President Xi has ordered the Chinese and his military to be ready by 2027 to invade Taiwan. We are facing a conflict with China. As commander in chief, would you send in U.S. military forces to defend Taiwan? China is by far our top national security threat. I think a lot of people realize that. I don't think as many realize it as possible. I think the President Biden, when he says he wants China to do well, I don't think he's seeing the threat for what it is. (11:10–11:15)
