going on. >> i didn't see it. i heard a commotion. didn't know what went on until i was told and she gave me that information. i'm not sure she knew much about it or what happened so all i can say is that person had a right to be reporting. he should have been allowed to report. if they were in any way hampered from reporting, that certainly is wrong and it's not anything that i approve, in fact, i vehemently disapprove of it. >> well, lambert is a national correspondent for news nation. that particular network issued a statement that said the following in part, having handled this unfortunate situation with true professionalism and appreciate his commitment as a journalist whose goal is to report stories that are fair and unbiased. on a positive front i spoke with evan a short time he was, he was calm, cool, collected and already talking about his next assignment.

he was released from a county jail on bail last night. but i'm sure his lawyers are going to have a lot of questions because clearly, he had a constitutional right to be there to report the story. of course, waiting for more details in terms of what happened here. >> i just wonder, at no point in this time line did no one say this seems excessive standing there reporting and i was watching newsnation at the time. he was in the middle of a report and said we've just been asked to stop reporting and i'm stopping and then this happens. >> again, from what we could hear he was just being told he was being too loud. >> yeah. >> jason, thank you. it is the top of the hour on "cnn newsroom." i'm bianna golodryga. >> aim victor blackwell. the chinese spy balloon recovered in the atlantic, these are new pictures handed over by the bureau. officials say understanding its components could be important pieces of evidence for future

criminal charges that could be brought. >> moments ago the state department told reporters they are looking into taking further action against china for the balloon. >> we are always going to protect our interests. we did so in the case of this balloon. we also said today in the release that you mentioned that we're exploring taking action against prc entities linked to the pla and that supported the balloon's incursion into u.s. airspace. we'll look at continuing these broader efforts to expose and to address the prc's larger surveillance activities that pose a threat to our national security and to our allies and partners as well. >> today white house officials briefed both chambers of congress on what they've learned so far about the spycraft. among the revelations, it was part of a multicontinent chinese spy campaign and was capable of monitoring communications here in the united states. let's bring in cnn chief congressional correspondent manu

raj you and evan perez. >> reporter: it's because of that that the collection aspect of this balloon that the fbi is involved and now they are analyzing the first components that have been brought back from the atlantic ocean. they are now, you see pictures there, at the fbi lab in quantico. they were -- they've only recovered limited parts of it. the umbrella -- the balloon canopy, some wiring and some of the smaller electronic parts. the bulk of what they call the payload which is the electronics gathering equipment, the spy equipment is still at the bottom of the ocean. dozens of feet below. you see pictures there of the fbi, their divers along with the navy divers are working together being hampered a little by the weather to try to recover those pieces and bring them back for analysis. we talked to a senior fbi

official on a call earlier today, and they were telling us that this is the first time that the fbi has actually had a chance to analyze and to check one of these balloons, because, you know, despite the fact that they've been -- a number of these have gone through u.s. airspace, none have been brought in for analysis so they believe that this will present a treasure trove really, a treasure trove of information for the intelligence community to learn a lot more about what the chinese were up to. >> manu, tell us about this resolution passed by the house today? >> reporter: yeah, it was passed in a bipartisan basis to condemn the action of the chinese government. this coming after the house and the senate each had the -- closed door briefings, classified briefings about everything that has been learned so far in the house briefing, though, it was tense and it came down in some ways along party lines, republicans including some conservative members attacking the administration over their handling of this issue including congresswoman

marjorie taylor greene, the administration briefers pushed back and detailed their time line about why the decisions were made to ultimately shoot down the balloon after it traveled across the united states and after it came off the coast of north carolina. now, they said that according to sources familiar with that closed door meeting they say little intelligence was gleaned from the -- by the chinese throughout its course of this trek across the united states and said that's because essentially it stopped transmitting intelligence once the u.s. learned about this balloon and also they said that the u.s. believes what they recovered is simply not going to be nearly as much as what the chinese found is not going to be as much as the u.s. will ultimately recover from the balloon, the crashed balloon that was shot down. now, the u.s. believes also according to sources tam with the matter that this was perhaps not dispatched by xi jinping but may have been some rogue actor from the chinese government may have sent this balloon to the united states. something they plan to investigate further and they also tried to make the case they

didn't move earlier to shoot down the balloon because of concerns that military escalation, potential military escalation if they took steps too early here in the process and when i asked congressman mike gal georglagher, he pushed. >> what you know now, do you think the u.s. was right to wait to shoot down the balloon? >> no. >> why do you say that? they seem to think it could have escalated military tensions with china or -- ? that's buying into the ccp's narrative and us defending our own airspace and sovereignty is provocative. i don't buy that. >> i'm confident that the administration made the right judgment about had they shot it down. >> reporter: so the viewpoint coming down along party lines. for the most part democrats defending the administration's decisions but some republicans who did agree with the administration's handling of this including senator mitt romney who emerged from this closed door briefing and i asked whether or not he believes that the united states made the right decision in shooting down the

balloon ultimately towards the end of the process here and he said, yes, he does and that's different from what we're hearing from kevin mccarthy and other top republicans who believe that the u.s. mishandled this issue. >> interesting that they landed on criticizing the resolution, china, because i know that there had been some consideration among republicans to direct their frustration and this resolution at the biden administration itself. what changed? >> reporter: yeah, they were concerned about it appearing too political to go after joe biden so behind the scenes the leadership made the decision to instead change this language to instead condemn the chinese government. now, the decision that speaker mccarthy made in a closed door meeting earlier this week with along with his top deputies and perhaps the vote would come down to party lines and wanted to speak with one voice which is why there was such a resounding vote to condemn the actions of the chinese government. otherwise, you would have seen this along party lines and

potentially some gop defections could have made passage of that resolution even harder. guys. >> manu raju, evan perez, thank you. president biden is in florida today continuing his post state of the union tour. today he's visiting the university of tampa to drive home his pledge to protect social security and medicare. all while trying to draw a sharp contrast with his potential 2024 challengers. two of whom, we should note, are floridians. >> he focused on republican senator rick scott citing his plan to sunset all federal legislation every five years, senator scott tweeted this just minutes ago, about an hour ago. since you can't stop talking about me and lying to flor riddians about social security and medicare i'm sure you'll accept my invitation to debate the issue. cnn white house correspondent arlette saenz is with us now. so the president, did he say anything about that. >> reporter: he spent a big portion of his speech discussing senator rick scott and social security and medicare and the

president really showed no signs of backing down from this fight with republicans as he is trying to paint himself and democrats as the defenders of those programs. now, the president traveled to florida, it has a very high senior and retiree population that benefits from these types of programs and the president really was eager to highlight that proposal from senator rick scott. you saw the president waving a pamphlet in the air outlining that plan, which called for the sunsetting of federal legislation, all federal legislation every five years including certainly security and medicare. now, rick scott today was on our air defending himself saying that he does not have plans to cut social security and medicare but this is clearly an argument that -- a fight that the white house is eager to wage with republicans and president biden down in florida was really relishing in the moment that happened at the state of the union on tuesday and the fact that he hit a nerve with republicans. >> i don't know who they think

they are. we saw on tuesday night republicans don't like me being called out on this. they were not very happy with me pointing this out. but, look, i know that a lot of republicans, their dream is to cut social security and medicare. let me say this, if that is your dream, i'm your nightmare. [ laughter ] [ applause ] >> reporter: all of this is coming as the white house is preparing for those battles with republicans when it comes to the dealt ceiling. additionally the president also talked about trying to lower prescription drug costs and health care cost and pointed to how some republicans want to repeal the inflation reduction act which included caps on insulin and also the ability for medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug costs. now, all of this argument today was playing out against the backdrop in the backyard of two key republicans in florida. that's governor ron desantis and former president donald trump who could very well be president

biden's chief republican rivals should he launch a 2024 bid. the president did make brief mention of both men in his remarks but really focused most of his attacks directly on florida senator rick scott, of course, the president has said it is his intention to run but he is still waiting to make that final decision about 204. >> all right. all of this part of the expected ramp-up to that announcement. arlette saenz at the white house, thank you, arlette. the numbers coming out of turkey and syria are heartbreaking. more than 20,000 people now have died from the devastating earthquake. the rescues, though, they are still happening. a family of three was pulled out of the rubble. you see here being carried in a blanket. a 10-year-old boy, he and his brother and mother were trapped for 78 hours. rescuers heard a voice and then they worked all night to pull them out. >> that's why we've been focusing on why they take that time when things get so quiet

there in case they do hear any survivors there in the rubble. meanwhile, help is pouring in from around the world but the delivery of urgent supplies to hard hit areas of northern syria is being complicated by a longrunning civil war. salma abdelaziz has the latest. >> reporter: we're at an aid distribution center in the heart of istanbul. it's a huge hangar turned into a place for hundreds of volunteers to pack these boxes with any supplies that have been donated of the just take a look inside. it's the basics people need, right? food, sanitation kits, diapers, clothes, blankets, canned goods and everyone you are looking at here is packing as fast as they can. i want to walk you through this scene a little bit more. it looks like chaos but it is organized. there are coordinators shouting orders over loudspeakers. everyone is working as quickly as they possibly can. they know that every second

counts and every single thing you see here has been donated by turks for turks. so whether they're coming from individuals or families or business, just keep on following me through here to see how huge this operation is. each of these boxes gets packed here, again, and then on the other side of this hangar we have those trucks right there. they load them straight up into the trucks and take them right to that affected earthquake zone and we spoke to these volunteers and they all tell us the same thing, they see the suffering. they see the heartbreak right there in the earthquake zone and simply couldn't sit at home and do nothing. this here is turkey coming together. a true sense of solidarity. salma abdelaziz, cnn. >> solidarity in the face of tragedy and crisis there, our thanks to salma. for more about how you can help victims of the earthquake in turkey and syria go to cnn.com/impact for a list of vetted organizations. pennsylvania senator john

senator could be released as early as today. let me walk you through what happened here. according to his office, this all started yesterday when fetterman was attending the democratic retreat here in d.c. the senator started to feel lightheaded and so his staffers took him to the hospital where they ran some tests. they kept him overnight for observation, but the good news is there are no signs according to his doctors that he did suffer another stroke. but clearly fetterman is taking this very seriously given his medical history as you mentioned last spring. he suffered a stroke when he was on the campaign trail. he was hospitalized for over a week. he had a defibrillate irput in and has been recovering from that stroke. he has had some auditory issues he's been struggling with but the good news, no signs he did suffer another stroke and we are hoping it stays that way. >> what do you know about the minnesota congresswoman who was attacked? >> yeah, another scary incident involving a member of congress. so we learned today that earlier this morning, congresswoman angie craig was assaulted in her

elevator in her d.c. apartment building. there are no signs that this was a politically motivated attack. and luckily the congresswoman is physically okay although she did suffer some bruising according to her office and we are learning new details about that attack, according to the police report, it occurred around 7:00 in the morning. the congresswoman spotted someone in the lobby of her building acting erratic. she entered the elevator and the suspect entered behind her and he started randomly doing push-ups in the elevator. weird behavior. after that is when the attack occurred. allegedly the suspect punched the congresswoman on the chin. grabbed her neck. she fought back. she threw her hot coffee at him and was able to escape and call 911. the suspect then fled the scene. now, we did reach out to the metropolitan police department for comment. but they said the case remains under active investigation. victor and bianna. >> wow. >> that's frightening. >> certainly is. i hope she is all right.

melanie, thank you so much. well, the biden administration is rolling out its plank to transition out of the covid-19 public health emergency. >> the national emergency is set to end may 11th. the white house sources tell cnn the goal is to clearly explain, lay out what the declaration does mean and what it does not. cnn health reporter jacqueline howard is here. all right, so what is the plan? >> reporter: yeah, victor and bianna, we just obtained a letter that health and human services secretary xavier becerra is sending to state governors today outlining what will be affected and will not be affected so as we look at this list, here's what will be affected when we see the end of the public health emergency. that includes certain medicare and medicaid waivers and flexibility and reporting certain data to the cdc. we'll see changes with what data is reported. that includes coverage for testing and that also including certain guidance documents for

industry like biotechnology companies, for instance, and lastly it also includes possible changes to telehealth, however, there will be rule-making to propose extending that so this will be an ongoing conversation. now, what will not be affected according to this letter, emergency use authorizations for certain vaccines, treatments, testing, you know that during the pandemic the fda issued many authorizations, those are separate from the public health emergency declaration. here's fda commissioner dr. robert califf. >> they're a little modest because euas are independent of the public health emergency and we can keep them going as long as we need to preparing the industry since day one to be ready for the transition. >> reporter: this transition, victor and bianna, is going to happen in go 90 days from today. so, again, we expect to see more conversations about what the plan is and what will be

affected in the coming weeks. >> yeah, that's going to happen mid-may. also, a new study that connects air pollution and teens. >> reporter: this adds to i'd say our view of air pollution as a public health threat. what was found, this was among more than 3,000 teens in the city of london, researchers looked at their blood pressure measurements and air pollution in the area. here's what they found. high levels of nitrogen dioxide in the air was associated with lower blood pressure measurements and then particle pollutants were associated with higher blood pressure. and we know that air pollution can impact not only your blood pressure, but circadian rhythms in your body as well as even kidney function. so this study adds to what we view which is air pollution adds once again a threat to our public health. >> yeah, more reason to take it seriously.

well, a big win for republican governor ron desantis. just moments ago the florida house of representative as proved a bill to strip disney of

its control over the area and return it back to the state government. >> cnn's leyla havsantiago has details. what happens now. >> reporter: so now this will go to the senate tomorrow where by all accounts we expect this to pass but let's talk about what the house of representatives actually voted on today. they gave it a pass, 82-31 giving the governor of florida more power over who runs walt disney world essentially. he will now be able to appoint who runs the board of the special district that governs that. now, by no means is it a simple setup. it's actually very complicated setup but back up a little bit. this is a special district that has been in place for more than half a century, essentially allows disney up until now anyway to self-govern allowing it to kind of have control and maintain its own buildings and roads, even have its own fire department. they still will have that, but now who makes the decisions of

that will be appointed by someone that is put in place by the governor of florida, should this pass in the senate tomorrow, which, again, it expected to happen. republicans here will tell think is about leveling the playing field. making sure that not one corporation has any sort of special privileges, but, you know, democrats on the floor today really made it a point to as one representative put it go to the root of this. they will talk about the history of how we got here. so let's back up and look at this, because they say this is retaliation by governor ron desantis on disney for its speaking in favor for or rather it becoming an ally of the lgbtq community when florida decided to limit the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom and so democrats say they don't like where this is coming from because they believe this is governor ron desantis seeking

revenge on disney. again, this passed after a 45-minute debate on the floor and will head to the senate tomorrow where it is expected to pass and then the next big question will be, who will those five appointees be and in which direction will they take the special district that governs walt disney world? >> all right, we'll be watching, leyla santiago, thanks for the reporting. well, yet another legal headache for alec baldwin. the family of the late cinematographer killed on the "rust" film set is now suing the actor. we'll have the details straight ahead. -oh, hi! -you're in a hurry. i'm off to america's best i heard what you said about not overpaying for glasses. two pairs and a free, quality eye exam starting at just $79.95? yes! the exam alone iswort. 59 bucks.

first on cnn former robert o'brien a former national security adviser under the trump administration has been subpoenaed by special counsel jack smith. this is in relation to the investigations into classified documents at mar-a-lago along with trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. >> cnn's paula reid broke this story. paula, tell us what you know. >> reporter: well, victor, our colleague and i have learned o'brien is sought as a potential witness in both a special counsel jack smith's ongoing investigations and it's clear why he could potentially be valuable in both of these probes, of course, he was a top official in the trump administration, but considered resigning after the violence on january 6th though he did stay on in the administration and also the national security council should have been involved in the handling of classified documents at the end of former president trump's

term. so he could also potentially have some information about how those documents ended up down at mar-a-lago but i will caveat the end of the trump administration was quite chaotic and didn't necessarily do everything by the book. now, previously o'brien has tried to assert privilege in response to some other requests from prosecutors so it's unclear exactly how much information they'll be able to get from him. now, we've also learned former acting homeland security secretary chad wolff was also interviewed by justice department lawyers. now, unlike some other witnesses that we've seen recently have gone before the grand jury, he was interviewed by investigators, a pretty standard step in any investigation, but this is all just a reminder special counsel jack smith may not be in the headlines right now, but he is conducting a very active and ongoing investigation. >> all right, paula reid, thank you. we turn back to our top story this hour, the fbi has just updated lawmakers with some of what they've learned while examining the remains of that

shot down chinese spy balloon. officials now say the balloon was, indeed, capable of monitoring u.s. communications and was part of a larger mu multicontinent chinese espionage program. i'm joined now by chris stewart. he represents utah and serves on the intelligence committee. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. you have been briefed thus far and republicans and democrats seem a bit divided as to whether now knowing what they do whether the u.s. acted accordingly given what we know about this spy balloon. where do you stand? did the u.s. do the right thing by waiting until it was off the u.s. mainland. >> that was better perhaps than shooting it down while it is over our mainland. there was a threat to people on the ground were that to happen, but i think where we made a mistake was not to intercept the balloon before it entered our airspace. we were monitoring it for days and know with a fair degree of accuracy where it was going to be and we should have intercepted and destroyed it,

again, before it entered our airspace as wane able to loiter over our country for three or four days including over some of the most sensitive missile sites and military sites. i think that's the mistake we made and, by the way, i know there are some differences between republicans and democrats on this issue, but there really are only a few. most of us, i think, have reached a consensus this is just not something we can ever allow and we should not have allowed it the first time. >> back to why it wasn't shot down over the aleutian aisles over alaska, i'm sure you were briefed as we are reporting that the dia had warned that a foreign object was heading to the u.s. mainland but it wasn't marked as urgent and, thus, it wasn't passed along as such. did you get any explanation as to why that was the case? >> i think that there were probably -- i don't want to say discrepancies but a weakness and a structural weakness. this is something new. we knew china had this capability but hadn't really

seen it before. haven't seen a balloon that was on the trajectory this one was on as we've already talked about here that was going to take it over the entire united states, and so because we haven't seen it before i don't think we leaned as far forward into being prepared for this and, you know, that's unfortunate but the good news is, again, we understand what went wrong there. we're going to be able to correct that now. i know the department of defense and others who have eyes on this are certainly aware of this and taking i think aggressive steps to preclude this from happening again and being caught really quite unaware as we were in some aspects. >> officials also say that they're confident that the balloon didn't get any sensitive data on u.s. nuclear sites. but they also weren't able to provide any specifics as to what information the balloon did glean. what do you make of that, and do you get a sense that you will get some of that information? >> i think we will get some and so there's actually two questions there. to the first one, i mean they're confident they didn't get

sensitive information. we don't know that at all. i mean, as you know, this thing hovered or loitered for quite a while over one of our missile feels and we just don't know what information they gleaned or what information they were able to transmit. >> do they provide any follow-up as to that claim there was no sensitive information that the balloon got? >> no, not at all and they just don't know that yet. we may never know what information they gleaned from that. but, again, we know there was a reason it was there and certainly got very sensitive information. so, you know, i don't think we want to diminish or to -- you know, just be blind to the fact that it was over the sites for a long period of time. it almost certainly had a data capability, data links to satellites. we don't really know what they were looking for. now, when we look at the wreckage we'll learn some stuff. it will be interesting to see, for example, let's take a look at the chips and take a look at some of the technology embedded in some of this technology. where did these chips come from?

things like that will be valuable as well. >> ritchie torres said that he's going to introduce legislation that would require congress to receive notification of any sort of future foreign surveillance air incursions over the united states. would you support such legislation? >> yeah, i think i would. i mean, there would be no downside to that. it's not like it would be a secret that would, you know, in any way endanger national security if that were leaked and, of course, that's part of the concerns we have, when we make it broadly available to all of congress sometimes that information is leaked as we have all seen in the past. this wouldn't be a concern in that area. i got to tell you, although i would support the legislation i'm not sure that it's very helpful in the sense that, you know, for us to know these balloons are on their way. our policy still should be we don't allow them to penetrate our airspace. we don't allow them to fly over our missile sites, over sensitive military installations and don't allow them to endanger u.s. citizens by the potential for one of these things

self-destructing as we suspect they had that capability or potentially carrying weapons with them as well. >> we know it's happened before undetected as well over the past few years. let me ask you about another committee you are currently sitting on. today was the first hearing of the house weaponization committee. what exactly was accomplished today? >> well, the hearing is still ongoing. i stepped out to come and talk to you. i think it's a good start. i think we were able to raise some of our concerns as republicans about the weaponization of some agencies, the department of justice and fbi and to be very, very clear, i'm not saying the entire fbi is corrupt. i'm not saying we should defund the fbi but there are clear concerns at senior leadership and some activities we've seen in the past and some of our democratic colleague, you know, were quick to point out and i understand why they say you shouldn't attack the fbi. you're going to, you know, increase the distrust of them and perhaps even they gave examples of threats to fbi agents. i, of course, don't support that.

but no agency, no federal agency is above criticism. and when you see instances that give us grave concern, it's perfectly fair for us to try to investigate those, to try to share with the american people what we're learning. we don't want to say every fbi agent is bad or politicized because the truth is that they're not. most of them are just hard-working people trying to do a good job but there is clear concerns with some of these agencies and hope to again discover that and share it with the american people. >> we hope to have you back so you can share anything you're learning with us whenever you can. congressman chris stewart, thank you. the family of the cinematographer killed on the "rust" film set says they're suing alec baldwin and the production company. we'll tell you what they're saying next. cold coming on? zicam is the number one cold shortening brand! highly recommend it!t! zifans love zicam's unique zininc formula. it shortens colds! zicam. zinc that cold! ♪ we all have a purpose in life - a “why.”

more legal trouble for alec baldwin. the family of the cinematographer who was killed on the "rust" movie set in 2021 is now suing the actor and the film's production company. >> last fall a settlement was reached between baldwin, the production company and halyna's widow. tell us more about the new legal action. >> reporter: there was a press conference a few moments ago and attorney gloria allred led that press conference. she is representing halyna hutchins' parents and sister who currently live in ukraine and, you know, she says this family has experienced emotional distress, trauma and they are seeking, you know, financial compensation for that. although there's no number that has been set to that but this lawsuit has been filed in california today against alec baldwin and "rust" productions and we have a little bit of that

press conference for you now. take a listen. >> well, the settlement was for matthew and his child and we are now representing others in the family, mom, dad and sister, and there has been no settlement for them. as a matter of fact, there has been no outreach to them by mr. baldwin to even say he was sorry. so we want accountability and justice for them, it's as simple as that. >> so what gloria allred is talking about is that there already was a settlement between halyna's husband matthew hutchins and alec baldwin where they agreed a few months ago that they were going to actually go forward and finish the movie "rust" that he was going to get some profits from that and that, you know, they released this joint

and since then alec baldwin and hannah gutierrez reid have been charged with two counts of manslaughter each. this is potentially go to go to trial, and now woo vethis civil suit. we don't know what helena hutchins husband, matthew, think of all this. we do know the family is in ukraine. they're obviously veelena. and like gloria all hp red says they feel anyone responsible for her loss must be responsible. in just a few weeks we're going to have that first hearing for this criminal trial, so it's unclear if alec will be going to new mexico or appearing virtually, so it's going to be that moment where they're going to go before a judge and see is this moving forward or go to trial. we know alec baldwin through his attorney said he's not going to accept a plea deal. >> it's going to be up to a

sunday's super bowl will be a battle for bragging rights between two brothers. jason kelce is the star defensive lineman for the eagles. travis kelce, star tight end for the chiefs. >> they're the first two siblings ever to compete against each other in the super bowl as players. so as a mom i'm terrified for

their mother. i know this is really exciting and the first time, and they should be so excited to do this. but as i mom i just feel for her. >> yeah, and her sons are two of the greatest characters in the game today, and they've been attached at the hip. they both went to the university of cincinnati. they both already have super bowl win under their bemt, and they're both likely going to go into the hall of fame someday. you would think, though, with this sunday to your point mom would be in quite the predicament, but here she was this morning talking to our poppy harlow. >> it's going to be easy. you know, i have stand and cream the entire day. they're both on offense. every time someone has the ball i'll be clapping, and i will go to the post game hotel after the ceremony and i'll give my son a huge hug and a kiss because

there's nothing i can say that would mean anything at that point. he's going to be a broken person. he'll be happy for his brother. >> i got to meet ms. dona yesterday. she was absolutely glowing as you can imagine. she said travis is more of a mamas boy. they both got good grades, but travis took ap courses so that doesn't count. >> let me ask you about the half time show, rihanna performing. what's she singing? >> now we're talk. this is the first performance in several years. 2016 was her last album release, obama was still the president so she said she was still feeling this dopting feeling when they asked her to do it, but she said

i've got to do it because something powerful happens when you become a mom, you feel like you can take on the world. she has an 8 month old son at home and she wanted to show i wasn't going to back down from a challenge. here part of her talking about the challenge of this show. >> i've been so focused on the super bowl i totally forgot my birthday is coming up. i'm just super bowl, super bowl, super bowl. so a lot of preparation, a lot of moving parts. and this week, this is the week that it really is being tested. i mean it's literally like 300 to 400 people breaking the stage down and building it back up and getting it out in eight minutes. it's incredible. it's almost impossible. >> now, rihanna did say of this great challenge the most challenging part was trying to figure out her 13-minute set list.

she said there'd been like 39 different versions and the world is waiting to see what it could go. >> we're going to take this opportunity to play some music from rihanna. let's just play it. ♪ >> i wish you could see him. there's a table covering his footwork down here. >> everybody is listening to this on the radio. that's why. we did it for you. >> you play a little beyonce you'll get victor wiggling a little bit. you might see something. >> all right, thank you,
