00:00:00.000 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

00:01:01.800 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
00:02:44.860 our unite my daughter she wants the IRS she can't buy a house either so it's not the problem it's not the 1.00

00:03:36.460 right here so you heard it first on war room thank you Joseph okay
00:03:41.500 you're gonna be shocked over the next couple weeks it's Monday 8 uh 8 January year of 2024 we're
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 1.00
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 1.00
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 0.84
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 0.99
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 0.99
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 0.94
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 0.56
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 1.00
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 1.00
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 0.97
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 0.79
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 0.90
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 0.60
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 0.99
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 0.76
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 1.00
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 1.00
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

00:34:17.660 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 0.98
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 1.00
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 0.99
00:36:43.340 officials to decouple from the ccp economically because economical engagement means economic 1.00
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 1.00
00:37:26.380 election he understands he's got to keep those tariffs up the ccp for not believing in democracy 0.99
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 0.94
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 0.99
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 0.99
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 0.99
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

00:48:03.740 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 0.99

00:48:22.620 a free people that are fighting these monsters in beijing the ccp and there's infiltration everywhere 0.98
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

00:49:09.900 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
