Will the US go to War Over Taiwan?

What does that tell us about all of this? And then Joe Mansion, why did he do what he did and what will it do to you? Here's a hint. Tax and spend and the Green new do nothing good, nothing that anybody should be looking forward to, that's for sure. Have you ever wanted to invest in real estate though, and you didn't want to start on your own because you didn't know how, and you didn't want to make

big mistakes. Done for you real estate. I'm at the Founders years ago, and in that meeting we talked about maybe teaming up so I could tell people done for your real estate. The truth is I also said to them, guys, I want to be a client right away, because I love what you're doing. It makes sense to me, and I want to be a real estate investor. Fast forward. Now I own multiple properties in my portfolio that I bought using Done for your real Estate. They're my advisors.

They took me through every step of the process, and now I understand real estate investing. Go to done for you buck dot com to see how this works. They'll take you through every step of the process, from picking the city, the house, getting the loan, getting a tenant in place, and a management company to handle the whole thing for you, and then you get that free cash

flow coming to you every month. Go to done for You buck dot com to see how this process works and to become a real estate investor just like me. Done for you Buck dot com. So here's the thing about Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan. Now, she's created a situation where, you know, she's speaker of the house. We may not like that, and I think we don't like it, but she is speaker of the house, and she is

an American and a powerful one. And for her to back down right now from this circumstance of the Chinese Communist Party saying you better not go to Taiwan. That looks bad for America. Looks like, well, now China calls the shots with our third in line for the presidency about where she can go. Now, why did Pelosi want to do this in the first place. She's not a freedom fighter, she doesn't care about anybody but herself. She's a fraud. She loves having her husband trade on material

information that other people don't have access to. You know a lot of stuff about Pelosi you gotta keep in mind here, but Chinese Communist Party saying they might take military action in response to her, and this, I would just say, we need to be very careful in this moment in time. It was seven eight months ago, eight months ago now that we were being told that Russia would not invade Ukraine. That's crazy. Now we're eight months

into a war in Ukraine. Now we aren't fighting that war, but we are supplying one side in that war with munitions, and without our support, the war would come to a very rapid halt, or rather the Russians would just steamroll them. So we were told by the experts, the foreign policy experts, that Russia would not invade an They did. And now

we're being told by a lot of people. We need to stand up to China here, and I understand that impulse, but I think we also did have clarity on what we would do if China decide to call our hand here, force our hand. What would we do in response? What happens if China decides that they are sending the beginnings of a full invasion force across the Taiwan straight so one hundred miles from inland China to Tiwa, not that far. What do we do? I know we'd have a lot

of diplomatic objections and demarshes and things like that. But are we going to send a carrier group with instructions to tell those ships that they turn around, or we're going to start bombing them from the sky and we're going to send our military resources against this Chinese fleet, this invasion fleet. Are we willing to do that? I think we want to consider that in its totality. We should think long and hard about this. Yes, we should

support Taiwan. Yes, it's a country, an independent democracy with a lot to offer the world, and it is peaceful, and Taiwan's existence is a net positive for the planet as it is right now. So and Taiwan is a good friend to the United States, so that we obviously do a lot of trade with Taiwan. They're the biggest semiconductor producer in the world. They play a critical role in the modern economy. There are a tremendous economic success story.

I am very pro Taiwan, but we the American people, need to think about whether we'd be willing to go to war with China over time. One, because China certainly seems to give us all the indications that at some point, at some point, they will be willing to do this. I mean, they've really been promising for a long time, and all the diplomatic niceties and all the memos and

strongly worded speeches and all this stuff. If they decide to pull that trigger, the only thing that stops them is US service members risking their lives and taking the lives of Chinese service members. That's going to be it if Chinese, the Chinese Communist Party, makes that decision. So I would rather us think about this in advance than be caught in a situation somewhat similar to what we've seen with this Biden White House in Ukraine, where we were told, well, Russia is not going to do that

Russia is not going to invade. This is all a bluff. That was really the consensus opinion. Seems strange at the time, didn't it put hundreds of thousands of troops along the border. Maybe they were just seeing if they could get something as a concession or nope, it turns out full scale war. And that full scale war is still going on right now. And look at the international response. Not enough to stop Russia.

So does anyone think that the much larger, militarily and economically Chinese government would be stopped, that Shijinping would would be stopped in his tracks here if he decided to go for Taiwan. I don't think so. I don't think so. So we should think about what we're willing to do here. And if the American people feel strongly that we should be willing to go to war to defend Taiwan, well we should at least know that and say that out loud.

This strategic ambiguity thing here doesn't make a lot of sense, does it. Maybe we would, maybe we wouldn't. That's official us PO. Does that sound like a good place for us to be? China is testing the waters more and more, so we need to be very honest with ourselves about this. Speaking of testing, Biden is tested positive for COVID again. Again, I want to talk about this and what it means

for our fight against this virus. Summer vacation season is in full swing, making it important to protect yourself from identity theft while traveling. Simple as it sounds, preparing yourself for stealing your wallet or your purse, Yeah, that's straightforward, right, But if they get your stuff, your credit cards, your driver's license, that's enough info for identity thieves to steal your identity, right and then once they do, financial problems

are big. It's important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives.

States test positive for COVID after four COVID shots. Mind you, he's double boosted, so he got two shots because one shot wasn't enough and then two more shots still got COVID. And he's also masked up sometimes and doing all this stuff. If Joe Biden gets COVID, given all of the procedures and everything else around him, I just want to know the libs walking around New York City with an N ninety five mask one for like ten minutes a day when they're outside, so everyone says, oh, wow, that person

takes the virus. Seriously, do they really think they're not going to get the virus? So if they're definitely going to get it, why are they going through all the motion? As well as we know, it's now turned into some kind of religious belief for a lot of people, for a lot of libs. It has nothing to do with what's actually going to keep you safe. It's much more

about what you're showing people by taking these actions. But my big problem with all of this is it is absurd that they have fired people from the military or any job for that matter, because they are they were not willing to get a shot that I mean to say, it doesn't stop the spread is an understatement. For these shots don't stop the spread. For these shots don't prevent

you from getting sick, and getting pretty sick. Apparently even Biden had something like a cold, but it wasn't it wasn't an asymptomatic case, and now he has had a rebound after taking pax Loavid. Now I have been checking in on this and I asked an infectious disease specialist friend of mine and said, how is that even possible? It's not really well understood. But it may be that packs Loavid, by lowering the amount of virus in this system, creates an immune response that isn't as fulsome as it

would need to be. Possibly. I think that's honestly, even when he explained to me, I wasn't even really clear on it. So, but pax Lovid obviously has this rebound possibility, and it's an anti viral pill you take. Fauci also had a pas Loavid rebound made by Fisser, by the way, sponsored by Fisser. So this just goes to show you that we're not out. We're not out of the woods with this situation. And I don't mean just the virus.

I mean that people still think that all these things they do somehow have value, all these things they do somehow are going to stop them from getting sick, which is just not true. Joe Mansion is out there telling everybody that after his big switcheroo here on supporting the Biden Agenda, that the Inflation Reduction Act actually fights inflation, reduces it. Here's what he said. I didn't change my mind.

I've never changed at all. This is fighting inflation. This is all about the absolute horrible position that people are in now because of the inflation cost whether it be gasoline, whether it be food pricing, whether it be energy pricing, and it's around energy mostly it's driving these high inflation. This is going to take care of that because this is aggressively producing more energy to get more supply, to

get the prices down. That's what we're doing. But raise taxes. Now, they're raising taxes and it's not going to reduce inflation. So he's wrong on all things here. And I can't tell you. I don't know enough about Mansion. I don't really have enough of a sense of Mansion to say if this is mostly the result of Mansion not understanding these things, or if he's just a slimy duplicit as

politician like so many others. I tend to think it's the latter, But maybe he doesn't really have much of an economic understanding here, or you know, I want to know how they got to him, you know what about and now now people pointed out rightly, why is he even a Democrat? Exactly? Like what is he a democrat on? Well, now you're seeing tax and spend. Government's going to bring down the cost of energy that's laughable. Government makes energy

more expensive and it makes it more difficult. And the fact that they're going to focus in on green energy at the expense of fossil fuels just shows you they are un serious about making things better in the economy when it comes to energy production. This Green New Deal nonsense that is in this bill shows you everything you really need to know about this. But Joe Manchin, West Virginia, you know you gotta do better than this guy. Say it. Say it to you straight. You gotta do better than

this guy. Thanks for rolling with me today.
