October 25, 2022 INTERVIEW | Here’s Why Xi Jinping Is Considered the ‘Most Powerful Chinese Dictator Since Mao’
The 20th Congress of the Chinese Communist Party wrapped up its weeklong, twice-a-decade meeting over the weekend with Chinese President Xi Jinping securing his third five-year term.
"The third term was not a surprise at all [but] the extent to which he consolidated his power was," Michael Cunningham, a research fellow at The Heritage Foundation, says of Xi's grip on the Chinese Communist Party. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s multimedia news organization.)
Xi "managed to get to force people to retire prematurely who were not his proteges and to replace them with proteges, his own handpicked people," Cunningham says. "So now he controls essentially the entire Politburo Standing Committee. There are very few checks on his power now."
Rep. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., warned on "Fox News Sunday" that Xi "has become the most powerful Chinese dictator since Mao."
"The amount of power consolidation that [Xi] accomplished this time, it really shows that ... there are very few checks to his power now," Cunningham says, adding:
It's hard to say for sure what extent that power will be until we see it in action, but just based on the past 10 years, we've seen that even without controlling the entire leadership lineup as he does now, he managed to push through his preferred policies.
Cunningham joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss what the U.S. should expect during Xi's third term, how Taiwan will be affected, and the state of U.S.-China relations.

October 24, 2022 INTERVIEW | Rev. Giacomo Capoverdi Rebukes School for Pornographic Books
When the public high school in Westerly, Rhode Island, made available to students two books with pornographic content, the Rev. Giacomo Capoverdi sprang into action with more than a dozen other clergy.
The books—“Gender Queer” and “Fun Home”—are not appropriate for high school students, according to a letter 14 clergy wrote to The Westerly Sun. Despite facing a backlash from school officials and the LGBT movement, Capoverdi isn’t backing down.
He joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to explain why he’s using his leadership position as a Catholic priest at Immaculate Conception Church in Westerly to speak out and take action.
The full transcript is available at DailySignal.com.

October 21, 2022 INTERVIEW | Nile Gardiner on Why Liz Truss Failed as Prime Minister of UK
Liz Truss resigned as prime minister of Great Britain on Thursday after just 45 days on the job.

It’s possible that her predecessor and fellow Conservative Party member, Boris Johnson, will seize upon the moment and become prime minister of the United Kingdom again, just months after he resigned from the position, according to The Heritage Foundation's Nile Gardiner. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)

"There's a lot of speculation that Boris Johnson ... is going to run as a candidate in the Conservative Party leadership race," says Gardiner, a former aide to then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and now director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at Heritage. "Having met Boris on many, many occasions and hosted him here at Heritage, I think that Boris, if he decides to run, would be a very, very powerful candidate."

Truss will remain prime minister until a successor is named. Gardiner joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss why Truss failed, the lessons that can be learned from her short tenure, and what is next for Great Britain.

October 20, 2022 INTERVIEW | America’s Military Strength Is Declining. Here’s How to Fix It
The U.S. military not only is weak overall but “at growing risk of not being able to meet the demands of defending America’s vital national interests,” according to a new report from The Heritage Foundation.
On Tuesday, Heritage released its 2023 Index of U.S. Military Strength, a document of nearly 600 pages that assesses the strength of America’s armed forces.
“In our index, we score or measure the status of American military power in the year that’s just passed. Over years, you can start to see trends and you can see the implications for the United States, and our foreign policy, and economic health, and those sorts of things,” says Dakota Wood, a senior research fellow in The Heritage Foundation’s Center for National Defense. (The Daily Signal is Heritage’s multimedia news organization.)
“I think it’s the easiest way to think about it, is how did the Army do? The Navy, the Air Force, and [other] military services? And what was the nature of the world?” Wood, who served for over two decades as a Marine, says.
Wood joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to break down the findings of the Index of U.S. Military Strength, how America’s military compares to that of China, and what he hopes Americans will take away from the report.

October 19, 2022 INTERVIEW | 'Not Sure Taiwan's Going to Survive,' Defense Expert Warns of Xi's Push for 'Reunification'
Chinese President Xi Jinping renewed his calls for the "reunification" of China and Taiwan on Sunday during the opening session of the 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party.
"We will continue to strive for peaceful reunification with the greatest sincerity and the utmost effort, but we will never promise to renounce the use of force, and we reserve the option of taking all measures necessary," Xi said.
China is "determined to pursue reunification on a much faster timeline," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday.
"So, now it's sort of pretty clear that the Chinese are thinking seriously of making a move. So, why aren't we acting like it?" says Elbridge Colby, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategy and force development in the Defense Department.
"Why aren't we acting on a national mobilization effort precisely to avoid a war? Because once we get into a war, it's definitely going to be far more expensive and costly in terms of lives and resources. And it may be too late if we wait that long," Colby says.
Colby joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss Xi's comments, his recent article in Time magazine about why the U.S. should defend Taiwan, and what message could be sent if the U.S. is not able to successfully deter China from invading Taiwan.
