Summary
With the EO from Trump property can be blocked from anyone directly or indirectly involved in violating the rights of Hong Kong.
Bill Barr put Hollywood and Big Tech on notice for "collaborating" with China and being pawns of Chinese influence.
Under Trump's executive order the US could essentially seize property from US persons who collaborate and this could lead to a dramatic escalation in tensions.
Unfortunately for us though one side of the political debate screams orange man bad while Trump calls out China.
Democrats may be too weak and ineffective to deal with China and there's no guarantee Republicans would be better.

| 0:00.0 | We've had a lot going on with Hong Kong and China, and it's going to have very serious consequences for big-tech Hollywood and politics in this country. |
| 0:08.7 | Donald Trump signed an executive order just a few days ago, which puts severe restrictions on people in China |
| 0:14.9 | who may repress those in Hong Kong, but this executive order goes far and wide as broad and could potentially seize the assets of individuals deemed to be indirectly or directly involved in any kind of repression |
| 0:29.1 | of Hong Kong citizens. Right now, we are just months away from Donald Trump's potential re-election than November 2020 elections, and we're seeing in the polls that Trump isn't doing too well, Biden's doing great, he's raising tons of money, and maybe Donald Trump is scared of a defeat, but I'll tell you one place Trump would win in two seconds, and that's probably Hong Kong. |

| 0:57.8 | Here's another one. President Trump, please liberate Hong Kong. They're waving American flags. They're singing the American national anthem. |
| 1:05.6 | The people of Hong Kong are in desperate need of help because China is slowly taking over and stripping away their rights. |

| 1:18.4 | It's basically saying to these big companies, big tech, Apple, Google, and Hollywood, it's time you stop. |
| 1:24.9 | You stop playing this game with the Chinese Communist Party. Otherwise, you'll have to register as foreign agents for lobbying purposes. |
| 1:32.6 | And potentially, if we keep seeing these American big tech companies basically give Communist China whatever they want, |
