honest, we have gone to the mat with china, on how many soybeans they buy more than we have on. and then if the biden administration wanted to be brave and bold on this issue. if they wanted to be back up the farsighted and eloquent statement that they have put out in response to domestically do you think they would have a fight on their hands, do you think that would be a partisan split or it would become some sort of one of these impasses in washington, or is this is sort of thing where, for example, if they wanted to offer dissidents asylum in this country, from hong kong, do you think that congress could actually do it? well look, being tough on china, standing up to china, whatever you want to call it, is the one bipartisan issue in our politics. i think it s a good test of the republican party s rhetoric on
that? how people can become what the president is saying, if it s wrong, that we are bringing in millions of billions in the tariffs put in place, that there is no climate crisis? listen, i think we need leaders who will base their position on two things, one is reality and science that ultimately wins debates and is winning the climate crisis debate. the american people understand the jig is up. they re demanding a response to the fires and floods. they re seeing the jobs being created and we re winning this debate over time. number two, i think this is very important as well. we need leaders who will put themselves allied with the basic character values of the american people. look, we are a farsighted, innovative people. we event, we create, we build. we re always future oriented. we don t look backwards. and with confidence.
