1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,239 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump called on US military leaders to resume 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons testing to match programs in Russia and China. 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: He posted this before his meeting was jijingpink in South Korea. 4 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 2: Hey, we should all get along. By the way, we 5 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: need to test some nuclear weapons. That's a great strikeing. Yes, 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: So why did he do that? 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: Was that just I'm going to put this out here 8 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: before I meet with China as just a thread or 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: let him know where we stand. 10 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 2: Well, it's a flex, right, yeah, but is it a 11 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 2: smart flex? I mean, the American America made a decision 12 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 2: whatever it's been now fifty plus years ago with Nixon, 13 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 2: that we were going to engage the Chinese, and part 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: of us engaging the Chinese on a commercial level allowed 15 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: them to grow stronger. And let's face it, we engage 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 2: knowingly with China because we all, you know, we bitch 17 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: and we moan and we scream or the politicians do 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: about human rights violations China. Yet we keep buying stuff 19 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,199 Speaker 2: from China, and we chose to engage with China. Let's 20 00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 2: just be honest. It's just us, casey, nobody else is listening. 21 00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 2: We chose to engage with China because we know about 22 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 2: their human rights violations, and we know, we knew, we 23 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 2: know to this day that they are able to make 24 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: stuff that we can buy cheaper than if we made 25 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: it here because they play at best fast and loose 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: with how workers should be treated. And so there is 27 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: this like hipocrisy amongst these politicians who for decades and 28 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 2: I'm not lumping Trump into this because I think he 29 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: got has tried to get tough with China, but these 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,680 Speaker 2: these senators, these congressmen to some extent, these presidents who 31 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: who on one end criticized China's human rights but then 32 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: continue to engage in a commercial transactional type relationship that 33 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: allowed them to continue to operate in that in that. 34 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: Manner, right, and now he just made the huge soybean 35 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: deal with them. 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 2: Well we are at it's continuing. We are addicted to 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 2: cheap stuff in this country, and they're you know, I'm 38 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: not gonna get on some moral high horse and go 39 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: that's dead wrong, because I'm sure every day I buy 40 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 2: something that was made in China or in some way 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 2: engage in and I don't shop all that much, but 42 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: my wife might buy something, you know, right right, not 43 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: in anyway try and every other person does too when 44 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: you go to the Walmart. Now, if it's not China, 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 2: it's some other, you know country that probably has similar 46 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: human rights, you know, worker rights, worker regulations to China. 47 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna get on some moral high horse 48 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: and finger waggoning. Unlike the lady who didn't wear the 49 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 2: mask and her son's wedding and they told you what 50 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: to do, I'm not saying that. I'm saying that's the 51 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: conversation we have to have as a country to decide 52 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 2: what we're gonna do going forward. You can get tough 53 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: with China. You can punish China. You can force them 54 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: on some level to get better. It won't fix it 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 2: all the way, but you can on some level force 56 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 2: them to get better at worker rights and what they 57 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 2: pay people in the conditions they live. You're gonna pay 58 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 2: more for stuff if you wanted to be made in 59 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 2: this country, You're gonna pay more. Are you willing to 60 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 2: do that? And it's going to be a lot more. 61 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: I'm sitting here looking at you and I'm thinking, you 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: know what, you're probably wearing clothes that were made in China, 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: probably for your headphones that you're currently using. 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: Possibly that's why I don't get on a moral high 65 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: worse when it comes to China and say you must 66 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: da da da da da da da. I don't do that. 67 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 2: I say you can. I say I am willing to 68 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: pay more if we choose to do that. But you 69 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 2: also don't see me sitting here every day making it 70 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 2: issue number one, because I'm probably guilty of it, as 71 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: is every single other American. 72 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: In regards to the nuclear testing. The last time the 73 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: US conducted a nuclear test was September twenty third, nineteen 74 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: ninety two, at the Nevada Test site, and it was 75 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: called Divider. A moratorium was issued by George hw. Bush 76 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: after the Cold War, though
