Engage with china in a way that is constructive, to manage our differences, and to maximize opportunities for cooperation, and i have repeatedly said that i believe it is in the interests of the United States to see china grow, so pull people out of poverty, to expand its markets, because a successful and stable and peaceful china can then serve as an effective partner with us on a range of international challenges. Last night during our discussions, i i mentioned to president xi that as powerful as the United States is, the nature of the Biggest Challenges we face, things like climate change, or terrorism, or pandemic, or refugees, those are not issues that any one nation will take on.

Goal has been to consistently engage with china in a way that is constructive, to manage our differences and to maximize opportunities for cooperation. And i have repeatedly said that i believe it is in the interests of the United States to see china grow, to pull people out of poverty, to expand its markets because a successful and stable and peaceful china can then serve as an effective partner with us on a range of international challenges. Last night during our discussions, i mentioned to president xi that as powerful as the United States is, the nature of the Biggest Challenges we face, things like Climate Change or terrorism or pandemic or refugees, those are not issues that any one nation alone can solve, and we recognize because of our strength and the size of our economy and the excellence of our military that we can play a special role and carry a larger burden, but we cant do it alone.

I think that if he had to pray the prayer Saint Francis would say, make me a channel of thy peace, i think we should start we should send copies of that prayer to everybody in this government. Because more of them need to start praying it and they need to get out when they realize that what they brought this country to. Host

What about those who argue, it could hurt Energy Prices here or hurts the cause of green energy, what about critics who say that the exporting of crude oil is something that shouldnt happen . How do you respond to that . Mr. Flores should we stop exporting chevies next, should we stop exporting wheat, flour, corn . Why is oil any different than any other product thats produced by the American People . How can they justify picking one product out and say, oh, you cant export that . We want to export everything else. This is the president who republicans helped him get a free trade get fast track authority. Because he wants to be known as the free trade president.
