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 action could come as close to 12 miles to the taiwan coast and will violate its nautical and air territorial space. taiwan says it will disrupt its shipping and flights and increase the chance of a dangerous run-in. the last time things got so hot in the region was back in 1995 and 1996. then u.s. naval assets were quickly deployed to the region. now in part due to the pelosi visit they are already there including the ronald reagan aircraft carrier strike group. washington continues to warn
beijing not to turn this into a crisis. harris, speaker pelosi we now see has arrived in south korea. she goes to tokyo. both places are perilously close to and threatened by by jaing. back to you. harris: thank you very much. unlikely support for the house speaker, some of her republican colleagues wholeheartedly are applauding this trip. to use four words in a row that i haven t used in this way before and those four words are speaker pelosi was right. i have think it s important the speaker did go to taiwan. what it underscores i think is the mistake the president made in getting into reprimanding the speaker publicly. i think he should have said nothing about it. harris: want to know where more chill is coming from? those proper glesives.
