This is America First and here's your host, Dr. Sebastian Gorka.

Welcome dear friends to America First, one on one, where we talk to the people who know the

newsmakers, the people who understand what is going on domestically and internationally,

and we are uninterrupted. We have a longer-form discussion to get you as much information as

is possible and is relevant. Today, a good friend of America First, somebody who has been

speaking truth about national security for decades, he is the national security correspondent

for the Washington Times, author most recently of deceiving the sky inside Communist China's

Drive for Global Supremacy. Welcome to one on one, Bill Gertz.

Good to be on the show Sebastian. Bill, with this long-form discussion,

for those who aren't familiar with our guests, I like them to introduce themselves briefly

at the start of our discussion before we dive in. So, for those who don't know who Bill Gertz is,

which I find hard to credit, tell them how you got to where you are today and what your career has

been today. Just give us a little resume of Bill Gertz. Sure. Since 1985, I've been writing

for the Washington Times as a reporter and columnist. I was also briefly a editor for a while.

Now, my title is National Security Columnist, corresponded. In addition to that,

I have also been an author and have written eight national security books. Four of them were

New York Times bestsellers. Again, the most recent deceiving the sky really is an important

primer on the threat posed by Communist China. And it follows on a book I wrote 20 years ago

called The China Threat, which was a play on what Beijing calls the China Threat Theory.

I've been focusing almost exclusively on the threat from China as well as other national security

threats in my career and in my current duties as national security correspondent.
