gordon chang, great to see you. what do you make of the response of the regime so early on to this?hing yet. >> we have -- have 180 ngos, non-governmental organizations. i think it's an excellent idea, steve. this is something we need to talk and put pressure on biden to make sure the u.s. does not participate. steve: can you explain? you know them so well. why is a boycott particularly something they would hate and therefore something we would want to change the policies of the regime, would want to encourage? >> the chinese regimes see the olympics as legitimizization of its right to rule. this boycott undercuts its notion of survivability. i believe the international olympic committee must move the games and ban the participation of china's teams in further olympics. they are creating genocide and other crimes against humanity. they are preventing minorities from participating in the games. that was the rationale used to ban south africa. south africa had apartheid, but china has been killing uighurs, committing genocide, institutionalized slavery. steve: it's amazing when you pu

gordon chang is a senior fellow of the keith stone institute, author of the great u.s.id that china was committing. the new administration said against the test to get harvested for their body parts and all other horrible things, but the new administration's position is that this is just a slight variation in u.s. chinese cultural norms. >> oh, clearly. this is horrific. by suggesting that those crimes against humanity flow from different cultural norms, what joe biden was saying is that china's culture is brutal. also he was saying that it was racist. i'm sure joe biden who talks speak of those crimes are committed against racial minori. i'm sure, joe biden who talks about white supremacy, he got dangerously close to expressing white supremacist sentiments. i'm sure he didn't want to do that, but that's what he did. a lot of chinese-americans today are outraged by what he said. >> mark: you're right, it's completely offensive to chinese people, this is not the act -- what they do is not the act of a repressive communist regime, but something that apparently chinese peo

gordon meade is handed on the 2. june we should ask ourselves. why would lincoln take the risk of changing the commanders now? he didn't know there's gonna be a battle fought in three days, but he knows there's going to be thought soon well his thought is if the commander has a different vision onto richmond then i have that strategic if i swap commanders, that's an operational or a tactical risk. i'm willing to take that. and so he changes the commander on the june now meade isn't lincoln's first choice. he's arguably his second or his fourth depending how much credibility you put in the conversations between other generals. and when other generals would turn it down always the next question was if not you who and to a man. they all say i trust george gordon meade. now his orders are fine robert e. lee fight robert e lee and stay between robert e lee and washington and baltimore now. he's giving a special power unique of he's allowed to ignore seniority at this point. the war the senior rank is a two-star general in the middle of a battle if we all got up on the hill alone. hey, we're all two stars. that's a
