ccp allowing this deadly virus to escape its borders and why hasn t biden brought up the origins of covid with xi jinping now six months into his term? yeah, as you know, maria, after the election i wrote an op-ed calling china our number one national security threat and talked about as the person who has seen more intelligence than anyone in the country for the past we re, how clear it is that they re not just an adversary but someone that wants to supplant us as the world s super power. as we shared the information with the incoming biden folk, our hope is they wouldn t have just tough rhetoric, that they would have tough action. clearly, that has not been the case. your reaction, senator? your listeners need to realize that china wants to own the world. that is their goal right now. as you pointed out many times, they steal $500 billion of intellectual property from us
warheads that the u.s. has permitted in total under our arms control agreements with russia. now, china of course has nukes on submarines, it has land-based mobile missiles. it has air launch missiles. so china could very well end up with a larger arsenal than the united states and then of course there s russia and china and russia cooperate. so in a conflict we could find ourselves with an inadequate nuclear deterrent. jason: again, do of we think that this is because they perceive biden as weak and won t do anything? or was this part of the natural trajectory anyway? i think it s both. but they do perceive that they can push the united states around. which is one of the reasons why there was that par shall rhetoric in harsh rhetoric in xi jinping s speech on thursday. they don t think the united states whim do will do anything. we ve seen this in a number of different things that china has done since the biden team took over. so yes, we ve got to be
