3:00 am
dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far. now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network. rudy giuliani at it again. reportedly says president trump blocked the proposed at&t/time-warner merger. >> trump is saying it's not me, it's the doj. the antitrust division. rudy is saying the opposite. he's saying the president decided to do this. >> donald trump does not like cnn. he doesn't like cnn's parent company, time-warner, which is who at&t is trying to buy. not an apology for what kelly sadler said about senator mccain. >> i'm not going to comment on
3:01 am
down and said do not apologize. >> i don't understand the environment where that would be acceptable and you can come to work the next day and still have a job. rocks in the steep crater walls are falling into that, creating gas explosions. >> should just let mother nature do its thing. this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> good morning you to. he's a drama machine. that's how one former biographer is describing the president's new lawyer this morning, and drama is exactly what rudy giuliani is causing once again for the white house. >> less than a month into his new role, giuliani contradicting the federal government and his boss, calling into question the independence of the justice department. will he have to walk back these comments as he's been forced to do multiple times already this morning? here's more. >> reporter: rudy giuliani is causing another headache for the white house, and now also the
3:02 am
justice department this weekend. it's all because of comments he made in an interview with the "huffington post." giuliani told the "huffington post" that whatever lobbying michael cohen did on behalf of companies like at&t who paid him for consulting as we recently learned did not work. giuliani is the example of at&t's proposed mornierger with time-warner. the justice department blocked that merger, they sued to try and stop it because they said it would harm consumers. giuliani said in his interview with the "huffington post" that it was the president who denied that merger. that matters because the justice department is supposed to operate independent of the president. they said that they sued to block the merger without interference from the president or any sort of political bias. rudy giuliani's comments fly in the face of that. and in fact, there was even a sworn affidavit from the head of the antitrust division for the justice department saying that he was not influenced at all by the president or white house or anybody involved. now rudy giuliani is saying that, in fact, donald trump
3:03 am
himself was the one who denied this merger. the question is what at&t will do with this information. a judge is currently taking his time deciding whether this merger can go through or not. we're expecting a decision from him on june 12th. at&t could issue new filings on appeal, they could try to bring up this political bias defense. it's giving them another part of their arsenal that they can bring forward in this defense. at the end of the day, it's another rudy giuliani headache for the white house and the justice department. cnn, washington. >> thank you. full disclosure time-warner is the parent company of cnn. we have more now. daniel, on the day of the announcement that rudy giuliani was joining the president's legal team, it's almost laughable now to say it, but he told cnn's dana bash that his role would be, quote, limited.
3:04 am
his focus would be interfacing with robert mueller. it has not been limited. what is rudy giuliani doing, and what is he supposed to be doing? >> he's supposed to be the lawyer for president trump and trying to deal with robert mueller. a man who he knows well over their dealings over the years in the justice department. instead, he's been making pronouncements on iran, on north korea, on other issues, and it's almost like he's trying to pretend he's like a secretary of state, a role that he wanted in the trump administration but was denied. so this has cause the confusion among our allies and americans paying attention to this because rudy giuliani is not talking to the president about these matters, yet he's still pontificating. >> joey, i need you to walk a line for us and explain why in the specific the statement the president denied the merger is
3:05 am
legally significant. don't push us too deep into the weeds so people are dozing off. >> i'll try to keep you awake at 6:00. >> thank you. >> if you're going to have a department of justice, it's a department of justice for that very roecheason. that's what its focus is. as it relates to any merger, you don't punish companies for commercial success, you don't punish companies because of what they're doing, what they bring. you look and analyze the merger and see what is the effect on trade, what's its effect on competition. is it something that's legal, is it something that's proper? you have commercial statutes that address this. when you go away from this and it starts to be about motivations that are political, it demeans the process and makes you wonders how independent the judiciary is. we know we have an unconventional president. we know certainly he attacks jthe press, he attacks his -- attacks judges, he attacks the press, he attacks the process.
3:06 am
now you'll not have justice department doing what it historically does which is to analyze something on the merits. and now get into an issue -- and i should remind you that in terms of discovery, we know lawyers do discovery, that is what information do you have, share it with me, if it's relevant to the litigation. the lawyers attempted to get the communications between the white house and the justice department if any. and the judge ultimately denied them of that. but the simple legal answer is is that you have to have a justice department that protects people, not the president or the president's whims. that's problematic. >> hadas laid out the contradict pretty well. daniel, they've got to walk this back, right? what does the president say this time? again he gaept his facts straight eventually? i mean, where do you go from here? >> it's hard to see president trump throwing rudy giuliani under the bus more than he has done so already. i think we should remember that
3:07 am
they are friends from new york. this is not a washington lawyer that trump just met. and so you're more loyal to your friends. and so he's not going to really criticize rudy giuliani too much. and he doesn't want to weigh in and antagonize rudy. but it looks really bad because you don't want a banana republic, and if you have the president deciding on doj matters, that is very problematic. my fellow guests said. so it's hard to see how president trump defends rudy giuliani in this. >> joey, it may be sloppi, it may be distracting, it may be embarrassing, is rudy giuliani doing actual legal harm for the president? >> you know, i really think he is, victor. i don't think there's any question about it. i mean, i thought that his acquisition to the legal team was tremendous. he brings a knowledge of the process given his u.s. attorney history. he knows the players certainly. you know, i thought he was very
3:08 am
good in terms of strategy. the president respects him, and he could speak to the president and say don't say that, mr. president. when you get into this issues -- and i won't bring up stormy daniels, this is not such segment. the reality is if you look at his comments relating to contradicting michael cohen, contradicting the president, contradicting everyone, saying something, walking it back, having a redo, now he's talking about this dealing, and the president denied it, trying to explain that the 600 grand cohen got didn't make much of a difference. look, the reality is at the end of the day, this has to be a deal that's completed or not completed with its focus on how it affects competition. rudy giuliani making these statements -- i don't see friends from new york or not, and they have a long history, someone has to add value to what you do or don't. when they embarrass you, demean the process, and contradict you, i think it's time to go. we know this president's penchant for firing people.
3:09 am
then again, rudy's not just any other person, he's a longstanding friend. >> we'll have to see if the president or white house walk this back sometime today. this is an important one. daniel littman, joey jackson, thank you. white house chief of staff john kelly's backtracking on a comment he made that president trump is, quote, embarrassed by the russia probe. he clarified that he meant to say that the president was distracted by the investigation. i want you to hear what kelly originally told npr. an interview from thursday. >> may not be a cloud, but certainly the president is somewhat embarrassed, frankly, when world leaders come in, you know, the first couple of minutes, very conversation might revolve around that kind of thing. >> hours later kelly dialed back the comments speaking in the rose garden telling reporters that the investigation is, quote, unfair. there's a new threat to the island of hawaii. scientists are warning that another eruption could blast ballistic rocks into the air in the next few weeks. we'll talk to an official in
3:10 am
hawaii about how people who live there and emergency workers are preparing. and no apology. the white house refusing to condemn a white house aide's cruel joke about john mccain. also, a week remains before the royal wedding, and the british are so excited, they're betting on everything from how soon a royal baby will be born to -- >> heavens. give them a minute, people. >> please. to who has designed the bride's gown. all coming up. sometimes a day at the ballpark is more than just a day at the ballpark.

3:15 am
also a major issue posing serious health risks for people who live there and the emergency crews. earthquakes are rocking the island this week. authorities told people that they can return to their homes to collect their belongings. officials warn they may have to leave again just at a moment's notice. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar joins us with an update. it is tough to imagine having to live that way, that yes, you can go back, but in a second you may have to pick up and live again. >> you don't unpack the bag that you brought back. you leave it by the door in case you have to head out. the main concern would be a new eruption in addition to what we've had. this is incredible imagery. this is thermal imagery from the kilauea volcano summit. this is what we've referred to as the lava lake. what you need to focus on is the bright colors, the oranges, the pinks, watch this, that was april 23rd, now may 5th, now may 6th. notice how it's shrinking down. we are losing a lot of that
3:16 am
magma. it's condensing, shrinking back down into the earth. here's why -- here's why in is so important, okay. this is the volcano in question, okay. now we take a look inside. there's that magma, okay. as the levels drop as we showed in the picture, as it continues to drop, it's going to get closer and closer, down into the levels where the groundwater is, if i can get it to play -- there we go. this blue area here, this is the water. as the magma continues to drop down, it will interact with that water under ground. that seem builds up pressure, and as you lose that magma, rocks will build up. the pressure comes out. it's not only going to provide the ash and lava that you normally have, but now you have giant ballistic rocks as you referred to. these aren't the size of golf
3:17 am
balls, baseballs, volleyballs. this is like having your grill or riding lawnmower thrown at you. these are huge boulders. that poses yet another concern on top of what we have. let's look at the concerns that we already have. we still have a lot going on. we could have another eruptive explosion. we also have earthquakes that are continuous pretty much on this islands. not necessarily as frequently as we had last week, but they are still continuing. and that is a sign, a precursor, if you will, to another eruption. you also have additional fissures, not to mention the sulfur dioxide gas which can be dangerous if inhaled, and acid rain. if acid rain mixes into it, it can turn into acid rain. >> horrible, all of it horrible.
3:18 am
graphic designer, employee of the month. wanted to point that out. thank you very much. >> that was good. let's talk more about this -- hawaii police spokesman alan richmond with us now. thank you very much for being with us, sir. first of all, can you help us understand as a whole how important, how big is the threat of a new eruption on the big island? >> when you're dealing with mother nature, it's unpredictable to say the least. we've had this volcanic activity occurring since last thursday when we had a 6.7 earthquake, and i'm about a mile from the crater of kilauea right now. and we just had another 3.0 earthquake. we've had lots of those during the day. the 15 fissures that have opened up down in the putna area of hawaii have stopped with the
3:19 am
lava flow. but there's still a lot of steam and gas coming out of those fissures. the 1,700 or so folks that live in that area have been evacuated. however, they've been able to go back in permitting all the volcanic activity, to gather their belongings. they're most effective. as was mentioned a moment ago, up at the summit, the question is when will that explosion occur if it occurs. and so we're on pins and needles waiting to see what happens with that. >> are pockets of the islands unsafe? i'm trying to understand how expansive the danger is for people there. >> that's a good point. the big island of hawaii as it's called is large in mass. if you took all of the hawaiian islands, they would fit inside the big island. we're talking on the eastern
3:20 am
rift of the volcano toward the ocean. again, it's on the hilo side. most of the activity is generated down there. that's about 20 miles from the summit of q&a a. that's where the -- quakilauea. that's where the explosive activity starts. so the other side of the island, there's a lot of island left that's not affected. >> is that why they're saying, tourists, you can come? but if there is a major eruption, what does that mean for rest of the island? do you suggest tourists still keep their plans if they had planned to be there? >> well, i would say yes. i would continue to come -- a lot of tourists come to the kona side and also the hilo side to
3:21 am
go to the national park. however, the park is closed. closed today and will be closed until further notice. if you're planning to come to go hiking at the volcano, not a good time to do that. there's plenty of other safe activities around the island. >> talk to me about these people in the neighborhood. do you get the sense that they will be able to eventually go back and rebuild or take care of what needs to be taken care of, or has this been permanently changed? >> i think it's been permanently changed. when you have sidewalks opening up with fissures, six to eight to ten inches and lava shooting up 150 feet in the air, and as some of your video showed earlier, a car being engulfed and the lava is slow moving but still moving, you're not going to really stop it. so i think a lot of those areas will be impacted, and people will have to rebuild. they lost 36 buildings. and of those, 27 have been
3:22 am
homes. >> okay. mr. richman, alan richman, hawaii police spokesman. we appreciate your insight. thank you very much and wishing all of you the very best as we continue to watch what happens there. >> thank you very much. >> absolutely. take good care. this morning, still no white house apology. and listen, people are angry over this aide's cruel joke about john mccain dying. here's the question -- is it fair or appropriate to suggest the tone that set the stage for a joke like that comes from the president? and iran's supreme leader visited a book fair in tehran. nothing out of the ordinary perhaps. except that he was reading a specific book. cnn's fled fred has that story. >> reporter: the supreme leader went and saw the book "fire and fury." he was pictured with it. much more when we come back. what might seem like a small cough to you... can be a big bad problem that you could spread to

3:28 am
president trump's cia pick doesn't matter because he, this is a quote, is dying anyway. >> so far the white house has refused to apologize or acknowledge sadler's comment. abby phillip has the latest for us from washington. we want to be clear here, the white house has not denied that she said that, is that correct? >> reporter: they have not. they've really only characterized this whole incident as an unauthorized leak of private conversations that happened in the white house. what this means is that the white house isn't even denying that she said it. they're not addressing the sbants of her comments at all -- the substance of her comments at all. when asked whether or not this was a topdown issue, that president trump who has in the past criticized john mccain, accusing him of not being a war hero because he was captured during the vietnam war, whether the president himself is setting the tonight, listen to what -- the tone, listen to what sarah huckabee sanders said in response to that line of questioning from cnn's jeff zeleny. >> reporter: if you won't comment on the specific comment, what does the white house
3:29 am
believe about senator mccain, and is there a tone set from the top here where it is allowed for an aide to say he's dying anyway? >> certainly there is not a tone set here. we have a respect for all americans. that wh-- that's what we try to put forward in word and in action, on doing things that help every american in this country every single day. i think if you look at the policies we've put forth, you'll see that reflected. >> reporter: why not apologize to -- >> again, i'm not going -- again, i'm not going to get into a back and forth because people want to create issues of leaked staff -- >> reporter: no acknowledgment, no apology, even though the wife of senator john mccain, cindy mccain, responded over the weekend as well as his daughter, megan mccain.
3:30 am
lawmakers, republicans and democrats, have condemned this comment, calling for the white house, for sandler to apologize. so that that has not happened -- so far that has not happened. we know that sadler called megan mccain this week by phone to apologize to her privately. >> all right, thank you for walking us through it. former republican vice presidential nominee sarah palin says that it is sad to hear that john mccain has regrets about past decisions including the 2008 presidential campaign. her comments come after "the new york times" reports that mccain writes in his memoir that he should have ignored warnings from advisers and calling senator joe lieberman as his running mate calling it another mistake that he made. >> reporter: did that hurt to hear him say he would have rather chosen -- >> well, i don't lie, so i'll tell you a bit. you know, i think i described it earlier as a gut punch. but again, you know, i'm going to choose to look back on the
3:31 am
good times that we did have together because, you know, a lot of that campaign really was actually fun for us personally and for our families. you know, i will never disparage someone who has served our country and made a lot of skiffses as a vet -- sacrifices as a vet now. that's how i look at him, someone who served all those years. and i certainly appreciate that. and many other aspects that i see, characteristics that i appreciate in the senator. >> palin calls senator mccain a friend and says she will never disparage someone who's made a lot of sacrifices as a veteran. cnn political analyst julian zelizer is with us. let's start with the kelly sadler comment as we say good morning to you. >> good morning. >> you're a presidential historian, so i don't need to tell you that aides have said despicable things in other administrations, have made offcolor jokes.
3:32 am
to what do you credit the decision not to acknowledge it, apologize for it, and move on? >> i think there's two parts of it. one, you're right, many aides have said all sort of things over the decades, over the search -- over the centuries about other people in the white house. one thing that makes it different is the tone the president has set since the campaign where he often disparages people, and he can do it in an ugly way. i think that's why this comment is seen by some as a reflection of the mood and tone the president set for the country. the second is the lack of response. almost digging in not to apologize or not to say this was wrong. that's what makes it feel different. >> okay. two things here -- to zeleny's point and to yours still, is there detriment, first of all, to the white house not apologizing, and secondly, i know that you write in an op-ed
3:33 am
on cnn.com, quote, the race to the bottom has accelerated quickly. what did you mean by that? >> well, political rhetoric has been getting worse for several decades now. polarization gets worse, both parties have been willing to say pretty bad things about each other. now the president has almost given legitimacy to this kind of rhetoric. that hurts or democracy. we want a democracy where opposing sides can speak to each other in a civil fashion. that matters. we don't want a president legit mating these remarks about opponents. so that hurts us as a country and certainly hurts the presidency. it's an issue that he doesn't need to be dealing with on the week of many foreign policy developments from north korea to iran that, frankly, he'd probably rather be talking about. >> finally, this excerpt out of his upcoming memoir about sarah
3:34 am
palin. it's interesting that sarah palin reacted to the suggestion that picking her was a mistake, but the passage referred to a mistake in not picking joe lieberman as his running mate. what do you think about how john mccain felt about the decision to pick sarah palin specifically, not -- not picking his friend but picking her specifically? >> he was doing it to try to energize his campaign. he felt that he needed to do something big to respond to barack obama. then a candidate. and he needed to do something to show that he could tech to a different generation of republican voters. so a lot of the conventional wisdom said a pick like lieberman would be more interesting, create the bipartisan ticket. he went for palin. initially it was a success.
3:35 am
that quickly failed as palin stumbled on television and on the campaign trail. i think he regrets it. i think that was why he did it. it opened the door to elements of the republican party that mccain is now dealing with. some of the world of donald trump comes together in the palin pick. and with palin joining the ticket. i think that's also part of its regret. >> yeah. i expect we'll learn more about that decision and the regrets since in his upcoming memoir. >> julian zelizer, we appreciate you being here. thank you. >> thank you. okay, so many people are trying to figure out president trump's playbook, including iran's supreme leader. so this is the ayatollah here reading a book. check out what he is reading. that's michael wolfe's "fire and fury." we'll have more on this picture. and you know it's the final week before the big royal wedding. some brits are so excited they're wagering who designed

iraqis are voting today in the country's parliamentary election, the first vote since they declared victory last year. among concerns, jobs, corruption, rebuilding communities after years of conflict. they're voting on 329 seats. a quarter reserved for women. prime minister al abadi is seeking re-election. we know the country's shiite bloc has split into several major coalitions here which makes it difficult to predict who will come out on top. we'll continue to watch that. it looks as though everyone wants to know what's going on in the trump white house, including iran's supreme leader possibly. look at him here spotted at a book fair.
3:41 am
checking out a farsi edition of micha michael woolf's booing "fire and fury." he shared the picture on instagram. >> maybe he should be reading "the art of the deal." how the president has been played it this week. know when to walk away from the table. cnn international correspondent fred pleitgen is live from tehran. hello to you. is the ayatollah trolling the president? how are we to read the photograph tweeted out? >> reporter: it's interesting because there was a bit of an exchange. you heard the ayatollah criticizing the president this week. that picture was taken at a book fair in tehran that ayatollah ali khamenei went to, as well. he was pictured there reading that book. it's unclear or he didn't say exactly what he thought of the book. we'll wait and see if he goes on instagram even more and says stuff about it. however, after president trump, on a more serious note, pulled
3:42 am
out of the nuclear agreement, the ayatollah had choice words for him. he said president trump's corpse would be fodder for worms while the islamic republic will still stand. it certainly comes after a week where many iranians have become very, very concerned after the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear agreement, that their country could be even more isolated on the international stage in the future. then, of course, you had the skirmishes apparently between israel and the iranians taking place in syria. yesterday i was at friday prayers, a hardliner event, and there was a lot of anger directed toward the united states. >> we know that iran said, the foreign minister, said that they're threatening to restart the nuclear program on an industrial scale since this announcement from the president. how lime is that to happen when
3:43 am
he's meeting -- how likely is that to happen when he's meeting with others to solidify the deal? >> reporter: this is important to the future of the country. iranians are saying they hope the nuclear deal with somehow survive. they hope it can survive on a smaller scale. basically with the original sig force, china, russia, britain, france, and germany, minus the united states. that's why the foreign minister, zharif, is visiting all of these countries to make the case diplomatically. the iranians are say figure that's going to happen -- saying if that's going to happen, you have to stick up for our interests. he wants europeans to do business with iran, european countries to do business with iran. that's something that the u.s. wants to prevent. essentially what the iranians are trying to do is telling the europeans, look, you guys have to stand against america on this. unclear whether the europeans will bei will be -- will be willing to do that. conflict between the u.s. and european countries. look, if the iranians don't get
3:44 am
