With Sam Faddis, Dede Laugesen, Nina Shea & Robert Charles

Sam Faddis, Former CIA Ops Officer

• I discussed with Sam Faddis what has gone on in Korea and what it suggests about the larger enterprises of the Chinese Communist Party as it seeks through strategic arson in places like Ukraine and the Middle East and perhaps now Korea to distract and otherwise dissipate our ability to resist.
• Xi Jinping's ambitions to become the world hegemon require, as it would, the elimination of the United States as an impediment to that objective. We also discussed the pardon that Joe Biden gave his son and what it suggests about what may be coming next, including perhaps a pardon for himself.

Dede Laugesen, Executive Director at Save The Persecuted Christians
& Nina Shea, Senior Fellow and Director, Center for Religious Freedom

• Dede Laugesen and I spoke with Nina Shea about the persecution of Christians in communist China and, incredibly, what the Roman Catholic Pope Francis is doing to help that persecution at the profound expense of his own bishops and co-religionists.
• He has betrayed them repeatedly and is now actively aiding and abetting what can only be described as an effort to not only diminish the Roman Catholic Church but weaponize it for the purposes and benefit of the Chinese Communist Party.

Robert Charles, Author of "Eagles and Evergreens"

• Robert Charles gave a personal insight into what is happening in his native state of Maine in the way of rampant criminality and increasing violence against, among others, the people of Maine at the hands of cartels, drug traffickers, and Chinese nationals. Whether this is what they have in mind for all of us, wherever we may live.
• We also talked about his efforts to resume public service as the attorney general of Maine and his hope to bring to that job the kind of corrective action associated with his distinguished service to our country in previous roles.
