PROVOCATIONS FROM COMMUNIST
CHINA A SECRET PLOIFGS IN NEW
YORK CITY A SURVEILLANCE
BALLOON SENDING DATA
INFORMATION BACK IN REAL TIME.
AS IT HOVERS AROUND AND ABOVE
OUR MILITARY YOU INSTALLATION,
THAT IS JUST THE, OF COURSE,
TWO THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED
IN THIS LAST TWO WEEKS, NEVER
MIND THE COVID-19 COVER-UP,
AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
THEFT THAT CONTINUES, AS WE
SPEAK.
THE WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS, ON
THESE PROVOCATIONS?
WELL, OBVIOUSLY -- EXCUSE ME
WE HAVE TO TAKE THEM HE
SERIOUSLY, IN A WAY, ARE
CLARIFYING FOR US THAT WE’RE
ENTERING A NEW PERIOD IN WORLD
HISTORY CERTAINLY IN TERMS OF
NATIONAL SECURITY, WE’RE
COMING OUT OF PERIOD WHEN
FOCUSED MOSTLY ON THREAT FROM
ISLAMIC BEING EXTREMISM
TERRORISM, THAT IS NOT GONE.
BUT WE’VE CONTAINED IT. NOW, WHAT WE’RE SEEING AND
NOW, WHAT WE’RE SEEING AND
WE’VE SEEN COMING, IS BACK TO
A TIME OF GREAT POUR REVIVALRY
THE THREAT IS CLOOIRP ON ONE
HAND SO BIG, AND ECONOMICALLY
STRONG, THE OTHER IS IRAN
WHICH IS AN EXTREMEIST, BLG
IDEOLOGICAL THEOLOGICAL POWER
TIME FOR US TO BE TOUGH WITH
THEM BUILD ALLIANCES THE IDEA
THAT CHINA AND IRAN WOULD BE
TARGETING BASICALLY THEIR
CITIZENS, OR NATIONALS WITHIN
AMERICA WITH CHINESEINGS
POLICE STATIONS TEMPTING TO
KILLISH RANNIAN A DISSIDENT IN
BROOKLYN A WHILE AGO
UNACCEPTABLE A VIOLATION OF
SOVEREIGNTY SHOWS WHAT A
BEETLE WE ARE IN WITH CHINA
AND IRAN NOW WE HOPE WILL BE
COLD WARS NOT HOT WARS BUT
THEY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT
WE’RE GOING TO USE ALL OF OUR
STRENGTHEN MILITARILY AND
ECONOMIC TO PUSH THEM BACK.
AND IN A CASE OF CHINA
PARTICULARLY, WE DON’T WANT TO
GET INTO A WAR A HOT WAR, BUT
THEY GOT TO PLAY BY
INTERNATIONAL RULES OF LAW OR
WE’RE GOING TO BE COMPETITORS
AND ENEMIES, FOR THE NEXT
PERIOD OF HISTORY.
>> SO WHAT SHOULD BE THE
RESPONSE THEN?
BECAUSE, FRANKLY, YOU KNOW ALL
THESE PROVOCATIONS HAVE BEEN
MET WITH NO RESPONSE.
FROM THIS WHITE HOUSE, SURE
THE REFER TO TWO INDIVIDUALS
WHO SET UP, OPERATING POLICE
STATION THAT IS ABOUT IT,
BLOOMBERG IS REPORTING, THAT
THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO SIGN
AN EXECUTIVE ORDER, IN COMING
WEEKS WILL LIMIT INVESTMENTS
IN KEY PARTS OF CHINA’S
ECONOMY BY AMERICAN BUSINESS,
NOW, CORPORATE AMERICA HAS YET
TO GET MEMO IN TERMS OF THE
NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES
AROUND CHINA BUT APPARENTLY
THE ADMINISTRATION, HAS BEEN
DEBATING A MEASURE ALMOST TWO
YEARS WANT TO TAKE ACTION
AROUND G7 MEETING IN HAVE MAY
IN JAPAN WHERE THEY ARE HOPING
TO PUT LIMITS ON HOW MUCH
AMERICAN COMPANIES CAN INVEST
IN THINGS LIKE, CHIPS, AND
OTHER TECHNOLOGY QUANTUM
COMPUTING YOUR THOUGHTS.
SHOULD THAT BE HAPPENING.
>> YEAH.
NO -- IT SHOULD BE HAPPENING,
FRANKLY SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED A
WEILL AGO GOING TO BE
DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS COMING
PERIOD OF CONFLICT COLD WAR
WITH CHINA THERE ARE SERIOUS
CHALLENGES THE SOVIET UNION
WAS TO US DURING COLD WAR WHAT
IS DIFFERENT WE ARE TOTALLY
TIED, WITH THEM ECONOMICALLY
IT IS STUNNING LAST YEAR AS
CONFLICT ATTENTION BETWEEN
CHINA AND U.S. ROSE, AND WE
WERE STILL WORKING OUR WAY OUT
OF THE PANDEMIC, WHEN STARTED
IN CHINA, TRADE BETWEEN TWO
COUNTRIES WENT UP.
SIGNIFICANTLY.
AND THEY BENEFIT SOMEWHAT MORE
THAN WE DO WE BENEFIT FROM IT
TOO.
WE WOULD HAVE HURT THEM
ECONOMICALLY WE’VE GOT TO SAY
IF YOU ARE NOT PLAYING CHINA
BY RULES OF THE ROAD, YOU’RE
GOING TO PAY FOR IT WE’RE NOT
GOING TO ALLOW COMPANIES TO
INVEST IN CHINA, AND WE’RE NOT
GOING TO ALLOW YOU TO BUY
THINGS YOU NEED FROM UNITED
STATES WE CAN’T SOUND
UNCERTAIN TRUMPET LET THEM
FEEL THEY CAN CONFUSE US BULLY
US WE ARE GREATEST ECONOMY IN
THE WORLD STRONGEST ECONOMY
STRONGEST MILITARY GOT TO USE
EVERY ELEMENT OF NATIONAL
POWER AGAINST CHINA NOW BEFORE
THEY PROVOKE US INTO A HOT
WAR.
MARIA: YEAH, WHAT ABOUT IRAN?
I KNOW THAT THE SON OF THE
SHAH FORMER SHAH OF IRAN
MEETING OFFICIALS IN ISRAEL,
ANNOUNCE FORMATION OF NEW A
BUMP CAUCUS HE FOCUSED ON
WOMEN OF IRAN THE IRANIAN
CAUCUS FIRST MOVE JOINT
RESOLUTION CON DELLING TEHRAN
OVER RENT POISONING OF
SCHOOLGIRLS IN THE COUNTRY
WHAT IS GOING ON IN TERMS OF
IRAN ITS UPRISING NOW?
>> THAT HE IS AMAZING AFTER
ALL YEARS RADICAL ISLAMIC
GOVERNMENT IN TEHRAN PEOPLE
HAD IT THE WOMEN ARE LEADING
THE REVOLUTION, IN MY OPINION,
SCARING THE REGIME INTO TEHRAN
CRACKING DOWN ON THEM THEY
KILLED PROBABLY MORE THAN 500
OR 1,000 PROTESTS THREATENS
IRANIANS, EVERY AWAY NEITHER I
THINK WE’RE FINALLY GETTING IT
IN U.S. FOR TOO LONG, THE
ADMINISTRATION BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION STILL THOUGHT
WE COULD NEGOTIATE AND
AGREEMENT OVER NUCLEAR
WEAPONIZE WITH IRAN WHICH WE
CAN TRUST YOU CAN’T TRUST THEM
THEY ARE OUR ENEMY THEY WISH
US THE WORST.
AND I THINK, WE’RE NOT TIED TO
THEM IN ANY ECONOMIC WAY.
AS WE ARE TO THE CHINESE.
SO, IN MY OPINION, WE JUST GOT
TO BE, TOUGH, TOUGH, TOUGHER
WITH IRAN.
AND ITS LIKE GOING BACK TO
WHAT I SAID AT THE BEGINNING
GET THIS USING STRENGTH THE
NEXT THING IS A STRENGTH OF
OUR ALLIANCES INCLUDING, EVEN
MIDDLE EAST WITH BIG ARAB
COUNTRIES AND, OF COURSE,
ISRAEL WHICH IS OUR MOST
TRUSTWORTHY ALLY WHEN YOU SEE
IRAN, SAUDI ARABIA AGREEING TO
DIPLOMATIC, IN AGREEMENT
BROKERED BY CHINA, THAT THAT
OUGHT TO REALLY -- GET PEOPLE
THE ADMINISTRATION, ATTENTION.
AND GET THEM TO BUILD OUR
ALLIANCES, TELL CHINA TO GET
THE HECK OUT OF THERE.
