5:07 am
on canada. particularly the northern border gets such little attention, we have problems on the northern border that needs to be secured. >> katie: that is why trudea made a trip to mar-a-lago. he may not be there that long, there is another candidate, who will probably be the next prime minister of canada. >> griff: any canadian new york rangers fan that would have a chance to vote for wayne gretzky would pull that lever in his favor. >> joey: on the state thing, a lot of canadians watch this show. i'm little bit of an american snob. i know they watch and have pride, if canada became a state, it should become two states, we don't nee need one liberal state, make it two.

>> joey: welcome back. unexplained drones leave millions on edge. one defense official issued this warning about it is government's secrecy around ufo's. >> grave misdeeds against military personnel and public to hide fact we are not alone in the cosmos. we can restore our faith in government institutions. i believe we as americans can handle the truth and believe the world deserves the truth. >> joey: fox news contributor and intel analyst and drone expert brett velicovich joins us now. thank you for your service and thank you for joining us. he's talking about extra
5:26 am
terrestrial. i'm looking at timeline on the drone and mayorkas at dhs saying no big deals and admiral kirby saying it, these are people who lied about the chinese spy balloon, if that is the credibility and you are saying there is nothing to worry about, that makes me think there is something to worry about. >> that is the issue, they destroyed credibility with it is ame the american people. i am pragmatic and realistic and to say there is a secret government group covering up evidence of aliens seems far-fetched to me, i don't think the current government is smart enough to do that. what would be incentive of that? why can't someone show clear
5:27 am
photos of ufo's? the more people across country who send my photos of drones, many things are misidentified. people are starting to look up and they see things they don't recognize. government has not protected us from modern-day threats. and lethal drone technology due to ongoing wars overseas has forever changed the way wars are fought. in ukraine, 70 to 80% of attacks are conducted with drones and north korean fighters are being taken out by hand-held drones. we are not ready for this, our military is not ready for this style of fight. there is arrogance in our
5:28 am
administration that think they have it figured out. we will never fight another war without drones. there is an agreement for one million drones to be produced by the chinese government by 2026. that scale does not exist in the u.s. our government is not pr prioritizing it. >> joey: i have done different shows on drones and it is an absolute arms race. we spend money on f-35 and can do that with wal-mart drone now. implement something that easy. when we step back and look at what is happening, we hone in on new jersey, lead up created hysteria. drones going overseas anden this a citizen be ing caught trying o get back to military base and
5:29 am
then this happening in the either east. my take is it is coming from people looking up and paying attention. within all this, there is layer of something specific going on that we need answers on. >> we definitely need answers. the recent sightings show how vulnerable we are, we are no longer in control of our air space and the government response made matters worse. they were caught off guard how little they know themselves. we don't have systems to monitor, identify, disrupt these rogue threats. the united states does not have clear government-wide policy, it is national security threat. all agencies say it is someone else's know responsibility, it
5:30 am
is fbi drones department and faa and they don't know how to properly mitigate the threats and don't possess widespread technology across u.s. to stop it. >> joey: people say 9/11 happened because government agencies didn't talk, i hope that is nots the case here. now listen. >> one theory that got traction, u.s. government dispatched the drones or a pentagon training exercise for military. >> find it hard to believe there is a super secret project in the works. i used to test our military defenses with drone technology. >> joey: watch close encounters of the drone kind, i am going to

5:40 am
san francisco and oakland, new d.a. we are changing landscape in california, our governor gavin newsom, they don't get it, they still play, we don't play. >> katie: voters in california got fed up with smash and grab and crime everywhere as lack of serious consequence. prop 36 passed in every california county and the governor still was against the proposition, but the people wanted severe changes when it came to california. how will this help you clean up the crime happening all over the place? >> it gives us the ability to charge people with prior convictions as we saw in fresno. if they get another misdemeanor,
5:41 am
they never show up, never take it seriously. we have ability to charge felony for repeat offenders and we don't have to wait for it to hit 950, use open cases against them to add up to the 950. for drug offenses, we have ability on smash and grab to charge two or more individuals, they come in and commit a smash and grab, we can charge them with a new crime and have advisement on hard drugs, alexander's law. we can charge you with murder, if you kill somebody. not only do we not play, unlike mary and joseph, we have room at our inn.
5:42 am
there are two doors offered to individualings like these two women in the police car. you go into treatment, into a program where you are going to work on your drug issue or your theft issue or whatever or you are going to jail. we're going to try to be comp compassionate and understanding, but end of the day, we'll get back accountability for illegal acts in california. >> katie: i think business owners and citizens will be relieved. see what the result is of that. >> we don't play. >> katie: i think people are getting the message. thanks. up next, heroic story of how an eight-year-old boy seen in the video, saved his friend from choking at lunch. he's here, up next.
