Laura Ingraham guest: The Chinese government is “licking their chopsticks” because Biden doesn’t see China as an enemy

  From the September 22, 2021, edition of Quake Media's The Laura Ingraham Show Podcast

LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Joining us now is Jim Hanson, U.S. Army Special Forces vet, founder and president of Security Studies Group, author of the book "Winning the Second Civil War: Without Firing a Shot", came out a few months back. Jim, the -- first of all, it's great to talk to you. Biden goes to the U.N., and does he exude strength or does he exude weakness?

HANSON: Biden wouldn't know strength if someone introduced it to him. He is continuing what, under Obama, he was part of, which is the policy of cringing capitulation. You know, they apologize for America. They tell the world that we're not exceptional. You know, we're just one country among many and we just all want to get along. And then they go ahead and empower tyrants and annoy our allies and show the world that America is not what it used to be. He is a danger to the safety and security of Americans, and to the rest of the world because he makes it less safe.

INGRAHAM: Well, he supposedly was going there to confront the doubts about U.S. global leadership, but if you're not perceived as a strong economic power and if you're perceived as a declining power, if your military hasn't won a war outright since 1945, you get -- you have to go out of Afghanistan with your tail between your legs. You get all these people shot and killed there, your own southern border is not, as we just talked about in the previous segment, our own southern border is overrun. No will to enforce that. In fact, a will to subvert it. I mean, what are the Chinese thinking watching this?

HANSON: They are licking their chopsticks. I think I would love nothing more than to be sitting in one of those meetings just to see the glee, because we need to take them seriously. And I think that's the problem. You've got Biden, who, as you said, is more or less bought and paid for. His family's been paid. Everyone got a bit of the Chinese yuan. But what he also did is he's now got people working for him like General Milley, who we watched a video of him talking about how China is not our enemy, or even really a competitor, they're just the growing global economic power who we should keep an eye on.
