4:00 am
five-minute video commemorating his career and the hall of fame says it has nothing to do with the circumstances sounding his death but say it's following a policy that has been in place since 2010 and has social media abuzz. we want to know what you think. what do you think about this? should the seau family be allowed to speak or not? accepted us your reasoning at the #newdaycnn. we love you get you involved in the conversation and listen to what he had to say in the next hour. >> thank you, coy. so much more news to tell you about this morning. the next hour of your "new day" starts right now. i betcha that he is crazy enough that that might be the shooter in louisiana. >> hadn't heard from him in probably ten years and hadn't heard from him since, so this is a complete shock. >> now we are going inside the killer's mind. new information this morning,
4:01 am
shedding light on the past of theater shooter john russel houser. a string of arrests and a record of, this is a quote, extreme erratic behavior. >> all of the people who got shot and escaped and all of the people who died, passed by us sitting in that front row. >> can you imagine? stories of sadness and horror and bravery, as we hear new stories this morning from witnesses in the horrific efforts that prevented that shooting from being even worse. we wanted to come here. i wanted to be here because africa is on the move. >> within the hour, an official arrival ceremony for president obama in kenya. it's the first time the sitting u.s. president has visited that country. always so grateful to have you with us. 7:01 on this saturday morning. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. we start with this what i

call eerie look inside the mind 69 killer and new pictures of a moaned allegedly trashed by the louisiana movie theater shooter john russel houser. the home's new owner said that houser destroyed rooms and hallways and poured cement into drains and threw dead fish all over the house. when they heard about thursday's deadly attack, they were not surprised houser was to blame. >> i betcha that he is crazy enough that that might be the shooter in louisiana. i said there is no way. i know he is crazy, but, i mean, he didn't do anything to these people over there. and i get chills saying that, because, you know, i was scared when he was over here and he almost blew my loved ones up. >> i just had that feeling. sometimes you get that feeling, you know? just something that i just had. >> in the meantime, cnn affiliate katc reports that five victims of the shooting are still in the hospital. one person is in critical
4:03 am
condition. more than a hundred people last night, look at this, gathered at the university of louisiana-lafayette last night for a candlelight vigil to remember the two victims killed. a 21-year-old mayci breaux and jillian johnson. ana cabrera is live in lafayette with the latest this morning. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. i can tell you, investigators are still processing the evidence inside the theater behind me. you can see it's still cordoned off this morning with the yellow crime scene tape. we know investigators are retracing the steps of john russel houser since he arrived here in lafayette july 2nd or 3rd. they are interviewing people he may have had contact with and interviewing family members and still don't know why he came to this city and why he chose this theater. they still don't know what it was that set him off on this deadly rampage.
4:04 am
>> 6:30 p.m. 20 minutes into the screening of the comedy "trainwreck." john russel houser seated in the second to the last row in the theater stands up and raises a 40 caliber handgun and opens fire. 21 yered breaux and her boyfriend are seated in front of the shooter. >> he stood up and began firing the weapon and the first two people he shot were right in front of him. >> bruaux is killed and her boyfriend is wounded. houser gets off 13 rounds before rushing to the entrance of the theater. he makes it outside and police responding in less than a minute are closing in. houser goes back inside and shoots himself in the head. taken to a nearby hospital, 33-year-old jillian johnson dies a short time later. nine others are also shot and wounded. police say houser arrived in lafayette just weeks ago. he was staying at a nearby motel. it appears he had carefully planned a get-away. >> we found wigs and glasses and
4:05 am
disguises basically in his room. hess vehic his vehicle had a switched license tag on it and parked right side the theater. >> he spent his life in georgia and alabama. over the years he got a law degree and ran for tax commissioner, a job his father held and went on to own two bars and hanging a black flag with a swastika outside one and he was well-known as a rebel rouser on local talk radio and tv as well as city council meetings and spouting anti-government extremism. so extreme he was trapped by an organization that track late groups. they released what he said in recent years. hitler is love. houser's ex-wife filed a
4:06 am
protective order against him in 2008. he was committed to a mental facility. his wife citing his volatile mental state. she also removed all of the guns and weapons from their home after he threatened to on break up his daughter's wedding and ironic posting written in 2013. rather live without it, i will take death. now we are also learning more about the murder weapon. we are told that he used a high-point 40 caliber handgun that was a semiautomatic. he purchased it from a pawn shop in alabama and it was purchased legally despite his mental health. >> ana, krau. cedric alexander is joining us now. this shooter, we understand, didn't just have a history of legal and mental problems. he was obsessed with things like golden dawn, hitler, the
4:07 am
westboro baptist church. when you look what his family said about him in 2008 kourt documents show that the family accused him of family violence and sought and restraining order against him and mental disorders and bipolar disorder. i think the first question how does somebody like that get a gun legally? because he got it legally in this case. >> he may have gotten it legally somehow with it not being determined a mental health issue so he certainly could have lied when he purchased the gun. a lot of people can do that and people, oftentimes, can circumvent the process. >> do background checks make that much of a difference? >> i think they make an important difference in terms of being able to determine who is in possession of those weapons. to be able to look at a person's history, if they are a convicted
4:08 am
felon, then certainly they will not be issued a weapon so i think that is a very important part of the process for anyone who wants to purchase a weapon. >> houser, the southern law center, as i understand it, he was on their radar apparently. they tell cnn that he had an obsession with hate, with white supremacy and went on more than a decade. let's listen here. >> he praised lone wolves on his web postings. he talked about hitler. he talked about tim mcveigh, the oklahoma city bomber. a lot out there that reflects kind of an obsession with violence. i would also mention, kate, his white supremacist -- white supremacy is nothing recent or new rather. it goes back at least ten years, perhaps longer than that. so this had been some boiling rage within this person for a long, long time. >> i want to revisit something we were talking about earlier.
4:09 am
when you see somebody exhibiting this behavior and threatening violence like this, who do you report it to and what has to happen for something to actually be done? >> oftentimes, the first people we need to report it to are their family members and see if we can get them to intervene. if they appear to be a threat to themselves and others, then we all have a responsibility to notify our local law enforcement in that regard. if somebody is exhibiting those type of behaviors or they are being verbal with those type of behaviors of doing harm to someone else because of some erratic belief that they may have. so we all have a responsibility when we hear this to try to get some people for that person or to notify someone they are making these type of threats because, too many times, how many times have we seen history of someone making these types of threats and then, at sometime during the course of the investigation, it's been determined that they made those
4:10 am
threats before someone got harmed? you're going to have people who will make all kinds of threats. maybe they get angry about something. >> round-about way? >> in a round-about way. when we start seeing consistent erratic, hazel -- >> specifics? >> very specific, oftentimes, behavior, we need to let someone else know and because that is when it becomes critically important for the safety of all of us. >> cedric alexander, always appreciate your insight. thank you very much. >> thank you for having me. we have live pictures about this arrival ceremony here scheduled to begin pretty soon in kenya for president obama. this is just outside of the statehouse in nairobi. this is the first time a sitting u.s. president has visited kenya. we are going to take you back live in just a moment. plus, after the revelation from that decade-old court document that bill cosby admitted to obtaining drugs to give to women, he wanted to have sex with, we are now learning where he got those drugs.

this morning, president obama is in kenya. a few moments ago, he was laying a wreath at a ceremony there at the memorial site for the 1998 u.s. embassy bombings in nair i nairobi. this is his first visit as president to his father's homeland. listen what he said at that summit. >> this continent needs to be a future hub of global growth, not just african growth.
4:15 am
and the country that is hosting us today is setting an important example. kenya is leading the way. >> let's go now to cnn's white house correspondent michelle kosinski in nairobi. michelle, last night and today, he was welcomed warmly, but the official welcome is, i guess, about to start? >> reporter: right. well, he'll be meeting in a bilateral with the president of kenya so that will be the big ceremonyial greeting. but across kenya, you know, in just the small part of nairobi where he has been, the crowds have been big. we saw at least a hundred people at one location chanting obama, chanting welcome, going after the motorcade. nothing -- we are not talking massive crowds here that have tried to swamp the motorcade or anything like that, it's been very orderly. but really a warm jubilant welcome, wherever he has gone so far, victor. >> not just officially here that there is a lot of work to do,
4:16 am
but he will be and has visited family. give us an idea of the balance here that the president is striking. >> right. >> reporter: right. even when he was speaking today at these official events, he said,, obviously, this is personal to me. he said he is proud to be back in kenya that his family is from here. one of the people who introduced him said he is a son of kenyan soil. as soon as he land inside nairobi yesterday he was greeted by official and his half-sister and immediately went to a hotel restaurant where he had dinner with about three dozen members of his extended family here in kenya on his father's side. and we just got a glimpse before the dinner started of him talking and laughing. really animatedly with members of his family who, obviously, he hasn't seen in a long time. having a good time. it seemed like it wasn't a hint of awkwardness or lack of things to say, even though he is the president of the united states. just a warm time. you could really tell he is enjoying that.
4:17 am
members of his family are expected to attend some of the events throughout the trip as well, at least while he is in kenya. even though he won't be able to travel to his father's village in the western part of the country, he won't be able to, you know, sit in his grandmother's hut, and she talked how she was going to prepare a traditional dinner for him. unfortunately, that won't happen. before the president left on this trip, he even said it's difficult for him as president to be able to do these kinds of personal visits. he said it's much easier as a private citizen when he can go in incognito and wear a baseball cap and wander around on his own and the places he wants to go. he is, obviously, trying to make the most of it and incorporate some of his family on this trip. >> maybe a hint after he leaves the white house but still a lot of work to do on this swing through the continent. michelle kosinski, thank you so much. we will before you you live pictures of that arrival ceremony as soon as it starts.

4:24 am
the 70s but what we usually don't get is a really strong flow here from the water and that is going to penetrate all the way where they are fighting the fires. that means relative humidity is going to skyrocket from 70 as high as 85% through the afternoon. where normally in the 30s for the relative humidity. that is short-lived and only lasting the next couple of days. in fact, what will happen as the humidity goes down, the temperatures, of course will go up. that means that we have about 48 hours where conditions are going to be favorable here and firefighting efforts into saturday and sunday. you see that spike. monday afternoon, pushing 90 degrees and the rh 25 to 30%. the next couple of days [ inaudible ]. >> thank you, ivan. appreciate it. we heard about the gunman in this louisiana shooting but let's hear about the victims of this crime and how they are

and so we gave him some and that was the last we had heard of him. we hadn't heard from him ten years prior to that and haven't heard from him since so this was complete shock. >> that is houser's brother on. he said the killer asked to borrow some money just about a month ago but that the two hadn't spoken about a decade prior to that. we are learning new details about the 59-year-old shooter, including the fact that he allegedly trashed and bobby trapped an alabama home from which he was evicted in 2004. we will have more on that throughout the morning here on "new day." run one of the victims was a musician who co-owned a toy and gift shot. another was a student who planned to start radiology school in the coming days. cnn has more on these two women whos lives were taken in this week's deadly shooting.

>> reporter: this is one of the last times jillian johnson would sing with her band. ♪ the. 3-year-old, one of two victims, killed at a movie theater in lafayette, louisiana, when john russel houser opened fire on the crowd. >> we cannot lose sight of the fact that a 21-year-old and a 33-year-old beautiful young lady lost their lives last night. they had a vision, had a future. i said this earlier. they had a face, they had a name and it wasn't to die in this theater. >> reporter: in the aftermath of the deadly shooting, a clearer picture emerging of those affected by the violence. jillian johnson ran a boutique with her husband and brother in lafayette. friends say she touched people's lives with her creativity. her band, the figs, releasing this statement to cnn. quote, jillian made everything more beautiful. she worked to make lafayette a more beautiful place and one of the most tragic things that has

4:33 am
unclear if clinton realized she was sending compromised data. they are asked the department of justice to open an investigation into the matter. let's bring in sunlen serfaty with more details. >> reporter: clinton turned over 30,000 e-mails to the state department and inspectors general took a sample of about 40 of those e-mails. based on that, four of those e-mails contained classified information. this is the important part here. none of those four e-mails were marked as classified by the state department, so it's not clear if clinton knew she was potentially compromising that information. back in march when the e-mail controversy first popped up, she said she did not e-mail any classified information and, yesterday, clinton responding a bit to the dust-up saying a lot of inaccuraciys representing a report in "the new york times" she was the intent of a criminal investigation and that turned
4:34 am
out not to be true. here is how she put it. >> maybe the heat is getting to everybody. we all have a responsibility to get this right. i have released 55,000 pages of e-mails. i have said repeatedly that i will answer questions before the house committee. we are all accountable to the american people to get the facts right and i will do my part. >> reporter: this is already quickly picked up steam from republicans. speaker of the house john boehner saying in a statement, quote, what these reports demonstrate is the inherent risk of conducting our nation's diplomacy and foreign policy on your home e-mail and personal server. her poor judgment has undermined our national security and it is time for her to finally do the right thing. now clinton, today, she starts a three-day trip throughout iowa, a state where she has recently seen her polling really drop in
4:35 am
the recent months. this just puts the spotlight right back on this vulnerability for her. again, certainly, victor, not the position that she wants to be in on the defensive as she hits the trail today. >> absolutely. happy you hit that. sunlen, thank you for starting the conversation and we want to keep it going put you at home, tell us what you think about this and what impact this will have, if any, on hillary clinton's campaign. hit us up on facebook and on twitter to share your thoughts. let's bring into this conversation, we have with us -- sorry. jeffrey lord. sorry about, that jeffrey. >> victor, no problem. >> good to have you with us. so let's go to the these quinnipiac poll numbers for iowa. sunlen just brought them up. voters here, it shows that she is slipping in favor ability, compared to other gop rivals. when the campaign launched there was discussion this being baked
4:36 am
into the cake with hillary clinton. she has been in public life for decades now. people either love her or don't. but is this changing the perception of hillary clinton and can she change that? >> yeah. i do think it's going to be awfully hard. i mean, what we are just discussing a few minutes ago, those right straight back to the kind of problems hillary clinton has had as long as she has been on the public scene. the missing rose law firm billing records that disappeared and then, suddenly, materialized on a table in the resident's portion of the white house. i mean, as i recall, in reading some of this history, she came within a hair of being the first lady to be indicted, and they finally decided they didn't think they had quite enough evidence but they all thought she wasn't telling the truth. this kind of thing is basically coming up again and i'm just not sure that, you know, leopards can change their spots, as it were. >> i want to remind the folks at home we are having a
4:37 am
conversation with a former white house political director under ronald reagan. i know that some would say this is very early on and most voters aren't paying attention to this. >> that's true. that's true. >> and she will probably move clov closer to the nomination. i want to get to donald trump also in iowa today a weekend after the comments he made about arizona senator john mccain. a lot of people would say he needs to change his tone. what do you say? >> i think his tone is what is carrying him this far. i think if he -- you know, we used to have a saying in the reagan days, let reagan be reagan. i think you have to let donald trump be donald trump. i think the moment he ceases to do that, he will have a problem. i think he'll plow on and frankly i don't think he can change it if he wanted to. >> we were talking this morning about president obama in kenya. when the president was elected, it seemed as if the electorate
4:38 am
was looking for someone a little more nuanced than george w. bush. >> right. >> has the country tired that in this attraction with trump -- the republicans? >> that is, frankly, it's a very good point and that is a historical pattern. you know, they -- the american people changed president bush for president obama. in the past, it was carter for reagan. the old dwight eisenhower. you can go back in history and this pattern repeats over and over again. the fact that donald trump is at the other end of the scale from president obama and i don't just mean politically but stylistic, that may be something the american people are looking for. >> jeffrey lord, thank you for with being with us this morning. >> thank you, victor. turkey has rounds of air strikes against isis but why is
4:39 am
the country taking this aggressive action now and what difference will it make? our military expert is weighing in on that. also a story we have been discussing all morning on twitter and facebook. the late junior seau being inducted into the pro football hall of fame. but his family isn't going to be allowed to speak at that ceremony. we have your comments coming up.

inaccuratesies. .. remember nearly 600 suspects are behind bars this morning in turkey. part of a massive anti-terror raid across the country that began yesterday. turk irwar planes and artillery
4:43 am
targeting isis positions over the border in syria. phillip is joining us here. we are seeing a big ramp-up by turkey against isis and against kurdish militants as well. a lot of people might be wondering why now? >> you talked about the sweep, the pickup of suspects in turkey over time. it looks like that the threat to turkey has grown and in my experience as a cia guy there is a simple calculus here. when the threat rises the turks day a lot of attention. they were reluctant to get involved for a couple of reasons. they are taking out assad in syria. the turks would like to do assad gone so reluctant to strike some of the syrian targets. . second, they are worried about poking a stick in the aisle of is circumstances because of concerns that the isis guys would just come across the border but i think we saw major terrorist attack in turkey last week. we saw this number of suspects picked up.
4:44 am
i think the turks finally said enough and we are going after them. >> well, we know turkey is allowing the u.s. access to its air bases too for these air strikes on isis. is there any connection or coincide that it's happening now after the iran nuclear deal? >> i think it's coincidental. i think the turks realized they faced a local security threat. there has been long negotiations with the americans, with the secretary of defense and others about using turkish air bases and those negotiations have been going on for a long time. a couple of other things going on here. the turks want to go after their own problem as well, that is kurdish militants. the americans would prefer the turks stick against the syrian extremist but we have seen overnight they are turks are hitting the targets we want them to hit. the opposition -- or the syrian extremists but going after kurdish folks that we prefer to
4:45 am

guantanamo to europe will embed themselves in these exopinipat reyacht communities. thousands of europeans have gone to syria and iraq to fight. when you get these guantanamo return years back to europe they will find communities that unfortunately have some young people who are willing to listen to the message. we will probably see more of this. >> and they are seen as heroes, i suppose, in some circles. >> sure. >> after getting out of guantanamo? >> that's right. you can think in mafia terms, they are mob guys and main men and the main men can come into these networks immediately because they are trusted. >> phillip mudd, appreciate your insight. thank you for being bus. new dash cam of the sandra bland arrest who died in texas in police custody. did this new angle give us better insight into what happened after that controversial traffic stop? hey. that's that new gear feeling. now get a swiss gear backpack for only $10.

office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great. why should over two hundred years of citi history matter to you? well, because it tells us something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these, and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. and the next great idea could be yours.

i've got two reasons to take that's why i take meta. meta is clinically proven to help lower cholesterol. try meta today. and for a tasty heart healthy snack, try a meta health bar. ten minutes until the top of the hour now, and we just got some newly released dash cam video showing more of the traffic stop arrest of sandra bland. she was found hanged in a texas jail cell earlier this month. her funeral is today. here's the video inside the dash cam of a police cruiser of the scene of the arrest. you see the patrol car, the officer here takes her outside of that car. reaches in, takes her out, pats her down and puts her back
4:51 am
inside the car. let's bring in hln legal analyst joey jackson, joey, is there any value to this video? good morning to you. >> good morning, victor. apparently she was in the back of the female officer's car who showed up to assist the officer at the time. she's pulled out and patted down. it really emphasizes a traffic stop gone awry. it doesn't add any additional value other than pointing to the fact that it certainly doesn't need to develop and escalate to this second level. >> not just a traffic stop. a special inspection report indicates that guards failed to do the timely checks, this was found three days after bland's body was found in the cell. it appears here there's a stronger and stronger case, as we learn more here, that this family has against this police department. >> sure. and, you know, it extends to the jail. i know you're referring to the
4:52 am
texas commission. every state has a commission that evaluates the jail and jails are expected to perform and minimum things are required to be done. of course they were cited, that is the jail. for two things. first of which is not having officers adequately trained to deal with people who have any kind of potential mental ailment or who could be suicidal based on thins occurring in their life. and in addition to that, the jail was cited for not having officers check periodically on the care, custody or control of a particular person who is prisoner there. it's problematic, and i think you see reforms from that moving forward. not that it helps this family moving forward. you need the training and need officers to check on people who were there as opposed to hitting an intercom and saying, hey, are you okay? >> bland's family is saying they would like an independent autopsy, her own pathologist to conduct it. her funeral is today.
4:53 am
the expectation that has already happened. the results have not been released. what is next in this investigation? what is next to get answers here? >> it's important, the independent autopsy. transparency is important, trust is important. you want people to respect whatever findings there are. if the family does it, you have the respect of the findings of a person that you hired. but in terms of what needs to happen from the authority's point of view and family's point of view. from the authority's point of view, they present the case to a grand jury. that's important because you want to put it to a body of people in the community who can evaluate whether anything criminal happened here. from what we're learning now, it appears nothing has. still, you want to put it to that body presenting all of the evidence, they make for the findings. from the family's perspective, they want accountability. certainly they want to find out what happened. the autopsy, independently, will give some information to what
4:54 am
they believe occurred and further than that, they want to hold the jail accountable for any lapses that occurred there. i think we'll see civil suits to follow. money never brings back anyone. but that's what the system has to compensate people who have been aggrieved. >> joey jackson, thanks so much. >> thank you, victor. at the top of the hour we're talking safety in records to the latest shooting in louisiana. do you think we need airport security in movie theaters? h. and he is being inducted into the hall of fame but his family is not allowed to speak. we'll hear more about that late football star, coming up. xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem.
4:55 am
for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto®. i'll have another arnold palmer. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s.
4:56 am
and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.
