it's the harshest sentence handed down for involvement in the january 6th attack on the capitol. the leader of the oath keepers just told he'll serve 18 years in prison, and the judge didn't mince words. there is one week to go until the nation potentially defaults on its debt, and still no deal. lawmakers are huddling in the capitol, trying to hammer out a last-minute agreement. no, that's not what is happening. most of them are headed home for a long holiday weekend.

and not before adding some last-minute demands that could complicate the entire process. we'll break down what they are. and this story, more than a decade after being paralyzed, he can now stand, walk, even climb stairs. we'll tell you about the implant that has now reconnected his brain to his spine. could this technology become accessible to anyone? we are following these major developing stories, all coming in to cnn news central. ♪ ♪ longest sentence yet for a january 6th defendant. the leader and founder of the oath keepers, stewart rhodes, has been given 18 years in prison for his role in the attack on the u.s. capitol on january 6th, 2021. the judge found that his actions amounted to domestic terrorism. cnn's senior crime and justice

reporter is with us now on this story. you're there outside the courthouse. what happened inside today? >> reporter: well, it was quite a hearing for stewart rhodes and his sentencing. the justice department was very successful in making many of their arguments, including that one you just mentioned, that the judge agreed with them that it was a crime of domestic terrorism that he engaged in when he was engaging to seditiously conspire with others, leading the oath keepers on january 6th. even though he didn't go in the building and was not personally violent, the judge noted that he believed he did want violence to happen that day and believed that was the way to affect democracy. and the judge also spoke directly to rhodes during the sentencing, just before he told him he would be spending 18 years in total in federal prison. the judge said, you are not a political prisoner, that is not why you are here. it is not because of your

beliefs, it is not because joe biden is the president right now. rhodes also spoke on his own behalf and was clearly of the belief that the election was illegal in 2020, and that the right wing extremism was the answer for him and he would continue that belief system on, even while he was in prison, serving his time. now, the -- what is happening in court today, it is not done yet today. we have another oath keeper seditious conspiracy defendant, kelly megs. he is facing his sentencing right now. we are waiting for him to speak on his own behalf to the judge. it looks like he also is going to be found that the crimes he engaged in are part of domestic terrorism crimes, as well. although the judge says that he's not going to be as harsh related to that as he was with stewart rhodes. we still don't have a number on how long essentially the deputy to stewart rhodes, will have for

his sentence and how long he will spend in prison. >> we'll be waiting on that with you. thank you so much. let's big deeper now with our security analyst. so julia, thank you for being with us. 18 years, but prosecutors wanted more. what do you make of this sentence? >> well, given his age, he's going to be in jail until -- well into he's a senior citizen. but what's more important than sort of the exact year is what the reporting is what the judge said in terms of the threat he posed to the united states and then interestingly enough when the judge focused on the threat he continues to pose. the judge said at his bench remarks that he's never sentenced a defendant before, who he viewed as an ongoing threat to the united states. so this harsh sentence, maybe not the harshest that the

prosecutors were going after, is reflective of that concern that this is an ongoing insurrection, not one that was just january 6th, 2021. >> juljulia, i found it noticea that he invoked the proud boys, saying that the oath keepers were there trying to keep peace and they were trying to deter violence, while the proud boys, they were not. what does that tell you about the state of this movement as a whole? >> yeah, i don't know how tiny my violin could get at this stage, but the oath keepers and the proud boys met right before january 6th. we know this from the january 6th committee that they conspired to plan this attack or this -- the rally at the capitol. but what's really interesting

are two aspects of what rhodes said. he has education, yale, he's always wanted to present himself as like the non-racist right winger. that's very important to him. he has described the proud boys as the racist ones, and the oath keepers are somehow not right-wing, sort of nazi extremists, they're just right wingers. so he's always wanted the separation, just given his own sense of himself. he doesn't like who the proud boys are, he says tay don't do enough vetting of their membership. i the more important thing is in terms of the future. the judge said this is an ongoing threat. these organizations recruit, they get money, they organize around a notion that there is an overall movement. but the proud boys and oath keeps are at each other before, but so publicly when rods is getting sentenced, it's a good

division, it's a good moment. you want the opposition to be divided. they will go against each other. it's a good day overall. >> the judge noted the unpre unprecedented threat that rhodes and the oath keepers present. we want to pivot now to jennifer rogers, who has watched this case closely. jennifer, your reaction to the sentence of 18 years for steward rhodes? >> well, it's a hefty sentence for sure. the judge accepted the calculations of 21 to 27 years and went under. which judges very often do. most judges think that the sentencing guidelines are too harsh. what's notable to me is that, has been said, the judge imposed six levels, all the other oath

keerp also also get that kind of enhancement. the judge had some flexibility there. but what the judge is trying to do is place this sentencing context, not just with the rest of the oath keepers who are being sentenced now and in the days to come, and the proud boys and so on, but also in the history of seditious conspiracy defendants. there aren't that many convictions to look at, but many of them had lengthy sentences, having to do with terrorist attacks where people were killed. so the judge is looking at the context, not just of this case or of the january 6th case as a whole, but beyond that to seditious conspiracy cases. so there's a lot for him to consider. given that, 18 years was a very fair sentence. >> jennifer, i found his demeanor throughout the proceedings interesting, because he did not express any remorse, which the judge also noted. there is a belief that he may be hunting for a potential pardon if former president donald trump

wins re-election in 2024. i'm wondering what you make of that. >> i think you're right on. most defendants at sentencing express some remorse. he did not do that. he's going all-in on the notion of a possible pardon. i think that's not a bad call for him, to be honest. not many judges change their minds based on what a defendant says at sentencing. they've already found all of these facts, so his last shot and best shot here, excludeing the appeal of course, but i don't see a lot of likelihood of overturning on appeal, is thinking about a pardon from a second term of former president donald trump. so that's what he went for. >> and his attorneys previewed a potential appeal, talking about his words, saying that he has the free and fair use of the first amendment at his disposal. never mind he has a cache of

weapons waiting for him in virginia. jennifer rogers, thank you for your insight. >> thanks. >> jim? this is just into cnn. new video that shows the moments just before a critical russian warship was struck by an unmanned surface vessel, and the fact that naval drone in the black sea. the video shared by ukraine appears to contradict claims by moscow that the ship had been able to thwart a ukrainian attack. it's remarkable to watch. as you see here, this is a camera from that drone. it only stops just as it appears to make contact with the hull. our fred pleitgen is in kyiv, ukraine. i wonder what you're hearing from ukrainian officials. do they have any sense of damage to the russian ship? >> reporter: well, they believe that it's a successful attack, jim. one of the things they don't know is how extensive it was. but the fact that they managed to get to that ship, which as

you correctly pointed out, is an intelligence ship from the russians in the black sea. that in itself is a big success, especially since it contradicts the claims we heard yesterday from the russians. the russians didn't only claim that the attack was unsuccessful, they even put out video of the ship apparently destroying one of those surface vessels. now it turns out that actually the ship was, indeed, hit. you can see on that video how that surface drone, you can only see the tip is coming towards the ship. you see the ship fires in front of the drone. but the last frame, this is the drone getting up to the ship. this in many ways is really a remarkable thing on the part of the ukrainians. it shows that the russian warships in the black sea are not safe from these kinds of attacks from the ukrainians. that's a big deal for the ukrainians. but this intelligence ship is a really important one for the russians, as well. it's one of the most modern intelligence ships that the russians have. it only went into service in

2018. obviously, a lot of sophisticated electronics. they're not sure what the damage is, but a big blow once again to the russian navy. >> you pointed out an important detail. as the video is running, you can see those little flashes of water in front, which appears to be someone on board the russian trip trying to take it out before it hits. when the other ship went down last year, drones played a part in the successful missile strike in terms of distracting the defenses. fred pleitgen, good to have you there. keep yourself and your team safe. coming up, with just one week to go until the nation defaults, a group of republicans is making 11th hour demands. what they want added to any potential deal. plus, the newly official presidential candidate ron desantis was just asked if he would pardon january 6th insurrectionists. hear his answer to that. and an 11-year-old boy shot by an officer that he called for

who's next? wait... what's that in your hand? no, no, stop! oh you're no fun. [lock clicks shut] a completely preventable economic meltdown would be one week away, so you would think that negotiations between republicans and democrats in washington would be proceeding at a frantic pace. instead, house lawmakers are leaving for the long weekend. progressives on the t democrati side will not make concessions, and 35 hard right republicans just sent a list of new demands. none of this is encouraging. then you add in the fact that even if the two sides strike a deal to raise the debt ceiling, the bill still has to be written. then house rules stipulate they spend a full three days reading through the text. and oh, right, it needs to pass

both chambers of congress. cnn's manu raju is on the scene of this pressure cooker. manu, losts of twists and turns today. i didn't even mention the senate and that long, winding clock that goes on there. what are you hearing on the kill today? >> it is going to take a lot to get this bill passed and get it done to avoid the nation's first-ever debt default that could have drastic economic ramifications. negotiations between house republicans and the white house are still happening at this hour. they still need to sell it to the broader house and senate, conferences and caucuses are each side of the aisle, and get that through the parliamentary process, that can take many days. and get that done as soon as june 1 to avoid that debt default. getting done by then seems unlikely at this point. this comes as there is mounting frustration from particularly democrats who have been shut out of these negotiations on capitol

hill and concerned that the white house is giving up too much to the house gop. >> i'm very frustrated. you know, i called on the president to invoke the 14th amendment and do not negotiate with hostage takers. i mean, we don't negotiate with globalists globally, why are we going to negotiate with the economic terrorists here that are the republican party? >> the greatest regret is the failure to raise the debt ceiling limit back in december when the democrats were in control of both chambers of congress. so that is a miscalculation we will live to regret. >> the speaker has decided to make this a public relations effort. and really turning it into a political process. >> reporter: and that is the concerns among democrats. on some of the far right, a lot of conservative members are concerned about the prospects of the speaker er watering down th

bill passed in april. and 35 are warning they could vote against it if it moves too far off of the house gop position, laying out a new list of demands, all with questions even if there is a deal, can they get the votes to pass it? it's uncertain at this point, a t this critical moment to avoid a debt default. >> yeah, certainly is. manu, thank you. now to the white house with cnn's jeremy diamond. we heard the president saying look, they agree, both sides, on one thing, they don't want a default. he did emphasize what they do not agree on. how are they finding common ground right now? how is this weekend going to look with house members gone for the holiday? >> yeah, i think you're getting at theish issue here. even though the white house and republican negotiators describe these talks as productive and they are making some progress, it's evident in listening to both sides that the gaps are

still so big. you just heard joe biden talking about the fact that default is not an option. he also, at the same time, though, was talking about the fact that he wants to see revenue increases included in this plan. that's something that speaker mccarthy said is off the table. we know they're still very part on that top line spending number. i spoke earlier today with the deputy treasury secretary, and he said to me that we are too close to default and i asked him whether americans should be worried. here's what he said. >> just to drag that point home, how worried should americans be? >> we should all be worried. not raising the debt limit would be a catastrophe for the economy that would have an impact across the united states and the global economy. >> reporter: and one of the things that the deputy secretary also underscored to me that is so important is that the financial markets are already starting to react. we have only just begun to see some of the impacts in the stock

market. but for weeks now, we have begun to see volatility in the bond market. that is raising the cost of borrowing for the federal government, which is ultimately going to increase costs for american it is this continues. >> yeah, for everyone. jeremy diamond at the white house, thank you. let's get some perspective now from republican congressman anthony despozito. it appears you're coming to us live from new york. i'm making an assumption thinking you are on recess now for the long weekend. with so much hanging in the balance here with the fiscal cliff looming june 1, is it appropriate for lawmakers to be away from the nation's capitol right now? >> well, boris, good afternoon. yeah, i just landed in new york. i'm back in island park where i will attend some memorial day events this weekend. yeah, i do think that the republicans have the right to head home to their districts and

represent the people that elected them. the fact of the matter is, we did our part. we passed the act a couple months ago. while democrats remain silent and they didn't want to negotiate while joe biden ignored speaker mccarthy and him extending that olive branch to talk, nothing was done until the last couple of days. as we see, from the last segment, even democrats are frustrated. they're saying they should have acted back in december. some are saying they feel they are left out of negotiations. and others are just completely ridiculous and trying to describe republicans as "terrorists." >> well, on that point, congressman, both parties have raised the debt ceiling every single time that it's been reached. it was raised three times under president trump. with zero preconditions i should note. why is it now a sticking point? >> i guess right now, what we have is we have a different

congress. we have a different speaker. we have different members, and we feel that we are at a turning point. we are at the point of no return in our debt, and we put a plan in place that limits out of control spending, that saves crucial federal programs, that grows the economy. it doesn't cut social security or veterans, it doesn't cut medicare or medicaid, and we were willing to negotiate. speaker mccarthy has been willing to negotiate and was ignored. so the fact of the matter is, we did our part. we put the wheels in motion, the democrats have decided to ignore us. and now, as the time -- the clock is ticking, or the clock is on the field as we say. now the democrats are screaming and yelling and trying to create havoc amongst america. >> there is some descent within your own party though, congressman. speaker mccarthy says he's confident your party is not going to waiver on the deal, but yet, you had these 25 republican

lawmakers asking for more, and there is the potential looming that they may not vote for a deal that mccarthy strikes. are you on board with the speaker? >> i am on board with the speaker as the deal is thus far. i haven't heard any updates from today. i know that the speaker usually keeps in touch and tries to talk to all of the parts of the delegation, especially the new york delegation. he's been very open and transparent with us. i look forward to hearing from him later today. i'm fully confident in speaker mccarthy and his negotiations skills, i know they are doing the hard work and keeping us in the loop. the moment we need to head back to d.c., we'll be on the next flight out. >> congressman, if we get to that point where the treasury has to prioritize payments and it has to decide which bills to pay and not to pay, how would you go about prioritizing those payments?

>> right now, i'm confident that we're not going to get to that point. i'm confident in speaker mccarthy's ability to negotiate. i'm confident that our president will come to the table and negotiate. the fact that he's neglected that over the last couple of months, i'm confident we'll get to an agreement and make a deal for the american people and move this country forward. >> it sounds like you're optimistic, but you noted that even among democrats, there are voices that don't want to see biden strike a deal on work requirements for medicare. ultimately, what does it tell you that congress is unable to reach a deal for the nation to pay debts? this is about money already spent, it's not about future spending. >> it tells me that people from different parts of this country, especially i will say that the democratic party, the people on the far left have thoughts that

are just not the truth. we need to stand our ground as republicans and do what we did. like i said, this is about limiting out of control spending and saving programs, growing the economy. it's not about sending our country into more debt for our children, grand children in the future. >> congressman, we appreciate you sharing part of your memorial day weekend with us. we hope that your optimism pays off. >> thank you, sir. have a good weekend. >> thanks so much. stay with cnn news central. we're back in moments.

just hours after his glitch-plagued twitter campaign launch, ron desantis went where no other gop candidate has dared to go, he directly attacked donald trump. in a radio interview earlier today, he blasted how the former president handled the covid pandemic. have a listen. >> i think he did great for three years, but when he turned the country over to fauci in march of 2020, that destroyed millions of people's lives. when people look back, you know, that 2020 year was not a good year for the country as a whole. we absolutely reduced federal spending. we'll fight with the congress on that. i think the debt has gone up on

both republican and democrat. we act like it's just biden. it went up $8 trillion under trump, as well. >> as desantis ramps up his attacks on trump, he'll hit the campaign trail next week for the first time as a presidential candidate. he will make a four-state swing through the early contest states of iowa, new hampshire, and south carolina. joining me now, molly ball, a national political correspondent and has written a cover story on ron desantis. first, let me ask you, because this has already been spun so many times. if you are inside the desantis campaign right now, do you think it was a major flop last night, the campaign announcement and does it have lasting implications? >> i don't think they can be happy about it. there's no way that went according to plan. we see signs that there's a little turmoil behind the scenes. it was a last-minute decision to launch in that way rather than something more traditional. i've been hearing that he was

going to do something in miami, a big swing county where you could have a big, diverse, multiethnic crowd and showcase his popularity back home. instead, we get this mess. so it is quite possible that this will all be lost to the sands of time and nobody will remember it in a few weeks, but it's not the foot they were hoping to get you have on. >> like mike dukakis with that tank helmet on. >> and trump launching with that's kalator ride. that was a disaster and he turned it around. >> it's interesting, his attack on the president on the pandemic response is a deliberate effort to look at his success in florida. at the time, he took a lot of heat, but one of the reasons he was elected with a 19% margin, for opening things up before others did. when i was watching him attack trump and seeing that record, which many americans, even of other parties, will say that the

shutdowns went too far, even nonrepublicans. why hasn't desantis focused more on that part of his record to run in the national campaign opposed to these cultural issues, a six-week abortion ban, which does not have that level of support? >> the campaign started yesterday, so this is something you'll hear a lot more from him. a major part of his popularity in florida, probably much more so than some of the controversial stuff, the woar o woke and so on. they took that 19-point victory as a mandate on everything that he's done, including really pushing the envelope far to the right in florida with the help of the legislature there. but the source of his popularity, if you talk to people in florida, has much more to do with opening the schools, creating that free state of florida where you didn't have to wear a mask and could go to the beach and so on. so we'll be hearing a lot about that. the question will just be, trump

wants this to be a personality contest, and he's going to make a lot of personal attacks. desantis wants to make this about substance and policy and things like the record on covid. what do voters care about? i don't think we know. >> tell me about his attacks on trump here, because is his calculation in effect, what a lot of folks even watching this race will say trump has a certain portion of the republican voting population locked up, they're never going to move from him. but that said, 35% desantis could still get some of the other 65% and win the nomination. is that in his calculation? >> that is definitely the case, and we see some evidence for that, whether it's polls and focus groups that republican pollsters have done, or going back to november when desantis won big, trump looked like a loser and was blamed for losing the republican party three national elections and you saw

desantis start to come out on top. so that indicates that a lot of those voters clearly have wandered back to trump. they always liked trump, they never disliked him, but they had doubts. so the question is, now that he's the won who has been in the ba barrel, can desantis get those voters to give him another look. but there's been an openness, and trump also may have a lot more drama coming up for him in the next few months. >> certainly. listen, that's part of the message here from these multiple candidates running and challenging the president as they see him as potentially vulnerable. we'll have a lot to watch. molly, thank yous so much. we'll be right back. at t-mobile, your business will save over $1000 bucks. what are you going to do with it? i could use a new sign. with t-mobile for business, save more than $1000 buc

this is 11-year-old maya zamora, throwing out the first pitch at a houston astros game last year. she is a survivor of the robb elementary school school shooting in uvalde, texas. she was critically injured, shot in the chest, back, arms and hands. she had to be airlifted to a san antonio hospital after the shooting where she spent more than two months recovering. now the family is suing the manufacturer of the ar-15 style rifle used in the shooting. it's a georgia-based company called daniel defense. attorney mark o'mara is joining us now. so this is a suit, mark, that

says daniel defense is not covered by a broad immunity that gun manufacturers open, because of how they marketed this "call of duty" placed heavy in these adds. do these families have a case? >> they have a slight chance. don't forget, again, as you said, congress has passed a very broad immunity, saying gun manufacturers, because of the second amendment and all of that, gun manufacturers will not be held liable if and when their guns are used in a criminal act. if that's true, they're not liable at all. but the lawsuit says that may be good, but if you are so abusing your privilege as an immune company by focusing on children, by doing it in a way that makes it sexy or something that people want, and there by getting these children who use these guns criminally, you should not have the benefit of that immunity.

it's close. this company does seem to really focus on romanticizing their weapons to children or young adults. so they have a chance. >> the families of sandy hook, it's worth mentioning, the families of victims of sandy hook, they won $73 million from the gunmaker remington. what's different about this case now? >> so the problem with the remington, it was in bankruptcy, so it wasn't quite the same punch, right? it was in bankruptcy court where that company was trying to get back out of bankruptcy, in order to do so, they pay off the creditors, the creditors being the families who sued. so it wasn't quite the watershed decision that you might have thought otherwise. this uvalde case, if they can convince a judge or jury that they should be taken out of the immunity because of the way they

marketed it, that would be a massive change in the way gun manufacturers will have to do it. remember, it's a little like cars. you can't market cars to children or else they'll drive the cars. if this gun manufacturer said, we're going to give felons half price or something silly like that, or gun -- gang members, come to us for 25% off, something like that would take them easily right out of the immunity protection that they have under the congressional statute. but this is somewhere way in the middle, where they're doing it, but hopefully, in their minds, doing it in a way that their marketing is still protected. but i think we're in a new age where people will look at this and say, your guns, keep them away from children. >> we're talking marketing a car, if someone was marketing their car in sort of a

video game that you could use to just plow through things, as some video games do. you can run into everything. you could certainly injure someone with a car presumably with some of the damage you could cause in a video game. it's hard to see how that would fly. you can see how someone might have a case in that regard. is that exactly the same kind of thing, or is it different because it's a gun? >> well, another good example would be cigarettes. don't forget, cigarettes, without question, were and in some people's minds still are, particularly the vape pens, are being marketed to children. we know now that cigarettes are horrible for children and for the rest of us. so those companies got in trouble for marketing their cigarettes to children. joe camel and some of these other ones. so there is a basis, if you think about it, to hold manufacturers responsible if they improperly market to an

audience they should not. in this case, children with cigarettes and children with guns. >> all right. mark, thank you so much. we're going to be following this case. we'll see if it does proceed. mark, thank you so much. boris? coming up, a new report claims investigators looking into trump's handling of classified documents have potentially critical evidence of possible obstruction of justice. we'll break it down when we come back. a bump is in order. okay, let's see. oh, hey... what's this? lord of the leasase! i'm not a hat-person. yeah, no. emperor of the rentalverse. that's funny. no. rentaur the trusted. ...i don't like it. oh. ok. master of the rentalsphere. wow! oh, is it too much? apartments.com the place to find a place. the subway series is elevating your favorite subs. why mess with the sweet onion teriyaki, chuck? man, this aint messin', it's perfectin'!

"the washington post" is now reporting that workers at mar-a-lago moved boxes just one day before fbi agents arrived and searched the property. it also says donald trump and his aides allegedly did a dress rehearsal for moving sensitive papers even before his office received a subpoena in may of last year. we're joined now by josh dossy, who joins us over the phone. josh, this is significant reporting. walk us through it. >> right, boris. the night before federal authorities came to mar-a-lago to collect material from a grand jury subpoena, that two employees to former president trump moved boxes back into a storage room at mar-a-lago. if you remember, former president trump and his lawyers say to the fbi agents and to the government officials, we'll take you, you can see the storage

room and the boxes. we'll give you a tour of the storage room and barred them from looking inside the boxes. what we now know based on an account from one of the workers, who said on the record that security cam footage shows him and the valet for former president trump moving boxes back into the storage room the day before federal authorities show up to collect subpoena material. >> we should point out trump has denied any wrongdoing in this case. please, josh, outline for us the detail in this reporting about the dress rehearsal that apparently workers at mar-a-lago conducted, even before president trump was served a subpoena. >> so if you remember before the justice department gets involved in this saga, you have the national archives. and they're asking at first gently, then more aggressively for president trump to give

everything back. in a sealed court filing, a chief judge for the d.c. district writes that what they did in obstructing the process, how they didn't give documents back, the way they threw documents away and behaved during that period was analogous to what happened when the subpoena came from the department of justice. essentially, the tactics were the exact same or very similar for the national archives and later for the department of justice. >> josh, the timeline here is what is most significant, right? because if you're a prosecutor in this case and trump is having aides move boxes the day before folks from the fbi and a prosecutor visit the president's estate, that the prosecutors reveals something about intent, doesn't it? >> former president trump and his team said the classified material was stored in the storage room. they did a search of the storage

rom, and all the boxes were in the storage room and that's where the material was. but what this shows is that it was not always there, right? it was moved from the storage room and it was moved back the day before. and then what's important to remember here is when federal authorities come in august and they do the search, the raid on his property, as you remember, they find more than 100 classified documents in other parts of the reslresidence, in bedroom, in his office and various places in mar-a-lago. so those documents were not in the boxes taken back to the storage room. one other thing we reported about, federal authorities know of multiple witnesses who say that former president trump kept classified materials in his office, and out, you know, for people to see and sometimes showed them to visitors who came to mar-a-lago. and that's also of interest to

them, because it contradicts the claim oh, we accidently took these materials. it's in the storage room. what they have learned now from multiple people who came in to meet with federal authorities is that he took the material out and was showing it. >> it is fascinating reporting. as you point out in the story, it appears that a charging decision from special counsel jack smith is getting closer. josh dossy, thank you so much for all of your insight. >> thank you so much. bye-bye. >> of course. coming up, the tribute to tina turner that has people stepping up in a special way down under. the superstar passed away at age 83. hear why australians are honoring the queen of rock 'n' roll by getting on their feet. wh the troublesome hemorrhoid enters the room. phil: excuse me? hillary: that wasn't me. nanarrator: said hillary, who's only taken 347 steps today. hillary: i cycled here. narrator: speaking of cycles, mary's period
