1:45 eastern time with the f-22. it does tell me perhaps the administration is still trying to gather the facts, theyre trying to understand, now, what are the nature of this object. they may not have all the facts. you know, from a policy maker standpoint, especially on the heels of that chinese spy balloon that was shot down last weekend, you would have thought that we would have been really on top of this and maybe alerted the american people, but well -- i think the greater point here is not...

Whereas one of their balloons is less than a million dollars. in other words, were going to be the on the paying side of this, so they can just keep sending balloons regardless of capability and cost us a lot of money. if we look at this map, we have f-22s, i believe this is the flight path. they come up, they scramble, they wait on the mission, they go out. this is burning fossil fuels, its costing a lot of time and resources. is there a chance thats part of the mission here? >> thats part of i...

Military doesnt have the capability to make those determinations. we could argue whether the balloon should have been shot down for the pacific or atlanta, and i want to clean that up. our military would never allow weapons platform they had been watching for days to penetrate u.s. air space. to your question, look, the chinese-- this balloon overflight was brazen. now, we dont really know at what levels of the china government this was approved. we dont have that information yet, but the very f...

Appeal to guttural fears, other emotions. it is work for them, in fairness. right? >> in terms. this is why the bridges isnt upset by this. its not working for them. >> i hear you. there is some value. there are people who do watch fox. there are millions of americans who are very devoted to this approach to access information. >> the problem is, someone who worked in the campaign world. they are doing math, right? they have the people who are qanon. the qanons are with them. right? the people w...

Military brought down what it says was a chinese spy balloon. jon donnison reports. its almost a week since the us military shot down what it said was a chinese spy balloon off the coast of south carolina. now the pentagon says fighterjets like these have intercepted another unidentified object, this time in the skies above alaska. we have no further details about the object at this time, including any description of its capabilities, purpose, or origin. the object was about the size of a small ...

Incident? >> well, i think its a little of both. i think i can take the explanation at face value, that it might have interfered with commercial aviation. but at the same time, i think the president learned that you know what, its better to go ahead and take these things down sooner rather than later. we cant be completely confident that its not the type of intelligence platform that could have unique collection over, for example, military bases and the like. so i think the less of it, the left ...

Unusual, but this does seem unique, right? because of the lack of maneuverability, maybe it was, you know, powered by wind, that it is the size of a small car, its being described versus the other one, which is the length of three buses, or is this unique? is this a way in which to spy? how unique in your view is this? >> well, we dont know. i mean hopefully they will recover whats left of this object, and be in a better position to identify what its actual purpose is and capabilities. and it do...

Was a chinese spy balloon. jon donnison reports. its almost a week since the us military shot down what it said was a chinese spy balloon off the coast of south carolina. now the pentagon says fighterjets like these have intercepted another unidentified object, this time in the skies above alaska. we have no further details about the object at this time, including any description of its capabilities, purpose, or origin. the object was about the size of a small car, so not similar in size or shap...

Each which is why i will say without any confirmation that i know they were from china because russia is right there and supposedly smaller and different in size and scope and capabilities flying lower for all purposes, the vehicle or object is different than what we shotgun from china so what we do in a position with two foes testing our ability to control our own airspace, and what? >> as much as we are watching, they are definitely watching. we will continue to bring anymore developed as they...

This time in the skies above alaska. we have no further details about the object at this time, including any description of its capabilities, purpose, or origin. the object was about the size of a small car, so not similar in size or shape to the high altitude surveillance balloon that was taken down off the coast of south carolina on february 4th. defence officials say this latest object had been flying at around 40,000 feet close to an area called prudhoe bay, much lower than last weeks balloo...
