Podcasts about uyghur muslims

It's Monday, March 3rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 40 Uyghur Muslim men deported from Thailand to China A group of 40 Uyghur Muslim men detained in Thailand for more than a decade were deported to China in the early hours of February 27th, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide. Romadon Panjor, a Thai Member of Parliament, reported witnessing two sets of vehicles with covered windows transporting detainees from the International Detention Centre in Suan Phlu, Bangkok. The 40 men were among a group of approximately 300 Uyghurs who were detained by Thai authorities on March 13, 2014 after crossing the border into Thailand in an attempt to escape persecution in China. Family Research Council has documented that China is detaining 1.8-3 million Uyghur Muslims in Internment Camps. Mexico extradites dozens of cartel leaders to US Mexico has begun the process of extraditing dozens of high-level cartel leaders and members to the United States, including Rafael Caro Quintero, a former leader of the Guadalajara cartel involved in the kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena in 1985, reports FoxNews. The founders of Los Zetas, Miguel and Omar Morales, also known as Z-40 and Z-42, will be extradited to the U.S. as well. The extraditions were done at the request of the U.S. government as President Donald Trump's tariff deadline looms. One of the president's demands is for Mexico to crack down on dangerous cartels and fentanyl production and distribution. Psalm 37:28 says, “For the LORD loves justice; he will not forsake his faithful ones.” Pope Francis's health declining Pope Francis' health took a sudden decline today after he had an attack of “bronchospasm” resulting in his inhalation of vomit from the attack, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Trump and Vance confront Zelenskyy in Oval Office President Donald Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for being “disrespectful” Friday in an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, then abruptly called off the signing of a minerals deal that Trump said would have moved Ukraine closer to ending its war with Russia, reports the Associated Press. Here's the key moment as Zelensky is explaining how Russian President Vladimir Putin did not keep his word. ZELENSKYY:  “[Putin] killed our people, and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn't do it. What kind of diplomacy, J.D., you are speaking about? What do you mean?” VANCE: “I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to end the destruction of your country.” ZELENSKYY: (inaudible) “Yes, but …” VANCE: “Mr. President, Mr. President, with respect. I think it's disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office and try to try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict.” ZELENSKYY: “Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?” VANCE: “I have been to...” ZELENSKYY: “You have come once.” VANCE: “I have actually, I've actually watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens is you bring people. You bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President. Do you disagree that you've had problems bringing people in your military?” ZELENSKY: “We have problems.” VANCE: “And do you think.” ZELENSKYY: “I will answer.” VANCE: “that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?” ZELENSKY: “A lot of questions. Let's start from the beginning.” VANCE: “Sure.” ZELENSKYY: “First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you will feel it in the future.” TRUMP: “You don't know that. Don't tell us what we're gonna feel. We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what we're gonna feel.” ZELENSKYY: “I'm not telling you. I'm answering all his questions.” TRUMP: “because you're no position to dictate that exactly.” TRUMP: “You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel. We're going to feel very good.” ZELENSKYY: “You will feel influenced.” TRUMP: “We're going to feel very good and very strong.” ZELENSKYY: “You will feel influenced.” TRUMP: “You're right now not in a very good position. You don't have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards.” ZELENSKY: “I'm not playing cards. I'm very serious, Mr. President.” TRUMP: “You're playing cards. You're gambling with the lives of millions of people. You're gambling with World War Three!” Social Security announces significant workforce reductions The Social Security Administration is set to lay off a large number of employees, with workers being offered incentives of up to $25,000 for voluntary separation, reports The Epoch Times. Heart disease could be prevented with this one simple test After abortion, heart disease is the second leading cause of mortality. But that doesn't mean people are powerless against the condition — there are some steps they can take to help reduce the risk. In addition to adopting healthier lifestyle habits, getting a specific screening — the coronary artery calcium or CAC score — can help detect early signs of heart disease, reports Fox News. The CAC score is a specialized Computed Tomography or CT scan that measures calcium buildup in the walls of the heart's arteries, according to board-certified cardiologist Dr. Robert Segal, founder of Manhattan Cardiology. He said, "This calcium points to the accumulation of plaque that can cause heart disease." The higher the score, the more calcium in the arteries, thus a greater likelihood of a heart attack, stroke or other cardiac issue.  In 1 Corinthians 6:19, the Apostle Paul asks, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.”  New abortion battle opening up over state shield laws And finally, the national abortion battle is moving to a new front, and it's one that stretches across state lines, reports The Epoch Times. A telemedicine abortion provider in New York has thrust the state's abortion shield law into the spotlight, setting the stage for an unprecedented state-against-state clash on one of the nation's most divisive issues. Abortionist Maggie Carpenter of New Paltz, New York, was fined in Texas and charged in Louisiana for providing abortion kill pills to patients in the two states, where the procedure is all but banned. Judge Bryan Gantt of Collin County, Texas, ordered Carpenter to pay $100,000 in penalties, plus attorney's fees, for prescribing the abortion kill pill to a woman near Dallas in violation of Texas law. He also barred the doctor from prescribing abortion medication to future Texas patients. The February 13th ruling was made just two days after Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed a warrant for Carpenter's arrest and extradition to his state to stand trial for allegedly prescribing abortion kill pills to a pregnant minor.

Genesis 1:27-28Genesis 12:2-3Isaiah 2:2 Matthew 1:1John 4:42Acts 1:8Matthew 28:19Revelation 7:9This Week's Growth GuideGod's Word is both central and critical to your spiritual growth. We invite you to utilize the Growth Guide during the week to further your application of the Truth from the message.•. Monday - Acts 1-5•. Tuesday - Acts 6-10•. Wednesday - Acts 11-15•. Thursday - Acts 16-20•. Friday - Acts 21-25 •. Saturday - Acts 26-28Home Church Questions 1. This Sunday was our OCC dedication. In what ways are you involved with OCC? What aspect of Operation Christmas Child do you appreciate? Why? 2. We looked at the storyline of the Bible and discovered our God is a missionary God from the beginning to the end. Missions isn't just one aspect; it is at the very heart of Who He is and what He does. Is this a new idea to you? Explain. 3. We looked at several passages to help tell the story of the Bible (see the sermon outline). Did one or two of these passages stand out to you? How does that passage relate to the bigger story of our missionary God? 4. What are some ways we should be impacted when we consider that God's heart for missions is good news for us? In other words, when we realize we are among the “nations” and Jesus was sent as our Savior, how should we respond? 5. When we realize missions is at the heart of Who God is and what He does, we should be impacted so that missions becomes central to who we are and what we do. Would you say missions is merely one aspect of your life, or is missions at the heart of who you are? Explain. 6. How could missions become more central to your life? What next steps can you and your Home Church take so missions becomes more central to who we are and what we do? (For example, we have been including a “Mission Highlight” at the bottom of the discussion questions. Your Home Church can spend some time reading this and praying.)Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Hui in China The Hui people of China, numbering around 13.7 million, are primarily Sunni Muslims with roots tracing back to Arab, Persian, Mongol, and Chinese ancestors. They speak Mandarin with some Arabic and Persian influences and are spread across nearly all of China's counties, known for their skills in business and various trades. Despite widespread persecution of Uyghur Muslims by the Chinese Communist Party, the Hui have not faced the same level of oppression. There are no known gospel movements among the Hui, with less than 0.1% identifying as Christians. An estimated 275 workers are needed, at a ratio of 1 worker per 50,000 people. Prayers focus on opportunities for outreach, spiritual conviction, and a desire for Jesus among Hui families, with the hope that they would embrace Christ and share the gospel across their communities.

Shein and Temu-Xinjiang ControversiesIntroduction Welcome to today's podcast, where we dive into the controversies surrounding Shein and Temu, two major players in the online retail world. We'll explore their business practices, links to forced labor in Xinjiang, and the broader implications for consumers and global trade.Temu: A New Player in Online ShoppingLaunch and Ownership: Temu, launched in 2022 by PDD Holdings Inc., is an offshoot of the Chinese company Pinduoduo. It's known for its "buy it now" model and extremely low prices.Business Model: Temu, like Amazon, acts as a middleman between factories and consumers, but it's been accused of unethical practices like stealing photos and certifications from Amazon. Despite its popularity, Temu reportedly loses an average of $30 per order to attract and retain customers.Controversies: Influencers heavily promote Temu, but critics warn against its poor quality products and potential privacy risks, including allegations of embedded spyware in the app.Shein: Fast Fashion Giant Under ScrutinyOverview: Shein, a Chinese fast-fashion retailer, has made significant inroads in the U.S. market, mirroring Temu's success but with a different business model. Shein purchases clothes from factories and sells them under its brand, similar to retailers like Forever 21.IPO and Legal Issues: Shein has confidentially filed for an IPO in the U.S., though concerns about its labor practices, environmental impact, and sourcing from Xinjiang have delayed this process.Uyghur Forced Labor AllegationsBackground: The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), championed by Senator Marco Rubio, became law in 2021. It mandates the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to block imports made with Uyghur forced labor.Shipping Loophole: Shein and Temu exploit the "de minimis exception," which waives duty fees for packages under $800, allowing them to maintain low prices. In 2022, over 30% of sub-$800 packages entering the U.S. were from Shein and Temu, who paid no duty fees, unlike other retailers such as H&M.Human Rights Concerns in XinjiangForced Labor: Xinjiang's cotton industry has been accused of using forced labor, especially involving Uyghur Muslims. Reports suggest over a million Uyghurs have been detained in "reeducation camps" since 2017, facing intense surveillance, forced labor, and human rights abuses.International Response: In 2021, the U.S. labeled China's actions against Uyghurs as genocide, and the United Nations cited serious human rights violations.Impact on U.S. Market and Consumer AwarenessMarket Influence: Temu and Shein's aggressive market strategies, including Super Bowl ads and massive promotions, highlight their influence. Despite legal and ethical concerns, their popularity grows.Consumer Responsibility: As consumers, it's crucial to consider where our money goes and the ethical implications of our purchases. The allure of low prices often masks serious ethical and legal issues.Conclusion Today's discussion underscores the complex interplay between global commerce, ethics, and consumer behavior. As Shein and Temu continue to expand, it's essential to stay informed about the broader impacts of our shopping choices on human rights and global trade. Thank you for tuning in.https://www.buzzsprout.com/2236104/support Support the Show.

Topics of discussion include: End of Times prophecies: Yajuj and Majuj, the sun rising from the west, and the identity of Dajjal. Why does the guest have such disparaging views of the Ottomans?

China is not only home to around 20 million Muslims, it is also home to a variety of different Islamic traditions, and of various ethnic groups who follow those different versions of Islam. In this episode we focus on the Chinese-speaking (or ‘Sinophone') Muslims rather than the better-known Turkic-speaking (or Uyghur) Muslims. From the medieval period onwards, these Chinese-speaking followers of Islam developed their own religious traditions by drawing on classical Sufi mystical works and Hanafi legal texts written outside of China and applying them to local conditions, which often involved translating or writing religious texts in Chinese. Yet despite occasional contacts with the wider Muslim world, it wasn't till the late nineteenth century that these Sinophone Muslims established regular ties with their coreligionists in the Middle East. Those new contacts set in motion a century of religious change that was also shaped by political events as China was transformed from an empire to a nationalist republic, then a communist People's Republic. This episode traces the outcomes of these twentieth-century links between Muslims in China and Middle East.

Religious persecution is raging across the globe. Christian Post reporter Ryan Foley attended last week's International Religious Freedom Summit in Washington, D.C., and heard from experts who warned about the dire situations in various nations. From a Catholic priest urging the U.S. to designate Nigeria as a "terrorist government" to House Speaker Mike Johnson's pressing of the Biden administration to protect Uyghur Muslims in China, there was much ground to cover. Listen to Foley break it all down on today's "Inside Story." 

A letter urges an investigation into suppliers of a Ford electric vehicle plant in Marshall, Michigan. Republican U.S. Reps. Mike Gallagher, R-Wisconsin, chairman of the House Select Committee on the CCP, and Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, chair of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, signed the letter. Lawmakers urge an investigation into four companies allegedly supplying goods and services to the People's Liberation Army, the government of North Korea, China's Ministry of Public Security, companies engaged in the genocide of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang and companies already on the Commerce Entity List.

An entire ethnic, cultural and religious group is being erased. We hear stories of mass detention, the banning of Ramadan, and the closure and demolition of mosques. We also hear the disturbing reports of women being forced into marriage, forced sterilisation and children being removed from families and reassigned to Chinese couples. But at the same time, people question these accounts. There is a disinformation campaign on social media and diplomatic circles, and many, even some government-paid Islamic scholars, have questioned the extent of the persecution, if not the persecution itself, especially since the Biden administration has adopted it as a cause, as part of their fight against an emerging geopolitical rival. So how do we know what to believe. Today we are joined by Abdureşid Eminhaci , he is the Secretary General of International union of The East Turkestan organisation, one of the largest Uyghur organisations in Turkey.You can also support The Thinking Muslim through a one-time donation: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/DonateSign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comPurchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merch Hosted on Acast.

Hello, you beautiful people and welcome to the Adams archive. My name is Austin Adams, and thank you so much for listening today on today's episode. We are going to go deep into a topic that has been irking me for quite some time. And I'm sure it might irk you a little bit too, but we'll get to that in just a minute. The first thing that we're going to discuss today is going to be a Democratic congressman. Pulled a fire alarm to get out of doing his job. You heard right. That right there. You heard right that right there. A grown man in a position of power Elected nonetheless pulled a fire alarm to get out of doing his job. So Peter Doocy questions Kareen Jean Pierre quite A bit on this. It's pretty comical. Some people are laughing in the background during the white house press brief. Um, but pretty crazy stuff. So we'll, we'll touch on that first. The next thing we'll discuss is that there was a leaked us strategy document on Ukraine, which cites corruption as a real threat coming out of Politico. Could you imagine that? Could you imagine that corruption in Ukraine, which highlights on this article that Joe Biden's actually holding, holding Zelensky here? In his arm and whispering sweet nothings in his ears a lot of according to this picture. Um, so interesting stuff there. Then we'll move on to the next. which is that the Pentagon funded a study, speaking of Joe Biden, which warns that dementia is among us officials and poses a legitimate national security threat. So we'll read that together coming from the intercept. And then last but not least, we're going to talk about the October 4th. FEMA advisory, which is going to hit everybody's cell phones, everybody's TV and everybody's radio simultaneously at two 20 on October 4th. Now, if you're listening to this after that, which is. Potentially the most likely situation as this will come out on the third if you're listening to this after that don't worry What we're really discussing as a result of this because some there's some crazy theories about this October 4th thing Some people throw around the word like zombie. I don't know if I agree with that I don't spoiler alert but what I do think is a legitimate conversation to be had around this is the potential harm of massive Frequencies being put out nationally simultaneously and among different mediums and what that could mean for the general public so that that pulls us into a conversation about 5G 5G being a very hot topic when it comes to the well and then really not not getting enough conversation around it as it probably should, because there's been very little studies done on this stuff and its effects on people. And what has been done comes out from almost the 60s, but it's pretty wild. We're going to read into some of the articles, some of the discussions that have been had. Some of the concerns, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. just spoke about this on C SPAN, um, in a conversation with a potential voter, where he says that he's, um, actually representing a large group of people who were, uh, medically affected by 5G, so I, this isn't in the realm of craziness, guys. They put up these massive, huge, ugly... You've must have seen them. If you haven't, you need to open your eyes because they're everywhere, literally everywhere. Um, and we, we just don't, maybe we should be asking why, right? So we'll dive deep into that. And when I say deep, I'm saying deep. We're going to go there.

Um, same time, got my purple belt in jujitsu, had some awesome things happen in other sections of my life that just kind of made all the craziness happen at once.

So I can put out even more content. So, um, look out for that and thank you for sticking around. All right. Without further ado, let's jump into it. The Adams archive. All right, let's jump into it. The very first thing that we're going to discuss today is that a democratic congressman named Jamal Bowman pulled a fire alarm simply because he didn't want to do his job. Now we'll see here in a second that Peter Doocy does a pretty good job of undressing Kareem Jean Pierre. Um, not in the way you're thinking, you dirty mind. Um, but in this conversation during a White House press briefing, he asked a simple question that ends up being pretty funny. But let's talk about this first because could you imagine that you have an important meeting coming up? Maybe even an important deadline, right? Your boss needs something on time, needs you to make a decision, he needs you to send you some documents, right? And instead of doing that thing that you're supposed to do for your job. You go out to the hallway, you find that shiny red box and you pull the fire alarm. Do you think that you would have your job? For very long. If every time you had a responsibility or a deadline to meet you pulled the fire alarm. No Every single one of us normal individuals would lose our job would lose our livelihood That's just absolute especially if you got caught red handed on Video just like this congressman here right now. Leave it to a Democrat to I don't know, find some baby way out of doing their actual job. And guess what? Guess what? One person stood up for him in this AOC. Could you imagine that? All right, so here is Peter Doocy discussing this with Kareem Jean Pierre asking her a question. Now, let's go ahead and watch this video. As always, you can hover head over to YouTube, or join the sub stack, it'll be added there. But head over to YouTube, subscribe there. And you can actually watch The videos with me on your screen, you can, uh, read the articles alongside me that I have up on the screen next to me, head over there, Austin, or the, I'm sorry, the Adams archive on YouTube, uh, subscribe and watch it with me. All right. Um, so here we go. Here's the video. Let's watch it to gather. Thank you, Corrine. When president by never tried to get out of a meeting. By pulling a fire alarm. Are you talking about something specifically? A Democratic member of Congress pulled a fire alarm around a series of boats. No fire. Is that appropriate? What I can tell you is, uh, I have not spoken to the President about this. Uh, and so, just not going to comment. I will leave it up to you. I know there's a House process moving forward right now. I'll leave it to the House. Okay, uh, since President Biden is so pro union, is he okay with 75, 000 healthcare workers possibly walking off the job this week? What I can tell you is that we've said this many times already this morning. So there was a, you hear all of the chuckles during the briefing of everybody in there realizing how Peter Doocy just tactfully slipped that in there. Um, pretty, pretty funny to see. And you see, it's so crazy to me that this woman's job is to answer questions. And I would say 90 percent of the time that she's asked a question, at least one that's not teed up for her by CNN. She doesn't answer it. Your entire job is to answer questions, right? It's like having a customer service. She's literally the customer service of The White House of the government. She's the only talking head that we have yet. Imagine if you called Ikea and you said, Hey, I think that you guys sent me the wrong part or the wrong instructions. I can't figure out how to put this thing together. I have no idea what I'm doing. It's very complicated. And also. You sent me an inflatable ducky instead of a dresser that I ordered. And they go, we understand, we understand that you're concerned about that. And I would love to answer that for you. However, at the very moment, I don't have access to the proper documents to answer that for you, and I wish you the best. Moving on. Next person. It's like, no, no. Your entire job is to answer questions. You should answer the questions. Especially when the people holding you accountable is the entire nation. Only, nobody seems to be holding these people accountable. Right, and that, that maybe is the bigger issue here. Alright, so that's a pretty funny one. Let's move on here. Because we have some longer stuff to get into. I have about 10 different articles on the FEMA situation in 5G and maybe 3 articles to get to before then. Um, but, the next article that we're going to talk about here comes from Politico. And it says that there is a leaked US strategy to On Ukraine, which was outlined saying that there's corruption as a legitimate threat. Could you imagine that? Ukraine? And corruption? No way! So Politico says, A report obtained by Politico details specific plans to reform Ukrainian institutions and warns Western support may hinge on cutting corruption. The Ukrainian, uh, President, um, Volodymyr Zelensky and President Joe Biden meet in the Oval Office for this picture where Joe Biden seems to be, I don't know, enacting some sort of corruption where he's got his arm around him, whispering in his ear, like He smells, uh, a 12 year old's perfume. Um, it says that the Biden administration officials are far more worried about corruption in Ukraine than they publicly admit. A confidential U. S. strategy document obtained by Politico suggests, it says the sensitive but unclassified version of the long term U. S. plan lays out numerous steps Washington is taking to help Kiev root out maleficence. and otherwise reform an array of Ukrainian sectors. It stresses that corruption could cause Western allies to abandon Ukrainians, a fight against Russia's invasion, and that Kiev cannot put off the anti graft effort. Perceptions of high level corruption, the confidential version of the document warns, could undermine the Ukrainian public's and foreign leaders confidence in the wartime government. That's starker than the analysis available in the little noticed public version of the 22 page document, which the Department of State, or the State Department, appears to have posted on its website with no fanfare about a month ago. The confidential version of the Integrated Country Strategy is about three times as long as and contains many more details about U. S. objectives in Ukraine. From privatizing its banks... to helping more schools teach English, to encouraging its military to adopt NATO protocols. Many goals are designed to reduce the corruption that, uh, bedevils the country. Bedevils? Well, that's a good word. Um, the quiet release of the strategy and the fact that the toughest language was left in the confidential version underscores the messaging challenge facing the Biden team. The administration wants to press Ukraine to cut graft, not least because U. S. dollars are at stake. But being too loud about the issue could embolden opponents of U. S. aid to Ukraine, many of them Republican lawmakers who are trying to block such assistance. Oh, no, don't send 40. trillion dollars to Ukraine, that would be terrible. Um, yeah, I agree. Um, any perception of weakened American support for Kiev could cause more European countries to think twice about their role. When it comes to the Ukrainians, there are some honest conversations happening behind the scenes, a US official familiar with Ukrainian policy said. Uh, Ukrainian graft has long been a concern of US officials all the way to Joe Biden. But the topic was Def, def, deemphasize, deemphasized? Wow, whoever is writing this article is, you're doing too much, bud. I promise you. You don't have to use the word deemphasized. Should there maybe be a hyphen there? It's deemphasized, right? It definitely seems like there should be a hyphen there. I'm just an idiot. Um, in the wake of Russia's February 2022 full scale invasion, which Biden has called a real life battle of democracy against autocracy. For months Biden's aide stuck to brief mentions of corruption. Yeah, because he is the very corruption that they're discussing here, right? There's like a guy on the front of this document with a mustache that looks very much like Hunter Biden with a blonde wig. Right? It's like, yeah, we know in walks, uh, you know, he has a Burisma, uh, logo on his shirt. It's like, yeah, no shit. There's corruption in Ukraine, but at least now we have some documentation to show that they're at least acknowledging that, which is far more than we can say about literally every other piece of gaslighting that has happened to us as the general public over the last, I don't know, four years. Anyways, let's read a little bit more of the article which says, uh, A State Department official speaking on behalf of the Department would not say if Washington had shared the longer version of the strategy with the Ukrainian government or whether a classified version exists. William Taylor, a former U. S. Ambassador to Ukraine, said many ordinary Ukrainians will likely welcome the strategy because they too are tired of endemic corruption in their country. It's all fine, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the assistance we provide them to win the war, he said. Yeah, only the entire reason for the assistance for the war is so that the corruption can siphon the money out of it. In walks Raytheon and Lockheed Martin, right, or Burisma, and all of the sudden are hundreds of billions of dollars Turns into 20 billion to actually fund the war and 85 billion to fund third party organizations Which bid quote unquote these contracts and then some type of politician funnels that money out, right? The reason that they're sending so much money into Ukraine I believe is because there's far less oversight into where that money is actually goes. There's very little accounting. There's very little oversight. Nobody's looking into that. Nobody has access to the books, at least not on the U. S. side of things, right? If we're sending that much money over there, we should have thorough accounting going on. We don't. Last time I checked, there was people saying that of every five weapons that were sent there, like four of them were unaccounted for going to. Ukrainian mobs and stuff like it's so crazy how much corruption is going on at any given time. And then let's jump into this one, which talks about the Pentagon funded a study. Imagine that the Pentagon funded the study warning that dementia among us officials. And it only took you three full years of having a president who couldn't finish a sentence or even knew the names of his own grandchildren to realize this, right? How crazy. So this comes from The Intercept, and it says that Senators Mitchell McConnell and Dianne Feinstein Who have access to top secret information recently had public health episodes. Yeah, one of those just darred So this article comes from September 12th from the intercept and it says as the national security workforce ages Dementia impacting US officials poses a threat to national security according to a First of its kind study by a Pentagon funded think tank. The report released the spring came as several prominent us officials trusted with some of the nation's most highly classified intelligence, experienced public lapses, stoking calls for resignations and debate about Washington's aging leadership. Right. It really is quite crazy. Like in, when Feinstein died Feinstein Feinstein, whatever, when she died, it was literally hours before that she, before she died. Hours before she died, she was rolled into the Senate and gave a vote on something as she rambled through her answer, only to be told to shut up by her handler next to her and the woman behind her so that she could just, just say, I, they said, which seems like a coerced vote to me. She was in the middle of explaining herself and giving her full answer at 90 years old. This woman 90. Giving her answer as to her vote and then before she can even finish it with her actual answer or her vote She's told by some 25 year old 30 year old guy next to her in a suit. No, no, no, just just say I don't don't stop talking Literally who elected that motherfucker, right? Who told him to tell her how to vote? Nobody, nobody besides the vested interests that are paying all of their salaries, right? And that's something that a lot of people don't realize. And I started to realize more recently is that when you have somebody who's a senator like that, underneath that individual, that face, that public facing individual, there's A hundred people that are operating under them as a business, right? You have, uh, people who are negotiating on behalf of them. You have people who are working with the lobbyists. You have people who are writing the bills and writing the responses and running the social medias and like under each individual in Congress or Senate that you see or the president, there's a hundred people getting a salary to make sure that person stays in their place. Right? Okay. So when you have somebody like Feinstein, you have a hundred people. Playing weekend at Bernie's trying to make sure that she doesn't die. And if she does, you can still wheel her into the Senate or to Congress, Senate and make a decision on a bill so they all get their bills paid at the end of the day. Right? And that's how it works. Like it's, it's not just one individual making these decisions. There's 50 people behind them who are influencing their decisions, who are writing their responses, right? How many, how many people do you see? Like maybe it's. Uh, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, uh, you know, how many people do you know that actually go in there? Maybe Cruz, Paul, uh, who else? Madison Cawthorn that actually went in there speaking their own words, right? If there's something if there's one thing that frustrates me more than anything at all about politics is how They've pulled back the curtain They don't even care that you know that they're not even speaking their own words anymore Which is literally their job. Their job is just to say things. That's their job Just, just, just to talk, but they can't even do that. They have teleprompters and talking points and bullet points in a, in a journal in front of them and, and prewritten social media posts. And like, dude, be a real person. There's no reason that we shouldn't be able to elect intelligent enough people with legitimate views that align with party lines or. the vested interests, even if you just want to allow the bullshit to happen, that they can't even at least be smart enough to speak by themselves without a written, a written speech in front of them without talking points without being told to shut up by the guy next to you and just say I, which is exactly 100 percent exactly what they did. Right? Literally 50 people playing weekend at Bernie's trying to get Feinstein to make a vote hours before she died of a Terminal illness, crazy, crazy, right? And that is legitimately politics, right? There's a great Frank Zappa quote, and you've probably heard me say it before. Let's see if we can find it. And what he says is that the illusion. Of freedom, Frank Zappa said the illusion of freedom will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion at the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and the chairs out of the way, and you will see the brick wall at the back. of the theater, right? That's the teleprompters sitting on either side of them while they look through these see through pieces of glass telling them exactly what to say like a robot. That's the talking points in front of Kareem Jean Pierre. That's that's the the the social media posts being posted on Biden's social media instead of Kamala's, right? There's They pulled back the curtains. They don't even care anymore whether you know or not that these aren't these words, they're words, these aren't their opinions, these aren't, they aren't anything that's of value, that's a real person. There's nothing but invested interests behind every single one of these politicians besides maybe a handful, maybe a handful, right? And what you see is those people get voted out almost immediately, right? Pushed out by more money. Because they didn't realize what a threat these people were. People like Madison Cawthorn, right? You've seen how much pushback Marjorie Taylor Greene has gotten. Trump's been literally indicted multiples of times over again in the last three hours. I don't know. Right? It's so crazy to see how much they've pulled back those curtains and shown you that politics is not real. Right? And that's what's so frustrating at times about this thing. So it's like, it's almost like arguing with AI. It like, it doesn't have a personality. It doesn't have a soul. I can't sit here and debate a legitimate politician or somebody who holds legitimate beliefs. Because all that's behind that is the brick wall. And behind the brick wall is the, the contractor who created it so that he could make profits off of building it. That's it. That's politics in a nutshell to me. It's, it's so frustrating and so many people have seen through it now. Right? So many people are fed up with it, with the election cycles, with the fact that their vote doesn't actually count, that they feel there's, you know, less and less value to what they're doing every single day when it's involving themselves with the biggest decisions in our children's lives. Right? It's so frustrating to know that you're literally screaming at that brick wall. And we can make change and we can wake up enough people and you're seeing this what people are coining as the Great Awakening. Right? You're seeing how many people are realizing that it's just a brick wall. Right? The illusion became too expensive to maintain. And now they've taken down the scenery. They don't care. They just pump money into marketing, right? And having some marketing background myself, if you didn't know, um, what, what you realize is that in a small company, right? When there's, when there's 10 to 20 people, when there's 20 to 50 people, when there's a small enough. Customer segment that you're going after, it's a lot about creative, right? It's a lot about, you know, at least that's what marketing people like to think. Is that like, maybe if I make it look really nice, if I come up with the right slogan, if the, if the workflow or the user experience is super clean, then people will, you know, people will buy our products. If the product looks nice and it has value to it, right. And you put those things together. A marketing mind thinks that there's true value to the way that you present something and there is, but what you realize when you get into a larger corporation. Is that it's not as much about when you, when you have 2000 customers. That you want to maintain loyalty from that all matters, but when you have 2 million, or let's say 300 million, or maybe a billion customers, I don't know, politics, right? Um, 81 million votes more than any other, right? When you have that amount of people that you're pushing, it's what you're really your job is when you're doing marketing at that level is, is you're looking to leverage and weaponize data. Right? What you, what you're looking to do is how much money can I throw at this vaccine? And if for every 600 I spend on marketing, when it comes back to us, because it goes through the insurance companies who make the, the healthcare companies that are, that are fun or pushing people to get these things done, we make 800 in profits per person or whatever the margins were. You keep putting 600 into it, right? And, and, and that's where you have to see where's the profit really lie. Right. And that's where people started to question the overall narrative is like, was that even profitable with how much marketing, how much lobbying, how much incentives there were for politicians and healthcare individuals and the Fauci's of the world, and like, was it really profitable when we saw, yeah, they made like. trillions of dollars. Um, so for sure it was profitable for the pharmaceutical companies, but, but people started to question, was it profitable in the sense of, of monetary value for the pharmaceutical companies? The answer is obviously yes, but for the politicians, the profit was in the power. Right. The profit was in the ability to pass legislation to allow them to push us closer towards totalitarianism and what you see oftentimes to when it comes to large, extremely large corporations like Facebook wasn't profitable. LinkedIn wasn't profitable. Um, a lot of these companies hinge their profitability on it. continued funding more than they do on the profit from the actual, uh, sell of sale, sale of goods or, or services. Right? So, so when, when you can make something profitable through the next seed rounds that you have of, of your startup by continuing to get investors like Facebook data or LinkedIn data or, or right, but you don't have to worry about. What is, how am I actually going to, uh, monetize my service? Right? Because as long as I can continue convincing people that I can get money. And a lot of times it's just through users like Facebook and LinkedIn did or Uber or whatever, right? Like there's some, some companies that still are not profitable. Like Facebook wasn't profitable until like 2016. Right? So, so when you have the company large enough, you're there, they're, their entire existence is dependent on. Words on convincing large scale investors that they're worth it because we'll figure out the profitability later, right? And so when people are looking at the politicians and segmenting that out from the pharmaceutical companies, yeah, maybe it was profitable for the pharmaceutical companies, but for the politicians, the profitability either came from a extension of power towards authoritarianism, but also B, which is that They need to get continued funding, right? As long as you're appeasing the black rocks or the vanguards or the, the state streets or the Larry Fink's or the Klaus Schwab's or the Rockefeller's or the Soros's or the right, as long as you're continuing to appease the large money of the world, that the people who own the real funding organizations like these, and you're getting that continued funding. Then you're fine. You don't have to be profitable. You don't have to make decisions and maybe profitable when it comes to being a politician is more about popularity, or you don't have to be popular with the people. You don't have to be, you don't have to have a profitable service, right? Popularity in this, in this case, as long as the funding continues to grow, because with enough funding, you can get anybody in office as Biden and the guy who wears sweatpants every day. There's my rant. They pulled back the curtains guys. Alright, so there's your initial articles. The next thing we're going to discuss. October 4th, 2023. A day that many people believe could lead to catastrophe. Now I'm going to tell you why. FEMA put out a bulletin and I'm going to read it directly from their website for you so we can get some context on this. Which I just pulled up for you so you can follow along. Um, and if you're not watching on YouTube, you can actually pull this up for yourself. It says FEMA and FCC plan nationwide emergency alert test for October 4th, 2023. Alright, there you go. Um, you can look it up and read along while you're, uh, just listening. Alright, so it's on the FEMA website, FEMA. gov. And it says release date was August 3rd of 2023, release number HQ23124. And it says, uh, FEMA in coordination with the Federal Communications Commission, the FCC, We'll conduct a nationwide test of the emergency alert system and the wireless emergency alerts. This fall, the national test will consist of two portions testing WEA and EAS capabilities, right? Emergency alert system and wireless emergency alerts. Both tests are scheduled to begin in approximately 2. 20 Eastern time on Wednesday, October 4th. All right, now again, if you're here right now and you're listening and it's past the fourth and we all happen to not be zombies, as some people are saying, and nothing happened, I hear you. All right, I'm not saying anything crazy is going to happen, but I do think that this sparks an interesting conversation. But there are people saying that there is going to be some crazy shit that will happen. And we'll talk about that too. But the main point of this conversation is going to drive into 5G. All right. So it says the national test will consist of two portions, testing WEA and EAS capabilities. The WEA portion of the test will be directed to all consumer cell phones. All. All consumer cell phones. Do you know how many cell phones that is? This will be the third nationwide test, but the second test to all cellular devices. This the history of man. Right? And you're not going to tell me that there's any reason for concern. The test message will display in either English or in Spanish, depending on the language settings in your wireless handset. The EAS portion of the test will send out to radios and televisions. This will be the seventh nationwide EAS test, right? So one other time in history, have they done an emergency alert like this? It says emergency matters and other managers and other stakeholders in preparation for this national test to minimize confusion and to maximize the public safety value of the test. says they are coordinating with EAS participants, wireless providers, and emergency managers. And other stakeholders in preparation, right? The purpose of the October 4th test is to ensure that the systems continue to be effective means of warning the public about emergencies, particularly those on a national level. What does that even mean? The purpose of the test is to ensure that systems continue to be effective means of warning the public. You're telling me that you're testing to see that if you send a nationwide emergency alert. Like the Amber alerts, you're just seeing if it's effective. Like, what about putting that in front of literally everybody in existence with a cell phone makes you think it wouldn't be effective? Why do you need to test that? Weird. It says, in case the October 4th test is postponed due to widespread severe weather or other significant events, the backup testing date is October 11th. Now that's pretty weird to me. Why would they expect there be, to be severe, tell me the last time there was severe enough widespread weather events. That you couldn't send out a national advisory radio waves in the air. How does that make any sense? All right. It says the WEA portion of the test will be initiated using FEMA's integrated public alert and warning systems, a centralized internet based system administered by FEMA that enables authorities to send automated authenticated emergency messages to the public through multiple communications networks. The WEA test will be administered via a code sent to cell phones. This year, the EAS message will be disseminated as a Common Alerting Protocol, CAP, message via the Integrated Public Alert Warning Systems Platform for Emergency Networks. All wireless phones should receive the message only once. The following can be expected beginning at approximately 220 cell phone towers will broadcast the test for approximately 30 minutes during this time, W. E. A. Compatible wireless phones that are switched on within range of an active cell tower and whose wireless provider participates in W. E. A. Should be capable of receiving the test message. Okay, so there's your criteria for this October 4th situation is that at 220 for 30 minutes long. Thank wireless phones that are switched on within range of an active cell tower and whose provider participates in WEA. For consumers, the message that appears on their phones will read, this is a test of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed. Phones with the main menu set to Spanish will display. Let me give this a shot for you. Esta es una pre UBA del Sistema Nacional de Alerta de Emergencia. No se necesita acción. That was pretty good. At least it sounded good. WA alerts are created and sent by authorized federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government agencies through the PAWS, or IPAWS, to participating wireless providers. Okay. Important information about the EAS test, right? This is the one that will be on your TV and the radio. It says the EAS portion of the test is scheduled to last approximately one minute and will be conducted with the participation of radio and television broadcasters, cable systems, satellite radio and television providers, and wire line video providers. The test message... Uh, will be similar to the regular monthly EAS test message, uh, which is the public is already familiar. This will state this is a national test of the emergency alert system issued by the Federal Emergency Management System, or agency, covering the United States from 1420 to 1450 ET. This is only a test. No action is required. Bye. All right. So there you have it. Essentially, if you're within a cell phone towers range and your cell phone is turned on, then you will get this alert. Now there is something that you can do about this. You can go into the settings of your iPhone and turn off. Emergency alerts. I've already done this for things like the Amber alerts. I've already done this. I've already done this, but you should probably should too, because here's the thing, giving the government immediate access to your brain, right? The, the imagine this, if you had a chip implanted in your brain and you could immediately have the government put something into your eyes and flash something that says a message, would you want the government to have access to that? And if you could take two minutes out of your day, one time to turn off their ability to do that. Now it's like, Oh, what if there's an Amber Alert? Well, the likelihood that there's an Amber Alert in my area that I have the ability to help, like, like there was this great TikTok that somebody posted. It was like what they expect somebody to do if there's an Amber Alert. And it's like a bunch of people just run out of their houses and just get into random people's cars and go start searching around for the Amber Alert. It's like, what the hell am I going to do? Like, sorry, I'm not I'm not Like, you know, what was that guy's name? Uh, Inspector Gadget. Like, I'm not going to be very much help here. Right? Now, of course I would love to help and do what I can to help in that situation. But, the access to my immediate information stream for the government at any given time It's just not worth the 0, 00000 percent likelihood that I'm going to be able to be the guy solves an Amber alert. Right? So just turn that shit off. Problem solved. You won't have to deal with it. Go into your settings on your iPhone, turn off emergency alerts. That's it. All right. Um, but to me, this drives another conversation, right? Well, let's look at some of the conspiracy stuff here. Let's see what people are saying on conspiracy Reddit about this. Um, it's not actually conspiracy Reddit. I had to find a go a little bit deeper into the Dark abyss of the internet to find this but it says unveiling the October 4th 2023 blackout conspiracy FEMA's mysterious Tess says the date October 4th has caught the attention. This comes from some random website that you've never heard of C O O P W B which stands for co operation of worldwide broadcast I guess maybe it sounded, they tried to make it sound legit, although thumbnail picture kind of gives it away. It says the date of October 4th, 2023 has caught the attention of many Nietzsens. Is it supposed to be citizens? Rumors swirl about potential blackout conspiracy tied to a FEMA test. Claims suggest that the emergency alert system test on this day hides a nefarious purpose. With such a significant event taking place and conspiracy theories gaining traction, it's imperative to separate fact from fiction. For more information about this topic, you can visit The Reddit. That's legit. All right, so we've already read through the FEMA advisory. Let's watch some of these videos. Uh, here's a video by somebody on TikTok named activate your pineal gland. Responding to comment, 30 minutes is very suspicious. Why? This is in regards to the emergency alert system that's going to be tested on Wednesday, October 4th for everyone. At the alert will be accompanied by unique tone. and vibration. Let's talk about tones and vibrations. This here is a Syma 1000. This is the machine I use. It is the basis of an app and a website that I have called Symatones, and it plays five resonant frequencies through this vibrating speaker. So this is tones and vibration, just like the alert we were just talking about, and it's targeting different ailments or body parts to retune them back to a balanced and a harmonious energy body. See, our energy body's got all these different pathways, and if there's blockages, And whether it's the water because we're made of water or in the energy pathway, then what that does is it causes a physical ailment. The physical ailments can be retuned by different tunes and tones. Back to October 4th, what tones and vibrations do you think the governments gonna be playing for us? Hmm. All right. So I'll address that first. What she's saying is that there's actually vibrational medicine, um, and you look at things like ancient Chinese medicine, things like acupuncture, acupuncture, um, things like, uh, there's a lot of like traditional medicine that leverages vibrational frequencies and, uh, unblocking, you know, what she's speaking to, um, which has actually been scientifically proven more recently when they were looking into things like acupuncture, uh, talking about the, um, flow of the energy flows within our bodies, which I tend to be a decent believer of, you know, having, um, been a part of, you know, actually gone deeper into things like, you know, yoga and Kundalini yoga and, um, transcendental meditations and things like that, that I've dove into and discussed previously on this podcast. You can go find, uh, what was it? Uh, I did a good, a good podcast on that. If you're interested on it, go back and check it out. Um, just look for transcendental meditation. Um, But, um, I, I, science, science, you know, whatever that fucking means, um, the, the, the truth bears, uh, but they, they, for long denying traditional medicine, they've, there's been a lot of studies that have come out that have shown legitimacy, uh, to exactly what she's saying, right? You know, you want to get deeper into it. You want to go towards the Napoleon Hill things, um, is that everything's a frequency, right? Every, the only, every object is vibrating, um, and, and sound is a frequency and movement is, uh, it has a certain frequency and the, you know, everything is vibrating at a certain tone and, and by manipulating vibration, um, our words, our frequencies, right. Um, and, and all it is, is a, you know, vibration of your vocal cords. And with that, you can, you know, Take over countries essentially, right? And what she's saying is that it's also can be used for good reasons medicinally and potentially negative reasons medicinally. Uh, so let's, let's continue to see what she says about that. And why 30 minutes? The water in your body resonates to different sounds, tones, and vibrations it is surrounded with. And not only does it vibrate to that while it's hearing it, but it remembers it within five to seven minutes. Dr. Gerald Pollack on YouTube is a great resource for water. So while my device plays tones and vibrations that promote wellness, what's playing on October 4th? Good. Question. I did not see that part of that article. Um. Ahem. Very interesting. Uh, it says the airwaves and online platforms are buzzing. A myriad of speculations, skepticisms, and stories have emerged. Painting a murky picture. Understanding the context and the facts is crucial to discern the reality of the October 4th blackout conspiracy. Uh, yeah. And you're doing this literally against people's will. So, right, so where I have a problem with this is that you, you're Taking something that's never been done before, right? You're aligning the frequency of the nation, essentially, right? When you activate a singular event for all people at one time, right? I want you to go into a church. Right, religious or not, I want you to go into a church. I want you to go into a synagogue. I want you to go into a, I don't know, literally any religious institution and see what they do 60 percent of the time that they're in there. I'll give you a hint. Vibrations. It's a singing. It's a frequency. It's a it's a it's it's the alignment of multiple individuals in a singular area with the alignment of their consciousness through vibrational frequencies, right? If So when you go into a church, you just, you feel it right when everybody's singing and everybody's aligned and everybody's speaking to the same higher power, whatever that is, you can feel that energy. And it's not just the music, right? And music alone is extremely powerful. And obviously, you know, Hollywood and the elites of the world have have weaponized that. But you realize the positive effects of that. So when you are aligning the consciousness of an entire nation at a singular time, let's just talk about that until we get to 5G and radiation and that type of thing. But let's just say that the tone, the frequency, That all matters, right? It's not like the, and even if they were just testing this, even if that was the case, let's, let's, let's not attribute malice initially. Let's, let's not get into the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracies. Let's just say, even if you were going to, as far as to say, they're just testing, they're just testing a, Uh, just, just making sure that it works, right? Well, when we go back to silent weapons for quiet wars, probably the most impactful podcast that I've ever done, maybe next to the Chinese, um, the interview that I did with, uh, uh, Mr. Gerber. Where he talked about the organ harvesting of the Uyghur Muslims and the, uh, Falun Gong movement. Um, again, super impactful, but, but I would say that when you look at silent weapons for quiet wars, and we discussed shock testing, right? This is... Potentially the single largest data set that could be leveraged. Every single person with a cell phone. So essentially every household in America at a singular time is given the opportunity for these people to shock test something, right? Whether that be the frequency, what does this frequency have as an effect on the general public? Right? And you go look at the CIA documents, you know, going back to like MKUltra times, you know that they tested these things. They tested these things for, for. legitimately brainwashing people behind what what the Soviets were doing, mimicking what the Soviets were doing with the Nazi doctors that we we've took in from Operation Paperclip. And this is this shit's real guys. Like that's the craziest part about all this is like, you string all these things together. And it's like, Oh, you're a crazy conspiracy. It's like, No, bitch, go to the CIA website. Research operation, paperclip research, uh, MK ultra research, what, what their CIA has been doing and what, what people have been doing in, in our organizations, in our, in our public sphere, in our politics for a very long time. So no, all of this is real. And so if you can shock test the entire public at a singular time, essentially what shock testing is, is, is, is taking a, um, figuring out with a large enough data set. What does it take to cause, if you give this input, what is the output? Right? If I, I don't know. Uh, If like Burger King, right? Everybody drives past a Burger King or maybe you used to. I don't know if they still do it, but they're there. They literally have like a chimney on top of it and they have the smoke flowing that smells like Burger King. It's like they tested long enough to see that. Oh, maybe people will come in more often if we put the smell out. literally into the air surrounding our area. Um, that's a shock test, right? They had to test that theory and see if it worked and see if the percentages went up of people who bought in the areas that they did it. Right? So, so if you can shock test the general public, if we have this input, right, and maybe they're going to do different, if they were smart, they would use different data sets, right? Or different lists for this, right? They, they would go into it and they'd say, all right, for a fourth of the country, we're going to use. This frequency for a fourth of the country. We're going to use this frequency, a fourth of the country. We're going to use this frequency. And these different frequencies have different effects on the human psyche. And, and maybe we can weaponize this to either make people more docile, make them more agreeable, make them more likely to have X, Y, and Z. And then they shock test it, they run that experiment and then they take the results and then they analyze them with extremely large and accurate data sets, right? So again, we don't have to get into zombie apocalypses for them to be shock testing large data sets with potential weaponized or. Whatever word you want to use for the frequency testings that they're using, right? This is this is real. This is legitimate. Go go do some research, right? But I I do see some potential issues with this just at a surface level Then you want to get into actual 5g And that's a discussion that we'll get into here in just a moment because we're still on like the first article of this. Um, now this comes from another, uh, account, which says that on October 4th, the FEMA and FCC will conduct a nationwide test. Wouldn't this be the perfect opportunity for hackers to tell the truth of what's going on? The greatest hack ever. Hmm. Saying that they, if they can hack the, uh, What's being sent out and and say something different potentially another person said the spread of the conspiracy This is Richard Elliott says turn your phone off October 4th 2023 a to 220 for at least 30 minutes God only knows what kind of malware this corrupt government will be downloading to your phones if you leave them on during this test That's an interesting theory. And again, you look at things like Pegasus, right? Pegasus being the world's foremost spying software that can be easily downloaded to your phone. It used to be that they would send you a text message, they'd send you an email, and this is, again, readily available information. The Mossad is using it, the CIA, um, um, MI6, all of them use this software to spy on terrorists and domestic terrorists and people who, I don't know, go through, uh, the Capitol building, uh, on a museum tour guided by the police on a certain date in January, um, and people like you and me because of the Patriot Act and they can do whatever the fuck they want, right? So, um, Uh, it says FEMA's announcement. Um, but, sorry, let me finish that about Pegasus. Pegasus essentially allows them to look at your, every single thing on your phone, controlled at all times, turn on your, your camera when, and have it not notify you. Um, so they can watch you, they can listen in through your microphone, which they're probably doing to me right now. Uh, Um, but it, it can essentially just, it allows them to, to weaponize your phone for, for spying purposes. And then they've already had it shown, um, through Edward Snowden that that's what they were doing, right? They were absolutely weaponizing that against citizens with no really due process or warrants or any reason at all. And they actually found that People within the organizations were doing this to people in their own lives, right? Crushes or girlfriends or excuse me, exes, pretty crazy stuff. Um, so there's another theory. Uh, it says conspiracy theories and concerns. It says enter off grid secrets, a YouTuber amplifying the conspiracies volume. He questions the Potential health risks of simultaneous phone activations. Without scientific evidence, he surmises potential harm to humans, insects, birds, and bees due to radiation. His intrigue doesn't stop there. Using a Germantria calculator, Off Grid Secrets dives deep into the date's significance, finding links to, uh, findings link the date to various cryptic terms, further fueling speculations. As of October 4th, 2023, date, nearest conspiracy theories will undoubtedly persist. Yet a critical mindset and reliance on facts remain essential. Only time will unveil the truth behind the October 4th, 2023 blackout conspiracy. Um, interesting, right? So there's some of the conspiracies that have come out. I actually do have, I believe that guy's, uh, video embedded somewhere here. Um, but I do wanna take you back and let's, maybe I can take you to one of his videos. Maybe we're. Too deep into this to get there. Um, yeah, we might be a little too deep. I have too many 5G articles up. Uh, so in walks 5G. All right. Um, And so, so let's go into this. Do you recall, this was back in February 7th of 2022, so, um, I was operating my podcast at this time. You can very likely go back. I believe I actually did a whole podcast, one of the topics being about this specific national terrorism advisory bulletin from the Department of Homeland Security, uh, titled, so again, February 7th of 2022. And it said summary of terrorism threats to Homeland Security. And you go down to the additional details on that webpage directly on dhs. gov and it says key factors contributing to the current heightened threat environment include. All right now, if you just press control F and we go five G one of the things on the department of Homeland security's website. Terrorist advisory says domestic extremism or domestic extremists have also viewed attacks against us critical infrastructure as a means to create chaos and advance ideological goals and have recently aspired to disrupt us electrical and communications critical infrastructure, including by spreading false or misleading narratives about five g cellular and as technology. So if you spread false false meaning against the mainstream narrative of what the corporations who funded these individuals and put them in power want you to think, right, because we all know that the fact checkers mean nothing other than their narrative enforcers for corporations. If you even speak out against that, I am right now. Talking about how potentially this technology, which is, we have no clue as to what its effects are, and you say anything that's against what they want you to say or think about their technology, then you can be deemed a domestic, violent extremist, specifically for just having an opinion about the potential side effects of a technology that nobody knows the side effects of. Nobody. Nobody. I'm not claiming to know the side effects of this. Now, I'll present to you some evidence from some people who do, but I don't know. What I will tell you is, everywhere you look right now, there's a frickin 5G tower. I will tell you what I know, which is that when people go up to those towers and work on them, they wear large, white radiation suits. Like, E. T. style radiation suits to work on the 5G towers. I wonder why. What I will tell you is that there was articles coming out about how large swarms of bees, birds, and a bunch of other animals and insects were dying in the immediate vicinity of 5G cell towers. Allegedly, according to those articles. All right. What I will tell you is that Robert F. Kennedy jr, which we'll find out here in just a second is representing a group of individuals who say that they were negatively affected by 5g. And what I will tell you is that the same people who wanted you to believe that you should get the vaccine also, you know, not a vaccine. Understudied mRNA gene therapy, uh, also wants you to shut the hell up and not say anything about their ugly ass towers that are everywhere, right? And they're literally trying to hide these towers by making them look like trees. Really shitty, ugly trees, by the way. These towers are the most horrific looking eyesore of anything in the world today. They look terrible. You've seen them, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Um, and it's infuriating. I don't know about you, but my phone worked just fine before 5G came out. I don't know about you, but I still sit and shit loads forever, and no matter how many 5G towers they put around my house, or as I'm driving on the highway, my cell service still hasn't improved 1%. 1 percent in the last 5 to 10 years. Yet everywhere you look right now, they're putting up 5G towers. Why? That's the better question. What is the purpose of this? What am I gaining out of this? Or what are they gaining out of this? And of those one of one things that have happened like this, those, those mass communications that have happened, there's only one that's happened before now. How many occurred when 5G was in effect? That's another question. Alright, so, Department of Homeland Security, February 7th, 2022, released a bulletin saying that if you speak out against 5G, according to the Department of Homeland Security, you could potentially be a violent, extremist, domestic terrorist. On that note, let's talk about 5G. Uh, alright. Oh, I do also want to know that if you go back and you had to go back, and by back I mean to Wayback Machine and go to the CDC website because they scrubbed, the CDC scrubbed their website of this article that had preparedness 101, zombie apocalypse, and this was back in 2011. I don't know if you remember that, but the CDC actually gave out guidelines surrounding a zombie apocalypse. Now, it seems to be in the light of some satire. Right? And because they opened it up with, there's all kinds of emergencies out there that you can prepare for. Take a zombie apocalypse, for example. You may laugh now, but when it happens, you'll be happy you read this. And hey, maybe you'll even learn a thing or two about how to prepare for a real emergency. They talk about, and give legitimate guidelines for how to survive a zombie apocalypse. So again, I think the people saying that are silly. When it comes to this because there's like an in the you know, you go to the deep deep websites You go to like the the QAnon 4chan conspiracy websites, you know the things like You know one that I've seen before is what's it called? Before it's news. com. That's an interesting one if you want to go deep but You go there and you there's all these conversations about zombies apocalypse 5g You know all of that so Have fun kids, but if you want to go check this out, you have to go to Wayback Machine You have to find the article And maybe I can, I can link that for you in the, uh, in the sub stack. So, um, or, you know, I'll, I'll put it in my Instagram. So let me, let me give my plug here is, is that the CDC actually had a document released of how to prepare for a zombie apocalypse. They did that. All right. Um, so I'll include that. If you go to my Instagram, you can comment on there. Maybe I'll, if I can make that a clip, um, I'll have something on there where I can send it to you automatically through some automation. So, um, all right. So that's one thing. That's interesting. Here's another one, right? You want to let's let's get into the actual 5g conversation because I think this is important. This is something that I've been wanting to do for quite some time now. And this may go over a little bit and it's already, you know, almost 12 o'clock here. But hey, what do I got to lose besides Being considered a terrorist according to the Department of Homeland Security for talking about technology concerns drink to that So here goes a video of Robert F. Kennedy jr And he is discussing with a voter about how he's you know, she says he's a conspiracy theorist and all this stuff So let's go ahead and watch This video. You are definitely not in my book or any of my democratic family or friend book, a Democrat. Um, your conspiracy theories, they, they literally scare us. Um, we just came out of four years of, you know, full of Trump lies and his conspiracy theories in this country. You claim that you want to heal us as a nation and our divide. And this is not, I mean, the wifi causes cancer and 5g is. Is mass surveillance and, and chemicals in our water cause transgender and, and, and antidepressants cause school shootings. I, I'm so confused and so I'm looking for clarity from you today, Mr. Kennedy. Okay, uh, Sharon, thank you for the call. You laid out a lot of things. We'll let Mr. Kennedy respond. Yeah, Sharon, thanks for those questions. You say that I have conspiracy theories and, you know, you're labeling me anti vax, which I'm not. Or a conspiracy theorist, which I am not. Um, is one of the ways that the Democratic Party and their allied press have silenced me. I mean, you, um, you mention, for example, 5G and, and dismiss the fact that 5G causes cancer. But I'm representing now hundreds of, of, of, of men and women in this country who have gotten, uh, a glioblastoma. Uh, classic cell phone tumors, uh, from 5G, and there's, there are reams of scientific studies that show that that is happening. Um, you, you say that 5G is not used for surveillance. Is there really any American left? Who believes that the government is not, uh, spying on the American people. Wire Magazine. 5G smartphones cause cancer. Big Wireless doesn't want you to know. That's two thousand and sixteen. Back before they totally controlled all the media. The FDA black box warning on antidepressant suicide risk in young adults. Oh, that's from the NIH, National Institutes of Health, saying it's on the insert that it causes suicide and mass murder. But you heard her say, how dare you say that to R. L. K. Jr. Suicidality in children and adolescents being treated with antidepressant medications. FBA. gov. It's a fact. Like the U. N. said, oh, aspartame gives you cancer and heart attacks, but it's okay. And a present black box warning ten years later. So, I'm done talking about that. We just spent 45 minutes or more responding to that caller. Probably a real person, probably not just a seminar caller told to say it. And they just think we're scaring people. We're bad. So I just responded to him All right, so there's your daily dose of Alex Jones But nothing you said was wrong, right? Very very interesting articles that he just brought up and I have some of my own and some of my own videos here that we'll walk through together now one of the foremost experts on this is you know an experts I mean You know, a consistent person who was found doing seminars on the dangers of 5G is Dr. Barry Trower. Dr. Barry Trower being somebody who is a part of MI6 Intelligence, allegedly speaking out about 5G. And here's a portion of his seminar that he did in 2000 and... 21, um, called the Truth of five G and wifi, and you can find it on YouTube, uh, Dr. Barry Trower, T r o w E R, the truth about five G and wifi part one on YouTube. There's only 700 views here, but uh, I believe the original clip was taken down. So, um, here we go. This, I think, is the most shameful document ever to be published. It is by the World Health Organization. We pay them to protect us, and we trust them to protect us. In 1973, the World Health Organization had a conference in Warsaw. Biological effects and health hazards of microwave radiation, below thermal, Radiation, which is what you have on your cell phones. 350 pages, documenting harm to the ordinary person. 107 different chapters, chapter 40 deals with cancer, uh, I think 28 reproductive faults, but instead of telling the world, I don't know who made them make the decision, instead of telling the world it was stamped top secret, with a big red top secret stamp, it still is, and you still will not be told about this, they will not admit to it. The second most shameful document, I think, is this one. This was published between 1972 and 1976. The final part was 1976. It is from the U. S. Defense Intelligence Agency. And the document says, If the more advanced nations of the West, which is us, are strict, In the enforcement of exposure standards, there could be unfavorable effects on industrial output, industrial output is profit, and military function. In other words, what they wanted us to do was set a level of radiation for the NATO countries, set a level of radiation that would not be strict. Hence, we came in with the six minute thermal level that is still in place today and what councils are advised to adhere to. At that time, the World Health Organization, again, what they didn't tell you, on their website, or on their, what they had on these days, 80 percent of the published papers linked cancer to low level microwaves. And the others, you had neurological damage, birth defects. Uh, there, there was no secret among the decision makers then. And every so often, when a, generally when a new G comes out, a new, uh, one of the new makes of the cell phone, the International Commission for Non Ionizing Radiation Protection, they put out an addendum to their original report, which clears the way for whichever generation it is coming out. There's a new one coming out in a couple of days to clear the way for 5G. This is the original, or a copy of the original, uh, International Commission document. And it is of interest to decision makers, all decision makers, excuse me, because I think I'm not legally trained and I cannot understand people when they talk to me who are legally trained. But I will give you my interpretation of this. And this is for council decision makers and all other decision makers. They actually say in this that... Their recommendations are guidelines. They are not law. You do not have to adhere to them. They are guidelines. They say they only consider involving the heating of tissue. They go on to say, for example, Children, The elderly and some chronically ill people may have a lower tolerance for one or more forms of these microwaves than the rest of the population. They will be deemed sensitive. And then they say, on page 547 of this one, In practice, the critical steps in applying these general procedures may differ across the spectrum. Several steps in these procedures require scientific judgment, for example, on reviewing the scientific literature and determining an appropriate reduction factor. In other words, in my simple brain, if you are told that something is dangerous, as a decision maker, you have the authority to say, this says this level will cause this. I am instructed to reduce the level to a point that is deemed safe. You do not have somebody walk into your school or somewhere and say, Sign here, gov, these are radio waves. We've had

“A lot of my friends that I grew up with, that I met during my activism, a lot of them are either in jail or they're in exile,” says Frances Hui. She joined the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong when she was only 14 years old. Now she's living in exile in the United States.While the Chinese regime is “putting millions of Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps, when they are also doing that to Tibetans, when they're also putting thousands of Hong Kongers in jail, they realize none of these human rights abuses comes [at] any cost … That bar for accountability keeps getting lower and lower,” Ms. Hui says.In this episode, we discuss her remarkable story, the Chinese regime's attempts to brainwash people and rewrite history, and her hopes and fears for her city.“I was fortunate enough that I experienced that golden era of Hong Kong. I got to be engaged in civil society. I [could] go to the streets and fight for my own freedom … But a lot of the young people now ... they don't get to grow up in that environment,” Ms. Hui says. “We are going to have a generation that [doesn't] know what's right or wrong.”

How do you challenge the might of the Chinese state?For decades, the Uyghur Muslims have fought to preserve their culture, their language and their religion in the face of China's rising power and control.Since 2013, sweeping crackdowns have turned the once-autonomous region which calls itself ‘East Turkestan' into a heavily militarised zone, where high tech surveillance systems were installed and thousands of ordinary people disappeared.What China calls ‘anti-terrorism' measures have been revealed as something much more sinister - concentration camps where more than a million Uyghurs are ‘re-educated' into giving up their beliefs and adopting nationalist ideals, or face severe consequences.Those who managed to escape Xinjiang are now trying to warn the world about what's happening to their families who they can no longer reach.This week on The Big Picture podcast, we sit down with Rahima Mahmut, an Uyghur folk singer in exile and the UK director of the World Uyghur Congress. She says China has fooled the world into looking the other way, but she and others will not give up.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

Doesn't anyone believe in ethics anymore? In 2018, MIT established an alliance with China's leading facial recognition technology company. Now, they're indirectly behind the surveillance of Uyghur Muslims. Guest host Karoline Leavitt welcomes Thomas McKenna of The Washington Free Beacon to discuss the issue local to many of Grace Curley's listeners.

Townhall Review – July 1, 2023 Hugh Hewitt talks to Nikki Haley about the mistreatment of Uyghur Muslims in China and the Chinese ambassador's justifications, highlighting the need for action. Larry O'Connor and Peter Schweizer discuss the corruption within the Biden family, focusing on Hunter Biden's business ties in China and Ukraine. Charlie Kirk talks with Sean Davis of the Federalist to reveal startling details about Hunter Biden's suspicious burner phone, deep-seated corruption in the Biden administration, and calling for impeachment in a scandal that eclipses Watergate. Hugh Hewitt and Florida Congressman Mike Waltz discuss the Wagner Group's recent attempted coup in Russia, its impact on Russian security, the strain from the Ukraine conflict, and the major blow to Putin's grip on power. Sebastian Gorka and media mogul Conrad Black dive deep into the Wagner Group's mutiny, unveiling a monumental shift in Putin's control over the Ukrainian invasion - a grave blow to his leadership. Hugh Hewitt and Larry P. Arnn, President of Hillsdale College, discuss the Declaration of Independence's historical significance and contemporary relevance in the United States' deepening political polarization. Then, as the 250th anniversary of our nation's founding rapidly approaches, we reach deep into the archives. Dennis Prager and the late British historian Paul Johnson explore George Washington's instrumental role in American history, revealing his conservative stance during the Revolution and his strategic, patient leadership — a fitting and insightful tribute to this Founding Father for the Fourth of July.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In hour 2, guest host Mike Opelka talks about the mayor of Miami, Francis Suarez, who is allegedly running for President. He was on the Hugh Hewitt show and when asked what his campaign would be saying about Uyghur Muslims in Chinese camps, Suarez was confused by a key part of the question. What are Uyghurs?

My guest today is Keyu Jin. Keyu Jin is a Chinese economist currently teaching at the London School of Economics, and she just published a book called "The New China Playbook". Keyu gave a TED Talk about a month ago, the same week that I did, and that's how I became aware of her.​​​​​​​So Keyu has an unorthodox stance on China, at least to a Western audience. It's now a bipartisan consensus that China is our main geopolitical rival and that we ought to treat China as if not an outright enemy than at least a major adversary. From trade wars to theft of our intellectual property to spy balloons, most American politicians would endorse a tough on China stance, at least in principle. Keyu Jin believes that this is the wrong approach. She thinks that America and the West have misunderstood and unfairly villainized China.As you'll hear in our conversation, I don't share her view, but I'm always interested to hear the arguments of the lone voice willing to buck a consensus. So we talk about China's economy, its strengths and its weaknesses. We discuss China's political system and why it differs from countries like South Korea and Japan. We talk about China's declining birth rate. We talk about the problem of brain drain from China. We talk about China's current human rights record, including its detention of around a million Uyghur Muslims and other minorities in Xinjiang. We talk about China's aspirations to annex Taiwan and much more.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: JPMorgan has downgraded Target's stock after backlash stemming from their sale of trans-merchandise for children. Caroline Downey of National Review writes, “[t]he stock was demoted from overweight, which means the broker has a positive outlook on the company's prospects due to its current share price and that the stock is considered a strong buy, to neutral, which means the broker believes the investor should hold the stock as its price may not change.” Meanwhile, Bud Light continues to struggle financially following its affiliation with transgender-activist Dylan Mulvaney. Target's market capitalization has dropped a massive $12 billion dollars, while Anheuser-Busch—parent company of Bud Light—has lost roughly $5 billion in market capitalization. You can read Downey's article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/jpmorgan-downgrades-target-stock-amid-backlash-over-lgbt-merchandise/#:~:text=Target%27s%20stock%20was%20downgraded%20on,the%20store%27s%20LGBT%20product%20campaign June 1st kicked off Pride Month. An NBC Nightly News report from Stephanie Gosk bemoaned the fact that several companies have begun to be less vociferous in their support/participation in Pride Month—specifically, elements of the LGBTQ+ community that have been outspoken in their support for “gender affirming” procedures on children. If companies are seeking to support oppressed groups, why isn't there a month supporting Uyghur Muslims in China. During a recent press conference, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau—son of Pierre Trudeau, and definitely not a Cuban dictator—talked about the merits of recycling!

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (06/02/2023): 3:05pm- Shortly after delivering the commencement address to the U.S. Air Force Academy on Thursday, President Joe Biden took a scary fall—thankfully, after being helped up by several secret service agents he appeared to be ok. While some questioned whether this was a symptom of his advanced age, members of the mainstream media were quick to jump in and dismiss those fears. 3:10pm- June 1st kicked off Pride Month. An NBC Nightly News report from Stephanie Gosk bemoaned the fact that several companies have begun to be less vociferous in their support/participation in Pride Month—specifically, elements of the LGBTQ+ community that have been outspoken in their support for “gender affirming” procedures on children. For example, following backlash from parents, the Target retail chain removed children's swimsuits that promised to “bind” and “tuck”—appealing to transgender-identifying kids. 3:15pm- JPMorgan has downgraded Target's stock after backlash stemming from their sale of trans-merchandise for children. Caroline Downey of National Review writes, “[t]he stock was demoted from overweight, which means the broker has a positive outlook on the company's prospects due to its current share price and that the stock is considered a strong buy, to neutral, which means the broker believes the investor should hold the stock as its price may not change.” You can read more here: https://www.nationalreview.com/news/jpmorgan-downgrades-target-stock-amid-backlash-over-lgbt-merchandise/#:~:text=Target%27s%20stock%20was%20downgraded%20on,the%20store%27s%20LGBT%20product%20campaign 3:35pm- During a town hall-style interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, former President Donald Trump mocked Chris Christie's presumed run for president in 2024—pointing out that the former New Jersey Governor is barely polling at 1%. 3:45pm- State Senator Ed Durr—representing New Jersey's 3rd Legislative District—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his reelection campaign.

However, as economist Dr. EJ Antoni notes, a significant number of those new jobs were courtesy of government employment—with real hourly and weekly earnings still struggling due to inflation. 4:15pm- According to a report from Patrick Thomas of The Wall Street Journal, beef prices in the U.S. are on the rise due to inflation which has “pushed up prices for fuel, feed and equipment”—complicated by “[s]evere drought in many key cattle-producing states, such as Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, parched grazing pastures, requiring spending on supplemental feed such as alfalfa and hay—which are up more than 20% on average from the prior year.” You can read the full article here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/beef-prices-high-summer-barbecue-12a08905?mod=hp_lead_pos5 4:20pm- While appearing on MSNBC, White House Economic Advisor Bharat Ramamurti said he believes that middle class families are doing well and, consequently, the economy is doing well under President Joe Biden's leadership. However, as RNC research notes, the average American family has lost roughly $10,000 paying for increased costs from inflation since President Biden took office. 4:30pm- According to Andrew C. McCarthy, “FBI director Chris Wray reached a compromise with committee chairman James Comer (R-KY)” regarding a House Oversight Committee subpoenaed document which is alleged to show members of the Biden family were receiving payments from foreign nationals for policy influence while Joe Biden was Vice President. McCarthy writes, that “[t]he FBI will bring the subpoenaed document at the center of the dispute to the House on Monday. There, Comer and the committee's ranking member, Jamie Raskin (D-MD), will review it and receive a related briefing from the bureau.” You can read the article here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/06/comer-and-wray-strike-compromise-staving-off-oversight-committee-contempt-citation/ 4:40pm- Dr. Victoria Coates—former Deputy National Security Advisor & Senior Research Fellow at The Heritage Foundation—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the Biden-McCarthy debt ceiling agreement that has now passed in the House and Senate. Dr. Coates also talks about French President Emmanuel Macron's call for NATO to provide stronger security guarantees for Ukraine. But won't the burden of additional spending to support Ukraine be disproportionately placed on American taxpayers—not France? 5:05pm- Comedian Chrissie Mayr joins The Rich Zeoli Show. Last month, Chrissie made fun of transgender-activist Dylan Mulvaney during her stand-up show and immediately received backlash from members of the audience—causing the clip to go viral on social media. 5:20pm- During a town hall-style interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, former President Donald Trump mocked Chris Christie's presumed run for president in 2024—pointing out that the former New Jersey Governor is barely polling at 1%. 5:30pm- Earlier this week, former President Donald Trump criticized Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' handling of the COVID-19 pandemic—going as far as to compare him unfavorably to former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo. In response, DeSantis exclaimed Trump's “whole family moved to Florida under my governorship!” 5:45pm- During an interview with the Babylon Bee, Elon Musk discussed the line of code that Twitter executives had used to suppress Tweets on the social media platform prior to his ownership. 6:05pm- JPMorgan has downgraded Target's stock after backlash stemming from their sale of trans-merchandise for children.

The Prime Minister in exile of East Turkestan, Salih Hudayar, is joining me for this week's podcast. East Turkestan is the homeland of the Uyghur Muslims. Hudayar shares his personal story of growing up in East Turkestan and his family's experience with political persecution.

Did you miss any of The Rich Zeoli Show this week? It's ok. We forgive you. But now is your chance to catch-up on all of the action: On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the appointment of a Special Counsel to oversee an investigation into former President Donald Trump. Jack Smith will lead a probe into Trump's handling of classified documents found at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida and other federal crimes stemming from his conduct following his 2020 election defeat. Garland explained that his decision to appoint a Special Counsel was driven by Trump's recent announcement to run for the President in 2024 and the Justice Department's subsequent fear of appearing politicized. Will this irreparably damage Trump's presidential hopes or only serve to rally his base?  During a recent earnings call, Target CFO Michael Fiddelke estimated that the big-box store has lost over $400 million in profits due to retail theft over the past year. Last year, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez referred to rising thefts in progressive cities a “myth.” While speaking with Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) at a Congressional hearing, Stanford Professor Dr. Jay Bhattacharya described medical censorship during the COVID-19 pandemic as a “disaster” and suggested that it may have led to people being killed. Dr. Bhattacharya also noted that one of the primary sources of “misinformation” has been the federal government. Dakota Wood—Senior Research Fellow for Defense Programs at The Heritage Foundation—joins the show to discuss President Joe Biden's meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Wood explains that, despite the 3-hour meeting, Biden ignored topics like the origins of COVID-19, the enslavement of Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region of northwest China, and intellectual property theft. Meanwhile, President Xi reiterated that Taiwanese independence is a red line for Beijing. What will it take to deter China from seizing Taiwan? 

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: In his opening remarks from Indonesia, following his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, President Joe Biden discussed cooperation to meet climate goals—despite China's continued, rapid expansion of coal mines. An internal Republican battle between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump seems to already be in high-gear. Will this rivalry fracture the political party?

President Xi did not speak with any foreign journalists. 3:45pm- Rich hates his producers: Matt didn't like “Yellowstone” and Daniel, despite earning a bartending license, does not know the difference between seltzer and hard seltzer. 4:05pm- With over 93% of the vote counted, Democrat Katie Hobbs leads Republican Kari Lake—50.5% of the total to 49.5%. But the election was nearly one-week ago, why is Arizona still counting? How has chaos become an acceptable routine every election cycle? To suggest there needs to be alterations in the way votes are tabulated is not synonymous with claims of election fraud despite what many Democrats claim. While on CNN, Ana Navarro claimed that Governor Ron DeSantis “gamed the system” in Florida—why isn't she being accused of embracing election fraud? 4:35pm- Assuming projections are correct, and Republicans take control of the House of Representatives, will there be investigations into Hunter Biden and the Biden family's business interactions with foreign corporations in China and Ukraine? Democrats are already condemning any Congressional investigation—aren't they being inconsistent considering how frequently they investigated Donald Trump and his administration? 4:50pm- Will Kevin McCarthy be the next Speaker of the House? According to ABC's John Karl, McCarthy is no longer a “lock” to win speakership.

In the book, Hart uses data to demonstrate how children were “irreversibly damaged” educationally via over-the-top lockdown policies that resulted in remote learning for prolonged periods of time. 6:05pm- In his opening remarks from Indonesia, following his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, President Joe Biden discussed cooperation to meet climate goals—despite China's continued, rapid expansion of coal mines. 6:25pm- An internal Republican battle between Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former President Donald Trump seems to already be in high-gear.

With divisions and rhetoric running rampant, there's no doubt we are living through some troubling times. Progressives are constantly attacking and trying to bring down the institutions that made America the great country it is, while conservatives often talk a big game but fail to act. Many are left wondering, what do we do to improve the situation? Furthermore, what can we do? Travis Wilson, former Green Beret and founder and CEO of Alpha Elite Performance, joins us to discuss the issues facing our nation and the issues plaguing our veterans. The men and women who fight so bravely to protect the rights many people take for granted are struggling through a pandemic of PTSD.
