not walking it back at all everything i said i stand by >> what was it for those of us that have not won a medal what went wrong? >> teams make mistakes we understand that what happened is that we have not had success in 20 years and it comes because we don't have a system designed for it >> whose fault is that >> that is where i am going. the federation sets up the team, coaches and the system they are failing the athletes. that's why i was so emotional and angry. they work their whole lives, run fast and make the team and you put them in a position impossible to be successful. you have to look at what's best for the athlete. all the time we let politics get in and people from the outside get in i want to make sure we pay attention to this so we don't have this problem anymore. i hope the statement that i made and the honesty i talked about

everyone has it so it is all the same coaches and athletes can be interchangeable and give the athletes a voice when they see something wrong, they run they say i'm not comfortable right now, they don't have thate >> are these athletes upset? what have you heard? >> the athletes are frustrated i talked to one of the athletes. he is frustrated same see, he's been on multiple teams. >> specifically why is he frustrated which part >> they are frustrated because it is like the same wrong, incorrect system and making the same mistakes like why don't we change the system and have people help us set it up so we have a chance to do it you know, the united states is the best tea my passion is support the athletes lives you know, the united states is the best team in the world in the relay. no question. we are not even getting to the

starting line. >> is carl lewis available to help them? >> i coach at the university of houston. >> yeah. go cougars >> that is not something i am seeking at all i don't want to sound political. i coach college athletes we have success. i hope they can get a system when we pass them off to the next level they will be able to win championships for team usa because that is what i want. >> carl lewis, honor and great to see you thank you so much. >> thank you the department of homeland security is recruiting for the war on cyber crime and it's turning to some pretty heavy hitters. new charges against the person accused of killing a tiktok star and his date inside a movie theater. a jailhouse interview. the suspect detailing why he pulled the trigger and the vaccination rates
