Today, I'm happy to be joined by Rebecca Heinrichs.

Rebecca is a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute.

She also just came in from playing in the snow.

Rebecca, thanks so much for taking the time to chat today.

It's my pleasure.

Thank you for doing this topic and having me on a chat about it.

Yeah, so I actually realized one of the reasons I wanted to talk to Rebecca in particular

is I feel like nobody in the media, the legacy media is talking about the fact that we're

staring down now like weeks at the Beijing Olympics, the Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Nobody's talking about it.

There was a lot of kerfuffle when we, as the United States said, we would do a diplomatic

boycott of the Olympics, despite the fact that a lot of people were calling for a full

boycott.

They went with a diplomatic boycott.

It starts.

I just realized those Olympic games start a month from today exactly.

Yes.

Rebecca, where do things stand?
