Texas Rep. Michael McCaul joined ‘Sunday Morning Futures’ to discuss the Chinese surveillance mission that floated over sensitive U.S. locations, warning of the Chinese CCP‘s growing aggression and threat to national security.

FORMER ARMY SECRETARY URGES US TO ‘WAKE UP’ AND ‘PREPARE FOR THE WORST’ AGAINST CHINESE AGGRESSION

REP. MICHAEL MCCAUL: …You know, this was an act of espionage in 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. It went over our strategic command in Omaha, Nebraska, where our biggest stockpile of nuclear weapons exists. It’s so sensitive that after 911, President Bush was actually escorted from the White House to this strategic command position. And then finally in Missouri, the B-2 bombers site. This was not by accident, it was by design. I think the Chinese Communist Party had this air flight pattern already set forth prior to its flight.

 … I think the motivation 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 this? Well, they’re preparing. If they don’t, when 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 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 introduced airspace 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 can’t secure our borders, but now he can’t secure our airspace over the United States of America.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen has reportedly emerged as the likely next head coach of the Colts.

Steichen and the Colts still reportedly need to finalize some details, but a contract cannot be agreed upon until after Super Bowl LVII on Sunday. Indianapolis has informed other finalists that they are no longer being considered for the job, according to ESPN.

Just a few years ago, Philly hired former Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni to be their head coach. 

Sirianni has credited Frank Reich as one of the coaches who have had the biggest impact on him during their time together in Indy.

EAGLES’ OWNER JEFFREY LURIE CALLS DECISION TO PART WAYS WITH ANDY REID OVER A DECADE AGO ‘EXTREMELY DIFFICULT’

Reich was the star assistant coach during the Eagles’ run to the Super Bowl in 2017. He took the reins as the Colts‘ head coach in 2018. 

He was fired after a Week 9 loss to the Patriots and a 3-5-1 start to the season. Team owner Jim Irsay decided to replace Reich with Jeff Saturday on an interim basis. Saturday was once considered a strong candidate for the full-time job.

If Steichen and the Colts reach a deal, the Eagles would be expected to have his replacement already on their coaching staff, according to sources.

The Eagles would likely elevate quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson to the offensive coordinator role should Steichen finalize the deal.

Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka have also completed interviews with Arizona.

Under the 37-year-old Steichen, the Eagles offense finished the season third in yards per game and scoring average. Six players on the offensive side of the ball were named to the Pro Bowl.

The Federal Aviation Administration has abruptly canceled a “national defense airspace” over part of Lake Michigan, the organization announced Sunday.

The FAA says it closed down the area to allow the U.S. military to examine a “potential contact” that was soon determined to not be a threat. The FAA last established a national defense airspace over Montana this weekend in reaction to an unidentified flying object.

“Pilots who do not adhere to the following [procedure] may be intercepted, detained and interviewed by law enforcement or security personnel,” the FAA wrote in an initial Sunday announcement, adding that such pilots may face deadly force in the air.

“The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened,” the FAA wrote in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The FAA ended its traffic ban over Montana later Saturday, with NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) releasing a statement indicating that the object was only a radar anomaly.

Nevertheless, Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., released a statement on Twitter saying that NORTHCOM (U.S. Northern Command) believes there is an object above the state that is not an anomaly.

“I am in constant communication with NORCOM (sic) and they have just advised me that they have confidence there IS an object and it WAS NOT an anomaly. I am waiting now to receive visual confirmation. Our nation’s security is my priority,” he wrote Sunday.

REPUBLICANS REACT TO THIRD ‘OBJECT’ SHOT DOWN OVER CANADA: ‘UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE’

NORAD had issued a statement Saturday saying that it “detected a radar anomaly and sent fighter aircraft to investigate.”

“Those aircraft did not identify any object to correlate to the radar hits. NORAD will continue to monitor the situation,” the statement continued.

The U.S. has shot down three aircraft over North America in the past week, with the first being a Chinese spy balloon off the coast of South Carolina on Feb. 4. The second and third are believed to have been smaller balloons, which were shot down over Alaska and Canada, respectively.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman said a Memphis man who was fatally beaten by Black police officers was “killed by white supremacy” and “America” in a recent fundraising email by his re-election campaign.

“Tyre Nichols should be alive today. Instead, like so many others he was killed by police. Killed by white supremacy. Killed by America,” read the campaign email sent Monday on behalf of the New York Democrat, the New York Post first reported. 

“This is Black terror,” the email said. “We feel it everyday. We feel it more today. Too many victims to name. Too much hurt to explain. Too many tears, too normalized, too numb. From 1619 to the present day we live in a constant state of terror.”

Nichols, who was Black, died after he was brutally beaten by five now-former officers with the Memphis Police Department during a traffic stop.

TYRE NICHOLS’ DEATH: FORMER MEMPHIS COP TOOK AND SHARED PHOTOS OF BLOODIED VICTIM

Demetrius Haley, Tadarrius Bean, Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III and Justin Smith are charged with second-degree murder in the Jan. 7 beating.

All the ex-officers except Bean have infractions in their work records ranging from using physical force during an arrest to failing to report a domestic violence incident.

All five were also named in a lawsuit and accused of beating a Black Army veteran days before their encounter with Nichols.

TYRE NICHOLS DEATH: MEMPHIS OFFICIALS SAY 8 ADDITIONAL POLICE OFFICERS COULD FACE DISIPLINE

In his fundraising email, Bowman claimed Nichols’ death is the result of an “operating system” that dehumanizes Black people.

“Police brutality happens in New York, in Memphis, in Los Angeles, in cities across the country, small towns across the country, and throughout American history,” the message read, according to the Post. “At the root of it is the dehumanization of Black people, people of color, and particularly Black men. This kind of white supremacy is not just about skin color, however: it’s about ideology. It’s the operating system on which too much of our society is based.”

“We need my fellow members of Congress and President Biden to provide historic leadership on this issue. We cannot maintain this status quo. We must lead for Black lives and lead for Black humanity,” added the email, which included a “Donate” link.

Bowman’s campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for further elaboration.

While the officers accused of killing Nichols are Black, progressives have claimed Nichols’ death can be blamed on White supremacy due to institutional racism that treats Black people as inferior.

The University of Minnesota’s Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity issued a statement arguing that “the killings, terror, and oppression are a direct result of anti-Black racist attitudes, policies, procedures, and leadership that pervade our institutions.”

Ben & Jerry’s, the progressive Vermont ice cream maker that routinely weighs in on social justice issues, argued that “the fact that the officers who murdered Tyre are Black shows how deeply embedded white supremacy is in American culture and specifically in policing.”

“You do not have to be white to act in service of white supremacy,” Ben & Jerry’s tweeted. “It is more powerful than any one individual or group of people, it is in the air we breathe and built into the systems that surround us.”

Earlier this month, Bowman, a member of the far-left “Squad” of House Democrats, and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., reintroduced the African American History Act in both the House and the Senate, which they said will increase awareness of “African American history through a social justice and anti-bias lens.”

“It is our moral imperative to tell the truth about our past to finally reconcile with this nation’s history of racism and white nationalism, and our legislation will serve as a vital component in our fight to do just that,” Bowman said in a press release.

A spokesperson for Bowman didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry from Fox News Digital.

A recently adopted Texas rescue dog ran away from her new owners and made a 10-mile trek back to her former animal shelter – where she rang the doorbell of the middle of the night. 

“As we knew, dogs are incredible,” the Animal Rescue League of El Paso posted on Facebook. “Bailey made her own way back to ARL, and rang our ring doorbell at 1:15am saying she wanted in. Staff rushed to the shelter and put Bailey in her run. She was very happy, and we were too.”

The rescue center put out an alert last month to ask El Paso residents to be on the lookout for Bailey, telling readers that she is a “very friendly” pup.

What the group and its adoptee family didn’t know at the time was that the husky mix was making a roughly 10-mile journey through busy intersections over a two-day span back to the animal rescue center, using only her nose and a mental map of the area, KARE 11 reported.

Bailey reached the center in the middle of the night and summoned her former caretakers by ringing the doorbell.

“I’ll be darn, at 1:42 in the morning she’s ringing the doorbell like, ‘I’m home,'” Loretta Hyde, founder of the league, told USA Today. “The Ring camera kept going off and off and off … and you’ll see in the video that she’s running out there, sitting, waiting for somebody to come.”

Bailey poses for the camera. (Animal Rescue League of El Paso)

When one of the other employees at the shelter saw the pup on the Ring camera, the worker said her name over the speaker, and “she went boom, right up to the camera,” Hyde recounted.

“‘I’m here, let me in, where are you?'” Hyde said of what must have been going through the dog’s mind when she rang the bell.

A staffer rushed over to the location to bring Bailey inside, and she slept all night, according to Hyde.

“She slept so hard the whole night,” Hyde said. “The next morning, she was like, ‘You can serve my breakfast over there. I’ll get it in a minute. I’m still resting.’ So, three days without food and water, I mean, she was making up for her rest.”

Bailey is now home with her new family.

“It was such a happy ending for all of us,” Hyde said.

The Federal Aviation Administration announced Saturday that it issued a temporary flight restriction over a portion of Montana shortly after an unidentified object was shot down over Canada and later said the restriction was lifted.

“The FAA closed some airspace in Montana to support Department of Defense activities,” the FAA told Fox News Digital in a statement on Saturday evening.

The airspace closed down was in the area around Havre, Montana not far from the U.S. border with Canada.

The FAA said the directive was “effective immediately until further notice.”

PENTAGON SAYS US DETECTED THIRD FLYING ‘OBJECT’ OVER ALASKA A DAY BEFORE SHOOTING DOWN OVER CANADA

Shortly after that announcement, the FAA said the airspace has been reopened but did not provide further details.

Montana Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale posted on Twitter that an “object” was spotted over Montana that could potentially interfere with commercial air travel. Rosendale posted after the restriction was lifted that he “will remain in contact with defense officials and share more information as it becomes available” because “Montanans deserve answers.”

U.S. Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont. also commented on the object that was found in Montana’s airspace this evening.

“I’m in direct contact with the Pentagon regarding the object in Montana’s airspace and will receive frequent updates,” Daines said. “Montanans still have questions about the Chinese spy balloon that flew over our state last week. I’ll continue to demand answers on these invasions of US airspace.”

REPUBLICANS REACT TO THIRD ‘OBJECT’ SHOT DOWN OVER CANADA: ‘UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGE’

Shortly after Rosendale’s tweet, NORAD issued a statement saying that it “detected a radar anomaly and sent fighter aircraft to investigate.”

“Those aircraft did not identify any object to correlate to the radar hits. NORAD will continue to monitor the situation,” the statement said.

The Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

News of the radar anomaly comes shortly after an unknown object was shot down by a U.S. military fighter jet over Canada in a joint NORAD operation between Canada and the United States.

The object was the third object to be shot down by a U.S. owned F-22 Raptor in the last week.

On Friday, an unidentified object of an unknown origin was shot down in northern Alaska in an incident that came roughly a week after a Chinese surveillance balloon was shot down off the coast of South Carolina.

The military fly-over at Super Bowl LVII will commemorate 50 years of women flying in the U.S. Navy and will show off the electronic capabilities of the elite aircraft, military officials announced.

Three U.S. Navy tactical aircraft squadrons will fly over State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona immediately following the playing of the National Anthem on Sunday, Feb. 12.

Lt. Naomi Ngalle, who will be one of the pilots participating in the flyover, told Fox News Digital that she was honored to be among those selected to represent the Navy in celebrating 50 years since the first eight women began flight school in Pensacola, Florida.

“I am humbled and proud to be a part of a team of professional aviators and maintainers. All of the people on this team represent the hard work and sacrifice that comes with serving in the Armed Forces,” Ngalle said. “Additionally, I am elated at the opportunity to potentially inspire the next generation of female aviators and maintainers.”

She added: “Truly, there is no greater honor.”

As for her inspirations, Lt. Ngalle said her mother is her biggest fan.

“My mother has always been my number one supporter. She has always encouraged me to reach beyond my perceived limits. My siblings and nephew additionally have been my foundation and support system since my acceptance to the Naval Academy,” the Naval Flight Officer said.

The 2023 commemoration comes 50 years after the first women enrolled in the U.S. Navy flight program in 1973. Six of the eight initial enrollees, titled “The First Six,” earned their Wings of Gold the following year.

“The First Six” consisted of Lt. Cmdr. Barbara Allen Rainey, Captain Rosemary Bryant Mariner, Captain Jane Skiles O’dea, Captain JoEllen Drag-Oslund, Captain Judith Neuffer, and Captain Ana Marie Scott.

Lt. Ngalle said these women inspire her “daily” as “the level of adversity they faced in training was insurmountable.”

“Their professionalism and perseverance serves as the framework for the standard I strive to maintain and exude when leading the next generation of aviators and maintainers,” she said.

Following their leadership, in the decades since, women have served, sacrificed, led, operated, and fought at every level of Naval Aviation.

Like the “First Six,” Lt. Ngalle said she too has had to overcome obstacles along her journey to becoming a successful pilot.

“Flight training is challenging. To be frank, there were events where I didn’t meet the mark. Coping with failure and utilizing it as a tool to take away feedback and improve yourself for the next evolution was a skill I had difficulty developing,” she explained. “Once I understood the value of failing in training, it opened my aperture to how much more tactical I could be to better defend the Nation.”

The flyover formation will include two F/A-18F Super Hornets from the “Flying Eagles” of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 122 and an F-35C Lightning II from the “Warhawks” of VFA-97, both squadron personnel based at Naval Air Station (NAS) in Lemoore, California.

They will be joined by an EA-18G Growler from the “Vikings” of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129 based at NAS Whidbey Island in Oak Harbor, Washington.

A full list of the Super Bowl flyover team is below.

The aircraft that will be used in the flyover represent the strike and electronic attack capability of the “Carrier Air Wing of the Future,” providing advanced technology and enhanced flexibility to our military combatant commanders, the Navy said in said a statement.

Lt. Katie Martinez, a Naval Flight Officer, said she looks forward to representing Naval Aviation at one of the world’s most-watched events, according to the Naval Air Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet.

“It’s not a feeling I can even put into words,” said Martinez. “It doesn’t get bigger than the Super Bowl, and I am humbled and honored to be able to participate with my friends and fellow Naval Aviators as part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”

The U.S. Pacific Fleet said the “fifth-generation strike fighter F-35C Lightning II integrates advanced stealth technology into a highly agile, supersonic aircraft that provides unprecedented battlespace awareness, versatility and survivability.”

“The F-35C, which is the Navy variant of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, sets new standards in weapon system integration, maintainability, combat radius and payload that bring formidable multimission power projection capability from the sea,” it added.

And: “Entering fleet service in 1999, The F/A-18 Super Hornet, has earned a reputation as the backbone of the Navy’s carrier air wing and a workhorse within the fleet, continuing its key strike fighter role against the advanced threats of the 21st century. Designed to meet current Navy fighter escort and interdiction mission requirements, the Super Hornet maintains fleet air defense and close air support roles, as well as an increasing range of missions, including in-air refueling.”

While the Eagles and the Chiefs are preparing to face off this Sunday in the Super Bowl, two football fans have already beat the odds.

John Gladwell and Billy Welsh first crossed paths while serving together in the Marine Corps at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. Welsh is a self-proclaimed lifelong fan of the Eagles, meanwhile Gladwell roots for the Chiefs.

The pair would occasionally keep in touch through social media, and Welsh eventually learned that he would need a lifesaving kidneys transplant. Welsh shared his need for a kidney on Facebook and Gladwell stepped in a short time later.

“We did not like each other while we were in,” Gladwell told KMBC-TV in Kansas City. “He was 17, he was young, he was too enthusiastic. I just wanted to go home. I wanted out,” he added.

“He was a jerk,” Welsh said of Gladwell.

But, Welsh was shocked and very grateful that Gladwell volunteered to be his kidney donor.

“I was shocked, when he said he was a match and he was going to be in town next week, I cried,” Welsh said. “Never in a million years would I have ever thought that dude would’ve given me a kidney.”

Gladwell shared that he wanted Welsh to be able to still be able to spend time with his family in the future.

“I don’t think I could’ve lived with myself if I could do something but didn’t. I wanted him to have dad going to Eagles games, Phillies games, Flyers, 76ers all of that. I wanted him to be able to experience all of that with his dad,” Gladwell said.

Gladwell was able to make a recovery after a month. Welsh was happy to learn that his friend was able to make it through the ordeal. 

“I’m so thankful that he pulled through, that both kidneys are still functioning,” Welsh said.

After news of the selfless act spread, the two men learned they would be making the trip to Arizona to watch their respective teams compete in football’s biggest game.

Eagle President Don Smolenski reached out the Chiefs and both organizations decided to their part to help get the fans to the Super Bowl. “The opportunity to bring these two guys together, their two teams playing on the biggest stage in sports, it’s very, very humbling and gratifying,” Smolenski told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
