00:00:55.840 French leaders said Europe has no interest in accelerating the crisis over Taiwan,

00:01:03.820 which is seen as a rogue province by Beijing. His words come amid Chinese military drills around

00:01:09.780 the island, sparked by the Taiwanese president's meeting with the U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy

00:01:15.100 in California last week. The standoff at Taiwan Island is occurring right now. And a lot of people

00:01:22.960 asking what's going on. They're saying Poso, is this real? Is this a huge thing? Are we going to

00:01:27.240 war? Is it World War III? As President Trump posted on Truth Social? Well, let's walk through.

00:01:34.020 Currently, there are multiple aircraft carrier groups operating off of the east coast of Taiwan

00:01:41.480 Island. In addition to this, we're seeing the Taiwanese Navy and the Chinese Navy standing off

00:01:47.560 against each other. This may be the most tense moment that we've seen between mainland China and

00:01:56.100 the island of Taiwan since back in the 1950s. They were actually firing shells at each other back when

00:02:02.720 Chiang Kai-shek was running the place. In 1996, in response to Taiwan's first ever presidential election,

00:02:10.140 they fired ballistic missiles. But people need to realize that prior to the 19, from even in the 1990s

00:02:17.740 and before, China didn't have a Navy to be able to have any of these options available to them

00:02:25.120 vis-a-vis Thailand Island. So they didn't have any ability to really try anything other than ballistic 0.81

00:02:32.300 missiles, shelling, this sort of thing. There weren't any other options available. That's why

00:02:39.060 the most likely scenario that you would see is not necessarily this amphibian. And by the way,

00:02:46.440 so many people, so many of these cold warriors in the United States, in media, and in the Pentagon,

00:02:53.920 they haven't actually updated their thinking to understand what China would do in a Taiwan scenario.

00:03:00.660 They don't need to invade the island. They don't need to bomb the island. You know what they can do?

00:03:07.840 They can starve out the island. They can enact a military blockade of Taiwan. And I've been saying 0.90

00:03:14.100 this since the China files. And even before that, they can go in and set up a blockade.

00:03:23.320 85% of Taiwan's energy, their food, it's imported. So what are you going to do when the hospitals

00:03:33.580 in Taipei, the hospitals in Kaohsiung don't have any energy? What happens when people can't eat?

00:03:42.820 What happens when the United States tries to resupply? It's not like Ukraine. Ukraine is 17 times 0.53

00:03:49.000 larger and has a backdoor into Poland, Hungary. You don't have that here. They essentially share a

00:03:58.200 border, right? And that's called the Taiwan Strait. When they say they essentially share a border,

00:04:03.960 it's because they're just that close, folks. They're just that close. The United States,

00:04:10.460 thousands and thousands of miles away, along with Japan and Korea. So you don't have this ability

00:04:17.700 to enact rapid resupply like we do with Ukraine. At the end of the day, folks, this situation could be

00:04:26.920 completely have averted if the United States under the Biden administration had not outsourced their

00:04:34.940 foreign policy to psychopaths like Victoria Nuland who belong behind bars. People that go in looking for a 0.98

00:04:45.180 fight, looking to exacerbate tensions, looking for regime change operations like in Ukraine, looking

00:04:51.180 to cause wars to take place. That's what we don't need. What we need is a peacemaker. What we need are

00:05:01.080 people that don't want or seek war with countries like China or Russia. Do we want to deal with them?

00:05:08.480 Yes, we want to deal with them economically. And that's why when Emmanuel Macron went to China this

00:05:14.500 weekend, what did he say? What did he specifically say when he was over there in Beijing? Emmanuel Macron

00:05:19.660 said that we cannot allow Europe to be dependent on America anymore. Well, funny, because that's 0.64

00:05:27.440 similar to what President Trump used to say about NATO and NATO spending. But here's the part that

00:05:32.720 Macron's leaving off. Europe is becoming economically dependent on China. Russia is already economically

00:05:41.200 dependent on China to an extent because they need China to get around the financial sanctions the

00:05:46.740 United States and the rest of the West put on them. When you don't hear anyone talking about the economic

00:05:53.200 element of the relationship between the CCP, Taiwan, and the rest of the world, because this is the dowry.

00:06:02.820 The CCP wants to be the senior partner in globalism, in the globalist system. And what's their dowry?

00:06:11.920 What are they asking for in return? Taiwan doesn't mean they need it overnight, but they want to

00:06:17.720 assimilate it slowly, gradually, and then suddenly, just like they did with Hong Kong. All you need to do

00:06:25.480 is look at Hong Kong and you will see the exact strategy that they want to employ with Taiwan.

00:06:31.160 Xi Jinping would love to have that on his resume. But at the same time, he knows that it's not in

00:06:36.860 China's best interest to go to a kinetic war with the United States or with the U.S. ally like Taiwan. 0.83

00:06:42.800 So what do you do? You go around to the rest of the world the same way you have been since 1979,

00:06:49.000 when the United States, under the Carter administration, switched diplomatic recognition

00:06:54.600 of China from Taipei to Beijing. It's only been since 1979 since we've done this. Why do we do

00:07:02.340 so? Economic reasons. What happened 10 years later, Tiananmen Square. What happened after that? What

00:07:07.320 happened 10 years after Tiananmen Square? China is brought into the World Trade Organization.

00:07:13.860 Just understand, folks, this is all being done by design. There are people who are making billions and

00:07:20.280 billions of dollars off of this, and it's being done to turn the people of the world, the people

00:07:26.200 of Western Europe, Canada, and eventually America into Chinese serfs. Now, a lot of people complain

00:07:33.840 about the state of our country or the way woke corporations treat us and their employees, but it's

00:07:38.620 not enough to complain. We need to change the way the marketplace works, and that starts with you and

00:08:30.220 I know this is a really stressful time.

00:08:33.340 Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!

00:08:36.960 Footage of Daniel Perry's police interview after he killed Garrett Foster was played in the courtroom during

00:08:42.600 his murder trial. Former Austin police homicide detective David Fugate was the one to conduct

00:08:49.720 the interview with Perry. In it, Detective Fugate had Perry demonstrate how Foster carried his rifle.

00:08:55.080 How wide did that barrel come up? We have a power barrel right there.

00:08:57.800 Okay. Was it aimed at you?

00:08:59.800 Was it aimed at you? I believe it was aimed at. I believe it was going aimed at me. I didn't

00:09:05.860 want him to give him a chance to aim at me, you know?

00:09:07.960 And then what Perry did while he was sitting in the driver's seat.

00:09:12.920 Is that quick? Yeah. It's a big kind of restaurant. I don't want to get shot, sir.

00:09:20.300 Daniel Perry in Austin, Texas. Convicted of murder last week by an Austin, Texas jury

00:09:32.320 and a George Soros-backed prosecutor. What was the situation? He was surrounded by a mob of BLM 0.77

00:09:45.080 rioters in Austin, Texas while driving down a public road. One of them approached him with

00:09:52.300 an AK-47 at low ready surrounding his car while people beat on his car.

00:10:03.140 When he saw that one of the rioters had an AK-47 and that it was pointed at him when his

00:10:11.140 vehicle at low ready pulled out his handgun and fired five shots, he claimed that he was acting

00:10:20.880 in self-defense. However, there were text messages and Facebook messages given as evidence at this

00:10:31.640 trial that he had said in the past that he wanted to kill protesters, that he thought he might have to

00:10:40.820 kill protesters on his way to work. Well, you know, who had that, who said that kind of stuff in 2020?

00:10:48.280 Everybody, literally everybody, because let's go through what happened in the summer of 2020.

00:10:53.520 Again, every major city in America experienced violent riots and in blue states and many other states,

00:11:02.880 those riots were not put down effectively by the state governors. Of course, this was just a few

00:11:15.080 weeks before the events of Kenosha and Kyle Rittenhouse. Armed left-wing rioters marching through

00:11:23.680 the streets of town with the intent to burn everything down. Now, I saw some people saying,

00:11:31.060 well, you know, these guys have the second amendment too. And other people saying, well,

00:11:35.320 you know, that's their right. And who am I to say, are you really so politically brain dead? 0.83

00:11:41.680 Do you not have any type of sense of survival? Do you know what is going to happen if people like

00:11:50.720 that are put into power? Do you know what's going to happen if you don't stop these riots?

00:11:55.640 Do you know what's going to happen if you allow people, if you allow people like Garrett Foster,

00:12:04.220 another anti-government, anti-establishment, anti-America

00:12:07.800 militants to get power?

00:12:12.780 You will see American Bolshevism across this country. And there'll be people who say, well,

00:12:20.700 hold on, post it. Wait, wait, wait, that Garrett Foster was actually a boogaloo guy. And so he's, 0.67

00:12:25.740 you know, technically he's pro second amendment and he was a veteran himself and he's marching with

00:12:31.020 BLM rioters. Shut up. I don't care. You, we're not talking about the specifics of his beliefs. 1.00

00:12:39.340 We're talking about the broader picture of what's going on. That's why, and I'm proud that

00:12:45.480 conservatives banded together to demand that governor Greg Abbott issue a pardon of Daniel

00:12:52.880 Perry. In this case, governor Abbott has said that he will following a recommendation by the pardon

00:12:59.120 review board. This is a, this is a, so in Texas, they have a different system than they do in other

00:13:04.800 states. Some States it's like the president. You can just unilaterally, the governor signs a pardon,

00:13:09.180 they're pardoned in other States, uh, like Pennsylvania. For example, I'm more familiar with

00:13:14.540 X. I'm from Pennsylvania. I know the Lieutenant governor plays a role. Dan Patrick's Lieutenant

00:13:18.220 governor in Texas. If that's the situation, fine, do what you have to do. Get the recommendation

00:13:23.820 on governor Abbott's desk and pardon this man immediately because this sends a message

00:13:30.260 to the armed left-wing militants in this country that you cannot block traffic, riot through

00:13:39.300 our streets, carry guns and do so carry guns with the intent to hurt people and do so with

00:13:47.760 imputing. And I know some people are going to say, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Poso hold on a second

00:13:52.360 here. Hold on. What about Kyle Rittenhouse? Didn't Kyle Rittenhouse carry a gun? And wasn't

00:14:01.360 he out there on the night of protests himself in Kenosha? And didn't you support Kyle Rittenhouse

00:14:07.880 when he shot those mobsters? Here's the difference. Garrett Foster was on the side of the anarchists.

00:14:18.680 He was on the side of the rioters. He was on the, he was a participant in what was going

00:14:24.820 on. A participant that's different from someone like Kyle Rittenhouse who did not go out seeking

00:14:31.060 a fight. He went out to protect a car lot. One that incidentally was owned by Indian immigrants 0.98

00:14:40.440 who later smoked a lot of ganja, went up on the stand and lied about it. Even though there

00:14:46.460 were pictures and videos of Kyle with them prior to the shooting where they had obviously shown that

00:14:53.640 they wanted the security there folks, it's time to understand what time it is in this country.

00:15:03.120 American Bolsheviks are trying to take over. Are you going to be on the side that says we need to 0.91

00:15:10.360 use political power like in Tennessee to evict and eject American Bolsheviks from power and block 0.95

00:15:21.900 them from destroying this country? Or are you going to roll over and take it? It's a simple question.

00:15:28.100 On the heels of the second largest bank failure in U.S. history, an interest rate hike after interest

00:15:33.700 rate hike within the last year, 186 more banks are at risk of collapsing and your bank could be next

00:15:41.160 unless the Fed does what they did back in March and print another $300 billion out of thin air,

00:16:42.660 investigating whether former President Donald Trump illegally paid hush money to cover up an

00:16:47.140 affair. On March 23rd, this video with more than 2 million views was posted that appears to show

00:16:53.080 Bragg announcing he's dropping the case. After an extensive, thorough investigation has decided to drop

00:16:59.040 all charges against Donald Trump. The phrase, Trump charges dropped, then became a trending Google

00:17:05.660 search. So, let's verify. Is the video of District Attorney Alvin Bragg saying Trump's charges were

00:17:12.500 dropped real? Our sources are the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, a statement by former President

00:17:18.380 Trump, and New York University's School of Law. The viral video was originally posted by conservative

00:17:24.860 commentator Jack Posobiec. He has a history of producing satirical deepfake videos that manipulate

00:17:30.500 the audio to change what the subject is saying. We did reverse video and image search and found the

00:17:35.820 original video was actually posted more than a year ago, in January 2022. Bragg was part of a panel at

00:17:42.100 NYU discussing his recent election and plans for office. He never talked about the investigation into

00:17:47.440 President Trump. In both videos, Bragg is wearing the same outfit and the background is the same.

00:17:52.920 However, in the fake clip, the audio and limp movements don't match what he's saying.

00:17:57.600 It was my dream to be an attorney, to stand for the law and put criminals behind bars.

00:18:03.320 Also, on the same day that Posobiec posted the video, Trump sent his supporters a newsletter saying

00:18:08.240 the case hadn't been dropped and there's no announcement about the indictment on the DA's website.

00:18:13.380 So, no. The video of District Attorney Alvin Bragg saying Trump's charges were dropped is not real.

00:18:20.220 The case is still being reviewed by a grand jury.

00:18:22.660 Well, Easter Sunday has come and gone. I had a great Easter. Did you have a nice Easter?

00:18:27.740 Well, I had a wonderful Easter. Family was abound. We went back up to the Philadelphia area,

00:18:33.580 to my hometown. It was great. Did Latin mass. And then just as I was going to bed,

00:18:41.880 I saw that apparently Salon.com had run a massive profile of me posting it up to their Twitter

00:18:54.740 account saying, Posobiec is not looking to strike nuanced positions. In response to Trump's indictment,

00:19:02.900 he vowed to go after the prosecutor and has called for a coordinated MAGA attack to bring down the

00:19:10.200 American financial system. It's like, yeah, yeah, it did actually. Conservative influencer Jack Posobiec

00:19:19.460 read his so-called book to kids on a weekday morning in DC, but why? So, all right, what happened

00:19:27.060 at the book reading, this was the Brave Books reading that was done myself, Kirk Cameron, Sean Spicer,

00:19:33.160 Haya Reichik from Lives of TikTok was the creator of Lives of TikTok was there.

00:19:37.280 And we knew there were a bunch of lefty journos and some Antifa types in the crowd.

00:19:42.240 And we said, do we want to kick them out? I said, let them stay. Let them stay. I'm not worried

00:19:46.500 about them. In fact, I'll read you some more excerpts of this hit piece on me. It's so long,

00:19:51.760 but I mean, it, the whole thing, I'm like, Salon, are you trying to date me? Because this doesn't

00:19:57.680 necessarily seem like a hit piece. This seems kind of like a puff piece. Jack Posobiec didn't seem

00:20:04.500 concerned. The conservative influencer, a celebrity, was wearing a white button-down

00:20:10.760 shirt against a dark suit jacket. Squatting forward, he looked unnaturally bulky at the

00:20:15.860 shoulders and hips. His frame swallowed up in his crouch so that the first thing you noticed

00:20:20.860 was the sharp horn of hair gelled with great care above his high cresting forehead. For the record,

00:20:27.580 I do not use hair gel. I don't use shampoo. This is like water that I use. Shampoo is a scam. I hope

00:20:35.980 everybody knows that. And I also think it's interesting that they're going full phrenology

00:20:39.920 on me. His high cresting forehead. I'm glad I don't have a sloping forehead salon. Would you guys

00:20:46.060 have had an issue with that? I don't know. Posobiec read from his book for just over 10 minutes to the

00:20:54.940 parents and children in the room. The hyenas were there and helping them, he said, once again,

00:21:02.280 looking past the families assembled in front of him as if past props and standims toward the real

00:21:10.260 audience, the millions behind the camera lens who would experience the event solely from the

00:21:16.780 material he was providing. Because hyenas are communists too. For the record, I was talking to the

00:21:23.420 kids and the kids had a great time. We talked about ice cream mostly because the book is called

00:21:27.480 The Island of Free Ice Cream and it's all about not believing wolves when they tell you they've got

00:21:32.760 islands of free ice cream. He has a platform that most American politicians would envy. The Guardian's

00:21:40.680 Washington Bureau, Chief David Smith wrote in March and could help decide the Republican presidential

00:21:46.760 primary race in 2024. He taught himself to play guitar. He joined a band called The China Syndrome.

00:21:54.520 He was a fan of David Bowie. At one point in his life, his next move took him halfway around the world

00:21:59.780 to Shanghai, where he worked for the American Chamber of Commerce. While abroad, he played a minor role as a

00:22:05.720 street plug in the 2008 martial arts film Forbidden Kingdom. He decided to join the Navy. He went to boot camp

00:22:12.140 and scored so well in the aptitude test that he qualified for intelligence service and was sent on

00:22:16.840 a 10-month deployment to the prison at Guantanamo Bay, where he worked closely with detainees.

00:22:23.100 I mean, like, are you, are you, sorry, happily married to Tanya Day here. He was wearing black

00:22:31.300 sunglasses and his blue suit jacket with the collar of his shirt open. Imagine being the kind of nerd

00:22:37.780 that sent to something like this. And you can't understand why conservatives are popular,

00:22:44.480 why we're popular, why this show is popular, why this movement is popular, because we're sick of 0.99

00:22:50.920 nerds and losers and shut-ins like you guys. Salon.com, you need to stop employing these pro-groomer 0.98

00:23:00.860 journalists. And you need to actually talk to somebody who understands what's really going on in the

00:23:06.940 world. You could pick me up and call me on the phone. You could call me and say, you actually

00:23:10.800 wanted to chat. I'll do that. I talk to people all the time from that side of the way. No, we don't

00:23:17.300 talk to as people who lie about me. First of all, I wasn't the guitarist for the China syndrome. I was

00:23:21.480 the basis. I mean, just little things. Also, they mentioned again and again about, they said,

00:23:27.880 turnout wasn't what they expected. Yeah. Maybe that's because it was three days after one of your

00:23:32.640 transgender killers had just targeted a Christian school down in Nashville. And you were calling for 0.80

00:23:39.580 a trans day of vengeance in Washington, DC that very week. Do you remember that? Do you remember 0.99
