As a Chinese surveillance balloon drifts over the United States, Clay & Buck criticize the “pussy willows” in the Biden White House for refusing to shoot it down as well as the governors of red states. What’s going on here?

Why the hell would we let a Chinese spy balloon fly all over the country? And why wouldn’t a Republican governor just shoot it down when it’s in that state’s airspace? This is unacceptable weakness.

Biden’s response? They’re postponing — not cancelling — Secretary of State Blinken’s trip to schmooze with the CCP.

This is not a “weather balloon.” It’s a spy craft. Could it be part of a larger test by China and they’re just testing if we’ll even notice this?

BREAKING: The U.S. is tracking a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been spotted over U.S. airspace for several days, officials said Thursday. The Pentagon decided not to shoot it down due to the risks of harming people on the ground. https://t.co/tm2qtB8DCf
