Kyle Shideler, Bill Walton & Kyle Shideler

Gordon Chang, Contributor, Gatestone Institute & Newsweek

• I spoke with Gordon Chang about political and strategic developments in China and the United States.
• We also explored the prospects that internal pressures are creating a very high probability that Xi Jinping will go into active kinetic warfare, not just the unrestricted and people's war kind we've experienced. 
• We also discussed the importance of understanding the Chinese threat and contending with it, including in Ukraine.

Bill Walton, Host of The Bill Walton Show

• We discussed domestic politics with Bill Walton, starting, of course, with President Donald Trump's assassination attempt and JD Vance's nomination. 
• We also explored various policy issues, notably how the Republican team views China and what it intends to do about it. One option, we're very hopeful, is to cut off its cash flow by ending the practice of allowing Americans to invest in our mortal enemy.

Kyle Shideler, Director and Senior Analyst for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism

• I spoke with Kyle Shideler about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life and what it tells us about the state of the Secret Service, which he says has been hollowed out deliberately by the Biden administration and its predecessors. 
• We also discussed his warnings that the threats we've been seeing will likely continue to intensify and that more needs to be done to understand them and counteract them effectively.
