>> it's all of that and we need it. >> yeah. >> head start program for the coa coastal habitat in florida. >> jeff, thanks for hanging in there. you worked your shoulder and bicep muscles by holding up that device. >> i did. i was diving this morning, urgent care, but at least i get to spend some time with you. >> i'd so glad, too, and we've done a little bit of work on our biceps, too. >> i'm not injured for diving. >> i'm glad you're not. i can't wait to hear that story. i hope the best for your friend that was there. >> thanks for inspiring me to do that story. >> you're so sweet. thank you. you inspire us all the time. thank you. all right. hello again, everyone. thanks for joining me. we begin with a new deadline for donald trump's lawyers after the historic indictment against him on 2020 election interference. now the trump team has until monday, 5:00 p.m. eastern, to respond to a request for a protective record by special counsel jack smith. in a court filing last night, special counsel jack smith soug from sharing with trump copies of evidee deemed senti. smith wrote if trump, quoting now, were to begin issuing public posts using details or for example grand ju transcripts obtained in discovery, it could have a harmful, chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case, end quote. and smith flagged trump's online post friday as an example of trump's habit of speaking publicly. it says, these are trump's words, if you go after me, i'm coming after you. a trump spokesperson said the comment was the definition of political speech and had nothing to do with the case. let's turn now to elena in columbia, south carolina, where trump will be speaking later on today. what are you expecting to hear from the former president? >> well, fred, i think despite that court filing that you mentioned from special counsel jack smith and his team, donald trump is going to continue to talk about these charges. we heard him do that last night in alabama and i expect him to do that again here in south carolina. also like last night, donald trump will be speak to be a receptive crowd. to south carolina republicans and i think you can anticipate for him to frame these charges as election interference. the same playbook we've seen him use time and time again. when talking about his legal troubles. he's also likely going to argue that he's been targeted because he's doing so well in the polls. he mentioned that during his speech last night. let's take a listen. >> every time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls. we need one more indictment to close out this election. one more indictment and this election is closed out. nobody has even a chance. >> so as you can hear, fred, donald trump using that defiant rhetoric that we know he likes to use when talking publicly. and his team really does believe that talking about these charges is helping him politically. but of course, that is just with republican primary voters. there's still very much a question of if he's able to win the republican nomination, what this could mean for him in a general election, fred. >> thank you so much in columbia, south carolina. let's talk about all of this now with cnn political commentator, ana navarro and scott jennings. good to see you both. scott, you first. you heard donald trump last night. pointing out how his indictments seem to help his poll numbers and donations as well. so how does the republican party handle all of this? especially if he, especially if the party wants to win the white house? >> well, the republican party, there's still a way to go. there's a lot of highway left to travel in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina and other places. he is in the dominant position right now but i don't think this race is over. there's a lot more news for the republicans to digest. we just saw what happened last week. we've got stuff possibly probably coming up in georgia in the next couple of weeks. so republicans have a lot to think about because there's polling out there that indicates if he were to be convicted of a felony, a whole bunch of people wouldn't be able to vote for him. a long way to go. he's ahead, but you never know. >> and scott, i mean, you look like you're running for office because of the event where you are. so please explain. what's going on with all your fre fr fr friends there in kentucky? >> we're in fancy farm, kentucky. this is one of the best and oldest and most important political traditions in america. every politician in kentucky, including the candidates for governor and our senate republican leader, mitch mcconnell, will come out here and speak to mixed crowd of democrats and republicans. you have both parties. they come together at a church picnic. it's all for charity. this thing's been going on for over 100 years. this is miles away, by the way, from mayfield, kentucky where the tornados came through a couple of years ago. a great tradition here. the stump speaking starts in about an hour and you don't want to miss it. >> it was almost for a second seeming like you were in columbia, south carolina, where there's going to be a trump event given the kinds of flags going back and forth.ana, to yo. we're still more than a year out all signs point to a repeat ion. election. possibly biden versus trump. what do you see as possibly standing in the way of what seems to be the trajectory of a trump nomination? >> a minor miracle. some sort of -- that we don't know about. look, we have now gone through not one, not two, but three indictments and arraignments and it doesn't seem to be making any dent on donald trump's numbers. he's right. if anything, it's helping him. he has managed to portray himself as this christ like political figure that's sacrificing on behalf of everybody else and taking the hits for everybody else. they're coming after me so they don't come after you. and it seems to be resognating with the republican base and it has led to increased fund raising even though people have heard that the fund raising he's doing is going towards paying legal bills, they're still donating and it is what many others don't have. small donors that we keep time and time again. so i don't see much standing in the way. a rematch between biden and trump. >> scott, who do you think the audience is when the former president on his truth social would say if you're coming after me, i'm coming after you? paraphrasing. >> he's going to have to speak for himself on that. obviously when you're in the middle of a bunch of legal issues, he should be more careful. a lot of times, things he says gets him in more trouble than he needs to be in. he's a political candidate in the middle of a campaign. that kind of rhetoric's pretty common place. he's unique because he's running for office but he's also in the middle of an indictment. i'm sure his lawyers wish he'd be more careful. >> listen, i have been, i have been a target of donald trump's social media posts. when he was president. and it frankly lead to a bunch of whack jobs targeting. it led to me being threatened by people like the man who is now in jail for sending explosives through the mail. it led to death threats. to crazy things being mailed to my house. so i really think we as the law and order party, if we want to still call ourselves that as republicans, need to all of us condemn. because when donald trump is a threat on social media, it is real and it triggers real crazy people. and can do real harm. what he is clearly doing is not political speech in my view. th it's a clear threat and attempt at intimidation of the prosecutors of jack smith and must be condemned by all. >> scott, what are your concerns that it is not universally then condemned? we see trump supporters are essentially dismissing it or trying to describe it as simply political speech. >> when you go around criminalizing speech, it has a chilling effect. the bar has to be high for any kind of speech to be shutdown. we can condemn it. say it's not smart. say what we want about it but the idea that you would criminalize free speech or somehow restrict it, there's a reason it's the first amendment and he didn't target anyone specifically in the post. i personally think he needs to be far more careful than he is. >> do you think there's an inference? >> influence? >> inference. >> i have no idea. i infer nothing. only read the words on the screen. but i think democrats certainly and people who don't like donald trump have been trying to drive him out of the town square when it comes to free speech. i'm not surprised at their reaction to it today. again, i think he needs to be super careful. >> that happened on any given day. any random day. it happened on the day he went in for his arraignment. this is happening as a result election with his latest indictment. of course there's an inference. there's an inference that he's trying to indimtimidate the prosecutors and witnesses. when donald trump says i'm coming after you, he means it. you can ask anybody who he's come after in a primary election, which is not illegal. but when you are witness tampering, threatening the prosecutor -- >> you just said it. >> we have to -- >> he came after candidates. you just said it. >> yes. he's come after candidates. listen, coming after -- coming after prosecutors, that is illegal. and we live in a country where there have been federal justices and judges killed because of threats like this. we cannot continue. >> i agree with you. about the judges. we had a bunch of people that threatened supreme court justices, brett kavanaugh and others. no one seemed to care about that at the time either. >> it should be condemned when it's on the right and on the left. and it should certainly be condemned when it is somebody who has the bully pulpit and level of followers that trump has who he uses political speech with and it led to an insurrection on january 6th. >> we'll leave it there for now. glad you could both be with us. thank you so much. >> thanks. see you later. >> all right. now to this developing story over the black sea where russia drone. russia's ministry of defense says the drone made a u turn and no border violation occurred. the incident comes as ukraine launched two strikes on russian targets in the black sea. overnight, one of russia's largest oil tankers in the black sea was hit by a trdrone. russia say it is ship was not carrying oil by a ukrainian source claims its drone did make an impact on a ship that it says was carrying fuel for the russian military. the attack came not long after ukrainian c drones targeted a coastal naval base striking a russian warship. cnn's chief international security correspondent is in ukraine for us. what's the latest from there? >> reporter: that reference about the u.s. repo drone is really a constant part of russia's bid to fix the narrative towards them being at war with the u.s., with nato more broadly rather than reality of them being at war with ukraine that's being supplied and assisted by nato. but it's ukraine that's behind these more ingenious attacks it seems on russian shipping in the part of the black sea that frankly moscow would have thought was impregnable just a matter of weeks ago. so this morning's attack on a oil tanker that ukraine says was carrying fuel for the military, sig oil tanker, that's one example of damage. also occurred to a amphibious assault ship in a naval base just yesterday. on top of that, too, we have in the last week the bridge being hit. also it seems by a ukrainian drone as well. and so ukraine, while perhaps is not seeing the speed of progress it likes to against russian fortifications here in the zaporizhzhia region during the southern parts of its counteroffensive, it is certainly seeing success in parts of the black sea that russia would have simply thought was invulnerable to cranukraini attack. ukrainian officials sometimes not being direct saying yes, we did that about these attacks. other times calling these unidentified floating objects, but the damage is pretty clear. the amphibious ship hit yesterday while there could have been 100 people on board according to the ukrainians and there were 5,000 tons of fuel on board the tanker hit this morning. so this continues to be a threat that russia seems to be incapable of stopping although we have been hearing sirens across ukraine frankly in the past hours and reports of explosions in certain parts of ukraine. again, russian barrages there response to being hit close to home. >> thanks so much. all right. still to come. u.s. officials intensifying their crackdown on fentanyl traffickers. how they're now tracing crypto currency payments used by the most dangerous mexican drug cartels to buy fentanyl ingredients from chinese chemical companies. refi at sofi.com. you could d save thousands and get to your goals faster. sofi. get your money right. we got the house! you did! pods handles the driving. pack at your pace. store yourhings until you're ready. across town or across the country. pods, your personal movingnd storage team. why didn't we do this last year?

>> hey, fred. so doors opened a little over an hour ago. you can see just how packed this is. behind me, this is the merchandise area and the line to get a shirt is all the way backed around. so there's a lot of excitement. people are so looking forward to seeing the greatest of all time, simone biles, making her comeback. in fact, this is a sold out crowd. 7,200 seats here at the now se arena completely filled. now, this is the qualifying competition to move on to u.s. nationals then after that in the fall, over to the world championships and eventually, 2024 olympics. folks are going to be on the lookout for how fresh and sharp she looks, to see if she can shake off the spider webs there. this is her first time competing since two years ago where biles shocked the world pulling out of the tokyo olympics due to some mental stress. she got the twisties, a block gymnasts get, so a big problem. she's been supported since then for being an advocate for athlete mental health. but we're here for the fans, too. i want you guys to now listen to some tiny little fans. come on over here. who are here to support simone. this is elliot, talon, and lauren. what does your sign say? >> it says welcome back, simone. stick it, girls. >> i love it. tell me what you're most excited to see. >> simone biles. >> what do you love about her? >> because how good she is. >> that is an understatement. mom, i understand this was a surprise. >> yes, i bought tickets the second i found out simone was going to be coming. she just found out a couple weeks ago and she's been talking about it ever since. >> what do you think it is about simone that inspires people and her littlest fans? >> i think it's her ability to not give up. i think as a mom of an athlete, it's important she preaches, not only take care of your body, but your mind as well. which is something i tell them all the time. don't stop just because it's difficult. just take a reset and get back to it. >> guys, thank you so much and i hope you enjoy seeing her back in action. fred? >> i love it. of course, i mean, simone biles inspiring of all ages and sizes but they are lucky to get those tickets and i know they can't wait. very fun. thank you so much. to talk more about all this, let's bring in cnn sports analyst, christine brennan. it's so great when we get to talk about these uplifting moments in sport. simone biles, you know, has been so transparent about her journey. you know, folks are so excited now that she feels ready as the little girls say, to stick it again. how big of a moment is this in your view? >> fred, it really is one of the big steppingstones to as she said, potentially the paris olympic games, which are less than a year away now. hard to believe another olympics is coming so quickly. it was only two years in tokyo because of the pandemic pushing the games to 2021. so only a three-year break between olympics. any athlete would say instead of four years, sure, why not. keep going. and for simone though, what she's done that is so different and so necessary for her, she took a break. she got married. she has been living her life. she is having a great time. obviously. she shows up on her social media accounts and the fans are there as you've heard in the chicago suburbs. they're there waiting for her. it makes perfect sense to me. she's still, my goodness. she watered down her program to come back after the troubles with the twisties. watered down the program at the tokyo olympics as you'll recall and she still won a bronze medal. even with all the issues she was dealing with. that's how good she is. she knows it. she wants to see where she is now on the road to the paris olympics. >> her messaging has been really important, too. on sharing with everyone that you know, she wanted to take a mental break. doing that. and now talking about by way of her upcoming performance tonight, that that mental break helped. it was just last weekend, remember, christine, we were talking about brittney griner, who after her incredible experience being in russia and then being released and then getting back into the wnba and playing and then deciding she's going to take a couple games break at least to address her mental health. talk to us about how this has allowed simone biles, being very open about it. this has given allowance to a lot of high profile athletes to say wait a minute. i have to address my mental health. and it's okay if you, the public, doesn't like it. or doesn't support it. >> well, without a doubt. obviously they're barraged on social media. the criticism they get is unlike anything athletes got a generation ago. so if we hear someone say there's critics out there, they're still there. simone hears them. brittney griner hears them. michael phelps. naomi osaka. social media has added such an incredible and awful spotlight to these athletes in some ways. yes, they're taking over their entire lives. not just the physical part where they are achieving at great levels. the greatest of all time. but also every other part including their mental health. they feel they can do that and it's a wonderful message from role models. we heard from the mom saying she wants to tell her girls the same thing. take that break and reset. that's exactly the message biles has sent and same with brittney griner. >> so powerful. christine brennan, thank you so much. of course, we'll all be glued to our sets unless you're lucky enough to have tickets. thanks so much. all right. still to come. is it a bear or a human?

>> yes, i've seen that video and i'm very, very convinced. 100% sure that it is a sun bear. >> sue day wong is the founder of the sun bear conservation center. >> this is a male. we've got joe over here. >> and i think we can confidently say that that's a bear. not a human in a costume. >> yes. that is a bear. >> this forest enclosure shelters 44 rescued sun bears. >> it looks very similar to people when they stand up. >> sun bears are also an endangered species. they're tropical forest habitat across southeast asia is shrinking. what does the future look like for the sun bear as a species in the wild right now? >> if the forest is not big enough, if hunting and poaching still continue, the future is very bleak for the sun bear because they need large forests in order to survive. >> wong says there's an illegal market for sun bear claws, teeth, and organs used for traditional asian medicine. now the chinese viral video is giving the world's smallest bear a moment in the sun. in recent days, attendance surged 30% at the zoo. it doesn't look human at all when you see it in person, this man says. something to bear in mind. the next time you're sent a viral video. the director of the zoo in china, he said earlier this week that they got more than 20,000 visitors in a day and that was a big surge in interest due again to the controversy over the bear video. meanwhile, the director of the conservation center who i interviewed here, he's also hoping this will help wake up people and governments to this real existential threat facing the sun bear and that people will step in to try to help it before its natural habitat in southeast asia kdisappears completely. ivan watson, cnn, hong kong. >> thanks so much, everybody, for joining me today. the whole story with anderson cooper starts right now.
