Understanding China #14 Christian Briggs · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

0:25
Well, the world of AI is uh scaring the hell out of about all of us, I think.
0:29
Uh and uh it uh it is something, Kristen, it's probably because I mean there's so much fear out there, and there's so much we don't know, and uh that I think people are like their their worst fears are the visuals they see, and you know, a lot of it too is the films and the movies and stuff we've seen out of Hollywood uh that scare the hell out of you, you know, over time.
0:50
And now here we are.
0:51
It's like in and in uh full full stream here.
0:54
Uh let me uh welcome in here first.
0:56
Kristen Briggs is with us.
0:58
He's an economic strategist, founder and CEO of hard asset management and BMC Capital.
1:03
And uh Christian, uh I love talking to you, man.
1:06
Love having you on, but thanks for having me.
1:09
All right.
1:09
There are um so here's I want to start here.
1:13
There are three biggest fears.
1:15
I you did a fabulous paper here.
1:18
Uh uh a um what do you call it?
1:21
Well, what you call it, a white paper.
1:22
What would you call that?
1:23
Yeah, it's uh it's a white paper analysis on the various subject matters that are requested by people in DC.
1:29
Man, you are kick-ass on some of that stuff.
1:30
I've seen a couple of them now you've done, and uh, I mean, it's like wow, you look at these things, and they're not quick reads at all.
1:37
You put a lot of thought in and I actually I actually messaged you back to remember, and I said, Now, did you do all this?
1:43
Or do you, you know, I think you might have a room of uh people in there doing it, but you said, No, hell, I did it.
1:48
Uh, but what I got out of that is the three biggest fears for future generations is is what I'm calling it here.
1:55
One is quantum AI factor, okay.
1:58
The second is China versus USA, and the third is Islam in America.
2:03
Okay.
2:03
There's the three I got from that paper, right?
2:05
Is that correct?
2:06
Yeah.
2:06
All right.
2:07
I want to start with that number two, China versus USA.
2:10
This is interesting here.
2:12
Uh over the past period of time now, it's been been a while with President Trump.
2:17
He asserts that the United States is leading China in uh uh in AI by a significant margin, he says.
2:26
Those are his words.
2:27
Lead in China and AI by significant margin.
2:30
And then he says uh that uh we're these are his quotes.
2:34
Uh the uh US is leading China by a lot, and he does that a lot.
2:39
It's like huge, you know, it is so dramatic.
2:42
And you know, you gotta love that.
2:43
But um, when when Trump and others in the administration make those claims that the US is far ahead in the AI race, what goes through your mind, brother?
2:53
Salesmanship.
2:55
Trying to trying to trying to put people at ease, people that are kind of they know what's going on.
3:03
Um there's not there's not a lot of uh uh evidence that uh the US has really put forth the kind of efforts that needed to be put forth long time ago.
3:14
I mean, remember, China started on quantum about six years ago when they were fabricating the architecture for chips.
3:21
Okay, they knew at some point, I mean the US was going to cut them off on very sensitive chips.
3:27
Nvidia's chips are right now, probably the CPU or the GPUs, are extremely uh complex.
3:33
They're they're high level security.
3:35
Rocket Lab, which is a company always all also has some very sensitive chips that are under national security policy, and China needed the architecture.
3:44
It's not easy to make these chips because remember, you've got you've got uh let's call it the highways by the billions, okay?
3:52
And and on those highways is data systems, a little baby packets of information that are like trucks, and they're moving across these different circuits and they're moving and jamming on a server all over.
4:05
And they're creating what they call an intelligence instant.
4:08
An instant is a command that we we request for information, and at the speeds are going, the chips are really becoming the vital uh heartbeat of the of the next generation of technology deliverance, right?
4:20
Software does the calculations, the hardware actually does the speed to create the calculations based on the commands and the instances.
4:28
And China has been running uh a fairly significant amount of money as an example, Malcolm.
4:34
This is this is gonna blow your way.
4:36
If you look at five years, I mean, we could really say three years, but let's say the five years total, it sounds better.
4:42
They spent about 150 to 165 billion dollars on quantum.
4:47
Okay, quantum.
4:49
When you look at the United States and you take in private money, gain non-public, non-government, uh before Trump, during the Biden administration being the primary part of the five, five, six years, uh, we spent about 12 dollars.
5:01
I mean, I'm being very, very uh um sarcastic here, but probably in terms of real spend, maybe a billion dollars.
5:09
I was going to say, uh you're being facetious, you're being I am being facetious, but it's it's that it's literally that bad.
5:15
Wow.
5:15
Like you didn't even spend enough money to make the meter.
5:19
So when those comments come out because this happens a lot when I see this in the political spectrum, and Trump does it big.
5:27
He's very verbose, uh, braggadoce.
5:30
He does it in many, many areas.
5:32
Uh and when he does that, it actually scares the hell out of me.
5:36
Uh when I wish he would have, I don't you said something.
5:38
You said like, well, he does that to sort of make people feel good or comfortable or like uh see.
5:44
I see I see that as the opposite.
5:46
I think it should scare the hell out of everybody because to me, uh, first of all, I don't think we're that far ahead of China at all.
5:52
In fact, I don't know that we're ahead of China at all.
5:55
And maybe you can help help me answer that.
5:57
But I have a sneaking suspicion, as you just indicated, that they are far ahead of us, and one day they're gonna open up the door and like, oh, by the way, you didn't see any of this here at all is because of the investments or some of the things I've seen already.
6:10
But but and and you know, when he throws that out there in the way that he does, Kristen, here's what I'm wondering.
6:15
You know, you you see some of these uh back in China, and you see Xi Jinping is saying, okay, you son of a bitch.
6:20
I gotcha.
6:21
You keep talking like that and what have you, and I'll show you who's ahead in AI very shortly.
6:25
Does that ever come across your minds?
6:28
Every day.
6:30
You agree with me.
6:31
You agree with me.
6:31
Yeah, yeah, I do agree, but I I can take it further.
6:34
Not only is China more advanced in uh computing speed, which is what quantum represented speed, they're further ahead in that speed.
6:45
Right now, what I look at is a kind of a quasi, quasi quantum, maybe not to the full level of the quintrillionth calculations in a quintillionth of a second, which is really what defines quantum.
7:00
But they're real close to that in both data and communications uh sending and receiving.
7:00
But they're real close to that in both data and communications, uh sending and receiving.
7:05
Okay.
7:05
Okay.
7:05
Okay, transmission.
7:05
Okay, transmission.
7:07
They are closer because what they did was during the Biden administration, they built a secret moon base on the far side of the moon with permission and understanding from the Biden administration because they couldn't do anything against them because Xi Xi Ping made it very clear.
7:07
They are closer because what they did was during the Biden administration, they built a secret moon base on the far side of the moon with permission and understanding from the Biden administration because they couldn't do anything against them, because Xi Jinping made it very clear.
7:22
There were two two challenges that the Biden administration faced that were extremely severe.
7:22
There were two challenges that the Biden administration faced that were extremely severe.
7:26
It was based on Hunter and Joe Biden's corruption.
7:26
It was based on Hunter and Joe Biden's corruption.
7:28
Number one,
7:28
Number one, because uh Xi Xi Ping wanted the resources of Afghanistan, he basically told Biden, you're gonna leave Afghanistan in 30 days, or we'll expose you.
7:38
Well, guess what?
7:39
You can't deploy tens of thousands of people and troops in 30 days.
7:43
It's mathematically impossible, as we saw with the deaths of those wonderful service men and women that unfortunately were a casualty of a corrupt uh administration corrupt uh individual.
7:54
So on the 31st day after we left, what happened?
7:58
They announced China announced a 28-year partnership trade agreement with who the Taliban who became the head of the regime for Afghanistan.
8:06
So what which is now about a trillion dollars worth of resources extracted.
8:11
So China got what they wanted.
8:13
Number two, during the Biden administration, they let Biden know they're going to build a moon base uh on the far side of the moon, which they did.
8:21
They're going to extract helium three, H3, which they are, and they were gonna utilize that for a cooling for a cooling element within a controlled uh atmosphere or controlled systems to cool the quantum speed systems that you're gonna have to have in order to achieve quantum, which they are not eved, nor have they were been given the level of speed that they're that they want to get to, but based on what their their technology has evolved and it's evolving quick.
8:50
But remember, we don't have government sponsored systems until Trump got back into office, and even then it's taken him some time to understand the significance of how far China is ahead of us.
9:02
So when you take a look at what quantum is, it is bigger, faster than light speed.
9:10
Yeah, that yeah he I get it, I get it.
9:13
I mean, you just hit AI now on something, and you see it's instantaneous what you get back.
9:18
I don't know how much more instantaneous it could be uh when it is that fast.
9:22
Uh you you just said some really uh shocking things here.
9:25
So we need to slow down just a bit here.
9:27
You're moving on quantum speed yourself, and uh I I need to uh disinformation on the far side of the moon, all the reports as we just did this trip with uh Artemis too, and all the grandar and all the hoopla about it and going around the far side, furthest anybody's ever been, and so on and so forth is what we heard.
9:47
That was the public space, you know, being said, and um so uh straight out question for us.
9:54
This the statement you make about the far side in this deal uh regarding the base there.
10:00
How many people know about this?
10:02
How widespread is this information?
10:05
Not very probably fingers, people fingers until you so how do you know?
10:10
Can I ask you that?
10:12
How do you know that's matter?
10:14
Does it matter?
10:15
Well, it does because some people are gonna think you're full of shit.
10:18
Okay.
10:19
So I'm just no, I'm just asking.
10:20
I don't know.
10:21
I'm not being a smart guy.
10:22
So how do we know that's how do you know it's true?
10:24
How do we know it's true?
10:25
Is can you give me any hint?
10:27
Or just tell me if you can't tell me.
10:30
I just know it's true.
10:32
You can't tell.
10:33
I'll give you a hint.
10:34
Please.
10:35
Why did Elon Musk spend 10 billion dollars building systems to go to Mars and three, four months ago, he completely abandoned that and said he's gonna go immediately and build a base on the moon?
10:46
Why did the administration send for the first time in 50 some years astronauts to circle the far side of the moon and do that?
10:57
NASA, it was a DOW sanctioned military operation to photograph and to get the reports on the Chinese base on the far side of the moon.
11:07
So seriously.
11:08
So Elon Musk know knows all this then.
11:11
Yeah, he's got he also got by clearance.
11:14
He he knows what's happened with China and all of this.
11:16
Yeah, we all know.
11:17
We all know that they're in the in that level.
11:19
Well, we you're saying we all, you just said it was a handful, uh, small number.
11:24
There's there's the administration, there's the we.
11:26
Okay, all right.
11:27
I'm just telling you, there's a there's a moon, there's a on the far side of the moon, right?
11:31
The church utilizing to extract H3 off the lunar surface, and that they're using that as one of the three different ways of which to achieve quantum through the cooling of ships.
11:42
Well, the whole thing.
11:43
So does Trump know this?
11:46
Of course he knows it.
11:47
Who do you think orders Musk to use SpaceX's resources, gives him tens of billions of dollars in contact?
11:53
So if Trump knows this, when you say, of course, I take that as your your smart ass, you should know.
11:58
Okay, fine.
11:59
Um, fine.
12:01
I hate it when people use that word, of course.
12:03
But but anyways, uh, other people know that.
12:05
Of course, you should know that.
12:07
Uh, but um so no, we don't know this.
12:10
That's why I'm asking you.
12:11
So if Elon Musk does know, and uh if um and and Trump knows, you're saying, okay, fine.
12:17
Uh then why hasn't Trump put this information?
12:20
Is Trump doesn't hold a secret, uh, hardly I don't know.
12:24
Oh, he holds secrets, Malcolm.
12:26
He's very good at that.
12:27
The ones he shares with people, okay, are the ones that are utilized in various methods to create reactions.
12:33
Okay.
12:35
He's very I agree.
12:36
I agree.
12:37
All right, yeah.
12:37
I agree.
12:38
Yeah, I I don't disagree with that.
12:40
Uh everything is strategic in nature that he kind of does.
12:43
Sometimes it's just it's just bangs your head, you know, like I can't believe he's saying that.
12:48
And uh, you know, whatever, and then it comes back, and there probably is a reason why.
12:53
Um, when you made the comment for a moment here about Afghanistan, that started to make sense to me.
12:59
Um, because everybody questioned as to why that would have happened the way it happened, and everybody not only questioned, but and there was never an answer back, any logical answer.
13:10
I I not even an illogical answer, I don't recall, as to why we left all that damn equipment there, why we left that all there in the middle of the night, um like was unheard of at what we did, and then left.
13:22
That made zero sense from any administration, Democrat, Republican, independent, or communist.
13:27
I mean, but yet we did that.
13:30
Uh that was shocking, but that and you know, this bit you say where Xi Xing P China says, oh, we're gonna reveal you.
13:41
You know, we all felt that.
13:42
We talked about that back prior to the laptop deal, prior to the Hunter stuff, all of the scandalous stuff, the things he did all over the globe.
13:50
We talked about that.
13:51
Why hasn't this information, Christian?
13:54
Serious question, not of course, but why isn't this all why isn't this exposed to the mass degree right?
14:00
Read.
14:00
Why don't how did I mean how does this stuff stay so I mean there's gotta be more people know about this?
14:00
Why don't how did I mean how does this stuff stay so I mean there's gotta be more people know about this, like we're talking about right now.
14:08
Like we're talking about right now.
14:10
You know, you know, if it's not a conspiracy theory, right?
14:10
You know, if it's not a conspiracy theory, right?
14:14
I know.
14:14
I know.
14:15
Well, it's not a conspiracy theory.
14:15
Well, it's not a conspiracy theory.
14:17
Malcolm, let me let me explain to you exactly how this all went down.
14:17
Malcolm, let me let me explain to you exactly how this all went down.
14:20
There are people, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you an astonishing revelation.
14:20
There are people, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you an astonishing revelation.
14:26
You're not gonna believe this, but not everybody in the government is pro-Trump.
14:26
You're not gonna believe this, but not everybody in the government is pro Trump.
14:30
Shocking, huh?
14:31
Oh, that is shocking.
14:32
Of course, people that protect, they protect the agenda of the far left socialist communist like Obama.
14:41
Obama is a card carrying communist.
14:43
He doesn't believe that everybody should be less or more than their other he's a Marxist, he's a Marxist.
14:53
Marxist, so you have people that will always remember the movie The Omen.
14:58
There's always somebody to protect the little antichrist.
15:01
Okay.
15:02
There's always the various things are done by Obama the Antichrist.
15:07
Probably not.
15:08
Well, no, wait, you know why I say that?
15:09
Hold on, I gotta I got a segue here because you know why I had I well no, I had um when I was on uh before America even I when I was on uh broadcast on national broadcast and on the AM dial myself, I would get that question asked a lot.
15:23
I I railed against the Obama years because this is again before the network year, just before the network, because we launched when the fake news was blowing up with Trump and all that in 2016 when he got elected in 2015, 2016.
15:35
And people used to ask me all the time.
15:37
That question was asked to me because I railed against Obama in the way that I did.
15:42
Do you think he's the antichrist?
15:43
Do you I was asked so many times on here on ear from announcers different ones, and I would always step back and I would say to them, Kristen, I would say, no, I don't think he's the anti Christ, but I think he's related in the family.
15:56
He's definitely related in the family.
15:58
He's one of them, he's part of something.
16:00
Uh, he's as evil as can be.
16:02
Just look at all of it, and and you see the background of what he tried to do to our country.
16:06
Yeah, it was a transformation, all right.
16:08
Transformation from hell, uh, is what he was trying to do here.
16:11
And this is why Trump became enemy number one, in fact.
16:14
That's why I believe Trump, because he was so audacious and out there that he had no restrictions, there was nothing to pull that dude back, he was out of control to the system.
16:25
Call it whatever you want.
16:26
Deep state is a gentle word for God's sakes, but he was out of control to the system, and uh, and that's why they went to bury him as a candidate the first time as an elected.
16:38
I mean, the 25th amendment, all the impeachments.
16:40
I mean, they tried every freaking thing they could to get him out of there, and then he comes back.
16:45
Unbelievable.
16:46
What a story.
16:47
What a story, huh?
16:50
So I guess some yeah, go ahead.
16:53
Because sometimes good guys do finish first.
16:56
Trump is a good guy, smart, calculated.
17:01
Uh, but he's he's still human.
17:03
I mean, you know, everybody expects him to walk on water uh simultaneously while he's holding the torch.
17:09
But sometimes we all uh have to take a break or we have to take uh we skip rather than jump, run walk.
17:16
But if you look at the overall picture, what we're facing, China is a isn't 10,000 pound gorilla in the corner that for 40 years nobody wanted to poke because we needed their low-cost manufacturing to keep our inflation low.
17:31
They were one of a number of countries that was willing to buy our stupid debt so we could finance a socialist style housing market, which it was because we artificially lowered interest rates to be able to have the very wealthiest people be able to own the most amount of wealth in history, and now what's happening?
17:49
We're paying the price for this now, by the way.
17:51
We're paying the price for it.
17:51
Now China's come calling saying, you owe me a million a trillion dollars, we don't have it.
17:55
Number two, now they've taken what we were what we were contracting them to manufacture.
18:01
They're making it themselves under their own ownership, their own brand, their own technology, which they ripped off by the way, either through hacking or or partnership deals, and they're doing it better, and they're undermining the United States currency, the dollar, and undermining the United States sovereignty as a national security uh problem, and they're trying to achieve quantum, which is at light speed.
18:23
And so don't be surprised when Trump says or does things that would run a little bit in the what did he just say kind of category?
18:33
Yeah, he's doing because remember, he's still pushing a 10,000-pound rock up a hill.
18:39
Yeah, yeah.
18:41
Yeah.
18:42
So at 250 now, would you be surprised if we woke up?
18:46
We went to sleep like Rip Van Winkled there and woke up uh 50 years from now in 300, and uh we the world would we would look quite different with China and the US?
18:55
Oh, we'll be globalized completely.
18:58
Yeah, so we will we'll so we'll become China's bitch.
19:02
No, but what's gonna happen is we'll have some cooperation agreements, all part all parties around the world, all the top 10 to 15 countries will have a say into the globalization.
19:13
Think of it as the EU.
19:15
Here's what's crazy.
19:16
Yeah, the European Union agrees independent countries, independent, but elected by the people, okay, the officials within those independent the prime minister of Italy, the president of France, the prime minister of the UK, these are elected officials.
19:30
Would we agree on that?
19:32
Yes.
19:33
All right, but they gave up their control to non-elected officials in Brussels, Belgium.
19:38
100%.
19:39
Yeah, 100%.
19:40
Which means that means the will of the people is not being taken into consideration for policy.
19:46
That's right.
19:47
That's right.
19:47
That's right.
19:48
But yeah, I could even say something even sarcastic back a bit that is factual that the 50 states in our country also gave up Bob Power to the bitch in Washington, DC.
19:59
But but the states have the right to do some independent things that far exceed the independent values or the real well, within the limits, within very limits lately, it seems to me.
20:09
Uh, we've lost control.
20:10
States' rights are they're lost so much today.
20:13
The federal government has become the gorilla in the room.
20:15
No, I just look at that equation because I fight that all the time, and I I it's not maybe as extreme as what you just said, but I mean, it is a fact that the states need to get their rights back.
20:24
I mean, what people think the government created the states, it's not that way at all.
20:28
The states created the federal government, and they did the 13 original colonies, correct?
20:33
That was very well said, just like the civil war was never about slavery.
20:36
That's that's right.
20:37
That's right.
20:38
So listen, listen, the the United Nations, which is a worthless organization.
20:42
So we're talking about the way I just said 50 years with you.
20:46
We're talking about a uh a new united global enterprises of some sort with all these dudes on there and stuff.
20:52
That's what we're looking at.
20:53
Some sort of a global yeah, so you're gonna see some quasi.
20:57
The way they're gonna be able to do this is by the tokenization of money and assets.
21:00
The digital and the tokenization of money and assets.
21:04
Once you centralize on the blockchain for the people that and you take a centralization of a bank or a government, and you're power, it means you have limited amount of people that have vast amounts of control over people and wealth.
21:04
Once you centralize on the blockchain for the people that and you take a centralization of a bank or government and you power, it means you have limited amount of people that have vast amounts of control over people and wealth.
21:21
Once you continue to move to a digital format, and we're moving to a digital format, it's one of those things where people are like, oh, no, we're gonna.
21:21
Once you continue to move to a digital format, and we're moving to a digital format, it's one of those things where people are like, oh, no, we're going to be able to keep our sovereignty, or we're going to be able to keep our way of life, and we're going to be able to keep our privacy, security, and our money, and not commingle it under this new total area.
21:40
I mean, look at what's happening in China with the digital Yuan.
21:42
It's all it's all centralized.
21:44
Well, we're going to eventually get there.
21:45
There's no way around it.
21:46
If we want to play on the same rails that China and other countries, like take the Bank of International Settlements in Switzerland, these guys are as it gets.
21:55
They're the ones who are the centralization of all centralized digital currencies around the world, and they're pushing for the programmable money.
22:03
There was an article just recently talking about how nefarious uh these people are.
22:08
And and what I like to say is eventually we're going to get to that one world order, not new, but it's already been established.
22:16
It's one world order.
22:19
The hope is that the United States will have a chair, a seat at that table, but there's no guarantee we will.
22:25
Gotcha, gotcha.
22:26
That's well said.
22:27
I don't debate or argue any of that back.
22:29
Uh it is uh uh you can sense that.
22:32
And that's why really over the past decade, Kristen, and it even I mean, even before that, but um we have a lot of people that uh are in fear of the globalist, and we push back on that on this network.
22:47
Uh a lot of our experts do consistently because they understand the gravity of what you just said, and they sense and feel that that is coming in ways that people do not understand right now.
22:57
Now, Trump, when he fought a lot of that in these elections he's done, he was really trying to bring back nationalism and bring back uh uh America, the whole America first, make America great again, which again the left was horrified that such a thing would exist.
23:11
And uh they were already in the globalist tank, uh, the radical left, uh, the communist and uh all of this.
23:17
Um it's uh it's the direct opposite of that's where we're having a struggle today in our country.
23:23
Uh this division we're we're involved, we're we're having is that uh the um this is not at all what the framers and founders sought out when they fought and we carried on independent.
23:33
We're we're you you know that's what people have to understand.
23:36
We're in this fight of existence, we're in this fight of a lifetime.
23:39
At 250 years, as a baby, as a baby on the planet, really.
23:43
Um, we now are in this fight of our lifetime happening right now, and it's a remarkable time, it's a remarkable year, even uh, at our semi-quincentennial to be talking about some of this in the way that we are Christian, you know, really and truly, you know.
23:56
So, anyways, um, all right, I I gotta come you said so much good there, so much interest and information here.
24:02
So, you know, this this whole thing now, all right.
24:06
So Trump was so when he's making these statements about even the AI, uh, we're so far ahead.
24:12
We're this, that, the other, and we're gonna be the first ones to have a land uh to a uh uh base on the moon and so on and so forth.
24:19
He knows the truth of these things.
24:21
So what is he?
24:24
Is this I mean, don't you think some of that is like rubbing?
24:27
I mean, I'm it's a real question.
24:28
Isn't some of this like rubbing salt in their face of uh the Chinese premiere on the people over there, or is it I hope so?
24:38
I hope so.
24:39
I hope people can I hope these both Shishi Ping right in the eye and Shishi ping blinds for a while because it takes a point.
24:45
There's no there's nothing to pissing them off is not a problem at this point.
24:49
There's nothing they could, yeah.
24:50
No, okay.
24:51
They're not gonna stop.
24:53
They've been doing this since 1850.
24:55
So when it all started in 1850, when the British occupied and and seized Hong Kong to basically take over and and they they cut off all the food and trade supplies for China, and they basically try to starve him into submission, which they worked, and yeah, you know, here come the US and England to do the opium war.
25:14
So China remembers they do not for Oh no, they know for they got a long memories or like uh definitely like memory.
25:21
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
25:22
No, no.
25:22
And they play they played the long game.
25:24
We we played to the next election.
25:26
That's our problem here in this country here.
25:28
Nobody gives a rat's ass.
25:29
They only they don't play for the real country.
25:32
Trump is one of those back to what you've said a couple of times here.
25:35
He's uh brilliant in the way, but he also is an anomaly to the game here that's being played.
25:40
Totally, totally this is why he offsets so many people, and he's so polarized, and people can't get and and it's good to talk to a guy like you because you're able to set the record straight in some of these things to really make you understand what the war is about.
25:54
This is an important conversation.
25:55
I really like this today, uh, because it puts a lot of things in the right mindset.
26:00
When it's not like we have every answer, that's not what we're talking about here, Christian, but it's like putting the conversation to the right context, the right mindset so we can understand what those battles are ahead and what's coming our way now.
26:14
Now, with all that said here, you know, we knew Biden was a real piece of shit.
26:20
I mean, there was no doubt about it.
26:22
He was a real piece of shit.
26:23
Uh, and all the things he did with his family and this whole thing.
26:27
This uh it was a professional current day mafia out on the public stage in uh DC in the Oval Office and all the work he'd been doing for all those years as the VP.
26:36
I mean, it was a mafia, that's what it is, the family.
26:40
Uh, and I think Jill is the head of the mafia there, probably.
26:43
I don't know.
26:44
She's like whip slapping.
26:46
Consularly, I mean, she's like she's like the underboss.
26:49
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:50
I mean, come on, go on.
26:51
It's gotta be, it's gotta be.
26:52
Uh, but I get I always laugh when I see that.
26:55
How would a woman allow all that to go on with her family and her son and the others and so on and so forth?
26:59
Well, you know, you you figure it out, people, you know, I don't know.
27:02
No, because she would never allow it if she wasn't a party to the party.
27:05
100%.
27:05
I figured that out sometime back, my friend.
27:07
Uh of course.
27:09
Uh, and I did do that.
27:11
I said, okay, I got her number, man.
27:13
All right.
27:14
Um, well, I'm trying to explain this to people in in um, you know, simple terms here.
27:19
Um, it it a lot of it makes sense in the way that we're talking about here.
27:23
All right, let's do this.
27:25
Let's uh talk about uh this China trip.
27:28
I'm very curious to get your uh take and your perception.
27:31
This trip now is coming pretty quick, depending when folks hear this and see this.
27:35
Uh, or and we're gonna talk after the trip, you and I will uh discuss a lot of that once we see what happens.
27:41
What what what do you anticipate with that trip?
27:44
What's the objective that Trump has that Xi has?
27:47
Uh what do you what's your sense?
27:49
I mean, bottom cliff notes, bottom line, but what what's what's the objective for both sides and how does the trip go, brother?
27:55
What do you think?
27:56
The number one thing to recognize is that China will now realize to the full extent just how much Trump knows of the current and the future plans of China to undermine the US's sovereignty.
28:00
To the full extent, just how much Trump knows of the current and the future plans of China to undermine the U.S.'s sovereignty.
28:11
That's the number one thing.
28:11
That's the number one thing.
28:13
Hold on, hold on.
28:13
Hold on, hold on.
28:14
So you're you're saying to me, hold on.
28:14
So you're you're saying to me, hold on.
28:15
You're saying, man, there's going to be a lot of private talk in private rooms, and we can't be a fly on the wall.
28:15
You're saying then there's gonna be a lot of private talk in private rooms, and we can't be a fly on the wall, but that's what's going on.
28:21
But that's what's going on.
28:22
There's gonna be a lot of that on the backside of this trip, right?
28:22
There's going to be a lot of that on the backside of this trip, right?
28:24
A lot of I'm not so sure that I'm not sure conversation will be actually to the extent of what I just said, the understanding.
28:24
A lot of people.
28:25
I'm not so sure that I'm not sure conversation will be actually to the extent of what I just said.
28:29
The understanding is now.
28:30
Okay.
28:31
They'll have cordial speaking, they'll have mediators, they'll have people that will kind of talk further, and then to expand on the conversations at a later date.
28:39
But bottom line is Biden was corrupt.
28:43
He had to be, he was put out of the way, and that way China could make their moves.
28:48
They made more progress during the four years of the Biden administration, China and coalition, the partners and members.
28:56
I think there's like 21 now of the original five that made more progress and undermined the U.S.'s ability to be able to maintain the consistency of growth in every category, whether it was energy independence, energy dominant, whether it was technology, whether it was quantum.
29:14
And they made it very clear because China controlled and does control through through direct or indirect partnerships, through basically predatory lending.
29:23
When they were two billion dollars to some of these countries, Malcolm, there's no way when you spend the money on bridges, roads, schools, hospitals, airports, ports, that that country could ever pay it back.
29:36
And they China knew that.
29:37
They knew that countries in Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, uh, even parts of Australia, there was no way that they could pay it back.
29:47
China didn't want the money back because when you're looking at a pawn shop, China was the largest pawn shop with the biggest bank account.
29:54
And when people to China to pawn their stuff, they China said, No problem, we'll give you 30 cents on the dollar.
30:00
You don't know this, but we do.
30:02
You can take our money and build whatever you want, which they did, but when you can't pay it back, which they couldn't, guess what?
30:08
China came a call and goes, don't worry about it.
30:11
We now are your partners, and kind of, but we own everything, so we'll let you know what we give you if we give you anything at all.
30:18
So all the lithium, the cobalt, the gold, the silver, the platinum, the plate, and the rhodium, all the critical infrastructure elements, resources of these countries were exploited through predatory lending.
30:30
Now China controls through all these different deals, give or take, up to 90% of the critical, the critical to be able to maintain the growth of AI.
30:42
Trump is coming from behind fortune cutting deal, yeah, making it happen in order to at least get back to ground zero.
30:53
That's a fact.
30:54
Yeah.
30:54
No, that's that's uh I agree with what you say there.
30:57
And uh, and then you see China buying all this farmland up again.
31:00
That's been pretty hot in the recent days here again.
31:03
Like, okay, we forgot to, you know, that's been burning for a while now, and they're buying it near what's the other story, part of that story near military bases and stuff like that.
31:13
Oh, yeah, strategically.
31:15
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:16
And then, and then you had all the open, and then you gotta see then, you know, and then you think about all of this, guys.
31:22
Uh yeah, everybody just listen.
31:23
You think about how illogical some of the stuff was like, okay, so you see, think about how crazy this was.
31:30
We talk about a logical, like, all right.
31:32
So Biden has total open borders, like we've never seen this in our country in 250 years, in 246 years at that point.
31:41
We had never seen like something of that magnitude, like ever.
31:49
Like, like why like right?
31:51
That's it's like you can't even fathom, you don't even have the words to say how asinine that was.
31:57
I mean, that would be like not the president of the United States doing that.
32:01
That would be like the worst enemy we ever had doing that.
32:04
I mean, who would do that?
32:06
Who would do that?
32:06
So you see all that happen, and none of it made sense.
32:09
And I remember we reported on it many times, and I remember how illogical it was, and nobody was really talking about how insane this is.
32:15
And I'm thinking, what is going on here?
32:17
And why don't the American people rebel and why don't we do something about this?
32:20
And I'm talking to all these immigration experts and Tom Homan all the time, talking to him and talking to Center for Immigration Studies, and everybody's like, hey, well, man, you know, what's and they're trying to make sense of what is you can't even make sense of anymore.
32:32
And we went through that for several years, and it went on and on and on and on and on.
32:37
And then um, you see, as you say, all this other stuff is going on, and then we see all the farmland happening and all the technology, and uh then we get into the situation where they start the COVID thing, uh, you know, right out of the Wuhan lab, lied about all of it, which is what they always do.
32:52
Uh, that ravages the world, kills a ton of people, uh, screws up things, uh, destroys a lot of the momentum here in our country, screws up Trump's term, uh, which is what they were trying to do, and funny it was COVID that succeeded in doing that.
33:06
It wasn't the impeachments, the 25th amendment or the guys insane or uh something else that's happening, right?
33:12
Christian, all that happened, you know.
33:14
Yeah, and um, and you wonder you can't, but the illogicalness of this, and then you see Afghanistan happen, and it's like, well, why?
33:21
What kind of a president leaves a country to any back?
33:26
We didn't even we left nothing that way, and we leave all the equipment there, and we leave like somebody shut the lights off, the electricity went off.
33:32
Let's get the hell out of Josh, the hanging off the planes and hanging off everything else, right?
33:35
I mean, it's like what is that about?
33:37
The equipment we left, Malcolm, which total well over 100 billion dollars in hard cost.
33:42
Yeah, the Taliban was using that within weeks.
33:45
I know, I know.
33:47
And they were, and I don't know the conversation other than Xi Xi Ping gave one directive to Biden, and Biden had no choice but to follow it.
33:56
You have 30 days to get out.
33:58
I think you're right.
33:58
I think you're right.
33:59
I think you're right.
34:00
And look at look at uh uh with the the airport in Kabul there.
34:03
Uh that was a strategic place we would have never given up, never given up.
34:07
Right outside of China for God's sakes.
34:09
And of course, China wanted us out of there.
34:11
He said, Bitch, get out of there, man, Biden, and uh Biden left for the tail between his legs.
34:15
And so what I'm saying is how illogical is this?
34:18
Well, it's very illogical, right?
34:20
But it's very logical in Biden world and what was happening here, and then you go on with some of the other statements you make, like the moon base, which I I did not know that.
34:28
That was uh a bomb you dropped on the doorstep here, and uh, and it's like okay.
34:34
Uh, but then you wonder, and I ask you these questions, who knows who doesn't know, kind of thing.
34:38
So when Trump throws these comments out there, it's like it's like um he knows the truth, but he does this, and so it's just sort of a cat and mouse game, I guess, more or less with Xi Jinping.
34:50
My dear friend Xi Jinping, and now he's gonna be out there in a couple of weeks, uh in a week or so.
34:55
And it's like, my dear friend, we we just love each other, and we have such great respect for each other.
35:00
For each other.
35:01
And uh I think they do have respect for each other.
35:01
And uh I think they do have respect for each other.
35:03
I think they actually like each other because China respects strength.
35:03
I think they actually like each other because China respects strength, China respects a warrior mentality.
35:09
China respects a warrior mentality.
35:14
They don't respect weak.
35:14
They don't respect weak, like Joe Biden, he was corrupt when he first became a U.S.
35:16
Like Joe Biden, he was corrupt when he first became a U.S.
35:20
Senator.
35:20
Senator.
35:20
Remember, he said in my career.
35:20
Remember, he said in an interview, my career 100.
35:23
100%.
35:25
Okay.
35:25
Okay, Hunter Biden sold his own people.
35:25
Hunter Biden sold his own people out for 35 million dollars, give or take.
35:33
He sold out his country.
35:35
Yeah.
35:35
He is soulless person that has no integrity and no character.
35:40
It's flawed.
35:42
Do something like that so he could smoke crack and have.
35:46
And Joe Biden said, Well, gosh, don't forget me.
35:49
I'm the big guy.
35:50
I need 10%.
35:51
Remember those days?
35:52
Oh, yeah.
35:52
Oh, yeah.
35:53
You know, in yeah, I say, yes, I know.
35:55
I remember those days, but but Kristen, you know what really irritates me is that Americans don't remember.
36:01
We have such short memories in this country on all this kind of crap.
36:04
And so now they're talking about, well, maybe the Democrats are going to win in 26 and 28.
36:09
You even believe that's going to happen.
36:10
Is that correct?
36:11
I think it's going to be a race for the money.
36:13
Would you have to believe here?
36:14
Here's where it comes right down to.
36:17
Not that people will forget.
36:18
People are deciding.
36:20
They they okay.
36:21
Here's how bills work.
36:22
I sponsor a bill.
36:23
Somebody comes to the floor.
36:25
They say, okay, this bill's got all this different stuff in it.
36:28
Okay.
36:28
Let's say it's the budget bill in the house.
36:30
The way the house or lower Congress works is every member of the house that represents a district in a state has to have something in the bill that represents a give.
36:40
Like I need something.
36:42
My constituents need something so I can stay in the office.
36:45
So I write the bill.
36:47
It's out there.
36:48
All of a sudden, all these people come to come to the floor.
36:50
Oh, I love the bill.
36:51
But then in session or in conference, you know, in private rooms, they're cutting deals.
36:56
Well, give me three billion dollars so I can build the school in ABC in this state.
37:02
Oh, okay, great.
37:04
The way Congress works is nobody reads the entire bill.
37:08
They don't care.
37:09
There's no way they could read these bills.
37:11
Nancy Pelosi said, let's just pass the bill.
37:13
We'll figure out what's in it with the ACA, the affordable care act.
37:17
That was proof positive, but I know this anyway.
37:19
So as long as they get something in it, even if that bill is bad, even if it's long-term historically bad, they care.
37:29
Trump cares.
37:30
That's why Trump has been trying to change the way of which we pass things and the way in which we do trade.
37:38
Yeah.
37:39
And how we do look at look at the uh our trade deficit.
37:43
It's going every month.
37:45
Look at the energy independence.
37:47
Everybody's like, oh my God, a hundred dollar oil is going to destroy the economy.
37:50
The economy's not destroyed.
37:52
Look at the stock market.
37:53
I think you would agree with me when I say he's he's trying to what your suggestion is he's trying to fix the country more holistically, holistically.
38:00
Yes.
38:00
He's going in doing things that politicians just don't do, Christian.
38:03
They just don't they don't know how to do it because they can't talk to each other.
38:07
They only care the only thing they care about, Malcolm.
38:09
Yeah, is self-preservation, get real.
38:12
100%.
38:12
100%.
38:13
What's in it for me for this every single bill for my constituents.
38:16
I tell uh I tell people all the time we're dealing with a historic uh a historic figure on on the global stage here, a historic figure, being Donald Trump.
38:26
I've said it repeatedly like them, love them, leave them, whatever.
38:29
You're dealing with a historic figure.
38:30
A lot of people don't understand that, they don't get it.
38:32
I got friends that are moderates independents, left of center, they don't get it.
38:36
They think he's they all have TDS, they all got TDS, they're all out of their minds.
38:41
No, no, they are out of their minds.
38:42
You can't have a rational conversation with them ever, ever.
38:45
I guess so fury for some of them.
38:47
I I one of them left my one of one that was over a couple few months ago, left my house.
38:53
Somebody I knew for like 25 years.
38:55
Uh she left my house crying, crying.
38:57
Uh oh dear, yeah, because I I wasn't putting up with their shit anymore.
39:01
And uh I had enough.
39:03
And uh, and I do she don't do that stuff at home.
39:06
I usually try to, you know, keep keep keep things nice.
39:09
But when you when you step on things, I say you don't have enough of this.
39:11
Just shut up.
39:12
Uh take your stuff and get the hell out of here, man.
39:15
So, anyways, uh yeah, enough was enough.
39:17
Anyways, all right.
39:18
So listen, get bear with me just quick fast quick moment here.
39:21
I want to tell folks with Christian uh B as in boy mc ham.com, bmc ham.com, right, Christian?

And uh he brings he brings the firepower, he brings he brings it, and uh those those shows go to podcasts the next day.
40:07
They play on iHeart Radio and play on the network.
40:10
You can catch him uh live, one p.m.
40:12
Eastern time that day, but then podcast after that, and all we go on hundreds of podcast networks.
40:18
Okay, so that's how you do that.
40:19
And again, uh just real briefly want to remind you two friends out there, don't forget to visit the shop.
40:24
Um fuel your body because it fuels the network and the work we're doing, and uh, which is pretty cool.
40:30
But uh I love the stuff we have in there, uh, which is uh gonna be uh America Outloud.shop and uh was one of the most genius things we did some years ago with these strategic partnerships uh nationally, and you get the best prices in the use of the code out loud, gets you the best possible price.
40:47
Those prices you cannot get anywhere else.
40:49
I know that because we negotiated contractually with those companies to have the best deal we can have, and so but yeah, again, you got to take care of yourself.
40:56
I tell you all the time, my wife and I do that with our health, our bodies and our immune system.
41:01
Uh, you have to you have to do it.
41:02
Yeah, not I tell D all the time, tell my wife the time, nothing's more important than our health, honey.
41:07
We got it we're we feel good.
41:08
You know, we're at a beautiful time of our lives.
41:10
We've been married a lot of years, we have a great life.
41:12
Uh, but I said, you know, we gotta a biggest thing, we gotta, we gotta stay uh focused on our health.
41:17
Have to.
41:18
I walk five miles a day, as you all know, five five miles a day.
41:21
Uh, and uh, I'm at today, by the way, Christian.
41:24
I'm at uh today, uh 382 days.
41:28
300, and I don't know if you can see it there in the camera or not.
41:31
Yeah, sure can.
41:32
That's wonderful.
41:32
382 days.
41:33
That's the streak, five miles or more.
41:35
Uh five miles or more.
41:37
Yeah, yep, yep.
41:38
And so I'm doing that and uh kicking ass, taking names, all of that stuff.
41:42
But anyways, it's good stuff.
41:43
So that's the quick uh message there.
41:46
Uh, Christian, I want to talk about um let's let's move, let's get in the high speed lane a little bit here.
41:52
Uh, quantum style, if you will, quantum style.
41:56
Um I want to go with those three biggest spheres in a moment here, but real fast here.
42:00
Real fast here.
42:01
Um you're looking forward to this China trip.
42:01
Um you're looking forward to this China trip.
42:04
It's gonna be exciting to see what happens on the world stage.
42:04
It's going to be exciting to see what happens on the world stage.
42:06
You're you're kind of juiced about it, I think.
42:06
You're you're kind of juiced about it, I think.
42:08
I think so.
42:08
I think so.
42:09
I think it's gonna be uh one of those trips where Xi Xi Ping will realize that there's really nothing left under the skirt for them to try to hide and conceal from Trump.
42:09
I think it's going to be uh one of those trips where Xi Xi Ping will realize that there's really nothing left under the skirt for them to try to hide and conceal from Trump.
42:18
There's that, yes.
42:18
There's that.
42:19
Yes, I like what you say there.
42:20
I like what you say there, and there's also Kirsten the fact strategically answer me on this now, but I think it's also very strategic in nature that Trump.
42:21
And there's also Kirsten, the fact strategically answer me on this now.
42:25
But I think it's also very strategic in nature that Trump just did what he did in the Middle East, which no president would have done.
42:34
No president, Republican, Democrat, and doesn't matter.
42:37
It would have done that.
42:38
Nobody in 47 years has come close to even anything close to that.
42:42
That strategically is uh planted just before the trip.
42:45
That's interesting, isn't it?
42:48
Well, yeah, he did that to cut off some of the oil flow to China to slow down their economy or to increase their cost of what everything is based on oil.
42:58
We know this to be true.
42:59
So between Venezuela and Iran, there were three parts.
43:02
There was a chokehold on oil uh being sold under market to China.
43:06
There was also an increasing in export oil drilling here to create energy dominance and energy independence beyond anything that could people imagine.
43:15
Our exports of oil and LNG is now going to set records this year.
43:19
And the third thing was we could probably add one to two million jobs coming into 27 just from the energy sector, because I don't think oil is going to get below 80 dollars a barrel ever again.
43:29
Not for some, not for years.
43:31
Is that right?
43:32
Is that right?
43:32
Even with even with the energy we have and all of that, they don't want it to be too too low, right?
43:37
Right.
43:37
You've said that.
43:38
No, I think the Middle East proves that that that is a scary place there, and that more people will buy from the United States because the flow of that energy has to be three things consistent, prioritize, and price conscious, which means you gotta have consistency in all three.
43:53
I need to know the oil's coming.
43:55
I need to all know the oil is coming on the set date.
43:57
I need to have pricing in oil that wouldn't be so like look, 50%.
44:03
That's gonna shock some people in the economy, especially Japan.
44:06
Yeah.
44:06
You see, economically, you see, with all this happening now with the trip in China and the midterms and all this going on right now.
44:12
Uh again, the deal that will happen in Iran, whatever that looks like, and then things begin to steady off with the economy.
44:19
Uh, by the end of the year, or even by November, I should say, uh, Trump is going to be out pushing the cut uh the economy.
44:26
He's got to get back to domestic politics.
44:28
He's got to get back to the economy here.
44:30
He's got to stay off of the foreign policy.
44:32
You got to leave Cuba, Greenland, and Canada the hell alone right now, and you got to focus on America right now, these cities and and pull some of the Republican uh uh group and the MAGA and the America first.
44:43
Got to get these people all back on the same sheet of music because right now they're not.
44:46
Uh, do you see us uh at 30,000 feet?
44:48
Do you see us uh do you feel have any sense of optimism or not economically coming into November, please?
44:54
What do you see?
44:56
Oh, I think we're gonna do fine.
44:57
I think November we're gonna have a strong GDP, probably two plus two 2.0 or plus.
45:03
Fourth quarter is gonna be good.
45:04
Uh, we won't have fourth quarter numbers, obviously, till after the election, but third quarter is gonna be great.
45:09
Second quarter, you know, we're we're gonna do okay, but man, third quarter is gonna be good, fourth quarter is big.
45:15
But let me tell you where the real surge is gonna be.
45:17
Next year, I think we're gonna have a fairly significant increase.
45:20
I think the AI build out, I do believe that we're gonna see a lot of increasing in wages.
45:25
Delta just increase the wages for the second time in a year by four percent.
45:29
I see that continue to outpace inflation, and that's gonna from the federal to the state to the local communities.
45:37
You know, it's we're we're we're already winning.
45:39
The problem is is that we were distracted by a bunch of crazies over in the Middle East that thought that they were gonna pair their ability to tell the U.S.
45:47
where to put it, and it actually didn't work out too well for them.
45:50
I think Donald Trump, the president, but also the man basically said, No, this is how it's gonna work.
45:56
You either take it or you don't.
45:58
That also strategically, as I say, comes at a very good time with China right now because he sees that Trump will go there, and that's important.
46:07
As you say, they they they respect warriors and people of magnitude of that.
46:12
Milk, they they they respect crazy just as much.
46:15
Yeah, no, I hear you.
46:16
I hear you.
46:17
And I don't discount any of that.
46:19
And uh and Trump certainly has uh a presence of that on the global stage.
46:23
Uh yeah, he play he played, he plays to win at all costs.
46:27
He plays to win.
46:28
There's no doubt about it.
46:29
What do they say?
46:29
What's the who's the most dangerous man in the world?
46:32
The one that's got nothing to lose.
46:33
He had nothing to lose.
46:34
Amen.
46:34
Amen.
46:35
Yeah, nothing.
46:35
They were gonna make this enrich uranium for weapons grade anyway, but he's like, No, you're not.
46:40
I'm gonna because I got nothing to lose if I don't.
46:43
So I have that same kind of sense or feeling.
46:45
I in full disclosure with you.
46:47
I I I actually have that same sense economically coming into the year.
46:52
I also believe, Kristen, a lot of people are gonna be surprised.
46:56
Trump's gonna, I think he's gonna turn it on big time uh for the power before the midterm.
47:01
He knows the states right now, he knows what's going on, he knows.
47:05
I think he's gonna pull right out of that.
47:06
You're gonna hear a giant sucking sound coming out of the Middle East there, and the energy has got to come back home here.
47:12
And uh, if my cards are right, he's gonna play this to win come November.
47:17
He's gonna be out on so many rallies, he's gonna be talking economics, affordability, he's gonna jam us so far up their backside, the far side, uh, that uh uh that's what we're gonna be talking about.
47:27
But I think economically, he's got you've got the new Fed Reserve coming in.
47:30
You got other things happening here.
47:32
I think things have a chance uh to really come back to some level here where people can say, okay, maybe the American dream isn't dead.
47:40
Is that correct?
47:42
American dream has never been more alive and and robust, and opportunities have never been more present, more present.
47:49
Love it.
47:49
You have said, I mean, look, and it's been 50 years since plumbers, electricians, craftsmen, cement layers, sheetrockers, roofers have ever made 200 to 300,000 a year in equivalent.
48:04
When was the last time a guy can go and drive a truck for Walmart and start salaries 130,000 a year?
48:12
Think about that.
48:13
We are now seeing the dynamic shift, and the blue-collar worker is becoming the white collar earner.
48:18
Blue collar I love it.
48:19
I love it, I love it, I love it.
48:21
And Trump is the blue-collar president, so that's okay.
48:23
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
48:24
He knows because who built buildings?
48:27
Who builds buildings in New York?
48:28
That's it.
48:29
Union guys, what are the union guys employ?
48:32
Cement, glass, some uh uh electricians, plumbers.
48:36
You know, look at what Trump's been around his whole life.
48:39
He's been around blue-collar workers.
48:42
Yeah, oh yeah.
48:42
Oh no, no, that's him.
48:43
That's why his language, his body language, his uh vocabulary, it's exactly that way.
48:48
He's one of the boys.
48:49
He's not a phony, he's not a phony.
48:51
No, uh, any more than I am not a phony.
48:53
And so, you know, you're gonna piss some people off along the line here, is what happens, Kristen, when you're real.
48:58
When you're real, you're gonna break an egg.
48:59
It happens.
49:00
Happens.
49:00
Don't worry about it.
49:00
Don't worry about it.
49:01
Sometimes I break a few, but it's okay.
49:01
Sometimes I break a few, but it's okay.
49:03
It's I've gotten better at us.
49:03
I've gotten better at us.
49:04
I've gotten older, Kristen.
49:04
I've gotten older, Kristen.
49:05
I've gotten more more mature, they say, more mature.
49:05
I've gotten more mature, they say, more mature.
49:08
Uh so all right.
49:10
So all right.
49:11
Um, there's uh we're not gonna get to where we wanted to get to exactly today.
49:11
Um there's a we're not going to get to where we wanted to get to exactly today.
49:15
Uh well, we got to a lot more than I anticipated.
49:15
Uh well, we got to a lot more than I anticipated.
49:17
This was fantastic, I should say.
49:17
This was fantastic, I should say.
49:19
First of all, uh, but uh there's a lot more where this came from, I guess is what I'm really saying, Kristen.
49:19
First of all, uh, but uh there's a lot more where this came from, I guess is what I'm really saying, Kristen.
49:25
True.
49:25
True.
49:25
Uh the China trip, we got to really keep a close eye on and report.
49:25
Uh the China trip, we got to really keep a close eye on and report on that.
49:30
I want to keep you close by, both on this program on Project Out Loud, but also on Viewpoint with some things that are happening strategically.
49:37
Uh as we watch that.
49:39
Let's let's kind of do some uh uh some volleyball back and forth here and uh see what we can figure out together, okay, about this uh uh China business.
49:48
I think it's very fascinating.
49:49
I think you're right over target for uh what is happening.
49:53
And uh it makes it interesting though.
49:56
It really does with Trump and what we're going through right now and what I feel good actually.
50:01
Uh this actually that you know, there's a lot of things here.
50:04
We said today they say, oh my god, you're very pessimistic, what have you, but actually it is very positive, the things that we're talking about.
50:10
Very positive things, yeah.
50:13
Yeah, it's very positive.
50:14
Think about this.
50:14
China's gonna realize for the first time in well, since certainly since Nixon that we have a president who puts America first.
50:23
There's been no president since JFK that had the realization that if he puts America first, that is more rewarding than the self-interest dealing that all the past presidents did.
50:36
They all did, every single one of them.
50:38
There's there's plenty of evidence that we that we've seen in in congressional members, you know, elected members, because obviously it happens, as well as appointed members.
50:48
But when it comes to a sitting president, nobody besides JFK, John Kennedy, put America first, America's interests first, intelligence levels first, then President Donald J.
51:01
Trump.
51:01
I like what you say there.
51:03
Safe to say right now, as a lead into the China trip and everything that's going on.
51:08
We I mean, do we agree?
51:11
We've got to learn in some aspect.
51:15
We've got to play well with China.
51:17
China's got to play well with us.
51:18
We're not gonna, they're not gonna defeat us, we're not gonna defeat them.
51:22
Is that is that fair?
51:23
It's a symbi symbiotic relationship that we cannot get out from under because they're still buying products from us.
51:31
We're still using their manufacturing.
51:33
What we're trying to do, though, is to level the playing field in such a way that they're not taking 500 billion dollars a year in excess capital out of our economy for the widgets we buy from them.
51:43
They're not buying enough of ours, they're not playing fair with their tariffs and or their partnership agreements.
51:49
Because right now, you know, you do you do manufacturing over there.
51:52
You got to give up your trade secrets.
51:54
You don't play our 100%.
51:56
Apple Apple had to do all that.
51:57
They had to give it all.
51:58
I know.
51:59
And I'm like, but you already said the trade deficits are one of the biggest accomplishments.
52:03
This president has been all over.
52:04
And nobody was willing to touch that at all in past time.
52:09
We know the truth.
52:10
We know what's right.
52:10
We know the truth, but you know, even Congress was giving him a lot of grief on that, and the courts did, and so on and so forth.
52:15
And he realized uh the level of how important that was.
52:18
You know, he is uh just an interesting character to the point of what you've said many times to me.
52:23
When you think about the level of what he has taken out of the world, and it really isn't so much.
52:28
I mean, you know, he he puts it out there, he's got an ego, obviously.
52:32
Uh, but he does it in a way that um, you know, he the where the stakes are that high, and he's not afraid to break a whole lot of eggs, actually.
52:42
He he's not he's not afraid at all to do it.
52:45
He he's been studying the game here, I guess, for so long, Kristen, that that uh the game, the game of life I'm talking about here has been studying the game of politics for sure, and global politics.
52:58
Decades.
52:58
We heard him all those earlier speeches and videos and everything else.
53:02
That is like, and then when they did what they did in the first term to him, and they tried to screw him over 10 ways to Sunday here.
53:08
He came back totally lit, thought everything through, had a totally different cabinet, different mindset, different everything.
53:14
It's a whole new world, isn't it?
53:16
He was an educated man, Milcom, an educated man on Washington, DC.
53:21
He thought he knew he didn't know.
53:23
Now he does.
53:24
And now he knows it works.
53:26
Well, it it brings uh it brings me back to the time in the first administration, Christian.
53:29
You remember when he went out, he didn't know anything about Washington.
53:32
He walked out on the balcony uh in the Capitol, and Paul Ryan was with him, that little pimple, Paul Ryan.
53:38
Yeah, and Paul Ryan Munster.
53:40
I and I remember, yeah, yeah.
53:43
Right, right.
53:44
I remember his uh his visual, Kristen, when he went like this point to where something was on the beltway there, you know.
53:51
Like Trump didn't know, and he said, Yeah, yeah, such over here.
53:54
And he's out on the balcony that way.
53:55
And I thought to myself, I said, Oh my golly, isn't that a picture for the times with Paul Ryan, you know, the uh uh the um speaker of the house?
54:03
Paul Ryan hates Trump.
54:05
Oh, he hated him then and he hates them now.
54:08
He hates him.
54:09
Yeah, yeah, he's he's he's just he's uh he's a weirdo.
54:12
He's it don't make any sense.
54:14
Uh yeah, uh these guys here.
54:15
This was good.
54:16
This was fun.
54:17
Thank you for uh doing this.
54:18
This was just marvelous.
54:20
This is like going into a sauna and just having a complete like a sauna, like, oh, I got all that off, man.
54:29
I feel pretty good now.
54:30
Let's get on with the day here.
54:31
But uh there's a lot to learn from this, actually, friends.
54:34
A lot to learn from Kristen as well.
54:36
But when you piece it all together, it kind of makes a lot of sense.
54:39
It makes a whole lot of sense now with Biden and why he did all those things, what he did.
54:43
He he he was the ultimate China's bitch, as they say.
54:46
We we said he was gonna sell out.
54:48
We said that before they ever put him in there, and he did.
54:51
He did.
54:51
So anyway, we'll talk some more on all of that ahead here.
54:55
Um, all right, friends.
54:56
Uh yeah, Kristen Briggs.
54:58
Uh catch your show as well on the record with Kristen Briggs and the wonderful stuff.
55:01
It's so good to uh uh to to work with him.
55:04
Uh and uh it's good conversations, good stuff here.
55:07
Thank you for joining us here, friends, on the mission.
55:09
Hey, see us back, Project Out Loud.
55:11
Take a look at some of the stuff we're doing back there, and also help us share all the content, all the great stuff on America Rot Loud.news.
55:17
It takes a group effort to make this thing happen here.
55:20
Uh again, thanks a lot.
55:22
Uh remember, it's time to get involved and get loud.
