>> CHINA IS FLEXING ITS MUSCLES
AS THE RULING COMMUNIST PARTY
HOLDS CONGRESS IN BEIJING THIS
WEEK.
IN KEYNOTE SPEECH, HE SAID HE
WANTS TO BUILD FORCES INTO A
WORLD CLASS MILITARY AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE AND HE WANTS TO, QUOTE,
MODERNIZE MILITARY THEORY,
PERSONNEL AND WEAPONS AND
ENHANCE THE MILITARY STRATEGIC
CAPABILITIES.
WHILE XI DIDN’T MENTION THE U.S.
SPECIFICALLY, MADE 18 REFERENCES
TO NATIONAL SECURITY.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" IS
REPORTING CHINA IS FURTHER
DEVELOPING HYPERSONICS AND
MISSILE PROGRAM, USING
TECHNOLOGY THAT MAY HAVE BEEN
FUNDED BY U.S. TAXPAYERS.
THIS AS "THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL" WARNS AMERICA’S
MILITARY MAY BE WEAKENING AS THE
PENTAGON STRUGGLES TO FIND
RECRUITS.
ROB, THIS SHOULDN’T COME AS ANY
SURPRISE TO US, FRANKLY.
IT SEEMS AS IF THERE HAVE BEEN A
STEADY STREAM OF REPORTS ON
CHINA’S QUIET ATTEMPT AT WORLD
DOMINANCE.
WE SEE THAT IN THEIR STRATEGIC
PARTNERSHIP WITH RUSSIA IN THE
ARCTIC COUNCIL IN CENTRAL AND
SOUTH AMERICA, THROUGHOUT
COUNTRIES IN AFRICA.
WHEN DO YOU THINK THIS
ADMINISTRATION WILL WAKE UP TO
CHINA’S IN FILTRATION OF THIS
COUNTRY AND ATTEMPTED DOMINANCE
OF THE GLOBE.
>> WELL, THEY WON’T WAKE UP.
LET’S MAKE IT VERY CLEAR NOW.
WHEN AMERICA IS IN POSITION OF
WEAKNESS, SORRY TO SAY THAT WE
ARE NOW, WE HAVE VERY WEAK
LEADERSHIP NOW, OUR ADVERSARIES
SEE THIS.
WHEN WE ARE SHOWING VIDEOS OF
JOE BIDEN STUMBLING OVER A
TELEPROMPTER, ACTING LIKE AN
IDIOT, PEOPLE SEE THAT.
WE ARE PROJECTING WEAKNESS.
THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON WITH
RECRUITMENT ISSUES IN THE
MILITARY.
IF WE TALKED FOR THE PAST
DECADE, TALKED ABOUT HOW AMERICA
IS AWFUL SHALLS IT IS RACIST,
SEXIST, WHITE SUPREMACIST, ALL
OUR LEADERS ARE THESE THINGS AS
WELL.
WE HAVE THAT, ON TOP OF THAT,
YOU HAVE DISRESPECT FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND DISRESPECT FOR
PEOPLE THAT WEAR THE UNIFORM,
WHETHER IT IS MILITARY, POLICE
OFFICERS, WHEN THOSE TWO THINGS
COME TOGETHER, YOU LOOK AT A
BUNCH OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN THIS
COUNTRY SAYING WHY WOULD I WANT
TO SERVE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT IS
RACIST, SEXIST, HOMOPHOBIC,
WHATEVER, AND WHY WOULD I WANT
TO WEAR THE UNIFORM OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT, WHETHER IT BE A
POLICE OFFICER OR MILITARY IF
I’M JUST GOING TO BE HATED.
ALL THESE THINGS COME TOGETHER.
THAT’S WHY WE’RE HAVING A
RECRUITING ISSUE.
THE WEAKNESS THAT CHINA AND OUR
ADVERSARIES SEE IN AMERICA RIGHT
NOW IS WHY THEY’RE BOLSTERING UP
THEIR FORCES.
FOR ME, IT IS SCARY.
I BELIEVE IN OUR MILITARY.
I BELIEVE IN THE YOUNG MEN AND
WOMEN THAT ARE IN THE MILITARY
NOW, WE WILL BE STRONG, RIGHT,
BUT WE HAVE TO BERARE RAREWARE O
WE PUT OUT IN THE WORLD IF WE
WANT PEOPLE TO PUT ON THE
UNIFORM AND SERVE IT.
>> THE IMAGES WE PUT OUT TO THE
REST OF THE WORLD, WHAT MESSAGE
HAS IT BEEN SENDING WHEN THE
ADMINISTRATION DISMANTLED THE
PRIOR ADMINISTRATION’S PROGRAM
WITHIN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
DEDICATED TO HELPING TO IDENTIFY
AND ENFORCE AND PROSECUTE
CHINESE IN FILTRATION IN THIS
COUNTRY IN A MULTITUDE OF AREAS,
INCLUDING PHYSICAL.
THEN THE HOUSE SPEAKER GOES TO
TAIWAN, AND WE CERTAINLY DIDN’T
STAND UP FOR OURSELVES.
THERE ARE CONFLICTING MESSAGES
THE ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN
SENDING.
I WOULD SAY THERE’S BEEN NO
CONFLICT SENDING A MESSAGE OF
ANYTHING BUT STRENGTH.
>> SPOT ON.
WE HAVE A COMMANDER IN CHIEF LICKING ICE CREAM CONES.
LICKING ICE CREAM CONES.
IF YOU THINK SHEXI ISN’T NOTICIN
IT, HE IS MORE EMBOLDEN THAN
EVER.
WHAT HAVE WE DONE?
ACTIONS MATTER TO YOUR POINT.
THE LAST ADMINISTRATION WHEN
PRESIDENT TRUMP GETS ELECTED, HE
PICKS UP THE PHONE, CALL THE
TAIWAN
TAIWANESE PRESIDENT AND SHOW
STRENGTH.
AND THEN IT TOOK A WHOLE OF
GOVERNMENT APPROACH.
THEY LIST EVERY ACTION TAKEN BY
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT, STATE
DEPARTMENT, WHITE HOUSE, DEFENSE
DEPARTMENT, DHS, WHOLE OF
GOVERNMENT, THE ENTIRE
GOVERNMENT GOING WITH FULL
STRENGTH OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA SAYING YOU WON’T MESS
WITH US ECONOMICALLY OR
MILITARILY.
WHAT’S JOE BIDEN DOING?
LICKING ICE CREAM CONES.
TOUTING IT.
>> AND GOING ON VACATION.
>> WE HAVE DELUDED ANY ACTUAL
STRENGTH WE HAD WITH PRIOR
POLICIES AND COMMITMENTS.
IN TERMS OF MESSAGING WHICH IS
SO IMPORTANT TO SOMEONE LIKE XI
JINPING.
>> WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT
HAPPENED, IF WE MAKE A
PHILOSOPHICAL SHIFT IN THIS
COUNTRY AND I HOPE WE DO, I HOPE
TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE EMERGE.
"NEW YORK TIMES" HIGHLIGHT SOME
OF THE CANDIDATES THAT ARE
RUNNING THAT WERE SPECIAL
OPERATORS, MILITARY VETS WHO ARE
RUNNING AS REPUBLICANS.
THEY WANT AN
ANTI-INTERVENTIONIST FOREIGN
POLICY.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE SMARTEST
PEOPLE YOU CAN TALK TO ABOUT HOW
TO MAKE OUR MILITARY BETTER,
SMALLER, LESS EXPENSIVE, MORE
ATTRACTIVE IF WE DO, IN FACT,
NEED RECRUITS.
THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT DEDICATED
THEIR LIVES TO SERVICE, SERVED
IN COMBAT, PROBABLY HAVE A
BETTER HANDLE ON REFINING
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FROM
ANTI-INTERVENTIONIST POINT OF
VIEW.
THOSE PEOPLE ARE INTERESTING TO
ME.
THE OTHER PEOPLE ARE THE
CAPITALISTS.
WHAT YOU ARE NOT HEARING FROM
CHINA IS PROECONOMIC MESSAGE AND
ECONOMIC GROWTH BECAUSE ECONOMIC
GROWTH MEANS INDIVIDUAL
PROSPERITY.
YOU CAN’T HAVE INDIVIDUALS
PROSPERING WHEN YOU HAVE A STATE
RUN ECONOMY.
CHINA ALSO HAS ZERO COVID
POLICY.
THEY’RE CRACKING DOWN ON CIVIL
LIBERTIES, BOOSTING THEIR
MILITARY.
THE ECONOMY, THEIRS IS
CRATERING.
IF WE HAVE THE OPPOSITE FROM
THOSE TWO PRONGS, THAT’S WHERE
AMERICAN SUCCESS AND ULTIMATELY
ECONOMIC AND GLOBAL SUCCESS WILL
COME FROM.
>> HARRIS, TALK TO ANY SMALL
BUSINESS OWNER WHICH YOU DO
FREQUENTLY, THEY WILL TELL YOU
IMPORTING SOMETHING FROM CHINA
IS SO MUCH CHEAPER THAN HAVING
IT MADE IN AMERICA BECAUSE OF
THE BLOATED POLICIES THAT THE
DEMOCRATS AND THIS
ADMINISTRATION KEEP PUTTING
FORWARD, INCLUDING
OVERREGULATION.
TO KENNEDY’S POINT, IT IS MAKING
IT HARDER EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
FOR US TO SUCCEED AND PROSPER
WHILE THE CHINESE GET TO MOVE
AHEAD.
>> SO WE ARE CALLING FOR
CULTURAL SHIFTS HERE.
I THINK ONE THAT HAS TO HAPPEN
IS MADE IN AMERICA.
YES, IT CAN BE A BIT MORE
EXPENSIVE, THOSE GOODS.
I TALK TO SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS
ABOUT THIS DURING THE PANDEMIC
SPECIFICALLY WHEN WE HAD
CRITICAL SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES, IF
YOU NEED BABY FORMULA, WE SHOULD
BE MAKING IT AND WE DON’T TALK
ABOUT THAT CRISIS ENOUGH.
BACK TO THE MAIN LANE HERE.
WITH RECRUITMENT, IT ALSO HURTS
OUR POLICE DEPARTMENTS BECAUSE
19.5% OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
ARE FORMER MILITARY.
WITH RECRUITMENT, IT IS HURT BY
THE FACT YOU SAW AN ARTICLE OUT
TODAY ABOUT THE HEIGHTENED
NUMBER OF MILITARY MEMBERS AND
VETERANS WHO ARE KILLING
THEMSELVES.
SUICIDE IS RISING.
WITH RECRUITMENT, THE SMALLER
THE MILITARY GETS, IT CAN BE
HIGHLY TECHNOLOGICAL AND DO
THAT, WHAT IT WILL BECOME IS
OUTNUMBERED.
IF CHINA DECIDES THEY WANT A
BIGGER MILITARY, THEY PRETTY
MUCH ALMOST HAVE ONE NOW, BUT
WANT TO MODERNIZE IT, WHERE DO
THEY GET THE INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY TO MODERNIZE THE
MILITARY, THEY GET IT FROM US.
WE NEED TO BE BIG, BOLD,
TECHNOLOGICALLY GIFTED.
DON’T THINK THEY’RE NOT WATCHING
WHAT RUSSIA IS DOING AND SOME OF
THE DRONES ARE CHINESE TOO.
THEY’RE GETTING THE DRONES AS
WELL.
CHINA WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT TO
TAIWAN, IT IS A DISTANT THING
THEY CAN DO.
THEY DON’T WANT TO ENGAGE WITH
US.
THEY DON’T.
ECONOMICALLY THEY DON’T WANT
THAT.
THEY’RE WATCHING AND SEEING WE
DON’T DO ANYTHING WHEN YOU HIT
