9:30 pm
news news use right here on our to america. ah, and we begin with the rising tension between china and taiwan. high ones, foreign minister saying his country won't fight to the end against the chinese invasion of the island. but it remains to be seen just how involved the united states would be. artes john hoodie has more as china continues to send fighter jets over the strait of taiwan in a show of force and a message to taiwan and its allies. the islands, foreign minister had his own warning to beijing speaking to abc, australia's china tonight, taiwanese foreign minister, joseph woo, said quote, if china is going to launch a war against taiwan, we will fight to the end. and that is our commitment will warn that his nation is preparing for war and urged australia to increase its intelligence sharing and
9:31 pm
security cooperation with taiwan. china has deployed 150 military aircraft, including fighter jets and nuclear capable bombers into ty, ones, air difference identification zone, or a d i z since october 1st. ty wants defense minister said it was the most serious cross straight military tension in the more than 40 years. he's been in the military warning that china could launch a full scale invasion of the island by 2025. u. s. officials warned the threats could trigger an accidental conflict. and wall street journal reports the u. s. deployed a contingent of us special forces troops and u. s. marines to taiwan to help train taiwanese military forces. still, president biden has said he and his counterpart, chinese president, jean ping have agree to abide by the quote unquote taiwan agreement. washington's long standing one china policy regarding taiwan, though the extent of dialogue between the u. s. and china remains unclear as both
9:32 pm
us and chinese officials are meeting in europe. so perhaps for now, it appears china's actions are more a strong message than a signal that it's preparing for war. but taiwan remains concerned. none the less that china's actions will ultimately speak louder than its words for news. use hughes john, honey. okay, folks in joining me now to talk about this very serious situation is from a navy intelligence officer, john jordan. john, good to see you. it was very sobering. to hear the foreign minister of taiwan, say that if, if this situation with china results in war, taiwan will fight to the very end. there's just something about hearing those words will certainly of, in such a war, china would have to be the aggressor would have to be a chinese for amphibious forced entry assault on the island of taiwan. a country of 24000000 people were an island of 24000000 people go to the one china policy. yeah, it's 24000000 people do not. apparently want to live under the rule of the chinese
9:33 pm
communist parties is not surprising. the said they would resist to the end. but remember, if there is war, the only way there's a war is if china seeks to attack and occupy charge of taiwan by force. well, i absolutely. there's no way that taiwan is going to initiate anything. it's interesting, you know, secretary of state tony blinking has warned china that this whole situation could accidentally escalate into a military conflict of china continues with the aggression and sending the planes over. what are the chances of someone misreading something or some kind of accidental interpretation of the provocation by china that could result in, in consequences here. yeah, that's a great question and some great reporting by john honey. and there too, every time the way to think of it is this way. every time china initiates one of these overflights with a reconnaissance package or something. it looks like
9:34 pm
a strike package. it's essentially a roll of the dice that their intentions are correctly. they're correctly interpreted by the taiwanese and that basically some of the pilots on both sides make the correct judgment. because once these flights happen, whether or not there's a shots fired is out of the hands of the policy makers in either taipei or beijing . it's in the hands of those lieutenants and captains flying those airplanes. and the mistake by any one of those guys at the lower levels on either side could result in, at best a serious, international incident, or at worst, a regional war. right. let me, let me ask you a multi part question here. what would the role of the usb, if this did become a military battle? and what is china think our role would be under by do they? do they see this as an opportunity to act? if they want to act in this post trump administration,
9:35 pm
that's a great question and that still it down to being the post afghanistan time frame because that through, in the doubt all us commitments on ever and foreign leaders from time from not only beijing, but up young and to ron are all now trying to understand the limits of american commitments because afghanistan changed the world's understanding of the united states. so now that china is trying to best understand what is the u. s. to them, and they're doing it by testing american and taiwanese resolve with these flights because that's something they wanna understand before they really start to push the envelope. they want to understand what those limits are and how far they can go to in pursuing their aims without risking a war because they don't think beijing wants to risk a war, at least not one by accident. so, so that's, that's, that's really where we are and any, any miscalculation by their side can be really dangerous. sd, at the cia director william birds announced recently a series of organizational changes. and that includes a launch of 2 new mission centers. one focused on china,
9:36 pm
another dedicated to transitional and technological threats, which involves china as well. probably, he says, the china mission centers strengthens our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat. we face of the 21st century and increasingly adversarial chinese government. how helpful will this mission center be and, and how, how tough are we on china right now compared to donald trump's administration? got about a minute. okay, well 1st of all that the c i is basically kind of a mess right now. they spent years going after russian collusion with under the trump administration, being politically woke and so forth. and so now they're trying to stand up these 2 centers in, but it's a lot, but a lot more than that. you have to train office intelligence officers to understand the environment, china, you have to grow a lot of people who are fluent in mandarin, a notoriously difficult language, and the tourist alien culture. so standing that up just bureaucratically is one thing, and that may look good in the papers,
9:37 pm
but building out the human infrastructure necessary for intelligence gathering. is another matter entirely. yeah, john jordan, always great to talk to you, sir. thank you for coming on in a small michigan town officials, they were telling residents to avoid using tap water and instead drink or cook with only bottled water because of lead concerns ortiz. trinity chavez reports today in michigan urging residents of vent and harbor to use bottled waters for cooking and drinking a major shift in response to elevate levels of lead. while the state has been making free bottled waters and filters available in the area for a few weeks and an announcement on wednesday, it's the 1st time that authorities have recommended residents reduce their use of tap water. last month, the state was going door to door to distribute filters and it's late a statement. but now federal regulators are reviewing how effected the filters are in removing lead from water at certain levels. the states have more than $15000.00
9:38 pm
cases of water will be delivered in the coming days to the mostly black american community vent in harbor, which is 89 percent african american is now the 2nd major michigan city to move bottled water at the urgency of the state clinton dirt water crisis that garnered national attention about 5 years ago after homes showed excessive lead levels when it was improperly treated with corrosion controls, following a switch to corrosive flint river water. at one point, the environmental protection agency found lead levels as high as $13000.00 parts per 1000000000. there the water change was considered a possible cause of an outbreak of legionnaires disease in the county that killed 12 people and affected another 87. a total of 9 former michigan officials, including ex governor, rick snyder, snyder's top aid and his chief of staff, as well as both states top doctor and health official during the crisis were charged in the flint water scandal for news views. hughes, trinity chavez, r t. r folks don't go anywhere because when we come back we ask our paddle about
9:39 pm
the fate of job wives agenda and disgust the media's reaction to a high school shooting and texas don't go away. i see on the internet the allows all the problems and much was to invite everybody's lloyd. that wasn't do it. that was the people who designed the internet is all in a feature on the way of life of reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. while the main drive the carry, the weight of the household work on their shoulders rather than make sure that she met with. however, in the vast expanse of russia,
9:40 pm
there is a spot where a house wife could secure a regular employment status. it's in the fall semester with ah, and i make no borders line to tease and use as a marriage. we don't have a therapy. we don't have a vaccine. the whole world needs to take action and be ready. people are judgment, common crisis with we can do better, we should be better. everyone is contributing each in their own way. but we also
9:41 pm
know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenge is great, the response has been massive. so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together with for the bike administration's decision to leave, afghanistan was correct in long overdue. however, the way america's longest war ended is a different question. it was a botched affair. the generals will most likely never be held to account, but alone marine lieutenant colonel does face court martial. is this justice? ah, ah. okay, welcome back folks. there was a shooting at a high school in arlington,
9:42 pm
texas. yesterday i want you to take a look at this quote from m s n b c. i don't have to tell you, texas has some of the most permissive gun laws in the country. you've got a potentially an 18 year old with a hand gun at school. what do you make of the situation on the ground in texas as relates to weapons laws and how it may or may not impact the violence like this that we see in a suburban high school? that was emma, said b c's. garrett take blaming texas garden laws for a high school shooting in arlington, texas, yesterday. well, before all the facts were even in but for the media, that's standard operating procedure when it comes to to stories on guns. joining me to discuss this is retired chief deputy us marshall matthew, fog. matthew, thank you for joining me. the shooting took place at timber view high school in arlington for people were injured in the incident. eventually the suspect turned himself in, or he was in fact an 18 year old timothy a simpkins. and he's been arrested. his family claims that he had been bullied in
9:43 pm
rob twice at the school in the past. and the shooting took place after a fight broke out. now none of that as an excuse to pull a gun and shoot anybody. what's your take on what took place on the ground and that emerson b. c. reaction that i read before we knew really anything about, you know, what really happened? well, reality is, we got more guns american than they are our citizens in america. so we've got guns really to get man voids out of us. so we look at the state of texas does probably look more accessible in texas anywhere else, one of the highest, they come down to be the own guns. but when you started about an estimate like this, that where somebody will get angry, upset, and get a guy and go to school any other way? use it. that's the difficult part of it. now, because we're seeing that just this school, but many schools where kids and people are bringing guys to the schools and what we
9:44 pm
do. and i think the only thing i can suggest nafrica and kat, sorry out the bad meet some of the number of the guns on the street, the america due to the 2nd amendment. and people killing them are right and bear arms. anybody can bear. and now, so the bottom line is, security messages have to be beat your do at the schools now because it's like this can happen at any given time. and if it's out of here, it's able to get ahold of a current one in house. so you can, you really, you got anywhere in america, you really want one, you can get it in bringing it to the school. so that kind of security measures, you know, right. while the same, the same people on the left that call for a common sense gun laws that are, you know, right, rushing to judgment here. they don't want cops in the schools. they don't want that . they don't want to see a police officer in a school at all, or a security guard or anything. so you're kind of up against it there. and by the way,
9:45 pm
speaking of common sense gun laws, there are 20000 gun laws on the books in this country all over the country. and what they're really calling for when they say that is more restrictions on law abiding citizens. because it's, you know, all the was in the world won't stop a criminal with intent. they break by definition. that's exactly right, man. and the bottom line is, it really wants to get ahold of a guy just like they want to drug. any other thing in this country that's illegal, they can get it. so the reality is, what do we do now, like i said, the problem is we get, we get statistics and it's specific. so it more like it american people in this country. so the reality of it isn't the only way you're going to stop this now that so many guns out is you gotta tight. now your security made and whether it is people don't like it. i mean, in reality, it's out of somebody about sac understand a whole lot better,
9:46 pm
but we don't want that to happen. so the active is that's what you're going to have to start doing them. so we know those guns and didn't come up with a lot that how we could get these guys off this free like back programs to try to back as many guys obviously. but if super available, well, i'd like to see and i'm not saying in this case, i mean, i'm not going to prejudge this case, but i'd like to see the people and it goes beyond schools. we're talking about a school shooting here because it happened yesterday. thank god, nobody was killed, but i look at that there's a case in chicago where, where you see video of 4 guys getting out of 2 cars shooting into a house. the house fires back someone in the house got killed and the prod be the, the prosecutor in chicago. much to the chagrin of the mayor is not good. a file shot which is against anybody unless you in my view, unless you lock these people up who use guns in the commission of crimes,
9:47 pm
it's never going to end. i don't know if i don't know if filling out g o is the answer. per se, i mean, i do understand what the problem is. we've got a lot of people in our deals now that on net balance criminals, they just trying to something drugs or whatever. but so yes, if you actually handle a gun and do something like that. yeah, i think this would be some penalty for you, but the reality of it is we just gotta figure out a way to get it off the screen and get and, and somebody says maybe psychological. there are a lot of psychological needs to come down to people getting angry and why they're mad. and how are you asking me, this is, how did it get to this point where somebody felt like they needed to bring a gun in order to, to handle the situation. so these, all the things that scientology need to look at, but it's a problem that the cats already out the bag, the guns in there and the available. yep. well, i'll just, and i'll get the last word. it's not fair. but to me, once upon
9:48 pm
a time in the crime bill under bill clinton, it never, it got taken out, but it was in there before it was voted on. you use a gun in the commission of a crime. you get locked up for 10 years. you fire the gun in the commission of a crime 20 years watch that be a deterrent to the thugs on the street. so we use guns just randomly and for no reason at all. anyway, thank you. report. always, always a pleasure to talk to you matthew. thank you. bye folks, the latest polls are out and they appear to spell trouble for joe biden. and the democrats, this says west virginia sen, democrat, joe mansion who's one of the impediments to the by the agenda. spells out his philosophical differences with his own party. here to discuss is the political panel, democrat commentator jen rawness and former colorado state lawmaker to harvard. great to see both of you gentlemen. let's get to it. why don't we watch this? these new poll numbers, frankly, are brutal for the president in this brand new quinet p,
9:49 pm
like paul only 38 percent of americans approve of how biden is handling his job, compared to 53 percent who disapprove. that's the lowest approval rating. biden has had since taking office and it must have broke jake tapper is hard on cnn to report that and to report this watch. now the striking number, only 39 percent of americans approve of biden's handling of the economy. and one of the most damning results of all more than half of the american people 55 percent, say the by the administration is not competence. and running the government. i'm surprised that numbers that high for approval. jan. what's your take on not on these polls, which have been pretty consistent will embrace my heart to hear it in. so look back to matters. this is brutal, it's my good news is i, you know, the midterm elections are a year out. and at this point, something better happened, they go to write the ship because the democrats are going to suffer a loss that they can't afford to lose given to close the account in both the house
9:50 pm
and the senate. lot of things should happen between now and then something better happen and it better happen quick because what she's going to be upon is pretty soon. so, you know, i, i don't, i can't account for it. i mean, obvious, she, afghanistan was devastating to the president. the fact that he cannot move through the house and senate, which are both controlled by his party. these very important bills that he promised american public, he would, as a factory world, maybe something will happen on one of those reach will certainly get on afghanistan is certainly on the schools that are pending. and it may change the course of the election. while tag i, you know, it's even on the economy that the public is, is dissatisfied, and the lack of confidence that this administration, you know, is, is, is prepared to, to be calm or is competent. those are very devastating numbers. well, i think there are surprising numbers, not because that the president is under water,
9:51 pm
but that so many people still supportive as partisan is you get, but i still want my country to be successful. i want to have protected sovereign borders where our government actually wants to stop an invasion of our country. i want to have our military and our civil servants overseas being protected and not being deserted by their government, which is what we're seeing and, and certainly the administration does not alone. it's, it's, you look what's going on in congress right now where the radical left in this country controls congress and they're pushing through one of the most irresponsible expansions of the federal government. we've ever seen $3.00 trillion dollars at a minimum, some say 5 trillion dollars at a time. when our government has spent upwards to 30 trillion dollars in debt, the, the economy is going to implode if we don't have some fiscal responsibility. and
9:52 pm
nobody in washington d. c is willing to do that. so i'm surprised that the numbers are as high as they are, because nobody should think that what this administration has been doing a successful in any way whatsoever. you mentioned the, the biden agenda. you mentioned that to the $3500000000.00 bill. i want you to watch what joe mentioned, both of you watch what your mansion said yesterday. i don't believe that we should turn our society into an entitlement society. i think we should still be a compassionate, rewarding society. i think that fairs best for all of now mansion, making it clear that not only is the against the spending of trillions on the by the agenda. he wants it down to 1.5, not 3.5 trillion, but he's basically against the whole biden agenda, which is free. everything for almost everyone. now, bernie sanders today ripped what mansion had to say ripped him for his choice of words. how problematic is this for the progressive agenda that biden has either
9:53 pm
decided to champion or has been instructed to champion jan? well, listen, i will respect this intervention from west virginia. i'd say he's for high school in so they'd be concerned always bring up the issue of word entitlement nation. but yet conservatives are usually the biggest beneficiary and whatever and title one is all down by watching to see most evidence by the national tax cuts under president trump and, and those under president bush, a couple of administrations before him. so when it comes to cutting taxes, it's always real responsible. you know, in the concern is when it comes to brash helping preschoolers and helping families that can afford daycare and helping young people, helping young people that want to go to community college can't afford to do so. all of a sudden we're an entire nation. so i would say with respected sen, mention that the lack of compassion show my concern is in the stretching when it
9:54 pm
comes to people who have been excluded from the largest that the government used to bestow on them is, is hypocritical. i dont know, ted, i mean they already pulled up to is a boat and protested against mansion. what are they gonna do next? follow went to the bathroom. well, the left certainly will be as aggressive as they think they need to be. and i would like to argue with your, your lead in there that joe mansion is being the captain. he's buckling to the pressure. he said he would not support this bill. and now he's saying, well, maybe i'll support $1.00 trillion dollars. that's $1.00 trillion dollars over the 4 trillion dollars that this congress has already passed in the 1st 7 months of this session. we, our economy cannot allow any more money being printed not spend printed to be able to pay for this irresponsible plan. but what's in the irresponsible plan this administration is saying in this bill that they're going to spend $80000000.00 for
9:55 pm
new i r s. agents and require every bank, every credit union, every lender out there to say to give to the i r s. and all information for anybody who spends or brings in more than $600.00. so every time you write a $600.00 check, the iris gets to know that that's the most outrageous abuse of privacy that i've ever seen. yet this administration and the radical leftist in washington d. c. want to do that. they want to have that much power over you and me. what we do with our n magic jet, jen, you want to respond to ted? well, the $600.00 part might be a little silly, but it's again, it's always the conservatives in the people with money. not that officers have money, but generally, people with money don't like the expansion of the iris authority. and you know, to investigate why you're not fit $600.00 transaction $600.00
9:56 pm
a branch people with money with money more than the fact that the irish may be after them to pay their fair share. a $100.00 more fair share. well again, i don't agree, did you have to agree? i agree and maybe well we'll have you guys back to we can continue this at another time. we've got to get back. thank you both very much appreciate it. and that's all the time we have for today. and for this show and more download the portable tv app for your apple or android device tonight. thanks for watching. ah, these people learn from their own experience, how vulnerable of business is to the bank. so he pushed my business over, the age,
9:57 pm
pushes me right to the edge, bankruptcy. now i realize we were good. this isn't just the back that may be involved in this is the concept. see, firms is, is the lawyers, these people have got want on their stories. ottawa kind of whistle blower. tell people's marriages have broken up, lost their family homes. it is spectacularly devastating for people's lives. they have committed suicide, but left behind norwich. they explicitly, steve, that it was the constant intimidation and grueling by buying coffee sauce that late them to i took the spy, obscene these people up, nor saw policy makers in the federal reserve bank and joe biden. the president, thanks. america has so fricken stupid that they can make them believe that picking
9:58 pm
up a worthless, shiny round object. and going hocus pocus over it magically turns it into a trillion dollars that the gang can deposit at the, at the federal reserve or the treasury to somehow mitigate that $300000000.00 debt crisis. ah ah ah,
9:59 pm
these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger and survive something on survival. one of the hardest things that i had to face was not having a face adult expectation to life. i accepted that accept the fact that i made that work. we had no fears, dell change pretty fast for shots, different stories behind the bullets. l look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except where such order that conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence at the point, obviously is to create trust rather than fear i would like to take on various jobs with artificial intelligence,
10:00 pm
real summoning with a robot must protect its own existence with with frances how again the facebook whistle blow hate these house to congress, how the social network is harming young people and stuck into their journey is now being accused of bias. pass on to a to mash that she has significant ties with close her files account to request to the global chemical weapons watched all after the you ask some questions about the alleged poisoning of kremlin critic alex say no, only despite the o p c, w still refusing to cooperate with the rush, i would have we have fast current from rushes, i'm going to the voted.
