RUSH: Now, I wanted to move on to the China situation at present, and we\u2019ll be returning to previous subjects that we discussed when we head back to the phones in mere moments. But grab audio sound bite number 6. Last night, Victor Davis Hanson was on with Laura Ingraham on The Ingraham Angle. Her question: “China has been doing this near criminal behavior,” meaning the trade policy, “for a while now. But companies want to produce stuff more cheaply in Asia, and they don\u2019t want anybody to tinker with the way it has been.”<\/p>\n

\"\"Exactly the point that I have been making. We have been taking it on the chin to the tune of $500 billion a year for who knows how long \u2019cause it\u2019s just the way it is. It\u2019s the way we buy peace. It\u2019s the way we keep the ChiComs from getting mad at us. It\u2019s the way we penalize ourselves for being the world\u2019s lone superpower, and everybody\u2019s just gotten used to it now. She said nobody wants this tinkered with, and yet here\u2019s Trump tinkering with it. (summarized) “But what happens, Mr. Hanson, if this dynamic doesn\u2019t change? What is the alternative? If this trade deficit with the ChiComs is allowed to continue and this imbalance is allowed to continue, then what does it mean for us?”<\/p>\n

HANSON: He\u2019s doing something that\u2019s normal. He\u2019s sticking up for American interests. But everything has been so abnormal, that now being normal is considered abnormal. We have twice the GDP as China does with about one-third of the population. We have the biggest military in the world, the largest food exporter, the biggest energy producer. And this idea that we\u2019re weak or are gonna lose is absolutely absurd.<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s not that we\u2019re going to, it\u2019s that we should! We should lose. Not lose in the sense of being defeated, but we should be taking the short end of the stick, that that\u2019s the price you pay for being the world\u2019s lone superpower. You have to make sure you don\u2019t laud it over everybody. But he glossed over these stats. These are fundamentally important stats. We have twice the gross domestic product as does China, with one-third of the population.<\/p>\n

The Chinese have a billion people, and it is a massive, massive undertaking to get them all provided for. You\u2019re a communist country. The ChiComs have had to infuse their essential communist cultural structure with a capitalist-based — or not based, but a capitalist-tinged economy. They\u2019re doing business. They\u2019re allowing capitalist-based companies to come to China and do business there. They have to keep these people fed. They have to keep \u2019em occupied. They have to keep \u2019em busy.<\/p>\n

They have to do things to create jobs for all of these people. And despite that, despite the fact that we only have one-third the population, we have an economy twice as big. We have the biggest military in the world. We are the largest food exporter. We are now the biggest energy producer in the world. Yet we have to assume this position of weakness, because that\u2019s how it has been judged by the smartest of the smart, the best and the brightest in Washington to keep the peace.<\/p>\n

This is what is required to keep us safe, and we have to run out there and we have to act like we don\u2019t want to be the lone superpower — like Madeleine Albright. We need another superpower so that there is balance in the world. All of this stems (do not doubt me on this) from the idea that we\u2019re not the good guys, that we have our own problems, that we can\u2019t preach to anybody else about the right way or the wrong way, because we have a track record of doing a lot of things wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So the people that have been in charge of U.S. policy, foreign policy, trade policy, economic policy, have never believed unilaterally in the concept that we are the good guys. Now, the American people think we\u2019re the good guys. That\u2019s part of being patriotic Americans. We love our country. We know it\u2019s the force for good in the world. But we have been led by people who think that is nationalism and that is so small-minded. There is no force for good in the world.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s just the world, and you have to manage your way through it, and we don\u2019t want the responsibility being the force for good. It just too much responsibility. A lot of people just do not want to see the country that way, do not want to see the country as the good guys. Sadly, they have been people in charge of policy. There have been, except… George W. Bush was an exception. George W. Bush fully believed that United States was the solution, not the problem. But he was up against a bunch of people that didn\u2019t agree with him in his own government and around the world.<\/p>\n

Well, Trump is this outsider who\u2019s wandered into this mess, and to him it makes no sense. It makes no sense. Why do we have to apologize for ourselves? Why do we have to act weak? Why do we have to be weak, in light of the truth? We\u2019re the biggest economy. We feed the world. We don\u2019t have the largest population. The ChiComs ought to be outrunning us by a factor of two. But they don\u2019t because there\u2019s communists. They haven\u2019t the ability to produce, inherently, the kind of prosperity, standard of living, and wealth, because communism doesn\u2019t permit it.<\/p>\n

But communism can\u2019t feed a billion people. Communism can\u2019t come close to providing prosperity for a billion people or even half that number, or a third of that number. It\u2019s the ChiComs who are weak. It\u2019s the ChiComs who are on the short end of the stick, and this is what Trump knows. But Trump is simply trying to change this imbalance where we\u2019re not the ones that are constantly placing ourselves in second-fiddle position, and we\u2019re not walking around with a back pocket wide open saying to whoever wants some: “Go ahead and take it.<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019ll like us, if you\u2019ll say good things about us, if you won\u2019t attack us, go ahead and take what you want. We can afford it.” He doesn\u2019t understand any of this. When you hear him talk about stupid leaders in the past, this is the kind of thing he\u2019s talking about. So let\u2019s go to the audio sound bites. This is the president on the White House lawn making his way to the helicopter before leaving on his trip to Louisiana. He stopped to talk to reporters, as he always does, and said this about the trade war with the ChiComs…<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: We\u2019re having probably the greatest economy that we\u2019ve had anywhere, any time in the history of our country. We\u2019re having a little squabble with China because we\u2019ve been treated very unfairly for many, many decades. It should have been handled a long time ago and it wasn\u2019t and we\u2019ll handle it now. I think it\u2019s going to be… I think it\u2019s gonna turn out extremely well. We\u2019re in a very strong position. We are the piggy bank that everybody likes to take advantage of or take from, and we can\u2019t let that happen anymore. The relationship I have with President Xi is extraordinary. It\u2019s really very good. But he\u2019s for the China and I\u2019m for the USA, and it\u2019s very simple. This has never happened to China before. We had a deal that was very close, and then they broke it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

RUSH: They did. They even break deals they\u2019ve agreed to. They break deals they\u2019ve gotten close to because their knowledge is that we\u2019re not gonna do anything. We\u2019ll take it. We\u2019ll accept it. We\u2019ve always accepted it. The Obama years were especially bad for this, because Obama had negotiators walking in with an air of insecurity, inferiority, and the inability to define terms for the ChiComs on the basis that, “Who are we to be defining terms? I mean, our country had slaves! Our country didn\u2019t let women vote. So who are we to preach to other people?”<\/p>\n

This just frustrates the hell out of Trump. What does that have to do with a fair arrangement on trade? Besides, all those things have been fixed. There isn\u2019t slavery anymore, and women can vote and much more. All those old injustices have been dealt with, they\u2019re gone, we\u2019re prospering. Why in the world do we have to act like we\u2019re second fiddle and like we can\u2019t get along without them, when it\u2019s the other way around?<\/p>\n

The difference is Trump doesn\u2019t want to defeat the ChiComs. He\u2019s not trying to beat \u2019em into the dust. He\u2019s not trying to wipe \u2019em out. He\u2019s not trying to steal everything they\u2019ve got and bring it back home. He just wants a fair arrangement that does not result in the ChiComs being defeated on anything. It\u2019s not complicated at all. And he\u2019s just looking for the proverbial level playing field. A reporter said (impression), “On the trade war, Mr. President, do you think you\u2019re winning the trade war, Mr. President?”<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: We\u2019re winning it. We\u2019re gonna be collecting over a hundred billion dollars in tariffs. Our people, if they want, they could buy from someplace else other than China, or they can really — the ideal — is make their product in the USA. That\u2019s what I really want. Yeah, we\u2019re winning it.<\/p>\n

REPORTERS: (shouting)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: You know what?<\/p>\n

REPORTERS: (shouting)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: You want to know something?<\/p>\n

REPORTERS: (shouting)<\/p>\n

THE PRESIDENT: Do you want to know something? We always win.<\/p>\n

RUSH: (impression) I hate when he says that! He\u2019s telling reporters, ‘We always win. We always win.'” See, that\u2019s the kind of attitude that people I\u2019m not talking about hate. The State Department, these career Washington types that have presided over this world order since World War 2 where the U.S. does everything it can to whittle away at its superpower status. This the idea that we always win? “Ooooh, that\u2019s so unseemly to say! We\u2019re not supposed to laud it over people. It is not cool.” Trump can win this like he can win immigration, if he just outlasts these people and doesn\u2019t listen to, in this case, the business journalism crowd.<\/p>\n

Some at the Wall Street Journal and others are going nuts over what\u2019s happening in the stock market and the tariffs. “Oh, my God. The sky is falling!” If Trump will just ignore these people when they panic, they wimp out — and they panic and wimp out because all this is different. “This is not the way we\u2019ve always done it. This is not the way it should be done.” Right. We\u2019re trying to change that. Now, interesting. Mr. Hanson, Victor Davis Hanson, had a piece in National Review today on China<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It prints to five pages. I can\u2019t read the whole thing. But I do want to read a little bit from the beginning of it because it states exceedingly well a number of points I have been trying to make over the past couple of days. It\u2019s entitled, “China\u2019s Brilliant Insidious Strategy — Slowly but steadily they build up their economic, military, and technological superiority at our expense The [ChiCom] government does not have so much a strategy to translate its economic ascendance into global hegemony as several strategies. All of them are brilliantly insidious.<\/p>\n

“On matters of trade, China is always flexible in responding to critics of its asymmetrical, 30-year mercantilism. In the initial stages of Westernization, China was exempted from criticism…” This is such an important point. When China was seen as finally moving in the direction of the West (that\u2019s us), Western civilization, market economics… When the ChiComs were seen… Thirty years ago, when they were seen making these initial moves toward westernization, we exempted them.<\/p>\n

They were allowed to steal copyright. They are allowed to steal intellectual property. They were allowed patent infringement. They were allowed to dump cheap product in America. They were even permitted corporate espionage because, “Western elites assumed that these improprieties were just speed bumps on the eventual Chinese freeway to liberalism.” This is… In other words, “We have to let \u2019em do this. This is what it\u2019s gonna take to bring them fully to our side.” In other words, they were looked at as a bunch of newcoming incompetents and said, (impression):<\/p>\n

“Yeah, they\u2019re kind of thieves and they\u2019re kind of this and that, but — but — but — but we gotta put up with it, because this is what it\u2019s gonna take to bring the ChiComs fully into market economics. And then “the richer China got, the more progressive it would become.” You see, the elites thought that the richer they got, the more like the American left and classic liberalism they would become.<\/p>\n

“Huge trade deficits or military technological appropriation were small prices to pay for” the ChiComs coming our way. If you lived in “Palo Alto or Upper West Side,” if you\u2019re one of these elites and you\u2019re looking at the world from your perspective, it\u2019s “perfectly fine” for the ChiComs to violate these ethics and laws \u2019cause they\u2019re new at it. They don\u2019t quite get it and it\u2019s just no big deal. So we didn\u2019t stop them, and they have been allowed to operate this way with impunity ever since.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019ve got these huge trade deficits. The Chinese are cheating more than they ever have. Now, now all that is become our fault, you see! “The Tom Friedman school of journalism chided our … government as lacking Chinese authoritarian efficiency that could by fiat connect new planned utopias by high-speed rail and power them with solar-panel farms.”<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: So the Tom Friedman point. The New York Times\u2019 Friedman was looking at the way the ChiComs were behaving, and he was envy out that they had this small group of elites that could authoritatively dictate action in China, as opposed to having a messy democracy where everybody got to have a say in it by way of voting. He was really envious of it. He was praising how the Chinese were getting bridges facility faster than we can.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yeah, but the bridges were falling down half the way after they were built. “The Wall Street\u2013investor version of this,” which the people that would believe a Friedman column would see, “saw flabby, pampered Americans getting their just deserts as more productive and deserving Chinese workers outhustled and outproduced us,” when it wasn\u2019t happening. And it\u2019s all part of this (whatever it is) defeatism that the left and career Washington people have about this country.<\/p>\n

That, A, we don\u2019t deserve our superpower status, that we haven\u2019t really earned it, and it\u2019s ill-gotten in many ways. But it\u2019s also just not fair. And so any excesses, any illegalities that the Chinese were committing as they were coming of age were overlooked and allowed to become systemic. And that\u2019s what Trump can\u2019t abide and is trying, after all of these years, to fix and level out. And he\u2019s the first to try it.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Farmington, New York. Steve, I want to get you squeezed in here if we can. You\u2019ve got about 45 seconds. Make it count.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it\u2019s an honor.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n

CALLER: My point is I had a hard time believing your caller yesterday, Beverly, that she was a conservative. The reason being, it sounded too much like misinformation. She was thinking her 401(k) is down. Yet the stock market on May 3rd, the S&P and NASDAQ hit all-time highs. My own 401(k) and IRA were at all-time highs.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right.<\/p>\n

CALLER: They\u2019re down a little bit now.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Time is limited. She called here and said that a lot of Trump voters are getting very nervous \u2019cause of this trade deal and Trump is destroying their 401(k)s and investments and market\u2019s way down and she\u2019s getting really nervous and I should know about this. I said, “I don\u2019t think you\u2019re describing Trump voters as I know them.” I suspected that it was a liberal plant or seminar caller. It\u2019s easier to do that than to think the caller doesn\u2019t know what they\u2019re talking about, \u2019cause I\u2019m a nice guy and I don\u2019t like thinking that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
