it's pretty much the ccp's guy. let's face it, he canceled china initiative, he's considering removing the tariffs on chinese imports. we don't have any pushback whatsoever about the massive amounts of fentanyl that is coming into this country. it's made in china. and of course the covid-19 so do you think that xi jinping and the ccp have something on joe biden and that's why he keeps rolling over for china because he won't call them an adversary, just a competitor. >> i think it's a legitimate concern. it's what senator grassland and i tried to warn america about in september 2020 when we issued our report showing the vast web of foreign financial entanglements and we certainly saw hunter biden's laptop come through and it's stunning. it's just not shocking but outrage yous that we now learn that the fbi had a scheme to down play any derogatory information on hunter and basically end the investigation. we know the fbi had hunter's computer back in december of 2019. what have they done with it? they certainly were n

she was supposed to travel there but the ccp is warning her not to.iting national security concerns but she said it's important to show the country that america supports taiwan's independence this after president biden cast doubt on her travel plans earlier this week saying that the military thinks, quote, it's not a good idea right now. joining right now the heritage foundation president kevin roberts, kevin, great to have you this morning, thank you so much for being here. isn't it interesting that the ccp threatens nancy pelosi not to go to taiwan and then joe biden says the military says it's not a gad idea. -- good idea. what do you think is going on here? >> well, i think interesting is a very terrible word and it's disappointing that the president didn't respond this way. he needed to say thank you speaker pelosi for willingness to do this and the in fact, that nancy pelosi thinks we need to be more vocal and the president needed to go himself and the president of the united states should have responded from the threat of the ccp our arch rival

ccp is anti-religion entity.ently, anything that religion promotes, teaches, goes on the face of the ccp ideology. that's why they use the terminology, just transformation to force people to become an atheist, force people to give up their way of life, force people to give up their religious beliefs. and now we only know the most brutal version of depression has happened to the uighurs. but it begs the question who would be the next. so the international community as well as the chinese individuals on the ground, need to pay attention to the ccp policy, specifically going after vulnerable religious ethnic groups. >> i agree with bob fu, these people are endangered. the chinese have gone into places that nobody thought they would ever go in and all of a sudden they pick them up and they take them away and they're never seen again. so clearly, i'm speaking out for myself, not for the commission, there ought to be an effort to allow them to come to the united states to south korea is one of our great allies. we love

assume that the ccp already has that.kid who has a tiktok account or young adult, the ccp, the chinese communist party will know our teenagers and our young people better than we will. when we talk about the conflict coming between us and china, it won't be necessarily a kinetic conflict, it will be a cyber one and a they're going to have the upper hand. maria: yeah. and the other issue is what do they do with this information, right, jason? i've spoken with so many experts who studied china for so long, they feel that there is a potential for blackmail, later on. you've got all this data on kids. you don't know what they're doing. later on, if any of those people become in a position, get to a position where the ccp wants to take them down, they can use the information against them. >> well, you're exactly right. and think of these young people. say they're maybe 17, 18, maybe early 20s. ten or 15 years from now if they themselves rise to elected office, the chinese will know exactly what their predictive behaviors are g

they are directed by the ccp -- >> that's right.ften are just a mouthpiece for the communist party. >> you're right about that. they are mouthpiece. and we know that the chinese communist party is intent on this malign influence campaign that they are carrying out against elected officials. last fall we were informed that they were carrying out one against me. the fbi is following these, doj should be paying more attention to these, but you see what they were doing against abe and against the japanese government and the abe policies. the economic policy, his opposition to china. so this is a form of their, as they call it, soft propaganda. they are seeking to influence not only the japanese people, but the u.s. people. they are seeking to break down not only the japanese institutions, but u.s. institutions. and the more we have done to close down confucius institutes and classrooms and sister city programs, the more they're pushing to get their people into the country, many of them illegally as governor abbott was just talking about

they do not with the see the ccp leverage the weapon against them.n right now. a lot of this competition is playing out not just in the military domain but the economic and financial domain. maria: it feels like joe biden tiptoes on the cdp every day. look, i do not understand how this could happen. it wouldn't happen in china, that i can tell you for sure. they had deemed certain off-limits to foreigners but they will not allow informant to buy anything near any air force base that is for sure. and how china issued a warning to house speaker nancy pelosi after pelosi reportedly outlined her plan visit taiwan next month. that ccp says it will take resolute and forceful measures if she goes to taiwan. and then you've got president biden sang the u.s. military thanks he potential trip is not a good idea right now. what is he doing playing right into what they're saying? why can't nancy pelosi go to taiwan? >> apparently the coercion is work on the president of the united states this is in contradiction to the purpose of the taiwan travel act which sets

ccp is anti-religion entity. inherently anything that religion promotes goes in the face of the ccp ideology. that's why the use of terminology the transformation to force people to become natives, to give up their way of life, force people to give up the religious beliefs.y now we only know the most brutal version of depression the top winto the uighurs but it begs e question who would be the next. the national community as well as the chinese individuals on theo ground need to pay attentn to the ccp policies specifically going after religious ethnic groups. >> i agree with bob, these people are endangered the chinese these people are going to places that nobody thought they would go in and they picked them up and they take them away and they're never seen again, clearly i'm speaking up and not commission and to come to the united states south korea is one of the great allies, wet love south korea. one day it could be sunday next week or sunday and three months, all of a sudden they come in in the chinese are ac

obviously after covid was hurled at america and the world and that ccp tried to cover it up, the ccpere. and joe biden what are they doing in the midterms? >> this is something we are all concerned about. let's face it china has technological advantage in a lot of variance. the fact they produced all of our semi conductors. so many of our technological devices are made in china. that is a problem. we found evidence in the past that china has tried to compromise the in that pentagon so that rules and laws to prevent china from having any type of ownership in any of the parts manufacturers to anything in the united states. this is gone unchecked for so long. china has so many irons in the fire with respect to our technology and america. we had to make sure that when we have elections we have a paper trail. and that when the government issues or the state issues absentees for example there is a tight grip on who actually gets an absentee that someone who actually requested. we have seen some good reforms in a lot of things for the fact that china trying to influence elections through so

this is what can happen by sharing your data with the ccp.le with sharing data. it's a value exchange, they get nor targeted advertisement, what are they going to do to me. people aren't afraid, especially young people. they don't understand how it can be used against them later, whether you're a person of influence or whether you're a person doing business, they can get into your e-mails, find out what kind of things you're exchanging across the board, all of the things they can get access to by this permission. it's about giving your data to china rather than specifics, people don't understand what they're up against. maria: that's the point. we need to have this communicated by the commander in chief but instead joe biden continues to call china a competitor as opposed to an adversary. >> well, admittedly, as i wrestle with this myself, i'm not sure which is worse giving my data to tiktok which gives it to the communist party or give urge it to facebook, apple, i don't know what they do with it. this is something -- maria: they're trying t

this after the ccp global state media threatened that the ccp could shoot down can nancy pelosi's planee massaged the wording. employees -- pelosi did not specify if she'll go to taiwan in her most recent press release. joining me now to discuss how this trip was managed and the threat of communist china is former director of martial intelligence john ratcliffe. john, good afternoon to you. thanks very much for become being here this morning. >> great to be with you, maria. maria: especially on very important subject that you will be all -- have been all over for several years, first in congress, then as director of national intelligence. your thoughts on trip of nancy pelosi's and how it was managed. will she go to eye wan? does she -- taiwan? does she need to? >> at this point she does need to go for the sake of our national security so that the american people see that the chinese communist party is not the one dictate thing american foreign policy, that it is the american government doing that. but the biden administration publicly talking about it ahead of time and then not backing

that their business model the technology sharing even certain degree investment or connected to the ccp in in one instance. the the author mentioned that the new walk to ifly tech lobby. there's a slogan said we rule china today. we will rule the child the world tomorrow. so that's their ambition quite a slogan. yeah, quite a threat. yes. it's a threat so so i think that the american people are gradually waking up because our government in biparts and spirit doing something right about this particular issue, but i worry that the eastern central european countries even some western european countries are still not really appreciating the magnitude seriousness of the problem that we dealing with. i want to get into some of a stories that you spend so much of your book on especially stories about about women you really give so much attention to what what women have suffered. can you pick maybe one or two of the women that you wrote about and talk about what happened to them, especially as women in the camps and also outside of the camps. i had the pleasure to work with that. we were camp s

we lost in iraq, we lost in afghanistan, the ccp's on the march throughout asia, things are going tothe united states has an economic system and military that once again strikes fear into the hearts of our enemies. that means the current establishment must be defeated and that a new era of patriotic leadership that actually tries to advance u.s. interest must take its place. joining now is retired army colonel and senior columnist at town hall. gordon chan, gates stone institute senior fellow and author of "the great u.s. china tech war." the u.s. is losing its grip on it superpower status in part because of the woke of our country and schools. is this being done on purpose? >> laura, i tend to think people might be reasonable and anticipated consequences of their actions. they've taken the military which was the most powerful in the world, the united states military. i was there. in 100 hours, three american forces annihilates an entire army. then we kind of gave up. we haven't had an unequivocal victory in about 30 years like that. do they intend to make us weak? what they intend t

now the ccp can order us around? where we can travel? this is how weak we are in biden administration? >> yes we negotiated ourselves into terrible corner here. i mean reality look i am very worried. i mean admin station saying china priority that's not you will e. i am not favor defense spending but if we are not going to make real changes department and make more efficient make it a true war fighting force to avoid war i mean you pointed to ads when we go back and watch top gun it is why do we have military? we have fitted mean wars what are we doing? the president redoubling middle east. they increase europe and chinese my concern laura we are -- there kind of false sense here there has been plenty symbolism. president defense on three times over the course of this program. the question whether we can do it? i think we are in moment of real danger we have got to it be even approaching serious as chinese are and that's not where we are. drone shows you small but very telling example. >> well we are sending you know hundreds and hundred

the ccp couldn't ask for a better scenario. a hobbled u.s.resident who they already have in their back pocket. it's like taking candy from a memory care patient. well, smartly, prominent republicans are speaking out supporting pelosi's trip. this could be a rare moment of bipartisan. >> speaker pelosi should absolutely go forward with her trip to taiwan. she might want to consider adding a prominent republican like kevin mccarthy the house republican leader to show the bipartisan support that exists in this country for taiwan. >> laura: now, refusing to bow to the people who you slave labor to make t-shirts and flip flops would be the smartest political move nancy pelosi has ever made. yeah, maybe ever. the only question is, will she let herself be talked out of it by a bunch of nervous fellies ins the defense department? now, biden already tipped his hand about what he thinks. >> mr. president, do you think it's a good idea for speaker pelosi to travel to taiwan this summer? >> well, i, i, i think that the military thinks it's not a good ide

can they say no, no ccp member has ever seen nonpublic u.s. data. >> i'm having a little bit of a hard time squaring what you're saying which is this vast surveillance mechanism that could be used by china as a trojan horse with the fact most people just use this app for fun in order to see what their friends are doing or fun places they might want to travel to. do you think it's hard to get your message through to the american people because the app is used as an entertainment vehicle? >> it's popular. some people have said, brendan, you just can't dance and that's why you're not happy about pick tok and they're right i can't dance but wrong about the national security threat. if you look at the national u.s. security agencies they have prohibited tiktok on their devices, military branches on their devices, government officials warned the families of u.s. troops not to use it. india has banned the application, so there's serious concerns above and beyond my own. >> is the message getting through to the average user? >> i think so. people are

so we do not believe the ccp regime anymore. now the whole whole goal is for the ccp, the bay j regime to step down. not going back to how it was not going back to its promises. we don't trust this regime anymore. british prime minister boris johnson said the u. k was not giving up on hong kong and would do all it could to hold china to its commitments. do you believe that china cares what the u. k. and it's international partners who would like to see happen in hong kong. china has grown very arrogant and because of its economy power, for sure. but then i think the international pressure is still something of some pressure to beijing. that's why when, when you as is imposing sanctions and other countries like may follow suit, it can have a huge impact on the chinese economy. so i would still say when hall homeless panels speak from hong kong for the international community. i hope that it will continue to speak to hong kong, freedom and democracy, and that will be very helpful for home future. ted we exiled activist in adelaide

the ccp is on the march throughout asia. things are going to continue until the united states has an economic system and military that once again strike fear into the hearts of our enemies and that means that the currentm establishment must be defeated and that a newew era of patriotc leadership that actually tries to advance us interests must take its place. me now is retired army colonel kurt schlichter. he's also a senior columnist att town hall and author of will be back the fall and rise of america and gordon chang, wetstone institute senior fellow and author of the great us china tech war. >> kurt, let's start with you because more than anything the u.s. is losing its grip on superpower status in part because of the locus of our military and the destruction of patriotic education in our schools. do you think this is being done on purpose? well, i tend to think that people like the the reasonable anticipated consequences of their actions. they'veci taken the military, which was the most powerful in the world, the united

is the ccp trying to kill us off?spondent peter doocy pressed white house press secretary karine jean-pierre on the same thing yesterday, watch this. >> did president biden ask president xi anything about getting to the bottom of the origins of covid. >> so, on the origins of covid, the two presidents did discuss health security and trans a parent sigh is part of -- transparency. >> did he ask if the chinese were trying to infiltrate the federal reserve over the last several years. >> we don't have anything to share on that. maria: nothing to share? the biden administration is saying that the two leaders discussed economic practices but the u.s. tariffs on chinese goods was not a specific topic brought up. which i doubt. your thoughts? >> i think this is also a difficult time to do diplomacy at this moment because we are only p months away from the 20th party congress where the chinese president xi jinping is set to take on the very unconventional third five-year term so the last thing i think the chinese president wa

why what do you see in terms of ccp involvement in america?n. but what i have come to learn is that for this administration, it is just easier to tush turn mind eye allow status quo forward rather than address serious pressing issues for american people this is an issue about national security and does need to be addressed which is why we are pressing this effort. maria: okay, we will leave it there, senator good to have you this morning thanks very much. >> thank you so much. >> senator joanie ernst in d.c. a quick break then watching federal reserve after ecb raised interest rates this morning fers time over a decade what economic advisers are expecting next week from july meeting of federal reserve will it be 75 basis points or higher? next. . ♪♪ . i will be there ♪♪ ♪ and ♪ if you shop at walmart, you get it. ♪ you save on what you need without skimping on the things you love. ♪ you know how to spend a little less to get a little more to make life a little better. hi, my name's steve. ♪ i lost 138 pounds on golo to make life a little bette

when people don't make that distinction, they play exactly in to the ccp's agenda that somehow these are anti-chinese activities. they are not. they're activities against the government of china and particularly the communist party of china. the semiconductors often called chips are the backbone of our modern lives. they can be found with literally anything with an on and off switch, from cars and trucks to washers and dryers to smartphones and laptops. chips are an essential component in so many of the devices we use today. the growth in chips is going to be exthennal -- exponeial. devices connected to the internet, autonomous driving would be one example. for every connection, there is a sensor, most of those requiring a semiconductor chip. unfortunately for -- looking backwards for many years american semiconductor companies led the world in both design and manufacturing of this critical technology. but the truth is our leadership has languished. in recent years we continue to lose ground, particularly not just to china but to east asia markets in total. as a country we've gone fr

assigned legislation to crack down on the influence from states including the ccp. to make sure we are cutting ties so we are not funding the number 1 adversary. >> todd: and dean, as you know, this is not just china. they spent 31% of their money in california, 10% new york, 7% in florida, 5% oklahoma in total just year on year spent over $6 billion buying up u.s. land from april last year to this past march. you understand this, dean, explained to us the problems this could cause. >> will, to begin to us because chinese is a food importer they are buying farmland in hopes to make sure they will be able to access food supplies, food imports. of course, if that means leaving american short, they are not particularly concerned about that. if you show up like the chinese can with billions of dollars and just start buying up food, you are going to start altering food prices and the united states. but the other thing to keep in mind, as the chinese by this land, often it is adjacent or very close to sensitive u.s. government specifically u.s. military installations. we

meanwhile, the ccp. here now is daniel turner founder of power of the future.eep saying this is beyond disturbing, the words don't capture this at this point. tell us why this matters, there is also a biden connection? >> this is disturbing on multiple levels, the president told us he was releasing these reserves to lower the price of gas nationally and then you find out that he threw secretary grant and the department of energy is selling them on the world market and selling them to the communist chinese. we are selling our strategic raw materials, our strategic reserves to the communist country who is our adversary and then you find out one of the companies brokering this deal, one of the top investors is of course hunter biden. the president's crackhead son is invested in the company that is buying our strategic reserves while we are paying more than $5 a gallon at the pump. if we had an impeachment hearing about a phone call with donald trump and president zelenskyy, if this doesn't cause jerry nadler and adam schiff to ask some questions and for congress t

i thinkni the problem is , is these companies have ties to the ccp and it's not always apparent on the face of whatever company is doing. ue butnc i think it's a hugee problem, the influence that they have now. what wen have done in florida, i've signed legislation to crack down on undue influence from rogue states, including the ccp. so, for example, we banned confucius institutes in the state of florida. they try to go in higher education and they try to spread the propaganda. so we've taken good steps. we're also probably going. to do legislation next legislative session about our pension investmentst with things that may be linked to the tpp. wean don't necessarily have a lt of it, but we want to make sure that we're cutting ties so that we're not funding our numberly one adversary. does that also apply to the chinese students here in the united states? mike pompeo has spoken extensively about the three hundred sixty thousand chinese students who are in our universities, both undergraduate and graduate. you have a problem with that? i think that there t are there is cause for conce

as a matter fact people don't make that distinction they play exactly into that ccp's agenda, that somehow these are all simply anti- chinese activities but these are not. these are activities against thi government of china and the communist party of china. bring some semi conductors, often called chips are the backbone of our modern lives. they can be found with the literally anything with annd on and off switch in cars and trucks, to washers and dryers, to smart phones and laptops. chips are an. essential componet in so many of the devices we use today. the growth in chips is going to be exponential. many have talked about the whole notion of the internet requires devices that are connected to the internet obviously, autonomous driving would be one example. for every connection most of those require a semiconductor chip. and unfortunately looking backwards for many years s american semiconductor companies lead the world in both design and manufacturing of this critical technology. but the truth is, our leadership has languished. in recent years we continue to lose ground. not just to ch

and what is the ccp's overall agenda here?ee the worst catastrophe of the 20th century was the collapse of the soviet union. both of these countries oppose the united states, both of these countries see it in their respective best interests to work together to frustrate the u.s. in the case of beijing, they also understand in some ways a lot better than either you putin or even joe biden that economics and money is what makes the world go round. so the chinese are still buying russian oil, they're buying russian minerals and oil price cap on russian gas actually serves beijing's interest because they will happily scoop up russian oil and below market prices. maria: as it continues to pursue global domination from sri lanka, throughout asia and a throughout the west and potentially brazil. the list is long. now you've got nasa administrator bill nelson expressing concern about chinas' space program and that the ccp's potentially landing on the moon and boxing other countries out from exploring the moon, dean. your take? >> the

maria: senator, real quick before you go, we were just talking about the ccp trying to infiltrate u.sto sway congress. who do you think is in the ccp's pocket, and a state supreme court has ruled that the wisconsin ballot drop boxes are illegal. are you worried about the upcoming election, and what can you tell us about what's going on this in wisconsin right now? >> well, what happened many wisconsin in the last election was over $10 million -- [inaudible] 85% of that was given to five cities. they basically took over the green bay elections system. the clerk resigned because she was overwhelmed by this. zuckerberg's political hack, their political operative had the key to the ballot room. gee, i wonder what could go wrong there, you know? wisconsin election commission issued guidances that were contrary to state law, and yet that's all being covered up. you can't even talk about this or else you're engaged in conspiracy theories. no, there are some real problems. we're going to do everything we can to be watching what the wisconsin election commission is doing particularly in these

click send out real quick before you go we were talk about the ccp trying to infiltrate u.s.ss. who do you think is in the ccp's pocket and a state a supreme cot has ruled the wisconsin ballot drop boxes are illegal. are you worried about the upcoming election? what can you tell us about what is going on wisconsin right now? >> what happened in wisconsin the last election was over 10 million bucks a zuckerbucks. esit was given to five cities. basically took over the green bay election system the clerk resigned she's overwhelmed by this zuckerberg's a political hack for their political had that key to the absentee ballot room gee i wonder what could go wrong there. should guidances country to w state law all been covered up you cannot talk about this or else you're engaged in conspiracy there is there some real problems are going to do everything we can to be watching what the commission is doing. with the election clerks are knowing particularly in these democrat strongholds. americans wisconsin is deserved to have confidence in the integrity of the election right now they do

joe biden has shown no evidence that he understands the threat of the ccp.l property theft. in fact, just the opposite. he actually eliminated the china initiative which was the initiative that the doj was indicting people who were steeling intellectual property. by the way, costing american companies $600 billion a year at a minimum. we're talking about this this morning. why is it that we have not heard one hearing in the congress over this? not one. okay. kevin mccarthy is going to come on the show today. i want to ask him what's wrong with republicans. why aren't we seeing more action against the ccp and its efforts against this terrible agenda. what can the gop do right now with now 106 days away from the midterm elections. we're getting it into with ro khanna, california congressman. he'll answer the question of who is taking responsibility for the failed climate change agenda which has caused inflation and incredible new costs for america and then of course there is the issue in plain sight and that is joe biden's mental capacity. dr. ben carson is he

the ccp has said that it wants to become the number 1 super power.s that unwitting investors are investing in may very well turn around and act against the united states interest. chinese etf's are attracting billions of dollars right now as any fear of any regulatory pressure is subsiding after beijing's economic soar vice premier louis he signaled government support for the chinese market last month. china stocks rallied to the best month in the last year and a half, jonathan. so what should investors be thinking and how should this narrative impact investors who may very well be expanding the communist china by investing in these stocks? >> that is what's going on and that's exactly what we are doing. we are giving them the capital, the technology and access to our market in such a way that's contributing to growth and these are the main reasons that china is growing, is their access to essentially the world's democracies as markets and the sources of capital and until we are going the take action on that and there's been a little bit but not enou

uh, ideas, enpina, we are getting ready for the 20th ccp congress xitinping himself came to this event that the main idea of ​​the 20th cpc congress will be to prepare a program for the development of china for the next 5 years, including a decade ahead with the thesis that this is the most important most decisive period for to achieve the intended goal of china's modernization to. well, china's complex modernization at the heart of 2035 in 2035, china plans to complete the socialist modernization of the economy. to do this, its economic and scientific and technical power, as well as comprehensive capabilities, should significantly increase the total volume of the economy and the average per capita income, the urban and rural population will increase markedly, and the gap in living standards will be significantly reduced. it is assumed that by 2035 gdp per capita will reach level developed countries, and the economy will get stronger due to the informatization of urbanization and industrialization of a new type, by this time the rule of law, government and society should be finally for

thing an event or a very important event that is coming at the end of the year is the congress of the ccpto be small announcements of the extension of the powers of the si, there is a feeling that right now this event may be more important for world politics than there, i don’t know, the presidential elections in the united states or there any revolutions what's next after the congress? i liked the idea about the revolution. hmm, a book by one roger garsoad came out last year called the chinese revolution the great leap forward is free. and, well it's a british ex diplomat. now he is a financier, uh, who, in the genre of some kind of futuristic alternative history , described, uh, the coup that will take place in beijing before the 20th congress of the ccp, uh, that is, in fact . this is such a genre of alternative history, it has a right to exist. i was just a little surprised that this book was published by a university publishing house, that after all, well, reputable universities, well, how would a few great britain like this, in my opinion california and the idea, then, how, well, th
