napoli, comedy is a legal experts on the year or key of source. if this does not happen, i will say, i'm afraid we should to think about a polish for the month. the same way that the, for a new was that was done in the britain in january of this year. because otherwise i'll just in the deadlock, we are, we are just unable to move for wars. and the cries is still will to my understanding the only increase over the next mouse, because we have seen so many crisis now with as so many tensions between the european union and the poll and over the last year. okay, that brings you up today. don't forget, you can check out more news on our website at to r t dot com. mm hm

. with as the tension between china and taiwan heats up, the taiwanese foreign minister vows that if it comes to war, this country will quite to the end. meanwhile, the u. s. is one, china to stop line war planes toward taiwan, saying it increases the risk of an accidental confrontation which could have disastrous effect. your binds approval ratings are thanking with one poll, putting the sinking number just 38 percent. and the democrat running for governor of virginia is blaming by blow popularity. right? there's disappointing numbers. we'll talk about that and more with the political panel and a shooting at a texas high school. had the media jumping to conclusions before any of the facts were in, as the cdc investigate gun violence is

a health hazard. what could it mean for the 2nd amendment? we'll discuss hello everyone, i'm see balls burg prescribing. they'll use on today's edition a news views 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 well 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 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 the 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 tile on 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 u. s. 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 according to the one china policy . yeah, 24000000 people do not apparently want to live under the rule of the chinese communist parties is not surprising. the said they would resist to the end. but remember, if there is a 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 above the provocation by china that could result in, in consequences here. yeah, that's a great question of 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 of package or something that looks like 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 shina 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, that's a great question and that still it down to being the post afghanistan timeframe. because that threw into 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 resolved 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 i 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 at 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, 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? 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, 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 ally bottled water because of lead concerns ortiz. trinity chavez reports today in michigan urging residents of bent 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 effective the filters are in removing land from water at certain levels. the state said more than $15000.00 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 wasn't properly 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, our t. r. folks don't go anywhere because when we come back we ask our paddle about the fate of jo biden's agenda and disgust the media's reaction to a high school shooting and texas. don't go away. ah, i'm a new let's see on the internet that allows all the problems and much was ok to invite everybody's lloyd. that wasn't good. that was good for each of the people who is going to be in that zone by the way of life of reindeer herders leading. and traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the

tundra is similar to a parallel reality. while the main drive, the women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders, rather than make sure that she now your plan does no, it's not. however, in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where a house wife could secure regular employment status. it's in the fall semester with ah ah

okay, welcome back folks. there was a shooting at a high school in arlington, texas yesterday and 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. gotten 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 u. s. 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 rob twice at the school in the past. and the shooting took place after a fight broke out. now none of that is an excuse to pull a gun and shoot anybody. what's your take on what took place on the ground and that emmis nbc reaction that i read before we knew really anything about you know, what really happened? well, reality is we got more guns on a route american than they are citizens in america. so we, you know, really to get man boy out of us. so we look at the state of texas. does probably look accessible in texas anywhere else, one of the highest, they come down to be the own god. but when you talk about an estimate like this, that where somebody will get angry, upset, and get

a guy and go to school any other way. 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 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, 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 as you know, all the was in the world won't stop a criminal with intent. they break was by definition that's exactly right man. and the bottom line is in, so i really want 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 they showed 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 it a whole lot better, but we don't want that to happen. so i don't think active is that's what you're going to start doing now. and 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 program to try to back me guys. super 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 kill. what i look at that there was a case in chicago where, where you see video of 4 guys getting out a 2 car shooting into a house. the house fires back. someone in the house got killed and the prod be 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, it's never going to end. i don't know if i don't know filling out zeroes up is the answer for say, i mean i, i do understand what the problem is. we've got a lot of people in our deals now that on net balance from those, they just charge into something drugs or whatever. but so yes, if you actually and the live gun and shoot. okay. all of you something like that. yeah, i think this would be some penalties for you, but the reality of it is we just gotta figure out a waiting is guns off the street and get and check. and somebody said maybe psychological. there are a lot of psychological things when it comes down to people getting angry and why they're mad and how we addressing these issues. how did it get to this point where somebody for a life they needed to bring a gun in order to to handle the situation. so these, all the things that a psychologist need look at, but it's

a problem that is to catch already out the bag. the guns are there and deal. yep. well, i'll just, and i'll get the last word and it's not fair. but to me, a once upon a time in the crime bill under bill clinton, it never did way it got taken out. but it was in there before it was voted on. you use a gun and a commission of a crime. he had 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 to would use guns just randomly and, and for no reason at all. anyway, thank you for your input. always, always a pleasure to talk to matthew. thank you folks. the latest polls are out and they appear to spell trouble for joe biden. and the democrats, this as west virginia, senator democrat, joe mansion who is one of the impediments to the biden agenda, spells out his philosophical differences with his own party. here to discuss is the political panel, democratic commentator, jan rawness and former colorado state lawmaker, taylor harvey. 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, 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 tappers 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, they mitchell elections are a year out. and at this point,

something better happened, they got to write the ship because the democrats are going to suffer a loss that they can't afford to lose. given the close count and both the house and the senate. a 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 the factors, world, maybe something will happen on one of those reach was certainly can on afghanistan is certainly on these are pity. and that may change the course of the election while tact 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 they're surprising numbers, not because that the president is under water, but that so many people still supportive. you know, i just, 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 say 5 trillion dollars at a time when our government has spent upwards to 30 trillion dollars in debt and the

economy is going to implode if we don't have some fiscal responsibility and nobody in washington dc 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 the $3500000.00 bill. i want you to watch what joe mentioned. both of you watch what you'll mention 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 is 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 is either 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 the concern is always bring up the issue of word entitlement nation. but yet conservatives are usually the biggest beneficiary of whatever entitlement is all about my why she, she 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 view of the conservatives when it comes to brash, helping preschoolers and, and helping families that can afford daycare and helping young people, helping young people that want to go to community college. i can't afford do so all of a sudden weren't inside of a nation. so i was able to respected sen mentioned that the lack of compassion show

my concern is in this stretching when it comes to people who have been excluded from the largest and 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 is 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 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. ready a branch, people with money, with money more than the fact that the irish may be after them to pay their fair share of our fair share. well, you know what i would 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 i hope 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.

these are the 4 people who pulled the trigger or 5 something on survival. one of the hardest things that i had to face was not having a face at a low expectation to life. i accepted accept the fact that i made that we had no fears. gl changed pretty fast for shots, different stories behind the bullets. and the way of life of reindeer herders leading a traditionally nomadic lifestyle in the tundra is similar to a parallel reality. while the men drive the hood, women carry the weight of the household work on their shoulders rather than with full stress windows sheet. now, this will york city globally thinking, however, in the vast expanse of russia, there is a spot where

a house wife could secure regular employment status. it's in the fall semester. i'm not sure. i'm not sure what i'm like. and usually just fiddle with imagine picking up a future textbook on the early years of the 21st century. what are the chapters called gun violence school shootings, homelessness 1st, it was my job and then it was my family. dealing with my siblings. i have nothing. i have nothing and it's not like i don't try. i look for resources, i look for jobs, i look for everything i can to make this pass. and i end up doing is passing the road to the american dream paved with dead refugees. it's this very idealized image of this. older america makes americans look past the deaths that happen every
