what was going on, what the response was going to be. and, look, china s one of our biggest adversaries, so to see this, you know, when people look up in the sky and i was driving around earlier, people were pulled over on the side of the road, they were pulling out their camera phones. a lot of intrigue about this. you know, this is an interesting, you know, interesting time, but a lot of people have questions about this. and for me, i m incredibly concerned about where, you know, where this was headed and why it took so long to address. mike: a sense of relief as a south carolina congressman that this has been successfully shot down, apparently over the atlantic ocean? i think so, and i m super proud of the men and women at south carolina s shaw air force base for doing so. i think that shows our resolve and that we re able to take any task. it was really interesting to the watch this spy balloon go over my house and to see fighter planes really circling this balloon as i

Flight into i am resting, i am digesting, i am detoxing, i am repairing. i came with a really bad headache, pretty achy and i was blown away by how i feel now. it s like night and day. the 40th annual albuquerque balloon fiesta is under way right now. thousands of people flock to see these hot air balloons, look at that. that is gorgeous. and i don t know why, somebody said there s a little disappointment in this yesterday. but apparently that was mother nature, low clouds, fog forced some of the balloons, in fact a lot of them apparently, to stay on the ground. several of the balloonist were able to launch before the fog set in. the favorite viewing time for the balloon launches and are at dawn and at night, because
