00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.700
The Inauguration Day begins with a service at St. John's Episcopal Church, which was the VVIP ticket.

00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:15.420
Very difficult to get to. In fact, in order to get in the rotunda as a guest, you had to start in the St. John's Church.

00:00:16.010 --> 00:00:20.510
So only those that were in St. John's Church actually ended up getting tickets into the rotunda.

00:00:21.010 --> 00:00:23.070
Joe Rogan was there, everyone was there.

00:00:23.330 --> 00:00:25.890
So we had a lot of time to burn, the President was a little bit late.

00:00:26.050 --> 00:00:27.710
Church that Antifa tried to burn down.

00:00:27.730 --> 00:00:29.110
Correct, right outside of the White House.

00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:34.470
And so, kind of going around, the next thing you know, I run into the Vice President of China.

00:00:34.690 --> 00:00:35.190
As you do.

00:00:36.150 --> 00:00:37.250
Yeah, just normal.

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.200
Super weird rather remarkable. It's like so I was like I gotta get a picture, right?

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:51.560
So I go up that's my picture with the vice president of China my guy. We did this

00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:56.660
Oh gosh, not yet. This is exclusive thought crime stuff here. Here we go. He saved it

00:00:56.660 --> 00:01:00.820
I wanted to tweet it. JD did post it. Yeah, so I should probably post mine

00:01:00.820 --> 00:01:04.860
Wasn't there something where JD didn't release it, but it was actually like a Chinese outlet released it or something?

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.400
I have no idea. So I don't know what this guy's name is

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.880
He was really nice and so as soon as I get a picture of him some guy with a camera

00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:16.370
It's kind of one of those it's like a stick with a camera

00:01:16.370 --> 00:01:19.590
Do you know I'm talking about like a little stick as if you're looking like a selfie stick?

00:01:20.090 --> 00:01:24.650
Yeah, but it's like some sort of a technology. I haven't seen okay. It's like a stick

00:01:24.650 --> 00:01:28.570
But it has like a mobile camera that kind of goes like this. Oh, I know

00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:31.190
It's got a it's got a gosh

00:01:32.240 --> 00:01:34.220
like brain fart. I know what you're talking about. It's like a GoPro.

00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.420
So he goes up, he's like, what's your name? What's your name? I said, my name's Jack Pasovec.

00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:37.940
It's Han Jong.

00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:40.200
Ah, great.

00:01:40.700 --> 00:01:44.460
No, I said, my name's Charlie Kirk, and then I said, whatever. So then we go sit down,

00:01:45.460 --> 00:01:49.980
and if you've ever been in St. John's Episcopal Church, it's very tight, very close quarters,

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.840
and I'm not saying anything private because everyone saw what was happening here,

00:01:55.140 --> 00:02:01.440
and so up on the, there's like this upper ring where you look down on the service,

00:02:02.190 --> 00:02:09.650
There's the one of the CCP handlers is like filming the whole crowd. Yeah, he's filming everybody

00:02:09.650 --> 00:02:15.450
During the service so they can use facial like one of these things like where it's got the little yeah, but no

00:02:15.450 --> 00:02:21.270
So he's filming it. So here's the Secret Service who's like you can't bring water into the church, right?

00:02:21.470 --> 00:02:23.870
And there's a Chinese Communist Party

00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:31.220
Agent government officials like filming everybody and so all of a sudden some of the White House staff is like they're starting to point up hearings

00:02:31.220 --> 00:02:31.900
He's like

00:02:32.090 --> 00:02:36.810
going down there, they are so brazen about espionage.

00:02:36.810 --> 00:02:38.730
The three-axis stabilization camera,

00:02:38.890 --> 00:02:40.210
where it kind of like, yeah, exactly.

00:02:40.810 --> 00:02:41.910
So you know what else wouldn't surprise me.

00:02:41.910 --> 00:02:42.590
Listening to our conversations.

00:02:42.870 --> 00:02:43.970
You know what else wouldn't surprise me

00:02:43.970 --> 00:02:47.770
is if they had some type of signal collector on them

00:02:47.770 --> 00:02:52.170
as well, so that if, as the vice president, Han Jung,

00:02:52.670 --> 00:02:54.050
if he was going around someone,

00:02:54.170 --> 00:02:55.750
if he had a signal collector on him,

00:02:56.010 --> 00:02:58.250
then what they could do is time the video up

00:02:58.250 --> 00:02:59.190
with the signal collector.

00:03:01.910 --> 00:03:06.070
Then boom if you had so did you have your cell phone on you? Yeah, was your cell phone on yeah

00:03:06.070 --> 00:03:06.930
Well there you go

00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:10.770
So then boom that that signal that number I'm changing my phone tonight

00:03:10.770 --> 00:03:16.750
That number pops up in the signal collector by the way and he can say oh this number must be associated with this person

00:03:16.750 --> 00:03:19.850
So here's the thing my phone has been like not that I would know anything about fire

00:03:19.850 --> 00:03:23.570
So I think this is why I think it's because they're dragging my phone

00:03:23.570 --> 00:03:27.330
Well, I'm telling you what might you and I'm not joking by the way that's like

00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.440
not even that's not even like that's like no levels by game so you so but

00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:36.000
anyway what I got found so amazing is that no one's told this guy to stop

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.880
until like 20 minutes in and he's using a little gimbal

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:43.380
scanning the whole audience like he's over the balcony imagine like

00:03:43.380 --> 00:03:46.360
you're sitting down here I'm over the balcony and by the way this is not

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:48.680
like a schlepping audience you had Scott Besson

00:03:48.860 --> 00:03:53.760
You had Mark Zuckerberg. You're the CEO of TikTok. You had Jeff Bezos. You had Sam Altman.

00:03:54.220 --> 00:03:56.440
Don't forget Jeff Bezos, a significant other. What?

00:03:57.220 --> 00:03:59.780
I said, don't forget Jeff Bezos, a significant other. I don't know.

00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.560
They were all in church, right? And her daughters.

00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:05.060
So they're all in church, and he is scanning every single one of them

00:04:05.060 --> 00:04:07.960
from the balcony doing signal collecting. God knows what.

00:04:08.020 --> 00:04:11.180
Yeah, because if the problem with the signal collector like that is when you go into a crowd,

00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:14.944
you're going to get all the signals, but they're not going to be associated with...

00:04:15.530 --> 00:04:21.330
Individuals and that's why you need to pair it with the video so you can determine. Okay, that we Charlie Kirk walks by and then boom

00:04:21.330 --> 00:04:24.950
We collected the signal then you have to remember and then boom we got the signal

00:04:24.950 --> 00:04:30.290
You have to remember this was happening while Joe Biden was still president and we should never forget this

00:04:30.290 --> 00:04:36.290
We should just never forget how Joe Biden was the worst freaking president ever. This is a true headline

00:04:36.290 --> 00:04:38.570
I'm reading it verbatim

00:04:38.570 --> 00:04:39.930
from Politico

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:46.640
This happened in 2022. DOJ shuts down China-focused anti-espionage program.

00:04:47.300 --> 00:04:53.240
The Chinese initiative is being cast aside largely because of perceptions

00:04:53.240 --> 00:05:00.000
that it unfairly painted U.S. residents of Chinese origin as disloyal.

00:05:00.340 --> 00:05:05.660
They stopped doing China counter espionage because they were worried it was racist,

00:05:09.420 --> 00:05:10.740
on people from china

00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.340
they hated america somebody at

00:05:15.340 --> 00:05:19.640
somebody at the pre-ceremony for the presidential inauguration hours for

00:05:19.640 --> 00:05:20.520
trump runs the government

00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:22.420
is brazingly

00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.900
spying on every incoming

00:05:24.900 --> 00:05:26.140
cabinet member

00:05:26.660 --> 00:05:29.700
and then finally about ten minutes in someone goes up to me and taps on the

00:05:29.700 --> 00:05:30.800
shoulder and says stop it

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:31.600
knock it off

00:05:33.060 --> 00:05:35.200
everyone in the white house staff to their credit was like

00:05:35.200 --> 00:05:37.140
what's going on up there like people are pointing

00:05:39.180 --> 00:05:46.160
Like this scanning conversations the whole thing and and and for all I know, you know, they've

00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:49.900
They've probably got AI loaded on there. They've probably got facial recognition

00:05:49.900 --> 00:05:54.320
They could have something where they could even have something where depending on the fidelity

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:59.340
I mean you talk about Han Jung this guy's the vice president of China. Oh funny enough. I actually met him

00:05:59.880 --> 00:06:04.048
like almost 20 years ago when he was the mayor of Shanghai and

00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:06.688
because he happened to be the mayor when I live there and

00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:08.320
the

00:06:09.760 --> 00:06:13.020
They could have they could have collections on there with high enough fidelity

00:06:13.020 --> 00:06:20.880
They were picking up every conversation in the room at the same time and then break using AI to isolate voices and break it out

00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:24.760
So that they could later go back and listen to every single individual private conversation

00:06:24.760 --> 00:06:27.880
Well, by the way, the most common camera right that with a gimbal

00:06:27.880 --> 00:06:32.080
I guess is what what it's called is DJ DJi DJi

00:06:32.400 --> 00:06:35.920
which is the Chinese Chinese yeah which by the way we were contracting

00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:39.300
at both federal and state governments like a lot of them

00:06:39.300 --> 00:06:43.060
and they i think during the first Trump administration they flagged it as like a

00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:46.160
potential spyware just do you believe all this that i'm saying jack this is very

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.180
believable to you right i i would be surprised if they weren't

00:06:49.180 --> 00:06:53.880
to be honest what what amazed me and it was such a microcosm of the failure of

00:06:53.880 --> 00:06:56.220
biden because that was biden's government trump had no power at that

00:06:56.220 --> 00:06:59.920
time is just like the indifference like no one who is

00:07:01.350 --> 00:07:03.070
Yeah, they're just...

00:07:03.070 --> 00:07:04.150
Meanwhile, Charlie Kirk's going like,

00:07:04.470 --> 00:07:04.930
Hey!

00:07:05.590 --> 00:07:07.910
Not only that, like, by the way, Sergio's turning around,

00:07:07.990 --> 00:07:08.970
he's like, what the hell's going on here?

00:07:09.210 --> 00:07:11.170
Everyone's like this and that and like pointing,

00:07:11.390 --> 00:07:12.850
like at least 10 people are noticing

00:07:13.430 --> 00:07:15.590
that the Chinese delegation is using

00:07:16.030 --> 00:07:18.830
some sort of Chinese listening device scanning.

00:07:19.150 --> 00:07:21.930
It wasn't just like, he was like over the balcony like this.

00:07:22.310 --> 00:07:22.510
Yeah.

00:07:23.030 --> 00:07:23.630
It wasn't being subtle.

00:07:24.030 --> 00:07:25.050
No, there was no subtlety.

00:07:25.350 --> 00:07:25.570
Yeah.

00:07:26.010 --> 00:07:29.070
So, that's my CCP story, and I met the JD Vance of China.

00:07:30.820 --> 00:07:33.520
Jady Vance of China. It's fair enough. It's a good description.

00:07:34.260 --> 00:07:36.760
Wait, how did I do in my picture? I think I passed the line test, right?

00:07:36.840 --> 00:07:39.360
No, it's hilarious, by the way. You're just, like, straight up.

00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:45.080
I can just imagine your thought process in that moment, like, don't be too friendly.

00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:50.080
Yeah, this guy, I mean, this guy, so to give you a little background on him,

00:07:50.340 --> 00:07:55.820
so having been the, um, the, the, he was the mayor of Shanghai when

00:07:56.380 --> 00:08:01.680
But the mayor in China is not the highest position in the city the highest province

00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:06.740
Well Shanghai is kind of province level correct, which is correct Beijing is similar

00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:07.520
so

00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:14.680
But that's not the highest ranking official in an area because whoever's highest ranking is always going to be your party secretary

00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:20.840
So the party secretary is always going to outrank whoever the official mayor is and the party secretary of Shanghai

00:08:20.840 --> 00:08:24.660
When this guy was the mayor was a guy by the name of Xi Jinping

00:08:25.250 --> 00:08:30.270
So this guy and Xi Jinping go back go way way way back

00:08:30.270 --> 00:08:36.670
He was instrumental in getting Xi Jinping picked to the Politburo all the way back in 2012 when he ascended up

00:08:36.670 --> 00:08:40.450
And and to the presidency quote-unquote chairmanship when he came up

00:08:40.450 --> 00:08:41.890
So he's been along with them

00:08:41.890 --> 00:08:49.690
This is this is one of his most trust even the fact that Trump chose to invite President Xi and then he sent his vice president was

00:08:50.010 --> 00:08:54.050
fairly remarkable and newsworthy it's not really done no it's it's not something that's really

00:08:54.050 --> 00:08:59.450
done uh foreign leaders don't don't i don't think i've ever come to a presidential inauguration

00:08:59.450 --> 00:09:04.330
before it's something and and it's funny too because uh trump clearly just it's just free money

00:09:04.330 --> 00:09:08.290
that's just sitting on the table and he just goes and picks it up because obviously in the back of

00:09:08.290 --> 00:09:12.690
his head he's remembering king charles's coronation ceremony which was you know only a couple like

00:09:16.280 --> 00:09:19.020
Why wouldn't they come to his inauguration ceremony? It just makes sense.

00:09:19.180 --> 00:09:26.680
Well, it's also, I think, an acknowledgement of the dynamic that has existed with China

00:09:26.680 --> 00:09:30.420
when Trump first started tariffing China in the first administration.

00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:35.840
They are the big geopolitical foe. And so it's a power move to say,

00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:38.860
hey, listen, I'm going to be really tough on you, but hey, we can get along.

00:09:39.130 --> 00:09:45.290
Yeah, it's actually funny cuz Trump is extremely popular within China. Oh, yeah, like the Chinese people love them

00:09:45.290 --> 00:09:48.930
They can't get enough of them. They just there's like if you go on

00:09:48.930 --> 00:09:53.170
The Chinese version of tick-tock you'll you'll find all sorts of people doing like

00:09:53.696 --> 00:09:58.510
Impersonations of Trump and using it in using like Trump impersonations in ads and they just they think he's great

00:09:58.510 --> 00:10:03.130
Well, I think Trump is experiencing a boon in popularity not only domestically but internationally

00:10:03.130 --> 00:10:08.050
I mean Rahim Qassam mutual friend says that in London now you'll see

00:10:08.280 --> 00:10:09.100
tons of MAGA ads.

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.760
The Wall Street Journal famous Raheem Kassam,

00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:14.600
by the way, you see that piece on his new club this morning?

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.560
I did, yeah.

00:10:15.580 --> 00:10:16.300
Have you guys been by yet?

00:10:16.760 --> 00:10:17.120
Butterworths?

00:10:17.300 --> 00:10:17.660
Butterworths.

00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:19.480
Yeah, I was there this week, yes.

00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:20.020
Yeah, yeah.

00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:20.800
It's a journey.

00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:22.840
I may or may not be there tomorrow, we'll see.

00:10:22.940 --> 00:10:23.540
You gotta go, man.

00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.360
Raheem's new club downtown.

00:10:26.140 --> 00:10:28.340
It's right on Capitol Hill, had huge profile

00:10:28.340 --> 00:10:29.720
in the Wall Street Journal this morning.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:31.860
Well, everybody, I will tell you one of the most common

00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:33.900
questions I've gotten from journalists is,

00:10:34.020 --> 00:10:34.880
where's the new haunt?

00:10:35.040 --> 00:10:35.600
Where's the new hang?

00:10:36.510 --> 00:10:38.550
In Trump 1.0, it was Trump.

00:10:38.710 --> 00:10:40.630
Waldorf has still had some people going there.

00:10:41.150 --> 00:10:43.070
But I don't really know the new play.

00:10:43.170 --> 00:10:43.870
It used to be Trump Hotel.

00:10:44.070 --> 00:10:45.950
That was like it's Butterworth's.

00:10:46.330 --> 00:10:47.030
Well, it depends.

00:10:47.290 --> 00:10:50.510
There's different clicks, right?

00:10:51.090 --> 00:10:52.190
I think that's certainly one of them.

00:10:52.670 --> 00:10:52.790
Anyways.

00:10:53.150 --> 00:10:53.590
All right, guys.

00:10:53.990 --> 00:10:56.070
Thank you for watching Thought Crime.

00:10:56.890 --> 00:10:57.770
God bless you guys.

00:10:58.170 --> 00:11:01.390
And make sure you stay free of CCP spying.
