this is what you're fighting for i mean every day you're out there what they're doing is blowing
00:00:14.840
people off if you continue to look the other way and shut up then the oppressors the authoritarians
00:00:22.580
get total control and total power because this is just like in arizona this is just like in georgia
00:00:28.360
it's another element that backs them into a quarter and shows their lies and misrepresentations
00:00:33.440
this is why this audience is going to have to get engaged as we've told you this is the fight
00:00:37.200
all this nonsense all this spin they can't handle the truth war room battleground here's your host
00:00:44.320
stephen k bannon war room battleground it's natalie g winters taking over i guess now the second hour
00:00:53.540
of the war room on today wednesday january 10th i don't know how steve does it for four hours a day
00:00:59.560
six days a week but i'm honored to work with someone who has the strength and capacity to do that i know
00:01:05.760
you guys love him and miss him too but don't go anywhere because we have a very packed show focusing
00:01:10.780
primarily on the upcoming taiwanese elections but through the lens of how that impacts the united
00:01:16.280
states and as bradley thayer has so brilliantly i think pointed out how they're really using what
00:01:22.780
is going on in taiwan the election there is sort of a trial run for chinese communist party influence
00:01:27.900
here in the united states so without further ado i thought it would be probably fitting to bring in
00:01:34.320
some real experts on the subject matter and that is of course the chinese communist party's mortal
00:01:38.840
enemy enemy number one is the new federal state of china and nicole who we love so much from the nfsc
00:01:45.920
to come on and sort of walk us through ahead of these elections what we should be on the lookout for now i know
00:01:52.120
there's been a lot of reporting on fighter jet intimidation campaigns and balloons being flown
00:01:57.860
we obviously have our own experience with chinese spy balloons here in the united states but if you
00:02:02.440
want to walk the audience through what this military intimidation is looking like in taiwan
00:02:06.260
i'm sure they'd appreciate it well thank you so much for having me on it's so great to be with you
00:02:12.560
so yes the taiwan presidential election is only two days away and this is a very pivotal
00:02:17.660
presidential election because taiwan is in a very important note in the indo-pacific region that
00:02:26.720
matters most to the u.s national interest if we lose taiwan like how hong kong is lost to the ccp
00:02:33.400
then we lose the entire indo-pacific u.s national security in that region so taiwan's bat is very
00:02:41.840
important battleground and so it matters a lot not only because taiwan is silicon valley number two i
00:02:49.440
mean it provides our vital you know chips for our industry in this country but also taiwan is the most
00:02:57.280
vibrant democracy in that region i mean this year more than 19.5 million taiwanese people have registered
00:03:05.660
to vote and in the last taiwanese um u.s uh presidential election the turnout is 75 compared
00:03:13.740
with our u.s election in 2020 turnout only at 66 percent so that's why the ccp has been you know doing
00:03:23.100
the saber rattling economic coercion and trying to influence the outcome of this taiwan election
00:03:29.900
they definitely want the pro-beijing parties uh to succeed and that is the kmt kuomintang and the tpp
00:03:37.980
the you know which is a smaller but also uh pro-beijing party and the leading candidate willem lai or
00:03:45.500
lai chingde from the dpp uh has been leading the poll all the way and he's most detested by the ccp
00:03:53.420
so it would be very interesting to watch how how this election is going to turn out but definitely
00:03:59.580
the ccp uh has not spared any effort um to to uh with the election uh interference you well know with
00:04:09.180
the ccp's you know three warfares doctrine that lawfare is a key component of that and your movement has
00:04:15.500
faced that head on um but i'm i'm just curious to the alternative ways sort of the unrestricted
00:04:22.540
warfare approach to how the chinese communist party is coming after taiwan particularly on on
00:04:28.780
the economic front um i know you were explaining to me how they're banning taiwanese imports sort
00:04:34.220
of going after them from a financial and lawfare perspective could you sort of talk about that but
00:04:40.540
also how you think that this could potentially be used against the united states or other countries
00:04:45.580
sort of as a dry run for a more global application of this absolutely great question you know
00:04:53.180
interestingly uh communist china is taiwan's largest trading partner it is also the most
00:05:00.380
existential threat to taiwan's national security and the last uh taiwanese president ma ying jo from the kmt
00:05:09.260
while he was in the um in uh um as the taiwanese president he deepened taiwan's economic ties
00:05:18.860
with the communist china so that's why uh you know taiwan's economy is wholly dependent on the ccp so
00:05:28.140
so this is the reason why that we have been urging the us to decouple from the ccp because if we're placing
00:05:35.500
our essential um you know supply chain and pharmaceutical and many important industries
00:05:43.020
in in the hands of the ccp then they can use the economic coercion try to influence our political
00:05:50.300
uh position and that's exactly what the ccp is doing to taiwan for example just two weeks ago um the ccp
00:05:58.140
the ccp announced the cuts of the tariff um you know um the the trade tariffs on taiwan's chemical
00:06:07.180
products and a couple of years ago we know that the ccp banned the taiwanese pineapple and other food and
00:06:15.260
agricultural product but they're only targeting the counties and uh businesses that are pro the dpp
00:06:22.780
dpp so for example if you are uh you know a county within taiwan that supports the dpp or have been
00:06:31.660
showing strong support uh for for the dpp then any products agricultural products coming from this
00:06:39.260
county will be banned or face uh terrorists high tariffs uh in beijing and but if you are pro ccp
00:06:46.860
then from that you know any agricultural product from that region will you know what will not have
00:06:53.740
to face the punitive trade policies and that's a message that beijing is trying to send to the
00:06:59.740
taiwanese voters that uh if you are friendlier to beijing then you will have economic prosperity if you
00:07:08.540
are not friendlier with the ccp then you will face punishment and so that's exactly that we see very
00:07:15.580
similar things uh happening uh to the u.s and that's why so many wall street companies and corporate
00:07:22.940
americas they've been kowtowing to ccp for the exact same reason and people remember john cena and houston
00:07:30.380
rockets and jamie diamond and ridalio from um you know from the uh bridgewater these people have been
00:07:38.780
you know publicly apologizing to beijing uh for either supporting the hong kong protesters or saying
00:07:46.620
that taiwan is an independent nation or saying that something you know something critical of the ccp
00:07:53.420
so everything that you know happens to taiwan that we can see some similarities here in the united states
00:08:02.940
now nicole you know a lot of my reporting is focused on chinese communist party infiltration
00:08:07.420
here in the united states but that is something that is not unique to what's going on on here i
00:08:12.060
know they're doing it in taiwan too so can you talk to the audience a little bit about what it looks
00:08:17.100
like these foreign influence operations from the politician perspective in other words these
00:08:21.900
influence campaigns whether it's you know money or honey pots however they they do it how is that
00:08:27.340
influencing uh the election and just politics more broadly there absolutely i think natalie the reason
00:08:35.100
why you got so many followers uh from our movement because you're probably um the only person that i
00:08:41.420
know who actually dig deep into the foreign filing the foreign foreign registration act you know this is
00:08:49.340
uh the the this act was introduced by congress in 1938 to fight nazi germans the propaganda and
00:08:57.100
influence paddling on the u.s soil but very few few people actually you know uh research and did very deep
00:09:04.540
research into the filing and a lot of your investigative reporting exposed how the ccp has infiltrated
00:09:13.500
in the u.s politics in business and they have not been held accountable for the far violation for
00:09:21.340
for example i remember you did an excellent investigative reporting showing that the mainstream media in this
00:09:27.980
country ranging from the new york times and cnn and the wall street journal and msnbc these people they
00:09:35.980
are they're sending their uh editors and reporters are going to china all being paid by the ccp and that's
00:09:44.380
exactly what the ccp is doing to the taiwanese local politicians in order to win the legislative
00:09:51.500
race the ccp has recently paid up to 600 local politicians from taiwan to visit china and uh of
00:10:01.260
course you know nothing is provided for free you know they want something in return which is they're
00:10:07.180
you know being opinion leader they want this uh beijing want these local politicians to influence their
00:10:13.900
local uh you know voters to vote for the pro-beijing parties and another example is that there's a
00:10:21.340
a legislative candidate her name is ma zhiwei this woman has been found of taking tens of thousands
00:10:29.660
of dollars uh from beijing and even given important intel to the ccp about this election so this person
00:10:37.980
has has been detained by the taiwanese government and so these are some things that we already know from
00:10:44.620
the media but i'm sure um the depth and the breadth of the ccp's unrestricted um infiltration in the
00:10:52.700
taiwanese uh local politics is probably beyond measure and last question before i uh i let you go
00:11:02.300
obviously we hate tick tock here in the war room none of us are are on it it's a psyop run by the chinese
00:11:08.220
communist party but how has that social media platform and maybe some others been really leveraged
00:11:13.580
and weaponized to allow the chinese communist party to influence the election there or just the
00:11:18.780
prevailing discourse on on whatever the issue is absolutely great question again i mean the
00:11:26.860
disinformation campaign in taiwan um you know launched by the ccp is very similar to what we're
00:11:33.100
seeing in this country on the u.s soil for example in taiwan there are over 5 million tiktok users and
00:11:40.940
that's a lot of people and most of these tiktok users are younger generation they're young people
00:11:48.060
in their 20s and these people uh they have been indoctrinated and brainwashed by the ccp's
00:11:54.300
disinformation campaign on tiktok and it's just like in this country so many young people have been you
00:12:01.100
know brainwashed or influenced by the anti-semitism spread by the tiktok users and also the leading
00:12:10.780
uh the presidential candidate koen jay from the tpp he's very pro-beijing and he wants reunification
00:12:20.060
with the ccp i mean this person has 1.6 million followers on tiktok and so i think the social media
00:12:30.220
platform has been instrumental uh to the ccp's disinformation campaign so i worry that things are
00:12:38.620
happening to taiwan's uh presidential election is happening to the u.s upcoming uh you know
00:12:47.180
presidential election because the ccp's playbook is pretty much the same
00:12:53.820
i uh i think i i was the one that had broken the story that the the founder of tiktok he admitted that
00:12:59.580
they created the app to quote promote socialist core values and foster devotion to the chinese
00:13:06.140
communist party and i think that is exactly what we're seeing play out in real time nicole thank
00:13:11.020
you so much for joining us if people want to follow you get in touch with the new federal state of china
00:13:15.420
movement where can they go to do all of that yes absolutely and um before you let me go i want to add
00:13:23.180
another thing about the honey pot you know because the ccp is very good at uh corrupting the politicians
00:13:29.900
and when these politicians or businessmen travel to china and they will send you know sex bribes and
00:13:36.780
put everything on tape and according to our whistleblowers and this is exactly when why the former
00:13:43.900
taiwanese president ma ying jo is uh is spreading the beijing's disinformation propaganda because he
00:13:51.660
definitely has some tapes being held in ccp's hands so you can follow us on nfsc speak um x formerly known
00:13:59.740
as twitter or nfsc speak sound gather and thank you so much for having me today of course thank you
00:14:06.300
so much for joining us thank you now our next guest is dr bradley thayer who is always writing wonderful
00:14:15.180
commentary for the war room.org website and always doing so much more but i wanted to kind of take a
00:14:20.540
step back because i think the uh the war room posse the kind of nationalist populist movement has maybe
00:14:26.940
you know a bad memory a bad taste in the mouth when we start to talk about other countries than
00:14:32.940
our own right when we focus on the borders or you know geopolitical situation of you know taiwan and
00:14:38.860
maybe it's the the ukraine syndrome right um i think there's a there's a distinction between what's
00:14:43.660
going on in ukraine and taiwan of course but in your opinion and maybe i'm wrong on this but can you
00:14:49.100
explain to to the audience why you think that taiwan matters to the united states but from an america
00:14:57.500
first perspective if you think that is the case well hi natalie it's great to to be with you again
00:15:05.260
so it certainly matters taiwan matters to the united states and to this audience
00:15:11.100
uh for four major reasons the first of which is that uh taiwan is the world's leading chip producer
00:15:20.540
so our economy is heavily dependent of course on those chips uh and um if anything were to interfere
00:15:28.140
with it with chip production of course which would happen if uh china invades uh taiwan uh that would
00:15:36.380
have a very significant impact uh on a u.s economy which is already stressed due to the so many other
00:15:44.140
problems that it has with respect to inflation or illegal immigration and uh the stresses that are
00:15:50.220
being introduced uh by the biden administration the second reason why it matters is because taiwan
00:15:56.940
occupies critical geo-strategic real estate uh in conjunction with japan and the philippines taiwan
00:16:04.540
occupies space that serves to bottle up uh the people's republic of china's aggression its ability
00:16:11.340
to access uh the pacific ocean uh so having taiwan uh as a partner of the united states is absolutely
00:16:20.620
essential third reason why it matters is because taiwan can also be used as a base uh by uh the united
00:16:29.340
states intelligence communities of course in the military uh and other actors to project power
00:16:35.660
against uh against the people's republic of china and then fourthly it matters because in the realm of
00:16:42.700
political warfare you're very attuned to this natalie of course that taiwan is significant for two major
00:16:49.980
reasons one of which it shows what china should be that taiwan is a vibrant democracy with a flourishing
00:16:57.580
economy uh and um that has a long tradition of course now of of uh elections um and competitive
00:17:05.980
political parties democratic institutions all of that shows uh that china could have those elements as
00:17:14.140
well if the communists had not come to power in 1949 and taken china in a very dark uh and uh a terrible
00:17:23.580
uh direction uh direction so it matters firstly in political warfare because it shows what uh china
00:17:30.700
might be could have been and at some point might be again if the ccp were over overthrown the second
00:17:38.860
reason why taiwan matters is because the taiwanese have great knowledge about what's happening within
00:17:45.180
um uh within china uh and so uh the taiwanese can offer great help and assistance in
00:17:53.180
identifying themes uh cleavages uh in um the people's republic of china's uh society that can be
00:18:01.900
exploited through political warfare uh to undermine um the chinese communist party so all of those
00:18:10.620
reasons means taiwan is a critical partner of the united states our economy is heavily dependent on it
00:18:17.420
in the war against the people's republic of china taiwan is a critical partner and the taiwanese have
00:18:24.700
critical advice to give us and insights to provide about how to cut the head off the snake which is how to
00:18:31.820
overthrow the chinese communist party and remove that threat existential threat from the united states and
00:18:40.860
from uh the american people election integrity perspective that we should look at what's going
00:18:50.860
on in taiwan since the chinese communist party is obviously so intent on influencing those election
00:18:55.660
results i think you said at first but it's sort of a trial run for what they could potentially try to
00:19:00.860
do here in the united states yes so um joseph wu with the the taiwanese foreign minister at the beginning of the
00:19:10.620
the year said that uh uh the uh ccp's interfering in the taiwanese election no surprise there and he
00:19:18.620
identified mechanisms through uh essentially cyber means that they're going to be doing as secondly as
00:19:25.020
nicole mentioned right traditions of bribery uh interference when nicole mentioned the 600 local
00:19:31.660
officials uh who were invited uh to china uh of course those are ways to buy influence um within
00:19:41.100
china um and then there are coercive measures for example the satellite launch airplanes for example
00:19:47.900
all of that signaling uh the taiwanese people that um communist china is looking at them very very
00:19:55.180
closely and wants to put the thumb on the scale uh for uh their favorite candidates but all of this is a
00:20:02.620
trial run um for the united states for november uh 2024 in our u.s presidential election because there are
00:20:12.060
other mechanisms that joseph who didn't mention um that can be employed as well uh we're worried about
00:20:18.220
of course the employment of artificial intelligence and deep fakes uh in that regard we're also worried
00:20:24.300
about uh the uh tens of thousands no one really knows how many um chinese uh uh uh men of military age
00:20:35.020
very likely mss agents or uh pla uh agents or or um people's police or other uh authorities are coming into
00:20:44.220
the united states those individuals of course uh could be a fifth column they could be used to um conduct
00:20:51.340
election interference operations uh and so that provides muscle really for the chinese communist
00:20:57.820
party on the ground within the united states uh to undermine uh our elections other tools as well
00:21:05.420
xi jinping's embraced by the 400 individuals uh business leaders uh who came uh in san francisco
00:21:13.500
in the san francis in the bay area uh who welcomed him at that unseemly and appalling meeting
00:21:19.260
that they had in mid-november that's a key aspect of election interference too what he's signaling is
00:21:25.420
to those leaders business leaders have tremendous influence of course on congress elsewhere in
00:21:30.300
washington of course with the administration and with the society at large um they're interfering in
00:21:37.260
the election uh by conveying their support xi jinping and xi jinping is saying to those 400 that hey he
00:21:44.060
wants to ensure that uh if you will a pro-engagement candidate wins that would be biden or gavin newsom
00:21:51.740
or michelle obama uh clearly uh as opposed to trump uh who of course xi jinping does not want to have
00:22:00.220
elected so we can see that there are many uh mechanisms that the um prc can use to interfere in
00:22:07.500
our election and taiwan is a test case for that some are very old-fashioned like bribery uh business
00:22:15.260
influence for example all of that is is quite well known others are perhaps more on the cutting edge
00:22:22.620
when we're looking at how artificial intelligence can be deployed as well and then also something we
00:22:28.940
have not had in american elections where there is a fifth column uh physically interfering in the
00:22:34.620
electoral process um providing muscle uh for the prc to get behind their favorite candidates uh so
00:22:42.300
it's going to be obviously as um war room has stressed time and again 2024 is a critical election
00:22:49.580
year uh but it's going to be affected not just by what the democrats do uh but also by what uh and
00:22:56.540
how the people's republic of china interferes uh in the election before i let you go you had a
00:23:03.580
wonderful piece up i think it was an american greatness um that had to do with kind of the
00:23:08.380
chinese military how they're maybe projecting weakness when that actually wasn't the case i'm
00:23:12.940
sure sun tzu would be uh would be very proud um but if you want to walk the audience a little bit uh
00:23:17.740
through that i'm sure they'd appreciate it and then i'll i'll let you go
00:23:22.460
oh well thank you yes i wrote that with uh with jim finnell uh of course and um the piece was making the
00:23:29.340
following argument that uh there is uh there has been recently a lot of attention paid purportedly
00:23:35.820
to the weakness of xi jinping uh and uh his lack of control or perhaps tenuous control over the chinese
00:23:43.900
military there have been a series of news reports natalie of course you're very familiar with those in
00:23:49.580
terms of recent firings um that have been done in uh by um senior military uh officials there have been
00:23:58.140
news reports about for example how chinese nuclear capabilities are not what they are but uh there's
00:24:04.060
corruption uh in um for example their intercontinental ballistic missile force uh and how that's been
00:24:11.660
manipulated um jim and i think that that's not accurate that in fact uh as you said at the outset
00:24:18.380
introducing it that it is uh an aspect of conveying weakness when in fact they're very strong in terms
00:24:24.220
of their growing conventional power and in terms of their tremendous growth in their nuclear arsenal
00:24:31.100
and nuclear infrastructure the ability to produce nuclear weapons at a large scale and the ability
00:24:36.700
to deploy those on new systems at a strategic range able to reach the u.s or in a theater range
00:24:43.740
in asia against india for example or our allies australia the philippines japan or even at a tactical
00:24:51.260
level against for example of the u.s navy uh so we made that argument additionally we said that um
00:24:59.020
a very interesting development has occurred and that is that there is now an admiral who is the which
00:25:04.140
uh uh the chinese defense minister uh and that is an indication uh of xi's control actually his ability
00:25:13.660
uh to not pick a general which traditionally had been a chinese defense minister to reach out uh to pick
00:25:20.220
a naval officer an admiral uh to serve as a defense minister and that's an indication of um the uh
00:25:29.420
growing importance of maritime power moving away from land power uh of course which is still
00:25:36.140
significant of course for china but showing that um the chinese military has also greatly expanded its
00:25:42.540
maritime presence its ability to project power using its navy and coast guard and affiliated uh forces
00:25:50.220
and it shows also works in tandem of course with its growing nuclear capabilities uh as i mentioned
00:25:57.260

00:30:24.700
to our money in our bank accounts first think back to 9-11 shortly after the government pushed
00:30:29.980
through the patriot act this gave the government power to spy on innocent americans by monitoring
00:30:35.580
our phone and email and tracking our movement across the internet now jim records editor of the
00:30:41.660
independent financial newsletter strategic intelligence and new york times best-selling author
00:30:46.860
is warning about a coming event that could elevate this governmental surveillance to a terrifying new level
00:30:53.020
in fact some of the guests i've had on the war room believe that the government will soon
00:30:57.340
expand their powers to track our every move if we say the wrong things on social media donate to the
00:31:03.980
wrong causes buy firearms or even vote maga the government may be able to shut us out of our bank
00:31:10.380
accounts i can't say for sure if this will happen but it's an interesting and dire warning fortunately
00:31:17.420
jim rickertz an american patriot and friend of mine has made it his mission to educate us on
00:31:22.460
what he believes is coming and how to protect yourself from the possibility of programmable
00:31:29.020
money watch jim's warning video now before it's censored like i've been in the past go to
00:31:35.340

we'll be back tomorrow and you also don't have to worry because we have i think one of the uh
00:32:00.620
the best and most prepared war room guests to come on very shortly that is of course colonel john
00:32:07.740
mills who always brings the best charts and graphs he knows i i love them very much
00:32:13.020
um so john you're one of those those guests where i feel like i don't really even have to ask you a
00:32:17.740
question because you're always so prepared so tell us what we need to know about you know
00:32:22.700
these upcoming elections and feel free to take it as your own play the videos show us the graphs the
00:32:28.620
clips it's the floor is yours oh thank you uh natalie it's always an honor to be on the show with you
00:32:35.580
and uh it's morning time in taipei taiwan uh hey logan let's start with clip 141 please
00:32:45.020
to you because that was being repeated in ukraine or this is the repetition of what's happening in
00:32:51.100
ukraine and you can see the news link of this uh that's a report uh by taiwan and then another thing
00:33:00.060
uh it's about the tsmc investment in arizona you know this is a big uh so stop let's go to the still
00:33:11.420
picture of the missile alert yeah so this was a press conference by uh joseph wu the foreign minister
00:33:20.700
and then a short time later we got interrupted by this missile alert that caused a bit of pandemonium in
00:33:26.220
the room um so let's go to the next picture of the air tracks around taiwan that picture of the map
00:33:32.620
of taiwan and all the colorful lines around taiwan that's the most yeah so this was uh the person next
00:33:43.420
to me was a brit who was from a spanish radio station in beijing and he didn't get the alert and
00:33:50.300
was a bit panicked and wondering why he didn't get the alert uh well we'll talk about that so i
00:33:55.020
actually brought this question up at the press conference with uh mr wu and they actually were
00:33:59.980
so interested they came over directly to me and they called upon uh this is the war room and uh world
00:34:06.860
worldview uh television you know uh me representing both and they they wanted to they called on me over
00:34:13.020
some of these other players such as uh the the new york times etc etc and they came up want to talk
00:34:18.780
about this afterwards this is the air track of the enduring high altitude law uh long endurance drones
00:34:26.060
that are continually circling taiwan and i brought these up as one it's a military message two uh it
00:34:33.260
is uh information warfare cognitive warfare which mr wu and mr lai and shao bai kim the vice presidential
00:34:40.700
candidate went into and i said so it's a military message it's a it's intimidation it's coercion which is
00:34:46.780
illegal uh per u.s law uh it's also uh cognitive warfare it's also a safety of flight issue and
00:34:54.300
this is an exact reason why taiwan should be let back into international bodies such as icao the
00:35:00.460
international civil airline organization i had to fly through this and you know okay is my uh my
00:35:05.900
airliner going to bump into one of these uh long dwell drones that can be armed these these drones do
00:35:10.940
have the capability arms so this is an absolute coercion intimidation and a message of an ability to
00:35:17.020
envelop taiwan let's go to clip uh 53 please amy there
00:35:26.700
all right everyone this is curl rat john in uh new taipei city and i got a somebody here named amy and amy
00:35:36.220
where do you live at actually los angeles california so the taiwan city of los angeles california so you
00:35:44.380
came back here to vote is that correct i came back just for the vote because i feel the urgency this time
00:35:51.500
and i never really voted here before so if i could ask you which candidate are you voting for
00:35:59.340
oh you mean here yes the green party of course that is absolutely awesome amy thank you so much
00:36:09.900

00:36:37.580
rally been to several the dpp is essentially make taiwan great again let's go to 178 with peter
00:36:45.420
this is colonel red john we're at the tpp rally uh with peter so peter what brought you to the rally
00:36:52.540
tonight okay very good so he's a fan of the tpp and ko uh so uh so peter what was what is the biggest
00:37:11.580
issue for the election in your mind this is the biggest issue for the election in your mind
00:37:28.940
she want to um i want to to to to have a change because before in taiwan it was just only two
00:37:36.380
parties go against each other yeah i want to break this situation okay so peter would like to see
00:37:43.820
uh yeah there was a lot of fighting between the other two parties and so he'd like to see a new
00:37:47.900
party come in and change the dynamic so peter what about taiwan and china clip 167
00:37:58.780
again we're at the kmt rally this is han ko yu speaking right now he was a former presidential
00:38:04.780
candidate he was the mayor of kaosheng he lost in the 2020 election but he's out campaigning for the kmt
00:38:16.620
okay let's go to clip one of uh the one uh oh my gosh i can't see it there uh the wang yi trump one
00:38:24.540
that's clip 158 150 yes this is this is team tyrone this is the dpp party
00:38:41.980
you're gonna probably see a picture there he is there he is
00:38:57.100
okay great great so it shows a diversity of the different candidates so green team of taiwan
00:39:03.340
that's the dpp that's william william lye and shao bai kim they have a very close they want a close
00:39:10.300
relationship with america and they're very populist out of the three parties they are definitely the
00:39:15.020
populist party they want to be a sovereign i mean they they feel they are already a sovereign
00:39:20.540
independent nation they don't need to ask permission of anybody especially that big uh thuggish country
00:39:25.900
to the left and uh they say so so they are we're already our own country and uh he also uh uh doctor we
00:39:33.900
also mentioned the uh uh tsmc chips again so important to our economy now we we have a special
00:39:40.620
visit this afternoon we're going to a tsmc chip plant i mean taiwan is just kind of like the the
00:39:45.820
little swiss uh watchmaker why are they so good at watches in switzerland who knows but i mean same
00:39:50.860
with chips taiwan is just the world's best chip maker and i spent some time over here when i was in
00:39:56.780
dod and uh uh couldn't it was hard to explain they just get it right and they nail it uh when it comes
00:40:02.700
to chip manufacturing which is a very very complex and expensive process and you got to get everything
00:40:08.220
you got to get those jigs and casts and dies set up i mean it's big money you got to get it set up
00:40:13.740
right and correct and once it's right and correct you start champ stamping out those chips you've got
00:40:18.700
to get it right it's very expensive process and they get it right um yet hanko at the kmt that's the legacy
00:40:26.060
goming dong cheng kai-shek party and uh not that we're being partisan anyway it's a big snooze
00:40:32.460
at those uh not not big gatherings hanko is totally in the pocket of the ccp and he was the candidate
00:40:40.060
from last uh in 2020 and the taiwanese very effectively uh in january or excuse me december
00:40:47.580
of 19 november december of 2019 they passed a law really quickly forbade and they called it the
00:40:54.780
anti-infiltration law um that forbade the taking of money of foreign money and they arrested a bunch of
00:41:00.860
dirty kmt hanko was the was the candidate back then uh um president sai one and uh was very good totally
00:41:09.580
shut down the the chinese influence operations they've already had almost 200 arrests under the
00:41:15.660
anti-infiltration law in fact that that gentleman at the nighttime outside rally um the tpp they kind of
00:41:23.660
they kind of are the centrist party we don't want to see fighting between you know the kmt and the dpt
00:41:31.420
uh but they most of them say they want to be independent well if they want to be independent
00:41:36.380
join the dpp why why are you want to be in the tpp um but um um hanko is is is is he still has a lot of
00:41:44.780
power and uh you know the numbers uh uh it's unclear because there's about a 10-day uh silence
00:41:52.460
window on numbers and polling uh it looks like lions in the lead the question of that's the that's
00:42:00.220
the green candidate for the dpp the populist party uh and uh so we uh we're we're coming down to the
00:42:07.820
election on this saturday here the question is really the legislature it's pretty pretty sure
00:42:13.020
not for sure we can't say for sure but it's leaning toward live for the presidency the question is the
00:42:19.100
the national assembly the legislative you want who's is that gonna who's gonna dominate there
00:42:23.820
because if it's split uh that could be a little bit of trouble so natalie that's an overview of all
00:42:29.500
the actions and activities over here so far well thank you so much for that extremely thorough
00:42:36.620
overview seriously that was that was wonderful i'm sure the audience appreciated that i have one
00:42:41.100
question uh for you before i let you go because you sort of just did everything you laid it all
00:42:46.700
out for us you can't get that in the mainstream media um but we were talking with dr bradley thayer
00:42:51.500
in the previous segment about how we think some of these foreign influence options that they're using
00:42:56.940
to infiltrate and influence these elections that it's sort of like a test run or a trial run for
00:43:01.100
how the ccp could potentially influence the elections here in the united states i'm just curious your
00:43:06.140
perspective on that and the center of gravity of the chinese influence operation in america is
00:43:12.700
definitely going to be tick tock and you notice the blue team in america the biden team they've
00:43:17.420
been very hesitant now it's odd they do allow tick tock uh in taiwan however uh with my experience with
00:43:26.220
the uh taiwan ministry of national defense and the taiwan cyber security agency the taiwan
00:43:32.780
SERP community computer emergency response team they are very good at bleeping and uh uh uh deleting
00:43:43.340
tick tock videos that are that are clearly influence activities and they and they didn't mention that
00:43:48.460
specific aspect but i just uh i know they're very good at that here so they're good at throttling the uh
00:43:55.180
the the the ones that are clearly shameless uh influence that's gonna be the tip of the spear in america is
00:44:01.740
tick tock this is why the blue team in america just declines to uh they might go after they might cut
00:44:08.220
off chips from the mainland uh they might keep trump trade tariffs but they just drag their feet on this
00:44:14.940
tick tock issue and so that's going to be the tip of the spear for chinese influence of the american
00:44:20.700
election in november colonel mills if people want to really get your wonderful analysis get the i think
00:44:27.980
it's substack or the email where can they go to do all that at colonel ret john substack getter and
00:44:35.340
truth colonel ret john at substack you'll just stop you'll say stop stop sending me things i'm getting
00:44:41.420
i'm drowning in all this incredible material so colonel ret john substack getter and truth i'm also on

for joining us natalie thank you always an honor to be on your on your show with you thank you thank you
00:45:15.180
almost as much of an honor as being on with steve no i'm just still being so self-deprecating
00:45:21.420
um our next guest chris uh you are joining us i i think you have some some more to contribute to
00:45:28.060
the the discussion of what's going on in taiwan hi thank you so much for joining us so i'm just curious
00:45:34.460
where do you think the current state of affairs lies what do you want to tell the american people
00:45:39.500
about what we need to know ahead of these elections hi hi everyone um i'm my name is chris i'm a
00:45:49.980
taiwanese patriot and patron and a member of mfsc um i think the people need to know is that taiwan uh is uh
00:46:05.260
uh a love uh a country that love freedom democracy rule of law and human rights we share the same value as
00:46:14.460
americans and um like if we look at uh recently uh our uh former president mind joe's speech
00:46:26.140
that that was a terrible speech and mind joe is a nightmare uh for the taiwan people like we firmly
00:46:36.700
oppose mind joe because he is a total sellout and then kmt is a sellout and then the tpp leader
00:46:47.980
kewen zhe is also a sellout too his his uh the mind joe's speech uh yesterday um it was uh it doesn't
00:47:00.620
represent taiwan represent taiwan or any of the people in taiwan he only represent xi jinping and then
00:47:09.820
uh back in times that the registrator uh controlled under kmt and mind joe blocked the arms sales between
00:47:22.380
the usa and taiwan for uh six nine times and then like during uh mind joe's interview he criticized
00:47:33.980
speaker pelosi and other usa officials who supported taiwan so as a taiwanese we urge the usa government
00:47:44.220
to support taiwan's sovereignty we do not want war we want the world to keep taiwan straight safe taiwan
00:47:54.860
has never caused any damage to the world taiwan is not a problem but a part of a solution to the world
00:48:02.700
as taiwanese we want like our next president to defend taiwan's sovereignty and democracy we don't want
00:48:13.260
what happened in hong kong to repeat again in taiwan we want the international community to support taiwan's
00:48:22.860
national defense and economic economic prosperity so uh like taiwan can uh work with the rest of the world
00:48:35.820
keep to keep uh the the world safe and we can help the world together to take down the ccp too so that's
00:48:44.940
what i would like to that everyone know today and i'm just curious you know you're obviously talking
00:48:53.180
to a bunch of american patriots here in the war room um what would you tell them as a cautionary tale
00:49:00.380
either anecdotally or more broadly but what it looks like when the chinese communist party infiltrates
00:49:06.860
your country takes over you know even personal stories what does that look like and why should
00:49:12.700
americans i mean not that they don't know but but why should we really justifiably be so scared of a
00:49:18.220
potential ccp invasion or takeover or continued infiltration in taiwan and here at home
00:49:24.220
well like american people need to uh be careful of the ccp is that what ccp touches it turns into
00:49:39.180
something really bad like if you uh remember what happened after ccp took china there was a cultural
00:49:49.020
revolution and all the massacres so um and also if you see what uh ccp do to the country who joined the
00:50:01.820
one bill one road they they don't get better like they when they work with ccp they only get worse
00:50:10.460
and we see recently that ccp has infiltrated uh the whole world uh also they infiltrate america
00:50:18.860
we see like how uh how things changed in america but people are fighting so we should keep out the
00:50:28.380
fight and we should push uh ccp away uh we should oppose ccp and we should like uh don't give money to
00:50:37.900
a ccp like listen to the advice from new federal state of china and then
00:50:44.700
ccp and unite on this issue of taking down the ccp yeah chris thank you so much i have apparently a
00:50:59.260
bunch of sunlight coming in but thank you so much for joining us i know the warren posse loves to hear
00:51:03.180
the kind of boots on the ground perspective what it's really like if people want to follow you the
00:51:07.900
new federal state of china movement where can they go to do all that oh i'm i'm now in the taiwan farm
00:51:15.580
it's a part of the new federal state of china and in taiwan farm we have lots of uh members and we
00:51:23.820
we do online and offline online we uh we post on gather and uh we post on uh genius and uh offline we
00:51:37.100
promote uh getter and genius and then we spread the truth to the world so uh just thank you thank
00:51:46.060
you so much for joining us i'm sure the posse will love to follow you there thank you so much for
00:51:50.220
joining us and warren posse thank you so much for hanging with me you guys know we don't want the
00:51:54.620
chinese communist party to infiltrate us any more than they already have that's why we got to support
00:51:58.860
the parallel and alternative economy which is of course epitomized by public square you got to check it
00:52:03.900
out either if you're a business owner like myself you can go to shop she's so right dot co or if
00:52:08.540
