0:00

well holy smokes China's cyber attacks

0:04

could potentially take down our entire

0:06

Financial system that's not good if

0:08

you're exposed to stocks and we have to

0:11

analyze is it possible that China could

0:14

potentially launch a war against Taiwan

0:17

and what would potentially hacker groups

0:20

do to America what parts of America

0:22

could get hit could take talk

0:25

potentially be weaponized to destroy our

0:29

ability to respond to a threat against

0:32

Taiwan in the defense of Taiwan which

0:36

Joe Biden has promised if China were to

0:39

invade Taiwan we have promised to

0:42

respond well China just drove one of

0:45

their warships through the Taiwanese

0:46

straight against International

0:49

commitments and folks the fog of War

0:52

seems to be thickening and a lot of

0:54

people are suggesting what could happen

0:56

now in my opinion well I'll save my

0:59

opinion towards the end when I talk

1:01

about what the People's Bank of China is

1:03

actually up to right now but what I'd

1:05

like to start with is a piece by

1:07

Politico on what might happen if China

1:10

invades Taiwan take a look at this if

1:13

China invades Taiwan they are likely to

1:16

unleash a volley of digital strikes in

1:19

the United States at the same time which

1:21

I wrote it makes you wonder if Tick Tock

1:23

could be weaponized as part of their

1:25

Cyber attack strategy but it's not even

1:28

just Tick Tock take a look at this uh

1:30

we're going to go through we'll jump

1:32

over here here we go here is how China

1:34

could potentially attack Us number one

1:36

military systems and transport methods

1:40

for sending troops and supplies to

1:43

Taiwan are likely to be at the top list

1:47

of of attack for Chinese hackers

1:50

ultimately this could mean that ports on

1:54

the west coast potentially like Port

1:56

Hueneme Los Angeles Long Beach could

1:59

come under attack to help limit The

2:03

Troop and Supply movement from United

2:05

States the United States to Taiwan and

2:08

so potentially Chinese strikes on our

2:11

ports are being reported by Politico

2:13

this isn't me making this up Politico is

2:15

literally analyzing the real threats

2:18

that American systems could face one of

2:20

these we'll be talking about in a moment

2:21

is our financial system but ports are

2:25

actually at a threat now usually when I

2:28

think about moving troops and supplies I

2:30

just think about uh Halo and the anime

2:33

has captured Captain keys and they're

2:34

holding aboard one of their Cruisers The

2:36

Truth and Reconciliation the ship is

2:38

currently located and then Cortana the

2:41

ship is used to transfer troops and

2:43

Supply whatever this this is childhood

2:45

memories I don't know why that tangent

2:47

is coming up but the point is like now

2:49

it's actually feeling like real like

2:51

targeting the movement of troops and

2:53

supplies could happen but it's not just

2:55

then the reports stressed that such a

2:58

strike would be designed to deter per

3:00

the U.S military from being able to even

3:03

decide what to do but listen to this

3:05

inducing societal panic and then

3:09

therefore interfering with the

3:11

deployment of U.S forces now this is

3:13

where when they talk about societal

3:14

panic I think there's nothing more that

3:16

you could do to create societal Panic

3:18

than potentially blowing up people's

3:20

phones somehow and I have to say after I

3:23

read this article I made sure Tick Tock

3:25

was not installed on any of my devices

3:27

I'll go I'll go on with a VPN and on

3:29

like uh on like a computer or something

3:31

like that maybe but maybe but then again

3:34

I haven't even used it recently but

3:35

anyway so to highlight uh okay here's

3:37

the next one where they could get you

3:39

China has invested a lot of money into

3:42

guess what U.S ports so they'll go as

3:45

far as basically talking about crane

3:47

malware that lawmakers now were alleging

3:50

that China could literally shut down the

3:52

trade the cranes that move equipment uh

3:57

and supplies onto ships

4:00

uh or or are military vessels China

4:03

could literally just shut down the

4:05

cranes potentially because they

4:06

manufactured them they also have cameras

4:09

on these cranes which some folks say the

4:11

cameras on our cranes and our American

4:13

ports could potentially be used by China

4:16

to spy on us how much are we moving what

4:19

kind of troops and supplies are we

4:20

moving maybe in the case of cranes it

4:22

would be uh supplies rather than just

4:23

troops but anyway uh the question now is

4:26

hey how much of a defense does the

4:29

United States actually have against

4:31

these things what kind of cyber warfare

4:35

weapons and defenses do we actually have

4:38

to safeguard our military networks those

4:41

are questions another thing that could

4:43

absolutely be open for attack are our

4:47

energy infrastructure after all in 2021

4:50

a ransomware attack on a major East

4:53

Coast gas line here as political says

4:56

temporarily caused widespread gas

4:58

shortages and led to long lines at the

5:00

pump in illustrating the societal

5:03

disruption that China could cause and

5:05

China could do this to create panic in

5:07

chaos but it would just not be energy or

5:10

electricity could also be water take a

5:12

look at this a hacker in 2021 gained

5:15

access to networks in a Florida Water

5:17

treatment center and what they did is

5:19

they tried to poison the water supply I

5:22

did some more research on this and what

5:23

they tried to do was remotely access the

5:26

water supply network and then increase

5:29

the level in the water of sodium

5:32

hydroxide that is a base that's used for

5:35

pH balance and they basically tried to

5:37

100 Exit which then makes the water

5:39

become corrosive it could decompose

5:42

tissue cause chemical burns it's

5:44

important to handle sodium hydroxide

5:47

with gloves and eye protection because

5:49

it is so corrosive it's used to make

5:51

soaps and other chemicals

5:54

uh they said a water districts in

5:56

Southern California where I live have

5:58

been targeted as well and look at this

6:00

business and financial markets China has

6:03

a history of hacking U.S companies

6:05

remember they just stole more Trade

6:07

Secrets From asml and advanced ship and

6:10

advanced lithography manufacturer and

6:12

China has a history of hacking these

6:14

sorts of companies they've prioritized

6:16

financial gain in stealing intellectual

6:19

property which may be if they go over to

6:21

boxable they'll realize there is no

6:23

intellectual property and there's

6:24

nothing to steal but at other companies

6:26

they might actually steal stuff they

6:28

could also try to hit U.S financial

6:30

markets by potentially causing

6:32

disruptions within the New York Stock

6:34

Exchange or the NASDAQ causing to a

6:36

freezing of the stock market I mean

6:38

imagine how crappy things would feel if

6:41

all of a sudden your stocks are tanking

6:42

you don't have water and electricity and

6:45

our China at the same time is trying to

6:48

invade uh or yeah China's trying to

6:51

invade Taiwan and we can't even get our

6:53

troops organized because we can't get

6:56

our ships loaded up because cranes all

6:58

of a sudden a sudden are shut down we

6:59

can't get anything moving because oopsie

7:02

do sees we've created too many problems

7:04

uh and become too reliant on either

7:07

China's cranes or or allowed uh too much

7:11

of a buildup of weaknesses within our

7:14

cyber security this is scary because you

7:16

want to get life insurance in as little

7:18

as five minutes by going to metcaven.com

7:20

life which is of course a paid promotion

7:22

on the channel but let's listen to what

7:25

Donald Trump actually suggests when it

7:27

comes to uh our preparedness it

7:31

hopefully this is not just hyperbole

7:34

hopefully this is real and gives us a

7:37

little bit of cause for Comfort but

7:39

Tucker Carlson asked Donald Trump about

7:41

the Nordstrom Pipeline and who blew it

7:43

up Donald Trump talks a little bit about

7:45

our military capabilities which I'm

7:47

actually bringing up because I think

7:48

well this is exactly where we want to

7:50

talk a little bit about our military

7:51

capabilities listen in here to Donald

7:53

Trump on Tucker Carlson

7:55

so I won't answer the question only

7:57

because I don't want to get our country

7:59

any deeper than they already are but it

8:03

sort of all starts we have you know we

8:05

have the most incredible equipment I

8:07

rebuilt our whole military we have

8:10

things that are you can do anything

8:13

we're equipped to do anything but I

8:16

refuse to say it because

8:18

I want our country to be pristine

8:20

but okay that's actually a pretty useful

8:23

clip from Donald Trump here uh it gives

8:25

us maybe maybe some hope that maybe our

8:28

cyber warfare is stronger than we think

8:30

I mean consider the fact that we have

8:32

conducted joint exercises uh with Israel

8:35

to attack Iranian nuclear enrichment

8:38

plants we have blocked internet access

8:40

to Russia's troll Farms during elections

8:43

we've done everything we can to to

8:46

aggressively attack our enemies already

8:49

with our cyber warfare but how would we

8:51

fare against China we're not entirely

8:53

sure but we do know that we're losing

8:55

some of our strength certainly in the

8:57

Middle East I mean consider this in the

9:00

last three years ah three to four years

9:02

we have sent over two and a half billion

9:05

dollars of foreign aid to Egypt and what

9:09

is Egypt now doing well Egypt is now

9:12

apparently considering sending tens of

9:14

thousands of rockets to Russia

9:17

wait a minute we provide foreign aid to

9:19

Egypt to the tune of two and a half

9:21

billion dollars over the last four years

9:22

and now that's dropped to about 174 in

9:25

2022 maybe they're pissed we're not

9:27

sending them as much money anymore but

9:29

uh that's based on uh information from

9:31

foreign assistance.gov and this piece

9:32

from political here but it makes you

9:34

wonder could American dollars be used to

9:36

actually arm Russia what's happening

9:39

well it's a power vacuum that's being

9:41

created in the Middle East and people

9:42

are becoming more reliant on countries

9:44

like China because they can't trust the

9:46

United States as much anymore whether

9:48

that's because we're not giving them as

9:50

much money anymore or because of our

9:51

botched withdrawals from the Middle East

9:54

but now the question is what are the

9:56

odds of China actually doing this well

9:58

fortunately there's one thing we have on

10:00

our side and that's the fact that

10:01

China's economy isn't doing that great

10:03

right now China is pouring cash into the

10:06

financial system they're keeping rates

10:08

set at 2.75 percent they just offered

10:11

another medium-term lending facility to

10:13

Banks of 25 billion dollars they're

10:15

reducing reserve requirements they've

10:17

done this for five months in a row

10:18

basically China's trying to turn the

10:20

money printer on because their economy

10:22

is just not killing it like they thought

10:24

it would after the release of covet zero

10:26

so maybe a Saving Grace out of all of

10:29

this maybe just maybe is that China's

10:32

economy isn't doing as well as people

10:34

had hoped and maybe that would actually

10:37

keep us in a situation where hey maybe

10:40

just maybe China doesn't end up going to

10:43

war with Taiwan because they're focused

10:45

on their economy that does it for us

10:47

thank you so much going over the course

10:49

member livestream and we'll see in the

10:50

next one bye

10:53

foreign

10:56
