Theyve gotten from us in this process. so, as weve done measures to keep it from communicating back home, you know, whatever weve done to jam it, theyre learning our capabilities. so this has been a huge mistake, look, if this president, if this administration is incompetent in protecting the homeland, perhaps somebody needs to step down because this is just unacceptable. neil: what if, chairman, the chinese dont care if we know they can do this, and that this might have been planned so they cou...

Information they want to glean. it is worth pointing out that the intelligence gathering operation from the u.s. perspective hasnt started now. it happened as this balloon made its way across the united states. the pentagon says they took steps to mitigate the ability of the chinese to gather information or intelligence from this and instead, tried to gather their own about the capabilities and technology aboard the balloon. so now that will shift from it being in motion to once they bring it up...

Our own courtney -- has more. >> the u.s. military first detected the surveillance balloon in alaska this week, tracking it into canada and montana, spotted less than 200 miles from the u.s. into -- missile silos. on wednesday, president biden decided not to bring it down after senior military leaders fear that it could hit people on the ground. its roughly the size of two school buses and flying at 60,000 feet. u.s. officials say that it doesnt currently threaten commercial aviation or civilian...

More about them. the reason that they have a shut it down, the pentagon say, they do not want any civilians blow to be hurt so that is the official line from the pentagon but i spoke with someone in the pyrenees at the moment and he is an expert in electronic warfare and he said it is not as easy as you might think to get one of these things down from the sky. heres what he had to say. same at the blueness, judging by all appearances, made of rubber or plastic —like material that makes, i woul...

House going back and forth about what to do about this, so not surprising. and when it comes down to, a pretty simple military operation, just a real risk, of course, as we have been talking about, trying to minimise collateral damage, trying to make sure this enormous balloon, again, three double—decker buses, not in the way many civilians so once that was done, ones that were settled, once that was overwater, really a clean cut mission from the united states military. cut mission from the un...

I dont remember, recollect this. ive had some personal experience with using balloons as intelligence collector, particularly for imagery, and theyre not very efficient for that purpose. thats why im a little skeptical of that imagery. theyre so subject to the vagaries of weather. you know, mist, fog, rain, and especially as weve seen in this case, wind. theyre hard to control. so im very interested to learn if we can publicly just what sort of sensor suite was in the payload of the balloon. >> ...

The secretary of state did great job in articulating that today. i think he was smart to delay his trip. and were sending a message that this is unacceptable and we will learn about chinas capabilities through this episode and hopefully try to prevent them from ever doing this again. >> i do think there is a post of other examples of what people said donald trump was weak on russia. but yes, not that one. >> thanks. >> always good to see you especially on a friday night. thank you for being here...

Technology spying notwithstanding goes way beyond ours, when you make of that? >> is clearly not a weather balloon. the pentagon said that definitively yesterday the size and everything of the balloon is probably do most of the fact it has to carry a large payload at heavy payload of the sensors and other cameras, you name it we need to know again what that is. but look, the nine states and militarys arrow stats in the past to local surveillance in afghanistan and whatnot. weve a lot of other ca...

Capable surveillance balloon over the continental u.s. including overflying several sensitive installations and now a u.s. president making a decision to fire weapons, fire a missile from an f-22 fighter jet to destroy that surveillance balloon, but also critically take it down in u.s. territorial waters off the coast of south carolina with ships on the surface there, as were told, going to make an attempt, at least, to collect what it can from here that they can further learn exactly what chine...
