nice footwork. man, you're lucky, watching live sports never used to be this easy. now you can stream all your games like it's nothing. yes! [ cheers ] yeah! woho! running up and down that field looks tough. it's a pitch. get way more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. israeli troops emerging in gaza on many fronts as the families are awaiting information on the 242 hostages taken by hamas. and donald trump jr. is back on the stand, and why he says it is all on the accountants and the former president himself is preparing to take questions himself. >> and the new song that paul mccartney is calling final beatles song and it just dropped moments ago, and i am dying to hear it. sara sidner is off, and i'm john berman with kate bolduan. this is cnn "news central." we have pictures moments ago of donald trump jr., and i believe we can show them to you inside of the new york courtroom, and he is about to take the witness stand in the civil fraud trial against his father and the family business and they have been found liable for fraud, and the state has a plan to go after them, and his father, by the way, he is going to take the stand next week, and facing the judge right there and before each day, they let the cameras come in to basically take a picture of everyone. donald trump jr. is about to get on the witness stand. and we go to brynn gingras, and she is outside of the courtroom, and what do we expect to see? >> we expect to see more testimony in regards to the financial statements which is the heart of the case. and it is 90 minutes that don jr. was on the stand and the only last few moments of court that they got into the questioning of the financial documents and don jr. was direct in how he answered them, and he said, listen, i don't prepare the statements, and i never do it, and i didn't do it when i had a more expanded role. the accountants do it, and that is pay them for. he said he would have convecon conversations about the values of property, but he didn't think they would go on the financial documents, and that is what we heard from im. we don't expect the defense to ask him question, and his brother is in the courthouse, but not the courthouse will be to him, and the questions may be more pointed to him, because his name is invoked by a number of witnesses in the trial so far when it is coming to the valuation of properties particularly in new york, and the trump's golf course properties, and why is it important that the two sons are on the stand. first, because they are defendants in the case, and also, john, that you pointed out that in the trump org they are found liable by the judge in this case, but the state is trying to prove that all of them worked together in this scheme decades' long scheme of committing that fraud. so their testimony is important in proving that point for the state's attorneys, so we will see how they take the stand and what kind of question they are asked, and how they answer. they have both been jovial and don jr. has been jovial on the stand, and we willf that continues. >> thank you, brynn gingras. all right. now, there are also more updates in the four criminal cases against him. the judge who is overseeing the misclassified documents is signalling that she may push it off, because that trial is to occur in late may, and the judge talked about her concerns over that timing, and caitlkcaikkaten polantz is there with the latest. what are you hearing? >> the judge is trying to get the case moved off of his political election, and in florida they were in here arguing about the handling of the case of the documents in mar-a-lago and supposed to go in trial in may, and they said he is so busy and we are preparing for the other trial in washington, d.c., around what happened after the election in january 6th, and the attempts to hold on to the presidency, how could we possibly go to trial in judge, and judge aileen cannon here in florida did not say what she would do if she going to keep the date in the may trial in the mar-a-lago documents case, but she indicates that she totally understands where she is coming from, because she says, i am having a hard time to see where this work going to be accomplished realistically in the period of time preparing for trial as a defense team. we are waiting to see whether aileen cannon is going to move the trial date of the documents case, but then donald trump's team hours after that went to the d.c. case that is set to begin in may, and she asked the entire case to be put on hold, because they have things on the table around presidential immunity, and look at whether donald trump is immune from that case, and the prosecutors hit back quickly telling the judge here in florida, look at what they are doing, they are trying to manipulate the court, and so we have to see how the judges will respond now. >> great to see you, katelyn. >> and about to go on the three-hour tour there on gilligan's island. >> her alone. >> she is surfside there. and joined by the cnn senior legal analyst elie honig, and people will remember this judge, because she gave trump favorable rulings right after the fbi did that search is at mar-a-lago in august, i can't remember, 2021 at this point, and it was a long time ago. and so elie, talk to me, is this a trump judge looking favorably toward trump the or the reason to delay this? >> it could be or doing what the judges are supposed to do. judges do have to look out for the constitutional right that any defendant has to do to adequately prepare their defense, and it is important to understand the timing. and first is in mar-a-lago, and that is charged first and the judge set the trial date of may 2024, and later the other federal judge, judge chutkin undercut that and she set the earlier trial date of march 24th, so one trial in march and one in may, and the one in may says back-to-back, and he does have a right to prepare separately for the cases, because they are unrelate and completely unrelated facts and defenses, and so it seems that the florida's judge's case is if he is going to have enough time to protect his constitutional right for trial. >> can you move it or move it a lot? >> well, that is interesting, because the trial is currently for may and what is looming? the election. and doj observes this, that you don't want a politically charged trial especially one of two likely contenders here on the doorstep, and even if it were to may, and start it in august and now you are taking it into october or -- >> so if not may, it is going to be after the election. >> yes, if they postpone it, it is after november. >> if you were jack smith, which one do you want to go first if you were on that team. >> i think that the mar-a-lago case has the more cleaner evidence for the jury to understand, but the problem is the jury pool, because yo have to try it in the southern district of florida where he did quite well electorally, and half of the jury give or take are trump supporters, and so, the judge says to puts a side your biases, but it is difficult to do. and so on d.c., i love the d.c. jury pool, because he got 5% of the jury pool there in d.c. even though that case would be more difficult to understand. >> so does the first impact the second trial? >> if i had to understand the facts or the jury, give me the jury. the jury is the one who decides facts, so ultimately, i want the jury, so i think that there is a potential strategy by the doj, and let's get the d.c. trial done before the election, because you will have a better jury pool, and if you get that win, take it to the bank, and push it off after the election, because you are right, kate, if you try both cases and a conviction in one and not the other, i don't know how satisfying that is for the prosecutors. >> and this is a case that is months if not longer away at this point. and what is happening at this point is that donald trump jr. is on the stand or about to take the stand in the civil fraud case against his family and he is one of the defendants. so if you are a plaintiff, what is the roadmap? >> you want to get them on record. none of them to be clear is that none of them is going to buckle and admit this is a front. and none of them going to point the finger. none of them is going to throw each other under the bus. >> and really? >> there is none of them going to say, it is my father's fault, and the president is not going to say, it is not my father's fault. >> they are all going to point downstream, and donald jr. said this is not my deal, and we have accountants and lawyers and i am a big picture guy, and that theme is going to continue here as the plaintiffs here in the a.g.'s office the best you can do is to lock them into that, and then overcome it, and show documents or other witnesses that show that is not true. >> we will see what comes out of today. >> that is a strategy. >> and now, the first americans are getting out of gaza, and right now, people and ambulances can be seen moving through the rafah crossing and what was completely shut for weeks is now open. what this means for the war. plus, the israel-hamas war is spark pg protests and angry troubling divisions on so many college campuses, and how the schools are changing their approach to confront this very real free that we are seeing on institutions. and 50 years after breaking up, and the death of two beatles, the beatles have released a final song, and what it is and how it came together. we'll be right back. this morning, six more americans that we have now learned are now in egypt after finally being able to get out of gaza. the officials at the rafah border crossing are saying that as many as 400 citizens are on the list to evacuate next. large crowds of people are seen waiting at the processing centers, and this is a big deal. the second day in a row that the agreement seems to be holding as foreign nationals and injured palestinians are moving through. this deal brokered by qatar between israel, egypt and hamas. we will show you when american pediatrician barbara zen was able to get through the crossing yesterday, and she spoke to cnn about her experience. >> in the beginning we were in gaza city to move south because they were going to intense the bombing, and they had that initial interview, but then moving south, and there is no safe place for the gazian people, and we ended up for 2 1/2 weeks for basically a parking lot that was wardened off from the rest of the gazans who were staying there. and we were relatively lucky, but we were running out of food and water, also. >> now, the palestinian officials at the border of the crossing have said that as many as 404 nationals and others are expected to leave and a lot of numbers are being thrown around, but people are getting through, and 20 ambulances are lined up and ready to take the wounded to egyptian hospitals. let's go to capitol hill -- we will get back to israel in a moment, but right now, we are going to capitol hill where mike johnson is holding the first official weekly conference. >> we are not only unified, but energize and part of the reason is that our members were allowed to go home for the weekend and do some district work, and everyone met with constituents and most everyone got to go home for a couple of days. they came back with the glowing reports of the sentiment that is felt out there in the grass roots of the american people, and not just republicans, but all americans. what happened is that we went through three weeks of tumult here, and obviously l everybody watched it and you walked through the valley with us, and we came out stronger, and i am telling you that this group is ready to govern, and we have begun that in earnest. we sharing enduring core principles and i referenced it on the floor last week before i took my oath of office, and what we are standing for is the core principles of america, and i call them the seven core principles of american conservativism, but it is really america's principle ps, and individual freedom and limited government under the rule of law, fiscal strength, and free markets and human dignity and the ideals that have guided the nation since our founding, and when we anchor ourselves to those again, we will do right by the country. and we are the greatest nation in the world, and we are proud to say that and defend it and preserve those principles, and because of that, we have healthy debates even inside of our own conference like tactics like any family does, but in a perilous time at home and abroad, we are united and we are united in the clear objectives of reckless spending, and as right out of the blocks here, we will support our close friend and ally israel. let me explain a few of these thing, and then we will take questions. on appropriations, we with want the americans' voices to be heard here in washington, and that is what the republicans are here to be dedicated to. we want to restore office in the appropriations office in a way that is transparent, and we have accountability, and participation in all members of congress and moving quickly on the agenda. last week as mentioned after i was sworn in as speaker, we passed the appropriations bill for energy and water development. yesterday, we passed app appropriations bill for urban and housing and interior bills. one thing they all have in common, they are fiscally responsible. as conservatives we understand that savings are needed now more than ever, and you know that we have crossed terrible land macof 33.6 trillion in debt, and that is threatening our way of life, and the treasury said that we have to bor roeshg and the american people have to understand the scope of this, and we are going to borrow an additional $1.5 trillion to fund the government over the next six quarters and six months we have to borrow the money. this is not a sustainable trajectory, and what is happening is that the effect on the american people is devastating, and you have record high inflation that is causing real pain for hard-working american people, and leaving their futures uncertain, and the families are having to make tough and hard-working decisions because the cost of living is high, and the skyrocketing rates are turning american dream into mirage for millions of americans and we feel this acutely, and that is why the house republicans will not stop. we are on pace to have 8 of the 12 appropriations bills to be passed until fly out tomorrow. and we will be here until. so that is eight more appropriations billed passed for the democrats-led house, which is zero. so now, while the republicans are leading on appropriations, we are leading to support our cherished friend, and we are reaffirming the commitment to israel as their peril, and now as they are increasing their war, i have heard from democrats now to have a cease-fire, and let us be clear, and there is a cease-fire and it was before october 7th, and hamas broke it, and israelis spoke unspeakable acts of horror. israel does not need a cease-fire, it needs the allies to cease with the politics and have support now, and this is what we are doing. the house republicans will do that in short order give israel the assistance it needs to free the hostages and defend its country. and all of this to reduce the size of the government to pay for the friend and ally. we cannot waste any time getting israel the aid it needs, and we will work on that. we will take questions. >> you say that the gop is unified, is that to mean that you have been able to flip thomas massie and mtg? >> well, i have great questions with thomas and marjorie who are committed conservatives and i don't disagree with them on many principles and they understand the importance of getting the appropriations bills done. and steve scalise mentioned that we were in las vegas to fly overnight to be with the republican jewish coalition, and there was a gentleman there on the stage before us speaking of harrowing first accounts of a support worker in israel of the ing thises that he saw with his own two eyes, and i won't repeat them, because it is so, so jars to hear it. but what they are doing to small children and pregnant women and the rest, i spoke with prime minister netanyahu on the evening, and he used the terms the next day that he used in a public statement, and he said it is a battle of good and evil and light and darkness, and i could not agree more. there is no equivocation here. we have to stand with israel. the most hard-lined fiscal conservatives and those wh so if this. >> have you spoken to the democrateaking to them. >> and you have stressed the need to discuss the funding, and the president has threatened a vie toeshgs an veto, and would you put out a bill that does not include aid for ukraine. >> if you have talked to the pentagon officials, and they have testified on the armed services committee where i served until last week, they will say that the biggest threat is the national debt, and we have to address even with teheran and the rest, we have to assist our friend israel, but we have to keep our own house in order as well. people at home, and the american people understand that. at home, you have to balance the budget, and at home, you have the make tough decision, and washington should run the same way. and so we are here to change the environment, change the paradigm the way that washington thinks. if we continue on the trajectory that we are on, it is going to hurt our country terribly and hard-working americans more and seniors and the rest, a while we take care of the obligations, we will do it in a responsible manner, and i have made it clear to the president and myself and in the cordial meeting that we had, and i have made it clear to the colleagues and the senate republicans that i spoke at their luncheon yesterday, and every cabinet official, up and down the line, we will do it in a responsible manner, and this is important. >> mr. speaker. >> mr. speaker, can i get a time line, because chairman gohmert has suggested that his investigation is winding down, and do you feel that there is enough evidence for article of impeachment for that to play out, and have you already decided if there are -- >> well, you know that i'm a constitutional law attorney, and that is my back ground and this is very important, and i was called to serve on the impeachment team, and the democrats called it against president trump twice, and i decried it, because of the next to declaration of war, it is the heaviest power that we have, and it cannot be wielded for political purposes, and so i have been insis tant intellectually consistent in this and persistent that we have to follow due process, and we have follow the law. that means following obligation under the constitution, and doing the appropriate investigations at the right way and the right pace and follow the evidence where it leads and follow the truth where it leads, and today, i have not predetermined that, but i do believe that very soon we are coming to a point of decision on it, and we are in the impeachment inquiry phase which is an important step in that phase, and while many aimerican are anxious about this, and many republicans and democrats are anxious as well how this ends, what you seeing is a deliberate constitutional process, and this is how the founders envisioned this to do, and not the democrats and snap impeachments and sham impeachments and the rest. people are anxious, but i will say that chairman comer, and chairman smith in ways and means have done an extraordinary job very methodically and i would say outside of the scope of polytechspoll tech -- politics, and we will take the evidence where it leads. and that is what i have to say th about that. >> and now you have a secure detail now, and people want to take photos with you now, and very different and can you tell us what this week has been for you and your family. >> i am from louisiana so i describe it in football or hurricane metaphors. it is like a whirlwind and hurricane in a great way. to have a unanimous vote on the house floor is extraordinary and we needed to have that for the country. i am under no illusion that this team can pull together and unify for the country. it is a historic moment, and i don't believe i overstated this, and i believe i said it on the floor wednesday night, but i genuinely believe that the future of the republic may be decided in the next 12 to 14 months. it is a heavy time, and i'm an amateur historian myself, and you would be hard pressed to find a moment when there are so many challenges compounded upon us at the same time, and maybe the time of the civil war, and arguably even in the world wars and the great depression, we have not seen the collection of challenges upon us as we face right now, so we go into that very sober-minded, and the first weekend on the job has been a whirlwind. we have -- vi spent time with three heads of state, cabinet official, and you know, the secretaries of defense and the chairman of the joint chiefs, and individual members of the senate and all of them collectively and everyone, and my message has been the same to everyone. stay the course, and be steady and provide principled leadership and i commit it is going to happen in the house, and i am serious about it. >> mr. speaker -- >> you have some appointments to make as well whether to intel and the debt commission, and you are thinking of launching that this week, you said in a matter of days you want to launch, and have you thought about who you want to chair the commission, and who you want to appoint on intel as well? >> i have thought a lot about it, but we have great candidates for debt commission, and it is going to be bipartisan, and i don't know if you saw that but when we mentioned it on the floor, many of the democrat colleagues applauded that, because it is not a partisan issue, the debt is something that we all have to contend with, and it is not bipartisan, but bi-cameral. and i met with the senate republicans, and they were all there, and i mentioned it, and the idea was met with great enthusiasm, so we will have thoughtful people on both sides of the aisle in both chambers coming together to have productive discussions about that, and by the way, i believe it is an important principle that the speaker not predetermine the outcome or predict benchmarks of that, and it needs to be organic decision process that is made by thoughtful people who have a passion of the issue and expertise in the subject matter and we have an embarrassment of riches because we have a number of people who have expertise and many ideas on this, and the time has come for it. so when i said i want to do it immediately, i meant that and it is a top priority, and i will take one more. >> mr. speaker, and -- >> okay. let me get jake and one more. >> you are two weeks away from the government funding deadline and are you planning to go into january or when do you want to get to that? >> well, while everybody knows we are running out of time, and as quickly as we are moving the appropriations bills here, the senate is running behind, and so we may need another stop-gap funding measure, and my idea is to extend it to january 15th, to get us beyond the christmas rush and the things that typically jam us in the house. i think that there is some good arguments for that, but some of my colleagues have other ideas as well. one idea that was pitched this morning to be frank with you have a laddered cr, and i will unpack for you what that means in the coming days, but potentially that you would do a cr that extends individual pieces of the appropriations process, individual bills. we will see how that goes, and we can build consensus around it, but there a recognition that we have to complete the job, and we have run out of the clock with that, but we want to do what is right by the american people. stay tuned for more on that. jake? >> i want to nail you down on israel and ukraine. you will not pass the israel aid bill unless it is offset when it comes back from the senate? >> their decision they have to make on their own, but our decision is the reason we pulled it from the israel fund, and that is a pile of money, $66 billion sitting over there to refurbish and build up and hire new irs agents and the rest. if you have to look at the scope and the importance of our commitments right now, my belief is that the dire situation in israel is so important that it is more immediate than that, and if democrats in the senate or the house or anyone else want to argue that hiring more irs agents is more important than standing with israel in this moment, i am ready for that debate, but i did not attach it for political purposes, but again, we are trying to get back to the principle of fiscal responsibility, and that is the easiest and largest pile of money to work with, and i will continue to message this to the american people, and i suspect that they are with us. >> and on ukraine, how do you intend to handle that? >> ukraine is going to be coming in short order and coming next, and we want to pair border security with ukraine, because we can get bipartisan agreement on both of the matters. look, the american people are feeling strong about this, and i can tell you that the house republicans do, we have obligation, and we have things that we can and should do around the world, but we have to take care of our own house first, and as long as that border is wide open, we are opening ourselves open for great threat, and it is a matter of principle that we have to take care of the border in ukraine, we have to take care of america's border as well, and there is bipartisan support for that idea. thank you. >> thank you. all right. that is the first news conference the new speaker of the house mike johnson and a little news there, because he said vote on israel funding today and tied to irs cuts, and the president said he would vote and nonstarter in the senate, and they are reaching a decision for impeachment on president biden and he suggested that maybe there is a plan to avoid a shutdown which could happen. >> maybe. >> maybe. and we will go to manu raw jew, a -- manu raju, and tell us what you have heard? >> yes, one that is he still insisting that the package to fund israel to help with ukraine and the like needs to be essentially paid for and spending cuts to offset the price tag, and that is typically not done on the emergency funding measures and they are approve and approved quickly, and they are emergencies, and this speaker has taken a different approach, because this is expected to be approved by the house, and $14.3 billion and going after irs enforcement as a way to pay for it. there is a dispute that congressional budget office says it increases budget, and the republicans dispute that, and yet his philosophy is to ensure there is spending cuts with a package here, and a package to deal with israel and ukraine, and that is a nonstarter for the democrats and the white house and several republicans in the senate as well. so how will they go to reconcile that and still paz thpazs the i funding. and also for ukraine, he has been indicating more openness to it, but he says it must be paired with more border security measure, and there is going to be a change in immigration policies to tighten the immigration policies and add it to the issues is of ukraine aid, and that is a nonstarter for democrats and some conservative republicans will say that, and it is next on the agenda, and the house republicans and others will tie it together and this is a signal of a big fight that is still to come, and what about that he is planning to move the continuing resolution to january, but he is not likely to pursue spending cuts with the short term spending plan again setting up the stage for huge fights with democrats and laying out the vision for governing, but how is it going to be resolved with the issues overseas and at home. >> thank you, manu raju, thank you for that. >> laying down the markers. and now, we will head back to the new developments at the rafah border crossing in gaza, and we will take you back there in a second. we will be right back. we are grocery outlet and we are your bargain bliss market. what's bargain bliss? you know that feeling you get when you find the name brands you love but for way, way less? that's bargain bliss. it's grocery outlet's 20% off wine sale going on now through november 7th. we have hundreds of wines sure to pair with any gathering. so act now because this deal won't last long. stop in and save today. an official from the israeli military says now that they have raised the count of hostages taken from israel on october 7th to 242. 242 hostages, and this would now be the 27th day in captivity. this is as we are getting new details about the israeli ground operation moving into northern gaza on three fronts. our jeremy diamond is outside of israel with the city of gaza just over his shoulder in the city of sderot, and what are you seeing there, jeremy? >> what we are witnessing is very, very intense fighting in northeastern part of gaza, the city behind me, the gazan city of beit hanoun, and we have been hearing steady thud of shelling, and also, mortars close to the scity of beit hanoun. and even as the israeli forces are closing in on the gates of the city, and now israeli military chief of staff saying they are operating inside of gaza city for several days, it is saying that even as they are doing that, they are battling hamas in closer to some of the points where they made the initial entry into gaza on friday night, six days ago. part of that has to do with the tunnel system that hamas has below gaza. we were told that last night, israeli forces in northern gaza were ambushed by the hamas fightersed and they were making use of the tunnels to ambush them, and this is the kind of dangers that the israeli forces are encountering as they admit, so had vance the hamas fighters can sneak up behind them. so that is leading to of course, a number of civilian casualties as we saw yesterday and the day before in the strikes on the jabalya refugee camp. >> so, jeremy diamond is here in sderot, and the beit hanoun is right here. and now, joining us is the director of the center for a new security center. and we have heard from the chief of the id, if that the israeli military is in significant areas of gaza city, and this is the latest coming in, and you make an interesting comparison to what people thought would happen with the ground operation, and what is actually happening. flicking on a light switch when it is actually a dimmer switch. what are you hearing that they are doing it that way. >> that is right. kate, thank you very much. there are a few reasons that the idf is operating in this very deliberate steady gradual way. for one, operationally, it makes a lot of sense. they are moving deliberately to clear territorial long the lines of a counter insurgency campaign where we might have seen more c.t., counter terroris ism netws to take out abilities. they are seeking to take out hamas in the gaza strip, and they are going to hold territory as they government additionally, coming to the concerns of escalation, by moving in this way versus almost like the idf sargent blowing a whistle and thousands otrf troops coming ou over the top, it makes it harder for israeli advocates to identify a police politically positioned to escalate in a way that where they are injecting more uncertainty into the back proxy decision making. and so finally when it is coming to the hostage negotiations, it seems that hamas is using dribs and drabs of hostage releases to try to force stall of israel's advances. and israel can counter that by deliberately moving in the pressure and moving in step by step to put in counter pressure of hamas as they go. >> i wanted to ask you about the circumstances around the hostages. 242 hostages, and still 27 days into this war, and still being held where we belief is in gaza by hamas. how do you think that hamas is -- what are they trying to do, and how they are trying to use the hostages if you want to call them negotiations, and how does that impact israel's approach to this ground operation? >> yeah, well, it is very clear that hamas is using these hostages to try to restrain israel's action to keep them out of gaza city, and to ultimately hopefully permanently forestall israel's ground incursion and to keep themselves in power in gaza. in the meantime, they are using social media, and a lot of images of civilian casualties to try to press the international community and individuals to press israel into a premature cease-fire. that is their game. and for israel's part, they do largely assess that is what they are trying to do. it is reported that israeli chief was getting briefed on these tactics and that these are hamas tactics. >> and now, we will be hearing from the first public speech since the war, and if hezbollah goes in, does it effectively mean that the united states will be in another war in the middle east? >> that remains unclear. it is also unclear what hasan nasrallah may say in his speech tomorrow, and it is going to be loud and blustery and solidarity with hamas, but the level of activity in the northern border is indicating to me that hezbollah wants to do just enough to demonstrate solidarity with hamas without getting themselves embroiled in a war. hezbollah has a lot the lose here. lebanon is in a total state of chaos, and functionally a failed state. hezbollah has a lot to do with that, and the one good thing that in recent months that has happened in lebanon is the offshore gas deal. hezbollah had an option to try to scuttle it or take some credit for it, and they chose the latter. they understand that they are going to be held responsible if lebanon goes to a terrible war as a result of their actions. >> it is great to have you on with your expertise, jonathan. thank you. >> thank you, kate. john? >> it is a kind of music miracle a new song from the beatles. paul mccartney says it will be their last. a new song from the beatles just released 50 years after they broke up. paul mccartney says it is likely the last song. it came together with the help of ai, and it is fascinating whole thing. the song is "now and then" and including voice of john lennon and paul mccartney on bass and ringo starr on drum. ♪ and now and then ♪ ♪ if we must start again ♪ ♪ where we will know for sure ♪ ♪ that i will love you ♪ >> that is what i want more than 15 seconds. this is mark goodman from the '80s channel, and now, this is a john lennon solo song that he recorded his voice in 1978, and george harrison put together the guitar in 1995, and now, in the last year, ringo and paul put their stuff in it, but when you are listening to it, what is your vibe when you hear it? >> look, i'm a baby boomer, and i'm a baby boomer in the radio business, and so for me to be able to say here is a brand-new song from the beatles, that is really, really exciting. the technology used, incredible to be able to extricate john's voice from the really rough demo in the way that they did is great. but any beatles' fan, and even a casual beatles' fan how does this song stack up to their legacy? it is not the greatest. but i am thrilled to have it nonetheless. all four members on it. that is great thing. >> can you talk

it is the end, it is poignant and
