yeah. good morning, everyone. mystery wrapped in a riddle. it s serious stuff. so the question is, what are they? where did it come from? three mysteries. mysterious i should say flying objects shot down in three days by u.s. fighter jets and now the white house is under mounting pressure to explain exactly what is going on. also, we re tracking a major international development as the death toll in turkey and syria is still climbing after last week s catastrophic earthquake. more than 36,000 people have now been confirmed dead. is the public outrage is growing against turkey s long time leader. is the backlash big enough to topple it from power before an upcoming election? plus, the super bowl last night the rush comes. throw it as far as his arm can take it. and the kansas city chiefs have won super bowl lvii! let s see if i can do my super bowl voice. the kansas it icity chiefs are r bowl champions. lots to talk about. we have everything there. we re going to b
lost to former trump administration official john gibbs. gibbs has been known to peddle 2020 election lies. in the arizona, house speaker rusty bowers who delivered emotional testimony to the january 6th committee, he is projected to lose his bid for a senate seat. the winner of that race claims, the devil himself meddled in the 2020 election. the devil. and in one of the largest rebukes to the supreme court decision on abortion ban in that state. nick valencia is in topeka, kansas, following the story this morning. nick, the voter turnout here really highlighted the importance of this issue that seems to have driven voters to the polls. and they voted no. that s right. good morning, jim. voter turnout turned out to be a huge factor here in kansas. a state where there is nearly twice as many registered republicans as democrats. but a huge swath of unaffiliated voters. that s what kansans in the state trying to protect abortion access were counting on. they worked tireless
remains to be seen. we have the technology that can read somebody s nametag in a fox hole. so, again, it s important that we re in high altitude. it s important that we re in that space. and we re going to use it to our advantage. what does it say to you that they call the first one a balloon as david said there. they re not referring to these as balloons. they re referring them to objects. so what are they doing? are they emanating pulsing signals? are they relaying communications? what is the point? we don t know what they are yet. i m sure the first balloon, for example, part of the reason why they allowed to track it because they really want to get inside of it. it was inoculated. it didn t harm the united states. it didn t do anything. they used, you know, made a science experiment out of chit is why they convince the add manition to track it for all that time. it seems that it is, david sanger, more transparent rather than more incidents. it s like the incidents you see,
yes, it check ed many boxes for the add manition to have basically the third most powerful politician in the united states on the ground here in taiwan meeting and engaging with the members of this government, giving them that legitimacy that you cannot can you not give someone better legitimacy than to have, you know, a well established and respected politician from the united states like nancy pelosi. you know, speaking with you and talking about your democratic system, you know, she was speaking with people, some of whom were, you know, meeting illegally when they were trying to form their political party, the dpp and now they re the leaders of this country. it is truly, you know, an astonishing story of a democracy that rose from a dictatorship. and nancy pelosi is here to send the message to taiwan that, you know, america has taiwan s back. now do people here in taiwan, does the government here actually believe that fully? do they believe that the united states would come in and
afghan bem. that s who band ond the country. let s talk about covid-19 now. president biden is talking to governors who block mask mandates. saying get out of the way if you can t help. and his add manition is going to take legal action if necessary. is this the fight republicans want to be having? no. i don t this is nowhere close to the fight. when 70% of americans including nearly a majority of republicans are for mandatory mask in schools. i don t think they want to have it fight. there is some element of the republican base that still feels like wearing a mask is a liberty and they don t want to protect themselves. not protecting other people is to me is unamerican. that s not how we were set up. but i think joe biden is right. i think he s reached the point in it time that there is an element probably 20 or 25% of the country, that s what i think it, is about 20% of the country,
