TUCKER CARLSON (HOST): So you mentioned that they hold over a trillion dollars in Treasurys, in our debt. Why wouldn't we just unilaterally forgive our own debt?

GORDON CHANG (SENIOR FELLOW, GATESTONE INSTITUTE): Well, if we were to do that, and we could easily do it, China would do a couple things. First of all, it would say that it was a repudiation of debt, and then they would bash us. They would say that we're not a responsible member of the global financial system. They would then try to dethrone the dollar. Now, I understand what you're thinking. But the point is that we can sort of avoid those types of charges if we work with the issuers of the other major currencies, and then China is left with no arguments in that regard.

CARLSON: Right.

CHANG: It sounds hard to do that, but nonetheless, when we see what's happening in England right now, especially to the prime minister, I think that the anger there is enough so that we could actually build that coalition to actually get the other issuers to work with us.

CARLSON: Boy, I think that sounds absolutely worth doing.
