sensitive information. the bottom line is this is an administration that identified the problem and took action. we were hoping that maybe we d get a chance to talk to president biden about any impact on the taiwan issue, or what s been happening with the balloon, but the president, no public events on his schedule today, getting ready to head to camp david for the easter weekend, but there s a press briefing at the podium this afternoon. harris? mark, thank you very much. brian mast of florida sits on the house foreign affairs committee, a army veteran, awarded a purple heart, bronze star for his service to our nation. we re so grateful, that you are serving now as a congressman. tell me from the committee that you sit on what are the greatest dangers that you all are looking at right now with regard to china. a number of things. so the term was used, escalating tensions between china and the united states. here s the reasons i can give you in a nutshell as to why. they have the
