1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,800 Speaker 1: So we're learning more now why China may be doing 2 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: what they're doing to their own people, and also why 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: they're so involved with Russia right now, specifically with petroleum, 4 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: oil and gas, and also looking the other way in 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,280 Speaker 1: many ways. We're now being told even helping Russia when 6 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 1: it comes to Ukraine. Apparently it has all come out 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,599 Speaker 1: in a new report, a new report to the White 8 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: House is not happy about. And it makes sense because 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: all these other nations seem to be acting out because 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: of their lack of leadership. Scott Kirby at the White 11 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: House was actually asked about this, and it all goes 12 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: back to Afghanistan. Take a listen. Let's talk about the 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: Defense Department's annual report, because it is saying that Biden's 14 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: fumbled withdrawal from Afghanistan was a propaganda gift to China. 15 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? I love this. By the way, 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: this is the Defense Department putting out their annual report, 17 00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,279 Speaker 1: and their annual report says that the bungled and that's 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: a nice way of putting it, withdrawal from Afghanistan was 19 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: a propaganda gift for China in any other country in 20 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: the world that wanted to act out also remember Taiwan. 21 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: Right now, it's paying very close attention to what's happening 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: in the US and listening to the White House response saying, oh, no, 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: that's not true at all, and then they say something 24 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: even more shocking. No, I do not, and I don't 25 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: know that that's the Pentagon's assessment that it was a 26 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: propaganda gift to China. If anything, nations like China and 27 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: Russia took a look at what we did in Afghanistan, 28 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: and we've talked about this many many times over the 29 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 1: last year, and had to marvel at the speed, the 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: efficiency of the effectiveness that a very small number, a 31 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: very small number of troops, Brian, you listen to me, now, 32 00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: hear me out small number of troops were able to 33 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: move that many Afghans safely out of that country. No 34 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: other nation in the world can do that. Marveled at it, folks, 35 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: marveled at it. You can hear Brian killed me there saying, oh, please, 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: marveled at it, right, I mean, these are the words 37 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: of the White House. We've talked about this many, many, 38 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: many times over the last year quote, and had to 39 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: marvel at the speed, the efficiency and effectiveness the US 40 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: government getting out of Afghanistan, which is totally absurd, So 41 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: of course Fox had to you know, okay, fine, we'll 42 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: go there. You brought it up. Listen, the way you 43 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: withdrew is the issue, Admiral. The way we are military 44 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: moved in and out is a separate issue. Your defense 45 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: departments claimed as part of its annual report to Congress 46 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: on National Security developments, they suggest that China capitalizes on 47 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 1: the withdrawal to convince world leaders the US is not 48 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: a reliable ally, so Brian Kilme talking, it's your defense department. 49 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: The PRC employed multiple diplomatic tools an attempt to erode 50 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: US and partner influence, and it highlights the US withdrawal 51 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: from Afghanistan, the death of thirteen and they'll how many 52 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: people we got out, that's one issue. But the way 53 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: we did it, the way we promise that government would 54 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: stand up, the way we're going to leave in and 55 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: have a transition. The disaster that took place is one 56 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: of the many problems, along with the soldiers that are 57 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: suffering now by the way you ended that twenty year war. 58 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: Not you, but the administration is that China is using it. 59 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: And you could argue that Russia invaded Ukraine because of it. 60 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: White House, of course doesn't like this type of pushback 61 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 1: from Fox, but don't worry, that's the only place where 62 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: there was pushback. They want you to actually believe, and 63 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: they think you're dumb enough to believe that this is 64 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: all happening right now. Just because China decided to randomly 65 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: do something against its own people has nothing to do 66 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: with them realizing America won't stop them. And now you 67 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: have the Defense Department putting it in writing that China 68 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: capitalized on the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and it was 69 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: perfect propaganda. It wasn't just for them, it was for 70 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: everyone else involved, which brings me to another issue in 71 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: this country. Back in two thousand and seventeen, Tim Cook, 72 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: the CEO of Apple, say that China has done an 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: unbelievable job of lifting people out of poverty. This is 74 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: how much of a scumbag Apple is, as we now 75 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: know that Apple is actually helping the Chinese communist government 76 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 1: silence their own people and make sure they cannot communicate 77 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: with one another, even within their own apartment buildings, as 78 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: they are in lockdown, and if you do come out 79 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: of your apartment, they will arrest you, and you will 80 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: become one of the disappeared ones. Listen carefully. China has 81 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: done an unbelievable job of lifting people out of poverty. 82 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: They've done an incredible job, I mean, far beyond what 83 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: any country has done. We were talking about to lie 84 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: by the way, China has not lifted a bunch of 85 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: people out of poverty. They have more than a million 86 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 1: people that are literally in an slavement camps right now. 87 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: That's not lifting people out of poverty. When you have 88 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: more than a million literal slaves. I'm talking about the 89 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: same type of slaves that we had in the United 90 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 1: States of America back when we had slavery before the 91 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: Civil War. And you have Tim Cook, who has made 92 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: billions upon billions of dollars off of the slave labor 93 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: in China. He knows that there are massive human rights abuses, 94 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: and he knows that they have not lifted people out 95 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: of poverty. But he sits there on a stage back 96 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen and not only does he say this, 97 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: but he says we should actually applaud China for what 98 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: they've done to lift people out of poverty. And he 99 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: also says they've done something else which is amazing. Listen 100 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: nineteen mid nineties to today. The biggest change is the 101 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: number of people that have been pulled out of poverty 102 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: by far, and we should all applaud that. So there 103 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: you go. There's your American CEO Apple, the same American 104 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: CEO Apple that is now trying to figure out if 105 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: they can d platform. Okay, that's what they want to 106 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: do Twitter for freedom of speech because they're actually now 107 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: advocating for freedom of speech and they want to shut 108 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: it down since Elon Must bought it, because now it's 109 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: a threat to them, and it's a threat to the 110 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: Democrats all over the country. So this is where we 111 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: are in America. We have companies now Apple CEO that 112 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: is actively helping the Chinese communists shut down in silence 113 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: the people that they're brutalizing right now. And you have 114 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: a CEO that at the same time as like we're 115 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: gonna check on Twitter, we might shut down freedom of 116 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: speech in America. They're used to this, They're actively shutting 117 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: down freedom of speech in China. Why wouldn't they want 118 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: to shut it down America? Because they're all about the 119 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: money and ninety seven or ninety eight percent of all 120 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 1: donations from Apple went to the Democratic Party in the 121 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: last election. Cool, that makes sense. You are nothing, You're 122 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: you're no less, You're no different than the communist regime 123 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: in China. And Tim Cook he knows that Chinese people 124 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: are listening to him, and that's why he went on 125 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: to say this and again, this is back in twenty seventeen, 126 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: and you should all feel good about it. And so 127 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: there are in the environmental leadership today is very clear 128 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: and it aligns completely with Apple's values. The Chinese that's 129 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: a lie. By the way, China is not saving the environment. 130 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: China is the biggest polluter in the world, more than India. 131 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: China is the biggest polluter in the world. We all 132 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: know this, Okay. This is not something that's controversial. This 133 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: isn't something that's crazy. This is the reality of the situation. 134 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: And China understands this right like China knows that they pollute. 135 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: They don't care the smog over their cities, the masks 136 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: that people were wearing pre COVID just because the air 137 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: wasn't clean to breathe. They don't protect their workers either, 138 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: So you understand they don't protect their workers at all. Okay, 139 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: understand that they have massive human rights violations. They have 140 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: people that are destroying families, taking away fathers and mothers 141 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: and children from their parents. They have robots that are 142 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: flying around, artificial intelligence that are actually putting out messages 143 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: in the streets that if you come outside, you will disappear. 144 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: We will come and get you. You are being monitored. 145 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: We have people that have died in apartment complexes because 146 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: the fires were not able to put out because they 147 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: had the doors nailed shut. We have seen the videos 148 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: that have come out in China them welding shut doors 149 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: to apartment complexes. People begging for food but can't leave 150 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: their buildings. They're in prison because of a zero COVID policy. Also, 151 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: remember this, China's COVID vaccine is not a good one. 152 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: It's basically not working and doesn't work well at all. 153 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: They refuse to allow other vaccines into their country. You 154 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 1: have to ask yourself a question, why why is it 155 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: that they will allow other vaccines in or excuse me, 156 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: will not allow them in because they want to save face. 157 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: They have to tell their people that their vaccine is 158 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: the best and the other vaccines are failures. They have 159 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: to say that their country is the best in figuring 160 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: everything out with vaccines and medical They will not allow 161 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: the other parts of the world to come in. That's 162 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: how evil they are. And they will shut you down 163 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 1: and silence you and put you in your own prison, 164 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: your home for three years. All right, real quick, let 165 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: me pause and tell you about our incredible friends over 166 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile.

I 194 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: want to go back to part of this conversation also 195 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: that I was playing a moment ago with Tim Cook 196 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: back in twenty seventeen. You know, he says, China is 197 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 1: doing all these great things with human you know, with 198 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 1: human rights, and they're getting people out of poverty, and 199 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: they're protecting their environment, and their values are exactly what 200 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: our values are as a company with the environment. And 201 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: Fortune Magazine who's having this moment on stage with him, 202 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 1: this is what they that interjecting environmental government. I mean, 203 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: they're they're very fixated on doing the right things to 204 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: avert climate change. And this is something that means a 205 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: lot to us as well. And so what we always 206 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: try to do is find the areas where you can 207 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: work together, find the areas of commonality, and then the 208 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: things that you disagree with, take time to understand how 209 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: somebody sees it. Oh, take time to understand how the 210 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: Chinese see it. So find areas that you can work together. 211 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: Let's just go back to that from Tim Cook for 212 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: just a moment, right, You got to find areas where 213 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: you can work together with the Chinese communist government. That's 214 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: what you have to do. You got to work with them. 215 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: Understand how somebody sees it, and you got to see 216 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: how they see it, right, all right, So let's put 217 00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:01,559 Speaker 1: that into practice. We now know that Apple is clearly 218 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: now working hand in hand with a Chinese communist government 219 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 1: to silence their citizens from talking and dialogue with one 220 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: another through Apple's air drop feature, which has been disabled 221 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 1: in all of China. Listen to this from Tuger Carlson. 222 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: Unless you read The Daily Mail, which is an English 223 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: paper published online, you probably didn't know that Chinese president 224 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: Jesi and Ping sent tanks into a major city last 225 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: night in order to put down protests against his rule. 226 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: Virtually no American media outlets even acknowledge that that happened. 227 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: And that's pretty weird if you think about it. Imagine, 228 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: for example, that Hungarian leader Victor Orbon put tanks into 229 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: Budapest to crush his political opponents. What our media notice, 230 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, they would. It'll be on the front 231 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: page of the New York Times Morning. Joe would lead 232 00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: with it. And keep in mind that Hungary is a 233 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: very small country. It's got a GDP smaller than South Dakota's. China, 234 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: by profound contrast, has the biggest economy in the world. 235 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: China's our main global rival. It's a highly significant place. 236 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: And yet somehow no one in any newsroom in American 237 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 1: noticed when Jiji and Ping decided to replay Tenement Square. 238 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: This didn't see it, even though the pictures are on 239 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: the Internet. How's that possible? Could it be that the 240 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: American news media is covering for the government of China. 241 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: You can't say, well, let you make the call on that. 242 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: We can say we know for a fact that Apple 243 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 1: is covering for the government of China. Apple is the 244 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: most valuable company in the world. It's got a current 245 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: market cap of trillions of dollars. Financial listings describe Apple 246 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: as an American company. You can see why they do. 247 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: Apple is headquartered in the United States. It was founded 248 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: by Americans. To this day it's run by an American citizen. 249 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: But those facts don't tell the story. In fact that 250 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 1: this point, Apple is in no sense American. Apple's loyalty 251 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: is to the government of China. And if you think 252 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: that's an overstatement, consider this. Earlier this month, Apple did 253 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: the bidding of the Chinese government to crush domestic protests 254 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: against the Communist Party there. Listen very carefully to what 255 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 1: Tucker is about to say from this article. Apple did 256 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: this by disabling its permanent air drop feature in China, 257 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: and so far only in China. It's the only country 258 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: in which it's disabled. So why did Apple disable that 259 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: feature in China. Well, because that feature, permanent air drop, 260 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: allows iPhone users to communicate directly with one another without 261 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: using the Internet or cellular networks, both of which in 262 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: a totalitarian state like China, are controlled by the government. 263 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: And that means that without permanent air drop, it's effectively 264 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: impossible for freedom minded citizens to organize with one another. 265 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: They're powerless. Apple of course knows this, and that's why 266 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: when iPhone users in China began using permanent air drop 267 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: to complain about the Communist Party, Apple just shut it down. 268 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: In other words, and again this is not an overstatement. 269 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: Apple is now an active collaborator with China's murderous police ting. 270 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: When tanks roll into a Chinese city, Apple is rooting 271 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: for the tanks. Is Tugger wrong to say what he 272 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: just said. No, because you listen to Tim Cook, and 273 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: you go back to Tim Cook twenty seventeen. We work 274 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: together with the Chinese. What we always try to do 275 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: is find the areas where you can work together, find 276 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 1: the areas of commonality, and then the things that you 277 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: disagree with, take time to understand how somebody sees it. 278 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: So when you see the tanks rolling through the streets 279 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: in China, you need to take time to understand and 280 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 1: see it from their perspective. That's what you need to do. 281 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: We work together with the Chinese because that's what you do. 282 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: You got to understand that China is different than America, 283 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: So you need to realize that China is a place. 284 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: It just has a different set of rules, folks. It's 285 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: just a little different. It's something that's just not the 286 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 1: same as what we are. So therefore, just relax, chill out, 287 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,679 Speaker 1: and understand that it's just always going to be a 288 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 1: little bit different. Scott gonna be the same thing, right, 289 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: That's just it's just change, folks. That's all there is 290 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: to it. There's a little bit of change here, Okay. 291 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: So now you have it. Apple, the company that's in America, 292 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: is going to do everything they can to help the 293 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: Chinese communists keep power, destroy human beings, silence their own citizens. 294 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: Apple is now an active collaborator with China's murderous regime. 295 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: As Tucker Carlson said, when tanks roll into a Chinese city, 296 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 1: Apple is rooting for the tanks. He's not wrong. We 297 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: know this because that's what their actual policy is. We're 298 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: not sure there's anything that the Chinese government has asked 299 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: Apple to do that they've actually said no too, because 300 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: why would you when you're making all of this money. Well, 301 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: for a company based outside San Jose, this seems like 302 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: a big step becoming a partner with a Chinese police state. Yes, 303 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 1: and yet once again this fact received virtually no coverage 304 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: in the United States. Apple's decision to side with the 305 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: oppressors over the oppressed, Apple's decision to actively help America's 306 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: enemies to hurt ordinary people seeking freedom just wasn't news, 307 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: in the view of the New York Times. Not that 308 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: you should be surprised by it. Apple has been sucking 309 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: up to the Communist Party of China for many years. 310 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: Watch this clip from twenty seventeen of the company's CEO 311 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: Tim Cook. China has done an unbelievable job of lifting 312 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 1: people out of poverty. They've done an incredible job. I mean, 313 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: far beyond what any country has done. We were talking 314 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: about nineteen mid nineties to today. The biggest change is 315 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,400 Speaker 1: the number of people that have been pulled out of poverty. 316 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: It's just a lie. Tucker said exactly what I said here. 317 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: It's a lie. Right, all of this in China, everything's 318 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: better because we say it's better, even though it's not better. 319 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: Tim Cook can look at you and say there's no 320 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: human rights abuses in China. That doesn't mean that there's 321 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: not any human rights abuses in China. Tim Cook can 322 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: look at you. The Apple CEO and tell you instantly, Hey, 323 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: you need to know that they are amazing, they're doing 324 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: so much to help people. Doesn't mean that it's actually true, 325 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,880 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that it's real, folks, doesn't mean that this 326 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: is something that actually is anything close to what's actually 327 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: happening ground. But it doesn't matter because we're selling you 328 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: a bill of goods. We're selling you something. We just 329 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 1: want you to believe. We're selling you something that we 330 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 1: think you are wanting to hear, because hey, it's China. 331 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: Look the other way. You don't stand up for people 332 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: in China. Come on, it's China. They're a different group 333 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: of people. They're a different group of people that you 334 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: should understand. They're a different group of people that run 335 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,639 Speaker 1: their lives differently than we do in America, and you 336 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,800 Speaker 1: should respect that. Obviously. I'm quoting Tim Cook, the Apple CEO. 337 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,479 Speaker 1: So now, where do you go with this? In China 338 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 1: and what's happening take a listen. Oh, in the first category, 339 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: it is true that China is far richer than it 340 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: was thirty years ago. That's indisputable. But what Tim Cook 341 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 1: doesn't mention is that much of the money and virtually 342 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: all of the technology a large proportion of which was 343 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: stolen came from the United States. So that's it debatable 344 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: claim at best. But environmental leadership from China, that is 345 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: not a debatable claim. Tim Cook is telling us in 346 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: that clip with a straight face, that the Chinese government 347 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: is a model for environmental stewardship, and that is completely ludicrous. 348 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 1: China is the opposite of that. It's the greatest offender 349 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: against the environment. China is the biggest polluter in the 350 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: world by far. No country comes close, not just in 351 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: carbon emissions. They're building new coal plants, but in plastics 352 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: in the ocean, in heavy metals in the ground, polluting 353 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 1: the land and the water. China leads the pack. No 354 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: one's close. But the question is why is he lying? 355 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: Why does Apple, as a company and it's CEO in 356 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: that clip in many others feel the need to cover 357 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: for the Chinese Communist Party. Why does it feel the 358 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: need to help the Chinese Communist Party oppress its own citizens. 359 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: Those are good questions we shout today to Apple. We 360 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: wanted to hear their side of the story. We did 361 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: not hear back. So instead we will bring you Tim 362 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: Cook's most recent explanation. This is from last year. It 363 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: is you have been criticized for not speaking out on 364 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: human rights issues, for example in China and other companies 365 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: in other countries as well. This is something I think 366 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: a lot of companies that have been doing business in 367 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: China struggle with a number of companies, as you know, 368 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: have abandoned China. How do you think about that. I 369 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: think that we have a responsibility as a business to 370 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: do business in as many places as we can, because 371 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: I think business is this huge catalyst. I believe in 372 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: what Tom Watson said is world piece through world trade. 373 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 1: You have to get your head around when you're operating 374 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: outside the US in any country in the world that 375 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: there are different laws and so that's that's part of 376 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: both the complexity and part of the beauty of the 377 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: world as everybody has their their own laws and customs 378 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: there it is they've got their own laws and customs, 379 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: and we just want to make money, and we're going 380 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: to figure out a way to make money no matter what. 381 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: That's apple so is the tanks roll down the streets. 382 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: Just no apples on your side, communists, that is not 383 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: the people. We will limit air drop feature only in China. 384 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: We will do everything we can to actively support China's 385 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: murders police state, and then we'll look at you in 386 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: the face and tell you they have no human rights 387 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: abuses and they have great things they're doing for their people, 388 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: and you should be happy because it's all being done 389 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 1: with an iPhone. What's the White House had to say 390 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: about this? Not much either. Now, before I get into 391 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: more of this story, I want to say thank you 392 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: and tell you about our good friends at Legacy Precious Metals. 393 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: If you're paying attention, you've seen that the stock market 394 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: has been plumbing. Many economists are predicting this is just 395 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: the beginning and we could see a market pullback well 396 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: into twenty twenty three. If that happens, you're going to 397 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: see tremendous losses in your portfolio.

In the twenty eight crash from the market, 400 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: dipped gold went up.

What 415 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: does she had to say about America setting up for 416 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: freedom of speech and basic human rights? This is the 417 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: efficient response from the White House on China. Has the 418 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 1: White House communicated to Beijing any possible consequences of its 419 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: crackdown on protesters? And also is the White House considering 420 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: saying something or using existing US government tools to help 421 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,840 Speaker 1: Chinese citizens get around Internet blocks? So I don't have 422 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: anything to preview for you at this time on you know, 423 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: anything connected to the social media? Your first your second question, 424 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 1: I don't have any calls to preview to you for 425 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: you at this time. Look, we've been very clear that 426 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 1: people have a right to peacefully protest without fear, and 427 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 1: we don't think that that right should be hindered or 428 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: interfered with. Nothing has changed about the President's firm belief 429 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: in the universal universality of human rights and power of democracy, 430 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: and so we will continue to express our support for 431 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: the fundamental freedom. The United States will also continue to 432 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: stand for respect for freedom of the press and freedom 433 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: of expression. No journalists should be arrested or beaten or 434 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 1: harassed for simply doing their job as it comes to 435 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 1: some of the reports that we've been hearing on the ground, 436 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: and we're watching this closely as you as you might 437 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: expect that we would, and we believe that you know, 438 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 1: you know that people should have the right again to 439 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: peacefully protest. You're gonna call him out for them not 440 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: allowing people to peacefully protest. No, we're just gonna give 441 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: you a basic answer, not even coming from the President 442 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: of the United States of America denouncing what they're doing 443 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: to the people there. Hell, even Trudeau, Okay, And this 444 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 1: is a guy who threatened and locked up truck drivers 445 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: that were protesting in his own country over COVID nineteen 446 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: vaccine mandates. He even said everyone in China should be 447 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: allowed to protest because he understood this is a moment 448 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 1: when you stand up for human rights, even if you're 449 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: the scumbag that silenced your own protesters in China just 450 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 1: six months ago. Canadians are watching very closely. Obviously, everyone 451 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: in China should be allowed to express themselves, should be 452 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: allowed to share their perspectives and indeed protests. We're going 453 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: to continue to ensure that China knows will stand up 454 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: for human rights, will stand with people who are expressing themselves. 455 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: We also need to make sure that China and places 456 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: around the world are respecting journalists and their ability to 457 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 1: do their job. Will continue to make that very clear. 458 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: I do love that that's the same guy that actually 459 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: referred to truck drivers as domestic terrace in his own country. 460 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: Where's the president still silent? British Prime Minister? He actually 461 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: came out, was even more forceful than anybody so far. 462 00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: This is what the president should have done, and he 463 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: finally said this. Actually, let me rephrase that. He didn't 464 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 1: just finally say it, he actually said it. And it's 465 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: sad because the UK again is leading more than America. Now, 466 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: let's be clear, the so called Golden era is over, 467 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,760 Speaker 1: along with a naive idea that trade would automatically lead 468 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 1: to social and political reform. That, nor should we rely 469 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: on simplistic Cold war rhetoric. We recognize China poses a 470 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: systemic challenge to our values and interests, a challenge that 471 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: grows more acute as it moves towards even greater authoritarianism. 472 00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: Instead of listening to their people's protests, the Chinese government 473 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: has chosen to crack down further, including by assaulting a 474 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 1: BBC journalist. I mean, where's our country nowhere to be found? 475 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: Where's our leader nowhere to be found? Senator Ted Cruz 476 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: said this on Hannity last about all of it. It 477 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: is amazing how for two years we've seen Joe Biden 478 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: and the Democrats showing weakness and appeasement to every enemy 479 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 1: of America, whether it is China, whether it is Iran, 480 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: whether it is Venezuela, whether it is Russia. This is 481 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 1: an administration that can't stand up to our enemies. This 482 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: is an administration that's surrendered to the Taliban in Afghanistan 483 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: and showed weakness to the entire world. Right now in China. 484 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: You look at what's happening, it's extraordinary. You're seeing millions 485 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: of people risking their lives taking to the street, look 486 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: to go protests. It's one thing to protest in America, 487 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: where the downside is negligible. There those people are literally 488 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: risking being thrown in prison, being tortured, being murdered. But 489 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: they're standing up for freedom. And this is a potential 490 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: inflection point. And Joe Biden ought to stand up and 491 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: unequivocally stand with the people of China and say they 492 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: deserve to be free, but this White House won't do that. 493 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 1: We're seeing in Iran again people heroically protesting in the street, 494 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: protesting the repressive, eat Sola, who again tortures and murders 495 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: his own people, and again Joe Biden and the Democrats 496 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: are terrified to speak out. Now, let me be clear, Sean, 497 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that we should go to war with Iran. 498 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: I'm not saying we should go to war with China. 499 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to see a shooting war between China and 500 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: the United States. But the biggest bully pulpit in the 501 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: world is the presidency. And Ronald Reagan showed us that 502 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: when you stand in front of the Brandenburg Gate and 503 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: you say, mister Gorbachev, tear down this wall. When you 504 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: speak out for freedom, it terrifies the communist dictators, It 505 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 1: terrifies the tyrants in China, in Russia, in Iran and Venezuela. 506 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 1: And instead, what does Biden do. He appeases and shows 507 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: weakness to all of them. I still go back to 508 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 1: my theory on this, and I believe one of the 509 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: reasons why the president is just being so weak is 510 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: because he is compromised because the deals that he has 511 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: done in China, and he knows that he can't really 512 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 1: stand up and he can't really say much because if 513 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:05,320 Speaker 1: he actually does, they will bury him, his son, his brother, 514 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: and the Biden crime family. Look at the amount of cash, okay, 515 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: look at all of the dollars that have come in 516 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden. Look at all of the cash that 517 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: has come into Joe Biden's family from China. Look at 518 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: the financial deals, the millions of dollars that have come 519 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: into Joe Biden. When you look at all of this money, 520 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: you have to sit back and say to yourself, Wow, 521 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: maybe they are just totally compromised to the point where 522 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: he can't even stand up to the Chinese Communist government 523 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: when they when they are attacking their own people and 524 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: making people disappear. Now there's one other thing too that 525 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: I want to make sure I get too real quick 526 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: before I run out of time, and that deals with Disney, 527 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: and it goes to the same thing about speaking out 528 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 1: or being silent. Disney decided to get involved in politics. 529 00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: Many of you note they want to indoctrinate your kids. 530 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: They want to LGBTQI everything. They want to make sure 531 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: that there's a quota on how many gay or lesbian 532 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: or transgender bisexual lead roles there are. They just put 533 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: out another big movie that was a flop over the 534 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: weekend that was filled with woke propaganda lgbt QIA plus 535 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: plus plus everything. There were a lot of conservatives who 536 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: decided to stop giving Disney money, stop going to Disney, 537 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: stop buying Disney. Plus. It's worked to the point now 538 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: where they fired their last CEO, hired back the CEO 539 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 1: they have before that, who, by the way, is also woke, 540 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: And now the new old CEO, Bob Eager, is contradicting 541 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: himself over Disney's fight, specifically with Florida. He's now saying 542 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: he expresses regret after earlier denouncing the anti grooming law 543 00:32:53,520 --> 00:33:01,560 Speaker 1: in Florida. Disney's returning CEO had this comey kumbayah a 544 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: moment this week where he's on stage being interviewed. He 545 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: expressed regret that the company got into a fight with Florida, 546 00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: not regret of what they said, just regret that it 547 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,360 Speaker 1: hurt the company over the state's anti grimming law. Telling 548 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 1: Disney's recent employee town hall meeting, he was sorry to 549 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: see us get dragged into it. He also want to 550 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: make clear I wasn't there when that happened. I wasn't there. 551 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: At this town hall on Monday, Eager was asked about 552 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: the business impact of Disney's fight with Florida. I want 553 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: you to hear what he said to say, there's a 554 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: virtual question. Many cast members had wished that Disney stayed 555 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 1: out of politics. Will Disney stay out of making political statements? 556 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: You know? I think there's a misperception here about what 557 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: politics is. And I think that some of the subjects 558 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: that have proven to be controversial as it relates to 559 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: Disney have been branded political. And I don't necessarily believe 560 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 1: they are are. I don't think when you were telling 561 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: stories and attempting to be a good citizen of the 562 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 1: world that that's political. Just not how I view it. 563 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 1: Do I like the company being embroiled in controversy, of 564 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: course not. It can be distracting and it can have 565 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: a negative impact on the company, and to the extent 566 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: that I can work to kind of quiet things down, 567 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: I'm going to do that. But I think it's it's 568 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: important to put in perspective what some of these subjects 569 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:31,040 Speaker 1: are and not just simply brand them political. Yeah, I 570 00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 1: just don't brand them as being political. All right, So 571 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 1: let's go back to when you were political and you 572 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 1: attacked Florida. Right, let's go back to that question. Let's 573 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 1: talk about what you did to your company now. Of course, 574 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: he wants you to believe he wasn't there at the 575 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: time when they were attacking Florida, even though he was 576 00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: on TV attacking Florida. But he wants to say, oh, 577 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: I'm different than that. Oh, Bob, have you give any 578 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: thoughts on how to tackle the Ready Creek situation in Florida? No, 579 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:06,320 Speaker 1: I have to get up to speed on that completely. Obviously, 580 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 1: I followed the news that development occurred after I left 581 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: the company. I was sorry to see us I dragged 582 00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:20,279 Speaker 1: into that battle, and I have no idea exactly what 583 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:25,360 Speaker 1: its ramifications are in terms of the business itself. What 584 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: I can say is the state of Florida has been 585 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 1: important to us for a long time, and we have 586 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: been very important to the State of Florida. That is 587 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 1: something I'm extremely mindful of and will articulate if I 588 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 1: get the chance. But I don't have the details at 589 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 1: all yet about what the ramifications are of the decision 590 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: that was made by the State of Florida and whether 591 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,320 Speaker 1: we intend to do anything about it. I want to 592 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,440 Speaker 1: be very clear, do not take this bait or believe 593 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: that Disney has changed in any way in any capacity, 594 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: because they have not. This the same guy that went 595 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:03,800 Speaker 1: on TV during that time and chastise Florida and said 596 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,919 Speaker 1: he was proud of Disney and what Disney was doing 597 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: in Florida. Yeah, they're trying to put lipstick on a pig. 598 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: They're trying to get the genie, as I would describe it, 599 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 1: back in the box. They're trying to do everything that 600 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,640 Speaker 1: they can to try to get you to believe that 601 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 1: somehow they've learned what they're doing, and they've learned from 602 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,360 Speaker 1: their mistakes, and now they're going to come back better 603 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: than ever, just to be a company that is going 604 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: to help you with their kids. They're not denouncing anything 605 00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: that they've said. Okay, they're not denouncing anything that they did. 606 00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: They are not denouncing anything that they have that they 607 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: are applying. They're not saying they're going to change direction. 608 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: So when you see all of these headlines, oh, Disney's 609 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: losing money and Disney fired their old CEO, don't just say, Okay, 610 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,959 Speaker 1: now I can go back to Disney with my kids. 611 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 1: You're still giving the same scumbags your money.
