4:00 am
frozen. >> this is a really great guy. a lot of people are never going to get to know him. >> you know what this represents? it's the calm before the storm. >> it could be nothing. it could be something. >> when he should be calming the storm, he's predicting one. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alyson camerota. good morning. welcome to your "new day". alyson is off. and that means i have poppy harlow joining me. >> welcome back to this chair. you've been all around the world. >> four cities in five days. it's good to get the kids on vacation with frequent flyer miles. investigators still don't know what drove a man to carry out the deadliest mass shooting in modern american history. it is not for a lack of trying. we have never seen anything or anyone like this. authorities are analyzing the killer's computers. there is a note we now know that
4:01 am
he left in his hotel suite. reportedly it was just a series of numbers. so far no major clues about motivation at least that may have been made public. >> he may have been casing other locations in other cities before the las vegas massacre on sunday cnn learned he tried to buy tracer bullets but failed that would have allowed him to see what he was shooting at. and honoring charleston hartfield, the off-duty las vegas police officer. we start with jean casarez. good morning, jean. >> reporter: good morning, poppy. as you are saying, law enforcement is not saying anything about motive, why this killer did what he did. the fbi tells cnn they have hundreds of people working on the investigation at this point. meanwhile, harrowing video now released from the scene as the
4:02 am
bullets were coming. we want to worn you this may be very disturbing. >> who is the gun with gunshots? >> he is. >> he has a shell casing in his arm. >> reporter: civilians racing to save the wounded in this heart-wrenching video minutes after the attack. >> get in the truck. get in the truck. >> get behind the [ bleep ] wall. >> reporter: raymon page risking his own life to get the injured medical help, loading them into his truck, and driving them to safety. >> i have five wounded. >> gunshot wound to the chest here. >> somebody help, please. please. >> reporter: the killer recently attempted to buy tracer ammunition at a gun show in the phoenix area but was not
4:03 am
successful. the ammo which is legal and looks like this, would have allowed him to be more accurate while shooting in the dark. five days after the massacre, investigators finding few clues to understand why he did this. "new york times" reporting that police did find this note in his hotel room that contained numbers still being analyzed. authorities are also looking into whether the killer was casing other large events. in august, a person with the killer's name reserved a room at chicago's blackstone hotel during the lalapalooza music festival, but the person never checked in. this after police confirmed that days before the massacre the killer rented a room at this downtown las vegas condo complex overlooking another much larger music festival.
4:04 am
and we're learning just how far the killer's gunshots traveled. vegas international airport confirming that two rounds struck this 43,000 barrel jet fuel tank, which is roughly 1,100 feet from the concert site. and even farther from the killer's location on the 32nd floor of the mandalay bay resort. thousands gathering to honor off-duty police officer charleston hartfield, an 11-year veteran of the las vegas metropolitan police department. the nation mourns the 58 victims. law enforcement also not saying anything about forensic examination of his electronics
4:05 am
devices, cell phones, computers, the hotel room, his homes and vehicles. >> jean, appreciate it. >> let's bring in our panel. james gagliano and phillip mud. now that we have this new information and more unknowns, what stands out to you. >> we go back to the piece that no prior military training that we know of, yet somehow put together a plan with military precision. the newest news is he attempted to go to a gun show and purchase tracer rounds. for some reason he was companied. >> because you need? >> they help improve accuracy. 4:1 ratio. for every four cartridges, there is one tracer equipped with a pyrotechnic on it so it burns. >> we're looking at it. >> if you look on the screen now, at night that is going to help you not have to use your mechanical sights.
4:06 am
he had eight points and being equipped with tracers would allow him to sit a top of his weapon and just spray plunging fire into the crowd. >> a few other things we know, phil mudd. two of those shots reached a fuel tank at mccarron airport. didn't blow up or anything. it hit it. whether it was meant to or not, we don't know. and he left a note with numbers in his room that the sheriff says is not a suicide note, not a manifesto. >> he has an operational plan we're not aware of. he looked at other locations. chicago, illinois. we see now potentially a separate target at the airport. we know he was a meticulous -- >> this is not a closeup, but they found a note highlighted there. >> if you look at his background, a meticulous guy in terms of how his family talks about how he was playing the numbers on the slots, meticulous in terms of planning this
4:07 am
operation. let's put those two together. meticulous guy. he is looking at potential multiple targets. i think it is an operational plan. this is everything i'm thinking about. this is how i'm going to execute is it. i suspect we will realize as the feds say and the cops say, it is not a manifesto, not a suicide note. he is saying i better chart this out. >> so the how is important because it can lead you to an accomplice or where he got help or no help. okay. but there is still the biggest piece missing. what would motivate somebody to do something so evil and certainly not spur of the moment. certainly not having snapped. and we don't have any proof of any type of untreated mental illness. so where does that leave you? >> well, we know terror created by what he did. authorities have been careful not to classify this as terrorism. we have the violence and intimidation. we just don't have the defined
4:08 am
or gleaned political motive or social motive here. i think as we start to build this out, two things we are looking at. phil can certainly speak to this. looking at two different angles. human intelligence. that's going to be concertgoers, people at the hotel. >> definitely. >> absolutely. it is critical. and the other one is intelligence. they are still going and building out. you're going to have a good picture of the three days he stayed at the hotel. we will go further beyond that. cameras will capture his movements. and i believe the police obviously on know this now, how he got the guns into the hotel room. now we know he has been to other plates we consider possible casing of another crime. now, one of two things could happen. he could have gone to louisia lalapalooza and wanted to do this and changed his mind, or it could have been a dry run for what he ultimately did in vegas. >> miss girlfriend, marilou
4:09 am
danley, the only person who had contact with him. he parentally didn't have any friends, wasn't that close to his family. she came back on her own volition from the philippines to talk to authorities. what now? if you're in the room questioning here, having her take a polygraph, what are you asking her? everything she has said is i had no idea. this is not the man i knew. >> to determine whether she is being truthful. i want to box her. i want to ask her questions. >> explain what boxing somebody is. >> what i mean is i want to look at what i know already i know her communications. i have cell phones and e-mail addresses for the subject. i know whether she's talk to my knowledge. i have looked at the house already. i have some information about her life. she doesn't know exactly what i know. i will go with some questions where i know the answer and she doesn't know the answer. simple example. did she communicate with him after she went overseas. she presumably knows the feds
4:10 am
know that. if she is not thinking she is saying i didn't talk to him. i thought he was going to break up. we know during cell phone collection there were three calls. now i have a problem. i know she's not truthful. once i get truth i can move on like did you have financial issues, did he have ever talk about frustrations. i don't think she knew about the event but she knows about the mind-s mind-set. >> he bought 33 guns in the last year and they live together. >> the layers we have never seen before. so far beyond the number of lives he stole. and that's why we want answers so badly. we'll stay on it. gentlemen, thank you very much. have a good weekend. president trump has many today wondering once again, why did he say that? the president said the calm before the storm after a meeting with military leaders. it comes as officials tell cnn president trump is prepared to decertify the iran nuclear deal next week.
4:11 am
joe johns at the white house with more. he has a lot of people scramble to go figure out where his head's at. >> reporter: chris, that's absolutely right. these were impromptu remarks, confusing at the same time. the president said this during an unscheduled photo spray in which journalists were ushered in to record what he said and then ushered right out before he sat down to dinner with his top military leaders and their spouses, leaving the world to wonder what he meant. >> you know what this represents? maybe it's the calm before the storm. >> reporter: when pressed by reporters, the president refuse said to clarify.
4:12 am
>> what storm, mr. president? >> you'll find out. >> the white house decline to go elaborate on what storm the president was referring to. but his administration is currently confronting a range of urgent foreign policy matters, including iran, north korea, isis and niger. where three u.s. green berets were killed this week. two seniors say they are planning to decertify the iran nuclear deal next week. >> they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement. >> reporter: going against the advice of his top national security advisers, including secretary of state rex tillerson and defense secretary james mattis. >> do you believe it's in our national security interest to remain in the jcpoa? >> yes, senator, i do. >> reporter: the matter would be kicked to congress which would
4:13 am
have 60 days to determine a path forward. early thursday the president admonishing his generals about the time it takes the pentagon to provide him with military options with this stunning rebuke. >> moving forward, i also expect you to provide me with a broad range of military options when needed at a much faster pace. i know government bureaucracy is slow, but i'm depending on you to overcome the obstacles of bureaucracy. >> reporter: on top of the president's cryptic comments last night, the president tweeted, weighing in on the hotly contested virginia governor's race that is now entering the final stretch. the president bashing the democrat, supporting the republican, and using immigration as the issue. it reads ralph northam fighting for the ms-13 killer gangs and sanctuary cities. vote ed gillespie. >> joe, appreciate it. thank you.
4:14 am
breaking news. hurricane watches issued for parts of the gulf coast. yes, it is happening again. tropical storm nate is churning toward the region. it has already taken 20 lives in central america. cnn meteorologist chad myers has the latest models. what happens when it hits land? >> it very well may be a hurricane. that's why the hurricane watches are up absolutely. even with storm surge watches as well. taking a similar path, not hitting florida. taking a similar path like katrina but not with the power that katrina had certainly. 45 miles per hour. it is still very warm. the water in the 86, 87-degree range. so that is hot. it stays in the gulf of mexico. by tomorrow night it is already on land. this is a very, very quick mover. it moves to the north and northeast from there. maybe even bringing down power lines for mississippi, alabama, into georgia. so that is something not out of the question here. this is where the watches and the warnings are at least for right now. we are seeing the watches right on the gulf coast. that pink area, that's the hurricane watch.
4:15 am
here comes the storm. there is the cone. it's a category one storm, possibly 80 miles per hour. it could be bigger than that because the water is so warm it is just not going to be in the water very long because it's moving fast. >> i guess that's our best hope, the speed is of the storm. it moves over the area quickly enough that it doesn't overwhelm, take any lives, do any real damage. thank you very much, my friend. >> you're welcome. taking action after the las vegas massacre. two lawmakers on opposite ides of the aisle are proposing legislation to help prevent another killer from using bump stocks. they join us next. kevin, meet your father. kevin

throughout history, the one meal when we come together,
4:19 am
break bread, share our day and connect as a family. [ bloop, clicking ] and connect, as a family. just, uh one second voice guy. [ bloop ] huh? hey? i paused it. bam, family time. so how is everyone? find your awesome with xfinity xfi and change the way you wifi. 58 lives stolen, hundreds and hundreds forever changed by one evil man with a plan and a ton of weapons, including a legal device that made them fire almost like machine guns. so what do we do?
4:20 am
many are saying it's insensitive to discuss what to do. but that is political b.s. here's the good news. a bipartisan group of lawmakers are calling for change. two congressmen are introducing a piece of legislation that would ban these bump stocks, the device that the vegas murdererer used to turn a semiautomatic to something problems mating automatic fire. joining us is republican congressman carlos cravello and seth multan. gentlemen, thank you for being with us today. thank you for doing something. carlos, what are you doing and why? >> chris, we identified, and seth and i have teamed up on these issues in the past. but here we identified something that is a clear and flagrant sir couple srepbgz of law.
4:21 am
since 1986, automatic weapons are illegal in this country. yet these devices allow them to turn legal weapons into illegal weapons that can be used for massacres like the one we saw this past e gun policy. >> the nra says how did the atf do it? this was their reckoning during the obama administration. it is a guideline. let them do itment don't make it a law. what do you think of that? >> well, the problem is that the atf ruled that under the law as passed, these devices are legal. they were doing their regulatory job of interpreting existing law. if that's their interpretation, obviously we need to change the law. >> so that's why it has to be legalment all right. so then -- >> that's right.
4:22 am
>> all right. so then we take something that is good but could be seen as a good start, carlos. it is not enough. it is something, but you have a broader discussion about this guy being able to stockpile 33 weapons, the kinds of weapons, the kinds of review, the lack of coordination among the people who are doing the background checks because he was in different states, different venues. how do you address that? should you address that? >> that's a fair point. and i think a lot of people are going to call for more, chris. but i don't want to initial what we're doing. for decades, compromise between republicans and democrats on this issue has been elusive. we have gotten absolutely nothing. this might be a small but i think a very important step towards moving to a more rational conversation about guns in this country. seth moul ton and i also introduced legislation having to do with individuals under fbi investigation with ties to terrorism and their ability to
4:23 am
obtain any type of weapon. sure, we can talk about other things. but i think for now we should keep the focus on this point where there seems to be a growing bipartisan consensus. i can tell you yesterday my office was flooded with calls from republican lawmakers, colleagues here, not even knowing the details of our bill but very interested in getting on board. i don't want to lose that momentum. if we can get something done, it will be something to celebrate. >> it is such an interesting dynamic. congress couldn't even get through. people on the no fly list, they can't get guns on a no fly list, they couldn't even agree on that. the timing is the precise obstacle, the argument, in full disclosure, is absurd. but i will get your take on it. you want to be sensitive to the victims so you don't talk about guns right now because that's insensitive. what do you make of that? >> chris, first of all, my heart
4:24 am
goes out to the victims. i served in iraq. i have seen the effects of gun violence firsthand. it is terrible. and i can't imagine what these families must be going through right now. but this is a time for action. this is a time when we've got to act to keep our communities safe and prevent these things from happening in the future as much as we possibly can. what carlos and i are talking about is common sense reforms. they are supported by the vast majority of americans. it is critical they are bipartisan. i think that is one thing we have learned from this effort. the bill we had in the last congress was also bipartisan but we didn't have the momentum behind it to get it passed. today we have that momentum so is it is time to act. >> all right. while i have you two, and, look, we will cover it all the way through. i know these moments tend to lead to spotlight, the isn't there for coverage.
4:25 am
that will not happen. when you put it out there, we will cover it 6th step along the way is and see what happens with it. let me play a piece of sound for both of you from the president. >> you guys know what this represents? (inaudible). maybe it's the calm before the storm. >> what's the storm? >> could be the calm before the storm. >> what storm is it, mr. president? thank you all for coming. thank you. >> what storm, mr. president. >> you'll find out. >> congressman curbelo, what storm? tropical storm nate? what's he talking about there? >> i'll be very honest with you, chris. if you could summarize quickly what he said because i couldn't hear the audio there. >> he said what you're looking at could be the calm before the storm as he was sitting with his full senior military panel at their yearly meeting.
4:26 am
>> okay. i have seen that. >> and he was asked, what storm. he said, you'll find out. >> i really don't know. perhaps it has something to do with north korea, with something else. i hope the white house will come out and clarify this today because obviously if any kind of storm is coming, whether it's hurricane nate or another foreign policy kind of storm, members of congress should know and i think the american people should know. >> obviously i'm being sarcastic when i say tropical storm nate. seth, is this okay when he says something like that? should it be dismissed as a joke, a rhetorical tphrourb issue by an entertainer? how should we take it? >> it's not okay, chris. because the problem is we ought to be able to trust our commander in chief. we don't know. maybe this is the time we threatened and our motto is headed towards north korea. shortly thereafter we found out it was headed in the opposite direction. or maybe he's talking about doing something more serious and potentially more reckless. we have to be able to rust our
4:27 am
commander in chief. and i think americans he realize we just can't right now. that's why we have no idea what he's talking about. >> gentlemen, thank you for your take on that. we'll be watching your measure every step of the way. good weekend to you both. thank you for announcing this on "new day". >> thank you, chris. >> thank you. ahead for us, a family that is suffering unimaginable pain after the attack in las vegas. their loving mother remains in critical condition. and the children met with president trump this week. they will join us live.
4:28 am
4:29 am
4:30 am
4:31 am
it is the victims, the survivors, their families, the first responders. they are the most important out of the las vegas massacre. those are the people you should remember. a family is with us going through unimaginable pain. they were at the country music festival with their mother rosemarie. a bullet hit rosemarie.
4:32 am
paige was grazed but a let as well. their mother is still in critical condition. thank you for being here. steve, let me just start with you. how is rosemarie doing? i know she just got out of her second surgery. how is she doing? >> she's doing better. she's still critical. still can't talk to her. she is still on life support with a ventilator. after talking with her doctor she had more damage than we thought. she has developed a complication with her kidneys. her kidneys were also injured because of the loss of blood, the amount of the loss of blood to her kidneys. how the doctors are addressing that issue. but they're optimistic and
4:33 am
hopeful that she will overcome the situation with her kidneys. the bullet passed through right about here. from the trajectory from the 32nd floor, went through her body and ended up in her an dough phe abdomen. it penetrated her stomach, it penetrated her spleen, and it also penetrated her lung and her liver took the brunt of the force of the bullet. >> you know, girls, stephanie and paige, i know we were talking in the break. i know what it is like to be in that room with a parent when they're on a ventilator and they can't talk to you. and it is so scary. but i also know that your mom knows you're there. why don't you tell us. if she is recovering, stephanie, start to tell us a little bit about your mom. that picture of you guys at the concert, this was a fun-loving
4:34 am
mom you have. >> yeah, she was. she is. it was a mother's day present from my boyfriend and i. my sister and i have gone to the concert since the first year. we attended every year. we come home and talk to our mom and tell her how much fun we were having. we enjoy country music. we enjoy our friends. we enjoy the company. and she talked about wanting to go one year. we were so excited that she could come this year. so it's hard that we finally were able to take her and this is the outcome of it. >> paige, i know you were also shot. and you took a bullet that grazed your arm. i'm glad to see you're doing okay. but it is terrifying. >> thank you. >> and i know it was 11 hours between when you knew if your
4:35 am
mom was even okay. >> yeah. it was horrifying really. i got separated from everyone. i was taken by ambulance to the hospital to get treated for my arm. but because there were so many more people that were so much more severe than i was, i was in and out. they just said -- they checked my vitals after an i.v. and said can you walk? i said absolutely. and he said, okay, come back the next day. so my arm was wrapped when i got to the hospital already. the first responders had a tent on las vegas boulevard and had wrapped my arm already there. so they didn't even look at it when i initially got to the hospital. and then from there i had to go home and tell my grandma, her mom, that there had been an accident and we didn't know where she was. with that, i had to, you know, stay by her side. she's 88 years old.
quote
4:36 am
she could not afford to be up and running around all over town looking for her either. so i had to stay with her and just sit and wait and hope and pray that she was found. the second we were informed she was found, we were down at the hospital. then as soon as i saw her and made sure i saw her breathing, i went and checked myself back into the e.r. she said the wound was only about an inch or two deep and stitched me up. >> steve, you are the rock holding your family together right now, your girls by your side. i don't know if you have even had time to process all of this. there were those 11 hours you thought your wife, the love of your life, you thought rosemarie might be dead. >> yeah. as everything was happening to the girls and to my wife, about an hour beforehand she texted me, my wife texted me and said
4:37 am
she's having so much fun. so we had a small conversation by text. and stephanie texted me with the same happy thoughts of how much fun they were having. shortly after, within five minutes after, i got a text from stephanie saying omg, omg. so i thought maybe they saw somebody. and then the next text was there is a shooting in front of us. the next text after that mom was hit and mom is downment. so i called stephanie. and in all the chaos she told me, daddy, daddy, i'm sorry. and that's the last conversation i had, the last text i spoke with my wife. so while that all was happening,
4:38 am
i headed immediately down. but i couldn't get there. the roads were blocked. so i talked to one sergeant that was there, and he told me the best thing to do was head to umc hospital, that most likely she would be transported there. i went there and met other family members there. and i will remember that there was another woman that was there. we talked. she cried. i told her about my wife. she cried, hemmed me. i cried. i held her. i asked about her loved one. and she told me that her husband was shot in the head. from there, the police had us go to the police station with all other family members for briefings and updates. they had three different times they came out with updates of
4:39 am
the victims in the hospitals. the third time my wife's name was not on the list, my heart sunk to my knees. i thought, she's dead. that was my first thought. but i still had hope. i still had hope that somebody would find her. up until that time we didn't know where she was. but eventually we were led to sunrise hospital. >> and they did. there's this amazing story, stephanie. this amazing story. first of all, your boyfriend, you call your boyfriend, this guy served in the army, served our country. he races over there, in your words, like a bat out of hell. i hope i can say that on on morning television. really, though. and here he is helping you, helping paige. and saving people's lives with tourniquet tourniquets. >> yeah. i called him as soon as it
4:40 am
happened. i was just yelling into the phone. i couldn't hear anything on the other line. i made sure my call had gone through. i knew it was going through. i know he could hear me but i couldn't hear anything. he came down to look for us. he got in between police cars, ambulances, jumped over curbs as fast as he could. he searched for us and couldn't find us. he searched for my mom and cooperate find my mom. he couldn't help himself but start to help those who had been wounded and hurt. anything he could do. >> i think this is a guy you keep by your side for a really long time. let's talk about meeting with the president. i know that you guys got to meet with the president and the first lady. and that was really meaningful. can you tell us about it? >> yeah. i received a lot of calls and texts about oh, my gosh, how
4:41 am
exciting, you got to meet the president and the first lady. what was the experience like? what did you think? you know, even this moment, he's a real human. she's a real human. they had a heart. they were caring. they were sympathetic. they had a listening ear. he sends his condolences. >> and she raced over to hug you. >> it was hard to take in. yes, yes. before he could finish talking, she got up and just beelined over to us and just hugged me and told me your mom is strong. she's a fighter. she'll be okay. she's going to make it. >> she is, according to what the doctors are telling you, she is a fighter. >> yeah. >> steve, can you -- >> a warrior that way. >> steve, can you tell us a little bit about what she was like as a mother especially
4:42 am
early on. i think about when i look at my husband with our daughter and just how he lights up holding her. what was she like holding these little girls when they were tiny? >> all her kids, all our children, she just lit up like a lightbulb. she was the mother that you would dream about to have raising kids. she was all for the kids. put herself secondary to her kids. she always took care of them, saw them through dance school, worked. we worked two jobs. i worked three jobs to help put them school, put them through dance. now they are both professional dance teachers. in fact, they just have their own studio we opened about a year ago. so we had so much love and support from the students, from
4:43 am
the parents. the outpouring of love here in las vegas too. not only just our dance troupe but the whole community rallied together. it was an incredible experience. we have people that we know, people that we don't know from around the country, from around the world supporting us. and it's just an incredible feeling. and my or heart goes out to all the family members. i met several family members and listened to their stories. and it's heartbreaking for those still injured critically in the hospital along with my wife. i pray for them. i pray for the families that lost their family members. my heart is broken for them, for those who lost their loved ones. and i'll always remember that, you know. i don't know them but i will always remember them. >> we will all always remember them. and from all of us here at cnn,
4:44 am
we can't wait until the day that you guys get to sit down, have dinner together, go to your dance studio together and be your full family again. we wish you all the best. thank you so much. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> chris? the mother everyone dreamed of being. they worked multiple jobs, raised those girls. pretty unbelievable. >> and now this, which, you know, you hope winds up being ultimately a bonding, you know, but what a way to have to live through something. so many lives affected by something so terrible. >> he said they know their mom knows they're in that room. even though she can't talk to them, she knows they're standing by her bed. >> those stories, you have to update them. it is is part of being connected to this situation. all right. we'll have more stories of haroism and horror because of this las vegas massacre. a deputy police chief from texas
4:45 am
was one of thousands at the music festival when shots rang out. this chief stops and puts his life in danger to help people in need. cnn's ed lavandara tells us how he went beyond the call of duty. >> reporter: bruce uhr had the best seat in the house, right on stage. >> some of the performers were walking on stage, walking up to the microphone. it was like a dream come true. >> reporter: when gunfire killed the music, the best seat in the house turned into a front row seat to the most horrific massacre in modern american history. >> i thought i was going to die but i knew i wouldn't die without fighting. >> reporter: even after 33 years in law enforcement, he had never experienced an attack like this. >> i was right in this corner right here, which is the closest spot inside the venue.
4:46 am
>> reporter: when the gunfire erupted, the chief dropped to the ground. a bullet fragment sliced his finger. >> that's probably what saved my life. when that hit, i knew i was in the wrong spot. >> reporter: they raced for cover between two buses where he recorded this chilling video. >> bullets flying everywhere. it reminded me of the old westerns where the outlaw kills somebody. okay, dance. and he starts shooting the ground around him. that's exactly what it was like. you could watch the rounds popping everywhere. >> reporter: he knew the only way to survive was to run, as they tried to escape, the killer took aim at them again. >> i could hear it hitting the pavement behind us. as we're running, you could feel some of the asphalt kicking up on the back of your legs. i hollered at my friend, he's almost on us. but then it stopped.
4:47 am
