Transcripts For CNN CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta 20240911

Travelers, but look now good morning youre live in the Cnn Newsroom. Im Jim Acosta in washington tonight, perhaps the most important 90 minutes of this year as a polarized nation comes together for the only scheduled debate in this bitter race for the White House. This is the stage where Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will meet facetoface for the first time. With less than two months until election day. Both candidates are determined to find an edge heres why this New York Times Sienna College Poll i like some of the other polls out there showing no clear leader with both Harris And Trump locked in a statistical deadheat tonight. A chance to pull away he played with this really old and tired playbook, right . Where he, theres no floor for him in terms of how low he will go and we should be prepared for that. We should be prepared for the fact that he is not burdened by telling the truth and trumps Team Planning to treat Kamala Harris as the incumbent, tying her to the president s record its very clear that Kamala Harris is the one whos been running the country the entire time. And other openings i do want to point out here that harris is clearly created with all the flipflops than the illfated interview with Dana Bash is kamala said that her values havent changed and joining me an now are cnn political commentators, Maria Cardona and david urban. Maria, ill start with you first. The polls have been showing that a lot of voters say they need to know more about Kamala Harris. They want to learn more what . She needs to do tonight. I think that is a terrific opportunity for the Vice President to continue to present herself to the american public. Shes only been the democratic nominee for president for a little bit over a month, right and so she has been two rallies. She has been doing interviews. Shes been doing events with voters. I think tonight is her biggest opportunity to continue what is essentially an interview for the highest job in the land and Tonights Audience will be the biggest that she has had this far, probably the biggest natural have during this campaign. So she should treat it as such. You should treat it as a continuation of an interview. She needs its to present what she wants to do, what her administration would do, a continuation of all of the successes, the economic successes of the biden administration, a lot of the economic policies that she was part of with President Biden are incredibly popular. But she also has to talk about what people are feeling now, the costs which she has talked about, how shes going to lower those. That is going to be what her plan is going to be moving forward. Yeah. And david, i mean, this is different from the last debate between donald Trump And President Biden Democrats are pointing that trump is now the oldest of the two candidates by nearly two decades this time around, and voters may be focused on his age and Mental Acuity last week he gave a rambling response to a question about Childcare Policy and its not the first time weve heard him rambling about. Lets listen to some of what he said on the Campaign Trail recently the late great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He oftentimes would have a friend for dinner. This is inflation. This is tiktok. This is the, this is inflation. This is whats happened. But you know what i do if there was a shock or you get electrocuted, ill take electrocution every single time and i kept near the sharp so we could end that. Were going to end it for boats. Were going to end it for trucks. You can do it. Picked me. I love you so much its bad news, bad things are happening im sorry mop but didnt do a bomb, didnt being ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Theyve only got 17 seconds to figure this whole thing out, right bomb okay, missile launch, pune, pume yeah, david, i mean, what do you think were going to see tonight or were going to hear about Hannibal Lecter and sharks. Whats going to happen . Thats great. I love that montage. I used to play that paid for by Donald Trump for president and people like his authenticity. Listen that weaving its weaving, look at people like its Authenticity Polls have shown the american people people really arent concerned about Donald Trumps mental Acuity Or Age where polls are concerned about polls reflect that theyre concerned about the failures of the Biden Harris Administration. And they want change, they want change 61 of people in this most recent New York Timessiena poll say it wont change, and Donald Trump represents change in that poll, 53 people well said who would you vote for for Radical Change . Donald trump, only 24 said theyd vote for Kamala Harris for change. So its very tough for her to separate herself from the current administration when our names on the door, the Biden Harris Administration, as much as she might not want, that should be tied to the failed policies of this current administration. Hes stuck with it. And shes tagged with it. So maria, as youre pointing out, how shes needs to introduce herself to people she has been the incumbent Vice President for threeandahalf years. Im not so sure what she has to present the people, what she does have to do to people as explained, is this the most liberal senator Kamala Harris raked in the last time she was think congress is this the more Progressive Candidate who ran for president in 2019 and 2020 whose positions were all over the place . Or is this some new form of Conservative Democrat that weve not seen to date. And so i think shes got up as some positions over the year and he has changed position on abortion can he evolve and abortion, but listen, shes evolved on every issue she has. Shes been on both sides of literally every Issue Fracking guns represent. Is he going to vary on whether he last is he going to evolve on whether he lost the last election . Is he going to listen to listen, jim, you know, i said i said he lost the last election. I think i mean, you youre not i can say that well, he did he did. I think he did acknowledge that recently, so listen, jim, i think that this debate, Kamala Harris is very capable. Shes shes a smart woman. I think the key here for Donald Trump is hes going to have to attack her policies, attack the policies of the Biden Harris Administration without attacking the woman and come to look and across meanspirited and thats important. Im maria, i mean, the Trump Campaign is going to go hard. Theyre saying hes going to go hard on immigration. This week, some rightwing politicians and i guess folks on Social Media including j. D. Vance, we should note are spreading this bizarre Conspiracy Theory that haitian immigrants are eating pets cats specifically obviously not true belongs in the litter box. But maria, whats your response to all this . I think that this is an opportunity for the Vice President to show just how extremists, Donald Trumps policies are and one of the other things that she needs to do tonight, in addition to talking about her bio, her background, and continuing to present himself to the american people is show the stark contrast between her policies, what she will do, and what Donald Trump not only has done, but will continue to do Visavis Project 2025, the american public already see as project 2025, as this amalgam of incredibly extremist policies, the hour on Cnn Poll showed that the majority of voters believed that Donald Trumps policies or extremist and not in line with the values that americans care about so Kamala Harris needs to underscore that she is the one that is in line with the values that americans care about and that she its the one who will wake up every single day working for them, trying to find solutions for the problems that the american people face every day versus Donald Trump, who is only in it for himself that montage you showed, thats just weird and crazy and completely out of touch with what normal american people sent Chris Voters republican voters who dont want that crazy anymore. I think they will look at Kamala Harris and say, look, she is going to be focused every day on letting my family make ends meet, have a great future for my children. And thats what Kamala Harris, niece to underscore yeah david, i do want to ask you about this we havent seen much from the former first Lady Melania Trump out on the Campaign Trail, but shes now raising questions about the Assassination Attempt on the former president. We just got this into cnn. Lets take a listen to this. This is about surrounding the promotion of her book thats coming out soon. The attempt to end my Husbands Life was a horrible, distressing experience now, the silence around it feels heavy I Cant Help but wonder why didnt Law Enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech there is definitely more to this story and we need to uncover the truth david, i mean, youve been around the Trump Campaign for a long time. This feels not accidental, that this is being raised on the day of the debate. Why is this Coming Up today . And whats going on here . Is, there a, conspiracy happening . Whats going on . I dont i dont think theres a conspiracy. I think shes asking legitimate questions. Her husband, the father of her child, was almost, you know, came within about a quarter of an inch of having his head had blown off by a shooter who by all accounts should have been you know, it was wandering around the Event Site for hours beforehand, seen by many people it was a complete failure on so many levels i dont think its conspiracy. I think shes dont think its a nod to Conspiracy Theories, you know, i dont think its i think shes asking you know, what how to help could this have happened . This is this this person, right . I mean, there were local Law Enforcement we did their job, there were failures up and down the Chain Of Command in the Secret Service there, put that out today there were a lot of people want a lot of answers absolute, we should get out today. I think its reminding the american public that donald chubb almost gave his life for pursuant to be present united states. He stood up there and somebody wanted to kill him because he what he believed in and what he stood for. So i think its worth noting that you know, the guy puts it puts his life on the line every day in doing this. And i think thats what shes reminding. She she obviously loves her Husband Baron loves his father, and i think that shes trying to humanize him maria. I think that its an obviously as a wife of somebody who what did go through an attempted Assassination Xis absolutely entitled to say whatever she wants about that. I think shes irrelevant, frankly, and i dont think this will matter. I do think it does kind of feed into Conspiracy Theories that weve heard out there. But at the end of the day what people are going to pay attention on tonight is what Kamala Harris says about what she wants to do with another four years. If she does her job right. And i believe she will, though it is hard to prep for crazy, which is what shes going to get from Donald Trump. But the contrast between what shes going to offer the american people, which are a way to move forward for a wait for people to not just get by, but to get ahead versus what theyve already seen for four years, the chaos, the crazy the politics of revenge, the politics of retribution. People dont want that swing. Voters dont want that. Women dont want that jim jim, i think its quite real quick. I think its important what maria said. Shes going to explain what you do if she had another four years, right . Donald trump said this Kamala Harris says, im going to be ready on Day One. Her Day One was threeandahal f years ago. Do not reelect Kamala Harris if your Life Isnt better than it was four years ago, thats the Question Ronald Reagan famously. Well, David Well david that Vice President s dont make policies and so dont come dont know that if we dont know more than, you dont know how the White House works. That that is the reality. And so what Kamala Harris needs to do tonight is to say what she will do with the harris whilst administration. Morocho very clear policies that will help americans continue to move forward. Sadly, we dont have 90 minutes for this debate jim, you know, everybody wants you to believe that Kamala Harris is this strong, powerful Gas Woman and at the same time they want to believe she was a potted plant during the during the hair the Biden Harris Administration, its either one or the other. Either she was at the table in the room or she wasnt present. Canada both ways, maria, the Contrast Tonight will be something that com Kamala Harris, i think will make very, very strong and clear to the american. And well be able to thanks a lot.

Com to learn more cnn special dad, abc News President ial Debate Tonight at nine On Cnn former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris will be facetoface for the first time when they take that stage for Tonights President ial debate. And just hours from now. So how are they preparing with so much at stake republican Debate Coach immediate strategies, Strategist Brett Odonnell may have a good idea, right . I know youve helped prepare former President George W Bush Mitt Romney for their debates. What do you thinks the most important thing going into Tonights Debate and i guess your observation have how both candidates have prepared well, they beach done what they think is best to get them ready. I mean, thats what you have to do with the candidate. We adapt our Preparation Method to what well get the candidate feeling most ready to be. Step on that stage and perform at their lead dead level best for, trump had spent doing interviews and doing Policy Reviews for Kamala Harris. Its been doing mock debates. Both of them though, have a challenge for harris. She has shes done but one interview since hes become a candidate and so she has to be ready to walk out on that stage under the Bright Lights and face attacks and be interviewed by moderators and be ready to handle all of that and think quickly on her feet. For Donald Trump, its a matter of kenny, remain disciplined and go after Kamala Harris at a Policy Level rather than a personal level so i think the job is different and the job is different in terms of how they need to frame the Debate Tonight as well. Kamala harris wants to make this debate about personality and a choice between her and Donald Trump. Donald trump wants to make this a referendum on her and the Biden Harris Administration, tyre to all of those policies and make her into a weak, failed, dangerously liberal candidate thats those are the jobs for both of them tonight and brett, the mics muted again when a candidate is not speaking during the Debate Tonight, lets play a moment from the biden trump debate. In 2020 when the mics were left on, lets listen to that did you ask the question . Just is left. Would you shut out . Who is on your list . Joe this is on you, right . Gentlemen. I think to pack the court we are not going to give me yeah. I brought based on that unmuted moment during that 2020 debate, i mean, what is your sense of this . Muted Mic Issue and the fact that the Trump Campaign wants their own candidate to have a muted mike at times well, i think i think it will force him to be more disciplined because he knows that hes only going to be heard when its his turn to speak and that led to a much more disciplined Donald Trump particularly in the first 40 minutes, which is when these things are won or lost of the debate against Joe Biden back in june. And Joe Biden ended his candidacy. So i think the wise choice for Donald Trump would be to do more of the same let kamala a harris try to explain her inconsistencies in her policy positions, point those out, and stick to policy. Dont attack her on a personal level and dont interrupt her. Hes got to look more likable. Hes got to try to connect and hes got to stay disciplined in that first particularly that first 30 minutes to 40 minutes of the debate. Yeah. Youre absolutely right. Bread that is so crucial. The first half hour of the debate is when a lot of people are really paying attention, broader donald, thanks so much great to talk to you really appreciate it. Thanks, jim. All right.

New this w hello, Letter Robot I O Montgomery in tokyo. And this is cnn the united states chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan is back at the center of the election and probably Tonights Debate as well in moments, top republicans will present the congressional Gold Medal to the families of the 13 Service Members killed in afghanistan. Has that war was winding down, House Republicans have released a years the Making Report that blames the biden administration for the operations failure. We should note that while there withdrawal did happen on President Bidens watch former president Donald Trump did make the deal and set a deadline with taliban joining me now to talk about this as republican congressman Mike Waltz of florida. He sits on the intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committees also served in afghanistan, Coming Up, well be talking to Congressman Jake Auchincloss of massachusetts, but let me go to you first a Congressman Waltz the State Department is saying the biden administration is saying that this house republican report on the afghanistan withdrawal quote, and we put this up on screen issued partisan statements, Cherry Pick facts, and withheld testimonies from the american people your response to that . Yeah. Theyre saying its politicized and questioning the timing. I would point out that democrats were in charge of the House Of Representatives for all of 2021, all of 2022 . No investigation no interviews barely even any hearings. They had one. What was politicized, i think was basically trying to sweep this thing under the rug at this was worse than saigon in many ways, because there wasnt necessarily an expectation that the Viet Cong were going to attack the homeland alqaedas back, i. S. I. S. Is back. Americans were abandon and i would hope that we will just seek to four lessons, learn and get to the bottom of what happened, what the report shows and these are from State Department interviews, dod interviews. This is in their own words that the generals repeatedly 34 star generals, advised biden not to do it this way. Yes, President Trump entered a deal, but it was a conditional deal. And at the end of the day, what the democrats are ignoring is that he left Bagram Air base, he left 2,500 troops he left nato in place. He left our contractors because the taliban didnt live up to six of the seven conditions of the deal. And then it was how the withdrawal was done. You pull out your assets, your embassy, your allies before your military, not the other way around. So from the families, they just want, they just want someone Kamala Harris who was the last in the room, was she either a wallflower and had no part in this major decision or was she at the table . They just want someone from this administration to say we did a lot of things wrong heres accountability, here is transparency. Weve learned our lessons that this will never happen again, but theyve got nothing not a call, not a meeting zero from biden nor harris, which is a real disservice and perhaps well hear more on that tonight perhaps it will come up tonight, but this i mean, do you do fault of former president Donald Trump are entering in this deal with the taliban. Know more than i fault President Bush who negotiated with the taliban President Obama Note negotiated with the taliban. Actually, if you remember, Bowe Bergdahl and that trade, that was a Confidence Building Measure in negotiations with the Obama Administration and the taliban, where i applaud President Trump is where he said, hey, deals off. Taliban havent lived up to six of the seven conditions and i do want to ask you about this congressional Gold Medal ceremony thats occurring. Its going to happen before this president ial debate last month. Im sure you saw this, the Trump Campaign may have broken federal law by using Arlington National Cemetery for political purposes. That was when the former president was there to honor a Family Members of those fallen soldiers at abbey gate. Are you concerned at all about the Trump Campaign playing politics with Arlington National Cemetery . You know, jim, i was there. Those families had that ceremony completely set up with arlington and then invited both President Trump and Kamala Harris, who is in washington that day. She chose not to come. He chose he chose to be there for them. We were down there at section 60. You could have heard a Pin Drop by the way, but should they can. And i saw no can flag operation. Ive taken photos, my every time i visited, but should they come online . We should they have had Trump Campaign staff coming over to section 60 to take pictures and so on we were all taken pictures with our phones. All of us were taken. The families were taking pictures or relatives, his staff, me, All Of Us should never heard. I have this is a Madeup Rule that you dont take photos in section 60, every veteran knows you do it. And by the way, if youre going to want to shore, use as a campaign, but if youre going to enforce this than you dont selectively enforce it on President Trump. President biden has done it. John mccain did it. Harris has done it in all kinds of federal cemeteries. But suddenly were going to select doubly, try to make a distinction between his official role as former president and whether hes in a campaign by some bureaucrat at Arlington National Cemetery personnel tell you these are the rules shouldnt you follow him . Well, if the rules are evenly applied right . Have they been evenly applied . I mean, you also have precedent. Joe biden just did a Campaign Ad hitting trump in june from a Military Cemetery in europe. Where was your outrage . The media is Outrage Or Anyones outrage. He ran a Campaign Ad in june from a Military Cemetery hitting President Trump for the madeup suckers and losers comment No One said a word. You think thats now they are. Let me ask trump also said that the president ial medal and read in that regard know, i mean, i believe that 26 people who are around President Trump, you dont believe John Kelly the cheapest . I believe the 26. I mean, you have 26 people General Mills says once said he made similar comments. Let me ask you about this. Trump also said that the president ial medal of freedom, which is awarded civilians as quote, much better than the medal of honor, which is awarded to Service Members. Did you take issue with that . Well, look, i think it was taken out of context in the sense he was saying this award, the president ial medal of freedom, you literally have your limbs blown off or died for, and certainly thats better than those who go through that kind of Pain And Anguish with the medal of honor. And i think the campaigns clarified that you dont think that was mistake on his part . Well, i think theyve clarified the context with which he said it and that you dont have to die or lose limbs to get this one as you do for the medal of honor, i think we can all agree on that the sacrifices made by our Service Members should be on. I hope we would agree that there should be accountability, not a single person has been fired for the worst miss Military Debacle and the afghanistan withdrawal in our history, i would argue in our history, and when we have future attacks and americans have to go back and clean up that mess that it goes back to responsibility for the biden administration when he says its an outstanding success that signals to the family and veterans that theres nothing to be learned here. And thats a real disservice. We do need to learn more. Congressman waltz. Thanks very much for your time. We appreciate it. Lets bring in Congressman Jake Auchincloss. Hes a democrat from massachusetts. Have veteran of the Marine Corps who commanded forces in afghanistan. Congressman im clos. Lets get your response to what Congressman Waltz was just saying about the afghanistan withdrawal well, were going to have to unwrap my friend from across the aisle from the pretzel. Hes put himself in trying to defend the indefensible Donald Trump is a Draft Dodger who was attacked Gold Star families and p. O. W. S. Who has called the war dead losers and suckers. This is the individual who does not understand national security, which is why his former Vice President , former defense secretary, former national security adviser, former chairman of the joint chiefs have all said he should not on be commander in chief, and he owns the failure of after he is the one who has a failed afghanistan policy, he is the one because he was out negotiated by the taliban and in doha. And if he were president right now, we would have tens of thousands of american troops fighting against the taliban surge while were trying to deal with israel and taiwan ukraine. And congressman, what about what Congressman Waltz saying that the president , the Vice President just have not done enough to meet with these Family Members should more be done. There i. Know that, both President Biden and Vice President harris have made overtures and efforts to honor the sacrifice of those 13 Service Members. And an important way that we honor their sacrifice as well as the more than 2000 americans who died in afghanistan. And our longest war is to ensure that we do not pursue two kinetic operations in afghanistan divorced from an endgame, there was a Counterterrorism Mission in afghanistan that was accomplished. Some have been mountain is dead. But then it more under four different president s into a Counterinsurgency Operation in afghanistan that was really a nationbuilding exercise. And Joe Biden was the first u. S president to have the moral courage to tell the hurricane people. We have to focus on strategic priorities elsewhere. We cannot construct an afghan nation without this support of afghan leadership in kabul. And he deserves credit for that decision. And as you know, congressman, theres a Debate Tonight between former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, a former President Trump goes after the Vice President on the afghanistan Withdrawal One said you were there, you were the Vice President. How should you respond to that . That Joe Biden made the right decision to leave afghanistan and that when she becomes president , she will ensure for that the Counterterrorism Mission is sustained, which is to say that the taliban can provide know, harbor to any terrorist outfit that has the intent and the capability to strike the u. S. Homeland. She will absolutely neutralize any terrorist Target And Afghanistan if necessary, to keep the american people safe. Contrast that with Donald Trump. Donald trump would have tens of thousands of american troops right now fighting in afghanistan, i want to be very clear about this jemele theyre claiming that somehow they would have had a couple of thousands of american troops and Bagram Air force no, thats not true. The taliban were coming one way or the other in 2021 and a u. S. President would have had to make the decision. Do we pack up and say that the Counterinsurgency Mission to not succeed absent political partnership, or do we surge more american troops and duke it out with the taliban . Donald trump would have surged american troops and would be fighting in our third decade of a forever war. Where of a forever war, spending another trillion dollars and congressman, i do want to ask you, you are a member of the Gun Violence Prevention task force. Lets play an interview. A portion of this interview with the mother of the alleged georgia school shooter. She says she tried to warn the school that something was ron lets listen to this counselor said, well, i wanted to let you know that earlier this morning one of coals teachers had sent me an email that said colt had been making references to School Shootings between maga of feelings, the text messages, and now this email, you need to go like run to the classroom congressman. Ive talked to a number of folks connected to the Parkland Shooting since last Week School Shooting in georgia, people like fred gutenberg, the olivers, david hogg, all of them say congress has just not done enough to prevent these mass shootings particularly those at schools what can be done in a divided congress can anything be done well, j. D. Vance says that these School Shootings of which there have been almost two dozen, this year alone, are a fact of life. Theyre not theyre a effective policy we can prevent them with common Sense Gun Safety legislation. Ill point out one policy in particular and that is to remove the immunity from liability that gunman can you fractures have enjoyed since 2005, theyre the only industry that cannot be sued for the misuse of their wares. And just like the opioid manufacturers, they should have their day in court and they should pay liability for Marketing Assault weapons and other weapons of war to troubled young man all right, Congressman Jake Auchincloss of massachusetts.

Whats the latest in this case . Well jim theres already an internal Affairs Investigation that is underway, and according to the miamidade Police Director out here, one of the officers that you saw in that video right there that was involved in all of this has been placed on administrative duties until the investigation is complete. Now, the Miami Dolphins that they were quick to applaud at the Departments Decision to release the nearly two hours of Bodycamera Video that captured this encounter between hill and officers near hard Rock Stadium, hill was about to turn into the Players Entrance at the stadium when he was pulled over for this Traffic Stop and detain now, a second Dolphins Player who happen to stop the suit, what was going on was also detained and later let go here now is hill on how things could have ended differently for him, if not, for his celebrity we will do reality of it is its the truth. If i wasnt Tyre Kill, worstcase scenario, we would have had a different article, you know, Tyre Kill you know, got shot in front of hard Rock Stadium. Its crazy that i, you know me and my family had to go through this all right. So one of the officers eventually recognized hill, now a Police Union Rep here in Miami Dade defended the officers actions in a statement they said, Quote Upon Being Stopped and mr. Hill was not immediately cooperative, the statement goes on to say that once the situation was sorted out within a few minutes, mr. Hill was issued to Traffic Citations and was free to leave the dolphins who pay off Duty Miamidade Police its officers for security at hard Rock Stadium while they are backing hill, theyve called on the Police Department to take action against the officers who engaged in what they called, quote, Despicable Behavior Jim yeah, its hard to see carlos how a Traffic Stop could end up like that.

You got this tv on the edge premieres sunday, september 22 , did nine On Cnn and that is liftoff. Thats a space spacexs historic Polaris Dawn Mission, taking flight earlier this morning from kennedy Space Center onboard and all for all civilian, i should say four person crew. They will attempt to make history with the first ever commercial spacewalk. Kristin fisher joins us now. Kristen, i mean, this is a pretty remarkable in that. I mean, i would have thought by now, we would have had a spacewalk of that kind, but no, those have all been nasa. So this is important. Yes, its one thing to go to space. Its another thing to do a spacewalk to venture youre out from the safety of your spacecraft, go into the vacuum of space thats why, as you say, only Nasa Astronauts, professional government astronauts have done it. This mission going to change all of that on day three. This is just Day One, and the big thing here is spacex testing out these brandnew spacesuits that theyve developed under twoandahalf years to put that, i was there cool. Somebody was on our air earlier saying they looked like like djs and they kind of do with the Gold Helmet and the visor. Jim actually has a screen like a Display Screen in it. So its very futuristic when you compare it to you put the screen down and then you see like Computer Stuff and what stuff on your screen thats cool. And so you compare that to what Nasa Astronauts were using up at the international space station. And those spacesuits are 40yearsold. Theyve been trying to get new ones for 20 years. So why is this important . Its because a future generation of future iteration of these spacesuits are ones that spacex wants to use to someday land on mars. And so this mission is all about testing that space suit. And actually doing a spacewalk on a Dragon Capsule or outside of a dragon, nobodys ever done that before and the other thing were going to see is the spacecraft open up the whole spacecraft exposing the interior of the spacecraft. And all four astronauts inside to the vacuum of space. Theres a little, i mean, theres some risk involved here. Huge risk. And the other piece thats really risky is there going to be traveling into the Radiation Belt farther than any humans have flown since the end of the Apollo Program so a lot of risk, but for space reporters, this is these are the kinds of missions that we liked to walk, cool, geeky stop. It is speaking and youve got the spacesuits. Dont want one of those spacesuits. Could we get one of those in the studio . Will work on your helmet that will get the helmet exactly. What the Computer Stuff on it as, well, which is very technical kristin fisher. Thank you very much. Coming up. A Face Off in philly in just a few hours from now.
