1:01 pm
about the size and shape of the two high altitude objects the military shut down over alaska on friday and cannot yesterday. hello eric. eric: hello thank you all for joining us i'm eric shawn for another high-altitude objects down by military aircraft this follows reef closing of and they close airspace over parts of montana for a few hours last night. they sent fighter jets of to take a look at radar anomaly but they found nothing. this comes after the u.s. military down to the chinese spy balloon off the coast of south carolina last weekend. coming up former acting dhs secretary chad wolf is with us the house intelligence committee. both standing by to fill us in and we have live fox team news coverage.
1:02 pm
brian is in recovery efforts off the east coast there but let's go to lucas tomlinson alive at the very latest at the white house if we have the latest on what is now another apparent shootdown over lake huron. but since right moms go senior u.s. official confirmed to fox news for the fourth time in eight days object has been shot down over north america. this latest taking place moments ago over lake huron over at lake huron jack bergman alluded retired general and former naval aviator himself knows all about this and a two week quote over the great lakes region today. the u.s. military has decommissioned another object over lake huron i appreciate the decisive action american people deserve more answers than we have. november before this latest object was shot down the fourth
1:03 pm
object shot down over north america in the past eight days. another potential spotting took place over the skies of montana. faa close the launch alert norad later called anomaly. that did not stop senator tester from happening the following on cbs earlier. ask my guess is it will get shot down for the military will make an assessment as to potential collateral damage just like they did with the chinese spy plane. parks after the object wasn't blown out of the sky over canada yesterday the faa close airspace in montana after potentially seeing objects on radar. give the all clear a short time later and could give a false alarm she mentioned earlier called it a radar anomaly. now a similar situation over the skies of lake michigan. however they did shoot it down
1:04 pm
u.s. air force f-22 raptor shutdown in canadian airspace yesterday. 100 miles of the border with alaska over the object was shot down another optical shutdown friday afternoon off to the north coast of alaska. harsh conditions the temperature in the northern coastline minus 20 degrees high winds limited daylight while hampering the sort for the debris field. kenneth prime minister is in his name is con chuck schumer member of a gang of eight pulses held intelligent all of these objects over alaska and canada over the past two days apparently over it like huron as well our balloons. >> masala in south america they probably been all over the world. i do think sitter testers looking into why it took so long for our military intelligence to know about these pollutants. that is something i support congress should look at that. it's not clear if this is the
1:05 pm
same object here east over lake michigan and lake karen the one shutdown over lake huron was indeed confirmed to be another object. present biden's here at the west a host of nation's governors last night at the white house he did not speak to the cameras. he did not talk about any of these objects. today would not heard anything from the white house we've not planned to hear or see from the president. once again to recap for the fourth time in eight days and object has been shot down by u.s. military aircraft over north america. eric: just called senator schumer at some of them balloons but we are getting various descriptions the fighter pilots over canada said there is an object a cylindrical type of objects for they do not know if it's private or public of its russian if it is chinese or what it is.
1:06 pm
there is some frustration there and concerned there is not a narrative to comfort people over exactly what these objects are. >> certainly not going to be comforting third time in three days and object has been shot down over north america let's recap on friday we had an object shot over alaska off the northern coast heard on saturday, yesterday we had object shot down over canada's yukon territory now another apparent shootdown. this one over lake huron for this not quite apparent to those or canadian airspace the borders are both nations of course when the 2000-pound chinese spy balloon or apparatus whatever you want it shot down over south carolina about eight days ago off the coast of south carolina but right now the origin of these last three objects is unknown. the kind of worker details.
1:07 pm
getting to these debris fields you heard me say it's very tough to get to the north coast of alaska temperatures 20 degrees below zero yukon territory also very rugged hard to get to as well been the canadians are leading that search we heard canadians prime minister and pass defense minister saying this was a cylindrical object, we heard from u.s. officials that said as they small balloon small metallic blue and tethered to a small payload. we heard the object shot down over alaska was the size of a small car. fast evolving situations here the past three days of the white house. eric: will see if i get any further clarification from the biden administration on specifics i know you'll bring that to us lucas at the white house, lucas of course thank y you. arthel. arthel: eric and lucas on the role the chinese spy craft the one shutdown last week has played in helping the u.s. spot the other two airborne objects taken down over this weekend.
1:08 pm
bryan llenas is the latest in myrtle beach with the latest on that. >> arthel, senior u.s. official tells our jennifer griffin that indeed the chinese spy gearshift that was shot down over a week ago off the south carolina coast has helped the u.s. spot these new unidentified objects. the official tells box intelligence gathered by spy planes of this 200-foot tall high altitude balloon as it traversed the u.s. allowed officials to adjust radar parameters to look for objects flying at higher altitudes number" turned up the frequency. as a result starts in more potential objects on radar. the example given as a equivalent to the movie the hunt for red october once the u.s. to the frequency to look for they can hear the russian substrate in this case identifying the frequency of this chinese spy airship allowed the u.s. to adjust its radar to find more objects for the china spy airship was different to these
1:09 pm
new objects of alaska and canada these two objects u.s. officials tell foxy spy craft have been steering and maneuvering capabilities. nissan and objects did not. still members of congress is not shutdown like the ones in canada were. >> i probably would have done it different that is not saying i am right or i am wrong or they are right or they are wrong. and we end up with the balloon they have recovered were going to put it back together reverse engineer. to date navy personnel were seen taking a boat out of the water. terms of salvage operations in south carolina we've been told those are suspended temporarily at least until tomorrow due to hazardous water conditions. it is about five -- 8-foot seas the weather not right to expect the salvage operation to take up
1:10 pm
to two more weeks. arthel. the event alright bryan llenas thank you very much for the update reporting from myrtle beach, south carolina. super exactly what congresswoman said about the length huron shootdown that occurred this afternoon. she says quote it's been down by pilots and national guard. great work by all who carried out this mission. both in the air and back at headquarters. interested in exactly what this object was as long as these things keep traversing the u.s. and canada will continue to ask congress to get a full briefing based on our exploration of the record. what are they? where were they from? i have more on the white chad wolf is their former acting department of secretary under president trump and executive director of the american first policy institute. if you think our homeland security is not threatened by
1:11 pm
whatever these things are? >> i think that is really the question we need to ask ourselves but what are the new threats to the homeland? is it just surveillance or is it something more than that? honestly have a number of shootdown's over the course of just a handful of days that is concerning. think that is on the minds of a lot of americans, what exactly is going on. is the u.s. a target of some kind from an adversary? the more information the biden could dare on this the better off they're going to be short and the long run. before this can point we don't have a lot of information for the biden administration it was said they weren't balloons now have two members of congress from michigan talking about the slightest object with its either a cylindrical object of some type of thing that was flying in the air freight could be a balloon. don't you think the administration should have some type of statement to comfort the american people about what these things actually are? >> absolutely. they need to be a lot more forthcoming than they have been. not only on what these individual objects are but why
1:12 pm
are they just now showing up on the last week or week and a half or have they been there all along? the more information they can provide to the american people and if there a specific threat to the homeland they need to be forthcoming about that these reassure americans exactly what is going on but i think there's a lot of unanswered questions out there. does a lot of americans watching this newscast and others cite what exactly is going on here? >> people are making jokes about the cylindrical ufos is it a ufo, is it an object? all of those, joshing aside china does have a history of sending these balloons a high altitude they been doing this for several years apparently. does not fit their memo in trying to inquire intelligence bias by transversely these balloons of the united states? >> well, absolutely.
1:13 pm
but china as well as another u.s. defenses all the time. whether that's military defenses are actually sending individuals into the u.s. to steal secrets in a variety of other things. it certainly fits within that narrative of the communist party of china is trying to do both diplomatic, economically and militarily as well. got to continue to ask these questions of the biden administration, to what end? to what end of the 70s balloons are objects over north america? is it just port surveillance or is it something more? what is the u.s. response? that is also very important. we need to send a signal if it is a chinese or is the adversaries this is not tolerable. the sooner we do that the better. before the latest reports in them doing this for several years including the trump administration. at that time the administration did not know about it.
1:14 pm
they apparently went over, florida, hawaii, guam, melter installations in guam for north folk virginia is a big naval base in california. these balloons had radar jamming signals intel hears general glenn that her head of the north american aeros defense command. he admits it, these things went over but they did not even see them at the time. here's what the general just said. >> it is my responsibility to detect threats to north america. i can tell you we did not detect those threats. and that is an domain awareness cap that we have to figure out. before domain awareness cap they couldn't figure out the got a big loophole these things are coming over across our country. what are your thoughts on our military having and do we unawareness cap using the words of the generally did not even see these things. >> and fortunately we also call
1:15 pm
that a failure. it is a failure to actually identify these objects, intercept them in august and recover them. they've done that in the past is part of the trump administration. i read a lot of intelligence and acting secretary got even more intelligence but i never heard of anything like this during the four years of the trump administration. so if they were there they certainly were not reported on. i would have to ask norad and others as well as our intelligence communities why is that gap they are and why did that? that is certainly why the after action items they continue to see these objects they are continuing to test us. so for high-level trump administration officials echo exactly what you just said. president trump was not alerted about these. apparently they were lower level or more briefly came over the united states. that's clearly troubling what you think should happen next in terms of china continuing to send these over whatever they
1:16 pm
are? >> well, it is troubling that we did not know about it or at least not brought to our attention. what should happen next is the biden administration these are chinese one shot over the atlantic was china origin related. i don't know what the other three are but if they are from china we need to engage them diplomatically. but also need to make sure there is a repercussion for this. this is not acceptable for they know it is not acceptable. think the biden administration first needs to be honest with the american people. what their intent was, is there a threat to the homeland? then what is the response of the u.s. at this is specifically towards china or another adversary? before general former acting secretary department: security. your job protecting the hom homeland. thank you and we thank you for your insight this afternoon. waiting for the biden administration to issue a statement. as you say to reassure tell the
1:17 pm
american people exactly what we are facing. mr. will thank you, arthel. arthel: eric, continuing with pennsylvania republican congressman brian fitzpatrick but he is a member of the house intelligence committee. congressman, thank you for joining us on this very, very busy and confusing and puzzling sunday. you're calling from michigan congressman jack tweeting 45 minutes ago about an area object over lake huron saying the u.s. military has decommissioned the object. fifteen minutes ago michigan congresswoman tweeted it has been down by u.s. air force and national guard. both confirmed by senior officials so is it all about the frequency? what is your reaction to this and the faa briefly closing part of the airspace as multiple objects were shot down by u.s. fighter jets? >> thanks for having me, arthel
1:18 pm
writes of further aggression from the chinese dictator. they want to do things his predecessors have not. that's also the house intelligence committee have been seeing this and getting brief done on the specifically but the threat of the ccp for years now. i will tell you, arthel, this is a whole new level of aggression. china has been purchasing of massive amounts of lands united states thousands over chinese nationals are coming in the southern border which is in incredibly unsecured of the airspace is unsecure that jen referred to which i agree for the acting secretary that is another way to say failure for the real danger here is this balloon was interdicted last week for the trajectory that took it when over three of her most sensitive military locations. the first balloon over what we call the triad in montana. let's air, land, sea nuclear and
1:19 pm
counterstrike ability. flew over omaha, nebraska the largest site of our nuclear stockpile. same place george w. bush was taken on 911. leslie overby to bombing facility in missouri. this was all predetermined by china. these were signals directly transmitted back to beijing by the way. what your viewers need to know, satellites exist throughout low orbit they generally give you geo intelligence visuals. these balloons operate 40 -- 60000 feet are low enough to get signal intelligence which is very dangerous especially of those very sensitive locations. see five of their survey link nuclear and military as well as food supplies that possible? there's been talk about china trying to infiltrate the food supply chain here to the united states. is there anything to that? you are on the house intel
1:20 pm
committee is that conjecture or is or something to that? >> any critical materials china trying to think a competitive advantage of by the 5g, semi conductors, artificial intelligence, our food supply or nuclear stockpile, they are incredibly aggressive. i'm very thankful mccarthy has stood up a select committee on china to expose this. it has come at a very opportune time for sure. arthel: before the chinese's bible and discoveries after the state of the union address you cited, congressman, three areas use the openings for legislative action in dealing with china. what do you have in mind? >> first we have to beef up our counterintelligence against china that is number one and number two we have to go further on sanctioning. for example when they were covered this a payload off the cows of south carolina, any manufacturer they can trace including american companies,
1:21 pm
including chinese company and any other company they should be able to determine who that is. there is a whole host of things from kicking china out of the trade organization, eliminating interest-free loans from the bank. eliminate the most amos nation status a lot of things we can do for sure to hold them accountable. and most important i think most sensitively a subset of the treasury department which is responsible for monitoring foreign investment in the united states, they have to start looking at the massive amounts of land purchase of policing chinese nationals make particular and sensitive locations and military facilities across the united states. this in government, particularly the administration is asleep at the wheel when it comes to chinese aggression we've got to wake up to very, very quickly. arthel: it is complicated when you massive amounts of business and trade with china cracked out if you have 15 seconds on that but i have to go what is your
1:22 pm
quick reaction to that? that makes it complicated doesn't it? >> much like europe is suffering the pain of cutting the deal the devil on russian energy. they better prepare themselves for extracting themselves in chinese investment. arthel: deals with the devil never good idea congressman fitzpatrick thank you very much fred will see you again soon and for now we will take a break anu will be right back. ergy in just two weeks. uhhhh... here, i'll take that.

space bar more story advertisements are flowing of the united states right now we are to has shut down an area object over lake huron this happened earlier this afternoon for that according to a u.s. a senior official. looking live in mackinac island very peaceful and tranquil sunday afternoon as you can see. the lake borders with canada. it is not known if the object shot down over the lake is the same one because the closing of the airspace over michigan earlier today. no confirmation if it is indeed the latest chinese siebel be shot out of the sky the object has been down too. this is the third such takedown in as many days in the fourth since last week and part airspace over northern michigan was now reopened after the closing of airspace over north-central montana last
1:27 pm
night. norad called it a radar anomaly they saw the jets when they scrambled the jets they got there there is wasn't anything this is after the u.s. military shot down three other high altitude objects over alaska, and over canada. officials say the objects down over canada yesterday and friday and alaska are of unknown origin at this time. very difficult weather conditions to try to retrieve some of the wreckage of what they shut down. they did say those items are smaller than the chinese spy flight that was down off of south carolina last weekend. we are now waiting for more information and a possible statement from the biden administration on what these objects actually are, where they are from and why they are now appearing over our country, arthel. arthel: from high in the sky the southern part of the biden administration says border measures are working after officials confirmed more than 156,000 migrant encounters at the southern border in january.
1:28 pm
that is up from a year ago but down significantly from dec december. we are on pace for a record of fiscal year with more than 874,000 migrants crossing just since october 1. arizona governor katie hobbs tsang on "fox news sunday" the federal government must quickly come up with long-term solu solutions. >> mccann has been kicked down the road for decades by both parties in washington bring solving our immigration crisis could help with economy. help with inflation. we need real solutions. arthel: griffin jenkins live in mission, texas. how is that congress works with the biden administration on long-term solutions? >> great question, arthel. it is very critically important that they do just that. knock down the river's edge, arthel i will give you a birds eye view from the ground you can
1:29 pm
see a cross for me hear from mission, texas units on the other side that is the mexican side you are looking at just around this bend about two hours ago for chinese migrants crossed and surrendered to authorities here. the rise of chinese migrants up over eight 100%. you mentioned that fiscal year number. on this full street you do have 80 and 74000 compared to 673 last year. that is only 25% increase. meanwhile smuggling is showing no signs of slowing down. take a look at this video the border patrol chief in el paso put on twitter. you can see to stash houses are more than 58 migrants were recovered, smugglers from venezuela and mexico were arrested and charged with human smuggling. it is why officials are so concerned about the cartels having control of our border. the border patrol council vice president had this to say, take
1:30 pm
a listen. >> this is really a time for the cartels to reset and decide which nationalities are going to cross and which locations were they control all of this. if they figure they're not going to cross her people in certain areas that will find people from another country to get across the border and will be right back where we started. >> finally, arthel, you mentioned the importance of congress working together but a few days later this week will have our first field hearing from a house committed the energy and commerce committee are bringing members down here for we do not know yet who the witnesses are going to be paid they're going to do a field hearing here in the rio grande valley. i will ask the republicans and democrats alike they are truly going to work together to try and get this under control, arthel. arthel: i will await we will all await their answers. griffin jenkins, thank you very much. eric: first there was one, then there is to, then three, now four. what are we shooting down and why now?

of the top start another object taken down our nation's senior official confirming to fox news the u.s. military didn't shoot down an area object over lake huron earlier this afternoon for your take and live look at mackinac island in michigan on the lake. it is a giant inland lake of course it straddles not just michigan parts of canada. it is not known if the object that was taken down by the u.s. air force and national guard is the same one because the closing on the airspace over the northern part of the state earlier today. it does mark the fourth object that is shot down by the military since last weekend. three just in the past couple of days. potentially all suspected chinese spy balloons for the faa
1:36 pm
close earlier and then reopen points of the u.s. airspace twice in the past two days amid reports of these phenomena objects floating across canada and the northern part of our country has authorities race to try and get the wreckage and recover what there is so they can confirm exactly what these things are. lucas tomlinson is now the white house with the very latest from there. lucas, we are finally getting some clarification, you are about this. what is the latest you can tell us about with these potentially are and what is happening right now? >> all eric i don't think you can say and not for the fourth time in the past eight days u.s. military shot object over north america. this latest incident taking place on this kind of lake huron. came hours after the airspace was closed in lake michigan. just across the michigan peninsula for the pentagon had given the all clear they had
1:37 pm
suspected signing something popped up on radar to give the all clear. in fact their stunning visual identification according to officials. and now, just a few hours later another object shot down over lake huron as you see here which borders michigan and canada. it is not clear where exactly this object was taken down, eric. honestly there's a line going middle of lake huron cap eight u.s. territorial waters cap in canada. we do know this is the third straight day at work object has been shot down over north america just to recap friday and object was shot down over the north coast of alaska u.s. air force raptor and that was launched from alaska and the object was shot down in fact finding that debris field is next to impossible official site is minus 20 degrees and the height north minus 20 degrees to the north. yesterday another object was
1:38 pm
shot down over cannabis and yukon territory. and now today, just moments ago we are learning from congressional officials from u.s. military sources that a fourth object has been shot down over north america in the last eight days this all started with that gigantic 2000-pound chinese spy apparatus that conducted a weeklong honesty across the continent tonight say. eric: from being shot down over the coast of south carolina last weekend. >> china and the reports they have been doing this since 2019 bridge on the trump administration they briefly sent some of these balloons over several areas in norfolk, virginia of course home for large naval base as well as guam and these devices hand signals intelligence and radar jamming devices. we did not know about this until larry mayor as a photographer the billings gazette map to fly his plate last week at the important buildings was closed he looks up and takes a picture of the balloon. is there any indication from the administration officials that
1:39 pm
everyone is going to come clean? that china has been doing this for years but they just basically kept it secret and or could not detect these devices because they are so high up in the rater was amateur they were flowing? quick thoughts and when march of the timing fox news exclusively reported that over four months ago in other ways chinese spy balloons crashed in the waters off hawaii in the pacific. we know a year before that f-22 raptors had been scrambled out of hawaii the air force base out there to look at sunday's chinese spy balloons. there has certainly been more there is an increasing focus on these things and let's not forget these three objects that were not detected until they were arty over u.s. airspace. we heard from chad wolf it's a failure of failure of the rater we heard from a colleague saying that raters were not fully tune. to recap american spy satellites opening high overhead in space. they are looking at missile
1:40 pm
launches they are looking north korea going out class they are based on the explosion of the blast from the pan with perceived missiles moving out from the basis that is what u.s. spy satellites do they count tanks they count aircraft deliver enemy troop movements, and mysteries russia, of course on the ground in ukraine. it comes to the spy balloons spy craft to every winter column is very apparent the u.s. military is having difficulty detecting the imprint on being spotted from ground-based radar. what limits and ground-based radar of course is the curvature of the earth. it is very notable noren has completely heard from north's commanding officer saying it is a gap in u.s. military sensors. these last three objects shot down friday, saturday enough today were not spotted until they were already over u.s. airspace. officials say that is a very
1:41 pm
troubling development. >> lucas the general the head of the defense called it a domain defense. to think they had a loophole in float these over the billikens missiles? consequently said that generally speaking pentagon right there demanding some blind spot much like where other countries look for? they look for weaknesses how to exploit weaknesses. this is apparently what is happening but word of caution though these last three objects have been shot down in this kind pentagon officials, white house officials and canadian officials to hear from the canadian defense minister last night, none of that right now can confirm the origin of these objects. would you want to caution our viewers we should not jump to too many conclusions yet. some of this debris is not meant recover look at this map right
1:42 pm
here in the height north, northern alaska of the yukon territory is very rugged territory. now we have lake huron that splashed on the water think about and potential recovery effort. you are going to have to get dimers i don't have it with with a temperature of lake huron is from the middle of february cannot imagine's very warm right now, eric parkinson will take some time to recover the wreckage. and when they do we have comfort and can only help the administration will tell us all with this stuff is. lucas at the white house, back to is developed. ask eric, thank you right now. right now going to bring a michigan congressman jackie first tweeted out on an object taken down over lake huron. congressman, thank you for joining us. we do not to jump to conclusions as lucas tomlinson partner cause unnecessary alarm. what can you tell us, what is going on? >> i can tell you i got a call
1:43 pm
from osd a couple of hours ago thereabouts. they informed me an f-16 using a missile had shot down an octagonal structure over at lake huron. the altitude is about 2000 20000 feet. at that time i asked the question what is the plan for recovering the debridement? they said they were working on it they would get back. the bottom line is the scrambled the f-16. took it out and no damage to human life or property because it went in the water. the lake huron at this time is very, very, very cold going to have to use dimers of special care. without octagonal in shape hovering at 20000 feet. what does this tell you about this object? what do you hope to find and how quickly do you think they can be
1:44 pm
recovered and begin to collect information from it? >> i think it would be probably premature of me too suggest anything regarding what they will find. the key is it was swift action by the department of defense. and unfortunately because of the events in the last 10 days or so we are getting better at it because we realize there are structures floating over our sovereign territory that we have to deal with and build them directly. >> is there something in the frequency? is there reasoning appears in the general american public that it appears this is happening so quickly on the set in. so what has changed? >> the question is not so much as what has changed other than the fact is there more activity or is there just something going
1:45 pm
on were now the department of defense doing its job northern commandment is headquartered in colorado springs. it is seeing they have to communicate more with the american public and let us know. what we want to know the average american, any american wants to know. he word average. as our defensive forces arkeepie and secure basically in her own country. >> absolutely but that is what i meant what has changed? in terms of transparency what is the fine line? of course when the military and the white house to let us know, all americans let us know what is happening. all of this is being broadcast in real time right back to beijing. how do you walk that fine line to let us know again what is happening but also without
1:46 pm
giving china any insight as to exactly what we know and they can telegraph what our next move might be. see bottom line is the origin somewhere under control of the country other than our own. they are watching detailing exactly what we are doing. the point is what we need out of the administration, which we did not get on the front end is more forthright action. especially on the diplomatic side in coordination with our allies to ensure everybody. i mean everybody who actually put something in the air over north america knows it is not a good strategy because we will defend our airspace. arthel: minister of canada, president turned out, and president biden decided to shoot down i believe it was yesterday,
1:47 pm
