following the headlines. natasha, first to you. this is a change from the white house. the white house is pushing back very hard on what it says is inf en inflammatory behavior by china. they said please don t up the ante here. now they re making public the fact that they have in fact summoned the chinese ambassador to the u.s. to the white house to essentially give him a dressing down about china s provocations against taiwan in recent days. they had said numerous times that they expected that china would have some kind of reaction to this visit by pelosi, which was extremely offensive to the chinese. but the white house has been, you know, kind of willing to respond in a meaningful way now to the chinese activities that we have seen around taiwan, which are really escalatory and are the most that we have seen in decades. so what the white house is saying now is that they re reiterating to the chinese that this is unacceptable, that the u.s. position on taiwan has no ....
Month of legislative wins for democrats, you have this bill, granted if the parliamentarian comes through on it, it appears to have the votes, the chips act which you mentioned, you had agreement on nato and finland, bipartisan votes joining and gun legislation, a lot of folks thought was not possible. yet at the same time you have many members of the president s own party speaking openly saying that president biden shouldn t run for president in 2024. rick wilson, he tweeted this point earlier today, said democrats can t organize a two-car motorcade but can turn the gun on their the leader of their own party 90 days before the election. the president in the last six weeks we have seen gas prices lower at the pump for the last seven weeks going down. we re seeing a major bill on ....
U.s. position on taiwan has not changed over many decades and has not changed because of pelosi s visit to taiwan. and that there is no reason for china to be carrying out these provocations because the united states is not prepared to accept that taiwan is going to be independent. so reiterating they re not going to back down, the u.s. won t, they will continue their operations in the western pacific and also saying, look, this upping of the ante here, this new status quo you re trying to create by trying to push the united states out of this orbit is not going to work. that makes the point that what is unprecedented is not the visit, it is the exercises here. selina wang, in beijing, taiwan reporting a record number of incidents now by china s people s liberation army. tell us on what scale, because we have seen the missile launches, the military exercises in waters around taiwan. what else is taiwan witnessing? well now taiwanese officials are saying that 68 chinese warplanes fl ....
Make a deal, it doesn t have to work that way. in any case in any country in the world, the prosecutor can decide at any point to drop a case, even before a conviction and sentence happens. this is how it worked in russia before, so it is not a surprise this is what they were saying. it put brittney griner into an impossible situation where the conviction rate in a russian court is like 99.5%. and so she was i think really compelled and induced to plead guilty in order to not have this process play out forever. but that s no guarantee the russians will play ball. we have to wait and see. just quickly for folks watching now, should they feel confident, hopeful that britntny griner will gain her freedom long before that nine year sentence is up? yeah, i would be shocked if she served anything close to that. but i don t see it being resolved in the next couple of weeks. we re talking many months at a minimum. and i think this multilateral ....
The deal. so to me it is a bit of a side show in terms of the public diplomacy there. at the end of the day, the united states is trying to force the issue and move it forward and, you know, ultimately we have to see whether vladimir putin will play ball. you made the point that there really needs to be some sort of multilateral response to address this broader phenomenon. it is not just russia has done it. iran has done it, you represented clients there. you take americans, accuse them of nonexistent crime or a trumped up crime, you give them a massive sentence and then say, what are you going to give me in return. so what is your suggestion for how the u.s. and its partners can kind of push back against this phenomenon? yeah, look, i think the biggest mistake we as a country have made, you know, really began the beginning of the the takeover of the u.s. embassy ....
