One of the biggest stories today is about the gaming company Blizzard banning a player

0:05.3

and rescinding prize money over their public support for the Hong Kong protesters.

0:10.3

I've also heard a rumor, we'll get to it, that they may have even fired a couple of employees

0:13.7

who interviewed the guy in the first place and tried hiding. Here's the thing. A lot of American

0:19.3

companies are bending the knee to China. They're just giving into the censorship. And what's really

0:24.9

fascinating is that we have numerous stories as of late all in the same vein. And it might be because

0:31.2

of South Park. Seriously. Now there's been a story emerging for some time that Hollywood and movies

0:37.6

were changing or censoring certain things so that they could be aired in China because a lot of these

0:42.5

businesses, hey, they just want money. And if China says no, they'll change it. And think about how

1:24.9

people don't realize is that the trade war with China, you know, Trump and what he's negotiating

1:30.2

is is nothing compared to the greater global conflict that may be on the horizon as China becomes

1:35.7

a bigger and bigger superpower. And we see more and more companies in the United States bending the

1:41.4

knee to the will of China. You have to recognize we can't reconcile our cultural breaking, you know,

1:47.9

the break between our cultures. China wants censorship. China censors and disappears people. China has

a detention center for people simply because they're Muslim. These are things we detest. And there are
