Keith Kellogg, former U.S. national security adviser discusses the Biden administration response to the Chinese spy balloon last week and China testing the waters on its impending invasion of Taiwan. The retired Army lieutenant general says Biden administration needs “to push back on the Chinese right away and show a level of strength." Saying, after the discovering of the balloon, “Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense picks up the phone tries to call [Chinese] minister of defense secretary. He didn't take the call. And I said, 'Okay, that's just the level of lack of respect that they have for this administration." Kellogg responds, "Who knows what's gonna happen next?" Going on to say that he thinks China is “testing us seeing how we're going to respond if something were to happen to Taiwan. Will we respond to it?" See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

John Bolton talks about the recent stunning revelation of last week Chinese spy balloon has been going undetected or disregarded by the Pentagon and sending China a message. The former National Security Adviser says that “one thing that gets Chinese attention is to impose tariffs on them. So how about [imposing] a tariff on goods dealing with aerospace technology and just whip a 50% tariff on them or prohibit them from entering the United States until they get the message.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Iowa Congressman Randy Feenstra discusses his backing of the new FARM Act and the need for curbing Chinese farm ownership in the United States. The new House Agriculture Member comments that he believes “that American farmland belongs to the American farmer, and what that that's what the [the FARM Act] does, it investigates why foreign investors are buying the land in the United States, and it goes through a review of why the investment being made, and if it is a concern for security purposes, then we have to stop these purchases from happening.” The Congressman says that Americans need to understand that currently “foreign investors own 37.5 million acres of American farmland, that's actually bigger than the state of Iowa, and what [Congress] wants to do is get down to why are they buying it. When we saw this in Grand Forks, North Dakota, where the Fufeng group, a Chinese based manufacturer, who is tied obviously to the Chinese Communist Party, bought land right next to a military installation. Alright, that's a security issue. When we see balloons flying overhead, it should give us great pause, that not only are they controlling what's above us, but they're also buying land that we have, that we do our business on. So we've got to get to the bottom of this, that's the FARM Act does, investigates it and stops it from happening.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Victoria Coates discusses awakening America, the shooting down of the Chinese spy balloon over the weekend, and why it will be this generation’s “Sputnik” moment. The former Trump deputy national security adviser comments that “this weekend is the moment when the threat from communist China literally came home, came to the United States, the American people can be excused for sort of seeing this as an abstract. In the past, particularly because a lot of China's own efforts to appear benign, everything from the panda bears at the National Zoo to the Confucius Academies in our schools, they tried to seem benign, but when the good people of Montana looked up and said, ‘that's no moon,’ and then demanded to know what the heck is that thing? Literally, Americans are watching in real time as their sovereignty is being invaded by something the size of three Greyhound buses loaded with surveillance equipment. The good news is, I think the wake up moment has has worked, we have awakened and I think it's late in the game, but there's still time for the United States to reposture itself onto almost a Cold War type footing after Sputnik and really confront this for the intolerable threat that it is.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Mike Huckabee discusses the two-tiered system of justice in Washington, the complicity of the mainstream media, and the “Biden crime family.” The former Presidential candidate describes the Biden classified document scandal, and says that even beyond the Biden documents, he “believes we're looking at political scandals involving the Biden crime family, that make every controversy that we've seen, whether it was in the Clinton administration, or whether it was Iran-Contra during Reagan, Watergate, doesn't matter.” Also, Rep. Ben Cline, new chairman of the Republican Study Committee’s Budget and Spending Task Force, discusses current plans for reducing government spending. The Virginia Congress also discusses Biden’s first trip “near the” Southern Border, saying Biden “needs to stay down there until he actually gets to see for himself the horrors that are happening at the border when it comes to the drugs that are being trafficked, the human trafficking that's occurring, the abuse that's occurring to children and to women, it is a tragedy of immense proportions.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Father Frank Pavone, Director of Priests For Life, discusses the state of the Catholic Church, the overturning of Roe v. Wade this past Spring, and the changing landscape of religious freedom in the United States. Father Pavone comments, unfortunately, we have a major political party, the Democratic Party, which looks at what we would call religious freedom, as discrimination and they literally call it that. Well, when you have a major political party, looking at religious freedom as discrimination, you are on the road to persecution. And when people see, when it hits close enough to home, that they can't go to Mass because their priest is in jail. I think this is what's going to lead to the revival.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Andy Roth, President of State Freedom Caucus discussed the House Freedom Caucus expanding into State legislatures because, “there is a problem occurring in the 50 states, because there are 50 swamps, not just DC.” Roth comments, that Gary seeing that this was a nationwide problem, they decided to take House Freedom Caucus model, since it works, “as we saw earlier this month when they flop McCarthy on the speaker fight. So we decided that let's just take that business model and push it down into the states. So a little bit over a year ago, we launched our first one, the Georgia Freedom Caucus, and since then we've since rolled out nine more. And it's includes South Carolina, Mississippi, a lot of the Mountain West states, and even some blue states like Illinois. And our hope is that eventually we'll get into all 50 states because you know, DC is very good at meddling in our affairs, but even their long tentacles don't necessarily get involved in certain issues.” The Leader of the movement comments, many of the current fights like, “school choice, abortion is now at the state level, CRT in our classrooms, election Integrity, there's a long list of things that go on and on, all of the crony capitalism that occurs with regulations, spending and taxes are at the state level and it's occurring in the dark. Because think about it, most people don't know who their state rep is or their state senator, and the media attention isn’t focused on all the bills that go through the state capitals, there's very little attention to it. And if there is attention, I doubt that there's been fair reporting, occurring. And so all of these things work against conservatives. And so we believe that the antidote is more freedom caucuses. At the state level.” Saying, “that is what the fight is over, transparency and honesty about what government is actually doing.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
