Rep. Michael McCaul: Chinese Spy Balloon Was an Act of Espionage

"Here's the chairman of the House foreign affairs committee, congressman Michael McCall, with Maria bartiromo yesterday on Fox News. He says, 5 balloons have great capability to gather and collect intelligence. I would argue more so than even satellites in the sense that they're flying it say 40 to 60,000 feet above the earth, the imagery that they can capture and other intelligence data that I can't be specific about can be captured and then transmitted back to the mothership in Beijing. They have control over these balloons. This was an act of espionage and plain sight plain view of the American people. I know there have been reports of prior ones, but none quite like this. And the reason why this one is so damaging is I do a damage assessment about what really happened that day, this balloon went over three of our most sensitive nuclear sites. One being in Montana that runs the triad that's air land and sea nuclear strikes and counter strikes that went over our strategic command in Omaha, Nebraska, where our biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons exist I mean, don't you think that Biden should be addressing the American people about a blatant act of espionage? From the communist Chinese party?

"When Daniel Shaw plays just like Johnny Russell, but in a slightly different way, he's an absolute game changer. He's just extremely hard for defenders to deal with. I think this is the last year of his contract. Charlie, you should know that because we talked about this on the last show and I brought it up. Oh my God. So I said, I said they should trade him and money for Jackson Mendes because he's interested. But I dismissed that because it was so absurd. Yeah. Why is it upset? That's absurd. They can't lose they can't lose, shall we? We have talked about the tanking. I know, but that was like that was year when Allen polito is healthy and Gotti kind is healthy, would they be better if they had Daniel shallowly or Jackson Mendez and their team? Well, first of all, those first two healthy things are big ifs. Second of all, more productive, better player than either of those two guys in MLS over the last two seasons. If they're not healthy and they're on this roster, they're not wearing why are you on why are you so on Jackson Mendez? I think it's a fit for both teams. I think I love him. He's an Ecuadorian full international going to a World Cup. They have 97 defensive mids. It could be Andres Pereira, I'm not as high on him, but fine. And the other thing is Orlando needs, I think. Another option out wide unless you want pot to run your attack for longer. So I thought it was a fit for all teams. That's all. We didn't even know shallow was in the final year of his deal. I was just trying to create a little conversation. He's going to go to Europe. He's going to go. That's the deal. He's going? What would you do if you're in Kansas City? What would you do if you're a Daniel show? Well, there's nothing you can do anymore if you're Kansas City. Well, you could offer him a contract, a bigger. The point is he's now in this space where he can sign a pre contract, right? Entering this summer window, which means for Kansas City they should have done their work already. And I think that's something we probably need to dig in on more of like why they haven't. It's dangerous to let a player like this of this quality and this importance. Get into this situation. My guess is, as you know from riding the salary tray and up and down, two years ago, it wasn't great. That's normally when you make the decision, last year it was great and I wonder if shallow he said, I'll trust myself, then because I'm already coming into my contract here. Yeah, and then he can get signed and loaned back to MLS. Charlie just loves to have that one debate. We'll get there, Charlie. Just up where I just look it up with the email list players salaries over at the players union shall always guaranteed comp is in the 500 K range. So if you're Daniel Shaw, you would think asking for a good bit more than that. He can be a freed free agent nonetheless, right? He's over 24. Okay. You know, I'm not good with agents. That's a big win for sporting kids city. They stay alive. They got union Omaha coming up. We didn't really talk about Sacramento. Should we quickly hit that as well? They won the helicopter to nothing. All I have here is it's a pitiful performance from the quakes. Rodrigo Lopez, awesome to see him score a goal. What loose Felipe I think is a former quakes guy..

"Yeah, I think ownership groups taking their club seriously, creating an environment players want to come to. At that level, you've seen players give up some money to be in some markets because the fan base, the way the club manages themselves, like players want to be a part of that. You didn't Omaha's building that. Some of these other clubs are building that. So I think that really matters. I'd also say, I think that I can't remember his name now. I was scored the game winner came out of the revs academy. I know the starting goalkeeper came through Red Bull two and right to dream academy. I still think we will always miss some of the best players in this region because it's so.

"At home, yes. It is embarrassing. I think if you're playing at home and you have some of these players who knew, I think his overall salary is more than what union Omaha plays there. I mean it's the complete team. The complete team, that's probably their budget for multiple seasons. Yeah. It is embarrassing. Multiple seasons looks like I don't want to get one or two. I'm saying multiple seasons probably because I think he makes like 2.5 or 6. 2.5255. I will say I will say that I don't want to disrespect you, you know, 'cause they're balling. They're playing with belief. They're making the most of what they have. And they're playing with a lot of just inspiration. But for Minnesota United, how many times do we have to get after them? What they have, the stadium that they have, the culture that's around the team, the talent that they have within the team, this is below average, and that's putting it politely for Minnesota United. Across the board, no consistency, when you have players just saying there's just a number of guys who are just in it who don't want it. The player selection has been so poor at times. The results so poor, up and down, up and down. You have Emmanuel reynoso star. We know that. But what have you done to give him a real opportunity to win the league to win MLS cup? Ah, I'm just, I get so frustrated when I talk about Minnesota United because they should be winning things. The stadium's incredible, the fans are incredible. Or barring winning thing takes competing. Can I just competing to win things? Yeah, but they should be winning things. Even bass competing. And they're losing a union Omaha at home. Can I ask do you think his comments, Michael boxhall were pointed at teammates or at management?.

But it's a lie, it's completely the opposite. Florida is a free state, then a seed is a free state. Mississippi is a free state, Alabama. Whoever is governed almost always accept Massachusetts, which is a state of mostly foolish people. And people are people are freer in those places. We are freer in America, Canada.

Leadership Lessons from a US Army General Maj Gen John Gronski (retd) - burst 11

"A gunnery. Sergeant michael burkhart was the who was the explosive ordinance disposal team leader went down to that site with two young marines and they were going to conduct a post blast analysis to determine a tactics techniques procedures insurgents. Were using so we could try to prevent these attacks from happening again in the future and when gunny burkhardt got down there with two young rains was chaotic. The soldiers were cisterna. Seen the ad that a chaos there were two reporters from the omaha world herald newspaper there there were embedded reporter so anyway going burkhard gets down. There sees the destroyed up. Armored humvee sees a crater near that up armored humvee bow four feet in diameter a couple of feet deep makes an assumption that that's for that roadside bomb that destroyed that humvee was placed jumps down into crater. Take a closer look as soon as he did that. He realized he made a mistake because he could see in the dirt in front of him to artillery shells. Red detonation cord running in the nose was a roadside bomb. That an insurgent have placed their so. He took his k bar knife. Cut the red debt. Detonation cord to neutralize that roadside bomb. He didn't see a third artillery shell into dirt behind him in that crater. An insurgent was off in the distance. Hit a button. On a that nation device that artillery shell exploded not going burkhardt about fifteen feet into the air lands on the dirt road unconscious pants soaked with blood. Our soldiers call a medevac helicopter. Ride away go up tomb start. Cut his pants off. Start tending to his boons after few minutes burkhart regains consciousness. The soldiers couldn't believe that and and he's laying there and he asked the soldiers if he has both of his legs because they had no no sensation from the waist down. They sure to me had both of his legs. They continue to work on 'em couple minutes later. He gets a tingling sensation in his legs. He tells the soldiers he wants to stand up. Soldiers couldn't believe that this guy had just gotten blown up and so we struggles to his feet. He standing there to soldiers around him. The medevac helicopter comes in lands on the ground behind them. The soldiers point to the stretcher On the ground in front of the misogony. We've got you know. Gotta put you on a stretcher and carry you to that helicopter. He looks at the soldiers and he says i'm not going to have you carry me that helicopter on a stretcher. I'm going to walk there under my own power. Because i don't want the insurgents of the pleasure of seeing me being carried that helicopter and easy. He says that he raises his hand into the air and gives the insurgents which i will call a one finger salute reporter reported from the omaha world heritage takes a picture of him standing there Groin protector. you know. In in front of his private area there. No pants on finger thrown up into the air soldiers around him. You'd say the helicopter the background. That picture became an iconic picture of the iraq war but what is deleted Point of the story. And the reason i tell this story and the reason. I think it's important. The leadership point of this story is member told you. He had two young marines with them that day. He knew he was going to have to recover from his wounds. He knew what all the roadside bomb attacks were getting that those two young marines were going to have to be out there probably later on that day routes realizing roadside bombs. The reason he wanted to walk to that helicopter instead of being carried there had nothing at all to do with what he thought and surgeons for thinking. He wanted to walk to that helicopter so we would not shatter the confidence of those too young marines. Pseudo leadership point is even after getting blown up ten minutes earlier. His main concern was not with his own wounds. His bank concern was with those two young marines. Who he was leading an isn't that what leadership is all about. And we talked about that looking out for the welfare of those you lead rather than your own welfare and that's exactly what gandhi burkhardt exemplified that day. And that's why. I like to tell that story that i read read that story. I had to read it again. Because i was laughing because i could just see i. I have friends who are marines right by the way. There's no such thing as an ex marine okay. the just doesn't exist. I've been told that countless times by my friend there's just no such thing they they may be quote unquote have retired at the end of their name. But they're still all. And and and i just thinking about them go. That's exactly what jimmy would. That's exactly what he would have done. That's what bob would have done. He would have done the same thing. I i can. Just see it. I just great story but it was truly the surprise in that lesson was not. I thought it was going to be resiliency. It is but the point is that he cared so much about making sure that those other two young marines were their that their mental emotional state was not shaken. Yeah and you know jay that think about this as leaders we face adversity almost every day in whatever organization were leading the some degree and and sometimes things get tough honest and the point is as a leader. You can't be thinking. I'm an figuratively. I'll use this. You know you can't be thinking. I'm cold i i'm hungry. You know i. I'm shivering right. No you you've got to show those you're leading that you know what i've got the resiliency to overcome this. And because i do you have the resiliency to overcome. They might be called. I might be hungry. I might be weak. But i'm going to take care of you before i take care of myself. And that's the essence of leadership. We underestimate the modeling of behavior. Don't we when it comes to leadership absolutely. Yeah and you know what the other thing i learned in my forty years of leading soldiers also leading teams in the business sector. Is the people you lead are always watching you practice. You know you could. You could put down in writing. What your leadership philosophy is or you could verbally give some guidance about behaviors. You're looking for but those you lead are going to be watching to see you. Know how do you adhere your own guidance. Behaviors that you're looking for you. Exemplify those behaviors and your followers are always watching and your actions speak so much larger than larger louder than your words. Do

"So i appreciate you sharing your love during a very difficult time last question post pandemic you and your family have probably more experience In the dining at home eating out delivery been than anyone else in our country What are your expectations in that realm of dining at home eating out in delivery so one of the things that we saw during the pandemic and i think you mentioned in your lead into the question is that many families either discovered or rediscovered the joy of cooking at home with their family. And i know that. That was true for me. Because i was able to get my kids involved in grilling as an example which they hadn't really taken much of an interest before but there wasn't that much else to do and so you know they were. They were willing to engage with their dad. You know how to cook a steak and that was really fun and so I believe that what we're gonna see a going forward. And we've already got some indications of this from some research we've done is that is that consumers are going to continue to cook at home They're gonna start expanding the footprint and having larger gatherings while some consumers are anxious to get out myself included They're gonna be. They're going to be getting out But they're also going to be entertaining at home maybe for larger groups because even now when you get out you know you can't it's hard to show up at a restaurant with eight or ten people. You don't have a really great experience but that's really easy to do at home. It's very controlled is really fun and and people learn during the pandemic that there's a lot that's super convenient about being home. You don't have to get ready. You've already got the omaha steaks in your freezer. You've got a grill. Your friends can walk over. I mean all of that stuff sort of combined makes it makes for a very rewarding experience. The kids can play together and run around and not have to worry about the the confines of of a restaurant..

We have this pandemic and i can't think of a better business that was situated for the pandemic The company that you know since the fifties have been delivering food to your door with high quality How did you navigate the pandemic and what types of things did you know. That occurred that i may not be thinking of that. Actually weren't voting in your favor right so we were humbled and honored to be able to serve so many of our customers during the pandemic. Obviously when when when two things happen you know food. Supplies became scarce and people were in many times required to stay home. That was obviously a perfect place for us to be. We also Just it was really kind of a coincidence. We happen to have a fair amount of inventory on hand at that moment because we basically manufacturer as we buy as we get opportunities to buy a great raw materials so we had. We had good inventory as we went into the end of march of last year So all of that combined to be very helpful and and put us in a position to be there for american families who you needed us at that moment and one of the best ways we responded was to make was to take the guesswork out of it and to give our customers what they wanted which was a quick stock of their freezer so that they just had one less thing to worry about and i think taking that sort of mental overhead away from our customers is one of the things. I'm most proud of a during the pandemic because you know people had so many things to think about whether it's where my kids going to school however my parents and maybe somebody's sick you know and just.

"Our deliveries and one of the things that was always super important to us and my dad realized early on when we first started the business or the mail order. Business was that in order to get people over the hump to actually buy it We needed offer a one hundred percent satisfaction guarantee and that became kind of the touchstone because not only was it amazing of a claim to make to our customers. Hey look you're going to be thrilled. If you're not thrilled we're going to give you your money back to simple as that but it was also rallying cry internally really motivated our team both in producing the stakes and also shipping them on that we knew that our customers always had the ability to put that product back to us and we always had to make sure that the product exceeded their expectations. So that wouldn't happen and so it really was a great motivator internally for us to say we stand behind this but the name of the family behind it and that was a way to get consumers over the hump and of course since that time food deliveries become ubiquitous. Absolutely not not ubiquitous in the mid fifties and really not even ubiquitous in the mid nineties. So you know when the internet started come along you know. We were faced with another challenge of how to make sure that we're talking to that online customer and And convincing them that taking a chance with hostage was a good idea. I use a i do a lot of speeches to nba schools and entrepreneurial schools ports bandaged schools. But i use omaha steaks. The story that i heard about the best eight hundred dollars a company could spend and it was about a story that i heard from omaha steaks that somebody's freezer went out. No fault of yours at all..

"Begun coming up on veterans. Chronicles will detail the rest of davita service much of it half a world away against a different enemy. This is veterans chronicles. I'm greg columbus. This week we're sharing the story of frank devito. A coast guard veteran of world war. Two who served in both the european and pacific theaters and crew a higgins boat at omaha beach in the early hours of june sixth nineteen forty after taking allied troops ashore on d day frank davita and the crew of the uss samuel chase shipped out to the mediterranean in august of nineteen forty. Four davita helped bring troops ashore in the much lesser known invasion of southern france. Code-named operation dragoon. These landings were much less brutal than d. Day as the majority of the german troops in france had been moved north to hold off the allies in normandy on one beach. Allied troops were greeted not by gunfire but by an old frenchman who is giving out bottles of fresh wine to the soldiers after operation. Dragoon davita thought he was going home but the military had other plans after all are of the to invasions in france. We we were going on then. The and also watt speakers. Get your gear in order. We're going to the pacific. And i didn't make the actual invasion of the philippine islands. Bring replacement juice into the philippine. So we got credit for them in october of nineteen forty four general douglas macarthur and the american sixth army landed on later in the philippines as part of the pacific island hopping campaign as american forces. Inched closer and closer to japan. The fighting grew and brutality both on land and at sea where the japanese deployed new weapon the kamikaze and then from there. We live to okinawa. And i was in okinawa when the kamikazes came over the kamikazes seek a boat after they didn't want my both my boys only transport They wanted this choice. And the aircraft carriers while the brutal fighting on okinawa raged for nearly three months from april until june nineteen forty. Five kamikazes inflicted huge casualties on the supporting fleet.

John was quartermaster at his job was to put the bodies in body bags and he dispense fusion the dead body bags the battle for omaha ultimately claimed the lives of more than twenty four hundred american servicemen but by the end of the day more than thirty four thousand troops had landed on the beach and advanced inland securing.

Davita and his boat returned to their ship. They my boat. I don't remember border. Let's go the twenty eight gun. They brought my boat up. And i looked at that apple. It looked like swiss cheese.

"Beyond the beach. Thousands of men from the first twenty ninth infantry divisions were pinned to the ground behind a small sand embankment called the shingle if the german guns atop the ridge could not be silenced. None of the men taking cover behind the shingle would make it off omaha. Beach alive davita and the men on board. The ships offshore looked on at the carnage unable to help until one brave skipper of destroyer hatched a plan it was five destroys but the was the frankford and then one of the others shows the sadly within the mcgurk so the three of them came in at the same time. When you take an enemy attack is knows. Because as the smallest silhouette he did that and he came so close to shore. You all both can go on a beach. Destroy has a keel. They can't get too close. He was saying so then he is something i've never seen done before. This guy was willing to sacrifice his life and his boat and all his men because they want to help these guys on the beach so we took his boat that was facing this way and he turned his sideways exposing his beam to the. It's the reason he did that. Destroy us for five inch guns. He wanted to find these five inch guns at one time. The guys up on the hill they were facing us machine eighty s because they were the grass formulas and stuff like that so we put around of his gun for the time. Took out those guys on the on the slope and right in there about started changing one by one. The german guns began to fall silent however the battle for omaha beach was not yet one. Small groups of american troops began scaling. The bluffs all the while dodging a torrent of german machine gun and rifle fire after hours of brutal combat. The german beach defenses gradually fell to the american forces as the battle on shore began to move away from the beach. Davita and the coast guardsmen. Had even more difficult work to do the way we ran out of troops so we started thinking twenty ninth division because the twenty ninth division was a new and you thought that time was clean so they swung over to help the first division. That's the first five..

"Care about what's happened to the american public care about our health because the first thing you wanna do and think about dr fao choose will but He served this country for many years. But do you have trust and the number one thing you need in that position is trust and i just think the number of positions he has taken. He's locked the trust of the american public. And we have a real challenge where we did not invite this virus to this to america but we go to defeat it with the ingenuity of american warp speed regardless of what president biden says vaccine was created long before he was in office And what we should do is get to the truth. The american public deserve the truth. And i think dr fauci should come four. And why was he saying. One thing when you look at the fda commissioner godly what why would he say one thing those in government and another to the public. I mean it's almost like the world health organization. Can you imagine the first action of this new administration under bike was to give money to the world. health organization. don't hold them accountable for. Don't hold them accountable.

You've got china Not expanding but worried about where america's growing before you got russia and you gotta america energy independent i think that's all stems. From the policies of donald trump and donald trump is going to continue to be a voice of this and donald. Trump's gonna help us win the majority policies outstanding before we run. Do you have any public events. Here.
