Guests: Bradley Thayer and Jeremiah Regan Host Scot Bertram talks with Bradley Thayer, American Freedom Alliance fellow and founding member of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, about the struggle against global communism and his new book, America's 100 Years' War: How to Win Against Communism. And Jeremiah Regan, executive director of online learning at […]
Modern American politics is commonly framed as a face-off between traditional conservative and contemporary progressive values.Bradley Thayer, author of “America's 100 Years' War,” argues that a closer look at the tactics shaping Western institutions reveals a deeper ideological struggle—one whose roots trace back to Vladimir Lenin.In this episode, Thayer argues that what threatens America today extends far beyond traditional Marxist economics. He says that neo-Leninist strategies actively work to subvert democracy by hijacking civil society, destabilizing Western borders, and replacing individual rights with group identity.Thayer addresses a host of critical questions: How did Soviet political warfare evolve into a privatized network operating within the United States? Why is the Chinese Communist Party best understood as an illegitimate colonial export of Soviet imperialism rather than an authentic Chinese polity? And how can Americans draw upon our founding principles to end this century-long war?Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Democratic socialists for years followed the Marxist maxim of making a long march through the institutions of America in a bid to take power. Now now DSA candidates are surging nationally in a bid to impose socialism through the ballot box. This episode examines the socialists' neo-Leninist plan that includes dissolution of the American system of government and culture. The counterproposal section offers a new vision for solving problems that can actually bring about an ideal society, something communism will never achieve due to its inherent atheism. The news section reveals how the Democratic Socialists of America is now dominated by Marxists, and Marxist-Leninists. For the interview, you'll hear from Bradley Thayer, an expert on communism who has written an important new book, America's 100 Years' War: How to Win Against Communism. Must listening!

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Thankfully, with today's publication of America's 100 Years War: How to Win Against Communism, Dr. Bradley Thayer has offered not only a compelling insight into the history of a toxic ideology, but a call to action against it that can no longer be deferred. A highly regarded academic, national security practitioner and founding member of our Committee on the Present Danger: China, Dr. Thayer has long recognized, warned about and led the intellectual resistance to the metastasizing threat posed by Communists, foreign and domestic. Brad's new book could not be more timely and needed. This fall's elections will see Communists and their jihadist allies making a concerted effort to gain power as Democratic candidates. Republicans must return to their party's roots, born of the abolitionist movement and its defense of freedom, in our time against those that would enslave us all. This is Frank Gaffney.

1. James Fanell discusses China's "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" military exercises, describing them as an "Anaconda strategy" intended to blockade and pressure Taiwan following its presidential inauguration. He and Bradley Thayer argue that Washington's "neo-engagement" policy has failed, allowing the CCP to exert influence over Americaninstitutions. (1)MAY 2 Q939 SHANGHAI
HISTORICAL ECHOES: THE 10-YEAR RULE AND TIANANMEN BLINDNESS Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. The authors draw parallels between current US policy and the British Empire's 1919 "10-year rule," which slashed defense spending based on the assumption of peace, leading to unpreparedness for WWII. Fanell recalls his intelligence experience post-Tiananmen Square, noting the US Navy dismissed the PLA Navy threat while myopically focusing on Russia. Thayer criticizes the US response to the 1989 massacre, where the Bush administration rushed to repair relations rather than recognizing the CCP as a "sadistic monster." They argue this failure to perceive the true nature of the regime allowed China to rise without political reform. FANELL NUMBER 21905 SHANGHAI RIOTS, BRITISH EMPIRE SIKH PATROL
THE ANACONDA STRATEGY AND THE NEO-ENGAGEMENT TRAP Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. Fanell and Thayer discuss the "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises, describing them as an "Anaconda strategy" where the PRC practices suffocating Taiwan through blockades and missile strikes. Thayer argues that despite these overt threats, Washington remains captured by the "neo-engagement school," mistakenly believing that economic engagement can democratize China. They critique "elite capture" within US institutions, noting that the Bidenadministration has largely continued Obama-era policies rather than confronting the reality that the CCP is transforming international norms rather than being transformed by them. FANELL NUMBER 11905 SHANGHAI MIXED COURT
ADMITTING STRATEGIC FAILURE AND THE NEED FOR TEAM B Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. Fanell argues the intelligence community must admit its "strategic failure" regarding China, likening the current denial to a patient ignoring a cancer diagnosis. He asserts that institutional bias protects the status quo. To counter this, they propose creating a "Team B"—independent analysts outside the CIA's "educated elite"—to provide objective threat assessments, similar to the Cold War approach against the Soviets. Thayer advocates moving CFIUS to the Department of Defense to better protect intellectual property and calls for a "whole of society" response that cuts off trade and explicitly recognizes the CCP as the enemy. FANELL NUMBER 31925 SHANGHAI RIOTS
NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION AND ECONOMIC ISOLATION AS DETERRENCE Colleagues James Fanell and Bradley Thayer. To deter immediate Chinese aggression, Fanell advocates for "war fighting proliferation," suggesting the US should support nuclear capabilities for allies like Japan and South Korea because conventional US forces cannot be rebuilt fast enough. Thayer argues for total economic decoupling, urging Washington to cut off trade to exploit Xi Jinping's domestic weaknesses. They propose "political warfare" to isolate the regime diplomatically, treating the CCPas a pariah to encourage internal dissent. They emphasize that the goal is not invasion, but power politics and credible deterrence to change Beijing's calculus without boots on the ground. FANELL NUMBER 41925 DUTCH MARINES PATROL SHANGHAI
Guests: Captain James Fanell (USN Ret.) and Bradley Thayer. Fanell and Thayer discuss the PLA's "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises, describing them as an "Anaconda strategy" designed to suffocate Taiwan following President Lai's inauguration. They argue that despite these overt threats, Washington remains trapped in a failed "engagement school" mindset, believing the PRC could be democratized through trade. Instead, they assert China has transformed U.S. institutions through elite capture, necessitating a shift to a confrontational strategy.
Guests: Captain James Fanell (USN Ret.) and Bradley Thayer. The authors draw parallels between current U.S.policy and the British Empire's 1919 "10-year rule," which underfunded defense and ignored rising threats. They criticize the U.S. response to the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, noting that the Bush administration rushed to re-engage rather than isolate the CCP. Fanell recalls that intelligence agencies remained focused on Russia, failing to perceive the Chinese military buildup as a credible threat until it was too late.
Guests: Captain James Fanell (USN Ret.) and Bradley Thayer. Fanell argues the U.S. must "admit failure" regarding China, likening the situation to a patient acknowledging cancer to begin treatment. To combat "threat deflation" and institutional bias in intelligence, they propose a "Team B" of independent analysts to objectively assess PRC capabilities. Thayer advocates moving oversight of foreign investment (CFIUS) to the Department of Defense and ultimately cutting off all trade to deny the CCP resources and protect intellectual property.
Guests: Captain James Fanell (USN Ret.) and Bradley Thayer. To counter China's conventional superiority, the authors recommend "war fighting proliferation," supporting nuclear capabilities for allies like Japan and South Korea. They advocate for "political warfare" rather than armed conflict, aiming to isolate the CCP economically and diplomatically. By cutting off investment and exploiting Xi Jinping's current economic weaknesses, they propose a strategy to delegitimize the regime and trigger internal change similar to the Soviet Union's collapse.
Marxist-Leninist ideology in China has remained consistent since 1949 with successive dictators adapting Mao's version of communism with new twists and turns. Deng Xiaoping took the greatest departure from Maoism but kept Marxism-Leninism as the state ideology. Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao put their spin on communism, while also maintaining ideological continuity. Under Xi Jinping today, communism in China is experiencing a forced revival within the Chinese Communist Party despite the masses of China's people recognizing it as a failed European ideology deserving of contempt. This episode explains how Xi is reverting to Mao-style totalitarian communism and a more aggressive expansion around the world. For the counterproposal, this episode explains why mere anti-communism is not enough and a new faith-based worldview is the ultimate solution to defeating communism. For the news section, this program addresses how artificial intelligence is being used by the Indo-Pacific command to deter conflict with China. The interview portion hears from Bradley Thayer, an expert on both China and communism.
Joint Sword 2024: China's Anaconda Strategy Against Taiwan and Washington's Persistence in Failed Engagement. Captain James Fanell and Bradley Thayer assert that America must urgently reverse its strategic errors regarding China. Fanell notes that China is currently demonstrating aggression toward Taiwan, announcing two days of "Joint Sword 2024 Alpha" exercises conducted very close to Taiwan, inside the contiguous zone. China is using the recent inauguration speech of Taiwan's new President Lai as the casus belli, claiming his equating Taiwan and China as two separate nations constitutes a move toward independence. Fanell expects the operation to include ballistic missiles fired into closure areas, with China practicing targeting key areas, blockading, and isolating Taiwan. The PRC is employing an "Anaconda strategy," increasing pressure and suffocating Taiwan. Bradley Thayer assesses Washington's response, stating that fundamentally, little has changed despite some rhetorical and policy shifts, as the Biden administration remains influenced by the "engagement school." Thayer attributes the persistence of this flawed framework to the PRC's strategy of "elite capture," spanning Wall Street, the Chamber of Commerce, think tanks, K Street law firms, and Congress.
Dr. Porwancher takes us on a fascinating journey through the hidden influence of James Bradley Thayer, a Harvard Law professor whose mentorship shaped America's legal giants like Louis Brandeis, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Felix Frankfurter. What makes this exploration particularly special is its creation – a collaborative book co-authored with former students, mirroring Thayer's own dedication to mentorship and student development.At the heart of Thayer's legacy lies his philosophy of judicial restraint – the revolutionary idea that unelected judges should defer to democratically elected legislatures except in the most egregious constitutional violations. This principle resonates through generations of American jurisprudence, with Chief Justice John Roberts channeling this very philosophy when he wrote that "it is not the role of this court to save the American people from their political choices." The intellectual lineage from Thayer to Roberts spans just three degrees of separation, demonstrating how profoundly one professor's teachings can echo through centuries of legal thought.What's particularly striking about Thayer's approach is how it transcends partisan politics. His philosophy has been embraced by progressives and conservatives alike at different historical moments, depending on who controls the judiciary. This cyclical pattern reveals a fundamental truth about American constitutional governance – the tension between democratic majorities and counter-majoritarian rights protection. Through vivid stories of Thayer's teaching methods and the almost religious reverence his students held for him, we discover how the formative experiences of young law students eventually shape the monumental decisions that govern our lives and liberties today. Beyond just legal doctrine, this conversation reminds us that behind every Supreme Court opinion lies a deeply human story of mentorship, influence, and intellectual inheritance.
