yeah definitely as we know ever since pearl independence democratic progressive party took our in 2060 the relationship between taiwan and china has really frozen and this time around the awareness and the. eagerness to really defend and highlight taiwan sovereignty has really rise and this really has not helped improve relations but rather china has recently come out and condemned the taiwanese at mission for openly supporting the supply demonstrators of hong kong on the streets remember speaking to us from hong kong thank you very much for that thank you. and taiwan support for the hong kong protesters again articulated earlier this week in an essay from taiwanese. choose an influential voice in the chinese speaking world she compared the protest movement in hong kong to a small and fragile egg facing a wall of steen she ended with this how do we treat them eg we bend down gently pick it up and hold it in the palm of our hand we take care that we don't break it that i say was widely slammed in china our critics are saying ignores the violence but better to protest as trying to stave

the democratic party folks other than tulsi gabbard understand. this this party led by chuck and nannies the progressive and the squad driving this party off of the cliff. >> tucker: how much of this is being driven by ocasio-cortez and the rest, the freshman? >> 100 percent. absolutely 100 percent of it. look, you have to understand that the progressive wing of the democratic party is in control of the party it's in coal control of the media and talking heads. they repeat the same stuff. thinking critically. so we are not stopping to ask the question of hey, do you know what? there is something about this biden and hunter biden

populist candidate who sees china as the solution to taiwan's high income trap and in a democratic progressive party incumbent will prioritize the diversification away from china to strengthen taiwan. many taiwanese fear that reelected president [inaudible] will be detrimental to relations with china into the economic prospects. others believe that electing [inaudible] will threaten taiwan's identity. hong kong faces a similar china dilemma. with important implications for taiwan. as a resident of hong kong since 1992 i have seen the city's distinctive identity being eroded. hong kong has thrived with the economic drives but the high income traffic is much worse than taiwan's in terms of inequality and on affordability. like the protest against immigration with china in 2014 recent protests in hong kong are beyond economics and are focused on defending core values such as freedom and democracy. effective solutions must provide ways for hong kong to have a greater voice in the future of their city. it is an international financial center for the world for china but more importantly it is home to 7 mi

limbaugh thinks the democrat party wants to take trump out and also take biden out with his story which i thought was a really crazy idea. what do you make of that? >> the progressiveld agree with that sentiment. they don't think biden represents the modern democratic party. i don't know that it is orchestrated that way but now that it is leading the progressives will pylon and beat biden, biden can't make the argument any long. >> will be certain biden more than donald trump? people hate this kind of story. this is why donald trump was elected, you get sick and tired of seeing a politician, who knows nothing, $6000 a year. >> the real casualties joe biden's candidacy. donald trump's side will energize his base, nothing turns out your base more than when you feel your choice for office has been unfairly treated. extended continuation of this witchhunt. this has to do with when the democrats overplay their hand on brett kavanaugh, turning out republicans, it is going to strengthen the president's chances, the only casualties joe biden. >> we appreciate it. jillian: 9 minutes until the top of the hour. different decades, different party. >> the republican majority is

took a part of the momentum out of the of the democratic campaign for impeachment plus there is a deep division within the democratic party where more progressive democrats are arguing for impeachment and the more perhaps pragmatic or more conservative wing is arguing against it for a long time that support able to stave this off this kind of critique i think now is a moment where well maybe this is the this the straw that broke the camel's back and we're not suppose just respond majida impeaching a president is a long and complicated to see just some stand a 10 steps involved and as you said they've been divisions within the democrats over this issue they're still divisions within the democrats and among voters is this a vis good will for the democrats given or if this is a risky move it's not seen as something that's very popular it's risky because of my backfire this is what has happened in part with the boat. an impeachment where clinton was unable or the democrats were able to take away the midterm elections after the impeachment trial it takes a while trump might not even be in office anymore when de impeachment trial goes to the senate o

think progress was created in 2005 as a project of the center for american progress democratic party action fund but was editorially independent. journalist zach carter said in a tweet -- "the collapse of thinkprogress demonstrates that the democratic party establishment and its donor base have little to no interest in sustaining center-left media outlets, even in the age of trump. the election of donald trump and the rise of an american authoritarian movement seem not to have changed many minds among wealthy democrats." and those are some of the headlines. this is democracy now!, democracynow.orgrg, the wawar ad peace report.. i'm amy goodman. we begin today's show in afghanistan. this week and president trump publicly called off a secret meeting at camp david with the taliban and the president of afghanistan that aimed to end the 18-year-war, the longest in u.s. history. trump tweeted on saturday -- "i immediately cancelled the meeting and called off peace negotiations. what kind of people would kill so many in order to seemingly strengthen their bargaining position? they didn't, t

democratic party. elizabeth warren representing progressives. like she's surging because there is that energy within the democratic party. i also think it's notable that the difference between sanders and warren is larger than the difference between sanders and buttigieg. they're divided by just two points. buttigieg his campaign feels like, look, we still have some room to grow because his favorabilities are so high. time is running out. >> is third place going to matter in iowa? >> it may not not, especially if senator warren keeps gaining this type of traction. speaking to 20,000 people in new york. she's not just running as a massachusetts senator. she is running as a message. this is an economic pop lace. she is running on that economic populous message. that is what makes her a powerful candidate and a field full of people who are running as different kinds of personalities. she has a broad theme that has really carried her to this point. >> she is also going to get the frontrunner status. >> treatment. let's see what she looks like in six

what we are seeing is a real debate in the democratic party between the progressive wing and the moderatesuld say biden and warranty to keep moving where they are going. they have to do well. cruz, ted cruz did well in iowa. it helps to do well in iowa. biden could have difficulty in new hampshire, only because maureen and sanders -- warren and sanders are senators from neighboring states. iden is 25 points ahead, he has to remain in that position into california. i misspoke. you should have corrected me. jeanne: you never misspeak! david: one of the things we saw last night, i'm curious about how this will foll through to the general and not just the primary. vice president biden was sticking out what would be a more moderate position, and defending that position from people on his left and right. is that something that he can win the primaries with and then take it to the general? jason: i don't think he has a choice. there is nothing joe biden can do that will really capture the hearts of bernie sanders' core base. to some extent the same with warren. from the beginning, the perception

democrat. caller: good morning. we need to stop playing games. i am a diehard progressive and a democrat. there is one word for my party right now and it is feckless. feckless and in fear. the way you allowed corey lewandowski to attend that hearing and disrespect every member of congress, that was incredible. now you have proof of the president obstructing justice in real time. impeachment is not a debate. it is obstruction. the inspector shall -- which means must, it is a law. there is no debate. if he does not turn in the complaint, the transcript can come later, if you does not turn in that complaint and you do not hold him in contempt or take action, you are failing and don't deserve to be in office. guest: thank you for sharing your frustration and much of your point of view. i agree, this is not optional. if the director does not answer the complaint, he should be removed. inhas violated the statute disregard for what congress wanted. impeachment an inquiry months ago. jerry nadler has started the preceding, but we need to unify the house caucus so there is no debate or equivocation or ambiguity. host: brad is a

the democratic party folks other than tulsi gabbard understand. this this party led by chuck and nannies the progressive the squad driving this party off of the cliff. >> tucker: how much of this is being driven by ocasio-cortez and the rest, the freshman? >> 100 percent. absolutely 100 percent of it. look, you have to understand that the progressive wing of the democratic party is in control of the party it's in coal control of the media and talking heads. they repeat the same stuff. thinking critically. so we are not stopping to ask the question of hey, do you know what? there is something about this biden and hunter biden and christopher hynes worked with him in the ukraine for this corrupt, you know, oligarch based ukrainian gas company? is there something to the fact that biden phone calls? should would he be investigating this? the "new york times" ran an article last may that highlighted this concern for biden and his campaign. it is not trump. trump isn't inventing this story. it's been out there for a long time. now that we are hooking our party's future on this over the next year, it is a disa

democratic party, the more centrist part. but the party has changed in response to donald trump. progressives are really upset.y don't like all the things they're seeing in current american politics. they're wanting someone who can talk about race in a more meaningful way. he was asked about the legacy of savo slavery and gave a long answer about black parents need to do a better job and talking about record players. so he needs to prove that he understands how the country has changed, how the progressive movement has risen within the democratic party. he needs to re-tool his narrative to reassure people he's on top of the job. >> would it be damaging or realistic for joe biden to turn the page and say i might not be the newest, the freshest, the edgiest, but what the country needs right now is a return to normalce. what if he took that kind of stance? would it knock him out or would it be comforting enough to say, maybe he's being realistic and we just have to get back to a straight road? >> he is the safest choice. so if people want safety in someone who they think can beat donald trump, he is the guy. but a

the gaffeses, another issue plaguing obama-- biden's campaign is it may not be progressive enough for the democratic partyhese increasing frequent gaffes many are wondering if biden is the best choice. but to quiet those doubteds is joe biden's wife, jill biden came up with a simple message. beg ars can't be choosers. >> you may like another candidate better. but you have to look at who is going to bin. you know, your candidate might be better on, i don't know health care than joe is. but you have got to look at who is going to win this election. and maybe you have to swallow a little bit and say okay, i like so and so better. but your bottomline has to be that we have to beat trump. >> trevor: what? just swallow a little bit and say okay. that is not a ringing endorsement. other people might be better but it's like, i wonder what her wedding vows sowfnted like. like i take you joe, even though michael was technically better and you are fine, we can make this work. probably still bedder than joe biden's vows, and i take you-- umm, my fiance, the woman-- um, the one in the white dress. so for the first tim

.>> in the meantime, republicans want to paint vincy pelosi as to the more progressive elements of the democratic party is th fair?>> i think that as scott mentioned, when these moderate membersbawho had cia grounds or military backgrounds wrot thop-ed, this felt like where this sort of wall that had been sort of protecting this began to fall. when you have these more moderate members that were willing to stick their necks out, it seemed like things were moving within the caucus in a co way that she d not ignore. i also thing for democrats too, this is a much easier case to prosecute to e public than the whole russia scandal was because that was very convoluted. people are thinking, okay, this is in the past, but now you have a president who is soliciting help from a foreign government. i have this whistleblower. of this call. partial readout so i think we can see public sentiment shifting as well. we had our n npr pbs ws hour poll that came out this week with the public split peachment. i caution that pot.ing in the heat of the moment, it is always a bit tricky. i think in the coming weeks we can see

democratic party? isn't eric older far to the left saying democrats gun too far. >> is the squad face of the democratic party, tell me about that? is this push from progressivesoing this? even jerry nadler is facing a primary challenger. >> the chairman of ways and means, chairman of appropriations, they are facing a primary from the socialist democratic wing. that is aoc. this is not a family fight. this is more for the heart and soul of the democratic party. what is happening? nancy pelosi has the title of speaker but no longer the power. they run the floor. have you ever heard of a democratic running for president afraid to go to the apack conference? they won't on a trip to israel to learn about the middle east or meet with the israeli government. >> what are you going to do on the other side fighting the real progressives in terms of getting your voice heard and getting the republican party policies out there? >> you have to be clear on the contrast. the democratic debate, they want to guarantee an income for people who can work but are unwilling. goes against the heart and soul of what america believes. jillian: you don't think america will vote for thi

is about, you know, joe biden, obviously representing one side of the democratic party, elizabeth warren representing progressivesgy within the democratic party. i also think it's notable that the difference between sanders and warren is larger than the difference between sanders and buttigieg. they're divided by just two points. buttigieg, by the way, his campaign feels like, look, we still have some room to grow because his favorabilities are so high. we'll have to see, time is running out. >> bob, is third place going to matter if one and two is warren and biden. >> it may not, especially if senator warren keeps gaining this kind of traction. you listen to her speech earlier this week in new york city speaking to 20,000. she's not just running as a massachusetts senator, she's running as a message. this is an economic populist who started with consumer protection work for years. and she is running as a counter to president trump on that economic populist message and that is what makes her a powerful candidate in a field full of people who are running as different kinds of personalities or policy pitches. she h

so the debate that it's been raising within the democratic party between progressives and moderates isve and well, and will be at least until the nominee is selected. >> dana: many more months to go of that. thank you, kristen. more on this with ari fleisher, former white house press secretary. great friend of this show. i saw mitch mcconnell told fred barnes, who wrote in "the wall street journal" that they feel good about the republican senate races, but it's actually the left that is helping them more than anything because they are pushing so far to be extreme that it's helping the republicans. what do you think of that? >> i went back and looked. in 2016 in themyle of everything trump, as he took over the republican party, i tweeted that because of trump, no one is noticing how far to the left the democratic party is going. it's just accelerated, even more as we approach 2020. this has been a decades long trend of the percentage of democrats who identify as liberal has surged inside the democratic party. and it puts all the potential gains they have at risk. >> dana: chris murphy o

it's why more progressives in the democratic party are saying the government should take this over. >opefully the focus remains on those issues. >>> the milwaukee brewers, punching their ticket to the postseason without their most valuable mayor. we have "the bleacher report" next. with my hepatitis c, i felt i couldn't be at my best for my family. in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured and left those doubts behind. i faced reminders of my hep c every day. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. even hanging with friends i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks with mavyret, i was cured. mavyret is the only 8-week cure for all common types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1, or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take including herbal supplements. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems

democratic party. there is a question about what the democratic party stands for, how moderate the party should be versus how progressived be. whether you're attacking, quote, unquote attacking other candidates, there are legitimate differences in terms of policy among these candidates on stage. i think some of them feel that the way in which they make the moment is why they're the best to take on trump because they represent a set of views and a set of values that are at some variance with another faction within the party. and i think you can do that in a way that doesn't seem like you're trying to rip someone's eyes out. the other person, look, i've said that i think the lower tier candidates, the 1-2% candidates, i think eugene said that the top three have a lot to gain and a lot to lose. really the person who has the most on the line here tonight is joe biden who has been the frontrunner since the beginning of the race has had various stumbles, has made various mistakes. last week when he was on stage, at the climate forum that cnn did, he had a terrible night. he got trashed by a voter in the audience. he had an is

it is the appendage of the democratic party pushing their progressive agenda.people want to feel good we will get to the bottom but this is a good thing he is the attorney general and has a real us attorney in connecticut at looking into this and the inspector general appointed by obama they are worried about him they are starting to trash him. to be offense and not on defense that is a good thing. [applause] you talk about the radical chokehold that has to do with voting in legislation and ballot harvesting so how can we citizens respond to that and break loose of that tyrannical chokehold quick. >> i don't have an answer for you. if i did you wouldn't ask me that ?-question-mark i don't have an answer it is a big problem. sometimes things have to collapse before you rebuild and this day is headed for bankruptcy per cry will be damned if i will bail out the left-wing democrats in the state. [applause] but i don't know because the one-party rule stuff is very difficult to break through. and you are right all of these changes help the democrat party those are fu

we see a lot of democratic socialists and democratic progress that's out there running these fights to break down the democratic leaders because we love our party but we feel like it should go into a mom i'm more progressive us. instead of a more moderate that because moderations just hasn't worked and america but the past 150 years it's time for us to overhaul our entire political system and change it and that's the only way we can see change in our own party so why does the d.n.c. still think like that we know from wiki leaks how the d.n.c. tried to destroy bernie sanders and we know that trump certainly doesn't go for the safe angle and he wins so why would they still be. caution about being progressive or or socialist it's our southern democrats it's an area democrats it's the ones that you find in the southeast. where a majority of african-americans or joe biden even said so in order to an african-american transforming killing is to get rid of donald trump but as we told the vice president is that track's women was already being killed when obama was in office so it has nothing to do it donald trump in a lot of these issues don't donald tr

party off of the cliff. >> tucker: so how much do you think of this is being driven bo alexandria ocasio-cortez on the rest? >> 100% of it. the progressive wing of the democraticarty is in control of the party. it's in control of the media and all the talking heads. so folks that i know, my friends at her democrats repeat the same stuff and they aren't even thinking critically or foru themselves. we don't stop to ask a questionn is there something about hunter biden and christopher hines who worked forou him and -- is there something to the fact that joe biden put in some phone calls? "the new york times" ran an articlet last may that highlighted this concern foram biden and his campaign. the raise the alarm flag. so it's not trump, trumpets and inventing the story. in other words we are hooking our party's future on this for the next two years. but it's totally not what's the truth. the russian intelligence service has a of wired and so they know what hunter biden and all of his buddies over there, to include an organization called blue star which was a research company based out of operating in the ukraine, and he will make up stuff that isn't true, so now w
