00:04:05.960 inspiration throughout the world they haven't been doing that in a long time but now they're not only

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

00:04:43.740 promise to have received its inspiration it should now give us courage to continue to stand up

00:04:51.900 because we know what it was our kids don't but i want you to know that it is only it's been put

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 0.80

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

00:09:59.520 and playing by the same rules

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 0.70

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 0.93

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 0.98

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:14:09.380 imbecility the principle that sustains compulsory vaccines is broad enough to cover cutting the fallopian 0.77

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.72

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

00:16:08.720 in what is measurable and controllable

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

00:17:05.780 and stop obeying

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 0.74

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 0.76

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 0.96

00:18:59.340 ready and the world was distracted and they came in easily and just took hong kong freedom squashed 0.68

00:19:06.180 i think that's the kind of opportunity that china would be looking for for taiwan just take it when 0.64

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 0.98

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.94

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 0.55

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 0.99

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 0.87

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 1.00

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

00:41:57.940 you
