allegedly threatening witnesses from his jail cell. why the defense says the search violated the singer's rights. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central significant show of force. >> president elect donald trump, vice president elect jd vance and former congressman matt gaetz all personally lobbying republican senators to get gaetz's confirmation as attorney general across the finish line. we're learning that vance is trying to set up meetings this week between key republicans and some of trump's cabinet picks, including the former florida congressman. while trump and gaetz himself are working the phones to urge lawmakers to give him a chance, there are growing concerns, though, among top republicans over a house ethics committee report on allegations of sexual misconduct and illegal drug

use, and other claims against gaetz. the committee is set to meet tomorrow as it weighs the fate of that report. let's take you now live to west palm beach, florida, with cnn's kristen holmes. kristen we'll get to matt gaetz and the questions about his nomination in a moment. but first, trump just confirmed some cnn reporting. you put out earlier today about his pick for commerce secretary that's right boris. >> it's going to be the co-chair of the transition howard lutnick. now, the reason why we have been so fascinated and what's going to happen with howard lutnick is because we were told that as part of the reason that the secretary of treasury post has been held up because of the fact that lutnick at the last minute threw his name into the mix. now, in recent days, we were told that donald trump and those around him were starting to get kind of annoyed by all the pitching that lutnick was doing. so it seems as though this is how they solved their problem when it came to secretary of treasury, is by putting him in as secretary of commerce. we saw that very kind

statement from donald trump. just a note. trump and lutnick have been friends for a very long time, so mean we're going to be seeing a secretary of treasury as soon as this evening? we know that because of the infighting, mostly led by lutnick at least that's what we were told by sources that this post had been kind of put on pause. donald trump had extended the list there. but we obviously know this is a key position in this administration particularly since so many of donald trump's posts or promises during the campaign were about the economy and what he was going to do. so both commerce will play a big role in that, as will secretary of treasury, which we are still waiting to hear about and, kristen, give us the latest on this effort by trump and others to push matt gaetz over the finish line we are told by people close to donald trump that he has been asking everyone, do they think that matt gaetz can get confirmed that he has acknowledged to some of his allies that they don't have the votes right now in the senate to get him confirmed and

that's why you're seeing him make a personal push. he himself calling people in the last two days republican senators asking to get their support, trying to lobby for gaetz obviously, now we are reporting that gaetz has been doing the same. and there is this push from president, vice president elect jd vance, who's going to essentially parade gaetz through the halls of capitol hill to meet with some of these republican senators. the question, of course, being will it work? because one thing to note, it's not just democrats who are calling for the release of this ethics report. it is also republican senators. so how this plays out will obviously have to wait and see. >> kristen holmes live for us with the latest from west palm beach, florida. thank you so much, kristen. brianna now to breaking news in president-elect trump's criminal hush money case. >> the manhattan da is agreeing to postpone sentencing for trump. but the da does not want the case dismissed. and this is coming two weeks after trump of course, won back the white house, making him the first convicted felon elected to the nation's highest office. cnn's

kara scannell is live for us from new york with details on this. kara, tell us what you're learning. >> well, brianna those issues that you raise are exactly part of the conversation. and the thinking that the da's office has worked through to come to this conclusion. they notified the judge overseeing the case today that they are okay with postponing donald trump's sentencing. but they said that they do stand by this conviction, and they're going to litigate to fight to keep it because they say they know that trump's lawyers plan to file a motion to dismiss because of the unique legal issues raised in this case, the supreme court's decision on presidential immunity as well as the issues of trump being the president elect and facing a state courts potential sentencing from this state court conviction and so what the da's office writes in the letter to the judge, they say that the people deeply respect the office of the president are mindful of the demands and obligations of the presidency, and acknowledge that defendants inauguration will raise unprecedented legal questions we also deeply respect the fundamental role of the jury in

our constitutional system so they're saying that they are prepared to fight trump's motion to dismiss this case, even suggesting to the judge that he set a pretty quick timeline on this, saying that they would be ready to file their response on december 9th. and they said that they are okay. adjourning the sentencing, which is scheduled for next tuesday because they know that no matter how judge merchan, who oversees the state case rules, there's likely to be appeals and appeals courts would inevitably stay or put on pause the sentencing to allow the legal arguments to play out. so essentially saying that seems inevitable, but they are declaring that they are going to fight this now. it is still up to judge merchan to decide if he's going to postpone the sentencing. but with no opposition. that does seem likely. brianna kara scannell, thank you so much. >> let's talk about all of this now with our panel. we have cnn senior political analyst gloria borger, cnn senior political analyst mark preston, and harry litman, former u.s. attorney and former deputy assistant attorney general. harry what is the practical impact here of

kicking the can four years down the road you never know what trump will manufacture between now and then, but in theory, brianna, all it does is put things on ice until january 20th, 2029. >> in other words the law that says you can't encumber a current president doesn't say anything about then bidding him hello on january 29th and 20th. and showing him to rikers island. so that would be the notion. but every single prosecutor has prefaced the submissions to the court by talking about unprecedented circumstances. would the case actually hang in there? that long? man, there's a lot of imponderables there. >> yeah, there is a lot that could change between now and four years from now. everything. everything, right? >> everything can change. and, you know, i think his attorneys are still going to try to have

this dismissed. right. so they're not done with that. but everything could change. i mean, putting it on ice for four years seems to me to be kind of a way out of this in a in a funny way. but four years is four years, and there will be a lot of litigation in between there's the appeal. >> yeah. separately there's this appeal. and so he really may not face any accountability for all. think of all of the man hours that have gone in to prosecuting donald trump in so many different jurisdictions. and it's possible poof. >> oh, i have i'm under no belief that he will ever be a he'll ever serve a moment in jail. >> he'll ever have to pay restitution but like the reality is for what he should have to pay, you know. no absolutely not. my question is, is how does this filter on down to everyone else? if he can get away with it, who's to say that if you're not elon musk and you're the richest man in the

world, can you start doing things to and perhaps, you know, you can get away with things? >> ask his attorney general. >> i mean, it's a it is a dangerous precedent. you know, that's for sure harry, i know that this result has drawn the ire of a lot of democrats who had hoped that the sitting attorney general, merrick garland, would have acted sooner or done something to act sooner. >> what do you make of that argument standing debate, boris. >> but if you do the math, if merrick garland had come in and brought charges, the next day instead of first working so many of the biggest of the defendants in the biggest case of all time, the january 6th marauders, you would not you would not get to the finish line by now. so this victory improbable as it seemed a few years ago was always going to be if you just take out the calendar that lead to the result that mark just talked about improbable galling disturbing. but i think

unavoidable now. so the merrick garland, i think criticisms are poorly taken given how things have played out if you look at how hard trump is fighting right now, and i know that there is some reporting that he understands how embattled matt gaetz is. >> but if you look at how hard he is fighting right now for matt gaetz to be his attorney general, and you know how much it mattered to him that he didn't quite have the person who would go to bat for him like he wanted last time what is it about gaetz ag that he is so uniquely poised to deliver that donald trump wants so badly? >> well, let me say i'm of the conspiratorial class on on this one. okay, so so so i will lay it out. this is a win win for donald trump and for matt gaetz. it's a win win for matt gaetz because matt gaetz was on an airplane before he got on the airplane. he wasn't considered for the department of justice. now he has been nominated. a report was coming out within a couple of days now he's able to at least shape the narrative of whatever comes out in that report. he's going

to somehow get support out of it. so if he's a sacrificial lamb, he's not able to get through. that empowers donald trump to get some of his other more controversial nominees through and quite frankly, he doesn't need matt gaetz at the department of justice. he needs anybody that will just do whatever he wants them to do. >> well, he's got the deputy attorney general there he's todd blanche who was his lawyer. right. but, you know this is this is the traditions of the united states senate up against a bulldozer who wants to destroy the tradition by saying, you know, take matt gaetz, do recess appointments and then he's got all these other controversial appointments. and i think there are united states senators who are sitting and thinking, how much peril would i be in if not only if i opposed matt gaetz, but if i opposed tulsi gabbard for example, or bobby kennedy for example, or pete hegseth. i mean these these senators are

trying to figure out their own political futures here, particularly if you're a tillis, a thom tillis, who's up in a couple of years. they're trying to sort of strategize what this is going to mean for them because, you know, these are controversial picks and you know, which were not vetted by the senate in advance. you know, normally you go and you call people and say, hey, would this person have a chance? would that person have a chance? you do it. you do it in advance. this is being done the other way. you're doing it after. >> so with shermichael singleton a moment ago and asking him what he thought about what some republican senators had said about this house house ethics report second or third time i've stood up today, the house ethics report right there, seeming to argue that if they put it out now, at least they can contend with what it has and get it out of the way and move toward the confirmation process as opposed to it leaking out, drip by drip, and then potentially blowing up the

confirmation process. >> well, it might do that either way. right if you if you put it out now, it might blow it up. if it gets leaked, it might blow it up. it depends what's what's in this report. i mean, we've heard from the attorney, you know, he was on erin burnett last night. we heard from him and we heard his story. i don't know how much more is going to be in there. that's probably bad enough for a bunch of people but you hear them now saying, wait a minute, i'm not going to vote on rumors. i'm not going to, you know so maybe it would put some meat on the bones of these charges against gaetz. so he wouldn't say that it was, you know, he was just being charged indiscriminately it's it's hard to say what's happening to the chances when you look at all of this. >> not just gates, but these other controversial picks to the chances of recess appointments because you have senator cramer, republican of north dakota, saying it's unwise to do unless there's a majority who want or who want this a candidate. so, i mean

what were cornyn and thune agreeing to and sort of principle about recess appointments? was it just to go, oh, yeah, we'll just like kumbaya recess appointment if everyone's in agreement, if you were running, what are they running for? >> if you're running for republican leader at that moment, you would have said, you know what, i want to become a member of mar-a-lago and would have paid the initiation fee just to get his support. but let's just simplify what should happen very quickly he should be able to nominate whoever he wants. that's his right. the senate should be able to do their job. let's have hearings. if they don't want to give the house report. to your point, it's going to delay they're just going to have to go back and do that whole investigation and i will tell you, some of these confirmation hearings in the new year are going to be off the charts well, and if you want to avoid confirmation hearings and you want to avoid vetting people, why is there a united states senate? >> i mean, their job is to advise and consent. that is their job and if they just say okay, fine, we're not going to do this, we're going to roll

over. and i think there are a lot of people who don't want to roll over. then what are they there for? you know, they have to be asking themselves that question we'll see how they respond. >> gloria mark, harry, thank you all so much to come, for the first time, ukraine firing u.s. made long range missiles into russia just days after the white house gave kyiv the green light. >> plus, sean diddy combs back in court this time, his lawyers are arguing that federal prosecutors violated his rights when his personal notes were taken during a sweep of his jail cell. and then later, elon musk's increasing role in trump's world. the president elect traveling to texas with the spacex ceo to watch the test launch of the company's biggest rocket that, and much more coming up on cnn news central political analysis. >> we have questions how biden set the right answer stayed awake.

ranked number one in network coverage satisfaction visit consumer cellular.com today, the lead with jake tapper today at four on cnn dangerous escalation today in the years long war between ukraine and russia. >> for the first time, u.s. officials now confirm that ukraine used an american made weapons like these inside of russia. the attack happening just two days after president biden gave the green light for these kinds of strikes today, president putin lowered his country's threshold for using nuclear weapons, something the kremlin alleges had been in the works for months. cnn's fred pleitgen is live in moscow following all of these developments fred, what can you tell us first about these attacks inside russia and then the kremlin's response yeah and you're absolutely right, boris, that the kremlin has lowered the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons and the scenario is exactly like the

one that we're seeing right now with the use of those long distance u.s. provided weapons by the ukrainians. the u.s. obviously says that these atacms surface to surface missiles were used in the overnight hours to attack a weapons depot in the bryansk region. that's sort of in the south west of russia, close to the kursk region where, of course, the ukrainians are trying to hold off a russian counter-assault. there the russians tell a bit of a different story. they claim that these attacks happened around 3:00 in the morning, that six atacms missiles were fired towards what they call a military object, and that five of those were taken down by russian air defenses unclear, though, what really happened. we really haven't seen any videos that we've been able to confirm about those alleged strikes that took place however, you're also absolutely right to say that this morning, vladimir putin signed an update to russia's nuclear doctrine and one of the scenarios in that nuclear doctrine is very similar to what we saw happen with those russian territory. one of the scenarios that the russians now

have is that if a non-nuclear country like for instance, ukraine, uses long distance weapons with the help of a nuclear country, like, for instance, the united states, that the russians could view that as a joint attack by both of these countries, and that could therefore, as they put it, trigger the use of russian nuclear weapons. there were some other areas as well, where the russians updated that nuclear doctrine, but that was really the main one that everybody here is talking about. and you know, being here on the ground boris, i can tell you that right now, this is obviously the big talking point here in moscow and state media, but also russian officials with the spokesman for russia's foreign ministry coming out and saying that the russian response, as she put it, will be felt. boris fred pleitgen, live for us in moscow. thank you so much for the update, fred brianna, we're joined now by democratic congressman jake, class of massachusetts. >> congressman, welcome arguing for long range weapons use in russia by ukraine for a long time. but i wonder if you're concerned that this may be too late no, it's never too

late to lift restrictions that can empower ukraine to win this war. >> and yes, winning this war needs to be the objective of the united states and nato, not simply not losing it. i think that this is long overdue progress, but president biden needs to go further. he now needs to allow for the use of atacms and f-16 strikes against the four oil refineries that surround moscow, and that provide the petroleum, which is the lifeblood of the russian war machine. >> do you think biden did this because trump won and trump has made it clear he wants to see the war end quickly? or do you think it was a north korean troops? what was it could be a synthesis of both. >> i don't know, i'm not read into the national security briefings and conversation that he was having. what i do know is that this should herald a shift in u.s. policy away from flinching every time that putin flexes and instead achieving

peace through strength by making very clear, not just to the kremlin, but to beijing and tehran and pyongyang as well, that might does not make right. and the united states and our east asian and european allies are going to stand with democracies as they fight on the front lines of the free world ukraine's war is not lost. i know that the narrative is shaping up to be version of defeat here. i disagree, i think that they can achieve freedom of navigation in the black sea. they can achieve a secure eastern border, and they can achieve european union membership, which would be a massive win for the united states and the west. >> what if trump just reverses course on this in two months? >> we have to empower ukraine to change the facts on the battleground as much as possible, because those facts will predetermine much of their negotiating leverage at any future conference. i can't i wish i could change what donald trump is going to do in two months time. that election has passed. we know that he is a

putin sympathizer. what we can do in these next two months is maga proof ukraine. to the extent possible, that means lifting these restrictions so that they can take out russian oil refineries. that means securing further loans based on the russian frozen assets. so it's not just a $50 billion lifeline, but more and for more time so they can build out their own defense industrial base. and that also means encouraging our european allies to offer fast track to eu membership with the lisbon treaty security umbrella associated with it, so that ukraine has real security guarantees putin lowered russia's threshold for using nuclear weapons today so that it now considers an aggression by any non-nuclear state. >> but with participation of a nuclear country to be a joint attack on russia. is that a cause for concern in your mind yes everything vladimir putin does in ukraine and all of his saber rattling is a cause for concern. >> this is a nuclear powered state and he has signaled these changes for months now with the constitutional change that he made a while back. that is one

element of risk that we need to contain. but the other dimension of risk is that russia wins in ukraine, that they that they take kyiv and they look to poland or lithuania or latvia, and that xi jinping takes the wrong lesson from this and decides that in 2027 is the right year to try to put an energy blockade around taiwan and instigate a global conflict, or that iran uses this as a pretext to again strike israel. there is an axis of authoritarianism between russia, china and iran, and weakness on any one front with them instigates further conflict elsewhere you're changing topics here. >> your house colleague, republican nancy mace, is pushing to ban transgender women from women's restrooms in the capitol and she said this is in response to sarah mcbride, who has become the first out transgender person elected to congress. mace also says she's working on legislation to apply that to every federal building and federally funded school. how do democrats navigate the issue of

trans rights as you also have, you know, one of your colleagues, seth moulton recently saying essentially that democrats are out of touch with the majority of transgender athletes in sports i know that i have sounds floating around. >> i haven't looked at this bill. it feels performative and mean spirited if these members of congress have concerns about facilities on the capitol complex, they can go to the architect of the capitol, they can go to the house administration committee and work through them and in good faith, this just seems like they're trying to embarrass a new member of congress. and i'm not going to participate in that about how democrats should navigate this issue? >> because your colleague, your massachusetts colleague seth moulton, he made headlines. he had some backlash. but certainly i think there are some voters and some of his colleagues who agree with him that this is an issue that

democrats need to find a better place on at least politically >> so i think it's a series of things. one, we've got to stake out our values. we believe that every individual in this, in this country should be able to achieve their definition of success and freedom, and that the circumstances of your birth should not determine the condition of your life. we want to expand the envelope of freedom that the founders first promised to everybody in this country. we're not going to bully the trans, the trans community. that's not who we are as a party we're also going to embrace, i think the complexity of this issue and understand that it needs to be science driven. it needs to incorporate values be granular. there's not one size fits all for an issue that's complicated. it's going to be, you know, age bracket by age bracket sector by sector. and we have to be willing to talk about it in some level of depth and not simply allow, i think, republican attacks that seem to characterize this issue in a binary way, and that

really i think so more fear and confusion than they do empathy and understanding. we can't allow those attacks to stick. we have to rebut them. >> congressman jake auchincloss, thank you so much for speaking with us today we really appreciate it. >> good to be on music mogul sean diddy combs back in court today after federal prosecutors obtained personal notes from his jail cell. >> those notes allegedly revealed efforts to tamper with witnesses from jail. we'll have the latest next on >> thanksgiving in america. thursday, november 28th at 8:00 on. >> do you want to know why more and more people are switching to freeway? it's simple. one low prices two tickets, accidents or even a dui. no problem freeway can insure you and three fast and free no obligation quotes at freeway. you decide how much you want to pay and how much you want to save. >> freeway driving savings 865

sides, and late last week prosecutors in a new filing, they revealed allegations where they say that combs has been attempting to tamper with witnesses. they allege that he has paid at least eight other inmates to use their phone accounts. they say that he is instructing his family to use social media to perhaps taint the jury but in that filing, combs defense is now saying that they learned that the government has obtained combs personal notes from inside his jail cell. that is why there is now a hearing that was scheduled for today. it is getting underway right now. boris and combs defense wants to know who authorized this search, why they have these notes. they say that it is a violation of his constitutional rights. so we will see just in moments what the judge rules as it pertains to the note but again, friday is when we have a larger hearing, which is about whether or not he will be denied bail. >> and elizabeth, there's this

anonymous celebrity who is filing being exonerated by an attorney representing combs accusers yes. >> so as i said, there is something new with this case every day. boris and one of the attorneys who is representing over 100 victims or alleged victims, rather who are accusing combs. he has said that he does not believe that combs has are celebrities, that they are a-listers who were either witnesses or complicit or actually participated in this alleged sexual abuse with combs. well, just yesterday, an anonymous john doe, a male celebrity. the only thing we know about this celebrity is that they reside in los angeles. they are now suing that attorney, claiming that they are being extorted. they say that there is absolutely no merit to any of the claims that they were not involved with any of the sweeping allegations against combs. i want to read you part of what was from that

complaint. you see it right here, boris. they call these baseless, baseless accusations and they say there is no factual basis for such claims. now, i reached out to the attorney who they are going this all and the truth will come out elizabeth wagmeister thank you so much for that reporting. >> still ahead, they are taking their friendship to new heights. president-elect donald trump and elon musk both attending today's spacex test flight launch in texas. what to expect from today's launch of the most powerful rocket ever built america's favorite holiday. >> spend thanksgiving morning with cnn with live coverage of parades around the country. john berman and erica hill host cnn. thanksgiving in america live. thursday, november 28th at eight. >> when i was a kid, my mom would always put harry and david pears in our stockings. and if you got that gold one, it was like you had won christmas. >> my grandmother started it and now it's a tradition that

questions you may have. >> call now and we'll come to you. 808 two one 4000. >> in just a few hours, president elect donald trump will see an out of this world event firsthand. he's going to be in texas along with spacex ceo elon musk for the launch of the most powerful rocket ever built, the starship on its sixth test flight. and as starship heads out, its booster may offer the best show for the president elect. it's expected to make another attempt at a spectacular feat made last month, steering itself back into the mechanical arms or chopsticks of a launch tower. let's discuss with former nasa astronaut garrett reisman. he's a professor of astronaut astronautical engineering at the university of southern california. he's also a senior adviser for space x garrett, thank you so much for being with us. help us understand what's the goal of tonight's launch

some technical difficulty with garrett reisman's feed. we're going to try to get that fixed and hopefully we'll be back with him after a quick commercial break. stay with cnn news central. we're going to iron out the kinks and hope we don't have another failure to launch. actually just kidding. he's there. garrett reisman. garrett, how are you doing, man we can put a man on the moon, but apparently working a zoom call is kind of hard. it's complicated. it's complicated. man. yeah so it is complicated. >> this mission is going to be very similar to the last one. the objective is to get starship into orbit, bring it back through the atmosphere. but there's a couple key differences. the first is that they're going to light up one of starship's engines in space. and this is really important something they haven't done before because they need to be able to do that. to put starship into orbit and leave it up there for a while. so far, we've been

lobbying it up there and even today we're going to leave it up there. and whether or not the engine fires, it's going to come back down but in the future, if we want to keep it up there, we need to be able to light the engines and bring it back in a controlled fashion. and what spacex wants to do is when they catch starship, just like they catch the booster. >> what are the challenges with igniting that engine while in space versus closer to earth? >> so this these engines, these raptor engines are what we call a staged combustion engine. they're very similar to the engines that we had on the space shuttle, although they work with different propellants and they're complicated engines. they're finicky little beasts and it's not so easy to light them up and shut them down and light them up again and on the space shuttle, we used a hypergolic engine and orbital maneuvering system engine which is a much more simple design. it's two liquids that once they touch, they automatically combust. so it's a lot more robust. so this is tricky what spacex is doing, but it's very important

for everything they want to do from now on. so i'll be watching that engine light very carefully seemingly almost as tricky as making a zoom call work without any issues. >> garrett as a senior advisor for spacex, what do you make of the cozy relationship between president elect trump and elon musk? i'm not sure that history has seen that kind of a relationship between a president and the richest person on the planet and you know, this spacex pioneering tycoon type before yeah, it is. >> it is certainly unique. and i think this is the advantage that elon was clearly hoping to obtain when he went all in supporting the candidacy for donald trump. he saw a lot of upside and not a lot of downside because if if kamala harris would have won, then i think he would have preserved the status quo so he went all in hoping for this return. and

he's now hoping it looks like to reap the rewards garrett reisman we'll leave the conversation there. >> appreciate having you and look forward to watching this later tonight okay, boris nice to talk to you. thanks so much hundreds of pieces of art are hitting the auction block this week including this infamous duct tape banana and they could in total fetch up to $1 billion, possibly because of donald trump. we'll explain in just moments >> sunday at nine on cnn do you want to know why more and more people are switching to freeway? >> it's simple one low prices two tickets, accidents or even a dui. no problem freeway can insure you and three fast and free. no obligation quotes at freeway you decide how much you want to pay and how much you

fetch up to $1.5 million at auction. >> this week. i know, how is that possible but it's just one of the big ticket pieces that art dealers hope will boost auction season. and those sales could offer a major test about how the wealthy are feeling about the economy. cnn's vanessa yurkovich joins me now. vanessa, i could get that for $0.29. nonetheless let's talk art here. artists and art dealers are hoping to rebound from last year and apparently president-elect trump's election win could actually offer the bounce the industry needs yeah, about $1 billion worth of artwork are hitting the auctions this week, and a lot of these companies sotheby's christie's well known, are hoping that there are some big sales and they're thinking that maybe trump's reelection actually could help. >> after a really lackluster 2023, when sales of high end art dropped by 27% and the average amount on this high end

art dropped by 32% year over year. so this year's auctions really could test how the wealthy are feeling about the economy analysts say that a lot of the proposals and policies that trump had in place in his first term benefited the wealthy, made the rich richer also lower interest rates right now will help with financing for this very expensive art and tax breaks ultimately, for the wealthy mean they have more disposable income to spend. some of the art coming to the auctions. as you mentioned, called the comedian. we refer to it as the duct tape banana could fetch up to $1.5 million. you don't actually get the banana and the duct tape. you just get the instructions about how to install it also, coming to the market empire of light by rene matt gaetz is estimated to sell for $95 million. that would be a record for the artist also, andy warhol's skyscraper. this is actually a

work of art that donald trump commissioned. but then didn't end up liking so that's expected to go. you see it right there for 500 to $600,000. but if someone wants to invest in the drama of it all maybe it will go for a little bit more la grande dam, it's called the catwoman that sold for $11.4 million. you see it right there, more than twice what people had estimated. so if last night's auction was foreshadowing foreshadowing of what's to come, there's some good news for the art world. also, monet's water lilies painting one of his famous water lilies painting fetching $65.5 million, about $5.5 million more than expected so the auctions are already off to a good start. of course we cannot predict the economy and what is to come, but it seems like so far brianna, people are feeling pretty good about spending their cash. brianna really interesting stuff. >> vanessa yurkovich thank you
