Prayers 😇🙏🇮🇩🇸🇾🇹🇷🇺🇸
Yes can anybody tell us how that we can help her in the United States with to your Rescue Mission and help these people get back on their feet
It wouldn’t have mattered if TWH addressed the balloon situation right away. The idiotic criticisms that came from the right would have been just as outrageous. The outcome would still be be the same.
Tell the truth. There was a huge gap in our defense and intelligence. This spy balloon flew right between the US Air Force and US Space Force, a no-man's land if you will. Biden's team stepped up and started defending the overlooked space.
The ballon is almost 3x taller than a normal hot air balloon. WHAT WHAT!
wow Miss Lady, I didn't know that until you mentioned it! why would China need to fly a balloon over us when they have people like y'all to just give the information out? You literally told China right now what is on that base.
Kristen Welker is president Biden and democrats biggest critic. She sounds like is a MAGA republicans. Her and so many other news reporters. The white house need to keep these reporters out of the white house interviewing the staff and coming on social media said these white house staffers are against the president decisions on policy and economy.

My heart and those of my entire family goes to the Syrian and to the Turkish Nations for the losses of lives in the devastating earthquake of 7.8 magnitude!!!
Meet the press now has become my number 1 way of getting news
People are getting wrapped around the axel on the "balloon" aspect of this. This was an opportunity to inspect the behaviour of a Chinese data collection platform. We probably used sensitive and classified hardware and methods to record transmissions from the Chinese hardware while it was in operation. The size of the balloon makes it difficult to capture prior to crossing our ADIZ lines. The retaliation will probably take place near Taiwan or China's installations in the South China Sea. Companies based in The United States with factories and offices in China will be subjected to detailed scrutiny. These companies and interests are convenient targets for a quick retailiation.
This is an opportunity to gather intel on the payload that this balloon was carrying. We probably took steps at our sensitive facilities to minimize the info collected at sensitive sites. Hopefully, these actions were done before the balloon was in sight of our sensitive facilities. The actions taken at sensitive sites to minimize info collected is telling and useful information.
China will consider all of their tech on this balloon as compromised. China must now embark on some fairly extensive and expensive rework. There is never a good time for that.
In a nutshell, letting the balloon pass over The United States and shooting it down in a controlled airspace was the right call.
If we were smart, we created and executed a set of experiments to observe the behaviour and transmissions in response to single actions and combinations of actions. They may change the encryption used to send data but fundemental behavioural responses may stay the same.
We must reverse engineer the hardware carried by this balloon asap. China will be working to make significant changes to secure data collected by their platforms. This is expensive and time consuming for China and The United States. Time is definitely a factor.
How does Biden come up with the cash he's giving away? Why is it America's job to care for countries in crisis? we can't care for the people living in America.
To the 81 million voters, we accept your apology.
Thank you for your objective reporting about the balloon. I just had FOX on and they were ranting about “No balloons crossed during the trump’s administration” with extreme bellicose towards Biden. I am just so sick of the polarizing effects of the Republicans. I used to be one but I would be ashamed to be one now. This isn’t leadership.
If someone breaks the law it should be because someone breaks the law, not democrat or republican. This bickering is destroying our Country. It is my view now that the Republican party should be censured until oaths of office are reaffirmed and they be held accountable to truth in office. God i will be glad when this latest Cultural Panic has passed. It sets all the work gone before to the wastebasket and who can hope under that display.
The people in Turkey and Syria need all the help they can get. I know Syria is war torn, but they need help as well. I pray they both receive the help needed.
It's not going to matter how much info you give the gang of eight they will never be satisfied and they will always criticize our government actions.
Shooting it down late it already for sure have sent info back to China
Biden hasn't accomplished anything except instability!
Lies
Trump allowed thousands of lunatics to invade the capital (dereliction of duty) yet the d***head GOP are obsessing over a baloon
Holy crushed sh÷t on the rubble! Too many dead in the earthquake?
Where weee these outraged Republicans when Chinese balloons floating in USairspace? Perhaps at then time they could not bark!

instead of sanctions and regime change wars we could be rebuilding ,before these things happen, there always questions when america go to help.with ''aid'',we will be watching ,our hearts and prayers go out to all those who have been effected
Christian I hope you do pay attention to what needs to be done and said by President Biden and I wish she would please stop the negativity I hear you loud and clear and I understand what you were trying to do and it’s not becoming of you. Listen to these gentlemen who are trying to explain things to you and you just keep asking the same question over and over like you were trying to find some negativity it’s really getting old and I really wish you would learn how to be a better mediator
I do like the gentleman explaining what the good possibilities we trade it off for waiting to shoot the balloon down I believe you really need to listen to this man Christian because you tend to jump the gun way too much and it’s annoying
This lady talking with the glasses is a perfect example of why Our President is not discussing our intelligence to any one bc the media is so concerned in making a story they are forgetting that we Have to be private about some things. She literally just let everyone in the world what kind of middles we have and where. So dumb, I totally agree to stay quiet about all this…. I approve of the President of all this matter! Trump is not our president and Biden is not the type to tweet every day about business that is suppose to be private until need be not. Realize Our President was protecting us, if he would have allowed them to burst the ballpoon and it put out a deadly chemical he would be more criticized but he is trying to take the proper ways that he sees fit to make sure the people of America are safe and not endangered. I believe that the media needs to leave Biden alone and let him do his job I’m sure he will explain Tuesday of all the nonsense and the rhetoric of the media and the rumors that continue to roll around about Biden and classified documents and what exactly were. The media needs to quit I understand why Donald Trump hated the media only because the media complains too much praise too much enjoys putting out information that’s not true and they need to be stopped to appoint it’s monotonous.
So sad we are in the Caribbean God is good Amen
I would have done the same thing with china s balloon
Astonishing how people are still not standing by their own government when the country’s sovereignty is breached by a foreign adversary. Don’t they love America?! They can’t stop insulting the president even in the face of blatant foreign surveillance, bunch of unpatriotic traitors who can’t be loyal to their own country. They’d rather see it destroyed than stand by their own president. Astounding.
I promise you that the balloon that they shot down is not as much of a society Risk than the Republicans in congress
I wish they would play the republicans more about that ballon flying acrossed our country 3 Times b4 our hero Biden shot it down !
Calling BS yet again on republiCON hypocrisy thinking that we won’t remember absolutely everything during the last 50 years of their shoving their disingenuous crap/rhetoric down our throats while they steal our last pennies to enrich themselves – not even batting an eye while their constituents starve and sadly become homeles – all for them and their fat-cat, anti-democracy donors pure greed!
IF IT DID GET EARLIER.WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE !!!
17:44 let’s blame trump!
360p ?
Republicans are completely oblivious to the possible reality that the Chinese balloon just may have carried NBC weapons on board, and that shooting it down off the southern coast of Alaska could have put hundreds of thousands of people both in Canada and in the US at risk. I wish conseevatives would think before they speak.
Awesome broadcast. Always good to listen to at work.
THE PRESIDENT BIDEN AND HIS INTELLIGENCE GROUP DID GREAT JOB!
WHY SPECULATING NONE SENSE! AS GOP NAZIS. JUST FIGHTING BC THEY DID NOT EVE KNEW WHAT IS GOING ON! THAT US BS
He cannot run again. He is not up to the task. That is the reason the announcement has not come yet. He is hurting his own party by not stating that he is not going to run. Stop the speculation.
As someone in the United States Military, I can affirm that our military has it covered. There is a lot of things that regular American don't know, and they don't know our protocols or procedures, so all of this speculation and accusations against president Biden are for nothing. We let that balloon go over our country because we are also gathering intel!
😂😂😂 Fricken Republicans if that balloon was shut down, and one of their constituents was smashed they would’ve been screaming bloody murder with my pretty girls
