Hey guys, we're here a little bit early with you because we have a big interview

dropping tomorrow morning with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

We had a wide ranging and interesting discussion.

And one of the things that we wanted to leave you with today was this bit about how the

Top Gun movie signifies how Chinese influence is working its way into Hollywood.

Let's take a listen.

And in a very high profile case that was preceded the NBA was actually the jacket on so Top Gun,

obviously an iconic American movie that patch on the back of Tom Cruise's iconic jacket

was changed in order to not offend the Chinese audience in their sequel.

And I mean, that was largely seen as a result of Tencent Pictures, which is part of a large

Chinese media conglomerate financing that picture.

What is there to be done about it when the commanding heights of American culture seem

to be really infiltrated by Chinese capital?

So first things first, we all hope Top Gun 2 is as good as Top Gun.

And we're going to ask you, do you think we need a hot end too?

This is the debate.

It is a big central question.

So I will wait and see.

I am very hopeful to your point.

I went and spoke to the NBA board of directors.

It's not been a couple weeks back.

And I spoke to them about this.
