Cade of the nations best minds, we begin with gordon chang. Go. Freeman of New York Times he has praised the chinese system. The one party they know how to get things done. While condemning the american system. Has he turned out to be right . What is going on in china . Well, Thomas Friedman has been wrong, so has klaus schwab head of World Economic forum who said that china was a model for the developing world, they are wrong, weve seen the fire on the 24th. Immediately there were protests, they were not coordinated. People were on the streets. They were on Streets Protesting Covid Rules which contributed to deaths in that fire, they said down with xi jinping, and down with the Communist Party. The mood on the streets in china, is they realize the root cause of the problems is the Communist Party, the system does not work. And if they thought about it, they would have said, Thomas Friedman is wrong. Mark yeah, New York Times, and cnn, have both praised the communist chinese handling of the pandemic. Which was to basically set up these camps. And to put fences and barbed wire around towns and cities to you talk about that fire that killed several people, including children, they welded the doors shut. And they say, they believe in zero tolerance. This is a country that would not communicate with us what the virus broke out, costing lives of one million americans. The people are taking to the street, what will reaction be . Give them a little bit of room or crush them . There are two things, on november 11, the regime announced 20 relaxation measures, which were not enforced. Or implemented. Also, there are hints and reports that the regime is also fo go through another round of relaxing a of covid measures, probably they will not be implemented. Other thing we have seen the videos of the masked concentration facilities, they say they are for quarantines, they cant be, i think that is to control the chinese people, this is gone beyond Disease Control to point of being able for Communist Party to make sure that the people are actually imprisoned. Mark i agree 100 . The facilities they are building, they almost remind you of the buildings they had in third reich. They are not attended to make people comfortable. So you are thinking, they will round up people they believe or suspect or political opponents, who are protesters, and put them in these camps . Is that your thinking . Yes, as well as ordinary chinese. Because these facilities are much too large for disease purposes. The one i in houses about two 50 thousand people, if they were worried about disease, they would be building icu rooms across the country. Hospitals are well behind the curve, that is one of the reasons why i think china will have a very difficult time coming out of covid. Even if they relax measures, they dont have the Hospital Facilities that are necessary to handle a surge. China probably will have a sinsurge of covid for various reasons. Xi jinping is hanging on for his political life, and his life, he has taken ironfisted control. He cannot allow this to get out of control. I think she in trouble. I think he is in trouble. He cemented his position with Communist Party last month, the Communist Party itself was losing control for chinese society, he has grabbed power from everyone else, that means he has nobody el to blame right now, his domestic policies have failed across the board, it is also in the economy. We see the disastrous plunge in Property Prices and other manifesting as of economic failure, the concern for United States, to escape flame for pros lemms problems at home he will try to distract the people with some military adventure aboard. There have been very dangerous intercepts in the Global Commons that cous that could end up in an accident with an american booker book, or a plan. Mark former Secretary Of State mike pompeo. Listen. It is my contention, i might be wrong, you wrote a fantastic piece called china and economic security. In shadow of ukraine, it is broader than that. My concern is china as you point out is preparing for war. Were preparing for nothing. What do you make of this . Yes, i think that is true. Some sense, in some places i think it is worse than that, were moving backwards, we have moved wokism and inclusion to top of your National Security interests and climb r Climate Claimpchange at top of o that. Instead of what weve been doing for the prior 4 years. We got deterrents right in the classic model of peace through strength, how we took down soviet union in 1990s. That is a Historic Press at the present Tdercht T Precedent that america has walked away from. Instead of using real power of america. The threat from the Chinese Communist party is perhaps greater than that of soviet union. Our economic interests, if you are a Machine Shop Worker in wichita, kansas they impact you, what happens in kyiv or moscow does not stay there, we have to get it right, to protect our nation, and make sure that we have the opportunity to continue to be a prosperous. Mark we have a president who doesnt rally the nation, a president that doesnt work with congress to build up our military congress. On its own trying to build up that military, you can see chinese is on the move. Unless you are an ostrich with your head in the sand, whether west africa or the Salomon Islands or the panama canal. The south china sea, they have really iron fist on right now, preparing to invade taiwan, they have destroyed hong kong, and putting a lot of resources into a lot of countries to take their ports if they can. They are threatening the philippines and vietnam and threatening south korea, and threatening japan. What is about this administration, are they really that stupid . President obama talked about pivoting to asia, did nothing, that president said were back, they are back to the fecklessness of challenging the Chinese Communist party, on this one, i think there are three things, first you have a president who is unwilling to use the power that american has, our economic might to protect the themes that matter. You rip new a list of things, ports across the world that is true. Dont forget the des ma decimation, Inflicted Paus because of wuhan virus, and billions of Wealth Stope En from the Chinese Communist party, i think in party, they dont see it because part of Climate Change folks. First person to meet wit it wasnt President Biden itpres was former Secretary Of State kerry. The climate guy. Not something that gives xi jinping any heartburn to lie to john kerry. There are a lot of Greedy Companies making a lot of money working alongside Chinese Communist party today, whether it is hollywood or our technology companies, or even financial institutions, they are working in china in ways that are detrimental to people of United States i think that Biden Administration is allowing them to do that, in ways they have to know hurt ordinary americans. You know mr. Secretary, maybe im getting too old, i remember a day when corporations were patriotic, a day when athletes would leave their positions on a team to join the u. S. Military. Today they trash the country. They make a fortune with our enemy, china whether it is sneakers or jerseys, same with corporations like apple and cocacola and others. Mark rafte after the break, Michael Pillsbury with the danger to china brings to the u. S. Well be right back. Cole hauser is an Award Winning actor who has starred in good will hunting too fast, too furious and the current hit show yellowstone. Beyond his impressive career, he is a proud supporter of the tunnel to towers foundation. I was able to spend some time with cole and his family to reflect on those who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedom. I know how much you care about america and our veterans and all the things. But you have such a platform now. Yeah. And to share that with us that we need to get the word out that we have to take care of these great heroes and their families. You know, as i started to be more and more successful, i was like, how can i help . But when i heard of the tunnel of the towers, and i met Brandon In Idaho and his family, i was like, wow. Theres actually a charity where we know where the moneys. Going to go. We have 95. 1 of every dollar goes to our programs. And i think brandons a great spokesman for t2t and and his wife, shannon, has two daughters. I mean, oh, my god. Theyre just special families. So pretty much, if you put your life on the line, if something goes bad, theyre there. Thats awesome. Yeah. Theyre incredible people, man. You saw all the stuff we put in these homes, right . I was i was blown away. And they deserve it. They earned it. This is not of course, we give them a mortgage free home, but look what they gave up. They gave up their bodies so, cole, why should americans give donate help . Tunnel to towers foundation. I mean, is there any Better Organization to help the people that has fought for this country and the freedoms that we have . Its that simple. It is that lets take care of each other. And youre going to join us on that mission. Thank you. Hey, im cole hauser. I want you to join me in supporting our nations heroes and their families. Its only 11 a month. Go to t2t dot org. Mark welcome back to special episode of life, liberty and levin, china, has pu publicly touted they want to be technological world leader by 2025 and seemingly using any means necessary. Is the u. S. Enabling it . Michael pillsbury. Says it is happening under our noses. Watch. We have a hell of a problem on our hands, no better expert than Michael Pillsbury, Hudson Institute who wrote this fabulous book. Given what they are doing in the world, our hemisphere, and the United States and africa and asia, and poor by onetaiwan, where are they. I believe they are ahead of schedule, i think they believe they are doing pretty well, i made a list of what you said about their outrageous conduct. I got to 25 points. I think you are missing one important point. In the whole ball game, may depend on this one. They have a program to induce complacency. Around the world. They keep track of their friends weather, inside of u. S. Congress or media, in Executive Branch of major countries of the world, this group is responsible for what you might say countering or neutralizing all 25 points you made, so countries will not make up to when china is doing. Getting them to block key legislation, that has been one of their big successes they had in last 10 years in dc, every time someone like senator tom cotton or marco rubio, well call it a brilliant piece of legislation to stop chinas activities, what will happen, they come on fox news and talk about why its a good idea, then en end up with 5 or ten cosponsors, and legislation goes nowhere. I can tell you. One people involved in this was nancy pelosi herself who Kevin Mccarthy invited her 3 years ago to form a bipartisan china task force, a holistic approach. You know what narches th nancy pelosi did in she stalled Kevin Mccarthy for a year, said no, and bid any Democratic Congress person from joining that task force, one of our best hopes may depend on changes to the republican control. In the house. Where Kevin Mccarthy can create a select Committee China with all key heads of Key Committees and do something. The metaphor captures what is happening right now, america first, Charles Lindbergh group, you didnt mention henry ford but he was involved, meeting hitler, that group is still in control of china hol policy, it should have an impact you would think, i am afraid without a Pearl Harbor Attack or something really outrageous that kills americans. Like sinking an Afternoon Aircr carrier. Sorry for the bad news. Mark i agree with you, it is so damn frustrating, what else do they have to do, they are Indoctri Indoctrinating the kids in our schools, they are stealing technology, they have spies all over the country, and interfering with economic flow and navigation, we have a virus that you came out of communist china, killing thousands of the americans. Millions in the world. You hear what theyre saying, they dont disguise their purpose or what are they are saying any more, they destroyed a very dear ally of ours, hong kong. They want to destroy taiwan, i could her Barry Goldwater turnovers in his grave right now, a lot of this, i think is a lack of historical perspective, a lack of knowledge, i hear people speak and act, as if were provoking them, or we need to secure our border, which we do and fix our economy, which we do, the chinese economy dont give a damn about that do that. No, as long as they can maintain their narrative, that they that they are innocent. Chairman powell. Contradicted senator portman, saying we protect our secrets it was straight denied. Of your 25 points, there is another one i think that is missing. I hope do you a book on this foreign, direct investment. From the u. S. Into china. This is provided about half of their growth over the last 20 or 30 years, no one knows the ac act total, a million of a trillion through the stock market. But there is quite a bit of private equity and other investment in china, this is the secreted to their power, they get American Capital and technology, use it against us to surpass us, legislation could stop that i dont think that jamie dimon and David Solomon or financial titans they think they can make money they do it, but they build china to a great dragon. Mark or pro propagandists. That tro. After the break we shift our focus on ukraine, with brave ukrainian people under assault, from the this monster of Vladimir Putin in his military. And their unbelievable battles again them and how they are pushing back. Well pursue this further with former commander of British Forces. In afghanistan, at the time, richard kemp. Well be right back. Welcome to fox news live, a busy agenda for President Biden as he attempts to unify a divided nation in the new year, members are fanning out to talk about how our economy is benefiting. Mr. Biden to join Senate Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell in kentucky on wednesday. It will highlight bipartisan trilli tril trillion dollar infrastructure bill. Santos to be sworn in but he should consider resigning after admitting to lying. Brady believes that santos will have to take huge steps to regain trust and respect. Back to life, liberty and levin. For all your headlines log on to foxnews. Com. Welcome back america. Enjoying tw years special episode, highlighting what is going on in ukraine. And abuses of russians against the ukrainian people, we return with Retired British colonel, richard kemp, he has advice to give to joe biden. You were commander of British Forces for a time in afghanistan, you provide a lot of advice to your government and other governments, you are highly sought out experts, you look at what is going on in ukraine now, i get mixed reports that russia, they lost a ton of troops and o artillery, and ukrain pull out. We have been deluding ourselves over ukraine, pretending ukraine is winning the war, which has not. The russians have a huge amount of powering. They have been using it in eastern ukraine, they have been winning, winning very not easily, but they have been winning convincingly, particularly using ou artillery to hammer the hell out of the ukrainian passenger, unfortunately, i have to say i believe that russia will win this conflict, it may not take the wheel of ukraine but a whole of ukraine but a huge amount and do great damage to ukraine and the west, nato has been weak in its response to this situation, u. S. Im afraid as also been weak, comes down to leadership, i think that reason this President Putin decided to invade ukraine when he did, is as a result of President Biden weakness in afghanistan, we see everywhere we look. In most recent trip to the middle east, we have seen weakness there we i have advice for joe biden, he should go and take some training from a group that ive been working with here in israel in last few weeks, which is called club zed, a group of fantastic group, of young Jewish Americans who have been over here, working against or standing against some seasoned antiisrael campaigners and giving them back what they given more than they give, it is due to their strength and leadership and knowledge, we dont see that in joe biden, we need to see it, that is what always comes down, to strength. Strength to stand up with our allies like israel and ukraine and other middle 50e6eastern countries but we see weakness and appease ament at every turn, i hope somehow find in this administration reminded more steel, if not lets hope we can suri have survive in some form in the next administration. We have not even gun to speak about china. Mark right, back to the ukraine and russia issue. I have spoken with a number of mill air officials, they keep praising joe biden, his efforts. I keep saying he is a day late and dollar short, he is not giving then the kind of equipment they need, they are not allowed to actually attack within russia, im not saying march to moscow. If you have russia forces amassed on their side of the border, you are not allowed to hit them . No offense like colonists fights the british. Some old tactics that are not going to work, how about let them use tactics that will potentially work. Ahead. There should be no restraint with this conflict apart from adheres to laws of war, which must be done, but there be no restraint by u. S. , u. K. And other nato countries in providing ukraine with everything it needs, we mea need too step up to the mark. And to everything that we can to damage russia and to help ukraine to at least push russia back as far as it can. Mark colonel richard kemp thank you so for for coming on the program and for your past Heroic Service in the name and support of liberty, God Bless You my friend. Thank you. Mark First Ukrainian born retail in congress will join us to discuss the grit and determination of her native them in ukraine, well be right back. All across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. So were hard at work helping them achieve financial freedom. Were proud to serve people everywhere, in investing for the retirement they envision. From the plains to the coasts, we help americans invest for their future. And help communities thrive. Mark mark welcome back america. A few months agoman congresswoman Victoria Spartz minced no words when she revealed some in u. S. Are naive on the threat that n russia poses. Ss and how the ukrainian are really faring. Listen to her argument. We have for first time, a fantastic guest, representative Victoria Spartz. She issp a firstmen representative from indiana. She also is First Ukrainianborn female member of congress, first member born in a former soviet republican. Came ttrepuo u. S. In 2000. Became a u. S. Citizen in , the old fashion way. El a smart lady, welcome to you. Victoria spartz. Thank you. Mark ukraine is in a testough position, russians are using their Long Distance artillery and missiles. Ra while we andin others provide ukraine with mid rangeha missiles and artillery. Hardly fair fight. It seems were a day lateda and a dollar short of what they need. Take . S your unfortunately has been about 3 steps behind for a long time. If would have done something before the war happened, the wharf would not have happened. Putin understands it has a lot of drama. Ofi think that is a problemle m were facing, if ukraineul would received the weapons before the war, putinn wouldnt attack or athlete he would have a bigger resistance. Now we have the situation where this administration is slow working, until a lot of people started dying there, i think there is a mismatch, a lot of als people didntpe understand, ukrainian people are not just fighting for their country, but issue the ideals. T that thaput important for them, they want to be free, they to not want to go back to socialism communist, wet grew up in, that we value frfreedom, they will the fight and die for it until the end, they are fighting for western ideas. I think you are right. Le. T me ask, we have people here, who i call the putinoids. The putin wing of Republican Party and Democrat Party and media, they are in a smallort minority. Majority of americans support the ukrainians. And the argument is we have i ous r own border to worry about, and our own economy to worry about, why are we focused oncuse ukraine . That is their problem. Do you think any policy would change in theu uunit United States with respect to bidene on the border, th economy, inflation, gasoline or, anything, if we all of a sudden stopped trying to provide support to ukraine. Ca we cannot be naive. China and russia are eating our lunch in foreign policy. Dont think that this whole fight is to embarrass us,it Uniteded States in the west, there is a strike with us, they want to try to divide. Influence of the world, we have not think we can isolate ourselves and they com are not becoming for us, they will be coming to us. It will be on our border. If we dont deal. Right now there is a lot of things happening with potential hunger in africa, russia is trying to destabilize the balkans and poland from inside, northern island, they are doing thins, inansasia and in cahoots with china. We h we dont have good energy policies, we dont have border security. What do you think will happen when the hunger destabilized and we have an open border, do you think it will not be a problem . What will happen withg terrorists, they will shakupe up africa, and an open border . What do yobordu think will happen if europe getting on fire with all of the instabilities that willab happen iiln europe . You think it is not ato factor . We cannot be naive. Dont think that this is the Gai Fight Against us. We help ukrainians to Fight H Foelr us, and win or there is no option, we will have sendon, our charge to die, i dontdren want to do it as a congresswoman, we dont learn from history, we had world war ii, were repeating same mistakes, we need to start learning and nomet be dumb. Mark after the break. What is really going on in iran . Formerl trump National Security official richardd goldberg on thgoe rising civil unrest there well be right back. Mark welcome back america, protests have been Eresult Rupting in streets of cities aircraft croacross iran. Tensions have got etch wor gotten boris under th Biden Administration. Our next great guest richard goldberg, former senior official under president trump. Senior adviser foundation for defense of democracies. I want to focus on another genocidal regime tha that is iran, they are trying to arm up to defeat us. This is no joke. If people say what does this have to do with us everything. Lets did lets go to iran, what is going on in iran . I have not heart joe biden speak much about it. One quib o am joe biden said he would free iran, his aids said no. As we know administration continues to leave the door open to a nuclear deal that would give this regime a trillion dollars by 20 thirs30. We have documented 1800 different protests. Protests that sometimes are hundreds or dozens or people out to streets and to their Alley Lighting Tires on fire. Screaming from rooftops, honking horns. Sometimes major protests, women at the forefront of this. On the streets, demanding rights, demanding to be able to decide what they ware on their head. Sayings we will not be killed or raped. We will not be beaten in the streets because we are being told to comply with the extremist religious laws. What we have right now, two months now is a revolution. We are seeing more than 40 years after 1979 islamic revolution, a new revolution of modern iran, the people of iran saying we dont believe in this regime, we like america. We just saw the videos com come out av team usa. People in iran celebrating america winning. Honking their horns, the regimes secret police, Revolutionary Guard they were on streets shooting people who were honging the morn honking their horns for america. We have seen a ne few sanctions on people. A little bit of economic sanctions, we have not seen joe biden himself come to the white house podium and give a speech delivered to the iranian people, saying we, america are with you. We are not with the terrorist sponsoring dictators, we are no longer going to offer this regime sanction relief, nuclear deal is off the table, period. We have a policy as u. S. Government to support you in bringing down this regime h is not the iraq war, not invading, ran th. This is more what Ronald Reagan would call a victory strategy. Were not afraid to say, this is an evil regime in iran, we want to see it fall, we will ute use resources to help iran r iranian people bring it about, we need to combine maximum pressure is maximum support. Mark so true, donald trump had his foot on the throat of that regime, as soon as biden came in, he lifted that foot. He lifted sanctions, the economic sanctions, he went right back to same policies of appease am and sement and soldout, now the khameneis niece she spoke out what happened to her. It is a complicated family relationship, other Family Members have decented in past, she was imprisoned and taken off the streets. But we have seen reports that other former leaders of this regime, former president s were approached asking to speak out to support regime, call their supporters off the streets, they refused to do that, in 2019 in trump washington wawash white house, they had protests that lasted about a week, they killed 1500 people in is now two months across the country, there is a movement, a revolution, the regime does not know how to handle it. They are killing people, there are hundreds dead but they are not stopping the will of the people to speak out, i think that are millions of iranians waiting to see whatu u. S. Does. Waiting to see whether the president of United States is still willing to offer this Regime Sanctions Relief or to a nuk nuclear deal. In joe biden goes to podium and say it is off the table, were going to maximum pressure on sanctions and hold Chinese Companies and banks who are helping iran araccountable. And then actual provide maximum support if the iranian people that is not just saying, we want elon musk to bring star link to iran that means actually finds out what do they need, it could be intelligence, information about economy Security Forces or Cyber Tap Type capabilities we could bring to bear, other shorts of hel other supports. We did this during the soviet union, Ronald Reagan brought down the soviet went with these strategies. Mark when we come back.
