The Chinese Communist Party is waging a multi-pronged war on America, at least in terms of winning our hearts and minds. The CCP is influencing the curriculum from elementary schools through graduate programs. The CCP is supportive of radical groups such as Black Lives Matter and Antifa. CCP operatives have gained extremely close access to Democrat office holders such as Congressman Eric Swalwell and Senator Diane Feinstein. 

The following are among the issues discussed:  

• What is the extent of Chinese military age men crossing our southern border? What might be their intentions? 
• What role is the Chinese government playing in terms of fentanyl pouring into the United States?
• Why does China ban the harmful content spewed on TikTok? What could be the ramifications of Grindr falling into Chinese hands?
• How does the Chinese government seek to influence U.S. policy through elite capture?
• What is the purpose of China establishing police stations in the United States and throughout the world?
• What are some examples of China retaliating against those who point out examples of CCP propaganda?
• How has China tried to influence U.S. policy by gaining control of supra-governmental organizations such as the World Health Organization?
• What is particularly troubling about Chinese companies becoming so dominant in producing, installing and managing surveillance cameras?
