in combat tim walz on the other hand also enlisted right after high school at the urgings of his father's saying, hey, the national guard would be a good thing to get into. he served a total of 24 years, multiple enlistment it's in rose from the ranks of private all the way up to command sergeant major. now he did not retire as a command sergeant major because he didn't attend the school. that's required for sergeants majors to attend, but he retired as a master sergeant, but he served in a battalion command sergeant major position, which means that's the senior enlisted the member of a unit of about what was in artillery battalions. so i would suggest it was probably about 600 soldiers. that's an adviser to a commander in that case, a lieutenant colonel. he is the senior enlisted guy talking to the commander of an artillery battalion deployed to several places, none of which were combat, but he's deployed in support of combat. you're talking about two different approaches. one is a marine for

one tour, the other ones and army national guardsman that serves six different enlistments, a total of 24 years with a lot of experience in the military. as a weekend warriors, they're called the national guard's and that's kind of a derogatory term because they you do much more than serve on the weekends. they do a whole lot more than that. and this was a very dynamic career path. part-time as he served as both a soldier and a citizen and the environment general mark hertling, thanks so much for helping us understand all this. >> a new hour of cnn, new central starts right now they are looking to keep the momentum going the harris-walz campaign hey, heads to wisconsin this morning after raising 20 million in the hours after the big vice presidential announcement, donald trump weighing in just moments ago with his thoughts it's on harris is running mate and a possible debate. and new data this morning on one of the central focuses of the

campaign, abortion rights, the impact have restrictive state laws on the actual numbers of abortions in the united states, plus what goes up must come down eventually. two astronauts stuck in space for two months. now, the latest setback to the return home, i'm sara sidner with john berman, kate bolduan is out today. this this is cnn news central all right just moments ago, did donald trump maybe sort of open the door to a non fox debate against vice president harris it's hard to tell in the salad of war is he just said out loud this morning, we promised a forensic analysis of all of them to figure out where the debate issue stands. >> but he did during an interview where he was going after the new democratic ticket and the selection of minnesota

governor tim walz to be the running mate. listen shane, my reaction is i can't believe it i never thought this was going to be the one that was picked. >> he's a very, very liberal man and is a shocking pick. and i could not be more thrilled now on the subject of debates as her vice presidential debates, this is what governor walz said about the possibility of facing senator j.d. vance like all regular people, i grew up with in the heartland, jd studied at yale had his career funded by silicon valley billionaires and then wrote a bestseller, trashing that community. come on that's not what middle america is. >> and i got to tell you i can't can't wait to debate the guy right? >> cnn's eva mckend is in eau claire, wisconsin, which will be the key stuff on this new harris walz campaign rollout.

what are you expecting to see today? >> well, john, they are here to highlight the choice for blue wall voters, governor walz as a child of the midwest, expected to tell his fellow midwesterners that trump-vance they not like us that they will pursue policies that undermine unions, that they will pursue policies that allow tax breaks for the rich. and that a harris administration would not only ensure that americans get by, but that they can get ahead the campaign also arguing that they have the infrastructure in this state and throughout the region to really get this done 400 staff, 100 field offices. take a listen to how the governor is going against trump donald trump sees the world a little differently than us first of all, he doesn't know the first thing about service he doesn't

have time for it because he's too busy serving himself violent crime was up under donald trump. that's not even counting the crimes he committed. >> and john, i think that it is instructive to look at the policies that the governor pursued in minnesota, like a generous child tax credit free college for families who earned less than $80,000 a year. and expanding the supply of affordable housing. he is able to talk about these progressive policies in a way that is palatable for swing voters. and so he likely will make that case today. i'm also hearing from college students here on the ground that a attend universities in wisconsin that a lot of them are actually from minnesota who does so they know this governor well. so after this stop here in wisconsin, they then head on to michigan

and then they'll continue to make their case in arizona and nevada. john. >> all right. eva mckend in eau claire. needless to say, the trump campaign sees this a little bit differently. our alayna treene is covering them. let's find out what they're saying this morning. alayna well, john, they're very much racing to define tim walz, especially before they think that the rest of the country can make up their minds about him themselves. >> now, part of that plan is to attack him as someone who is radically liberal. they're trying to paint him as more liberal than kamala harris and joe biden an end luck, some of that's going to be a little bit difficult because if you look back to his record in congress, he spent 12 years as a congressman from minnesota. he was viewed more so as a moderate democrat. part of the things that he did were vote with republicans on strengthening the border. he pushed for deficit reductions by trillions of dollars there's, he also had the backing of the nra. now one

thing that the trump campaign is planning to paint him as is anti-cop and anti-gun that is something you can probably expect. waltz and his team to push back out. but i will say the nra did ultimately pull their support of him when he was governor and that's why you're going to see the trump campaign really tried to focus on his positions over the last four years, waltz was much, much more progressive as a governor. some of the things that he did, he a shrine to abortion rights in talal. he protected the rights of gender, affirming care. he moved to expand universal gun background checks these are the things that the trump campaign is seizing on. they are trying to paint him as being very progressive. they're trying to portray both harris and waltz as being representative of california, san francisco democrats, not middle america, as you just heard, eva layout, that is what walt is trying to do. now, i also just want to point your attention to some other notable things are going to do. they're going to try to go after him for his handling of the protests when it came to

the aftermath of the murder of george floyd. again, really trying to harp on all of the more controversial aspects that they can find. and this is really a struggle that they've had over the last several weeks and their efforts to define harris of course, remember, they've spent their entire election cycle thus far up until about a month ago, or a couple of weeks ago, i should say, focused on joe biden. and so there really racing to try and figure out which attacks stick both for harris and now for walz john landed treene in washington. >> thanks so much. alayna sara, right. >> joining us now to continue the conversation, cnn political commentator and former obama administration official, van jones, also cnn senior political commentator and former special assistant to president george w bush, scott jennings, if folks don't know that by now since you gentlemen around the time you're on morgan, i am here. i mean, you live here you heard what donald trump said there. he is talking about debates, but he's also going on the attack as we expected. we also heard today from tom emmer, i spoke with him minnesota republican congressman, about his fellow

home state lawmaker tim walz. here's what he said about walls this guy who tries to come across as the affable midwestern or is a leftwing radical you tweeted this about tim waltz is saying that he turned minnesota into a liberal wasteland. >> so i guess the question is, why do you think minnesotans re-elected tim waltz as their governor for a second term in 2022 well, bottom line is, this is a guy who taxed added a build minnesotans and additional $8 in new taxes and fees after blowing through 17.5 billion in surplus, he is now put our state on a path to economic disaster okay? so we talked about economic disaster. he also talked about calling them sort of anti-police and ultra-liberal. those seem to be the three big attack lines right now, van, how do

democrats deal with these attacks? >> just let walls keep talking because they continue to try to paint this guy is some berserk lee radical crazy person. and then when you hear from him, he doesn't sound that way at all and he's not that way. things that he spent money on, the things that we need to be spending money on, making sure that children don't go to school hungry. that's not a radical idea, frankly, that's in the bible. they need to be taken care of the so-called least of these and so you have the most relatable democrat and the policies he's fighting for are incredibly popular. they're going to have to go to name-calling. here's the problem. republican party has got. they have a bad man as their candidate we've got a good man for vice president. they can't make their bad man better. they're going to try to try to make our good man look bad. that's all they've got because there their candidate cannot survive scrutiny at all. >> interesting that president trump himself said, oh, i thought it was going to be josh shapiro might have been a better choice. what do you make of walz and how it either hurts or helps the ticket as a republican looking king to bring them down. >> i agree with trump. i mean,

i thought it was going to be shapiro to its a must-win state. i guess he was too jewish and two talented for this ticket. look, walz is a standard issue liberal democrat from a blue state. crime is up, student achievement is down. they spent a lot of money, they raise taxes, but that's what democratic governors do. and blue states. >> and that's okay. >> what she did it in my opinion was confirmed her instincts it's interesting to me that she has been trying to do away with the position she took in the 2020 presidential election. she never got out of 2019, but she took what a radical liberal position. she's been trying to walk those back. then she turns around and picks walz, who is a traditional liberal democrats. so i think it's a confusing message from the democratic campaign is calm layers, moderating herself or is she confirming to us what she really is, which is a very, very progressive lower probably more so than most of the country. >> and i want to talk about abortion, which is also on the ballot. anyway, you shape it not the number one issue, certainly for voters, they have said time and again, it's the economy and potentially

immigration that's on, that is the biggest issue, but it certainly on the minds of people. and here's how tim walz talked about his personal experience with ivf, which democrats also saying is under attack as well. listen and. >> this gets personal for me and my family when my wife and i decided to have children, we spent years going through infertility guilty treatments. >> and i remember praying every night for a call for good news the pit in my stomach when the phone rang and the agony when we heard that the treatments hadn't worked she wasn't by chance that when we welcome our daughter into the world, we named our hope this rally. when you look at what happened during this rally in the sentiment and feeling that you got from it. what did this do for democrats? >> i think it did a lot, you know, the obama campaign and it was about hope and change hope and change. this is about hoping gus his kids are named hope and gas and i think the relate ability of that you have a radical, radical movement in

this country and is in the republican party about taking freedom away from women. that's what this movement is about. and you can say whatever you want, you product 2020 the five is very clear. they want to take more freedoms away from women and even if congress doesn't vote for a president, trump can just have the fda outlawed. the drugs are useful we're abortion, and you would have a ban on day one. and so this is a major, major fight, is one thing to have a woman like comme la speaking about vice president harris, speaking about it. but to have a man age he dad a father speaking about ivf. ivf was powerful trump did say this morning, it sounds like a little bit of a tone change. >> yes, i'm going to debate. i plan to debate do you think he's doing that particularly because he sees this momentum shift from the rnc where it looked like the republicans were really on their high horse. it seemed exciting to this new ticket, which there's a lot of excitement around it. >> well, it may be the only way to get kamala harris to answer questions. i mean, she's not sat down with any journalist, that i know of. she's been pretty good in front of it hello prompter, but she refuses to come and answer questions

about her time as vice president and her record when she ran for president, her record in the senate and what she was the most liberal us senator but at, some point. she's going to have to answer some questions and it may be that the debate stage is the only place donald trump can get that done. so if i were him, i would be saying yes to some debates, i would be trying to get those on the schedule. we will now because if they don't, people are not going to know the real harris record. other than through paid media which has its limitations. and so i think debates are very necessary here. can get her on the stage which i think she would want to do as well. he may have a fighting chance of showing the united states just how liberal left of center this ticket really is she has been criticized for not sitting down for an interview, for not doing a press conference when should that come? >> if you are looking at this particular coupling when should that come? >> as soon as possible? look, i think they've played it smart rpp will remember she's been right for president for two weeks, literally for two weeks. and so she had to get a lot done in those two weeks, you had to get the base of our

party. she had to get the actual nomination. you have to pick a vp. so i'm not mad that she's not doing 15 interviews a day, but it can't last. it's very important. and we can't make favorites. anybody running for the top office needs to be he has available as possible. >> i do want to ask you, van you said something last night that yes, i was up and i was watching it you said something last night that i thought was really interesting. you talked about this weird line that it came up by tim walz. he put it out there and how it has diminished power. explain how you feel like it's diminished power mean, i think we we are terrified of donald trump. we are afraid as democrats if he gets into office, he may never come back out except you know, 20 years from now and in a body bag it's because he is so committed to staying in power and so we've i think talking about authoritarianism, talking about fascists, dangerous, calling him dangerous, awesome stuff in some ways has been building him up and building up. and i think when waltz comes along, because the guy is

just weird, it punctures the kind of trump balloon. it's it's it pulls him back down to earth. these are things that he is weird. he says weird stuff. he does weird stuff. he talks about hannibal lecter, the guys were, and suddenly your opponent doesn't seem so intimidating. he almost seemed laughable. and one of the ways you go after authoritarians is you laugh at them quick word on that. >> the weird line. >> i mean, i've republicans think what democrats do is weird. for instance, when you're the governor of minnesota and you'll let minneapolis burn for four days. republic hogan's would say that is weird. and so i don't particularly think this debate is going to make the biggest difference in the campaign. i think it's going to be policies if trump will stay disciplined and make it about policies that's where he's going to have to win this thing, is who do you think is better to make your life, your quality of life better? that's the bottom line for the republicans, disciplined on message will deliver the day undiscipline when it gets dicey to be clear, tim walz was criticized for not bringing in the national guard. it was for two days on the third day, he did bring the national guard during that its concentration is it's entering talk about

that. you've got a president who had an insurrection happening and didn't nothing about it. so we want to argue about who handles unrest we can talk about it. >> and i think that we'll be talking point. we will see that come up again and again, van jones, scott jennings. thank you, gentlemen, for being here, john. >> all right. the stock markets open in just a few minutes futures. look at that point to a big opening. it is one wild ride this week and how is this not a bigger deal? we have a new update on the two astronauts who went to the international space east asia for all supposed to be two weeks in june. now after two months, they are still there and the west soccer team will play for goal for the first time since 2012 sunday on the whole story, don't use o'sullivan dives back into the world of misinformation. their computers that are used in our election held software that was the omega will miss information cause chaos in november's election the whole story with anderson cooper, sunday at 8:00

shaped our culture coming this fall on cnn like all regular people i grew up with in the heartland, jd studied at yale had his career funded by silicon valley billionaires and then wrote a bestseller trashing that community. >> come on that's not what middle america is all right, that was minnesota governor tim walz leaning into his own midwestern roots as he has become the pick to be the running mate of vice president kamala harris on the democratic ticket. >> what a few weeks it has been now, one guy who may know a thing or two about midwestern roots and being a governor of minnesota, the former republican governor of minnesota, tim pawlenty, is with us now. governor. thanks

so much for being with us. you're more of a hockey guy. walz as a football guy. how big of a problem is that? >> not a problem at all. those are things republicans and democrats can agree on what do you make of this pick? >> i know you would have loved to have seen a minnesota and picked as a running mate maybe in 22,008 and 2012 when you were on the shortlist. but what do you think having a governor of minnesota? as a running mate i know tim walz, i've done things with him. >> i spent time with him. i like him, his folksy. he's personable, he's got a good, engaging personality that being said, his policy views and mine are very different and he by his own self declaration, is the most progressive governance in the united states. now, on a ticket with the previously ranked most liberal senator in the senate. so if you have those two folks together running the country, an important question is what could go wrong. and i think the answer is a lot. >> you know, it's interesting

because that's a contrast. i think that everyone is aware of. now, you have tim walz. everyone saw him him on stage and saw what he could do. and that's what the democrats are leaning into and leaning into his biography. and you have republicans out talking about his record today. why do you think? i'm going to ask you to think like a democrat now, why do you think that democrats are okay with that contrast that what the pluses are may outweigh the minuses i think because they're going to run a base campaign, john, i think they think they have more voters than the republicans do. and they wanted to pick somebody who wouldn't alienate any part of their base because if their base is fully energized and optimizes voter turnout, they think they can win with that model. in the other contenders for the vp slot may have been for more interesting states from an electoral college perspective? but they were each perceived as having baggage, at least from the perspective of within the democratic party and mark kelly case, he apparently ticked off one of the private sector unions in shapiro's case, he

was viewed as too pro-israel in a party that is increasingly got a pro palestinian constituents when see andy was for school choice. and so they couldn't start the campaign with a vp candidate that ticked off part of their base if they're running a base campaign, just a notice shapiro, his views on israel, basically the same as everyone else who was in contention right now. so that may have been some kind of an unfair labeling right there. i want to play a little bit of what we heard from governor walz last night and asked for you to explain the why. let's listen thank you for bringing back the joy. don't ever underestimate the power of this. she does it all with a sense of joy. this leader this compassionate, careful, joyous leader so joy, hope future when you are running for office, you were always leaning into the more positive, hopeful side. >> why do you think that's

attractive? why do you think the democrats are doing that now? >> but people like other people who are positive, optimistic, joyful, and pleasant to be around. and so that's just, not just politics, it's lives. so that's a plus in politics. and i think governor walz is correct to point that out on the other hand, when people go vote, they care a lot about things like out-of-control illegally immigration, runaway inflation, runaway crime wokeness, run a muck and more. and so the joy is great but at the end of the day, you also got to bring the right issues, especially to persuadable voters in swing states. and i think the walls harris or harris-walz ticket he's, going to have a lot of explaining to do in places like pennsylvania, how do you think the rollout has been on the republican side for senator j.d. vance over the last two weeks well that was let the record show let the record show it here. first response uncontrolled laugh

there. it was yes, it was joy. >> it was joy. it's clunky. it was clunky. he's got to he's got a great life story, like a lot of politicians do but his initial rollout presentation reception, and some of the awkwardness of his responses and record it's clunky clunky awkward. i'm not you didn't use weird, but you said awkward and clunky is what the democrats have called a weird. what do you see or how would you describe the contrast between walls and vance? >> what we might see if we see them on stage together yeah, i know governor walz is again, he energetic campaigner? he can communicate, give a speech. shaye's to say could talk dogs off a meat wagon any sort of like bernie sanders in hunting gear and j.d. vance got off to a tough start for the reasons we just mentioned, but he's very capable. obviously, this is somebody but the own impressive resume, his own impressive thought process and presentation style. and i think he can come back from that. and

i think that would be a great debate to watch there two very capable people with very different worldviews and philosophies and policy positions. >> all right. governor tim pawlenty, nice to talk to you this morning. always great to see you. appreciate your time. >> good to be with you, john. thank you sara john, i'm surprised you kept it together when he said talked dogs often meat wagon. that's probably the best line of the day thank you so much. all right. abortion rights are a major issue, as you know, in this election this morning, there's new data showing the surprising outcome to the slew of new who state laws limiting abortion access will tell you what those numbers are coming up. and plus we are moments away, of course, from the opening bell, we will see how traders well respond this morning about what you might should or should not do when it comes to your 401k the sirens are going off and the tornado hit i'm thinking, i'm

the volatility and that's good for us if you take a look at what we saw in japan just over the last three days now, if you want to see wild swings, you take a look of what we saw in japan, actually that's the open it's positive if we've got that will show you oh, we're going through all of them here. anyway, it's all green it was down 12 up ten, and then up again overnight all right. >> so it seems crazy, but we need to keep an eye on japan for what they're doing to dictate what we're seeing two, green is good tech stocks yesterday, we were up again for tech stocks, which was a good sign. then we lost ground into the clothes. if we've got the market open for tech stocks, we'll take a look at those because again, that's you've gotta watch that i'm going to dictate the direction throughout the session. you see what green and that's helping us today. watch that in the clothes and then the final thing of course, is what's going on with the u.s. economy data watching mode. the first thing really upcoming now is jobless or unemployment claims tomorrow. and again, i think we're very sensitive to these

things. so we'll watch that but for now, green, we got there in the end, we got there the red sox. >> and this is a good thing big in the open so far this morning, you talk about look, there we go. still green, but we're swinging, swinging pleas to get comfortable, make any jokes about, you know, chad. >> thank you very much, sara green is good, not greed is good. >> that's what i heard on this show. from julia chatterley. thank you so much you guys. or reproductive rights are a flashpoint of this election and were front and center when kamala harris and tim walz took the stage in philadelphia last night, listen some of us are old enough to remember when it was. republicans who were talking about freedom it turns out now what they meant was the government should be free to invade your doctor's office. >> even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule. mind your own business when it comes to abortion, the restrictive

laws put in place by dozens of states are having an impact it seems, but it's not exactly what you may think would happen now in new report this morning shows a new restrictive laws aren't actually slowing down the number of abortions in the united states cnn, medical correspondent meg tirrell is here with more on this. >> what are these numbers telling you? they seem to be a bit surprising considering all the states that have started restricting abortion. >> yeah, absolutely. what they show is that nationally the number of abortions through the formal health care system. so those provided in clinics, doctor's offices, hospitals, or through telemedicine, through virtual clinics have actually been increasing these data look at the first three months of 2024 and what they find is that on average, there were about 99,000 abortions provided in the united states each month. now, in one of those months actually topped 100,000. that's a 14% increase compared with the first three months of 2023. so you are seeing that overall, even no abortion has been restricted quite a bit in a number of

states that overall number has been increasing. a lot of that could be due to the increasing use of telehealth and getting medication, abortion these data also track the proportion of all abortions obtained through telemedicine that was 4% in april of 2022 now up to 20% in march of 2024. and we know that medication, abortion already is the most common way people access abortion. that accounts for two thirds of abortions. so people can get those in-person from a doctor or clinic, but also through telemedicine. and we're seeing that quite a bit. we know that 14 states have implemented almost total bans on abortion since roe v. wade was overturned in 2022, an additional four states have six-week bans. the most recent ones to go into place was iowa. and what you are seeing is that a lot of folks are traveling from those states to other states to access abortion. >> and the other states i know have been talking about this in preparing for this as well, the influx we did hear just earlier, tim walz new vice presidential candidate with kamala harris, he talked about

abortion. he talked about ivf as well. what's his record on this issue? yeah. >> well, one of those states that has seen an influx of patients has been minnesota because under governor tim walz, it is seen as one of the more protective states for accessing abortion in january of 2020? three, so after roe v. wade was overturned, he signed a law enshrining the right to access abortion in that state than in april of 2023. he put into place what's known as the shield law, which protects clinicians in the state from being prosecuted by other states for providing abortion care and also potentially can protect people who had come to minnesota to access it's abortion. i also talked with a goop mocker institute, which is a research and policy organization that supports abortion rights. they pointed out he is also supported insurance paying for abortions in the state. and so he has a more complex understanding of what is needed beyond just the legality of it. of course, when kamala harris visited a an abortion clinic in march of this year, the first time it's

thought that a sitting vice president or president has done that. she chose minnesota and governor tim walz was there as well. >> and now he his, her vice presidential partner. thank you so much. meg tirrell, really interesting report this morning. appreciate it. >> all right. a scrubbed spacex launch could mean even more delays for two astronauts. it was supposed to be there just for a few days on the iss. have been there now for 61 days here, what nasa has to say about this whole debacle dr. sanjay gupta explores science-backed solutions for healthier use. every week on his podcast, chasing life, listened to chasing life with dr. sanjay gupta. wherever you get your podcasts you'll find them in cities, towns, and suburbs, all across america. >> millions of americans who have medicare and medicaid, but maybe missing benefits. >> they could really use extra benefits. they may be eligible

doing tests up at the international space station. they've been doing tests on the ground, but still this many weeks in nasa and boeing say they still are not comfortable and still have not made a decision on whether or not butch and sunny are going to be allowed to return to earth? on that starliner spacecraft. and so what's happening now is it's impacting other missions to the international space station like that spacex crew-9 mission, which was supposed to launch in mid august. it has now slipped. nasa announcing just yesterday to mid-september launches do slip all the time. but this significant because nasa says they're doing it to maintain what's called operational flexibility up at the international space station. in other words, they say that this quote allows more time for mission managers to finalize return planning. and so now what's happening is in the next few days, we believe that nasa is going to hold hold what's called an agency level flight readiness review. and so

this is the moment when all the boeing engineers are going to sit before nasa and say, this is why we think our spacecraft is either safe or not safe to bring butch and sunny home. and then from there, these top-level nasa, nasa executives are going to determine if they can come back khan starliner. but i asked bill nelson, the nasa administrators press secretary, who exactly has the final say here and this is what she said in a statement. she said, quote, the administrator, bill nelson, is going to make the final decision. his top priority as always, is the safety of the crew and you know, john on this is really significant because bill nelson knows what happens when you can make the wrong decision in spaceflight. he was first assigned to the challenger crew. he later was put on a different crew. and then as a member of the house, a congressman, he sat on the committee that investigated the challenger accident. those seven astronauts that were killed were his friends and so

he is going to be the person making that final decision and you know, john, it's something that he of course, is going to take very seriously no question about that. all alright. kristin fisher, thank you very much. and asked for butch and sunny. you said i just hope they brought a change of sox. sara at the top of the hour j.d. vance set to speak to the media in michigan, a state where kamala harris and tim walz are taking their campaign today as well also a dramatic win means team usa will be going for gold in women's soccer for the first time in 12 years. >> that's ahead. >> this situation room with wolf blitzer didn't night it six. what cnn kids love summer break, but parents well care.com makes it easy to find background checks, child care of that fits your summer schedule from long term to short notice. give yourself health a break this summer. >> go to care.com. now, when

paris. >> and this is cnn it's finally happening again, the u.s. women's soccer team has going for gold after winning his semifinal thriller against germany and split does i'm hoping amaze balls, the game winner scored there by sophia smith, with just minutes left in the match. the women's team will now take on brazil in the gold medal match this saturday, they'll look to win gold for the first time since 2012, joining me now sam, us retired member of the world cup champion us national women's team. thank you so much for joining us. you're also the editor in chief of the women's game, part of the men in blazer's media network. awesome. sam, just tell us what is it like to be there? what is it like to have to experience this when you know that the next game is going for gold oh

my gosh, well, as a player, i mean, this team has come so far, so quickly. >> they're under a brand new manager who's this gold medal match will be only her tenth game coaching this team. as a player here, it's all been building, it's all been culminating. i think there's so much pressure being at a world tournament like this there in paris. it's the olympics. there's pressure internally within the team to perform really well. it's competitive within the team and i think just as this has built and grown, the players are feeling so excited. any tired legs? might have are kind of falling by the wayside. i think going through something like this as a group just really unites you, brings you together. it must be such a dream come true how do you deal with that pressure though? >> the pressure not just of the coach and your teammates and the expectation with the pressure from the public to win gold, it is such a heavy burden burden to bear, although it can be really excited definitely.

>> i mean, i think this team has coming off of what was a pretty disappointing world cup last summer, they exited in the first knockout stage game and heartbreaking penalty kick shootout and so i think that having a performance like that may have lifted some pressure off of this team. the us women it's national team is always the pinnacle of women's soccer globally, it has been really for as long as the team has existed, i think winning so many championships, winning so many world cup, so many olympics. the team has always been looked at as we must win, or it's deemed a failure. and i think that through the last couple of years the team has had a chance to rebuild a little bit. like i said, get this new man in a jar. there is this new generation of talent emerging, and i almost feel like some of that pressure was lifted off of the team this past year, we there was some doubt cast on them in the media about how they would perform this tournament and as it's gone on, they've just kind of shed all of that doubt. they've lifted themselves up and they've used their talent and their connection to each other. and this newfound trust they found what the manager emma hayes and so i think it's been

such a joy to watch them there. they're able to play through that pressure with joy and excitement and love for the game and passion sometimes it is easier to be the underdog and then rise up. >> and that makes it that much more for exciting. i do want to talk to you about women in sport. there has been a lot of talk about pay parity and that sort of thing. where do you stand on that and where is it now when it comes to women in sports since the soccer team, frankly is the soccer team better than the men, generally speaking? >> yeah. so i was part of the group of women who sued us soccer a few years ago as part of the equal pay lawsuit. and i think that i learned so much about sticking together through times that the power really is in the collective. obviously, i am very gung-ho for pay equity for pay equality across all sport. i think that it takes players stepping up and speaking out in order to make things like that happen. and what i learned through the journey of the u.s. women's national team, being part of that is you have to push for

what you want. you have to ask for more and players, like the players on the u.s. team, we were brianna, a privileged position where we could step up safely and ask for that. we have great labor laws here in the u.s. and i think it's now our obligation to help players from other countries who are not as protected as we were and continuing to push for that is showing in the quality of the game that is going on at a tournament like the olympics right now what, the heck of a lot of excitement. same us. thank you for taking the time with us. you are a champion in our eyes and will always be appreciate you thank you. yeah. i love the way the us team is playing right now. big turnaround from the world cup thank you all for joining us. this has been cnn news central with john berman, sara sidner, and kate baldwin, newsroom up next sunday, on the whole story, donie o'sullivan dives back into the world of misinformation. no computers that are using our election
