1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Well, when you're as weak as the Biden administration, here's 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: what happens. You got to scramble to rewrite the China 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,639 Speaker 1: portion of the State of the Union because of the 4 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: spy balloon that you allowed to fly over the entire 5 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: United States of America. And then, and then, and only then, 6 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: after the mission was successful, did you decide to shoot 7 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: it down over the Atlantic. That's the reality of the situation. 8 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: If this was a test run, it was a hall 9 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: of fame test run. If this mission was based on 10 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: just success and failure of getting Intel, it was a 11 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: hall of fame run at getting Intel, because you allowed 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: it to stay up the entire time. Now, the Democrats 13 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 1: right now are trying to push two different narratives. So 14 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: you understand these narratives and what they're trying to accomplish. First, 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: they're trying to say, well, China has satellites, so calm down, 16 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: implying that anything they wanted to get from this balloon 17 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: they could get from satellites anyway. That is a lie. 18 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to explain that aspect of it in just 19 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: a little bit. The second lie is they want you 20 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: to believe that they knew where this balloon was the 21 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 1: entire time, and that they were taking countermeasures to basically 22 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: block it. That is also a lie, and I'll explain 23 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: why in a moment. But let's just talk about optics 24 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: from this. Let's talk about what weakness we just showed 25 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: shine us into a balloon and we find this thing 26 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: or hear about it not from our government but from 27 00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: people outside of their homes. Let me say that again. 28 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: We learned about this balloon not from our government, not 29 00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: from the DoD, not from the Pentagon, not from anyone 30 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: else where do we get this information from. We got 31 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: this information from people outside with cameras who spotted a 32 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: damn balloon. Should that concern all of us? The answer 33 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: is yes. The government didn't tell us the truth. We 34 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: had to bring it up to them, and then they 35 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: acted like it really wasn't that big of a deal. 36 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: They acted like this was everything was normal, It was okay, 37 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: it was something that was just totally not a big issue. 38 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: So let's fast forward to China get what they wanted. 39 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Center Tom Cotton, a man that served his country. This 40 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: is what he had to say after the US fighter 41 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: jets shot down the suspect of Chinese spy balloon after 42 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: it already accomplished its mission. What began as a spy 43 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: balloon has become a trial balloon testing President Biden's strength 44 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 1: and resolve, and unfortunately, the President failed that test, and 45 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: that's dangerous for the American people. The President was paralyzed 46 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: for an entire week by a balloon. We should have 47 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: shot this balloon down over the Aleutian Islands. We should 48 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: never have allowed it to transit the entire continental United States. 49 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: And I think there's a lot of open questions that 50 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: the administration needs to answer to Congress on behalf of 51 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: the American people that why they didn't. I think part 52 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: of it is the President's reluctance to take any action 53 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: that would be viewed as provocative or confrontational towards the 54 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: Chinese communists. I would say, what's provocative and confrontational is 55 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: sending a spike balloon all across America. But second, I 56 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: do believe the administration wanted to salvage the Secretary of 57 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: States trip on Friday night, and they got through Thursday afternoon. Thankfully, 58 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: civilians in Montana and the Billings Gazette identify this balloon 59 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: and blew the whistle on it. And finally the administration 60 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: fest up to the American people. It took another twelve 61 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: hours for the Secretary of State canceled what was already 62 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: an ill advised trip. So I think there's a lot 63 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: of answers for the administration to provide the American people. 64 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: I love the response from Center Cotton here. It's very measured. 65 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: He's not trying to score political points. He's just telling 66 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: you the truth about this. Mike Pompeo, he is a 67 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: man that knows a lot about this. Right in his 68 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: former job, Mike Pompeo said, China, in his words, now 69 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: understands that they can penetrate American airspace, and this president 70 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: will do nothing. Look, no weather balloon, more properly likely 71 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 1: a spy balloon that was truly a trial balloon to 72 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 1: figure out how the United States would respond. I'm glad 73 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: that they shot it down. It was probably handful of 74 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: days too late. They've probably got all the collection they 75 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: needed for those first few days, and now they understand 76 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: that they can penetrate US airspace. Hang out with a 77 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: balloon the size of a couple of buses for a 78 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: few days, and the Biden administration won't do a darn 79 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: thing about it. It's part of a bigger challenge. You 80 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: describe part of it their trade with Taiwan. It's the 81 00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: TikTok espionage conducted inside of our country every day. You'll remember, 82 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: during our administration, Trey I directed and the President ordered 83 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston, Texas, the 84 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: largest espionage operation ever inside the United States. So Chinese 85 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: spying on America, no surprise. Weakness of America just is 86 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: going to invite more aggression. Tray, all right. For those 87 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,239 Speaker 1: of us who were never the director of the CIA, 88 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: I think these are our questions, all right. So when 89 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: would the US have noticed this spy balloon? How would 90 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: it have been detected? You know, given the fact that 91 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: your own television and what you can say about it? 92 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: And why wait to shoot it down? I mean you 93 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: said a few days too late? What's the explanation for 94 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: waiting to do it? Boy? They've offered this idea of safety, 95 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: they didn't want to breed to fall. But of course, Tray, 96 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: if I understand the trajectory correctly came in over Alaska 97 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: where there would have been almost no risk of debris falling. 98 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: So I can't figure out why they waited. So long. 99 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: Maybe it's the case they didn't notice it coming across, 100 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: but it seems to me that we almost certainly would 101 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: have identified this nearly immediately. The size of this balloon. 102 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: This isn't something small coming across. It's not even a 103 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: fast mover making its way across. This is going slow, 104 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 1: and it is big, and I would have guessed that 105 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: as soon as it penetrated what's called the air defense 106 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: identification zone. It was only at sixty thousand feet, so 107 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: not far above where commercial airlines travel, we would have 108 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: picked it up. And I can't articulate a reason. Maybe 109 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: the bidenministration will explain. I can't articulate why they would 110 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: not have immediately taken down this threat where the Chinese 111 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: were trying to gain information, likely about our important defense 112 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: assets here at home. Former CI director telling the American 113 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: people exactly what I said at the beginning. Don't be stupid, 114 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: don't believe these lines that it wasn't a threat. Don't 115 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: be stupid and think for a moment if this wasn't 116 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: a test balloon to see what America would do in response, 117 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,839 Speaker 1: And what did America do? We said, do whatever the 118 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: hell you want, gather whatever intel you want whatever intel 119 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: you need. Why didn't they shoot it down when it 120 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: was actually collecting data, when it was doing the damage. 121 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: Because they didn't want to cancel their trip to go 122 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: meet with the Chinese Communist Party. They wanted Anthony Blincoln 123 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: to head on over there, and they wanted a Kumbaya 124 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: moment because remember this administration looking ahead to the presidential election. 125 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: They just want everything to seem like it's totally fine 126 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: and perfect. That's what they want. I wonder how much 127 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: the Chinese truly have compromised the Biden team. Let me 128 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: explain what I mean by that. How is it that 129 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: we'll go in and take on the Great Russia right 130 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: and send tanks and ammunition and everything that they asked for? 131 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: It was Zelinski, we'll literally help move us towards a 132 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: World War three, but we won't shoot down a Dan 133 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: balloon until it's already done its job in the United 134 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: States of America airspace from communist China. How is it 135 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: the China things they can get away with this. I 136 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: believe it's because they have dirt and they're compromised referring 137 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: to the president. Why do I believe this not because 138 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm some paranoid individual. But because of what we know 139 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: about the laptop from Hell, and you can't say it's 140 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: not a real laptop because they admitted last week that 141 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: it is Hunter Biden's laptop. Hunter Biden admitted it. They 142 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: got billions of dollars in loans from China. That's a fact. 143 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden made a million dollars just off of trying 144 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: to get one guy out of being charged and be 145 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: put in an American prison who was a top leveled 146 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 1: communist Chinese individual. That's a fact. We just sit oil 147 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: from our strategical reserves directly to CEFE Chinese communist company 148 00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: Okay Sefe when we desperately that oil in America. Why 149 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: would you do that? Why would you send it directly 150 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: to a company that owns you Because your son is 151 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: a shady, corrupt businessman and you guys have been getting 152 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: paid Number four China, this administration. Try to give them 153 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: our resources in our country with a liquid natural gas 154 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: coming out of a port in Louisiana, try to put 155 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: together a multi million, if not billion dollar deal. We 156 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: know all this from the emails. We know that the 157 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: top level of the Chinese government had infiltrated Hunter Biden. 158 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,439 Speaker 1: They owned him. So what do they have on this 159 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: Biden crime family? Where we're so strong with again Zolinski 160 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: against Russia. We're on the verge of a war war 161 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: three with them. They're talking about nuclear war in Russia, 162 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 1: and we're not flinching. Sending tanks, sending AMMO, sending intel, 163 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: sending drones, We're sending everything. Folks. How is it that 164 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: we're so strong in that scenario but we are so 165 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: weak when it comes to standing up to China. I 166 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: believe it's because they have us, They own us, they 167 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: have damning information on this Biden family. That's my opinion. 168 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to me otherwise. In fact, that's 169 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: the only thing at this point that actually makes sense 170 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: to me. This administration clearly cannot stand up to China 171 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: in any capacity. Marco Rubio, talking about this yesterday, had 172 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 1: this to say, on the fact that we've got China 173 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: doing this to us and this administration will do nothing 174 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: to stop it. Well, we won't know about that we 175 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: get into a secure setting this week in Washington, and 176 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: probably most of that is something we won't be able 177 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: to disclose in any great detail other than to say this, 178 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: and that is that you know they're going to try 179 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: to recover this. Apparently it's in shallow waters. We'll see 180 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: what they recover from it. But I don't think the 181 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: technology or the existence of these things is a great mystery. 182 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: I think what's embedded here is a clear message. It's 183 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: not a coincidence that this happens leading up to the 184 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: State of the Union address, leading up to B. Lincoln's 185 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: visit to China. The Chinese knew that this was going 186 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 1: to be spotted. They knew that we were going to 187 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: have to react to it. They flew it over military 188 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: installations and sensitive sites as right across the middle. I mean, 189 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: look at the flight path of this thing. It's a 190 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: diagonal shot right through the middle of the continental United States. 191 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: And the message embedded in this to the world is 192 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: we can fly a balloon over airspace of the United 193 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: States of America and they won't be able to do 194 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: anything about it to stop us. They calculated this carefully 195 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: with a message embedded in it, and I think that's 196 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 1: the part where they can't forget here. It's not just 197 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: the balloon, it's the message they're trying to send the 198 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: world that we can do whatever we want in America. 199 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: Can't stop us. We can do whatever we want in America. 200 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: Can't stop us. Exactly what I was just saying to you, 201 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 1: and that's exactly what Marco Rubio's saying. And if you 202 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,360 Speaker 1: think this satellite isn't important, then let's go to the 203 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: newest headline. This morning, Navy divers New York Times worked 204 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: to recover debris from the Chinese spy balloon. Navy divers 205 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,599 Speaker 1: are working to locate portions of the debris from the 206 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: Chinese spy balloon that a US fighter shut down six 207 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: miles off the coast of South Carolina. Defense officials said Sunday. 208 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: The recovery effort, which is expected to take days, began 209 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: long after not long after, excuse me, debris from the 210 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: balloon hit the water. Defense official said he had that 211 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 1: a Navy ship arrived on the scene soon after the 212 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: balloon was shut down, and that other Navy and Coastguard 213 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: ships which have been put on alert, were also sent 214 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: to the scene. Shooting down the balloon cap a remarkable 215 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: week of high stakes international drama. I I love the 216 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: New York Times, right, is it really high stakes international drama? 217 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: The only thing that made it high stakes is the 218 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: fact that we let them have everything they wanted in 219 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: fly the a successful mission over the units. It's America 220 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: when they knew that they could take down and they 221 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: should have taken down this balloon at any moment, but 222 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: they didn't do it. Why did they not do it? 223 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: Because I ask crew it, who cares right? Let them 224 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: do what they want to do. We can't really stand 225 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: up to them. And if you want to know who's 226 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: the most angry, by the way, about this balloon being 227 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: shut down, it's not our administration, it's not Biden's team, 228 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: it's actually the Chinese who are now warning us of war. 229 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: How dare you? That's the response from China. An indignant 230 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: China lashing out, by the way, again at the US 231 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: for shooting down their balloon. China used diplomatic channels to 232 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: accuse the US of indiscriminate use of force when the 233 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: American military shot down the Chinese spine balloon balloon they 234 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: say ours a weather balloon, saying the act had seriously 235 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: quote impacted and damaged both sides efforts and progress and 236 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 1: stabilizing the Cino US relations. Was the second time in 237 00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 1: just over forty eight hours that Beijing proclaimed it innocence 238 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: and denied any foul play was involved in the balloon 239 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 1: flying over the US entering US airspace before being shot down. 240 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: China repeated the assertion it was a harmless, non military 241 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: weather research airship. Vice Foreign Minister Feng said he lodged 242 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: a formal complaint with the US embassy hours earlier to 243 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: set out Beijing's distress over the US attack quote unquote 244 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: attack on a Chinese civilian unmanned airship by military force. However, 245 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: the United States turned to death Air and insisted on 246 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: the indiscriminate use of force against the civilian airship that 247 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: was about to leave the United States airspace, obviously overreacting 248 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,320 Speaker 1: and seriously violating the spirit of international law and international practice. 249 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: The official statement from the Chinese set China would quote 250 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: safeguard and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese companies. They 251 00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 1: said they're resolute in that they are resolute in safeguard 252 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: it is at China's interests in dignity, and reserve the 253 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: right quote reserve the right to make further necessary response. 254 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: In other words, we might do this again, or we 255 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: might shoot at something of yours, or we might harm 256 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: American interest. China had already said by the way, earlier 257 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 1: in the same verbiage, we reserve the right to take 258 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: further actions. So you fly a spy balloon over America, 259 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: we don't shoot it down till after it's a successful mission. 260 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: And now China says we reserve the right to take 261 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: further actions and criticize the US for an obvious quote 262 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: overreaction and a serious violation of international practice. And they're 263 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: the ones they're spying on us. And this is the 264 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: gotta I gotta say. I'm a little jealous of a 265 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: government that at least defends themselves the way that the 266 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: China Chinese do. They're like all in here, folks. They're 267 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: not playing, they're all in and we're the one that's 268 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: been wrong and they're the ones attacking us. The other 269 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: thing that's shocking about the story is how the media 270 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: really reports on China. CNN of course, goes into big coverage, 271 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: right China reacts to the US shooting down spy balloon. 272 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 1: At least they called a spy balloy, and I'll give 273 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: him credit for that, But they're acting like China is 274 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: the good guy here and they're sitting there with Jim Acosta. 275 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: You may remember that guy from when he was like 276 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 1: obsessed with Donald Trump and putting out lies about Donald 277 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: Trump for you know, four years about Russia collusion. He's 278 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: the guy that pushed all that at CNN. He was 279 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: like the lead White House reporter that got it all wrong. 280 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: Never apologized the American people, never said he was, you know, bamboozled. 281 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: You never apologize to Trump for pushing Russian collusion. He's 282 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: now anchoring over at CNN. And this is what they 283 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: had to say about this. From Hong Kong. Jim. It 284 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: is just after eight o'clock here in Hong Kong, and 285 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: we are receiving a reaction from Beijing. In a very 286 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: strongly worded statement. Among some of the key lines, let 287 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 1: me just read them to you. First, China expresses its 288 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 1: strong dissatisfaction and protest against the US's use of force 289 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 1: to attack civilian unmanned aircraft. It goes on to say, 290 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: under such circumstances, the US insists on using force, obviously 291 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: overreacting and seriously violating international practice. It goes on to 292 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: say China will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests 293 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: of relevant companies, while reserving the right to make further 294 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: necessary reaction, and the question you have to ask yourself 295 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 1: is why the hell are we even screwing around with 296 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: these people? Why are we acting like China has all 297 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: the leverage and acting like we have no leverage at all. 298 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 1: How I wish we would act as cavalier as we 299 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 1: have against Russia and Ukraine when we would with China. 300 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 1: But China seems to own us. And I'm not talking 301 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: about US as a country, I'm talking about US as 302 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: a the White House, right, I mean, that's what they 303 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: really seem to own here. China has already said it 304 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: quote it reserves the right to take further action and 305 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: criticize the US for an obvious overreaction, serious violation of 306 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:14,880 Speaker 1: international international practice. In fact, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mal 307 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: Kneeing provided no fresh details, repeating China's insistency object towards 308 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: a civilian balloon intended for meteorological research had little ability 309 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: to steer and entered over the US by accidentally divulging 310 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: from its course and then just happen to stay on 311 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: course over the most important parts of America from an 312 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 1: intel perspective, like Montana, where our silos are for our 313 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: you know, missiles that can reach any part of the world. Yeah, 314 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: it just happened to fly the perfect course for nuclear intel. 315 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: I gotta give them credit. They're sticking to their story. 316 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,120 Speaker 1: They are sticking to it. Senator Steve Dane's Republican Montana 317 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: criticized by handling of the Chinese spy balloon that recently 318 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 1: flew over the country, telling bright Bart News, a circus 319 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: clown knows how to better handle a balloon than the 320 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: White House. I can't disagree with that statement either. A 321 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 1: circus balloon knows how to A circus clown knows how 322 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: to handle a balloon better than this. President Danes consider 323 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: the Chinese spy balloon and Biden's response to it a 324 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: complete embarrassment quote to the United States of America, The 325 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: senator warned that if Biden continues to demonstrate weakness on 326 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: the world stage, he will only embolden our adversaries. And 327 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: you gotta understand, when all this happened, the world realized 328 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 1: they could do whatever the hell they wanted to do 329 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 1: as soon as they watched US pull out of Afghanistan. 330 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,959 Speaker 1: The way that we pulled out of Afghanistan, leaving people behind, 331 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 1: leaving our assets behind, leaving our military vehicles behind. When 332 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 1: we started taking orders in the Taliban, that's when they 333 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: knew they had us. It's when China knew they had us. 334 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: When we started taking orders from the Taliban and we 335 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 1: started allowing for them to tell us when we have 336 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: to leave, when we were the ones in charge, and 337 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: when we didn't go get our men and women in uniform, 338 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 1: that our men and women that helped our men and 339 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: women in uniform are assets there the way, and we 340 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: ran away scared at the end, just so he could 341 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: get an Never forget it was so he could get 342 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: a headline. I'm the one that got us out of 343 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: the longest war in American history and Afghanistan. I'm the 344 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: one that pulled us out. That was all for a headline. 345 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: Turned out to be a disaster. But when they looked 346 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: at American soldiers who were not given the power or 347 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: the authority from the White House to go sixty feet 348 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 1: to get people that desperately need to get on those planes, 349 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: he got that country much less sixty yards. This is 350 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 1: what happens. And when they watched the Taliban order us 351 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: around in those final days and the and the Taliban 352 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: was dictating to us in those final days, they said, 353 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: holy crap, guys, it's time to do whatever we wanted 354 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: to do over the last X number of decades. That's 355 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: what they said. That was the moment for them. That 356 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: was the checkmate for them, right, I mean, that was 357 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: that was the ball game, folks. That was when they said, yep, 358 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: we got this. Back to New York Times quote, the 359 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: shooting down of the balloon caped remarkable week of high 360 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 1: stakes international drama played out over the skies the continental 361 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: United States of America. While China's instid of the balloon 362 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: was not for surveillance but rather for weather, and it 363 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: just happened to drift off course right right over the 364 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: targets they would need intel on the Biden administration quote, 365 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: this is the New York Times. Spending US had stood 366 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: firm that the balloon's purpose was a somewhat hapless effort 367 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: by China to spy on US military installations. You really 368 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,920 Speaker 1: think that the Chinese halfway did it? Come on? President 369 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: Biden said that he had told Penagon officials to shoot 370 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: down the balloon. I'm not sure I believe that, and 371 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 1: that they said to me, let's wait until the safest 372 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: place to do it. I don't believe that either. The 373 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: Penninggon officials said they took steps without offering specifics, to 374 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 1: make sure the balloon did not yield much fruit much fruits, 375 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: So we're admitting it did damage as it hovered near 376 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,959 Speaker 1: the Air Force based in Montana and other installations. They 377 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: also said China could glean the same amount of intelligence 378 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: from a spy satellite. All right, well, if that's true, 379 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: then why did they send the damn balloon? That's the 380 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: line they keep going back to. And I said, this 381 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: is the very beginning of the show. If this was 382 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: a repetitive gathering of intel that the same type of 383 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: intel they could get from satellites, why would they waste 384 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 1: their time doing this? I don't believe them. I don't 385 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: believe that China waste their time on a spy balloon 386 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,719 Speaker 1: the way that they're describing it. I just don't. I 387 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: think you're full of crap. I don't believe anyone when 388 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: they say this. Now some of you may disagree, then 389 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: prove it to me. There was clearly a reason for this. 390 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 1: There was clearly an obvious reason for this was that 391 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: what was their reasoning it, obviously was they wanted something 392 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: different or more Now, there's also something else here that 393 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: I do think we need to bring up. They could 394 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: have just been testing to see how we would respond. 395 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: I don't know, Okay, I'm not sure. I really am 396 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: not sure which one it is there, but there was 397 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 1: something important that they wanted to gather. And to say, 398 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 1: it's the same, it's redundant information they're getting from spy satellites. 399 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: If you believe that you're an idiot, you can hear 400 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: how CNN played this. You can see from the writing 401 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: on the Washington New York Times how they're responding to this. 402 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,359 Speaker 1: May Or Pete, by the way, and then one of 403 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: the most disgusting comments of the week. They started out 404 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: explaining where all this spy balloon was seen, the spot 405 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: where the balloon was seen, and what it went over. 406 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: It went over an important air base here, then another, 407 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: you know, Whiteman Air Force Base and Scott Air Force 408 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: Base and Fort Bragg and Campell June. I mean, this 409 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: thing made a perfect north to southeast to west movement 410 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: to just hit all of these airport bases and then 411 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: go out into the sea. Right, brilliant move And what 412 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: does Mayor Pete say? He says, quote, well, at least 413 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: no one got hurt, and that's the good news because 414 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: we dound it outside of America on the coast where 415 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: no one would get hurt from a balloon. United States infrastructure. 416 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: There's moms from Air Force Base and nuclear ballistic missile 417 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: fields in Montana. If you look at the map, there 418 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,160 Speaker 1: Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, Scott Air Force Base 419 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 1: in Illinois, Fort Bragg, and Camp Lla June in North Carolina. 420 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: Is the assumption that the balloon was able to gather 421 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: sense of information and transmitted back to the Chinese government. Well, 422 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: the US has stated that steps were taken to prevent 423 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: any problems in terms of intelligence collection. Remember, we are 424 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,120 Speaker 1: talking about a country that has a space program. So 425 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: I don't know all the ins and outs of what 426 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 1: this balloon was doing or what its capabilities were. I 427 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 1: do know that when the president did you notice that, 428 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: I don't know. This is a trans state secretary. This 429 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: guy is in charge of the Friendly Skies. I don't 430 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: know what its capabilities were. I don't know what it 431 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: was gathering. That's different than what the White House has 432 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: been saying. How that's different from what the media is saying. 433 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what it was doing. I don't know 434 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: it's capabilities. I'm going to back that up. Okay, listen carefully. 435 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: I don't know how capable of this thing is, but 436 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 1: don't worry. It's fine about a country that has a 437 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: space program. So I don't know all the ins and 438 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: outs of what this balloon was doing or what its 439 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: capabilities were. I do know that when the President gave 440 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 1: the order to have this handled, the military gauge the 441 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: different risks and the different benefits of different approaches. May 442 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,160 Speaker 1: the decisions that they did brought this thing down without incident, right, 443 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: But the presumption has got to be that the Chinese 444 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: were able to gather intelligence hovering over the United States 445 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 1: for day after day, especially over some of these sensitive sites. 446 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure there's a similar presumption about what spy satellites do. 447 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: That is well outside of my lane. I'm just glad 448 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: that nobody was heard as this thing came down. When 449 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: did the Biden administration first learn about this balloon? This 450 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: spy balloon entering US airspace, so we're told it first 451 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: did so. It first entered to US airspace over Alaska 452 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: two saturdays ago. Is that when the Biden adminstration learned 453 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 1: about it? I really can't speak to that. What I 454 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: can speak to is the great cooperation we have between 455 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: the FAA and the Pentagon to make sure that when 456 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 1: you have a special military operation like what it took 457 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: to bring down this balloon, that it happens without any 458 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: threat to American lives or property. So everybody's safe. Who 459 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: cares what intel they got, because everybody's safe. That is 460 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: now the logic of this administration. I mean this when 461 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 1: I say this got to help us when you like 462 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: idiots to office with no qualifications, like Mayor Pete to 463 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: be the Transportation Secretary, with all the disasters that he's 464 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 1: had over the airlines, the disasters over shipping, the disasters 465 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,879 Speaker 1: over reports right now, all of the backlog issues that 466 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: we've had, supply chain issues we've had. When a guy, 467 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 1: when you give guys jobs to fill quotas, just like 468 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,640 Speaker 1: Mayor Pete was a quota that they were filling, right, 469 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,600 Speaker 1: this is what you get. And it's very clear that 470 00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: this present is either completely compromised by China or completely incompetent. 471 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: You pick.
