10:00 am
reminds me of how geico hasd been saving people money for over 75 years. hey, big guy! come on in! let me guess your weight! win a prize! sure, why not. 12 ounces! sorry, mate. four ounces. i've been taking the stairs lately. you win, big guy. sorry, 'scuse me! oh, he looks so much more real on tv. yeah... over 75 years of savings and service. get your rate quote today. hello, i'm wolf blitzer. where ever you're watching, thanks very much for joining us. a sitting republican senator suggests the president of the united states is a national security risk. and the white house has become an adult day care center. why senator bob corker so worried about what he calls world war iii.
10:01 am
nfl walkout. president trump accused of using the vice president in a major pr stunt that cost american taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. the backlash escalates now and new insight into the mind of a killer. hear from the las vegas shooter in his own words, this is a cnn exclusive. that's coming up just ahead. but we begin with an indictment of the president from a senator in his own party. in an extraordinary interview, senator corker says president trump's reckless threats could set america quote on the path to world war iii. tensions were rising between the two men for weeks and inten intensified with these remarks from senator corker last week. >> i think secretary tillerson, secretary mattis and chief of staff kelly are those people
10:02 am
that help separate our country from chaos and i support them very much. they work very well together. to make sure the policies we put forth around the world are you know, sound and coherent. there are other people within the administration in my belief, that don't. okay, i'm sorry. i mean, i hope, you know, i hope they stay because they're valuable to the national security of our nation. >> president trump escalated the war of words on sunday launching a twit r tirade with claim that is the retiring u.s. senator begged him for an endorsement and didn't have the quote guts to run for re-election. corker shot back tweeting the white house has become a quote adult day care center and someone missed their shift a corker spokesman tells cnn the claims are not true, that in fact, the president urged corker to run again, offering his endorsement. our white house correspondent
10:03 am
sarah murray is joining us live. today, president trump hasn't commented yet at least on the back and forth exchange, but a white house official does say this is far from the end. what are you hearing? >> that's right, wolf, an administration official told my colleague that the president is is not finished with bob corker. now, this is news that will create a little anxiety from folks here in this white house. there are plenty of people working in this administration and people close to the president who do not believe this is a productive fight to pick. yes, corker has now been very publicly critical of president trump. but he still holds a very important policymaking role here in washington. he's the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, but he's also a republican vote at time when the president needs those. he has a very slim margin for victory in the senate at a time when he's looking at big policy proposals. for instance, tax reform. and when he frankly hasn't been able to get much done on hill, so there are worries among those close to the president, if you
10:04 am
are going toe to toe with corker, fighting with a senator, you may anger the other senators who are friends with him on capitol hill. maybe sort of cutting off your nose to spite your face at this point. that's the concern from some administration officials, but they realize that when president trump is on the warpath, he is not likely to let a grudge drop easily, wolf. >> how worried are they at the white house that what senator corker said publicly sort of reflects what a lot of other republican senators are at least thinking privately, not saying it publicly, but that's their view as well. >> well, i think we heard in our colleagues on the hill that plenty of other republican senators have share ed similar concerns privately, but i don't think they believe there's going to be other senators following in corker's footsteps. he's a high ranking senator here in washington and he's retiring, so he doesn't have much to lose. he no longer has to worry about re-election, about angering the base of supporters who have
10:05 am
electeded trump. that puts him in a very different category than many other republican senators. some are have offered up a little criticism of the president. john mccain has been a notable critic of the president, but this white house doesn't believe there's going to be a flood of republican senators coming out and saying the same kinds of things we have seen corker say. >> thanks very much. let's discuss with our panel. joining us, gloria borger, brian carom and congressal reporter for the "washington post," karen. and g and guys, very much. caron. gloria. gloria. i can say that. how significant are corker's remarks? >> very significant. this is somebody who supported the president. during the campaign. he you know, didn't hug him.
10:06 am
didn't give him a bear hug, but told senators kind of calm down about donald trump and he is somethi somebody who is important on lots of issues including foreign policy as chairman of that committee, tax reform sarah was just saying. i don't expect senators to line up and say we're with corker versus we're with trump, but i think that what you have now is senators who if they see that trump continues to take on corker, are going to be a little afraid of it depending on where they come from because in their states, and they are running for re-election, many of them, they can't afford to take on the president the way corker did, who was unbound of course because he doesn't have a race comeing up now. >> well, i think it also depends on how weak they see the president. they may well be em boldened if they see his support continue to slip away and as the support has
10:07 am
slipped slightly, you've seen his rhetoric go farther and farther to the extreme to embrace a base that includes david duke and white suh pr primmist cysts and the nazi party. that's the group. that's what's left in the group. there are a lot of people in the group that belong to those particular. >> that's just a small group. >> i think you're finding it's everything that the president does, those tweets, are all about first of all, he's going to defend and deny then he's going to deflect then disrupt or divide. that's part of, part and parcel, what all those tweets do and corker coming at them just shows there are people who are beginning, what everybody said privately for the last six or seventh months is now being said publicly, leaving those people who are of sound mind and body, who have been for the president, slowly walking away from him. >> the significance is that corker was one of those people,
10:08 am
when he woul deliver his criticism would deliver it with a giant sugar cube of praise. he's taken those gloves off. he's got a different political situation than most of his colleagues, but if anybody in position that's been fairly supportive of the president willing to block for the administration does this, it makes it more okay. who takes that as a signal, that it's now okay to start speaking in public more about these things. you don't expect a dell eugene at wurngs but does next senator decide to join the corker fold or is there a backlash that's full swing against corker. >> the truth of the matter is that donald trump is still more popular in the republican party, way more popular in the republican party than mitch mcconnell and the senate republicans. and so, when you look at that dynamic, you have to ask the question, how many of those people would feel safe even if they felt the same way. in taking on the president because then, you give the
10:09 am
insurrection led by steve bannon more steam because they're going to say we want to elect people who support the president and put them in the united states. >> depends on how deep that support is and depends on, if they can get all of their eggs right now are in the basket of tax reform right now. they've lost many of the things they, the initiatives they started, so right now, the republicans are trying to pass tax reform and so, i think that the support for the president while broad is shallow. i think they've had a problem constructing their message. i believe it's been one that's been very devicive and if they can hold it together, yes, i think you'll see more gop members supporting him. if not, i think it falls apart. >> although tax reform is a much more complicated puzzle than just bob corker. but the one thing where this has an immediate impact is that clearly, bob corker is not afraid to cross the trump administration. that means for trump about all
10:10 am
the things under his purview. because of the chairman of that committee. you can't fire rex tillerson and replace him with a yes man if bob corker is chairing that committee for the next 15 months because he won't let it go through. he now has some sort of ability to hold trump in on these issues where he has a lot of oversight control which will affect what trump is able to do. this is like a two step process now, of what corker can manage versus the political impact of what trump can do. >> i don't think we should assume by the way and i was talking to somebody close corker this morning. i don't think we should assume corker is going to automatically oppose everything trump does. that's right and so, on tax reform, he is a republican, he was not the person who shephe shepherded the iran deal through. in fact, he opposed it as the president had said, but so i think that corker is not going to suddenly turn around and become nancy pelosi here. so, he's going to --
10:11 am
>> when he hear from white house officials as we just heard sarah's report that the president hasn't said anything today, but wait, more is to come. what more is he going to do as far as corker is is concerned? >> this is the calm before the storm. haven't seen any calm yet. i think there will be another tirade. last night, they released something we had a call at 7:15 and they come out with the immigration restrictions, so i think they're trying hard to hide some of the things they're doing and i think the twitter tirades and this will further keep us deflected. while he defends and then continues to disrupt. i think you'll see more twitter today. you'll see him come out and make a statement. >> there seem to be these mixed csignals coming from the president. on the one hand, he wants to work out a deal for the dreamers with the democrats. they put out a series of demands which the democrats are not going to go along with. it's you know and he says hemts
10:12 am
to work with chuck and nancy on the other hand. it doesn't, his base doesn't want to work with him. mixed signals. >> certainly, it seems like there's a lot of test balloon, too, because trump will say his piece of what he wants to do often on twitter. there then a blowback then a wish list that comes out then it's not going to be the final say. that list that came out. it's going to be something in between if anything happens at all, which is still a big question mark. but basically, this is kind of trump trying to both please his base, also set the tone for his base, also be true to himself, also answer the different factions in the republican party that are pushing back when he decides he wants to stretch out to democrats. >> i haven't seen any truth. if you -- >> on that day perhaps, but the point is -- >> wait until wednesday. >> he is answering different, he's got a short-term attention
10:13 am
span and is sensitve to how people react. a lot of this is reactions and trying to please different factions. it's not being a leader. >> just about him being him and he wants people to, i mean, he's trying to show now he's -- >> and he tweeted the other day maybe he can even work with the democrats on fixing obamacare. >> this is why he didn't take the lead for example on the question of guns. he said to the congress, okay, you want to change the law a little bit around the edges to prevent this from happening again, go right ahead, let's see what you come up with because his base, second amendment and he doesn't want to get in the middle of that because he has his daca problem, his tax reform problem, his health care problem. >> immigration problem. disaster problem. >> so, hemts to just get some wins on the board because he hasn't had any and he's going to leave it up to them to do it and if nothing gets done, then he has someone to blame which is of
10:14 am
course exactly -- >> blame game. deflect, defend, disrupt. >> guys, thanks very, very much. the president says the vice president's early exit from an nfl game was all planneded. you're quoing to hear it what cost tax parris and why it may have backfired. plus, as many democrats and hollywood stars are silent about harvey weinstein, merrill streep now speaking out on the scandal. and the las vegas killer in his own words, cnn has obtained a deposition from a lawsuit in which the gunman describes his unusual habits and what he was taking. ...or snack a day with glucerna... ...made with carbsteady... ...to help minimize blood sugar spikes... ...you can really feel it. now with 30% less carbs and sugars. glucerna. parts a and b and want more coverage, guess what? you could apply for a medicare supplement insurance plan whenever you want. no enrollment window.

10:18 am
ask your doctor about entresto and help make tomorrow possible. the vice president's abrupt exit at the colts 49ers game this weekend rang up a big price tag for american taxpayers. mike pence and his wife quickly left the game after several players as expected took a knee during "the national anthem." journalists with the vice president were not allowed in the stadium, they were told by
10:19 am
staffers that quote, there may be an early departure from the game. now, critics are questioning before wl the whole thing was simply an expensive stunt. president trump fired back tweeting the trip by vp pence was long planned. he is receiving great praise for leaving the the game after the players showed such disrespect for country. here to break down the cost of pence's trip for taxpayers, cnn's christina. walk us through exactly how much approximately this wound up costing tax paris? >> bottom line, this was a very expensive way to prove a point with taxpayer money. let's look at the numbers. the vice president's plane which is essentially a modified 757 cost about $30,000 an hour to operate. now f you look at a flight from las vegas to indianapolis, the first leg of this trip, $100,000. now, from indianapolis, to the vice president's next stop in
10:20 am
l.a., that was $142,000. for a grand total of about $242,000. now, that's a lot of money for basically stopping at the game for about a half an hour, where reporters were told to actually stay, the reporters traveling with the vice president, were told to stay in the van because it was probably going to be a shortstop. so, this is what we're talking about. look, from the vice president's standpoint, his focus folks, people are saying it would have been more expensive for him to fly all the way back to washington, d.c. and back to l.a., but here's the thing. if we're going to play the hypothetical game, why didn't the vice president just stay in las vegas and fly directly to l.a. if we were talking about saving taxpayer money? well, here's what it boils down to. we probably wouldn't even be talking about this if there wasn't this larger continue vro kind of looming over the administration about the use of private aircraft, the use of
10:21 am
government aircraft and possible abuses. at this point, there are about six investigations into various cabinet members and administration officials and how they use government planes and whether taxpayer money is being wasted. wolf? >> all right, thank you very much for that analysis. let's discuss a little bit more. mike wise is joining us, a senior reporter and columnist for the undefeated and nia is with us as well. no doubt player frs the 49ers, they were going to take a knee. about 20 of them. going into this game, everybody knew this was going to happen. >> i don't want to say this was completely planned by the vice president and the president of the united states. mike's exit, but it was. no question in my mind. the thing that bothers me the most is and i would say this if barack obama came to a game and made a political statement. all, the big chirping about this
10:22 am
is that these players have used america's past time now larger than baseball, audience for football, to show something beyond their sport. what are you doing when you're mike pence and you go to the game, you're the vice president of the united states, you're making a political statement, i feel like there's a lot of hypocrisy going on there. >> because the president himself tweeted about this. he said i asked vice president pence to leave stadium if any playe players kneeled, disrespecting. i am proud of him as second lady, karen. was it designed for public relations purposes to underscore the problem that a lot of people have with the nfl right now? >> it seems that way. hard to believe they didn't know, the san francisco 49ers they've been kneeling for a year after colin kaepernick kicked this off when he was the quarterback for the 49ers, so difficult to sort of wrap your head around this and what was
10:23 am
going on. i think the thing they're going to get the most blowback for is the cost. we don't even know the full cost. she talked about the 250,0$250, what about the secret service, the local officials there. >> what about the memorabilia? buying a colts bumper sticker. >> the traffic tie ups there. they had to send out public safety information early to the fans that to show up early before the kickoff. so, you know, that's the thing here. and if you look at the polls on this, the most americans, i think it's like six out of ten didn't think that the president has acted properly in terms of talk iing about the players in this way. and inserting himself into this and calling for them to be fired. >> how's it playing within the nfl right now? president keeps saying the ratings are down. he keeps saying the fans are turning ge ining against the nf. you cover sports. >> it's unfortunate because it says more about us than the nfl or the public, the
10:24 am
administration. that of all the things that this league has had to deal with, domestic violence recently, prescription drug adick frdictim players, concussions, the nfl has become big tobacco in a way, it's not healthy for you and the one thing that could take away the bottom line is players kneeling at "the national anthem." let's not get away from the elephant in the room. most of the players kneeling are african-american players. you have an owner yesterday, jerry jones and the miami dolphin, daniel schneider of washington has also told his players, you need to stand. so you're essentially, this is not in the collective bargaining agreement with players and owners. you're telling your employees their constitutional guarantees are not valid in your business right now. and so that to me is the big question going forward.
10:25 am
what's going to happen this weekend? are these players going to bow or are these owners going to have a bigger fight on their hands. >> we'll see what happens this weekend. intriguing every weekend to see what's going on. >> some point, we'll talk about the game. >> that's important, too. and guys, thanks very much. after republican senator suggesteded the president is a national security risk to the united states, a chair is standing by to join us live. we'll discuss that and more. plus, many liberals and hollywood stars under fire for their silence over the harvey weinstein scandal. one of his accusers now speaking out about her disturbing encounter. that's ahead as well. go ahead, spoil yourself. the es and es hybrid. experience amazing.

10:29 am
tensions between president trump and a top senate republican, bob corker, has escalated into a public feud. once a key ally of president
10:30 am
trump's is questioning his leadership, telling "the new york times" that the president treats the office like quote a reality show and that he could set the nation on the path to world war iii. this after president trump fired off a series of tweets over the weekend saying senator corker begged him for an endorsement in his 2018 re-election campaign and that corker decided not to run because he didn't quote have the guts. corker respond ed with a tweet f his own calling the white house an adult day care center. as you can see, the fiery back and forth between the two men goes on and on. let's discuss this and more with our chair of the republican national committee, the chairwoman who's joining us right now. thanks very much for joining us. yeah, you've got the a tough job ahead of you. first of all, what's your reaction to this war of words between these two republicans, the president and the chairman of the senate foreign relations question? >> well, i think tensions are high. the president came to washington
10:31 am
to get the job done for the american people and he's seen a congress that hasn't been able to deliver repeal and replace yet and he's focused on tax reform and so as he's traveling this country, he's coming to washington and saying we've got to get things done and i need my team to be behind me and i think in the end, they're going to come together because senator corker recognizes just as the president does, that the middle class of this country needs to see tax cuts. we need to see repeal and replace and we need to deliver on our promises we ran on as a party. >> senator corker also says that his words the majority of his republican senate colleagues actually share his views ain private although they don't say publicly what he does. what does that say about president trump's standing in the senate? >> i think the president has great standing in our party and in the senate and look at the rnc and our record fund raising. that shows the support, especially from the small dollar amount from this president. i travel the country every day, wolf, and the president's supporters are behind him.
10:32 am
they want to see his agenda get done. they want to see tax cuts for the middle class. they want to see corporate tax levels reduced. they want to see repeal and replace of obamacare and they want to see infrastructure. we need to as party, let our purpose unite us and deliver on the promises we made to the american people. >> rehe does need to unite the republicans. he's got a lot of issues comes up. he want to desert fie the iran nuclear deal, but a very public feud like this with senator corker, who is i said the chairman of the foreign relations committee, that sort of undermines that agenda, doesn't it? >> i think the president's channel ling what i see. i do town halls, i did two last weekend in pennsylvania and i literally had people outraged because they're saying i sent you there. we gave you the white house, the senate, we want to see these things get down so the president
10:33 am
came to washington because he wanted to stop the status quo, he wanted to see a change. he's channelling that. we need to work on behalf of the american people and the end, that's going to be what we're going to be held accountable for. >> who do you blame these first nine months of this new administration, the president or republicans in the senate? >> i blame the democrats for putting obamacare in place and i blame democrats who aren't working with us on anything. >> you have the majority. >> we had 217 -- >> you had the majority in the senate, you have the majority in the house. you have the white house. you have the majority in the state legislatures, the majority in the republican, republican governors are in the majority. you have all of that, but so far, you've been unable to do what you promised, for example, repeal and replace obamacare, get tax cuts going, infrastructure spending. still waiting for that. >> so, i'm optimistic on those things and i will say, 217
10:34 am
republicans in the house did pass repeal and replace and 49 in the senate. so yes, we are short. we do not have a big enough majority in the senate on the republican side to get things done. that's why 2018 is so pivotal, but democrats haven't come to the table on anything. their mantra is resist and obstruct. >> hold on. are you encouraging the president's reaching out to chuck schumer now to improve obamacare to try to fix it, you saw that tweet, the conversation they had over the weekend. >> i think the president's a pragmatist and he's saying we have got to get things done on the american people. that's always on his mind. how do i deliver for the people who have been hurting under the failing obama president. how do i deliver for those whose wages have been stagnant. so if i have to work with republicans or democrats, i'm going to get that done. >> so you support that. >> they want to see him accomplish the things he ran on.
10:35 am
>> just want to be precise on the reaching out to chuck schumer to fix some of the problems of the affordable care act. you're with the president on that. you think that's a good idea since repeal and replace is not going anywhere. >> i'm for everyone working together to find relief for the american people. and we do need to repeal and replace. because we know obamacare is failing across this country. we'll see what they come with up. but obamacare has been a disaster, premiums are going up and insurers are pulling out of marketplaces. republicans have tried their best to get this done. we hope to find bipartisan support to solve this problem that's hurting millions of americans. >> let me get your reaction to these reports that steve bannon, of breitbart, a former top strategic adviser is now working to defeat some incumbent republican senators up for re-election. john barasso of wyoming, doug fisher of nebraska, orrin hatch
10:36 am
of utah. >> we stay neutral on primaries because then you can bring the divided faxes together towards the purpose of winning the election in the general, but yeah, this is going to be a tough midterm. we want to make sure we keep those incumbent senators in place. we want to make sure we keep their seats and but the voters are going to decide and ultimately, the rnc is going to support whatever the voters decide. >> you're the former chair of the michigan republican party. what's your are reaction to the news reports that are out there now that russian linked facebook ads specifically targeted voters in michigan in the presidential election in 2016 to hurt hillary clinton's campaign to create some chaos and in the end, to help donald trump? >> the biggest damage done to hillary clinton's campaign was done by hillary clinton in michigan. she didn't show up in our state. she ignored michigan. she flew over the issues that mattered to people in our state. she didn't talk about trade.
10:37 am
she didn't talk about better wages. she didn't talk about obamacare and most importantly, she didn't show up. president trump came to michigan over and over again. his message resognated and that's why he won this great state of michigan. >> he barely won the great state of michigan. you're right, it is a great state. he barely won the great state of michigan. it was it wasn't a landslide by any means, but here's the question once again. the russians were placeded ads designed to impact voters. what's your reaction to the report they were using facebook, other social media platforms to go after michigan voters to hurt hillary clinton and help donald trump? >> what saying is whatever they did in michigan is not why hillary clinton lost michigan. hillary clinton lost michigan because she didn't come to our state. she didn't campaign here. and she didn't resognate with our voters. >> do you acknowledge the -- >> i'm not privy to that. i have no knowledge of that.
10:38 am
>> other tkey battleground stat. you've seen all the reports. >> i haven't seen the reports. i've seen the reporting. i didn't see that as michigan chair. what i saw was a movement for president trump. i saw people making their own signs, opening their own offices. i saw rallies with 30,000 people. i saw the president come to our state on election day. and wake up on election day in michigan because that's how much our state meant to him. president trump u won this state. through a great message being a good candidate and showing up for the people of michigan who had been ignored by so many presidential candidates before including hillary clinton. >> very quickly, i want to get your reaction on harvey weinstein news. you've been demanding that democrats return donations, political contributions they receiveded from him in light of the news of his decades of sexual harassment. here's the question though, should republican candidates also return donations from people guilty of sexual harassment? >> well, if we have donor at the level of harvey weinstein who
10:39 am
gave 1.4 million who had access, yeah, you should. i don't know of anybody who's had that background. but harvey weinstein, what he has done, these eight settlements he made, his own admission, that he had demons that he treated women in an agree jous way, a sexual predator, using his power to put women in bad situations. something republicans and democrats should agree on. that it's despicable and you have seen democrats returning those donations. elizabeth warren and chuck schumer. i applaud them for doing that. the dnc should do that. they're keeping 90% of his donations. i don't understand. if you stand for treating women well and for the respect of women, you shouldn't take money from somebody who treated women with the absolute highest level of disrespect. >> because there's no doubt h s did awful, awful things and it's not come to light.
10:40 am
everyone now agrees on that. as you know over the past few days, a lot of critics have pointed out that the president of the united states, his remarks that came out almost exactly a year ago, the hollywood access hollywood tape showed a disrespect for women as well. you know what, i'm not going to play the tape. >> it's not even comparable. harvey weinstein brought women into hotel rooms. even to make that comparison is disrespectful to the president. he didn't have eight settlements, he didn't have women coming forward. harvey weinstein admits he did that. >> there were plenty of women who came forward and make ak six saiks against president trump. i'll play the clip for you because it's awful and people are referring to it saying it's a double standard. listen to this. >> i'm automatically attracted to beautiful -- just start kissing them. like a magnet.
10:41 am
they let you do it. whatever you want. grab the [ bleep ]. i can do anything. >> that was exactly a year ago. awful, awful words. he was still elected president of the united states and i'm not comparing what he said then in that video to what harvey weinstein did, but this crosses political parties. >> here's the difference, wolf. the president apologized for that and many republicans came out and said those comments weren't appropriate. the difference is harvey weinstein is a major bundler for the dnc. they have embraced him. he has admitted to these instances where he put women in completely inappropriate situations, that he was a sexual predator and we're just saying to the democratic party, give his money back. if you stand for what you say you do, for women's rights, if you are champions of women, give his money back. where's hillary clinton? where's she standing on this issue? she's been silent.
10:42 am
her silence is deafening. so i applaud the democrats who are giving back that money. they're doing the right thing. this isn't a partisan issue. all of us should be speaking out against the sexual predator, using his power to put women in terrible situations. >> the chair of the republican national committee, thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me. a killer's chilling words during a deposition, the las vegas gunman revealed his unusual habits and what he did in casinos all night. plus, investigators now revealing what those numbers on the note found in his room signify fied.

after more than 1,000 leads in the las vegas massacre investigation, there is no clear motive, but we are getting insight into the killer's lifestyle from a 2013 deposition the gunman stephen paddock gave for a lawsuit he filed against a hotel in las vegas. in an investigation obtained exclusively by cnn, he bet some nights up to $1 million and taking valium for anxiousness. joining us to discuss this is the former fbi senior profiler and author of "dangerous personalities" joe navarro. thank you very much for joining us. how valuable is this deposition and what does this tell us about stephen paddock? >> extremely valuable and i'm glad you guys were able to pull
10:53 am
it up because it definitely gives us an insight into this individual. you know, his own statements, though they may be self-reporting, gives us an insight into his lifestyle, the things that he likes, doesn't like the hours where he's up. he likes the nighttime, and so forth, but one of the things that stands out is just how caustic and almost narcissistic he was towards those tornadoes, and i ha attorneys and i have to tell you that would have worked against him in front of a judge. >> we are reporting the note paddock left behind in his hotel sui suite, how does it paint a picture of a motive? >> i'm not sure it paints a picture of the motive, but it does go to what we talked about before, and that is that this individual was so calculating
10:54 am
and so nefarious, his rep tillian indifference to human life, knowing that a crowd would be corralled. it doesn't surprise me that he has a list because it's consistent with psychopathy, a psychopath. >> first responders in las vegas who made it to the hotel room. listen to what they saw when they first entered the killer's room. >> so many guns, so many magazines, stacks and stacks of magazines everywhere, just in suitcases all neatly stacked. >> we were tripping over guns. tripping over long guns inside there were so many. >> that many? >> yes. >> all right. joe, your reaction, they described the scene looking like an armory. what does that tell us first of all, the amount of weapons that they saw and discovered in that hotel suite? >> well, it speaks to one, a lot of planning, a lot of
10:55 am
organization. the being able to get all of this equipment on the quiet and actually overplanning. this may speak to a little bit of obsessive compulsiveness, this over-planification, but that doesn't take away from the more dangerous and underlying pathology which is, you know, what kind of individual this really was. >> you think they're going to get the clear motive any time soon or is this going to be an open mystery? >> i think it's going to be an open mystery, and i'll tell you why. years ago i talked to a serial killer, and i asked him why did you do these things, and he said because he could. that's chilling, and oftentimes we may not know a motive other than the psychopathic mind has that capability. >> it is a sick, sick evil mind, indeed.
