They're effectively the Western way of war because they persuade liberal audiences, done everything you could do, so force is a last resort.
voice-verified
That's how you get the liberals on board.
voice-verified
For wars, they don't wanna fight.
voice-verified
Well, we don't have to look that far back.
voice-verified
Just go back a year because what the tariffs were on China were effectively economic sanctions.
voice-verified
So President Trump used the word tariffs.
voice-verified
But if you peel the onion and you look under the hood, they're exactly the trade cutoffs of sanctions.
voice-verified
So they're really not much different than sanctions at all.
voice-verified
In fact, they're identical.
voice-verified
And what happened?
voice-verified
China responded with cutting off rare earths.
voice-verified
And that may sound a little inside baseball to most people, but it's important to know that these things we call rare earths are not just dirt, but they show up in all the chips that we put in our cars.
voice-verified
I drive a RAV4.
voice-verified
You can't produce RAV4s here in Ohio or in the Midwest, in the American plants, if China cuts off those rare earths.
voice-verified
So this has much more dramatic consequences.
voice-verified
And I'm not at all surprised.
voice-verified
And what I've been saying China would do is they're just going to bluff it off.
voice-verified
They're just going to ignore this.
voice-verified
Now, if Scott Besson goes forward and truly cuts off China's banks...
voice-verified
then I think China is going to respond.
