Summary
“I can tell you without equivocation that during my tenure, there was not one shred of intelligence that came across that showed that even the possibility of a balloon from the Chinese Communist Party or otherwise was going to cross the territorial waters of the United States of America,” says Kash Patel.
Defense officials have said Chinese spy balloons entered U.S. airspace at least three times during the Trump administration. During a press briefing on Feb. 6, Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), said that those Chinese spy balloons had gone undetected at the time.
Kash Patel argues the Biden administration is trying to distract from its own failures. We discuss the Chinese spy balloons and President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody and welcome back to Cash's Corner. |
| 0:13.7 | Jan and I are out on the West Coast in different locations, but we didn't want to miss |
| 0:17.8 | a week, especially with this week State of the Union and all things, the CCP balloon. |
| 0:22.3 | Jan, where would you like to kick off this episode? |
| 0:24.6 | Cash, that's right. I think we do need to talk about the State of the Union. |
| 0:28.3 | I mean, my mind has been on this balloon, and whose mind hasn't been on the balloon, as it's been kind of traversing the entire continental United States only to be shot down |
| 0:38.0 | at the end over there. |
| 0:40.1 | But let's start with the State of the Union. |
| 0:42.0 | And I think you should put your national security hat on here. |
| 0:46.3 | And let's look at the State of the Union through the national security lens. |
| 0:50.7 | The part of the State of the Union that stuck out the most to me or was most alarming was the entire situation in how this administration has dealt with the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping and his leadership there. |
| 1:07.2 | And if you dissect it instead of talking about in generalalities, like President Biden did, |
| 1:13.1 | he did bring up Chinese fentanyl, which is where I want to start. He said 70,000 people died last |
| 1:19.3 | year in America from Chinese fentanyl overdoses. That number is actually a little low, but it's still |
| 1:25.1 | unacceptably too high. You're talking about thousands of deaths a week to get to that number, |
| 1:30.3 | and it is solely attributed to Chinese fentanyl. |
| 1:34.3 | My biggest problem with it was Joe Biden's solution |
| 1:38.3 | that he offered during the State of the Union, |
| 1:40.3 | which was, we need to increase drug detection machines and computer systems at airports and train stations. |
| 1:48.0 | That, in my opinion, Yan, is not how you combat narco-trafficking, |
| 1:54.0 | especially when our government knows that Chinese fentanyl comes in through our country, |
| 1:59.0 | not by air or sea, but through their partnership with |
