People rarely think about the massive infrastructure they depend on every time they make a call or receive a text message on their mobile phones or how the massive amounts of data arrive on their devices almost instantly when watching reels on TikTok. The mobile connections that most of the world now relies on require a global network that consists of millions of towers and nearly enough fiber optic cables to reach Pluto. The global dependence on this network is great for the companies that own
and exploit it once they make that penetration. brian: yeah. the one thing that they have report the russians say they took out 35 ukrainian tanks. they a lot of time they inflate their success. but, i think that if we can supply the satellite footage, i mean the satellite technology to allow them to see where the russian weakness is, that would certainly help, right? oh, yes, listen, so our viewers also understand the united states has been providing exquisite intelligence to the ukrainians every single day of this war. we know where the russians are obviously we have satellite coverage. we do other flights. not obviously not in russia but also to know where their russian positions are in ukraine. and we have other sources and methods to gather information that s why the ukrainians have been so successful at dealing where is the russian are a till, where are the command and control basis, et cetera. they have pretty good intelligence on where the

that s the explanation. neil: not detected at all. okay, so they no, no, no, let me finish, neil. yeah, that s why they have no knowledge of it. because we didn t detect it. nobody was going to brief something that wasn t detected. but that is alarming, to me, it is more serious a problem, because i believe that china is not just trying to get information for military bases by surveilling them. they are trying to penetrate the united states with other kinds of vehicles and find out, where we are vulnerable, because we do not have sufficient radar coverage or sufficient satellite coverage, and likely that is in the south, southeast, and southwest, because our radar coverage and our satellite coverage is protecting us from ballistic missiles and nuclear bombers coming from russia and china, in the east, west, and north. so, this is a serious issue, and i believe this administration
