The Pentagon released video this week showing an airborne Russian fighter jet intercepting an unarmed U.S. drone above the Black Sea. The provocative act, which took place in international airspace, damaged the drone's propeller, causing it to crash into the water. On this week's show, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby explains what the U.S. will and will not do in response. Plus, what does Kirby think of Poland providing jets to the Ukrainian military? Have White House procedures for handling classified material changed since classified papers were found at President Biden's home and former office? Also, who blew up the Nord Stream 2 pipeline? Join us for breakfast at Cafe du Parc at the Willard Hotel.
