Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow, Japan Forum for Strategic Studies I spoke with Grant Newsham in a wide-ranging conversation about the challenges we face from the Chinese Communist Party, what specifically Donald Trump is going to have to do to defeat that mortal threat, and whether the people he is pulling in to work with him have a similar commitment to that mission. And what challenges they're going to face, especially if the Secretary of the Treasury turns out, as has been the case with his or her predecessors, of being a shell for Wall Street and an enabler of its ongoing efforts to underwrite the Chinese Communist Party, including its military buildup that threatens us with mass destruction.

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies I discussed the Chinese aggression against the Philippines and the lack of American support to our treaty ally in a moment of need and whether that is contributing to further efforts by the Chinese to assert their dominion over the Filipinos and their territory and possibly to prompt the people of the Philippines to pursue a separate peace with their mortal enemies and ours in the CCP. We also discussed what's happening in Thailand and Japan, and with respect to the United Front Work Department, all topics of great concern as they involve the possibly lethal emboldening of China Chinese, the CCP, and the Chinese Communist Party.   Elliot Chodff, Political and Military Analyst, Hamartzim Educational Services Major Elliot Chodff of the Israel Defense Forces spoke with me in his personal capacity as a podcaster and duty expert on developments on the ground in Israel's wars for its very survival, specifically about pressures the United States has been bringing to bear on Israel to agree to a ceasefire that is not in Israel's interest under present circumstances and certainly not under the terms being offered, well demanded really, by the United States government.  We also spoke about the reasons why Hamas, interestingly enough, is not participating in the ceasefire negotiations and is quite happy to have America compel Israel to surrender effectively to that terrorist organization. Trevor Loudon, Creator of The Documentary The Enemies Within Trevor Loudon gave us a short course on the phenomenon of the Chinese Communist Party United Front Work Department's influence operations in America. The extent to which they have been operating for many decades, but in particular, disclosures from 2016 about the Well, not only the extent of what's afoot but its explicitly partisan purposes.  We also discussed the implications of these various Chinese efforts to subvert our elections in the upcoming fall contests.

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies  Grant Newsham and I reviewed some of the really interesting revelations of a Committee on the Present Danger of China webinar conducted on Thursday about whether Xi Jinping is ready to launch a civil war with Taiwan and possibly bring it to the United States as well. Sam Faddis, Former CIA Ops Officer I spoke with Sam Faddis about, well, the state of the world, the threats we are now facing in the Middle East and here from a whole variety of vectors, and what we had best be doing about it and whether our law enforcement agencies and for that matter, Kamala Harris are up to dealing with those threats.

Col. Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies I discussed the threat to the national security of the United States with Colonel Grant Newsham. We not only don't know who's running the government, but we have reason to believe among those is a man who is a controlled asset of the Chinese Communist Party, at the very least Hunter Biden, if not his dad.  We also discussed Japan's state of preparedness to help us in the event of Chinese aggression in the Far East, the shocking discovery that there is a tremendous deficit in the recruitment of individuals for the Japanese military, and what we must do to try to shore up our ally in that regard.   Stephen Bryen, Former Senior Staff Dir. of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee Stephen Bryen and I visited about the efforts of NATO on the occasion of its 75th-anniversary summit meeting here in Washington, DC, to essentially lock in the policy towards Ukraine to prevent President Trump from being able to change course if he sees fit and wins the White House again.  We also discussed the extent to which NATO and the United States government's promises to Ukraine, especially to arm it, may prove inadequate and unavailing. Bill Marshall, Senior Investigator, Judicial Watch In a conversation with Bill Marshall of Judicial Watch, we talked about the January 6th false flag operation and the evidence of its true character that Judicial Watch is trying to obtain through freedom of action and freedom of information requests as what it means that the United States Army has changed the mission statement of the at West Point that will be harmful in the extreme to future leaders of our armed forces and their ability to perform their mission.

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies Grant Newsham and I discussed the anniversary of the surrender of Hong Kong to China and what has happened since. We also discussed domestic threats to our country on the eve of the 4th of July and the importance of resisting what seems to be increasing warfare against freedom-loving people being waged by Marxists here in our own country. Kyle Shideler, Dir. & Senior Analyst for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism at CSP Kyle Shideler and I discussed in further detail the enemy within problem rising from those who've come here, in many cases illegally, and others who are homegrown terrorists or potential terrorists and their institutional affiliations with organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood. Dr. Ryan Cole, CEO & Lab Director at Cole Diagnostics  I visited with Dr. Ryan Cole about his experiences in the COVID pandemic and what was done to him to punish him for truthfully addressing the nature of that crisis and the response to it, as well as to serve the best interests of his patients and clients. We also discussed the dangers associated with the World Health Organization's bid for global governance to every American and our medical freedoms, our national sovereignty, and medical freedoms.

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies  I spoke with Grant Newsham about the winds of war that appear to be blowing increasingly forcefully in the Western Pacific, North Korea, the Philippines, Taiwan, and perhaps even the United States. His assessment is a dire one and is required viewing. LTC. Tommy Waller, President and CEO of the Center for Security Policy Lieutenant Colonel Tommy Waller and I spoke about the work of the Center for Security Policy, which he leads, the vital need for it, and the opportunity to provide some material help to it for the good of our nation.  We also discussed the current state of the US military and the intelligence community. It is beset with terrible leadership and a cultural Marxist subversive agenda. Dr. Karen Siegemund, President American Freedom Alliance Dr. Karen Siegemund and I spoke about an upcoming attraction, the next convening of a national security briefing on World War III, the early years, taking place in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday, June 27th An all -star cast will address arguably the single most important national security challenge of our time, that posed by the Chinese Communist Party.

Col. Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies     I spoke with Colonel Grant Newsham about the challenge we are currently facing in terms of our various threats from the Chinese Communist Party. We explored their increasing efforts to use, naval power and their vast presence in ports and various shipping operations around the world to control freedom of the seas at our expense and that of our friends and allies and freedom more generally. Robet Charles, Former Assistant Secretary of State at the State Department's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs in the Bush Administration, Author of "Eagles and Evergreens"  I visited with Robert Charles about a speech he made about the turning point action People's Convention, concerning the famous speech Ronald Reagan made about Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this Wall, and why it is a call to our time as well. Dede Laugesen, Executive Director at Save The Persecuted Christians & Daniel Schmid Associate Vice President of Legal Affairs at Liberty Council   We spoke about the persecution of Christians around the world, but also in our country. We examined a series of court cases and their repercussions, as well as that of some federal policies for the demeaning and prejudicial control of Christians and their religious beliefs.

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies I spoke to Grant Newsham about China, the enemy without and, unfortunately, increasingly the enemy within.  We also  discussed what China is doing to use various lines of attack against us to achieve their objective of the conquest of one way or the other of Taiwan  We explored China's plan to take down what they consider to be the main enemy. Art Ally, President at the Timothy Plan Art Ally and I discussed how we're fairing in the Lord's eyes. Why we may be facing as much tribulation as we are for our offenses against him, what it is translating into in terms of both public policy problems. We also discussed what we must do to remedy the situation with his blessing, namely seek it through repentance. George Rasley, Editor of Conservative HQ George Rasley and I explored the extent to which there is a prospect that Donald Trump has actually benefited rather handsomely from the prosecution he was subjected to in the form of law-fare, but also with the possibility that he may become a political prisoner literally behind bars. We also discussed what the implications of all that might be, as well as the need for election validity, not just integrity, and what that will entail,  George also gave his insights into the travesty that took place at the World Health Assembly last week when I was in Geneva.

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies  Explored the lessons that are being learned from two of Joe Biden's policies by friends and foes. We discussed the entry of young men of military age into our country. Some of them, it seems, are Chinese military personnel, others of them almost certainly jihadists.  What does the betrayal of the government of Israel by the Biden administration mean for our Other friends and allies we have long had elsewhere around the world?  Stephen Bryen, leading expert in security strategy and technology. He has held senior positions in the Department of Defense, on Capitol Hill and as the President of a large multinational defense and technology company.  The difficulty Israel now faces in providing for its security and that of its people in the face of the pressure on Israel's government to surrender, in effect, to Hamas by not finishing the job. Caroline Glick, Host Of The Caroline Glick Show The extraordinary danger that is now posed to the state of Israel by the Biden administration's cutoff of arms to the Jewish state The survival of Hamas and its intensifying abilities to defeat Israel, thanks to the help of the Biden administration and against the express wishes of the American people.

Where are U.S. retirement dollars going that are invested in Chinese stocks? Assessing China's military strength compared to the U.S. China's much-improved missile program that can reach many U.S. territories

Col. Grant Newsham (USMC-Ret.), has a warning for America: China is at war with us. It is time for Americans to understand that China does not believe war starts with the deployment of missiles, tanks, and infantry. From the perspective of the People's Republic of China (PRC), war has already begun. Furthermore, over the last several decades, China has used influence operations, economic policies, political warfare, and lawfare to cripple America. The results have left American communities jobless with rampant drug use, deaths of despair, and social disfunction. As one example, fentanyl related drug overdoses caused 70,000 American deaths in 2021. This number is higher than the number of Americans killed during the Vietnam War. The chemical components of fentanyl are manufactured in China.     After decades of economic growth and political warfare, China has undergone one of the most significant military build-ups during a period of "peace." What are their next moves? As China has trained, mobilized, and built up its army and navy, the obvious question is for what purpose?  In this interview, we discuss these questions and much more.  Interview topics include: China's current military capabilities: Key strengths and weaknesses China has a mission: To defeat the United States and they believe that war is already taking place. Does China believe they can successfully invade Taiwan? If China does attack Taiwan, what would the attack look like? How would the United States respond? Is nuclear war possible? What is military-civilian fusion? How does China think of Comprehensive National Power (CNP) How have American elites both in business and politics helped to facilitate China's rise to power. On the American business class and Wall Street, Grant says, "You can't expect to win if you're funding your enemies."  Check out the book: When China Attacks A Warning to America  Biography: Grant Newsham is a Senior Fellow with the Center for Security Policy.

China's territorial claims to Japan's close neighbor Taiwan has spurred Japan to build up its defense forces. As part of that defensive buildup, there is now talk of using nuclear weapons to defend against China, which does have nuclear weapons. Whether Japan would develop its own, ask the US to use its nukes or some other option remains an open question. In this episode of China Unscripted, we look at Japan's desire for nuclear weapons, the significance of the disputed Senkaku islands, how stable the US-Japan relationship really is, and why China could invade Taiwan any day now. Joining us in this episode is Dr. Robert Eldridge, an expert on Japan's security and diplomacy and a senior researcher for the Japan Forum for Strategic Studies in Tokyo.
