opportunity to invade taiwan before the next u.s. presidential election in 2024. texas senator john cornyn will join us on that. >> first fox news teams coverage. following christopher wray's hearing on the hill. peter, what do china watchers think taiwan is thinking here? >> a take over of taiwan before the 2024 presidential election. this person says we have always been aware that china has an ever-evolving plan for a military invasion of taiwan. if they are not successful in reunifying politically, they will do so with force. >> i believe they will invade

taiwan in the future if the united states doesn't make it clear we won't accept a chinese invasion of taiwan. the way we doha is arm taiwan now and make it crystal clear we will come to taiwan's defense. that's not so we can win a war over taiwan. it's so we can prevent a war. >> the biden administration refused to say whether or not they think nancy pelosi's trip to taiwan was worth it. now there is a bloomberg story that the biden administration is trying to kill a bill that would officially make taiwan a majors non-nato ally. it sounds like the white house is more concerned with g-7 allys. >> it's concerning. it's not just concerning to us but to the people of taiwan and

to our allies in the region. especially japan. we are watching this closely. >> president biden is watching this from the white house residence. he tested positive for covid again. the fifth day in a row he's been positive with this rebound case. >> more isolation then for president biden. peter doocy, thank you. china's potential security threats against the u.s. are a topic of discussion at the senate judiciary hearing. fbi director christopher wray is the hot seat testing on the topic from the hunter biden probe to protests at justice's homes. david is live at the justice department with more on all of this. what is the latest there? >> big hearing today. with the hunter biden

investigation and director wray was asked about it. the topic he did talk about is a topic he wants to talk about: the threat posed by china we have been talking about with peter at the white house. the director said china is the biggest threat to the united states in espionage. trying to steal what we have in the united states. he made had a mission in 5 years as director to focus on china. how the country is becoming more aggressive on a daily basis when it comes to stealing our information. listen. >> director wray, who is the most significant geo-political foe the united states faces? >> the people's republic of china and the chinese communist party. we are playing catch up on the threat.

>> the director also talked about the big problem plaguing the u.s. . violent crime is up over previous years in major and small cities across the country. he said community outreach must take place to top it. mass shootings are up and the director acknowledged that. he was asked about domestic violence. there were questions about january 6th and this lawsuit filed by more than 90 former gymnasts who sued the fbi for over $1 million over the larry nasher case. >> the director of the fbi refused to talk much about the hunter biden investigation because it is on-going.

were you satisfied with any of the answers in the hearing today? >> well, i like and respect director wray but he is not forthcoming. i understand the importance of protecting an investigation. there are growing concerns about the hunter biden revelations. i agree with former attorney general barr. a special counsel needs to be appointed. the independence of the department of justice has been called into question when they have to visiting investigate the administration they serve in. >> john ratliff was on sunday morning. he said this about whistleblower allegations that the fbi suppressed damaging evidence about hunter biden. >> these fbi agents were attempting to inflown the out

comeof the 2020 election by surpressing information about hunter biden and joe biden. it's a problem when the agency that is responsible for investigatoring those things is engaged in those things. >> what is your take on that? >> well, unfortunately public confidence is undermined when it looks like the fbi or the intelligence community are using the tools they have to keep us safe to do what political spying or investigations. the rank-and-file fbi investigations are honorable people. but a rot was createed in the

agency that i am not sure director wray got rid of. the ones involved in the investigation of the previous administration and all of this cooked up research used against a sitting president. when american people feel like those authorities are used for improper political purposes, it undermines public confidence. that makes them less affectedive. >> president biden has been criticized for a tepid response to china over nancy pelosi's visit and mixed messages as well. do you believe there is any connection between biden's benign language to china and hunter biden's business deal wings that country? >> i don't know the answer to that, john. i know that weakness is a provocation.

putin has taken advantage of this. and president xi perhaps dragging us into a broader military conflict. they are testing president biden. and nancy pelosi comes across a lot tougher than he was. i am glad she made the trip. i was there last november with colleagues as well. they did a lot of sabring but did nothing about it. this is more of the same. but we have to get ready and deter an invasion of taiwan. that's what senator cotton talked about earlier to prevent a war in the first place.

>> i don't know if you heard peter doocy's report. democrats in congress want to strengthen the ties between the united states and taiwan including declaring it a major non-nato ally. the white house is saying, put the brakes on that. fearing raising tensions with chinaing. what should we do in terms of supporting taiwan?. what should we do in terms of supporting taiwan? >> we have a legal relationship with taiwan. we have a duty to provide them the means to defend themselves. they are unprepared. china anticipates that the united states won't intervene. we need to make it clear what our intentions are. president xi needs to know what kind of price he and china would

have to pay if they risk that sort of military conflict. the point of all of this is peace through strength. we need to deter bullies like xi and putin from their act because just trying to beat them once they make a step is not the best way to approach this. >> a major topic of conversation because this is far from over. texas senator john cornyn thanks for joining us. >> thank you. >> we will talk about this with the former national security advisor robert o'brien and talk about brittney griner's sentence of 9 years. he was adept at getting people out of sticky situations. john coming up too. >> yes both were former national security advisor to former

president trump. betters -- brittney griner sentenced to 9 years in prison in russia. griner said she had no intent to break the law and insisted she made an honest mistake. lawyers will appeal the ruling but this is likely tied to discussions between the u.s. and russia over a prison swap. president released a statement saying:

>> civil rights charges against 4 police officers for the death of breonna taylor. her boyfriend shot one officer and they returned fire hitting taylor several times. james was arrested this morning by the fbi. the former police detective was fired for lying on the search warrant that led to that deadly raid. >> the democratic's party risky bet on republican primaries. boosting far right candidates they would be easier to beat in november. katie pavlich has a lot to say on that. >> shocking new data on crime.

10 criminals racking up 500 arrests since the start of soft on crime bail reform laws. now critics including the mayor are demanding a change. >> the definition of insanity is to do the same thing but expect different results. our criminal justice system is insane. driving you crazy? inflammation in your eye might be to blame. time for ache and burn! over-the-counter eye drops typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. those'll probably pass by me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra? no! it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is approved to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. don't use if you're allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye,

saying is this should not help them win votes. let's bring in katie pavlich and a fox news contributor. this is legal? people can donate where they want. but it looks and smells bad according to the "new york times." explain what is happening here. >> [laughing]. well, the democrats spent 44 million dollars through a variety of nonprofits to boost maga republicans in primaries thinking they can beat them in the general election. a couple of problems with this. it's dishonest. and for the past 5 years democrats claimed they are standing up for democracy but pouring tens of million dollars into races to boost what they

call anti-democracy threats to the country to go up their candidated in the general election. is paints a picture that the democrats are not confident in the candidates they are putting up believing they are strong enough to beat the republican candidates in a primary. democrats during the january 6th committee hearings argued that these types of candidates. anybody that believes donald trump is the future of the republican party should not be in office. but they are backing those candidates rather than pushing democratic candidates. they said they did this as a way to try to win in the general election. the fox news poll in june showed that republicans are besting democrats preserving democracy. they are losing on all fronts

mere and claiming to have the high road at the voting box. >> if you look at the results in primaries so far, a number of trump backed candidates are winning. beating out more moderate republicans. we have seen this in maryland. and gop representative lost his seat in michigan. meyer voted to impeach trump. listen to what he said >> we have already seen how democrats have tried to put their thumb on the scale and supported my challenge more than my challenger raised himself.

that's something we are not willing to accept, that degree of meddling. >> we have seen similar victories in arizona and pennsylvania and nevada. is there a way to calculate if the democratic money is helping or did the voters just before these other people? >> well, we have to see when it comes to the districts whether they lean left or are a toss up. the republican reaction like kissinger is upset that the democrats are using tens of million dollars to go after fellow moderate republicans. a lot of these moderate

republicans voted for president trump's impeachment and voters did not like that. the "new york times" is worried that these candidates are that in favor of president trump being the leader of the republican party will win those races. it comes down to the way voters see the issues. democrats are having a record number of retirements. issues like the economy and inflation are on the top of the minds of voters, in a lot of places it's up for grabs. >> no doubt. katie pavlich, we have to leave it there. interesting to see the "new york times" call out the democrats on this. >> you wonder why crime is so bad in america? new data from the nypd shows the same 10 repeat offenders wracked up 500 arrests since new york's bail reform laws went into

effect in 2020. as the "new york post" cover puts it. 10 people and 485 crimes and most are still feel. the new york city mayor is upset. how is the governor kathy hochul responding to this? >> john, governor kathy hochul is defending her administration. but you mentioned that staggering statistic. over 8 million people in this city just 717 people are responsible for 30% of shootings since last year. listen to this. >> our criminal justice system is insane.

it's dangerous. it's harmful and destroying the fabric of our city. our police officers make rests and the person who is arrested for a felony and robberies and gun possession is finding themselves back on the street within days if not hours after the arrest. >> john, look at this. here's the story of one of these repeat ofernandez. -- offenders. one person arrested 101 times including 88 just since bail reform arrests were implemented in 2020. mayor adams called this video the example of the need to roll back bail reform. a teenager beating a new york city police officers 3 days after being released without bail for a robbery arrest.

here is governor kathy hochul responding to critics who say new york is not safe. >> the bail laws were enacted in the budget and became effective on may ninth. every change gives them the tool to work toward increasing public safety. >> the republican gubernatorial candidate said kathy hochul is not doing enough. he tweeted she would fire the district attorney for refusing to back the blue and: we know house republican leader kevin mccarthy is in new york city talking with members of the nypd about the hurdles they face in keeping new yorkers safe. that starts at 2 o'clock. >> one of the other stories we are following is the florida

governor ron desantis took action and suspended the d.a. in a county for being soft on crime. doesn't seem like kathy hochul will do that any time soon. >> party goers recalling their last interactions with being someone before her disappearance 3 decades ago. >> communist china fired a series of missile tests off the taiwan cost. alarming timeline of a potential chinese invasion of the nation. >> do not send a missile across. set a line what have is right and wrong.

>> fox news alert. china begining a 4 day marathon of military drills including missile launches in the waters around taiwan. they are visible from the taiwanese territory. china send a window of opportunity to invade the nation within the next 18 months. robert o'brien, how concerned are you with what is going on with taiwan right now? >> very concerned. these exercises that the communist party of china are engaged with the navy and missile forces are not helpful. they are destabilizing the region. they are using pelosi's visit to taiwan, she can go everywhere she wants. they are using that visit to

further their plans to coerce taiwan in a reunification they have no interest in. >> the missile trails are visible from taiwan which people believe is a warning to the taiwan leaders. here's what rubio said this morning. >> part is to send a clear signal to leaders in taiwan. that is, if we take you by force you won't be able to stop us. you might as well as negotiate with us the terms of your surrender. >> do you think that's the chinese game? >> they would love to coerce taiwan into giving up without a fight. they saw what happened with ukraine and the tough time vladimir putin has it.

i think the taiwanese will fight like heck like the ukrainians have. taiwan is critical to our will being. they control 95% of the computer chips we rely on for cars and military equipment. everything. taiwan is critical to the united states. we would be involved if china attempts to invade taiwan. they would rather coerce taiwan into giving up and convince us there is no point in defending twain. -- taiwan. >> president biden hasn't said a lot about what china is doing. what biden be saying to president xi right now about all of this? >> president biden said 3 times now that the u.s. would defend

taiwan. his staff says no, we would do not that. let biden be biden. he needs to send a clear message to the chinese communist party. two things we need to do immediately, john. number 1, put full sanctions on russia and decouple their economy from the west. china is looking at russia's invasion of ukraine and see the current sanctions which they view as a slap on the wrist. and number 2, we need to ship arms before the war. the idea if we ship them we will provoke the chinese. that's the same thing we said can putin. putin was going in anyway. the chinese have said they are going in.

we need to get them anti-air craft missiles and mines. we need to get that to taiwan now. it it would be hard to resupply them. get that equipment to taiwan now to deter china from an invasion. >> you mentioned vladimir putin. a significant event in russia. the wnba star brittney griner was sentenced to 9 years in jail for bringing into the country marijuana type of substance. you have enormous expertise of getting people out of difficult places like north. korea. how did the u.s. get brittney griner out? was this just russia setting the price? >> russia is trying to up the leverage on the united states. they said when they arrested her, we knew it was not about the drugs. it was a political arrest from

the start. they are trying to put leverage on the biden administration to give them what they want. arms deal or some concessions in ukraine. i know the people that do the negotiations for the biden administration. they are top notch guys. carson is an excellent diplomat. i don't want to talk about things that would interfere with their negotiations. the russia and the chinese are taking american hostages and using them to inintroduce u.s. policy or get their criminals out or get ransom. >> what else are the russians

looking for? >> just trying to up the price. the russian are tough negotiators. among the best in the world. they will try to extract as much as they can. brittney griner is popular with the american people. they want to see her reunited with her wife. she supports biden so he thinks he with put political pressure on biden. they are trying to up the price. it will take hard-nosed negotiations to get her out. i think we will eventually get her out. i am confident that the people are running this to carson. they will work hard to get her home. i think we will see her home, but russians will make it as painful as possible for her and for paul wheel an as there. we need to support our folks working hard to get them home.

the russians are like the iranians and see it can work. >> robert, thanks for joining us today. appreciate it. >> thanks. >> we are learning more about the death of india congresswoman jackie walorski. she and two aids were killed yesterday. tributes are pouring. and mike tobin is live in indiana. what is the latest on this investigation there? >> the county sheriff updated the investigation to say it was the vehicle in which representative walorski that was riding that caused this fatal head on collision. the updated statement reads:

everyone was wearing seat belts and air bags deployed but everyone was killed. the initial reports said the direction of travel wrong and said the other car caused the wreck. the eyewitnesses said it was the congresswoman's car that swerved into on coming traffic. why is a mystery. filling the vacancy that's done by a special election for the remainder of the term. has to be called by the governor. democrats can run a candidate. in the fullterm it's more complicated. walorski won her primary uncontested. the job of filling a vacancy falls to the regional director and that was pots who was also killed in the car crash.

>> such a sad and tragic story. >> that's a horrible score. many americans are going to local pantries or food banks. they are struggling to handle the long line. live coming up. >> and san francisco's new d.a. reversing course on her far left predecessor's sentences guidelines. a crisis ravages the bay area.

with inflation? >> yes, definitely. seeing 250 families a day. >> look at the numbers of the organization feeding america says half of the food banks they deal with are now seeing an increased need. you are almost out of stuff right now. what do you have? >> cucumbers. >> one head of lettuce. >> yes. the amount of stuff we had here earlier, families getting what they can get. to feed their families. it feels great for us to provide for the community. >> normally try to make writers out there journalists. now providing food. you can't write if you don't eat. >> yeah. >> that's for sure. jeff, it's interesting to see how that organization was able to pivot from what they did

before to handing out food. >> it's a need. >> tell them thank you for their efforts and for bringing us that story. >> fox news alert from the "wall street journal" the same parent company as of fox news. the u.s. delayed a test of a missile capable of carrying a nuclear war head to not inflame tensions between the u.s. and china. a spokesman said this is a long planned test but postponeded to remove any misunderstandings with china's abu musab around taiwan.

a lot of not inflaming ever tension on the part of the pentagon going on here. a lot of lawmakers on capitol hill who are saying we should not play soft and loose here with china. we should be direct and say what you are doing with taiwan is unacceptable and result in this. the u.s. posture is to treat them with kid gloves and not try to do anything to set them off. >> the delaying of the testing worked well with russia, right? i don't know why the u.s. thinks that would work well here. >> russia, this is how a responsible nation behaves. we don't fire off tests of nuclear tip weapons. in the middle of a conflict.

this seems specifically to be aimed at not ticking off china. >> do you think it will work? >> well, they have done everything but send president xi flowers. >> that's true. we are moving on. testimony continues today in the kristin smart murder trial. it's been 26 years since she went missing. the last person seen with her in a party in 1996 and his father are standings trial on charges related to her disappearance and death. witnesses described paul flores as creepy. let's bring in a criminal defense attorney. you have followed this case for years. it's unbelievable how this trial is taking place 26 years after

kristin smart's disappearance. earlier this week we heard from students among the last to see her. they also said that she was acting strange that night. not steady on her feet. she looked like she passed out in the back yard but didn't have the smell of alcohol on her breath. what do you make ever that? >> first she was a college student when she disappeared. she was a party. college students maybe don't use the best judgment. but trying to figure out what happened to her, prosecutors to prove that paul flores murdered her, the prosecution has a tough road. why? there is a reason it's been more than a quarter century at bringing the case to trial. for one reason: a lack of evidence to support

the three they paul flores although the last one to be seen with her committed the murder. it's interesting. from the jury's perspective they hear from witnesses available back in 1996. in other words, this trial, if you rewound history this trial could have happened then. why didn't it? a lot of the circumstantial evidence that the prosecution is presenting may or may not lead to some smoking gun. if prosecutors don't have a smoking gun this will be a tough case. evidence doesn't get better with time. it gets worse. where they will take this, we have a long ways to go. this trial is not supposed to end until october. we are in the beginning of august. what else is the prosecution going to give us? >> they have a tough case. the dense has a well known lawyer. robert sanger working on the

case. he worked on high-profile cases like michael jackson and others. kristin smart's mother testified. she said her daughter was struggling at college and having a rough time there. do you think that made her vulnerable to someone looking to take advantage of her? >> it could have. when kids are college age, again, sometimes judgment can go out the window, that doesn't mean that anybody deserves to be murdered or raped or raped. -- or kidnapped. the defendant was also a student. just because you are seen with somebody when they go missing or

someone says you are creepy won't be enough to put a nail in his coffin. the prosecution will need a lot more. i know it's still early. >> we have the timeline up here. showing this case began my of 1996? >> here we for a trial today. if they were able to find a body. there is no body, could they use dna evidence? just a quick answer. >> that's what they need. if they don't have that, they have a real problem. if they have that, even though it's old we can connect the dots. >> all right. thank you very much for your insight. >> the pedal to the metal. los angeles landlords struggling to make ends meet while the

fox digitals a chinese invasion of taiwan could happen before the 2024 election. what is different now is we have intelligence that has done from a nebulous scenario to a window of opportunity in the next 18 months. i don't think that's a coincide that the window of opportunity is within the biden administration. the biden administration still refuses to say whether or not speaker's pelosi's trip to taiwan was worth all of this trouble. >> we respect her decision to make that trip. we provided support. we helped her get there in terms of transportation. but beijing didn't have to react this way to what is a completely normal travel by congressional members to taiwan. the chinese are the ones who are

escalating this. >> president biden is virtually talking to ceos and members of his economic team about the inflation reduction act. he remains isolated in the residence with covid. >> anita: peter doocy live at the white house, thank you. >> john: let's bring in the wyoming center john. a member of the senate foreign relations committee. this live fire exercise surrounding the island of taiwan, what do you think china's game is here? >> china is displaying strength at a time when president biden displayed weakness. they will take full advantage of it. china wants taiwan, and it's the apple of their eye. the weakness of this administration in afghanistan and the slowness and response to putin and ukraine and going hat

in hand to saudi arabia asking for oil. that makes the invasion by taiwan by china greater while joe biden is still in the white house. yesterday the administration tried to drag its feet and did on something called the taiwan policy act. it was to name taiwan as a major non-nato ally of the united states and others. the democrats were forced to stop it because biden didn't want to move forward when we had bipartisan support going in. >> anita: we have yet to hear anything about any of this including pelosi's trip in the first place. the china foreign ministry called her trip manic and irresponsible. they say the punishment, these exercises are lawful. if the white house could go back and redo this, should they have

said something when china threatened speaker pelosi in the first place? >> absolutely. i supported speaker pelosi's trip. 25 republican senators came out with a statement supporting speaker pelosi. think about that. i have been to taiwan to see other presidents. tom cotton and dan sullivan and lindsey graham were part of. china put out statements. the bottom line is what we have now is china is more aggressive since president of taiwan beat the communist chinese candidate in 2015. 25 republicans senators are standing with speaker pelosi and the president doesn't say a thing. that's upside down. >> anita: if the white house condemned's china's threats against speaker pelosi do you think we would see these same

military exercises? >> no, not at all. when xi or anyone sees weakness they go at it. the president needs to show backbone. china is watching what is happening with russia and ukraine. we need to make sure ukraine has the weapons to defeat russia. they are looking at what weapons taiwan has. the united states has to make sure taiwan has the weapons they need. we need to prevent war and make it painful if china goes after taiwan. >> john: we talked about the biden administration's response to this. we had a congressman from michigan on earlier. he said in the face of increased chinese aggression, the biden administration needs to

recalibrate spending priorities. listen. >> i would urge my senate colleges passing half a trillion dollars of america pork barrel spending pass the national defense authorization act which include authorities to provide munitions to the commander and stockpiling key weapons designed to prevent a war. >> john: you can see the chinese missile going up in easy sight of taiwan and the administration is pursuing green agenda and spending more money that will lead to more inflation. should we spend more money on arming taiwan? >> it is world is getting more and more dangerous. we need to make sure that taiwan has what it needs in terms of anti-aircraft to prevent anything from china.

that will take a while. what we have happening now on the floor of the united states senates is massive taxing and spending by the democrats. they want to raise taxes in the middle of a rekegs and we are in 40 year high inflation. families can't keep up.cession e in 40 year high inflation. families can't keep up. the administration wants to do things that will make it worse for american families. >> john: thank you. florida governor ron desantis taking action that they programs will cause a media liberal meltdown. >> anita: what ron desantis said the liberal state attorney neglected his duties and soros

backing of a far left district attorney. he said soft on crime policies have not caused an uptick in crime. our next guest says this is infuriating. she lost her husband who was killed in the line of duty serving an arrest warrant in 2020. prosecutor said the killers were armed and dangerous drug dealers who should have been in jail. if not for the far left philadelphia district attorney's bail policies. you argued and terry we are sorry for your loss. you argued it was the soft on crime policies from the local d.a. that were responsible for your husband's death. >> correct. thanks for having me. my husband was killed march 13, 2020 by 4 men who had lengthy

criminal records for guns, murders. i could go on and on about it. they werelet out of jail repeatedly because of our district attorney and his lenient policies. if they were locked up my husband would still be here today. >> john: this is one ever many district attorneys backed by george soros. soros himself sent an op-ed to the wall street to depend his policies. and said in the "wall street journal": it urge that we treat drug addiction as a disease and not

a crime. on the surface that seems admirable but that's not what is happening. we have a resolving door system of justice where criminals are promptly released to go out and commit more crimes. >> correct. in philadelphia everything is an all time high. murder rate at 327 already. on pace to be ahead of last year. it was our deadliest year in 7 years. 5 years ago there were under 200 carjackings. we have a d.a. who won't prosecute people stealing from stores under $1,000 and small stores have to close. >> john: listen who new york

city mayor eric adams said yesterday. >> our criminal justice system is insane. it's dangerous and destroying the fabric of our city. time and time again our police officers make arrests and the person who is arrested for felonies and robberies and gun possession find themselves back on the street within days if not hours after their arrest. they go on to commit more crimes within weeks if not days. >> john: if you could offer a rebuttal to george soros on the air on fox news what would you say? >> it's not working. who thinks this system of giving people more chances is working? our city is not safe. it hasn't been safe for quite sometime. younger victims are shot and killed every day.

it's because they arelet out again and again? >> every time it happens you see their arrest records. it's disgusting how many priors they have. they are not kept behind bars. >> john: state charges were filed against the people who took the life of your husband and federal charges were also filed that could end with the death penalty. the federal jumping in gave you greater hope they may be brought to justice? >> absolutely. taking this job out of our district attorney's hands. we have seen he goes behind people's backs and makes deals without telling anybody. i would be sure someone would be out on the street already. i am thankful they are in

federal prison at this time. >> john: again, so sorry for your loss. thank you for coming on and sharing your thoughts. >> i appreciate it. >> john: all right. you can imagine. her dear husband who was a swat officer. one of those people on the front lines of keeping the community safe killed by people let out of jail even though they had a long list of priors. it's heard breaking. -- heart breaking and frustrating and it's just down right maddening. >> anita: yes. i agree. you have to keep in mind. bodine was recalled and gascon in l.a. up for a recall and "l.a. times" criticized the

recall process but it's the only resource the voters have. >> john: in some states there is no recall process so it's up to the governor to remove these people as we saw in florida. voters have a say every 4 years. other than that they don't. >> anita: we will see what happens. >> john: our top story heading into the bottom of the hour. china surrounding taiwan for drills not seen in decades. is this just the beginning of what lies ahead? i brought in ensure max protein with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. uhh... here, i'll take that! yay!!! ensure max protein, with 30 grams of protein, 1 gram of sugar enter powered by protein challenge for a chance to win big! new projects means new project managers.

there. these blue boxes are from the last taiwan straits crisis in 1995 after a president visited them and china got its nose out of joint. they were much more subdued than now. look at these areas where china is conducting live fire drills just off the coast of taiwan. sending a strong message to taiwan. >> china's military power expanded greatly. their objective is to show that military power can lockout the u.s. or anybody else trying to help taiwan. this will back fire. the taiwanese will be disgusted. we will see that china has an aggressive mind set.

xi jingping focussed on his domestic audience back home. >> let's go to the next photograph. these from chinese ships just off the coast of taiwan. you have to think what the heck is going on? is china saying we have all of this military might? taiwan you might want to enter into negotiations to be part of china. >> is a picture of chinese coercion. a couple of points. 1, china has zero recent combat experience. that's important. also they have been more conservative in other targeting. some of the islands where they dropped missile. they shelled them since the 1950s on and off. the 20 jets in taiwan's air

he portrayed the nightmare scenario. if china takes over taiwan, this whole area and south through the south china sea will be off limits to the u.s. military. that will be really, really bad. >> right. we have to get defenses into taiwan now. china is not ready to do this seizure right now. they are trying to show they are closer. they are not ready. we still have time to do deter but we have to make very strong policy to deter this and make sure this is the worst we ever see. >> john: great to see you back. one crisis after another. >> anita: the concerns over china go beyond the military. the communist nation dominating the u.s. in critical areas. adding to that republicans say the democrats social spending bill will widen the gap even

a moratorium on renters. they got to stay. they told the landlords don't charge them. okay? that was 2.5 years ago. no one went up to the banks saying you know the loans the landlords took out. they have to make those payments. they said you will get rerelief. that came and went. the pandemic is over. the cdc is changing regulations. we are moving through with it. the boosters don't work and vaccine is infective except to reduce symptoms. if los angeles that was supposed to go away last year. but the city council voted to extend it to june 30th. then they voted it to extend it to december of this year. how do the landlords make payments?
