| 0:00.0 | Hey, we'll get to Jim Biden. Not Joe Biden. Jim Biden. We'll get to the balloon. We'll get to |

| 0:16.0 | That's the good news. Now, Joe Biden, his silence is scaring a lot of people on this balloon stuff. And Gordon Chang, |
| 0:25.4 | the great China analyst, I don't like this column he wrote today about this balloon as a prelude to |
| 0:30.3 | an attack. Joe Bartlett, that sounds scary. I don't think they're going to attack the U.S. I think |
