staff for george w. bush and a fox news contributor. karl, great to see you. you know, history and events have a way of getting in the way of things like the state of the union. karine jean-pierre said she expects him to address this. if he didn t, that would be a huge headline, right, karl? yeah, absolutely. there s not a lot of good that he can do except to reiterate that he ordered it to be shot down. ordinary people say why didn t we shoot it down over alaska, canada. there s fewer people in alaska than in the city of austin, texas and the state of alaska is bigger than the state of texas. we couldn t we have shot it down there or over international waters or over the thinly populated northern canada. the administration is never going to have a satisfactory answer to people asking that question. martha: there s questions that go along that chain.
