1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: of you for being with us toll free. Our number 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: is eight hundred and nine POT one, Shawn if you 4 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. The more 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: I learn about this, this Chinese balloon operation, the more 6 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,600 Speaker 1: angry I am, and the more that I realize how 7 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:27,120 Speaker 1: absolutely completely unhinged Democrats liberals are, and how inept your 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: president is. And it's it's scary and it's frustrating all 9 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: at the same time. Here you know, first thing we learned, 10 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 1: as oh Chinese by balloon crashed into the Pacific off 11 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: the coast of Hawaii four months ago. Why did we 12 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: not hear about this? Why I'd like to know wid 13 00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,120 Speaker 1: An administration officials claim the Chinese surveillance balloons also briefly 14 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: transited the continental US at least three times during the 15 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: Trump administration. There's one problem with what they're saying, and 16 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: I'll give you all the details, not the least of 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: which John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, John Ratcliffe, O'Brien, espert Trump 18 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 1: himself say it's total bs. It's not true. They're full 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: of Adam Schiff. We'll get to that in a minute. 20 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 1: You know who was it that did this? I forgot 21 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: it was in the Washington Examiner Byron York I believe 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,560 Speaker 1: was the author author of this, and how much bigger 23 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: this story is than it seems. And he lays out 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons why, all of which I agree with. 25 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: And there's something that's going on where we are in 26 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: as a country, a state of denial as it relates 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: to a lot of national security issues, but not the 28 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: least of which is China. It is time for America 29 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: to adopt and get really, really mean and tough policy 30 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 1: on all things communist Chinese because we're not paying attention 31 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: to what's going on here. You know, we'll get through 32 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: the whole. You know, what we've now can follow where 33 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: this balloon first entered US airspace in Alaska, then down 34 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: to Idaho, and then across Montana over our ICBM launch sites, 35 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: and you know, then getting off the coast all the 36 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: way across the East Coast to North Carolina before they 37 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 1: finally shoot this thing out of the sky. Why didn't 38 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: they shoot it out of the sky when they saw 39 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: it an American over American territory in Alaska on day 40 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: one and tell us that they did it. You know, 41 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: this is not this is not an administration that understands 42 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: the nature of our number one geopolitical foe and threat, 43 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: and that is China, or number two geopolitical foe and threat, 44 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 1: which is Russia, and third would probably be Iran. And 45 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: the worst part of all of it is there is 46 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: now a new axis of evil that includes all three 47 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: of those countries and others as well that don't particularly 48 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: like the United States. But there are a lot of 49 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: questions here. Why didn't they do this from day one? 50 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: Why didn't they tell us? You know, the only reason 51 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: I think we really found out about it is because 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: over the skies of Montana, the clear blue skies that 53 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: people sought and that it exposed, It got exposed that way. 54 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: But yet we now know that our government knew about 55 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: it when it was flying over Alaska, and they failed 56 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: to do a single thing about it, you know, in 57 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: the aftermath now of the shoot shooting down of this 58 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: balloon off the coast of the Carolinas over the weekend, 59 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: you know, and then they're just telling you they were 60 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: they likely wasn't a spy mission, or they're saying, oh, 61 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: we have we have the ability to stop any spying 62 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: operations that they might have been involved in. How did 63 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: we know they don't have new technology that can bypass 64 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: whatever systems you think that you're going up against. That 65 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: You can't make that statement with any any degree of 66 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: certainty at all whatsoever? You know? Why what were they 67 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: spying on? We now find ourselves think about where we 68 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: are with the Communist China, and this is why it's 69 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: got to be get tough on the Communist Chinese time. 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: Look at what they're doing. Why are we allowing the 71 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Communist Chinese to buy up our farmland because they are, 72 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: you know, thousands and thousands of acres. Why are they 73 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: buying up thousands and thousands of acres of ranch land? 74 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: Why are they buying up thousands and thousands of acres 75 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: near our military installations in this country? And why would 76 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: we allow them to buy that land here? We certainly 77 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to buy it over there, because they 78 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: wouldn't allow us to do such a thing. One of 79 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: the first things that we're going to have a tough 80 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,880 Speaker 1: on China policy is take back all of the farmland, 81 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: all of the ranch land, and all land that is 82 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 1: owned by anybody that we can trace back to the 83 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: communist Chinese. And you know, the next important thing we've 84 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: got to do is, you know, Joe Biden has been 85 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: out there cheerleading this insane idea after depleting fifty percent 86 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: of our strategic petroleum reserves, which is supposed to be 87 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: there in case we have a national emergency. He depleted 88 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: half the reserves during the election because in his view, 89 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:15,039 Speaker 1: the definition of a national emergency was the likelihood that 90 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: Democrats would lose seats and the House and lose control 91 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives. That was their big fear then. 92 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: But he's still fighting to sell strategic petroleum reserves to China. 93 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: Why would he do that? You know, why has there 94 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: not been any repercussions from as it relates to our 95 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: relationship with China after what they did and what they 96 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: unleashed to the world with COVID nineteen over a million 97 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: dead Americans? Why have there been no consequences for that? 98 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: And then, of course, you know, you can't talk about 99 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: the Wuhan virology lab where coronavirus research takes place and 100 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 1: gain a function research takes place. Why haven't we gotten 101 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: an answer from the meanist Chinese. The most telling and 102 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: damning bit of evidence that we have on the Communist 103 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: Chinese with COVID is that, if you recall when this 104 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 1: first appeared in what December twenty nineteen, early twenty twenty, 105 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: there was a travel ban in place long before the 106 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: Trump travel ban, the xenophobic one, the racist one of 107 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and that travel ban was in place in China, 108 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: and that prevented people from Wuhan Province from traveling anywhere 109 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: else in China, and had prevented anybody from anywhere else 110 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: in China from traveling to Wuhan. However, they had no 111 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: problem if you were in the Wuhan Province for you 112 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: to travel to any other country on the face of 113 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: the earth. So they protected themselves and they exposed the 114 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: entire world to this deadly virus that I have no 115 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: doubt was created in the Wuhan barology lab, even though 116 00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 1: I think there are many people that lied about it 117 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,160 Speaker 1: and have covered it up about it. You know, the 118 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: Communist Chinese, they have been involved in bad and unfair 119 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: trade practices with this country. You know, unprecedented amounts of 120 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: intellectual property theft. You know, why are we not looking 121 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: at the fent and all that, all of which seems 122 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: to be coming from China to our southern border that 123 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 1: is killing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of Americans every 124 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: single week and holding them accountable for this, you know, 125 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: as why are we getting lectured by the communist Chinese 126 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: about our friendship, our alliance with Taiwan? And why do 127 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: we sit back silently and take these threats that all 128 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,679 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi can't fly into Taiwan or Kevin McCarthy's scheduled 129 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: to go there himself soon. Why would we care what 130 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: they think? And here's the big question, you know, at 131 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: some point we've got to ask, when will this country 132 00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: know the extent of the financial business dealings between the 133 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: Biden family, and that would include Joe himself and Hunter 134 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: and Jim brother Jim and any other family member. When 135 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: will we know of any pass deals, any current financial 136 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: benefit that they may be getting from a past deal, 137 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: or any ongoing future discussion about other deals with the 138 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: communist Chinese Because that would matter to me now anyway. 139 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: So you know, they're claiming we learned today over the 140 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: weekend that another one had another balloon had crashed off 141 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: the Hawaii coast about four months ago. But this story 142 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: is bigger and the more troubling question, and I think 143 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 1: Byron York did a good job raising these questions raised 144 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: by top Biden officials. They saw political cover by claiming 145 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: the spy balloon had overflown the US three times during 146 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,199 Speaker 1: the Trump administration and nobody did a single thing about it. 147 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: Then you have all these high ranking officials in the 148 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: Trump years, one after another, even people that don't like 149 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, like John Bolton out there along with Pompeo 150 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: and Ratcliffe, the President himself, O'Brien and Espert, all saying 151 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: it's total bs. And then we got more details thanks 152 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: to the Wall Street Journal. It turns out that this 153 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:18,719 Speaker 1: reported three incidents that they claim happened during the Trump years. 154 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: They apparently were much shorter in duration. And I listen 155 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: to this and they weren't detected at the time. Well, 156 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: why weren't they detected at the time? That that would 157 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: be a problem for our military that they need to answer. 158 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: And one officials said, much of the information on the 159 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: flights that was pieced together later. So it's not that 160 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: there's no moral equivalency here if nobody knew at the time, 161 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: if it even is true, and they didn't piece it 162 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: together till later, then you can't blame people that had 163 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: no knowledge of it at all whatsoever. But it should 164 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: be a wake up call to our military that maybe 165 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: we're missing Chinese spying balloons flying over our country, because 166 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: that would be a pretty strong vulnerability here. You know, 167 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: why didn't they when they spotted this balloon above in 168 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: Alaska on January twenty eighth, the balloon traveled over the state. 169 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: I think about this. I'll show you on a map 170 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: tonight on TV. Then Canada, then northern Idaho, and then 171 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 1: it went right over our intercontinental ballistic missile sites in 172 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: Montana before drifting eastward to the southeast coast. And the 173 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: administration they didn't just fail here, Mike Turner said as well, 174 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 1: they failed to prepare after this first happened during their 175 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: administration that they knew about. The President allowed this to 176 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: go across our most sensitive military sites. Nobody's paying a 177 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: lot of attention to the fact they're buying our farmland, 178 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: ranch land, and buying land near military installations. That would 179 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: be a really scary scenario if we continue to allow 180 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: that to happen. As a matter of fact, identify all 181 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: of that land sooner than later, and I would confiscate 182 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: that land, and anybody that owns that land that has 183 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: these connections to this hostile regime needs to be removed 184 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 1: from our country. Our number one concern would be, you know, 185 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: this is creating an undue risk to people in this 186 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: country anyway. China complaining bitterly about this, claiming the craft 187 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: was for civilian meteorological research and had blown off course. 188 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: Does anybody really believe that, because I don't you know? 189 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: It called the decision to bring down the balloon a 190 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: serious violation of international practice. No, you sending the balloon 191 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: into our airspace, that would be the violation of international practice. 192 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: Beijing reserves the right to make further responses if necessary. 193 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: So now that you're going to threaten us after you 194 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: send a spy balloon over our country, China's Defense ministry 195 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: is should a similar comment, calling the shootdown an obvious overreaction. 196 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: Now these breaches that are occurring, you know, then they 197 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: get into this whole issue of the Trump years. Now 198 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: they're admitting that nobody knew. Even the liberal media is 199 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,959 Speaker 1: admitting what we didn't find out till much later. Robert 200 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: O'Brien saying, I have no knowledge of any incursion Mike Pompeo, 201 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: same thing. You know, who else do we have their 202 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: Bolton saying the same thing, Trump saying the same thing, 203 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: O'Brien saying the same thing, Esper saying the same thing. 204 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: Who are you going to believe here? McMaster saying the 205 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:41,559 Speaker 1: same exact thing. You know. It's this is insane. And 206 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it shows more than anything else, 207 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: which should scare everybody. It shows America's weak. It shows 208 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: that we're vulnerable. How is it they get to fly 209 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: what was likely to be a sophisticating spy in operation 210 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: on our country and they detected it, and they did 211 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: nothing for days, and they weren't even the ones to 212 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: tell us it was It got exposed by people in 213 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: Montana's I guess the first time we all got wind 214 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 1: of all of this, the balloon just drifts, you know, 215 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: all across the United States. Then Biden comes out tries 216 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: to look to I ordered the balloon to be shot down. 217 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 1: Military officials argued that of me doing this would be 218 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,560 Speaker 1: dangerous for people on the ground. Are you telling me 219 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: we don't have the military equipment to blow that sucker 220 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 1: up into little bitsy bitsy pieces of dust? Because if 221 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: we don't have that technology, then we're in far worse 222 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: shape militarily than I ever thought we would be. Biden 223 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: administration defense officials telling us that it is nothing new, 224 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: that it's happened before. That's your answer for allowing it 225 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: to travel from Alaska to Idaho and all the way 226 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: across the country before you decide to do anything about it. 227 00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: And everybody is contradicting your big that it Trump? Did it? Trump? 228 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: Did you know all Democrats care about? Right now, Let's 229 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: talk about Stormy Daniel some more. Oh my gosh, let's 230 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: talk about Trump's taxes some more. How about we talk 231 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: about our national security and our national destiny and how 232 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: to deal with hostile regimes and actors. And by the way, 233 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: how much money did the Biden family make in business 234 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: dealings with China? I think every American deserves to know. 235 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: Why are all these governors banning TikTok? Because obviously the 236 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: people that are far more sophisticated in terms of knowledge 237 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: of spyware are all convinced. Seems to be pretty unanimous 238 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 1: in the belief that TikTok has become a spy apparatus 239 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: used by the communist Chinese. And yet it's you know, 240 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: it's widely used here in the United States. That's why 241 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: Christie Owen shoot became the first governor to ban it, 242 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: and so many other governors have followed. I think they 243 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: did the right thing. By the way, somebody writes me, Hannity, 244 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: Tellhouse Republicans to carry miniature spy balloons into Biden State 245 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: of the Union address tomorrow. I'm like, great, two and 246 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: twenty two miniature replicas of the Chinese spy balloon. It's funny, 247 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: but I don't know if that's the best idea. It's 248 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: too serious of an issue. Anyway. We'll get to all 249 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: of this. We have our experts coming up, and we'll 250 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: get to your calls.

We've got you covered. Stay in touch 254 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: with a Hannity faithful. Join the messageboard at Hannity dot com. 255 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: All right, twenty five nouns at the top of the hour. 256 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. Eight hundred and ninety 257 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 1: four one sean. If you want to be a part 258 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: of the program. Now it's obvious what the communist Chinese 259 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: are doing here is they are testing Joe Biden for what. 260 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: I don't really know. I think they'd probably like to 261 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: embarrass Joe Biden. But they've been testing us for some 262 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: time now. The only one that has the only president 263 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: in our lifetime that has really successfully stood up to 264 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: the communist Chinese has been Donald Trump. And that's when 265 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: he put tariffs on their goods. And you know, everyone 266 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: got so upset when he called it the Wuhan virus 267 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: or the Chinese virus. Okay, do we have to rename 268 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: German measles now? At this point? Is wokeness? Now? That 269 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 1: insane because that's where the virus originated from. That is 270 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: often the practice to call it by that name. So 271 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: we're allowing, you know, more bad trade deals with no 272 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: accountability for COVID, no accountability for all the fent and 273 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: all that's made in China that makes it to our 274 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: southern border. There's no accountability for intellectual property theft. They 275 00:16:55,280 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: can be belligerent, aggressive, harass us, lecture us, threatened, shoot 276 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: our planes down if we go to visit our ally 277 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: in Taiwan, and there are no consequences. And Joe's answer 278 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 1: is to take from the already depleted strategic petroleum reserves 279 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: and give more to China, and allowed the Chinese nationals 280 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: to be buying farmland, ranch land land near military installations, 281 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: spying visa vie TikTok. And you know, and we have 282 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 1: no idea, nobody has any idea at all whatsoever the 283 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: extent of the business dealings with the Biden family, extended 284 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: family and the communist Chinese. We just know that it's 285 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: extensive based on all of the published reports, of which 286 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 1: there are many, you know. One of the big question 287 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 1: here is why did they wait so long to order 288 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: the airspace with this spy balloon to be shot down? 289 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: Because obviously they were testing Biden. Why did he not 290 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: do this when it was in Alaska? Pretty remote areas 291 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: in Alaska, they could have found one and they could 292 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: have shot it down there because they they knew, but 293 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:10,120 Speaker 1: they didn't tell any of us this, you know. So 294 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: now Biden goes into his stated Union address political points 295 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: out China has deflated. I'm sure upun intended. Biden's stated 296 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: the Union swagger, I mean, even Mitch McConnell's blasting them publicly. Anyway, 297 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: we'll get back to the news in a second area. 298 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,760 Speaker 1: I want to remind you about something that you wouldn't 299 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: think could happen, but a candidates people can steal your home. 300 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: That's the hackers. What they do. They're targeting American homeowners 301 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: and what they do is they find your homes online 302 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 1: and they find your deeds online. The deed to your 303 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: house proves you own your home, and then they ford 304 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: your signature on a document and claim you sold them 305 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: your home. Then they borrow money against your home and 306 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: they often sell it to foreign investors. And you're not 307 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: going to find out until after you know, you get 308 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: a foreclosure notice or a lay payment notice. And the 309 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: thing you need to know about stealing your home title 310 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: is that a lot of homeowners insurance and common identity 311 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 1: theft programs do not protect you anyway.

So anyway, the political says this will 318 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: deflate Biden's state of the Union swagger. Biden's team is 319 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: using their medium mob allies to just bring Trump into this. 320 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: This is their full time obsession. I mean if I mean, 321 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 1: a guy writes a book that was working on one 322 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: of the Trump cases in New York and it's like 323 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: you would think it's the biggest news in the world, 324 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: and it's not. You know, the heart of what the 325 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: Manhattan DA is looking at is they're going back to 326 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: Stormy Daniel's payment. Good grief. These people cannot get over 327 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: their Trump arrangement syndrome. They're also developing any Republican who 328 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: might run for presidents syndrome Desantist derangement syndrome, any Republican. 329 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: That's what I keep telling people. It doesn't matter who runs. 330 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 1: In the end, they will turn any Republican presidential candidate 331 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: into the devil incarnate. That's what they always do. So anyway, 332 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: the US shooting down this balloon impacted and damage relations. 333 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: Now this is where it gets interesting to me. Why 334 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 1: do we care what the communist Chinese are saying and 335 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: lecturing us post this this event. Oh by the way, 336 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: before we get to that, Linda, I'm not sure if 337 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,719 Speaker 1: you saw this the art dealer that represents Hunter and 338 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: we call it portraits of crack addict. The art dealers 339 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: calling him one of the most consequential artists in this 340 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: century as he sells his paintings for up to five 341 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars, but they still refuse to say if 342 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 1: they will name the buyers to Congress, and maybe they'll 343 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 1: be holding contempt. I'm gonna tell you, I have a 344 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 1: sneaky feeling that there may be something interesting laced in 345 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: that paint. I'm just saying, if it's got a funny odor, 346 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: maybe there's a little added benefit. We don't know about him, 347 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: just saying, what would possibly what are your suspicions something well, 348 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: you know, something nefarious, something he likes to sniff here 349 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: and there, you know, could add for some nice sparkle 350 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:40,679 Speaker 1: in a painting. Why would they hide the names of 351 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: the people buying this, because that's what they do. They 352 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: hide everything and get away with it and get away 353 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: with it. It's so funny that he's called a consequential artist, 354 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: considering that he suffers no consequences. That's a good point, 355 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: all right. So let me give you China's reaction. They're 356 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: Foreign Ministry said they strongly dis prove and protest our 357 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: decision to shoot down their spy balloon, and that was 358 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: in US airspace for almost a week. Anyway, China strongly 359 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 1: disapproves of and protests against US attack on a civilian 360 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: unmanned airship by force, said the Foreign Ministry. The Chinese 361 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: side has said after verification, repeatedly informed the US side 362 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: of the civilian nature of the airship and conveyed that 363 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: its entry into the US was due to a force 364 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: mazure which is in many contracts. In other words, out 365 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: of their control, a weather event, blah blah blah, that 366 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: was totally completely unexpected, and the Chinese side has clearly 367 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: asked the US to properly handle the matter in a calm, professional, 368 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: restrained manner, and the Department of Defense noted that the 369 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: balloon does not present a military or physical threat to 370 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: the people on the ground. Well, if that's the case, 371 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: why didn't they shoot it down over Montana or Idaho 372 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 1: after they missed their opportunity to shoot it down in China. Now, 373 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: the public in China, we have public reaction on social media. 374 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: They're they're just mocking the US coverage of these surveillance balloon. 375 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: It's just an air balloon. Does America really have to 376 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: make a fuss about nothing? Of course they said anything other, 377 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that they would be ever seen or 378 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: heard from. Again, the Chinese have admitted there is a 379 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: second balloon, this one over Latin America, and they are saying, yes, 380 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: that is ours as well. How nice of them to 381 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: finally admit something. And at some point here there's got 382 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: to be some consequences for these actions. Anyway, Beijing protested 383 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: the move and with an official complaint US Embassy in 384 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: China the United States actions seriously have impacted and damage 385 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: both sides efforts and progress and stabilizing China US relations, etc. Etc. 386 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 1: Do we really care? Aren't these the people sell our 387 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: bringing all of that, producing all that fent and al 388 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: that's getting into our country? Yeah, that's the same country, 389 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: same exact one. Now. One thing, I don't know how 390 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: many of you know about electromagnetic polls. We've talked about 391 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: this at length on this program over the years, but 392 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: not anytime recently. And maybe this wasn't a balloon that 393 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: could perhaps be used for that. However, what if it 394 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 1: was a test to see if they can get deep 395 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: enough into American airspace? Where such an attack could take place. 396 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean that would debilitate you know, pretty much. God 397 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:46,119 Speaker 1: only knows how powerful it would be, all communications on 398 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: a level that we would basically be rendered impotent. And 399 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what protections our military is taken in 400 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: regards to such a possible threat. Anyway, the balloon did 401 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: force the closure of one airport in Billings, Montana. They 402 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: was shut down for about two hours. Two flights had 403 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: to be diverted, another flight delayed from taking off. I 404 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: guess it was the people of Montana, thankfully, that saw 405 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: this thing first and foremost. Now the question is what 406 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: are we going to do about it? What is America 407 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: going to do? What is their answer to all of this? 408 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,239 Speaker 1: What are they going to do? You know, as we 409 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: move forward and as a country in terms of the 410 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 1: threat that the Communist Chinese represented this country. You know, 411 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: there was a story in the Wall Street Journal that 412 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: the Communist Chinese are shipping their high tech military equipment 413 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: to Russia. But that final push against Ukraine, I've mentioned 414 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: the new axis of evil with China and Russia and Iran. 415 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,479 Speaker 1: That's very much real. China and Iran are helping Putin 416 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: in his conflict in Ukraine. You know, in the years 417 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: immediately following the nine to eleven attacks, all we heard 418 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: so many times was they were at war with us, 419 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,760 Speaker 1: we were in at war with them. Well, are all 420 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: three of these countries at war with us? I would 421 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: argue the answers, Yes they are. Does that mean we 422 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: are at war with them? No? But we need to 423 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: be preparing ourselves and protecting this country and more importantly, 424 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 1: protecting our airspace. China's providing technology that Moscow's military is 425 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 1: using and needing to prosecute their war against Ukraine despite 426 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: international you know, sanctions and export controls, but they're not 427 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: abiding by any or all of those. By the way, 428 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: Matt Gates called on Biden to blow up TikTok. It's 429 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: pretty in a sense, he's right. I mean, I've got 430 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 1: to believe that all these governors are pretty smart, and 431 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: have there not been intelligence to back this up? I 432 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: don't think they'd be talking about TikTok. I don't think 433 00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: most people care about TikTok. CIA Director. While Biden's administration 434 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: granted China and Inspy Balloon's unfettered access to American airspace, 435 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: the CIA is warning that Beijing is planning to invade 436 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: Taiwan in four years. I'm not so sure it's going 437 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: to be four years. It could be a lot sooner anyway. 438 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 1: The CIA Director William Burns revealed that President She has 439 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: instructed his country's army to be ready by twenty twenty 440 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: seven to conduct a successful invasion of Taiwan. He made 441 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: the remarks Thursday during an event in Georgetown, where he 442 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 1: also said he believes that she has been closely watching 443 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin's prolonged and costly invasion of Ukraine and on Taiwan. 444 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: I guess I would say our assessment at the CIA 445 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: is that I wouldn't underestimate President Chi's ambitions with the 446 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 1: regard to Taiwan. Well, it's been obvious what the territorial 447 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: ambitions are. They're stating it. They call it reunification, they 448 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: won't call it an invasion. Senator Rubio, I'm going to 449 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: play a lot of the sound from the weekend coming 450 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: up a little bit, But I thought he was the 451 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: most intelligent on air this weekend of anybody that I heard. Anyway, 452 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: he said that China's operations using the surveillance balloon should 453 00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: serve as a wake up call for this country. He's 454 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: absolutely right. There's only one method they're using to collect 455 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 1: intelligence on us. We've got to be aware of all 456 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: of this, and we've got to take action against all 457 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: of this and wake up. If these things are flying 458 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: over our airspace, then there's an opportunity to bring him down. 459 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: You got to bring him down. That's why nobody can. 460 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: You know, they can try to turn this into Trump 461 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,479 Speaker 1: Trump Trump all they want. This isn't about Donald Trump. 462 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: I don't think they would have done this if Donald 463 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: Trump were president. But there were three incidents, Hannity, we 464 00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: found out much much later, and it was only a 465 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: minor incursion, and it was a short period of time, 466 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: a short duration. Okay, I'm not buying any of that. 467 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: And if they didn't know at the time, why didn't 468 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: they know at the time. That would be the military's job. 469 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: A president is it's not his job to determine what 470 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: might be flying in American airspace. That would be the 471 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: job of our military. And if our military was deficient, 472 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: we need to identify the deficiency and fix the deficiency. 473 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: Not that hard to figure out. Speaking of Russia, by 474 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: the way, they are keeping up pressure as the Ukraine 475 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 1: anniversary of this invasion Nars, you know, but where do 476 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: we find ourselves. We find ourselves with a weak United 477 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 1: States president. And I said this at the time, and 478 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: I'll say it again now. Once Joe Biden said to 479 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: Poland that they couldn't provide the fighter jets that Zelinsky 480 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: needed to actually fully engage Putin and the invasion. At 481 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: that point in time, there really wasn't a lot of 482 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 1: hope moving forward that the US, I'm sorry, that the Ukraine, 483 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 1: with the help of NATO and the help of Western 484 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: European nations and the help of the United States, could 485 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: actually win the war. And we were right then and 486 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: we're right now because Joe Biden said just last week 487 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,959 Speaker 1: again that he's not supporting the use of fighter jets 488 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 1: in this conflict against Vladimir Putin. Now that either is 489 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: going to result in one or two things that means 490 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: Putin is going to win, or this will become another 491 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: long protracted conflict with you know, hundreds of billions of 492 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,320 Speaker 1: US dollars going over to Zelinsky and Ukraine to fight 493 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 1: to a stalemate. And the American taxpayer ought not have 494 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 1: to foot that bill. Now, if you want to provide 495 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: them and allow Europe to provide them the fighter jets 496 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: that they've been asking to provide. Then let them let 497 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,479 Speaker 1: them fight their own war at that point. But if 498 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: you're not going to fight to win, then don't spend 499 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: any of our money fighting a war that's a stalemate. 500 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 1: There's no point at that.
