tnt broadcaster, charles barkley, had to say to the vice president. vice president pence needs to shut the hell up, number one. all american companies are doing business in china. i don t understand why these holier than thou politicians, if they want to worry about china, why don t they stop all transactions with china? president trump has been talking about and has been arguing tariffs with china for two years. i think it s unfair for them to do all their business in china. and just because this thing happened, try to make the nba and our players look bad. charles believe companies should put profits and business first. it s an interesting collision. joe morrie is saying no comment. and mike pence said there s no effort to decouple the u.s. from china. he was the china hawk for this administration. here s what to watch today.
that was supporting the hong kong demonstrators. the owner of the new jersey nets heard a three-page pro-beijing communist screed. it s still up today. if the nba was only writing about trump in a positive way, only talking about trump in a positive way and never letting their players or management say anything negative about the administration. it would be inconceivable for them to do that in the united states, and yet that is the position de facto in china. which is kind of extraordinary. it would be weird for the administration not to be calling that out, frankly. interesting also just how far the reach of this has gone and how much we hear about this discussion now that we re two or three games into the nba season. charles barkley commented on mike pence s remarks last night. listen to this. vice president pence needs to shut the hell up.
by the way charles barkley last night on tnt when he was supposed to be doing analysis of the nba, said that mike pence, who you just showed there, should shut the hell up about china. steve: you want to hear that soundbite? let s play it. very prepared. steve: you heard con charges tell the vice president to shut the hell up, number one. all-american companies are doing business in china. i don t understand why these holier than thou politicians if they so want to worry about china, why don t they stop all transactions with china? brian: this administration in particular tough with china. also want to defend the muslim uighurs prison basicfully concentration camps that was part of mike pence s speech. no one has been tougher on the china than the president. even chuck schumer would say that. that s exactly right go back to republican and democratic administrations clinton, bush, obama. doesn t matter, no one stood up to china the way this administration does. here you have charles
prosecutors typically use. i m sure giuliani recalls the strategy from his time as a federal prosecutor. if there are bad facts that are going to come out, you want to be the one to disclose them so you can say it s no big deal as opposed to playing defense. that s if you are fairly certain that those details are going to come out. but this reporting that rudy giuliani is now representing himself, he doesn t have a lawyer, and he s thinking about reminds me of the adage of he who represents himself as a fool for a client. one of the things rudy giuliani would hear if head lawyer is he should shut the hell up. yeah, that seems to be the hardest thing for me to do. barrett, it s one of the things that is so strange about him, that any professional lawyer who s ever been near a courtroom knows this, knows the value of silence, especially knows the value of silence in relation to ongoing investigations.
this is why i said i tweeted out tonight, everybody just shut your pie holes for a minute and let the people who work for a living, the cops, not the politicians, you guys and ladies don t work, that s not a real job, okay, to let the cops who actually work for a living like bernie and i did once, let them do their jobs. just shut up! nobody ever got in trouble jenny jesse i m sorry, i m really upset right now. nobody ever got in trouble for shutting the hell up. just be quiet. nobody needs to hear from you right now. cory booker is not the tactile commander on the scene. this guy doesn t know squat. he doesn t know anything about policing. just shut up! that the cops figure it out. there will be a time to argue gun control, whatever you think gun control means, in a day or two. just shut up, give it the 24-hour rule. what s the problem? jesse: it s all right, you can call me jenny, i don t mind. i m really upset, you know i love you.
