Which the us military typically tries to protect. people at first thought, why balloons? but i guess your point is that there are things balloons offer that satellites and other techniques might not. it can be hard to distinguish where a balloon is coming from. for example, a satellite or a drone, you could say its coming from x countrys military, but with a balloon, its more benign. and so beijing tried to say that it was being used for meteorological purposes. a bit of deniability about what t...

And his counterpart in china did have the choinese admitting tha the foreign ministry didnt know that the balloon was off course, should have called the americans. yes, it was knocked off course by the wind. you didnt intend to do that. that was useful. mccarthy -- kevin mccarthy saying that hes not going to make a trip to taiwan, which would be an unnecessary provocation of the chinese, and the taiwanese dont want him to go. they dont want that problem. thats useful. i think the most important ...

Smith, listen. i was happy for him last year. >> yeah. >> i was like, hey, really good. geno is having this second act. but $105 million front loaded? >> hello. >> thats insane. almost as insane as having aaron rodgers in the new york market. listen, first super bowl i remember was super bowl iii. i adored joe namath. i always, after the falcons lose the first 17 games of the year, i go, "come on, jets." then they break my heart. but this guy has a different conspiracy theory every day. the chin...
