Can You Say Corrupt USA Government
Treasonous.
agree with both remarks
Bribes n kickbacks is anyone really surprised???
Aideing n abetting invasions of the USA is even more blatant since the beginning of the obiden administration antics since 2020 elections!! J 6 ppls wrongfully incarcerated by lieing unselect committee!! They’re free but j 6 ppls pows
What is WIPO?
Why in the hell are we giving ANY money to ANY business of foreigners, especially Chinese or CCP associated companies.
We have thousands of American citizens needing financial help.
AMERICA FIRST.
With the government we have now, Kick-back first, Citizens last. Works for Biden and the Democrats.
It’s crazy Gov Gretchen Whitmore-you know, the one who Dems talk about having to take Bidens place
The government is AGAINST the people and only care about their pocketbooks, except for a handful that are truly American Patriots.
Because, just like with any American company in a similar situation, the Chinese company creates jobs and politicians covet jobs. Simply put, the politicians are paying to create jobs. Good or bad, short-term or long-term, it makes a limited kind of sense.
Arkansas governor kicked them out of Land ownership.
This should be done nationwide!!
DeSantis put a stop to China buying up all the land in Florida as well. That's why Trump needs DeSantis as his VP. We know his track record and can trust that he isn't a closet RINO! I sure hope Trump realizes DeSantis is the only one who can be trusted to put America first! #TRUMPDESANTIS2024 to save America!
She did, but in my opinion what she did wasn't enough. Chinese can still own buisness in Arkansas, that should end, and the land part is only if they are involved with a Chinese govt owned buisness. Prvt companies by Chinese that are a shill for govt buisness are all over the place. This needs investigations.
@@charleswarren4032 I agree
Smart state!
Where did the governor of Michigan get 800 million dollars to give to our enemies and why would congress allow Chinese to buy land.
Probably bribes n kickbacks
Probably the Trump hating Gov.
Traders
Don’t forget the tax payer of course.
She took it from the teachers retirement fund
CHINA OWNS CERTAIN POLITICIANS ❗️
They own Hollywood!
They have a majority ownership of many big cities & utilities....
And the bidens are in their backpocket.
Yup, Hunter and the big guy!
The most prominent politician that china owns lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington DC
Governor of that state is in the Chinese back pocket. Come on. We know some politicians are selling us out.
Whitmer?
China 💘 her
Been saying this for years!!
ALL! not some
@@spiritseeker2831not all, but most!!
Trump will fix that shit. They’ll be wanting their check back from Joe.
Unbelievable!!! Can Americans go to the CCP and build next to their military???
Hell no!!!
No foreign nationals or nations are allowed to buy or own property in China, nor are they allowed to be the principal owners of businesses in that country either.
F DNCCP
Nor can we expect TheCCP to fund us to 800 million. Unbelievable.
Not a chance in a million years
Somebody was bribed.
What is WIPO?
Yup, his name is Biden!
And whitmer
Wretched Witchmore and Michigan Democrats.
@@calvinhobbes6118 I’m a Michigan Republican and I approve this message.
My god the USA have gone mad
Crazy how the left complains about things like this when it is them doing it. Geesh, almost everything the left complains about is because of them. Most poverty ever, Black Ghetto's, illegal Gun Violence, Rac1sm, J Crow, (K)KK, ect... All made by the left.
Yes ! On the backs of honest law abiding tax payers !
Dems gone mad!
and Starmer's close behind
Give the contract to an American company.
Lisa McClain doesn't get due credit by MI. She can tell it like it is and back up with research and facts.
yep - she's super good and comes out swingin' every time . hope she stays in office and continues to do what is right - she's a true patriot
Wish she was our governor here in Michigan
Lisa McCain is awesome!!
No it’s not a coincidence
First time seeing McClain in action and I’m impressed! Keep it up!
@@user-nw4ey6nx5xgive it a rest. She and the Emerican taxpayers are billions of dollars indebted to Chynha. She can swing for the fences everytime, it won't stop the Chyneees
We Love Lisa McClain, we go by FACTS, not feelings.
US MILITARY should buy farmland next to all Chinese military bases in ChYna. Let's see how that goes.
China won't let this happen...
China doesn’t let Americans buy land here
They would let them, and then nationalize the land immediately. They are communists, they don't have our rules. They don't even follow their own most of the time.
The Chinese will never allow that!
China won’t allow any American or American company buy land in China….yet the US allows China’s government to buy land here. Pretty dumb huh? And the news in one state said the police busted a huge marijuana operation run by China with many Chinese workers…who probably crossed the border illegally…working there. The news said they are possibly lacing this marijuana with fentanyl to poison Americans because they aren’t sending it back to China to sell.
Michigan taxpayers should get 800M dollars to spend at michigan business to increase jobs of taxpayer choice!!!!
That 800 million was taken out of the teachers retirement fund
@@jmsmorleymore like given not taken . Somewhere on our sovereign soil this is a crime.
@@denniskane1870 are you saying that the retired teachers willingly gave their retirement to whitmers pet projects? Are we really that dense?
@@jmsmorley Probably - teacher's unions have them all brainwashed.
This is insane! No foreign country should have the ability to buy and opreate in the states.
As of 2021, Chinese entities and individuals owned about 384,000 acres of U.S. agricultural land. Historically only about 3.1%, or 40 million acres, of the nation's 1.3 billion acres of agricultural land has been owned by foreigners.
How’s y of USA chicken and pork processing plants r owned by China 😮
Why give the contract to a Chinese company and not a AMERICAN COMPANY.
Let the sabotage begin.....😡
funded by the CCP to provide the lowest prices.
Cut this BS !!!!!! N O W ………… !!!!!
Same reason why other nations give contracts to Emerican companies and now their own companies. It works both ways, remember?
Why do we ALLOW any foreign ownership of U.S. property ? How much property
do American people, corporations or the U.S. government own in China ?
There are CORRUPT people in power who cares more about themselves and cronies/friends than the well being of the American people.
What is WIPO?
How much land Does ISRAEL OWN ?????
Our powerplants are foreign owned. I was shocked to find that out after helping build one.

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain & forget about the laptop
Nothing to see here…keep it movin’
It’s not baffling, it’s corruption.
WTF america is in big trouble
Whitmer and her RED star
She is terrible.Vote her out, wait Michigan democrats cheat in elections. How are we going to get her out of office.
The people of the state of Michigan don't want this company in our state. But our Democratic governor thinks it's a good idea, I think she needs a different job.
Recall her
@@shellytoms369 Impossible, unfortunately. After decades of 'so-called R' majority H/S and alternating governors, she 'won her seat' plus 'her SOS' and 'her AG' in 2018, added more seats in 2020 and since 2022 she now has the 'official' D majority H/S . . . not to mention all the appointments made along the way.
@@barbgp4789 what are the chances that this situation came to be through voting fraud? I wouldn't be surprised!
Everyone I know from MI is a raging liberal. .pushing ev, DEI Exclusion of white people for only being white.
VOTE TRUMP 2024!! STOP THIS MADNESS!!!
Hahahahahaha!!!! Where do you think your MAGA merch comes from??
@@windomearle2932 < Communist sympathiser .
@@windomearle2932 That why we need to bring back all of our manufacturer back to USA and we need put pressure on America companies as well. The anti-America liberal democrat government are to be blame for this and the voters as well.
Now non-citizens can vote...
@@jr0079you should start by bringing back all your militaree bases spread all over the world back to the You-S.
ABSOLUTELY NOT NO ONE SHOULD BE BUILDING ANYTHING NEXT TO OUR MILITARY BASES
Agreed100
Whose idea was ? this should be shut down.
I don’t know but all the money Hunter got from the CCP for nothing and gave Biden his percentage. That’s my first guess although I’m sure there’re more
Why Politicians that can be bought.
Are you kidding me who wouldn't your right mind?Would let the chinese build an american base
The Bidens would.

@@duelde-consulting6403who do you think are burning down all those food processing plants and chicken farms? 😣👹 Confucius say😤👹.......
Oh my goodness. A congressional witness who answers direct questions with direct answers.
Is Gretchen on the Chinese take. Did Hunter help?
Translation: No Chinese person or company farts without the PARTY's knowledge and approval.
Well they have plenty of land in their own country to build. We don't need a Chinese company to build here.
No matter what they call it this is treason.
Never in my life would I be expecting to hear this discussion period!
This must be stopped. Period
The same reason the NIH worked with the Wuhan lab.
T Y MRS McClain! We need to know how our money being spent while the average working American can’t afford there groceries!
No Land to foreign countries or non citizens. Our land our jobs and security.
Well when they have joe in their pocket this sh#t happens.
Why? Payoffs for Politicians.
Baffling? Or maybe the situation is exactly what it seems.
Treason for profit.
I don’t care what your party affiliation, this is a very serious situation we all need to take immediate actions to stop the CCCP.
General public needs to drop their 'belief' in having a 'party' affiliation and start demanding and voting for "American" candidates to lead their communities on local, state or national level.
@@barbgp4789 Look at the candidates the American people are presented with.
OMG 😱 this is outrageous 😱
Buy American build American 🇺🇸
Funny you say that I try buying American. I am restoring a classic car and I needed a set of headers for the engine. So I decided to go with an American company that only builds exhaust systems. I paid 680.00 where I could have bought a overseas exhaust for half the price.
I get the exhaust after 2 weeks because it's made to order. I open the box and inspect the exhaust. I find a crack in on of the tubes. You can see it plain as day. Plus the tubing had machine marks all over it. I call get no answer I email after 2 weeks they get back to me. I ended up welding it shut. But the usual attitude from the company was that they said it happens. No apologies no I will reburse you. No pride in America made. Sad but true
I worked at an intellectual property law firm in NYC in 2015. Chinese trademark violations are not a joke.
Who gave the permission for them to put there company there ?? That’s the problem!
Thank you. Well done. Mrs. McClain.
Trump2024
Love this quote from G. Orwell's '1984.' Reminds me of dem party & China CCP: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes & ears; this was their final, most essential command."
like when 10s of thousands of people descended on the Capitol and you want to pretend like it wasn't to pressure Pence to overturn the E
China acceded to the WIPO-administered the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property on 19 December 1984.
Was this the data the balloon collected on its way over Michigan🤔
There’s more ballon’s up from Texas border to South Carolina n they’re not Chinese
Most likely
I am speechless
This is unbelievable like a lot of other things selling out of are county's security . It a said situation.
The fact that they are having a hearing about a Chinese company building a military base for the U. S. has my shaking my head. How bout no and end the hearing? 🤬🤬🤬
Corrupt USA Government?
Think so? Me too. I wrote my reps in Washington. Did you?
And how many US companies are built right next to Chinese military bases? Exactly!!!
It’s just like the Indian owning all our mini mart & we’re suppose to hire American but all I see in these places are Indian! We lend them the money 5o buy these business, but they bring all their relatives to work here!
Love Lisa
I’m from Michigan but have lived in Colorado for 30 years. We need Lisa McClain in Colorado. As everyone knows Colorado has lost its mind in so many ways.
This is crazy!! It's just so unbelievable!! I'm just litterally... shocked!! No matter how many times I watch this video, I'm just completely mystified by the buttons on the shirt of the heavy-set gentleman sitting behing Mary Kissel, and especially that one button that is somehow hanging on, clinging to the fabric with all the strength it can muster, despite the immense pressure being put on it, somehow it manages to keep it's grasp on the eyelet, it's threads not giving way, it's just... incredible really. 😶
The people doing this should be in jail.
Nope. Intended. The CCP is very calculated in where they purchase land. They should not be allowed to buy any USA land period!
Your not alone in how you feel.
I am amazed at how Chinese have purchased land and have business here ?
Vote that governor out of office.
Good point, but why have them here at all… Foreign plants should be overseen by congress not a single governor of a state.
They own all of our debt. They're going to purchase whatever they want.
859 billion ... we owe 35 trillion so ... a good amount
When the biolab in Reedley, CA was reported it became clear our regulations have serious gaps. We need to address this before something worse happens.
I guess all these DC Reps are on vacation. Does it seam weird, most seats are empty at all these committees.
Why doesnt th military buy the land near its bases and secure them or is this being done on purpose
Build it in Detroit, flint or Lansing where the impoverish can get a job.
This isn't new. China has built "factories" next to many strategic sites . 🤔😱
The Traitors don't fear prosecution. They are protected by the other Traitors.
Both women are clear and concise with their responses.
The person in charge is blackmailed or bribed, follow the money, look deep it will be well hidden
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has an office in Beijing, China. The office promotes products and services in China and supports the organization's work there.
The people that live in that area of Michigan do not want that plant.
PASS A LAW ONLY AMERICAN CITIZENS THAT LIVE HERE PERMANENTLY CAN OWN ANY HOUSING OR LAND! GAME OVER! YOU SURELY CANT BUY LAND IN MEXICO😊
If a Mexican citizen gives up his citizenship for American citizenship, he cannot inherit his family's land in Mexico.
I have a friend who has been in America for more than 30 years, and served quite a while in the U.S. military. He loves this country and has 4 adult sons born in America. He has been offered U.S. citizenship on several occasions. But, he has declined on the basis that as the oldest son in his family, it would be an insult to his parents to shirk his familia heritage.
THAT POMPEO REMARK MANY YESRS AGO SHKULD HAVE KEPT AMERICAN TECH COMPANIES AWAY FROM.INVESTING IN CHIBA!!!!
The Chinese have bought up at least 380,000 acres of land and also major food companies in the U.S.
Giving a contract ot a Chinese company to build our military base. Is this the pinnicale of insanity?
Listen again at the 3:47 mark. this should frighten EVERYONE
Back in the Sixties I recall hearing a Chinese businessman on TV boasting (I'm paraphrasing) "China will overtake America, not on the battlefield, but in the classrooms, politics, and corporation boardrooms" Of course, being haughty Americans, we scoffed at them and went about our business. Looking around at how many companies they now own, and the amount of learning institutions that they fund, it is clear to me that they have made good on their threats
Brave woman 👍
Thank you for discussing this plant in Michigan
What is so Disgusting is that 75-85% of the seats are Empty. These People/Elected Officials are no longer Viable.
Absolutely Disgusting!
Wake up USA
Leroy Jethro Gibbs' rule 39, "There is no such thing as a coincidence."
Thank you Lisa we need more like you in Congress.
wake people we are being sold out
And why is it that it’s Chinese companies and not AMERICAN companies building these places and buying up these farmlands?
Somebody needs to investigate this immediately and find out who's behind this
We do want trade with China but we need to say no to training for military on our soil and we shouldn't fund that.
If you give money to a company knowing they are committing espionage then that is called treason?
NO company should be getting $800 million of MY money, but especially a Chinese company!
Everyday more Beyond Belief.
No Chinese owned company should be allowed to in this country and we should not be giving them money to build
Give them the plans, allow them to potentially put in weaknesses and back doors. What could go wrong?
Why they allowing this . Where's the watchdogs. Buying up are counties.
And the citizens in that area have opposed that company going there but once money starts flowing others look the other way.
This should be a national security concern! No AMERICAN land should be owned by CCP.
It's totally insane for the US to allow any foreign advisory to own or build anything period.
Party State no fucking kidding
What the democrats want here.
What the democrats want here.
It pays the governor well. She's makes 6 figures as governor, but not 8 figures, and its expensive living well in the US.
I served in the U.S. Navy,on a ship out of San Diego. We never saw Chinese ships in the early 1980’s under Ronald Reagan . Soviets? All the time. Todays Chinese navy is know larger than ours. Never would I imagine Russian Navy off our Florida coast. 🤬⚓️💪🏼🇺🇸
