shutdown s. so why has andrew weingarten filed? 34 investigative authors wrote this 350-page report, lessons from the covid war. authors said they took the covid into their own hands because the biden administration never conducted a game plan for the next pandemic. i think really the biggest criticism you can make is they never really did the after-direction report that we have had to do. so we ve had to shoulder that burden, and we ve done it. in interviews today, that man, co-author, professor, phillip belacore say the greatest piece they can offer is to center on preparedness and sharing. the biggest mistakes of the pandemic were a failure to warn the public in time, a failure to release emergency funds in time and a failure to make, and it needs to be better situational awareness. what else the threat and how do we share that early? they felt liberated because they were not bound by a certain political party. for example, they criticized the trump administration s

the white house from camp david today saying he wanted to shoot down the balloon at the first available opportunity and that, in his view, is exactly what the pentagon did. watch it come over into the united states from canada. i told them to shoot it down as soon as it was appropriate. they concluded we should not shoot it down over land, was not a serious threat and we should wait until it got across the water. that s, of course, what happened saturday afternoon. a usf-22 fighter firing a single sidewinder missile at the chinese balloon bringing it down just off the coast of south carolina, and the president said the chinese were well aware of what was coming. we made it clear to china what we were going to do. reporter: but critics, many of them republican, question the wisdom of waiting to shoot down the balloon until after it had flown right across the united states and over several sensitive u.s. military sites. look, i m not saying detonate this thing over a
