When it comes to legal immigration, it's a broken system.
00:00:03.520
It shouldn't take someone 10 years to become a citizen.
00:00:12.240
So for too long, Republican and Democrat presidents dealt with immigration based on a quota.
00:00:25.800
We need to go to our industries and say, what do you need that you don't have?
00:00:30.440
So think agriculture, think tourism, think tech.
00:00:34.040
We want the talent that's going to make us better.
00:00:37.180
Then you bring people in that can fill those needs.
00:00:50.140
The world needs China and the United States to work together for a better future.
00:00:59.060
We, the largest developing country, that is China, and the largest developed country, the United States,
00:01:12.100
In a world of changes and chaos, it is ever more important for us to have the mind, assume the vision,
00:01:22.840
shoulder the responsibility, and play the role that come along with our status as major countries.
00:01:32.940
China is ready to be a partner and friend of the United States.
00:01:38.220
The fundamental principles that we follow in handling China-U.S. relations are mutual respect,
00:01:55.620
Just as mutual respect is a basic code of behavior for individuals,
00:02:02.940
When I get into office, the first thing we have to do, social media accounts, social media companies,
00:02:11.080
Let us see why they're pushing what they're pushing.
00:02:13.440
The second thing is every person on social media should be verified by their name.
00:02:19.260
That's, first of all, it's a national security threat.
00:02:21.600
When you do that, all of a sudden people have to stand by what they say,
00:02:25.400
and it gets rid of the Russian bots, the Iranian bots, and the Chinese bots.
00:02:29.160
And then you're going to get some civility when people know their name is next to what they say.
00:02:34.980
And they know their pastor and their family members are going to see it.
00:02:37.700
It's going to help our kids, and it's going to help our country.
00:02:44.760
China will never pursue hegemony or expansion and will never impose its will on others.
00:02:50.620
China does not seek spheres of influence and will not fight a cold war or a hot war with anyone.
00:02:56.300
China will remain committed to dialogue and oppose confrontation
00:03:05.100
It will continue to pursue a mutually beneficial strategy of opening up.
00:03:09.480
The modernization we are pursuing is not for China alone.
00:03:13.660
We are ready to work with all countries to advance global modernization,
00:03:17.200
featuring peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common prosperity,
00:03:21.780
and to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
00:04:03.940
And Admiral, considering how bad relations have gotten,
00:04:07.240
considering the fact we could not get Chinese military leaders on the phone,
00:04:14.740
and I will say, the fear of a regional war in the Mideast,
00:04:37.500
and she sort of has echoed what a lot of foreign policy people have said
00:04:43.240
turning our backs on each other is not an option.
00:04:50.000
I want the leaders of the two most powerful nations
00:04:56.260
whose military have not been in communication over the last year or so,
00:05:05.660
But at least we're at the starting point of rebuilding this relationship.
00:05:10.900
And, you know, so much of life, Joe, is compared to what?
00:05:17.860
when visits of cabinet officials were being canceled,
00:05:22.120
when spy balloons were circling the United States,
00:05:26.420
when ships and planes were bumping in the night,
00:05:39.680
What really ought to worry us is the idea of a miscalculation,
00:05:46.460
either around Taiwan or in the South China Sea,
00:05:50.860
which China claims in its entirety as a territorial body of water.
00:05:55.660
So you worry not so much about Tony Blinken and Lloyd Austin
00:06:03.380
You worry about Goose and Maverick flying around in those jets up there.
00:06:09.620
I think too much has been made of the dictator comment,
00:06:15.900
is like saying that Jim Stavridis is a short guy.
00:06:31.380
Yeah, maybe I have picked up a few things along the road of life,
00:06:37.360
And so at the end of it all, I think I'm with Richard Haas.
00:06:51.920
I think there's a little bit of chemistry going on here.
00:06:57.000
You think back to Reykjavik and Reagan and Gorbachev.
00:07:21.280
You're just not got a free shot at all these networks lying about the people.
00:07:28.680
I know you've tried to do everything in the world to stop that,
00:07:32.940
And where do people like that go to share the big line?
00:07:39.460
I wish that any of these people had a conscience.
00:08:16.980
and then Jack Posobiec's construct of elite merger,
00:08:40.200
They wanted to be in the room with Xi to show their support for Xi.
00:08:49.160
except for the fact that we gave them what they wanted.
00:08:53.060
Right before 60 days before the Taiwan election,
00:08:55.700
or less than 60 days before the Taiwan election in January 24,
00:09:06.840
we took the call from the Taiwanese president after we had taken the calls for all the nations that surround China,
00:09:20.400
they sent Tiger Yang on a plane the next day to meet with Jared and myself for a couple of days,
00:09:28.760
why the South China Sea was a territorial sea of China,
00:09:53.040
They kept voting into office people that are anti-CCP.
00:10:08.560
and he's known as the official kind of establishment,
00:10:38.620
that's maybe one of its leading characteristics
00:10:46.800
I'm glad somehow Biden's been watching clips of the war room,
00:11:21.240
of why the CIA director of the United States of America
