1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people. They're talking obviously about 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,400 Speaker 1: China and this balloon and the fact that we finally 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:11,040 Speaker 1: shot down a spy balloon and now China's threatening us 4 00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: after they invaded our airspace, and how weak our president 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: is ahead of the state of the Union. But there's 6 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,439 Speaker 1: another issue that's come out of that, and this is 7 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: the fact that if you're angry and you're outraged over 8 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: this balloon spying on this country, well, then why aren't 9 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: you really angry and really outraged over China's spying on 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: you on your phone? If you have TikTok. If you 11 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: have TikTok, there is an extremely good chance that you 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: have been spied on and they have gotten virtually any 13 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 1: data they want to get from you off of your phone. 14 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: TikTok is nothing more than a spy apparatus of the 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: Chinese Communist government. Why is it taking so long for 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: us to actually deal with it? And why is it 17 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: that so many Americans are willing to put themselves and 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: their children at risks by using a platform that clearly 19 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: should in fact be banned. If you're upset about this 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: spy balloon, you should be very upset about TikTok. Congressman 21 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: Rocana was on CNBC talking about this spy balloon and 22 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: CNBC apologizing on behalf of the Chinese Communist government. I'm 23 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 1: gonna play that for you because what CNBC is saying is, Hey, 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: no one should really be that upset. No one should 25 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: be really that angry, no one should really be frustrated. Okay, 26 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: so calm down. No one should be that upset over 27 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: what we have witnessed with this Chinese spy balloon, because 28 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: you know, we basically do the same things too. Do 29 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: we send spy planes over China and around China? They say, well, sure, 30 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: we tried to some of the areas. Do we send 31 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: balloons over China? Not that we know of, but this 32 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: is pretty much normal. Maybe Americans shouldn't be that upset 33 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: about China doing this in America. That's actually what CNBC 34 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: is saying. Now, why are they saying this? You can 35 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: figure out any different reason. It could be finances, it 36 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: could be the market, It could be the Chinese in 37 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: general give them intel and information on the markets. Who 38 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: knows what it is. Or it just could be their 39 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: bunch of liberal, woke scumbags at CNBC that are just 40 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: like all the other mainstream media. But I want you 41 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: to hear what the Congressman said in response to this 42 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: Chinese propaganda justifying their spy plane over the United States 43 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: of America, and then hear what he has to say 44 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: about TikTok in response to this consequences, Bro, do you 45 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 1: think it is a Casablanca incident where shocked shocked that 46 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: they're spying on us? I mean, don't we have an 47 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: extensive operations to try to find out what's happening in 48 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: China and what they're doing in the islands that they're building. 49 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: And I mean, we countries do this, don't they should it? 50 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: Should there be a response from US regarding TikTok or 51 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: regarding doing business in China and whether we allow companies 52 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: to do that. But sure, Joe, Look, we understand through 53 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: our satellites we have information about China would be responsible 54 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: for US not to protect American national security. And they 55 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 1: have satellites that they have imaged probably every quarter every 56 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: inch of the United States. But that's very different at 57 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: having a balloon traverse United States airspace and go across 58 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: the entire continental United States. I mean, we don't know 59 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: what was in this balloon or what could be in 60 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: a future balloon. And that's why I think this incident 61 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: is different. I do think it raises serious questions again 62 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: about TikTok. I have raised them, others have raised them. 63 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: I believe there should be a forced sale to an 64 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: American company. You can't just ban something that millions of 65 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: young people are using. But the issues are very serious 66 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: about who's collecting this data, is it being used to 67 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 1: manipulate information to many American young people and has to 68 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: be action reasonable action that the kidrestakes on that. So 69 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: you just had a congressman say and connect the Chinese 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: spy balloon to what's happening with TikTok. Right now he's 71 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 1: saying it's time to force a sale of TikTok. I 72 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: couldn't agree more on that. He's saying, this is a 73 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: company that is just straight up spying on us. Now, 74 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: before I get into more of that, I want to 75 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile real quick. 76 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: If you've got a cell phone, then you need to 77 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: make the switch to the only Christian conservative cell phone 78 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,280 Speaker 1: coming to us y because when you pay your bill 79 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 1: and every time you make a phone call or send 80 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: a text message.

Now Representative our Congressman Stewart has now come 100 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: out saying he wants to protect kids the same way 101 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: that we need to protect kids from alcohol. We could 102 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: also in cigarettes, we can protect them from TikTok. It's 103 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: an emotional heroin. We know how damaging it is on 104 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: children's minds and what they're feeding them. Listen to this 105 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: before you go. So, I want to ask you about 106 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: this new legislation you're set to introduce. It would ban 107 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 1: kids under the age of thirteen from using social media platforms. 108 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: You cite this growing evidence of the link between kids 109 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: using those apps and the negative effect on children's mental health. 110 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if it would be constitutional. What's your 111 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: plan to break through the powerful big tech industry to 112 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: get this past? Oh yeah, I mean we're gonna have 113 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: opposition of this, no doubt. And your comment about constitutionality, 114 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: we think we've written in a such way that it is, 115 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: and of course I want it to be. But oh 116 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: my gosh, Jake, if you're a parent of young children 117 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: now and you see the rise in anxiety and depression. 118 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: We're nearly forty percent of kids between age fourteen and 119 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: twenty four are clinically diagnosed with anxiety depression, and you 120 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: have something like the high twenties who contemplated suicide. And 121 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: we know that there's a direct correlation between social media 122 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: engagement when the average thirteen year old in the United 123 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: States spends nine hours a day on social media. Oh 124 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: my gosh. We protect our kids from drinking and from smoking. 125 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: We don't let them have a driver's license to their 126 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: sixteen can't we protect nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen year 127 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: olds from having their minds wired with this what Chinese 128 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: developed with TikTok, which is just the emotional heroine. And 129 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: we know that it is so and this is bipartisan 130 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: as well. The White House has been speaking on this recently. 131 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: The Surgeon General spoke on it just today. We think 132 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: there's bipartisan effort that can be made here. The Surgeon 133 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: General has spoken on this emotional heroine. Listen to the 134 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: stats that he just said, and I'm going to go 135 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: back through these. Okay, if you're a parent, if you're 136 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: a grandparent of young children now, and you see the 137 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: rise and anxiety and depression where nearly forty percent of 138 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: kids between the ages of fourteen and twenty four are 139 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: clinically diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and you have something 140 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: like that in the high twenties who have contemplated suicide. 141 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: And we know that there's a direct correlation between social 142 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: media engagement when the average thirteen year old in the 143 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: United States of America spends nine hours a day on 144 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: social media. And by the way, Chinese kids aren't spending 145 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: nine hours on these platforms in China. In fact, in China, 146 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: they're very well regulated in China. It's not a free 147 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,599 Speaker 1: for all like it is in America. And this is 148 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: on top of the fact that they apparently are looking 149 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: at your data on TikTok, because this is nothing more 150 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: than a spying apparatus for China. That's what it is, says, 151 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: spying apparatus. So if you're angry, if you are upset, 152 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: okay about this spy balloon, you should be enraged over 153 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: what our government has allowed China to do to infiltrate 154 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: our country and literally your cell phone. This is destroying 155 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: our kids' lives. There's another Democratic representative who has come out, 156 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 1: and the Democratic representative who has come out says, not 157 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: only does TikTok threat and security and families, but it's 158 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: influencing our kids in horrific ways. This is another Democrat Therefore, 159 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: I say this is bipartisan. Listen carefully. So there's the 160 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: military aspect here and the increased conflicts and tensions between 161 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: the two countries. There's also an economic and national security 162 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: conflict that's brewing as well. And I want to get 163 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: you to respond to what Democratic Senator Michael Bennett of 164 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: Colorado said. He's calling on Apple and Google to now 165 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,439 Speaker 1: completely remove TikTok from the app stores, calling it a 166 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: quote unacceptable threat to the national security of the United States. Now, 167 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: previously we had seen TikTok removed from certain government mint devices, right, 168 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: but this is a completely larger, separate move. Do you 169 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: agree with that? Do you agree with that call it 170 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: is a national security threat? Well, look, this is controversial because, 171 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 1: of course a lot of Americans like TikTok, But at 172 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it is a threat to 173 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,960 Speaker 1: our national security. And let me just speak for a 174 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 1: second as a dat I don't want an app that 175 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: steals my daughter's data and influences their behavior on their phones. Now, 176 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: they're too young to have phones right now, but they're 177 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: going to get phones someday soon, and I don't want 178 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 1: a Chinese company stealing their data. That's exactly what TikTok does, 179 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: and so it is a threat not just to our 180 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: national security writ large, but frankly to American families. So 181 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: do you think that Apple and Google should heed those 182 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: warnings and remove TikTok from their app stores. Well, one 183 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: of the things we're going to be discussing on the 184 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: China Committee is how to respond in a comprehensive way 185 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: to all these national security threats, some of which come 186 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: in the form of missiles pointed at time I want, 187 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: some of which come in the form of apps that 188 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,319 Speaker 1: show up on our apps, on the app stores, on 189 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: our phones. And we're going to have to develop a 190 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 1: comprehensive strategy because maybe we should ban TikTok, but then 191 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 1: what happens to the next TikTok that comes along. So 192 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: these actions that Senator Bennett is calling for on TikTok specifically, 193 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: they probably make sense, but let's make sure we have 194 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: a comprehensive policy so that the next app gets dealt 195 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: with as well. This is a Democrat warning parents that 196 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: not only are Chinese, the Chinese government influencing your child's 197 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: psyche in many ways, destroying your child's mind, getting them 198 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: addicted to something that causes harm, depression, anxiety, and twenty 199 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: percent now are dealing with the idea of suicide, but 200 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: they're also stealing your child's data. How much is that worth, right? 201 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: How much is that going to be worth to them? 202 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: A lot? Let's focus for a moment on the state 203 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: of the Union and what the President has got to 204 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: say about China, about this balloon about TikTok. You gotta 205 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 1: understand now he's in a really rough position. I believe 206 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: the presidents clearly compromised because the Chinese Communists have dirt 207 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: on him and his son. They owned them. They gave 208 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: literally over a billion dollars and loans to his son, 209 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: and they did business including ten percent for the big guy. 210 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: We know that ten percent for the big guy. What 211 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: that means, It means ten percent for the big guy, 212 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,239 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. That money was coming from CFE, a Chinese 213 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: communist government. We also know that our strategical reserves were 214 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: sent on a tanker directly to CEFE sibsidiary, this right 215 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: before the president or the midterm elections. We know that 216 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: for a fact. We know that Hunter Biden was making 217 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 1: millions a million of dollars and the Biden crime family 218 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: was making millions and millions of dollars from China. What 219 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 1: do they have on us that our president cannot and 220 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: has not one single time stood up to China so far. 221 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: So the President's going to have to do something. I'm 222 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: gonna state the Union to make you believe, okay again, 223 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: to make you believe that he is standing up to 224 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: Chinese being tough. Why is it that the president won't 225 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: even take on an app? I mean, you got to 226 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: think about TikTok from just the standpoint of it's it's 227 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: a damn app. Why is it the president won't stand 228 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: up on an app? We have leverage, by the way, 229 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: we know we have leverage. How do we know that 230 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 1: we have leverage? We have leverage, folks, because there's a 231 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: massive trade deficit. China needs America more than America needs China. 232 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: Here's a four hundred billion dollar trade deficit with China. 233 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: If you don't believe me, listen to CNBC this morning 234 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,640 Speaker 1: talking about it. Judge. Is based on the public reporting, 235 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: it look like it happened a number of times before. 236 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 1: But the China Committee is going to get a full 237 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 1: briefing from the relevant administration officials so we can get 238 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: the facts. The point is though, that this is unnecessarily 239 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: escalatory for China and they have a lot to lose. 240 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we've got a four hundred billion trade deficit 241 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: with China. That means we have far more leverage. They 242 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: need us to buy things from them. Their economy is 243 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: far more dependent on us. For them to take these 244 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: kind of escalatory measures is not in their self interest. 245 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: And we need to be very very clear that this 246 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: is unacceptable. Four hundred billion dollar trade deficit with China, right, 247 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: they have a lot to lose. So why aren't we 248 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: acting like we have leverage? We actually have four hundred 249 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: billion dollars per year and leverage over China. They need 250 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: us far more than we need them, and we know 251 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: this now. It's not up for debate, it's just the facts. 252 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: So why is everybody acting like China owns us? I 253 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: don't think they own us the country. I think they 254 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 1: own this White House. And the President's gonna have to 255 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: walk into that stay the Union, and the President's going 256 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 1: to have to convince the American people that owe everything's 257 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: just fine. Of course the media is going to help him, 258 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: but the damage is being done. How do I know this? 259 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: Look at the AP headline from today Biden twenty twenty 260 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: four question mark most Democrats say no, thank you. A 261 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: new AP pole shows majority of Democrats now for the 262 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: first time, think one term is plenty for President Joe Biden, 263 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: despite his insistence that he plans to seek reelection twenty 264 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: twenty four. That according to a new poll from the AP, 265 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: Research shows that just thirty seven percent of Democrats say 266 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: they want him to seek a second term. That's down 267 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: from fifty two percent in the weeks before last year's 268 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: midterm election. So what's changed since then? Well, one, you've 269 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: got the Chinese that are owning this country with his spine, 270 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: and that's just the tip of the iceberg. We've got 271 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: the classified documents. We've got the big guy taken ten percent. 272 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: We have more classified documents, and he lied about that 273 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: than there is more classified documents found he lied about that. 274 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: While the Biden has trumpeted his legislative victories an ability 275 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: to quote govern the poll suggests relatively few US adults 276 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: give him high marks on either of those categories. As well. 277 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: Follow up interviews with Pole respondent suggested that many believe 278 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: the eighty year old's age is a liability it's not 279 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: his age so much as his cognitive decline that everybody 280 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: knows is happening. They say. People are focused on his coughing, 281 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: his gaffs, and the possibility that the world's most stressful 282 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: job would be better suited for quote someone younger. I 283 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: honestly think he would be too old, said Sarah Overman, 284 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: thirty seven, a Democrat who works in Edge Raleigh, North Carolina. 285 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: We could use someone younger in office. So as the 286 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: President gives to say the Union on Tuesday, he has 287 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: a chance to confront fundamental doubts about his competence to 288 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: govern the ap rights. Biden has previously leaned heavily on 289 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: his track record to say that he's more than up 290 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: to the task. When asked if he can handle the 291 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: office's responsibility at his age, the President has often responded 292 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: as if he's accepting a dare watch me. But the 293 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: poll numbers are showing now that just thirty seven percent 294 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: of Democrats say President Joe Biden should run for reelection 295 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. That is down from fifty two 296 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 1: percent in October. Part of this is the decline in 297 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: his cognitive decline, right, But the other part of this is. 298 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: I think many Democrats realize this dude is just way 299 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: too compromised with a corruption, the scandals, the classified documents, 300 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: and his family's business. In fact, overall, forty one percent 301 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: approve of how Biden is handling his job as president. 302 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: The polls show similar to ratings at the end of 303 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: last year, and we know how bad the economy was 304 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: the end of last year and gas prices were through 305 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: the roof. A majority of Democrats still approve of the 306 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: job Joe Biden is doing as president, yet their appetite 307 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: for a re election campaign has slipped significantly, despite his 308 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,199 Speaker 1: electoral track record. In fact, only twenty two percent of 309 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: US adults overall say he should run again. That's down 310 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 1: from twenty nine percent who said before last last year's 311 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: midterms that he should run again. The decline among Democrats 312 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: saying Biden shouldn't run again for president also appears concentrate 313 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: among young people. Young Democrats ages forty five and over, 314 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: forty nine percent excuse me, say Biden should run for reelection, 315 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: nearly as many as the fifty eight who said he 316 00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: should run in October, but among those at five and under, 317 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: only twenty three percent of Democrats now say should run 318 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: for reelection forty five is what they said before the midterms. 319 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: So they don't like him, they don't trust them, they're 320 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: ready to be done with him. Now. This also goes 321 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: back to the scandals. How does this president overcome the scandals? Look, 322 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: the media is trying to help him, There's no doubt 323 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: about it. Give you another example of that. Bart Jansen, 324 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: who is a writer for USA Today, actually put out 325 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: this article and this headline in the USA Today paper 326 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: quote Hunter Biden's arts dealer says his work is important period. 327 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: Why the painting's factor into the GOP probes? Again, that's 328 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 1: the media trying to cover for Hunter Biden in the 329 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: corruption at the White House. Hunter Biden's paintings have drawn 330 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: the eye of House Republicans, but not for the art. 331 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: The House Oversighting Accountability committees want to know who bought 332 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: the art and how much they paid. After list prices 333 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: initially range from a half a million dollars and upwards. 334 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: The chairman called the figures exorbitant for a novice artist, 335 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: in question whether it amounted to influence pedaling over federal policy. 336 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: But the White House create a policy for the dealer 337 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: to set prices without President, Joe Biden or his sons 338 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: knowing the buyers. George Burrest, the New York gallery owner 339 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: who put these art exhibits together and arrange the sales, 340 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,119 Speaker 1: defended Hunter Biden and predicted he would be one of 341 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: the most consequential artists in this century. So a crackhead, 342 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: prostitute loving dude who can't even give his own kid 343 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,360 Speaker 1: his own last name, we're supposed to believe now, who 344 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: didn't even know if the laptop was his, who says 345 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: there maybe another laptop out there that the Russians got 346 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: from him. With the hookers he was doing and the 347 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: human insects trafficking he was involved in, they now want 348 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: you to believe that he is going to be again. 349 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden would be one of the most consequential artists 350 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: in this century.

Representative 383 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 1: James Comer, the Oversight Committee chairman, question whether Hunter Biden 384 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: was peddling influence to Forden adversaries by using high value 385 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: art to evade US sanctions. With prices on his work 386 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: were initially listed up to half a million dollars and 387 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: now ranging from fifty five thousand to two hundred and 388 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: twenty five thousand dollars apiece. The Committee asked for documents 389 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: showing communications with a White House about any art, how 390 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: the prices are set for the art, who attended Hunter 391 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 1: Biden's art shows, and who bought the paintings. This as 392 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: there's been rumors and word that many of these art 393 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,399 Speaker 1: paintings may have been bought from people in you guessed 394 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: at China. Now the Committee has made it clear what 395 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 1: they want to do is they want to question Hunter 396 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: Biden's art dealer. Forget Hunter Biden, we want to talk 397 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 1: to the art dealer. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability 398 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: is investigating President Joe Biden and his family's foreign and 399 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: domestic influence peddling schemes. James Comer wrote to Burgess requesting 400 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 1: a transcribe interview by February the fifteenth. Despite being a 401 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 1: novice artist, and that's what he is, Hunter Biden has 402 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: received exorbitant amounts of money selling his artwork. The buyer's 403 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: identities remain unknown, and you appear to be the sole 404 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: record keeper of these lucrative transactions. The letter from Congress 405 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 1: says to Hunter Biden's good buddy, who's selling the living 406 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: snot out of this artwork. Burgess told USA Today he 407 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: couldn't comment on the Commiss's requests, but he said he's 408 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: strived to maintain the integrity of artists and the privacy 409 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: of art collectors, saying this more to USA Today than 410 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: he said to Congress. I know that there's a lot 411 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: of politics involved at the moment, which is a shame, 412 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: because his work is not only good, it's important Hunter 413 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: Biden will become one of the most consequential artists in 414 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 1: the century because the world needs his art now more 415 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: than ever. The dealer says, now, by the way, the 416 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: dealers making a crap ton of money off Hunter Biden. 417 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 1: This is a brilliant move for him. Right. Burgess, the 418 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: art dealer, said he began working with Hunter Biden before 419 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: his father was nominated to become president. Burgess prays Hunter Biden, 420 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: who'll struggled with drug addiction for his art, reflecting perseverance 421 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: and rising up from after a fall. Seriously, the White 422 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: House policy is still consistent. They claim, we are distancing 423 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: ourselves the President from his son's art career. In fact, 424 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: the White House announcing July of twenty twenty one, after 425 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: questions grew about the art sales, that Joe and Hunter 426 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't know who was buying their son's art because all 427 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: sales will be handled through the gallery. That's supposed to 428 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: be enough for all of us to be happy. Right, 429 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: That's what they're saying. Quote, we believe this is a 430 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: reasonable system that's been established that allows for Hunter Biden 431 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: to work in his profession with appropriate safeguards. Now, if 432 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: you think about the way that they've set up this 433 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: art dealing, it's actually perfect for Hunter Biden. He can 434 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: take bribes from people around the world and no one 435 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: knows who's bribing him, and they can say, oh, We're 436 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: not being bribed because he's a novice artist. It's getting 437 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: a half million dollars for a painting and maybe even more. 438 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 1: And the White House says, oh, we've we've insulated ourselves, 439 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: we've safeguarded ourselves, we've protected ourselves, right, We've done everything 440 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: we can to make sure that we're good, to make 441 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: sure everything's gonna be okay. There's no problems here, there's 442 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: no issues here, there's no you know, corruption here. We're 443 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: really fine, Like everything is okay. Seriously, this is now 444 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 1: what we're looking at. This is now where we are. 445 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 1: I want you to go back to what Donald Trump 446 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 1: had to say for just a moment about Hunter Biden's artwork. 447 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 1: And this was last year, and like I think it 448 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: was in October when he was asked this by Judge 449 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 1: Jannine and Fox listen talking about Hunter Biden and a 450 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: special counsel. This week, Mark Harland was asked again about 451 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: whether or not he would appoint a special counsel to 452 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: investigate Hunter Biden. Again. Hunter Biden, who couldn't get his 453 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 1: art so called art listed in any gallery until his 454 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 1: father became president, now selling at the same prices as 455 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: a money or a dega, no special counsel, not edith. 456 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: I think that's the least of it. But the art 457 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: is so terrible. So he's getting a half a million 458 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: dollars a painting, and I was seeing that a Monee 459 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: was less. Okay, it's it's such a terrible city situation, 460 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,439 Speaker 1: and we're not going to learn who the buyers are. 461 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: Should I buy one? But is it give me great 462 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: access to the way They say that they're they that 463 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: there's a there's a wall. They have no idea, but 464 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 1: there are people who are actually coming to the exhibits. 465 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: So first of all, the concept of it is ridiculous. 466 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,359 Speaker 1: And you said you couldn't get in the past. I 467 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: don't think he ever painted before. I think he just started. 468 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: So he's learning by the numbers. And let me tell you, 469 00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 1: I believe that as bad as that is, it's it's 470 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: peanuts compared to other things. Okay, but it's so obviously horrible. 471 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: I've had people say that's a terrible thing. That is 472 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: a terrible thing. What's going on? And they're getting numbers 473 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: like nobody has a lot of money. Nobody's getting In fact, 474 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about opening up my own gallery. I'm giving 475 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: it yeah, you're going to charge I think a couple 476 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: of million dollars of paintings go to paint. I'll paint 477 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: whatever the hell I have to paint. You get two 478 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: million dollars, mister President, thank you so much for having it. 479 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: I mean he's joking, but he's not joking, right, I mean, 480 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: if that dude's getting a half million, I could paint 481 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: whatever I want. I should be worth two million. Right. 482 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: If there's a painting that and I get my hands 483 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: on it, like, let's go. This is like finger painting 484 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 1: for millions. Don't tell me he's buying it, so then 485 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about there's influence. That's that's 486 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: also the joke here, right, That's that's the humorous part here, 487 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:27,720 Speaker 1: the part that will make you laugh. It's not a joke. 488 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: These are the things that this administration is going to 489 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 1: have to overcome. This is why the American people have 490 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: lost all faith in this administration. You cannot trust them 491 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: on China.
