RACHEL: WELCOME BACK TO "FOX &
friends."
WE’VE BEEN TELLING YOU CHINESE
STATE-RUN MEDIA RELEASING --
TELLING YOU THE CHINESE HAVE
RELEASED VIDEO OF TENNIS STAR
PENG SHUAI WHO VANISHED AFTER
LODGING SEXUAL ASSAULT
ACCUSATIONS AGAINST A MEMBER OF
THE COMMUNIST PARTY.
WILL: BUT CRITICS, INCLUDING OUR
NEXT GUEST, AREN’T BUYING IT IF
DEMANDING PROOF SHE IS SAFE AND
FREE.
LAWRENCE: FLORIDA GOP
CONGRESSMAN MICHAEL WALTZ SENT A
LETTER TO THE CHINESE
AMBASSADOR, AND HE JOINS US NOW
WITH MORE.
CONGRESSMAN, THANKS SO MUCH.
IT WAS A PLEASURE TO SEE YOU AT
THE PATRIOT AWARDS.
SHOULD WE STILL -- AND THIS IS
GOING TO BE HOW IT’S GOING TO,
YOU KNOW, HOW THEY’RE GOING TO
DO THIS, SHOULD WE BE THE STILL
HAVING THE WINTER OLYMPICS
THERE?
SHOULDN’T WE BE PROTESTING THIS
RIGHT NOW?
>> I MEAN, IMAGINE IF THE NUMBER
ONE TENNIS STAR, A MAJOR SPORTS
CELEBRITY IN THE UNITED STATES,
LEVELED A SEXUAL ASSAULT
ALLEGATION, A VERY CREDIBLE ONE,
SAYING THAT A MAJOR POLITICAL
FIGURE LIKE THE VICE PRESIDENT
HAD ABUSED THEM FOR YEARS, AND
THEN THAT ATHLETE JUST
DISAPPEARED OFF THE FACE OF THE
EVERETT.
THAT’S WHAT’S -- EARTH.
THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENED IN CHINA
WITH THEIR FORMER NUMBER ONE
DOUBLES PLAYER IN THE WORLD,
PENG SHUAI.
SHE PUT FORWARD THIS ALLEGATION,
EVERYTHING’S BEEN CENSORED, AND
NOW GONE.
AND SO THE LETTER WE SENT TO THE
AMBASSADOR SAID STOP WITH THE
CENSORSHIP, GIVE US VERIFIABLE
PROOF OF HER HEALTH AND SAFETY,
AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FULLY
INVESTIGATED.
APPARENTLY, THEIR VICE PREMIER
SEXUALLY SALTED HER -- ASSAULTED
HER OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS.
WILL: YEAH.
I THINK DETAILS ARE IMPORTANT.
SHE MADE A SEXUAL ASSAULT CLAIM.
SHE DISAPPEARS.
AND AS WE WERE SETTING IT UP, SO
THEY PUT THIS VIDEO OUT.
BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR, YOU
DON’T BUY THIS VIDEO.
THEY’RE SAYING OH, LOOK, HERE
SHE IS, SHE’S NOT DISAPPEARED.
YOU’RE NOT BUYING THIS VIDEO.
>> YEAH, NO.
THEY’RE SAYING THAT HE IS FREELY
AT HER HOME --
WILL: RIGHT.
>> -- AND NOT NECESSARILY
DETAINED.
YET NO ONE IN THE WORLD
INCLUDING OTHER TENNIS STARS,
THE WORLD TENNIS ASSOCIATION,
ANYONE ELSE HAS BEEN ABLE TO
CONTACT HER.
WILL: RIGHT.
>> SO THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT HAS
A LONG HISTORY OF DOING THIS.
THEY JUST HANGED AN NBA PLAYER,
CUT HIM OFF FROM THE ENTIRE
WORLD AND TORTURED HIM IN MANY
WAYS FOR A PERIOD OF EIGHT
MONTHS.
AND, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANT TO
SAY GOOD ON THE WORLD TENNIS
ASSOCIATION FOR STEPPING UP AND
TAKING A FORCEFUL STAND, UNLIKE
THE NBA WHICH HAS JUST BEEN
COMPLETELY SILENT ON A NUMBER OF
ISSUES AND HAS ACTUALLY FORCED
AN AMERICAN GENERAL MANAGER AND
OTHERS TO TAKE DOWN ANY
CRITICISM OF CHINA BECAUSE
THEY’RE WORRIED ABOUT THEIR
BOTTOM LINE.
THE IOC, BACK TO YOUR POINT ON
THE OLYMPICS, HAS BEEN
COMPLETELY SILENT ON THIS ISSUE.
AND ALL OF THESE REASONS, THE
SAFETY OF OUR ATHLETES, THE
OPPRESSION OF FREEDOM IN CHINA,
THE GROSS HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS ARE REASONS THAT A
YEAR AGO I INTRODUCED THE
MEASURE IN THE HOUSE CALLING FOR
A FULL BOYCOTT OF OF THE OLYMPIC
WE CANNOT HAVE THE AMERICAN FLAG
FLYING IN BEIJING TURNING A
BLIND EYE TO ALL OF THOSE ABUSES
PLUS COVID THAT THEY STILL
WON’T, YOU KNOW, WORK WITH US ON
IN TERMS OF INVESTIGATING.
DICTATORS LOVE THE OLYMPICS,
RIGHT?
PUTIN INVADED CRIMEA AND THE
UKRAINE JUST MONTHS AFTER SOCHI
OLYMPICS.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT HITLER DID IN
THE YEARS AFTER THE 1936
OLYMPICS.
AND I WORRY ABOUT TAIWAN AND
FUTURE AGGRESSION FROM CHINA
AFTER THE ENTIRE WORLD TURNS A
BLIND EYE TO THEIR ABUSES IN
JUST A FEW MONTHS.
THIS IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER,
IN FEBRUARY.
RACHEL: CONGRESSMAN, I WANT TO
GET TO ANOTHER TOPIC THAT’S
IMPORTANT AS WELL.
THERE ARE REPORTS THAT HUNTER
BIDEN’S FIRM REPORTEDLY HELPED A
CHINESE COMPANY PURCHASE A VERY
RICH COBALT MINE IN A DEAL WORTH
$3.8 BILLION.
FINISH WHAT IS THE IMPACT OF
THAT ON THE AMERICAN ECONOMY, ON
OUR NATIONAL SECURITY, AND WHAT
ABOUT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION?
DOES THIS ROAD LEAD FROM HUNTER
OVER TO JOE BIDEN AS WELL?
>> WELL, SO YOU HAVE THE CHINESE
COMMUNIST PARTY IS SEEKING TO
DOMINATE THE GLOBAL MINERALS
TRADE.
I MEAN, THESE ARE LIST ARE YUM,
COBALT -- LITHIUM, COBALT,
GRAPHITE, THESE ARE THE RAW
MATERIALS FOR COMPUTER CHIPS AND
IMPORTANTLY, COBALTING IS FOR
ELECTRIC BATTERIES.
SO HERE YOU HAVE THE LEFT IN THE
UNITED STATES DEMANDING THAT WE
MOVE TO AN ALL-ELECTRIC,
ALL-BATTERY ECONOMY THROUGH
LEGISLATION, FORCING THAT ON ALL
AMERICANS, YET ALL IT’S DOING IS
FORCING OUR DEPENDENCY ON THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY WHO’S
TRYING TO DOMINATE THOSE MINES.
BY THE WAY, THAT LEGISLATION
THAT JUST PASSED, BUILD BACK
BETTER, WILL SHUT DOWN A NUMBER
OF AMERICAN MINES.
AND NOW YOU HAVE THE SON OF THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
HELPING THE CHINESE.
MEANWHILE, HE ALSO OWNS SPACE IN
FIRMS THAT ARE BLACKLISTED FROM
THE UNITED STATES, ONE OF WHICH
FOR TRYING TO STEAL AMERICAN
NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY.
SO I GOTTA TELL YOU, WHEN WE GET
IN CHARGE, WE’RE GOING TO GET TO
THE BOTTOM OF WHAT’S GOING ON
WITH HUNTER BIDEN AND THE BIDEN
FAMILY’S INVESTMENTS.
AND WHEN HE’S TALKING ABOUT IN
HIS E-MAILS THAT CAME OFF HIS
LAPTOP THE HAVING TO PAY HIS
FATHER’S BILLS AND HOW MUCH THE
BIG GUY OWNS, I THINK IT STINKS.
I THINK THE WHITE HOUSE IS
COMPROMISED.
AND, YOU KNOW, LOOK, THIS IS OUR
GREATEST ADVERSARY THAT IS
SEEKING TO.COMING NATE US
ECONOMICALLY SO THEY CAN
DOMINATE US MILITARILY.
LAWRENCE: SO SHADY.
RACHEL: SO SHADE DID.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT,
CONGRESSMAN.
YOU’RE RIGHT.
YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
