he context of the Trump energy or populist gaining momentum will, while Trump is sort of absent from it at the moment, this is the sort of thing that's adding energy to that. Because this seems so blatantly, I hate to say unfair but that's how people will register it. You know the world, there's no such thing as fairness, but people will register this as unfair. In other news, Black Lives Matter…

So how is that different from every CNN story about Trump? Pretty much all of the news about Trump was just stuff taken out of context but they didn't call it out. Now Daniel Dale will have to call out all the times that Biden is taken out of context. So he went from a cool job where you get to criticize Trump all the time into a way less cool job where he's got to defend Biden for things that Biden maybe should have said a little more clearly or added as a better context or something. So poor Daniel Dale, his job just got demoted to Biden apologist.
Apparently China had this clever scheme. One of the big companies was offering to build test labs in this country and the accusation here is that that would have allowed them to collect a bunch of DNA from Americans.

Why in the world would we let our rival China do something closer to unrestricted business in our country with this kind of risk? You know if they put any technology into your company you've got a risk that they're stealing your secrets through the technology. If they do any kind of medical thing you've got a risk that they're going to steal your DNA. If you do any kind of other thing there's going to be some other risk. Every time the Chinese are buying into this country it opens up some kind of a risk. Why do we let them do business here? Why is tha

t legal? Does anybody have any idea why that's legal? I can't think of any reason why that should be legal if we can't do it in their country. Now if they opened up and said hey let's just make it the same, you can do whatever we do there you can do here, but that's not going to happen. If we can't do business in their country they should not be able to do business in our country. They should be…
