The Chinese have gotten away with literally murder and with cheating and lying. And on some level, Trump respects it. It's like, okay, if you can get away with it, why not take advantage? But guess what? We're not going to let you, sorry, we can't let you get away with it anymore. He is brilliant. President Xi must understand this.

Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful yesterday was saying that we should slap 400% tariffs on China. And then Xi would be on a plane to DC to make a deal yesterday. It is about time. We confronted the bully in the schoolyard. And it is only President Trump who has the courage to do it. We need men and women of courage. And this president is a gift from God, not just to this nation, but to the world.

I'll tell you, Charlie, the real headline here, first of all, today, literally today, April 9th, is the 80th anniversary today of the death of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, one of the greatest heroes of the 20th century. He stood against the bullies and the monsters and the evil figures of his time fearlessly in the way that President Trump and others are standing up today.

Of course, Bonhoeffer way ahead of everybody. Why? Because he did it. to the point of death. He was killed by the Nazis. So he's the ultimate model of courage.

And we're living in a time right now where you have a lot of Christians out there, sort of Christians, who don't understand that if you do not live with heroic courage in the face of evil, if you don't stand up to bullies, if you don't say the thing that everybody's afraid to say, you're a coward and you're not serving God.

You can't fake it and say, well, I have faith if you're not behaving like you have faith. So Bonhoeffer is the ultimate hero. But the reason I wanted to come on your show today, Charlie, is because a lot of folks in the MAGA movement don't know this.

The Bonhoeffer film that came out in November, an amazing film, not officially tied to my book, but it is an amazing film about this amazing hero killed today, 80 years ago. That film was targeted by the left, mostly by the pro-Hamas, lunatic left. And they did everything they could to crush the film in the box office, and they were pretty successful. It's insane.

I don't want to give you the details. But I was stunned because this is a film made by people that are not pro-Trump people. They just said, we want to make a great film about Bonhoeffer. They made a great film partnering with Hollywood royalty to make a great film about this hero. And the radical left – did everything they could, pulled out all the stops to destroy the film.
