1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:02,640
Speaker 1: Well, I think one of the things that coronavirus has done,

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: just like bar the fact that our globalized economy is

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: an economy that really works for China first and foremost,

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: and not for the United States, certainly not for American workers.

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: Are supply chains where are they now in China? Our

6
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: medical devices where they made China? Are pharmaceuticals where they

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: made China? Are big tech companies who do they want

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: to do business with China? I think it's time that

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: we asked ourselves what kind of an economy have we

10
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: allowed to be created and what is it doing for

11
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: American workers? We need some structural reform at Senator Josh Holly,

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: This might be the biggest thing that comes out of

13
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: the coronavirus. On the other end is a different relationship

14
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: with China. We've been kind of ignoring the fact that

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: we use, we allow slave labor to bring us cheap

16
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: socks and that sort of thing for years. But so

17
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about that with Ian Bremer, President and founder

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 1: of Eurasia Group. It's always a pleasure Ian, how are you, sir?

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: Very well? But you know, I mean the Chinese are

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: too expensive to make our socks right now. That's largely

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Bangladesh excellent so but cheap consumer goods electronics in particular.

22
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: To fixate on socks at this moment I think would

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: be a mistake. The bigger pictures give you that. I mean,

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: why are you focusing on thought that was a for

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: instance and maybe it was a bad for instance in

26
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: generally and that so, hey, do you think this is

27
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: going to be an inflection point, as the kids say,

28
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: and and how big a one in terms of the

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: world and specifically the US is willingness to be in

30
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: bed economically with China? I do, because especially most people

31
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: are quarantining right now, which means they're not wearing shoes,

32
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: they're walking around their house in suck. So we're gonna

33
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: need We're gonna need a lot more. It's becoming a

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: nationally strategic important asset. And if all of them are

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: coming from China, clearly we're gonna need to stop that.

36
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna need to bring that production back to the

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: Unit States. Most of us didn't realize that so many

38
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: of our drugs remain in China, and then and then

39
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: the fact that they can lie to us and unleasha

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: virus like this on us, and all this stuff it's

41
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: just it seems to have changed our view. Is that

42
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: you think that's correct? Well, the fact is, guys, we

43
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: have a just in time supply chain. It is incredibly efficient,

44
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: It leads to a lot of growth, and we've all

45
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: our companies have made a lot of money, shareholders have

46
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: made a lot of money. What we don't have is

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: it just in case supply chain. If anything breaks, if

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: you suddenly have a major disruption, we're in a lot

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: of trouble. And a lot of that supply chain comes

50
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: out of China, whether it is electronics or major consumer durables,

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 1: or our medical supply chain, our health care, so much

52
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 1: of that is reliance on China. They don't have rule

53
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: of law. Um, they don't have an independent judiciary. Uh.

54
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: Their state has much more influence over their economy than

55
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: the private sector companies do. So it's hardly a free market.

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: It's state capitalists and uh and and our relationship with

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: them right now is not good and it's probably going

58
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: to get a lot worse. So, I mean, given all

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: of that, it's pretty clear that we're gonna need to

60
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: think very differently about our supply chain, and we're gonna

61
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: bring a lot more manufacturing closer to where we actually

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: consume those goods. But keep in mind that labor also

63
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: is less important to capital. We don't need. Not only

64
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: has Chinese labor gotten a lot more expensive, um, but

65
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: also with robotics and automation and big data and deep

66
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: learning and and uh you know, and and and and

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: new types of manufacturing processes, you just don't need anywhere

68
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: near the amount of labor to produce this stuff. So

69
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: a lot of operations had been thinking about changing their

70
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: supply chain for a long time, and they didn't because

71
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: they were making so much money. The CEOs didn't last

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: very long. It's like, let's have somebody else do that.

73
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Now that's going to happen. So the point that you

74
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: made before we talked about socks is that the most important,

75
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: the most important thing coming out of this crisis, that

76
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a very different relationship with China. I

77
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: think is absolutely case. The questions do we go so

78
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: far that it becomes a cold war? Um? And I

79
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: think it's plausible. And we also have to recognize China

80
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: is a lot more powerful today than they worked during

81
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: the SARS crisis or during two thousand eight, And there

82
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 1: are a lot of countries around the world right now

83
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: that see the way that Chinese have responded to this

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: coronavirus crisis or the China virus as Trump is saying,

85
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: and how they're willing to provide a lot of humanitarian

86
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: aid to the Europeans in the Middle Easterns and others.

87
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot more hedging of American allies

88
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 1: towards Beijing and away from Washington. And that matters too. Really,

89
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: that's an interesting twist. Did not see that? I mean,

90
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: think about after nine eleven when Alwa lead from Saudi

91
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: Arabia and the Saudia is approximately responsible for all of that.

92
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: That's where most of the bombers came from, offered money

93
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: to the New York to New York, so then Mayor

94
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: Giuliani told him to go scratch. When Jack Ma comes

95
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: to the United States and offers us five hundred thousand

96
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: masks and test kits that we can't produce ourselves right now,

97
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: first of all, it hurts your heart, But second of all,

98
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: it tells you just how how different this global environment is.

99
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: And we need to get our heads out of our

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: asses a bit. We need to stop with the American exceptionalism.

101
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: We have the best of everything, including health care. We don't,

102
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have to actually start making sure that

103
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: we do again. So A and Bremer, president founder of

104
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: Eurasia Group, is on the line. I watched the video.

105
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure you have two of the spokesperson for the

106
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: Chinese Bureau of Foreign Affairs in essence saying there will

107
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: be no decoupling. This is foolish, that you need to

108
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 1: stop slandering China, etcetera. How how concerned are the Chinese

109
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: about how this whole uh you know, the era has

110
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: has hurt their reputation. Um. I think they're much less

111
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: worried about how it's hurt their reputation. UM. You know,

112
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I remember during the earthquake in Indonesia, the big one

113
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: and the tsunami that came afterwards, wiping out all of

114
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: those towns. The Americans were boots on the ground in

115
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: Indonesia almost immediately, and I mean the massive grassroots support

116
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: for the United States that came out of that was extraordinary.

117
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: And the Japanese put a lot of money in real fast,

118
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: the government down the private sector, and the Chinese were

119
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: late and did almost nothing. I think they offered two

120
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: or four million dollars, like a couple of weeks after

121
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: the fact, and and it really I mean they were like, well,

122
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: we're poor, we can't do anything. But it really undermined

123
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: China as this you know, have all this economic influence,

124
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: all this trade, but really not not a properly functioning government.

125
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: This is a very different place. And so even though

126
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 1: the Chinese did cover up um this coronavirus, and while

127
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 1: they were covering it up, allowed over a million people

128
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: from Uhan to travel outside to China and other countries.

129
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: And that's why we suddenly this massive expansion, this explosion

130
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: of cases, not just across China, but also in Washington State,

131
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: in Iran and Italy. I mean, where did this come from.

132
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: It came from Wuhan. UM. But since then they cracked

133
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: down very severely. They've gotten out of the depths of

134
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: this um uh epidemiological crisis, even though their economy is

135
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: still very slow, very quickly. While the Europeans are the

136
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: epidemiological center of this breakout in the Americans are only

137
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks behind um and the Chinese, who

138
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: produced the vast majority of the world's medical supplies and

139
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: also have an awful lot of medical personnel are now

140
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: using that both in terms of selling it but also

141
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: providing it um for and there will be a bill

142
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: to be paid long term um to all these countries

143
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: around the world. It's it's very clear the Chinese feel

144
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: in a much stronger place. Where after the two thousand

145
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: and eight financial crisis, it was the Americans that we're

146
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: leading the charge. In the G twenty, we were the

147
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: ones doing the big stimulus, both for Wall Street and

148
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: for Detroit. We were the ones coordinating with other central

149
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: bank governors around the world. There's been no such coordination

150
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: this time around, and there doesn't seem to be any planned.

151
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: New York Times had this video they put together of

152
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: China's propaganda effort, both domestically there in China and for

153
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: the world. That was pretty impressive that I was looking

154
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: at something that they have these TV shows that look

155
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: like Ellen and Oprah, and they're spouting all this crap

156
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: about what a great job they did of handling it,

157
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: and isn't g amazing and all this sort of stuff.

158
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: They're really good at that sort of thing, aren't they. Yeah,

159
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: they really are. We used to be really good at

160
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: We had radio for Europe UM, and uh, you know,

161
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: we would really propound American values and it wasn't hard

162
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 1: to do because the United States was doing so well

163
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: and leading by example in so many ways. Um that

164
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: now today I would argue that the Chinese a lot

165
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: of it is propaganda, as the treatment of the average

166
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: Chinese citizen, of course, is nothing that anyone in the

167
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: United States or Europe or Canada would tolerate. But their

168
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: propaganda has gotten certainly, they're putting a lot more money

169
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: into it. The production values are very high, and they

170
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: also increasingly have some messages that they can actually sell

171
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: that that that resonates with others around the world. So

172
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, coming out of this crisis, the Chinese model

173
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: is going to look a lot more robust and no

174
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: one will be able to say it's the US leado

175
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: order anymore. I mean that that that will be formally gone. Interesting.

176
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: Ian Bremmer, President and founder of Eurasia Group, always enjoy

177
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: the Chattian. Thanks for a carveness out a couple of minutes.

178
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: Let's talk again soon. Good talking, guys. Thanks. You know,

179
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: the the the I'm up with America part of me,

180
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: which is a lot of me, It's like most of me,

181
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: it's practically all of me. Really hates hearing people saying that.

182
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: In my my reaction is always some people saying that

183
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. But if but if China makes most

184
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: the world's medical supplies, for instance, that means most of

185
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: the world is on the hook to the Chinese, that

186
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: means something right and they and they're they're the one

187
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: that get to yank the leash this way or that,

188
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: not us right the way it was for a very

189
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: long time with practically everything. Yeah, yeah, well, listen, there

190
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: are a couple of kinds of patriotism. There's the raw

191
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: raw all the time, dance and Uncle Sam outfit type

192
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: of patriotism, which is fine. It's it has its role.

193
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: But you know, I just I tend and people who

194
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: I talked to about the country tend to have more

195
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: of a I don't know, I maybe a good example

196
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: be like Bill Belichick, the head coach of the Patriots.

197
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 1: He loves the Patriots and the Patriots organization. Therefore, he

198
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: has utterly clear eyed about what it does well, what

199
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: it needs to work on, and what it's doing poorly.

200
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: And he's utterly clear headed about the Patriots opponents and

201
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 1: what they're going well, and how we need to counter them.

202
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: And and a lot of other countries are in our

203
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: opponents at all, not in a significant way. China is

204
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: an opponent absolutely, And so to say, wow, we've really

205
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: become dependent on China and we've lost our manufacturing capacity

206
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: and something like pharmaceuticals, which is critical to national security.

207
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: That's that's not a lack of patriotism, man, that's being honest.

208
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: It reminds me to keep the sports thing going of

209
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: when you've got like a team you're rooting for is

210
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: really good, and hey, and we might as well keep

211
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: on this metaphor because there ain't any real sports, right.

212
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: Go ahead. When a team is you know, like a

213
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 1: championship team or whatever, it happens with them all the

214
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: time and they kind of get in their head that

215
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: they're gonna win just because of your jersey, just because

216
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: the name on the jersey. You Yeah, we automatic we're

217
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: better than everybody else. Right, Well, sometimes you get exposed

218
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: as for having some problems. The good thing is sometimes

219
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: it's just you just need to be reminded because you

220
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: actually are better than everybody else. Yes we are that

221
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: we are actually the championship team. Just not playing like

222
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: it for a while, right, Not perfect, absolutely a great

223
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: deal to be proud of. And our system is better

224
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: than their system, right, oh yeah, and we just have

225
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: to make sure it stays that way. And so, you know,

226
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: it's a realistic person understands both are true. We are

227
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: the greatest country on earth with the greatest system and

228
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: the greatest constitution and the rest of it, and we

229
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: have stuff we need to work on. Don't believe the

230
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: crap coming out of the universities that America is the

231
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: most racist country on earth and that's based on slavery,

232
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: and know, please, that's garbage. But you know, be a realist.

233
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: So I've been complaining about you prepper weirdos. Somebody pointed out,

234
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: I've got my anger pointing in the wrong direction.
