0:00:00.030,0:00:05.370
Brad Johnson it is Friday August 30th

0:00:03.120,0:00:07.890
there is a great deal going on with

0:00:05.370,0:00:10.320
China it’s probably unwise to ignore it

0:00:07.890,0:00:13.530
the stuff which most people are seeing

0:00:10.320,0:00:16.230
are the protests in Hong Kong and of

0:00:13.530,0:00:17.940
course the experts are on all sides of

0:00:16.230,0:00:19.680
that one some people are saying China’s

0:00:17.940,0:00:21.090
folded some people are saying they’re

0:00:19.680,0:00:25.619
invading Hong Kong and they’re gonna use

0:00:21.090,0:00:27.990
this as a an excuse to put an iron boot

0:00:25.619,0:00:29.099
down onto that island but I’m sure

0:00:27.990,0:00:31.890
there’s a lot of other things there’s

0:00:29.099,0:00:34.710
Huawei and I have deep suspicions about

0:00:31.890,0:00:37.920
China’s keen interest in helping other

0:00:34.710,0:00:40.520
countries by installing their own large

0:00:37.920,0:00:42.660
bandwidth and high-speed Internet

0:00:40.520,0:00:44.190
switches all over their countries

0:00:42.660,0:00:46.140
I think there’s I think that China

0:00:44.190,0:00:47.450
should be sequestered but what what

0:00:46.140,0:00:50.820
could what can you tell us

0:00:47.450,0:00:53.010
well yeah China’s really it’s a very

0:00:50.820,0:00:56.670
interesting situation now and of course

0:00:53.010,0:00:59.340
this was all sparked back when when when

0:00:56.670,0:01:02.280
President Trump came out and and you

0:00:59.340,0:01:05.189
really got a look at this guy and he

0:01:02.280,0:01:07.799
just he truly is a master negotiator and

0:01:05.189,0:01:10.460
he’s way better at this than anyone that

0:01:07.799,0:01:13.680
we’ve had in the US government for

0:01:10.460,0:01:15.810
certainly decades they basically all his

0:01:13.680,0:01:18.720
predecessors just didn’t negotiate

0:01:15.810,0:01:21.090
things really and he does he very

0:01:18.720,0:01:23.880
seriously negotiates he’s saying so with

0:01:21.090,0:01:25.439
China as we all know and things we’ve

0:01:23.880,0:01:26.780
talked about China’s been stealing

0:01:25.439,0:01:28.920
millions

0:01:26.780,0:01:31.770
excuse me billions and billions of

0:01:28.920,0:01:33.689
dollars from the West the United States

0:01:31.770,0:01:36.560
all of us by the way that they imposed

0:01:33.689,0:01:39.030
their trade deals and so on and stealing

0:01:36.560,0:01:40.979
you know patent rights and things like

0:01:39.030,0:01:42.570
that into China so that you know if you

0:01:40.979,0:01:44.640
want to sell your product in China you

0:01:42.570,0:01:48.030
have to give us all of the all of your

0:01:44.640,0:01:50.460
you know patent secrets and all of that

0:01:48.030,0:01:52.110
and then they copy it and use it and

0:01:50.460,0:01:54.899
sell it out in variations to other

0:01:52.110,0:01:56.189
companies and so President Trump took a

0:01:54.899,0:01:57.810
look at all of this of course knew for

0:01:56.189,0:02:00.540
years that this was a problem so he went

0:01:57.810,0:02:02.310
to China and said if you look back at

0:02:00.540,0:02:04.200
how he spoke it was very interesting now

0:02:02.310,0:02:06.360
in hindsight you can kind of see what

0:02:04.200,0:02:08.099
was going on and he said oh you know the

0:02:06.360,0:02:10.619
president of China’s this great guy

0:02:08.099,0:02:12.569
really smart got a tough job and all

0:02:10.619,0:02:14.340
this stuff but he’s been stealing

0:02:12.569,0:02:16.829
China’s been stealing us blind for all

0:02:14.340,0:02:19.260
these years stealing billions of dollars

0:02:16.829,0:02:21.390
worth of intellectual property rights

0:02:19.260,0:02:22.980
and and different things where they’ve

0:02:21.390,0:02:26.459
been absolutely screwing us over now

0:02:22.980,0:02:28.140
I don’t blame China you know we had our

0:02:26.459,0:02:29.489
pocket open and let them stick their

0:02:28.140,0:02:31.739
hand in and pull out whatever they could

0:02:29.489,0:02:32.220
grab for all these years those days are

0:02:31.739,0:02:34.019
over

0:02:32.220,0:02:35.609
you know but don’t blame China but those

0:02:34.019,0:02:38.489
days are over you’re either gonna make

0:02:35.609,0:02:40.079
an honest deal with us or you know then

0:02:38.489,0:02:42.900
we got problems and we’re gonna have to

0:02:40.079,0:02:44.639
to see what see what to do so then you

0:02:42.900,0:02:47.310
start going down the steps that that

0:02:44.639,0:02:49.500
Trump has slowly done to kind of put the

0:02:47.310,0:02:51.090
screws to China in and make it more and

0:02:49.500,0:02:54.569
more difficult for man and one of the

0:02:51.090,0:02:57.540
things that all of our friends in Canada

0:02:54.569,0:02:59.489
that happened was the I believe she was

0:02:57.540,0:03:01.709
the CFO the chief financial officer the

0:02:59.489,0:03:05.280
number two at the office of Huawei in

0:03:01.709,0:03:06.780
Canada whose dad was a very big wig in

0:03:05.280,0:03:10.470
back in China connected to the

0:03:06.780,0:03:12.419
government and she got indicted so from

0:03:10.470,0:03:13.859
in the United States and so we’re asking

0:03:12.419,0:03:15.840
for extradition that case is still

0:03:13.859,0:03:18.959
dragging on I believe she’s under house

0:03:15.840,0:03:20.250
arrest and Canada and it’s still playing

0:03:18.959,0:03:22.949
out in the court system well that was

0:03:20.250,0:03:25.859
sort of the opening shot across the bow

0:03:22.949,0:03:27.900
and since then we’ve gone through

0:03:25.859,0:03:29.459
various rounds of negotiation the next

0:03:27.900,0:03:32.069
big thing that sort of happened was

0:03:29.459,0:03:33.599
China said yeah okay we papered out a

0:03:32.069,0:03:35.790
deal we’ve got something here that we

0:03:33.599,0:03:37.290
can they will agree to so they sat down

0:03:35.790,0:03:38.940
at the table with the United States and

0:03:37.290,0:03:40.049
they started screaming and waving their

0:03:38.940,0:03:41.340
arms going no we’re not going to sign

0:03:40.049,0:03:42.959
yeah well you know what we’re really

0:03:41.340,0:03:44.760
gonna sign is only this this and this

0:03:42.959,0:03:46.829
these were the changes and you know what

0:03:44.760,0:03:47.669
you don’t like it screw you then we’re

0:03:46.829,0:03:50.040
gonna go do this

0:03:47.669,0:03:52.590
and so President Trump you know I think

0:03:50.040,0:03:54.810
just surprised the living hell out of

0:03:52.590,0:03:57.269
the Chinese and he said yeah okay you

0:03:54.810,0:03:59.129
give it your best shot and he started

0:03:57.269,0:04:01.859
imposing tariffs and you and we’ve all

0:03:59.129,0:04:05.310
heard you know 5% 10% and now we’re

0:04:01.859,0:04:07.979
going to the 20% but behind all of this

0:04:05.310,0:04:10.379
there’s a lot of other stuff going on

0:04:07.979,0:04:13.439
and China is doing absolutely everything

0:04:10.379,0:04:15.930
it can to make Trump look bad and to

0:04:13.439,0:04:18.109
pressure him and don’t anyone forget

0:04:15.930,0:04:21.419
that all of this stuff Iran is doing

0:04:18.109,0:04:23.070
capturing ships and you know making

0:04:21.419,0:04:25.229
trouble here and there in the world all

0:04:23.070,0:04:26.010
of that stuff they’re essentially a

0:04:25.229,0:04:27.600
surrogate of

0:04:26.010,0:04:30.420
China they’re backed by China for a lot

0:04:27.600,0:04:32.430
of these things so this acting up would

0:04:30.420,0:04:35.490
not be happening if the Chinese weren’t

0:04:32.430,0:04:37.110
saying yeah go do it guys so that’s why

0:04:35.490,0:04:39.090
we’re seeing all of that to try and make

0:04:37.110,0:04:41.580
Trump look bad and everything they’re

0:04:39.090,0:04:43.650
doing is each time this is these are

0:04:41.580,0:04:46.320
sort of the old tricks of the socialist

0:04:43.650,0:04:48.150
world to try and make put pressure on

0:04:46.320,0:04:50.730
Trump but Trump’s a negotiator it

0:04:48.150,0:04:53.220
doesn’t work with him and Trump has them

0:04:50.730,0:04:54.420
totally figured out and they really just

0:04:53.220,0:04:57.780
do not have a clue

0:04:54.420,0:05:00.030
and so I think Hong Kong is a reflection

0:04:57.780,0:05:02.760
of that to now make no mistake about who

0:05:00.030,0:05:04.530
the Chinese are and and just a little

0:05:02.760,0:05:05.880
side comment something I never hear

0:05:04.530,0:05:09.390
anybody ever talk about

0:05:05.880,0:05:11.700
and the flag of China mmm

0:05:09.390,0:05:13.860
that that everybody sees is that red

0:05:11.700,0:05:15.750
flag and in the upper left quadrant are

0:05:13.860,0:05:18.480
the five stars one big star and four

0:05:15.750,0:05:21.960
little stars five stars that is actually

0:05:18.480,0:05:24.420
not the flag of China that is actually

0:05:21.960,0:05:27.510
the flag of the Communist Party of China

0:05:24.420,0:05:29.580
a big difference but that’s not the flag

0:05:27.510,0:05:32.300
that flag was never used by anybody it

0:05:29.580,0:05:35.220
was created and passed by one of the

0:05:32.300,0:05:37.230
Communist Party meetings they installed

0:05:35.220,0:05:38.970
it to be the flag of that they’re using

0:05:37.230,0:05:41.250
for China but it’s the flag of the

0:05:38.970,0:05:43.380
Communist Party of China I mean that’s

0:05:41.250,0:05:44.790
just how they view everything so all of

0:05:43.380,0:05:46.380
the government buildings everything that

0:05:44.790,0:05:49.680
they use out there those are all flying

0:05:46.380,0:05:53.630
under the flag of the party not China

0:05:49.680,0:05:56.640
and that’s that’s their perspective and

0:05:53.630,0:05:59.130
which by the way that’s not new or

0:05:56.640,0:06:04.050
anything on the hard left governments

0:05:59.130,0:06:06.060
often do that for example the Soviet

0:06:04.050,0:06:07.620
Union they had that red flag with the

0:06:06.060,0:06:09.780
hammer and sickle that was the Communist

0:06:07.620,0:06:11.520
Party flag the red flag with the

0:06:09.780,0:06:13.650
swastika in the middle the Nazis used

0:06:11.520,0:06:15.060
that was the Nazi Party flag not the

0:06:13.650,0:06:17.130
German flag

0:06:15.060,0:06:18.570
the Sandinistas have done that you know

0:06:17.130,0:06:20.760
back in the days of the Central American

0:06:18.570,0:06:23.100
conflict they put the Sandinista flag

0:06:20.760,0:06:24.000
over all the buildings too they also did

0:06:23.100,0:06:25.920
something a little different because

0:06:24.000,0:06:27.660
they would fly both they would fly the

0:06:25.920,0:06:29.880
party flag in the country flag which

0:06:27.660,0:06:31.770
that you don’t see necessarily outside

0:06:29.880,0:06:33.630
of these examples but it’s the

0:06:31.770,0:06:36.780
perspective of how they viewed the world

0:06:33.630,0:06:39.420
and so go forward back into discussing

0:06:36.780,0:06:40.440
Hong Kong and that’s precisely

0:06:39.420,0:06:43.020
how they view Hong Kong Hong Kong

0:06:40.440,0:06:45.240
belongs to the party everyone and

0:06:43.020,0:06:47.400
everything belongs to the party

0:06:45.240,0:06:49.650
I’ve lived in socialist countries before

0:06:47.400,0:06:51.240
and and talk to people and understand

0:06:49.650,0:06:53.940
their view their view is quite different

0:06:51.240,0:06:55.740
than anyone of us in the West would I

0:06:53.940,0:06:58.590
mean I look at some of the stuff they

0:06:55.740,0:07:00.750
say I go my god is so stupid how could

0:06:58.590,0:07:02.730
you possibly think that but they do and

0:07:00.750,0:07:06.870
one of those things is they actually

0:07:02.730,0:07:10.110
view themselves as property of the party

0:07:06.870,0:07:13.200
so if the party calls you and demands

0:07:10.110,0:07:14.940
your life it is your duty to give it so

0:07:13.200,0:07:17.460
if it means just stand up in front of a

0:07:14.940,0:07:18.840
post and get shot well if the party

0:07:17.460,0:07:21.180
needs it the party needs it that’s your

0:07:18.840,0:07:23.370
that’s your job so this this whole

0:07:21.180,0:07:25.740
perspective that they have as communists

0:07:23.370,0:07:28.050
is is that and Hong Kong

0:07:25.740,0:07:30.480
they’ve always intended there was never

0:07:28.050,0:07:33.900
a time when they didn’t intend to fully

0:07:30.480,0:07:35.100
conquer Hong Kong now they made a deal

0:07:33.900,0:07:37.110
and they’ve been doing it from

0:07:35.100,0:07:39.180
incrementally this is not the first time

0:07:37.110,0:07:41.280
we’ve had riots in Hong Kong when they

0:07:39.180,0:07:43.020
took over the police and started taking

0:07:41.280,0:07:45.480
over government agencies that was just

0:07:43.020,0:07:47.100
the steps that they were doing all along

0:07:45.480,0:07:48.660
knowing that the ultimate goal was to

0:07:47.100,0:07:50.760
take over Hong Kong completely and just

0:07:48.660,0:07:52.470
as as you mentioned put it under the

0:07:50.760,0:07:55.170
Bootheel of the Communist Party of China

0:07:52.470,0:07:56.730
which I don’t I mean there is no

0:07:55.170,0:07:58.620
discussion there’s nothing to debate

0:07:56.730,0:08:00.270
that has always been the intent and

0:07:58.620,0:08:02.550
they’ve always been working towards that

0:08:00.270,0:08:04.680
incrementally now I think they took a

0:08:02.550,0:08:07.200
look at this and they said what a

0:08:04.680,0:08:09.930
perfect time to really ruffle this

0:08:07.200,0:08:12.240
feathers over this will will crack down

0:08:09.930,0:08:14.190
on hong kong to put pressure on trump

0:08:12.240,0:08:16.620
and we get what we want anyway so it’s a

0:08:14.190,0:08:18.060
twofer you know all upside now that

0:08:16.620,0:08:19.800
hasn’t worked either and trump has

0:08:18.060,0:08:21.900
basically been able to start to turn

0:08:19.800,0:08:23.040
this back against him and so what are

0:08:21.900,0:08:25.590
some of the things you’re starting to

0:08:23.040,0:08:27.270
see him do he’s it and by the way let’s

0:08:25.590,0:08:29.400
not forget the South China Sea where we

0:08:27.270,0:08:30.480
just had an incident where a US Navy

0:08:29.400,0:08:32.790
vessel was cruising through

0:08:30.480,0:08:35.100
international waters and was challenged

0:08:32.790,0:08:37.170
by a Chinese Navy ship who claimed it

0:08:35.100,0:08:39.000
was territorial waters so they’re

0:08:37.170,0:08:40.860
they’re very aggressively trying to

0:08:39.000,0:08:42.960
expand out and create problems and

0:08:40.860,0:08:44.970
looking for a way to make Trump look bad

0:08:42.960,0:08:46.530
because the last thing they want is

0:08:44.970,0:08:48.990
another four years of President Trump

0:08:46.530,0:08:51.030
but elections aren’t till November 2020

0:08:48.990,0:08:52.950
so they’ve they’ve got a long time to go

0:08:51.030,0:08:55.620
through this negotiation period so

0:08:52.950,0:08:58.889
it can be varied I believe that the

0:08:55.620,0:09:01.470
United States has committed to the

0:08:58.889,0:09:03.269
Philippines that they would assist to

0:09:01.470,0:09:05.339
start a and protecting his territorial

0:09:03.269,0:09:09.990
waters from what looks like routine

0:09:05.339,0:09:14.130
Chinese invasions yes and something that

0:09:09.990,0:09:17.160
is is key is Taiwan now we the United

0:09:14.130,0:09:19.500
States has agreed to some sixty six was

0:09:17.160,0:09:22.889
I believe the number of new f-16s to be

0:09:19.500,0:09:25.260
delivered to Taiwan now that is that’s a

0:09:22.889,0:09:27.750
big deal in a number of ways now they’ve

0:09:25.260,0:09:32.010
or they already had f-16s but they were

0:09:27.750,0:09:35.370
an aging type the the equipment that was

0:09:32.010,0:09:38.250
in the older f-16s is greatly inferior

0:09:35.370,0:09:41.310
to that of the new f-16s the basic

0:09:38.250,0:09:43.290
airframe is mostly the same if I

0:09:41.310,0:09:45.600
understand correctly but the equipment

0:09:43.290,0:09:47.779
that’s in it is weapons and detections

0:09:45.600,0:09:51.570
and all the systems that are in that

0:09:47.779,0:09:53.850
aircraft are vastly improved so the new

0:09:51.570,0:09:57.000
f-16 is a much much more effective

0:09:53.850,0:10:00.720
aircraft than the old f-16 now it’s not

0:09:57.000,0:10:03.480
like a generational leap forward but it

0:10:00.720,0:10:05.699
is a substantial increase so this is not

0:10:03.480,0:10:07.110
taking place in a vacuum that wasn’t

0:10:05.699,0:10:09.149
just some separate deal that just

0:10:07.110,0:10:12.089
happened to work out that way

0:10:09.149,0:10:14.490
trumpet said okay 20% tariffs the

0:10:12.089,0:10:17.660
Chinese economy is shrinking it’s

0:10:14.490,0:10:20.430
literally shrinking gov

0:10:17.660,0:10:22.350
manufacturing jobs are flooding out of

0:10:20.430,0:10:23.730
China to go to other places where they

0:10:22.350,0:10:25.800
can also do business there’s lots of

0:10:23.730,0:10:27.390
places where those guys can set up and

0:10:25.800,0:10:29.310
do things and have a cheap labor force

0:10:27.390,0:10:30.350
and all of that to do business and sell

0:10:29.310,0:10:32.940
products back to the United States

0:10:30.350,0:10:34.170
without a 20% tariff so they’re running

0:10:32.940,0:10:37.440
away as quickly as they can

0:10:34.170,0:10:39.569
China is bleeding they’re bleeding out

0:10:37.440,0:10:41.850
and they’ve got to stop that bleeding

0:10:39.569,0:10:44.459
and so Trump is continuing to put the

0:10:41.850,0:10:46.949
screws to them and this f-16 sale was

0:10:44.459,0:10:49.889
kind of the last really big thing which

0:10:46.949,0:10:52.980
by the way mr. president if you’re

0:10:49.889,0:10:54.899
listening yeah do the f-16s fantastic

0:10:52.980,0:10:57.480
good job I’m an admirer

0:10:54.899,0:11:00.560
I say consider the f-35

0:10:57.480,0:11:03.990
which is the advanced fighter aircraft

0:11:00.560,0:11:05.459
Taiwan has been our friend since World

0:11:03.990,0:11:06.630
War two including the world war ii

0:11:05.459,0:11:08.040
fighting with us

0:11:06.630,0:11:09.839
and they’ve been a good ally of the

0:11:08.040,0:11:11.730
United States for all of this time since

0:11:09.839,0:11:14.579
World War two including World War two

0:11:11.730,0:11:16.769
time and Matt should not be forgotten

0:11:14.579,0:11:19.529
and I don’t think they should get banded

0:11:16.769,0:11:21.630
and there is no question zero question

0:11:19.529,0:11:23.730
nobody should be debating this and

0:11:21.630,0:11:26.610
anyone that thinks it’s otherwise really

0:11:23.730,0:11:28.860
a fool and that is China fully intends

0:11:26.610,0:11:31.079
to reconquer Taiwan well they’ll do it

0:11:28.860,0:11:32.699
when they can how they can but they’re

0:11:31.079,0:11:33.959
working to do it incrementally all the

0:11:32.699,0:11:36.750
time now and they’ve made a lot of

0:11:33.959,0:11:38.279
progress infiltrating the political

0:11:36.750,0:11:40.199
parties and all of that and they have

0:11:38.279,0:11:42.870
certain political influence in Taiwan

0:11:40.199,0:11:45.509
already but those guys need to be able

0:11:42.870,0:11:48.750
to defend themselves and you know if we

0:11:45.509,0:11:50.730
can supply f-35s to them wouldn’t that

0:11:48.750,0:11:52.440
be a great stick to poke the Chinese in

0:11:50.730,0:11:54.240
the eye with and what are they gonna do

0:11:52.440,0:11:55.860
now I mean what are they gonna do there

0:11:54.240,0:11:58.079
like I said economically they’re

0:11:55.860,0:12:00.540
bleeding out and the 20% tariffs are

0:11:58.079,0:12:01.920
gonna be imposed soon so start you know

0:12:00.540,0:12:03.509
you can push back you have to push back

0:12:01.920,0:12:05.339
at every level with the Chinese because

0:12:03.509,0:12:07.949
that’s how they view it they view the

0:12:05.339,0:12:09.660
whole thing is one big wide negotiation

0:12:07.949,0:12:11.670
they don’t understand President Trump

0:12:09.660,0:12:13.170
they don’t understand that he’s a hard

0:12:11.670,0:12:15.360
negotiator they haven’t figured all that

0:12:13.170,0:12:16.920
out yet and now they’re coming back kind

0:12:15.360,0:12:19.339
of softly their latest thing was a

0:12:16.920,0:12:22.680
couple of days ago at the at the

0:12:19.339,0:12:26.730
economic summit in where was it Brussels

0:12:22.680,0:12:29.220
I forget the g20 7 or 7 or 8 or whatever

0:12:26.730,0:12:31.709
g8 whatever it is it just they just add

0:12:29.220,0:12:33.480
the economic summit the Chinese came out

0:12:31.709,0:12:36.689
there we’re saying well you know we need

0:12:33.480,0:12:37.980
calm discussion and all of that what

0:12:36.689,0:12:39.899
does that mean for the Chinese that

0:12:37.980,0:12:41.310
doesn’t mean capitulation they’re not

0:12:39.899,0:12:42.720
ready they haven’t figured out that

0:12:41.310,0:12:45.930
they’re getting their ass handed to them

0:12:42.720,0:12:47.790
but they will and as these as these

0:12:45.930,0:12:50.670
greater tariffs start to kick in as

0:12:47.790,0:12:52.500
we’re starting to sell arms to Taiwan as

0:12:50.670,0:12:54.779
we’re starting to push back with the

0:12:52.500,0:12:57.300
Philippines push back on all the South

0:12:54.779,0:13:00.329
China Sea things and destroying them

0:12:57.300,0:13:02.370
economically they’re gonna they’re going

0:13:00.329,0:13:04.649
to at some point have to look at it and

0:13:02.370,0:13:06.660
say we have to stop the bleeding my

0:13:04.649,0:13:09.149
question out of that is will this take

0:13:06.660,0:13:12.029
place before elections are the Chinese

0:13:09.149,0:13:15.540
gonna bet and hang on and keep fighting

0:13:12.029,0:13:17.100
through November of next year or will

0:13:15.540,0:13:19.319
they capitulate some night sometime

0:13:17.100,0:13:19.769
before then now if they continue to

0:13:19.319,0:13:21.329
bleed

0:13:19.769,0:13:23.459
economically at the pace they are

0:13:21.329,0:13:25.709
they’re not gonna make it till November

0:13:23.459,0:13:27.420
their economy would be you know

0:13:25.709,0:13:30.089
something along half or a third of what

0:13:27.420,0:13:32.999
it is at its high you know say a year

0:13:30.089,0:13:35.550
ago so I mean that’s devastating I mean

0:13:32.999,0:13:37.439
can you imagine the economy of Canada or

0:13:35.550,0:13:39.540
the United States or any of the Western

0:13:37.439,0:13:41.100
countries being cut in half and a say a

0:13:39.540,0:13:44.610
two-year period I mean it would just be

0:13:41.100,0:13:45.959
well we I mean it’s inconceivable but

0:13:44.610,0:13:47.819
we’d have to have a prime minister that

0:13:45.959,0:13:49.799
deliberately undermined the oil industry

0:13:47.819,0:13:52.369
in Alberta and prevented them from

0:13:49.799,0:13:54.959
actually producing or exporting goods

0:13:52.369,0:13:57.179
prevented to any kind of pipelines to

0:13:54.959,0:13:59.639
allow the transmission of domestically

0:13:57.179,0:14:03.029
produced oil to going to a per domestic

0:13:59.639,0:14:04.889
consumption and bringing in huge numbers

0:14:03.029,0:14:07.049
of people that don’t contribute to the

0:14:04.889,0:14:08.429
economy but have great needs so it’s

0:14:07.049,0:14:12.239
difficult for me to conceive in the

0:14:08.429,0:14:14.339
situation like that yeah I think

0:14:12.239,0:14:17.069
somebody should take his eyebrows

0:14:14.339,0:14:19.230
hostage until he agrees to open business

0:14:17.069,0:14:20.879
for oil and all of that in Canada a

0:14:19.230,0:14:22.439
great industry can make a lot of money

0:14:20.879,0:14:24.990
and it drives the economy and why

0:14:22.439,0:14:26.699
someone you know they just they’re their

0:14:24.990,0:14:29.670
political concerns are more important to

0:14:26.699,0:14:30.809
them than the people of Canada and you

0:14:29.670,0:14:32.339
know we’ve had that problem in the

0:14:30.809,0:14:35.069
United States and certainly the problem

0:14:32.339,0:14:37.670
exists in much of Western Europe so yeah

0:14:35.069,0:14:37.670
it’s a problem

0:14:43.660,0:14:45.720
