⚠️Why Won’t Anyone Explain This?

Added: 2026-05-18

[00:00:02]You know what is wild to me? Not even the fact that China's acting like a superpower.

[00:00:09]Of course they are.

[00:00:12]That's what rising empires do.

[00:00:14]What's wild to me is watching people pretend this is somehow America first.

[00:00:21]Because I got to be honest with you, this does not match the sales pitch.

[00:00:27]Remember the sales pitch? I'm going to remind you real quick.

[00:00:34]>> I have to do is economically take on China because China has been ripping us off for many years. Somebody had to do it. I am the chosen one. So, I'm taking on China.

[00:00:45]>> Right now, China is paying a 104% tariff. Think of it. 104%.

[00:00:52]They've ripped us off left and right.

[00:00:55]But now it's our turn to do the ripping.

[00:00:59]Centuries >> now things have changed. Listen >> for China. The job you've done. You're a great leader. We're going to have a fantastic future together. The great delegation. They're here today to pay respects to you and to China. And they look forward to trade and doing business.

[00:01:20]That doesn't match the sales pitch at all, does it? We were told America first. We were told strong borders, strong manufacturing, strong posture, not a dependence on China, no globalist [ __ ] no foreign leverage over the United States. And now suddenly I'm I'm watching people defend Chinese ownership of farmland.

[00:01:46]half a million Chinese students, AI chip deals, Chinese factories on American soul, and a and a president of the United States standing beside Xiinping refusing to answer whether America would defend Taiwan.

[00:02:07]>> Oh, sir, >> it's great.

[00:02:10]>> Did you talk about Taiwan?

[00:02:12]>> Great place.

[00:02:12]>> Incredible. China is beautiful. Could you talk about Taiwan, Mr. President?

[00:02:29]>> Thank you.

[00:02:29]>> Thank you.

[00:02:30]>> Thank you very much, >> Mr. President. Did you talk about Taiwan?

[00:02:34]>> What the hell happened?

[00:02:37]And before people start screeching in the comments, listen carefully.

[00:02:41]This is not me becoming some Democrat.

[00:02:44]I've never voted for Biden or a Democrat for that matter. I supported Trump, defended Trump for years for years, lost tons of business, business opportunities, TV shows that I even developed while every corporate media clown on earth screamed orange Hitler every 5 seconds. But I'm also not in a cult.

[00:03:09]And some of this junk looks bad. Looks really bad. and and some of you know it and you just don't want to say it out loud because deep down, you know, it doesn't feel like the movement we signed up for. Now, let's walk through this slowly because the media is framing this summit like some massive strategic victory. But when you start peeling back the layers, what exactly did America gain here?

[00:03:33]Seriously, what did we actually gain?

[00:03:37]Because from where I'm sitting, China looked strong as hell during the entire thing.

[00:03:44]Xiinping didn't look nervous. He didn't look pressured. He didn't look intimidated.

[00:03:49]Trump looked differential in that matter psychologically.

[00:03:54]The entire world watches body language.

[00:03:57]An >> hourslong closed door meeting and Taiwan is emerging as a major flash point.

[00:04:03]According to a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, she warned of potential conflict with the US over Taiwan, saying it is the most important issue. Before that meeting, both leaders spoke of cooperation. She ch said the US and China should be partners, not rivals.

[00:04:23]The ent entire world is watching that tone. The entire world watches the posture.

[00:04:28]That's geopolitics. and she acted like he was dealing with an equal or maybe even somebody beneath him. That should concern you, especially when China openly warned there would be conflict if American affairs over Taiwan.

[00:04:44]And what happened? Trump was repeatedly asked whether US would defend Taiwan. He wouldn't answer.

[00:04:52]And so after the fact after he left Chiing sign and maybe Chihinping didn't understand English, but I guarantee he understood the word Taiwan when he was pressed and and Trump didn't say anything.

[00:05:05]>> President is a dictator. But I think that President Biden was an incompetent president. You think >> Do you think she was a dict is a dictator? Of course he is. But no, I think Biden's an incompetent president.

[00:05:17]Okay. No, we discussed arm sales uh too.

[00:05:21]>> Yeah. What's his request? We >> discussed the Taiwan, you know, the whole thing with the arm sales was in great detail actually and I'll be making decisions.

[00:05:32]>> But you know, I think the last thing we need right now is a war that's 9,5.

[00:05:38]>> What he's saying right there is that we will not defend Taiwan.

[00:05:42]>> I think that's the last thing we need.

[00:05:44]We're doing very well. with the US defend Taiwan if it came to it.

[00:05:47]>> I don't want to say I'm not going to say that. Uh there's only one person that knows that. You know who it is? Me. I'm the only person. That question was asked to me today by President Xi. I said I don't talk about that.

[00:06:02]>> I want you to remember that. We'll come back to it. Let me make this crystal clear.

[00:06:08]Taiwan is not just some random island.

[00:06:09]Taiwan is one of the most strategically important places on Earth.

[00:06:13]semiconductors, microchips, advanced manufacturing, global supply chains.

[00:06:19]>> As a military gatekeeper, it sits between Japan and the Philippines, both US allies. Lose Taiwan and China dominates the Pacific. And here's the real reason. If the US doesn't defend Taiwan, every ally starts to doubt America, Japan, South Korea, even NATO.

[00:06:37]So, this isn't just about Taiwan. It's about tech.

[00:06:42]every military man down to a private knows you never give up territory.

[00:06:50]Never.

[00:06:53]Taiwan falling into Chinese control would completely reshape the balance of power worldwide.

[00:06:59]And whether you like that or not, America historically maintain strategic ambiguity backed by strength. Meaning we won't say exactly what we'll do, but do not test us. And that's deterrence.

[00:07:11]That's power projection. That's how empires prevent war. But what the world just watched looked like uncertainty to me. It looked weak.

[00:07:22]And here's the part that's really uncomfortable.

[00:07:25]Joe Biden, a literal walking corpse half the time, was more direct when asked if America would defend Taiwan. Listen.

[00:07:36]involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons. Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?

[00:07:46]>> Yes, >> you are.

[00:07:49]>> That's the commitment we made.

[00:07:53]That's the commitment we made. We are not Look, here's the situation. We agree with the one China policy. We signed on to it and all the attendant agreements made from there. But the idea that that it can be taken by force, just taken by force is just not is just not appropriate. Dislocate the entire region and be another action similar to what happened in in uh in Ukraine.

[00:08:21]>> He barely could get it out, but he said it a walking corpse half the time.

[00:08:29]And then he I mean he wasn't just asked, he's asked multiple times. Would US forces defend the island?

[00:08:34]>> Yes, if in fact there was an unprecedented attack.

[00:08:37]>> To be clear, sir, US forces, US men and women would defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion.

[00:08:45]>> Yes.

[00:08:47]Wow. That that should bother you.

[00:08:52]That should bother you. Not because Biden was some amazing leader, because he wasn't, but because weakness invites predators. And China as well as the rest of the world smells weakness.

[00:09:06]Now, let's get to the part that should really piss people off. Chinese farmland ownership.

[00:09:14]Explain this one to me. Seriously, explain to me how letting Chinese nationals buy up American farmland, including land near military instations, is somehow America first.

[00:09:29]I would assume I'm in Beijing. If I wanted to buy property near one of their military installations, >> I don't think President wouldn't let you. I don't. Look, it's not that I love it. You want to see farm prices drop. If you want to see farmers lose a lot of money, just take that out of the market.

[00:09:47]But they've had a lot of land for a long time. Obama did nothing about it. And and and don't give me the well Obama allowed it too excuse. That is not an argument. That is surrender.

[00:10:03]That is basically saying, "Yeah, Democrats did weak globalist [ __ ] so why should we stop it now?" Say what?

[00:10:10]That is the opposite of the movement.

[00:10:14]It's and then and then to say American farmers will go under. I thought the whole goal of voting for MAGA was make America great again, not continue with Chinese dependence.

[00:10:28]This is completely opposite of the movement.

[00:10:32]The entire point was supposed to be fixing the things the establishment screwed up, not continuing then because hey, it's pretty inconvenient to stop.

[00:10:44]Then we move on to the student issue.

[00:10:47]Half a million Chinese students. They bought a lot of it during the Obama administration. He did nothing about it.

[00:10:56]As far as the students, it's 500,000 students. they come good students. Uh I could tell them I don't want any students is a very insulting thing to say to a country. If you want to see a university system die, take a half a million people out of it.

[00:11:18]And you know the ones that won't be hurt.

[00:11:20]>> Why did we get to that point?

[00:11:23]Well, we got to that point because of deep state globalism.

[00:11:27]But let's continue it, right? And the thing is is people will say, "Well, man, not every Chinese student is operative for the CCP."

[00:11:36]That's stupid.

[00:11:39]Stupid.

[00:11:40]>> Are the top schools? The top schools will do fine, but your lower schools, your lower uh the ones that don't do quite as well, those do, they'll be dying all over the place. Um, I frankly think that it's good that people come from other countries and they learn our culture and many of them want to stay here. I think it's good. Um, not everybody agrees with me and it doesn't sound like a very >> He says it doesn't sound like a very conservative thing here, right?

[00:12:12]He says but he's a believes in logic.

[00:12:17]That's what he says.

[00:12:20]So, China absolutely engages in in industrial espionage, technology theft, influence operations, intelligence gathering. That is not a conspiracy theory territory. That is an established reality. Our own intelligence agencies have warned about this repeatedly. We've caught Chinese spies on base. I've done numerous videos about that. Getting into base, flying drones over base. There was one special operations Chinese guy came and trained with uh Ronin Tactic. I did a video about this Ronin Tactics as well as uh a Marine uh owned uh tactical training company, a night they were the Marines were teaching night vision engagement. He trained with them as well as other things and just even uh going into the military into the intelligence fields.

[00:13:11]And now his argument is well universities need the money. Oh, really?

[00:13:16]So, America first now means keeping the universities financially dependent on foreign enrollment.

[00:13:22]That's the argument. Now, we've gone from bring manufacturing home to well, the colleges might collapse without them.

[00:13:33]This sounds like globalist institutional dependency. Not nationalism, not sovereignty, but dependency. He's also talking about allowing Chinese to bring manufacturing facilities here in the US to create jobs. So now, not only are we going to bring students in, continue them buying up farmland, we're going to allow them to start manufacturing here in the US. So, how could that go wrong, right?

[00:14:03]And then the AI chip situation.

[00:14:06]This one is insane to me because for years we've been told China is our greatest technological competitor. AI race, cyber warfare, military automation, drone warfare, surveillance systems, nextgen warfare.

[00:14:22]Every expert on earth says whoever dominates AI dominates the next century.

[00:14:28]And now suddenly we're approving major Chinese access to advanced AI chips, Nvidia chips, if you didn't hear. What are we doing? Seriously, what are we doing?

[00:14:41]And meanwhile, China itself still heavily restricts American influence inside their own system.

[00:14:48]This the crazy part. China plays hard ball and America keeps acting like everybody else plays by free market gentleman rules. They don't.

[00:15:00]China is gonna act in Chinese interest every single freaking time.

[00:15:05]Every time.

[00:15:07]And maybe that's the biggest takeaway from all this.

[00:15:12]China behaves like a civilization that believes it's destined to dominate the century.

[00:15:18]America is behaving like a country arguing with itself while selling pieces of itself off for short-term comfort.

[00:15:26]That is the uncomfortable truth.

[00:15:30]And look, I understand negotiation.

[00:15:32]I understand diplomacy.

[00:15:35]And I even understand strategic compromise.

[00:15:38]But compromise only works when both sides are conceding to something meaningful.

[00:15:45]Right now, it looks like China got legitimacy, economic access, strategic leverage, public optics, and psychological momentum.

[00:15:56]And America got headlines. The other thing is is that I think a lot of this had to do with to be honest with you that Trump wanted to go there and get Chi to help him with the Iran debacle.

[00:16:10]The straight of hormuz is crushing the Trump administration in the polls.

[00:16:16]Americans are mad. They're tired of paying5 to $8 a gallon of gas for the Iran war that's supposedly been around for 47 years.

[00:16:29]and he didn't do anything about during his first term, but somehow now we got to do something about it. Even though we just bombed them and per the White House press release back in June, we completely obliterated their nuclear site. So they we're incapable of making a nuclear weapon. So what the freak are we doing now?

[00:16:49]And if you watch any of that, Trump's tone toward Chi because he had to submissive. Trump will absolutely torture American politicians, attack governors, attack Thomas Massie, attack allies, attack conservatives, attack reporters, attack attack his own people that stood beside him. But when standing beside Chi, he was very careful. He was soft and extremely measured. Why? Because that contrast matters and people notice it. I notice it immediately. I think a lot of Americans are sitting there right now feeling something they don't quite know how to articulate. It's disappointment because when Joe Biden when asked directly even weekend at the Biden's dead man walking the zombie Biden, he was able to say, "Yep, we'll defend him." Right?

[00:17:46]This is disappointment. And not because all of a sudden everybody became a liberal, but because this doesn't feel like the movement they bought into.

[00:17:56]That's why you're seeing backlash from normal conservatives, veterans, nationalists, populists. People are confused because the messaging suddenly shifted from America doesn't need China to well, we actually we we do need Chinese students. We need Chinese manufacturing, Chinese investments, Chinese purchases, Chinese cooperation.

[00:18:15]It's funny the uh the new phones that he came out with that was a debacle saying they were going to be Americanmade. It came out with an email to everyone who put the $100 dep dollar deposit down. He got a ton of hate because they said they weren't going to get phones. But now he sent out a release that they will start shipping the phones but they will be Chinese-made.

[00:18:34]So the America first MAGA phones will now be Chinese. So I guess Chinese Chinese products are good.

[00:18:43]It's not the same message at all.

[00:18:47]Here's the danger. When your political movement becomes purely tribal, people don't think critically. They defend everything automatically, even contradictions, especially contradictions. And that's dangerous. No matter which side does it, the left does it constantly. Now, the right is doing the same exact thing that they ridiculed the left for. And that's how movements rot. not from the outside attacks, but from people refusing to question obvious contradictions because they're emotionally invested into their cult.

[00:19:19]Now, again, before some of these MAGA, they can't they can't take facts, they can't take reality, and they're foaming at the mouth. I ain't saying China won, not yet. But I'm saying this summit projected something psychologically to the world that America no longer looks completely dominant, and China knows it. And that's the real story here. Not the headlines, not the press releases, not the staged handshakes, but power, perception, momentum. And right now, China looks patient, confident, strategic. America looks divided, confused, reactive, don't know what the hell we we we say with that we're putting a blockade on the blockade of the straight. The strait's open. Oh no, then a ship got shot up.

[00:20:00]Should this concern every single person watching this video, regardless of your political party, because empires don't collapse overnight. They slowly normalize contradictions.

[00:20:08]They slowly trade strength for convenience and they slowly explain away weakness until one day the world realizes the balance has shifted and then it's too late to reverse it and that's why people are upset because this doesn't match the sales pitch at all and deep down everybody knows it. Everybody knows it.

[00:20:30]And unfortunately, I just think it's too too divided for people to come together and get our country back. I just think it is. You have too many factions, too many upset people. So, like I always say, become hard to kill. And because of that, doing a a deal this week for you guys. All this week, I believe in being hard to kill starts with fitness supplements. what you eat and all that sort of stuff. What we're going to do is if you buy two, you can uh buy any either two field charge, two rearm the creatine amino acids or buy two rearms, two field charge. So, whatever supplements you want um or two triggers, you'll get a bag of trigger for free. So, buy two supplements, you'll get a bag of trigger for free.

[00:21:18]You don't need to put in a code or anything. You put two supplements in your cart, you'll get a bag of trigger for free. That way hopefully you can get start on your fitness journey anyway guys or continue it. But uh I I think now is the time uh it's it's time to get prepared on all facets. Get your training in. Physical fitness is not something you can fix overnight. So uh obviously prepare for that. Anyway guys uh everybody wants to you know say to do this or that but a lot of people just are not ready for that. Uh you got to get prepared down to the baseline foundation of physical fitness first.

[00:21:51]Anyway guys I appreciate you hanging on me. Make sure you stay frosty, stay strapped, stay dangerous. This is Black Scout Survival and I will see you in the next one.
