  Speaker 1: So there's say the union happened, and Joe Biden decided
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: that he didn't want to talk about that Chinese spy
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: balloon when it actually happened. Well, he realized now that
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: it's hurting him so bad with the American people that
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: he's got to deal with it. He's got to talk
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: about it. So he needed to do an interview. So
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: the President decided, all right, I'll do an interview and
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about how I have no regrets because this
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: man never regrets anything. I have no regrets. It's never
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: anything wrong. I've been in public service for fifty years.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I've never made a wrong choice, wrong decision, done anything wrong.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I've never never screwed up as the President the United
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: States of America. So the President decided to do this
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: interview to kind of clear the air on the Chinese
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: spy balloon, and we'll tell you that he doesn't have
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: any regrets at all. All right, I want to play
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: this audio for you, and I want you to listen
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to where he did this interview. He decided to do
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: this interview at a place that's going to get a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: lot of traction. A lot of Americans are going to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: see this, right, talking about this spy balloon. He decided
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: to maximize his visibility by going on Telemundo. If you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: want to talk about something you don't want anybody see it,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: do an interview at Telemundo, right, and then you can
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: move on from it. And then you can say, see
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I talked about it. Check a box, check another box,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and then check the third box. Being sure that a
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: lot of Americans don't even know this ever even happened.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you about the Chenese balloon. You know
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: everybody sure thing about this. Now that we know what
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: we know that the balloon had a tennis and communication system.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Do you regret not having insisted on bringing it down sooner? No?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I think it's the expert, the intelligence community, defense community,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: they've forgotten more about than you er. I know. I said,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I wanted to shut down as soon as possible, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: they were worried about the damage. You can be done.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Even in a big state like Montana. This thing was gigantic.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: What happened if it came down to hit the school
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in the rural area, what happened it came down? So
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I told him as soon as they could shoot it down,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: shoot it down. They made a wide decision. They shot
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it down over water and recovering most of the parts,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and they're good. And it wasn't he a major breach
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: security bridge for the United States. Just the fact that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the balloon came into the airspace through over the country
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: for so many days. Oh look, the total amount of
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: intelligence gathering is going on by every country around the
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: world is overwhelming. And the idea that a balloon could
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: traverse break American airspace is anyway, it's not a major breach.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's totally it's a violation international law.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It's our airspace and once it comes in our space,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we can do what we want with it. This president
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: just said that the reason why he didn't shoot down
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: on the balloons because it could it was the thing
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: was massive and it could have landed on a school.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I know, we have a lot of schools in this country.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We do, okay, But the idea that there's a lot
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of schools in Alaska and you couldn't find a window
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: between one Alaska school to another Alaska school. Enough you've
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: ever been to Alaska, you know how laughable that excuses.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: It's it's just it's stupid. And then and then let's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: just say there was too many schools in Alaska. You
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: had a better chance of killing a bear in Alaska
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: with this thing coming down than it hitting a school.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Then let's go to Montana. Okay, if you've ever been
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to Montana, driven around Montana like rule Montana Gone Hunting,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you know that in Montana this idea, that this logic
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that was just used is also totally ridiculous and absurd.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: There are not a ton of schools in Montana, right
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that that you've got to worry about it. And this
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: is again the President United States America also tell you, well,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I didn't shoot it down because I didn't want to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: hit the school and a bunch of kids could have
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: died if it hit the school. Not even not even
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the intelligence community was claiming that's why you don't shoot
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: it down. Pentagon's not claiming that. He's just making this
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: crap up as he goes that's what he's doing. He's
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: just making it up. And then he's like, it's not
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a big deal. People are people are gathering intelligence, right, People,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: people are gathering intelligence all over the place and all
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: over the world. So we don't really care about a balloon, right,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, who really cares about a balloon. A balloon's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: not a big deal, all right. If it wasn't worth it,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: why would China do it? If China could gather what
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: he's claiming they could gather from satellite imagery, which has
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: also been what this administration is said over and over again.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It's all about satellites, all about satellites, all about satellite imagery.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: We don't really care. If that is the case, then
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: why the hell would they send a balloon? Right? Waitit wait,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: What's what's the point of selling a balloon just out
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: of curiosity? What's the point of sailing that balloon all
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the way across the world, flying it here and then
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: having it take pictures if it's not giving you anything
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you can't get from your satellite. Anybody want to talk
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: about that? This balloon clearly had a mission. It was
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a mission to find out and get something that they wanted,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: and it was worth flying over here. And it's suddenly
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: they couldn't get from a satellite. And he knows that,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: and he's lying to you and saying, I have no
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: regrets over this, right, I have no regrets. And to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: do the interview and not mention to say the union
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: doing it on Thursday, President Joe Biden saying, I don't
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: have any regrets. You know, I couldn't bring down this
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Chinese by balloon because it might have school that is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that's just a flat out lie. Even the light that
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the news had equipped was equipped with intennas. He said
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: that the military made a wise decision to shoot it
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: down over the water. It just wasn't wise to shoot
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: it down over land. Even Telemundo thought this was an
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: important question to ask, and Biden saying the way he did.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I think that the experts, the intelligence community, defense community,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: they've forgotten more about it than you or I know.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I do believe that. I believe he doesn't know anything
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: about it. I completely believe that. But this is one
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: of those moments where the President of the United States
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: of America, I believe, is compromised by China. I think
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: that's why he didn't shoot this thing down. I think
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: he understood that China would be really angry if he
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: shot it down before it passed across our country. And
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I think he's compromised. I think I think the files
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: on the laptop from how prove that the amount of
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: money that comes into the Biden bank account directly from
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party. And the fact that we just
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: sent a company that Hunter Biden and the Big Guy
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: are invested in, who still have invested Entrance and it
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: based on their financial documents I'm referring to the company
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: sending them our strategic oil reserves, tells you how much
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: China owns us. Right now, this commander in chief cannot
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: send up to Russia, cannot send up to China. Hell,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: he can't even stand up to the Taliban. And if
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you want to know when all this happened, when all
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: these countries realize that they could pull this type of
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: stuff up and off, that they could pull it off
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: and it would work, it was when they saw what
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: we did when we ran from Afghanistan, when we started
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: taking orders from the Taliban, when they were able to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: start killing our soldiers at that airport, those soldiers at
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: the present never talks about and never brings up. When
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: that started happening and that became a real thing, That's
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: when we started having real problems. The world realized in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that moment they could do whatever they want to do
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to America and the presidence in there, like, oh, there's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: no there's no national security issue here. This isn't a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: this is not a major breach. What is the definition
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of a major breach? Then to the president, right, this
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: isn't a major breach, says who. It's a major encourasion
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to the US airspace. It's a satellite that was flying
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: with coordinates over our most important military sites. And you're
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: telling me that you want me to believe, because you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: screwed up or maybe you allowed it to happen on purpose,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: that this doesn't put our national security at risk, right pages,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: And it's not a big deal, right, Okay, So they
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: violated our airspace. Big whoop. That's that's that's what they
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: keep trying to imply. Who really cares. It's just a balloon.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: It just was And they actually, oh, it wasn't that important.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It wasn't that important. This Chinese spy balloon wasn't that important, really,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: because it seems pretty damn important to me. In fact,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: it was so important that we took our best fighter
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: jets and shot a missile at it to knock it
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: out of the sky. Seems pretty important. After it accomplished
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: its mission of spying on the United States of America,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that's important. And for the President to sit there saying
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it wasn't a breach. It's not a security breach. It's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: not a major security breach. Okay, then what would be
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a major security breach? Chuck Schumer said, China sent that
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: surveillance balloon over and the Biden administration was calm and calculated.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: He wants you to believe that they actually did this
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: the right way and effective, he put it again, protecting
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: this administration and its incompetency. Just take a listen to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer in his own words, praising the President of
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, saying China having a successful mission,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: having a spy balloon fire over the entire country, every
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: area that they wanted to look at, and sending that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: data raw data, and also grabbing apparently our communications and
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: sending it back to China. He now says, was a calm, calculating,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: effective administration at shooting it down. Have the same agenda, Okay.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: So Republicans are stuck, they can't govern, they can't agree
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: on anything. Instead, they're focused on political theater. They don't
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: do anything. They're not trying to do anything real, and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: we hope they won't continue to do this on something
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: as important as the surveillance balloon China. China sent that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: surveillance balloon over the Dibiden administration was calm, calculated, and effective.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: According to they listened to the military experts, they listened
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to the intelligence experts, and they did the right thing.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: But Republicans, even before they saw and knew what was happening,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: started some of them not at all land basing the president.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Those criticisms were at desk premature and in all probability
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: highly political. This is one area where we don't need politics.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: So we need Democrats and Republicans to come together. We
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: need the country to come together to condemn China for
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: what it did, and we need to condemn China for
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: what it did, but we also did it the right way.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: That's the democrat's response. Now, and when you've got a
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: president who's in office and they says, hey, do you
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: regret the way that you handle us now? Of course not. Man,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Come on man, right, this is a classic come on
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: man moment for Joe Biden. Right, this thing didn't do
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a major incursion. It was in a major breach.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: It was just like you know, balloon flying over our country,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: over our major installations, gathering intelligence. We also know that
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: this spy balloon, from what we understand based on what
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: we found of the spy balloon after we shot it down,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: was actually able to intercept our communications that could be
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: in from our military basis. But he wants you to
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: believe this isn't a major breach. Now that we know
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: what we know the balloon head on tennis and communication system,
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: do you regret not having insisted on bringing it down? Swoner?
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: But by the way, just think about this also take
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a step back this type if you're right, okay, the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: way that they want to claim that they're right on
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: this one, they did this perfectly, and that the Republicans
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: are partisan and we're hacks and we nailed this. Wouldn't
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you do this damn interview with an actual American journalist.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't you do this interview with someone at the Today's
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Show or you know, NBCCBS, ABC, Right, if you really
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: wanted to get out there and explain to people why
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: it was the perfect decision to wait this long to
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: shoot this thing down, and you believe in your heart
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: of hearts that you nail this thing perfectly from a
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: national security standpoint, then then wouldn't you do this, right,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you? Wouldn't you? You do this with an American
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: journalists instead of Telemundo exclusive, Because if you're trying to
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: do the interview to check the box to say you've
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: done the interview and you don't want people to hear
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: it and see it again, you would go to Telemundo.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: But if you're right, you would want everybody to know
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: it on American TV, not on Telemundo. No. I think
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it's an expert. The intelligence community, in defense community, they've
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: forgotten more about it than you or I know. I
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: said I wanted to shot down as soon as possible,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and they were worried about the damage. You can be done.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Even in a big state like Montana. This thing was gigantic.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: What happened if it came down to hit the school
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: in the rural area, what happened it came down? So
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I told them as soon as they could shoot it down,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: shoot it down. They made a wide decision. They shot
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: it down over water and recovering most of the parts.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And they're good and it wasn't he a major breach
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: security bridge for the United States. Just the fact that
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the balloon came into the airspace through over the country
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: for so many paces. Look, the total amount of intelligence
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: gatherings going on by every country around the world is overwhelming,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: and the idea that a balloon could traverse break American
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: airspace is anyway, it's not a measure breach. I mean, look,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: it's totally it's a violation in the national law. It's
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: our airspace and once it comes in our space, we
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: will so we let it fly over the entire United
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: States of America gather intelligence. And what goes back to
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: the intelligence aspect of this is that it could gather
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: our communications. You notice they haven't mentioned that. You notice,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: by the way, Telemundo didn't ask that question either, Like, hey,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: we now learned that this balloon was incredibly advanced in
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: its technology and gathering, and apparently it could be listening
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: or figuring out our communications from these bases and how
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: we communicate, so they could spy and and and maybe
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: even steal our communications. Like that is what should have
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: been said here. That would be a honest okay that
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that would be a very honest assessment of this. So
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: why was that not said? Why was that not talked about?
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Because they don't want you to know part of the
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: story they don't want you to know what we have
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: found out about this spy plane. There is an investigative journalist,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Natalie Winners, who delivered an update in the Chinese spy balloon,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what she had to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: say to Steve Bannon. So everything that the CCP does,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I can guarantee you is not just checked off, but
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: really encouraged and okade from the highest levels of the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party all the way up to shijun Ping.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: And it shouldn't be lost on anyone. The timing of
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: this balloon. I think it's certainly curious that you have
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the House investigations into Hunter Biden and his ties to
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party starting, And I think in some
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: ways this is the CCP's way not just of humiliating
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the United States, having us know that we are indeed
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: beholden to the Chinese Communist Party, but particularly singling out
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden and the Biden family. Because if you can't
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: shoot down a CCP spy balloon that has explosives in
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: it as it's over the mountains of Montana, how in
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: the heck are you ever going to actually take down
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: the CCP or actually thaw relations. The only thawing that's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: occurring is because the CCP wants to get that narrative
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: out there. They want the Biden regime to really be
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: it soft on China, so it definitely goes all the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: way to the top. They're playing chess. We're playing checkers
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: with a senile man that whispers in his response to
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: tough questions about China and a guy that doesn't even
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: have the koone's to mention the spy balloon or to
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: stand up to China in primetime at the stay of
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: the Union when this happened. Why would you not stand
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: up to China? Why would you not at the stay
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of the Union tell them you better not do this again,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: and if you do it again, we're gonna there will
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: be consequences. Why not talk about possible sanctions? Are diplomatic
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: relations changing? If you did this right? Why not mention that?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I think it's something that would be really smart to mention.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I think it's something very important to mention and that
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be controversial at all. It's very logical. There was
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: an opportunity here for our president apt to say the
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: union to stand up to China or at least show
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: the American people that were on it, and he didn't
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: because I believe he is compromised by China. I believe
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: he understands that he can't stand up to China. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: think that's part of it. I think he just understands
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: that I can't do this. I can't stand up to China.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: It's something I just can't do, something I'm incapable of doing.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: They own me, they own my family. We are compromised.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: They've got billions of dollars and loans that are coming in.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: My family still has financial interest there. I'm still the
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: big guy. So I'll do the interview on Telemundo and
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: I won't mention it the state of the Union and
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: that somehow will fix all this. Lord help us. If
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: this is who the Democrats decide to stick with for
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: another four years, and there's every indication they are, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the fact that there are Americans that are still supporting
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: him scares the hell out of me. One last thing
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: about this story that I want to bring up, and
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: that is how Democrats are really falling all over themselves
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: to act like what just happened with his spy balloon
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: was not a big deal. John tester was on State
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: of the Union or whatever that show is with Jake
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Tapper is I can't remember what his weekday show is
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: called the Lead. There we go, Thank you, producer, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: he was asked about this blue We're being told that
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the FBI is analyzing the first pieces of the shotdown
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: Chinese balloon and they had on of course, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: an expert to talk about this, and here's how the
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: expert put it, to downplay anything that this are like,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and implying that you know, China's like this third world
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: country that doesn't really have good equipment, that this is
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: just a balloon they got lucky that happened to fly
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: with perfect coordinates over top tier military sites. So now
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you've had the classified session. I know you can't tell
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: us classified information, but do you feel that there was
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: no military threat? I am much more comfortable with the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: explanation of what they collected as to being let me
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: put it this way, it doesn't put our national security
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: at risk. One of the Pentagon officials that you're hearing
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: said it could be days or weeks before all the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: debris is recovered, yes, from the ocean. When will the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: publican answers about what this balloon was specifically doing and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: what was collected, well, I don't know that. I don't
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: know the public will ever get the answers. That will
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: be up to the intelligence community. But I will say this,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of smart guys at work in our
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: military and our Until they're gonna collect it, they'll put
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: it back together, they're reverse engineer it, and they'll know
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: exactly what they were doing, but it's probably gonna take
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: some time. I mean, it's amazing these Democrats. Oh, it's
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: not a big deal. We're spending all this time and
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: money grabbing these parts, reverse engineering it, but really it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: not I feel very comfortable that they didn't get anything
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: out of this. When was the last time the Chinese
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Communist Party did anything like half halfway when it comes
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to gathering intelligence and spying. How they had a spy
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: that was willing to sleep with a congressman Eric Swalwell,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: not the best looking guy for years to gather intelligence,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: who's still in Congress, by the way, And they're like, God,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: it's not really a big deal here, right, They were
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: just a basic intelligence gathering and they didn't get anything good.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: That's the only way you can spend this folks, right,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean this, this is it. This is
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: the only way that you can spin it. There's no
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: other way to spend this. Chelsea Handler not giving back
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: spy bao into China. Usually when they release things, it's
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: for the world to enjoy. Like covid is how she
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: put it in her humorous right Comedy Central moment. Here
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: she says, blank you China. Even she understands this is
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: a bad look for America and that's Chelsea Handler for
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: goodness sakes. But hey, it's just a Chinese spy balloon.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: It's not that big of a deal. Nothing you need
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: to worry about. The way they talk about it, it's
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: almost like, just let them fly these damn things over
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: our country whenever they want. Just let them just fly
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it over America. It'll be totally fine. No issues here,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: no problems, just China doing what China does. Right, It's just,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: you know, China doing what China does. Glenn Yunkin talking
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: about I know how China is really trying to dominate
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the world. Here's what he had to say on Fox
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: News about it. It's the governor from Virginia. Well, my
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: biggest concern has been the fact that we have some
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: of the most sensitive national assets in Virginia. I mean,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: not notwithstanding the Pentagon, but we have the largest naval
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: base in the world, Quantico and while Apsilon where rockets
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: are launched all the time, and we cannot let the
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party by land adjacent to any of these
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: national securities installation. Why should they be buying land in
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Virginia at all, Well, they shouldn't be, but this is
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a heightened concern for me in Virginia, and we have
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: huge tracks of agricultural land and we're just not gonna
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: let them buy it. And this is just a moment
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: to recognize that there's clear, bright lines and we're not
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: going to cross them. And governors across the country are
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: standing up and saying, why in the world are we
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: facilitating this clear destination for China where they want to
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: dominate the world in America's expense. The governor there also
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: bringing up another point, and as a governor, he's right. Governor.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: By the way, I think Junkin's a rock star. I
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: think he's a guy that that brings a really unique
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: perspective to these issues and people should start listening to
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: him because I think it's I think. I think he's
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: a very valuable individual, and from a governor's perspective that
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: he just talked about the fact that we're allowing the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Chinese to come in and buy up land like crazy.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: We know that some of this land has been close
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: to our air force spaces or military bases. Are they
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: buying that land up for surveillance purposes? I don't think
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: it's for farming. Why are we allowing them to do this?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Why are we allowing them to buy up our resources?
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: He's saying we should be stopping it as a governor,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: and he's right, it's a national security issue. The Chinese
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: are not just buying up land for for no for
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: just you know, random reasons. Right. They're doing it with
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: a mission. They sent this balloon on a mission and
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: the mission successful. They're winning and we're losing, and then
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: our presence like, oh, it's not a big deal. The
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: intelligence guys they've forgotten more than we even know. That's
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: how good they are. The other thing that's shocking about
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: this story is how the media really reports on China.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: CNN of course, goes into big coverage right China reacts
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: to the US shooting down spy balloon. At least they
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: called his spy balloy, and I'll give him credit for that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: But they're acting like China is the good guy here
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: and they're sitting there with Jim Acosta. You may remember
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: that guy from when he was like obsessed with Donald
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Trump and putting out lies about Donald Trump for you know,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: four years about Russian collusion. He's the guy that pushed
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: all that at CNN. He was like the lead White
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: House reporter that got it all wrong. Never apologized the
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: American people, never said he was, you know, bamboozled. You
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: never apologize to Trump for pushing Russian collusion. He's now
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: anchoring over at CNN, and this is what they had
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: to say about this. From Hong Kong, Jim. It is
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: just after eight o'clock here in Hong Kong, and we
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: are receiving a reaction from Beijing. In a very strongly
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: worded statement. Among some of the key lines, let me
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: just read them to you. First, China expresses its strong
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: dissatisfaction and protest against the US's use of force to
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: attack civilian unmanned aircraft. It goes on to say, under
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: such circumstances, the US insists on using force, obviously overreacting
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and seriously violating international practice. It goes on to say,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: China will resolutely safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: relevant companies, while reserving the right to make further necessary reaction.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: The question you have to ask yourself is why the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: hell are we even screwing around with these people? Why
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: are we acting like China has all the leverage and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: acting like we have no leverage at all. How I
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: wish we would act as cavaliers we have against Russia
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and Ukraine when we would China. But China seems to
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: own us. And I'm not talking about US as a country,
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about US as a the White House, right,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they really seem to own here.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: China has already said it quote it reserves the right
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: to take further action and criticize the US for an
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: obvious overreaction serious violation of international international practice. In fact,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: a Foreign Ministry spokesman Malneeing provided no fresh details, repeating
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: China's insistency. Object towards a civilian balloon intended for meteorological research,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: had little ability to steer and entered over the US
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: by accidentally divulging from its course and then just happen
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: to stay on course over the most important parts of
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: America from an intel perspective like Montana, where our silos
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: are for our you know, missiles that can reach any
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: part of the world. Yeah, just happened to fly the
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: perfect course for nuclear intel. I gotta give him credit.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: They're sticking to their story. They are sticking to it.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Senator Steve Danes, Republican Montana, criticize Biden's handling of the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Chinese spy balloon that recently flew over the country, telling
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: Brightbart News, a circus clown knows how to better handle
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: a balloon than the White House. I can't disagree with
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: that statement either. A circus balloon knows how to A
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: circus clown knows how to handle a balloon better than this.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: President Danes consider the Chinese spy balloon and Biden's response
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: to it a complete embarrassment quote to the United States
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: of America. The senator warned that if Biden continues to
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: demonstrate weakness on the world stage, he will only embolden
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: our adversaries. And you gotta understand, when all this happened,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: the world realized they could do whatever the hell they
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: wanted to do as soon as they watched us pull
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: out of Afghanistan the way that we pulled out of Afghanistan,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: leaving people behind, leaving our assets behind, leaving our military
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: vehicles behind. When we started taking orders from the Taliban,
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: that's when they knew they had us. And it's very
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: clear that this present is either completely compromised by China
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: or completely incompetent. You pick all right. Lastly, please make
