victor davis hanson joins us tonight. thanks for coming on. wouldn't it be nice to see somebody pay some price for ineptitude and indifference? >> yeah, it would. he's jumped the proverbial shark. his on qualifications for the job were his identity politics credentials and the fact that he went to harvard and oxford and the media and the bicoastal elite gagaed over him. otherwise, he had the un-midas touch. everything he's touched, whether it was the port crowding at our major ports or the train robbing of trains going in to the ports or these four accidents where airliners crashed on the southwest implosion or the meltdown over the season with the airline or the rail cars. everything he ignores or offers platitudes. how ironic that on the eve or right in the midst of this tragedy in east palestine of this white working class tiny community with an income average of about $45,000, he was lecturing the nation that white hard hats don't look like the community that they are working in. that's not true. he's pandering and ignorant and inaccurate.

that yowhen know what hits the >> joining us now is victor hooe davis hanson, senior fellow atr the hoover institution. biden, victor, says he wants competition not conflict with china. but how does china see biden in the aftermath of the last two years? >> will they see his magnanimity as weakness to beexi exploited, not to be reciprocated? i think biden is confuse the american people. he's frightened our allies, and he's encourageamericd a chi. i mean, there's vulnerabilitybi and then there's the perceptiol ,vulnerability we have both somehow a two hundred foot balloon with a ton payload wente right through our air defensesn and some and some people were babbling about ufos. i mean, yot u caufosn have a one megaton bomb for that payload.eb and we know that the chinese have been experimenting with these very sophisticated balloons for years. russia's flooding the zone in ukraine with balloons that confuse radar. so it wasn't like we weren't prepared for it.ess and then i guess we don't have an airplane that can operate at sixty thousand feet, although we useeet are d to and the russo with

joining us, victor davis hanson.his story is bizarre to me because it doesn't seem like this is an anomaly. it only seems to be an anomaly because someone saw the balloon. >> i think there are two stories, you mentioned the act of humiliation. they are sending a message to taiwan and japan saying this is your ally? we send a balloon through their continent and they don't do anything? one of the first things that happened with the biden administration, they were humiliate by the chinese in anchorage, alaska. they destroyed drones in international waters of ours? 2001 they forced down and rammed a spy plane. they confiscated the plane. in their way of thinking our relationship is asymmetrical and they can do whatever they want. and this administration could have taken this thing down as it approached our air space or water space over t over the ovee aleutians. people points out, well, it has the capacity of two buses, so they must be experimenting with a big payload and it could have weapons significance. maybe it can

joining me now is victor davis hanson, senior fellow, and jason chaffetz. news can you better, we have so much to talk about. this is an insane day. victor, it is beyond what i just laid out in the angle. the chinese have the biden family over their knee at this point, don't they? under this, over their knee, whatever analogy you want to use. >> i thought the press conference from the pentagon was for real because they admitted to us that it wasn't just a weather balloon, it was for surveillance. second, they've known about it for some time. third, it's a violation of u.s. aerospace. fourth, it's a violation of international law. but it doesn't pose a threat. everybody says we aren't afraid it's going to fall in us, we want to know if the terrence is going to be weakening by this type of surveillance and some quarters say it's as good as the satellite surveillance. maybe -- also come up beside the point they might be probing us to see what our response is but they don't look at our mag amenity as kind as to be reciprocated. they are looking at as weakness to

fellow victor davis hanson. >> i think biden has confused the american people.ing allies and encouraging for chinese. they there is vulnerability and think that perception as vulnerability. we know the chinese have been with these sophisticated balloons for years and letting those own in ukraine with balloons and radar. so it wasn't like we weren't prepared for it. that is a question how vulnerable we really are. >> president biden sang yesterday, there has been no increase in the number of objects in our sky. just that radar capabilities have increased, ashley, todd. >> todd: alexandria hoff, thank you at no point in the story has michael's arts and crafts will be a key player in everything we are doing. biden's statement, he said nothing. he could have said nothing we can a half ago. so that is p 1 but part 2, the fact that we don't know is beyond concerning. how can we the greatest country in the world still not know what the heck we shot down? what is going on in this white house? what is going on the top brass of our military they can't figure this out? you

i mean, there's a great article that came out by vick or to have davis hand concern victor davis hansonnks it is the prelude to a third world war. these are really scary kind of articles to read as a mother with kids. and i just, you know -- pete: real estate is -- reality is donald trump's still trying to block ron desantis out. it's not a fore gone conclusion desantis will announce, but if he does, that's when the republican primary starts. rachel: and this op thetic will be front and center -- topic. pete: by the way, we've talked a lot about the southern border. we know our northern border is porous, but a bunch of republican representatives are launching the northern border security caucus, and canadian prime minister justin justin trudeau is expected to press biden on the new york/quebec board. st the only a matter of time that if the southern border became difficult to traverse, you might start trying to come in through canada. rachel: yeah, absolutely. here is representative fallon from texas talking about how there are now two fronts on the border crisis. if. >> well, joe biden
