., tucker now, why they didn t takenoting the shot, why they didn t take it down. hard to know. tucker, but it s worth noting, back in 2001, the chinese forced down an american spy plane on hainan island, kidnaped us airmen, airwomen, for a number of days and stole a bunch of surveillance assets off that plane. t now, that was almost twos decades ago. so you almost answered my question. do you think if the american pentagon floated a spy balloon over chinese missile bases, : yo that chairman g. would say, you know, i m jusinkt i m not really sure how to respond. maybe we should justa u.s. let t keep floating? yeah, look, i think that s highly unlikely. i mean, you saw nancy pelosi? went to taiwan just a few m months back and kevin mccarthy is going to taiwan shortly. and the chinese were taiwanese threatening to shoot down nancy pelosi s plane. so, you know, it spe clear tha e the chines ae would take actionw it s surprising that we re yw not wantan to be as fair as youe can in s
so ukraine needs us to continue to do a number of things. to supply intelligence, particularly from the us surveillance assets in space. it needs us to look after the refugees and displaced people so the country can focus on the fight without worrying about the families that have left and it needs massive support of material and money in order to equip the military. and the challenge there in the time they have available is it s no good trying to introduce anything new and complicated, because they couldn t work it or maintain it. what we have to do is find supplies of stuff they re used to using and some of those stock piles in the west will now be getting depleted and industry won t replace it that quickly. the fear of escalation has been constraining nato, what is your view of that. that s right, this is a war between russia and ukraine and a confrontation between nato and russia. if the west were to act in a way that gave vladimir putin the excuse to expand the war to the rest of n
al-baghdadi, surveillance assets were overhead watching him go to school and watching him wake up and there s targeted officers and analysts that are essentially trying to break down al-baghdadi s pattern and figure out what locations he s going to and provide the president with confidence that who they are staring at is, in fact, baghdadi and very meticulous work, the fact that they were able to watch him in 2 weeks, that was pretty incredible, that takes tactical chances, now they can use that information. knowing where he s going to go, some of the bio, we know where he was born, allegedly from reports that are coming in, we know that he had been to this specific area before.
extraordinarily important piece of evidence supporting my integrity, the integrity of the f.b.i. and our lack of bias. bill: he expect to hear from goodlatte and nadler. gowdy and them cummings and expect an opening statement from strzok that we ve seen with prepared remarks. we have our a-team here. i want to bring in marie harf, morgan ortagus, and james freeman. to each of you, james, i will begin with you. what is your expectation for today? i think all americans are hoping to finally hear the collusion case. we haven t heard the evidence yet and if he is saying look, this was totally legitimate and ignore all my texts, which seem to show an extreme bias against the president, there was really a justification for this what many people consider outrageous use of surveillance assets in a political campaign.
agents, et cetera, engineers, surveillance assets, et cetera. as a general statement, we do not want the u.s. armed forces, which are structured and trained, to destroy enemy units, to avert to a law enforcement mission. we absolutely don t want them collecting evidence or detaining people. we don t want them with an armed presence on the border. so by the way, there s no money in the department of defense budget to do significant enhancements of the border. we do have a problem. 300,000 people apprehended illegally crossing the border. we need law enforcement institutions of the size and funding to deal with this issue. barry mccaffrey, courtney kube, kristen welker, thank you all. markets have been bouncing around on wall street earlier,
