are partnering and looking to a think tank that's actually taking money from the ccp the chinese communist partynd you don't know it, the chinese government, the communists have a pathway through the at this tank right into congress. how do members know where the idea comes from the think tank, from my perspective, liberals and not from the commerce party. >> elites in this country for decades have been fund 'mentally wrong what would happen with china. also wrong in a way that benefited them. they believed if we made china belty. if we turned a blind eye to all the trade practices and cheating they were engaged in until president trump came along, then everything would get better. more liberalization and things would improve. what we have seen burrowed further and deeper into our institutions than before. think tanks is the beginning of it they bend the nikon distantly to china and the democrat party, i think, is unwilling to view china as the threat that it truly is. and it's much more concerned about holding january 6th hearings and lecturing us about the threat to national security from dona

she writes in part in face of the chinese communist party's accelerating aggression, our congressional delegation could be seen as an unequivocal statement that the u.s. stands with china -- with taiwan and defends itself and its freedom. what do you think about the statement in light of her trip? guest: this is this hyper, ideological viewpoint, call it extreme neoliberalism. it has gotten us into a bad place. we have fought for what, two plus decades to bring democracy and human rights to afghanistan. what did it get us? it is worse off than ever before. many americans died many more afghans died. we have seen this over and over again. in vietnam, we were supporting the territorial integrity of vietnam. there are so many examples of this. taiwan, if you know the history -- americans are by and large ignorant to the history of taiwan. which is a shame, we might be fighting a war over it. china's claim is pretty good, they controlled the island well before american independents. that goes back pretty far. i would not want to compare china's claims to taiwan to our claims to their easte

it's dangerous to think like that america's place in the world to think that chinese communist party bureaucrats and propagandists could threaten a third person in the united states of america and change her travel itineraries. it's part of a weak foreign policy - it's the administration that's afraid of its own shadow when it comes to afghanistan and the taliban. he showed weakness. vladimir putin has invaded europe under his watch, and now the communist party. china is threatening the speaker of the house of representatives and taking over taiwan itself, this is what happens when leader in the white house of dogs. now the news is simply

what's behind it is you have the chinese communist party looking to destabilize the country by killing kids, and president biden is there in a political speech and finally mentions the word fentanyl. the parents can't believe it. they are angry. it's a rally, september 17, parents from around the white house, they can't believe this administration is ignoring the worst crisis we've ever had when it comes to killing our kids.

chinese comp meanest parties. they are pushing to get scientists under contract to the chinese communist party into universities i have a list worked on my questions last night i will step into the hearing and be ready to ask those questions. >> harris: i know you will be. i hope that christopher wray is ready for all of that too because those are very important questions. we need to know the answers to them. senator they give or take a moment to step out of that an important judiciary committee today. >> marsha: thank you. >> harris: cheers of freedom and ron desantis' first campaign ad for another term as governor of florida. which could lead to that often talked about 2024 presidential bid. yesterday's primaries renewed new concerns about democrats meddling in republican primaries. >> very, very risky, very dangerous. very risky strategy. i understand the impulse, but i think we are living in a moment where we cannot afford to take the kind of risk. >> harris: democrats are worried about this, but is the party going to stop their strategy of funneling dollars to the political other side to see if they can go u

we will not be deterred by the threats of the chinese communist party. what do they want going forward? i mentioned some initiatives we can take to improve our foreign military sale process to taiwan. for example, my understanding is the harpoon anti-ship missiles that they've purchased aren't scheduled to be delivered until 2028. that's too late. we need to expedite the delivery of critical systems particularly missiles and mines in order to help taiwan defend itself. i believe we've entered the window of maximum danger here and the pla will make a move. >> i don't mean to cut in. i watch history being made for the second time like this in a quarter century for our nation to send a high-profile leader to taiwan. and you tell me that it is going to take until 2028 to deliver something that is critical, harpoon missiles. we already know the company that china keeps. three watching to see what russia has been able to do against ukraine even though we're sending them billions of dollars and weapons and everything. is that a smart calculation and true friend

we're not going to lead the chinese communist party dictate for the speaker of the house to go. as the speaker of the united states house of representatives, you should never have to ask a foreign dictatorship or the state department for permission to talk to america's friends and allies. hello, see if house speaker nancy pelosi visits taiwan. it will grossly interfere in china's internal affairs severely undermined china sovereignty and territorial integrity trample on the one china policy principle. gravely threatened the peace instability in the taiwan strait and undermine china. us relations. it will lead to various serious situation and consequences. in this context, nancy pelosi decided that she should go to taiwan at the same time, there's a new bill put forward in the u. s. congress that critics say would essentially nullify the one china policy when it comes to taiwan. our response should be that we are for democracy and against communist aggression. we live in dangerous times. china sizing up america and our commitment to taiwan. the danger will only grow worse if we s

inside china there are strict laws forbidding mocking and questioning the chinese communist party.a, dissent does not go over well. do you feel in danger? do you feel unsafe? >> well, this is actually my daily routine, that i will receive death threat on daily basis online, on my social media, twitter, instagram, direct message. >> he knows as an artist poking the chinese regime, he risks retaliation, both against himself and his family back in china. for years he hid behind a mask in public, working incognito, guerrilla style, both in australia and any time he traveled. he adopted a pseudonym, that has no real meaning. how many people know your real name? >> if you know then you know my real name and if you know my real name you don't know. >> when the chinese figured out the real identify three years. >> he went underground but he took off the mask and continued to hurl darts at the regime. in this recent cartoon, he confronts the reality of accusing a former vice premier of sexual assault. >> i want to be an inspiring figure. i want my art to helping others to collecting courage

i will say the confrontation gets the chinese communist party has been relatively bipartisan. eed to be taken. his rhetoric, their stated strategy has been okay but the things the chinese government party really understands, calling them out when they behave in a way that's just inconsistent. to go to the rat but a congressional visit is silly. president biden and his team need to be serious about confronting him. this will take years it's not can happen over weeks or days. this parts of the democratic party but don't want to do this. they're making a lot of money from hollywood or from some of america's biggest businesses that have supported democrats for a long time so they have a real challenge they need to confront. america has a real challenge in its day, as well as well. speaker looks like we might have a challenge in afghanistan as well. america disk of the number one terrorist ro khanna. we found out at the beginning of the week he was found on a balcony in the safe house in kabul but the white house is doubling down. they're saying afghanistan is not a safe haven for t

should be the chinese communist party fears what america will do. ut the chinese communist party at an enormous risk. we should pressure the chinese communist party and convince them not to behave in the very ways that we've seen them behave, martha. >> martha: thanks, secretary pompeo. >> good to be with you. >> martha: good to have you with us. that wraps up "the story" for this tuesday, august 2, 2022. "the story" goes on. i'll see you tomorrow morning bill hemmer at 9:00 and then again here at 3:00. thanks for sharing your time with us. look forward to seeing you tomorrow. have a great day, everybody. >> martha: fox on top of china ramping up threats and gearing up for more military exercises in the taiwan straits as nancy pelosi visits taiwan sounding more defiant than everybody. how is the white house doing with this? welcome. i'm charles payne in for neil cavuto. this is "your world." we have you covered with aishah hasnie on capitol hill with what china is threatening now. we have richard newton on what the white house should be doing

experts are saying chinese communist party may be doing this as trial run for sealing off taiwan. critics are getting louder now with calls for president biden to step up to china, but white house spokesperson john kirby is defending the president. >> when russia was getting aaggressive around ukraine, the president was telling putin, don't do it and now china getting aggressive around tains and we're not hearing from the president. >> i beg to differ. >> you said there is not a call scheduled with xi, is there a reason why? president biden has known him for decades, he's got a lot of free time in the residence this week. >> he didn't have free time. >> can he pick up the phone and call? >> he's been working through hisness, that is insulting. s >> harris: he went on about that one point allowing him to skirt the issue of beg to differ. fox news contributor mike pompeo is in focus now and great to have you. when you hear the white house senior staff say things like we beg to differ, he's doing so much, what is president biden doing to handle the threat with china? is it a secret?

, not the people, but the chinese communist party -- on the u.s. government disrupt our military operations. are you all working with the department of defense to address the threat of -- equipment that is coming in. and we know the chinese communist party is buying property and farmland near our military installations and our sensitive infrastructure. are you all on top of that? >> we are working closely with a number of department agencies. there is a lot happening in this case. one of the things i would suggest is -- my folks coming up and giving you a classified briefing. >> i would appreciate that. it would be helpful. we had a situation last year with the university of tennessee professor who came through the -- program to ut. it goes to trial and the -- uses the familiar line they started to do to say this is an issue of race. we are continued in that -- what they used to defend this individual. we are concerned about that. and how all of that inks to the confucius institute. a lot of universities have shut that down and they are renaming the

you can stop this if you get tough with china and we can stop this the chinese communist party communistty locked down cities when need to and ongoing and so could mexico if we were tough enough and serious about saving our young people. >> kayleigh: but we have a president that is not serious and he likes to talk a lot. in fact, he's taking action but let's listen to the president talk. >> they see their neighbors and lose the loved ones to drugs like fentanyl, which is a flat killer. my plan will make sure the state and local governments adopt reforms. my plan to something else really important. it addresses the opioid epidemic. how many people are dying of opioid overdose is now? we will impose tougher penalties for deadly fentanyl traffic. that is poison across the country. >> kayleigh: brett, let's take a look at the plan. 2018 he wasn't present but a guy named president trump wa was, 669,000 fentanyl over deaths. the first time it has come down in 30 years. president biden takes over 108,000 deaths but what changed between 2018? speak with the administration doesn't know what he's

pelosi penned an op-ed about the trip, saying in part, "in the face of the chinese communist party's accelerating aggression, our visit should be seen as an unequivocal statement that america stands with taiwan, our democratic partner, as it defends itself and its freedom. speaker pelosi also notes the congressional delegation's visit in no way contradict's longstanding u.s. policy which does not support taiwan's under but does support the island's democratic practices and right to self-defense. >> no reason for china to take what is a perfectly legitimate and consistent travel by the speaker of the house and turn it into some pretext for amping up the tensions or creating some sort of crisis or conflict. >> reporter: the house speaker's trip has bipartisan support here on capitol hill, even as it has increased tensions between the u.s. and china with beijing issuing a series of warning calling the visit provocative. >> at the end of the day, you do not want the chinese communist party dictating to senior american leader where they can and cannot travel. >> reporter: ahead of the con

and the thing that has me so alarmed is, we know the chinese communist party doesn't just give someone billion as they gave hunter biden to invest in, i don't know, t-shirt factories. they want investments in artificial intelligence, in nano technology and advanced materials. and so what key technologies did hunter invest in? we know that right now he is an equity holder in a chinese nuclear, a nuclear energy company that has been black listed for trying to steal american nuclear weapons technology. did he influence export controls in some way, given his influence with the big guy? those are the questions we have to, and we absolutely will, and i know jim banks is going to be all over this with a republican study committee when we get the majority back in congress. >> these aren't political questions, into is are absolutely national security questions that must be answered. congressman banks, not only did the fbi -- and i just want to say what you said to congressman also at the beginning of your answer, it is disturbing how casually mark zuckerberg talks about interference with our el

the chinese communist party does not have the right to indicate what to do or what not to do, so yulia shows that it is contained that despite internal political disagreements, this respect for institutions in this particular example, for the institution of the speaker, the apparatus of representatives, it is quite powerful, come on now we are moving the comment of the republican senator to salliv to the associate from alaska, how does he comment on this support for the bipartisan visitation of the semi-axis until the meltdown so that the chinese communist party dictates to the top american leadership where they can and where they cannot travel is not the other way around there we support her trip and about "we unite around her and many senators supported this statement by ostap. can such a step from time to time contribute to the rapprochement of china with russia and note that this is actually a logical question in view of russia's war in to ukraine, taking into account the fact that the united states urged china not to help russia earlier, what do experts say, experts say that this

if we want to have deterrence against the chinese communist party from invading taiwan, we need to providehe weapons systems to taiwan. and the problem is the defense industrial base is not prepared to get this done pretty recently met with the head of the commander in the former wando mckenzie told me both of them for military are the problem right now. if we cannot build these weapons this involves the defense department, the state department, congress, and defense contractors, we cannot backfill like a sales to taiwan have been denied for three years. this administration is not gotten up out the door. that projects weakness. it will invite aggression. trey: congressman rogers are stalked in the pandemic of the u.s. being less dependent on other countries for goods and services. in your judgment are we or have we met the challenge of being more self-reliant? >> unfortunately not. that is not the biggest threat to me. the biggest threat we still had not gotten china out of our supply chain. we have made it a goal we expect to have them out within the next couple of years. i think of the p

prices, but the european embargo on russian oil comes into effect on december 1, and the chinese communist partyess, we believe, will ease the coronavirus restrictions and the market situation will become tense very quickly, so we we still maintain our forecast for oil at over $120 by the end of the year. a big company is now deployed against russian oil in july, the european union led the sixth package of sanctions, providing for partial barrages on us supplies great britain canada set import ban g7 countries also want to impose a ceiling on oil prices from russia by december however, it will be very difficult to create a truly broad coalition when indian or chinese companies are invited to join this initiative. and they have a risk that russia, in response, will not sell at all at prices that are not like this and is banning the supply of oil to such countries that we will try to de facto join such anti-russian sanctions, and then russia reduce exports. and in general, any other oil , not even russian-made, will cost much more, there 150-200 dollars per barrel in the same europe, especially in

taiwan is one of the most sensitive issues for the chinese communist party and the chinese communist rnment, and so is not surprising they reacted so strongly. they have taken some unprecedented steps here, with their military, and other steps to really show resolve and to punish taiwan and to show resolve to taiwan and the united states and other us allies and partners in the region. so beijing has certainly responded pretty sternly to this, and i think i would just emphasise that while these exercises may be ramping up right now, the long—term impacts will be doled out in the coming days, weeks, months. �* ., ., , ., , months. and what do you see the long-term — months. and what do you see the long-term impacts _ months. and what do you see the long-term impacts of _ months. and what do you see the long-term impacts of that - months. and what do you see the | long-term impacts of that looking long—term impacts of that looking like? as you point out, we've seen those military drills. are they the dress rehearsal for the real thing was not our the closer to taiwan than what we have se

>> it is unlikely but the chinese communist party and they view the united states in a place you canothing that response to the 13 americans killed in afghanistan. the president says you can have aan small invasion and to take that risk and that what we have done in the words to do an exclusive what they have wanted to a do with the chinese communist party would issue a statement to tell american leaders and speaker pelosi wants to go there and travel than shepe should she certainly shouldn't change the plans of the trip because with the chinese put out in a press release. a trey: in the secretary of state those that are the jobs that you have fox news host or president of the united states if you were president how would you deal with iran? and with the acumen how would you deal with iran? >> and in terms of dealing with iran we have the right end of the stick and the only way to keep iran from threatening israel in the united states is to deny resources and money. we have done that and put them in a tough place. and then to enforce those existing sanctions and then that is dangerou

it is no wonder the chinese communist party actively lobbied u.s. business against this bill. the u.s. must leave the world in production of these advanced chips. this law will do exactly that. vonnie: bloomberg has learned china's flurry of anti-graft probes is due to anger over the industry's failure to come up with tech to replace u.s. circuitry. top leadership is frustrated tens of billions of dollars have failed to produce breakthroughs. the u.s. has successfully been able to contain beijing's technological ambitions as a result. bloomberg has also learned china's toip auditor is reviewing the $3 trillion trust industry were losses from property loans are mounting. the national audit office has been looking for risks to financial stability. more than 20 firms have been asked to report on any risky developer loans and plans to dispose of them. beijing may use the results to decide on future reforms. u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi says chinese president xi jinping is acting like a quote, scared bully over her visit to taiwan. she told nbc her trip was meant to -- the visit

took extremely good care of us making sure that we put in counter measures to whatever the chinese communist party was doing to dissuade us from going to taiwan. >> bipartisan group of lawmakers is working on a bill to bolster taiwan's defense capabilities. politico reports the white house is pushing back against that legislation worried to upset the balance and provoke a conflict with china. what is your take on that? >> i respectfully disagree with the white house. i think right now we have to help. under the taiwan relations act we have an obligation we have a -- we have to remember that to avoid what happened in ukraine happening in taiwan we have to achieve peace through strength helping the taiwanese shoring up the defenses. providing whatever equipment is necessary for our own forces in the pacific to resist the use of force by the chinese and deter them from moving on taiwan militarily. >> congressman krishnamoorthi, i thank you so much. >> thank you. >>> next hour talking to gina mccarthy. >>> still ahead, we are keeping eyes on kn where in about half an hour president biden and the first

he objects to the covid restrictions in china and calls for the removal of the chinese communist party trying to ruin taiwan. is that his only objection? pathetic. lauren: that's what the tweet said. that's all i've got. stuart: i've got to move on the last ones for you. a company rolling out, still got more, driverless taxis on city streets, which company? lauren: it's baidu, and they just got permits to put their taxis into two chinese cities including your favorite wuhan. these are complete in the first no driver, no human being in them whatsoever so usually you have someone who works for the company sit next to the passenger in case something goes wrong. they aren't doing that and guess what we are already doing that right here in the u.s.. cruise gives driverless rides in san francisco and waymo does in arizona. stuart: i wonder if jack dorsey is outraged at baidu, and driver less taxis. lauren: of all of the things that outrage you. i did not see that one coming. that's completely different than what jack dorsey said. stuart: okay thanks, lauren. remember this picture, bernie san

it is no wonder that the chinese communist party actively lobbied against this bill. the united states must lead the world in the production in these advanced chips. >> nancy pelosi assist china's president is acting like a scared bully over her visit to taiwan. her trip was meant to reinforce u.s. focus on the region. it sparked a wave of criticism from beijing and days of military drills. congress would not be intimidated. donald trump is facing legal and political pressure after fbi agents searched his home on allegations he took documents when he left office. prominent republicans claim the search was politically motivated. u.s. energy security has taken another hit after russian crude is flowing to hungry was halted. sanctions prevented improvements, the pipeline was shut down last week but there is no effect on the northern leg that runs through poland and germany. global news 24 hours a day, on-air and on bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. heidi: still ahead, the former u.s. secondary of state joins us

those risks is seeding control of taiwan or even ceding control of our travel schedule to the chinese communist party we're not going to pay that price. unfortunately, the only thing the folks who run the chinese communist party respect is strength. we have to show strength in order to keep peace and stunt in t stability in that region. >> it leaked out as someplace nancy pelosi and the delegation were going to go. because it was the public sphere you had to go then because it didn't look like the chinese leader was dictating your travel schedule. >> we were going to go regardless. this was planned before, but unfortunately speaker pelosi, myself and others came down with covid, so we are unable to go down before. at the end of the day we need to be there meeting with our partners and allies who feel tremendous kind of almost insecurity about chinese aggression, and so we have to make sure that we do everything we can to restore their confidence that we are there with them, and so we are going to do that. >> so i want to get to domestic affairs in a moment, but one more question on this point of taiw

his rhetoric, their stated strategy has been okay, but the things that the chinese communist party really understands, power, transparency, truth. calling them out when they behave in a way that's inconsistent. biden and his team need to be serious about confronting them. if they do that the chinese communist party will begin to be reshaped. >> harris: kevin mccarthy is in "focus" on the growing threat. we begin with greg palkot live for us in london. >> nancy pelosi has gone but taiwan's troubles could be getting worse. the house speaker ended her brief and controversial visit to taiwan a short while ago. she met with the island's president and said they want taiwan to have freedom and security and will not back away from it. it upset china who sees the island as its own. it has conducted even while pelosi was there military drills in the area. after she left chinese war planes entered taiwan's broad air defense zone. the big stuff starts tomorrow for four days in six zones around taiwan encircling the island beijing says its armed forces will participate in live fire exercises. the acti

you expect we'll ever learn anything even with a congressional investigative effort or the chinese communist partyure we never know what happened there? >> the chinese piece of the investigation is different but in terms of what we can learn about fauci's relationship with organization that was sponsoring that gain of function research, there's a lot. even when private organizations have filed freedom of information act request for fauci's e-mails and we've learned more about fauci's relationship. i will say i think democrats have set a precedent with the january 6 committee they'll perhaps regret and they've returned the teeth to a congressional subpoena by referring to the criminal justice. that's a precedence now and you can't ignore a congressional subpoena and that will come back to haunt fauci and other targets of the republican investigations. james: okay, interesting. thanks, guys. stay with us. when we come back, florida voters sending a clear message to schools this week: get wokeness out of the classroom. it's a try for republican ron desantis. will democrats get the message? >> florida

you can't pull that trip down because the chinese communist party sends out third rate propaganda to threaten her or the united states of america. >> china, though, is now warning it will take military action in response to a pelosi touchdown in taiwan. live to capitol hill next. reporters getting breaking details. general keith kellogg with advice for the speaker coming up next. for every veteran homeowner who needs money for their family, it's a new day in america. air force, pararescue, five years. home values are at record highs. the newday 100 va loan lets veterans borrow up to 100% of their home's total value. and take an average of $60,000 cash. 25% more cash than they'd get at a bank. united states marine corps, aviation maintenance, five years. that's why veterans from every branch... united states army, military police, eight years. ...from every specialty... marines, infantry, four years. ...from every length of service... united states army, strategic intelligence officer, twenty-eight years. ...trust newday usa to make the most of their va home loan benefit. when you can

we must not allow ourself to be intimidated by the chinese communist party. >> i think back to the meeting with putin and president xi where they declared that they had a growing partnership and one of the central tenants is they didn't want the united states to meddle in places that they believed are their own territory. you think of ukraine in that model and taiwan. so do you believe that president xi is getting ready to do what vladimir putin did because at that point we were told those were just military exercises and then they moved in. >> i do. i think you're right to highlight the no-limits partnership that they signed before putin's invasion of ukraine. xi jinping, his life-long ambition is the reunification of taiwan with the mainland by force if necessary, is what he has repeatedly said. if there's one thing that we learned from the failure of deterrence in ukraine is that when dictators tell us what they are going to do, we should listen. we shouldn't dilute ourselves with the fantasy that they play by the same rules that we do. so i believe we really enter the window of maximum

history from the first gun safety bill in decades to strengthening nato, to competing the chinese communist party, do taking care of our veterans. to top it all off, we celebrate a groundbreaking achievement, the most important bill we have passed in a long time, president biden will sign the inflation reduction act into law today!

they all said we had be the power the chinese communist party has. if you look at esg, that is essentially what you're doing. the last time the planet had this much debt was at the end of world war ii. countries had massive debt and we reset the entire financial system. for a long time, we have the u.s. dollar as the reserve currency. in 1971 we broke free from the gold standard. there is a side i would encourage everybody to go see. you saw massive wealth gaps grow in our country. the destruction of the middle last. and you see people that have committed to fundamentally remaking america to taking a long march through the institutions say that it's because we don't tax the rich enough and we don't have enough social safety net programs. look at what we've done since then. it has not fixed poverty. he laid out three principles that make our country more affordable. in america first national security posture. more affordable keeping the military strong and focused. in america first economic policy that multiplies our allies rather than our enemies. th

so in a very real sense when we look at the chinese communist party's strategy, it's been one not only of military intimidation in the south china sea or economic coercion against taiwan or other countries that recognize taiwan, but a a united -- a united front strategy aimed against one million of americans. intentional or not, addicting americans to cheap chinese goods. that money from china. addicting americans to fentanyl with precursors met -- made in china and addicting america's kids to an incredibly addictive social media app that is not good for them. it's destroying their brains. i hate to sound like the old buzzkill in the room. i used to be like the youngest member of congress, but exactly used to be a young buzzkill. yeah, that's right. that will go on my gravestone. but my time is expired. thank you, mr. chairman. >> i hate to cut you off on that note. mr. castro, and i think we'll see how many -- are get to vote. we still have 320 hopefully we'll get to mr maloney as well before we were sure, thank you. >> chairman, thank you. chairman schiff for holding this important h

>> 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

pelosi penned an op-ed about the trip, saying in part in the face of the communist chinese party's accelerating aggression, our visit should be seen as an unequivocal statement that america stands with taiwan, our democratic partner as it defends itself and its freedom. speaker pelosi also notes the congressional delegation's visit in no way contradicts long-standing u.s. policy, which does not support taiwan independence, but does support the island's democratic practice and right to self-defense. >> no reason for china to take what is a perfectly legitimate and consistent travel by the speaker of the house and turn it into some pretext for amping up the tensions or creating some sort of crisis or conflict. >> reporter: the house speaker's trip has bipartisan support here on capitol hill, even as it's increased tensions between the u.s. and china with beijing issuing a series of warnlings, calling the visit provocative. >> at the end of the day, you do not want the chinese communist party dictating to senior american leaders where they can and cannot travel. >> reporter: ahead of the congressi

it's an example of democracy, as an example of freedom in the state of challenges from the chinese communist partyng with taiwan and we should make absolutely clear that this relationship is important. it's important that you visit taiwan and not try to pass this off. remember she planned on going. we knew about this several weeks ago in the minute that the folks in mainland china started to express concerns about it, she pulled back. we should not be cowering in the face of this challenge this challenge. >> the thing is the pentagon and administration are not on board. the pentagon says the president said the pentagon -- but "the new york times" says today president biden's aide says the president has decided against asking nancy pelosi to directly cancel her trip. so the presidents against it, not going today, don't go. but if she does, they promised direct action. listen to what this chinese officials that overnight. china has repeatedly made clear to the u.s. serious concern over nancy pelosi's plane visit to taiwan and his firm -- if the u.s. challenges china's redline they will be met with r

>> well,the chinese communist party says october 16 they will meet. t up and intimidate taiwan, intimidate us as part of xi jinping's effort to secure a third term as general secretary of the chinese communist party at the 20th party congress. i really believe that we have a window here where we can push to give our friends in taiwan the resources that they need to defend themselves. they're saying the right things, they're moving in the right direction. they announced they're going to increase defense spending by 14%. here's the problem. we have about $14 billion in backlogged military equipment that we've sold to taiwan that has not yet been delivered. the lesson of ukraine is we need to arm our friends before the invasion begins, before the shooting begins. that's our best chance of avoiding war. we're not moving fast enough to do that. we have harpoon missile systems that are not scheduled to be delivered until 2027. that is too late. we have to start moving taiwan to the front of the line when it comes to foreign military sales. remarkably, the bi
