=== Joe Biden's Tougher Stance? (02:19) ===

[00:00:00]  That the United States has to demand more from China.
[00:00:05]  Even Hank Paulson, former Goldman Sachs CEO, is kind of Mr. China engagement.
[00:00:11]  He has said that they have not lived up to their promises in terms of the trade relationship.
[00:00:19]  They've done very little, if anything, to stop the theft of American invention.
[00:00:27]  So I think you would hope that perhaps for political reasons, the Joe Biden you get post-Trump might be tougher than the Joe Biden you got as vice president.
[00:00:39]  And look, if this is a competition, the Trump economic policy has put the U.S. in a pretty good position here.
[00:00:48]  I know Biden is kind of talking now as if...
[00:00:51]  There's sort of this huge disaster that he will face when he comes into office and that we will need some massive government interventions to rescue the economy.
[00:01:01]  The fact is the table is set for a really strong rebound next year, especially with this amazing Operation Warp Speed triumph with the vaccines now rolling out something on the order of 8 million doses distributed this week.
[00:01:21]  The United States, I think, thanks in large part to Donald Trump, is going to be in pretty good shape as Joe Biden takes over.
[00:01:30]  Right, but Joe Biden just announced that our darkest hours are ahead.
[00:01:35]  Yeah, it's odd because he took the vaccine on Monday, which shows that much of what he said during the campaign was wrong, that Donald Trump did oversee a safe and quick vaccine approval.
[00:01:51]  He should understand, and therefore change his rhetoric as well, that the vulnerable population is going to be inoculated largely over the next several weeks.
[00:02:03]  Much of this work is going to be done by the time he's taking the oath of office.
[00:02:07]  So there is not a crisis, and he can thank Donald Trump for that in terms of there's not a great need for government intervention next year.
