| 0:00.0 | On a Fox interview, a news interview at a summit, Russian accident, Vladimir Putin, President |
| 0:04.8 | Vladimir Putin, C's 5, told him he would not move on Taiwan as long as Trump remained in office. |
| 0:12.3 | Trump argued that world leaders, including Xi, would not attempt. Is this the one rap? |
| 0:16.4 | Yes, sir. Go for it. You know, you have a very similar thing with President Xi of China and Taiwan, but I don't believe |
| 0:23.9 | there's any way it's going to happen as long as I'm here. |
| 0:26.7 | We'll see. |
| 0:27.7 | He told me I will never do it as long as you're president. |
| 0:32.4 | That's President Xi told me that, and I said, well, I appreciate that. But he also said, but I am very patient. |
| 0:41.9 | And China is very patient. Say, well, that's up to you. But it better not happen now. |
| 0:49.6 | Okay. Adam, thoughts on this? Well, deterrence is a hell of a viable option. |
| 0:56.5 | You mentioned earlier, you don't think China's looking at exactly what's happening going on with the EU leaders in Ukraine. |
| 1:02.7 | If we let Russia invade Ukraine, what kind of signal would that deploy into China's mentality? |
| 1:09.9 | Do you think that if we didn't do anything, if we didn't fund Ukraine, if we didn't basically help our allies, whether it's Israel, whether it's Ukraine, whether it's whatever allies around the world, whether it's NATO, you don't think that's a telltale sign to China? All right, now's the time. So things are heating up under Biden. How much do we hear about Taiwan under Biden? We don't really hear much |
| 1:27.8 | about Taiwan under Trump right now. Here's a perfect reason why, because Trump is basically like, |
| 1:32.2 | eh, eh, not on my watch. Yeah. Again, these are more things that when you see, you think about |
| 1:38.2 | and say, this is why they're watching it. But guess what he just said? If what the president is saying is true, |
| 1:45.6 | and he's not adding 20% of what he calls. Hyperbole, which he probably is. Which he probably is. |
| 1:51.2 | If he says, I mean, that's a campaign for the third term. Somebody can listen to that and say that's |
| 1:58.9 | a third term type of a campaign, which there's a lot of Americans that wouldn't mind having a third term with them. |
| 2:03.2 | Constitution doesn't allow, but a lot of people wouldn't mind having them for third term. |
| 2:06.6 | But if he says that, and it's true, and China's patient, that means eventually they're going to go there. |
