My sincere thanks to @HouseForeignGOP for inviting me to address this topic of great policy and personal importance.
“In October of 2023, our family joined the growing circle of American families devastated by fentanyl.”
Listen to @Heritage’s @SteveYates share his personal story of how the fentanyl crisis, fueled by China, ended up costing his own daughter’s life:

.@codepink filed an ethics complaint against me for calling them shills for the CCP.
Now look at them… literally shilling for the CCP!
Just another weekday morning at Fuxing Park in Shanghai!
Children singing, retirees dancing and exercising, live music, and people simply enjoying life together. A beautiful glimpse of everyday life in China.
While Washington keeps portraying China as a threat, moments like these remind us of something simple: people everywhere want the same thing: a peaceful life, strong communities, and a future for their families.
China is not our enemy!

CHAOS INC. — Communists and Islamists unite to torch Europe and the USA. In my newest @FoxNews Digital investigation, I name names.
Expect more names. I like this model: moving names from my database to your consciousness. The US, India, the UK. Where do you wonder about?
54 organizations. Only 16 are student or youth groups. So who's really driving the unrest in France?
A Fox News Digital investigation identifies a sprawling network of communist organizations, socialist political movements, labor unions and international activists helping organize, support and amplify protests that began over school conditions.
The demonstrations have grown into a nationwide confrontation, with riots, looting and attacks on public buildings. Now, an international coalition is mobilizing young people for another wave of protests across Europe.
And the connections extend well beyond France. See who's involved and how the network operates: foxnews.com/world/whos-who-i…

OK done! I have a spreadsheet done with 54 groups coordinating, supporting, financing and amplifying the mayhem in France. Our Who’s Who to Chaos Inc. in France will be up in the morn:
🔴🟢 4 AM ET on FoxNews.com
🔴🟢 6:30 AM I’ll discuss @foxandfriends
See you then!
🎯 I’m working overnight to update our @FoxNews Digital story on the transnational network behind the chaos in France. You must understand the red-green alliance fueling the protests and fires in France, because then you will understand the network’s reach inside your country and your community.

Always great to join @MBCompanyMan for his PDB Situation Report. Jump in around the 30-min mark for our conversation about China, Taiwan, and all things national security. Might be a few jokes along the way too. Never know with these guys…

We are lucky to have @PalmerLuckey doing what has been so sorely needed for far too long.
Replying to @carlworker
No, you are just sore about looking stupid.
I have manufactured billions of dollars of hardware in China and have access to the relevant briefs, sino-sucker.
From France, a warning, with love.
To every American, and to everyone watching France burn from abroad:
Do not blame the French people for this.
We never asked for it. We never voted for it. And the one time we were clearly asked, we said no.
Here are the numbers your media won't show you.
70% of the French say there are too many immigrants in France today.
79% want a tougher immigration policy.
77% disapprove of the government's record on immigration.
83% want foreign criminals and long-term unemployed foreigners sent home.
And no, it's not just the old. 69% of French 18 to 24 year olds support suspending legal immigration for three years.
This is not a fringe. This is the French people.
In 2005, we were asked if we wanted the European Constitution. 55% voted no. Three years later, our politicians passed the same text under another name, through parliament, without ever asking us again.
That is modern France in one sentence. The people say no. The elites do it anyway.
So who is responsible? The politicians who lied to us. A class of leaders formed in the same schools, the same forums, the same networks, loyal to each other before they are loyal to their nations.
In 2017, at Harvard, Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum, bragged about his Young Global Leaders program in four words: "We penetrate the cabinets." He added that it was true in France. Emmanuel Macron was one of his Young Global Leaders.
It's the same project in Brussels with Ursula von der Leyen and in Paris with Macron. Borders treated as an obstacle. Nations treated as relics. The people treated as a problem to be managed.
What you are watching in France is not the French people failing. It is the end of the globalist project, an abject, quasi-communist dream of a world run by unelected planners. It is collapsing everywhere in Europe at once, and the West has to cut this cancer out before it takes the rest of the body with it.
The peoples of Europe don't want this. They never did.
So when you see our town halls burning, don't say "the French chose this."
The French never chose this.
They were forced into it.
If you're French and you agree, repost this so the world hears it from us.
If you're American, look at us carefully. Then choose differently on November 3rd.

Check out the latest Nation States Update! New episodes Tuesday and Thursday.
The world isn't getting any safer, and the stakes for America couldn't be higher.
President Trump faces tough decisions on Russia and Ukraine. Rising diesel costs are squeezing American families. And Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia threaten to ignite even greater instability across the Middle East.
These aren't isolated crises. They're interconnected challenges with real consequences for American security, prosperity, and leadership.
In my latest Nation States with Yatesupdate, I break down the global flashpoints Washington cannot afford to ignore—and preview what's next, including a deep dive into the Houthis and a special series on America's devastating fentanyl crisis.
The world doesn't stop turning, and neither can America.

El-Sayed's sister-in-law was reportedly put on the terror watch list during the Obama administration. Now Obama is going to be campaigning with El-Sayed. We are forgetting what evil people look like.

🚨🚨BIG NEWS DAY — @RCPolitics EXCLUSIVE: DEPUTY DIRECTOR OUT AT SECRET SERVICE amid questions about his conflicts of interest over the agency's counter-drone technology.
Deputy Director Matt Quinn served 23 years as a Secret Service agent before retiring in 2021. He then went to work at drone-manufacturer Fortem Technologies, which sells the DroneHunter product, as a senior vice president for three years before returning to the agency last year to serve as deputy director.
As @RCPolitics first reported, Quinn was criticized by several current and former Secret Service agents for admitting during a mostly softball Sunday CBS 60 Minutes interview that the Secret Service was not prepared for an attack by a drone swarm.
The piece featured a DroneHunter demonstration without mentioning several technical problems the platform has experienced.
RealClearPolitics over the last 48 hours submitted detailed questions to the Secret Service about some of the statements made during the 60 Minutes interview about the drone technology, its effectiveness, and the agency's track record in taking out drones.
The 60 Minutes report did not mention Quinn’s prior work for Fortem.
The Secret Service did not respond to RCP's questions. Quinn last day will be Nov. 7, sources tell RCP.
FULL, DETAILED @RCPolitics story to come...stay tuned.

Standing on Philippine soil and boasting China could "easily win" a war isn't diplomacy—it's pure, unchecked Wolf Warrior diplomacy run amok. Ambassador Jing Quan isn't acting like a guest in Manila; he’s acting like a mob boss issuing a shakedown. Extortion is not peace.

Palmer Luckey says it’s not too late to deter China from invading Taiwan: “Our goal is not to beat China in a fight. It’s to deter them from invading in the first place.” 🇺🇸🇹🇼🇨🇳
“I really do happen to believe that it’s not too late. Our goal is not to beat China in a fight, necessarily. It’s to deter them from invading in the first place.
You can make them think that day one of the invasion is going to be too painful. You can make them think that day 100, the economic impact on global trade is going to be too painful.
You can make them believe that on day 1,000, they’re still going to be fighting against an anti-Chinese insurgency in Taiwan, armed by the United States covertly, that makes Afghanistan look like a cakewalk.
You want all of these things rumbling around in their heads as they consider whether or not to launch that invasion. I think there’s still room to change their minds.”
The ability to deter is almost as imperative as the ability to defend. To dis incentivize China to invade Taiwan, we must spend now.

Chinese companies are supplying the chemicals used to make fentanyl that ends up on American streets, & Beijing continues to turn a blind eye.
As Chair of the East Asia & Pacific Subcommittee, I have fought to reauthorize fentanyl sanctions, hold the CCP accountable, & cut off this deadly supply chain at the source.💊
