david is with us. the highlight of the president s announcement, three objects shot down since friday not tied to any enemy nations but private companies, bringing up the possibility that the administration may have over reacted after the chinese spy balloon in february. i gave the order to take down these three objects due to commercial air traffic and because we could not rule out the surveillance risk of sensitive facilities. white house officials and all the way to the president insist there will be changes in the works. whatever you want to call them, he said he ll share with congress the policy parameters when they re done but that ll remain classified so we don t give a quote, road map to our enemies to evade our defenses going forward. i expect to be speaking with president xi and i hope we ll get to the bottom of them. i make no apologies for taking down that balloon. you can see right here this exchange when a reporter asked him about chinese business
