and ask about the bosley guarantee i'm mj lee at the white house and this is cnn it's may 13 right now on cnn this morning, michael cohen's set to take the stand. >> how trump's former fixer could become the star witness in trump's hush money trial today, plus y partisan backlash for president biden after his warning to israel about us weapons shipments and a rare sight in the skies above washington's civilian aircraft flying right over the national models heavily restricted airspace are pecan team was in

the sky all right. 6:00 a.m. here in washington alive. look at the white house on this monday morning. morning, everyone, i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us. that's you had a happy mother's day yesterday hey today's gonna be a busy one here the stage is set for a dramatic courtroom showdown as former attorney michael cohen is set to testify against the man he once said he would take a bullet for his old boss, donald trump manhattan prosecutors in the hush money trial expected to call the fixer, turned foe to the state and hoping to link the $130,000 payment to adult film star stormy daniel's cohen has repeatedly said he's been ready to testify against the former president. here's what he told cnn's erin burnett back in february i have no problem the last time at the new york attorney general's case of

being in the same room as donald i'm not the only one who has said this i felt nothing. there's no intimidation by him. he's the one that's sitting at the defendant's desk, not me all right. >> our panels here, cnn legal analysts, former federal prosecutor elliot williams from advisor to tim scott's presidential campaign. >> matt gorman and cnn political commentator and former white house policy adviser ashley allison is here as well elliott at blockbuster de. >> here we are right now. we're going to be back here probably again later for hours and hours and hours, i would imagine. yeah. >> what are you watching for today? from michael cohen. >> is it over? it's not over yet. no god, but god. okay. barely begun. >> we've only just begun to i think let's put it this way. i think there's good, bad, and ugly around michael jackson. michael michael wright exam monday morning. sorry. sorry. sorry about michael cohen's testimony. i think good for

prosecutors is that when you have a criminal prosecution about the intersection of someone's personal and play political wives. the most valuable witness that can come up is the guy who knows virtually everything or knew virtually everything about that defendants personal and political lives. he was involved in virtually every detail and he literally has said and others have said about him. he knows where the bodies are buried and has quote-unquote the receipts. so he's a valuable witness. now, the bad is that he has a very long list of strikes against him as a witness that are going to come up at trial. he's got a number of criminal convictions for i believe, tax evasion, campaign finance related issues, and lying to congress. that's not good. he wrote above can put those up next screen, we have a little graphic. continue. he wrote a book literally called revenge, which is the title of his book. now, what's the revenge against? well, it's the defendant and that's going to come up in front of the jury that this is the kinds of material you've been putting out. he's got a youtube channel, twitter feed, all of this. i believe tiktok, were

savages. the former president regularly, and all of this again, will come up in front of the jury. the against them. and i just think the ugly is it's a personality clash and i think you put this man on the stand looking at the defendant. he said in that clip there that no, i was able to do this once before. and can do it without losing my cool. but i don't know over several days of really harsh questioning how michael cohen will hold up so it's big and consequential witness for the prosecution. i just remains to be seen how it's going to work yeah. so i actually talked to michael cohen about his credibility or lack thereof back in 2022 in march, this at the time, the big question was around the the inflation of the value of trump's properties, which ultimately was not something that he ended up being tried, charged with criminally. but here's how cohen explained to me when i asked him about whether he discussed his own credibility as a witness with

the da, alvin bragg's office watch did you ever talk to them about your credibility? did they ever talk to you about your credibility? absolutely. i spoke with ten different law enforcement agencies. what i did, i you probably remember this of the house oversight. i brought in documentary evidence. i didn't want anyone to question my credibility. this is something that irritates me, right? because donald trump is the one who labeled me a convicted liar so i will say matt, i mean, he he did plead guilty to lying to congress, so it's time trump who is leveled at him. >> but i mean this is going to be big question, isn't like, look, i think you've seen these last couple of weeks, you know? folks like stormy daniels, folks like michael cohen has given interviews and public statements for years now, he's saying, i would say hakh trump and wanted seem to think that this and that of various sorts. and okay, now you have every right in the world to make those statements. but the debits to everywhere in the world to use that against you, question your credibility right now. and i think, look, i

don't necessarily expect and loses cool, but he could look you know, forgive me like kind of like an idiot if you will. i'm on the stand like for lack of a better term, that's i think what i'm curious about. and again, a lot of this cohen is where there's two audience here, the jury and the voters cone is a perfect person to punch holes. and for also the voters to speaking of voters, ashley, i mean where do you think the president was fundraising over the weekend called said that trump has become totally unhinged. we played donald trump. we're going to show everyone again later in the show what he had to say about hannibal lecter on the boardwalk at the jersey shore, or shouldn't necessarily i don't know if it was actually on the boardwalk or not, but he was in wild would new jersey where biden team as they watch this unfold and what does this cohen play any role in their thinking at all i mean, if you're the biden team, iraqis, like hang my coat on cohen, right. >> like out of all the things in the world of tao trump that you can go after. maybe the

case writ large is something to talk about and say like, i'm out here talking about the issues of the american public while donald trump again is having a fitted himself for a furious behavior, but it's not because of michael cohen is really i do think though i'm interested to see stormy daniels last week was comparative, but she stood up for herself on dan. i don't know if michael cohen should do that. i don't think he should present himself as a combative witness. it is argumentative with the attorney. i think he just needs to continue to like, put his statement of facts out there where he is and kinda lay it down for the biden campaign. i i think i want to turn the page on the next couple of days and get back to the contrast of chaos versus working for the american people. >> all right. >> we're, of course going be talking about this all throughout the morning just to hit here, republican senator jd vance answering questions genes on cnn is your additional could

bash, some top republicans have of course been giving quite elusive answers to that question. >> vance also went on to say this we have to be willing, as democrats did in 2000, as democrats have done in the past. and certain is republicans did in 2020 is if you think there were problems, you have to be willing to pursue those problems and try to execute your case. and certainly, if we have a free and fair election, i'll accept the results all right, and joining us now is cnn chief political correspondent and the host. if cnn's state of the union and inside politics, dan bash, dana. good morning. good morning. this was a great interview. >> what did you make of his answer there? >> because it does seem to have the echoes of like when you ask donald trump about is there gonna be violence? he said, well, if the election, if i win the election know, and in this case he's saying wealthy election is free and fair. sure. yeah, i'll accept the results. i honestly wasn't sure where he was going to go with that answer because he hadn't answered that. i think the new york times had done a survey of all the potential vice

presidential running mate for donald trump. and that was one that they didn't get back on. so i hadn't seen it anywhere else. >> the answer to your question, my sense is that given the fact that he clearly likes being the running, right i thought he would be a little bit more trumpian than he was. okay. because when i pushed him on the fundamental question, which you play it like, okay, but what if joe biden wins? right? >> he did say yes. yes. but there was a button there, but at least there was a yes. which is not what we saw in 2020, not obviously, from donald trump and not by people like jd vance who didn't accept the results. now, they argue that i'm? not that well. donald trump argues that it was ranked, he did it again saturday night. that's just there's no evidence to show that the argument that they make beyond that, of

course, is that because it was covid a lot of the states and cities and locales change the rules to make it easier for people to vote. and that was not right? i don't know what if if there's a similar sort of excuse that they can find you in 2024 if donald trump does in fact lose, you can bet the look for one. yeah. i mean, matt gorman has someone who's previously worked for an it's someone who is on the vp shortlist in tim scott. i mean, there is a spectrum of answers on this question about whether or not the they're going to accept the results. where would you put vance on that spectrum? >> he was pretty clear. you pretty succinct, which i think you want. he said you could put an a chiral. i'm pretty easily what can be said for all of them. and look, i think at the end of the day you're not going to get for someone wants to be in the vp shortlist. just like honestly, any other issue you're not going to get someone to go out there and say something diametrically. diametrically opposed to what trump is saying on this, right? there is in that spectrum, there's kind of almost guardrails that you towards and

i think what you saw vance was certainly on one side of that. i was surprised sense to sink and how kinda clear he was at least voted late when it went on data show. >> well, of course he trump appeared with doug burgum over the weekend rally, which seems to suggest burger maybe arising off the list. it's certainly it does. and look, we have to remember that donald trump likes to play with us, play with everybody. this is something that he likes. the kind of who will it be, who won't be but he does it. >> it's not just by watching donald trump over the weekend with doug burgum, it's also reporting that i have from people around him. >> he really, really likes the idea of doug burgum fact that he's a business person, the fact that he is central casting, which is not nothing. >> but when it comes to donald trump and he's a nice person, he's a nice person to be with genuinely a nice guy and i'm

you know, that's something that trump like right? >> unobjectionable, really. i mean, ashley else and we also saw trump over the weekend, shoot down the idea that nikki haley was anywhere on his list, right? like actually put posted about that. >> that does seem to suggest like, i mean, it seems like there's still a major opening for the biden team to go looking for haley voters considering how he talks about her still yeah. >> i'm sorry. i'm like trying to hold back my laughter likes nice people you know what? let me let me correct the record, please. >> your honor and i want to i want to actually associate myself with the word that case you use, which is unobjectionable yeah. that's a better word. i'm not that he's not always nice guy that donald trump the birds on were being nice is what tim. back to

the question of nicotine look nikki haley was one of the few people on the republican primary, very late in the primary. >> but at some point in the primary, who actually went after donald trump and that's not what donald trump wants. and anybody can be considered to be his number two, he wants someone who will fall in line, which doug burgum, you're from rabbis like people for doing to put potentially be tapped and nikki haley has yet has actually been rather silent since she has dropped out of the race. other than getting 150,000 votes here and there and post primary since being out of the race. >> so i think that the biden campaign is trying to figure out how to go after do those voters because they haley voters actually we're a part of the coalition in 2020 there. >> he did get some republicans, we got some independence and then we got a majority. large historical number of our base. so yes, biden is interested in, according those voters how he courts them. i think it's

important, and i think will be much more aggressive once the v p is announced as a contrast all right. >> dana bash, thank you so much for joining us. really appreciate your arrows. great, great interview coming up here hannibal lecter, once you have to do with the election, when we're going to need to ask donald trump that question. and lift off from cape canaveral will bring you the details on the latest spacex launch coming up next how we'd really happy with can see you martin. >> sunday's at nine on scene. kinda riva support your brain health. >> mary janet, hey, eddie, know appraiser, franck, franck, bread. how are you, fred fuel up to seven brain health indicators, including your memory, joined the neretva brain health challenge posted show in late. >> night. that sounds awesome insane to be real useful thing the daily show tonight i'm 11

associated with it. so as it traverses across the border of mississippi and into alabama, it could pick up some intensity and create a swath of stronger winds and heavier rainfall across the deep south was also potential of a spin up or two of tornadoes, 5% risks today, and that extends as far our western new orleans, all the way to about houston. but this is where we're highlighting our greatest chance of large hail two inch in diameter anywhere you see that hashed area, including much of louisiana and into southeast texas, not one, but two rounds of severe storms anticipated over the next 24 hours. so with this amount of whether moving through better believe there's a flood threat as well. flood watches in effect anywhere you see that shading of green, that includes the florida panhandle right through texas and louisiana three to six inches of rain. this is through tuesday. that is a lot of precipitation on a very waterlogged area. that's why the weather prediction center is still has this moderate risk of excessive rain that could lead to some localized flash flooding. so from aurora borealis to severe storms to flood throughout, we covered all here at cnn whether casey

raising money it a private fundraiser in seattle. and he said this about trump quote, something's and quote in him, he is not only obsessed with losing in 2020, he is clearly on hinge the panels back during by stephen constant. okay. so who's seen the sounds of the lambs? >> yeah. i have none. you can never seen ruined the ending yeah. it's okay. >> my mom didn't let me watch things it's like that one goes snap. >> i watched it came out either i said it's never gory, it's again. those more bore when i watch it is less you know, as someone who actually knows, someone who's he's known for making movie references that are far out of date. myself it's a 30 three-year-old film, and there are more up-to-date films about serial killers and psychopaths and joker, 2019, there was a whole body of material he could have drawn from here. then he chose not well, he's not a cannibal right? so he okay. ipad choices like the movies from the latent

80s, early, i think this is just like it's cultural era, like a guaranteed he's not very buckling the joker, this is that he just golf's and watches american sides i don't know. i'm just work with me here, man. i just went taken like the point was the eating of the other but i probably friend for dinner. >> that's upon joking aside, i thought it was they are letting people who are mentally ill into our country who are committing crimes, not necessarily cannibalism, but this is but this is the problem he gets, gets on a stage and makes these rambling, meandering statements that resonate with people who are there. certainly people were clapping and applauding but it's hard to tell where he's going other than mexicans are making america bad, right? >> well, i mean, in that is of course been a theme since he came down the golden escalator at miss stephen collins, you're famous here for doing all of our kind of big picture, looks at the world since something you do day in and day out. and what is the big picture of?

getting donald trump this is i guess it's like par for the course. basically, donald trump likes tough guys, but that's taking it to extremes but i do think having been to a lot of trump rallies he gets on a roll and it almost feels like he tries to test how far he can go. he knows everybody is watching. he knows people are going to be outraged and this is part of his secret sauce to his supporters is that he can say absolutely anything and get away with it. and i will say when he was saying that if you've watched the people in the crowd, everyone would have had a smile on his face. that's the trump. those people like masses attraction. so there's a method in the madness perhaps, yeah, maybe what? >> and so we also i mean, speaking of exactly this where the crowd gets fired up by something that typically historically would have been considered to be inappropriate. here was trump doing this is become a recurring bills and the campaign trail where he talks about al capone. but let's remember this is, as we

are heading into this day of michael cohen, the president's former fixer being on the stand in new york courtroom. watch for trump said, again at this rally i'll capone was so mean that if you went to dinner with nri, didn't like you you'd be dead next morning and i got indicted more than him i mean my gorman, if you had told me that i'm a presidential candidate was going to be bringing out a crowd like that, like say that, yeah, on the jersey shore of all places, what's another movie references? >> it's the untouchables from the al capone movie, or dinner with al capone. again here, the boomer lives in the early 90s these late 80s movie era but you're right. i mean, look, i feel like we have these conversations for the last ten years ever since he came down the escalator to your point, right? like he starts riffing. he these things are entertaining above all else and

you never know what he's going to say. and that's kinda half the attraction for folks watching, or that's why we have everybody covered these live for last eight years. and that's why people go. >> yeah. ashley, i mean you want to happen you want to get this i no i mean, i guess donald trump isn't entertainer and maybe just to state in that column and i hope never gets out of that column and that a president like i don't i can't tell. >> i know. >> right. i mean go back and stay is my was the key point of that but i can't tell him like something was wrong with my earpiece, but i just kept hearing people's wasn't using that much profanity, wasn't necessary. >> code was chatting. >> but yes, and i guess we can't play that on. >> yeah. but i'm mike is that is that is that your guy? right? like is that the person is that is that americans guys at the americans president is our future president is we want, and i hope the answer is no in november, but that's where we are with the

republican party. he is the he's the presumptive nominee. >> nominee. yes. >> the thing that is crazy is that our last time. when was that? there are people falling over themselves to be his number two with that type of behavior. >> these winning well the new york poll came on today's up in five, five, and six, six or seven, 20 states that mean likely there's, there's sort attachment here. i mean, again, i feel like we have these conversations last decade, but he's catching something in the country, so it's not like the guy is the predominant mean at 35% nationally. at what cost? why are you and the question is, if ronald ray i speak as a republican, i guess if ronald reagan sought that how would ronald reagan react to it if i don't know, gerald ford saw that, how would ford react to it? and i just, you know, yes, these winning but what is the price the modern republican party is willing to pay for winning? and i just that's a comment in the form of a

question. i don't know if you want to speak for all republicanism, but, but i, i really do wonder that when i watch something like where we can't play the sound of what's happening at this rally because of how offensive the languages added driven by the standard bearer the better question perhaps it's a great question, but the better question is like if you see that what, what do you want? >> if it's gotta be better than just like he's the winner, it's like, what do we want as a leader in this moment? and i think that's what so many people have. i'm not a republican, so that's not my guy, but like i want more for our country, i want us to be in a race where the opponent as someone that we don't have to bleep out their speeches because i want americans to want more than that and i guess it's not, it's not an accusatory question, but it's like what is it that people are seeing that as like invigorating that around this i guess i'll throw the question back and i think it's right, it's like then if that's the way folks feel than what does it say about the sitting president is losing to that,

right? >> what does it with the greg party that they're looking at that then and saying i want that guy and that guy. i mean, i guess it's it's a broader conversation yeah the point here is just not going on. >> reagan's republican party anymore or gerald ford's republican party. there has been a complete change in the parties. it's a party now of working americans, of revolt, of insurgency and that your question is, shows how much it's changed and that tells us a something about the country as well. the country is not the same as it used to be. and trump is part of that. he didn't start it. he harnessed it and he's pushing it forward. okay. maybe brown ray and 30 another 30-year-old reference wasn't the right one. what would marco rubio of six years ago say about bad what he saw there, what would frankly, any of the mainstream of the party that's not mitt romney, who was here and alive and active in the political process. but five or six years ago, say when they saw that and they just sort of, i guess you're still seems point.

everybody has sort of been pulled in the direction of chanting bs at rallies. it's a fair question as to how is this still beating the president, right? and maybe it's a question about the current president, but still it's really remarkable what's happened to the part just as an outsider watching it all right. >> well, no shortage of things to talk about for this election are coming up next more on what to expect in donald trump's hush money trial today, we're going to hear from star witness michael cohen plus nearly 60 planes buzzing, buzzing above the country's most restricted airspace in a historic flyover, our pittman teen or aviation correspondent was there. he was flying in the skies. he'll join us ahead awesome. in the surreal the russians were trying to spy on us we were spying on them this. >> is a war, but secret was secrets and spies. >> a nuclear game premier

designer sales at up to 70% shop guilty.com today all right this morning, the prosecution's star witness, michael cohen, is set to testify in donald trump's hush money trial in new york. >> cohen is of course, trump's ex-attorney and x fixer, who once said he'd take a bullet for his former boss prosecutors hope he can directly connect trump to be $130,000 payment to former adult film star stormy daniels. she is at the center of this case. >> the judge had to warn cohen on friday to stop trolling trump online. >> something he has been doing quite a bit of just like trump, these are this is from his tiktok show for months good day for donald in new york. good day for new yorkers and good day for justice all right. >> our panel is back so in fact, let's, let's do this from your story, steven, you wrote recently, cohen's appearance

on the stand, quote, will mark the zenith of a bitter personal feud between two brash new yorkers who are obsessed we could keep going with betrayal and revenge. >> you also said that cohen is trump's mirror in many ways. >> what did you mean? >> these two characters who are very much reflect each other cohen wrote in his book that he became like trump, so that he could work for trump so that he could serve if trump, he said that he became a liar, a bully, and the thorium pertinent to this case especially in the prosecution case. he also said that he knew whether skeletons were buried because he buried them himself. so he is kind of trump's alter-ego and it's kind of ironic that he is being told when to stop proline people online. that is trump's modus operandi. so what i'm interested to see is how much the prosecutors can get out of cohen as to what he actually did, what trump told him to do,

what but at the same time mitigating this bad side of his character if you'd like that, the defense is going to narrow into and say was someone who was obsessed with trump because he didn't get what he wanted a good job. the administration, he's therefore god an ax to grind and is not credible and they only have to write so doubt in the mind of one juror. and this is over. so i think a lot of it is going to depend on whether cohen is that trump lake figure on the stand or his more sober and temperate? yeah. so i interviewed michael cohen in 20 22. this was and i asked him about whether he had spoken to the manhattan da's office. this was in the context of a different case, but bottom line, same problem michael cohen's credibility. here's what he told me did. you ever talk to them about your credibility? did they ever talk to you about your credibility absolutely. >> i spoke with ten different law enforcement agencies. what i did i wrote probably remember this that the house oversight i

brought in documentary evidence. i didn't want anyone to question my credibility. you know, this is something that irritates me, right? because donald trump is the one who labeled me a convicted liar. >> so in fairness, he was labeled a convicted liar elliott in the courts and went to prison but that's i mean, that's his his attempt to try to say i am i am credible. >> i what how do you expect that to play out today as we start to see him on the sandi, the prosecuting prosecution, could we acknowledge them around with a credit? the prosecution has to acknowledge that they have witnessed with baggage and prosecutors often do this. it makes far more sense to get the witnesses baggage out there yourself rather than leave it to the other side to do it. you can say, sir tell me about your conviction for lying, sir. tell me about your twitter feed and all of the above, so that it's not later on in the trial where the defendant out for the first time the jury hears it, pulls

out the tweets and the bad statements. i think a challenge for the defense in responding to all of this, is that a lot of these credibility things can actually backfire on the defense, sort of like michael cohen had said, there that he did so at the direction and for the benefit of the former president also some of the statements he made are insulting the former president's. so does the defendant it's really want on the record that this witness called him as stephen said, liar, bully, thug, and also on other occasions, he calls him a con man a cheat, and a racist. now, those all speak to the witnesses credibility because they suggest that the witness has a beef with the defendant, but do you want your client having those words said about having courts so the defense has a balance here. >> do yeah, it's really interesting. >> and i love this quote that you just to repeat what steve just said about cohen, i know where the skeletons are buried because i was the one who buried them. >> right? it's like there is something about as well someone

that used to you used to be close to turning on you in such a personal way? >> yeah. it seems like for trump, if he's like a boomer harb than coinjoin can see are shut up online, just over shares and gets himself in trouble like should also has that tendency lester to that. but no, i mean, you're right and people i mean casey cover trump back dating to the romney when he was not many like cohen was always, at least for romney folks, you go through cohen like he was anyway. >> that's how i got to know. >> you had known him for years before trump. one cpac stalwart, michael cohen was always roaming the halls like you're right. he he doesn't have a lot. and i think one of the things in pick that i'm wrong, but todd blanche just been kind of hanging back a little bit from some of the cross-examination. they're kinda saving. he was trump's main lawyer in maybe the idea is that really sent him only after cohen perhaps they don't have to do a ton with him on

cross and it's important to know that sometimes the questions you don't ask are far more valuable because of the fact that the witnesses credibility issues will be front and center. >> you're not going to gain a ton by banging your shoe on the table one screaming adam, just get the information out there. and then in closing statements say, ladies and gentlemen of the court, you just saw a star witness who is himself a wire, achieved a frog, a convicted felon, who wrote a book called revenge about the defendant. and i think that alone far more than screaming ab is going to be valid. >> but one thing i didn't want her is what trump is going to say at the end the court today because he is not allowed to go after cohen because as a gag order and today tomorrow, however long he's on the stand. if he starts to dig up some of these skeletons that he references in his book will donald trump be able to restrain himself? that's the question that i really have at

the end of the day. >> yeah, for sure. i mean, look, we should note cohen was admonished by the prosecutors, were told, hey, tell cohen stopped doing their little on friday in court. all right. stephen collins. and thanks very much for being you're always great to have you. >> all right. it is 53 minutes past the hour. now, here is your morning round up today. authorities will attempt to demolish a portion of baltimore's key bridge, the official shows plan to use small explosives to make cuts in the collapsed structure in order to free the container ship that collided with the bridge in march also today, jury selection set to begin, and senator bob menendez, his trial, the new jersey democrat is accused accepting gold bars, cash, and luxury goods in exchange for using his position to help foreign governments and american businessman thoughts about the trial as we head into next week, i'm looking forward to proving my innocence menendez has denied the allegations actor we're steve was shimmy is okay. after being

punched in the face in what his publishes publicist called a random act of violence in new york city. >> the nypd pd is asking for public assistance in identifying this man, who they say they have identified as the suspect a tense moment in australia as a small plane approaches the runway without its landing gear, the pilot pulls off what my script says is a textbook belly landing. i don't know what's textbook about that, but i'll take it as the craft circle, the airport for hours to burn fuel before attempting the landing and all three people aboard walked away without injuries, man, they're lucky pittman teen, we're gonna talk about your flight in a second, but like how hard is that look pretty good to me. like a textbook is actually the right way to live. but that was actually pretty nicely done. is it in the textbooks when you learned? oh, you know, it's in the pilot's operating handbook and you go through it and try and do it just so that was pretty good i've seen some pretty good ones. this is up there and maybe the top five. i mean, those people are very, very lucky that no that whoever it was flying that plane was we'll pull that off. yeah. all

right. we brought pete here for this watch rare sight at this weekend's decent see on the dc national mall. >> so usually this airspace is some of the country's absolute most restricted. but this weekend, nearly 60 aircraft filled the skies above our nation's capital. this was to celebrate at five years of general aviation and this public parade features an array of non-military aircraft. we do sometimes see military aircraft line over it included vintage planes it's the dated back to the 1930s. and one of those planes it was up in the sky belong to our pete man teen in his single engine super decathlon. >> there he is in there. he was soaking up the views pizza here. p, this is amazing once you get to see this weekend, it was so cool and i think you described it in the teases hey, the planes and that is so accurate. i've been able to fly over cities big and small new york chicago, la. i was able to fly over it easy once before during the practice

flight for this, which is very scaled down, nobody really knew we were coming this time. all 55 blinds and the buzz was really kind of electric. i can see the crowds, i could see my friends down there. i can see the cameras and the highlight for me was the broadcast that i was able to do from the cockpit. there was a livestream by the aircraft owners and pilots association and i was talking with aviation journalist tom haynes here and also a name who may be familiar to longtime cnn viewers, miles o'brien. and i want you to listen to this now this was real hood a lot and clear here. i'll go to ban this is so awesome and surreal. i'm looking right at the earth's fate museum. why would go with my late parents who instilled a love applying and me, they follow through, i see a lot of young people down there and for the young and heart, it is never for too late to learn of life, come and join us general aviation is the cruelest thing the ultimate freedom we have it so good here in the united states of america and we're so thrilled to be able to share with you all on the ground uri

match all over the world definitely practice what you please thank you, miles o'brien, my mentor and pseudo dad and uncle. it is so cool to be able to it's up to you on the radio. you can see me right here in this smoke of phillips steinbach. and we are passing, we're right at me. the hirshhorn right now and your gums the right turn will see you guys later. thank you. but the planar good luck number it is a little hard to see the monuments there, but we went residentially right over the lincoln memorial and we saw the white on my mind even pretty clearly, yeah, down by the reflecting pool. the washington monument was very close out my left window and then we were dead center on independence avenue right to the hirshhorn and turn right the cool thing about this was i really like felton. the crowd was with me in the airplane and aviation is become i think, so mundane and anxiety producing for so many people they know the airlines, they know the stress of it.

this was really to bring the joy and fun of aviation to the people in aviation really needs people right now. does shortage of pilots? there's a shortage of air traffic controllers. there's a shortage of mechanics. every level from professional to the trades, we need people right now, there's never been a better time they get involved. >> yeah. well, it sounds like ashley wants to like i know i don't need another hobby, but i definitely learning how to fly. an airplane has always been on my bucket list. so if you're looking for a student anytime you're ready you teach me i'm already in line for sure. so i mean, pete, this your point about how aviation really isn't kind of a tough spot him in the news that has come out about boeing, like always. i mean, normally when i see you on the air, it's always covering something. thankfully, they're mostly been near misses, right yeah. >> but i mean, why do you think we are we are where we are and how do we bring the spirit back? hello, i think aviation has become kind of unromantic, and i think people see it as very formulaic and it's so

fenced off and the cool thing about general aviation, which this is, which is all non-commercial and non-military flying, is that it's aviation for everyone. >> it's the most accessible form of aviation. these are airports that are in your backyard they almost all have a flight school. i would encourage anyone to go out and take a flying lesson for a lot of people who were involved in this aviation is also a vocation. they sell airplanes, they work on them. you don't have to be a professional, a fly like one for me, it's a family tradition and the big thing here is that i was able to sort of honore my parents and so it's so fitting this was on the day before mother's day. there's my mom and dad. i lost my dad when i was young. my mom died in a plane crash when i was 18. and i really try and carry there we are at an honor with me when i fly. the big thing for me is continuing to crusader my mom because she really wanted to get more women and people of color involved in aviation. and there is a really disproportionate lack of representation in aviation. it's primarily white men. and so we need to fix that. and so the hope
