Hey, this is Buck Sexton, and you're listening to the Tudor Dixon Podcast, part of the Clay Traverse and Buck Sexton Podcast, not what?

Welcome to the Tudor Dixon Podcast. I'm Tudor Dixon, and I am so glad you're joining me today.

Today, I want to continue our deep dive into discussions about the existential threat of China, and specifically the Chinese Communist Party,

which has so deeply infiltrated our institutions, businesses, and communities.

You may not even know their influences. It spreads far beyond Washington, D.C.

We're actually seeing China cut deals left and right with state and local governments, and politicians throughout the country, California, North Dakota, right here in Michigan.

You've heard me all. You've all heard me talking about it. They've all claimed them as targets by China, and they push to buy land near critical resources and military bases.

It's naive or maybe even politically desperate elected officials that go as high up as governors who are being wooed by the false promises of more jobs.

You even heard Governor Young can say he's not going to be wooed by jobs over national security, because this is fully compromising our national security.

So I'm bringing in an expert today to help us understand what's happening and why.

Bill Evenina is a former U.S. counterintelligence chief with decades of experience serving as the director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center under both President Obama and Trump.

He was the chief of the CIA's counter espionage group and served 24 years in the FBI.

He's now taken all of this knowledge and advises CEOs and boards of directors for some of our largest corporations on the foreign risks they face and how to best prepare and respond to these threats.

Before I bring Bill on with me, I want to first remind you guys about consumer tax advocate.

Many of you did the tough thing through COVID. You know who you are. You paid your people and pulled your business through the pandemic and it wasn't easy.

And now because you did that tough thing, you could qualify for up to $26,000 per employee.

That's per employee at covidtaxrelief.org. Government funds are available to reward companies with two or more employees who stayed open during COVID.

Here's the thing, it's not alone and you don't have to pay it back.

This program is complicated but no one knows more than the CPAs and tax experts at covidtaxrelief.org.

You pay nothing upfront. They do all of the work and they share a percentage of the cash that they get for you.

Businesses of all types including nonprofits and churches can qualify including those who took PPP loans.

Even if you had an increase in sales in sales during that time, you did the tough thing for your employees during COVID.
