We won t give it back to them. we ll study what was on that balloon. if it s garbage, we wouldn t give it back to them, right? if there is nothing usable. let me ask you, you know the pentagon says three chinese spy balloons drifted over the u.s. but apparently, they didn t know that until the biden administration. cnn obtained a u.s. military intelligence report from april last year that documents one incident in 2019 when the balloon quote drifted past high hydroxyc h hawaii and across florida. the first question i have is how was the pentagon or whomever able to go back and figure out that during the trump administration these three balloons happened? do you have any idea? i have a classified briefing i ll bring up the issues. i think this probably had happened before and for whatever reason, when i talked to higher level officials, like the national security advisor for instance, it was not communicated properly but we had
In a massive military parade on that country s military foundation day where he vowed to continue to grow the nuclear forces at the fastest possible speed. it s happening as there s another significant event on the horizon, u.s. military intelligence has been watching a test site that was shuddered for five years. i was there when they blew up the tunnel entrances and said it could never be repaired. guess what in t, they are repai it. they are believing a nuclear test will happen this month. it will be the seventh nuclear test. as you say, troublely implications there. great to get your insights on this story. thanks so. well, france s presidential inauguration will get under way. and we will look at the challenges that emmanuel macron will face for the second term.
