0:00 [Music] the white house scrambles to avoid a crisis amid pelosi visit to taiwan oh yeah this is ████ wild i thought china was supposed to blow her out of there they didn't keep to their words they talk and talk and all yeah cause they said if you visit right they're like we're gonna blow your ass out of the air and then everyone was so scared for her but she was brave in her little business suit and she's like i'm going anyways in her in her pink business suit yeah by the way according to right wing comedy channels they're saying you know the way that they got back at us is by giving us uh pelosi back safely solid solid the house speaker stop in taiwan makes her the highest ranking u.s

0:50 visitor there in recent years prompting threats anger and military maneuvers from beijing wow you know as soon as she left though you know what they started doing is firing off ████ rockets and they're saying we're just doing some military exercises but to me that's kind of like he's like i ain't ████ you up yeah i'm just touching you you know like setting up ████ tanks pointed at you yeah they're like ████ pulling out all they're cleaning all their guns and loading them i'm just ████ doing nothing beat it guys we're not fighting we're not fighting that's why world diplomacy is a ████ joke like the fact that we're all it's it's just it's just kindergarten ████ like the way that we have a un too it's like hey dude it's like oh man ████ lithuania's getting drunk

1:40 oh my god if he starts swinging on people we all gotta ████ bail his ass out of this ████ i can't believe this is pelosi's actual reason to visit because i heard she went against what biden wanted right damn well the biden state department definitely says we don't recognize taiwan but they're not saying like yo ████ you pelosi don't go but they're tacitly saying that and then pelosi goes we have to protect taiwan as a country or something oh ████ and that's what pissed china off because they're like they're not a country she's not supposed to recognize them i thought pelosi was like i gotta go check up on my stocks and investments over there i mean there's there's that's well that's part of what their people are saying too is like like you know she is invested in semiconductors and ████ yeah i gotta protect my insider that's heavily over there yeah so the white house worked urgently to de-escalate tensions with china as house speaker nancy pelosi met wednesday with

2:30 taiwanese president tsai and when other officials during a high-profile visit to the self-governing island against the administration's wishes hoping to head off a geopolitical crisis amid threats and military maneuvers right so it was against the administration why have you a good play where it's like we told her not to go just ████ go we told her not to go but what exactly did they say not like not to go because bain and hunter are ████ sucking china's dick so i think they don't want ████ pelosi to go over there ████ hunter has a lot of business in china white house officials warned that china is preparing itself for possible aggressive actions in response to pelosi's visit beyond this week and they reiterated forcefully that the chinese communist party should not use the visit as a pretext to increase military activity in and around taiwan straight we've seen a number of announcements from the people's republic of china in just the last several hours that are

3:20 unfortunately right in line with what we had anticipated white house spokesman john kirby said on tuesday china has positioned itself to take further steps and we expect that they will continue to react over a longer term horizon now straight up we already know there's a ████ ton of tension between china and taiwan and a lot of people like even in china i've heard some little some little you know birdies whispering stuff like that too that a very very similar russia ukraine type of situation is going to happen and it's not going to happen this year is going to happen within the next couple years that's exactly how russia did it we're like it's a military exercise what are you guys talking about nah we're just ████ chilling dude and then last moment they're like we're inside yeah and anthony let me tell you something right now oh ████ the glasses are coming on okay that's not gonna happen

4:10 the same way that i told you that russia will not go into ukraine there's no ████ way that that will happen thank you you did it again i actually think you were one of the first reason people to tell me that russia was going into you oh no no no oh i get i mean uh let's see pelosi's visit has deeply angered china which for years has sought to diplomatically isolate the island and considers any visit by a high-level foreign dignitary as an expression of support for taiwanese independence i wanted to ████ go to the night market at taiwan now i can't go what kind of food you get there dude they have this corner where they got a lady that boils ████ a lady that steams ████ a lady that fries ████ a lady that

5:00 like there's like any type of grill stuff so like it's like you could get like hey you want some grilled octopus or you want it boiled or you want it ████ smothered in like stinky tofu sauce what do you want and it's like different cooking techniques it's so ████ good night market out there is bomb as ████ yeah yeah and then and then you could get like some fake ass ████ louis vuitton and ████ that they don't even make but it looks real and they could get some like t-shirts five or two cents or something yeah i went i went to the airport i went to their airport and i was like they can keep it virtually all the senior members of president biden's national security team have privately expressed deep reservations about the trip and its timing said a white house official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss internal deliberation but why is

5:50 ████ pelosi going rogue and ████ like she could have done that ████ could have done a ████ face time but she had to make a spectacle out of it creating tensions like why ████ google hangouts everybody's been doing that like she couldn't just she didn't have to go there dude like what was she missing like she's like you know what but there's this in tao shunga foreign there's like ████ there's this stinky tofu that i love i got this onion pancake man like and on top of that like i really got it to feng shui and ████ i want my ████ reading by this magic like chinese warlock over there and then like she's like i gotta go dude so there's really no public known reason why she went at all my problem with it is that my problem with it is that the left and the right seem to be okay with it so i'm just like suss all over it i'm just like

6:41 yeah i don't trust this ████ at all actually something going on with it that i don't know what it is but there's something going on yeah when they both don't really criticize it that's when you're getting maximum ████ yeah like george collins said anytime there's bipartisanship exactly that's when you're getting all the way nobody's raising a fuss but then china itself is ████ over it exactly how the ████ i don't know how they're ████ me but they're ████ me yeah pelosi specifically said our uh well she said uh the speaker who was accompanied by several other members of congress dismissed the notion that her trip was unduly uh provocative she stressed that it did not alter america's approach of strategic ambiguity which neither supports taiwan's independence nor opposes it and she cited a variety of long-standing american policy positions on china and taiwan our visit is one of several congressional delegations to taiwan and in no way contradicts long-standing united states policy guided by the

7:31 taiwan relations act of 1979. u.s china joint community communicates and the six assurances she said in america statement the united states continues to pose unilateral efforts to change the status quo so basically i hate to break it to her but uh ambiguity is opposing it that is opposition totally yeah it's it's exactly the same way that people say that ambiguity about trans rights opposes trans rights it's like the same ████ ████ yeah and i had you know my my taiwanese homies are like why the ████ she had to go visit the country like you know the second a bunch of chinese ████ military ships and planes and stuff go go into six maritime areas around taiwan just post up getting ready for ████ it's like because our house speaker went to go visit taiwan for what she's stirring some ████ up and she

8:23 doesn't even have to stay there that's like me coming over to your house and then you're like neighbors kind of mean so i start ████ fighting with your neighbor and i go peace and i go home and now you gotta ████ live with this neighbor that you guys might fist fight how long was she there for do you know and talks to the leader and goes hey you guys should just rejoin china yeah what was the talks about like what if that's what i didn't wanted me to tell you guys oh that's what you went there to say they feel all guilty they're like i know damn all the tanks do u-turns now yeah they overreacted the tank girl goes they say sorry for overreacting yeah they're like god dude you know like with history and all that with between us like i had noises damn dude that'd be

9:13 ████ funny not funny but pelosi would be leading the congressional visit in taiwan through wednesday focusing on u.s taiwan relations security trade the covet 19 pandemic the climate crisis human rights and other issues of quote mutual interest should meet with a bunch of startups out there for more insider trading she is really ████ up that veneer of like u.s submitting to china though you know what i don't get though it's like by the time you're like 70 80 pushing on well your face is melting off right worth 80 million yeah why the ████ do you care more about making more like are you trying to create like legacy at this point where you just want so much for your future generations like at that point what why you keep hustling maybe you're

10:03 not in the clear yet maybe you owe something because of the wealth that you committed you you have to do something or or several so it's not about the money anymore maybe it's like you're just you're just observing it or you're a pawn yeah like she just has to do it who knows i'm sure by the scale you know how things scale we're like so she has 80 mil but i'm sure she's not the richest person she knows and i'm sure the 80 million is nothing to elon yeah and i'm sure whoever person she respects probably dwarfs her ████ net worth all i know is you do the right thing and you get voted out a house or senate you get shuffled into the defense industry or you get to go work at any of these places where they set you up with a cushy job you don't have to ████ sweat things and you just get to collect and collect they don't even make as much as the silicon valley people they chose the wrong jobs it's the favorite debt i believe at that point you probably owe a lot of

10:53 people a lot of actions because the kind of favor that i like is like hey dude you've been bringing a lot of ████ donuts here now i feel like here's a donut for you so like i gotta i gotta give you a cupcake or something yeah you know like damn [Music] that's the kind of favorite you need to show my i get you a build-a-bear gift card and then we're square and then we're even now no more donuts dude yeah stop stop bringing it up at night dude with these donuts i don't like this unfair thing where you just keep giving and giving without anything you know in return i feel like that gets so tricky though because then like you just antsy up every single time and then you just have to outshine each other about dad yeah asian dads like asian dad gift giving you know they're all competing through like i'll get you yeah each fruit basket gets bigger and bigger

11:43 as you go ████ back and forth but before you know it they're ████ giving you a farm and ████ julia do you recognize taiwan uh yeah why not why not i mean i don't i don't have any ties to taiwan per se but i think i think i do see them as like they've created themselves like their own name and they have their own system but they're not their own country or are they i mean i see it as their own country oh shh you heard it here on jk news and a few official media sources recognizing julia is so controversial i know a country when i see one

12:45 you
