In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we take a deep dive into the alarming vulnerabilities Americans face due to lax policies regarding China's influence in the U.S. John discusses the troubling emergence of secret police stations and bio labs in California and Las Vegas, raising serious concerns about national security and public health. He highlights the Biden administration's negligence in addressing these issues, including the dismantling of critical counterintelligence programs aimed at monitoring Chinese espionage in American academia.Joining John is Kash Patel, the director of the FBI, who provides exclusive insights into the discoveries made at a recently raided lab and reacts to the extradition of a suspect in the Benghazi attack. Patel emphasizes the importance of reinstating counterintelligence measures that were previously abandoned, shedding light on the ongoing threats posed by Chinese operatives.In the second segment, Dr. Jay Bhattachrya, director of the National Institutes of Health, shares his findings on the implications of gain-of-function research and its connection to the COVID-19 pandemic. John seeks answers on whether measures have been taken to halt such research and the status of the China Initiative.To lighten the mood, John introduces artist Scott Lobaido, who is advocating for a 150-foot American flag to be flown over Ground Zero, reminding listeners of the impact of the September 11 attacks and the need for national remembrance as we approach the 25th anniversary.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Back in April 2021 we covered news about a record breaking 25 Chinese air force aircraft including fighters and nuclear-capable bombers that entered Taiwan's air defense identification zone (ADIZ). At the time 25 seemed like an alarming number. It was the largest incursion by Chinese military planes into Taiwan's ADIZ to date. Related Links: https://talkingtaiwan.com/chinas-alarming-gray-zone-tactics-around-taiwan-and-its-neighboring-nations-in-asia-ep-340/ To be clear these sorts of activities had been going on long before this and long before September of 2020 which about the time that Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense started to publicly report China's incursions. The China's People's Liberation Army has shown no signs of letting up. The PLA's gray zone tactics, have also included the use of drones and balloons. Incursions by warplanes and naval ships into the airspace and waters surrounding Taiwan are now a daily occurrence.. And they have completely shattered the record 25 aircraft in Taiwan's ADIZ many times over. Major military exercises have included the Joint Sword-2024A. Three days after Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te's inauguration in May 20 of 2024, China's PLA conducted two days of military exercises in the air and sea space around Taiwan. More recently, at the end of 2025 on December 29 and 30, People's Republic of China (PRC) military forces carried out a large-scale exercise in the air and ocean areas around Taiwan called "Justice Mission-2025." This two days of PLA military exercises involved at least 200 warplanes. Unfortunately these types of gray zone tactics by China have become commonplace and while they have been more widely reported on, even more troubling are the other gray zone tactics that the PRC has been levying on Taiwan, which include the presence of Chinese owned and operated oil rigs in Taiwan's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and on January 16th the New York Times reported that China quietly mobilized thousands of fishing boats twice already, most recently in the first few weeks of this new year. Quoting from the New York Times, "By January 11, they had assembled into a rectangle stretching more than 200 miles. Maritime and military experts said the maneuvers suggested that China was strengthening its maritime militia, which is made up of civilian fishing boats trained to join in military operations." This was not the first time, a month earlier on December 25th the Times reported that "about 2,000 Chinese fishing boats assembled in two long, parallel formations on Christmas Day in the East China Sea. Each stretched 290 miles long, about the distance from New York City to Buffalo, forming a reverse L shape" According to the New York Times, "The unusual formations were spotted by Jason Wang, the chief operating officer of ingeniSPACE, a company that analyzes data, and were independently confirmed by The Times using ship location data provided by Starboard Maritime Intelligence." In this episode of Talking Taiwan we will be speaking to Marvin Bernado, Maritime Domain Awareness Analyst at ingeniSPACE and Elva Wu, National Security Researcher / Imagery Analyst at ingeniSPACE. About ingeniSPACE: ingeniSPACE is a geospatial intelligence company integrating remote sensing data across multiple phenomenologies.

It takes courage to reimagine a classic. Xiaolu Guo was drawn to Herman Melville's “Moby-Dick,” from the first time she read it in her native Chinese. The writing was lyrical — hard to translate — and the descriptions of sailing were dense. But the symbolism of the great white whale and the sea-faring captain obsessed with revenge captivated her. Her new novel is a retelling of this classic with a young girl at its center. Protagonist Ishmaelle goes to sea, disguised as a boy, in a desperate grasp for freedom. She wants to leave poverty, gender norms and religious traditions behind. When she ends up on a whaling ship, captained by a free Black man named Seneca, she meets a swash-buckling crew of people who broaden her world — and ours. Guo joins host Kerri Miller this week to talk about her reimagined “Moby-Dick” which probes gender, race, humanity's connection to animals and the nature of belonging.Guest: Xiaolu Guo is the author of “Radical” and “Nine Continents.” Her new novel is “Call Me Ishmaelle.”Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Software stocks are dropping like rocks in 2026 as AI companies, including Anthropic, deliver more impressive enterprise tools. It's reminiscent of the market's reaction to DeepSeek in 2025 – a Chinese startup that seemed like it could deliver the same AI capabilities with a fraction of the hardware requirements. This “DeepSeek Moment” caused investors to rethink their assumptions. The rapid rise of enterprise AI tools appears to have investors rethinking things again.

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up— Iran is on edge after a series of explosions and fires erupted across the country within days. Deadly blasts in multiple cities and a massive market fire in Tehran have fueled fear and uncertainty, as many Iranians openly doubt official explanations. Later in the show— President Donald Trump speaks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping about Ukraine, trade, and Taiwan, as Washington and Beijing prepare for a high-stakes United States state visit to China. Plus— more on a deadly insurgency in southwest Pakistan, where security forces used helicopters and drones to retake a town after days of fighting. And in today's Back of the Brief— a drawdown in Minneapolis, as the Trump administration moves to pull hundreds of federal officers out of Minnesota, scaling back the federal presence.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Thursday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan leads with good news as President Trump's Five Bucket Strategy gains momentum, including a major international minerals pact designed to break China's grip on critical resources and early signs of a new rent-to-own housing pathway for young and middle-income Americans. He then explains why the AI Revolution is rattling markets and jobs alike, as new tools automate white-collar work faster than expected, raising hard questions about wages, employment, and who benefits from the coming productivity boom. Back at the border, Bryan details a quieter shift in Minnesota as local law enforcement begins cooperating more closely with ICE, allowing federal agents to pull back from street arrests and reduce risk, even as Democrats and judges escalate rhetoric and legal resistance. The episode pivots global with updates on cartel expansion into illegal vape trafficking in Mexico, a dramatic political turn in Bolivia as Chinese-backed projects are canceled and a former Marxist president vanishes, fresh evidence that China is massively expanding coal power despite climate promises, rising tensions over the Panama Canal, deepening financial strain on Russia as India weighs oil cuts, and renewed maneuvering with Iran that could set the stage for another major U.S. strike.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they weigh in on anti-ICE high school protests, the discovery of yet another Chinese-linked bio lab in the United States, and a bizarre Republican primary challenge featuring a familiar infomercial pitchman.First, they dig into the case of a Nebraska mother who says her daughter was struck by a vehicle during an anti-ICE protest that took place during school hours. She alleges the high school not only allowed the walkout and failed to protect her daughter but used class time to prepare students for it. Jim and Greg debate the responsibility of teachers and administrators to keep students safe, why left-approved protests are treated differently, and how protests should be handled at the high school level.Next, they react to the alarming news that another bio lab with ties to the Chinese Communist Party was discovered and raided near Las Vegas. Jim and Greg walk through the disturbing details of the lab and explain why the United States needs a far more serious approach to the national security threats posed by China.Finally, they look ahead to congressional primary season with the eyebrow-raising news that Vince, the ShamWow infomercial pitchman, is running for Congress as a Republican in Texas against an incumbent GOP lawmaker. Vince is unlikely to win but Jim struggles to figure out what supposedly makes this guy even remotely qualified to serve in Congress.Please visit our great sponsors:Skip the hassle and book a top-rated doctor in seconds with Zocdoc.

Kremlinology has made its way east as analysts try to make sense of dramatic PLA purges under Xi Jinping. The CCP regime appears to be clearing house, but what does it all mean? Should there be a reconsideration of a Taiwan contingency for China? Is China even equipped to make threats against its neighbors? At a moment of global turbulence, why reduce military expertise? What does it all mean for the United States? Is Xi going the way of Stalin? So many questions; join us for the answers.John Garnaut is the founder of Garnaut Global, where he provides strategic advice and risk management services to global finance and corporate clients as an authority on Chinese elite politics and Chinese Communist Party interference.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) uncovers the "urgent" investigation into illegal Chinese-linked biolabs discovered in Las Vegas and California. Senator Hawley, a member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, warns of a potential pattern of CCP infiltration and demands to know the full extent of this clandestine network. Plus, the Senator sounds off on his recent confrontation with Netflix's CEO over "highly sexualized" children's programming and the platform's push for a streaming monopoly.

As Fox News featured footage of jackbooted masked federal agents terrorizing a Northern Midwestern city the network told its viewers to ignore any reports that showed Americans were unhappy with Trump's mass deportation efforts.The soccer moms and angel faced five-year-olds fleeing clouds of tear gas in quaint tree-lined residential streets were covert socialist sleeper cells financed by the Chinese communist party and radical Islamists determined to overthrow the U.S. government.The true victims of the chaos in Minnesota were the valiant members of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol agents. They were brave men and women who had to cover their faces to avoid being doxed by crazed capitalist hating agitators.Things got truly surreal as several Fox News hosts showcased the mugshots of various undocumented immigrants convicted of heinous crimes while they downplayed the latest release of documents related to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.The Epstein files revealed close personal relationships with several high-ranking officials in the Trump administration as well as the president himself.When the network wasn't promoting outlandish conspiracy theories about nonexistent socialist uprisings and downplaying Trump's once close relationship to a sadistic sexual predator it was heavily promoting the First Lady's insipid documentary and making light of Trump's plan to openly rob the U.S. treasury of $10 billion.It was an especially crazy week at Fox.Meanwhile Fox News polling came out with terrible numbers for Trump across several categories which Fox News personalities mostly ignored. The network also failed to tell its viewers about layoffs at Amazon and UPS or of a huge spike in the trade deficit. This is a public episode.

Creativity isn't a rare talent—it's a trainable process. In this episode, you'll hear a master creator break down what actually happens when inspiration hits, and how to build the conditions for it to return. On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with world-renowned theater artist and author Stan Lai to explore the difference between method (technique) and wisdom (meaning). This conversation is for artists, founders, professionals, and curious minds who want deeper focus, better ideas, and a more confident creative practice—without chasing external validation or forcing output. About the Guest: Stan Lai is a celebrated playwright and theater director with over 40 years of experience and more than 40 full-length plays staged, beginning in Taiwan and across China. His book Creativity has sold over a million copies in Chinese and is being used as the foundation for university-level creativity curriculum initiatives. Key Takeaways: Upgrade your creative results by separating technique (method) from meaning (wisdom). Use the “Where is the music?” test: impressive skill isn't the same as expressive depth. Build a richer inner library—your mind can only create from the “files” you collect. Treat inspiration as combination: the creative mind pulls different internal files and connects them fast. Protect nuance by slowing inputs (less scrolling, more deliberate attention). Find wisdom outside formal education—schools often teach method, not life-direction.

In Other News: "She's free" is a TikTok trend where friends line up, clap and shine phone flashlights as someone walks a celebratory runway after a breakup. The 2026 Winter Olympics in the Italian cities of Milano and Cortina begin today.

The Lunar New Year is coming up soon, which brings a new Chinese zodiac. 2026 is the year of the Fire Horse, and people on TikTok are freaking out about it. Iron Lung, a sci-fi horror film that stars YouTuber Markiplier (who also wrote, directed, and financed it), was a surprise box office success that almost beat Disney's Send Help in its opening weekend.

This episode begins by uncovering a tragic collision in Indiana that exposed a network of "chameleon carriers" hiding in plain sight. We explore how these operators dodge safety regulations by constantly shapeshifting their corporate identities to evade federal oversight. Next, we examine the financial landscape as Old Dominion Freight Line prepares for a potential market recovery in 2026. Their leadership believes the stars are finally aligning for an uptick in manufacturing and freight volumes later this year. The conversation then turns to a massive legal blow against Sysco, where a jury awarded $52 million to drivers who faced retaliation for reporting safety issues. This verdict highlights the severe cost of ignoring whistleblower complaints regarding hazardous working conditions and regulatory violations. Finally, we look at rising geopolitical tensions as a Chinese operator fights to retain control over critical ports at the Panama Canal. This arbitration filing introduces new uncertainty into a vital global trade chokepoint that could impact East Coast shipping volumes.

1. U.S. Government & Political Context The podcast opens with a brief discussion of the government shutdown that ended quickly, and is evidence of political posturing rather than substantive conflict. The transition sets the stage for broader national security concerns rather than domestic legislative issues. 2. Emergence of the Polisario Front as a National Security Threat The Polisario Front, a separatist group in Western Sahara founded in 1973, is presented as an underrecognized but growing terrorist threat. Iran is funding, training, and supplying the group, attempting to turn it into a West African proxy similar to the Houthis. Alleged activities include: Collaboration with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah Use of drones, weapons transfers, and regional destabilization Labeling the group as a terrorist organization is essential, this represents a dangerous blind spot in U.S. counterterrorism policy. 3. Accusation of Institutional Caution and “Deep State” Resistance State Department officials are portrayed as intentionally evasive during Senate testimony. The analysis claims this reluctance stems from: Ongoing diplomatic efforts in Africa Desire to avoid disrupting negotiations involving Morocco and Algeria 4. Iran at a “Tipping Point” Iran has become internally fragile, facing: Widespread protests Mass casualties allegedly ranging from 10,000–40,000 protesters The Iranian regime’s actions (e.g., drones near U.S. naval assets, attempted tanker seizures) are interpreted as provocations meant to rally domestic support and distract from internal collapse.: Negotiations with Iran are a delaying tactic The U.S. should support Iranian protesters directly, including by providing weapons Regime change is framed as: Preferable if carried out by Iranians themselves Potentially the largest positive national security shift since the Cold War if successful. 5. Global Domino Effect Narrative Iran is grouped with Venezuela and Cuba as regimes allegedly near collapse. Simultaneous democratic transitions in all three would represent a historic geopolitical realignment in favor of U.S. interests. 6. Netflix–Warner Bros. Merger & National Security Concerns The proposed $83 billion Netflix–Warner Bros. merger is criticized on two main grounds: Cultural and ideological influence The entertainment industry is portrayed as overwhelmingly left‑leaning and hostile to conservative or pro‑American perspectives. Concern that increased market power could amplify ideological “propaganda.” Foreign influence Alarm over foreign (especially Middle Eastern and Chinese) capital shaping American entertainment content. Content has been altered or censored to appease foreign governments. The merger is not merely an antitrust issue but as a matter of national sovereignty and cultural security.

In this episode of John Solomon Reports, we dive deep into the pressing issue of election integrity, sparked by recent revelations from Georgia that indicate a far-reaching problem beneath the surface. Host John Solomon discusses the alarming findings surrounding illegal aliens on voter rolls and potential foreign intrusions in our elections, including Iranian and possible Chinese interference. With the FBI's recent raid on a Fulton County warehouse storing 2020 election ballots, Solomon underscores the significance of these events and the implications for future elections.Joining the conversation is Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department's point person on voting, who shares her insights on the ongoing prosecutions related to election integrity. Dhillon has been at the forefront of efforts to clean up voter rolls and combat the weaponization of the electoral system. Solomon and Dhillon explore the challenges and successes in ensuring fair elections, especially in light of recent allegations against election workers.Next, Solomon welcomes J. Christian Adams, a former chief of the Justice Department's Voting Rights Division, who gained national attention for exposing voter intimidation tactics in 2008. Adams discusses the historical context of voting rights and the current state of election integrity efforts, emphasizing the need to uphold the very laws that were fought for during the civil rights movement.As the episode unfolds, listeners will hear from David Shafer, the former chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, who provides an update on the aftermath of the FBI's raid and the ongoing litigation regarding the preservation of ballots. Shafer highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in the electoral process.Solomon also touches on recent headlines, including the fallout from a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard and the ongoing dynamics surrounding Bill and Hillary Clinton's testimony in Congress. The episode wraps up with a discussion on the implications of current government funding and the challenges posed by the Biden administration's energy policies.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
