ministration so joining me now on the couch at all the film bus co-host and investigative journalist ben swan all right ben let's start with where beijing stands here what has caused so much anger on their side. yeah if you listen to those that you just played they had a whole list of things they were angry about right but what this really comes down to is the fact that about a month ago my pompei o secretary of state talked about the u.s. relationship with taiwan which as you probably know is that is a huge issue for china right so the united states has for the last many decades at least 40 years really not had a normalized relationship with taiwan that they have something they call the one china policy which we just centrally recognize that china is as one official government taiwan of course as they are the actual official government of china there's a whole dispute between china and taiwan over this but what the troubling ministration has done for the last few years is they have in many ways normalized a relationship with taiwan that other administrations have not normalized so for instance s

all countries. joining me now to discuss been west coast ambassador journalist ben swan a ban what does this mean for the u.s. and china. well it means a few things 1st of all you have to consider the fact that when we're talking about the u.s. and china and china has been taking as we've talked about on the show many times before a more prominent role worldwide and what does that ultimately mean well it means that more finance is being directed their foreign investment is being directed there and the converse of that china is making greater investments worldwide into other countries their road and build initiative obviously has been able to really expand their reach and influence around the world certainly with countries around the world that in the past the united states have more influence over so we're really watching kind of a shift in that in that power dynamic the u.s. which still holds the world's reserve currency i don't expect to see that change anytime soon but what we still hold that the us finds itself increasingly running behind china and that's somewhat problematic especially if you're

for confirmation of this let me go to ben swan he's my colleague better a journalist host of boom bust and he has diligently been following this story all day long ben bring us up to date. yes so as you mentioned rick it's a much quieter minus the police sirens here right there but there are very few people out right now no you know the last time we came to you all we got cut off because capitol police were moving everyone out what was happening at that moment was we saw the capitol police come essentially with their right shields and they moved everyone off the lawn of the capitol building and a large group of several 100 people remained in the street right in front and as they were in front of becoming increasingly agitated extremely angry. i want to say this you know when you i was in baltimore i was in ferguson when those riots happened there and i know you and your guests were talking earlier about what was happening and how to compare that to the kind of anger that i saw in those places is very similar rick to what i saw tonight in terms of the rage inside of people's voices and the anger they were feeling the anger towards police

of that let's go to our correspondent who's been on the scene all day long diligently bringing us details of what's been going on ben swan now out there among them as they would say are things calming down bad. so so things are about to get a little bit rough here let's just pan over here next just so we have capitol police are coming through we've got to move on ok we're being told we have to move on by capitol police rick we got to go we got to go. all right or you see the police officer telling ben that he's not going to be able to file his report just as he had told us that he thought things might be able to get a little rough maybe what we can do is we can reach ben by text if we could some here and at least try and give our viewers a sense of what he was intimating when he said that if you got an ok on that let me know in the meantime let me bring in matthew fog he's a retired chief deputy u.s. marshal a man who's been in this type of situation has experience with this type of thing so many questions for you marshal i guess the 1st one is how does it seem to you like the police today and the law enforcement officia

ben swan is on the ground and filed this report. that is before you settle the. thousands of people all across the country converging on washington d.c. we're talking about the they were just this that we didn't know you even the members of it will tell you that we're going down all the way through this crowd and it's good for them because it's a white house they were didn't think through before the national interest and you can see just to see people behind me right now at the push really because i think that your question is people here today is the. u.s. senate and it is of congress who are going to. challenge some of the limits and what's called you know we don't know what's going to happen but the question is going to change things is that one of the things that we have been for the people that i've talked to out here is. their goal is to make their voice heard that they understood that you could disagree with me there's a selection of people to do the thing for cheap labor that we are such. a failure and. they want to make sure there is a good challenge this happening is there's a

version there are big questions surrounding whether all production should increase are now joining us now to. co-host and investigative journalist ben swan now ben saudi arabia and russia they were deadlocked monday over whether their producer's alliance should boost crude output but were able to actually come to an agreement on tuesday why was there such a deadlock and what was this compromise well it really came down to a time when there was an original e. agreed to timeline that said back last year when we were in the middle of this coronavirus that production levels would be cut russia which kind of group oversees this opec plus group of about 10 different suppliers worldwide. saudi arabia represents about 11 russia had agreed to go ahead and a hold down production but they had a deadline that was supposed to expire at the beginning of january in 2021 that would allow the production levels to come up again russia was supposed to start producing at least another half 1000000 barrels a day of oil but what the saudis are saying is let's hold off and let's wait that's what they couldn't come to an agreement on on monday and then as of tu

ben swan is on the ground and filed this report. that is before you settle these. polls that people all across the country converge on washington d.c. we're talking about they were just this that we did you know you believe that it was a very good loyalty that we're going down all the way through this crowd and it's the president because it's a white house we're didn't. grow up with the national interest and you can see just to see people behind me right now the question really becomes i think that your question. today is the. u.s. senate and it was a couple years who are going to. challenge some of the elect the next and you'd like to call the g. 8. we don't that's going to be the case but the gist of the trade changes also that one of the things that be a significant for the people they'll talk to here is this link to their votes to make their voice heard that very specific you could disagree with me there's a good selection to do that they were choosing people that they are such an. experience. that they want to make sure there is a good challenge to see that's happening is there's a

action boom bust co-host an investigative journalist ben swan is on the ground and filed this report but i see that is before you settle. this stuff all the people involved will sometimes converge on washington d.c. we're talking about the if they were states that we could get 3000000 people to the members of their loyalty that we have locked down all the way through this crowd and it's easy for the closer you get to the white house the more didn't become group of what the russians are going to do you can see just the seat of the people behind me right now the question really becomes a major question that people will hear today is these you have to get us in a numbers of killers who are going to. challenge and some of the electoral votes looks anything to call gestate we don't that's going to be the case but the question is have a change of culture that one of the things that we see happening for the people that talk to. these. children there is to make their voice heard that they. could disagree with the selection of people to do the things people do that they are something that should. be fair and. they want to make sure they're goi
