3:00 am
president obama finishes his first trip to kenya as president, taking on gay rights, terror, corruption, even those who think he was born in kenya. plus this -- >> the facts are wrong. and i'm still waiting for one fact. one fact from you, about me being anti-gun. give me one. one fact. >> governor chris christie there, fighting back on his gun record. even challenging, as you hear there, one man who suggests he is anti-gun. and a road rage fight turns deadly before guns are pulled. they both call 911.
3:01 am
and you have to hear these frantic calls to dispatchers and the deadly outcome. >> that is a bizarre one. we're going to weigh in on that one with our attorneys here. we want to wish you a good morning on this sunday. we're so grateful for your company, as always. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. >> hey. >> hey. >> starting with president obama's visit to kenya. moments ago, he spoke at nairobi arena. thousands, a packed space there, gathered to hear him speak. and before he heads to ethiopia in a couple of hours. >> want to give you a little more of what he said. >> here in kenya, we also know the specter of terrorism has touched far too many lives. and we remember the americans and kenyans who died
3:02 am
side-by-side, in the attack on our embassy. the innocent kenyans that were taken from us at westgate mall. weep for the 150 people slaughtered, including so many students who had a bright future before them. we honor the memory of so many innocent kenyans whose lives have been lost in this struggle. going to cnn's white house correspondent, michelle in nairobi. thank you so much. michel michelle, obama talked about kenya's progress. he was talking about corruption, as well. what does that do for kenyan ties? >> he covered all bases here. you heard a tiny bit of his speech that lasted nearly 45 minutes. but he was fired up, wanting to get it all in there and cover everything. his theme was kenya at a crossroads. a time of great peril but also
3:03 am
enormous progress. speaking to the youth of this country. saying their opportunity is here. they no longer have a foreign oppressor or need to seek their opportunity elsewhere. their future is right here, right now. very inspiring. but he also wanted to get at the big challenges. and he didn't mince words. corruption, as you mentioned, was a big one. talked about how that weighs kenya down and holds them back. the lead for inclusiveness. at one point, the president was nearly shouting, talking about how the past traditions, the oppression of women, just because it's part of your past, the history, doesn't mean it's right. there's no place in civilized society for some of the traditions, like forced marriage of children. no place for it in the 21st century. that these things have to change. in fact, at one point, he compared some of the tradition and how they noeed to evolve, hw
3:04 am
the u.s. is changing its use of one symbol, the confederate flag. he tried to cover, including everybody, even touching on homosexuality. when he talked about equality based on no matter what god you worship or who you love. and terrorism was a big point. telling kenya that the u.s. will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with it in the fight against terrorism, as long as it takes. christi. >> these messages going to carry over into ethiopia, where he's headed next? >> yeah, much the same. fighting corruption and inclusive democracy that's a true democracy. feels that democracy is emerging there, especially in ethiopia, where the president is said to get 100% of the vote in the last election. the white house acknowledges there's work to be done there. fighting terror is a big issue.
3:05 am
that's why they want to build cooperation with the countries. and building economic ties. he doesn't want to just build cooperation as charities to countries in africa. he sees this as real opportunity, not only for the people here but for people in the united states. >> and, michelle, we do have a quick sound byte i want to get to, that may have taken a few people by surprise, had they listened to it. here it is. >> i am proud to be the first american president to come to kenya. [ applause ] and of course, i'm the first kenyan-american to be president of the united states. >> he did say kenyan-american there because i have to tell you we were in the newsroom, and we said the first kenyan-american? or the first kenyan president? what did you make of that? >> yes. a little confusing there, right? well, there was just this sense during the speech, and even in the introduction. his sister, half-sister
3:06 am
introduced him. and said he's one of us. he gets us. and you hear initially when the segment started, president obama started his speech with a hey. and a few words in swahili. he wants to make that point that kenya is a part of his heritage. but, yes, he did say kenyan-american. and i don't think he was trying to, you know, make a point against his critics there. i think he wanted to emphasize the tie between america and kenya. and that's really the theme of this trip, right? trying to establish the closeness there and the means for growth between these two countries. >> michelle kosinski, always good to have you. thank you. back here in the u.s., chris christie is on the campaign trail as he heads to new hampshire. this is coming after he certainly made some news, for getting into one of those famous christie heated back-and-forth discussions, this time about gun
3:07 am
rights. this was during a town hall in iowa. of course, he's running for the presidential nominations for the republicans. he fired back at a questioner after he asked about christie's gun record. listen to some of this exchange. >> state gun right groups from here in iowa to minnesota, to georgia, have sent out e-mails saying you're anti-gun when it comes to second amendment. my question is, how are you going to new jersey gun owners into thinking that you'll be anything other than a president michael bloomberg if you become successful? >> because it's not true. so, let's start with that. does new jersey have a lot of difficult gun laws? yeah. they were all signed before i became governor. i vetoed that. i understand if you have a point of view, have a point of view. have some facts to back it up. what are your facts to back up that i'm anti-gun? no. so, now, you're interpreting
3:08 am
intent. i had to get muscled into it by who? who has muscled me? gun owners across my state? i've agreed with gun owners on my state. what they're frustrated about is we have a democratic legislature who is anti-gun. and they can't get those laws changed. here's the news for anybody who is governor or president. you're not emperor or dictator. and i'm waiting for one fact, one fact from you about me being anti-gun. give me one. one fact. got one? >> support for a state -- >> by the way, i vetoed the state i.d. system. you're wrong about that, too. >> all right. let's talk about it. we've got cnn politics senior reporter, steven collinson. and political analyst, jason johnson. okay. there's a lot going on here, right? not just the moment but when
3:09 am
this moment happens in the run-up to the nomination. about a week and a half until the first gop debate. there's several candidates, including governor christie, who are battling for the final spot. let's start with you, steven. does this type of exchange help or hurt his chances to make it to that first debate? >> i thought it was fascinating, that exchange, victor. first of all, it showed clearly that the gun issue is going to be something that republic candidates are going to have to handle in this primary. it was really the first time in this presidential cycle that we've seen that brash, candid, aggressive, even impatient side of chris christie, of which he built his political brand in new jersey. it will be interesting to see how that goes down. it's a moment in the presidential campaign. and iconic moment, if you like. he's struggling to get to the first debate. maybe it gives him a quick blip in the polls. but it helps him to bust his way
3:10 am
into the conversation, which has been hijacked by donald trump, who was also in iowa today. >> there is style and subject here, jason. we talked about style here. subject, does america, beyond that room, it seemed to work there, want to have a fervent gun rights activist, after chattanooga, after lafayette, after charleston? is this the right tone for this topic? >> of course it's not. but it's a great tone for someone who wants to make hay in the primaries. there's cuts of him on youtube yelling at people. that's not going to going well as the campaign continues. right now, these guys are in a scum to get into debates. christie says i can get beyond the donald trump noise by doing policy. it's style and substance. and it's successful. >> does it get him above the
3:11 am
points where he is now in the polls? is this going to affect change for his campaign? >> he's at nine. if he jumps up to seven. at this point, all you need to be is in the top ten to get into the debate. if he can do a good job in the debate, gets in the top five, that improves money and interview time. >> let's talk about the democrats. hillary clinton responding to the claims about intelligence officials that she sent private e-mails have her server. she told iowa voters that the facts are clear. listen to what she said. >> i am confident that i never sent nor received any information that was classified at the time it was sent and received. what i think you're seeing here is a very typical kind of discussion to some extent to disagreement among various parts of the government, over what should or should not be publicly released. >> stephen, she said she didn't
3:12 am
send classified information that was classified at the time when it was sent or received. the inspector-general said, yes it is. this is a difficult area for her. does it matter to voters? >> he said it pales to the material that it wasn't marked classified at the time. that's an intricate insider detail. where it hurts her in the wider sense, is hillary clinton is trying to talk policy. talking about the economy. talking about global warming this week. and all of the media is focusing on is the issue of her character. is she secretive? did she try to, you know, hide things with her personal e-mail server when she was secretary of state? it makes it more difficult for her to broaden that conversation and get past this. this is something that's going to hound her campaign, i think, up until, you know, the primaries. there are a couple of polls in
3:13 am
swing states this week that suggested that she was losing to some prominent republican candidates. that's not surprising at this point. but the polls also said people are beginning to take notice of this character issue. to question her sincerity and her trustworthiness. that's something that gives republicans ammunition going forward. >> jason, i remember weeks ago, you said this was baked into the cake. people have decided. but looks like some people are shifting and changes. >> it could change. you have to tell me why this is a problem. was senator clinton completely honest? probably not. but unless you can prove that she did something bad, i don't care. people are not that concerned because she's not honest. and that's never been her selling point. she's a leader. and her leadership numbers are really high. >> if that's the way you sell a candidate, she's not honest, that's not her selling point. >> never been.
3:14 am
>> jason johnson, stephen, thank you, both. we want to keep the conversation going at home. hit facebook, hit twitter. tell us what you think. who will get the final two spots for the gop debate? and what do you think of the e-mail controversy? will it be enough to create damage for hillary clinton? just days after a gunman opened fire inside a louisiana movie theater, family and friends are gathering today to remember and honor one of the women who were killed. we have a live report from louisiana. also, look at this. thick smoke, that can be for miles. that's the las vegas strip. a popular hotel. that's a source of the fire that forced tourists to scramble for safety. i'm gonna crack like nobody's watching and eat like i skipped lunch. why? because red lobster's crabfest is back. and i'm diving into so much crab, so many ways. like crab lover's dream with luscious snow
3:15 am

31 minutes past the hour. and new this morning for you, a car bomb exploded in southern turkey killing two security officers and wounding four team. this attack happened in a southern province, near the border with syria. it comes as turkey is ramping up the fight against kurdish militants and isis. arwa damon, joining us from insti istanbul. do we know who is behind this car bombing, arwa? >> good morning, christi. no indication, yet all indications are the pkk. this ambush. the unit that was attacked was responding to a burning vehicle. and the attack comes about 24 hours after the pkk declared the
3:33 am
cease-fire effectively dead. this is causing concern among the population that's already struggling with turkey's battle against the pkk, resulting in low-level violence for three decades. you don't have just this particular conflict that's taking place. you also have the conflict that turkey has undertaken, now, it seems more directly, with isis, launching those air strikes from turkish air space into syria. also, over the last few days. as turkish authorities have been launching a massive roundup of suspected terrorists. a widespread anti-terrorism campaign that saw about 600 individuals believed to be or accused of being with isis and the pkk, rounded up since
3:34 am
friday. many people very concerned about what is going to happen next. this may not necessarily be a game-changer. but at this stage, it most certainly seems as if it will be a game-shifter, christi. >> arwa damon, we appreciate it. and the turkish minister says it will continue as long as his country is threatened. i wonder, you know, as this is a prerogative, to do so to protect the people of turkey, people continue operations. but i assume this will cyclical, now, that the cease-fire is over. >> absolutely, victor. what we have is a combination. a two-for that some will say. isis is recruiting in turkey. a lot of youth is resonating towards that direction.
3:35 am
and the turkish administration is not sure what to do about that. plus, they have about a quarter of their people are kurdish ethnic groups. and they're in the southeast where this car bombing took place today. and of course, turkey responded, in part, because the kurds are having success against isis. and they're distracting from the assad regime, which is the turkish ambition here. you have all of the factors playing into this. and we, the united states, and the u.s. coalition, are very interested in decimating isis, as the president said. you have these factors at play. turkey is all of a sudden, and not surprisingly, trying to accomplish a number of things along its border. it wants a safe zone along northern iraq and syria. and the only way they are going to be able to accomplish that is by military intervention. no one else is going to do it.
3:36 am
>> why now? why is this happening now? isis' growth is not new. the pkk is not new. the crisis among the refugees is not new. and the international community is calling for turkey to join in the fight in a substantial way for some time. why is it happening now? >> the kurds have been successful in northern iraq, against isis. and they don't want the turks don't want the kurds to feel empowered. and therefore, coeless around the kurdish communities in syria, iran and so forth. there's been a historical movement to form an independent, sovereign country called kurdistan. if you allow the kurds to be empowered, that could help a move in that direction. and the kurds don't want that. isis had this attack on the 20th of july, that killed at least 32. and you know, they've been
3:37 am
having other successes, as i indicated moments ago, with recruiting people. you know, mostly sunnis, in turkey. and they're flowing south. so, istanbul, ankara, they're coming to the realization that they can't sit back and watch this happen. they have to do something proactive. and so, the call between president obama the other day, cemented a deal. the details are coming out. but it's a very important deal. and i think it is a game-changer if we all follow through with it. >> colonel rob maginnis, thank you so much. 14 years after the worst terror attacks on u.s. soil, we're getting a glimpse, now, new glimpses of the bush administration watching the 911 crisis unfold. look at these national archives that have been released. 350 photos released that have not been seen publicly. they include images of the
3:38 am
president you see there. the vice president. the national security team. they're meeting inside the emergency operations center, that is under the white house. bone-dry desert, now fueling a massive wildfire in the sierra nevada mountains. it's not easy terrain for the firefighters to access. how the weather may be contributing, as well. this is just bizarre. two different 911 calls. two different drivers. each claiming that the other is driving out of control. in the end, a man is dead. you're going to hear this case of road rage play out itself. stay put. here's a little healthy advice. take care of what makes you, you. right down to your skin. aveeno® daily moisturizing lotion with 5 vital nutrients for healthier looking skin in just one day. aveeno®. naturally beautiful results®

he's hit. the guy kept charging at him. >> unable to help her husband, doyle held kathy and the kids hostage until police arrived. >> they're coming as fast as they can. >> doyle is in jail, charged with second-degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault. candy's family is preparing for his funeral, set for next friday, at 11:00 a.m. >> wxts reached out to the families of the suspect and the victim. both families said their lawyers advise them not to speak to media. want to talk about this with d danny cevales. and as well in atlanta, cedric general. danny, i want to start with you first. we talk about the charges. second-degree murder and three counts of aggravated assault for holding the family hostage, as it's dubbed. do the charges you think reflect
3:51 am
properly what happened? >> well, a prosecutor could have charged him with even more. there's potential kidnapping, when you move someone, they could have charged a higher degree of murder. whether or not those will ultimately be dismissed, or this defendant would be acquitted is another thing. i think, frankly, the charges fall into the zone of what could be charged in this particular case. and they certainly could have gone for more. it seems like they're being, given the facts, relatively reasonable in their charging at this point, the prosecution. >> it has to be odd, i would think. i've not heard of a case where both people in this contested road rage incident are talking a 911 at the same time. is there anything specific you think a 911 operator could have done to diffuse the situation? or it seemed like both of these guys were on a mission. >> 911 operators have a really
3:52 am
difficult and challenging jobs. they take all kind of calls all day long. a case such as this, two individuals who are going after each other in some type of way, calling in at the same time. 911 operators doing the best he or she can, as they receive the information. it's not really a whole lot they can do as it appears in the initial phase of this investigation. what they are trying to do is take as much information in, relaying that to officers out on the street, having them en route. you heard one part of that conversation, just do as you're being asked to do. we have cars coming, just be safe the best that you can. >> danny, here's the thing. you've got the one, ended up being the victim, following the guy to his house. you have the guy, the suspect
3:53 am
here, doyle, saying he's going to be home in 20 seconds, he had a gun. he said my gun is already out. it's cocked and locked. those are his exact words on the 911 call. surely, that's going to come into play in a trial here. it's one thing to be on the defensive side, right? or to be alert. but that seems to take it to a whole other level, does it not? >> a couple ways of looking at this. if he was at home, florida has the stand your ground law. if you're at your home, it's almost unnecessary. all stand your ground is expanding the bubble that a castle doctrine, saying that a man's home is their castle. they can brandish a weapon and anybody on their property is there to do them harm. the larger point is, once somebody is at their home, regardless of what state you're in, there's a much higher
3:54 am
presumption of fear of reasonable bodily harm, and a defendant is going to have more of a privilege to use deadly force. at the same time, there is the argument that nobody should ever play law enforcement and go following someone they suspect committed a crime. the idea of the citizen's arrest, is a dangerous one and one that is rarely used anymore. the idea that the victim here was following -- i'm not saying it was his fault. but at the same time, that's going to come in as evidence. and i think a jury is going to look for answers to the question, why was the victim following this person to his home? and of course, they're going to read into each of their voices and decide, you're right, christi. if someone is saying cocked and locked and that sounds too glib or too casual or too cowboyish, a jury will read that. and they will punishment even for this language.
3:55 am
>> just a side note here. cedric, if you're being followed, i wouldn't go home. i would go to a police station. >> you go somewhere where there's people. you try to get to the local police station the best you can. the most important thing to remember is this. don't get yourself caught up in the road rage. we hear it goes on across the country. someone's trailing you. someone's fussing at you on the roadway, take off. take a side street. go somewhere else. one second of making a different decision means everything. >> cedric alexander, danny, thank you. we'll be right back.
