#shorts a reporter asked White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby, “it defies reason that you would have zero idea what these three objects were since the fighter jets themselves took video of their sorties. Will you release the cockpit videos from those missions?

MR. KIRBY: I’d have to refer you to DOD on that, James, in terms of releasing the imagery. I never said we had zero idea. I said we don’t know what they are, and so did the President. The President also told you that the intelligence community’s leading explanations at this point are that they were benign purpose, probably commercial recreation or scientific research …

Reporter: So, you have tried to portray this entire sequence of events as one in which the Commander-in-Chief demonstrated good judgment at the right time and did the right things. The President’s critics obviously see it differently. And what they depict is a Commander-in-Chief who, according to a Washington Post reporting, was able to track this Chinese spy balloon from the inception of its mission off of Hainan Island, all the way to U.S. airspace and across the country.

On 2/17/2023, John Kirby told reporters that Biden launched a $439,000 missile to pop a $12 balloon near Alaska — but insisted that it was “exactly the right thing to do” either way. Kirby faced the press one day after the Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade said its silver party-style balloon may have been one of three unidentified objects that Biden ordered shot down this past weekend.
