>> now police say she committed suicide. her family has their doubts. they are demanding an independent autopsy. ed is live in hempstead, texas with all the developments. good morning, ed. >> reporter: good morning, alisyn. the family of sandra bland and investigators looking at the video to see if it puts together clues or information as to why sandra bland ended up dead here in texas. newly released dashcam video of 28-year-old sandra bland's death is raising questions about what really took place three days before she was found dead in this texas jail cell. for starters the 52-minute video of the traffic stop and arrest has several discrepancies. >> get out of the car! >> don't touch me. >> reporter: watch as the white vehicle vanishes from the road. and this moment where a tow truck driver walks away and
3:01 am
quickly reappears at the truck's door, immediately following a scene report. the audio is uninterrupted. all of this casting doubt that the video reflects a continuous account of the heated encounter with texas state trooper. >> i'm going to drag you out of here. >> you gonna drag me out of my own car. >> get out of the car! get out, now! get out of the car! >> for failure to signal? >> get over there. >> the trooper held bland to the ground. dashcam caught what she was saying. >> you a real man not. you gonna slam me. i got epilepsy. >> reporter: authorities say bland later committed suicide in her cell. this is a look inside where she spent her final hours. the trooper failed to comply with the department standards
3:02 am
for professionalism. he's been pulled off duty. police are looking into bland's death as a murder. chris, this morning, we have calls out to the department of public safety here in texas. we reached out to them late last night after we notice the discrepancy in the video. they will be looking into that to provide an explanation. we have not heard from texas dps officials to say what was wrong with the video. you can see several moments in that nearly hour long video shows glitches in the images. we are trying to figure out if that was deliberate or an equipment malfunction. we will continue to monitor that throughout the day. >> it's the right question. we have to know what their explanation is. stay on it. let us know how we can help you with that. let's bring in danny, an analyst.
3:03 am
thanks to both of you for short notice on this. here is the first one. basically, the concern is with this that the tow truck operator who you will see. we highlight him there. it jumped he moves, reappears and comes back. underneath this video, which seems to be altered somehow, the audio is consistent which draws two inferences. one, the video changed because the audio is consistent or two, were they both changed to accommodate a different point of reference? what is your take to start off with? >> yeah chris, i started to see that last night. the first person that tweeted that was ava, the director of the movie "selma." she's editor of video. she knows when footage has been edited. i went back again and watched the entirety of the video. it is very obvious it was
3:04 am
edited. to term if the audio was edited i went back again and again to see if there was audio that was deleted to match up with the video. it could have been the slightest of a comment that could have been crucial to the case. i don't know that we can say the audio was not edits as well because we don't know if that consistency is really consistent. there were breaks in what he was saying. >> danny, what we understand was happening in the audio at the time there was a video glitch or edit the officer was talking to his supervisor. did you hear anything that was damming or would have been damming that required an audio edit? >> the thing is whether or not there's an audio edit to begin with and video edit. the thing that strikes me about the video is in a relatively short amount of time we defense attorneys have gone from lousy
3:05 am
to nonexistent traffic stops to good video. the real issue is what is the chain of custody of the audio and video component after this stopped. if somebody went in there and altered the data and audio, if it's digitally stored that can be discovered and, oh what a risk a supervisor takes to change that. i watched the video and i saw the jump. i will say in say, some closed circuit tv video i have seen in the past you see that kind of jump. if it is an edit -- >> this isn't a jump that's synchronized that goes from 8:18 to 8:17 to 8:26. i want to get through the next one. i want to talk about the stop too. there are plenty of issues beyond the video. this one, again, now, the police will say sandra wasn't on the scene right now, so what
3:06 am
difference does it make. this car reappears, makes a left turn comes back again. there it is again. same thing happens and it disappears again. there was another piece of video that has a group of cars like almost in fred flintstones fashion, they drive past and drive past again. obviously, something is amiss here. the question is why. mo the police may well say, she's not here anymore. she's been taken off the scene. this is a tow truck thing. the audio is there. you hear the guy explaining it. much to do about nothing. >> i disagree. like alisyn said prior, he was talking to his supervisor, explainnining what happened. he has a different version than i saw. he says she was escalating and he says i tried to deescalate. at no point did he try to
3:07 am
deescalate the situation? he escalated it. that audio is very important whether she's in the video or not to match up what he was saying and relaying the story to the supervisor. >> mo we have that moment of escalation. watch this. >> i'm going to yank you out of here. >> you gonna yank me out of my car? >> get out! get out of the car, now. >> why am i being apprehended? >> get out of the car! i'm going to drag you out of here. >> you gonna drag me out of my own car? >> get out of the car! i'm going to light you up. >> wow. wow. >> that's the moment mo was talking about where you hear him escalating and her. he says get out of the car, i will light you up. does someone who was pulled over have the right to ask why am i being apprehended? do they have to give the driver
3:08 am
a reason? >> oh, they can ask. it's more than that. the law that jumps out ott me is the fact that most people don't realize this. if this is a lawful traffic stop police can order any driver out of the car. that is the sticking point. the other thing is that police can continue their investigation even after they have given the warning and say have a nice day. i can't tell you how many defendants give up their right to privacy when they allow an officer to search the trunk when they were free to leave. this is a classic escalation of an encounter. >> you are telling two different things. i'm not saying you are being deceptive. >> no i'm not. >> we know what people are going to say. they are going to say this was unusual force by the officer or they are going to say, he was ordering her out of the car and she didn't comply. it's unlawful signal. she didn't signal. he pulls her over.
3:09 am
whether she was signaling or not. that eels the stop. if the officer says get out of the car, legally, do you have to even if it's for a lane change? >> yes, you do. and even for a traffic stop. people will be shocked. it feels injust but, yes, under a supreme court case if the traffic stop is lawful may order not only the driver but a later case passengers out of the car. >> okay. >> so, manyo, when the cop says get out of the car and she's asking questions questions, what is the result going to be? >> the officer is out of control. some people are going to be just okay. some are going to be agitated. that's not an anomaly for her to be agitated. what he did not do is use professional training to deescalate the situation. when he asked her to put her cigarette out, she didn't want to. i understand that.
3:10 am
she's fed ul with the system of what's going on. she has a right to be. he did not, at that point, have to start talking to her like a child. get out! right now. he is the one that took her agitation to another level and then abused his power in the rest of the arrest. >> danny, she says i'm in my own car, why do i have to put out hi cigarette. whatever an officer tells you to do must you do it? >> no. >> it's heart breaking but most defense attorneys say, as unfair as it is comply with it. we'll fight the bust later. that's why this is heart breaking to watch. i do not know the law on ordering a driver to put out their cigarette. if the officer's theory in this case we are going to scrutinize it in the days and weeks to come. if the theory was the stop was completed, i was giving her a warning, then telling her to put out her cigarette was trying to
3:11 am
engage her and trying to get her riled up. >> they said he violated their training protocols on how to do a stop. at least that's not an open question here as to whether or not he was doing the right thing in his manner at least at this point. >> i'm really bothered by the narrative that whatever a police officer tells you to do, you are supposed to do. if he tells me to take my clothes off and get in the back of a car, i know that's extreme, i'm not going to do that. >> it is extreme. think about the cigarette and getting out of the car. >> guys we have so much to talk about. mo danny, thank you. we'll talk more about this. we know this is a dialogue and everything it brings up. let's keep it as a discussion. tweet us. post your comment on facebook. go to facebook.com/newday. he's at it again, donald
3:12 am
trump. senator lindsey graham hosting a rally, trump called him an idiot and read autohis private number asking them to call it. jeff is here with the very latest on the war of words. hi jeff. >> good morning, alisyn. the republican race seems like a free for all or a playground brawl. donald trump is off the campaign trail today, but still at the center of the conversation whether some republicans like it or not. >> it's been a very interesting three weeks, i will tell you. >> reporter: that's a donald trump size understatement. >> they didn't like the way, i'm a little loud. i'm a little too strong. they don't like it. >> reporter: after rocketing to the top of the gop field, trump is trying to stay there. he's fighting republicans who fear he will hurt the parties chances to win back the white house.
3:13 am
>> every time i turn around i have some guy that is hitting me. >> reporter: this morning, a new poll shows concerns of republican leaders could be justified. in three key election battlegrounds, colorado iowa and virginia nearly 6-10 voters hold unfavorable views of trump. for now, his rhetoric is resinating with republican primary voters. the war of words seemed to start when lindsey graham said this to cnn. >> he's become a jackass. >> i watch him on television. he's a jackass. >> trump retaliated by giving out graham's personal cell number. >> he gave me the number and i found the card. i wrote the number down. i don't know if it's right. let's try it. 202 -- >> jeb bush supported trump supporters. what am i supposed to call him, donald? i'm going to call mim mr. trump.
3:14 am
if we embrace this language we will never win. >> reporter: there are new signs trump is getting the scrutiny of a front-runner. opposing campaigns are pouring through, including many from cnn like this. >> a democrat or republican? >> well you'd be shocked if i said that in many cases i identify more as a democrat. it seems that the economy does better under the democrats than the republicans. >> reporter: now, it's those old view that is could come back to haunt trump. we are used to hearing him say a lot other the years. many republican voters are hearing about the political side of trump for the first time. they may be surprised to know he spoke to favorably about democrats. michaela? >> you can spend a lot of time going through what he had to say. interesting perspective. u.s. officials confirming the death of a top leader al qaeda group in an air strike in
3:15 am
syria. cnn pentagon correspondent, barbara starr has more on who he is. >> good morning. this is someone the pentagon wanted to get badly, had been chasing down for months. where did this happen? northern syria. this is the group os stronghold. it's an offshoot of al qaeda. it was july 8 when all of this went down. the pentagon just confirming the death yesterday. a top al qaeda operative, he was killed by a drone, a missile struck as he was stravltraveling in a car in northern syria. it say as good deal about u.s. intelligence. why did they want to get him so bad? the group has been flotting external attacks outside syria
3:16 am
against the united states. they have bomb making techniques techniques. the concern is they would try to get bombs on airplanes. how important is this guy? he was one of the few al qaeda operatives that had advanced warning of the 9/11 attacks. how they knew he was in the car at that point and time when they were overhead with a drone and fired against him. it may be a message to isis in northern syria. the u.s. may not have troops on the groundings but they have eyes and ears and intelligence. prosecutors claim this 24-year-old was planning a hit and run style attack where he'd run over an american service member with a car and then kill them with a knife. prosecutors arrested the man's uncle, claiming they planned to join isis terrorists. more details about the
3:17 am
chattanooga gunman. %-pthe4-year-oldshowedan interest in a prominent recruiter for al qaeda. we are live in chattanooga with the latest. what are investigators finding? >> reporter: well many details about abdulzeez. all the signs increasingly seem to be pointing to a potential motive of being terrorism. the fbi found internet searches on his smartphone where he does research in the days before the shooting questioning whether someone could use martyrdom. investigators also found references to anwr an al qaeda leader who had recent attacks on the "charlie hebdo" and the boston marathon. they are focusing on the 42 to 78 hours before the attack putting together a time line
3:18 am
interviewing everyone that may have been in contact with him. this comes as we learn abdulzeez's uncle is being held in question in jordon. that's where he lived. he's being held by authorities there. this does not mean there's information that suggests he was doing anything wrong but this adds one more layer to the complex puzzle investigators are trying to solve. >> we will dig deeper later in the show. thank you for that. >> president obama joining jon stewart for the last time. stewart tackling the mideast, asking the president, point-blank, whose side we are on in iran. >> this is an adversary. they are antismetic. they sponsor hezbollah. >> sounds like a good partner for peace. >> as has been said frequently you don't make peace with your friends. >> the interview ended up with
3:19 am
laughs. stewart bringing up the prospect of a trump presidency. >> if people are engaged, eventually the political system responds despite the money and the lobbyists. >> i guess what you would say is after seven years, is that the advice that you then bequeef to future president trump? >> well um i'm sure the republicans are enjoying mr. trump's dominance -- >> anything that makes them look less crazy. [ laughter ] >> jon stewart signs off august 6th. that was the last visit from the president. >> they are laughing about it but the gop candidates aren't. >> you think there's talks going on?
3:20 am
>> look politics is ugly but things are getting ugly in a whole new way in the republican race. >> it's hard to believe it could get ugly in a whole new way. i have been doing this a while. >> open your heart to the promise of tomorrow. trump calls graham an idiot giving out his cell phone number. graham calls him a jackass. how is any of this good for you? we weigh in on trump and the future of this election. come on. ♪ every auto insurance policy has a number. but not every insurance company

the samsung galaxy s6 and s6 edge with a wide-angle and high-res selfie camera. hot off the presses, brand-new polls to tell you about with interesting findings. some of these polls show hillary clinton facing major challenges against her republican opponents in very key primary states. the numbers are looking not good in some regards for the candidate donald trump. let's talk about all that and bring in cnn senior washington correspondent jeff as well as cnn senior political reporter nia henderson. good to see you this morning. let's mix it up. let's start with hillary clinton
3:25 am
instead of donald trump. so here is hillary clinton's favoribility match ups. this is in iowa obviously, the key primary state. she is losing to marco rubio, jeb bush and scott walker as you can see. how do you explain what is going on here? >> if you look at the numbers, they came out at 6:00 a.m. she is doing terribly in terms of being honest and trustworthy and low marks in believing she cares about their issues. this has been a problem, i think, ongoing for her. you talk to folks in the campaign and they say, well the campaign hasn't really started yet and the numbers being trust worthy. the others will take on water as well as the campaign heats up and they face a barrage of negative ads. this is a turn of events for her and we have seen a steady slide in terms of poll numbers. they have believed along, they don't have to engage with the
3:26 am
press in a public way and give the kind of interviews they gave to brianna keeler. they said they want to change things around and get out more. the polls send out a warning signal. >> it is interesting after giving that interview, the numbers didn't change in a meaningful way. before we go on to how trump is getting punched in the nose what do you think of the fact trustworthiness looms large for hillary clinton and that is the strength that a candidate named biden would have? >> it's really interesting. this is a place where she's campaigned the most iowa of course. she has an apparatus there. they are reaching out to activists and voters have trust and credibility questions. certainly, it leaves open the possibility. bernie sanders on one side. a lot of liberals like what he is saying. there's a hunger out there for someone else.
3:27 am
chris, we have no reason to believe joe biden or any other democrat is going to ride to the rescue here. it is likely going to be the field as we have it right now. the trusting credibility numbers are not problematic yet, but troubling for the clinton campaign. >> and consistent. >> and consistent. this poll is interesting. it expands 11 or 12 days. usually, in polling, it's not a good thing, because so much happens. in this case it's instrucktive. it spans over a wide period of time. it shows they are not changing no matter what she is doing. this is going to be an issue she wrestles with. one thing to keep in mind bill clinton won re-election in 1996 and the majority of voters didn't trust him. trust isn't necessarily the end all be all. >> trumps numbers, in colorado iowa and virginia, you can see
3:28 am
his unfavorables outweigh the unfavrable. >> he's trending in two opposite directions at the same time. what is your read on that? >> i think, on the one hand in the republican field, he's shooting up. with this i mean his comment about john mccain and him just being so out there in terms of talking about mexicans you can see he's had unfavorable ratings. it's not a surprise to see that people kind of judge him unfavorably. it's been consistent in a way. people have had negative feelings about him even though they know him and he has a high name id. this id of all publicity is good publicity isn't necessarily true for trump. >> what do you think about the move with lindsey graham and what happened there. >> do you want to hear the latest? >> let's play the back and forth, then get the take. >> you have this guy, lindsey
3:29 am
graham a total lightweight. here is a guy, in the private sector couldn't get a job, believe me. he couldn't do what you did, you are retired and rich. he wouldn't be rich he'd be poor. >> that was the nice part. he then shows his cell phone number and says call him. he won't do anything but at least he'll talk to you. >> gives out his private phone number. >> that is his phone number. i have used it over the years to call him. he is very accessible. look at the expression on the voter's faces behind donald trump. they don't think that's funny. they like graham. it's in his home state of south carolina. this is why the poll numbers we saw a second ago, it is confirming the worries and fears of republican leaders, if he happens to get through a primary, some people like him in a primary. some are looking for this in anything but washington to tap into the anger that is out
3:30 am
there. he does not play well in a general election setting. >> when does he stop driving the momentum here? when do people start looking at not just what he said before. he say what is worked for him in the moment and what he's done in the past and who he's hurt in the past and not letting him duck. he goes places he wants to go that treat him the right way. he won't deal with media. when did the rules get changed on him? >> i think that's happening now. you see kind of reports of him changing his mind on things being a democrat in 2004 and praising the democratic party. i think that's what you are going to see from republicans, more research on donald trump, then he'll have to play by a different set of rules. keep in mind the summer before january of an election year is often a time when you have you know sort of candidates rise up
3:31 am
and do well in the polls and by january, things are very different. we have to see. i think it happened before with people like howard dean. i dated dean and marries john kerry. you will see that scene play out with trump. >> this is a market driven thing. this is going to keep going on until the voters shut it down. it's a market driven proposition. >> media, all the air under him to raise the flames. when we dump water on them he's shown he doesn't want to be tested. he says what he wants to say, goes on media appearance. he doesn't want to be tested. what do you think about how the rnc is handling them? thanks very much. see you soon. this is really the gop problem. trump is in their party for now. will he go independent if they kick him out? we have the rnc chairman mel martinez to talk about what the party's plan is for the donald.

sandra bland raising a lot of questions this morning. as we can see, the routine traffic stop quickly escalated. bland was found dead in her jail cell three days after the arrest. police say she committed suicide. her family believes she was murdered. the pastor for baltimore's church met with bland's family. thank you for being here this morning. i know you have watched this 52-minute video and you watched it with sandra bland's family's attorney. can you tell us the family's reaction to this video? >> the whole thing is just shocking. it's disbelief that the arrest even took place. before we get to the video, we can't forget that the officer in question was suspended and supposed to be at a desk never supposed to be at a car. all of this is a nightmare that just seemingly will not end. >> this entire arrest we believe, started because sandra

bland failed to signal when she was was pulling over. then the video shows how quickly the whole thing escalates. let me show you a portion of their confrontation. >> get out of the car, now! >> why am i being apprehended. >> i said get out of the car! i'm giving you an order. i'm going to drag you out of here. >> you are going to drag me out of my car? >> get out of the car! get out, now! >> wow. wow. >> that's the moment you can hear the police officer escalating and sandra bland not wanting to get out of the car. what is the family's response as to why she didn't immediately get out of the car? >> it's obvious and apparent this is the donald trump of traffic cops he is completely out of line and gone over the
3:55 am
cliff over failure to use a traffic signal. she knew her lights and was fully equipped with the law and challenged him. he was frustrated on that. even the police department acknowledged he broke procedure and protocol. they didn't give specifics. he was out of order saying and i quote, i will light you up. all of this originating from failure to use a signal. in texas, she is smoking in her car. she didn't steal the car. it's not illegal to use a cigarette. i think the officer didn't know a good manner in giving redress and was not equipped with somebody a black woman who knew her rights and was insistent in protecting them. >> she was found dead after
3:56 am
three days of being in her jail cell. why was she in jail three days? >> that is a great question. we do not believe she died from self-asphyxiation. any moment now, we should have a full independent autopsy report returned back to us to give insight. as a pastor i preach in and out of jails many years. i have never seen a trash can with a liner in a prison cell. so how did that even come? >> that was the plastic bag that was found to have killed her was from her trash can? >> yes. >> just help me understand this did her family know she was sitting in jail? did they try to get her out? were they visiting her in those three days? >> it is my understanding the bond was posted. preparing to get $5,000 to get release. in the midst of that is when you get the harrowing announcement

a lot of things you feel like you are in a lost episode of "back to the future." in this city. white under takers don't take black bodies. that one day, the white under taker took her body when it is the practice of that town, if somebody black dies only a black undertaker takes the body. in this instance the police department changed their 100-year practice. we know there are a lot of things that are inconsistent. we hear her yelling defiantly. this is how you are going to treat a woman? you are throwing her down? going to treat her like this over a traffic violation. loretta lynch is going to have to come in and clean out the whole department. >> yes. there's much more answers to come. reverent thank you for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> we are following a lot of news this morning. let's get to it. >> did police alter dashcam video in the arrest of sandra
