this is what you're fighting for I mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:13.300
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:21.040
get total control and total power because this is just like in Arizona this is just like in Georgia
00:00:26.760
it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations
00:00:31.900
that's why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight
00:00:35.680

00:00:52.840
what brought you to the rally tonight DPP support the DPP so our democracy okay so you're here to
00:01:01.800
support the DPP and and democracy so what's the biggest issue in the election for you I think
00:01:09.140
it's the fact that all out of all three candidates okay Mr. Kerr and Mr. Ho they're basically they're
00:01:17.880
painting pictures that they did this they're basically you know what they're like very simple
00:01:23.320
they're like the Democratic Party of the United States they're full of crap they're just full of it
00:01:29.300
and they're painting pictures that they cannot fulfill so you had to come all the way to Taiwan
00:01:36.480
to learn that the Democrats are full of crap okay that is a very good way and so what do you think
00:01:43.900
should should Taiwan be independent or should be part of China I'm not I'm not against you you know
00:01:50.380
a united Taiwan China I'm not at all but only time that you can have that unity is under peaceful
00:01:59.820
democratic society okay if you cannot have that then it's you're risking the lives people don't realize
00:02:06.860
that you risky look at the examples in Hong Kong Tibet and all these people and you know what the media is
00:02:13.900
just so terrible it's like president Trump said it's fake media and you're not fulfilling your obligation
00:02:22.620
the news used to be reporting now it's all propaganda and what brainwashing and the young people of this
00:02:29.900
generation you don't realize what's going on what the the KMT is promising you and what Mr. Kirk is
00:02:37.740
promising you they can't fulfill it look we have supply chain use all over the world after Colby okay

00:03:50.780
kicking off next uh Monday a week from today is the caucus Iowa caucus but before that is the kickoff
00:03:57.260
to 2024 the monumental election in uh in Taiwan and you're going to have a lot we're going to have a
00:04:02.780
lot of reports from people that you would think you were at a MAGA rally right there's a commonality of
00:04:08.540
folks because they're at the cutting edge in the front line where you have uh you know the Chinese
00:04:13.420
Communist Party all over them I think Taiwan's 90 miles away the Straits of Taiwan about 90 miles
00:04:18.620
and Xi has said hey reunification is going to happen and he's told people he told Biden this
00:04:24.460
right to his face with no pushback now Frank Gaffney came on this morning and you know I've got a lot of
00:04:31.820
regard for Frank working with him for many many decades he was in the defense department with uh
00:04:36.700
during Reagan I was there as a young naval officer coming out of the fleet where we had patrolled
00:04:42.540
the South China Sea in the East China Sea and and pulled into Taiwan and Hong Kong many many times
00:04:47.900
that was our basically our patrol area until we got called in the second deployment over to the
00:04:52.780
wait for it Persian Gulf in the North Arabian Sea because of the hostage crisis when the mullahs who are
00:04:58.620
now the partners of the CCP uh took the American embassy um the CCP has been at work in all that
00:05:06.540
time and all those years to consolidate their power and become the hegemon on the Eurasian landmass
00:05:11.660
and this week uh this Saturday night is going to be the opening salvo if a free and determined
00:05:18.060
people can stay free and determined and that is the folks in the republic of China the free republic
00:05:23.100
of China and Taiwan we've got John Mills Dr Bradley there I want to start do we have Nicole Nicole I
00:05:28.540
want to talk about the new federal state and we'll play some footage later I'm so thankful they met
00:05:34.540
Colonel Mills at the airport uh Colonel Mills is going to be our on the ground uh reporter we have
00:05:39.260
tons of support from new federal state give me your assessment of the new federal state and and the
00:05:44.300
patriots of uh lao bai jing that are fighting the Chinese communist party how big a deal is this
00:05:49.820
election at Taiwan on Saturday night uh ma'am or on Saturday well it is a big deal for the Taiwanese
00:05:56.540
people because people know that what's on the ballot is not about the economy but Taiwan's freedom and
00:06:03.180
democracy Taiwan is a vibrant democracy this year more than 19.5 million people have registered to vote
00:06:11.500
and they're they're gonna have to choose between either a temporary economic benefits of a closer tie
00:06:17.580
with Beijing promised by KMT which is a pro-Beijing party and also the TPP another Beijing friendlier
00:06:26.140
party or having Taiwan's you know uh independence from the CCP but they all have to face the risk of
00:06:34.140
saber-rattling from the people's liberation army but I think the people in Taiwan are determined
00:06:40.220
to keep their democracy vibrant and we're already telling you know people that the CCP has been sending
00:06:47.100
balloons equipped with a weapon system for military reconnaissance and even for bombing and right
00:06:53.820
now we have seen more than 23 CCP balloons surrounding Taiwan including you know dozens of fighter jets and
00:07:02.060
the warships now they're all surrounding Taiwan so I think that Taiwan is on the front line they're not
00:07:08.620
just voting for their own democracy but also preserving America's key interest in Indo-Pacific so and we're so
00:07:16.380
grateful that uh Warren sent uh Colonel John Mill on the ground and it shows great support for the uh
00:07:24.060
Warren Posse's in Taiwan because people in Taiwan are actually inspired by the Warren Posse they're
00:07:30.780
going to vote for the Taiwan first agenda just like people in this country voting for America first agenda
00:07:39.420
talk to me briefly before I go to Colonel Mills and uh and Dr. Thayer uh new federal state in China
00:07:45.180
I'm I'm so glad and we've got some still photographs I'll play the video later uh kind enough to go and meet um and
00:07:52.060
and meet Colonel Mills they're going to be our official translators and take him around this week
00:07:56.220
what is new federal state in in Taiwan has has it has it gotten traction with the Taiwanese people do they
00:08:01.580
understand that there are folks here in the United States that have their back and have Lao Bai Jing's back in this whole
00:08:06.540
concept of taking down the CCP absolutely you we have so many followers in Taiwan from the new federal
00:08:14.060
state of China and we have millions of fans of the war room they watch your show and they understand that
00:08:21.100
you know America first represents the also the interest of the Taiwan first and so that's why people
00:08:27.580
are so happy to see Colonel General Mills on the ground and to be part of this a very important uh
00:08:35.340
movement for the Taiwanese uh people let's go ahead and play I want to play this clip I was really it
00:08:42.380
came in late last night but it uh it said everything about the the the giving nature of the Chinese
00:08:48.460
people and uh the new federal state let's go ahead and play it as Colonel Mills arrived welcome to every
00:08:54.060
welcome everyone this is a great greeting to Taiwan we got a great uh new federal state of China uh
00:09:00.300
team here to meet me and it's just absolutely awesome we got uh Chris and Doug and everybody
00:09:06.700
thank you so much welcome to Taiwan you know this this just gave me a night Nicole I wish I wish we had
00:09:16.540
had new federal state have a greeting party for Joe Allen at CES I'd feel much more comfortable if we
00:09:22.780
had our uh Chinese brothers and sisters as the escort and translator for for Joe Allen because
00:09:28.380
him by himself in in Vegas I've got problems let me bring in Colonel Mills for a second Colonel that
00:09:33.900
was quite a greeting by the new federal state folks last night give me give me impressions of your first
00:09:39.100
day on the ground there oh thank you Steve uh absolutely awesome uh support from uh new federal state of
00:09:47.740
China couldn't do it without him um you know that's what these are these are these are the people on the
00:09:53.100
ground with blood sweat and equity in the game and it's just wonderful to be here I was just surprised
00:10:00.300
at the DPP rallies uh the energy level and it kind of broke several narratives because uh the narrative
00:10:08.700
was older people really were leading KMT but it was a lot it was very very uh uh wide diversity
00:10:17.580
at the DPP rally and uh lots of old people saying they want independence they used the word independence
00:10:24.380
I didn't prompt them for that they wanted uh and they didn't say many said we did easily uh 30 40
00:10:32.220
on the ground interviews just uh and the energy was intense and then people say we don't we don't need
00:10:36.860
to ask permission to be our own country we are already our own country so I think it broke several
00:10:43.740
narratives and the energy at the rally last night at Keelung was just uh incredible and that gentleman
00:10:49.900
Joseph is also running there's a number of Taiwanese Americans dual status who were flying back here to
00:10:57.020
vote I was just uh shocked at that number uh many came back here just to vote and and they want uh
00:11:04.380
they they want a new country uh that they don't want to have to ask permission for it
00:11:09.580
so it was just inspiring uh there's one candidate uh there was another rally we went to and his name
00:11:15.420
is is ready it's um Wang Yip Trump Yang Yip Trump he actually goes his last name's a little bit different
00:11:23.180
but he just his last name he's just absorbed uh Trump and uh we'll find that picture of uh it's just
00:11:30.140
awesome it's just the energy is there uh and we went to the election bureau very impressed with them
00:11:35.580
I'm an election official in my own county in Prince William very impressed with them I told him
00:11:40.220
and I've given testimony in several court cases I'm about to give more testimony uh as Taiwan is the
00:11:45.820
model for a transparent clear election is that do we know that or what's your confidence at the CCP
00:11:55.260
because they're going to try this election's everything for them this is really a referendum on
00:12:00.060
she I mean if they're to lose this if DPP wins um this is a huge loss of face for she isn't there
00:12:07.420
concern there in the country about people uh about the CCP being into the formal apparatus apparatus of
00:12:14.140
the uh of the election apparatus that they could try to steal this yes and there was one I think it's
00:12:21.580
clip 77 one individual who was there for the KMT might have been uh but they were from the for the
00:12:27.660
made from the mainland it was very interesting um it might be there was eyes and ears for the uh for
00:12:34.220
the mainland but yeah I I think that's a grave concern but uh they have a spirit of of honesty transparency
00:12:43.900
uh a void of graft and corruption graft and corruption is considered shameful uh not saying it
00:12:50.860
doesn't happen uh here but uh just kind of like Singapore they have a very negative view of that so uh
00:12:56.220
uh they try to be honest and transparent as opposed to 2020 where they came uh the Chinese were very
00:13:03.340
aggressive until Xi's comment of the last few days they were kind of playing quiet and playing rope-a-dope
00:13:09.580
to kind of just uh not bring up the issue Xi's over the over the top uh comments the other day
00:13:15.580
I think can only help the DPP let's get back I want to get back to these comments in a second let me bring
00:13:21.980
Dr. Thayer to join Nicole and Colonel Mills this doctor I want to go back and kind of set this
00:13:27.420
because for people who don't follow this they may come in and say they're kind of confused they say
00:13:31.740
well I don't know a lot about Chinese and in Taiwanese history but the KMT I thought was
00:13:37.260
Chiang Kai-shek and and Madame Shang's and they were supported by the United States and she was held up as
00:13:42.620
you know a a I think she was Christian and held up as a she made a number of tours of the United States and
00:13:47.660
was a a media star she's on the cover of Time Magazine and the DPP how did the Ko Meng Tang how
00:13:53.500
did the KMT get to be the pro-CCP party it's history and roots are that that's the nationalist army
00:14:00.860
under Chiang Kai-shek that actually withdrew uh from China and took over uh and came to uh at that time
00:14:06.940
I guess Formosa which became Taiwan how are we in a situation that this vote this week DPP which is
00:14:15.180
a pretty liberal or progressive party about its domestic policies how are they the anti-CCP
00:14:21.340
party and how's the nationalist party the pro-CCP party well the nationalist two points with respect
00:14:28.060
to the KMT uh party first you're exactly right that they were fiercely anti-communist as it was
00:14:34.940
Chiang Kai-shek's uh party when he fled to uh Formosa to Taiwan in 1949 uh when the communists won
00:14:44.540
uh uh the mainland uh but the first point is that uh there's still an element in the KMT that sees uh
00:14:54.060
uh and desires uh to have um uh control uh if you will over uh the mainland there's still a tie uh that's
00:15:04.300
present there and Steve you need to keep in mind of course as the audience does that the PRC never
00:15:10.380
controlled Taiwan right so the any talk of unification that Xi launches is absolutely
00:15:16.860
illegitimate PRC never controlled uh Taiwan whatsoever the second part well he uses the phrase hang on
00:15:24.300
hang on he uses this phrase that we have is propaganda he talks about reunification that
00:15:30.300
they're there for reunification there's no reunification since it's never been unified at
00:15:35.660
all it's never been a province of of China correct and certainly not under CCP role for about 200 years
00:15:43.580
under the Qing dynasty from about 1683 to 1895 when the Japanese uh took control uh of Formosa Taiwan uh when um
00:15:54.060
they defeated the uh the Chinese dynasty the Qing dynasty in the first Sino-Japanese war of 1894-1895.
00:16:01.660
The second key point though uh uh Steve is that uh there's infiltration of course uh remember Joseph
00:16:09.580
Wu the Taiwanese foreign minister gave that interview to Le Monde uh the French major French newspaper uh just
00:16:17.340
over a week ago where he said that um the uh PRC was interfering in the election and he identified four
00:16:26.140
ways that they were interfering in the election through cyber uh through infiltration through economic
00:16:33.500
pressures uh on these parties and then also through misinformation um and we should also include in that
00:16:40.780
deep fakes right there's a way that artificial intelligence and deep fakes might be added to that as well
00:16:46.700
so uh the PRC definitely favors the KMT uh and uh its uh election now the DPP on the other side of that
00:16:56.460
coin of course is the DPP have been far more independent right to seek um if not fully proclaiming
00:17:04.460
independence working to maintain uh Taiwan as a de facto as it is a de facto independent state uh and so from
00:17:14.540
the perspective of the United interests of the United States and those of us who are fighting uh the PRC
00:17:21.020
uh a DPP uh victory uh would certainly advance that would be a great uh a great victory in the war against
00:17:29.180
uh the PRC uh so but we want to keep in mind of course the uh PRC also is interested in chaos right as Lenin
00:17:40.060
said of Tsarist Russia right the worse the better the more confusion the more uh problems the more
00:17:46.460
doubts uh the better it was for the Bolsheviks uh for the communists there's an element of that here too
00:17:52.700
Steve right the PRC if it can't get what it wants uh which would be uh a KMT victory uh it would be to
00:18:02.780
have confusion doubt uh cast doubts on the legitimacy of the election right we need to keep in mind we're
00:18:10.060
on the run-up to the election the election is going to be on Saturday um January 13th and then there's going
00:18:15.820
to be the post-election phase where you're going to really fight a new war right where the uh PRC is
00:18:22.780
going to try new tricks coercive measures uh yeah what just to set the ground the we have a national
00:18:33.260
election for president and all the executive branch but there's also a legislative election also one of the
00:18:41.180
things PRC is trying to do is if they were to lose if they can't push KMT over the top and DPP wins and
00:18:47.660
even some coalition can't top them is to at least control some sort of either uh sizable minority or
00:18:54.700
even majority of the of the delegates of the legislature to then block to kind of have a standoff
00:19:01.740
where they can start to do these measures for their own defense isn't that one of the great concerns
00:19:05.900
here is that uh that i mean this is a complicated election there's tons of money going into it this
00:19:11.180
a very sophisticated electorate these people are well read they stay on top of the news the CCP is
00:19:16.060
using very advanced propaganda on this and also in addition to the tools you talked about but this
00:19:22.380
election is we have a legislative election too and we in war room we're not going to lose track of that
00:19:27.420
even pottinger i think pottinger is quoted the wall street journal one of the things that i've been
00:19:31.100
saying for a while that just DPP winning the presidency is just don't don't be patting yourself
00:19:36.700
on the back saturday night because you've got to make sure these legislative and as folks know
00:19:41.180
and this is why i keep saying about the chinese ruling themselves the taiwan legislature every now
00:19:45.980
and again will break out in a fistfight i mean these people are very they're very focused on democracy
00:19:51.420
right they have this is a this is like the old house of commons back you know 400 500 years ago
00:19:56.460
uh your thoughts about that dr thayer absolutely the the the legislative election is is another
00:20:02.780
piece of the puzzle and it's equally important uh and uh the prc's got its thumb on the scale
00:20:08.940
uh in that uh election uh as well so uh that's a very important element to keep in mind steve you also
00:20:16.700
want to bear uh we want to be cognizant too that the tools that they'll be employing uh and they are
00:20:23.260
employing in the in the the prc's employing against taiwan they're also going to do to us
00:20:29.260
uh in our presidential election so the same tools that wu identified but also the ai the deep fakes
00:20:36.860
as well as the cyber economic pressure um misinformation uh um and infiltration uh of course
00:20:45.100
are all tools that they'll be employing in our presidential yeah this is why this is why we got mills
00:20:52.140
over there with that intelligence background because this they're going to look at this as
00:20:55.180
a run-up of what they do nicole let me go to you for a minute correct me if i'm wrong but isn't even
00:21:00.860
this whole process a uh a loss for the ccp and for she because the argument they make because i asked
00:21:07.500
business executives and hedge fund people and other governments when i said how can you guys sit there
00:21:13.100
and we have one of the most ancient civilization that's given the world so much
00:21:17.180
with some of the best people in the world it's 1.4 billion and they're running a gulag and the
00:21:22.060
whole business community kind of looks the other way in business with them and what they say is that
00:21:26.220
oh well the chinese people are too emotional they're too immature uh they're not ready for democracy
00:21:32.780
they can't govern themselves you need a strong father figure like the ccp to do it isn't the intensity
00:21:39.100
of this election and quite frankly the sophistication we're seeing of how people approach this
00:21:43.900
isn't that in and of itself a major loss to xi because it takes away the lie that the chinese
00:21:49.580
people can't govern themselves you nail it and this is the reason why that since taiwan has its first
00:21:57.340
democratic election in 1996 the ccp has never stopped using military coercion and economical coercion
00:22:06.460
try to deter the taiwanese people from going out to vote and we know that hundreds of millions of
00:22:13.420
people inside china they're using the vpn to bypass the internet firewall to watch taiwanese
00:22:21.020
election and also i want to tell the war room posy that in 2020 taiwanese uh presidential election 75
00:22:29.500
the turnout is 75 percent compared with the u.s presidential election in 2020 which is 66
00:22:36.620
66 and that's how vibrant taiwanese uh democracy is and also i want to add that you know you uh you
00:22:44.220
you were talking about why there's so many people taiwanese american citizens in this country
00:22:50.140
are flying over to taiwan to vote i mean because in taiwan they don't accept a mail-in ballot people have to fly
00:22:59.420
to taiwan and to fly to their hometown and that all the votes will be counted by hand
00:23:06.380
and they don't use dominion you know voting machines and there was no j6 storming you know uh incidents
00:23:15.020
because you know that election process is fair and um is undisputable so i want uh uh uh you know make a
00:23:24.540
comment on that and also three weeks before the election day which is upcoming in five days beijing
00:23:31.020
has announced the cut on the tariff uh for the chemical imports from taiwan and that is a blatant
00:23:39.580
economical coercion because they're always targeting the taiwan businesses and agriculture business
00:23:47.980
which usually tend to support the dpp and then they're trying to drive the wedge between
00:23:54.540
uh the dpp supporters uh to the you know uh to the election because they will blame the dpp for
00:24:03.020
causing uh stagnant economy because you know beijing is going to cut you know practicing sanctions on
00:24:11.260
the taiwan imports so that is a typical way of uh ccp's playbook of uh interfering with the taiwanese election
00:24:19.420
well you know the great miles grow i remember miles in 2019 he said and this is a guy that i
00:24:26.540
never really quite trusted was terry glow uh the the businessman with the big uh with the apple he
00:24:31.980
does he did all the the basic nuts and bolts work for apple he was going to build this huge factory in
00:24:37.340
the united states it never came to fruition he said hey look that guy is totally dependent upon the ccp
00:24:42.380
for his business when he started to run i think he was running in the the komington primary he said
00:24:48.620
if this guy gets it it's going to be a total surrender to the ccp and of course we worked
00:24:53.420
with people in taiwan and made sure they were enlightened about the topics and uh terry guo lost
00:24:57.980
in that uh lost in that primary he didn't try to run again my point is that the ccp understands that this
00:25:05.180
is a big humiliation for them this shows you that the chinese people and intense debate i mean and i'll get
00:25:12.140
to we're gonna take a short break here and i'll come back to mills and the thayer uh the the the
00:25:16.940
debates where you know and people say well steve you guys blow it out of proportion they're really
00:25:21.340
not concerned that much for the ccp takeover they're really concerned about uh the economy uh freedom
00:25:27.900
this military situation they have to whether they have to pay for it or not the the concerns of people
00:25:33.820
throughout the world when they vote and i go well hold it that's a that's a victory for us we just want
00:25:39.260
we want these free elections we want people and we want to put to the lie that the chinese people
00:25:44.140
can't govern themselves it looks to me like the taiwan election is going to be pretty hard fought
00:25:48.540
pretty tough now i think that the the guys that that we support the dpp as i said we don't support
00:25:53.980
them all the way because there's a lot of the domestic policies that just are not kind of the
00:25:57.980
free market capitalism we like them i think they're much more progressive and certain social issues
00:26:02.860
but uh it's a robust debate i mean this is going to come down hard fought and you're going to have
00:26:07.580
horse trading there's a third party that's running that i'm sure guys going to be trying to cut deals
00:26:11.580
with this legislature is very important but that's democracy what you're seeing in taiwan right now is
00:26:17.580
a free people fighting for their own freedom and the consent of the government this puts to a lie
00:26:24.860
every businessman you talk to everybody talks to they look the other way and they look down the floor
00:26:28.380
oh well the the chinese people are too immature you know they need the strong hand of the ccp and i go
00:26:33.100
that's a bald-faced lie i said they've been selling that lie Mao Zedong Deng Xiaoping they've
00:26:37.900
been selling that lie for 70 years 80 years and it's convenient for the business community to to
00:26:43.180
accept it it's a total lie and you know where you prove the lie in taiwan we're going to return we

yeah and actually it's going to be in the john frederick's radio network also uh
00:34:23.100
nicole uh i i want to make sure before we leave you is that because you're going to be on every
00:34:28.300
night for our coverage here this election is so important it's so important not just for the people
00:34:33.580
in taiwan and not just for our brothers and sisters in lao baijing in mainland china for their
00:34:38.700
freedom it's important for the united states and for the entire world but i don't want to lose
00:34:43.580
fact which most people are just focusing on the presidential election critically important
00:34:47.980
obviously one of the reasons that they're but they're electing essentially for people in the
00:34:51.660
united states their congress at the same time it's a national election uh just give me a thought or two
00:34:58.620
about how important and particularly for the ccp that doesn't have democracy on mainland china
00:35:04.780
they know a lot about how to cause chaos in a democracy talk to us about the ccp's involvement in
00:35:09.260
these uh parliamentary elections absolutely um according to our whistleblowers from our china
00:35:16.300
sources xi jinping sent a special envoy to taiwan and trying to cut a deal between the two friendlier
00:35:25.660
to beijing party which is uh tpp and kmt guomindang trying to combine their votes to control the
00:35:35.180
legislative house and to defeat the dpp so that taiwan will have a divided government because they're
00:35:42.300
very sure they're pretty sure that they cannot uh defeat uh william lai you know from the you know
00:35:49.180
presidential race race because he's been leading all the polls uh william line so xi jinping is trying
00:35:56.140
to control the house and so that's why they're also trying to use the economic coercion to tell the
00:36:03.100
taiwanese people that only the kmt the warming town and the tpp can create economical prosperity for
00:36:11.500
the taiwanese people because the ccp will not place sanctions um taiwan imports from counties and from
00:36:19.660
businesses um that are supporting the kmt or the tpp and so that's why i urge the war room policy please
00:36:29.500
buy more taiwanese uh pineapple and made in taiwan products to support the taiwanese people's
00:36:36.460
economic independence uh from the ccp and also i urge the war room policy please ask your elected
00:36:43.340
officials to decouple from the ccp economically because economical engagement means economic
00:36:52.060
vulnerability and that's how they're going to control the house and control the the local politics
00:36:58.460
so that's why i think decoupling message is critically important for the u.s election as well
00:37:04.860
look look biden understands trump's tariffs the peter navarro that did them for trump's the tariffs
00:37:11.820
are staying on axios just broke that last week and the biden administration doesn't want to talk about
00:37:16.460
why it's creating jobs and opportunities in the united states and now it's one of the tips of the
00:37:21.020
spear of the decoupling which biden clearly doesn't want to do because he's owned by the ccp but for this
00:37:26.380
election he understands he's got to keep those tariffs up the ccp for not believing in democracy
00:37:32.380
they know exactly the buttons you have to push in elections about economics all elections at the end
00:37:37.260
of the day are local about economics they know they're very sophisticated about what they do
00:37:42.140
and this is why it's so important of what dr thayer and john mill said this is all a test case for what
00:37:48.220
they're going to do here in the united states to try to interfere in the 2024 election dr thayer before we
00:37:53.340
let you go talk to me one more time our coverage here is wall to wall on this the importance of
00:37:58.940
what's going to happen on saturday and how it would impact the rest of the year's elections throughout
00:38:03.660
the world including the european union for the european union's parliamentary elections and i think
00:38:08.060
in may or june and then in the presidential election this massively important presidential election in
00:38:13.180
november well taiwan really is starting a a year which is uh is going to have so many important
00:38:20.940
elections half the world population is going to vote there are elections in 60 countries uh including
00:38:26.860
of course taiwan but then also russia india the eu parliamentary elections uh steve that you mentioned
00:38:33.260
of course u.s presidential elections and uk very likely uk uh elections um either in the spring or uh in the
00:38:41.660
autumn so it's going to be a very dynamic year we're going to see a lot of change uh in uh international
00:38:48.300
politics but taiwan is starting it and taiwan is absolutely essential as the audience needs to
00:38:54.300
understand nicole stressed taiwan shows what china could be what the people's republic of china uh what
00:39:02.060
china could be if the communists had not come to power right it shows really how vibrant uh the chinese
00:39:08.940
people are and how they can leave uh live uh under uh democracy taiwan's also important uh because of
00:39:16.220
its economy right because not only is it very large economy but it's a world chip producing economy our
00:39:23.260
economy depends on taiwan's product their chips it's also thirdly really important because it's a key
00:39:32.220
geopolitical real estate taiwan bottles up uh chinese military power particularly when taiwan is wedded to
00:39:41.100
japan and the philippines backed by the u.s that's a big um a very important uh space that the u.s needs
00:39:49.100
uh to control and it can also offer key bases for u.s intelligence and allied intelligence and military
00:39:56.380
bases uh as well so these elections matter taiwan matters to all americans for those economic reasons the
00:40:04.220
political reasons and the military and geo geo strategic reasons first first of the ccp controlled
00:40:10.700
the advanced chip design of uh of taiwan you'd have a 25 impact in the american economy immediately
00:40:16.940
that's why one of the reasons they they want it for a whole number of reasons but they see the direct
00:40:21.260
impact uh colonel mills um want me to just the logistics spend a couple of minutes of how this is
00:40:27.980
going to roll out throughout the week you're there on the ground you got great support for the new
00:40:31.260
federal state we've got translators all of it uh just walk us through what people can look forward
00:40:35.660
to this week well there's going to be a number of rallies and assemblies uh shortly after this i'm
00:40:41.980
going to both the the dpp uh official press conference and the ministry of foreign affairs
00:40:47.980
press conference and then meeting with a colleague i used to work with over over here uh so that's what's
00:40:53.820
going to happen um on the 11th we're also it looks like we're going to be able to visit a tsmc plan
00:40:59.420
uh so that's uh we're really looking forward to that there's also going to go to that just for
00:41:05.420
folks folks let them know it's it's that's taiwan semiconductor so for you to go get a uh
00:41:11.020
a tour there is quite quite extraordinary yeah yeah 80 chance everybody has something with a taiwan
00:41:17.740
chip in it it's just something in the water when i was an official business over here i never could
00:41:22.460
figure it out they just are the they're the swiss clock makers and yeah they're good so then
00:41:28.780
saturday's the election and then you know saturday afternoon local we should have you know get this
00:41:34.860
they're actually gonna have the count and have it done and we'll know the outcome uh you know late
00:41:39.980
uh late saturday afternoon over here but nicole said something hey yeah go ahead go ahead well
00:41:47.180
nicole said something very important go to costco there's a lot of they make chips they make a lot
00:41:51.740
of pineapple products costco's taking a lot of heat for carrying a lot of taiwanese food products
00:41:57.420
hey go there and support them now i've given dj i've given costco some heat their general counsel
00:42:02.540
over them carrying the dji drone i'm hoping they're going to neck that off and stop that i think it's a
00:42:07.260
corporate liability but they do are very fair and they're carrying a lot of taiwanese product and it
00:42:13.180
really annoys china but uh now what's going on over here is a window into what they're going to do to
00:42:19.020
us in the fall and and one of the key things that's been mentioned here but is is tick tock tick tock is
00:42:24.940
their their psyop to and and and many many local citizens mentioned tick tock and it's toxic it's
00:42:31.900
cancerous and that's one of the things we got to get the biden team to to really uh terminate is the
00:42:37.580
presence of good luck it is digital fentanyl it's it's it's going to be a huge in this coming election
00:42:45.100
in the united states we're going to get on that uh what a great way to segue to brian costello brian
00:42:49.740
give the audience the bad news here i want to talk about the infiltration into our financial
00:42:54.540
system into into um things like the tick tocks things like a sequoia capital but really why
00:43:01.660
our politicians are being bought off and people are looking the other way there should be massive
00:43:05.900
investigations on this immediately you've done and colonel harvey done an incredible job
00:43:10.220
of exposing this where do we stand in all this yeah i couldn't have picked a better segue steve the uh
00:43:16.220
both tick tock and dgi are both funded by sequoia so um there was there was some huge news over the
00:43:23.260
break steve which uh speaks to exactly what you're talking about um i don't know if you covered this it
00:43:30.780
was uh released christmas weekend but uh the doj dropped the china bribery and public corruption charges
00:43:38.140
against spf and ftx uh which is which is astounding right and their excuse for dropping those was
00:43:45.740
well he's already going to jail for a long time this would prolong everything i will tell you right
00:43:50.300
now you don't execute uh a a bribe in china with just one person so he undoubtedly had co-conspirators
00:43:58.460
and you also don't become the largest public donor uh into washington uh without co-conspirators as well
00:44:05.340
as two so there's a lot of people getting off as part but hang on but hang on but hang on make sure i
00:44:10.300
want to make sure people don't use the jargon i want to make sure people this is sam bankman
00:44:14.860
freeman this is why we have you on today there was a massive case of money laundering and bribery and all
00:44:21.500
that dealing with the ccp directly to american politicians he was like the middleman that entire
00:44:28.460
doj which would never drop anything like this garland's doj dropped it they dropped it because they didn't
00:44:34.060
want the exposure of those people taking money through spf and uh and and probably by the the
00:44:40.220
ccp and just like sequoia capital 95 of it was going to democrats and quite frankly progressive
00:44:46.380
democrats where they gave a little bit of money to republicans do i think he had a partner that
00:44:50.780
shoveled a little bit of money to the republicans it's the same exact thing as sequoia capital
00:44:55.420
they give the bulk of the money maritz and these guys give the bulk of the money to progressive
00:44:58.940
democrats they throw enough to mccarthy into uh into into a couple of other guys in the republican
00:45:06.140
party to kind of buy their silence but most of it goes to progressive democrats this and we're
00:45:11.100
going to cause a firestorm of this a lot of guys in congress very upset about this this this uh this
00:45:16.620
actions uh only drop for now and i will tell you and let me put you on warning the day we take over
00:45:22.460
this investigation where the new attorney general is going to start again now our mission is to start it
00:45:26.940
now because this is one of the biggest scandals basically sbf just getting off for how he ripped
00:45:32.540
off his investors and all that nothing about the public corruption part of this and there's not a
00:45:37.740
chance in hell that doj would ever do this with anybody else this is outrageous they they take on
00:45:44.780
cases one millionth smaller than this brian costello yeah his mother his mother his mother right uh runs
00:45:53.420
mind the gap a big democratic uh uh uh donor pack you got maxine waters who's chairman of the house
00:46:01.180
financial services uh who's supposed to oversee the sec who looked at you the other way on ftx
00:46:08.060
blowing him kisses on video right i mean it's it's obscene steve but what what and and i don't know if uh
00:46:16.060
denver has this but i laid out what you're seeing very very clearly is a pattern of conduct with
00:46:22.380
biden and the department of justice where you have you know when he first came into office and this
00:46:28.460
is on my twitter if people can't see it when he first came into office they immediately uh dropped
00:46:34.380
the charges that trump had brought against xiaomi uh and put them off the military blacklist a big cell
00:46:41.100
phone maker i have good sources told me that the doj was handed information to keep that going and they
00:46:46.940
decided to drop it anyway you've got uh you know his special counsel slow walking biden corruption
00:46:54.140
charges at the doj you've got uh the uh the colonel brought up tick tock you know tick tock is supposed
00:47:02.460
to be under investigation for spying on journalists and i'll tell you right now steve if they can spy
00:47:07.660
through the device it wasn't just journalists there's very very heavy rumors that they're actually spying on
00:47:14.700
congressional offices uh using the same technology on the phone right you've got the doj and sec
00:47:22.620
dd lost billions of dollars went right when it went public and by the way dd was a prior biden investment
00:47:29.020
that there was a bunch of fraud allegations and even the democrats were asking them no investigation
00:47:34.620
you've got these ftx bribery charges dropped you've got obviously we've covered on the show sequoia
00:47:40.380
uh you know funding companies like dgi and tick tock and under congressional investigation by
00:47:46.940
gallagher and the ccp committee now that you got the nsc warning them and not not pursuing any
00:47:52.620
you know title 18 charges despite many of them being laid out and you have the end of the doj china
00:47:58.380
program like you can't you can't make this up it seems like you know you did a great job this morning
00:48:03.740
covering on the show uh the incompetence in the chain of command in the military it seems like the only
00:48:09.180
place we're confident in the administration is covering up for china then everybody's on the same
00:48:13.100
page hang on hang on this is this is my point this is not incompetence there's something deeply wrong
00:48:18.460
here it's obvious just like in taiwan this is why we're covering the taiwan election there you have
00:48:22.620
a free people that are fighting these monsters in beijing the ccp and there's infiltration everywhere
00:48:27.980
there's money being spurred over there and they're fighting back in the united states this is not
00:48:31.820
incompetence this is pattern recognition the official apparatus that goes after trump and goes after
00:48:38.620
maga and tries to go after the the abortion clinics for the people praying and from saying
00:48:42.940
the roses the ones that go to the catholic churches and say the domestic terrorists the ones up there
00:48:47.100
on on msmec and cnn every night weissman and these guys that we're the worst people in the world we're
00:48:52.140
domestic terrorists we're white nationalists we're christian nationalists they are purposely
00:48:58.380
shutting down investigations where doj and these other people understand that the financial community
00:49:03.420
the united states and the tech community are in business and partners in a money laundering operation
00:49:09.900
with the chinese communist party because everybody all those guys are making money
00:49:13.900
this is not incompetence this is absolute just like the invasion of the southern border is not
00:49:17.820
incompetence this which is an invasion of ccp dirty cash into this system is just as organized
00:49:25.820
as the invasion of the southern border brian we got to bounce you're doing an amazing job where to go
