and the sound like saying he understands that this is all an attempt by china to replace us in a new world order. but do you think joe biden firmly understands the threats to america's position atop the world hierarchy? >> no, just look at their strategy. even the natural cybersecurity is all lined up with a lot of the woke ideology that the secretary of navy said, the claimant was the biggest enemy of the united states. they say one thing but also what they were doing tells us another story. >> ashley: obviously when the people of ukraine and anyone involved in this conflict against russia, when they hear of the meeting like this, they will be a little nervous, to say the least. what do you think the rest of the world, especially the u.s. be thinking right now? should they be worried? >> absolutely. all it does is strengthen the

deal between russia and china. we need to be worried about -- i'm telling you everybody thinks socialism has this nice, fun thing. as someone who escaped from communism myself, i can tell you right now the communists will stop at nothing to get power. we just saw a bunch of billionaires disappear and just told us, hey, be bold. and disappears. jack disappeared for a little bit. a lot of billionaires disappear when they don't agree with xi jinping. >> todd: north korea tell in their country kim jong un to prepare after launching a nuclear attack on south korea to deter war. kim jong un said the nuclear force of dp or k will control and manage their reckless moves of provocations with high war readiness to carry out important mission without hesitation in case of any unwanted situation. look, we have seen north korea in the past when the world's

attention go somewhere else. they were always like, hey, look at us. do you view this typical north korea bluster or is this a real threat? >> but is absolutely, north korea and iran, these are proxies of china and russia. little brother who do their bidding. so, anything the koreans or dooming takes attention off of what china is doing in the south china sea and anything arena hands are doing will take away from what the russians are doing. so we will be worried about all four factors. >> look what happened in afghanistan and what followed. russians invasion of ukraine. following that, we start to see chinese spy craft over the u.s. we have kim jong un so everyone has called this, our adversaries, senior weakness. do you think this is a direct link to the biden administration and their lack of aggression towards all of these issues?

"i want to make it clear i believe strongly in defunding the police and reducing the number of officers on our force." in the same twitter thread, they attacked the mayor for not proposing significant cuts to san francisco's police budget and reduction in number of officers. you can't make this up. in the meantime san francisco police numbers into claimant

have no idea. >> ashley: you work the academy with the new recruits, would be police officers. did you see a decline in the type of officer that wanted to be with the police department? tell us what you saw. >> we see it all the time and the training staff, we were being told also so we had to lower the standards. if you look across the border, anybody from the range staff to fire a weapon or told to change their times. we were changing the standards and push up like we are not getting a lot of women so let's change the push up standard to get more women involved. not that not having women is a good thing but consistently the standard was being lowered. the academy when i got hired in 2013, we were running five academies a year with 50 plus applicants. now, they are lucky to run three a year with filth that academy with 20 applicants. the applicants that they are

getting are absolutely atrocious. >> ashley: the fact they are lowering the standard for physical fitness, mental fitness, that is not good for police officers. how long did you see this decline for? >> at least over the last five years. you have to remember, these are the same department that fired myself and many others for being unvaxxed. they lost 40-80 officers over five plus years. right now the department has 90% of them are two to three years on. it is a very junior for a spear they lost a good amount of us that were veteran cops ftos training others in the department. they lost that for some ridiculous mandates. you see people like ronan backtracking because the politicians, they all wear masks. they forget what mess they were wearing two to three years ago and they change their tune. >> ashley: i started talking to the nerves she has that there are no officers that can respond to the neighborhood when she was

one, backing to defund them. so, my question, when you saw this come out and you saw undocumented people who were police officers and you got fired because you didn't want to get a vexing, how did that make you feel? >> i mean, it is just honestly, i smile at this point. it is the irony of the pd. they were people wanted by the fbi and they still hire this person and it wasn't like later in the background backed out after this person in the academy was routed out by another department. and then they actually finally kick this person out. there is countless stories like this. >> ashley: and went by the fbi, somebody that was a police officer in the academy? >> there was somebody -- i can't remember exactly, but someone want to buy the fbi or was on

the fbi terrorism hitless and that person still made it through background, made it to the academy until later that person was removed. there are stories like this, countless stories like this. >> ashley: how dangerous not only for you guys? these would potentially be your partners on the street but really for the community when they don't have adequate background checks and you don't know who these people are. talk how dangerous that is for you guys and the community. >> it is very dangerous because as a police officer, you put your life and hands in the hands of another person. there has to be a lot of trust and integrity. one of the biggest key components when hiring or going through the academy is trust and integrity. again, i can think of a story right now where a training officer actually caught some recruit and a light and says, this guy needs to go, but up the paperwork. well, we are hurting for numbers and so when it comes to integrity, you don't catch the

scent the academy, guess what? you will see that manifest on the street and scandal on the news that this police officer didn't do this and i don't want to save the good ones but the people that have higher standards and morals are not surprised. we are shaking your head saying, we could have told you that. but you are letting this behavior continue. so, it is terrible. i wouldn't want to be a san francisco resident right now. it is a terrible time. >> ashley: really quickly before let you go, if the rules change, would you go back?
