just won the biggest, you know, race and in the country and the whole thing about depression. is that objectively you may have won, but depression can actually convince you that you actually lost and that's exactly what happened. and that was the start of a down a downward spiral. it makes me sad. you know, the day that i go in was my son's birthday. and i hope that for the rest of his life. his birthday would be joyous. and you don't have to remember that your father was admitted. and lawmakers up here on capitol hill have been so supportive of senator federman receiving treatment. they say that they are excited for him to return back to washington to get back to work. you can expect that his colleagues here are going to continue to support him as he

continues to recover poppy interview for him to give and so rare to see. a sitting senator opened up like that. lauren fox. thank you very much. cnn this morning continues right now. good monday morning, everyone right now for president trump is preparing to head to new york city shortly as he is expected to surrender tomorrow and appear in court to face criminal charges. trump's legal team, vowing to challenge every potential issue with the manhattan district attorney's case once the indictment is unsealed, and we find out the actual charges one of trump's attorneys going to join us live and just moments or she is, we'll see her in just a moment here on cnn. also we've learned that trump is planning to give a speech just hours after he is a rain will break down all of the plans for what again will be a historic day and we are expecting to get started up four hours from now, and former

president trump is set to fly here to new york. to laguardia airport as he is preparing to turn himself in and face those criminal charges. tomorrow you can see his plane here still in west palm beach, that's what he will get on and just about four hours from now, before taking that flight. we're told he's expected to leave around noon. that means he would be a new york around three o'clock this afternoon. sources tell cnn that at times, trump was calm over the weekend despite of course, his team now admitting they were shocked initially by the indictment when it came down on thursday. over the weekend, trump reportedly played golf, talked to his political allies and discussed ways to use the criminal charges to boost his 2024 presidential campaign. cnn's senior legal affairs correspondent paula reed is here with us now. obviously, we've seen the way that he has been fundraising off of this, they said. they've raked in about $5 million, according to his team. of course, we've actually seen that in an ftc report. but when it comes to what we are going to see when it comes to the legal merits, and today and tomorrow what are you hearing the latest right now there is a big push from cnn and other media

organizations for transparency. here we are pushing to have this indictment unsealed today. usually indictments unsealed during an initial appearance during the arraignment, so that would be tomorrow. but right now we don't know what the actual charges are. in this case, there is also a push to get cameras inside the courtroom. historically this judge has not been in favor of that. but we have argued along with other media organizations, there is no greater public interest than having transparency in a case like this. one thing i thought was interesting, though, is i reached out to the former president's legal team last night to say, hey, you guys want cameras in the courtroom, right? i didn't hear back so i'm really curious to watch they have until one pm today, prosecutors or defense to launch any objections with the judge that they have two cameras in the courtroom, so i'm really curious to see if anybody has any objections, said moments ago on the air here. he thought it would cut down on the chaos and it was actually i would give it more transparency and less of a circus like atmosphere. i know exactly and maybe more trust in the process, particularly when you have so many people believing in conspiracy theories. polaroid. thank you. simone and i were

just talking about what we're going to talk about here. so sherman, let's just start with that, because one of the big questions is, what are the setups security? when you look at the security for tomorrow, there's going to be the court system is really in charge of what's going on inside the court room. so it's the court officers. obviously the nypd. a lot of their responsibility is going to fall on what's happening outside potential protests, securing that area and then the secret service. this is something obviously very new. we've never had someone under secret service protection. have to go inside the courtroom and face charges, so the secret service will be there. so this all starts poppy tonight when later this afternoon when the former president arrives. he's going to be at the laguardia airport late this afternoon. then he goes to trump tower. and then obviously, tomorrow is the big day when he's going to appear at the manhattan d. a s office and then the manhattan criminal court. and then when you look at the motorcade route, we're going to go from trump

tower all the way to the manhattan criminal court house that's going to probably take about 30 minutes or so. he's expected there sometime late morning. early afternoon. kind of, as you know, folks refer to as appointment arrest. he will be arrested once he walks through the doors of the da's office. he's going to be arrested. he's going to walk through those doors surrender, and at that point he's taken into custody by the district attorney's office. no handcuffs because they don't need them. surrounded by secret service, federal agents fingerprinted like normal, maybe not a mug shot, which would be normal to have a mug shot. right there's a lot of concern over this mug shot of it leaking. it's really against the law in new york state to release mug shots for someone who's arrested, so there's a lot of concern over leaking and there's really kind of no point in taking his marching. everyone knows what he looks like. is he going to flee? i mean, obviously not so the fingerprinted very normal. he's going to go through the da's

office upstairs, and then the arrest process begins. they're going to do the all the reports that they need to file and then what happens is really he just he just waits, and then he goes to the courtroom, and that's when we start to see. there are unknowns like is he going to stop and address people outside of trump tower today? is he going to do that? tomorrow before he leaves. is he going to do that in front of the courthouse before or after the arraignment? how do these officers prepare for the unknown right? that's difficulty with the former president. you know the secret service? obviously the nypd. everyone plans for stops. everyone plans for what happens. i mean, it's hard to tell because he's always goes off script. the thing is right now what they're really concentrating on is what happens inside the courthouse. and so we know he's going to be on the 15th floor where the courtroom is there right now. that floor is shut off. to the public. people can't go up to that. floor as they prepare because of security and then we're going to likely see the former president escorted down the hallway for cameras to see. normally that

shot is of someone walking in handcuffs. they're in custody. they're wearing handcuffs. in this case, obviously the former president will not be wearing handcuffs, and then we'll escort him into the courtroom. and then the big question is, will we get to see him? inside the courtroom cameras with the cameras decision. hopefully today, right ? this judge is known for not allowing cameras incorporate. given the gravity of this situation here. i think it's likely that we will see he's waiting to hear from the defense attorneys and the d a and what they want him to do, and obviously i think they will allow it, so it's certainly going to be an interesting 24 hours. thank you appreciate it done. let's talk about all of that. and more. the perfect person to have on now is donald trump's lawyer, lena habashi, represents the former president. and several ongoing civil cases , but it is not a part of his criminal defense team dealing with this indictment in new york . thank you so much. we appreciate you coming on this morning. thank you for having me, so let's start where they left off. there's the former president or his legal team. do

you support the transparency of having cameras in the courtroom? i think it depends. i think this this whole rigmarole or really, for lack of better words has been through leaks, which i don't appreciate as an attorney . i think that transparency is very important. i'm going to leave that decision to the criminal team. but as somebody who has represented the president in court, i like transparency. um i think that in certain situations, it's a good thing. i do have a problem with leaking of pictures. i think that it's because we're in a campaign because he's deleting gop candidate. it. is not going to help anything. um but you're talking about he'll be. he'll be transparent. you're talking about the possibility of a mug shot. you would prefer not to have a mug shot of the former president. is that what you're saying? alina? the i don't see a purpose in it. you know, the reality is like like the person prior mentioned mug shots are for people so that you recognize who they are. he is the most recognized face in the world,

let alone the country right now, so there's no need for that. there's no need for this theatrics. no do does the former president and do you do the legal team? do they? the unsealing of the document? do you support that? does he support that? okay with you from the city. that's what i mean. everything that will happen, no matter what. i would like to see what the basis is for this. let's remember that the real crime here that we have is that d a brag did leak that there were 32 34 counts. we already know that that in itself is a felony. you are not to let that go. so at this point, i mean, and i like everybody in this country. if the if the same no matter what they don't know if the d a leak that information. that is speculation. we don't have that information so well. it's not speculation. we don't have the information, so it came from their office. so your client has attacked the judge in this case, posting online that the judge hates him that he was hand picked by bragging the prosecutors and that he railroaded and strong armed allen weisberg. why would he do that? i think that's a fact. i

think that we have a many judges , frankly and i'm i'm before some of them who have shown a venomous and vitriol against president trump. that is like nothing we've ever seen in the state of new york and practicing for as many years as i have. i've never seen cases move so fast. unless there donald trump. i've never seen lopsided discovery issues. and i think he has a serious concern. i think that's how he feels, and he has a right to voice that it's a first amendment right considering what happened with january success. you know, there's a concern about unrest here last week, the former president called on his supporters to protest the indictment. he raised possibility of quote i'm quoting here, death and destruction over this case for manhattan, d. a cy vance, who previously investigated the former president. trump said that trump's statements about alvin bragg about in court could strengthen this case against him. listen to this. i would be mindful of not committing some

other criminal offense like obstruction of government administration, which is interfering with or bikes by threat or otherwise, the operation of government the advice that it's legal team is giving him about his rhetoric around this case. my advice to him is that he has every right that every other american has. if he wants to speak out if he wants to encourage people to protest peacefully, i think that is a right that the president has and that i have and that you have done and i think that the reality of the situation is i would ask you. why is it not a problem for blm to protest and encourage protest? but it's a problem when it's donald trump. i think we need to look at the double standard in this country. it is ruining this country, and i'm sure you love this country as much as i do. we need to look at injustice is the fact that he is leading in the polls. the fact that he is the first president to get indicted for something that we think will be books and records in front of awoke a awoke d a. who has literally has 9% from 9% do you

is being missed dismissed over 50% this is who we're dealing with. but when it's donald trump , he's flipping it over short time with you. i would love to just stick to the politics are fox, but i would love to just stick to the facts in this because there's a lot to deal with the there's a there are a number of legal cases against your client, so let's just stick to the facts here. another lawyer for trump to pena said that he'd be filing a motion to dismiss, but he's also preparing to challenge every potential issue is this strategy? you think that throwing everything against the wall? do you think that is what is going on? just to see what sticks here? what is happening? no i think it's the same thing that d a brag is doing with his 32 34 counts of garbage. i think we have to fight everyone can you dismiss when you don't know what's in it? anyway. i think we do know what's in it. we know that this was based on stormy daniels. we know that this was dismissed by the fcc, and this was dismissed by federal prosecutor seven years ago. we know what's in it.

it's a bunch of garbage. even karen mcdougal was brought up recently. there were other people who went in as witnesses to deal with other things other than stormy daniels, karen macdougal and so on so we don't know exactly what is in it. so why would you or any of the legal team any member of the legal team saying we're going to get this dismissed when they don't actually know what's in the end? movement. because even if karen macdougal is in there, stan, that is also garbage. that is something that is aged old and that is garbage. this is an extortion situation that he had his lawyer handle. i don't even know if he knew about it at the time. i don't believe he did. so a lawyer settles and extortion claims gets an nda signed and somehow he's getting indicted. the facts are the facts. we have awoke d a who is now bringing a misdemeanor, stacking it and trying to make it a felony. that's a fact and we're going to fight it. i want to turn now to the doj case in the classified documents at trump. mar-a-lago resort. this is, according to the washington post. washington post is saying that federal investigators have gathered new and significant evidence that

after the subpoena was delivered that trump looked through the content of some of the boxes of documents in his home, apparently out of a desire to keep certain things in his possession. do you know whether he reviewed certain classified documents after receiving the subpoena? no i am i have nothing to do with that case. i do not know you don't know if he because you actually looked through some of the documents correct. no that's an accurate i did a search for the attorney general case. you look at it, but you look at the office in the residence and you did not see any documents. no i wasn't looking for classified documents now, and i think you could read my affidavit. it's public record. no i was looking for tax documents and another garbage case. by leticia james. okay so in response to a request for a separate legal matter, the attorney general and tissues james that you just brought up use for that on may 5th 2022 that you diligently search respondents personal office,

meaning donald trump's located at mar-a-lago, including all desks, drawers, file cabinets, etcetera. six days later, the doj with subpoena trumper classified documents. if you did a diligent search, elena wouldn't you have seen the trove of classified documents that were eventually found there? no because if you look at the scope of what i did, and what i was looking for, it was not classified documents and it had nothing to do with this case. i was looking for tax documents. okay, so even if they were there, you don't think that you would have recognized him. is that what you're saying? i don't know, but i know that i'm not in a deposition right now, and i'm not going to continue with this conversation. but if you'd like to talk about what's currently happening, such as our corrupt system with a g s and are corrupt system with ds and how they should all be brought in front of congress and answer questions. happy to talk about that. okay, elena, listen, with all due respect, we have you here. you're representing the trump legal team. the former president is in a series of legal threats right now, including the hush money payments. the doj classified

documents of georgia election. the doj january 6th probe. and you're here to answer those questions. so in those this is not a deposition. i'm just asking you questions on television respectfully. so if we could just stick to the facts, so, yeah, we can stick to the facts, don, but what you're asking me is something that's unrelated to the mar-a-lago case. it was fairly tisha james's case, and i signed an affidavit and it's very public. i recommend you read it. you testified to the grand jury, though, in this case, what's what's the sense of where that stands? you? you did testify to the grand jury in this case. yes that's not a secret. i testified to the grand jury. so i want you to stand by lena because we have our polar read here who has been following this as well and she is going to weigh in on some of the questions stand by. what do you have, paul? what do you want to say? i think you're seeing part of the defense strategy, right? it sounds like alina hobby is making a lot of the arguments in the court of public opinion, which is to attack the district attorney, which is to say it's his first amendment right to attack the judge, which certainly it is, but i don't think any attorney would suggest

that's a good idea for their client. and as alina just noted. she has testified. as part of the ongoing criminal investigation into mar-a-lago, though she does not represent him. in this case, you make a good point that there have been a lot of a lot of lawyers who have search for various documents at one point in time, and a lot of questions about why classified documents keep showing up, even though the former president has been out of office for so for so long now, but in terms of all these cases coming together, i mean, there is a question. how will this indictment in manhattan impact the other? the other investigations the former president is currently facing. so i think all of those questions are fair. but i did want to circle back. my ifb was not working. was alina able to answer the question about whether they want cameras in the courtroom? she said. she's for full transparency. alina, do you want to respond to what college has said on the question of if they have cameras in the courtroom. that's the criminal that you know there's a criminal team, and they'll decide that this affects other cases. how

this affects other. i don't think it affects other cases. i think each case is different. i would hope so. i don't think one case should affect the other harbor. thank you for appearing on cnn this morning. thank you so much. thank you, the 2024 republican field for president just got a little bit bigger. hutchinson throwing his hat into the ring, and he's calling for the front runner to step aside last of former arkansas governor why he decided to run next. hey man, you could save hundreds for safe driving with liberty mutual because demise your car insurance. so you only pay for what you neeeed. who we gotta go again for what you need. liberty liberty, liberty, liberty stanley old school hard work see untapped possibilities and relelessly work with you to make them real. power outages

. thank you, haley and vivek ramaswamy, and his announcement comes as a republican party is grappling with news of trump's indictment at a time when much of the gop is rallying around trump hutchinson is calling for him to drop out of this race after being indicted, and he joins me now the former governor of arkansas 2024, presidential candidate, good morning, governor, and thanks again. good morning. it's great to be with you this morning. obviously my thoughts all of our thoughts of the people of arkansas, five dead after the horrible, tragic weather over the weekend, so we're thinking about all of them. let's start with trump and then will quickly move on to the actual issues that people will be judging you on. um you have said that you don't believe trump should be in this race anymore because he has been ah, indicted. do you see this as the beginning of the end for trump politically? but not necessarily . there's a presumption of innocence that goes with him as any criminal defendant is charged. but i said that he

should step aside simply because there is the more guards should be given to the office of presidency than any individual person their concerns, but he's not, but he's not going to step aside. it's going to get to decide on this. and i'm okay with that the voters should decide this. but that's just a principle that i followed through my public career that the office is more important than the individual who's seeking it. former prosecutor former u s attorney actually and i thought it was really interesting that following trump's indictment, you said, quote. we don't want to erode confidence in our entire criminal justice system simply because we don't like the beginning parts of a case. it puts you in stark contrast to almost all of your fellow republicans in office who have been slamming this investigation before knowing the facts and slamming the district attorney brag, and i wonder why you think they're wrong to do that. well i look at our criminal justice system and it's really the hallmark of our democracy. it's

the rule of law. you look at china. you look at mexico. you look at so many countries and there's corruption. it's unreliable. and so i rule of law sets the united states apart. and while we have flaws in it that always need to be corrected and adjusted. everything we do should not be undermining our system. and so there's thousands of people that are charged every day. some are acquitted of those charges, and the system works and ultimately, a jury decides these issues. so uh, if i was a prosecutor, i would not have brought this case because i don't think it measures up based upon the facts that i know now. but let's let the facts come out . people can make their judgment on this, and ultimately the system is going to work. we don't know the facts. so let's move on to some of the key issues. obviously the tragic school shooting and nashville just a week ago. today you lead the nra's response to sandy hook and that massacre at that

elementary school and assessing what could be done differently. so far this year, there have been more mass shootings. then days in the year. guns are the leading cause of death now for young americans and arkansas has the fifth highest rate of firearm deaths in the country. i wonder if you agree with your republican colleagues have said in the past few weeks, congress is essentially done all it's going to do on guns. well i think they're expressing it correctly that we look at the challenge of firearms in the schools and we need to have improved security. we need to continue investing that and also the mental health counseling that's important in our schools and identifying those that might be a threat. and so that's the approach that i think is constitutional. and there being a political reality as well that there was a bipartisan bill that was passed, led by senator cornyn, and that passed this

last session, so i don't expect any additional action is being taken. but let's continue as we have in arkansas. we've invested in school safety. we had our own commission. we looked at how we can support our local schools and increasing the safety. it's tragic. what happened in nashville. that was a private school and i hope that, uh, the families will, uh, have all the compassion that is appropriate under the circumstances. heart goes out to them. you talk about school security. i would just note there were armed guards at both parkland and that you've aldi and still this happened. i wonder if you if you become the republican nominee, and if you were to be elected president, would you sign international law raising the age to purchase an ar 15 to 21. because you yourself floated the idea last year. i think that i mean, if congress came into a consensus on that that's something that can be looked at. uh and so i'm

open to that. yes whenever you look at the bipartisan bill that passed, they approached a different way, which was to enhance the background check information that can look at additional records to assure somebody that wasn't violent as a juvenile would have access as soon as they turned 18. so they approached it that way that should provide additional protections. every time we have a school incident, we should be looking at those facts as to how we can close the gap, or we can improve the circumstances to protect our children better. i want to talk about the issue of abortion because last year you told my colleague dana bash on this network that if roe versus wade were overturned, arkansas's near total ban on abortion should be revisited and provide exceptions for rape and incest, which is it does not provide in the current law that you signed as governor will roe versus wade has been overturned. so if you were president would you sign any legislation that would codify protections for abortion

for victims or raper and of rape or incest? well, the answer is, yes, i would if that came to my desk at the same time. when roe versus wade was reversed, it returned the authority to the states and the states now can govern it. so arkansas makes its healthcare decisions legislatively, but mississippi, new hampshire, iowa, every state will make their own decisions under the current law and the reversal of roe versus wade. it's a state prerogative and you'll see different decisions by that's right unless congress were to codify protections nationally, let me let and that's that's what i was emphasized. yeah i do support those three exceptions, rape and incest and life for the mother appreciate you clarifying that. let me ask you to final quick thing, sir. why do you want to be president? i want to be president because i've had a

history of public service when their country is in challenging times. i want to be able to offer my experience and my vision for a greater america. i believe that our president should call on call on bring out the barreca and not calling its worst instincts. that's the kind of leadership that i believe is important. that i can offer for this country. let's bring out the best of our country. my experience solving border challenges, immigration issues, security issues, reducing taxes and arkansas a consistent conservative record. that guy can bring to the leadership of this country. i believe that's important and a message that is optimistic for our country's future. you were head of the dia . next time we have you on. we'll talk about the opioid crisis. finally, what do you think your greatest weaknesses this? well perhaps i'm not as exciting event as as some candidates that are out there. i don't throw bombs and, uh,

torches all the time. but i am consistent. i have a track record. that's important, and i have a vision for america for border security for the fentanyl crisis and so things that we can bring people together. i think that's a, uh, great characteristic and history that i believe it says something about the times to consider not throwing bombs or torches. a weakness. governor we appreciate you please come back so we can talk about many of the other issues. sure thanks so much good to be with you today. good to have you don question. why do you want to be president? question thank you very much for that. a frightening statement from the top u. s general why, he says that he believes china thinks war with the united states is inevitable virginia teacher who was shot by one of her six year old students, has now filed a lawsuit against the school. her allegations ahead.

potentially lower that risk. in my analysis of china. is that at least their military and perhaps others have come to some sort of conclusion that war with the united states is inevitable. i don't believe war is inevitable. i don't think it's imminent. but i do think that we need to be very, very pragmatic and cautious going forward and we will reduce the likelihood of war if we remain really, really strong relative to china and china knows that we have the will to use it if necessary. cnn's natasha bertrand is joining us live this morning from the pentagon. natasha these comments were really notable coming from millie. obviously you know he's chairman, joint chiefs of staff only for several more months, but he was talking about lowering the rhetoric when it comes to china. notable comment there. very notable. caitlin it's something that the chairman has been saying essentially that china believes , according to the u. s intelligence that war with the united states is going to be quote inevitable, and that is because again, according to chairman millie, there is a

sense in the chinese government that the chinese president wants their military to be able to take over the island of taiwan by the year. 2027 so what millie believes in what the u. s military tends to believe. is that that is going to potentially take place that the chinese are going to try to absorb taiwan militarily here. so what millie has been saying is that the u. s needs to prepare taiwan for that possibility, right? and he added in those remarks that he believes the u. s actually needs to speed up its shipment of weapons and arms to taiwan in order to prepare them for that possibility, but again, he is saying all of this as a hypothetical he believes it is important to get taiwan ready for this possibility, but that he does not necessarily believe it is inevitable. however as the u. s military has said repeatedly and as biden has said the u. s of course, is prepared to come to taiwan's defense. if china does try to make a move on it, caitlin and we should also point out that kevin mccarthy has just confirmed he will be meeting with the president of taiwan on wednesday in california will be watching that

natasha bertrand, thank you. and new this morning on cnn, abby's warner, the virginia teacher who was shot by her six year old student, is suing the staff at elementary school for $40 million in damages for failing to take action. when there were concerns the boy had a firearm the day of the shooting. the lawsuit alleges that the school administrators and the school board we're also aware of the child's history of random violence, including strangling a teacher while in kindergarten and that his parents refused to place him in special education classrooms. this morning warmers . lawyers spoke to nbc explaining who this lawsuit is against. and why. the allegations are and we believe the facts will support the fact that they knew that they had three complaints. and then eventually a teacher comes down there and says one of the students is actually seen the gun at that point in time. you have a ticking time bomb in the school and the school failed to do anything about it. that's what they've maintained up until

today that that is just part of the job. it's an assumption of the job that he for first grade teacher is going to be shot by their own students, six year old that is unacceptable. that's outrageous, and that's not what happened here at cnn reached out to the attorney for the newport news school system, the private attorney for the former principal and city of newport's news monday morning, they did not receive a response. communities across the south and the midwest are facing huge cleanup after just devastating tornadoes ripped through the region will take you live next to arkansas. reinventing our network smarter, more efficient routes so you can deliver more value to your customers. fast, reliable, perfectly orchestrated. united states postal service to $173. this is how much you spend every month on subscriptions only have, like two or three. right that's what

on the top. where's her house? there's no house. everything was just gone. sadly this is the remnants of the home where the woman lost her life. and so far this season, we have already had over two times the amount of tornado related fatalities compared to last year. and we still haven't even reached the peak of tornado season. we know that the threat of tornadoes exist tomorrow. from here all the way through the midwest. that's what's so scary haven't even hit the peak yet. derek van dam, it's hard to seal that destruction behind. you were thinking of everybody there. please let them know. thank you for that. and just hours major announcement for nasa's first manned mission to orbit the moon and five decades nasa administrator mr bill nelson standing by for preview. okay?

one of my very favorite song. frank fly me to the moon. nasa is taking a major step forward in doing just that. it's just about two hours. nasa will announce the names for astronauts who will take part in next year's artemis to mission. this will be the first crewed flight to orbit the moon and more than 50 years to get everyone excited. nasa releases video here it is it's a new era of pioneers, star sailors, thinkers and adventures. go i don't go go for launch. our destiny is always to go and see what's further and what's next. movie trailer. it is right hype

and nasa. there he is. the voice was good. you may recognize that there he is joining us now from houston. the man in charge of the nasa administrator is nasa administrator. bill nelson. thank you, sir. we appreciate you joining us. how are you feeling about this? hey what a great day we're going back to the moon and after a half century, you're going to be announcing a crew of three americans. one canadian tell us about about them and how important their mission will be to the artemus program. well we're going back to new moon. but this just the beginning because we're going back to learn to live to create two advent in order to go to mars and then beyond. so this is man kind. humankind's further quest. to reach out and explore this vastness of the cosmos and to understand better who we are, where we are, what we are. yeah that's our that char frontier spirit. poppy doesn't that sound

like space? the final frontier totally does. voyages totally does. it's exciting and you talked about mars, which is sort of the ultimate goal after the moon, but talking about this initial goal, um you told political i think it was back in january that we are in a space race. with china. so the first time around, it was russia. now it's china. talk about that, in the context of political context of where we are vis a vis china right now. and in that interesting russia's our partner , even though on the face of the earth, we're having such difficulty with president putin , but they've been our partner in space since 1975 in the middle of the soviet union and the cold war. uh now china is the aggressor. they're they're good. they have really increase their capacity in the last 10 years, and they are openly saying they're going to the moon

and, uh we want to get to that south pole of the moon before they do, because if they get there, and they say this is ours , you stay out. that's where the resources are. that's where water is and if you have water, you have rocket fuel, hydrogen and auction. that's so important. i mean, i know you've said look what's happening in the south china sea. you believe that's something that could happen if china does get there first. and so we're so excited about this mission and what this is going to look like to find out the names of these astronauts today, but that context you just gave their gave us. they're really shows how how important this is and how serious this mission is right. ah indeed. but it's also a way of inspiring are people look what the apollo program 50 years ago did for generation of engineers and mathematicians and scientists walking in the school classroom in america today and

look at those little faces as they light up. particularly if you're wearing a blue suit like this, uh, they are excited and they want to be a part of it, and it's the artemus generation now. yeah i think that's so right. because this weekend sienna might almost seven year old. her birthday's next monday asked for a cake and said, i don't want rainbows and unicorns. i want outer space here that from a little girl because the last time we saw men on the moon. that's right, and when we land, hopefully it's late 25 on the third mission. ah then it will be the first woman and the next man that will walk on the moon. yeah i think it's important. the artemis program not only seeks to send americans to the moon but eventually are that's great. thank you, sir. it's a pleasure. good luck, and we appreciate you appearing.
