>> DID YOU TALK ABOUT THE
CHINESE PROTEST, SIR?
>> Harris: THE MINORITY LEADER
AND SOON TO HAVE A MAJORITY IN
THE HOUSE, KEVIN MCCARTHY THERE
FOR REPUBLICANS, GIVING A FULL
NEWS CONFERENCE THERE WITH SO
MANY, SO MANY QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS FROM HIM.
THAT WAS ON THE HEELS OF THE
LEADERSHIP PRESENTLY AND THE
SENATE AND HOUSE.
CHUCK SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI
RESPECTIVELY, THEY HAD JUST ALL
COME OUT OF A MEETING ALONG WITH
SENATOR MCCONNELL FOR THE
REPUBLICANS, WITH PRESIDENT
BIDEN.
WE HAD BEEN TOLD THAT MEETING
WOULD BE HANDLING THE LAME DUCK
SESSION OF CONGRESS, WHICH
HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND JANUARY
YOU HEARD KEVIN MCCARTHY TALK
ABOUT THAT WHEN REPUBLICANS TAKE
OVER THE HOUSE.
WHAT THEY ARE IN FACT DOING
TODAY INSTEAD IS TRYING TO SOLVE
THE RAIL STRIKE THAT THE
PRESIDENT HANDED THEM BECAUSE HE
COULDN’T GET THE JOB DONE.
THAT GAVE A OPPORTUNITY THEN FOR
KEVIN MCCARTHY TO BE ASKED A
WHOLE HOST OF QUESTIONS, JUST AS
THEY HAD OF THE DEMOCRATS.
LET’S GET STARTED NOW.
THIS IS OUTNUMBERED, I’M HARRIS
FAULKNER WITH EMILY COMPAGNO AND
CARLEY SHIMKUS, KENNEDY, AND
JASON CHAFFETZ.
JASON, I COME TO YOU FIRST ON
THIS.
THAT WAS A LOT FOR KEVIN
MCCARTHY TO TALK ABOUT.
HE’S GOING TO START WITH THE
BORDER, SOMETHING WE TALKED
ABOUT LAST HOUR IN THE FAULKNER
FOCUS.
>> Jason: YEAH, KEVIN MCCARTHY
DID HIMSELF WELL IN HIS RUN TO
BECOME SPEAKER BECAUSE THAT WAS
AS GOOD AS KEVIN MCCARTHY
HITTING A WHOLE ARRAY OF
SUBJECTS.
THE BORDER CONTRAST WHEN YOU
TALK ABOUT THE NEED AND
IMPERATIVE AND WHAT HE SAID AT
THE VERY END, YOU KNOW, THE
ADMINISTRATION WANTS TENS OF
THOUSANDS OF IRS AGENTS AND HE
TALKED ABOUT THE IMPERATIVE OF
NEEDING TO SUPPORT THE BORDER
AND THE BORDER PATROL AGENTS,
AND THE FACT THAT JOE BIDEN IS
STILL NEVER GONE TO THE BORDER.
IT JUST -- THEY CANNOT KEEP
TALKING ABOUT THAT ENOUGH.
HE DOESN’T UNDERSTAND THE
PROBLEM AND IT IS A MASSIVE
PROBLEM.
THIS SPENDING BILL THAT IS
BEFORE CONGRESS, ONLY GOT ONE OR
TWO QUESTIONS FROM THE MEDIA
ABOUT THAT.
WE DON’T HAVE SPENDING IN PLACE.
WE HAVE THIS RAIL STRIKE, YOU
KNOW, YOU KNOW WHAT, I JUST GOT
TO SAY THIS, THIS IS WHY AMERICA
HATES THE NATIONAL MEDIA.
THREE QUESTIONS ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP MEETING WITH [INAUDIBLE]
AND WHOEVER THAT WHITE --->>
Harris: THEY WANT CLICKS ON
THEIR SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> Jason: BEFORE TALKING ABOUT
THE RAIL STRIKE AND BORDER AND
ALL THIS, THEY GOT TO TALK ABOUT
DONALD TRUMPED.
THIS IS WHY WE HATE THE NATIONAL
MEDIA.
>> Harris: AND THE IRONY TO
ME, CARLEY, WITH REGARD TO THE
RAIL STRIKE AND I CALLED IT A
BIG PILE OF STEAMING POO LAST
HOUR ON THE FOCUS BUZZ THE
PRESIDENT IS COZY WITH THE
UNIONS AND MIGHT HAVE HAD A
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY THIS IS HOW
WE CAN SOLVE IT AND GET THROUGH
CHRISTMAS SO WE DON’T HAVE
CHOKED UP SUPPLY CHAIN LINES
CONSIDERING ALL THE PROTESTING
THAT’S GOING ON IN CHINA.
HE MIGHT HAVE HELPED US TO
CONTROL OUR OWN DESTINY.
INSTEAD HE WENT OKAY, LAME DUCK
CONGRESS, YOU SOLVE IT.
>> Carley: WELL, BEFORE THE
MIDTERM ELECTIONS AND HE TOOK
THE VICTORY LAP ON THE RAIL
STRIKE SAYING EVERYTHING WILL BE
GREAT AND DON’T WORRY.
>> Harris: WAS THAT FAKE?
>> Carley: TURNED OUT NOT TO
BE TRUE AND IT’S ALL COMING TO A
STREAMING HALT AND HE WAS VERY
QUICK BEFORE THE MIDTERMS TO
TAKE THE VICTORY LAP SAY THAT
THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION WORKED
WITH THE RAIL UNIONS AND
EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.
THEN AFTER IT ALL STARTED TO
CRUMBLE, HE WAS SAYING WELL, I’M
NOT APART OF THE NEGOTIATIONS
ANYMORE.
I’M LETTING MY ADMINISTRATION
HANDLE IT.
HE REALLY DISTANCED HIMSELF FROM
IT.
I THOUGHT IT WAS INTERESTING THE
LAST TIME CONGRESS GOT INVOLVED
IN A RAIL UNION STRIKE WAS IN
1992 OR 1996 AND THERE WAS SIX
SENATORS TO VOTE AGAINST
CONGRESSIONAL ACTION TO STOP THE
STRIKE, AND ONE OF THEM WAS THEN
SENATOR JOE BIDEN BECAUSE HE’S
UNION JOE, BUT IT’S MUCH
DIFFERENT WHEN YOU’RE THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AND THIS STRIKE COULD COST
$2 BILLION TO THE ECONOMY EACH
DAY.
>> Harris: I WANT TO GET TO
THE BORDER CAUSE THAT’S WHERE
MCCARTHY STARTED AND KIND OF
WHERE HE ENDED.
SENATOR MARSHA BLACKBURN ON THE
GREAT STATE OF TENNESSEE LAST
HOUR WAS TALKING ABOUT TITLE 42
GETS WIPED AWAY AND VENEZUELAENS
ARE WAITING AND DOING BATTLE
WITH MEXICAN POLICE TRYING TO
MAKE THEIR WAY IN TO THIS
COUNTRY.
THEY WANT TO JUST SETTLE IN
THOSE CAMPS UNTIL DECEMBER 21ST.
WATCH.
>> YOU’VE GOT THOSE APPREHENDED
AND YOU HAVE THE GOT AWAYS,
KNOWN GOT AWAYS AND THEN THE
UNKNOWN GOT AWAYS THAT ARE
FLOODING INTO THIS COUNTRY.
LOCAL ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE
SAYING PLEASE HELP US WITH THIS.
IF YOU’RE NOT GOING TO DEFEND
THAT BORDER, GIVE US THE
RESPONSIBILITY, LET US
APPREHEND, LET US DEPORT, LET US
TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE IN OUR
COMMUNITIES AND TITLE 42 ENDING
IN DECEMBER, THIS IS SOMETHING
THAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING, YOU HAVE
TO KEEP THIS IN PLACE.
>> Harris: EMILY.
>> Emily: RIGHT, AND THIS
ADMINISTRATION WAS ARGUING
VIGOROUSLY IN COURT AGAINST
THAT.
THEY WERE ARGUING AGAINST THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, AGAINST THE
SECURITY OF OUR SOUTHERN BORDER,
AGAINST PROTECTING MIGRANT
SAFETY AS WELL BY SAYING, NOPE,
WE’RE GOING TO DO AWAY WITH IT.
IT REMINDS ME OF THE CONCEPT OF
THE SORT OF COMMUNITY PROPERTY.
IF YOU HAVE THE COMMUNITY
GARDEN, THEN IT JUST SORT OF
GETS LAID TO WASTE.
BUT IF YOU OWN SOMETHING, THEN
YOU TAKE CARE OF IT AND I FEEL
LIKE UNDER PRESIDENT BIDEN’S
WATCH FOR SOME REASON, PERHAPS
IT’S THE LAND OF THE PEOPLE.
EVERYTHING HAS JUST GONE TO
WASTE.
THE SOUTHERN BORDER, LET ME GET
THIS STRAIGHT, SO WE ARE TAKING
HIGHLY SPECIALIZED, HIGHLY
TRAINED AIR MARSHALS THAT ARE
FOCUSED ON TRANSPORTATION,
SECURITY, AND COUNTER TERRORISM
AND HAVING THEM SWEEP THE FLOOR
AFTER MIGRANTS.
WE’RE HAVING THEM DO FILING,
WE’RE HAVING THEM DO ESCORTS,
AND WE’RE HAVING THEM NOT SIT IN
THE FRIENDLY SKIES, WHICH AS WE
LEARNED UNFORTUNATELY IN 1985
AND 2001 AND 1970, HOW DANGEROUS
IT IS WHEN WE DON’T HAVE AIR
MARSHALS ON THAT FLIGHT.
THEN WE HAVE A PRESIDENT THAT
CALLS HIMSELF UNION JOE AND
AMTRAK JOE AND PREMATURELY WHEN
HE SPIKED THE FOOTBALL AND HARD
EARNED RESULTS FOR THE UNION
MEMBERS CELEBRATING THEIR PEACE
OF MIND AND TALKED ABOUT ALL THE
GOOD THINGS COMING OUT OF THE
DEAL BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER TO
HIM OR HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT HE’S
TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE OVER THE
SICK PAY, REMEMBER, THAT’S NOT
IMPORTANT TO HIM.
IN STARK CONTRAST TO WHAT HE
CLAIMS THE WHOLE TIME.
NOW WE’RE MADE TO BELIEVE THAT
OUR TAX DOLLARS SHOULD GO TOWARD
REGULATING AND MAYBE PROSECUTING
ELON MUSK TO TALK ABOUT DONALD
TRUMP?
>> Harris: HOW ARE THEY EVEN
GOING TO DO THAT?
THAT WHITE HOUSE PRESS SECRETARY
YESTERDAY, SHE KEPT GOING BACK
TO THE FINDER.
I SECRETLY THINK -- IT’S NOT A
SECRET THAT I THINK THIS,
THERE’S NO WORDS ON THOSE PAGES.
IT’S LIKE SHE’S JUST RIFFING AT
ONE POINT, HOW IS THE WHITE
HOUSE GOING TO KEEP UP WITH WHAT
ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
ARE YOU SPYING ON TWITTER?
WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN THERE AND
SHE TURNED AND SAID SOME STUFF
ABOUT HOW THEY WERE MONITORING
IT.
LET’S STAY ON THE BORDER FOR
JUST A SECOND HERE THOUGH,
KENNEDY, BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS
NEXT WITH REPUBLICANS THERE’S NO
DOUBT NOW, THERE’S NO CLOUT
ABOUT THAT.
YOU HEARD FROM MCCARTHY.
>> Kennedy: YES, TO JASON’S
POINT, THE NATIONAL NEWS MEDIA
SHOULD BE PRESSING THE LEADERS
ON WHAT’S MOST PRESSING FOR US.
THE BORDER IS A MUCH BIGGER
ISSUE FOR PEOPLE, PARTICULARLY
IN STATES LIKE CALIFORNIA,
ARIZONA, TEXAS, AND EVEN FLORIDA
THAN IS A MEETING WITH THE
FORMER PRESIDENT AND A WHITE
SUPREMACIST.
MAYBE MOVE ON FROM THAT AND
PRESS THE PEOPLE BUT, YES, THIS
IS ONE OF THE THINGS WHERE THE
GOP CAUCUS IS IN LOCK STEP.
I WISH ACTUALLY WE HAD A
NATIONAL PHILOSOPHY ON
IMMIGRATION SO THAT WHEN THERE
WAS A TRANSFER OF POWER, THERE
ONCE A RUSH TO GET OVER THE --
WASN’T A RUSH TO GET OVER THE
BORDER BEFORE THE PENDULUM
SWINGS IS AND GET OVER THE
BORDER.
WE HAVE REFORM IN THE
IMMIGRATION POLICY AND HURTS US
AND PEOPLE COMING TO THE COUNTRY
AND KIDS WHO ARE SENT BY THEIR
PARENTS AND THAT’S ONE OF THE
AREAS WHERE THE ADULTS IN THE
ROOM FROM BOTH PARTIES NEED TO
GET TOGETHER AND FORMULATE THAT
BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS, IT
FORCES THESE CRISES OVER AND
OVER AGAIN AND TO EMILY’S POINT,
YOU’RE PLAYING THE SHELL GAME
WITH DIFFERENT FEDERAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND STEALING PEOPLE
OFF OF PLANES WHERE THEY COULD
BE SECURING AMERICANS AND
PUTTING THEM ON DESK DUTY OTURU
THE BORDER.
AS QUICK AS >>BORDER.>> Jason: I
EVERYTHING KENNEDY SAYS BUT
THERE’S LAWS ON THE BOOKS AND
SAY I’M GOING TO ENFORCE THIS
AND NOT THAT AND YOU CAN’T DO
THAT .
THE DEMOCRATS SHOULD INTRODUCE A
BILL AND VOTE ON IT.
THEY HAVE THE HOUSE AND SENATE.
>> Kennedy: THEY’VE NOT HAD
THE BACKBONE TO VOTE ON
IMMIGRATION IN A RATIONAL WAY >>
Jason: ENFORCE THE LAW CLERKS
THE LAW ON THE BOOKS.
THAT’S THE NATIONAL POLICY.
>> Kennedy: IT’S A BAD POLICY.
>> Emily: TURNING TO CHINA AND
PROTEST OF THE COMMUNIST REGIME
ARE GAINING INTERNATIONAL
ATTENTION.
>> [ SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE
].
>> Harris: CHEMOSTRAITERS --ERS
Emily: DEMONSTRATORS FED UP
AND CALLING FOR OVERTHROW OF THE
CHINESE COME MIST PARTY AND
BOLDEST AND MOST WIDESPREAD
REVOLT CHINA HAS SEEN IN YEARS
AND USING BLANK SHEETS OF PAPER
TO GET MESSAGE ACROSS AND THE
PAPER REPRESENTING EVERYTHING
THE DEMONSTRATORS WANT TO SAY
BUT CANNOT UNDER CHINA’S
RESTRICTIVE REGIME.
BEIJING IS IS RESORTING TO AGE
OLD TACTICS TO CRACK DOWN HARD
ON ANYONE NOT FALLING IN LINE.
THEY’RE ALSO USING MODERN TOOLS
TO TRACK DOWN POTENTIAL
PROTESTERS AND SCRUBBING OUT
SYMBOLS OF DISSENT FROM SOCIAL
MEDIA AND LEAVES PRESIDENT BIDEN
WALKING A FINE LINE AND THE NEW
YORK TIMES WRITING THE PRESIDENT
IS WEIGHING ON HOW TO SUPPORT
THE PROTESTERS AFTER HIS
INSISTED HE WOULD CALL OUT
ABUSES BY AUTHORITARIAN
GOVERNMENTS BUT INSTEAD THE
ADMINISTRATION HAS BEGIN THIS
MEASURED RESPONSE.
>> WHY IS THE WHITE HOUSE’S LINE
THAT EVERYBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO
PEACEFULLY PROTEST AND NOT THE
U.S. THINKS IT’S BAD TO LOCK
PEOPLE UP IN THEIR HOUSES TO
STOP COVID?
>> WE’VE MADE IT CLEAR, PETER,
THAT A LOCKDOWN IS NOT A POLICY
THAT WE’RE GOING TO SUPPORT
HERE.
OBVIOUSLY THERE’S PEOPLE IN
CHINA THAT HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT
THAT AND THEY’RE PROTESTING THAT
AND WE BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE
ABLE TO DO THAT PEACEFULLY.
>> WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT’S
REACTION HEARING PROPHETIC VOICE
TESTERS IN CHINA CHANT FREEDOM
OR XI JINPING STEP DOWN?
>> PRESIDENT IS NOT GOING TO
SPEAK FOR PROTESTERS AROUND THE
WORLD.
THEY’RE SPEAKING FOR THEMSELVES.
>> THERE’S NO REACTION?
>> THESE PROTESTERS ARE SPEAKING
FOR THEMSELVES.
>> Emily: JASON, CRITICS ARE
ARRANGING THAT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION’S TEMPERED
RESPONSE WE SAW IN STARK
CONTRAST WITH EVERYTHING THEY
USUALLY PROMISE ABOUT SOLIDARITY
WITH PROTEST AND DEMOCRACY
ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE CCP FOR
FEAR THEY ARGUE OF THE PRESIDENT
SEEMING TO SUPPORT CALLS FOR THE
OVERTHROW OR THE STEPPING DOWN
OF PRESIDENT XI JINPING.
>> Jason: THE SOFT POWER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
SHOULD BE ONE THAT AM PINATA AMP
FREEDOM AND LIBERTY THAT WE
ENJOY IN THE UNITED STATES.
BRIAN KILMEADE REMIND ME THAT
BARACK OBAMA SAID DURING HIS
TERM SAID HE DIDN’T SUPPORT THE
PROTESTERS IN IRAN AND THAT WAS
ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES AND
THINK THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
WOULD REMEMBER THAT AND NOT
DOING IT IN SUPPORT OF THE
PEOPLE OF IRAN OR IN PROTEST OF
THE PEOPLE OF CHINA.
IT’S AN EASY THING TO DO
POLITICALLY HERE AT HOME,
DIFFICULT INTERNATIONAL BUT
THAT’S WHY YOU NEED A LEADER AND
JOE BIDEN IS JUST SHOWING AGAIN
THE WEAKNESS -- HE’S JUST WEAK.
HE WON’T DO IT.
THESE PEOPLE ARE LISTENING.
THESE PEOPLE ARE PUTTING THEIR
LIVES ON THE LINE.
YOU DON’T THINK THEIR LIFE IS IN
JEOPARDY BY CALLING OUT
PRESIDENT XI?
THESE PEOPLE HAVE REALLY PUT
THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE.
>> Emily: KENNEDY, THE
ARGUMENT AS WELL IS THAT SINCE
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS BEEN IN BED
FOR PRESIDENT XI FOR SO LONG AND
DID AWAY WITH THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION CATEGORICALLY
PURPOSESFUL DOJ AND OTHER
PROGRAMS LEADING TO SOME KIND OF
SOVEREIGNTY BETWEEN US AND
CHINA, SOME TYPE OF AMERICA
FIRST IN THE REALM OF BUSINESS
AND POLITICS INCLUDED AND
ECONOMY AND EDUCATION AND THE
LIKE, THAT BY DISMANTLING ALL OF
THE PROTECTIONS AND INVITING HIM
IN, THAT NOW HE’S IN THAT
POSITION OF WEAKNESS AND NOT TO
MUDDLE TOP TOPICS BUT PART OF TH
RAIL STRIKE AND WHAT EXESER
BAITS THAT IS THE GLOBAL
SUPPLY -- EXACERBATES THAT AND
CHINA ON LOCKDOWN AND PROTESTS
INCREASES, THAT’S MILLIONS OF
WORKERS THAT SUPPLY AMERICANS
WITH EVERYTHING THEY NEED
BECAUSE THIS ADMINISTRATION
DOESN’T PUT AMERICA FIRST.
>> Harris: NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT,
YOU KNOW, AT BEST THEY’RE
WAFFLING.
AT BEST THEY’RE GIVING
NONANSWERS AND BEING INCREDIBLE
LUKEWARM ABOUT SOME VERY SERIOUS
STRUCTURAL ISSUES IN CHINA.
>> Kennedy: YOU KNOW,
PRESIDENT OBAMA IS RIGHT AND THE
GREEN REVOLUTION WOULD HAVE
CAUGHT FIRE IF ONLY HE HAD HAD
THE BACKBONE AND THE NERVE TO
STAND UP AND SAY, YES, WE
SUPPORT YOU.
BUT, YOU KNOW, THESE SORT OF
NONANSWERS FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION, AND I DON’T
BLAME JOHN KIRBY.
HE’S BEING TOLD WHAT TO SAY BUT
THE PRESIDENT IS NOT FORCEFULLY
TELLING THE REST OF THE WORLD WE
BELIEVE IN YOUR RIGHTS, THESE
ARE GOD GIVEN HUMAN RIGHTS,
THESE ARE NOT JUST RIGHTS THAT
AMERICANS SHOULD ENJOY, BUT WE
ALL AS HUMAN BEINGS SHOULD AND
WHY IS NS CANTOR FREEDOM THE
ONLY PERSON STANDING UP TO
AUTHORITARIAN REGIMES?
OUR PRESIDENT SHOULD BE DOING
THE SAME THING.
>> Emily: EVERY AMERICAN THAT
REMEMBERS THAT SEES THE WRITING
ON THE WALL BECAUSE THIS IS HOW
THE CCP OPERATES.
>> >> Harris: THERE WAS A
SURVIVOR OF THAT SPEAKING WHO
SAID AND CARLEY YOU KNOW ABOUT
THIS, THAT THAT’S THE PREAMBLE
IS WHAT WE’RE LOOKING AT NOW.
EVERYBODY HOPES THAT’S NOT WHAT
HAPPENS, BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A
PRESIDENT WHO IS LUKEWARM IN HIS
RESPONSES ON THIS BUT THEN
SHOUTS ABOUT ANYTHING THAT HAS
ANYTHING TO DO WITH WOKENESS OR
RACE, IT IS CONFUSING EXCEPT FOR
BY OUR ENEMIES.
CHINA LOOKS AT THIS AND SAYS,
WELL, THEY’RE WILLING TO FIGHT
EACH OTHER HARDER THAN THEY’RE
WILLING TO FIGHT US.
ALL OF THIS LEADS ME TO THE
POINT OF WHAT WE DON’T KNOW
ABOUT THE PRESIDENT’S
RELATIONSHIP THROUGH HIS SON
HUNTER WITH CHINA AND THOSE
BUSINESS DEALINGS.
I REACHED OUT TO JUDICIAL WATCH
TODAY TO SEE IF THEIR LAWSUIT IS
STILL ONGOING BECAUSE THEY HAD
FOYAGE AND TROT THROUGH THE
INFORMATION OF FREEDOM ACT TO
GET BUSINESS RECORDS ON ALL OF
IT.
THE WASHINGTON POST DID A GREAT
JOB REPORTING ON IT, BUT WE WANT
TO SEE THE RECORDS; RIGHT.
THAT LAWSUIT IS STILL ONGOING.
WE DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT SOME
OF THE BACKGROUND IS ON THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BIDEN
FAMILY AND CHINA.
SO WE DON’T KNOW WHAT WE DON’T
KNOW, BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW NOW IS
HE’S WEAK.
>> Emily: YEP, AND NO ONE
KNOWS BETTER THAN CHINA.
>> Carley: SO MANY DIFFERENT
FAUCETS TO THE CHINA
CONVERSATION AND ONE THING I
FOUND INTERESTING IS WHY THE
PROTESTS ARE DIFFERENT AND SEEN
YORE FELLOW AT HUDSON -- SENIOR
FELLOW AT HUDSON INSTITUTE WAS
TALKING SAYING IN THE PAST THE
PROTESTS WAS FROM LOWER INCOME
FOLKS AND MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD
AND MIDDLE CLASS AND PROPERTY
OWNERS BUT IF THEY CONTINUE, THE
CRACKDOWNS WILL BE MUCH MORE
DRACONIAN AND SEVERE, WHICH IS
WHY IT’S SO IMPORTANT FOR THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND
PRESIDENT BIDEN TO SPEAK UP FOR
THE PEOPLE.
KENNEDY, GET THE MESSAGE AND GET
HIM IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA SAY I
STAND WITH YOU AND SANCTIONS
AGAINST CHINESE COMMUNIST
OFFICIALS THAT PARTICIPATE IN
VIOLENCE AGAINST THE PROTESTERS
HELPING CHINA NAVIGATE THE
SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORSHIP TO SEE
THE VIOLENCE GOING ON.
INSTEAD THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION
IS CHOOSING TO TIPTOE AROUND
THIS ISSUE IN A REALLY
UNFORTUNATE WAY: IF THE SHOE WAS
ON THE OTHER FOOT AND THERE WERE
MASS PROTESTS IN THE COUNTRY, DO
YOU THINK THAT THE CHINESE
OFFICIALS WOULD BE TREATING A
SITUATION WITH KID GLOVES?
NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
>> Emily: THEY’D BE SITTING
BACK SMOKING A CIGAR ENJOYING
