:15:59.780 Yeah.

00:15:59.900 And Keith Kroc, who was the undersecretary for the environment at the State Department.

00:16:05.060 You know, I worked with him on writing an environmental piece before he left office and he went on, tried to place this editorial out there.

00:16:14.540 And the only one who would take it was the Jamaica Observer.

00:16:17.100 And it went through the whole impact that China has in plastic waste, ocean waste, the coal fire plants that are, you know, China is building 1,600 coal fire plants in 63 countries with the effect of a coal fire plant lasting over 45 years.

00:16:37.460 You know, they went through all of these issues that are on the horizon with China and their environmental policies and how we're handcuffed and that we Americans are supporting environmental destruction in China without recognizing that the world is one globe and what happens in China actually impacts California.

00:16:59.720 And so I think that we're in a position where, you know, the media doesn't want to go after corporate America because that's who's funding them.

00:17:12.420 Right.

00:17:12.600 And anyone who speaks out against corporate America is shunned.

00:17:17.720 And with the end of the day, supply chain is national security and Americans have never exhibited.

00:17:26.680 I mean, in my lifetime, I'm 59.

00:17:29.320 I never saw empty shelves at a supermarket, which I've been seeing empty shelves all over this country for two years.

00:17:36.820 And I can't believe that people haven't risen up saying, what is going on here?

00:17:42.260 Why are these shelves empty?

00:17:43.620 It's not toilet paper made in Wisconsin.

00:17:46.340 It's toilet paper made in China that people are lining up for.

00:17:50.080 So now we have shoes, we have toilet paper, we have medicine.

00:17:53.260 We have all of our basic needs of raw materials being held in the hand of our largest single enemy.

00:18:01.180 And to listen to the Marxist Democrats, because that's what they are.

00:18:10.160 They're talking about, in every one of their policies, they're aiming at the destruction of the family.

00:18:15.240 They are talking about the dependency enlarged to the entire American society.

00:18:24.120 It is the death of the American dream.

00:18:26.360 It's the death of a republic that is in the offing, unless we do something about the direction in which we're headed.

00:18:35.180 You know, this inflation, I was called on a reporter of the largest business news station in February of 2021.

00:18:47.840 And he asked me, what do I think is, sorry, February of 2020, what is causing inflation?

00:18:55.780 Do I see it?

00:18:56.440 I said, yes.

00:18:57.560 I said, look, Sierra Pacific is the largest landowner in California, and they harvest trees.

00:19:05.520 Their harvesting takes 40 years.

00:19:07.620 They plant trees, and they come back in 40 years, and they cut them.

00:19:10.660 And they replant 40 for every one that they're taking out.

00:19:13.460 I said, there's nothing that's changed in harvesting a tree except one thing.

00:19:20.020 Keystone Pipeline was shut, threatened of cutting off all the drilling, changing from a net exporter of energy to a net importer of energy.

00:19:29.400 And it started to impact our sawmills, our transportation of wood.

00:19:35.040 And everyone's wondering, why has wood gone up by 300%?

00:19:39.720 Wood gone up 300% because of fuel and energy.

00:19:44.020 And so when we're looking at this, until we fix some of these problems, you know, they want to start saying, you know, dog whistling that we have to do business with Venezuela and Iran to fix our inflation issue.

00:19:58.640 So that means that we have to get in bed with our further enemies that want to kill Americans only because we don't want to drill or we want to shut 30% of Louisiana's oil and gas for the progressive left to be able to get up and say, hey, we're making energy progress.

00:20:21.540 Now, I mean, I understand we have a problem, but we have to look at the source of the problem.

00:20:28.160 The source of the problem is globalization.

00:20:30.580 I don't know how in Los Angeles, when we're not allowed to run our electricity to put on our air conditioning from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the summers, how we're going to all come home at 4.30 to 6 and plug in hundreds of thousands of cars into the grid.

00:20:50.080 And it's not going to take down the whole grid when we're not allowed to run our air conditioning.

00:20:54.400 The electrification of transport throughout this country.

00:20:59.620 We intelligent people don't comprehend the magnitude of the ordeal that awaits us.

00:21:07.280 If we were to, for whatever rabid reason, suddenly decide we're going to follow AOC into hell.

00:21:15.840 I mean, this is madness that we're dealing with here.

00:21:20.480 You know, my thought is that we have to look internally first.

00:21:25.320 We have to look at our own table.

00:21:27.020 We have to look at our own home.

00:21:28.780 And we have to fix our own home first.

00:21:31.120 And I think that our political elite have managed to figure out how to manipulate the consumer, the American citizen, in believing that they actually care about all of us.

00:21:45.880 And they actually don't care about all of us.

00:21:47.960 They care about their own pockets.

00:21:49.660 If you look at history, history will always tell us what's coming in the future.

00:21:53.060 And the instance between Stalin and Lenin was a battle of whether centralized government or decentralized government.

00:22:02.660 And America is decentralized, where governors are taking care of the people.

00:22:06.740 And it's usually always governors who come to the support of the people.

00:22:09.860 And now you have, you know, after Clinton and the issues in Russia that we've gone through and where we are with Russia today, where, you know, American corporate America came in and, you know, wanted control of the natural resources from Russia, which is great.

00:22:32.800 And Putin's, I think, discontent with that currently.

00:22:39.460 And Ukraine is, you know, somewhat of an issue that sort of it's the prize that will make Russia a superpower because north of the Ukrainian border is very cold and the temperatures are very harsh.

00:22:56.440 South of the Ukrainian border is the energy belt, the grain belt, the food belt, the production belt.

00:23:05.320 Ukraine's the biggest prize in this whole thing.

00:23:07.880 And had our political elite been aware of what we were doing when we let the Chinese trample through using the Taliban Afghanistan and take control of that, putting Iran in a very strong position in Afghanistan, it made Russia and China awaken that they have a golden opportunity to take more control.

00:23:32.680 So they started with Kazakhstan and taking the president of Kazakhstan, who was pro-West, pro-NATO, pro-American, pro-European, out and replacing them without a word with a pro-Chinese, pro-Russian puppet.

00:23:50.540 They then went after Ukraine.

00:23:52.780 And this is, if anyone doesn't think that this is China and Russia in long, together.

00:24:00.780 It's a question now of where we're headed, because we have a president who is a complete buffoon.

00:24:09.700 He is impaired.

00:24:11.220 He is a Marxist leftist, whether people don't want to describe that label to him and his administration.

00:24:18.020 But if you look at each of their policies, domestic or foreign, it's who they are.

00:24:23.480 And opening our borders to the south, just leaving the country effectively defenseless at the border?

00:24:31.560 The issue we have is that people cannot get visas to come to America.

00:24:36.920 So people who come to this country that spend money in hotels and visit our attractions and fund our tourism are not being allowed visas.

00:24:48.060 My 80-year-old mother-in-law, who lives in France, was told she can't get a visa and come back and apply in 200 days to visit her grandchildren that she hasn't seen in three years.

00:25:02.120 There's a guy in the Philippines that his brother is getting a bone marrow transplant.

00:25:11.400 A friend of mine called me and said, is there any way to get his brother?

00:25:15.240 He's the only match to get a visa because the U.S. Embassy refused him to come in and give a bone marrow transplant to his brother so his brother can survive.

00:25:25.280 He was rejected.

00:25:26.340 We have rejections of people all over the world not getting visas to come visit our country for whatever family, medical, whatever the reasons are.

00:25:38.360 But yet, if you go through the southern border, you can walk across.

00:25:43.080 Now, I actually think that maybe this is being done on the southern border to try to combat labor issues domestically.

00:25:53.720 I was working with a company out of Michigan, and in December, I went up and visited their factory, huge facility, million square feet of factory.

00:26:02.360 They couldn't get labor.

00:26:04.360 I said to the guy, we were making a trip down to go down to Yuma to look at a facility, and he said, well, no, no, we got to cancel it.

00:26:12.140 I'm like, why?

00:26:12.700 He goes, we fixed our labor problem.

00:26:14.180 I said, what did you do?

00:26:15.560 He said, well, we are now hiring Spanish-speaking only people.

00:26:19.160 So maybe this labor that's being moved in is actually being moved in to fill the void of people who won't work in our own factories.

00:26:30.540 But that's short-term gain.

00:26:33.020 We have to get our people to want to go back to work.

00:26:35.640 If we don't get our people to want to go back to work and contribute to our society and build our great nation, we're never going to come out of this.

00:26:43.720 Well, we're never going to come out of it because Biden, the left, the corporate America, Wall Street, they don't want us to come out of it.

00:26:53.960 It's straightforward.

00:26:55.500 They're bringing in these people because they want their votes.

00:26:58.500 They don't want to believe that Wall Street and corporate America would act in utter disregard of the interests of the United States and American citizens.

00:27:06.780 We're a nation of oligarchs, and no one wants to admit it.

00:27:09.720 We exalt billionaires, but we don't pay attention to the fact that they own our media, they own our political parties, and they leave us then with rather shallow choices.

00:27:21.540 And Hobson choices is the result of nearly every general election.

00:27:26.500 It's funny that you say a nation of oligarchs.

00:27:30.860 It's funny that the Russians are getting dumped on that they have oligarchs, but we have preordained oligarchs.

00:27:40.020 If you go back and you look at the Clinton oligarchs, who he took from certain industries, titans that were nothing, and he made them oligarchs.

00:27:52.180 And the oligarchs that control our country are controlling our government, and we're sitting by, and I don't know for how long that's going to last.

00:28:06.280 Because, you know, one thing about the Americans is that we do know what revolution is, and I'm not calling upon it.

00:28:13.300 But if you push everybody to a certain point where they're no longer going to stand by, not to rob you because they're not getting the same amount of checks that they were getting from the government, they don't want to go to work, and they want your watch to sell it on eBay.

00:28:30.060 Not those.

00:28:31.700 But, you know, we need transformation and transformation through elected officials, and we need elected officials that represent the people, not the oligarchs.

00:28:42.100 But money is such a big part of our system to get elected that until we figure out how we can equalize the money issue and the dependency on the money, it's going to be a difficult challenge.

00:28:57.700 I really believe that most Americans right now are not prepared to revolt.

00:29:02.300 They're not prepared to go to the next revolution to throw off the invisible chains and manacles that have been placed on them.

00:29:14.160 They don't even appreciate, in any cases, the fewer job opportunities that are available to them because we have brought in millions, millions of illegal immigrants in the last two years who are taking those jobs,

00:29:30.500 and their children are not going to have those jobs awaiting them.

00:29:33.800 We are creating a monstrous contraption in this economy that will ultimately, I really believe, could spell doom for the American dream itself.

00:29:47.640 We have no countervailing influence to Facebook, to Twitter, to big tech and its ability to shut down an issue.

00:30:00.560 I mean, on October 14th of 2020, the hammer came down from big tech, social media, corporate media, and you couldn't get a story on the laptop, Hunter Biden's laptop,

00:30:12.860 and the lives of 51 of our intelligence community veterans and five former CIA directors because they were covering for Joe Biden.

00:30:24.200 They stole an election, they stole much of Trump's presidency, and you can't even get the corporate media to talk about it.

00:30:35.180 We heard, and I still don't know why, but the New York Times and the Washington Post finally acknowledged it was all real.

00:30:41.880 And then they submerged again into their corporate cloister.

00:30:51.040 It's disgusting, and I am truly frightened for the first time in my life.

00:30:56.420 I am frightened of the prospects for this country.

00:31:00.260 I agree with you.

00:31:01.920 And I, you know, I got a call three hours before Russia attacked the nuclear station in Ukraine,

00:31:13.040 and a friend of mine said, hey, go and have, I was in Mexico City, he said, go and buy iodine.

00:31:19.120 I'm like, you're kidding, right?

00:31:21.800 He goes, no, no, I'm telling you, go buy iodine.

00:31:24.680 So I called my kid, said, go buy iodine.

00:31:27.920 Then he called me three years later, he goes, did you see what happened?

00:31:30.560 I said, yeah.

00:31:31.040 He goes, okay, now go buy six months of canned food.

00:31:34.800 I was like, you're kidding.

00:31:36.220 He's like, no.

00:31:36.860 And, you know, my wife went and she bought, you know, a little bit more canned food, but

00:31:45.380 not six months of canned food.

00:31:47.240 But the supply chain in food, unless we start paying our farmers to plant rather than paying

00:31:54.140 them to not plant, unless we go in there and start producing food, not for export, not cash

00:32:01.760 crops for export, but crops for internal consumption, we may find ourselves without food.

00:32:10.740 And fertilizer prices are through the roof.

00:32:14.400 But that's a function, too, of let's take Algeria and Morocco.

00:32:19.180 Algeria now is the number three recipient of Chinese military hardware in the world.

00:32:27.400 And it's there to battle Morocco in the south.

00:32:31.240 Now you have Biden, who says he doesn't want to recognize the southern Sahara for Morocco

00:32:36.000 that Trump recognized, mainly because it was a Trump thing.

00:32:39.960 But the 75% of the world's reserve of phosphate is sitting in southern Morocco, in sub-Saharan

00:32:48.780 the south of Morocco.

00:32:51.340 Now the Chinese were able to utilize the UN to get blue hats, peacekeeping forces in quotations,

00:33:00.660 armed peacekeeping forces, Chinese armed peacekeeping forces into Morocco.

00:33:06.640 Now we're looking at a fight that the Chinese want over fertilizer.

00:33:13.960 March 6, Xi Jinping said in his conference that food supply has the world cannot rely on markets

00:33:24.720 for food security, that China needs to rely on themselves for food security.

00:33:28.740 So they're going for the urea.

00:33:30.400 They're going for the phosphates.

00:33:33.100 They're going for every which way to corner America out of the fertilizer business.

00:33:38.800 But you know, those screaming people we heard in Shanghai,

00:33:43.420 earling that they were hungry and needed medication,

00:33:46.760 one day that will be America.

00:33:49.420 Because our political elite is making very bad moves that five years from now will result

00:33:58.360 in massive shortages of food supply.

00:34:00.960 Unless we invest in food supply and protect our friends.

00:34:06.320 Morocco was the first country to recognize America as a nation.

00:34:11.740 And we are going at them.

00:34:13.320 And they are the security of food supply for the world.

00:34:17.280 And we're going to hand it over to the Chinese?

00:34:19.880 Yeah.

00:34:20.940 Well, we've handed over rare earths, as you know, in Afghanistan to the Chinese.

00:34:25.960 We have permitted the Chinese to ship the world a deadly virus, the COVID virus,

00:34:34.040 that killed a million Americans and is still with us.

00:34:38.760 But it is ebbing and, you know, thank the Lord.

00:34:43.260 But we have done nothing.

00:34:45.860 Meanwhile, we've been circumvented at every turn.

00:34:49.900 Our foreign policy is madness.

00:34:51.980 And our domestic financial and Wall Street policies are, it's unbelievable.

00:34:57.800 We have the most secure capital markets in the world, as you know, Jonathan.

00:35:01.980 And what are the major firms on Wall Street doing?

00:35:05.420 They're trying to invest the capital of as many Americans as they can in China, for crying out loud.

00:35:13.560 And in Southeast Asia, instead of here.

00:35:16.460 And that is madness.

00:35:18.560 And we are on our way to perdition if we don't wake up to what is happening without controls,

00:35:25.960 without an engaged government, without a knowledgeable electorate.

00:35:29.760 It's insane, because if you look at every time I sit down with a corporate CEO and I discuss China,

00:35:39.540 they're like, well, they're our number one national debt holder, and we're beholden to who loans us money.

00:35:46.520 I'm like, actually, they're not the number one.

00:35:49.440 Japan is the number one.

00:35:51.620 We owe the Chinese a trillion dollars.

00:35:54.400 I said, but what have American companies, American financial institutions invested in China?

00:36:03.620 The current investments in China far outweigh our loans against our own corporate, I mean, our own government loans from China.

00:36:15.680 We've invested far more than a trillion dollars as a nation in China.

00:36:19.940 And it's a paper bag, because most every time they go in to audit those companies, there's nothing there.

00:36:28.960 There's four walls and no one in it.

00:36:31.520 So we've based an investment strategy based on an empty bag of goods.

00:36:39.600 And when that thing crushes, I think those guys are going to have a rude awakening.

00:36:44.940 Russia, look, what I look at is how American companies were checkmated to pull out of Russia, whether it was Volkswagen as a German company or McDonald's.

00:37:01.360 The European and American companies had to distance themselves from Russia based on the atrocities that are going on in the Ukraine.

00:37:08.400 We yet have not had the same reaction to the atrocities of the Uyghurs and the rest of the Chinese government.

00:37:19.480 But if they make a move on Taiwan, which is more than likely at some point in our lifetimes, what will that do to American companies?

00:37:29.380 They will be forced to make a decision.

00:37:32.940 And if SWIFT goes into action based on that, Vietnam will be stalled.

00:37:39.140 Indonesia will be stalled.

00:37:40.940 Cambodia will be stalled.

00:37:42.140 Thailand will be stalled.

00:37:43.920 SWIFT will stall all those countries that are transshipping Chinese goods into American shores, avoiding tariffs.

00:37:51.140 So the Chinese are very smart.

00:37:53.440 They now have made us dependent.

00:37:55.440 And right before COVID, I sat on a panel with the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce in L.A., and there was a guy from Beijing on it.

00:38:05.180 And he said, you know, we're a family-loving people.

00:38:08.200 We love our aunts, uncles.

00:38:09.620 I'm like, how is that possible?

00:38:11.540 You're a one-child policy.

00:38:13.000 You have no aunts and uncles.

00:38:14.260 You have no cousins.

00:38:15.560 Your children don't know how to share.

00:38:17.740 You're entitled society.

00:38:19.700 He got a little red.

00:38:21.060 And I got under his skin, and at one moment, he said to me, he said, you know, you Americans, you're an addictive society.

00:38:27.900 You're addicted to your fentanyl.

00:38:29.820 We provide it.

00:38:30.740 You're addicted to your marijuana, your cocaine, your heroin.

00:38:35.920 I was like, okay, I'll give you that.

00:38:38.140 He goes, but your addiction to low price outweighs all your addiction to all the drugs.

00:38:42.720 And we provide your addiction to low price through low-cost labor.

00:38:46.720 And I said, you know, Americans will pivot.

00:38:49.360 Don't think that Americans won't be willing to pay more at some point.

00:38:54.120 And right now, with inflation, the proof is in the pudding that Americans are addicted to low price.

00:39:00.140 But you know what?

00:39:01.220 It's not there anymore.

00:39:02.760 So they're moving on.

00:39:04.640 They're going to buy better.

00:39:06.240 They're going to buy better quality items.

00:39:07.920 They're going to demand that they get more for their money, that it lasts longer.

00:39:12.440 And that doesn't have China in the equation.

00:39:15.680 So at some point, this whole narrative is going to change.

00:39:20.560 But it's going to take a realization of corporate America, the chamber, that the game's over.

00:39:27.940 And that they can no longer look to slave labor to make their numbers every quarter.

00:39:32.960 They're going to need to look towards better product, better quality, lasting longer, buy American, buy better.

00:39:41.340 And that will change the dynamic of the future.

00:39:45.120 But here's another part of the picture.

00:39:49.320 And it's an ugly part of the picture.

00:39:51.420 We're looking at companies in this country, retailers, who just in and of themselves represent a place on the top 10 export markets for Chinese goods.

00:40:04.260 Now, you know who I'm talking about.

00:40:06.060 I'm talking about, for example, Walmart.

00:40:08.160 I'm talking about Amazon.

00:40:11.500 Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, TJ Maxx.

00:40:17.580 We are centralizing, doing the opposite of what works in this country.

00:40:22.240 We are centralizing production.

00:40:25.320 And we've decided to do so on a little place called China.

00:40:29.560 And we're willing then to turn it all over to Walmart, to Home Depot, because that's just, those are boffo ideas.

00:40:39.320 They were destructive of decentralization.

00:40:41.840 They were destructive of family business, the small, the small businessman and woman has for 30 years just been something of an anachronism.

00:40:52.220 We have to return, it seems to me, to some level of decentralization in distribution and retail as well as production.

00:41:03.500 I really think we've got to be strategic in our thinking.

00:41:08.720 And we don't have a single person in the United States Congress who knows what the hell you and I are talking about.

00:41:13.960 Do you know that?

00:41:15.120 Not a single damn one of them.

00:41:17.360 I tend to agree with you.

00:41:19.260 There's not many who understand the repercussions of their actions.

00:41:24.620 Take Russia.

00:41:26.320 Russia was the natural ally for the West.

00:41:29.920 Okay?

00:41:30.400 Absolutely.

00:41:30.740 It's not, it's not, it's Roman ethos, but an orthodox ethos.

00:41:37.580 They have nothing in common with China.

00:41:40.060 They have more in common with us than China.

00:41:43.640 Trump would have probably made a deal with Russia and the globalists would have been out.

00:41:48.700 That the Chinese will use everything they can.

00:41:53.300 Their export model is crumbling.

00:41:55.360 They know it's over.

00:41:56.500 Why are they shutting Shanghai, using COVID to shut down the cities?

00:42:01.680 All of this is collapsing.

00:42:03.280 The Chinese are using the Russians as a means to an end.

00:42:07.200 It will play it out over phases.

00:42:09.500 But the Russians, we're pushing for, we're pushing for regime change in Russia, which we should have never done.

00:42:15.960 We should have talked about, you know, a unification.

00:42:19.680 We need Russia against China more than China needs Russia with them.

00:42:24.440 And so this whole issue is going to put us into a position where we are segmenting the world into trading blocks that are no longer valid under the old way.

00:42:39.820 And China's actions, China's actions with Russia from the Olympics all the way through, if that doesn't show our politicians what we're dealing with, there's nothing will.

00:42:57.040 If the CIA director under Biden, I meant, I almost said Obama, a Freudian slip there.

00:43:04.020 There may have been a correct slip, by the way.

00:43:05.840 Yeah, but the CIA director saying that China is our number one threat today.

00:43:14.720 Russia's, I mean, they can't, their ships don't even sail.

00:43:19.180 They're sinking, you know, the Ukrainians are ship taking out everything.

00:43:23.220 I don't think that we'd have the same type of war with China.

00:43:29.240 I think it would be far more devastating.

00:43:32.780 Offensively, I think we would be hurt.

00:43:36.680 And I think we would lose a lot of lives.

00:43:39.040 But I think that we're pushing on four fronts right now.

00:43:42.040 And I don't know how our military under Austin is going to deal with four fronts.

00:43:47.740 You have Morocco, Algeria.

00:43:49.660 You have the Gulf, and the Iranians have been testing that and been prodding it since Afghanistan.

00:43:59.220 You have a mis-move on Poland is going to pull 40,000 troops into war up there.

00:44:08.520 And then you have China-Taiwan.

00:44:10.400 If we end up with two out of those four fronts, we're spread very, very thin.

00:44:16.040 And I think if you talk about the generals and admirals who are in charge at the Pentagon,

00:44:21.580 I think that would be quite a challenge for them, anything more than one front.

00:44:25.880 And, you know, part of what scares the hell out of me, they have doctrine based on long

00:44:32.540 wars for our Marines and our Army.

00:44:36.420 They know how to make a war last and spend trillions of dollars and achieve nothing.

00:44:41.680 We have a group of some of the dumbest SOBs in American history running our military.

00:44:48.760 And no one wants to say it out loud, but that's exactly the truth.

00:44:52.540 We've got great men and women in uniform.

00:44:55.720 Their leaders are awful.

00:44:57.720 And we should be ashamed of ourselves for permitting it.

00:45:00.780 We haven't conducted oversight over these military academies.

00:45:04.820 We haven't set standards for them to repair to in becoming flag officers, staff officers,

00:45:13.980 general officers from the very beginning.

00:45:16.380 It's a horrible, horrible mess.

00:45:20.140 And that's why they can't recruit anybody.

00:45:22.840 Most young men who want to serve this nation want better than what they're being offered,

00:45:27.540 which is madness from the White House and the commander-in-chief.

00:45:30.860 They know that the Pentagon is a joke out there that is an enemy of our Western culture and

00:45:40.060 Western society would not be elated by what they're facing in the White House.

00:45:48.120 Yeah.

00:45:48.620 Susan Rice, Valerie Jarrett.

00:45:51.260 You know, this whole administration is really confused to where they're going and I think

00:46:02.660 what they need to do for the security of the American people.

00:46:06.080 And quite frankly, I don't think they care about the American people.

00:46:09.300 I don't either.

00:46:10.020 You know?

00:46:11.300 I just don't think they care.

00:46:12.720 But you know, Lou, I've buried many of family members that were very wealthy and I never

00:46:20.380 saw any of them going to the grave with even a checkbook.

00:46:26.260 So whatever their financial gain is or whatever their egotistical gain is, we're all going to

00:46:34.280 die.

00:46:34.580 And what we're going to leave behind is a world that we have either helped or aided in the

00:46:42.540 destruction of.

00:46:44.180 And we really need to think, and I hope that they go to sleep at night, knowing that a world

00:46:49.840 led under an American Judeo-Christian basis is much better when you're turning off the TV,

00:46:58.580 no matter how bad it is, than a leader like Xi Jinping.

00:47:02.220 If you want to turn your TV off at night and the last message coming from Xi Jinping, then

00:47:08.580 we're going down the right path because they will.

00:47:11.340 We will be a colony of the mothership China.

00:47:14.800 And that's maybe what they want.

00:47:17.220 You know, it's bought and paid for.

00:47:18.320 I mean, for Dianne Feinstein to have for 20 years her houseboy driver, her personal assistant,

00:47:27.080 having access to every one of those national security documents for 20 years, and we weren't

00:47:35.980 able to put him in jail.

00:47:39.260 It's where is it going?

00:47:42.000 Well, unfortunately, I think we're more than a lot more than halfway there.

00:47:46.780 When we have a justice system now that's George Soros-influenced local DAs, by local I'm referring

00:47:54.880 to the 2020, maybe it's been 27 cities, Democratic-led, that have prosecutors that irrespective of

00:48:03.200 the violent crime, almost irrespective of any violent crime, will not prosecute because there

00:48:09.520 is a social justice ideology within all that we're watching that somehow allows them to

00:48:17.300 virtue signal not only to one another, but to remove their conscience from any calculation.

00:48:24.920 You know, I used to think that we can't influence policy, that those of us with a voice, but we

00:48:30.860 can't.

00:48:31.620 You know, I went to Kevin McCarthy with an idea, you know, instead of putting all these

00:48:39.140 blocks to capture carbon or stop carbon or, you know, regulate carbon output, why don't

00:48:46.280 we just plant trees?

00:48:47.360 You know, when I was a little kid in Sunday school, we used to collect quarters to plant

00:48:51.560 trees in Israel.

00:48:52.520 So I went to him with the idea that why don't we tie foreign policy, foreign aid to planting

00:48:58.100 trees around the world?

00:48:59.640 And it ended up being the Trillion Tree Program.

00:49:02.580 And we can, you know, that little boy that went to Sunday school, putting quarters into

00:49:07.760 the little thing to plant a tree in Israel, had the idea of the Trillion Tree Program.

00:49:12.660 But it's a very simple alternative.

00:49:16.580 Plant trees.

00:49:17.660 They're being cut down in the Amazon.

00:49:19.880 They're being cut down in China at a high rate.

00:49:22.700 If we don't go using God's natural way of curbing carbon, what are we looking for?

00:49:29.640 We're putting carbon into salt mines, closing up the salt mines.

00:49:33.700 And so how crazy are we going?

00:49:36.080 Plant a seed.

00:49:37.340 Do you think the America we know will be around when those trees are harvested?

00:49:43.040 Because I don't.

00:49:43.920 And I think where we've got to plant some growth is in this country.

00:49:51.260 And we have really got to take care of this country.

00:49:54.760 This is no longer, you know, internationalism is terrific.

00:49:58.820 And I think we've, look, we've, you know this, we've created more than half the world's

00:50:03.920 wealth in this country.

00:50:05.300 We've generated it.

00:50:06.500 We have shared it.

00:50:08.060 And we have driven it.

00:50:09.820 But for those who think that we can avoid attention to the most dire challenges this

00:50:17.720 nation has ever faced from within, I think they're mistaken.

00:50:21.200 And I think that there's no time here for any kind of evasion of the reality.

00:50:28.720 If we continue to put up with this Democratic Party and a government that is filled, infested

00:50:34.700 with Marxists and radical leftists, we're doomed.

00:50:41.600 The shame is, is that ego drives a lot in America.

00:50:46.100 Power drives a lot.

00:50:47.520 And the power of the non-elected official drives a tremendous amount that we need to

00:50:57.640 have some kind of control over.

00:50:59.540 You know, when you're driving down the street and you're a citizen and you go 80 miles an

00:51:04.420 hour, you get a ticket.

00:51:07.020 But, you know, for some of our deep state, they can drive 80 miles an hour and not get

00:51:13.520 anything.

00:51:13.880 So we're, we're, we have this political society and it's almost like, you know, the path in

00:51:21.500 Africa is you choose government or military as one path to become wealthy, or you choose

00:51:30.080 another path, which is economic business, which you are uncertain of its outcome.

00:51:36.280 You know, the political trajectory in Africa is the one that brings you the money because

00:51:41.980 it brings you the payoffs.

00:51:43.900 If, if we're going down that path, the bribe America, the America's over.

00:51:49.460 We are there.

00:51:51.600 You and no one listening to our voices can point to a single person in the FBI over the course

00:51:59.140 of the past seven years who has stepped forward to say, I'm a whistleblower.

00:52:03.880 And I know that, uh, the Russian collusion hoax was orchestrated by the Clintons, by the

00:52:12.460 democratic national committee.

00:52:13.980 And here's what's planned next.

00:52:16.000 And these are the people within the FBI who are carrying it out by the way, everybody had

00:52:21.480 to know what you and I both understand that.

00:52:24.340 But you, you look at that and then you look at a guy like Rick Singer, the college counselor,

00:52:28.900 what was he getting $6 million to place a Chinese kid in Stanford for?

00:52:36.600 Yeah.

00:52:36.760 What was he, why, why was it worth $6 million to that Chinese guy to go into our labs, to

00:52:43.700 steal our research?

00:52:45.680 And Rick Singer, you know, is, is, where's Rick Singer?

00:52:51.780 Where are the people, Summa Corporation behind him, Oppenheimer, all of these banks that were

00:52:58.140 funding and bringing him around to introduce him to their Chinese clients.

00:53:02.800 Where, where is all that?

00:53:04.860 You know, what's gone on?

00:53:06.200 What's gone on with all that money?

00:53:07.820 Where is it?

00:53:08.760 Where's the FBI on this one?

00:53:10.460 You know, they got, they got 40 high profile people, but the big prize was, why was it

00:53:17.360 done?

00:53:18.360 Why were the Chinese using our system to infiltrate our universities?

00:53:24.900 Well, let's ask another question of the Chinese and ourselves.

00:53:28.760 Where are those Confucius Institutes that were ordered closed in the Trump administration?

00:53:34.300 And how many were closed in our, in our public schools, our unit public universities?

00:53:42.120 Uh, and guess what?

00:53:44.240 Most of them are still there doing exactly what they did before.

00:53:48.000 And if we're thinking about the investigation into the Chinese espionage, uh, and, uh, and

00:53:56.300 theft of our technology and our intellectual property, how many cases have been brought by that,

00:54:02.360 uh, very esoteric and elite group, uh, set up by the justice department and the intelligence

00:54:08.960 community, uh, to aggressively process, investigate and prosecute.

00:54:13.740 They were disbanded.

00:54:15.820 They were disbanded, John.

00:54:18.640 And we're, and we're worrying about it in Russia.

00:54:23.280 We're out of our minds.

00:54:26.460 The biggest thing is, is that we're not worrying about Russia.

00:54:29.840 We're worrying about global warming, but yet we're not solving the problem.

00:54:35.060 We're, we're going to every which way, but not the problem just to confuse the American

00:54:42.620 people, you know, uh, under Trump, CISA, I was part of a group of stakeholders that were

00:54:49.740 on calls and CISA, uh, called an emergency call.

00:54:53.780 And they said, our, our, um, OWA, our outlook web access, uh, and our JavaScript has been

00:55:03.780 taken over by the Chinese and they wanted everyone to start to put patches on our critical infrastructure.

00:55:10.500 So our food supply, our ports, uh, everything was being shut down and taken control by the

00:55:16.100 Chinese.

00:55:16.440 Um, then they took and they disseminated the codes through Twitter and it happened the

00:55:24.800 week that if you recall the Twitter, uh, attack happened where they were sending out, send

00:55:31.020 Bitcoin to so-and-so and we're going to send you back, you know, 10 times as much.

00:55:35.040 So it happened that week, not one news organization reported on it, but yet last night, 60 minutes

00:55:43.680 reports on Russia hacking of our infrastructure, but yet China, which I heard with my own ears

00:55:52.540 sitting at my own dining room table had taken control of half of our fortune 1000 companies

00:55:58.640 infrastructure.

00:55:59.640 And not one people said about it and it wasn't being hid.

00:56:05.140 It was actual fact last night, the disinformation in 60 minutes saying that the Russians are in

00:56:10.900 control of our, what are they kidding?

00:56:14.260 That's not who's in control.

00:56:16.120 The Chinese are in control.

00:56:17.920 They're in our backyards.

00:56:19.360 They're in our computers.

00:56:20.480 They own our American companies that are behind the wall.

00:56:24.620 They, we've allowed our enemy to infiltrate us.

00:56:30.720 And until we recognize that it's not the, with the enemy of your enemy is my friend or

00:56:38.300 something, you know, so China will dominate America.

00:56:43.420 I had dinner, give you example, American company, uh, owned by a Chinese public company.

00:56:51.320 And I meet with his son at Yamashira for dinner in LA.

00:56:57.540 And I said, so you have two kids born in LA said, yes, I'm moving to Newport.

00:57:03.700 Great.

00:57:05.040 Said to me, he goes, but I'm moving back to China.

00:57:07.660 I'm like, why?

00:57:09.340 He said, let me tell you, my father's a member of the CCP.

00:57:12.600 That makes me a member of the CCP.

00:57:14.640 I have to go back.

00:57:15.780 And I said, but you came to America to educate your kids and put them in school and have them

00:57:20.520 born here and have them raised in a different, you know, methodology.

00:57:25.540 He said, yes, but I'll bring them back to run for office in 30 years.

00:57:30.000 Well, uh, I think we've got some idea of their intent.

00:57:33.080 Well, what about COVID virus?

00:57:35.560 And then the next thing is avian flu, bird flu, devastating chicken flocks, uh, wreaking

00:57:45.700 havoc with, uh, chicken farming and production.

00:57:49.380 Is that just a coincidence?

00:57:51.800 No, here's the thing.

00:57:53.380 Remember what we saw in those videos in Shanghai with people early of hunger locked in their

00:58:02.660 apartments with no food.

00:58:04.380 If Americans don't think that that's a path that the Chinese would love to see America

00:58:10.500 in, you know, what they have is they have proven their methodology works.

00:58:19.580 They could launch a virus in Wuhan to stop demonstrators in August of 2019 from demonstrating

00:58:30.540 in Hong Kong, spread it around the world with a certain type of DNA that they got from our

00:58:39.360 23andMe DNA and attack a certain population.

00:58:44.180 And it spreads around the world within months.

00:58:48.300 They know what they have in, in this virus and game of function issues.

00:58:55.180 They can attack, take Jews, me.

00:58:58.920 They can go for Ashkenazi Jews.

00:59:01.560 They don't even have to pick Sephardic Jews.

00:59:03.240 They can use a virus to take out anything and anyone they want and impact us.

00:59:10.380 Unless we awaken as a nation to how serious this threat is, we are done.

00:59:17.820 The end of the world could be here.

00:59:23.040 And, you know, I said that to a friend of mine on the phone on Saturday.

00:59:28.800 And you know what?

00:59:29.560 He didn't laugh.

00:59:30.820 He said, I'm on the advisory board of a graduate school in D.C.

00:59:35.620 And we train a lot of agency people that are, you know, getting graduate degrees that are

00:59:41.100 going to the next level.

00:59:42.640 He said, that's our single biggest question is they all feel the end of the world is near.

00:59:49.160 And what are we going to do?

00:59:51.420 So to me, what this COVID has proven to the Chinese is they can specify a pig.

01:00:00.360 They can specify cattle.

01:00:02.180 They can specify particular food sources.

01:00:04.760 They can specify particular people, generation.

01:00:08.860 And they can go out with a virus and take it down.

01:00:11.740 So how do we stop it?

01:00:13.680 With a weak administration, with no fear of retaliation, the problem why we're not coming

01:00:20.540 out on COVID, why aren't we saying what COVID is?

01:00:24.720 Why aren't we saying where it was generated from?

01:00:26.980 Why aren't we admitting to certain things?

01:00:29.960 And why aren't we admitting that Obama and Fauci invested $3.7 million in it?

01:00:38.140 Why are we shoving all this under the carpet?

01:00:41.240 What's the narrative?

01:00:42.180 What's the disinformation?

01:00:43.460 And where is it going?

01:00:45.180 And why is it going there?

01:00:46.360 You know, the pig deaths that were going on in China, I mean, as it's their main source

01:00:57.180 of protein, all their pigs were dying.

01:01:00.240 And that's why they weren't buying soy.

01:01:02.480 Because if they were buying soy, they were storing the soy.

01:01:05.300 But their pigs, why are you feeding pigs that are dying?

01:01:07.660 So they wanted to get rid of the flu that was killing their swine flu.

01:01:13.800 And so we're in the same position.

01:01:15.800 They can go after our birds, supply it.

01:01:17.540 Now, take birds.

01:01:19.180 If you notice, Tyson's had a bunch of recalls for plastic in the carcasses of the animal.

01:01:28.320 Well, how is that plastic getting into the animal?

01:01:31.140 It gets into the animal because before Purina used to make food supply in America, it was

01:01:36.420 more expensive.

01:01:37.080 But we had our own source of domestic feed.

01:01:41.940 Well, now we're buying that feed from China, bringing it in.

01:01:45.580 But how are the Chinese selling it so cheap?

01:01:47.720 Is they're taking plastic and they're increasing the weight of the feed by putting plastic, recycled

01:01:55.060 carcinogenic plastic, into our food supply.

01:01:58.660 And it's ending up in the carcasses of our chicken.

01:02:01.900 And Tyson, when they get caught, have to recall this chicken.

01:02:05.780 So what are we doing to ourselves?

01:02:09.100 I mean, you look at steel.

01:02:12.720 Steel in America that is recycled, melted.

01:02:16.040 We check the steel prior to it being melted for radioactivity.

01:02:22.200 Do you think that the Chinese are checking steel for radioactivity and they're recycling it and

01:02:29.000 putting it into our furniture that we're putting into our home?

01:02:31.540 We could have radioactive tables at our dining room because it's coming from China.

01:02:38.580 Do you think the Chinese are checking for radioactive material in their metal supply chain?

01:02:43.100 Americans do.

01:02:44.780 Our American companies are required to.

01:02:48.140 So what's it going to take, Jonathan?

01:02:49.980 This is we know that China is the enemy.

01:02:53.620 It's not the chief competitor or the principal competitor.

01:02:58.360 It's not a potential co-operator.

01:03:00.740 It is seeking dominion over the world and the destruction of the United States.

01:03:06.380 But so are our elites.

01:03:09.740 They actually are aligned with the Chinese because they mean to destroy our constitutional democracy,

01:03:18.640 our republic.

01:03:20.880 Now, they have different ways of getting there, I think.

01:03:23.220 But their alignment is remarkable and unremarked upon by our wonderful globalist media, corporate media.

01:03:35.260 What are we to do about that?

01:03:36.860 And how are we to respond when we know that our political system is corrupt, our elections

01:03:42.040 are rigged without even so much as a blush from the Democrats, our court system is corrupt.

01:03:48.860 We are a nation in trouble, and we don't have a single, single leader using his or her voice

01:03:57.460 to awaken the American people.

01:04:00.920 You know, so there's a couple of things I want to answer on that.

01:04:03.800 That America is, with all its faults, with everything, is the greatest country in the world.

01:04:13.100 And, you know, I call it God's country.

01:04:16.860 And our forefathers came in, and they put a system in place that was against one-party rule.

01:04:26.620 No king, no queen, no oligarch, no czar, no one-party rule.

01:04:32.240 They put a system in place that made us compromise.

01:04:36.660 Through compromise comes solutions that are beneficial for everyone.

01:04:40.080 No one voice should have control over our nation.

01:04:43.100 And yes, I believe that they want one-party rule.

01:04:46.440 And one-party rule is the destruction of this country.

01:04:50.960 So that's, I hope that, I hope that our system that the forefathers put in survives this attack

01:04:59.940 for a czar, a king, a queen, a one-party politician that controls everything.

01:05:08.440 But going back to China, how do we deal with it?

01:05:11.980 I think there's two forks in the road.

01:05:15.540 One, China attacks Taiwan, and it's over.

01:05:19.100 It's decoupling at an immediate moment.

01:05:22.960 And, you know, watch America wake up and survive.

01:05:27.540 That's one.

01:05:28.400 Two, is that we continue down the path.

01:05:31.440 And Xi Jinping believes in his heart in Shenzi, which is that the emperor of China is the mothership

01:05:40.300 and that all other countries are colonies that depend on the mothership and wants to return.

01:05:45.640 Whereas everyone says Putin wants to bring back the USSR, Xi goes even further.

01:05:52.680 He wants to incorporate the imperialistic power of China and go back to the whole world being under domination of the Chinese government.

01:06:00.240 So you have two leaders that want almost the same thing.

01:06:05.220 And you have America there that's going, well, but we want, you know, greenhouse gases to be controlled.

01:06:12.920 You're kidding, right?

01:06:14.800 What about planting food?

01:06:16.740 Oh, no, no, no, no.

01:06:17.860 That creates methane.

01:06:19.160 We can't have our farms creating methane.

01:06:21.200 Let's stop from producing food.

01:06:23.100 I mean, we're in two different levels, but wealth, you know, I raised my whole life in LA and you have this elite in Hollywood.

01:06:38.420 And, you know, they make $20 million a movie or $50 million and they feel guilty for the amount of money that they make when other people aren't.

01:06:48.420 So what they do is they come in and they try to push the rest of us.

01:06:51.200 They should pay more taxes.

01:06:53.440 They should do more of this.

01:06:54.680 They should do more of that.

01:06:56.180 But really, why don't they do it?

01:06:58.180 Start with themselves.

01:06:59.240 If they believe in a different world, they should reach into their pocket and pay first.

01:07:05.980 Why are they coming to all of us, the American citizens, and saying, wait, you have to do more?

01:07:10.500 Start with yourself.

01:07:11.660 You don't want plastic at home?

01:07:13.380 Take all the plastic and all the derivatives out of your house.

01:07:16.180 You don't want glass?

01:07:17.420 Take it out.

01:07:18.100 You don't want metal?

01:07:18.920 Take it out.

01:07:19.680 What are they going to say?

01:07:20.320 Out of my house is all the Chinese plastic.

01:07:22.800 I want the Chinese virus out of my country.

01:07:25.460 I want the damn Chinese brought to bear for accountability.

01:07:29.380 I want retribution.

01:07:30.960 I want reparations.

01:07:32.400 I don't want any bull.

01:07:33.840 I am sick and tired of living under the threat of what China is going to do or think or what some, you know, pencil neck buttercup in Washington thinks of global warming policy.

01:07:50.780 We are looking at all the wrong problems, while square in our face is communist China and Soviet Russia in the remaking.

01:08:03.680 We're fools to let our eyes.

01:08:05.240 We're looking at a corporate news media that is working for elites, leftists, Marxists, trying to destroy the country.

01:08:17.920 Our corporate structures are absolutely rotten to the core.

01:08:22.540 Our markets, our capital markets are very perilously close to being, let me put it this way, destabilized.

01:08:33.820 We are kidding ourselves in this country, and we are damn fools for doing so, and we've got to awaken to that.

01:08:41.420 But that's the fork in the road that I want to take.

01:08:45.320 And if it isn't a fork in the road, I want to blaze a path in that direction.

01:08:49.220 But you're right, because we bonus corporate America not on finding solutions to our global supply chain issues, but continuing profitability.

01:09:00.820 We don't, you know, we're not incentivizing building automation and factories and investing in our supply chain infrastructure.

01:09:12.700 We're incentivizing companies on investing on our infrastructure in a green, sustainable way, which is all coming from China, which doesn't make sense.

01:09:22.860 But we're not incentivizing a decoupling of our issues and our dependency on a single source supply chain.

01:09:33.180 So what should we decouple?

01:09:35.540 A hundred percent.

01:09:37.460 You know, Trump said it.

01:09:40.660 Trump said, start to move your supply chains.

01:09:44.140 No one listened.

01:09:45.940 Robert O'Brien wrote a piece in the Wall Street Journal saying our biggest single threat is China.

01:09:52.000 China, no one listened.

01:09:54.740 Everybody gets up and says, China, you can't rely on them.

01:09:59.920 It's going to be a problem.

01:10:01.140 No one listens.

01:10:02.240 Because at the end of the day, you know what?

01:10:03.860 Maybe we're going to get our containers flowing again.

01:10:06.620 And, you know, we can raise prices and sock away the freight costs.

01:10:10.920 And now you hear, look, at the USTR, there was a letter that was sent to the USTR, signed, I think, by 146 members of Congress, of which 60-plus were Republicans.

01:10:26.320 Who signed that letter?

01:10:29.540 Young Kim, Michelle Steele, Republicans that had stood up for changing supply chain in California.

01:10:40.500 You had Kevin McCarthy.

01:10:43.100 You had Nancy Pelosi didn't sign that letter.

01:10:46.460 But guess what?

01:10:47.500 They did overturn a lot of the Section 301 tariffs.

01:10:50.440 And that just kicked the can down the hill.

01:10:54.460 And I don't understand.

01:10:56.940 The USTR sends a letter that doesn't accomplish anything.

01:11:00.000 We have Republican senators sending a letter to Nancy Pelosi.

01:11:03.440 She doesn't read.

01:11:04.560 What in the world happened with political process in this country where you go after results?

01:11:11.700 I can't.

01:11:12.620 The only person getting results is Joe Biden, and he's the dumbest son of a gun in Washington.

01:11:17.260 But he can sign an executive order and things happen.

01:11:21.180 And that is the repository of all power right now because Republicans don't have a fresh, original idea about a single damn thing.

01:11:31.900 Well, we have to go back to compromise.

01:11:34.520 We have to go back to true compromise.

01:11:39.180 We have to go back to sitting and respecting each other as Americans with different views.

01:11:43.040 And we're allowed to have the Constitution provides that we have different views.

01:11:47.520 Good Lord, Jonathan.

01:11:48.180 You're one of the smartest people I know.

01:11:49.660 You tell me who's going to sit down and represent the Republicans at that table and who will represent the Democrats, the leftists versus the rhinos.

01:11:59.120 I mean, there's no room for compromise.

01:12:01.020 You're talking about a party that's committed to the destruction of this country.

01:12:05.040 They want one party and they want it to be theirs.

01:12:07.920 And they're almost there, Jonathan.

01:12:10.940 Who would you want to be that negotiator for the Republican Party?

01:12:14.300 If one person, just name him or her.

01:12:17.240 Ronald Reagan.

01:12:18.620 Well, you know, we're going to have to assume him to make that work.

01:12:23.060 I was thinking someone a little more animated.

01:12:26.260 I think Tom Cotton.

01:12:28.360 Oh, my Lord.

01:12:29.500 He's a rhino.

01:12:30.780 He's a rhino posing as a conservative.

01:12:33.520 But at least he understands the threat of China.

01:12:36.440 I don't want to compromise that much.

01:12:38.040 I don't want to compromise on a guy who's got his eye on a different job.

01:12:41.820 No one will win that doesn't stand in tow with the current narrative.

01:12:51.800 Well, then you know what?

01:12:52.980 We lose.

01:12:54.360 You know, Carla Sands, I think, could be a voice of reason.

01:12:59.440 A woman who served in Europe could bring at least a different perspective to the table

01:13:06.880 as ambassador.

01:13:08.460 You know, I mean, we need people that are not government.

01:13:11.440 We need to go back to the two, four, six, eight.

01:13:14.800 Two years was us Americans doing our service, going to the House of Representatives, bringing

01:13:21.780 two years of service and going back home to our farms or our factories or our towns.

01:13:27.200 And then four years for president, six years for a senator.

01:13:31.600 We have to have term limits because these terms that are going 30 years.

01:13:35.660 You're talking like we've got 10 years here.

01:13:37.980 We have a midterm election that's six months away.

01:13:42.580 We haven't fixed our electoral system.

01:13:45.240 We know that the Democrats are going to continue to persist in pushing an electoral season rather

01:13:50.840 than a day.

01:13:51.900 We know they're going to want to be counting the votes.

01:13:54.460 Let me ask you the obvious question.

01:13:57.820 What's wrong with Trump?

01:13:59.180 He was right about everything.

01:14:00.860 The Democrats are all in big.

01:14:02.920 What do you think?

01:14:04.480 I would love to see change.

01:14:09.620 But I think change has to come from somebody who's not a guy who gets up there and says,

01:14:19.060 I want to see a United States of America and then go back and punish every Republican or

01:14:25.860 every other party.

01:14:26.660 That's stuff you see in other countries, right?

01:14:29.400 We're going down the path of third world.

01:14:32.900 You are quoting Obama, right?

01:14:34.720 Right.

01:14:35.020 I mean, they don't want unification.

01:14:37.680 They want, as you say, single party rule, but they want control.

01:14:42.220 They want ultimate control of the people.

01:14:44.320 They want to say, you can go lock up in your house when we tell you.

01:14:47.640 You can go on an airplane when we tell you.

01:14:50.480 You can go travel to a hotel when we tell you.

01:14:53.560 And if we don't tell you, you can't do it.

01:14:56.120 So, yes, I think that we are in a position that is, we don't have time.

01:15:02.420 You're 100% correct, Lou.

01:15:04.520 Time is our enemy.

01:15:05.960 Time is always our enemy.

01:15:07.940 We're in a position where our decisions in these midterms are going to affect our children's

01:15:13.600 lives and the possibility of our freedoms for generations to come.

01:15:18.720 And it's going to affect our global impact.

01:15:22.400 And, you know, I got an email from a deputy mayor in a very big city who was a Democrat

01:15:30.060 who said, you know, I hate your thought process, your political thought process more than anything.

01:15:38.800 I despise what you stand for and who you stand for.

01:15:42.440 And I was like, well, let's talk about it.

01:15:44.940 He says, I won't talk about it.

01:15:46.120 And I said, you know what, if you despise it that much, communication, openness, maybe

01:15:53.940 I'll learn from you.

01:15:55.180 Maybe you'll learn from me.

01:15:56.380 Maybe we won't learn from each other.

01:15:58.420 But, you know, to have a system of foreign policy held in the control of one person's

01:16:06.000 hands is a dangerous thing.

01:16:09.040 You know, and even the direction where our country is going under one party rule is a

01:16:16.180 dangerous thing.

01:16:16.900 And you know what, Lou, the fact that they're messaging this whole thing of sustainability

01:16:23.060 and environmental green and, you know, the pain at the pump.

01:16:28.480 Well, the pain at the pump, you're going to continue to see the pain at the pump until

01:16:32.640 you succumb and buy a green car or a car that you can drive for 45 minutes or an hour or

01:16:39.360 two hours and then stop and have to charge it for 45 minutes.

01:16:42.540 I have no clue what they want from us.

01:16:46.840 But whatever they want from us involves where they're going to make money and what their goals

01:16:55.480 will be for after their elected officials.

01:16:58.180 They want to take away our rights.

01:16:59.540 They want to take away our freedom.

01:17:01.040 They want to take away our choices.

01:17:03.440 They want to take, did I mention our guns?

01:17:06.340 The fact of the matter is they don't want us as American citizens.

01:17:09.600 They want us to be American units of labor.

01:17:13.220 They want us to be consumers.

01:17:15.580 They do not want us to be citizens.

01:17:17.900 And guess what?

01:17:18.940 If we as a people do not revolt, rebel, and resist, we lose.

01:17:27.840 And it's that simple because we don't have any elites.

01:17:30.080 We don't want us to be smart enough to lead us.

01:17:32.400 You left one off the table.

01:17:35.220 Safety.

01:17:36.420 Safety?

01:17:37.780 We're in imminent danger.

01:17:39.800 Safety isn't even a consideration.

01:17:41.960 But you have a country that all these Europeans used to come here.

01:17:46.720 All these Gulf nations used to come.

01:17:49.260 And they used to say, it's amazing.

01:17:50.920 You can walk down the street in America and nothing happens.

01:17:54.300 You can't walk down the street in Paris because you're going to get robbed.

01:17:58.700 You can't walk into your apartment in a garage in Paris.

01:18:01.400 You're going to get robbed.

01:18:02.300 But in America, there's safety.

01:18:04.200 Well, today, there's no safety.

01:18:05.760 You can't go to a restaurant.

01:18:06.800 A friend of mine has a restaurant in Beverly Hills.

01:18:08.700 Guy walks up, says, give me your watch in broad daylight and start shooting people.

01:18:14.520 What safety is there anymore?

01:18:17.160 And you defund police.

01:18:20.140 You're going to get results.

01:18:21.520 And that's one of them.

01:18:22.680 There's no mystery in this.

01:18:24.740 There is nothing about this that is foggy, that elusive, ambiguous.

01:18:29.020 And there's nothing about any of this that we should be ambivalent about.

01:18:33.420 You defund police.

01:18:35.180 You get no law.

01:18:37.400 You get no order.

01:18:39.100 It's that simple.

01:18:40.280 But you follow the dicta of the Marxist, and you get totalitarianism.

01:18:46.740 It's that simple.

01:18:48.000 There is nothing in this that I think is worthy of a treatise, a philosophical treatise, on

01:18:54.900 possibilities, because it's all about winnowing possibilities.

01:18:59.300 And those possibilities are the potential of each and every American citizen that he and

01:19:04.780 she will no longer possess because of this damn Marxist Democrat party that has been on

01:19:11.780 our destruction.

01:19:12.500 That's why the forefathers guaranteed our right to bear arms, to protect ourselves, and that

01:19:21.340 safety is a huge issue.

01:19:24.580 And, you know, a friend of mine, I want to tell you a story.

01:19:27.280 After the election, I'm having lunch in Beverly Hills.

01:19:32.320 We're going to have to keep you away from those tables, my friend.

01:19:35.240 Well, wait, during it, you know, Beverly Hills was the site of a lot of Antifa, Black Lives

01:19:42.640 Matter.

01:19:43.180 They destroyed Rodeo Drive.

01:19:44.980 Beverly Hills is really considered one of the safest cities with the safest police departments

01:19:50.100 that I've ever seen, you know.

01:19:53.440 But it was brought to its knees.

01:19:55.100 And I'm having lunch with a friend of mine who's a Democrat on the day after the election.

01:20:00.480 And there's a, a armed vehicle walking by with, with, you know, guys with M16s on it.

01:20:08.340 And he's like, what's that for?

01:20:09.940 I'm like, you guys put it here.

01:20:11.660 He goes, oh, it's over now.

01:20:13.260 I'm like, it's over now because you said it's over now.

01:20:16.440 What do you mean it's over now?

01:20:18.360 You guys started this.

01:20:19.480 You guys started from the Women's March.

01:20:21.540 You started Black Lives Matter.

01:20:23.220 You started Asian hate, Jewish hate.

01:20:26.500 You've gone through all of these things that has started to, to, to ignite the worst side

01:20:37.620 of people for your own political gain.

01:20:40.600 And now you say it's over because Joe Biden won?

01:20:44.160 I hope it's not over.

01:20:45.660 I hope that we're not over.

01:20:48.780 I hope we're not over.

01:20:50.480 You mentioned Kevin McCarthy.

01:20:52.240 He wants to be Speaker of the House and he probably will be, but you know what?

01:20:57.640 It isn't going to be because he ever did a damn thing.

01:20:59.960 It isn't because he's a great believer in any particular political philosophy.

01:21:07.240 He is a rhino.

01:21:09.120 And by the way, that's the way it is.

01:21:11.420 But we have to have a lineage of Paul Ryan, of Kevin McCarthy, a speaker, well, it's John

01:21:23.760 Boehner, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy.

01:21:29.560 Look over at the Senate, Mitch McConnell and every American who is not despairing for the,

01:21:36.100 for the future of their children and their grandchildren right now just isn't informed.

01:21:41.620 I truly believe that.

01:21:43.080 And it's time for everybody to get wired into the truth and what is happening and understand

01:21:48.220 why.

01:21:48.700 And Jonathan, nobody has the why down better than you.

01:21:52.920 I really appreciate you being with us to, to give us your thoughts and, uh, and try to,

01:21:58.820 uh, if you will, and so, uh, inspire us to, to our higher, better natures.

01:22:05.320 But I have to tell you, I think this fight will end in the streets.

01:22:09.580 And I think this fight will have to be won by people who understand precisely, precisely

01:22:17.340 how, uh, fragile, uh, and right now endangered the United States is.

01:22:23.960 We always give the, our guests, the last word your turn, my friend.

01:22:28.700 So is Kevin McCarthy has been a friend for over 20 years.

01:22:33.240 And I hope that Kevin, given the position, will do the right thing for the country.

01:22:39.900 And I'm counting on it, hopefully that he will, and it will be that if he listens to

01:22:46.400 other voices, but that's as, you know, that's all to be seen and his, his history will be

01:22:53.340 made by himself.

01:22:54.220 And hopefully he'll, if given God gives him that he'll do the right thing for the people

01:23:00.500 of this country who put him there.

01:23:02.440 But the last word is the threat of China is our biggest single threat.

01:23:10.660 And unless we start voting every day, and that's Americans can vote every day.

01:23:16.280 They can leave made in China on the shelves.

01:23:20.120 They don't have to buy made in China.

01:23:21.780 They don't have to consume it.

01:23:23.480 They can buy something else.

01:23:25.020 And the minute they start doing that, it stops the whole process.

01:23:28.900 And at the end of the day, we Americans can vote with our wallets.

01:23:32.900 We may not be able to surely vote with our pens anymore, but we can vote with our wallets.

01:23:38.500 And until they take our wallets away from us, we'll, we'll be able to at least have that

01:23:43.040 power as a consumer.

01:23:44.020 And if we buy made in North America or made anywhere but China, we're taking the blood

01:23:50.360 supply away from the heart of our enemy and giving the future and bringing back small town

01:23:57.860 USA, which was taken out by China and China is our biggest threat.

01:24:03.200 And if you don't think for one minute that those families that were decimated in small

01:24:09.020 town USA, decimated, lost their laundry, lost their shoe repair shop, lost their cafe,

01:24:16.980 all boarded up to nothing.

01:24:19.460 We now in LA see what boarded up supply chain is.

01:24:23.800 We see boarded up stores everywhere because small town USA has now hit big town America.

01:24:29.520 And it's China, it's globalists, it's the WTO that has brought this to America.

01:24:37.360 It wasn't subprime lending was the cause.

01:24:41.660 It was moving small town USA to, to Guangzhou and taking all those jobs and giving them the

01:24:50.860 only other job was working at the Walmart super center at $7 an hour.

01:24:55.140 How do you rebuild a country when 99% of the people in small town USA work for the Walmart?

01:25:01.940 We have to change.

01:25:03.960 We have to take the hard pill going back to work, building America and building great product

01:25:11.100 that the world wants to buy because it's high quality, high value, and it lasts longer

01:25:20.980 than anything you buy anywhere else in the world.

01:25:23.780 And that will bring American business back.

01:25:25.920 That will be the revival of our industrial revolution.

01:25:29.240 So hopefully, God willing, Lou, with your voice out there as you do, and as you bring our

01:25:38.800 nation a different perspective and a perspective that is, I hate to say, over the last 20 years

01:25:45.420 has been right more than anybody else.

01:25:50.080 If you continue to have that voice and God continues to give you the power and the health

01:25:55.480 to do it, we have a chance to fight for this.

01:25:58.600 Hopefully we'll win.

01:26:00.560 Jonathan Bass, you're a great American.
