Cade of the nations best minds, we begin with gordon chang. Go. Freeman of New York Times he has praised the chinese system. The one party they know how to get things done. While condemning the american system. Has he turned out to be right . What is going on in china . Well, Thomas Friedman has been wrong, so has klaus schwab head of World Economic forum who said that china was a model for the developing world, they are wrong, weve seen the fire on the 24th. Immediately there were protests, they were not coordinated. People were on the streets. They were on Streets Protesting Covid Rules which contributed to deaths in that fire, they said down with xi jinping, and down with the Communist Party. The mood on the streets in china, is they realize the root cause of the problems is the Communist Party, the system does not work. And if they thought about it, they would have said, Thomas Friedman is wrong. Mark yeah, New York Times, and cnn, have both praised the communist chinese handling of the pandemic. Which was to basically set up these camps. And to put fences and barbed wire around towns and cities to you talk about that fire that killed several people, including children, they welded the doors shut. And they say, they believe in zero tolerance. This is a country that would not communicate with us what the virus broke out, costing lives of one million americans. The people are taking to the street, what will reaction be . Give them a little bit of room or crush them . There are two things, on november 11, the regime announced 20 relaxation measures, which were not enforced. Or implemented. Also, there are hints and reports that the regime is also fo go through another round of relaxing a of covid measures, probably they will not be implemented. Other thing we have seen the videos of the masked concentration facilities, they say they are for quarantines, they cant be, i think that is to control the chinese people, this is gone beyond Disease Control to point of being able for Communist Party to make sure that the people are actually imprisoned. Mark i agree 100 . The facilities they are building, they almost remind you of the buildings they had in third reich. They are not attended to make people comfortable. So you are thinking, they will round up people they believe or suspect or political opponents, who are protesters, and put them in these camps . Is that your thinking . Yes, as well as ordinary chinese. Because these facilities are much too large for disease purposes. The one i in houses about two 50 thousand people, if they were worried about disease, they would be building icu rooms across the country. Hospitals are well behind the curve, that is one of the reasons why i think china will have a very difficult time coming out of covid. Even if they relax measures, they dont have the Hospital Facilities that are necessary to handle a surge. China probably will have a sinsurge of covid for various reasons. Xi jinping is hanging on for his political life, and his life, he has taken ironfisted control. He cannot allow this to get out of control. I think she in trouble. I think he is in trouble. He cemented his position with Communist Party last month, the Communist Party itself was losing control for chinese society, he has grabbed power from everyone else, that means he has nobody el to blame right now, his domestic policies have failed across the board, it is also in the economy. We see the disastrous plunge in Property Prices and other manifesting as of economic failure, the concern for United States, to escape flame for pros lemms problems at home he will try to distract the people with some military adventure aboard. There have been very dangerous intercepts in the Global Commons that cous that could end up in an accident with an american booker book, or a plan. Mark former Secretary Of State mike pompeo. Listen. It is my contention, i might be wrong, you wrote a fantastic piece called china and economic security. In shadow of ukraine, it is broader than that. My concern is china as you point out is preparing for war. Were preparing for nothing. What do you make of this . Yes, i think that is true. Some sense, in some places i think it is worse than that, were moving backwards, we have moved wokism and inclusion to top of your National Security interests and climb r Climate Claimpchange at top of o that. Instead of what weve been doing for the prior 4 years. We got deterrents right in the classic model of peace through strength, how we took down soviet union in 1990s. That is a Historic Press at the present Tdercht T Precedent that america has walked away from. Instead of using real power of america. The threat from the Chinese Communist party is perhaps greater than that of soviet union. Our economic interests, if you are a Machine Shop Worker in wichita, kansas they impact you, what happens in kyiv or moscow does not stay there, we have to get it right, to protect our nation, and make sure that we have the opportunity to continue to be a prosperous. Mark we have a president who doesnt rally the nation, a president that doesnt work with congress to build up our military congress. On its own trying to build up that military, you can see chinese is on the move. Unless you are an ostrich with your head in the sand, whether west africa or the Salomon Islands or the panama canal. The south china sea, they have really iron fist on right now, preparing to invade taiwan, they have destroyed hong kong, and putting a lot of resources into a lot of countries to take their ports if they can. They are threatening the philippines and vietnam and threatening south korea, and threatening japan. What is about this administration, are they really that stupid . President obama talked about pivoting to asia, did nothing, that president said were back, they are back to the fecklessness of challenging the Chinese Communist party, on this one, i think there are three things, first you have a president who is unwilling to use the power that american has, our economic might to protect the themes that matter. You rip new a list of things, ports across the world that is true. Dont forget the des ma decimation, Inflicted Paus because of wuhan virus, and billions of Wealth Stope En from the Chinese Communist party, i think in party, they dont see it because part of Climate Change folks. First person to meet wit it wasnt President Biden itpres was former Secretary Of State kerry. The climate guy. Not something that gives xi jinping any heartburn to lie to john kerry. There are a lot of Greedy Companies making a lot of money working alongside Chinese Communist party today, whether it is hollywood or our technology companies, or even financial institutions, they are working in china in ways that are detrimental to people of United States i think that Biden Administration is allowing them to do that, in ways they have to know hurt ordinary americans. You know mr. Secretary, maybe im getting too old, i remember a day when corporations were patriotic, a day when athletes would leave their positions on a team to join the u. S. Military. Today they trash the country. They make a fortune with our enemy, china whether it is sneakers or jerseys, same with corporations like apple and cocacola and others. Mark rafte after the break, Michael Pillsbury with the danger to china brings to the u. S. Well be right back. Cole hauser is an Award Winning actor who has starred in good will hunting too fast, too furious and the current hit show yellowstone. Beyond his impressive career, he is a proud supporter of the tunnel to towers foundation. I was able to spend some time with cole and his family to reflect on those who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedom. I know how much you care about america and our veterans and all the things. But you have such a platform now. Yeah. And to share that with us that we need to get the word out that we have to take care of these great heroes and their families. You know, as i started to be more and more successful, i was like, how can i help . But when i heard of the tunnel of the towers, and i met Brandon In Idaho and his family, i was like, wow. Theres actually a charity where we know where the moneys. Going to go. We have 95. 1 of every dollar goes to our programs. And i think brandons a great spokesman for t2t and and his wife, shannon, has two daughters. I mean, oh, my god. Theyre just special families. So pretty much, if you put your life on the line, if something goes bad, theyre there. Thats awesome. Yeah. Theyre incredible people, man. You saw all the stuff we put in these homes, right . I was i was blown away. And they deserve it. They earned it. This is not of course, we give them a mortgage free home, but look what they gave up. They gave up their bodies so, cole, why should americans give donate help . Tunnel to towers foundation. I mean, is there any Better Organization to help the people that has fought for this country and the freedoms that we have . Its that simple. It is that lets take care of each other. And youre going to join us on that mission. Thank you. Hey, im cole hauser. I want you to join me in supporting our nations heroes and their families. Its only 11 a month. Go to t2t dot org. Mark welcome back to special episode of life, liberty and levin, china, has pu publicly touted they want to be technological world leader by 2025 and seemingly using any means necessary. Is the u. S. Enabling it . Michael pillsbury. Says it is happening under our noses. Watch. We have a hell of a problem on our hands, no better expert than Michael Pillsbury, Hudson Institute who wrote this fabulous book. Given what they are doing in the world, our hemisphere, and the United States and africa and asia, and poor by onetaiwan, where are they. I believe they are ahead of schedule, i think they believe they are doing pretty well, i made a list of what you said about their outrageous conduct. I got to 25 points. I think you are missing one important point. In the whole ball game, may depend on this one. They have a program to induce complacency. Around the world. They keep track of their friends weather, inside of u. S. Congress or media, in Executive Branch of major countries of the world, this group is responsible for what you might say countering or neutralizing all 25 points you made, so countries will not make up to when china is doing. Getting them to block key legislation, that has been one of their big successes they had in last 10 years in dc, every time someone like senator tom cotton or marco rubio, well call it a brilliant piece of legislation to stop chinas activities, what will happen, they come on fox news and talk about why its a good idea, then en end up with 5 or ten cosponsors, and legislation goes nowhere. I can tell you. One people involved in this was nancy pelosi herself who Kevin Mccarthy invited her 3 years ago to form a bipartisan china task force, a holistic approach. You know what narches th nancy pelosi did in she stalled Kevin Mccarthy for a year, said no, and bid any Democratic Congress person from joining that task force, one of our best hopes may depend on changes to the republican control. In the house. Where Kevin Mccarthy can create a select Committee China with all key heads of Key Committees and do something. The metaphor captures what is happening right now, america first, Charles Lindbergh group, you didnt mention henry ford but he was involved, meeting hitler, that group is still in control of china hol policy, it should have an impact you would think, i am afraid without a Pearl Harbor Attack or something really outrageous that kills americans. Like sinking an Afternoon Aircr carrier. Sorry for the bad news. Mark i agree with you, it is so damn frustrating, what else do they have to do, they are Indoctri Indoctrinating the kids in our schools, they are stealing technology, they have spies all over the country, and interfering with economic flow and navigation, we have a virus that you came out of communist china, killing thousands of the americans. Millions in the world. You hear what theyre saying, they dont disguise their purpose or what are they are saying any more, they destroyed a very dear ally of ours, hong kong. They want to destroy taiwan, i could her Barry Goldwater turnovers in his grave right now, a lot of this, i think is a lack of historical perspective, a lack of knowledge, i hear people speak and act, as if were provoking them, or we need to secure our border, which we do and fix our economy, which we do, the chinese economy dont give a damn about that do that. No, as long as they can maintain their narrative, that they that they are innocent. Chairman powell. Contradicted senator portman, saying we protect our secrets it was straight denied. Of your 25 points, there is another one i think that is missing. I hope do you a book on this foreign, direct investment. From the u. S. Into china. This is provided about half of their growth over the last 20 or 30 years, no one knows the ac act total, a million of a trillion through the stock market. But there is quite a bit of private equity and other investment in china, this is the secreted to their power, they get American Capital and technology, use it against us to surpass us, legislation could stop that i dont think that jamie dimon and David Solomon or financial titans they think they can make money they do it, but they build china to a great dragon. Mark or pro propagandists. That tro. After the break we shift our focus on ukraine, with brave ukrainian people under assault, from the this monster of Vladimir Putin in his military. And their unbelievable battles again them and how they are pushing back. Well pursue this further with former commander of British Forces. In afghanistan, at the time, richard kemp. Well be right back. Welcome to fox news live, a busy agenda for President Biden as he attempts to unify a divided nation in the new year, members are fanning out to talk about how our economy is benefiting. Mr. Biden to join Senate Republican leader Mitch Mcconnell in kentucky on wednesday. It will highlight bipartisan trilli tril trillion dollar infrastructure bill. Santos to be sworn in but he should consider resigning after admitting to lying. Brady believes that santos will have to take huge steps to regain trust and respect. Back to life, liberty and levin. For all your headlines log on to foxnews. Com. Welcome back america. Enjoying tw years special episode, highlighting what is going on in ukraine. And abuses of russians against the ukrainian people, we return with Retired British colonel, richard kemp, he has advice to give to joe biden. You were commander of British Forces for a time in afghanistan, you provide a lot of advice to your government and other governments, you are highly sought out experts, you look at what is going on in ukraine now, i get mixed reports that russia, they lost a ton of troops and o artillery, and ukrain pull out. We have been deluding ourselves over ukraine, pretending ukraine is winning the war, which has not. The russians have a huge amount of powering. They have been using it in eastern ukraine, they have been winning, winning very not easily, but they have been winning convincingly, particularly using ou artillery to hammer the hell out of the ukrainian passenger, unfortunately, i have to say i believe that russia will win this conflict, it may not take the wheel of ukraine but a whole of ukraine but a huge amount and do great damage to ukraine and the west, nato has been weak in its response to this situation, u. S. Im afraid as also been weak, comes down to leadership, i think that reason this President Putin decided to invade ukraine when he did, is as a result of President Biden weakness in afghanistan, we see everywhere we look. In most recent trip to the middle east, we have seen weakness there we i have advice for joe biden, he should go and take some training from a group that ive been working with here in israel in last few weeks,
