I KNOW FIRSTHAND HOW CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT IT IS THAT WE HAVE A
STRATEGIC AND COHERENT PLAN FOR
HOLDING CHINA ACCOUNTABLE TO ITS
PROMISES AND EFFECTIVELY COMMUNE
CANDIDATING WITH US MODEL OF
STATE-DIRECTED ECONOMICS.
>> THAT WAS PRESIDENT BIDEN’S
PICK FOR TRADE REP KATHRYN TY
WHO HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A
LONGTIME CRITIC OF CHINA, AND
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS SAID HE WILL
NOT IMMEDIATELY REVERSE THE
TARIFFS AGAINST CHINA, OF
COURSE, PUT IN PLACE BY THE
TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.
SO IS HE TAKING A PAGE FROM THE
TRUMP BOOK OF DIPLOMACY?
LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE WITH
2016 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
GOVERNOR BOBBY JINDAL.
GREAT TO SEE YOU, GOVERNOR,
THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
LIKE YOU, BY THE WAY, KATHERINE
TAI COMES FROM AN IMMIGRANT
FAMILY.
SHE WAS BORN HERE, BUT HER
PARENTS WERE FROM TAIWAN.
WHICH, OF COURSE, IS IN MANY
WAYS A SWORN ENEMY OF CHINA, BUT
SHE DID SPEND SOME TIME WORKING
AT A UNIVERSITY IN CHINA, AND
SHE HAS HAD SOME HARD CORE
THINGS TO SAY ABOUT CHINA A AND
ABOUT THE THREAT FROM CHINA.
DO YOU THINK SHE’S A GOOD PICK?
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.
I THINK TIME WILL TELL.
I THINK THE MORE IMPORTANT
QUESTION IS WHAT POSTURE
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S GOING TO TAKE
REGARDING CHINA.
TOO OFTEN HE’S BEEN TOO WILLING
TO TRUST AMERICA’S ADD VERY SAY
OR -- ADVERSARIES.
WITH IRAN IT WAS WE’RE GOING TO
TRUST THEM.
WITH CHINA, TOO LONG TRUSTING
THE W.H.O. AND SIMPLY SAY, WELL,
THEY’VE TOLD US ALL THEY KNOW
ABOUT THE ORIGINS OF THE
CORONAVIRUS, SO TIME’S GOING TO
TELL.
THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT
BIDEN’S GOING TO DO THAT I’M NOT
GOING TO LIKE WHETHER IT’S MORE
SPENDING, MORE TAXES.
HOW HE DEALS WITH CHINA REALLY
IS NOT AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT,
BUT TRULY A LASTING CONSEQUENCE
AND A LASTING -- FOR THE UNITED
STATES --
DAVID: WELL, AND THE BIG
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM, OF COURSE,
IS THE BIDEN FAMILY CONNECTIONS
WITH CHINA FROM HIS SON, FROM
HIS BROTHER, ETC.
WILL THAT IN ANY WAY COMPROMISE
HIS DEALINGS WITH CHINA?
>> WELL, LOOK, IT’S VERY
WORRISOME, YOU’RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
HIS SON, THE PRIVATE EQUITY
PARTNERSHIP HE HAD, IF YOU
REMEMBER DURING THE ELECTION,
THE MEDIA, THE BIG TECH
PLATFORMS WOULDN’T ALLOW FOLKS
TO INVESTIGATE THAT, THEY SHUT
DOWN THAT CONVERSATION.
THEY DIDN’T WANT THE VOTERS TO
HAVE ACCESS TO THAT.
WE’VE NEVER REALLY GOTTEN TO THE
BOTTOM OF THAT.
AND, AGAIN, THIS IS BIGGER THAN
HUNTER BIDEN, BIGGER THAN THE
U.S. TRADE REPRESENTATIVE.
LOOK, THE CHINESE, WHAT THEY’RE
TRYING TO DO IS SAY THEIR
COMBINATION OF STATEMENT
CAPITALISM AND POLITICAL
OPPRESSION OF MINORITY RIGHTS --
WHAT THEY’VE DONE IN HONG KONG,
WHAT THEY’RE TRYING TO DO IN
TAIWAN -- THEY’RE TRYING TO SAY
TO THE WORLD THIS IS A BETTER
MODEL.
WE IN THE UNITED STATES AND OUR
WESTERN ALLIES HAVE TO STAND UP
AND SAY, WAIT A MINUTE, WE’RE
FOR REAL CAPITALISM, NOT STATE
CAPITALISM, REAL MINORITY
RIGHTS, NOT THE REPRESSION OF
RIGHTS.
THIS IS THE FUNDAMENTAL PILL
SOFT CALL STRUG THE OF --
PHILOSOPHICAL STRUGGLE OF OUR
TIME.
AS WE TOOK ON THE COMMUNIST
REGIME AND EVIL EMPIRE, THIS IS
THE IDEOLOGICAL BATTLE THAT WE
FACE TODAY.
DAVID: JOE BIDEN HAS A HISTORY
OF SAYING SOME OF THE RIGHT
THINGS IN HIS RHETORIC, BUT E
WHEN IT COMES TO ACTION, DOING
SOMETHING VERY DIFFERENT.
HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO BE A
GREAT CRETEER -- UNITER, NOW
HE’S PUSHING THROUGH A $2
TRILLION PLAN WITHOUT ANY HELP
FROM REPUBLICANS AT ALL.
I WONDER ABOUT THAT.
I ALSO WONDER, IT’S NOT JUST THE
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, BUT IT’S
CONGRESS.
YOU LOOK AT ERIC SWALWELL AND
HIS ENTANGLEMENT WITH THIS
CHINESE SPY, FANG FANG.
WE NEVER GOT TO THE BOTTOM OF
THAT.
AND I’M ALSO WONDERING ABOUT --
THAT’S ERIC SWALWELL WHEN HE
WAS, WE DON’T KNOW THE EXTENT OF
HIS RELATIONSHIP.
WE’RE TRYING TO FIND THAT OUT,
BY THE WAY, FROM THE FBI, AND
SWALWELL IS STONEWALLING SAYING
THAT HE’S NOT GOING TO COOPERATE
AT ALL.
HOW MUCH LONGER CAN HIS
STONEWALLING LAST?
>> DADE, YOU’RE RIGHT.
NANCY PELOSI NEEDS TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS, WHY IS HE STILL ON
THESE SENSITIVE COMMITTEES, WHY
IS HE GETTING CLASSIFIED
INFORMATION.
BUT YOU’RE EXACTLY RIGHT, THE
POLICIES MATTER.
ARE WE GOING TO CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE ARMS TO TAIWAN, ARE WE
GOING TO STAND UP FOR THE
UIGHURS AND AGAINST THE THEFT OF
AMERICAN E INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY?
NOW, UNFORTUNATELY, EVEN SOME OF
THE GERMAN LEADERSHIP HAS
ADVOCATE WE CAN JUST BE NICE TO
CHINA, IF WE CONTINUE TO
ACCOMMODATE THEM, THEY’LL
EVENTUALLY EVOLVE TOWARDS OUR
STANDARDS AND PRINCIPLES.
THAT HASN’T WORKED OUT.
THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS THEY’VE
STOLEN OUR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY, OUR JOBS, THEY ENGAGED
IN UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICES.
ONE KEY TEST FOR THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IF, ARE THEY
GOING TO REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO
DISCLOSE THE FUNDING WITH THESE
CONFUCIUS INSTITUTES --
DAVID: THAT’S A VERY GOOD
QUESTION.
AND FINALLY, I’VE GOT TO MENTION
THE FACT THAT DICTATOR XI IS NOW
SAYING THEY HAVE ABOLISHED
POVERTY.
WE LOOKED UP THEIR GDP PER
CAPITA -- THAT IS, HOW MUCH
EVERYBODY EARNS -- $10,000 A
YEAR.
AND WE CONSIDER THAT TO BE
POVERTY, $12,000 IS THE CUTOFF
LEVEL THAT WE CONSIDER TO BE THE
POVERTY LEVEL.
SO, I MEAN, YOU KNOW, THEY COME
OUT WITH THIS STUFF, THIS BULL
ABOUT ALL KINDS OF THINGS, BUT
THEY ARE A TOTALITARIAN COUNTRY.
THEY, THEY’RE DOING VERY WELL
ECONOMICALLY, BUT THE PARTY
LEADERSHIP HOARDS THE MONEY
RATHER THAN SPREADS MIDDLE CLASS
ECONOMY.
I JUST WONDER CAN THAT CONTINUE
FOR LONG?
VERY QUICKLY.
>> WELL, IT CAN CONTINUE WHEN
YOU CONTROL THE MEDIA.
XI HAS EVEN MORE CONTROL OVER
THE MEDIA THAT BIDEN -- THAN
BIDEN HAS OVER THE WASHINGTON
PRESS CORPS.
YOU’RE EXACTLY RIGHT.
THEY’VE MADE GREAT ADVANCES BY
STEALING AMERICAN INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY AND JOBS, WE’VE GOT TO
