Gallagher: Hundreds of billions in US capital fund Chinese military tech
“We have trillions, billions, probably hundreds of billions of dollars, American dollars that are flowing into Chinese technology and military companies that are building things like aircraft carriers, artillery shells, fighter jets, things that are designed to…”
Gallagher: Illegal Reedley biolab held Ebola, HIV, and tuberculosis samples
“Eventually it was discovered that these vials contained Ebola HIV, tuberculosis. There was a freezer labeled Ebola. It was like these silver Ziplocs inside and the CDC wouldn't test it, which is crazy.”
Gallagher: The Lancet covered up COVID origins, aiding the CCP
“You've had basic, you know, So-called scientific journals, peer-reviewed scientific journals like Lancet completely beclown themselves during the pandemic and continue to beclown themselves in large part by covering up for the origins of COVID and thereby witt…”
Gallagher: CCP-influenced ByteDance control over US news platform borders on suicide
“To allow a company, ah, that is owned by ByteDance, which is beholden to the Chinese Communist Party, to be the dominant news platform for the next generation of Americans, I think borders on, on national suicide.”
Gallagher: US will go to war if China moves on Taiwan
“We will go to war with China if China makes a move against
Taiwan, not because one of our ships accidentally bumps into theirs.”
Gallagher: Defense CEOs giving Xi Jinping a standing ovation was grotesque
“In some ways, the more grotesque display was what we saw at the business, the US-China Business Council meeting afterwards, where you had, you know, American CEOs giving Xi Jinping a standing ovation to include defense contractors, by the way. Raytheon, Boeing…”
Gallagher: Dangerous to assume China's economic woes deter Taiwan invasion
“And I think it's dangerous, therefore, for president Biden to suggest as he did in Vietnam and as he just did in San Francisco, that because China has economic problems, she is less likely to invade Taiwan.”
Gallagher: America must stop electing Baby Boomers to the presidency
“Well, I do strongly believe that we have to stop electing boomers as president, so I would at least satisfy that criteria, but I doubt I will be winning Iowa or New Hampshire, or even Wisconsin anytime soon.”
Gallagher: US Army cannot defend expeditionary bases from drones cost-effectively
“The Army can't do its one J-ROC, its one joint function, which is defense for our expeditionary bases against missiles and drones like this. We're on the wrong side of the cost curve.”
Gallagher: War With China Would Dwarf Ukraine and Middle East Conflicts
“If we don't get the hard power side of the equation right, we may stumble into war on someone else's terms, and it's going to be horrific. It will look the current, it will make the current crises in the Middle East and Ukraine look like child's play in compar…”
Gallagher: If Taiwan falls, US treaty commitments to Japan and Philippines become impossible
“If Taiwan falls, it will make our ability to fulfill our treaty commitments with Japan and the Philippines, Impossible.”
Gallagher: TikTok will not go public in US under ByteDance ownership
“If you are invested in ByteDance, I would assume you want TikTok to go public in America. Ah, that's not gonna happen under the current ownership structure.”
Gallagher: CCP is the worst actor on ESG and social justice
“If social justice or ESG is a big deal for you and your employees, I just would ask you to recognize that there's no worse ESG actor, and no greater offender of social justice issues than the Chinese Communist Party. They suck on the E, the S, and they really …”
Gallagher: DoD must place major procurement bets on non-prime defense startups
“It is ultimately, however, to Jake's point, gonna take DoD actually making big bets on a few companies that are non-primes, because we just keep admiring the valley of death problem”
Gallagher: Huawei is rebounding using SMIC semiconductors and US tech access
“Like right now Huawei is off the mat. It's coming back with SMIC semiconductors, in part because they still have access to U.S. Technology, right?”
Gallagher: Only Surging Hard Power West of Dateline Deters Xi Jinping
“No amount of apex summits, no amount of relentless diplomacy are going to affect Xi Jinping's calculus. The only thing that will affect his calculus is for us to surge hard power to the Pacific west of the international dateline.”
Gallagher: Teachers' unions effectively bribe politicians and distort American politics
“Notably the teachers' unions who quite, I mean, are effectively bribing politicians, right? And these are public employee unions that are playing a massive and distorting role in our politics.”
Gallagher: CCP operated an undeclared police station in Manhattan
“The CCP via an innocuous sounding nonprofit that was basically a United Front Work Department entity set up on a police station in the heart of Manhattan that was being used to surveil, harass, and in some cases physically assault people on American soil.”
Gallagher: Americans can easily buy dangerous pathogens like HIV online
“You right now, Joe, could go online and buy, you could buy, you could definitely buy AIDS, you could buy MERS, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome. There's no tripwires in place for the purchase of this stuff,”
Gallagher: BlackRock and MSCI funnel US capital to blacklisted Chinese entities
“We've done an investigation of BlackRock MSCI, and we've only scratched the surface. We've investigated some other some venture capital organizations, and we are, we're, Capital continues to flow even to companies that are on various federal government blackli…”
Gallagher: Banning foreign adversary control of social media is constitutional
“I think it's incredibly legal and consistent with free speech to prevent a hostile foreign adversary from controlling what is increasingly a media and news platform.”
Gallagher: Open to forced TikTok sale if US company gets algorithm
“As long as it comes with algorithmic control, By an American company, I would be fine with a forced sale, and that way American investors who own a bunch of ByteDance don't totally lose a ton of money”
Gallagher: Skeptical that US efforts to achieve semiconductor independence will work
“Where we've already made a decision that we're going to try to wean ourself off semiconductor dependency on Taiwan, I guess in this case, I'm skeptical it's going to work”
