t into the jail. palmer's lawyer telling cnn his client was unaware there were hacksaw blades and drill bits inside that meat though the prosecution said he failed to screen the meat through a metal detector violating prison policy. >> he was conned by joyce mitt chu chul /* chul mitchell. she duped him. >> reporter: officials say tools the guard gave to at least one of the prisoners, including a screwdriver and wrench. >> there's some information that he allowed them to go into the back of the cells in the catwalk area and fix the breakers that were there. that was to help the breaker, fix the breakers so they could use their hot plates to cook their food. >> reporter: that catwalk area matt and sweat's escape path. palmer telling investigators he supervised the prisoners doing the work and took the tools back before the end of his shift.

gene palmer posted $25,000 bail this morning and is due back in court today. one other note officials say he destroyed paintings given to him by richard matt. keep in mind, chris,s the it is not allowed for prison guards to accept gifts from prisoners. >> we'll get into all of this as the facts come out. now to alyson in south carolina this morning. alyson? >> reporter: chris i want to tell you about the remarkable scene we saw at the statehouse behind me yesterday. it was 98 degrees and there was a heat index, meaning how hot it felt it was 106. and yet thousands of people came here. they stood in an hour-long line that snaked all the way around this building all the way around the block. they were people of all types, old, young, black, white, they were standing shoulder to shoulder. they were sharing umbrellas to shield themselves from the

intensity. they were sharing bottled water. it was just a remarkable show of love and unity and respect for their friend and leader senator clementa pinckney. they said that emanuel ame church was a place of love and not violence. the parking lot full at emanuel ame church wednesday night, the bible study resuming where the massacre took place one week earlier. they said this territory belongs to god. earlier in the day thousands lined up in the sweltering heat as a horse-drawn casen carried reverend and state senator clementa pinckney's body back to the statehouse where he served from the age of 23 to now lie in state. >> senator pinckney was a good and kind man sensitive to the needs of others. >> reporter: many in south carolina waited the see if

governor nikki haley would you say use a temporary loophole to bring down the flag for the day, but her office released a statement saying quote, haley does not have the authority to remove the flag herself. meanwhile, alabama's republican governor did order the confederate flag removed from the state capitol grounds and officials in boise, idaho removed the mississippi flag from a display of all 50 in front of city hall. >> let's take it away. let's say we want nothing to do with it. >> reporter: all this as the son of one of the nine victims calls south carolina senator tim scott to share his hopeful vision. >> he said with great enthusiasm and emergency, a sense of excitement that this evil attack would lead to reconciliation restoration and unity in our nation. >> reporter: senator scott fighting back tears on the senate floor recounting that call. >> those were powerful words.

>> reporter: and the funeral services begin today for two of the victims. now i am joined to talk about this by two former governors of south carolina republican david beasley and democratic jim hodges. both governors had their own flag battles while in office. gentlemen, thank you very much for being here. so you both fought in confederate flag battle and failed on some level. what happened when you tried? >> well, both of us really went after the issue that had to be resolved and it takes time. these types of issues don't happen overnight. and when governor hodges came into office they were able to work together a compromise. at the time it was the most important thing to remove the confederate flag from the dome. >> reporter: yes, but when you were trying to take it down, do you think, in part you lost your seat because of this fight? >> well, i think some people say that but i'm probably the last person to give advice on that. some would say i'm the last

living casualty of the civil war. >> reporter: i know there's that thinking because it was such a political third rail to talk about the confederate flag in south carolina. and for you as well. you tried to remove it from the dome and you ended up during your time with where it is positioned now, right here in front of the statehouse. in some ways an even more prominent position. what happened when you tried to get it off the dome? >> well, two or three things we were trying to do. one was to get out of the dome and out of the government buildings because it was representative of the government at that time. along with the martin luther king holiday. our effort was to remove it to a a memorial that was not open there. and we were upset because we were not able to get that done. at the end of the day the bipart zap group said this is the first step to move it to the monument and we have the king holiday and the flag off the dome but we weren't able to get it completely removed.

>> reporter: governor beasley, do you believe the flag that flies here in front of the statehouse will some time this summer be taken down? >> well, that's why governor hodges and i are standing here together. the people of this state are coming together not out of hate but out of love. and when you saw what was demonstrated a week or two ago what happened in charleston south carolina when the family and friends of senator pinckney and those massacred, the total of the nine it was the most amazing display of love. and i think that flag is going to be put in the proper memorial in historical perspective where it should be out of love not out of hate. and i just have been encouraged governor hodges and i met with governor haley yesterday. >> reporter: tell us about what. what did she tell you in that meeting? >> i think we all have been moved by the love displayed. jesus said love your enemy. do unto others you would have done unto you. this is the message we want out

of south carolina. and the intensity, we were just talking about this the intensity of the debate today is nothing compared to what it was 15 years ago. but there's a fight still to be had. we are hoping that this will be resolved in the next two to three weeks. >> reporter: did governor haley when you met with her yesterday talk about why she chose not to take the flag down temporarily while senator pinckney's body lie in state? >> we didn't have discussion about that. the discuss was the end result moving the flag off the statehouse grounds. and i think david is right, we have a great deal of momentum now and certainly the tragic incidents of last week provided a sense of momentum at moving forward and trying to resolve this. south carolina is a much different state that it was 15 20 years ago. much more diverse. and i think people are rallying around this and seeing that we can make a dramatic gesture about how south carolina has changed. >> reporter: governor beasley, there's a legal loophole where

the flag can come down for cleaning or wear and tear. and some have said that for tomorrow for senator pinckney's funeral, when president obama and vice president joe biden are here. if you were governor would you take it down temporarily? >> it might be a good day to clean it. >> reporter: some are saying it looks awfully dirty today. so you would do that. and you as well? >> i would, absolutely. >> reporter: jim webb former u.s. senator, said on the flip side just saying that the flag is this symbol of sort of evil is also hurtful. there are people as you well know you both fought this battle who believe that it honors their ancestors. who believe it honors their ancestors' lives and sacrifice in the war. what do you say to those people today who don't want it to come down? >> well, i think when you study the history of when the flag was put up right here behind this picture where we are standing is the confederate memorial.

that was put up in the late 1800s. and you have at that service, i don't know how many living soldiers from the war and they did not put the flag up. the memorial is there for that purpose. the flag was put up in the 1960s. my father was in the house of representatives when it was put up. governor hollands was the governor at the time a democrat. we are all in agreement that this flag needs to be put in the proper place, but on the grounds of the capitol near the two sovereign flags that represent all the people of south carolina. let's do it out of love not out of hate. >> reporter: senator hodges do you believe that those people who believe the flag should fly are -- have a misunderstanding of what the flag represents? >> well, i think the flag is now owned by those who spew hate. when you look at what has gone on the flag is a symbol of that. it's divisive. we look at what this young man has done and if people revere that flag they can do it in their own home and in the

museums, but not on the ground of our state capitol. it's there to represent every citizen in the state. it's offensive to nip, it should be off the grounds. >> reporter: gentlemen, thank you so much for being here on "new day." your state is showing such warm hospitality. it is really beautiful to see. >> and it may be hot hospitality. >> reporter: yes, both. thank you so much gentlemen. let's get back to new york and makayla. all right. from there in south carolina we turn now to some headlines. and the terrible loss of life in pakistan a blistering heat wave in pakistan has killed over a thousand people. hospitals are packed. they are having to rely on volunteers and donors for ice, water and spare beds. temperatures have reached into the triple digits for several days now. in addition they are having to deal with hours' long power outages and very little running water. to make matters worse, that scorching heat is not likely to let up any time soon. five former advisors to president obama say the iran nuclear deal may not be a good one. the ad visors expressing

concerns in an open letter saying the white house may make too many concessions on the way to a deal. secretary of state john kerry says if the final outstanding issues between iran and the u.s. are not addressed, there will be no deal adding america does not negotiate in public. the boston marathon bomber is speaking out for the first time apologizing for the pain and suffering he's caused. dzhokhar tsarnaev did not face the victims but expressed remorse for the lives he took and the damage he created. though this apology is not sitting well with survivors, survivors like lynn julian found it to be nothing more than an act. >> he threw in an apology to the survivors that seemed insincere and just thrown in because he was supposed to. and then ended again with a law talking about leniency implying that we should now be lenient to him. >> 21-year-old tsarnaev made the

comments before officially being sentenced to death by execution. one of the things that really bothered people in his remarks was in the beginning he paraphrased being merciful if you want to receive mercy. and he said that's why i'm apologizing. that's not mercy. mercy would have been sparing the people he killed and maimed. >> it is interesting to hear that so many people wanted to hear from him. but like the one woman said, i almost wonder if they will be able to get the sound of his voice out of their hands now. >> it's always a mixed reaction. >> another chapter closed. we are taking a step into the information of where the murderers are. did corrections officer gene palmer help the murderers go free or is he caught up in joyce mitchell's web? that employee who is certained involved with the two escapees. we'll talk to a former coworker of palmer's, next.

was charged. joining us now, former sergeant jeff dumon. he is retired just last year from the clinton correctional facility. he knows the officers involved and knows protocol very well. jeff thank you for joining us. are you surprised about the arrest and do you think it is possible that the man you know would be involved in helping murderers escape from prison? >> good morning, chris. i am surprised at the arrest. but i know district attorney mr. wiley does a great job. so we'll see what comes of that. i don't believe, personally knowing gene as long as i have and his work ethic, that he would be involved in helping any of these convicts escape. >> you have never heard of him being too easy or on the inside with any of the bad guys? >> no absolutely not. he was very professional. always courteous, always did his

job. he was a 28-year veteran. his evaluations are outstanding. he was a model employee. >> do you know joyce mitchell? >> not very -- i mean i know of her, but being that she was a civilian that she was a civilian and i dealt with security staff, i didn't have a lot to do with her on a daily basis. >> any reputation? >> just -- not really. there was no connotations about anything with her, with inmates, anything like that. just that she was a tailor shop worker. we all knew lyle her husband that worked there. so there was never anything like that anything underlying or suspicions. >> you say that you don't even know if it is possible if these rumors of hanky-banky could have

been pulled off between the inmates. why? >> i say that because the shop she worked in i heard stories about a closet all that the tailor shop that she worked in is -- well, all the shops are basically concrete block walls all the way around. the format of the tailor shops is very open. so that the officer who sits up on a podium can observe all the inmates at one time. and the civilian staff sits next to him or they are out walking on the floor helping the inmates do whatever they need to do with tailoring of the clothes. so the officer observes that civilian at all times. he doesn't leave the shop. and any time that the inmates leave the shop they all leave together and he escorts them. so there really isn't a lot of time to be alone. >> so the idea that she was messing around or the idea that she was keeping them after everybody else left you don't

buy it? >> oh yeah. no. she is not -- they are not allowed to stay after the officer has to escort all of them. there's nobody left behind because we could have a hostage situation, we could have a rape we could have anything. no inmates are left behind. >> so the two main allegations, one, he passed the frozen meat with the blades in it without putting it through the metal detector. why would you pass the meat to the guys and not put it through the metal detector? >> well, that's something mr. palmer will have to answer for. i mean he is -- like i said he has been there for 28 years. this lady -- he works in that building so he obviously knows her a lot better than i do. or -- and the rest of the staff. so if your coworker comes to you and asks you to do something and it is simply something that may

be -- i am not there, but maybe she said hey, he left this behind. whatever the case may be mr. palmer may have just said oh okay not a problem and just walked it over. not even thinking about, hey, there could be tools for an escape in here. it's just -- it's not something that would cross your mind when a coworker asks you to do something. >> and you don't automatically think -- >> i feel horrible for the guy. >> and you don't automatically think to put everything through the metal detector? >> um not if it was -- not something as simple as that. you know for the most part everybody usually goes through there. but there are other ways to go through that officers have access to to go through the prison. the inmates have to go through it and they are all put through it. but the officers can go any which way they want. so gene may have just thought, hey, it's just hamburger, sausage, whatever it was and

just quickly brought it over. i feel horrible for the guy. >> one, he gave them tools to help them work on some fuse box near where they were staying. do you think that that was something that is not ordinarily done? >> the fuse boxes that are in the back of the cells, some of them fortunately some of them have been moved to the front of the companies where the officers have access to them. this block has them -- one fuse box on the back of each cell. so if he allowed them to do that, the inmates are trained by the state to work on everything. so it really wouldn't be a big deal. however, they should not have been allowed to have possession of those tools for any length of time. go back there, fix the fuse and come back out. it takes maybe a minute and a half at the most to go back and reset the fuse just like you would a fuse box at home and

come off. so i'm not really sure of the whole story with that. >> last question is it seems like there was a lacksody going on here. it seems like the convicts were having too much of an intimacy here and i mean in the repoire. do you mean there should be a tighter reign on the convicts or is that an exaggeration? >> no chris, i think you're right. i hope that it does come out that there needs to be a tighter reign. the state's position is not that way. they want them out of their cells. they want them doing things. the only way to do that is having interaction with those civilian employees. the infrastructure of the facility itself as far as the

cat walks and so on they use inmate labor to fix that because they don't want to pay a civilian or somebody else to come in and do that each and every time a fuse blows or something like that. so there needs to be a tighter reign, absolutely. those convicts should not be taught the electrical. they shouldn't be taught the infrastructure of the facility even if it is to fix a simple pipe. it should be a civilian that's there, they should be the ones that fix it not inmates. they should have access to all these tools. if they want to sew clothing together that's fine. but come on you have to pull back a little bit. actually treat them -- you have murderers, rapists and child molesters and are worried about them learning a trade? come on, that's too much. >> jeff dumas, thank you for that perspective on gene and what is going on in the clinton facility. appreciate it. >> thank you, chris. have a good day. >> you, too. not in my house. president obama taking on a heckler at the white house. john king will have the president's reaction inside

a big headline coming out this morning, a second prison worker is facing charges. his name is gene palmer. his lawyers say gene's only mistake is trusting mitchell. they believe richard matt and david sweat may have taken weapons from the cabin where they stayed. the search enters its 20th day. and the church shooting suspect dylann roof is expected to face federal hate crime charges. thousands, meanwhile, are paying their respects to pass to clementa pinckney wednesday, and the bible study resumed in the same room where the massacre took place. all eyes on the supreme court today. the justices are issued to schedule key decisions. there are seven cases left on the docket including potential

blockbuster rulings including same sex marriage and obamacare. the court is expected to release opinions on friday and next week as well. all right. a lot of political discussions today. we'll go to inside politics with mr. john king on this -- wow, it's friday eve. >> friday eve. i woke up yesterday thinking it was thursday but today is actually thursday. >> it is actually thursday today. >> we have adjusted to friday eve. that's what we'll call it makayla. we'll go inside politics. with me to share the reporting on the inside lisa lara and in a statement last night, donald trump says i'm personally offended by the media's comments regard ing regarding mexico and its great people. he says he have distorted his comments. we report you decide. >> they are bringing drugs, they

are bringing crime, they are rapists and some, i assume are good people. but i speak to border guards and they tell us what we're getting. and it only makes common sense. it only makes common sense. they're sending us not the right people. >> i'm not sure what we distorted, him saying they are bringing drugs, they are bringing crime, they are rapists. some i assume are good people. and on the way in thanks to your tip, this is obviously hurting his business interests in mexico and they are now selling pinatas of the donald. a very lifelike look. the artist should be applauded. i'm sorry, i don't think we owe him an apology. >> i don't think we do either. >> look, he's trying to have it both ways and trying to be cute not say inging i didn't mean mexicans. what your words say matter more

than what they do in your reality show. if you watch the spanish language coverage of this it has been devastating, not only for him but for the gop in general. and if you are anyone else who is running in this race right now, you want him gone as quickly as possible. it is astounding that he thinks now that he can somehow find a way to reverse this and that they will take him seriously. >> now we can say, let's go to the videotape when he says these things. but we'll look at the national fox news poll out, jeb bush 15. then donald trump at 11%. the top ten in the national polls are making the debate on fox news the cutoff is not until august 4th. but right now the donald is at 11%, like him or not, support him or not, he's a factor in the debates because he's a reality tv show. he's a showman. >> he'll be saying things the

republicans don't want said. the statements to put the him in a difficult position but it could provide a moment of leadership for a candidate willing to stand up to say, no, i don't agree with this. you could see it on the debate stage, mr. trump, you're wrong. i also believe the numbers tell us there's an instinct to dismiss him. he does have a following in the republican party that wants to hear this sort of thing. >> in addition to that trump is second place in polling nationally. some voters are looking for something outside of the normal. the other numbers in the poll back to the point does donald trump have staying power, this is all americans. 77% believe he's a sideshow. the 18% believe he's a serious candidate. clearly he does have underlying image issues that will come to

the floor. but at the moment he's been somewhat popular. we'll move on to a two-term governor who jumped into the race yesterday, bobby jindal of louisiana. when he was in the louisiana house of representatives, he was a rising star in the republican party. a big policy guy for conservatives in the house and the governor of louisiana for two terms. he's been running around the country the last two years doing everything you have to do to run for president but getting zero traction so far. in this announcement speech he took issue with president obama and specifically hillary clinton saying they want to divide americans. >> i'm sick and tired of people dividing americans. and i am done with all this talk about hyphenated americans. we are not indian-americans african-americans, irish-americans, rich americans or poor americans, we are all americans. >> why is he a blip? >> it's an amazing story, the bobby jindal story. he was a rising story in the republican party until his

ill-fated 2009 state of the union response. since then he's had a lot of trouble getting traction. it goes to show you how quickly fortunes change in politics and that's weighing heavily on the mind of a lot of republicans as they look at this field. they see it is wide open and don't want to miss their shot. those numbers include bobby jindal apparently. >> i don't think he would be if he was willing to be a hyphenated americans. i think there's something interesting that he refuses to embrace his indian-american culture. if we were to in this day and gauge, given what the gop is trying to do he could be a rock star. >> it may help him because of their need to diversify. >> yeah. it's surreal he refuses to acknowledge that. >> interesting point. there's some conversations, we don't believe the votes are there, but some say charleston with the reconsideration of background checks here in washington it looks like the votes aren't there. will there be new discussions about gun laws around the country in most states? doubt it. scott walker has not officially announced for president, but he did something to surprise you. he relaxed gun control law.

there was a 48-hour waiting period background check in wisconsin. that's one of the things scott walker signed away saying this event was scheduled before charleston. it was on the books to sign this legislation and he says to cancel or delay it would have sent the wrong signal. >> if we pulled back on this i think it would have given people the erroneous opinion that what we signed into law today had anything to do with what happened in charleston. >> not afraid to standout on this issue, obviously. a lot of republicans say if you look at the national map, not manhattan or washington, d.c. that they are in a safe position on this. >> yeah i think the focus on the confederate flag shows the importance of guns. republicans recognize that's going to happen with the flag and not going to happen with guns. >> both of the bills are on the nra wish list specifically they want to allow enough retired officers carry guns in the schools. that was the proposal out of the sandy hook shooting.

he's been working on it for a while. it will only give him an a-plus-plus rating. it was just odd timing. >> odd timing but conservatives awe plaud it at a time when the left demands gun control in one blog this morning that he's willing to give the middle finger that was said to the left at the moment. scott walker getting positive buzz in the conservative analysis. back to south carolina. you invite someone into your house and are serving them food and say, hey, come in to have a few free drinks. the last thing you expect is to get heckled, right? we have seen president obama get heckled in public. free speech comes with the territory, if you will. but because the president is at home in his house, he gets a tad annoyed. >> hold on a second. okay. you know what? no no no no no no. listen you're in my house. no -- shame on you. you shouldn't be doing this.

as a general rule i am just fine with a few hecklers. but not when i'm up in the house. because my attitude is, if you're eating the hors d'oeuvres, you know what i'm saying? okay. and drinking the booze. i know that's right. >> secret service, not the vice president, for the record did escort the heckler off the premises alyson. >> being a vice president, he looked to be immused by what the president was saying there. all right, john thank you so much for showing us that. see you tomorrow john. so i am here in columbia south carolina where there are lots of opinions on the confederate flag in the wake of the charleston massacre.

the confederate flag still flies here at the capitol building in south carolina. there's a sign here that says honk if you want to bring down the flag. but supporters say it's about keeping southern heritage and our next guest knows all about that proud heritage. brady brown, the longest representative currently serving. his great grandfather was a confederate soldier to rejoin the union after the civil war. great to have you here representative. >> good morning, alyson. good to have you in south carolina. >> reporter: thank you. you told me to call you brady, so i will do that. your great grandfather was a confederate soldier. so how do you feel about this flag? is it a symbol of -- is it a proud symbol or hateful symbol? >> do i have heritage? yes. my mother left all of her

confederate memorabilia to her granddaddy whose name was thomas p. evans. he joined the army at age 16. stayed until he was 20. in fact it is just ironic june 23rd the day before yesterday, would have been 150 years or was 150 years that he took the pledge to support the union signed by a union army general in hershaw, township in south carolina. >> reporter: and you brought that document. you brought it to the statehouse yesterday. why was that important to you? >> well, with all the heritage and the love of my mom and what she stood for and what she believed in, i know that she would have me. i know that she would have me take the flag down. >> reporter: the right thing to do is to take it down. you and your mother would feel the same way. and why? what do you say to people who say that their ancestors died

fighting for the confederacy and believe it represents a proud heritage for them? >> ask senator clementa i worked with him. i know for this state to heal. we spoke of the hospitality. and this will begin a process of healing for a lot of people. and i just know it's the best thing to do. and in the long term it will be great for our state. >> governor nikki lahaley also believes it's time to bring the flag down and would like to see her do that for the funeral tomorrow. >> i believe she should. >> reporter: she said she doesn't have the moral authority and didn't want to expose herself to this. >> it does need to be cleaned. >> reporter: we have heard a lot of people say this flag needs to be cleaned. and there's a legal loophole that it can come down for cleaning. >> i also heard two former governors say this on your show. >> reporter: that's right. so you believe that tomorrow she

should exercise that legal loophole. >> if i were her, i would. if i were governor i would. >> reporter: wasn't the scene here yesterday just remarkable? >> it was just -- the outpouring of love compassion caring for one another, i was touched. i was here when the body was here. and i'm happy to have been here under the circumstances, i'll never forget it. i'll be able to tell me grandchildren about it hopefully. >> reporter: what i saw was black, white, old, young, people came dressed as though they were dressed for church. it was a hundred degrees here yesterday as they stood outside in this line for an hour. >> the procession about south carolina is wrong, the perception of south carolina is wrong. we have warm wonderful people here. >> reporter: i saw that on full display yesterday.

and no one was talking about the flag. is it possible we are too focused and lawmakers are too focused on that one symbol and not the underlying roots of what went wrong here? >> well, the lawmakers who are adamant about giving it up is basically constituent based that wants them to do that. my constituent base is mixed, but again, i realize it and think for the good of this state and for the people that it's time that we put it in the museum. >> reporter: thank you so much for being on "new day." >> my pleasure to be here with you. >> reporter: mine as well. we'll see what happens. >> have a great day. god bless you. >> reporter: you, too. thank you so much. please tweet us. use the #newdaycnn or post your comment on facebook.com. i would love to read your comments on the flag and everybody else. >> great conversation there. well, tonight cnn is taking a trip back to the '70s. do you remember this iconic and powerful image from vietnam?
