the commander aboard the International

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:26,670
Space Station and during this entire

12
00:00:30,429 --> 00:00:27,330
ordeal

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:30,439
he's been onboard the ISS in orbit from

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:33,210
220 miles above the earth and it's a

15
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:34,890
rare opportunity to talk to anyone on

16
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:36,450
board the space station line this

17
00:00:40,850 --> 00:00:38,730
morning we are Scott Kelly joins us now

18
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:40,860
live from outer space to talk about the

19
00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:42,690
progress his sister-in-law is making in

20
00:00:46,190 --> 00:00:44,399
Scott good morning the progress that

21
00:00:52,490 --> 00:00:46,200
Gaby's making seems to defy the odds

22
00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:52,500
that has got to lift your spirits yeah

23
00:00:56,270 --> 00:00:54,449
it's it's really good news every time I

24
00:00:59,720 --> 00:00:56,280
I talked to my brother it seems like

25
00:01:01,970 --> 00:00:59,730
she's making really small steps which I

26
00:01:07,010 --> 00:01:01,980
think in this type of injury is really

27
00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:07,020
really critical and you know looking you

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:08,970
know we're all optimistic about her

29
00:01:17,810 --> 00:01:16,290
outcome talk to your brother and person

30
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:17,820
you're getting from him how do you think

31
00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:23,430
he's coping with all of this I actually

32
00:01:27,499 --> 00:01:26,040
I probably talk to him at least twice a

33
00:01:29,810 --> 00:01:27,509
day in the morning when I get up and

34
00:01:34,370 --> 00:01:29,820
then right before I go to sleep

35
00:01:38,149 --> 00:01:34,380
and so I spoke to him actually this

36
00:01:39,859 --> 00:01:38,159
morning and I think he's coping as well

37
00:01:43,460 --> 00:01:39,869
as you can in this type of situation

38
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,470
certainly it's you know it's very very

39
00:01:48,530 --> 00:01:45,600
difficult but I think he's doing is

40
00:01:51,539 --> 00:01:48,540
about as as best as as good as you could

41
00:01:53,910 --> 00:01:51,549
expect anyone to do

42
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:53,920
got back to that fateful day how did you

43
00:01:57,330 --> 00:01:55,570
hear about the shooting of Gabby and

44
00:01:58,980 --> 00:01:57,340
what went through your mind mark that is

45
00:02:06,749 --> 00:01:58,990
was just disbelief for a number of

46
00:02:10,499 --> 00:02:06,759
minutes well I got a call from the

47
00:02:12,449 --> 00:02:10,509
control center in Houston that the chief

48
00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:12,459
of the astronaut office Peggy Whitson

49
00:02:18,449 --> 00:02:15,760
was going to give me a call in a few

50
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:18,459
minutes on a private space-to-ground

51
00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:22,330
channel and when you hear that you're

52
00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:25,360
kind of you know expecting bad news to

53
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:27,760
get a cut without any heads-up to tell

54
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:29,890
you to have Houston tell you that the

55
00:02:34,229 --> 00:02:31,690
chief of the astronaut office is going

56
00:02:35,550 --> 00:02:34,239
to you know call you soon and you know I

57
00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:35,560
talked to her a couple of minutes later

58
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:38,440
and she you know told me that you know

59
00:02:43,370 --> 00:02:41,050
Gabby had been shot and you know there

60
00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:43,380
were certain unconfirmed reports of

61
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:47,440
things and and and that was that it was

62
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:51,730
a pretty pretty quick conversation now

63
00:02:55,229 --> 00:02:53,290
when you started getting those first

64
00:02:57,569 --> 00:02:55,239
initial reports said you heard like some

65
00:02:58,920 --> 00:02:57,579
people initially had that she had had

66
00:03:04,220 --> 00:02:58,930
died and what was your first reaction

67
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:08,850
well I told Houston when as soon as I

68
00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:11,650
got the word that I wanted to hear any

69
00:03:16,890 --> 00:03:14,049
news that the news was reporting and

70
00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:16,900
they you know they complied with my my

71
00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:19,620
requests so they told me and again on a

72
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:23,200
private channel you know that the the

73
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:25,570
tragic news that was you know

74
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:27,070
fortunately turned out to be incorrect

75
00:03:34,740 --> 00:03:30,790
so yeah I had heard that and I knew it

76
00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:34,750
was unconfirmed so it was of course you

77
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:38,440
know a horrible thing to hear and but I

78
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:40,720
still hope that since it wasn't

79
00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:42,430
confirmed that it wasn't true in it and

80
00:03:49,110 --> 00:03:46,630
it turned out you know that that was the

81
00:03:51,970 --> 00:03:49,120
case which was you know fantastic news

82
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:51,980
to eventually hear

83
00:03:56,559 --> 00:03:54,530
have you two are best friends has it

84
00:03:58,180 --> 00:03:56,569
been frustrating to be 220 miles above

85
00:04:04,809 --> 00:03:58,190
the earth and not be it marking Gabby

86
00:04:08,860 --> 00:04:04,819
side well certainly tom I would prefer

87
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:08,870
to be there with with Gabby and my

88
00:04:14,979 --> 00:04:12,080
brother and other friends and family but

89
00:04:17,650 --> 00:04:14,989
I don't get easily frustrated and I

90
00:04:20,740 --> 00:04:17,660
recognize that you know the best thing I

91
00:04:22,420 --> 00:04:20,750
can do in my situation which is here on

92
00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:22,430
the space station is to just continue to

93
00:04:30,159 --> 00:04:25,760
do my job do it as best as I know how

94
00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:30,169
and and then to support my brother and

95
00:04:35,950 --> 00:04:33,500
how I can support him from here and you

96
00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:35,960
know other friends and family which is

97
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:38,510
you know frequent phone calls I call him

98
00:04:44,290 --> 00:04:40,610
off and I call my kids more often than I

99
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:44,300
was able to talk to them and so you know

100
00:04:48,730 --> 00:04:46,490
it's not really frustrating I kind of

101
00:04:50,379 --> 00:04:48,740
understand that's these are the cards

102
00:04:54,129 --> 00:04:50,389
were dealt and we have to have to live

103
00:04:55,990 --> 00:04:54,139
with them now you mentioned how you were

104
00:04:57,730 --> 00:04:56,000
able to talk to your family more often

105
00:05:00,219 --> 00:04:57,740
because of this especially your children

106
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:00,229
both of you having two children how have

107
00:05:03,010 --> 00:05:01,490
they been able to cope with this and

108
00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:03,020
have you been able to communicate all of

109
00:05:11,020 --> 00:05:05,030
this information to them to keep them

110
00:05:12,909 --> 00:05:11,030
calm well you know they were certainly

111
00:05:15,820 --> 00:05:12,919
very very upset when they they had

112
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:15,830
thought Gabby had died and and there's

113
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:17,930
they were still upset of course you know

114
00:05:25,779 --> 00:05:20,810
just from the fact that she was shot and

115
00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:25,789
is going to have a long recovery and you

116
00:05:31,779 --> 00:05:29,120
know so I talk to him often and you know

117
00:05:34,060 --> 00:05:31,789
kids fortunately I think are somewhat

118
00:05:36,850 --> 00:05:34,070
you know more resilient in a lot of ways

119
00:05:39,430 --> 00:05:36,860
than adults and you know they're doing

120
00:05:42,580 --> 00:05:39,440
better and you know they certainly care

121
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:42,590
for her and you know are upset about it

122
00:05:48,820 --> 00:05:47,450
but but I think they'll be okay Natha

123
00:05:50,980 --> 00:05:48,830
Scott as you know has made the backup

124
00:05:53,260 --> 00:05:50,990
commander for sts-134 but knowing your

125
00:06:00,070 --> 00:05:53,270
brother knowing Gabby do you think Mark

126
00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:00,080
will be on that mission you know I don't

127
00:06:06,100 --> 00:06:03,440
I don't know it's possible then it's

128
00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:06,110
also possible that he might not be

129
00:06:13,010 --> 00:06:10,830
you know it's a decision that that you

130
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:13,020
know he'll make in in consultation with

131
00:06:19,460 --> 00:06:15,570
with the astronaut office and other

132
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:19,470
other folks at NASA and you know there

133
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:22,350
are a lot of things to consider but I

134
00:06:28,550 --> 00:06:25,110
think he'll he'll make you know the

135
00:06:31,070 --> 00:06:28,560
right decision and you know I think it

136
00:06:34,490 --> 00:06:31,080
will also weigh what Gabby would want in

137
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:34,500
this in this you know scenario and I

138
00:06:39,380 --> 00:06:36,990
think we'll know something about that in

139
00:06:41,650 --> 00:06:39,390
a couple of weeks within a few weeks

140
00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:41,660
from now

141
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:43,790
and we can only imagine just how

142
00:06:47,410 --> 00:06:45,530
difficult this probably is for you to

143
00:06:49,390 --> 00:06:47,420
try to cope being so far away as you've

144
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:49,400
mentioned and try to continue your

145
00:06:54,370 --> 00:06:51,530
training and all of that can you give us

146
00:06:56,470 --> 00:06:54,380
any ID on this how NASA may have helped

147
00:06:57,730 --> 00:06:56,480
you to prepare you for all of the train

148
00:07:04,660 --> 00:06:57,740
that you've been doing but preparing for

149
00:07:08,110 --> 00:07:04,670
something like this well we have you

150
00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:08,120
know prior to flight we have training

151
00:07:15,580 --> 00:07:11,140
and how to cope with these kind of

152
00:07:17,350 --> 00:07:15,590
situations and although you you hope

153
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:17,360
never to experience one we have

154
00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:19,610
something like this we have had you know

155
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:21,200
people experience death of family

156
00:07:27,970 --> 00:07:25,850
members and such in the past so you know

157
00:07:29,770 --> 00:07:27,980
I think the training helps with that and

158
00:07:31,660 --> 00:07:29,780
you know there's a lot of avenues for

159
00:07:35,620 --> 00:07:31,670
communication not only with your friends

160
00:07:41,070 --> 00:07:35,630
and family but you know we have a we

161
00:07:43,690 --> 00:07:41,080
have you know frequent conferences with

162
00:07:45,580 --> 00:07:43,700
psychologists and psychiatrists just as

163
00:07:48,010 --> 00:07:45,590
a matter of course as a matter of you

164
00:07:51,910 --> 00:07:48,020
know being in this isolated environment

165
00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:51,920
so there are avenues for for us to talk

166
00:08:00,640 --> 00:07:54,350
to people if we if we need to in this

167
00:08:02,230 --> 00:08:00,650
type of circumstance very interesting

168
00:08:03,610 --> 00:08:02,240
that you look at the window of the space

169
00:08:05,230 --> 00:08:03,620
station every day and you see that

170
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:05,240
peaceful world and yet when you get in

171
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:07,310
close there are these kinds of things

172
00:08:13,390 --> 00:08:11,000
that can jar anyone your feelings now as

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:13,400
you face the recovery of your

174
00:08:19,930 --> 00:08:14,570
sister-in-law and help your brother

175
00:08:21,310 --> 00:08:19,940
along you know it's like I said it's a

176
00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:21,320
horrible tragedy you know it's

177
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:23,360
definitely a you know definitely been

178
00:08:27,850 --> 00:08:26,090
said a little bit of anger but you know

179
00:08:31,060 --> 00:08:27,860
I think in time people get over that

180
00:08:34,810 --> 00:08:31,070
what I would like to try to focus on you

181
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:34,820
know the more of the positive things and

182
00:08:39,820 --> 00:08:37,360
you know maybe give a little bit of a

183
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:39,830
you know positive advice and you know

184
00:08:46,210 --> 00:08:41,570
what we do here in space is is

185
00:08:48,460 --> 00:08:46,220
incredibly challenging and and our

186
00:08:50,350 --> 00:08:48,470
country faces a lot of challenges and

187
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:50,360
you know the way we we deal with

188
00:08:53,230 --> 00:08:52,010
challenges in this kind of environment

189
00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:53,240
doing things that are very very

190
00:08:57,340 --> 00:08:55,279
difficult is through teamwork

191
00:09:02,710 --> 00:08:57,350
you know and I'd like to see maybe more

192
00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:02,720
teamwork you know with people not only

193
00:09:06,460 --> 00:09:04,399
in our government but everyone in

194
00:09:10,239 --> 00:09:06,470
meeting the challenges our country faces

195
00:09:11,889 --> 00:09:10,249
so you know hopefully if anything good

196
00:09:14,619 --> 00:09:11,899
can come out of something like this it's

197
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:14,629
it's that we we learn to work better

198
00:09:19,660 --> 00:09:18,170

00:09:54,180 --> 00:09:52,290
thank you so much commander Kelly thank

00:09:57,660 --> 00:09:54,190
you very much for talking with us so

211
00:10:00,480 --> 00:09:57,670
I'll begin now your brother tells us

212
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:00,490
that you call five or six times a day

213
00:10:10,769 --> 00:10:03,370
why don't you most want to say to him in

214
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:10,779
this moment well you know during you

215
00:10:14,970 --> 00:10:12,370
know difficult situations I think it's

216
00:10:17,010 --> 00:10:14,980
important to you know have frequent

217
00:10:19,290 --> 00:10:17,020
contact with your you know family

218
00:10:21,510 --> 00:10:19,300
members and people that you're close to

219
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:21,520
and my brother and I are very very close

220
00:10:26,970 --> 00:10:24,250
and you know I think it's you know it's

221
00:10:29,250 --> 00:10:26,980
good for for him for me to be talking to

222
00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:29,260
him and it's also good for me so I think

223
00:10:35,220 --> 00:10:32,580
it's a it's a kind of a two-way thing

224
00:10:38,730 --> 00:10:35,230
for us that it's you know somewhat

225
00:10:41,460 --> 00:10:38,740
comforting to both of us and just the

226
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:41,470
way this the you know the technology

227
00:10:45,449 --> 00:10:43,450
works on board the space station he

228
00:10:49,500 --> 00:10:45,459
can't call me so I have to call him and

229
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:49,510
I've been doing that fairly frequently

230
00:11:01,410 --> 00:10:54,250
is there a word a sentence that you say

231
00:11:05,069 --> 00:11:01,420
to each other and tough time you know

232
00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:05,079
we're not that you know touchy-feely

233
00:11:10,319 --> 00:11:08,320
kind of people and so you know when I

234
00:11:11,759 --> 00:11:10,329
call I just ask them you know usually

235
00:11:14,250 --> 00:11:11,769
the first thing is you know how's Gabby

236
00:11:17,790 --> 00:11:14,260
and then you know how are you doing and

237
00:11:20,879 --> 00:11:17,800
you know we just talked about you know

238
00:11:24,900 --> 00:11:20,889
mostly her and her condition but other

239
00:11:27,019 --> 00:11:24,910
things like we we normally do so now I

240
00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:27,029
wouldn't say there's any you know

241
00:11:33,930 --> 00:11:31,240
specific sentence that you know thing

242
00:11:37,790 --> 00:11:33,940
that I say to them every time to try to

243
00:11:43,070 --> 00:11:37,800
you know make things better for them

244
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:43,080
I just want to note that 200 miles up

245
00:12:02,880 --> 00:11:44,570
I've been accused of a touchy-feely

246
00:12:09,060 --> 00:12:05,250
is the commander still there I just want

247
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:09,070
to make sure you can still hear me yeah

248
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:10,930
I can I can hear ya I didn't know if you

249
00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:12,250
I mean you mean you might have been cut

250
00:12:17,910 --> 00:12:13,870
out I didn't know if you had a if there

251
00:12:18,780 --> 00:12:17,920
was a another question on that oh okay

252
00:12:21,930 --> 00:12:18,790
good

253
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:21,940
no I wasn't you should have stated a

254
00:12:27,750 --> 00:12:23,770
very moving statement at the end of what

255
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:27,760
you said you were better than this we

256
00:12:43,470 --> 00:12:39,360
know I think our our country you know

257
00:12:46,260 --> 00:12:43,480
faces a lot of challenges and you know

258
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:46,270
we face a lot of challenges here in the

259
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:50,770
space program and constant and the way

260
00:12:55,710 --> 00:12:53,050
we deal with those in the way we

261
00:12:57,990 --> 00:12:55,720
overcome them is through teamwork and I

262
00:13:00,210 --> 00:12:58,000
think you know I think in America today

263
00:13:03,990 --> 00:13:00,220
with all the challenges we do face we

264
00:13:06,570 --> 00:13:04,000
need to show more teamwork and and I

265
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:06,580
think you know that works and and I

266
00:13:13,380 --> 00:13:10,330
think it'll help us you not only get

267
00:13:15,810 --> 00:13:13,390
past things like this but you know see a

268
00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:15,820
better future for for not only ourselves

269
00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:18,880
but for our children and and you know

270
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:25,809
I know that and Cheers human terms there

271
00:13:33,759 --> 00:13:28,250
are a lot of people who imagine that at

272
00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:33,769
this moment it must be so difficult for

273
00:13:39,069 --> 00:13:36,470
you not to be here that you must wish in

274
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:39,079
a thousand ways you can simply walk out

275
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:46,370
a door and come back is that true well

276
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:48,170
you know that's a that's a tough

277
00:13:54,460 --> 00:13:50,569
question to answer because I'm kind of a

278
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:54,470
realist and I don't you know I

279
00:14:00,790 --> 00:13:57,290
understand this is you know this is a

280
00:14:03,879 --> 00:14:00,800
situation I am in I'm certainly would

281
00:14:07,420 --> 00:14:03,889
prefer to be you know there to support

282
00:14:11,139 --> 00:14:07,430
you know Gabby my brother my kids you

283
00:14:14,230 --> 00:14:11,149
know friends and family but you know the

284
00:14:16,059 --> 00:14:14,240
fact that I can't and you know even if

285
00:14:18,850 --> 00:14:16,069
it was a tragedy worse than this there

286
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:18,860
was just no way I am coming back to

287
00:14:25,689 --> 00:14:23,930
earth before March 16th you know unless

288
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:25,699
there was some kind of major emergency

289
00:14:30,370 --> 00:14:27,290
on the space station that's just you

290
00:14:31,749 --> 00:14:30,380
know we know that going into this into a

291
00:14:34,059 --> 00:14:31,759
flight like this so I know I'm not

292
00:14:36,929 --> 00:14:34,069
coming home so you know I think the best

293
00:14:39,999 --> 00:14:36,939
I can do is just continue to do my job

294
00:14:43,269 --> 00:14:40,009
as I've done all along and you know

295
00:14:46,389 --> 00:14:43,279
support my brother and my kids and and

296
00:14:49,860 --> 00:14:46,399
other others as best I can through the

297
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:49,870
means we have onboard the space station

298
00:14:55,439 --> 00:14:52,720
you said in your statement that

299
00:15:00,670 --> 00:14:55,449
congresswoman Giffords is a brilliant

300
00:15:06,540 --> 00:15:00,680
Patriot tell us the thing you first

301
00:15:14,319 --> 00:15:10,439
you know what's great about Gabby is she

302
00:15:17,879 --> 00:15:14,329
treats everyone the same and you know

303
00:15:20,980 --> 00:15:17,889
she's always interested in their opinion

304
00:15:23,170 --> 00:15:20,990
interested you know in you know what

305
00:15:25,059 --> 00:15:23,180
what their lives are like interested in

306
00:15:27,819 --> 00:15:25,069
trying to help them and it doesn't

307
00:15:29,679 --> 00:15:27,829
matter you know from what you know walk

308
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:29,689
of life they are from what party they

309
00:15:34,780 --> 00:15:32,689
are she's genuinely a you know a kind

310
00:15:37,660 --> 00:15:34,790
caring person

311
00:15:40,300 --> 00:15:37,670
and incredibly incredibly dedicated to

312
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:40,310
her job in Congress and to our country

313
00:15:46,660 --> 00:15:44,090
and not that this should happen to

314
00:15:49,150 --> 00:15:46,670
anybody but for it to happen in some way

315
00:15:52,750 --> 00:15:49,160
when like her makes it even you know

316
00:15:55,090 --> 00:15:52,760
even that more just shocking and you

317
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:55,100
know such a horrible tragedy not to you

318
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:56,810
know and I I don't want to just focus on

319
00:16:00,790 --> 00:15:58,490
her because it's a this is a horrible

320
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:00,800
tragedy on many levels I mean a nine

321
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:04,250
year old girl you know other people that

322
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:06,530
were killed and injured it's just you

323
00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:08,810
know it's just really terrible that

324
00:16:15,310 --> 00:16:12,320
things like this happen in American you

325
00:16:24,540 --> 00:16:17,770
how closely can you follow the news and

326
00:16:27,130 --> 00:16:24,550
are you following it you know normally

327
00:16:30,250 --> 00:16:27,140
the ground sends up I've asked them to

328
00:16:31,900 --> 00:16:30,260
send up the news on the weekends

329
00:16:34,540 --> 00:16:31,910
prior to this only really as a

330
00:16:36,790 --> 00:16:34,550
precursors that such that the the

331
00:16:39,700 --> 00:16:36,800
connection is made so I can watch

332
00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:39,710
Houston Texans football games on Sunday

333
00:16:43,300 --> 00:16:41,600
so generally I would have the news

334
00:16:46,330 --> 00:16:43,310
because they just had to put something

335
00:16:48,070 --> 00:16:46,340
on the television and but since this

336
00:16:50,590 --> 00:16:48,080
happened actually until today I've had

337
00:16:53,770 --> 00:16:50,600
it on basically you know continuously

338
00:16:56,110 --> 00:16:53,780
since since the you know since the

339
00:16:58,690 --> 00:16:56,120
shooting occurred so we don't have

340
00:17:01,860 --> 00:16:58,700
continuous coverage but maybe you know

341
00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:01,870
45 minutes an hour I've had you know

342
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:05,270
live basically live television news on

343
00:17:09,069 --> 00:17:07,310
and I can I can't look at it all the

344
00:17:11,020 --> 00:17:09,079
time because I'm very busy but you know

345
00:17:13,030 --> 00:17:11,030
a few minutes here and there I can look

346
00:17:15,460 --> 00:17:13,040
at it we also have us kind of a spotty

347
00:17:18,220 --> 00:17:15,470
but real-time internet connection so I

348
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:18,230
can look on news sites there and of

349
00:17:24,610 --> 00:17:22,490
course we have a telephone we had a

350
00:17:27,490 --> 00:17:24,620
chance to spend some time with your

351
00:17:29,890 --> 00:17:27,500
brother on the weekend but tell us all

352
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:29,900
what you most want people to know about

353
00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:37,850
him well he's obviously he's very

354
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:41,360
dedicated to you know his wife Gabby and

355
00:17:52,570 --> 00:17:50,960
his and his kids he's very very focused

356
00:17:56,770 --> 00:17:52,580
when it comes to dealing with things

357
00:17:59,620 --> 00:17:56,780
like this so I think you know it can

358
00:18:02,980 --> 00:17:59,630
only help Gabby to have someone like him

359
00:18:06,550 --> 00:18:02,990
kind of you know interfacing with the

360
00:18:09,910 --> 00:18:06,560
doctors and other other people to you

361
00:18:12,010 --> 00:18:09,920
know enhance her recovery and you know

362
00:18:15,850 --> 00:18:12,020
he's just good at dealing with you know

363
00:18:18,670 --> 00:18:15,860
these types of crises and I think you

364
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:18,680
