united states is not going to be chairing that forum. it's going to be chaired by the united kingdom. so really a stark example here of how the u.s. is kind of wanting to pull back from these responsibilities that the biden administration saw as a really key part of its foreign policy. of course, when it came to europe and ukraine. and so it's going to be interesting to see how hegseth interacts during that forum, during the defense ministerial as well. on thursday at nato headquarters. and what kind of pressure he is placing on these nato allies to take on more of that burden. and so, while this is secretary hegseth first time really on the world stage, he is not going to be alone necessarily. we also expect to see secretary of state marco rubio making his first appearance in europe at the munich security conference as well, later this week. kate. >> all right. big week ahead. thanks so much, natasha. john. >> all right. this morning, the trump administration shutting down the country's top consumer watchdog, the consumer financial protection bureau, basically just closing it. every worker there was ordered to stay home. cnn's vanessa yurkevich is with us now with the latest. what's going on? >> so these employees, they get an email saying that they are not going to be showing up to the office, and they're also being instructed not to do any more work as it relates to the consumer finance protection bureau, which, of course, as we know, is exactly what it sounds like to protect everyday americans from financial fraud, combating some subprime mortgage crises and helping to end junk fees for everyday americans. this is an effort led by elon musk and doge at the direction of the trump administration. there was a tweet that elon musk sent out on friday that was sort of foreshadowing what was to come. it was essentially, you can see it right there. it was a cfr. cfb, cfb rip. sorry, a lot of acronyms there, but essentially foreshadowing that this was the next agency that the that doge and the administration was going to be looking at. also, we should note that the website, the homepage is down. they've taken their x handle off and they're essentially stopping any more incoming funding into the organization. you can see just what people essentially get there from the cfr. i got to get this acronym right. the cfpb. cfpb, and essentially it is to protect americans, 200 million americans protected about $636 billion. that is funneled into providing veterans with financial relief because they have been defrauded. and about $6.1 billion in estimated savings and overdraft fees for everyday americans. isn't there something there? >> the financial crisis. this is one of the things that they came, you know, which was pretty bad for america, right? >> but then people tried to get rid of it. republicans tried several times through congress to get rid of this. it didn't work there. but could it work here? you never know. there's a lot of employees that have filed lawsuits about this. this can move pretty quickly. we know that judges have stepped in and put pauses on things like with usaid. could that happen here? we'll see. >> all right, vanessa, thank you very much, sir. >> all right. ahead, the ntsb working towards its preliminary report on the rare midair crash in dc this morning. we're hearing from the father of one of the pilots of that american airlines plane, now forced to mourn his son as one of the 67 people who were killed and live poultry markets have been temporarily shut down in new york city following several cases of bird flu. why?

what should people know about your son, sam well, i'll. >> tell you. >> when that aircraft hit. >> the potomac, that. a huge hole was left not just in our family, but in the community. this hole is never going to be filled. uh, we all love sam. and he was a happy person. just constantly happy. he was a professional. he did a great job, uh, in his flying career, he was set to be married in october. my wife was looking at wedding venues just that very day that this happened. trying to lock that in. we were really excited about seeing where that family was going to go. i was really hoping to see some grandkids in the next few years that some more grandkids. so, uh, and we're really going to miss sam. but i want to say that, uh, there's 66 other stories i haven't, i haven't seen one one other victim that i wouldn't want to be friends with. and that includes the blackhawk crew. um, i just want everybody to know that that, you know, i have 20 years experience flying blackhawks and, uh. and i think that that crew is an honorable, good, uh, crew that just, um, you know, had some bad mistakes that that night. and, uh, i would say that everybody who's been in aviation long enough has made some mistakes. and just by the grace of god, we have not, uh, we have not ended in this way. so, like, they hit the opposite of the lottery. the chances of this happening were, you know, just out of this world. but, uh, you know, i know that when when sam's earthly life ended, when he hit the potomac. but his life was. jesus started right that minute. so that gives us some, uh, some comfort. and and the whole country seems to be mourning with us and that, you know, has been, uh, you know, made it just a little easier to to take. but i have been in contact with the u.s. army combat readiness center and the department of evaluation and. standardization. they're, uh, you know, for sam's legacy. we're we're going to try to make some positive change to aviation safety. and, uh, the ntsb, they've got a lot of work to do. it's going to be we're we're looking for a preliminary report you know, within a month, but also, um, it's going to be about a year before we know all the details and what the recommendations are going to be. so, um, i've called on the army to make some changes right away, and i've got some positive feedback from them. so far, and i'd like to see some things change that, you know, let's not wait a year to get going on this. let's get this the ball rolling right now. so for instance, uh, there's a military frequency and a civilian frequency. at at every large airport. i'm asking the army to stop using the military frequency and just talk on the civilian frequency. um, that way the jet can hear the helicopter. the helicopter can hear the jet. i'm asking the army to put four crew members on every blackhawk when it goes out for nvg training. i'm asking the army to revamp all the training that that's appropriate for this incident. like, um, distance estimation and depth perception and night visual illusions, amongst other things. and i've got a positive response on that, and i'm asking them to do a safety stand down and just make sure everybody gets retrained on that. um, yeah. >> you as you said, tim, it can't come fast enough for, for all of the families, but also for anyone who who flies, which is, you know, so, so many people where they are in the military or they are civilians. i'm curious what kind of communication that you have received, if any, about the investigation. are you hearing from investigators beyond your conversations with the military yeah, i exchange an email with the ntsb every single day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. >> i'm really looking forward to getting the, uh, to hear the voice recordings that were in the black caucus, that that crew lost situational awareness. and, and i think that all the clues to what happened and why they lost situational awareness are are on that voice recording. so as soon as that's available, um, i may have a lot more recommendations to what things we, uh, we can do right away to change. another thing that i would like to see the faa do right away, or as soon as possible, is to, um, make sure everybody that's operating this sort of airspace like this is the most controlled airspace in all of the united states. is that washington, dc? yet? this happened here. but i'm going to ask the faa to please, uh, require everybody to have a tcas system, even the military. and on an operational when they're using it, the only, um, time that i think that they should be able to turn it off is when it's absolutely operationally necessary for, um, for secrecy. if there's a real live mission going on. >> yeah, those are all really good points and things that have been discussed. certainly. but you're going straight to the faa and straight to the military to ask for this. i am curious if there is anything that you would like us to know about your son. i know he was about to get married, and you were looking forward to a joyous time, and now you are in the worst kind of mourning, a parent having to to bury a son. what is it that you want people to know about him? because now we know that that he was a pilot who was who was on the verge of starting sort of a new life. >> well, i you know, what? what can
