xi jinping, we can just look at what he says. has told the pla to be ready to invade taiwan by 2027. that is under trump or harris. americans are faced with a choice, who do you think can deter xi jinping from making a fatal calculation of invading the island? do you want that to be trump or harris? i don't think she has demonstrated the capacity to be able to deter any of these leaders based off of what she and biden have overseen. a 9/11 happened when i was a sophomore in college, so in almost 20 years of working in diplomacy, military intelligence, this is the most troubling time i have seen because there is a real feeling that there is not somebody that has their hand on the steering wheel. i think we are in a very dangerous place, a very serious place. and i would argue again -- i will cede this point. when we were doing the economic pressure campaign against iran, iran downed one of our drones. i sat up that night eating tuna fish and chinos sitting at my desk, and our response didn't happen to the iranians for downing that

xi jinping will be there. and turkey's president, a non-brics leader.y are anxious to join the group and erdogan will be present. lula sustained a head injury and home and had to cancel before coming. tom: to what extent is this going to be a talking shop and to what extent is it an attempt by putin to bolster his international standing? is there anything that will be hammered out at this meeting and to what extent is their unanimity or at least agreement on some of these key issues for the brics nations? greg: that's a key point to bring out. in a lot of ways this is a group for these countries to come together but they have diverse interests and motivations. there are significant issues on the agenda. one of those is how to replace the u.s. dollar. russia is heavily sanctioned and it is seeking to d dollar eyes trade. but not all countries are on board with that. some are skeptical of replacing the dollar as a reserve currency even as they promote using natural -- national currencies and bilateral trade. another issue is the expansion of brics. there'

coming up, president xi jinping warns of potential obstacles ahead for china. in his first speech after beijing's stimulus barrage as the country's golden week holiday gets underway. more on that next. this is bloomberg. ♪ tom: the holiday kicks off just days after beijing announced stimulus measures aimed at boosting consumption and hitting those growth targets. i am joined by minmin low out of hong kong, not on holiday today. what do we expect in terms of the golden week activity, a pickup in terms of china's consumer? minmin: that is the first big test, whether the euphoria we are seeing in the chinese stock market will translate to a recovery in consumption sentiment on the ground. that's an open question. the chinese government is expecting close to 2 billion trips on shore, a near 20% surge compared to 2019 levels, but key to watch is not the total number of trips but the per capita spending, because that still has lagged. during the may day holidays, it beat pre-pandemic levels. the question is how much momentum is behind that? that europe is said to be

. >> of somehow kamala harris managed to win this she would have to deal with xi jinping whom we dealta baby. he would take all the candy away very quickly and she would not have any idea what happened. it would be like a grand chest master plan playing a beginner. we would lose our country or be in world war iii, it could be that would happen because she would get exasperated. she is in no way able to handle it. she's a fierce individual. maria: the new chicago council on the global affairs and finds americans view of china has hit a record low, they were asked to rate their feelings toward china from 0 - 100 and the average response was 26, china appears to be playing nice with u.s. partners ahead of a possible trump return to the white house while they are complicit behind-the-scenes with propaganda and surveillance. hudson institute senior fellow atlas organization founder and the author of the decisive decade, jonathan dt ward, am i correct to say that jonathan dt ward is back from his honeymoon. >> that is correct. >> congratulations. great to see you. let's talk china for a mome

at some point, getting to a strategic modus and happen only after xi jinping, that's entirely possible, and thinking about building a domestic political consensus and those components will be essential to the kind of world that we aspire to. or the world that we envision in writing this volume. >> that's really interesting. steven, i wonder if you have a reaction to that. to focus on this, but in thinking about the u.s., domestic narrative. what do you think we should or shouldn't do? >> well, my reaction is that evan nailed it. so, i had some footnotes. >> okay. >> you know, i do think one thing, in our domestic narrative of the relationship, right now, the basic narrative, if you read the national security strategy from the trump administration, the biden administration, basically the u.s. pursuit of engagement, china didn't deliver the things it was supposed to deliver, therefore we must clamp down on x, y and z. and that ours for china were naive, even belligerent sounding if you tell them you expect their regime to change, et cetera, even through soft means or hard ones, so we hav

but xi jinping wants to get that done while he's still alive, and he's an old guy, so you he doesn't have too long to make it work out. there's discomfort inside the party among the older members of the party for that. and the military is not really very tightly organized at the moment, we can see that from the people that they've pulled out of key positions. so, they're not in a spot where they can do that. the philippines, they can make a lot of trouble there and all over the south china sea, and there's not much we can do about it, because we're stretched between ukraine and israel, and we're not paying much attention to what china's doing out there. >> john, what we saw today also was sort of china's response to increasing tariffs, being put on their products around the world. we saw them put retaliatory tariffs on brandy, for instance, out of europe, in response to europe's taxation of evs. how far along does this go, and how do you see this playing out next year, after the elections? because both -- either administration looks to have sort of a very tough view on china. >> abso

done in georgia, crimea, and now ukraine, they're out of their minds and if anybody thinks that xi jinping in china will take from the experience with ukraine and if putin can get away with ukraine then pain can get away with taiwan and then it is really a crisis of global proportions. >> i want to listen to the way the vice president fainted at the debate because she expanded the area of concern there from not just ukraine, but neighboring poland, and what that could mean to american voters. let's listen to that. >> putin's agenda is not just about ukraine. understand why the european allies and our nato allies are so thankful that you are no longer president, and that we understand the importance of the greatest military alliance the world has ever known, which is nato, and what we have done to preserve the ability of zelenskyy and the ukrainians to fight for their independence. otherwise, putin would be sitting in cave with his eyes on the rest of europe, starting with poland, and why don't you tell the 800,000 polish americans right here in pennsylvania how quickly you would give up fo

there were balloons as xi jinping really talked about, the importance of national achievements, about modernization, about moving to the future so this idea, this notion of reunifying taiwan to the motherland she shouldn't pink sprayc are really is not that much of surprise. it very much falls into these themes that we've heard during this national day holiday. let's listen to xi jinping and his remarks from last night is china's sacred territory. >> people on both sides of the streets are related by blood. and blood is thicker than water and xi jinping saying that no one can stop the march of history these are phrases that we have heard before or in the spirit of before from beijing taiwan also responding again declaring its sovereignty we have seen some tension in recent weeks, increased tension. there have been more military drills. we have seen the u.s. lend its support to this region further. but china stand or taiwan, i should say, standing very resolute on its independence as china asserts itself as a global power, max okay? >> marc stewart in beijing. thank you so much. we'll

president putin has met xi jinping at the brics summit in russia, calling the chinese leader a �*dearfriend the two countries should work together to create what he called a just world order. police in the united states have arrested the former boss of the fashion chain, abercrombie and fitch, and his partner on suspicion of sex trafficking. prosecutors accused mikejeffries and matthew smith of the sexual exploitation and abuse of men at events they hosted. america's top diplomat, antony blinken, on a visit tojerusalem, has urged israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, to capitalise on the recent killing of hamas�*s leader by securing the release of all hostages and ending the conflict in gaza. facebook and instagram owner meta is to introduce facial recognition technology to try and crack down on scammers who fraudulently use celebrities in adverts. it will work by comparing images from ads flagged as being dubious with celebrities�* facebook or instagram profile photos. if the image is a confirmed to be a match, and the ad a scam, it will be automatically deleted. a lot of early voti

now, this was not necessarily a political speech that we heard from xi jinping or focus on policy. but he did bring up this taiwan question and the importance of almost reuniting with the motherland. let's take a listen to some of his remarks. >> hi laila. sure. >> taiwan is china's sacred territory. people on both sides of the strength to or related by blood and blood is thicker than water this an example of not stopping the march of history. china is in a bit of a challenging time. yes, the stock market has been doing well, thanks new stimulus, but there are some looming economic issues that china will have to confront in its history, including high youth unemployment as well as white-collar workers, just not knowing what the future will hold a speech like this, rosemary is a way to re-energize the communist as party, re-energize the citizens and look ahead to the future alright, our thanks to marc stewart joining us there live from beijing. >> appreciate it. >> well, lawmakers in japan are voting in a new prime minister shigeru ishiba is a former defense minister and longtime me

xi jinping made the statement that they wanted to encourage enterprises.g, big change from his previous statements where he said, look, the government should be the leader of the economy, should be the one advancing the economy. now he is changing, and that's very, very good news for entrepreneurs in china and coming back to china. so i think we've seen quite a big sea change in what's happening. now, the big problem, of course, is the u.s. sanctions and and particularly in the high-end chips. as you know, the u.s. government has recently announced more sanctions to not allow some of these chips to get into china. but you must remember china's not standing still. they are developing their own chip edge. it's going the -- technology. it's going to take the time, but they're doing more and more in this correction. is many of these companies have been hurt by the -- like alibaba has been hit by this. they're going to be the recovering going forward. liz: so -- mark just froze. can we get him back? mark, can you hear me? i had a really important question, and

loves vladimir putin inexplicably and xi jinping, who he calls a great leader. who has denigrated our allies and said to nato that as far as he is concerned, and putin can do what he wants with nato countries. he would sellout ukraine in a heartbeat as vice president harris just said in the clip you showed. he does not want ukraine to win. he wants russia to win. his pal, vladimir putin. nothing could be more dangerous or antithetical to our national security interest because anybody who thinks that if vladimir putin wins in ukraine that he will stop and not keep going into europe as he has done in georgia and crimea and now in ukraine. they are out of their minds and if anybody thinks xi jinping in china won't take from the experience of ukraine that if putin can get away with ukraine, then he can get away with taiwan and really than it is a crisis. >> i want to listen to the way the vice president framed it at the debate, because she expanded the area of concern from not just ukraine, but neighboring poland and what that could mean to american voters. let's li

here we are watching what xi jinping might do.ng and i know i want to go into taiwan, am i going to wait until trump enters office? what do you think? >> no. if you look at the map of what china did yesterday around taiwan, it's literally encircling taiwan, the trackers for all the airplanes. almost looks like a whirl wind around the island, it's really unprecedented. this is the program of provocation that xi's been engaged in through the region. there have been flyovers of japanese air space that we haven't seen before so he really is flexing his muscle. he knows we have all of these assets focused on the middle east. knows that we're stretched thin with our resupply because of ukraine. and so why not take these provocative actions, just a little shy of anything that will provoke a real response but testing the boundaries constantly to try to see how far he can get and also how much he can demoralize taiwan. because the taiwanese watch this and they wow, if the americans won't push back forcefully in the middle east, are they go

and say what she believes, what she's going to do about inflation and the border and crime and xi jinping china but i'm scared if she does that, she's scared she does that she will lose her face because i know that vice president, i know her well in their i have said before, she is aoc. the loan wing of the democratic party. >> is it aoc will tell you every day who she is and what she thinks? that the boats fall where they may. she's not telling us, don't believe what i was, don't believe what i did as vice president, believe what i might be able to do and that is the things america seems to want to do according to the pie charts she's been handed. donald trump's closing message, what you hope to hear sunday? >> if i were president trump, what i would do is continue to do what i've done and that is talk straight up to the american people about what i'm going to do about inflation. talk about how i'm going to secure the border, i talk about the fact that i, president trump become president, cops will no longer be a bigger problem than criminals. i would talk about the fact that america doe

i spent close to 100 hours alone with xi jinping in china.i was vice president he said can you define america for me. it's the god's truth i said yes in one word, he looked at me and i said possibilities. we are only nation who thinks anything is possible when we set our mind to do it. that's what all of you embodied. we have the entire nation saying thank you for representing the very best of america. [applause] and because i'm president, they wouldn't let me go to the olympics. [laughter] but i watched it all, jill my wife went to the olympics. guess what, i was supposed to be introducing at the inauguration the president of mexico who was a fine woman and i will be seeing her shortly. but i said i'm staying here in meeting you guys. she is going to represent the united states, she's in mexico. but she was able to say high to many of you and i said where were you, i was out saying hello to the olympians. as you know she led the u.s. delegation to paris. all she did when she came back home, i mean this from the bottom of my heart, was talk a

and blood is thicker than water xi jinping going on to say, no one can stop the march of history.tion. this is a very tense part of the world. we have seen military drills in recent weeks, the united states has committed to support to taiwan to help finance its efforts to remain sovereign. now, as far as what taiwan has to say about these most recent remarks by xi jinping it in many ways is sticking to lines and a narrative that we have heard before just recently, say in a statement, taiwan has never been part of the prc. the people's republic of china no. and that neither side of the strait is subordinate to each other. so max, we are seeing differences in philosophy and political territory. this time in the asia-pacific region, max, okay. >> marc stewart in beijing. thank you for that. julian assange breaking his silence after his release from prison three months ago, the wikileaks founder has been speaking at a special hearing in europe for life. year with details this morning with kasie hunt tomorrow at five eastern do you have a life insurance policy you no longer need now, y

among leaders, is china's xi jinping who mr. putin described as a dear friend. mr.id russia and china should work together to create what he called a just world order. also attending, the indian premise during narendra modi and the iranian president. them leaders in china, india, south africa and many others and putin did not say it but the pictures said it and the west may see him as a pariah but there are many world leaders who are ready and willing to do business with him, more than 20 heads of state are here this week but, this event is not just about symbolism, sending this message, it's about sending, russia, russia views brics as tool, as a potential political force to try to reshape the global order and that is what it is going to try to do this week and one thing the kremlin wan is to get the brics members to agree on creating a new cross-border payment system that will not rely on the dollar. whether that is going to happen, we will have to wait and see. for the first time in five years the indian prime minister, narendra modi, is to meet china's president

just this week, trump was praising autocrats like china's xi jinping he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. >> he's a fierce man. i got along with him very well putin, these are people that are tough people. kim jong un, north korea, nuclear weapons, all over the place. i said, do you ever do anything else? go to a game, do something. you know he loves producing nuclear weapons. that's what he likes producing. and he's got a lot of them. >> reporter but on wednesday, trump attacked his former chief of staff, john kelly, on social media, calling him, quote a total degenerate. this after kelly said that trump fits the general definition of fascist and wanted the kind of generals that adolf hitler had during world war two. more on that from cnn's brian todd new accounts raising concerns about donald trump's history of admiration for strongmen from his former chief of staff, john kelly show me an authoritarian. so he certainly falls into the into the general definition of fascist. >> and from the atlantic, citing two people who claim trump said quote, i need the kind of generals t

xi jinping is like putin a dictator. at some point say, that will be taking taiwan military and i'm willing to let my people suffer more even though, yes, this will mean a huge collapse of globalization but i can maybe shoulder that better than and willingness to suffer. so in that sense, we shouldn't count it out basically than saying it's not going to happen but i think being part of that proactive of saying, as you are also saying for xi jinping it will destruct another component like the whole idea of delivering china in 2049 at hundred years, the leading nations on all parameters. i personally don't want to live in 2049 and have the people's republic of china led by the communist china. attacking taiwan will completely does corrupt that for you. i do hope we can be sort of -- have a part of deterrence based on economics. >> well, you're essentially allude to go the fact that you have long-term and not just short-term because they are both connected and they are connected in china's policy, xi jinping's dream, who is

today that focus will shift to talks between xijinping, focus will shift to talks between xi jinping, chinese president and prime minister modi and this comes off the back of both countries announcing they will disengage odd de—escalate the conflict in the norman —— northern himalayas which had led to soldiers on both sides being killed in 2020. from a more multilateral perspective i think it would be interesting to get an update on the financial architecture that vladimir putin has been proposing as a counterbalance to western payments and trading ecosystems such as swift and this is an expanded bricks session with countries like iran i'm a bit so it would be interesting to see in the language of the joint communique language of thejoint communique if there is anything on the war in israel. we believe in the bilateral that narendra modi had with the president he expressed concerns about the escalating situation of the conflict in west asia. india and russia have strong economic links. has that been under pressure because of the war in ukraine? on the contrary, this is a relationship

time is up essence your xi jinping ready by 2027 the threat seriously. they may not code january 1 of 2027 but they want to be ready by the our challenge is, but we do to make sure he does not today but. >> will ask for more questions and open up audience question might have authorities not using enough, it sounds boring but within that plane that are underused authorities that could be used as the department were quickly. your perspective, what are your thoughts on that congress has given pretty powerful tools to the department of defense. effectively in the hands of the war veteran taking risk figuring out whether they work or not. some of them will work and some will fail pas for those companies may not be at scale but a little bit of help get scale. those are very powerful and we need to make sure they are using more recent times they are hesitant they want to go through the regular acquisition process which is a long process. those can't rule from i think they have to be the exception you get technology out there quickly. service bridges are doing p

those comments come as chinese leader xi jinping reiterates his pledge to achieve reunification withis correspondent aishah hasnie and the taiwanese ambassador to the u.s. >> while taiwan won't weigh in on which presidential candidate it prefers, its new representative to the u.s. alexander hughes says his delegation has been reaching out to both parties to ensure its partnership with the u.s. continues no matter who wins the white house. >> u.s. election, it has far more repercussions to just u.s. domestic issues. it effects the whole world. >> americans are guided over foreign conflicts and spending, president biden just handed taiwan $567 million in defense aid. while former president trump says taiwan should pay for weapons. >> we spent 25 billion u.s. dollars in purchasing u.s. weapons and unfortunately 20 billion of those are delayed in delivery. >> u admits trump is right though when it comes to china's provocation. they have increased in the last few years. president xi, he says, is emboldened but he stopped short of blaming the biden-harris administration. >> this is not abo

i think that's fair, but i also think that's part of what helps to create a bottom if xi jinping needsn power, is he going to do things that are going to obviously facilitate his dominance there that's probably right. that's where it gets more philosophical for us, a lot of self-interest involved in that when i look at valuation, when i look at that margin of safety, if you will, that we always look for in these trades, i just think the upside is multiples better than the risk to the down side that's how we think about it and play it. we are treading where others fear >> forgive me for stepping on your toes there. my last question to you, the market today, we're about the highs of the day, dow is up better than 300 now. when you look at the technicals of this market, now we have this jobs report, where can the s&p go from here >> look, this is a good trend market this is not a momentum market like we're seeing in china this is a good trend market. i think the most refreshing part of today is this backup that we're seeing in yields yields are overbought right now. this is the first time

[inaudible] but now with xi jinping goes back in the wrong direction.here is a slow escape from china. because it is more free. it's not as it is here in the united states or europe. smart free than china. and google and others in china is not possible. it's not allowed. >> is it beneficial in your view for poland to be a member of the eu? >> partly yes, partly no. yes because they've also got the other parts. on the other hand, we have these crazy decisions of the european commission. how's every economy inside eu. i will give you one example. there is a part of the registration in europe. it's all of the c countries. poland is so dangerous as for my country but for us, for germany it's voluntarily. surprised oh no we have registration of combustion engines. everything only electric. and he's happy about this? china they produce a much cheaper cars, electric cars that we do. isn't that crazy? it's not easy it causes also a lot of problems. ask the general reader

maria: or as long as xi jinping is in charge he is modeling himself. >> it's his hero he reviewed himt play with the other kids what he was doing was studying i ideology and we see the policies and domestic and foreign policies of xi jinping. maria: more important is our response, there's been no response no effort whatsoever to hold china to account to any of this. now we have worries about tuberculosis impact from a woman who exposed everyone to it where she was in louisiana. >> if she had a worse disease that could've been a serious situation we don't know how this will work out but it will not be well when you have a resistant disease among the u.s. population. maria: think it will keep talking to you, good to see you. your morning forecast, everything you need to know about the weather before you head out the door. two faces of hollywood, michael keene is berating trout voters while zachary levi tells tinseltown closet conservatives to step out into the limelight, were wanted watch you "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. ♪ meet the traveling trio. the thrill

we heard how modi and xi jinping will be meeting at the brics summit in russia.r thoughts on warming relations between the two sides given i guess the perspective that the u.s. uses india sli counter to china's growing influence. geoffrey: offer a slightly different perspective from my standpoint as somebody who has worked on the u.s.-india relationship literally for decades. i don't think we are trying to use india against any other country. we are trying to build our bilateral relationship. the issues i'm responsible for, energy and energy inputs, are an essential aspect of that bilateral relationship, a big part of our overall trade relationship and i am particularly focused on the work the biden administration has been leading with prime minister modi's government focused on supply chains. and how we diversify the supply chains we need to drive the energy transition but to do so in a way that does not increase our vulnerability to any single country china in particular. david: it does seem like india and china are trying to forge a partnership perhaps in term

face of all this just keeps sending more secretaries, cabinet members to go and kiss the ring of xi jinpingh the ccp. >> we always look like s suplicants. i can't understand why. the media is constantly telling us that russia is on the side of donald trump in the upcoming election and we know in 2020 china backed joe biden's election. the question is, have you seen any evidence or is there any indication they're on his side, and hoping he will win again? maria: definitely. >> chinese owned tiktok, it propagates narratives of the chinese regime. the videos on the election are overwhelmingly anti-trump. we also know that iran hacked the trump campaign and they delivered what they got to kamala harris' campaign. iran probably did that at the behest of china because iran and china are very close these days and china's doing one other thing and this is campaign neutral. it is using fake accounts to post on divisive issues in the united states to disrupt the campaign in general. for instance, they're talking a lot about you abortion and reproductive matters. this is intended to stir up americans

demographic clip, xi jinping probably president for life.ost self-named, you know what i'm talking about with the communist party. where does china end up? will the stimulus work? will this reinvigorate an economy that's just tried to real estate? >> the stimulus is not going to work for more than a couple of quarters. there's also this stuff about if we spend enough money, magic will happen. it doesn't work that way. you can get better quarters, you can have a better fourth quarter than a third quarter. so if you're looking at can stimulus improv the economy for a couple of quarters, they can it could. we haven't seen what the stimulus is yet, but in the longer term, it's what you said. demographic is going to kill them. they are limited from a lot of debt. they rap up a lot of debt with their stimulus program in 2009. so the trend in the short term is hard to see, because it's a policy choice. but in the medium to long-term, the trend is down. if you expect more from china macro economicty, you're not going to get it. in demands linked to

that goes back to the april 2017 encounter at mar-a-lago where trump just sort of put xi jinping on thethat sets the pattern for china relations during the four years of the trump assassination. maria: we haven't discussed the north korean troops and what their role is in these wars in terms of working with russia, gordon. there's that as well. but of course china has been complicit there as well, backing iran and this new axis of evil has been crystalized. gordon, it's great to see you. we'll keep a spotlight on all of that. thank you, sir. >> thank you, maria. maria: gordon chang. quick break and then kamala harris getting mocked online after debuting yet another accent on the campaign trail. wait until you hear this one. you're watching "mornings with maria" live on fox business. stay with us. ♪ maria: an historic election with extraordinary consequences from the opening of the polls until the votes are tallied, get your results here along with expert insight and analysis.

i will tell you this, xi jinping is not someone you should look up to.jinping is not someone you should say does a good job as donald trump did on covid. donald trump got played on a trade war. he created the largest deficit with china in american history and cost us 150,000 jobs. my clarity to take away from the message is something i want to be very clear, august of '89, into hong kong, into china, 15 times with students to try and do this. my point being on this, kamala harris and i understand. american jobs are more important than when donald trump tried to save chinese jobs. the passion and speaking on this, and i think being a teacher and being around teachers, trying to convey these messages, but especially on the school shooters, and i think for all of us here, pretty damn clear that i stood with the victims. i passed legislation to make sure this is less of an issue in trying to get at the heart of it, pretty clear my wife and i have dedicated ourselves to making gun violence a top priority, and i'll continue to do so. i'm grateful and using dav

the fentanyl coming in, i will get that, president xi jinping by the way and i said you have to impose the maximum penalty and i would talk about trade. i said we are just not going to get oil and trade. hence i can do things to talk about, i want to do it but and i had a handshake. he was going to impose maximum penalty of people's lives all of it comes mexico and maximum penalty is the death penalty imposed transfer power and so that went down the tubes but one of the first thing, they were going to get the death penalty to anybody in this country and that will solve a lot of the problem. i like saying this but i've seen in a lot of countries, ideal of all of them and i know all of them in the only ones who don't have a drug problem with the ones with the death penalty. we can set up blue ribbon committee's, and to stop these drug lords who are very smart and people from york and they just want a part of whatever it is. only ones the ones who have the death penalty and what they do to our country. on average, he or she can't male or female will kill 500 people what and the families -

sam drungenmiller was a little more cautious of any prosperity under xi jinping where do you fall inf your advice here >> well, to link the two stories, one of the reasons we've seen a decline in these prices, and also commodity prices, which is driving our good inflation numbers in the short run, is because of china you know, chinese deflation has hit here now, if you look carefully at xi jinping's package, as well as his rhetoric, the intent is to boost the shanghai composite this is, you know, it is their state lottery. you know, they want confidence in that lottery. and that's basically what the package is will it boost the chinese economy? i doubt it, because you don't get a big enough wealth effect out of the stock market to really prop up consumption in china. if it actually went into the housing market, maybe. but it's probably not going to go into the housing market unless consumers also, you know, get more confidence, as well >> yeah. >> and you've got to remember, there is something on an order of six times as much chinese household money sitting in a bank account, drawing

then a couple of days later, he went on this long rave about how wonderful xi jinping is and said he's, quote, brilliant and that he's certainly not an enemy of the united states, that our enemies are within. then he went onto basically say that gaza should be turned into a seaside resort, that it could be, quote, better than monaco, you know, echoing his son-in-law's words jared kushner, who said there's going to be some tremendous waterfront real estate opportunities. look, donald trump is quite frankly when it comes to foreign policy at the moment, he's going around telling everybody that a vote for me is a vote for peace while a vote for kamala is a vote for world war iii. frankly, he's unhinged and the things he's saying are dangerous, whether it's ukraine or asia or the middle east. if this continues, he's going to get us all killed. >> there is a sense that in some way what he's saying is resonating with american voters, isn't there? there's a simplicity to his message that under him there weren't wars, america wasn't involved in wars. i've heard donald trump before repeat that

take an authoritarian leader metal in us elections at his word he saw both vladimir putin and xi jinpinghis main piers on the world stage. >> and offered each of them a level of flattery and personal compliment you're a very special man. >> trump heaped praise on chinese leader xi jinping my feeling toward you is an incredibly warm one, as we said, there's great chemistry he used tariffs to launch a trade war with china in 2018 china is been taken advantage of the united states for many years those tariffs were paid by americans, paid by american companies and ultimately by american consumers. the trump trade war probably cost americans about 300,000 jobs. probably cost the economy somewhere north so $40 i think it's worth bearing in mind that president biden kept some of these tariffs in place. >> but i think that there are reasons why economists have concerns about continuing down that path on a greater scale. >> trump insists that if he's elected president again, he would quote, fundamentally reevaluate nato's purpose if they're not going to pay, we're not going to protect. okay i don

greensboro, north carolina, praising authoritarian leaders like russia's vladimir putin and china's xi jinping. >> he's smart. he's a smart man. he's a fierce man. i got along with him very well. putin -- these are people that are tough people. >> reporter: kelly's statements an extraordinary move from a four-star general who does not make political endorsements. but kelly says he felt compelled to speak out, after trump threatened to use the military to go after his political opponents, describing them as the enemy within. harris seizing on those words today. >> donald trump has repeatedly called his fellow americans the enemy from within, and even said that he would use the united states military to go after american citizens. and let's be clear about who he considers to be the enemy from within. anyone who refuses to bend a knee or dares to criticize him would qualify, in his mind, as the enemy within. like judges, like journalists, like nonpartisan election officials. >> reporter: harris warning that if trump returns to the white house, he won't have kelly, the former four-star general, an

president putin also met with chinese president xi jinping, who reaffirmed his country's �*friendshiponio guterres will attend the summit. that's prompted fierce criticism from kyiv. for more on the gathering, our russia editor, steve rosenberg sent this update. for the world leaders arriving in russia today, there was pomp... there was pastry... and then, putin. for russia's president, there was a golden opportunity to show that attempts by the west to isolate him have failed. china's xijinping is one of more than 20 heads of state attending the brics summit. bell tolls. it may not be the greatest show on earth, but to mark the summit, they have lit up the ancient kazan kremlin. the brics club of emerging economies represents nearly half the world's population, and more than a quarter of the global economy. russia hopes that brics will reshape the global order, and relieve the pressure of western sanctions. so russia's main interest is in breaking the dominance of the us dollar, the power of the us treasury. they want the brics countries to create an alternative trade mechanism, and

china is not xi jinping. russians are not putin. sen. warner: i think it's american policymakers are needing to make that point because every time. it's not what the chinese people. making that point the chinese comet's party uses to great advantage on we chat in the chinese -- you see this is all racist anti-chinese. >> when putin is gone and there will be a day when he is gone. and the reason i brought up the point about the russian people, what is the u.s. long-term strategic plan. i don't want to say for russia, that implies power or ownership but with russia. what's russia's ultimate role in a post putin russia's role do they come back into the fold? to your earlier point they can't stay mad forever. >> after the wall fell, after the prime minister -- as a business guy in the 90's, i went to russia a lot. looks like us, sees like -- seems like us. i made investments. i thought russia had turned the corner. maybe it was a little bit crooked, they want rule of law. the same thing that brought them into the world trade organization. i
