So we have a a little little little bit bit bit of of of back back back back and and and and forth forth. forth forth about about about exactly exactly exactly exactly where where. where where this this this is is is coming from. I I mean mean the the exact exact exact origin origin origin origin as as as China. China China China blames blames blames us, all of our our intelligence intelligence seems seems seems pretty pretty pretty certain certain certain that that that that this this this this. came came came from from from Mohan exactly whether it's it's a a lab lab or or from from this this this wet wet wet markets. markets. markets. there there there seems seems seems to to to to be be be some debate about that. But But I I think think it's it's it's interesting interesting interesting today today today that that that there's there's there's this. this this this internal internal internal internal Chinese. Chinese Chinese Chinese report that Reuters is talking about saying Beijing. A wave of anti-China sentiment led by the US in the aftermath of the pandemic needs to be prepared in a worst case scenario for armed confrontation between the two global powers, according to people familiar with the reports content They're citing a Chinese report. Paterson, What do you think of the odds that this could escalate to that level? I don't see that escalating this level now, but I do think you know a few other things from that report number one I don't believe the Chinese did this deliberately, but I think we have to be very clear that they are developing the ability to do so by a warfare is a key piece of their seven domains of warfare as defined by the National Defense University been written about by a number of their military theorist and they're doing it through genetic modifications called Crisper technology. That's one of the reasons. At the US military doesn't allow its members to participate in sites like 23 and me Ancestry dot com because they're repeatedly being hacked as our another as our other places either through hacking or the Chinese are actually buying up some of these technologies so that they can develop the ability to do offensively what Cot has done some of their leaders even call it bloodless warfare and we need to be on guard. And we need to stop that technology transfer from going to Beijing. It's not just technology transfer. I know that you have also raised very big concerns about this issue of investments that involve military sort of 401 K or retirement fund, equivalent and money from that now could potentially be poured into China. Frank Gaffney Talking about this former Pentagon official. you know political commentator, he's quoted as saying This. This is a microcosm, an example of a problem that we've been raising the alarm of. That we are underwriting the threat we are now facing from China. you know a member of the military yourself. What do you make of this possibility? It's incredible Shannon so every military member including myself as a National Guardsman contributes to what's called the thrift savings Plan 401 K style plan with hundreds of billions of dollars under management, the board overseeing it is has changed the rules so that billions will go to the Beijing Stock Exchange to companies that are building ships planes, One just launched two nuclear-powered submarines, others that are surveilling the wess wess the the the the the the You You You know know know the the the the Chinese. Chinese Chinese Chinese Muslims Muslims Muslims. Muslims that that that are are are in concentration concentration camps camps on on blacklist blacklist sites sites look look. Congress has been. To stop this, I've introduced legislation to stop and I've talked to the White House. They are going to take action. I think in the near term to try and stop it so we get this oversight board change out. It's full of Obama era appointees and then until that legislation can come into effect, but the bottom line is between our debt between our federal pension between even a number of state pensions and then our massive trade deficit, which the President has been on since day one, we are funding. Hundreds of billions of American dollars Beijing's militarily and their rise economically and Shannon. This isn't just Hawks sounding the alarm Bell, the leader of the Chinese Communist Party and his lieutenants have said in the next decade they will dominate a new world order led by China, the United States subservient and that's not a world. I want my grandchildren growing up in yeah. We'll we'll watch your legislation.
