I have more on these leading republican voices speaking out about the former president and just a moment, but we want to get to developing news out of beijing this morning, where secretary of state anthony blank and met with chinese president Xi Zhang, paying the associated press reports, their meeting lasted roughly
thirty five minutes. The apc also sites footage from the meeting released by chinese state media in which chinese

This has been coming for some time, I must say just I've.
Been saying this show, since two thousand and seven I think the supremacy of china has been
overvalued by americans. I think china is obviously the rising power and we're going to share
the world stage with them for the next thirty forty fifty years, certainly art
to dominate us, but I also think
indeed this talk of this
talking of of just absolute collapse in the relationship has also been overstated. Both sides have been jostling

four issues you're talking about global,
security, we we need each other, so you
We see we're talking about some problems that over the past couple of years, surely
I'm sure they talked about economic
a key issues, military issues and probably close up and undue speculating here, probably closed up
with the red sox sweep of the yankees, which everybody is talking about now. That is the top
mobile headline this morning, Joe. Yet this of course, is the meeting that was around
scheduled for february. That was postponed when that Chinese.
I've learned was spotted over the united states and really tensions.
SK lady between the two countries, and they took them several months to get to the point where they could have this,
and it was widely expected- the secretary of state would meet with she's in paying at the core.
Nation of time beijing, but there was a way to see how his talks with his counterpart of chinese foreign minister first to make sure that
didn't devolve like they had done in the past, they went well. Both sides say, and therefore blinking got his
audience with chinese prestige and paying the chinese president reference his match with meaning with present.
I met the g20 in indonesia last year. There is hope you s, officials tell me that later this far
next, this year's g20, the two men might meet again and that certainly not scheduled justin,
but there is Joe, certainly there's been a number of flashpoints between these two countries.

its tell me over the weekend. They do feel, like things are heading in the right direction and, of course, president biden-
as you say, has tried to have this pivot to asia. The worn ukraine slowed that some, but they feel like it

it's not a circumstance where he's the victim or that this is government overreach. He provoke this whole problem self. Yes, he's been the victim of unfair, which once in the past, but that does not the eight the fact that he's also fundamentally flawed person who engages in reckless conduct and that leads to situations calamitous situations like this, which are

because a lot of the evidence comes from his own lawyers and, furthermore, there is evidence of him saying things that are completely incompatible with any idea that this was an innocent document dispute to believe you lied to the justice department. I personally believe that, yes, I do.
the legal theory by which he gets to take battle plans and sensitive national security information, as his personal papers is absurd. It's just as wacky is the legal doctrine they came up with having them
president unilaterally determine who won the election.
as you know, has many good qualities and he accomplished some good things, but the first
the matter is, he is a consummate narcissist and
He constantly engages a reckless conduct that that puts
his political followers at risk and and and the conservative and republican agenda risk, he will
always put his own interests and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country's interests. There's no question about it. This is a perfect example of that he's. Like he's like a nine year old defiant, nine year old kid who's, always pushing the glass towards the edge of the table defying his parents to stop them from doing it. It's a means of self assertion and exerting his dominance over other people and he's he's a very petty individual who will always put his interests ahead of the country's his personal gratification of his of his ego, but our country, our country, can't you can't be a therapy session for a troubled man like this. Oh, my god, that's worse than I thought
And there are millions of question joe millions of questions as to why you didn't

is that this must be so bad. He is nowhere else to go bill bar, but to say exactly the truth. This guy

I have a theory. There don't hold me to the numbers exactly, but
thirty four percent of the country still supported Joe Mccarthy

It's not a bad indicator that thirty four percent will believe almost anything the moment. Wearin is shaped by the fact that the thirty four percent has a delta of about fourteen other
