Speaker 1: Well, we have come out.
Speaker 2: Your city. I get saying you are confidenz will be
Speaker 2: desire a tale and if you want a little banging, Uni,
Speaker 2: I come along.
Speaker 3: The American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time.
Speaker 4: The tax system as we have it is fundamentally unjust.
Speaker 4: We are speaking about living in the wealthiest city, in
Speaker 4: the wealthiest country in the history of the world, where
Speaker 4: one in four New Yorkers are living in poverty.
Speaker 3: And we are going to have to explore massive judicial
Speaker 3: reform state by state and at the federal level. And
Speaker 3: everything should be on the table. As far as I'm concerned,
Speaker 3: freedom is.
Speaker 5: Back in style. Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 2: To be away, I'm coming to your site. You don't
Speaker 2: want to play against Allas and saying you a conscious song.
Speaker 5: Sean hen New Sean Hennity Show more me. I'm the scenes,
Speaker 5: information on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. I got
Speaker 1: the easy part. Just do the show here in the
Speaker 1: beautiful studios in New York. While Sean is halfway around
Speaker 1: the world. He's in China with the President and reporting
Speaker 1: backgett and all kinds of exclusive interviews. We'll here's some
Speaker 1: of them a little later in the show. It's a
Speaker 1: long trip over there. It's like six thousand hours to
Speaker 1: get there. It's three days in China. It's not a
Speaker 1: lot of fun over there, and then it's like a
Speaker 1: million hours to come back. Now you might be a
Speaker 1: little upset because the President has not tweeted as not
Speaker 1: true social done nothing online for a couple of days.
Speaker 1: That's because when you go to China, you can't take
Speaker 1: your phone, you can't take your computer. The surveillance there
Speaker 1: is brutal, not only total surveillance, they will embed stuff
Speaker 1: in your phone that you can never find or never
Speaker 1: ever get out. So President had to leave everything here
Speaker 1: Sean too. You can't bring your phone, you can't bring
Speaker 1: any device. You have to get a special burner phone
Speaker 1: that you'll throw away as soon as you'll leave. So
Speaker 1: because of that, he can't truth social, he can't do
Speaker 1: any of that. I guess that's good. Take a break
Speaker 1: for a few days. Lots of meetings. You know, I
Speaker 1: knew Donald Trump. He lived right down there, right a
Speaker 1: block from a block from where we're sitting right now.
Speaker 1: His office was a block from there. He was in
Speaker 1: New York. He was having fun and now look what
Speaker 1: he's got. You gotta fly to China, you gotta would
Speaker 1: you like to meet with s for two hours? It
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me. Apparently
Speaker 1: it went well, depends what you read New York Time
Speaker 1: times tensions mount, it's all about how bad. Everybody says
Speaker 1: it went very well. In fact, you know, the best
Speaker 1: signs sometimes of these body language experts. And they got
Speaker 1: this body language expert to go over exactly how it looked.
Speaker 1: And she's a real good body language expert because she
Speaker 1: she's the one the government uses to testify in trials.
Speaker 1: And she analyzed all the footage of Trump greeting, she
Speaker 1: Trump walking with She all this, she said, clearly, Trump
Speaker 1: is king of the jungle, not the least bit intimidated.
Speaker 1: You can tell by all the body language that they
Speaker 1: both respect each other, no intimidation. Trump feels the power.
Speaker 1: You can tell by the way he walks. She says,
Speaker 1: it's like a peacock, like a lion, showing his power.
Speaker 1: He's walking in a straight walk, a military walk. And
Speaker 1: Trump very friendly. You know, it's a very formal thing
Speaker 1: when you meet she But she says Trump is patting
Speaker 1: him on the back, which she says is a power
Speaker 1: move but also an affectionate move. And at some point
Speaker 1: you see she had him on the back as well,
Speaker 1: indicating there's a great connection an affection between these two guys,
Speaker 1: the opposite of other presidents. You know, when Obama went,
Speaker 1: they wouldn't even bring out the stairs for the plane.
Speaker 1: He had to go down at the back entrance of
Speaker 1: Air Force, went down the little baby stairs. It was
Speaker 1: pretty embarrassing. And you can always tell the way you
Speaker 1: gauge what you're greeting is by who's sent to greet you,
Speaker 1: And with Obama, with Biden, it was somebody in the government,
Speaker 1: some government protocol, somebody. With Trump, it was the vice
Speaker 1: president of China. Now she never does this himself, so
Speaker 1: the highest thing they could give you is the vice
Speaker 1: president of China, all the top ministers, officials, they had
Speaker 1: red carpet, literally a red carpet. They had military band,
Speaker 1: they had two hundred kids waving the flag. It was
Speaker 1: pretty impressive, and the meeting went well. It was I mean,
Speaker 1: there were tense moments, and there should be tense about Iran,
Speaker 1: tense about Taiwan. Now, a couple of things have come
Speaker 1: out of it. The word was that China was going
Speaker 1: to start selling weapons to Iran, shoulder fired missiles, other things.
Speaker 1: They would do it through a third country. But now
Speaker 1: you can never trust China to live up to any agreement.
Speaker 1: But apparently they agreed not to sell the weapons to Iran.
Speaker 1: They did pretty well on most things. Now everybody, every
Speaker 1: major cabinet official is on the trip. So hegxith meets
Speaker 1: with his counterpart in China. You know, best meets with
Speaker 1: his counterpart in China. And again it doesn't sound like
Speaker 1: a fun Linda, would you like to have to meet
Speaker 1: with the foreign minister in China for two hours?
Speaker 6: Are you coming with me?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 1: I don't want.
Speaker 6: I think if you and I went together, we'd have
Speaker 6: a good time.
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 6: I think some interesting conversations.
Speaker 1: Again, I don't know why he wanted this job. He
Speaker 1: was having fun here in New York. I watch him
Speaker 1: now every day. You know, he's meeting with the President
Speaker 1: of Peru for three hours. What the heck would you
Speaker 1: say to the President of Peru for three hours if
Speaker 1: you were somewhere and somebody sat him down next to
Speaker 1: this is the President Peru talk to him. What would
Speaker 1: you talk to him about?
Speaker 6: I think he's having some pretty good conversation.
Speaker 1: I mean, well, listen, obviously I'm crazy and he's not.
Speaker 1: He enjoys this, he loves this. And all these guys,
Speaker 1: Steve Witkoff, Jared, they love this. They loved meeting with
Speaker 1: the President of Finland. What the heck would you say
Speaker 1: to the president of Finland? What would you talk to about?
Speaker 7: How did you see that Ge went down the line
Speaker 7: and shook the hands of so many of our cabinet members.
Speaker 6: Pretty big deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, unlike with Biden. Unlike with Biden, and Biden did
Speaker 1: not get that kind of treatment. He also, you know,
Speaker 1: Eric Trump is on the trip. Now, think about this.
Speaker 1: He brings his son, Eric, who's an international businessman. The
Speaker 1: guy is building skyscrapers all over the world. He's running
Speaker 1: a massive business all over the world. Joe Biden brings
Speaker 1: Hunter with him. A crack addict, doesn't work artist. Now,
Speaker 1: not at the time. He had not yet started that
Speaker 1: fake painting career. Now, at the time, he was just
Speaker 1: a crack addict with no job of any kind. And
Speaker 1: obviously Eric, you wouldn't believe where they're building these Trump
Speaker 1: towers there's wanting to buy. There's one. A couple of
Speaker 1: them are going up in countries. I never even heard
Speaker 1: of it, how to look them up. So obviously he's
Speaker 1: looking to do this in China. So it's a good
Speaker 1: business opportunity. Now this is uh and she must appreciate this.
Speaker 1: Here's a guy who builds spectacular skyscrapers for him in
Speaker 1: with Biden. He brings his crack addict son who's and
Speaker 1: Biden says, you know, he just started a hedge fund.
Speaker 1: He'd like you to invest a crack addict who knows
Speaker 1: nothing about a hedge fund. So it's a whole different trip. Now,
Speaker 1: there were some problems. There was apparently a White House
Speaker 1: staffer got trampled by Chinese reporters. A secret service was
Speaker 1: kept out of some event. There was a big clash
Speaker 1: over that. Now here's another problem, although I don't mind
Speaker 1: this one. American journalists were prevented from going places. American
Speaker 1: journalists were prevented from joining the presidential motorcade. It's not
Speaker 1: so bad. These fake news people deserve it. Dust ups
Speaker 1: with the Chinese Americans all upset part of the officials
Speaker 1: to keep a tight hold on their American guests dictate
Speaker 1: coverage of a global news event. US reporters were subject
Speaker 1: to strict controls, including limited access to bathrooms and the
Speaker 1: confiscation of water bottles. It's like eighty five degrees there,
Speaker 1: no water, no bathroom. I think we should bring that
Speaker 1: system here. I think we should use that in this country.
Speaker 1: Do that to these reporters. No water bottles allowed. And
Speaker 1: then when the president departed the meeting, reporters tried to
Speaker 1: follow and they were blocked. I bet the President like
Speaker 1: that too. I don't think he minded that at all.
Speaker 1: They had the big state dinner, beautiful magnificence. You see
Speaker 1: the tables, the chairs, the stuff on the tables, the
Speaker 1: those big things, the covers on the food. It was
Speaker 1: quite impressive. What was the menu? See, I don't think
Speaker 1: I don't think Donald Trump was too thrilled about this.
Speaker 1: Beef ribs, yeah, roast duck and tira massu. Now that's
Speaker 1: not Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a cheeseburger, French fries,
Speaker 1: chocolate cake, No tira massieux. What else did they have? Well,
Speaker 1: they had lobster and tomato soup, stewed seasonal vegetables. I
Speaker 1: don't think Donald Trump has ever heard the words seasonal vegetables.
Speaker 1: It's not for him, slow cooked salmon and mustard sauce,
Speaker 1: pan fried pork bun, and in what was described as
Speaker 1: a trumpet shell shaped pastry. It doesn't sound so great. Now.
Speaker 1: The other good thing is President Trump did a ten
Speaker 1: minute toast and it was pretty impressive. Not just an
Speaker 1: ad lib toast, but it was a really, really well
Speaker 1: written toast. Apparently went through the whole history of Chinese
Speaker 1: American relations and brought up all this stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: your man at of realist. It was Chinese workers that
Speaker 1: laid the railroad tracks back in America that connected the
Speaker 1: Atlantic and Pacific. It was American travelers to China millions
Speaker 1: of years ago that helped spread literacy and modern medicine.
Speaker 1: So he went through the whole thing. President Theodore Roosevelt,
Speaker 1: who provided the funds to build the President She's Alma mata.
Speaker 1: So it was a great ten minute toast. And at
Speaker 1: the end he announced they've agreed President she will visit
Speaker 1: the White House September twenty fourth. So it's a great relationship.
Speaker 1: He's coming September twenty fourth. Now I guarantee you he's
Speaker 1: going to get some real food for once, President Trump
Speaker 1: will have cheeseburgers, French fries, and that great chocolate cake
Speaker 1: that he has. Hey. Even at the ate dinner, they
Speaker 1: had these Chinese musicians play and at some point they
Speaker 1: played Ymca for the president. Now it's just instrumental, and
Speaker 1: it's a Chinese like, a like a very formal, a
Speaker 1: bunch of musicians playing it. Trump revealed earlier that the
Speaker 1: First Lady hates Ymca, hates when he dances to it.
Speaker 1: Can't kant stand to see it. That's okay when he
Speaker 1: does it. Now, they did say again China never sticks
Speaker 1: to any agreements, but they did say that China's agreed
Speaker 1: to help, that they would actually love to help. Between
Speaker 1: the US and Iran. Again, they committed to not sending
Speaker 1: any weapons. Now, you got to remember, Straits of Hormose
Speaker 1: close doesn't really affect us. We don't need any oil.
Speaker 1: We don't get oil from the Straits of Hormus, We
Speaker 1: get nothing from it. China gets fifty percent of its
Speaker 1: oil out of the Strait of Hormus. So it's hurting
Speaker 1: them not so much right now because they have tremendous
Speaker 1: oil reserves. But that's not gonna last that long. So
Speaker 1: they will need, desperately need it reopen. They're also talking
Speaker 1: about them buying oil from America, which has never happened before.
Speaker 1: It's a little tricky though, because if you look on
Speaker 1: a map, a ran is pretty close to a one
Speaker 1: side of China, very close. It's easy to ship it.
Speaker 1: For us to do it from the West coast, it's
Speaker 1: a little tough, believe it or not. We don't have
Speaker 1: enough oil on the West Coast because all those environmentalists
Speaker 1: blocked the building of pipelines for all these years, so
Speaker 1: we don't have the pipelines to get enough oil out
Speaker 1: out to California. That's one reason they're paying seven dollars
Speaker 1: a gallon, because they block the pipelines from coming there
Speaker 1: and bring them the oil that they need. So anyway,
Speaker 1: we've got a lot to get to today. Linda, you've
Speaker 1: been very quiet. What's going on you? Okay?
Speaker 6: Listen? You're on a roll, brother. I mean, you know,
Speaker 6: when the man is in his moment, who am I
Speaker 6: to interrupt?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: That means she's doing something.
Speaker 6: No, do you want to know what I was doing?
Speaker 7: I'm saying, please, that's beneath me, all right, I'm sending
Speaker 7: Jason a copy of the Chinese band playing YMCA as
Speaker 7: President Trump disembarked from the first one, because they actually
Speaker 7: have video of it, and when you first hear it, you're.
Speaker 6: Like, this is this YMCA because it's so formal. Oh,
Speaker 6: but it's pretty funny.
Speaker 1: We can play it on the air, Yes we can. Oh,
Speaker 1: don't go away. We'll get to it coming up. We'll
Speaker 1: get to it coming up. Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Speaker 1: Now Seanson's big exclusive interviews while there, will play some
Speaker 1: of them a little later. Hey, make sure you follow
Speaker 1: me on Instagram. They took away like hundreds of my followers.
Speaker 1: What they said they were bots, Well.
Speaker 6: They're not, I own. Well maybe they were were just
Speaker 6: New Yorkers with attitude. It's the same thing.
Speaker 1: We need them replaced. Follow me on Instagram. Mark Simone
Speaker 1: NYC at Instagram, and make sure you go to Hannity
Speaker 1: dot com. Lots of good stuff up there. We'll take
Speaker 1: some calls. One eight hundred nine to four to one.
Speaker 1: Sean is the number back in a moment.
Speaker 5: You know here at the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1: We want to thrive, economy, border security, and protection of
Speaker 1: our children.
Speaker 3: Now, what else can we come up with pissed off.
Speaker 7: The left, cheapen lots right here for all the latest
Speaker 7: news and information.
Speaker 1: Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Now normally
Speaker 1: you can hear me on our big flagship station WR
Speaker 1: here in New York, or you can get my podcast
Speaker 1: on iHeart. And now the trip to China has been
Speaker 1: going so well. If you're the New York Times, how
Speaker 1: do you attack it? What do you do?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 1: Look at this headline about the summit that shows pictures
Speaker 1: of all the meetings, all the New York Times. Where
Speaker 1: are the women at the Trump she summoned? How come
Speaker 1: all these business leaders are men? I don't know, I
Speaker 1: mean they happened to be. You know, no president has
Speaker 1: more women in higher positions than Donald Trump. You go
Speaker 1: to it's his whole history, his whole life. Trump Organization,
Speaker 1: more women in power than any other company in America.
Speaker 1: You know when he built Trump Tower, that's nineteen eighty five,
Speaker 1: a woman was the project manager. That was unheard of
Speaker 1: in construction in nineteen eighty five. It's going very well.
Speaker 1: And they really went out of their way to They
Speaker 1: knew about YMCA, they knew he loved that song. So
Speaker 1: at the state dinner, they had the very formal Chinese
Speaker 1: musicians play YMCA. Let's listen to it. Sounds like a
Speaker 1: college football marching band.
Speaker 6: I would have so loved it if you did the
Speaker 6: Trump dance. Honestly, it would have been so great.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. If they started playing this, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I'd recognize it.
Speaker 6: It took a minute for sure.
Speaker 1: Oh, now you recognize it. It's getting better. It's getting better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know if somebody if they had released that
Speaker 1: back then, it never would have been a hit.
Speaker 9: I like it.
Speaker 6: I think it's fun. It's like a big ten game.
Speaker 6: I think it's really cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like the Ohio State marching band at
Speaker 1: a football game. It's OK.
Speaker 7: So if you look, I just texted you because you
Speaker 7: hadn't seen this story. But Brett Behar, who does special
Speaker 7: report at six o'clock also on the Fox News channel,
Speaker 7: was out doing his reporting on the streets and with
Speaker 7: his crew, and he was talking about how it's a
Speaker 7: surveillance state. There's cameras everywhere, and literally his guy got
Speaker 7: ticketed while standing there because he was two minutes in
Speaker 7: the wrong spot.
Speaker 1: From he got ticketed by a drone. Right, yes, he
Speaker 1: remind me to talk about this later. Drone tickets that's coming.
Speaker 1: And speed cameras, you know they got them in the cities.
Speaker 6: They are here.
Speaker 1: Speed cameras are about to go on the highways. That
Speaker 1: is not right. You'll have to go fifty five. It's terrible. Hey,
Speaker 1: back in a moment, more on China. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: an expert. It's Mark Simone here for Sean Annity. You
Speaker 1: can't always get what you want, but you can get
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity online at hannity dot com. Hey, welcome back,
Speaker 1: Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Now make sure you
Speaker 1: watch Hannity tonight nine o'clock on the Fox News Channel.
Speaker 1: Big exclusive interview with President Trump after the summit. It's
Speaker 1: the President for about an hour talking about it. So
Speaker 1: don't miss it tonight at nine o'clock on Hannity. We'll
Speaker 1: play a clip or two in a moment. But right now,
Speaker 1: let's talk to the China expert, Gordon Shang, author of
Speaker 1: Plan Red, China's project to destroy America. Nobody knows this
Speaker 1: stuff better. Gordon Chang, How you doing.
Speaker 4: I'm fine, Mark, and thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Hey, And I've talked to people that have been in
Speaker 1: the China negotiations in the past, and they say, no
Speaker 1: matter what China agrees to, they will never stick to it.
Speaker 5: Is that true?
Speaker 4: That's true, and that's unfortunate, you know. And we've seen
Speaker 4: this in a number of different cases. So for instance,
Speaker 4: in the past, the January twenty twenty Phase one trade deal,
Speaker 4: we're trying to agreed to specific purchases of US agricultural
Speaker 4: and manufactured products, really easy to comply with, and they
Speaker 4: completely failed. Also, Boeings, they have agreed in summit's with
Speaker 4: presidents to buy Ballings and then afterwards canceled the orders.
Speaker 4: So this is going to be a challenge for President Trump.
Speaker 4: But Trump is Trump, and I think that he is
Speaker 4: going to be able to force the Chinese to do things.
Speaker 4: So we'll have to see, of course, but I'm optimistic
Speaker 4: that Trump can get the Chinese to comply.
Speaker 1: Well what is the Chinese thinking on that? Well, just
Speaker 1: agree to everything and just never do it. What's the
Speaker 1: strategy there?
Speaker 4: The strategy is deception. This is going to the heart
Speaker 4: of Chinese strategy or millennia, and they feel that they
Speaker 4: can say one thing and people will agree to it.
Speaker 4: They also there's a certain amount of arrogance because they
Speaker 4: believe that they're at the center of the world and
Speaker 4: that everybody else has to pay homage to them. So
Speaker 4: they believe that they don't have to comply with their words.
Speaker 4: And it's just a historical carryover from a very long period.
Speaker 4: Siejimping is also arrogant. He's arrogant beyond belief. Matter of fact,
Speaker 4: today he insulted President Trump in his face in those
Speaker 4: public comments by referring to something an ancient ancient Greek
Speaker 4: theory about a rising power meeting a declining ruling power.
Speaker 4: In other words, he was saying, President Trump, you're the
Speaker 4: leader of a declining power. I don't really have to
Speaker 4: deal with you.
Speaker 1: Now. We all have this illusion that these Chinese are
Speaker 1: the most brilliant. These Chinese leaders are so brilliant. They've
Speaker 1: got a two hundred year strategy. They are light years ahead.
Speaker 1: Is there any truth to that.
Speaker 4: If we go back to the millennial period, Yeah, they
Speaker 4: did think long term, but Simping has been making some
Speaker 4: very short term decisions recently. You know, people say an
Speaker 4: American president thinks in two or four year increments of time. Well,
Speaker 4: Sie jimping. He thinks, I think daily because he has
Speaker 4: an election daily. He's very happy if he wakes up alive.
Speaker 4: So this is a point where the US I think,
Speaker 4: as a leader who thinks in longer term increments because
Speaker 4: President Trump he did something, you know, by dealing with
Speaker 4: Iran that his predecessors just kicked the can down the road.
Speaker 4: Trump said, no, I'm going to do something that's important
Speaker 4: for the American people, even if it's unpopular.
Speaker 1: Now, the other illusion of I guess the narrative is
Speaker 1: that these Chinese leaders are evil. They're like James Pond villains.
Speaker 1: They're plotting to destroy us. Is that true?
Speaker 4: Yes? Oh, those not in the way, for instance, like
Speaker 4: doctor No. But they do believe that their system depends
Speaker 4: upon the destruction of the United States. They do not
Speaker 4: believe that they can coexist if the United States exists.
Speaker 4: And basically because they run a very insecure system, it's
Speaker 4: very top down. They survive on coercion, and they are
Speaker 4: worried about the inspirational impact of America's values and form
Speaker 4: of governance on the Chinese people. So they do not
Speaker 4: believe that their communist party can survive a world in
Speaker 4: which the United States exists.
Speaker 1: Wow, But don't they want the United States to be
Speaker 1: consumers to spend a fortune on Chinese products?
Speaker 4: Well, they would, of course, they want people to buy stuff,
Speaker 4: but they want other Communists to buy stuff, and they
Speaker 4: tolerate us, and you know they understand. Yes, in the
Speaker 4: short term, maybe they want Americans to buy stuff from
Speaker 4: them this month, but they don't believe long term that
Speaker 4: that's the case. And we have seen them in public
Speaker 4: talk about the destruction of the United States. This is
Speaker 4: not only permitted, but it's encouraged narrative. And that tells
Speaker 4: us that we've got a problem because we're not really
Speaker 4: focusing on it, but we can see what the Chinese
Speaker 4: are saying and doing.
Speaker 1: So we're talking to Gordon Shang. Do they respect a
Speaker 1: smooth talking diplomatic a very formal Barack Obama type or
Speaker 1: a blunt, tough Donald Trump type.
Speaker 4: I think that they respect more a blunt person. And
Speaker 4: also Trump is unpredictable, so they do want to give
Speaker 4: him a wide berth. Do they know how to deal
Speaker 4: with tough American presidents and they know how to deal
Speaker 4: with weak American presidents? They don't know how to deal
Speaker 4: with presidents that they can't psych out in advance, and
Speaker 4: somebody that they can't psych out.
Speaker 1: Hey, let's take a listen to cut for Sean Hannity
Speaker 1: interviewing the President after the summit. Take a listen to
Speaker 1: cut for President.
Speaker 9: She would like to see a deal man. Who would
Speaker 9: like to see a deal man? And he did offer.
Speaker 9: He said, if I can be a any help at all,
Speaker 9: I would like to be of help.
Speaker 5: Because I did say that.
Speaker 9: Yeah, he did say that. And look, anybody that buys
Speaker 9: that much oil is obviously got some kind of a
Speaker 9: relationship with him. But he said, I would love to
Speaker 9: be a help if I can be of any help whatsoever.
Speaker 9: He'd like to see the hormos straight open. He said,
Speaker 9: if I can be of any help whatsoever, I would
Speaker 9: like to help.
Speaker 1: Now, Gordon Cheng, is he really dying to help us
Speaker 1: with a ran?
Speaker 4: I don't think Ron has a nuclear weapons program because
Speaker 4: of China, which supplied materials, equipment, technology, either directly or
Speaker 4: both directly and indirectly. And so that's the reason why
Speaker 4: we've got a war in the first place. You know,
Speaker 4: does C. Jimping want the straight up hormos open? Absolutely?
Speaker 4: He needs the oil, not only Iran, but from Saudi
Speaker 4: Arabia and the other Gulf states. So yes, he wants
Speaker 4: the straight open, but I don't know if that's in
Speaker 4: our interest until Iran surrenders its missile and bull and
Speaker 4: it's duke programs.
Speaker 1: And what's the idea here that they China uses Iran
Speaker 1: as a weapon against us, just like Iran uses as below.
Speaker 1: Is that the same thing?
Speaker 4: Yes, Iran is a Chinese proxy. The Moullas don't think
Speaker 4: they're a proxy for anybody, but when you look at
Speaker 4: the relationship, China has used Iran to disrupt the Middle
Speaker 4: East to obtain Chinese prospective objectives, and we see the
Speaker 4: same thing in other places where China works through other
Speaker 4: states and works through terrorist actors to achieve its goals. Yes,
Speaker 4: Iran is a proxy.
Speaker 1: And now what about Taiwan. That seems to be a
Speaker 1: big sticking point here. They absolutely want to take Taiwan right.
Speaker 4: Well, they Sijmping does because he has based his legitimacy
Speaker 4: on the next thing, Taiwan. Others probably don't think the
Speaker 4: same way, or at least to the same degree. But
Speaker 4: for us, it's Taiwan is absolutely critical to our defense.
Speaker 4: So this is going to be a contest where there
Speaker 4: is no compromise, and.
Speaker 1: How do you think it's all going to work out China?
Speaker 1: Does China really have any influence? Can they tell Iran
Speaker 1: open the straight for us? And will Iran do it?
Speaker 4: I think that they can put a lot of pressure
Speaker 4: on Iran that, over a course of time, would force
Speaker 4: the mall is to open up for the IRGC to
Speaker 4: open up the straight, because China, if it withdrew its support,
Speaker 4: Iran would be in a very very the leadership would
Speaker 4: be in a very, very difficult place.
Speaker 1: And bringing all these business leaders, the CEO of Apple,
Speaker 1: of Boeing of all, what does that mean for China?
Speaker 1: They appreciate that.
Speaker 4: I think that they would like to exploit foreign companies
Speaker 4: more c GM pain driving foreign companies out of China.
Speaker 4: He's been doing this for about a decade, but especially
Speaker 4: he intensified his campaign in the spring of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: So I think President Trump should be trying to reduce
Speaker 4: the vulnerabilities of our companies to China, not increasing them
Speaker 4: by having CEOs go to Beijing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're the Chinese expert. Would you say that
Speaker 1: this president has the best relationship of anybody with China?
Speaker 1: All the way back to Nixon.
Speaker 4: What a great question. Probably George H. W. Bush had
Speaker 4: best relationship because he actually gave Beijing what it needed
Speaker 4: at a critical moment, which was right after the Tenement massacre.
Speaker 4: This is not a good chapter in American foreign policy,
Speaker 4: but the Chinese absolutely loved George H. W.
Speaker 1: Bush. Yeah, all right, So now how safe is the president?
Speaker 1: Some people are worried about his safety in China being poised.
Speaker 1: I hear all the people worried that he might get poisoned,
Speaker 1: he might get this. He's safe, there isn't he?
Speaker 4: I think he's safe. The Chinese had been very have
Speaker 4: done some things to American diplomats which we would have
Speaker 4: thought inconceivable. So, for instance, they use sonic weapons on
Speaker 4: the diplomats and the Guangzhou consulate in twenty eighteen nine. Key,
Speaker 4: But I don't think that they would target an American
Speaker 4: president visiting the capitol. That's a little bit too far
Speaker 4: for them. But at some point, I think we've got
Speaker 4: to start thinking in very different ways about the Chinese
Speaker 4: leaders because they're exhibiting some very brazen behavior.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, what about the surveillance. If nobody can bring
Speaker 1: a phone or a computer over there because they'll embed
Speaker 1: stuff in it. How bad is that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's really bad. China runs a near total or
Speaker 4: total surveillance state. They will they'll take capture of your
Speaker 4: phone and any electronic device. So that's why the US
Speaker 4: government and companies advise people not to bring their electronic
Speaker 4: devices into the country.
Speaker 1: And what about Brett Behar is doing a report for
Speaker 1: Fox and he's walking the wrong way on the street,
Speaker 1: or the car is parking the wrong place. Apparently there's
Speaker 1: surveillance cameras, there's drone cameras. He's immediately ticketed. Why are
Speaker 1: they so crazy about that.
Speaker 4: Stuff, Well, because they're scared of their own people do
Speaker 4: run that state. And Brett bear said his driver parked
Speaker 4: in the wrong place and within two minutes on his phone,
Speaker 4: the driver got a ticket. That's how efficient the Chinese
Speaker 4: surveillance state is. So they do run the world's most
Speaker 4: sophisticated coercive state.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but if they're so sophisticated, don't they realize that
Speaker 1: that's a reporter Fox News. Don't worry about it, it's
Speaker 1: not a threat to them.
Speaker 4: Well, the Chinese have threatened that the employees of American
Speaker 4: media companies, so New York Times reporters have been getting
Speaker 4: a really rough time Washington Post, CNN. I mean everybody's
Speaker 4: had a hard time.
Speaker 1: Well, that part we don't mind. But Brett Barre alone. Hey, well,
Speaker 1: Gordon Shang, great stuff is a book? Is plan read
Speaker 1: China's project to destroy America. I just tell us though,
Speaker 1: that that project will not be successful.
Speaker 4: It won't be successful because we're the United for a
Speaker 4: far stronger society. And when we Americans understand the danger,
Speaker 4: nobody can touch us.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, good, good work, and thanks to We'll
Speaker 1: talk again soon. Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 4: Thanks Mark, all right, thank you.
Speaker 1: Who would want to go to this country? You can't
Speaker 1: bring your phone? You can't bring your It's like a
Speaker 1: fourteen what an eighteen hour plane ride without your phone,
Speaker 1: without your computer? You say, why does Trump bring four
Speaker 1: hundred people with him? Because they've got to have something
Speaker 1: to do with us? You imagine that no phone. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next
Speaker 1: one eight hundred and nine to one, Shawn is the number.
Speaker 1: Don't forget to watch Hannity tonight. You'll see the exclusive
Speaker 1: interview with President Trump nine o'clock tonight on the Fox
Speaker 1: News Channel.
Speaker 2: Man for America, great for Edited Faith News said, Jumble
Speaker 2: spends the truth for you and me.
Speaker 5: Sean Hannity, welcome back.
Speaker 1: It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity, who see she's
Speaker 1: in China right now, traveling with the president. Big exclusive
Speaker 1: interview with the President will air tonight on Hannity on
Speaker 1: the Fox News Channel. The number is one eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine four one Sean. But you want me to give
Speaker 1: the real number.
Speaker 7: I need you to give out the real number. So
Speaker 7: the real number is one eight hundred ninety four one
Speaker 7: seven three two six.
Speaker 1: But that's harder to remember. One eight hundred nine four
Speaker 1: one seven three two six.
Speaker 6: Got to say it, sing song. He's seventy three, twenty six,
Speaker 6: seventy three, twenty eight.
Speaker 1: But for twenty years on this show, twenty five years,
Speaker 1: I've been filling in. I'm used to one eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine for one Sean, but one eight hundred nine for
Speaker 1: one seven three two six.
Speaker 6: Spicing it up today it happened.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's take some calls. Let's go to Frank
Speaker 1: in Colorado. Frank, how you doing hi?
Speaker 8: Mark? I got a simple question. Iran's friends with China Russia,
Speaker 8: North Korea. Why didn't they just buy they're nukes from
Speaker 8: these countries? Why didn't these countries why didn't China just
Speaker 8: give it to them?
Speaker 1: Well, China doesn't give out nukes. Nobody gives out nukes,
Speaker 1: nobody sells nukes. But I don't think they care for
Speaker 1: Iran really has a nuke. I think, as Gordon Shang explained,
Speaker 1: they like Iran because it does terrible things to us,
Speaker 1: terrible things to Israel. It funds has below the hooties,
Speaker 1: it screws up the Middle East, and that's what China likes.
Speaker 1: So buke, that's what I say it again.
Speaker 8: And they don't want Iran to get a nuke.
Speaker 1: I don't think they care either way. And if Iran
Speaker 1: got a nuke, it'd be an Iranian nuke, which is
Speaker 1: not exactly state of the art nuclear weapon. It'd be
Speaker 1: a slap together Iranian nuclear weapon. But thanks for calling.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Scott in Georgia. Scott, how you doing, Hey.
Speaker 8: Mark, how are you doing good? You refreshing? I I
Speaker 8: thought Sean Hanley was going to be on, and I
Speaker 8: hate to say I was going to turn it off.
Speaker 1: Hey, Hey, what kind of thing is that to say?
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 8: My question is is if the scenario happened to where
Speaker 8: we opened the straits, let's Europe, they started taking care
Speaker 8: of the rest of Iranian military or anything like that,
Speaker 8: and it got to the point to where us or
Speaker 8: someone was to arm the people of Iran.
Speaker 1: I hear music. You better get to the question.
Speaker 8: Okay, yeah, do you think China would try to arm
Speaker 8: the rest of the regime in Iran?
Speaker 7: Oh?
Speaker 1: Okay, well, thank you. That's a great question. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what it is, but did you figure out that question?
Speaker 1: That's a long question. You sounded very smart asking it,
Speaker 1: but I still can't figure out what what actually means. Hey,
Speaker 1: we coming back in the next hour. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot of great stuff and we'll hear Sean with an
Speaker 1: exclusive interview with Marco Rubio coming up.
