Investor Kevin O’Leary called on the U.S. to impose even heavier tariffs against China, telling Fox News’ Trey Gowdy on Sunday that the “Chinese only understand the stick.”
Pointing to Congress’ bipartisan ban on TikTok as just one example of how the Chinese do not compete on a level playing field, the “Shark Tank” star recalled how they used the U.S. judicial system against Americans.
“Congress on a bipartisan basis said, ‘Look, it’s a spyware and we want to shut it down January 19th.’ It’s an act of Congress, it’s the demand of the people of America, they made that decision,” he said. “The Chinese came here, the supreme leader who controls it, and he used our court system to sue us, to litigate that from happening, suing the American people. Do you think I can do that in China? Not a chance in hell I could do that in China. So, I’m OK if he wants to use our legal system against us, but I have to do the same thing. I want access to their courts, I want access to their IP, they have to pay the same price to list their companies that I do, and they don’t because they don’t have the same compliance costs, and we should kick them off the exchanges.
“I want to go to DEFCON-19 against China,” O’Leary added. “I don’t like tariffs against anybody else, but I want to bring them to their knees with a blowtorch to deal with us fairly. And that is why you use tariffs. You squeeze them because the Chinese only understand the stick. I’ve said it countless times, they understand the stick, they respect the stick, give them the stick. And believe me, after enough pain, because their economy has got some fractures in it, they will say, ‘Okay, just kidding. We will play on a level playing field.’ I want heavy, heavy, heavy tariffs on China, more than we have, even more, because I live with it. They steal our IP. I can’t say enough negative stuff. I’m sorry, I’m just telling the truth.” […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
