what was the communication between the white house and the governor of alaska, for example? the communication between the white house and justin trudeau while it was over canada? the dynamic that changes everything is when this photographer, who used to work for a billings newspaper takes a picture of it out of the sky and notifies the department of defense. so if it hadn't been for that, do you think that antony blinken would have been on his way to china and the white house hoped nobody knew about it? >> probably so. you heard about it. the president was authorizing the military to develop plans to shoot it down no later than the 31st of january. why is that important? because operation noble defender, which was a joined exercise in the canadians and the americans ran from january 15 to january 31. so the balloon is making its way over the aleutian islands and canada in the weekend before the end of this exercise. they were demonstrating the joint capabilities of the united states and canadian air forces in a range of operations that took place from greenland to alaska. ab

ailes is here, and he might like to-- - roger ailes actually advised nixon in the white house, on communicationsh sought to make fox's studios the replacement for the smoke-filled backrooms that the old party bosses used to have. [crowd cheering] the thing about trump-- like murdoch, like ailes--he was willing to steamroll a convention. - the united states is run by stupid people. we have stupid leadership. - he was willing to steamroll norms. - he's not a war hero. - he's a war hero. - he's a war hero 'cause he was captured. i like people that weren't captured, okay? i hate to-- - he didn't really care about playing by anybody else's rules, and many of the figures that trump was attacking were the figures that fox had been attacking. - but i'm glad to have you. - i think it's very important that it wasn't just trump. it was trump and one of our two major political parties, and it was a whole media echo system that surrounds that party. - this defines reality. - we're in cold spring, which is part of philipstown. i was the supervisor of philipstown, so i generally call it philipstown, although i

plus the white house praising president biden's skills as a communicator. do they watch this guy? >> i will tell you this the president is the best communicator we have in the white house. >> harris: after watching her last week that might be more fair than you know. ist is struggle for them. another poll finds very few democrats want biden to be the leader of their party. the president is expected to announce a run soon. his own political party seems ready for him to take a seat, several seats. pay off your high-payment car loan with an affordable home loan from newday and save hundreds every month. there are no upfront fees to apply. it's just a new way of life for me. the always discreet pad is super comfortable. it feels like it's barely there. look at how much it holds, and it still stays thin! i've looked at myself in the mirror and i can't see it at all! that's the protection we deserve! type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maint

but today, the white house saying the intelligence community's leading explanation is that the objects "could just be balloons tied to some commercial or benign purpose." >> they are considering or looking this at this to be potentially benign. but of course, we want to make sure that we get the objects so we can get a sense of what -- what the objects were for certain. >> reporter: the kind of explanation that did not sit well with some on capitol hill after a closed door briefing. >> on the one hand, the administration is saying we don't yet know what these last three objects are, but on the other hand, it wasn't a threat. both of those things can't be true. >> the american people need and deserve to know more. >> reporter: a senior u.s. official tells us there is now a working group, a so-called tiger team, that is trying to figure out the right way to recalibrate the systems to register threats like the chinese spy balloon while weeding out weather balloons and the like. david? >> martha raddatz live in washington again tonight. thank you, martha. >>> overseas tonight and to turkey

white house? terms of communicating?st not know about it and sources i talked to said either one of those answers is not a great look for them. >> bret: here is the senate majority leader over the weekend. >> we got enormous intelligence information from surveilling the balloon as it went over the united states. >> did you get enormous intelligence as well? >> they could have been getting it anyway. we have to know what they are doing. >> bret: so, at this point, and, again, we are back to a lack of information. should president biden be speaking out on this and that's some of the calls on capitol hill to actually hear from the president to the american people. >> i would like to hear from the president. but i would like to hear from the president when he has something of substance to tell us. because we have seen his spokespeople coming out. i mean, karine jean-pierre with all respect went on another network this weekend and her answers were sort of disastrous partially because they didn't have new information to impart

during a conversation with journalists, admiral john kirby said as the strategic communications coordinator of the white houseurity council made a very intriguing statement for all of us. he said that on february 24, the administration of the current president of the united states of america, joe biden has to make some very important statement regarding ukraine. well, let's listen to john kirby in direct speech on the occasion of the anniversary of the invasion. you will definitely hear from us again. i don't want to get ahead of myself. but i can say with confidence that representatives of the american administration will talk about a few points first. about the support that we provided ourselves and about the fact that we helped the world to stand up for ukraine secondly we will continue to provide this assistance so that ukraine is ready not only more effectively to defend when the weather improves and could go on the offensive where and when it is needed. oh, how do you understand? on february 24, we already know about two events: first, japan, the jid seven, and then. here is this statement from the whit
