Alter virtually any form of communication between private citizens or large public audiences. Theres no precedent in American History for so small a number of corporations to control so large a sphere of human interaction. And that includes individual people controlling vast amounts of territory, and we cant allow that to happen. Lou there has never been a more powerful and successful user of social media than president donald trump, and it is no small irony that he has been forced by twitter to take on social medias extraordinary power to constrain, to intervene in even the actions and words of a chief executive of this country. Well have more on the president s exestive order in just a few executive order in just a few moments, inyod by fcc commissioner brendan carr as we take the up the issue of freedom of speech and particularly the president s freedom of speech. President trump just moments ago also weighing in on the unrest in minneapolis, the unrest, the rioting as city leaders today making emotional pleas for peace in the streets as the city is bracing for a Third Straight night of protests, demonstrations and, yes, violation. The citys mayor went so far as to ask Governor Tim Walz to deploy the National Guard after those protests became violent last night. Buildings set on fire, demonstrators ransacking businesses, a fullon riot and looting. The unrest in the city sparked by the videotaped killing of george floyd, an africanamerican man who was killed monday by a white Police Officer who kneeled on his neck for several minutes, and he died. Allegedly, he used a fake 20 bill at the grocery store, and the police were trying to apprehend him. Four officers involved in floyds arrest have been fired. None of them been arrested or charged with his death. President trump has asked the fbi and the Justice Department to speed up their investigation into floyds death, and he says justice will be served. For the latest developments, we turn now to fox news Senior Correspondent mike tobin in minneapolis. Mike. Reporter hello, lou. Behind me you can see a lot of the aftermath of this violent night in minneapolis, this is the area around the 3rd police precinct, that was the precinct from which the officers were dispatched involved in this incident. Youre looking at the aftermath of the autozone store. We watchedded as it was torched last night. Witnesses say the demonstrators put in a box of fireworks, then set that off. All sorts of flammable things inside, and as people tried to put it out, protesters pelted them with bottles and other things to dissuade them. What youre looking at right now is the 3rd precinct itself, and this standoff, if you will, has been mounting now for hours and growing in numbers. What you see is a crowd of protesters out on lake and minnehaha in the intersection there, and their numbers are growing. A little harder to see is the row of Police Officers in their riot gear at the ready. What theyre doing is preventing the demonstrators from getting up into the 3rd precinct. And thats where they draw the line, and thats where the conflict is, thats where it all went down last night. The numbers are growing. You mentioned that police are bracing for another night of demonstrations which, as you see, you have seen them turn pretty destructive, ultimately, and tonight seems to be no exception. Lou . Lou mike, the violence that we witnessed, weve even heard some news organizations being cautioned by their editorial management not to use the word rioting. Those were people rioting on the video that i saw. They were people who were looting and committing around soften. Arson. Are they prepared for a repeat of that, and will they as they did last night, they, the Law Enforcement officers will they be withdrawing and simply allowing the rioting to continue without constraint . Reporter well, the police have not tipped their hand as far as what they want to do, but it seems pretty clear that they dont want to repeat the mistakes that we saw in ferguson with Police Coming out with a heavy hand trying to beat down the crowd and getting very much the opposite reaction of what they saw. Because what you have here, by and large what weve heard from the demonstrators on the street is they want justice, justice isnt coming fast enough, and they dont trust the people in charge. But the overall theme is simply that they are angry. Theyre frustrated with the system, and what we see is that theyre lashing out. That being said, when you hear these terms like a mostly peaceful riot, well, john gotti was mostly peaceful. Its a bit of an oxymoron. If it was violent at all, it was violet. If there was destruction at all, there was destruction. And thats what we saw out here. But also when with you see the police come out, you always see a pushback. I think the police have drawn the line, in fact, the police chief has made it clear there are certain lines theyre not going to allow people to cross. Theyre not going to allow them to get at the vehicles because theres weaponry inside vehicles, theyre not going to allow them to get inside the 3rd precinct. But beyond that you dont really see a Police Presence out here on the street because where theres Police Presence, you get friction. Lou . Lou mike, thank you very much. Its extraordinary, and there are no charges at this point. It is a difficult and troubled time, obviously, in minneapolis. Thank you very much, mike tobin, as always doing his usual great job of reporting. Protests over George Floyds death, his killing taking place in Southern California as well. Led by black lives matter activists. Several hundred demonstrators blocked the 101 freeway. They vandalized california Highway Patrol vehicles. The protests then moved downtown. An American Flag there was set e on fire. Well, the top story tonight, President Trumps executive order that has just been issued on social media. The president s order empowers the fcc to review section 230 as its called of the 1996 Communications Decency act that gives social media platforms protection, allowing them to post content on their forums as they see fit. This order also will forward complaints of bias filed by the white house over to ftc, and the order will pull taxpayer dollars from social media platforms that engage in censorship. Well, joining us now to assess this in its early moments, the order having just been sign by the president , brendan carr, commissioner of the fcc. He previously served as the fccs general counsel. Brendan, let me start with this order. Your reaction to the president s understandable frustration and his response in the form of this executive order. Thanks, lou. This is really welcome news. Look, since the 2016 election, the far left has hopped from hoax to hoax to hoax to explain how it lost to President Trump at the ballot box. One thing theyve done is look to social media platforms. Theyve put pressure on them for the crime, in their view, or staying neutral in the of staying neutral in the 2016 election, and theyre committed to not letting them stay neutral in the runup to 2020. This step by President Trump shines a light on some of that activity and tee it is up some steps that can be taken. Lou well, you used the word neutral with quotes of facetiousness around it because those social media platform it is are anything but neutral as we know. Google, for example, in its platforms decidedly [laughter] making a choice in the election to be about as antitrump as one could imagine. And this nonsense coming from jack dorsey, the founder and ceo of twitter, to say that some of the comments that have been made saying his approach does not make twitter an arbiter of truth, zuckerberg saying he doesnt want his platform to pretend to be such, accusing twitter, effect ily, of doing so. Effectively, of doing so. Its ridiculous some of the comments from the twitter folks trying to explain their idiotic attempts to limit the free speech of the president of the United States. It cant be, it cannot be condoned rationally, can it . Look, twitter made the decision to take on the president of the United States in a partisan political debate. It did so in really a disingenuous way, it got its facts wrong. It tried to challenge the president s assertion that when you have massive mailin ballots, theres going to naturally be voter fraud. Jerry nadler made that exact same point. Facebook stood up this new Oversight Board, and they stacked it with really people that are emotionally, viscerally against the president. Pam carlin is on that board, famous for testifying in favor of impeachment of the president and had that infamous barron trump lie. If you were to hand pick a group to tilt an election against the incumbent president , i dont think it would look much different than the Oversight Board that facebook has put together. So i think this executive order is welcome news including calling in the federal trade commission. Look, if youre any other type of business and you represent that youre a neutral platform then you engage in some of the conduct were seeing, youd be held liable for unfair Business Practices at that point. Lou well, the president served notice, more than sufficient notice, that he was not going to be trifled with by big tech, pencilnecked geeks in the form of one particularly jack dorsey who has tried to become his nemesis in Silicon Valley and as of yesterday had succeeded. I dont think he probably hikes the position he know likes the position he now finds himself in. Your thoughts about how this will unwind, how it will move from here. Heres whats really important about the president s executive order, everybody has free speech First Amendment rights. Whats different about these platforms that congress in the 190s afforded them a very special and unique legal liability and protection that all other political actors dont enjoy. And that maybe made sense when you had the prodigy messaging board that was in congress mind. But Flash Forward 20 years. These are now the largest, most powerful corporations when it comes to speech. So i think its entirely appropriate for the president to say isnt it time to take another look at section 230 and whether that makes sense given where we are today. Lou and it clearly does not make sense given the awesome power of these social media platforms and these big tech corporations. I assume that well see that redress. There will be countervailing influences at work over the next months. We appreciate it, brendan carr, fcc commissioner. Thanks so much. Breaking news now, 38 rinos in the house of representatives today apparently would prefer President Trump not be elected. They sent him a letter urging him not to restrict temporary work visas. The group is led by maryland congressman andy harris. It also includes congressman lee zeldin, chris stewart, peter king, of course. They join nine rino senators who sent a similar letter to the president yesterday. Their letter coming the same day we learned of another 2. 1 million americans filing for unemployment benefits. The total number now 41 million americans since mid march applying for unemployment benefits. These are not only economically ignorant people, but they are, in point of fact, knownothings about economics. When the Unemployment Rate is near at least 15 , 40 million americans out of work, for these rinos in the senate and the house to have the temerity to tell the president to abandon all hope of reelection and bring in more Foreign Workers in the face of 40 million unemployed americans is absolutely obscene. I would invite every one of their constituents to reject them at the polls. They are ignorant, they are indifferent to the National Security and, yes, the fate of 40 million unemployed americans. This is outrageous. Up next, communist china moving to end hong kongs independence, its freedoms. How will President Trump respond . We take up that very question right after this break. Former state Department Senior adviser Christian Whiton with us. Stay with us, weeee vo our communities need help like never before and wells fargo employees are assisting millions of customers across america through fee waivers and payment deferrals, helping people stay in their homes through mortgage Payment Relief efforts and donating 175 Million Dollars to help hundreds of local organizations provide food and other critical needs. When you need us, wells fargo is here to help. Which is why when it comes to his dentures only new poligrip cushion and comfort will do. The first and only formula with adaptagrip cushioning technology. Choose new poligrip cushion and comfort. Lou breaking news, the Chinese Communist party has officially voted to impose new legislation on hong kong. It makes it a crime to undermine beijings authority. The effect of that legislation is to remove hong kongs last vestiges of independence and eliminate individual freedoms for hong kong residents. President trump today in the oval office didnt comment on that vote, but he did have harsh words for chinas handling to have wuhan virus of the wuhan virus, and he suggested this will be a major announcement tomorrow. Very sad situation. Should have never happened. China should have stopped it at the source. They didnt do that, and tomorrow were going to be having a press conference on china. So well be making certain decisions, and well be discussing them tomorrow. Lou the white house plans to cancel visas for thousands of chinese graduate students and researchers who are in the United States who are directly affiliated with the Peoples Liberation army. This move part of a new earth effort to curtail the number of Chinese Students who can receive visas to study in this country. Since 2013 china has spent nearly a billion dollars worth of gifts and contracts to u. S. Universities. And during the 20182019 school year, there were more than 369,000 chinese nationals studying in u. S. Universities and colleges. Well, joining us tonight to take up china and the policy future of the relationship between the two countries, Christian Whiton, senior fellow at the center for national interests, former state Department Senior adviser in the trump and george w. Bush administrations. First, christian, good to have you with us. Hong kong is a fait accompli. It is no longer there is no, not even a pretense of independence and individual freedoms are a thing of the past. What will be the impact . The impact, as you point i think the impact that it reinforces that the Chinese Communist party just doesnt keep its agreement. This was part of a solemn agreement with the United Kingdom that was part of a deal to get hong kong back. The brits only had to give back part of the territory, they didnt have to give it all back. They agreed to a high degree of autonomy for 50 years, this is an international agreement, so its just the next one in a long list of agreements the Chinese Government has welched on which, frankly, is something we ought to keep in mind. Theyve certainly broken a number of agreements that we have, but theyre also probably in fact, theyre definitely breaking the phase one trade deal. This is something they signed in january, the ink is barely dry. Its an important reminder Going Forward for anyone who still needs to learn the lesson that you cannot trust the Chinese Government. Lou you cannot and there is im trying to think of one example in which they have honored an agreement, a treaty with a western nation. None comes to mind. And this president is not likely to put up with this kind of conduct on the part of the chinese. Can he change their conduct . No, but he can certainly change ours and the way in which we interact with the chinese. Do you believe that decoupling, ending the commercial relationship between the two nations is at hand . I do. Im not sure if the president is there yet. As you point out, theyre thinking of some strong measures. The one you mentioned about stopping giving all these visas to chinese because the theory used to be, okay, they would come here, they would breathe the sweet air of freedom, they would love america, they would go back to china and spread democracy, that hasnt been the case. That just doesnt work out possibly because our universities which are happy to take all this foreign money, happy to give these spots to chinese rather than to americans, and, you know, they [laughter] they do this, they, you know, basically export all of the knowledge that we give them rather than contributing to the American Economy or not. You know, so i think youll see steps like that, but i dont think the president is quite ready to decouple. I think hell start with the pharmaceutical supply chain, medical protective equipments that were never reliant on china again and and other manufacturing, hightech stuff. Youve seen export controls on Certain Companies lou you know, christian . I think about all the ways in which we are dependent on china, and the frankly, they just obscenely are, obscenely stupid leadership of this country over the course of the previous three president s to put us in a dependent position, the worlds only superpower, is just its criminal. What president s in both Political Parties have done over that time that leaves us vulnerable to communist chinese authoritarianses who right now have a very strong grip on this countrys pharmaceuticals. Were dependent for rare eithers, earths, our production facilities. In large measure because weve given wall street, Corporate America and the chamber of horrors or commerce if you prefer such leverage over the legislation and Public Policy of this country for so long. Yeah. And that, unfortunately, still continues. You are seeing a change on capitol hill where some, not all, but some of congress is following President Trumps lead. You have people in both parties thinking about ways to get tough on china. But the number of institutions you just listed wall street, i mean, you have people still out there spinning the same tale theyve been spinning since 2000 when we made the mistake of letting china into the World Trade Organization saying, oh, we need, we cant isolate china, we cant decouple. All of these things we cant do, all of these myths that have been exposed over the last two decades. That still lives on in hollywood, wall street and in particular academia where, again, theyre happy to educate Chinese Students, and theyre less interested in educating americans which is the reason they have taxexempt status and all this money in the first place. Theres still some work to do but, thankfully, this is the closest thing youll get to on a bipartisan issue in washington. Lou well, itll be interesting to see the president s statements tomorrow on the u. S. china relationship. Christian, we thank you very much. Christian whiton, good to see you. Well have more on the president s reaction to china in this eveningsed broadcast. Well be talking with the hudson institutes Michael Pillsbury here next.

Senator johnson has scheduled a june 4th vote for the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee that he chairs. That is the same day after former Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein appears before the Senate JudiciaryCommittee Led by chair lindsey graham. Well, attorney general bill barr is now tapping texasbased u. S. Attorney john bash. He has been assigned to take a deeper look at the unmasking of former National Security adviser, general michael flynn. Justice Department Spokeswoman discussed the boundslies of that boundaries of that investigation. We know that unmasking inherently isnt wrong but, certainly, the frequency, the motivation and the reasoning behind unmasking can be problematic. And when youre looking at unmasking as part of a broader investigation like john durhams investigation looking specifically at who was unmasking whom can add a a lot to our understanding about motivation and big picture events. Lou joining us now is lee smith, lee is the author of the plot against the president. He joins us to take up what is the everexpanding revelations of the biggest political scandal in our countrys history. Lets start with attorney general barr assigning bash to go after the unmasking. Does this portend good things or bads for those who would or bad for those who would like to see justice done . No, i think its a very good thing, lou. I think what it means is one of the things the unmasking has shown us is this was administrationwide. Weve been looking at the fisa abuse scandal for so long which focuses mostly on the fbi, but what we saw when acting, nowacting director dni Richard Grenell declassified the list, this went across the administration including the white house. What it shows is, is that the Obama Administration promotes a culture of espionage, and thats what the unmasking shows. Thank goodness that the attorney general has appointed someone to focus on this. The scandal a, its not just the investigation. The more information we have, the larger the scandal gets. Lou yeah, lee, i could put up with a culture of espionage at the Justice Department, the fbi. What i cant put up with is a corrupt culture, a political activism and a president who presided over an administration that spied on a president ial candidate, tried to block, tried to block his election and then when he was elected, tried to overthrow him. Thats what i cant put up with. I call that a bunch of damn politically corrupt creeps. Right. Its absolutely disgusting. And what, again, the important thing, i think, is what attorney general barr said about a week and a half ago. He said he believes the investigation is not going to be pointing at president obama and Vice President biden. However, again, the unmasking list shows this was going on inside the white house. The president s chief of staff, dennis mcdonough, also very importantly the guy, the intelligence official who gave obama his president ial Daily Briefing asked for the unmasking. So i 100 agree e and, again, once we see this went to the Treasury Department, obamas ambassador to italy and san moreno was unmasking general flynns name. This is a terrible thing. Lou yeah. He said i received a staff to become treasury secretary, sent over jack lew to run are it, to manage the irs, for crying out loud, amongst other agencies. Theres not much subtlety in what they did or why. Lets turn, if we may, to ron johnson seeking subpoena power. Why in the world doesnt he have it already, why in the world isnt the investigation moving at a breakneck speed . Im not suggesting in any way that im not delighted that senator johnson has had the guts to stand up and go after these issues. Senator johnsons has done a fantastic job. Hes one of the, one of, unfortunately, very few republicans in the senate who has done a good job. Remember that senator johnson was the one who put out the strzokpage text messages. And so that really, that gave a lot of Important Information to the American Public. I assume that they will get subpoena power, and thank goodness that senator john is moving forward johnson is moving forward in the senate to provide more necessary information to the American Public especially while were waiting as mr. Durhams investigation unfolds. Lou lee smith, as always, good to have you with us. Thanks so much. Look forward to seeing you again soon. Up next, a medical establishment in washington refuses to find the truth about the origins of the deadly wuhan virus. They do have a lot of nonsense to spew. And, by the way, arent these guys supposed to believe in science . Michael pillsbury, one of the countrys leading authorities on china, he joins us to take up what happens next with china, what should we do . Well be right back. I was born in 37. It was a very struggling period of time. Up and down. Depression to exuberance. And you could name many, many cycles like that over the years. My generation, having come through so many wars and so many things. Persistence. Its the heartbeat of this country. Stick with it. And the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. Help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. Leave bleeding gums behind. Parodontax. Uh, fifteen minutes lecould save you 15 ain . Nd. Or more on car insurance. I think were gonna swap over to over seventyfive years of savings and service. What, were just gonna swap over . Yep. Pump the breaks on this, swap it over to that. Pump the breaks, and, uh, swap over . Thats right. Instead of all this that ive already . Yeah. What are we gonna do with these . Keep it at your desk, and save it for next time. Geico. Over 75 years of savings and service. Lou the New York Times has issueda correction for a complete and total fabrication. A medical team in a new york City Hospital telling the paper about a 26yearold emergency room doctor who died of the wuhan virus, except thats not true. The doctor didnt die. The paper blamed the medical team, saying it was a case of mistaken identity. How about that . Fake news . Perhaps. Well, breaking news, National Institutes of Health DirectorFrancis Collins says theres no way of knowing if the wuhan virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of virology. By the way, australian researchers were quoted just a week ago saying pointblank that there is every evidence of manmade manipulation of the virus, so that really is quite a curious contradiction, isnt it . So the Wuhan Virology Lab still is the epicenter of the deadly contagion. Joining us now is dr. Michael pillsbury. And dr. Michael pillsbury is the foremost in the minds of most leading experts on china in the country. Hes also the director of the center for chinese strategy at the hudson institute, author of the hundredyear marathon. Mike, great to have you with us. I, i think it is really interesting that we have the nih director, collins, who says has to say that it wasnt a manmade virus with absolutely no science to support it while virologists and researchers in australia says theres every evidence of it being a manmade, manipulated virus. What do you make of this unseemly effort to go beyond science and fact to offer the public conclusions . It looks suspicious to the, to those of us who are skeptic es. Yes. It looks more like politics than science. I think the larger picture, lou, is that a lot of our federal Government Departments almost all of them, including nih and cdc have programs to help china. Theyre deeply embedded with the assistance to China Program that was set up by jimmy carter. That was an awfully long time ago. So nih in particular has very close contact and friendships with the chinese. So they naturally tend to be defensive. As soon as this horrible story about the possible escape from the lab or worse was taking place, a lot of scientists including dr. Fauci, they immediately jumped to the defense of china long before they knew the facts. So todays revelation seems to be we really dont know what happened in wuhan. I wish dr. Fauci had said that back in january, dont you . Lou indeed. He, at that time, was not even ab knowledging that Chinese Communist party was refused doctors and researchers be admitted into wuhan to study the contagion that had been unleashed. I want to turn to hong kong now. Assured a half century of independence and autonomy. That turned out to be a very short century, and the legislation today from beijing, if you can call it legislation, its really an order, removing hong kongs independence and individual freedoms are no more. Your thoughts. I wouldnt go so far as to say their freedoms are no more or that independence was promised. They were promised a high degree of autonomy, their own judicial system, a whole sentence very specific list of measures, list of what was being protected in hong kong until at least 2047. That was agreed to. The british, with our support, filed this as a treaty with the u. N. So what were looking at, lou, if this law is going to be as bad as im afraid its going to be, were looking at a treaty violation by china of a treaty with the british on top of the violence of the inter violation of the International Health organizations treaty back in january. So major treaty violations. And usually international law, lou, that requires sanctions by other countries. Lou well, sanctions are no longer considered particularly effective. Weve had sanctions against russia for years. Theres been very little deterioration in their ability to be expansive and aggressive on the worlds stage. We have had sanctions against iran as they proceed toward becoming a Nuclear Power unchecked. Constrained but unchecked. Its these sanctions are seemingly, to me, the stuff of, well, very cautious, careful people who really dont know what else to do. Im not talking about that kind of sanctions. Im talking about not about pinpricks or slap on the wrists, im talking about going after the sources of chinese power and the misconduct by china. Youll find this laid out in President Trumps book in 2015. He has a section, actually, quite profound even speaking as a china expert myself, i was very impressed. He said theres a bad china, and he listed all the features of the bad china. And then he said theres a good china. Our goal as americans is to move them from bad china to good china, but theyre both in there. So going after the sources of chinese power, thats much bigger than sanctions, lou. That means going after the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist party, it means going after the the Capital Markets lou so youre talking these are far more serious lou so youre talking about, youre talking about soft power, youre talking about going after their communist party, youre talking about going after their leadership, sowing discord and hopefully unrest and the overthrow of their government, all of that . Yes. Its reagans approach to the soviet union in the early 80s that he laid out the kind of soviet union or russia that we want. President trump already foreshadowed that four or five years ago. I think the chinese i get a lot of these comments from the Chinese Media and speaking to chinese by phone, lou. Theyre afraid President Trump is going to do just that go after the sources of their power. This is not some idea that americans in congress necessarily have. This is the chinese fear of what President Trump might do to them. So theyll be watching very carefully tomorrow. He might, lets start with a small step tomorrow, but i think theres more to lou were going to take wait, wait, dr. Pillsbury, wait just a moment. Were going to take a quick break. Well come back with you as we talk about in specifics what are their two top fears and how can we realize, how can we make their nightmares come true. Well be back with Michael Pillsbury e in just a moment. Stay with us. There are times when our need to connect really matters. To keep customers and employees in the know. To keep business moving.

You can count on us. And the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. Help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. Leave bleeding gums behind. Parodontax. Lou the European Union has launched an interim review into a leak they exposed about how they bowed to pressure from the Chinese Communist party. An april report from the European Union about chinas handling of the wuhan virus left out a reference to chinas global Disinformation Campaign. That reference, however, had been included in an earlier internal report leaked to the New York Times. This is the sort of thing that the the that the e. U. Fascinates itself about. Were back with dr. Michael pillsbury. This business of the European Union, the u. K. Basically bowing to china, were seeing it more and more. This looks like a Disinformation Campaign launched by the chinese aggressively with the onset of this wuhan virus has paid dividends for them. I think thats right, lou. I think its time the europeans fought back. One of the things President Trump has done is initiated units inside the state department called the Global Engagement operation. They not only collect chinese lies and disinformation, they counteract it with the media. The europeans are talking about doing that right now, but were way behind in the european response. Lou well, that is [laughter] condition norm, i think is what we would have to say to that. Thank goodness the United States is responding aggressively. In that respect, how aggressively can we respond . The two great fears of china, what are our two strongest responses to those fears . What can we do to most hurt the chinese . A very important question, and you find that in Donald Trumps art of the deal, he discusses this a lot in his real estate deals. You want to know what the other side wants the most and what they fear the most, and that sets the basis of your negotiations. The chinese fear the most two things, they fear that the communist party of china will be targeted and will go the way of the soviet communist party. They write a lot about this. They sometimes fantasize that hong kong is the beachhead of this operation, thats why theyre cracking down on Hong Kong Lou what can we do to speed their, what can we do to speed their, that reality up . The communest partys dissolution communist partys dissolution from beijing . Well, weve got to take its got to become a goal of official u. S. Policy toward china. Right now it was not in the 16page document last week. Its got to become a goal the way it was with president reagan. The communist party of china is not good for the chinese people. Theyve got internal factions and, frankly, they could break up into two parties, the hardliners against the reformers. I think thatd be a good thing. Lou what is it [inaudible conversations] you can greatly expand that program. Lou and what is the second thing that we could do . Oh, they fear encirclement. They believe that their neighbors together have far greater military and economic power than china. Right now theres no coalition against china. Theres talk about coordinating measures, but basically the structure we have to create, an indopacific sort of secretariat and coalition agreements, that hasnt been started yet. I think the president is thinking about this as something he can do if [laughter] if joe biden is not put in by the chinese. The chinese fear right now, a third fear really, is that therell be a reelection of donald j. Trump, and their dream is biden takes over the white house will go up in smoke. Lou and as we wrap up here, mike, india, china, a border dispute long running, but both sides sending more military to that border. How give us your assessment of the possibility of a serious flareup. Its getting dangerous, lou. Im grad the president offer glad the president offered to mediate between india and china last week. Its getting quite dangerous. The indians wanted to build ad road on their territory, whats called eastern ladoc. The chinese are blocking that.
