Summary

President Joe Biden delivered his annual State of the Union Address at the Capitol on Tuesday evening and the response from Republicans was not one of approval, denying his claim that suggested GOP lawmakers intend to cut social security and Medicare as a part of budget cuts. Later in the week, Congress received new information regarding the Chinese spy balloon's capabilities and what the FBI is learning as they analyze pieces after it was shot down last week. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram shares his reporting on the State of the Union and how our relationship with China may be affected. This week, big tech was on trial in front of The House Oversight and Accountability Committee for allegedly hiding the Hunter Biden laptop story on Twitter back in 2020. Republican lawmakers claim that the nation's intel agencies and the FBI in particular are being "weaponized" to target everyday Americans' right to freedom of speech. Now, the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government is attempting to expose any abuse of power. Chief Political Correspondent for the Washington Examiner and FOX News Contributor Byron York reveals his perspective and says whether he thinks the committee will amount to any progress.
