YORK TOUGH TO DO.
>> YEAH.
IT IS.
[LAUGHTER] INTERESTING CHINA’S
MILITARY CLAIMING THAT IT HAS
COMPLETED DRILLS AROUND
TAIWAN, SAYING THAT ITS READY
TO DEFEAT ANY FORM OF TAIWAN
INDEPENDENCE, AND FOR EARN INTERFERENCE ATTEMPTS 70
INTERFERENCE ATTEMPTS 70
CHINESE WARPLANES 11 WARSHIPS
AROUND TAIWAN, JOINING ME
CHIRON SKINNER WELCOME BACK.
>> I WANT YOUR TAKE ON CHINA
THREAT HOW DO YOU SEE IT?
>> IT IS GLOBAL, YOU JUST
DESCRIBED THE LATEST
ACTIVITIES THREE DAYS OF
COMBAT DRILLS, ALONG THE
TAIWAN STRAITS, IT IS
EVERYWHERE.
PRESIDENT XI WAS GRAND
AMBITIOUS TO BE PEACEMAKER BUT
ALSO GLOBAL AGGRESSOR IN
ADDITION TO HE AMBITIONS IN
INDO-PACIFIC CLEAR HE RECENTLY
PLAYED THE ROLE OF PEACEMAKER
BETWEEN IRAN, AND ISRAEL,
SAUDI ARABIA, TRYING TO BE IN
MIX EVERYWHERE HE HAS, A
STRONG FOOTHOLD, IN THE
WESTERN HEMISPHERE, THROUGHOUT
LATIN AMERICA, ALL KINDS OF
TRADE DEALS CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS, SAME ON AFRICAN
CONTINENT, THE UNITED STATES,
PRIMARILY THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, IS STRUGGLING
TO UNDERSTAND, THAT THEY’RE
NOT IN 20TH CENTURY WITH CHINA
ANYMORE, IT WAS JUST A FEW
DAYS AGO, THAT HOUSE SPEAKER
MCCARTHY WAS LEADING HISTORIC
MEETING, IN HISTORIC MOMENT AT
A REGULAR LIBRARY BIPARTISAN
DELEGATION HAVING DISCUSSIONS
WITH THE PRESIDENT OF TAIWAN,
ABOUT ENHANCED MILITARY
COOPERATION ISSUE OF
SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS THAT
ARE SO VITAL FOR THE UNITED
STATES, AND THE WEST, GREATER
PROMOTION OF DEMOCRACY WHERE
IS WASHINGTON?
WHERE IS THE WHITE HOUSE IN
THESE DISCUSSIONS?
THEN ACROSS THE ATLANTIC YOU
HAVE A VERY DIFFERENT -- ON
CHINA, THAN WHAT U.S. WOULD
WANT, DURING HIS SUMMIT IN
BEIJING, DID HE PRESSING.
>> IT IS DID HE DISCOURAGING
WHERE BUSINESS WHITE HOUSE IN
ALL THIS WHITE HOUSE REFUSES
TO PUSH BACK ON PROVOCATION
FROM A BALLOON TO TRAVERSE THE
COUNTRY TO TIKTOK THE THEFT OF
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TO ALL
YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT IN TERMS
OF THEED PROVOCATIONS AROUND
TAIWAN A PEW RESPECTFUL POLL
FINDS HALF MILLIONAIRES TO NOT
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN BIDEN’S
ABILITY TO DEAL WITH CHINA
WHERE IS THIS GOING?
WE ARE EVEN NOW WORRIED ABOUT
THE DOLLAR, AND ITS GLOBAL
RESERVE STATUS BECAUSE THE
CHINESE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
COINCIDENCE THE SAID TOYS DEAL
IN YUAN, BRAZILIANS TO USE
REAL, NOT USE THE DOLLAR AS
THE RESERVE CURRENCY DOES THIS
CONCERN YOU?
>>, OF COURSE, IT DOES.
AND I BELIEVE, THIS -- RLT
GREAT PEOPLE IN BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, FOREIGN POLICY
ECONOMIC POLICY COMMUNITY,
THEY HAVE SERVED IN PRIOR
ADMINISTRATIONS I THINK USING
WRONG PARADIGM I DON’T KNOW
HOW MUCH CHINA HAS TO HIT THEM
OVER THE HEADED BEFORE THEY
REALIZE THAT WE ARE IN AN
UNPRECEDENTED GLOBAL
CHALLENGE, ONE THAT WE DID NOT
HAVE, WITH THE SOVIET UNION IT
HAD WARSAW PACT A COALITION OF
NATIONS, CHINA ALL OVER THE
GLOBE AS ECONOMIC POLITICAL
MILITARY STRATEGIC CULTURAL
COMPETITOR I DON’T THINK
DEMOCRATS WANT TO UNDERSTAND
THIS IS THE WORLD WE ARE IN,
AND THEY DON’T HAVE
INTELLECTUAL TOOLS TO SHIFT
GEARS, SO, WHEN THE BALLOON
WAS TRAVELING ACROSS AMERICAN
SKY WAYS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO,
LEADERS MEETINGS WITH CHINESE
CANCELED NOW BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS PLEADING
WITH ZHAO FOR MEETINGS.
THAT IS NOT WHERE YOU WANT TO
BE TO SPEAK TO PEW POLL IT
DOESN’T GIVE AMERICANS
CONFIDENCE, IN LEADERSHIP WHEN
TWO MONTHS AGO, THEY DIDN’T
WANT TO MEET WITH CHINESE, NOW
THEY DESPERATELY DO, YOU NEED
AMERICAN LEADERS, SECRETARY OF
STATE, THE PRESIDENT, MEETING
WITH XI, BECAUSE HE IS THE
POWER IN THAT COUNTRY.
YOU NEED CONSTANT
COMMUNICATION, THERE IS VERY
LITTLE.
>> NOT TO MENTION MONEY TAKEN
BY BIDEN FAMILY FROM CHINESE
COMPANIES.
I MEAN CORPORATE AMERICA ALSO
HAS A ROLL HERE, THEY
OVERSIGHT COMMITTEE HAS
SUBPOENAED BANK RECORDS FROM
THE MAJOR BANKS, BUT YOU ALSO
HAVE INVESTORS BUYING INTO
CHINESE COMPANIES THAT ARE
TIED TO THE U.S. MILITARY.
WHY WOULDN’T THEY BUY THOSE
STOCKS?
IT ALL HAPPENS FROM THE TOP.
AN BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
NOT PUT IN ANY LIMITATIONS IN
TERMS OF BUYING COMPANIES THAT
MAY VERY WELL, ULTIMATELY TURN
AGAINST AMERICA.
>> YEAH, I THINK THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS KIND OF
DANCING AROUND EDGES ON ISSUES
OF POLITICAL ECONOMY THAT YOU
JUST MENTIONED, AS RELATES TO
CHINA FOR I DIDN’T
UNDERSTANDIO PACIFIC ECONOMIC
FRAMEWORK PUT FORTH LAST YEAR,
SOUNDS GOOD, 12 ASIAN NATIONS,
OF THES COMING TOGETHER ON
ECONOMIC COORDINATION CLIMATE
CHANGE ISSUES THIS
ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTED
TO.
THERE IS A LOT THERE
REPUBLICANS AND OTHERS CAN
AGREE WITH, BUT IN DETAIL, NOT
MUCH IS HAPPENING, AND THERE
IS NO SENSE OF A GRAND
STRATEGY BEING DEVELOPED.
AROUND THE -- NOT JUST CHINA
IT IS ALSO RUSSIA, IRAN, THIS
IS A VERY DIFFICULT PERIOD,
AND DONALD TRUMP REALLY KEPT
ALL OF THESE AT BAY I THINK
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION HAS
BUT THE MORE EMPHASIS ON
UNRAVELING THE SUCCESS OF DORN
DON’S EFFORTS THAN COMING UP
WITH THEIR OWN ALTERNATIVES.
>> THEY HATE HIM O WITH A
PASSION, BUT YOU MENTIONED
RUSSIA THE DEPARTMENT OF
JUSTICE IS INVESTIGATING,
IMAGES POSED ON CHAT WIN
DISCORD APPEARS HIGHLY
CLASSIFIED PENTAGON DOCUMENTS
ON WAR ON UKRAINE OTHER
FOREIGN AFFAIRS SOME
REPORTEDLY DETAIL WEAK
NECESSARYNESS UKRAINIAN ARMY,
TELL US ABOUT IMPACT ON
AMERICA ON WORLD STAGE.
>> WELL MANY PEOPLE WERE
CELEBRATING YOU KNOW EASTER,
AND THE WEEKEND, THE HOLIDAYS,
THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AND
PENTAGON WERE BUSY TRYING TO
MAKE SENSE OF THESE DOCUMENTS.
NOT THE SCALE OF WIKI LEAKS
YOU DON’T NEED THOUSANDS TO
REVEAL HIGHLY SENSITIVE
INFORMATION OFTEN WHEN YOU SEE
LEAK LIKE THIS, IT IS WELL
THOUGHT THROUGH, AND
COORDINATED, SOMEONE IS TRYING
TO CONVEY TO AT THE LARGER
PUBLIC, THAT THERE IS A
PROBLEM.
THAT THERE IS A LEADERSHIP
FAILURE, AND SO WE DON’T KNOW
ALL DETAILS YET I WANT TO BE
CAREFUL, BUT I HAVE SEEN OVER
20 YEARS OF WORKING WITH
PENTAGON, THAT LEAKS OF
DOCUMENTS LEAKS MORE BROADLY
ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A BIG
ARGUMENT, AND I JUST WONDER
WHAT WE’RE THIS REVEALS NOT
JUST TALKING CHINA THE U.S.
EVER MORE INVOLVED IN THE
UKRAINE CONFLICT YOU WONDERR
WHEN AND WHERE AMERICAN PUBLIC
CAN ENTER THERE IS NO ATTEMPTS
TO HAVE A DISCUSSION BY OUR
LEGISLATORS INCLUDING
REPUBLICAN ONES JUST ABOUT HOW
INVOLVED WE HAVE BECOME IN
UKRAINE, AND EUROPEAN
SECURITY.
AND THE LEAKED DOCUMENTS
REALLY I THINK PUT THAT INTO
SHARPER FOCUS.
MARIA: THIS IS SUCH AN
