president biden downplayed that balloon s significance in an interview this week saying the flight was, quote, not a major breach. let s bring in retired four-star general jack keane, chairman of the institute for the study of war and a fox news senior strategic analyst. general, good to see you. thanks for coming in. so do you think the administration did the right thing here shooting down this latest object so quickly after it had waited a long time to shoot down the balloon? no, yeah, absolutely. it s the right call. i mean, it s interesting what we don t know, as you indicated, we need a lot of answers. what s very revealing though and concerning is that this we did not pick this up before it entered u.s. air space which is very similar to the historical record we were able to put together after the spy balloon transversed the entire swath of united states. we went back and looked at what s the history of chinese fleet balloons, and we found several of them that had, in
they are better off financially than they were when he took office two years ago. let s bring in former clinton pollster mark penn. he is chairman of the harris poll and ceo and chairman of stagwell. so, mark, you wrote this week that you think the president s state of the union was a big gamble. how so? well, it was a big gamble in the sense that it really didn t tackle the primary problems that were on people s minds. what about this inflation that s raging and ache thing away spending power from people and taking away spending power? what about the crisis at the border, and what about the crime in inner cities? he really side accept thed the major sidestepped the major issues and gave a speech that ultimately was was designed to recapture or hold on to moderate democratic voters who don t think he s doing a good job as president but like the party. paul: so i, it struck me that, and some others, that there was a fair bit of rhetoric and some
the twitter employee responded, well, those tweets were nonconsensual, nude images of hunter biden. so i think that s worth keeping many mind. i don t eni have the job envy the job these platforms having, trying to manage the tweets being posted every day. paul: khan, this by now dan, this by now and given what we ve learned at hearings and learned in the twitter files, is there any doubt that twitter s decision to essentially censor the new york post story on hunter biden s laptop and its allegations that tony bobulinski was outrageous and wrong? no, i don t think there s the any doubt about that at all, paul. they admitted they did it, and they admitted they should not have cone it have done it and basically apologized for doing it, but the damage was cone. and the mainstream media, by and large, gave no yes kens whatsoever to that credence whatsoever to that story back in
transversed the entire swath of united states. we went back and looked at what s the history of chinese fleet balloons, and we found several of them that had, indeed, had penetrated u.s. air space, i think one during the biden administration, three during the trump administration. put this together, we have a serious issue here in terms of surveillance, radar systems, satellites picking up devices that are penetrating our air space. that is an area of major concern. with this recent activity, we obviously don t know what the object is concern. paul: right. it looks like the f-35 pilot who got close to it thought it looked more like a cylinder, therefore, it s likely not a drone that can fly at that altitude, at least we have them that can fly actually higher than that also tuesday. and the f-22 pilot that shot it down thought it sort of shattered when he hit it. so we re not going to get all the facts in terms of who owns it, what is the mission and
don t take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don t take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you ve had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. entrust you heart to entresto. paul: president biden delivered his second state of the union address tuesday night laying out his agenda for the next two years and maybe beyond. it was a speech seen by many as a preview of his likely re-election campaign as he repeated the mantra let s finish the job. but a new abc news/washington post poll shows even most democrats don t want the president the run again in 2024 with 58% saying they prefer a different nominee. while just 16% of americans say
