Plus: Pence Slams American Companies, Celebrities on Support for China
July 15 2021
Good morning from Washington, where former Vice President Mike Pence uses a major speech at The Heritage Foundation to chide U.S. companies and public figures for cozying up to Communist China. On the podcast, Heritage’s Dean Cheng and Justin Rhee share little-known facts from the think tank’s new report on China. Plus: Kay James on the left’s cluelessness about voting rights; Rachel Greszler on runaway unemployment benefits; and Kelsey Bolar on uncertain job prospects for women. Fifteen years ago today, a San Francisco-based podcasting company publicly releases Twitter, a “microblogging” service originally dubbed Twttr and designed as a short messaging service for groups.
“In many respects, Communist China poses a greater challenge to the United States than the Soviet Union ever did throughout the Cold War,” says former Vice President Pence.
Historically, about 40% of unemployed workers get unemployment insurance benefits. Since Congress passed massive expansions during the pandemic, that figure has quadrupled.
The Chinese Communist Party remains highly secretive. Fortunately, sources outside China’s government provide details about what’s really happening within the communist regime.
Since February 2020, more than 1.6 million women have gone “missing” from the economy, and some question the need ever to go back. Kamala Harris calls the situation a national emergency.
