Jim Cramer on helping Taiwan 7 15 2021
This video is recorded from TV screen. All copy rights belongs to CNBC and Jim Cramer.
"The United States has a chance here, an opportunity that it cannot botch. It's a chance to show countries around the world who we really are, a country given to helping others, a country given to showing you the wonders of what our republic can do for people, in need around the world.
Specifically, it's a chance to show the people of Taiwan, faced with an outbreak of COVID and far too few vaccines, that we recognize the urgency they face and who will do what's right to help the 23 million people on this precious island, long a friend of the United States.
Now, I want to say at the outset that our policy of giving vaccines to other countries -- donating them -- is totally for humanitarian purposes. However, given the strategic nature of Taiwan, given that its people could be in the fight of their lives to stay independent of the Peoples Republic of China, we must be more aggressive in donating shots to Taiwan now.
Yes, we recently tripled the number of vaccines to Taiwan in June with a 2.5 million dose shipment.
But with only 6% of its 23 million people vaccinated, it's just not enough. We must do more. While millions in our country refuse to be vaccinated and with something like 80 million known spare vaccines owned by the federal government it is time to step up and be counted on to our ally. Geopolitical? Let's just say smart. I do not think all countries are created equal when it comes to getting vaccines form us. Here's why.
It is our understanding that the Chinese are currently blocking the purchase of vaccines by the Taiwanese. But we aren't talking about the Taiwanese buying them. We are talking about giving them away. As a state department official told Reuters, "We are donating these vaccines with the singular objective of saving lives."
Reuters reports a senior White House official saying, "we believe that these attempts by China to block purchases for political purposes are reprehensible."
I couldn't agree more and we can do something about it immediately.
Right now, I believe the single most strategic challenge facing our country is President Xi's desire to assimilate Taiwan to be what he thinks is its rightful place, a Hong Kong-like client state. In an incredibly important recent speech under-reported on by the U.S. press, President Xi said it is his first priority. Remember China has always regarded Taiwan as part of its country and has refused to recognize its independence.
We can't let Taiwan go the way of Hong Kong. If our government were to call Moderna (MRNA) and buy 40 million vaccines for the Taiwanese, or alternatively, give them some of the huge bought-and-paid for vaccines that will not be taken because of ideological or ignorant objections of our own people, it would go a long way to blunt Chinese aggrandizement.
Taiwan, a true democracy, is also a country with a vibrant business community that is dominated by Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) , perhaps the most important company in the world when it comes to our semiconductor output. It's making most of the chips for the internet of things and for industrial purposes, including automobiles. It has committed to a gigantic foundry in Arizona, perhaps the largest private sector initiative in this nation. Our semiconductor industry is toast without them.
I think that this country's special status must be noted by the White House. You can still be humanitarian with no strings attached and give Taiwan all it needs. The CEO of Taiwan Semi is negotiating on Taiwan's behalf to get needed vaccines. Here's how I would negotiate: "You can have all you want. We're fueling up the FedEx (FDX) planes right now."
How foolish is it to have to throw out vaccines that don't last because people are too stupid to take them here when they are desperate for them there? Can we really be so neutral in who gets vaccines that we cut off our noses to spite our faces.
Go to Moderna, Mr. President. Ask them how many more vaccines they can make that the U.S. can buy and give to Taiwan. And then take away the vaccines they don't want in the states where no one is taking them. That should be enough to do the job and keep this most important ally in our sphere of influence just when its independence is most threatened."

Dave Roberts' foot make Boston Red Sox lead World series in 2004.
20 years later. No one will ever understand what it was like being in New England during these playoffs. Simply the greatest fan experience anyone, anywhere has ever had. “The greatest comeback in sports history.”
Still get chills.
I'm a KC/Atlanta fan and once the Braves got knocked out by Houston in the NLDS in 04, I pulled for the Red Sox the rest of the way, and was very happy to see them beat the Yankees on their way to the WS against St. Louis, then beat the Cardinals to win the 2004 WS. Too bad Ted (Williams) could have lived a couple more years longer to see them win it.
I've always loved the foreshadowing at 1:15; you can tell that when the count went to 3-1 Roberts was told he would be pinch-running if/when Millar got on base.
I already had a lifetime of disappointed at this point. I had no hope at all, I mean it is the Yankees after all. 3 games down " no way absolutely impossible." I didn't even start watching till extra innings in the first 3 of the four. It was electrifying but held out real hope not wanting to get crushed. 7th game was the game I watched in its entirety and finally real believed. And really that was the world series for us. The actual world series was a formality and footnote. This was the greatest 4 games in baseball.
Happy 19th Steal-a-versary to all who celebrate!
Until Tom Brady…..
Dave Roberts will never have to buy a beer in Boston again
#31..Dave Roberts...whenever you come back to visit Beantown..ALL food and drinks are on the house!!....and anything else !!thank you Dave,you saved our season!!🙏enjoy!!👍
Dave Robert’s knew.. he knew
Tigers fan since 69. Was raised right the only team to hate is the Yankees!! Thanks Grandpa!!!!! Yankees fans never want to play my Tigers in playoffs we own your sorry ass!
This is the greatest thing that ever happened, ever. And they won the world series on my birthday. It's the greatest thing that ever happened ever. I have a signed and numbered panoramic photograph of Dave Roberts sliding under Derek Jeter. It's the greatest thing that ever happened in the world ever.
Dave Robert’s could frickin fly
The DODGERS, & LA, have undoubtedly BLESSED, the shiet out of Boston and the Sox. We gave you Dave Roberts & Alex Cora !!! You lucky ungrateful bastards!!.. Not to mention, we gave you Paul Pierce. Don't forget, THE TUCK RULE. We gave you the RAIDERS. Without LA there's no DYNASTY. No 6 Ring BRADY. No Greatest comeback of all-time.

EVERYONE WATCHING THIS VIDEO, I CANNOT BELIEVE THE CELTICS ARE ABOUT TO DO THE SAME THING THEY DID IN 2004 IN 2023.
Its funny to hear them reference little used bench players... still absolute legends 2 decades later, like every other person on that roster E: yes i am obviously from Boston
Mientkiewicz was often used as a late inning defensive replacement at 1B. He was a career .271 hitter and won a Gold Glove with the Twins in 2001.
And this was all done beating the New York Yankees that’s what made it so sweet😊
The Sox picked up Roberts in a mid-season trade, sending the beloved Nomar to the Dodgers. Coincidentally, I got to see Nomar, who was injured to star the season in his first game back in '04 in June v. the Padres. A wild season!
“Don’t let us win tonight” I’m covered in goosebumps
Celtics…
Loved Roberts at PinchRunner, sucks at Coaching the Dodgers tho 😂😅
One of my favorite parts of that national braodast was the image of the digital clock showing the last minute of the last day of that damnable curse (11:59 PM) and the beginning of a new day for Red Sox Nation (12:00 AM). Goosebumps.
Who ever was the editor... at minute 1:14.... damn.... how incredibly brilliant... to cut to Dave Roberts!
They three to 0. I don't know why, really thought the Red Sox would win, the series.
It wasn’t the steal that won it was mueller hit
Greatest sports moment of my life so far
I loved the 2004 Idiots. I wish my father could have seen this. He was 10 years to late to see the Red Sox Team he would have loved. Hope the bar up there had network TV.
Millar worked the best closer in baseball. He doesn't walk there's no steal. But Roberts steal.....this doesn't happen ...there is no game 5.
My wife left me right before this. When the red sox won the world series, I didn't feel so bad anymore. I got to see my mom happy again.
What a night !
I was there, sitting way up in the bleachers, practically under the old scoreboard. From my very distant angle, I thought Roberts was definitely out. I had to see the slo-mo replays later to know for sure he was safe. One of my great disappointments in life was that once the Sox tied it in the 9th, I had to leave. I had taken the public bus to the game, and the buses in Boston stop running by about 12:30 AM. I made it home just in time to see the Sox win in the 12th. I still have the ticket.
Imagine if this was called an out. Not an easy call by any means. And of all people, Joe West was the one who did it.
Jim Joyce was also on this crew for this series. He was the one who initially ruled that Belhorn's HR was still in play in Game 6. But like the good umpire he was, he conferred with the rest of the crew and overturned his call. West's biggest problem was his oversized ego in subsequent years. He wasn't an incompetent hack like Angel Hernandez, but he had a tendency to let things with players get personal. He'd ring you up on a borderline pitch because he didn't like you. And laugh while doing it.
Fun fact this is Dave Roberts' excuse every time the Dodgers get eliminated in the playoffs
18 years ago tonight we witnessed the start of something historic. Giants fell, legends were made, and Dave Roberts never had to pay for a drink in Boston again.
18 years ago tonight...
Came here to say that myself, lol.
If I have said it once I have said it a thousand times, and I will continue saying it. This never gets old.
Millar working the walk and Mueller with the rip up the middle! All love to Dave Roberts, but those 2 don't get nearly enough credit! ( It's 0330 on 9/9/22, I've seen this play a Thousand times, and here I am tearing up and cheering them on! ).
I am sure he gets plenty. The steal was arguably the bigger play, but every Red Sox fan and their mother knows there is no steal without Millar getting that walk.
Joe finally getting it- “will the Red Sox try and steal a base”…
Look at how young Tito was
Can I double like this video??
That look in mariono’s eyes when he stole that base, he knew it was over🤣
Greatest playoff run in mlb history
Goosebumps every time
Dave Roberts.......... Not comment.
History
I never get tired of watching this
Maybe the greatest single play in the history of sports.
Haha...I never get tired of watching this!!!!!
Unforgettable comeback in baseball history...
