Sit down before you read this

By Mike Huckabee

August 8, 2022
|

I’m going to say something that will surprise you; shock you; it will likely result in an audible gasp from our audience here in the Huckabee theater!  Here it is:  I salute Nancy Pelosi!  Yes—I do.   For making a stop in Taiwan during what would have otherwise been a meaningless government junket for her and some Congressional cronies to fly around the world at taxpayer expense and pick up some bargains while pretending to be on an important trip to study world conditions.

Yep—catch your breath and realize that I am actually giving props to Pelosi; kudos to the Congresswoman; salute to the speaker!  Now, don’t get used to it.  I’ll be back to my sarcastic and snarly self soon, but it genuinely mattered that Pelosi didn’t back down and cancel her stop in Taiwan as a result of the blustering bullying of the Chinese communist party who threatened to shoot her plane down if she tried to land in Taipei.  Of course they didn’t shoot down her plane.

I’ve been to Taiwan more than a dozen times.  I love the country and its people.  I love their embrace of freedom and their commitment to an elected government and to the benefits of free enterprise.  Hey, I learned to use chopsticks there.  In my first trip when I was a mere Lt. Governor, I was treated to a wonderful luncheon with a group of political, government, and business leaders in Taiwan.  The only utensils before me were chopsticks.  And I was hungry.  Like being thrown into the water and forced to swim, my hungry self completely mastered the use of chopsticks in short order.  To this day, I wouldn’t think of eating Chinese food with a knife and fork! 

I was there most recently just before the pandemic shut the world down.  I’ve met with the last 4 of its Presidents.  It’s a vibrant, exciting little island where innovation and technology rule.  Frankly, I can’t wait to go back.  But my reasons for offering my rare praise for Pelosi tonight is because China has bullied the world into submission.  Major US corporations cower in their corner offices and say nothing about the human rights abuses of the communists in mainland China.  They love the money they are making from doing business with the Chinese communists and look the other way at child slave labor, the sick and twisted oppression of free speech so strict it would make Facebook and Twitter blush, and a brutal treatment of Christians.  And big celebrity athletes and entertainers like LeBron James smugly speak of how awful America is and fail to say a word about the millions they make in China by using slave labor to make their shoes and other junk.  Whether it’s Walmart or Disney or Woke-a-Cola, it really is all about the Benjamins.

While President Biden was sending mixed messages and all but urging Speaker Pelosi to not set foot in Taiwan, Pelosi understood that once it became public that she even MIGHT go, and the Chinese government started having the tantrums of a two-year old, she absolutely HAD to go for otherwise, it would make America look even weaker than Biden made us look in the exit from Afghanistan. 

So when I saw her plane touch down at the Taipei airport and saw the welcome she received from the good and freedom—loving citizens of Taiwan, I was for a moment very proud of her and of the United States for standing with a faithful friend and ally and not caving into the petty cash-driven demands of the bullies in the so-called People’s Republic of China. 

Now, I’m sure when Nancy gets home, she’ll be right back to tearing up Donald Trump speeches on TV, making incoherent speeches, promoting abortion, rallying her partisan pets to raise taxes, and keeping the likes of her pet Republican Liz Cheney on a short leash.  And I’ll be right back to calling her out for insider stock trading involving her husband, ignoring President Biden and his son Hunter’s unseemly connections to business with the Chinese communists, and her still pretending that the January 6 riots in DC were worse than 9-11. 

But for now, I raise my glass of iced tea, tip my hat, and offer a deep bow from the waist to Speaker Nancy Pelosi for being a brave American Eagle and not a frightened chicken in the face of threats from one of the most corrupt and evil empires on the face of the planet!

A bounce back?

The Dow dropped over 1,000 points on Monday, on top of big losses last week. As of this writing, the Dow is back up by about 480 points.

    Were you aware that her son has accompanied her on this and many other jaunts around the world. he is not usually listed on the manifests but if you look at pictures of her being greeted or at the various venues, you will spot him. He flies with her on the tax payer dime and does business just as Hunter Biden did. Look into it please. As for Nancy, just another Democrat smoke screen. Look, shiny! while the worse piece of legislation is being discussed.

    After reading your commentary on the speaker's trip to Taiwan, isn't there a possibility that this was some type of photo op. Mid-term elections are coming soon, and it just seems that something doesn't make sense with this visit.

  • T.L. McRae

    You may be right, but nothing Pelosi does is without benefit to her and her corrupt party, so I see something fishy in all of this. I may be wrong, but her past record does not instill a teaspoon of trust in her.

    I agree with you on fact that the people of Taiwan are generous and friendly! as I managed to spend time there. But I do believe Nancy was misquoted by the news! I believe she actually said She was going to "tie one on"

    I am wondering what the FBI is planting as much as what they took from Trumps home. They have now lost all independent credibility as an agency of the US. The hate that knows no bounds is in charge. Where are you Congress? They are coming for you next.

  • Brenda S Smith

    Governor, I am so disappointed in you saluting Nancy Pelosi. She is pure evil, and I would not trust her regardless of how good her intentions appear to be. She is a snake in the grass. My opinion is that Pelosi's trip to Taiwan was an agreement between China and Pelosi to make it look like she is not in league with them. Evidently, you did not read the book "Red Handed" by Peter Schweizer. You discussed his book on your show, and I bought it the very next day and read every word. Pelosi and her family are compromised with China. They are owned by China. Nothing Pelosi does is for the good of this country. Everything Pelosi does is for her personal enrichment.

    I watch your show every Saturday night and truly enjoy it. Most books you promote are purchased by me. However, I am not sure I will watch your show going forward. How could you be so fooled by her?

    Again, I am very disappointed in your acceptance of Pelosi's theatrical visit to Taiwan. It was all a sham! And you fell for it!

    Do you not realize Pelosi went to Asia to take son Paulie to make connections just like Hunter did? She was digging to China all right…wait on it.

  • Mary Friedl

    08/09/2022 11:38 AM

    Hi Mike. I'm glad she didn't back down, but what was she really doing there? I heard her son went with her (on the taxpayer-owned private jet) and conducted business while there. Can you confirm this? She should be prosecuted for insider trading, in my opinion. Although I doubt that will ever happen.

  • Kenneth Block

    08/09/2022 11:35 AM

    Peloisi's Trip was just part of the always present policy flip flop before a major election. Biden is a puppet of China; Pelosi is not doing what the President will not; she is projecting for the entire Democrat Party that they are on board against China on all policy levels. Biden is not up for election - other Democrats are - and you have just endorsed her trip. Post-election they will go back their normal policy - making billions of dollars for democrat billionaires from China.

    Do to discount that China was in bed with her visit - pre-election and everything, threats from China included, were planned and choreographed.
