| I tell people there's three political parties in the United States. | |
| You know, Trump or Elon said he's going to make the third political party. | |
| There's already three political parties in the United States, right? | |
| So he might make the fourth political party. | |
| But the three political parties in the United States are the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and the Chinese Communist Party. | |
| What happens is the Democratic Party sees the Republican Party as the enemy, and the Republican Party sees the Democratic Party as the enemy. | |
| And the Chinese Communist Party sees them both as the enemy. | |
| And their goal is to reinforce the behaviors and beliefs of those two parties, right? | |
| So if I can get them to hate each other even more, right? | |
| So we're very aware of hyper-partisanship today. | |
| But what we're not aware of is the role of the Chinese Communist Party in influencing that, influencing economically, influencing it through their relationships, encouraging the slanders that each of them have towards each other. | |
| And I think if the two parties understood that while they certainly can have disagreements between each other, they are both of American descent. | |
| What happens is the Chinese Communist Party is convincing them that no, they're actually mortal enemies. | |
| And what the Chinese Communist Party wants them to do is to fight between themselves to the point of destruction of the United States. | |
| That is pure communism. | |
| How do I destroy a society? | |
| I destroy it from within. | |
| I create distrust. | |
| I create division. | |
| This is the Chinese Communist Party way. | |
| We have entered into the era where this ability for our enemies to insert subtle messages that create partisanship, that destroy support for patriotism, that destroy faith and confidence in our system of government. | |
| Who are these crazy founders to come up with three branches of government? | |
| And that's just a bad idea. | |
| And we just need, like Trudeau would say, we need a system like China. | |
| It's a basic dictatorship. | |
| We need dictatorship because policy is so messy now because we have these three competing branches of government. | |
| I feel like there's too much quiet prejudice in America about a bunch of things, but that quiet prejudice has been planted there. | |
| This is why we're in such dire straits, I think, because there's a lot of quiet prejudice that's been placed in our psyches. | |
| When you look at the United States, in a military sense, when you talk about cognitive warfare, information warfare, that is actually in the guard and it's in civil affairs. | |
| Like that sounds strange, doesn't it? | |
| Would you place psychological and political warfare in civil affairs and it would be in the guard? | |
| It's not even a mainstream, you know, an active duty practice. | |
| We've got so specialized militarily in the application of force, we've kind of lost sight of the more subtler tools of warfare. | |
| The fact that our national security establishment really has no concept of information warfare when it comes to what's happening in the United States. | |
| It's really related to how the intelligence community is not really, you know, by law allowed to work within the U.S. So we have these enormous political warfare and psychological warfare campaigns happening in the United States. | |
| We have nobody that's responsible for responding to them. | |
| The country that does this well right now is Taiwan. | |
| They had to. | |
| In 2020, I met with Tsai Ying-wen, the president, and we talked about the psychological warfare, the political warfare going on in Taiwan. | |
| And they had created NGOs to go after it. | |
| They had created country policies in terms of how they do information management. | |
| But also they have created tools, algorithms, and other things to recognize, first to recognize disinformation and then to counter it. | |
| There is nothing else that I've encountered in the West that is similar to these tools and how they're being used. | |
| So there is no recognition that cognitive warfare is kind of the name of the game today. |
