china but also the u.s. as well as the world. well, senator , unfortunately it looks like biden and his team at least the globalists on his team already appear to have bought this logic. well, you gave some very good and alarming examples that we ve seen over the last two years of our very dangerous dependance on china. this is the example. it s just the latest one or the active pharmaceutical ingredients we saw early in the pandemic are simply basic medical and surgical equipment and that s to say nothing of advanced electronics and technology used the very important word as well decoupling. we need to discuss our economy in strategic and vital sectors from the chinese economy. we cannot be dependent on the goods that feed and clothe us and provide us defense and literally save our lives from a communist chinese regime that wants to replace us as the world s dominant power. it was a mistake to let happen
point of raising this is and we re not going to be able to talk much about it today but conservation, you know, we have no plan they have no plan to bring down energy prices today . i would make the arguments that biden speaks more truth than his stumbles than when he actually reads the copy cleanly. laura .ea and as you were talking aboutus earlier, the president is now pushing to lift those tariffs on china in an underreported story, cardinal joseph zheng of hong kong, a tireless voice fors freedom and religious rights. he was arrested r by therr ccphe this morning. though the white house called for his release, biden said nothingef. ditto for the pope, which isst really distressing.ree the vatican vatican which made l with china, the government permitting g to pick bishops nt in a statement said they were watching the situation with extremehing attention. thankfully, cardinal yeah, thankfully cardinal zen was thankfully cardinal zen was
then biden tried to make you feel better about the disastrous state of our economy and our lower standard of living by comparing life at the height of the pandemic to the days of biden infrastructure box, we gave them a whole lot of money. we had it back four hundred sixty thousand jobs critical state local workers, educators ,firefighters, police officers, rimando long lines, syrian television people lining up and all kinds of vehicles just to get a box of food. how could we forget and what are the maga crowd want to do? forget it, forget it. people would have to wait like an hour, hour and a half to get a box of food. they re trying just unbelievable to his speechwriters not see the irony here. a few hours earlier he gave a speech about inflation
it hasn t even lived up to its phase one agreement to buy two hundred billion dollars worth of agricultural products from us . it obviously knew that with trump out when they agree to it, when trump trump is out, they could welch on the bargain and there d be no consequences . so how bad will this be already with trump s tariffs in place, china is on pace to enjoy a trade surplus of over four hundred billion with the us this year alone. so the way things look, biden is simply going to declare that whole tariff thing was a mistake that just contributed to higher prices for all consumers. somehow, though, biden thinks that he can mollify americans concerns about china with vapid comments masquerading as tough talk. and he said he was talking about america s diminishing power. and i said, mr. president, it s never been a good bet to bet against the american people. no one s ever won betting
house comforting. they really think this is all just a messaging problem. don t say that americans are stupid. so stupid as to believe that any of biden s gestures will fundamentally alter the economic plight that they see before them. but the people of this great country are smarter than the elites think and if they could right now, yeah, that s sen. biden and all of his enablers back to the farm and permanently out to pasture and that s angle. joining me now is arkansas senator tom cotton, senator , this tariff deal and the twenty four, five , six , seven, eight republican senators who will vote to remove the tariffs on china were voted to remove the tariffs on china. how is that going to help the u.s. economy? laura , it s good to be on with you. i think you put it well. i don t think old biden has ever been to a farm or understands what s driving the inflation we see at
