Latest / INSIGHT TODAY / Watters Don’t mistake Trump’s graciousness for weakness
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Xi's back.
- 0:03Speaker 2: Not Xi, Xi, the president of China, the Chinese communist
- 0:06Speaker 2: leader landing on American soil just moments ago, where Trump
- 0:09Speaker 2: greeted him on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews. First
- 0:12Speaker 2: time a president's done that for a foreign leader since
- 0:15Speaker 2: Obama did it for the pope. Obama actually hosted Xi
- 0:19Speaker 2: 10 years ago. Had all the pomp and circumstance, 21-gun salute,
- 0:23Speaker 2: red carpet, except Barack didn't buzz him with B-2s. Trump
- 0:28Speaker 2: just did, and we heard it was pretty loud. The
- 0:31Speaker 2: First Lady spent all week putting the final touches on
- 0:35Speaker 2: the visit.
- 0:36Speaker 3: They have a great relationship and he's coming on our
- 0:40Speaker 3: soil and we need to welcome them with the most respect.
- 0:46Speaker 3: There is a lot of details that comes in to
- 0:49Speaker 3: plan the state dinner. There is a protocol that you
- 0:53Speaker 3: need to follow. Every detail, I was involved from tomorrow,
- 0:59Speaker 3: arrival ceremony on the South Lawn.
- 1:03Speaker 2: Trump was just in Beijing, where the Chinese treated him
- 1:06Speaker 2: like a king. Military bands, flowers, hundreds of smiling Chinese children.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Xi even gave him a tour of his secret imperial garden.
- 1:15Speaker 2: The Chinese leader took Trump to the temple of heaven.
- 1:19Speaker 2: You know where he took Obama?
- 1:20Speaker 1: To the emperor's dungeon, where they used to torture prisoners.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Trump showing a little reciprocity and being a gracious host.
- 1:29Speaker 2: But don't mistake his graciousness for weakness.
- 1:32Speaker 1: The Democrats, they don't get it.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Well, today, as Trump wines and dines President Xi at
- 1:38Speaker 3: the White House, he has a choice to make.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Once again, bend the knee to the CCP. or to
- 1:44Speaker 1: stand up to Xi. The president should not be fetting
- 1:49Speaker 1: and praising Xi.
- 1:51Speaker 3: He should be telling him, knock it off.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Should Trump have acted like Barry and let the Chinese
- 1:56Speaker 2: steal our jobs in factories, take over Latin America? Or
- 2:01Speaker 2: should he have acted like Biden and just let the
- 2:03Speaker 2: Chinese bribe his son with diamonds and rubber stamp their
- 2:07Speaker 2: Belt and Road Initiative? No one has been tougher on
- 2:10Speaker 2: China than Trump. He launched a trade war. He called
- 2:13Speaker 2: them out for the China virus, knocked off their proxies,
- 2:17Speaker 2: Maduro and the gay Ayatollah, kicked them out of the
- 2:19Speaker 2: Panama Canal, now boxed them out of the Arctic.
- 2:23Speaker 1: And now we're beating them in the AI and space race.
- 2:27Speaker 2: He's not putting Xi up at Mar-a-Lago and feeding him
- 2:29Speaker 2: Peking duck and sending him home with a full stomach.
- 2:33Speaker 2: Reagan had Gorby over at his ranch at the height
- 2:36Speaker 2: of the Cold War.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Look at those two. Rubio is saying, do you hear yourself, Dick?
- 2:42Speaker 4: The United States and China are the two largest economies
- 2:45Speaker 4: in the world. The United States and China are probably
- 2:48Speaker 4: the two most powerful militaries in the world. The relationship
- 2:51Speaker 4: between the United States and China will define the 21st century,
- 2:54Speaker 4: what happens in that relationship. The idea that we would
- 2:57Speaker 4: not interact with them at the highest levels is irresponsible.
- 3:01Speaker 1: It's outrageous.
- 3:02Speaker 5: We have to.
- 3:02Speaker 4: That doesn't mean we don't have strong disagreements. Of course
- 3:04Speaker 4: we do.
- 3:05Speaker 2: American presidents last four to eight years. Xi Jinping, he's
- 3:09Speaker 2: going to be in power until he dies. Everything that
- 3:12Speaker 2: goes down in China comes from the top down. He
- 3:15Speaker 2: makes every decision, big and small. Getting along with him
- 3:19Speaker 2: is the only way to get things done for the
- 3:21Speaker 2: American people. And Trump gets along with everybody— Putin.
- 3:26Speaker 1: Bill Maher, Kanye.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Trump's a people person, but behind the pageantry, there's a
- 3:32Speaker 2: respect between the two men and also fierce competition. The Chinese,
- 3:37Speaker 2: they've been acting a little sleazy.
- 3:40Speaker 6: President Trump's top ask is going to be that the
- 3:43Speaker 6: Chinese stop providing intelligence to the Iranians that they are
- 3:48Speaker 6: using to target American interests.
- 3:51Speaker 1: China is Iran's biggest customer.
- 3:53Speaker 2: They should use their influence if they don't want to
- 3:55Speaker 2: pay 100 bucks a barrel. And while she's in D.C.,
- 3:59Speaker 2: the president of Iran, the straight one, is in New
- 4:01Speaker 2: York delivering a speech to the U.N.
- 4:04Speaker 1: And tried to sound like John Wayne.
- 4:07Speaker 7: He must know that the resistance of the Iranian people
- 4:10Speaker 7: will only increase in the face of sanctions, increased pressure,
- 4:14Speaker 7: increased bullying. We will never bow our head or bend
- 4:20Speaker 7: the knee.
- 4:21Speaker 1: What a whiner. Rubio hit him right between the eyes.
- 4:25Speaker 4: I think slaughtering 10,000 of your own people in protests
- 4:28Speaker 4: is a violation of the U.N. I hope it's a
- 4:31Speaker 4: violation of the U.N. principles. I think sponsoring terrorist organizations
- 4:35Speaker 4: in the region to attack your neighbors, attack Energy infrastructure,
- 4:38Speaker 4: attack civilian sites is a violation of the UN system.
- 4:42Speaker 4: So I don't know what standing Iran has to lecture
- 4:44Speaker 4: anyone on human rights or the international system when they
- 4:47Speaker 4: habitually violate it.
- 4:49Speaker 2: China needs the war to end almost as much as
- 4:51Speaker 2: Iran does because their economy is growing at its slowest
- 4:55Speaker 2: rate since 1991. And their consumers aren't buying. Their population
- 5:00Speaker 2: is dying. And they don't produce any energy themselves, really.
- 5:03Speaker 2: So the feeling in Beijing, frustration. The Chinese are desperately
- 5:08Speaker 2: trying to extend the trade truce for as long as possible.
- 5:11Speaker 2: And Trump just said, we'll give you two more months.
- 5:15Speaker 2: But on January 10th, if the Chinese don't open up
- 5:18Speaker 2: their market more, buy more American agriculture and more Boeings,
- 5:22Speaker 2: that wouldn't hurt.
- 5:23Speaker 1: Trump will be ready for round two. What else do
- 5:27Speaker 1: the Chinese want?
- 5:28Speaker 2: Our chips, but we won't sell them the good ones.
- 5:31Speaker 2: They're holding back on minerals, but we're just going to
- 5:33Speaker 2: go elsewhere. The Chinese can't get the good chips anywhere
- 5:38Speaker 2: else but here, so we have that leverage. The Chinese
- 5:42Speaker 2: can't build stuff themselves, so they're stealing a lot of it.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Winning the AI arms race is China's Hail Mary, so
- 5:48Speaker 2: they're cutting corners and getting a little sneaky. We just
- 5:51Speaker 2: found Chinese models with American watermarks.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Beijing's even admitted they're down big.
- 5:59Speaker 5: The U.S.
- 6:00Speaker 6: Remains in the lead, and that was a very good
- 6:03Speaker 6: acknowledgement that I got from my Chinese counterpart.
- 6:06Speaker 7: They agreed that we are in the lead.
- 6:08Speaker 2: The Bernie bros are demanding Donald Trump surrender to China.
- 6:12Speaker 2: Just stop making any progress on a computer. Basically, put
- 6:16Speaker 2: all of our computers on sleep mode.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Just take a nap.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Since Schumer and Hakim don't even know what AI is,
- 6:24Speaker 2: the Valley's top nerd asked the U.N.
- 6:26Speaker 1: Security Council to control his industry.
- 6:29Speaker 4: If managed poorly, I even believe that AI could be
- 6:33Speaker 4: a risk to humanity as a whole.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I believe that this is.
- 6:35Speaker 4: The most important global security issue facing the world today.
- 6:40Speaker 2: That guy doesn't trust the Pentagon, but trusts the U.N.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Security Council. Get him out of here.
- 6:47Speaker 2: The Chinese aren't going for a ceasefire. They're in it
- 6:50Speaker 2: to win it.
- 6:51Speaker 1: So are we.
- 6:52Speaker 2: We won the arms race against the Soviet Union by
- 6:54Speaker 2: outspending them. It bankrupted their country and communism died. And
- 6:59Speaker 2: then it came back to life 40 years later in
- 7:01Speaker 2: the name of AOC.
- 7:03Speaker 1: This AI thing, it's early. The best thing we can
- 7:06Speaker 1: do is communicate.
- 7:07Speaker 2: Sources say the United States and China are set to
- 7:10Speaker 2: announce an AI hotline, a direct line between both countries,
- 7:15Speaker 2: like what we had in the Cold War.
- 7:16Speaker 1: So there aren't any misunderstandings.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Besant says America and China are like two guys playing
- 7:22Speaker 2: water polo. They're passing each other the ball, but underneath
- 7:26Speaker 2: the water, they're kicking each other in the shins violently.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Trump's going to kick a little harder. Big money's betting
- 7:33Speaker 1: on it.
- 7:34Speaker 5: There will be an improvement in trade between China and
- 7:37Speaker 5: the U.S. following President Xi's visit to the United States.
- 7:40Speaker 5: I think it's good that President Trump visited China earlier
- 7:44Speaker 5: this year. I was on that trip, obviously. I actually
- 7:46Speaker 5: went on Air Force One, which was cool. I think
- 7:49Speaker 5: these are good actions to take, and I think will
- 7:52Speaker 5: lead to increased prosperity for both countries.
