apartment here in kuala lumpur. the women arrived in malaysia less than two weeks before the attack. one of them checking into at least two different hotels in the two days before it. the staff remembers her as the woman carrying a giant teddy bear. memable indeed. south korean intelligence sources say the two women were recruited by members of north korea's national security and foreign ministries. north korea has vehemently denied any role. malaysia saying north korea has not cooperated in the investigation. and the rising diplomatic tensions come to a head over the body of jim jong nam. that body is still in the morgue here in kuala lumpur. north korea demanded their sints return. malaysians say they're holding on to the body until next of kin shows up to provide a dna
5:01 am
sample. >> the latest twist, the girls say they were duped. this story is more and more bizarre. stay on it and thank you. we are following a lot of news this morning. let's get right to it. >> i think you're going to see something very, very special. >> going to be a surge in defense spending and cuts pretty much across the board. >> the future ain't what it used to be. >> as most of you know the obamacare has had tremendous problems. >> are democrats going to work with republicans? >> we are fighting the fake news. >> it's fake. phony, fake. >> you're going to need to use the special prosecutors. >> the fbi has already said this story is bs. >> let's have the investigation and find out the truth. academy award for best picture -- >> "la la land." >> there's a mistake. "moonlight," you guys won best picture. >> i was speechless. i've never seen that happen before. >> this is "new day" with chris
5:02 am
cuomo and alisyn camerota. >> good morning. welcome to your "new day." an epic mistake brings the academy awards to a halt. the presenters were given the wrong envelope leading them to announce the wrong winner for best picture. who did win? "moonlight" took home the big prize. >> hollywood's biggest night included political statements. celebrities taking on president trump's travel band with their own message of inclusion. tomorrow the president heads to capitol hill before a joint session of congress. stephanie elam has not slept yet as a result of the oscar snafu. tell us what happens. >> that's one way to keep things up, at the biggest award of the show for best picture. it was stunning to see. the audience on their feet. when you look at the fact that it was already big news that "moonlight" won beating out "la la land," that would have been big news in and of itself.
5:03 am
but then this happened, but if you missed it, take a look. >> "la la land." >> the academy awards are billed as hollywood's biggest night. but this year's ceremony ended with what could be one of the biggest screw-ups in its history. >> sorry, no. there's a mistake. "moonlight," you guys won best picture. this is not a joke. >> this is not a joke. i'm afraid they read the wrong thing. >> this is not a joke. "moonlight" has won best picture. "moonlight," best picture. >> i wanted to tell you what happened. i opened the envelope and it said emma stone, "la la land." this is "moonlight," the best picture. >> clearly, even in my dreams this could not be true. but to hell the dreams, i'm done with it because this is true. we've been on the rode with these guys for so long.
5:04 am
so generous of them. my love to "la la land.." >> it was a "la la land" producer who announced the gaff. >> i'm in a little days. they handed us an envelope and the awards. we started accepting and everybody came up. there were people with headsets that started coming out on the stage and it was suddenly clear something wasn't right. >> the reactions backstage were equally as confusing. >> is that the craziest oscar moment of all time? cool. guys, we made history tonight. >> i noticed the commotion that was happening, and i thought something strange had occurred. and then i'm sure everybody saw my face, but i was speechless. >> reporter: after the mistake when the biggest prize was corrected, moonlight ended the night with three wins, best picture, adapted screenplay and actor in a supporting role for mahershala ali who is the first muslim actor to win an academy
5:05 am
award. >> it's not about you. it's about these characters. you're in service to these stories and these characters, and i'm so blessed i've had an opportunity. >> reporter: a new record was set for the most black oscar winners in a single year with five taking home awards in four different categories. >> it's important we take a second to appreciate what is happening here. we're at the oscars, the academy awards, you're nominated, you got to come, your families are nominated. some of you will get to come up here on this stage tonight and give a speech that the president of the united states will tweet about in all caps during his 5:00 a.m. bowel movement tomorrow. >> reporter: while oskars host jimmy kimmel took jabs at president trump, it was the best foreign language film by ash ka far ratty where politics took center stage. iranian american astronaut
5:06 am
anousheh ansari accepted on his behalf. >> dividing the world into the us and our enemies category, these wars prevent democracy and human rights in countries which have themselves been victims of aggression. >> so back to this whole thing about their being two cards. there are two sets of cars of who has won and two auditors, one on each side of the stage that when a presenter comes up, they're handed the card. the auditor on the other card is supposed to discard their card. somehow that card ended up with warren beatty and fay dunn away. as far as the two camps from "la la land" and moonlight, they were completely class acts. just to prove that point, barry jenkins from "moonlight" tweeted jordan horowitz, the one who announced they didn't win, much respect to that dude.
5:07 am
jordan horowitz wrote back, thank you, barry, congratulations and much love. quite well how they both handled a really tough moment for both movies. >> so awkward. as chris has pointed out, this is his favorite moment when they were physician yurg it out, they were looking at the right card. >> i said this is the window between the producers and talent that exist in every industry. when the producer did this, warren bayity -- >> here the card is like -- >> give me that. when he did that warren beatty. >> he was like, look, it's done. i can see it on the card. let me just show everybody. >> you actors can't get anything right. >> that's amazing. >> obviously, this morning it harkens back to the awkward moment when steve harvey announced the wrong winner, and
5:08 am
a lot of people have already brought up steve harvey this morning. he tweeted good morning everybody. went to sleeperly this morning, so what did i miss? >> which is worse, i think the steve harvey one was worse. there were just two women alone basically with their confusion. so the woman who thought she had won, that's humiliating personally. steve harvey got it wrong because he read the card wrong. i think that is worse. >> the academy awards are a much bigger deal, but in terms of personal mistake, harvey, i'm surprised he came out at all. >> the trump administration could reveal an outline of its budget today. this is a big deal policiwise and politically, and it certainly tees up the president's prime time address before congress tuesday night. mr. trump is expected to seek a big boost in military spending, steep cuts to several federal agencies, but not enough to offset the big tax cut he wants. 38 days in, the trump presidency
5:09 am
keeps rolling. cnn senior washington correspondent joe johns live at the white house with more. will this be a showdown between the tea party and trump? >> reporter: it certainly has the potential to be. we got an early peek at the white house's thinking on what's basically a budget blueprint. we do know, as you just reported, that they're going to try to ramp up spending big time, also going to cut spending to a lot of other agencies and they're going to try to maintain the status quo on entitlements. >> president trump expected to call for a substantial increase in military spending and massive cuts to several federal agencies in the first draft of his administrati administration's budget proposal, including the environmental protection agency, while aiming to protect social security and medicare. last night ahead of a meeting with the national governors
5:10 am
association this morning -- >> i think you're going to see something very, very special. >> reporter: trump repeating criticisms and vowing to scrap obamacare despite republican unity around any plan. >> it doesn't work. we're going to have it fixed and we're going to repeal and replace. >> reporter: ahead of his first address to a joint session of congress tuesday night, trump trying to project an image of success. >> been a lot of fun, but we've accomplished almost everything we've started out to accomplish. >> this amid growing calls for an independent investigation into alleged communications between trump campaign aides and russians known to u.s. intelligence. leaders on both sides of the aisle suggesting a justice department led by attorney general jeff sessions can't be impartial. >> you cannot have somebody, a friend of mine, jeff sessions, who was on the campaign and who is an appointee. you're going to need to use the special prosecutor's statute. >> the attorney general must recuse himself. >> the american people need to
5:11 am
understand whether the russians in cahoots with the trump folks and others rigged the election. >> reporter: president trump attempting to quash the headlines tweeting russia talk is fake news put out by the dems inorder to mask the big election defeat. press secretary sean spicer checking the work and personal phones of aides last week to make sure they weren't using encrypted texting apps or corresponding privately with reporter, specifically asking them not -- >> the president expected to spend more time with the national governors association, and later this afternoon supposed to sit down at the white house with top republican congressional leaders in advance of his big speech tomorrow. chris and alisyn. >> thank you, joe. joining us, democratic
5:12 am
congressman andre carson, good morning, congressman. >> good morning. >> what do you want to see happen next with the trump team and russian ties? >> i think both the senate and house intelligence committees as well as both armed services committee and other committees of jurisdiction are doing a great job at asking the right questions and unearthing trues that are necessary to get to the bottom of this. i don't think it's out of the question to get a special prosecutor. in fact, the special prosecutor would even protect the president, dare i say. you want to make sure partisanship or ulterior motives are not at play. in fact, both committees do well in terms of partisanship. this pushback on having a special prosecutor should not be one filled with anxiety. it should be one that's hopeful and reflective of our democratic values. >> congressman, do you believe that the chaer man of the house intel committee, devon nunez,
5:13 am
and the senate intel committee, richard burr, can adequately and independently investigate these russia ties when they were both sort of lobbied by the white house to speak out to reporters that they basically don't think there's anything there. how can they move forward independently when we know that they already already inclined to believe the white house? >> well, the short answer is yes, i think both chairmen do a great job on both committees in terms of allowing democrats to have a voice. it's probably -- both committees are probably two of the most bipartisan committees in both the house and the senate, let me be very clear. however, if we want to have our due dill lens and want to protect the president, if you will, i don't think a special prosecutor is out of the question. in fact, if he's concerned -- president trump is concerned about democrats undermeaning his
5:14 am
efforts, if democrats are concerned about republicans protecting the president, then perhaps we should talk more about bringing a special prosecutor in to ensure that we have an independent and objective voice. >> is that what you're calling for? >> it's not out of the question for me. i think both committees are doing a fantastic job at this point. but if things get deeper and murkier, absolutely. >> what questions do you still have about these ties? >> i'm concerned about the conversations that general flynn had with the russian ambassador. i'm concerned about trump's campaign manager, paul manafort, and his interactions with the russian government. i'm also concerned about russian interference into the elections, what directives were coming out of the clem lynn. we can unearth these issues, anonymous sources and sources pretty pronounced to see what's really at play. i think in order to protect our
5:15 am
democracy, the founding fathers were visionary in establishing three separate sections of government. >> when will you see the transcripts of the phone calls that exist between mike flynn and the russian ambassador? >> hopefully soon. >> no timeline on that. >> hopefully soon. >> i want to ask about the sneak peek joe johns gave us of the budget proposals, at least the headlines of them, will be coming out of the white house. here is what we understand the president will be calling for, a significant military spending increase, tax cuts, as we know. they're looking at, for at least the wealthy, but everybody as president trump has suggested. no change to social security and medicare and some cuts to some agencies such as the epa. what will democrats' reaction be to this? >> well, a budget is a statement of values. if president trump is proposing to increase our military spending, cut taxes for the
5:16 am
wealthy, cut the budget for the epa, we're seeing crazy climate shifts right now and weather shifts in the midwest and on the east coast, that concerns me. if he's talking about maintaining social security, that's good. but it's not great because those folks who receive social security have yet to receive a cost of living adjustment. so democrats like myself and others will be pushing president trump to not fall into the rhetoric of imposing some european-style austerity measure that my republican colleagues are pushing, but to make sure we're having the right investments in infrastructure, making sure we're putting americans back to work, investsing in our educational system and we should have a greater vision about some of these trade proposals and trade deals. i can't wait to hear what he has to say tomorrow about all these things. >> congressman, do you understand how the math works? with a significant increase in military spending, as well as what you say and what the
5:17 am
president has promised in terms of infrastructure, yet tax cuts. how does it work? >> well, i'm not an economist, but i can say this. i think the american people see the united states of america as being overly weaponized, our dollars into the military industrial complex is arguably excessive. that doesn't mean we should not be ready in case of an attack or in case we need to bolster our presence globally, but it does speak to our values, as i said in the very beginning. using taxpayer dollars to invest heavily in our military apparatus is not necessarily smart. we're the mightiest nation in recorded history. let's look at very wisely using a series of capital infusions across the country in states and cities where we can generate economic growth and put americans back to work. >> congressman andre carson, thank you very much for sharing the latest on capitol hill. >> thank you. speaking of the trump administration, what are they
5:18 am
doing about stopping those leaks they say are the real problem? sources say press secretary sean spicer went to great lengths to stop the drip. will it work or will it get even worse as a result? "the bottom line" next. people confuse nice and kind but they're different. it's nice to remove artificial ingredients. kind never had to. we've used real ingredients, whole nuts, and natural flavors from the very beginning. give kind a try.

oh, i'll do it later today. your credit score must be amazing. my credit score? credit karma. it's free. that's great! um hm. just whip bam boom, it's done. that apartment is mine! credit karma. give yourself some credit. white house press secretary sean spicer cracking down on white house leaks by reviewing his own people. he took their cell phones at a staff meeting and looked to see
5:22 am
what they were using and who they were talking to. let's get "the bottom line" from cnn political analyst david drucker. we know they're trying to cap the leaks, but a move like this, obviously it leaked. he asked for nothing to come out about this and it came out almost immediately. how big a risk was this for spicer to point the finger at his own people? >> if it solves his problem from his point of view, maybe it was a risk worth taking. >> but it hasn't. >> first of all, you'll never stop leaks in washington. if you want to keep a secret, move, leave town. if fairness in sean, maybe three weeks or so i texted him, i had a question. i've been texting him for years. he said we can't communicate via text anymore, please e-mail me through official channels and i sent him through his white house e-mail a question. he's trying to cut down on people talking out of school. any press operation, any political elected official wants
5:23 am
his staff to not talk out of school, not to leak. but then the question is, when you're in the bunker in the white house and everything is war, in the sense you want to be a family, how detrimental is it to his goal to start asking people for surprise phone checks because it's going to rub people the wrong way. >> this is my point, the tactics -- okay. surrender your phone right now and i'm going to look at it. >> take a hike. >> obviously that suggests that you don't have confidence in your people and it doesn't inspire confidence -- >> right. which is a different story. i think that the white house has to get used to the idea, and this is something trump didn't have to deal with in his businesses, that you can't get everybody to sign a non-disclosure agreement and everybody is going to shut up and tow the line. they have their own personal
5:24 am
agenda. so you're going to talk to reporters all the time at different levels, at least reporters you trust, to try to either set the record straight. sometimes you think you're helping. i've talked to people on background, they don't want their boss to know they're helpihel talking to me because they're trying to help their boss legitimately. they can try anything they want, they're not going to cut down with leaks. >> the charge, as with many of these, is hollow. the idea of, hey, we don't want leaks. there are always leaks. this white house is no exception. hey, they don't have real sources. that's obviously bs. by the way, they love unnamed sources. >> they talk on background all the time. >> so that's also hollow. now we get to the big one, the media is the enemy of the american people, back to the american revolution. khrushchev stopped using that.
5:25 am
when we look at that idea, president george w. bush is being interviewed right now somewhere else. we won't tell you so you don't change the channel. he said something about going after the press and how dangerous it is. >> i consider the media to be indispensable to democracy, we need an independent media to hold people like me to account. power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive. it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere. >> impact of the former president saying this. >> there was nobody beat up more in my estimation than george w. bush by the press. he had a shoe thrown at him during a press conference in iraq. >> that wasn't just by us, by the way. >> i don't think it's going to have an impact on how the trump administration runs, but i think he's making a point better than we can make it because people
5:26 am
don't trust us and people think we're biased and defending ourselves, which is, even though the press isn't always fair, even though sometimes we're biased, when we give people in power a hard time, it forces them to make their point more effectively and makes it harder for them to misuse their power. >> that's our job, and thank you president trump, thank you president trump for speaking up for speaking up for democracy, president bush. absolute power corrupts is what he was saying. he was saying it is addictive. that's what journalists are supposed to be tasked with is holding their feet to the fire. it's just nice to hear it from a former president who, as you say, was on the receiving end of this. >> i think the best thing we can do is do our job without complaining because the work product, if it's done properly, will speak for itself. >> we always say, you want to call it fake, knock yourself out, but prove it. so far this white house has made
5:27 am
a lot of allegations but haven't backed it up, have they? >> no. this transgender boy at the center of a national debate after winning a state wrestling title in the girls division. was this fair? why are republicans getting in the middle of this transgender battle. we discuss all angles next. picking up for kyle. here you go. you wouldn't put up with part of a pizza. um. something wrong? so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day? you want the whole thing? yes, yes! live whole. not part. aleve. ...one of many pieces in my life. so when my asthma symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms.

5:31 am
so a high school wrestler is now keying us all into a national controversy. 17-year-old mack beggs, a transgender boy forced to compete with girls in a wrestling championship because state policy requires athletes to compete in their birth category. mack won the texas state girls wrestling title. many now are questioning whether the competition was fair, by the way, on both sides. the transgender advocates say he should be wrestling against boys like he wants to. this is a window into a larger political battle that is fueled with misinformation and deception. let's discuss. cnn political commentator and hoeflt of the ben ferguson show ben ferguson.
5:32 am
what's your take on the tournament, friend? >> first off, take the transgender issue out of it for a second. if you are taking testosterone, a performance-enhancing drug in sports, you shouldn't be able to wrestle, and this gave a completely unfair advantage to this participant. you can talk about that whether you are in your age group or in your sex group that you are associated with. if you're taking something that's performance-enhancing, you're not a real champion. you cheated and you won. the steet has i think some blame for this by having it where they're allowing these test toft rons if they're prescribed by a doctor. that's where i think the big fix needs to come. >> the irony is, if there were acceptance, we wouldn't have had this issue because this kid would be wrestling against boys. >> but even then -- >> ben, let's clarify one thing. the science, you have to be careful about.
5:33 am
the amount of hormone that this kid is given is the minimum standard they can give to replicate the output of a boy. it's not a super amount of testosterone. it is the opposite. they are given the minimum. scientifically that is the outcome, if you look and do the research as i have, you'll see that. but that's not really the issue. the issue is acceptance. if this state allowed this kid to wrestle against boys which is what he wants, we wouldn't be talking about this case right now. >> but you also have to look at their has to be a standard. i think it's not insane or crazy for a state to say that you compete with the sex that's on your birth certificate. that is what i would refer to as logical. it is illogical to somehow imply that this kid is a victim because he decided to do something and to change something and, therefore, you change the entire sport around it. that is the part that i think
5:34 am
many people are sitting here saying, hey, if you want to compete in a sport, period, then you cannot be taking performa e performance-enhancing drugs and do it. but to say we should change the entire way sports is done because of one person and their decision to do something, that is unrealistic. >> but the premise is flawed, because the logic requires -- >> is disagree. >> of course you do. that's why we're having this discussion -- that transgender doesn't count. that's why we're having a bigger debate about what you allow the kids to have access to and what you don't, the bathrooms, the locker rooms. it's all related. people who share your idea are using misinformation and mythology here. >> it's not misinformation. >> of course it is. >> no, it's not. my 12-year-old daughter is going to have genitals waved in her face. that's what you on the left want. you realize that's an absurd
5:35 am
notion. >> one, i'm on the right. second of all, that's not the notion that people on the right will be saying, you'll is have genitals thrown in your face in the locker room. it's not crazy or illogical to say that if you are born a boy, you use the boy's restroom. >> what if you identify as a girl. you're oversimplifying the idea -- this is not a novel concept. with very the fourth circuit who just said what i'm saying. >> guess what? sometimes you have judges incorrect. >> the department of education, the department of justice have said it. courts across the country -- >> the majority of americans, the majority of parents who have spoken out on this issue, and if you look at the actual data behind the polls done on this, they say they don't think it's a crazy idea to have girls wrestle with girls, boys wrestle with
5:36 am
boys. if you're taking testosterone that is called cheating. that is the reason why i think it's absurd we're making this into such a big issue when the majority of americans agree with me on this, that it is pretty normal. it's been normal throughout history to say that it's best if you're a boy to go to the boys locker room and if you're a girl go to the girls locker room. >> what happens when the girl identifies as a boy and wants to go to the boys locker room or vice versa? for you to say there are none on the right who are making about what i'm saying is, is demonstrably false. go to my twitter feed. they are putting pictures of my face on a guy exposing himself to a 12-year-old girl saying cuomo is okay with this because he wants transgender people to have a right to go to the bathroom that you're comfortable in. you're denying that? >> if your argument is trolls on twitter are the majority of
5:37 am
americans, that is sin sanity. look at my twitter feed after this segment is over. we both should agree there are crazies on the left and on the right. >> of course there is. >> that's not the majority of republicans out there, they're not making the argument that you're implying, somehow they're saying people are walking into locker rooms and throwing around their genitals in people's face. that's not the argument of the majority of those that are conservatives like myself chl i've never made my argument. that's a bad argument to be making here. the argument i'm making to be very clear is, it is not insane -- in fact, it's very rational, logical and traditional, to imply that you should have boys go to the boys locker room, girls go to the girls locker room, boys wrestle with boys and girls wrestle with girls. if you're using testosterone, you should be ineligible to that sport. if you choose to change your identity, that's your decision, but it should disqualify you y
5:38 am
while you're taking testosterone because you have an unfair advantage. >> you have to look at the science. it's not like when somebody is taking it in major league baseball because of the advantage, it's done to replicate what a boy would take, not to to be superpowerful. this is about accommodation. >> you change the entire sport of just one kid? >> this kid should be wrestling boys like he wants to, like he should be. but the state law is intolerance in practice. they don't want the kid to have what he wants, so they're forcing him to wrestle with girls. you don't want the kids to use the bathroom they want because you don't like it based on your tradition. i'm saying let the kids go where their want. >> chris, it's intolerant to say that the majority of people, when they think boys should go to the boys locker room and
5:39 am
girls to the girls locker room, somehow not listening to the idea and saying, therefore, i'm intolerant or they're intolerant, shows the hypocrisy of the argument you're making. >> no it doesn't. here is why. >> you don't change an entire sport because of one individual and their views of how they want to be the opposite sex that they are. >> i'm saying the kid should wrestle with boys. that's what he wants. that's what would have been fair here. >> you don't always get what you want, chris. if you wanted to go out right now and go in cross fit for women, should you be able to fight -- >> that's a myth. that's a myth. >> that's a legitimate argument. >> no, it's not a legitimate argument. i let you make your argument. it doesn't happen. transgender doesn't happen on a whim. it's a continuum of time and hormones and pain and anxiety. i challenge you and everybody listening to find me a case of
5:40 am
indecent exposure by a transgender person in a bathroom. it doesn't happen. if you look at the data, the only thing that you accomplish by doing what you say is traditional is that you scar these kids as and other, and their rates of depression and suicide and non-acceptance go up. if you let it happen this way, nobody gets hurt except your idea of what's right. >> no, to imply somehow that anybody that believes in actually having boys be boys or looking at a birth certificate and deciding that birth certificate of male or female should decide what you wrestle and what sports you play, to imply somehow suicide or depression is on me, look, i feel bad for this young individual because now he's in the spotlight in a way. but the fact is, it's obviously not fun for him. getting booed when you win is certainly not an exciting moment. but he chose to be in this position. >> that's true. >> and the fact is, i feel bad for everybody else that lost to
5:41 am
someone that was cheating using testosterone and not being man enough to admit the fact that you have an unfair advantage. as a former college athlete, when you take any type of performance-enhancing drug, it gives you an unfair advantage. when those kids in high school or college lose, that is unfair to everybody else playing by the rules. >> if the kid was allowed to do what he wants, none of this would have 457d. >> where do you draw the line? >> the law. it will happen with the supreme court next month. a suspect accused of murdering an immigrant faces a uj j. was this a hate crime? we have a live report from kansas city next. i love how usaa gives me the and the security just like the marines did. at one point, i did change to a different company with car insurance, and i was not happy with the customer service.

authorities aren't saying whether or not this was an anti-semiti anti-semitism, whether they're calling this a hate crime. they're waiting to see what the motive is. it is causing the ann tranning statement to put out a statement directly to president trump on twitter, calling for the white house to take action, calling for a prime time nationally televised speech saying whether or not your intention, your presidency has given the oxygen of incitement, unlike your delayed reaction to hatred in the weeks since you took office, you need to act fast, boldly and specifically. of course, the concern here there's a trend growing across the country about bomb threats at dozens of jewish centers in january and then within a week, chris, there's been already two vandalism incidents at jewish cemeteries. >> who did it? that's the big question, alison. the suspect in the deadly bar shooting is due in kansas

the headline this morning, there were a lot of things that happened during the awards ceremony. the most black actors ever won awards, the first muslim actor was given an award. do you think that this is a one-off or a trend that oscars are not so white? >> i'm hoping it's a trend. i'm hoping the diversity continues, not just for african-american actors. i hope the diversity becomes even more inclusive, native american, asian-american, latino actors. more and more are needed. i think it's just a better community and better reflection of america when we see these things happen. but i was pleasantly surprised to see what i thought were the best performances win last night. i thought it was kind of beautiful what we saw. i think we saw a reflection of just good movie making and good acting on that stage last night. so let's hope it's not a one-off. let's hope this train keeps running and not running over people, like chris said.
