The heroes and congress from Freedom Caucus in the conservative caucus, my good friend up in d. C. Still fighting the fight that were still on china today and im kind of going to go one by one, we have three panels of four u. S. Congressman, were honored to have all of you here today and lets just start off with brian from texas and brian im going to lead off, the other brothers from congress who can hear this in the back room, hello brothers back there and sisters, i hear you in the back room. There all my friends. [laughter] congressman babbitt, the first hurdle is upon which Everything Else depends is the sense of how did china send us this virus, was it intentionally in any respect, was it an accident, we know it came from the wuhan district and it was near a lab but everything hangs on this proposition, we have 40 Million People out of work, we have deaths and suffering in family breakup, bankruptcy is small businesses, disaster in this country, in some sense its caused by china, how do you articulate, how morally responsible is china for the virus coming this way . Its great to be here with you, great to see you and great to be of my colleagues. I think absolutely china is responsible for this pandemic, there is no question about it, whether they did intentionally or whether it was a mess up, that is hard to say but i will say this, they were prohibiting flights within china around here and we thank you for what you are doing and they do an awesome job as well. At the end of the day, we are not just in a cordial work, we are in a special work. Only our own country but certainly much what happening right now in china. The religious persecution is phenomenal right now. Thats in china. From the muslims to the questions. Just the last few months, tore down over 250 center spread we been heavily involved in writing letters and putting forth resolutions and trying to address it. Against their own constitution and the national law. , they have been massively talking religious liberties the extent of removing every religious symbol, raising churches to the ground. Persecuting individuals. We know theres over 80000 leaders that have now been transported to slave labor camps. It is something that has to be noticed. And has to be addressed. We have a responsibility here in the United States to bring those issues to life and to do what we can to address them. To vote your district, can they stand to look at that evil, that atrocity over there. We have the beginnings of a cultural revolution here. Chinese, get rid of the old. The religion, given the statutes and the culture. Were starting to see a little that seep in here pretty. Yes we are. Are the people ready. Can i concede that, the United States of america is changing in this direction. Ellipsis get up and fight. I think is an outstanding point. Where they are, they are much further down the road in this avenue of religious liberties than we are. But they got there by the same type of things that we are beginning to see here in the u. S. With rewriting our history. Turn down our monuments and going after. It is an elevation of the state to replace god really. And this what they have now in china. There is an outright attempt to reeducate people to acknowledge that the state in itself is god. We are not there but we are seen some of those feeds or sees the go into this type of food result. Theyve very much been planted or in process of being planted here in the United States. We cannot afford to be silent on these issues. We cannot be silent as to what is happening in china nor can we be silent as to what is happening right now in the United States. As it relates to all of our liberties and freedoms and First Amendment rights and so forth. If we do not stand firm on those issues, and result will be just as horrific as it is in china and other places of the world. We must stand for those basic principles. Thank you very much. Very good. All right over in ohio. Lauren. A business background, mba supply chain. Where is it dont want so far off track when our mba schools, but 100 percent of the supply chains for pharmaceuticals abroad and another manufacturing that you know that industry. How did we get here. China, with respect to the medical supply chain and pharmaceuticals really, a great book, solid author. Really good recommendations and a course of action to correct it. More broadly, post the cold war with the soviet union. United states really did not develop a grand strategy largely know what did happen, china was ready to insert themselves into the void for it is been great for china. And as part, the Clinton Administration upgrade the world trade organization. As part of the china got a special status as their developing economy. That was true back in the 90s. Theyve developed pretty nicely, the second largest economy in the world now. And as part of that, they agreed to be a market economy. Zero countries in the world recognize china as a market economy. Everything a trading partner was in the same thing. They subsidize, they dove, to the steel market shares. The block Market Access in violation of the commitments. And then if you do happen to put anything in there, they were to take it over and so prevent the actual Market Access from happening. They steal intellectual property, not just in china but all of the world. Have a full country approach of doing this with our entire economy and meanwhile, the wto stepped back complacent. Donald trump was calling this out before he was president pretty he called out during the campaign. Honeys work hard to deal with it in china. And frankly the Biggest Issue is that now, the rest of the world, the blinders are off. Countries like france and hey, if you want protective a coma, just agreed to use volley as your 5g provider. And there like you would do that. China would do that. Thats who would do that. Is no delusion anymore as to the nature and character of chinas approach to dominating world trade. One road you see what theyre doing to the small economies. In africa for example. They are ready to do it to the rest of the planet. So we really are justly have to either reshape the wto replace them and we need to really do that within an alliance we are more likely to multiply the enemies, we need to embrace that and deal with it. If they will come and say okay, fine but were not would be drug there again. I complicit countries. I am curious on their constituents in ohio. The manufacturing of and that lost a lot of jobs same with southern virginia where i am. And kind of a flyover country. Versus the coastal elites. Initial pushback. If you see a slight change coming back. They could be some pain on wall street, they will be screaming. And the nguyen is slower than the others. Two come fall on the decoupling from china. But in your district, how do you view the elites that is the message getting all of the way through in ohio. We got to deal china or does everybody understand it. s ohio was saying this all alone. They were being ignored whether it was obama or mccain or romney. People saying, is jobs are not coming back. And donald trump said they are coming back. And we are going to fight for them. In the message was perfectly calibrated for states like ohio, and like michigan, wisconsin western pa, the quote the rust belt. It is not rusty, were manufacturing innovators and still make more than ever in the United States of america but we put a lot of into china. Our companies can compete against any company the world but they should not have to compete against the nation state. And meanwhile is been an coming it. And he won the same is true for Energy Production in the United States. We have got congressman perry back there pretty talk a lot about the endangerment findings. And he wants, the saudis the russians, the chinese wanted. Anything to weaken our economy. And frankly, we can our currency. And so we need to work hard. The heartland of america, the message donald trump ran on, resonates with them and frankly, its time for new words in this pretty we been very pleased with those results with the trade deals. We got a long way to go. We should really accelerate this and build on the momentum while we have everyones attention about how critical of the supply chain is. Summa congressman, carolina, businessman, attorney general bar event powerful speech a week ago and he talked about businesses that are doing too much collaboration and collusion with china. As a wakeup call for American Business etc. This week pompeo ultimate International Scene give a powerful speech, actions. Were starting to take actions. Taken action, and the words in your district, are they paying attention to these key speeches. Do they see what is going on in the world stayed no one impacts them. Absolutely and i can take a story about a sizable business, multiple generations who have been in business over a hundred years. I think that this is a warning to other businesses who have not had this problem. The main pipe. You might look under your kitchen sink of your bathroom sink and you see there brandon there. Will the in china. But their logo, their schematics, their imprint was on a five. Complete intellectual theft. We had to go and assistance with arrival and look what china is doing to this domestic company. Thats a warning to other companies. So were definitely saying it. In the u. S. , there is a Freedom Alliance that is bring out there. And trump runs on this America First thing people say business going to go first. Theyre just looking at their own self interest. And it turns out now, we have india and australia and the uk and theyre all going in china now. And so on the world scene, its kind of ironic w America First. I think everyone is starting to see the deceit the way china has been treating aspirated the horn of africa. Just for content. Maybe not perfect but there our allies. You can see the predatory lending if you would. They are realizing that this nationstate would not be able to pay them back. Therefore they can take control we are seeing how hostile their intentions. First we need to go back and realize that this is not against the people china. This is against the Chinese Communist party. So we need to make a big distinction there. That is our enemy. The Chinese Communist party is not a force for good. In this last 140,000 lives and family members related to them, thats who they can blame. We can look to the Chinese Communist party for withholding information. Blaming an ongoing, very feeble attempt. But they blamed our u. S. Military for this coronavirus. That was like a lead balloon. It completely lost but the Chinese Communist party that is our enemy here. Think you guys very much. I have been looking behind my shoulder here and some of you, i little inside joke, the most dangerous pleasant easy is anywhere between the presence of freedom and andy and the camera. [laughter]. Hes itching to get up here. Thank you for cleaning your microphones and thank you for serving our country. [applause]. We are in for a treat. We have for the congressman coming up representing in parts of our great country. At this point, i just want to say a special thanks again to president falwell and charlie clark. Furlough they have done, their vision and putting this event together. Streaming across the country for those watching out there, we are streaming with cspan, americas voice, fox news, and will be doing the same all day tomorrow. Go out to the center on facebook. You will see our agenda there and you will be able to stream through your computers. If your media on your listening into multimedia friends all around the country sharing our screen. Just go out to bass lake and use that stream to throw out your network print what i think the director of the center for putting on this production and i dont think hes in the room right now, but another, just all of the support in the back to run this program today. It is just an inspiring and hearing from the leaders of our country. We are in for a fight but its a good fight. We have folks like this coming on the stage to be in that fight with. Welcome gentlemen. [applause]. [laughter]. Greetings. All right, congressman, we will just start on the end there. With the chairman you seen them on fox news every day. And he was the head of the senate and the city was from. He had this strategically mindset. The word in other words hes very smart. And so any comic us your wisdom. What is the freedom talk is doing on china and why should we be doing in the market people help in this fight against china. And are we at war with china. So people need to quit thinking of china as a peaceful economic emissary or opponent. Certainly not what they are. China has over the last sensually 25 years moved itself away from a full on communist economy to some kind of hybridization of an economy while maintaining communist authoritarian rule with a pad and going back so what we need to do in my opinion coming my estimations, and Freedom Caucus, hasnt taken a formal position on this but i think what we need you look back at some of the trade restrictions that we had in place when we were in a cold war with russia. And actually pretty generic. In the recent this is because if you look like at the Blue Water Navy with china free to give that to them. If you look at the high tech flock if the limit phrase that they have allows missiles. We give that to them. Youll me to move on. [laughter]. You are on a roll. Middleclass, we built that. The intellectual properties and they have. We have set idly by when that is happened and we have refused to engage. And the thing President Trump has been so well is actually by using unused utilizing the sanctions that is done. There has been marvelous. What controls trade better. What the economic sanctions. You want this also be personalized though ways we have done with russia and an rn presence. And i think you need to actually encourage what is going on in india. Actually have a hot war between india and china. It is in the northern border. So what you need to do is not necessarily encourage of work but the balancing structure that and i am a realist and is a real estate believe that everybody moves to balance. He then india, and indonesia, vietnam, cambodia etc. Philippians, yellow and up with taiwan and south korea and china. You can actually contain china and others in the region contain them. We need to be working on that strengthening the relationship as well. That is right in the money. In the folks on this district. Are they following the issue and do they know but the basics on what china has done and that where in some sense at war with them at least an information and technology work. The right mentor jobs and loss of jobs. Weve actually seen factory. From china had gone over there. So they are aware of that. I dont think it is a tough issue. The top issue is referring to the war on virus. And how you respond to lockdowns in the economic difficulty. In arizona were were stay so so concerned with immigration and crossborder transmission of the viruses, the Human Trafficking and Drug Trafficking as well. Thank you very much chairman pradip and think your brother. We have general scott here and he is the Foreign Relations committee in congress. He has been tracking china for a while. What he got for us general. We might not be at work with china but they been at war with us for a long time. The infection did with us in the long way produced and outlined in a book that unrestricted warfare is about. Actually dont prefer a half were. They prefer an economic war. Which they have been engaged in a long time thinking about some of the questions that chairman biggs answered, think the people in my district are starting to get a vilas basin, the United States government has lied to the American People for the balance of 40 years about the relationship that china and that they were a strategic competitor. Not what they really are. And whether its the coronavirus out of wuhan and in that regard, the theft. And i was listening to the things that and it rattled off. We have given some of the stuff that they had taken a whole lot of stuff and we opened the door. Over and over and over again. His way beyond time for the United States to shut that door and recognize that and its important i think in this discussion probably all of us would agree is important to differentiate between the Chinese Communist party and chinese people. Chinese communist party was put into power with the assistance of the United States by the way the late 40s in the 50s. As we need to recognize that and then treat them accordingly. I think really of china as a thug off proceed. A criminal organization that runs this geographically run this whole group of people which is a country. This how we need to see it. I am working on a lot of things. I think a lot of folks are. Rep. Scott perry we want to name them a transnational criminal organization, the chinese party. [applause]. That opens up the whole pan of things to not only the United States and International Courts predict that is who they are. When we look at what who what happened in germany and say never again bill of the things that are happening in western china right now. To get just a its inconvenient because we have such economic times. Everything a little town in pennsylvania and one or two industries when i was growing up in of the course of my lifetime, all of them have gone and most of them have gone to china. Theres a reason for that. We have allowed it and enabled it now, it is way beyond time to recognize who they are take the same actions you would against any other criminal organization which means tough actions. Means like the chairman says, shut sanctions also pulling peo
