Brian, we will hand it over to you Brian now, to a Fox news. Alert secretary of State MIKE Pompeo, says the: u DOT. S has had enough when it comes to China and their actions, its been a long challenge of the Chinese Communist Party. Stealing president Trump has said enough. We are not going to allow this to continue to happen. We are setting out clear expectations for how the Chinese Communist Party is going to behave when they dont. We will take actions to protect the american people. Brian, the State Department ordering the chinese Consulate in Houston to close local witnesses, cited diplomats burning documents. Now China is threatening to retaliate against the? U dot s im sure they will here to discuss it. State department, spokesman, Morgan, Ortagus, always great to see you thanks Brian Good Morning, Brian big Move in Houston and the burning of documents is that noteworthy? Well, they have to close the consulate by 400 p, DOT M on Friday, as ordered by the State Department and Brian. I think its important for your viewers to

know the reason why we took this action of closing the Houston consulate we uncovered through our partnership with the FBI and Doj. That Houston was the pertinent of research theft in the United States by the Chinese Communest Party. Things going on Chinese call the thousand talents program. This program was specifically designed to recruit chinese citizens to come to the United States, to steal from our states to steal from our research institutions like Md Henderson steal from technology companies in the Houston area. We have uncovered, of course, a spy ring. We have uncovered mask at least a billion dollars of research theft, in just one case alone that the FBI has uncovered, and so we are putting a stop to the stealing of american intellectual property, the stealing of american research, which of course, ultimately takes american jobs Brian. When we look at consulates in Boston and San Francisco, why not pick them? Why did you pick Houston?

Was it the most egregious in Houston, and will you be prepared to show that to members of Congress? Absolutely we work closely with members of Congress and appreciate their support on holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable. I think there is actually a lot of bipartisan support when it comes to you, which consulate we determine to do. We work closely with the FBI to see what nefarious activities stealing goes on. We made the decision because Houston was the epicenter of research theft for the Chinese Communist Party in the United States. It was untenable to keep that consulate open Brian. As we look around the world, we saw the. U DOT, K, push back on Huawei and 5g. We saw Australia, changing their defense strategies and almost defend now with the Marines and others against a possible China attack, because things have gotten so tense between them. Those are two big allies with us. We are also seeing the China IRAN Alliance, upset Saudi Arabia.

This is a window, it seems from the outside for the: U Dot S, to consolidate allies and those on the fence against China. What are we doing? Brian yeah, I couldnt have said it better myself. We were just. I was with Secretary Pompeo the last few days in London in Copenhagen with Prime Minister, Boris Johnson and Foreign minister. We were talking about exactly this threat and how we rally the world together against the new chinese tyranny. New aggression under chairman XI, the head of the Chinese Communist Party. I think its important to note Brian, that over the past forty to fifty years, we have tried, through republican and democratic administrations, we tried opening up to China. We tried appeasement, we have tried doing more business and getting both countries to come together, bringing them in to international organizations and what you will see today at around 430 eastern time, secretary, MIKE Pompeo will be at the Nixon Library to give. What I think is one of the most historic speeches, as it relates

to foreign policy that anyone will give in this administration. He is going to lay out exactly what the Chinese Communist Party has done, how our opening to China has failed and how we are now embarking on a new policy which is distrust and verify, as it relates to the Chinese Communist Party, Brian. That will be expanded to the Nixon Library today, that is great. Spot Nixon opened the door to China. We had great hopes, but we have.
