warnings. don't look at it antitry not to watch for too long. i'm sorry. they are talking about trump's press conferences. >> announcer: this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. good sunday morning to you. always so grateful to have out board. welcome to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world. we start this morning with breakings news. >> fully fulnorth contrarkorea strike. >> paula this slthreat is befor joint drills with south korea. did that spark the warning? >> this is expected from north korea. we have joined drills between
3:02 am
south korea and north north. they happen every year and the u.s. says they are defensive in nature and north korea doesn't see them that way. any military drills they see as a practice or invasion of north korea and what they are seeing this time as well. they say it's a reckless provocation to carrying this out and reminding the as far as north korea is concerned they can hit guam, hawaii and mainland united states. certainly we are seeing an increase in the rhetoric and it is to be expected as the drills back to start. one interesting thing about these drills they are computer simulation. so you're not going to see thousands of u.s. marines landing on a south korean beach like the drills. live fire drills which are a provocation, north korea says, for them to see that, thinking that is an attempt to practice for war. potentially tensions won't be as high now considering you won't be seeing these pictures but we started from a higher level. we know the head of the u.s.
3:03 am
pacific command admiral harry harris is here in seoul right now and met with the south korean defense minister to overseas the drills as well. back to you. >> paula hancock thank you for the update. north korea is issuing these new threats, president trump is returning to washington today to a freshly renovated white house. it has been an eventful working vacation, to say the very least, for the president. >> this morning, we want to take stock of really what has happened since the president left a little more than two weeks ago. first, the president threatened a nuclear war. he then doubled down on an idea saying there were, quote, many fine people among the white
3:04 am
supremacists and kkk marchers. president trump tweeted it was his idea to shut them down. barcelona attack, the president tweeted a false story about a u.s. military officer mass murdering prisoners of war by shooting them with bullets dipped in pig's blood and leading a republican senator to question whether the president has the stability and competence to succeed. now you'll also remember the president fired his chief strategist steve bannon. so where does this administration go from here? let's talk about it. errol louis is joining us and sarah westwood of the washington examiner. this has to be the worst vacation that anyone has had this summer. let's start with you, errol, and, you know, when the president goes back to the white house, a lot is on the table that has been left undone. a lot to move forward to.
3:05 am
i want to put this in the context of what steve bannon told "the washington post." he said that no administration in history has been so divided among itself about the direction about where it should go. the question how much of his agenda remains here and where does the president start? >> there are a lot of different questions that are wrapped up in that one. the real issue is, look. in the short term, there are some pretty important items. like the federal budget. like tax cuts that were promised on the campaign trail. that this white house is going to have to deal with. i interpret the bannon comment, though, as in part about style. will it continue to be chaotic? will the president continue to pit different aides against one another and will the president continue to tweet and make progress spontaneous and change that policy as the mood hits him? or will they be a little more
3:06 am
focused, a little more orderly and get to some of these big ticket items. the things of a possible government shutdown, things getting the budget passed is on a pretty strict sometime table. they can't afford to lose more week the way they have over the last two weeks. >> most important is that debt ceiling coming up pretty soon. another pullout from this "the washington post" interview with steve bannon. if the republican party gets behind the president and their plans and not theirs, one big happy family. most americans, though, oppose the big ticket items the president is pushing. most americans oppose a wall along the southern border. most american oppose all of the obamacare repeal and replace plans that came out that the president supported. so sweetness in light? >> the president should do everything he can to complement the agenda he want on and got
3:07 am
elected on because then it would be too easy for his critics to say his presidency fell short in all of the areas that made him unique. the president will keep pushing for those items even if they are not pulling as they used to given the president's unpopularity. the republicans on capitol hill are not going to want to stick their neck out for this president while he is so embattled while his approval ratings are continuing to plummet. they are not going to want to x expend for the border wall and replace obamacare long predated president trump and things republicans might make progress on in spite of president trump. in terms what have is specific to trump, what trump champions that republicans were kind of forced to accept in retrospect because trump was so popular, those are the kind of things that could be casualties of trump's kind of rocky first few
3:08 am
months on the job. >> errol, all that there is on the table, on tuesday you, president trump heads to phoenix for a 2020 re-election rally. this is, i guess, an opportunity for the president. can he pass this test or has he already failed it? what is his opportunity to recover here? >> well, he has an opportunity to recover. i don't know if going to rallies of his base is going to be what gets it done. i mean, there is a peculiar kind of theme that runs through on the steve bannon comments, both the interview in "the washington post," as well as other recent comments, which is that he somehow imagines with the president having a narrow victory over the republican establishment that the republican establishment is supposed to disregard what individual members of congress and senators are supposed to disregard what their constituents want and they, themselves, stand for and have run on and line up behind a chaotic white house.
3:09 am
that probably is not going to happen. when the president goes to phoenix, and, you know, good for him. it sort of boosts his moral and energizes his base and nice to have the president outside of the country and the beltway but not address the fundamental problem of incident the establishment, does he expect the establishment to line up behind him or is he going to negotiate with them? is he going to strike one of his famous deals and give a little to get a little? >> finally to you, sarah, before we go. we are hearing now from ivanka trump. she is back from president, just like the president, tweeting out about boston and the demonstrations we saw there yesterday. but she was noticeably silent after the president, his very fine people ran about blame on both sides in charlottesville. she doesn't seem to be the moderating force some expected she would be. what is the impact after this last week on her ability to
3:10 am
impact and influence her father? >> this was some of the highest scrutiny she has received since she joined the administration in this advisory capacity because a lot of people expected her to come out and sort of denounce her president's comments and that didn't happen. ivanka trump's purpose along the way since she has been helping her father seems to be to protect the family brand from some of the more controversial things that her father is a ha said but that didn't really happen in this case. is there a question as to why, why jared kushner and ivanka trump happened object on vacation when this situation unfolded and whether trump's comments was the cause of them being gone or the effect of not being there to moderate president trump. there is questions why she was so silent this weekend and interesting to see her back online when her father is starting to emerge from are this controversy. >> thank you both. >> thank you. governor john kasich and

it is tomorrow! the day the sun will disappear across the u.s. for a brief moment. the day is going to turn to night for the total solar eclipse. >> it is! i've got my stylus glass. >> you're not putting them on, are you? ha ha. you want mine? >> yes. >> go. >> i don't know why she is exciting you so much. >> i took a picture of him in them and put them on instagram. i don't think he was too happy with that picture so i didn't know if he would put them back on again. >> here is the fun thing about this, allison chinchar.
3:17 am
i will tell a secret. you bring these glasses over from the weather center. we don't have them and you say give them back of the show. i don't have anything for the eclipse! >> you need them and i wish i had more pairs! not to sell them off, but so many people have asked because there are a lot of places that are now sold out of these! here is the thing. you know all of those people that go out on a cloudy day and get sunburned? it's cloudy, i won't get burned. because your forecast may be cloudy doesn't mean you can't use these. you have to use this even if rain is in the forecast for your eclipse. speaking of which. let's take a look at the forecast along the areas of the path. it starts on the west coast of oregon namely around say legal. it's crossing over around 2:00 near kansas city, missouri and 3:00 in the afternoon, eastern times. this is passing through areas like charleston, south carolina.
3:18 am
and then going over the water for the few lucky folks on that cruise. but in terms of the actual forecast, okay? let's take a look what we have got going on. here is that totality path. we start out to the west. for folks in oregon, idaho, outside of a little bit of haze and smoke from some of those wildfires the forecast is dry and the cool part it may change the colors. you may get more red and orange, hints or hues to it because of that smoke and haze. we shift the forecast a little bit further to the east, say, namely around kansas city and st. louis. here are the problems. both of those cities actually have not just potential for shower, but also severe weather tomorrow as well. we are actually talking damaging winds and large hail and isolated tornado. if you plan to be in the path of these locations, make sure you also have your weather alert so you is evacuate if you need to even around the time of the eclipse. further down to the south, now we get a little bit closer to
3:19 am
nashville. at the moment, other than an incredibly small chance late in the day, talking tomorrow night, the best chance for rain is. so that means you won't necessarily get rain in nashville but you may have cloud build up ahead of time during the eclipse. then we move on to areas of south carolina. columbia and charleston, south carolina. unfortunately, we also have rain chance in the forecast there. albeit not very high but even still, if there is one pop-up shower and thunderstorm in the afternoon during the eclipse and none rest of the day it doesn't matter because that is the most important time of day to have nice weather. we have talked about it before. the most important thing to have are your glasses. there are still some locations that have them. my best advice, maybe check out your local animal shelter. a lot of them are actually giving them away for pets. still not sure why because your animal doesn't normally look at the sun on a normal day but they have them, nonetheless, four pets so maybe they can sneak you an extra pair as well.
3:20 am
>> good advice there. allison chinchar, thanks. escalating threats from north korea. a new warning from kim jong-un as the u.s. is now preparing for military drills. also, thousands of counterprotesters come face-to-face with people affiliated with white supremacist groups. unlike protests leading up to last week's terror attack, demonstrations were largely peaceful, but another protest and rally next week in san francisco. we are going to talk about police responses in a moment. here ya go. awesome, thank you. thank you. that's... not your car. your car's ready! wrong car... this is not your car? i would love to take it, but no. oh, i'm so sorry about that. you guys wanna check it out? it's someone else's car... this is beautiful.

3:25 am
of nuclear war. despite the threat the u.s. says the drills will go on as planned. >> united! the people united! never be defeated. a terror attack is inspiring protesters to march in streets across the country. 2,000 demonstrators paraded from downtown atlanta to the tune of martin luther king jr. and that happened yesterday. that was just one of several rallies in major cities including in dallas, new orleans, memphis. many speaking out against confederate symbols and monuments were heavily, i'm happy to tell you. >> in boston a free speech rally of about 100 alt right supporters were dwarfed by thousands of counterprotesters. they were surrounded by protesters and a lot of them
3:26 am
carried signs that read hate speech is not free speech. president trump tweeted this. in stark contrast with the president, boston's mayor and superintendent praised the counterprotesters for remaining peaceful in the face -- >> to thank all of the people that came out to share that message of love, not hate. to fight back on racism, to fight back on anti-semitism and to fight back on the white supremacists that come into our city. >> as you look around, nothing is burning. nothing is stalling. nothing is looted. that the young people of boston, their parents, their loved ones, and especially the young people of boston, you know, this is a victory today to stand together and drive away racism. >> so boston police department is being praised for keeping order, police in charlottesville are facing backlash after a man mowed down dozen of anti-racist protesters. one woman was killed.
3:27 am
the residents there are criticizing the police is too passive, blasting them for failing to keep apart white nationalists and counterprotesters and not separating them so much. charles ramsey is a former chief of the washington and philadelphia police departments. thank you, charles, for being with us. i want to read to you what a counterprotester in charlottesville said after the protest last week. the former charlottesville chief of police has a valid concern. let's listen together here. >> i think the question being raised by the general public is a legitimate one. clearly we had notice of groups coming into the city with differing views and i think when the potential for violence was
3:28 am
real and beyond speculative. i think when presented themselves saturday morning with shields, remts and weaponry i think it was foreseeable that there would be violence. >> what is your reaction to the criticism? >> i agree with the chief longo. that is a situation you had a lot of signs that this could potentially turn violent and they just weren't as prepared as they could have been. in fairness to charlottesville, they are probably a department not accustomed to handling large demonstrations, particularly those that have a high potential for violence so they need to reach out and learn from the larger jurisdiction like boston, philly, d.c., that handle these kinds of things on a fairly regular basis. >> it's safe to say boston learned from watching charlottesville, would that be safe to say? >> it is safe to say it. obviously, you saw that it's no longer a potential for violence but actual violence can occur, including a murder that took place. so, you know, that gives you a look heads-up but boston is very
3:29 am
adapted at handling these kinds of things and they had a large department and had affair overwhelming presence and what you really want. >> the president tweeted and victor read it a minute ago but i want to reiterate it here for folks who missed it. how do president trump's words affect law enforcement, whether it's psychological, whether it's how they implement their planning? >> it doesn't have any real effect on us one way or another. like everyone else, you get confused because that is the first tweet followed by two others that were totally different and really is what you would have expected from a president. so when you're in a planning stages, you're focused on one thing and one thing only. allow people to exercise their first amendment rights on both sides, but, at the same time, keep people safe from harm. that is your focus, not what a president or anyone else is really saying. >> real quickly, does the free speech rally in san francisco
3:30 am
next weekend, the rink you don't know -- risk is you don't know who is showing up. what are your feelings about what is upcoming? you have to deal with all of these things individually. i think the success in boston and when you look elsewhere, we didn't have the kind of violence we saw in charlottesville. police chiefs communicate with one another and their tactical people communicate with one another. joint terrific task forces and own intel divisions will monitor some of the websites to see what kind of talk is going on there. so you could be prepared. but certainly charlottesville was a wake-up call for everybody. >> charles ramsey, we so appreciate your time. thank you. >> that's okay. thank you. president trump seems to be counting on steve bannon as an ally despite cutting him loose at the white house. bannon returned to breitbart news to run it the same day he was fired from his job from the administration. joining us to talk about what to expect is brian stelter who is host of "reliable sources." good morning. >> good morning. interesting to see the president weighing in one day after steve
3:31 am
bannon's departure from the white house post ago message on twitter that seemed like he was trying to to send off bannon with a fond farewell even though tensions between the two men. here is what president trump wrote. so you see president trump here trying to send off bannon with a positive message one day after bannon, of course, left on a not so positive note. it was described as a firing and bannon, in his own words, had some interesting comments about the president saying that the trump presidency, we fought for this disruptive presidency is now over. here is part of what bannon told the "weekly standard." on the outside he is able to fight for more trump now and i think it's spin. ed the following. this is the beginning of what is
3:32 am
going to be a really interesting period, victor, to have trump's chief strategist now on the outside at breitbart without being in the white house any more. >> we will watch that. brian stelter, thanks so much. >> thanks. the man who inspired the movie "american history x" is with us as hate groups gain traction in the united states. we will ask this former neonazi, can they be stopped? we look back at the life of the pioneering comedian and civil rights activist dick gregory who died saturday at the age of 84. 10 pack pens, one cent. composition notebooks,scissors, and plastic folders all one cent each! hurry to office depot office max. ♪taking care of business.

kourn counterprotesters but the rally was primary peaceful but not in charlottesville last weekend as you remember. count count count our next guest is the man who inspired that movie. frank mink, a former neonazi recruiter. the author of auto biography of a recovering skinhead. i think people are watching this. the first thing they want to know, frank, what entice youed you to become a neonazi? >> i felt marginalized. i felt that people couldn't be there for me when i needed to, my family. i went to an all-black school. there was little tensions there. i was full of fear. i was like a kid that was afraid of my school and afraid of my parent who weren't around,
3:38 am
stepparents. i was afraid i wouldn't have enough food to eat. they were poor and on the poor side of philadelphia. so i felt marginalized. >> so you felt marginalized and to clarify, did you truly feel superior as a white man or was it primary fear-driven? >> it's all fear-driven. the pro-white people that were there yesterday were all full of fear. these are fear and guys who are full of anger and fear that join these groups. it's what they are about. >> what is the fear about? what do they fear? what did you fear? >> well, i feared basically going to school some days but other people people they will lose what is theirs. they feel what they had is taken by other people, minorities. so, you know, they see affirmative action as a threat to them. it really is not. they are losing their jobs
3:39 am
because of affirmative action so what they wake up and first thing they wake up in the morning they think about that. >> you wrote a couple of years ago in an interview you had said our violence was our camarade e camaraderie, a clock work orange. did that hold you together the camaraderie of violence against somebody else? absolutely. we would go out like as normal teenagers you go out and shoot basketball or hockey pucks with your friend. we didn't do that. we went out and practiced stuff for a race war and when we used to practice stuff, race war stuff and violence we go back to the tents we live in in pennsylvania where we go for our bible studies and teach us everything we are doing is god's hand. god has chosen us to be the angels that ruin -- you're telling a welfare kid from philadelphia that god wants me on his tome? like, that was our camaraderie. >> so what changed for you when you were in prison? what turns you around? >> i was a young kid.
3:40 am
i was 17 in an adult maximum security prison. one of the first prison i go to john gacy is there, how long ago it was. i go there and other kids played sports. he grew up playing sports and black kids from chicago, sometimes i would get a chance to play with them even a neonatty and sass swastika on m neck. when you play sports with guys you start walking back to your cells and we talk about life because we are 17-year-old kid in adult prison and we take our girlfriends and who had a baby on the way because i had a baby on the way. we get to know each other so they knew more about me than my own gang in prison. these guys knew more about my life. when i got out of prison, i couldn't get a job. i was aggravated kid with that on my record and swastika on my neck and ain't good people skills and a jewish guy gives me
3:41 am
a job selling antique futurnitu. ed, i don't care, just don't break my furniture. >> i want to get something even more productive out of this. what would you say to people who are in these neonazi gangs right now and who may be feeling that fear? what would you say to them? how would you take what happened to you in prison and changed you and move it into the outside world and hope that it changes somebody else? how do they do that when they are where they are? >> i mean, if they love being a human being but i can't change them in a sound bite. you have to find out who the human being is and treat them as human beings. when i used to walk in meese marches and one of the bad guys in these marches people throw bottles at me. i never ducked a bottle and thought, whoa, i better change my beliefs here. now i prove more of what i'm standing for. i need for people to talk to me as a human being and have a conversation with me and where
3:42 am
people change. you want to protest racism? protest a private prison industry. that is real racism. that is where you really start. >> are you able to talk to any of these neonazis now? do they talk to you? do they ask for your advice? do you see hope in what you see in what we saw in charlottesville that change can happen? >> change can always happen for a human being and it will happen. look. the alt right is just renamed all of the other racists gone through history rebranding now and come to an end always and a violent end probably. oklahoma city bombing? i hope not. what we need to all remember and before you cut me off remember the end result of is this a fireman running do you a street with a dead little girl in his hands and that is the oklahoma city bombing. the images you have to remember. this is where we have to stop this from going because humanity wins in the end but on the wrong
3:43 am
side of history but how long it takes us to get there? i don't know and i hope we can have it happen without the violence. >> you you are a great voice for this, frank. thank you for sharing your perspective and let us understand a little more how these things take place. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> important conversation there. he broke through the color barrier, became an iconic comedian, and went on to fight for equal rights. this morning, we remember the life of dick gregory. >> i feel so sorry for willie. i hate to any baseball player having troubles. but that is a great sport for my people that is the only sport in the world where negro can shake a stick at a white man and it won't start no riot. >> in the '60s, gregory was one of the early black performers to headline at white comedy clubs and got a break in 1961 when the "playboy" club asked him to fill in and they offered him then a

we are just hours away from the united states and south korea starting joint military drills off the korean peninsula. north korea is warning the countries it sees those exercises as, quote, reckless north korea threatening it can strike the u.s. at any moment. it brings the u.s. and north korea to the brink of nuclear war. >> it is a massive bomber that fly like a jet. and u.s. and south korea military drill starting tomorrow is using the b-1 bomber. here is martin savidge in guam. >> reporter: the plane that kim
3:50 am
jong-un hates. putting guam at the top of north korea's hit list. we were given a close-up look at both. anderson air force base on the northern end of the island of guam has been wornaround since d war ii but increasingly taking on a role for possible military action against north korea. >> we train every day and our readiness make us ready to fight tonight because we have this power projection here behind us. >> reporter: the u.s. grows more and more concerned about the possibility of north korea launching a nuclear missile this base and its bombers are called the tip of the sphere with their ability to launch preemptive strike on north korean missile sites if so ordered. b-1 bombers working in pairs making the flight from guam to the korean peninsula a mission of about ten hours. the air force call the flights routine and you can also call them something else -- practice.
3:51 am
