00:00Agricultural and in fact some partnerships with our local farmers and farmers on the continent.
00:06Well, he's pulled back because, you know, the way that he's thinking of foreign policy, it seems,
00:13is when he talks about America first, it's to withdraw from these relationships and these connections.
00:21And then he kind of rev acts like a mob boss.
00:25So then he's kind of like, well, you know, you take Eastern Europe and I'll take the Western Hemisphere.
00:36And then you over there, you get Asia and we'll just divide it up.
00:42Right. Instead of understanding historically, America has always been about our global leadership, imperfect though we have been.
00:51So what is happening is by withdrawing for a number of reasons, not to mention what he has called African
00:58nations.
00:59Yeah, asshole countries.
01:01Right.
01:03What is happening is the other thing that is going to require the work after he leaves office
01:09is understanding that people have filled our void, in particular China.
01:17And how's that going to work then when, again, relationships are based on who's been with me, who's been here?
01:25I'll give you another example and then we can go on to the next question.
01:28When I was vice president, I spent a lot of time focused on the Indo-Pacific.
01:34So, again, you got to be present.
01:37So I spent time and traveled to Vietnam, to Singapore, to South Korea, to Indonesia, to Japan.
01:46Why did I go to those places and have multiple meetings with those leaders?
01:51Because China is attempting to influence that whole region of the world, which we have a direct connection to.
02:01California is right in the Pacific, right?
02:0440 million people.
02:04We have a direct interest in what happens in that region, so we need to be present.
02:10You look under the Trump administration, they have pretty much withdrawn from our relationships with Indo-Pacific countries.
02:18Again, leaving a void.
02:20So while he struts around, boasting about how he will annihilate a whole people, what he is in fact doing,
02:31and this is why it's important to watch what he does and not just listen to what he says, what
02:38he is doing is making us weaker, unreliable, and less influential.
02:43So, again, we have a lot of questions.
