Iran is not the final exam! The real test is CCP’s unrestricted warfare

0:00It's the tip of the spare in the epic battle to defend the United States of America. The National Security Hour exposes the wolves and sheep clothing and then a various plots to undermine and destroy U.S. National Security. Looking back, America, this is your host for the Thursday National Security Hour on the 5th of March, 2026. And now it's time for another National Security Hour. Today's show we have a lot of good topics to discuss. We're going to talk about patterns. And just like this time of year in an academic year, we're right here in March. We're looking

1:02at some midterms for the academic year. I'm not talking about the elections right now. This is national security, not politics, but there is in nexus. But let's talk about what so far this calendar year since January are the topics that we have talked about in relations to what I just mentioned as far as patterns. And I don't have a crystal ball. These are things that a reasonable person can assume and make calculated decisions from. But we've talked a few times here in the past several months about Venezuela, prior to any interaction between the United States and Venezuela as we've seen right at the beginning of this year. We've also seen and discussed in depth. And some people may have thought, well, drones and missiles, YC bringing this up, that's not national security. And we've come

2:07to find out that it really is. As I said, that is the high technology that many of these countries currently all eyes in the world are focused on Iran. And Iran pursued a strategy, a national security strategy. And they are the 18th largest military on the planet. The 8th largest by size in the Middle East. And they are instead of going with high tech aircraft and a large massive amount of conventional force, which they do have a significant amount of active and reserved totaling just about a million. That's significant for a country their size. But it's their investments in drones and in missiles. And instead of committing that to other areas of their national defense. But we've talked in depth about the future of drones and how this current secretary of war has been adamant and he's been pounding the table and saying again and again,

3:12and he's been demonstrating on the White House lawn of using many different manufacturers to get the cutting edge technology. And sometimes that creates a lot of innovation. Sometimes it can create some confusion. But we want to be able to provide that uncertainty in that shock and all. And then there comes with that in our American arsenal. Some some version control in some confusion because we're moving at such a rapid pace. But it's very important that we talked about that. And now we're seeing the use by one of our adversaries that we talked about as far as drones and missiles. And that leads us into another topic that we talked about so far this year. Again, we're doing this review for our midterm. And that is the model of this adversary axis talking Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. And how each one of them, they employ proxies to do their

4:20dirty work to do their bidding to have some deniability. Maybe it's a lower cost. They don't have to extend their own military outside their borders if they use these proxies. The way that I ran has. And we've talked about that in depth. And we're going to do a little bit more in depth review in each of these subjects here. This is just the opening here. And then finally, last week that was the second time that we spoke about the high probability of having a joint service from the United States Navy and the United States Air Force and a combined American Israeli defense force strike on Iran. And I talked about there's likely three packages being considered and heavy medium and light and what each of those entailed. And the show went out on Thursday and 24 hours later, there's planes in there over Tehran and many parts of Iran.

5:21And it's a very serious matter that our men and women are facing right now. If you have loved one over there, salute you. And we're praying for our troops that they are able to get the job done. And that the Iranian people can stand up and have the freedom that President Kennedy used to talk about is having that liberty and that we would defend it no matter what the price. We'll get into that later. So now we're at the midterms. And not not for real. Not actually, we're not going to have a test here obviously. But we need to focus on the big final exam. And that big test, if we're looking, you know, we as leaders in national security experts, you always have to be looking as far forward as you possibly can so that you're not caught off guard with black swan or gray swan events. But if we're looking for what that big test will be for

6:22America, because you could see we've done two of these in short sequential order tests in our own hemisphere and then now in the in the Middle East. And it's showing our adversaries that we can have this massive capability to do it very precisely instead of doing this three stages stumble drill like we did in Kabul in August 2021. But that America is back. We can do things that are extraordinarily complex. We're launching planes with other side of the world. And they're striking targets. We have carriers, multiple carriers demonstrating this show of force and, you know, how how much power firepower the United States can bring to bear against our adversaries. So Russia and China are taking note of that. But we're just bringing some substantial risks. If

7:22one of those Kilo class are reading submarines or another adversary submarine, which got God forbid something like that happens. And there's ways to if if a ship if American ship was sunk, they could look at the post blast and determine it would take some time, but they could determine who sunk it. So hopefully that does not happen by one of our adversaries and get us focused for longer than necessary in the Middle East. But that's a critical vulnerability that United States has. So we do want to go in there, complete the mission, get it done, and return as safely as we can while still maintaining security in that theater. But now let's shift. And the real big final exam as I was talking about is the Chinese Communist Party. And that's what we're going to address today. So we've been talking

8:25about these patterns. And I do not have some type of crystal ball. Like I said, this is not some theater. This is just making calculated predictions on what is likely to happen knowing the personalities that we have as the Commander-in-Chief and the Secretary of War. And when diplomacy fails and we're making these comments that, you know, we we must have disarmed Iran with no nuclear capabilities. Those failed. And you see all the talking head saying that we didn't even get a chance. It's like it's just like when we used to have negotiations with North Korea. There's, if you're a professional in that space, you know that they're always going to make they're going to put some things on the table to just our unreasonable and they'll never reach an agreement too. And that's that's what we've seen happen here less

9:32than a week ago where these discussions that we've been having the United States and Iran that have been ongoing in Oman and in Switzerland. And we we tried and tried and tried. But Iran had no intentions. They were just buying themselves some time. So now it is very important that we focused on that biggest threat. So we have to pivot and look at this how this pattern will continue to develop as we continue to focus on the future potential threats. And and are the conditions right for the Chinese Communist Party to show some aggression in Northeast Asia or anywhere else in the world or with what's going on with this new order of, you know, off balance both in Venezuela and in Iran where China gets most of their crude oil.

10:32Is it possible for them to lodge successfully in Taiwan and to sustain that and other operations around the globe that they're doing? China is a massive country and as we're seeing right now with Iran, they have a massive military of just under one million active and reserve and to dismantle that's going to take some time. So China's army's substantially larger and much more high tech and outfitted with more modern equipment that has greater capability and and their readiness has not really been put to the test the way that Iran has been and doing offensive operations through proxy through using their goods force to train other militias in Iran or correction in Iraq to attack American forces. They've been actively

11:35engaged at fighting American forces both in Iraq and in Afghanistan for over 20 years, really over 47 years if you include how they've been providing funding and equipment and training to Hamas has law, the Houthis, all these militias. But let's get back on track for the next data point, the next objective and that's the biggest threat the Chinese Communist Party. So we're not just talking the massive amount of Chinese Communist Party ships and missiles. I want to talk about unrestricted warfare. In many of you have probably heard or possibly read the actual book that's published in paperback and in hardback in July of 2020, this book that was written in 1999 called unrestricted warfare

12:35written by two Chinese Communist Party members and members, there were kernels in the people's liberation army crawling in Wang Zhiju. They wrote in this book unrestricted warfare about that warfare is based on a lot of theories that go all the way back to Sun Su that you can strike your enemy without firing a shot that it can and needs to involve all aspects of your adversaries environment to include economic informational societal and that has been in progress against the United States by the Chinese Communist Party for many years when most Americans they simply are not aware sadly and they actually cannot see any evidence of this when that evidence is hidden right in front of our faces. So this is a serious matter that

13:36we are being engaged by our enemy and what they're doing to us is very successful and we're not even aware it's almost like the plunger on a needle filled with some deadly illicit drug is going into our veins and we're not aware and that is just getting directly into our bloodstream and it's going to kill us. So the purpose of this program tonight and hopefully when this comes out on Friday the 6th of March get the link go back on the American out loud get the link and forward that to your friends and family on your social media. I'm saying that because this is very important what we're going to put out in here. So we are going to go through a brief review of each of these segments that we've talked about so far this year and the reason why is because it matters. We need to talk about how this program has been making these predictions and you have to as

14:37they train us in the military know your enemy and if you know your enemy and you know yourself it's actually Sun Sioux said in the art of war you have no fear in 100 battles and when we do not know our enemy and we do not know ourselves you're we have assured defeat Sun Sioux also said paraphrasing that but he also talked about that and so we do have to know our enemy we have to know there that enemy's order of battle like how they are structured as far as the amount of personnel and the readiness and the type of equipment that they have is modern what what are they leveraged as far as like I ran with their drones and missiles and not so much investment in their fighter and attack aircraft and we have to know our enemy and that's something that I took great pride in the Marine Corps when I served in the Marine Corps is I would know I'd have a mastery of knowledge of those who we're going to go after and some people can say well you know you were

15:40you were this tactical guy on the battlefield that's right I went in with the Marines that we were trained and my hats off to those Marines that 20 years ago this past month had formed the actual inception of Marine Special Operations who my hat goes off to those Marine Special Operators who have served and continue to serve but it is very important in that line of work that you have mastery of knowledge of the enemy sometimes that's not available you can't wait to have like perfect information or intelligence but you must know your enemies as well as you possibly can and then apply it in a very precise and violent way so right after this break we're going to get it back into this midterm review and our discussion will focus on Venezuela and why it matters and how there are still so many people politically making comments

16:41in the media and social media that this was undeserved in talking about different violations of our constitution but that is all rhetoric and that's what we're going to talk about you know the so far there's nothing that's came up and that could change if there is a defeat by the Republicans or defeat of the Republicans in these midterm elections but we must and that's one of the things we're going to talk about the close here is we must make sure that is a win and that we take action to ensure that happens here later this year don't go away we'll be right back we'll get ready my fellow Americans July 2nd 3rd and 4th America out loud dot news in partnership with clear and the wellness company invites you to Nashville Tennessee for a red white and blue celebration you'll never forget we're

19:55Gowman we're about to discuss this midterm review of national security topics that we've been talking about since this beginning of this year and the very first one which we had a couple segments focusing on Venezuela and you know don't go with me to the craps table in Vegas I I'm not saying I have I'm that I'm some profit or suits there I just look at patterns and look at past actions and know yourself like know our commander in chief and know your enemy knowing Maduro and things were aligning which made it nearly inevitable and that's why Venezuela was one of these topics that we focused in on because we're talking about here's a country that was aligning that had sponsored several these multinational exercises since right after covid reopened you know you had Maduro hosting Russia China Iran North Korea all

21:02down in in Venezuela having these multinational exercises and some sniper competitions they weren't large scale but this is 1700 miles of her coast and thank god that we have now re-aligned our militaries national security strategy to focus on our homeland and to focus on the western hemisphere instead of constantly having our focus only on the other side of the globe those are things that we in the national security strategy as we've discussed that on this show as well we must look at and must keep in focus but it's not one of those three or five meter targets in our immediate direct front so but uh Venezuela became bad actor obviously due to illicit narco trafficking and they were sitting a lot of drugs here you know there's a lot of people that because Donald Trump is our commander in chief right now and he's taking

22:06of actions that protect the lives of Americans you know they're they're hating everything he's doing because he it's him that's doing it now he once was a Democrat and just like a lot of Democrats that uh once were Democrats and then they changed party they you know that's it's almost like leaving Islam uh you you have a target right on your forehead and and that's basically what's happened he was uh persona non grata once he said he was going to run and he's aligned more with the traditional American values than what the Democratic Party ran off with but uh these narco traffickers and having uh worked in that space with an interagency task force in uh in another part of the globe um narco traffickers don't always make the run straight from one country to the next sometimes they will they will go and they will drop these things off with uh GPS marked

23:07buoys and they're underwater um that is one of their tactics techniques and procedures that they use um but some of these know what all is it uh johnny come lately is that have no background whatsoever they have never worked for one minute let alone a day or a year in the counter narcotics trade uh they don't know this so they say well these boats weren't even coming to the American shores you know um oftentimes you know drugs here inside the United States you know they're they're doing a bust of drugs going from one person to somebody else that's taking it to sell it it doesn't always go straight from the the king pin to the the consumer and you're busting it at that point of friction with the big guy who's making all these sells to every little guide notes there are you know intermediaries and that's uh how that plays out but this was a massive uh scourge on American society that we had these narco traffickers killing over 100

24:16thousand Americans through drug overdose was it all coming from Venezuela no but the people that were taking on these boats trust me i've uh been in these rooms and when these is brief i mean we know what's on those boats and our personnel in that law enforcement space and then intelligence community have excellent information and when you're doing some kind of intercept uh especially if it's kinetic that is briefed at the highest level in the amount of information it's not uh unreliable so but uh obviously there's also other things that were going on with Venezuela and as I said they're colluding with uh russia russia was giving them a massive amounts of air defense capabilities uh china was also uh looking to sell them uh military equipment and not to the level that russia already had but

25:16uh building up an offensive capability and a massive harbor inside the western hemisphere right in our backyard uh making that a safe haven and harbor for russia and china is it's not something that i mean we should have taken action a long time ago but america even in trump's 45th administration was hyper focused on these wars in the middle east that type of distraction is no more now we are focused on the homeland the western hemisphere and we're not going to allow the seed to grow root and get planted and grown into something massive i mean that was equivalent of um the Cuban Missile Crisis and thank god we had a leader then with president Kennedy as well as now president trump who said stop and i didn't hear all these uh democrats criticizing Kennedy when he took a hard stand so but also one of the issues within his

26:21wala is they have a dramatic uh focus on hey who's gonna take over leadership and we're starting to see that form right now is uh having some interim leadership it's it's not like you schwack somebody and somebody else's stepping in there it's actually Venezuela is appears to be moving with some steady progress in time we'll tell on how that ends up um obviously that's not something that the mainstream media is hardly even reporting on and it's uh often a sign of you know something good is probably going on there if uh the mainstream media is in bashing trump that uh you know he just you know swept uh maduro out of there and just left alone uh but we uh the interim uh government appears to be taking place and we'll see how things go both in Venezuela and possibly here in Iran uh once further progress is made militarily but

27:27so the strategic issue in Venezuela is when the united states of america uh when we demonstrate that decisive action in one theater our adversaries they're they're closely watching what goes on whether we can sustain it especially across multiple theaters and what we're seeing right now is that our adversaries are watching what we're doing and that the united states can manage strategic strikes that are very precise in two separate theaters sequentially and we haven't done this simultaneously and that's a total separation from the past where what happened in Kabul was likely that uh failed circus rodeo stunt with the withdrawal from Kabul on August 2021 that is likely what led Hamas to do what they did to israel on the seventh of october 2021 right after

28:28that um event in afghanistan and shortly thereafter he had put in roll into ukraine because we were sadly our united states military was not taken seriously by our adversaries uh if they threatened they felt a threat they would not do that so but let's continue on and connect a few more of these dots on this uh global battlefield and that is transition to this topic that we have also discussed and that's drones and missiles which uh you see right now uh we we talked about that this past month and drones and missiles are constantly in the headline this this past week since friday because uh that is the investment that that iatola in his regime has uh IRGC heavily invested in that type of technology of drones and ballistic and cruise missiles just mass producing cheap and you know very sophisticated systems that uh that can range across

29:35the middle east and we knew that that's their goal was to continue with that technology and innovation and advanced towards getting their hands there's all kinds of reports it's hard to tell right now what's um authentic and what's fake as far as uh how much nuclear material they they could have had and uh obviously the democrats were ridiculing president trump and june saying that uh this DIA analyst said we didn't get it all so uh having an iatola and his henchman those clerics that are radical believers and shrewial law that go around and have their people chanting debt to american death to israel i mean having them create a nuclear weapon and advancing on longer-range missiles um and that can have a nuclear payload and then having

30:36potential um people infiltrate across our borders and these threats which we have to take seriously that uh iran has made as far as a potential assassination attempts on uh president trump i mean they they have conducted assassinations abroad they've captured american citizens in their own country they've threw a mass their proxy they've held american citizens hostage abroad uh these these are people that if anyone has any kind of confusion uh give me a call sometime and we can go over since i was a young boy in 1979 last 47 years where they have just captured held hostage uh done some horrible uh atrocities directly and indirectly through their proxies or themselves all around the world so rhan isn't the the person wearing the white hat on the lone ranger they're not the good guys um so hakeem jeffries hate to burst your bubble

31:38but uh diatola he was a bad guy and uh again just like these illegals and that's a whole another topic coming into our country if you feel so strongly and that they are just such great people bring them in your house long term and uh same thing these these terrorists you know have them um drive your daughter to school and uh put some skin in the game okay but this is how our adversaries they're looking to continue to invest in these types of drones and missiles so they can saturate swarm confuse exhaust and you know exploit these gaps that will have when we hesitate so what we have seen our american forces do here this last week in the middle east is use this massive technology and i was listening to uh one of the founders of palantir um is like competitions for for losers and uh it was a great conversation

32:42was having but my point is is we in america have some of the most incredible technology in the minds that are making that technology and artificial intelligence and everything that's going into having that predictive analysis and it's it's very difficult to compete and successfully um defeat the united states even in a short term and that's what we've seen here is yeah we we actually had some uh friendly fire incense over quate where some uh us air force aircraft were shot down by the quates by accidents thank god those pilots survived but um but those are things that happen when you have so many planes flying in the sky and some of the communication or language barriers they have a different sensors that uh squawk and you know they call the identification of friendly forces and sometimes that unfortunately happens and that's happened for years but i do need to go through it we said i want to cover everything that we have and then get on the subject

33:44of china but you can tell i'd love this what we've been talking about this year but to tie it in currently i ran their uh escalation of all these programs they had intentions on using this and obviously you know saudi arabia did not originally allow us to fly through their space and without any reason you know obviously we have forces in saudi arabia but i ran with firing missiles and drones into saudi arabia and other Gulf states which led uh those Gulf states now to align it's it's incredible to see who's align who's declaring their alliance with uh aran like china and russia and the u.s democratic party saying you know this is a illegal war you know they're where those areanian diaspora around the world as well as um all these Gulf states you know they're in

34:46many european countries now are aligning that uh this was needed and uh they're getting on board but that's what is called leadership and some people say all the america is going alone or america and uh israel and you know it's we have to collaborate with countries and people are going to criticize you one way or the other whatever decision you make that we're going alone or we're just doing things with israel or we're giving all israel this money but you can see when we collaborate with our intelligence community and the israel intelligence community and we had two thousand strikes in the first 24 hours delivering two thousand munitions that is incredible and it's unheard of and these are precision guided munitions that are going right where they're supposed to and having massive effects on strategic leadership on the aranian navy and i mean it's it's incredible but we do need to continue to dismantle the aranian military and their uh government and their

35:50leadership uh just like we had uh talked about on these previous and so when we use our technology like i talked about our cyber warfare and our strategic assets that we have in space and all that to give our intelligence community uh the ability to mincerate these targets and immediately plan and execute strikes and outpace our enemy's ability to make decisions you know and like i said by amount of active troops active in reserve you know a million man force that they're the 16th largest military power in the world and 8th as far as uh you know boots on the ground and active military forces so that will take a long time to a trip and to get them to capitulate but that's something that we have to be prepared to do and um so yeah it's amazing so now let's also transition into we talked about the adversaries playbook was one of the topics

36:54that we discussed and how these adversaries they have their access partners and then they have their proxies that can do things uh just like china has north korea doing its dirty work and during last administration sleepy joe would uh you know just let these missiles be fired over japan by north korea taking no action where in the past trump administration the current one that is immediately been now put to put the bed very quickly and kim jong-un is not uh playing around anymore uh he's taken trump very seriously we're going to go to break right after this have some good messages but we have some better content so don't go away we'll be right back after this message struggling with your health energy and constantly feeling hungry want to save money on the rising cost of groceries and dramatically improve your health go to chemicalfreebody.com forward slash out loud today get nature's super multivitamin doctor formulated green 85 juice formula empower your immune system cut your grocery bill and save 20

38:59but we have these alliances we've talked about how these people have been working together whether it's venezuela working with china and russia and in venezuela and i ran they're providing a significant amount of will to china and china is now having to evaluate you know could they project power and sustain that power if they were to try to do offensive operations in tywan or anywhere else but that could drive them further into the direction of russia for their well that's something that we don't exactly want but we talked about those alliances and the proxies and just like a ranz proxies hamas has blah the houthis various malicious that they've had operating and doing offensive operations in a rack afghanistan and syria and other parts of the globe but that they use those because it gives them deniability they can conduct these strikes and they can coerce a lot of people but uh it's it's it's obviously strange how

40:02just like when these illegals are coming over here especially violent uh criminal illegal aliens and we have the democratic party standing up for them we also have democratic party trying to throw a flag on the play and saying hey uh you know why are we doing this in venezuela this is wrong it's about you know my goodness uh i mean do you see what the venezuela and people you know how it's same thing with the aranian people it's uh to to defend the ayatola who because information was very limited and we can't corroborate everything to the but there's reports from 7,000 to 40,000 who knows how many aranian people were murdered just since december 2025 because they're trying to protest so when kennedy the one of the you know beloved uh presidents we've had you know states that you know he will stand and defend um freedom wherever costs it takes that's fine but when

41:04it comes from somebody that switched the parties they they will not tolerate that and it's it's weird how the democrats say oh you know there's this change in the parties the republicans became democrats and democrats became republicans the republicans were actually the ones that wanted slavery and Jim crow and um that's such a ridiculous uh lie because here with donald trump if just one person changes parties they they go after him and they never let him let him any kind of pressure off so but uh just a quick review on our ran we talked about that last week and now we're seeing this major shelling of targets all across our ran by us and israeli air and naval campaigns these strategic weapons cyber attacks it's it is very impressive to see this heavy packages that we talked about and that logic is being clearly articulated from

42:06the secretary of defense uh secretary of state that we're trying to degrade their air defense and the command and control nodes and reduce their military infrastructure in their uh leadership so we're seeing that literally uh in progress 24-7 and uh god bless our forces especially those on the uss forward who were already in the southern command at sea for over 231 days until they got pulled and retashed and go into uh the central commands middle east area and continue operation so those guys i'm sure and gals are charged up and uh doing amazing things very dangerous things and um you guys and gals are in her prayers uh those attacks are are very important and it's an credible demonstration to our other what they call it the pure adversaries of our precision error campaign what we can destroy um so now let's pivot to the main subject and that is the

43:11Chinese Communist Party's unrestricted warfare like i spoke in the being segment is this who's actually book written by these two uh people's liberation army kernels called unrestricted warfare and i suggest if you have the time and opportunity you can get it on amazon 1275 and paper back and it's on uh multimedia modes but uh it just lays out their argument that strategic composition competition sorry that it extends beyond the kinetic wars like we're seeing right now with us versus our ran and they propose it goes into all these areas of an adversaries environment the financial the legal and we're seeing the legal where for decades we've been forced to offshore everything because legally they're trying to say well we have these laws and we're creating these laws and they're influencing people through lobbyists and it forced our manufacturing offshore uh most of it the majority of it and that hamstrung our military production and critical components for military and medical uh now that's in western china um and thank god that

44:18president trump is focusing on having incentives to bring companies to reproduce and manufacture back here in the united states and that's going to uh be a great revitalization for our economy and our uh bros domestic product but anyway there's also environments that are adversaries currently engaging our population very successfully i'm sorry to say on the information in societal domains and this is a strategy that china is actively doing right now it's not some slogan but they are they're having incredible effects while most americans like i said in the beginning segment they're not even aware that this is going on why we've heard all this stuff with opioids and fentanyl well yeah you did because china is bringing that in they're the primary source for production of these precursor chemicals and this illicit fentanyl uh development that goes straight from china through oftentimes um northeastern state of berman to big kingpin ships it's legal when

45:24it's transferred into north west mexico and then they put it into illegal forms they encapsulate it there and bring it across our border and we're seeing what that does i mean some of this precursor chemicals obviously made by india and other countries but it mainly is china but the DEA their assessment is you know most of it is being produced there in mexico uh we have other countries uh like colombia and minnis whale that bring a cocaine and and other drugs into the united states but a lot of this drugs is being laced with fentanyl whether it's cocaine whether it's marijuana and uh that is a plan that is developed by the chinese communist party to murder mass murder americans so last in 2023 i don't have uh the current information right now the cdc their uh statistic was a hundred and five thousand drug overdose deaths in 2023 and that is

46:28that is horrible scourge on our society and those are just the deaths now they have many you know um pharmaceutical called norcan that uh you put in your buddy's mouth to try to jump start their heart if they're they're dying but this doesn't include near deaths or people who've had their lives ruined but basing clearly knows what they're doing they had a history of this narcotics devastation during their two opium wars with britain um in the 1830s and 1850s i mean they know what this did and it's in their national memory and uh the u.s intelligence committee is is very well aware that china's the primary source for these illicit precursor inputs so but we don't even china's not focused on trying to defeat our navy if you can hollow out our nation which they're doing right now a lot of these kids they're on one ADHD medication to some other drug

47:34which makes them not eligible to serve and we're we're going to have problems that other countries face where we just don't have enough able-bodied men and women uh let alone those that want to and then we're going to have to invoke some type of a draft if we don't have a volunteer force but then let's talk about this information warfare and the chinese are investing heavily into this uh information warfare in their social division and the u.s intelligence assessments warn of uh chinese communist party influence operation designed it's shaping narratives it's exploiting uh across social media and in our media and hollywood um and it's having a really massive effect that when they did their analysis on the united states and they found that our center of gravity is that we are united their goal is to divide our populace and they know that will destabilize our governments if you have children against their parents and i'm not just saying

48:36so you know these kids are bad these days but that is a goal so they develop psychological operations and themes and narratives and they produce messaging that goes out very effectively you see uh through tiktok i mean it's uh it's really influencing these kids to change the way that they think and that's exactly what son su had said is winning comes through undermining the cohesion and confidence rather than direct battle so while the next thing that chinese communist party was doing since we were hyper focused on this counter insurgency strategy for over 20 years in these middle east the chinese communist party had another plan and not only did they go into afghanistan for the rare earth minerals but they went all across the globe and they had a strategy they called the one belt one road initiative and they went all across the globe

49:40for this economic plan to go and get as much of the logistics and the resources that they would require uh for the next hundred years and have these strategic uh overland and maritime routes that they can move all those logistics while we were forcing around with our military in our rack and afghanistan and he saw all the results of this failed counter insurgency campaign of trying to win the hearts and minds uh that that was a failure and there was no accountability but unfortunately as we've seen in some places like with the sovereignty of Sri Lanka you know what happens when countries sign up on this one belt one road initiative and get into this debt status with China China has made some deals that Al Capone could even broker such good deals but it's a serious business so now we're trying to revitalize our allies and partners and strengthen

50:43them because so many to include the Philippines and many others were on the fence and taken money my Thailand was with from both the west and with china wherever they could get it and they're looking for this infrastructure and they saw that it was good um not turn turn this into a Sunday sermon but yeah they they were playing both sides and um but now we we have these members of congress they're saying that uh they're there this also a demonstration of how they're dividing our population they're all the war powers authorization or this is a criminal war so everything that our our nation is doing is divided by certain members of their congresses loud voices in the media are are working lockstep with congress to tear down our commander in chief or head of state you have people going over to Munich security conference and whether it's AOC or Hillary Clinton

51:45you've got um new some going to Davos and you know just these people are making fools of themselves but they're trying to exert their own status and you know whether it's for a future bid in some campaign but it's it's not helping the united states be united and that's what we need and but that plays into what the strategy is for this unrestricted warfare and our adversaries again they don't have to create division when our congress and our media are doing it themselves all the the Chinese Communist Party need to do is to amplify that need to put that out in their own social media which they have this platform right here but uh you know what we've got going on in progress right now with this large-scale offensive operation in our ran we do not need members of congress and all these platforms dividing our country you know

52:46I just asked those members of congress think back to what president Kennedy said will pay any price bear any burden meet any hardship support any friend or pose any foe to assure that survival and the success of liberty that that uh everybody was good with that on both sides they are when Kennedy said it but now we have a president that's basically doing that and making sure that that there is the success of liberty in our ran they didn't have liberty there at all um but now we have our own members of congress uh trying to destroy the american leadership and what we're doing and we have american lives at risk overseas and we do not need another senator kelly we do not need uh he came Jeffries out there death by a thousand cuts putting seeds planning seeds and doubts and questions and sending mixed signals to our troops that are

53:47they're fighting this uh on the ground as we've seen we had several pilots and playing shot out of the sky by the Kuwaitis and luckily they those pilots survived but they're doing a job that's hard enough as it is they don't need our leaders our elected leaders back here in the states um trying to dismantle the the very difficult and uh very high amount of focus that they have to apply to their jobs so but i have a call to action to everybody here in the last few minutes and show that our nation's security it's not just about those men and women in uniform that are firing those missiles or flying off the carriers and providing all that intelligence and sensing it's about citizenry and that requires us to actively participate in our government we have to do that through voting we have to do that through encouraging all other legal citizens to vote in every election and for

54:48illegal citizens not to vote and to expose that and i admit that i myself didn't always vote but that was when i was in uniform and i was deployed it was extremely difficult to do that when you're focused on the enemy and um now it's different and i myself it's critical that we all to include myself and everybody we go out and vote we encourage others to to register to verify that you're registered and to go ahead and vote in these primaries like we just had and and to make sure just like uh Benjamin Franklin whenever founders said about our style of government that America shall be a republic if we can keep it it's not a democracy it's republic but that entails that we are active in our government in a republic the people are have the power and that's if we can keep it and there's a lot of people as we've seen in New York City that you know they get distracted with these little beautiful sounding sirens whispering in their ear that you know free bus rides

55:52and subs and all everything's gonna be great and we're gonna cap and spending at the grocery stores and rent and all the stuff but you know that that's a double edged sword so but we not need to make sure that we protect America at home against these things and we elect people that are strong on American defense that do not allow drugs do not allow illegal immigrants and criminals to you know rob us of the freedom and the safety that we had is you know when I was a young man we cannot allow leaders to continue to drift us into these forever wars and we're seeing President Trump deliver on those campaign promise that he that he had so we cannot afford any more of what has been going on uh specifically mean what was happening in Venezuela with these drugs uh the threats from Iran those stop but the most important most dangerous as we can say in the military the most dangerous course of action is the Chinese Communist

56:58Party's ability to continue to wage this war that we don't even know and the that is the most dangerous attacks it doesn't always come with some big siren but it can take the form of drugs supply chain how they're locking it up for themselves and trying to control you know the the global resources so that's it for this week America please as I asked send this once it comes out on Friday the 6th of March please send this link out to your friends your family put it on your social media and so others can listen to it wherever they listen to their podcast but thank you very much again God bless you God bless our troops God bless America
