=== Securing The Southern Hemisphere (15:29) ===

[00:00:26]  You ever see this guy with the pillows on Fox?
[00:00:30]  My pillow guy, Mike Lindell.
[00:00:35]  He is the greatest.
[00:00:38]  The My Pillow guy, thank you.
[00:00:41]  Mike Lindell.
[00:00:44]  And he's been with us right from the beginning.
[00:01:04]  Happy Tuesday, everybody.
[00:01:05]  We have another amazing show here for you guys with a lot of great information.
[00:01:11]  As many of you know, Michael Lindell is busy on the campaign trail.
[00:01:15]  He's all over the state of Minnesota.
[00:01:17]  And if you are in Minnesota, we actually have a little flyer here.
[00:01:21]  He is going to be doing a Pints in Politics event.
[00:01:25]  He is the special guest.
[00:01:27]  And so if you're interested in meeting Mike, that is Tuesday, May 12th, today, 5 30 to 7 30 p.m. at the Bogarts Entertainment Center.
[00:01:38]  In Apple Valley, Minnesota.
[00:01:40]  So, Mike is a very easily approachable guy.
[00:01:44]  Everyone that knows him loves him.
[00:01:45]  So, highly recommend you go out, check it out if you're in the area.
[00:01:49]  And yeah, tell Mike we said hello over here at Lindell TV on none other than the Michael Lindell Show.
[00:01:57]  So, going forward, though, we're going to go around the globe a little bit today.
[00:02:02]  We're going to cover a lot of the topics here coming out regarding foreign policy.
[00:02:08]  As many of you know, there was a budget hearing today with Secretary Hexas.
[00:02:12]  And General Kane and the comptroller, and they were going over some of the budget stuff, but a lot of important information came out in that hearing as well.
[00:02:22]  But one of the big topics that seems to be circulating in the foreign policy realm of things is not Iran, but it's actually Cuba.
[00:02:31]  So you may have seen Cuba in the news lately.
[00:02:34]  President Trump put out this tweet in particular.
[00:02:37]  He said, No Republican has ever spoken to me about Cuba, which is a failed country and only heading in one direction.
[00:02:45]  Down.
[00:02:45]  Cuba is asking for help, and we are going to talk.
[00:02:49]  In the meantime, I'm off to China, President DJT.
[00:02:53]  So, President Trump is on his way to China today.
[00:02:57]  Our own Kara Castronova is going to be joining us at some point in the program after he departs the White House.
[00:03:04]  But we're going to continue on this whole Cuba talk here.
[00:03:07]  If you remember just a few days ago, we're going to put this tweet up on the screen.
[00:03:11]  Lindell TV actually reported this.
[00:03:15]  We have a Democrat congresswoman.
[00:03:17]  In particular, who actually was caught on tape, what appearing to be admitting that she's working to try to get oil to Cuba in violation of U.S. law.
[00:03:29]  As you know, there's some sanctions currently in place.
[00:03:32]  We'll go ahead and play that clip and let you take a listen.
[00:03:37]  Only one Russian tanker of oil has made it to Cuba.
[00:03:42]  In fact, it landed just a couple of days before I landed.
[00:03:47]  And one tanker.
[00:03:49]  Has enough oil basically for 10 to 14 days of Cuba's oil needs.
[00:03:55]  So it's a very limited amount of time.
[00:03:57]  Now, Russia has said they're going to send another tanker.
[00:04:01]  I was in conversations with the ambassadors from Mexico and some other places.
[00:04:05]  And I know other countries in Latin America are trying to figure out how to get oil there.
[00:04:13]  So, as you can see there, we reported on this just a few days ago.
[00:04:17]  The Logan Act, in particular, that you saw on the screen, says any citizen of the United States.
[00:04:22]  Wherever he may be, who without the authority of the United States directly or indirectly commences or carries any correspondence with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof with the intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government, it is basically shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than three years or both.
[00:04:50]  So some people are wondering did she violate the law there by trying to behind the scenes?
[00:04:57]  Figure out ways to get oil to a nation that we are currently sanctioning.
[00:05:03]  So, interesting there.
[00:05:05]  We'll have to follow what happens with her in particular.
[00:05:08]  But also today at the budget hearing, the threat of Cuba was specifically asked to the secretary there.
[00:05:17]  And he actually point blank said he believes Cuba is one of the biggest threats in the region.
[00:05:23]  We're going to go ahead and let you take a listen to that right now.
[00:05:27]  Let me talk about the one state sponsored terrorism in the Western Hemisphere, which is the Cuban regime.
[00:05:34]  Are you aware that they harbor terrorists and U.S. fugitives from U.S. law?
[00:05:40]  And we can just go through these really quick.
[00:05:42]  Yes.
[00:05:43]  Yes, I am.
[00:05:44]  Is it true that the Cuban regime actually shot down two American airplanes in international airspace, murdering Americans?
[00:05:52]  I can't recall the precise year, but I believe that is the case.
[00:05:55]  Is it true that Russian spy ships and warships, including the nuclear sub Kazan, Have repeatedly used Cuban ports.
[00:06:06]  That is true, Congressman.
[00:06:07]  Is it true that the site of the Russian signet complex in Lourdes has once again become a hub for Russian intelligence within Cuba?
[00:06:16]  Well, we've long been concerned that a foreign adversary using that kind of location that close to our shores is highly problematic.
[00:06:24]  And is it also true that now the Chinese also are there?
[00:06:28]  I wouldn't want to reveal anything that should be classified, but we don't want.
[00:06:33]  Foreign adversaries attempted to use that.
[00:06:35]  Well stated.
[00:06:37]  Are you aware that, well, you're obviously aware that Cubans, intel people, and military folks have been sent around the world because your folks confronted them in Venezuela.
[00:06:50]  But are you also aware that, according to Ukrainian intelligence, there are thousands of Cubans fighting for Russia in Ukraine?
[00:06:59]  I was not aware of that particular fact, but I am well aware that Cubans have been around the globe to include attempting to defend Maduro in Venezuela.
[00:07:07]  So, that is something they've done for a long time, yes.
[00:07:09]  You're also aware, Mr. Secretary, that, well, even stated by U.S. intelligence, even during the Biden administration, the Trump administration, the previous administration, the Obama administration, that Cuba has been designated as one of the foremost advanced espionage operations against the United States and that they share intel with other adversaries of the United States.
[00:07:31]  That all very much sounds right, sir.
[00:07:34]  And again, we're not in a classified setting.
[00:07:36]  So, I'm just considering all those issues and others that we could talk about in a classified setting.
[00:07:41]  Do you believe that the Cuban regime possesses a national security threat to the United States?
[00:07:47]  I do.
[00:07:51]  And so you heard it right there.
[00:07:52]  This is sort of, you know, we've all kind of heard Cuba over the years, but not to the magnitude that it is officially, you know, an ongoing national security threat.
[00:08:02]  And then you have that congresswoman there, you know, worried about Cuba, getting them access to oil.
[00:08:08]  So it just really goes to show you how divided our Congress is on the issue of Cuba in particular.
[00:08:16]  What's interesting to note here is Cuba is only 90 to 100 miles from Florida.
[00:08:21]  I mean, this is talk about securing the Southern Hemisphere.
[00:08:25]  If Cuba is this national security threat, being in such close proximity to the U.S. raises some serious concerns.
[00:08:34]  In particular, we're seeing the use of drones in warfighting really reach a level that we have never seen.
[00:08:42]  This is sort of how wars are being fought moving forward.
[00:08:46]  It's gone are the days where it's really fought in the field.
[00:08:49]  It's these unmanned aircraft systems that are flying around that where you're able to pull up.
[00:08:56]  If you can dock a ship in, let's say, Cuba, right?
[00:09:00]  And this is a national security threat.
[00:09:01]  This is a regime sponsoring terrorism.
[00:09:04]  If our adversaries can pull up into Cuba and they have a ship full of unmanned aircrafts and drones, they're only 90 to 100 miles from our coast.
[00:09:16]  I mean, so this is sort of the atmosphere.
[00:09:20]  Of the warfighting that's been shifting with the advancements of technology.
[00:09:26]  And I want to stay here in the Southern Hemisphere for a second and really pivot over to Mexico.
[00:09:34]  We had that whole operation there.
[00:09:37]  As soon as President Trump took office, they're capturing Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela.
[00:09:43]  But a lot of the cartels down in Mexico are still very much posing a threat.
[00:09:49]  And one of the things that was brought up during today's budget hearing.
[00:09:53]  In particular, was the cartels in Mexico now adopting some of the same drone like technology to fight that they're witnessing over in the Ukraine Russia scenario over there?
[00:10:08]  I want to put this headline up on the screen for you just to show you that Mexican cartel armed with explosive launched from drone attacks, rural communities forcing 800 to 100 families.
[00:10:23]  To flee.
[00:10:24]  So these cartels in Mexico, just near our southern border, are now arming themselves with drones with explosives on them.
[00:10:33]  And so these questions of, you know, how is the military combating those cartels down in Mexico?
[00:10:40]  What are they doing to fight the threat of the drones?
[00:10:43]  Was directly asked of Secretary Hegseth and General Kane during today's hearing.
[00:10:49]  And here is their response.
[00:10:52]  And you've seen it through America's Counter Cartel Coalition and getting after the designated terrorist organizations.
[00:10:57]  That are trafficking drugs and humans into the United States, something you've been talking a lot about.
[00:11:01]  And that's the beginning of our defense in depth.
[00:11:03]  It starts down there where they produce and where they move.
[00:11:06]  Then into Mexico, where we have had an unprecedented amount of partnership, and we appreciate that.
[00:11:11]  We would encourage Defensa and Marina to continue where they can to partner and do more.
[00:11:19]  That's the expectation of the United States government, of the Mexican government, is step up so that we don't have to.
[00:11:25]  And then sealing that southwest border is the defense of the American people.
[00:11:28]  It's the defense of the homeland.
[00:11:29]  And when you talk to the troops that are down there doing that, they're proud of it.
[00:11:33]  We also have multiple national defense areas there, which are controlled by DOW, where we can do rapid testing on counter UAS, Jayata 401 capability.
[00:11:45]  The Russia Ukraine lessons learned and the application of those lessons by other actors like cartels is one we're focused a lot on.
[00:11:54]  It's going to require a whole of government effort.
[00:11:57]  As the Secretary mentioned, we do have a joint interagency task force.
[00:12:02]  401, led by an incredible Army one star Brigadier General Matt Ross, who's focused solely in a chairman's controlled activity.
[00:12:11]  So, 401 reports up to me, an intern, then to the secretary to make sure that we're entrepreneurially looking at how to sense, see, detect, and defeat the range of small UAS threats.
[00:12:25]  And, you know, General Ross was just out in CENTCOM looking at some of the challenges that they're having over there.
[00:12:33]  It'll continue to be an area of significant focus for the joint force, sir.
[00:12:40]  And so, there you heard it.
[00:12:41]  That is one of their main focuses there at the southern border is just how can they track these UASs, which are unmanned aircraft systems that pose a threat to our nation right there in our backyard at the southern border.
[00:12:57]  So, this is sort of the thing to watch because while everyone is kind of focused on Iran, we do want to make sure that we pay attention to what's happening in Cuba and what's happening in Mexico.
[00:13:10]  And it's interesting that.
[00:13:12]  You know, the secretary was asked about whether or not there's Chinese officials there in Cuba setting up shop as President Trump literally is leaving today to go to his summit there in China with a few big names, such as Elon Musk, I believe Larry Fink, and some others.
[00:13:31]  So we're going to get to that a little later in the show.
[00:13:34]  But moving on to Iran, currently there is some level of a ceasefire taking place.
[00:13:41]  Negotiations are still trying to be had.
[00:13:43]  President Trump did put out This post on Truth Social regarding the situation in Iran.
[00:13:49]  He put it out yesterday.
[00:13:50]  He said, I have just read the response from Iran's so called representatives.
[00:13:55]  I don't like it.
[00:13:56]  Totally unacceptable.
[00:13:57]  Thank you for your attention to this matter.
[00:14:00]  And so it's really hard to figure out exactly what is going on in Iran as it changes pretty much daily.
[00:14:08]  You know, we'll have a ceasefire in the morning and it's ended by the afternoon.
[00:14:12]  There was the Project Freedom that started and then that sort of got put on hold.
[00:14:17]  So This is something we're just going to have to take one day at a time and watch closely.
[00:14:22]  But President Trump did put out sort of some criticism of the Kurds in particular in a deal that may have gone sour.
[00:14:32]  So let's take a listen to President Trump.
[00:14:35]  Level of ferocity for protest.
[00:14:38]  You know, the people are watching it.
[00:14:40]  They want to go out on the streets.
[00:14:41]  They have no weapons, they have no guns.
[00:14:44]  We thought the Kurds were going to give us weapons, but the Kurds disappointed us.
[00:14:47]  The Kurds take, take, take.
[00:14:49]  They have a great reputation in Congress.
[00:14:51]  Congress says, oh, they fight so hard.
[00:14:53]  No, they fight hard when they get paid.
[00:14:56]  So I'm very disappointed in the Kurds.
[00:14:58]  But they were given.
[00:15:00]  I said it wasn't going to work.
[00:15:02]  By the way, I just have to say it.
[00:15:05]  I disagreed with what they did.
[00:15:06]  They gave it.
[00:15:07]  I said, they'll never get there.
[00:15:08]  And I was right.
[00:15:09]  I like to be right.
[00:15:11]  In this case, too bad.
[00:15:12]  But we sent some guns with ammunition, and they were supposed to be delivered, but they kept it.
[00:15:19]  I said, they're going to keep it.
[00:15:20]  But what do I know?
[00:15:22]  I've only been doing this a short period of time.
[00:15:24]  What do I know?
[00:15:25]  And you know, it's interesting.
[00:15:30]  I can tell you, as someone that's been covering policy in that region for some time, there's always sort of been this issue with the U.S. arming rebel groups or, you know, people like the Kurds, and you arm them, and then, you know, the weapons don't go to where they're supposed to go.
[00:15:50]  And so this isn't anything new.
[00:15:51]  So I can understand President Trump's frustrations there.

=== Joe Kent On Israel Goals (02:30) ===

[00:15:55]  But playing sort of the adversarial perspective to what's going on in Iran, we have a tweet here from Joe Kent responding to that video that was put out by the president.
[00:16:07]  And Joe Kent says this in response.
[00:16:10]  He said, and by the way, Joe Kent is a former combat veteran, a Gold Star husband.
[00:16:16]  He said, President Trump is frustrated because the Israelis sold him the pipe dream that arming the Kurds, which are an indigenous Iranian group, and other Iranian.
[00:16:27]  Decidence would quickly topple the regime, leading to a quick victory.
[00:16:32]  This failed to happen because it was a plan based on wishful thinking, not the realities on the ground.
[00:16:38]  Instead of being mad at the Kurds, who are our critical counterterrorism partners, he should focus his ire on the Israeli government officials who lied to him to get us entrenched in this war and whoever is in the inner circle that allowed the Israelis to manipulate U.S. policy to support Israel's primary goal.
[00:16:58]  Israel's primary goal, according to Joe Kent, was to get us into the war, not to make sure the pipe dream they were selling would actually work.
[00:17:05]  Israel has always understood that they can't topple the Iranian regime without us doing the majority of the fighting they needed to get us into the war.
[00:17:15]  He says the Israelis kept their goal in mind when feeding us intel about Iran.
[00:17:19]  Unfortunately, he says President Trump's inner circle failed to keep Israel's main goal in mind when receiving Israeli intel and providing context to the president.
[00:17:30]  So, as you recall, Joe Kent was the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, and he resigned specifically.
[00:17:38]  Because of his issues with what he claims are Israelis manipulating intelligence that got us into the war.
[00:17:47]  So that's sort of, it's like there's two sides to every situation.
[00:17:52]  But when it comes to the Pentagon and the Department of War, there's like 12 sides to every conflict and issue.
[00:17:58]  And so this is why I like to, you know, play a little bit from each person on every side so we can all try to understand the big picture.
[00:18:08]  We also have the main, you know, topic of today's.
[00:18:13]  Budget hearing was in fact the budget, and a lot of questions came out from some of the members of Congress there asking specifically how much has this Iranian conflict really cost us so far.

=== China Trade And War Costs (10:37) ===

[00:18:26]  And here's what the Pentagon had to say.
[00:18:29]  Take a listen.
[00:18:31]  The $1.5 trillion budget request put forward by the president will build upon the historic $1 trillion FY26 top line and will continue to reverse the four years of underinvestment and mismanagement of the Biden administration.
[00:18:46]  The $1.5 trillion budget will ensure the United States continues to maintain the world's most powerful and capable military as we grapple with a complex threat environment across multiple theaters.
[00:18:58]  Not to mention, the budget also includes a historic troop pay increase, building on the pay increases this committee has given, and the budget eliminates all poor or failing barracks.
[00:19:10]  Quality of life for our troops is front and center in this budget.
[00:19:16]  So that was not the clip I was thinking it was, but it was a good one.
[00:19:20]  But I will say the Pentagon requesting a $1.5 trillion budget.
[00:19:25]  We have to remember that as a nation, like I'm just of the mind that there is no amount of money that is too much to spend on national defense, right?
[00:19:34]  It's like saying, as a family, how much money are you willing to spend to protect your home and your family and your children from the threats outside your home, right?
[00:19:43]  There's never enough.
[00:19:44]  You can never be too safe, too secure, have too much ammo.
[00:19:48]  And so, as a nation, we really want to make sure that we're adequately funding our military.
[00:19:54]  And so, I personally think a $1.5 trillion budget, we want to make sure that every battle the U.S. faces, we're going into it with an unfair advantage.
[00:20:03]  We want to win.
[00:20:04]  We don't want to put ourselves in a position where our adversaries are stronger than us.
[00:20:10]  And so, I just want to stress that because it is true under the Obama administration and the Biden administration, they shrank our military, they shrank our nuclear warheads, they didn't invest into it.
[00:20:22]  And they made us weaker on a global scale so that our military, in essence, could be surpassed by the likes of China or other nations that seek to have control over our people.
[00:20:33]  And so, this is something that I really want to stress whether you're for or against wars, you got to remember our military is our military.
[00:20:40]  When our men and women sign up and they serve, they serve under Obama, they served under Biden, they served under Trump, and they're going to serve under the next president and the president after that.
[00:20:49]  And so, what we need to make sure our military has is adequate funding.
[00:20:53]  So, they can do their job for decades to come.
[00:20:57]  So, moving on, another topic that recently came about was in particular having to do with Mark Kelly, one of the original seditious six.
[00:21:07]  We have this tweet here from Secretary Hegseth going at him on social media where he said, Captain, in quotes, Mark Kelly strikes again.
[00:21:16]  Now he's blabbing on TV falsely and dumbly about a classified Pentagon briefing he received.
[00:21:23]  Did he violate his oath again?
[00:21:26]  Department of War legal counsel will review.
[00:21:29]  And what that is in response to, Mark Kelly actually shared a tweet as well, responding to the secretary.
[00:21:38]  And we have, let's see, do we have that on here?
[00:21:41]  Do we have the, oh, there we go.
[00:21:42]  We had this conversation, he says, in a public hearing a week ago, and you said it would take years to replenish some of these stockpiles.
[00:21:50]  That's not classified.
[00:21:51]  It's a quote from you.
[00:21:52]  This war is coming at a serious cost, and you and the president still have.
[00:21:56]  Haven't explained to the American people what the goal is.
[00:21:59]  Let's go ahead and play that video because he doesn't really accurately describe what's being said, but let's take a listen.
[00:22:08]  Oh, actually, we don't have that video.
[00:22:10]  But anyway, in short, it's just another attempt to sort of like misinterpret the actual words that are said.
[00:22:17]  So it's always important when you do see stuff like that to watch videos because I can't tell you how many times on social media when you read a caption, That's allegedly describing a video that is attached to it.
[00:22:31]  Oftentimes, when you watch the video, you'll realize that the caption is actually very disingenuous.
[00:22:37]  And so, in this age that we're in of information warfare, it's always so, so, so important to do your own homework, do your own research, and just fact check every little thing.
[00:22:48]  Because once you uncover a particular person, journalist, influencer, whatever you want to call it, and they're misrepresenting videos, you know to unfollow those people because they're not a credible.
[00:23:00]  Source of information.
[00:23:02]  So, just a little tip for you guys as we continue down in our coverage here.
[00:23:08]  We've been going around the world.
[00:23:11]  And now, our final spot here we're going to talk about is China.
[00:23:15]  And so, as many of you know, President Trump is on his way today to go to a summit in China.
[00:23:20]  We have this tweet the president put out this morning where he said, I am very much looking forward to my trip to China, an amazing country, he says, with a leader, President Qi, respected by all.
[00:23:34]  Great things will happen for both countries, President Donald J. Trump.
[00:23:39]  Now, Laura Ingram of Fox News was pretty alarmed yesterday.
[00:23:46]  She put out this tweet, quoting a story that says Mr. Trump and Xi Jinping are reportedly considering a deal to allow China to invest $1 trillion in the U.S., largely to build factories on American soil.
[00:24:03]  Trump on the verge of making massive errors, she says, against.
[00:24:07]  AIDS advice.
[00:24:09]  That's the report.
[00:24:10]  So this is unconfirmed.
[00:24:11]  We don't know what's going to happen.
[00:24:14]  There's been a lot of talk over the years just of China not playing fair when it comes to trade and a number of other issues.
[00:24:23]  There's no bigger critic of China than Steve Bannon.
[00:24:28]  And we're going to go ahead and play a soundbite here from Steve weighing in on this potential deal and trip to China.
[00:24:36]  So let's take a listen.
[00:24:38]  They unleashed a bioweapon on the United States of America.
[00:24:41]  I want to know is the meaning, talk about reparations they have for us, the trillions of dollars they left?
[00:24:46]  A bioweapon that is incontrovertible that they let it out from the Wuhan lab or it leaked out while they were working on it.
[00:24:55]  And now they've hacked into 2020 to defeat Trump.
[00:25:01]  The Chinese Communist Party is 1 million percent, 1 million percent against President Trump, against the MAGA movement, against Lao Beijing, against the citizens of this country.
[00:25:15]  And the businessmen are taking over are.
[00:25:18]  Categorically, those businesses that have helped destroy the middle class and working class in this country.
[00:25:27]  So, you heard it right there.
[00:25:28]  So, this whole meeting in China is going to be really interesting to follow because the President Trump, his first administration, I'll never forget, they really, really cracked down on Chinese espionage.
[00:25:41]  And there were Chinese nationals arrested at the airport in Boston, not too far from where I lived, trying to sneak vials of research out of the Out of the country.
[00:25:52]  And so, you know, when you talk about these potential trade deals and allowing China to come in, you know, where is the line that we have to draw, right?
[00:26:02]  Because we know China doesn't play by the rules.
[00:26:05]  They have this whole program.
[00:26:07]  It's actually called the Thousand Talents Plan, where they look for key people in key industries and they steal proprietary information and they pay you to basically steal not just from the US, they've done it in Australia, they've done it to really any country that they want to take information from.
[00:26:25]  They're okay with breaking rules and creating unfair environments in order to steal proprietary information.
[00:26:32]  So it'll be interesting to see if this whole trillion dollar investment deal does actually manifest itself.
[00:26:42]  But I know President Trump, more than anyone, is aware of China's behavior.
[00:26:47]  In fact, the DOJ recently announced that they arrested a mayor in California.
[00:26:54]  If we can go ahead and put this on the screen, it says Arcadia, California.
[00:26:59]  Mayor federally charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People's Republic of China.
[00:27:06]  The DOJ's press release says Eileen Wang, 58 of Arcadia, is charged via information with one count of acting in the United States as an illegal agent of a foreign government.
[00:27:20]  In a related filing, Wang has agreed to plead guilty to felony count, which comes with a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
[00:27:29]  She is expected to make her initial appearance this afternoon in U.S. District. Court in downtown Los Angeles, and she's expected to plead guilty in the coming weeks.
[00:27:39]  So, this is just one of many people that have infiltrated as agents for the People's Republic of China.
[00:27:46]  We know there was a whole election integrity case right out of Los Angeles as well with the company Connect that was accused of stealing proprietary information on our elections.
[00:27:58]  So, again, another thing to watch here.
[00:28:01]  And finally, we have this tweet from Nick Sortor.
[00:28:06]  Really showing you guys who President Trump is going to China with.
[00:28:09]  And he says Elon Musk will also be joining President Trump as part of this U.S. delegation to China this week.
[00:28:15]  Important to know Elon has a Tesla factory out there in China, so he's no stranger to doing business with them.
[00:28:23]  And also joining him is Larry Culp, CEO of GE Aerospace.
[00:28:28]  You have Dina Powell McCormick, the president and vice chairman of Meta, Larry Fink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock, and many, many others.
[00:28:38]  So a big business team there accompanying him to China.
[00:28:42]  So it's certainly going to Be a summit to watch.
[00:28:45]  And we'll have all of that information for you right here on Lindell TV.
[00:28:49]  But before we go to our next segment and Kara Castronova joins us from the White House, we're going to take a quick commercial break and we will be right back.
[00:29:02]  Mike Lindell here.

=== Protecting Your Money And Freedom (03:11) ===

[00:29:03]  The radical left and the deep state aren't just coming for our freedoms, they're coming after our money too.
[00:29:09]  For years, they've been destroying our economy from the inside out with reckless spending, open borders, woke policies that crush our businesses.
[00:29:18]  And now they've left us with an inflation disaster that's wiping out the savings of our hardworking families.
[00:29:25]  They don't want us to be independent.
[00:29:26]  They want us to be dependent on the government.
[00:29:29]  Well, that's not going to happen on my watch.
[00:29:32]  That's why I partner with American Independence Gold.
[00:29:36]  It's a veteran owned company that's helping patriotic Americans fight back by protecting our savings with real physical gold and silver.
[00:29:46]  And right now they're giving away up to $15,000 in free silver.
[00:29:50]  And a free gold IRA kit.
[00:29:53]  A portion of all the profits go to 9 11 first responders and veterans at the Tunnels to Towers Foundation.
[00:30:00]  The deep state can't touch your gold, so visit MikeLindellGold.com or call 844 714 4653 right now.
[00:30:12]  That's MikeLindellGold.com.
[00:30:14]  Take back control.
[00:30:17]  You know, most people think water's just about filtration, but in reality, it's about balance.
[00:30:23]  What gets removed, what gets left behind, and how the water actually behaves once you drink it.
[00:30:28]  Well, many traditional systems focus on one thing removal.
[00:30:32]  Reverse osmosis, for example, strips water down completely.
[00:30:36]  It may sound ideal, but it removes minerals that our bodies need.
[00:30:40]  The Sentry Wellness System was designed with a different philosophy.
[00:30:45]  It removes common contaminants like chlorine, fluoride, and PFAS while restoring key minerals like magnesium and improving alkalinity.
[00:30:55]  It also does all this without tanks and without wastewater and without requiring a complicated installation.
[00:31:01]  It installs in about 15 minutes under your sink, so instead of overcorrecting, it brings your water back into balance.

[00:31:17]  Well, hello everyone.
[00:31:19]  Well, I'm turning 65, and let me tell you, Medicare has me confused.
[00:31:24]  Bill and the robocalls and everything else, it honestly feels like they break the system just to confuse us.
[00:31:30]  Well, that's why I partnered and working with Chapter.
[00:31:34]  They're independent and they don't work for big insurance, they work for us.

[00:33:18]  I would greatly appreciate it.
[00:33:22]  But moving on to our next segment, I know we kind of went around the world in our first segment.
[00:33:27]  We were covering Iran and Cuba and Mexico and then China.
[00:33:33]  And speaking of China, as many of you know, one of the big things to come out of China was the coronavirus.
[00:33:41]  And Rand Paul has taken to social media over the last few days, really saying that the statute of limitations was running out on the ability to prosecute Anthony Fauci and his role.
[00:33:52]  In the entire pandemic, we have a sound bite from Rand Paul on Fauci and his work over the years trying to get this man held accountable.
[00:34:01]  Take a listen.
[00:34:12]  Do you think it's a great success what's happened so far?
[00:34:15]  Do you think the lockdown is good for our kids?
[00:34:17]  Do you think we slowed down the death rate?
[00:34:19]  More people have died now under President Biden than they did under President Trump.
[00:34:26]  You are the one responsible.
[00:34:27]  You are the architect.
[00:34:28]  You are the lead architect for the response from the government.
[00:34:31]  And now 800,000 people have died.
[00:34:40]  Do you really think it's appropriate to use your $420,000 salary to attack scientists that disagree with you?
[00:34:47]  I did not do that.
[00:34:48]  You think your takedown of three prominent epidemiologists was not political?
[00:34:53]  The truth wasn't so important.
[00:34:55]  It was the business of science.
[00:34:57]  We've looked at the communications, and in Anthony Fauci's communications, we now have evidence that he was telling people like Francis Collins, read this and destroy it.
[00:35:06]  But I don't like the idea that the people making decisions in government are also receiving money and are now conflicted in their interest.
[00:35:12]  You sit here.
[00:35:13]  And act as if you've never heard of myocarditis and you don't think it's an increased risk for young adolescent males.
[00:35:18]  I'd like to enter into the record six peer reviewed papers from the Journal of Vaccine, the Annals of Medicine, that say the complete opposite of what you say.
[00:35:26]  I also spoke with your president just last week and he readily acknowledged in private that yes, there is increased risk of myocarditis.
[00:35:34]  The fact that you can't say it in public is quite disturbing.
[00:35:43]  So there you have it.
[00:35:44]  You know, The vaccines have been a hot topic.
[00:35:47]  So it'll be interesting to see if when President Trump heads to China, maybe that virus will be one of the topics of discussion.
[00:35:55]  Trump has weighed in recently on the issue of vaccines, right?
[00:35:59]  So the vaccine issue is really two parts.
[00:36:02]  It's first, you have the experimental COVID jab that was forced on people.
[00:36:06]  Pentagon even announced this past week that they were creating a COVID task force, COVID vaccine task force to handle all the issues it caused with the military.
[00:36:17]  And bringing people back that left who didn't get the vaccine.
[00:36:21]  But the second issue is the vaccines that were already on the books prior to the COVID vaccine, all of the vaccines for children.
[00:36:30]  And this is something Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been speaking out about, alleging that some of them may even be causing autism in children.
[00:36:39]  And so we have a soundbite here from President Trump really weighing in on, in particular, the childhood vaccines.
[00:36:46]  Take a listen.
[00:36:48]  I believe in vaccines, but I don't believe that you have to have a mandate for all of them.
[00:36:53]  The polio vaccine is amazing.
[00:36:55]  It's wiped it out.
[00:36:57]  I believe in vaccines, but I think we were up to 88 vaccines.
[00:37:01]  I really feel that vaccines, if they were given in smaller quantities, they want to cut some out, and that's good too.
[00:37:08]  I agree with that.
[00:37:09]  82 is too many.
[00:37:10]  If you look at Denmark and other countries, you have 12, 14, I think 17.
[00:37:18]  We have like 82.
[00:37:20]  But I look at these beautiful little babies and they get a vat, I mean, like a big glass of stuff pumped into their bodies.
[00:37:31]  And I think it's a very negative thing to do.
[00:37:35]  And I would like to see it.
[00:37:37]  I'm not doing this in terms of Bobby or not.
[00:37:39]  I hope they agree with that, but that's just my opinion.
[00:37:42]  I would love to see much smaller shots, like four visits to the doctor.
[00:37:49]  And I think you would have a much better result with the autism.
[00:37:56]  That's some powerful stuff to hear from the president because these childhood vaccines have just been normalized for so long and the research surrounding them suppressed that it really has taken all of this time to reach that cultural paradigm shift toward the vaccines.
[00:38:15]  I mean, people that used to say this a decade ago were, you know, labeled conspiracy theorists and crazy.
[00:38:22]  And now you have the president of the free world telling you that.
[00:38:27]  You need to reduce the number of these vaccines for these babies because it's potentially causing autism.
[00:38:33]  So, there's a lot coming out about these vaccines now that the attention that it deserves is being given to the issue.
[00:38:42]  One of the biggest fighters in Congress on this particular issue has been Senator Johnson.
[00:38:48]  And he's had a number of different panels, not just on the COVID vaccine, but the child vaccines as well.
[00:38:55]  And these whistleblowers actually exposed that there were financial incentives in place for pediatricians to vaccinate children.
[00:39:05]  I want you to take a listen to this.
[00:39:08]  What is the truth?
[00:39:09]  Because I hear back and forth.
[00:39:10]  I mean, do pediatricians get incentivized with percent vaccination of their?
[00:39:15]  Yes.
[00:39:16]  Dr. Paul Thomas has done a very good video on that, and many other pediatricians have followed.
[00:39:20]  Maybe Dr. Hooker could answer better on that.
[00:39:24]  Yeah, they're typically incentivized directly by HMOs.
[00:39:28]  HMOs buy and sell vaccines, so vaccines are big businesses for HMOs.
[00:39:33]  But the incentivization is usually anywhere from.
[00:39:38]  $200 to $600 per fully vaccinated patient, as long as their vaccines, a certain percentage of their practice is fully vaccinated.
[00:39:47]  So some pediatricians can make upwards to a million or more a year just in those incentives.
[00:39:55]  I've also heard stories of pediatricians basically firing patients because they won't get vaccinated.
[00:39:59]  Because that'll.
[00:40:00]  That's correct.
[00:40:01]  We hear that story over and over again.
[00:40:03]  And also the lies that the pediatrician tells us that our baby will die if we don't get.
[00:40:08]  Vitamin K at birth.
[00:40:09]  The baby will bleed out before it gets to the car.
[00:40:11]  And these stories, if you don't get the HPV vaccine, then you will die of cancer.
[00:40:15]  These parents have told us these stories and they're the same over and over again.
[00:40:19]  How can they get away with lying like that to us, the parents?
[00:40:21]  I mean, it's absolutely disgusting when you hear that.
[00:40:26]  As a mom, it just like enrages me to hear her say that doctors can make a million dollars per year to vaccinate these children.
[00:40:37]  I mean, what does that say about us as a nation when we have a medical industry that has a Financial incentive to jab perfectly healthy babies with vaccines that doesn't even have scientific data to back up their effectiveness.
[00:40:54]  I mean, it's just, it's truly outrageous.
[00:40:58]  And another doctor who is equally as outraged about all of this information coming out, Dr. McCullough, and he actually spoke about how autism is actually a bigger threat to kids statistically than polio ever was.
[00:41:13]  Take a listen.
[00:41:15]  Do you know there are more kids severely disabled with autism than there ever was with polio?
[00:41:21]  Wow.
[00:41:22]  Autism is way bigger of a public health problem than polio.
[00:41:26]  And it's fast.
[00:41:27]  So, what do we learn?
[00:41:29]  The kids are born normal, it's very importantly.
[00:41:31]  So, they start out normal.
[00:41:33]  There are some predisposing factors.
[00:41:36]  And this is happening nowadays older parents.
[00:41:39]  So, a man over 40, a woman over 35, a baby born prematurely before 37 weeks.
[00:41:45]  Remember, we have NICUs that can save the babies.
[00:41:48]  Common genetic variants, but the genetic variants are not pinpoint.
[00:41:52]  They're things that 25 or 50% of us have, anyways.
[00:41:55]  There's nothing that's very notable.
[00:41:59]  And then maternal exposures.
[00:42:02]  So, if a mother takes, let's say, a serious psychiatric medicine, an antidepressant, heavy antidepressant, and antipsychotic for full nine months every day, or an antiseizure medication, it can affect brain development.
[00:42:21]  So there you have it.
[00:42:22]  So much information coming out about these vaccines.
[00:42:25]  And it's just such an honor to be able to work for Lindell TV and get to share this information with you guys because it hasn't been coming out for decades.
[00:42:34]  And you know why it hasn't come out?
[00:42:37]  Because the pharmaceutical companies, as we've said many times on this network, buy silence by paying advertising money to the quote unquote news networks, right?
[00:42:49]  The networks that are supposed to tell you what's good and bad for your family.
[00:42:53]  They're supposed to tell you the things you're supposed to know.
[00:42:55]  These legacy media networks are making deals with the devil.
[00:42:58]  They're Taking money and they're putting profits over people.
[00:43:02]  If you don't believe me, why don't you take a listen to this little montage here put together?
[00:43:07]  And it really sews the big picture together quite nicely.
[00:43:12]  So you're going to see a video here.
[00:43:15]  If you actually, before we do that, let's put this old headline up from CB News on the screen here.
[00:43:22]  It says CDC website is changed to include false claim about autism and vaccines.
[00:43:29]  Now, why would CBS News?
[00:43:32]  Not accurately report what's happening to children once they receive vaccines from pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer or COVID jabs.
[00:43:43]  Pfizer was one of the big companies.
[00:43:45]  Well, here's exactly why CBS and other networks just like it will never tell you about all the people that had the adverse reaction to the COVID jab, where they were just falling over during sports games, falling over during broadcasts, artists falling over, comedians falling over.
[00:44:06]  Just watch this video and it'll put it all into perspective.

=== AI Rivalry And Tech Delegation (12:01) ===

[00:45:30]  But moving forward to our last and final segment today, I think we actually have Kara Castronova over at the White House to give us the latest.
[00:45:40]  Oh, actually, we're waiting on Kara.
[00:45:42]  So while we do have Kara, maybe it was Pfizer screwing with us here a little bit.
[00:45:52]  Good to see you, Kara.
[00:45:54]  Good to see you too, Heather.
[00:45:56]  President Trump just took off for China.
[00:45:57]  So he left on Marine One a little while ago from the South Lawn.
[00:46:00]  A lot of reporters here, a lot of mayhem, as you can imagine.
[00:46:03]  We won't see the president, everyone will be in withdrawal syndromes, I think, this week because he is here often and we do get to see him a lot.
[00:46:11]  Everybody's sort of kind of wondering what they're going to do with their time for the next three days.
[00:46:14]  But a lot of reporters on the South Lawn taking questions about Iran, about the upcoming China trip, and a lot of things like oil prices.
[00:46:21]  President Trump had a notable exchange with an MS Now reporter saying that she was stupid or not a smart person when she asked about the ballroom.
[00:46:29]  You know, President Trump is very sensitive about that subject.
[00:46:31]  He thinks it's important.
[00:46:32]  And I believe she asked about the price and if he was overspending, and it made him very upset.
[00:46:38]  So that was notable.
[00:46:39]  That was the person I was standing next to.
[00:46:41]  It's really difficult to hear questions sometimes.
[00:46:43]  You have to review them later because the helicopter is so loud.
[00:46:46]  But President Trump, as you know, is departing for China.
[00:46:50]  This is a high stakes visit to Beijing where he will meet with President Xi.
[00:46:54]  From the 13th until the 15th of May.
[00:46:56]  So, long flight over there, as you can imagine.
[00:46:59]  President Trump will spend the next day traveling.
[00:47:02]  They're saying a lot of people, a lot of experts, that this could be one of the most consequential diplomatic summits of President Trump's second term, a much anticipated one.
[00:47:10]  As you know, this was scheduled for a couple of weeks, rather almost a month and a half ago, but got pushed because of the Iran war.
[00:47:17]  The agenda there is focused heavily on trade, artificial intelligence, rare earth minerals, tariffs.
[00:47:25]  Taiwan and broader U.S. China economic relations, while ongoing instability in the Middle East and the Iran conflict can also be expected to loom large over discussions.
[00:47:37]  Reports indicate both sides are seeking to stabilize tensions while pursuing strategic advantages and technology in global markets.
[00:47:44]  And what's interesting about this trip is the lineup of business, the business delegation that is lined up and expected to accompany the president.
[00:47:52]  That would include Elon Musk, Tesla, and space CEO.
[00:47:56]  Chief executive Elon Musk.
[00:47:58]  So that's a good sign.
[00:47:59]  Maybe he'll come back to the White House and we can see him here more often.
[00:48:02]  Apple CEO Tim Cook, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Citigroup CEO Jane Frazier, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, Blackstone CEO Steven Schwartzman, and executives of Meta, Calcom, Cisco, MasterCard, Visa, and Micron.
[00:48:22]  So that's a lot of business executives expected to head over there and maybe make some business deals along with the president and back him up.
[00:48:29]  With his trade relations with China.
[00:48:31]  Also, First Lady Melania Trump is expected to participate in portions of the visit, especially some of the ceremonies, the welcoming ceremonies.
[00:48:39]  So look for some footage of Melania Trump.
[00:48:42]  Chinese officials have confirmed the visit will include formal state events and meetings with Chinese leadership, top leadership.
[00:48:50]  Lastly, this trip marks President Trump's first visit to China since 2017, his first term in 2017.
[00:48:56]  And it comes at a particularly sensitive moment with U.S. and China relations, both nations navigating economic.
[00:49:03]  Competition, military tensions in Asia, and rapidly escalating AI and technological rivalry, which is why I'm assuming the president is bringing that large technology and business delegation with him over there to China.
[00:49:17]  So, looking forward to this week.
[00:49:19]  Most of these events will transpire on Thursday and Friday.
[00:49:22]  A lot of footage coming out of there.
[00:49:23]  And, of course, I'm sure closed door meetings with a lot of these business executives as well.
[00:49:29]  So, has there been any talk about the potential for President Trump to do an investment deal with China?
[00:49:37]  China, I know Laura Ingram had posted on social media some quote saying that President Trump was considering like a trillion dollar investment deal to allow China.
[00:49:46]  Have you heard any talk about that there at the White House?
[00:49:49]  Yeah, that is the case.
[00:49:51]  The president is looking to allow China, they're saying, to invest in the United States economy up to a trillion dollars.
[00:49:58]  So, yes, that is something that's being talked about.
[00:50:01]  I'm sure we'll hear more about it from the president as the week progresses, but it does look like something that the president is certainly looking forward to.
[00:50:10]  That's interesting, especially interesting because I know the Trump administration has been one of the top administrations to crack down really on the Chinese espionage.
[00:50:19]  We covered earlier in the show the DOJ announcing they just arrested that mayor there in Los Angeles, one of the not Los Angeles, but in California for being an agent for the People's Republic of China.
[00:50:34]  And then we have nonstop stories of sort of the corruption, right?
[00:50:39]  The coronavirus that we were just talking about before you came on.
[00:50:42]  How that got leaked out of the Wuhan lab and all the stories tying back to China, that it'll be interesting to see what sort of parameters the president puts in place in order to allow China to make this investment.
[00:50:56]  Because the other big issue with China is the buying up of the farmland next to the military installations and things like that.
[00:51:04]  So I'm just curious to see how this potential deal could manifest itself in a way that is going to be advantageous to the United States while still keeping China.
[00:51:16]  Sort of in its place.
[00:51:19]  Definitely.
[00:51:19]  I guess the details will come out on that and need to be scrutinized, certainly, especially the issue of the Chinese farmland investments.
[00:51:28]  It's concerning for a lot of Americans, as I'm sure you're well aware, but whatever the type of.
[00:51:34]  I think people would, I don't even want to say they would prefer AI investments or data investments.
[00:51:39]  Obviously, China isn't some, it's complicated when it comes to that just because of the espionage that we talked about earlier.
[00:51:46]  And the advancements in their AI and maybe capitalizing on the ground that the United States has gained when it comes to superior AI.
[00:51:58]  Trade secrets has always been an issue with China stealing trade secrets, whether it comes to making fake bags or literally copying our AI models.
[00:52:05]  So it should be interesting what comes out of this.
[00:52:07]  And when they say that, when they talk about that high number investment, exactly what that entails, Heather.
[00:52:14]  Yeah, the other thing that came out actually in today's.
[00:52:17]  Budget hearing with Secretary Hegseth and General Kane, they were asked specifically about some issues with Cuba.
[00:52:25]  And one of the questions they were asked was whether or not China actually had a presence that they were building out there in Cuba.
[00:52:33]  They said, you know, Cuba is one of the regional sponsors of terrorism.
[00:52:38]  And when asked that question, Secretary Hegseth, you know, sort of refused to answer, says, you know, he's not going to go over any classified information or anything like that.
[00:52:47]  So, I'm just curious if maybe the reason he didn't answer that was just sort of in anticipation of this trip to China.
[00:52:53]  I'm also curious to see if the Pentagon does their briefing this week or if they sort of halt it until next week so that they don't divulge anything until after the meeting in China.
[00:53:05]  Because, you know, a lot of people speculate that Iran is potentially a proxy for China and all of this.
[00:53:11]  China's been relatively quiet as the US has been engaged with this whole Iranian conflict.
[00:53:19]  Certainly, they care about the Strait of Hormuz as well.
[00:53:21]  So, a lot to sort of kind of monitor.
[00:53:25]  Has there been any talk over at the White House regarding, you know, how the situation in Iran has impacted China or their response to it?
[00:53:37]  Well, it's definitely affected China in many ways.
[00:53:40]  And I think that this week that will be something that will be highly discussed.
[00:53:45]  And you just mentioned Cuba a little while ago.
[00:53:47]  The president did put out an ex Post and a true social post about Cuba.
[00:53:51]  He's been hinting at this for a long time that something's going to happen with Cuba.
[00:53:54]  I think as soon as they hope things wrap up with Iran, he did put out a post stating that Cuba is asking for help and we have to help Cuba.
[00:54:02]  So, maybe it has something to do with Iran, like you mentioned, or China.
[00:54:08]  So, more to come on that.
[00:54:09]  I did actually want to ask him a question about that at that South Lawn departure, but I asked him something else about the states regarding oil taxes.
[00:54:18]  I actually asked him, would he consider asking governors to suspend the tax on gas right now, like he's doing federally?
[00:54:26]  He said he thought that was a great idea.
[00:54:29]  I did want to ask about Cuba, but it's really difficult to ascertain what I was asking.
[00:54:33]  And I did hear him talking from a distance about Cuba.
[00:54:35]  Like I said, it's hard to hear.
[00:54:37]  But I did think that he would want to speak on that.
[00:54:40]  He had put out that ex post, and I think more to come on Cuba.
[00:54:43]  I certainly think before the end of this term, there will be something that happens when it comes to Cuba, possibly in the near future, maybe over the summer, because the president has ramped up his comments on Cuba, whether it be on X or whether it's literally out in gaggles or something he'll just say randomly.
[00:55:03]  But I don't think that's a coincidence.
[00:55:04]  I think they're certainly ramping up to possibly go into Cuba, and not sure what they're going to do there, but he's saying that they need help.
[00:55:12]  Yeah, for sure.
[00:55:13]  I think you're on to something for sure.
[00:55:15]  So, final question, though, what can we expect for the rest of the week there at the White House since the president's going to be out of the country?
[00:55:23]  Well, it will be a pretty slow week at the White House.
[00:55:26]  People are excited about that.
[00:55:27]  I think all of the journalists here, like I said, will be going through Trump withdrawal syndrome.
[00:55:32]  Even the girls in the back are kind of saying to themselves, I think, wow, this is going to be a slow week here at the White House because they're usually fielding about 100 to 200.
[00:55:43]  Reporters, it's getting pretty crazy here when it comes to you could say the inner press drama, when it comes to lining up at doors, you know, just the inner drama that I feel very bad that these young girls have to deal with.
[00:55:57]  So I think it should be a slow week where people will rejuvenate.
[00:56:00]  I actually heard a reporter, and this is a Trump favorable reporter out by the Marine One.
[00:56:06]  We were waving goodbye to the president as he was getting on.
[00:56:08]  She's like, Don't write, we'll be here next week.
[00:56:11]  Like, have a great vacation.
[00:56:13]  Have a time because everybody's just exhausted because it is a taxi job covering this White House.
[00:56:18]  So it's Like everybody's signing off.
[00:56:19]  We were like, bye.
[00:56:20]  We'll see you.
[00:56:21]  We'll see you next week.
[00:56:22]  And then one of the girls next to me said, don't write.
[00:56:26]  And like I said, she's a Trump favorable reporter.
[00:56:28]  She was joking around, but more or less, like, we need a break.
[00:56:31]  We do need a break.
[00:56:32]  It's been a really hectic year with the Iran war and with everything happening and coming into the midterms.
[00:56:37]  We're sure it's going to get very busy.
[00:56:39]  So I think everybody here is just looking forward to a couple of slow days.
[00:56:44]  Well, I hope you enjoy the slow days, Kara, because you're doing great work there at the White House as always.
[00:56:51]  Thank you.
[00:56:51]  Thank you so much, Heather.
[00:56:53]  So are you.
[00:56:53]  I'll see you soon, hopefully, at the Pentagon.
[00:56:56]  Yeah, hopefully.
[00:56:57]  Hopefully.
[00:56:57]  Maybe it'll be next week.
[00:57:00]  I kind of have a funny feeling it's going to be next week, but thanks for covering me too while I was gone on vacation.
[00:57:06]  You did a great job as always.
[00:57:08]  Yeah, it's fun over there.
[00:57:09]  And I think it will be next week too, because Hegnos, Secretary of War, is testifying this week on the Hill.
[00:57:14]  So it's sort of like a briefing in and of itself because he is giving information.
[00:57:18]  So I'm speculating that the Pentagon briefing will likely be next week as well.
[00:57:22]  All eyes are on China right now and the president.
[00:57:24]  For the next couple of days.
[00:57:26]  Amen.
[00:57:27]  Well, keep us posted.
[00:57:28]  Thank you so much, Kara, for all you're doing.
[00:57:30]  Thank you, Heather.

=== Eyes On The China Summit (01:31) ===

[00:57:31]  Have a great show.
[00:57:32]  Thank you.
[00:57:34]  All right.
[00:57:34]  There you heard it there.
[00:57:36]  All eyes on China.
[00:57:38]  This really is going to be a summit to watch.
[00:57:41]  I mean, talk about the two global superpowers, China and America, having a summit together.
[00:57:48]  What sort of negotiations or collaborations are going to come out of that?
[00:57:53]  We'll have to see.
[00:57:54]  But again, China.
[00:57:56]  Notorious for not playing by the rules, notorious for stealing proprietary information.
[00:58:02]  And China has one agenda, and that's to benefit and elevate China, which, you know, President Trump has one agenda to benefit and, you know, fight for America.
[00:58:12]  So, like, there is that mutual respect, I think, between leaders there.
[00:58:17]  But again, you can only play for one team.
[00:58:20]  So, we'll have to keep you guys posted on what happens with that meeting.
