to montana and hover above america s most important military installations. all the way to south carolina until the pentagon shot it down on saturday after more than a week traveling throughout the country. now questions are swirling on the damage already done. what did the balloon capture, was it sending data back live as it traveled back to communist china? did it drop and disburse surveillance products powered by solar energy to allow unlimited surveillance, and why did it take u.s. officials so long to shoot it down? was it a test for the ccp to the see if it can send something into america s air space undetected, and how much surveillance is communist china performing on america right now? joining me right now is the chairman of the newly-formed select committee on china, wisconsin representative, former marine spending two tours in iraq, mike gallagher. congressman, thank you so much for being here the morning. thanks for having me.
