but what i can also tell you is it was an opportunity to speak clearly and directly about the fact that china sent at surveillance balloon over our territory by letting sovereignty and international law. i told him simply thought was unacceptable and can never happen again. >> it's interesting they are in unit discomforts and the conference is to discuss the situation in ukraine and russia. i think it's an interesting thing we need to think about because are we being distracted by the situation and ukraine x should our focus, i believe our focus should be primarily on china. that's the main threat, over the skies and a lot of talk about how depleted our weapons are because they keep going over to ukraine and we need to build that up as well as the sheer amount of money.

>> all we've been dealing with and prospects of the threat of china and what we get out of the applicant is unacceptable. how they read that, compare that to the trump administration were donald trump would said pictures of the taliban and there was a why did you send a picture of the house? you know why i sent you a picture of the house because if you touch a hair on the head of one of the soldiers will go sideways. afghanistan is an impairment and we take advantage of it and we let the balloon transfers our country and we tell them it's unacceptable. >> they are not held to offer an apology. instead, they mock united states of america. china's ministry of foreign affairs said we asked the u.s. to handle the issue in a calm manner in the u.s. disregarded the fact and used fighter jets to intercept the balloon it was absurd and hysterical. it does not show america is strong. on the contrary, it shows the opposite. >> especially when you consider

the fact that the real balloon, the real surveillance got to do what it got to do and $12 weather balloons and we are learning of the blues was government-funded so we funded it and shut it down which we now say we can't find. those are the ones we shoot down, china knows how erratic it is and it doesn't look strong. >> you had a great interview, will. with the general, general newton. he's talking about, he said the buildup in china and sophistication they are gaining, the word he used is breathtaking. >> if this balloon serves any purpose to the american people and we've said this, but it's a reminder, that is and should serve as an eye-opener. an eye-opener on so many levels, we are dependent upon china when it comes to products, pharmaceuticals, salas dopamine hits through our phones and to. china invasion of our university

system with their dollars. china is playing and influence peddling game on the world stage country after country and we want to walk around assuming they are not doing the same? we have conversations whether or not the biden of demonstration is compromised. one thing we can promise is china is surely attempting to compromise the american political system. then this balloon should be the little light that opens up everyone's eyes, not just about what china is doing now but what china is preparing for in the future. >> the distraction of the dopamine hit of tik tok of our kids, and entire generation blinded. >> the distraction in ukraine and the ukraine situation has brought china and russia closer. one thing he was talking about was the fact that we know china is helping russia, why are our leaders so dumb? >> is so important, if the

conference is about ukraine and if you repeat read the reports, it is, arming the war in ukraine, these are world leaders mostly western oriented you would think kind of sort of, the lines are blurred these days, they should put their heads together saying how to prevent the future from being not a communist future? the chinese seek world domination and we are asleep, that should be issue number one, two and three. instead, how do we pump more issues into ukraine? >> we are increasingly financial dependent i china. here's talking about the importance of through corporations. >> i think we need to declare independence from china now because we cannot ever defeat an enemy militarily that we depend on for our modern way of life and shoes on our feet to the phones in our pockets. that's what's different from the last cold war and soviet union. the never supplied modern life the way china does today.

what they've done is turned companies into trojan horses because what they do is say you can't enter the chinese market unless you supplicate to the ccp but if you criticize the united states where you constrain the u.s. economy through admissions kat or anything, they will roll out the red carpet. >> that's absolutely correct. >> he's one 100% right. as we see the aggression, the conversation you had with general newton, he said, you asked him, could we have a confrontation, a real war with china? he didn't say no, he said there's a real possibility so watch out there in china. there could be problems, baby you all to start bringing your company's home countries that are not our moral enemies. >> the communist chinese are at war with us and would prefer to win that work and that's what they are undertaking. >> absolutely. >> ashley strohmier has more headlines.

removing honors english classes in the name of racial equity. culver city high school reportedly losing the classes because there weren't enough black and latino students enrolled in the class. the next guest has two daughters to go to the high school and he says this is a disservice to the students and community. pedro -- >> thank you for joining us this morning. how did you find out this policy is coming into effect in your school? >> the parents -- >> were you notified? >> we got an e-mail saying that

the school was going to align the english curriculum with the districts equity plan, the first i've ever heard of this and looking in to the school's equity plan, right away i was troubled by it. >> what troubles you ask i know you are of cuban descent, they want to make everyone equal, what does that tell you? >> well, if you look at the clients, you would think it would to find whatever it means but not. everybody i know would agree we want to provide equal opportunity to all students and a lot of people would agree we want to provide the students based on their individual needs but the way the plan is drafted,

equity is fine in terms of the equal outcomes and at all costs getting rid of honors. >> it's such a great thing, equity and equality of opportunity are two different points. they are eliminating ap courses which means high achieving students can't take the courses anymore. an english course you want your daughters to be part of. why doesn't the school or have the teachers approached the school and say give extra tutoring to the students falling behind? >> they are limiting honors but the honors courses, one are for ap courses so it's empowering the students, they are not going to be able to perform when they do go in the ap courses and this is for many parents, why can't we provide extra support for the kids struggling?

absolutely. then keep the opportunities. >> i hope parents keep fighting, here's what the over city unified school district has to say, they say it's an issue of academic rigor and equity. transition from a two-tiered system of honors and non- honors to college prep classes for all led by our english teachers. we put trust in educators closest to our students, the teachers with them in the classroom day in and day out. obviously that tells you they are putting their trust in the teachers and not the parents. final thoughts? >> i have spoken with some teachers and they are not in agreement providing a rigorous course for the students. they are afraid to speak out, they don't want to be recommended, they have their careers to worry about so it's culture keeping teachers from speaking up.

>> i'm sure the culture of silence and censorship perhaps is exactly people from cuba trying to remove themselves f from, leave the island. >> yes and it's hard not to draw -- when you come from a country like that you appreciate what can happen when people start thinking and acting this way. >> great to have you, thanks for fighting. we need parents like you standing up. thank you for joining us. coming up, ask for pro shop gearing up for the daytona 500. next guest behind the wheel of bass pro cars later today, martin junior and austin join us along his company celebrating 50 years in the business.
