Have you ever dated somebody just absolutely 25 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: smoking hot, gorgeous and you're thinking, man, this is this 26 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: is awesome. She's just gorgeous, and then you been on 27 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: a couple of dates and it turns out she's into cocaine. 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: And then you go on another couple dates and you 29 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: find out she's got an ex boyfriend who's about to 30 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: get out of prison, and you can't seem to shake 31 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: her after a while, and then soon you find out 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: she's pouring rat poison into your coffee every single morning. 33 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: That's China. That's been us in China, And it's important 34 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: that we understand that so much of this is our fault, 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: is our poor decision making, and it is time and 36 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: I'm grateful President Trump realizes this. It is time to 37 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: pull us out of that relationship. We have gotten ourselves 38 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: ingrained with China, and China hates our guts. They're pouring 39 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: rat poison in our coffee every single morning. They are 40 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: plotting on us. They are damaged, they are evil, they 41 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: are bad for us. In every possible way. Obviously, I'm 42 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: not talking about the one billion plus Chinese people. I 43 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 1: am talking about the communist government of China. They are 44 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: our enemies. And it's really funny when I say we're ingrained. 45 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: When I was talking about the relationship thing, we are 46 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: in a relationship with them, We get that, right. How 47 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: odd this entire situation is that they openly write papers 48 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: talking about how their plan is to take over the 49 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: world by twenty fifty. That's right. China is open about this. 50 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: They're open about the fact they consider us their enemies. 51 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: They don't even really hide the fact or apologize. When 52 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: we catch spies Chinese spies in our country, way high 53 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: up in our government, They're all like, oh, yeah, we're enemies. 54 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: What do you think we were doing? That's China. And 55 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 1: yet we do business with them all the time. We 56 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: have American corporations flat out setting their factories over there. 57 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: We buy up all these chief Chinese goods. China, in turn, 58 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: is buying up all of our debt. They own a 59 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: trillion dollars of our debt. Not that that's even a 60 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: lot anymore compared to how much we've piled up. It 61 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: is the most bizarre relationship. I've ever seen both parties 62 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: hate each other. It's terrible for both sides. Neither party 63 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: has anything in common, and yet they can't seem to 64 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 1: break up. Why because she's so high and because those 65 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: Chinese goods are so cheap. And that's a hard conversation 66 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna have to have. What are we going to 67 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: choose going forward? As American people explain to me, there's 68 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: no easy solution. By the way, we're gonna talk about 69 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: our problems. We're gonna talk about some solutions. We have 70 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: some great guests for you, But what's the solution. Let's 71 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: say you say to me, Jesse, right now, we need 72 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: to stop buying cheap Chinese goods, and I would say, yes, 73 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: I agree totally. We do need to stop buying cheap 74 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: Chinese goods and replace them with what is it? Go 75 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: one wants to have that conversation. We do have to 76 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: replace them with something I don't want. They're cheap toilet 77 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: paper anymore? Okay, fine, what are you wiping your ear 78 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: in with? It's a hard conversation to have. Are we 79 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: going to force those companies to move back to America? 80 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: Are you comfortable with that? Should you be comfortable with that. 81 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. These are questions we're gonna have to answer. 82 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 1: Are you comfortable with the limited federal government pointing at 83 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: a company and saying, Hey, Jesse's toilet paper company, I'm here. 84 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: You are moving your factory back to America? Well, okay, 85 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: let's say you are comfortable with that. Let's say you say, well, 86 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: where it's a natural security situation, Jesse has to move 87 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: his toilet paper out of there. Okay, fine, well, I 88 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: can't have slaves here. By the grace of God, we 89 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: don't do that anymore here in the United States of America. 90 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: China does we do not. I have to pay my workers. 91 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: I have to pay them an actual wage here. So 92 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: that toilet paper from Jesse's toilet paper that you've enjoyed, 93 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: that was made in China all these years, well that 94 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: cost is about the double. Are you okay with that? 95 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: You're going to have to wrap your mind around certain 96 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: things when it comes to fighting this war with China. 97 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: We are in a relationship. Yeah, she's really hot, but 98 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: she really does do cocaine, and this is a problem. 99 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: We need to find a way to break up. And 100 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: this was all before we have this situation that we 101 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: have and how much worse could that possibly get? Look 102 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: at what they've done to us and rest assured. I've 103 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: been open about the fact I think our response to 104 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. But that's not the point of tonight's show. 105 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: The point of the show is this is a Chinese problem. 106 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: This came from China, and China is one thousand percent 107 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: at fault here. This virus didn't originate in Mexico. I 108 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: didn't originate in Nebraska. This came from China. Once China 109 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 1: had it, knew they had it, they lied about it, 110 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: They lied to the world about it. Then they began 111 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: hoarding supplies. Now we're hearing these horrific rumors about them 112 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: chucking living people in body body bags into incinerators and 113 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: then telling the world that they don't have any deaths. 114 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: It's not just they lied and covered it up. It's 115 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: that they're still lying and covering it up. And then 116 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: it came here and now we have twenty three thousand 117 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: by current count americ Instead. Oh, I didn't even mention 118 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: the jobs. Twenty million Americans as we speak unemployed. That 119 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 1: numbers heading to thirty forty million by the end of 120 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: the month. We have to do something. We have to 121 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: break up. I don't care how good she looks. That's hard. 122 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 1: I have to find somebody else to date. Here's Mike Pompeo. 123 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: There was a lot of discussion today amongst the G 124 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: seven about the intentional disinformation campaign that China has been 125 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 1: and continues to be engaged in. You see it, You 126 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: see it in social media, you see it in remarks 127 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: from a senior people inside the Chinese Communist already talking 128 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: about whether this was a US the US brought to China. 129 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean, this is crazy talking. It is crazy talk, 130 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: and yet they do it, and yet they get away 131 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: with it, and they're doing it while we're still in 132 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: a relationship with them. Isn't that insane? Isn't that nuts? 133 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: Here's them blaming it on US troops. As you know, 134 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,119 Speaker 1: China tried to say at one point, maybe there's stuff 135 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: now that it was caused by American soldiers. That can't happen. 136 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen, not as long as I'm president. 137 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: It comes from China. Again, that's strange. But both what 138 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: Pompeo said and what Trump said are totally true. And 139 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,559 Speaker 1: China doesn't hide these things. China knows what it did. 140 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 1: Doesn't that strike you as being bold and just flat 141 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: out ridiculous. The world knows this came from China. This 142 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: is not a mystery, This is not an American thing. 143 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,559 Speaker 1: It's not a propaganda campaign. But China, they carry around 144 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: a big stick and they're not afraid to swing that 145 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: big stick, and they've proven that time and time and 146 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: time again. China will blatantly lie and point to us 147 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: and say the Americans did it, and everybody knows that's 148 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: a lie. But it shows to you how hostile they 149 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 1: are to us, how hostile they've been, not just throughout 150 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: this crisis, but forever. This is just the latest example 151 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: of what China has done and what China will do. 152 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: And to what Pompeo said before about them going on 153 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: social media, understand this, China does not view this war 154 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: in the same way that you and I view war. 155 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: You know, what do we think? We think about the 156 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: movies right as explosions of bomb's bullets and I'm gonna 157 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: save here, there's inspirational music. China doesn't view it that way. 158 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: China used this entire thing as a stealth war. China 159 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: has spies here, lots of them. China is in our boardrooms, 160 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: China in our government? Is that a radical thing to 161 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: say that China's in our government? We have Diane Feinstein 162 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: had a China spy as her driver for years years? 163 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: Is it outrageous to make an accusation that China in 164 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 1: our media. I certainly would not want to name names 165 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: or anything like that. But right about the time that 166 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 1: China was insisting, insisting that only certain things we talked 167 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: about in relation to this virus, the American media was 168 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: echoing those same sentiments. Right about the time that China 169 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,719 Speaker 1: told everybody that they had zero deaths from coronavirus that day, 170 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: something that nobody on Earth believes. Nobody. NBC News repeated 171 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: that without hesitation, as if it was a fact. We 172 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: have an issue. We have a Chinese issue, and we 173 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: need to start addressing that Chinese issue. And if you 174 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,839 Speaker 1: thought all this was bad, wait till you hear this 175 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: brigadier general we're bringing on later to talk about the 176 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: military capability. We don't like to talk about that, right because, look, 177 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: nobody wants a hot war with China. I don't think 178 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a hot war with China. I'm not 179 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: trying to be too extreme on it. But they are 180 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: our enemy on the world stage, and wars do happen. 181 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: What if we got an a war with China, how 182 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: would that go? Are you confident? You know? Hang on 183 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: for that one. Here's Kevin McCarthy. Nobody had an idea 184 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 1: by how deadly this was. And mainly what I'd say 185 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: why China was not forthcoming at China allowed our scientists, 186 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: our researchers, and our doctors in at the very beginning. 187 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: We maybe could have contained it just in China where 188 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: the rest of the world would not have the punishment 189 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: going before them. You look what we were able to 190 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: do with Ebola, contain it just in Africa. And he's right, 191 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: I Bula breaks out in Africa. Africa didn't try to 192 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: cover things up. They didn't try to just chuck people 193 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: in body bags in an incinerator. They immediately said, ah, help, 194 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: we got a problem here. Help. And you know what's 195 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: amazing about China, what's extra gusting about them is their 196 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: own people were dying, not scumbag communists, their own just 197 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: regular people like you and I. Granted they eat bats, 198 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: but that's different. Regular people like you and I are dying, 199 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: and China hit it. And if they had asked for help, 200 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: even us, their enemies, if they had said, whoa, hey, 201 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: we have a disease breaking out here, would you guys, America, 202 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: would you guys mind helping everybody? And their brother knows 203 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: we would have helped. We would have gladly helped. We 204 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: would have poured manpower and resources into China to help 205 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: it can get contained there. But they didn't because they're scum. 206 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: Oh reporters, they're all over this now though. Why are 207 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: there her consequences for China for the misinformation? Why would 208 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:05,839 Speaker 1: I tell you we're concerned? Why are there no consequences? 209 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: Why are now you're going to find out? I wouldn't 210 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: you tell you you'd probably be the last person on earth. 211 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: I'd tell that's so good, and you know what she 212 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,599 Speaker 1: deserved that this is a China special. So I'm not 213 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: going to go off on a media tangent. All I 214 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: want to say is to all of my members of 215 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: the American press who watched this show, it would help 216 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: each and every one of you if every single day 217 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 1: you woke up and you looked at a piece of 218 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: paper that said it's not about me, and then you 219 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: set it down and left, because that's the real problem there. 220 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: What was that lady doing. She was not trying to 221 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: get information on behalf of the American people. She was 222 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: trying to grandstand. She was trying to become a media 223 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,959 Speaker 1: star for a day so she could walk back in 224 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: the boardroom and all, good job, Oh, proud of you. 225 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: Oh you really got him there. Except it's not about you, 226 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: It's about people. Oh you want to hear what China 227 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: has to say. Here's what China has to say. This 228 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: is their Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua chun Ying. I'm almost 229 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: positive I screwed that up. I'm an American quote. We'd 230 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 1: like to provide support and help to them as our 231 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: capacity allows. However, these comments by those US politicians are 232 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: just shameless and morally repulsive, and these slanders, smears and 233 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: blame games cannot make up for the lost time, but 234 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: will only cost more lost time and lives. They're not 235 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: backing off, they're not backing away. They're not just about 236 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: to say they're sorry. They're going to try to use 237 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:47,359 Speaker 1: this because that's what they do. Remember, you can acknowledge 238 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: or you can ignore that we're in a war with China. 239 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: China openly acknowledges it. You can be naive or you 240 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: can embrace it. Look at what they've done. We got 241 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: Gordon Chang coming up next. I don't know if anybody 242 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: knows better what goes on inside of China and the 243 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 1: things China is trying to do than Gordon Chang. So 244 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: hang on for that. But now all of that that 245 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: I just broke down for you. I know what you're thinking, Jessee. 246 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: I'm stressed out. I gotta go to bed, and you 247 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: have to work tomorrow.

And what happens you lay down at night 255 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: in your mind starts going ten miles a minute, and 256 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: you need Do you need help?

We 272 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 1: obviously have ourselves quite a pickle on our hands. Here. 273 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: We have China, who is very much at fault in 274 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 1: this whole thing. We have a virus, intentionally or otherwise, 275 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: that has come to our shores. It's killing people, it's 276 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,159 Speaker 1: costing us trillions. And yet if we could snap our 277 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 1: fingers and make it disappear tomorrow, we still have plenty 278 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: of Chinese aggression plenty of Chinese aggression in our midst 279 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: How do we get them out? I think the first 280 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: thing we do is get our factories out of China, 281 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: because once we remove the financial incentives, a lot of 282 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: elements in American society will not support Chinese communism. And 283 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 1: it was really interesting that last Friday Larry Cudlow, President 284 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: Trump's senior economic advisor, actually said publicly, well, maybe the 285 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: United States should pay one hundred percent of the relocation 286 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: costs for American factories and facilities to get them off 287 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 1: of Chinese soil. That really was stunning. This was not 288 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: from Peter Navarro. This was from Larry Cudlow, in other words, 289 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: or Wall Street Cutlow. Do we have any idea of 290 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 1: one what that would cost? And two how beneficial would 291 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,880 Speaker 1: it even be? I mean, I can tell a business 292 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: all day long to pack up their shop in China 293 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: and open up a shop in Sheboygan, but that doesn't 294 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: do any good if my labor costs there's still ten 295 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: times as high here as they are in China. Correct. Correct, 296 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 1: The stock of US investment in China is probably somewhere 297 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: these days around two hundred and seventy five maybe three 298 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars, but that would not be the cost 299 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,640 Speaker 1: of relocation. When Cutlow talked about this, he didn't say 300 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: necessarily say relocation back to Sheboygan. This could be relocation 301 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 1: to the soil of our friends instead of the soil 302 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: of an enemy. There are a number of issues involved here, 303 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: but President Trump could actually order this, or he could 304 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,439 Speaker 1: issue orders that would force effectively companies to leave China, 305 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: and could do that, for instance, under the Training with 306 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 1: the Enemy Act of nineteen seventeen or the International Emergency 307 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: Economic Powers Act of nineteen seventy seven. So President Trump 308 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 1: pretty much can just do this and factories would have 309 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: to leave China. Gordon what if President Trump chooses to 310 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 1: go this route and chooses to be super aggressive with China, 311 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: which I love, but I also want to know what's 312 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: coming on the back end of that. I know China 313 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: owns a trillion dollars of our debt. I know there 314 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: are several areas in which we are weaved together with them. Sadly, 315 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: what is China's move if we were to do something 316 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: that drastic to them? What is a step do you 317 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,199 Speaker 1: think they would take or might take. I think the 318 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:49,880 Speaker 1: biggest vulnerability we have would be China's making of pharmaceuticals 319 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: and active pharmaceutical ingredients, and that is going to be 320 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: something that we need to get off Chinese soil. But 321 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: until we actually succeeded doing that, China has leverage over us. 322 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: But when it comes to other things like China's holding 323 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: of treasury obligations, that confers actually, I think no leverage 324 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,880 Speaker 1: at all, because you got to think about the way 325 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 1: the global financial markets operate. They can't dump it. As 326 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: a practical matter a matter of fact. For them, it 327 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: is a real advantage to be able to hold treasuries. 328 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: I mean, why would they want to be in syncing 329 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,679 Speaker 1: currencies for instance. So when you look at all of 330 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 1: the relationships, we basically have got most of the leverage. Okay, 331 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: so we have that leverage. Why has no president, you know, 332 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 1: before Donald Trump use that leverage. And I'm actually not 333 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: asking to blast away as much as I can stand, 334 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: and I'm not asking a blast away at Obama or 335 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: anyone else. I'm assuming a lot of this happened relatively 336 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: unwittingly or maybe even just naively. How did we get 337 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: so ingrained with somebody who quite openly hates us? Well, 338 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: I think it's because after the end of the Cold War, 339 00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: we felt that we could integrate China into the international system. 340 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 1: And this is a thought that goes back to Richard 341 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 1: Dixon in that famous Foreign Affairs article where he says 342 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: that we cannot afford to let China remain outside of 343 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: that international system. So we've ignored a lot of bad conduct. 344 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: You know, we tried to pay China into a global 345 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: system where they would enmesh themselves and treat these laws 346 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 1: and rules. But what we have found out, Jesse, is 347 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,919 Speaker 1: that there has been China's grown going in the wrong direction, 348 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: has become more hostile, more belligerent, more provocative as it 349 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: becomes stronger. So obviously at this point we don't really 350 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 1: have very much of a choice. I recognize this is 351 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: not a partisan issue. Republicans as well as Democrats, liberals, 352 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 1: and conservatives are equally guilty of all of this. But 353 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: right now, where is a situation where we don't have 354 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 1: really much of an opportunity to stay with China because 355 00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 1: China is driving us away. What is the North Reas 356 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 1: relationship with China? Because I get conflicting information about this 357 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: all the time. I get that they're totally separate. I 358 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: get that they are one percent under the Chinese thumb, 359 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 1: that Kim jong un basically does as he's told. What 360 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: is the real reality of that relationship. It's a complex relationship, 361 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 1: but the reality is that when China wants something, China 362 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,720 Speaker 1: gets something. The Chinese realized they've got power over the 363 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: North Koreans, but they also realize that they don't have 364 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: to use it all the time. So oftentimes they allowed 365 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: the North Koreans to do things which slightly undermined Beijing's interests. 366 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: But when Beijing really puts a really puts pressure on 367 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: the Kim family, Kim family gives up. We saw that 368 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 1: Kim jongun went to Chinese soil four straight times before 369 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: Sijun Ping returned the trip to Piongyang. That's a real 370 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: indication of who controls whom. And by the way, China 371 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: really likes what North Korean does most of the time, 372 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: even though it looks belligerent, because that keeps us off balance. 373 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: We send our Secretary of States to Beijing and to 374 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: plead for China's cooperation. Beijing sort of likes this dynamic. 375 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 1: So that's why basically it's continued decade in decade out. Obviously, 376 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: I love America. I prefer to operate under the assumption 377 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: that we do things better than everyone else, even though 378 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: that's really naive. Sometimes the truth is we don't. Is 379 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: China the only one playing offense here? Because I mean, 380 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: with some of this stuff you've laid out for us, 381 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: and you've laid it out for us on the show 382 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: in the past, it really sounds like China is the 383 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 1: one holding the puppet strings and we're the one dancing. 384 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 1: Are they doing any dancing, Well, they haven't been done 385 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: dancing because we haven't made them dance. You know, There's 386 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: been a succession of American leaders who, for various reasons, 387 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,160 Speaker 1: felt China had more power over us than the other 388 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 1: way around, or they felt indulgent, or they were just 389 00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: bowing to elements in the US that we're benefiting from 390 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: the relationship with China. So there are a lot of reasons. 391 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: But the thing that's really bothering is that, at least 392 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: bothering to me is that you've had a lot of 393 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: elites in the US feel closer to elites in China 394 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 1: than they did with their fellow Americans. That I think 395 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 1: is going to end because we're seeing Beijing do things 396 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: which are just so inimical, so detrimental to the United 397 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: States and the international system that even friendly Americans I 398 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: think are going to have trouble maintaining those old contacts. Gordon, 399 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm worried about Google and other countries other companies like that. 400 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: They don't have some gigantic manufacturing center, although I'm sure 401 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 1: they actually do, But they don't have a big manufacturing center. 402 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: We can order them to move back over here. But 403 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: I know for a fact they obtain a lot of 404 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: information on American citizens, and I know for a fact 405 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: they work closely with China. Should I be worried or not, 406 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: You should be very worried. Google has three partnerships in 407 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: Beijing on Artificial intelligence DOS, one with Peaking University, another 408 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 1: with Chinhwa University, and those are the two pre eminent 409 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: institutions in China. Plus also Google has its AI center 410 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: on its own and this research actually ends up benefiting 411 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: the Chinese military. And this is one of the things 412 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: that I think that President Trump should use his emergency 413 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 1: powers to end and order Google to come back home. 414 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: And it's not just Google, it's it's other US high 415 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: tech companies. But they are there in China, in circumstances 416 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 1: where they are benefiting the Chinese military, in other words, 417 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 1: helping the Chinese military be more capable in fighting the 418 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: United States. That's completely unacceptable, Gordon. Lastly, your books called 419 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: the Coming Collapse of China. Okay that it was written 420 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: before this whole coronavirus thing. Are they closer to collapsing 421 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: or are we closer to collapsing? How are they looking 422 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: better after all this worse? After all this what's your 423 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: I mean? You know you're the experts. Where are they at? Well? 424 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: I wrote that book in two thousand and one, and 425 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: I said that within ten years the Communist Party would fall. 426 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: So maybe I'm the last person on earth to talk 427 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 1: about the stability of the Chinese state. But when we're 428 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: looking at what's occurring there right now, there are signs 429 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: of severe stress on the Chinese political system. There are signs, 430 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: of course, of discontent across society. But perhaps most important, 431 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: the Chinese economy is deep in contraction. And that is 432 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: something that many Chinese have never seen before. They don't 433 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 1: know what a concept of a recession or a depression 434 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: is because they've never seen it. Every year has been 435 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: better than the next until now. So I think that 436 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: life is pretty difficult for senior Communist Party leaders. I'm 437 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: not saying that they won't get through this, but nonetheless 438 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: this is going to be a close run thing for them. 439 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: Gordon Chang you can find him on Twitter at Gordon 440 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: g Chang.

How are you handling it? 496 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: Because I think a lot of people are tired of 497 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: the same media pundance going on television when they're still 498 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 1: in a paycheck and they're eating like kings, and the 499 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: Americans are getting wiped out, and they're tired of people 500 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: going on TV and saying, oh, just quit whining and 501 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: go back inside. You're only watching Netflix. How are you 502 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: actually doing with it? I'm starting to pray at the 503 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 1: edges a little bit. I'm feeling like people are starting 504 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 1: to recognize that this is just this is just not 505 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: what life is supposed to be. We all know that, 506 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: but we're running out of tolerance for staying indoors pretty 507 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: much all the time, not seeing our fellow human beings. 508 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,719 Speaker 1: And you know, you see what the risks are, and 509 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: you see what the numbers are, and increasingly, I just 510 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: think people want to be able to make their own 511 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: determinations about what's safe for themselves and the immediate people 512 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: in their vicinity at least instead of I mean, some 513 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: of these really extreme lockdowns in Michigan. You can't even 514 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 1: go from one house you own to another house you own. 515 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 1: It's like, what are we even doing? So, you know, man, 516 00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 1: I think that big problem here is you've had the 517 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: confluence of panic from the government that failed us. Because 518 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: the government at the particularly the public health authorities, didn't 519 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:38,040 Speaker 1: see this coming, didn't know, didn't prepare, and then also 520 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: seeing this as the biggest opportunity to just crush the 521 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: Trump presidency and make sure that a Democrat gets elected 522 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: in the fall. Those two things have come together, and 523 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 1: it's very hard to have a reasonable discussion about how 524 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: long are we all going to be under house arrest, 525 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 1: how much how much of this do we really have 526 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: to endure? You know, we kind of have turned into 527 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: this just two weeks, two more weeks, two more weeks, 528 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: threny days, two more weeks. I don't know how many 529 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 1: more weeks I've got in me before I just start 530 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 1: wandering around the streets and my boxer is saying, like, 531 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: when is the madness going to stop? Dude? This is 532 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: getting pretty nuts. Buck. Obviously, we're talking a lot about 533 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: China tonight. It's our China special And to your point 534 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: that you just brought up, I am not comfortable becoming 535 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 1: China just because we get sick. And look, I know 536 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to overstate it. I realize we're not 537 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: wielding people into their homes the way China did, but 538 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: we are forcing people to stay in their homes we 539 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 1: are placing pastors under arrest. We are issuing tickets to 540 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: people who dare to attend a church service. We are 541 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 1: informing on our fellow citizens all over this country. We're 542 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: springing prisoners from jail, which is the most odd solution 543 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: to this problem I've ever heard in my entire life. 544 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: We're pointing up businesses and saying you're allowed to open, 545 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 1: and you're not allowed to open, and you and must close, 546 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: and you have to close. And this sounds I mean, look, 547 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: we're doing an entire show on China tonight. It does 548 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,480 Speaker 1: not appear that the virus is the worst thing we 549 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: brought here from China. This is not America, this is 550 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 1: not freedom. We have to remember that some of the 551 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 1: biggest names in the Democrat Party and left wing commentary, 552 00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: you know Tom Friedman over the New York Times, however 553 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: you want to describe his politics, they've been expressing some 554 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 1: degree of admiration for the Chinese command control not just economy, 555 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: but but society for a long time. They think that 556 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: China is able to tackle, you know, the challenges of 557 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 1: what we would say the Green New Deal better because 558 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,160 Speaker 1: you know, the smart people, the experts are just going 559 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: to tell everybody else what to do. And there's so 560 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: many examples throughout history. I mean history is really full 561 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: of crises where the experts were put in charge to 562 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 1: handle the crisis and the results were disastrous. So I mean, 563 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 1: one thing that they don't think about what the Chinese 564 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: model is what it took to get to the point 565 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: for them to open up markets. I mean China in 566 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:00,719 Speaker 1: living memory. I mean a lot of people. If your 567 00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: parents are boomers, they lived through they live through this. 568 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: China killed forty to sixty million of its own people 569 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,720 Speaker 1: with policies about how to raise how to make food essentially, 570 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,160 Speaker 1: I mean how to run your agricultural system. So the 571 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: Chinese government being in charge of everything right now over there, 572 00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,240 Speaker 1: and the way that we're talking about it here, Yeah, 573 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: there does seem to be a bit of a fondness 574 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,520 Speaker 1: on the left or the Chinese approach to dealing with 575 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 1: not just you know, the economics, but also dealing with 576 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: just day to day activities as long as for your 577 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,280 Speaker 1: own good, Jesse, it's for your own good. The experts 578 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,480 Speaker 1: have told you that, do it. Do We have a 579 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,280 Speaker 1: Chinese problem here, Buck, and I mean within the country. 580 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: I mean we have people like Senator Feinstein, who had 581 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:48,719 Speaker 1: a Chinese spy driving for We've had to deport Chinese 582 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: professors at some of our most prestigious universities. China has 583 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: admitted flat out to hacking us. We know they've gone 584 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: after our NSA before, and we have And look, I'm 585 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:01,279 Speaker 1: not I'm not accusing every paper as hackers, as they 586 00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,839 Speaker 1: are of being under the Chinese thumb. But look, when 587 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: you have major news organizations, the oldest one in the country, 588 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: NBC News, flat out repeating Chinese propaganda that no deaths today, 589 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 1: what am I supposed to take from that book? Well, 590 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, the Chinese government has spent and you know, 591 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 1: I know, just in case media matters is watching. You know, 592 00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 1: when we talk about a Chinese problem, right, we're talking 593 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,479 Speaker 1: about the Chinese Communist Party, and of course no one's 594 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: referring to a billion people as a problem. When you 595 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: look at what the Chinese government is doing here and 596 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 1: what they've been able to do in terms of influence operations, 597 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: something that anybody who's a student of the Cold War 598 00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 1: with the Soviet Union would understand very well. The Chinese 599 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,799 Speaker 1: are far ahead of where the Soviet Union was in 600 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: their ability to control political conversations, media depictions, pop culture. 601 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 1: Here they are way ahead of where the Soviet Union 602 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 1: was because the Chinese figured something out in this process. 603 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: The Chinese government figured out that our pressure point is 604 00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: financial that if you really want to control American society, 605 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 1: and the Soviets were always looking at looking at ways 606 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: to get fellow travelers to essentially get the kami left 607 00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,800 Speaker 1: in this country to back them up on things for 608 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: ideological reasons. Usually the Soviets weren't, you know, giving people 609 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: ten million dollars because like they didn't have it to 610 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,800 Speaker 1: spy for them for the most part, and they weren't 611 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: using that as the prime The primary appeal wasn't money. 612 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,280 Speaker 1: The Chinese are saying, do you want access to our markets, 613 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: then you're going to present the product this way. Do 614 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,560 Speaker 1: you want access to them, you know, the most the 615 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:37,400 Speaker 1: most powerful, fastest growing economy in the world outside of 616 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: the United States, Then you're going to answer these questions 617 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: and the way that we tell you, that's a tremendous 618 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 1: amount of leverage that they've had for years and years. 619 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: I mean, the NBA, I think is when people kind 620 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: of realized, wow, this even even ultra rich international celebrity 621 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: NBA superstars are going to say, well, I mean, I 622 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: don't want to upset China, so let's pretend that Hong 623 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: Kong isn't a thing it's happening. That's where we've really 624 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,480 Speaker 1: seen the change, I think in consciousness. Just how powerful 625 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: the party line, truly, the communist party line coming out 626 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,680 Speaker 1: of China is, and our discourse and our discussions about it, 627 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,239 Speaker 1: it's bad news, bad news. Buck Sexton of The Buck 628 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,160 Speaker 1: Sexton Show, right here on the first try to keep 629 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:26,520 Speaker 1: it together, my man, get yourself, gotta do it. Be good. 630 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: All right, We're not done just yet. We got a 631 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:49,680 Speaker 1: lot more good stuff for you. Hang on. Well, we 632 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 1: need an actual military perspective on all this, because we've 633 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 1: broken down every other part of it we possibly can. 634 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: And I can't think of anybody better to break that 635 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,480 Speaker 1: down for us than bring it the General Robert Spalding, 636 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:07,360 Speaker 1: retired US Air Force and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute. Basically, 637 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: this is the smartest human being alive. General, First of all, 638 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: can you explain the differences between China and US militarily, 639 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: because a lot of people don't, They don't realize that 640 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,959 Speaker 1: there is a difference. Maybe they're better at this, We're 641 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: better at that? Or are we better at everything? Aren't 642 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: they better at everything? What are the differences? Well, primarily 643 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: as it applies to their neck of the Woods, which 644 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: is the first and second island chain in the end 645 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: of Pacific, they're actually quite advanced in terms of their 646 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: ballistic missile and cruise missile technology. Of course, the United 647 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 1: States was a member of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty 648 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:50,400 Speaker 1: with Russia, and that treaty prevented US from building intermediate 649 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: range ballistic and cruise missiles in the ranges of approximately 650 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: five hundred to fifty five hundred kilometers, and the Chinese 651 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 1: Communist Party use that as a means to build thousands, 652 00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,720 Speaker 1: literally thousands of these weapons very cheaply and target both 653 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: our aircraft carriers and basis that we have in the region. 654 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: So they've created a very cheap and efficient deterrent capability 655 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:22,080 Speaker 1: with these conventionally armed ballistic and cruise missiles in the 656 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,800 Speaker 1: intermediate ranges, and we don't have currently a counter counter 657 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,880 Speaker 1: for that. The President a recently last August pulled out 658 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: of the I and F Treaty to give us the opportunity. 659 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: We still haven't built those weapons. In addition, the Chinese 660 00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: Communist Party has been pouring out naval vessels in the region. 661 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,479 Speaker 1: In fact, they have a bigger navy now than we do, 662 00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: so in their neck of the woods they're far more 663 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: capable conventionally than we are. Of course, the other element 664 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: to this is nuclear. They have what they call as 665 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: a minimum deterrence policy, so they have a minimum amount 666 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 1: of nuclear weapons. We have a much larger amount of 667 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,919 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, and more importantly, we have much more capable submarines, 668 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,480 Speaker 1: and of course we have the B two stealth bombers, 669 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,640 Speaker 1: so nuclear wise, we're far superior to them. Conventionally, in 670 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 1: their backyard, they're far superior to us. Now, if we're 671 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 1: talking about in a wavefight away from the Indo Pacific, 672 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: then we're far more capable at deploying conventional troops and 673 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: arms in other places. That being said, we rely a 674 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 1: lot on the Chinese for logistics, both the things that 675 00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 1: we deploy so the manufactured goods, a lot of the petroleum, 676 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: the process petroleum products, and we rely on their shipping. 677 00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: They have an extensive, far larger seven thousand ships commercial 678 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,799 Speaker 1: ships to our three hundred or so, so they have 679 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,680 Speaker 1: a far larger ability to deploy logistics around the world, 680 00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: and we rely on them for a lot of the 681 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: things we do today in the military. Well, look through 682 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,920 Speaker 1: the general. I was a lowly corporal, But that sounds 683 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,239 Speaker 1: to me like a major issue. If they have a 684 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 1: fortress of missiles around them and they take care of 685 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: the supply lines, what can we do to them over there? 686 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: I realize we're not going to have the Chinese crossing 687 00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,880 Speaker 1: and invading our shores, but it sounds to me like 688 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: this is obviously a million miles away, and nobody wants 689 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 1: a hot war with China. But should it ever come 690 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:29,719 Speaker 1: to that, it doesn't sound I really like we can 691 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,920 Speaker 1: do a heck of a lot to them. Well, if 692 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: you think about it, in a lot of ways, we 693 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,640 Speaker 1: need to kind of reach into our bag of tricks 694 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: from the Cold War and pull out an old strategy. 695 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 1: In fact, in the Cold War, the Russians the Soviets 696 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 1: actually far outnumbered US in conventional weaponry in Europe. In 697 00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,480 Speaker 1: the fold of Gap, we had really no capability of 698 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 1: meeting them there. Their tank superiorder and fired fighter jets 699 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 1: and all their troops in terms of numbers were far 700 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:04,000 Speaker 1: large than ours, and in essence what we did is 701 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,360 Speaker 1: relied on nuclear weapons to deter conflict, and that became 702 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: the mutually assured Destruction policy, where we said, if you 703 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,279 Speaker 1: attack in Europe, we're going to use everything we have 704 00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: against you, and that's really what kept the peace. And 705 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,520 Speaker 1: I think in order to go forward and actually be 706 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:22,000 Speaker 1: able to be a dominant economy and dominate in science 707 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:24,160 Speaker 1: and technology, which is again what we did in the 708 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: Cold War, we focused on building our economy, our manufacturing, 709 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: our science and technology research, and in military we focused 710 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:37,320 Speaker 1: on convention to our nuclear deterrence, and of course science 711 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:41,120 Speaker 1: and technology allowed us to leap frog them. We did 712 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 1: things like GPS and stealth weapons and networked warfare. So 713 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,400 Speaker 1: all of those things are things that we need to 714 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,839 Speaker 1: go back to and really focus on the military as 715 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:54,319 Speaker 1: a deterrent and then focus on building our economy and 716 00:42:54,400 --> 00:43:00,560 Speaker 1: our infrastructure and our manufacturing. Again, tell me about you 717 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,800 Speaker 1: mentioned there are no countermeasures for all these cruise missiles 718 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 1: that apparently, I mean, that paints a pretty bleak picture 719 00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 1: on my mind. For instance, you know, an aircraft carrier 720 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,439 Speaker 1: group going overseas and actually accomplish again anything, it sounds 721 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:13,799 Speaker 1: to me like they'd be at the bottom of the 722 00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,279 Speaker 1: ocean before they got close, and you say we don't 723 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,719 Speaker 1: have countermeasures. Is this one of those things that's easily possible, 724 00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,720 Speaker 1: as in we're going to have them in six months 725 00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: to a year. Is this technology that doesn't exist at all, 726 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,840 Speaker 1: and we're pretty much screwed. Well, we would have to 727 00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:35,440 Speaker 1: basically rethink our weapons posture and our acquisition policy. So 728 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 1: rather than buying thousands of F thirty fives and hyper 729 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:44,479 Speaker 1: expensive nuclear subs and hyper expensive aircraft carriers, we would 730 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 1: have to manufacture in bulk intermediate range ballistic and cruise missiles, 731 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,520 Speaker 1: essentially position them around the perimeter with our allies and 732 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: the Philippines and Taiwan and Japan in Korea and really 733 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 1: provide like capability to the Chinese. We could do this 734 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,279 Speaker 1: actually quite cheaply and quite easily, and those weapons are 735 00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 1: very hard to war game against. In fact, you may 736 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: remember the scud hunt in the first goal, for its 737 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 1: very difficult to find mobile ballistic missiles that would create 738 00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,920 Speaker 1: a conventional deterrent to go along with our nuclear deterrent 739 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,359 Speaker 1: at a very cost effective and affordable resource allocation, so 740 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,000 Speaker 1: we don't have to break the bank. What we've built 741 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,840 Speaker 1: is a military that really plays well in the Middle 742 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:36,160 Speaker 1: East and in some respects Europe, but not when facing mobile, 743 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 1: ballistic and cruise missiles. We really need to rethink the 744 00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:43,279 Speaker 1: force posture that we put in the Endo Pacific. I'm 745 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 1: sorry to press you on this so much, General, but 746 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,880 Speaker 1: I have heard this from people I trust in the 747 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,560 Speaker 1: military before, and this whole thing absolutely fascinates me. With 748 00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 1: the missiles and the defense they've built up. You brought 749 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,400 Speaker 1: up the naval vessels and the quality because I mean, 750 00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: everybody knows, anyone who knows anything about military and how 751 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:04,400 Speaker 1: they function, especially in the navy, that just advanced technologies 752 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 1: by a few years can make entire navies obsolete because 753 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,959 Speaker 1: one ship can wipe and tire ones out. How much 754 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,839 Speaker 1: better is ours than theirs? Oh? Clearly, in terms of 755 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 1: combat capability, we have superior weapons. The problem is when 756 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 1: you get into numbers, and so you know this, When 757 00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,920 Speaker 1: you're out of bullets, anybody can shoot you back and 758 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: you don't really have an ability to defend yourself. And 759 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: essentially that means that mask has a mass all of 760 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:34,120 Speaker 1: its own. And so if you have more numbers, even 761 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,080 Speaker 1: if we can say kill ten to everyone they have, 762 00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:39,719 Speaker 1: if they have twenty. That means the other ten are 763 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,320 Speaker 1: there to kill you. That's what they're building. They're building 764 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,680 Speaker 1: mask that's what the Soviets built conventionally, and that's what 765 00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: we're dealing with now in the Indo Pacific. How do 766 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 1: they have the money for this? And I genuinely mean that. 767 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,720 Speaker 1: I understand their economy is roughly as big as ours, 768 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:57,560 Speaker 1: and they're going up and down, and we're going up 769 00:45:57,560 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: and down. And I get all these things, but everything 770 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: you just described sounds awfully expensive to me. And they 771 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,880 Speaker 1: still have a country of a billion people. While I 772 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 1: understand most of that slave labor. How do they function 773 00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:10,920 Speaker 1: as a nation while spending this kind of money on 774 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: the military. Well, they have purchasing power parody, and which 775 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: means you mentioned the slave labor. They have lower wages. 776 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: Their shipyards function much more inexpensively. Of course, they don't 777 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: have the high quality of their naval vessels, so they 778 00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,719 Speaker 1: can pour out a whole lot more. In fact, they're 779 00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:31,560 Speaker 1: pulling it out I think one every six weeks a 780 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: surface combatant. You know, we just can't match those numbers. 781 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,040 Speaker 1: We put out a ship every two to three years. 782 00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: And so, as I said, when you're talking about the 783 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,359 Speaker 1: quantity of vessels they're putting out. It's very difficult when 784 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,359 Speaker 1: we run out of ammunition to really fight them all. 785 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 1: So that's the issue that we have today. And more importantly, 786 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:55,560 Speaker 1: they're actually using our own retirement funds to build this navy. 787 00:46:55,640 --> 00:47:00,040 Speaker 1: So they're using their selling stocks in Chinese companies and 788 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,759 Speaker 1: they're turning around and bonds and using that money to 789 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: build aircraft carriers and service combatants and other military weaponry. General, obviously, 790 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,239 Speaker 1: everybody likes to war game. What if we have to 791 00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,040 Speaker 1: go to China? What if we have to go to China? 792 00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,080 Speaker 1: And I don't want to get too red gone here? 793 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 1: And I realized we're talking about something we don't ever 794 00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 1: want to have happened. What if they came here? What 795 00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: if that became a possibility? What does that look like? 796 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 1: How set up are we for something like that? Oh? 797 00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,040 Speaker 1: Actually they're already here. You know. You remember Drymurria almost 798 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 1: got fired for tweeting about Hong Kong. That's what That's 799 00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: the way that the Chinese Communist Party goes to war. 800 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: They get into our corporations, they get into Wall Street, 801 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,160 Speaker 1: they get into our think tanks, they get into our universities, 802 00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: They get into our research labs, and they begin to 803 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,239 Speaker 1: not only take our technology. I already told you they're 804 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,640 Speaker 1: taking our investment dollars. They're also taking over our companies 805 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,920 Speaker 1: and essentially co opting a lot of the corporate lead 806 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 1: and a lot of leaders in Wall Street, a lot 807 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: of the think tanks. When I was in the White House, 808 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:08,160 Speaker 1: trying to get a think tank to expose the influence 809 00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,439 Speaker 1: of the Chinese Communist Party was impossible because they're all 810 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: receiving funds in some way or another.
