Podcasts about Chinese Communist Party

The Chinese Communist Party has been paying off key figures in the United States to do the regime's bidding. Recently declassified intelligence reports show the regime was paying people to push propaganda to undermine the image of the president and the United States as a whole, as well as to divide the country, and to push narratives favorable to the CCP. And new reports are giving more details on how these operations may have been carried out.We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

An explosive new primetime address from Donald Trump has shattered the mainstream media's election narrative, exposing what may be the most sophisticated foreign interference operation in American history. In this must-watch episode, Joe connects the dots between Trump's latest speech and newly declassified Department of Homeland Security documents. The revelations are staggering: foreign adversaries, specifically the Chinese Communist Party, are accused of manufacturing fake driver's licenses for non-citizens to generate fraudulent mail-in ballots, with a jaw-grabbing 250,000 non-citizens already identified on voter rolls across just four reviewed states.We dive deep into the evidence the establishment tried to bury, featuring crucial footage and insider analysis you won't see anywhere else. From Raul's video detailing how a massive bank fraud scheme evolved into the wholesale theft of American identities sold to China, to Secretary Mullen's chilling warnings about how foreign entities can access and alter voting machines, we lay bare the mechanics of a compromised system. We also confront the institutional betrayal head-on, contrasting FBI Director Chris Wray's 2020 Russia deflections with the hard intelligence he was sitting on regarding active CCP meddling.While the left-wing media attempts a coordinated blackout and partisan figures scramble to run damage control, we show you exactly what they are so terrified of. Watch as we dissect the frantic, gaslighting reactions from Gavin Newsom, Raphael Warnock, and Colorado's own establishment defenders. This isn't just about exposing the "most secure election in history" myth—it's about the imminent push for real, legal accountability and prosecutions.

In a primetime address to the nation on July 16, President Donald Trump announced bombshell findings that reveal the Chinese Communist Party compromised U.S. voter data and weaponized American journalists and corporations. The White House released previously classified intelligence files that show China has gained access to voter roll data across 18 states.“Tens of millions of voters' data in 18 states have been bought, stolen, or hacked by China. Yet those responsible for sounding the alarm instead kept the information secret and hidden,” Trump said.NTD hosts a panel with former CIA operative J. Michael Waller and Rick Fisher, a senior fellow at the Asian Military Affairs International Assessment and Strategy Center, to discuss what was revealed in the newly declassified files and China's actions in the 2020 U.S. election.The day after Trump's speech, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced that states could lose funding if they do not purge their voter rolls of potentially ineligible voters and noncitizens.A Florida hospital has become the nation's first to sign on to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s “Make Hospital Food Healthier” pledge. The campaign aims to make nutrition a core part of patient care to aid recovery and improve outcomes.

Last night, the President of the United States addressed the nation to disclose previously classified evidence of enemies, both foreign and domestic, colluding to sabotage the 2020 presidential election.  Particularly egregious is the Chinese Communist Party's unrestricted electoral warfare aimed at terminating Mr. Trump's presidency and replacing him with Joe Biden, who has accurately been described as a “controlled asset” of the CCP.  Even more shocking are the findings of multiple official investigations that revealed intelligence and law enforcement agencies' complicity in concealing such evidence from the Commander-in-Chief and his senior subordinates with a need-to-know of these enemy attacks and cover-ups.  President Trump deserves great credit for insisting that this information be made available to the American people and their elected representatives while there is still time to take corrective action before the November mid-term elections.  Make it so.  This is Frank Gaffney.

President Trump announced on Thursday night the release of previously classified U.S. intelligence community assessments show the mass compromise of U.S. voter data by the Chinese Communist Party. The White House released those documents covering five major areas of concern. One area of concern that President Trump raised there was the acquisition by the Chinese regime of 220 million U.S. voter files, which includes the names, the addresses, the phone numbers, party preferences, and other registration-relevant data. President Trump describing that as the largest election data compromise in history.Officials in several U.S. cities are urging people to stay indoors as smoke from hundreds of wildfires in Canada continues to blanket the U.S. from the upper midwest to the northeast. Detroit, Minneapolis and Chicago on Thursday ranking among the world's most polluted major cities because of the smoke. Forecasters say the thickest smoke is expected through Saturday, with gradual improvement possible by the end of the weekend if the wind shifts and rain arrives.U.S. forces have carried out a sixth consecutive night of strikes targeting Iranian military sites, including air defense systems, logistics infrastructure and maritime capabilities. CENTCOM says the strikes are aimed at further degrading Iran's military capabilities and responding to recent attacks on commercial shipping. U.S. Marines also boarded a commercial tanker in the Gulf of Oman as part of the ongoing naval blockade against Iran.

In this episode of VarnVlog, we are joined by Brandon Lightly to discuss the complex and often misunderstood history of Maoism.

Several Utahns have now filed a defamation lawsuit against Kevin O'Leary -- the man behind the Stratos Data Center in Box Elder County -- and Fox News. O'Leary had called out several Utahns and groups back in May, saying their opposition to the data center was being funded by the Chinese Communist Party. Those groups are now suing in federal court, saying the comments damaged both their reputation and their businesses. The suit comes even though O'Leary and Fox News both issued statements a few weeks ago retracting their comments. But like they say... once the cat's out of the bag, it's impossible to put it back in.

-Rob shares behind-the-scenes stories from his first week broadcasting inside Newsmax's Washington studios, joking about handing Dr. Oz a "Don't Catch the Stupid" T-shirt while rubbing elbows with Mark Meadows, Rick Santorum and Nick Shirley without losing his "wide-eyed kid from Iowa" perspective.  -Chuck Schumer becomes the unexpected star of the show after an alleged hot-mic "Capitol Hill toot," prompting Rob to conduct a full-blown forensic audio investigation worthy of a crime lab— and far less dignified. -China expert Gordon Chang warns that America's growing socialist movement mirrors tactics used by communist regimes, discusses China's influence on U.S. politics, explains the Chinese Communist Party's persecution of Christians, and details why China's slowing economy could signal deeper trouble for Beijing. -Rob unloads on the Democratic Socialists of America, comparing their platform to a declaration of war against the Constitution while insisting America's "hillbillies, homeboys and Hebrews" aren't about to surrender the country without a fight.

Mariam Wahba reports on the brutal persecution of Christians under the Chinese Communist Party's "sinicization" policy. This effort involves rewriting the Bible and mandating state-sanctioned clergy to ensure religion serves the state. Despite this, the underground church continues to grow, posing a challenge to CCP authority. (4)1905 SHANGHAI

SCHEDULE FOR THE JBS, 7-9-2026.1930  BRAZIL ARGENTINA WORLD CUP.Anatol Lieven discusses the impact of the Ukraine war on Russian consumers and potential peace terms. He suggests Russia might settle if it abandons Donbass demands, provided the West bars Ukrainian NATOmembership. Currently, the Russian military is advancing slowly while enduring huge casualties and economic suffering. (1)ZAnatol Lieven explores a potential peace compromise and the risks of escalation. He notes that while Ukraine can make Russia suffer via drone strikes on energy infrastructure, aerial bombardment alone will not force a surrender. A single miscalculation could lead to a direct clash between Russia and NATO. (2) Mary Anastasia O'Grady reports on the earthquake tragedy in Venezuela and the incompetence of the Rodriguezregime. She details how officials like Diosdado Cabello hinder rescue efforts to hide illicit activities. Meanwhile, the opposition leader María Corina Machado is being blocked from returning to the country. (3) Mariam Wahba reports on the brutal persecution of Christians under the Chinese Communist Party's"sinicization" policy. This effort involves rewriting the Bible and mandating state-sanctioned clergy to ensure religion serves the state. Despite this, the underground church continues to grow, posing a challenge to CCPauthority. (4) Josh Dean introduces Kelly Johnson, the brilliant engineer behind the P-38 fighter. Born to hardworking Swedishparents, Johnson overcame poverty to become a legend in aviation. His industrious nature and early mastery of aeronautics led him to Lockheed, where he would transform the industry during WWII. (5) Josh Dean describes the early days of the Lockheed Corporation and the birth of Skunk Works. After saving the company by fixing the Electra, Kelly Johnson promised a jet fighter in just six months. Operating out of a circus tent, his team produced the P-80 in 143 days. (6) Josh Dean explains the Skunk Works method through the development of the F-104 Starfighter. Johnsondemanded total control and minimal oversight from the Air Force, focusing on speed and climb. His test pilots, including Tony LeVier, formed an intimate, trusted team that operated like "cowboys". (7) Josh Dean details the CIA-led U-2 program, designed for high-altitude reconnaissance over the Soviet Union. To achieve 70,000 feet, Johnson created a lightweight glider-like plane. This required the invention of specialized pressure suits for pilots, providing nearly 75% of intelligence gathered during the Cold War. (8) Josh Dean explores the Area 51 mysteries and the Gary Powers incident. Many UFO sightings were actually spy planes like the U-2, tested in secret. Despite the shootdown of Powers in 1960, Johnson had already begun developing the Mach 3.2 Blackbird to maintain an intelligence advantage. (9) Josh Dean recounts Kelly Johnson's creation of the world's first drone for reconnaissance and his failed pitch for an A-12 bomber. He clashed with Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, who ordered the destruction of A-12tools. The segment also highlights Johnson's personal life on his California ranch. (10) Josh Dean highlights Kelly Johnson's struggle with anxiety and health, alongside the emergence of stealth technology. Under his successor Ben Rich, Skunk Works developed the F-117 Nighthawk. Utilizing facets to scatter radar, this "hopeless diamond" proved that an invisible plane was mathematically possible. (11) Josh Dean summarizes Kelly Johnson's 14 rules, emphasizing simplicity and speed. These principles required small teams and minimal paperwork to innovate effectively. Before passing away in 1990, Johnson witnessed a final emotional flyover of his iconic Blackbird, marking the end of a legendary aviation era. (12) Thomas Savage warns that the US national debt is reaching dangerous levels relative to GDP. He explains that rising interest costs are now exceeding national defense spending, which threatens to stifle the productive economy and lead to a decreased standard of living for the average American taxpayer. (13) Thomas Savage argues for stringent budget reforms and spending cuts to address the fiscal crisis. He notes that while many elected officials recognize the problem, the priority of political reelection prevents them from making unpopular decisions, leaving the country in a cycle of unsustainable federal spending. (14) Cliff May explores the historical link between socialism and Islamism, tracing partnerships from early Bolsheviksto the Iranian Revolution. These alliances often end in violence and purges of leftists, as seen when Ayatollah Khomeini executed communist leaders. He warns that these ideologies generally favor oppressive one-party states. (15) Veronique de Rugy uses a 700-year-old Siena fresco to discuss the virtues of good governance. The artwork illustrates that a flourishing society requires the rule of law and justice. She cautions that modern industrial policies and government cronyism represent the same arbitrary governance the fresco warns against. (16) Note: the source had mid-sentence phrases bolded; I've stripped those and kept bolding to proper nouns per house style. Also corrected Tony LeVier (capital V).

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, host Chuck Warren flys solo to examine the growing appeal of socialism, the failures of government price controls, allegations of foreign-funded political unrest, the Charlie Kirk murder case, Arizona's escalating school-choice battle, and a new approach to America's federal assistance programs. First, former prosecutor and U.S. Senate Chief of Staff Chuck Flint joins the show to explain why price controls often make housing, healthcare, and other necessities more expensive and less available. Using New York's rent policies and Obamacare as examples, Flint discusses the consequences of government interference in private markets and responds to the rise of socialist candidates such as Zohran Mamdani. Flint also discusses his experience as a prosecutor and examines how anti-ICE demonstrations and unrest are organized and financed. He outlines reported connections involving activist networks, Neville Roy Singham, and possible Chinese Communist Party influence. The conversation then turns to the preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk. Flint explains why death penalty cases require extensive procedural safeguards, how prosecutors attempt to protect a conviction from future appeals, and why poorly managed judicial dockets may contribute more to court backlogs than a shortage of judges. Follow Chuck Flint on X: @ChuckAFlint Learn more about the Alliance for IRS Accountability: IRSAccountability.org Next, B takes listeners inside the mysterious final hours of Chalino Sánchez in this week's B's Crime Corner. The Mexican corrido singer built his career by writing about violence, survival, cartels, and the experiences of people around him. During his final performance in Culiacán in May 1992, Sánchez was filmed reading a note that many believe contained a death threat. Hours later, armed men reportedly abducted him, and his body was discovered the following morning. Was the note truly his death sentence, and who ordered Chalino Sánchez's murder? Matt Beienburg, Director of Education Policy at the Goldwater Institute and Director of its Van Sittert Center for Constitutional Advocacy, then joins Chuck and Sam to discuss the fight over Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account program. Beienburg explains how teachers unions gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures for a ballot initiative that could significantly restrict the ESA program, which now serves approximately 100,000 students. He warns that the proposal could impose income limits, restrict eligibility, and remove unused scholarship money that families have saved for future educational expenses. He also discusses the Military Family Protection Act, a proposed Arizona constitutional amendment intended to protect scholarship funds belonging to military families. Because the proposal would be placed in the state Constitution, it could override conflicting statutory changes if voters approve both measures. The conversation also covers two Arizona ballot measures addressing race-based discrimination, the role of outside money in ballot campaigns, and whether voters receive enough information about who is financing major initiatives. Follow Matt Beienburg on X: @MBeienburg Learn more about his work: GoldwaterInstitute.org Finally, Nic Dunn, Vice President of Strategy and Senior Fellow at the Sutherland Institute, joins the show to discuss "empowerment accounts," a proposal to combine multiple federal assistance programs into one streamlined monthly benefit. Dunn explains how the system could reduce administrative complexity, provide stronger incentives for recipients to work and increase their earnings, and address the benefit cliffs that can punish families for becoming more financially independent. He also offers a balanced perspective on artificial intelligence, recognizing its potential benefits while addressing legitimate concerns about its social and economic effects. The discussion concludes with a look at how the Sutherland Institute uses podcasts, videos, and other multimedia formats to make detailed policy research accessible to a broader audience.

The campaign of Graham Platner, the Democrat Maine Senate darling with the Nazi tattoo, is finally blowing up following new allegations of sexual misconduct. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) endorsed this walking red flag, but now they're all running for the hills. Where the hell is Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)? D.C. is buzzing with rumors that he's brain-dead, and The Hill already dropped his obituary by mistake. While he's apparently "recovering" in the hospital, his wife is wining and dining with Chinese Communist Party officials. Communist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani was quick to condemn an attack at a mosque. New York Attorney General Letitia James screamed Islamophobia. One problem: The guy waving the weapon was a known Muslim from the community. Mamdani is manufacturing victimhood to shut you up and hand America over to Islam. Sunny Hostin of ABC's "The View" just admitted the American flag scares her. According to her, it has been hijacked by white nationalists. Democrats can't let you enjoy the Fourth of July without injecting race hysteria and victimhood. ► Catch up on my H-1B visa investigations: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkJEwf2wliqrtNlYs9D78nmE_Gnja_PpC ► Email me at saratips@blazemedia.com if you have uncovered potential fraud in your area. ► Subscribe to my second YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SaraGonzalesTX?sub_confirmation=1 ► Shopify Sign up for your $1-per-month trial at www.shopify.com ► Patriot Mobile Go to https://www.PatriotMobile.com/SARA or call 972-PATRIOT.

On the Flyover Conservatives Show, Eric Eggers, Vice President of Research at the Government Accountability Institute and co-host of The Drill Down Podcast with Peter Schweizer, joins David and Stacy Whited to expose how over 1,000 Chinese companies are allegedly selling access to America's birthright citizenship loophole through birth tourism. Eric breaks down how foreign nationals can come to the United States to give birth, return home, and raise children overseas who may still receive U.S. citizenship and future voting rights. In this eye-opening conversation, he connects the 14th Amendment, Supreme Court arguments, Chinese Communist Party influence, visa fraud, election integrity, and the national security concerns surrounding America's citizenship laws. Eric also explains why official U.S. numbers may not tell the full story, how China's own estimates paint a much larger picture, and why this issue could become one of the most important debates in America's future. This is a shocking look at how foreign powers may be exploiting American laws while most citizens have no idea it is happening.TO WATCH ALL FLYOVER CONTENT: www.theflyoverapp.com Follow and Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFlyoverConservativesShow To Schedule A Time To Talk To Dr. Dr. Kirk Elliott Go To ▶ https://flyovergold.comOr Call 720-605-3900 ► Receive your FREE 52 Date Night Ideas Playbook to make date night more exciting, go to www.prosperousmarriage.comEric EggersWEBSITE: www.thedrilldown.comBOOK: https://a.co/d/gTt9VHO Peter Schweizer Book: https://a.co/d/09sea0fN Eric Eggers is the Vice President of Research at the Government Accountability Institute, where he investigates political corruption, election integrity, foreign influence, and government accountability.

(Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson, Timothy Reed, and Adam McManus Chinese pastor Ezra Jin released from prison Praise God! Chinese House Church Pastor Ezra Jin has been released from a communist prison!   This comes after US President Donald Trump brought up his case with the Chinese president last month. China Aid interprets the action as a  “goodwill gesture coinciding with America's Independence Day.” Bob Fu of China Aid noted that “While we celebrate Pastor Jin's freedom, our hearts remain with the countless jailed pastors and coworkers from Zion Church as well as priests, bishops, and house church Christians. . . who remain unjustly imprisoned by the Chinese Communist Party.”   Pastor Jin's daughter, Grace Jin Drexel, has spoken out on national media and lobbied Congress and the President for the release of her father since he was arrested last October.  Iran sentenced five people to death Iranian courts have sentenced five more people to death because they participated in alleged “anti-government” activities in recent protests. This adds to the 1,639 persons executed in 2025, according to Iran International.  Iranian officials call for Trump's assassination Calls for President Trump's assassination from Iranian government officials and the crowd of hundreds of thousands on the streets of Tehran were plentiful, according to the New York Post. One banner promised $100 million for the person who kills the US President, according to reports from Iran International.   Cuba's nationwide blackout Another communist country, Cuba, is in serious economic and social disintegration. The country experienced a nationwide blackout over the weekend — affecting transportation, crucial medical care, and government operations, reports FoxNews. That's the third blackout in six months. Russian missiles and drones killed 21 Ukrainian citizens Russian missiles and drones killed 21 Ukrainian citizens in a blitz attack on Kiev over the weekend. Another 100-plus people were injured in the attacks, that came at the eve of a NATO summit, reports the BBC. President Donald Trump reports to have had a lengthy “constructive” conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday.  LEGO pushes sexual perversion The Denmark-owned LEGO company is openly pushing homosexual Pride parades, homosexual faux marriage, and other homosexualized themes for children. The LEGO company's pride month celebration included a contest intended to groom children in homosexual ideologies. In the words of their website, LEGO seeks to “celebrate everyone you love.” In Matthew 18:6, Jesus said, “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” Evangelical Christian edges out RINO in Colorado's governor race An evangelical Christian, Victor Marx, has edged out the middle-of-the-road Republican candidate in Colorado's gubernatorial race, reports Colorado Newsline. After 97% of the primary vote count has come in, Marx maintains a 1% lead. A recount may still be in the works. Trump-endorsed candidates and conservative candidates have won so far in Texas, Louisiana, Indiana, and Georgia. Abortion is up despite Roe v. Wade's demise Despite the U.S. Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v. Wade in 2022, abortions continue to rise in the United States.  The most recent numbers indicated 1.13 million abortions nationwide last year. That's up from 862,000 in 2017, reports The Christian Post. While a number of Republican-leaning states have restricted abortion, many Democrat-leaning states have opened up access to abortions.  Additionally, the Abortion Kill Pill is accessible in all states, and remains the largest driver in the uptick of abortion numbers. Psalm 94:21 says, “They gather together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.” Dept. of Justice cracks down on medical fraud The Department of Justice is cracking down on medical fraud. More than 450 defendants were named in the latest fraud bust, with the fraud totaling more than $6.5 billion!  Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the Department of Health and Human Services, explained the implications of the far-reaching medical fraud bust. KENNEDY: “Our objective is straightforward: to stop the fraud before it happens. “The people charged today should understand that we will continue expanding these capabilities, strengthening and enforcement, and pursuing every credible allegation of fraud. If you exploit patients for profit, if you steal Medicaid or Medicare dollars, if you treat taxpayer dollars as your personal bank account, we will investigate you. “We will build the case, and we will bring you to justice. We will find fraud, we will stop it, we will recover taxpayer dollars whenever the law permits, and we will restore integrity to the programs that millions of Americans rely on for their care.” 7 million illegals under Biden drove up housing costs A new report out of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas detailed the massive impact illegal immigration has had on housing prices. Per the report, around seven million illegal immigrants entered the United States during the Biden presidency, which contributed greatly to soaring housing prices. The report further read, “A back-of-the-envelope calculation suggests that [unauthorized immigrant worker flows] can explain about 30% of the total growth in house prices and 20% of total growth in rents over the boom period for the average local market.” And Lora Ries of the Heritage Foundation asserted, “We have at least 20 million deportable aliens in the U.S. Deporting millions of them will free up the housing supply, bring down housing costs, and allow young Americans to buy homes and start families.” But are there enough workers in America to do the work?  Fewer and fewer able-bodied Americans are willing to work.  The U.S. Labor Participation rate has dipped to 61.5% — down from 67% in the early 2000s. Unemployment is running at 4.2% — slightly higher than unemployment rates prior to the Covid pandemic in 2019.

In a scathing critique, the speaker takes aim at a common roadside sign that's been popping up in Colorado, urging drivers to "take one less trip" to reduce ozone levels. But is this sign really doing what it claims? The speaker digs into the science behind ozone formation and reveals some surprising facts about the real culprits behind the pollution.This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of politics, science, and personal responsibility. The speaker delves into a study from 2022 that found that electronic message boards, like the ones displaying the "take one less trip" sign, actually increase traffic crashes by 4.5%. But that's not all - the speaker also examines the real causes of ozone formation and reveals that it's not our cars that are the main culprits, but rather wildfires, oil and gas operations, and even the natural environment.The speaker also takes a hard look at the Chinese Communist Party's recent Ethnic Unity and Progress Promotion Law, which is essentially a textbook example of communist tactics. By redefining words, weaponizing ambiguity, and deputizing the population to police itself, the Party is creating a culture of fear and submission. The speaker argues that this is not just a Chinese issue, but a warning sign for the rest of the world.If you're interested in learning more about the science behind ozone formation, the dangers of communist ideology, and the importance of personal responsibility, tune in to this episode to hear the speaker's insightful analysis and thought-provoking commentary.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

H2: This segment of The Tara Show discusses U.S. wealth growth, local governance, and criticism of policies regarding illegal immigration. full Here is the complete transcript with the speaker names updated to reflect Tara and her co-host, Lee Rogers: Tara: If anything marked this week, lately, it was the absolute awe of FIFA fans who've never been to America before, coming here largely from Europe— Lee Rogers: Yeah. Tara: —and discovering how we live. 'Cause they didn't know. Lee Rogers: No. Tara: And they were probably like me when I went there in my 20s with my cousins. Took a long road trip through Europe and was shocked at the poverty of the middle class, um, and the way that they lived compared to us. I'd always thought it was roughly equivalent. It's not. Well, this captures kind of what they were seeing. Headline in the Wall Street Journal—this is truly stunning, okay? And this is exactly what Democrats are trying to crush with the Democrat Socialists of America movement. Headline in the Wall Street Journal: "The US added 1,200 new millionaires a day—" Lee Rogers: Mhm. Tara: "—last year." Not last year—a day, last year. 1,200 new millionaires— Lee Rogers: A day. Tara: —a day. Okay. China, how many did, um, you know, how many millionaires are there? Okay, so you look at the United States of America. Let's start with that. Total millionaires in the United States of America—and this is remarkable—23.6 million. Lee Rogers: Mhm. Tara: That's out of 342 million people. Okay, China—what, three, four times bigger?—they've only got 5.2. This is exactly the system, uh, that the Democrats are hoping to embrace. Literally, a lot of it funded by China. I mean, you're—if you want to know what's going on in New York right now with the Commie Corridor, go pull the article by the New York Times—not the New York Post, the New York Times—in which they admit the Chinese Communist Party is now a huge influence on who wins the primaries. Lee Rogers: And you've got these American Democrats allied with them who want to take the property of the millionaires here in this country. Tara: Yes! They—because you shouldn't have it. Lee Rogers: Because you shouldn't have it. But what if you earned it? Well, you still shouldn't have it. Tara: Right! Wall Street Journal writes—I mean, every stat in the story is just mind-blowing. "America knows how to manufacture millionaires. Over 440,000 people, or more than 1,200 a day, became millionaires in the US a year, accounting for nearly half the world's new millionaires." Again, there's only like 342 million of us. It's incredible. Lee Rogers: Mhm. Tara: Why? Because capitalism and free markets work anywhere they're tried. They work anywhere they're tried. Why? Because they work off of human nature. Lee Rogers: Yeah. Tara: Um, more than 23.6 million Americans are now worth seven figures or more. And the US gains have come thanks in large part to surging financial markets. Lee Rogers: Yeah. Tara: Uh, and so, I mean, you know, you're watching this. Just to give you some idea, okay? And this is what these FIFA fans are reacting to. It's kind of a measure. If you look at, um, how many millionaires that we have here in America—okay, 23.6 million. If you combine Germany, the UK, France, Australia, the Netherlands, Italy, you only get 11.5. It's roughly the same population. So here in America, 23.6 million millionaires. You take what is essentially Europe, and you throw in Australia, to get to 11.5 million millionaires. So you can see their, um, you know, the way they live is nothing like the way we live. We are so wealthy comparatively, and that's what they were so shocked about when they came here. Lee Rogers: And it's also the space and the choice that we have in this country, despite the best efforts of many on the left to restrict that. I mean, what I think is so funny is when these Europeans are going to a Buc-ee's and they are just completely mind-blown. Tara: [laughs] Lee Rogers: Because European countries will not allow that to be built. That is the thing. It is not that these countries can't afford these things. They ... 1835 Thu, 02 Jul 2026 14:15:00 +0000 IHZii50zrB6E5IgMfQB7VeclHNY1X7ZC news The Tara Show news H2: This segment of The Tara Show discusses U.S. wealth growth, local governance, and criticism of policies regarding illegal immigration.

State Attorney Generals can only serve one master – the government or the people. Washington state Democrats make reparations an official party platform. Congresswoman insults parents of children murdered by illegals. Has NBC News been taken over by the Chinese Communist Party?

In Hour 4, Segment 1 of The Tara Show, host Tara discusses potential options for restricting visas, specifically targeting foreign nationals who exploit birthright citizenship via territorial loopholes like the Mariana Islands. She strongly critiques past administrative policies that she claims allowed foreign powers, particularly the Chinese Communist Party, to abuse these pathways. Tara and co-host Lee Rogers then contrast federal immigration control efforts with local legislative decisions, sharply condemning California Democrats for defeating a Republican-led bill that would have banned registered sex offenders from running

The agencies are now working to release details about the hidden wealth of the Chinese Communist Party's leadership, including of Xi himself.We'll discuss this topic and others in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

During this portion of the June 30, 2026 broadcast, Tara focused heavily on what Donald Trump recently categorized as the nation's biggest threat since its founding: the infiltration of the Democratic Party by radical socialists and communists. Backing up her claims with recent polling data, she noted a sharp decline in national pride among Democrats, contrasting it sharply with consistent patriotism on the conservative side. Tara warned that this shifts beyond domestic politics, pointing to an ongoing grand jury investigation into billionaire Neville Singham as proof of a broader effort by the Chinese Communist Party to inject dark money and divisive digital propaganda into American elections. Ultimately, she and her team argued that the public is noticing these extreme platform shifts, which is directly triggering a massive population migration away from progressive cities and into the American South.

President Donald Trump celebrated two wins with Tuesday's Supreme Court rulings. Justices lifted limits on campaign spending in federal elections and upheld West Virginia and Idaho laws banning boys in girls' sports. However, the Supreme Court struck down Trump's executive order excluding children of illegal immigrants and temporary visa holders from automatic citizenship at birth. Trump said the ruling is a loss for America and called on Congress to change the law to end birthright citizenship."The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process," Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Tuesday.A new report finds a growing campaign to silence critics of the Chinese Communist Party is expanding inside the United States. The findings include threats, assaults, and pressure campaigns targeting Americans across more than 30 states.House lawmakers have expressed concern over security at the northern border, which has seen a growing trend of attempted crossings by terror suspects along with an increase in cartel activity.

Around the world, Christians are being persecuted for their faith. A report last Friday indicated 28 Christians were massacred in Nigeria as Islamic militants targeted a village overnight. A week ago today, the ACLJ reported in the Congo, the DRC, Islamic jihadists were conducting a village-by-village extermination of Christians. They report in the last three weeks, 76 Christians were hunted down and slaughtered/beheaded, executed in groups, and dragged from their homes. The ultimatum is: "Deny Christ or die." Earlier this month a story indicated that authorities with the Chinese Communist Party raided the Sunday service of an influential Protestant house church detaining pastors and dozens of members, including children. Also this month in India, it was reported that three Christian families had their homes burned down by a suspected Hindu mob. The matter of persecution is very real and it's happening every day.

Before heading into the weekend, there are a few minor issues we need to clear up. One: that weirdo Trump FEMA official is leaving. Which one? The one who teleported into a Waffle House, of course. How is he leaving? That we don't know, and it might not even be worth trying to guess, honestly. Oh, and remember the Shark Tank weirdo who was so sure that anyone opposing his plans for a mega data center in Utah just had to be a Chinese Communist Party front? Well, he's backing off of that one. Which is nice, I guess. Oh, oh, and remember that housing bill that both was and wasn't presented to the president for signature? Well, it's been presented. Again? Maybe? Oh, oh, oh, and remember Elise Stefanik? Well, we'll be rid of her for the time being, but MAGA weirdos are hoping to replace her with a different MAGA weirdo. Oh, oh, oh, oh, and remember the Reflecting Pool? It doesn't really matter if you don't, because it's whole history is going to be made up, anyway. Anyway, it turns out that the only contractor with real experience in dealing with it didn't want anything to do with Trump's plans for it. So they gave the job to Gomez Addams, instead. Looking ahead, at least on a story that's already got a long and checkered past, Todd Blanche and the DOJ might kinda sorta be in some trouble over the Epstein Files. But you know how that whole executive branch accountability thing goes. Though there are still some solid efforts being made at reviving the concept. It's all the more important, given that the leopards who ate the faces of the original "relitigate Watergate" champions are now looking to relitigate Watergate. Are you old enough to remember when ICE was spending like a drunken sailor, buying up every warehouse it could find and trying to "Whydontchajust" them into detention centers? Well, now they're trying to un-whydontchajust 'em (and pin the blame on Kristi Noem). One last thing to stow away for the weekend: the next blossoming scandal has dropped! Trump's looking to exploit LA28 Olympic organizers' need to stay on "the government's" good side by squeezing them for some kind of quasi-affiliated, pre-Olympics golf tournament at his LA club. That's not even a thing! But neither is remaining president while suffering from degenerative dementia.

The Imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and the Future of Hong Kong. Guest: Mark Clifford and Gordon Chang. Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 11918

SCHEDULE THE JOHN BATCHELOCR SHOW, 6-24-2026MEXICO CITYThe Imprisonment of Jimmy Lai and the Future of Hong Kong. Guest: Mark Clifford and Gordon Chang. Jimmy Lai has spent over 2,000 days in prison, becoming a symbol of resistance against the Chinese Communist Party. His fate mirrors that of Hong Kong, which is transforming into a national security state where surveillance and espionage extend to international cities like London. 1US Navy Control and the Opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Guest: Rebecca Grant and Gordon Chang. Despite Iranian claims of closure, the US Navy maintains tactical control over the Strait of Hormuz, ensuring sea lanes remain open for international shipping. Advanced mine-clearing technology and persistent patrols have neutralized threats, though economic signals like the Jones Act waiver remain points of discussion. 2Canadian Public Opinion on the Chinese Threat and US Trade. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang. A majority of Canadians perceive China as a threat following revelations of election interference and malign influence operations. Meanwhile, concerns grow regarding the reliability of the United States as a partner under the Trumpadministration and the potential abrogation of the USMCA trade agreement. 3Strengthening Defense Ties Between the Philippines and Canada. Guest: Charles Burton and Gordon Chang.Canada is deepening security cooperation with the Philippines to counter Chinese expansionism in the South China Sea. This partnership includes logistical agreements and military training, even as Canada faces challenges protecting its own Arctic sovereignty against increasing Russian and Chinese strategic reach in the North. 4Ukrainian Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Oil Infrastructure. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Cheap Ukrainian drones have successfully targeted Russian refineries and fuel transport, causing significant shortages of gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. This technological warfare has forced Russia to ban exports and implement rationing, as traditional air defense systems struggle to counter swarms of small, maneuverable drones. 5Declining Russian Oil Production and the Shadow Fleet. Guest: Michael Bernstam. Russian oil production is falling due to aging fields and a lack of investment, failing to meet OPEC quotas. While Russia utilizes a "shadow fleet" to bypass sanctions, it must offer steep discounts to India and China as Brent crude prices decline and fiscal pressures mount. 6European Heatwave, Commodity Prices, and UK Political Shifts. Guest: Simon Constable. A "Godzilla El Niño" has triggered record-breaking heatwaves across Europe, impacting energy demand and agriculture. Amid falling Brent crude prices, attention shifts to UK politics, where the potential rise of Andy Burnham within the Labour Party signals a move toward higher taxes and increased government spending. 7The Infrastructure and Economic Impact of Data Centers. Guest: Simon Constable. Data centers have become essential infrastructure for AI development, consuming vast amounts of water and electricity. While they provide significant tax revenue for localities, particularly in states like Virginia and Texas, their construction often faces local opposition due to their immense resource requirements and costs. 8Colombia's Presidential Shift Toward Security and Law and Order. Guest: Evan Ellis. Abelardo de la Espriellaappears to have won the Colombian presidency, promising a crackdown on insecurity and organized crime modeled after El Salvador's policies. His victory signals a likely return to strong security cooperation with the United States and a departure from the policies of Gustavo Petro. 9Keiko Fujimori and the Return of the Fujimori Dynasty. Guest: Evan Ellis. Keiko Fujimori has likely secured the Peruvian presidency, narrowly defeating her socialist opponent through overseas votes. Her administration faces a deeply divided nation, widespread illegal mining, and cocaine production, but may benefit from a new bicameral Congress intended to provide greater political stability than previous years. 10Political Instability in Bolivia and Regional Alliances. Guest: Evan Ellis. President Rodrigo Paz has survived a 50-day crisis in Bolivia after declaring a state of emergency to clear blockades led by Evo Morales. While regional allies have supported Paz, Brazil's absence from this coalition highlights President Lula's role as a principal counterweight to US influence. 11Mexico's Economic Growth and USMCA Renegotiation Tensions. Guest: Evan Ellis. The Mexican economy saw its sharpest expansion in five years, yet the upcoming USMCA renegotiation creates significant uncertainty. While Mexicoattempts to appease the US through high-level investigations into cartel-linked officials, the Sheinbaum government remains hesitant to fully confront powerful political figures within its own party. 12Pope Leo XIV's Warning on Artificial Intelligence. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. In a 43,000-word encyclical, Pope Leo XIV warns that artificial intelligence risks dehumanizing society and excluding God from the human experience. While acknowledging technological benefits, the Pope emphasizes the danger of treating humans as mere means and the erosion of authentic human relationships in favor of machines. 13AI in Education and the Necessity of Liberal Learning. Guest: Peter Berkowitz. The rise of AI in academia tempts students to bypass the essential struggle of thinking, leading to intellectual atrophy. Educators argue that liberal education is now more vital than ever to help students cultivate a flourishing mind and recognize the limitations of technological shortcuts. 14Private Innovation and Infrastructure Challenges in Space. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. SpaceX successfully defeated legal challenges in Texas while NASA's aging infrastructure faces funding gaps and restrictive laws. Meanwhile, private startups like Catalyst are attempting robotic satellite rescues, signaling a shift toward a capitalist model in space operations as government agencies struggle with delays and inefficiencies. 15New Discoveries in Planetary Science and Cosmology.

Peek highlights Warsh's goal to reform data collection and move away from forecasting, favoring real-time data over the traditional, often confusing, communication styles of his predecessors like Greenspan. 1The Resilient US Consumer and AI Infrastructure. Guest: Elizabeth Peek. Despite concerns over tariffs and wars, consumer spending remains robust, fueled by record stock market levels and rising low-end wages. Peek argues against AI alarmism, noting that massive investments in AI infrastructure are creating a surge in blue-collar job demand for skilled trades like welding and construction. 2Critiquing the Memo of Understanding with Iran. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. Schanzer describes the newly established Memo of Understanding as a "dog's breakfast" that grants the Iranian regime significant sanctions relief and upfront cash. He argues the agreement appears to be an American defeat, particularly regarding the shaky nuclear inspection protocols and the uncertain status of the Strait of Hormuz. 3Hezbollah's Role and the Fog of Middle East Diplomacy. Guest: Jonathan Schanzer. The discussion focuses on Hezbollah as a "wholly owned subsidiary" of Iran, with the IRGC directing its activities in Lebanon. Schanzer criticizes the administration for expecting Israel to adhere to a ceasefire while Iran continues to provoke attacks, labeling the current diplomatic strategy as improvised and potentially harmful. 4Secretary Rubio's Reassurance Mission to Gulf Allies. Guest: Mary Kissel. Secretary of State Marco Rubio travels to the Gulf to reassure the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain of U.S. security commitments following Iranian attacks. Kissel criticizes the administration for granting Iran sanctions relief and 60-day exemptions, arguing that the diplomatic effort prioritizes "hope over experience" regarding Iranian nuclear ambitions. 5The Impact of Foreign Policy on Domestic Midterms. Guest: Mary Kissel. Kissel examines whether foreign policy influences American voters, noting it is rare compared to "pocketbook" issues like inflation and interest rates. She warns that adversarial regimes like Iran and China are sophisticated observers of the U.S. electoral calendar and may attempt to influence domestic politics. 6Kevin Warsh's Reformist Vision for the Federal Reserve. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg analyzes Kevin Warsh's first FOMC meeting, noting a shift toward shorter policy statements and the removal of the "dot plot" forecasting tool. Warsh is initiating five task forces to reform the Fed's intellectual framework, specifically targeting productivity, data quality, and balance sheet management. 7The Turmoil of British Leadership and the Labour Party. Guest: Joseph Sternberg. This segment explores the potential replacement of Keir Starmer with Andy Burnham as UK Prime Minister.

He notes that while the strait is "more or less open," the situation remains in flux, with regional players like Turkey seeking to thwart Iranian ambitions in the Mediterranean. 9Xi Jinping's Strategic Outreach to North Korea. Guest: Gregory Copley. Xi Jinping's visit to Pyongyang is seen as a move to reassert Chinese influence over North Korea as Kim Jong-un shifts away from communist identity. Kim is positioning himself as an equal to Xi while strengthening his ties with Russia, creating a complex ideological shift in the region. 10British Political Fragmentation and the Immigration Crisis. Guest: Gregory Copley. Britain has seen seven prime ministers in ten years due to political fragmentation over illegal immigration and European relations.

Guest: Peter Berkowitz. Berkowitz reflects on the 2019 Commission on Unalienable Rights, which sought to ground human rights in the American founding tradition.

Guest: Peter Berkowitz. This segment discusses applying founding principles to modern diplomacy, specifically condemning the Chinese Communist Party's crimes against the Uyghurs.

Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. McCotter analyzes the Memo of Understanding, highlighting unresolved issues like the Strait of Hormuz and the $80 billion war funding request.

Guest: Thaddeus McCotter. The discussion centers on Tucker Carlson's potential departure from the Republican Party over foreign policy disagreements. McCotter suggests this reflects deeper fault lines within the MAGA base, where isolationist tendencies and dissatisfaction with the administration's relationship with allies like Israel could lead to future political discord. 16

This is not a drill, America—the radical left is officially taking over!

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, Ben Ferguson fills in for Mark. America must prevail in the ongoing global AI race to prevent China from dominating and using AI to subtly spread propaganda on issues like taxes, censorship, drugs, abortion, and socialism, potentially shaping generations. News Guard is a pro-censorship group hostile to conservatives that blacklists right-leaning outlets, while rating Chinese Communist Party state media like China Daily as far more reliable than conservative sources. By licensing its biased ratings for AI training and supervised learning, News Guard aims to steer AI toward leftist-approved information and suppress conservative viewpoints, amplifying radical propaganda risks if America loses control of AI development. Also, the FBI, under Director Kash Patel, is actively fulfilling President Trump's campaign promise to combat waste, fraud, and abuse while draining the swamp by targeting criminals. The agency has conducted violent crime operations resulting in numerous arrests, illegal firearm seizures, and drug takedowns, alongside sentencing child predators. This marks a shift from prior administrations' use of the FBI for political censorship, to now focusing on real crimes. Meanwhile, Gov Gavin Newsom is a prime example of entrenched corruption. There's a DOJ investigation into Newsom and his wife Jennifer's finances, nonprofit ties, taxes, and business dealings. Newsom might prioritize avoiding jail over a 2028 presidential run, while DOJ is following the money.  Later, a Biden-appointed federal judge in D.C., blocked the Trump administration from using a program to verify citizenship and more quickly remove foreign nationals from state voter rolls. The ruling is activist judicial interference that prioritizes illegal aliens over the law requiring elections to be reserved exclusively for American citizens, enabling voter fraud as part of a Democratic open-border strategy to flood the country with illegal immigrants, secure their votes through benefits, and fundamentally transform America. Finally, despite Iranian threats and a Saturday proclamation closing the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israel's actions against Hezbollah, tankers continue moving through the waterway. CENTCOM stated Iran does not control the strait, confirmed ongoing traffic with 55 merchant ships transiting and over 17 million barrels of oil reaching global markets, lowered the risk advisory to moderate, and affirmed U.S. forces are monitoring to ensure agreement compliance.

“We will not let Communist Party of China define who we are,” said Taiwan's Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim, who has been sanctioned by Beijing and labeled a “separatist.”Despite Beijing's ever-growing hostility toward Taiwan, she is not deterred.In recent years, the Chinese Communist Party has escalated its “gray zone” operations, naval aggression, large-scale encirclement drills and missile tests, and aircraft incursions into Taiwan's Air Defense Identification Zone. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has promised to seize Taiwan—including by force if necessary.Beijing has also aggressively sought to isolate Taiwan internationally and peel away its allies. Only 11 countries and the Holy See still maintain official diplomatic relations with Taiwan as of 2026.“China's cognitive warfare, psychological warfare, political warfare, legal warfare, and very aggressive interventions in our domestic society and politics [have] become an increasingly serious problem,” Hsiao said.Born to a Taiwanese father and an American mother, Hsiao previously served in Taiwan's legislature and as the island's top representative in Washington, where she became known for her “cat warrior diplomacy.”Although Taiwan is only about the size of Maryland, it plays a pivotal role in the global economy, producing more than 90 percent of the world's most advanced semiconductors—the chips that power artificial intelligence, smartphones, cars, and much of tomorrow's technology.It is also America's fourth-largest trading partner, and nearly half of all global container ships—dwarfing even shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz—sail through the narrow Taiwan Strait, carrying trillions in trade.“Everything we're doing today in strengthening Taiwan is to prevent an invasion, to prevent that scenario from happening,” Hsiao said.Recently, Taiwan's National Security Bureau established a secure information-reporting channel for Chinese nationals to submit intelligence tips—a unprecedented move for Taiwan.In this episode, I sat down with Hsiao in the presidential office of Taiwan to understand what's really at stake here and how Taiwan is working to strengthen its whole-of-society resilience and deter a greater conflict.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Renowned historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Frank Dikötter discusses his new book, Red Dawn Over China: How Communism Conquered a Quarter of Humanity. Drawing from tightly controlled Chinese Communist Party archives and Soviet Comintern documents, Dikötter systematically dismantles decades of romanticized Western myths—originally popularized by journalist Edgar Snow—surrounding the rise of Mao Zedong. He details how the Chinese Communist Party was a deeply unpopular, marginal movement that was parameterized and heavily armed by Joseph Stalin rather than gaining organic peasant support, eventually taking the country through the devastation of civil war and the Red Army's strategic handover of Manchuria. Shifting to modern-day geopolitics, the conversation explores how this "enforced amnesia" shapes the systemic constraints of China's current single-party state, analyzing the vulnerabilities behind its economic facade, Xi Jinping's relentless military purges, the critical importance of arming Taiwan, and why the West must counter a regime built on deep-seated political paranoia.

Newt talks with Ambassador Sam Brownback about his new book, “China’s War on Faith.” Brownback, who previously served as a United States Senator, the 46th governor of Kansas and Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom, has decades of experience on the frontlines fighting for religious liberty around the world. Brownback argues the Chinese Communist Party sees religious freedom as an existential threat and has engaged in a ruthless campaign to suppress people of faith, including forced organ harvesting on the Falun Gong. He believes the party's crackdown on religious groups like the Tibetan Buddhists and Uyghur Muslims constitutes genocide. Brownback calls for the U.S. to elevate religious freedom as a strategic issue in confronting China's totalitarianism.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Michael McFaul examines the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre and the subsequent American policy of reaching out to the Chinese Communist Party with an open hand. McFaul critiques the Bush administration's decision to prioritize balancing against the Soviets over human rights, suggesting a "dual track" approach would have been more effective. While Deng Xiaoping's economic reforms spurred unprecedented growth, the Western theory that economic modernization would inevitably lead to democratization proved false. Today, China remains a highly successful economy ruled by a dictatorship, highlighting the complexities of decoupling values from commercial interests. (2)1905

Hagar Chemali (Former spokesperson for the U.S. Mission to the UN) is back in studio with host Ron Steslow to map the widening gap between the Trump Administration's declared aims in the Iran war, and the murky reality now shaping the region and the world. First they discuss the state of the war with Iran and the supposed negotiations in which the two governments are describing opposite realities—and what it would mean for the US to “finish the job.” Then, they widen the lens to China, tracing the argument that the campaigns against Iran and Venezuela are less about those countries than about choking off Beijing's energy supply. Finally, they turn to the information domain and the Singham network, a Chinese Communist Party-aligned financing infrastructure that has funneled hundreds of millions of dollars into American left-wing protest infrastructure and the deeper question it raises: how can a liberal society defend itself against foreign information warfare without surrendering the values it is fighting to protect?  In Politicology+, they discuss Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte—a political enforcer with zero intelligence experience—as interim Director of National Intelligence and why it's essential to understand what was going on behind the scenes in the lead up to Tusli Gabbard's resignation.  POLITICOLOGY+ Not yet a Politicology+ member?
