spaces. roam big wild and discover more. come to think of it. more wildlife in alaska making it the best kind of unbelievable. >> jesse: alaska is the perfect place to hunt and hike, ski, kayak or pop a chinese balloon. but, by now we all know that's not what happened. joe biden let the spy balloon float around north america for a whole week before a civilian spotted it in montana. so why is joe so gun shy? he didn't shoot it down in alaska where there is one person per square mile or in montana where there are more cows than people. biden let it go for 4500 miles. from the pacific to the atlantic, zigzagging in between our military bases and nuke site. soaking up our secrets like a sponge. and when joe finally popped it over the ocean. the debris spread just for about seven miles. you're saying biden couldn't find a 7-mile stretch in alaska

or montana or anywhere else in the world's third largest country to take it down? we can put a tomahawk missile through a window in jill la bad. you are saying we don't have the tech to bring down a balloon where we want it. >> we have no control where the piece goes? we have a missile defense system that can intercept russian missiles mid-air in outer space before they land here. something tells me there is more to this story. president biden claims he wanted to shoot it down in montana but the world's most powerful man was overruled. >> made it clear to china what we are going to do. they understand our position. we are not going to back off. we did the right thing. >> you have known about the balloon program for some time. has it always been your view to shoot down a chinese spy balloon or was it only because it became public? >> no it was always my position. once it came over the united states from canada i told they

wanted to shut it down. they concluded we should not shoot it down was not a serious threat and we should wait until it goes across the water. >> jesse: how can you overrule the commander-in-chief general should shoot down that balloon. >> we should wait. >> no problem, i'm going to delaware where i will be experiencing another consensual search. he's the guy that was elected to make this call and somebody told him no and he listened? what's going on here? the white house says it was all part of the plan. we just let china spy on us so we can spy on the balloon. >> the president through the national security adviser jake sullivan directed the military to refine and present options to shoot the balloon down immediately. the president also directed the military, the intelligence community to collect against the balloon so we would learn more about china's capabilities and trade craft. at the same time, we

protected -- we protected against chinese intelligence collection because we knew exactly where the balloon was going. >> jesse: so we let them spy on our nuke sites and we're positive they didn't get anything good? biden said he is 100 percent confident that the chinese didn't see anything for over 4,000 miles because biden was confident that the taliban wouldn't take over afghanistan. so i'm not confident in joe biden's confidence. we protected against chinese intelligence collection? well, that's the same thing we said when the chinese slept with swalwell that they didn't get anything. and that's what they said when they put a spy at senator feinstein's driver for 20 years. he didn't hear anything for 20 years in the front seat of the car. i'm not sure what we have been doing to protect against chinese spies is working. because they have been stealing a lot of our stuff. and how do you know it didn't soak up all of our corporate secrets? how do you know they didn't fight over boeing's headquarters

all of a sudden china's planes are faster. oops? they are still fishing this thing out of the ocean. spy equipment the size of a jet liner exploded in seven miles of 50-foot deep water are they really going to find every single piece? cnn is still looking for that malaysian flight. what are they going to learn from it when it's all wet? when i drop my phone in the pool it doesn't work very well. wouldn't it be better to capture this stuff on dry land? it's almost like biden wanted the balloon sack all wet. oh, sorry, guys, it's all wet. so now the fbi has china's wet spy balloon and hunter's laptop. which one do you think is harder to crack? well, the white house says this is no big deal. this is the second balloon under biden and joe's people said it happened three times under trump. but every trump official denies it, even the ones who hate trump. >> how is it possible that this

administration discovered at least three previous balloons that flew over the u.s. under the previous administration but trump officials didn't know it was happening? >> yeah. so, look. i think that and we have talked about this before about how when it -- when the prc government surveillance balloons trans -- transited the continental u.s. briefly at least three times as you just mentioned the president prior creation the intelligence community as i said is prepared to give -- give briefings to key officials but this is something -- this is something, sorry, post, this is something that we -- we -- they were not aware of. >> jesse: i always belief what the intelligence community says about trump. every time it's always right. so, china had three balloons here under trump. nobody saw them. only biden knows about them. and he will brief trump officials on it? why didn't we hear about these

balloons on the news? well, because they weren't balloons. they were ufos. it looks like in order to make biden look better, washington officials took a bunch of ufo reports from the trump years and renamed the balloons ufos and leaked it. and the ufos are now identifying as chinese balloons. so the first president to get tough on china, the guy who started a trade war with him and wanted to nuke a hurricane if it got too close to miami wouldn't pop a chinese spy balloon? trump wanted to throw missiles at mexican drug cartels. but he is going to leave the chinese blimp alone? yeah. there's no video. there's no complete records. there's no memos. it's only names intelligence sources saying trump let chinese balloons hover. and if the chinese spy balloons are all so common, why is the administration scrambling to brief congress? if this wasn't the first time, shouldn't congress have already been briefed on spy balloons? why did biden keep it a secret

until civilian snapped the picture, huh? it's just like the classified documents. biden wasn't going to say anything until the press found out. and we don't cancel blinken's trip with china until after the press finds out? what was blinken going to promise xi jinping at this meeting that was so important that we were going to allow a chinese spy balloon and not cancel it? this balloon is actually a blessing in disguise. now america knows about the threat of china. everyone in america knows about the chinese threat. first cody now the spy balloon. we couldn't see the chinese brian hunter with diamonds. we couldn't watch swalwell get honey trapped thank god. but this is right in everyone's face. this weekend it was all of everything that people were talking about how would you hanchedz the chinese spy balloon. >> pop that sucker right away. my mom would have shot that

down. >> jesse: we will have more on that later tonight. americans realize russia isn't the big boogie man that everybody makes it out to be. russia is note but they have nothing on china. china is bribing, somebody a back tajing us stealing. our president and his family are in their pocket. biden's family is in business with the spy chief china. hunter is sleeping with chinese spies. taking in millions from communists biden school where they scored those top secret documents was flooded with chinese cash after biden got in the white house he shut the program down. he refuses to shut down a chinese spy balloon? not a good look. and joe was even hacking with hunter this weekend. look at this. did hunter want the balloon popped? both of these guys are under investigation for national security reasons. and chinese influence schemes. the fbi see see seized joe and

hunter's property. joe just duke out a quarter of a million dollars loan probably to pay for hunter's lawyers and his own lawyers. and these go two guys are kicking it over the weekend with their feet up watching their chinese buddies balloon transmit our secrets back to beijing? so joe doesn't have anything on the schedule today. boning up on his big state of the union for tomorrow night. >> does this change your speech tomorrow night, sir? and your foreign policy message? >> no. >> jesse: no. it looks like he is going it read whatever speeches people wrote for him months ago. ignore the balloon. ignore inflation, ignore crime. ignore the border. everything is just fine. just don't look up. let's turn it over to south carolina senator lindsey graham. so, senator, they popped this sucker right off of your state's coast line. are you not in a wet suit out there trying to recover the tech? [laughter] >> i'm not so sure it may have been some bubba shot it down. but, you know, the show is really good tonight because, is the pentagon playing politics?

if we had chinese spy balloons come across america in the past and they didn't tell the president trump then that's sort of a political decision. i don't believe for one moment they would have shot this balloon down unless somebody saw it over montana. and you make a great argument. if you think spying on america this balloon, why wouldn't you shoot it down over alaska? they waited to get the surf side beach south carolina and then they shot it down. i think the only reason they shot it down is because of the public pressure and there are a lot of questions to be asked here. >> jesse: did you get briefed as a member of the senate ever on chinese spy balloons? >> first off, one, i would like to know hey we are going to shoot it down over your state. could you mind? i watched it on fox. y'all had the exclusive video. this is screwed up multiple levels. so, yeah. i want to know. i want to know why didn't we know about previous chinese spy

balloons going across the country? could the pentagon fail to inform president trump? i don't believe for one moment they were going to shoot this blueberry down until public pressure mounted. but, this is joe biden in go buckets both of them are bad buckets. indecisive joe biden. you know putin is going to invade ukraine for weeks, if not months. you don't arm the ukrainians. you don't put sanctions on to deter a weapon on you could have deterred. indecision, right? then the border. decision. decisive biden. you repeal all the policies of donald trump even though they tell you it's going to lead to an invasion. you pull out of afghanistan decisive biden even though everybody tells you it's going to create a new 9/11 event for the united states potentially. the balloon is indecisive biden whether he is decisive or indecisive he always screws up. >> jesse: biden says he has protected the country from them sucking up all of our secrets. do you know about a switch, senator, that we just hit on and

off just kind of throws a blanket over our secret? i don't know crap about balloons common sense if chinese got a balloons with three tractor-trailers hitched to it they are up to no good. >> jesse: all right. >> why would you let them go all the way to south carolina? this makes no sense it. doesn't pass the smell test and this is dangerous and it sends all the wrong signals at the wrong time. >> jesse: well, you know, out of courtesy they should have called you to say they were going to shoot that sucker down over your state. that's just poor manners. >> i would have liked to have known. >> jesse: you could have been out there in a lawn chair. >> yeah. i could have been there. bye. >> jesse: hillary clinton just said kamala harris has got to go. ♪ ever leave your clothes in the dryer and find a wrinkled mess? try downy wrinkle guard fabric softener! wrinkle guard penetrates deep into fibers,

all said she, harris, had not made herself into a formidable leader. two democrats recalled private conversations in which former secretary of state hillary clinton lamented that ms. harris could not win because she does not have the political instincts to clear a primary field. no political instincts? what happened to women supporting women? but it's not just crooked taking aim at kamala. accord tog this piece in the "times," everybody in washington wants kamala out. the painful reality for ms. harris is that in private conversations over the last few months, dozens of democrats in the white house on capitol hill and around the nation are,including some who helped put her on the party's ticket said she had not risen to the challenge of proving herself as a future leader of the party much less the country. even some democrats who her own advisers referred supporters to

confide privately that they had lost hope in her. what about the big money fundraisers? they have bailed, too. bundler, john morgan, who used to raise money for slick wily told the "times" i can't think of one thing that she's done except stay out of the way and stand beside him at certain ceremonies. and if you thought that was brutal, get a load of this. through much of the fall, a quiet panic set in among key democrats about what would happen if president biden opted not to run for a seconds term. most democrats interviewed who insisted on anonymity to avoid alienating the white house said flatly that they did not think ms. harris could win the presidency in 2024. some said the party's biggest challenge would be finding a way to sideline her without inflaming key democratic constituencies that would take offense. this is it. this is the beginning of the end for kamala. first it was pocahontas, then

"the washington post," but, once the gray lady comes to your head, the "new york times," game over. senator ted cruz is a judiciary committee member. senator, this is ugly. i'm sure you were amused reading the "new york times" this morning, which i'm sure you always do. >> well, jesse, i got to say, you always have an insightful and amuses view on life. but hillary clinton is frayed dough? that really is the brothers cuomo are pissed at you. that's their name dammit. don't give it to hillary. hillary may have taken jeffrey epstein out in a row boat and had him say a hail mary. but, look, kamala has been a train wreck. everybody knows it. there's a reason why she has been given one and only one job responsibility in the biden presidency and that was kamala, you are in charge of the

southern border. now, you don't give your vice president the biggest mess in your presidency unless you really dislike your vice president. and that's what joe biden was saying. he handed her that big steaming mess. and said it's all yours. and she proceeded to do absolutely nothing with it. she has yet to go to the rio grande valley even once. the epicenter of this crisis. beyond that, they do everything they can to hide her. you know, joe is in a basement. i think they put her in a different basement undisclosed location. and it's because she usually wears peppermint flavored shoes. she sticks her feet in her mouth every day. now, this "new york times" article, listen, when democrats want to kill each other, though have the "new york times" on speed dial number one. and what this article is every ambitious democrat, they are looking at joe biden i'm here to tell you joe biden is knot going to rub in '24.

i do not believe he will be the democrattable nominee in '24. all the democrats are measuring the grapes. you are looking at people like pete buttigieg and elizabeth warren and gavin newsom who all see kamala harris in their way and, you are right, hillary is seething with jealousy. and so these knives are coming from every direction and she has certainly given them a throat work with. big prediction by the senator. did you ever get briefed? joe says this happening all the time. happened for years. is this the first time you heard about it when you saw it on tv on wednesday? >> the only place i have heard about this is through the leaks from the biden administration over the past 10 years i have served on the senate armed services committee. on the senate foreign relations committee. i have been in hundreds of classified briefings, and what happened with this spy balloon was an absolute disgrace. for a week unsushi what to do.

demonstrating weakness. he let this balloon hover over sensitive military facilities. presumably taking photographs, taking infrared no doubt trying to intercept communications and likely sending all of that data up to satellites and back to beijing and after a week, after it had completed its mission, only then did biden discover the courage to shoot the damn thing down. once it was done, once it was over. what he should have done is shot it down as soon as it entered u.s. airspace. he should have shot it down on the front end. now, as you noted, several senior trump officials have said it isn't true that chinese spy balloons entered under trump. the biden administration is trying to leak to the contrary. i will tell you what i said on my podcast. i do a podcast three times a week. today's podcast verdict is all on this chinese spy balloon. and i said, look, if it happened under trump and if it was

similar it should have been shot down then. but we don't have any evidence of that and i look forward this weekend to what better be classified briefings for the senate about what happened here and what the real exposure is. what secrets have been stolen by the chinese because of biden's incompetence. >> jesse: tomorrow at the state of the union when you show up you should bring a balloon and pop it right in the middle of the speech. [laughter] >> well, there are secret service agents there. so, jesse, i appreciate you trying to get me shot. >> jesse: that's probably a better idea not to do it. senator, thank you so much. we will she see you either clapping or sitting on your hands tomorrow night. >> excellent. >> jesse: all right. a big win for the migrants who have been complaining about our food. my asthma felt anything but normal. ♪ ♪ it was time for a nunormal with nucala. nucala is a once-monthly add-on treatment for severe eosinophilic asthma that can mean less oral steroids. not for sudden breathing problems. allergic reactions can occur.

her electric car? probably not. electric cars run off lithium ion batteries filled with little element called quo battalion. where does this little element come from. nearly all of it comes from mines deep in the heart of africa. and it's being fueled by slave-like conditions. [chatter] >> jesse: thee are cobalt mines in the congo where thousands of africans work in the extreme heat and dangerous conditions for pennies. in america we call that illegal. but biden, aoc called that the green new deal. but children halfway around the world are the ones paying the price. they spend all day covered in toxic chemicals to make your electric car. mothers with newborn babies strapped to their chest, they are mining in dark pits.

biden would never let this happen in america because you actually have to pay american workers a decent wage. and then the green new deal gets more expensive and it's already too expensive. but since this is in africa, we don't hear about it. and we don't think anybody should buy an electric car without knowing that this happen. the author of cobalt red how the blood of the congo powers our lives joins us. if anybody knew that children in africa were digging in to mineral pits for pennies. day and night, i don't think they would buy a tesla. do you think aoc would buy that car again if she knew that? >> well, my hope would be people would think twice because as you rightfully pointed out we would never accept the did he go greyf our men and children here cobalt
