let's put it this way, it gets worse for fake news cnn. we will never be the crazy rage hate trump psychotic media mob ever. we will always pursue the truth. laura ingraham is live. hey, laura. >> laura: the camera angles on whether they come a little and cameras. they are not flattering. if that's all i'm going to say, they are not flattering angles. if were focusing on that. could they have a better angle, if you're going to do an undercover angle, can you let the people look their best, that's my point >> sean: the content is the problem, the content is what matters. you're worried about camera angles. >> laura: you know what, hannity, the fact that cnn is pro-impeachment, it's like, you know, we all know that's. so why is that? >> sean: remember. we did an investigative report. >> laura: we did all that, i'm glad we have it confirmed that

he doesn't like fox and more impeachment and wakes up dreaming about it. that's what i'm looking forward to. >> sean: you're ahead of at&t tidewater, one has to wonder if it's going to be impactful. >> laura: never doubt the ability of people to fail upwards breed we have seen failure of dell micro where the before. >> sean: by the way, when you get shown door here, it will happen today. i been expecting it for three plus years, we get the door here, obviously. >> laura: we will be on the front lines. if i'm laura ingraham, and that's the "the ingraham angle." a former independent counsel can start warning tonight to that house democrats are in fact abusing their power to go after trump. so why every american should be

concerned about the impeachment in moments, plus, california is going from lexus dream to an american nightmare. if you're not going to believe the radical list inflammation. it just signing into law there and what's the real story about hunter biden and china. michael pillsbury has spoken to communist leaders about the former vp sun and is here to fill us all in. but first, sean punish and silence. if that's the focus of tonight's angle. it's a strong temptation to just shrug off the significant left would shift of the democrat party. if you dig about this way, they're never going to win the white house, it's nothing to worry about. they've increasingly clear that the french is today's democrat party and the math is off. >> there could be nowhere more words, benefits tax rate might

break, for any organization that denies the false human rights and civil rights of every single one of us. we must stand up as a nation to say that it cannot be an excuse to die people health insurance, education or more. this cannot happen. there has to be consequences for discrimination. where religion is being used as an excuse to harm other people. >> laura: it's like one giant echo chamber. a pretty much all the democrats at the cnn equality town hall last week were nodding and their own in agreements. they all have to pass the new democrats in 2020. they do not being the only transparent enough to say it explicitly, but make no mistake about where we are. none of the viable democratic candidates will respect religious liberty rights if they in any way conflict with the

rapidly evolving secular mind-set. now, i said that's recently, once only kind of fashionable among the left of vanguard and the college campuses is being gradually embraced and hugged by today's aoc plus three democrat themed party. of translation, if the democrats went to the white house, christian, dan, the muslim institutions that teach, and sexuality will be shunned, punished, and ultimately silenced by government action. >> even people will agree with the on the underlying point that conservative electricians , mosques, islamic organizations, and numbers of affiliated they could all lose their status under such a plan. >> it should be as you best see feet but you're not allowed to discriminate against people in this country. >> laura: so the answer, is

yes, moments of candor are all too far and feel. only when beto saw the potential for the political fallout later on that he try not to walk all that back. putting out statements. remember, none of the candidates on stage with him last week they did not object. again, a big echo chamber of course he is right. what turned out to be a kind of uncannily timed appearance at notre dame law school happen on friday. attorney general barr warns of the bold new attacks on the bill of rights by the stormtroopers of the secular left. >> this is not decay, this is organized destruction. secularists and their allies have marshaled all the forces, the populating popular entertan religion and traditional values. >> laura: it used to be the democrats were all about

tolerance. just going to let you live your lives and let you live our lives and it will all be fine. liberalism, libertarian, fox is basically agrees that it's a punishing banning speech or running roughshod to, it was dangerous. that's what dictators do. but today, the new people are people of faith or traditional strata who dared to stand afoot a full crowd. the shunning and shaming may not involve a scarlet letter, but the effect is the same. don't do business with in portables, don't let them into the universities your clubs, or your companies. and almost bowed to the secular creed. speak out those who do defy the creed risk if you go to burning at the states. social educational and professional ostracism and exclusion wage through lawsuits and savage social media

campaigns. >> laura: barr nailed it. remember they made a similar claim many, many times about the second amendment. now there openly talking about the mandatory gun confiscation. >> are you proposing taking away their guns and how would this work? >> i am if it's a weapon that was designed to kill people on the battlefield. yes, you're going to take your ar-15s in your ar 47. >> laura: millions of those taken. already on the local level, we have seen this aggressive push by the secular fanatics and public schools. in orange county, california, of all places, parents were shocked to last year to find out that they couldn't opt out of the controversial gender identity curriculum that they believe was neither age-appropriate or medically accurate. planned parenthood and finger, other act of its group were all

of her age don't like shared similar stories about the traditional human reproduction curriculum there. meanwhile, showing about 54% of students in the santa barbara school district are actually proficient in english-language and the literacy. again, there'll be no dissent. and religious beliefs do not inflate you. >> the states are requiring local communities to make your public schools and hospitable to families with traditional religious values. those families are implicitly told that they should conform or leave. >> laura: no went and the 2020 democrat field is strong enough to stand up to the secularist radicals. two wanted to be doing much of anything and penning on the face of anderson cooper was frankly an exercise in outer and complete humiliation.

even he had a spoof the candor fest. speak know me , i went back on marriage equality and whether where illegal, whether,, transgender, you're all okay with me. >> i have some apple slices backstage and they're hitting me like cooking. >> i went to harvard but they didn't teach you where to put your arms. >> don't they think i'm dodging the question so i'm going to go now now. >> laura: the democrats have the whole thing before with the move to the left. think about doing to candidacy, i think it takes eventually another electoral whipping to force the democrats to wake up. they are not most of america is and neither remember the bill of rights protects speech and association and read religs rights. they are protected, their inalienable rights. right now, today's democrats who

thought leaders are the socialist squad, they intend to rule you, not represent you. no wonder so many of them seem to have a soft spot for china. >> china is going to eat our lunch, come on, man. they're not bad folks, but guess what, they're not -- they're in competition for us. >> laura: it's a thing called real election. look, obama didn't much like traditional americans but he knew at least how to patronize them. his successor is already pretending these days, they want you punished, period. >> have a very low regard for people for no he's doing wrong but enabling, they will go down in history as despicable actors. >> laura: they have to be punished and if they cap control again, the doj, and all the fedl departments and agencies, they will make sure this time that

those of you who claim your guns and relations will pay dearly. libertarians, you're going to face some hard questions in 2020. do you think the first amendment is worth saving? do you believe that your fellow american should be punished by the government no less just because they don't agree with whatever secularist claim is now mainstream? if the democrats win, given the support that they have from the media and academia in hollywood, it will be nothing to restrain them. not even the supreme court which they've already threatened to pack anyway. if they don't agree with the secularist collective, they will try to drive you from public life. and destroy you. submit or be shunned, agree or be abolished. that's a reality should be at the forefront of voters minds next november. and that's "the angle." here to respond, chairman of the

american conservative union my fellow of the american principal project, raymond arroyo, fox news contributor. raymond, the 2020 band, tryin to back away fro the freedom state statements made, is the strikingly really credible? >> am not sure it is, laura, because every one of them supports a quality act. speaker pelosi proposes last march, essentially, would give a loophole more protection than the little sisters, let me qualify that. this is an antidiscrimination that exalts a identity, gender preference, about just about anything else. it's a real-world implications, hospitals that refuse to perform certain gender reassignment surgeries and they could be shut down. religious grounds, there are no religious exemptions under the equality act. when you talk about orphanages,

about kids who think they're transgender, the parental rights could be taken away from parents if they deny these kids certain hormonal treatments or surgical treatments. as i mentioned, the little sisters of before, they've been battling the obamacare. if not legislation, just the rule that force them to denied their own contract and pay for contraception's. if they're still battling that's in court and obama signed it. >> laura: this is -- i want everyone to understand tonight, this is so important ethic a lot of people aren't covering this, this is actually where there's a real skin in the game. this is not hyperbole. this sounds good to call something equality act, but like so many other pieces of legislation, the euphemistic language doesn't capture what's in the details. >> what really was was empowerment to the trial to go after the catholic church and

the christian churches and shut them down. here we are today, where to the point where beto says you can't really be a church if you give us terminate discriminating against believers and people of faith in the country, the take away consumption to the church and you not going to allow institutions like the university of notre dame to receive any kind of federal benefits for students. if that's absolute discrimination. let me tell you, i see this next campaign, it's not about socialism, it's about secularism and there's a combination of the two. socialists it's about the economics, they don't respect your right to have your own beliefs and to make your own decisions. >> laura: for them, they think your beliefs, it's judeo, it's christian, it's muslim. he was very explicit that, and the beto as an outlier, he's on an outlier. aoc is as close to being a

thought leader is the democrat party as there is today. >> this isn't about the the promotion of secularism, but to be very clear about this, this is canceling christianity. that's what's going on here. it's canceling traditional values even amongst jim doe my jewish families, christian families this goes back interestingly about 2005 and lay consideratio consideration. they also responded to a conference at yale, it was called the rehab rehabilitatine constitution and by 2020 it was called constitution 2020, they could range the whole thing, removing the undergirding of what america is. when you thing about what has happened since i conference and what the people that were there and they were in the obama administration, were not coming after your guns. the library to look at this now, gay marriage will be the end of it and were not going to go any further. loud. la. >> laura: obama said he was

against gay marriage. it was a lie. >> do you trust the people who is consistently now lie to you time and time again about incursions into your private life into your children's lives and into the fact as raymond was saying earlier, an act that you will have young men running against running track against young girls in school. >> laura: happening all over high school in connecticut, huge huge issue. if so, again, people want to say we don't like this tweet or that sweet or trumps tone. at one point it's a choice between religious liberty, free expression, the first amendment, the entire bill of rights. were going to get into the next segment, they want to hold a tribunal to pick a president out of office and secrets. >> it just doesn't make political sense. the democrats, this didn't get covered in august, the

democratic national committee to, they voted on a proclamation to exalt and venerate those with no religious affiliation. technically people who are eggnog agnostic or atheist, or in trumps cap a try win the people over. and it's a wall that pushes religious people and religious especially for their outside with a consider the mainstream. if this is suicide for the democratic party. i don't know why they would do this. but supporting the equality act, i don't see how it ends well politically for them. in the national race. >> laura: means that donald trump has to make this a issue, this is women, bombs -- it's people across the board. they want to be able to raise their cares but they are told that there are evil and discriminatory and their terrible people and all other things that they are told. and people don't like that, leave me alone, don't cram down

your values to me. by the way, cory booker said he would use the federal government to target schools that resist this agenda. watch. >> to allow people to use the bathrooms but we cannot stop there. we must use the department of justice and the department of education and civil rights division to go after schools that are denying people equal rights and equal protection. >> laura: mats, more people are seeing the town hall on the show but its importance, were playing it for a reason. most people that watch list, this is where the party is going. you using government as a weapon against people. >> it started with obama, spying on reporters, sing fcc lawyers into newsrooms. it was the d.c. government asking for the sermons and pastors seeing if there is hate speech and know you have cory booker who is literally running to the president of the

united states and he's going to use the doj to against them can people who have the same beliefs that george washington had and our founders. >> laura: obama -- i mean, obama would be considered what today? in this democrat party, when he campaigned and when he said. red state america, blue state, no, no, no, they want to just be blue state america. red state america, if you do df opiate addiction, that's too bad we don't care about you. >> yet greta thunberg approved r straw pea shooter and stead of . >> laura: there is dishonest moments in the media, this is one of them, elizabeth warren had a viral moments at last week's town hall after an audience member asked this question. >> the supporter approaches you and said my senator, i'm old-fashioned and they teaches

me that marriage is between one man and one woman, what's your response? >> i'm going to assume it's a guy that said that, and i'm going to say, just marry one moment. assuming you can find one. >> laura: i mean, raymond, turns the question are of course, he knew it was choreographed, it was so obviously planned. someone named morgan actually is a bag don't like big warren donor. he's reached the legal max twice for the campaign of warren and her presidential campaign. they pulled out the little scheme and cnn, they know about it and the refined about this, and tucker was at plotting ads, whatever. it was >> it was a huge response, but let me lay it outy think. there's a rich religious to social network in this country. they serve the homeless, they pay educational leader, and

hospitals, we are risking shedding all of those down. orphanages have already gone out of business, hospitals are endangered, i just read the case, a man identifying as a woman wanted access to a woman's homeless shelter they turn him down. he continually suing him trying to get access to the place. what you think they're going to eventually do, either shut down or give up because of the litigation? this is what the quality act ends this patient being cut for it could lead us to. it's a bad end. a better america come about for those looking and needing help on the streets to nine. >> laura: across the board, this conversation is critical for the election next year. these are the issues that must not be started. people have the guts to talk about them and they go right to parental rights. guys, thank you so much tonight. coming up, house democrats continue conduct their impeachment probes behind closed doors. g.o.p. lawmaker tried to figure out what they were up to but he was probably kicked out of the hearing.

ken starr response to exactly what that means. what are they trying to hide? next. ♪

♪ >> adam schiff trying to run a kangaroo fort. yc try to limit access for even members of congress? >> laura: that was congressman matt gaetz after adam schiff kicked them out from impeachment hearing today. he tried to sit in of the security council on russia which was being held of course behind closed doors. but having one republican sit and on the secret hearing proved to be too much for adam schiff. >> we want to make sure that the investigation and not to give the president or his legal minions the opportunity to tailor their testimony and in

some cases, fabricate a testimony to suit their interests. >> laura: oh, is that it's, adam? for doe mike joining us now, ken starr, and former doj prosecutor, another day and another closed-door hearing. should americans be worried here? about how any political party, this happens to be the drummer s this time. this time, ten hours of testimony. >> there should be deep concerns. in america, we do not believe in secret trials. remember, guantanamo and the cries, we need to open these things up that involve national security. we are now talking about the fundamental and political act or attempt, to remove a president of the united states. if there were ever a need for governments, pick up all the

acts that are designed to allow the american people to have information. it's we the people, those are the words of the preamble, it's a constitutional front that this process continues, not adam schiff, it's the speaker of the how house, and it's very unorthodox. of >> laura: these legal experts, the last four or five days have been saying, well, this just constitutional -- this is not constitutional prerogative. at the house can determine its own rules to proceed for impeachment. while the president might indicate that should be a little bit more open maybe even a boat, he's complained about procedures are not constitutionally grounded. to what you say? >> it's a little cavalier, the constitution doesn't spell out every nook and cranny and how you're supposed to conduct yourself grade i think the founding fathers had some crazy notion to operate in good faith and we be sparing and our approach we had people of

good judgment like this guy, judge starr who would know some thing about impeachment that would be the show, because they know this advocates of the moments and the importance of what they are doing. it cries out for transparency in comparison to what we see with schiff. >> laura: chadha, are reporter on capitol hill is saying that who is formally with an fce staff said there was concern and alarm about efforts to press you carried into investigating. these alarms were raised with nsc lawyers. she just five or ten hours and her testimony is leaking out of what they claim like a grand jury. do grand jury's traditionally have such leaks as these? >> no, absolutely not. it's a crime for a federal grand jury. a witness can go out and testify or to make comments, hold press conferences, and so forth.

but, no, the prosecutor in the grand jurors are sworn to secrecy. that is overwhelmingly honored and our system. i know this all too painfully well because i was accused, our team was accused of leaking grand jury information. we were called to give accounts and we are exonerated. secrecy has a place in american criminal justice. this is not a criminal process. this is the ultimate kind of political action where the house of representatives. think about some of the house of representatives, 435 of them, none of this has been authorized in the traditional way. namely, let's have a debate on the floor of the house so that the american people can watch and come to their own views and let's have about. if that called basic accountability. i think it's an abuse of power by the speaker of the house of representatives. >> laura: they're hiding the transcripts, they do not want the transcript out. they will leak, oh, they were

alarmed. the former bush nsc person who put doe mike was on for sometime in the trump administration. they were alarmed. that's the only thing people here. without a transcript, you can't really test the proselytization who is alarmed about why. nor can you test motivation. he spoke out about this today. let's watch that actually. >> the testimony, if you actually believe we should treating this as grand jury testimony, you shouldn't be leaking and cherry picking any fact that you think can fit your narrative. chairman schiff, release the transcripts. don't give me the grand jury b.s. because you are leaking any information that you fit to spun positively. it is fiction. >> laura: >> cherry picking is t right word, he has a history of verdict first, evidence later and that's how he conducted himself. if we don't improve my rules, whatever they may be, that's

article of impeachment. of the history of where this is going is horrifying in terms of the precedent of this is that. >> laura: the things that's been brought up over the last two days, i find that all areas, oh, the white house counsel clearly prepares this letter with input from the presidents. okay. so, first of all, first of all, they would know any of that and it's all made up. why is that another absurd point? of course, not addressing any factual points, but no, from the letter of the white house counsel, why this investigation and impeachment investigation was invalid. but why is that point more evidence that they are on thin thin ground here? the democrats. of >> because it's for press pe us. he is a great client and the president of the united states grade obviously, he doesn't

send, well, here's my view. he's consulting with his client the president. it's outlandish and over-the-top. one final point i would make, i don't see a transcript. the great engine for truth ever invented and then american system is cross examination. as well as a public trial. witness credibility, jim can speak to this, we want to get the witness on the stand under oath and have cross examination. then we can come to the own conclusions. >> laura: they say will do that, that's what they will say. speak out they have done their damage in the house proceedings with cherry picked info. >> laura: they have that and he goes down in history as the impeached president, that's what they want and it's all about 2020. thank you so much, great to see you both nights. i had it, to get a sense of where the left wants to take us, just look at california.

don't put law enforcement at risk, but i do law can impact your kids as well. if hunter binding claims this e this is noted himself in the whole story. we will ask plaintiff though ♪

announcing yesterday they cut back on random traffic stops. this comes after months of pressure activists and "los angeles times" reports the cactuses are racist. joining me now, former l.a.p.d. detective. mark, what kind of message does a sense of the police on the front line? >> it's interesting, laura, when you read everything and all the statistics, nobody actually even addresses what the crime problem is that actually is creating the need for metro to go into a division. we are not talking about the crimes, or the description of the suspects. when i hear random traffic stops, i don't even know what that is. every traffic stop needs probable cause to actually stop that vehicle. whether it's a traffic violation and equipment violation, it looks like a vehicle that was

used in a crime, or the suspecte people in the vehicle look like the suspects or being involved in the crime. need some thing. what is random? i have no idea. >> laura: the statistics of violent crime. 27t, you 29,661 violent crime. by 2018, it was 22,000, 632. looks like it's going in the right direction. already in 2019, 21,717. i mean, that is kind of wild. we have a problem with mass homelessness, we have a problem with drug legalization. everything that's bond, all the police telling me that drug legalization has been a nightmare for them. now we have this. it's activists who claim discrimination based on, i guess, ultimately the results of probable cause stops.

>> well, they want you to believe that, but they are not bringing you the statistics across the states and all across the city and across the county of los angeles. who is committing the crimes and what kind of crimes? when you're talking about violent crimes, who is those crimes? what race? what, what age group? that is your target when you go into a division when you're trying to suppress crime when you're blanketing an area and trying to cut doe mike suppress crime, you're trying to identify the violators and creates a intelligence network of who is e street and documents where they were and when. this is police work and somehow, the state of california wants the police work to stop. if they want everything to be just rosie but they don't want everybody to have to do anything that might look ugly. but police work is ugly sometimes and that's the way it is. >> laura: i dickey signed a bill saying people don't have to help police

officers. you don't have to assist a police officer in need in a situation. >> you know, laura -- >> laura: it's all feeling really wrong to me. of across board. it's an effort to be politically correct when you look at the numbers from 20's 15 to 2018, the share of black driver stopped stopped and l.a. by the specialized metro drivers doubled their share of the population. they stake doe mike take the statistic, hard to see it there, you take the statistic and it doesn't look good. from the numbers protective. >> laura, laura, that statistic is clear completely flawed. they take the entire city of los angeles and then they concentrate the stops that are created in south los angeles in the very heart of where they have a crime problem where there might be 75 or 80% black. so, if you're looking for black suspects, you should stop black

suspects. >> laura: for not of us are going to not let this go because it's going to be a raging debate and people will suffer because of the stupid decisions. mark, thank you very much, speaking of california, very business under minding the second moment. friday, he signed a sweeping gun control measures and making it easier for the state to confiscate people's firearms. coming to an estate near you, if the democrats win in november. that same day, he sent a bill requiring abortion bill took students on campus. all right, dan, i would say you want to see with the democratic party is headed it over country is headed under their leadership, look at aoc plus three or california. am i wrong there? >> no, you're not, i feel bad for some of the good conservatives who live in

california. i gave a speech out there a little while ago, and it was packed. there really being screwed, it's become an incubator for stupidity. you want to really dumb policy that's no basis, you look at california and new york and i'm sure will throw one at you. this gun control policy, california, what evidence do they have that any of this is going to work? listen, i'm pro-life from conception to natural steps, but i get there other people have differences of opinion. i think they are wrong in the public i'm wrong. give me one reason i should fund the termination of life and the will because you feel differently than i do. it's like i should fund a gun program to put every gun in america, liberals would laugh at me. it's just a crazy policy. ethan >> laura: ethan, thoughts on this braden >> it's wrong, and the firearms the injury lower tt

gun control, like its dramatically lower than the loose gun law states, of course california leads the way and saying, they set it forth with justice writing and section three that the second amendment was not a unlimited rights. on the topic of abortion, it's only good for the first ten weeks. if this is back to roe v. wade, the first trimester, the woman has the right to control their own body. look, if you want to cut down on the abortions, support me and saying we need contraceptives to be more freely and readily available. so we can say, reducing the abortion rate is tied in. in. >> laura: ethan, you have any concern about religious or conscious rights in the democratic party? we started out the show by talking about that given nato'ss comments and colleges, religious institutions, if they run afoul against whatever the secular mind-set of though momentous,

they could lose their tax-exempt status. if you agree with that? >> here's the deal, i'm a religious person, i belong to a congregation, my family is. beddoe did not say, if you believe something, you're going to lose your tax exam to come out of your going to operate in the public space. >> laura: so does the catholic church, so, dan, is the catholic church or the orthodox church, the mosque, if they refuse to hire a transgender person? they will be sued and they will not stop until they have to change their policy, by later conference, that will be shut down. >> it's a stroke of brilliance there, you're allowed to think religiously, but god forbid you practice it. i love how -- i didn't interrupt you now, so please let me talk. okay, thank you very much. i love how he skirts over the

fact that cities have stricter gun laws, he aggregates the data at the state, cities that have strict gun laws like chicago, l.a., new york and d.c. have become blood baths. he wants the data completely, oak, don't worry, tang for a tax player, there's no big deal, bes old. no big deal, he skirts over all dads completely and never actually gets to the question. nice liberal trek. nice job. they do it right, quite well. >> laura: speaking as a former embryo t-shirt, obviously, religious institutions are not happy about this. but, ethan, do you think the democrats are on a fine line and walking a fine line on this issue of the first amendment, religious liberty, free expression, when it comes to these types of threats that we are hearing coming from the more prominent thought leaders of the democratic party? yes or no?

>> yes, i believe liberty is very important in the country. again, i corrected you on that beddoe statements, i think there's a difference. yes, there are things that are happening that always worry me that the pendulum swings one way or the other, we need to be careful of that we have to respect people who choose not to follow religion and who choose to be atheist, choose to be -- >> laura: time to go to our church is. they don't have to go to our churches. they can go to -- we don't care. we are not forcing our views on you, but the other way around, they're forcing our views on us. that's the problem. >> the department did today, on the front page of the department, disagreeing with ads, christian leader from secretary pompeo. that's not right either. >> laura: great to have you both on, and always, what's the business of hunter aydin bidend

biden with the chinese. >> no, i raised the issue of the biden family. >> laura: no pressure was put on you to go to china or hong kong to try to get information on the biden investigation or lack of investigation? >> that's what the left-wing press is trying to -- >> laura: they're trying to discredit you, that's what they try to do, everybody that works with trump is a terrible awful person. no it in the mainstream media is doing any work on hunter biden e interview with him on nbc. >> are looking at 2012. >> laura: it's a done deal, conspiracy theory, but you are apparently fishing around for information. >> i wasn't, i was in hong kong and i stopped over one half a day on the way back to see american ambassador and embassy. i did not see any chinese officials at all. all of a sudden, there's a headline on rolling stone, and pillsbury got intelligence about the biden family. >> laura: part of the smash

campaign. don't they have some good writers, i guess, but it's a smash. there's no real effort. i have to say, there is new news that came out about the extent of the money that the nba is making with a china connection. $1.5 billion in revenue from the $0.10 social media streaming of nba games. we learned about the protection racket that's going on in the nba with china no one can criticize and you got to be quiet and no policy. all these guys, all these other players, what's going on? the mass really off isn't there no mike it's? >> looks like an operation going on. they spend lots of money and big targets with a vice president biden, or nba, this is a topic of the institute of independent scholar study last year. just how clever china is.
