Learn the Secrets of the Chinese Spy Blimp – FRIDAY FULL SHOW 02/03/23
Pentagon Briefing, Chinese Balloon Payload, Civilian Debris Risks
The show plays audio from a Pentagon briefing where Brigadier General Pat Ryder explains that NORAD is monitoring the Chinese balloon as it moves eastward over the continental United States. Ryder states that the military opted not to shoot it down due to the size of the payload and the risk of falling debris causing civilian casualties or property damage. Jones disputes this reasoning, claiming the balloon could have been safely intercepted over wilderness areas.
