searching the area for degree. rachel: alexandria hoff is here this morning. the heavy payload of spy gear fell into 47 feet of water with a debris of seven miles long. fox news was the only network to capture it live. exclusive video shows the moment a f-22 raptor fired off a sidewinder heat-seeking missile destroying the chinese balloon. the takedown happened 2:39 p.m. six miles off the coast of south carolina. prior to that the surveillance balloon ventured across the country maneuvering over several critical military sites spotted by civilians along the way. potential danger to the civilians on the ground prompted the department of defense to hold offshooting it down earlier. president biden had instructed u.s. military commanders to take action earlier in the week but he said he left it up to them to

determine when it was safe to do so. president biden: and on wednesday when i was briefed the own the balloon i or thed the pentagon to shoot it down as soon as possible doubt h without doing any damage to anyone on the ground. they decided best time to do it in water 12-mile limit. >> reporter: airspace in sovereign territory extends 12 nautical heels off the coast. china maintained this was not obvious spy tool but a weather balloon that juan dered off course. they called it an attack unmanned civilian airship. the u.s. use of force is serious overreaction and violation of international action. china will safeguard the interests of the company concerned and reserves the right to make further responses if necessary. chinese ministry of defense that it reserves the right to take

necessary measures to deal with similar situations. guys. will: thank you, alexandria. pete: was dramatic video. happened to catch it. f-22 shot into the balloon. it deflated. looked like the pay hoed dropped, separated from the balloon immediately, rocketing into the ocean off south carolina coast. there are ships there now, the actual salvage vessel will not be there for days. which means it is sitting at the bottom of the ocean. we're not extracting anything. anti-climatic for me, for all the days it was allowed to hover over the united states. rachel: yeah. will: here is timeline we expect to happen next coupledays. navy and coast guard apparently set up a perimeter i guess the seven mile square radius potential debris that has fallen. even though six nautical miles off the coast of south carolina there, is only 47 feet of water at that location.

reports that is a fairly easy salvage effort once the ship gets there for coast guard, navy divers. the question what will they find? what survive as 60,000-foot? i think there are great questions what it matters because of what already has been transmitted to china. rachel: right. will: i don't know that it was successful in capturing images, transmitting them back to china. i don't know if we have sensor blocking technology. we've known about this for a while, joe biden apparently in the report he said shoot it down on wednesday. we've been tracking it for a while. we can ask the questions what should we have done? what did we do? did we block ability to transmit signals. it is electronic transmission. if they didn't china already has what it needed. rachel: they had seven days to

collect it. you hear the media, how strong joe biden is, the strength. we shot it down. i'm confused by a couple of things. pete, you're our resident veteran. pete: army. not in the air force. rachel: you were in the military. i'm concerned about the chain of command. that is the thing i'm really curious about. the military, the president around the military admit they have known about it for a while. we're only talking about it because a civilian actually spotted it. pete: yep. rachel: they're saying out of the white house we told the military to shoot it down but they didn't. they said no, we ought to wait because we need to put it over a place, an area where nothing will happen. i'm hearing that the wreckage mileage circumference around it was seven miles. you can find seven miles over montana or alaska nothing will happen. where is the chain of command? president says shoot it down and they wait that long? who is in charge.

pete: this same pentagon brought the disaster in afghanistan and spun it as the single greatest airlift in american history. the military job is execute the directives of the commander-in-chief. the chairman of the joint chief will give advice and counsel to the president. in this particular case, take joe biden at his word, shoot it down, clearly milley and austin said, sir there could be reasons why. is there rationale really safety? is that how risk-averse we've become at the top of the pentagon. rachel: it is scary. pete: it is scary where it was flying. could have shot it down will as you pointed out yesterday, much, much earlier when we had the opportunity this is a risk-averse pentagon with a track record of bad advice and bad execution. in this case if they were able to trans m.i.t., maybe we were able to block the signals, if they were able to transmit -- someone in the pentagon it is good able to watch the movement

of the balloon that gave us valuable intelligence. watch for the spin on the other side of this thing. if you're the commander-in-chief, you say shoot it down, shoot it down yesterday, over the safest place you can but i want it ex-cutted now. joe biden had prerogative to do that. rachel: same general told us he gives heads up to chinese military before he does anything risky. that is general milley. will: pop secret. spy balloon finally shot down after the they saw it for a week. pete: wonder how many balloons are out they're we're not herbert of. rachel: yes. pete: there is a lot that goes on in the national international security realm we're not aware of, rightfully so. in this case it was so blatant, so delayed it looked so feckless. will: we talked about this yesterday. this entire incident served a valuable lesson for the american

people it is literally eye-opening. congressman michael walls talked about the value of this is visceral, obvious, capable being seen by the naked eye. symbolic what with we see in ongoing base is of china. >> this damn thing should been shot down before it got to alaska. i want to know why. that has nothing to do with civilian casualties on the ground. but i do have to say, i want to put this out there, that i think the silver lining here is that this was a sputnik moment for most americans. look, we have been pounding the table about the spying that is going on in our universities, our research labs, in cyber but that is all behind the scenes. now this is for every american to see. i hopefully appreciate as they did with sputnik in 1957, that we are in a new cold war that the chinese communist party is seeking to replace us and we need to wake-up call as a

country. rachel: he makes such a great point. it is eye-opening for us to see. we know what the chinese are up to. instructive as citizens to see how the leaders respond. if this is how they're responding to such an obvious thing we could shoot down, send a message back, don't ever come over our airspace again. our citizens see this, you're sending a message on all levels to our allies as well. that you know, we're not going to put up with this stuff from china. it is instructive on a lot of levels. pete: i hope it's a sputnik moment. i don't think it will be. it will be mocked and dismissed that the chinese spun as weather balloon went off course, big mismiss nagging let's get to climate change, for people's foreign policy is unserious. the scariest part if china or iran, reckon this test run a trial balloon as you will, affix a dirty device, emp or magnetic

pulse, it is radical idea, nuclear detonation in the atmosphere, knocking out grids for hundreds of thousands of square miles which would put us in the dark ages, you don't think our enemies wouldn't want to do that over certain regions of the united states? i see academically what it is capable of. it would shut down our economy. some on the planet woe love to do that to the united states. let's hope it never get that point. will: i don't know if i'm optimistic or pessimistic on the effect of the american people. it is necessary for a full understanding of reality because you know we did it a week ago. there was united states air force general who is saying in preparing his troops, sending out a memo, be prepared by 2025. there are now reports that xi is telling his military command be prepared for 2027 on invasion of taiwan. rachel: we had have gordon chang on another china expert, listen,

i don't like to say it, we need to be prepared war could be coming our which with china. they're doing all things you would do if you were preparing for a war with us. let's also keep in mind, we have the state of the union coming up this coming week. i think this is going to be top of mind. and may have played into the decision to eventually shoot this down. pete: dan bongino had another take. maybe this wasn't a message from china at all. watch. >> these things have probably been flying overly our other space for a long time while they hue mill eight. you know why it is issue now, the china balloon story is such a big deal, because some eagle eyed citizen caught it. he just, they saw it. it is right there. they have been doing this forever this wasn't some -- do you get what i'm trying to get at here? the point of this, this wasn't a message by china because they don't even feel like they need to send a message. they think we're freakin'

idiots. pete: was going there, and part of it would be climate change. they're laughing all the way. rachel: yeah. will: coming up the morning throughout the program we'll continue to talk about it and cover it. following guests senator eric schmitt from missouri, congressman russell frye, commander kirk lippold, brett velicovich, gordon chang throughout the morning. we'll have a voter parnell hanging out for all four hours. a lot of fun to hear what they have to say, everything including our leadership on the international stage. rachel: all right. will: turn to a few additional headlines. start this new york city police officer fighting for his life after shot during apparent rocky. the officer joined his brother to buy a car in brooklyn that was arranged online. police say the suspect immediately tried to rob them when they arrived, shooting the off-duty officer before fleeing the scene. 26-year-old officer, father of two remains in critical

♪. will: back with a developing story. the isis leader killed by seal team six last week was responsible for the bombing in kabul that killed 13 u.s. troops in august of 2021 according to the pentagon. pete: those navy seals carrying out a precision cave in a remote cave complex in northern somalia killing sudani after a hour long firefight which 10 isis fighters were also killed. "new york times" that the isis leader has been on the u.s. official counterterrorism radar for 10 years before even the kabul bombing. rachel: alsudani. financed the ranch that carried out the suicide bombing that killed 200 people including 13 u.s. troops dead in afghanistan. pentagon said no seals were seriously hurt in the raid. will: i need a movie on this or book asap. pete: exactly. will: cave complex and 10 isis

including the leader taken out. pete: hour long firefight? will: i need to know -- rachel: what happened. that is relaxing movie for you to watch. will: it is, inspirational. >> for sure inspirational. pete: hosting a morning show on a couch. will: yes. pete: these guys two weeks ago when ever it happened you find out about later, dropped in a remote cave complex to get the guy responsible for killing 13 americans? that is what having a long memory looks like. i'm grateful that you do those things that you never hear about. will: pete, having spent time in afghanistan, i don't know how forward rate operating you might have get seeing cave complexes it defies imagination. just out of curious at this really quickly the cave complexes? the city within the mountain. pete: in afghanistan you have to remember they fought the soviets for decades as well. so there were cave complexes that existed because of that, even before that, the locals

would know about, that we would never know about, that would some are more developed, some less developed. this one in somalia i have no idea. will: right. pete: it could have been actual cave. fortification next to a cave. rachel: wait for the movie. wait for the movie. pete: to get intelligence to understand the intricacy of whatever you're going into. will: yes. pete: level of unknown there. we know what we're going to confront here. will: what we saw in afghanistan. what is it like in somalia. intel on this is what i'm fascinated by. rachel: yeah. will: highly doubtful the seals went into a cave complex not knowing the lay of the land. we have amazing technology with sensors. rachel: satellites, penetrating radar. pete: intel sources on the ground infiltrating these networks. 10 of them killed, none of ours? that is my kind of operation. good job, boys. rachel: all right. new york city mayor eric adams, we talked about how cold it was yesterday. it was miserable.

so what he decided to do was spend some time with the migrants in the shelter where they're staying and to show you know that he is solidarity with them. pete: man of the people. rachel: man of the people. exactly. here he is playing video games with the migrants. >> we are at the brooklyn omni terminal with a lot of men here. i'm joined by assemblyman gibbs and my man -- we name caught. we're going to stay the night with our brothers here. let them know we're here together. right now at the world cup, about to be here. [laughter]. rachel: there is about 44,000 migrants and counting come to new york city. mayor eric adams said it will cost about two billion dollars to provide them with shelter, with health care, with food,

with all the other services. he is asking for even more money from the federal government. i just think it is interesting, like, i don't mind that people play videogames if they want to. i just hate the image of young men playing videogames anyway. so it is like, come on, like, let me teach you how to be a basement boy american style, guys as you come to the united states. i don't know, i'm not sure this was the right -- pete: this is a mayor who support as sanctuary city, celebrating i legality. these are illegal shelters, let's be clear. we sanitize it everyone here saying everyone is migrant. rachel: they came here illegally. pete: came here illegally false pretenses oven in the case. fail to follow through on remainder of process. having convinced to go into shelters. many are open and closed.

many diehards don't want to leave encam papments. rachel: or hotels. pete: if you're illegal, food enough here, i will sleep here from 11:00 p.m. to nine a.m., which was the extent of the stay. rachel: more interesting if eric adams slept with the american homeless veterans outside on the streets where some of them are. by the way a lot of these shelters, homeless americans have said, our homeless shelter isn't as good as these shelters for, as pete points out correctly illegals come. will: not call of duty. >> playing soccer. soccer thing? will: fifa. this is all happening while by the way border pa tree is scheduled to appear before congress this week and directly testify on capitol hill about the crisis. rodney scott is former border patrol chief. he says it should be a big presence before congress. >> i really hope america pays attention. the number thing that will come out of these hearings is

transparency. we saw last week dhs pushed back having chiefs testify but they finally gave in and we're going to have at least two. that is just the beginning. those two will put their career on the line now to tell the truth. because it will go against the secretary. we really need to bring in all 20 sector chiefs. you have the power of the unity of them all speaking with one voice. i think america is going to see that we have given complete control of our border to the cartels. mass migration is just covered to bring in all the other threats, narcotics, criminals, terrorists everything that comes in the second wave. rachel: such a grate point he is bringing up which is that secretary mayorkas has muzzled border patrol chiefs. frankly the entire force. they to not want them to talk to press. they do not want them to do hearings. republicans in control. if you any way threaten guys from coming in, threaten them to come in we'll put a subpoena, we'll make this compulsory.

pete: it will take a lot of courage for the border patrol chiefs to stand up to speak teeth. what he says is like, counter to the narrative they will be let go. will: 2022 midterms will be fly in the pointment rebutting what i'm about to say, to think this is only going on, only place american public becomes aware of it, midterms, like a place on fox news channel. literally as we all talked about not being covered amidst historic numbers per. we saw i think, we now with mitt romney's loss in 2012, donald trump's win in 2016 how important this issue is to voters. new "fox news poll," reiterates that. it shows 65% of voters say they are very or extremely concerned about border security. it feels like an issue that is

going, if past is prologue any history will swing elections possibly in 2024. pete: with 22 feeling like you acknowledge the glitch in that recognition. like it is worse than ever but. rachel: kevin mccarthy, the new speaker of the house put out a very interesting tweet tying our first topic and this topic together saying you know, he can't, joe biden can't protect our borders or our skies. i think that's again something that is coming to light in a way that you can't ignore with the balloon. so, we're going to be talking to a panel of voters as will mentioned live on the set all morning, every hour the ahead of joe biden's state of the union address. so those will be really interesting. pete: they're drinking all of our coffee in the green room. going to say hello. rachel: we will. pete: don't drink it all.

will: back to the top story, u.s. military shootings down a chinese balloon over the atlantic. this morning we're watching the recovery efforts. china says it has a right to respond. pete: remember when parents were labeled domestic parents? republicans are getting to the bottom of that. two parents join us ♪ lomita feed is 101 years old. when covid hit, we had some challenges. i heard about the payroll tax refund that allowed us to keep the people that have been here taking care of us. learn more at getrefunds.com. after years of chasing the big idaho potato truck... i finally caught it. oh man. always look for the grown in idaho seal.

rachel: fox news alert. fox news cameras capturing a moment a u.s. military jet shoots down a chinese spy balloon off the coast of south carolina. the operation is underway to recover its surveillance debris. here to react, victoria coats, heritage foundation. thanks for joining us. give your thoughts how this was handled. >> good morning, rachel.

good to be with you. this is shocking couple days of america. i think that is a good thing. we have to wake up to the dramatic threat china is posing to us. they would brazenly send a gigantic surveillance balloon across at alaska, across the entire continental u.s., across the country, claim they are in their right boundaries to invade our sovereignty this way. all-americans need to realize this is a deadly threat. rachel: victoria, you worked under former president trump, how would this have been handled differently based on your experience in the administration. >> in my experience it wouldn't have happened at all. i'm old enough to remember president trump had president xi in mar-a-lago april 20177. when he took the military action against assad. he did that deliberately to demonstrate president xi when provoked he would take serious action. you saw over the next three

years xi did not take provocative action against president trump. there is also no doubt in my mind had this sort of thing penetrated us air space over alaska the president would have given the order to terminate it immediately. rachel: talk to you about another topic, climate, energy policy here in america. this, what i believe is a premature transition over to clean energy as they call it. and how it is making us more dependent on china. i know that is something that you have been talking about. specifically he let's talk about john kerry and secret documents. he made some negotiations with the chinese. now, representative comer is saying we want to see those documents. he hasn't given them in the past. what are your thoughts on this? >> well, i think these topics are interrelated, rachel. rachel: yes. >> would not surprise me there is some sort of agreement for china to be able to do weather

monitoring, mutually gather data to compare it. secretary blinken disturbingly raised remarks when he announced postponement of the trip. how important we collaborate with china on science. we've seen pretty evil fruits of that over last couple years. maybe that is not such a super idea. energy, climate, in particular we're doing dramatic disservice to our national security. we're and energy superpower. china is energy vulnerable. they're biggest polluter on the planet. they're not a partner on climate. i'm worried we're bargaining our national security away, john kerry in his way, that the climate and china will not honor and belching emissions into the atmosphere. it's a fantasy and it has to happen. rem comer is doing the lord's work by going after it. rachel: absolutely. makes no sense why we would move

in the direction. we are a superpower when it comes to energy. why we would want to do things make us more dependent on china who does not as you mention want the best for america is just mind-blowing. we need to get to the bottom why these deals are being made. who is getting rich off of them by the way? whose family members are benefiting from the crazy deals. victoria, great talking to you this morning. thanks for joining us. >> thank you, rachel. have a great day. >> got it. coming up potential medical break-through to prevent fentanyl deaths in america but our next guest says a lot remains to be seen about its actual effectiveness. democrats changing up the presidential primary calendar. the new line up still ahead. ♪

with fentanyl overdose? >> all right. excellent question of course. a vaccine is something that's injected into the body or taken by the body, and what it does, it stimulates the immune system to create an anti-body to block something. you're used to hearing about vaccines come to infections. give someone a vaccine, develop anti-bodies to block the infection. in this case a vaccine is given, you get anti-bodies that block the negative effects 6 fentanyl. will: it is, a vaccine as you described is prophylactic, preventive, from giving virus or negative effect might be is that a fair characterization? >> that is a fair characterization. in the case of fentanyl, keep the fentanyl cannot cross into the brain. it means the person cannot get high, motivated with the

fentanyl. more importantly the fentanyl is not able to repress the respiratory center. that stops them breathing. that is what is causing a 110,000 overdose deaths this year. will: i appreciate that. it is a synthetic open crowd. operates like heroin, it suppresses the brain's ability say breathe, people suffocate to death. let me put this up on the screen. 73,000 deaths to the synthetic opioids like fentanyl in 2022. here comes my cures are at this when it comes to the vaccine, i'm not trying to be a pessimistic, it's a great break through, it is mistaken that the deaths are overdoses, people knowing taking something too much of it. many people think they are taking something else with the existents of fentanyl. how would have a vaccine help the general population? we're not going to take thiss

right? >> you're right, unintentional overdoses they're still overdoses. fentanyl takes two milligrams for it to be lethal. one tent of the weight of a single grain of rice. people don't take fentanyl, cocaine, smoke marijuana or a percocet. they may be laced with fentanyl. if you take drugs, even not fentanyl, you prevent the vaccine being laced unintentionally with fentanyl. it will prevent overdose deaths. it can help to prevent the addiction, if it works in humans. it has only been used in rats and mice right now, animal studies. will: really quickly to clarify. what is seems like likely in practical way to help is drug abusers want to stop abuses drugs. but it doesn't help the college kid who buys adderall on line and gets killed because it has fentanyl in it?

because that person doesn't think to take a vaccine to stop the effects of fentanyl. >> right. depending on the success of the study in humans, anyone taking a drug take the fentanyl vaccine. it is premature to say. beyond vaccine we have things like testing kids you can tested a der all if it has fentanyl. people don't know about fentanyl test strips. naloxone anna don't to get at that nil, if you get a overdose you can take something. things that are here now. vaccine -- will: thank you for the information, dr.. appreciate you being with us this morning. highly enlightening. >> my pleasure. will: fight, over to you. pete: very interesting, thanks will. turning to couple additional headlines. the democrat national committee voting to upend its press contendings nominating calendar at the behest of that guy. fist primary in the 2024
