| 0:31.4 | Today is going to be probably a little shorter. I'm trying to |
| 0:34.1 | fit this into a tight schedule here, but I do want to mention a couple news |
| 0:40.0 | items to begin. One is regarding Taiwan. I think it's the very first |
| 0:46.0 | podcast that I did if you look back in the in the timeline I mentioned I talked |
| 0:51.2 | about Taiwan I talked a little about the how Taiwan functions in relation to mainland China and I think I said that |
| 0:58.4 | We're not worried I'm not worried so much about an actual physical attack trying to physically take over |
| 1:06.9 | the island, bombard the island per se, as much as China would like to convince Taiwan to surrender, to convince them that there's no hope, |
