00:00Senator Marco Rubio spoke to ABC's This Week anchor Jonathan Carl about the Chinese spy balloon, which was shot down
00:08off the coast of South Carolina.
00:10In a tense interaction, Rubio criticized President Joe Biden for not acting sooner and questioned why he didn't inform the
00:17American public.
00:19I think it really would have been helpful for the President of the United States to get on national television
00:23and explain to the American people, this is what we're dealing with, this is what I'm going to do about
00:27it, and this is why I haven't done it yet.
00:29None of that happened, and I don't know why, in effect, I don't know why they waited so long to
00:33tell people about this, and if they knew the trajectory that it was on, it seems, from late last week.
00:40Immediately after, Carl was quick to mention former President Trump did not disclose three different sightings of Chinese balloons during
00:48his presidency.
00:49And we're also told, by the way, that this happened three times under the previous president.
00:54Obviously, there were no public notifications there.
00:57Senator Rubio, thank you for joining us.
00:59We really appreciate your time.
