Biden NOW Sabotaging Inflation | The Chinese War.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey in this video we're going to be
talking about China and Taiwan in the
United States and potentially a
disastrous mistake that I believe our
Administration is making by allowing
something to happen that in my opinion
it's just really bad timing and bad form
and that specifically based on the
following chart this chart right here
suggests that there are three scenarios
for inflation in 2023 and they are
heavily heavily heavily impacted uh and
I'm falling off the screen there by
China take a look at these scenarios
here if China has a strong reopening and
all of a sudden 1.4 million more Chinese
start traveling and we see a lot more of
that sort of an estimate right now and
we get a lot more Chinese activity in
the market we could actually prop up
inflation substantially inflation could
stay between five and six percent in the
United States that's a problem because
that means more aggressive fed for
longer more pain you get a disorderly
coveted zero uh uh you know like a
disaster where they keep going on
lockdowns they keep things held down you
could actually bring inflation down to
two percent in America or you stay at
the Baseline we're around three and a
half percent so I've said this before
but I believe that China will be an
anchor for inflation for the world and
for America the longer they stay locked
down ironically the more inflation comes
down faster
but I'll tell you if China reopens
strongly and inflation pops up and China
gets pissed because of what you're about
to hear in this video here and we're not
focusing on the things that could
actually drive inflation down we in my
opinion are making a massive political
mistake that could have massive Economic
Consequences and you're going to
understand a lot more about this when
you combine this inflation chart that I
just showed you and this sale that is
about to take place
led by of course the Biden
Administration now look I'm no
politician but I feel like I know
negotiating and I'll tell you I think it
is a bad time at a time when China is
going to be pivotal to our economic
success or failure in 2023
at a time when China is literally coming
out of some of the worst protests
they've had since Tiananmen Square as
the country is now calling for the
resignation of Xi Jinping in frustration
over coveted lockdowns at a time where
China's economy is probably in recession
even though the official numbers don't
say they are and at a time where
lockdowns are so bad that countries
horrible not just countries countries
are upset in China but companies are
fleeing China iPads are now going to get
made in or assembled in India iPhones
might get assembled in Vietnam where
more than 80 percent of them were
assembled by Foxconn China before that
folks this is probably the worst time
in my opinion
to be flashing in front of the Chinese
that we are now selling 100 Lockheed
Martin Patriot missiles to Taiwan
now in case you don't know Patriot
missiles were designed back in the 1980s
to shoot down enemy airplanes
today they are used to shoot down enemy
airplanes but also to shoot down
ballistic missiles and even the longer
range intercontinental ballistic
missiles these are those big missiles
that you see that ballistic ones are the
big missiles you see like North Korea
Iran and China kind of scoot around on
those large trucks and they stand next
to them and they have those giant
missiles on the big trucks well those
are slower moving missiles that can go
very very far they can destroy things
with pretty good Precision uh and they
don't have to be nuclear although they
can be they can destroy things like
aircraft carriers airports weapons
Depots they can cause a lot of freaking
damage and they can travel at different
heights in order to counter-attack those
we use what are known as Patriot
missiles they drive around on trucks as
well and you kind of set them up in
their own little Depots they come with
five main parts you've got the missile
you've got the launcher which which also
happens to transport and game you know
the missile and holds the missile you've
got a radar antenna you've got an
equipment truck that's kind of where the
the staff goes into and aims the darn
thing uh it or locks it on that is and
the power plant the Patriot missile
doesn't have to actually be fired
directly at an incoming enemy missile
and that makes it great and versatile
for deploying very quickly it sort of
adjusts as it travels but this thing can
be locked onto ballistic missiles at a
50 mile range you can't even see that
far and what's really incredible as
these Patriot missiles are fast they fly
high and they could be twice as fast as
ballistic missiles these are really
really powerful missiles and now we are
selling 100 of them to Taiwan for wall
Lockheed Martin is for 882 million
dollars so these weapon systems will
come with software upgrades uh system
upgrades for existing missiles upgrading
everything to the pac-3 system
apparently these are these are the most
advanced missiles these are what we in
America use for surface-to-air missile
defense Surface Two uh aircraft defense
whatever and this all happens is
happening based on a 2010 arms deal that
we agreed with for arms sales with
Taiwan so that Taiwan could defend
itself against China now look things
relaxed after Biden met with Xi Jinping
just a few weeks ago and Biden said look
there's no imminent Invasion China's not
imminently invading Taiwan even though
tensions got pretty high there for a
moment because of some of the things
that Beijing said uh but but look I
think the last thing we ought to do is
strengthen these tensions at this this
point when I think what's more important
is we focus on uh well a trade we should
be focusing on trade and economies now
don't get me wrong I understand the
Taiwanese are looking to express their
sovereignty but at a time where there's
no imminent sign of invasion it seems a
little insensitive while China is down
to be negotiating the sale and
publicizing it now
just my take but here's what else is
happening in the face of China in the
face of China Taiwan is currently trying
to negotiate a trade agreement with the
United States and hopes to sign a Free
Trade Agreement by November 2023. now
the likes of that potentially happening
maybe aren't that great given that we've
got a split Congress whether or not
whatever happens in Georgia tomorrow
ends up in the favor of Democrats or
Republicans doesn't really matter Donald
Trump pulled us out of the trans-pacific
partnership in 2016 said instead we
would introduce bilateral trade
agreements and guess what kind of trade
agreement we got with Taiwan well we
really didn't instead Taiwan taxes our
Imports at a five percent value-added
tax and then of course there's a trade
fee of a few basis points on top of that
there are luxury alcohol poor Duty and
other taxes that can be as high as 10 on
top of that things we import from Taiwan
like semiconductors could receive a 6.34
uh Baseline tax and really the the
problem here is is that Well everybody's
trying to focus on getting inflation
down
and economies propped up and China's in
a really weak place I a little bit feel
like this arms deal is a middle finger
to China now I think we could probably
cause more damage and I'm not an expert
on this okay I I understand there are
reasons for uh you know military
protection although the United States
can kind of uh provide that without
necessarily selling it right but I think
my personal opinion right now the focus
of our presidential Administration
should be how can we work with China and
Taiwan to relax trade tensions so that
way we can reduce inflation taxes create
a deadweight loss on the economy taxes
right now appear to be a higher issue
and inflation appears to be a higher
issue to the lives of ordinary Chinese
Taiwanese and Americans and people
around the world then quite frankly
intercontinental ballistic missiles then
again of course we've got Rocket Man
over in North Korea going a little blue
launching the most missiles he's ever
launched in a single year to date thus
far which is not great but the reality
here is personally I'm not the biggest
fan of hearing about 800 almost a
billion dollars of missiles being sold
to Taiwan but I think there are other
things we should be focused on right now
just my take again I'm not a politician
but a little bit frustrated by this let
me know what you think in the comments
