    STREAMING MAKING JBS, FEATURING THADDEUS MCCOTTER AND JAMES FANELL, 7-7-2026
    INDIA
    This transcript from The John Batchelor Show covers a wide range of topics, beginning with an analysis of China’s recent submarine-launched ballistic missile test in the Pacific. Military expert Captain James Fanell explains that this event signals China’s growing nuclear triad capabilities and serves as a strategic warning to the United States and its regional allies. The conversation then shifts to domestic political strategy, specifically focusing on how political parties manage candidates who face sudden scandals or controversies. Former Congressman Thaddius McCotter describes the process of "blowing up" problematic candidates, using examples from California and Maine to illustrate establishment power. The speakers examine the internal friction between traditional party leadership and insurgent movements like the Democratic Socialists of America or the MAGA wing of the GOP. Ultimately, the discussion highlights the calculated nature of political timing, particularly regarding filing deadlines and crisis management.
