W-O-R. Well, Bernadette Castro, of course, a great name in the business world and in government

0:08.2

and one of our favorite guests, Bernadette Castro. How you doing? Nope. Do we have her? Oh, well,

0:15.7

find out. Oh, there you are. Can you hear me now? I can hear you. Good. The spy believe.

0:20.5

No, no, no, but they claim it's weather. Yeah,, that's their BS story. It's weather. So if it's weather, I think they should permit us to shoot it down and do a little forensic look at it. It's weather. If you'd be over Nevada, we could shoot it down. Nobody get hurt. Well, actually, apparently, they can't shoot it down because they are worried about it. There is heavy debris that would fall from it. So they were worried about it.

0:27.3

But you know what? to get her. Well, actually, apparently they can't shoot it down because they are worried about it. There is heavy debris that would fall from it.

0:39.3

So they were worried about it.

0:40.9

But you know what?

0:41.6

I think that they could lower the balloon, Miss Fancy Pants, China, lower it to an altitude where we could control it, take it over Nevada, and let's shoot it down.

0:52.7

Yeah.

0:53.2

Let's prove that it's a weather balloon because I don't like it.

0:56.9

I really don't like it.

0:58.5

And I don't think a Republican, I don't think if Ronald Reagan were president or either of the Bush's or Trump or maybe Ron DeSantis one day, that they would do this.

1:09.3

And I think it's a sign of weakness in our administration,

and it's beyond, like, scary to me. Well, but apparently, according to Pentagon's, the real reason is

1:19.5

a bunch of idiots in the Pentagon had just spent $4 billion, and we're trying to develop spy balloons,

1:24.5

which is ridiculous. So just to annoy us, China sent one over us to let us know they already had it and it's worthless. It's just, it was just to make fun of our trying to create one now. Yeah, well, that's a theory, Mark, but that's, I think, giving them a pass. I think that's giving China a pass that they don't deserve. But anyway, that's my two cents. Yeah, no, but they definitely wanted us.

1:45.3

They definitely wanted us to catch it.

1:46.6

And we did just spend $4 billion in the last two years working on spy balloons, which are ridiculous.

1:52.4

Oh, well.

1:54.0

Moving along to George Santos.

1:57.3

I love George Santos.

1:59.6

I can't stand, George. I love this guy. No, he's got to resign. He's got to resign immediately. And your buddy, Kevin McCarthy, has to stop. I don't like Kevin. I hate Kevin McCarthy. Although he's not as bad as I thought he'd be, but I'm not a Kevin McCarthy fan.
