extensive interview with cnn, lewandowski talks about his abrupt departure and the campaign's fund-raising troubles. now, can trump reset his campaign just weeks before the convention, and if so, how? >> all of this as cnn has new national polling out this morning on the 2016 race. how do the two presumptive nominees stack up? and who do americans think is best to handle the issues after the orlando terror attack? we have all of that for you this morning. we have this campaign covered for you the only way cnn can, the a-team up and at 'em this tuesday. let's begin with our chief political correspondent, dana bash. dana, what an interview it was. >> thank you. it was an incredible day. and inside trump headquarters right now, they're hoping this is the first day of a new world, one without a volatile person in charge, who sources said spun trump up on all the wrong things and made it hard to hire staff and build a legitimate general election campaign. >> what happened. why were you fired?

>> you know, i don't know. i don't know the answer to that. >> reporter: but the answer, according to multiple gop sources, is donald trump's lagging poll numbers, lack of campaign infrastructure, plus heated power struggles, which all led trump's family to say, enough. >> sources who i've talked to and others who i've talked to said they've described you as a hothead, and you just didn't treat people right. what do you say to that? >> look, i think i'm a very intense person. and my expectation is perfection. because i think that's what mr. trump deserves. i had a nice conversation with mr. trump. and i said to him, it's been an honor and a privilege to be part of this. and i mean that from the bottom of my heart. >> reporter: cnn is told trump watched lewandowski's interview as it happened live, a few hours after he was fired. trump later expressed his appreciation as he talked about moving on. >> he's a good man. we've had great success. he's a friend of mine. but i think it's time now for a different kind of a campaign.

>> reporter: that different kind of campaign is one with paul manafort, lewandowski's nemesis, now firmly at the helm. cnn is told that internally, manafort's mantra is that trump must act more presidential, while lewandowski kept saying, let trump be trump. sources from the -- from in and around the campaign, have told us that they thought you were feeding mr. trump's worst instincts. if there was a plan in place post-primary, now that he's trying to pivot to the general, is in the general, that you would get in the plan with him and undercut that plan and bring out his worst instinct. what do you say to that? >> what interest would i have in doing that? >> the suggestion is that that's who you are. >> but if donald trump wins, that's good for corey lewandowski and good for the country. >> reporter: he made clear he supported he has controversial response to the orlando shooting. >> and goes boom, boom. >> reporter: and supporting a

judge presiding over a fraud case presiding over trump university. >> this judge is of mexican heritage, okay? i'm building a wall, okay? >> reporter: the question now is if trump will tone down his rhetoric with his like-minded campaign manager out. cnn is told it was that plus concerns about anemic fund-raising and basic campaign structure that alarmed trump's children. >> my boy, eric, and don, they've been working so hard. ivanka and jared have been amazing. >> and they all played an instrumental role in ousting lewandowski, especially daughter ivanka and son-in-law, jared kushner, a real estate whiz and publisher. >> can you tell me about your relationship with him? >> i've had a great relationship with jared. he's helped us from the onset of having a better online presence, being aggressive in a good way. he understands a different component than i understand. >> cnn is told kushner will now be even more influential in

trying to right the trump campaign ship. >> lewandowski was in charge of fund-raising, which is a new phenomenon for trump who self-funded during the primaries. still, trump is way behind his democratic opponent. look at these numbers. in the bank, hillary clinton has $42 million. donald trump $1.3 million. and the super pacs, hillary clinton has $52 million. donald trump, $500,000. that is a stark illustration of one of the main reasons why republicans are very nervous. >> we'll talk staff numbers, we'll talk money, we'll talk everything in between with you. stick around for the next couple of minutes here. meanwhile, this brand-new cnn poll puts hillary clinton over donald trump in a head-to-head match up, 47-42% there. the margins get even tighter when third party candidates are factored in. so let's go to cnn senior political correspondent, brianna keilar, live in columbus, ohio. with more, brianna, hello, my friend.

good morning. >> good morning, brooke. >> reporter: hillary clinton will be here at this community center a little bit later today this morning, as she tries to make the case that donald trump is unfit, temperamentally unfit to handle the economy of the united states. you'll remember a couple weeks ago, she tried to make this case when it came to donald trump dealing with foreign policy, and this was a speech that almost resembled a roast more than a foreign policy speech, so that may be an indication of what we're going to see here today. you mentioned the those polls. well, hillary clinton is leading overall, both in that head-to-head matchup by four points and by five points when you add in some of those third party candidates. she has a big problem when you look at the economy numbers. she is trailing by eight points when voters are asked, who do you think would handle the economy better? trump gets 51 points. hillary clinton with 43 points. so this is a big issue for this area that her campaign and voters say is going to be what really motivates them come

november. so what are we going to hear today? we're expecting that she will take aim at him, maybe specifically, on some of his ventures, from trump steaks to trump university to his casinos. and we're told we a top aide she'll be making the case that donald trump will drive the economy over the cliff, into another recession. >> all right, brianna, very interesting. the plan for the economy, is hillary clinton really just going to talk about what's wrong with donald trump when she's making a plan for the economy? we'll see. let's talk about that. also what this poll means in the race. and this huge reset. let's bring in the all-star panel. dana bash, exclusive interview getter, cnn politics executive editor, mark preston, and cnn political commentator and political anchor for time warner cable news, errol louis. so, dana, when a campaign has trouble, someone must suffer. and it is never the candidate, right? until the actual election day.

>> until they lose. >> so what do you make here about the dynamic of why this was happening? was this simply the only thing they could do? >> you know, in a lot of campaigns, when somebody is fired, that is the case, that there is a fall guy, not necessarily somebody who should be fired, but they feel like they immedianeed to make a chan there's a shake up. in this case, it seems to be really pretty directly related to the person who was fired. corey lewandowski was somebody who was, you know, kind of along for the ride and signed on very early on, day one, of trump's campaign, when most people thought it was a joke. and he's stayed on and he kind of rode the wave with trump, letting trump be trump. and it ended up in an unprecedented win. but now it is a very, very different ball game. so the fact that the combined reasons of him not necessarily

being equipped to do a big general election campaign, but also his personality and personnel issues internally, which were very, very volatile, it just made it untenable. and look, if donald trump's poll numbers were okay, if he hadn't had the major blunders that have made it impossible for the republicans to unite over the past few weeks, maybe this would not be -- probably, this would not be where we are. >> so before we get to the moving forward, just still on the how and why, you know, watching the interview with you, you know, he said he didn't know why he was fired, he has no regrets, professionally. but, you know, much attention has been made with this potential rift or competition with paul manafort, but so much of this is really about the children. it's about ivanka trump. and please feel free to weigh in. mark preston, i'll turn to you on this one. how involved issy van ssy ivank?

he clearly listens to her. >> he's blessed by the fact he has children that are very smart, very accomplished. ivanka trump will come out of this campaign as the big winner in the end, because she's been put on this national stage where we are all able to get to understand her. the issue is, day didn't feel that corey lewandowski wouz leading the campaign in the right direction. >> they, the children? >> they, the children. and as somebody who is a big trump supporter said to me yesterday, look, bottom line is, the kids do watch tv. they do read the newspaper. they have seen the last three weeks fall apart on their father. and can you imagine being a child watching your father on the big national stage, the international stage, falling apart? so, yes, there's no doubt about that. to your point about paul manafort, though. you do need to bring in professionals. you need to bring in people who have done this before. you need to have more than $1.3 million in the bank, which is what -- you know, a paltry, at best sum. you need to have an organization right now. and they do not have a large

ground operation to go head-to-head with hillary clinton. >> let's put up the number. we have a full screen with the difference in the size of team. which is part of function and money, part of planning. this is your money. but look at the size of the staff, clinton's staff is over 650 people. it is ten times the size of trump's. we'll keep the money up there, because i guess that's the explanation of it. but take my word for it. his staff is -- >> there you go. >> there you go. cuomo doesn't lie. that's part a function of money, but it's part not a function of money. let's not kid ourselves, all right? this is not about trump's kids. they have no experience in politics. they've never been in a campaign. i've lived through a dozen of them and i'm telling you, the kids don't make the call. you have a situation here where you have to find a reason to change this man, going into the general. now that is clear. lewandowski's out, fine. how do they change who donald trump is? >> that's a great question. >> i don't know if that's really

what is behind a lot of those numbers, though. paul manafort was going to do this anyway. we know the way a campaign works, we have different phases. we have someone who will get you through the liftoff stage or the early primaries. that's who corey lewandowski was. it turned into a big regional campaign. then you have the convention, who is a whole other specialty. that's why paul manafort was initially brought in, and then you have the last sprint to the finish. and that is another sort of person. so you've got -- lewandowski, from what i've heard from trump's people, he was going to get sidelined anyway. we just thought it was going to happen in the convention, after the convention, not quite so suddenly. but as far as building up the staff, i mean, look, this is where not donald trump so much himself personally, but the fact he doesn't have a lot of support. when we have talked over the months and the weeks that he doesn't have senators supporting him, he doesn't have governors supporting him, you know what you get with that? you get staff. you get people who were sort of

deputyized to you, who were maybe on somebody else's payroll. so you can build out a staff and make something happen and start to play in all of the different states where hillary clinton is already out organizing. >> the staff is a big deal, but do me a favor, put that into context with this. when paul manafort did his introductory interview to the race, came here on "new day" and did the interview. one of the first things he said was, this man couldn't have more experience, couldn't have more pedigree in the highest levels of this campaign. he said, trump's got to be trump. nobody tells trump what to do. that's exactly what you need in that campaign, though. so you think manafort was just plague politi playing politics here but behind the scenes, he's dropping the hammer? >> yes, i do. and that was the beginning, and now he has more experience internally on what he needs to do and the number of things they need to do. the list could go through here to the end of the table. >> it's a big table. >> it's a huge table. >> we had it specially built. >> for the list?

so the thing that i'm told is that paul manafort is the guy who keeps saying to trump, you've got to be more presidential. and it was corey saying, you know, let trump be trump. and he's a thoroughbred, just get on and ride. which is not really what you always need to do -- >> it worked, though. >> it worked in the primaries, which is why corey was so dead set on trying to keep that going, because he saw the instincts that trump had, and they, for the most part, for the republican primary electorate, were dead hon. the question is -- >> but judge curiel and the numbers -- >> the general election is a different situation. >> yeah. stand by, we're going to talk about some of these numbers and what they do moving forward and the weaknesses for both and what's really hurt them. partisan gridlock proving to be more powerful than the will of the people. four gun control bills failing to pass in the senate on monday. now the focus shifts to a fifth plan floated by the republican senator from maine, susan

collins. >> reporter: this plan is aimed at splitting the difference between a democratic bill that failed yesterday and a republican plan. this gives people denied a sale a right to appeal. now, the nra has not endorsed the plan, but one veteran republican, lindsey graham, told me yesterday, he's getting behind it. >> i think it's the sweet spot, substantively and politically. we limit the list of the no-fly list and to the secondary screening list. we're talking about hundreds of americans, not thousands. and if you're on that list, there's a reason you're on it. and, so, hopefully we can find a compromise that will get 60 votes. >> but the nra's not on board with us? >> that's okay. >> it's unclear when this will get a vote. but top senators in both parties were downright skeptical about the plan yesterday. so its prospects appear grim at best. and in the aftermath of the

failed gun votes yesterday, the rhetoric grew even nares. senator elizabeth warren citing her colleague, chris murphy's comments, tweeting, chris murphy said it right. the senate gop have decided to sell weapons to isis. now, this comes as a new cnn/orc poll shows 55% favoring stricter gun laws, compared to 45% who don't, and that's the highest update since after the 2012 shootings in newtown, connecticut. chris? >> all right, manu, but there's some kind of disconnect, isn't there? because we've had this conversation so many times. we'll get inside that legislative battle a little bit more, but we are going to keep focused on why we just saw this huge change inside the trump campaign. and we have a new national poll that tells a big part of this story. what's the spread between clinton and trump and why? and this new factor, a third-party candidate may well have an effect on the race. we're going to talk about the issues, the numbers, and you're

going to know more in just a second. can think about is getting relief. only nicorette mini has a patented fast-dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. i never know when i'll need relief. that's why i only choose nicorette mini. do you really know what it means? no. the answer is no. because it's complicated and science-y. but with my nutrition mixes, you don't have to worry about the science. you can just put it in your pie hole. planters. nutrition starts with nut.

all right. new numbers for you this morning. how's that coffee taste? >> it's not coffee.

>> i don't want to know what that is, actually. moving on, hillary clinton up five points against donald trump in a new cnn poll just out this morning. there is more to this poll, including good news for donald trump on the issues most important to american voters. let's bring them all back in. mark preston, errol louis and dana bash, beginning with the spread you mentioned earlier, the new cnn/orc numbers here. if you were to choose between clinton or trump for president, 47% would choose clinton over 42% choosing trump. my question to you, dana bash, do you think that is because of the trump's comments on the judge and missteps of which there have been many, or is clinton just stronger? >> clinton is clearly stronger at this point. i actually think that maybe a way to look at it is given all that we are talking about, why isn't she further. >> yes! >> and so i also think that that

speaks to some or a lot of the frustration among republicans, because they believe they are running against a very weak candidate. and that donald trump and his campaign continuously misses the point and is allowing her, as you said earlier, to define him. but also to set the narrative and the conversation in the race, about what she wants to talk about, as opposed to what republicans want to talk about. all the reasons why they think she should not be president. >> so why isn't she doing better? >> because i think this is a fundamentally split country. and i think that she -- and if you look kind of deeper at the questions of popularity and favorability, they both have major issues. and major weak spots on those questions. >> i think there's absolutely no question about it, preston. it's surprising that with everything that she has going for her, we showed you the numbers before, the money, ten times the staff, the pedigree, the reputation, this is a battle

of less worse. it just is. everybody tells you the same thing. you guys all hear this all the time from people on the street. 47-42 and it's because of the negatives between the both of them. are you surprised by these numbers? what do you think ends up being a catalyst coming out of them. >> huge negatives for both candidates. a race to the bottom. >> we've never had candidates with these high of negatives. never. >> and the voters aren't necessarily excited by either candidate. here's what it is. when we talk about staff, you know, our viewers might say, why are they talking about staff. why does that matter? donald trump can write himself a check. he only had $1 million in the bank. here's the issue. you need staff to knock on doors, to make the phone calls, to try to volunteer on behalf of the candidate. right, if you look at the numbers right now, it's only a five-point spread and donald trump should be very happy about that, with but this poll is just a snapshot in time for this moment. the staff, the money, all that

plays in down the road. that is only an advantage to hillary clinton. the most important thing out of this poll is the messaging that we've seen. and two numbers that pop out, one is who's temperamentally better suited to be in the white house. right now, hillary clinton has a huge lead over donald trump when it comes to that issue. and that's why she keeps on criticizing him on that. but on the other side, who's more honest and trustworthy? well, guess what, donald trump bests hillary clinton by eight points on that. their messaging, if you listen to them, is working. >> smack preston down with these -- >> i'll go there right there with you. >> so where trump is doing really, really well are two areas where americans really, really care, terrorism and economy, right? so we have numbers and you can see exactly how people feel, who handle the economy better, up 51% for trump, and then also on terrorism, a slightly smaller margin there, but still trump favorable. we know that hillary clinton has this economy speech later this morning, the all-important state of ohio.

can she appeal to the middle class? >> well, she has to. and another good thing that has come out of this poll is that she does better than donald trump on a couple of key issues, immigration, no big surprise. but on trade, and he has been trying to hit her very hard on trade and his path to victory, if you talk to some of his advisers is through pennsylvania and ohio and wisconsin, and what have you. but if she's going to do better on trade, on that issue, which we've seen in this poll, that that is, that's a big warning sign for donald trump. >> errol, when you look at this. he's ahead on terror and economics, why? a little bit business background, but people are unhappy. she's the status quo in the minds of a lot of voters, he is different in the minds of a lot of voters. so how does that play into your reckoning of a third party? if that's the state of play, we're really angry and frustrated and want something different, we want viability. >> there's viability if they make economics their selling point. i interviewed bill well just the

other day and there was very little said about that, frankly. there's a lot of talk about getting a thousand agents and let's go find isis and let's talk about foreign policy. very little about how do you revive the economy. and something else that's worse talking about is we were all in tampa four years ago, where the republicans tried to make the case that the economy is sluggish, the economy could be better, we have to do x, y, and z. and in the end, the public didn't buy it. i mean, the economy, while faltering, while sluggish, while not what people hoped it would be is not crashing and burning. and the polls all show it. >> then why is trump up, healthy, 51-43 over here on it? >> well, there's healthy, and then there's "we've got to throw the incumbent" if you see clinton as an incumbent "throw the bums out, let's make a fundamental change." i don't know if the numbers support people feeling in a very strong way that we're completely on the wrong track and everything has to change. the approval ratings for the president suggest that.

people are not all that unhappy. >> still, 16%, looking at that, add those two independent candidates in, it's not nothing. >> sure, you've got johnson, the former new mexico governor, who's with bill well now at top of the libertarian ticket. and a lot of you were looking at the screen going, who's right behind him? jill stein? she's the green party candidate. so you have 16% there. that's obviously a piece that's significant. we'll talk about that even more. why? because, well, so many of you keep saying, if there were anybody else, i wish there were somebody else. well, there are els. you just saw two of them. and tomorrow night we're going to have the cnn libertarian town hall. you'll get to meet who governors johnson and weld are and were and are promising to be now. it's going to be live tomorrow night, 9:00 eastern, only on cnn. >> okay. perfect. thank you all very much. appreciate it. it is a sight you never want to see at a birthday party. a bounce house, here we go again, goes airborne. so close to power lines. wait until you see where it ended up. that is next.

all right. so the man accused of trying to

take a police officer's gun saturday at a donald trump rally in vegas apparently wanted to kill the presumptive gop nominee. that is according to a new criminal complaint. police say 19-year-old michael sanford told them he'd be planning to kill trump for about a year. stanford is british and reportedly has been living in the u.s. illegally. >> thank you. >> all right, the biggest verdict yet in the freddie gray case in baltimore set to come down this thursday morning. that is when the judge says he will read his verdict in cesar goodson's trial. remember, he is the only police officer facing murder charges. prosecutors claim goodson drove a police van erratically with freddie gray in the back, handcuffed, shackled in the back, without a seat belt, causing gray to die from a broken neck. all right. here is the video that has gone viral and for good reason. this bouncy castle. you know, birthday parties, you see them all the time. you want to go in, you can't. >> that a castle in a house?

>> that's exactly what it is. a council, it's good. so they put it there and it flies away again. another one, you see it like this. >> no kids. >> no kids inside. very important, very important. but look how high this thing went, and look at what's around it. we'll play some of this. >> oh! >> stuck in the power lines. this was in upstate new york. the house eventually landed on those wires there, so no one inside, as bb said, that's important to remember, nobody inside, nobody hurt. but we keep hearing these stories, and we did a little digging a while ago into this. and so why does this happen? why does this happen? >> because people aren't holding them down? that's it? >> it's all about the service, the company, the people, if it's not privately done by the family -- >> they're just not doing it. >> you've got to do it the right

way. and if you don't -- >> i think there would be some bleeps in my video if i saw that myself. >> god forbid if you had kids in it. you know, luckily, that's not the way it goes. >> thank goodness. so there's that. also, orlando, transcripts from a 911 call by the orlando nightclub killer released to the public by the fbi. but the bureau, the department of justice, they're under fire for certain details they had originally held back. we'll talk about those transcripts and their significance ahead here on "new day." you don't let anything keep you sidelined.

with details. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. as you can see behind me, the street outside of the pulse nightclub has been at least partially reopened. there's still a pretty heavy police presence here. investigators still on the scene. we've learned that later today, they're going to be joined by attorney general loretta lynch who's going to be meeting with the families affected by the shootings. and she'll meet with prosecutors to go over evidence in this case, evidence that yesterday was at the center of a political controversy because of details that the fbi redacted. about a half hour into his shooting spree inside pulse nightclub, the killer calls 911. in a 50-second phone call he says, quote, i'm in orlando and i did the shootings. >> he did so in a chilling, calm, and deliberate manner. >> reporter: when asked his name, he replies, "my name is i pledge allegiance to abu bakr al baghdadi of the islamic state."

>> part of the redacting is meant to not give credence to individuals who have done terrorist acts in the past. we're not going to propagate their rushing, their violent rhetoric. >> but republican leaders like house speakers paul ryan accuse the obama administration of minimizing the threat and the fbi later released an unredacted version. by 2:48, the first hostage negotiations begin, over a span of three phone calls, lasting 28 minutes, the killer calls himself an islamic soldier and demands that america stop bombing syria and iraq. he claims a vehicle outside has some bombs, telling negotiates, i'm going to ignite it if they try to do anything stupid. after questions about tactics, orlando police continue to defend their actions during the three-hour standoff. >> our officers were within the club within minutes, exchanged gunfire with the suspect, forced him to stop shooting and retreat into the bathroom. >> reporter: two hours into the standoff, police pull an air

conditioner out of a dressing room window, rescuing eight hostages. shortly after, rescued survivors say the killer had threatened to put suicide vests on four hostages. and just after 5:00 a.m., s.w.a.t. teams breached the building. shots are fired and a minute later, the killer is dead. it remains unclear if any of the hostages were hit by friendly fire. >> those killings are on the suspect. and on the suspect alone, in my mind. all that will be investigated. >> reporter: all right, boris sanchez, thank you very much. let's stay on what's happening in orlando. joining me now, evan perez, and phillip mudd, counterterrorism official. gentleman, good morning. and before we talk about the specifics from that call, evan, let me just turn to you, and talk to me a little bit about your reporting, about what you've learned about the shooter at a gun range. how he was apparently using this weapon just weeks before he murdered all those people. and about the potential loophole

in the fact that he had a firearm after his job changed. >> that's right, brooke. in the weeks before the shooting, the shooter practiced with the six-hour rifle. this is the rifle that he used to kill many of those people in the orlando pulse nightclub. and one of the things that the staff noticed was that at least a period of time that he was practicing, he was shooting from the hip. and that's not allowed. a lot of gun ranges will stop you from doing that. it's not safe. the proper way is to shoot while aiming from the shoulder. and so they scolded him. and after the shooting, they were able to find the video and turn it over to the fbi, which is now reviewing it. as far as the firearm, we know that there was a third firearm that he had with him. this was in his car, and it belonged to the company that employed him, g4s in ft. pierce. they say even though he had been moved to an armed guard position to an unarmed position, they didn't take away his firearm,

partly because, they y, at any time, even unarmed guards may be called to do armed duty. that's the reason why they say he kept it. >> that's new information on the shooter and this gun. but to this 911 call, so we know a couple of call were made to 911 and then the police negotiators jumped in as well and there was some back and forth on that. let me just read a piece of his call. keep in mind, what i'm about to read for you, some pieces were redacted. he calls 911, dispatcher emergency, 911, this is being recorded. he says in the name of god, the merciful, the beneficial -- he's speaking in arabic. this dispatcher says what? he says, praise to be to god and prayers as well as peace upon the prophet of god. i let you know, i'm in orlando and i did the shootings. >> the dispatcher, what's your name? my name is i pledge allegiance to abu bakr al baghdadi of the islamic state.

they say it's ridiculous the name was redacted by the fbi and the name "isis" was redacted by the fbi. we heard last week comey, the head of the fbi, had already said all of this. so why hold it back yesterday? >> there's a couple of things going on here. someone who's spent about 30 years in washington, i think you have to live in washington to understand this. because both sides are a bit unrealistic. as you're saying, before the redacted transcript was released, we knew he had pledged allegiance to isis and isis had already talked about the attack. so it wasn't like -- >> it was already out there. >> that's exactly right. i think the department of justice, and i served there, overthought this. i understand why they did this, the story'sous. you might as well release the transcript. i think what they did was, at least on the surface, was justifiable. they made a good faith effort to do something they thought would limit propaganda by isis. i thought calling this preposterous by the other side, by the speaker, was ridiculous. it was a good faith effort, changed it later in the day. no big deal. move on to something more

significant. like what happened here, like grieving with the families, this is a washington story. >> okay. let's move on, since that's sort of moot now. i just want to get to both of you. evan, what is -- you know, everything that we don't know, what is your number one question still on the investigation? >> really, the thing that is not answered in this transcript that was released is the motive. i mean, we know that he says he's pledging allegiance to isis, but there's still all these unanswered questions about his mental state. we know that there are people who have come forward, who have said that they saw him on gay dating apps. there is -- what's remarkable or what's missing in here -- >> no mention of the lbgt community. >> right. no mention of the lbgt community, any mention that he hates gays. so we we were looking for that, because we thought that perhaps that might be answered in these transcripts. it's not in there. so the fbi is frankly still digging to make sure they fully understand what's happening here. and of course, you know, the

bottom of all of this is is the fact that these things are irrational. so we're trying to apply rational thought to something that by its nature is not. >> all right. evan perez, thank you, sir. phil mudd, thank you, as always. chris cuomo, to you. >> all right. over the pond is a big decision to be made in britain. what are they going to do? are they going to leave the european union? it's just two days before the big brexit vote. and there's a big debate set for tonight. we're going to give you a live report from london, because what happens in that vote will matter back here. think fixing your windshield is a big hassle? not with safelite. this family needed their windshield replaced, but they're daughters heart was set on going to the zoo. so we said if you need safelite to come to the zoo we'll come to the zoo! only safelite can fix your windshield anywhere in the us. with our exclusive mobileglassshops. and our one of a kind trueseal technology, for a reliable bond. service that fits your schedule. that's another safelite advantage. ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

all right. just two days until the british people have to decide if they want to remain in the european union or break away. now, this decision is going to have big affects across the globe. so let's bring in cnn international correspondent, phil black, live in london with the latest. what is the state of play, my friend? >> chris, it is still so very close. the polls are still so tight, it is really too close to call. as you say, just two days of campaigning left. so in that context, tonight's final television debate is potentially quite crucial. it's going to be before an audience of 6,000 people at wembley arena in london, it could get a little rowdy, and both sides will be looking to try to secure a clear result, score some clear points. what we've been seeing in the final days are both sides doubling down on their key messages. for those who want to stay in the eu, led by the prime minister david cameron, they are talking about this being a lifelong decision, one with

potentially disastrous consequences for the british economy. those in favor of britain leaving the eu, the brexit camp, they say this is all about controlling immigration, returning sovereignty to britain. you really can't overestimate the strength of political feeling in this country at the moment, especially after that tragedy last week. the shooting death of the mp jo cox, who favors sticking with the eu, knifed and shot by a man who was said to be calling out "this is for britain." it's a highly emotional time, because so much is at stake. it's not just a general election, it's about the direction of the country for decades to come. brooke, back to you. >> all right. phil, we'll watch it on thursday. thank you very much in london. coming up next here, a new concern about lone wolf attacks in the wake of the orlando shooting. similar concerns around the world, as well. we'll preview tonight's cnn special report on the paris terror attacks, next. en consults books at laquinta.com. he gets a ready for you alert the second his room is ready. so he knows exactly when he can settle in and think big.

and when josh thinks big you know what he gives? i'll give you everything i've got and then some... he gives a hundred and ten percent! i'm confident this 10% can boost your market share. look at that pie chart! boom! you've never seen a number like that! you feel me lois? i'm feeling you. yeah you do! let's do this! watch out he just had a whole thimble full of coffee... woot! woot! the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com. la... quinta! yeah!

all right. law enforcement officials are facing the very real threat of lone wolves following terror attacks in orlando and san bernardino. and to be honest, we're all facing that threat, right? because these are attacks on people, not institutions. so what have we learned and how do we apply it going forward? let's discuss with cnn terrorism analyst and editor in chief of the ctc sentinel, paul cruickshank. paul, always good to see you.

the threat here is frustrating and frightening to the civilian population. the lone wolve, orlando, san bernardino, people who are citizens, not on any lists. not with open cases, who find enthusiasm in the ugliest of ideas and then take action in a place where they can get guns. how do you stop that? >> very difficult, because if these individuals are not in some conspiracy, they don't have organizational links to a terrorist group overseas, they're not communicating with a terrorist group overseas, there are fewer pointers for the fbi in terms of stopping these plots. there are some pointers in some of these cases, obviously in the omar mateen case, there were several pointers, because he was investigated in 2013 and 2014. and so, there was a feeling that he could, perhaps, be somebody that had become radicalized. but in other cases, there have been really no points at all. like we saw with san bernardino and some other examples in the

united states, when these people were really just not on the radar screen at all. >> now, paul, one of the reasons that i have you here this morning is tonight, the documentary that you're the point man in for us will air. terror in paris. and although it is focused on what happened there, it's about the themes, the problems, the concerns, the investigative challenges that come out of these types of attacks, as made manifest in paris and now here in orlando. here's a clip. >> 20 minutes after they first arrived a to the bataclan concert hall, there are two local police who got a call that something was going on, that there was violence inside. that they needed to go there as quick lly as possible. >> reporter: armed only with handguns, the two police officers enter the venue. >> and when these two police first come in, they engage in a firefight with one of the hostage takers.

they manage to kill him. as he falls to the ground and rolls on the floor, he blows himself up with his suicide vest. >> i remember the terrorist blowing himself up, the sound of the explosion, you know? a ringing in your ears. >> you heard the guy explode his belt? >> yeah. yeah yeah. >> reporter: the officers are forced to retreat and wait for help. the attackers move to a more secure position, deep inside the building. >> at that point, the attackers, the two surviving hostage takers, take a dozen or so hostages into a corridor, an l-shaped corridor, as described by eyewitnesss, where they barricade themselves. >> now, paul, we never like to relive the worst circumstances, unless we can learn. when you were side by side with me in paris, so much of the discussion was about what had happened in that nightclub, that dynamic, the insurgency by the

police, the timing. and then we see in orlando, a very similar outcome. and there had always been the idea that, well, they'll do it different the next time. they'll go right in, they won't wait for somebody like this. what do you learn from one event to the next? >> well, i think the lesson learned from both of the paris attacks and the orlando attacks is that these powerful weapons can result in just a horrific number casualties in paris that night, over a hundred people killed in orlando, almost 50 people being killed. these terrorist groups and their supporters are moving away from bombs and moving towards launching attacks with high-powered weapons. in europe, it's possible for these terrorist recruits to get those weapons on the black market. sometimes, for as little as a thousand euro, about a thousand

dollars more or less. in the united states, much easier to get the guns, because you can legally get the guns in many cases, very, very powerful weapons. while there are fewer radicals in the united states, they have much easier access to guns. and the concern moving forward is we'll have more of these shoot-outs, more of these hostage situations in the united states. the fbi right now investigating about a thousand people, a thousand different cases linked to radical extremism in the united states, concern that some of those people or people not on the radar screen may try to do what the orlando shooter did. >> and paul, as you know, with the fbi, a lot of them aren't open cases, so they don't have the authority at the agency to stop gun purchases. it's a complicated situation. we don't know if we'll get any progress. paul, thank you very much. i must direct you to watch this tonight. boy, this cnn special report, terror in paris. it is really a comprehensive look at why things happen there

the way they did through the eyes of the people who understand this problem the best. so tonight, 9:00 p.m. eastern, cnn, terror in paris. there's a lot of news this morning. there's is a big headline out of the trump campaign. there's a new poll to tell you about. let's get to it. i'm really proud of him, but we're going to go ain't will of a different route. >> family intervention. >> his children were very forceful in saying it's time for corey lewandowski to leave. >> i think what you have is a transition in the campaign. >> trump is way behind his democratic opponent. >> you need to have more than $1.3 million in the bank. the fbi released the full 911 transcripts after political uproar. >> my name is i pledge allegiance to abu bakr al baghdadi of the islamic state. >> everything that he did was calculated to buy himself time to kill more people. new rules will open america's airspace to widespread commercial drone use. >> it's a really massive moment in aviation history.

>> what happens when a drone falls from the sky? >> announcer: this is "new day" with chris cuomo and allison camarata. >> i was on vacation lately and had some friends had a drone fall out of the sky in the back of their area. they're kind of everywhere now. >> look, very cool, a lot of applications to commerce and our private lives. also going to be problems. we're going to see all of it and show it to you. >> oh, good. good morning, welcome to your new day. alisyn is off. brooke baldwin joins me here. we have big fuse coming out of the trump campaign. they're hitting the reset button less than four weeks before the republican national convention. and by hitting the reset button, i mean, firing someone. campaign manager corey lewandowski goes down. sources telling cnn that trump's children pushed him out. we're going to weigh that theory. lewandowski speaking out himself to cnn in an extensive interview, opening up about his

abrupt departure and the campaign's serious fund-raising troubles. >> we have that for you this morning. meantime, a new cnn national poll just out this morning on the state of the 2016 race, how does trump stack up against hillary clinton and who do americans think really is the best to deal with terrorism in the wake of what we saw with what happened in orlando. we have the campaign covered for you the only way cnn can. let's begin with our chief political correspondent, dana bash. good morning again. >> good morning again, brooke. look, the hope among republican officials is that trump getting rid of his controversial campaign manager will mean a move toward a bit of a more traditional campaign organization, one many say is desperately needed. but donald trump has never been a political candidate without corey lewandowski by his side and in his ear. so the test now is whether the presumptive gop nominee will or can turn his campaign around. >> what happened? why were you fired?

>> i don't noknow. i don't know the answer to that. >> reporter: but the answer according to multiple sources, is the lack of campaign infrastructure and heated power struggles, which all led trump's family to say enough. >> sources i've talked to and others who i've talked to said that they described you as a hothead and that you didn't treat people right. what do you say to that? >> i think i'm a very intense person and my expectation is perfection. because i think that's what mr. trump deserves. i had a nice conversation with mr. trump and said to him, it's been an honor and a privilege to be part of this. and i mean that from the bottom of my heart. >> reporter: cnn is told trump watched lewandowski's interview as happened live a few hours after he was fired. trump later expressed his appreciation as he talked about moving on. >> he's a good man. we've had great success. he's a friend of mine. but i think it's time now for a

different kind of a campaign. >> that different kind of campaign is one with paul manafort lewandowski's nemesis, now firmly at the helm. cnn is told internally manafort's mantra is that trump must act more presidential while lewandowski kept saying, let trump be trump. >> sources from the -- from in and around the campaign have told us that they thought that you were feeding mr. trump's worst instincts. if there was a plan in place, post-primary, now that he's trying to pivot to the general, is in the general, that you would get on the plane with him and undercut that plan and bring out his worst instinct. how do you respond to that? >> i say, what interest would i have in doing that? >> the suggestion is it's just who you are. >> but, look, if donald trump wins, that's good for corey lewandowski. and it's good for the country. >> reporter: lewandowski made clear to cnn that he supported trump's controversial response to the orlando shooting. >> and goes boom, boom. >> reporter: and disparaging a judge presiding over a fraud case involving trump university.

>> this judge is of mexican heritage. i'm building a wall, okay? >> reporter: the question is now whether trump will tone down his rhetoric with his like-minded campaign manager out. cnn is told it's that plus anemic fund-raising and lack of campaign structure that alarmed trump's children. >> my boys, eric and don, they've been working so hard. ivanka and jared have been amazing. >> reporter: and they all played an instrumental role in ousting lewandowski, especially daughter ivanka and son-in-law, jared kushner, a real estate whiz and publisher. >> can you tell me about your relationship with him? >> i've had a great relationship with jared. he's helped us from the onset of having a better online presence. being aggressive in a good way. he understands a different component than i understand. >> reporter: cnn is told kushner will now be even more influential in trying to right

the trump campaign ship. >> now, lewandowski was in charge of fund-raising, which is a new phenomenon for trump, who spent his own money on his primary campaign, but the general election is so different, it could be $1 billion enterprise, and trump is way behind his democratic opponent. look at these numbers. hillary clinton in the bank $42 million. donald trump, $1.3 million. as for their super pacs, you see there, hillary clinton has $52 million in hers. donald trump's allies have only half a million dollars in theirs. i mean, in political standards, you guys both know this, this kind of money is nothing. peanuts. >> there are those numbers, dana, thank you very much, and there are these numbers i want to share with you here this morning. this new cnn poll puts hillary clinton over donald trump here by five points, in a head-to-head matchup, was it's no blowout and the margins get even tighter when you factor in

third party options. cnn's senior political correspondent brianna keilar is live in columbus with more. brianna, talk to me about hillary clinton's speech a little later this morning in the all-important state of ohio. >> reporter: very important state. and those poll numbers are really interesting, as you mentioned, brooke, because they do tighten up to four points when you add in those third party candidates. her speech here in ohio today is an answer to one of the problems she's facing. if you look at the latest cnn/orc poll, where voters are asked, who do you think would do the best job when it comes to the economy, hillary clinton is trailing by eight points. donald trump gets 51%, hillary clinton, 43. this is a big deficit when you're talking about the issue that voters say matters to them the most and that the clinton campaign thinks will ultimately be the issue that motivates them the most in november. so today in ohio, hillary clinton, we're told, is going to make the case that donald trump is unfit to deal with the economy. in conjunction with the speech

she'll be giving here later this morning, the campaign rolling out a video, rolling out a website called artofthesteal.biz, a negative take on donald trump's book, where they and she today will take aim at donald trump's ventures, from trump steaks to trump vodka to his casinos and bankruptcies there. we saw earlier this month that she made the case, chris, that he's unfit to deal with foreign policy. that was a foreign policy speech, we were told, but it ended up being more like a roast of donald trump. so perhaps an indication of what we're going to see hillary clinton talking about today when it comes to the economy. >> risk in that, brianna, because part of that campaign, the clinton campaign, is supposed to be that they won't play the game the way trump does. that she's going to be about ideas and unity. if she just comes out and bashes trump, is she really that different? let's discuss what's going on in the trump campaign and this new poll. we have cnn political commentators, jeffrey lord, trump supporter and former

reagan white house political director, and kayleigh mcenany, also a trump support. kayleigh, i'll start with you. my supposition, you should feel good you're only down against clinton given all the tumult you've had in the last few weeks, the money disadvantage, the staff disadvantage, or am i wrong? >> i think that's absolutely correct. when you look at the cnn poll and factor in gary johnson, it's one point from being within the margin of error. this is an open race with two candidates with unfavorable ratings. this is a very outside election year. this is not, you know, an immensely popular president running against donald trump. this is an unpopular candidate with a lot of scandals behind her running against donald trump in an unconventional election year. >> people keep saying, i'm sure you hear it as well, that this choice is coming down to who's less worse for people. a little bit of a reflection of how negative the campaign is, as well. so jeffrey, what happened? corey lewandowski, the engine, the train that could, now out

and it's being put on the backs of the children. do you buy that? give me some insight? >> yeah, you know, i don't have any particular inside information here on this, but i do find it fascinating here with the kids. chris, i don't need to tell you, of all people, that there are families in american political life that really take to politics. the cuomos, the bushes, the kennedys, the clintons. i'm wondering here if we're beginning to see the emerge of the trump family in that sense, where these kids who are really terrific kids, are taking on good, you know, senior roles here. they've got their dad's confidence. they're involved in things here, and whether or not they're going to play more of a role, if so, i think that's terrific. >> let me ask you something. do you believe that anybody tells donald trump what to say and how to be? because the theory of the case here is, lewandowski kept putting these notions in donald trump's head to be bombastic and, you know, to be the kind of

outrageous guy that he is, for better and worse. do you buy that? >> no, i really do think that donald trump is his own best adviser here. sometimes pro, sometimes to the negative, i suppose. i think that's true of every candidate out there. one of the things that i've observed about him, he is a very good listener. he really does pay attention and he's also very competitive. he wants to win. you know, we make light of this and people caricature this, you know, what we're going to have so much winning and this kind of thing, but it really is a reality with him. and so, i'm not at all surprised at this move in the sense if he feels that there's something that's not right for him, he will change it on the spot because he does want to win. >> all right, so lewandowski is out, for better or worse. paul manafort, a man that jeffrey lord and i both know very well is clearly at the reins. a seasoned pro. yet on the show, his inaugural interview he did when he came on to the tv, he said, nobody tells

trump what to do. he is who he is. he has to do things differently, as the supposition that's coming out of supporters like you, out of the polling. how do you get donald trump to be different? and if you could, if he called you up and said, mcenany, you've got the rains, what do you want me to do? what would he do differently? >> i think he has changed a lot. look, we've come a long way from the days when he was retweeting. and i think that's something that was so good about his candidacy -- >> also known as yesterday, kayleigh. >> i'm talking about the heidi cruz retweet. he's learned along the way, he's not a politician. that's what people love about him. and paul manafort is the perfect person to do this, because we need who understands, let trump be trump. yes, that is his biggest asset, being off the cuff, being this rogue person, but also be within a conventional campaign structure that can raise money, that has a ground operation, that has microtargeting. paul manafort can do that. >> but why isn't he raising the money? part of it is systemic. that's true. the organization. but part of it is shock factor

by the deep pockets, right, jeffrey? you know these guys who are out there. there's a lot of scared money on the sidelines right now, where they want to get involved, they don't want a clinton, but they don't feel comfortable getting money to trump when all of these different controversies arise. how do you overcome that? >> right, well, i do think that you lean on the people, people like paul manafort. and one of the things i've tried to say from the get-go, as we were in the early stages of this, and people would say, well, why doesn't he have this, and why doesn't he have that in terms of advisers and et cetera, and i would say that, look, as the presidential campaign gains steam and succeeds, it mimics the office of the presidency itself and traditional campaigns. we're at that stage. it's do or die in that sense. so, donald trump is going to expand here. he's going to transition. i do think the money will flow, but they've got to get on the stick. there's no question about it.

>> change is the hardest thing in life, right? on any level. even if it's like a diet, people can't do it. these are fundamental response, reaction, and personality changes all put into this one word, presidential. why do you believe donald trump can be more presidential, kayleigh. >> he wants to sidetrack and wants to talk about the economy and people ask him about all sorts of things. he needs to learn to pivot back to the economy, to terrorism. i don't think donald trump fundamentally needs to change. i think he has a positive agenda that is good for this country. i think he needs to learn to stick to those issues and not take faith that's given to him. >> you will always be asked questions when you're running for president. >> you will. >> that's what you answer -- >> it's fair to ask the questions, no doubt about it. >> jeffrey, last word. >> one thing, you know history, i know history. you remember the dewey campaign.

and harry truman went out there as a sitting president and earned the nickname, give 'em hell harry and it was said to be undignified. and so you do feed to be careful about this. >> it's true. but at the end of it, all of these dynamics come back to the same thing. people want the best version of themselves, to lead them. that's what they want. what that's going to be in this campaign, we just don't know. because there's no best anything. it's coming out of either of these campaigns. kayleigh, jeffrey, thank you very much, as always. >> thanks, chris! >> big news out of the campaign this morning. now, in just a few minutes, we'll talk to michelle fields. you'll remember that name. she's the former breitbart reporter, said she was assaulted by corey lewandowski. that case went away, but what is her take on lewandowski and what just happened? coming up. all right, so we have that ahead. chris, thank you. gridlock, meantime, in congress on gun control. you have these four separate bills, two sponsored by democrats, two sponsored by republicans, all failing to pass

in the sit-in on monday. now, a fifth plan to keep weapons out of the hands of terror suspects has been floated by republican senator susan collins of maine. her proposal would target a much smaller group of gun buyers on terror watch lists and adds provisions for an appeals process. meantime, the supreme court declining to hear challenges to assault weapon bans in connecticut and new york. connecticut broadened it law after the sandy hook school shooting in 2012, of course. gun rights activists say their changes violate the second amendment. they plan to challenge the law when the court has nine justices again. and funeral services are planned today for the 2-year-old little boy killed by the alligator at disney world last week. funeral services will be held for lane graves at a church in nebraska. a wake was held for him yesterday. disney has since added a roped fence and new signage to that water, that lagoon area, warning

of gators and snakes. >> of all of the things parents worry about, you never think you would go through something like that. there was a very rare event in the sky last night. the so-called strawberry moon, the nickname for june's full moon. this year, it coincides with the summer solstice. that is the longest day of the year, and the official start of summer, not memorial day, as brooke baldwin tells everybody. the full moon and solstice coming the same night as a once in a lifetime thing for a lot of us. it hasn't happened since 1967 and won't happen again until -- >> and i had to go to bed to hang out with you this morning? is that how that worked? >> that's why you got to stay up and get a little of this action under your eyes. >> so beautiful, so beautiful. >> so happy to be here. the latest poll numbers suggest advantage, hillary clinton. what do we make of her lead over donald trump and how do third party candidates factor in all of this? that is coming up next. >> all love for you.

live in paris. when you airbnb, you have your own home. so, live there. even if it's just for a night.

after some less-than-perfect

weeks, donald trump's poll numbers showing some signs of trouble. according to a cnn poll released just in the last hour, trump trails clinton by five. now, by the way, a lot of people will say, he's lucky to only be down five at this point, given the money, the staff differences between the two, and the last couple of weeks of what's come out of him. so the question is going to be, what do we see in this poll and what can it mean going forward? let's crunch some numbers, shall we? let's bring in the correspondents that cover these campaigns. dana bash, brianna keilar. the headline, bash, 47-42. clinton's up 5. they say, yay, only five? >> donald trump was just doing an interview that i was watching where he was saying just that, and, you know, normally i would say, okay, that's just candidate spin. but he's right. i mean, he has had about the worst few weeks that you can imagine for a general election candidate, for a whole host of reasons. the things that he's said, the

fact that his own party officials have been, you know, sort of taking aim at him, because they feel that he's not acting appropriately. >> really since becoming the nominee. >> exactly. >> which is his high point, you know what i mean? >> exactly. the fact that he's only five points down, i don't necessarily think shows his strength, as much as it shows his opponent's weakness, one that republicans don't think that he is taking advantage of enough. >> well, on weaknesses, brianna keilar, you know, we have the economy and terrorism, two issues that americans care the most about and they're both pluses in the trump column when you look at some of these numbers here, as far as who would better handle the economy, who would better handle terrorism. we know hillary clinton is speaking a little bit later this morning there where you are in columbus. how does she spin that? >> reporter: well, and this really speaks, as dana was talking about, to the weaknesses of hillary clinton. because when you look at someone's experience, when it comes to dealing with foreign policy and terrorism, clearly,

hillary clinton has a lot more. and yet she's trailing even on this issue of terrorism. she's trailing a lot more when you're talking about the economy. eight points in this latest cnn/orc poll against donald trump. that's part of the reason why she's here. she's taking him on, on the economy. there's this video and website out today. they want to close the gap on that number, because talking to the campaign, they say, dealing with foreign policy, this is something they think that speaks to donald trump's temperament, but when voters really go to the polls in november, it's the economy that they care about. so it's essential for her that she closes that gap. >> but the clinton campaign loves the t-word, temperament. because they see it as the umbrella quality that is obviously over everything that does matter. and they see this big plus for them in this poll, also. now, brianna, here's the problem with this. temperament is the big advantage. that's a good thing. why is it a problem? because it feeds a negative campaign if the weakness of your opponent is their temperament,

you're going to bash them personally. so we see a foreign policy speech, which is really just a roast of donald trump. we're hearing about an economic speech today. do you believe that it will be a plan for the country going forward, or a donald trump can't be president speech? >> i think it is going to be more of the latter. a few weeks ago, when she talked about foreign policy, there -- it was very broad details of what her plan was on the economy, or pardon me, on foreign policy, and it was much more a roast of donald trump. now, the difference is, and i think the way the campaign would say that they're not playing really donald trump's game, is what we saw, was that she used his words against him. she essentially quoted him the entire time, but if you watch the audience, there were boos, there were people on their feet, they were defying at some of the things she was saying. i think part of it, too, was the campaign thinks this is something that can really unify the party.

there are a lot of democrats who want an alternative to hillary clinton, but they are very against donald trump and so that is what she's playing to. >> and not just unify the party, but draw in the few people who are on the fence, for various reasons. >> all six of them? >> exactly. either it's because of their ideology, they're truly swing voters, or maybe more to the point we've been talking about all morning, they don't like either of these candidates and they don't necessarily think a third party is the way to go. having that overwhelming feeling that hillary clinton is trying to plant very deep in their souls, that donald trump would be bad for the country, because of his temperament, on a whole host of issues, that is what the clinton campaign is banking on. >> what about, also, you know, we've been watching so much the gender, the numbers on gender, and i want to throw some more numbers up, because it's not only is hillary clinton sort of soaring when it comes to female

voters, she's also closing the gap when it comes to men. what would trump need to do, dana, to change that? especially on women? >> on women? i think it's going to be an uphill climb for him. i think that there's no question that -- never mind that she is a female candidate, the first female nominee of a major party, i think even if it were a man at the top of the democratic ticket, because donald trump has had so many very well publicized, controversial statements and stories about him, vis-a-vis women, it's going to be hard for him to -- >> wouldn't putting ivanka out more help him. >> she's not running. >> but when you put it on the kid, it's hard. it's hard to put that kind of pressure on the children, to come out and say, it's different -- it's tough. >> and they've tried with his daughter and with his wife.

and look, as much as he is controversial among many women, i -- i mean, i cannot tell you how many trump rallies where i've been, where you have, you know, woman after woman after woman saying that they think that he is the right person, because they want what men want, which is somebody different in washington. >> right. >> okay. >> of course -- >> you can see hillary clinton making this, she's certainly building a little bit when it comes to men. and i think it speaks to what dana spoke about before, that hillary clinton is making this play for the middle. where hillary clinton is making these gains with men. these are white voters. these are moderates. this is what she's trying to do aside from just unifying the democratic party. >> okay. ladies, thank you. >> and look, what's clear, once again, is that people are not happy with the way things are in this country. they're not happy with the choices that they have for president. and that's why this talk of a third party keeps coming up. the libertarian ticket. the two governors, gary johnson, who was, of course, from new

mexico. bill weld, who was from massachusetts. they're at the top. people want to know more, we're going to tell you more. there's a town hall tomorrow night 9:00 eastern oonly on cnn. and once again, people will drive this conversation. we have more politics for you this morning. but let's also talk about what we know as far as the orlando shooting is concerned. we have new details revealed in the gunman's own words. what we're learning about the terrorist and his motivations from those fbi transcripts. that is next.

standoff with the nightclub attacker. cnn's boris sanchez is live in orlando with more. these questions have been out there from the beginning, but now deeper and provoking response. >> questions that need to be asked, chris. the street right outside the pulse nightclub is slowly reopening. investigators, as you can tell behind me, are still on the scene. later today, we're expecting attorney general loretta lynch to visit orlando. she's not only going to be visiting those families affected by the shooting, but with prosecutors to go over evidence in the case. evidence that yesterday sparked a huge controversy over details that the fbi redacted. >> about a half hour into his shooting spree inside pulse nightclub, the killer calls 911. in the 50-second phone call, he says, quote, i'm in orlando and i did the shootings. >> he did so in a chilling, calm, and deliberate manner. >> when asked his name, he replies, my name is i pledge

allegiance to abu bakr al baghdadi of the islamic state. baghdadi and isis both omitted by the fbi in its initial release of the transcript. >> part of the redacting is meant to not give credence to individuals who have done terrorist acts in the past. we're not going toropagate their rhetoric, their violent rhetoric. >> reporter: but republican leaders like house speaker paul ryan accuse the obama administration of minimizing the threat and the fbi later released an unredacted version. by 2:48, the first hostage negotiations begin. over a span of three phone calls, lasting 28 minutes, the killer calls himself an islamic soldier and demands that america stop bombing syria and iraq. he claims a vehicle outside has some bombs, telling negotiators, i'm going to ignite it if they try to do anything stupid. after questions about tactics, orlando police continue to defend their actions during the three-hour stand off. >> our officers were within the club within minutes, exchanged

gunfire with the suspect, forced him to stop shooting and retreat into the bathroom. >> reporter: two hours into the standoff, police pull an air-conditioner out of a dressing room window, rescuing eight hostages. shortly after, rescued survivors say the killer had threatened to put suicide vests on four hosta hostages. and just after 5:00 a.m., s.w.a.t. teams breached the building. shots are fired. and a minute later, the killer is dead. it remains unclear if any of the hostages were hit by friendly fire. >> those killings are on the suspect. and on the suspect alone, in my mind. all of that will be investigated. >> all right, boris sanchez, thank you very much, in orlando for us this morning. joining us now, cnn justice correspondent, evan perez, and art roderick with the u.s. marshals office. evan, let me begin with you. you've had so much great reporting here. before we get back to the transcripts, what else have you learned about the shooter?

>> well, brooke, we learned that a couple of weeks before the so shooting, he actually practiced with the sig sauer rifle, the rifle he used to carry out the killings there at the orlando nightclub. he was seen using the sig sauer, shooting it from his hip, which is improper, and a lot of gun ranges are stop you when they see that. it's unsafe, and they directed him he had to use it, you know, aiming from his shoulder. this is something that stuck in the minds of the employees. so after the shooting, they went back and found video of this and turned it over to the fbi. so the fbi now has that. we've also learned that at least an explanation from the company, g4s that employed him, as to why he still had a firearm. they had moved him from an armed security guard position to an unarmed position, but they say that at any time, they could ask an unarmed employee, a guard, to have to do armed duty. so that's the reason why they allowed him to keep the smith and wesson 38 revolver that was

found in the car, not one of the two firearms that was used in this mass killing. >> art, let me quickly follow up on that. that this was one of the guns they found in his car. he was -- you know, because of this dispute at work, he was not then an armed security guard yet president state of florida. he still had license to care. do you think that that's a problem? >> well, it's up to the company whether they wanted to take the weapon back or not. i mean, supposedly, they could have moved him on to another job that would require him to carry the weapon. so that's up to the company themselves. i don't see that as a big deal. the minute i heard it was a revolver and it was in the van, i figured that was his work weapon. >> yeah. the transcripts, the wafrt between, you know, between the shooter calling 911 and we'll throw the transcript up on the screen for you so you can understand that he calls, as we know, when he was holed up in the bathroom. dialed 911 himself. the dispatcher says, emergency, 911, this is being recorded. he says, speaking in arabic, in

the name of god, the merciful, the beneficial. the dispatcher, what? his response, praise be to god, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of god. i let you know, i'm in orlando and i did the shootings. and the fbi, when they came out initially, they had redacted the word "isis" and redacted the name abu bakr al baghdadi, even though that was out there last week from the head of the fbi. so why did they call so much attention on this? >> it was obviously a mistake on their part, because they corrected it very quickly. >> you think so? >> i think they realized it was a mistake. i think they tried to fix it as quick as they could, because i don't think they saw the uproar this caused. we spoke more yesterday about the redaction than we did about the actual information that's in the transcript. >> back to, you know, the

substance, evan, you know, it sounds to me, and you know more as far as the back and forth with this negotiator that much of this was about terrorism and no mention of the lbgt community. and on the why, i mean, it is very possible we will never truly know why he did this. >> that's right. the fbi is still working on this and they're still looking, there's still a lot of focus on the wife. they've done a bunch of interviews. right now they're not talking to her. she now has an attorney. but they expect they're going to come back to her. they still want to know more about the signs that she saw before this all happened. and going back real quick to the transcripts, the unfortunate thing about yesterday is this faux controversy really drew attention away from what was happening on capitol hill. important votes on gun legislation, which really never got any attention, whatsoever. >> and none of it flew, although there is a fifth potential from senator collins of maine. we'll see, gentleman, thank you

so much. chris? >> all right, so, before trump's campaign manager was out of a job, the biggest controversy with corey lewandowski involved a reporter named michelle fields. fields accused lewandowski of assaulting her as a campaign rally. remember this? all about the video, what happened, what didn't? well, fields has been covering the kpacampaign and has been insight into what happened and has a book that goes to the heart of what this campaign could be about. we'll talk to her about it all, next. s exactly when he can settle in and think big. and when josh thinks big you know what he gives? i'll give you everything i've got and then some... he gives a hundred and ten percent! i'm confident this 10% can boost your market share. look at that pie chart! boom! you've never seen a number like that! you feel me lois? i'm feeling you. yeah you do! let's do this! watch out he just had a whole thimble full of coffee... woot! woot! the ready for you alert, only at laquinta.com.

all right. donald trump's now fired campaign manager, corey lewandowski, who's no stranger to controversy. he's a guy who liked to mix it up. he was out there in the crowd with donald. and then there was this, in march, where he is seen grabbing

reporter michelle fields at a campaign rally, despite pictures showing fields' bruised arm, lewandowski always maintained he did nothing wrong. he went after fields. fields then wound up leaving breitbart, where she had been working at the time. she now is working at "the huffington post." and she's a political reporter. she wrote a book that is a very interesting insight into the dynamic in the beltway that this election is such a referendum on for so many people, called the barons of the beltway. so with all of that, we've got fields here this morning. michelle, there's so much stuff to talk to you about. even though you had to suffer through that, you left breitbart, went to "huffington post." you can't be upset about that. what do you see in these changes of the trump campaign, lewandowski being out. do you believe that lewandowski is why trump has had the stumbles that he has had? >> look, you know, i don't think that corey lewandowski was probably very good at his job. he was simply a body man who organized these amazing events

for trump. yes, he's out. but that doesn't change the fact that trump is still trump. no one can make trump say the things he's been saying. he's said some very racist things, especially about the judge not too long ago. it's not his staffers that made him say it, it's him. he can get rid of all of the staff he has and bring on new staff. but it doesn't change the staff that he is trump and that is his character. >> now, you're a hybrid, right? i keep calling you a reporter, but you're a part of the republican never-trump, you know, organization. like, that's your mind-set on this. so you're covering him, but you're doing it through a lens. do you believe that this change might give you a little bit of hope as a republican, that he could become the kind of candidate you need him to be? >> no, because like i said, i don't think that changes the character. he has shown us what he's like. who he is. just because you get rid of staffers doesn't change who you are as a person. this is someone who is a bully. who is, like i say in my book, a washington insider.

i profile tons of washington insiders. that is trump. he has done a very good job at positioning himself as this outsider, yet he is someone who has built this amazing real estate empire through deals that he's got within politicians. he's paid off politicians in new york, who then gave him favorable treatment when it comes to many of his deals. this isn't someone who is an outsider. he's building a hotel a few blocks away from the white house. this is someone who is very cozy with the media. especially many people in cable news. this is not someone who is an outsider. he is, in fact, the ultimate insider. he is the baron of the beltway, if we were to get elected. >> he started, one of his introductory remarks was, look, i know how the game works, i was the one paying money for favors. and people dismissed that as insight. you say in the book, trump was supposed to be different. he tricked many, many good

people into believing that he was authentic, that he would tell it like it is. but while trump may not have been a politician himself, he was still very much a part of the elite system that's been running washington for far too long. so is he the problem or is he the solution, fields? >> he is absolutely the problem. i think what we need is someone who is an actual outsider, not someone who's masquerading as an insider. this is someone who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. this is someone who has been involved in nepotism, helping his sister become a judge and get into a high position. the idea that he's going to just go into washington, and, you know, disrupt it, is incorrect. in fact, many lobbyists are very excited about trump, because they think that he is a dealmaker. he is not someone who is ideological. he's not motivated by ideology. in fact, he's motivated about keeping power, getting more money himself, and this is not someone who's going to care about the american people and his constituents. he went and said that if he were

to go on fifth avenue and kill someone, that his supporters are essentially stupid enough to continue to support him. so the idea that he's going to go in there and keep to his promises when he clearly thinks his supporters are not very bright and will stick with him through anything, i think, says a lot. >> so, one side note, which is, as you probably know, trump's sister has a very good reputation as a judge. >> oh, very good, yes. but she has admitted that he did lobby to help her get the position that she's in. it was according to a "new york times" report. >> well, i want to -- well,repo >> it shows nep poetism. >> be that as it may. let's end it on this. you're never trumper. what is your alternative, though? he is your party's presumptive nominee. at this point, it seems, he is going to be your nominee. would you consider, do you believe there is a slice of your party that would consider clinton? >> i do.

>> are you one of them, by the way, fields? put you on the record. >> i'm not a huge fan of hillary, as you know. i've been a conservative my whole life, pretty libtarian. but i do think that hillary would not be as detrimental to this country as donald trump would. especially when it comes to foreign policy. i think trump can cause a lot more damage than hillary would, if hillary were elected. >> michelle fields, good luck with the book. i would suggest that you are em employing an art fish shan standard, not a huge fan, who is the less worst. you have to change your lens of looking at it, based on what we're hearing from the voters. good luck with the book. let's talk drones this morning. drones are, they can be fun, but what happens when they start falling out of the sky, getting in the way of plaennes. an exclusive look on drone dangers, straight ahead. >> you run away.

universities, studying the dangers for the faa. >> this is a full-scale drone hitting the vertical stabilizer on a wide body transport. >> this scan uses 3d scans collisions between drones and planes. manufacturers already test the birds to airplanes. about 13,000 bird strikes a year. air flock of geese, famously took down the miracle on the hudson in 2009. the faear is, it could do much more damage. >> what is more dangerous. >> drones are made of very hard components, engines, cameras, it could do significant damage to the aircraft. they're trying to prove or disprove just how much damage they could do. >> researchers try to duplicate a drone hitting a plane at full

speed. >> this is a battery of a drone, and researchers hit it at a rate of 200 miles an hour, what could happen if a drone and played collided midair. >> three, two, one. >> so far, tests like this have shown a drone can do significant damage. but conclusive data is still months away. >> we need to figure out what is safe to do with the drones and what is the probability of these accidents happening. >> silence. >> and silence. >> we're sigh lenlslenced by th of the drone. >> i did stay at a holiday inn express last week, and i don't think it takes a lot to know this will hurt. part is the easy analysis. >> if someone does the wrong thing and it falls on someone's head or crashes into an

aircraft, there is no doubt that could be problematic. what they want to understand is the extent of how bad it can be so they can continuously tweak these rules so when they do open the skies, we're talking about thousands, one estimate. 7,500 of these hovering the sky. >> i remember back in the day, let's put cameras in phone and i thought that was prepost truss. >> they hope these collisions never happen. that's what they're trying to make sure of in all of this research. >> cell phone cameras is way less dangerous. >> drop the drone, cuomo. >> i'm going to test this on you in the commercial break. we'll see how it feels. >> great. we have a lot of news. shall we?

>> yes. let's. why were you fired? >> i don't know the answer to that. >> his children were very forceful in saying it's time for corey lewandowski to leave. >> it's the right and appropriate decision to make. >> it's time now for a different kind of a campaign. >> trump is being massively outdone by clinton. >> we're talking about 700 staffers for clinton. >> we're not going to propagate through violent rhetoric. >> backlash on capitol hill, the justice department released the full transcript. >> i'm in orlando, and i did the shootings. >> the killer made these murderous statements in a chilling, calm and deliberate manner. >> massive wildfires on the west coast. >> be prepared, this fire could change direction very quickly. >> i just looked out the dwoin and it was just billowing full of black smoke. >>announcer: this is "new day"

with chris cuomo and alisyn c e camerota. >> it is almost look a human army. the wind can shift it and people have to live with the unknown, and it is really scary. >> i was in southern california, and in a moment's notice, i had friends and family to get out and take everything they can in their jeep. we're going to cover that. good morning to you. welcome to "new day." it is tuesday, june 21st, 8:00 in the east. brooke baldwin is here. we've got big news. less than a month from the republican convention, donald trump says it is time for a change, and a big one. his campaign manager, corey lewandowski, the man who has been with him from the beginning, is out. get this. they say the move was driven by trump's children. lewandowski talked to cnn, gave a big interview about why this happened, and what he sees about the future of what will happen with the campaign. we will talk to dana bash

about her interview. also, how does trump stack up against hillary clinton on terrorism? critical issues that we all care so much about and why. let's begin our coverage with cnn chief political correspondent, dana bash, with that interview with corey lewandowski. still doesn't know why he was fired, he says. >> that's right. as for his now former boss, donald trump, he said this morning, brooke, that he has no plans to change his tone. he said, quote, i have to be who i am. that will be disappointing to many republican officials who i've talked to. we hope trump getting rid of his hard charging campaign manager that the candidate is willing to listen to those encouraging him to be less controversial as he tries to appeal to a general electorate. what happened? why were you fired? >> i don't know. i don't know the answer to that. >> but the answer, according to multiple gop sources, is donald trump's lagging poll numbers, lack of campaign infrastructure,

plus heated power struggles, which all led trump's family to say enough. sources who i've talked to said that they described you as a hot head and you didn't treat people right. what do you say to that? >> look, i think i'm a very intense person. and my expectation is perfection. because i think that's what mr. trump deserves. i had a nice conversation with mr. trump and i told him it is an honor and privilege to be part of that. i mean that from the bottom of my heart. >> mr. trump watched the interview live, a few hours after he was fired. trump later expressed his appreciation as he talked about moving on. >> he is a good man, we've had great success. he is a friend of mine. but i think it's time now for a different kind of a campaign. >> that different kind of campaign is one with paul manafort, lewandowski's nmenasi,

and trump must ack more presidential, and lewandowski kept saying let trump be trump. >> sources have told us that they thought that you were feeding mr. trump's worst instincts. if there was a plan in place, post primary, now trying to pivot to the general, in the general, you would get on the plane and undercut that plane and bring out his worst instinct. >> i say what interest would i have in doing that. >> the suggestion is because it is who you are. >> if donald trump wins, that's good for corey lewandowski and good for the country. >> lewandowski made clear that he supported trump's controversial response to the orlando shooting. >> goes boom, boom. >> and disparaging a judge presiding over a fraud case involving trump university. >> this judge sf mexican heritage. i'm building a wall, okay. >> the question is whether trump will tone down his rhetoric with his like minded campaign manager

out. cnn is told it was that, plus concerns about anemic fundraising and basic campaign structure that alarmed trump's children. >> my boy eric and don, they've been working so hard. ivanka and jared have been amazing. >> and played an instrumental role in ousting lewandowski, especially daughter ivanka and son-in-law, jared. >> can you tell me about your relationship with him. >> i've had a great relationship with him. he has helped us with the onset of having a great online presence, being aggressive in a good way. he understands a different component than i understand. >> kushner will be more influential in trying to right the trump campaign chip. >> corey lieu win do ywski was charge of fundraising.

the general election could be $1 billion enterprise. trump is way behind his democratic opponent. look at those numbers. hillary clinton has $42 million in the bank, and new sec reports show donald trump has only $1.3 million. that's for the super pacs. again, completely different ball games there. hillary clinton has $52 million. donald trump, has $500,000 in his super pac. >> he said he will stay the course, let trump be trump. so he just said, dana, thank you very much, but we have these new numbers for you. this brand new cnn national poll, puts hillary clinton 5 points over donald trump, in a head to head, 47 to 42%. it gets tighter when you factor in the third party candidates. let's go to ohio, our senior political correspondent, brianna keil keilar, live. how much will hillary economy,

how much will be no to donald trump? >> reporter: it seems like a lot of it is going to be no to donald trump and really taking aim at him. you can see why, brooke. in the polls, you mentioned hillary clinton leading overall. that does tighten to four points when you add the third party candidates in there. but when you look at the economy number, when voters are asked who do you think will do a better job on the economy, they say donald trump, 51/43. so that's a margin that hillary clinton is trying to take aim at. this is the issue voters say matter most in november, and the issue that the clinton campaign certainly believes voters will be motivated by. so what we're expected hillary clinton to do today, this is what we're hearing from her top aides is to take aim at trump's ventures, to trump steaks, vodka, casinos, something we're

seeing today in an on-line video that they've posted along with a new website, art of the steal.biz, a best selling book, a negative take obviously. but if any indication from what we heard a few weeks ago, where hillary clinton took on donald trump on foreign policy, it will be less about what her proposals are. we expect to hear obviously some broad things, and it is going be more about taking aim at donald trump. that speech a few weeks ago was almost like a roast, perhaps an indication of what we'll see today here in ohio, chris. >> also feed news just the negativity of this campaign, brianna. everybody says they'll come up with plans to make our lives better and all they're doing is throwing mud at each other. look what's going on in washington, d.c. the senate remains gridlocked on gun control, even in the wake of the orlando terror attack. now, whether or not you believe in a law as being able to address the problem, it would be nice if the politicians could do

something. you have deadlock on four different votes. now a fifth one in the offing. what will happen to change anything in a positive way. let's discuss with white house press secretary, josh ernest. mr. ernest, in your capacity, in the white house, you cannot deal with a 2016 election, i understand that, but i just have a scheduling question. do you know when we will see barack obama and hillary clinton on the trail. >> chris, hopefully soon. we haven't been able to schedule it. this is something that was originally planned for last week, but obviously in the aftermath of the terrible terrorist attack in orlando, the event has been rescheduled. but we don't have it on the books yet, but the president is quite enthusiastic about her campaign, her character and service to the country, and what a good president she would be. there will be an opportunity for the two of them to get together and campaign together soon. the president is looking forward to it. >> let's check two boxes this morning, big ideas that matter and what actions are coming or

not. the first, guns. the president, after everyone of these, sometimes even emotionally comes out and says it is about the gun. but josh, time and time again, we've seen somebody doesn't agree, right? because despite all the polling data, there is nothing that gets through congress to address guns. i'm not saying that that's the right solution or not, but do you believe that there is any ability for the president to force any type of mandate for change? >> well, chris, what we saw last night in the united states senate was a shameful display of cowa cowardes. you have republicans after a week of the worst shooting in american history, running around and saying radical islam, but when it comes to do something, getting the extremists from getting their hands on eye gun, they don't do anything about it. they continue to protect a loophole that allows individuals that have ties to terrorism to walk into a gun store and buy a

gun. >> they say why would you handcuff people who want to get guns legally, so that all these bad guys and people who want to buy it on the black-market can keep getting their weapons and make victims of the rest of us. >> well, chris, we believe that our law enforcement should be well armed. we believe the military should be well armed. we believe that law-abiding americans should be able to use their constitutional rights to purchase a firearm. we don't believe there is any bill we'll be able to pass into law that will prevent every act of gun violence. why wouldn't we do more to keep guns ot of the hands of people who have you not have them. if we believe, if our government has determined that it is too dangerous for an individual with suspected ties to terrorism from boarding an airplane, why would we make it possible for them to walk into a gun store and buy a gun. why wouldn't we strengthen background checks, preventing people to go on the internet to purchase a gun. we're not suggesting law-abiding

citizens shouldn't be able to buy a gun. just go through a background check, make sure someone is not mentally impaired or subject to a restraining order of some kind. >> first of all, we know there are lots of different facets to the current background checks. there is no proposal that would flag for someone for mental illness, unless it is a felony conviction, and we don't know how to do that and no proposal to figure it out. the fbi wanted something else. they say this guy in orlando wasn't on a list, wasn't going to be on a list. they had investigated him, closed the case. they want discretion to be able to say, look, i know this guy's name. i know that he wants to up to no good, but can't make a case about him. if he wants a gun, i want to be able to flag that. this is about the fbi's power. nobody is talking about it that way. it keeps getting caught up in the politics of gun laws. >> chris, here's the thing, what

was voted down by a majority of republicans would have given the fbi about more individuals who had previously been subject to a terrorist investigation, who went into to buy a gun. it would give the fbi more information about that and the ability to act on it if they concluded it was necessary. here's the thing we're talking about a more egregious situation. i recognize there are complicated decisions to make, how do you handle individuals on investigations that have been closed, i'm talking about open terrorism investigations, individuals who are law enforcement investigators have concluded might be associated with a terrorist plot. >> right. >> right now, according to loopholes that are protected by republicans, those individuals can walk into a gun store and buy a gun, without them being preven prevented from doing so. that's just common sense. >> feinstein put out the report that said that of those on the terror watch list, 91% are

successful in getting weapons. what the other side pushes back on, last question here, josh, is this. you want to deal with this problem that happened in orlando, you want to take it on, then call it what it is. the president's speech, while seen as effective on many different levels, didn't move the needle much on islam, radical islam terror. people feel he doesn't say it because he is afraid of dealing with this problem, that he lacks a fundamental toughness about calling it what it is. he didn't move the needle on that, josh. people look in orlando and say well, this is a reflection of that weakness as well. fair? >> no, chris. it is outrageous, actually. the truth of the matter is, the individuals who spend their time talking about radical islamic terrorism are individuals like republicans in the senate who voted against legislation that would prevent those individuals from being able to buy a gun and individuals who not actually put forward their own strategy for keeping the country safe. using the term radical islamic

extremism is not a counterterrorism policy. it is a talking point. what the president of the united states has done, put forth a comprehensive strategy to squeeze islamic state in iraq and syria to inhibit their ability to recruit and radicalize around the globe. he has supported proposals that make it harder for having ties from being able to walk into a gun store to guy a gun. he has built a coalition of 65 nations to take the fight of isil, put increasing pressure on isil, but has not relied on a political talking point as a substitute for a counterterrorism policy. republicans who like to talk have that luxury. but when you're the president of the united states, and you're focused on keeping the country safe, you don't have that luxury. what you do is focus on a strategy that will put pressure on isil, send a clear message to

the muslims in the united states, we want their help and protecting their community from isil to radicalized members of our population. the president is focused on a strategy. you have republicans focused on a talking point. >> josh, thank you for making the points from the white house. >> thanks for having me. good to see you, man. tactics used at the nightclub, the police saying officers fired at the terrorist, forcing him to then head into a bathroom, allowing police to rescue people from the pulse nightclub, as the massacre was unfolding. also, i can tell you the fbi, department of justice, reversing course near hours after they initially redacted pieces of the 911 transcript, during the attack when the terrorist called 911. officials were criticized for releasing redacted versions.

the revolving door keeps moving at the oaklands police department. the city is now on its fourth police chief in less than two weeks. the mayor, tapping the city administrator this time, to oversee the department. three chiefs resigned or were fired in a nine day span. why? the department was rocked by allegations of sexual misconduct and racist texts and e-mails within the department. triple digit heat causing trouble for fire crews battling more than a dozen wielldfires. just in los angeles alone, they've burned through 4,500 acres and chased several hundred thousand people from their homes. massive plume, towering above the skyline. we'll show you a picture there, there you go, dodger stadium. you see the plume of spoke there, warning people get your go bags ready should winds redirect the smoke and flames, and force more evacuations.

>> hot and dry makes fire fly. that's what they tell you. all right, so very different story, politics. high stakes as well. the trump campaign says, with corey lewandowski, the manager how, we can have a fresh start. how? we're going to ask team trump, next. when josh atkins books at laquinta.com.

it's been an honor and privilege to be part of this. and i mean that from the bottom of my heart. >> some pretty kind words on the way out the door. just less than a month ahead of the republican national convention. corey lewandowski, let go as donald trump's campaign manager. can his campaign shake up, reboot his campaign. tanna, good morning. >> good morning, how are you today? >> i'm wonderful. this is about you, and let's get to it. so dana interviewed corey about 30 minutes on live television. first question out of the gate, why were you fired. his response, i don't know. can you shed light on that this morning? >> well, yes. the reality is the campaign was moving into another direction. this is -- they say this is normal in political campaigns, and paul and the team made a decision that mr. trump, going into the general election, would be going in another direction and that did not include corey.

>> all right, so maybe it's normal, but you know, again timing, three weeks before the convention. we'll talk about what is to come. but on the why, you know, our sources are telling us it was really about trump's children and specifically his daughter, ivanka trump. there were reports corey was going to plant some negative stories about jared kushner, her husband, because of the rising role he was playing in the campaign. dana asked corey lewandowski about that, this was his response. >> great asset to the campaign. i mean -- >> would you be surprised that you heard she was not thrilled with the job that you were doing? >> i don't think that's the case. i think ivanka is somebody who understands her father and is a fantastic surrogate for this campaign. she brings a sense of calmness to the campaign. she has a way that connects not just with women but business executives. she is so polished and professional, and it has been an honor to work with her for the

past 18 months. >> what was ivanka's role in the firing of corey lewandowski? >> i don't know what her role was in that capacity, because i haven't spoken to her about it. but corey described her role perfectly. i've been her many times at these rallies, and she is so poised and professional, and just perfect for the role of a surrogate. i've seen her with corey, there has never been any problems looking in. so i do not have any knowledge as to that. nor do i have any knowledge as to the fact that the speculation that corey was going to start -- or put out a story about jared, who once again, is another excellent person in the trump campaign. so you know, in any business or corporation, there is always a conflict of interest and clashing of personalities. i've worked very closely with corey, since the day mr. trump came down the escalator. corey has always respected my unique relationship with mr.

trump. for that, i'm very grateful. buff the campaign has decided they're moving in another direction and i have to respect that decision and i've also worked with paul, and he is fantastic. i will never take anything away from corey for getting us to the playoffs, but now we need paul to get us to win the super bowl. >> before you get to the super bowl, though, you know, corey, known for letting trump be trump, if not, you know, saying this is what you should say about judge curiel in california, and handling trump university perhaps, maybe encouraging it or not saying no. you know, an adjective i'm hearing is aggressive. did you see all of that? >> did i see corey be aggressive with mr. trump? is that the question? >> be aggressive to staffers, encourage mr. trump, when it came to the trump u story. >> i have never seen aggression out of corey personally. i have seen -- i heard corey say

numerous times, let trump be trump. mr. trump is the boss. anybody -- i've heard paul say that, just the same. mr. trump is our boss. mr. trump does take guidance. i have seen that first hand. i have experienced that. he has taken guidance from me, he has taken guidance from corey. he will take guidance from paul. so corey, like i said, he did a great job getting us to win the primaries. i mean, i can't say enough about what he did for the campaign, but i do know what paul will do for mr. trump going forward. >> paul manafort is who you're talking about. so he was hired initially to handle delegates, and now will take on an even larger role. as you pivot and you are correct to point out, and corey was saying multiple times with dana, lean and mean, and kudos to all of you for being unprecedented republicans in droves to vote for the primary season, but is this a different ball game

ahead. when you look at the numbers, comparing november 8th, the trump campaign, in terms of staff size, 69 people, compared to the clinton camp, 685. and that's ten times, ten times larger, the clinton campaign. in terms of money in the bank, clinton, they have $42 million. trump $1.3 million. lean and mean might have worked in the primaries, it will not moving ahead. how do you catch up? >> well, i don't think we need to catch up. because we are winning our side. >> but this is a different ball game moving forward, tana. >> i understand that, but mr. trump is a billionaire. if money -- money is not a problem for our campaign. so that's not even on my radar as that's a problem. mr. trump has a lean, mean -- we're a great machine. >> every paper today indicates money is a problem. this is politics.

>> guess what, mr. trump is a billionaire. money is not a problem. i mean, yeah, i'm sure all the papers are saying that. the papers need to say something about mr. trump. we are winning. he is going to be the -- he is the nominee in my mind. >> look at the numbers today. 47% to 42%, he is down five percentage points to hillary clinton. >> that's nothing. brooke, that's nothing. just let us get through the convention. once america hears, he is the nominee and there won't be any funny stuff or there isn't a third party coming in, you just watch. wait until you see those numbers go up. i mean, he is almost at a dead race in pennsylvania, where we will win, and ohio. this is nothing. i'm super excited about this. money is not a problem for donald trump. >> tana, we'll see you in cleveland in three weeks, july 18th. >> thank you, bye-bye. a quick programming night, chris will be hosting the libertarians town hall

presidential nominee, gary johnson and william weld, joining him 9:00 eastern, only here on cnn. >> that will be a good one introducing the audience, third party becoming more viable with many voters. let's take a break. when would he come back, hillary clinton has been beating up donald trump in fundraising, despite the fact we just heard from his campaign that money is not an issue. it is on paper. so we're going talk to the man responsible for raising cash for clinton. and get a preview for you on what her plan is for the economy today. let's feed him to the sharks! squuuuack, let's feed him to the sharks! yay! and take all of his gold! and take all of his gold! ya! and hide it from the crew! ya...? squuuuack, they're all morons anyway! i never said that. they all smell bad too. no! you all smell wonderful! i smell bad! if you're a parrot, you repeat things. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do.

squuuuack, it's what you do. dogs - sure can be messy. but with nexgard, their flea and tick killer doesn't have to be. nexgard, the vet's #1 choice for dogs, is a delicious, beef-flavored chew that kills both fleas and ticks. so it's easy to give, easy to take. reported side effects include vomiting, itching, diarrhea, lethargy and lack of appetite. use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures. why mess around? for powerful flea and tick protection, ask your vet about nexgard. the #1 choice of vets for their dogs and yours.

wheall i can think abouthit, is getting relief. only nicorette mini has a patented fast-dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. i never know when i'll need relief. that's why i only choose nicorette mini.

it is a twist. it is a twist in this campaign that the man with all the money, the billionaire, self-described, donald trump, is down in campaign cash, so decidedly. here are the numbers, as of may 31st. trump has $1.3 million in the bank, compared to the clinton campaign's $42 million war chest. super pacs the nice money we have in the business now of politics, you look at the numbers there.

$500,000 for him. millions for hillary clinton. and also, it is about generating the money, raising the money. trump hasn't been doing that. he said he would self-fund. is that going to happen? how about on the clinton side. that's all about gary genzler, hillary for america, the official money man. let's start with one macro policy issue about money in general and then talk to you about the speech today. why does money matter, and why should people perceive money as strength? >> well, in political campaigns, it is all about connecting with voters and hillary clinton has a plan throughout this election to talk to voters, connect to voters, and that does take support from donors, and we look forward to any donors going to hillary clinton.com and helping us out. because it is going to take a lot of money to make sure voters know donald trump is not the man to be president. >> when we talk about money, the fact that you are the cfo of

hillary for mamerica, do you believe there is something daunting, it is jyour job and task, but so much money is needed, maybe $1 billion price tag for a presidential election. what does it mean to you that so much money is necessary these days? >> well, it is daunting. that's why secretary clinton feels that we have to have robust reforms of our campaign finance laws. but we have to bring this to the american public with the rules that are in place now. and so it means raising the money so that we can connect with voters and tell the story while hillary clinton will be the best person to be the 45th president. >> all right, that's the catch-22, right? everybody says they want to reform the system, but you only win if you game the system and raise the most money. big speech coming up today. are we going to hear an economic policy speech, or do you think that clinton is going to spend

her time taking down trump because of his temperament and saying he is dangerous for the economy? >> a bit of both. hillary clinton does feel that the american public needs to understand the difference between donald trump, who has been erratic businessman, who really would recogniwreck this going forward, and her plan where donald trump is more about those at the top and frankly, often himself. >> sometimes what we hear out of the clinton cam papaign. we're going to be positive and unify. why not do that and layout the plan, leave people's analysis of trump to them. >> just as the secretary did two weeks ago about foreign policy in san diego, we're going to layout the contrast in the case, why donald trump is erratic, and he would wreck the economy. just yesterday, a leading economist, john mccain's

economist, actually, an advisor, laid out how donald trump would lead to a recession and 3.5 million jobs would be lost. >> certainly a lot of evaluations flying around and clinton's job to make the case. no doubt about it. let me ask you something, coming out of the foreign policy speech, did you see any shift in the momentum to what it was to raise money? did that speech help? >> well, it is making the case to the american public. we've had a good month. you sat figurwe saw the figures. we have to continue to get support from the american public. this is going to be a tight election, and donald trump shouldn't be underestimated and hillary clinton needs everybody's help. >> when you go to your friends who aren't necessarily democrats, and say i want you to get your money into this race, how many of them are saying, look i'm a republican, but i don't know that i can go for trump. i don't know if i want to go for clinton, either. how much of that vacillating are

you hearing? >> i think republicans across the board and americans across the board are looking at this election, and they have one candidate, hillary clinton, who has got real plans, who is going to look out for every american, and they've got donald trump, who has been erratic. he has had four bankruptcies, lawsuits against him. he is not such a good businessman, actually and not that trustworthy. a lot of republicans are reassessing the race and thinking about who should be the next president. >> when it is all said and done, what do you think the price tag will be on what hillary clinton was able to raise and needed to spend? >> oh, i'm not going to speculate on how much. it will be an important component of this race going forward. but most important is what she is going to do for the american public, and telling her case both affirmatively and in contrast to donald trump, who may wreck this economy. >> cfo doesn't want to talk about the price tag, you know it's going to be a big price

tag. gary, thank you for making the case. >> thank you, chris. >> be well. chris, thank you. it is no secret, more and more parents are being increasingly cautious with kids and concussions. more next.

time for the five things to know for why you "new day." number one, donald trump, firing his campaign manager, corey lewandowski, just four weeks

before the republican convention. now, sources say trump's children led the charge to push him out. hillary clinton has a five point lead over trump in a cnn national poll. 47/42. now, that margin is further squeezed when you include third party candidates. so that's a big one to look for. four, gun control bills. failing to pass the senate, despite widespread demand for action, coming on the heels of orlando. now, there is a compromise plan by senator susan collins of maine. it is gaining traction. orlando police defending the tactics used to end the standoff with a gay nightclub attacker. officers forced the gunman to retreat to the bathroom, allowing them to rescue people from the pulse nightclub. family and friends will remember lane graves. the little boy from nebraska, you remember his story. his life ended by an alligator at disney world when he was

there on vacation with his family last week. for more on the five things to know, go to cnn.com for the latest. brooke. risk of head injuries in pro sports, that's certainly nothing new. but in today's new day, new you, need to hear this. university from pittsburgh medical center found 2 million children in the u.s. are getting concussions every year playing sports and doing other activities, but most aren't going to the doctor. the likely result is misdiagnosis and a lack of treatment. early intervention is the preferred approach, which is rest, which is how most parents handle that issue. grew up playing the game, the game will never change until you take the helmets off the heads. remember, i told you that, brooke baldwin. we talk about helmet technology and all this stuff. as long as there is a helmet on the hand, people will use it as a weapon.

that's the nature of the game. so the head of donald trump's campaign was fired in this supposed family directed power play, right? so that's our question today. how much power do the people on your screen actually have? trump's daughter, ivanka, her husband, jared kushner, are they the go to players in the campaign right now? we've got the man who literally wrote the book on trump, next.

with usaa is awesome. homeowners insurance life insurance automobile insurance i spent 20 years active duty they still refer to me as "gunnery sergeant" when i call being a usaa member because of my service in the military to pass that on to my kids something that makes me happy my name is roger zapata and i'm a usaa member for life. usaa. we know what it means to serve. get an insurance quote and see why 92% of our members plan to stay for life. what if 30,000 people download the new app? we're good. okay... what if a million people download the new app? we're good. five million? good. we scale on demand. hybrid infrastructure, boom. ok. what if 30 million people download the app? we're not good. we're total heroes. scale on demand with the number one company

in cloud infrastructure.

ivanka really respects corey and it is actual aubsolutely tr. i read the reports about the children and it is all nonsense. >> all nonsense, he says. donald trump, just this morning. dismissing reports that his children were mostly behind the firing of the campaign manager, corey lewandowski. cnn sources say it was the kids that pushed their father to oust

lewandowski. the trump is calling the shots, and discuss it with a biography, "donald trump and the pursuant of success." >> good to see you. >> all nonsense, as much as you know about his, you know, tight-knitness with his family, do you buy that his sense of nonsense? >> not one bit. >> not one bit? >> no, in any room where donald's children and donald are present, the kids are the adults. they are the ones directing this. i think they saw corey as kind of the guy who worked for a while, but he was a bad influence. he kind of amplifies donald's id, would get him to continue to continue the angry erratic campaign he has conducted so far, and they're moderate. they're going to try to reign in the operation, and professionalize it a little bit.

i don't know if they can succeed, because he has an awfully strong personality. >> first of all, if there is one virtue you're going to give donald trump, he cares about his kids. all the politics aside, he is protective of his kids. that's been a challenge for him. these are grown-ups by the way. >> we keep saying kids. >> but he has been slow to put them out there, even ivanka, because of the scrutiny on them and he doesn't want that and you have to respect it. in terms of looking at what you're defining as the power structure, who are the adults in the room, let's look at the family tree. tell us who they are and how they matter. >> sure, well, donald, jr. is really modelled himself after his father. he is very much involved in all the real estate development. travels overseas quite a bit. his son eric is more engaged in charitable organizations, the foundation. but also, is interested in the golf courses. and ivanka i think in donald's

eye is really the star. she promotes the hotels, promotes her own businesses. and those young people have in mind creating a more stable, less risk taking company, once their father is gone, and i talked to them about that. and you know, they got a little bit sad to contemplate the fact that he is not going to be around forever, but they know that he is not. and they also recognize, and this is what donald, jr. said to me. half the people that meet their father don't like him. and that he is a polarizing figure. so they know he needs to balance some of his rhetoric and imagine. >> so back to ivanka, who maybe is like an unofficial chief of staff, you call her the star. she is married to jared kushner. who he is? >> he runs the new york observer. his family was in real estate, and still is comparable to the

trumps. so he knows the territory that the family has navigated forever. he is a great influence. ace person with experience and skills from the outside world. and you know, this whole trump constellation is very insolar, and they have this risk of not understanding what's going on beyond trump tower, and i think that he brings in a perspective that's really valuable. >> he wrote the speech a couple of months ago when trump used the teleprompter. we talk about him as a real estate mogul but also delving into politics, name checked him in indiana as well. do you see him having a larger role, now that corey is out? >> oh, yes, a great level of respect there. but again, this is ivanka's choice as a husband. and i think that donald respects that. you know, it's very interesting. donald needs, i think, a strong

figure in his life. in past, it was his first two wives. but melania is not as strong. >> someone who says no. >> someone who says no and you're off track here. and yet loves him. so he has that trust going on. and eivanka is that person. >> when we look at the dynamics, i don't see that ivanka is pulling the strings or jared is pulling the strings. paul manafort, since he arrived there, has been pulling the strings. that's what caused the riff with corey lewandowski. i mean, i take donald trump at his word. it is not about the kids. that makes sense. they had two number ones. manafort has this ridiculous pedigree in politics. he has been around a long time, working with the biggest players, and it was him put in the same room with lewandowski. don't you think manafort is someone you should be looking at why they changed the team? >> the push has been going on
