00:04:15.260
cutting walt the founder out of disney but they are also cutting america out
00:04:21.760
the america that we all grew up in the america that we thought we knew is gone but it's only on hold
00:04:34.240
and it's on hold because it is in each of us those of us who lived it who know its truth to know its

00:04:51.900

00:05:01.320
in a closet for a while and it is our job to open that door and take it back out of the closet
00:05:09.540
it's only on hiatus if we choose otherwise it is gone
00:05:17.840
i have spoken about the holocaust for a very very long time and i've been called a nazi propagandist
00:05:29.180
i've been uh i've been called all kinds of things because i support israel i support the jews and i
00:05:39.040
really truly believe in never forget never forget and that means something more than just telling
00:05:49.300
the story holocaust happened killed six million jews blah blah blah no never forget means never forget
00:05:56.720
what what led to that insanity so you can stop it
00:06:02.140
vera vera sheriff was three years old when her world collapsed this is from the epic times
00:06:12.980
she and her family were chased out of romania and herded into a concentration camp in ukraine during
00:06:19.380
world war ii there they were left to wait and starve she said the cloud of death was always there
00:06:27.860
weekly a list determined who would be sent where and whether it would be death or a slave labor camp
00:06:34.340
while at the camp she said her father died of typhus when she was five which was widespread throughout
00:06:41.020
the camps because of cold and malnutrition after three years at that camp waiting she was rescued in
00:06:47.820
1944 she said my mother got wind of a few orphans that would be transferred and transported out of the
00:06:55.800
camp so she lied and said that i was an orphan to save my life and that's how i wound up leaving
00:07:02.840
this began what she calls her odyssey as a child without parents left to her own intuition and critical
00:07:11.640
assessment of others intentions she said i had to assess at a very young age who i could trust to take
00:07:18.780
care of me she was on a train at the port of uh constanta in romania where there were three boats
00:07:29.420
waiting to take groups of people to palestine she befriended a family however on arrival she found
00:07:35.980
herself assigned to a boat with other orphan children that would separate her from the family
00:07:41.240
with whom she thought she could trust so she rebelled no matter what i could not be convinced
00:07:47.700
to get on that boat and miraculously in the end they gave in to me seasick she fell asleep that night
00:07:54.280
only to wake up to find out that the boat with all of the orphans had been torpedoed by who she said
00:08:01.000
she found out decades later to have been the russians though she carried guilt for having survived she was
00:08:07.500
grateful that she resisted because that resistance kept her alive i do not obey authority and it saved my
00:08:16.200
life she's now speaking out she said these memories of the concentration camp and what she went through
00:08:25.600
returned in 2020 during the web of covid 19 restrictions that spun out of control with the
00:08:32.940
help of media propaganda she said so now i'm quoting when people are obeying authority mindlessly and
00:08:40.660
giving up their rights to make decisions about their own lives and what goes into their own bodies i think
00:08:46.800
back to that time she's now a medical activist and founder of the alliance for human research protection
00:08:54.300
it's a network of lay people and professionals who work to uphold humanitarian values and ethical
00:09:00.640
standards established in the hippocratic oath the nuremberg code and the universal declaration on
00:09:08.060
bioethics and human rights most importantly she just joined scott scare up a co-founder of amazing
00:09:15.140
graces light shines on corporation she said both of them see the parallels now between the national
00:09:23.800
socialist regime in germany and the current medical directives being carried out in the united
00:09:29.780
states through government funding before i go on i want to tell you i played walt disney because that's
00:09:38.640
who we are that's who we can be that's who we once were but we are in danger of it forever slipping
00:09:49.880
through our fingers if we don't recognize times have changed and you're not living in the same country
00:10:01.780
since the death of of his 19 year old daughter grace in a hospital in 2021 and he again is the co-founder of
00:10:13.800
our amazing grace's light um his daughter died in a hospital in 2021 after having been injected with
00:10:21.100
a combination of drugs that he found out later was part of a federal hospital protocol he said what's
00:10:27.940
happening is genocide he's been crusading to tell his daughter's story the network with others that have
00:10:34.880
had similar experiences while bringing attention to the protocols that he believes amounted to the murder
00:10:41.080
of his daughter who had down syndrome under the nazi regime he said medicine was weaponized as it is
00:10:48.360
being today though the jews were the primary target she said the first medically murdered victims were
00:10:56.120
disabled german infants and children under the age of three most people don't know this but mangla who
00:11:02.960
was the book butcher of auschwitz he was the guy who did all of the evil experiments on people
00:11:09.880
he was actually the head of the children's hospital in germany in the mercury museum i have the last
00:11:20.280
prescription that he wrote at the children's hospital and it is for a massive amount of the drug
00:11:29.780
that they were using to kill the children in the hospital
00:11:33.960
this expanded into the operation titled t4 for the street address of the program's central office in
00:11:43.580
berlin for all of the disabled of all ages ages and the mentally ill and senior citizens because as
00:11:50.940
she points out the nazis called them worthless eaters t4 was a concerted effort to rid
00:11:58.120
what their propaganda called the economic burden
00:12:01.980
shara pointed out to 2021 medicare trustee report
00:12:06.860
she said have you read it it evaluates the cost of keeping the elderly and disabled
00:12:13.260
federally funded 39 percent of the federal budget goes to those two groups right now
00:12:20.340
which is 2.2 trillion dollars a year on page 11 of the report
00:12:26.580
there's a call for a substantial change to address the financial challenges
00:12:32.460
quote the sooner solutions are enacted the more flexible and gradual they can be the report says
00:12:39.340
for her the implement implication is while not overtly stated a call for eugenics that was
00:12:48.460
supported by the academic elites in early u.s history and later adopted by the nazis
00:12:53.580
10 years after he took power hitler launched his genocide program that had been introduced in
00:13:00.040
incremental steps with the help of propaganda portraying the regime as heroes what happened
00:13:06.340
to grace and what happened to many disabled and elderly in western europe australia canada the united
00:13:12.820
states in march and april of 2020 was medical murder genocide isn't new to the united states you should
00:13:21.500
know this we started it here we started these programs to kill and sterilize the disabled here in america
00:13:32.580
the nazis took it from us so don't think that it couldn't happen here u.s supreme court oliver
00:13:41.060
wendell holmes voted in favor 8-1 majority opinion in the 29 uh sorry the 1921 case of buck versus bell
00:13:49.340
which upheld the virginia sterilization act of 24 the forced sterilization of carrie buck
00:13:55.880
who was alleged to be mentally defective holmes said it would be better to prevent the mentally
00:14:02.140
disabled from being born than allow them to sap the strength of the state or let them starve for their
00:14:09.380
imbecility the principle that sustains compulsory vaccines is broad enough to cover cutting the fallopian
00:14:18.420
tubes the justice wrote in his opinion three generations of imbeciles are enough
00:14:24.460
unfortunately she was never actually mentally disabled arguments for eugenics were always built
00:14:33.500
on a lie she said but it is an ideology that continues to poison the public health policies
00:14:39.620
she says she's very familiar with the banality of evil and it makes mass murder possible by making
00:14:53.580
it a bureaucratic routine that is handed down as orders through the chain of command to the person
00:14:58.180
who pulls the switch or gives the injection no one ever called it murder the nazis were very adept at
00:15:04.060
propaganda and language and the jews were called spreaders of disease not unlike the epithets
00:15:10.520
thrown at those who didn't take the jab in 2021
00:15:14.360
the unvaccinated it was called the pandemic of the unvaccinated the whole language was dehumanizing
00:15:24.440
to cut to the chase here doctors encourage the mother to get amniocentesis tests if the test so
00:15:35.380
shows that a down syndrome or another disability would complicate the parent's life they encourage
00:15:41.940
abortion there's an unholy union when medicine gets in bed with the government and the hippocratic
00:15:48.660
oath goes through the window do no harm look at what big pharma is now doing to children look at
00:15:56.000
what's happening with the gender reassignment surgeries
00:15:59.760
she says she's concerned with the elite ruling class that is godless believing only
00:16:12.160
we should not fall into the trap to the false light that satan will eventually ride in
00:16:20.060
to steal more souls god's true light protects those who believe we the people need to reclaim the
00:16:27.440
sovereignty by learning to trust in intuition experience and the ability to assess lies from the truth
00:16:36.200
that's the problem stop watching mainstream media they're all reading from the same script
00:16:43.760
they're bombarding people with fear mongering which is exactly the same thing the nazis did
00:16:49.640
and how they controlled the population through fear have no fear
00:16:55.000
and if i may quote our holocaust survivor america resist wake up
00:17:08.100
this is the best of the glenn beck program and we really want to thank you for listening
00:17:16.820
because this is such a critical um event that could go sideways quickly and china doesn't
00:17:35.440
seem to be the kind of uh management if you will that bluffs an awful lot and they are using stronger
00:17:44.480
language than they've ever used with any of our allies about this visit to taiwan
00:17:50.760
can you explain what the heck is happening yeah well let me do my best in the sense that it's hard
00:18:00.420
to predict the future and it's hard to predict chinese leadership and the actions that they might
00:18:05.160
take it's a very very difficult intelligence target i i think though glenn i agree with you as as high as
00:18:12.260
tensions might be and and despite the actions that uh chinese leadership is taking in the bluster
00:18:18.660
again i agree with you i think it's unlikely that we're at war with china in the next you know short
00:18:24.840
period of time and and part of the reason for that is china doesn't need to be provoked for an excuse to
00:18:31.440
take taiwan i think they will do that at a time of their choosing when they're ready it's pretty clear
00:18:36.920
yeah it's pretty clear that's that's her intention and they've made that very clear and again i don't
00:18:42.400
okay so hang on just a second with that chris um when when you look when you say that and you're
00:18:47.500
looking at that um let's uh let's let's take it here china went in and took hong kong when they were
00:18:59.340
ready and the world was distracted and they came in easily and just took hong kong freedom squashed
00:19:06.180
i think that's the kind of opportunity that china would be looking for for taiwan just take it when
00:19:12.540
nobody's watching um and the world can't do anything and that time will come they also don't have the
00:19:19.540
landing crafts at this point if i understand this correctly i have seen that china doesn't have the
00:19:25.700
landing crafts that would be uh needed to take an island like taiwan but that is on the horizon
00:19:33.320
but let me balance this now with the other side china's economy is collapsing they have people that
00:19:40.980
are in the streets now defying tanks at the bank of china so china may need a distraction and a reason
00:19:50.280
to rally all of the people to take their attention off the financial trouble is that fair to say that
00:19:58.680
that's what makes this really kind of an unknown yeah yeah i think everything you've said is true
00:20:05.580
and i agree with everything that you said and i think your point on hong kong is so important and
00:20:09.880
has to be elaborated on i mean glenn i remember you and i talking about remember when hong kong had
00:20:16.440
millions of people protesting in the streets uh one weekend they had more than three million protesters
00:20:23.300
out of a nation of six million people half the people were protesting and during that time we had
00:20:29.300
something like 35 000 chinese security forces now they called them policemen and and and civilians but
00:20:36.460
they weren't they were military and yet china did not invade hong kong at that point even in the midst of
00:20:42.520
this incredible uprising but to your point when they did was when the u.s was was completely absorbed
00:20:49.380
with covid and they did it without a peep no one even noticed and and i actually think that's an
00:20:55.500
argument for why right now isn't the time for them because they i do think they can choose uh when they
00:21:00.560
make this invasion and i think it's almost inevitable that they will but i think they can choose a better
00:21:05.740
time and to your second point about the amphibious assault ships that's exactly that's exactly right
00:21:10.200
turns out that invading taiwan is not a simple military operation in fact it actually has some fairly
00:21:16.700
significant natural defenses the only way you can do it is through amphibious assault landings you can't
00:21:21.300
do it through the air you just simply can't put enough soldiers on the ground and they're not quite
00:21:25.740
prepared yet now they're working aggressively towards that but our analysis is that they don't
00:21:30.880
have enough ships yet so i think right now it's probably premature for them to take this type of
00:21:37.040
action and finally to your third point yeah you're right there's a lot of upheaval in china right now and
00:21:41.880
i guess the question and equation the leadership would have to evaluate is does us invading taiwan
00:21:47.620
which is going to aggravate all of those internal financial stresses in china not alleviate them
00:21:52.560
does that help us or does it hurt us and again i think i think most of the analysts and just common
00:21:58.500
sense says it's probably not the right time right now but finally glenn let me say this who knew that
00:22:03.840
russia was going to invade ukraine uh who knew the cdc was a political organization i mean who knew the
00:22:10.380
great reset was going to reframe a lot of what we do in society so the truth is is we live in a very
00:22:15.800
unpredictable and a very dangerous world and it's hard to say but certainly what the next day might hold
00:22:20.840
so the new york times is um i think pretty much taking nancy pelosi apart uh thomas friedman had an
00:22:31.440
article in the new york times i think it was yesterday where he was talking about uh ukraine the money
00:22:38.660
we're sending over there how corruption is on the rise we don't know what we're doing and now we have
00:22:44.940
nancy pelosi running over to china and he thought it was a big mistake for her to go over it's not
00:22:51.200
necessarily mistake to go over but it's a mistake to announce you're going over because it gives china
00:22:58.520
the chance to do what it's doing and putting us into a situation to where you gotta go because you
00:23:06.920
can't give in to china but you don't want to go because it's pissing china off wasn't that the
00:23:14.360
mistake that nancy pelosi made yeah i think there are a couple mistakes are made number one is that
00:23:20.340
that that did occur and there have been members of congress who have visited taiwan in the last couple
00:23:25.500
years but they do exactly what you just said they don't announce that they go there we show our
00:23:30.920
support we have meaningful meetings we talk about you know military alliance you know things that we
00:23:35.740
can do to help them you leave and then perhaps you talk about it when you get home in some cases
00:23:40.500
we don't even discuss it once we return i don't think nancy pelosi announced that she was going to
00:23:46.460
taiwan i think the biden administration leaked it and you have to ask yourself why would they do that
00:23:51.780
is there anyone who thinks that 10 for the big guy wants to provoke china because this president
00:23:58.560
doesn't want to provoke china he wants to kowtow to china and a really good example of that is
00:24:04.460
why in the world is it so hard for this administration to say the truth about the origins
00:24:09.020
of the coronavirus i mean a seven-year-old could look at the evidence and say yep it almost certainly
00:24:14.600
came from the lab and yet they're reluctant in fact it's impossible for them to do that they just
00:24:19.760
simply won't and i think that's a good example they don't want to provoke china they thought pelosi
00:24:25.240
going there would be a provocation therefore they leaked it i think and there are others who believe
00:24:30.420
this as well in order to compel her not to go and uh to her credit glenn i think and oh my gosh i can't
00:24:38.360
believe i just said that about nancy pelosi but in this case it's true to her credit weirder things
00:24:44.360
have happened they're just well and the evidence is she probably landed there just a few minutes ago
00:24:49.700
i i think they were they were scheduled to land at about uh 10 0 5 p.m local and it's like i say just
00:24:56.360
we don't know for sure if she is but that attention apparently was her intention so i want to play
00:25:03.180
something from the pentagon that i just don't understand um and it regards the taiwan relations
00:25:11.220
act which i want you to get into here in just a second but let me play this and then ask you a
00:25:15.720
question on here's pentagon repeatedly said that we oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from
00:25:21.680
either side we have said that we do not support taiwan independence and we have said that we expect
00:25:27.780
cross-trade differences to be resolved by peaceful means we have communicated this directly
00:25:34.420
so wait a minute john kirby just said we don't support taiwan independence according to the taiwan
00:25:43.620
relations act which is very carefully written there is strategic ambiguity through it and i think that's
00:25:51.240
even a phrase that comes from that strategic ambiguity where we have always played look we support the
00:25:59.840
taiwanese people and uh you know we'll defend them we accept them as a uh as a uh a separate party
00:26:09.260
but we never say absolutely positively we're going in or absolutely positively we don't support this
00:26:16.620
why are we saying this now yeah you know that's a that's another good example of the delicate
00:26:23.880
nature of this relationship and that is you're exactly right the strategic ambiguity is intentional
00:26:29.820
it's deliberate and it's it written into this agreement and it was a way to split the split the baby
00:26:37.920
if you will at the time and that is you know philosophically and and in many practical ways we
00:26:42.900
were supportive of the people of of taiwan but on the other hand we didn't want to go to war with
00:26:48.680
china at the time and we said okay well we're going to have this strategic ambiguity well we're going to
00:26:53.080
kind of support them but we're not going to support them on uh uh in open or in public or in very
00:26:57.580
aggressive ways which is by the way coming back to the president one more time and and his apparent
00:27:03.060
willingness to you know to improvise and to change 30 years of national security strategy in an off-end
00:27:10.760
comment at the end of an interview which he says oh yeah we would absolutely militarily defend
00:27:15.600
taiwan well that's not been officially our policy for a long long time again it was it relied on this
00:27:22.120
ambiguity strategic ambiguity of china not knowing what we would do uh and and i think it's a good
00:27:29.120
example of again it's a delicate uh balance there and this president has has tipped the scales in a way
00:27:36.040
that brings a lot more uncertainty okay um let me uh take a quick one minute break um and i i i want to
00:27:46.700
go back to a what uh china is saying what russia is saying about this uh russia came out on russian tv
00:27:57.920
and i'll play that for you here in just a second then i just want to talk to you about
00:28:01.700
what do you think we should prepare for what are the options because honestly i am more afraid of this
00:28:10.020
government's response than i am of china's response i i these people screw everything up they'll only
00:28:19.780
make things worse and i i don't know i mean i just biden is practically an imbecile at this point
00:28:27.420
god only knows what he would choose to respond with uh so i want to talk to you a little bit about
00:28:32.740
that coming up in just a second this is the best of the glenn beck program
00:28:39.100
i remember i'm 18 years old i am working at wpgc in washington dc
00:28:54.400
and i can see the um the light on top of the washington monument so i'm at ground zero ronald
00:29:04.260
reagan is in office and there's something i don't remember what it was but a confrontation with um
00:29:11.320
the soviet union and it was really serious and i remember keeping the door to the teletype in my
00:29:19.160
studio open teletype is how we used to get the news and it had bells on it and a 10 bell event would be
00:29:27.360
nuclear war and i kept that propped open so i could hear those bells and count the bells
00:29:33.020
and you know we got to think as high as like six bells and i would count them because i knew and i
00:29:39.860
thought i'm at ground zero i mean this could be over in 12 minutes um i haven't felt that way um
00:29:49.500
really until this administration you know even after september 11th i i remember feeling on september
00:29:57.920
11th boy that i don't know what they're going to do but it wasn't a fear of nuclear war or all
00:30:04.640
out war over the whole world we're approaching that kind of of place we now have do we have the live
00:30:13.940
footage uh this is they're tracking nancy pelosi's plane we can show it to you she's at about 10 000
00:30:21.620
feet headed towards taiwan she has um avoided the restricted airspace over the south china sea
00:30:31.200
however china has uh just closed the airspace above the taiwan strait um and they are they're at least
00:30:43.540
flexing their muscles if you look at um what china is sending out online uh you are seeing military being
00:30:56.260
moved you have the uh aircraft carriers from china moving out of their home ports uh and headed towards
00:31:05.200
taiwan i don't know what's going to happen we have a guy who actually is i mean somewhat of kind of an
00:31:13.600
expert on this area working for us he's our chief research uh chief researcher and head writer for the
00:31:20.400
glenbeck television program jason betrill hello jason how are you hey glen doing good
00:31:25.700
so jason help help me out on um how serious is this with china do you think i think it's very
00:31:37.320
serious especially considering you know the symbolic meaning of taiwan uh taiwan's very very
00:31:43.500
symbolic to the communist chinese communist party uh this has been an issue since you know the
00:31:50.460
communists took over really so um this is probably one of the most crazy ambiguous treaties we've ever
00:31:59.180
had the taiwan relations act is the most ambiguous thing ever which makes kirby's you know remarks
00:32:04.820
yesterday kind of odd to come out and say you know we don't support independence so publicly i mean
00:32:11.000
i've read this the taiwan relations act cover to cover the ambiguity just saying it's ambiguous is
00:32:18.420
even an understatement it's the equivalent of one of the most confusing christopher nolan movies ever
00:32:22.520
take inception take interstellar take tenants and then have 30 different people try to describe what
00:32:28.100
it actually means like oh i actually think of me that's the basically what we're talking about here
00:32:32.080
so this is taiwan and china are at war with each other it's a civil war and it happened in the 1950s
00:32:40.400
so this has been going back and forth from the 1950s but it is it's coming to a head and that's
00:32:47.080
because as china rises in power they think the odds are that they can take the united states of america
00:32:54.460
i don't think that's possible yet but i think we're maybe five years two to five years away from them
00:33:01.500
actually being able to take taiwan and call our bluff or just fight the war yeah
00:33:10.000
uh you think that's accurate no absolutely accurate china sees taiwan like they see hong kong
00:33:14.700
uh when they made the deal with hong kong it was always people always say oh well you know china
00:33:19.420
does you know has no right to do this supposed to be two uh two systems you know under one country
00:33:23.520
um yeah but but it was in that agreement that china would one day take full control and it would be
00:33:29.000
one system uh people usually leave that part out they just decided to accelerate their plans
00:33:34.120
they see taiwan as one china and uh they believe it's rightfully theirs and their plan is always
00:33:41.420
to take it they just don't have the military capability now moving towards uh what we're
00:33:47.120
seeing now the thing that would have always you know tip us off and in the taiwan relations act we
00:33:53.740
will say that if if you try to coerce you know militarily onto taiwan to change taiwan and take it
00:33:59.340
we will respond and president reagan and i believe 1980 or 1982 reassured right after the uh we uh you
00:34:06.820
know the 1979 taiwan act reassured that hey we are still giving you weapons we are still coming to
00:34:12.120
your defense so this is a very very old agreement we've had and yes we will go and respond but um the
00:34:18.660
thing that has always kept you know the things you know kind of open and you know that we can see
00:34:22.800
what's going on in the future is it would take a tremendous chinese military build up to you know to
00:34:28.540
be put in place before we would you know the actual action so we would see it we'd see the
00:34:33.780
build up we'd go and you know respond to it what pelosi's done and let's let's put this into context
00:34:39.780
the speaker of the house has just undermined her presidents in the same party his foreign policy
00:34:47.100
she has taken it on herself to manipulate u.s foreign policy it's absolutely unprecedented she has
00:34:53.780
no right to do this it's not under the duties of the speaker of the house but her actions
00:34:58.380
are allowing this military build up to happen it's accelerating an already accelerated plan
00:35:04.340
that we've seen you know with china and hong kong i tell you it is um it is truly frightening and by
00:35:11.100
the way the reason why taiwan is important to the united states is if taiwan falls we then are pretty
00:35:20.040
much out of asia the the next country to fall would be new zealand and australia and china would just
00:35:28.260
overrun um all of that hemisphere and between russia and china um you know that that would be a very
00:35:38.680
uh difficult uh match for us to even stand shoulder to shoulder with okay so let me give you a couple of
00:35:46.180
scenarios and i want to hear what you think the best scenario is these are five different uh scenarios
00:35:52.380
um that have been put together by a taiwanese um based researcher so the first one minimalist approach
00:36:02.560
the people's uh army occupies jimen or matzu islands as well as taiwan's islands in the south china sea
00:36:11.720
maybe even the penguin islands they declare part or all of the taiwan strait a no-go zone they just
00:36:18.620
did that um and they say give it a no-go zone to all military shipping this would be fairly easy
00:36:27.240
etc etc and it would not over commit them um it would just be a step up scenario number two hybrid warfare
00:36:36.540
some sort of a partial naval and aerial blockade of taiwan intended to interfere with the economy
00:36:43.540
to combine with stepped up harassment such as direct flyovers which they did uh last night while we
00:36:50.220
were all sleeping incursions into maritime space by china's military uh they might also have cyber
00:36:57.900
attacks which they just did about two hours before pelosi's plane was taking off um
00:37:06.080
uh scenario number three a serious attack but no invasion this would involve air and sea warfare
00:37:12.700
no boots on the ground full aerial and naval blockade protracted set of naval and aerial battles
00:37:18.980
designed to degrade taiwan's military combined with ballistic missile attacks on military targets the
00:37:26.700
scenario number four a real actual invasion scenario number five short of a uh nuclear attack would be
00:37:35.720
the worst case full air and sea blockade massive ballistic missile attacks on military targets
00:37:41.280
cyber attack aggressive naval and aerial attacks and boots on the ground um i don't think that one
00:37:48.460
is uh even possible right now but maybe it is which one or do you have another scenario that you
00:37:56.840
think is more likely to come from this uh just so to point out i think every single one of those
00:38:02.380
scenarios would break the taiwan relations act uh which would require an american response
00:38:08.280
so if they're thinking about doing any of those they're ready for war um just really quick if i
00:38:13.920
can remember all of them the first one occupying some of those islands in the air defense zone we
00:38:17.780
already sell the air defense zone occupying any of those islands including the pengu islands those are
00:38:22.840
part of the pescador islands which is specifically named in the taiwan relations act as part of taiwan
00:38:28.860
so that's a huge uh that's a huge uh you know we're getting involved basically if they do that and
00:38:36.260
they're so that is or that is a progressive way to for china to do it where they're not taking all of
00:38:43.440
it they're just moving in and then like republicans always do you just back up and like oh well that that's
00:38:49.420
okay okay well we'll get it on the next vote you know um that's a progressive tactic and america would
00:38:56.740
probably not go to war over something like that i would hope yeah all right we should put note real
00:39:02.440
quick uh nancy pelosi has just landed in taiwan so that uh is just congratulations just watched it
00:39:08.360
live here uh as a so whatever game is being played is going to be played the other scenarios uh pretty
00:39:16.580
much uh many of them involved economic you know hybrid warfare or blockades economic hybrid warfare was
00:39:22.560
not mentioned back then in the taiwan relations act i would put that in the same category as blockade
00:39:26.720
that's also mentioned so if any of those things happen we are then according to the text
00:39:32.560
obligated to respond so we're responding anyway okay so if they pretty much do anything even the
00:39:41.620
lightest the minimal approach they would be in violation of this act you know our our treaty if you
00:39:49.480
will um and it it puts us you know uh into action and calls our bluff right i am terrified of what the
00:40:01.280
biden administration would do because the biden administration is absolutely toothless we have
00:40:09.000
no allies what we've done in russia has only benefited russia and hurt everyone else i think these guys could
00:40:18.800
overreact uh and do something very provocative that in the end will just destroy us what should be our
00:40:29.600
response jason oh gosh um like i said this is such a complicated issue because it's so i hate to use the
00:40:37.740
word again ambiguous i think that let me just go to this point i i think that i don't think china will
00:40:43.980
do any of those things i think that china will use this as an excuse to do a massive military buildup
00:40:50.280
that's what i think and we already saw massive military exercise massive military exercise oh
00:40:56.040
we're just going to position all these things here we're going to put all these boats here we're going
00:40:59.040
to keep these aircraft carriers here that way it puts off us off balance on we don't know how far
00:41:04.280
they've escalated their timeline and that's why i think this is so it's such a horrible not only
00:41:09.660
dangerous but horrible move by nancy pelosi in doing this is you you're bringing right to the
00:41:14.920
surface what we think we have 10 years to plan for and to prepare for um that's what i think will
00:41:20.040
happen i think that just we'll see a lot more military buildup in that area it'll be harder for
00:41:24.100
us to know when they are actually going to attack now if they do any of those other things i think that
00:41:28.740
we're obligated to respond in some way i'll leave it up to them to decide what is the you know
00:41:33.700
how to balance it all out um they're obviously not the ones that i want you know in charge right
00:41:39.540
now to do that but um i mean what we're we're signaling to everybody else in the in the region
00:41:45.240
that hey you know the time of of you being able to count us that's over now so you know yeah i will
00:41:53.940
tell you jason thank you so much for your analysis and of course we'll be watching it
