to have a straeup sa . corker saying his comments could put the path on world war iii. >> the white house releasing its wish list for a deal to present d.r.e.a.m.ers. >> this is essentially a nonstarter for chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. >> vice president mike pence reigniting the feud between the white house and the nfl. >> when things are going bad in the white house, it turns into this cultural war. >> this seems like a p.r. stunt to me. >> i'm fine with every president doing it from here on out. >> this is "new day" with chris como and alyson camerota. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to new days senator bob corker now said the president is treating the white house like a reality show and reckless threats could put the nation on

the path to world war iii. democrats in an uproar after the white house releases a list. all of this as vice president mike pence walks out of an nfl game after players kneeled during a national anthem. senate foreign relations committee. the president has not commented publicly but it certainly lays bear the tensions between the president and key members of congress he will need to push his agenda through.

it could pus the u.s. on the path to world war iii. he concerns me. he would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation. corker saying mr. trump is treating the president 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 begged him to reendorse him for election. he calls the white house an adult 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 he serious about compromising 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 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 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 gregory and john avalon. politicians are not normally known for their candor. why is senator bob corker doing this? >> well, he's not running for

reelection. it is easy to be candid when you don't have to face the voters again and really let it rip. the president has tweeted things out that are not true about whether he was going to now you just have a president with a fist and a twitter account going to war again with somebody else within his own party. it's not just him. they don't speak their mind about it the way corker is now. his warnings should be taken very seriously.

>> he is insinuating he has the emotional stability of a child and could bring upon the world war iii. it is a shame that the white house has become an adult day care center. someone oufl missed their shift this morning. keeping the country from chaos. and the president's comeback is bob corker begged me to endorse him for reelection and i said no. >> right. >> one more to read before you get to your response. corker tweeted, 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. >> that's true. bob corker is effectively pointing out the president has no close when it comes to his statements. oddly timed. not helpful to his legislative

agenda but goes by the pattern we see from the president, sort of a bullying. i'm -- he begged me. he humiliated himself and i said no. what we all know is these things are not true. what is said in the cloak room behind closed doors, this president has impulse control. he is arguably unstable, curious. there is a cadre of folks separating this country from chaos and that kay months is named donald trump. that is a big deal. when he said the president is on a path to world war iii, that's a big deal. this has a force of revelation with it. it should send ripple effects. it cannot be when senators know they are not running for reelection, the courage to speak their mind. >> there is fear of repaoeufl. and number two, wanting to get

their agenda done. they stayed the course. they would get their agenda they have been waiting for eight years. but that is not working out. do you think this signifies some sort of change in the strategy of republicans? >> look, i don't know. it might. it might. it is certainly a breach in the wall. what you said is the important part. look, donald trump, without any legislative achievement, without real achievement in his administration thus far has kept his base together. one of the ways he does that attacking a let'ses, the media generally launching cultural wars with the nfl and on and on and on. and he does have an agenda that he has been committed to that a lot of republicans sign on to. whether it was getting rid of obamacare, which didn't work, whether it's tax cuts. you go after a guy like corker when you need 52 votes and you

have no democrats, the president only has an ego and insecurity. he doesn't really have a strategy. he is not being very strategic even in his hatred. that's one of his problems. but that is what has held things together. now you have to ask, well, what then? if there's escalation with north korea. if there's an attempt to decertify the iran nuclear deal, then you're going to see conservatives start to push a little bit. maybe we see real distance from the administration. but i think leaders like paul ryan, like a mitch mcconnell who woman he has had a terrible relationship, have been holding back. they are trying to get this agenda done. they know he has juice in the grassroots and that they as a party need to get something done legislatively. >> corker said he got no pushback on the day care center tweet from mitch mcconnell. i'm curious as to what is the conversation between republicans

in the cloak room of the senate? >> corker's tweets said in public what they have been saying the whole time. and let that sink in for a second for folks at home. especially for the 36% of americans who have been steadfast donald trump supporters. it is a historically low number. >> they say corker is an establishment rememb plment rep. he is old school. >> quickly they will try to say it's partisan. it's a republican civil war and he's establishment. but the lack of condemnation. further to the right or the center. the fact that he is an incredibly respected republican senator and foreign policy authors who the president vetted himself for secretary of state. everyone take a deep breath and realize these are not partisan critiques. the more you know about what's going on behind closed doors the

more concerned you are. if you're not troubled, you're not paying attention. >> i think it is important to point out there is a difference between a failing legislative strategy between an tkphupb station that can't get an agenda cross and the volatility of what happens on the world stage. so a confrontation with north korea, nuclear deal with iran. if rex tillerson ultimately leaves this administration, who replaces him? what about mattis, mcmaster. these decisions about what they may do with north korea alone are deadly serious. even under the best of circumstances, if you look at our history with the most qualified of advisers in these positions we have seen horrible miss judgments, terrible mistakes that cost countless lives. this is where we get to a whole new level of danger in a presidency that is this volatile. >> and the pressure then just is

on kelly, tillerson, mattis. let's talk about the overnight developments on immigration reform. there was some movement with chuck and nancy. the president was making overtures that they could work out a deal. they could bring the children who were brought here to stay. now overnight it takes three steps back. >> the white house put forward a wish list, awe list of demands to go inside with the back of a dream date with chuck and nancy that seemed to allow the d.r.e.a.m.ers to go forward. sit important to understand this could be seen as a poison pill by members of the white house staff that are more ideological than the president. it will be characterized by the democrats as a list of demands and deal breaker. push aside the kabuki. is this a wish list? everyone has to give something a

little bit. there are plenty of people on the far right and far left hoping this deal dies. they don't want to see president trump make a deal with chuck and nancy as it were. i love that that is america's new couple. >> this is the manifestation of the backlash the president got after appearing to have made a deal with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi. now you hear him renegativing, whoa, whoa, whoa, i still want my wall. >> this is a different kind of example of the potential of president trump as a deal maker, as someone who can balance a bunch of different views on a really tough issue. he has become a leading voice in the republican party. but he is someone who has a moderate enough background on some of the immigration issues to cut a deal with democrats without completely losing the right. i think this is a statement of

principals and he wants to be a bit outrageous because of the backlash on the right before getting to a place where he makes an ultimate deal. regardless, if he's able to do something more robust on immigration which previous administrations, republican and democrat, have not been able to do, he could emerge victorious if he can reach something that is comprehensive. i still think that is within the realm here. >> thanks for being here. president trump going after another establishment republican but at what cost? what does the president have to stand to gain or lose? and clearer skin. this is my body of proof that i can take on psoriatic arthritis with humira. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, stop further joint damage, and clear skin in many adults. humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for psoriatic arthritis.

humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. want more proof? ask your rheumatologist about humira. what's your body of proof? when we love someone, we want to do right by them. what is this? (chuckling) but habits are hard to break. honey, where are the habaneros? and then there are things we can't control, like snoring. (loud snoring) now the answer is right under your nose. introducing theravent anti-snore strips, clinically shown to reduce snoring with the power of your own breathing. nice try! there are always things that are hard to let go of. now snoring isn't one of them. theravent. the answer is right under your nose.

editor of "the weekly standard" and jason miller. good morning, gentlemen. happy monday to both of you. jason, since is you retweeted the president's attack on senator corker, i'll start with you. what happened to reagan's 11th commandment, do not speak ill of another republican. what possible good could come of this strategically? >> it is important to point out senator corker has been attacking the president over the last couple of months here. and obviously the president took issue with that. look, senator corker definitely didn't mind kissing up to president trump when he wanted to be vice president, when he wanted to be secretary of state. now since he didn't get either of these positions and now he's retiring, he seems to just be kind of letting it all hang out there. and i think it's really showing the true colors of the swamp nature of washington, d.c. that he is criticizing such basic tenets of the republican platform like tax cuts.

if senator corker is retiring and he doesn't want to be in the u.s. senate and doesn't want to support such basic conservative principals, he should just resign. let the governor of tennessee appoint another republican like marcia blackburn and get somebody in there who will support the president. >> he seems to be having a real crisis of conscience. you think it is undermined by sour grapes. let's listen to bob corker a little bit. this criticism started after the white nationalist rallies in charlottesville. let's listen to bob corker. >> i think secretary tillerson, secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos. the president has not yet been

able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful. >> bill, get to you in a second is. i just want to follow up on that. he said corker told the "new york times" in those cases he was really speaking to an audience of one. he was trying to get a message to president trump rather than undermine him. >> well, i'm not sure what kind of message senator corker is trying to send by running to the "new york times" and throwing out these very crazy comments like world war iii, which i think really cuts against any narrative credibility that senator corker has. look, if you're going to talk about the delicate sensibilities of the u.s. senate and throw out such inflammatory language like that yourself, i don't think you have much ground really to stand on. >> the tweets insinuate the president has the emotional stability of a child. it is an adult day care center. and he's afraid that these twitter flame wars will suck us

in to world war iii. what is your whole reaction to this this morning? >> it is nice that bob corker is telling us what he has believed for quite a while. he was one of the establishment republicans who came on board. he chastised people like me and others who were trying to save the party at the last moment from trump when there was still a chance to rally against him. trump got less than 50%. corker supported trump. he wanted to be secretary of state. he's been pretty quiet until a couple of months ago. he voted for every trump nominee, every trump piece of legislation. loyalty is a one-way street for donald trump. you can be loyal to him and say critical things after charlottesville. that was not astonishing to say something critical. and trump will kick you when it seems useful for trump. i welcome corker aboard in the sense that it is the truth telling about the tkobd trump team but it is a little late

honestly. the earlier comment was, he let him just resign if he's a lame duck. this is typical. they think republican senators and congressman were sent there to rubber stamp whatever trump wants. is and never say anything critical. he was elected by the citizens of tennessee. he has the same status as an elected officials and other senators. he owes them his six years of service, his candor, his best judgment. i wish he had exercised it a little earlier. the trump team thinks you're there to do whatever donald trump says. if donald trump says jump, you say how high? corker didn't even vote against donald trump. if you say something critical, you have betrayed the team. that is a very per tpheurs pernicious view of how politics work. >> he is someone who would go and cut taxes.

so i don't understand why he is opposing a basic tenet. >> he is a senator. you are elected by the citizens of that state and then you are supposed to use your judgment. >> tennessee went strongly for president trump. >> and corker voted for trump nominees and has given trump benefit of the doubt, too much benefit of doubt. if you're an elected representative, elected on your own in tennessee and corker was elected before trump, you are supposed to roll over. the only thing he has done is threaten to vote against this crummy tax bill, no estate tax for corporations. it is unclear whether it will do much at all to help the middleclass. reserve judgment on a bill whose details we haven't seen. he is, hey, sign onto a bill. >> you come to washington. you forget the basic things you

ran on, saying you want to cut taxes. completely throw out this ideology that you supposedly advocated when you first ran. you say, yeah, i'm going to make some of my washington friends happy. it is really the swamp. >> the swamp, the real swamp is blind loyalty to a president or anyone else, instead of using your judgment as a congressman, senator. >> do you think he woke up and decides he doesn't want to cut taxes? he maybe can ear those principals but is so worried about the unhinged launches on twitter. and do you worry that other senior republican leadership on capitol hill feels the same way, just don't have whatever it takes to say it out loud? >> the swamp will try to fight back. they don't want someone who will fight for real change. senator corker, even before all

the dust up, was laying down clear signals is that he was going to oppose tax cuts. and i think that's really disappointing. and i think if other senator republican leaders are opposing tax cuts, i think anyone who votes against tax cuts will have real issues coming up in the primaries. finally, other news overnight was this wish list that tamps down folks on the left side in hopes that chuck and nancy can do a deal on the dream act with the president. is this a poise pill or what do you make of it? >> let's see haps. this is the legislative process. it is funny to see jason talk about the swamp fights back. we are now the at an 8-year-old level of rhetoric that he has reduced jason miller to. this is a legislative process. let's have arguments whether

there should be money for the wall in addition to legalizing the d.r.e.a.m.ers. what's that the legislative process is supposed to be. with trump you don't see legislation. you have one dinner, a deal. someone else pressures trump, and then there is something else. they are not serious about actually passing legislation. jason calls it the swamp. i call it representative elected democracy. >> translator: reason we are having such an issue getting legislation through is republican leaders on the hill don't have the will to get it done. sopbs president trump won, they should have been waiting, ready to go with repeal and replace. the fact that they didn't, the fact that they have been twiddling their thumbs or they don't want to fix our failing health care system is indicative how this works. the swamp goes in if senator

corker was truly dedicated to cutting taxes just as he campaigned on when he ran two times before, we would see him working with the administration, working with other hill leaders to get this done. he is popping off at the president. i don't think it's help. . we need a conservative >> jason miller, bill crystal, a spirited debate between both of you. thanks for being here. >> the swamp fights back coming to theaters near you. >> swamp thing 2, elect boubaloo. >> you know who likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator.

ah! still a little tender. (vo) go national. go like a pro. you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia, that can take you out of the game for weeks, even if you're healthy. pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that in severe cases can lead to hospitalization. it may hit quickly, without warning, causing you to miss out on the things you enjoy most. prevnar 13® is not a treatment for pneumococcal pneumonia... it's a vaccine you can get to help protect against it. prevnar 13® is approved for adults to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. you should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. if you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain, redness and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. help protect yourself against pneumococcal pneumonia.

ask your doctor or pharmacist about prevnar 13®.

. okay. minutes ago president trump tweeted about vice president mike pence's exit from the colts game in indianapolis. the president tweets, the trip was long planned and pence is receiving great praise for leaving the game after the players showed such disrespect for the country. greg doyle of the indy star was

at the game. he calls pence's exit staged and writes north korea and its nukes can wait. the white house has declared war on the and the first amendment gregg doyel joins me now. what did you see happen yesterday? >> i saw 20, 25 49ers kneeling on the sideline. then i saw a tweet from pence a few minutes later saying he was gone. then heck break loose on social media let's make this clear. i'm not saying it was staged. it was staged. this is not fake news, #fake news. yeah, pence, got praised in the echo chamber where he and trump live. they planned this. >> how do you know that? >> oh, gosh, trump told him ahead of time. yeah, i told him if you kneeled, go ahead and play.

the 49ers kneel every game. every game for two years they kneel. this was going to happen. in fact, the press that followed pence around, he and his people said don't bother coming in. we're not going to be there long. >> in fact, you did not see him leaving, again, as you're seeing, you only read about it on twitter. so it was that sort of brief that you thought that he was still there until you read on twitter that he had left. this was to, to your mind, a skwaurter million dollar publicity stunt? >> a quarter million dollar piece of art. those that voted for it, they liked it, see it as a masterpiece. the other side sees it as a graffiti. it was a quarter million dollar piece of tkpwra feet ya. that was his form of art expression. >> isn't the vice president

free -- look, if the 49ers are taking a knee in protest and for their first amendment, isn't vice president pence just doing the same and it's his freedom of speech to walk out? >> oh, absolutely. oh, yeah. what's good for the goose is good for the gander. he has the right to walk out. the difference, and this is not subtle, this is not subtle, the difference is it's one thing for regular citizens, by that i mean nfl players, you, me, whoever, they have their political speech and kneel, whatever they're doing. that's one thing. when the two most powerful elected officials in our country, the president and the vice president both come out against that form of political statement, political speech and pence makes his own speech by walking out, you're crossing the line from political speech, which it is, to using your pulpit as a bully pulpit to shut down the other side when all

they're doing is exercising their rights. >> did they think the vice president was there for a different reason? >> oh, yeah, yeah. they have a standing invitation pence. any time you want to come to a colts game, we will have that for you. they thought he was coming to honor and celebrate peyton manning, the great colt whose numbers were retired. they thought he was coming for that reason. they had no idea this whole thing was planned out, that pence would be there five minutes and cost taxpayers a quarter million dollars. i know there is a certain part of the votes in a way they don't appreciate the government wasting money. this is not fake news. the government wasted a lot of money yesterday. i wonder how they feel about that. >> here's what safety eric reed said about incident. >> this is what oppression looks

like. companies to the game, tweets a couple things out, and leaves the game. an attempt to thwart our efforts. everything that you were raised on was to be the best person i could be to help people that need help and the vice president of the united states is trying to confuse the message that we are trying to put out there. >> what do you think about the players speaking out about that? >> that was brilliant. i don't know why you have me on air. he's a better speaker than i am. we can live with ourselves if this is about military veterans. they are disrespecting veterans. this is what we're doing. i have seen the american flag worn by people as pants, on somebody's rear end. their intent is to show off we love the flag. they're not disrespecting the military when they do that but nfl players are when they kneel about social injustice in this

country. it is all about viewpoint. and the other side, pence's side, don't even want to see the players's viewpoint. >> gregg doyel, thanks so much for your viewpoint. >> thanks, alyson. coming up, cnn excuse itch. could a deposition from a lawsuit four years ago provide any clues into the motive for his massacre. dynamic performance, so you can own the road. aggressive styling, so you can break away from everyone else. the bold lexus is. experience amazing. we are the tv doctors of america, and we may not know much about medicine, but we know a lot about drama. we also know that you can avoid drama by getting an annual check-up. so go, know, and take control of your health. it could save your life. cigna. together, all the way.

it is now weeks after hurricane maria made landfall. emergency workers in puerto rico are trying to prevent a grim humanitarian crisis. the governor says congress needs to take action to provide relief for the island left battered by the storm. joining us to update is the governor of puerto rico, ricardo rosseau. i was there for about the first eight days after the storm. from then, on a scale of 1 to 10, desperation level was around 9. how would you characterize the need this morning? >> well, certainly a lot of the things are being delivered to the people of puerto rico. we have increased capabilities. we have dodd increased their numbers as well as other federal agencies. logistics are getting through.

we are still obviously needing to do more. for example, we know we are tkhreufg food to all the mun municipalimuni municipalitie municipalities, and water. there were complaints that water was not getting to the people. so i ordered a full investigation on on that effort. as i stated before, if there was a place, a locality that is not delivering food to the people of puerto rico that need it, there is going to be some hell to pay. we sent national guard, auditors as well, and the local justice department to evaluate this effort. we want to make sure if food is being delivered as we have been tracking it, as we have been sending it, that it gets in the hands of the people of puerto rico. >> it seems outrageous you would spend man hours on investigating need when hundreds of thousands of people are drinking rain water. your website has had the stats up. the fema websites pulled the stats down in explicably for a while.

11.7% of puerto rico has power. you've got just over half with telecommunication service. only about -- a little over 40% have access to clean water. so the mayor of san juan is saying, help us, please. this is a five-alarm fire and you only sent two-alarm fire trucks. you are saying things aren't that dire. where is the disconnect, governor? >> that's why we are investigating. i disagree with your premise. i think if there are places where water is being withheld and food is being withheld, we need to showcase it and push it forward to the people. these are people that aren't necessarily fixing the energy grid or working on water delivery per se. so they are doing an effort. they are doing a job. and of course a lot of the assets, the great majority of assets are going there to make sure we can reestablish water, potable water to the people of

puerto rico. the vast majority is up to 65%, 70%. one area in the north we are at 20 some percent. that is the area we're focusing on, to deliver potable water to the people of puerto rico. there are some complaints at the granular level. it is not because water is not being delivered but rather, you know, the limitation, but rather we can get every local leadership, every mayor, everybody to buy-in and make sure as soon as resources get to the municipality or their local area, they can deliver it to the people of puerto rico. >> after carmen cruz, the mayor of san juan, put out another impassioned plea, this is the head of fema responding yesterday. >> we filtered out the mayor a long time ago. we don't have time for the political noise. the bottom line is we are making progress every day. in regards to the pailier

failure, we are rescreening a very fragile system every day. thunderstorms come through and knock the progress out. rebuilding puerto rico is going to be a greater conversation for the congress in conjunction with the governor on what the way forward is in puerto rico. >> you heard him referring to the governor as political noise. >> from my vantage point, my only observation as governor of puerto rico is getting ruts to the people of puerto rico. i don't get involved in the fodder, bill. i do focus results. i have been willing to have a conversation with anybody. i've been in communication with fema. we have been working together. i have been in communication with the mayor. from my vantage point, i have the responsibility to make sure that results get to the people of puerto rico. not only in the immediate term but also in the mid and long term. that's why we are making a plea to congress to act quickly on an

immediate relief package to puerto rico so we can get what we estimated as $4.6 million of immediate relief. later on we will talk about the recovery package. similar as to what was done in texas. our petition right now is this gets moved forward, as well as other petitions we made to start building puerto rico stronger than before. >> in american response to the haiti quake in 2010, there were 22,000 american troops on the ground in haiti. a foreign country. right now we hear that you're hoping to get 8,000 in an american commonwealth. do you need more troops? >> well, those numbers are not correct. right now we have over 13,000 d on od pers od personnel.

>> that's half the response to haiti. could you use another $13,000? >> well, right now those capabilities that we're using, of course, comparing disasters is somewhat, you know, misleading. right now the assets that are increasing are helping us deliver food and water. they are helping us do air drops. helping us in engineering purposes and medical purposes. we are now establishing medical centers in the southeast part of the island with the d.o.d. and the northwest part of the island as well to supplement what is a really fragile health care system right now in puerto rico. and right now we are also starting the effort with the corps of engineers and private sector to make stronger, which is also a petition of ours. not just remaking an energy grid, not just putting it back as it was, but actually taking the opportunity to make it better. >> right.

>> that is why we have had conversations with innovators such as elon musk and google to try to look at this situation in puerto rico and not only paste it back together. let's not do that. then another storm is will come and it will collapse again. let's make it stronger, better. let's leap frog into the 21st century. that's one of the efforts we're making, one of the strong pushes we are making right now. >> the one guarantee is the storms are going to keep coming, get stronger. our hearts are with your people. hope you get everything you need. thank you for your time. >> thank you, bill. and thank you for your reporting here in puerto rico. >> my pleasure. i hope to be back there as soon as possible. there is so much need. people are so gracious and grateful to get anything they can. no knock on the people right there working sleepless days and nights trying to help. but they could use more help. >> yeah. it is so important to be on the ground to get the real picture of what it looks like. >> meanwhile, a cnn exclusive for you. looking at the mind of a killer.

could a deposition of the las vegas murderer from a lawsuit years ago provide clues into his motives for the massacre? a premium juice company. a coconut water company. we've got drinks for long days. for birthdays. for turning over new leaves. and we make them for every moment in every corner of the country. we are the coca-cola company, and we're proud to offer so much more.

why should over two hundred

years of citi history matter to you? well, because it tells us something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these. and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality. and the next great idea could be yours. investigators still do not
