finally, xi jinping -- i've been barred from going there by the ccp. xi jinping and the ccp systematically murder, jail, torture, persecute their own citizens, and as we all know it does pose an existential threat in the region and the united states. we need to up our game and mitigate the threat to our own people. americans deserve better and this resolution is asking the tough questions so that happens. i yield back. >> the gentleman's time is reserved. >> i'm please to yield two minutes to the gentlelady from california. >> thank you for yielding and for your leadership on the foreign affairs committee. i rise in strong support of this resolution condemning the chinese commonest parties use of high-altitude surveillance balloons over u.s. territory as a brazen violation of u.s. sovereignty and international norms. the bloom has been shot down, and i thank those who bravely completed the mission. however, many questions remain, an intelligence reports show what we all knew. this was neither a coincidence or something to be taken lightly. there survei

the balloon said to be sending data back to the ccp in realtime the as it traveled, but the ccp's brazenness does the not stop there. now it is the claiming that it is now reserving the right to further reaction because of its so-called discontent with the u.s.' reaction to the surveillance balloon. joining me right now with the impact to america and what the u.s.' response should be to china's surveillance balloon is the ranking member of the senate homeland security committee. he is a member of the senate foreign affairs committee, he is kentucky senator rand paul. senator, thanks very much for being here this morning. >> good morning. maria: first, a word on china's response. what could they do given the fact that they are reserving the right for further reaction? >> you know, i think it's appalling. if they want to let us know that it's an accident, don't you think they would want to apologize? the fact that they've already got their back up and they're resisting and talking about retaliation doesn't sound like much of an apology. if there is an innocent explanation for this -- and it do

want to bring to everyone's attention is that just at the same time we are very concerned about the ccp going after chinese origin people here, we have to make sure that in our conversations about chinese origin people we don't engage in any ster he owe typing or questioning people's loyalty. skp one of my colleagues unfortunately attacked, judy chu, the first chinese american congresswoman in the united states congress, saying that somehow she's not loyal to the united states. i find that offensive as an asian american myself. i want to hear republicans also echo that sentiment that i just made because we have to make sure that in our conversations in the committee, we stay out of xenophobia and make sure we keep the focus on the chinese communist party. >> this was a bipartisan agreement to create the committee but house progressives voiced concerns because of what you said. the vice chair of the asian american caucus fear it will feed into bigotry. how do you stop your work from being distorted? >> i would like to say i'm hoping that the chairman will echo my sentiments with regards

too many universities are desperate for ccp money. they started enforcing somethinu called section 117 of the higher education act which requires disclosure of gifts in excess oi $250,000. they discover $6.5 billion worth of previously undisclosed donations. administrationd. came into office, suddenly those disclosures stopped.d the chinese money spigot stoppet or they are simply not enforcinu that section of the law.ly y invariably you find a connection to the united front work department or some ccp official tied to that money. it comes with strings attached. we have to enforce the law.t ofa lot of the institutes amidst previous crackdown simply rename themselves to get away from thea scrutinyca. we have to protect our academic freedom and our students,si particularly chinese students bh the chinese communist party. >> was this a trial balloon to see what capabilities america has as china starts coming up with this specific plan to go into taiwan? ther ce is been open sourcee co reporting that china will invade taiwan within the com

you know the ccp up close and personal. you witnessed how you they came into hong kong and threw freedom fighters in jail including jimmy lai. your thoughts on the surveillance program from communist china. >> i think china is really trying to figure out how to make the best of a bad situation. i mean, they've had h this surveillance program for some time of course. now they've been called out. it seems that the balloons have been floating over the country during the previous administration as well as this one but i think what's interesting is how china's gone from being contrite and apologetic at first to lying, of course, and now trying to take the initiative and be aggressive an i think china's really confused and xi jinping is not about to fall from power but he's facing a lot of difficult he at thises right you now. i hope -- difficulties right now. i hope the biden administration keeps pressure on him. there's talk of secretary of state blinken meeting with his chinese counter part in munich this weeks. i think china

isn't the ccp the chinese communist party which sent that flight to monitor the u.s. nuclear facility is in at the ccp who covered up the covid-19 pandemic and killed 1 million americans why aren't we feeling like we are worried that the relationship got damaged. >> is absolutely amazing that the biden administration would constantly posture from a position weakness rather than place american position of strength, strength is what china appreciates that's the way we need to appreciate the dresser 0 credibility and sense joe biden took office, china is taking this to the bank by floating a balloon across the entire united states of america they were testing us. they were testing us to see what our result would be i wonder what would happen should the news publication had not need this public. taking the photo up the presidency i began to wonder what is going on in this administration. maria: not only that they very successfully change the conversation to the enormity of what we just witnessed to this is happened before and china has a whole string of balloons that they

can they just do no wrong, the ccp to america? >> well, according to this administration the ccp is not doing wrong. under president trump and mike pompeo, the ccp would not have done this. evil, russia, iran, north -- noh korea. you look at what has happened with the ccp propping up the russian army with navigation equipment and and helping them n fight against ukraine. it's an unsavorily bunch of characters. we will not tolerate this, it is dangerous. what they are doing is dangerous and the spy balloon has become emblematic of this place, inappropriate and dangerous foreign policy of this administration. maria: hopefully the least of it is emblematic and not much more damaging than anybody knows given the fact that it was likely sending data back in realtime over military installs where there are nuclear silos. the white house is rejecting report from pulitzer prize journalist that says the navy destroyed the north stream two pipeline. utah senator mike lee twitted this. i'm troubled that i can't rule out that the suggestion th

playing along with what is clearly a ccp information op narrative. we should not be echoing it and we shouldn't be forgiving it. the chinese need to understand, the ccp needs to understand there are consequences with their actions for us and unfortunately the message getting sent from america is that there is none so you lose out on deterrence. maria: john. >> something that -- this administration tracked when it was launched and into air space and we didn't find out about it because there was a press conference we found about it because it came to visible air space and someone in montana took a picture and then they said, well, okay, there might be some kind of a balloon and later learned that there was a planned meeting between secretary blinken and the chinese that they didn't want to disrupt and this could be disruptive and if it hadn't come to visible air space we might not have known about it. maria: the question of whether or not this president is compromised keeps coming up because of all of this. they could do no wrong. >> for both parties t

is it more chinese officials tied to the ccp? >> well, that's the problem, we don't know. i think that the white house really bungled this when there were questions raised about hunter biden selling these paintings for, you know, as a first-time painter for up to $500,000 each. and so their solution at the white house was to just make it nontransparent so that nobody knew who the, who the buyers were. so, yes, again it opens them up. again it shows this incredible arrogance from the biden family and from joe biden in particular to say, you know, i'm honest joe. he said that on the debate stage against donald trump. he said you know my character, you know his character, you know that i'm known for my honesty. who do you trust. well, unfortunately for him, i think the mythology of honest joe is crumbling before our eyes. there are, you know, undisputable lies that he's told. it's a terrible thing to say about a president, but it's the obvious. in particular when it comes to his involvement in his family's business dealings. we know, it's recorded that he met with at least a

we're going to make sure that our agricultural farmland is not purchased by the ccp. we've got a bill now through on a bipartisan basis that i will sign that will keep china from buying our agricultural farmland, particularly next to our nationally strategic assets like the pentagon and quantico and the largest naval base in the world. we're going to keep these assets safe, we're going to maybe sure that tiktok isn't going to be the used for surveillance with virginia government employees. and, maria, we went to work to fully understand what was going on between ford and a company that is not just influenced, but controlled by the chinese communist party and to not allow them to use a trojan horse structure to gain access to taxpayer incentives that were put into the inflation reduction act. now, this is using taxpayer money to further enrich a chinese company at the expense of america, and it's just not happening in virginia, and i'm proud to say that we have now seen bipartisan legislators standing up on this issue and asking very difficult questions as they should.

. >> congress has come together in a rare moment of bipartisanship to unanimously vote to condemn ccp's action. look, this was no ordinary helium filled good will balloon floating around the u.s. air spaces. this was directly organized and orchestrated operated by ccp trying to test the resolve and the leadership of the united states and the world. i am glad to see that we came together to condemn this action and show that we are going to get some answers because while the balloon was shut down, there'd be more questions than we started when we first identified on january 8 and questions like why didn't we shut it down because it's identified it was entering the united states in the air space and going to shut it down in the water, why not in the beginning of the pacific ocean rather than waiting a week later allowing ccp to collect more information and then shut it down on the other side of the atlantic ocean and there's more questions to get to try and get answers to and make sure that united states is not going to tolerate any type of this adversary behavior coming from ccp. ashley:

however we should know ccp government intentionally made it to go all over the world to kill millions of people all over the world later. >> tucker: we just have to hope and pray that you will be interviewed by many other journalists in this country over the coming weeks now that this has been confirmed, you're an eyewitness you have a credible story to tell and i hope you're no longer ignored.

the ccp has a massive espionage and influence apparatus. not just something happening in the pacific, it is happening here in all 50 states. the president could have talked about that and used it to galvanize bipartisan action to do simple smart thing line ban ccp land purchases in america and get rid of the ccp police stations operating on american soil. >> dana: the other thing that's strange is you do have a bipartisan consensus. look at the reaction to the committee that you and your democratic counterpart are putting together. there is a support for you both. there is an excitement let's get this going and talk about this and do this. the president wanted to talk about unity last night. there is a way to do that. we can unify together against an adversary. last word to you. >> the president fell back in his old rhetorical trap of saying we seek cooperation on certain issues. listen, the idea the chinese communist party will cooperate with us is a meaningful way on climate change is a fantasy creating incoherence and preventing us from

is in this the preamble to the ccp going into taiwan? what are you expecting in terms of a potential invasion there, and how will the u.s. also be affected, in your view? >> yeah, my job so to analyze and report, message. i think the motivation can and intent's clear here. they want to get imagery, get intelligence on our military capability, particularly nuclear. and they're building quite a nuclear stockpile themselves. why do they want to do? well, they're preparing -- if they don't win the elections in taiwan next january -- they are preparing for a military conflict. and they're trying to collect information about our military capabilities in the united states in preparation for that conflict. there's no question about it my mind -- in my mind. and that's why that balloon was so dangerous, and it was so dangerous for the president to allow it to go forward once it entered u.s. air space around alaska. it should have been immediately shot down. it was not. and now the damage is severe in terms of compromising national security. he ca

maria: how much more damage can the ccp do to america with no repercussions. they unleashed a virus that killed 1 million americans and then they covered it up and they still won't allow investigation into the origins of covid-19 and the wuhan lab and it seems like joe biden is okay with that. >> he is okay with it because it ended the day he doesn't care about the american people he cares about his family making money and he can compromise the relationships that he has with the chinese communist party which is evident in all the evidence that we stated the laptop, hunter biden in testimony from guys like bob belinsky who says he was the big guy getting the 10%. he is compromised and is can allow the chinese communist party to do whatever they want and lie to the american people about what is actually happ happening. maria: this is incredibly disturbing, where is the media on this. this is disgusting aside from a few of us no one is covering a compromised influence peddling operation in the white house. congressman thank you very much we will keep a spotlight
