00:00:00.000
To the capital of Taiwan now, Taipei, where the results of the presidential and parliamentary elections are imminently known.
00:00:10.920
Helen Ann Smith, our correspondent, is there. What can you tell us, Helen Ann?
00:00:17.180
Well, I can tell you it is just four hours since the polls closed here in Taiwan, and it seems that we have a winner.
00:00:23.540
You might be able to see on the screen behind me that man in the white coat.
00:00:26.340
His name is Ho Yo-i. He is the opposition KMT candidate, and he is conceding defeat as we speak in this Taiwanese election.
00:00:36.040
And it means that the winner, as has been expected, is a man called Lai Ching-se.
00:00:41.500
Lai Ching-se is the current vice president of Taiwan. He represents the DPP party here.
00:00:47.300
It's the ruling party. It's been in power for the last eight years.
00:00:50.440
And it is the party, crucially here in Taiwan, that takes the hardest line against China.
00:00:55.720
Lai Ching-se, a popular figure. He has really based his entire campaign around this very clear message that this vote, as he says,
00:01:05.100
has been a choice between democracy and autocracy, making that hard line against China a very, very central part of his campaign.
00:01:13.740
And it has clearly resonated with voters here. It will be very, very shortly that we will see him up on this podium.
00:01:20.260
This is exactly where we expect him to make his victory declaration.
00:01:24.820
And we will hopefully have a chance to ask questions of him about that victory.
00:01:29.180
Remember, here in Taiwan, it is a flourishing democracy, a big, powerful economy.
00:01:35.660
They run their own military and so on and so forth.
00:01:38.500
But it is not officially an independent country because its big, powerful neighbor, China,
00:01:47.740
It sees this province, this island as a breakaway province.
00:01:51.380
And it makes consistent threats towards this island.
00:01:58.300
China is actually worth saying. It's been a little quiet this week.
00:02:02.060
Perhaps interpreted as an attempt not to accidentally push voters into the hands of the DPP
00:02:08.020
because it is this result, a DPP, a lighting to a victory, that will be considered the most provoking outcome to China.
00:02:16.480
But look, outside this tent, there is a victory party underway with people of Taipei and people are elated.
00:02:25.000
We've been in and out of this tent checking in with people and people are excited.
00:02:29.960
And again, so many of them telling us that it was that cross-straight relations issue that really, really motivated them.
00:02:42.460
People waiting for their own lives or even if they go to Taiwan.
00:02:43.460
Whoцевia asking for their own lives or Jews are willing to join.
00:02:46.680
We are too exited in what she has actually done as a chance to do under, doing her first Effects as a farmer.
00:02:55.240
And again, so many of them через the hill breeze about the horizontally.
00:03:06.720
this is the primal scream of a dying regime pray for our enemies because we're going medieval on
00:03:20.600
these people here's not got a free shot all these networks lying about the people the people have
00:03:27.200
had a belly full of it i know you don't like hearing that i know you try to do everything
00:03:30.960
the world to stop that but you're not going to stop it it's going to happen and where do people
00:03:34.540
like that go to share the big line mega media i wish in my soul i wish that any of these people
00:03:42.360
had a conscience ask yourself what is my task and what is my purpose if that answer is to save my
00:03:50.300
country this country will be saved war room here's your host stephen k band
00:03:57.520
it's saturday 13 january in the year of our lord 2024 a historic uh day uh in taiwan a free people
00:04:11.600
voting for freedom in the face of one of the most powerful uh countries in the history of the earth
00:04:16.560
uh the chinese communist party run china the people in taiwan voted for their freedom we've
00:04:22.540
got wall to wall coverage here uh and just want to say it's just an incredible day for lao bai jang
00:04:27.960
incredible day for the chinese uh in taiwan uh incredible day for taiwan and for the anti-ccp movement
00:04:35.300
throughout the world uh because i think we proved in the last in the run-up to this and then in this
00:04:41.880
election that yes the chinese people can handle democracy pretty well in fact they are a beacon
00:04:46.920
for the world uh nicole uh sai joins us uh ma'am give us the high list here before we get into the
00:04:53.860
victory speech in the face of really uh massive pushback and threats by the chinese communist party
00:05:01.180
the people in taiwan stepped up and were pretty clear about at the presidential level about what
00:05:06.880
they want correct well absolutely it is a total victory and a victory day for not only the people
00:05:15.180
in taiwan but also for the all democracies from around the world so today the ruling party uh
00:05:22.000
presidential candidate william lai or the lai chingde uh won and um and so he just gave a victory
00:05:30.000
speech so despite all of the ccp's military intimidation economic coercion influence uh paddling
00:05:38.300
campaign taiwanese people voted beijing's most hated candidate and that is william lai
00:05:45.020
he's a heartliner and he wants to um stand for taiwan's independence from the ccp's control
00:05:52.380
and manipulation so today we just learned that uh the ccp uh has blocked all the news about this
00:06:00.340
taiwan presidential election but uh lao bai xin in china from the east coast to west to west
00:06:07.760
mountains they're using fireworks to celebrate taiwanese people's victory because that's a victory
00:06:14.720
uh against the ccp's intimidation and deterrence
00:06:19.440
uh now on the we're getting to this in a few minutes but on the legislative side looks like
00:06:26.500
it's going to be split it looks like the the the kumangtan may have a slight one or two seat
00:06:31.660
uh majority but it's very close there's the tpp party that hasn't decided what they're going to go
00:06:36.740
but in the legislature it's let's say it's roughly looks like 50 50 uh and they may be able to block
00:06:42.820
some things we'll have to figure that out as we go on but what the ccp threw down hard at the
00:06:47.980
presidential level and said absolutely if you in fact they were intimidating uh intimating that
00:06:53.300
if you vote uh for william lai you're voting for war am i incorrect there yeah so according to the
00:07:00.840
ccp's propaganda if taiwanese people make lai ching the president it means the taiwanese people will be
00:07:07.660
voting for the war but in victory speech william lai told the international community that taiwanese
00:07:13.900
people make the correct choice between freedom and um authoritarism and he commanded the taiwanese
00:07:24.320
people for the absolute courage in making the right choice and he also said that this victory
00:07:32.020
showed that taiwanese people can resist the ccb's intimidation and coercion and he also stressed that
00:07:40.220
taiwan will continue to work with all the democracies from around the world and also he said he's open
00:07:48.400
to dialogue with beijing based on the rule of law and based on dignity and equality
00:07:55.440
see this is where we're going to unmask all the hypocrisies you know all this whining uh from the
00:08:04.260
illegitimate biden regime and their allies and all the folks in nato none of all democracy it's all
00:08:10.100
about democracy it's all about democracy in ukraine not one of those gutless leaders will step up against
00:08:15.920
the ccp and say yes what taiwan did they won't recognize taiwan they won't back the dpp this
00:08:22.620
shows you the absolute abject hypocrisy of these phonies when they're sitting there crying oh ukraine's
00:08:29.220
got to have democracy it's democracy when there's no democracy in ukraine at all okay here you had a
00:08:35.340
free people in the face of a brutal enemy 90 miles away that essentially said hey we're voting for our
00:08:42.340
freedom and liberty and we'll fight for our freedom and liberty if you have to and all the other you
00:08:46.960
know all the other folks oh this is all about democracy all about democracy they're all liars
00:08:51.060
they're all cowards and liars they haven't backed taiwan they haven't backed the free uh chinese people
00:08:57.340
in taiwan they haven't backed the republic of taiwan and now you see france running there and saying
00:09:02.120
great job you see the united kingdom coming over saying great job you see the germans coming over and
00:09:06.520
saying great job you see the italians you know where where's georgia maloney where all these people
00:09:11.160
that are sitting there saying oh this is all about democracy in ukraine well we just had
00:09:15.820
an example of a free people voting for freedom when this massive uh dictatorial military is saying
00:09:24.480
that hey we're going to either do a naval blockade we're going to take over the south china sea
00:09:27.980
or we're going to invade and those people at the ballots box said uh said no your your thoughts nicole
00:09:34.720
i think taiwan is definitely one of the most vibrant democracy from around the world and
00:09:42.580
ukraine cannot be compared with taiwan since 1996 taiwan had the first presidential election
00:09:49.240
every election faced the ccp's military intimidation economic coercion and total blockade
00:09:57.060
the taiwanese people were so brave and again and again they defeated the ccp's interference
00:10:03.100
because they're determined to preserve taiwan's independence and and freedom so i think that
00:10:10.160
taiwan is a great role model for all the democracies uh we know this year the turnout for the
00:10:16.920
voting is about 75 percent and also there's no mail-in ballot all the votes are counted by hand
00:10:26.120
and so there's no chance for election fraud they don't use dominion uh dominion voting machine so
00:10:34.040
taiwan is a great role model and it inspired the 1.4 billion people in china to stand up against the
00:10:42.120
ccp so so that's why taiwan is so strategic in terms of the geopolitical importance and they matter a lot
00:10:50.040
to the u.s national interest not only in indo-pacific but but from around the world because taiwan has the
00:10:56.600
largest semiconductor chips and they're also planning to have factories in arizona in other parts of the
00:11:03.720
world they're trying to reduce taiwan's economic dependence uh on ccp country and so i think that's
00:11:11.720
also something that u.s can learn from taiwan we need to reduce our energy dependence economic
00:11:19.960
dependence on the ccp and make america independent and great again
00:11:27.320
nicole hang on one second you're going to hang with us let's go to taiwan and chris from the new
00:11:30.760
federal state of china chris uh your your thoughts of what has gone down today in this historic third
00:11:37.960
term for the anti-ccp freedom party uh the dpp sir i uh i think thank you mr bernard and hi everyone
00:11:48.760
so um um this time i think most of all of the taiwanese people are very happy about these uh elections
00:11:58.200
because uh the dpp won as we expected and it uh it is also showed the world that
00:12:08.840
chinese people the people who is uh black hair and the yellow skin can have a fair elections and
00:12:16.840
taiwan has done these elections for several times so um if taiwan can do it i think the rest of the world
00:12:25.000
can can do it and right now the taiwan the people in taiwan we are all happy about that
00:12:30.040
uh lighting the he he he win he win these elections and uh um uh as we are celebrating um but there's still
00:12:42.520
a small concern is that the registrator uh seats and none of the big parties they got uh over 50 of the
00:12:53.960
seats right now the uh dpp got 51 seats and then the kmt got 52 seats and then the tpp got eight seats and
00:13:06.040
there are two seats that which belongs to none of the parties so in order for dpp to have a um to govern
00:13:16.600
better they need to convince five seats so that they can pass the bill they like to pass and 57 seats is
00:13:27.480
the uh over 50 of the seats so um i think it uh later on the dpp will need to negotiate and then try to
00:13:40.200
yeah advices that who can support them yeah chris thank you so much a very astute uh analysis want
00:13:50.680
to thank you for all the help and effort you've given us on the run-up to this so thank you very much
00:13:54.840

00:16:56.360

00:17:03.640
davos davos starts i think on monday we'll be doing wall-to-wall coverage on that and uh in iowa
00:17:10.440
at the same time but it seems to me the elites and this is one of the problems i've had with the
00:17:15.560
elites in the united states of america and throughout the world that i know they they they consider the
00:17:21.880
chinese people to be like children they say steve yeah yeah yeah we hear we know the ccp is bad and
00:17:27.400
they do a lot of bad things and they're not good people but if the chinese don't have a firm hand
00:17:32.600
on them right they're like little they're very emotional they're like children the country will
00:17:37.640
will devolve into chaos that basically the chinese are not ready for democracy they're not ready for
00:17:42.280
self-government uh the elites in in in in europe and mainly the united states will not recognize taiwan
00:17:49.000
they will not recognize the republic of china they will not recognize the free people of china
00:17:53.720
uh how does that strike you do the chinese people understand that there's a lot of white elites
00:17:58.840
throughout the world that are absolutely totally and complete racist and just believe that the chinese
00:18:03.560
communist parties lie that the chinese cannot govern themselves and are not ready for self-government is
00:18:09.960
is actually the reason that quote unquote they back them to have a brutal dictatorship absolutely the
00:18:16.040
globalists along with the ccp are the world's biggest racist and they had the biggest racist uh
00:18:23.400
discrimination against the chinese la bai xing and that's why they don't want to talk about taiwan
00:18:28.920
because taiwan's democracy and the fair election destroyed their lives just look at taiwan they share the same
00:18:37.560
ancestry language culture and um but they have been having you know fair election for so many years
00:18:46.120
and i don't know why people are to keep talking about ukraine ukraine ukraine ukraine they should be
00:18:50.840
talking about taiwan they should be talking about how taiwan would given being a small island had a huge
00:18:59.000
immense courage to stand up to the ccp and just look at how taiwan created the world's most vibrant
00:19:07.080
democracy and semiconductor industry and they're a great ally to the united states of america but the global
00:19:14.760
elites will not recognize taiwan because once they recognize taiwan they are going to return their
00:19:20.760
back against the ccp and the ccp slavery of the 1.4 billion chinese people you know and look uh props
00:19:30.520
to the ukrainian farmers which kind of the it's kind of the kansas of uh of that part of europe uh in a
00:19:36.760
in a bread basket and we we love farmers and we love the fact of what they've done but the reality is in
00:19:42.440
the world stage and the economic impact it's relatively small compared to the small island
00:19:48.040
nation of taiwan which is perfected perfected what the united states has not done and what the
00:19:54.120
china listen the chinese commerce party and the great research labs the weapons labs the universities
00:20:00.200
mit caltech all of it stanford we have not perfected the chip manufacturer like the chinese
00:20:07.320
like the chinese in um in taipei in taiwan they're they drive the world's economy they're absolutely
00:20:13.880
central if if the united states just from a materialistic point of view not from the backing
00:20:18.120
of liberty and freedom if we were to lose access to the free people of taiwan our economy would take
00:20:23.400
a 25 percent hit immediately immediately we would be almost in a depression this is a small island
00:20:29.160
nation against all odds has done this they are some of the greatest people in the world and they're an
00:20:34.600
example of what lao baijing can be if they're given their freedom nicole absolutely just look at the
00:20:42.200
size of taiwan it's a small population compared with the outsized importance in economy and also taiwan
00:20:50.840
supplies 90 percent of the semiconductor chips to the entire world and also taiwan has the best of
00:20:58.120
pineapple grouper fish and all the great agricultural products and so that's why taiwan is a great
00:21:04.760
democracy that deserves our support our moral support and they don't need us to send our troops to fight
00:21:13.240
their war against the ccp they just need the global elites stop working with the ccp and start recognizing
00:21:20.440
the independence of taiwan well who warned us about this and who was always there are for them was
00:21:27.880
miles guo he set up the new federal state and so many other things he did to make sure he supported
00:21:32.360
the the the people in taiwan i remember four years ago it was miles that warned me about terry guo
00:21:39.160
and miles and i worked with the people in taiwan to make sure terry guo who's a running dog of the ccp
00:21:44.760
uh was outed in the primary that's how important miles thought it was so a great victory uh from
00:21:50.520
miles guo today in the entire new federal state of china one thing we did do nicole i want to make
00:21:54.840
sure chris had brought it up but we did warn people that hey this won't be a split decision but there is
00:22:00.680
a fly in the ointment here and that is the legislature talk to us about that for a second because they did
00:22:05.640
it is looks like it's going to come out roughly even uh in their in their assembly well absolutely i
00:22:11.960
think uh in this legislative race uh the dpp uh did not have more than half of the seats which is total
00:22:20.040
113 seats and that means the combined efforts by the two pro-ccp parties the kmt guomingtown and tpp
00:22:29.800
they can actually thwart any legislation that are anti-ccp for example during ma ying joo's time when
00:22:37.240
ma ying joo was the taiwan president and he controlled the legislative and he actually blocked
00:22:44.440
all the arms sales legislation between u.s and taiwan so this is a great source of concern because
00:22:52.520
we know that xi jinping will try to combine the the two pro-beijing parties to defeat important
00:23:02.120
legislations in the house and we also also learned from our whistleblowers inside china that um you
00:23:09.160
know um if let's say uh if uh william lai lost this presidential election uh what would happen to them
00:23:19.960
will be the fate of chen shui bian the former taiwan president who was thrown into jail by ma ying joo
00:23:27.640
the kuo ming down president and so they will start a massive political persecution against their
00:23:34.520
enemies which is very similar to what's happening to president donald j trump in this country and so
00:23:41.480
that's why this victory is so important to keep taiwan's democracy and also to deter the ccp if such
00:23:50.440
a small island like taiwan can deter the ccp why can't the us the world's most powerful country
00:23:58.040
to defeat ccp nicole hang on with us you're going to stick with us for our coverage i want to go uh
00:24:05.080
do i have ben harnwell i want ben ben harnwell uh we're fighting this huge uh 60 80 billion dollar
00:24:11.400
another giveaway to the oligarchs in ukraine but breaking news you know you have a real democracy
00:24:17.800
in taiwan that's a democracy in a time of war which is extraordinary and you had these people step up
00:24:23.720
when the chinese communist party said if you vote for freedom if you vote for the dpp you're voting
00:24:29.160
for war uh and they stood up and said hey we want our freedom we're not going to back down on the other
00:24:34.200
hand all we do here in the in the imperial capital is all day long ukraine ukraine ukraine ukraine
00:24:39.720
ukraine i want you to go through you've done a very good job of saying hey ukraine's not a functioning
00:24:44.600
democracy anymore but something's happened overnight i think is pretty shocking can you get us can you give us
00:24:50.120
an update yeah this is the death of the chilean u.s journalist gonzalo lira uh who'd been doing some
00:24:58.760
sterling reporting from the ground um since the beginning of the war specifically and he was
00:25:05.400
basically if you remember right back at the beginning of the war steve the posse will remember this as well
00:25:11.000
all the the press around the world was pushing out the ukrainian propaganda that sort of as hundreds of
00:25:17.880
thousands of young fighting age men were fleeing ukraine into surrounding countries because they
00:25:23.720
were so feared the russian invasion this guy gonz gonzo lero he was the only person literally the only
00:25:30.840
journalist on the ground uh using social media obviously not not not the mainstream media for which
00:25:37.080
by the way he actually did right um saying this simply isn't true what's happening on the ground that
00:25:43.080
these kids are leaving because they don't want to be drafted to fight in the war uh um that was
00:25:48.200
something that we were saying at the time steve on the war room this was the only journalist there on
00:25:52.600
the ground who um who actually corroborated what we what we were saying our analysis he was thrown into
00:25:59.800
prison once then he was in ukraine by zelensky then he was released again then he was put again in
00:26:05.080
prison in may i think of 2023 now report steve that came out really in the last 24 hours i say
00:26:12.520
unconfirmed unconfirmed reports that he had that he's died there are varying um uh dates on this
00:26:19.640
some say he died on the 11th some say he died yesterday on on the 12th they seem to be sourced to
00:26:24.440
three main points which are his father um uh rt news that the russian news network and of course the um
00:26:32.680
the chilean branch of cnn which um is sourcing that to of all places the the chilean consulate
00:26:41.320
in warsaw in poland um so i would say take this with a grain of uh salt for now gonzalo lira has
00:26:48.680
been reported twice in the past of having died um and has returned but steve he's a us citizen if he
00:26:56.760
has died if this is true that he died in a ukrainian jail there should be massive questions now
00:27:03.000
asked as i said he actually wrote for the mainstream media they should be asking questions of the
00:27:08.280
demanding questions really of the biden administration as to why it did absolutely
00:27:12.680
nothing applied zero pressure whatsoever whilst continuing to finance um the war that is to say
00:27:19.240
the united states could have actually exercised a degree of push on this and it chose not to
00:27:26.760

okay just an update you know we've been on these uh natural asset companies this scam that's uh
00:29:49.800
they're driven by the big uh ngos and philanthropic and other nefarious characters many of whom are tied
00:29:56.200
directly to the ccp to take control of public and private lands throughout the united states it's
00:30:00.840
absolutely a bizarre concept but it's got a lot of momentum i can now report that the house under gosar
00:30:06.840
and others is now directly involved in this they've sent a letter to the new york stock exchange to the
00:30:11.240
the sec demanding answers this thing has gotten so far down the path without any congressional review
00:30:16.920
we're going to make sure that happens so we haven't killed it we still need people to give
00:30:20.360
their comments etc but there's been tremendous progress because of this audience getting on top
00:30:26.200
of people and saying hey this has got to be reviewed it's another another uh globalist move to take the
00:30:31.480
sovereignty of the american people we will not let it stand ben harnwell we got a very special thing
00:30:36.120
we're going to do on monday we don't have time and i don't want to force it into the show today
00:30:40.520
we'll do it on monday until then where do people get you on social media because a lot breaking over
00:30:45.320
the week in this ukraine situation is changing minute by minute as the red sea uh begins to get uh
00:30:53.080
begins to heat up the uh the huti the persian back rebels uh attacked again last night counterattacked
00:30:58.200
they said they're not going to give up this kinetic part of world war three is starting to heat up
00:31:02.680
the situation in ukraine is so important because it ties directly back here to the situation with
00:31:07.400
this budget fight and spending fight in the united states and with langford which we're going to get
00:31:11.080
to in a minute with rosemary jenks so where do people follow you over the weekend ben thanks so
00:31:15.640
much steve it's my social media platform of choice getter and simply there's my surname in in the strip
00:31:21.320
below harnwell at harnwell that's where i am i'll be updating if there's any solid news on gonzalo
00:31:27.000
lira as well and the thing that you flagged up next week it's really important uh war in posse um
00:31:32.200
and it's a look ahead at 2024 based on what the mainstream media says is the rise of the far
00:31:38.280
right across the world which of course isn't the case but beneath what the mainstream media are
00:31:43.880
reporting there is perhaps an underlining truth steve which we're going to be breaking down on the
00:31:48.600
warming perfect ben look forward to seeing back here monday thanks ben harnwell from rome uh we have
00:31:56.440
colonel john mills in taipei colonel mills give us your assessment you've been there done a fantastic job
00:32:01.080
you went to all the rallies you called it too you said hey i think the momentum's here for dpp give
00:32:05.880
us your assessment yeah steve thank you i couldn't have done it without the new federal state of china
00:32:12.600
chris and derek and everybody was just fantastic a great win for the presidency almost a seven point
00:32:22.760
difference that's pretty strong uh nobody nobody got that 50 uh 50 percent uh so we'll see if there's
00:32:30.040
some kind of arrangement that possibly the dpp can make with the the tpp um and everybody talked
00:32:36.680
about increasing defense spending even uh dr ko the tpp said they were going to go from 2.5 to three
00:32:42.440
percent of gdp uh but china is furious they really tried to strong arm it in the last few days i don't
00:32:50.760
think that went well for them uh taiwanese it's in their psyche they they feel invisible they felt
00:32:58.040
invisible since 1971 it's time to make them uninvisible and uh figure out a way to give them
00:33:05.240
representation and maybe even icao the international civil airline authority because of this drone swarm
00:33:11.880
and blockade uh that's essentially in effect maybe that's the place give them a seat at the table and
00:33:17.640
work toward full un representation but it's in their psyche they're invisible and this this wonderful
00:33:24.040
victory uh showed uh that they are not uh invisible they are a powerhouse economy a vibrant democracy
00:33:32.600
and a huge part of the the international scene and uh you're at we did many many uh man on the street
00:33:40.520
interviews many and uh uh it was nobody said by far the majority was uh they they they don't need to ask
00:33:51.160
anybody's permission to be sovereign and independent they already are wow wow huge hang over a second
00:34:00.040
wow they're not asking permission right they're governing themselves that's where such a an incredible
00:34:05.400
people particularly the bravery the ccp came in hard dr thayer we got through the election the the uh
00:34:11.800
the taiwanese people said hey we don't care if you threaten us with war we're voting for freedom
00:34:16.360
walk me through what happens next uh people should understand this ain't over it's a long way from
00:34:22.280
over don't think she and these guys is going to sit there go oh it's the same thing that happened
00:34:26.120
when trump won in 16 don't think they're gonna sit there and go this is terrific let's just toss
00:34:30.200
them the keys and and have at it there's nothing in the world worse for she and the murderous
00:34:36.520
dictatorship of the chinese communist party than a free people on taiwan that are successful it's a
00:34:42.280
robust vibrant democracy as democracy should should be intense debate uh people really engage and
00:34:49.720
passionate about these issues and it's got a robust free market capitalist economy uh dr thayer what
00:34:56.360
what should we be worried about now what we should what should we be looking uh for the next couple of
00:35:00.680
weeks of which the response out of beijing well hi steve it's great to join you on this such an
00:35:07.080
important issue and john mills has just done an outstanding job reporting of these issues working this issue
00:35:11.960
this week uh it's been invaluable um look there are three key actors here there's taiwan of course
00:35:18.360
there's the chinese communist party and the biden administration right so those are the three uh
00:35:23.560
big actors with respect to the first on taiwan we've had a very positive result at least in terms of
00:35:29.640
the presidency legislature is a bit mixed but nonetheless the dpp strong dpp victory is a very positive step
00:35:38.440
forward secondly the chinese communist party as you said xi jinping is not going to take this right
00:35:44.120
he's determined to conquer taiwan and to use coercive measures uh to do so including obviously an invasion
00:35:53.000
so what are we going to expect there we're going to expect that he's going to heat things up uh through
00:35:58.520
coercive measures uh in addition to what they've already done to express his great displeasure and to
00:36:05.560
ensure that uh the virus as he sees it right of democracy does not spread uh in china so as nicole
00:36:13.880
mentioned right there was celebration in china uh and so that's a very worrisome development for xi
00:36:20.760
jinping he's got to make sure that the contagion and that really shows the great value of taiwan and
00:36:26.760
the importance that of course china can be a democracy if it hadn't been for the ccp he's xi jinping is going
00:36:33.960
to do his utmost to ensure that that doesn't uh spread so a lot more coercion coming from xi jinping
00:36:40.440
as you said we're not out of the woods yet we're entering a new phase of political warfare uh and
00:36:46.760
the chinese communist party are going to do their utmost third actor is the biden administration so
00:36:51.880
steve as you know um uh former national security advisor steve hadley and james steinberg are going to be
00:36:57.400
um uh traveling to taiwan uh to convey messages from the biden administration to um uh to william lye
00:37:06.680
uh of course and um that problem that does not augur well uh if the biden administration had taiwan's
00:37:14.200
back uh that would be one thing but it's quite likely that the biden administration is going to be telling
00:37:19.880
taiwan uh to behave and there's evidence of that right the u.s navy was not present uh in the waters
00:37:28.280
around taiwan in any substantial force we didn't have an aircraft carrier for example standing by
00:37:34.680
uh as we might have or two aircraft carriers given how stretched the navy is right it's very difficult to
00:37:40.840
do but this election was so important and is of such national security interest to the united states
00:37:47.480
we should have had that presence biden didn't have it there and that's a signal right and the
00:37:52.840
steinberg and hadley mission is also a signal so uh biden administration is going to be pouring water
00:38:01.240
on this great dpp victory uh and that's not a positive step forward uh for what we need to have uh to
00:38:10.200
ensure that taiwan stays strong and is supported by the key actors japan australia for example
00:38:17.400
the european states that you mentioned right they're absent without leave right they're a wall
00:38:23.480
when they should be in taiwan celebrating uh this great victory and then of course the biden
00:38:29.720
administration uh which um uh seems to bend over backwards to appease uh the chinese communist
00:38:37.320
party and the 400 and the 400 traders that represent the elite hang on for one second i gotta be quick
00:38:43.880
because i'm running out of time i want to go back to colonel mills keep it under a minute uh
00:38:49.000
if they look if they back up their threat they're going to go to war and eric prince the great eric
00:38:55.240
prince and frank gaffney both say it's going to happen by spring a kinetic activity what should we be
00:39:00.920
looking for colonel mills what's the first one or two things you're going to look for to see if she's
00:39:05.320
going to take this in a different direction well if they're going full kinetic it's uh essentially a
00:39:11.320
obvious amphibious loadout and marshalling as ships your hurricane season is really june through
00:39:17.000
october so you have to really start the railway timetable now and moving all your logistics and
00:39:24.040
all your loadouts now so it's going to be very obvious when they conduct this now it's not well
00:39:29.400
known taiwan has a fairly effective first strike capability with a lot of shing fang uh 2f
00:39:36.440
uh missiles their version of the tomahawk so they can they can hit the nine key air fields
00:39:42.040
and all of the critical assembly ports ning ningbo shanghai all in fujian province uh so uh they've
00:39:50.520
really got to make things happen if they're going to go full kinetic really uh uh because june starts
00:39:56.920
hurricane season it's going to be really rough weather it's really and they've never done anything on this
00:40:01.320
scale before the joint logistic joint logistic over the shore operation they just have never done this
00:40:07.240
before the guns of april in this regard uh dr thayer what would you look for let's say let's say
00:40:13.400
they're going to do not full full kinetic let's say they're going to go naval blockade or air blockade
00:40:18.120
what would you look for dr thayer well look xi jinping is going to bang a spoon against his high
00:40:23.560
chair on this right he's very upset and and we're going to expect a lot of measures political measures as
00:40:29.880
well as coercive measures against taiwan the biden administration needs to convey that we have
00:40:35.720
taiwan's back okay they're not doing that and that's that is very dangerous uh because that ensures a
00:40:43.080
signal to xi that he can do what he wants uh against taiwan so biden administration should be
00:40:49.880
celebrating this right they should be dancing in the street that you had this outcome in taiwan
00:40:55.080
the fact that they're not the fact that they're not very worrisome it's it's crickets it's crickets
00:41:02.200
folks we're celebrating here in the war room we're celebrating uh and on our miles grow and everybody
00:41:06.760
the new federal state and the people in taiwan everybody brought this together it's crickets
00:41:10.600
out of a biden i couldn't think of two worse people to send either as hadley and steinberg that's
00:41:14.920
another joke that's another signal hang over a second nicole uh the chinese people in taiwan uh what what
00:41:21.880
are you think they're anticipating they think do you think they anticipate that she is going to do
00:41:26.520
more than bang a spoon against the uh his high chair that he's going to make some move here
00:41:31.960
well absolutely first of all i i i i want to comment on bradley's assessment he's absolutely correct
00:41:37.880
because we got the intel from our whistleblowers inside china that this election result will make
00:41:44.920
xi jinping to be more determined to exercise uh both naval blockade air blockade economic blockade
00:41:54.840
with constant military intimidation they're going to isolate taiwan um uh you know encompassing taiwan
00:42:02.120
with all kinds of threats and that's why we asked the biden administration to please show great support
00:42:07.800
to taiwan in as many ways as possible and also i want to uh comment that we heard from so many war
00:42:15.800
room posies the taiwanese posies uh that they love war room because america first movement inspired the
00:42:23.240
taiwanese people's taiwan first movement they want to defend taiwan and so i i we heard so many great
00:42:31.000
feedback from colonel john mills great reporting on the ground and so many people heard about steve k bannon
00:42:39.560
and the war room posy and they know american people got their back and finally the greatest key takeaway
00:42:46.680
from this taiwan victory shows that taiwan people are not timid they're not weak they're insurgents
00:42:54.040
their rebellions they stand up to the world's most powerful dictatorship and that should inspire
00:43:01.080
the american people to send the ccp's most hated president to the white house and that's president
00:43:08.120
donald j trump nicole how do people uh get to you we got to bounce fantastic how do people get to you on

00:45:05.800
in taiwan you've had a free people uh step up here and say hey in the face of all this we'll vote for
00:45:11.640
our freedom but freedom is not free and we're now going to they're going to go through the testing
00:45:17.400
uh lindell's going to join us in a second another thing that taiwanis have done besides besides
00:45:22.280
advanced chip design i mean they're amazing people um they're also run with all the trying to the ccp
00:45:29.880
trying to interfere and do everything on technology they ran a clean election and they got it done in
00:45:35.160
one day and we had the results before we thought we're going to have them by hand count and mike lindell's
00:45:40.600
going to walk through that so another shining example where are the europeans look let's just
00:45:44.280
be blunt this is pure racism this is pure racism you got the europeans the party of davos and all
00:45:50.680
they're doing is belly aching about ukraine and ukraine ukraine and that's essentially a civil war
00:45:55.000
between various aspects of the russian people oh did banna go there um and uh and it's not a
00:46:02.520
democracy zelinski's a dictator he's cracked down on that there no elections no free press no church
00:46:08.200
this american reporter looks like he may be dead and in taiwan against all odds with the world's
00:46:14.600
elite saying yes we need the ccp to be a dictator because the chinese people are too unruly they're
00:46:20.440
too childlike they're too emotional and if you had 1.4 billion people out of control the world would be
00:46:25.240
a mess look at taiwan look at what these amazing amazing laobaijing and what laobaijing is it's the
00:46:32.600
chinese word for uh the common man the little guy old hundred names is how it translates old
00:46:38.040
hundred names it's the it's it's the deplorables it's maga and their heroism and patriotism is
00:46:44.680
extraordinary uh mills colonel mills you're sticking around you're going to go to press conferences

00:49:17.240
history because folks you're going to need a hedge right now gold was up 13 last year but hey it's
00:49:23.480
going to be uber turbulent this year as you can tell because this this election was between peace
00:49:28.760
and war in taiwan uh mike lindell uh you have spent uh so much of your personal capital your business
00:49:36.440
your your spirit your fight all of this about free and fair elections can you um and by the way
00:49:43.160
somebody that one of the chats said steve you think so many free and fair election i don't think it's
00:49:46.680
going to be a free and fair election this year i think they're going to try to cheat trump we have
00:49:50.440
to be on guard that michael and dale will tell you that what people are putting an incredible amount
00:49:55.400
of time we're not pollyannish about this we understand what's in front of us what is the lesson
00:49:59.720
that taiwan tells us though mike lindell the brave people in taiwan well it's very similar to what
00:50:04.680
happened in argentina they had they they have one of the best election systems there ever it's paper
00:50:09.400
ballots and counted and there's a lot of other stuff they have i wouldn't even have time to tell
00:50:14.040
you that uh uh things that they're that are illegal to do before an election and uh all kinds of things
00:50:20.520
but they have better practices they're like the gold standard for elections um i've studied i met with
00:50:26.680
grants germany uk netherlands uh the taiwan's better than all of them in a lot of ways and we've
00:50:34.040
took those practices to even put them together here for our um what we've done we did at osage
00:50:39.960
county last year we used those practices in an election here in the united states and it was it
00:50:45.000
went up without a hitch the accounting was done the same time as the machines with a hundred percent
00:50:50.120
accuracy and um if people want to learn about that they can go to lyndaleplan.com too we've got this all
00:50:56.920
laid out for our election in 2024 we've got um hundreds of counties that we believe are going to be
00:51:02.760
committed to doing uh paper ballots hand coming just like they did in taiwan what it's amazing
00:51:08.600
they can get it all counted in in a day instead of uh weeks like these machines take steve
00:51:15.560
well no the reason is is not p i mean the reason it takes the democrats weeks and republicans roll over
00:51:20.520
is they're cheating they're they're stuffing they're they're changing come on the reason the taiwanese
00:51:26.040
he's got by the way taiwanese we had had scheduled for it to be announced right before we came on air
00:51:31.320
at 10 at 9 our time east coast time i think they were done two hours before that they had enough to
00:51:36.360
the guy could concede mike hang on because he's got some big news with everything going on in the world
00:51:41.960
