RUSH TRANSCRIPT Neil thanks ░░░░░░░░ Griffin at the Pentagon ░░░░░░░░ Chinese have not responded ░░░░░░░░ this latest news from ░░░░░░░░ Arabia offering this 40 ░░░░░░░░ in aid What they ░░░░░░░░ responded to is an ░░░░░░░░ delegation that made its ░░░░░░░░ to Taiwan the last ░░░░░░░░ days Republicans and Democrats ░░░░░░░░ China called it a ░░░░░░░░ act We have two ░░░░░░░░ back from that journey ░░░░░░░░ Khanna and Texas Robert ░░░░░░░░ Tony gonzalez Gentlemen welcome ░░░░░░░░ both of you Obviously ░░░░░░░░ was a bipartisan effort ░░░░░░░░ to you congressman gonzalez ░░░░░░░░ Why make the trip ░░░░░░░░ that the reaction would ░░░░░░░░ just as you discovered ░░░░░░░░ China that it was ░░░░░░░░ Almost as bad as ░░░░░░░░ Nancy Pelosi went they ░░░░░░░░ Yeah here in the ░░░░░░░░ we don t pay ░░░░░░░░ to what the communist ░░░░░░░░ propaganda puts out It ░░░░░░░░ important that the house ░░░░░░░░ 2 often we point ░░░░░░░░ the white Hughes for ░░░░░░░░ doing x y or ░░░░░░░░ The house representatives is ░░░░░░░░ equal Branch of government ░░░░░░░░ is an area that ░░░░░░░░ a bipartisan effort too ░░░░░░░░ all across the globe ░░░░░░░░ stand with our allies ░░░░░░░░ I was in the ░░░░░░░░ we used to fly ░░░░░░░░ a p 3 surveillance ░░░░░░░░ against China and China ░░░░░░░░ come out and they ░░░░░░░░ harass our airplanes The ░░░░░░░░ same thing is happening ░░░░░░░░ The only thing is ░░░░░░░░ re harassing our p ░░░░░░░░ China is being irresponsible ░░░░░░░░ it s important to ░░░░░░░░ bipartisan direction when we ░░░░░░░░ out and talk about ░░░░░░░░ in the world Neil ░░░░░░░░ to you congressman Ro ░░░░░░░░ We re committing now ░░░░░░░░ troops to Taiwan I ░░░░░░░░ from around 30 now ░░░░░░░░ that is something else ░░░░░░░░ is not been greeted ░░░░░░░░ Not surprisingly by Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ you support that Some ░░░░░░░░ at that as a ░░░░░░░░ view of coming a ░░░░░░░░ that we ll send ░░░░░░░░ What do you say ░░░░░░░░ commitment to train Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ its own self defense ░░░░░░░░ appropriate There s nothing ░░░░░░░░ about politicians going to ░░░░░░░░ given our ties with ░░░░░░░░ conductors given that President ░░░░░░░░ that signed the Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ act and recognized China ░░░░░░░░ t in Taiwan in ░░░░░░░░ There s no reason ░░░░░░░░ think that we can ░░░░░░░░ continue this tradition president ░░░░░░░░ let me ask you ░░░░░░░░ congressman gonzalez If China ░░░░░░░░ Taiwan is that an ░░░░░░░░ of war President Biden ░░░░░░░░ made it very clear ░░░░░░░░ we are going to ░░░░░░░░ with Taiwan that we ░░░░░░░░ going remain there by ░░░░░░░░ allies We have to ░░░░░░░░ to a point I ░░░░░░░░ 20 years in the ░░░░░░░░ I spent five years ░░░░░░░░ Iraq an Afghanistan I ░░░░░░░░ to prevent wars I ░░░░░░░░ t want to see ░░░░░░░░ got drug Neil I ░░░░░░░░ that But if China ░░░░░░░░ Taiwan despite that is ░░░░░░░░ an act of war ░░░░░░░░ which we should commit ░░░░░░░░ 100 I would argue ░░░░░░░░ China is doing that ░░░░░░░░ thing right now in ░░░░░░░░ space That s where ░░░░░░░░ wars star They start ░░░░░░░░ cyber and goo on ░░░░░░░░ there It s important ░░░░░░░░ we have a bipartisan ░░░░░░░░ continue to make this ░░░░░░░░ and show that America ░░░░░░░░ going to stand by ░░░░░░░░ allies Neil all right ░░░░░░░░ that mean then to ░░░░░░░░ as well congressman Ro ░░░░░░░░ that China inviting Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ take it back as ░░░░░░░░ says it s theirs ░░░░░░░░ that we should commit ░░░░░░░░ serves to defending Taiwan ░░░░░░░░ U S soldiers in ░░░░░░░░ Well first of all ░░░░░░░░ me echo what representative ░░░░░░░░ said We can and ░░░░░░░░ avoid war in China ░░░░░░░░ was clear to me ░░░░░░░░ the president there and ░░░░░░░░ leadership there If we ░░░░░░░░ Taiwan build up its ░░░░░░░░ and deterrence and at ░░░░░░░░ same time have engagement ░░░░░░░░ s no reason there ░░░░░░░░ to be war That ░░░░░░░░ be the goal A ░░░░░░░░ there would be catastrophic ░░░░░░░░ the world and the ░░░░░░░░ economy Neil sounds like ░░░░░░░░ is preparing for something ░░░░░░░░ They re not just ░░░░░░░░ out of vapor So ░░░░░░░░ m wondering whether you ░░░░░░░░ support that If it ░░░░░░░░ to that I would ░░░░░░░░ what our policy has ░░░░░░░░ with the Taiwan relation ░░░░░░░░ which says that we ░░░░░░░░ support Taiwan in its ░░░░░░░░ its purposely ambiguous and ░░░░░░░░ be the call of ░░░░░░░░ commander in chief at ░░░░░░░░ time That policy has ░░░░░░░░ us well from a ░░░░░░░░ security perspective since the ░░░░░░░░ of Nixon and kissinger ░░░░░░░░ I affirm that policy ░░░░░░░░ gentlemen we got news ░░░░░░░░ Saudi Arabia is providing ░░░░░░░░ million of aid to ░░░░░░░░ A lot of people ░░░░░░░░ wondering the timing of ░░░░░░░░ Saudi Arabia has had ░░░░░░░░ you know congressman gonzalez ░░░░░░░░ cozying up and appearing ░░░░░░░░ to Russia But this ░░░░░░░░ might have turned on ░░░░░░░░ fact that Iran is ░░░░░░░░ drones and other weapons ░░░░░░░░ the Russians and that ░░░░░░░░ the last straw Do ░░░░░░░░ agree with that congressman ░░░░░░░░ that had it not ░░░░░░░░ for Iran s involvement ░░░░░░░░ help Russia Saudi Arabia ░░░░░░░░ have never offered this ░░░░░░░░ It s interesting to ░░░░░░░░ Saudi Arabia acting on ░░░░░░░░ now Ly say this ░░░░░░░░ a moment in the ░░░░░░░░ s history where are ░░░░░░░░ going to fall Are ░░░░░░░░ going to support the ░░░░░░░░ of Russia who have ░░░░░░░░ add sovereign nation or ░░░░░░░░ fighting for democracy in ░░░░░░░░ homeland Imagine Texas if ░░░░░░░░ invaded parts of Texas ░░░░░░░░ re not going to ░░░░░░░░ okay you can have ░░░░░░░░ Texas We re going ░░░░░░░░ make sure that every ░░░░░░░░ of Texas came back ░░░░░░░░ I think it s ░░░░░░░░ that more countries like ░░░░░░░░ Arabia continue to support ░░░░░░░░ in their effort to ░░░░░░░░ themselves and their sovereignty ░░░░░░░░ congressman Ro Khanna on ░░░░░░░░ same issue In Republicans ░░░░░░░░ the house are leading ░░░░░░░░ effort to audit a ░░░░░░░░ of the monies that ░░░░░░░░ give Ukraine I talked ░░░░░░░░ the Ukrainian ambassador who ░░░░░░░░ she s fine with ░░░░░░░░ No money is being ░░░░░░░░ Some fear that scrutiny ░░░░░░░░ a precursor to pulling ░░░░░░░░ aid or not as ░░░░░░░░ aid How do you ░░░░░░░░ about this We should ░░░░░░░░ our aid partly because ░░░░░░░░ Putin has done is ░░░░░░░░ and violating the sovereignty ░░░░░░░░ another nation and to ░░░░░░░░ extent you Claire about ░░░░░░░░ a clear message to ░░░░░░░░ that they shouldn t ░░░░░░░░ Taiwan We have to ░░░░░░░░ in deterring Putin So ░░░░░░░░ should be cheering Ukrainian ░░░░░░░░ They ve had a ░░░░░░░░ of success on the ░░░░░░░░ We need to make ░░░░░░░░ that they re able ░░░░░░░░ maintain their sovereignty Neil ░░░░░░░░ right gentlemen Glad you ░░░░░░░░ made it back safely ░░░░░░░░ Taiwan Caused quite a ░░░░░░░░ up in China
