We are seeing this exact misdirection play out…Open

Professor Penn hosts solo and opens the episode by challenging the media’s framing of Trump’s meeting with Xi Jinping, arguing that Trump is not “soft” on China but strategically rebalancing a relationship that was distorted by decades of globalism, cheap imports, and American leaders failing to guard the country’s door. He uses China, Taiwan, manufacturing, green cards, immigration policy, and U.S. deficits to argue that America has allowed sovereignty, citizenship, and self-governance to be weakened by both parties. The episode also focuses on the cost of big government, entitlement spending, debt, and what Penn sees as a political class that expands bureaucracy while pretending to solve the problems it created. Penn criticizes…
