Here’s Why Any Politician Who Promises to ‘Bring Back Jobs From China’ Is Lying

What’s going on? 

Foxconn, a major contractor for Apple that has an infamous history of reportedly overworking and abusing employees, is cutting 10,000 jobs to make way for automation.

Glenn’s take: 

A company that thinks little of their employees committing suicide is going the cheaper route by switching to robots. You should never believe politicians who vow to “bring back jobs” that were outsourced to China because those jobs are rapidly being overtaken by automation. They won’t exist anymore.

“When China is automating and getting rid of human laborers, something that is cheap and meaningless to them, you can guarantee that those kinds of jobs are not coming back to America,” Glenn said.

GLENN: Thank you so much for tuning in today. Did you see this, Stu?

You want to talk about, I'm going to bring these jobs back from China and why that's a lie. And anyone -- any politician, left or right, who says we're losing jobs to China, I want you to listen to this story.

Foxconn. You know what Foxconn is, right?

STU: Yeah, they're the big sort of manufacturer. A lot of I Phones. And, you know, they're famous for having tough conditions in China.

GLENN: Suicides.

STU: Yeah, suicides.

STU: Suicides in their factories.

GLENN: Their factories are like slave camps. Your i Phone, I think, it's being built by a slave.

And what they do is you get -- congratulations, you're out of the rice patty. You can come in and get a job at Foxconn. But you have to live where you work, in these horrible conditions. You eat where you work. You never leave.

People -- they've had to put fencing all around the -- the top of the roof because people keep throwing themselves off of the roof. I mean, it's horrible.

Foxconn is planning to slash more than 10,000 jobs, as a part of the company's aggressive efforts to increase the use of automation.

When China is automating and getting rid of human laborers, something that is cheap and meaningless to them, you can guarantee that those kinds of jobs are not coming back to America.

Expert Reveals the TERRIFYING Reality of Mexico Under Cartels

Is Mexico a “failed narco state” controlled by cartels? Glenn speaks with Brandon Darby, co-founder of Breitbart’s Border and Cartel Chronicles, who works with sources in Mexico to expose the truth on the ground. He tells Glenn just how bad the situation is, how entrenched the cartels are (they control over HALF of Mexico’s territory), and whether Trump has a chance of eliminating them. But instead of sending in special forces, Darby has another idea that could keep Mexico from looking like “a smaller version of Ukraine and Russia.”

Meet the ACTIVIST Judges Blocking Trump’s Agenda

There is a judicial coup happening against President Trump, Glenn argues. Glenn exposes the activist Obama and Biden-era judges who are conducting a full-scale, coordinated assault against the mandate that the American people gave Trump. There’s Judge James Boasberg, who tried to stop Trump from deporting illegal immigrant criminals. Then, there’s Judge Ana Reyes, who halted Trump’s trans ban in the military (and who also has a long history of donating to Democrats). Also fighting Trump are judges Theodore Chang and Amir Ali, who are trying to reverse Trump’s dismantling of USAID. This isn’t normal “checks and balances.” This is left-wing judges using lawfare to play president and fight the dismantling of the deep state.

EU Elites’ Shocking Plot to Sabotage Trump Exposed!

Are European Union elites working to “sabotage” President Trump’s plans for the West? Glenn speaks with Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts, who makes the case that Trump is trying to reset the West and stop the “managed decline” of the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset. But many European leaders are so embedded into that old system that they won’t go down without a fight. Glenn and Kevin also discuss Trump’s negotiations with Mexico and Canada, whether former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss was right to call Britain a “failed state,” and why Kevin believes Trump’s cabinet, JD Vance, and one other thing are Trump’s biggest wins.
