so much of our culture has been bought off by communist china regime, you can't say anything like a china virus. the spanish virus, but talk about a white dominant society, but when you talk about communist chinese regime, that is what it is, but you, not allowed to talk about that, how can you talk about the threat? with putin there is a bizarre love relationship between putin and certain percentage of our politicos who think he is a cool guy, a tough guy. he is a killer. he is a killer who killed his way to the top. he is corrupt. he wants to hold on to power and reestablish the old soviet union, this was defeated during the cold war, why should we defend the ukraine? i don't know. or belgium, italy? france? great britain, they are all the way over there, all the way over there after all, how many wars started in lawrence, kansas? i don't know of any, do you? how many wars? in joplin, missouri? none they can think of. no. the wars are overseas, they have a way of reaching into the united states the fact of the matter is, china, russia, and they are not alone, are building militaries aga

another example of how china works. and it is important to point out, by the way, china is not expecting these political figures to walk with them on every single issue. they have a concept in their intelligence service that loosely translated means, big help, with little bad mouth. in other words as long as you them -- help them on lit big things that matter to them. another individual is feinstein the chairman of senate intelligence commenty, her husband has done millions of dollars of deals in china. bugg. and her husband was a partner with that chinese firm it say serious, deep problem on both sides of the aisle. mark: an eye-opening book, "red-handed" by peter swiez schweizer, a fantastic a allergies don't have to be scary. spraying flonase daily stops your body from overreacting to allergens all season long. psst! psst! flonase all good.

let's talk for a moment about china because china has been on the march,s it seems to have a strategy and a plan and momentum. what should americans really know from behind the scenes about china, its ambitions and its goals? finish. >> well, jason, you've been a strong advocate for rising to the threat of china, and certainly that is what we need to do. this administration, as marsha blackburn was just saying, has a decision to make as to how we invest in our military capabilities, in our technology capabilities to counter what china is doing. china's investing in its military, trying to exceed the united states and our military capabilities so that they can hold us at bay in technology, they're investing in technology in part to advance their surveillance society by which they use their authoritarian powers to repress their people. but also to reach outside of china and to affect those who, democracies like ourselves, that they see as a threat. this president has an opportunity to hold them at bay and make america strong, and he needs to commit himself to that now. jason: president

dana: let's talk about china a little bit. just a few days the limericks will begin in china. we are in year three of the pandemic. way back when his first becoming publicized it was happening, you took a lot of flak from some when you suggested it might've been a wuhan lab leak. even the "washington post" corrected that peremptory were gratified by that. i want to ask you, doesn't matter kind of now more than ever we get to the bottom of how this happened? even while china is about how this great propaganda opportunity to show the world they can host an olympics even though they unleash this. >> it very much does, dana. a couple years ago now that i first said maybe the virus came from that lab. i did not even asserted as fact i just said it's a question we should ask whether it came from this food market that do not even have bats present. or maybe it came from the lab a few blocks down the street where they researched novel coronavirus that originated in baths under the leadership of a scientist whose name was really the fat lady pretty course the democrats in the media con

what is going on with china? for ages we've have been talking about it with the south china sea and we have talked about it. there is no sanctions on that. >> it shows the degree there's a tremendous interest in the country. and at the end of the day, we do need to have a military capability in the western pacific. there is a prominent academic thing today that the chinese are ready today and they might. that's where our focus needs to be is not that russia is challenge but as you suggested europeans can handle this page wharf the russians and economic power in can turn into military power. we can help them but it's a matter of will and if we send a huge additional force into you were on —- europe that sends the wrong message and that's where it will be settled in america's features will be settled. steve: with all the outrage and indignation from all of the senators of both parties focusing was taken seriously great to see you again. we will be yep, it's go time with wireless on the most reliable network. ok,

i have to get your take on china. moments ago you said what will the ukraine situation mean for xi jinping as he eyes taiwan. when do you expect china to invade taiwan? >> well, i think xi jinping believes today that his military is capable of invading taiwan. they can execute that operates and if he gives the order. if america doesn't come to its support. there are reasons why he might not do that imminently like the winter x coming up or the party congress later this year was the chinese communist party will give him the unprecedented third term in power, but after that , i think when the geopolitical conditions are right, maybe when the weather data is suitable in the taiwan straits especially if the vladimir putin pulls off an invasion of uke-- ukraine you could see xi jinping go for the jugular in taiwan and that's why it's important we stand by our commitments around the world and that we be especially clear that we will come to taiwan's support to defend its democracy and its autonomy. maria: and quick before y

we know that it came from china. nancy pelosi has steadfastly refused for two years to even allow a single congressional hearing on the origins of covid and how it came from china. shy has performed other services as well. john boehner, republican former speaker of the house, when he was speaker of the house, blocked legislation, it was crucial to china, they wanted passed. it passed through senate on bipartisan senate it would pass u.s. house on bipartisan base, he refused the speaker to allow it to be even brought on the floor, when he left the speaker ship he joined a lobbying firm in washington that happens to be lobbies firm for the chinese government, they have a contract with embassy of china, their job to provide in their terms, a political intelligence for issues related to u.s. defense budget and other issues. boehner is now a strategic adviser to this firm, they have offices in china. he is neck deep in this firm, and another example of how china works, important to point out. china is not expecting the po

the balance of power has significantly shifted to china's military. we are not moving quickly enough in the near term, i know we are advancing technology in terms of research and development for the future and advanced technology and we need to do that and i give them credit for the defense budget to accommodate that, congress of course did that over the biden administration but in near term, we need to put military capacity in the region to return to an effective deterrence, we do not want china's military to be incentivized and given intimidation coercion that's going to continue to go on with taiwan and other countries in the region, we don't want them to feel they can get away with something dealing with taiwan and fast by the military deterrence and movement capacity into the region we have is critical. we are not moving fast enough to do that. paul: general, i want to talk about hong kong here because what china did was basically break a treaty signed with britain to give economy to hong kong for 50 years. an international treaty. i don't think

we have to do more to hold china accountable. that'ss what we're trying to doi and the republican study committee at the same time is opposing some of these weak efforts that reward china rather than doing nothing to holdldf anything that adam kinzinger and nancy pelosi are for. y that's just an easy primer against congressmen. i need to get to to this becaue the president had what can onlyy be described a really bizarre call with ukraine's president today. today.he told the country to pre for impact. but then cnn and some in the gop reacted by being more concerned about, well, the isolationists at home wanthi where do you think this line of thinking comes from? is it is it a remnant of the trump administration? is it a growing influence of an isolationist or libertarian movement? this is a troubling debate that we're having if we can'teo stand you know, people look tod the united stateslo and look tow lady liberty for the understanding that we stand for democracy when we ceased to be for that then our own values are at risk. >>

china is an extension of the family. they behave. >> laura: china is the extension of the family. meet ray dalio, the founder of a hedge fund. plenty of american billionaires trace a large portion of their fortunes to china. they do business there and manufacture products there. it's not businesses -- job to set u.s. trade and investment policy. it's the responsibility of our elected officials. but it's not just about the money. he's also endorsing the ideology. he seems to be a true believer in the chinese way of doing things. almost sounds like a ccp sycophant. his comments had a conference. prosperity is a good thing, another way of saying sharing prosperity for most people. with its own net worth of $20 billion, he extolled the widespread opportunity supposedly provided by the communist system and admitted that his views on the topic were pretty much aligned with those of the communist leadership. well, while co dwelling on the atrocities committed by the ccp against its political and cultural opponents, he proceeded to lecture those in attendance on chinese history. a man afr

china has flipped the america card and the russia card and shuffled the deck and now russia and china in the united states against fraying nato. president biden got in and gave them short range missile treaty that putin wanted. he followed that up as tom cotton likes to point out by giving them nord stream. then maligned and rationale kgb watched afghanistan collapse and it concluded he can move. what's in the lethal aid package. not the 98500 soldiers mobilized pray for their families. did we send them land to sea missiles to threaten the russian navy? did we send them surface to air missiles to threaten russian fighters? i know they need anti-tank missiles. we did apparently send them. what matters now what we give ukraine to defend themselves and nothing else and we haven't given them enough and we haven't given it fast enough. >> bret: quickly, amy, how he handles this moment could it change the impact of how far he is handle ling other things. >> potentially it also means that a lot of the issues that he would like to get across particularly his domestic agenda may be abandoned b

those people need to pay the price for doing business with china. and not only looking at the ccp here, the ioc needs to be held accountable for taking the olympic student countries like this is despicable. >> laura: drew, there is a revolving door between the international olympic committee, the ioc, and the ccp because the former head of the ioc's media operations no consults for china. here is the state media touting the connection. beijing is ready for the winter olympics facilities are fantastic according to beijing 2022 senior consultant and that he, the former head of media operations of the ioc. drew, you have to hand it to china because they know who to hire her to get the lingo just right for the big p.r. coup. >> absolutely correct. and this goes on through the ioc and all the big corporations where they put people in place that they can make puppets and do what they want to do to achieve their goals and it is really, really sad. yeah, you know, it's like the fox watching the hen house. it's cliche. it is really side and when people wake

i don't understand why it's different for china. china has the same goals as the soviet union. they want to supplant us. so people, i think, in washington have to get serious about this. this is not a partisan issue, it's a national security issue. maria: yeah, for sure. and, of course, we've got the evidence right in front of us. this e-mail that we've reported on now for a few years, tony bob linskey, a partner of hunter biden at the time, we mails back and forth to chinese executives, officials saying here's how we're going to do the deal of oil company, 20% for hunter, it goes down the list as well as the partners and at the end 10% held by h, meaning hunter, for the big guy. so the big guy, apparently, is joe biden. where is this going? i mean, you know, social media has censored all of this. >> they have. and as i point out in the book, the big tech companies, all of them -- microsoft, google -- also have their, i would argue, compromised relationships with china. so it's a big problem, maria. american elites from wall street to silicon valley, a lot of them in washington

so there's a little bit of envyc of china that china can imposeer policies that other more democratic, more liberal countries have constitutional and other types of obstacles. so these are people who are liberal in tone but illiberal in fact. >> yeah, well, president xi used the forum, dinesh, as his own platform like he's going to use the olympics to propagandize to win a big pr b coup and especially railing against those who would defy his words. >> watch who should choose dialog overcovering tatian inclusiveness over exclusion and then against all forms of unilateralism, protection, hegemony or power politics. when he started down the protectionism route, i was like, wait a second. that sounds like george w. bush, you know, protectionism. you know,us isolationism.m. those are the isms that bush t used to talk about. e so the globalists do have their own lingo, dinesh, and it's always against i the nation state where china is the most national of any country out there. this is the exact point as he disavows realpolitik national interest, china is aggressively promoting its national

if i wanted to stop china, i would stop all imports from china, and get our allies to join with us. that would probably put them in line, because it would impact them so negatively economically. what is your response to his answer, and what would you do if you were present? >> president trump: we took in hundreds of billions of dollars from china with taxes and tariffs, and companies started moving back because it was no longer so good to be there. we had a huge impact. then, you look at what happened with -- if you take a look at what happened with everything having to do with russia, really, what he said last night, when he said "they may go in, they will go in," and he talks about a minor incursion. i said "i don't believe he said that." they use the term "green light." he was green-lighted. very interesting. the president of the ukraine, last night, he was seen in some unusual pictures. he could not believe what he heard. he couldn't believe what he heard, and i couldn't believe what -- whether you are for strong stoppage or not, you're really telling them "you might as well go

in communist china and other regimes? that have designed on this country. -- designs on this country, united states military, the infantry and marines and air force, are they training properly. what about career critical race theory and transgenderism, when about our commander in chief circumstance he up in the job? the answer is a disastrous situation, there is little prudence involved that is a big problem. as for hiding over the voting cite rights act, which has nothing to do with votingch rights, the rest of the agenda, none has do with to strengthening the u.s. military, our national security and ourselves preservation, none. if we had a real media here, you wouldn't what is happening overseas, we have to ignore the loud mouth ideologues, who are endless interventionist and believe that hyper sonic missiles, intercome continental ballistic missiles, once they each the american border they stop. no we're in a pickle. now, whose fault is this? it is the enemy's fault. who is the enemy? there is debate over this. so muc

. >> you mention china. do you think the time has come to begin lifting some of the tariffs on chinese imports or is there a need for china to make do on some of its commitments in the phase one agreement? >> laura: indeed, americans should note that a bipartisan group of senators actually wants more chinese solar panels to be sold in the u.s. so both destroying our oil and gas sector and giving the chinese an edge on green power. that is great. fifth, the media have attacked countries that might have helped us with ukraine. they were and are of the heavenly opposed the breaks and the media are slavishly -- media regularly trashes anyone in europe who dares to criticize the e.u. instead, with usually do in the press is stand with germany which itself is dependent on natural gas from russia. they also want the norge stream 2 pipeline and they actually opposed sending weapons to ukraine. in fact, sharing german-made weapons with ukrainians is out of the question, we have been told. the u.k. is even careful to

china is a bigger threat than russia to the united states. taiwan is much more important to the united states than is ukraine. we should be providing today as many or more weapons to taiwan as ukraine. we should be rushing more diplomatic and financial support to taiwan than to ukraine to avoid the kind of crisis with taiwan. >> martha: i want to show u.s. and china influence, which aishah just referred to in the map that she showed. this measures influence with other countries through economic cooperation. the united states in 1992, 160 countries that is down 140 in 2020. you can see china's influence with other countries, quite a bit in africa and other nations as well is up to 61. so they are working on supplanting our global position in every way across the board. if you look what's going on in taiwan, hong kong and economic initiatives being made in africa. you can talk about fentanyl crossing our certain border what are we doing to push back and what is the biden administration going to do to change this tide? >> martha, the most import

it does nothing to hold china accountable. that's why we have to defeat efforts like these. >> laura: this is from some of the highest levels of the senate. these efforts to ease the tariffs. they never liked trump's tariffs, they were exceptionally effective but they never liked them because they were used to being pushed by the business roundtable, wall street, and of course the chamber of commerce, to allow for the easy off shoring of american jobs and american manufacturing. so that's been a problem for the republican party, and was, congressman, before trump and trump tapped into that blue-collar sensibility that i think sustains the party today, and left the party leadership sells us out again. that's the concern, and i'm hearing it everywhere i traveled. >> i hear it everywhere i go as well and president trump taught us this. he was elected on a platform to hold china accountable, and here we are a year after president trump has left office and we have done nothing to hold china accountable. we have a study -- we haven'

china says not even its own citizens will have an easy time attending next month's olympic games. this comes ahead growing concern over the safety and security of american athletes. state department correspondent benjamin hall has our report. >> the first omicron case is being detected in beijing, with it comes the first new restriction. the china announced that no olympic tickets will now be sold and authorities will, instead, hand pick attend years. although only one case has so far been acknowledged, other cities in china locked down tens of millions of people and quarantined tens of thousands handful were found. leading to fears 17 days out from the olympics, harsher restrictions might soon be on the way. >> i'm very concerned about the safety and security of these athletes and what they may be exposed to while they are there fears are growing for athlete's prive is i as team u.s.a. urged them to leave all personal electronics at home and use burn a phones, wipe personal data from devices upon arrival and upon departure. the reports state it should be assumed all data and comm

china is currently building 55 brand-new coal-fired power plants, so call is okay in china but not in america? i think that is absolutely wrong. we need to put america first, and i'm going to stand up and fight for it. >> laura: i applaud your efforts. to play devil's advocate here, what do you say to people who say, this is the role of the government, the federal government should have the same restrictions on business and china as they had in business in the soviet union. so business is there to make money, so you can blame them, they are there to make money, big deal. what is your answer to that? >> my answer to that is laura, i am a market participant. i'm a market participant in this and what i am doing is stating my preferences here in the state and who we want to do business with. if they are not going to comply and meet our standards in terms of our energy industry here in west virginia, then they can go do business elsewhere. and i will say, there are other states that are standing up right now. listen, in november, i led a 15 state coalition where we put together a letter to

[laughs] why is that more important than what china is. china, china sentinel poisoning. pandemic. bad lawn furniture. why are we reporting them which >> this unfortunately i think this is a little too little, too late. people from here have been streaming their objections for quite some time. only recently has it started to swell and obviously it is too late. i saw a one more thing. to your fence and all point, china just recently had their first case of omicron. lockdowns and if you it. and they allege that it came to the mail from canada to which i say, you're welcome. because every year for the dea, they sent all the fat no, they have a primary source of fat and all in this country both in general answer using international mail. >> emily: now you know what it's like to get something [bleep] in the mail, that's how we feel every day. >> greg: i hate when i get something believe in the mail joe.

china tech war. it's been a while always great to have you with us we appreciate your perspective i would begin by saying the obvious, do the people in taiwan based on what you know and what you read agree with this idea of wanting to reunify the motherland. >> no they don't when you look at self identification which i think is the most important determinant about 80% of the people on the island view themselves as taiwanese not chinese. those people on the island who view as chinese not taiwanese are in the low single digits people say yes we want good relations with beijing but we are not china that's why xi jinping. for the people who don't study this everyday busy would appear to be parallels between the happening now in happen with hong kong can you draw any distinction from what happened then, can we seen any perils from your perspective. >> beijing believes it's one country, two systems not only to hong kong ruthless brutal measures they lost people taiwan taiwan's president was awkward when fo

and china has been given the grand spectacle we need to hold china accountable and we need to ask tough questions and we need to keep pushing. steve: that is a fair point we can disagree about that there are two parts of it, the leak from the lab and all the cover-up as you been really investigating in all the action that was taken or not taken that could've prevented this from turning into a pandemic if we had transparent information at the start that is clearly on china. do you think there is any prospect of getting a real answer whether the w.h.o. investigation standing today and do you think after the olympics president xi will be emboldened and think he can get away with anything? >> i think certainly president xi is emboldened not just because of the olympics but because of things that are happening all across the world in the south china sea and elsewhere and that's why we need to keep pushing, whatever the numbers that economists estimate 12 million people are dead unnecessarily in my view as a result totally avoidable pandemic if china can get away with this kind of disaster an

but the disturbing truth eventually came out about china. several labs, including government labs, had rnthe completion sequence of the virus within the first few days of january. but chineseirus officials blockd the sharing of any information about the virus. the data wasn't made public until january 11th. nths then from notes released months later, we found out that the whl chief of emergency is dr. michael ryan sounded the alarm on january eight. he said the fact is we're two to three weeks into an event. weto don't have a laboratorye diagnosis. we don't a have an age or geographic distribution. we don't have an ap curve as a result of china's cover up. then there were enormous delays in the global response and the development of vaccines and effective strategies to slow the virus has spread even china's own version of. the cdc admitted that between the day the full genome was first decoded by a government laby on january 2nd and the day the whl declared a global emergency on january 30th. the outbreak spread by a factor of 100 to 200 tim

north korea had nuclear ambitions for years and china has been aggressive in the south china sea for years, the south china sea accounts for at least a third of the global a maritime trade and strategic patrol for china's nuclear submarine so the question to you is, why stepped up different ties now? >> i think part of the reason is china's demonstrating increase of aggressiveness, they've increased control on the islands and we've seen them fly warplanes over taiwan so they are getting more aggressive and japan is feeling the heat as our friends in australia and india so it's important to come together with these allies and build relations and indicate to china this behavior is not acceptable. arthel: what i want to do now antony blinken on the u.s. working closer with japan, advanced military technology including hypersonic weapons space based threat. >> watching a research and development agreement to make it easier for scientists and engineers and program managers to collaborate on defense related issues countering hypersonic threats to advancing space-based capability. arthel: s

speaking of china, the u.s. navy is desperately trying to retrieve its most advanced warplane, the f335 from the depths of the south china sea. but guess who's going to try to beat them to it? the ccp, of course. speaking of which, on the eve of china posting the games invasion in beijing some house or republican think it's a good time to go soft. the "washington examiner" reporting in a letter house minority leader kevin mccarthy and a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including 60 republicans, urged president joe biden's top trade official to expand tariff exclusions on chinese goods. [laughs] joining me now is former deputy assistant secretary of defense for strategic strategy and forced of elements under president trump. also the author of the strategy of denial. this doesn't seem like the right time to be taking economic pressure off china now that we just learned we had a $1 trillion overall trade deficit last year. your thoughts. >> great to be with you, laura. i think in general you're absolutely right, we

china is home to 21% of the world's population. seven% of china is in productio agriculture. what we are witnessing is china being on a massive hoarding spree, buying of millions of acres of farmland to the tune o 16 million acres around the globe. in doing so, you dominate the global food supply. this presents a national food security for american farmers and for every american citizen. it also impacts the very security of our food to americans. it also creates an unfair playing field for american farmers. how can an individual american farmer compete with beijing's limitless pocket books? as you mention, the acquisition of smithfield, which is the largest producer of pork out of virginia, they also acquired 150,000 acres of farmland here in the united states. this is a serious concern for every american farmer and for every american. which, by the way, no state in the united states has any prohibition against a foreign acquisition of agricultural farmland. but yet china forbids any foreign entity from owning chin land. >> i was just going to make tha point. not just china.

whereas if you admit what china does about china in any form, you are done doing any business in china. so this was a stupid crass way of basically tipping his hat to the chinese and saying, don't worry guys, i'm not going to be critical to you which reminds us how much power they continue to have over the american business to include the nba. so the warriors distance themselves from this but also the league has not been all that kind, the comments of someone who's been open about china. i don't like the way we choose but clearly he's bowing to china. >> emily: and but you always say on the show here is, it's all about the cash. whether it's the nba not criticizing china or it's this guy worth $1.2 billion that depends on china for his deals, it's all about the cash, you've always pointed that out. speak money you heard the moment that pete was about to speak, i declared noel. human rights are his focus, both? no, no. he showed us who he is and the wires and at the league, everyone should be grateful for that in america because when you find out that there is a snake in your midst, it'

clearly china has a cover-up. they have been destroying samples, imprisoning journalists, and blocking any meaningful investigation. as you said, it's outrageous that we are about to start the winter olympics and china is being given this grand spectacle. we need to hold china accountable and ask tough questions of ourselves and keep pushing. steve: that's a fair points. we can disagree about that. there are two parts of it. there is the leak from the lab and all the cover-up as you have been investigating. and all the action taken or not taken that could have prevented this from turning into a pandemic if we had had transparent information from the start. what do you think? do you think there is any prospect of getting to the real answer? wherean does the w.h.o. investigation stand such as it is today. and do you think xi will be emboldened thinking he can get away with anything. >> i think he's emboldened not just because of the olympics, but because of things happening around the world and in the south china se
