Emergency Saturday Broadcast! U.S. Shoots Down Chinese Weapons Balloon
South Carolina Balloon Shootdown, Public Pressure, Biden Administration
Live coverage details the US Air Force shooting down the Chinese high-altitude balloon over the coast of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The hosts argue that the Biden administration only took action due to immense public and media pressure after initially trying to hide the object's presence. The delay is viewed as a sign of weakness that allowed the CCP to measure US response times and resolve.
