course, which is, again, why we are monitoring it. jesse: the comey spy balloon airspace and fingers around a joystick and flying it towards major cities but we are not shooting it down. you said this is violating our airspace so why not take it down? yeah, so, you know, clearly as we assess options and considering the size of the pay load on this, looking at the potential for debris and the impact on civilians on the ground or property damage, and so out of an abundance of caution, cognizant of the potential impact to civilians on the ground from a debris field right now we are going to continue to monitor and review options. biden was against the bin laden raid and now he is against the balloon pop. he missed his shot over montana. what s the worst it can happen it hits a guy s barn? cut them a check like you did with covid. now it s heading into illinois? do you think it s going to last over chicago past midnight couple strays and that thing is in lake michigan. ch
Needle tomorrow. peter is the senior editor of 1945.com and coferls chinese military hardware and technology. what exactly is in this damn balloon? honestly, jesse, if this was a russian balloon and the russians told us it was a weather balloon. i believe it was a spy believe since the chinese are telling us it s a weather balloon i m almost thinking weather balloon double bluff from china. i think the fact that they are talking to so much about it today that it s leading newscasts that it s on every website. china is really milking this. they are convincing american people we need to look to the skies like it s 1950 s sci-fi flying saucer movie, kind of terrifying us here. i honestly for all i know it could be a leftover balloon from last week s chinese new year. [laughter]
Protect the capitol because we were afraid nancy pelosi wasn t going to like the optics. what else are we going to find out about that crazy day? ? jesse: fox news alert. the chinese spy balloon has now hidden itself under the cover of night. and has evaded the lens of fox news cameras. primetime is hearing it may be headed toward lori lightfoot s chicago but it better watch out. jussie smollett told us that s maga country. coming up, democrats policies are putting all of us in danger. (burke) deep-sea driving, i see. (customer) something like that. (burke) well, here s something else: with your farmer s policy perk, new car replacement, you can get a new one. (customer) that is something else. (burke) get a whole lot of something with farmers policy perks. we are farmers. bum-pa-dum, bum-bum-bum-bum
If his military generals came in and said don t shoot it down he should have said go to the backyard and take off your rank. he is the commander-in-chief. he should have shot it down. he should have protected u.s. interest he didn t do it. jesse: can he overrule the generals, he is the commander-in-chief. you are saying the debris line is bogus because it floats down and lands and not going to blow into smithereens and take out a small town. no. i don t believe that at all that information is coming from the same people that said kyiv, ukraine was going to fall within three days. that s not true. we have shown before when we have tried to shoot down a balloon that they deflate slowly. so take it out, get the sensor package. hand it to secretary blinken. have him go back over to china. hand it to president xi and say here s your package back. thank you very much, don t ever do it again. there is nothing in that package right now because it s all transmitted back. so there s nothing
But i also don t think we should be fearing this is invasion of the balloon people. jesse: i like knocking things out of the sky. i think every red blooded american does. i don t like the idea of someone watching me or listening to my phone calls. ckaboom. spy balloon, weather balloon. whatever you call it. i m calling it good knight. thank you so much, peter. thank you very much. jesse: also here with me tonight is general keith kellogg. do you have that type of attitude well, you know what? they are just messing with us. this is psychological warfare? no, i don t, jesse and thanks for having me. look, this balloon has a package on it. the support package underneath it with sensors is as big as a fire truck. itit s a huge balloon and suckig up information. the beauty of a balloon and by the way balloons have been used in warfare since the 1800s it loiters and can sit for a long time. picking up signals, picking up communications and it s going
