Biden YELLS 'give me a break' at MEDIA & stomps off when pushed on family’s China business! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Joe Biden decided to have a press conference weeks and
0:03
Speaker 1: weeks after the Chinese spy balloon that he's shot down,
0:06
Speaker 1: after it had successfully accomplished its mission of gathering intelligence
0:12
Speaker 1: on the United States of America and our most important
0:15
Speaker 1: military basis, he decided to have a press conference to
0:18
Speaker 1: let you know what's really going on. It didn't go
0:21
Speaker 1: very well. Why because Joe Biden had to admit that
0:24
Speaker 1: we actually probably recently just shot down a bunch of
0:29
Speaker 1: random crap, including some kids science projects, because we're trying
0:34
Speaker 1: to look like we're tough on China. But things got
0:37
Speaker 1: really interesting at the end of the press conference when
0:42
Speaker 1: one of the members of the media got to ask
0:44
Speaker 1: a very quick question listen carefully, trying to promise by
0:48
Speaker 1: a daily citizens relations, mister President, there is an you
1:01
Speaker 1: come off, and that's the question. When they have more
1:03
Speaker 1: polite people, you can come to my office and you
1:07
Speaker 1: can ask a question with some more polite people. What
1:10
Speaker 1: was not polite? They asked him if he was compromised
1:13
Speaker 1: by China and his Chinese business dealings because of his
1:17
Speaker 1: lack of response to China, and in this press conference,
1:21
Speaker 1: there was still no warning to China to stop sending
1:27
Speaker 1: these damned spy balloons into the United States of America,
1:30
Speaker 1: which is what obviously spurred on the question. Now, I'm
1:33
Speaker 1: gonna play for you in a moment more of this
1:35
Speaker 1: press conference. But but let's go back into this narrative
1:40
Speaker 1: that Biden telling the press give me a break. He
1:43
Speaker 1: then stumps off doesn't answer any other questions about the
1:46
Speaker 1: spy balloon. When pressed on his family's China business dealings,
1:51
Speaker 1: he was angry because he just did this big, this
1:54
Speaker 1: big press conference, and he said in this press conference said, well,
1:59
Speaker 1: we want to compete with China. We don't want them
2:01
Speaker 1: to be our adversary. Well, China has decided we clearly
2:04
Speaker 1: are their adversary. They've decided that we are a country
2:09
Speaker 1: they want to whoop up on. And Republicans say Biden
2:13
Speaker 1: can't properly confront China on issues ranging from fetnol and
2:19
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen origins to a surveillance balloo that traveled across
2:23
Speaker 1: the entire country because of his family's financial links to
2:28
Speaker 1: Chinese state entities. Now I say this, and I'll say
2:31
Speaker 1: it again, Please share all this intel that we're giving
2:34
Speaker 1: you today on this so you understand what's actually going
2:36
Speaker 1: on the media again is not going to cover any
2:38
Speaker 1: of this, So share this put up on social media,
2:40
Speaker 1: share a podcast quote. Is your ability to deal with
2:45
Speaker 1: China compromise by your famili's business relationships with China? President Biden?
2:52
Speaker 1: A reporter for the Post asked, following the seven minute
2:55
Speaker 1: address on the Chinese balloon and the subsequent shootdown of
2:58
Speaker 1: three yet to be a dinner find objects, which we
3:01
Speaker 1: now actually believe at least one of them was a
3:04
Speaker 1: school project. Is your ability to deal with trying to
3:09
Speaker 1: compromise by your family's business relationships? That is a fair question.
3:14
Speaker 1: At least four other reporters shouted questions of the president,
3:17
Speaker 1: who would not face the press and answer questions and
3:21
Speaker 1: hasn't done this for nearly six days. Biden chose to
3:25
Speaker 1: answer only the posts question by saying his classic line,
3:29
Speaker 1: give me a break man, with his dismissive laugh. If
3:32
Speaker 1: there's anything he's good at, it's that. Two American TV
3:36
Speaker 1: journalists and a reporter for Polish and Japanese outlets proceeded
3:40
Speaker 1: to pepper Biden with a lot of questions, with a
3:44
Speaker 1: post blatantly adding, does your son still co own a
3:48
Speaker 1: company with Chinese government entities. Why is that question relevant?
3:53
Speaker 1: It is because in the filings, the financial filings for CEFE,
3:57
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communists oil giant, you know, energy company, that
4:03
Speaker 1: it shows that still Hunter Biden has a financial interest
4:07
Speaker 1: in the company. That's based on their financial filings. Now,
4:11
Speaker 1: the White House has claimed that he has divested all
4:15
Speaker 1: of his foreign investments. The financial filings of CFE say
4:20
Speaker 1: that's a lie. All right, let me just take a
4:22
Speaker 1: quick pause here, and I do want to tell you
4:25
Speaker 1: about our friends that August of Precious Medals. If you've
4:27
Speaker 1: been saving for a long time for retirement, you know
4:31
Speaker 1: that you need to protect your money and one way
4:34
Speaker 1: to do that is with a gold ira. I'm excited
4:37
Speaker 1: about telling you about a company that I actually use.
4:40
Speaker 1: I have actually worked with a Gust of Precious Medals.
4:43
Speaker 1: They are different because they will even tell you if
4:46
Speaker 1: a gold ira isn't your answer, they give you just
4:50
Speaker 1: the facts. Now, a Gust of Precious Metal is all
4:53
Speaker 1: about protecting your ira and your four O one k.
4:56
Speaker 1: They're great people, a great conservative company. They're great people
5:02
Speaker 1: at a great conservative company. They understand right now that
5:06
Speaker 1: it's crazy with our economy and it's extremely important, especially
5:10
Speaker 1: if you're close to retirement, to protect your assets because
5:13
Speaker 1: there's no time to make up losses. So if you've
5:16
Speaker 1: saved one hundred thousand dollars or more, then you should
5:19
Speaker 1: take a look at their free guide and you should
5:22
Speaker 1: really sign up for something that I've done. It's a
5:24
Speaker 1: web conference where you talk to a top individual about
5:29
Speaker 1: gold iras and you're four oh one k. Check them
5:33
Speaker 1: out and get the peace of mind that you're protecting
5:35
Speaker 1: your hard earned assets when you get really close to
5:37
Speaker 1: retirement eight seven seven four the number four gold Ira
5:43
Speaker 1: eight seven seven four gold Ira, or visit them online
5:48
Speaker 1: at augusta Precious Metals dot com. Say I sent you,
5:51
Speaker 1: and they will pay your fees for up to ten years.
5:54
Speaker 1: That's August of Precious Metals dot Com eight seven seven
5:57
Speaker 1: four gold Ira. Biden said, with his apparent disdainfull hand
6:03
Speaker 1: Jester towards the post reporters. You can come to my
6:06
Speaker 1: office and ask a question when you have more polite
6:11
Speaker 1: people with you. It's come in practice by the way
6:14
Speaker 1: for reporters to loudly shout questions and a president journalists
6:19
Speaker 1: standing near NBC News is Peter Alexander, who was twenty
6:22
Speaker 1: five feet from The New York Post said it up
6:25
Speaker 1: here Biden was trying to call on him. Biden granted
6:28
Speaker 1: exclusive interview to Peter Alexander moments after the chaotic event ended.
6:32
Speaker 1: Why because he knew that that wasn't going to come up.
6:37
Speaker 1: Biden also did say to Peter Alexander, adding this quote,
6:40
Speaker 1: I think the last thing the Chinese president g wants
6:43
Speaker 1: is to fundamentally rip the relationship with the United States,
6:46
Speaker 1: and me I kind of disagree with that. If that
6:50
Speaker 1: was true, then why would they be sending these by
6:52
Speaker 1: balloon and impacting formulations in such a damning way just
6:55
Speaker 1: days before your Secretary of State Anthony Bnkoln was supposed
6:59
Speaker 1: to meet with the Chinese government in China. The Biden family,
7:03
Speaker 1: by the way, and this is not up for debate,
7:06
Speaker 1: this is a fact has had two major relationships with
7:11
Speaker 1: Chinese state linked companies. In each instance, President Biden allegedly
7:16
Speaker 1: was directly involved based on the communications that we have seen. Quote,
7:23
Speaker 1: when you look at the Biden balloon that came across
7:26
Speaker 1: the country for a week, you look at how he
7:29
Speaker 1: changed from calling China an adversary and confronting China as
7:33
Speaker 1: President Trump did, to calling China a partner and even
7:37
Speaker 1: in this press conference called him a competitor. How much
7:42
Speaker 1: that has been influenced by the Biden's family corrupt business deals.
7:45
Speaker 1: That's what represented Bob good, a Republican Virginia, said in
7:49
Speaker 1: response to his press conference yesterday. We also know that
7:54
Speaker 1: it's not a little bit of money that we're talking
7:56
Speaker 1: about here, it's insane amounts of money. Business record show
8:00
Speaker 1: that Hunter Biden, again these are on their business records,
8:04
Speaker 1: still holds a ten percent stake, and the Chinese State
8:08
Speaker 1: back BHR Partners, which says it manages two point one
8:13
Speaker 1: billion in assets two point one billion assets. Ten percent
8:18
Speaker 1: of that Chinese State back to BHR Partners is owned
8:22
Speaker 1: by Hunter Biden. Despite his father's assistants there would be
8:26
Speaker 1: no family business related related conflicts of interest during his presidency,
8:31
Speaker 1: we now know that is also a lie. Hunter and
8:35
Speaker 1: Hunter co funded BHR Partners. In twenty sixteen, excuse me.
8:40
Speaker 1: Twenty thirteen, within weeks of then joining Vice President Biden
8:45
Speaker 1: to board Air Force two on an official government trip
8:49
Speaker 1: to Beijing, Hunter introduced his dad. We also know to
8:54
Speaker 1: the BHR CEO Jonathan Lee and Joe Biden later wrote
8:58
Speaker 1: college recommendation letters for Lee's children in the United States
9:02
Speaker 1: of America. Hunter Biden's attorney, Chris Clark, said in late
9:06
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one that the BHR steak had been divested,
9:11
Speaker 1: but neither he nor the White House has provided further
9:14
Speaker 1: information on that transaction. Joe Biden also was allegedly involved
9:22
Speaker 1: in Hunter and his first brother James Biden, venture with
9:25
Speaker 1: CFE China Energy, a firm reputed to be a cog
9:29
Speaker 1: in Beijing's Belt and Rode foreign influenced campaign. We have
9:34
Speaker 1: am May thirteenth, twenty seventeen email recovered from Hunter Biden's
9:40
Speaker 1: laptop that says, quote, the Big Guy would get ten
9:44
Speaker 1: percent of that deal. Now, let me also remind you
9:48
Speaker 1: that former Hunter Biden whistleblower and former business partner Tony
9:53
Speaker 1: Bobo Lensky has said multiple times that he discussed the
9:56
Speaker 1: deal with Joe Biden personally. This is the same guy
9:59
Speaker 1: that set down with the FBI. Both bab O Lensky
10:03
Speaker 1: and another former Hunter Biden partner, James Glare, also identified
10:07
Speaker 1: Joe Biden as the big Guy. So this is two
10:10
Speaker 1: people now that work directly with a Biden crime family
10:13
Speaker 1: who have both now come out as whistle blowers and
10:15
Speaker 1: have said the big guy is the President of the
10:18
Speaker 1: United States America, Joe Biden. It doesn't stop their, folks.
10:23
Speaker 1: We now know this Hunter and Jim Biden, the same
10:27
Speaker 1: guy that just had one hundred and forty million dollars
10:28
Speaker 1: deal with the Saudis under his well former vice president brothers.
10:33
Speaker 1: You know, hey, you go make us some cash for
10:36
Speaker 1: the Biden crime family. We talked about that just a
10:39
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. We now know that Hunter and
10:42
Speaker 1: Jim Biden earned a combined four point eight million dollars
10:46
Speaker 1: from CEFE China Energy in two seventeen and two eighteen,
10:51
Speaker 1: according to the Washington Post review of Hunter Biden's laptop documents.
10:57
Speaker 1: There's also in October two thousand and seventy email that
11:00
Speaker 1: identifies Joe Biden as a participant in a call. This
11:06
Speaker 1: the president, the current president, was a participant in a
11:09
Speaker 1: call about cefe's This is the communist Chinese government, right,
11:14
Speaker 1: This is a government owned agency and their attempt to
11:18
Speaker 1: purchase US natural gas. This also comes after we know
11:23
Speaker 1: that there's another problem here, and that is that the
11:27
Speaker 1: same brother, James Biden, right of Joe Biden, the president
11:31
Speaker 1: and his son we're trying to give them natural gas
11:34
Speaker 1: that came and rights in Louisiana in a big deal.
11:38
Speaker 1: This also comes after we found out that our strategic
11:40
Speaker 1: oil reserves are rated to artificially decrease the price of
11:44
Speaker 1: gas before the last election cycle, the midterm election, and
11:48
Speaker 1: they filled a tanker and where did it go? Directly
11:50
Speaker 1: to the accompanies CEFE China energy from our oil reserves.
11:55
Speaker 1: So we're supposed to be lowering the price for Americans
11:58
Speaker 1: and our oil went to CEFE, the same company that
12:01
Speaker 1: apparently Hunter Biden still has a financial stake in it.
12:05
Speaker 1: Biden says that the three UFOs that they've shot down
12:10
Speaker 1: have not had any relation to the Chinese program. Those
12:13
Speaker 1: are his words in this press conference. Seems pretty interesting
12:18
Speaker 1: that when it's a Chinese balloon, we don't shoot down
12:20
Speaker 1: till after it's done what it needed to do. And
12:23
Speaker 1: only are we shooting down kids science projects one of
12:27
Speaker 1: the projects. And I just have to tell you about
12:29
Speaker 1: this because it's a It truly is amazing that we're
12:32
Speaker 1: even having this conversation right now. It's like it's totally insane,
12:37
Speaker 1: because if I didn't actually have this to report, I
12:40
Speaker 1: wouldn't believe it okay, Biden let an actual Chinese spy
12:45
Speaker 1: balloon crossed two thousand miles of American airspace untouched. Now
12:51
Speaker 1: he fakes that he's being tough on China by shooting
12:55
Speaker 1: down what apparently it was a twelve dollar listen carefully,
12:59
Speaker 1: a twelve dollars science program from the I kid you
13:03
Speaker 1: not Northern Illinois bottle Cap balloon Brigade. So the President
13:10
Speaker 1: is showing a powerful determination with F sixteens and F
13:15
Speaker 1: twenty two raptors that we're if you're in a high
13:18
Speaker 1: school science club and you're trying to evade America, will
13:22
Speaker 1: blow you out of the scot If you're an actual
13:24
Speaker 1: Chinese confirmed balloon, we won't touch you until after you
13:28
Speaker 1: have a successful mission. If that doesn't tell you how
13:32
Speaker 1: compromise this president is. I don't know what else I
13:37
Speaker 1: can show you or explain to you can to convince
13:39
Speaker 1: you of this, because at this point you're just an idiot.
13:43
Speaker 1: There's bigger issues here too, and explains a lot of it.
13:48
Speaker 1: Biden has not stood up to China on the origins
13:52
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen. He's totally looked the other way and
13:55
Speaker 1: say we're not going to go there. He has refused
13:58
Speaker 1: to stand up to China on the amount of fetnol
14:01
Speaker 1: that's coming in from China. The majority of fetnol actually
14:05
Speaker 1: comes from China, and then it goes to the drug
14:08
Speaker 1: cartels in Mexico, they finish up the manufacturing or in
14:13
Speaker 1: some cases they get the final product already, and then
14:15
Speaker 1: it's exported into the United States of America. China has
14:20
Speaker 1: been exporting more illegal fetnal than any other country in
14:24
Speaker 1: the world. Nearly two hundred thousand Americans died between twenty
14:30
Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty twenty one alone. The number one killer
14:35
Speaker 1: of people in this country under the age of thirty
14:39
Speaker 1: is fetnyl. How does this present not stand up to China?
14:45
Speaker 1: US spy agencies also assessed In August, The New York
14:49
Speaker 1: Post reports that the lab leak in Wuhan, China, was
14:54
Speaker 1: one of two quote plausible explanations for the pandemic. Biden
15:00
Speaker 1: refuses to talk about that. He regularly, by the way,
15:04
Speaker 1: mistakes that fetenal's the fetinal death toll. He rarely mentions
15:10
Speaker 1: that it's sourced from China. Now, this event that Biden
15:15
Speaker 1: had on Thursday afternoon was also an example of just
15:21
Speaker 1: how out of touch with reality. This president is the
15:26
Speaker 1: president goes into EOB, the old Executive Office building, which
15:30
Speaker 1: houses a set of literally a fake White House. There
15:35
Speaker 1: were a lot of reporters that were angry because they
15:39
Speaker 1: were informed at one o four that Biden would be
15:43
Speaker 1: speaking at two in the South Court Auditorium at the
15:46
Speaker 1: White House, adjacent to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. That
15:52
Speaker 1: changed everything. Then a link was provided for journalists interested
15:56
Speaker 1: in attending the event. They're like, why are you doing this?
15:59
Speaker 1: So last minute reporters were then told forty five minutes
16:03
Speaker 1: after their oriential email to gather for those remarks at
16:06
Speaker 1: one fifty. White House aids didn't inform reporters of who
16:10
Speaker 1: was allowed to attend, so almost all reporters entered the
16:13
Speaker 1: venue and took their seats before the presidential podium. White
16:17
Speaker 1: House aids and asked journalists to check their emails to
16:19
Speaker 1: see if they were issued a credential to attend or not.
16:23
Speaker 1: And there are a lot of people that are like, wait,
16:25
Speaker 1: what's going on here? You guys are in this adjacent
16:28
Speaker 1: White House and the EOB. You guys have got these
16:31
Speaker 1: seats here, You give us forty minutes and now you're
16:34
Speaker 1: telling us that we're not allowed to be in here
16:36
Speaker 1: unless we're on a select list. Several journalists, by the way,
16:40
Speaker 1: including the Post, received emails at one fifty two PM,
16:45
Speaker 1: after reporters were already gathered, saying due to space space limitations,
16:49
Speaker 1: we're unable to accommodate your credential requests for the Podus remarks.
16:55
Speaker 1: In other words, we give you no time to repair
16:57
Speaker 1: and we only let in our friend lease. Some reporters
17:02
Speaker 1: left the room when asked, but the Post reporter by
17:04
Speaker 1: the way pointed out about two dozen empty theater style
17:07
Speaker 1: seats is evidence that there was no space limitations, and
17:09
Speaker 1: a press aid finally gave in and they stayed in
17:13
Speaker 1: the room. This is what they do in Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba.
17:20
Speaker 1: The White House Press Corps, by the way, is pushed
17:21
Speaker 1: back of the Biden administration's mysterious pre screening of reporters
17:25
Speaker 1: allowed into large presidential events. Those restrictions began during COVID
17:30
Speaker 1: nineteen pandemic, but have lingered long after masking testing and
17:35
Speaker 1: social distancing rules have ended in the White House. This
17:40
Speaker 1: is a clear way of the Biden administration trying to
17:43
Speaker 1: shape the variety of questions presented to the present to
17:47
Speaker 1: only have those that are friendly to them in the
17:49
Speaker 1: room on their toughest days in office. Thank goodness, the
17:53
Speaker 1: New York Post reporter refused to leave, even tweeting out
17:56
Speaker 1: a picture of empty seats. So if you just step
18:01
Speaker 1: back and you look at this entire disaster, and it
18:05
Speaker 1: is a disaster, a fiasco. Number One, you have a
18:09
Speaker 1: present that tries to do a last minute press conference
18:12
Speaker 1: about a huge news story that he has refused to
18:14
Speaker 1: talk about. Okay, that's number one. Number two, he then
18:19
Speaker 1: tries to not allow in reporters that he doesn't want
18:23
Speaker 1: to answer questions from. That doesn't work, but then they
18:30
Speaker 1: still kick some reporters out, and other reporters refuse to leave.
18:34
Speaker 1: Then when he's asked a question by a reporter that
18:39
Speaker 1: is basically willing to overshout NBC News, Peter Alexander, they
18:45
Speaker 1: reward Peter Alexander, they're friendly with a one on one
18:48
Speaker 1: interview in his office after the fact, and the President
18:53
Speaker 1: refuses to answer the question about is the reason why
18:56
Speaker 1: you can't stand up to China on all of these things?
19:00
Speaker 1: On fetnol on COVID nineteen on these Chinese spy balloons
19:06
Speaker 1: is the reason why you can't stand up to them
19:09
Speaker 1: because your family has made too much money, has made
19:14
Speaker 1: too much cash, and has too many business interests in China. Now,
19:21
Speaker 1: Kamoa Harris also did a nine one one emergency interview
19:26
Speaker 1: with NBC News. NBC News of course, jumped all over this, right,
19:30
Speaker 1: and they were very excited about this. Kama Harris did
19:33
Speaker 1: this nine one one emergency interview because the present screwed
19:36
Speaker 1: up so bad yesterday she needed to go out there
19:38
Speaker 1: and clean it up. Here's what she had to say
19:41
Speaker 1: about the balloon shot down. But why shoot first when
19:44
Speaker 1: we didn't have a policy in place. Well, let's be clear,
19:48
Speaker 1: first of all, as it relates to the Chinese balloon,
19:52
Speaker 1: we shot it down because it needed to be shot down,
19:56
Speaker 1: because we were confident that it was used by China
20:01
Speaker 1: to spy on the American people. I mean, they want
20:09
Speaker 1: you to give them extra credit because we shut it
20:13
Speaker 1: down because it needed to be shut down, but only
20:14
Speaker 1: after it was successfully gathering intel. That's their line. That's
20:19
Speaker 1: what they want you to believe. You know. Well, let's
20:21
Speaker 1: be clear, we shut it down. No you didn't, No,
20:26
Speaker 1: you didn't. It was a failure. It was successful. It
20:30
Speaker 1: did what it needed to do. It grabbed everything that
20:33
Speaker 1: it needed to grab. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris keep
20:39
Speaker 1: saying we shot it down. Democrats keep saying we shut down.
20:44
Speaker 1: That's like saying, hey, I'm a good Samaritan because I
20:47
Speaker 1: called the cops after I robbed somebody, after I murdered somebody.
20:52
Speaker 1: The damage has already been done. You don't get extra
20:56
Speaker 1: credit for making a mistake. I then saying, well, we
21:01
Speaker 1: did shoot it down after it was no longer a threat,
21:04
Speaker 1: just because the balloon was balloon was no longer a
21:06
Speaker 1: threat to us. Christy Nome was on Hannity last night
21:11
Speaker 1: and she had a very interesting thing to say about
21:14
Speaker 1: this spy balloon. Take a listen to her take, and
21:17
Speaker 1: it made me laugh because it's actually not far off
21:20
Speaker 1: from probably reality. Ooh, what the other three objects were
21:26
Speaker 1: that he ordered our military to shoot down with four
21:29
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars sidewind of missiles? Now, I don't know
21:33
Speaker 1: what's worse or are they equally as bad? What are
21:36
Speaker 1: your thoughts? All equally is bad? It's unbelievable to me.
21:41
Speaker 1: They don't know what these objects are yet, Sean, let
21:44
Speaker 1: me tell you a story. I was standing upstairs in
21:47
Speaker 1: the Governor's residence, actually in my closet, when one of
21:50
Speaker 1: my staffers came upstairs and said, Governor, we need to
21:53
Speaker 1: talk to you downstairs about a national security issue that
21:57
Speaker 1: you need to be briefed on by your national Guard.
22:00
Speaker 1: They indicated to me that the Pentagon and Department of
22:02
Speaker 1: Defense had reached out to them that they needed to
22:04
Speaker 1: be on alert because there was a foreign object in
22:07
Speaker 1: the sky over Montana that would be coming into South
22:10
Speaker 1: Dakota in the next twenty four hours and our assets
22:13
Speaker 1: might need to be utilized to take it down. Now, listen, Sean.
22:16
Speaker 1: This was two days before the rest of the country
22:18
Speaker 1: even knew that this object existed, and the Pentagon and
22:22
Speaker 1: the White House did not let me know as governor
22:24
Speaker 1: of South Dakota that my national Guard may be utilized,
22:27
Speaker 1: that my f sixteens or personnel that have expertise and
22:31
Speaker 1: recovery of these kind of objects might be tapped to
22:33
Speaker 1: come in and assist the United States. And they did
22:36
Speaker 1: not have any communication with me until the balloon had
22:40
Speaker 1: already crossed through South Dakota was over the Central United States.
22:44
Speaker 1: In fact, when you guys were reporting on Fox News
22:47
Speaker 1: that it was over Montana, that balloon had already crossed
22:50
Speaker 1: into the middle of the country. So this is the
22:52
Speaker 1: kind of deception that we have going on with our administration.
22:56
Speaker 1: This is what they've lied to the American people, covered
22:58
Speaker 1: it up. They've gone around governors and not communicated to us.
23:01
Speaker 1: And frankly, I believe they shot this balloon down over
23:05
Speaker 1: the water because they wanted to be able to decide
23:08
Speaker 1: what was on board that balloon and if some of
23:11
Speaker 1: it was lost at sea that they didn't want us
23:14
Speaker 1: to ever know about. That was an easy narrative that
23:18
Speaker 1: they could sell to us, that they could keep as
23:20
Speaker 1: much quiet as they felt they wanted to. Christie nom
23:23
Speaker 1: there on the way she described that that was an
23:25
Speaker 1: easy narrative that they could sell to us, that they
23:27
Speaker 1: could keep us keep as much quiet as they felt
23:30
Speaker 1: they wanted to. I can't say that that's a crazy
23:33
Speaker 1: conspiracy theory. I can't say that that's wrong, because based
23:37
Speaker 1: on what I've seen from this administration, that actually makes
23:40
Speaker 1: a have a lot of sense, right, I mean, I mean,
23:44
Speaker 1: based on what we were witnessing from this administration, I
23:50
Speaker 1: get it. It is something that very much is a
23:56
Speaker 1: plausible explanation for what we are witnessing right now. Now,
24:02
Speaker 1: there's one other thing about Biden's press conference that you
24:04
Speaker 1: need to understand. They're just trying to mislead you on
24:08
Speaker 1: the facts. They keep saying that we shout this one
24:11
Speaker 1: down and we're going to protect this friendly skies, and
24:15
Speaker 1: yet they're not saying to China, stop it. The President
24:20
Speaker 1: refused to call out China. I'm gonna play for you
24:24
Speaker 1: the press conference, okay, and I'm gonna try not to interrupt,
24:28
Speaker 1: because I think it's an important thing for you to hear.
24:30
Speaker 1: But I want you to hear it in the context
24:32
Speaker 1: of a president that is walking out there on stage.
24:35
Speaker 1: And this president does not say early on, in the middle,
24:40
Speaker 1: or at the end anything about China, don't screw with
24:43
Speaker 1: the United States of America. He doesn't say to China,
24:47
Speaker 1: knock it off. In fact, he says, China, we don't
24:51
Speaker 1: want to be your enemy, China. We want to actually
24:55
Speaker 1: get along with you. We want us to be have
24:57
Speaker 1: a friendly competition. Listen, good afternoon. Last week, an immediate
25:05
Speaker 1: aftermath of the incursion by China's high altitude balloon, our
25:09
Speaker 1: military through the North American Aerospace Defense Command, so called
25:14
Speaker 1: NORAD closely scrutinized our airspace, including enhancing our radar to
25:21
Speaker 1: pick up more slow moving objects above our country around
25:26
Speaker 1: the world, and doing so, they attract three unidentified objects,
25:31
Speaker 1: one Alaska, Canada and over a Lake Huron in the Midwest.
25:36
Speaker 1: They acted in accordance with established parameters for determining how
25:40
Speaker 1: to deal with undunified areal objects in US airspace. At
25:44
Speaker 1: their recommendation, I gave the order to take down these
25:48
Speaker 1: three objects due to hazards to civilian commercial air traffic
25:52
Speaker 1: and because we could not rule out the surveillance risk
25:55
Speaker 1: of sensitive facilities. We acted in consultation with the Canadian government.
26:01
Speaker 1: I spoke personally with Prime Minister Trudeau and camp from
26:04
Speaker 1: Canada on Saturday, and just as critically, we acted out
26:08
Speaker 1: of an abundance of caution and an opportunity that allowed
26:11
Speaker 1: us to take down these objects safely. Our military and
26:16
Speaker 1: the Canadian military are seeking to recover the debris so
26:20
Speaker 1: we can learn more about these three objects. Our intelligence
26:24
Speaker 1: community is still assessing all three incidences. They're reporting to
26:28
Speaker 1: me daily and will continue their urgent efforts to do so,
26:31
Speaker 1: and I will communicate that to the Congress. We don't
26:34
Speaker 1: yet know exactly what these three objects were, but nothing
26:38
Speaker 1: right now suggests they were related to China's spy balloon
26:41
Speaker 1: program or that there were surveillance vehicles from any other country.
26:46
Speaker 1: The intelligence community's current assessment is that these three objects
26:50
Speaker 1: were most likely balloons tied to private companies, recreation or
26:54
Speaker 1: research institutions studying whether or conducting other scientific research. When
27:00
Speaker 1: I came into office, I instructed our intelligence community to
27:03
Speaker 1: take a broad look at the phenomenon of unidentified aerial objects.
27:08
Speaker 1: We know that a range of entities, including countries, companies,
27:11
Speaker 1: and research organizations, operate objects at altitudes for purposes that
27:15
Speaker 1: are not nefarious, including legitimate scientific research. I want to
27:20
Speaker 1: be clear, we don't have any evidence that there has
27:23
Speaker 1: been a sudden increase in the number of objects in
27:26
Speaker 1: the sky. We're now just seeing more of them, partially
27:30
Speaker 1: because the steps we've taken to increase our radars to
27:33
Speaker 1: narrow our radars. Notice no warning yet to China, no
27:37
Speaker 1: warning to China, no opening statement to China. China. And
27:42
Speaker 1: he could have even said, I want to be clear
27:44
Speaker 1: to President g and I will communicate this with him directly.
27:47
Speaker 1: He could start off by saying that he could have
27:50
Speaker 1: said that, I want to be clear to President G
27:54
Speaker 1: and I will state this to him directly. But to
27:56
Speaker 1: the China, the Chinese government and their spies, make no mistake,
28:03
Speaker 1: you better cut this crap out. We don't want this
28:07
Speaker 1: to become an adversarial issue. We want to be able
28:11
Speaker 1: to be competitors and not this to become a military issue.
28:15
Speaker 1: But we will defend our skies and our airspace and
28:19
Speaker 1: do not do this and send another damn balloon. The
28:23
Speaker 1: President still multiple minutes into this press conference and say
28:27
Speaker 1: that keep listening, listen for anything that warns China. And
28:31
Speaker 1: we have to keep adapting our approach to delay to
28:35
Speaker 1: dealing with these challenges. That's why I've directed my team
28:38
Speaker 1: to come back to me with sharper rules for how
28:41
Speaker 1: we will deal with these unidentified objects moving forward, distinguishing
28:45
Speaker 1: distinguishing between those that are likely to post safety and
28:48
Speaker 1: security risks that necessitate action and those that do not.
28:53
Speaker 1: But make no mistake, if any object presents a threat
28:57
Speaker 1: to the safety and security to American people, I will
28:59
Speaker 1: take it down. I'll be sharing with Congress these classified
29:04
Speaker 1: policy parameters when they are completed, and they'll remain classified
29:09
Speaker 1: so we don't give our roadmap to our enemies to
29:11
Speaker 1: try to evade our defenses. Going forward, these parameters will
29:16
Speaker 1: guide what actions will take while responding to unmanned and
29:19
Speaker 1: unidentified aerial objects. We're going to keep adapting them as
29:23
Speaker 1: the challenges evolved, if it evolves. In addition, we've drive
29:26
Speaker 1: directing my National Security Advisor to lead a government wide
29:30
Speaker 1: effort to make sure we are positioned to deal safely
29:33
Speaker 1: and effectively with the objects in our airspace. First, we
29:38
Speaker 1: will establish a better inventory of unmanned airborne objects in
29:43
Speaker 1: space above the United States air space and make sure
29:46
Speaker 1: that inventory is accessible and up to date. Second, we'll
29:52
Speaker 1: implement further measures to improve our capacity to detect unman
29:55
Speaker 1: objective objects in our airspace. Third, update the rules and
30:01
Speaker 1: regulations for launching and maintaining unmanned objects in the skies
30:05
Speaker 1: above the United States of America. And Fourth, my Secretary
30:10
Speaker 1: of State will lead an effort to help establish a
30:14
Speaker 1: common global norms in this largely unregulated space. These steps
30:19
Speaker 1: will lead to safer and more secure skies for our
30:22
Speaker 1: air travelers, our military, our scientists, and for people on
30:26
Speaker 1: the ground as well. That's my job as your president
30:29
Speaker 1: commander in Chief, as the events of the previous days
30:33
Speaker 1: have shown, will always act to protect the interest of
30:36
Speaker 1: the American people and the security of American people. Since
30:39
Speaker 1: I came to office, we've developed the ability to identify, track,
30:43
Speaker 1: and study high altitudes surveillance balloons connected with the Chinese military.
30:48
Speaker 1: When one of these high altitudes surveillance balloons entered our
30:51
Speaker 1: airspace over the continent of the United States earlier in
30:54
Speaker 1: the month, I gave the order to shoot it down
30:57
Speaker 1: as soon as it would be safe to do so.
31:00
Speaker 1: The military advised against shooting it down over land because
31:03
Speaker 1: of the sheer size of it. It was the size
31:05
Speaker 1: of multiple school buses and opposed the risk to people
31:08
Speaker 1: on the ground. I'm just gonna stop there. That's your
31:12
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America, after a massive
31:16
Speaker 1: incursion into United States airspace by a Chinese spy balloon
31:21
Speaker 1: that was of the most intense new intelligence gathering technology,
31:30
Speaker 1: and no warning to China, don't do it again. Don't
31:35
Speaker 1: do it again. Nowhere did you hear that? Don't do
31:40
Speaker 1: it again. I'm gonna keep covering this. I'm gonna keep digging.
31:45
Speaker 1: I will not stop because everybody needs to know what's happening. Here,
31:49
Speaker 1: and it's putting our national security I truly believe at risk.
31:53
Speaker 1: All right, make sure you share a podcast for our
31:55
Speaker 1: family and friends. I'll see it back here tomorrow
