0 the republican party from texas . don't make that kind of information, .com. >> hey, i hope you'll come join me every monday, wednesday and friday at foxn news podcast apple, spotify or on youtube for the will cain podcast. that's going to do it for us tonight. here at seven o'clock at night. tammy bruce is next on his. welcome to this special edition of "hannity". i'm tammy bruce in for sean. and tonight, a new crisis for the white house. less than two years after biden vowed that america would be respected around the world, our relationship with china has never been worseam. breaking today, the ccp just suspended all plan of official discussions with the united states in retaliation for speaker pelosi's trip to taiwan. china is calling her visit an i egregious provocation. meanwhile, china's biggest ally, russia, is backing their dear friend 100%. unfortunately, putin can only offer little more than words because his country's involved in a prolonged conflict in ukraine. and now with analysis, it's going to help. all of us is former massachusetts senator scott brown , along with fox news c contributor and former cia station chief dan hoffman. gentlemen, thank you very much. i cannot believe that i have tot like open a segment for you twom guys talking about how china is screaming at us and we're like running away like scared rabbits. we've got conflicting messages coming out of the whiteed house which said we don't support taiwan independence, which was, by the way, a horrible thing to say. well, nancy pelosi is going p him thathugging alone. would send ak a message that the american government is itself dividedment on this issue. what's's your take? on all of this? well, i've been to china.es i've been to taiwan two or three times. taiwan is an amazing country. they are a democracy supply a lot of our ships that we needy for our military and other means. and china, they're a a a big bully. if you get off the plane and it smells like an ashtray, the biggest polluters and they have a three to six to nine hundred year plan and we don't have a plan. you see that the fractured and splintered nature with the biden foreign policyat as evidence in ukraine and now you see it again with china and taiwan in the united states . i thought nancy pelosi didth the right thing. my only regret i don't o agree with her on anything. h my only regret is she didn't include more republicans. she has the right to travel. she has the right to go anywhere she wants. where are the united states of america? un and joeit biden should not have basically thrown her out the door and under the carpet and he needs to stand up to because they're a bully. they're using the wto to take advantage of a developing nation status and they're wrong. so i don't want to take this time, but i want to hear what you know. and also the worldga health organization is another example of what china seems too control . that, of course, did a disservice to this entire planet when coveredanee with emerging. and again, but i think we all agree i love that she was going to taiwan, but we presume that it's an organized dynamic involving our entire government and everyone is in agreement and we're not going to display,e you know, the family fight in front of the enemy, which they then know. and i think it inspires them and they use that and figure they can even do more and movees forward even more aggressively. beenlly, this should havesi a visit that reinforced our ouro strength and our support of a friend. and would you agree that it seems to have done the opposite at this point? oinwell, i think that it is a t disturbing that the administration was behind the scenes discouraging speaker pelosi from making that trip, t but that she did the right thing. i agree that she did the right thing by going ahead with it.k i think t the administration mut have askedtrat the intelligence community, how would china respond to this a i to this vis? and what i we've seen is an extrudes early aggressive asymmetric response. you look atetsp the military drs that started yesterday that effectively blockade taiwan until sunday. is a pretty extreme i measure. but i think what china's trying to do, they know thatth the united states will carry on with the relationship of taiwan. they are trying toh deliver a stark message, a clear one to to those countries in the region and beyond that,t the cost of a relationship with taiwan is simply too high andhi they shouldn't do ith china seeking to isolateig taiwt fully. and this administration, i agree with senator brown needs to push back with a real strategy to prevent thatf from happening. all right. what would that be ? because when wero>> say that ch is sending a message that the the cost is too high to doha this, you know, what would that cost be ? would they take there are other islands that are close to taiwan. would they take those? they've stopped talks, which they probably were not really seriousp about in the first place. what outstand would they doey that they think we might do as a response to this? they're militarizing the south china sea and they are absolutely trying to induce taiwan's neighbors in the region diplomaticallyy and by other means economically to isolate taiwan. we need tote be more forceful in the region. we need to ensure that freedom in thatation is upheld region. we need to work closely with our allies, particularly japan and australia, and we need to push back on china within all of government approach in our own country to deal with their full throttled espionage and their way. they steal our intellectual property and they have to do need a comprehensive strategy to do it. ambassador, what did you recommend when it comes to how we would push back here, considering what chinanaonsi isg to this country with espionage, with hacking of our intellectual property? what what do youal think we coud do? well, first of all, as you know, under president trump, i served for four years inrv the pacificed. i saw firsthand what they do in that region. buildingid, and militarizing islands, changing the law of the year and law of the sea and international has been in place for hundreds of years over leveraging pacific island nations to get u.n. votes. they're very methodical and thoughtful. they bring th in people to buil a project. they bring the people the fooddh ,the architectural supplies. they leave the people there and they slowly but surely take over these island nations. one of the things that we need to do n is we need to do a free trade deals with a lot of these individual countries. we need to give them the a suppt . for example, in new england and new zealand, weew don't hav' a trade deal . it's been promised since 1954. we have one now version of it, but they need the backbone and we're not giving this areas the support that they need from the united states . you know,rt when we think about backbone, one does not normallyi think of joe biden.nkde gentlemen, thankn. you very muc. we've got obviously a lot on our plate. thank you very much. now keep in mind, speakern pelosi defied the biden a administration by going to taiwan. is president biden so weak on china? does it have something too h dod with hunter and his lucrative business deals or maybe joe's years long close personal friendship with president xi or could it be that biden is just weak and ineffective? joining us now with more is the host of the monica crowley podcast. monica crowley, along with gates donates to senior fellow gordon chang. you know, wend touched on this with our first two guests is that it seems perplexing, monica, about joe biden's inability to act a, it seems not just on china but almostev on every other issue unless, of course, it's hurting the american people. do you think that thiss ist is really a personal problem that joe biden has when comes to his dealings in the past of a china and that it keeps him from being able to do the right thing? well, remember to me that president obama heads off for eight years once said never underestimate joe biden's ability to bleep things up. and then robert gates, who served a numberr of presidents as secretary of defense, said that joe biden has been wrongnd on every forein policy issue for the last 40 to 50 years. soy again, this is no surprise.e joe biden's always j been a hac, but nowen he is president of the united states and america's commander in chief and therees is evidence that the biden family has benefited tremendoust leave from the ccp and chinese communist party related p entities to the tune of well over 10 million dollars. so the ccpilli, those entities o not write those kinds of checks inrnut expecting somethingoe return. so obviously there's a lot of speculation to me as to whether or not this president is compromised and if so, shame on joe biden for putting his families and personal interests ahead of america's nationalal security interests. and ahead s of the american people. this is why, you know, we havedo tremendous weakness in dealing with this fundamental existential threat to us , the threats of the ccp poses to us , timi. . it's far more dangerous than anything the soviet union presentedd to us because the soviets essentially presented a one dimensional threat which wasas nuclear and t was existential. the chinese threat is a hydra headed threat. it's economic. it's military, it's geostrategic. it's in terms of flooding this countryte with deadly fentanyl and other drugs, killing hundreds of thousands ofentanyl hundreds of americans t. this is a multi layered threat and this president is crippled in so many ways that he can't h and won't take them. you know, it's remarkable. an excellent analysis there, gordon. clearlyrkab your background inde understanding the nature of the beast of china, that they are everywhere they've planned so far ahead of time that it seems unlikely that somehow america would allowou someone, let's say, beholden too china, becomew the president of the united states is this period of time. actually is perfect considering what's been dealt with and delivereded up until this point. what's your take on how where we stand right now? i think we're in very, very perilous waters. you know the problem right now is that inside china there is a debt crisis. sankaran mortgage boycott's covid lockdown's. and that means xi jinping, the chinese ruler, has an incentive to distract the chinese people from his own policy mistakes. and that means chinana is lashig out. and if we think about taiwan, of course, because of the speaker's visit. now china is also moving against india. the philippines and japan. those m missile launches a few hours ago, they land five of those 11 missiles landed in11 japanese water. that is an extreme provocation and addition to obviously still the relationship between china n and north korea and north korea's pressuree on japan as well. clearly our key relationship ini that region. door you think that north korea seems to be wanting to get somer attention, but thated is almost ignored by this administration. do you think north korea is going to pop up in the midst of this presenting anotherin larger existential issueg? rv yes,iv analysts right now are thinking that the north koreans will detonate an atomic device soon. and we've got to remember that although they haven't done it for a long time, they've got to validate their test designs so t they will pop one off in the not too distant future. essi tand we know you know, mon thank you, sir.. we know that, of course, iran has an interest in what north korea hasst been doing.ik ite seems like this now becomes this entire by this trio of countries, but by these terrorist nations, if you will , to want to act now quickly in the next year and aal half, as the bidenf administration becomes weakerec and more troubled here atom hom, john , there is close coordination and cooperation between russia, china and iran as well as north korea sort of on the fringes, but they're all working hand in glove and all t of america's enemies understand that they've got a pretty limited window of opportunityhe here, timid toir act and to advance their own interests at the expense of ours. they know that t congress is likely to change handsay starting january 1st, maybe both houses. so m there might be some additional restrictions. but they also realize that they've got another t two years under this president orr a successor before there is a change in leadership at the top in the u.s.. y and so, you know, you can't really blame america's enemies for seizing this opportunity. you know, they've been negligent if they didn't. butls they also know that i the u.s.s is not going to retaliate in any meaningful way because the commander in chief justice is not going to pull the trigger in any meaningful way. so of course, they're going to take this time and frankly,he the u.s. is down for the count, then our allies are down fordo wnthe count. and there are tremendous concern in the region and japan, south t korea, the philippines, australia, a lot of worries that in facty they're on their own t because essentially they are. yeah, we we heard eah about that certainly after afghanistan indeed. especially concerns from taiwan about being on their own. so we're excellent reminders. thank you both very much. t now, sadly, it's difficult to know exactly what joe biden policy on china really is because the president is unable to articulate it every single day whenev joe actually holdser a public event, the leader of the free world struggles o to form coherent sentences. and today was norent different. >> take a look at this. you know, i know most families are focused on just putting three meals on the table, taking care of their kids and paying the bills, helpinghe you do that is my job. it's the president's job as well. when it comes to the benefits of this bill , you don't have to take my word for it. one hundred and thirty economists, seven nobel to the economy and economists t and economics say former secretaries of treasury. what what is it with those sunglass? my my goodness.f they could put them anywhere they want too and away from the sunlight. but they've got the president, ssthe united states looking like he's hiding. joining us now with reaction is fox news contributor to roy murdoch, along with the vice president of tax strategiesks, aaron perini. deroy, you look at this and i think of all of these banana republic, you know, bad guys walking around with a car and they've got the big sunglasses on and they're it's shocking j just the imagery of that. but thenus the fact that we cant inen know what it was he was trying to say and thatbl he's stumbling around at such a incredibly important point inn time as the worldcr is watching and the world is ready to explode. yes, it's funny. make that reference to banana republics. i saw biden in those glasses. remember noriega, the former dictator of panama, his first thought i had in mind. but with those folks who usually refer to them as strongmen. but this is not a strong man. i mean, he's got these strong a man glasses but a weak man policies. and that's what concerns me more . it's not just the atmosphere of how he looks, but on china, on the economy, on the border, everything else. it's weakness, weakness, weakness. coupled with this, you 230 economists who are backing this so-called inflation reduction and inflation expansion. just yesterday we got an open letter from two hundred thirty economists who denounced this this tax spend package and said, if anything, it'st' probably going to increase inflation rather than decrease . so it's not just the bad look, but it's the bad policies behind them that notad are even more scary. yeah, it's interesting how things are around kind ofar coming together. it's it almost seems cartoonish with how bad things are and then how this is acting oute on on the world stage. but when we think about the nature of the policies that we everything they've touched has gone wrong, there has not been one thing that has gone right. evenri a broken clock is right twice a day. they've managed to not be right twice a day. and this everyone looking at we can see how it is an extension of the problems that have already been implementeded. how what do you say to their commitment to moving forward with something that continues to throw gas on the fire? why are they doing itwhy? it's's because they don't think that the policies are the issues here. th athey think that the communication is the problem, not the policies and thatthmuem is what is causig the american people to face c record high inflation. you can't put sunglasses on someone and make them a. rld leader wewe warned everybody about thiw during the twenty twenty campaign that he was hiding in his basement, that the media continue to give him a pass and say, oh, well, h because of covid, heis shouldn't be out there. but they continue to not push him on his policies. and what do we have now? we have china threateningve the speaker of the house when she goes abroad. we have not seen that before. we literally have a war in ukraine from russia because of joe biden's recklessness in terms of nord stream two and emboldening putin when it comes to absolutely everything. robert gates was right. joe biden has been on the wronge side of almost every foreigngn policy and national securityna failure over the last fourl decades. but the problem with the white house is they don't w think that the problem is the policy of putting more money into p raging inflation economy, of not addressing the underlying issueses of wiping out paycheck gains.s. they don't think that's the problem. they just think that d the american people aren't buying what they're selling. so you're the problem, not them externally. hello. that's not the problem here. the problem here is joe biden. you're driving america into the ground and maybe it's enough. you shouldn't run for reelection. you know, deroy, it's almost we keep hearing about this painful transition. it's as though they've gotti a mission and an end goal in mind. and the american people aren like shadows to them who are going to have to suffer becauses they've got some some more important morally superior point of view that'll show up at some point. p is it possible that they'vey really sunk that low, that whatg the american people are going through doesn't matter because' elections are controlled and they are going to be in control for the foreseeable future. are they that callous at this point, do you think? c i think they're callous and uncaring and these are people with a very strong ideological commitment to i far left ideas. i think some of these people f are full blown marxists. and you thinkar they look at the polls and say, well, you know, we really got to save our bacon in november, so let's move back towards the middle. yourx don't see that these peopa are pushing a four hundredre thirty three billion dollars in spending package that may get through the senate tomorrow . this is seven hundred and thirty billion dollars grand total in taxes and spending and there is no pivot to the middle. toth be anyt seem softening. these people are going pedal to the metal and going ever further left because these people are leftist. they believe this stuff and joev biden is never a moderate. he's always a solid, solider led wing democrat. and this is the kind of policy we're getting out of this out of this white house. it's not f like the bill clinton days where there was a bit of centrism that those days are long, long gone. yeah, and the bill clinton days or bill clinton enjoyed governing. right. hillary was the ideologue. and that's why we actually got some things done during that administration. and thanks to both of you, obviously a horrible time. and that bill , we're going b to be talking about in much more detail coming up. kirstyn cinema , in fact, has kate on biden's radical tax and spend bill . so whatt can we expect on the hill?
