"This Makes Me EXTREMELY Uncomfortable" - Trump SHOCKS With 600,000 Chinese Students Announcement
29 Aug 2025
Chapter 1: What does Trump's announcement about 600,000 Chinese students mean?
So Trump opens up the door to 600,000 Chinese students amid Beijing trade talks. So first, Trump threatens 200% tariffs on China over a key part that shut down U.S. car plants. Okay, so this is straight up the same day. He's doing this. He's doing the other side. He says, Trump says, if I wanted to destroy China, I would, but I want to have a great relationship with them.
Chapter 2: What are the implications of 200% tariffs on China?
Rob, I know I just called you G, Rob. If we have a couple of these clips, I want to go through it. Is this one I want to have a good relationship with them? This is the 200% tariffs. I also have that one as well. Okay, so let's go with the 200% tariffs, and we'll go through these, and we'll react. Very strong relationship, Howard, I would say, economically with China now, getting much better.
They have to give us magnets. If they don't give us magnets, then we have to charge them 200% tariff or something, you know? But we're not going to have a problem, I don't think, with that. I think that's perhaps behind us. You know, China intelligently went and they sort of took a monopoly of the world's magnets.
Chapter 3: How does Trump's negotiation style affect U.S.-China relations?
And nobody needed magnets until they convinced everybody 20 years ago, let's all do magnets. There were many other ways that the world could have gone. But so far, it'll take us probably a year to have them. We're heavy into the world of magnets now, only from a national security standpoint. But we have a powerful thing. It's airplane parts. They have many Boeing jets.
You know, they had 200 jets that didn't fly. And I've sent them all based on his word. I sent them all of the parts so their planes can fly. I could have held them back. I didn't do that because of the relationship I have. And their planes are now flying. You know, we had 200 of their planes were unable to fly because we were not giving them Boeing parts purposely because they weren't giving.
You can pause that right there. So he's doing this. He's doing the Trump negotiation thing. The Magnus, they convince, I hope they don't do that. We'll see. If they don't, 200% tariffs.
Chapter 4: What role do magnets play in U.S.-China trade discussions?
We don't want to do that. We want to have a good relationship. And this is what? This is him and Xi? This is where he says he could destroy China. Go ahead. In front of them. I mean, it's happening. You see it. It's happening. They have some cards. We have incredible cards, but I don't want to play those cards. If I played those cards, that would destroy China. I'm not going to play those cards.
It's so typical of Trump. Oh, the guy's sitting right there. You saw the face of the other guy? The other guy's just like... So, Tom, three things here. 600,000 Chinese students. Rob, do you have that one? That's this one right here. Go ahead. Keep going. President Xi would like me to come to China. It's a very important relationship.
As you know, we're taking a lot of money in from China because of the tariffs and different things. And it's a very important relationship. We're going to get along good with China. I hear so many stories about we're not going to allow their students. We're going to allow their students to come in. We're going to allow, it's very important, 600,000 students. It's very important.
But we're going to get along with China. But it's a different relationship that we have. Tom, three topics. Specifically China relationship, 600,000 students, 200% tariffs. Thoughts on this? So first of all, the president's making nothing signed, and the president is trying to set the table to have a relationship with China or to have some kumbaya here to get to the real meat.
This is just the hors d'oeuvres and the salad. The meat of the meal is the big-time trade deal and what's going on, and magnets is one of the key items. That's why he's bringing it up. Chips is one of the others. Security for Taiwan is one of the others. So there is a big negotiation coming up. Step one, make everybody feel good.
However, in one of these steps, 600,000 students coming to the U.S., China has been trying to get more students here as part of their cradle-to-the-grave spy program. And so it seemed to me that if we suddenly open the doors to 600,000 Chinese students... Good grief. They buy up land next to our military bases. They're buying up farmland.
It seems to me that this particular item, I want to see the fine print PBD, but it would concern me that you're basically giving them the ability to say, oh, these 600,000 students, but some of them, were obviously spy plans. And so that makes me kind of nervous because I know what he's trying to do. Relationship first. We've got a good relationship. Get some parts for airplanes.
Step one, get the big trade deal. But along the way, this to me just seems very... The 600 makes you uncomfortable? Yeah, it makes me damn uncomfortable because they're trying to get here. Do you think that is... One of the chips that China is putting in here that in order for them to agree to XYZ, you have to allow 600,000 of our students to come to you.
They get trained here and then come back to China. Do you think that's one of China's important asks? I think so. Okay. Because I know that Xi thinks long. I know. China thinks long term. We only have three and a half years left with President Trump. And that's a long time for him. But a longer time is these Chinese students in the next 30 years are going to be in politics.

Chapter 5: Why are 600,000 Chinese students a potential security concern?
When this guy comes to freaking San Francisco, you toss out all the homeless people and wave. Chinese flags, not American flags. I'm not with it at all, bro. And I get everybody's always like, you love Trump. No, no. I'm calling him out. I don't like it. Yesterday we were having a conversation. I was obviously joking. And I said, there's the emotional voter, there is the logical voter, okay?
And we all first start off with which one? Emotion. All of us. 100%. Me more than anybody. No, no, not you. I'm just saying every one of us. Of course. One of the things that... what is the benefit of being a comedian? We emotionally fall in love with you.
Like I have emotionally fallen in love with, when I sat in my bed and I'm showing all the clips to Jen, 30 clips back to back to back, and I'm laughing my ass off, I'm in the office, I'm like, this guy's freaking good. I love this guy. I've never met you in my life. I don't know who you are. I didn't even know there was an Assyrian comedian. Then you come in,
And then we said, and then the relationship logically is like this could actually turn into something, right? Okay. Think, put a business hat on. Even though you've not been in business, you're making more money than you've ever made before in your life. So it's a special month, half a million. I know what's coming. All this stuff that you're doing, right?
You're actually finally making real money for yourself. Okay. So- You have the offer. I'm asking to represent America long-term threats. You're saying China's long-term threat. You're trying to negotiate with this country and get them to do certain things they typically wouldn't do. You have one of two choices. You want me to approve the C.K.
Hutchinson to allow BlackRock and whoever to buy it so it's a U.S.-owned property, the Panama Canal? Massive. The 43 ports? Very important. You have to allow me to send 600,000 students to be able to get educated in your country? Go to the school. Which of those two is more important to you?
The Hutchinson thing, so that means if the only thing to get that done was the 600, you'd have to do it on a business standpoint. But do you know why, though? Do you know why, though? So do you remember when all of a sudden we couldn't get chips for cars? You'd go to a Rolex store. They don't have any watches. You'd go to stores. There was nothing.
Used cars were selling more than brand-new cars because you just couldn't find anything, right? That's because there was no access to supply. What if all of a sudden China's like, oh, really? No problem. Close the canal. Now what? Slow things down 30 days. Give a headache to U.S. Now what do you do? Now you have to go 14,000 miles instead of 9,000 miles.
Now you have to go all the way down and come up versus boom and boom, come up, right? I think what we don't know that's being negotiated behind closed doors, we don't know what are the 20 things that are on the table.

Chapter 6: How does the U.S. plan to manage the influx of Chinese students?
We don't know. And you have to decide for yourself, negotiating on behalf of America, there's no way I'm giving up these five things. These five things, I can't have them believe we'll give them up. But we'll say, we'll think about it. But already in your mind, you're like, what? We'll give them up. No problem. But these five things we have to get. What are these five things?
These five things are da-da-da-da-da. I think that's kind of where they're at. And I don't like the 600,000. Makes me extremely uncomfortable. But if we're giving that up to get three things that are going to protect us more long-term for another black swan event to happen by China, I'm more interested in that. Adam, thoughts? So I just have a question for you, and then I'll make my point.
You know how we do the star system? which stands for what, systems, tech, action, or relationships, is that the form? Yeah, so people who are structured, like Tom, overly organized, people who are technical, like Tom, people who are action-oriented, competitive, psycho-competitors, and in R, relationship people, biz dev people. You're in R, you're a relationship guy.
Yeah, I'm also somewhat of an S guy. What do you think Trump is? A, all the way. A is Trump is A first. Yes. I would probably put his... R second. I would put A first. I would put... Probably SNR second to last. I agree. You know why S? Look at the way he dresses. Look at the way he likes glasses to be set when he's doing a video.
He is so organized and that needs things to be done in a certain way. He's a maniacal S, but his A is an aggressive A. Yeah, I actually agree with you. The reason I ask that is because he's go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. You know, they were playing a video the other day of him falling asleep when he got... I think Saudi, it's like, all right, after traveling for 15 hours, the guy does sleep.
But I think we can all appreciate how hard this guy works. I also agree with you that he's got a system to structure. But I would say that Trump is a big relationship guy. And if you're nice to him, he'll be nice to you. If you're mean to him, he'll be mean to you. That's pretty basic with Trump. He said nice things about me, Kim Jong-un, so now we're best friends. We understand that right there.
So with this relationship with China, who was that? Some higher up person in the Communist Party that came here. It wasn't she, obviously, right? That he was meeting with.

Chapter 7: What are the long-term impacts of allowing Chinese students into the U.S.?
Trump will say the exact opposite things about you in the same sentence. I love this guy. I'll kill him in a second if I have to, but I don't want to have to do that. I wouldn't do that. Love you, but I hate you. It doesn't matter. Yeah. He could be your best friend or he can be your worst enemy. He's a dealmaker and he's transactional.
So Shane Gillis did a great impression of Trump when he was on SNL. And it was like Trump doing the dating game. He's like, I think you're hot. I think you're great. And she goes, no, I'm not interested. You're ugly. You're disgusting. Why would I ever? He'll turn on you real quick. So if you want to play Trump.
Like, if you actually want to do a deal with Trump, you kind of have to kiss his butt. This is why we see these world leaders, like when he goes to Saudi, they put up a portable McDonald's, right? Okay, obviously pandering to Trump. Qatar gave the guy a plane. Right? The UK, when Keir Starmer came over here, he's like, this is very special.
We're giving you a free night's stay at Buckingham Palace. Nobody gets this. He's like, well, thank you. The guy from South Africa, he came over and he's like, we gave you a book. About golf, you could see it in Trump's face. He's kind of just like, I'd be happy with a golf course, not a book. But Trump is very transactional, and he's relationship-driven. I totally get it.
But, I mean, look, the reality of it is we don't have a clue what's going on behind closed doors and what's being negotiated. Once a year we get together, I can't wait to see everybody this year. This is going to be the biggest one by a mile. Record-breaking attendance coming to this event here from all over the world.
