China is Killing Us on Propaganda Warfare

There's some fear-mongering going on about how, you know, the ports are all empty. Like, you know, we're about to lose, like... People are, like, buy toilet paper and rice, you know? Lies! It is very interesting that there's...

this level of but like nobody's kind of countering this because we tried we tried we tried i don't know but like i think the the whole idea is that we need to actually explain to americans what china makes and it is not rice and toilet paper but it is you know christmas decorations and toys are probably going to be the kind of things that are going to be you

Priced higher or shortage like they do make a lot of stuff, but they're not making like essential food items or yeah Well, it's funny because what you're saying is essentially the plot of how the Grinch stole Christmas I was just what I was oh you're oh, then I good I'm glad I people shouted you down people are gonna blame Trump for stealing Christmas for this Oh, but I want to say about the toys like I I

I don't want children's toys made in China. Like, wouldn't it be much better for American children if their toys are non-toxic? Like not made of, yeah, toxic chemicals or, you know. And then there's the other issue made with slave labor and all those things. And then Trump realized, what if Christmas was something more? And his heart grew three thighs that day. It was the biggest heart you've ever seen. So big, so bigly.

Yeah. You know, one of the, what you've said reminds me of a couple things. And, you know, one of them is that I'm old enough to remember when everything didn't come from China.

I'm old enough to remember when Walmart's – actually their marketing slogan was made in America. Really? Made in Arkansas. Made in Bentonville, Arkansas. Wow. Made in America. And that was their thing. This was back in the 80s and then they decided they didn't like that or Americans having jobs. So they moved it to –

to China. But so there's no, it isn't as if, you know, on the top of Mount Sinai, there was a commandment chiseled into stone saying you must make things in China. That is a recent, uh,

recent development and largely the result of really our MBA class. No end of the harm these people have done to us. But also there was an anecdote. So this was maybe over 10 years ago. I spoke with a Marine reservist who was on duty at our place and he had gone to work for Walmart. And I think I made some comment about China and he said, well,

And he had the party line down very well, both Walmart party line and the Chinese party line. The average American family saves $2,200 a year.

Okay, but what about the average American family that has nobody who's working that's on welfare and then get addicted to fentanyl and and or dies You know dies if they're lucky the lives of some of these people who survive are not very good and That's just the people who get hurt the families that get destroyed from this now I would suggest that the cost of all of this is a lot more than 2,000 bucks a year, but that was the argument and

We save every family $2,200 a year. But if you think about that, you kind of wonder what is wrong with us, that the cost of this addiction to China, literal and figurative, is almost priceless. But do you ever hear this explained?

Not very well. No. That's the thing, you had all these experts. We hear it explained right now well with an expert on our show. Well, what I'm saying is like all of these experts over the years, like when they're talking about, oh, we got to have free trade with China. It will be good for them. They'll become a democracy. It'll be good for us. It'll be good for us. Because American companies can go in and sell stuff to China. And 10 years later, they're all like, we were right. Look at how high the GDP is. Look at all these numbers going up. But they're not talking about the entire towns that are gutted for manufacturing.

Well, that's one of my suggestions, actually, but nobody listens to me. I'm listening. Okay, except for three people. Nobody listens. Matt's not good at listening, but at least two of us are listening. Well, he's acting like he's listening, so I'll take the three. I'm actually just looking at the brick wall behind you. Okay, but what I would like to see is I would like to see every congressman, every staff member, and also every lobbyist who lobbies on behalf of

say Chinese entities, to go up to Baltimore. It's only 30 miles up the road from Washington. Live in a cheap motel in downtown Baltimore, or really anywhere in Baltimore will do these days. Spend a week out on the streets just seeing what's going on. And it won't be pretty, and you'll be required to be outside your hotel room from 8 in the morning until 12 at night.

just to soak in the flavor. You can see the carnage that's been wrought by the way we have let China do to us what they've done. And if you need to take a break, then I suggest they can go to the local high schools and speak to the guidance counselors, speak to the students, and get a sense of what their lives are like, what they think their futures are. And maybe they can suggest they all go to Wharton and get MBAs or learn to be doctors

high-tech engineers, you will see that the misery that's been inflicted on our country because of this. But you look at that ruling class that we've got, and I used to work with these people, and none of them give two hoots. But if you get on the bus and go up to Baltimore for a week, I think you would come back with a different impression about things. I mean, I think the solution is clear. We

We, the people, need to rise up against our oppressive overlords, take their wealth and redistribute it. That was what I saw in a Chinese TikTok video about how Americans need a revolution. We don't need tariffs. We need a revolution. That's literally what the guy said.

Yeah, because he was trying to make it seem like, oh, it's actually these greedy corporations that are, you know, overcharging Americans and that's like Western. Oh, I see how he twisted it. Yeah, it's like the Western companies came into China and exploited our cheap labor.

You know to build your country and then it's like okay And so you the problem is your country that America needs a revolution, right? They forgot who invited the Western company well I mean and who also took all of that foreign direct investment and used it to to build mass surveillance and control mechanisms become billionaires themselves Yes, I actually when you're talking about Walmart grant I got this ad the other day and

from Walmart that says more than two-thirds of products Walmart buys are made, grown or assembled in America. But like I think they see which way the wind is blowing. Well, that's good. They're two, they're two-thirds of the way back to made in America. Well, I think, no, so grown is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the sentence because most American food like

A lot of it is made in America. So if you, Target also has the same thing where they say over 50% of the products in Target are made in America. But that's, it's like. They have a huge grocery section. Yes. Essentially it's, you're talking about milk and apples and things like that. I mean the TV that I get at Walmart wasn't grown in America. No. My gosh. Not, it's from the TV farms of Xinjiang. Yeah.

Well, I mean, I think this is an interesting question, though, about like the narrative warfare. Like, what do we do about that? And if is it only the American leadership that can do anything about that? Because I would say perhaps the Trump administration is not the best at communicating to the American people what their goals are.

That could be better. I think you actually are seeing some good work being done at the state level on this. You've got some state legislatures like in Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arkansas, who have done a very good job of exposing this threat that we're facing from really the Chinese Communist Party, say particularly in buying up farmlands, now controlling about 90 plus percent of the

legal and illegal marijuana farms, which are doing such wonderful work for the United States. Oklahoma is being, like there have been so many busts of illegal Chinese marijuana grow operations. It's really bad. Yeah, and it's actually one of the worst, despite it doing some other very good things. But the assault is pretty much on all fronts. And I asked an Oklahoma friend about this, and he just kind of,

shrugged his shoulders, he said, I can't explain how we've allowed this to happen. But it is about that bad. But at the state level, that can sometimes offer some better opportunities to do this. And some good work is being done. Also, when you think about this, explaining yourself is something that used to be called propaganda.

And propaganda originally had a good meaning, the original Jesuit meaning of the word, like centuries ago. It just meant to explain yourself. And it seems like we've forgotten how to do this. It's also part of something called political warfare, which just means using every aspect of national power to defend yourselves, but also to get the other guy to do what you want him to do.

And part of that is the information part, the propaganda. And we just do it so poorly, even though we invented political warfare and then forgot about it 30 years later. Uh, and then, uh,

We invented public affair, public, what they call it, public relations. PR is an American development. You know, we could, we convinced people to buy leisure suits if you're old enough to remember those or to get their hair permed or whatever, even guys. And we could sell people on that, but we can't sell them on the United States, on the threat from China. We can do a lot better than we are. And when it comes to political warfare, we,

you actually had to give an idea of how bad it is. And you see how the Chinese do it so well against us as part of this, the economic warfare, the drug warfare, the proxy warfare, buying off our elite classes, the propaganda warfare. They direct against a psychological warfare, biological warfare, chemical warfare. They do it very well. We don't have a similar scheme. We don't have a plan for that.
