Podcasts about Five eyes

This week we talk about cyberespionage, China, and asymmetrical leverage.We also discuss political firings, hardware infiltration, and Five Eyes.Recommended Book: The Fourth Turning Is Here by Neil HoweTranscriptIn the year 2000, then-General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, Jiang Zemin (jong ZEM-in), approved a plan to develop so-called “cyber coercive capabilities”—the infrastructure for offensive hacking—partly as a consequence of aggressive actions by the US, which among other things had recently bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade as part of the NATO campaign in Yugoslavia.The US was a nuclear power with immense military capabilities that far outshone those of China, and the idea was that the Chinese government needed some kind of asymmetrical means of achieving leverage against the US and its allies to counter that. Personal tech and the internet were still relatively young in 2000—the first iPhone wouldn't be released for another seven years, for context—but there was enough going on in the cyber-intelligence world that it seemed like a good point of leverage to aim for.The early 2000s Chairman of the CCP, Hu Jintao, backed this ambition, citing the burgeoning threat of instability-inducing online variables, like those that sparked the color revolutions across Europe and Asia, and attack strategies similar to Israel's Stuxnet cyberattack on Iran as justification, though China's growing economic dependence on its technological know-how was also part of the equation; it could evolve its capacity in this space relatively quickly, and it had valuable stuff that was targetable by foreign cyberattacks, so it was probably a good idea to increase their defenses, while also increasing their ability to hit foreign targets in this way—that was the logic here.The next CCP Chairman, Xi Jinping, doubled-down on this effort, saying that in the cyber world, everyone else was using air strikes and China was still using swords and spears, so they needed to up their game substantially and rapidly.That ambition seems to have been realized: though China is still reportedly regularly infiltrated by foreign entities like the US's CIA, China's cybersecurity firms and state-affiliated hacker groups have become serious players on the international stage, pulling off incredibly complex hacks of foreign governments and infrastructure, including a campaign called Volt Typhoon, which seems to have started sometime in or before 2021, but which wasn't discovered by US entities until 2024. This campaign saw Chinese hackers infiltrating all sorts of US agencies and infrastructure, initially using malware, and then entwining themselves with the operating systems used by their targets, quietly syphoning off data, credentials, and other useful bits of information, slowly but surely becoming even more interwoven with the fabric of these systems, and doing so stealthily in order to remain undetected for years.This effort allowed hackers to glean information about the US's defenses in the continental US and in Guam, while also helping them breach public infrastructure, like Singapore's telecommunications company, Singtel. It's been suggested that, as with many Chinese cyberattacks, this incursion was a long-game play, meant to give the Chinese government the option of both using private data about private US citizens, soldiers, and people in government for manipulation or blackmail purposes, or to shut down important infrastructure, like communications channels or electrical grids, in the event of a future military conflict.What I'd like to talk about today is another, even bigger and reportedly more successful long-term hack by the Chinese government, and one that might be even more disruptive, should there ever be a military conflict between China and one of the impacted governments, or their allies.—Salt Typhoon is the name that's been given to a so-called '“advanced persistent threat actor,” which is a formal way of saying hacker or hacker group, by Microsoft, which plays a big role in the cybersecurity world, especially at this scale, a scale involving not just independent hackers, but government-level cyberespionage groups.This group is generally understood to be run out of the Chinese Ministry of State Security, or MSS, and though it's not usually possible to say something like that for certain, hence the “generally understood” component of that statement, often everyone kind of knows who's doing what, but it's imprudent to say so with 100% certainty, as cyberespionage, like many other sorts of spy stuff, is meant to be a gray area where governments can knock each other around without leading to a shooting war. If anyone were to say with absolute certainty, yes, China is hacking us, and it's definitely the government, and they're doing a really good job of it, stealing all our stuff and putting us at risk, that would either require the targeted government to launch some sort of counterstrike against China, or would leave that targeted government looking weak, and thus prone to more such incursions and attacks, alongside any loss of face they might suffer.So there's a lot of hand-waving and alluding in this sphere of diplomacy and security, but it's basically understood that Salt Typhoon is run by China, and it's thought that they've been operating since at least 2020.Their prime function seems to be stealing as much classified data as they can from governments around the world, and scooping up all sorts of intellectual property from corporations, too.China's notorious for collecting this kind of IP and then giving it to Chinese companies, which have become really good at using such IP, copying it, making it cheaper, and sometimes improving upon it in other ways, as well. This government-corporation collaboration model is fundamental to the operation of China's economy, and the dynamic between its government, it's military, its intelligence services, and its companies, all of which work together in various ways.It's estimated that Salt Typhoon has infiltrated more than 200 targets in more than 80 countries, and alongside corporate entities like AT&T and Verizon, they also managed to scoop up private text messages from Kamala Harris' and Donald Trump's presidential campaigns in 2024, using hacks against phone services to do so.Three main Chinese tech companies allegedly helped Salt Typhoon infiltrate foreign telecommunications companies and internet service providers, alongside hotel, transportation, and other sorts of entities, which allowed them to not just grab text messages, but also track people, keeping tabs on their movements, which again, might be helpful in future blackmail or even assassination operations.Those three companies seem to be real-deal, actual companies, not just fronts for Chinese intelligence, but the government was able to use them, and the services and products they provide, to sneak malicious code into all kinds of vital infrastructure and all sorts of foreign corporations and agencies—which seems to support concerns from several years ago about dealing with Chinese tech companies like Huawei; some governments decided not to work with them, especially in building-out their 5G communications infrastructure, due to the possibility that the Chinese government might use these ostensibly private companies as a means of getting espionage software or devices into these communications channels or energy grids. The low prices Huawei offered just wasn't worth the risk.The US government announced back in 2024 that Salt Typhoon had infiltrated a bunch of US telecommunications companies and broadband networks, and that routers manufactured by Cisco were also compromised by this group. The group was also able to get into ISP services that US law enforcement and intelligence services use to conduct court-authorized wiretaps; so they weren't just spying on individuals, they were also spying on other government's spies and those they were spying on.Despite all these pretty alarming findings, in the midst of the investigation into these hacks, the second US Trump administration fired the government's Cyber Safety Review Board, which was thus unable to complete its investigation into Salt Typhoon's intrusion.The FBI has since issued a large bounty for information about those involved in Salt Typhoon, but that only addresses the issue indirectly, and there's still a lot we don't know about this group, the extent of their hacking, and where else they might still be embedded, in part because the administration fired those looking into it, reportedly because the administration didn't like this group also looking into Moscow's alleged interference in the 2016 presidential election, and Salt Typhoon's potential interference with the 2024 presidential election, both of which Trump won.The US government has denied these firings are in any way political, saying they intend to focus on cyber offense rather than defense, and pointing out that the current approach to investigating these sorts of things was imperfect; which is something that most outside organizations would agree on.That said, there are concerns that these firings, and other actions against the US's cyberthreat defensive capabilities, are revenge moves against people and groups that have said the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden, was the most secure and best-run election in US history; which flies in the face of Trump's preferred narrative that he won in 2020—something he's fond of repeating, though without evidence, and with a vast body of evidence against his claim.The US has also begun pulling away from long-time allies that it has previously collaborated with in the cyberespionage and cyberdefense sphere, including its Five Eyes partners, the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.Since Tulsi Gabbard was installed as the Director of National Intelligence by Trump's new administration, US intelligence services have been instructed to withhold information about negotiations with Russia and Ukraine from these allies; something that's worrying intelligence experts, partly because this move seems to mostly favor Russia, and partly because it represents one more wall, of many, that the administration seems to be erecting between the US and these allies. Gabbard herself is also said to be incredibly pro-Russian, so while that may not be influencing this decision, it's easy to understand why many allies and analysts are concerned that her loyalties might be divided in this matter.So what we have is a situation in which political considerations and concerns, alongside divided priorities and loyalties within several governments, but the US in particular right now, might be changing the layout of, and perhaps even weakening, cybersecurity and cyberespionage services at the very moment these services might be most necessary, because a foreign government has managed to install itself in all kinds of agencies, infrastructure, and corporations.That presence could allow China to milk these entities for information and stolen intellectual property, but it could also put the Chinese government in a very favorable position, should some kind of conflict break out, including but not limited to an invasion of Taiwan; if the US's electrical grids or telecommunications services go down, or the country's military is unable to coordinate with itself, or with its allies in the Pacific, at the moment China invades, there's a non-zero chance that would impact the success of that invasion in China's favor.Again, this is a pretty shadowy playing field even at the best of times, but right now there seems to be a lot happening in the cyberespionage space, and many of the foundations that were in place until just recently, are also being shaken, shattered, or replaced, which makes this an even more tumultuous, uncertain moment, with heightened risks for everybody, though maybe the opposite for those attacking these now more-vulnerable bits of infrastructure and vital entities.Show Noteshttps://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/china-used-three-private-companies-hack-global-telecoms-us-says-rcna227543https://media.defense.gov/2025/Aug/22/2003786665/-1/-1/0/CSA_COUNTERING_CHINA_STATE_ACTORS_COMPROMISE_OF_NETWORKS.PDFhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/us/politics/trump-loomer-haugh-cyberattacks-elections.htmlhttps://www.france24.com/en/americas/20250826-has-the-us-shut-its-five-eyes-allies-out-of-intelligence-on-ukraine-russia-peace-talkshttps://www.axios.com/2025/09/04/china-salt-typhoon-fbi-advisory-us-datahttps://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/chinese-spies-hit-more-than-80-countries-in-salt-typhoon-breach-fbi-reveals-59b2108fhttp://axios.com/2025/08/02/china-usa-cyberattacks-microsoft-sharepointhttps://www.axios.com/2024/12/03/salt-typhoon-china-phone-hackshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/world/asia/china-hack-salt-typhoon.htmlhttps://www.euronews.com/2025/09/04/trump-and-jd-vance-among-targets-of-major-chinese-cyberattack-investigators-sayhttps://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IF12798https://www.fcc.gov/document/implications-salt-typhoon-attack-and-fcc-responsehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Typhoonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_global_telecommunications_hackhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_interference_in_the_2024_United_States_electionshttps://www.theregister.com/2025/08/28/how_does_china_keep_stealing/https://www.nsa.gov/Press-Room/Press-Releases-Statements/Press-Release-View/Article/4287371/nsa-and-others-provide-guidance-to-counter-china-state-sponsored-actors-targeti/https://chooser.crossref.org/?doi=10.2307%2Fjj.16040335https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberwarfare_and_Chinahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volt_Typhoon This is a public episode.

In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, Phil Tarrant, Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson and Liam Garman unpack the escalating role of information warfare in today's conflicts. From the mobile phone's transformation into a weapon to the blurred lines between propaganda and “information operations”, the team dissects how truth itself has become contested ground. The conversation explores the challenges of navigating a “post-truth” world dominated by political tribalism, misinformation, and the weaponisation of narratives. The hosts reflect on conflicts such as Gaza, where competing lobbies and real-time social media footage shape global perceptions. They also examine Australia's role within the Five Eyes alliance, including revelations of restricted intelligence sharing around the Ukraine peace talks – a development that could reshape international cooperation and Canberra's strategic outlook. The team rounds out the discussion with broader geopolitical and domestic challenges, from US talk of military action in Latin America to Australia's housing affordability crisis – all underlining the reality that contestation extends far beyond the battlefield.

Matt Ehret and Ghost team up for a sprawling dive into geopolitics, history, and hidden power structures. They open with Ghost's travel nightmare and use it as a springboard to expose how decades of neglect and privatization crippled regional airports, linking the failures back to post-9/11 policies and financial corruption. From there, the discussion widens into the theft of PROMIS software, Israel's role as the “sixth eye” in Five Eyes intelligence, and the deep entanglement of organized crime syndicates like the Bronfmans with intelligence agencies. The hosts explore the rise of the Pilgrim Society, the Federal Reserve's creation, and how monopolists like J.P. Morgan used U.S. Steel to reshape American industry. Tying it all to the present, they analyze Trump's “golden share” in U.S. Steel, Nippon Steel's losses, and how sovereign nations are reclaiming control from transnational cartels. With detours into Italy's populist Matteo Salvini, Soros crackdowns, and Brad Zerbo's Codex 9/11, this episode blends history and current events into a sharp critique of state capture and the global struggle for sovereignty.

Thank you so much for listening to the Bob Harden Show, celebrating over 14 years broadcasting on the internet. On Wednesday's show, we conclude our review of the last Supreme Court session with Cato Institute Chairman Emeritus Bob Levy. Professor and author Andrew Joppa and I discuss a variety of topics including Trump's firing of Fed Associate Lisa Cook, the rise of the “counter state,” and national security and the “Five Eyes” alliance. Please join us on Thursday's show. We'll visit with Florida Citizens Alliance Co-Founder Pastor Rick Stevens, Cato Institute's Michael Cannon, CEI Senior Economist Ryan Young, and former Mayor of Naples Bill Barnett. Access this or past shows at your convenience on my web site, social media platforms or podcast platforms.

CannCon and Zak “RedPill78” Paine dive into a packed Monday news cycle, kicking off with reactions to the world premiere of Brad Zerbo's documentary CODEX 9/11 and its explosive revelations. From John Bolton's FBI raid and its deep state implications, to Rick Wilson's meltdown and the Lincoln Project's scandals, the hosts break down the hypocrisy of political elites. They cover Tulsi Gabbard's alleged Five Eyes directive, new Nord Stream pipeline revelations, and Justice Gorsuch slamming rogue lower courts. The discussion heats up with Florida's immigration battles, Trump's nationwide National Guard mobilizations, and fresh Epstein-related disclosures including Maxwell transcripts, DOJ document handovers, and Virginia Giuffre's upcoming memoir. With fiery commentary, sharp analysis, and plenty of humor, this episode pulls no punches on corruption, cover-ups, and the fight for accountability. 

The direct line between Wellington and Washington will see material results on tackling crime in New Zealand. The FBI has set up a Wellington based office - meaning it now has an office in each of the capitals of the Five Eyes intelligence alliance. It will work on combating terrorism, organised crime, and foreign intelligence threats. Assistant Police Commissioner Mike Pannett told Mike Hosking the FBI has specialist capabilities and having a NZ presence is a testament to a longstanding partnership.

There's a new strengthening of the partnership between our police and security agencies and the FBI. The bureau is opening a stand alone office in Wellington, meaning they're established in all Five Eyes countries. Minister for Defence, SIS and GCSB Judith Collins says it will work on combating terrorism, organised crime, and foreign intelligence threats. "Whether it's people trafficking fentanyl, which is a big focus at the moment for the FBI - but also methamphetamine, which is one of our big focus areas."

At first glance, the idea of deporting 30 million undocumented immigrants sounds logistically absurd. It seems politically suicidal, morally grotesque, and economically unviable. And that's precisely the point. For years, the unspoken strategy among progressive immigration advocates and Democratic administrations has been to overwhelm the system. The assumption was simple: if you allow enough people in, undercut enforcement, delay asylum proceedings, and stretch ICE past the breaking point, the machine will collapse under its own weight. Amnesty—if not by law, then by inertia.But this strategy misread the nature of the American state. It assumed that cost would be the limiting factor. It assumed that there was some point where the budget said “no.” But America doesn't fear large-scale expenditures—it industrializes them. Just as the military-industrial complex learned to turn every war into a jobs program, the deportation-industrial complex is now preparing to turn mass removal into its own domestic surge.This isn't about politics. It's about procurement. The logic of wartime spending, redirected inward. If there are 30 million people to remove, then every law enforcement agency, detention facility, border town, federal contractor, and software vendor just found itself a 10-year growth plan. The more people there are to deport, the more money gets spent trying. And when there's money to be spent, there's power to be built.It will look familiar. Local police departments will get new funding under “immigration task forces.” Counties will expand jail capacity “for processing purposes.” Private contractors will bid to provide buses, surveillance software, interpretation services, and biometric tracking. ICE will become the new VA. CBP will get its own public relations office, veteran hiring initiatives, and branded recruitment campaigns. Every piece of the federal deportation puzzle will scatter across congressional districts—just like defense spending. Just like fighter jets built in 50 states to guarantee buy-in.Even the intelligence community will find its place. The Five Eyes alliance won't stop at terrorists—they'll offer data-sharing agreements to help root out visa overstays, border jumpers, and cartel networks. Domestic surveillance, long a third rail, will find new life under the banner of “immigration enforcement.”It's not that the political class wants to deport 30 million people—it's that someone told them they could. And more importantly, that there's money in it. The idea that scale would act as a deterrent was always a gamble. But now it's starting to look like an accelerant.The deeper irony is that, in trying to overwhelm the system into mercy, open-borders ideologues may have instead created the greatest federal jobs program since the WPA. Not in green energy or infrastructure, but in the mechanized removal of the very population they sought to protect. And every mayor, governor, and senator who once cried about federal neglect will now see an influx of cash and contracts—just so long as they play their role in the machinery.What's coming isn't just about law and order. It's about full-spectrum mobilization. The same way the New Deal turned dams, railroads, and murals into work for millions, the deportation-industrial complex will do the same—with detention centers, court dockets, and field agents.You thought mass deportation was impossible because it was too big? In Washington, that's a feature, not a bug. When you give the federal government a problem too large to solve cleanly, it builds an industry around failing slowly. And it keeps the checks flowing.

In this explosive interview on *Judging Freedom*, journalist Max Blumenthal dissects the West's role in escalating global conflicts, from British-backed drone attacks sabotaging Ukraine-Russia peace talks to Israel's AI-driven genocide in Gaza. He exposes Palantir's deep ties to the U.S. government and its complicity in surveillance and warfare, while condemning figures like Lindsey Graham for endorsing violence against activists like Greta Thunberg. Blumenthal also reveals how Trump's diplomacy is being undermined by neocons and intelligence agencies. A chilling analysis of power, technology, and imperialism, this conversation is a must-watch for understanding the hidden forces shaping today's wars.Watch on Telegram TheGrayzone.com

“Washington has been quiet and diplomatic about their growing concerns,” says Sam Cooper, investigative journalist and publisher of TheBureau.news. He tells Daniela Cambone that U.S. officials like Peter Navarro calling for Canada's removal from Five Eyes highlights a long-standing vulnerability to CCP infiltration.Over the past decade, Cooper explains, Canada has become a weak point in North American security—“used as a hub for operations that affect U.S. domestic safety.”“We're in for a world of hurt in Canada if we don't take the fentanyl and Chinese Communist Party threat seriously.” Watch the full interview to learn what's at stake for Canada moving forward.

On this high-voltage episode of Badlands Daily, CannCon and Alpha Warrior dive into a whirlwind of controversies and political chess moves. Kicking off with Trump's surprise nomination of Dr. Casey Means as Surgeon General, the hosts tackle the media pile-on, Laura Loomer's personal attacks, and the establishment's discomfort with holistic medicine. They defend Means' unconventional background and raise questions about why spiritual beliefs and alternative healing provoke such backlash from Big Pharma loyalists. The episode shifts gears as Alpha and CannCon analyze Kash Patel's fiery Congressional testimony, where he shuts down lies and defends the Constitution amidst baseless attacks. They decode the significance of this exchange, highlight strategic speech patterns in DC, and speculate on the unfolding narrative around the 2020 election, and its possible unraveling. Trump's new UK trade deal takes center stage, and the hosts explore its deeper implications beyond tariffs, suggesting a power shift in the Five Eyes alliance and a symbolic move toward global realignment. They also unpack the implications of the US-Houthi ceasefire, the upcoming Iran nuclear negotiations, and Trump's strategic sidelining of Israel's hardliners. Is a new Middle East peace deal on the horizon? From Ed Martin's Senate confirmation battle to a staggering FBI operation rescuing 115 children from sex trafficking rings, the episode closes with powerful discussions on justice, transparency, and the soul of the nation. Badlands Daily once again delivers the news behind the news, cutting through the noise with fearless commentary and unapologetic truth.

As Trump's trade war heats up and his anti-NATO rhetoric continues, America's allies are having to face a new reality: the global superpower can no longer be relied upon. As core allies like the EU, UK and Canada recalibrate, what does that mean for America? And what does that mean for America's traditional European allies who rely on the U.S. for their defence?    To discuss the future of NATO and Five Eyes, Jason is joined by longtime friend of the Pod, Kori Schake. She has lived her entire professional life advocating for the Transatlantic Alliance and American global leadership. She started her career as NATO desk officer at DoD under GHW Bush and is now Director of Foreign and Defense Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).    Kori and Jason look at what might happen if America further withdraws from the world and abandons its traditional allies; what happens next in Ukraine; if Trump has a real peace plan; and how his cabinet members are acting like a megaphone rather than as genuine advisors. The duo look at scary scenerios: like what happens if the US tried to kick Canada out of the Five Eyes Intelligence sharing partnership and why Trump's allies drive his policy choices towards the extremes.    Producer: George McDonagh  Executive Producer: Neil Fearn    Pls Subscribe to our Substack and become a paid member to support us as we try to support NATO and Five Eyes - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/    Show Notes Links:  Hear Kori previously on Episode 6 NATO: A Model for Ordering the Disorder? - https://pod.link/1706818264/episode/9472a8b7d262dd9fb0cd9827e8947964     Read Kori's piece in The Atlantic - https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2025/02/intelligence-agencies-weakened/681711/     Check out her views on Signalgate: https://www.aei.org/foreign-and-defense-policy/the-wrong-signals-the-proper-role-of-a-defense-secretary/     And hear her on AEI's ‘What the Hell' Podcast talking US Defence policy: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/wth-a-european-supreme-allied-commander-of-nato/id1467993804?i=1000701043889   Learn more about your ad choices.

New Zealand is increasingly enmeshed in Five Eyes spy satellite projects designed to primarily benefit the US Navy in its race against China. Phil Pennington spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Donald Trump's volatile behaviour raises questions for intelligence sharing across the globe – so how unsafe could he make our world? Is the Five Eyes alliance between Britain, the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand Trump-proof? And how might his actions impact it?

It's another group discussion night as Grant joins Tore to take calls and field questions. What's the big deal about Sentry. AI wants to be more like us. And the IRS is all AI. Unless you owe a lot, your talking to a computer. Lots of trolls are living overseas. Things are happening, and quickly. Some news on health issues. It's a massive war for your mind. Killing their legacy is the goal and why most of them are actors. Tuesday and random happenings go together. Here's some smooth skin advice. The social media is packed with Karens like in an HOA. Crossfire Hurricane is in the news again. Five Eyes too. Judge Collier revelations will keep things lively. Elon's posts are to wake people up. We need to align with people to help them see. There is lot's of black pilling going on. It's a fun time to be alive. Quashing two EO's. Thank you to all those who support and protect. The special talents will be needed in a bit. Faith in humanity has not been lost, even though humans are vile. This is a massive spiritual battle above all others. Some good stories from the Guatemala trip. Destroying all their affidavits with the analysis of crooked software. Trivial guidelines detailed the throw away strategies. Book three is on the way. Always remember that truth, no matter how ugly it is, serves as the universal killer of lies.

Can New Zealand and other members of the Five Eyes spy group trust the US any longer after the blunder by top Trump officials? Phil Pennington reports.

Follow us on X: @GordonGChang @ileaderssummit @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Gordon G. Chang, a leading expert on U.S.-China relations. Gordon G. Chang is an American attorney and author of Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America and The Coming Collapse of China. Chang lived and worked in China and Hong Kong for almost two decades, most recently in Shanghai, as Counsel to the American law firm Paul Weiss and earlier in Hong Kong as Partner in the international law firm Baker & McKenzie. He served two terms as a trustee of Cornell University. The conversation with Gordon Chang focuses on the threats emanating from China that are impacting America on the economic and security fronts. Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy speak with Gordon Chang about China's aggressive tactics to undermine the United States. From cyberattacks to fentanyl and economic power plays, Chang breaks down the CCP's dangerous agenda. How will America and other democratic nations respond to the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) led by its Secretary General Xi Jinping who wants to shape the world in China's image? Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America by Gordon G. Chang In his new book Plan Red: China's Project to Destroy America (https://www.amazon.com/Plan-Red-Project-Destroy-America/dp/B0DD94BNDR), Gordon Chang writes that in Xi Jinping's conception of the world, there is no place for the United States or even the current international order. Analyst Gordon G. Chang warns that Xi Jinping believes he must destroy America to accomplish his objectives. And that Xi already has a plan to do it. Xi reveres Mao and is marching China back to Maoism. He is reinstituting totalitarian social controls, demanding absolute political obedience from everyone, and cutting foreign links. Closing China off from the world is an essential element of his plan to save the communist system. His isolationism and xenophobia evoke policies from the earliest years of the People's Republic and during the two millennia of imperial rule. And Xi can't stop talking about war. More significantly, he is implementing the largest military buildup since the Second World War, he is trying to sanctions-proof the Chinese regime, he is stockpiling grain and other commodities, he is surveying America for strikes and sabotage, he is mobilizing China's civilians for battle, and he is purging China's military of officers opposed to going to war. Gordon G. Chang's writings on China and North Korea have appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The National Interest, The American Conservative, Commentary, National Review, Barron's, and The Daily Beast. He is a columnist at Newsweek and writes regularly for The Hill. He has given briefings at the National Intelligence Council, the Central Intelligence Agency, the State Department, and the Pentagon. He has also spoken before industry and investor groups including Bloomberg, Sanford Bernstein, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Credit Lyonnais Securities Asia. Chang has appeared before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. Chang has appeared on Fox News Channel, Fox Business Network, Newsmax, CNN, MSNBC, CNBC, PBS, the BBC, and Bloomberg Television.

The Labour spokesperson for foreign affairs joins Toby Manhire for a special podcast casting a view across a turbulent world. New Zealand, like pretty much every country in the world, is suffering from geopolitical whiplash in processing the torrent of activity emanating from the Trump White House. A postwar order cemented across eight decades is crumbling as a newly expansionist, protectionist United States emerges under Trump's second presidency. In a discussion spanning everything from Ukraine and Gaza to China and the Pacific, security guarantees and defence spending, Aukus, Five Eyes, Trump's tariff bender and the impact of inequality and social media, Parker offers his assessment of where it all leaves New Zealand.

That's the last time KITM hires that local kid “Big Balls” to do IT work. Yesterday's show file wasn't recorded… which one could only wish happened to the first 15 minutes of today's show as David Waldman on-the-fly set up the KITM VoIP connection to Greg Dworkin. It's the economy, stupid, and no one could possibly handle it more stupidly than Donald K. Trump. Inflation was lower than expected in February… remember February? That was so long ago. Trump's own advisors are terrified because they see what's coming. Americans are finally getting the picture, as if that really matters. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick hasn't yet seen the underside of the bus but can tell you that it's a wonderful place to be. Go see Crazy Don for crazy deals! Right behind the White House just off Pennsylvania Avenue! Green card holder, American spouse, kid on the way, Mahmoud Khali was disappeared after using his Constitutional rights in a politically incorrect (for March 2025) manner. Columbia, gem of private higher education, did exactly what Trump wanted, therefore their future destruction as an example will be doubly satisfying. Ohio, for one, welcomes their anti-DEI overlords to all of their 14 public universities and 23 public colleges. Georgetown University, in Washington DC, sees diversity, equity, and inclusion as part of their compliance to a higher authority… the Constitution. Greenland's election was between 6 parties, 5 who want independence from Denmark, 6 who want independence from Trump. The US closed its eyes to Ukraine intelligence, encouraging the Five Eyes intelligence alliance to become the Four Eyes intelligence group, which does sound more intelligent.  House Gops sent their unclean CR to the Senate. Let's see if Dems can keep from being weenies over there now. Walt Nauta should be in jail, so of course he's on the U.S. Navy's board of visitors. Trump communications chief McLaurine Pinover defended DOGE Layoffs while efficiently modelling cute outfits.

President Trump's on-again, off-again tariffs have prompted Canadian store owners to take American products off the shelves, and sports fans are booing the US national anthem. Canadians are also outraged by Trump's repeated taunt to make their country the 51st state, and there are even reports the US might kick it out of the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance. To discuss all this, Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly joins the show from Toronto.  Also on today's show: former Ukrainian Defense Minister Andriy Zagorodnyuk; May Pundak & Rula Hardal, co-directors of the NGO "A Land for All"; Frank Sesno, professor at the GW School of Media and Public Affairs  Learn more about your ad choices.

The Trump administration's national security team is in place, and the intelligence community is feeling the shock. Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" has infiltrated federal agencies, intelligence officials are resigning or being purged, and US allies are questioning how much they can still trust Washington. In this episode, The Atlantic's Shane Harris joins Matt to assess the state of the US intelligence community one month into Trump's second term. They discuss the FBI shake-up under Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, Musk's DOGE operatives posing an unprecedented counterintelligence risk, and whether Five Eyes can survive another four years. Plus, is the intelligence community still a viable career path for those who believe in its mission?
