H4: The host criticizes Chinese influence, House Democrats, and GOP leadership over national issues.

from The Tara Show

In this segment of The Tara Show, host Tara and co-host Lee Rogers cover three primary topics: foreign influence, congressional accountability, and party leadership disputes. First, the host highlights a recent report regarding a 200,000-account Chinese bot farm on X (formerly Twitter), arguing that foreign influence operations aim to manipulate public opinion against American technology infrastructure while China offers financial incentives to build similar facilities domestically. Second, the host focuses on testimony given before Congress by Marcus Coleman—whose daughter suffered severe injuries in a vehicle collision involving an undocumented driver—and criticizes Democratic lawmakers for allegedly dismissing victims of crimes involving non-citizens. Finally, the host returns to internal Republican politics, arguing that Senate GOP leadership's campaign spending decisions in races like Texas reflect a desire by establishment figures to maintain party control rather than support conservative candidates backed by grassroots voters.

Tara: Watching—I got to tell you, watching China manipulate a large swath of the American people is legitimately terrifying. Right-wingers, left-wingers, everyone in between. Convinced by China that in all cases AI centers, data centers, are bad. I'm not defending them—don't misunderstand—as Donald Trump screams into the wind begging people to understand, "We are going to lose the AI race to China, and you don't want to live in a world where China controls everything you see." They did it with bot farms. Elon Musk dismantled one massive bot farm—200,000 accounts on X. And I guarantee it's not the only one. Well, if bot farms are required to convince the American people of something—that something is bad, right?—and China's behind that, surely China thinks that thing is bad. No! While waging a propaganda war against data center construction in America aimed at low-information voters, get this: China is offering American companies attractive incentives to build their data centers there, in China! That's super-duper weird. If the data centers are that awful, why would they want them in China? They're offering—China says—$295 billion in direct public funding to help build your projects. 50% discounts on electricity bills if the data center uses Chinese chips. Yes, they can steal all your technology, everything you do, and it's going to be great! Local and provincial government cash grants and tax holidays. Boy, they love them data centers! They keep telling us we don't want them. Discounts of up to 80% on AI compute rentals in Shanghai! Ask yourself this: Do you—and I mean you, Americans, you radio listeners—do you want your data stored and processed in Shenzhen? Or Pittsburgh? That's the choice. "Well, you're just going to have to go ahead and install that Chinese chip. Oh, we're going to be picking up all your personal information, but hey! You get a 50% discount on that electricity! Go ahead and build in China." Well, I thought you guys built entire bot farms to tell us how we didn't want data centers? How bad they'd be for the community? How much energy they use? Which is it? So see, folks, you're seeing the back end of this. The goal was always to make it so impossible to build data centers in America that you'd have to build them in China. And guess what? De facto China controls AI. That's actually kind of brilliant. But what scares me, folks, is how easily they've managed to control this whole thing. Okay, coming up, Dr. Annie Andrews joins us in studio. Well, yesterday, a heartbroken father, yet another one, slamming Democrats in that hearing. Every time these poor families, these Angel Families, these families whose children have been hurt or killed by illegal immigrants who didn't have to be here, show up to testify at the Republicans' invite, they're made to feel like second-class citizens by the Democrats. This continues to happen. Can you imagine the level of sociopathy you'd have to have as a human being to look family members in the face and suggest that, "Well, you know, your—your loved one's life..."—who might be breathing through a tube and have very little mental activity, never be able to walk—"...but, you know, it's not really worth our time if it was an illegal immigrant who put her there." Well, that was the message again from Democrat Pramila Jayapal. Pramila Jayapal (recording): "Unfortunate, this hearing is—it's the fourth time in this committee that we've had a hearing on sanctuary cities, the fourth time. And, uh, there's many other things that we could be doing other than this..." Tara: Well, Marcus Coleman—whose daughter, Delilah, suffered a fractured skull, broken femur, and traumatic brain injury after an 18-wheeler tractor slammed into the vehicle she was traveling in in Southern California in 2024—wasn't having it. Authorities identified the driver as Pitrap Singh, an illegal alien from India who got a California commercial driver's license in violation of federal law. Sanctuary polici ...
