HANDS OF EVERY FAMILY AND TRAIN THEM HOW TO USE IT.” >> I STANDBY IT. >> THAT WILL GIVE XI A TASTE OF AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM. THE NATIONAL POLICE IN TAIWAN ANNOUNCED A ZERO GUN POLICY LAST YEAR. IS THIS A SERIOUS
POLICY PROPOSAL? AND IF IT ISN’T, WHWHY DO YOU KEEP REPEATING IT? >> IT IS A BROADER DETERRENT STRATEGY. I WILL DISAGREE WITH RON HERE. THE U.S. NEXT PRESIDENT NEEDS TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR FOR THE NEXT FORESEEABLE FUTURE, THE U.S. WILL
ABSOLUTELY DEFEND TAIWAN. AND IT IS WITH THAT CLARITY THAT WE ACTUALLY ACHIEVE DETERRENCE. BUT I HAVE A BROADER STRATEGY WITH THAT. WE NEED TO GET ON SIDE WITH OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH INDIA. INDIA HAS TO BE ABLE TO BLOCK THE SEA, WHICH IS WHERE
CHINA GETS MOST OF ITS MIDDLE EASTERN OIL SUPPLIES. THAT’S CRITICAL. I ALSO DO BELIEVE THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS A CRITICAL WAY OF PREVENTING FOREIGN AUTOCRATS FROM BEING ABLE — IT’S WORKED IN AMERICA, WHY HASN’T IT WORKED IN TAIWAN?
IT’S A BROADER STRATEGY. BUT I THINK WE NEED TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT OUR DETERRENT STRATEGY OR ELSE XI JINPING IS JUST ENCROACHING BY THE DAY. THE REASON WHY WE’RE NOT DOING IT FOR CHINA, I WANT TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR, BECAUSE WE’RE SCARED.
WHY ARE WE SCARED? BECAUSE WE DEPEND ON THEM FOR OUR MODERN WAY OF LIFE. WHY DO WE DEPEND ON THEM FOR OUR MODERN WAY OF LIFE? BECAUSE OF NIKKI HALEY’S LATEST FRIENDS LIKE LARRY FINK WHO HAVE CREATED COMINGLED
ECONOMIES. THEY CAN’T DRILL HERE. WHILE BEING A SHAREHOLDER OF PETRO CHINA. IT IS OUR DEPENDENCE ON CHINA THAT MAKES US SCARE. IF THAT WERE A RUSSIAN SPY BALLOON, WE WOULD HAVE SHOT IT DOWN IN AN INSTANCE. IF IT AS CUBA, WE
WOULD ACTUALLY BE GOING HARD ON THEM INSTEAD OF TURNING THE OTHER WAY AS WE ARE WITH CHINA. SO IT COMES BACK DOWN WITH THE ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE. WE CANNOT DEPEND ON THEM FOR THE PHARMACEUTICALS, SEMICONDUCTORS. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN LIED TO FOR A LONG TIME.
OUR OWN MILITARY, THE F-35 JETS THAT WE MAKE IN THIS COUNTRY DEPEND ON
