Faa and the pentagon to make sure, when you have a special military operation like what it took to bring down this balloon, that it happens without any threat to american lives or property. >> lastly on this topic, will there be consequences beyond shooting it down? will the chinese government be sanctioned or penalized in any way? >> the u.s. made clear this is an unacceptable intrusion into american sovereignty. you can expect any further developments will be appropriate in response to what ha...

China, which claims the balloon was a civilian meteorological device, is not pleased. saying this was a, quote, obvious overreaction, and it reserves the right to, quote, take further actions. we will have more on this story later in the show. but now, we turn our attention to tuesdays state of the union, and the dncs vote to change its primary schedule. earlier this morning, i spoke with chair of the democratic national committee, jaime harrison, about it all. watch. chairman harrison, welcome ...

This kind of incident cannot happen again. and it will not happen again. in the future, if we see that kind of balloon, we are going to -- if they dont take action to prevent that balloon from entering our air space, that we will indeed shoot it down much earlier than we did this time around. >> and i think if i have you straight, youre saying that you think this should have been shot down perhaps over montana, something like that, maybe over a sparsely populated area before it crossed over the ...

Important, right? radiation detectors, air samples, that kind of thing. presumably, it could give them information that they wouldnt otherwise have. if they were jammed, then it may not be that big of an issue. the question is, when did the jamming began? it was a successful? was there anything they were able to transmit back to china before any jamming went into effect? thats the real question at this point. but its not the first time this has happened. remember, we are hearing from the pentago...

President Joe Biden will use his second State of the Union address Tuesday to remind Americans of how their lives have been improved over his first two years in office,

Considerations. xi jinping has looked quite weak recently because of his mishandling of the covid crisis. the economic ramifications of that -- he needs to show some strength. poking the united states in the eye is a tried and tested way for americas enemies, and for china, to show a little strength. to feel a little better about their own position. look, we sent a balloon all the way across the united states. they didnt see it coming for days and days and days. ultimately, they were not able to...
