schoolchildren at the african- american history and culture museum in washington. she told them that juneteenth is a day to celebrate the principle of freedom. to our viewers, thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in the situation room. erin burnett, our friend starts right now. a republican candidate armed and appearing with a tactical team calls on his supporters to hunt down fellow republicans. as a general six select committee is poised to hear from top republicans who stood up to trump's allies and had their own lives threatened. plus, russia acknowledging he has captured two americans fighting in ukraine accusing them of committing legal crimes. the fiance, one of them is upfront tonight. help wanted, the ceo of one of the biggest airlines in the world, pleading with the u.s.

government to help as it is buckling under record cancellations and delays. let's go up front. i'm poppy harlow in for erin burnett. outfront tonight, hunting down enemies. a republican senate candidate is calling on voters to take down members of his own party. republicans in name only, he said, pretending to hunt down maga opponents, a tactical team breaks down the door of a home, sets off smoke bombs and runs through with their guns drawn. he follows them in and says, quote, joined the maga crew, get a rino hunting permit, there is no begging limit, no tagging limit, it doesn't expire until we save our country,". the fraternal order of police condemning the ad, saying it sends a dangerous message that it is somehow acceptable to kill those with different political beliefs is beyond disturbing, and this violence needs to be called out. also comes at a time when the

united states is on track this year to break the record for mass shootings and the department of homeland security is warning of threats fueled by misinformation, and allies like the ones about a stolen 2020 election. those lies drove the texas republican party over the weekend to pass a stunning new resolution, stating, quote, we reject the certified results of the 2020 presidential election, and we hold that acting president joseph robinette biden junior was not legitimately elected by the people of the united states. tomorrow, january 6th committee will focus on trump's efforts to get states to overturn the election, and one of the only two republicans on the january 6th committee, adam kinzinger tweeted a letter addressed to his wife that reads in part he not only broke his oath, he sold his soul, therefore, although it might take time, he will be executed. kinzinger warning the attacks fueled by trump's allies will continue.

>> there is violence in the future, and until we get a grip on telling people the truth, we can't expect any differently. >> life in washington tonight, evan, i know you're getting a lot of information about testimony the american people will hear tomorrow, including one poll worker who will detail threats she received. >> reporter: that's right, poppy. i think what you are going to hear tomorrow are some of the consequences of those lies, not only from those you hear from adam kinzinger, but those from elected officials in georgia. brad raffensperger and yates stirling who stood up to the former president who was urging them to find just the right amount of votes to make the difference for him in georgia, as well as the former speaker of the house in arizona, rusty bowers. they are going to be describing the direct pressure they were under from the white house in order to turn those states over, the vote totals for the

state's two former president trump. then, you will hear from shaye moss who was an election worker in georgia. she describes in graphic detail the threats that really she and her entire family have come under because of these specific lies being told by not only the former president, where people around him, people said there were suitcases full of votes being taken into a voting center in atlanta. i will just redo just a part of her statement. we have her prepared remarks from tomorrow's hearing. here is what she says. i have to live with these lies every single day, before december 2020, i was never scared of people knowing my name. she says i did not realize how much i loved my job until it was taken away from me by a few

people who decided that their lie was more important than my life. this is a woman, shaye moss, she is somebody who is a third- generation, who's worked as an election, a poll worker. she says the result of what the president, the former president did at the end of 2020 election has really upended her life and the lives of these other officials who will be testifying tomorrow. >> really sheds a light on what is to come. thank you for the reporting from washington. outfront now, former metropolitan police officer who responded to the generous sixth attack, michael flynn known was attacked so violently by the mob, thank you very much for being with me. let's begin with congressman kinzinger if we could because here is part of what he said. he said there is violence in the future. he is saying if this doesn't stop now, if these lies don't stop, more violence will happen. i wonder if you agree, are you

concerned an event like january 6th could happen all over again? >> absolutely. i agree with adam's remarks. it's easy to agree with because we are living -- we are in the midst of political violence in this country, politically motivated violence. we've also endured it in the not so distant past. so, absolutely, you know, logic would tell you we are going -- we are headed to a very dark place in this country. >> i wonder if because you have been an outspoken critic, consistently, of president trump since what happened to you since the insurrection and for his supporters, for what happened on that day, i wonder if you are concerned, personally, for your own safety? i mean, look at that letter the congressman's wife got. >> yeah. i saw the letter, it was

disgusting. unfortunately, since i've started becoming outspoken, i suffered and members of my family have suffered similar threats. i've had individuals come look for me at places where i used to reside. that has just become a new normal for me, and unfortunately for members of my family as well. >> how do you live with that? what kind of threats are coming to places where they think you live or you or your family might be, what else are they saying and how do you get through each day knowing this is what continues to come your way? >> well, i had a career in law enforcement that spanned two decades. i work in narcotics, and personal security for most

police officers is a daily -- it's part of their daily thought process. it certainly was for me. the difference here is that rather than a handful of individuals that may wish to do me harm, and we are talking about hundreds, if not thousands of people who see me as a threat, you know, and have also chosen to target members of my family. >> i'm so sorry. but that continues to happen to you. let me ask you about this, we did hear from the former vice president, today. he called january 6th a, quote, tragic day and he called the 2020 election divisive, but did not say much more on the issue. i wonder if you think it is important for the committee to subpoena mike pence so the american people can hear more from him.

adam schiff really left the door open and potential subpoena when he spoke to dana bash yesterday on cnn. do you think that's important? >> i mean, i think it's important for the committee to speak with anyone that they think would have relevant information to their investigation. it's unfortunate we did not have a bipartisan commission, but the republican leadership in the house made sure that that did not occur. we got what we got. i think -- when i testified, i did so with the understanding that the select committee would not pursue anyone for political purposes, but they also would not neglect to pursue anyone

for political purposes. and so, i think if they feel -- and it's obvious that mike pence has relevant information and he should voluntarily appear before the committee. i've been critical of mike pence in the past because i think the things he is saying are very calculated. i don't think that he is certainly not a hero. i heard that turnabout last week and my head almost exploded. this is a guy who experienced the violence firsthand of january 6th, his family was placed in danger, and in earlier remarks, he referred to it as another day in january. he harped on democrats for making it political. you know, he's making a political as well. >> officer, thank you for your time tonight as always. and of course, for your service for those many years and on that day.

>> thank you, man. outfront now, david irvin, an adviser to donald trump's 20 presidential campaign and has advised candidates running against trump, good to have you. let's start with that video we are not showing, but let me describe it to anyone who hasn't seen it. it is a new ad from republican senate eric greitens and he starts by holding a gun, and he says today, we are going rino hunting, the rino feeds on corruption and marked by stripes of cowardice. we see them with a group of men in tactical gear bursting through that door of a house and he says joined the maga crew, get a rino hunting permit. the snowmaking limit, notetaking limit, it doesn't expire until we save our country. he is a leading contender in this race. i will note, and people should know for context, you are a proud gun owner. what do you make of this video at this moment, especially in this country?

>> poppy, just first of the blocks, is politically tone deaf as you suggest. it's reprehensible and i don't know if it was meant to be macho, or meant to be to fire up the base. given what has taken place, and in and around the country and in the capital, and by the way, in the party itself, steve scalise, the whip in the house was shot, almost assassinated by someone. we should -- we should not be joking about things like this. gabby giffords was shot to in an assassination attempt. we should not be joking about this in any manner. it's incredibly poor judgment, demonstrates poor judgment on eric greitens part. either way, he's out condemning rino's, he was considering running as a democrat, went to barack obama's acceptance

speech, and was going to run as a democrat in 2010, and now is the arbiter of his republican and who is not? it's somewhat laughable. yeah, at the same time, he remains the leading candidate for the republican nomination in missouri. it makes me question, or it makes me just think, how bad the republicans think it is, right? how bad do you think it is and how bad they feel they willing to accept someone like eric brightens because the other side, they feel like the administration is failing so badly that we are willing to accept eric greitens, this flawed candidate because the biden administration is failing us and not listening. it makes me scratch my head on both sides. >> you have republican congressman joe walsh, frequent critic of donald trump tweeted this, to every republican today who is thinking about criticizing this ad, you cannot criticize this and still support trump. there is zero difference between eric kinzinger and the cowardly embrace of trump led to greitens and green, etc. do you think is right?

>> again, i hold everybody responsible for their own actions and statements. eric greitens is a grown man. he is not a puppet of donald trump, i don't believe -- >> can you have it both ways? this is like a maga purity test. >> well, again, in what regards? who gets to call you a republican and republican in name only? mitch mcconnell, eric greitens goes out hard on mitch mcconnell to get rid of him as majority leader. without mitch mcconnell, donald trump would not have the trump administration nominees, his supreme court would not have 20+ percent of the federal circuit are trump appointees. the president liked to crow about how many judges he put on the bench. none of that would've been possible without mitch mcconnell. the president can have it both ways. you can have a legislative horse like mitch mcconnell shepherding your judges through incredibly complex system, and

attacking the guy. >> thanks very much for the time tonight, good to have you. >> thanks for having me. outfront next, barricaded, the supreme court behind security fencing as officials brace for a decision on abortion rights that could, soon as tomorrow. plus, three americans missing in ukraine. i will speak with the fiancee of one of them. russia now claims they committed crimes and should be held responsible. a incredible story of a priest in russia risking it all to help ukrainians believe that deadly conflict.

the supreme court, tonight, behind barricades preparing for protest when the high court hands down a decision that is widely expected to overturn roe versus wade. the opinion could come as soon as tomorrow morning. this as one couple tell cnn the links they had to go to in order to obtain an abortion after they were told their baby would not survive outside of the womb. lucy cavanagh is outfront. >> reporter: joy and eager anticipation. as one oklahoma family prepared to welcome its newest member into the world. >> you are safe to share your news, you get excited, we had the nursery getting started. >> reporter: what should've been a happy time for lori brown lofton turned to crushing devastation. an ultrasound revealed a rare genetic disorder.

>> the dr. kind of explained that this disorder is not compatible with life. it was a little girl. you know, she would not be viable. the most children either died during childbirth or shortly after. >> reporter: with no chance of the baby surviving outside the womb, lori made the painful choice to have an abortion. >> that is one of the most difficult things i've ever had to do, the hardest decision. had i been forced to carry the pregnancy, knowing i would not get to bring the child home, it would have caused so much trauma. >> this was not a decision you talk likely. >> i did not make the decision lightly or easily. >> reporter: at 23 weeks pregnant, lori was forced to travel out of state for the three day invasive procedure, at significant financial and emotional cost. >> you are going to pay with

hellfire. >> reporter: she describes being harassed by protesters. >> the assumption i did not want my baby, you know, i think that was probably the hardest part. >> reporter: this was a long dead child. >> yeah, absolutely. >> reporter: this was in january when oklahoma had allowed abortions up to 20 weeks of pregnancy. today, the state has one of the most far-reaching abortion bans in the nation, prohibiting the procedure and moment of fertilization, with very narrow exceptions. >> i dunno how much clear we can be. we don't believe in abortion in oklahoma. >> up and is in a dangerous position in oklahoma. it is life or death for women. >> that is the blotter, that is the cervix. >> reporter: is a fertility doctor, elliott's mission is to bring life into the world. but he worries oklahoma's antiabortion law allowing private citizens to sue anyone who helps women terminate a pregnancy could have unintended

consequences, impacting services like in vitro fertilization. >> there is a sense of panic among patients. patients are concerned they will have access to in vitro fertilization because it's difficult to read the law and even if you read it, it's hard to interpret it. there is a lot of ambiguities. >> reporter: abortion is effectively outlawed in oklahoma, with all four of its clinics no longer providing the service. if they can afford it, women seeking an abortion will be to travel out of state, just like lori brown lofton did. >> it was incredibly difficult. i still have flashbacks and night terrors and it is hard, and it will impact me for the rest of my life. >> reporter: one woman, sharing her painful journey, trying to end the stigma around abortion and help others feel less alone. >> lucy, oklahoma currently has the strictest abortion been on the books at the moment of fertilization. there are a lot of other states looking to follow oklahoma's

lead on how they did this, and they are just waiting for the supreme court's ruling to come down to act, to trigger those laws into effect . >> reporter: that's right. lori's experience is one that more american women could soon be facing. the supreme court is poised to either overturn or severely weaken roe versus wade, which means the legal status of abortion could be left for individual states to decide and at least 13 states have so- called trigger loss that could effectively be in the procedure the moment it is struck down. if that happens, a lot more women may have to travel out of state to get abortion services. rights activists are concerned this will place undue burden on low income women, as will well as women of color. he could place a strain on states like colorado which have enshrined the rights to

abortion but are overwhelmed with demand. >> what an important report. thank you very much. outfront next, russia, acknowledging tonight the two americans have been captured in ukraine. i will be joined by the fiancee of one of them. today alone, 15,000 flight delayed, more than 2000 canceled around the world. what is behind the chaos? finding the perfect developer isn't easy. but, at upwork, we found her. shs in prague between the ideal cup of coffee and a truly impressive synthezer collection. and you can find her right now (lepsi?) on upwork.com (lepsi.) when the world is your workforce, finding the perfect project manager, designer, developer, or whomever you may need... tends to fall right into place. find top-rated talent who can start today on upwork.com mission control, we are go for launch. um, she's eating the rocket. ♪

tonight, putin's press secretary saying that two americans were captured by running forces while fighting in ukraine committed crimes which would be held responsible. >> they are soldiers of fortune and they were involved in illegal activities on the territory of ukraine. there were involved in firing and shelling our military personnel. they were endangering their life. they should be responsible, they should be held responsible for those crimes that they have committed. >> this is the first time the kremlin is acknowledging that the two have been captured. pascal also saying alexander drueke and andy huynh are not

protected by the geneva conventions as prisoners of war because they are not members of the ukrainian army. i'm going to speak with andy huynh's fiancee in a moment. this comes as new video from russian tv tonight possibly revealing the americans are being held in donetsk. they are also saying in the video he has been beaten several times. we are choosing here at cnn not to broadcast that video. also still missing tonight, u.s. marine veteran brady kerr posse. he's been missing since the end of april. his whereabouts are still unknown. joining me now, joy black, andy huynh's fiancee. thank you for your time tonight and we are so sorry for all you are enduring. >> thank you for having me. >> of course. i wonder what your reaction is, first, of that news but we just heard from putin's press secretary that andy has committed crimes against russian forces and he is not protected by the geneva conventions because it is not a ukrainian soldier? when you hear that, what do you

think? >> andy and alex are not mercenaries. they are not soldiers of fortune. they are a part of the ukrainian military. and they are a part of that military, meaning they are prisoners of war and they should be treated as such under the geneva convention. >> there is this new video that surfaced over the weekend and it shows both alexander drueke and your fiance, and it comes after this photo was posted on russian social media, showing them in a truck with their hands behind their backs. the latest video, which, again, we are not showing because it shows the men under duress, drueke reveals he's been beaten several times. do you fear the same is true for andy? >> i try not to think about it. i'm just trying to stay positive. because i know andy is being strong, so i need to be strong for him as well, and trust in

our government officials to do all that they can to get them home safely. i know they want them back very much as well. >> we all do. for you, for the families and i know you have been speaking with the state department very regularly since andy went missing, can you share with us what they have been telling you? >> most of what i can say is they are working nonstop, and working very hard on this. and that, again, they want them back just as much as we do. obviously, we want the info to come faster but it's a constantly changing situation. so, i am just staying positive and putting my trust in our government officials to get them back. >> obviously, you and andy are very, very much in love and planning a wedding at your church for his return. i just wonder if you can tell the american people, despite

all that, it was obviously very hard for him to leave you. why was it so important for him to go, to fight? >> it weighed really, really heavily on his heart. he saw the footage coming out of ukraine, and he knew we needed to go help in some way, anyway he could, that he could be useful over there. it did not sit well with him to see the suffering and he felt called to go over there and help any way that he could. >> and now there is that video i mentioned on russian television showing that andy is being held in donetsk which is significant, because russia has a moratorium on the death penalty, but donetsk is in eastern ukraine, and allegedly uses firing squads to execute condemned prisoners. if that is correct, that that is where he is being held, what are your thoughts tonight and your words for him?

>> i try not to think about that. i try to stay positive and strong for him since i know he is being strong. if i could say something to him, i would say that i love you, i know you are being strong, and we are working really hard to get you home. >> joy, you are in all of our hearts, okay? thank you for sharing. what you can about andy with all of us tonight. we will check in on you again soon. >> thank you. more now on the third american also missing in ukraine, separately from alexander drueke and andy huynh. he's a marine veteran and a purple heart recipient who was last heard from on april 26th at the time, he was fighting alongside ukrainians where members of the foreign legion reportedly were exchanging

gunfire with russians. outfront now, and don turner, they were deployed in iraq together, thank you for your time tonight, don. >> thank you for having me on, appreciate your time. >> incredibly difficult for you, for everyone who is so close to him. he has a wife, a teenage daughter. how are they doing? >> reporter: you know, they are holding up, they are being strong. grady is a strong man. he has strong character, and it goes into the family just the same that they are getting all the support that they could right now from friends and family. the holding it together. >> you've known him for over 15 years, you've served with him.

i think -- i would love for you to address people who are wondering well, you know, americans were told not to go and told not to fight. explain to them why he did, right? you have said you understand as someone who fought alongside him. >> reporter: yeah. i think it goes back to the reason why grady joined the marine corps in 2001 after 9/11. those attacks put a lot of unity inside of our country and patriotism that we had not seen in a long time. probably have not seen since then in a lot of ways. i think a lot of us and my personal opinion is something i saw from the ukrainians when the russians initially invaded them was there fortitude to stand up and fight for their beliefs, their way of life, and their country, and that resonates within us. i know it resonates within me,

and i feel it was the same thing with grady. he had not the intention to actually be combative, you know, but he wanted to help whichever way he could, and he found himself in the situation alongside with the legionnaires, trying to defend the position, or hold the position and report enemy movements so civilians could flee. >> the state department is classified grady is missing in action but there are very few other details about what happened. i know the family has undertaken its own efforts to try to track him down and what is the latest you are hearing? >> reporter: i mean, we have evidence of a cell phone that he used that was located outside of a mall in that area where he's known to have held

p.o.w.s. at one point, that was early as june 9th. the state department, yes, they've only classified him as m.i.a. they've not really been too informative, but i don't feel like they are asking questions to the right people. we can talk directly to the russians and ask them anything. one thing i do want to note and put out there is andrew hill, who is a british individual who is about to be going on trial was in the same position with grady kurpasi. we've seen him in the media. we saw the state of his wounds, so we have hope that grady could be in the same situation. >> the family deserves answers. don turner, thank you for taking the time tonight to talk to us. >> reporter: thank you, i

appreciate your time as well. outfront next, a russian priest risking it all in order to help ukrainians who are fleeing hooten's unprovoked invasion. and thousands of flights canceled is one of the nation's largest airlines pleads for help from the u.s. govovernment what can washington do? next. there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by a healthcare provider every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling.

a priest in russia risking everything offering ukrainians shelter and safe passage to the european union. what's even more remarkable is he does this with donations pouring in from other russians. >> reporter: the church, a single bedroom in a former factory in st. petersburg. reverend gregory's tiny parish is a humanitarian powerhouse. he has helped scores of ukrainians displaced by what moscow calls at special military operation to the european union. >> there are thousands of people because every day, every day, a few hundred people go.

>> reporter: was of ukrainians sheltering in this hostel in st. petersburg or from area poll, he said he almost completely destroyed by artillery, airstrikes and urban combat. on march 9th, the city's maternity clinic was hit. an infamous incident that killed four people and wounded scores including victoria, who lost her unborn baby. >> translator: did a operation, there is panic everywhere but they said they have to save me, she says. they saw the child had no more vital signs. they try to pull them out and reanimate him but the explosion hit me right in the belly and they could not save him. >> reporter: a double tragedy as her husband, vladimir was also hit by shelling as he was trying to visit victoria, killing a friend walking with him.

>> translator: i heard a loud ringing and i thought to myself i'm dead, too, he says. i looked down my leg and my kneecap had been torn off. i crawled to a fence and screamed help, help. vladimir's leg, later, had to be imitated. thanks to reverend gregory and his network of volunteers, they made it to st. petersburg, where, like so many, they stay free of charge at this hostel, waiting to leave russia. ukraine has accused russia of targeting civilians, russia denies those claims and, instead, blamed ukraine. he and his family also escaped, they live near the drama theater, which was bombed in mid-march, purportedly killing hundreds, though the exact number remains unknown. as his neighborhood was being flattened, he took his wife, his son, and his eight-month- old baby girl, kira, and flood, ending up in southwestern russia.

like everyone here, they want to get to the european union. reverend gregory says russia does not prevent ukrainians from leaving the country. but due to a lack of information, some end up in remote regions of this massive country. >> i have no information. this is the main problem, they have no information on what they can do, and what it is possible to do, when they can go. >> reporter: the cost of moving so many ukrainians, some severely wounded to the eu are massive. reverend gregory relies on donations, mostly by russian hospitals, companies, business people and ordinary citizens, some opposed to what russia calls for special military operation but afraid to speak out. reverend gregory left the russian orthodox church in 2014. it's had patriarch is a staunch ally of russian president vladimir putin, and supporter of the special military operation. >> for me, it was not possible to stay there, when they have a military church.

>> reporter: reverend gregory says he doesn't fear speaking openly about his opposition to russia's actions in ukraine, he only fears god. as he sees victoria and vladimir off, lived on the go- ahead to germany where vladimir is set to receive a prosthetic limb. a bit nervous, but also grateful for the chance to start a new life thanks to the help of reverend grigori and his band of supporters. >> what a remarkable person. i wonder, is the priest facing any backlash inside of russia? >> reporter: he certainly understands he has to be quite careful about the way he communicates and the way he operates as well. on the one hand, we just heard

he's not afraid to say he's opposed to what russia is doing in ukraine but he certainly doesn't want to communicate that much, because in the end for him, it's about keeping all of this going, about helping as many ukrainians as possible get out of the country. there are so many volunteers that he has in russia, russian people, a lot of which also feel bad about what's going on in ukraine and they want to do their part to get donations for logistical support. you saw those two russians driving the couple to the border. that's a several hours journey, just to make that happen. yes, he does communicate that he says he's against what's going on but at the same time, he has to be careful about what he does do it. >> thank you so much for that reporting. outfront next, thousands of flights canceled, passenger stranded, what is going on at airports across the country? eight 3400-year-old city revealed after an extreme drought.

new tonight, one of the biggest airlines in the world sending out an sos amid record cancellations and delays. the ceo of united airlines telling our richard quest it needs government help for operations to get back to normal. listen. >> our focus in the next few

years needs -- months and years -- is to build a resilient system that can handle these increases in demand. it has some margin of error. airlines can't do that alone. in fact, we almost need the governments more than we need ourselves to help. >> it's quite a statement. and this comes amid an absolute mess at airports around the world, as you have probably noticed. today alone, more than 15,000 flights were delayed around the world. nearly 2,200 cancelled one day after 2,700 flights were cancelled globally. and in the united states alone, more than 5,000 flights were cancelled between thursday and sunday. outfront now, richardest request. richard, you know the numbers in and out. cancel laugs es like this are staggering. what is driving it? >> it's a confluence of events, which is not at all helpful to those who are stranded or in

difficulties. essentially, what has happened is that people have got back traveling faster than anybody thought was going to happen. so, more travellers, more air, more requirement for air travel, the whole system did not gear up enough in time. now, i know that might sound extraordinary and we might be saying, how could they have not known two years ago they're going to need all these planes back. but it's a complicated business bringing planes that have been stuck in the desert. and they brought hundreds, if not thousands back. then you had to bring staff back that you'd furloughed because of the way the furlough schemes have worked. the net effect is the system now can't cope. it will. it will pick up speed. it will get better, probably not for this summer. anybody who tells you that things are going to be better by mid-summer, don't bite or listen to them. it's going to be difficult

throughout the summer because demand is so high and the infrastructure system is crumbling. >> it was stunning to hear the ceo say we need the government more than they need themselves. that's quite wa statement. they need government help. can you explain to people what the government can actually do and how fast? >> yes, we're not talking here about bailouts or anything like that. what he's talking about is the government doing its job, employing, getting the number of air traffic controllers back to full strength. it's down 50%, 60%. getting infrastructure projects done so that at airports like newark there aren't never mind terminal delays, just vast waiting times because of runways and the need for more expenditure, terminal aid, for example, which still needs to be renovated and completed. wherever you look in the airline industry, you're seeing the result either of a need of

change of regulation. let's just take, for example, the whole business over 5g transmitters near the end of runways. now, the whole industry came perilously close to basically saying we're going to have to reduce capacity because of these 5g transmitters. that's been sold for now. but you have an industry that now needs to be updated. the planes are updated. the safety is updated. it's the rules, the regulations, the infrastructure, all the bits that make it work. it is beautifully safe, but it is not necessarily efficient. and that's what he's talking about when he talks about government. >> so well put. richard quest, thank you. great interview. appreciate it.
