I'm for the hit list in the house today.
Tom Ruskin former NYPD.
Seen -- know your president of this and -- president -- on using hi how -- lower east title president -- of the bill Daley former FBI officer and senior VP of control risks.
I'm an interesting case in Beijing playing out over the last couple of days and still playing -- now.
This -- Chinese dissident you probably heard of him -- long -- Sought refuge -- a year and a half on the house arrest it in the US embassy.
Now Green taken to a medical facility in the Chinese and apparently promised him that he will -- live freely and safely.
Bill this was is shaping up to be a big diplomatic embarrassment.
For the US would Hillary Clinton -- say Hillary Clinton that today -- they headed off that.
Diplomatic sort of sent off.
-- I -- your comments and I think it was you know.
Cleverly and rightly worded -- to hope hopefully alleviate this you know getting too much larger issue the fact that he's out of the embassy in medical care certainly.
Alleviate some of that and immediate kind of calling up of major issues I think your -- let's put -- effective.
Of what she had to deal with the fact is embassies have always been kind of the way.
Safe harbor for people who is seeking -- of a political.
Refuge in the if you assume they know are going to be.
-- -- -- -- prosecuted and in some way.
And if the US feels as though that's that's appropriate.
And and the courses is just they will take that person in and this happens also around the world with other embassies -- becomes the US embassy becomes the basically another footprint of the US and this of the local authorities came to -- -- so I think what we did it sounds at least on the surface the right thing to have done and now.
Have some I disagree with the Chinese authorities that he will allowed to be allowed to go back to house arrest -- He's -- what -- -- -- and allowed to live safely and speak freely would view if you what you Englewood NJ and I've told would you trust -- but I think that they had leverage over him and I think the Chinese Government had a lot of leverage.
His wife and -- we will left behind.
To the perils of the Chinese Government -- that would be a very big.
Toy you'll play for the Chinese Government to be playing with -- relatives of those guys freedom and so had he been so what exiled to the United States and had the government.
You know.
Transport him back the United States.
His family would be right millions of the tough decisions all round ball the for this guy and that no -- hearing him say he doesn't quite trust the Chinese.
And actually he would like to come to the United States having apparently said before they -- and.
Yeah I always like I ought to help -- gotten -- -- the US embassies and they got some modicum of agreement that this all agencies honestly no kidding.
Thank god I mean I -- serve it is going to do what ever I really do but.
You know we've got a -- to deal with.
We have international oil supplies to -- -- we have currency manipulation to deal -- we have trade -- to be -- that we've got you know the north Koreans to deal with.
We have big -- we need jobs are we need China's help on every -- and we're happy to have him.
How much are they holding US Treasury's announcement that should dictate our foreign -- -- when you start engaging within a nation on that level is that something like this certainly could cause it doesn't upset the apple cart -- -- -- -- -- Co dependent on these are very seriously this might be the greatest co dependency relationship that has ever existed in world history -- I mean you greet each prove found they.
How to have us -- and make no mistake about that sometimes people say oh they're good without -- and they're not -- without us because if they don't have the United States driving their export right they're going to have massive social unrest that they always have throughout the entire history of that -- of that country.
And that.
I think that the Chinese leadership is petrified -- is precisely that.
Think you -- export machine going so they need us just as much as we need them.
All right one -- very interest -- things that very few people know is the new C police department ensure all the police departments around the country.
And out of our -- -- -- had nothing to do with them.
But if someone comes up to -- -- police officer and wants to clean.
Asylum into the United States that police officer has to protect him with his life.
And get him back to a precinct or safe harbor until the State Department can get involved.
Without knowing what losers who knows yet we'll look at it let's walk up to a new York city police.
And say I want to claim asylum I'm being persecuted by my government.
And I request -- We're gonna if -- an American significant it'll be worth anything.
And then I would send them right from -- Yeah.
Hopefully whoever is open that people would want about what you've been going -- from the intelligence side -- -- -- but it.
