About what is going on here. how do you think they should handle this in terms of communicating and letting us know what they know, and what they decide about future policymaking around perceived threats and incursions? >> at the end of this experiment and i hope three weeks from now we are not shooting down tiny balloons. but the end of this, the government and ministration those the full replay of what happened. based on the briefings ive had i think they have made good decisions along the way...

Cant shoot down everything all the time. and i guess im sort of stating the obvious but sometimes it needs to be stated. two weeks ago there were things throating over the u.s. and we werent shooting them down. either we didnt see them or didnt shoot them. what are you going to do? shoot everything? it feels unprepared. >> yeah, quiet on the northern front today. nothing shot down thaad. thats what theyre doing increasing the aperture and concern is false positives, we would be scrambling f-22s ...

Weeks from now were not shooting down or talking about balloons. based on the previews ive had i think theyve made good decisions on the way. but i would suggest to the white house you want to tell us about a balloon coming in before some guy on the back of a horse in montana looks up and sees it or in the case of john kirby losing track of the second or third balloon you ought to not be asked by a reporter in order to talk about one these balloons. because guess what, a guy on horseback can see...
