delta is expecting a record summer. folks are back. we're not buying furniture and electronics. the stuff we got early in the pandemic. we're going to taylor swift concerts and cruises. >> some of us get to go to taylor swift. >> i can attest, it is worth all of the money. it's like the price of a cruise ship to go to a taylor swift concert. >> thank you for that. and "cnn this morning" continues right now. the g-7 summit will be welcoming a special surprise guest. ukrainian president president zelenskyy. >> it's a very dramatic in person appeal, almost certainly for more powerful weapons as ukraine works to regain territory. our country needs to stand together. we stand stronger. disney is scrapping a $1 billion plan to build an office complex in florida. >> this is the latest battle in the war with republican governor ron desantis. he is leaning in, not shying away from this fight with disney.

planning to continue to rally on the campaign trail. >> this party is no longer the pro corporate party. that is a huge shift in america. >> senator feinstein, do you still feel like you're sit to serve? >> new health revelations coming to light, complications including encephalitis. >> we could be left with difficulties of memory. >> we all have health issues. she is performing, doing her job. >> did four children survive a deadly plane crash in the amazon jungle? the mystery and search is intensifying. >> the president's tweet was related and the information could not be confirmed. >> it makes it more difficult to navigate. the rivers are the highway. >> harrison ford fought back tears as presented with an honorary lifetime achievement honor premiering the fifth chapter of "indiana jones." >> you gave my life purpose and meaning and i'm grateful for that. >> good morning, everyone g to

h -- everyone. good to have you with us on this friday. this in moments ago. the white house now says that president biden is going to leave a dinner with fellow g-7 leaders early because he's going back to his hotel to get an update from his team on the debt limit negotiations. the crisis back in washington has been overshadowing biden's crucial foreign trip during a critical moment in russia's invasion of ukraine. we're now learning also this morning that ukrainian president zelenskyy is also going to japan to meet face-to-face with president biden and the other g-7 leaders. sources tell cnn he's going to arrive saturday evening and meet with them on sunday. just this morning, the g-7 leaders put out a statement vowing to support russia, vowing to support ukraine against russia's brutal invasion for, quote, as long as it takes. we're told big topic of discussion will be whether or not to send the f-16 fighter jets to ukraine's air force to potentially help them turn the tide in this war. sources say the u.s. is now signalling it will not block

u.s. am lies from exporting them. >> he's been on a whirlwind of diplomatic missions in europe. he met to meet with the arab league. he has been pushing allies to send more weapons as they prepare for a crucial counter offensive. one of prelsident zelenskyy's demands is the fighter jets. we're not far from the lines. the fact he's going in person. he's not joining them remotely. he's going because he thinks it's crucial to be face-to-face with president biden for f-16s, i'm sure, but also with the other european leaders. >> yeah. we know the f-16s are going to be, you know, top of the agenda for president zelenskyy. it has been for some time. he knows he's beginning to win the argument. he won over some of the european leaders. he is meeting with them in the capitals earlier in the week. they met in iceland a couple days ago. there they came up with a plan to help get ukrainian fighter pit lots trained for the f-16, to help ukrainian's figure out

how to purchase f-16s. president zelenskyy's vadvisors are saying it's extremely important to be in there person and to explain the thinking, put forward their proposals to put forward their arguments. and really give the leaders the best and most accurate up to date sense of what is happening in the war here in ukraine. and for president zelenskyy, that's quite simply going to come out with the need to push for more ammunition and the need to get those fighter jets. he thinks best way to get this done for him, be there in person. make the case face-to-face. >> yeah. it's a powerful argument to make. before he gets to japan, he's just landed in saudi arabia, nick. there are very wealthy leaders there that provided a substantial amount of assistance to ukraine. what is the expectation for this stop before he gets to that g-7 meeting? >> yeah, it's expected to have a bilateral with crown prince.

look, the crown prince of saudi, perhaps not well liked on some aspects on the world stage, but he has been hugely busy behind the scenes trying to help with things like prison releases, prisoner exchanges, and this will be a topic of conversation for president zelenskyy. they also talk about the muslims in ukraine. the crimean people facing political oppression in crimea under the russians. that will be a topic of discussion. what president zelenskyy recognizes is and his -- sorry, that's an air raid. just being cleared here. they come in quite often. what president zelenskyy is talking about is the plight of the people under russian rule. and also, he recognizes that the crown prince wants to play a role in stabilizing and a potential peace deal down the road. that will be part of the conversation there as well. the foreign minister was in kyiv a couple months ago and talking

about support of the country can get. president zelenskyy understands as well. they have a relationship with putin and can get in putin's mindset. there is a lot president zelenskyy can get out of this meeting. >> nick, thank you for being there for us on both those fronts. >> yeah. remarkable to see that. saudi arabia tried to walk a very fine line. with all of this. joining us now for the military perspective on this is retired air force colonel. a cnn military analyst and former member, i should note, of the joint chiefs of staff at the pentagon. thank you so much for being here. obviously, the f-16s is something we've been talking about for so long. whether or not they are going to be able to get them, develop this air supperiority. but the push back we heard from the u.s. has been it takes so long to train the ukrainian forces on these f-16s. what's the sense of how it could help though? >> yeah, that's a great question. let's take a look at the f-16.

what you're looking at here is a very versatile aircraft. and, you know, when you see what it can do, it can fly at 1500 miles per hour. it uses what is known as radiation detection and target air defense systems. so this is very important. what it's going to be able to do is it's going tio be able to go after russian air defense areas such as the s-300, the missile system that is there. the s-400. those are dangerous weapons for this aircraft. it is not a stealth fighter. it has a 20 millimeter gun. it is an air-to-air and air-to-ground platform. that is a main reason because of the versatility that the ukrainians want this aircraft. >> i have versatile. the new reporting from cnn is that the u.s. is signal toggle alies that it may allow the export of f-16s which would allow other countries that have

these, obviously, made in the u.s., be able to send them to ukraine. what countries that could have the capability of potentially sending them? >> these are the countries in nato besides the united states that actually fly the f-16. turkey and greece up through romania, poland and, of course, the scandinavian countries of norway, denmark, and then the netherlands and belgium. so, these countries are critical for this. one country that has made that transition very effectively from soviet fighters to the f-16 is poland. another one is romania. so, these two countries would be the most likely ones to help with that transition. they're also interested in getting newer generation fighters that are even newer than the f-16 and this will be one way to do that, provided the their f-16s to ukraine and then for the ukrainians to be able to use them against russian targets. >> yeah. with the f-16s, i talked to

people people at the pentagon to say, yes, we allow them to export them or we'll send them. it's an argument we heard about the tanks, about other pieces of equipment they did eventually send to ukraine. what is your sense of what they'll do here? >> so, what i think they're going to do is, looking at all the different platforms and weapons systems that we have provided to the ukrainians, you know, everything from from anti-aircraft missiles, the stinger variety, the 155 millimeter howitzers and the tanks, the patriot missiles, all of those become important packages. my sense is what they're going to do is they're going to let the ukrainians have the f-16. you mentioned earlier that one of the key things is training pilots. two countries indicated they would like to train the ukrainians on western platforms. those are the netherlands and the united kingdom. that could very well make the

difference. the training system that we currently have in place takes about nine months for most people to train into thethe ukr do it within 69 days if they just move from their platforms to the mig-29s and 27s into the f-16. they won't be completely proficient of that time frame. it is something that they could potentially do given the fact that they have a lot of combat experience already. >> yep. all this is being discussed in gentleman pab right now. we'll see what they decide -- in japan right now. we'll see what they decide. i want to ask you about this development that happened overnight. central command is saying their v investigating a strike that happened in syria that initially they boasted about, saying that it killed a senior leader of al qaeda. now they're investigating whether or not it was a civilian who was killed. >> yeah. this is one of those situations where the battle damage assessment of a raid has come

back and what the pentagon believes right now, kaitlan, is that they may not have hit the right target. the intended target. instead of hitting an al qaeda leader like you mentioned, they hit a civilian. this is something that if it is true, is going to be very unfortunate because you do not want to antagonize local population. and this also points to a weakness in this over the horizon idea that the biden administration has had that you can prosecute a war against terror without having many boots on the ground in the region. that is something that is very dangerous if you don't have the right intelligence to help with that. >> yeah. the pentagon will be facing a lot of questions about that. colonel, thank you for joining us with your expertise this morning. >> you bet, kaitlan. this morning, denver is the fifth city in the country to be sent migrants from the state of texas. the city of denver saying they received a bus of 41 migrants yesterday. agreeing abbott writing, quote, until the president and his administration step up to

fulfill their constitutional duty to secure the border in the state of texas, they will w continue to bus migrants cities like denver. they previously bussed them to washington detroit, new york, chicago, and philadelphia. here in new york, new york city mayor eric adams says the city is bracing for 15 more buses carrying asylum seekers in the next few days. a new arrival center opens today with hundreds of rooms held for those migrants at the roosevelt hotel. it is the ninth humanitarian emergency response and relief center in the city. we're live in new york outside of that hotel and migrant arrival center. it's been tens of thousands of migrants have arrived here in new york. it has enraged some parents that some are housed in public school gymnasiums. are they moving away from that to the hotels or is this in addition to that?

>> that's the indication, poppy. for perspective, that drop in migrant apprehensions we witnessed along the southern border a week ago, that is not translated to any sort of relief in terms of what the city has been doing to try to keep up with the number of asylum seekers arriving in new york city. in fact, that number has only surged. there are two city council source that's were invited to participate in a closed door meeting with the adams administration tell me that number now is increased to close to 600. that is a dramatic increase over the t200 to 300 arriving over te last several weeks. mayor adams expects 15 buss to arrive in new york city from texas in the coming days. we saw one such bus arrive just a few moments ago. the families aboard that bus transferred on to an mta bus that was just opened up to day. we may have footage to show you. it shows the families now. this is that welcome center. the city has been working to open this.

basically, the main hub where many asylum seekers had come in from the southern border will make their first stop in some cases especially those families with children, they'll be able to shelter here. as for the migrants that do not have children, they will likely end up in more common spaces in terms of the shelter system. we have the city trying to still keep up with the demand as they expect these numbers to continues to rise. of there is a possibility that we could see them drop eventually. but that -- at this point is not the case. the city continues to, again, keep up with shelter needs. now, finally, i can tell that you the city continues to ask city officials throughout the region to look for other options and for now this is going to be one of the solutions to housing here in addition to well over 100 shelters that have opened up. >> what about the funding? that is what the governor, new york city mayor eric adams are pleading for much more federal funding. where is this city on that?

and the state on that? and also, what is the mayor saying this morning about this new arrival? >> so, initially, city put in a request for well over $300 million in fema funding. you recall that happened earlier this year. recently, fema came out with a decision and decided that only $30 million would be given to the new york city efforts. they really want to focus on the immediate border regions. they did say, however, new york city receives some of the most funding out of any other community. the mayor says that is still not enough. what he continues to call for is the biden administration to step in and work out the issue of the work authorization that you talked about at length in the past. >> yeah. we have great reporting again. thank you for being there for us this morning. >> meanwhile, in washington, lawmakers on capitol hill got into a pretty explosive argument yesterday over whether or not those three self-proclaimed fbi witness -- whistle-blowers.

>> they have determined not to be whistle-blowers. they've been determined by the agency not to be whistle-blowers. are you deciding that they're whistle-blowers? >> yes, the law decides. did you not listen to mr. levitt's testimony? >> his attorney is asserting they were whistle-blowers. >> that was an exchange. jim jordan called on them to testify as part of the efforts to, in his words, show the fbi is weaponizing itself against conservatives. three people he invited to testify said the agency retaliated against them for not telling a lie during the investigations into january 6. >> nonetheless, the fbi cynically elected to close ranked and attack the messenger. >> the fib suspended my security clearance, accusing me of

actually being disloyal to my country. >> if you watch that, it is important to know that the fbi sent a letter to congressman jordan's subcommittee. in it, the agency said that the officials stripped two of those three men you saw there who testified of their security clearances after multiple violations and security concerns. the agency says both men also expressed alternate theories about the attack on the capitol. >> ae ahead, dianne feinstein's office with new revelations about her health. >> and ron desantis is only heating up in the disney battle as the company is scrapping plans that would have brought thousands of jobs to florida ahead. ♪ ♪ ♪

this is after she told reporters she had a bad flu amid on going questions about her health and her mental wherewithal as she returned to the senate. dr. sanjay gupta joins us now. >> good morning. >> her office is now saying, yes, she had encephalitis. it resolved on its own. can you give us a sense of how serious this can be especially for older people? >> yeah. i mean this can be really serious. people often heard the term meningitis which refers to sort of an inflame mags of the lining of the brain -- inflammation of the lining of the brain. with encephalitis, it's really the brain. encephalitis is imflanflammatio the entire brain. it can be challenging to diagnose because they could have fever and headache and other things. but they also develop other

symptoms, confusion, lethargy, sometimes even weakness. things looic that. seizures could be a possibility. people can die from this. and sbhomeone who is 89 years o, her immune system was weakened already. she had shingles. that is probably the instigating event here which led to all the other problems. but kit take a while to resolve. even if if the fever and headache and sort of the short term symptoms resolve more quickly, the longer term symptoms, that can take months sometimes. some people never really have full resolution. >> sanjay, you mention that it is hard to diagnose. why it is so hard to diagnose. >> a lot of times you have to have suspicion. again, the initial symptoms, they can seem like flu-like symptoms, for example. so you have to have suspicion. and then you have to do these tests to really be certain of the diagnosis. an mri scan may show inflammation of the brain. they may do eeg to see if this

is affecting the electrical patterns in the brain. and then even a la lumbar p puncture. it's challenging. and then also to know exactly what point do you say it is resolved? that can be a challenge as well. young or old, it can be hard. especially challenging. >> on top of this, she is still having complications what ramsey hunt syndrome. i certainly don't know much about that. so what is it? and how can it affect someone especially in the key role like hers? >> yeah. you know, a lot of people heard of shingles. what shingles is -- if you had chicken pox as a kid, the virus that cause that's likely never left your body and then for some reason when you're an adult, it reactivates. that's why people get the shingles vaccine when they 50,

they should get it. in this ok, it can be reactivated for all sorts of reasons and affect different nermz. with ramsey hunt, it affects a specific nerve in the face. the facial nerve. and can you see it there. if you look at somebody's face who has had a ramsey hunt or has it, their face will look sort of frozen or even paralyzed. it can affect their eyes. it can affect their mouth. they can develop ulcerations. it can affect hearing. it can be really painful. anyone that has shingles knows how painful it can be. that's what that is. you may have heard of bells palsy. think of this as more serious. it can be more severe in terms of symptoms. and can okay longer to resolve. now, you treat them with anti-virals much again, it's a virus that caused all this in the first place. use anti-virals and steroids it

can take a while. >> doctor, thank you very much for helping us understand all this. >> get a pick of what she is going through. >> speaking of politics in washington, governor ron desantis has been privately telling donors he believes there is only two people that can win the 2024 election. he is one of them. the other, president biden. he is right? we'll talk about that and the third person there, former president trump. rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look of fine lines in 1-week, deep wrinkles in 4. so you can kiss wrinkles goodbye! neutrogena® the all-new tempur-pedic breeze makes sleep feel cool. so, no more sweating all night... ...or blasting the air conditioning. because the tempur-breezefee, all night long. for a mited time, save up to $500 on select tempur-pedic adjustable mattress sets. the subway series is elevating your favite subs. why mess with the sweet onion teriyaki, chuck? man, this aint messin', it's perfectin'!

biden, trump, and me. that was a quote from florida governor ron desantis how he sees the 2024 race playing out as he is expected to enter it himself in a few days from now making it official. according to "the new york times," governor desantis said that he believes there are only three credible candidates adding, i'm quoting the florida governor now, i think of those two -- those three, two have a chance to get elected president. biden and me. based on all the data in the swing states which is not great for the former president and probably insurmountable because people are not going to change

their view of him. sources tell cnn that desantis is expected to file his presidential campaign paperwork next week. his plan to defeat donald trump runs to the right of him when it comes to abortion, guns, transgender rights. he responded to the former president's criticism that florida's new abortion restrictions were too tough. >> i signed the bill. i was proud to do it. he won't answer whether he would sign it or not. >> the president, noting there, the former president did not say what abortion law he would sign into that. of course, it's not just rhetoric coming from desantis. >> that's right. it's what is he doing? and here's a look at what he did recently. he assigned a six-week abortion ban. he ended concealed weapons permits. he banned gender affirming care for transyouth. he restricted drag shows. he's blocked advance placement in african american studies. he prohibited vaccine mandates. and expelled -- expanded, i

should say, the law that critics call the don't say gay law. now desantis and disney have been feuding on this issue the last time i mentioned for more than a year. yesterday the media giant upped the ante. they scrapped the plans to build a billion dollar office complex in central florida citing challenging business conditions. they didn't name desantis be directly. but this will cost the state of florida 2,000 white collar jobs. a spokesperson said it was unsurprising that disney would cancel the project saying, quote, given the company's financial straits, falling market cap and declining stock price. now the former president trump's campaign put out a statement that desantis single-handedly lost florida more than 2,000 jobs. mike pennsylvania is also eyeing a 2024 run weighed in. >> i'm not terribly surprised to see disney cancelling a billion dollar contract. that's only going to harm people in florida area and one mohr

reason as a limited government conservative, i said for months now that i think both sides ought to stand down. >> joining us now to discuss, cnn political commentator and former white house communications director and our cnn political analyst, natasha alford. thank you both for being here. this call is remarkable. in the sense that desantis has been towing the criticism of trump. this is probably his most direct shot yet. telling donors this guy cannot beat biden. >> i tend to agree with him in a general election. i think 2020 bore that out. i don't see him hitting up more independents in 2024, the numbers in the general are very comparable desantis head-to-head with biden as they're trump head-to-head with biden. this is a decent wunt to make. that can't be the whole thing. he has to take trump on directly. and he has to draw policy juxtaposition into the point that you read in the open which is he's actually many ways

running to the right of trump which means you're shrinking the voters to support you even more. disney real quick, i mean, i should mention i'm partially employed by disney, it is -- this was a tremendous misstep by him. losing 2,000 jobs for the state with a median salary of $120,000 and now his team what they're going to frame it as, they're spinning it as is to say this project was likely going to be on hold anyway. disney has gone through massive layoffs. but there is property records that show as recently as mid march they were moving forward on ground baeking. >> -- ground breaking. >> he was more of a proponent than bob iger. desantis isn't making it any more welcoming for disney, for sure. natasha, i thought it was interesting that former president trump came out and said desantis got caught in the mousetrap, his words. and he says he basically failed in this war and that disney is going to prevail. >> yeah. i think there was a

miscalculation in terms of, you know, how long you can beat up on mickey mouse. right? is it and not have some sort of backlash. and, again, i think this -- the -- once you make a case that it's affecting business that you're losing jobs, that you're losing money, desantis' argument that he is the one who sort of keeps business together for florida just isn't as strong anymore. i'm a little bit confused by the play to go so hard to the right. if you look at national polling, people are saying that the rollback on abortion rights is going too farren. >> what do you do? >> you pivot. >> how far can you pivot when you say six week abortion ban. and that's out of line with even many republicans who are polling and saying they want medication abortion available, for example. so, it just seems a little out of step with the majority the country. >> what i was struck by is donors. he didn't get into the cultural issues, the divisive issues.

he stayed away from those. did he talk about trying to frame himself as better for the party and talking about donors. he is not just raising money for himself. that's another shot at donald trump who is sitting on a huge pile of cash during a midterm elections that people complained he got involved to spend money way too late for it to make a difference. >> all of that is true. ron desantis has a huge war chest right now, the second biggest -- at least what we know at this time compared to donald trump. he did boost other candidates on the ballot in florida. he was a one bright spot on the day for republicans. if you think of where he's been since november 2020 to now, it's been a series of missteps. there is a number of factors in that. trump defined him. he's not, like, some super bizarre person you can't have a conversation with. he is not necessarily the most gregarious man either.

donald trump defined him as somebody wzero personality. he talked about him being bad for business. desantis won't hit him back. if he thinks that he's ready to be the front-runner for the gop nomination, he needs to be able to define his opponent, donald trump, and he needs to be able to fight back. i fail to see any evidence he can do that. >> desantis is going to announce next week, officially. tim scott is going to do that on monday. what do you think? >> you know, if you look at a poll of south carolina voters, he still coming in after trump, after desantis, after nikki haley. >> that's a lot of money. >> $22 million war chest. that is great. you have this historic positioning, right? one of three black u.s. senators, the only black republican senator. but, you know, i don't want to undermine the ambition. a boost, although he would never say that, it's just hard to see him being the front-runner at this time. there isn't a benefit to him being on the stage.

the accusation that the gop is not diverse enough, that they have issues with race, just the mere presence shift that's dynamic. >> he is one of the best liked senators in washington. i have to talk about governor yunkin whether he is going to get in after it seemed he wasn't. he put out this ad. very reagan-esque. one misstep is they misidentified a foreign fighter jet in there as an american one. >> great eyes. this is something that happens so often. it drives anyone in the defense community mad. >> for republicans in a state where they've got all the military bases, you have to be careful with the stock imagery. it was not a u.s. fighter jet. that is very interesting. yunkin said he is not running. the consultant that is expected to run the race is with desantis. i don't know if this was an ad previously cut and using it for virginia or wanting to keep the name id boosted as a potential

to do something. but anyone who is going to get into the field needs to be in, i would say, by june. after memorial day. after that, there are so many -- you're missing fund-raising windows and time to build your name id. so folks need to get them quickly. >> there is an opportunity for name recognition. everything that he's done in virginia fits into the larger cultural conversation we're having. the attacks on crt, the idea of supporting parental rights. either way, i feel there say benefit for him even if he doesn't have a legitimate shot of taking the white house. >> thank you both. >> thanks, guys. >> two great political minds to talk about all this. thank you both. >> thank you. the supreme court also delivering major victory for social media platforms. allowing the companies to avoid lawsuits for now that stem from terror related content. the implications of that ruling next. montana's tiktok ban already facing a legal challenge. we'll be joined by a tiktok influencer from the state. what does she think?

new this morning, we're getting a clearer picture of when potential charges may come in that atlanta area investigation into former president trump and many of his allies in 2020 election interference. we have previously reported here at cnn that possible indictments were expected over the summer "the new york times" reports that remote work days for a lot of the staff for the first three weeks in the month, even asking that judge as void scheduling trials during that period. obviously, this is something the former president's team is keeping a close eye on. that is also the schedule date for that first republican primary debate. >> that's right. also this. a big win yesterday for social media companies and a pair of

cases, one brought against google, the other brought against twitter. the supreme court preserved social media companies' ability to avoid lawsuits stemming from terror-related content n the case against twitter, the supreme court ruled that the company will not have to face accusations that it aided and abetted terrorism when it hosted content by isis. they said that the platform led to the death to her daughter in paris. to understand what this all means, we're joined by sarah fish ir. thank you so much for come willing in. this was a huge deal not only for the families and the gone zals family, but just writ large for what the responsibility is of social media companies and the bod bottom line is they continue to get a pass under section 230 of the cda act. >> exactly. it's going to be a lot harder for anyone that wants to sue a

tech company for responsibility what a third party says. the court had a decision, whether or not it wanted to re-evaluate the long-time law and essentially by deciding not, to they punted it to congress. so, congress which passed this law in 1995 could go in reverse. the challenge is, poppy, there is no really good, you know, suggestions put forward on what we would replace it with. i think that's why we're at a stand still. the internet needs moderation but we don't know how to do that without breaking the internet as we know it today. >> they signaled that they're passing on it for now. obviously, this is something likely going to be a reoccurring issue. you always see the republicans and some democrats, too, but a lot of republicans talking about section 230 and the protection they get and railing against them. you never actually see something materialize on that front. it is difficult. but it seems look a lot of talk and very little action. >> republicans love to say that they're being censored by big tech and take away the

protections so they don't have to be censored. the challenge is, kaitlan, we like to think that the laws give protection to google and facebook and the big guys. they give protection to smaller acts. how many times do you go to book a hotel do you look at pictures of it on trip adviser or you want to add something in a comment section because you buy a lotion and it doesn't work, all of that stuff is protected by section 230 as well. if we were to remove the protections, it's not just big tech. it's the yelps of the world and the other sites. i think that's why it's hard for republicans and congress to just break this rule. it would have such sweeping impact on a lot of different sites. >> marcia blackburn talked about, she's a big voice in this -- >> the senator from tennessee. >> yeah, another case coming forward before the same court, making the same argument as the gonzalez family made, may have a better chance. the court didn't rule on the merits. they sent it down.

i wonder if you think that there is much p more to come on this? you have -- if congress is not going to solve it, the court has to weigh in on section 230. that was written in a very different time than what the internet and social media is now. >> so, yes and no. here's why. the supreme court's job is to interpret complicated laws. section 230 of the communications decency act is not a complicated law. it is actually very straight forward. what it says. so technically, if you would want to revisit this this really is the job of congress to rewrite the law, to repeal pit, et cetera. i don't know that the court has that much p power in this point. >> yeah. >> interesting. >> sarah fisher, thank you. >> the legal challenges, seb speaking of, are beginning over montana's tiktok ban. this is a ban that wasn't just for government devices. this is for personal devices as well. they're suing the state's attorney general arguing that this ban violates the first

amendment rights. the governor there says he believes the law that he signed will protect montanans' personal and private data. if the laws upseld hundreds of thousands of tiktok users in montana no longer have access to that app starting january 1st. like kylie nelson. >> we have another realistic day in the life of a fashion influencer. >> it is finally freaking nice out. i enjoy starting my day off with a little walk to soak up some sun before sitting in my office. can't forget breakfast. look at how cute. today is a full blown office day. i need to approve my sunday newsletter to go out and return e-mails. there is a couple brand deals i'm trying to negotiate and then update the website. always post an outfit reel so this is my outfit for the day. >> kylie nelson is a fashion and lifestyle influencer who is based in montana. she has over 200,000 followers on tiktok. she is not one of the content creators who is challenging the state's ban. but she would certainly be affected by it. i know you get a lot of your

income from your presence on tiktok and the way you use this platform. what was your reaction when you heard that governor had signed this ban into law? >> i do. i'm not going to lie. i was a little shocked and surprised. it's been in talk for a long time. especially this past month when they said that was going to be just state. but when it came to -- it's going to be all of us, i was actually pretty shocked. >> do you share any of the concerns, kylie, that, for example, the head of the fbi chris ray or the cia director bill burns have? they're concerned about the ability for china -- because tiktok is owned by a chinese company -- to access >> i 100% am concerned of that. i hear that. i respect that. i just haven't seen the proof of it yet. that's kind of what i'm waiting for. i am a law-abiding citizen. so if it happens, it is what it is. >> yeah, i think that's a fair point. tiktok said it's never been to

provide user data to the chinese government. >> there are a lot of concerns about this, obviously. i know also the concerns that someone like you would have is about your income. some people, if our audience, it's like a lot of young people who use tiktok, you can't get the same kind of growth you say from an instagram or another app. he get this from tiktok, right? >> yes. it was created for tiktok growth. so i have been on instagram for, gosh, probably almost ten years and i have about 7 # thousand followers and it's been less than two years i have been showing up on tiktok and i am already at over 200,000 of my audience. so you definitely get a lot more growth compared to other apps. so i think that kinda sets it apart from other ones. >> totally, because the algorithm is so effective in terms of targeting. >> it's a discovery platform. >> can i ask what you will do if, for example, montana prevails in these legal

challenges? you support your family this way. would you leave the state? >> i wouldn't leave the state. i am a law-abiding citizen. we are going to have to pivot. i say that every platform has its time and place going back to myspace, facebook. i think it's fair to put instagram in that category, too. there is always going to be a new platform that ms comes along. i think this is a great reminder to content creators to do make sure that we are equally spreading our content on all other platforms. >> it's a great point. thank you for helping us put some of the human face on what that means for people rely on this platform. thank you. >> yes, thank you. all right. game one of the nhl eastern conference final going the distance and then some. the panthers and hurricanes went back and forth for nearly six hours. it ended at 2:00 a.m. eastern. >> here is brent burns, to the
