the Joe Rogan experience. I've then dug into what's happening with Chinese
buying the Chinese
government or Chinese nationals buying farmland and I've got a map if I can
find it of where
they're buying this land and it's around U.S. military installations. They're
buying up land
around U.S. military installations. And so when you look at the amount of land
that they're buying,
it's not all that much. It's a lot of land. But given as much land as there is,
it's like
maybe less than 1%. But when you look at it strategically around military
installations,
it's really concerning. And then when you look at what's happening at those
military installations
that they have land around, like B-2 stealth bomber training, drone training
and all, it's
very, very troubling.
God, it's so strategic where it's all placed.
Yeah. If I can get a hold of that map and show it to you.
It's kind of crazy that the United States has been invaded. And when did that
start with the
purchase of farmland?
Yeah. You know, it's been going on.
For how long?
Like when did it, this is talking about, Sun owns 40% of Chinese old land in
the U.S. He owns over 100,000 acres of land in Val
Verde County, Texas. All those two companies, Brazos, Highland Properties, and
Harvest, Texas, through his two companies. His purchases in 2016, 2017, his
plans to build a wind farm as well as his purported ties to Chinese military
drew scrutiny in Texas several years.
After his acquisitions, he ultimately was denied permission to proceed with his
wind farm plans. So they own the land, but they won't let him proceed with the
wind farm.
Yeah. And they're building a wind farm where it's not very windy, but it does
butt up against a strategic military installment.
What a coincidence. This is the best land that was available. Sorry. How would
that be possible here under logical laws? Because in China, you can't do that.
They're smart. You can't just buy their land.
We absolutely cannot buy farmland. No. No. You can't buy their businesses
either.
Now, we had a man on talking about this, a farmer, and he said they also own
the grain elevator where we sell our grain. The Chinese own that. The Chinese
government owns that.
So, and I said Chinese government. Chinese own that. Now, is it the government?
Is it a government agent who owns it? He said it's Chinese owned and controlled.
If they decide to stop buying his grain, I said, what happens? He said, well...
Fucked. We're out of business. Yeah. And then you take that on top of that, the
topsoil crisis in this country. Yeah. They've got like 60 more crops left.
Unless they do something radical to change it. Yeah. And again, you know, I
want to be real careful about how to talk about this because I'm not trying.
Look, we have so many Chinese Americans here that are wonderful people that
contribute so much.
I don't want to say anything to create any animus against these people or
Chinese people in general. So many of these people are trying to get away from
the Chinese Communist Party. They're just trying to get away from them. How
they're getting out, I don't know. It's a long way and it's expensive. And you
don't just wake up in China and say, you know, I think I'll take a vacation.
That's not how that's not how that works. You've got to get a visa, right? You've
got to get permission to leave. You've got family back there. I don't know how
they're getting out, but I know that we've got an awful lot coming across our
southern border.
And when military-age Chinese men are showing up at the border, and it's mostly
in California where they're showing up, and it's an awful lot.
You really have to wonder. You really do have to wonder.
Did you ever think you'd be in a position where you'd be talking like this?
No.
Because it sounds conspiratorial, right?
It does sound conspiratorial. And, you know, I deal with psychological issues,
but these are issues that are on people's mind now.
They're saying, I'm anxious about this. It bothers me. I feel like my family is
under attack here. We don't have the peace of mind that we used to have. We don't
have the—even farmers are saying, you know, this is troubling to us.
We don't know what to do about this.
Yeah.
We don't know how to feel about it. We don't know what to say about it. And
nobody's talking about this. Well, I'm talking about it.
Well, I'm glad you are. Because if not, we'll be talking about it when it's too
late. And we'll be saying, how the fuck did we not see this coming?
And what I want is, I think if people will start talking about it, people will
hear us talking about it, and say, you know, these aren't crazy conspiracy guys.
These are pretty commonsensical guys that are saying, we should just ask the
questions. We should be asking—why isn't anybody asking the questions?
And we're not the only people asking the questions, but we certainly have big
microphones to be asking the questions with.
It's just a complete failure of corporate media that they're not asking these
questions.
Yeah. And that is the entire reason that I did this network, Merritt Street
Media. You know, Robin, and I was sitting at our kitchen bar at our house in
California, and I was flipping back and forth between different news networks.
And I was getting so frustrated. I said, why won't somebody just tell the truth?
Why does everything have to be spin, spin, spin, spin, spin? Why doesn't
somebody just say what's happening and let us do it?
The media just won't say it straight. And she was sitting there eating, and she
didn't even look up. She just said, well, you are the media.
And I thought, yeah, well, she said, you have a bigger audience than those last
three combined, so why don't you do something about it?
Yeah, it really kind of hit me hard. And I thought, why don't I do something
about it? I mean, why don't I create a platform to just ask the questions and
tell the truth without all the spin and let people make up their own mind?
I mean, somebody needs to say, have you thought about or did you know that last
year 33,000 plus Chinese came across the border illegally?
Did you know that? And I just want you to know and do with it as you will. And
if it causes you to start asking questions and writing your congressman or
asking questions of them, then great.
But you ought to at least know this is happening. I don't want you to come up
five years from now and say, well, nobody ever said anything to me. Well, yeah,
they did. I raised my hand and I said it. And maybe it'll cause somebody else
to say it and somebody else to say it.
Has anybody had a conversation with you about this that has an opposing
perspective?
Oh, of course.
What is their perspective?
Their perspective is these aren't illegal immigrants. You can't. That's that's
not kind to say they're illegal.
OK, well, well, we've always used that term for lack of a better term.
Well, OK, so undocumented. What do you want to call them?
Well, that's unkind. They're they're migrants. And I understand they want to be
here. I don't I don't begrudge them that if if I was living over there.
Under an oppressive government like that, I would want to I would want to be
gone and I totally get it.
I would I would want to be out of there. I really do. I get that. But that
doesn't change the fact that we have to pretend that we don't know what's going
on.
We need to be aware of it. And if if if it means that we need to say, look,
this is concerning.
We shouldn't be selling farmland around military installations.
There's a lot of land to buy. Wonder why they're buying it.
Right up against military installations.
Have any politicians talked about this? Has Trump ever talked about this?
Not that I am aware of.
Why would that not be something he would bring up?
Well, you would certainly think he would.
Yeah. I mean, I know he's talked about the border, but I don't think he's
talked about it in depth.
Is it possible that he's not aware of it as far as the way you're aware of it?
How could he not? How could he not be? But then again, the guy's got like five
legal cases going on.
He's running for president. He's selling sneakers.
Yeah. See his sneakers.
No, I saw that he was selling a pair for Tony Hinchcliffe.
They're perfect for him. They're gold. They're gold sneakers.
He's got like three pairs. One's white. One's one's red.
Yeah.
Wow. That's rough.
Hey, stop it, Jamie.
For 400 bucks, that's like expensive.
Oh, I heard there was 5,000. That's what I think they're already sold out.
They're selling them online for five grand because we're going to wear them for
Sober October.
Okay.
Look at those things. Look at these monstrosities.
Look at these things.
Oh, wow.
You're going to get a pair?
Oh, hell yeah. I can see Dr. Phil rocking a Trump gold.
How do I airdrop something to you?
Oh, here we go again.
How do you come up?
It'd be like Jamie's MacBook Pro.
Got it.
Got it.
Bam.
I just airdropped this to you. It says waiting.
I am accepting it.
Okay.
What is this?
This is this map with the military installations. You got to look at this.
Is it similar to what he just showed?
No.
Jamie just showed where the farmland was.
Yeah, this is different. Look at this.
So there's the military?
That's the farmland. There's the military installations on top of it.
Oh, wow.
That's crazy.
Look at that.
Now, is that...
Look how much farmland they have.
But is that accidental? Come on.
That's not random.
It doesn't seem too random, but it also seems amazing how much farmland they
have.
Yeah.
Was this always legal?
Is that part of the problem with our open society, that any foreign country can
come over here, any foreign investor can come over here and buy land?
Well, I thought there was restrictions on what foreign entities could buy.
So, number one is Canada.
Canada has the most farmland.
They own 12.8 million acres here.
Netherlands owns 4.9.
Italy owns 2.7.
UK, 2.5.
Germany, 2.3.
And China...
380,000.
380,000.
And this is as of...
2023.
June of last year.
Yeah.
It seems pretty strategic where it's owned.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because if you put that back up for a second, let me tell you what's at some of
these places.
It says right at the beginning is...
Land near the Air Force Base in Grand Forks, North Dakota, sending lawmakers
into a frenzy in 2021.
Yeah.
You know, there's another thing that Mike Baker, who's from the CIA, had
brought up, is that one of the things that they're doing is selling cell phone
tower equipment.
And selling routers and undercutting other companies and making, like, really
good deals.
So they can set up these cheap routers and cell phone companies.
And, you know, a lot of these have been proven, especially with the company
Huawei, right?
When they outlawed Huawei from selling phones in this country.
Yeah.
They were proven that some of their technology has third-party access.
They can do things and siphon information and perhaps even, you know, intercept
cell phone signals.
Yeah.
Well, at that, where they bought in Utah, it's the largest supersonic
authorized restricted airspace in the United States.
They've got land right next to it.
Whitman Air Force Base, B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber Base, Missile and Drone
Operations, MQ-9 Reaper, Global Strike Command,
three intercontinental ballistic missile wings, all, and they're right next to
it.
Fort Liberty, they're right next to it.
I mean, all of that stuff.
Who, who, why would you want your biggest global threat next to those?
You have no idea what they have there.
I don't play StarCraft, but I imagine if I was watching someone play StarCraft
and all this was setting up, I'm like, oh, they're going to get smoked.
Yeah.
That's, I mean, it's just.
It's insane.
I think you've got to be concerned.
But it's just weird that it's legal.
It really is.
It's really weird.
And especially given what we know about Chinese corporations, that they are a
part of the government.
They're, they work hand in hand.
They don't, they don't get to be independent.
Yeah.
And.
Still lawmakers from both parties want to limit purchases by Chinese companies,
especially those with ties to the Chinese government, which is all of them, and
individuals.
To this end, there are several bills in Congress aimed at limiting Chinese
ownership separately.
The Biden administration is tightening its rules over who can buy land near
military bases.
Thank you.
