mccarthy this week says no one tells me who i meet with as speaker of the house, let alone china. we saw the codel in taiwan, bipartisanship there. it seems like the administration might be behind congress on this a bit. absolutely, you are right, it is great to see bipartisan leadership and strength from congress on this issue, especially when the strength is lacking from the biden administration. one thing i would say about kevin mccarthy s trip to taiwan, i wish he would have publicly pressured taiwan for their own defense, if imminent, taiwan s defense spending is not where it needs to be to survive such an invasion and we need to make clear we will step in and support our allies, we are not the only world superpower, the countries need to do lifting of their own, that is what i would
