A highlight from Growing Unease: Current Administrations Approach to Security and Travel with David Bellavia
"What do you think they're doing with cash, right? What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? Yeah. What do you, it's, this is a state sponsor of terrorism. Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests and my fellow citizens. America's comeback now. starts right Welcome back Financial Guys podcast. Mike Speraza in studio live today with a guest in the studio. I haven't had this in a long time. Staff Sergeant medal of honor recipient David Bellavia joining me for about a half hour today. David, thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it. Absolutely. So I'm going to stick based on your background. I'm going to stick with a lot of military stuff today and I want to start, we'll go all the way back to the beginning of the Joe Biden presidency. The Afghanistan withdrawal, in my opinion, did not go very smoothly. I'm sure many people listening agree. What were your overall thoughts of that withdrawal and how it actually ended up happening? I know we lost, you know, sadly lost 13 soldiers in that, in that withdrawal. People say we went off the wrong air base. People say that we shouldn't have gone out in the middle of the summer. There was a lot of different things there. What were your overall thoughts on that? I think it's like the worst day in American history since Market Garden. Just absolutely. And the reason why it was so difficult was it was totally unnecessary. So let's rewind to the Obama trade, Bull Bergdahl and the three first round draft picks. They get Marshall, they get MacArthur and they get Patton that end up the resurgence of the Taliban. These men not just go back to the enemy, they go back to the battlefield. They're in power when the government falls. You have misinformation coming from the White House that the president of Afghanistan is leaving with billions of dollars on his plane, which wasn't true. And then you leave the equipment, the cash. There's no recovery. We're getting reports of sales of American equipment left in Afghanistan in Southeast Asia. We're moving material across the globe. Our children will fight and pay and have to atone for these miscalculations. Let's talk about that. You being in the military and you knowing that area too, why did they just find it the easiest way out to just say, you know, just leave that billion dollar billions of dollars of equipment there and not think, again, if it was me and I'm speaking that someone that's never been in the military, but if it's me and I'm the president, I'm thinking, OK, I don't want to leave all our weaponry there. I don't want to lose any of my men. Number two. And number three, I want to make sure that everybody knows when and how we're getting out of there. And it just felt like poof. One day they said we're getting out of here. Well, it's because the military didn't make any of those decisions. I mean, look, Millie, it can criticize him. You can criticize Secretary of Defense worthy of criticism. However, none of these individuals are making decisions. This is about NGOs on the ground. This is about the State Department. So you've got Bagram Air Base, the equivalent of JFK. You've got Karzai International Airport, the equivalent of Teterboro. Right. Why would you ever do an exfil out of Karzai International Airport? It makes absolutely no sense. It's tactically unsound. But and then you've got all the ISIS -K. We retaliate from the murder of 13 of our bravest and we drop a bomb on a guy delivering water. He's on our payroll and we kill children on that. Then we take out Borat on a tuk tuk driving around like that wasn't even really what was happening. It's just a den of lies. And Tony Blinken and Jake Sullivan, all the heroes that brought us, you know, the Bergdahl deal, the Iran nuke deal. This is these. They the State Department is running all foreign policy, including what the DOD used to run. Well, that's I was going to say. I mean, I know Biden's the president, but do you blame him at all or is it everybody underneath him that, you know, maybe was giving him bad information? And again, some of these decisions, David, is Biden even involved in some of these decisions? Like, I don't even know anymore. Is he around? Is he paying attention to anything going on? Well, I mean, just from the press conferences, it was apparent he didn't know what was going on. And the great irony is that they actually were predicting that Ukraine was going to be invaded and, you know, no one believed them. So it's like you can't influence your friends. The allies don't trust you. The enemy doesn't respect you. You know, I mean, you've got Ben Rhodes is really proud of this State Department. Susan Rice loves what they're doing. But, you know, again, Americans died. And, you know, and what is the perfect culmination of the adventure in Afghanistan? Looking at your watch at Dover Air Base when bodies are coming home. I mean, nothing could you couldn't ask for a just it's it's a debacle. Yeah. And it's sad that that's that's the leader of our country there. Let's move in. You brought up the Ukraine there. So the Russia Ukraine conflict will get to Zelensky in a minute. He is as we speak in New York City right now. But so Trump's in office. We don't see many of these conflicts or any conflicts actually started under his watch. And then we have the Biden administration come in. And a year later, we have Russia invading Ukraine. Why did this happen and why? Why the timing of February of 2022? So let's go back to when we were fighting ISIS. Trump engaged and destroyed estimated some say 300 members of Wagner forces. But those were Russian nationals. We engaged. We destroyed them. What was the response from Putin? Nothing at all. So what do people in that section of the world, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, what do they respect? They respect power. They respect authority. You're not going to get any respect if you don't engage the enemy when they present themselves. I don't understand the calculus of again, I'm trying hard to figure it out. I don't get it. I don't. You know, Romania and Hungary and Poland, you're letting them unilaterally decide whether or not they want to send reinforcements into Ukraine. That's an act of war. If NATO members engage the enemy, all of NATO is engaged against the enemy. Poland doesn't unilaterally make that decision. Hungary and Romania don't unilaterally make that decision. We can't even articulate what the mission is. And if you look, go to the Institute for the Study of War, there's a plug for them. Check out their overlay from when the battle started, when the war started with Russia. And tell me what success this offensive in Ukraine has produced. I mean, let me ask this question, because I get confused. The answer is nothing. I asked this on Twitter, X, whatever it's called, all the time. What is the end game and how do we get there? Because all I see the answer is, hey, just blank checks. Hey, just write a check. Hey, here's a billion. Hey, here's 20 billion. Hey, here's another 10 billion. I don't actually see a look. I mean, like anything, right? If I write a business plan of what I want to do in 2024, my goal is X. I write down my steps to get X. I don't just write down X and say it's going to happen. I don't really know. And then the answer always is, well, we have to fight. We have to back Ukraine. Okay. But when does that end? Because the Afghanistan war and the war in Iraq lasted 20 years plus, right? And was there a real end to it? I don't know. That's where it gets frustrating for me, Dave, where I'm like, how do we know what the end game is? Do you win or lose? When does that happen? I don't know. I don't know. At least you're thinking about it. And I have fear that our leaders aren't, and that's the problem. So here's what this comes out. You're going to get a negotiated settlement out of Ukraine, right? But you talked about the billions of dollars that we're spending and giving to Ukraine as a blank check. First of all, Zelensky visited Ukrainian soldiers in the United States. Did you know that there were wounded Ukrainian soldiers in the United States? I did not know that. Well, today he visited them. So what's happening there? So that's a cost that no one is putting on the ledger. So now let's look at the blank check that Ukraine is getting. And by the way, I'm pro Ukraine. I want to fight communists all day and night. So let's punch Putin hard in the face. However, you're giving them a blank check and you're giving them munitions. Now here's the problem. We have to replace those munitions. Those munitions were purchased for 20 year global war and terror. And let's be honest, inflation is involved. So what you purchased for $10 is now $17. So you're not just giving them the money. You're giving them the equipment and the munitions that you have to replace yourself at the value of what is valued today. We haven't scratched the surface for the amount of money. CBO absent at the wheel. No one is tracking this. 2024 can't get here fast enough. How does this work, though, when you talk about some of these NATO nations coming together and making decisions, but us not just giving weaponry, giving everything money, whatever we're giving there? Is that not an act of war, too, though, David, at some point? We're continuing to fund Ukraine continuing the war in Ukraine. I mean, that to me seems like we're backing a war. Well, I mean, by the letter of the law and NATO charter, it's not. But here's the problem. It's schizophrenic because we were told that what was an offensive weapon was going to mitigate, you know, that wasn't going to help peace at all. So we went from, I don't know if they should get tracked vehicles to I'm not sure an artillery piece is what they need to high Mars rockets being launched. And let's be honest. I mean, the Ukrainians are I mean, the payload that they're going through, what you would have to have cataclysmic casualty numbers to be able to to the spandex that they're doing on the ground that they need to replace Patriot. If you're going through thirty five Patriot to, you know, missiles, I would expect to at least the C 20 makes that are shot down. They're using them for air artillery. They're using there for indirect fire. I don't know what they're doing, but this is going to end with Don Boss going to Russia. This is going to end with that land chain that Putin wanted through Crimea. And again, our friends in NATO, what are they even doing for Ukraine? What? Look, if you they said that Trump wanted to kill NATO, Biden did it. Right. Biden did it. And now Germany. And so Putin was selling oil at thirty dollars a barrel. What's it at ninety six? Yeah. He's making more money than he did before. And he's financing a war and killing innocent people. You mentioned before, too, and I think this is a good point. Everybody on the left and I'll say the media, the establishment, whoever you want to say, says that if you don't agree with the war in Ukraine, you're like pro Putin. Right. And that's just the most outrageous thing in the world, because I agree with you. I feel for the people of Ukraine. I don't want this for them. I don't want this for innocent people. However, at some point, the world's every every one of the world's problems can't be America's problem when we have a border crisis. And then I think they said yesterday ten thousand people came across. They got, I think, eight thousand of the ten thousand. But you see the numbers day over day. It's a problem. We have crime that's rampant. We have overdoses that are at record numbers. We have we have suicides at record numbers. At some point, we have to maybe just think about ourselves and not everybody else, because if we fall, sadly, I think the world falls at that point. Amen. The thing that I would add is I love the way the Ukraine refugee has been crowbarred into the migrant crisis in the United States. New York leaders from the city to all over Kathy Hochul, the governor of the state of New York, mentioning that, you know, like the Ukrainians in Poland, the the Polish have no intention to keep Ukrainians forever. That's a temporary you know, they're leaving a conflict to return to their country after the conflict is over. Again, this is just we're we're putting a round peg into a square hole and just hammering it away. But but there's no the media. There's you're our destroying military. I go to parents all the time around this country and ask them to give us their sons and daughters to join the military. And the one thing they bring up is Afghanistan. It's not about anything. It's Afghanistan. How are you going to assure us that you're going to maintain your commitment to our son and daughter when you betrayed us in Afghanistan that has lasting effects? And there's not a I'm trying to find a segment of our of our of our nation that's functioning. I don't know what it is. I saw in Chicago, they're going to have municipally owned grocery stores. Maybe that will figure it out there. Yeah, yeah, it's good. Real quick, do you think and we'll finish up on this topic, but do you think that they will we will ever have boots in the ground on Ukraine? I mean, I hope not, because I just don't know what the I mean, look at I'm I'm we're getting ready for China. We're trying to revolutionize everything. I don't know what the what the plan is. I mean, again, if you want to put a base in Ukraine, and you want to make that a sustainment operation going forward, that I here's the point. I don't understand what the inactive ready reserve call up was for. Why are you bringing those troops in the non combat support? Why are they going to Ukraine? What are you building infrastructure there? Here's what I do know. We're talking a minimum of $11 trillion to build Ukraine back. That is cataclysmic amounts of money. There isn't water, electricity, internet, you know, you want to help Ukraine. You're going to Russia is not paying for that if you negotiate a settlement. So I don't know what the plan is. But I hope we never see boots on the ground. I could guess what the plan is. I won't I won't say for sure. But I could guess that we'll be paying a chunk of that. And I do have one last one. So I did interview Colonel Douglas McGregor a few months back. And he talked about he's a real optimist. But he is really very, very bullish on Ukraine. Yes, very, very optimistic. I'm dropping some all over the place. But he brought up some staggering numbers, though. And even if they're half true, it's a problem. The amount of casualties and wounded soldiers on the Ukrainian side that we're not hearing about the media. I don't know if you agree with some of those numbers or not. But he's saying, I mean, it's people are acting as if this is an even war right now. And it's not even close. First of all, McGregor's a stud. I mean, he's an absolute, you know, that we're glad he's on our side. He's a military mind. I don't know if those numbers are accurate. I could tell you they're juxtaposed to almost everything we're hearing from every institution that we have, including a lot of our intel from Germany and England. But again, I don't know what to believe. So when you don't have when you don't have transparency, when you're not holding regular press conferences, when your Pentagon spokesman is now working in the White House and now you're getting a triple spin. I mean, the U .S. Open double backspin. You've gotten so many spins on the narrative. I don't know what to believe. But if he is even close to what is a segment of truth, you know, then look, Ukraine needs an investigation. There's a lot of investigations. We've got to start on Afghanistan. We were promised that by Speaker McCarthy. We need a hot wash on Afghanistan. And then we need to go to what who is oversighting the money that's going to Ukraine. And what have we got for our return on investment? Yeah, I'm not asking for much. Really, all I'm asking for in this conflict is can we just talk about what the end game is? And to your point, can we get an accounting of where the money's going and what's being spent in a real accounting of it? The Iran deal that just happened last week. First off, the fact that that was negotiated and completed on 11th September to me is just the ultimate slap in the face. But you again, you know more about this than I do. We do a five for five trade. OK, I'm going to use sports analogies. We trade five for five. And then we also approved of six billion dollars that apparently wasn't ours, but it was in a fund that now they can release to Iran. How are we winning on that one? Well, first of all, I was hoping that at least it was a digital transfer. The fact that it went as euros in cash through Qatar. And OK, so what happens the 24 hours after that deal is made? We're now getting issues in the West Bank. We're now hearing about issues in Yemen. We've now got Hezbollah that's reinforced. I mean, look, what do you think they're doing with cash? Right. What deal do you make where someone says, I'll bring a box of money to you? What do you it's this is a state sponsor of terrorism. They haven't changed. By the way, their president is now in New York City addressing the United Nations. This guy's killed 6500 of his own people. He admits to it. He killed the students that revolted and wanted democracy when we did nothing. He killed 5000 of his citizens in 1988. He's killed over 300 Americans. There's no accountability whatsoever. I don't understand what it is about Jake Sullivan and Tony Blinken that believe that Iran is a partner. All you've done 10 years ago, they were refining 10 percent of their oil. And now they're a force. Now they're working with Maduro in Venezuela, and they're a huge part of their members of of the international community. They're in good standing there. I don't get it. Does anyone believe that the Iran nuke deal? Look, we got hit with cruise missiles under Trump in Iraq. How did they have those cruise missiles? Those cruise missiles were illegal under the Obama nuke deal. So how are you refurbishing missiles in two years? Do we believe that their centrifuges have stopped? That they won't have a program if they don't have one already? No, I mean, I guess my question, David, is how I mean, I know that you pay a lot of attention to this stuff, but how do people like in the media not ask these questions? Right. I mean, these are legitimate. I mean, we just traded to I put this on my notes here. This is on the heels of trading a WNBA basketball player for the Merchant of Death like six months ago. Right. I mean, and again, I'm glad Americans are coming back to America. I don't want to sound pessimistic on that. That's great news. But we also I mean, this this stuff just seems like I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. It warrants questions, but nobody seems to care. I'm in the world that if you take hostages, we take hostages. You want to exchange people? We'll exchange people. You know, we definitely have the partners in the area to do that. For whatever reason, this administration, they're they're they're contrarians. They're contrarians to you know, they claim Bush and Cheney are their best friends, yet they just go 180 degrees from that doctrine. I don't know what the Biden doctrine is. I don't know what Bidenonomics is either, but I could tell you that they believe that Iran is a partner. Now, here's another thing. Our envoy to Iran not only is no longer the envoy, he doesn't have a security clearance. Does anyone curious at The New York Times as to what happened to the lead negotiator in Iran that is escorted off a bus, taken into American custody, given a job at Yale or Princeton or wherever he's working now? I've never heard of a person going from top secret classified negotiations to no clearance whatsoever and in the custody of American intelligence community. No one cares. No one cares at all. It's fascinating. And again, for me, I mean, these are big decisions that we're making. And correct me if I'm wrong, but it used to be, you know, maybe we did a two for five deal and then we made the six billion. Now we're like, we're giving stuff away and we're on the losing end. Correct me if I'm wrong, but America was never, you know, America losing. It was always America winning, right? America getting the best of deals. At least McDonald's has a five for five. We didn't even get that. You know what this does though? Honest to God, if you're thinking about traveling overseas, things go sideways, cartel, South America, Mexico, wherever you're going, you have a price in your head now. No one in their right mind is going to bring you back whether it's Haiti or wherever you are, you're worth $1 .25 billion. And thugs and scumbags are going to take advantage of that. I mean, that's a great point too. Do you think about leaving the country? I don't know anymore. That's a little bit concerning. I don't care where you're going, right? That's concerning. This one I just had to bring up because it happened two days ago or yesterday. How do we lose a plane? And I heard that's like a third one in the last six weeks that something like this has happened. How are we losing $80 million planes? Well, they're not $80 million anymore because they've got a new engine and all this other stuff. Look, the F -35 program is a complete disaster. You want to talk about why our allies think we're crazy. We sold them a plane. This program has been around since the early 90s and we've got nothing on return for it. So basically two planes are flying in a buddy team. They're doing training and a guy punches out. We don't even know why he punched out, but that plane could have easily hit a building. It didn't, thank God. But the wingman didn't follow where his buddy went. So what is he doing? He just kind of went on and did his own thing. And now the Marine Corps put a Facebook post like a dog is missing. We're expecting the Ukrainian farmers to carry the F -35 out with their tractors. I don't know what the point of it's wild. Look, stop embarrassing us. Just stop humiliating us. That's all I'm asking. Just be the army and the Marine Corps that we know our men and women are capable of being. Get out of their way. This gender garbage, this social experiment nonsense, stop humiliating our military. That's all I ask. Why can we not get the... I mean, I know why we can't get the answer, but I'm asking this to you. But why can't we, at a press conference at the White House, why can't we say, I want to talk to the guy that was in the other plane, or you can tell us the transcript of what happened when that happened. Talk to the guy who jumped out of the plane. Why did you do that? And again, I'm not trying to put our military on the spot, but these are kind of big questions to ask, right? I mean, if I do something in my business, I have to go face the music on that. Why doesn't everybody have to face music for their decisions or why things are happening? I think it's kind of important. Well, you don't want to talk to generals because they're going to tell you the truth and they won't be generals anymore. True. And you don't want to talk to enlisted people. Because look, I mean, let's be honest. How many people are... Is this a merit -based military anymore? Do we have a meritocracy? Are we promoting people based on pronouns? Go figure. When we're putting politics above military strength, accidents happen. We don't know the facts, but the fact that nobody cares about getting to the bottom of it, the day of the Pentagon paper reporters are gone. Yep. Yep. Let's just talk about the 2024 race quick, and then we will wrap up for today. So your thoughts on the Republican primary so far, I'll stay away from the Democratic side till the very end, but your thoughts on, you know, there's obviously Trump who is now in a, has a huge lead. Ron DeSantis seems to be crumbling underneath himself. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped up in the polls. Nikki Haley's there. Tim Scott's there. A few others that probably aren't going to get a lot of votes. Chris Christie's the anti -Trump candidate. Mike Pence is, I don't know what Mike Pence is. I'm not really sure. Your thoughts about the whole field so far? I mean, look, it's impressive. They've got a deep bench. There's a lot of diversity. I, you know, none of it matters. Trump is the guy. The more you indict him, the more you empower him. You know, I'd like him to work on his communications a little bit better. You know, but if Trump is Trump, Trump is a Frankenstein monster of Barack Obama. As long as you have that faction, you're going to get, you know, Trump is going to be empowered. I just don't want to see Governor Noem anywhere near the White House. And I, if he's going to pick a running mate, you know, it's hard to find an ally here, you know. But it would be nice to find a governor. I don't want to take anyone from the Senate. I don't want to take anyone from the House with the margins that tight. But I mean, the idea that Governor Noem is being floated right now. I mean, I'd rather take North Dakota. Yeah. A little sled there. You know, it's funny you mentioned that because I saw a lot of that this weekend. I mean, can we just, for lack of a better term, keep it in our pants for about a year and then do what you got to do? It really is. I mean, every time you turn, somebody's doing something idiotic, whether it's Boebert. And again, I say this, David, a lot of people know who you are. A lot more know who you are than they'll ever know who I am. But when you go out in public into a movie theater like that, and I'm going to Boebert, not Noem for a second, you're, you're extremely well known. I don't care if it's dark or if it's as light as it is in the studio right now. What are you thinking? I, you know, she's, she's, she's an embarrassment. She is. She's bad, too. Who would have thought that Marjorie Taylor Greene would have been the, the oasis of the Maryland? I mean, seriously, I, again, you're, you're in Congress every day. You're out in public, you're on the job. You know, at least she wasn't wearing a hoodie, you know, that's all in shorts. She was at least dressed for the occasion, but I, it was, it's wildly embarrassing. Vaping, singing, whatever you're doing. Getting groped. Yes. Who is your VP candidate then? Because I think, you know, you have names thrown around. There's, there's, the vague has been thrown around in there. You know, Byron Donald's has been thrown around in there. Carrie Lake has. I don't know. I love Carrie Lake. I just don't know that Trump needs to go with somebody so divisive there. I think he's got to go with somebody that's, that's firm in their beliefs, but also not maybe going to turn off half the country. Well, you know, it's, it's impossible. One of the, one of the problems with making Trump, you know, the, the enemy of the state that the left has done is that you've really made it difficult for him to even put a cabinet together. You know, I mean, what are you going to do with it? You've got a lot of loyalists out there. You know, the vague is, is I think maybe the most intelligent dynamic candidate we've ever seen run for president, but experience does matter. But you know, I love the way he thinks. I love the movement. I don't know if he would even take the job to be honest with it. I don't think he needs it. But you look at a Tim Scott, I think Tim Scott is, you know, there's a whole lot to his message and I think he's, he's got the experience in the Senate, but honestly, you could literally take the Clint Eastwood chair and, and throw it in there as vice president. I'm going with that because this, this from top to bottom, we have to have seismic change in 24. Do you think he would ever choose Kristi Noem at this point with all that now? Yeah, no one knew Mike Pence was a, was a 24 hour story and then he was the vice president candidate. So who knows? I mean, a lot can happen between now and then, but I just, I don't need, you know, let's just pick people on their merit. Let's pick people that are ready to be the president. Imagine this, imagine picking a vice president that can lead the country. If something happens to a 75 year old president, you know, like Kamala Harris. Yeah. Someone like that.

The Biden administration says North Korea will pay a price if it provides weapons to Russia for its ongoing war in Ukraine. We will continue to call on North Korea to abide by its public commitments, not to supply weapons to Russia that will end up killing Ukrainians. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters today discussions between the two countries are actively advancing. He said Russia's defense minister recently made a trip to North Korea to ask for weapons. A Georgia judge says the state can resume its ban on health care for transgender youth. Senate Bill 140 initially took effect July 1st, but Judge Sarah Garrity put the bill on hold, saying transgender children faced imminent risks from the health care ban. On Tuesday, Judge Garrity announced keeping the injunction in place is no longer possible due to a ruling that allowed a similar ban in Alabama to take effect. California U .S. Representative Josh Harder is introduced to the bill.

US to send nuclear ballistic submarines to Korean Peninsula
"The U.S. is set to give South Korea a conspicuous show of support, amid growing concern over North Korea's nuclear threats. Senior administration officials say the U.S. will dock nuclear armed submarines in South Korea for the first time in more than 40 years. It's part of an agreement President Biden will sign during today's state visit with South Korean counterpart Yun sook yule. President Biden and president yoon will announce major deliverables on extended deterrence, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan earlier this week. The planned dock visits are part of what's being called the Washington declaration, aimed at both easing South Korean fears over the north's aggressive nuclear weapons program and urging soul not to restart its own program.

US facilitating land evacuation of private citizens in Sudan
"Two days after a military evacuation of its embassy in Sudan, the U.S. has started helping private American citizens who want to leave the country. This morning, Secretary of State Anthony blinken said it's hard to know exactly how many Americans are in Sudan and how many would want to stay. I would say some dozens have expressed an interest in leaving hours later here at The White House. American citizens have begun arriving in port Sudan and we are helping to facilitate their onward travel. National security adviser Jake Sullivan said they're traveling in convoys from cartoon, while there are no American troops on the ground Sullivan says there are intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance assets in the sky over the land evacuation route to provide Overwatch.

Why the RESTRICT Act Is a Dangerous Patriot Act for the Internet
"I'm continuing my discussion of TikTok. The Chinese run app, very popular in America, very popular in other places in the world, popular also in China, although restricted in China, and there's an attempt to restrict or block TikTok in the United States. This is the so called restrict act. And the restrict act is being promoted as the remedy for TikTok, the bill, by the way, sponsored in the Senate by Mark Warner and John Boone. So this is really the establishment wings of both the Republican and the Democratic Party. And when you look at this restrict act, it sends a chill down your spine. Why? Because it's a remedy that is far worse than the disease. You might think that this is a bill to ban TikTok. And in fact, Josh hawley, I think thought it was exactly that. Josh hawley has been crusading for banning TikTok, and then it seems he finally read the restrict act and he goes, I'm not quoting him. The problem with the restrict act is it doesn't bang TikTok. It gives the president a whole bunch of new authority and it does nothing to stop the CCP just ban TikTok. So seemingly haul he's saying I would prefer a different law that is narrowly tailored to TikTok. But I want to focus on this restrict act because of how creepy it really is. It is an act that defers an enormous amount of authority to the executive branch and think of how little we can trust the executive branch. We're talking here about Joe Biden himself, and we're talking about his natural security adviser, Jake Sullivan, and we're talking about his secretary of commerce. So this is basically a baleful, untrustworthy crew. And what are they given the authority to do? It turns out they're given the authority to make a kind of national security assessment of, you guessed it all of social media.

GOP lawmakers assail Biden for not sending F-16s to Ukraine
"Some U.S. lawmakers are pushing the Biden administration to supply Ukraine with a fighter jets. It's asking for. While the CIA chief says Russia is overly confident. Not everyone in Congress supports more military aid for Ukraine, but Alaska senator Dan Sullivan says they need F-16 fighter jets and the Biden administration should do it now. They have slow rolled critical military weapon systems. He spoke on NBC's meet the press. So did White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan defending the stance on the fighter jets. This phase is about ground combat and being able to have the tools in the hands of the Ukrainians. CIA director William Byrne says that he thinks Russia is underestimating the U.S. resolve and that its president Vladimir Putin will be facing pressure at home with the cost of the war in dollars and lives.

Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back
"Now, let me state now the second part of the argument, it's always the same with this White House. Two steps forward, three steps back. They do the best thing in the presidency and they announced, by the way, we're sending a half billion more and none of it is advanced weaponry. Don't worry, not it's like Jake Sullivan is walking back the impact of the president's trip even as it's happening. Yeah, I didn't see the latest they've been by Jake Sullivan. Well, I'm not sure if Jake. It's an unnamed, but Jake is with him. Jake Sullivan, the national security adviser is with him. So I assume it's him. Yeah, I mean, sometimes you see that there's a reticence from this White House. In fact, I was surprised that Biden, like I said, did not spend more time in his State of the Union talking about the high stakes in Ukraine winning the war against Russia. But look, there are political considerations. There are divisions within the Republican Party, the divisions of the Democratic Party to a lesser extent about how much time, how much money, what types of weapons we should spend. So they're very sensitive to the domestic politics, usually they come around, usually they've been continuing to give the support that you bet Ukraine needs, the weapons that they need. But sometimes it takes a little while and sometimes they're trying to kind of get across their teeth, not their eyes and make sure they got the politics straight. Yeah,

The plan will be known as the U.S. India initiative on critical and emerging technologies.

He says that China, Russia factors are real. U.S. president Joe Biden says the U.S. has no plans to send F-16 warplanes to Ukraine, Bloomberg's Anne Marie horde says the U.S. is not alone in this. It's not just the U.S. that is saying no on fighter jets. It's the United Kingdom and it's Germany, but Ukraine has been pushing for them with the deputy foreign minister taking to Twitter saying without these fighter jets, we can not secure our skies. And Anne Marie says if history is a teacher, this is not the final answer. The no has turned to yes on a number of occasions, witnessed the Abram tanks issue, and Eurasia group founder and president Ian bremmer says attitudes may change as of one year anniversary of the Russian invasion. And he says, taking those tanks. As the Ukrainians have been effective on the ground and as the Russians have escalated, perhaps less than some have feared, there's just been incrementally greater willingness to support Ukraine. Yeah, bremer says more aid, more success breeds more aid. U.S. government accountability office says U.S. warships are saying fewer days at sea since 2011.

"Remains sort of more of a there are lots of folks who are worried about supply chain disruptions again and that certainly possible, although I think we're not going to see a repeat of what we saw earlier in the COVID era. Particularly because local governments will take steps to try to avoid large scale lockdowns. However, we can't rule them out altogether as you mentioned at the top of the hour. There's potential for up to a million deaths. We hope very much that that those are wildly overestimates, but there is the possibility out there. And deaths do search local governments will have to take steps. People will be afraid to come out of their houses. So supply chain disruption certainly are not out of the question over the next three months. Mary, moving to another issue that's of great importance to China and to China's U.S. relations. Semiconductors because there's a lot of talk about whether there's an economic Cold War going on and we're going to have it around. But boy, as I look at it in semiconductors, there really is sort of a Cold War, isn't there? Well, the U.S. is certainly gotten more aggressive in its stance. As we know, Jake Sullivan, the U.S. national security adviser, has said not that we want to just stay a generation ahead, but we want to basically make sure they can't progress from where they are. And that has led to not only sanctions on chips, but also on equipment that produces chips, how much of an impact it will have on China is not really known. It clearly will impede their ability to move to the frontier, but a lot of what they use for civilian and military uses is in fact not frontier chips. So there are many people who question how big an impact this will have. On Chinese military modernization as well as its economy. It is clearly seen as an escalation. However, with president Xi and President Biden meeting in Bali with secretary blinken, heading to Beijing, we may see the U.S. and China agreeing on a, you know, this is where we're going to be for a while. There's no benefit really for the Chinese and escalating here. So we may not see an escalation from this. Well, I'm very curious about that specific point. I was going to ask about the mini between president Xi and President Biden leading up to that there was a lot of talk about setting out red lines for both sides, which you can't go over. Semiconductors even on the table for negotiation at this point, given the positions of the two countries. Just from the U.S. side, I would say no, the U.S. has made its decision. It is following through. It is pushing its allies to join those efforts are ongoing. So I don't think this is a negotiable point on the U.S. side. There's still a lot of other areas where they can cooperate and some of those are economic. We could potentially still see some revisions to the Trump era trade war tariffs. There's other ways in which we can cooperate. One good sign is that we're beginning to see delegations of scholars and business people coming back to the United States. Not immediately, but over the next 6 months, we may see U.S. scholars and business people going back to China. So there is a possibility here that we will reach some kind of a new normal. Not immediately, but say over the next 6 to 12 months. Okay, Mary, that was very helpful. As it always is, thank you. That's very lovely.

"Charlie, thank you. The Pentagon is treading very carefully around this story from Poland today as The Associated Press reports to Russian missiles crossed the Ukrainian border into Poland killing two people. Pentagon spokesman Brigadier general pat Ryder. So as I mentioned right now, we are aware of the press reporting on this. We have no information at this time to corroborate those reports, but again are taking them seriously and looking into them. And so I will make sure that we provide you with any updates as soon as we have them. And we've been waiting. The news prompted though an emergency meeting of leaders in Poland with Warsaw now considering invoking article four of the NATO treaty, which brings consultation with allies to raise concerns about national security, a step away, of course, from a possible article 5 response, which is what everyone today has been asking about. When it comes to our security commitments and article 5, we've been crystal clear that we will defend every inch of NATO territory. That's a Brigadier general pat rider once again, echoing the words of the president, right? President Biden just a couple of months ago. Attack on one is an attack on all and we will defend every inch of NATO territory. Or the Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin. Miss President Biden made clear, we will defend every inch of NATO territory if required. Every inch. We're making good on that on that promise. Every inch, but what if it was an accident? What if NATO decides it's more dangerous to respond militarily? What if Poland doesn't ask for help? We are facing some big questions tonight, and that's why we're lucky to have former Secretary of Defense Mark Esper back with us on sound on, author of the book sacred oath, mister secretary, welcome back. We understand that President Biden has spoken with president duda. We also know national security adviser Jake Sullivan has gotten on the phone with the chief of Poland's national security bureau, bring us behind the scenes into what's happening right now. Well, Joe, first of all, great to be with you on this important day. So I think behind the scenes, the Secretary of Defense is having conversations with his counterpart as well. I think the critical thing is to understand what the polls know and what they don't know. Based on the forensics on the ground as they look at the wreckage of the missiles to compare radar tracks, if you will to try and figure out the point of origination. And then to kind of get their head with regard to where the government is thinking what the government is thinking as we weigh out responses. My suspicion is that this was an accidental firing caused by either poor targeting or a malfunction by one of the Russian missiles. But we need to go through a deliberate process investigated out and come to the facts before we draw any conclusions. If we do conclude that it was an accident. Does that mean no military response or is it not that easy? Well, look, accidents happen. United States has created accidents in the past if you recall the shooting down of an Iranian jetliner decades ago by U.S. Navy ship and there have been other actions in the past. I don't see it as a reason to go to war, but it's certainly a reason for us to demand a full explanation from the Russians to demand some type of actions that they plan to take to make sure this doesn't happen again and to continue to warn them that we will defend NATO territory from attack. Should the president be saying every inch that line that we've heard repeatedly, he's even said, you know, whether it's on purpose or not, or have we gone too far to draw that red line without allowing for some flexibility over a potential screw up like this one. Well, I think it's important to be resolute. You're sending a message to at least two audiences. One Russia and number two, the allies. You're going to reassure the frontline states, the Baltics, Poland, et cetera, that we will be there to defend them. But you have to balance that out with a message to all the players and the American people that we need to get to the bottom of this first. And we need to sort out whether it was an accident or intentional. And intentionality makes a big difference here, particularly when you're talking about possibly escalating the conflict and injecting NATO into it. When you read, actually read the article 5, it refers to action as deemed necessary, mister secretary, including the use of armed force to restore security, implying that that's an option, one of potentially several options that the allies have to do this, even if it was on purpose, that does not guarantee a military response, right? No, that's right. A lot of people misread article to 5 to believe that it's just an automatic reaction military response. And frankly, what it means is that the decision has to go back to national capitals for decision first. And then consultation among the allies within NATO. So it's not automatic and they can consider a full range of responses. And I believe that this was an accident that appropriate response would be a diplomatic one. But on the other hand, we should consider what additional actions we should take NATO should

Right now, that is a Bloomberg radio business slash now here's the anger and more on our top stories. Good morning Leanne. Caroline good morning, China's economy grew at the slowest pace since a country was first hit by the coronavirus outbreak two years ago. GDP grew 0.4% in the second quarter underlining the impact of Beijing's stricter approach to controlling COVID economists had forecast 1.2% of growth. The reading means Beijing will likely miss its full year growth target by a wide margin. Now in Italy, the president has rejected Mario Draghi's offer to resign as a prime minister. It is a bid to avert a political crisis that would unsettle financial markets and leaves the door open to Draghi leading the government until elections are due next year, Draghi will address parliament early next week, though it's not yet clear what will follow next, and Saudi Arabia is to open its airspace to all airlines, including Israeli flag carrier LL, the move marks a small win for Biden as he works to advance U.S. strategic interests in his visit to the Middle East this week.

Leann, thank you. Well, let's get more on that story of mesley now ew economy commissioner Paolo gentiloni says that Europe is facing slower growth period as Russia's actions disrupt the economy, but that uncertainty remains about the future of Mario Draghi's time in office, gentil only saying that Draghi strong leadership has helped its economy to recover. He's been speaking about the European Commission growth and inflation forecasts, the commissioner warning that the risk of a full shutdown has become more than just a hypothetical scenario. Growth at 2.7 inflation at 7.6 this year. Of course, if we will have a complete gas cut, this scenario could even go in a more negative way. And here is Paolo gentiloni commenting on the leadership of Mario Draghi. Which such a strong leadership is the best solution to implement all our plan and especially our recovery and resilience plan. That was the economy commissioner pilot gentleman speaking in Brussels on Thursday. Well, of course, Italian markets were pummeled, weren't they after Draghi offered his resignation. The turmoil in Italy could, of course, make the job of the ECB harder joining us now from Rome is Bloomberg's at Italy government reporter chiara albanese are great to have you on radio this morning. What are markets most concerned about if the technocrat Draghi actually goes? Good question. Where can start? So in the short term, an Italy without Mario Draghi is a much weaker Italy. First of all, because it is very uncertain what would happen in the very short term. Italy has never held elections in the summer or either in the ocean. Due to the need to have like a fully functioning government in place in September to work on the budget load. So that would be just like a practical uncertainty in terms of who runs the country. But investors are also also very concerned and questioning what could happen with ambitious reform agenda that includes the justice reform and it also cutting into this is also now being questioned. Kiara, how much of a concern is this political terminal for the ECB? This is also a big concern. Clearly Italy is vulnerable. While dragging during is a month in power as managed to somehow start pushing the Italian finances back in check, community that there's nothing need to pass through any government that's being a moment of surging inflation of spiking energy prices. So this is also going to be problematic for any government coming and you can guess like somebody 8 models like there's not solved it. Who else can? Okay. A person for me is saying that Draghi will address lawmakers on Tuesday or Wednesday. I mean, the whole turmoil was triggered by the 5 star movement, but also by Draghi's reaction, which is I won't govern unless I've got the support of all the parties in the coalition. Yeah, drug has been very, very clear in his messages, like he is remaining as primitive. So only for the parties are in line. So while he's still has the support of a majority of lawmakers, that is not sufficient for him to continue. Now, this is not due to him being picky about it, is mostly because that would have otherwise kind of opened up the procedure by the parties and black nailing him as well for other measures. So either it's absolutely understandable why doggy is being extremely clear on that longing. Okay, Bloomberg's actually a government reporter chiara albanese.

Why Biden Won't Get Tough On Russia
"And let's talk about whether Joe Biden is actually doing enough to confront the threat that is Russia right now. I would argue no, and part of the reason why I say absolutely not is because he keeps telegraphing that we're not going to do this. We're not going to do that. Now, you know, I don't believe in saying we're not going to commit troops. Apparently today he was over in Poland and actually said something to the effect that we would be willing and then had to backtrack it. You know, I don't like the backtracking. Why not just say everything's on the table? I don't know what we're going to do, but you know what? We're going to respond in some way, shape, or form. He did say at one point that we would respond in kind and then Jake Sullivan, for The White House, had to pedal back and say, well, let me clarify, that doesn't mean chemical weapons. Why all the clarification? Why not just say, you know what? You mess with us. You mess with our friends. We will respond. And just leave it out in the open.

"National security adviser Jake Sullivan emphasized this would also involve the allies clamping down on attempts by other countries to help Russia get around them and existential threat to Russia could cause it to use nuclear weapons That's what a chief spokesperson for president Vladimir Putin told CNN This has been a special report I'm Brian chuck This is Bloomberg best on Bloomberg radio This is a special edition of Bloomberg best I'm head Baxter And ug to these Pellegrini Denise what makes a great investor Well that is a very important question and it's one a lot of people often do wonder about And that's one of the things that we had a chance to hear about from billionaire Ken Griffin A Griffin is the founder of the hedge fund Citadel He starts here though Denise on Bloomberg wealth with David Rubenstein telling David why he was willing to spend more than $43 million for a rare copy of the constitution So David I'm actually then in your territory because I know you've been incredible collection of American and frankly global historical documents As you know I'm a big art collector And to me collecting art is about collecting works of humanity where people have really broken the mold They've gone to an unconventional place Our founding fathers broke the mold of governance in the constitution In that document are so many values and principles that are just dearly important to me You know my story in the United States represents the American Dream And the American Dream is what the constitution provides for So to have a chance to be a steward of such an important part of our country's history is really important to me And I hope that by sharing the constitution across the country in various museums over the rest of my life I will help other people really think about the greatness of the accomplishment of our founding fathers in creating a system of governments that we call democracy And at this moment in time we're the very ethos of democracy gets challenged routinely in the popular press I think it's very important for us to take a step back and to think about how remarkable it is that we as a people write our own destiny So you don't see this as an investment You see this as a testament of your faith in our country This is a testament of my faith in our country and my belief in America You know over time it may or may not be an investment that yields returns It just wasn't that important to me So when you were bidding for this document there were a lot of competition and it was said that you were competing against a group of cryptocurrency people who had come together to either team with you or compete with you Did you ever consider teaming with them So I had not considered teaming with them during the auction itself And to be clear you could see in the days before the auction the stunning amount of money they raised to pursue the constitution of the United States There's that moment of take a deep breath This is going to cost a lot but it was really important to me to have the constitution in a collection where it would be shared with Americans and where that stewardship would exist For me the dial brought up some real concerns around governance First of all kudos to everybody who made that happen I mean what an incredible story to raise $40 million in just a few days to pursue buying the constitution But after the auction we actually reached out to the Dow about for example would you want an NFT for everybody who contributed a token or symbol of what you accomplished together as a community They couldn't even make that decision And so I'm really relieved that I ended up having bought the constitution because I know that the stewardship will be there And Dao decentralized by its very nature would we have had the stewardship that we want for such an important part of our nation's history Now as somebody who's bought some historic documents myself am I now going to have a new competitor in this world I don't think so And I know some of the great documents that you own and I admire your passion in the field This for me is such a Pinnacle of the American story It's one that grabbed me and motivated me in a way that will be hard to replicate with other documents So I don't think you'll see me as a competitor down the road I am really excited though that a crystal bridges where this will be displayed first They are being so thoughtful about the experience of people who have in understanding American history Talking about freedom of expression when you think about it what an artist is doing when he or she is painting something is expressing themselves You've been very supportive of a lot of artists and supported their careers and you bought a fair amount of art and you put it on display in many places around the world What is it that appeals to you about art To me art represents an element of humanity that it's our creativity It's our ability to great artists transcend the conception of what is art They change the very definition of the field So for example the American abstract artists of the 1950s radically redefined art or the impressionists in the 1880s did the same And I just I'm so fascinated by the men and women who choose to go outside of the lanes of tradition to do something radically new that changes our conception of beauty Now you have bought a fair amount of art recently that painted by African American artists bad squat is one of them and you have put one of his works of art one of his most famous works of art at the Art Institute have you focused on African American artists recently because of the problems we have in race in the United States or is there some other reason No I have a significant collection of art and I have an incredible collection of art by African American artists which I started building years ago for one simple reason It's great art I mean Mark Bradford is so talented and to have a chance to live with his works is such a privilege Basquiat is one of the greatest artists in American history I mean he went outside the boundaries of conventional art He really transformed our very conception of what art even means And so to have a chance again to own art by these individuals who were just in their field they were leaders They were the game changers They were to art with Steve Jobs was to music Or to a phone And I just have great admiration for people who are willing to extend the creative boundaries of humanity So as you look back on your career what would you say is the best investment advice you ever received Probably the best investment advice that I never received but that I've lived my whole life around is surround yourself with really good people I thought about it just today I do many times What makes a great investor A great investment firm is comprised of people who are optimists And pessimists and realists because in the intersection of the debates that go across that wide range of personalities is where you find truth It's part of the reason I'm so focused on freedom of expression I see it my own four walls the robust and Folsom debates around how we commit our capital what defines a good idea What businesses to build or pursue that's what drives the success that's Citadel And I've been very fortunate in life to have always had a group of friends who really push me who make me.

"Security adviser Jake Sullivan they're talking about the meeting he helped convene with some of the top tech companies over concerns about security with open-source software while settled in didn't have much to say about the meeting My next guest does I'm joined now by Philip venables He is the chief information security officer of Google Cloud and attended that White House meeting Phil what's your big takeaway How did it go You haven't I think it went really well You know it's very pleasing to see the government reaching out and seeking to collaborate with all of the large tech companies and the foundations and many other organizations And I think the interesting thing is already been a lot of work done on this For example the industry set up the open-source security foundation last year We and many other companies and specifically Google we committed over a $100 million to that and many other companies of committed likewise and pledge to that funding So there's a lot of work going on but it's really pleasing to see the government reaching out and wanting to partner with the private sector to really drive this important topic forward and making sure that we're probably appropriately defending the infrastructure that relies on open-source software Now with so many agencies and departments involved you've got the National Security Council sisa defense commerce Is it confusing as a private company like Google do you know where to turn when there are issues Yeah I mean we've got very very close partnerships I mean I think to the outside it can often seem confusing but for those of us that work in the industry we see each individual group within the government has its own particular purpose and they're increasingly coordinating very well and partnering with us So we have great partnerships with the National Security Council The White House cybersecurity director the DHS system organization There's many others And we recognize each has its purpose and they're quite well coordinated and in the private sector as well we coordinate amongst ourselves to drive that partnership forward So we think it works quite well I wouldn't say everything's perfect but things are things that are continuing to get better and that partnership is key Now look the concern is that millions of devices could be at risk right now If these kinds of collaborations don't happen what is the threat Well all about digitized society is highly dependent on software and large part of that is open-source software The good news is a lot of that software is already quite well maintained There's a lot of highly curated projects that are managed by the large tech companies in partnership with the maintainers But there is still a long tail of other issues as we've seen recently And so we definitely need to keep improving And through things like the open-source security foundation the commitments we've made the commitments that we're partnering with government on we're going to keep working through all of the other issues to keep helping helping make sure we're managing the risk here And I don't think any of us are taking any less vigilance on this It's going to be a big area of focus for the entire tech industry All of the consumers are open-source software and it's key for us to keep partnering with the government and having that strong public private partnership to really drive the agenda forward to defend all of our critical infrastructure Now I got to ask you because the House select committee just subpoenaed alphabet and other companies for more information tied to the January 6th attacks And this is a security issue potentially even a cybersecurity issue Do you think YouTube played a role in those attacks Well I'm sure there's plenty of people at Google that are going to work effectively on talking about those issues Not for me today my entire focus today has been on the open-source security issue and partner with government to just defend our critical infrastructure So that's been all of my focus and it's a big part of my focus going forward So look given we're approaching you know we're going into another election What kind of assurance can you give us Can you give Google's users that Google is taking all the precautions with their accounts And their information given that the attackers the cyberattackers are always one step ahead it seems So we have very large numbers of highly capable teams that work across all of the cyber threats that face all of our all of our products and services and we're very very focused on protecting our users Our consumers are enterprise customers and partnering with their security teams and partnering with all the relevant government agencies So very key focus for us and it's something that we're always vigilant about especially as threats evolve And we're paying a lot of attention to this and partner with the right organizations to make sure we can stay focused on that protecting our protecting our users and our customers All right filled edibles Google Cloud's chief information security officer Thank you for joining us Coming up When TikTok stars make more.
