Chinese spy balloon news and the absurdity of the U.S. response

• Was the Chinese spy balloon a real surveillance threat, and why did the U.S. shoot it down with a missile instead of towing it down?

The hosts walk through the Chinese spy balloon saga: Montana spotting it first, the Baymax comparisons, and the bafflement that China would use a visible non-propelled balloon when satellites and phones harvest data far better. They mock the American response — shooting it down with a Sidewinder missile over the ocean instead of towing it down over Montana — and spin conspiracy jokes (Jeff Bezos, Putin, Hunter's laptop being on the balloon). The balloon was 200 feet tall, about a 20-story building, at 60,000 feet.
