What was said

"China, like 30 years ago or something, they contracted with Boeing to design like their Air Force One. Now, apparently what we did, such is the relationship between our government and Boeing, that we filled it with all this spying stuff. Even the bedroom, even the premier's bedroom on the plane had listening devices."

Wright reveals an incident where the US allegedly installed extensive surveillance equipment throughout China's custom Air Force One plane, including the premier's private quarters. He uses this to illustrate massive asymmetries in what information reaches American versus Chinese audiences, arguing everyone in China knows this story while virtually no Americans do, demonstrating profound media filtering that distorts threat perceptions.
