BIDEN SILENT as Tanks roll onto China’s streets in chilling echo of Tiananmen massacre · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What does it take for the Biden administration to come
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: out and actually say you shouldn't be doing that. I'm
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: referencing now actual tanks rolling into Chinese streets as it
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is a chilling echo of the Tenement Square massacre. GEE
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: is cracking down on what are now being referred to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: as the White Paper protests. Tanks have now rolled out
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: onto all the streets where these protests were happening, clamping
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: down telling people to go home. There is an appearance
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: that many of the cities now are in total lockdown.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: This after video has surface of actual apartment buildings having
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: their doors to the outside world being wielded shut because
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: of COVID. Lockdowns have now lasted for three years. Troops
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: are now on the streets as demonstrators had come out
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: suppressing those demonstrations, prompting many to say this is no
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: different than when the troops were used to brutally suppress
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: demonstrations etinam And Square that famous picture of a man
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: standing in front of a tank refusing to move. Now
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the tanks are rolling through multiple cities and police have
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: been put in full force and several cities including Shanghai,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: which is something that usually doesn't happen now. The protests
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: of tank Man became an iconic symbol of resistance in China.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: There were multiple tanks coming down the street, and there
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: was a man that stood in front of one of
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: those tanks so bravely. Footage of that picture became iconic
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and has inspired people for generations. China understands that, so now,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: what are we seeing? Footage of tanks has been shared
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: over several days of historic protests in China in which
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: demonstrators have waived blank sheets of white paper in the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: symbolic protest against censorship. Hundreds of taking the streets in
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: multiple cities, including now Shanghai and Beijing. Normally you don't
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: see protests in those cities. Why are they protesting? They're
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: protesting after the deaths of ten people in an apartment
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: fire that was blamed on Jee's draconian zero COVID lockdowns,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: China's vast security apparatus now has swung into full action
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: to flood the streets of police and identify those who
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: have taken part in the demonstrations, using the government's power
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of artificial intelligence and everything that they do to actually
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: spy on the people in China. A column of tanks
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: was even spotted in another city, leading fears they could
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: be heading to put down protests in other parts of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the nation that are not heavily guarded by tanks in general.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Popular USA oppression blogger Feng Shi Mien, who shared the video, asked,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: are they going to Shanghai? The city has seen the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: large protests following a deadly blaze at that apartment block.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: The fire broke out on the fifteenth floor and rapidly
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: spread to the higher floors in the city's main building. There.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Furious residents blamed the deaths on the COVID lockdowns, as
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: they said they were only allowed to leave home for
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: short periods each day and the timing was strictly controlled
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: by the local authorities. The protests have seen individual acts
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of heroism, including one woman who stood still as police
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: surrounded her, then stole her phone before beating her in public.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: She has been dubbed the new Tank Lady in honor
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of the unknown tank man who blocked the path of
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Chinese troops following the nineteen eighty nine massacre, and the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Chinese authorities have begun inquiries into some of the people
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: who gathered at weekend protests as police are now rounding
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: them up and they become the new disappeared ones. So
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: what is the Biden administration saying in response to this?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Are they standing with these brave individuals, these brave souls?
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Of course not why. I think it's pretty clear China
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: has compromising information on the President of the United States
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: of America, Joe Biden, because of the business deals and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: in loans that were given to the Biden crime family.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: John Kirby, I'm going to play for you what he
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: had to say when he was asked about China detaining
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: these protesters and rounding them up. But before I get
• 4:37

• 5:52
  Speaker 1: John Kirby is a guy that should stand up for
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: people around the world that are standing up to these
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: types of horrible atross that these taking place against human
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: beings that shouldn't be controversial. John Kirby is a guy
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that is a smart guy who understands that this is
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: one of those moments where his words may actually matter.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So instead of actually standing up for these protesters. This
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: is what the official line of the United States government
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: is from the Pentagon, from the Biden administration about what's
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: happening in China, the US's assessment that these protests we've
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: seen are widespread or are they perhaps more isolated incidents
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that are being amplified by social media. I don't think
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that we know a whole lot more about the geographic location, size,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: scale and scope of them than what you're learning as
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: well through social media and through traditional media. It's not
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: like we have, I think, a finer sense of insight
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and then what's already out there in the public sphere.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: So I don't have a sense of that in that realm.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: The statement you issued or there was issued earlier today
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: didn't include any explicit calls for China to stuff detaining,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: en harming protesters and journalists. We're watching this closely, as
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you might expect we would, and again we continue to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: stand up and support the right of peaceful protests. And
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to watch this closely and we'll
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: see where things go. And we'll see where things go.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: That's all you've got to say. You're not going to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: stand up for these people that are standing up for themselves.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Democratic Center. Warner is actually defending now the Biden administration
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: silence on Chinese protests. Why because they're too afraid of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a quote conflict. So now we don't say things to
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: protect human beings around the world because we're afraid of
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: a conflict. Let me ask you about this, because I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: understand the administration's reticence on not speaking out too openly
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: in front of in favor of the protests, because they
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: don't want China to do what it already does, which
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: is to say, oh, this is a foreign plot and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: you know, instigators from outside the country are causing all this,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: when this is very clearly a grassroots set of protests there.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Do you, though, believe there is something, particularly as China
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: is now cracking down on those protesters, something more that
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the US could or should do to support the Chinese
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: people when they express themselves this way. Well, I think
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: there are things that those of US leaders in the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Senate and the House have a little more flexibility, frankly
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: than the administration. You know this. The administration, particularly after
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the most recent meeting between she and Biden, try to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: have lower some of the tensions. This is a we
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: don't want an active conflict to erupt. I think those
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: of us in the Congress have a little more freedom,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and I think we can push the administration, but as
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: you said, we don't want to feed the propaganda machine
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: rate that turns these protests driven by Chinese people into
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: what the overall message would be to the Chinese people.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And remember that's why I talk about the technology. The TikTok,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: for example, that the Chinese people receive is very different
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: from the TikTok that we receive. As one case, these
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: that are completely owed their allegiance buying laws of the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Communist Party, not their shareholders. So if they are able
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to portray this as kind of an anti Chinese or
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Western plot that undermines the protesters that we're trying to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: stand with, I love that rhetoric here the BS and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: this is total BS from from Center War. Basically he's saying,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: we're too afraid to stand up for these people. You
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: may ask yourself this question, where's the NBA right now? Right?
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Why aren't they standing up? In fact, why isn't anyone
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: standing up and saying, hey, what's happening in China? We
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: stand with the people of China right because China is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: not going to tolerate these protests. They have a serious
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: history of cracking down. Now, there are two obvious answers
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to that question. One you're compromised by the Chinese, which
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I think is very clear that is literally the Democratic
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Party now certainly the Biden administration. Or two you just
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: don't care about what they do these people because you
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: care more about profits and money aka Apple, Nike. The
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: NBA Tugger Carlson had something very interesting to say about that,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: specifically with the NBA. Right the same people that have
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: the you know, Black Lives Matter on the end of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: each of the courts and went all in for social justice,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: just not in China. All right, real quick, let me
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: pause and tell you about our incredible friends over at
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. They are America's only Christian conservative cell phone provider.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: They want to make it easy for you to try
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: switching to Patriot Mobile from whatever service you have right now.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You can give them sixty days to show you why
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I use Patriot Mobile and why you should make the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: switch right now. When you try Patriot Mobile for two months,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you get your third month free, plus you get free
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: activation now. They offer nationwide coverage on the best four
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: G and five G networks, and they use the same
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: exact cell towers of all of the three other major carriers.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: You're gonna get the same coverage you have right now,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: You get the same grade service, you get to keep
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: your same cell phone number if you want to. You
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: can even usually use the same phone you have in
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: your hand right now. Now, why do you want to switch?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: When you do, they actually stand up for a First
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and Second Amendment rights, and they give a portion of
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: your bill every month back to conservative Christian causes that
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: we all believe in. So, if you're ready to support
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a company that's fighting to preserve our God given rights
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: and our freedoms, just go to Patriot Mobile dot com
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson, or
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you can call them nine seven to Patriot. That's nine
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: seven to Patriot. If you're fed up with woke companies
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: that don't care about your values, support a company that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: actually does make the switch today get a free month
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: of service plus free activation Patriot Mobile dot com slash
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: ferguson or nine seven two Patriot. Now, take a listen
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to what Tucker said on his show. It's hard to
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: believe that's real. It is real, and the US Congress
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: has by and large adopted the same posture. Eric Squawell
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: spends a lot of his life yelping about human rights
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: on Twitter, abortion as human rights, and then he said
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: nothing about what's happening tonight in China. We were not
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: able to reach his former girlfriend, the Chinese spy Fang
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: Fang for comment either, unfortunately, nor did we hear a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: word from the NBA commission that would be Adam Silver. Now,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Adam Silver also spends a lot of time yelping about
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: what an authoritarian country this is and threatening the people
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: who live here with punishment. He has no problem threatening
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: American voters in North Carolina, for example, or in Texas
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: who wanted separate bathrooms for little girls. What does he
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: think of killing people for wanting to leave their apartment
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: or throwing people on moss into concentration camps. Well, we
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: decided to find so we emailed this office today to
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: get his view of Chinese concentration camps. What does Adam
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Silver think of that one of our premier moral voices.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: We didn't get a reply. Why is that? Maybe because
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: he has made millions personally in the NBA itself makes
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars in China. So the NBA has no
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: word to say about China throwing its population into concentration camps,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: turning Shanghai into a prison. And in fact, when you
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: ask NBA coaches about civil rights abuses in China, what
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: you get is a lecture about how we're worse. Watch
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it has not come up in terms of people asking
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: me about it, people discussing it. No, nor has our
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: record of human rights abuses come up either. People in
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: China didn't ask me about, you know, people owning a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: or fifteens and mowing each other down in a mall.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I wasn't asked that question. The world is a complex
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: and there's more gray than black and light. Oh so
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: China commits genocide against Muslims and locks down a city
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: of twenty five million people, But we've got the Second
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Amendment and they're pretty much the same. That's the word
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: from Steve Kerr. It's a very famous coach. These people
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: are all on the take from China. The NBA is
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: literally on the take from China, and therefore they will
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: not say a single negative word about their masters. This
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: is not an American league. These are not people who
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: are boiled to the United States. They despise the United States,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: are on the payroll of China. That's true. How is
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it not true? So they can't even criticize children burning
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: alive in a high rise apartment building because the doors
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: have been nailed shut because of COVID, which doesn't actually
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: pose a threat to anybody. So the NBA has taken
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a pass. Eric Swalwell and his Chinese by girlfriend are
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: taking a pass. The White House is taking past State Department,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: MSNBC taking a pass. So, in other words, if you're
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: on the take, you just make crap up, right, just
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: like that famous basketball coach for Golden State, just saying, well,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: they didn't ask me about are fifteen's mowing down people
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and our human rights abuses in America. So everybody calmed down.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: It's China. They give us a lot of money and
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: they make me and Lebron James and all the others
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: really rich. I want to go back to see an
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: end for a second here on this and again next time.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: That's see an in virtue signals on a plethora of
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: issues in the US. Right, They just did this recently
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: on immigration. We you know, we deserve to not have
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: these people waiting in limbo and not sure what they're
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: gonna do. After they break our laws. Well, when you
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: break laws and you break into a country, I'm not
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: really worried about owing you that much. When it comes
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to your nervousness of me kicking you out or not,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I think that should be something we should all agree on. Like,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: if you don't want that nervousness, then do your favor. Okay,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: if you don't want that nervousness that concerned, then again,
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: do us all a favor. Don't break into this country.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And so when they virtue signal on something like that,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: just remind them of their same exact moments that they
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: have on TV when they're talking about actual human beings
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: in China. Jim Shudo, Look, hey, trying to may tolerate
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: the protest now, but they have a history of cracking down. Well,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: thank you for clarifying that for us. True. Here's the thing,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you know, Thorist Terran states they don't admit mistakes right,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: and China's ZEO COVID policy as a failure. They're three
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: years into this pandemic, they have a vaccine that largely
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. They refuse for nationalistic reasons to bring in
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: foreign vaccines. mRNA vaccines that have had greater success. They
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: don't have a healthcare system that could sustain a big
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: increase in illnesses among an aging population. So they're between
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: a rock and a hard place. They can tweak, but
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: they can't really reverse without admitting failure and giving up
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: some control and opening up. And this is just not
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: a government that does that. It's also not a government
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: that will not tolerate sustained descent. They may tolerate this
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: what you're seeing now for some time if it gets bigger,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: if it becomes a genuine threat to well, not threat
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: or challenge to the government, right or the police forces.
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: They've got a history of cracking down. Ivan's in Hong Kong.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Hong Kong had you months and months of protests until
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: China said enough and they cracked down enough, cracked down, right.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: So he's warning you about the Chinese here, while also
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: saying but it completely makes sense for the White House
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to say nothing at all. British Prime Minister declares the
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: golden era between the UK and China over right, this
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: is I guess what good the leadership sounds like. You
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: should be pretty simple. The America should be saying the
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: same thing. Listen to what the Prime minister said moments ago. Now,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: let's be clear, the so called Golden era is over,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: along with a naive idea that trade would automatically lead
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: to social and political reform. But nor should we rely
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: on simplistic cold war rhetoric. We recognize China poses a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: systemic challenge to our values and interests, a challenge that
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: grows more acute as it moves towards even greater authoritarianism.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Instead of listening to their people's protests, the Chinese government
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: has chosen to crack down further, including by assaulting a
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: BBC journalist. Wouldn't it be nice if the leaders in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the United States of America made the same type of
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: comments that were just made by the new British Prime Minister,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: where he just made it clear of who China is,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: our stance on who they are, being honest, intellectually honest
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: about who they are. Meanwhile, we've got a State department
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that refuses to make any type of blunt statement that says, hey, look,
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: we know they're screwing up, we know that they're bad people,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: we know that they don't value human beings. Wouldn't it
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: be nice if we heard that? Wouldn't it be nice.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: If we heard something as basic as that, wouldn't that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: be truly incredible. We're not getting that in this country.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: No, no no, no. Instead, what we are getting is something
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: very different. Instead, what we are getting is something that
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: basically is the opposite of that. And the opposite of
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that is we don't want to take a stance against China.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: There's too much money involved. It's just too much cash, folks.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: We can't have this conversation too much money. You gotta understand,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: when there's this much money to be made, we don't
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: want to rock that boat. We'll take China's dollars or
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: when it comes to our actual foreign policy. The reason
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: why the Prime Minister of the UK can actually come
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: out the way that he just did declaring the golden
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: air between the UK and China is over is because
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: maybe he's not compromised by the Chinese. That could be
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: part of it as well. When you are compromised the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: way that this administration is compromised because of their personal
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: financial dealings with China, and I'm referring directly the Biden
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: crime family, it's very hard for you to stand up
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: for others in China when they own you. China is
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: not stupid. They knew what they were doing when they
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: got into business with Hunter and James and the President
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America, and it wasn't about
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: massive profits for them. It was about control over American policy.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: How much is it worth to have America be silent
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: right now, whether they're cracking down on their own citizens,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Unlike in the UK, where you can just say the truth,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: how much is that worth? Hundred million, two hundred million. Well,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: if you're Chinese and you're the Chinese government, having America
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: be silent when America should not be silent, that may
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: be worth in your mind a billion or two billion dollars,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: because when America leads, usually the rest of the world
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: will follow, and when America doesn't lead, the rest of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the world usually does not follow. I love the UK,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: but the truth is the Prime Minister in the UK
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: A is not going to lead some big grand coalition
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: against China and probably be successful. If America did it
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: with the UK, there's a much better chance that could happen.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: All right, real quick, I want to tell you about
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: my good friends over at Legacy Precious Metals. With the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: economy really an inflation out of control in the stock
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: market taking horrific losses. The NASDAC down more in one
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: month than we've seen back in two thousand and eight
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: was the last time it was this bad. You may
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: be looking at your financial portfolio in your sick to
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: your stomach. You're not alone. The question is if you
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: are not diversified in precious metals as part of your
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: financial portfolio, then what would it look like now? Maybe
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: if you would have been, it's not too late, by
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: the way, to take advantage of gold and silver. It
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: is a hedge against inflation, and it's a way for
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: you to diversify your IRA, your four O one K,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: your investment portfolio. If you've never looked at gold and silver,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: there's actually no better time than right now now. I've
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: been investing in golden silver for gosh, almost twenty years.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: I've used it as a percentage of my strategy to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: protect myself. So on the worst days on Wall Street,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: usually they're not as bad for me as they are

• 22:46
  Speaker 1: wasting no time being a leader on this issue with China.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: He has come out. He was doing an event about
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: infrastructure improvements in Duval County in Florida. He understood that
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: this is the moment to call out China because the
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: world's watching, and if you truly are going to be
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a leader, you need to be a leader win. They're
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: people that are being attacked like they are in China
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: right now, and I want you to hear what he
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: had to say about not just China in general, but
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the justifiable fighting of the people in China have been
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: locked down, with doors nailed shut, doors welded shut because
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: of the draconian, psychotic nature the Chinese regime refusing to
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: allow outside, for example, vaccines to come in, and their
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: vaccine is basically ineffective, so when somebody gets COVID, they
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: shut down the entire community. Still three years later, listen,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: I just want to make a comment about what we've
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: been seeing going on in China. This zero COVID policy
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: is draconian, It violates people's liberties, and it is completely unscientific.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: And the people of China are to be able to
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: speak out and protest against what the Chinese Communist Party
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: is doing. This CCP has a maniacal desire to exert
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: total control over its population. Zero COVID is really just
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: the pretexts for them to do what they want to
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: do anyways, and that is not a model that can
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: work over the long term. The people in China are
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: finally speaking out against it, and I just think we
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: need these draconian COVID policies to go to the asheap
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: of history where they belong. He wasn't done there, by
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: the way. He's also called out Apple for working in
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: China while also threatening to remove Twitter app. Listen to this,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and then as you've seen that go on in China,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: you know, there's reports that Apple is not allowing the
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: protesters to use this air drop function where they're trying
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: to communicate that obvious is providing aid and comfort to
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: the CCP, And so you see that report and that's
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: very concerning. And then when you also hear reports that
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Apple is threatening to remove Twitter from the app store,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: because Elon Musk is actually opening it up for free
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: speech and is restoring a lot of accounts that were
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: unfairly and illegitimately suspended for putting out accurate information about COVID.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: That's like one of the main things that being reinstated.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: So many things these experts were wrong at and you
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: had people on Twitter that we're calling that out and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Twitter the old regime, and Twitter their response was to
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: try to just suffocate the dissent. And Elon Musk knows
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: that's not a winning formula, and so he's providing free speech.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: And so if Apple responds to that by nuking them
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: from the app store, you know, I think that that
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: would be a huge, huge mistake, and it would be
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: a really raw exercise of monopolistic power that I think
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: would merit a response from the United States Congress. And
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: so don't be a vassal of the CCP on one
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: hand and then use your corporate power in the United
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: States on the other to suffocate Americans and try to
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: suppress their right to express themselves. And so I'm glad.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I'm glad things are changing at Twitter, and I know
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of work to do with big tech generally.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: But this is big progress and we're really happy that
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: that is now happening. You know, Governor of Santis, slamming
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Apple for aiding China during these protests, picking aside while
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: threatening to remove Twitter in America is exactly what the
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: White House should also be saying. But they're not center tech, Cruz,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about this more on his
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: podcasts A Verdict with Ta Crew as a co host tomorrow.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: He had this to say a moment ago about the
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: White House's statement on China's zero COVID policy, which which
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: has caused unrest and uprisings to break out across the
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: country as citizens are fighting back. Americans looking for the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Biden administration issue a strong rebuke of the CCP's inhumane
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: treatment of its citizens and some reassurance that these tyrannical
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: policies wouldn't start rearing their ugly heads here in the
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: US while they were disappointed. In a statement, Ted Cruz
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: called it not only tone death but pitiful, quoted a
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: potential historic inflection point. DEM's shill for the CCP pure
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: weakness from the Biden administrations. Biden administration, it's almost as
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: if Biden wishes he was driving a tank and tim
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: and square. That is what Centator Trick Ted Cruz had
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: to say about this a moment ago. Now, I want
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: to also get you update on something else that I
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: mentioned on this podcast yesterday. Democrats, it's just been announced,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: have succumbed to the political reality on this same sex
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: marriage bill in the Senate they were trying to get
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: done in this lame duck session. The Senate's respect quote
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: for Marriage Jack has Progressive arguing that efforts to safeguards
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: same sex marriage remain unfinished after concessions were made to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Republicans demands for bolstering religious liberty protections. Now, the bill
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: is that currently stands would officially repeal the Defensive Marriage
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Act and require state recognition of legal same sex and
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: interracial marriages, but would not codify the Supreme Courts twenty
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: fifteen ruling that legalized same sex unions Nation one and
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: prevent the High Court from eventually overturning the landmark decision.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: It would be great if the bill went further, but
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: we don't have the vote for the bill to go further,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: is what Senator Brian Schats, a Democrat from Hawaii, said,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: moments ago, he was speaking during a Senate Appropriation Subcommittee
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: on Commerce, Commerce, Justice, and Science and Related Agencies hearing
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: on Capitol Hill. He said at the time, I think
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: it's an enormously important first step, and I don't think
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: there are any guarantees that the Supreme Court will not
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: overturn the precedent they set recently. It is important to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: protect the rights of same sex couples across the country,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: is what they claimed. Now this bill actually doesn't have
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: that much to do with the same sex marriages. She
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: would actually could be used to attack conservative Christian and
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: religious organizations, which is part of the reason why there
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: was an amendment put in there to make sure by
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Mike Lee. We talked about this on this show, we
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: talked about on Vertic with Ted Cruz as well, and
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: it was an important peace an amendment that was put
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: in there to protect re aigious institutions. Now what we're seeing,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the Senator Mike Lee was able to force the Upper
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: Chamber to delay a procedural vote on the bill this
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: month until ten PM after he was unable to win
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: necessary support for his amendment to further strengthen the religious
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: liberty provisions. They shouldn't be able to punish religious beliefs
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Lee said on the Senate floor before that vote on
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: November the sixteenth. That's all I want a protection, saying
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: the federal government name may not punish any individual or
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: entity based on a religious or moral conviction based belief
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: about marriage. That is not too much to ask, Lee said,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: ask questions during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing about it,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: and a by Parson amendment was then introduced by senators
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: to seek to address some of the concerns by reaffirming
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: religious liberty and conscience protection guarantees under the US Constitution
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: and existing federal law and clearing the respect for Mary
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Jack will not authorize the recognition of polygamous marriages either.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Centators including Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat from Wisconsin, and Rob Portman,
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: a Republican from Ohio, are hoping the added religious protection
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: will win over Republicans still in the fence when the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: measure is brought up for a final vote this week.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: The good news here is this is clearly becoming an
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: issue for the Democrats and we should protect religious liberties
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: at all costs. Now, is it totally done? Could things change? Yes?
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Things could change. I'm going to keep you update on this,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: just so you know. One other side note here former
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: Department and Security Disinformations are that crazy woman at a
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Jenkowitz remember who is at the White House and singing
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: about COVID. That crazy woman has officially registered as a
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: foreign agent. Yes, she now as registered as a foreign agent,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: goes to work for the Psycho's overseas. It's amazing. You

• 32:11
  Speaker 1: to lead the Department of Home Insecurities Disinformation Government's board,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: gets fired from that job. She only lasted three weeks there.

• 32:24
  Speaker 1: registered as a foreign agent so that she can combat
• 32:27
