ukraine hitting at the heart of russia's black sea fleet, taking the fight directly to russian-controlled crimea. new videos coming in of the fiery missile strike today. loss of control, with days before a government shutdown house speaker kevin mccarthy sends members home because he can't get republicans to agree on anything else. can he hang on to his job? desperation at the u.s./mexico border. cnn cameras were rolling as children are pulled through barbed wire as a migrant surge unfolds once again all along there with renewed calls for help. i'm kate bolduan with john berman. this is "cnn news central." ♪ let's start with the big news out of ukraine that still is really unfolding as we speak. a missile strike on the

headquarters of russia's black sea fleet. we now have new video coming in that shows the scenes afterward. you can see plumes of smoke coming out of a building there. at least one russian soldier is reported missing. that's right now. this is sebastopol, this is one of the largest cities in russian-controlled crimea and state media say debris scattered hundreds of feet from the point of impact. ukraine has been ramping up its attacks on russian military bases and other sites in and around crimea as part of their counteroffensive and this looks to be a big move today. ka k >> reporter: we're learning that clearly this was quite a big target for the ukrainians, potentially the biggest one so far in this area. this is the headquarters for the black sea naval fleet. in terms of what hit it, we're reporting currently it's a missile. again, we are talking a lot about these long-range missiles

that zelenskyy is after and you can see why. this is the kind of impact that missile attacks can have. we're seeing in those videos you showed devastating huge plumes of smoke, residents are being told by the sebastopol governor to stay inside, take shelter, it's not safe in the city center, we're hearing about the debris reaching a wide area. this is showing how it's impacting civilians right in the middle of this city and the impact it's having. again, these attacks on crimea they are strategic. we were reporting yesterday on an air base, last week a ship repair facility in sebastopol. it's an area where a lot of this war effort is organized, a lot of ammunition, weaponry, support for the invasion is conducted and supported and then transferred closer to the front lines. really an incredible strategic

importance to russia. to be hit by allegedly the ukrainian authorities that would be a major success for them. the question is how this managed to happen, how the russian defenses didn't stop this from happening. quite a lot to monitor as we see this attack still unfolding. >> i was going to ask you about that. what we're hearing from ukrainian military, if anything, we haven't yet and also what is also always important how russia is characterizing when they've been hit like this. they are reporting one russian soldier missing but what more are you hearing? >> the description is interesting. an hour or so ago they said that that soldier was dead, now they're missing. theres a level of chaos in trying to glean information from their own side as to what's happened here. the presentation of the ukrainian side often when these attacks unfold whether they explicitly take credit or not is always that this is a success,

this is part of the effort to make sure that russia feels afraid at home. taking the war back into russian territory away from the front line because let's not forget some of the front line battlefield has been quite marginal in terms of gains. so targeting russian infrastructure further away is clearly part of the ukraine strategy currently. >> katie polglase, thank you so much. we will be following these developments. this morning house speaker kevin mccarthy is scrambling to find a new plan to keep the government open and maybe keep his job, this after the last plan failed and the one before that and the one before that, depending on how you're counting. all he's been able to do in the face of a government shutdown eight days away is send members home for a long weekend. part of mccarthy's bind is that if he works with democrats to pass a funding bill, some conservative members might try to push him out of his speaker role. at least two republicans say they are now ready to take a rare procedural step to join

democrats and get the job done. overnight president biden responded to the republican chaos, he said, last time there was a government shutdown 800,000 americans were furloughed or worked without pay, but enjoy your weekend. we did just learn the federal government will soon formerly start the process of preparing for a shutdown. it is eight days away. lauren fox on capitol hill with the latest. what's actually happening? >> reporter: yeah, plan a failed, plan b failed, i think we are on plan c or d at this point. house republicans now are going to try and pass 11 individual spending bills in just a matter of days, but as you noted, they are back home for the weekend. they are expected to be meetings happening and house speaker kevin mccarthy's office today and perhaps even into tomorrow but right now the house rules committee is expected in a couple of hours to begin the process of trying to put on the floor individual spending bills, but the problem with that gamble

is that anything that they pass would be dead on arrival in the senate. it's not clear that they would have the republican support that they would need because one of the bills that they're working on is that department of defense spending bill that would fund the department for one year, but they failed to pass a procedural step yesterday on the floor, it was the second time in just a matter of weeks that that legislation has failed. so that is what kevin mccarthy is working against and he's acknowledging that he knows there are some people in his conference that may never get to yes. >> it's frustrating in the sense that i don't understand why anybody votes against bringing the idea and having the debate. and then you have all the amendments if you don't like the bill. this is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down. >> reporter: at this point one of the only solutions is for republicans and democrats to find a way forward. the votes would likely be there for some kind of short-term spending bill that would include

disaster aid or ukraine funding but you would have to make a decision as house speaker kevin mccarthy whether or not he was going to bring that to the floor because as you noted any decision to work with democrats could mean the end of his speakership and that is why this is a politically precarious position for mccarthy to be in right now. >> he can have government funding, he can have his job, it's not clear that he can have both at this point as we sit here this friday morning. lauren fox, keep us posted on what you hear. kate? >> let's talk about exactly that. joining us is republican congressman marc molinaro from new york. thank you for taking the time this morning because you're really in the middle of all of this as lauren fox was laying out, this new effort to move spending bills one by one. the strategy seems to make a shutdown unavoidable. is that the plan now? >> and i appreciate being with you. no, i mean, a shutdown is not

unavoidable, in fact, our commitment needs to be to earnestly move forward on these appropriations bills. what we saw over the course of the last couple weeks is we have a conference and a majority that comes from different perspectives and one end wants to be certain that we're earnestly moving forward with considering bills that shrink the size, scale, scope of the federal government, focus on protecting and securing our border and funding the military. there is another side that wants to do that but also ensure that we're keeping government functioning. what i proposed yesterday with a number of my colleagues was simply getting that process back up and running and i think an earnest effort to prove that we mean business is to unstick the logjam while we continue to take these incremental steps forward. >> congressman, i think what you're getting at is something that's really important because two things are true -- many things are true at one time. as lauren was reporting these individual bills moving forward, the reporting is they're dead on arrival in the senate so they would not go anywhere, but still

also true at the same time is the need to show that you are trying. i want to read -- i want to read for you how political playbook put it this morning. it is insightful because a lot of this is strategy in trying to i'm going to call it herd cats at this moment. if you squint hard you might see a possible scenario in which mccarthy allows a week to be wasted on the gates plan -- they're calling it the gaetz plan -- but then bowing to pressure from the senate, the public and his own conference passes the senate short-term spending bill with a bipartisan vote at the last minute or after a short shutdown. what do you think of that? >> well, i wouldn't squint too hard. the goal here -- this isn't a head fake, this is an earnest effort to show to the american people and to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, two things, we have a bipartisan government by design or default we have to find common ground between the senate. instead of the president sitting on the sideline laughing about

the fact that we have yet to move those appropriation bills, perhaps providing a decent amount of leadership to focus our attentions on the fact that this government spends money it doesn't have, taxes -- >> do you think president biden getting involved would make it -- would make it any easier for republicans to come together? because this is a republican problem at this moment. >> listen, it's an american problem. we have allowed this white house to allow thousands of undocumented individuals into the country, it's crushing the city of new york. but my point is that what we do need a earnest effort on both sides of the political aisle. i know both houses of the congress and the white house. but to the point this is an earnest effort to confront the wasteful spending, show earnestly that we mean to rein in the size, scale and scope of the federal government and at the same time hope that that kind of earnestness will send a message to the senate that you can't just discard the concern of the american people, you have to focus on the fact that they're spending more than people can afford and have yet

to secure the national borders. >> absolutely focusing on spending and the amount of spending is important, but with eight days to the shutdown you start needing to prioritize just as the federal government and different agencies are now going to need to start prioritizing who they're going to furlough and who they're going to keep on. so while that debate is important, it needed to happen a lot further -- long before now. you guys need to deal with in an earnest effort is important, but republicans need to deal with the republican mess right now and as kevin mccarthy has said you have people who just want to burn the place down or see the place fall apart. that's not a democratic problem, that's within your party right now. you've talked -- also talked publicly -- go ahead. i'm not -- i don't think i said anything that needs correcting, do i? >> no, and i was actually going to jump to what you were about to say which is you're correct, by the way, the other side that have equation is what i've said and that is that i came here to meet the needs of the people that i serve and there are a

good number of us who do understand that some don't want to say why he to anything and there are a good number of us who will not allow this government to shut down and shirk its responsibility to the people. our goal now, member driven, with the speaker sort of blessing the effort, which is an earnest effort, try to move forward to meet that commonality. >> do you think there are some republicans just want to embarrass kevin mccarthy right now? >> i don't play the personality game. listen, what people want to do on twitter or x, whatever it is these days, is ultimately between them and their keyboard. i think, though, what i saw yesterday -- and i spent 12 years as an executive trying to build consensus around budgets. what i saw yesterday was people who didn't agree only moments ago agreeing to a process, one that i put forward with others, meant to unstick the logjam. i think that that is a remarkable concession on both sides and the hope here now is that we can focus effectively on wasteful government spending and securing the border.

>> what you're saying is right now it is not a binary choice between working with democrats on putting a bill on the floor or shutting down the government. but you are open to and will if it comes to it, you will work with -- you will work with democrats to get something on the floor to avoid a government shutdown? >> i have said this consistently. i was not sent here to shut things down, i was here to meet the needs of the people i serve and i will work with anybody, republican or democrat, from any part of the country who is earnest and honest about meeting those needs. right now the focus, again, and to the point, it's not a binary issue, we come to this issue from different extremes. the focus right now is developing the process, committing to the process that earnestly shows commitment to rein in spending and confront the lack of security at our borders. >> congressman molinaro, thank you for coming in. your perspective critical in this debate and will be critical to see how it changes over the next 24, 48 hours, eight days.

thank you very much. >> i appreciate it. and i'm still here. >> and you are still here. you are still standing right there in the capitol which is worth noting. thank you very much. john, also worth noting is marc molinaro is one of the republicans, he is a freshman republican, who won in a district that biden won. so he is a top target for democrats, a top target even for other republicans depending on how things go here. this is a tough call for a lot of people. >> it is incentive for him to get something done or try to get something done. a trapdoor in the floor of a day care hiding 8 to 10 kilos of drugs. new details in the investigation into the death of a baby from exposure to fentanyl. a bus plunge off the interstate, two people killed, dozens injured, what officials are saying about the possible cause. and what could be the first decent polling news for president biden in some time. new polling from what has been a swing state in the past.

this morning new details about a bronx day care where a one-year-old died after being exposed to fentanyl. three other children were hospitalized. authorities now say narcotics were hidden inside a trap floor at the day care. they found 8 to 10 kilograms of drugs wrapped up in the floorboards. the woman who owned and operated the day care and a second suspect have been indicted on various charges including murder. investigators are still searching for a third suspect believed to be the woman's husband, he was seen on surveillance video leaving the center last week with plastic bags that appeared to contain large square items. authorities believe that he was carrying out fentanyl. cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller is here with us. now, let's talk about what is a manhunt for someone authorities, i think, believe was key in this operation. >> they do believe that. i mean, the fact that he is the

husband of the woman running the day care center really raises this question, was the day care center just a day care center or was it a front for a much more profitable drug organization and the answer is appearing more to be the latter. meaning having those kids there, they were licensed by the city and the state to care for up to eight kids, and that means a lot of coming and going, cars pulling up, parents going in, dropping off, picking up, which actually gave a veneer of a busy location on a quiet residential street that allowed for the other business to continue all those ins and outs looking normal. >> and the business of fentanyl is quite a business, john. >> well, it's changed the drug industry, but it's also changed the life and death nature of using illegal drugs. the cdc estimates there's 150 people across the country who die every day of fentanyl overdoses that fit into the

larger over 100,000 overdoses every year, but why? the next can cartel has figured out with fentanyl being 50 times more powerful than heroin that a tiny amount of it added to another drug that you're marketing, heroin, cocaine, so on and then anything else, lactose, milk, sugar to make up the rest, you're saving a lot of money by using way less heroin, more filler and a tiny bit of fentanyl, it's really caused profits to skyrocket and lives to end in very unpredictable ways. >> and causes people to engage in what appears to be a horrifying scheme that put children's lives on the line and may have cost a life. >> you have babies sleeping on mats on the floor and behind where the mats are folded up you have a kilo of this fentanyl and in the floor mixes of heroin and fentanyl beneath this trapdoor. literally with, you know, two of the babies were brother and

sister, there was the third and then the child who died. and the third when that child got home, the parents had to rush him to the hospital and caught that in the emergency room with drugs that revived him. >> the investigation, the manhunt continues. john miller, thank you very much. kate? we are going to take you to the united nations, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu speaking before the general assembly. let's listen in. >> the abraham accords were a pivot of history and today we all see the blessings of those accords. trade and investment with our new peace partners are booming. our nations cooperate in commerce, energy, water, agriculture, medicine, climate, and many, many other fields. close to a million israelis have visited the united arab he can ritz in the past three years. every day israelis save time and money by doing something they couldn't do for 70 years, they

fly over the arabian peninsula to destinations in the gulf, india, the far east, australia. the abraham accords ushered in another dramatic change, it brought arabs and jews closer together. we see it in the frequent jewish weddings in dubai, in the dedication of a tourist school and a synagogue in bahrain, in the visitors flocking to the museum of moroccan judaism in casablanca, we see it in lessons given to arab students about the holocaust in the uae. there's no question the abraham accords heralded the dawn of a new age of peace, but i believe that we are at the cusp of an even more dramatic breakthrough, a historic peace between israel

and saudi arabia. such a peace will go a long way to ending the arab/israeli conflict. it will encourage other arab states to normalize their relations with israel. it will enhance the prospects of peace with the palestinians, it will encourage a broader reconciliation between judaism and islam, between jerusalem and mecca, between the descendents of isaac and the descendents of ish ishmael. all of these -- all of these are tremendous blessings. two weeks ago we saw another blessing already in sight in the g20 conference president biden, prime minister modi and european

and arab leaders announced plans for a vision ner naer corridor that will stretch across the arabian peninsula and israel, it will connect india to europe with maritime links, rail links, energy pipelines, fiberoptic cables. this corridor will bypass maritime check points -- or choke points, rather, and dramatically lower the costs of goods, communication and energy for over 2 billion people. what a historic change for my country. you see, the land of israel is situated in the crossroads between africa, asia and europe, and for centuries, for centuries, my country was repeatedly invaded by empires passing through it in their campaigns of plunder and conquest elsewhere, but today, today as we tear down the walls of -- israel can become a bridge

of peace and prosperity between these continents. peace between israel and saudi arabia will truly create a new middle east. >> prime minister benjamin netanyahu speaking to the united nations general assembly. this is his first address before that chamber since he retook office in israel, and as someone who is very experienced speaking to this body it comes at a bit of a different time for him where his biggest challenges aren't necessarily abroad. >> that's exactly right. typically in years past when we've actually been covering this together, john, the thing that he focuses on is the external threat of iran obtaining a nuclear weapon and so on and so forth, but this time his problems are internal, which he is not talking about here that we've heard so far, his problems are internal with his push to completely overhaul the judicial system in israel

and the big backlash and protests they've been seeing internally and external because of that. >> we will continue to monitor that speech. we will take a quick break. we will be right back. d no matt, it followed me everywhere. personal loan from sofi. get a personal loan with low low fixed rates, and borrow up to $100k. sofi get your money right. type 2 diabetes? discover thehe ozempic® tri-zo. ♪ ♪ i got the popower of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost somome weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults al with known heart disease. i'lowering my risk. adults losup to 14 pounds. i lostome weight. ozempic® isn't for people with typ1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it.

we do have breaking news that will have ripple effects in washington and beyond. new jersey democratic senator bob ma mendez who is the chair of the -- >> senate foreign relations committee. >> he is being charged with corruption-related charges for the second time in ten years.

he was charged and indicted before and there was a hung jury and now he's being charged again for something completely different. let's get right to kara scannell for the details on this. what are you learning? >> reporter: so the u.s. attorney's office here in lower manhattan has announced that they have brought bribery charges against senator menendez and his wife. they say that his wife received hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes that they then used to help three new jersey businessmen and the government of egypt. this investigation has been going on for several years and sources told cnn that they have sent out subpoenas to people seeking information about some of these businessmen and these relationships s one of the businessmen knew menendez wife for a long time.

he certified meat to egypt. another is a new jersey developer. prosecutors were asking questions about him, his communications with the senator and his wife. this is the second time in ten years that senator menendez has been charged with bribery and corruption, the first time he did go to trial to fight those charges it ended in a mistrial and then the judge had thrown out some of the remaining charges and the department of justice decided not to retry him. but now this is a second time he is facing criminal charges, bribery charges, for allegedly receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars, him and his wife facing these charges. i've reached out to his attorney, i have not yet heard a comment. menendez was on cnn in april saying that he was confident that this investigation would end without any charges, but he is indicted today and we will learn more from the u.s. attorney's office who will be holding a press conference two hours from now. >> we will wait to hear that press conference in a little bit, that's 11:00 a.m. if you have your earpiece back in i

want to make one thing clear, i'm looking at the timeline here. the last corruption case ended in a mistrial, a hung jury and then charges were thrown out, but the activities he's being charged with today along with his wife happened after the last case. if you are looking at a timeline here, he was charged, not found guilty but then did more stuff he's being charged for now, allegedly? >> reporter: yeah, john, that's right. despite having gone through a federal criminal trial that lasted for weeks and weeks on end, he is now under indictment again for taking allegedly taking bribes from three new jersey businessmen subsequent to that indictment. what's also interesting is that the supreme court has made it harder for prosecutors to bring corruption and bribery cases involving public officials. so it will be interesting to take a full look at what the evidence is in this case because they have made it harder to

prosecute people for bribery and what constitutes an official act. i haven't had a chance to read through all the payments of the indictment but that's one thing that i will be looking for to see exactly what these allegation right side and what acts he had taken, particularly that he had taken after he was already gone through this on trial. so definitely interesting development here and as you said, menendez is the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, sitting u.s. senator, now being indicted for the second time on bribery charges. john? >> kara scannell, we will let you dig through the indictment. we are waiting for the news conference at 11:00, one historical note, the supreme court did make it harder to convict public officials on corruption charges like this. it had to do with a case involving former virginia governor bob mcdonnell in a case that was brought by special counsel joack smith. >> wow. that is something. we're going to continue to follow that. there's clearly a lot of

developing news happening this morning, but we're also watching this right now, the administration is now deploying hundreds of additional military personnel to the southern border because of the latest surge of migrants. nearly 9,000 crossings were recorded in the past 24 hours. this new video that we're showing you shows the moment a migrant family pulls a child through the barbed wire essentially, then others are coming through that barbed wire as well right in front of authorities in eagle pass, texas. the mayor of that city saying president biden bears, quote, some responsibility for the crisis. let's go there. cnn's ed lavandera is in eagle pass and is joining us now. what is the latest there today? >> reporter: well, kate, the scenes here in eagle pass dramatically different from what we saw 24 hours ago. this area of the rio grande on the edge of eagle pass has been the area where we've seen thousands of people crossing in the last few days, but this

morning really dramatically different. we've been able to see across the rio grande here, a much heavier presence on that side this morning of mexican law enforcement, state police, perhaps local police and definitely mexican military vehicles that have been going up and down that area where so many migrants have been staging. there's been a handful of people crossing this morning. in fact, you can see out there on the island in the middle of the river there's a group of three migrants that have come by. you will notice that two are wearing life jackets. there was a group of texas state law enforcement on an air boat that went over to that little island moments ago before we came on air and threw those two life jackets to two of those migrants so that they could walk safely through the river over here on to this side. this is clearly a sign of just how dangerous and desperate the situation has been in the last three days. two people have died, swept away, drowned in the current of the river.

one of those victims included a 3-year-old boy. so this is the area, kate, where we saw hundreds showing up yesterday and you can see all this razor wire and many times they've come across, they're standing there at the bottom of the river's edge trying to figure out how to get through the razor wire and turn themselves in either to state police here in texas or to border authorities. so we're trying to figure out exactly what is going on on the other side because the mayor here in eagle pass says they've been bracing for this number and this magnitude of migrants crossing here into eagle pass to continue. the mayor told us last night that he was in a meeting with federal law enforcement here in the area and they told them that there were 50 to 60,000 migrants entering southern mexico and the question becomes where exactly are all of these people going to go? of course, it's almost impossible to predict really exactly what happens. there's many things that could happen to large groups of

migrants as they make their way through mexico, they disperse into different areas, maybe they don't make the journey all together. it's the news that local officials along the southern border are bracing for as they prepare and get a sense of what might be coming in the days and weeks ahead. >> as their shelters are already hitting capacity. when you hear those numbers what could be coming, it has to raise alarm for sure. ed, thank you so much for your continued reporting on this. john? for the first time in a while a poll gives the biden reelection campaign something to smile about. nelsons'. fifth generation montana ranchers. there's a story in evevery piece of land. run with us on a john deere gator™ xuv and start telling yours.

donald trump in new hampshire, biden has the advantage leading trump by 12 points. let's get over to cnn's jessica dean she has more on this new poll for us. we're also seeing there's also a new read today on biden's approval rating in the state today. what are you seeing? >> reporter: this is our first state-specific poll this have cycle. if these numbers continue to hold for president biden it is very good news for him, as you noted, of course, new hampshire has historically been a battleground state, but if you dive into these numbers it looks like potentially it could be swinging a little bit blue. let's look at some of the numbers within the polling. when we asked new hampshire voters how biden is handling the job of president 46% of them approve, 54% of them disapproves, but if you widen that out and look at how he's doing nationally that's higher than his national average, 46% in new hampshire and 40% across the country. good news for president biden there.

when we asked likely democratic voters what their top concern was, this was an open-ended question, they filled it in themselves, 57% of them cited his age. there's nothing else that really came close as you look in the single digits there. 4% saying health. so age and health. but, kate, the take away here is that 94% of new hampshire democrats are behind the president. that's very solid footing for him in new hampshire. >> i would absolutely concur on that one. it's great to see you, jessica, and great to have a state-specific poll out which can give a really important read on where things are. >> a 12-point lead over donald trump in new hampshire is big. biden won by 8 points, i think, but hillary clinton only beat trump by a few thousand sand votes so new hampshire has been swingy in the past. >> swingy. >> swingy. >> seeing that kind of something that's not within the margin of error right now is unique. >> that's for sure. this morning authorities are investigating a deadly bus crash

in new york, a school marching band director and another adult were killed, multiple students injured when the bus taking them to a band camp tumbled off the highway. cnn's omar jimenez is in orange county, new york, where this happened. omar, what's the latest? >> reporter: right now we know that state police are investigating what may have caused this crash, preliminarily they believe that it was an issue with a front tire that may have been a contributing factor to this crash, but it's part of why the ntsb is on its way to help investigate what happened here. now, the bus is back here where we are right now at a state police headquarters in the area. we were actually able to get a look at it. you can see what it looks like now, the wreckage, it is essentially behind a fence in police custody at this point, again, to try and begin some of those investigative steps. there were over 40 people on board this bus, four adults, 40

students, two adults were killed here, including the band director, her name is gina peal pellettiere. the other person killed beatrice ferrari, she was 76 years old, described as the heart and soul of our marching band program. take a listen to one of the students who described what it was like on the bus when it crashed. >> i had to jump out the window. as soon as i picked my head up the kid next to me was covered in blood. i saw blood everywhere. >> reporter: and they were just about 35 miles from their destination. so very close to what should have been a celebratory, a fun weekend, it changed in just a matter of moments.

we just spoke to state police a few seconds before coming to you and as we understand there are still five students in critical condition right now. so they are conditions that we will continue to monitor. >> you see the condition of that bus as we're getting new looks at it, omar. i have to say you can understand how it was so terrifying and unfortunately deadly. keep us posted. thank you. coming up for us, the threat of a government shutdown is real and some would say unavoidable at this point. eight days out from the deadline and republicans now think it is a good idea to start trying to move individual spending bills, which they need to do 11 then in eight days. why the complicated dynamics that are only getting messier by the hour with nothing short of the federal government paying our military members and the u.s. economy hanging in the balance.

our champions for change, people beating the odds and getting things done. this morning phil mattingly shows us how a football star

took his private battle with depression public to change lives. >> it seemed obvious, to be a football player. the expectation was you play good football, you become an all american and then you get drafted and make lots of money and that's what i thought i was going to do. >> i'm familiar with the scale and intensity of division i athletics, 20 years ago i was playing division i athletics on this field in this stadium. one of the biggest football programs in the country, it's unfathomable. >> i think it was two years ago that harry came into your office and said i'm thinking about killing myself. what happens in that moment as a coach and as a parent? >> the first thing is it takes you to your knees to hear someone physically say that. i give him so much credit for being able to verbalize that. >> i felt like if that truth had

to be told i might as well tell it. i think it was received well because i am a high achieving person and applying for rosen scholarships and coming to the point where there are a lot of people who are unhealthy for at long time and is this what success supposed to feel like, because it is feeling awful. i think of all of the student athletes who have committed suicide. and i remember the thoughts that i had before the moments where i thought that i would kill myself and i realized that they were thinking the same thing, and those were the last thoughts. that was it. and it breaks my heart. it is hard when a parent says is, "can you please reach out to my child, i have not heard from

them." i am a college kid and i have homework and i feel like this is what i am supposed to be doing, and this is what i feel like i am supposed to be doing. >> harry does not feel the physical game, but he helps to manage the pressures and helping them to encourage them to getting help. >> he is setting the blueprint to utilize pressure to being courageousness to inspire a number of student athletes around the nation. >> and he has done a great job to helping us to be okay to talk about mental health and helps the young guys to know what kind of problems they could be facing. >> it is one thing to offer the mental health to student athletes, but another to embed them and not in my office or stuffy office, but another because their schedules are so insane.

>> the whole point of me talk about anything is to not make it weird and to destigmatize and not make it weird to talk about. >> i think of harry as my dad who is a dad who has seen mental health reach epidemic proportions, and this is why harry's story is so important to shift the entire shift. >> he has flown to capitol hill to testify. and yet he is fighting some of this stuff. and yet he is finding peace in helping people. that what he is doing right now. he has such a bright future ahead of him. >> and he is waiting to hear back from his rhodes scholar

mentorship, and he is still around the team, and the head coach ryan day has made mental health such a huge part of that, and making professionals a huge part of that team, and with his wife and the foundation, and being there was such a huge piece of that story, and harry staying with the team, and an incredible team. >> and beating stigma is way harder than beating any football team. >> and the cultural piece is so important. >> really important story. thank you, phil. >> and remember, if you need help text 988 and tune in tomorrow night for 9:00 p.m. eastern for the "champions for change" special. kate? >> we have more information coming in for democratic senator bob menendez and his wife have been indicted. we will be right back.
