  • >> DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT

  • CANDIDATE AND SOCIALIST BERNIE

  • SANDERS SAID CHINA DID MORE TO

  • ADDRESS EXTREME POVERTY THAN ANY

  • COUNTRY IN HISTORY.

  • LISTEN.

  • >> WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT

  • CHINA, IN FAIRNESS TO CHINA ANDs

  • LEADERSHIP, IF I AM NOT

  • MISTAKEN, THEY HAVE MADE MORE

  • PROGRESS IN ADDRESSING EXTREME

  • POVERTY THAN ANY COUNTRY IN THE

  • HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION.

  • THEY HAVE DONE A LOT OF THINGS

  • FOR THEIR PEOPLE.

  • >> HE IS RIGHT.

  • ACCORDING TO THE WORLD BANK THE

  • NUMBER OF POUR IN CHINA WENT

  • DOWN TO LESS THAN 10 MILLION.

  • I WONDER HOW THEY DID THAT.

  • THE CHINESE SOCIALISTS KILLED

  • MILLIONS OF POOR PEOPLE.

  • DEAD PEOPLE ARE NOT POOR; JUST

  • DEAD.

  • THAT WAS THE GREAT LEAP FORWARD.

  • AFTER THEY USED A TOOL THAT

  • BERNIE SANDERS DESPISES,

  • CAPITALISM.

  • I WISH WAS THERE A VISUAL

  • METAPHOR FOR BERNIE SANDERS'S

  • ARGUMENT.

  • >> [LAUGHING].

  • >> I HAVE TO KEEP WATCHING THAT.

  • I DON'T KNOW WHY.

  • >> [LAUGHING].

  • >> IT WAS ONLY AFTER CHINA

  • ADOPTED FREE MARKET PRINCIPLES,

  • THAT THEY TRANSFORMED THEIR

  • ECONOMY.

  • >> A HOUSE HORRORS MORE HUMANE.

  • THOSE WHO SCREAM ABOUT

  • INEQUALITY AND CREATE EVEN MORE

  • INEQUALITY.

  • YOU END UP WITH 2 CLASSES.

  • THE POOR AND THE POWERFUL.

  • IT HAPPENED IN CHINA AND SEEMS

  • TO BE HAPPENING IN SAN

  • FRANCISCO, L.A. AND BALTIMORE

  • TOO.

  • CHINA WENT COMMUNIST RESULTING

  • IN MASS MURDER AND FORCED

  • ABORTION OF FEMALE BABIES AND

  • FAMINE.

  • THE NUMBER OF DEAD IN CHINA HAVE

  • TO BE COUNTED IN THE TENS OF

  • MILLIONS.

  • YES, PRAISE IS ORDER FOR CHINA

  • FOR ABANDONING BAD IDEAS.

  • MAYBE BERNIE SANDERS SHOULD DO

  • THE SAME.

  • >> YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT THIS

  • TOPIC.

  • IT BOTHERED YOU.

  • >> IT DID AND I LISTEN TO YOUR

  • MONOLOGUE.

  • AND I LOOK DO YOU KNOW WHAT I

  • WROTE DOWN.

  • I MIGHT HAVE BEEN SITTING NEXT

  • TO YOU FOR MANY YEARS.

  • I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO ADD.

  • BERNIE SANDERS SAID CHINA HAS

  • DONE A LOT FOR HIS PEOPLE.

  • NO IT'S TO HIS PEOPLE.

  • AND THIS QUASI-CAPITALISM.

  • THEY CREATED A HUGE

  • MIDDLE-CLASS.

  • WE SHOULD WANT TO SELL THEM A

  • LOT OF THINGS BECAUSE THEY HAVE

  • MONEY TO BUY.

  • WHAT IS UPSETING TO THEM THERE

  • IS NO RULE OF LAW AND THEY DON'T

  • HAVE PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS.

  • THEY WOULD LIKE TO TAKE

  • THEIRICAL TAP AND MOVE IT

  • SOMEWHERE ELSE?

  • WHERE DO THEY WANT TO PUT IT?

  • IN THE UNITED STATES BECAUSE

  • IT'S SAFE AND YOU HAVE RULE OF

  • LAW.

  • I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SOMEBODY IN

  • THE UNITED STATES STAND UP FOR

  • THE HUMAN RIGHTS PROBLEMS.

  • BERNIE SANDERS DOESN'T TALK

  • ABOUT THAT AT ALL IN THE

  • INTERVIEW.

  • I DON'T SEE HOW THE DEMOCRATS

  • ARE DIFFERENTIATING THEMSELVES

  • FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP AS ALL ON

  • CHINA.

  • THE PRESIDENT, HOWEVER, HAS

  • STARTED, IN THE STATE OF THE

  • UNION, HE SAID THE UNITED STATES

  • WILL NEVER BE A SOCIALIST

  • COUNTRY.

  • THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING ANYTHING

  • TO STOP THAT.

  • >> THEY ARE JUST MOVING

  • LEFTWARD, JUAN.

  • THAT'S NOT A QUESTION, I ADMIT

  • IT.

  • >> [LAUGHING].

  • >> I AM GLAD YOU ADMIT IT.

  • OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE VERY

  • CHINESE OF YOU.

  • I THINK BERNIE SANDERS IS

  • SPEAKING AGAINST THE HEAVY

  • HANDED USE OF TARIFFS WHICH IS

  • DRIVING THE WHOLE ECONOMY TO THE

  • VERGE OF RECESSION AND DAMAGING

  • THE CHINESE ECONOMY.

  • HE IS SAYING THERE IS AN

  • OPPORTUNITY FOR CLOSER TIES

  • BETWEEN THE U.S. AND CHINA.

  • WE DON'T HAVE TO DEMONIZE THEM

  • AS EVIL AND TERRIBLE.

  • IF IT'S NOT THE FEDERAL RESERVE,

  • THE CHINESE PRESIDENT IS OUR

  • ENEMY.

  • HE IS TRYING TO GET OUT OF THAT

  • MIND SET.

  • YOU ARE RIGHT TALKING ABOUT

  • CHINA MAKING PROGRESS.

  • MAYBE YOU ARE GIVING TOO MUCH

  • CREDIT TO THE CHINESE

  • GOVERNMENT.

  • AFTER THE TORTURE AND THE

  • MURDER, THEN YOU SEE THE CHINESE

  • PEOPLE START TO RISE UP WITH THE

  • OPPORTUNITY TO EMPLOY FREE

  • MARKET IDEAS LIKE PROPERTY AND

  • INVESTMENTS AND BRINGING IN

  • AMERICAN COMPANIES.

  • IT'S STILL THE CASE.

  • YOU CAN SEE IT FROM THE NEWS WE

  • HAVE TODAY ABOUT HONG KONG AND

  • THE PROTESTS.

  • YOU CAN SEE IT IN TERMS OF NO

  • FREE PRESS.

  • YOU CAN SEE IT AND UNDERSTAND IT

  • IN TERMS OF REPRESSION AND HOW

  • THEY TREAT THE MUSLIM MINORITY

  • IN CHINA.

  • THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT IS STILL

  • HEAVY HANDED.

  • I GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR 3/4 OF

  • REDUCTION FOR GLOBAL POVERTY HAS

  • BEEN IN CHINA.

  • BERNIE SANDERS IS SPEAKING LESS

  • ABOUT THAT, THAN WHY CAN'T WE

  • WORK WITH CHINA INSTEAD OF USING

  • TARIFFS THAT IS NOT TO OUR

  • ADVANTAGE?

  • IT'S HURTING OUR ECONOMY AND

  • GERMANY AND CHINA'S ECONOMY.

  • >> I WOULD LOVE TO SEE BERNIE

  • SANDERS GET ON AN AIRPLANE AND

  • MAKE THAT SPEECH IN HONG KONG.

  • THEY CONTINUE TO PRAISE THESE

  • COMMUNIST COUNTRIES.

  • IF HE WAS NOT PRAISING CHINA, HE

  • WAS PRAISING VENEZUELA OR

  • PRAISING RUSSIA.

  • HE IS A LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATIC

  • PARTY AND NOT EVEN IN IT.

  • HE IS A DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST.

  • WHAT HE HAS TO UNDERSTAND IS THE

  • DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT HE IS

  • DOING AND DONALD TRUMP IS DOING

  • IS SHOWING THE POSITIVE THINGS

  • OF CAPITALISM.

  • IT CAN BE BETTER, BUT IT LIFTED

  • MORE PEOPLE UP OUT OF POVERTY

  • AND PROVIDED MORE WEALTH IN THE

  • HISTORY OF THE WORLD THAN

  • ANYTHING ELSE.

  • YET HE CAN'T BRING HIMSELF TO

  • ACTUALLY GIVE CAPITALISM THE

  • CREDIT IT DESERVES.

  • >> EMILY, YOU HATE CAPITALISM?

  • >> BERNIE SANDERS IS SUCH A

  • FARCE.

  • HE COMES ON AND SAYS MAKE A

  • STRONG STATEMENT FOR DEMOCRACY

  • AND HUMAN RIGHTS AND THIS IS

  • NOT.

  • WE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT THE

  • CONCENTRATION CAMPS.

  • WOULD BERNIE SANDERS RECOGNIZE

  • TAIWAN AS A COUNTRY?

  • THIS IS SO MUCH HE FAILED TO

  • ADDRESS THAT CHINA REPRESENTS.

  • HE SHOT DOWN THE THREAT QUESTION

  • AS WELL.

  • WHY AREN'T WE HEARING HIS

  • POSITION ON CHINA'S STATED

  • PURPOSE OF NUCLEAR AND TRADE

  • POWER ON THE ARCTIC CIRCLE

  • COUNCIL.

  • IN 2017 THEIR PRESIDENT SAID

  • CHINA WILL BE A GLOBAL POWER AND

  • THEY WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR

  • COMPAT CAPABILITY.

  • HE SAID WE WILL NEVER SWALLOW

  • THIS BITTER FRUIT OF DOWN

  • GRADING OUR INTERESTS FOR THE

  • PURPOSE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S

  • BENEFIT.

  • FOR BERNIE SANDERS TO SAY THEY

  • ARE NOT A THREAT TO US OR WON'T

  • PUT THEMSELVES FIRST AND IGNORE
