BUT THEY HATE WHAT THE DEMOCRATS
ARE DOING TO AMERICA.
THAT’S "THE ANGLE."
JOINING ME NOW, FORMER SECRETARY
OF STATE MIKE POMPEO,
DISTINGUISHED FELLOW AT THE
HUDSON INSTITUTE.
MR. SECRETARY, I THINK MORE THAN
ANYTHING ELSE HERE THAT IS
DISTURBING IS THIS LACK OF
ACCOUNTABILITY.
WHICH REALLY OFFENDS ME MOST
GIVEN WHAT’S AT STAKE.
>> IT’S PRETTY REMARKABLE,
LAURA.
HEARING PRESIDENT BIDEN TALK
ABOUT WE ARE BACK, AMERICA IS
BACK.
IT FEELS LIKE 1976, 1979.
PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING TOLD TO
TURN DOWN THE THERMOSTAT.
THEY TOLD WERE NOT GOING TO HAVE
ENOUGH ENERGY.
NOT BEING TOLD TO SOLVE THE
ECONOMIC PROBLEMS.
GOING TO LAY OFF HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS, GET ON A
PLANE UP TO 5% WERE 6% TO SOLVE
THIS PROBLEM.
EVERY FAMILY IN AMERICA CAN FEEL
THAT.
WHEN IT COMES TO OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY, WE LOST THE BUBBLE, WE
ARE THE BAD GUYS.
XI JINPING, VLADIMIR PUTIN, THE
TALIBAN, THEY UNDERSTAND THEY
COULDN’T DO WHAT THEY’VE DONE TO
AMERICA THESE LAST 18 MONTHS.
EVERY AMERICAN, NOT REPUBLICANS,
NOT DEMOCRATS, EVERY AMERICAN
CAN FEEL THAT THEY ARE LESS
SECURE, LESS SAFE, BORDERS UNDER
THREAT, CRIME IS HIGHER.
THOSE ARE THINGS THAT COME.
A FOUR WEEKS FROM NOW FROM
PEOPLE START LOADING THE
MIDTERMS, I THINK THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO REJECT
EXACTLY WHAT IT IS PRESENT BIDEN
HAS GIVEN THEM.
>> Laura: HERE WAS BIDEN
TODAY, SECRETARY POMPEO, TOUTING
HIS ONE OF HIS REALLY BIG
PRIORITIES AT THE U.N.
WATCH.
>> MY ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING
WITH OUR CONGRESS TO DELIVER
MORE THAN $11 BILLION A YEAR TO
INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE FINANCE.
TO HELP LOWER INCOME COUNTRIES
LIMIT THEIR PRIVATE GOALS.
INSURE A JUST ENERGY TRANSITION.
>> Laura: MR. SECRETARY, WE
ARE WASTING MORE MONEY ON
PROJECTS THAT DO NOTHING TO KEEP
THIS COUNTRY SAFE, NOTHING.
>> EVERYONE REMEMBERS SOLYNDRA.
IT SEEMS LIKE HISTORY IS
REPEATING ITSELF WITH THE OBAMA
YEARS OF THE CARTER YEARS.
WE TAKE TAXPAYER MONEY AND GIVE
IT TO SOME SLUSH FUND LEFTIST TO
DO SOMETHING THAT WILL HAVE NO
VALUE FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
WE HAVE TRAPPED AMERICAN ENERGY
IN THE GROUND.
THERE WAS A DEEPLY CLINICAL
DECISION.
THE PRESIDENT OF A KIND OF SO
THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD.
HE TALKED ABOUT THE INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT.
TED IS THE BIGGEST CLIMATE
PROJECT IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
IT’S BAD FOR THE AMERICAN
PEOPLE, DANGEROUS FOR SECURITY.
I’M CONFIDENT THERE’S NOT A
FAMILY AND AMERICO THINKS THAT
WAS A GOOD IDEA OR THAT IT WILL
SERVE THEIR OWN FAMILY WELL.
>> Laura: THE CITIBANK SEO
APPEARED AT A CONGRESSIONAL
HEARING TODAY AND SHE WAS
ANSWERING A QUESTION ABOUT D
COUPLING FROM CHINA WHICH IS
SOMETHING THAT YOU AND I HAVE
TALKED ABOUT A LOT.
WATCH WHAT SHE SAYS.
>> WE LOOK AT THE CLIENTS THAT
WE SERVE, MANY OF THEM ARE
MULTINATIONAL CLIENTS IN CHINA.
WE SEE THAT THERE IS A HIGH
DEGREE OF INTERDEPENDENCE.
WE’VE GOT TO TAKE A STRATEGIC
VIEW IN AMERICA AS TO WHERE IT
IS WITH THAT WE NEED MORE
STRATEGIC INDEPENDENCE.
TO BUILD THAT IN A THOUGHTFUL
MANNER.
ALSO IN A WAY THAT DOESN’T CAUSE
CRISES, ECONOMIC CRISES.
>> Laura: OKAY, JANE FRASER,
MR. SECRETARY.
SHE DOESN’T WANT TO PULL BACK
FROM CHINA BECAUSE THEY HAVE A
LOT OF CHINESE CLIENTS.
I ADJUSTED THE QUICK SUMMATION
OF WHAT SHE SAID.
>> THAT’S A PRETTY GOOD SUMMARY,
ONE THAT YOU AND I HAVE HEARD
FROM BEING FINANCED HERE IN THE
UNITED STATES FOR AN AWFULLY
LONG TIME.
I WILL TELL YOU IT ALSO SOUNDS
AWFUL LOT LIKE WHAT I HEARD FROM
CHINESE LEADERSHIP, CHINESE
LEADERS SAYING WE ARE SO
CONNECTED.
IT WILL BE REALLY BAD FOR YOU.
THIS IS PRECISELY THE
WRONGHEADED THINKING THAT FOR 40
YEARS DIDN’T RECOGNIZE THE
CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY HAS
DECLARED ECONOMIC WAR ON
AMERICA.
WE ALLOW THEM TO DO IT.
I HOPE OUR SENIOR FINANCIAL
LEADERS WILL BEGIN TO TRULY
UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE
AMERICAN COMPANIES WITH AMERICAN
INTERESTS AND DO THE THINGS THAT
WILL DEFEND AMERICAN FREEDOM.
>> Laura: THEY ARE NOT ACTING
LIKE THAT.
NO, NO.
THEY SAID TODAY, WHICH IS TRUE,
THEY SAID "WE DON’T MAKE POLICY
BUT WE CONSULT WITH THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT."
JAMIE TIMON MIGHT HAVE SAID THAT
TODAY.
SO I MEAN, SO BUT THEY’RE MAKING
IT CLEAR, YOU CAN’T DECOUPLE
BECAUSE THAT WOULD CAUSE --
WHAT I WAS HATED JAMIE TIMON AS
HE WANTED BIDEN AND NOW YOU GOT
BIDEN.
HOW DOES IT FEEL?
DOES IT FEEL GOOD?
>> DON’T FORGET WHEN CONGRESS
ATTEMPTED TO PUT PRESSURE ON
CHINA ABOUT THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATION, THE BANKS LOBBIED
AGAINST IT.
THEY WENT TO CAPITOL HILL AND
SAID IT’S A BAD IDEA TO PROTECT
HUMAN RIGHTS.
