Now tell me what is the purpose of the Freedom summit? Why are you holding it now?
Dave Brat
Yeah, well, China is the biggest existential threat to this country going forward for the next decade or two, it will inform all of our students lives going forward. On the educational front, or on the political front. It’s issue number one. And we kind of have one premise on which everything else hangs. And that is think six months ago, you were watching sporting events going out to eat going to Check it out your family life was good. The virus came from China from Wu Han. And the question is did they send it? And I think the answer is there. Yes. The answer is yes. There’s intent. They sent us the virus. How do we know that they shut down all travel in muon they shut down all travel to their capital, Beijing. But they unleashed 400,000 flights people leaving for Milan, Italy for New York City for San Francisco intentionally. They deceived us when it came to their reporting on person to person contact. They deceived us on who and their work with them the World Health Organization. And so everything hangs on that premise. If they sent us the virus, then they are morally responsible for the 40 million Americans that have lost their job. The hundreds of thousands that will die globally due to this virus. The health concerns the downsizing of businesses, the bankruptcy of small businesses, and just Every single piece of this unpleasantness has been delivered to you by the Chinese CCP, not the Chinese people.
