i mean, the situation there is -- there aren't words. >> the devastating. >> there are no words i don't know if it would describe it. you think about how many people died. 17,000 people. think about that. good morning, everyone. we're so glad you could join us. we hate to start your day with terrible news. but what you were just witnessing, was a miraculous rescue, children pulled from the rubble days after a catastrophic earthquake. but time is running out to find survivors. we'll take you live to this disaster zone. the staggering death toll just

keeps soaring in turkey and syria. >> also, this overnight, senator john fetterman is back in the hospital. doctors are making sure he didn't suffer another stroke. we'll bring you the latest. president biden is going on a cross country blitz after his state of the union address. the next stop is florida. we're going to speak to the state's republican senator rick scott. he is the gop leader president biden accused of wanting to cut medicare and social security. >> we're going to begin in turkey and syria. we're seeing dramatic rescues and time is running out for people still trapped beneath the rubble. it has been more than three days now since the catastrophic earthquake. here you can see this is a rescue team listening for any voices. look how quiet they are. right? they're on a pile and they are limiting the sounds and movement on this pile of concrete so they can listen to see if there is anyone beneath it. the staggering death toll now topped 17,000 victims.

imagine that. you're looking at drone video now. the mass burial in syria. the this is a region that already suffered unimaginable horrors after more than a decade of brutal civil war. the syrian man that you see right here says that 18 of his family members were killed in the quake. he is holding a white -- holding white body bags and waiting outside their collapsed home as rescue teams dig through the debris. imagine this is here in the united states in 17,000 people are dead. i know it's around the world for half way around the world for many people. but this is just awful. i want to get to our correspondent on the ground there. live on the ground in turkey. there's a lot going on. they're trying to rescue people. they're delivering aid to people. there is a fire behind you. what are you seeing? >> well, don, we are outside. this is part of the province,

one of the hardest hit provinces by this earthquake. and this fire broke out right after the earthquake. there are hundreds of shipping containers. a couple days ago the ministry of defense here announced the fire had been put out. as we were driving in, we stopped here. of you can see this fire still going. you can see this thick black plume of smoke. this fire fighting effort. we have seen trucks coming in from different cities. other cities are trying to support the firefighters here. you also got fire fighting jets that have been taking part in this effort. they have been circling the area, scooping water from the mediterranean and dumping it on the fires here. we're still seeing the flames. it shut down operations at this point. we heard from major shipping

companies that they had to reroute a lot of the traffic here. you can imagine the impact this is having on the emergency services here who already have so much to deal with. the city, we're being told by residence, people driving to the city carrying aid from different parts of the country, the damage there is extensive. there are so many people under the rubble and they say not enough rescue crews are on site. you have hundreds of people camped outside the buildings trying to find out what happened to their loved ones. they're telling us hope is fading. >> we have someone in istanbul. a massive effort to get aid to

survivors. you talk about the devastation. what does it look like? >> this is an absolutely buzzing and bustling hangar. they just turned it into a huge center. i'm going to start walking you through. i want you to get a sense of this space. there are hundreds of volunteers here. they're filling these boxes with things that are coming as donations. every single thing that you see here has been given by families, by businesses, by residents. people who just want to help. we keep walking you through here. it seems like chaos. it is organized chaos. everything going in here is nonmedical supplies. sorry, we're going to go around here. what they're doing is putting these nonmedical supplies, i think sanitation kits, clothes for children, blankets, they're packing it up in the boxes as fast as they can. and then they're taking it right

to the end of the hangar here where they have trucks ready to go. >> yeah. you see them mobilized to help the people so desperately in need. thank you for being there. we'll stay with you and keep checking on the aid efforts. >> this morning, pennsylvania senator john fetterman is waking up in a hospital. he was kept overnight after feeling lightheaded yesterday. remember, he suffered a stroke days before winning that primary race last may. he was off the campaign trail until august. our dana bash stopped him just briefly before the president's state of the union address just two days ago. >> senator fetterman, are you -- what do you think about the first state of the union?

>> he is looking forward to it. sanjay gupta is with us. good morning. thairo estrada looking and observing. can you explain to us what doctors are looking for? >> yeah. this is obviously one of those things because of his past medical history. if someone complains of lightheadedness, you have to be diligent. lots of things that can cause lightheadedness. as you put up there, i want to just reiterate sort of his past medical history. may of 2022, may 13th of 2022 when he suffered atrial fibrillation, cardio mi open think and doctors used a thrombectomy to remove a blood clot. he had a pacemaker placed at that time. it was a long hospitalization.

he was in the hospital for nine days. he had this significant past medical history. in october of last year, the doctors released this note. this was just a few weeks now before the election. basically saying he has auditory processing issues. but other than that, he's pretty much ready to go. to return to work. do the sorts of things required of him as a senator. and now you fast forward to this point. he has this episode of lightheadedness. two things. one is that it can just be lightheadedness which does occur in people. it can be for all sorts of different reasons. but also given his past medical history, they have to be very diligent about this. if they're saying there is no evidence of stroke. one thing to sort of point out from that standpoint is that it does take some time sometimes to figure out if someone has had a

stroke. >> his doctors said he would be able to go back and do full work. we never heard from the surgeons that put that defibrillator in, right? so there are still questions? >> absolutely. this was not a full medical record release by any means. they talked about his overall condition but not specifics about the medications or any other thing that he may have had done. >> okay. stick around. we have a lot more to talk to you about in just a minute. >> and this morning, law makers are set to hear from pilots for southwest airlines after the unprecedented holiday meltdown that left nearly 17,000 flights canceled and two million passengers stranded. pilots are expected to testify that technology failures were predictable and avoidable and to

describe the operation as being held together by duct tape. our correspondent joins us now. good morning to you. what evidence of the pilot expected to share with congress? >> we obtained the testimony taken from the pilot's union. it includes these stunning messages that were sent by southwest dispatchers to specific pilots on their cockpit computer. actually, onboard flights. they paint this alarming picture of the chaos that was happening behind the scenes. you can see the messages on the screen. one of them, a dispatcher asked the pilots to identify themselves. it appears the airline didn't actually know who was onboard amid all that crew scheduling problems. the message then ends with, quote, it's a mess down here. then in another message, dispatchers told pilots, quote, no updates here. scheduling is so far behind. we were told we aren't allowed

to walk over and talk to them. they've been warning about this system for years and the warning systems have been ignored. the airlines chief operating officer also set to testify is likely going to dispute some of that. they've been handing out refunds. hundreds of millions of dollars. and they say they have dramatically improved their systems to prevent this in the future. you can expect the senators are going to want more than that. >> yes, they are. dave cohen reporting from washington, d.c. thank you. >> walt disney kcompany going t cut 7,000 jobs. this is a multibillion dollar cost cutting effort. they reported better than

expected quarterly earnings. christine romans is here. of good morning. >> good morning. >> we heard the president tout the economy and the state of the union. and then people open the paper every morning and they see all of these headlines. is there a disconnect? >> well, in tech and immediate yashgs you're seeing a lot of layoffs. disney is a singular situation. disney under bob iger who has come back as ceo wakts another transformation for the company. this is not just cost cutting to weather an economic storm. this is a real transformation of the company into three different parts. you have disney entertainment, movies, tv shows, all that. espn. he wants to emphasize more sports con tekt and park experiences and products. he's giving are more creative control to the creatives to follow-through to the financial results as well. >> they lost. >> exactly. what is interesting is shares popped yesterday. wall street is cheering. this just like they did in a big way with meta, facebook's earnings. >> job cuts is something that

wall street likes to see now. in part because during the pandemic years and months, a lot of companies like disney were adding people. they were doing very well during the pandemic. especially tech companies. more so than media companies. and now they're unwinding that a little. this is 7,000 job cuts. 3% of the global workforce. and you can see where bob iger is squeezing costs out as marketing expenditures. it can be felt throughout the media atmosphere. wall street likes. this the stock is up something like 19% this year. so there is optimism that iger, iger part two is going to turn this company around. >> can we talk about what iger part two looks like? there is a lot to look forward to. they highlighted yesterday? >> they're going to focus on the core products and they're going to have maybe fewer tv and movie content. but better, right? really focus on that. focusing on star wars, marvel. there is more "frozen." my family we have more "toy story." there the is more sequels and

focus on the things that got them there and cost cutting. really focusing on the costs. it costs more to make the streaming content. they're losing monday in streaming. they do have -- they're adding fewer subscribers. but losing less money, they want to be profitable by the end of the year and hope to reinstate dividends. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> kaitlan? >> all right. also this morning, damar hamlin says he is counting blessings. >> one of my favorite quotes is a blessing to be a blessing. with that being said, i plan to never take this position for granted. and always have an urgent approach in making a difference in the community where i come from and also communities across the world. thank you. >> amazing to hear from him. damar hamlin accepted the allen page community award for millions of dollars raised by his toy drive. after he went into cardiac arrest during that, donations poured into the foundation's go

fund me. they made more than $9 million. no official diagnosis has been made yet for what caused his cardiac arrest, the doctor who is the medical director for the nfl players association says he's optimistic about his future. >> i guarantee you, i guarantee you that damar hamlin will play professional football again. >> sanjay gupta is back. he says i guarantee you he will play again. can play again. does that mean he should though i think is a big question a lot of people will have. >> yeah. well, i mean, first of all, that was a very definitive statement by dr. meyer. you're not hearing doctors being that definitive about it. but he also wouldn't say that lightly given his position and given his knowledge of damar hamlin's situation. first of all, as you know, we still haven't heard an official diagnosis of what happened with

damar hamlin. but when doctor mire says this, it portends a few things. there is all sorts of different tests which he likely had done in order to figure out the status of his heart. and based on the tests, tests such as ekg, echocardiogram, heart ct scan, stress test, all these sorts of tests, you get the idea that there is no persistent problem with his heart, number one. but also, the idea, was there a pre-existing problem with his heart? and what those -- given what the tests are presumably negative because of dr. meyer's comments, it doesn't sound like there was a pre-existing condition with his heart either. so that is really it. we did dig into this a bit yesterday when i heard the comments. the american heart association as rare as this condition is, kaitlan, it is a really rare condition, they also say if someone has no pre-existing conditions and all the heart tests come back normal, then even with the diagnosis of this, they can return to play.

so, yeah. i mean, it's a strong statement. the american heart association says you can return to play. but that is, i think, what is driving dr. meyer's comments. >> i think one of the questions is if it was because of this con condition, does it mean it could happen again? >> yeah. a great question. one thing i want to stress is that we're dealing with something that is really rare here. when i say rare, maybe a couple of dozen cases a year. and the reason that's relevant is because there's just not a lot of data than to speculate on things. what i will say is there have been situations where players have returned to play even at the professional level after having a diagnosis. so, yes, they can. and i think the second part of your question is really what is the likelihood that it would happen again? and again, based on limited data, it is very unlikely. we haven't had a documented case

where someone had this and then it happened again. so i think that is what they're taking into account as well. >> yeah. a lot of big questions about this remain. thank you for breaking it down for us. zbl o . >> one thing we do know, he's an amazing young man. if he does play, great. if he doesn't, then we go with that. >> totally. >> he's a great guy. we wish him the very best. president biden is pointing the finger at rick scott as he accuses some republicans of wanting to cut social security and medicare. in a moment, the senator will join us to respond. there he is. up on the screen. >> also, new york city's mayor blasting texas for bussing high grants to this city. why is new york city buying bus tickets to go to canada then? he'll join us live. >> the mayor and rick scott? sometimes, the lows of bipolar depepression

in his state of the union address, president biden accused some but not all republicans of wanting to cut social security and medicare. >> some republicans want medicare and social security sunset. i'm not saying it's a majority. >> you can see kevin mccarthy there shaking his head. that led republicans to boo president biden, calling him a liar. the president did not name names on tuesday. yesterday he was in wisconsin and he identified the republican lawmakers that he was referencing. we're hearing directly from the proposals. >> i have a breaux -- brochure right here that has a plan. it says all federal legislation sunsets every five years. if a law is worth keeping, congress can pass it again. social security and medicare and medicaid. >> the president there was referring to senator rick scott. and today he is going to senator

scott's home state of florida where he set to give a speech on social security and medicare in tampa. joining us now for his perspective is that senator, rick scott of florida. thank you so much for joining us this morning. i think my first question has to be given the fact that the president is now using this as an attack line, was it a mistake to propose this? >> no. first off, nobody bhefz that i want to cut medicare or social security. the i never said it. i never said it. in that same plan, i said congress needs to once a year tell the american public how they're going to make sure the programs don't go bankrupt. in we're in the verge of bankruptcy. here's the difference between president biden and myself. we never proposed it. he passed a bill, a sunset bill. it says -- requires every program to be looked at firstly at least every four years, not just cost but worthiness. and he said when i argue that we should freeze federal spending,

i meant social security as well and that medicare and medicaid, veterans benefits and every single solitary thing in government. i never proposed it. he proposed it in the bill. he fought for it year after year after year. >> you're talking about what he proposed back in 1975. you said he's twisting your words. isn't that what you're proposing now, what you rolled out? >> minute seize clearly. mine says clear. if you worth keeping, we'll keep it. in his case, okay, he proposed a bill that just sunset everything. i never done that. i've been very clear. i'm not for cutting social security and medicare. he pro prosed it year after year after year to reduce medicare and social security. i have never done. that i don't believe in. that we have to preserve the benefits. >> you say he is twisting your

words. he said some republicans want social security and medicare to sunset. you wrote, i suggest the following. all federal legislation sun sets in five years. of if the laws were keeping congress can pass it again. you are a republican. medicare and social security are federal legislation. and you said if it's worth keeping, congress can pass it again. but no one, i don't think, has confidence that if something comes up for a vote every five years that congress is going to be able to make sure it stays. especially something that vitally important to so many. zblr kaitlan, i've been clear. i'm not going to do it. and let's remember, just what, a few months ago, all democrats voted and joe biden signed a bill to cut $208 b80 billion ou medicare. >> that's not true, senator. we talked about this the other day. when you were on the program. that -- passed inflation reduction act, reducing drug spending is not cutting benefits to medicare. >> okay.

let me read you something jake tapper said. this is back when republicans proposing reducing the cost of medicaid. i know that trump administration is excited that medicaid will go back to the states where there is more control and can experiment and be more efficient. but without question, $880 billion is a cut. so is it a cut when republicans do it but not a cut when democrats propose savings? >> what you're referencing, senator, i looked into this. we talked about it the other day. even the senior vice president p for aarp's government affairs said this is fact checked repeatedly and shown to be a lie. in fact this bill saves medicare nearly $300 billion by lowering the price of drugs. only drug companies say saving money is a bad thing. >> what about what jake tapper said? good he was referring to a reduction in costs in medicaid.

>> but how does that have to do with what democrats passed last fall? this is about lowering -- allowing them to negotiate the prices of drugs. basically, if if you budgeted and you got $15,000 and you go and buy a car and it now costs $12,000, that doesn't mean i only have $12,000. it means you didn't spend all $15,000. right? >> kaitlan, two things. first off, what they did last fall is going to reduce life saving drugs. the republicans proposed was not a reduction in medicaid benefits. it was a cut. and jake tapper said that is a cut. so cnn says it's not a cut if democrats do it. it is a cut if republicans do it. i mean what else can you say? that's exactly -- you have, you know, i see what you're saying. you have talked to jake tapper? why did he say it's a cut if republicans do it. >> i'm not sure what jake tapper said is relevant to this particular point is on what you're claiming about the cost of drugs costing less and, therefore, being a cut. everyone else said that is not true. it's been fact checked multiple times and they say that is

simply not true. >> okay, so if they -- if the -- did the same fact checkers go back and look at what jake tapper said? i mean, i don't get why if one party proposes efficiencies, that's a cut. reducing spending is not the same as cutting benefits. >> that's going to reduce life saving drugs. >> i understand you're saying it has an impact. i understand you're saying it has an impact on drugs. that is different though than saying that they cut medicare when they're saving money on the cost of what the drugs cost to americans. >> then why did jake tapper say that is a cut. >> i'm sorry, senator. i don't think that is the defense you think it s i want to go back to this point on medicare and social security. you're saying that is not what yo

your intention last fall. even republicans came back and came out against that including senator mitch mcconnell. he said we'll not have this part of our agenda, a bill that raises taxes on american people and sunsets social security and medicare within five years. even republicans thought that's what you were suggest. >> first off, i think i probably cut taxes more than almost every republican. i did taxes and fees 100 times as governor. i never supported a tax or fee increase. that's number one. number two, i have been clear. i will not reduce social security or medicare benefits. right? i've been clear. i was clear in the plan that congress needs to fix -- make sure that medicare and social security e. sesurvive. does that sound like somebody that wants to cut medicare and social security? in contrast, we have a president that proposed it time and time again. and we got democrats that have done it just in the last few months. >> if that was your intention,

why did you put an xmenttion for medicare and social security in your plan? >> well, i was very clear. it's my plan. i wrote it. i told people all along what i believe. i fought for medicare and social security the entire i've been up here. and i'm going to continue to fight for it. and, look, joe biden has proposed this. he wants to say i have done it. no -- >> did you propose it. >> no, i didn't. >> i wrote -- kaitlan, i wrote the plan. >> i know. >> you didn't write the plan. i wrote the plan and i'm clear about it. nobody believes that i have a goal of reducing -- i don't know any republican that's want to cut medicare or social security benefits. democrats that have done it. you have a president that proposed it time and time again. >> we're living in reality. you're saying your plan passes and this happened. then every five years it's up for a vote. we're watching what is happening with the debt ceiling right now

and how some republicans are trying to use it as leverage. so wouldn't it basically subject social security and medicare to these potential extortion tactics by republicans down the road? >> we have $31.25 trillion in debt f you care about preserving medicare and social security, we'll figure out how to start living within our means. there will be day and time we can't barroworrow money. i've been clear all along. so what i want to do is get rid of wasteful programs that we never review up here. they just get passed. nobody ever looks at them. >> which ones? >> say again? >> which programs? >> there is a variety of things. we don't review anything. when i was governor, there were 4,000 lines in the budget. er year i went through the budget. are we getting the return on your tax dollars? i mean we don't have unlimited

dollars. we can't just keep borrowing money. what is a program that makes sense and which ones don't? 80,000 more irs agents is something i would cut immediately. it makes no sense to me. >> president biden is coming to your state today. you put out a ad saying he should resign. what is kind your call for the president to resign? >> he's a failure. he is a complete failure. look at the people in my state care about. inflation. he caused it. gas prices. he caused it. we have open border. he caused it. w we have people taking risks taking little rafts to get to florida because they believe they can stay if they get there. 65 people died. he put these people at risk. look at the chinese spy balloon. look at the thing go clear across this country before he did anything. and no transparency in his administration. so he has been the complete failure. and now he lies about what i want to get done. i don't appreciate it. >> does this have to do with the

president invoking a proposal you made that caused backlash among your own party and state of the union address on tuesday night? is that behind your call for him to resign? >> no. no. it's his failures. think about it. inflation, gas prices. look at the border. why could he make sure that putin didn't invade ukraine? there is all sorts of things he failed at. >> you think it's the perfect ez's -- president's fault that putin invaded ukraine? >> he didn't do anything to deter him. by the way, 70,000 people dying of fentanyl. i have proposals. he would wont sit down and talk about them. but secure the darn border y can't this president do the basic job of keeping americans safe? secure the darn border? i don't get it. >> okay, senator, this was about the social security and medicare proposal you made. i know this is something that president biden is going to bring up when he's in your home state. so thank you for joining us this morning with your perspective.

all right. welcome back, everyone, to cnn this morning. "the new york times" is reporting that new york city is bussing, buy bus tickets for migrants that want to seek asylum in canada. others called the treatment inhumane. nyc shelters are really buckling under the strain of the migrant arrive will as. more than 44,000 people have been bussed to the city since last spring. last weekend the new york city mayor, eric adams, spent the night at a migrant facility in brooklyn. you're looking at the video there. there he is. he slept on a could the. he said i would never ask anyone to do something that i wouldn't do, that i wouldn't be willing to do myself. the mayor of new york city eric

adams joins us now. mayor, good morning to you. thank you very much. >> good morning, don. good to see you. >> can you tell us how many mi gr -- migrants have been given ticket to go to canada? >> we don't send migrants to canada. that needs to be clear. the we're doing what other municipalities, particularly the governor of texas, was not willing to do. we found that at the beginning of this issue last year when we spoke with migrants, we learned that they were compelled to come to new york city. we're sitting down, giving them health care, education, food, shelter. but we're also asking them what are your desires? what do you want to do? overwhelmingly they wanted to stay here but others wanted to go to other locations. that's what we're doing. that's the right thing to do. >> so is "the new york times" inaccurate that you're buying bus tickets? >> yes, it's inaccurate.

yes, it is. we are not encouraging anyone to go to another country. we speak with the migrant, interview them, find out their desires and make sure that we're assisting them, like we've done. as you stated, in january 1st, 2022, don, we had 45,000 people in our shelters. and one year we had 43,000 that have gone through our system in one year. and we have handled each one of them with a -- in a humane way. >> i want to understand. i'm trying to figure out the distinction here. of you slam the texas governor's program to bus them. you said it was inhumane. i want to play what abbott said he was bussing the migrants and get your response. here it is. >> they need relief and bussing is one of the ways of providing them relief. and thus begin the process of bussing the migrants to city that self identified as safe cities. >> okay. he is saying self identified. you were saying self identified as places where people wanted to

go. and he is saying he is sending them to places he wants to go. >> he sent them to cities that self identify as safe cities. and not only did he send them there, he compelled them. they had to leave texas. and that's a big difference than bringing people in, interviewing them, speaking with them, and finding out what were the original intention ands desires. that is not what abbott did in texas and what he did was inhumane. we're showing a level of humane interaction with our migrants. nowhere else is what we are doing is actually taking place. nowhere else. >> all right. i want to get something else. this one relates to mexico. "the washington post" is reporting that the biden administration is negotiating an agreement that could allow u.s. authorities to carry out large scale deportations of

nonmexicans back across the border for the first time. could this be a breakthrough in addressing the problem? >> i need to look through exactly what is being reported. our concerns has always been to have decompression strategy that we can ensure the entire country participate in the national issue. >> all right. thank you for responding to that. i want to play what president biden said at the state of the union about tyre nichols and policing. here it is. >> give law enforcement the training they need. hold them to higher standards. >> the you're a former member of law enforcement. biden said time to finish the job on police reform. what do you want to see from congress and the president and how soon do they need to act? >> i agree with the president

and as you stated, i wore the uniform. not only i did wear the uniform, i was a victim of police abuse as a child. 15 years old being abused by police officers. i think we need to have real comprehensive police reform to make sure that we, number one, weed out the officers that are not suitable to do the job. and also give them the proper tools to do the job effectively. but let's be clear. every time we take away tools from police officers that are doing the job correctly, we're emboldening those dangerous people in our country and suty. the recidivism is a bad crisis. there are bad people doing bad things. we just lost an officer a few days ago shot and killed. the gun violence and proliferation of guns in our country is a real issue. we must have justice and public safety. they go together. >> i have to ask you about something you said in an interview yesterday.

you said woke democrats are driving minority voters out of the party. what did you mean by that? i wonder if that is really happening? a leader of the democratic party had the nation's attention during the state of the union. he said did he not want to defund the police. he wasn't acting as a woke person. he said he wanted to fund communities. so do you think that minority voters were going to listen to him? why did you say that? >> yes, i think they are going to listen to him. what happened in this country, the numerical minority, they have hijacked the term progressive. i've been progressive all my life. you look at the issues i fought for from police reform, housing, education. we allowed a small number that hijacked the true meaning of the democratic party. we're not for defunding the police. we're not for attacking businesses. we're for jobs. we're for growth.

and when you listen to those who have hijacked our narrative and this is small number on the fringe ends of our party. i support what the president stated and what i continue to state. right here in the city we have a group calling for removing members of their own caucus if they don't sign a pledge to defund the police. that is not who we are. and i'm going to continue to stand and state that we're pro public safety and we're pro proper policing. >> the mayor of new york city, eric adams, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. >> great interview there, don. ahead, can a new harry potter video game revive the struggling franchise? we have none other than our tech reporter here to take a break from playing the game and explain it to us.

divisive and i'm old now, so i don't care. >> reporter: divisive how? >> because of the weird tension between the creator, the fans. >> perhaps has room to develop something new, to iteraten the existing relationship with the fan base. perhaps making it into this big production video game allows the franchise to kind of save itself a little bit from the drag that it's been experiencing culturally. >> reporter: and we have carolyn playing the game live right now on television. the reviews have been really good for this game so far. people love the visual look. they feel it's very realistic. they love they can create their own character. they are learning as they play the game. but some are complaining that it takes a little too long to learn certain skills to then fly the broom. that's sort of what harry potter is known for. and as you noticed, carolyn is playing as a single player. we can't play with her. this is not a multiplayer game.

some video game experts are saying that's a revenue lost opportunity for the brand because when you have multiplayers, it allows you to purchase into the world of which you can play together. you can also do in-game purchases and create new worlds and levels by purchasing more. so some experts say that we will eventually get there, but as of right now this is just you, as your person. that's supposed to be me. but this is the harry potter world of today and as of right now people are really excited to ewhat it can do. this is the christmas for harry potter fans and gamers tomorrow when it comes out. what do you think? >> which house are you in? >> i am it in a bank vault and i am stuck and i need to pete these statues. >> people are saying you get stuck a little too long and can't move on to the next level. there is a lot to do while you're here. >> okay.
