• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, he's back the emost hated and love man and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: social media. Donald Trump is coming back with his truth
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: social network, and it is going to make liberals go insane.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior came out and talked about the return
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: of the President Donald Trump to social media, and he
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: also said more than that, this will give a voice
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: back to those who need it, those who have been silenced. Now,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: if you've been silenced by social media's shadow band by
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: social media, have been shut down, or they take away
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: your ability to post certain stories, which happened to me
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and many other conservatives. When you hear something like this,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you get excited for good reason. So what exactly is
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: truth social here's a little bit more about it from
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior joining us Now, Donald Trump Junior, I
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: want to stop with this big news. Looking at just
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: thenews dot com, our friend John Solomon, editor in chief.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Trump announces formation of own media company, social platform to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: counter censorship, to give a voice to all. And what
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: can you tell us about it? Well, Sean, it's a
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: big deal. You know, for so long, big tech has
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: suppressed conservative voices. If your pro Second Amendment, if you're
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: pro life, if you're a religious, if you're just a conservative.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You have been in Facebook jail, you have been d platform,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you have been demonetized. What we're trying to do is
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: create a big, tense and open and free network for
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: people to be able to communicate, to exercise your First
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Amendment rights. And so tonight my father signed a definitive
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: merger agreement to form what will ultimately be the Trump
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Media and Technology Group and Truth Social, a platform for
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: everyone to express their feelings big tech and all of
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: those on the left. For so long, Sean have been saying, well,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: if you don't like the rules that we really enforce
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: only one way on our platform, go create your own.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: And so we did just that. So that's gonna launch
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: very soon. We're gonna be in beta testing in the
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: next few weeks, full launch first quarter of twenty two.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: It's going to be exciting. And we're looking to give
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a voice back to the American people. You saw what
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they did to the President of the United States. We
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that Americans have a voice, no
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: political discrimination. We're going to cancel cancel culture. We're gonna
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: stand up and push back against the tyranny of big tech.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I think America has been waiting for this. We've been
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: working on it for a while. We've kept it under wraps,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: but now we are in process to get that going
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to return our voice back to those who need it
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and who want it, Conservatives everywhere and frankly, people everywhere,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: because we want a discourse amongst everyone, not a one
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: side of platform where if someone on the left disagrees
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: with you, they just cancel you and wipe you out.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: So go to truth social dot com. Sign up. We'll
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: get you involved on the beta testing when that launches
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: in a few weeks, and then we're gonna launch fully
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in twenty two. It's gonna be awesome. By the way,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: if you have not gone a truth Social, you need
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: to do it. It's amazing to see that they're going
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: to do this. And this is part of the reason
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: why you've noticed Donald Trump has not been joining any
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: other social networks that have popped up. And the reason
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is because he was creating his own. And we all
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: knew this. It was pretty obvious, right, Look, he's gonna
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: start his own. Get ready, He's going to start his
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: own and that is exactly what he is doing here. Now.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: One of the parts that Don Junior said there that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I think is so important is the fact that he says, Look,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about what the mainstream media is
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: covering up. We're going to allow you to post things
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: that are not going to be censored when it comes
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to vaccines and mandates and hydroxic chloric quim and all
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of these different things that the social media big tech
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: as silencing. We're gonna have a grand debate because they
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: have been biased for far too long. It's amazing because they,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you know, the most extreme ayatollahs Amulas, they have a
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: platform on Twitter. Your father's canceled. Let me have everything
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that we were talking about earlier with Kevin McCarthy and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with Senator Kennedy. Afghanistan, preventable the border, preventable energy independence.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: We had it, Joe gave it up. He's now begging opek,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the economy, the supply chain disaster. More people dead in
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: this country from COVID this year than last year. I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: don't see any more of those those COVID counts on
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: fake news CNN or MSDNC Don Junior No. One hundred
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: because our news has been so biased for so long,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: our social media platforms have been so biased for so long.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: As long as they're able to further their narrative, they
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: will talk about it. The second gets in the way
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: of their narrative, all of a sudden, it magically disappears.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: It's blacklisted. You won't see it anywhere, And that was
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a big part of why we wanted to create Truth
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Social We want to make sure that these things get
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: out there. You see it with big tech, you see
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: it in the search engines. You look up a major
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: topic and all you see is the CNN, MSNBC, YadA, YadA, YadA,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the leftist narrative all the way down. You can never
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: get to the other side of the story, and so
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: we want to make sure that the other side of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the story is finally heard. Yes, you've listed sean all
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: of the disasters of this administration, and there's so many more.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: There's not a single success that anyone could point to,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: unless you're perhaps in China, in which case they're loving
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden because he's doing a phenomenal job for the
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Chinese and their ambitions to take over the world. If
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you live in Russia, you're probably pretty happy too, because
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Joe's policies are making Putin and Russia rich again. Interesting
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Hunter made money from Russia and China and Kazakhstan and
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Ukraine of course, and the last name where Trump. I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: think it would be a different story, all right. So
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the launch is in first quarter twenty twenty two. People
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: can go to what website to sign up? Yeah, go
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to truthsocial dot com. You could sign up there, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks you're gonna actually can be
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: part of the beta testing over the site. And then
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have the full launch in early twenty twenty two,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and we're finally gonna push back against the tyranny of
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: big tech. I love it. By the way, this is
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: run in time for the mid term elections. You noticed
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this now. One of the reasons why this is so
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: important is I'm going to give you a headline that's
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: already been shut down from being shared on social media.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: NIH has come out and has contradicted doctor Fauci, admitting
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: that funding of gain of function research did happen in
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: America paid for it at the Wuhan Lab. We tried
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to share this article earlier on social media. We were
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: not allowed to share it at all. The mocular biologists
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Richard Ebright has posted a letter from the NIH showing
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: that an NIH grant did fund gang A function research
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, contrary to what doctor
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Fauci had testified to the Senate, which would mean that
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: he lied. Faunci testified to senators out of hearing in
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: May that the NAH had never ever and does not
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: now fund gain of function research in the Wuhan Institute
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: of Virology quote unquote. However, the nih is October twentieth
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: letter to House Oversight Committee ranking Member James Comer, Republican Kentucky,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: showed that the NIH grant, which was awarded to Echo
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Health Alliance and then sub awarded to the Wuhan Lab,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: fund today research project during twenty eighteen and nineteen that tested, quote,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: if spike proteins from naturally occurring back coronaviruses circulating in China,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: we're capable of binding to the human AC two receptor
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in a mouse model quote unquote. The letter added quote,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: In this limited experiment laboratory, mice infected with the SHCO
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: fourteen w I vii bat coronavirus became sicker than those
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: infected with the wi v one back coronavirus. This is
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: gain A function research, folks. According to the Department of
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Health and Human Services, quote unquote, gain a function research
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: is research that improves the ability of a pathogen to
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: cause disease. Ebright tweeted that in the letter, the NIH
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: corrects untruthful assertions by the NIH director Colin and the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: NIAID director Fauci that the NIH had not funded gain
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a Function research in Wuhan. Translation, doctor Fauci lied under
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: oath to Congress. Will there be any ramifications for this now?
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: This contradiction is on the Department of Health and Human
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Services letterhead dated October twentieth in response to this request. Again,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the NIH, it is on paper, it has been delivered
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: to Congress, corrects the untruthful assertion. I call that a
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: lie by the NIH director Collins and the NIAID director Fauci,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that the NIH did not fund gain a Function research
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in Wuhan. The NIH states that again Echo Health Alliance
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: violated terms and conditions of the grant. Doctor Fauci lied
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: to Congress. Will there be any accountability for this? Now?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: A lot of you may be seeing the headlines about
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon, Steve Bannon, They're gonna vote in
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the full House, breaking news headline Steve Bannon is gonna
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: go to jail because he's refusing the subpoenas on the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: January six and they're coming after him. They're gonna vote
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: on at the full House, and they're gonna pound him,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and they're gonna arrest him. He's saying executive privilege doesn't matter. Right,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: We're gonna nail him. We are gonna nail Steve Bannon.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Steve Bannon, spawn of Satan. Steve Bannon is the worst
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: person the world. Steve Bannon help orchestrate nine to eleven,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: I mean January six, right, because it's the equivalent if
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you listen to these guys. That's what the media is
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: focusing on right now. I wonder why the media is
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: not focusing on doctor Fauci Lyne. Wonder why they're not
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: going wall to wall with the NIH saying doctor Fauchi
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: lied admitting funding gain of function research to the Wuhan
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Lab with your tax dollars, which is not supposed to
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: happen technically, it's actually against the law. Remember sendor Ran
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Paul Senda ram Paul has not stopped talking and recounting
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: every exchange with doctor Fauci as he's been standing up
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to doctor Fauci's lies and his lies on GANTA function. Now,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: if we're gonna go after Steve Bannon and we're gonna
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: put him in jail, then how is doctor Faucci not
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: in jail right now? I'm just using the same logic. Okay, Now,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Bannon hasn't lied to Congress, by the way, Faucci apparently has.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Bannon just refusing to testify in January sixth with a subpoena,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: and they're acting like he is a terrorist. I'm gonna
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: play for you some of this it's been put out
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: by Sendor Paul, and remind you of some of those
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: exchanges with doctor Fauci. Take a listen, Senator Paul. You
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: do not know what you are talking about, quite frankly,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: and I want to say that officially, you do not
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: know what you are talking about. Senor Paul. Revisit that
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: fire exchange with doctor Fauci. Here's what he said and
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the NIH definition of gain and function. And if he
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to be a dispassionate scientist, if he wanted to
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: be more level headed, he could have tried to respond
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: to the NIH definition and told us specifically how it
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: doesn't apply. Instead, his emotions got the better of him,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: and you are implying that what we did was responsible
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: for the deaths of the individual. I totally resent that,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and if anybody is lying here, Senator, it is you.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It's important for the public to know that doctor Fauci
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: is not a disinterested player. He's not objective. He has
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a self interest in making sure that no one believes
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: this came from the lab, because he would have blame
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: attached to him for funding that lab. Well, we gave
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: him every chance to retract his statement or modify his statement.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: His statement was that the NIH has never funded gain
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and function research in Wuhan. Doctor Fouci, knowing that it
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: is a crime to lie to Congress, do you wish
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: to retract your statement of May eleventh, where you claimed
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that the NIH never funded gain a function research in Wuhan.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Senator Paul, I have never lied before the Congress, and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I do not retract that statement. The NIH has not
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: eva and does not now fund gain a function research
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: in the Wuhan Institute. So we showed him the evidence.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: The evidence is the research from twenty seventeen in the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: paper that we presented and by doctor she that is
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: from a peer Review Journal. She actually acknowledges the funding
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: and lists the actual routing number for the grants. She
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: got so on the first question of whether or not
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the NIH funded Wuhan, without question, they did, and there's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: a question of whether or not that continues to this day,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: whether it's going through a subsidiary, this Eco Health Alliance,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: whether or not they're still sending money to Wuhan. Jake
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: Tapper halfway challenged him last week when he asked doctor
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Falci about would you continue to do this? And doctor
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Routie's answer is, oh, We've always had safeguards and we
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: will always have safeguards given that the Chinese government won't
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: allow any real investigation. Do you still think the US
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: government should collaborate with labs like Wuhan, especially on research
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: that experts consider risky. Well, we have always been very careful,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: and looking forward, we will continue to be very careful
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: in what we do. He didn't answer the question do
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you still trust the Chinese? Senator Kennedy asked him the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: same question to hearing in the last couple of weeks,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: So you don't think the Chinese would laugh to you?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: And he dances around the subject. He's still for funding
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: the lab in Wuhan. And the thing is, to me,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: that shows colossal lack of judgment. I mean, four million
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: people have died. So we quoted a very specific paper
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to him from twenty seventeen from doctor She So she
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: took an unknown virus with unknown lethality, and she combined
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: it with a known virus with a fifteen percent more fatality,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and then she discovered that yes, indeed, this new virus
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that she created in the lab could infect human cells
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and damage primate cells. I go over this and I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: play it because I think it's important to understand what
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: doctor Fauci has actually said and what he's said under oath,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: and how he lied to the American people under oath
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: and now the NIH, and again I can't even post
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: this on social media. The NIH is now saying Fauci lied.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: They are contradicting Fauci. They are admitting funding to gain
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: a function research to the Wuhan lab, which is exactly
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: what Senator Rand Paul has been saying for about nine
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: months now, and he's laying out the case right now.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: So why is it that once the NIH says that
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: this happened and Fauci testified, the Senators out of hearing
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: in May that the NAH quote has not ever and
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: does not now fund gang a function research in the
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Wuhan instead of virology. And now we know that is
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: a lie. And now we know that on the letterhead
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: of the Department of Health and Human Services dated October twentieth,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, in a letter to Congress, they are
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: correcting the untruthful assertions by the NAH director Collins and
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: doctor Fauci that the NAH had not fun to gain
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: a function research in Wuhan. How is Congress not losing
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: their minds? And how is the media not covering this
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: to exactly why? Because they don't want you to know
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the truth. They don't want you to know the truth
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: on any of this. Now, this goes back to what
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I'm saying about how why I'm so glad that we
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: are saying that there's going to be a new social
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: media platform done by Donald Trump, because this is the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: only way we start getting this news out there. And
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: when you hear things like this, I say it each
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: and every day, please share it with your family and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: your friends, give this information, share our podcast, and share
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this because this is the stuff that literally you can't
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: put on big tech. This is the stuff you cannot
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: put out with big tech. They won't you do it.
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: And the media is now obsessed with Steve Bannon. Yeah,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Steve Bannon should go to jail. We're gonna vote in
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Congress on Steve Bannon going to jail because he's refusing
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: a subpoena when he's saying, hey, executive privileged folks, same
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: thing the presidents saying, by the way, and they're like, oh,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna show him. We're gonna stick him
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: in jail. We're gonna charge him and stick him gonna
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: we're gonna go get him, and we're gonna arrest him.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci actually lied to Congress. We're gonna arrest him. No,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about him. Of course not. Why would
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: we do that because we have two sets of rules
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: in this country. We have one set of rules for
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Republicans that we want to silence and shut up, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: we have another set of rules for Democrats. And you
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: can put anything out there you want in Congress. You
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: can lie under oath and there will be no accountability.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Faucci is proof of that there's something really important actually
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: happening in right now. That's totally related to doctor Fauci's
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: totally related to him lying to Congress, is totally related
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: to how you're having to live your life right now
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: with mass mandates, vaccine mandates, losing your job. It's about
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: the origins of COVID nineteen and there is something going
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: on right now that's a really big deal. We have
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: a Chinese ambassador nominee who is going through confirmation right now.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: No one is covering this in the media. You will
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: see nothing in the media about present Biden's nominee to
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: be the ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns. Nicholas Burns is
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: getting beat up a little bit, but the media is
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: not going to show it to you either. Senator Johnson
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: actually had a very interesting back and forth with the
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Chinese ambassador nominee, Nicholas Burns, for denying that the COVID
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: nineteen lab week theory is something that we should really
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: be looking at right like we should be looking at Wuhan.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Should we even hold China accountable? Take a listen to
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: this shocking back and forth. And again, the media, if
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: you're looking at the main stream, they're not even telling
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you right now that President Biden has a nominee to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: be the ambassador at China. I would argue the most
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: important ambassador right now with what's going on in the world,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: they're just not covering it at all. Thank you, Sander Jones,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Thank you, MISSUS Chairman, Ambassador Burns, thank you for your
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: prior service and your willingness to serve in this capacity.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: I agree with you that if we act intelligently, the US,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: in concert with our allies in the West, we can
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: compete with China. China, though, has advantages in terms of
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: very long term, very strategic thinking, authoritarian. They don't have
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: the back and forth of elections that type of thing,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: so they have utilized that long term strategic thinking, while
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: the West literally has not done much to counter their
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: infiltration into our institutions. They're stealing of our intellectual property
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: since they're answering to the WTO, and just like you
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: to comment on how do we know, how do we
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: counter what they've done, and how we do that effectively?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Senator thank you. I think it's I think it's a
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: central question. We have to have a strategy to match
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: China's strategy. I think that is beginning to develop over
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: the last several years in the administrate the last three
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: administrations President Obama, President Trump, and President Biden. And as
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I said in my testimony, what distinguishes us and strengthens
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: us is the fact that we have our alliance with
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Japan and our alliance with Australia and South Korea. And
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: I've been involved in my pastive amount of career and
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: intensive discussions with the Europeans. I think they're less united,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: perhaps in the European Union right now, but I sense
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: that the Europeans are shifting to understand the threat the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: threat to them as well as to us in our
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Indo Pacific allies. So I think operating on an allied
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: basis is the most important thing we can do, and
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: sometimes that means we form institutions. So the QUAD is
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: an institution that both parties can be proud of. Republican
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and Democratic presidents have supported the QUAD, and now President
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Biden is operationalizing at the head of government level, which
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: we hadn't done before. Alkis free countries coming together. We
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: need to build the institutions that are permanent and that
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: take this policy that we're discussing this morning into the
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: twenty thirties. Because the competition with China will be multidecade.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I do want to address specifically their infiltration into our
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: university systems, the Confucius institutes, their investment in things like
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: medical journals. It really concerns me. You know, there is
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: so much we don't know, for example, bout the coronavirus,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: so much we don't know about COVID. I really do,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: and I really want to get your take on a
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: real potential fault line when we start learning more, for example,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: about the origin theory. I mean, I don't know whether
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it was lab leak or there's natural origin. People listen
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: very carefully. Senator Johnson is being very strategic with the
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: most important Biden nominee so far for the Ambassador to China,
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Nicholas Burns, and Senator Johnson is not trying to put
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: him in a corner. He's being very strategic. He says,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's lab leak or natural origins.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: But what I do know as it came from China.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: What I do know as they've been lying to us.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: And I want you to listen to how quickly this ambassador,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: this nominee to Ambassador to China, Nicholas Burns defends China.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: People are trying to look into that. Obviously there's a
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: cover up here for eighteen months and as a result,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: gave China really good head started at bearing evidence. But
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: back in March twenty twenty, participated in a virtual event
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: that Harvard's Kendy Center, and you definitely your criticism critical
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: of China, saying that this was an army exercise. But
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: at the same time, you're very critical of Pressant Trump
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: for calling it the Chinese virus, of the Wuhan virus.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: He said that we all know that's wrong, we all
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: know that's racist, we all know that's not true. I
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: guess I'm kind of wondering how did you know? We
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: still don't know. How are you so positive? But this
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't a lab league theory? And have you changed your mind?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Have you seen other evidence that would at least open
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: up your mind to that prospect, Because if it is
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: determined that it probably was not a natural origin and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: did leap from a lab in Wuhan, that will have
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: very serious geopolitical repercussions between our relationship with China. Thank you, Senator.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I want to agree with you briefly on the issue
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: of students and exchanges. We ought to welcome Chinese students
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: into the United States, but student visas are not a right.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: They have to be earned, Our laws have to be observed.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: There are some Chinese student applicants who have ties to
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: the PLA, the People's Liberation Army, and China's intelligence services,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: and we should turn them down for visas, and we
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: have to be clear about that. But we also have
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy five thousand students in our universities
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: and secondary schools in your state and my state at
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: my university, and we are better off having them in
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: this country to learn about our democracy. On the coronavirus.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: The problem here is with China. The Chinese government will
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: withheld information very clearly from their own people and the
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: rest of the world for about a month in eight
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: December and January of twenty twenty. I have consistently criticized
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: the Chinese government for that, and they deserve to be criticized.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: And they've been stonewalling all of us around the world
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: since January of twenty twenty, including this week when they
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: refused to act to work with the World Health Organization's
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: new investigative body to answer the question that you rightfully asked.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: But again my questions, are you still so certain that
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: lab leak is off the table? Because you were very
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: certain back then you said it was you know, we
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: all know that's not true. Have you changed you thinking
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: on that, because I think it's important if you're gonna
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: be ambassador to China that you haven't a more open
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: mind on this than you exhibited back in March of
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. So, Senator I spoke often about this issue
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: of US China relations at that period of time, and
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: I believe that that quote from the Kennedy School event
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: was directed to President Trump's use at the term Wuhan virus,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: which I did not think would be effective with the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Chinese government or Chinese people, or people around the world.
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: It had nothing to do with the origins of the
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: crisis of the pandemic. My position has been all along
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: and continues this day. We need to investigate. We don't
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: know where the how this virus originated, for sure, there
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: are multiple theories. That's by the way. Now what he
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: just said a moment ago, this is going to be
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: our ambassador. This is going to be our ambassador to China.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: And this dude is defending China more than he is
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: defending the United States of America. You'd think this would
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: make national news, right, Ambassador for Ambassador to China defends
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: China's actions on coronavirus. There's a good headline for you
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that will never be published. Why because they don't want
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. This guy is nothing but a
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: puppet for China. Nothing but a puppet for China. You'd
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: think that'd be a news story. Nope, I'm not going
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. May Or Pete, by the way,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: coming out just wanting you to know about the no
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: end in sight for the cast art failed leadership of
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration at this crisis, this disaster with the
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: Biden supply chain issues. May Or Pete has come out saying, quote,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: there will be supply chain issues as long as there's
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: a pandemic. That's just the way it's going to be.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Well that's not actually true, but whatever. He's like, Hey,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: as long as there as long as there is a
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: pandemic that includes COVID problems and other countries get used
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: to it not having the things you need. He went
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: on CNBC's squat Box. The transtation secretary said, quote, Hey,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: look this is just going to persist as long as
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: this pandemic continues. Things happen around the world. I mean,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: if a shoe factory closes in Vietnam in September for
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a COVID outbreak, you're going to see the effects of
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: that at the mall in December or January. He went
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: on to say, well, look, we're seeing goods move through
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: our system and reach shelves at record levels. That's not true.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: The issue again is the demand is so high. Retail
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: sales are going really off the charts high. That's our
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: system and it's just straining to keep up. Now. Last
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: week at the White House I was with he said,
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the leadership of places like Walmart, Target Home Depot talking
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: about their commitments to making sure that inventory gets to
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the shelves. We're also talking about the key ground logistic
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: companies trying to work on that right thousand. By the way,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Trucker's short right now, and this dude wants you to
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: just accept this as Hey, lower the bar, folks, There's
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of crap you're not gonna get
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: your hands on. Lower the bar, Lower the bar. Okay,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Washington Post helping out right now Opinion article came out
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: by them that it actually reads, quote, don't rent about
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: short staff stores and supply chain wos, try to lower expectations.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: That's an actual headline from the Washington Post. Don't ran
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: about short staff stores and supply chain woes. Try to
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: lower your expectations. So, in other words, this Biden administration
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: is now actually telling the American people get over it
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: and lower your expectations. Because if you'll just do that,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: if you'll just lower your expectations, then you won't be
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: so upset. You won't be upset. Then, folks, lower your expectations.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Lower you expectations with our ambassador, Lower your expectations for Christmas,
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: lower your expectations for accountability, about you funding, getting a function,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: research and fout you lying to you. Just lower you expectations.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: If you do, then you'll like this administration. Oh and
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: by the way, we're going to move to vaccinate all
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: your kids five to eleven years old, and we're going
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: to harass them in their schools until you do what
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: we tell you to do. It's fine, Biden Harris twenty
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: twenty four. Lower your expectations. That's basically what they're telling
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you to do right now. That should be their campaign slogan.
