China Pressures Taiwan with Warplanes

Fault Lines

On this episode of Fault Lines, host Jamarl Thomas talks about the instigating flights China is chartering through Taiwan’s territory, the all but dead Build Back Better plan from Joe Biden, and the efficacy of the breakthrough COVID antiviral pills from various American companies.
Guests:
Carl Zha - Host of The Silk and Steel podcast | China Conducts Pressure Flights Into Taiwan Airspace
Ted Rall - Ted Rall is a political cartoonist and syndicated columnist | Biden’s Build Back Better Takes a Back Seat
Dr. Gene Olinger - Professor and principal science advisor for MRI Global Inc. | COVID Antiviral Pills
In the first hour Carl Zha joined the show to talk about the warplane flights they are conducting in Taiwan’s airspace. Looking at the flight plans, it is clear these are not aggressive flights, but they are probing Taiwan.
In the second hour Fault Lines was joined by Ted Rall for a discussion on the last legs of Biden’s Build Back Better plan. Will congress even be able to pass a Social Welfare Bill with Sen. Manchin and Sen. Sinema holding out?
In the third hour Dr. Gene Olinger joined the conversation to talk about the effectiveness of a Covid-19 antiviral pill. Will the public finally accept this as a method of protecting against COVID, or will the people holding out from the vaccine refuse all medicines?
