00:01:47.728 --> 00:01:50.264
So if it were knocked off line
00:01:50.497 --> 00:01:51.232
So if it were knocked off line we'd face a huge economic
00:01:51.365 --> 00:01:55.202
We'd face a huge economic crisis because our inability to
00:01:55.336 --> 00:01:55.936
Crisis because our inability to get the chips we need.
00:01:56.070 --> 00:01:56.537
Get the chips we need. >> tufts professor chris miller
00:01:56.670 --> 00:01:59.373
>> tufts professor chris miller is the author of chip war the
00:01:59.506 --> 00:02:00.307

Technology. he says the taiwanese companies
00:02:03.077 --> 00:02:05.946
He says the taiwanese companies in semiconductors makes opec's
00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:08.782
In semiconductors makes opec's 40% share of world oil
00:02:08.916 --> 00:02:09.416
40% share of world oil production pale by comparison
00:02:09.550 --> 00:02:10.150
Production pale by comparison today china spend as much money
00:02:10.284 --> 00:02:13.921
Today china spend as much money importing semiconductors as it
00:02:14.054 --> 00:02:17.291
Importing semiconductors as it spends importing oil and it
00:02:17.424 --> 00:02:17.958
Spends importing oil and it buys those shipped in large
00:02:18.092 --> 00:02:20.394
Buys those shipped in large part from us firms that make a
00:02:20.527 --> 00:02:21.161
Part from us firms that make a great business selling china.
00:02:21.295 --> 00:02:24.198
Great business selling china. >> the chip industry is made
00:02:24.331 --> 00:02:25.065
>> the chip industry is made possible by a symbiotic
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:25.666
Possible by a symbiotic relationship among key
00:02:25.799 --> 00:02:28.335
Relationship among key countries that forms a very
00:02:28.469 --> 00:02:29.036
Countries that forms a very complex supply chain.
00:02:29.169 --> 00:02:29.637
Complex supply chain. america, the world's largest
00:02:31.872 --> 00:02:32.573
America, the world's largest market, also makes up 40% of
00:02:32.706 --> 00:02:34.708
Market, also makes up 40% of the total value of this
00:02:34.842 --> 00:02:35.342
The total value of this international supply.
00:02:35.476 --> 00:02:38.412
International supply. >> today if you want to make an
00:02:38.545 --> 00:02:39.380
>> today if you want to make an advanced chip the most cutting
00:02:39.513 --> 00:02:40.114
Advanced chip the most cutting edge chips that you'd find in aa
00:02:40.247 --> 00:02:43.117
Edge chips that you'd find in aa smartphone or data center, it's
00:02:43.250 --> 00:02:43.884
Smartphone or data center, it's simply impossible to do without
00:02:44.018 --> 00:02:46.186
Simply impossible to do without using software from the us
00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:46.887
Using software from the us machine tools from the
00:02:47.021 --> 00:02:50.291
Machine tools from the netherlands, the us and japan.
00:02:50.424 --> 00:02:51.025

00:02:55.562 --> 00:02:58.399
Capabilities in taiwan an international process.
00:02:58.532 --> 00:02:58.999
International process. >> just a few years ago china's
00:02:59.133 --> 00:02:59.733
>> just a few years ago china's tech giant was tsmc's number
00:02:59.867 --> 00:03:02.569
Tech giant was tsmc's number two customer.
00:03:02.703 --> 00:03:03.003
Two customer. then trump administration
00:03:03.137 --> 00:03:06.573
Then trump administration tightened restrictions
00:03:06.707 --> 00:03:07.174
Tightened restrictions preventing huawei from getting
00:03:07.308 --> 00:03:10.210
Preventing huawei from getting chips developed by the u.s. due
00:03:10.344 --> 00:03:10.978
Chips developed by the u.s. due to espionage and national
00:03:11.111 --> 00:03:11.612
To espionage and national security concerns.
00:03:11.745 --> 00:03:14.648
Security concerns. >> weiwei is something that's
00:03:14.782 --> 00:03:15.382
>> weiwei is something that's very dangerous.
00:03:15.516 --> 00:03:15.849
Very dangerous. you look at what they've done
00:03:15.983 --> 00:03:18.686
You look at what they've done from a security standpoint,
00:03:18.819 --> 00:03:19.353
From a security standpoint, from a military standpoint it's
00:03:19.486 --> 00:03:21.555
From a military standpoint it's very dangerous if taiwan were
00:03:21.689 --> 00:03:22.289
Very dangerous if taiwan were taking over or even if it
00:03:22.423 --> 00:03:25.392
Taking over or even if it wasn't taking over but there
00:03:25.526 --> 00:03:26.093
Wasn't taking over but there was war in the taiwan strait
00:03:26.226 --> 00:03:26.860
Was war in the taiwan strait that taiwan repelled.
00:03:26.994 --> 00:03:29.496
That taiwan repelled. even still the shock to
00:03:29.630 --> 00:03:32.466
Even still the shock to semiconductor supply chain
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:33.133
Semiconductor supply chain would cause a deep depression
00:03:33.267 --> 00:03:33.867
Would cause a deep depression in industries worldwide.
00:03:34.001 --> 00:03:36.603
In industries worldwide. and the reason is that today
00:03:36.737 --> 00:03:41.075
And the reason is that today all types of goods require
00:03:41.208 --> 00:03:41.742
All types of goods require semiconductors it's not just
00:03:41.875 --> 00:03:44.878
Semiconductors it's not just smartphones or any sort of high
00:03:45.012 --> 00:03:45.679
Smartphones or any sort of high tech good you might think of it
00:03:45.813 --> 00:03:47.581
Tech good you might think of it your ar which might have
00:03:47.715 --> 00:03:48.215
Your ar which might have hundreds of semiconductors
00:03:48.349 --> 00:03:48.882
Hundreds of semiconductors inside, your coffeemaker, your
00:03:49.016 --> 00:03:52.019
Inside, your coffeemaker, your microwave, almost anything with
00:03:52.152 --> 00:03:52.786
Microwave, almost anything with an on off switch today has the
00:03:52.920 --> 00:03:56.123
An on off switch today has the connectors inside of it more.
00:03:56.256 --> 00:03:59.393
Connectors inside of it more. importantly, miller told cbn
00:03:59.526 --> 00:04:00.094
Importantly, miller told cbn news microchips has
00:04:00.227 --> 00:04:00.627
News microchips has revolutionized american
00:04:00.761 --> 00:04:03.297
Revolutionized american semiconductors made in taiwan
00:04:03.430 --> 00:04:04.031
Semiconductors made in taiwan are used in f-35 fighter jets
00:04:04.164 --> 00:04:07.601
Are used in f-35 fighter jets and a wide range of u.s.
00:04:07.735 --> 00:04:08.268
And a wide range of u.s. military grade weapons and
00:04:08.402 --> 00:04:10.704
Military grade weapons and defense systems since the
00:04:10.838 --> 00:04:11.338
Defense systems since the world's entire tech ecosystem
00:04:11.472 --> 00:04:14.475
World's entire tech ecosystem can't function without these
00:04:14.608 --> 00:04:15.175
Can't function without these chips, that makes the sovereign
00:04:15.309 --> 00:04:15.909
Chips, that makes the sovereign island ground zero for a chip
00:04:16.043 --> 00:04:18.946
Island ground zero for a chip war between the u.s. and china.
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:19.713
War between the u.s. and china. >> that means the world's made
00:04:19.847 --> 00:04:22.983
>> that means the world's made to order chips are made on
00:04:23.117 --> 00:04:23.817
To order chips are made on china's doorstep.
00:04:23.951 --> 00:04:26.653
China's doorstep. both south korea and taiwan are
00:04:26.787 --> 00:04:27.621
Both south korea and taiwan are vulnerable and it is not
00:04:27.755 --> 00:04:30.991
Vulnerable and it is not inconceivable that china could
00:04:31.125 --> 00:04:31.725
Inconceivable that china could take over both of them.
00:04:31.859 --> 00:04:34.695
Take over both of them. >> that's what makes the
00:04:34.828 --> 00:04:35.362
>> that's what makes the communist government's made in
00:04:35.496 --> 00:04:36.130
Communist government's made in china 2025 plan to make the
00:04:36.263 --> 00:04:37.831
China 2025 plan to make the country dominant in global high
00:04:37.965 --> 00:04:38.632
Country dominant in global high tech manufacture a true threat
00:04:38.766 --> 00:04:41.869
Tech manufacture a true threat to the u.s. both economically
00:04:42.002 --> 00:04:42.603
To the u.s. both economically and militarily as china's
00:04:42.736 --> 00:04:45.873
And militarily as china's become stronger it's become
00:04:46.006 --> 00:04:46.573
Become stronger it's become more belligerent or provocative
00:04:46.707 --> 00:04:49.443
More belligerent or provocative ,more aggressive.
00:04:49.576 --> 00:04:50.043
,more aggressive. this is perhaps the greatest
00:04:50.177 --> 00:04:50.744
This is perhaps the greatest mistake america made throughout
00:04:50.878 --> 00:04:54.748
Mistake america made throughout its history and it's a mistake
00:04:54.882 --> 00:04:55.482
Its history and it's a mistake that we may not survive.
00:04:55.616 --> 00:04:57.785
That we may not survive. it's one reason the u.s.
00:04:57.918 --> 00:04:58.452
It's one reason the u.s. followed suit with the chips
00:04:58.585 --> 00:04:59.153
Followed suit with the chips act pouring out billions to
00:04:59.286 --> 00:05:02.122
Act pouring out billions to bring chip and fracturing and
00:05:02.256 --> 00:05:02.856
Bring chip and fracturing and research back to the u.s. if
00:05:02.990 --> 00:05:05.726
Research back to the u.s. if you want to build a cutting
00:05:05.859 --> 00:05:06.427
You want to build a cutting edge chipmaking facility, it'll
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:08.829
Edge chipmaking facility, it'll cost 20 or $25 billion for just
00:05:08.962 --> 00:05:11.799
Cost 20 or $25 billion for just one plant.
00:05:11.932 --> 00:05:12.166
One plant. these are the most expensive
00:05:12.299 --> 00:05:12.866
These are the most expensive factories in history.
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.669
Factories in history. >> tsmc has committed at least
00:05:15.803 --> 00:05:18.672
>> tsmc has committed at least 12 billion to build a chip
00:05:18.806 --> 00:05:19.440
12 billion to build a chip fabrication plant in arizona.
00:05:19.573 --> 00:05:20.174
Fabrication plant in arizona. still neither china nor the
00:05:20.307 --> 00:05:23.043
Still neither china nor the u.s. can overtake taiwan and
00:05:23.177 --> 00:05:23.744
U.s. can overtake taiwan and achieve self-sufficiency any
00:05:23.877 --> 00:05:26.914
Achieve self-sufficiency any time soon.
00:05:27.047 --> 00:05:27.281
Time soon. >> we should care about where
00:05:27.414 --> 00:05:28.015
>> we should care about where they're made because we need
00:05:28.148 --> 00:05:28.749
They're made because we need them to drive our economy and
00:05:28.882 --> 00:05:31.018
Them to drive our economy and it is the case increasingly
00:05:31.151 --> 00:05:34.488
It is the case increasingly things that are further away
00:05:34.621 --> 00:05:35.189

00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:15.308
>> don't you think everybody goes through that at some point
00:24:15.441 --> 00:24:18.411
Goes through that at some point their life it's not just what
00:24:18.544 --> 00:24:19.178
Their life it's not just what is my life about, it's who am
00:24:19.312 --> 00:24:19.946
Is my life about, it's who am i?
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:20.179
I? why i here?
00:24:20.313 --> 00:24:22.648
Why i here? i mean i think most of us asked
00:24:22.782 --> 00:24:23.749
I mean i think most of us asked that question some point some
00:24:23.883 --> 00:24:26.786
That question some point some of us take a longer journey
00:24:26.919 --> 00:24:27.486
Of us take a longer journey than others finding it and some
00:24:27.620 --> 00:24:29.422
Than others finding it and some don't ever find it.
00:24:29.555 --> 00:24:29.989
Don't ever find it. but you are meant to find it.
00:24:30.122 --> 00:24:33.626
But you are meant to find it. i love the fact that drew says
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.594
I love the fact that drew says as that faithful nurse read the
00:24:34.727 --> 00:24:37.964
As that faithful nurse read the word of god, he began to hear
00:24:38.097 --> 00:24:41.267
Word of god, he began to hear who he was.
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:41.767
Who he was. you know god doesn't keep a
00:24:41.901 --> 00:24:42.535
You know god doesn't keep a secret from us.
00:24:42.668 --> 00:24:44.570
Secret from us. he wants us to know him.
00:24:44.704 --> 00:24:45.338
He wants us to know him. we are the ones who shy away
00:24:45.471 --> 00:24:48.608
We are the ones who shy away from coming to him shy away
00:24:48.741 --> 00:24:49.308
From coming to him shy away from his word, shy away from
00:24:49.442 --> 00:24:50.109
From his word, shy away from even message of his love.
00:24:50.243 --> 00:24:52.979
Way because we think we've got
00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:57.116
Way because we think we've got the answers because we think
00:24:57.250 --> 00:24:57.817
The answers because we think we've figured out how to belong
00:24:57.950 --> 00:25:00.853
We've figured out how to belong how to feel special how to feel
00:25:00.987 --> 00:25:01.654
How to feel special how to feel like our lives are significant
00:25:01.787 --> 00:25:04.257
Like our lives are significant .
00:25:04.390 --> 00:25:04.490
. the search for significance
00:25:04.624 --> 00:25:05.224
The search for significance it's in all of us.
00:25:05.358 --> 00:25:08.661
It's in all of us. why are we here?
00:25:08.794 --> 00:25:09.195
Why are we here? you know, until really meet the
00:25:09.328 --> 00:25:12.999
You know, until really meet the one who created you to be here
00:25:13.132 --> 00:25:13.833
One who created you to be here who created you with intention
00:25:13.966 --> 00:25:17.069
Who created you with intention and purpose it's hard to get an
00:25:17.203 --> 00:25:17.870
And purpose it's hard to get an answer to any of that.
00:25:18.004 --> 00:25:20.806
Answer to any of that. you are a creation of the
00:25:20.940 --> 00:25:21.774
You are a creation of the living.
00:25:21.908 --> 00:25:24.610

00:25:32.118 --> 00:25:32.785
He saw you while you were being formed in your mother's.
00:25:32.919 --> 00:25:35.855
Formed in your mother's. he knew you before that and had
