shoot this down is high. the potential intelligence value of these balloons is also high. so let s just wait, see where it goes, and if we can shoot it down over the ocean let s do that. because of the new tracking method, they believe this happened at least three times during the trump presidency, they ran the signals back through with that they learned. do they have any understanding of what intelligence china may have gleaned from those? not at this point. they just know that these were undetected during the trump administration. so i think because they understand where these balloons went over the united states they probably understand what they might have been able to see. at this point we just don t have the answer to that. one of the many lingering questions. fan fantastic reporting. thank you so much. a live look at state farm stadium, site of super bowl lvii. the president will be one of 100 million or so watching on television. with an audience that large and campaign
