With Grant Newsham, Elliot Chodff & Trevor Loudon

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies

• I discussed the Chinese aggression against the Philippines and the lack of American support to our treaty ally in a moment of need and whether that is contributing to further efforts by the Chinese to assert their dominion over the Filipinos and their territory and possibly to prompt the people of the Philippines to pursue a separate peace with their mortal enemies and ours in the CCP.
• We also discussed what's happening in Thailand and Japan, and with respect to the United Front Work Department, all topics of great concern as they involve the possibly lethal emboldening of China Chinese, the CCP, and the Chinese Communist Party.

Elliot Chodff, Political and Military Analyst, Hamartzim Educational Services

• Major Elliot Chodff of the Israel Defense Forces spoke with me in his personal capacity as a podcaster and duty expert on developments on the ground in Israel's wars for its very survival, specifically about pressures the United States has been bringing to bear on Israel to agree to a ceasefire that is not in Israel's interest under present circumstances and certainly not under the terms being offered, well demanded really, by the United States government. 
• We also spoke about the reasons why Hamas, interestingly enough, is not participating in the ceasefire negotiations and is quite happy to have America compel Israel to surrender effectively to that terrorist organization.

Trevor Loudon, Creator of The Documentary The Enemies Within

• Trevor Loudon gave us a short course on the phenomenon of the Chinese Communist Party United Front Work Department's influence operations in America. The extent to which they have been operating for many decades, but in particular, disclosures from 2016 about the Well, not only the extent of what's afoot but its explicitly partisan purposes. 
• We also discussed the implications of these various Chinese efforts to subvert our elections in the upcoming fall contests.
