1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,920 Speaker 1: So are there real consequences when the United States of 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:09,520 Speaker 1: America is vulnerable when we are weak? Are there consequences 3 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: around the world when America is weak, even for other countries. 4 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: The answer is yes. We are now witnessing what it 5 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: looks like to have a week America. China has now 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: come out they're ready to fight and has actually surrounded 7 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,080 Speaker 1: Taiwan over the weekend. They're also saying they're ready for 8 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: a fight with the US military. Now, before I get 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: to that story, let me give you some other headlines 10 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: that are happening again from around the world. Taliban leaders 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: are now killing more people in Afghanistan. Yes, those that 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: apparently stood up for democracy and freedom are still on 13 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: the kill list and people are getting well barbarically murdered 14 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: because America pulled out of Afghanistan. Before I get into 15 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: that story again, showing you just how much of a 16 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: weak America hurts all of us, we also have other headlines. 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin is now bracing for an even bigger war 18 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: with a possible counter offensive in Crimea. And what does 19 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: that mean. It means that then they will obviously fight 20 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: back with maybe even more of their brutal weaponry that 21 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: they have at their disposal. We also been told that 22 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: soldiers are now looking to destroy Vladimir Putin's empire. From 23 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: quote within in Ukraine is wanting you to believe that 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: they can go on a legitimate counter offensive, and when 25 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: they do go on this counter offensive, as they described it, 26 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 1: that somehow they want you to believe that we should 27 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: send them more weaponry and that they are going to 28 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: actually win. This all happens as there's been a new 29 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 1: Intel League and it exposes the US apparently spying on 30 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: adversaries as well as allies. There's saying this could be 31 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: one of the biggest breaches that we have seen in 32 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: US intelligence since Snowdon released all of his files in 33 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: two thousand, I think that was thirteen. Now, this is 34 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 1: just some of what's happening in the world right now. 35 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: Let's start with China. China's military says they're rate to 36 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: fight after drills near Taiwan and as they have basically 37 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: completely surrounded Taiwan. Chinese military declared today Monday that it 38 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: is ready to fight after completing three days of large 39 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: scale combat exercises around Taiwan that simulated stealing off the island. 40 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 1: In response to the Taiwanese president's trip to the US 41 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: last week. The combat readiness patrols named Joint Sword were 42 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: meant as a warning to these self governing Taiwan on 43 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: which China claims as its own. Is what the Chinese 44 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: military said publicly this morning. The theater troops the theater's 45 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: troops are ready to fight at all times and can 46 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: fight at any time. Yes, to smash any form of 47 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: Taiwan independence and foreign interference attempts, is what the Chinese 48 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: military said this morning. The exercises were similar to the 49 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: ones conducted by China last August, when it launched missile 50 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: strikes on targets in the sea around Taiwan in retaliation 51 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: for then speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, but have 52 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: been smaller and less disruptive. Military experts say that these 53 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: exercises are clearly serving two different reasons for the military 54 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: for them doing this, one as intimidation and two as 55 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: an opportunity for Chinese troops to practice stealing off Taiwan 56 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: by blocking see An air traffic, an important strategic option 57 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: the Chinese military will pursue in the event it uses 58 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: military force to take out Taiwan if you can shut 59 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: them down and cut them off from the rest of 60 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: the world, then you can basically starve them out, which 61 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: would be part of their plan. The Chinese action also 62 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: followed the President's mission to shore up Taiwan's dwindling diplomatic 63 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: alliance in Central America and boost its US support. A 64 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: trip cap with a sensitive meeting with House Speaker Ken 65 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: McCarthy in California. A US congressional delegation also met with 66 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: the Taiwanese leader over the weekend after she returned, talking 67 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: about what we can do to help China respond it 68 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: immediately to Kevin McCarthy's meeting by imposing a travel ban 69 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: and financial sanctions against those associated with the trip, and 70 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 1: then increase military action throughout the weekend. Quote China wants 71 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 1: to use any increase of diplomatic interactions between the US 72 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: and Taiwan as an excuse to train it's military. That's 73 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: a defense study expert and director of the Institute for 74 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: National Policy Research in Taiwan said. Beijing says contact between 75 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: foreign officials and the islands democratic government encourages Taiwanese who 76 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: want to form independence, a step China's ruling Communist party 77 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: says would lead to warp as you know, the side 78 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: split in nineteen forty nine after a civil war, and 79 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: the Communist Party says the island is obliged to rejoin 80 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: the mainland by force if necessary. And they say they're 81 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,679 Speaker 1: willing to take that step now. You have to ask yourself, 82 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: why are they willing to take that step now. It's 83 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: because they want Taiwan. And they also know that the 84 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: United States of America, in all reality, under the leadership 85 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden, is not going to do anything to 86 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: stop China from invading Taiwan or attacking Taiwan. Even after 87 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: Pelosi visit Taiwan, China conducted military strikes on targets in 88 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: the sea around Taiwan, while also sending warships and warplanes 89 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: over the median line of the Taiwan Strait. It also 90 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: fired missiles over the island itself, which landed in Japan's 91 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: Exclusive economic Zone, and a significant escalation the live fire 92 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: exercises disrupted flights and shipping and one of the shipping 93 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: lanes for global trade. This time, shipping and maritime traffic 94 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: have largely continued as normal after what has happened over 95 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: the last twelve hours. The exercises this time have focused 96 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 1: on air strength, with Taiwan reporting two hundred flights by 97 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: Chinese warplanes in the past three days alone. China State 98 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: broadcasters CCTV cited the People's Liberation Army said the exercises 99 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 1: are simulating the joint ceiling off. They're saying this on TV. 100 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: They're not hiding it, folks, the joint ceiling off of Taiwan, 101 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: as well as waves of simulated strikes at important targets 102 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: on the island to cripple that island. This morning, the 103 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: PLA said in Shandong Aircraft that it's Shengdong aircraft carrier 104 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: was taking part in the exercises in circling Taiwan for 105 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: the very first time. It showed a video of a 106 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: fighter jet taking off the deck of the ship in 107 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: a post that they put on the website their social 108 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: media platform they use, Weibo. The appearance of the aircraft 109 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: carrying the Pacific Ocean suggests that it could be used 110 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: to prevent foreign militaries from coming in to help Taiwan. 111 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: And let's be honest, I think we all know Joe 112 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: Biden's not going to do much to help Taiwan if 113 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: they decide to take the island in the future, if 114 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: there's a similar military maneuver, then Taiwan will have to 115 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: face it alone, is what many experts are now saying 116 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: based on how China would attack now, just to put 117 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: it perspective, between six am on Sunday and six am 118 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: this morning, a total of seventy planes were detected and 119 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: half crossed the media and of the Taiwan Straight, an 120 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: unofficial boundary once tactically accepted by both sides. According to 121 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense, Among the planes that crossed 122 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: the median were eight J sixteen fighter jets, four J 123 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: one fighters, eight SU thirty fighters, and reconnaissant planes. Taiwan 124 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: also tracked J fifteen fighter jets, which are paired with 125 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 1: the aircraft carriers, who all clearly broke protocol. Later than 126 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: the morning, Taiwan's Defense ministry reported another fifty nine fights 127 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: by bombers as well as multiple fighter jets. That followed 128 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: a full day between Friday and Saturday in which eight 129 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 1: warships and seventy one planes were detected near Taiwan that 130 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: according to the island's Defense ministry. It said in a 131 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,960 Speaker 1: statement that it was approaching the situation from the perspective 132 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: of quote not escalating conflict and not causing disputes. Taiwan 133 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: said is monitoring the Chinese moves though through its land base, 134 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: military systems and missile systems, as well from its own 135 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: navy vessels. China's military harassment of Taiwan has intensified in 136 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: in recent years since Joe Biden became the president, especially 137 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: after the debacle that happened in Afghanistan. They're now sending 138 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: planes and ships towards the Islana on a near daily basis, 139 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: with a number rising and reaction to sensitive activities. The 140 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: military activities have increased a not since Pelosi's visit as well. 141 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: Now Chinese PLA fighter jets regularly are flying over the 142 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: Middle Boundary Line. Experts say the PLA navy vessels regularly 143 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: navigate the waters off Taiwan's northeastern coast. Meanwhile, in the 144 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: South and the South China Sea, the US seventh Fleet 145 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: said it's missile destroyer the US has sailed in a 146 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: freedom of navigation operation. China has built an artificial island 147 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,960 Speaker 1: on the sea feature to stake its claim in the 148 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: disputed territory. That's something that also Joe Biden is allowed 149 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: to happen. China said the US illegally trespassed into waters 150 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: near the reef without the permission of the Chinese government, 151 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: according to a statement from the Chinese military's Southern Command. 152 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 1: Also over the weekend, all of this happening because when 153 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: you have a week leader, bad actors around the world 154 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: will act out. We know this in Afghanistan and we 155 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: also know this in Russia. So how does the rest 156 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: of the world react to what China is doing right 157 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: now and the weakness of the United States of America. Well, 158 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about money just for a second. There's a 159 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,240 Speaker 1: place where they don't really fight very much. It's called France. 160 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,400 Speaker 1: Are usually just gonna put their hands up and say 161 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: we're good. Macrone, the French president, has now come out fighting. 162 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 1: Is now urging that Europe needs its own quote strategic 163 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: autonomy from the United States, potentially including its reliance on 164 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: the dollar, and should avoid following America into any conflict 165 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: with China over Taiwan. On the plane ride back to 166 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: Paris from a three day state visit with a Chinese dictator, 167 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: the president of France once again expressed his desire for 168 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: Europe to become the world's third superpower. And of course 169 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: with France and the leadership position, you can't make this up. 170 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: In an interview with Politico, the President of France, who 171 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: is a leading proponent of the formation of a fully 172 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 1: fledged EU r me many worried this is what a 173 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: one world government would look like in Europe, emphasize the 174 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: need for a strategic autonomy. Sounds like he's taking the 175 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: talking points directly from the Chinese Communist government for Europe, 176 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: from the whims of Washington, DC. A key element of 177 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: this for the French president would be ramping up the 178 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: European defense infrastructure in order to reduce its reliance on 179 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: American arms manufacturers quote unquote. More extraordinarily, however, was the 180 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 1: President of France comments concerned the use of the dollar 181 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: as the world reserve currency. Now you have to understand 182 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 1: right now, China and Russia and many in the Middle 183 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: East are really excited right now about this idea of 184 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: taking away the power of the dollar, all right, moving 185 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: away from the dollar. And they want to do this 186 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: because it'll hurt the American currency and hurt America's basically 187 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: power around the world. They want to take away anything 188 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: that makes us power, and they want to make us weak. 189 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: And this is how you would pull that off. One 190 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 1: of the ways that you can do it is by saying, 191 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: all right, get rid of their currency. And if we 192 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: can get rid of their currency and basically do our 193 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: own thing, we're going to be in a very good 194 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: position to succeed. We're going to be in a very 195 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: very good position to succeed. Now you have China that's 196 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: been flying around the world. China went to Russia recently 197 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: they decided to start trading right not using American dollars. 198 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: We're seeing this in the Middle East right now, where 199 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: they're doing the exact same thing. And now you have 200 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 1: this meeting with France and the president of France is 201 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: coming out saying, yeah, I like this idea. We should 202 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: get away from the world dominated currency of the dollar. Now, 203 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: the dollar used to be very powerful, actually it still is. 204 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: Let me rephrase that. You could take a twenty dollar bill, 205 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: you could go anywhere in the world and everybody would 206 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: take that twenty dollar bill because it was a world 207 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: currency that everybody wanted. American dollars were extremely powerful. If 208 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 1: you've ever traveled, you know how much they loved American dollars, 209 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 1: especially if you went into countries that were a little 210 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: bit smaller, they were obsessed with the American dollar. They 211 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: want the American dollar. Well, now what they're realizing is 212 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: we have an opportunity here. Not only can we undermine 213 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: the United States of America, but we can get rid 214 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: of the American currency, and that gives us more power. 215 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: And now France, who, by the way, if you look 216 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: throughout history of the last hundred years, we've been really 217 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: nice to them, like we've saved their as a couple 218 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: of different times liberated them. Now they're saying it's time 219 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: for Europe to have its own military so they don't 220 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: have to rely on America. They don't want to have 221 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: to rely on American arms. And then this was even 222 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: more shocking to me. He wants to get rid of 223 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 1: the US dollars, the world's reserve currency, saying that Europe 224 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: should look to reduce its independence or excuse me, it's 225 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: dependence on the US dollar. The comments would likely be 226 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: music to the ears of those in Moscow and Beijing, 227 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: both of whom have been seeking to undermine the Petro dollar. 228 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: Also Sunny, it's been happening in the Middle East now 229 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: Communist China and Vladimir Putin, they both put together, got 230 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: together and put together what would many have described as 231 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 1: again another monetary new world order in which the rules 232 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 1: of the world would be set in Beijing and Moscow 233 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: instead of Washington. That's what Lithuania's MP said in a 234 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: new interview, saying everyone should be terrified that this is 235 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: even a possibility. Communist China and Russia plotting a new 236 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: world order. Ukraine just the first step, is how it 237 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: was described. After the meeting Communist China and Vladimir Putin's 238 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: Russia said that it was clear what they were trying 239 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: to do in their meeting, which is they put out 240 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: the new rules of the world. They are set in 241 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: Beijing and in Moscow instead of Washington. An exclusive interview, 242 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 1: the Lithuanian politician has warned that the invasion of Ukraine 243 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: by Russia is just the first step of a plan 244 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: to upend the international order. Quote. Everything is being coordinated 245 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: with China. Putin along with China, is trying to create 246 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: a new world order in which the rules of the 247 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: world are created in Beijing and Moscow. Ukraine is just 248 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: a part of this plan. Taiwan also the leading Lithuanian MP, 249 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: said that he believes in exchange for China supporting Russia's 250 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: attempt to gain control over the former Soviet satellite state, 251 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: Russia would in turn ship Ukrainian wheat to China, which 252 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: has been facing food shortages of men devastating droughts over 253 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: the past year. Ukraine has a strategic history of Russia 254 00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: pillaging its food resources with millions of people starving to death. Yes, 255 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: let me say it again, starving to death. Famine happened, 256 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: and there's a great book you can read about this 257 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty two. In nineteen thirty three, when stalin 258 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: Soviet Union impose a brutal communist campaign to collect to 259 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 1: basically nationalize all the farming and give Moscow the ability 260 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: to control the supply chain, which they did. Scholars believe 261 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: that the communist dictator depleted Ukrainians foodstock in order to 262 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: weaken the independence movement against the Soviets. Russia disputes this 263 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 1: claim and indeed denies that a genocide even took place, 264 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: despite an estimated listen carefully, four to seven million Ukrainians 265 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: dying during that period of time when they starve people 266 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: to death. So what China said, is hey, we need 267 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: this week. Ukraine is a mass producer of this week, 268 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: and we gotta figure out how to do this. Like, 269 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: right now, you add all this up and the entire 270 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: conversation that we're having right now, there's one common theme 271 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: that keeps coming up. Are you noticing this? America is 272 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: nowhere in the conversation. Our leaders are nowhere in the conversation. 273 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:19,679 Speaker 1: Our leaders are completely silent in this conversation. Joe Biden 274 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have a seat anywhere close to the table in 275 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: this conversation. Can we just make sure we all understand that, Like, 276 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 1: there's nothing in any of these conversations where Joe Biden 277 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: is involved or the Democrats are involved. How did we 278 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: get to this point? There was a flash point. There 279 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: was a moment when the rest of the world realized, 280 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: I can do this right. The rest of the world 281 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: realized the bad actors that America was weak and they 282 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: have an opportunity. And it may be a short lived opportunity, 283 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 1: It may only be there for a moment. I have 284 00:18:56,720 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity, a moment where he can seize this opportunity. 285 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 1: It was in Afghanistan the world saw our pulling out 286 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,199 Speaker 1: of Afghanistan. The world saw exactly what we did. They 287 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: saw that we had a present that wanted us out 288 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: by an arbitrary date that was set a political date 289 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: of nine to eleven anniversary to get all American troops 290 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: out so he could do a mission accomplished moment where 291 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: we did it right, mission accomplished. It was a pr stunt. 292 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: That was the only reason why they did it. To 293 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: be clear, that was the whole ball game. That was it. 294 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: It was a mission accomplished moment. That's what we want. 295 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: That's our goal, that's our objective, and we don't care 296 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: who dies. We left people behind to be slaughtered. Interpreters 297 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: have been slaughtered that helped Americans. Others that sold basic 298 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 1: goods to American soldiers, including bread, have been beheaded as 299 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: they've been considered to be an ally of the evil 300 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: West and that will cost your life. Women have been 301 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 1: sold into slavery. Women have been brutally murdered. Women have 302 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 1: been raped and stoned. Women have been sold off. Young 303 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: girls have been sold off as quote young brides. We're 304 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: talking about eleven, twelve, thirteen year olds being sold as brides. 305 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 1: They've gone back to the stone ages in Afghanistan. All 306 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,800 Speaker 1: the things we thought we were going to stop and 307 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: right we were going to export democracy, that all disappeared. 308 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: We also lost our ability to protect our interests in 309 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: that region by not keeping a strategic airbase there that 310 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: we had spent billions to create, billions and countless American 311 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: lives are lost. We gave it all back because they 312 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: wanted to say, we're out of there. It was a 313 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: stupid decision. It was an incompetent decision on a level 314 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: that you can't even comprehend. But when we made that decision, 315 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: and when they saw the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan and 316 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 1: the weakness that we were then taking orders from the Taliban, 317 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: we were taking orders from actual terrorists. That's what we 318 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 1: did when we were leaving and we had the ability 319 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: to take out that suicide bomber, but we couldn't get 320 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: the clearance to kill him, to take out that suicide bomber. 321 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: Before that suicide bomber was able to kill more than 322 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: a dozen Americans and countless other Afghanians. How did that 323 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: even happen? How did we even get to that point? 324 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: How was that even possible? When you have an American 325 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,200 Speaker 1: president that is weak. These are the things that go on, 326 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 1: These are the things that happen. Now. There was also 327 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 1: a white paper this past week that was released and 328 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,320 Speaker 1: this doesn't help America, by the way, look stronger. It 329 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: makes us look stupid. A white paper that was put 330 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 1: out by this White House on their quote assessment, okay, 331 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 1: their assessment of the afghan withdrawal, what happened in Afghanistan, 332 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 1: how it happened in Afghanistan, Why it happened in Afghanistan. 333 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: We have an assessment now for it and what happened, 334 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: and the White House is furious that you're even questioning 335 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 1: the chaotic pulling out of Afghanistan. Then we all witnessed. 336 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: We all saw the people hanging onto the wheels and 337 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: trying to hang on and hold on to the side 338 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 1: of an aircraft because they knew that that was worth 339 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: risking their life. And I want you to think about 340 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: that mentality of desperation. The people that were trying to 341 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 1: stow away, grabbing onto the wheels and holding onto the 342 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: side of an airplane that was taking off and then 343 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: fell their death caught on camera. The reason why they 344 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: did that is not because they're stupid, It's because they 345 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,480 Speaker 1: knew that they stayed on the ground, they were going 346 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: to be slaughtered by the Taliban. That's why, okay, that's why. 347 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: They knew they were going to be slaughtered by the Taliban, 348 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 1: and that Taliban was going to come in, and that 349 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: Taliban was going to kill them. And they knew they 350 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: were sitting ducks and if they didn't get on a plane, 351 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: their life was over. Guaranteed death was coming to them. 352 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: And the White House witnessed this, and the world witnessed this, right, 353 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: the White House and the world both witnessed it. They 354 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: both saw it happen in real time. So what does 355 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: the White House say in this white paper about the 356 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: withdrawal from Afghanistan. They said they didn't see any problems. 357 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 1: In fact, they think they did an excellent job. Scott 358 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: Kirby at the White House said this, And so for 359 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: all this talk of chaos, I just didn't see it, 360 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: not from my perch. At one point during the evacuation, 361 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: there was an aircraft taking off full of people Americans 362 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: in afghansa lake every forty eight minutes, and not one 363 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: single mission was missed. So I'm sorry, I just won't 364 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,239 Speaker 1: buy the whole argument of chaos. I'm sorry, I just 365 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: don't buy the whole argument of chaos. So when you 366 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: have an airfield that's not being protected, that's not a 367 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: secure air base, and you see people hanging onto airplanes 368 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: and suicide bombings happening, and Taliban fighters that are killing 369 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: Afghans or sport right outside the gates, knowing the Americans 370 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 1: who can't stop them anymore, that's part of this. And 371 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna end with this just to give you a 372 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: little bit of perspective here, because I really think this 373 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: is an important point of perspective. The Afghans were actually 374 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,160 Speaker 1: and the media did not cover this. It was men 375 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: and women the military at the base that told us 376 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: this happened. The Afghanistan, the Afghan Taliban, these jihadists were 377 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: actually killing women and men and children outside the gates. 378 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: And the reason why they were doing it were being 379 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: told is because once they realized that the American troops 380 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: would not engage, it was their way of taunting and 381 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: tormenting the American soldiers. They were killing for sport. At 382 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: that point, it was all about sport. They were killing 383 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 1: for that moment of sport, that moment of entertainment. It 384 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 1: wasn't because there was a mission. It was just we 385 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: can kill these people that want to go to the Americans, 386 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: and we can do it right in front of them, 387 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: and they can't shoot us. And once they figured out 388 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 1: that dynamic, and they figured out very quickly, it was 389 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 1: game on. It was oh okay, checkmate, watch this now. 390 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: Imagine being an American soldier. Imagine knowing you can't even 391 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: shoot the suicide bomber. They end up killing your friends 392 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 1: because you couldn't get orders from the Biden administration of 393 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: rules of engagement because they just wanted to arbitrarily get 394 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: out of Afghanist Imagine your Russia, Imagine your China and 395 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 1: you're witnessing this. Imagine the Taliban, Imagine your Iran, Imagine 396 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: your Saudi Arabia. Right, they're all trying to change currencies 397 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: right now out of the American dollar, pegging it for trade. 398 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: They're trying to take away America's power because they realize 399 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: right now is a chance to do it with Joe 400 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: Biden is the president. And then imagine that you're killing 401 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,719 Speaker 1: people for sport right in front of American soldiers and 402 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 1: you know that they're so weak because of the president 403 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: that you can do this. That is the moment when 404 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: China said, yep, it's probably time for us to go 405 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: get Taiwan. That's the moment that it happened. Folks like 406 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 1: that is that moment where it all clicked. And so 407 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: now you see that we're on the verge of not one, 408 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: but two different wars right now, major wars, massive conflicts. 409 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: The number of people that will die in Taiwan if 410 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 1: China decides to attack, and there's very good indication that's 411 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,239 Speaker 1: exactly what their plan is, is going to be astronomical. 412 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: The numbers are going to be catastrophic, and they know 413 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: America can't stop them. And once they've realized, it's just 414 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 1: like any bully that you can get away with something 415 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 1: you're not stopping. You're emboldened, you're empowered. It's no different 416 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: than crime in America to day and cities where liberals 417 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 1: won't prosecute you for committing heinous crimes. Once you realize 418 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: you can commit those hainous crimes, it's game on. Once 419 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: you realize that you can get caught for committing crimes 420 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: and they won't put you in jail, it's game on. 421 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: We're gonna keep covering this story because it's important. It 422 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: may not be the sexiest story of the day. But 423 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: when you're on the verge of another massive war in 424 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: this country in the world, and you are watching and 425 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: witnessing this happen right now, it needs to be talked about. 426 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 1: Make sure you share a podcast with your family and 427 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:56,320 Speaker 1: your friends. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
