1100-1115 1/4: When China Attacks: A Warning to America by Grant Newsham (Author) https://www.amazon.sg/When-China-Attacks-Warning-America/dp/1684513650 Communist China is ambitious. It wants to replace the United States as the world's leading superpower. And it is well on its way. It is dominant in the world economy. It is a master at intellectual property theft. It shows strategic genius at cornering essential markets. It has been staggeringly successful in buying influence among American elites. And its military buildup is astonishing. So far, China has been waging a cold war on the United States and its Asian allies. But, emboldened by American weakness and decline, that cold war is about to turn hot. The flashpoint will be Taiwan—but the war will extend over the entire Pacific Theatre. The results could be devastating. America is facing the possibility of humiliating regional retreat—one with almost unimaginable costs to our economy and security. That's the warning of Grant Newsham, a longtime China analyst for the Marine Corps, the Foreign Service, and Morgan Stanley Bank in Japan. His shocking new book *When China Attacks* is a fire bell in the night—a warning about an imminent hot war that we are already in the process of losing. It offers a frightening, but well-founded, blow-by-blow account of what might happen.

| 0:00.0 | Good evening. |
| 0:01.0 | Tonight's show begins in Las Vegas. |
| 0:02.8 | The Mirage and Tropicana hotels are down or going down, imminent. |
| 0:08.2 | Building of new structures in the New Las Vegas. |
| 0:12.2 | First, where the Mirage has stood these years and a volcano I'm told |
| 0:16.5 | by my good colleague Jeff Bliss who often travels to Las Vegas. A volcano in front of the Mirage, that is gone too. In place of the mirage will be the |
| 0:26.0 | hard rock hotel and casino with a gigantic guitar in the shape of a guitar but it will be rooms inside so it's a hotel built out of a |
| 0:37.4 | guitar I inquired to Jeff whether the sphere it is not far away and can see the guitar will be in communication. |
| 0:47.0 | The sphere playing the guitar is my idea, a rock and roll entrance for Las Vegas. At the Tropicana, that space on the |
| 0:56.7 | strip, Jeff tells me, will be the new baseball stadium, Major League Baseball |
| 1:01.4 | will be played there. |
| 1:03.0 | The Oakland A's who will soon be the Las Vegas A's or whatever name they come up with. |
| 1:09.0 | Something agreeable. |
| 1:11.0 | That's Las Vegas, growing all the time, big plans, magic city, already to be a federated |
| 1:19.1 | city for the star systems. |
| 1:21.1 | However, we turn now to the report about Disney. Jeff underlines the fact that |
| 1:28.5 | some people, frauds, have been pretending or obliging Disney to recognize them as physically |
| 1:37.4 | challenged. Sometimes even bringing dogs that are tricked up as if they're seeing eye dogs and they're not. |
| 1:46.2 | Disney is challenging people now and there's been some pushback from genuinely, physically challenged people who say they don't like being |
| 1:55.6 | interrogated or whatever happens. This has to do with how fast you go through the |
| 2:00.1 | long lines for the rides. It's a puzzle but Jeff's a veteran and he sorts it out. |
