It's eight 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: hundred and nine for one sean if you want to 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. So it's day three 4 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: forty nine since Joe abandoned our fellow Americans and the 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan. We're now coming up, you know, 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 1: next year. Next week it'll be one year since he 7 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: made the promise that he would never do that. So 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,080 Speaker 1: it's a disaster. But Joe tells us, oh no, this 9 00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: one perfectly couldn't have gone any better. We still have 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: even Tony Blincoln admits American citizens that don't want to 11 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: be there. They are stuck behind enemy lines. Never mind 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: the thousands of Green card holders eligible to live in 13 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: the US legally. They're stuck there. I gotta give credit. 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: I think two of the most powerful videos I've ever 15 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,120 Speaker 1: seen in my life have been done by five for 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: Fightings John and Drassik. He's a friend of the program. 17 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: He recently went to Ukraine and put together I think 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: the most powerful video I've seen in a long time. 19 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: He had a full Ukrainian orchestra as he sings his 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: song one can One Man Save the World? Right there 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: from the battleground of an airport that had pretty much 22 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: been bombed to Smithereens listen, who is this comedian? Is alreadience? 23 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: My mis man? This man Ukrainian I don't know, great 24 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: grandson of the Hall Alocaust and East and had the 25 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: West Castle lost mail area of his cross side. Don't know? 26 00:01:51,640 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: Bloody yeah, he's got Can one man save the world? 27 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 1: Can one man save the world? John and Drassik joins us. 28 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: Now I'm not you know, we've been friends a long time. 29 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: As powerful as your first video was, this one was 30 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: even way more powerful. Well, thank you, Sean, thank you 31 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: for having me. It was a real experience. When I 32 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: went to Ukraine, will save our allies who I met 33 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: actually doing work in Afghanistan. We had no idea we'd 34 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: be able to film the video in front of the Maria, 35 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: the symbol of Ukrainian independence, the biggest cargo plane in 36 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: the world that Putin destroyed in the early days of 37 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: the war. To try to gut punch Ukraine and to 38 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: have this orchestra plane in that setting, in that bombed 39 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: out airport, with Russian tanks blown up and frankly human 40 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: remains still around, I think really showed symbolically the fortitude 41 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: of Ukrainian people through this orchestra and hopefully reminds people 42 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: of exactly what you're talking about, the plight of these people, 43 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: that the war is dragging on, that we're writing checks, 44 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: but there's no oversight and I fear sean if we 45 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: allow Putin to devour Ukraine, then it's going to be 46 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: our soldiers, our sons and daughters fighting this war in 47 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: Europe in a couple of years. So the consequences are historic. 48 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: We cannot allow this to happen. Our country seems to 49 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: be standing on the sidelines, and just like Afghanistan, it's 50 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 1: a disgrace. It's a disgrace. I just want you to 51 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: describe the situation though, because I mean it's very hard. 52 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, people have to watch the video. We'll put 53 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: it up on Hannity dot com. I want people to 54 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: know too that if you download this song and you go, 55 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: I'm sure most of you now want to. But he 56 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: this is his Ukrainian tribute song One Man Saved the 57 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: World with the Ukrainian Orchestra at this blown blown out 58 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: airport in front of Ukrainians and this the world's largest 59 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: cargo plane that Russia destroyed and I just want you 60 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 1: to know that that money goes to the Save Our 61 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: Allies group and these are people that are donating their time, 62 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 1: risking their lives, trying to save people and helping the 63 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: Ukrainians out. Our Allies actually know them welsh On they 64 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: saved the Fox News reporter of Benjamin Halls life. I 65 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: literally met the guy, I saw the ambulance he was in. 66 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: They were doing incredible work in Afghanistan. Still our rescue 67 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: twelve thousand Allies in ten days and now are leading 68 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 1: the humanitarian operations in Ukraine. Their relationship with President Zelinski 69 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 1: allowed us to go to Ukraine and film this video. 70 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: And this is just step one shown. You talked about 71 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: the fact that we have an economic policy of political 72 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: policy that's not working. We need a culture front on 73 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: this war. We need a live aid type concert. Every 74 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: big artist, every superstar, Springsteeing YouTube doing a global concert 75 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: for Ukraine this fall to put the spotlight back on 76 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: Ukraine and remind the Russian people that they are the 77 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: ones who are pariahed. Music can make a difference, Shan, 78 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: you know it. It can break borders. So we need 79 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: to do our part as artists and That's what I'm 80 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: calling for right now. So I'm going to tell you 81 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: behind the scenes that I've had many conservatives say, Hannity, 82 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: you got to stop. We can't afford another quagmire, twenty 83 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: year conflict that's never that's always ongoing, and we only 84 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 1: give them enough munitions to survive, but we never give 85 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: them the munitions to win. Now, I'm going to be honest, John, 86 00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: I want Zelenski to win the war. But if we 87 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: only provide them enough weaponry to just hang in there, 88 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: and we don't give them the weaponry to win. You 89 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: know the arguments that conservative friends of mine are making. 90 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: And by the way, they were gung ho beating Putin. 91 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: They wanted Putin destroyed, and they wanted and pushed out 92 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: of Ukraine, and they even wanted them pushed out of Crimea. 93 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: And they also realize, as I do, that his territorial 94 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: ambitions may go way beyond Ukraine. It may go to Poland, 95 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: God only knows where else in Europe wants to go to. 96 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: Wouldn't be the first time that we have seen that, 97 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: would it. So I'm torn because I see these heroes, 98 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: I see great valor, I see amazing courage and with 99 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: the equipment that they're given, they're making the best use 100 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: of it. They just don't have enough. And the question is, 101 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: at what point does somebody stand up and say, now, 102 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: give them the equipment to win, because that level of 103 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: commitment has never gone to Zelenski or to Ukraine, has it. 104 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: It is not We've been basically writing checks saying, oh, 105 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: we're doing something and giving them just enough to lose. 106 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: They need long range defensive weapons. It's it's not a 107 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: secret how Russia wins these wars. They ground and pound you, 108 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: encircle you, and over time devour you. And we know 109 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: what Ukraine needs, we know what Lensky needs, And you're 110 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: exactly right. I understand why the American people are frustrated. 111 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: We're all frustrated. But as I said, what are the 112 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: consequences of allowing Ukraine to be taken by Kutin? It's 113 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: not Afhanistan, Afghanistan with a moral disgrace, but it's not 114 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: geopolitical threatens the existence the United States. And we allow 115 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: Puton to reconstitute the Soviet Union, then there will be 116 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: our soldiers dying in the Eastern Europe. And we're not 117 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: even talking about Taiwan. We talked months ago, how Afghanistan, 118 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: what tip Ukraine? Here we are now, Taiwan's on the brink. 119 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: You know, they're watching what's happening here. So, as I said, 120 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: I think it's historic consequences. Hopefully this song, this concert 121 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: can shame the rest of the world into doing exactly 122 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: we're talking, because it's not just the United States. Jeremy 123 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: promised all this military equipment. They've done virtually nothing. So 124 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of talk, little action, and I 125 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: just fear fear sewn. I do not want our soldiers 126 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: dine in this escalation. I know you don't either. It's 127 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: historic times, but we have to will up and do 128 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: the right thing. What would Reagan do? You tell me 129 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: what would Reagan do? He would not be seen on 130 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: the sidelines, you know, assisting a slow loss to a 131 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: free country. I don't think you would either, I mean, 132 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: and that's the difference. You know. The amazing thing in 133 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: all of this to me is that this is a 134 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: winnable war. Most Russians do not approve of what Vladimir 135 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: Putin has done. Now he's a thug, he's a murderer, 136 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: he's a dictator. He rules by intimidation, and fear so. 137 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: Most Russians have kind of been silent about all of this, 138 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: but they don't support the war. They fully understand the 139 00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: sovereignty issue involving Ukraine. They don't want to go back 140 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: to the days of Soviet expansionism. And yet here we are. 141 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: This one guy has all the power and he's making 142 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: all the decisions. But the fact that they've even been 143 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: able to hold them off as long as they have 144 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: has been somewhat miraculous, and I think a tribute to 145 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: the American people and Zelenski. I'm not sure if you 146 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: saw this week, but Putin now is openly saying he's 147 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: going for Zalinski. And I'm surprised up to this point 148 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: that he has survived as long as he has. And 149 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: believe me, I want this guy to survive. Ninety five 150 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: percent of world leaders would have been on an airplane 151 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: with millions, if not tens and hundreds of millions of 152 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: dollars in cash and currency and precious metals, and they 153 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: would be sitting on a beach somewhere enjoying the rest 154 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: of their lives, not given a flying rip about their country. 155 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: Not only did he stay, but his wife and his 156 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: children stayed knowing that they'd likely be murdered. And we 157 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: talk about freedom, We talk about liberty, we talk about 158 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: our past of doing the right thing, being the leaders 159 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: of the world, and we're looking right now at our soul. 160 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: This song is not about presidence of lyndskeepers say, it's 161 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: telling about the Ukrainian people. It's like, who are we? 162 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: Are we the America of Normandy? Are we the America 163 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: that brought down the Berlin Wall?

I didn't meet Zelenski. 195 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: I met with many of his generals. I met with 196 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: many of the people there. Certainly he was busy, and I, 197 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: frankly I didn't go there for a photo op. I 198 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: went there to make a cultural bullet in this war 199 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: and have this video start a culture front on this war. 200 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: But the Ukrainian people are insane. They're they're they're insanely courageous, 201 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: They're compassionate, they are so human they to play with 202 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: this orchestra and look into their eye. Virtually every person 203 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: in that orchestra had someone either killed or missing or 204 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: at the front. And to be there to see firsthand 205 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 1: what they're experiencing. I wish every American could see what 206 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: I saw. I think any kind of doubt or hesitency 207 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: to do whatever takes to help them when this war 208 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: would would evaporate. But no one's been amazing. I saw pictures, 209 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: and you were there, and I wonder if you picked 210 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: this up as well. They had kids that were in 211 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: high school dressed up in like their prom outfits, and 212 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, amongst the rubble of what was Ukraine and 213 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: some of these these blown out towns now putin and 214 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: all his viciousness and all is evil was literally targeting 215 00:12:55,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: apartment buildings and schools and institutions and hospitals. I mean, 216 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: just a war of pure terror and hostility. And then 217 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: here are these kids that would have otherwise been at 218 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: their high school graduations and their problems, all dressed up 219 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: in their problem dresses amongst the rubble of war, and 220 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: not to me was the some of the saddest imagery 221 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: I've seen out of this. To break your heart, our 222 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: translator was a young woman, a bartender, and then she 223 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: likes so stopped making fun of bartenders. I used to 224 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: do that for a living, you know, I know you did. 225 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: I was really good at it, too, highly esteemed profession. 226 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: And but to your point, you know, she she had 227 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: the courage to quit and join the army. And she's 228 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: this woman who's about to be married. She's this kid 229 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: that should be enjoying her early twenties, and she's fighting 230 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: this war for the survival of her country. And as 231 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: you said, it's a war that can be won, and 232 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: the geopolitical consequences are enormous. And I think one reason 233 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: I made this video is to try to refocus the 234 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: world and bring the artists with me, because I do 235 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: think if the artists of the world stand with Ukraine, 236 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: and you really think Bono and Bruce Springsteen will join 237 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: with you in this. We'll find out Bono went. You 238 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: know he went to Ukraine and Ping Floyd wrote a 239 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: song about Ukraine. I think sometimes you just need somebody 240 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: to start the start the process. You know, we saw 241 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: Zelinsky drag the rest of the world to the right 242 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: side of history. He starts seeing Polish presidents Boris Johnson 243 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: go down the list. Nobody thought they'd be in Kiev. 244 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: And maybe we can do that musically and take the 245 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: lead on this because if we don't, you know, God 246 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: help us. I don't think we have a president that 247 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: knows where Kiev is on the map. But that's my 248 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: own personal opinion. I praise you for what you're doing. 249 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: You're a good friend, You're a brave soul, and it's 250 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: the most powerful video I think you've done in your career. 251 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: And You've had an amazing career to date, and I'm 252 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: sure you're gonna do much more. John and Dress And 253 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: by the way, if you want to help, if you 254 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: download this Ukraine attribute song One Man can One Man 255 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: Save the World?

You are listening to the best of 262 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show, and stay tuned more memorable moments, 263 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: interesting guests, and a lot of fun coming up next. 264 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: I just want to go over John Kirby sparring with 265 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: Peter Doocey and kind of insulting him because Peter Doocy, 266 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: you know, why, why didn't Biden ever call out President 267 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: she on threatening to shoot down Pelosi's plane or unfair 268 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: trade practices or COVID nineteen or you know, intellectual property 269 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: theft or the treatment of the minority wagers, not a 270 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: single thing. But yeah, President she threatens our own president 271 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: and he doesn't lift a finger anyway. Here's that exchange yesterday. 272 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: President Mine has known him for decades. He's got a 273 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: lot of free time up there in the residents. This 274 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: week he doesn't have free times, been working all the 275 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: way through his illness, quite frankly, Peter. So it's a 276 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: little bit insulting. And as for a call insult, is 277 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: that someone who is isolating by himself. He suggested he 278 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: has a lot of free time as if he's not 279 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: doing anything. And you know that's not the case, mister Ducy. No, 280 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: that's always the case. Peter Doocey as always was right 281 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 1: on the money. And we have this other issue that 282 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: we've been pointing out and covering at great length, and 283 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: that is China buying up all of this farmland and 284 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: all this ranch land, and a lot of it around 285 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: military installations. Governor Rhnda Santas of Florida talked about it 286 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: in an interview with Laura Ingram and here's what he said. 287 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 1: I don't think they should be able to do it. 288 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: I think the problem is is these companies have ties 289 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: to the CCP, and it's not always apparent on the 290 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: face of whatever company is doing. But I think it's 291 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: a huge problem the influence that they have. Now what 292 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: we have done in Florida, I've signed legislation to crack 293 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: down on undue influence from rogue states, including the CCP. Unbelievable. 294 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 1: Well to Santis is right, and it makes absolutely no 295 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: sense of shell company, whatever it is, straw buyers. You 296 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: can't have China buying up our farmland and buying up 297 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: our ranches and spending enormous amounts of money, especially near 298 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: military installations. This is insane. I think China would ever 299 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: let any US citizen buy up land near their military installations. 300 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: I tend to doubt it. I don't even think it's 301 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: a question anyway. Gordon Chang is with us. He is 302 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: the author of the coming collapse of China and the 303 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 1: great US China Tech War. We saw a little bit 304 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: of some of their technical abilities, as apparently they did 305 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: a cyber attack on Taiwan when Nancy Pelosi showed up. 306 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: How are you, mister Chang, welcome back. Thank you so much. Sean. 307 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: You know, I look at this starts with the phone 308 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,119 Speaker 1: conversation with President She and with Joe Biden, and of 309 00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: course the threat of President She not only against Biden, 310 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: but against Nancy Pelosi. You play with fire, you're gonna 311 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 1: get burned, threatening to shoot down Nancy Pelosi's playing. And 312 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm thinking, if I'm the president, I'm going to be 313 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: demanding answers on COVID, I'm going to be demanding answers 314 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: on human rights abuses with the Wiegers, the minority community, 315 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: and the treatment of these people. I'm going to be 316 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 1: demanding answers on unfair trade practices and intellectual property theft, 317 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: and their saber rattling and flying their fighter jets over 318 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: Taiwan airspace constantly. Joe Biden didn't do any of that 319 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: to my knowledge. Why not? I think it's because Biden 320 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 1: has this view of China Sean that we need to 321 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: cooperate with it. So he's willing to overlook genocide, climbs 322 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: against humanity, chef to view as intellectual property, deliberately releasing 323 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: the coronavirus beyond China as borders, all of these things. 324 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: But also there's the question that we have to conspone, 325 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: and that is what is the relationship of the Biden's 326 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: family with the Communist Party of China. We don't have 327 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,919 Speaker 1: all the answers to there, but we also don't have 328 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: a justice department that seems to be very enthusiastic about 329 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: finding those critical answers. Well, we know that's a fact. 330 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: I mean Director Ray was questioned yesterday extensively about this. 331 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: Now they've had Hunter Biden's laptop the longest of anybody 332 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: because the repairman, the Mac repair guy, John Paul mac Isaac, 333 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: he actually had Hunter's laptop, saw things on there that 334 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: he thought the FBI should know about, and first handed 335 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: it over to the FBI. They had it for years now, 336 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: and Director Ray still has no answers. I'm pretty certain 337 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: if it was a Trump child's laptop that there would 338 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: have been severe consequences at this point. But I think 339 00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: you're right on one very critical point. Why do you 340 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: prove the nord stream to pipeline for Vladimir Putin while 341 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: simultaneously canceling the keystone pipeline in this country? Could it 342 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: be related to Hunter and the three point five million 343 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: he got from an oligarch for what we can see 344 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 1: next to nothing in terms of work, the one point 345 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: five billion dollars deal with the Bank of China, the 346 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars shopping spree with a Chinese national. 347 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,880 Speaker 1: Does the biden In family syndicate business go into Joe 348 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: wanting to at a time we're paying the most we've 349 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: ever paid for a gallon of gasoline, give them a 350 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: million barrels of our strategic petroleum reserves and lifting tariffs 351 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump had put in place, Why it give 352 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: them special considerations when they're threatening us? Yes, and they're 353 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 1: not asking those questions. But one thing we know Sean 354 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 1: for sure, and that is that Hunter Biden failed to 355 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: report substantial amounts of income income tax advasion. That's a 356 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: federal crime. You start there and then you start getting 357 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 1: at the other things that you've talked about, which of 358 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 1: course are more important. But we don't really see very 359 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,199 Speaker 1: much in the way of vigorous law enforcement activity on 360 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: the part of the IRS, the US Attorney's Office in Wilmington, 361 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: or the FBI, and the American people need to have 362 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: answers because here we have, on its face, a foreign 363 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,719 Speaker 1: government buying a family which now occupies the Oval Office. 364 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: All right, so let's talk about how your read on 365 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: China now your book The Coming Collapse of China. Why 366 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,479 Speaker 1: do you believe that they will collapse? I believe they 367 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 1: will collapse because their assistant is unsustainable. That it can 368 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: go if, for instance, foreign companies and foreign investors keep 369 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 1: it going. It can go if we allow them to 370 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 1: steal our intellectual property. But the system on its own 371 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: is unsustainable. I have thought that they would fail before now, 372 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: but right now we're seeing signs of economic failure inside China, 373 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 1: and the only things that are don't keeping the economy 374 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 1: going are foreign investors into the equity markets, plus also 375 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: export sales to the United States and other locations. That 376 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: means we're keeping the Communist Party in business Sean. That 377 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:17,119 Speaker 1: means President Biden is rescuing our enemy. All right, So 378 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: let me ask you, so, would any other president at 379 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: this point in time, when China is threatening our ally 380 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 1: Taiwan threatening to shoot down a plane, with the Speaker 381 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,679 Speaker 1: of the House Ate threatening the President of the United 382 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 1: States on a phone call, and then state media bragging 383 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 1: about it, would any other president respond with the offer 384 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: of a million barrels of strategic petroleum reserve oil and 385 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: lifting tariffs because I can't think of one. Yeah, I 386 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: can't think of one either. You know, we're looking at 387 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:55,680 Speaker 1: the Biden policies from gay one, I mean hours into 388 00:22:55,760 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: his office, policies that are inexplicable, and that's just continued. 389 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: And the Communist Party loves the Biden administration because we're 390 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: seeing these pro China policies. Biden is as pro China 391 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: as he possibly can be. He is certainly going to 392 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: help the party. And you know, as I mentioned, it 393 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:19,159 Speaker 1: was just hours into his office when he reversed and 394 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: revoked a President Trump's executive order banning the importation of 395 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: electrical equipment from China. In other words, President Trump was 396 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 1: trying to protect our grid. Joe Biden was determined to 397 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: let the Chinese sabotage. This is really wrong. Let me 398 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: ask you this because maybe I'm seeing things a lot 399 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,679 Speaker 1: differently than you are, and you're definitely the expert on China. 400 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: I am not. But I've been watching China build up 401 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: their military, build up their military, build up their military. 402 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 1: I see that the United States and other Western countries 403 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: are making the same mistakes that Western European countries made 404 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 1: with Russia, and that is, they became dependent on the 405 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: lifeblood of their economy from Russia and Vladimir Putin a 406 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: hostile regime, hostile actor, and America has become way too 407 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: reliant on Chinese imports. And so I'm not seeing a 408 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: weak China government here or communist Chinese government at all. 409 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: I'm seeing that they're getting stronger militarily, and I see 410 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 1: that they want to be the world's dominant economy. And 411 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: I see that they're making every move possible to show 412 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: their territorial ambitions, and they're doing it with impunity. Yeah, 413 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's not only they want to have 414 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: the dominant economy in the world. They want to rule 415 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: the world and also Sean. They want to rule Moon 416 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 1: and Mars. Because we have Chinese officials since twenty eighteen 417 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: talking in public about how the near heavenly bodies should 418 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: be considered part of the People's Republic of China. You're 419 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: absolutely right. The Chinese military is getting stronger and stronger, 420 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: but the Chinese economy is showing signs contraction. There's the 421 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: debt crisis, the bank runs, the mortgage boycotts, all of it. 422 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: And so this is a regime that I think will 423 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,919 Speaker 1: lash out because it realizes it needs to make sure 424 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: that the Chinese people don't focus on the problems at 425 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: home because of the military misadventure abroad. Do you think 426 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: that maybe President cheese reign is more tenuous than is 427 00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: being projected. I think that it is more pretenuous than 428 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: people think, largely because even though he probably will get 429 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 1: his unprecedented third term as General Secretary of the Communist 430 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: Party later this year, he probably will be surrounded by 431 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: officials who don't share his views on, for instance, the economy, 432 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: because it's clear that his economic policies are failing, and 433 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: that people in the Communist Party don't believe that he 434 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 1: should be running the economy. This means there's going to 435 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: be continued to term as siege and Ping tries to 436 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: get rid of officials he doesn't like, and that means 437 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: a Chinese regime and turmoil is a dangerous China, especially 438 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: dangerous to the United States. I think the way to 439 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: battle back against Putin would be for all Western countries 440 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: to not buy any energy, any gas, or oil from 441 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. I think with China, I think every Western nation, 442 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: because of their hostilities, they ought to stop all imports 443 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,400 Speaker 1: from China. If they do, that's that'll destroy their economy guaranteed, 444 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: and that would precipitate the collapse that you're predicting. Yeah, 445 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm one hundred with you, Sean. We shouldn't be buying 446 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: anything from China. We shouldn't be investing in China. We 447 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: shouldn't be allowing Chinese parties to buy our ranch land 448 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: and our farms. We should be expropriating Chinese ranches and farms. 449 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: We need to cut ties because Sean, China uses every 450 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 1: point of contact with us to take down our society 451 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 1: and we're being overwhelmed. We lose our country and until 452 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: we can manage this relationship, that relationship needs to go 453 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 1: to zero. Well, I don't think it's just the United 454 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,880 Speaker 1: States that should take that posture. I think it's all 455 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 1: Western countries order unite. Now, there was a recent meeting 456 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: with the Chairman of the Joint Chief General Millie in 457 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 1: Australia with his counterparts from twenty six different countries dealing 458 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: with this very issue. I mean, I talk to other 459 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: people in the defense industry. They say that if we 460 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 1: had a military conflict with China today, we might very 461 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: well lose. That scares me, Yeah, and we could very 462 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: well lose because, among other things, China has some better 463 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: weapons than we do, especially long range cruise missiles. They're 464 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: developing hypersonic glide vehicles, and we have a navy which 465 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: is broken. And in general, our military is now being 466 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: infected by woke ideology, which means we're training people to 467 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: hate our country while we ask them to defend us. 468 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: This is serious, you know, as Abraham Lincoln said, he 469 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 1: and famously said, look, you know, no one's ever going 470 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: to be able to defeat the United States is we're 471 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: going to defeat ourselves, and that's exactly what's happened. I 472 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: was a warning from Alexander soldier Nietzche many many years ago. 473 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: Quick Break more with Gordon Chang, author of The Coming 474 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: Collapse of China and the Great US China Tech War. Hey, listen, 475 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: we're halfway through twenty twenty two. It's already been a 476 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: big year for healthcare data breaches, LifeLock, dot com one 477 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: eight hundred, LifeLock promo code Hannity, We continue with Gordon Chang, 478 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: his book The Coming Collapse of China The Great China 479 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: US Tech War. Let me ask you this, how does China, 480 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: how does President Chi? How does he view Joe Biden 481 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: versus how did he view Donald Trump? What's the difference? Well, 482 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: the difference is that Sijan thing does not respect Biden. 483 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 1: We know this from the Chinese propaganda, especially after the 484 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 1: fall of Afghanistan. The propaganda was very clear how the 485 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: Chinese leadership views US, and we reinforced this notion that 486 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: the United States is weak when we failed to stop 487 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: Latimer Imprutin from invading Ukraine. We know that China has 488 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: been all in supporting the Russian war effort and Biden 489 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:12,920 Speaker 1: complains about it in public, but he doesn't sanction the 490 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: Chinese for obviously going to the aid of Russia, including 491 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: supplying military information and perhaps military equipment which looks like 492 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,240 Speaker 1: it's on the horizon. That's because they don't respect the 493 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: United States. Not under Joe Biden, for sure, but I 494 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: do think he feared President Trump. Um, what are the 495 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: odds Taiwan and re quote reunification as he calls it, 496 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: happens within the next year and a half. It is 497 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: much higher than most people think. We have a pentagon 498 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 1: for inst I think I think it's it could be 499 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: very high, and especially because Spinning has staked his legitimacy 500 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: on taking Taiwan, and the Biden administration is not making 501 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: those investments and our military that are necessary to stop 502 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:06,600 Speaker 1: the Chinese. And there's always the possibility of an accident. China, 503 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: especially for the last two months, has engaged in an 504 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: intensified campaign of dangerous intercepts in the air around China, 505 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: and lasts could become an accident. What are the odds 506 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 1: the Biden families compromised by China and Russia? And that's 507 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 1: the last question. Um, by Russia, I don't know but 508 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: by China, I think it's well over fifty percent. I 509 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: think we're in the ninety five percent territory um. All right. 510 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: Thank you, Gordon Chang, author of the Coming Collapse of 511 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: China and the Great US China Tech War.
