2:59 am
brown t-shirt to reveal a white woman. they took it down quickly. they said in a statement that it doesn't represent the diversity of real beauty, this is something dove is passionate about. you can see it missed the mark, dove said. people saying, exactly what was your mark? because that was really tasteless. >> they say they intended to celebrate diversity. >> thanks for joining us. >> the president's actions could put the u.s. on course for world war three. day starts right now. i'm sure corporate is not going for forget insults. he is accused of running the white house like a reality show. >> things much worse than that. >> president trump possibly scuttling the bipartisan effort to protect d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> this is hard for them to say
3:00 am
yes to. >> we made a promise to our d.r.e.a.m.ers. america should keep its promises. >> 97-page deposition gives us fresh insight into his mind four years before the shooting. >> he had that written down, figured out where to shoot. >> still no clear idea why he did this. that is very frustrate to go investigators. >> this is "new day" with chris cuomo and alyson camerota. >> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "new day". it is monday, october 9th, 6:00 here in new york. chris is off today. bill weir just joins me. >> great to be with you, my friend. >> here's our starting line. president trump's escalating feud with the top republican takes another nasty turn after repeated attacks from mr. trump, senator bob corker said the president is treating the white house like a "reality show" and that the president's threats could put the nation "on the
3:01 am
path to world war ii." they are threatening to denounce the president's hardline measures. vice president mike pence's walkout of an nfl game after players kneeled is asking how much did this p.r. stunt cost tax payers. one week after the deadliest mass shooting investigators are still stumped on the killer's motive. could a deposition from a lawsuit four years ago provide any clues at all? we have the hraelas vegas kille his own words. an all-star celebrity panel. but let's start with the latest on the bob corker rift with low johns.
3:02 am
>> reporter: the president of the united states and a republican senator seemed to lay bear the long simmering tensions between the president and the very congress he will need to get his agenda through capitol hill. in a scathingry teak, senator bob corker telling the new york sometimes that president trump's reckless threats could put the u.s. on the path to world war iii. he concerns me. he would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation. he said he is treating the presidency like a reality show remarking, i know for a fact that every single day at the white house, it's a situation of trying to contain him. corker's blunt criticism coming after the president bashed him sunday morning suggesting corker
3:03 am
begged him to re endorendorse h election. he calls the white house an adult you day care center. >> secretary tillerson, secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. >> reporter: this as the trump administration derailed any deal with democrats to protect d.r.e.a.m.ers, unveiling a long list of demands in exchange for legislative solution, a crackdown on unaccompanied minors from central america, funding the border wall. democratic leadership he denouncing the proposal saying the administration can't be serious about comp phaoeugz or helping the d.r.e.a.m.ers if they begin with this list. it fails to represent any attempt at compromise. all this while vice president mike pence is facing criticism for amplifying the president's
3:04 am
feud with the nfl. the v.p. walking out of sunday's indianapolis colts game after some players knelt during the national anthem. president trump quickly taking credit, i asked pence to leave in any players kneeled. the vice president traveled from las vegas where he was paying tribute to the victims of the massacre to indianapolis for the game and then back to las vegas. cnn estimated the travel cost to be around a quarter million dollars. had pence skipped the game, it would have been substantially lower. >> the last time he has been to a colts game was three years ago. it seems like a p.r. stunt to me. he knew we have the most players to protest. this is what oppression looks like. >> reporter: an aide defended the decision to travel back to
3:05 am
indiana. it reads, if the vice president did not go to in in for the colts game, he would have flown back to d.c. for the evening, which means flying directly over indiana. instead, he made a shorter trip to indiana for a game that was on his schedule for several weeks. bill and alyson, back to you. >> thank you very much. we have a lot of discuss with our political panel. we have cnn political commentator michael smerconish and john avalon and carla dimmersion. what senator bob corker said to the "new york times" is extraordinary. extraordinary. he is unplugged now and saying things people have only said off the record or whispered about in the halls of congress. and he is now saying them. >> and in drop the mike terms. this is the head of the foreign senate relations committee.
3:06 am
when he said the president trump is core donning world war iii and every day is an excellent in containment because he treats it like a reality show, and it is like adult day care. he is not criticizing the president. this is what many are saying in private. that's why it has the force of revelation and people should pay attention. this is what people in washington in the know are saying every day. >> some of the quotes here from this are staggering. i don't know why the president tweets out things that are not true. you know he does it, everyone knows he does it, but he does it. michael smerconish, as john was saying, this is not a never trumper cheerleader. he was a short lister for vice president and secretary of state. >> hey, bill, the lawyer in me hears something different. i'm thinking of the 25th amendment, section 4, which speaks to a president who is unable to discharge the powers of duties of his office. let's just reflect on some of the word choices that senator
3:07 am
corker has made. post charlottesville, he was questioning the stability of the president. now he's using the word reckless, chaos. now he is saying he concerns me. i think he's planting seeds for questionable the fitness, the mental fitness of the president pursuant to the 25th amendment to continue with his responsibilitys. >> you think that bob corker is that deliberate, that he is deliberately choosing words that will lay the groundwork for that? >> take a look at the amendment and then say, alyson, okay, how would you make an argument, what sort of things would you say in making a case to fulfill section 4 of the 25th amendment? those words would be at the top of the list. >> carin, your thoughts? >> we have yet to hear corker say anything on that directly. this is a big turnaround with
3:08 am
him. playing a role in trying to bolster trump sur gates, secretary of state, his defense secretary, against the onslaught from at various times, the president. things have been bubbling for a while. and trump's choice to attack corker yesterday is what led him to decide to unleash this. the question is if it's been this bad, where do you go from here? why haven't you been letting this out of the bag before? there's a lot that could be done between -- look, he laid out the spectrum. you can get to the 25th amendment. or there's a lot more that members of congress could be doing to block the president, frankly, if they are this frustrated with him >> regardless of whether he's just frustrated, or as you have seen in some chatter, this is corker 2020. but regardless of the -- this president still has to work with this man who is the head of the foreign relations committee.
3:09 am
>> yeah. but that kind of normal calculus doesn't seem to apply. he routinely goes out of his way to alien ate allies, home is and abroad. it does create a stumbling block for any legislation. if he wants to kick the iran deal into congress, doesn't help to attack the head of the senate foreign relations committee. michael makes a good point as to where the conversation may be going. this is something increasingly been acknowledged. members of congress, if they want to contain the president's worst impulses, they need to say not only what they mean. still a lot of folks feel effectively hostages to the base. even though the president is at 36% or thereabouts, the base still loves him. >> that's speak about what things are already on the table. so the president seems to now be walking back the deal that chuck
3:10 am
schumer and nancy pelosi thought they had with d.r.e.a.m.ers. you'll remember he got so much pushback from observers like steve bannon's ilk, that they say, no, the funding for the wall is part of it. that's not what chuck schumer and nancy pelosi heard. >> when he reneged on the commitment that president obama made to the d.r.e.a.m.ers, you'll remember it was jeff sessions that he sent out in front of a podium to make that statement. very soon thereafter, the president started a succession of tweets where he essentially said he was going to protect the d.r.e.a.m.ers. the meeting came with so-called chuck and nancy. i can't believe the democrats would ever go along with funding the wall, which is very much a part of what is at the heart of this. it would be natural for him to say there are a couple things i want in connection with rendering a deal.
3:11 am
but the walk will be the breakpoint. that's how i see it. >> a list of demands, complete construction of the southern border wall. nonstarter for democrats. crackdown on sanctuary cities. visa overstays. expediting renewal. limited family-based green cards to spouses and minority children, making it harder for those who are here legally to bring family members over. points of entry for green cards. tight especially asylum. what are your thoughts on this? >> we have seen a lot of hints that some of these items were going to be on there before. there was a lot of flurry about the points-based system. there's republicans that aren't going to like aspects of this deal either. republicans that really don't like the idea of trump's wall. you saw a whole bunch of them trying to trod out an alternate strategy for security over the summer because they were trying
3:12 am
to get ahead of the president. they know, one, it's a live wire and, two, it's not very practical. it is not so much a deal but a reiteration of the promises the president made when he was a candidate. this is not something that will get through with full republican support, not even to go into that category. >> you said the right words, which is wish list. there's a real case obviously. there are people in the republican party and the white house who are horrified trump would try to make a deal with chuck and nancy over this deal. they put four things that could be poison pills. they do it intentionally. this is a wish list, not a list of literal demands. a lot of kabuki whatever what's possible and what's not. is it a steep hill to climb? absolutely. don't take it as gospel. take it as poison pills.
3:13 am
it is not exactly where it will end up. >> it sounds like president trump is in a spat with secretary of state tillerson, with leading republican bob corker, with chuck and nancy. >> the nfl. >> the nfl. who do we think are his allies? >> it's another monday at the office, the oval office. the point i wanted to make, you can't be fighting with bob corker when you're trying to make a deal with the d.r.e.a.m.ers and do something relative to the iranian deal and get taxes done. his political skills in the past we know. what could be the grand plan as to how he puts these pieces together? i just don't see it. i don't see how this is the art of the deal. >> i'm too polite to bring that up again, michael smerconish, to
3:14 am
mentioned places where you have had some misconceptions on things. but thank you panel very much. thank you. will american tax payers get the tab for mike pence's walkout of an nfl game? ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ well i'm gone

3:18 am
vice president mike pence is standing by the president's side in his ongoing battle with players, several players on the san francisco 49ers. took a knee during the national anthem before their game with the colts on sunday. and vice president mike pence announced on twitter he had walked out of the game about eight minutes later, saying he didn't want to dig phi the demonstration. since the president seems to have sent him there, since he held the pool or, the press pool in their cars before exiting that game -- >> he said he wouldn't be there a long time. >> you wait in the car. i'm going to make this statement and come back out. now folks on the other side, wonder if this is an expensive political stunt. bring back our panel michael smerconish, john avalon and caroun. john, this was going away. this whole spat seemed to be dying down as it does week to
3:19 am
week, the players kneeling. this seems like a deliberate effort to pour gasoline back on the fire. >> he considers these distractions and deflectors an asset. whatever the polling says. to go to his first colts game in three years, the press told to stay in the car, guys. this is going to be a quick hit at tax payer expense, that is tough to take. >> we send vice presidents to state funerals. >> that is to inflame a culture war. >> caroun, it wasn't a surprise. they have been doing this since colin kaepernick started.
3:20 am
what are we to make of it? >> it doesn't seem like it is an unintentional gut reaction given all the parameters and elements you just described with the press staying in the car. it was a microcosm of the summer. another march in charlottesville. that doesn't inspire the same outrage as the football players taking a knee which started over the summer. it is not on exactly the same thing but generally speaking about the same issue that started over the summer that we saw apparently nephew got fully resolved as far as the white house goes. even though there was this backlash from the country, it does not seem to have changed their approach to these two elements. we are so critical of how they are being judged publicly. is this the last time we will see pence go to a football game? maybe if the backlash is strong enough for the price tag. we just came off the tom price
3:21 am
thing about cost of flights. but is this the last we will hear about the nfl? i don't think so. we're just at the start of the season. we could go a while. >> we can show the price tag just to show everybody. he flew from las vegas to indianapolis. that is a $100,000 flight. then indianapolis to los angeles, $142,000 flight. estimated $242,000. >> the statement from the vice president said if the vice president did not go to in in for the colts game, he would have flown back to d.c., which means flying over indiana. instead he made a shorter trip to indiana. >> that doesn't make sense. then he flew to los angeles. >> exactly. michael, whether or not we get
3:22 am
hung up on the price tag and the tom price kerfuffle, is picking a fight with the and hoping their popularity goes down of this a smart political move? >> yes. the short answer is yes. i think this is a winning issue for the white house. the polling data i have seen suggest a majority of americans agree with the president and the vice president that there should not be kneeling during the anthem. although the same polling has shown that folks did not like when the president referred to colin kaepernick indirectly as an s.o.b. john avalon is right. the white house has never shown in 10 months awe desire to build bridges and expand the base. if we have seen one thing consistently, it has been reinforcing the viewpoints of those who got them where they are. this is a great issue on that score. frankly, i'll bet the president is hoping that the kneeling continues for a couple more weeks into the season is.
3:23 am
and that's why he sent vice president pence where he did. >> john avalon, north korea. the president is saying cryptic but what sounds like ominous things. he is saying, well, we'll have to see what happens. >> only one thing will work. >> only one thing will work. and let me put this up for people. presidents and their administrations here have been talking to north korea for 25 years, agreements made and massive amounts of money paid hasn't worked. agreements violated before the ink was dry, making fools of u.s. negotiators sorry, but only one thing will work. we'll see. >> that keeps people's attentions, especially when you're competing with the nfl for the president's attention apparently. you can criticize american policy with north korea in previous administrations. you can say it hasn't worked
3:24 am
because they have continued to make progress. it is the constant saber rattling which seems to threaten military action in which there are no good options in north korea. so this is not simply reality tv stuff. this is exactly what bob corker is talking about when he says he is treating the office as reality tv and world war iii. >> is he playing good cop, bad cop or nixon/kissinger. trust me, don't listen to him. what do you think? >> i'm clinging to the hope that this is all based on psychological profiles that have been developed at the cia as to how you most effectively deal -- you're laughing. >> no, i love it. i hope you're right, michael. >> instead, it sounds like two 14-year-olds ranking one another on a playground in queens. >> exactly.
3:25 am
>> it seems like a spitballing kind of thing. you would hope there is deliberation and thought and social science that has gone into this given the stakes. >> both of these guys have nukes, unlike the 14-year-olds. >> correct. >> we'll leave it on that. thanks for being with us this morning. coming up, the remnants of nate dumping rain in the northeast after whipping up the storm surge on the north coast. we'll have the very latest forecast. could have been a lot worse. is this a phone?

alleged sexual harassment spanning 30 years. the board of directors released a statement saying it was in light of new information about misconduct by the star maker. we have a cnn exclusive for everyone. the las vegas killer in his own words. his hours-long deposition providing insight into his mind-set. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. look how much coffee's in here? fresh coffee. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me? do you wear this every day? everyday. i'd never take it off. are you ready to say goodbye to it? go! go! ta da! a terrarium. that's it. we brewed the love, right guys?

3:33 am
3:34 am
3:35 am
as hard as it is to believe, investigators still do not know what led a killer to open fire on thousands of people at an outdoor concert in las vegas last week. dozens dimmed their marquises last night. it comes as cnn obtains exclusive copy of a deposition involving the killer's lawsuit against a popular vegas hotel four years ago.
3:36 am
does it offer any clues, any glimpse into the mind of this manned? cunning law is live in las vegas with this brand-new exclusive. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, bill. a they are trying to build this, the deposition has been handed over to the fbi. he called himself the biggest video poker player in the world, gambling up to a million dollars in a single night, overnight sleeping during the day. prescribed valium for anxiousness. these are stephen paddock's own words as he testified in 2013 in his lawsuit against the cosmopolitan hotel in las vegas. the suit stems from this moment. security cameras catching him
3:37 am
slipping and falling in a walkway. it was obtained exclusively by cnn. he testifies about that fall and gives us fresh insight into his mind four years before the shooting. he moved from las vegas casino to casino at one point staying upwards of three weeks out of a month he said. a high roller, his hotel stays were comped 90% of the time. bets ranged from $100 to $1,350 each time i pushed the button. speaking on of a peak year, how many hours are we talk something. >> 14 hours a day. over 200 million koeup through. paddock says on a given night he will bet a million dollars. an attorney replies, that's a lot of money. no, it's not. he called video poker a game of discipline, appearing condescending and disciplined explaining why he stays associate while gambling.
3:38 am
at the stakes i play, you want to have all your wits about you. his home in mesquite suggests a quiet life. paddock testified he paid a yearly retainment to d. winkler. he was prescribed valium for pbgsness. rage, aggressiveness andeer tablt are the possibility side effects of taking valium, according to the manufacturer of the drug. dr. winkler prescribed valium in june of this year. cnn could not independently confirm that information. despite all the claims about his high rolling ways, he received he wore his typical clothing. i always wear black nike sweat is pants that are nylon or polyester. on his feet, black flip-flops that he wore 98% of the time. life was better before the
3:39 am
economic meltdown, he testified, saying vegas casinos comped less and less, meaning he visited sin city less. what happened in the economy to 2007? it tanked. las vegas went into the gutter with a lot of other things. they quit giving away freakies. it just wasn't worth coming out here as often. an arbitrator ultimately ruled in the cosmopolitan hotel's favor. we did try to reach the internist, dr. winkler. he did not respond to e-mails or calls. alyson, we noticed he was asked repeatedly several times if he had a history of mental health issues, family history, or if there was any addiction issues. he said no. alyson? >> kyung lah, great reporting. this is fascinate to go delve into. thank you for all of that. investigators continue gather evidence from the killer's hotel room at the mandalay bay among the items, a handwritten note
3:40 am
filled with numbers that appear to calculate how to inflict the most harm on his victims. so let's discuss with james gagliano and counterterrorism analyst phil mudd. you were an intel agent for a while. what do you hear in this deposition of this man in his own words? >> that he is blaming somebody else. fall. it's not my fault. it is someone else's fault. one of the avenues of investigation is why did he shoot so many people? and i'm coming to the conclusion that this isn't about an external demon. it's not about republicans, it's not about democrats, shooting white people, black people or muslims. he had inner demons in his mind that we have to understand now. they relate to how he blamed somebody else and how he wanted to kill somebody else for an internal mental problem he had here. when i saw that deposition, i'm looking at this saying, we have a classic guy who says whatever my inner demons are, they're not my fault.
3:41 am
they're somebody else's fault. i think that is a significant segment we just had here, alyson. >> james, what did you hear? >> to phil's point, it seems the more we learn about the gunman the further we get away from determining what his motives were. the information that cnn is gathering in regards to the trajectory calculations, it appears this guy, as much as we know he was not ever in the military, has just gone to great lengths and studied mill techniques and strategy skwreus. >> you are talking about the calculation. the note that was found in his hotel room that first responders stumbled upon, listen to this. >> i did notice a note on the night stand near his shooting platform. i could see on it he had written the distance, the elevation he was on, the drop of what his bullet would be for the crowd.
3:42 am
so he had that written down and figured out so he would know where to shoot to hit his targets from there. >> what were the numbers? i'm just trying to -- he had done calculations? >> yeah. he had written -- he must have done the calculations or gone online to figure it out of what his altitude was going to be, how high he was, how far out the crowd would be, and what the drop of his bullet would be. >> so finish your point, jim. what does that mean to you? >> i mean, to hear that, it sounwas he was applying physics. properties of matter and energy from the hotel room. that is what is so con founding. if he were able to get the tracer rounds if make his rounds even more lethal, if that's even fathomable.
3:43 am
it is roughly the equivalent of a u.s. military battalion in the bloodiest conflict in the iraq war. it was november and december 2004. 82 soldiers killed, 600 casualties. so in the span of 10 minutes, this shooter by employing military tactics and having heavy armaments and the workaround gimmick he had on some of the weapons, was able to take out the equivalent of the battle of fallujah. >> oh, my gosh. yeah, eult was a war zone. that's what everybody who was there testifies to and said it sounded like. phil, in this deposition he said he played poker 365 days a year, sometimes gambling a million dollars a day. that's couple pullsive. is there anything there you hear? >> i think there is. let's combine that level of focus on one opportunity, that is how do i play a 10th percent of an odd over 14 hours a day every day of the year. he thinks systematically through
3:44 am
his gambling lifestyle. a man who is thinking systematically how do i look at distance and how much that bullet will fall over distance. what this tells me, alyson, looking at all this detail, attention to detail, two trails where he can find that information about the targets to that level of detail. that is he talked to somebody about how to think about bullets and how bullets travel of time and space or he researched something on the internet. either of those is going to leave a trail, a trail of a human being, for example, a lot a location where he is buying a weapon, where they are talking about this kind of stuff, or a trail on google sevens where he is learning how to do this. somebody saw something. somebody knows something. it will help to fill in the gaps for how he built that scale of detail over those 10 minutes. >> he was taking valium for anxiousness. a lot of people take valium. is there anything there as an analyst for you?
3:45 am
>> you know, it is so perplexing to look at all these different pieces. i'm confident that the police and the fbi probably know significantly more than they are letting out. and i think that's appropriate. alyson, i think there are so many leaders they are trying to run down to paint a picture of this man. the fact that he has this prescription absolutely plays into it. we know there is a mental imbalance. we have to find out what the motive was and figure out a better picture of what made him do this. >> gentlemen, thank you very much for trying to help us put the puzzle pieces together. bill? our next guest nearly lost his wife to a mass shooter. he is a navy combat vet and astronaut as well. it was the shooting of gabby giffords that steeled the resolve of our next guest. we will speak to mark kelly live incomes.

people to say they know what to do with this problem. they are asking the atf to go back to 2010 decision to authorize that decision if you can't convince a guy with fresh gunshot wounds, how hard is it to convince the rest of congress? >> it is difficult with certain members of congress. it is ridiculous to think it is inevitable that we have this level of gun violence that there's absolutely nothing we can do about it. 33,000 americans dying every single year from gun violence is completely unacceptable. and we're a country of laws. the laws matter. we do know that in states that have stronger gun laws, we have less people that die from gun violence. so i don't buy into the notion that this is just the way it has to be. you know, that's not true. but that is what the gun lobby and some members of congress would like people to think. that this is a normal situation.

>> from the nra, head of the nra said we should take a look at bump stocks. these devices to make a semi auto to fully auto. some took hope in that that there was new fresh daylight. others think it is the same old rhetoric. what are your thoughts on the nra's position? >> i'm the eternal optimist on this. you couldn't do this year after year. i think when the national rifle association and republican members of congress acknowledge that our laws do matter, it is a step in the right direction. so i was happy to hear that wayne la pierre said this is something that should be looked at. i personally think this is the time for congress to legislate here, whether it's the bump stock provision, background checks to keep guns out of the husband of people who are criminals and domestic abusers and suspected terrorists.

i mean, there's so much they can do to reduce gun violence but not effect the second amendment rights of gun owners. i am a gun owner. i imagine steve scalise is a gun owner. we can do this and just focus on the criminals and the folks that really should not be accumulating firearms out there. >> nancy pelosi said that -- actually dianne feinstein said no laws could have stopped this particular vegas shooting. do you agree with that? >> i don't agree with that, actually. imagine if the bump stock was illegal, if he wasn't able to acquire these things en masse, it would have been more difficult to kill in excess of 50 people and shoot hundreds more in that short period of time. in addition to that, currently under federal law, if somebody buys more than one handgun in five days, the atf gets

notified. that is not true for an ar-15, a semiautomatic assault rifle. what if it was. what if inside a month he was buying in excess of 10 guns, dozens of guns. they would have been notified. and they would have visited him at his home. maybe that would have deterred him. these laws do matter. there are things we could have done to make this situation much more difficult. >> mark kelly, always good to hear your wisdom. thank you for checking in with us this morning. best to your wife. >> thanks for having me on. >> alyson. senator bob corker expressing his concerns about president trump, suggesting the president could lead the u.s. on the path to world war iii. it was an extraordinary statement from a top republican. we look at it next. ...to help minimize blood sugar spikes... ...you can really feel it. now with 30% less carbs and sugars. glucerna.
