Incoming White House national security adviser Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) was on Face The Nation over the weekend sounding the alarm over the shocking number of unidentified drones seen in the skies over New York and New Jersey.

Waltz says it’s a national security issue and exposes the “gaps” in communication and lack of efficiency of our intelligence agencies and Homeland Security.

“I think what the drone issue points out are kind of gaps in our agencies, gaps in our authorities between the Department of Homeland Security, local law enforcement, the Defense Department,” he said. “And I think Americans are finding it hard to believe we can’t figure out where these are coming from.”

“And I can tell you, from the Defense Department standpoint, you know, they’re focused on bombers and cruise missiles, and it’s pointing to gaps in our capabilities and in our ability to clamp down on what’s going on here,” he continued.

Waltz noted that the drones are hovering over sensitive sites — including President-elect Donald Trump’s residence in Bedminster.

“And you have other no-fly areas, those need to be enforced,” he said. “We need to know who’s behind it. But, right now, I think law enforcement seems to be – the Department of Homeland Security and the Defense Department are kind of all doing this and pointing at each other. So, when we come in, you know, how do we enforce these low-level, long-loitering, could-be-dangerous drones?”

“And one thing for people to appreciate, you know, they’re evolving so rapidly, it’s not necessarily somebody that’s just on the other end flying it. They could be following prepositioned GPS coordinates. They could be coming from offshore,” he continued. “And we need to take a hard look at our homeland defenses. President Trump has talked about an Iron Dome for America. That needs to include drones as well, not just adversarial actions like hypersonic missiles.”
