China and Russia Plotting massive land takeover, Ukraine First, then Taiwan! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: So are there real consequences when the United States of
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: America is vulnerable when we are weak? Are there consequences
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: around the world when America is weak, even for other countries.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: The answer is yes. We are now witnessing what it
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: looks like to have a week America. China has now
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: come out they're ready to fight and has actually surrounded
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Taiwan over the weekend. They're also saying they're ready for
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: a fight with the US military. Now, before I get
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to that story, let me give you some other headlines
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that are happening again from around the world. Taliban leaders
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: are now killing more people in Afghanistan. Yes, those that
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: apparently stood up for democracy and freedom are still on
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the kill list and people are getting well barbarically murdered
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: because America pulled out of Afghanistan. Before I get into
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: that story again, showing you just how much of a
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: weak America hurts all of us, we also have other headlines.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is now bracing for an even bigger war
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: with a possible counter offensive in Crimea. And what does
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: that mean. It means that then they will obviously fight
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: back with maybe even more of their brutal weaponry that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: they have at their disposal. We also been told that
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: soldiers are now looking to destroy Vladimir Putin's empire. From
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: quote within in Ukraine is wanting you to believe that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: they can go on a legitimate counter offensive, and when
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: they do go on this counter offensive, as they described it,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: that somehow they want you to believe that we should
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: send them more weaponry and that they are going to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: actually win. This all happens as there's been a new
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Intel League and it exposes the US apparently spying on
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: adversaries as well as allies. There's saying this could be
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: one of the biggest breaches that we have seen in
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: US intelligence since Snowdon released all of his files in
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: two thousand, I think that was thirteen. Now, this is
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: just some of what's happening in the world right now.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Let's start with China. China's military says they're rate to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: fight after drills near Taiwan and as they have basically
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: completely surrounded Taiwan. Chinese military declared today Monday that it
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: is ready to fight after completing three days of large
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: scale combat exercises around Taiwan that simulated stealing off the island.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: In response to the Taiwanese president's trip to the US
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: last week. The combat readiness patrols named Joint Sword were
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: meant as a warning to these self governing Taiwan on
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: which China claims as its own. Is what the Chinese
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: military said publicly this morning. The theater troops the theater's
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: troops are ready to fight at all times and can
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: fight at any time. Yes, to smash any form of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Taiwan independence and foreign interference attempts, is what the Chinese
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: military said this morning. The exercises were similar to the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: ones conducted by China last August, when it launched missile
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: strikes on targets in the sea around Taiwan in retaliation
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: for then speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, but have
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: been smaller and less disruptive. Military experts say that these
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: exercises are clearly serving two different reasons for the military
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: for them doing this, one as intimidation and two as
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: an opportunity for Chinese troops to practice stealing off Taiwan
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: by blocking see An air traffic, an important strategic option
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the Chinese military will pursue in the event it uses
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: military force to take out Taiwan if you can shut
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: them down and cut them off from the rest of
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: the world, then you can basically starve them out, which
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: would be part of their plan. The Chinese action also
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: followed the President's mission to shore up Taiwan's dwindling diplomatic
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: alliance in Central America and boost its US support. A
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: trip cap with a sensitive meeting with House Speaker Ken
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: McCarthy in California. A US congressional delegation also met with
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the Taiwanese leader over the weekend after she returned, talking
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about what we can do to help China respond it
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: immediately to Kevin McCarthy's meeting by imposing a travel ban
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and financial sanctions against those associated with the trip, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: then increase military action throughout the weekend. Quote China wants
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: to use any increase of diplomatic interactions between the US
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and Taiwan as an excuse to train it's military. That's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: a defense study expert and director of the Institute for
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: National Policy Research in Taiwan said. Beijing says contact between
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: foreign officials and the islands democratic government encourages Taiwanese who
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: want to form independence, a step China's ruling Communist party
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: says would lead to warp as you know, the side
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: split in nineteen forty nine after a civil war, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the Communist Party says the island is obliged to rejoin
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the mainland by force if necessary. And they say they're
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: willing to take that step now. You have to ask yourself,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: why are they willing to take that step now. It's
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: because they want Taiwan. And they also know that the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: United States of America, in all reality, under the leadership
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: of Joe Biden, is not going to do anything to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: stop China from invading Taiwan or attacking Taiwan. Even after
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Pelosi visit Taiwan, China conducted military strikes on targets in
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the sea around Taiwan, while also sending warships and warplanes
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: over the median line of the Taiwan Strait. It also
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: fired missiles over the island itself, which landed in Japan's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Exclusive economic Zone, and a significant escalation the live fire
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: exercises disrupted flights and shipping and one of the shipping
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: lanes for global trade. This time, shipping and maritime traffic
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: have largely continued as normal after what has happened over
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the last twelve hours. The exercises this time have focused
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: on air strength, with Taiwan reporting two hundred flights by
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Chinese warplanes in the past three days alone. China State
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: broadcasters CCTV cited the People's Liberation Army said the exercises
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: are simulating the joint ceiling off. They're saying this on TV.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: They're not hiding it, folks, the joint ceiling off of Taiwan,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: as well as waves of simulated strikes at important targets
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: on the island to cripple that island. This morning, the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: PLA said in Shandong Aircraft that it's Shengdong aircraft carrier
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: was taking part in the exercises in circling Taiwan for
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the very first time. It showed a video of a
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: fighter jet taking off the deck of the ship in
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: a post that they put on the website their social
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: media platform they use, Weibo. The appearance of the aircraft
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: carrying the Pacific Ocean suggests that it could be used
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to prevent foreign militaries from coming in to help Taiwan.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And let's be honest, I think we all know Joe
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Biden's not going to do much to help Taiwan if
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they decide to take the island in the future, if
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: there's a similar military maneuver, then Taiwan will have to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: face it alone, is what many experts are now saying
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: based on how China would attack now, just to put
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it perspective, between six am on Sunday and six am
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: this morning, a total of seventy planes were detected and
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: half crossed the media and of the Taiwan Straight, an
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: unofficial boundary once tactically accepted by both sides. According to
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense, Among the planes that crossed
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the median were eight J sixteen fighter jets, four J
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: one fighters, eight SU thirty fighters, and reconnaissant planes. Taiwan
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: also tracked J fifteen fighter jets, which are paired with
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the aircraft carriers, who all clearly broke protocol. Later than
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the morning, Taiwan's Defense ministry reported another fifty nine fights
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: by bombers as well as multiple fighter jets. That followed
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a full day between Friday and Saturday in which eight
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: warships and seventy one planes were detected near Taiwan that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: according to the island's Defense ministry. It said in a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: statement that it was approaching the situation from the perspective
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of quote not escalating conflict and not causing disputes. Taiwan
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: said is monitoring the Chinese moves though through its land base,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: military systems and missile systems, as well from its own
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: navy vessels. China's military harassment of Taiwan has intensified in
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: in recent years since Joe Biden became the president, especially
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: after the debacle that happened in Afghanistan. They're now sending
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: planes and ships towards the Islana on a near daily basis,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: with a number rising and reaction to sensitive activities. The
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: military activities have increased a not since Pelosi's visit as well.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Now Chinese PLA fighter jets regularly are flying over the
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Middle Boundary Line. Experts say the PLA navy vessels regularly
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: navigate the waters off Taiwan's northeastern coast. Meanwhile, in the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: South and the South China Sea, the US seventh Fleet
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: said it's missile destroyer the US has sailed in a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: freedom of navigation operation. China has built an artificial island
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: on the sea feature to stake its claim in the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: disputed territory. That's something that also Joe Biden is allowed
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: to happen. China said the US illegally trespassed into waters
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: near the reef without the permission of the Chinese government,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: according to a statement from the Chinese military's Southern Command.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Also over the weekend, all of this happening because when
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: you have a week leader, bad actors around the world
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: will act out. We know this in Afghanistan and we
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: also know this in Russia. So how does the rest
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of the world react to what China is doing right
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: now and the weakness of the United States of America. Well,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: let's talk about money just for a second. There's a
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: place where they don't really fight very much. It's called France.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Are usually just gonna put their hands up and say
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: we're good. Macrone, the French president, has now come out fighting.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Is now urging that Europe needs its own quote strategic
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: autonomy from the United States, potentially including its reliance on
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the dollar, and should avoid following America into any conflict
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: with China over Taiwan. On the plane ride back to
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Paris from a three day state visit with a Chinese dictator,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the president of France once again expressed his desire for
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Europe to become the world's third superpower. And of course
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: with France and the leadership position, you can't make this up.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: In an interview with Politico, the President of France, who
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: is a leading proponent of the formation of a fully
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: fledged EU r me many worried this is what a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: one world government would look like in Europe, emphasize the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: need for a strategic autonomy. Sounds like he's taking the
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: talking points directly from the Chinese Communist government for Europe,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: from the whims of Washington, DC. A key element of
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: this for the French president would be ramping up the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: European defense infrastructure in order to reduce its reliance on
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: American arms manufacturers quote unquote. More extraordinarily, however, was the
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: President of France comments concerned the use of the dollar
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: as the world reserve currency. Now you have to understand
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: right now, China and Russia and many in the Middle
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: East are really excited right now about this idea of
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: taking away the power of the dollar, all right, moving
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: away from the dollar. And they want to do this
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: because it'll hurt the American currency and hurt America's basically
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: power around the world. They want to take away anything
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: that makes us power, and they want to make us weak.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: And this is how you would pull that off. One
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: of the ways that you can do it is by saying,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: all right, get rid of their currency. And if we
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: can get rid of their currency and basically do our
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: own thing, we're going to be in a very good
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: position to succeed. We're going to be in a very
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: very good position to succeed. Now you have China that's
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: been flying around the world. China went to Russia recently
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: they decided to start trading right not using American dollars.
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: We're seeing this in the Middle East right now, where
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: they're doing the exact same thing. And now you have
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: this meeting with France and the president of France is
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: coming out saying, yeah, I like this idea. We should
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: get away from the world dominated currency of the dollar. Now,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: the dollar used to be very powerful, actually it still is.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Let me rephrase that. You could take a twenty dollar bill,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: you could go anywhere in the world and everybody would
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: take that twenty dollar bill because it was a world
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: currency that everybody wanted. American dollars were extremely powerful. If
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: you've ever traveled, you know how much they loved American dollars,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: especially if you went into countries that were a little
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: bit smaller, they were obsessed with the American dollar. They
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: want the American dollar. Well, now what they're realizing is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: we have an opportunity here. Not only can we undermine
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, but we can get rid
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of the American currency, and that gives us more power.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: And now France, who, by the way, if you look
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: throughout history of the last hundred years, we've been really
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: nice to them, like we've saved their as a couple
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: of different times liberated them. Now they're saying it's time
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: for Europe to have its own military so they don't
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: have to rely on America. They don't want to have
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: to rely on American arms. And then this was even
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: more shocking to me. He wants to get rid of
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the US dollars, the world's reserve currency, saying that Europe
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: should look to reduce its independence or excuse me, it's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: dependence on the US dollar. The comments would likely be
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: music to the ears of those in Moscow and Beijing,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: both of whom have been seeking to undermine the Petro dollar.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Also Sunny, it's been happening in the Middle East now
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Communist China and Vladimir Putin, they both put together, got
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: together and put together what would many have described as
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: again another monetary new world order in which the rules
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: of the world would be set in Beijing and Moscow
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: instead of Washington. That's what Lithuania's MP said in a
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: new interview, saying everyone should be terrified that this is
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: even a possibility. Communist China and Russia plotting a new
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: world order. Ukraine just the first step, is how it
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: was described. After the meeting Communist China and Vladimir Putin's
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Russia said that it was clear what they were trying
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to do in their meeting, which is they put out
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the new rules of the world. They are set in
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Beijing and in Moscow instead of Washington. An exclusive interview,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the Lithuanian politician has warned that the invasion of Ukraine
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: by Russia is just the first step of a plan
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: to upend the international order. Quote. Everything is being coordinated
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: with China. Putin along with China, is trying to create
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: a new world order in which the rules of the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: world are created in Beijing and Moscow. Ukraine is just
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: a part of this plan. Taiwan also the leading Lithuanian MP,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: said that he believes in exchange for China supporting Russia's
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: attempt to gain control over the former Soviet satellite state,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Russia would in turn ship Ukrainian wheat to China, which
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: has been facing food shortages of men devastating droughts over
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: the past year. Ukraine has a strategic history of Russia
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: pillaging its food resources with millions of people starving to death. Yes,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: let me say it again, starving to death. Famine happened,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: and there's a great book you can read about this
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty two. In nineteen thirty three, when stalin
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Soviet Union impose a brutal communist campaign to collect to
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: basically nationalize all the farming and give Moscow the ability
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to control the supply chain, which they did. Scholars believe
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: that the communist dictator depleted Ukrainians foodstock in order to
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: weaken the independence movement against the Soviets. Russia disputes this
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: claim and indeed denies that a genocide even took place,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: despite an estimated listen carefully, four to seven million Ukrainians
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: dying during that period of time when they starve people
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: to death. So what China said, is hey, we need
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: this week. Ukraine is a mass producer of this week,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and we gotta figure out how to do this. Like,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: right now, you add all this up and the entire
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: conversation that we're having right now, there's one common theme
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: that keeps coming up. Are you noticing this? America is
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: nowhere in the conversation. Our leaders are nowhere in the conversation.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Our leaders are completely silent in this conversation. Joe Biden
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: doesn't have a seat anywhere close to the table in
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: this conversation. Can we just make sure we all understand that, Like,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: there's nothing in any of these conversations where Joe Biden
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: is involved or the Democrats are involved. How did we
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: get to this point? There was a flash point. There
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: was a moment when the rest of the world realized,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I can do this right. The rest of the world
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: realized the bad actors that America was weak and they
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity. And it may be a short lived opportunity,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: It may only be there for a moment. I have
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: an opportunity, a moment where he can seize this opportunity.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: It was in Afghanistan the world saw our pulling out
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. The world saw exactly what we did. They
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: saw that we had a present that wanted us out
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: by an arbitrary date that was set a political date
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of nine to eleven anniversary to get all American troops
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: out so he could do a mission accomplished moment where
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: we did it right, mission accomplished. It was a pr stunt.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: That was the only reason why they did it. To
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: be clear, that was the whole ball game. That was it.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: It was a mission accomplished moment. That's what we want.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: That's our goal, that's our objective, and we don't care
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: who dies. We left people behind to be slaughtered. Interpreters
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: have been slaughtered that helped Americans. Others that sold basic
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: goods to American soldiers, including bread, have been beheaded as
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: they've been considered to be an ally of the evil
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: West and that will cost your life. Women have been
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: sold into slavery. Women have been brutally murdered. Women have
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: been raped and stoned. Women have been sold off. Young
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: girls have been sold off as quote young brides. We're
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: talking about eleven, twelve, thirteen year olds being sold as brides.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: They've gone back to the stone ages in Afghanistan. All
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: the things we thought we were going to stop and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: right we were going to export democracy, that all disappeared.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: We also lost our ability to protect our interests in
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: that region by not keeping a strategic airbase there that
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: we had spent billions to create, billions and countless American
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: lives are lost. We gave it all back because they
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: wanted to say, we're out of there. It was a
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: stupid decision. It was an incompetent decision on a level
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: that you can't even comprehend. But when we made that decision,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: and when they saw the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the weakness that we were then taking orders from the Taliban,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: we were taking orders from actual terrorists. That's what we
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: did when we were leaving and we had the ability
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: to take out that suicide bomber, but we couldn't get
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: the clearance to kill him, to take out that suicide bomber.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Before that suicide bomber was able to kill more than
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: a dozen Americans and countless other Afghanians. How did that
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: even happen? How did we even get to that point?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: How was that even possible? When you have an American
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: president that is weak. These are the things that go on,
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: These are the things that happen. Now. There was also
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: a white paper this past week that was released and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: this doesn't help America, by the way, look stronger. It
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: makes us look stupid. A white paper that was put
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: out by this White House on their quote assessment, okay,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: their assessment of the afghan withdrawal, what happened in Afghanistan,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: how it happened in Afghanistan, Why it happened in Afghanistan.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: We have an assessment now for it and what happened,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and the White House is furious that you're even questioning
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: the chaotic pulling out of Afghanistan. Then we all witnessed.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: We all saw the people hanging onto the wheels and
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: trying to hang on and hold on to the side
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: of an aircraft because they knew that that was worth
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: risking their life. And I want you to think about
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: that mentality of desperation. The people that were trying to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: stow away, grabbing onto the wheels and holding onto the
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: side of an airplane that was taking off and then
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: fell their death caught on camera. The reason why they
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: did that is not because they're stupid, It's because they
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: knew that they stayed on the ground, they were going
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: to be slaughtered by the Taliban. That's why, okay, that's why.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: They knew they were going to be slaughtered by the Taliban,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and that Taliban was going to come in, and that
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Taliban was going to kill them. And they knew they
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: were sitting ducks and if they didn't get on a plane,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: their life was over. Guaranteed death was coming to them.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And the White House witnessed this, and the world witnessed this, right,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: the White House and the world both witnessed it. They
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: both saw it happen in real time. So what does
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the White House say in this white paper about the
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan. They said they didn't see any problems.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: In fact, they think they did an excellent job. Scott
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: Kirby at the White House said this, And so for
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: not from my perch. At one point during the evacuation,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: there was an aircraft taking off full of people Americans
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: in afghansa lake every forty eight minutes, and not one
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: single mission was missed. So I'm sorry, I just won't
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: buy the whole argument of chaos. I'm sorry, I just
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: don't buy the whole argument of chaos. So when you
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: have an airfield that's not being protected, that's not a
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: secure air base, and you see people hanging onto airplanes
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: and suicide bombings happening, and Taliban fighters that are killing
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Afghans or sport right outside the gates, knowing the Americans
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: who can't stop them anymore, that's part of this. And
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna end with this just to give you a
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: little bit of perspective here, because I really think this
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: is an important point of perspective. The Afghans were actually
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and the media did not cover this. It was men
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: and women the military at the base that told us
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: this happened. The Afghanistan, the Afghan Taliban, these jihadists were
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: actually killing women and men and children outside the gates.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: And the reason why they were doing it were being
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: told is because once they realized that the American troops
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: would not engage, it was their way of taunting and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: tormenting the American soldiers. They were killing for sport. At
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that point, it was all about sport. They were killing
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: for that moment of sport, that moment of entertainment. It
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: wasn't because there was a mission. It was just we
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: can kill these people that want to go to the Americans,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: and we can do it right in front of them,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: and they can't shoot us. And once they figured out
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: that dynamic, and they figured out very quickly, it was
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: game on. It was oh okay, checkmate, watch this now.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Imagine being an American soldier. Imagine knowing you can't even
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: shoot the suicide bomber. They end up killing your friends
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: because you couldn't get orders from the Biden administration of
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: rules of engagement because they just wanted to arbitrarily get
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: out of Afghanist Imagine your Russia, Imagine your China and
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you're witnessing this. Imagine the Taliban, Imagine your Iran, Imagine
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: your Saudi Arabia. Right, they're all trying to change currencies
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: right now out of the American dollar, pegging it for trade.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: They're trying to take away America's power because they realize
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: right now is a chance to do it with Joe
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Biden is the president. And then imagine that you're killing
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: people for sport right in front of American soldiers and
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you know that they're so weak because of the president
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: that you can do this. That is the moment when
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: China said, yep, it's probably time for us to go
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: get Taiwan. That's the moment that it happened. Folks like
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: that is that moment where it all clicked. And so
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: now you see that we're on the verge of not one,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: but two different wars right now, major wars, massive conflicts.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: The number of people that will die in Taiwan if
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: China decides to attack, and there's very good indication that's
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: exactly what their plan is, is going to be astronomical.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: The numbers are going to be catastrophic, and they know
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: America can't stop them. And once they've realized, it's just
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: like any bully that you can get away with something
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: you're not stopping. You're emboldened, you're empowered. It's no different
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: than crime in America to day and cities where liberals
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: won't prosecute you for committing heinous crimes. Once you realize
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: you can commit those hainous crimes, it's game on. Once
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: you realize that you can get caught for committing crimes
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: and they won't put you in jail, it's game on.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: We're gonna keep covering this story because it's important. It
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: may not be the sexiest story of the day. But
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: when you're on the verge of another massive war in
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: this country in the world, and you are watching and
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: witnessing this happen right now, it needs to be talked about.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Make sure you share a podcast with your family and
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: your friends. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
