PREPARES TO VISIT IRELAND
TOMORROW.
>> Ashley: ALEXANDRIA, THANK
YOU.
FRENCH PRESIDENT EMMANUEL MACRON
TAKING A SHOT AT AMERICA AFTER
HIS VISIT TO CHINA SAYING EUROPE
MUST RESIST PRESSURE TO BECOME
AMERICA’S FOLLOWERS AND --
>> Todd: DIRECTOR OF THE
INDEPENDENT WOMEN’S FORUM JOIN
US NOW.
PATRICE, WE RUSHED TO FRANCE AND
EUROPE’S NEED WHEN THEY NEED
ANYTHING OVER BETTER PART OF AN
ENTIRE CENTURY AND THIS IS HOW
THEY REPAY US?
>> THIS IS NOT SURPRISING.
GOOD MORNING.
YOU HAVE THE FRENCH PRESIDENT,
WHO IS LOOKING FOR A USEFUL
DISTRACTION FROM HIS OWN
FAILINGS RIGHT NOW.
HE HAD A NO CONFIDENCE VOTE
BECAUSE OF HIS CONTENTIOUS
RETIREMENT REFORM PLAN.
HE’S LOOKING FOR A WAY TO CHANGE
THE HEADLINES AT HOME AND TO
STEP OUT AND POSITION FRANCE AS
A NEW POWER CENTER AND POWER
BROKER AND THAT MEANS WEAKENING
ALLIANCES WITH THE UNITED STATES
AND STRENGTHENING THEM WITH
CHINA.
HIS VISIT WITH PRESIDENT XI LAST
WEEK, HE BROUGHT WITH HIM 50 OR
100 BUSINESS LEADERS, INKING
TONS OF DEALS WITH FRENCH AND
INTERNATIONAL COMPANIES.
HE IS LOOKING FOR ECONOMIC
OPPORTUNITIES, POLITICAL
OPPORTUNITIES AND OUR
RELATIONSHIPS WITH FRANCE AS
WELL AS EUROPEAN NATIONS WILL BE
AT RISK.
>> Ashley: WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR
THE U.S.?
EVERY SINGLE CONFLICT IS ALWAYS
GOING TO FALL BACK ON US?
>> I THINK IT IS GOING TO BE
SITUATIONAL.
I THINK GENERALLY YOU HAVE --
WE’VE ALIGNED WITH THE U.K. AND
WESTERN AND EASTERN EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES WHEN DEALING WITH
RUSSIA AND UKRAINE CONFLICT.
TAIWAN IS A DIFFERENT SPACE
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT AND I THINK
THE FRENCH ARE SAYING,
SIGNALLING THEY ARE NOT GOING TO
FOLLOW US WHEN IT COMES TO
DEFENDING TAIWAN IF CHINA
DECIDES TO INVADE.
CHINA HAS BEEN MAKING SERIOUS
AGGRESSIVE MOVES WESTBOUND THE
PAST 24 HOURS TO SIGNAL WE DO
NOT WANT TO SEE TAIWAN BEING
CONSIDERED LEGITIMATE.
WE WANT TO ENSURE THE WORLD
SIDES WITH US AND DOESN’T SIDE
WITH THIS NATION.
UNITED STATES MAY HAVE TO GO IT
ALONE WHEN IT COMEINGS TO
TAIWAN.
>> Todd: THIS WAS AN ATTACK ON
THE U.S. DOLLAR, AS WELL.
HOW SHOULD JOE BIDEN RESPOND TO
THIS AND OTHER ATTEMPTS TO
DISPLACE THE U.S. DOLLAR AS THE
WORLD’S CURRENCY?
>> UNITED STATES DOLLAR HAS BEEN
STRONG AND EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
RESENT THE FACT TRAVELERS ARE
GET ARE MORE FOR THEIR BUCK.
LET THINGS PASS AND RIDE OUT HOW
THEY ARE.
THE U.S. DOLLAR SHOULD BE, SO
MANY COUNTRIES USE IT.
THE PRESIDENT HAS TO SAY IT IS
IMPORTANT TO CONDUCT BUSINESS
USING THE U.S. DOLLAR.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE THAT, TOO BAD.
>> Ashley: BACK IN THE UNITED
STATES, CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ WAS PRESSED OVER
CALLS BY BIDEN TO IGNORE FEDERAL
JUDGE’S ABORTION RULING BILL.
LISTEN TO THIS.
THAT IS A PRETTY STUNNING
POSITION, IF YOU THINK IN THE
ABSTRACT ABOUT NOTION OF
IGNORING A JUDGE’S POSITION.
>> I WANT TO TAKE A STEP BACK
AND DIG INTO THE GROUNDS AROUND
IGNORING THIS PRELIMINARY
RULING, AS WELL.
THERE IS PRESCEDENCE FOR THIS, THEY MAKE A MOCKERY OF OUR LAW.
THEY MAKE A MOCKERY OF OUR LAW.
>> Ashley: HOW CONCERNING IS IT
CNN IS EVEN TROUBLED ABOUT THIS
PUBLIC STANCE SHE IS TAKING.
>> OH, YEAH, THIS EXPOSES NEW
GENERATION OF FAR LEFT
PROGRESSIVE LAWMAKERS ARE
WILLING TO GOVERNOR BY
UNDERMINING THE JUDICIARY.
GOVERNORED BY UNDERMINING
CONSTITUTIONAL CHECKS AND
BALANCES.
TAKE APART WHAT SHE IS TALKING
ABOUT, THISSEN MOOS UN MEANS
UNELECTED DEMOCRATS GET TO SAY
YOU ARE OUT OF BOUNDS AND WE
WILL DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO
ANYWAY TEMPERATURE IS A WAY OF
ELEVATING CASES AND ISSUES TO
THE SUPREME COURT.
IT UNDERMINES THE SYSTEM.
HOWEVER, THIS IS WHAT THE FAR
LEFT WANTS TO DO.
ANY COST, NOTHING IS YOU HAVA
THE TABLE AND WE’LL DO ANYTHING
TO ADVANCE RADICAL POLICIES.
THIS IS ABOUT THE ABORTION PILL,
THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT
DESTROYING BABIES.
>> Todd: THE LEFT LOVES TO SAY
ANYTHING IS A THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY, IS THERE A BIGGER
THREAT TO DEMOCRACY THAN SITTING
MEMBER OF CONGRESS SAYING IGNORE
THAT FEDERAL JUDGE’S RULING, I
DON’T WANT TO FOLLOW IT.
SEEMS LIKE THE BIGGEST THREAT TO
DEMOCRACY, I CAN THINK OF, WHAT
