now, i can tell you on sunday, several vessels, large and small, were out on the water presumably for this operation which is expected to take days. we're told recovery efforts began not long after the balloon was shot down by f-22 fighter jet. debris went crash into the atlantic. the suspected spy balloon originated in china and floated for at least a week through the continental u.s. with a brief conversation into canada before it eventually ended up off the coast of south carolina. the balloon passed over at least five sensitive u.s. military sites including mall strom air force base in montana home to one of the nation's three nuclear missile silos. chinese spy balloon one flew over portions of texas and florida while president trump was in office. a senior biden administration telling fox news in a statement,

quotes. rc government surveillance balloons transit the continental u.s. briefly at least three times during the prior administration. they went undetected. on sunday, former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe said said those claims are false. >> well, it's not true. i can refuted it. former secretary of defense mark esper refuted it yesterday. former secretary of state and cia director mike pompeo has refuted it. every time something goes wrong in the biden administration, there is one of two responses, they either find a way to blame the trump administration or they try and find a way the trump administration did it, too. it didn't. you would have heard about it before. >> yeah. senate majority leader chuck schumer says the gang of eight will be briefed on this matter in the coming days. meantime, president biden is defending his decision to wait so long to shoot that suspected spy balloon down. he says that he gave the

pentagon authorization on wednesday to shoot it down. when it was safe they decided to do it saturday when it was over water, guys. >> brian: all right. charles. thanks. look forward to see what they pull up over the next few hours. a couple of things. when you have the people montana saying shoot it down over montana. and then you have this other place even north dakota is wide open. north dakota, these are sparse populated areas. i don't understand why we didn't look down and say 7-mile debris field. i'm pretty sure search miles of open field to take it down. would there be a way of doing that and not allowing them see every military installation transversing the country and take them six miles off the coast? >> ainsley: i saw a map on "fox & friends first" where it traveled over which states and which military installations were down below. the u.s. military officials say balloon was not, according to them, transmitting any intel back to china while did was over the united states but mike

pompeo says we should have shot it down a handful of days earlier and china probably got all the collection that they needed in those first few days. >> pete: that graphic right there is over all of our nuclear icbm sites, b 2 bomber, two big portions of the nuclear triad. the story here this morning is, they kick into gear that somehow blame or compare to trump. when part of that report we all reacted to it. it happened three times under trump. but it was undetected. and now it's been detected? and so. >> brian: years later. >> ainsley: you didn't feel like you should tell the president. >> pete: or you didn't know because you were running around looking at does united states and didn't look at the skies and now looked back at the tape there were three of them. now that it happened under trump it is okay under biden because we didn't know it happened under trump. unnamed senior biden official it happened to them but it was

undetected. >> ainsley: balloon incidents were logged under the trump administration butner reported to the chair of the joint chiefs. never reported to the defense secretary or president trump because they were, quote: relatively minor territorial incursions. minor. >> pete: minor. >> brian: they have a huge problem if it's not going up the chain of command to the president. at the very least you would think the chief of staff would get an alert. i want to tell you there has been three balloons detected we don't want to tell the with the, why? was he golfing? >> ainsley: president trump said if that had happened i would have shot it down. >> brian: the thing is i have a problem with everything about it. what diewmg it was undetected and then you tell me it was detected. what do you mean you didn't tell the president and it happened three times? first three times under the trump administration. such pushback they go well, it happened, we walked it back. it happened, we just didn't tell him which is terrible. and number three. robert o'brien, i texted robert o'brien and mike pompeo last night they said absolutely

didn't happen. they went up and down the chain it didn't happen. john bolton who hates the president "never happened." why they wanted to blame president trump it i don't get. blaming the prior administration doesn't work. mark milley evidently and secretary of defense told him on afghanistan don't pull out it's going to be a disaster. that's what they testified. he said blow this thing up on wednesday, the president of the united states,and the military goes no, not going. to say. >> ainsley: mark milley said this. >> brian: biden said i told them to blow it up wednesday. they blow it up saturday. wait, the president said to take it out. find a way to take it out, the same way you found to take us out of afghanistan, in the worst military operation in the history of the nation, but, again, now you say i'm pushing back on the president when it comes to a chinese balloon? would we have ever known about it had the press in billings, montana not wrote about it? we would have had the meeting with the secretary of defense.

no harm, no foul. but it was about us finding out about it is the key. we never heard -- we still barely heard from the president. just shouting through a chopper. >> pete: exactly right. i think it comes down to risk aversion. stupid risk aversion inside the pentagon. you can figure it out. there is ways to disable a balloon so it floats down or the hall detached do it in. >> brian: so much wide open space. >> ainsley: what it's something more serious than a balloon. what if it is not gathering intel. >> pete: this is a trial balloon. this is china saying what can we get away with what if a device was affixed to a balloon. whole other story. >> ainsley: we are going to talk about the state of the union coming up. >> brian: majority of democrats don't want him running again in 2024. how the white house is already playing defense ahead of his address. >> ainsley: plus, beyonce making history at the grammys. the biggest moments and other winners taking home top winners

the thought of him losing head to head by donald trump by four points according to another poll. so donald trump with investigation after investigation is still leading. >> ainsley: it's all about timing. when donald trump won. that's what the country wanted at the time. they wanted his policies. when joe biden won they wanted a change. they wanted someone who was more moderate. we found out after he was elected he is not moderate at all. he always votes with the progressives or become more progressive since he has been in power. and he is getting on up there. he is older. and he is not as exciting and he doesn't represent and then we saw what happened. >> brian: very exciting. that prompter goes down. >> pete: that's the only exciting. off the cuff. >> ainsley: what is the country ready for in the next lexington. two more years. some of candidates will probably start putting their names in the hat probably by this summer. >> pete: one of those names floated pete buttigieg. right now is he trying to defend the administration and their

accomplishment. heres is the. >> brian: transportation secretaries. transportation has never been worse in country. >> pete: exactly right. here he is on nbc. >> we hear the president wants message. basically that the economy is back on track. how do you make that case when so many americans don't feel it. >> make that case by pointing to the relates and recognizing that the story won't tell itself. what we are seeing is extraordinary. record job creation as the president has pointed out. more creativitied in two years on his watch than four years on any other president's watch. and usually, whether you have unemployment go down like this you have inflation go up. right now inflation is going down as well. >> brian: you go out and look at the nbc poll. only 36% are happy with this economy. only 40% are happy with the foreign policy. the war in ukraine, same thing 40%. so even though the numbers are staggeringly good 517,000 jobs. unemployment 5.6%. the numbers overwhelmingly are not good.

these are from democrats. one was a democrats how is the country going should biden run again and his polls are terrible. >> ainsley: steve has an article in the "new york post" six lies that biden is going to try to talk about tomorrow. the first one is that biden has reduced the budget deficit by 1.4 trillion. he says that is just false. the national debt has gone up 4.2 trillion since he has taken office. >> pete: inherited a economy in free fall he says inflation was high. do you know what the theme is. >> brian: at the time it was not in free fall. steve. >> pete: the economy was in the in free fall at all we were dealing with covid. >> ainsley: first half our economy soared 20%. >> pete: inflation, gas prices. at record lows then they went skyrocketed. >> ainsley: when donald trump took office it was 2.59. in july of 2022, 5.4. . .5.0 # 4. >> pete: telling somebody 200 pounds surged to 800 pounds

congratulations you now way 600 pounds you lost 200 pounds. that's the case they're making. >> ainsley: such a good example. >> brian: number one issue is inflation. if you feel as though you made the strongest economy ever made all these time of remarks. it's not resonating. the numbers are not transferring to down to the american people when you had inflation 9% and cut it down to 6%. you should not be celebrating. >> ainsley: according to this article the average inflation rated trump 2%. during the summer of 2022 under biden it rose to 9%. highest in 40 years. >> pete: i would like to see him attempt to point to number 5 of stephen moore's article. >> ainsley: talks about immigration. >> pete: going to get up there and talk about secure the border. >> brian: he is not going to talk about the border. >> ainsley: the 56th grammy awards hosted by trevor noah. >> brian: making history during the los angeles ceremony.

airport itself, i could see any traffic coming in but, instead, as i was gathering my things i spotted the circle in the sky. and i knew it was something kind of out of place. it looked like just a tiny moon in the sky. and i didn't know what it was. >> brian: you called your buddy. chase, you called larry. rye was larry the right choice? larry, you have an aviation background and you are a recover from for the gazette, right? >> yes. yeah, that's right. >> brian: so what did you do? >> well, so i, you know, got out of my car and started taking pictures of it. chase told me where it was. so i had some long tell photo lens with me. i got out of the car and started taking pictures of it. and at that point, you know, we really didn't connect august that stuff. i mean, i knew that there was something unusual going on. but we didn't make -- we didn't

know that it was a chinese balloon at that point, obviously. >> brian: you wanted to go ahead and put that into the paper. did you contact any other outlets or the outlets see this and start reporting this? >> the other outlets saw it and started reporting it. but, first, you know, i didn't get verification of what it was until the next afternoon, actually. i put together all the pictures that i had taken, the con trails in the sky. foreflight which showed where there were air tankers operating over the bear tooth mountains, and i put all those things together and started sending them to the faa and the governor's office. and they eventually put knee in touch with norad. >> brian: norad con 23eur7b8d this was a balloon. did they tell you it was a chinese balloon? >> no. they told me that the only thing

i i got was they were crafting a response. >> brian: we know about montana wide open spaces, what a great state. you also know there is hundreds of missiles, nuclear missile silos there. if people say they blew it up they might hurt people on the ground. from what you know in a seven mile area, is it possible to take that down and not hit people on the ground in the wide open distances of billings or your state? >> i think it would be possible. i mean, billings is the most pop plus city, of course. and even with all the open space, there's always a danger that you are going to hit something. but i think there was definitely an opportunity to bring it down and, honestly, i mean, if it had worked the way that it should have, i should have never seen this thing to begin with, because it should have been brought down the moment it was spotted over the ocean.

at the state's liberal arts policy one of them called the new college of florida, which is located in sarasota. in a new op-ed, our next guest says desantis is right to reform these universities. new college of florida board of trustees member mark borrow line joins us now. mark, thanks very much. i read your op-ed. i love this approach. so, because this is a public university, the governor has the prerogative to nominate new trustees. you can elect a new president close to the governor and change these policies. is this unique power to florida or is this something other states could do as well? >> well, other states could do it. we have had a phenomenon in america for decades now. it's curious and exasperating phenomena where we have red states with popular conservative governors. and, yet, in the middle of these states, we have public universities, operating hard, left programs. and i don't mean sort of centrist liberal programs. i mean programs such as schools

of education that have put identity politics into overdrive and we have many, many conservative voters. republican voters across the country or in these red states are so frustrated. why can't we do anything about this? why can't we have the public university be a little more representative of the state and the fact is that a lot of republican governors have simply -- have simply dropped the ball on this. >> pete: why? is it because of the controversy the university will reject it you? are in a fight right now by the way if you read this op-ed. academics are in an uproar. you are simply saying we want balance at this university and the governor has the prerogative to set the policies at the universities publicly funded. >> i think a lot of supporters of the business committee shy away from cultural and education issues. that can be very controversial. and the media get very reactive about any effort to get into the
