Her stomach often aches with hunger, 38 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: her small hands instead of holding crayons, now only the 39 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: struggle of survival on dusty streets. School is a distant dream, 40 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: medical care forgotten, hope. Lucy's is overshadowed, Her future is dim. 41 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: But what if someone stepped in. What if there was 42 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: a way to ignite hope for children just like Lucy. 43 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: Well there is, and that is with Compassion International Partners 44 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 2: and the local churches that provide children holistic support. 45 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: More than just food. 46 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 2: They receive critical medical care, life changing education, vital skills training, 47 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: and spiritual development, all in Jesus's name, And you can 48 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: empower a child just like Lucy to break free from poverty. 49 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: I want you to do what I've done and sponsor 50 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 2: a child today. You can visit Compassion dot com. That's 51 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: Compassion dot com. All right, So let's start with this 52 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: security you know event in Munich that they have, and 53 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 2: can you explain to people why this event is. Is 54 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 2: kind of like a resume thing if you're looking to 55 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: run for office, if you're trying to raise your stature, 56 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: you show up there in Munich. It's a kumbai ya event, 57 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 2: is how I describe it. But get people the background 58 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: and why everyone that's trying to be somebody wants to 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 2: be there. 60 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 4: In the political world, yeah, look, the Munich Security Conference 61 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: is held every year and it's in Munich, obviously, and 62 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 4: you get quite a few leaders from the United States 63 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: who go over. You get both Republicans and Democrats. I've 64 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 4: been to it numerous times. You get foreign heads of state, 65 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 4: you get secretaries of state, you get foreign ministers and 66 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 4: they're from all over. 67 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 3: A lot of Europeans go. 68 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 4: And people more broadly go, and it can be a 69 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: very productive time because when you go there are these 70 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 4: panel discussions and conferences, but you also do a whole 71 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 4: series of one on one meetings, and so you can 72 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 4: go to one place and meet with a half dozen 73 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 4: different heads of state. So it can be very efficient 74 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: in terms of having productive national security and foreign policy conversations. 75 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 4: Now two people who went, i believe for the first 76 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 4: time were AOC and Gretchen Whitmer. Now it is no 77 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 4: secret that both of them are looking quite seriously at 78 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: running for president as a Democrat, only because the Communist 79 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 4: Party is not having a contested primary, but but they're 80 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: thinking of running in. 81 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 3: Twenty twenty eight. 82 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 4: And if you run for president, you presumably should know 83 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 4: something about foreign policy. You should be able to say, 84 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 4: spin a globe and have some clue about some country 85 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 4: that is further out than Brooklyn. Well, AOC took a 86 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 4: hand at it. And by the way, she's, you know, 87 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 4: a young vocal socialist in America. She was going and 88 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 4: expecting just to be embraced in Europe. I mean, look young, 89 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: pretty socialists. That's kind of like European trade eat. 90 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: Right, yeah, this is like is she was saying, an 91 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: easy street, no no prep time needed, right. 92 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you know, in terms of being ready for 93 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: prime time. Listen to this exchange she had when asked 94 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 4: about one of the most pressing foreign policy questions across 95 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 4: the globe right now, would. 96 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 5: And should the US actually commit US troops to defend 97 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 5: Taiwan if China were to move. 98 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 6: You know, I think that this is such a you know, 99 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 6: I think that. 100 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 7: This is a. 101 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 6: This is of course, a very long standing policy of 102 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 6: the United States, and I think what we are hoping 103 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 6: for is that we want to make sure that we 104 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 6: never get to that point, and we want to make 105 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 6: sure that we are moving in all of our economic 106 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 6: research and our global positions to avoid any such confrontation 107 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 6: and for that question to even arise, all. 108 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: Right, Senator, Look, I've had the privilege of working on 109 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: quite a few campaigns and some presidential campaigns. This would 110 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 2: be one of the first questions. And you when you 111 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: do prep, whether it's to debate prep or a major 112 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,240 Speaker 2: get on stage event, we call it, you know, rolling 113 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: out the agenda of a candidate. How was she not 114 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: prepared to answer that question. And the scary part was 115 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: the whole room was like, she has no idea what 116 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: she's saying right now. 117 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, look, everyone knew that. You know, several things 118 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 4: come to mind. Number one, you know the popular gift 119 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 4: online of carry Eli was kind of kind of fluttering 120 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 4: his eyelashes. Yeah, that's what I immediately think of, like 121 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 4: looking at this, like. 122 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 3: Well, that's that's something. 123 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: That's something. Yeah. 124 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 4: I also am hearing in my head Kamala Harris going, wow, 125 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 4: that's a word salad. 126 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, I mean it's not it's not 127 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 2: even I mean, it was a It was a blunder 128 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: that I would argue would probably come up in a campaign, 129 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: right like, even if you try to fix this now 130 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 2: it's out there. How unprepared she is for national security issues. 131 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 2: And this would have been if you and I were 132 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 2: doing debate prepper or this prep for her in a meeting, 133 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: You're like, hey, what do you think you're gonna ask? 134 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: Immediately I would have said it Ran. 135 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 2: I would have said you in Russia, and you would 136 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: have said Taiwan in China, like those are the top 137 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 2: of the list. 138 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: Weren't even having to make a list Yeah. 139 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: Look, it's one of the things Democrats, and particularly those 140 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 4: on the far left, they're used to being in environments 141 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 4: where everyone agrees with them, where they're just kissing there behind. Oh, 142 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 4: you're so wonderful, you're so cool, you're so awesome, you're 143 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 4: so hip. Most Democrats they don't do hostile media interviews. 144 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 3: They won't go on Fox News. 145 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 4: They go on MSNBC or CNN or even the networks, 146 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 4: and they just just get slabbering praise and never get challenged. 147 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 4: So that was clearly a problem, and I got to say, Okay. 148 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: So Gretchen Whitmer, governor of Michigan, considered a serious presidential 149 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 4: contender by many observers, she had a similar problem. 150 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 3: Listen to Gretchen Whitmer getting asked a question. 151 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: On Ukraine, what does victory look like? 152 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 8: Ambasador? 153 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: Oh please, I'd love to hear your answer. 154 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 8: It is I the two, the two that I am 155 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 8: on the panel with, are much more steeped in foreign 156 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 8: policy than a governor is. But you know, I do 157 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 8: think that Ukraine's independence, keeping their their land mass and 158 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 8: having the support of all the allies, I think is 159 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 8: the goal from my vantage point. Go ahead, ambassador, do 160 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 8: better job. 161 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: You and I, by the way, know who the ambassadors 162 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 2: and she's looking at asking to bail him out, are 163 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: like begging for a conservative to bail her out. I 164 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: laughed because his response toor was exactly what I would 165 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 2: have done. 166 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: I think what you would have been. 167 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: You're like, no, no, no, please, I want to hear your answer, like, 168 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: by all means, ladies, first you go ahead, tell us 169 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: what you think here. 170 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 4: And the ambassador, Matt Whitaker, who's the US ambassador to NATO, 171 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 4: was Donald Trump's acting attorney general in the first term, 172 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 4: so he is close to the president. He is a conservative, 173 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 4: and the idea that she looks to him and is like, uh, 174 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,359 Speaker 4: can I call a friend? Did do I get a lifeline? 175 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah? 176 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 2: Do I get a lifeline to the hardcore conservant that 177 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,719 Speaker 2: works for Trump across me? And then she even Kummlanin's like, well, 178 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: they know more about this than a governor wouldn't know. 179 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 4: And by the way that they she's also talking about 180 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 4: AOC that after AOC is like, what is this Taiwan 181 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 4: thing of which you speak? 182 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 3: Yeah? 183 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, where's Taiwan? Yeah? 184 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 4: And then Gretchen Whitmer has asked, Okay, Ukraine, Ukraine? 185 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 3: What is I know? No Ukraine. I'm sorry who Ukraine? What? 186 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 1: What? 187 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: What's that? 188 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 2: It's a no Clinton joke. Right, I've never met her, 189 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 2: I don't know her. I know nothing about her. Right, Ukraine. 190 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 2: I don't have no idea. 191 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I'm waiting for them. You know, I 192 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 4: did not have relations with that country like like that. 193 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: That's exactly. 194 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 3: You know. 195 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 4: It's interesting that there was an article written on Fox 196 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 4: News Digital by David Marcus, who writes for them, that 197 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 4: I actually thought was a very interesting article. I retweeted 198 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 4: it this week. I read it, and I just thought 199 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 4: it was interesting. It was democrats Munich meltdown exposes left's 200 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 4: intellectual void. AOC's cringe inducing word salad on world stage 201 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: should embarrass old school liberals. I want to read a 202 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 4: little bit of it because I thought he made very 203 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 4: good points. When I was growing up in the nineteen eighties, 204 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 4: there was a galaxy of left wing, even socialist intellectual 205 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 4: stars such as Noam Chomsky, Michael Fukout, and Gorvidal, whose 206 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 4: works will were like an ink well that politicians and 207 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 4: commentators could draw from. Judging from the Munich Security Conference, 208 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: this weekend that ink Weell has run dry. Take this 209 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 4: gem of a comment on global order from AOC, queen 210 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 4: of the Democratic Socialists, quote, what we are seeking as 211 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 4: a return to a rules based order that eliminates the 212 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 4: hypocrisies around when too often in the West we look 213 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 4: the other way for inconvenient populations to act out these paradoxes. 214 00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 3: Huh. Allow me to translate this in English. I'm returning 215 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,439 Speaker 3: to de Marcus's. 216 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 4: Column quote, the West is bad and mistreats the marginalized 217 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 4: rest of the world. The use of twenty five cent 218 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 4: words and high falutine sentence structure cannot hide the banality 219 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: of what. 220 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 3: AOC is saying. 221 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 4: Not even the assuring allure of assonance would help, given 222 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 4: the asinine simplicity of her word salad. Not to be outdone, 223 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 4: Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, after apologizing for being less well 224 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 4: versed in foreign policy than AOC, offered this take on 225 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 4: the war in Ukraine. Ukraine's independence keeping their land masks, 226 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 4: I mean on the support of all allies, I think 227 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,680 Speaker 4: is the goal. From my vantage point, there is just 228 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 4: nothing here but empty words that paint a picture of 229 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 4: the facile progressive worldview completely divorced not only from reality 230 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: on the ground, but from any sound intellectual framework whatsoever. 231 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 4: The American right has a horror of intellectuals. From Christopher Ruffo, 232 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 4: who we've had on this show on Verdict, Yeah, Victor 233 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 4: Davis Hanson, who's a good friend, to Mark Dubobittz who's 234 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 4: another good friend, and on and on, who can be 235 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 4: referred to or drawn on in policy debates both foreign 236 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 4: and domestic. In fact, about a decade ago, we had 237 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: intellectual dark web phenomenon with figures like Jordan Peterson and 238 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 4: Barry Weiss who are broadly seen, if not as conservative, 239 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 4: as right leaning. Who are their counterparts on the far left? 240 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 4: Who is the contemporary socialist intellectual who AOC could have 241 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 4: referenced to support or claim that what is needed is 242 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 4: massive global redistribution of wealth. I would posit that outside 243 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 4: of the very narrow corridors of race and gender, such 244 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 4: far left public intellectuals no longer exist, and for two 245 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 4: very important reasons. The most obvious cause for the current 246 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 4: dearth of popular far left socialist intellectuals is the collapse 247 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 4: of the Soviet Union in the late nineteen eighties. At 248 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 4: least for the next two decades. The game was up, 249 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 4: the experiment had failed, and nobody wanted to be called 250 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 4: a socialist. The second reason is that what took the 251 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 4: place of outright socialism was the cultural Marxism, specifically in 252 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 4: the form of critical race theory. And essentially they've replaced 253 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 4: there foreign policy with just it's all about race and 254 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 4: gender and identity politics. And I got to say, this 255 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 4: is a dangerous world. By the way, Neither of those 256 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 4: questions are easy. Let's take Taiwan. Taiwan is China. Taiwan 257 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 4: is the single most likely place for a major powers 258 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 4: conflict on the face of the Earth. The biggest surprise 259 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 4: I have from Joe Biden's presidency is that China did 260 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 4: not invade Taiwan in the final year of Biden's presidency 261 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 4: because Biden would have done nothing. Biden would have been 262 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 4: utterly impotent, and I can only assume that she was 263 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 4: concerned about the prospects of success. He didn't want to fail, 264 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 4: and so he didn't make the move. I do not 265 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 4: believe China will make a move on Taiwan while Trump 266 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 4: is president, for the very simple reason that I think 267 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 4: she is afraid of Trump. 268 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: And Trump's been clear he is a response president, like 269 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 2: don't push me. Watch and there's multiple examples of that. 270 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 2: That's why his foreign policy is so effective. 271 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 4: And listen in terms of what the US military response 272 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 4: would be to an invasion of Taiwan, it has been 273 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 4: US policy for a long time to have some degree 274 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 4: of measured ambiguity. We will defend Taiwan, but we haven't 275 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 4: specified precisely how yep. Back in twenty nineteen, I traveled 276 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: to Asia, and I went went first to Pearl Harbor, 277 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 4: and then I went to Japan and Taiwan and Hong 278 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 4: Kong and India, And that was designed to be a 279 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 4: friends and ally too her all surrounding China and US 280 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 4: seeing with with with heads of state and and and 281 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 4: cabinet members. A question I posed I posed at the 282 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 4: time the Japanese Prime Minister uh Abe, who sadly is 283 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 4: no longer with us, but but I posed him. I said, 284 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 4: what would Japan do if China moved militarily on Taiwan 285 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 4: and made an amphibious landing? And I got to say 286 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 4: the blood drained from his face. He did not like that. 287 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 4: That that that that question. He did a lot better 288 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 4: than than AOC. It wasn't that he had nothing to say. 289 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 4: It's just that that their ability to repel that militarily, 290 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 4: I think is less than that than his ideal. The 291 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 4: single best way to deal with it is to deter 292 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 4: it in the first place, which AOC kind of stumbled 293 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 4: to at the end. But but look, in in national 294 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 4: security parlance, that the doctrine is called making Taiwan a porcupine, 295 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 4: making it so difficult to capture that you prevent China 296 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 4: from engaging because and I've been through and study the 297 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 4: war games where China moves on Taiwan, the US responds militarily. 298 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 4: There are lots of scenarios where that escalates into a really, 299 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 4: really ugly shooting war. And so no one in their 300 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 4: right mind wants to see that happen, which is part 301 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 4: of why the US makes clear, Look, if you move 302 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 4: on Taiwan, you could very well see a serious US 303 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,119 Speaker 4: military response. That's part of deterrence. Another part of deterrence 304 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 4: is providing Taiwan the weapons, the missiles and land mines 305 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 4: and everything that makes it difficult for an amphibious landing 306 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 4: to be quick and successful. Everything I just said, I 307 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 4: promise you AAOC has no idea about any of that. 308 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: I got to ask you a question, can you buy 309 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: roe bitcoin in your retirement account?

Marxist 557 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,360 Speaker 4: he was just a few years ahead of me At 558 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 4: Harvard Law. School we did not, overlap BUT i think 559 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 4: he is steeped in Cultural. Marxism, now when he was, 560 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 4: president he was not vocal about all of that because 561 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 4: the country at the time was not ready for. It 562 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:25,719 Speaker 4: BUT i THINK aoc is the spiritual grandchild Of Barack. 563 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 4: OBAMA i Think mandami is the spiritual grandchild Of Barack. 564 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 4: Obama and as you AND i have talked about on 565 00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 4: the pod, before during The biden, presidency maybe the most 566 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 4: frequent QUESTION i got asked is who is running?

PLAYED i Think Barack 574 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 4: obama was the grand puppet. Master he had a bunch 575 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 4: of young apparachicks who are Little marxists that were his 576 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 4: former staffers in The White.
