00:00:23.960 And peace will have to wait.

00:00:25.600 Dutton Ranch.

00:00:26.640 New series now streaming on Paramount+.

00:00:30.000 So this is the part about the 500,000 Chinese students in U.S. universities.

00:00:34.180 Rob, if you want to play this clip, Tom, I'm going to come to you on this one first because I know you're a big fan of it.

00:00:37.400 Go ahead, Rob.

00:00:38.360 It's 500,000 students that come, good students.

00:00:43.740 I could tell them I don't want any students is a very insulting thing to say to a country.

00:00:52.620 They would then immediately go out and start building universities all over China.

00:00:56.440 but if you don't have those students good students by the way if you don't and we do another thing

00:01:02.240 you know if they're good they want to stay in america we we won't give them a green card and

00:01:05.840 things like that um you know i and that not only them but other other countries but if you want to

00:01:12.800 see a university system die take a half a million people out of it it's five so but pat the same

00:01:19.980 token like okay like again i don't i'm not gonna know everything i wasn't any of these meetings

00:01:24.800 obviously but you can't on one hand say they spy on us and we spy on them if you don't think the

00:01:31.100 ccp is talking to every single one of those students and maybe let's just say conservatively 0.86

00:01:36.140 tom ready for hey numbers talk are you ready tom out of 500,000 let's say five percent are spies

00:01:43.100 or five percent or what is that uh a 500,000 command how many are spies probably 501,000 so

00:01:50.360 So five, no, I'm asking you the numbers.

00:01:53.000 It's a 2,500.

00:01:53.980 So 2,500.

00:01:54.900 Yeah. 0.50

00:01:55.460 2,500 that we don't trust.

00:01:57.920 And then on the same, and then the flip side.

00:01:58.960 25,000.

00:01:59.800 25,000.

00:02:00.460 25,000 students that potentially could be spies.

00:02:03.280 And then you're going to say, well, they're probably good students.

00:02:05.480 No, I'm sorry, Pat.

00:02:06.800 You can't trust them.

00:02:07.640 Are we sending our students?

00:02:08.600 Yeah, because this goes to the story of Arcadia, Rob.

00:02:11.180 If you want to go to it, a mayor in Arcadia who did all her campaigns in Chinese.

00:02:16.200 And then eventually she comes out and she says what?

00:02:19.480 I'm a spy.

00:02:20.900 Check this.

00:02:21.380 Is this the one, Rob?

00:02:22.180 The Eileen Wang?

00:02:23.540 Go ahead, Rob.

00:02:24.640 Now at 11 from secret messages to pro-China propaganda.

00:02:28.360 The SoCal mayor accused of acting as an illegal covert agent for Beijing for years.

00:02:35.040 Good evening.

00:02:35.540 I'm Micah Ullman.

00:02:36.440 And I'm Cher Calvin.

00:02:37.600 The mayor of Arcadia has now resigned and taken a plea deal after the FBI says she admitted 0.55

00:02:43.540 to secretly serving the interests of the Chinese government.

00:02:46.700 Carlos Sacedo, live in Arcadia Forest tonight.

00:02:49.560 Carlos.

00:02:50.360 It looks like a real-life anchor.

00:02:51.900 Michael Sher, the city of Arcadia is without a mayor tonight

00:02:55.500 after Eileen Wang stepped down following these federal charges.

00:02:59.940 Now, she's accused of acting as a foreign agent for the Chinese government,

00:03:04.260 and tonight the Trump administration is weighing in.

00:03:09.000 Arcadia, the century...

00:03:10.940 That's Eileen Wang in the 2022 campaign video

00:03:14.280 when she was running for Arcadia City Council.

00:03:16.580 So, this is...

00:03:17.480 She? Did they not see that one coming? 0.53

00:03:19.780 like she is like speaking like complete well apparently and this is allegedly eric swalwell

00:03:27.080 wanted to spy on her and he yeah because that's his type and they couldn't do it

00:03:33.040 but the point is so this is the part it's a it's a real issue that a lot of americans are worried

00:03:38.440 saying hey wait a minute i thought it's america first i thought it's about us first and it's like

00:03:44.100 no it's really the education and humberto made a very good point about you know you come here you

00:03:49.120 learn the system and then you take the stuff back and you're doing what you're doing over there

00:03:52.880 and so and then also at the same time it's like if the u.s educational system is not performing

00:03:58.160 and it's losing and it's going in a direction what we're seeing what results it is well maybe

00:04:02.580 some of them got to go out of business this is 500 000 customers you're bringing yep to some of

00:04:07.640 the guys so that that's the criticism of uh the educational system rob you're so funny you pull

00:04:12.800 up this clip right now to go to it but uh yeah oh my i'm already laughing playing this this is

00:04:17.980 So, by the way, this is our current educational system

00:04:20.580 on how well our students read in some of the markets.

00:04:22.960 Where is this, Rob?

00:04:23.960 Philadelphia.

00:04:24.640 This is Philadelphia.

00:04:25.520 Go ahead, Rob. 1.00

00:04:26.360 Read the Indies for me. 1.00

00:04:27.480 She wore a suit, clothes that were... 1.00

00:04:33.480 Are you serious?

00:04:35.940 Who's this for?

00:04:36.960 Oh, my.

00:04:37.860 Extraordinary, but somewhat... 0.90

00:04:41.480 Gertrude?

00:04:43.840 Now, explain what that means.

00:04:45.560 I don't know. 0.65

00:04:47.040 she wore a sahalat of clothes that were extra duriany whatever bro but somewhat

00:04:55.600 what does that mean she wore a lot wait she wore bro i don't know bro can you take the card back

00:05:01.600 please she wore a oh baby she wore a silhouette of clothes that were is this a joke no no this

00:05:11.200 This is going to be a hard time saying silhouettes.

00:05:14.920 She wore a silhouette of clothes that were extraordinary.

00:05:18.920 Go to the, is there a last one, Rob?

00:05:21.040 Is there something at the end?

00:05:22.140 Oh, this is the one that he gets.

00:05:23.720 Keep going, Rob.

00:05:24.440 Keep going, Rob.

00:05:25.420 All right, now, what does that mean?

00:05:26.960 I have no idea.

00:05:28.300 Like his clothes.

00:05:29.160 He says it was like.

00:05:30.580 Yeah.

00:05:31.060 She wore.

00:05:32.120 This is the one.

00:05:33.000 I don't know what this is saying.

00:05:35.300 I don't know what this is saying.

00:05:36.340 By the way, we're laughing at these kids.

00:05:41.180 But what's funny is that it's not even funny.

00:05:44.700 It's our educational system is letting down these kids.

00:05:48.820 Standards, you don't know how to say the word silhouette.

00:05:51.560 Now, listen, when I first came to the States, I didn't know how to say Wednesday.

00:05:55.060 Because we would watch a show called Gilligan's Island.

00:05:58.600 Yes.

00:05:59.140 I don't know if you guys remember Gilligan's Island, right?

00:06:01.320 You would eat lasagna.

00:06:02.520 Yeah, lasagna, right?

00:06:04.200 We didn't know how to, I didn't know how to,

00:06:05.440 But I was fresh off the boat.

00:06:06.780 You know, we just got off.

00:06:07.580 I swam across, and it was like we came and we went to school.

00:06:09.800 It was a different scenario.

00:06:11.040 If you were born and raised here and you have a hard time with some of these words,

00:06:15.120 our educational, you know, system's got a bit of a fixing to do.

00:06:20.020 So, Tom, let me ask you, is Jensen Wong celebrating right now after coming back from China?

00:06:24.040 Who's the biggest winner? 0.60

00:06:25.400 Who are the biggest losers coming back from China? 1.00

00:06:27.660 So I think the biggest winner is still in China,

00:06:32.280 And it's those companies that now are going to be able to buy more powerful chips.

00:06:37.600 And Jensen may be a winner.

00:06:39.160 Let's go take a look today, see what the market thinks on the flatback.

00:06:44.000 Oh, down $10.

00:06:45.920 So they gave back the gain that they had yesterday.

00:06:48.920 Wow.

00:06:49.740 That's interesting.

00:06:50.640 Okay.

00:06:51.520 Right?

00:06:51.840 So they march up the mountain, they march down the mountain.

00:06:54.660 That's interesting.

00:06:55.540 Look at that.

00:06:56.600 Up a day ago, $10, and now down.

00:07:01.140 Winners and losers.

00:07:02.040 Are there any clear winners and losers with this?

00:07:04.740 I think NVIDIA is a clear winner.

00:07:06.300 I think all those companies in China that got the more powerful chips are clear winners.

00:07:10.880 I think Citibank is a clear winner.

00:07:13.120 They've wanted to have kind of the equivalent of RIA for wealthy Chinese over there, and now they get that opportunity.

00:07:20.240 So I think that was a clear winner.

00:07:21.820 And I'm going to wait and see if there's any other trade deals that get announced.

00:07:26.620 But those, I think, are the clear winners right now.

00:07:28.780 And what's also very interesting, how many times does Scott Besson say he's been engaged and over there and talking to people?

00:07:35.020 Nine times, right?

00:07:36.580 Did you know that that was one cabinet member we've had talked nine times?

00:07:42.240 I went back and looked it up, and apparently under Biden, it wasn't until 23 or 24, right before the election, where Lloyd Austin went over there, John Kerry went over there.

00:07:52.380 But they only had like six visits among four cabinet members.

00:07:56.920 So this is Trump also. I think there is a winner. You're going to think this is odd, but I think it's a winner for the dialogue, that there is a dialogue that is happening with China and it's active.

00:08:09.900 We may not like everything that's coming out of it. I know I don't. But I think the winner is that we're talking because when people talk, usually temperature of certain things goes down and other things tend to get done.

00:08:21.440 So for that respect, I think it's a winner that we're talking, not yelling at each other across media from half a world away.

00:08:28.500 Yeah. Adam, your thoughts?

00:08:30.420 I think the United States is the big winner because we are the big winner.

00:08:34.720 I agree with Tom's point.

00:08:36.600 They used some term when they left the meeting.

00:08:40.020 They said the whole point of this is to have a constructive, strategic stability.

00:08:45.600 You know, I said I think the United States should replace peace through strength through stability through strength

00:08:51.080 because we're not going to have peace with all our enemies.

00:08:53.140 We're not going to have peace with Iran necessarily or necessarily not be competitors or rivals with China, but we can speak.

00:09:01.360 the last time the United States had a country that was coming for the number one spot for the 0.66

00:09:08.300 hegemony was the USSR. Now, if you compare what's going on with China versus the USSR in the 80s,

00:09:14.640 70s and 80s, it's not even close. Why? We weren't even speaking with Russia at the time, right? The

00:09:21.100 Cold War. We saw the movie with Reagan and Dennis Quaid. We had no business relationship with the

00:09:26.080 USSR. It was complete capitalism on one side of the world and communism on the other side of the

00:09:30.960 world the state of the world these days is we actually have a relationship with them they

00:09:36.320 describe it as potential strategic stability type relationship the reality is this we use them for

00:09:43.500 certain things they use us for certain things but they're never going to beat us and this is why 0.99

00:09:48.480 they have to lie cheat and steal and have fake mayors spying on on all of us because china's 0.99

00:09:54.780 never going to beat america if all things are considered equal yeah now while we're talking 0.96

00:09:58.360 about this you know and we're kind of going through what's going on here the conversations

00:10:01.940 that people are having um jd and rubios like hey who's going to be the vp and there is a moment

00:10:09.880 here where trump jokes trump jokes with jd vance about assassination attempt as he touts

00:10:17.120 support for his 2028 successor and advanced jokes at trump you got to see this this is purely

00:10:22.540 made for tv go ahead rob i want to thank also a friend of mine secret service director sean

00:10:29.220 curran i see you back there sean thank you very much and i thought you did a great job two weeks

00:10:36.560 ago you know why because i'm here okay we consider being here a success and i i tell you what your

00:10:44.760 people are all over the place you know i got a little they uh no matter how well no matter how

00:10:49.520 well you do they're going to find fault but i i will be the one to find fault if i think there

00:10:54.840 was fault they had great professional people and they came out and within seconds i saw them take

00:11:01.580 jd by the shoulders and lift him up like he was a little boy they i said how come they didn't lift

00:11:08.080 me up so fast they lifted jd got ripped out of the chair that was a that was a view of the week

00:11:14.720 but uh they did the job jd right i think so well jd comes out and he says the following about who's

00:11:23.760 going to be the president 2028 this is what he had to say go ahead rob it's not us who are bringing

00:11:28.620 this up a couple days ago trump made this uh statement to people in the rose garden why do

00:11:32.980 you think he does that do you think it's it's a little bit of toying with you both over your

00:11:37.700 succession why do you think he brings that up just number one well i just don't think it sounds like

00:11:44.140 the President of the United States to have a televised competition for who would succeed

00:11:49.320 him as his apprentice.

00:11:50.320 I just think that's not at all what you would expect the President to do.

00:11:53.820 That was good.

00:11:54.820 But no, look, I think the President, he's always been fascinated by politics.

00:11:58.680 If you talk to him, he was fascinated by politics 30 years before he ever ran for office.

00:12:03.220 So I think it's natural for him to, you know, joke around with us a little bit, to play

00:12:06.380 around with the idea.

00:12:07.380 But I can tell you the President is as focused as any of us on making sure we do as good

00:12:11.560 of a job now for the American people.

00:12:14.140 Yeah. So, hey, he's kind of playing with Apprentice and Rubio, Trump, all this other stuff.

00:12:19.620 That was good. That was good. That was good that that's happened in the exchange.

00:12:22.600 Vinny, where are you at with this, with the whole Rubio and Vance stuff?

00:12:25.360 I think I mean, I think it's I think it's too early for like the fireworks.

00:12:31.320 If you think about it, once we get to, you know, you know, a year out, a year out, then it's going to be they're going to have to be going after each other.

00:12:38.620 it's inevitable and I think I think the split is going to be depending on the Iran war Rubio is

00:12:45.760 going to be the you know the the Republicans choice you know strength war and all that stuff

00:12:50.160 and JD and remember remember building up Tom he was in those meetings and the president said he

00:12:55.100 was I quote less enthusiastic about the war and all that stuff and then all this joking and stuff

00:13:00.140 that is going to be a one day you're going to see boom shots fired no pun intended it's going to be

00:13:04.740 going after his throw, going after his

00:13:06.900 throw, and then the whole movement is going

00:13:08.880 to split. And it's going to be the people's

00:13:11.000 choice. And I don't see

00:13:12.780 a real outsider. Whoever the outsider

00:13:14.840 is going to be, it's wherever the money is going to be put

00:13:16.900 in, Pat. Because, you know, we did

00:13:18.760 the stat of however, whoever

00:13:20.960 has the most money, what was the percentage,

00:13:23.180 Robbie? Do you remember? Wins the

00:13:24.640 election or wins the nomination.

00:13:27.180 So I think it's a little too early,

00:13:29.060 but depending on how the Iran war goes,

00:13:31.080 I think it's going to be neck and neck.

00:13:33.120 For us that are going into the weekend,

00:13:34.740 and we're having conversations about the 250-year anniversary

00:13:37.600 that's coming around the corner.

00:13:38.700 We can't wait for that, as well as the World Cup.

00:13:41.780 And everyone's saying, Pat, what happened to the next hat?

00:13:44.560 I thought we were doing more limited-edition hats.

00:13:47.420 By the way, Rob, can you do me a favor?

00:13:49.420 Go on eBay, if you could, and type in Future Looks Bright.

00:13:54.020 For some of you guys that missed the last hats and you're like,

00:13:56.700 Pat, I can't get it, just go on eBay.

00:14:00.860 because people buy it and put it on here.

00:14:02.240 so if you go a little bit lower, a lot of these hats are here

00:14:05.200 that you can go order from previous limited editions one.

00:14:07.960 But today, Rob, if you can play the clip,
