[00:00:00] Uh, so we have a written question [00:00:03] >> from [00:00:03] >> uh let's do No, let's do this one. [00:00:06] Sorry, crap. I'm in the wrong window [00:00:08] here. Let's do the one from Sam here. [00:00:10] Uh, he says, "Have you guys seen I've [00:00:12] heard about the uh the goo the Alyssa [00:00:15] Goo or Eileen Goo? Have you seen about [00:00:18] Alysia Lou? I I'm going to mix up these [00:00:20] names." And [00:00:20] >> Eileen Goo is the freestyle skier from [00:00:23] America that competes for the CCP. [00:00:26] And then Alyssia Louu is just won the [00:00:29] gold medal yesterday and it was [00:00:32] wonderful because she was she listen [00:00:35] I've been told that Alyssa Lou is a [00:00:37] woke. She's a far-lefty but she has not [00:00:40] disrespected the country at all. Her dad [00:00:42] fled the CCP China. He parttook in the [00:00:45] Tianaan Square massacre protest. It was [00:00:48] studentled protest 1989. He flees to [00:00:51] America. They have been surveiled by the [00:00:53] CCP. The FBI has told him they've been [00:00:55] under surveillance trying to intimidate [00:00:57] his daughter Alyssa Louu from be from [00:00:59] skating for the US team. It's pretty [00:01:01] pretty compelling stuff. 651. [00:01:04] >> The Chinese government has never has [00:01:07] never let me go. Uh they sent spies to [00:01:11] the US. [00:01:13] Uh the spy actually became friends with [00:01:16] me. Uh I I be I befriended him. I helped [00:01:21] him a lot. [00:01:24] you know, in settling down in the San [00:01:26] Francisco Bay area and uh I treated him [00:01:31] as my friend and many years later he [00:01:35] confessed that he was actually uh a spy [00:01:38] for the Chinese government on me. [00:01:42] >> It it really Lou versus Guit really [00:01:45] unpacks some interesting trends here [00:01:47] because both we've had they're both from [00:01:50] the Bay Area. We've had Chinese [00:01:51] Americans in America for a long time, [00:01:54] but I think we've been used to them [00:01:56] being either just they've been here ages [00:01:59] or they are anti-communist refugees. [00:02:02] They came here after it fell to Mao, [00:02:04] after the cultural revolution, after [00:02:06] Tanaman as he did. He came here after [00:02:07] the Tanaman Square massacre. [00:02:10] >> And now we have a much greater number of [00:02:14] Chinese in America who are just here to [00:02:17] work jobs. They're fully they're Chinese [00:02:20] patriots. They're on board with the [00:02:21] Chinese system or at least not critics [00:02:23] of it. And they're really not shy about [00:02:26] spreading using these as means of [00:02:28] getting influence. We've seen dark stuff [00:02:30] in Canada. Can never dump on Canada [00:02:32] enough. We've had actual candidates for [00:02:35] office who are just blatantly China [00:02:37] loyalists. There was a candidate for the [00:02:39] Liberal Party in Canada who was saying [00:02:42] at a rally in Chinese, speaking in [00:02:44] Chinese to other Chinese residents, hey, [00:02:46] it'd be great if someone basically went [00:02:49] and uh took out my opponent who's an [00:02:51] anti-CCCP [00:02:52] Chinese dissident. And he was just he [00:02:54] was saying this in the Chinese language. [00:02:56] We've had a lot of cases of [00:02:57] infiltration. We have a lot of cases of [00:02:59] espionage. And one of the things China [00:03:01] does is they tend to view all Chinese [00:03:04] abroad as essentially [00:03:07] they either are under their control or [00:03:10] they should be they should be subject to [00:03:12] Beijing's will. So they'll send spies to [00:03:14] spy on these people, to monitor these [00:03:16] people, to harass these people, and in [00:03:19] theory even to kidnap, do do crimes to [00:03:21] these people. And we're going to see [00:03:23] more and more of this. I I think it's a [00:03:24] tale of two two uh well listen you've [00:03:28] got the the Eileen Goo who went over [00:03:32] back to the CCP. She changed countries [00:03:34] that she was competing for in 2019 in [00:03:37] preparation for 2022 Olympics. So now [00:03:39] she's back. She fell I think she won [00:03:42] silver. She didn't get gold. And then [00:03:44] you've got Alyssa uh [00:03:47] Alyssa Lou. [00:03:48] >> It's Eileen G versus Alyssa Lou. And [00:03:50] here she is celebrating being the first [00:03:52] US woman. She raised in born and raised [00:03:55] in America. She's a completely American. [00:03:57] Uh she is the first US woman to win gold [00:04:00] in figure skating in 24 years. It's just [00:04:02] an amazing story. And I listen, I don't [00:04:05] care what her politics are. She's done [00:04:06] it the right way. And this is my general [00:04:08] theme for all Olympic athletes. I don't [00:04:10] care if you're a Democrat. I don't care [00:04:12] if you're a Republican. [00:04:14] >> But do not disgrace our country. And [00:04:17] Alyssa Lou has not disgraced our [00:04:19] country. She's shut her mouth. She's [00:04:20] just said, "I'm so happy to be here. I [00:04:23] don't care if I get a medal. I just want [00:04:24] people to see my art on the ice." That's [00:04:26] what she's done. She stood at that [00:04:28] podium. She jumped for joy. And it's [00:04:31] just a beautiful thing. And I want to [00:04:32] say as a note, so Eileen Agu has made [00:04:37] what $20 million, huge amounts, $20 [00:04:39] million a year [00:04:40] >> because she was willing to renaturalize [00:04:43] herself to China, not say anything bad [00:04:45] about the government, represent China, [00:04:47] was rewarded handsomely. They wanted Lou [00:04:50] to do the same thing. She was [00:04:51] approached. They wanted her to skate for [00:04:53] them in 22 and in this Olympics. And she [00:04:56] refused to do so. Her father said is [00:04:59] adamantly opposed. She turned down, it [00:05:03] sounds like tens of millions of dollars [00:05:05] to proudly represent America. And you [00:05:09] know, she's a lib, but I would hope that [00:05:10] our country is prepared to reward her [00:05:12] for that because she should be seen as a [00:05:14] patriotic hero for that. These days, the [00:05:16] online world moves fast. That's why Tik [00:05:18] Tok approaches teen safety with families [00:05:20] in mind from the start. On Tik Tok, [00:05:22] teens get over 50 built-in protections [00:05:25] right when they join. Accounts for teens [00:05:27] start private by default. For those [00:05:29] under 16, direct messages are turned [00:05:31] off, and only friends can comment on [00:05:33] their videos. That proactive approach [00:05:35] means parents don't have to dig through [00:05:37] menus or set up everything themselves. [00:05:40] Safety is built in from day one, so [00:05:42] peace of mind is already part of the [00:05:44] experience. When safety comes first, [00:05:46] discovery and creativity can follow.

[00:05:58] She is h and you know this een goo it's [00:06:01] kind of a tale of uh of elitism she's a [00:06:04] Stanford grad her parents were very [00:06:08] successful Silicon Valley types venture [00:06:11] capitalists and then she took the money [00:06:13] she went back and took $20 million a [00:06:14] year and she is annoyingly arrogant play [00:06:17] 633 [00:06:20] >> do you see um these as two silvers [00:06:22] gained or two goals lost [00:06:26] >> I'm the most decorated free skier, [00:06:28] female free skier in history. I think [00:06:30] that's a answer in and of itself. Um, [00:06:34] how do I say this? Winning a medal at [00:06:37] the Olympics is a life-changing [00:06:39] experience for every athlete. Doing it [00:06:42] five times is exponentially harder [00:06:44] because every medal is equally hard for [00:06:46] me, but everybody else's expectations [00:06:49] rise, right? And so the two medals lost [00:06:53] situation, to be quite frank with you, I [00:06:55] think is kind of a ridiculous [00:06:57] perspective to take. Um, I'm showcasing [00:06:59] my best skiing. I'm doing things that [00:07:02] quite literally have never been done [00:07:04] before. And so I think that is more than [00:07:06] good enough. But thank you. [00:07:09] >> And if that wasn't annoying enough, [00:07:11] here's her posing with Kla Harris. 655. [00:07:15] This is a very, very fascinating image. [00:07:18] 655. There it is. She's right there. And [00:07:21] just because she's so annoying, we're [00:07:23] going to play her falling 649. [00:07:28] >> Two 900s to start things off. And just [00:07:32] look at that. Oh, [00:07:35] >> and Eileen catches a ski on the deck. [00:07:38] >> Oh man, that is high pressure. I mean, [00:07:42] >> gets up, going to get that ski, but in a [00:07:45] two-run qualifying format, she only has [00:07:48] one run now to lock in her spot for [00:07:50] finals. What went wrong on that hit? I [00:07:53] mean, this is an easier trick than those [00:07:55] first two 900s. A perfect grab. Just [00:07:58] kind of catches the lip a little bit. [00:08:01] And the lip is just the top edge of that [00:08:03] half pipe. And so close. This is Oh man. [00:08:09] Two. Listen, I couldn't do any of that. [00:08:11] >> That clip gives me joy. [00:08:13] >> Yeah, I couldn't do any of that. So, [00:08:16] I'll just say that at the at the outset [00:08:17] here, but sorry, not sorry. Not sorry. I [00:08:20] don't I do not have to cheer for Chinese [00:08:22] nationals. [00:08:25] Too bad it didn't work out. Uh oh, we do [00:08:27] have one more. 65. Okay, so this is JD [00:08:29] Vance talking about Een. We have a lot. [00:08:31] Good job. Good on the prep. 6 646. [00:08:35] >> Eileen Goo uh is skiing for China. You [00:08:37] were at the Olympics at the Open. Um, [00:08:40] some pe and Caner has said she's a [00:08:42] traitor. Some people have said that this [00:08:43] is a treasonous um to to ski for China [00:08:47] and to overlook Jimmy Lie and the [00:08:48] Weaguers and pretend like those things [00:08:50] aren't problems is a huge problem. What [00:08:52] do you think her status should be? [00:08:53] Should it be changed? [00:08:55] >> Well, look, I I'm not going to I I have [00:08:56] no idea what she what her status should [00:08:59] be. I think that's ultimately up to the [00:09:00] Olympics committee. I won't pretend to [00:09:02] wait into that. I certainly think that [00:09:04] somebody who grew up in the United [00:09:05] States of America, who benefited from [00:09:07] our education system, from the freedoms [00:09:09] and liberties that make this country a [00:09:11] great place, I would hope that they want [00:09:12] to compete with the United States of [00:09:14] America. So, I'm going to root for [00:09:15] American athletes. And I think part of [00:09:17] that is people who identify themselves [00:09:19] as Americans. That's who I'm rooting for [00:09:21] this Olympics. [00:09:23] >> And Eileen Goo responded to JD Vance and [00:09:26] she said, uh, this is 636. So many [00:09:28] athletes compete for a different [00:09:30] country. People only have a problem with [00:09:32] me doing it because they kind of lump [00:09:34] China into this monolithic entity and [00:09:36] they just hate China. So, it's not [00:09:38] really about what they think it's about. [00:09:40] No, it's about exactly what we think [00:09:42] it's about. You took the money, you went [00:09:44] to you're a traitor. [00:09:45] >> You are you are judged slightly [00:09:46] differently for joining with an [00:09:49] authoritarian despotic enemy of America [00:09:52] >> compared to just if Yeah. If you if your [00:09:55] granddad is from Italy and you could [00:09:57] only make that team instead of the [00:09:58] American team, I don't like it. I I [00:10:00] still genuinely do dislike it and I [00:10:02] don't think we should allow it nearly as [00:10:03] much as we do. But yeah, we're gonna [00:10:05] treat it more harshly. [00:10:06] >> Yep. [00:10:06] >> Sorry. [00:10:07] >> Sorry, Eileen Goo. You are awful. We do [00:10:10] not like you. [00:10:11] >> Boo to goooo. [00:10:12] >> Boo to goooo. But Alyssa Lou, [00:10:15] >> woo to woo to boo. Woo to Louoo. Sweet [00:10:19] Lou. We love sweet Lou.
