Well media reports and polls are predicting a blue wave in the midterm. But are they looking at the big picture? Inflation and gas prices are driving the headlines, how can Republicans and President Trump get on point to drive enthusiasm for November? And the United States, Denmark and Greenland have reached a historic security agreement. Xi Jinping arrives for a historic summit with President Trump this week, and how can the U.S. counter China's cognitive war against America? It's all next on Viewpoint this Sunday. It is time to put away the bias, the lives and deceit and bring forth real talk from real people about real news, providing the out loud truth and capturing the essence of a new

generation all in a fast-paced hour. This is Viewpoint this Sunday. Welcome to the weekend news magazine. Viewpoint this Sunday. It is Malcolm out loud here and welcome to the broadcast, my fellow Americans and boy, I'll tell you what, it's a news cycle. It is a definite news cycle. Hot, hot, hot midterms are pretty well here. They always tend to feel like they're creeping up on you and then bang and then you're right in the midst of it. And I'll tell you, we're right in the midst of it. You can feel the stress and the pressure from both parties and what's happening from the left on the right, but these are unusual circumstances, probably more so because of the communist in the house. And so it makes it a little different, I think, potentially for folks. And so anyway, we're going to get started here with a fantastic panel of experts here and Edward Hugglin is here. He's a retired federal senior executive and USCFORs veteran.

Ed has worked in the intelligence community, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Energy, Department of State. And I think even the Department of Mosquitos, Ed, am I right? Yes, Malcolm, yes. I've been swarming at the bureaucracy ever since I joined. That's exactly it. That's exactly it. They bite you bite the Mac, right? All right, so Ed has got a terrific piece up in Op-Ed on the network today on Sunday. So I'll tell you about that a little bit here. Excited to have here, Kristen Briggs is here, his economic strategist, the founder and CEO of Hardass at Management at BMC Capital. He's a terrific voice and he hosts Wednesdays at 1 p.m. Eastern time on the network, on the record with Kristen Briggs. He's doing some great stuff. And Kristen is here, great economic voice for sure. And she's political as well. And a gentleman that we've gotten to know and just admire a great deal here is a 27-year veteran of the Marine Corps, Major Fred Galvin is here.

And Major Galvin made history as the Marine Corps first special operations task force commander, Lietwari is into combat in Afghanistan. He has just been a remarkable force. I guess best way I'd say he defines the word Patriot, that's the best way I'd say it here. And he does a program on the National Security Hour every Thursday at 8 p.m. You'll hear Galvin on there and does an incredible job here. So let's get started, gentlemen. The midterms, 2026. So the Washington Post says why Democrats are starting to feel bullish about a midterm wave. Ed Huggler, let me get to you first on this year. Let's say the Iran war, high prices and President Donald Trump's sinking popularity, give them a real chance of congressional majorities. And they have their eyes on both houses. What's your sense right now at looking at this from that statement in the post? Well, the compost always does blow the aid a bit more on the liberal side.

I think that the Republicans have a good chance to keep both houses, but it's going to be thinner in the house side because people have short memories. So you think there is a possibility they can still maintain the house? Well, I think so because the problems you just mentioned, the post laid out, okay, the inflation, that was all caused by the Democrats. The Iran thing, Trump stopped them from getting the nuclear weapon. So people think a little bit more, not just meopically for the hair next two weeks, but think long-term and think that do they really want to go back to $10, a gallon gas under Democrats? Then I think Republicans have a chance. Well, as you just said a moment ago, Americans have short memories, is the problem. And they don't remember really the pain with Biden, the nine to 25% interest and what was happening right then. They tend to forget that stuff. And I don't know why that is, but it's something we report on frequently. People seem to, you only as good as your last horror, I guess, more or less, what I'm

seeing here. Kristen Briggs, this piece here, the post, it's interesting because a lot of the media, of course, are all lining up as typically going this way. They say the party has been strong post-labor day polls and key battlegrounds are watching all the polls, but we know the polls aren't really, really ever accurate. But the midterm elections are typically accurate and the historically they tend to go a specific way. There's a lot of misinformation out there as well, Kristen. Do you think Americans will remember back in the Biden years any part of that, or do you see Trump being held accountable for some of these moves right now? Wow, first of all, thanks for having me on the show and two good questions. Wow. Let's talk about Biden for a bit because it's a good portion of why we're where we are today is because when COVID hit and those inflationary policies, I call them inflationary policies,

really way overspent, they literally just, I don't even want to say it, but they had a blank check. Congress was giving them once Biden got an administration, he had a blank check and he was like, okay, let's just rock it because there were two things that I learned from some sources in DC was Biden was crash this. Let's just say people within his administration were saying, look, if we don't win the next term, we're going to, we're going to leave the next president, which obviously they were looking at Trump with an inflationary deboggle and two, if we do win, well, it's okay because we'll have the resources we need because all that money was being filled with through USAID. So at the end of the day, you've got two parts. What will happen in the House and in the Senate because of what Trump did inherit? Let's just say it. You could go back to the last six administrations, all the way even to Carter and Nixon and you move forward. Do you know that Trump has the lowest inflation rates right now currently during an administration, at least a one term, just a four year snapshot. So I don't know if people appreciate what Trump inherited and you're, as you're, as you're

guess, we had to take it wrong out. You can't have a review. Do you think that as Ed was just saying, do you think there's a chance they could maintain the House and the Senate both? No, I don't think it's going to be the sweep. They say I think we're going to, we're going to lose seats in the House and remember, it only takes one, one more than the other guy to win the voting power. So I think the House will change. I don't think it's going to be this, this unbelievable, oh, 40 seats in the House, I think that's ridiculous. By 10 to 12, probably, and I think in the Senate, it's too close to call, but I will say this, out of the eight seats that they talked to about being in jeopardy, there is no question three to four. And remember, it takes four, it takes takes four to flip that. And so my thoughts are, we're probably going to get down to the wire on the Senate, but we'll probably lose the House. I think that's a, that's a foregone conclusion, at least at this point. Okay. All right. Major Galvin, now this is a perfect segue to ask you about the impact of the Iran war.

You know, you listen to what Chris is saying there, and balancing it all out. If people can remember back to any part of the Biden years, but right now, they have the high energy prices. And like you said, the inflation is not bad at all under Trump, specifically, he's suggesting. So if you remove the Iran war, and you get those energy prices back down economically, rates, interest rates probably would have been more maintained. And that probably would have made the difference at this point in time. What kind of an impact do you think there's thing is having on people, the war itself in the, in the economy? It's definitely having an impact. And the one area I believe that the president, as well as those who are running for office need to really emphasize is a strategic communication that, as Christian just had mentioned, that inflation, it's not just inflation, it's the rate of inflation. The rate of inflation is coming down, but it is still, as I mentioned on the previous

shows, it is cumulative. So people are still paying a very high price that is hurting them. That's what they're talking about. And if this administration doesn't get out there and constantly pound the table, just like I had mentioned in the show, this just came out this past day, the what ifs? If you have, if you go back to what happened right after COVID with this massive quantitative easing, these were, we're just printing money and, in buying everything from free homes to free healthcare to bringing anybody into the country, that is going to absolutely devastate. Not just our economy, not just national security, but the American way of life is we know it. That is truly ingenuity and I hate sounding like what Joe Biden campaigned on is, you know, democracy is on the ballot, that freedom is on the ballot. Freedom that we enjoy right now is Americans are safety.

The Iran War, as Ed had mentioned, that is an investment. We had to do that. That is, that is quintessential. If we don't do that, it's kind of like today's day and age, if you do not allow your children to have a trade or go to college, they're just, they're, they're dead in the water. You know, that's an interesting way to put it. I've never heard it put that way, Matrix Alvin. That is a fantastic way to put an investment. They should use that talking point out there in the field as their, uh, uh, politic and but, uh, right? That's, that's a, absolutely, absolutely. You know, Fred hit the nail and had strategic coms and you hit just said it there and Malcolm. They need to communicate. Uh, what Democrats are riding right now is on raw emotion. They got to go back to the points Christian made, Fred made. What I'm about here is what's the logical and what's the policy? Democrats have no policies. You're going to go back to the same policies, which they got blasted for in 2024 and 2020

in the fraudulent election in 2016. Okay. All three elections they lost, but we have to tell the story. It has to be out there and Republicans suck at communicating anything that deals with actually acknowledging Trump's victories. Right. Right. No, I think you have a valid point there. And in fact, the reason the lack of policies that you mentioned in Ed, that's why they usually go on to the attack Trump mode because that is tried and true for them to attack the person rather than because they don't have the policies to be able to back up. And so that makes sense, right? But hopefully Americans can understand that point and read between the, the, the tea leaves more or less. And now the, um, and let me ask you, Christian, real fast, quick, quick point I want to get on this. This is another piece out there. Gas prices are about to take a big jump analyst, say, with the worst still to come. The effects of the US lead war on around about to intensify in the form of huge jumps in the price of gasoline and diesel even more than what they are now.

They're suggesting and they're saying the damage inflicted on Saudi Arabia's east-west pipeline along with continued strikes on oil infrastructure and contested control over the other key waterways, threatening to elevate what has been a, a shipping crisis into a broader disruption of oil. Of course, those will impact groceries as well, diesel and all of that. Everything travels diesel. Uh, so are you seeing any reports where you see that is possibly escalating further up or do you, can they get a handle on this in time, Christian? It's a good question. Let me give you, let me kind of prep this a little bit. When you see some of the largest banks, the largest financial institutions trading, trading houses in the world start to buy leaps. They're buying long-term calls, not short-term. They're buying both futures. They're buying the equities of the companies and they're buying directly into the call, all options on oil and gas, especially diesel. Goldman Sachs just went long, literally billions of dollars worth of gas and diesel and

other disillords. So they're looking at this as a long-term problem. So that scares you because these guys make bets that are usually on the right side of the trade more than not. And just as, just like six weeks ago, they sort of buying aggressively and they kept adding to their positions. We see Bitcoin and Ethereum not just moving up because of the potential clarity act being reintroduced and finally voted through on the Senate for regulatory guidelines. The gold market, same thing. It's going up because there's a lot of fear in the markets and the fear is based on two things. One, that the Iran War, like I said this before to somebody recently about the administration, I said, these guys, if you destroy them over 20 years, they won't care. They'll stick to this war with you for 20 years and continue the support by China and Russia. So if you think this is going to be one of those in and out kind of deals like Venezuela, you're mistaken. I've said it a dozen times to them. And so they're starting to realize that these people there are more dug into the first thought. Let me ask you this.

Beyond what you're speaking about and the energy and all of that. The other point that we should bring into this and you even covered this this past week is the just going over that marker, that big marker, the 43 and a reckoning. And you had a peace on it. Why the feds rate, hike, changes, everything, but they're 43 and that is now really getting on the nerves of a lot of people, the government debt. And that's a problem left and right. That is Republicans and Democrats. I mean Biden and nobody wants to hear this, but Biden and Trump together doubled the debt from 20 to 43. And is that a correct statement, Christian? Unfortunately, it is correct. Yeah, that's that's right on the money. Welcome to no question about it. When do people really wake up to what's happened? In other words, there's going to be a price to pay for that. Well, it's mathematically impossible in a conventional way to pay it back. And I say conventional, the way that every person in this country or pretty much on the world is you have income, versed liabilities and beliabilities are far outstripping.

Because what people don't realize, you mentioned $40 trillion. We're going to be at $41 trillion here within a matter of months, but that's not the liability. When you look at the total liabilities that are already on the books that you are responsible for paying. See, people look at the monthly income against the monthly burn. That's what the debt represents. But if you look at mortgages or car loans and all those of an individual, there's your longer term liability. You're still on the hook for that debt, even though it's spread out over long term. And in some cases, long term is good because the buying power of the dollar continues to go down. But in this case, we're actually adding over what, 11 to 12,000 people per day to social security. So when you look at the long term, we have a $5.6 trillion federal level income against a $40 trillion plus national debt. That's like your credit card debt, let's say and all those things. But your long term liabilities on social security, Medicare, Medicaid, as well as federal pensions and all the things that would go into long term liabilities is $117 trillion. Now, take this for just one.

I make one image, I'll leave it at this, $117 trillion of liabilities against a $5.6 trillion of income. Conventionally, that's impossible to pay back. You cannot, unless you redo the dollar's buying power. And as Steve Forbes said, we convert from paper to digital and then we devalue the debt. And I think that's the sense people are getting now that it's a viable point. And I've heard it now for multiple areas that this is never going to be paid back in the traditional way that we think about paying back. Government doesn't work the same way with assets and liabilities. And as you say, a free credit card, but probably that changed to digital or something else is probably where they're going to have to go. In the meantime, something is scurrying about the whole market with this debt and everything that it represents here. It's hard to say how this thing reckons here, how it actually is. Let me turn the page from this here, from the economy itself.

And because there's no quick answer for that economy, I have to tell you. And do you, before I leave that, do you see, in your experience, and then coming into a midterm like this of this magnitude, do you see the economy itself and the energy? I mean, you're very optimistic about Congress, about the House and the Senate. But yet people do vote with their wallet. Are you suggesting that they're seeing something this time different, or maybe what Galvin was talking about that maybe they see Iran as an investment because I'm not sensing that they're surely not getting that news from the media. So I don't know people feel that way, Ed. So I think if you trust in the commonsense of the American people, they voted for Trump three times. They look at this again since he's been out there pushing this. I think that's a real potential. I said, I'm not overly optimistic, but I'm optimistic in that regard. On the overall dead aspect, this is what I've been warning about as well here in a

cognitive war type of scenario. Russia, Iran and China have done to us what we did to Russian, the Cold War. They've driven us to spend, spend, spend an economy with the Biden's and the corruption, the stuff that also in the spending. They've driven us to also deplete our stockpiles weapon significantly. So now we're in a position where with this oil aspect and with I think I read something this morning about an oil refinery in Texas being taken offline and they're not quite sure what's going on with that for over a week. We put ourselves in a precarious position. I think Americans are going to realize that there's a bigger threat out there and put the Democrats in charge just to go harp and go after Trump is not going to do it. At least that's my hope. Yeah, no, you'll have a strong point. And some of this is addressed in Ed's article, Ed Hugglin's article on Sunday afternoon.

You'll want to go read this and we'll touch on this in a little bit here on the second part of the program here. But it's entitled The Four Armies, a warning about China's war inside America. That's fascinating, very, very fascinating. And by the way, we also have the Xi Jinping and Trump summit coming up on the 24th of September. That is going to be quite something to see that. We'll talk about that in moment too. I'm going to take on Greenland right now before we do get to these other big stories here. Everybody was wondering how this was going to work out with Greenland. I mean everyone. You know, Trump was just thrown it out there. And really heads were spinning on this thing. And of course he was irritating Europe, the European Union, Denmark of course was fed to be tied. And major Fred Galvan, many people realized it was a strategic part of this, just like when Trump talked about the Panama Canal and he talked about Venezuela. He looked at things that other presidents have never considered in our own hemisphere,

not alone around the world. And Greenland was one of those buttons that he just, you know, it's really remarkable Fred, where the way he stepped back and looked at the world for a guy that is not really a political guy specifically, but a businessman of the way he was. He really did look at things differently than anybody we've seen in the political circles. It's amazing. It's remarkable. And so this last deal, the United States Denmark and Greenland have indeed reached this historic, it's a security agreement, but it's a pretty big one and expands the American military footprint on the island big time and preserves the sovereignty of the country there, but prohibits any adversaries or others for being on it. How significant is this major Galvan and how was you surprised to see this happen in the way that it, because it was pretty hell putting pretty secret until it was just announced released? Yes, I see this as a huge victory. They did keep the operational security very tight on this until it happened.

And, you know, one thing we really do need to thank God, I mean, we should be praying that with Greenland, we have that early warning system now in place that is a severe threat. We have a president who is listening to all of his advisors. He trusts them this time. I think in his first administration, he learned a lot because he surrounded himself, unfortunately, and I hate to say this with some Marines that I feel we're not working in his best interests, but now he has true trusted leaders in his cabinet. And when he can engage with Secretary Rubio to make these negotiations with Denmark, who as we all know, they were very out in the open in the media that America can go pound sand and then Donald Trump continued to work. Meetings with the UN, state are concerns.

This is a tremendous victory. But when you look at the going forward, you know, there's nations, mainly China, Russia that are looking at this hypersonic threat that's the real reason that Greenland is an issue, but that's going to get closer and closer is you're looking at submarine launched ballistic missiles. And that's why they go home, which is it's another big price tag. It's another huge investment, but it's something that you have to have. What is life and death, isn't it? It literally is. Yeah, money is out the window when a life and death, by the way, right? Right? You know, yes, and it just shows you how this president, whether it's the threat, it's actually has with. So let me step back with you. So Greenland, one of the strategic points was what you just said, Galen, was the golden dome. What he had talked about, he needed Greenland because you can see all of the missiles coming from Russia, from that part of the world right over Greenland, right in that way. So that was part of the reason, wasn't it?

The strategic real estate that he wanted to be able to do something with this golden dome business, huh? Yes, because that is a current threat. And it's minute, it's reducing the time and allowing you to have greater responsiveness as far as decision making, window period, Greenland was, which we have are our base there, but it's being able to have it be a sovereign controlled portion that the United States will never lose. You don't want to have an investment that is something that you do not have the full total rights to, difference between like buying and selling a call or a put, you know, this way that we will own what we have there and it's never going to be able to go away. Right. Ideally, you want it more. You wanted them to really become more of it. He was actually looking for statehood at some point, but that wasn't going to happen. Not at least in this chapter, who knows down the road, right? You never know. Well, you know, yeah, this is a huge victory that I hope they amplify in the Omni Channel

media. That's the key right there. Will, and that's what Ed was just talking about. They stink at communications. Will they amplify it properly? And that's a factor. That's a nation. I haven't really talked about here. Trump is going to do a blazing rallies all over the country. This to Ed's point, that could make a huge difference. That's because that's not normal. The president who is many presidents at this point, like a Trump in this point, and the second administration really become a lame doc. Trump is far from that, of course, at this point, not at all. And but that usually is the case, but he's in it to win it. And that's going to make a big difference as well. But before I turn the page here, I do want to get your input on Greenland. This was significant. And will they amplify it? Well, I think it's critically significant because Trump is changing to Western hemisphere. Okay, completely. And that's part of the story that he's telling that the rest of the conservatives must

tell because it's not just Venezuela. It's the Greenland and Denmark. Now Greenland and Denmark, I think, did this out of self preservation because they look at Europe and the EU and they see that it going to hell in a hand basket. Okay, they understand it's over being overtaken by these globalists and such. And so that's not going to work. You're exactly right. You're exactly right. There's what's happening with Russia and China and Iran and the threat there are increasingly growing and they see the reticence in the Europeans to do anything about it themselves. Yeah, it was for the self preservation. You're right. By the way, the story about him wanting to put a bigger base, something really strong in Poland. Did you catch that? Yes, yes. And Poland has been a good strong ally with the NATO for a long time. Being half Polish is not biased. But they do have a very strong allegiance because they live as part of the Soviet Union. And Baltic states as well. So those NATO countries that were part of the former Soviet Union are part of a strong

fierce force that will fight because they realize that either you fight or you die under those types of regimes. Yeah. So one thing that people don't realize is Trump's been on this case now for over a decade. And it began his his second administration here in 24. He had people all over the ground in Greenland for months working in negotiations behind the scenes. That's right. But he's done that, you know, not only in the Western hemisphere, look at the Middle East, what he's done in the Middle East. And so if people take a look at the broader strategic front and benefits to America from NASA's security, they got to realize we are in a very precarious position. And what's Trump's doing is solidifying long-term strategic strength for NATO states, which we will probably need in the near future. Yeah. And the key word that you said there, by the way, is if if they will do that, you're exactly right. The if is the big word, isn't it now, you know, for them to do that? And real and real last, I just want to get out to our audience so they know this.

And this was significant as well as the for the first time. It's been and a lot of the stuff gets out into the media and you have to kind of wonder. But the US says for the first time it now has weapons in space. What we know so far was the headline and and it is then confirmed. And the US has confirmed Washington has a landlock revelation that the nation has deployed operational weapons in space. A lot of this comes back to space force and what Trump was working on and so on and so forth. This is quite something and that it gets out there with Russia and China. And this has all happened in before the summit, by the way, which we'll talk about in a moment here. Pretty significant news bulletin, Ed, yeah. Yeah. Well, the strategic communications and they're trying to convey to China, Russia and others, you know, that, you know, we have what things that you need to know about in terms of plain scientific that we already know that you're doing as well. Right. And it's also relaying a communication message to the world. The problem I still have with all this crap or there's investments in Poland with military,

weaponry and all this stuff is, is Russia, China and Iran are all closed societies. We haven't been successful in penetrating those closed societies and causing them to react to us less Trump has done a few things, tariffs and other things. Yeah. And that's what, because as we found out in Iran, you could bomb the hell out of somebody, but that's not going to change the cognitive aspect in their will. Yeah. Okay. So we have to also look at a more strategic investment in cognitive warfare if we're going to win against these countries. Yeah. Leading them to continue to do what they're doing and us reacting to it is a losing proposition. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly it. And we, we are an open book. You're right. We're open society here and the way we operate in our country as a free society. I don't want to really use the words open society for other reasons. But we are a free society here. And that is something we don't know a lot of these. They don't share that stuff overseas like we do.

And of course Trump is really outspoken. It's one of the most accessible presidents. Sometimes you wish he'd say less and not more, which is unusual for a president. Normally you can't get much out of them, but not this one. He stays pretty lit. It gives a lot of, a lot of information to the media. There's a lot of positives about that, friends, but there are some things that can go back to haunt you as well. As I always say to you, we are living in some historical times. It's an interesting time to be alive. As America has just passed the 250 threshold. It's amazing. I want to invite you first back to America out loud.news and share. I mean, incredible, best in class team we have is just remarkable. I tell you all the time I pinch myself every day to really make sure I'm alive. Number one, and two, to really relish in the talent and the amazing, beautiful people we get to work with on a regular basis here on the network. We should never lose sight of that.

It's really, really remarkable here. But we need your help to share. Share the stories, the podcast, the videos. There's a lot there, a lot there. Our news cycle is pretty fast here. You'll see it all day long move, not quite like the stock market, but it does move pretty fast. But check us out, America out loud.news, and share the out loud truth. Tell people about it. If I bring a few friends in next time, will you please? That's how we expand all the good news and overtake the fake news and the lying media out there, the biases and all of that out there for sure. Okay, and this at the shop, by the way, America out loud.shop, use code out loud and get the discounts in there for sure. There's some terrific products out there. Check the water, the restructuring of the water products. They are amazing. We use it in our home here, 100% because it totally changes the water and the taste and the structure of it, like nothing you've ever seen in your life. And I give you my word on that because we're taking it here and it's mind blowing, mind blowing, what happens with the water.

I did a show on it on Project Out Loud, by the way, it's on video and audio with the engineer, the brains, the nerd behind it all. And Joseph Johnson, his name is and it's in on the go to Project Out Loud under the shows and podcast and you'll see it right there. So check it out, please and get the knowledge and get it for yourself. Do it for your family if you don't do it for yourself, even, right? I mean, come on. All right, friends, we're going to take a pause. We're going to return with this distinguished panel and jump into a whole lot more here with Edward Hugglin, major Fred Galvin, Kristen Briggs, a stay right there, more viewpoint ingestible. The American Out Loud talk radio app is on Android or Apple. It's the perfect way to listen in to the new generation of talk shows and hosts who are ready to inform and inspire. During treatment, the structure of tap water gets messed up. Yes, we have to purify water, but what are we doing to fix the water structure so the body can actually absorb it? That is why we created our lab certified structured water devices.

These devices restore water molecules back to their natural structure, just like a mountain stream, making them highly absorbable. It's not how much you drink.

What you're on your back here on viewpoint this Sunday is Malcolm out loud here in privilege as always to be with you, my fellow Americans. To all of our friends around the world, there are a lot of great friends and a lot of great countries. I know there's a country song that sings that way better than I just said it, but you get the point. A lot of people are a lot of places and yeah excited. They tune into America out loud and get the latest. You can listen to us on the I Heart Radio channel and of course on America out loud talk radio where our major networks. All of our shows go to podcasts the next day. We have some great programs and shows and I'll tell you a little secret. You'll only hear it here right now. I'm very serious. You're not going to hear this anywhere else. But we are working on the next chapter of America out loud in a very interesting way and we will be revving things up in a pretty significant way coming in right after this election coming into the new year of 2027.

There will be some major things happening on the network here and it is very exciting to see some of the things we will be doing. So stay close and invite your friends. Yeah. We're joined back here by three distinguished in this great panel discussion. Major Fred Galvan is here. It's a 2070 veteran of the Marine Corps. The Kristen Briggs is here. He's an economic strategist and founder of CEO, Heart S. Amendment. Edward Hugglin, retired federal senior executive and USC of force veteran as well and has worked with the government and understands the inner workings of a lot of these government bureaucracies and it has always been a strong voice to fight against a lot of that. I want to now get over to China and Xi Jinping and the Trump summit and what's really going on there. Kristen Briggs, let's start with you on this. You talk a lot about China. You cover the China a whole lot. This summit here set for September 24th. So it's coming up pretty quick now. They will be meeting by the time we have the next viewpoint in fact.

So Chinese President Xi Jinping keeps saying to Trump that the two nations should be partners not rivals and that cooperation and dialogue are better than friction and confrontation. Are you buying any of that, Kristen? Not really. Not as much as some people might. I can tell you this, the adversary that we have the most is the Briggs nations who leads the Briggs nation is China. China doesn't want us to be successful. They're much like any other predatory seller, lender, currency, manipulator. They're trying to win at all costs. They do it in a very, a very tackful way that looks as if they're being responsive to our needs or being allied with some of our same causes. But in the day, China's number one goal is to become the financial superpower of the world. And they'll do that either through the financial side or the military to get to the financial side. But what China is trying to do right now is to appease President Trump. But Trump's not stupid.

He knows that whenever these two get together, it's really about trying to determine who's saying what and what they're saying has value. What exactly are you telling us? Very much like when you said earlier in the program about our our weaponry in space, I was just recently with the earlier this year with the Secretary of Space Force. And interesting enough to know that we do have a huge amount of resources being put towards space, weaponry and proactive countermeasures against any kind of nuclear first strike. China knows this. China's not worth so much about that. What they're trying to do is undermine the US dollar. And so these summit talks that they're going to get together 24th, 25th, for about a she she ping is in a state of health. There has been some recent rumors and talk about his recent. And hold on. Hold on. Tell us about that. Yes, true. Well, the sources that I've got have said that there was something to it. Now the level and depth that was a full stroke or something.

I don't know. I don't know the answer to that. If it was as bad as I said, she she ping would have absolutely done exactly what he had done. He'll never show weakness in number two. He would never allow anybody in India to give him or to figure out what exactly the problem was because then that would put any any legitimate conversations they've had in the past or momentum would be stalled because she she pinged that would be coming in an outgoing leader. And they would be then starting to put everything on a hiatus until the new leader of China. So probably the she she ping could not take that kind of a risk to show weakness or the inability to fulfill what's already been promised or talked to. And I have a feeling that there is some truth to some of it. I just don't know the depth yet. And I just looked at she she ping a 73 years old right now. And you have to do remember some of these guys just went a lot of reports over the last multiple years that Putin was in very bad health. But you know, these guys seem to keep defying that and they stay with it. So I don't really know what what is.

Yeah, it's it's Putin definitely had some things, but whatever they were, they've obviously been been mitigated to do not can not to do this rail. Well, not only that Christian, but he's doing some of these far out techniques. By the way, how to live forever. Have you heard some of the ESI have? Yes, I have. How to live forever. Here's the five quick lessons on how to live forever. I don't know, man. It's going into some sort of a age defying chamber or something. I don't know, I wish we could all find that. Maybe I'm not sure. But anyways, all right. So this the summit now, the Fred Major Galvan, what do you see at the top of the talking points with with Trump and Xi Jinping? Because what I'm seeing from most of the experts that talk about it is critical minerals, the technology. And they believe Taiwan is going to come into the mix as well. What do you see at the driving this two day summit? Those are the topics.

And as Trump will, he's had this pattern of doing when he goes to the press, he's only to talk about other things. And strategically right now, we have a month and a half before this election. And I think despite what his cabinet and he himself is talking to Xi, what he needs to come out, he needs to get away from the. The personal Trump issues that he always talks about the 2020 election that he wanted. And he needs to talk about what's personal to American, to every American. And that's immigration, that's safety, that's the jobs, that's the lack of the scarcity of housing. These are the types of things that he needs. Just like the issue when we went through COVID, and I'm sure Christian saw it just like I did every single time Trump got in front of the camera. And he's going to have that opportunity this week in DC with President Xi is to bolster the American confidence.

We see it in the business confidence index. I mean, a lot of companies, they're very bullish for this positive business sentiment. But every single American voter, he needs to implore. And he's going to have a lot of time this week. And he needs to do it every day until for the next 45 days, he needs to get out there. I think you're right on target, Kelvin. I really do because I think this is really the elephant in the room that nobody really is understanding. Nobody is a better, does better rallies and can excite the American people and independent and moderates more than this particular president. That's the fact that he's going to commit. And you're exactly right. And you know, with what you're saying right there, it may be 100% right on his predictions of the Congress. And I'm just saying I'm just putting it out there. But Trump does what he's intended to do for the next six weeks, as Galvin is saying right here, I would say friends out there, all bets are off at that point. And you could see some things.

You know, again, nothing has ever been, just because historic norms say one thing, that doesn't mean it's always going to be that way, actually. And so a lot more could happen. I want to now turn the page to this very interesting piece at a Hugglin that arrives the afternoon for people to read. And I want you to explain here, the title of this is the Four Armies, a warning about China's war inside America. Now we know the summit's coming there this week. Tell us about what the four, give us a summary, of course, of the Four Armies and how this might fit into this summit or does it. Give us a sense, please. It does because we're in a very precarious position here. And I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but what I'm going to be, I'm going to be frank with your audience and with the American public, is that China has been conducting a very adept, cognitive war against the United States. And in my first book, The Cognitive War, Why Were You Losing and How We Can Win, I deal on that somewhat. I have a new book coming out in a month or so, The Democrats, Blood Revolution, where I'll unveil it and even more understanding, a detail, understanding of how the Democrats

are working with China, Iran and Russia on this. But let's give you the audience of reality, check here in terms of what's already here in America. Okay, America has already been infiltrated by four major armies and people do not understand this. And what are the armies? The first one, Chinese nationals, there's over 750,000 Chinese nationals in the US right now, 400,000 illegals. Okay, of those at least 100,000 emeltary age men, you have nearly 300,000 Chinese national students and 40 to 60,000 visa holders. And that's not to mention, 750,000 to 1.5 million Chinese who have been nationalized as US citizens now. And those people who come here to escape from China shouldn't be vilified or crucified. But the 750,000 army that's inside the United States should be taken very seriously. And as you just seen yesterday or today before, in the last couple of weeks here, a variety of different reporting on China with the platform out in California, the illegal bi-weapons

labs, the illegal police stations. I mean, they've infiltrated us, the SIM card farms in New York all over the place. The second army, the terrorist drug trade tells there's over 175,000 terrorist drug cartel members here in the United States based on congressional reporting. Then you have the 20 to 30 million illegals now, they all an army. But they vote, they move and they act together because of the benefits and the dependencies. And you only need a small percentage of that to be in an active opposition to the administration to make an army. Then finally, the American radical left, the communist, the radical left, they have tens of thousands to millions, the sum of love, an example. Now he's take, look at these four armies and you wonder, are there any connections between them? And the answer is yes. China aids in abats the antifas and other radicals by folks like Roy Singham, okay?

The drug cartels and China have murdered 1.4 million Americans. 1.4 million Americans have been murdered. Who the hell is calling that out? She is a mass murderer. Now, I think Trump understands these things, but he can't say that China is already at war with us. And I've written several articles in this published on your platform, Alkama, and also in the Washington Times. But the coup domain, the cognitive coup domain has already begun. The war has already begun. It's a surprise attack has already begun. And with these four armies inside the United States, you can imagine what they would need to do with just a small fraction. Remember, 19 hijackers and 9.11. The numbers I just mentioned, even if he took a fraction of it, even if he took a 1% of that, okay, that's thousands of people per state that could be activated to do harm and stuff like that. So we are in a very dangerous position.

And I think Xi knows that going into this thing. He also has the manufacturing that we've not brought back here on antibiotics and such. He has controlled the critical menus. We have a national debt and they've let our stockpile, both Ukraine and Iran. And so Trump's got a lot to balance here. Yeah, he does. And you want to go read this piece on Sunday afternoon, the four armies, a warning about China's war inside America. It has been on this. Like I said, it's got that new book coming out, which we're going to get behind and help them with that and the blood revolution. And it makes a lot of sense as you look deeper into things. Let me turn the page now and get over to two things here. I want to get to next year. But the big question I threw out there is America paying attention. And what do I get that from? It's a very interesting article and show that Major Fred Galvin has done this week. What if scenario?

It's a hypothetical what if? And it kind of gives you the the he be GBS when you read the thing to be honest with you. The policies that could end America. And I want to set the sub of it because it gets into some economic things as well, hyperinflation, that kind of thing. And I want Christian you to comment on some of this in just a moment here. So stay right there, which plays into your thing here. But Fred Galvin, tell me this hypothetical, the policies that could end America, you talk about what if open borders are dispan than military, nationalized industries and defunded law enforcement weren't campaign slogans but enacted a law. And the world's adversaries were simply waiting for us to finish destroying ourselves before moving in. You have such a way to put things. You make people think this isn't science fiction, you say. Every policy in this scenario is publicly advocated for on the record with applause from the left, which is why this communist takeover and the socialists as Ed was talking about, they're out in the full day light now. So this hypothetical 2030 tells us real quickly the summary of that those couple that was

talking 2030 here. But because you lay this out, chapter in verse, tell us give us a sense of this place. Yes, 2030 exactly. So this is what we do in the military, corporate world called modeling, we call it war gaming in military. And this is the culmination of everything we've talked about so far on the show is the economic military, this insurgency that is manifest through the DSA right now. And that is a real threat. That is what China wants. That's what all of our adversaries want. You see that with in this hypothetical article that I wrote in that I spoke about on this last week's show, it describes the safety issues that we have, the threats from radical Islam and all this converging. This is the most dangerous course of action. Like we talk about the military is when you have all this coming together and that is like what I continue to talk about earlier in the show.

Yes, there are negotiations that will be going on before, during and after this week with Chinese Communist Party. But what President Trump needs to focus on is this election for the next 45 days, just like I said, when in COVID you'd sit there and he would come out and he would talk about how confident he'd bring business leaders in the down, the S&P would just skyrocket. That's what we need over the next 45 days is that strategic communication in order to defeat this most dangerous course of action because the reality, and I'm not saying it will happen, but I'm saying America has a vote in this, is the reality is in 2028, there could be a president AOC, there could be a democratically controlled House and Senate. And that would bring about what I talk about this article, it would change all the rules. It would change all the rules. The Supreme Court would change the whole, many of the offices would change.

It would not look the same. The country would likely never come back. And personally, probably it's hard to do it once you lose control like that for sure. This piece, what if a hypothetical, you want to go read it and listen to the show from Major Fred Galvin, it is on americrawloud.news Sunday here, you're listening to the broadcast. And Kristen Briggs, what Major Galvin is talking about here. He talks about looking at, and I like the way he said war games, we all understand what the war games are and modeling things. We understand that and Galvin is better than most when he does that kind of thing. We're talking real world sort of looking at things and saying, okay, this is really the potential for, he's not making a shit up. I mean, this stuff is real stuff that we're talking about here. So one of the things, Kristen, is the collapse of the American economy, which you touch about all the stuff all the time, into hyperinflation, beyond the great depression even he says, the defundent of very municipal and state law enforcement department in the country, and

the disbandment of the United States military. So he draws out a scenario that is sort of like that. Now I want to ask you here, we touched on some of the economic stuff earlier, briefly, very briefly, but right now, and we've got to avoid the side roads right now, but I want to stand the big picture with you a moment and kind of give folks a sense. We see what the Federal Reserve just did with the rates. He's come back and said he's going to have another rate increase before the end of the year. Other economic, economists are telling me there could be three or four rate increases into 2027. And they suspect interest rates are going to jump up 7, 8, 9%, and more cases, cars, all that will be pretty difficult, unaffordable here. I don't see Trump allowing that to happen. He's an economic guy. He's come to, so how does that happen? Where's the brother, eat the road here in this thing, please? Well, actually, what's interesting about the way that you phrased the question, first of all, China, we've been at war with China ever since Nixon went to China back in the early 70s, and that's when the China knew that they were going to have an opportunity

to take us on head to head, especially when we got off the goals standard. So we've been at war with China, and now it's expanded to the BRICS. So that's first and foremost. And I love the person that said, we have issues with how many Chinese military, I mean, direct military PLAs are actually in the United States. Estimates are as high as one to two million on some sources. That was a little point to that out. Well, you did, that's a good point because I'm very close to the former chairman of Homeland Security Committee. And I can tell you this, under the Biden administration, we allowed at least 30 million people to come across that border illegally, both Islamic as well as Chinese, and neither one of those two groups are our friends or allies. But putting back to the Federal Reserve, because this is more of an economic place. I've only got two minutes real quick. The bond market, which dictates policies, Federal Reserve does not dictate policies. What they do, not uninterestrates, they are a borrowing rate organization.

So when they increase the quarter point, what they're trying to signal to the bond market is, which actually dictates what's the tenure or treasury, that we will slow the economy down as needed or necessary. The problem that you have is, it's not a credit inflation. This is an energy inflationary way of which we're now involved. This is like 1979. This isn't about expanding credit too much or overstimulating the economy through government spending. That has to something, please. Let me jump in. What irritates me and should it not or should it, and probably a lot of other Americans irritate as well, is why the hell do they keep manipulating the system on us these bastards? Well, why not? It puts money in their pocket, Malcolm. Why not? Federal Reserve has anonymity and autonomous type world because you can't fire them. You can't appoint them. Remember, they're a private corporation. They're going to do what they're going to do, but Trump's trying to take away all the

ability of the Federal Reserve and push it over to treasury. So it falls under a federally law. What is he doing? He's not cheating. That is he. No, he's not. I'll tell you why. Think of the 13 families that own the Federal Reserve. Not one of them is in a position other than ultimate power. Plus they have a $40 billion a year is what goes through the Federal Reserve on the bonds that they hold. They have $40 billion a year at their disposal and paid in interest. Think about how much damage you can do with that kind of money. What about wars? Does he make a difference? Can he be a different maker? Something happened here, no. Yeah, what he's trying to do is nothing. What he's trying to do is look, look, I'll give it to you real quick. Stable coin regulatory environment is alive and well. Clarity act will probably get passed in some shape or form. The SEC, CFTC will just take it upon themselves to create that. What that means is where it should have been coming from the Federal Reserve. The regulations on stable coins should have come from Federal Reserve. Trump pushed it back over to treasury to treasury to work with CFTC and the SEC.

What he did was he put a wars in there to do nothing. He doesn't want the Federal Reserve making any moves to put us into a position where they are still the monetary policy authority to strip. So Trump's goal you're saying is to disband that group, that organization. That's. I know for a fact, but will he succeed? Yes or no? In the long run, it's going to be very challenging because if we lose the House and the Senate, all bets are off Trump becomes very, listen, I'm going to say one last part. One of the, this came from a text from one of the biggest donors that Trump has. If Trump loses in the House and the Senate, he'll be impeached. I don't know if he'll be convicted, but he'll be put basically in 28 and we lose the White House. They're going to come after all the donors and all the Trump administration people and he knows that. That's the problem. We don't. That's it. We leave you with all kind of great news, my fellow Americans. Thanks, Chris. Thank you. Thanks for always. Hey, listen, it's always a good time on this show.

I love being on it. I love being on it. And I'll tell you that's the voice of Kristen Briggs. And he gets into it. I've got to tell you what. Nature, Fred Galvin, Edward Huggland, and it's like talking to three old friends. I have to tell you here, three brilliant, brilliant minds. And this is a show everybody needs to listen to and hear a lot of valuable information here. Thanks for joining me on the mission here. It's time to get involved and get loud, America.
