Yeah, now that's where I was going next, Josh, is how – whoever's behind this, if there is masterminding, if there is a legit spy operation, Beijing is behind it, CCP, whoever, how are they targeting – vulnerable politicians? Are they looking at just Democrats? Do they know enough about our political system? Do they find a potential weak, vulnerable target? How are they figuring it out?

I can give you some insider information because I personally investigated one of these cases back in between 2008 and 2012.

So at the time, you know, I was a very new investigative reporter working in New York.

And, you know, of course, with Epoch Times still, I've been there a long time.

But I was investigating John Liu.

John Liu, former city council member, Flushing, Queens, one of the big Chinese communities, later became New York City Comptroller and later ran for, you know, governor of New York or sorry, mayor of New York.

They wanted to push him to be president, according to some of the backroom statements.

I mean, what, What does Democrat Swalwell, how does he play into any mastermind vision that China has? What is their end game? What are they doing using sex to get into our politics?

And that's the larger message here, at least part of it.

Yeah, I actually think this is more about Iran than it is anything else.

You could also say it's actually also about North Korea and kind of the train Trump is on right now.

You know, he took out Maduro.

He took out, of course, the Ayatollah.

He's been taking out key leaders within these enemy nations.

They say Cuba's next.

Would withdrawing forces, as the president has threatened, would that be the ultimate, okay, I'm really serious about this?

I had no idea until I saw this.

Well, let's paint the actual image of fraud in the United States.

We don't even know the amount being stolen from individuals.

Like, you know, individual Americans being robbed.

We don't even fully know.

Many people don't even report when they get robbed.

Most of us get multiple spam calls every single day.

How does a scam work?

Th- they have so many different fingers in the American pie trying to bring us down that it's difficult to digest the breadth of all of it.

Yeah.

So, uh, part of my work as an investigative journalist has been investigating what's called the United Front Work Department.

Um, in fact, I was one of the first journalists to expose this going back to 2008.

Uh, this is tied into what we know as the secret Chinese police stations.

That- that's actually a very small part of the whole picture.

Jamestown Foundation recent report found there's about 1,000 United Front organizations just in the United States.

Wild how all this stuff works.

With one life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.

This is Joshua Phillips, senior investigative reporter at the Epoch Times, and this is his glory.

Tell us what you know.

Well, so Israel did strike some of the oil fields or the oil facilities in Iran.

Trump was very unhappy about that.

Some things happened behind the scenes.

We don't know how tense that was or how that went.

But Trump basically came out and said Israel will not be doing that again.

I think this ties into the long range kind of view of the war.
